Introduction - Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) monitors persistent organic pollutant (POP) levels in the Arctic populations and assesses health effects related to exposure to them. Many internationally regulated POPs persist in humans and biota, while new Emerging Contaminants of Arctic Concern (ECAC), many of which are unregulated, present additional challenges. Biomonitoring ...

The role of continental margin sediments in the carbon cycle and the associated management potential for climate mitigation are currently poorly understood. Previous work has indicated that margin sediments store significant amounts of organic carbon, but few studies have quantified the rates at which organic carbon is accumulated. Here, we use machine learning to make spatial predictions of the ...

Student teachers have been found to be critical toward the research approaches they learned from their master's-based teacher education programmes. Our aim is to discuss how certain research approaches learnt during a 5-year academic master's level teacher education, may bring student teachers close to practice and provide them with conceptual and practical tools for a thorough understanding of the ...

Although the number of father-athletes is significantly higher than the number of mother-athletes, few studies to date have focused on male athletes’ experiences in a parenting context.<p> <p>Aim: The aims of the present study were to explore how ...

In this study, we combined reflexive monitoring—a critical assessment, evaluation, and practice-adjustment process—with participatory learning through educational games to advance transformative sustainable tourism methodologies. The methodology was tested in a workshop with tourism practitioners in Norway. Using a constructivist lens, we analysed the narratives participants shared via game artefacts, ...

This article explores contemporary art practices in Sápmi which utilise maps as a tool and medium. The importance of the artist Hans Ragnar Mathisen’s abundant maps from the mid-1970s is acknowledged, and furthermore the article looks into examples from the next generation Sámi artists who create dáiddakárta, which literally translates to art maps. Although not a traditional Sámi way of mapping and ...

Objectives In this cross-sectional study from Botswana, we investigated knowledge of myocardial infarction (MI) symptoms and risk factors among the general public and outpatients with MI risk factors based on age and lifestyle behaviors, in addition to assessing associations with sociodemographic and MI risk factors.<p> <p>Method Open-ended questionnaires about 8 MI symptoms and 10 risk factors, ...

<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> often reside in the human body as harmless commensal bacteria but can cause various infections once they breach the host's immune defenses. These pathogens are increasingly difficult to treat due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains such as methicillin-resistant <i>S. aureus</i> (MRSA) and carbapenem-resistant <i>K. pneumoniae</i>. ...

he prevalence of gaming disorder is assumed to be between 2%− 5%. The treatment effect of different thera peutic interventions of gaming disorder has not been studied extensively. This systematic review and meta analysis sought to identify all intervention studies on gaming disorder with a control group, determine the ef fect of the interventions, and examine moderators. Studies applying a therapeutic ...
