Lentic waterbodies provide terrestrial sedimentary archives of palaeoenvironmental change in deglaciated areas of the Antarctic. Knowledge of the long-term evolution of Antarctic palaeoenvironments affords important context to the current marked impacts of climate change in the Polar regions. Here, we present a comprehensively dated, multi-proxy sedimentary record from Monolith Lake, a distal ...

Patient-generated health data (PGHD) is required to monitor chronic conditions like Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). This data includes information from medical devices like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors and lifestyle insights from commercial wearables devices such as smartwatches. To improve the quality of medical consultations, we need a unified information system that can integrate ...

Today, Wikipedia has developed into a prominent source for health queries to the vast public. Over the years, some studies have been performed to understand what the webpage can and cannot offer. However, the current literature lacks knowledge of how the pharmaceutical industry is present in Wikipedia’s medicine articles. The immediate objective of this research was to quantify the presence of ...

The permanent economic and scientific presence of Russia and Norway in the Svalbard archipelago involves both cooperation and diplomatic tensions. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to clarifying the Russian view of Svalbard by examining Russian media perceptions of the archipelago. The study covers a sample of Russian mainstream federal and north-western regional media outlets and investigates ...

Background: The gene editing tool, CRISPR/Cas9, can potentially be applied in aquaculture to combat some of the problems of the farmed salmon industry including infectious diseases. The RNP (ribonucleoprotein)-based CRISPR/Cas9 strategy has recently been shown to be efficient in gene editing in diverse cell lines and organisms. Application of RNP strategy in salmon cell biology is still at its ...

This thesis aims to showcase how one can incorporate disability representation in literature in the classroom by teaching Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and Daniel Keyes’ Flowers for Algernon. These novels should be utilised in schools to have disability literature represented whilst simultaneously improving pupils’ metacognition. This thesis has analysed and reflected ...

The Dom Feliciano Belt is the South American part of an extensive Neoproterozoic orogenic system that developed during the late Cryogenian–early Cambrian close to the margin of southwest Gondwana. The link of its evolution with the tectonic processes in its African counterpart is still not well understood. P–T estimates, Lu–Hf garnet–whole-rock ages, U–Pb monazite SIMS ages and REE garnet and monazite ...

Multilingualism has been demonstrated to lead to a more favorable trajectory of neurocognitive aging, yet our understanding of its effect on neurocognition across the lifespan remains limited. We collected resting state EEG recordings from a sample of multilingual individuals across a wide age range. Additionally, we obtained data on participant multilingual language use patterns alongside other ...
