Terminology Matters! Why Difference Is Not Incompleteness and How Early Child Bilinguals Are Heritage Speakers.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
This paper integrates research on child simultaneous bilingual (2L1) acquisition more
directly into the heritage language (HL) acquisition literature. The 2L1 literature mostly focuses
on development in childhood, whereas heritage speakers (HSs) are often tested at an endstate in
adulthood. However, insights from child 2L1 acquisition must be considered in HL acquisition
theorizing precisely ...
Quality of care for remote orthopaedic consultations using telemedicine: A randomised controlled trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-08)
Background: Decentralised services using outreach clinics or modern technology are methods to reduce both patient transports and costs to the healthcare system. Telemedicine consultations via videoconference are one such modality. Before new technologies are implemented, it is important to investigate both the quality of care given and the economic impact from the use of this new technology. The aim ...
A flexural isostasy model for the Pleistocene evolution of the Barents Sea bathymetry
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-24)
The topographic relief of the Barents Sea was subjected to major changes during the past 1.5 million years mostly due to sediment redistribution
driven by glacial activity. This paper addresses the problem of Pleistocene bathymetric evolution of the southern Barents Sea using a numerical
modelling approach that considers the influence of regional isostasy on relief development. The model presented ...
Drop in lung function during asthma and COPD exacerbations – can it be assessed without spirometry?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-08)
Background: When assessing patients with exacerbation of asthma or COPD, it may be useful to know the drop in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) compared with stable state, in particular when considering treatment with oral corticosteroids. The objective of the study was to identify indicators of drop in FEV1 during exacerbations.
Methods: In this prospective multicenter study from primary ...
Analysis of the immune microenvironment in resected non-small cell lung cancer: The prognostic value of different T lymphocyte markers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
The prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains poor and heterogeneous and new biomarkers are needed. As the immune system plays a pivotal role in cancer, the study of immune-related markers may provide valuable prognostic information of NSCLC. In 122 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue samples from early-stage NSCLC, tumor and tumor-near stromal areas were microdissected and ...
The presence of intraepithelial CD45RO+ cells in resected lymph nodes with metastases from NSCLC patients is an independent predictor of disease-specific survival
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-07)
background: Operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients whose tumours have spread to regional or central lymph nodes at the time of diagnosis have dismal prognoses compared with those who have limited disease. The current TNM staging system for NSCLC poorly distinguishes patients with lymph-node metastases who will succumb to, and those who will eventually be cured from, their disease. ...
Characterization of Norwegian women eating wholegrain bread
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-25)
To investigate dietary and non-dietary characteristics of wholegrain bread eaters in the Norwegian Women and Cancer study.<br>Cross-sectional study using an FFQ.<br>Women were divided into two groups according to wholegrain bread consumption.<br>Adult women (n 69 471).<br>Median daily consumption of standardized slices of wholegrain bread was 2·5 in the low intake group and 4·5 in the high intake ...
Direct-to-chip liquid cooling for reducing power consumption in a subarctic supercomputer centre
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
Reduction of data centre power consumption is a timely challenge. Waste heat reuse is another focus area when developing energy efficient and sustainable data centres. And these two issues are interconnected through liquid cooling of server racks and/or direct-to-chip liquid cooling. Both of these solutions make it possible to transfer a significant proportion of the waste heat energy back to ...
Targeted redox inhibition of protein phosphatase 1 by Nox4 regulates eIF2a-mediated stress signaling
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-07)
Phosphorylation of translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) attenuates global protein synthesis but enhances translation of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) and is a crucial evolutionarily conserved adaptive pathway during cellular stresses. The serine–threonine protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) deactivates this pathway whereas prolonging eIF2α phosphorylation enhances cell survival. Here, we show ...
Combined emergency preparedness and operations for safe personnel transport to offshore locations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-19)
Long distances, sparse infrastructure, and adverse environmental conditions make the offshore emergency preparedness system in the High North a big and yet unsolved challenge. This applies in particular to the personnel transport between onshore bases and offshore facilities, which is usually conducted by helicopters. One of the issues to be solved is the sufficient coverage with emergency response ...
