The aim of this study was to elucidate operating room nurses’ and operating room nursing students’ experiences and opinions about execution of and compliance with checklists.

In the Devonian–Carboniferous, a rapid succession of clustered extensional and contractional tectonic events is thought to have affected sedimentary rocks in central Spitsbergen, Svalbard. These events include Caledonian post-orogenic extensional collapse associated with the formation of thick Early–Middle Devonian basins, Late Devonian–Mississippian Ellesmerian contraction, and Early–Middle ...

Hovedfokuset i artikkelen er å analysere tidligere forskningsresultater når det gjelder misligheter og bruk av granskingsekspert i revisjonsprosessen for å svare på tre relevante spørsmål: (1) Kan bruk av granskingsekspert hjelpe revisjonsteamet med å oppdage misligheter? (2) Hvordan kan en granskingsekspert hjelpe revisor med å identifisere mislighetsrisikofaktorer? Og (3) i hvilken grad bør en ...

This empirical article investigates multimodality in English as a foreign language, both as seen in the use of multimodal texts as artefacts and pedagogical texts for learning, and through an analysis of the multimodal learning designs. We present observations from a year 10 classroom in Norway that worked with the novel <i>The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian</i> (Alexie, 2007). We explore ...

Red cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE), but the underlying mechanism(s) is unclear. Iron deficiency is associated with high RDW, and studies suggest an association between iron deficiency and VTE. To assess whether iron deficiency is a risk factor for VTE that explains the association between RDW and VTE, we conducted a nested case-control study of 390 ...

Through the construction of a socio-ecological timeline for the Porsanger fjord ecosystem, this article illustrates the different ways in which environmental and social–ecological changes have influenced the adaptations of rural households in coastal Sami communities in Finnmark, north Norway. The main finding is that, although environmental change in the form of seal invasions and dwindling ...

The Nordmøre grid and the sieve panel are two of the main devices used to reduce fish bycatch in trawl fisheries targeting shrimp species. However, even when using such devices, some small-sized fish enter the codend of the trawl together with the targeted shrimp. Therefore, bycatch reduction remains a problem in some shrimp fisheries. One such fishery is the Northeast Atlantic deep-water shrimp ...

Fokuset på rekruttering av fosterhjem i slekt er styrket som et resultat av dagens politiske og juridiske føringer, og antallet slektsfosterhjem øker. Fordi mange fosterforeldre i slektsfosterhjem har egne barn betyr dette at flere barn kommer til å vokse opp med fosterbarn fra samme familie. Hvordan barn av fosterforeldre opplever å mestre det å være fostersøsken har betydning for om en ...

Gender roles are formed in early childhood and continue to influence behavior through adolescence and adulthood, including the choice of academic majors and careers. In many countries, men are underrepresented in communal roles in health care, elementary education, and domestic functions (HEED fields, Croft et al., 2015), whereas women are underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering, ...
