“Back to Eden”: An explorative qualitative study on traditional medicine use during pregnancy among selected women in Lusaka Province, Zambia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background and purpose: No qualitative study on traditional medicine use among Zambian pregnant women has ever been conducted. Accordingly, this study was performed to explore the perceptions, motivations and experiences ... -
Back to the basics of polar expeditions: personality hardiness, fear, and nutrition in polar environments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The present paper aims at presenting an overview of findings relating personality hardiness to adaptation to polar environments. Several studies from the Operational Psychology Research group at the University of Bergen ... -
Background removal from global auroral images: Data driven dayglow modelling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Global images of auroras obtained by cameras on spacecraft are a key tool for studying the near-Earth environment. However, the cameras are sensitive not only to auroral emissions produced by precipitating particles, but ... -
Backpacker hotspots: Cultural and social change of place and identity. A study from Taganga, Colombia
(Master thesis, 2010-02-01)This study examines the social and cultural impacts of backpacker tourism in a small coastalColombian village. The national security in Colombia has improved much the last decade andTaganga has hence been established as a ... -
Backward evaluation in peer assessment: A scoping review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Implementing backward evaluation as part of the peer assessment process enables students to react to the feedback they receive on their work within one peer assessment activity cycle. The emergence of online peer assessment ... -
Bacteraemia among severely malnourished children infected and uninfected with the human immunodeficiency virus-1 in Kampala, Uganda
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-11-07)Background: To establish the magnitude of bacteraemia in severely malnourished children, and describe the types of bacteria and antimicrobial sensitivity by HIV status. Method: Isolates were recovered from 76 blood specimens. ... -
Bacteraemia, Malaria, and Case Fatality Among Children Hospitalized With Fever in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: Febrile illness is the commonest cause of hospitalization in children <5 years in sub-Saharan Africa, and bacterial bloodstream infections and malaria are major causes of death. Methods: From March 2017 to ... -
Bacteria and fungi in acute cholecystitis. A prospective study comparing next generation sequencing to culture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives: Guidelines for antibiotic treatment of acute cholecystitis are based on studies using culture techniques for microbial identification. Microbial culture has well described limitations and more comprehensive ... -
The bacterial aetiology of pleural empyema. A descriptive and comparative metagenomic study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objectives: The view of pleural empyema as a complication of bacterial pneumonia is changing because many patients lack evidence of underlying pneumonia. To further our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms, we ... -
Bacterial biofilms on the kelp Laminaria hyperborea
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-03-23)This thesis deals with bacterial communities in biofilms on the surfaces of the kelp Laminaria hyperborea and their roles in carbon cycling. Kelp forests are characterized by high biodiversity and productivity, and cycling ... -
Bacterial community composition responds to changes in copepod abundance and alters ecosystem function in an Arctic mesocosm study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Combining a minimum food web model with Arctic microbial community dynamics, we have suggested that top-down control by copepods can affect the food web down to bacterial consumption of organic carbon. Pursuing this ... -
Bacterial Community Profiling of Tropical Freshwaters in Bangladesh
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Seasonal and spatial variations in the bacterial communities of two tropical freshwater sources in Bangladesh, Lake Dhanmondi in central Dhaka, and a pond in the outskirts of Dhaka, were assessed and compared using PCR-DGGE ... -
Bacterial community structures in the Arctic Ocean: the effect of increased carbon load on nutrient competition and bacterial diversity
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-06-29)The Arctic Ocean is a unique marine environment with respect to irradiation periodicity and intensity, temperature, ice formation and strong stratification. Changes due to global warming might be more pronounced in this ... -
Bacterial contamination of coffee and personal exposure to inhalable dust and endotoxin in primary coffee processing factories in Ethiopia
