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 ... -
Views of young people with psychosis on using virtual reality assisted therapy. A qualitative study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Aim Service disengagement is a challenge in young individuals struggling with psychosis. Combining cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) with virtual reality (VR) has proven acceptable and potentially effective ... -
Towards stronger Lagrangean bounds for stable spanning trees
(Chapter, 2022)Given a graph G=(V,E) and a set C of unordered pairs of edges regarded as being in conflict, a stable spanning tree in G is a set of edges T inducing a spanning tree in G, such that for each {e_i, e_j} in C, at most one ... -
Psychiatric symptoms in COVID-19-positive individuals in the general population: Trajectories of depression, anxiety, and insomnia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The present study investigates differences in the trajectories of anxiety, depression, and sleep problems among infected versus non-infected case-controlled individuals. Patients who tested positive for COVID-19 were ... -
Spaces, Places and Things. The Spatial Dimension of Early Indian Ocean Exchange
(Chapter, 2022)Early exchange along the maritime Silk Road not only spanned immense distances, but was also subject to—among other things—seasonal weather systems, hazardous waters, arid and sparsely populated coastlines with few suitable ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Influence of circulatory shock at hospital admission on outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Hypotension after cardiac arrest could aggravate prolonged hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The association of circulatory shock at hospital admission with outcome after cardiac arrest has not been well studied. The objective ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Competition adsorption of malachite green and rhodamine B on polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride microplastics in aqueous environment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Microplastics (MPs) will cause compound pollution by combining with organic pollutants in the aqueous environment. It is important for environmental protection to study the adsorption mechanism of different MPs for pollutants. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Vasoactive and/or inotropic drugs in initial resuscitation of burn injuries: A systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background According to current guidelines, initial burn resuscitation should be performed with fluids alone. The aims of the study were to review the frequency of use of vasoactive and/or inotropic drugs in initial burn ... -
