Data driven or data informed? How general practitioners use data to evaluate their own and colleagues’ clinical work in clusters
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-29)In contemporary policy discourses, data are presented as key assets for improving health-care quality: policymakers want health care to become ‘data driven’. In this article, we focus on a particular example of this ambition, namely a new Danish national quality development program for general practitioners (GPs) where doctors are placed in so-called ‘clusters’. In these clusters, GPs are obliged ... -
Graphic novels as counter-stories: Jerry Craft’s New Kid as a way to teach critical racial awareness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-28)Artikkelen undersøker Jerry Crafts grafiske roman New Kid (2019) med utgangspunkt i Critical Race Theory (CRT). CRT-forskere hevder at rasisme er et strukturelt fenomen som påvirker alle områder av det offentlige livet, blant annet utdanning. New Kid er basert på autobiografiske erfaringer av å være ‘african american’ på en hovedsakelig hvit eliteskole i USA og kan derfor leses som en ‘counter-story’ ... -
Accurate Computation of Thermodynamic Activation Parameters in the Chorismate Mutase Reaction from Empirical Valence Bond Simulations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-19)Chorismate mutase (CM) enzymes have long served as model systems for benchmarking new methods and tools in computational chemistry. Despite the enzymes’ prominence in the literature, the extent of the roles that activation enthalpy and entropy play in catalyzing the conversion of chorismate to prephenate is still subject to debate. Knowledge of these parameters is a key piece in fully understanding ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-07)A special case of the bivariate renewal process is investigated. It is supposed, that this process is considered while the second component has a positive value. The algorithm for a calculation of the corresponding time’s density is presented. In addition, a case of preventive renewal is considered. Such renewal takes place when the value of the second component is positive but is less than a fixed ... -
Decolonizing Higher Education: Rationales and Implementations from the Subject of Music History
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-10-25)In addition to ongoing territorial and material re-organization of power as a result of 19th-century European colonialism, there has been an increasing focus on decolonializing knowledge practices in higher education. Research communities are discussing what it could mean to decolonize thining practices, conditions of knowledge creation, and access to higher education. Since the arts are a powerful ... -

Label-free super-resolution optical microscopy
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-02-06)To see structures well below 200 nm using visible light, super-resolution techniques have been developed. Most of these techniques rely on fluorescence labelling or use of artificial materials to go beyond the Abbe limit. Therefore, achieving super-resolution in the label-free regime is the problem that is being addressed in this thesis. In this work, high-index contrast dielectric waveguides are ... -

Evaluating of melting-ice process in a vertical pipe with consideration of net sensible heat
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-19)In ice-melting process, motion of liquid–solid interface is complicated due to moving boundary, which is also called Stefan interface problem. Although the Stefan model has been widely utilized, it frequently overestimates the melting rate. In the present study, the net-sensible-heat of the phases are taken into account as an additional physical effect to the Stefan model for one-phase case and ... -
Wavelet neural networks versus wavelet-based naural networks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)This is the first paper in a sequence of studies including also [#!llhm2022!#] and [#!llhm2022_1!#] in which we introduce a new type of neural networks (NNs) – wavelet-based neural networks (WBNNs) – and study their properties and potential for applications. We begin this study with a comparison to the currently existing type of wavelet neural networks (WNNs) and show that WBNNs vastly outperform ... -
A Qualitative Evaluation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Short Form of the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-13) in Nepali
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background - Sense of Coherence (SOC) relates to an individual’s overall life orientation, and stronger SOC is associated with better health, quality of life, and coping strategies. When our research group used the SOC-13 questionnaire for the first time in Nepal, we identified difficulties in response patterns. The findings necessitated further evaluation of the Nepali version of the SOC-13 ... -
Echoes from Intrinsic Connectivity Networks in the Subcortex
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-27)Decades of research have greatly improved our understanding of intrinsic human brain organization in terms of functional networks and the transmodal hubs within the cortex at which they converge. However, substrates of multinetwork integration in the human subcortex are relatively uncharted. Here, we leveraged recent advances in subcortical atlasing and ultra-high field (7 T) imaging optimized for ... -
Physical exercise augmented cognitive behaviour therapy for older adults with generalised anxiety disorder (PEXACOG): a feasibility study for a randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-19)Background Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is a frequent and severe disorder among older adults. For older adults with GAD the effect of the recommended treatment, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), is reduced. Physical exercise (PE) may enhance the effect of CBT by improving cognitive function and increasing levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a predictor of the effect of CBT ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-05)Non-technical summary. Scenarios compatible with the Paris agreement’s temperature goal of 1.5 °C involve carbon dioxide removal measures – measures that actively remove CO<sub>2</sub> from the atmosphere – on a massive scale. Such large-scale implementations raise significant ethical problems. Van Vuuren et al. (2018), as well as the current IPCC scenarios, show that reduction in energy and or ... -
