    • Acceptance barriers of using patients’ self-collected health data during medical consultation 

      Giordanengo, Alain; Årsand, Eirik; Grøttland, Astrid; Bradway, Meghan; Hartvigsen, Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Patients increasingly collect health-related data using mobile health apps and sensors. Studies have shown that this data can be beneficial for both clinicians and patients if used during medical consultations. However, such data is almost never used outside controlled situations or medical trials. This paper explains why the usage of self-collected health data is not widespread by identifying ...
    • Probiotics, lactic acid bacteria and bacilli: interesting supplementation for aquaculture 

      Ringø, Einar; Van Doan, Hien; Lee, SH; Soltani, Mehdi; Hoseinifar, Seyed Hossein; Harikrishnan, R; Song, SK (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-05)
      Probiotics administration in aquafeed is known to increase feed consumption and absorption due to their capacity to release a wide range of digestive enzymes and nutrients which can participate in digestion process and feed utilization, along with the absorption of diet components led to an increase in host’s health and well‐being. Furthermore, probiotics improve gut maturation, prevention of ...
    • Seeing from without, seeing from within: Aspectual differences between Spanish and Russian 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Fábregas, Antonio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-10)
      Linguistic categories such as aspect are not identical across languages, and cross-linguistic differences can reveal differences in construal and conceptual categorization, which are key concepts in cognitive linguistics. SpanishRussian parallel data diverge in situations where Spanish uses a Perfective Past tense form, while the Russian translation equivalent is an Imperfective Past tense form. ...
    • 3rd person clitic combinations across Catalan varieties: Consequences of the nature of the dative clitic 

      Cabré, Teresa; Fábregas, Antonio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-12)
      This article argues that variation in how 3rd person clitic combinations are solved across Catalan varieties depends on the internal morphosyntactic shape of the dative clitic in each variety. We argue that the dative clitic in Valencian Catalan is an inherently case-marked pronominal form (KP), while non Valencian Catalan varieties, that contain a locative clitic, build the dative as a definite ...
    • Suffering, agency and care in medically unexplained symptoms (MUS). An ethnographic study of the social course and reframing of MUS in Norwegian youth 

      Kvamme, Maria Fredriksen (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-05-12)
      Communicative challenges and the role of communication in making sense of symptoms are shown in the scientific and biomedical conceptualizations of the phenomenon of medically unexplained symptoms (MUS), in health communication and in the challenges of patients with MUS to understand and manage their illnesses. Little is known about young people’s experiences, how they cope with their illness and ...
    • Quantifying tourism booms and the increasing footprint in the Arctic with social media data 

      Runge, Claire Alice; Remi, Daigle; Hausner, Vera Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-16)
      Arctic tourism has rapidly increased in the past two decades. We used social media data to examine localized tourism booms and quantify the spatial expansion of the Arctic tourism footprint. We extracted geotagged locations from over 800,000 photos on Flickr and mapped these across space and time. We critically examine the use of social media as a data source in data-poor regions, and find that while ...
    • Advancing alcohol Research in low-income and middle-income countries: a global alcohol environment framework 

      Walls, Helen; Cook, Sarah Anne; Matzopolous, Richard; London, Leslie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-16)
      Alcohol-related harm has gained increased attention in high-income countries (HICs) in recent years which, alongside government regulation, has effected a reduction in alcohol consumption. The alcohol industry has turned its attention to low-income and middle-income country (LMIC) markets as a new source of growth and profit, prompting increased consumption in LMICS. Alcohol use in LMICs is also ...
    • Psoroma nivale (Pannariaceae, lichenized Ascomycota) a New species with dark, elongate squamules and bacilliform ascospores from arctic Québec, Canada. 

      Fryday, A.F.; Elvebakk, Arve; Anderson, F.L.; Gagnon, J.Y. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-04)
      The new species Psoroma nivale is described from an area of late snow-lie in the Keglo Bay area on the eastern side of Ungava Bay, northern Québec, Canada. It is superficially similar to P. hypnorum but has a dark, brownish black thallus colour without reddish hues, much-branched, proliferating squamules, thick paraphyses, distinct but inconspicuous IKI+ ascus tube structures, and characteristic ...
    • Food and Cultural Traits in Coastal Northern Finnmark in the 14th-19th Centuries 

      Fjellström, Markus; Eriksson, Gunilla; Lidén, Kerstin Birgitta; Svestad, Asgeir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-06)
      In this study, we used stable isotope analysis and radiocarbon dating to study diet, mobility and chronology in two late medieval/historical coastal populations in northern Norway. We have shown that the individuals buried at Kirkegårdsøya date between 1331 and 1953 cal AD and had a homogenous marine diet, whereas the individuals buried at Gullholmen had a more heterogeneous diet, consisting of both ...
    • Caring for the dead? An alternative perspective on Sámi reburial 

      Svestad, Asgeir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-29)
      This article is an effort to critically discuss Sámi repatriation and reburial practice based on the analysis of five repatriation cases. Since the seminal repatriation (and burial) of the skulls of Somby and Hætta in Gávvuonna/Kåfjord in 1997, and the more recent reburial of 94 skeletons in Njauddâm/Neiden in 2011, a precedent seems established in Norway that allows the unconditional reburial of ...
    • Low Molecular Mass Myocardial Hyaluronan in Human Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy 

      Lorén, Christina E.; Dahl, Christen Peder; Do, Lan; Almaas, Vibeke; Geiran, Odd; Mörner, Stellan; Hellman, Urban (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-29)
      During the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the heart returns to fetal energy metabolism where cells utilize more glucose instead of fatty acids as a source of energy. Metabolism of glucose can increase synthesis of the extracellular glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan, which has been shown to be involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. The aim of this study was to ...
    • The disappearance of the sea sámi as a cultural display category: Assimilation policies and the role of industrial expositions 

      Baglo, Cathrine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-28)
      While the Sea Sámi had a prominent position in an industrial exposition held in Tromsø in northern Norway in 1870, this category of display was no longer present in an industrial exposition held in the same city in 1894. In this article I explore this change and how the display of Sámi culture at the Tromsø expositions fit into a larger societal picture. Moreover, I argue that the creation of material ...
    • Geographic variation of human dietary intake of PCBs from Norwegian coastal fish species and potential health risks of consumption 

      Gerard, Sia R. (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-31)
      Today, the majority of human exposure to PCBs and dioxins originates from food consumption. In Norway, most dietary intake of the same compounds comes from fish consumption. This study aimed to investigate if current human dietary intake of PCBs and dioxins demonstrated geographic variation across Norwegian coastal regions. Also, to evaluate if resulting consumption patterns of some Norwegians could ...
    • Collective memory of the Kirkenes iron mine in sub-Arctic Norway: Its role in forming the future 

      Wråkberg, Urban (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-30)
      This study argues that collective memory is a relevant concept that can be used to analyse how the outlooks on industrial futures are shaped in remote northern locations. The case in question is the Sydvaranger iron mine in Kirkenes in the north-easternmost part of Norway. By drawing attention to the long periods of time often involved in forming collective memory, this study questions the viability ...
    • A comparison of Norwegian and Spanish L1 acquisition of possessive constructions 

      Fábregas, Antonio; Anderssen, Merete; Westergaard, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-04)
      In language acquisition studies, there is a recurring debate regarding how to account for non-target-consistent utterances produced by young children. Anderssen and Westergaard (Lingua 120:2569–2588, 2010) study the acquisition of Norwegian possessives, which may be pre- or postnominal, and find that children overuse prenominal possessives, even though they are considerably less frequent than ...
    • Ledelse og kvalitetsutvikling i kommunale barnehager - En kvalitativ studie om lederes igangsetting, oversetting og iverksetting av kvalitetsutviklingsarbeid i barnehagen 

      Johannessen, Inger Lise (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-05-07)
      Avhandlingens hensikt har vært å undersøke hvordan et arbeid med kvalitetsutvikling realiseres i barnehager gjennom lokal styring og ledelse i kommunale barnehager. Kvalitetsplanen for barnehager i Tromsø kommune er i denne avhandlingen et eksempel på et lokalt styringsdokument som artikulerer ideer om kvalitet i barnehagene. Barnehagelederne blir i avhandlingen blant annet betegnet som translatører ...
    • Mo birget soadis (how to cope with war) - Adaptation and resistance in Sámi relations to Germans in wartime Sápmi, Norway and Finland 

      Evjen, Bjørg; Lehtola, Veli-Pekka (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-09)
      The article studies the Sámi experiences during the ‘German era’ in Norway and Finland, 1940–1944, before the Lapland War. The Germans ruled as occupiers in Norway, but had no jurisdiction over the civilians in Finland, their brothers-in-arms. In general, however, encounters between the local people and the Germans appear to have been cordial in both countries. Concerning the role of racial ideology, ...
    • The Journalist as a Detective: The Media Insights and Critique in Post-1991 American, Russian and Swedish Crime Novels 

      Åker, Patrik; Rogatchevski, Andrei (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-26)
      Today it often happens that the protagonist in crime fiction is a journalist—for instance, in the globally spread sub-genre of Nordic noir. This article examines what readers can learn about journalism by comparing crime fiction (a widely popular genre fostering society critique) from Russia, Sweden, and USA. These countries with significantly different press traditions have in the post-1991 era ...
