In plastico: laboratory material newness affects growth and reproduction of Daphnia magna reared in 50-ml polypropylene tubes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-20)
Plastic laboratory materials are found to affect vital parameters of the waterflea Daphnia magna. The main responsible factor is defined as “newness” of the materials. Juvenile D. magna were raised individually in; a) new laboratory-standard 50 ml polypropylene tubes, and; b) identical tubes which had been washed and aerated for several weeks. Newness had significant effects on growth and fecundity ...
The Blue–Violet Color of Pentamethylbismuth: A Visible Spin-Orbit Effect
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-22)
Two-component relativistic time-dependent density functional
theory calculations with spin-orbit coupling predict yellow and
orange–red absorption for BiPh5 and BiMe5, respectively, providing
an excellent explanation for their respective violet and
blue–violet colors. According to the calculations, the visible absorption
is clearly attributable to a single transition from
a ligand-based HOMO ...
Sources and turnover of organic carbon and methane in fjord and shelf sediments off Northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-22)
To better understand the present and past carbon cycling and transformation processes in
methane-influenced fjord and shelf areas of northern Norway, we compared two sediment cores from the Hola trough and from Ullsfjorden. We investigated (1) the organic matter composition and sedimentological characteristics to study the sources of organic carbon (C<sub>org</sub>) and the factors influencing ...
Expanding the unit of analysis from firms to supply networks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-22)
Purpose: There is strong interest in new supply chain management
(SCM) constructs as contemporary academic writers call for more theory and more
multidisciplinary research. There is, however, little guidance on how to develop relevant
SCM constructs, and one problem is that current SCM research addresses
different units of analysis, ranging from transactions to entire supply networks. The
choice ...
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and the urinary tract: A murmansk county birth registry study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-02)
BACKGROUND: Congenital anomalies of the kidney and the urinary tract (CAKUTs) are relatively common birth defects. The combined prevalence in Europe was 3.3 per 1000 in 2012. The risk factors for these anomalies are not clearly identified. The aims of our study were to calculate the birth prevalences of urinary malformations in Murmansk County during 2006 to 2011 and to investigate related prenatal ...
Local and transnational networking among female immigrant entrepreneurs in peripheral rural contexts: Perspectives on Russians in Finnmark, Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-25)
Social networks are vital to the start-up and development of new businesses. In immigrant entrepreneurship research, the key role of co-ethnic networks has been particularly highlighted. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the networking practices of immigrants who start businesses in a rural context where co-ethnic communities do not exist. In order to address this gap, this article highlights ...
What hat are you wearing? On the multiple roles of fishery scientists in the ICES community
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-29)
Trends towards a more participatory agenda in policy-relevant science imply that the roles and work tasks of scientists become more multifaceted. In Europe, the increased use of multiannual plans creates a need for fishery scientists to contribute with their expertise in a wide variety of situations. We identify and characterize four roles for scientists as <i>developers</i>, <i>reviewers</i>, ...
Måleegenskaper ved den norske versjonen av Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-03-04)
Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) ble første gang publisert i USA i 1995 (Mullen, 1995) som en test for å
kartlegge kognitive evner hos barn i alderen 0-68 mnd. Forlaget Pearson eier rettighetene til testen og er også
forhandler av den. Det finnes ingen norsk manual for testen. Testen består av til sammen fem skalaer som
kartlegger barnets grovmotorikk, visuelle oppfattelse, finmotorikk, ...
Alginate microsphere compositions dictate different mechanisms of complement activation with consequences for cytokine release and leukocyte activation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-16)
The inflammatory potential of 12 types of alginate-based microspheres was assessed in a human whole blood model. The inflammatory potential could be categorized from low to high based on the four main alginate microsphere types; alginate microbeads, liquefied core poly-l-ornithine (PLO)-containing microcapsules, liquefied core poly-l-lysine (PLL)-containing microcapsules, and solid core PLL-containing ...
Materialist Perspectives on Digital Technologies: Informing Debates on Digital Literacy and Competence
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-15)
The present article brings critical media research and science and technology studies (STS) into dialogue with approaches to digital literacy and digital competencies in educational contexts. In particular, it focuses on material aspects of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as technical infrastructure, economic conditions, ecological consequences, and code-based as well as ...
