Modern growing economy and technology require metals. Therefore mining is an unavoidable process. Mining in its turn results in the production of large amounts of mine waste. This research is focused on one type of mine waste, mine tailings, formed after the processing of Cu-sulphides deposits. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a consequence of the oxidation of sulphide-rich rocks and has a drastic impact ...

We review three long‐term research programs performed over the last four decades on the ecology and management of oligotrophic lake systems with different fish communities at 69&deg; N in Norway. Through whole‐lake perturbation experiments, intensive culling of stunted fish removed 35 tons (1984–1991) of Arctic charr <i>Salvelinus alpinus</i> in Takvatn (15 km²) and 153 tons (1981–1983, ...

In “The Crisis in Education,” published in 1954, Hannah Arendt suggests that adults who refuse to take responsibility for the world should not be allowed to educate children or to have children of their own. Her text describes the “general crisis,” which, according to Arendt, “has overtaken the modern world everywhere and in almost every sphere of life,” including education (Arendt, 2006, p. 170). ...

As hospitals transition from paper to electronic medication charts, an opportunity exists to ‘nudge’ prescribers to document medication indications by making this data-entry field mandatory. The aim of this study was to explore hospital doctors’ perceptions of mandatory documentation of indications in an electronic medication management (EMM) system. Ten junior doctors took part in brief semi-structured ...

<p><i>Background - </i>This study addresses whether existing transcriptional profiles can improve and support the current definition of UC in remission apart from the today existing endoscopic, histological and laboratory scoring systems. <p><i>Methods - </i>Mucosal biopsies from treatment-naïve UC patients (<i>n</i> = 14), healthy controls (<i>n</i> = 16), and UC patients in remission (<i>n</i> = ...

<p><i>Objective - </i>To describe changes in cardiovascular risk factors and in the estimated 10-year risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or cerebral stroke (CS) between SAMINOR 1 (2003–2004) and SAMINOR 2 (2012–2014), and explore if these changes differed between Sami and non-Sami. <p><i>Design - </i>Two cross-sectional surveys. <p><i>Setting - </i>Inhabitants of rural Northern Norway. < ...

<p><i>Background - </i>Community-dwelling persons with dementia commonly use dietary supplements (DS), often without receiving help with the administration. Patient safety is a concern, as DS-drug interactions and adverse events are potential complications. Since many persons with dementia buy their DS in pharmacies, we investigated Norwegian pharmacy employees’ attitudes and professional practice ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been proposed to be able to modulate different cognitive functions. However, recent meta‐analyses conclude that its efficacy is still in question. Recently, an increase in subjects’ propensity to mind‐wander has been reported as a consequence of anodal stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Axelrod et al., Proceedings of the National ...

In this article I argue that the structural conditions of global capitalism and postcolonialism encourage game developers to rearticulate hegemonic memory politics and suppress subaltern identities. This claim is corroborated via an application of Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky’s propaganda model to the Japanese-developed video game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This case study highlights ...
