Environmental Conditions Modulate Warming Effects on Plant Litter Decomposition Globally
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-31)Empirical studies worldwide show that warming has variable effects on plant litter decomposition, leaving the overall impact of climate change on decomposition uncertain. We conducted a meta-analysis of 109 experimental warming studies across seven continents, using natural and standardised plant material, to assess the overarching effect of warming on litter decomposition and identify potential ... -
Local-Scale Advanced Ship Predictor towards Enhanced Maritime Situation Awareness
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-02-18)With the introduction of autonomous and remotely-controlled ships, close vessel encounter can be associated with higher risk of collision or near-miss scenarios. To avoid these possible incidents, a higher level of situation awareness is required to support the respective decision-making process in maritime navigation. Advanced Ship Predictors (ASPs) are thus proposed to be a solution framework to ... -

Using Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) to relate local concerns over growth in tourism and aquaculture to integrated coastal zone management in the Tromsø region, Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-21)Blue growth has been promoted as a strategy for generating jobs and welfare in Europe. Aquaculture and coastal tourism, which both fall under EU's blue growth strategy, have expanded in the last two decades raising environmental concerns and conflicts with traditional uses in coastal communities. In Norway, inter-municipal coastal zone planning aims to balance the different interests and concerns ... -

Divided Arctic in a Divided World Order
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025)Arctic order historically, currently, and in the future, reflects world order. The idea of “Arctic exceptionalism” is not valid and is a poor guide for policy. During Cold War bipolarity, the Arctic was divided between the Soviet Arctic and the Nordic and North American Arctic. US victory and Soviet defeat in the Cold War led to US unipolarity and hegemony which was the basis for a circumpolar ... -
Devonian–Mississippian magmatism related to extensional collapse in Svalbard: implications for radiating dyke swarms
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-12)Background - Despite extensive studies of the Mesozoic–Cenozoic magmatic history of Svalbard, little has been done on the Paleozoic magmatism due to fewer available outcrops.<p> <p>Methods - 2D seismic reflection data were used to study magmatic intrusions in the subsurface of eastern Svalbard. Results This work presents seismic evidence for west-dipping, Middle Devonian–Mississippian sills in ... -
An Arctic analogue for the future exploration of possible biosignatures on Enceladus
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-01-23)Methane-rich emissions to the seafloor along the Arctic mid-oceanic ridge hold strong astrobiological significance, as they may represent analogues of putative hydrothermal vent environments on Enceladus. Although such environments on Enceladus would be ideal to sample in future astrobiological missions, this may not be possible due to technological and logistical limitations. As such, searching for ... -
Optimizing recruitment in an online environmental PPGIS—is it worth the time and costs?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-01-22)Public participation GIS surveys use both random and volunteer sampling to recruit people to participate in a self-administered mapping exercise online. In random sampling designs, the participation rate is known to be relatively low and biased to specific segments (e.g. middle-aged, educated men). Volunteer sampling provides the opportunity to reach a large crowd at reasonable costs but generally ... -
Learning to play to learn in pediatric physical therapy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-06)Introduction: Play is a way for children to develop and learn about themselves in conjunction with the world. Using play as part of pediatric physical therapy is broadly recommended. This study investigates this integration of play and seeks to answer the research question: How do pediatric physical therapists (PPT) understand and manage embedding play in pediatric physical therapy with children ... -
Solenergi i Longyearbyen
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-02-01)Denne rapporten presenterer og drøfter implementering av større mengder solkraft i energisystemet i Longyearbyen. Solkraft er ikke det første man tenker på når man nevner Svalbard, men som absolutt viser seg å ha et potensial så langt nord. Mye på grunn av midnattssolen og kaldt klima. Det eksisterer allerede noen installasjoner av solkraft i og rundt Longyearbyen. Disse har blitt kartlagt og ... -

Female sex hormones and subtypes of breast cancer
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-02-20)Bakgrunn: Det er gode holdepunkter for at kvinnelige kjønnshormoner har en avgjørende rolle i utviklingen av brystkreft. Subtyper av brystkreft utgjør distinkte sykdomsentiteter og har ulik etiologi, risikofaktorer og prognoser. Disse subtypene er ofte klassifisert som luminal A-lignende, luminal B-lignende, HER2-positiv og trippel-negativ brystkreft (TNBC) basert på immunhistokjemisk undersøkelse. ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-25)Background - People with schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) show abnormalities in the biological stress system and low-grade inflammation. However, whether the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis-immune regulation is disrupted in SZ and BD, is yet to be determined.<p> <p>Methods - Cortisol and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in blood samples collected at or before 10 am in ... -
Non-Standard Errors
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-17)In statistics, samples are drawn from a population in a data‐generating process (DGP). Standard errors measure the uncertainty in estimates of population parameters. In science, evidence is generated to test hypotheses in an evidence‐generating process (EGP). We claim that EGP variation across researchers adds uncertainty—nonstandard errors (NSEs). We study NSEs by letting 164 teams test the same ... -
