Å være ektefelle og omsorgsgiver når hjerneslag rammer - mellom avmakt og mestring.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-13)Studien belyser tre kvinners opplevelser av at deres selvstendige ektefeller får slag og blir sterkt pleietrengende, samt hvordan de opplever samhandlingen med helse- og omsorgstjenesten. Det er benyttet en hermeneutisk- fenomenologisk tilnærming og semistrukturerte kvalitative intervju. Funnene viser at kvinnene opplever utmattelse, usikkerhet og hjelpeløshet i sin egen rolle som ektefelle, mor og ... -
Reduced immune responsiveness contributes to winter energy conservation in an Arctic bird
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-27)Animals in seasonal environments must prudently manage energy expenditure to survive the winter. This may be achieved through reductions in the allocation of energy for various purposes (e.g. thermoregulation, locomotion, etc.). We studied whether such trade-offs also include suppression of the innate immune response, by subjecting captive male Svalbard ptarmigan (<i>Lagopus muta hyperborea</i>) to ... -

"Om bergvisjoner og diktning hos Ibsen"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-02)This article examines some connections between rock and mountain visions and poetry in Henrik Ibsen’s writings. The article argues that the poem «Paa Vidderne» and also the poem «Bergmanden» thematizes the poetic call, where the starting point of the poetry is analogous to ascending a mountain or penetrating into a dark rock room below the ground. Also in several of Ibsenʼs dramas (Keiser og galiæer, ... -
Autoimmunity and SLE: Factual and Semantic Evidence-Based Critical Analyses of Definitions, Etiology, and Pathogenesis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-06)One cannot discuss anti-dsDNA antibodies and lupus nephritis without discussing the nature of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is insistently described as a prototype autoimmune syndrome, with anti-dsDNA antibodies as a central biomarker and a pathogenic factor. The two entities, “SLE” and “The Anti-dsDNA Antibody,” have been linked in previous and contemporary studies although serious criticism ... -

Effect of adiposity on differences in carotid plaque burden in studies conducted in Norway and Russia: a cross-sectional analysis of two populations at very different risk of cardiovascular mortality
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-06)<i>Objectives</i> - Large differences exist in the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) between Russia and Western European countries including Norway. Obesity prevalence may contribute to the differences. We investigated whether difference in the level of adiposity, assessed using body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio(WHR), could explain intercountry differences in the burden of carotid plaque, ... -
Time trends in smoking in Russia in the light of recent tobacco control measures: synthesis of evidence from multiple sources
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-23)<i>Background</i> - The study aims at identifying long-term trends and patterns of current smoking by age, gender, and education in Russia, including the most recent period from 2008 during which tobacco control policies were implemented, and to estimate the impact on mortality of any reductions in prevalence. We present an in-depth analysis based on an unprecedentedly large array of survey ... -
Compositional differences in dissolved organic matter between Arctic cold seeps versus non-seep sites at the Svalbard continental margin and the Barents sea
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-07)Dissociating gas hydrates, submerged permafrost, and gas bearing sediments release methane to the water column from a multitude of seeps in the Arctic Ocean. The seeping methane dissolves and supports the growth of aerobic methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB), but the effect of seepage and seep related biogeochemical processes on water column dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics is not well ... -
The neglected season: Warmer autumns counteract harsher winters and promote population growth in Arctic reindeer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-24)Arctic ungulates are experiencing the most rapid climate warming on Earth. While concerns have been raised that more frequent icing events may cause die‐offs, and earlier springs may generate a trophic mismatch in phenology, the effects of warming autumns have been largely neglected. We used 25 years of individual‐based data from a growing population of wild Svalbard reindeer, to test how warmer ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-10-31)Denne undersøkelsen studerer tanker om gehør og gehørarbeid hos profesjonelle instrumentalister, gehørarbeid de gjør med sine elever og hvilke sammenhenger som kan finnes mellom disse funnene. Problemstillingen det arbeides ut fra er: Hvilke sammenhenger kan man finne mellom instrumentallæreres egen bruk av gehør og gehørarbeid de gjør med sine elever? Undersøkelsen tar utgangspunkt i kvalitative ... -
Kunsthistoriens politikk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-10-16)Det er velkjent hvordan etableringen av Finnefondet, språk og skolepolitikk, samt salg og tildeling av jord for å fremme norsktalende bosetting i grenseområdene i nord utover på 1800- og 1900-tallet kan ses som deler av en strategisk fornorskingspolitikk.[1] At kunst- og kulturfeltene kan ha bidratt til å fremme ensretting av samfunn og medborgerskap – endog til fornorskning – synes å være mindre ... -

New Russian Legislative Approaches and Navigational Rights within the Northern Sea Route
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021-12-13)<p>The regulation of foreign navigation in the Northern Sea Route (NSR) has been dominated by the rules of international law applicable to merchant ships only. Neither the domestic set of rules of navigation on the NSR, based on Article 234 of UNCLOS nor the Polar Code applies to State-owned vessels. While the application of Article 234 has so far let Russia evade discussion on the navigational ... -
Unraveling nanoscale alterations in liver cell fenestrations - Morphological studies via optical super-resolution microscopy approaches
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-01-22)The endothelium makes up the innermost cell layer of blood vessels. It consists of a thin layer of simple squamous cells, forming an interface between circulating blood and the surrounding tissue. Endothelial cells of different vascular beds are specialized according to tissue-specific functions. For this project emphasis was placed upon high-resolution methods enabling the study of liver sinusoidal ... -
Bacterial Extracellular vesicles and their cargo
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-02-05)<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> are opportunistic pathogens that may cause diseases ranging from minor skin infection to severe blood stream infections. The emergence of methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococcal strains severely limits treatment options. Bacteria release extracellular vesicles (EVs), defined as ... -
Human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a alloimmunization - Why only blame it on the platelets?
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-01-15)Antibodies against human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a are the most common cause of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in Caucasians, and is a break of the tolerance normally seen for the fetus in pregnant women. The initiation of immunization is suggested to be feto-maternal transfer of platelets during pregnancy and at delivery, and one of the consequences of anti-HPA-1a antibodies ... -
Size-dependent escape risk of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) from salmonid farm nets
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-13)In the last decade, the salmon aquaculture industry has considerably increased the use of lumpfish juveniles as cleaner fish. Potential escape of reared lumpfish into the wild may spread diseases or genetically contaminate wild stocks. The guidelines for minimum sizes of cleaner fish to use in aquaculture cages are currently based on simple mesh penetration tests. However, these guidelines do not ...
