CO₂ emissions due to massive industrialization have led to several environmental issues. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one of the most important technologies that can be used to reduce anthropogenic CO₂ emissions worldwide. CCS projects mainly involve three processes: carbon capture, transportation, and storage. In the transportation process, the modeling of the flow in ...

The objective of this conceptual study is to reveal the substantial potential and synergy of solar energy and electric vehicles (EVs) working together. This potential is demonstrated by studying the feasibility of a nationwide energy system solely reliant on solar energy and EVs. Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy is already an important energy source globally, but due to its intermittency it requires ...

Ras GTPase-activating protein-binding proteins 1 and 2 (G3BP1 and G3BP2, respectively) are widely recognized as core components of stress granules (SGs). We report that G3BPs reside at the cytoplasmic surface of lysosomes. They act in a non-redundant manner to anchor the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) protein complex to lysosomes and suppress activation of the metabolic master regulator mechanistic ...

Året 2020 har vært et år med drastiske endringer i undervisningform med en hurtig overgang til digital undervisning grunnet koronapandemien. Denne studien undersøker studentenes motivasjon, læringsutbytte, deltagelse og tidsbruk ved et introduksjonsemne i fysikk, der undervisningen ble lagt om til digital undervisning med Peer Instruction. Studentens motivasjon ble karakterisert med motivasjonskonstruktene ...

In this work we present a new Norwegian labeled dataset of 7078 comments for unhealthy comment detection. The dataset is used to fine-tune a BERT model, and demonstrates that BERT has the ability to detect subtle forms of toxicity, also in Norwegian. We compare how the different newly released Norwegian BERT models perform when fine-tuned on our dataset, and we also experiment with how English data ...

Objective - Standardised cancer patient pathways (CPP) are implemented within cancer care with an aim to ensure standardised waiting times for diagnosis and treatment. This article investigates how patients in Norway experience waiting times within a CPP.<p> <p>Methods - Qualitative semi-structured interviews with 19 patients who had been through CPP for breast cancer, prostate cancer or malignant ...

Introduction - The Norwegian Board of Health Supervision inspects healthcare institutions to ensure safety and quality of health and welfare services. A planned inspection of 12 maternity units aimed to investigate the practice of obstetric care in the case of birth asphyxia, shoulder dystocia and severe postpartum hemorrhage.<p> <p>Material and methods - The inspection was carried out at two ...

Disruptions in attention, salience and increased distractibility are implicated in multiple psychiatric conditions. The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a potential site for converging information about external stimuli and internal states to be integrated and guide adaptive behaviours. Given the dual role of dopamine signals in both driving ongoing behaviours (e.g., feeding) and monitoring salient ...

The present study investigated the position-specific match demands and heart rate response of female elite footballers, with special focus on the full-game, end-game, and peak-intensity periods. In total, 217 match observations were performed in 94 players from all eight teams of the best Danish Women's League, that is, goalkeepers (GK, n = 10), central defenders (CD, n = 23), full-backs (FB, n = ...

Biomonitoring studies are helpful tools and can increase our knowledge on time trends in human blood concentrations of PFASs: how they relate to emission trends and the potential prenatal exposure for future generations. In this study, serum was sampled in cross-sections of men and women who were 30 years old in each of the years 1986, 1994, 2001, and 2007 in Northern Norway and analyzed for 23 ...
