The occurrence of the invasive pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, Walbaum 1792) in Greenland was initially described in 2019 using social media to collect data on their presence. In this study we continue data collection through social media and initiate a monitoring program of the Kapisillit River in Southwest Greenland using snorkeling and environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding in 2020 and 2021. ...

Vegetated coastal marine ecosystems are projected to expand northwards in the Arctic due to climate change, but the mechanisms for this expansion are complex and nuanced. Macroalgal biomass in the littoral areas of Svalbard has been increasing, but data at the glacier fronts are very scarce. In this study, we use hydroacoustics and video validation from an unmanned surface vehicle to survey macroalgal ...

Low Trophic Aquaculture (LTA) is the farming of aquatic organisms such as primary producers (e.g., seaweeds) and primary consumers (e.g. bivalves). Despite recognition as a key pathway to the provision of sustainable food from the oceans, many forms of LTA around the Atlantic basin remain in the niche stage of socio-technical evolution. With governance regarded as a limiting factor to LTA development, ...

Substance-induced psychosis (SIP) is characterized by both substance use and a psychotic state, and it is assumed that the first causes the latter. In ICD-10 the diagnosis is categorized as and grouped together with substance use disorders, and to a large extent also treated as such in the health care system. Though criticism of the diagnostic construct of SIP dates back several decades, numerous ...

Bakgrunn: Sosiale medier spiller en stadig større rolle i hverdagen vår. Tilgjengeligheten bidrar til at gravide og kvinner som nylig har født, oppsøker sosiale medier for å innhente informasjon. Kvinner befinner seg i en sårbar tilstand gjennom svangerskapet og tiden etter fødselen. Det kan gjøre dem mer mottakelige for inntrykk. Skildringer i sosiale medier gir forventninger om hvordan kvinnekroppen ...

Background Care transitions are high-risk processes, especially for people with complex or chronic illness. Discharge letters are an opportunity to provide written information to improve patients’ self-management after discharge. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of discharge letter content on unplanned hospital readmissions and selfrated quality of care transitions among patients ...

The current study investigated if Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation (BEMER) therapy is affecting subjective sleep among a sample of 21 elite female football players in a Norwegian top series club. Subjective sleep was measured each day over a period of 273 consecutive days by using a smartphone application, PM Reporter Pro, which scheduled push messages to remind the participants to report ...

<p><i>Research questions</i> The primary objective of this doctoral dissertation is an explorative investigation into the social network dynamics within eight high schools, located in Tromsø and Balsfjord (North Norway), and the extent to which these dynamics contribute to the overall health and well-being of the students, such as in the context of infectious disease spread and the transmission of ...

Background/Objectives: Physical trauma may cause long-term disabilities. The importance of place of residence in the return to work after injuries is little researched. The primary aims of this study were to describe return to work or school (RTW) at 6 and 12 months after moderate to severe traumatic injury and to investigate demographic and injury-related predictors for RTW with an initial focus ...

Over the past five decades, DNA restriction enzymes have revolutionized biotechnology. While these enzymes are widely used in DNA research and DNA engineering, the emerging field of RNA and mRNA therapeutics requires sequence-specific RNA endoribonucleases. Here, we describe EcoToxN1, a member of the type III toxin-antitoxin family of sequence-specific RNA endoribonucleases, and its use in RNA and ...
