<p><i>Bakgrunn:</i> Kunnskapsbaserte faglige retningslinjer skal bidra til å kvalitetssikre helsetjenesten. Tidligere forskning viser et gap mellom anbefalinger i retningslinjer og klinisk praksis. Få studier har undersøkt etterlevelsen av retningslinjer blant helsepersonell på sykehus etter avsluttet implementering. Denne studien tar utgangspunkt i «Keisersnittprosjektet», et kvalitetsforbedringsprosjekt ...

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the fifth most common type of cancer in women worldwide being responsible for 4.8% of all cancers in women. From large cohort studies there is consistent evidence for a positive association between excess body weight and different cancer types. Women with excess body weight stands out as having a particularly high relative risk for EC. Excess body weight is an ...

Gonadally intact female rats display sexual behaviors only during a portion of the estrus cycle. In standard experimental setups, the on- and offset of sexual behavior is gradual. However, in naturalistic settings, it is almost instantaneous. We assessed the changes in sociosexual behaviors at the beginning and end of behavioral estrus in ovariectomized females treated with ovarian hormones. Rats ...

The cognitive profile associated with schizophrenia has long been a research subject of interest. A plethora of studies have not only revealed cognitive deficits but also cognitive biases, meaning qualitative deviations in the way information is processed and evaluated. Such biases are for example reflected in findings of diminished metacognitive accuracy, or premature and disadvantageous decision-making. ...

Non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) is a major DNA repair pathway in mammalian cells that recognizes, processes and fixes DNA damage throughout the cell cycle and is specifically important for homeostasis of post-mitotic neurons and developing lymphocytes. Neuronal apoptosis increases in the mice lacking NHEJ factors Ku70 and Ku80. Inactivation of other NHEJ genes, either <i>Xrcc4</i> or <i>Lig4</i>, ...

<p>Jeg skal i studien gi svar på mine tre problemstillinger. <p>Denne oppgaven har blant annet som formål å avdekke ungdommers grunner til at de selv deltar i lagidrett. De andre to problemstillingene ser fra både ungdom og foreldrenes perspektiver om hvordan de opplever hvordan foreldrene påvirker idrettsdeltakelsen til sine barn. <p>I min oppgave har jeg brukt teori av blant annet Seippel, ...
