Bakgrunn: Tema i studien er hvordan engelsklærere i videregående skole opplever kartlegging og vurdering av elever med dysleksi. Læreren tar mange avgjørelser gjennom en arbeidsdag, blant annet gjennom bruk av sitt profesjonelle skjønn. Denne studien belyser blant annet kraften av de skjønnsmessige vurderingene som ligger bak lærerens beslutning om bruk av kartleggingsresultater og hvordan vurderingen ...

Among the basic cognitive skills of the biological brain in humans and other mammals, a fundamental one is the ability to recognize inexact patterns in a sequence of objects or events. Accelerating inexact string matching procedures is of utmost importance when dealing with practical applications where huge amounts of data must be processed in real time, as usual in bioinformatics or cybersecurity. ...

<i>Background</i> - To determine the serum levels of the lectin pathway proteins early in the disease course and 17 years after disease onset and to correlate the protein levels to markers of disease activity in participants from a population-based Nordic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) cohort. Additionally, to assess the predictive value of lectin pathway proteins with respect to remission ...

Acid-catalyzed condensation of pyrrole, 4-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde, and azulene, followed by DDQ oxidation, has resulted in the isolation of the novel macrocycle azulicorrole, arguably the first example of a carbacorrole aside from N-confused corrole. Despite poor yields (<1%), the free ligand could be structurally characterized and converted to the formal Cu(III) and Au(III) derivatives, of which ...

<i>Purpose</i>: Norway has experienced an unexplained, steep increase in colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence in the last half-century, with large differences across its counties. We aimed to determine whether geographical distribution of lifestyle-related CRC risk factors can explain these geographical differences in CRC incidence in Norwegian women.<p><p> <i>Methods</i>: We followed a nationally ...

This article considers “Kubla Khan” and the the Arab dream section from the fifth book <i>The Prelude</i> as precursors to the recently theorized concept of saturated phenomenality. Both Coleridge and Wordsworth insist on the limitedness of their dream subjects even as they magnify their dreamt of landscapes to heights of sublimity. Falke describes the implications that this insistence on smallness ...

<i>Background</i> - Health registries may yield important data for epidemiological studies. However, in order to be a valuable source for information, the registered data have to be correct.<p><p> <i>Objectives</i> - The aim of the study was to validate data from the Norwegian Patient Registry (NPR) regarding multiple sclerosis (MS).<p><p> <i>Materials and Methods</i> - We obtained data ...

Reglene for sametingsvalget ble endret til valget høsten 2009, noe som medførte nye rammebetingelser både for valgavvikling og for valgkampene. De mest betydningsfulle endringene var at deler av velgermassen kun har mulighet til å forhåndsstemme, kretsene er blitt færre og større, og mandatfordelingen blir revidert før hvert valg. Artikkelen skal svare på to forskningsspørsmål: Hvilken betydning har ...

<i>Background</i> - The Shenkursk Injury Registry (SHIR) was established in the Shenkursk District, Northwestern Russia in 2015 for the purposes of primary prevention. The SHIR covers all injuries (ICD-10 diagnoses from S00 to T78) for which medical aid is given at the Shenkursk central district hospital and includes data about injury circumstances. We used the SHIR data to assess the quality of ...

The uptake of inorganic nutrients by rootless parasitic plants, which depend on host connections for all nutrient supplies, is largely uncharted. Using X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), we analyzed the element composition of macro‐ and micronutrients at infection sites of the parasitic angiosperm <i>Cuscuta reflexa</i> growing on hosts of the genus <i>Pelargonium</i>. Imaging methods combining ...
