Unveiling sex bias and adverse neonatal outcomes in ultrasound estimation of gestational age: A population-based cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background Gestational age estimation by second-trimester ultrasound biometry introduces systematic errors due to sex differences in early foetal growth, consequently increasing the risk of adverse neonatal outcomes. ... -
Rigorous estimates on mechanical balance laws in the Boussinesq–Peregrine equations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)It is shown that the Boussinesq–Peregrine system, which describes long waves of small amplitude at the surface of an inviscid fluid with variable depth, admits a number of approximate conservation equations. Notably, this ... -
Longer-term quality of care, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of implementing a model of care for osteoarthritis: A cluster-randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objective: To assess the quality of care, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness over 12 months after implementing a structured model of care for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) in primary healthcare as compared to usual ... -
Changing Temporal Opportunity Structures? Two Cohorts of Young Women’s Thoughts about Future Work, Family and Education
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This article seeks to explore if and how period specific conditions affect young women’s thoughts about their future lives. A contextualist analysis is done of a small sample of biographical interviews with Norwegian women ... -
Salmon louse labial gland enzymes: implications for host settlement and immune modulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a skin- and blood-feeding ectoparasite, infesting salmonids. While feeding, labial gland proteins from the salmon louse may be deposited on the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) skin. ... -
Room-Scale CO2 Injections in a Physical Reservoir Model with Faults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)We perform a series of repeated CO2 injections in a room-scale physical model of a faulted geological cross-section. Relevant parameters for subsurface carbon storage, including multiphase flows, capillary CO2 trapping, ... -
Longitudinal Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Cortical Spheroids Identifies Axonal Dysregulation in the Prenatal Brain as a Mediator of Genetic Risk for Schizophrenia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background Schizophrenia (SCZ) has a known neurodevelopmental etiology, but limited access to human prenatal brain tissue hampers the investigation of basic disease mechanisms in early brain development. Here, we elucidate ... -
Suitability of issuing sickness certificates in remote consultations during the COVID-19 pandemic. A mixed method study of GPs' experiences
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objective To explore Norwegian GPs’ experiences with and perceived suitability of issuing sickness certifications in remote consultations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design We used a mixed methods research design. ... -
Multi-Task Optimization in Reliability Redundancy Allocation Problem: A Multifactorial Evolutionary-Based Approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Evolutionary multi-task optimization attempts to solve multiple optimization problems simultaneously by modeling the solution structures of two or more problems within a single encoding. In this paper, we report a novel ... -
Physical activity and sedentary time after lifestyle interventions at the Norwegian Healthy Life Centres
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Aims: This study evaluates long-term changes in physical activity and its associations with various predictors after a behavior change program at the Norwegian Healthy Life Centers. Background: Physical activity is ... -
Surf & Turf: The role of intensification and surplus production in the development of social complexity in coastal vs terrestrial habitats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Social complexity in coastal and terrestrial environments both emerge as forms of subsistence intensification on previous foraging patterns but take different trajectories because of differences in the spatial and temporal ... -
Towards better lumpfish: Changes in size variation, cataract development, behaviour and sea lice grazing through selective breeding
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The aim of this study was to evaluate whether sea lice grazing efficiency, behaviour, size variation and cataract development can be improved through selective breeding of lumpfish. A series of studies was conducted over ... -
A multiproxy approach to understanding the impact of the Storegga tsunami upon Mesolithic hunter-fisher-gatherers across different regions of western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Storegga tsunami (c. 8150 cal BP) is geologically well attested from various isolation basins across the west Norwegian coast. Ascertaining the impact it had upon the Mesolithic peoples who lived through it, however, ... -
Potential of AI-Driven Chatbots in Urology: Revolutionizing Patient Care Through Artificial Intelligence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Purpose of Review Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have emerged as a potential tool to transform urology by improving patient care and physician efficiency. With an emphasis on their potential advantages and ... -
Genetic Overlap Between Global Cortical Brain Structure, C-Reactive Protein, and White Blood Cell Counts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background For many brain disorders, a subset of patients jointly exhibit alterations in cortical brain structure and elevated levels of circulating immune markers. This may be driven in part by shared genetic architecture. ... -
Unified flash calculations with isenthalpic and isochoric constraints
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In the unified flash procedure, a persistent set of unknowns and equations are solved in equilibrium calculations, allowing for simultaneous phase stability and split calculations. For fluids in a subcritical thermodynamic ... -
