Terje Tvedt og kontrakten med vitskapssamfunnet
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-06)Boka <i>Det internasjonale gjennombruddet</i> (2017) av Terje Tvedt har vekt stor debatt, særleg etter at boka <i>Norsk hamskifte</i> av Jostein Gripsrud kom ut hausten 2018. Ein siste utløpar av den debatten er Helge Pharo sin skarpe kritikk i <i>Historisk tidsskrift</i> 2/2019 og Tvedt sitt tilsvar i nummeret etter. Denne debatten er viktig, ikkje bare fordi den dreiar seg om sterke omformingskrefter ... -
PET imaging of the adenosine A2A receptor in the rotenone-based mouse model of Parkinson’s disease with [18F]FESCH synthesized by a simplified two-step one-pot radiolabeling strategy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-02)The adenosine A<sub>2A</sub> receptor (A<sub>2A</sub>R) is regarded as a particularly appropriate target for non-dopaminergic treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). An increased A<sub>2A</sub>R availability has been found in the human striatum at early stages of PD and in patients with PD and dyskinesias. The aim of this small animal positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging ... -
Rosuvastatin alters the genetic composition of the human gut microbiome
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-25)The gut microbiome contributes to the variation of blood lipid levels, and secondary bile acids are associated with the effect of statins. Yet, our knowledge of how statins, one of our most common drug groups, affect the human microbiome is scarce. We aimed to characterize the effect of rosuvastatin on gut microbiome composition and inferred genetic content in stool samples from a randomized controlled ... -
Impacts of a weir and power station on downstream migrating Atlantic salmon smolts in a German river
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-10)Weirs are barriers built across rivers for a wide range of other purposes than hydropower production. Like hydropower installations, weirs can negatively impact fish migrations. Downstream migration and mortality of Atlantic salmon smolts were studied during passage of a weir and power station by tagging 227 smolts with radio transmitters. Extra loss of smolts due to the weir and adjacent reservoir ... -
Measuring Wind Speed Using the Internal Stabilization System of a Quadrotor Drone
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-16)This article proposes a method of measuring wind speed using the data logged by the autopilot of a quadrotor drone. Theoretical equations from works on quadrotor control are utilized and supplemented to form the theoretical framework. Static thrust tests provide the necessary parameters for calculating wind estimates. Flight tests were conducted at a test site with laminar wind conditions with the ... -
Two-photon absorption in host-guest complexes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-17)We present an extensive analysis of one- and two-photon absorption processes in some organic host-guest (H-G) complexes using linear and quadratic response theory within the framework of time-dependent density functional theory. For this purpose, we have considered all possible 20 host-guest complexes constructed from 4 host and 5 guest molecules. We have analysed how the one- and two-photon activity ... -
Stretching the Rule of Law: How the Norwegian resistance movement influenced the provisional treason decrees of the exile government, 1944-1945
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-16)This article examines the role of the Norwegian resistance movement ‘Hjemmefronten’ (the Home Front, HF) as a political interest group during the exile government’s formulation of provisional laws meant for the postwar reckoning with Norwegian collaborators and foreign war criminals. The article argues that the resistance through its judicial committee in Oslo had a decisive impact on the final ... -
Multiphysics Analysis of CFRP Charpy Tests by varying Temperatures
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites have emerged as a major class of structural materials that have a significant potential use as a substitute for metals in aerospace, marine, automotive, and architecture due to their higher-strength-to-weight-ratio. CFRP is well suited for various applications, but their mechanical properties such as ‘low-velocity impact resistance’ are not well ... -
Towards reconceptualising teacher education for English: Benefits and challenges of implementing a third space
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-13)One of the long-lasting challenges in teacher education for English is that students in English struggle with transforming their academic knowledge (theory) into classroom practice and desire a more practice-integrated course design. The present article discusses and evaluates a teaching strategy, in an attempt to provide more practice-based English courses, which intends to adopt the emerging ... -
Acritarchs from the Duolbagáisá Formation (Cambrian Series 2-Miaolingian) on the Digermulen Peninsula, Finnmark, Arctic Norway: towards a high-resolution Cambrian chronostratigraphy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-24)New information on acritarchs from the Duolbagáisá Formation, Digermulen Peninsula, Arctic Norway, enable recognition of the three Cambrian Series 2 acritarch-based zones: the <i>Skiagia ornata–Fimbriaglomerella membranacea, Heliosphaeridium dissimilare–Skiagia ciliosa and Volkovia dentifera–Liepaina plana</i> Assemblage zones. Acritarchs of the <i>Skiagia ornata–Fimbriaglomerella membranacea</i> ... -
Physical activity, cardiovascular risk factors, and mortality in ethnic groups in the Arctic region of Norway Results from two population-based studies: The Finnmark 3 study 1987-1988 and SAMINOR 1 2003-2004
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-07-02)På verdensbasis er hjerte-og karsykdommer en av hovedårsakene til for tidlig død, og fokus på forebyggende tiltak er viktig. Selv om de positive helseeffektene av fysisk aktivitet er godt dokumentert, er det mangelfull kunnskap om sammenhengen mellom fysisk aktivitet, risikofaktorer for hjerte-og karsykdom og død hos urfolk, som eksempelvis samer, som lever under krevende klimatiske forhold i den ... -

Electron heating by HF pumping of high-latitude ionospheric F-region plasma near magnetic zenith
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-06)High-frequency electromagnetic pumping of ionospheric F-region plasma at high and mid latitudes gives the strongest plasma response in magnetic zenith, antiparallel to the geomagnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere. This has been observed in optical emissions from the pumped plasma turbulence, electron temperature enhancements, filamentary magnetic field-aligned plasma density irregularities, and ... -
