Diamond OA journals face similar challenges around the world. Funding and support are needed to make the transition to high-quality open access publishing possible.

Concentration data on POPs in air is necessary to assess the effectiveness of international regulations aiming to reduce the emissions of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) into the environment. POPs in European background air are continuously monitored using active- and passive air sampling techniques at a limited number of atmospheric monitoring stations. As a result of the low spatial resolution ...

Recently, the combination of cognitive radio networks with the nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) approach has emerged as a viable option for not only improving spectrum usage but also supporting large numbers of wireless communication connections. However, cognitive NOMA networks are unstable and vulnerable because multiple devices operate on the same frequency band. To overcome this drawback, ...

An increasing number of European research projects return, or plan to return, individual genomic research results (IRR) to participants. While data access is a data subject’s right under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and many legal and ethical guidelines allow or require participants to receive personal data generated in research, the practice of returning results is not straightforward ...

The problem of bristletail Ctenolepisma longicaudatum (Zygentoma: Lepismatidae) in libraries, archives, and museums is increasing. It can cause damage to valuable and irreplaceable objects. We describe the effect of the use of insecticidal gel bait (active ingredient: indoxacarb) against C. longicaudatum populations in three libraries, seven archives, and seven museums in Norway and Austria. Pest ...

Procellariiform seabirds like northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) are prone to ingest and accumulate floating plastic pieces. In the North Sea region, there is a long tradition to use beached fulmars as biomonitors for marine plastic pollution. Monitoring data revealed consistently lower plastic burdens in adult fulmars compared to younger age classes. Those findings were hypothesized to partly ...

By inquiring into older adults' narrations about their lives in the present, past, and future, this study aims to learn more about home-dwelling older adults' lived experiences of being and becoming “frail”. This article is based on a dialogical narrative analysis of interviews with three home-dwelling older adults identified as frail by the home care services. We conducted a series of three interviews ...

Background Morbidity and mortality increase as Fontan patients age into adulthood. Limited studies have examined cardiac magnetic resonance and echocardiographic parameters to predict death and transplantation in children after the Fontan operation. The aim of this study was to investigate echocardiographic parameters in adolescents and adults after Fontan operation, including myocardial mechanics ...

Jumping to Conclusions’, or hasty decision making, is widely studied within clinical and computational psychology. It is typically investigated using the ‘beads task’, a sequential information sampling paradigm, and defining one or two draws as jumping to conclusion. Situational experimental conditions, e.g., group vs. individual testing, abstract vs. cover story, show-up fee or course credit, ...

Allemannsretten må ha «gått til hodet på folk», konkluderte en trøndersk sauebonde i en kronikk hun fikk publisert midt i fellesferien sommeren 2020, der hun beskrev forskjellige overtramp hun har opplevd fra turfolk. Blant eksemplene var tidvis brutale beskrivelser av barn som lekte med sauene hennes på enga, folk som tente bål på plena og turgåere som forsøplet og ikke lukket grinda etter seg ...
