Background: Few studies have investigated oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in young individuals with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Aims were to investigate whether OHRQoL difers between children and adolescents with JIA compared to controls without JIA, while adjusting for socio-demographic-, behavioral- and oral healthrelated covariates. Furthermore, to explore whether socio-behavioral ...

Researchers have argued that temporal microdeviations from the metric grid, such as those produced by musicians in performance, are crucial to making a musical rhythm groovy and danceable. It is curious, then, that the music currently dominating the dance floor, “electronic dance music” or EDM, is typically characterized by grid-based rhythms. But is such a “mechanistic,” grid-based aesthetic ...

I dette kapittelet tar jeg for meg hvordan en kommune og et NAV-kontor i Nord-Norge er organisert, for å lykkes med introduksjonsprogrammet og hurtigsporet. 15 kvalitative intervjuer gjennomført høsten 2017 med ansatte i flyktningetjenesten og ansatte i NAV danner grunnlag for konklusjonen om at flyktningetjenesten i kommunen og NAV både er organisatorisk atskilt og sliter med å få til et fungerende ...

Opplæring av nye bibliotekbrukere er viktig både for brukerne og biblioteket. En av de mest vanlige formene for opplæring er omvisning i biblioteket med en bibliotekar. Problemet med omvisning er at det er en arbeidskrevende form for opplæring, i tillegg til at den vanligvis blir gitt i en periode der det fra før er svært travelt. Det gjør det vanskelig å skaffe tilstrekkelig med kvalifiserte omvisere. ...

Monomineralic millimeter-sized olivine nodules are common in kimberlites worldwide. It is generally thought that such ‘dunitic nodules’ originate from the base of the cratonic lithosphere and that their formation marks the onset of deep-rooted kimberlite magmatic plumbing systems. However, thermobarometric constraints to support such a model have been lacking thus far. This study focuses on the ...

The Collective Arrangement, subscribed to by OSPAR and NEAFC and presented as a model by these organisations, suggests that regional seas organisations, such as OSPAR, are to act as standard setters for the conservation of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ). The model suggests that regional seas organisations and other organisations, such as NEAFC, the IMO and the ISA, ...

The degree to which exercises improve the collaboration among different organizations during an emergency is under debate. This study aims to contribute to the scarce research on this topic by giving insight into the perceived effects of exercises on collaboration, learning, usefulness and interorganizational trust. In particular, this quantitative study looked into the differences between the effects ...

<i>Background and objectives</i> - A plethora of studies has investigated and compared social cognition in autism and schizophrenia ever since both conditions were first described in conjunction more than a century ago. Recent computational theories have proposed similar mechanistic explanations for various symptoms beyond social cognition. They are grounded in the idea of a general misestimation ...
