Research has found psychological dimensions of religiosity/spirituality (R/S) beneficial against non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), whereas the effect of R/S social aspects is less studied. Using data from the SAMINOR 2 Questionnaire Survey (2012, n = 10,717 ages 18–69; response rate: 27%; non-Sami: 66%; females: 55%), we examined the association of R/S—religious attendance, congregational affiliation, ...

The stable isotope ratios of sulfur (δ³⁴S relative to Vienna Cañon Diablo Troilite) in sulfates and sulfdes determined by elemental analysis and isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA/IRMS) have been proven to be a remarkable tool for studies of the (bio)geochemical sulfur cycles in modern and ancient environments. However, the use of EA/IRMS to measure δ³⁴S in arsenides and ...

The Arctic plays a central role in the Earth’s climate and an increasingly important role in international relations and politics. As the region undergoes profound transformation due to combined impacts of anthropogenic climate change and global economic forces, new questions of governance come to the forefront of debates about the future of the region. This primer provides an essential overview of ...

Different risks are associated with the operation and maintenance of wind farms in cold climate regions, mainly due to the harsh weather conditions that wind farms experience in that region such as the (i) increased stoppage rate of wind turbines due to harsh weather conditions, (ii) limited accessibility to wind farms due to snow cover on roads, and (iii) cold stress to workers at wind farms. In ...

In this article, we investigate labour struggles under the condition of digital capitalism. The main research question this paper addresses is: How do German unions evaluate and respond to the rapidly accelerating digitalisation of economy and work? Based on a series of interviews with union representatives in Germany, we trace recent developments in an increasingly digitised economy and outline ...

I denne artikkelen ser forfatterne på, hvordan både musikk- og inkluderingsbegrepet kan forstås i utvidet forstand, og hvordan denne tenkningen kan bidra til å skape gode aktiviserings- og inkluderingsverktøy på en måte som fremmer reell deltakelse for personer i alle aldergrupper og med ulike utfordringer. Forfatterne arbeider som henholdsvis førstelektor og universitetslektor ved det helsevitenskapelige ...

<p><i>Bakgrunn:</i> Det ses en økende forekomst av diabetes type 2 (T2D) i verden, og kostholdet er en av de viktigste modifiserbare risikofaktorene. Meieriprodukter er en stor kilde til mettede fettsyrer, som er en mulig risikofaktor for T2D. På den andre siden er det sett at flere enkeltnæringsstoffer i meieriprodukter kan virke forebyggende mot T2D. Denne oversiktsartikkelen oppsummerer litteratur ...

Peak locomotor demands are considered as key metrics for conditioning drills prescription and training monitoring. However, research in female football has focused on absolute values when reporting match demands, leading to sparse information being provided regarding the degrees of variability of such metrics. Thus, the aims of this study were to investigate the sources of variability of match ...

Size selection and exploitation pattern of diamond-mesh codends with different mesh sizes, 25 to 54 mm, for demersal trawl fishery targeting banded scad (Caranx (Atule) kalla) was tested and compared using the covered codend method in the South China Sea. Our results demonstrated that the selective parameters, L50 (50% retention length) and SR (selection range), would increase as the mesh sizes of ...

The management of multispecies fisheries, such as the Mediterranean bottom trawl fishery, is always a challenge. However, information on gear selectivity and discards has been studied separately so far. In this paper, the overall size-selection pattern by the trawl codend in the sea and by the fisher onboard the vessel is investigated for four commercially important fish species, Mullus barbatus, ...
