Psychometric Properties and Correlates of Precarious Manhood Beliefs in 62 Nations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)Precarious manhood beliefs portray manhood, relative to womanhood, as a social status that is hard to earn, easy to lose, and proven via public action. Here, we present cross-cultural data on a brief measure of precarious manhood beliefs (the Precarious Manhood Beliefs scale [PMB]) that covaries meaningfully with other cross-culturally validated gender ideologies and with country-level indices of ... -

This large-scale, multisite study used the diversity of bilingual infant experiences to explore the impact of different types of linguistic ... -
Challenges with the interpretation of Sami ethnicity and the height differences in epidemiologic research comparing Sami and non-Sami population
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-07)Ethnicity clusters individuals with shared characteristics and is a common variable in epidemiology. Often it is not specified what is meant by a given ethnicity or what characteristics ethnicity entails in the different contexts. In public health research, ethnicity can be viewed as a non-modifiable risk factor of disease because modifying the ethnic composition in a population is not meaningful, ... -

Predicting self-injurious thoughts in daily life using ambulatory assessment of state cognition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-12)Self-injurious thoughts (SITs) fluctuate considerably from moment to moment. As such, “static” and temporally stable predictors (e.g., demographic variables, prior history) are suboptimal in predicting imminent SITs. This concern is particularly true for “online” cognitive abilities, which are important for understanding SITs, but are typically measured using tests selected for temporal stability. ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-13)Children as young as ten-years-old can legally work as hired farm labor in the United States. In North Carolina, many hired children are part of the Latinx farmworker community. Agriculture is a hazardous industry, and child workers experience high rates of injury, illness, and mortality. As part of a community-based participatory research study, we draw from thirty in-depth interviews with Latinx ... -

Prescribing active transport as a planetary health intervention – benefits, challenges and recommendations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-08)A high proportion of people are insufficiently physically active. The reasons for this are complex and in part relate to social determinants of health, lifestyle choices, and deleterious environmental conditions like climate change, loss of green and outdoor environments and a concomitant loss of biodiversity. Physiotherapists, and other health professionals, may have a positive impact on these ... -
Intramuscular uptake of tranexamic acid during haemorrhagic shock in a swine model
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-18)Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduce mortality in bleeding trauma patients, with greater efect if administered early. Serum concentrations above 10 µg/mL are considered sufcient to inhibit fbrinolysis. Normally administered intravenously (i.v.), TXA can also be administered intramuscularly (i.m.). This could be advantageous in low resource and military settings, if sufcient serum concentrations ... -
A novel lncRNA derived from an ultraconserved region: lnc- uc.147, a potential biomarker in luminal A breast cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-13)The human genome contains 481 ultraconserved regions (UCRs), which are genomic stretches of over 200 base pairs conserved among human, rat, and mouse. The majority of these regions are transcriptionally active (T-UCRs), and several have been found to be differentially expressed in tumours. Some T-UCRs have been functionally characterized, but of those few have been associated to breast cancer (BC). ... -
