The environmental risk assessment of the herbicide tolerant genetically modified oilseed rape MON 88302 (Reference EFSA/GMO/BE/2011/101) has been performed by the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (VKM). VKM has been requested by the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority to issue a preliminary ...

I dagens helse-Norge er samarbeid mellom ulike etater og samarbeid på tvers av tjenestenivåer blitt stadig viktigere. Samtidig er samarbeid blitt mer krevende i en helsetjeneste som er mer fragmentert og hvor ressursene ofte ikke holder tritt med kravene som stilles. Når det gjelder psykiske helsetjenester til de minste barna, er samarbeid mellom etater ikke minst viktig, både i pasientbehandlingen ...

Live-streaming and particular live video-streaming are becoming increasingly popular as a multimedia-service. More and more types of content and events are live-streamed. Live video-streaming has shown to be a useful tool in the case of pandemic outbursts such as Covid-19. As people should use social distancing, live video-streaming can give people the ability to simulate conventional social ...

The Arctic has great significance in relation to the exploration and exploitation of its huge petroleum resources. Seismic surveys are the key part of petroleum exploration. Reflected sound waves are used to produce a 3D subsurface geological model, which helps to take a decision on drilling location for potential hydrocarbon resources. Seismic surveys are very complex operations, and growing energy ...

This dissertation examines the voice system of Amharic. I have studied the voice features including the anticausative and a pair of causative functional items focusing on their selection, interpretation and syntactic projection. The voice items display some interesting properties that made them worth an in­depth investigation. First, the single anticausative morpheme is associated with multiple ...

This inclusive research inspired study explored the experiences of people with learning disabilities working in a Norwegian sheltered employment company. The study aimed at developing knowledge on the working experiences of people with learning disabilities and the impact of their participation in the study. We employed focus groups, supplemented by informal discussions to generate data for the ...

The aim was to assess perceived stress (PS) and factors associated with PS in Russian medical and dental students. A total of 406 medical and 283 dental students aged 18–25 years that attended the Northern State Medical University in Arkhangelsk, North-West Russia participated in this cross-sectional study. A structured, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information on socio-demographic ...

Multi-photon absorption properties, particularly two-photon absorption (2PA), of fluorescent proteins (FPs) have made them attractive tools in deep-tissue clinical imaging. Although the diversity of photophysical properties for FPs is wide, there are some caveats predominant among the existing FP variants that need to be overcome, such as low quantum yields and small 2PA cross-sections. From a ...

<i>Introduction</i>: Esophagitis influences quality of life and might cause treatment interruption and hospitalization. Previous studies of risk factors focused on curative treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which often involves concomitant chemoradiation (CRT). Given the uncertainty around extrapolation of dose constraints, we analyzed risk factors in patients treated with hypofractionated ...

The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (VKM) has been asked by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority to perform a health risk assessment on decomposition substances and oxidation products in fish oils intended for human consumption except pharmaceuticals. Seal and/or krill oil intended for human consumption might be included but in separate chapters. EU’s hygiene regulations for the ...
