Vacuolar ATPase Is a Possible Therapeutic Target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Focus on Patient Heterogeneity and Treatment Toxicity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) is regarded as a possible target in cancer treatment. It is expressed in primary acute myeloid leukemia cells (AML), but the expression varies between patients and is highest for patients with a ... -
Vagally mediated heart rate variability, stress, and perceived social support: a focus on sex differences
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Higher vagally mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV), reflecting vagal activity as indexed by heart function and lower stress vulnerability, is associated with higher perceived social support. Seeking social support is ... -
Vaginal colonisation of women in labour with potentially pathogenic bacteria: A cross sectional study at three primary health care facilities in Central Uganda
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-31)Background: Potentially pathogenic bacteria that colonise the lower genital tract of women in labour can be passed to the baby during birth. While many babies become colonised with these bacteria after delivery, a few ... -
Vaginal colonization with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria among women in labor in central Uganda: prevalence and associated factors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background According to WHO ( CISMAC. Centre for Intervention Science in Maternal and Child health), the antimicrobial resistant bacteria considered to be clinically most important for human health and earmarked for ... -
Vaksineusikkerhet blant innvandrere under covid-19-pandemien – en kvalitativ studie
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Bakgrunn: Vaksinasjon mot SARS-CoV-2 har vært et viktig tiltak i håndteringen av pandemien. I Norge har vaksinasjonsdekningen vært lavere i flere innvandrergrupper enn i den øvrige befolkningen. Målet med denne studien var ... -
Validating a Computational Framework for Ionic Electrodiffusion with Cortical Spreading Depression as a Case Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a wave of pronounced depolarization of brain tissue accompanied by substantial shifts in ionic concentrations and cellular swelling. Here, we validate a computational framework for ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In order to effectively integrate digital technology into education, it is necessary to examine and understand teachers’ preparedness to use digital technology in education. The objective of this pilot study is to validate ... -
Validating Finescale Parameterizations for the Eastern Arctic Ocean Internal Wave Field
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In the Arctic Ocean, vertical transport of heat by turbulent mixing is ultimately coupled to the sea-ice cover, with immediate and far-reaching impacts on the climate and ecosystem. Unfortunately, direct observations of ... -
Validating the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) for applications in northern Europe: Ground magnetic perturbation validation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In this study we investigate the performance of the University of Michigan’s Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) in prediction of ground magnetic perturbations (ΔB) and their rate of change with time (dB/dt), which is ... -
Validating timing of salmon smolt runs obtained by telemetry studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Telemetry tags are increasingly used in management to monitor the migration timing of Atlantic salmon smolts (Salmo salar L.). It has been postulated that (1) effects from tagging and handling may alter migration behaviour, ... -
Validation of a brief version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS-16) with an older Norwegian population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Emotion regulation is proposed to have a salient role in optimal aging. However, currently used measures of emotion regulation have not been validated for older adults. Therefore, we evaluated the psychometric properties ... -
