<i>Introduction</i>: Cardiovascular dysfunction is a potentially lethal complication of hypothermia. Due to a knowledge gap, pharmacological interventions are not recommended at core temperatures below 30°C. Yet, further cooling is induced in surgical procedures and survival of accidental hypothermia is reported after rewarming from below 15°C, advocating a need for evidence-based treatment guidelines. ...

In this thesis I carry out three investigations using cognitive linguistic methods, corpus data and statistical methods. First, I explore the meaning and use of že and ved‘ and how they are translated to English using parallel corpus data. I propose a radial category for both že and ved‘ and ...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women today, and although many risk factors are known, these cannot fully explain the vast increase in breast cancer incidences the last decades. Persistent organic pollutants have been indicated as potential carcinogenic compounds and it is therefore interesting to see if they can be a factor in the development of the disease. Here, we assessed the ...

Open sea cage Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) farming is currently facing major challenges related to sea lice infestations, sea lice treatment, fish mortality, infectious diseases and fish escapees. Semi-closed containment systems may have the potential to resolve these challenges, by separating the rearing unit from the external environment. UV disinfection is suggested as a possible water treatment ...

Arctic navigation has become operational in recent decades with the decline in summer sea ice. To assess the navigability of trans-Arctic passages, combined model and satellite sea ice thickness (CMST) data covering both freezing seasons and melting seasons are integrated with the Arctic Transportation Accessibility Model (ATAM). The trans-Arctic navigation window and transit time are thereby obtained ...

Abstract - This study aimed to explore the influences of an interprofessional preceptor-team intervention (IPPT) on interprofessional collaboration, preceptors' role, confidence, and motivation to precept health care students (nursing, physiotherapy) and apprentices in a Norwegian nursing home.<p> Methods - Qualitative data were collected by two focus group discussions: possible gains and pitfalls ...

Utviklingen i den norske oppdrettsnæringen har vært forrykende, men de siste årene stagnert. Dette skyldes blant annet problemer med parasitten Lepeophtheirus salmonis, lakselus. En rekke forebyggende og bekjempende metoder er tatt i bruk av næringen og i denne studien undersøkes det forebyggende luseskjørtet. Skjørtet fungerer som en presenning og strekkes rundt de øverste delene av merdene, i denne ...
