    • Controlling biases in targeted plant removal experiments 

      Monteux, Sylvain; Blume-Werry, Gesche; Gavazov, Konstantin; Kirchhoff, Leah; Krab, Eveline J.; Lett, Signe; Pedersen, Emily P.; Väisänen, Maria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-30)
      <uli> <li>Targeted removal experiments are a powerful tool to assess the effects of plant species or (functional) groups on ecosystem functions. However, removing plant biomass in itself can bias the observed responses. This bias is commonly addressed by waiting until ecosystem recovery, but this is inherently based on unverified proxies or anecdotal evidence. Statistical control methods are ...

    • Convergence of T means with respect to Vilenkin systems of integrable functions 

      Baramidze, Davit; Gogolashvili, Nata; Nadirashvili, Nato (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-06)
      In this paper, we derive the convergence of T means of Vilenkin–Fourier series with monotone coefficients of integrable functions in Lebesgue and Vilenkin–Lebesgue points. Moreover, we discuss the pointwise and norm convergence in <i><b>L</i></b><sub>p</sub> norms of such T means.

      The cost of caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) continues to increase worldwide. The cause is not only a steady increase in the prevalence of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in both developed and newly industrialised countries, but also the chronic nature of the diseases, the need for long-term, often expensive treatments, the use of more intensive disease monitoring ...

    • Cost-effectiveness of meningococcal vaccination of Norwegian teenagers with a quadrivalent ACWY conjugate vaccine 

      Watle, Sara Sofie Viksmoen; Næss, Lisbeth Meyer; Tunheim, Gro; Caugant, Dominique A; Wisløff, Torbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-25)
      In Norway, the incidence of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is higher among 16–19-year-olds than in the general population. Most IMD cases among teenagers are caused by serogroup Y. Since 2011, one dose of meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccine (MCV4) has been recommended for teenagers with out-of-pocket payment. The teenagers are usually vaccinated through the school health service at age 18. ...

    • Could Mucosal TNF Transcript as a Biomarker Candidate Help Optimize Anti-TNF Biological Therapy in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis? 

      Cui, Guanglin; Florholmen, Jon; Goll, Rasmus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-19)
      Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biological therapy has generally been accepted as a standard therapeutic option in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patient who are refractory to steroids or immunomodulators. However, the primary and secondary nonresponse rates to anti-TNF bioagents in patients with IBD are high. To improve the response rate, anti-TNF bioagents must be offered to the appropriate ...

    • Counting geodesics of given commutator length 

      Erlandsson, Viveka; Souto, Juan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-15)
      Let Σ be a closed hyperbolic surface. We study, for fixed g, the asymptotics of the number of those periodic geodesics in Σ having at most length L and which can be written as the product of g commutators. The basic idea is to reduce these results to being able to count critical realizations of trivalent graphs in Σ. In the appendix, we use the same strategy to give a proof of Huber’s geometric ...

    • COVID-19 Infection Control Measures – Cross-Pressure Between the Right to Work and the Right to Health – A Norwegian Case Study of Service Provision to Persons With Cognitive Disabilities
