A population based validation study of self-reported pensions and benefits: the Nord-Trøndelag health study (HUNT)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-23)Background: Measures of disability pensions, sickness certification and long-term health related benefits are often self-reported in epidemiological studies. Few studies have examined these measures, and the validity is ... -
Population distribution and ancestry of the cancer protective MDM2 SNP285 (rs117039649)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-18)The MDM2 promoter SNP285C is located on the SNP309G allele. While SNP309G enhances Sp1 transcription factor binding and MDM2 transcription, SNP285C antagonizes Sp1 binding and reduces the risk of breast-, ovary- and ... -
Population dynamic modeling to further improve the understanding of the impact of the level of the Proportion of Illegally Killed Elephants (PIKE) on elephant populations at a Monitoring of Illegal Killing of Elephants (MIKE) site in Kenya.
(Master thesis, 2021-08-17)Elephants play an important role in ecosystem function and help maintain suitable habitats for many other species as well as maintain ecosystem health. However, African Elephant populations have declined by 60% over the ... -
Population dynamic regulators in an empirical predator-prey system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Capelin (Mallotus villosus) is a short-lived (1–4 years) fish species, that plays a crucial role by dominating the intermediate trophic level in the Barents Sea. Several episodes of extreme biomass decline (collapse) have ... -
Population dynamics and characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae from healthy poultry in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-18)Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important opportunistic pathogen widely studied in relation to human infection and colonization. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding other niches that K. pneumoniae may inhabit. K. ... -
Population genetic structure of the glacier lanternfish, Benthosema glaciale (Myctophidae) in Norwegian waters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)It is hypothesised that the fjords with restricted water circulation may partially isolate fish populations living there. The pelagic life history stages of the mesopelagic lanternfish may potentially subject to dispersal ... -

Population genetics of Saccharina latissima (sugar kelp) in Norway
(Master thesis, 2019-05-01)The interest in cultivating sugar kelp, Saccharina latissima in Norway is increasing and therefore knowledge about the population genetics of this species is important. A total of 345 samples were genotyped from sixteen ... -
Population impact of factors associated with prevalent pulmonary tuberculosis in Tanzania
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-10)SETTING: Tanzania has an estimated tuberculosis (TB) prevalence of 295 per 100 000 adult population. There is currently no nationally representative information on factors associated with TB in Tanzania. OBJECTIVE: To ... -
Population pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in kidney transplant recipients - A model for individual dosing
(Master thesis, 2012-11-01)Background: Population pharmacokinetics is the study of pharmacokinetic variability in the population. One goal of such studies is to improve individual drug treatment by identifying relationships between pharmacokinetic ... -
Population prevalence and inheritance pattern of recurrent CNVs associated with neurodevelopmental disorders in 12,252 newborns and their parents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Recurrent copy number variations (CNVs) are common causes of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and associated with a range of psychiatric traits. These CNVs occur at defined genomic regions that are particularly prone ... -
Population processes in cyber system variability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Variability is inherent to cyber systems. Here, we introduce ideas from stochastic population biology to describe the properties of two broad kinds of cyber systems. First, we assume that each of N0 components can be in ... -
