One of the main purposes of The Act of 19 June 2009 No.100 Relating to the Management of Biological, Geological and Landscape Diversity is to protect landscape diversity. Consequently, protection of cultural heritage is also an integrated part of the management of Landscape Protection Areas. Via a case study of the Second World War Luftwaffe storage site at Gjøkåsen, which is part of Øvre Pasvik ...

<ol> <li>Climate change is commonly associated with many species redistributions and the influence of other factors may be marginalized, especially in the rapidly warming Arctic.</li> <li>The Barents Sea, a high latitude large marine ecosystem in the Northeast Atlantic has experienced above‐average temperatures since the mid‐2000s with divergent bottom temperature trends at subregional ...

Current projections suggest that climate warming will be accompanied by more frequent and severe drought events. Peatlands store ca. one third of the world’s soil organic carbon. Warming and drought may cause peatlands to become carbon sources through stimulation of microbial activity increasing ecosystem respiration, with positive feedback effect on global warming. Micro-eukaryotes play a key role ...

<i>Bakgrunn</i>: Universitetet i Tromsø, Norges arktiske universitet, i samarbeid med Universitetssykehuset Nord-Norge etablerte i 2011 kombinerte stillinger innen sykepleie. Hovedmålet med etableringen var å imøtekomme endringer i helsetjenesten, styrke samarbeidet mellom sykepleierutdanningen og sykehuset om studentenes kliniske praksisstudier og knytte ansatte i begge institusjonene tettere sammen ...

Chloroplast RNAs are stabilized and processed by a multitude of nuclear-encoded RNA-binding proteins, often in response to external stimuli like light and temperature. A particularly interesting RNA-based regulation occurs with the <i>psbA</i> mRNA, which shows light-dependent translation. Recently, the chloroplast ribonucleoprotein CP33B was identified as a ligand of the <i>psbA</i> mRNA. We here ...

<i>Background</i> - Genotypes associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) may protect against bleeding due to a hypercoagulable state. Whether the risk of major bleeding is reduced in parallel with an increasing number of prothrombotic genotypes during anticoagulant treatment in VTE remains unknown.<p> <p><i>Objectives</i> - To investigate the association between multiple prothrombotic genotypes ...

The degree to which exercises improve the collaboration among different organizations during an emergency is under debate. This study aims to contribute to the scarce research on this topic by giving insight into the perceived effects of exercises on collaboration, learning, usefulness and interorganizational trust. In particular, this quantitative study looked into the differences between the effects ...

High resolution microscopy is heavily dependent on superb optical elements and superresolution microscopy even more so. Correcting unavoidable optical aberrations during post-processing is an elegant method to reduce the optical system’s complexity. A prime method that promises superresolution, aberration correction, and quantitative phase imaging is Fourier ptychography. This microscopy technique ...

Denne studien undersøker hvilke muligheter og utfordringer som er knyttet til det rusforebyggende arbeidet i skolen. For å undersøke dette har studien et kvalitativt metodisk rammeverk, hvor det har blitt intervjuet 6 fagpersoner på rusfeltet. Problemstillingen og forskningsspørsmålene blir belyst gjennom George Herbert Meads teori om symbolsk interaksjonisme og Pierre Bourdieus teorier om kapital, ...

Ensuring sufficient iodine intake is a public health priority, but we lack knowledge about the status of iodine in a nationally representative population in Norway. We aimed to assess the current iodine status and intake in a Norwegian adult population. In the population-based Tromsø Study 2015–2016, 493 women and men aged 40–69 years collected 24-h urine samples and 450 participants also completed ...
