      Smedbråten, Kaja; Grotle, Margreth; Jahre, Henriette; Richardsen, Kåre Rønn; Côté, Pierre; Steingrimsdottir, Olöf Anna; Storheim, Kjersti; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Øiestad, Britt Elin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-29)
      There is limited knowledge on the association between different health complaints and the development of persistent musculoskeletal pain in adolescents. The aims of this study were to assess whether specific health complaints, and an accumulation of health complaints, in the first year of upper-secondary school, were associated with persistent musculoskeletal pain 2 years later. We used data from a ...
    • Are attitudes in employees of public employment service in line with the principles of individual placement and support? A questionnaire-based survey 

      Brinchmann, Beate; Rinaldi, Miles; Sandtorv, Elisabeth; Moe, Cathrine Fredriksen; McDaid, David; Killackey, Eóin; Mykletun, Arnstein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-13)
      A high proportion of people with severe mental illness (SMI) want to work, consider it essential for recovery, yet employment rates are low. Many employees in public employment services (PES) work according to traditional attitudes that people with SMI are unable to work and if they do, risk harm from work-related stress. These attitudes conflict with principles in evidence based vocational models ...
    • Health-related quality of life in inflammatory bowel disease: a comparison of patients receiving nurse-led versus conventional follow-up care 

      Alvestad, Line; Jelsness-Jørgensen, Lars-Petter; Goll, Rasmus; Clancy, Anne Mary Gerard; Gressnes, Thomas; Valle, Per Christian; Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-31)
      Background - Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), consisting of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic disorder with a considerable negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). During the past decade, IBD nurse specialists have been increasingly involved in follow-up care of IBD outpatients, in a consultative and coordinating role, closely cooperating with ...
    • Alchemists needed, to transform bronze to gold! 

      Frantsvåg, Jan Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-13)
      Much Bronze OA is of little interest from an OA point of view, but there is a subset of Bronze that has potential to be converted to Diamond OA. This is the kind of Bronze where the lack of a formal OA status is not due to economic considerations, but lack of resources and/or competence.
    • Prevalence assessment adjusted for laboratory test performance using an example of the COVID-19 serological tests 

      Krieger, Ekaterina Anatoljevna; Grjibovski, Andrej; Postoev, Vitaly A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-19)
      Assessment of the prevalence of the disease or condition should consider the accuracy of the diagnostic tests. In the context of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic, laboratory testing has been one of the most important components of the overall strategy for the control and prevention of this infection. Seroprevalence studies have been used to assess and monitor the level of population ...

      Malm-Nicolaisen, Kristian; Fagerlund, Asbjørn Johansen; Pedersen, Rune (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The Electronic Health Record (EHR) has been a principal component in transforming healthcare from traditional pen-and-paper documentation procedures to highly digitalized and interoperable environments. Implementation of EHR is complicated, and success is dependent on the users accepting and utilizing the system to its potential. The present qualitative multi-center study investigated health ...
    • Clash of Identities: Ontological (In)Securities of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the Repercussions 

      Taj, Farhat (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-16)
      The notion of security denotes freedom from threats. Ontological security implies emancipation from threats to core values that identify a person or a state. This article demonstrates the Pak-Afghan relationship as a case in point. It offers a relatively new perspective for understanding the continued contentious relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It argues that the Pashtun state ...

      de Boer, Eline; Sokolova, Marina; Quach, Huy Quang; Mc Adam, Karin Ekholt; Götz, Maximilian P.; Chaban, Viktoriia; Vaage, Ingvar Jarle; Fageräng, Beatrice Linnea Christina; Woodruff, Trent M.; Garred, Peter; Nilsson, Per; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Pischke, Soeren (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-01)
      Bacterial and mitochondrial DNA, sharing an evolutionary origin, act as danger-associated molecular patterns in infectious and sterile inflammation. They both contain immunomodulatory CpG motifs. Interactions between CpG motifs and the complement system are sparsely described, and mechanisms of complement activation by CpG remain unclear. Lepirudin-anticoagulated human whole blood and plasma were ...

    • The influence of race tactics for performance in the heats of an international sprint cross-country skiing competition 

      Haugnes, Pål; Kocbach, Jan; Kjøsen Talsnes, Rune; Noordhof, Dionne; Ettema, Gertjan; Sandbakk, Øyvind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-09)
      The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of race tactics for performance in the heats of an international sprint cross-country (XC) skiing competition in the classical style. Thirty elite male XC skiers (age: 24±3 years, sprint International Ski Federation [FIS] points: 61±27) performed a sprint time-trial (STT) followed by one to three ‘knock-out’ heats on a 1.7 km racecourse. An ...
    • The virulence factor regulator and quorum sensing regulate the type I-F CRISPR-Cas mediated horizontal gene transfer in Pseudomonas aeruginosa 

      Ahator, Stephen Dela; Liu, Yang; Wang, Jianhe; Zhang, Lian-Hui (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-30)
      Pseudomonas aeruginosa is capable of thriving in diverse environments due to its network of regulatory components for effective response to stress factors. The survival of the bacteria is also dependent on the ability to discriminate between the acquisition of beneficial and non-beneficial genetic materials via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Thus, bacteria have evolved the CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune ...
    • Life history trade-offs associated with exposure to low maternal capital are different in sons compared to daughters: Evidence from a prospective Brazilian birth cohort 

      Wells, Jonathan C. K.; Cole, Tim J.; Cortina-Borja, Mario; Sear, Rebecca; Leon, David A.; Marphatia, Akanksha A.; Murray, Joseph; Wehrmeister, Fernando C.; Oliveira, Paula D.; Gonçalves, Helen; Oliveira, Isabel O.; Menezes, Ana Maria B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-20)
      Background: Environmental exposures in early life explain variability in many physiological and behavioural traits in adulthood. Recently, we showed that exposure to a composite marker of low maternal capital explained the clustering of adverse behavioural and physical traits in adult daughters in a Brazilian birth cohort. These associations were strongly mediated by whether or not the daughter had ...

      Magnetometers are a key component of heliophysics research providing valuable insight into the dynamics of electromagnetic field regimes and their coupling throughout the solar system. On satellites, magnetometers provide detailed observations of the extension of the solar magnetic field into interplanetary space and of planetary environments. At Earth, magnetometers are deployed on the ground in ...
