Pedagogical competence is intended to be developed through participation in different university courses. <p>In our study, we reviewed ... -
Connecting residual depressive symptoms to self-reported executive functioning: A network analytical approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-10)Persisting executive functioning (EF) impairments following remission from depression form an important source of disability in daily life. However, little is known regarding how specific aspects of EF relate to residual depressive symptomatology. Using network analysis, the current study investigates unique associations between cognitive-, affective-, and somatic depressive symptoms (Beck ... -
Longitudinal determinants of insomnia among patients with alcohol use disorder
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-07)Insomnia is common among patients with AUD and can impair quality of life and cognitive functioning, as well as cause psycho-social problems and increased risk of relapse. Nonetheless, determinants of insomnia in patients with AUD have scarcely been studied. We aimed to examine prevalence and development of self-perceived insomnia among inpatients in treatment for AUD, and to examine factors in ... -
Marine Snow Detection for Real Time Feature Detection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-01)Underwater images are often degraded due to backscatter, light attenuation and light artifacts. One important aspect of it is marine snow, which are particles of varying shape and size. Computer vision technologies can be strongly affected by them and may therefore provide incorrect and biased results. In robotic applications, there is limited computational power for online processing. A method for ... -
Position specific physical performance and running intensity fluctuations in elite women's football
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-26)The purpose of the present study was to investigate the physical performance of elite female football players during match play along with transient alterations in running performance following 1- and 5-min univariate peak periods. 54 elite female players from four top-level Norwegian teams were monitored for one season (n = 393 match observations), and physical performance data collected using ... -
The Arctic Amplification and Its Impact: A Synthesis through Satellite Observations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-28)Arctic climate change has already resulted in amplified and accelerated regional warming, or the Arctic amplification. Satellite observations have captured this climate phenomenon in its development and in sufficient spatial details. As such, these observations have been—and still are—indispensable for monitoring of the amplification in this remote and inhospitable region, which is sparsely covered ... -

Foreldrekompasset - Foreldrestøttede tiltak i Bodø kommune
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-11-09)Bodø kommune fikk i 2019 midler til et 4-årig prosjekt, for å bygge opp og iverksette en helhetlig og sammenhengende kjede av foreldrestøttende tiltak. For å sikre en kunnskapsbasert utvikling og implementering av tiltaket inngikk Bodø kommune et samarbeide med Nordlandsforskning om en baselineundersøkelse og følgeforskning av prosjektet. Ettersom rammene for programmet var begrenset ble det ... -
Physiological responses and performance during a 3-minute cycle time trial: standard paced versus all-out paced
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-22)Purpose: To compare performance and physiological responses between a standard-paced 3-minute time trial (TT<sub>SP</sub>, ie, pacing based on normal intention) and a consistently all-out-paced 3-minute time trial (TTAOP). <p> <p>Methods: Sixteen well-trained male cyclists completed the TT<sub>SP</sub> and TT<sub>AOP</sub>, on separate days of testing, on a cycling ergometer with power output and ... -
Heart Rate Does Not Accurately Predict Metabolic Intensity During Variable-Intensity Roller Skiing or Cycling
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-07)Purpose: To critically appraise the utility of heart rate (HR) and power output (PO) to predict metabolic rate (MR) and oxygen consumption ( ˙ V O 2 ) during variable-intensity roller skiing and cycling. Methods: National-level cyclists (n = 8) and cross-country skiers (n = 9) completed a preliminary session to determine ˙ V O 2 max , and a variable-intensity protocol with 3 high-intensity ... -
Determinants of capital structure in the hospitality industry: Impact of clustering and seasonality on debt and liquidity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-04)Volatile seasonal demand and geographic clustering of firms are two important factors affecting the capital structure of hospitality firms. In this paper, we investigate the capital structure determinants of hospitality firms regarding the effects of seasonality and geographic clustering. A fixed-effects panel data model was estimated using data on all hospitality firms in Norway from 2008 to 2018. ... -
A new method for estimating length-dependent capture modes in gillnets: A case study in the Danish cod (Gadus morhua) fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-11)Gillnets are used world-wide for harvesting groundfish and pelagic species at sea and in freshwater. Little consideration has been given to how fish are caught in gillnets, even though the capture mode provides valuable information for understanding gear catchability. This paper describes a new method of estimating the length-dependent fish capture modes in gillnets. Using this method, we investigated ... -
Prediction of schizophrenia from activity data using hidden Markov model parameters
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-27)In this paper, we address the problem of predicting schizophrenia based on a persons measured motor activity over time. A key challenge to achieve this is how to extract features from the activity data that can efficiently separate schizophrenia patients from healthy subjects. To achieve this, we suggest to fit time dependent hidden Markov models with and without integrated covariates and letting ... -
Effectiveness of adding motivational interviewing or a stratified vocational advice intervention to usual case management on return to work for people with musculoskeletal disorders: The MI-NAV randomised controlled trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-25)<b><p>Objectives:</b> To evaluate if adding motivational interviewing (MI) or a stratified vocational advice intervention (SVAI) to usual case management (UC), reduced sickness absence over 6 months for workers on sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders. <b><p>Methods:</b> We conducted a three-arm parallel pragmatic randomised controlled trial including 514 employed workers (57% women, ... -
Reducing cod bycatch in flatfish fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-12)Management measures to facilitate the recovery of fish stocks can lead to shifts in traditional fishing patterns and target species. In the Baltic Sea, drastic reductions in catch quota for cod (Gadus morhua) force mixed demersal trawl fisheries to avoid cod bycatch and focus on flatfish species. This study developed and tested a simple se- lection concept that aims to avoid cod bycatch in ... -
An Empirical Evaluation of Explanations for Political System Support
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-09)The literature that examines cross-national satisfaction with democracy seeks to discover a set of predictors that are associated with evaluations of regime performance. The most common way of examining the determinants of satisfaction with democracy is null hypothesis significance testing. While this approach has merit, this paper argues that the literature, as it stands, can be complemented to ... -
Human-robot collaboration for automatic garbage removal
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-16)An easy task, such as emptying the trash bin, is essential and necessary for the health, safety and well-being of the occupants in commercial buildings.There have been developed smart bins that can measure and report the exact amount of garbage and alert for pickup. However a drawback is that they still require people to dispose the garbage. This type of work can be seen as non valueadded work and ... -
