Aims - The 2021 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guideline on cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention categorizes moderate and severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) as high and very-high CVD risk status regardless of other factors like age and does not include estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria in its algorithms, systemic coronary risk estimation 2 (SCORE2) and systemic ...

I artikkelen diskuteres vanskeligheten i og viktigheten av å kunne lese korte litterære tekster, i dette tilfellet fire haikudikt fra den siste diktsamlingen Tomas Tranströmer utga, Den stora gåtan (2004). Vanskeligheten tvinger – og lærer – undervisere og studenter å lese tekster med tilsynelatende lav informasjonsgrad, mens viktigheten består i at dette korte formatet kan lære oss å stille spørsmål ...

Polysemy is defined as a multiplicity of related meanings connected by a single linguistic form. Polysemy can be understood in relation to both homonymy and contextual variation. Homonymy presents unrelated inventories of meanings connected by a given form, while contextual variation describes meanings that can be attributed to the effects of context. Polysemy borders on both homonymy and contextual ...

Control interventions (often called “sham,” “placebo,” or “attention controls”) are essential for studying the efficacy or mechanism of physical, psychological, and self-management interventions in clinical trials. This article presents core recommendations for designing, conducting, and reporting control interventions to establish a quality standard in non-pharmacological intervention research. A ...

Samene har i lang tid bebodd og hatt tilknytning til det karrige arktiske landskapet. Kan disse erfaringene være et bidrag i bærekraftig utvikling og det grønne skiftet? I dette kapitlet tar vi utgangspunkt i det tradisjonelle samiske begrepet «birget» som kan oversettes til det «å klare seg selv». Birget handler om å livberge seg med det naturen byr på. Ikke nytte mer enn man trenger, og å klare ...

Siden 2006 har kunnskap om urfolk inngått som en del av engelskfaget i norsk skole. Særlig litteratur, film og andre kulturelle uttrykk om urfolk fra Nord-Amerika, Australia og New Zealand har fått prege engelskundervisningen, lærebøker og eksamenssett. Med en revidert læreplan, nå også med fokus på samisk kultur, er tida moden for å utvide og variere utvalget av tekster, reflektere over selve ...

This chapter reports on a corpus-based reappraisal of the two main hypotheses about the development of (content-related) illocutionary adverbs from lexically related narrow-scope readings: The reanalysis hypothesis, which relies on contexts in which the adverb is ambiguous between a narrow-scope and an illocutionary reading (bridging contexts), and the ellipsis analysis, which relies on structural ...

<p>Extremophiles, especially those living in high-temperature environments, exhibit unique enzymatic mechanisms that allow survival under conditions detrimental to most life forms. Of particular interest is thermophiles, which are able to thrive at temperatures at which psychrophiles and mesophiles unfold and cease to function. The mechanisms by which these enzymes are able to overcome this temperature ...

This study examined the acquisition of numeral classifiers in 120 monolingual Japanese children. Previous research has argued that the complex semantic system underlying classifiers is late acquired. Thus, we set out to determine the age at which Japanese children are able to extend the semantic properties of classifiers to novel items/situations. Participants completed a comprehension task with ...

Herein, we report the synthesis of a rare bis-silylene, 1, in which two Si^IIatoms are bridged by a Si^IV atom. Compound 1 contains an unusual Si^II SiI^V Si^II bonding arrangement with Si^II Si^IV bond distances of 2.4212(8) and 2.4157(7) Å. Treatment of 1 with Fe(CO)₅ afforded a dinuclear Fe⁰S complex 2 ...
