Pollution is one of the main anthropogenic threats to marine ecosystems. Studies analysing the accumulation and transfer of contaminants in planktonic food webs tend to rely on samples collected in discrete water bodies. Here, we assessed the representativeness of measurements at the chlorophyll-a maximum layer during the MERITEHIPPOCAMPE cruise for the entire water column by investigating the ...

Climate sensitivity is the change of the global-mean surface temperature in response to a doubling of the CO2 concentration. It is typically used to describe climate change and to inform decision-making for mitigation and adaptation. Climate sensitivity is often estimated in numerical climate model experiments. A remarkable result from these experiments is that climate sensitivity changes over time. ...

As a result of regulatory decisions, atmospheric deposition of most toxic metals and metalloids (MEs) has decreased in Europe over the past few decades. However, little is known about how this reduction translates into exposure at higher trophic levels in the terrestrial environment where temporal trends may be spatially heterogeneous due to local current or legacy sources of emissions (e.g., industry) ...

This thesis concerns the ways in which young people with refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds navigate new places, negotiating conflict and creating paths to peace in London. Those with the most proximate experiences of migration are often excluded from peacebuilding processes. Coloniality entangled into the praxis of peace and conflict fashions a dogma in which Global North understandings of peace ...

Migrant smuggling has resulted in unprecedented levels of peacetime defensive actions. This is because migrant smuggling is generally considered both the cause and consequence of grave human rights violations. Another reason can be found in the right of States to determine who their residents and future citizens are, and the threat migrant smuggling is to that right. Migrant smuggling has therefore ...

The thesis reflects on the discussions surrounding refugee participation in work. Furthermore, the thesis seeks to find out the experiences of refugee women after five years of work participation. Focusing on their personal empowerment, relationship with children, changing ideals about femininities across transnational spaces, and creation of social networks, the thesis explores how these factors ...

In the Summer of 2020, mass protests occurred throughout the United States in response to the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of law enforcement. This incident sparked a lot of contradicting discourse when speaking about the BLM movement and what was happening around the nation. At the height of it all, the President of the United States warned those who were participating in the ...

Aims and objectives: To explore students' experiences from a pilot project testing out a model for active, collaborative learning in first-year placement at a nursing home.<p> <p>Background: There is a need for innovative learning activities and projects to improve clinical education in nursing homes. Active, collaborative approaches in placement learning may enhance students learning ...

Purpose: To explore Norwegian breast radiologists’ expectations of adding artificial intelligence (AI) in the interpretation procedure of screening mammograms.<p> <p>Methods: All breast radiologists involved in interpretation of screening mammograms in BreastScreen Norway during 2021 and 2022 (n = 98) were invited to take part in this anonymous cross-sectional survey about use of AI in mammographic ...

A comprehensive set of analytical techniques, encompassing geological, petrographic, mineralogical, and zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopic compositions, was employed to investigate a relatively poorly known pegmatite field located in Helgeland, North Norway. The Paleoproterozoic basement gneisses in the area have U-Pb zircon crystallization ages between 1870 ± 12 and 1811 ± 6 Ma, meaning that they belong to ...
