Novel biomarkers in hypertension
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-04-11)<p><i>Introduction</i> Hypertension and kidney damage are reciprocally related. Current blood and urine tests cannot reliably detect early kidney damage from hypertension, hindering timely prevention. A biomarker that captures kidney damage due to hypertension at an early stage might improve risk stratification and treatment. The primary objective of this project was to investigate how biomarkers ... -
Er en-avlednings elektrokardiografi assosiert med hjerteinfarkt hos yngre og middelaldrende kvinner og menn? En prospektiv kohortstudie, Tromsøundersøkelsen 1986/87.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-03-02)Sammendrag Introduksjon Bakgrunnen for oppgaven er at det finnes lite forskning på assosiasjon av hjerteinfarkt ved elektrokardiografi hos kvinner. Formålet er derfor å studere sammenhengen mellom EKG avledning I og hjerteinfarkt hos hjertefriske yngre og middelaldrende kvinner og menn. Material og metode Datamaterialet til denne prospektive kohortstudien er hentet fra den tredje Tromsøundersøkelsen ... -

Deep Learning Based Automatic Segmentation of Gas Flares in Single Beam Echo Sounder Data
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-01-18)This thesis introduces the first study of instance segmentation applied to gas flares in single beam echo sounder data. We develop a comprehensive dataset consisting of 1,414 images, featuring 5,142 segmented objects identified as gas flare. A key contribution is the adaptation of the Brier score specifically for instance segmentation. Further, we show how to adapt the Weighted Box Fusion (WBF) ... -

The ECRML and its explanatory report are analyzed as well as the latest ... -
Biocultural Storytelling Pedagogy in Indigenous Nagaland: The Relational Worlds of Easterine Kire’s Novels
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-11-01)In the quest for glocal solutions to glocal ecological breakdown, in which sustainability and biodiversity conservation have become powerful concepts at an international level, the causes of the ecological crises must be understood by their socio-economic ontological roots. Today, international fora increasingly recognise the contribution of Indigenous Peoples in safeguarding biodiversity, and attempt ... -
Embracing prospects for reducing the numbers of animals used in aquaculture research
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-29)The principles of three Rs-REPLACEMENT, REDUCTION, and REFINEMENT-govern the protection and use of animals, including fish, for research purposes in the European Union and Norway. In this paper, we discuss some straightforward steps to simplify the delivery of these principles at the idea stage and adapt some of these examples for conducting fish trials related to health and welfare. Although some ... -

Ulike veger fra nordsamisk til lulesamisk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-28)The present article evaluates different approaches to the construc-tion of a North Saami-Lule Saami dictionary. The pivot method (via Norwegian) gives rise both to a low coverage and to a massive overgeneration and requires other methods in order to distinguish between good and bad candidate pairs. We show that it is possible to distinguish reliably between good and bad pairs ... -
Mental simulation of the factual and the illusory in negation processing: evidence from anticipatory eye movements on a blank screen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-03)How do comprehenders process negative statements such as The fish is not jumping out of the water? Opinions vary. Some argue for two steps, namely that processing starts off with the representation of the positive/illusory [fish jumping out of the water] and then shifts to the (f)actual. To test this idea, we measured fixations on the factual (fish not jumping) versus the illusory (fish jumping) ... -
Depositional environments and source rock potential of some Upper Palaeozoic (Devonian) coals on Bjørnøya, Western Barents shelf
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-27)Upper Palaeozoic strata are potential sources for hydrocarbon plays on the Norwegian Barents Shelf. The island of Bjørnøya (Bear Island) is located on the western margin of the Barents Shelf and represents an exposed part of the Stappen High, which makes it an excellent location to investigate the source rock potential of this succession. Here, we investigate the organic geochemical composition and ... -
Protracted post-glacial hydrocarbon seepage in the Barents Sea revealed by U–Th dating of seep carbonates
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-01)The hydrocarbon seepage chronology during deglaciation across the formerly glaciated Barents Sea was established using uranium-thorium (U–Th) dating of seep carbonates. Seep carbonates were sampled with remotely operated vehicles (ROV) from the seafloor at three active hydrocarbon seeps (water depth 156–383 m), located in the north-west (Storfjordrenna), north-central (Storbanken High), and south-west ... -
Decomposable (5, 6)-solutions in eleven-dimensional supergravity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-08)We present decomposable (5, 6)-solutions M<sup>1,4</sup>×M<sup>6</sup> in eleven-dimensional supergravity by solving the bosonic supergravity equations for a variety of non-trivial flux forms. Many of the bosonic backgrounds presented here are induced by various types of null flux forms on products of certain totally Ricci-isotropic Lorentzian Walker manifolds and Ricci-flat Riemannian manifolds. ... -
Factors that moderate global similarity in initial L<inf>3</inf> transfer. Intervocalic voiced stops in heritage Spanish/English bilinguals’ L<inf>3</inf> Italian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-11)Much of the formal linguistic research on third language (L3) acquisition has focused on transfer source selection, with the overall finding that (global) structural similarity between the L1/L2 and L3 is the strongest predictor of initial transfer patterns. Recently, Cabrelli and Pichan (2021) reported data from the production of underlyingly intervocalic voiced stops in L3 Brazilian Portuguese ... -
Lexical and morphosyntactic variation in Persian heritage language outcomes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-10)Individual variation in heritage language (HL) outcomes does not seem to be random. Instead, this variation can be related to the specific exposure and use patterns heritage speakers (HSs) have with their languages in the contexts they reside. In this study, we present data from 38 child HSs of Persian in English dominant contexts (in New Zealand and the UK), their mothers as well as a control group ... -

(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-03-22)This dissertation focuses on The Morung Express, a newspaper in Nagaland State, India, established by human rights activists in 2005. With a strong interest in indigenous issues, the newspaper presents itself as an alternative to mainstream media in India and claims to be guided by the historical experiences of the Naga people. This study examines a particular period in the newspaper’s life (2020-2023) ... -
Mining various genomic resources to resolve old alpha-taxonomy questions: A test of the species hypothesis of the Proteocephalus longicollis species complex (Cestoda: Platyhelminthes) from salmonid fishes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-24)High-throughput sequencing strategies became commonly employed to study non-model parasites, but the corresponding genomes and transcriptomes were seldom mined following the original publication. Similar to the data generated with genome skimming techniques based on shallow-depth shotgun gen omes, various genomic and transcriptomic resources can be screened for useful molecular phylogenetic markers ... -
Russia in Outer Space: A Shrinking Space Power in the Era of Global Change
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-03)Since 2014, the Russian space sector has handled institutional rearrangement and external economic pressure. On the one hand, the establishment of the State Space Corporation Roscosmos intended to renovate a critical segment and save an industry that is one of the jewels of the Soviet legacy. On the other hand, the Russian annexation of Crimea triggered waves of financial and economic sanctions that ...
