The activity of citizen scientists who capture images of aurora borealis using digital cameras has recently been contributing to research regarding space physics by professional scientists. Auroral images captured using digital cameras not only fascinate us, but may also provide information about the energy of precipitating auroral electrons from space; this ability makes the use of digital cameras ...

Automatic detection of icebergs in satellite images is regarded a useful tool to provide information necessary for safety in Arctic shipping or operations over large ocean areas in near-real time. In this work, we investigated the feasibility of automatic iceberg detection in Sentinel-1 Extra Wide Swath (EWS) SAR images which follow the preferred image mode in operational ice charting. As test region, ...

Transcribing the 1950 Norwegian census with 3.3 million person records and linking it to the Central Population Register (CPR) provides longitudinal information about significant population groups during the understudied period of the mid-20th century. Since this source is closed to the public, we receive no help from genealogists and rather use machine learning techniques to semi-automate the ...

Snow avalanches are a complex phenomenon and correctly assessing avalanche danger is crucial in order to avoid accidents. To aid the decision-making process, different decision-making frameworks (DMFs) have been developed. However, each DMF assesses different factors. We identified 44 factors included in the ten most commonly used DMFs, supplemented by nine factors regarded as important by avalanche ...

Background Patients with personality disorders (PDs) often have insecure attachment patterns and may be especially vulnerable to abrupt treatment changes. Patients with borderline PD (BPD) are often considered vulnerable to treatment interruption due to chronic fear of abandonment. Nonetheless, other PDs are poorly investigated. In the first Covid-19 wave in Norway, in-person treatment facilities ...

<i>Objective</i> - To date, little is known about differences in the knowledge, diagnosis making and treatment strategies of health care providers regarding polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) across different disciplines in countries with similar health care systems. To inform guideline translation, we aimed to study physician reported awareness, diagnosis and management of PCOS and to explore ...

Bakgrunnen for artikkelen er gjennomføring av gruppepraksis ved profesjonsutdanningene bachelor i barnevern og bachelor i sosialt arbeid. Vi ønsket å utforske studenters tilegnelse av ulike typer kunnskap i gruppepraksis og hvordan denne kunnskapen kan ha betydning for den sosialfaglige profesjonsutøvelsen. Vi gjennomførte fokusgruppeintervjuer med 46 studenter og 18 praksiskontakter fra 12 ...

Studien belyser tre kvinners opplevelser av at deres selvstendige ektefeller får slag og blir sterkt pleietrengende, samt hvordan de opplever samhandlingen med helse- og omsorgstjenesten. Det er benyttet en hermeneutisk- fenomenologisk tilnærming og semistrukturerte kvalitative intervju. Funnene viser at kvinnene opplever utmattelse, usikkerhet og hjelpeløshet i sin egen rolle som ektefelle, mor og ...

Det er nå om lag 20 år siden begrepet «open access» ble lansert og definert. Den gang så nok mange for seg at all forskning skulle bli publisert åpent og fritt tilgjengelig innen få år. Men etter 20 år er det fortsatt (i de fleste land) færre enn 50% av publikasjonene som blir gjort åpent tilgjengelige. Samtidig har oppmerksomheten blitt utvidet til å handle om mer enn åpne artikler. Åpne forskningsdata, ...
