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 ...

<p>Introduction: The association between respiratory support and lung disease is known. This study analysed the duration of different respiratory managements for preterm infants born before week 28 and between week 28-31 and preterm infants with BPD. Regional differences were also evaluated. <p>Materials and methods: a nationwide population-based registry study, and the data is gathered from ...

Technology and innovations have been rapidly evolving and infiltrating almost every aspect of human lives. These innovations have allowed humanity to excel in unprecedented manners. State, market, and culture form the basis of a society, and Big Tech companies have now captured all. Through online surveillance, political advertising online, and algorithmic targeting, there have been serious implications ...

Tema for avhandlingen er hvorvidt Etterretningstjenestens foreslåtte adgang til å benytte overvåkningsmetoden "tilrettelagt innhenting", er i tråd med de menneskerettslige kravene etter Den europeiske menneskerettighetskonvensjonen (EMK) artikkel 8.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate a manual sperm sorting method (Swim-up) and a non-invasive microfluidics method (Zymot microfluidics) with emphasis on formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA fragmentation as objective measurements of spermatozoa quality. Standard phase contrast imaging of spermatozoa was compared with quantitative phase contrast microscopy (QPM) ...

The human polyomavirus BKPyV infects most people worldwide and establishes a lifelong persistent infection in the renourinary tract. The virus rarely gives symptoms in healthy people, but it can cause severe disease under certain immunocompromised states. Despite its high prevalence, our knowledge about how the virus evades host immunity and persists still poor. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) ...

Atmospheric methane oxidizing bacteria (atmMOB) are the only known organisms that can consume methane (CH₄) directly from the air. Therefore, they are referred to as biological CH₄ sink. CH₄ is a potent greenhouse gas, and its increasing atmospheric concentration accelerates global warming. By consuming the CH₄ from the air, atmMOB mitigate global warming. ...
