This study aimed to examine the health effects of fitness training and team-sport training in a pragmatic community health centre set-up for women with lifestyle diseases. The methods included training intensity evaluations and measurements of VO₂max, blood pressure, body composition and exercise performance. In all, 40 women in the fitness training group (FG) and 34 women in the team-sport ...

Korrekt diagnostikk av ulike hodepinetyper kan være utfordrende, men det er den viktigste forutsetningen for optimal behandling. Det anbefales kontrollert bruk av anfallsmedisin og forebyggende tiltak.<p> <p>Hodepinesykdommer er ifølge sykdomsbyrdeprosjektet Global Burden of Disease blant de vanligste årsakene til funksjonsnedsettelse (1). Lidelsene påvirker i stor grad samfunnet, personene som ...

China's carbon-embedded growth trajectory is gradually becoming a burden to environmental sustainability, hence, requires much attention. The complexity of human capital attributed emissions coupled with fossil fuel inclined energy utilization for industrialization underscores the failure of China to meet its mitigation target. We developed a policy-driven conceptual tool based on disaggregate energy ...

Claims for indigenous rights to land and resources are influencing land use policies worldwide. The public’s support for such land tenure arrangements has rarely been investigated. We present a unique case from the Norwegian Arctic, where land claims made by the indigenous Sami people have resulted in the transfer of land tenure and resource management from the government to the residents of Finnmark ...

This paper presents a numerical prediction on the assessment of natural ventilation on a livestock house built in porous panels, aided by Computational Fluid Dynamics techniques. A typical climatic environment in Cold Regions was taken into consideration. The ventilation performances have been assessed by the distribution of indoor air velocity, turbulence intensity and local mean age of air through ...

Graph convolutional neural networks have recently shown great potential for the task of zero-shot learning. These models are highly sample efficient as related concepts in the graph structure share statistical strength allowing generalization to new classes when faced with a lack of data. However, multi-layer architectures, which are required to propagate knowledge to distant nodes in the graph, ...

<i>Objectives</i> - Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) enhances short-term psychological health in clinical and non-clinical samples, whereas studies examining long-term effects are scarce. This study examined whether the effects of a 7-week MBSR programme on mental health persisted at 2- and 4-year follow-up and explored possible mechanisms of effect.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - In a two-site ...

Forsvarets studiesenter (FS) ble etablert som "Studiesenteret i Heggelia" i 1989 i et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom tre kommuner i Midt-Troms og Troms Landforsvar. Senere ble det en permanent forsvarsinstitusjon med vekslende organisatorisk tilhørighet. I dette prosjektet belyses og analyseres hva interessentene mener om studiesentrets rolle som voksenlæringsarena atten år senere. Problemformuleringen ...

In French, the close vowels [i, y, u] are subject to alternation with the glides [j, ɥ, w] in given contexts, e.g. [myɛt] ∼ [mɥɛt] ‘muteFEM’ and [sye] ∼ [sɥe] ‘sweatINF’. Factors that have proven decisive for the selection of a variant are e.g. the inherent sonority of the vowel, its position in the word, and its left segmental context (see e.g. Côté, 2018; Klein, 1991; Lyche, 1979). Also, the ...

Who read what in the late nineteenth century Swedish society? What books were available in the bookshops and the libraries, and what books were the most popular? This study aims to offer preliminary answers to questions like these, based on sales’ and borrowers’ ledgers from three of the most common types of literary institutions of the time; a parish library, a bookshop, and a commercial lending ...
