The Triassic Boreal Ocean was a shallow epicontinental basin and the sink of the World's largest delta plain known to date. Nutrient and freshwater supply from this delta have been regarded as important causes for high productivity and water mass stratification, forming Middle Triassic oil-prone source rocks. Recent studies attribute upwelling and a productivity-induced oxygen minimum zone as ...

<p><i>Bakgrunn:</i> Voksne med utviklingshemming har dårligere fysisk og selvrapportert helse, og mindre tilgang til helsetjenester sammenlignet med generell befolkning. Dette har vært lite undersøkt i Norge. <p><i>Formål:</i> Øke kunnskap om helse og fysisk funksjon hos voksne med utviklingshemming. Undersøke faktorer assosiert med gjennomføring av fysiske funksjonstester, samt fysisk og selvopplevd ...

Arctic Ocean properties and processes are highly relevant to the regional and global coupled climate system, yet still scarcely observed, especially in winter. Team OCEAN conducted a full year of physical oceanography observations as part of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of the Arctic Climate (MOSAiC), a drift with the Arctic sea ice from October 2019 to September 2020. ...

We investigate the acquisition of grammatical gender marking in German by monolingual children as well as German-Russian bilingual children who grow up in Germany as heritage speakers of Russian. We ask to what extent monolingual and bilingual children use phonological and/or structural cues to assign nominal gender, and to what extent they rely on lexical knowledge. To this end, we designed three ...

In the North Germanic languages there are at least two highly interesting issues tied to passive double object verbs: 1. The promotion symmetry: both direct objects and indirect objects can be promoted to subject under passive in many North Germanic varieties. 2. Restrictions on verbs that can take indirect objects in passives: many verbs that take two objects in the active voice, cannot have both ...

To compare the performance of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I and T (hs-cTnI; hs-cTnT) in diagnosing obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD₅₀) in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). A total of 706 patients with suspected CCS, referred for Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography, were included. cTn concentrations were measured using the Singulex hs-cTnI ...

Objective: Several studies have found that Healthcare workers are vulnerable to mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, few studies have made comparisons of healthcare workers (HCWs) and nonHCWs. The current study aimed to compare mental health problems among HCWs with non-HCWs during the initial lockdown of COVID 19.<p> <p>Study design: A population-based cross-sectional ...

Background: Parental mental health problems is a common source of concern reported to child welfare and protection services (CWPS). In this study we explored to what extent the child was invited to participate in the investigation process. We aimed to study: (a) what was the current practice in the child protection service in Norway when the CWPS received a report of concern about children whose ...

The Arctic region of the Earth are largely covered by sea ice, which is important for the marine ecosystems locally in the region, but it also has an impact on the climate systems. Recent climate changes means that the sea ice is melting and the coverage is shrinking which can have a global impact. Monitoring these sea ice changes are important to get an understanding of this impact. There are ...
