Multimarker profiling identifies protective and harmful immune processes in heart failure: Findings from BIOSTAT-CHF
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Aims The exploration of novel immunomodulatory interventions to improve outcome in heart failure (HF) is hampered by the complexity/redundancies of inflammatory pathways, which remain poorly understood. We thus aimed to ... -
Nutrient‑limited subarctic caves harbour more diverse and complex bacterial communities than their surface soil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Subarctic regions are particularly vulnerable to climate change, yet little is known about nutrient availability and biodiversity of their cave ecosystems. Such knowledge is crucial for predicting the vulnerability ... -
Increasing temperature and prey availability affect the growth and swimming kinematics of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) larvae
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Climate change will increase the magnitude and duration of warming events and the variability in the phenology and abundance of available prey to the early life stages of fish. These factors influence physiological, ... -
Thrombectomy in large vessel occlusion stroke—Does age matter?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objectives Endovascular treatment (EVT) is the gold standard treatment for emergent large vessel occlusion (LVO). The benefit of EVT for emergent LVO in elderly patients (>80 years old) is still debated as they have been ... -
31P solid-state NMR on skeletal muscle of wild and farmed Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Over the past 50 years, 31P NMR has proven a powerful tool for obtaining information on cellular biochemistry. Here we use this technique for the first time to study intracellular phosphorous metabolites in skeletal muscle ... -
Når virkeligheten slår tilbake - En studie av debatten rundt virkelighetslitteratur i Norge
(Master thesis, 2022-09-29)Denne masteroppgaven er en studie av debatten rundt virkelighetslitteraturen de to første tiårene etter årtusenskiftet. Jeg tar utgangspunkt i Hanne Ørstaviks Like sant som jeg er virkelig (1997), Nikolaj Frobenius Teori ... -
Development of robust and efficient solution strategies for coupled problems
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-10-10)Det er mange modeller i moderne vitenskap hvor sammenkoblingen mellom forskjellige fysiske prosesser er svært viktig. Disse finner man for eksempel i forbindelse med lagring av karbondioksid i undervannsreservoarer, flyt ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies Sjögren’s risk loci with functional implications in immune and glandular cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Sjögren’s disease is a complex autoimmune disease with twelve established susceptibility loci. This genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifies ten novel genome-wide significant (GWS) regions in Sjögren’s cases of ... -
Trauma team training in Norwegian hospitals: an observational study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Traumatic injuries are a leading cause of deaths in Norway, especially among younger males. Trauma-related mortality can be reduced by structural measures, such as organization of a trauma system. Many hospitals ... -
Evaluation and Improvement of Machine Learning Algorithms in Drug Discovery
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Drug discovery plays a critical role in today’s society for treating and preventing sickness and possibly deadly viruses. In early drug discovery development, the main challenge is to find candidate molecules to be used ... -
Use of synthetic health data in prototyping for developing dental implant registry services
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Developing novel applications in healthcare and dentistry can be challenging due to lack of application requirements, uncertain stakeholders, and no available test data. Such conditions exist in tooth implant dentistry, ... -
The role of crawling predators in the decline and distribution of blue mussels in Norwegian coastal waters
(Master thesis, 2022-08-22)Blue mussels (Mytilus spp.) are declining in coastal areas around the world. In Norway, they thrive on floating structures, while on rocky shores they have widely disappeared. Proposed and elsewhere reliable drivers such ... -
Exploring Hardware Agnostic Multiarrays in Magnolia
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)We present a specification and implementation of a generic multiarray API based on A Mathematics of Arrays in the general purpose research language Magnolia. We show how we can lift the reasoning on arrays to a more abstract ... -
Secure coding through integration of public information security sources to eclipse development environment
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)The use of open source components in software development has been growing at a rapid pace for a number of years. This increase in use of open source software is accompanied by an increase in the risk of security ... -
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?
