This chapter outlines the development of “The Ocean Senses Activity Book” integrating a multisensory approach to ocean education for pupils and the general public. Originating from an expedition in the Arctic Ocean, the project aimed to cultivate more effective cognitive approaches to ocean literacy education and communication. It bridged the gap between scientific exploration and public engagement, ...

This chapter frames marine sustainability within ongoing global and regional initiatives in lifelong learning and adult education. The authors of this chapter argue that to achieve the ambitious targets set out in the SDGs, our adult population must be able to recognise, engage with, and act upon economic, social, and environmental challenges. The authors of this chapter present the many barriers ...

This thesis focuses on participation in physical activity among adults with intellectual disabilities. The aim is to explore motivation, the use of mobile health applications, and identify barriers to participation in physical activity. The thesis sought to understand why some individuals engage in physical activity while others do not, and how technology can help increase activity levels. In the ...

Innen ikke-småcellet lungekreft (NSCLC) forskes det på en potensiell synergistisk effekt av kombinasjonen av angiogenesehemmere og immunterapi (med eller uten kjemoterapi). Immunterapi ansees som en av de største nyvinningene innen kreftbehandling, imidlertid vil ikke alle pasientgrupper dra nytte av behandlingen. Man tenker at angiogenesehemmere kan fremme antitumoreffekter via oppregulering av ...

Background: Both children and adolescents often express musculoskeletal pain without a clear somatic cause. The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain has been shown to be increasing. Additionally, there has been described a sharp rise in prevalence of so-called adverse childhood experiences (ACE), and studies have shown that musculoskeletal pain may be related to different ACE. The aim of this study ...

Grain-size end-member (EM) modelling is a robust statistical approach for identifying and quantifying dominant grain-size distributions. This approach provides a novel perspective for understanding the impact of interactions between depositional processes in complex sedimentary environments. This study examines grain-size distributions of six glacimarine sediment cores collected along an Nsingle ...

The Klebsiella pneumoniae Species Complex (KpSC) is an important group of human pathogens, of which, Klebsiella pneumoniae is most clinically important and frequently associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). K. pneumoniae gastrointestinal tract (GIT) colonisation is a key infection risk factor and hub for AMR dissemination. Here we investigated and compared the ZKIR-qPCR and whole metagenomic ...

Denne teksten reflekterer over kvalitet i høyere utdanning av kunstnere. I kjernen av utforskningen bruker forfatteren sine egne erfaringer fra undervisning av kunststudenter. Ved å koble egne erfaringer med ulike kontekster og teorier om utdanning og læring, historisk så vel som samtidig, hevder forfatteren at en kunstnerutdanning må forberede studentene på det uforutsigbare og uforutsette. Derfor ...

Metoden «Fangstskadeindeks» for sensorisk kvalitetsvurdering og registrering av ulike skader som kan oppstå på torsk under fangst og håndtering av torsk er tidkrevende. Det vil være en fordel om slik kvalitetsvurdering kan gjøres instrumentelt. De fleste av fangstskadene medfører bloduttredelser i muskelen, og en aktuell instrumentell metode kan derfor være hyperspektral avbildning som kan ...
