The microbial diversity associated with terrestrial groundwater seepage through permafrost soils is tightly coupled to the geochemistry of these fluids. Terrestrial alkaline methane seeps from Lagoon Pingo, Central Spitsbergen (78°N) in Norway, with methane-saturated and oxygen-limited groundwater discharge providing a potential habitat for methanotrophy. Here, we report on the microbial community’s ...

Studien undersøker hvordan migrasjon påvirker samfunnssikkerheten i Norge med tanke på radikalisering. Problemstillingen belyses gjennom en eksplorativ litteraturstudie, basert på en dokumentanalyse av eksisterende forskning. Studien benytter internasjonalt anerkjente teorier for å analysere sammenhengen mellom migrasjon og radikalisering i norsk kontekst. Funnene viser at migrasjonens komplekse ...

Formålet med denne studien innenfor fagområdet instrumentaldidaktikk har vært å undersøke hvorvidt elever som er tatt opp på et talentprogram for musikalske talenter opplever fenomenet flow i sin hverdag. Videre har studien sett på hvilke mulige positive effekter opplevelse av fenomenet kan ha overfor elevenes motivasjon og utvikling av kunnskap. Studiens teoretiske rammeverk består av Csíkszentmihályis ...

This article explores the potential of Zeonor, a transparent cyclic olefin polymer, for applications in transparent acoustic/photo-acoustic transducers. Despite its widespread use in optics, microfluidics, medical devices, and electronics, Zeonor’s acoustic properties remain understudied. To extend this, the current work employs scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) to obtain its mechanical properties. ...

This study examines the interplay of race and gender in shaping the journeys of Asian female digital nomads who navigate the realms of travel and work simultaneously, through the lens of postcolonial feminism. Through our qualitative exploration, we contend that prevailing discourses constrain understandings of Asian women's lived experiences. While our respondents' narratives align with existing ...

This paper serves as the first empirical study on self-supervised pre-training on partially supervised learning, an emerging yet unexplored learning paradigm with missing annotations. This is particularly important in the medical imaging domain, where label scarcity is the main challenge of practical applications. To promote the awareness of partially supervised learning, we leverage partially ...

Enzymatic degradation of algae cell wall carbohydrates by microorganisms is under increasing investigation as marine organic matter gains more value as a sustainable resource. The fate of carbon in the marine ecosystem is in part driven by these degradation processes. In this study, we observe the microbiome dynamics of the macroalga Fucus vesiculosus in 25-day-enrichment cultures resulting in ...

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV), the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection globally, is a key risk factor for high-grade cervical lesions and cervical cancer. Since 2009, HPV vaccination has been part of the national immunization program for girls in 7th grade in Norway (women born 1997 and later). This study aimed to assess the impact of HPV vaccination on the incidence of high-grade ...

Stoat (Mustela erminea) and weasel (M. nivalis) are hard to monitor as they are elusive of nature and leave few identifying marks in their surroundings. Stoat and weasel are both fully protected in Denmark and are thought to be widely distributed throughout the country. Despite this stoat and weasel were listed on the Danish Red List as Near Threatened in 2019, as their densities and population ...

The satisfaction of basic psychological needs is closely connected with an individual’s well-being and mental health. The purpose of the present study was to examine the associations of persistent and pervasive negative cognitions about oneself and others (early maladaptive schemas) and pathological personality traits (DSM-5 and ICD-11 personality traits) with the satisfaction and frustration of ...
