Developing drawing skill: Exploring the role of parental support and cultural learning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Learning to draw is an important developmental milestone that most children achieve during their preschool years. Primary caregivers play a significant role in supporting this process, which may affect the pace of acquisition ... -
Bubbling trouble: Effects of supersaturated water on benthic macroinvertebrates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The saturation of total dissolved gases (TDG) in water remains around 100%. Certain circumstances can lead to TDG values exceeding 100%, resulting in TDG supersaturation (TDGS). TDGS above about 110% can be toxic to animals ... -
Negative association of sea lice from fish farms on recreational fishing catches of Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The question of whether and to what extent sea-louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations from salmon farms influence wild Atlantic salmon survival has been subject to sustained scientific debate and political controversy. ... -
The NAD+ Precursor Nicotinamide Riboside Rescues Mitochondrial Defects and Neuronal Loss in iPSC derived Cortical Organoid of Alpers' Disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Alpers' syndrome is an early-onset neurodegenerative disorder usually caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the gene encoding the catalytic subunit of polymerase-gamma (POLG), which is essential for mitochondrial DNA ... -
Determining sea-level rise in the Caribbean: A shift from temperature to mass control
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Tropical Small Island Developing States (SIDS), such as those in the Caribbean, are among the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, most notably sea-level rise. The current sea-level rise in the Caribbean is ... -
In the Wake of Deeper Convection: Nonsteady State Anthropogenic Carbon in the Greenland Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)We evaluate changes in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the Greenland Sea between 2002 and 2016, a period characterized by increasing convection depths. We find a mid-depth maximum in anthropogenic carbon (Cant) ... -
Validity of winter sampling for estimation of salmonid abundance by electrofishing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Electrofishing removal sampling is a common method for abundance estimation of juvenile salmonids in streams and is usually performed during autumn. European guidelines specify that sampling should be conducted at water ... -
Reading tea leaves worldwide: Decoupled drivers of initial litter decomposition mass-loss rate and stabilization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding of global decomposition patterns and the drivers of such patterns are hampered by the lack of coherent large-scale ... -
Touching distance: Finder-collector relationships with and experiences of archaeological objects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Avocational metal-detectorists can be defined as finder-collectors. Many of them curate objects which they legally own. Some finder-collectors have private collections or even home museums consisting of thousands of objects, ... -
A survey on popularity bias in recommender systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Recommender systems help people find relevant content in a personalized way. One main promise of such systems is that they are able to increase the visibility of items in the long tail, i.e., the lesser-known items in a ... -
The parameterized complexity of finding minimum bounded chains
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Finding the smallest d-chain with a specific (d − 1)-boundary in a simplicial complex is known as the Minimum Bounded Chain problem (MBCd). MBCd is NP-hard for all d ≥2. In this paper, we prove that it is also W[1]-hard ... -
A scoping review on the associations between early childhood caries and sustainable cities and communities using the sustainable development goal 11 framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a multifactorial disease in which environmental factors could play a role. The purpose of this scoping review was to map the published literature that assessed the association ... -
Framing the Intersectional Representation of the Landless Workers’ Movement on Instagram
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Landless Workers’ Movement (MST) is a grassroots organization influenced by Marxism, which has attracted national and international attention for its strategies for the occupation and redistribution of land in Brazil. ... -
Modelling of mixed-mechanism stimulation for the enhancement of geothermal reservoirs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Hydraulic stimulation is a critical process for increasing the permeability of fractured geothermal reservoirs. This technique relies on coupled hydromechanical processes induced through pressurized fluid injection into ... -
Association between early childhood caries and parental education and the link to the sustainable development goal 4: a scoping review

Generosity's Double-Edged Sword: Unmasking the Impact of Raised Social Assistance Rates in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)As long as welfare arrangements have been in existence, there has been a strong belief that high-benefit generosity leads to welfare reliance. In this study, we investigate whether an increase in welfare generosity in ... -
Towards greener wind power: Nanodiamond-treated flax fiber composites outperform standard glass fiber composites in impact fatigue tests
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Wind energy is facing two major problems, recyclability of wind turbine blades, primarily made from fiberglass, and rain erosion on the blade’s leading edges. Here, we show that flax fiber reinforced epoxy composites have ... -
Simulated Abrupt Shifts in Aerobic Habitats of Marine Species in the Past, Present, and Future
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The physiological tolerances of marine species toward ambient temperature and oxygen can jointly be evaluated in a single metric: the metabolic index. Changes therein characterize a changing aerobic habitat tailored to ... -
Failsafe layer for wind turbine blades: Erosion protection of glass fiber composite through nanodiamond-treated flax composite top layer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Wind turbine blades are mainly made from E-glass fiber (GF) epoxy composites, because of their good ratio of strength to weight and costs. With the increase in blade length and tip speed, the problem of leading edge erosion ... -
