Letter position coding in word recognition has been widely investigated in the visual modality (e.g., labotarory is confusable with laboratory), but not as much in the tactile modality using braille, leading to an incomplete understanding of whether this process is modality-dependent. Unlike sighted readers, braille readers do not show a transposed-letter similarity effect with nonadjacent transpositions ...

Since 2014, an electronic prescribing system has been piloted for patients receiving medications as multidose drug dispensing; a system commonly used in home care services. In this longitudinal study of 499 patients, we investigate workload at the pharmacies, measured as the number of times pharmacists assess prescriptions. In the 26-week period before the implementation, 17% of the patients got ...

Clinical text contains many negated concepts since the physician excludes irrelevant symptoms when reasoning and concluding about the diagnosis. This study investigates the machine interpretation of negated symptoms and diagnoses using a rule-based negation detector and its influence on downstream text classification task. The study focuses on the effect of negated concepts and NegEx preprocessing ...

Clinical research in primary care is relatively scarce. Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are research infrastructures to overcome hurdles associated with conducting studies in primary care. In Norway, almost all 5.4 million inhabitants have access to a general practitioner (GP) through a patient-list system. This gives opportunity for a PBRN with reliable information about the general ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) for radiology has the potential to handle an ever-increasing volume of imaging examinations. However, the implementation of AI for clinical practice has not lived up to expectations. We suggest that a key problem with AI projects in radiology is that high expectations associated with new and unproven AI technology tend to scale the projects in ways that challenge their ...

Objective - To assess pain, discomfort, and functional impairment in children experiencing extraction of primary canine or primary canine and primary first molar as an interceptive treatment for palatally displaced permanent canines.<p> <p>Material and methods - Twenty-eight children, aged 9.5–14 years with displaced permanent maxillary canines were randomly assigned for extraction of the primary ...

Introduction - To study the relationship between education level and vascular complications in individuals with type 2 diabetes in Norway.<p> <p>Research design and methods - Multiregional population-based cross-sectional study of individuals with type 2 diabetes in primary care. Data were extracted from electronic medical records in the period 2012–2014. Information on education level was obtained ...

This article examines discursive practices of (b)ordering in outputs circulated by a formerly state-funded, extreme-right civil society organization, the Human Rights Service (HRS). Focusing on how an antagonistic relational structure is systematically encouraged between “non-Western,” minoritized populations and Norwegian majorities, I assess the fundamental components of a semiotics of war. ...

Purpose: To examine the 12-months prevalence and 12-months prospective change in reported sexual harassment and abuse (SHA)-victimization among young elite athletes, recreational athletes, and reference students in three different social settings and identify the perpetrators. Methods: In total, 919 adolescents responded to an online questionnaire in 12th grade (T1) and 13th grade (T2). The ...

Furan clusters are very important to understand the dynam- ics and properties of the furan solvent. They can be used combined with quantum cluster equilibrium theory to theo- retically determine the thermodynamics properties of the fu- ran solvent. To understand the structures of the furan clus- ters, one needs to understand the non-covalent interactions that hold the furan molecules together. ...
