Quality of life among women with symptomatic, screen-detected, and interval breast cancer, and for women without breast cancer: a retrospective cross-sectional study from Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Purpose: Breast cancers detected at screening need less aggressive treatment compared to breast cancers detected due to symptoms. The evidence on the quality of life associated with screen-detected versus symptomatic breast ... -
Quality of life among young people in Norway during the COVID‑19 pandemic. A longitudinal study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In this study, we aimed to examine health-related quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic among a general sample of young people in Norway aged 11–19 years. More specifically, we examine: (1) Change over 2 time-points ... -
Quality of life in home-dwelling cancer patients aged 80 years and older: a systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objective Quality of Life (QoL) in elderly cancer patients is a topic that has been little explored. This systematic review aims to identify, assess, and report the literature on QoL in home-dwelling cancer patients aged ... -
Quality of life in men and women with heart failure: association with outcome, and comparison between the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and the EuroQol 5 dimensions questionnaire
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aims We sought to analyse quality of life (QoL) measures derived from two questionnaires widely used in clinical trials, the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) and the EuroQoL 5 dimensions (EQ-5D), and to ... -
Quality of Life in Vulnerable Older Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Receiving Palliative Chemotherapy—The Randomized NORDIC9-Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Bowel cancer is one of the leading cancer-types in both sexes worldwide. Despite that most new cases and deaths occur in people aged 70 years or older, few clinical trials have investigated the best way to administer ... -
Quality of life of women living with metastatic breast cancer and receiving palliative care: A systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The quality of life (QoL) of women living with metastatic breast cancer and receiving palliative care needs more attention. We reviewed published studies (1992–2019) examining QoL of women receiving palliative care. The ... -
Quantification and uncertainty of root growth stimulation by elevated CO2 in a mature temperate deciduous forest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Increasing CO2 levels are a major global challenge, and the potential mitigation of anthropogenic CO2 emissions by natural carbon sinks remains poorly understood. The uptake of elevated CO2 (eCO2) by the terrestrial ... -
Quantification of CH4 Hydrate Film Growth Rates in Micromodel Pores
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In this paper, we report the growth pattern and the rate of CH4 hydrate in sandstone pores. A high-pressure, water-wet, transparent micromodel with pores resembling a sandstone rock was used to visualize CH4 hydrate formation ... -
Quantification of Cold-Ion Beams in a Magnetic Reconnection Jet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Cold (few eV) ions of ionospheric origin are widely observed in the lobe region of Earth’s magnetotail and can enter the ion jet region after magnetic reconnection is triggered in the magnetotail. Here, we investigate a ... -
Quantification of grazing efficacy, growth and health score of different lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) families: possible size and gender effects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)To investigate the possible family influence on sea lice grazing of lumpfish on Atlantic salmon, ten families of lumpfish (N = 480) with a mean (± SD) weight of 54.8 ± 9.2 g were distributed among ten sea cages (5 × 5 × 5 ... -
Quantification: theoretical perspectives
(Chapter, 2021)The study of quantificational expressions is one of the central domains in the field of natural language semantics. Probably every language has means of expressing quantification, but quantifiers in natural languages are ... -
Quantifying auditory impressions in dreams in order to assess the relevance of dreaming as a model for psychosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A long noted hypothesis is that mechanisms of dreaming play a role in psychotic hallucinations. One challenge for this hypothesis is that while psychotic hallucinations primarily are auditory, dreaming most characteristically ... -
Quantifying Dynamical Proxy Potential Through Shared Adjustment Physics in the North Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Oceanic quantities of interest (QoIs), for example, ocean heat content or transports, are often inaccessible to direct observation, due to the high cost of instrument deployment and logistical challenges. Therefore, ... -
Quantifying Errors in Observationally Based Estimates of Ocean Carbon Sink Variability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Reducing uncertainty in the global carbon budget requires better quantification of ocean CO2 uptake and its temporal variability. Several methodologies for reconstructing air-sea CO2 exchange from pCO2 observations indicate ... -
Quantifying over information change with common knowledge
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Public announcement logic (PAL) extends multi-agent epistemic logic with dynamic operators modelling the effects of public communication. Allowing quantification over public announcements lets us reason about the existence ... -
Quantifying prior model complexity for subsurface reservoir models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In Bayesian approaches to history matching for subsurface inference, the prior model specifies the uncertain model parameters and the joint probability of those parameters before incorporating production-related data. A ... -
Quantifying the Lobe Reconnection Rate During Dominant IMF By Periods and Different Dipole Tilt Orientations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Lobe reconnection is usually thought to play an important role in geospace dynamics only when the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) is mainly northward. This is because the most common and unambiguous signature of lobe ... -
Quantifying the roles of seed dispersal, filtering, and climate on regional patterns of grassland biodiversity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Seed dispersal and local filtering interactively govern community membership and scale up to shape regional vegetation patterns, but data revealing how and why particular species are excluded from specific communities in ... -
Quantifying the Stable Water Isotopologue Exchange Between the Snow Surface and Lower Atmosphere by Direct Flux Measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Surface processes in high latitudes play an important role in global climate and thus understanding the physics of these systems is critical for improving climate projections. The characterization of the stable water ... -
Quantitative assessment of two oil-in-ice surface drift algorithms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The ongoing reduction in extent and thickness of sea ice in the Arctic might result in an increase of oil spill risk due to the expansion of shipping activity and oil exploration shift towards higher latitudes. This work ...
