Background In Ethiopia, the utilization of sexual and reproductive health services (SRH) is alarmingly inadequate, leading to higher rates of maternal and newborn mortality. Disparities in accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services exist among different population groups, with construction worker women at a higher risk of experiencing such issues. We investigated the utilization of ...

Denne masteroppgaven undersøker hvordan norske fiskeres konkurransefortrinn påvirkes når de mister tilgang til viktige fiskefelt. Hensikten er å utforske hvordan internasjonale politiske endringer påvirker fiskerienes strategi og effekten av dette. Studien undersøker derfor endringer i lønnsomheten til fiskeriene ved å analysere endringer i fangstkostnader og fangstverdi knyttet til ressursen før ...

In drug discovery, natural organisms offer a rich source of bioactive compounds, with over one-third of drugs originating from natural sources. Bioprospecting is the field of systematically screening organisms to discover and isolate novel compounds for drug development or other applications. With the shifting trends of examining the biodiversity of the marine environment, have marine bioprospecting ...

With rapidly increasing temperatures, reducing ice cover and lower albedo, the physico-chemical conditions in the Arctic fluctuate more than any other place on the planet, especially in the light of the current climate change. This has a severe effect on e.g. Arctic marine eco- systems, which make marine species good indicators, as they are in close contact with environmental gradients. One of which ...

Cereals and cereal products have traditionally been staple foods in many countries including in the Nordics and Baltics. Cereals can be consumed with their entire grain kernel and are then referred to as whole grains or can be consumed after removal of the bran or germ and are then referred to as refined grains. The terms cereals and grains are often used interchangeably. In this scoping review, ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe and compare echocardiographic findings before renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) and 6 and 24 months after the procedure.<p> <p>Materials and methods: Patients with treatment resistant hypertension (TRH) were included in this non-randomised intervention study. RDN was performed by a single experienced operator using the Symplicity Catheter ...

<p>Background Colorectal cancer screening programmes (CRCSPs) are implemented worldwide despite recent evidence indicating more physical harm occurring during CRCSPs than previously thought. Therefore, we aimed to review the evidence on physical harms associated with endoscopic diagnostic procedures during CRCSPs and, when possible, to quantify the risk of the most serious types of physical harm ...

Previous research on real-time sentence processing in German has shown that listeners use the morphological marking of accusative case on a sentence-initial noun phrase to not only interpret the current argument as the object and patient, but also to predict a plausible agent. So far, less is known about the use of case marking to predict the semantic role of upcoming arguments after the subject/agent ...

Background: The crucial role of physical activity (PA) in promoting well-being and overall health of adolescents is widely acknowledged. Previous global studies have consistently revealed low adherence to PA recommendations among adolescents, emphasizing potential links between PA engagement and self-efficacy in school-based populations. However, there is a need for further exploration of this ...

The utilization of algae in aquaculture is environmentally friendly, safe, and cost-effective and can effectively substitute for fish meal and fish oil in aquatic feeds. Incorporating algae as dietary supplements leads to significant enhancements in aquatic animals’ health and also improves the aquatic ecosystem. Algae are rich sources of nutrients and serve as the foundational food source in ...
