(Master thesis, 2021-12-02)Health partnerships are increasingly becoming a global phenomenon in many areas of care. One such an area is in the trauma care and emergency medicine. There are high risks of trauma and emergency care related permanent ... -
The role of social media in the rise of the Mexican Social Movement #YoSoy132
(Master thesis, 2015-05-19)1) In which way were the social media used by the #YoSoy132 movement? In this question I am interested in looking at how the movement #YoSoy132 used social media as an emotional conduit. I will also look at the social ... -
Role of stem cells in regenerative treatment of dry eye disease caused by lacrimal gland dysfunction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)An ageing population and increased screen use in younger people have contributed to a rise in incidence of dry eye disease (DED). Quality of life can be significantly affected by DED, with patients experiencing eye dryness, ... -

(Master thesis, 2016-05-31)The Persons with Disability Act (PWDA) was passed in 2006, to address the needs of persons with disability in Ghana. The act's eight main provisions outline the respective areas in the lives of the persons with disability ... -
The role of stress in absenteeism: Cortisol responsiveness among patients on long-term sick leave.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-02)Objective: This study aimed to (1) See whether increased or decreased variation relate to subjective reports of common somatic and psychological symptoms for a population on long-term sick leave; and (2) See if this pattern ... -
The role of structural inheritance in the development of high-displacement crustal faults in the necking domain of rifted margins: The Klakk Fault Complex, Frøya High, offshore mid-Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-20)The role of inherited structures during the development of normal faults in continental rifts and proximal domains of passive margins have been extensively studied. Few studies, however, have a focus on deciphering the ... -
The Role of Subduction Interface and Upper Plate Strength on Back-Arc Extension: Application to Mediterranean Back-Arc Basins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)While there has been a lot of work focusing on improving our understanding of divergent and convergent plate boundaries, the intricate nature of back-arc extension, where subduction and large-scale extension occur and ... -
The role of subglacial hydrology in ice streams with elevated geothermal heat flux
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-02-10)The spatial distribution of geothermal heat flux (GHF) under ice sheets is largely unknown. Nonetheless, it is an important boundary condition in ice-sheet models, and suggested to control part of the complex surface ... -
The role of sublimation as a driver of climate signals in the water isotope content of surface snow: Laboratory and field experimental results
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Ice core water isotope records from Greenland and Antarctica are a valuable proxy for paleoclimate reconstruction, yet the processes influencing the climate signal stored in the isotopic composition of the snow are being ... -
The Role of System Dynamics Approaches in Aquatic Disease Management: An Application to Sea Lice Control in Norway
(Master thesis, 2012-09-21)Different methodologies have been used to model the epidemiology and economics of aquaculture diseases, including input-output models, benefit- cost analysis, linear programming, simple spreadsheet-based models, compartment ... -

The role of the intermediate compartment in membrane traffic during different stages of the cell cycle
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)The biosynthetic-secretory pathway delivers newly synthesized molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the plasma membrane (PM), as well as to endomembrane compartments. The intermediate compartment (IC) is an ... -
Role of the kidneys in acid-base regulation and ammonia excretion in freshwater and seawater fish: implications for nephrocalcinosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Maintaining normal pH levels in the body fluids is essential for homeostasis and represents one of the most tightly regulated physiological processes among vertebrates. Fish are generally ammoniotelic and inhabit diverse ... -
Role of the Neutral Amino Acid Transporter SLC7A10 in Adipocyte Lipid Storage, Obesity and Insulin Resistance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Elucidation of mechanisms that govern lipid storage, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance may lead to improved therapeutic options for type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related diseases. Here, we find that adipose ... -
The role of the northward-directed (sub)surface limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation during the 8.2 ka event
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-24)The so-called "8.2 ka event" is widely regarded as a major Holocene climate perturbation. It is most readily identifiable in the oxygen-isotope records from Greenland ice cores as an approximately 160-year-long cold interval ... -
