Introduction - Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been linked to effects on human lipid profiles, with several epidemiological studies reporting associations between specific PFAS and blood lipid concentrations. However, these associations have been inconsistent, and most studies have focused on cross-sectional analyses with limited repeated measurements.<p> <p>Objective - In this ...

Teacher noticing is widely recognized as an important aspect of teachers’ competencies and professional development. Drawing on resonance pedagogy, we propose resonance-sensitive professional vision as a new theoretical concept to analyze teacher noticing practices, aiming to highlight often neglected criteria of instructional quality. Our study investigates patterns of noticing among biology teachers ...

Children's sport participation has several positive outcomes regarding physiological, psychological, and social factors. We have limited knowledge of how Ukrainian parents perceive their children's inclusion in Norwegian sports. Taking Bourdieu's (1990, The logic of practice. Polity press) three fundamental forms of capital into account (economic, cultural, and social – considered as resources needed ...

Background - The association between different patterns of healthcare use and non-recovery in patients with spinal disorders is unclear. We aimed to assess the association between healthcare use and non-recovery 6 months after a specialist evaluation in Norwegian secondary care and whether non-recovery was linked to adherence to specialist-recommended care.<p> <p>Methods - This observational ...

This longitudinal study examined the intention to quit (ITQ) among child welfare and protection (CWP) workers in Norway and its relationship with mentoring. Participants from 80 municipalities were surveyed at three time points (T1: n = 225, T2: n = 168, T3: n = 64). Linear mixed models revealed an increasing ITQ over time, with no significant impact of mentoring on ITQ trajectories or levels. Despite ...

Thinking of fisheries as a social-ecological system is a relatively new approach in fisheries science and management. As part of a novel contribution to this perspective, this study uses mental models analysis as a new approach to gain insights into how fisheries might be conceptualized. Following an established methodology for analyzing mental models, we established a reference model of fishery ...

Little is known about the exposure of aquatic biota to tire and road wear particles (TRWP) washed away from roads. Mussels were exposed for 7 days to model TRWP (m-TRWP), produced by milling tire tread particles with pure sand, and analyzed for 21 tire-related compounds by liquid chromatography-high resolution-mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). Upon exposure to 0.5 g/L of m-TRWP, 15 compounds were determined ...

Successful adoption of evidence-based primary prevention interventions by schools is important for public health but relies on multiple factors. Using a systems perspective enables the identification of the interconnectivity and feedback loops among these factors, which can facilitate or hinder adoption. This study aimed to conceptualize a system structure showing how adoption factors are interrelated, ...

Background: Combination therapies for cancer have gained considerable attention due to their potential for enhancing therapeutic efficacy and decreasing drug resistance. Introducing nanodrug delivery systems in this context may further improve the therapy due to targeted delivery, improved drug stability, sustained drug release, and prevention of rapid clearance from circulation. This study evaluates ...
