    • Sex-steroids and social network in relation to Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage 

      Stensen, Dina Benedicte Berg (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-04-01)
      <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (<i>S. aureus</i>) is a human pathogen that can colonize skin and mucosa. Nasal carriage is associated with increased risk of autoinfection and transmission and it is therefore important to identify possible targets for prevention of carriage. Sex and age are the most important risk factors for <i>S. aureus</i> carriage, and hypotheses about sex-steroids as major host ...

      Background<p> <p>Food biodiversity, encompassing the variety of plants, animals, and other organisms consumed as food and drink, has intrinsic potential to underpin diverse, nutritious diets and improve Earth system resilience. Dietary species richness (DSR), which is recommended as a crosscutting measure of food biodiversity, has been positively associated with the micronutrient adequacy of diets ...

    • Does the Stereotypicality of Mothers’ Occupation Influence Children’s Communal Occupational Aspirations and Communal Orientation? 

      Kvalø, Marie; Olsen, Marte; Thorsteinsen, Kjærsti; Olsson, Maria; Martiny, Sarah (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-16)
      Career development is a lifelong process that starts in infancy and is shaped by a number of different factors during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Even though career development is shaped through life, relatively little is known about the predictors of occupational aspirations in childhood. Therefore, in the present work we investigate how the stereotypicality of a mother’s occupation ...

      Background and aim: The prognostic assessment of patients referred for palliative radiotherapy can be conducted by sitespecific scores. A quick assessment that would cover the whole spectrum could simplify the working day of clinicians who are not specialists for a particular disease site. This study evaluated a promising score, the LabBM (validated for brain metastases), in patients treated for ...

      Background: Metabolomics is a promising molecular tool for identifying novel etiological pathways leading to cancer. In an earlier prospective study among pre- and postmenopausal women not using exogenous hormones, we observed a higher risk of breast cancer associated with higher blood concentrations of one metabolite (acetylcarnitine) and a lower risk associated with higher blood concentrations of ...

    • Måleegenskaper ved den norske versjonen av Olweus spørreskjema om mobbing (Olweusundersøkelsen) 

      Solberg, Mona Elin; Martinussen, Monica (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Olweus spørreskjema om mobbing for elever ble utviklet på 1980-tallet og brukes til å kartlegge mobbing i skolen basert på elevers selvrapportering. I Norge brukes skjemaet først og fremst i grunnskolen på 4. til 10. trinn. Skjemaet ble utviklet på norsk, men er senere oversatt til flere språk, inkludert engelsk: The Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ; Olweus, 1986) og The Revised Olweus ...
