Background: Complying with individual privacy perceptions is essential when processing personal information for research. Our specific research area is performance development of elite athletes, wherein nutritional aspects are important. Before adopting new automated tools that capture such data, it is crucial to understand and address the privacy concerns of the research subjects that are to be ...

Continuous warnings on quality and food safety of shrimp products from importers have led to increases in port rejections. This has increased awareness amongst Vietnamese farmers for conducting shrimp farming according to specific certification guidelines. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the situation of quality control and effectiveness of Good Aquaculture Practices (GAP) in Vietnam ...

Gastrointestinal tract (GI) cancers are among the most common types of cancers worldwide. In particular, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most lethal in terms of number of incidences and mortality (third most common cause of cancer and the second common cause of cancer-related deaths). Colonoscopy is the gold standard for screening patients for CRC. During the colonoscopy, gastroenterologists examine ...

One of the most intriguing facets of the climate system is that it exhibits variability across all temporal and spatial scales; pronounced examples are temperature and precipitation. The structure of this variability, however, is not arbitrary. Over certain spatial and temporal ranges, it can be described by scaling relationships in the form of power laws in probability density distributions and ...

Dette er en kvalitativ studie som utvikler kunnskap om studenters opplevelser av studielivskvalitet i et studieforløp. Det er utført tre individuelle intervjuer av studenter i på master- eller bachelornivå for å få et fenomenologisk innblikk i hvordan de anser studielivskvaliteten i sitt studieforløp. Studien er en replikasjonsstudie av Damsgaard (2019) studie Studielivskvalitet. Studenters erfaringer ...

I denne oppgaven undersøker jeg hva som preger den akademiske debatten om manualbaserte programmer og standardisert kartlegging i norske barnehager. Forskere på begge sider av debatten hevder de er opptatte av saklighet. Mitt inntrykk er at debatten føres med virkemidler som polariserer og skaper fiendebilder, og at praksis i barnehagen dermed ikke drives videre på et hensiktsmessig vis. I oppgaven ...

Resilience is a concept of growing interest in the research field, as well as bullying and quality of life. Resilience has gained rising interest over the past decade because it has capacity for systematically informed prevention and intervention (Elbau et al. 2019). This study looks at data from a former study “Trivsel I Tromsø” with children and adolescence victims to bullying and harassment (N=237) ...

Objective - To assess initiation of hormonal contraception among women aged 15-19 in the US and Norway by birth cohort.<p> <p>Study design - We used population-based survey (US) and administrative (Norway) data to estimate the cumulative probability of age at first use of hormonal contraception for female residents born between 1989 and 1997 in 3-year birth cohorts. Differences between countries ...

Context - Impacts of dust grains on spacecraft are known to produce typical impulsive signals in the voltage waveform recorded at the terminals of electric antennas. Such signals (as may be expected) are routinely detected by the Time Domain Sampler (TDS) system of the Radio and Plasma Waves (RPW) instrument on board Solar Orbiter.<p> <p>Aims - We investigate the capabilities of RPW in terms of ...

Mountain slopes in periglacial environments are affected by frost- and gravity-driven processes that shape the landscape. Both rock glaciers and rockslides have been intensively inventoried worldwide. Although most inventories are traditionally based on morphologic criteria, kinematic approaches based on satellite remote sensing have more recently been used to identify moving landforms at the regional ...
