Sexual health at 5 years after diagnosis of head and neck cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-24)
Purpose - Sexual health (SH) is an emerging concern in the assessment of quality of life in patients surviving head and neck cancer (HNC). Using data from the French National Prospective VICAN Survey, this study aimed to assess SH deterioration five years after HNC diagnosis and related factors.<p>
<p>Methods - Using univariate and multivariate analyses were performed in the 241 HNC survivors. ...
Comparison of the efficiency and modes of capture of biodegradable versus nylon gillnets in the Northeast Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-01)
Modern gillnets are usually made of nylon with high breaking strength, suitable elasticity and durability making
them an efficient fishing gear. Lost, abandoned, or discarded gillnets at sea cause plastic pollution and can
continue capturing marine animals over long periods of time. Biodegradable materials are being developed to
replace nylon in gillnets. However, biodegradable gillnets have shown ...
Use of biodegradable materials to reduce marine plastic pollution in small scale coastal longline fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-14)
Pollution from lost, abandoned, or discarded fishing gear is recognized as a global nature conservation concern.
Longlining with hooks is a commonly applied fishing method in fisheries around the world. The longline gear
consists of a mainline with a number of baited hooks that are attached to it by thinner twine (snoods) which are
often made of plastic material such as polyamide (nylon) or ...
Can biodegradable materials reduce plastic pollution without decreasing catch efficiency in longline fishery?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-23)
Longlining is a widely used fishing method. During longline fishing, some of the snoods connecting the hooks to
the mainline are often lost at sea. Since snoods are made of nylon or polyester, lost snoods contribute to marine
plastic pollution. Replacing nylon or polyester with a new material made of biodegradable plastics can potentially reduce macro- and microplastic pollution that is caused by ...
Associations between cognitive test scores and pain tolerance: The Tromsø study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-18)
The aim of this study is to assess this relationship in a large
population-based sample.<p>
<p>Methods ‒ We included 5,753 participants (aged 40–84
years) from the seventh wave of the population-based
Tromsø Study who had been examined with cognitive tests
and experimental pain assessments, and for whom informa tion on covariates were available. Cox regression models
were fitted using standardized ...
NBR1: The archetypal selective autophagy receptor
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-18)
NBR1 was discovered as an autophagy receptor not long after the first described vertebrate autophagy receptor p62/SQSTM1. Since then, p62 has currently been mentioned in >10,000 papers on PubMed, while NBR1 is mentioned in <350 papers. Nonetheless, evolutionary analysis reveals that NBR1, and likely also selective autophagy, was present already in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA), while ...
Teleological reasoning bias is predicted by pupil dynamics: Evidence for the extensive integration account of bias in reasoning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-28)
Teleological reasoning is the tendency for humans to see purpose and intentionality in natural phenomena when there is none. In this study, we assess three
competing theories on how bias in reasoning arises by examining performance on
a teleological reasoning task while measuring pupil size and response times. We
replicate that humans (N=45) are prone to accept false teleological explanations.
Further, ...
Is it cognitive effort you measure? Comparing three task paradigms to the Need for Cognition scale
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-17)
Measuring individual differences in cognitive effort can be elusive as effort is a function of
motivation and ability. We report six studies (N = 663) investigating the relationship of Need
for Cognition and working memory capacity with three cognitive effort measures: demand
avoidance in the Demand Selection Task, effort discounting measured as the indifference
point in the Cognitive Effort ...
Petrochronology of the Dom Feliciano Belt foreland in southernmost Brazil reveals two distinct tectonometamorphic events in the western central Kaoko–Dom Feliciano–Gariep orogen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-26)
The Dom Feliciano Belt is the South American part of an extensive Neoproterozoic orogenic system that developed during the late Cryogenian–early Cambrian close to the margin of southwest Gondwana. The link of its evolution with the tectonic processes in its African counterpart is still not well understood. P–T estimates, Lu–Hf garnet–whole-rock ages, U–Pb monazite SIMS ages and REE garnet and monazite ...
Degree of multilingual engagement modulates resting state oscillatory activity across the lifespan
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-04)
Multilingualism has been demonstrated to lead to a more favorable trajectory of neurocognitive aging, yet our understanding of its effect on neurocognition across the lifespan remains limited. We collected resting state EEG recordings from a sample of multilingual individuals across a wide age range. Additionally, we obtained data on participant multilingual language use patterns alongside other ...
