This article deals with issues of work inclusion, with a particular focus on the user’s perspective on work, and the work inclusion policy in Norway. An expanded concept of work is applied, which includes all human activities that contribute social value to society, and not only paid work. However, work is typically seen as activities that are valued in society. One consequence of this is that some ...

The Lyngen Magmatic Complex (Northern Norway) marks a major discontinuity in the metamorphic gradient of the North Norwegian Caledonides nappe sequence. The Lyngen Magmatic Complex preserves pre- and syn-collisional structures and parageneses of the Caledonian orogeny. This study differentiates the two deformation events and offers a tectono-metamorphic model for the region, using a combination of ...

Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) clusters are crucial for understanding processes in liquid DMSO. Despite its importance, DMSO clusters have received negligible attention due to the complexity of their potential energy surfaces (PESs). In this work, we explored the PESs of the DMSO clusters from dimer to decamer, starting with classical molecular dynamics, followed by full optimizations at the PW6B95-D3/def2-TZVP ...

Purpose: To compare the frequency and severity of self-perceived negative symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle or hormonal-contraceptive (HC) cycle between (1) HC users and non–HC users and (2) different competition levels. An additional aim was to describe the rate and type of HC use and prevalence of potential menstrual-cycle disturbances in female team handball players. <p> <p>Methods: ...

X-bundet hypofosfatemi er en sjelden genetisk sykdom som medfører fosfattap i nyrene, redusert mineralisering av tenner og skjelett, deformerte knokler og begrenset mobilitet. Dette har betydelige konsekvenser for helse og livskvalitet. Denne kliniske oversikten gjennomgår anbefalinger for diagnostisering, behandling og oppfølging av voksne med tilstanden.

Avalanche forecasting is essential for safety in mountainous regions where avalanches threaten human life and infrastructure. Traditional methods for assessing avalanche risk, such as snow pit analysis, are challenging to apply over extensive areas due to their intensive labor and resource requirements. In this study, we explore the potential of satellite-based data for avalanche forecasting by ...

We propose a novel approach to compute the MAXCUT in attributed graphs, i.e., graphs with features associated with nodes and edges. Our approach works well on any kind of graph topology and can find solutions that jointly optimize the MAXCUT along with other objectives. Based on the obtained MAXCUT partition, we implement a hierarchical graph pooling layer for Graph Neural Networks, which is sparse, ...

This chapter examines the “digital turn” in higher education, with a particular focus on the post-pandemic experiences of students and teachers. It evaluates whether institutions provide the necessary digital competencies and support systems for high-quality learning and preparation for a digitalized society, or if they are still transitioning toward this ideal. Utilizing a situated learning model ...

Digital child protection faces numerous challenges in ensuring the safety and well-being of children in the digital age. This chapter highlights key strategies for handling these challenges and discusses Norway's digital strategy, which focuses on leveraging digitalization for societal development and public services, including child protection. The strategy encompasses initiatives related to digital ...

The biological carbon capture and utilisation (bio-CCU) project aims to incorporate responsible and sustainable innovation by utilising CO2 capture and promoting the use of algae-based products. To achieve this, the project employs several large reactors for algae production and smaller reactors for conducting experiments on different algae types and control parameters. In line with environmental ...
