Functional Outcomes of Children Identified Early in the Developmental Period as at Risk for ASD Utilizing the The Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-18)Early identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is regarded as crucial for swift access to early intervention and, subsequently, better outcomes later in life. However, current instruments miss large proportions of children who later go on to be diagnosed with ASD, raising a question of what these instruments measure. The present study utilized data from the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child ... -
Developing nationwide avalanche terrain maps for Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-12)Snow avalanches are a significant natural hazard in Norway. One method to manage the backcountry avalanche hazard is through detailed mapping of avalanche terrain. Avalanche terrain can be mapped using a variety of methods, including using the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES); however, manual classification of terrain using ATES is time consuming. This study has developed and compared a fully ... -
Hispidopannaria and Phormopsora, two new and small, but evolutionary old Pannariaceae lichen genera from southern South America
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-09)Based on phylogenetic analyses of the ITS, nuclear large subunit rRNA, mitochondrial small subunit rRNA, and MCM7 genes, species previously treated as <i>Pannaria hispidula</i> and <i>P. isabellina</i> are shown to represent two new Pannariaceae genera, <i>Hispidopannaria</i> and <i>Phormospsora</i>. Each genus forms monophyletic clades, both in multilocus phylogeny and in single gene phylogenies. ... -

Technology integrated pedagogical practices: A look into Evidence-based teaching and coherent learning for young children
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-20)In the last decade, in particular, understanding technology use within children’s play-based experiences has been an important concern for early childhood education researchers and practitioners (Danby et al. 2018; Stephen and Edwards 2018). The World Economic Forum (2019) has highlighted the pressing issue of the twenty-first-century skills gap related to the digital revolution and ways that educators ... -

Exploring Conformational Dynamics of the Extracellular Venus flytrap Domain of the GABA B Receptor: A Path-Metadynamics Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-01)γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). Dysfunctional GABAergic neurotransmission is associated with numerous neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. The GABA<sub>B</sub> receptor (GABA<sub>B</sub>-R) is a heterodimeric class C G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) comprised of GABA<sub>B1a/b</sub> and GABA<sub>B2</sub> subunits. The ... -
Consistent use of proactive control and relation with academic achievement in childhood
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-08)As children become older, they better maintain task-relevant information in preparation of upcoming cognitive demands. This is referred to as proactive control, which is a key component of cognitive control development. However, it is still uncertain whether children engage in proactive control consistently across different contexts and how proactive control relates to academic abilities. This study ... -

Event Related Potentials at Initial Exposure in Third Language Acquisition: Implications from an Artificial Mini-Grammar Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-01)The present article examines the proposal that typology is a major factor guiding transfer selectivity in L3/L<i>n</i> acquisition. We tested first exposure in L3/L<i>n</i> using two artificial languages (ALs) lexically based in English and Spanish, focusing on gender agreement between determiners and nouns, and between nouns and adjectives. 50 L1 Spanish-L2 English speakers took part in the experiment. ... -
Sykepleiere trenger kompetanse i samvalg
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-30)Sykepleiere må i større grad bidra til å øke kvaliteten på beslutninger som angår pasientens helse. Samvalg skal være det normale i helsetjenesten, og sykepleiere bør derfor få muligheten til å tilegne seg ny kunnskap og utvikle nye ferdigheter. Både i grunnog videreutdanninger samt i spesialist- og primærhelsetjenesten må vi legge vekt på å utvikle sykepleiernes samvalgskompetanse. -
How study environments foster academic procrastination: Overview and recommendations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-02)Procrastination is common among students, with prevalence estimates double or even triple those of the working population. This inflated prevalence indicates that the academic environment may appear as “procrastination friendly” to students. In the present paper, we identify social, cultural, organizational, and contextual factors that may foster or facilitate procrastination (such as large degree ... -
Adherence to a Western dietary pattern and risk of bladder cancer: A pooled analysis of 13 cohort studies of the Bladder Cancer Epidemiology and Nutritional Determinants international study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-24)Little is known about the association of diet with risk of bladder cancer. This might be due to the fact that the majority of studies have focused on single food items, rather than dietary patterns, which may better capture any influence of diet on bladder cancer risk. We aimed to investigate the association between a measure of Western dietary pattern and bladder cancer risk. Associations between ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)Aerosoler blir generert i sammenheng med flere behandlingsprosedyrer og situasjoner i tannhelseklinikken. Aerosoler i tannhelseklinikken kan være infeksiøse og føre til smitte mellom tannhelsepersonell og pasienter. Forskjellige tiltak for å begrense smitte fra infeksiøs aerosol, beskrives og diskuteres. Det er urealistisk å forvente at lokale aerosoler kan elimineres i sammenheng med behandling i ... -
Daily associations between sleep and pain in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-02)Patients with chronic pain commonly report sleep problems, and the evidence for a relationship between sleep disturbance and pain seems robust. The day‐to‐day associations between these constructs are less well studied, particularly with objective sleep measures such as actigraphy. Moreover, the concurrent presence of negative affective symptoms, as well as seasonality effects at extreme latitudes ... -
Sleep Characteristics in Adults With and Without Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain. The Role of Mental Distress and Pain Catastrophizing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-15)<p>Objectives: Sleep disturbance is associated with persistence and exacerbation of chronic pain. As this relationship seems to be bidirectional, factors underpinning sleep disturbance may prove important in multimodal rehabilitation approaches. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the impact of psychological symptoms on subjective and objective sleep measures in patients with chronic ...
