Prescribing active transport as a planetary health intervention – benefits, challenges and recommendations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-08)A high proportion of people are insufficiently physically active. The reasons for this are complex and in part relate to social determinants of health, lifestyle choices, and deleterious environmental conditions like climate change, loss of green and outdoor environments and a concomitant loss of biodiversity. Physiotherapists, and other health professionals, may have a positive impact on these ... -
Electron Beam Sterilization of Poly(Methyl Methacrylate)—Physicochemical and Biological Aspects
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-24)Electron beam (E-beam) irradiation is an attractive and efficient method for sterilizing clinically implantable medical devices made of natural and/or synthetic materials such as poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). As ionizing irradiation can affect the physicochemical properties of PMMA, understanding the consequences of E-beam sterilization on the intrinsic properties of PMMA is vital for clinical ... -
Using the Schoolyard as a Setting for Learning Chemistry: A Sociocultural Analysis of Pre-service Teachers’ Talk about Redox Chemistry
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-11)The schoolyard as a setting for teaching and learning is rarely the focus of chemistry education. Therefore, a chemistry unit combining activities in the classroom and the schoolyard was designed to support pre-service teachers’ (PSTs) learning of redox chemistry. This study was conducted to investigate the PSTs’ talk about redox chemistry as they identified, photographed, and explained phenomena ... -
Intramuscular uptake of tranexamic acid during haemorrhagic shock in a swine model
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-18)Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduce mortality in bleeding trauma patients, with greater efect if administered early. Serum concentrations above 10 µg/mL are considered sufcient to inhibit fbrinolysis. Normally administered intravenously (i.v.), TXA can also be administered intramuscularly (i.m.). This could be advantageous in low resource and military settings, if sufcient serum concentrations ... -
A novel lncRNA derived from an ultraconserved region: lnc- uc.147, a potential biomarker in luminal A breast cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-13)The human genome contains 481 ultraconserved regions (UCRs), which are genomic stretches of over 200 base pairs conserved among human, rat, and mouse. The majority of these regions are transcriptionally active (T-UCRs), and several have been found to be differentially expressed in tumours. Some T-UCRs have been functionally characterized, but of those few have been associated to breast cancer (BC). ... -

Strong and lasting impacts of past global warming on baleen whales and their prey
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-02)Global warming is affecting the population dynamics and trophic interactions across a wide range of ecosystems and habitats. Translating these real-time effects into their long-term consequences remains a challenge. The rapid and extreme warming period that occurred after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition (7–12 thousand years ago) provides an opportunity ... -

Living through and with the global HIV/AIDS pandemic: Distinct ‘pandemic practices’ and temporalities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-12)In this study, we expand on the newly devised sociological concept of pandemic practices that emerged during the COVID-19 outbreak by applying it to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The analytical heuristic of pandemic practices distinguishes between four kinds of practices: (i) primary practices that encompass the public’s direct response to the pandemic, (ii) responsive practices that encompass altered ... -

Ulovlig påvirkningsvirksomhet i samarbeid med fremmed etterretningstjeneste. Er kriminalisering av påvirkningsvirksomhet i samarbeid med fremmed etterretningstjeneste forenelig med kravet til klar lovhjemmel etter EMK artikkel 7?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-09)In 2019, the Danish Parliament amended its Criminal Code, and introduced a ban on the participation in »unlawful influence activities conducted in cooperation with foreign intelligence services«. The ban is far-reaching, and is intended to criminalize participation in influence activities that can affect decision-making or the general public opinion in Denmark. According to Danish authorities, Denmark ... -

The changing relation between alcohol and life expectancy in Russia in 1965-2017
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-18)Introduction and Aims. In the 1990s, a strong inverse relationship between life expectancy (LE) in Russia and mortality from alcohol poisoning was observed. This association is remarkable as this cause accounts for less than 2% of deaths each year. It can be explained by treating the alcohol poisoning mortality as the best available measure in Russia of the population prevalence of harmful drinking ... -

Specific interactions between the alkaline protease of P. aeruginosa and its natural peptide inhibitor: ab initio molecular simulations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-16)Alkaline protease aeruginolysin (APR) is an important virulence factor in the evasion of the immune system by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). The P. aeruginosa genome also encodes the highly potent and specifc APR peptide inhibitor (APRin). However, the structural reason for the signifcant inhibition has not been revealed. Using ab initio molecular simulations, we here investigated the ... -
Origin and Periodic Behavior of Short Duration Signals Recorded by Seismometers at Vestnesa Ridge, an Active Seepage Site on the West-Svalbard Continental Margin
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-02)Short duration events (SDEs) are reported worldwide from ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs). Due to their high frequency (4–30 Hz) and short duration, they are commonly attributed to aseismic sources, such as fluid migration related processes from cold seeps, biological signals, or noise. We present the results of a passive seismic experiment that deployed an OBS network for 10-month (October 2015–July ... -

Augmenting SQLite for Local-First Software
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-17)Local-first software aims at both the ability to work offline on local data and the ability to collaborate across multiple devices. CRDTs (conflict-free replicated data types) are abstractions for offline and collaborative work that guarantees strong eventual consistency. RDB (relational database) is a mature and successful computer industry for management of data, and SQLite is an ideal RDB candidate ... -
To tolerate weather and to tolerate pain: two sides of the same coin? The Tromsø Study 7
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)It is a common belief that weather affects pain. Therefore, we hypothesized that weather can affect pain tolerance. This study used data from over 18,000 subjects aged 40 years or older from the general population, who participated in the Tromsø Study 7. They underwent a one-time assessment of cuff algometry pressure pain tolerance (PPT) and cold pain tolerance (CPT), tested with a cold pressor test. ... -
Glacier response to the Little Ice Age during the Neoglacial cooling in Greenland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-04)In the Northern Hemisphere, an insolation driven Early to Middle Holocene Thermal Maximum was followed by a Neoglacial cooling that culminated during the Little Ice Age (LIA). Here, we review the glacier response to this Neoglacial cooling in Greenland. Changes in the ice margins of outlet glaciers from the Greenland Ice Sheet as well as local glaciers and ice caps are synthesized Greenland-wide. ...
