Rum där män möts: Samkönat begär i Knut Hamsuns "Hemmelig ve"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-09)I artikeln analyseras Knut Hamsuns novell ”Hemmelig ve” (1897) ur queer-perspektiv. Artikeln argumenterar för att Hamsuns novell skildrar ett samkönat erotiskt begär mellan berättaren och den man som betecknas som ”den främmande”. Den främmande förstås som berättarens dubbelgångare, och i egenskap av dubbelgångare representerar han berättarens förbjudna begär. Denna tolkning tar som utgångspunkt en ... -

FoU-veiledning er en veiledningssituasjon i grunnskolelærerutdanningen som er lite forsket på. Studiens primærdatamateriale er lydopptak av veiledningssamtaler hvor en gruppe lærerstudenter får FoU-veiledning fra tre lærerutdannere fra skolen og ... -
The high catalytic rate of the cold-active Vibrio alkaline phosphatase requires a hydrogen bonding network involving a large interface loop
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-16)The role of surface loops in mediating communication through residue networks is still a relatively poorly understood part in the study of cold adaptation of enzymes, especially in terms of their quaternary interactions. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) from the psychrophilic marine bacterium <i>Vibrio splendidus</i> (VAP) is characterized by an analogous large surface loop in each monomer, referred to as ... -
An incomplete Circle of Willis is not a risk factor for white matter hyperintensities: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-11)<p><i>Objective - </i>The Circle of Willis (CoW) is often underdeveloped or incomplete, leading to suboptimal blood supply to the brain. As hypoperfusion is thought to play a role in the aetiology of white matter hyperintensities (WMH), the objective of this study was to assess whether incomplete CoW variants were associated with increased WMH volumes compared to the complete CoW. <p><i>Methods - ... -
Platelet count and risk of major bleeding in venous thromboembolism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-05)<p>The relationship between platelet count and risk of major bleeding in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) during anticoagulation remains unclear. We therefore investigated the association between platelet count, measured at VTE diagnosis and before the thrombotic event, and risk of major bleeding. Participants comprised 744 patients with incident VTE derived from the Tromsø Study. Major ... -
Deriving Tidal Structure From Satellite Image Time Series
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-25)In shallow coastal regions, tides often control the water flux, which in turn directs sediment transport, nutrient delivery, and geochemical gradients. However, tides in shallow areas are spatially heterogeneous, making it challenging to constrain the geographic structure of tidal phase and amplitude without extensive networks of tide gauges. We present a simple remote sensing method for deriving ... -
Truth is dead; long live the truth. Commentary on Conjoining Meanings by Paul Pietroski
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-09)Pietroski successfully dismantles the idea of a formal semantic theory based on direct truth conditions and offers new and formally constrained alternatives. In this paper, I summarize the arguments but also provide a number of test cases to show that refusing to accept Pietroski's conclusions condemns the field to constantly restating and technically evading its own self‐created paradoxes. In the ... -
German and Austrian occupant literature on the Sami in Norway and Lapland – “Harmless” minority, a resource, and well-off “reindeer kings”
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)In previous research on the history of the Second World War in Finland and Norway, relations between the German and Austrian occupying forces and the Sami people have generally been considered to be good. The occupant gaze upon the Sami has been interpreted as exoticizing and “touristic”. Historical encounters and the Sami position in the literary discourse are discussed and explained in this article, ... -
