The research is based on analyses of ETFs (Exchange Traded Fund) in G7 countries and ... -
Seismicity of the western-Svalbard margin and its relationship with near surface fluid flow and seepage systems - A study using ocean bottom seismometers
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-09-28)Methane, a high potential greenhouse gas, travels as a fluid and releases as a gas in large quantities from the seafloor. This seepage impacts marine ecosystems and in specific cases, it has potential to reach the atmosphere, and therefore affect the climate. Gas seepage is documented worldwide, but there are still large unknowns regarding seepage dynamics, faulting/fracturing of the sediments and ... -
Analyse i kvalitativ forskning – Det vi ikke skriver om
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-02)Tema for artikkelen er prosessen der vi reduserer et forskningsmateriale fra kvalitative intervjuer til data i en analyse. Vi viser eksempler på hva forskeren velger eller ikke velger å bruke som data i analysen når et større empirisk materiale skal reduseres gjennom en analyseprosess. Vi diskuterer mulige årsaker til at noe av det empiriske materialet forblir ubrukt i analysen. Det kan være at ... -
Penicillin for enhver pris?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-26)Barn i trassalderen og bitre penicillinblandinger fire ganger i døgnet er en vanskelig kombinasjon. Smalspektret antibiotika er gullstandarden, men må balanseres opp mot barnets ubehag og etterlevelse av behandlingen. -
The Emotional Risk Posed by AI (Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-12)The existential risk posed by ubiquitous artificial intelligence (AI) is a subject of frequent discussion with descriptions of the prospect of misuse, the fear of mass destruction, and the singularity. In this paper I address an underexplored category of existential risk posed by AI, namely emotional risk. Values are a main source of emotions. By challenging some of our most essential values, AI ... -
The aromatic bicomplex for the description of divergence-free aromatic forms and volume-preserving integrators
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-08)Aromatic B-series were introduced as an extension of standard Butcher-series for the study of volume-preserving integrators. It was proven with their help that the only volume-preserving B-series method is the exact flow of the differential equation. The question was raised whether there exists a volume-preserving integrator that can be expanded as an aromatic B-series. In this work, we introduce ... -
Survival after cancer-related venous thrombosis: the Scandinavian Thrombosis and Cancer Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-28)Patients with cancer have an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE), and this combination is reported to result in poorer survival compared with cancer alone. This study aimed to investigate the impact of VTE on the survival of patients with cancer in a general population. The Scandinavian Thrombosis and Cancer (STAC) cohort, a population-based cohort including 144 952 participants ... -
Alignment of Multifrequency SAR Images Acquired over Sea Ice Using Drift Compensation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-07)In this article, we investigate the feasibility to align synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery based on a compensation for sea ice drift occurring between temporally shifted image acquisitions. The image alignment is a requirement for improving sea ice classification by combining multifrequency SAR images acquired at different times. Images obtained at different radar frequencies provide ... -
Hvordan skape mening av det usynlige - Et teoretisk rammeverk for sensemaking under dataangrep
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-31)Dataangrep er en økende trussel blant organisasjoner og virksomheter i Norge. Et ekstra element i dette er at trusselen er vanskelig å se og forstå for aktører som ikke er utdannet eller har kompetanse på det tekniske fagfeltet. Problemstillingen for denne studien tar for seg hva som er viktig for at offentlige organisasjoner skal kunne forstå og formidle omstendighetene under et dataangrep. Studien ... -
Measuring small-scale plasma irregularities in the high-latitude E- and F-regions simultaneously
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-18)The ionosphere, Earth’s space environment, exhibits widespread turbulent structuring, or plasma irregularities, visualized by the auroral displays seen in Earth’s polar regions. Such plasma irregularities have been studied for decades, but plasma turbulence remains an elusive phenomenon. We combine scale-dependent measurements from a ground-based radar with satellite observations to characterize ... -
Deep-sea sponge derived environmental DNA analysis reveals demersal fish biodiversity of a remote Arctic ecosystem
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-18)The deep-sea is vast, remote, and largely underexplored. However, methodological advances in environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys could aid in the exploration efforts, such as using sponges as natural eDNA filters for studying fish biodiversity. In this study, we analyzed the eDNA from 116 sponge tissue samples and compared these to 18 water eDNA samples and visual surveys obtained on an Arctic seamount. ... -

A role for the terminal C5-C9 complement pathway in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-09)Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive interstitial lung disease characterized by damage to the alveolar epithelium, leading to fibrosis and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix in the interstitium of the lung. In the present study we performed high-resolution proteomic profiling of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from IPF patients and controls, and found that the ... -
Cytokine pattern in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with the interleukin-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-17)Background - Tocilizumab improves myocardial salvage index (MSI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but its mechanisms of action are unclear. Here, we explored how cytokines were affected by tocilizumab and their correlations with neutrophils, C-reactive protein (CRP), troponin T, MSI and infarct size.<p> <p>Methods - STEMI patients were randomised to receive a single ... -
LGBTIQ+ prioritization in refugee admissions – The case of Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-30)This article discusses some of the normative bases for the recent (2020) Norwegian policy prioritizing LGBTIQ+ refugees in refugee admissions. It argues that, when properly interpreted, this policy is compatible with the UNHCR vulnerability selection criteria but is not independently supported by it. Combined with some of the broader moral principles guiding refugee admissions – including both ... -
Performing nationalism – Sámi culture and diversity in early education in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-26)Kindergartens are institutional arenas for raising the nation through educating children in an every-day setting. With the implementation of the Framework Plan of 2017 (FP), the notion of “Sàmi culture” became part of the mandatory curriculum in all Norwegian kindergartens for the first time. All kindergartens are now expected to ensure that children develop respect for, and solidarity with, the ... -
