Coastal ecosystems are of high ecological and socioeconomic importance, and are strongly influenced by processes from land, sea, and human activities. In this study, we present physical, chemical, and biological observations over two consecutive years from three study regions along the Norwegian coast that represent a broad latitudinal gradient in catchment and oceanographic conditions (~59-69 °N): outer Oslofjord/southern Norway, Runde/western Norway and Malangen/northern Norway. The observations ...

Abstract Background Topical administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) may be an alternative to intravenous administration to reduce bleeding with a lower risk of systemic adverse events. The aim of this study was to investigate whether moistening a surgical wound with TXA before closure, leaving a thin film of drug only, would reduce postoperative bleeding. Methods This was a two-centre, stratified, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, double-blind RCT. Patients undergoing mastectomy with or without ...

Abstract The Iceland Greenland Seas Project (IGP) is a coordinated atmosphere–ocean research program investigating climate processes in the source region of the densest waters of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. During February and March 2018, a field campaign was executed over the Iceland and southern Greenland Seas that utilized a range of observing platforms to investigate critical processes in the region, including a research vessel, a research aircraft, moorings, sea gliders, ...

Abstract The Lofoten Basin in the Norwegian Sea is an area where the warm Atlantic Water is subject to the greatest heat losses anywhere in the Nordic Seas. A long‐lived, deep, anticyclonic eddy is located in the central part of the basin (the Lofoten Basin Eddy, LBE). Here we use observations from Seagliders, collected between July 2012 and July 2015, to describe LBE in unprecedented detail. The missions were designed to sample LBE repeatedly, allowing for multiple realizations of radial sections ...

Turning a complex political dispute into a scientific one had certain consequences. The empirical material from this study demonstrates how the main characters in the process changed from local politicians, to scientists far away. Even more alarming were results showing how a broad range of important local societal ...

Abstract With the decline of many of the world’s fisheries, increased regulation, including marine protected areas (MPA), forms an increasingly important role in promoting sustainable resource use. Here, we present a novel “real-time” genetic monitoring programme used to protect the depleted Norwegian coastal cod stock (NCC) in an MPA during the spawning season, while a fishery targeted at the sustainable Northeast Arctic cod stock (NEAC) operates immediately outside. In the period 2009–2016, >6800 ...

The age information of commercially important species is crucial in fisheries management. Age of various fish and molluscan species has routinely been determined by counting annual growth bands deposited within the hard structures. In crustaceans such structures were previously believed to be lost and replaced due to molting. However, a technique was recently developed to use growth bands deposited in hard structure retained through molting as an age indicator. In the present study, the applicability ...

We conducted a prospective cohort study of 496 adults starting antiretroviral treatment (ART) to determine the impact of neuropsychiatric symptoms and socioeconomic status on adherence and mortality. Almost 60% had good adherence based upon pharmacy records. Poor adherence was associated with being divorced, poorer, food insecure, and less educated. Longer travel time to clinic, concealing one's human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status, and experiencing side effects predicted poor adherence. Over ...

Human immunodeficiency virus–associated dementia (HIV-D) is an indication for antiretroviral therapy (ART), but HIV-D is not routinely screened for in ART clinics in sub-Saharan Africa. Given the dearth of physicians in sub-Saharan Africa, enabling non-physician healthcare workers to identify HIV-D is crucial for early treatment initiation and preventing chronic neurologic disability. Non-physician healthcare workers administered locally adapted screening instruments to 48 persons living with acquired ...

In this paper, Norwegian research on the relationship between the school and the local community during the past 30 years is reviewed. The Norwegian context of schooling is briefly described, pointing out the rural–urban conflict. The review is organized into two phases: research in the expansive and contractive phases of the Norwegian welfare state. Substantial research results are summarised. The challenge is how to raise the quality of research on the relationship between the school and the community. ...

The focus is on informal social learning mediated through the social relations between and among pupils. Pupils are active participants and the meaning of transitions is based on their experiences in very different school contexts. Transfer and its social meaning is discussed as a “transition ...
