(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-02)Introduction Patients with complex multimorbidity face a high treatment burden and frequently have low quality of life. General practice is the key organisational setting in terms of offering people with complex multimorbidity integrated, longitudinal, patient-centred care. This protocol describes a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an adaptive, ... -
Dual-Perspective Modeling of Patient Pathways: A Case Study on Kidney Cancer
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-05-05)Patient pathway has become a key concept in the organization of healthcare. However, the materialization and operationalization of pathways often focus on work processes of health personnel, clinical decision-making, and deadlines, contradicting the strong patient-oriented perspective that is inherent in their definition. In this paper, we introduce a patient-centered perspective of kidney cancer ... -

Harmonin homology domain-mediated interaction of RTEL1 helicase with RPA and DNA provides insights into its recruitment to DNA repair sites
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-28)he regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 (RTEL1) plays roles in telomere DNA maintenance, DNA repair, and genome stability by dismantling D-loops and unwinding G-quadruplex structures. RTEL1 comprises a helicase domain, two tandem harmonin homology domains 1&2 (HHD1 and HHD2), and a Zn2+-binding RING domain. In vitro D-loop disassembly by RTEL1 is enhanced in the presence of replication ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-10)This body image study tests the viability of transferring a complex psychophysical paradigm from a controlled in-person laboratory task to an online environment. 172 female participants made online judgements about their own body size when viewing images of computer-generated female bodies presented in either in front-view or at 45-degrees in a method of adjustment (MOA) paradigm. The results of ... -
Social movement communication as democratic innovation: The Alta Conflict 1970–1982
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-02-06)How can lobbying and influence be useful not only for those who already are powerful, but also for the empowerment of the disempowered? Thus, how may we democratise control over the means of rhetorical power? An answer may be found in rare cases of social movement communication impacting constitutional reform, such as the Alta Dam Conflict, 1970–1982, from an area where the Norwegian state ... -
Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals temporal dynamics but functional stability of arthropod communities in cattle dung
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-12)<ol> <li>Terrestrial invertebrates are highly important for the decomposition of dung from large mammals. Mammal dung has been present in many of Earth's ecosystems for millions of years, enabling the evolution of a broad diversity of dung-associated invertebrates that process various components of the dung. Today, large herbivorous mammals are increasingly introduced to ecosystems with the aim ... -
Pilsbrylia, a dextral-shelled door snail from South America (Gastropoda, Clausiliidae)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-26)he land snail genus Pilsbrylia Hylton Scott, 1952 has been recently shown to not belong to the superfamily to which it was orig inally assigned (i.e., the Orthalicoidea), instead pointing out a relationship with the Clausilioidea. In this study, we included the type species of the genus in a multi-marker molecular phylogenetic framework to reassess its family-level classification. Our results ... -

Assessment of stress levels based on biosignal during the simulator-based maritime navigation training and its impact on sailing route reliability
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-17)Maritime training can improve safety by equipping seafarers with the knowledge and skills to manage risk. However, designing a quality training program can be challenging and stress can negatively impact performance and safety. To address this, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between stress and training outcomes, with the goal of developing more effective stress-based ... -

Predicting ion cyclotron emission from neutral beam heated plasmas in Wendelstein7-X stellarator
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-02)Measurements of ion cyclotron emission (ICE) are planned for magnetically confined fusion plasmas heated by neutral beam injection (NBI) in the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator (W7-X). Freshly injected NBI ions in the edge region, whose velocity-space distribution function approximates a delta-function, are potentially unstable against the magnetoacoustic cyclotron instability (MCI), which could drive a ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-22)Aim This scoping review investigated and descriptively summarised previous research about fundamental nursing, its focus (what care needs are described, how is it described and by whom is it described), continuity of care (is it described in relation to fundamental nursing) and possible nursing interventions or activities targeting older people’s fundamentals of care needs in home- or ... -
Combining Advanced Analytical Methodologies to Uncover Suspect PFAS and Fluorinated Pharmaceutical Contributions to Extractable Organic Fluorine in Human Serum (Tromsø Study)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-10)A growing number of studies have reported that routinely monitored per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are not sufficient to explain the extractable organic fluorine (EOF) measured in human blood. In this study, we address this gap by screening pooled human serum collected over 3 decades (1986–2015) in Tromsø (Norway) for >5000 PFAS and >300 fluorinated pharmaceuticals. We combined multiple ... -
Ecological implications of the pink salmon invasion in northern Norway—Aggregative responses and terrestrial transfer by white-tailed eagles
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-21)Over the last 10 years, the spawning population of invasive pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) has increased in the river systems in northern Norway to a level that is causing concern about their impact on endemic fauna and ecosystem processes. The scale of transfer of pink salmon carcasses into the terrestrial ecosystem is likely to be a key determinant of terrestrial impact. Bears (Ursus ...
