The long-term evolutionary impacts of whole-genome duplication (WGD) are strongly influenced by the ensuing rediploidization process. Following autopolyploidization, rediploidization involves a transition from tetraploid to diploid meiotic pairing, allowing duplicated genes (ohnologs) to diverge genetically and functionally. Our understanding of autopolyploid rediploidization has been informed ...

Arctic sea ice contains a substantial amount of living biota of which part is lost through melt and export out of the Arctic Ocean every year. It is unclear how populations can be maintained within the Arctic Ocean. A representative ice inhabitant, the amphipod Apherusa glacialis was previously assumed to spend its entire life in the sea ice habitat, hence being dependent on sea ice to complete ...

Objectives: To assess the association between gentamicin exposure and subclinical signs of nephrotoxicity in school children who were exposed to a high-dose gentamicin regimen in the neonatal period.<p> <p>Methods: Children receiving three or more doses (6 mg/kg) of gentamicin as neonates were invited to a follow-up in school age. We evaluated potential signs of subclinical nephrotoxicity with ...

The levels of sickness absenteeism in Norway are extraordinarily high. One of three employees reports that work is partly or fully the reason why they are absent. Regardless of a clear and explicit political goal to reduce sickness absence, previous reforms in Norway have not had much success. In this dissertation, we collected self-report data from thousands of jobholders and performed cross-sectional ...

This study examined whether the diversity, composition and functional capacity of the saliva microbiota differed between children with low and high sedentary screen times. We analyzed the saliva microbiota using 16S rRNA (V3–V4) sequencing from 193 children with low and 183 children with high TV/screen viewing times while sitting. Microbiota diversity was higher among children with low screen ...

Data collection is essential to the great majority of research projects in linguistics, but sadly many fail to seek advice on what to do with the data when the project ends. This might lead to poor structuring or failure to safely store the data, which in the worst case ends up with valuable data being forgotten about, not reusable, or lost. In this chapter, I discuss how linguists can proceed in ...

Background Rectal endoscopic full- thickness dissection (EFTD) using a fexible colonoscope is an alternative to the wellestablished trans-anal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and the trans-anal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) techniques for resecting dysplastic or malignant rectal lesions. This study evaluated EFTD safety by analyzing outcomes of the frst patients to undergo rectal EFTD at the ...

Background: Upon environmental stimuli, ribosomes are surmised to undergo com‑ positional rearrangements due to abundance changes among proteins assembled into the complex, leading to modulated structural and functional characteristics. Here, we present the ComplexOme-Structural Network Interpreter (COSNeti), a computational method to allow testing whether ribosomal proteins (rProteins) that exhibit ...

Numerous studies have argued that bilingualism has effects on cognitive functions. Recently, in light of increasingly mixed empirical results, this claim has been challenged. One might ponder if there is enough evidence to justify a cessation to future research on the topic or, alternatively, how the field could proceed to better understand the phantom-like appearance of bilingual effects. Herein, ...
