Background: Taking fewer than the widely promoted “10 000 steps per day” has recently been associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality. The relationship of steps and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk remains poorly described. A meta-analysis examining the dose–response relationship between steps per day and CVD can help inform clinical and public health guidelines. Methods: Eight prospective ...

I denne artikkelen analyserer vi framstillinga av transmotivet i bildeboka Ollianna (Dahle & Nyhus, 2020) og drøfter hvilke forestillinger om barn og barndom som ligger til grunn. Særlig undersøker vi om framstillinga av trans- og cispersonene i Ollianna er normativ, og i hvilken grad boka bidrar til å utfordre eller opprettholde eksisterende kjønnsnormer. Analysen undersøker hvordan boka skildrer ...

Groundwater from alluvial aquifers is a critical source of water supply for rural agriculture, particularly in semi-arid and arid regions. Effective management of these aquifers requires an understanding of the factors that influence their water resources. In this study, we present a case study of the Tata watershed in southeastern Morocco, where the economy is heavily dependent on agriculture and ...

With growing urbanization and increasing world population, energy demand also increases. A significant portion of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels, and these sources of energy are declining rapidly at the current consumption rate. There are also growing environmental concerns on the use of fossil fuels increasing greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, renewable energy (RE) shows promising ...

Living species vary significantly in phenotype and genomic content. Sophisticated statistical methods linking genes with phenotypes within a species have led to breakthroughs in complex genetic diseases and genetic breeding. Despite the abundance of genomic and phenotypic data available for thousands of species, finding genotype-phenotype associations across species is challenging due to the ...

Målet for denne masteroppgaven er å undersøke hvordan matematisk kompetanse kommer til uttrykk i samhandling blant elever på 1. trinn. Problemstillingen er: «Hvordan uttrykker elever på 1. trinn matematisk kompetanse når de samhandler i en konstruksjonsaktivitet?». I undersøkelsen av dette har jeg gjennomført en kvalitativ enkeltcasestudie. Jeg har benyttet videoopptak som datainnsamlingsmetode for ...

Biometric and health related data collected through automated features in smartphones and wearables can provide researchers with valuable information about the population. This thesis explores the possibilities of extracting data from Apple and Samsung wearable devices like watches and smartphones where native built-in support for data extraction and third-party data storage is not available. Doing ...

Migraine is a recurrent headache disorder that afflicts significant portions of the global population. There is no current cure and migraines are mainly managed through symptomatic medical treatments and manual biofeedback routines. Automated data collection and prediction of migraine attacks through machine learning could be viable approaches for helping migraineurs and for reducing the impact of ...

In today's digital landscape where cloud-oriented approaches are widespread and an integral part, local-first software emerges to offer an alternative. It addresses concerns such as data control, privacy, offline capabilities, collaboration, and performance. The open-source relational database engine SQLite is a fitting candidate for local-first software as it is not reliant on network connectivity. ...

Atferdsvansker er blant de mest utfordrende problemene i skolen og blant vanskene som forekommer oftest. Atferdsvansker er et ettertraktet tema som berører lærernes daglige utøvelse av deres yrkesprofesjon, og krever en sammensatt forståelse, kunnskaper og handlingskompetanse for å imøtekomme skolens verdigrunnlag og prinsipper som skal ivareta elevene. Masterprosjektets søkelys rettes mot læreres ...
