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, ...
Causes and Risk Factors of Breast Cancer, What Do We Know for Sure? An Evidence Synthesis of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-20)
Breast cancer affected more than 2.3 million women in 2022 and is the most diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. The incidence rates are greater in developed regions and are significantly higher among women with higher education and socioeconomic status. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the way women live their lives may impact their risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer. This ...
Computer-Aided Optimisation in Additive Manufacturing Processes A State of the Art Survey
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-15)
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a field with both industrial and academic significance. Computer-aided optimisation has brought advances to this field over the years, but challenges and areas of improvement still remain. Design to execution inaccuracies, void formation, material anisotropy, and surface quality are examples of remaining challenges. These challenges can be improved via some of the ...
Effect of Calanus finmarchicus Hydrolysate Inclusion on Diet Attractiveness for Whiteleg Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-13)
Shrimp feed formulations have moved towards less fish meal and more of the readily available and cheaper plant proteins. To counteract the lower attractiveness and palatability of plant proteins, feeds are supplemented with ingredients known to have chemoattractive properties that will increase feed intake. This study investigated the putative chemoattractive effect of Calanus finmarchicus hydrolysate, ...
Tromsø-konvensjonen om tilgang til det offentliges dokumenter
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-09)
Tromsø-konvensjonen er den første internasjonale konvensjon som sikrer allmennheten rett til innsyn i offentlige dokumenter. Konvensjonen trådte i kraft 1. desember 2020. Artikkelen analyserer de forpliktelser som følger av Tromsø-konvensjonen, med hovedvekt på de av bestemmelsene som kan tenkes å gi allmennheten en bedre posisjon enn hva som følger av det norske innsynsregelverket.
Experiments With Sea Spray Icing: Investigation of Icing Rates
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-11)
Sea spray icing on ships and marine structures depends on a complex correlation between metocean parameters and vessel characteristics. Sea spray icing rates have mostly been investigated and given as a function of general metocean parameters. The existing models suffer from the lack of experimental data. More experimental data are required for better prediction models and understanding of the icing ...
Tracing the Ontological Beliefs of Norwegian Educators Concerning Technology use in Early Childhood Education and Care
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-24)
Nested in the socio-cultural theory and the related concepts of dialogue in thinking (Mercer & Littleton, 2007) and dialogic teaching in classrooms (Mercer & Howe, 2012), this
study explored knowledge and technology as dynamic meaning-making processes in Norwegian early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings. Group-reflections from thirteen Norwegian early childhood educators and their ...
Open-door policy versus treatment-as-usual in urban psychiatric inpatient wards: a pragmatic, randomised controlled, non-inferiority trial in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-06)
Background - Open-door policy is a recommended framework to reduce coercion in psychiatric wards. However, existing observational data might not fully capture potential increases in harm and use of coercion associated with open-door policies. In this first randomised controlled trial, we compared coercive practices in open-door policy and treatment-as-usual wards in an urban hospital setting. We ...
Maximizing sampling efficiency to detect differences in fish community composition using environmental DNA metabarcoding in subarctic fjords
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-14)
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has gained popularity as a tool for ecosystem biomonitoring and biodiversity assessment. Although much progress has been made regarding
laboratory and fieldwork protocols, the issue of sampling efficiency requires further
investigation, particularly in three-dimensional marine systems. This study focuses
on fish community composition in marine ecosystems and aims to analyze ...
The role of entrenchment and schematisation in the acquisition of rich verbal morphology
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-30)
Entrenchment and schematisation are the two most important cognitive
processes in language acquisition. In this article, the role of the two processes,
operationalised by token and type frequency, in the production of overgeneralised
verb forms in Croatian preschool children is investigated using a parental ques tionnaire and computational simulation of language acquisition. The participants ...
