Speilvendte klasserom kan bidra til bedre akademiske prestasjoner i høyere økonomisk utdanning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
En lærer på en handelshøyskole speilvendte klasserommet («flipped the
classroom») på et stort innføringskurs i bedriftsøkonomi i et forsøk på å skape
mer tilfredse førsteårsstudenter, redusere strykprosenten og oppnå bedre
karakterer. I grove trekk fant speilvendingen sted ved at de tradisjonelle
muntlige monologene (forelesningene) ble komprimert til spissformulerte
videoer og distribuert til ...
Validity of self-reported myocardial infarction and stroke in regions with Sami and Norwegian populations – The SAMINOR 1 survey and the CVDNOR project
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-02)
<b>Objective:</b> Updated knowledge on the validity of selfreported
myocardial infarction (SMI) and self-reported
stroke (SRS) is needed in Norway. Our objective was to
compare questionnaire data and hospital discharge
data from regions with Sami and Norwegian
populations to assess the validity of these outcomes by
ethnicity, sex, age and education.<br>
<b>Design:</b> Validation study using ...
Methods and background characteristics of the TOHNN study: a population-based study of oral health conditions in northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-19)
<b>Objectives.</b> The aim of the Tromstannen Oral Health in Northern Norway (TOHNN) study was to
investigate oral health and dental-related diseases in an adult population. This article provides an overview of
the background of the study and a description of the sample characteristics and methods employed in data
collection.<br>
<b>Study design. </b>Cross-sectional population-based study ...
Fibroblast miR-210 overexpression is independently associated with clinical failure in Prostate Cancer – a multicenter (in situ hybridization) study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-08)
There is a need for better prognostication in prostate cancer (PC). “The micromanager of hypoxia”,
microRNA-210 (miR-210) is directly linked to hypoxia, is overexpressed in PC and has been implied
in tumor cell-fibroblast crosstalk. We investigated the prognostic impact of miR-210 in tumor cells
and fibroblasts in PC. Tumor and stromal samples from a multicenter PC cohort of 535 prostatectomy
patients ...
Establishing Shared Knowledge about Globalization in Asia and the Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-29)
Shared knowledge about globalization in the Arctic is driven, in part, by economic growth in Asia and by increasing interaction between Arctic
communities and Asian academics, businesses, civil society organizations, and governments engaged in Arctic political, economic, and scientific
development.1
Shared knowledge that is produced by Arctic communities and Asian actors is necessary for ...
Report of the Workshop on Age Estimation in Monodontids
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
The workshop was a 2-day event organised immediately before the Society for Marine Mammalogy biennial conference in Tampa. NAMMCO funding enabled participation of 4 invited experts and also supported the organization and logistics associated with the workshop. The breadth and depth of the workshop presentations made it clear that most issues concerning monodontid age estimation are not unique. Many ...
Evidence for ice-free summers in the late Miocene central Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-04)
Although the permanently to seasonally ice-covered Arctic Ocean is a unique and sensitive
component in the Earth’s climate system, the knowledge of its long-term climate history remains
very limited due to the restricted number of pre-Quaternary sedimentary records. During Polarstern
Expedition PS87/2014, we discovered multiple submarine landslides along Lomonosov Ridge. Removal of
younger ...
FITC conjugation markedly enhances hepatic clearance of N-formyl peptides
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-05)
In both septic and aseptic inflammation, N-formyl peptides may enter the circulation and
induce a systemic inflammatory response syndrome similar to that observed during septic
shock. The inflammatory response is brought about by the binding of N-formyl peptide to
formyl peptide receptors (FPRs), specific signaling receptors expressed on myeloid as well
as non-myeloid cells involved in the ...
Monitoring and analyzing of circadian and ultradian locomotor activity based on Raspberry-Pi
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-15)
A new device based on the Raspberry-Pi to monitor the locomotion of Arctic marine invertebrates and to analyze chronobiologic data has been made, tested and deployed. The device uses infrared sensors to monitor and record the locomotor activity of the animals, which is later analyzed. The software package consists of two separate scripts: the first designed to manage the acquisition and the evolution ...
CHA2DS2-VASc score, left atrial size and atrial fibrillation as stroke risk factors in the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-01)
Objective:<br> CHA2DS2-VASc score, left atrial (LA) size and atrial fibrillation (AF) have individually been associated with stroke risk. Our aim was to investigate the predictive ability of combinations of these factors for the odds of incident stroke in a population-based cohort study.<br>
Methods:<br> We followed 2844 participants from the Tromsø Study from 1994 to 2012. Information on LA size ...
