      Toft, Håvard B.; Sykes, John; Schauer, Andrew; Hendrikx, Jordy; Hetland, Audun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-21)
      Avalanche risk assessment is complex and challenging, with terrain assessment as one of the most fundamental factors. To aid people's terrain assessment, Parks Canada developed the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES), a system that classifies the severity of avalanche terrain into five classes from non-avalanche terrain to extreme terrain. Manual classification is laborious and dependent on ...

      Background - The health care is likely to break down unless we are able to increase the level of functioning for the growing number of patients with complex, chronic illnesses. Hence, novel high-capacity and cost-effective treatments with trans-diagnostic effects are warranted. In accordance with the protocol paper, we aimed to examine the acceptability, satisfaction, and effectiveness of an ...
    • Relational rehabilitation: Reducing harmful effects of bullying 

      Finne, Johannes Nilsson; Roland, Erling Georg; Svartdal, Frode (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-12-10)
      Bullying causes pain and harm to the victims and creates wounds that often remain even if the bullying stops. Additionally, the social dynamics of the classroom community, where most bullying takes place, may remain after the termination of the active bullying of a pupil. This combination of personal trauma and contextual conditions in the classroom community creates a high risk of negative development. ...
    • CaMKIIa+ neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis modulate pace of natural reward seeking depending on internal state

    • Because sex matters: The case of female sexual response 

      Ventura-Aquino, Elisa; Ågmo, Anders j (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-05-17)
      In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration approved two drugs for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women which have been tested in preclinical tests with positive effects on some appetitive sexual behavior in female rats. Some years after their commercial release, the effectiveness of both drugs in women is not clear. In the present chapter, we present some ...
    • Disrupting the Social and Time Vacuum: A Systemic and Lifespan Perspective on Job Insecurity 

      Debus, Maike E.; Unger, Dana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023)
      In their lead article, Klug et al. conceptualize job insecurity as a multilevel construct whereby individuals are situated in meso- and macro-level contexts. Their resulting model highlights that the experience of job insecurity, as well as reactions to job insecurity, are not only affected by factors emanating from individuals' direct environment (i.e., at the individual level) but also from different ...
    • Evaluation of Sexual Behavior in Laboratory vs Seminatural Conditions 

      Chu, Xi; Ågmo, Anders j (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-05-17)
      Sexual behavior is, by necessity, sexually dimorphic. Males transfer sperm to females, whereas females receive sperm from males. Discussions of sex differences in copulatory behavior are consequently trivial. However, the behaviors associated with copulation, for example mate choice or postcopulatory reactions, may well be similar in males and females. Such differences, even subtle, are far easier ...
    • Changes in reward-induced neural activity upon Cafeteria Diet consumption 

      Heijkoop, Roy; Ferrer Lalanza, Jaume; Solanas, Montserrat; Álvarez-Monell, Adam; Subias-Gusils, Alex; Escorihuela, Rosa; Snoeren, Eelke Mirthe Simone (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-01)
      Excessive consumption of highly palatable foods rich in sugar and fat, often referred to as “junk” or “fast” foods, plays a central role in the development of obesity. The highly palatable characteristics of these foods activate hedonic and motivational mechanisms to promote food-seeking behavior and overeating, which is largely regulated by the brain reward system. Excessive junk food consumption ...
    • From serial reproduction to serial communication: transmission of the focus of comparison in lay communication about gender inequality 

      Braun, Maike; Martiny, Sarah E.; Bruckmüller, Susanne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-21)
      We introduce and explore the potential of the serial communication method, a modification of the serial reproduction paradigm in which participants communicate their own thoughts. It affords participants more agency, more closely simulating real communication. We specifically examined the transmission of the focus of comparison in explanations of gender inequality, a consequential form of equivalency ...

    • Echoes from Intrinsic Connectivity Networks in the Subcortex 

      Groot, Josephine Maria; Miletic, Steven; Isherwood, Scott J.S.; Tse, Desmond H.Y.; Habli, Sarah; Håberg, Asta; Forstmann, Birte U.; Bazin, Pierre-Louis; Mittner, Matthias Bodo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-27)
      Decades of research have greatly improved our understanding of intrinsic human brain organization in terms of functional networks and the transmodal hubs within the cortex at which they converge. However, substrates of multinetwork integration in the human subcortex are relatively uncharted. Here, we leveraged recent advances in subcortical atlasing and ultra-high field (7 T) imaging optimized for ...
    • Sexual Incentive Motivation 

      Huijgens, Patty; Heijkoop, Roy; Snoeren, Eelke (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-05-17)
      Motivation can be described as the processes that activate, direct, and determine the persistence of goal-directed behavior. A certain level of sexual motivation is required to activate approach behavior which could potentially lead to copulation and reproduction. Here, we discuss the use of the sexual incentive motivation test to assess the magnitude of sexual motivation in rodents in response to ...
    • Impact of active placebo controls on estimated drug effects in randomised trials: a systematic review of trials with both active placebo and standard placebo 

      Laursen, David RT; Nejstgaard, Camilla Hansen; Bjørkedal, Espen; Dreyer Frost, Anders; Rix Hansen, Morten; Paludan-Müller, Asger S; Prosenz, Julian; Werner, Christoph Patrick; Hrjóbjartsson, Asbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-06)
      Background - An estimated 60% of pharmacological randomised trials use placebo control interventions to blind (i.e. mask) participants. However, standard placebos do not control for perceptible non‐therapeutic effects (i.e. side effects) of the experimental drug, which may unblind participants. Trials rarely use active placebo controls, which contain pharmacological compounds designed to mimic the ...
