Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a highly contagious respiratory illnesses, has globally impacted mental health. This study aims to investigate the association between intolerance of uncertainty and depressive symptoms during the pandemic in New York, USA, considering COVID-19-related worries as modifiers and mediators.<p> <p>Method: 1227 participants from three ongoing cohort ...

<p><i>Background</i> There is a growing recognition of multidisciplinary practices as the most rational approach to providing better and more efficient healthcare services. Pharmacists are increasingly integrated into primary care teams, but there is no universal approach to implementing pharmacist services across healthcare settings. In Norway, most pharmacists work in pharmacies, with very few ...

Denne kvalitative dokumentanalysen tar for seg 21 lærerplaner mellom år 1739 og 2020. Hensikten er å finne ut hvordan statistikk, sannsynlighet og kombinatorikk har kommet til uttrykk i norske læreplaner for grunnskolen. Dokumentanalyse foretok seg alle læreplaner/lover som hadde en innvirkning på grunnskolen eller tilsvarende alder før grunnskolens eksistens. Kun de 6 siste læreplanene for ...

The aquaculture sector is in pursuit of sustainable and cost-effective raw materials for feed, and the copepod Calanus finmarchicus is a marine zooplankton species of commercial interest because of its high abundance in northern areas. These copepods have the potential to meet the demand for vast quantities of marine raw materials. However, the lack of an energy- and catch-efficient trawl technology ...

In mammals, maternal photoperiodic programming (MPP) provides a means whereby juvenile development can be matched to forthcoming seasonal environmental conditions.^1–4 This phenomenon is driven by in utero effects of maternal melatonin^5–7 on the production of thyrotropin (TSH) in the fetal pars tuberalis (PT) and consequent TSH receptor-mediated effects on tanycytes lining ...

Type I interferons (IFN–I) play a pivotal role in vertebrate innate immunity against viruses. This study is an analysis of IFN-I genes in an updated version of the Atlantic salmon genome published in 2021 (version Ssal_v3.1), revealing 47 IFN-I genes in the Atlantic salmon genome. The GH1 locus of chromosome (Chr) 3 harbors 9 IFNa genes, 5 IFNb genes, 6 IFNc genes, 11 IFNe genes and 1 IFNf gene. ...

The Lesser Caucasus, situated between Asia and Europe, has long been recognised as a key region for the study of human evolution in terms of the timing and routes of dispersal, as well as, ecological adaptations. In particular, scholars have argued whether stable environments persisted in the region throughout the last glaciation, serving as a refugium for temperate biota, likely attracting human ...

Denne oppgaven viser at det er mulig å gjøre differensiell fotometri av ∂-Scuti stjerner med rimelig god presisjon ved Skibotn observatorium. Den høyeste presisjonen som ble oppnådd i C1-C2 var 28 mmag. Sammenligningen av den beste natten fra Skibotn med en god natt fra FG Vir kampanjen (året før) viser at muligheten er til stede for å oppnå gode resultater. En bekreftelse på dette fikk vi da to av ...

Circulating testosterone is easily aromatized to estradiol and reduced to dihydrotestosterone in target tissues and elsewhere in the body. Thus, the actions of testosterone can be mediated either by the estrogen receptors, the androgen receptor or by simultaneous action at both receptors. To determine the role of androgens acting at the androgen receptor, we need to eliminate actions at the ...

A full-F, isothermal, electromagnetic, gyro-fluid model is used to simulate plasma turbulence in a COMPASS-sized, diverted tokamak. A parameter scan covering three orders of magnitude of plasma resistivity and two values for the ion to electron temperature ratio with otherwise fixed parameters is setup and analysed. Two transport regimes for high and low plasma resistivities are revealed. Beyond ...
