Skogens helsetilstand i Norge. Resultater fra skogskadeovervåkingen i 2018
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2019)Skogens helsetilstand påvirkes i stor grad av klima og værforhold, enten direkte ved tørke, frost og vind, eller indirekte ved at klimaet påvirker omfanget av soppsykdommer og insektangrep. Klimaendringene og den forventede økningen i klimarelaterte skogskader gir store utfordringer for forvaltningen av framtidas skogressurser. Det samme gjør invaderende skadegjørere, både allerede etablerte arter ... -

Mot alle odds - Muslimske kvinnebokseres identitetsforhandlinger i spenningsfeltet mellom frihet, tilhørighet og innesperring
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-12)Formålet med denne artikkelen er å synliggjøre hvordan muslimske kvinneboksere forhandler sin identitet i situasjoner hvor de stadig må håndtere motstand og store konflikter, fordi de velger å være boksere. Ved å velge en identitet som bokser støter de mot normer om hvordan unge muslimske kvinner kan opptre i det offentlige rom. Gjennom kroppsliggjøring av sin tro, utfordrer de hvordan en bokser ... -
Distinct patterns of soluble leukocyte activation markers are associated with etiology and outcomes in precapillary pulmonary hypertension
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-29)Activation of inflammatory processes has been identified as a major driver of pulmonary vascular remodeling that contributes to the development of precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH). We hypothesized that circulating markers of leukocyte activation, reflecting monocytes/macrophages (sCD163, sCD14), T-cells (sCD25) and neutrophils (myeloperoxidase [MPO], neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin ... -

Risky positioning–social aspirations and risk-taking behaviour in avalanche terrain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-09)We test if positionality, i.e., the desire to gain social status, is associated with an increased willingness to take risk among backcountry riders. If positional preferences drive risk-taking behaviour in avalanche terrain, this is especially problematic because the stakes are high and can be fatal. Our analysis is based on data for hypothetical choices from an online survey (N = 648) in North ... -
A brain and a head for a different habitat: Size variation in four morphs of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (L.)) in a deep oligotrophic lake
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-25)Adaptive radiation is the diversification of species to different ecological niches and has repeatedly occurred in different salmonid fish of postglacial lakes. In Lake Tinnsjøen, one of the largest and deepest lakes in Norway, the salmonid fish, Arctic charr (<i>Salvelinus alpinus</i> (L.)), has likely radiated within 9,700 years after deglaciation into ecologically and genetically segregated ... -
