The most common triplet therapy is either Bortezomib-Cyclophosphamide-Dexamethasone (VCD), Bortezomib-Lenalidomide-Dexamethasone ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-16)
The COVID-19 pandemic had negative effects on many people's well-being and quality of life. In the present work, we focused on Norwegian mothers with elementary school children, and investigated whether their well-being, stress, and worries (and the relationships between them) changed across the early months of the pandemic. We collected data at two time points in 2020. In June 2020, 231 mothers ...
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family access to continuity of health care services in the first 1000 days of life: a systematic review of the literature
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-03)
Background - Aboriginal women and their infants experience significant disadvantage in health outcomes compared to their non-Aboriginal counterparts. Access to timely, effective and appropriate maternal and child healthcare can contribute to reducing these existing health disparities. However, accessing mainstream healthcare services often results in high levels of fear and anxiety, and low attendance ...

Consequentialism and Its Demands: The Role of Institutions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-17)
Consequentialism is often criticized as being overly demanding, and this overdemandingness is seen as sufficient to reject it as a moral theory. This paper takes the plausibility and coherence of this objection—the Demandingness Objection—as a given. Our question, therefore, is how to respond to the Objection. We put forward a response relying on the framework of institutional consequentialism we ...

Literacy overrides effects of animacy: A picture-naming study with pre-literate German children and adult speakers of German and Arabic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-17)
Animacy plays a key role for human cognition, which is also reflected in the way humans process language. However, while experiments on sentence processing show reliable effects of animacy on word order and grammatical function assignment, effects of animacy on conjoined noun phrases (e.g., fish and shoe vs. shoe and fish) have yielded inconsistent results. In the present study, we tested the ...
Biodegradable plastics in Mediterranean coastal environments feature contrasting microbial succession
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-08)
Plastic pollution of the ocean is a top environmental concern. Biodegradable plastics present a potential “solution” in combating the accumulation of plastic pollution, and their production is currently increasing. While these polymers will contribute to the future plastic marine debris budget, very little is known still about the behavior of biodegradable plastics in different natural environments. ...
Is the diet cyclic phase-dependent in boreal vole populations?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-17)
Herbivorous rodents in boreal, alpine and arctic ecosystems are renowned for their
multi-annual population cycles. Researchers have hypothesised that these cycles may
result from herbivore–plant interactions in various ways. For instance, if the biomass
of preferred food plants is reduced after a peak phase of a cycle, rodent diets can be
expected to become dominated by less preferred food plants, ...
