The usage of a ytterbium oxide nanorod/carbon nanofiber (Yb₂O₃/f-CNF) hybrid nanocomposite for the electrochemical detection of carbendazim (CBZ) fungicide is demonstrated for the first time in this study. Various physicochemical methods such as Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy ...

Artikkelen omhandler arbeidsinkludering av personer med utviklingshemming via tiltaket Varig tilrettelagt arbeid (VTA). Artikkelen rapporterer fra en kvalitativ studie om arbeidsinkludering av personer med utviklingshemming og bygger på intervjuer med veiledere fra arbeidsinkluderingsbedrifter. Veilederne opplevde et krysspress av motstridende forventninger, og uttrykker positive og negative holdninger ...

We study spectral graph convolutional neural networks (GCNNs), where filters are defined as continuous functions of the graph shift operator (GSO) through functional calculus. A spectral GCNN is not tailored to one specific graph and can be transferred between different graphs. It is hence important to study the GCNN transferability: the capacity of the network to have approximately the same ...

Background: Computer-assisted clinical coding (CAC) tools are designed to help clinical coders assign standardized codes, such as the ICD-10 (International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision), to clinical texts, such as discharge summaries. Maintaining the integrity of these standardized codes is important both for the functioning of health systems and for ensuring data used ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were analysed in a high number of terrestrial samples of soil, earthworm, bird eggs and liver from red fox and brown rat in an urban area in Norway from 2013 to 2020. PFOS and the long chain PFCAs were the most dominating compounds in all samples, proving their ubiquitous distribution. Other less studied compounds such as 6:2 FTS were first and foremost ...

A large number of diversely functionalized analogs of the bioactive natural products neocryptolepine and isocryptolepine have been prepared from a series of 3-bromoquinoline derivatives. The neocryptolepines were obtained by a Pd⁰-catalyzed C−C bond coupling followed by C−N bond formation in yields up to 80 %, whereas the indoloquinolines were prepared by a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling ...

Sustainable development counteracts climate change and strives for a good quality of life. It is a development based on economic, social and environmental goals which should be evaluated. Environmental taxes have to ensure enterprises’ development follows sustainability principles. The basis of environmental taxes is a physical unit of harmful substance emissions with a proven negative impact on the ...

Da Fridtjof Nansen døde i 1930, skrev Nordahl Grieg hjem til sin bror Harald Grieg: «For et eventyrlig liv som er forbi, det var jo ikke én stor mand som døde, det var ti». Nansens brede virke, hans mange evner, hans tilstedeværelse i store hendelser gir alt et voldsomt inntrykk – og har gitt ham mange merkelapper: vitenskapsmann, polfarer, kunstner, diplomat, filantrop, for å nevne noen. <p> <p>Det ...

This paper describes the analysis of streamed log data generated from the use of two specific e-learning tools in the context of a basic logic course taught and evaluated at Aalborg University, Denmark, during the period from September 2022 to January 2023. The students’ work with the two kinds of basic logic introduced in the course, classical syllogistics and elementary propositional logic ...

This chapter addresses conflicts of interest that might arise when there are ongoing custody disputes and, in particular, how legal instruments can be used where parents disagree regarding a decision concerning a child’s health. When a child is younger than 16 years, their parents must, as a rule, give consent regarding health matters. The child has a right, however, to be heard, and the parents ...
