Maternal alloimmunization to paternally inherited antigens on fetal/neonatal platelets can cause fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) after antibody-mediated removal of platelets from the fetal circulation. The complications vary from mild bleeding symptoms to severe intracranial hemorrhage and subsequent neurological impairment or death. Studies on <i>in vivo</i> mechanisms are ...

Character values are not the easiest to calculate, so it is important to find good algorithms that can help ease these calculations. In the 20th century, the two mathematicians Murnaghan and Nakayama developed a rule that calculates character values for partitions on some computations. This rule has later been given the name The Murnaghan-Nakayama rule, after these two authors. The Murnaghan-Nakayama ...

This study has investigated the muscle growth of diploid and triploid Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) juveniles raised in replicate tanks over a period of 29 weeks and analysed at three sampling points (February, June and September).

The aims of this study were to investigate whether MSCs reported at baseline influence all-cause and cause-specific mortality during 21 years follow-up of a general Northern Norwegian adult population. Methods A total of 26,977 ...

The article argues that we legitimise the use of nature through cultural nature rationales. We adapt our understanding of nature to how we want to use it in a cultural sense. The material for the discussion is equine husbandry, using a past and contemporary perspective. The treatment of the horses that Robert Falcon Scott brought with him on his south pole expedition in 1910–1912, and the treatment ...

The notion of a connection between autism and music is as old as the first reported cases of autism, and music has been used as a therapeutic tool for many decades. Music therapy holds promise as an intervention for individuals with autism, harnessing their strengths in music processing to enhance communication and expression. While previous randomized controlled trials have demonstrated positive ...

Problemstillingen for denne masteravhandlingen er: «Hvilke matematiske kompetanser viser og utvikler elever på linjen for Musikk, dans og drama i et tverrfaglig undersøkende prosjekt innen musikk og matematikk?» Jeg har i oktober 2016 gjennomført en kvalitativ studie med min egen klasse, som da gikk andre året på linjen for Musikk, dans og drama ved Narvik videregående skole. Studien bygger videre ...

Temaet for denne oppgaven er de livskarrierene deltakerne i prosjektet Musikk i fengsel og frihet har generert, og hvilken habiliterende effekt den musikalske kompetansen de tilegner seg gjennom deltakelsen har. Gjennom informantenes livshistorier får vi et innblikk i hvordan livet deres har utviklet seg og noen av de utfordringene de har møtt underveis. Hvem er de? Hvordan blir de møtt i samfunnet? ...
