<i>Background</i>: Rapid and precise dispatch of resources is a key element in pre‐hospital emergency medicine. Emergency medical communication centres (EMCCs) dispatch resources based on protocols and guidelines, balancing the acute need of the individual and the resource allocation of the pre‐hospital emergency medical system. The aim of this study was to determine the validity of stroke ...

Goals are central to theories of happiness and previous research has shown that successful goal pursuit typically leads to a boost in wellbeing. Taking these ideas further, the current study adopts the distinction between hedonic wellbeing (HWB) and eudaimonic wellbeing (EWB) and suggests that it is the former that increases when goals are achieved. By contrast, EWB is hypothesized to have a causal ...

<p>During the late nineteenth century two neighbouring peasants, Anders Nilsson and Johannes Persson, lived in the small village of Kroppåkra in southern Sweden. They were both landowning peasants, both were married men and had several children. What is more, they were both members of the local parochial library. The library was established in 1859 on a local initiative, and was jointly owned by the ...

Although separate titles in their own right, these two books, The Swedish Hymnbook and a collection of Biblical passages for all Sundays and Holy Days, are seen so often together that they can rightfully be called the yin and yang of the early modern Swedish book market. Bestsellers in their time, with new editions coming every other year, they were a must-have for both wealthy and poor. This blog ...

<p>Hvordan bidrar etnografisk film til antropologisk forståelse? Hva er likheter og forskjeller i perspektiver og metoder i etnografiske filmopptak og en mer konvensjonell antropologi? Film og tekst er to ulike representasjonsformer med ulike styrker og svakheter. Jeg vil her argumentere for at det i møtet mellom den i utgangspunktet tekstbaserte situasjonsanalysen, slik den formuleres av Manchesterskolen, ...

The present work reports on new mineralogical and whole-rock geochemical data from the Breivikbotn silicocarbonatite (Seiland igneous province, North Norway), allowing conclusions to be drawn concerning its origin and the role of late fluid alteration. The rock shows a rare mineral association: calcite + pyroxene + amphibole + zeolite group minerals + garnet + titanite, with apatite, allanite, ...

This essay discusses waiting as a method in research and teaching. Appropriate waiting can often lead to better and even quicker understanding of people and questions. How to wait fruitfully is contextual knowledge. Respectful waiting is an ethical issue. Fieldworkers can learn proper waiting from their hosts. Good teachers and supervisors practice waiting and encourage patience.

Using the state-of-the-art high resolution P-Cable 3D seismic system, in this thesis we (1) study the shallow strata (<1km below seabed) and describe the geological controls and driving mechanisms for fluid leakage at two sites in the northern Barents Sea, and (2) introduce a new time-lapse seismic method for high-frequency (~30-350 Hz) P-Cable seismic data. The study areas are interesting as ...

Microorganisms play an essential role in the performance of constructed wetlands (CWs) for wastewater treatment. However, there has been limited discussion on the characteristics of microbial communities in CWs for treatment of effluents from marine recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). This study is aimed at characterizing the microbial communities of pilot-scale CWs with <i>Salicornia bigelovii</i> ...

This investigation assessed the impact of hearing loss and lateralized auditory attention on spatiotemporal parameters of gait during overground dual-tasking by the use of the dichotic listening task. Seventy-eight right-handed, healthy older adults between 60 and 88 years were assigned to a Young-Old (<70 years) or an Old-Old (>71 years) group. Cognitive assessment and pure tone audiometry were ...
