Practices and Attitudes Concerning Endometriosis Among Nurses Specializing in Gynecology.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-24)
Endometriosis is a chronic disease affecting approximately 10% of fertile women. These women often have negative health
care experiences. This study adds new knowledge about endometriosis care in a hospital setting and nurses’ attitudes toward
the disease. To explore how the personal attitudes of gynecological nurses, their specialized knowledge, and their clinical
experiences influenced the way ...
A FOOTnote to the Jers: The Russian Trochee-Iamb Shift and Cognitive Linguistics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
This article explores the fall and vocalization of the jers, making ve claims. First, it is shown how the jer shift can be analyzed in terms of a trochaic pa ern, whereby a jer fell unless it headed a foot. Second, the foot-based approach is argued to be superior to the traditional counting mechanism postulated for the jer shift in that the foot-based approach avoids ad hoc stipulations and facilitates ...
Global cortical thinning in acute anorexia nervosa normalizes following long-term weight restoration
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-22)
<b>Background:</b> Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious eating disorder characterized by selfstarvation,
extreme weight loss and alterations in brain structure. Structural magnetic
resonance imaging (sMRI) studies have documented brain volume reductions in acute AN,
but it is unclear whether they are 1) regionally-specific or 2) reversible following weight
restoration. Here, we measured cortical ...
A stochastic programming approach with improved multi-criteria scenario-based solution method for sustainable reverse logistics design of Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-17)
Today, the increased public concern for sustainable development and more stringent environmental regulations have become the most important driving forces for value recovery from end-of-life and end-of use products through reverse logistics. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) contains both valuable components that need to be recycled and hazardous substances that have to be properly ...
On the measurement of procrastination: Comparing two scales in six European countries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-31)
Procrastination is a common problem, but defining and measuring it has been subject to
some debate. This paper summarizes results from students and employees (N = 2893)
in Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, and Sweden using the Pure Procrastination
Scale (PPS) and the Irrational Procrastination Scale (IPS; Steel, 2010), both assumed
to measure unidimensional and closely related constructs. ...
An improved multi-objective programming with augmented ε-constraint method for hazardous waste location-routing problem
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-31)
Hazardous waste location-routing problems are of importance due to the potential risk for nearby residents and the environment. In this paper, an improved mathematical formulation is developed based upon a multi-objective mixed integer programming approach. The model aims at assisting decision makers in selecting locations for different facilities including treatment plants, recycling plants and ...
Secular trends and correlates of physical activity: The Tromsø Study 1979-2008
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-03)
<b>Background: </b>The aim was to describe secular trends in leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and work related
physical activity (WPA) from 1979 to 2008. Additionally, we explored potential cross-sectional and longitudinal
correlates of LTPA and WPA.<br>
<b>Methods:</b> Data are collected from 34,898 individuals (49.7% men) aged >20 years who participated in at least one
Tromsø Study survey ...
Processes of user participation among formal and Family caregivers in home-based care for persons with dementia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-04)
Scandinavian health policy supports prolonged home-based care for people with dementia.
User participation is expected to reduce family burden. The aim of this study was to explore
how formal and family caregivers experience collaboration while providing home-based
dementia care, with a focus on user participation. Seventeen qualitative in-depth interviews
were conducted among formal and family ...
Epidemiology and health related quality of life in hypoparathyroidism in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-17)
<b>Objective:</b> The epidemiology of hypoparathyroidism (HP) is largely unknown. We aimed to determine
prevalence, etiologies, health related quality of life (HRQOL) and treatment pattern of HP.<br>
<b>Methods:</b> Patients with HP and 22q11 deletion syndrome (DiGeorge syndrome) were identified in
electronic hospital registries. All identified patients were invited to participate in a survey. ...
Factors associated with maternal serum levels of perfluoroalkyl substances and organochlorines: A descriptive study of parous women in Norway and Sweden
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-08)
<b>Introduction</b><br>
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and organochlorines (OCs) are ubiquitous and persistent
in the environment and proposed endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). They can be
transferred across the placenta during pregnancy, and studies suggest that the prenatal
period may be particularly sensitive for influences on fetal growth and development. Several
studies have ...
