Public libraries in Norway and the Covid-19 pandemic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)Public libraries have played a central role in natural disasters such as the tornado in the Gulf of Mexico in 2004/2005 and the tsunami in the Tohoku region of Japan in 2011, but also in the financial crisis from 2008. While public libraries in these crises took on a very active role in providing shelter and infrastructure for their citizens, health crises seem to tell a different story. The Covid-19 ... -
Global maps of soil temperature
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-29)Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic ... -

Måleegenskaper ved den norske versjonen av Olweus spørreskjema om mobbing (Olweusundersøkelsen)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)Olweus spørreskjema om mobbing for elever ble utviklet på 1980-tallet og brukes til å kartlegge mobbing i skolen basert på elevers selvrapportering. I Norge brukes skjemaet først og fremst i grunnskolen på 4. til 10. trinn. Skjemaet ble utviklet på norsk, men er senere oversatt til flere språk, inkludert engelsk: The Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ; Olweus, 1986) og The Revised Olweus ... -
Randomized Trial of Interleukin-6 Receptor Inhibition in Patients With Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-12)<p><i>Background - </i>Prompt myocardial revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reduces infarct size and improves outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, as much as 50% of the loss of viable myocardium may be attributed to the reperfusion injury and the associated inflammatory response. <p><i>Objectives - </i>This study sought ... -
Endovascular thrombectomy and intra-arterial interventions for acute ischaemic stroke
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-14)<p><i>Background - </i>Most disabling strokes are due to a blockage of a large artery in the brain by a blood clot. Prompt removal of the clot with intra‐arterial thrombolytic drugs or mechanical devices, or both, can restore blood flow before major brain damage has occurred, leading to improved recovery. However, these so‐called endovascular interventions can cause bleeding in the brain. This is a ... -
The psychometric properties and norm data of the Norwegian military personality inventory (NMPI)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-16)The five-factor structure is a well-established model for personality. The five traits covary with job-performance and work-relevant outcomes. The practical administration of existing big-five measurement scales is, however, somewhat limited, in a Norwegian setting, as existing scales are impractically large or have unknown psychometric properties. Because of this, a new brief Norwegian personality ... -
Dietary advanced glycation end-products and colorectal cancer risk in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition (EPIC) study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-08)Dietary advanced glycation end-products (dAGEs) have been hypothesized to be associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) by promoting inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and oxidative stress in the colonic epithelium. However, evidence from prospective cohort studies is scarce and inconclusive. We evaluated CRC risk associated with the intake of dAGEs in the European Prospective ... -
An artificial neural network approach integrating plasma proteomics and genetic data identifies PLXNA4 as a new susceptibility locus for pulmonary embolism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-07)Venous thromboembolism is the third common cardiovascular disease and is composed of two entities, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and its potential fatal form, pulmonary embolism (PE). While PE is observed in~ 40% of patients with documented DVT, there is limited biomarkers that can help identifying patients at high PE risk. To fll this need, we implemented a two hidden-layers artifcial neural ... -

Deep Semisupervised Teacher–Student Model Based on Label Propagation for Sea Ice Classification
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-14)In this article, we propose a novelteacher–student-based label propagation deep semisupervised learning (TSLP-SSL) method for sea ice classification based on Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar data. For sea ice classification, labeling the data precisely is very time consuming and requires expert knowledge. Our method efficiently learns sea ice characteristics from a limited number of labeled samples ... -
Dietary fatty acids, macronutrient substitutions, food sources and incidence of coronary heart disease: Findings from the EPIC-CVD case-cohort study across nine european countries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-07)BACKGROUND: There is controversy about associations between total dietary fatty acids, their classes (saturated fatty acids [SFAs], monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids), and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Specifically, the relevance of food sources of SFAs to CHD associations is uncertain.<p> METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a case-cohort study involving 10 529 ... -
A single-cell type transcriptomics map of human tissues
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-28)Advances in molecular profiling have opened up the possibility to map the expression of genes in cells, tissues, and organs in the human body. Here, we combined single-cell transcriptomics analysis with spatial antibodybased protein profiling to create a high-resolution single–cell type map of human tissues. An open access atlas has been launched to allow researchers to explore the expression of ... -
Deepened snow enhances gross nitrogen cycling among Pan-Arctic tundra soils during both winter and summer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-10)Many Arctic regions currently experience an increase in winter snowfall as a result of climate change. Deepened snow can enhance thermal insulation of the underlying soil during winter, resulting in warmer soil temperatures that promote soil microbial nitrogen (N)-cycle processes and the availability of N and other nutrients. We conducted an <i>ex situ</i> study comparing the effects of deepened ... -
Building adaptive capacity in a changing arctic by use of technology
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12)Rapid Arctic warming, manifested as thawing permafrost, loss of coastal sea ice, sea level rise, and climate-related extreme events, is particularly challenging for Indigenous people relying on wild food to sustain their livelihood and culture. The adoption of new technologies could provide specific capabilities to confront vulnerabilities associated with fishing and hunting activities, but it could ... -

Heavy decline of the largest European Arctic Skua Stercorarius parasiticus colony: interacting effects of food shortage and predation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-24)Capsule: The number of breeding pairs of Europe’s largest Arctic Skua Stercorarius parasiticus colony at Slettnes, Norway, showed a dramatic decline of at least 50% over two decades, with food shortage in four years and increasing predation by Red Fox Vulpes vulpes leading to total breeding failure in five out of six recent study years.<p> Aims: To document the decline of Europe’s largest Arctic ... -
Some New Fourier and Jackson–Nikol’skii Type Inequalities in Unbounded Orthonormal Systems
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-16)We consider the generalized Lorentz space L_ψ,q defined via a continuous and concave function ψ and the Fourier series of a function with respect to an unbounded orthonormal system. Some new Fourier and Jackson-Nikol’skii type inequalities in this frame are stated, proved and discussed. In particular, the derived results generalize and unify several well-known results but also some new applications ...
