The surveillance of patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in Norway, February 2020 – May 2022 : Systems comparisons, risk factors and clinical course
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-04-26)Bakgrunn: I Norge ble tre ulike system for overvåking av pasienter innlagt i sykehus med COVID-19 opprettet for å overvåke alvorligheten av pandemien. Ett var en aggregert, manuell innrapportering om belegg ved sykehusene, ... -
Evaluation of an interprofessional follow-up intervention among people with type 2 diabetes in primary care—A randomized controlled trial with embedded qualitative interviews
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)With an ageing population and improved treatments people live longer with their chronic diseases, and primary care clinics face more costly and difficult-to-treat multimorbid patients. To meet these challenges, current ... -
Effect of sense of coherence on long-term work participation among rehabilitation patients: A longitudinal study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective: To investigate the causal effect of sense of coherence on long-term work participation after rehabilitation, including stratification by age and diagnoses. Design: Longitudinal cohort study. Participants: ... -
Case Report: Limbic encephalitis following treatment with durvalumab for small-cell lung cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-16)Background: Durvalumab is an immune checkpoint Inhibitor (ICIs) that is used in the treatment of malignant tumors, such as lung cancer and melanoma. ICIs are associated with immune-related adverse events including autoimmune ... -
The Connections Among Hamming Metric, b-Symbol Metric, and r-th Generalized Hamming Metric
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The r -th generalized Hamming metric and the b -symbol metric are two different generalizations of Hamming metric. The former is used on the wire-tap channel of Type II, and the latter is motivated by the limitations of ... -
Classes of intersection digraphs with good algorithmic properties
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)While intersection graphs play a central role in the algorithmic analysis of hard problems on undirected graphs, the role of intersection digraphs in algorithms is much less understood. We present several contributions ... -
Parameterized complexity of categorical clustering with size constraints
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023) -
Diverse collections in matroids and graphs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We investigate the parameterized complexity of finding diverse sets of solutions to three fundamental combinatorial problems. The input to the Weighted Diverse Bases problem consists of a matroid M, a weight function ω : ... -
Can Romeo and Juliet meet? Or rendezvous games with adversaries on graphs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We introduce the rendezvous game with adversaries. In this game, two players, Facilitator and Divider, play against each other on a graph. Facilitator has two agents and Divider has a team of k agents located in some ... -
The Platonism of Modern Physical Science: Historical Roots and “Rational Reconstruction”
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Perhaps the most influential historian of science of the last century, Alexandre Koyré, famously argued that the icon of modern science, Galileo Galilei, was a Platonist who had hardly performed experiments. Koyré has been ... -
TP53 mutation and human papilloma virus status as independent prognostic factors in a Norwegian cohort of vulva squamous cell carcinoma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Introduction: Vulva squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) develops through two separate molecular pathways—one involving high-risk human papilloma virus infection (HPV-associated), and the other without HPV infection (HPV-independent) ... -
CFD modelling of hydrogen and hydrogen-methane explosions – Analysis of varying concentration and reduced oxygen atmospheres
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This paper evaluates the predictive capabilities of the advanced consequence model FLACS-CFD for deflagrations involving hydrogen. Two modelling approaches are presented: the extensively validated model system originally ... -
Five-weight codes from three-valued correlation of M-sequences
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In this paper, for each of six families of three-valued m-sequence correlation, we construct an infinite family of five-weight codes from trace codes over the ring R = F2 + uF2, where u2 = 0. The trace codes have the ... -
The weight spectrum of two families of Reed-Muller codes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We determine the weight spectra of the Reed-Muller codes RM (m− 3, m) for m ≥ 6 and RM (m − 4, m) for m ≥ 8. The technique used is induction on m, using that the sum of two weights in RM (r −1, m−1) is a weight in RM (r, ... -
Association between relative age at school and persistence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in prospective studies: an individual participant data meta-analysis SIMBA study group
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background The youngest children in a school class are more likely than the oldest to be diagnosed with ADHD, but this relative age effect is less frequent in older than in younger school-grade children. However, no ... -
Benzene exposure and risk of lung cancer in the Norwegian Offshore Petroleum Worker cohort: a prospective case-cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objective The objective of our study was to examine whether occupational exposure to benzene is associated with lung cancer among males in the Norwegian Offshore Petroleum Workers cohort. Methods Among 25 347 male offshore ... -
Evidence for large land snail cooking and consumption at Border Cave c. 170–70 ka ago. Implications for the evolution of human diet and social behaviour
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Fragments of land snail (Achatinidae) shell were found at Border Cave in varying proportions in all archaeological members, with the exception of the oldest members 5 WA and 6 BS (>227,000 years ago). They were recovered ... -
Two sympatric lineages of Australian Cnestus solidus share Ambrosiella symbionts but not Wolbachia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Sympatric lineages of inbreeding species provide an excellent opportunity to investigate species divergence patterns and processes. Many ambrosia beetle lineages (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) reproduce by predominant inbreeding ... -
Music therapy spanning from NICU to home: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of Israeli parents’ experiences in the LongSTEP Trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction Music therapy (MT) is a part of standard care in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in many countries, and in some countries is provided as a post-discharge service as well. However, it is rare that preterm ... -
The impact of placental genomic risk for schizophrenia and birth asphyxia on brain development
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The placenta plays a role in fetal brain development, and pregnancy and birth complications can be signs of placental dysfunction. Birth asphyxia is associated with smaller head size and higher risk of developing schizophrenia ...
