Bakgrunn: Personer med cerebral parese (CP) er en stor heterogen pasientgruppe for barne- og ungdomsfysioterapeuter. Mange av personene med CP trenger livslang trening for å opprettholde funksjonen og for å forebygge sekundære muskel- og skjelettplager. Fysioterapeuter tilbyr ulike typer behandling, og det handler om å tilpasse et opplegg til den enkelte pasienten. Gruppebehandling er en behandlingsform ...

This study investigated if ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) had an effect on the formation of groups of rats in a semi-natural setting that allowed the rats to live closer to their natural state in the wild. This was done by letting four groups of rats into a semi-natural environment. Where prior to release into the environment, all the rats received surgery. Where some of the rats had the nerve to ...

I Tromsø fikk man aldri innført den strenge kontrollen over prostitusjon som ble satt i verk i flere større norske byer mot slutten av 1800-tallet. Uttrykket «den lovbeskyttede prostitution» stammer fra debatten som knyttet seg til dette og ble brukt av enkelte som ønsket strengere tiltak mot den omstridte sexhandelen. Begrepet retter ikke bare en pekefinger mot samtidens lovgivning, men beskriver ...

Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved degradative pathway, where damaged or surplus cytosolic components are sequestered into double membrane vesicles, autophagosomes, which become degraded through the lysosomal system. The autophagy is a dynamic process, which is depended of transport of autophagosomes along microtubule, to become degraded by lysosomes. One of the proteins involved in this transport ...

The University of Tromsø has carried out multiple studies by master students on unstable rock slopes (URS) in Troms County, Northern Norway. This thesis differs from other studies in Troms as Skredkallen is located in Pre-Cambrian rocks as part of West Troms Basement Complex (WTBC). The rocks of the WTBC have been subjected to multiple phases of deformation, and the main structural features from ...

Fluctuations in plasma electron density may play a role in solar coronal energy transport and the dissipation of wave energy. Transcoronal spacecraft radio sounding observations reveal frequency fluctuations (FFs) that encode the electron number density disturbances, allowing an exploration of the coronal compressive wave and advected inhomogeneity models. Primary FF observations from MESSENGER 2009 ...

Henning Andersen (2012) points out that the Russian “new Vocative” (e.g., мам! ‘mama!’, Саш! ‘Sasha!’) presents a series of unusual behaviors that set it apart from ordinary case marking. Andersen argues that the Vocative should not be considered a declensional word form of nouns. The Russian Vocative is certainly an uncommon linguistic category, but does this entail setting up a new transcategorial ...

The primary aim of this study is to summarise research findings about the use of assessment frameworks, that is, structured models that guide information collection and decision making in child protection services, by reviewing the literature. The research review method consisted of identification, selection, coding, categorisation and summary of publications on child protection investigative work. ...

BAKGRUNN: Naltrekson er en ikke-selektiv opioidantagonist som tradisjonelt brukes til å behandle opioid- og alkoholavhengighet. Lavdose naltrekson (LDN), 3-5 mg/dag, har senere blitt brukt som «off-label» tilleggsbehandling i flere autoimmune sykdommer, inkludert kronisk inflammatorisk tarmsykdom (IBD). FORMÅL: Formålet med denne studien er å undersøke om det er en assosiasjon mellom bruk av LDN og ...

Soluplus is a suitable excipient for innovative manufacturing techniques such as hot-melt extrusion (HME). While Soluplus is useful for forming amorphous solid dispersions (ASD’s) during HME, the resulting extrudates are often stiff and brittle. In order to achieve suitable dosage forms, with optimal downstream processability, an efficient screening for suitable formulations is required. Vacuum ...
