Digital Game-Based Support for Learning the Phlebotomy Procedure in the Biomedical Laboratory Scientist Education
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Practice-based training in education is important, expensive, and resource-demanding. Digital games can provide complementary training opportunities for practicing procedural skills and increase the value of the limited ... -
The concept of learning in virtual reality in the context of tunnel fire evacuation knowledge
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper aims to explore how and what kind of learning is emphasized in the use of virtual reality to develop fire evacuation knowledge among participants. Experiences from several large tunnel fires in Norway highlight ... -
Fire Risk Prediction Using Cloud-based Weather Data Services
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Dry and cold winter seasons result in very dry indoor conditions and have historically contributed to severe fires in the high and dense representation of wooden homes in Norway. The fire in Lærdalsøyri, January 2014, is ... -
Attack rates amongst household members of outpatients with confirmed COVID-19 in Bergen, Norway: A case-ascertained study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Households studies reflect the natural spread of SARS-CoV-2 in immunologically naive populations with limited preventive measures to control transmission. We hypothesise that seropositivity provides more ... -
Human blood serum proteome changes after 6 hours of sleep deprivation at night
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background The aim of this study was to discover significantly changed proteins in human blood serum after loss of 6 h sleep at night. Furthermore, to reveal affected biological process- and molecular function categories ... -

Flow Cytometric Analysis of Bacterial Protein Synthesis: Monitoring Vitality After Water Treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Bacterial vitality after water disinfection treatment was investigated using bio-orthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) and flow cytometry (FCM). Protein synthesis activity and DNA integrity (BONCAT–SYBR ... -
Experiencing Immersive VR Simulation for Firefighter Skills Training
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Virtual Reality (VR) technology for training has gained interest in many domains, including firefighter education. However, there is hesitation to accept immersive VR technology, especially for skills training. This study ... -
Experience gained from 15 years of fire protection plans for Nordic wooden towns in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There is a genuine will to protect Nordic wooden towns in Norway, as they are considered national heritage and an important part of the urban identity. The fire protection of wooden heritage towns is an ongoing cooperation ... -
Analysis of Expected Skin Burns from Accepted Process Flare Heat Radiation Levels to Public Passersby
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Hot flaring, even from quite high flare stacks, may result in significant heat radiation outside a facility to, e.g., public roads where random passersby may be exposed. The present study suggests a novel method for analyzing ... -
p53 Protein Isoform Profiles in AML: Correlation with Distinct Differentiation Stages and Response to Epigenetic Differentiation Therapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)p53 protein isoform expression has been found to correlate with prognosis and chemotherapy response in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We aimed to investigate how p53 protein isoforms are modulated during epigenetic ... -
Behaviour of smoldering fires during periodic refilling of wood pellets into silos
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The evolution of smoldering fires in biomass stored in lab-scale silos with additional fuel material supplied repeatedly, has been studied. The direct effects of the added material on the sample are: cooling, enhanced ... -
Industrial Thermal Insulation Properties above Sintering Temperatures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Processing highly flammable products, the oil and gas (O&G) industry can experience major explosions and fires, which may expose pressurized equipment to high thermal loads. In 2020, oil fires occurred at two Norwegian O&G ... -
Remote Virtual Simulation for Incident Commanders — Cognitive Aspects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, on-site Incident Commander (IC) practical training and examinations in Sweden were canceled as of March 2020. The graduation of one IC class was, however, conducted through Remote Virtual ... -
Flame height: Effect of one- and two-sided boundary surfaces
(Master thesis, 2021)Theory suggests that fires placed flush to one- and two-sided boundary surfaces will have an increase in flame height independent of fuel used and size of the fire. Meaning the flame height will increase when flush to a ... -
Long COVID in a prospective cohort of home-isolated patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Long-term complications after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are common in hospitalized patients, but the spectrum of symptoms in milder cases needs further investigation. We conducted a long-term follow-up in a ... -
Scenario Based Fire Risk Assessment; The effects of longitudinal ventilation in case of fire in an existing road tunnel
(Master thesis, 2021)This study examines the effect of longitudinal ventilation in case of fire in an existing road tunnel. The purpose of fire ventilation in road tunnels is to control heat and smoke transfer. Large tunnel fires can be a major ... -
Lip-height effect in diffusive pool fires
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A freeboard, lip height, from the container rim to the fuel surface affects the mass-loss rate of a pool fire. Experiments where heptane was burned in circular containers with diameter 10, 20 and 30 cm have been conducted. ... -
Periodisk bygningskontroll som alternativ til dagens tilsyn av særskilte brannobjekt
(Master thesis, 2021)I dag brukes en stor del av de forebyggende ressursene hos brannvesenet til tilsyn av særskilte brannobjekt. Det vurderes derfor som en fordel å kunne frigjøre noen av disse ressursene, som da vil kunne benyttes til andre ... -
Analysis of wood fuel moisture content on enclosure fire through small scale experiments
(Master thesis, 2021)Norway is a country where there are many dense residential areas consisting of wooden houses. Many of these areas consist of old buildings with historical value and mapping shows that there are 167 areas of this type. Areas ...
