Provenance, depositional setting and diagenesis as keys to reservoir quality of the Lower Cretaceous in the SW Barents Sea
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-06)This study examines the role of the depositional environment for the final reservoir quality in four Lower Cretaceous sandstone reservoirs in the southwestern Barents Sea by linking facies to the distribution of primary textures, composition, and diagenetic alteration. Facies analysis reveals slope-to-basin-floor, distal shallow-marine, and deltaic depositional environments. The slope-to-basin-floor ... -
Increased functional diversity warns of ecological transition in the Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-07)As temperatures rise, motile species start to redistribute to more suitable areas, potentially affecting the persistence of several resident species and altering biodiversity and ecosystem functions. In the Barents Sea, a hotspot for global warming, marine fish from boreal regions have been increasingly found in the more exclusive Arctic region. Here, we show that this shift in species distribution ... -
Instance Segmentation of Microscopic Foraminifera
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-16)Foraminifera are single-celled marine organisms that construct shells that remain as fossils in the marine sediments. Classifying and counting these fossils are important in paleo-oceanographic and -climatological research. However, the identification and counting process has been performed manually since the 1800s and is laborious and time-consuming. In this work, we present a deep learning-based ... -
Male rat sexual behavior: Insights from inter-copulatory intervals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-09)The assessment of sexual behavior in male rats with the aim of unraveling underlying neurobiological mechanisms has in the recent decades been reduced to the annotation of mounts, intromissions and ejaculations. To provide a better understanding of the structure and patterns of copulation, it is necessary to extend and tailor the analysis to the natural organization of male rat copulation. This will ... -
Responsibility to Protect and Rising Asian Powers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-10)Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is the national and international responsibility to protect populations against mass atrocities. This article discusses prospects for the implementation of R2P objectives in a world where Asian powers rise. It focuses not only on prevention and assistance but also decisive action, the most controversial aspect of R2P, tied to the UN Security Council where China resides ... -

Approaching the boundary problem: Self-determination, inclusion, and the unpuzzling of transboundary conflicts
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-03)In recent decades, decisionmakers have increasingly faced conflicts juxtaposing demands for self-determination and inclusion. Political theorists term this juxtaposition “the boundary problem.” They have offered normative solutions, especially for “just inclusion,” proposing what states owe to exogenous individuals like migrants and refugees. Meanwhile, as I show, legal scholars have developed ... -

Liposomes-in-chitosan hydrogel boosts potential of chlorhexidine in biofilm eradication in vitro
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-16)Successful treatment of skin infections requires eradication of biofilms found in up to 90 % of all chronic wounds, causing delayed healing and increased morbidity. We hypothesized that chitosan hydrogel boosts the activity of liposomally-associated membrane active antimicrobials (MAA) and could potentially improve bacterial and biofilm eradication. Therefore, liposomes (∼300 nm) bearing chlorhexidine ... -
Peripheral nerve blocks for shoulder surgery - Periclavicular approaches in the pursuit of a diaphragm-sparing technique
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-09-03)<p>Background: Interscalene block is the gold standard for analgesia after shoulder surgery. However, it is associated with some block-related complications, especially the risk of hemidiaphragmatic paresis. In study I, we hypothesized that a more distal combination of nerve blocks would provide a feasible alternative to the gold standard. Study II was designed to optimize one of the components of ... -
Luminescence dating of holocene siliciclastic sediments in eastern Dahomey Basin, southwestern Nigeria
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-02)Several attempts at reconstructing geological settings and palaeoclimatic changes of the siliciclastic deposits of the Dahomey Basin, SW Nigeria, using relative age dating and correlation methods, have resulted in serious discrepancies on the ages. Therefore, a chronology framework established by an absolute age dating method is requisite to constrain the geological interpretation. This research ... -
