Evaluating the suitability of close-kin mark-recapture as a demographic modelling tool for a critically endangered elasmobranch population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Estimating the demographic parameters of contemporary populations is essential to the success of elasmobranch conservation programmes, and to understanding their recent evolutionary history. For benthic elasmobranchs such ... -
Measurement equivalence in probability and nonprobability online panels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Nonprobability online panels are commonly used in the social sciences as a fast and inexpensive way of collecting data in contrast to more expensive probability-based panels. Given their ubiquitous use in social science ... -
Personality traits and hardiness as risk- and protective factors for mental distress during the COVID-19 pandemic: a Norwegian two-wave study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Several risk factors for anxious-depressive symptomatology during the COVID-19 pandemic have been established. However, few studies have examined the relationship between personality traits, hardiness, and such ... -
Stereotypes of Women and Men Across Gender Subgroups
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In this paper, we argue for the value of studying gender stereotypes at the subgroup level, combining insights from the stereotype content model, social role theory, and intersectional perspectives. Empirically, we investigate ... -
Preoperative pelvic MRI and 2-[18F]FDG PET/CT for lymph node staging and prognostication in endometrial cancer—time to revisit current imaging guidelines?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objective This study presents the diagnostic performance of four different preoperative imaging workups (IWs) for prediction of lymph node metastases (LNMs) in endometrial cancer (EC): pelvic MRI alone (IW1), MRI and ... -
From core schemas about the self and others to voice phenomenology: Anxiety and depression affect voice hearers differently
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objectives Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) occur as a symptom in various mental disorders, and show different phenomenological aspects, depending on their underlying psychopathology. Anxiety and depression, which ... -
Medication Prescription, Common Side-effects, and Nutritional Status are Associated in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objective Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with metabolic, nutritional, and extra-renal changes, as well as a high rate of comorbidities, which necessitates the prescription of numerous medications. Patients ... -
Linked seasonality between a phoretic mite and its moth fly host (Parasitiformes: Mesostigmata and Diptera: Psychodidae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Phoresy is a widespread phenomenon in mites. It allows mesostigmatid mites that are associated with ephemeral habitats such as mammal dung to travel fast on larger animals that can detect a proper habitat from a greater ... -
Effect of diet on molecular relationships between Atlantic cod larval muscle growth dynamics, metabolism, and antioxidant defense system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We studied molecular effects (RNAseq and qPCR) of first feeding prey types (copepods or rotifers/Artemia) on skeletal muscle myogenesis and growth dynamics (proliferation, differentiation), metabolism (glycolysis, ... -
Exposure to cold temperatures differentially modulates neural plasticity and stress responses in post-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The transfer success of farmed post-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to sea-cages rely on neural adaptions to promote stress resilience. As low temperatures impact physiology, this suggests that off-season transfer to ... -
Garbage codes in the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry 1996-2019
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Reliable statistics on the underlying cause of death are essential for monitoring the health in a population. When there is insufficient information to identify the true underlying cause of death, the death ... -
Impact of Total Hip Replacements on the Incidence of Hip Fractures in Norway During 1999–2019. A Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS) Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The knowledge about why hip fracture rates in Norway have declined is sparse. Concurrent with decreasing hip fracture rates, the rates of total hip replacements (THRs) have increased. We wanted to investigate if hip fracture ... -
Food security in Roman Palmyra (Syria) in light of paleoclimatological evidence and its historical implications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Food security in ancient urban centers is often discussed but rarely formally modelled. Despite its location in an inhospitable desert where food production is a constant challenge ancient Palmyra grew from a small oasis ... -
Neurological disorders in Northern Tanzania: A 6-year prospective hospital-based case series
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: The burden of neurological disorders is large and altered by the HIV epidemic. Objectives: We describe the pattern of neurological disorders and their association with HIV infection in adult patients attending ... -
Unfrozen Skewed Turbulence for Wind Loading on Structures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The paper introduces an algorithm to generate a three-variate four-dimensional wind turbulence field suited for yawed wind dynamic load simulation. At large yaw angles, a relaxation of Taylor’s hypothesis of frozen turbulence ... -
Physical activity intensity profiles associated with cardiometabolic risk in middle-aged to older men and women
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Accelerometers provide detailed data about physical activity (PA) across the full intensity spectrum. However, when examining associations with health, results are often aggregated to only a few summary measures [e.g. time ... -
Shared etiology of type 1 diabetes and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: a population-based twin study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objective Type 1 diabetes and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis frequently cluster in individuals and in families, indicating shared origins. The objective of this study was to investigate familial co-aggregation of these diseases ... -
Performance in youth track and field is associated with birth quartile. A register-based study among athletes in Norway from 10 years to senior level
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Introduction Earlier studies have demonstrated that the oldest in a competition class are more likely to succeed than the youngest, a phenomenon called relative age effect (RAE). Track and field give us an opportunity to ... -
