The effects of restrictiveness on relative clause processing in Farsi
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-17)With an eye-tracking experiment, we investigated the processing of Farsi object and subject relative clauses. Since restrictive relative clauses in Farsi are marked and distinguished clearly by the enclitic particle ی /− i/ attached to the head noun, we also compared the processing of restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses. Seifi (2021) conducted a corpus analysis that showed that ... -
Diets, stress, and disease in the Etruscan society: Isotope analysis and infantile skeletal palaeopathology from Pontecagnano (Campania, southern Italy, 730–580 BCE)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-15)Susceptibility to morbidity and mortality is increased in early life, yet proactive measures, such as breastfeeding and weaning practices, can be taken through specific investments from parents and wider society. The extent to which such biosocialcultural investment was achieved within 1<sup>st</sup> millennium BCE Etruscan society, of whom little written sources are available, is unkown. This ... -
Multi-isotope reconstruction of Late Pleistocene large-herbivore biogeography and mobility patterns in Central Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-14)Interpretations of Late Pleistocene hominin adaptative capacities by archaeologists have focused heavily on their exploitation of certain prey and documented contemporary behaviours for these species. However, we cannot assume that animal prey-taxa ecology and ethology were the same in the past as in the present, or were constant over archaeological timescales. Sequential isotope analysis of ... -
A city-scale turbulence-resolving model as an essential element of integrated urban services.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-11)Large-eddy simulation (LES) models, such as the PALM modeling system in this study, are actively used for urban micro-climate modeling. We consider urban LES in a broader context as a mature high-resolution model for integrated urban services (IUS), which is an initiative of the World Meteorological Organization that provides a modeling component for urban decision-support systems. A decision-support ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-03)Background: Current risk stratification tools for prostate cancer patients under active surveillance (AS) may inadequately identify those needing treatment. We investigated DNA ploidy and PTEN as potential biomarkers to predict aggressive disease in AS patients.<p><p> Methods: We assessed DNA ploidy by image cytometry and PTEN protein expression by immunohistochemistry in 3197 tumour-containing ... -
Age-adjusted CSF t-tau and NfL do not improve diagnostic accuracy for prodromal Alzheimer’s Disease
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-06-04)Cerebrospinal fluid total-tau (t-tau) and neurofilament light chain (NfL) are biomarkers of neurodegeneration and are increased in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In order to adjust for age-related increases in t-tau and NfL, cross-sectional age-adjusted norms were developed based on amyloid negative cognitively normal (CN) adults aged 41–78 years (CN, n = 137). The age-adjusted norms for t-tau and NfL ... -
Parenteral Nutrition in Palliative Cancer Care: Detrimental, Futile, or Beneficial?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-11)Palliative cancer care patients may live for a long time, but malnutrition worsens the prognosis. Parenteral nutrition (PN) is suitable for replenishing a calorie deficit, but its advantages and tolerance late in the cancer trajectory are debated. We examined symptom development in hospitalized patients with and without PN. A total of 21 palliative cancer care patients receiving PN and 155 ... -
Testing Sexual Strategy Theory in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-24)Choosing a romantic partner for a long-term relationship is one of the most significant decisions one makes during our lifetime. We have inherited an evolved framework from our ancestors that contains traits, as well as preferences for these traits, to solve this task. We use this framework consciously or unconsciously to choose prospective romantic partners. Following this reasoning, sexual strategy ... -
The impact of level of documentation on the accessibility and affordability of new drugs in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-14)Introduction: Over the preceding decade, an increasing number of drugs have been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) with limited knowledge of their relative efficacy. This is due to the utilization of non-randomized, single-arm studies, surrogate endpoints, and shorter follow-up time. The impact of this trend on the accessibility and affordability of newly approved drugs in Europe remains ... -
Biomolecular evidence for changing millet reliance in Late Bronze Age central Germany
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-22)The Bronze Age of Central Europe was a period of major social, economic, political and ideological change. The arrival of millet is often seen as part of wider Bronze Age connectivity, yet understanding of the subsistence regimes underpinning this dynamic period remains poor for this region, in large part due to a dominance of cremation funerary rites, which hinder biomolecular studies. Here, we ... -

Accounting for NAD Concentrations in Genome-Scale Metabolic Models Captures Important Metabolic Alterations in NAD-Depleted Systems
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-20)Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a ubiquitous molecule found within all cells, acting as a crucial coenzyme in numerous metabolic reactions. It plays a vital role in energy metabolism, cellular signaling, and DNA repair. Notably, NAD levels decline naturally with age, and this decline is associated with the development of various age-related diseases. Despite this established link, ... -
Horizons that gyre and gimble: a differential characterization of null hypersurfaces
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-04)Motivated by the thermodynamics of black hole solutions conformal to stationary solutions, we study the geometric invariant theory of null hypersurfaces. It is wellknown that a null hypersurface in a Lorentzian manifold can be treated as a Carrollian geometry. Additional structure can be added to this geometry by choosing a connection which yields a Carrollian manifold. In the literature various ...
