Significant increase in shipping in the Arctic has caught international and national attention. The rising presence of touristic expedition cruise vessels might describe a special case for noise as a marine pollutant while they seek exclusive opportunities to experience the Arctic first-hand. This interdisciplinary study develops a conceptual framework to investigate context-specific vessel ...

Background and aim: Patients with cancer are at high risk of malnutrition, yet relevant ICD-10 codes for malnutrition are underutilized in cancer clinics. Understanding oncologists' perspectives is crucial for optimizing malnutrition diagnosis codes and enhancing nutritional practices to improve patient care. This study aims to explore oncologists' perspectives on the use and feasibility of the ...

The Solar Orbiter (SO) mission provides the opportunity to study the evolution of solar wind turbulence. We use SO observations of nine extended intervals of homogeneous turbulence to determine when turbulent magnetic field fluctuations may be characterized as: (i) wave packets and (ii) coherent structures (CSs). We perform the first systematic scale-by-scale decomposition of the magnetic field ...

Interpreting the phenotypes of bla_SHV alleles in Klebsiella pneumoniae genomes is complex. Whilst all strains are expected to carry a chromosomal copy conferring resistance to ampicillin, they may also carry mutations in chromosomal bla_SHV alleles or additional plasmid-borne bla_SHV alleles that have extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) activity and/ or β-lactamase ...

Improving the predictive power of food web analysis is a major challenge. Identifying the relationships that link topological and dynamical features may help. We used the predictions of loop analysis about the effect of perturbations targeted to the components of Barents sea food web to quantify their sensitivity and community impact, that we summarized in two new indices, NI and NS. Using a ...

The reason why Nora in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House (1879) went to the extent of forging her father’s signature in order to take out a large loan was that her husband, Torvald Helmer, was “dangerously ill” (Ibsen 2016, 117, hereafter referred to by page numbers only) and needed a longer stay in the south in order to recover. And he recovers, is “[f]it as a fiddle,” and has no relapses; he “hasn’t ...

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) which make up the fenestrated wall of the hepatic sinusoids, are active scavenger cells involved in blood waste clearance and liver immune functions. Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid commonly used in the clinic and as cell culture supplement. However, the response is dependent on tissue, cell type, and cell state. The aim of this study was ...

We study point-line configurations through the lens of projective geometry and matroid theory. Our focus is on their realization spaces, where we introduce the concepts of liftable and quasi-liftable configurations, exploring cases in which an n-tuple of collinear points can be lifted to a nondegenerate realization of a point-line configuration. We show that forest configurations are liftable ...

Background: Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) is safe, effective and increasingly available. While OPAT in Norwegian healthcare has been rare, a new continuous ambulatory delivery device (CADD) allowing multiple daily dosing treatments has been innovated making OPAT more accessible.<p> <p>Objectives: To describe the clinical outcome and safety using CADD in an OPAT setting. <p>Methods: ...

Purpose: To access the attitudes of service users about the sharing of health records for research and to foster collaboration between municipal health services and the specialist health services in Norway.<p> <p>Methods: Members (n≈2000) of the Norwegian mental health service users’ organizations (SUO’s), ADHD Norway, the Autism Association and the Tourette Association, representing Central ...
