A long-term dataset of climatic mass balance, snow conditions, and runoff in Svalbard (1957-2018)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The climate in Svalbard is undergoing amplified change compared to the global mean. This has major implications for runoff from glaciers and seasonal snow on land. We use a coupled energy balance–subsurface model, forced ... -
A longitudinal analysis of the relationships of physical activity and body fat with nerve growth factor and brain-derived neural factor in children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neural factor (BDNF) are important for brain function and detectable in the blood. This study explored the longitudinal associations of physical activity and body fat ... -
A metamorphic controller for plant control system design
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)One of the major problems in the design of industrial control systems is the selection and parameterization of the control algorithm. In practice, the most common solution is the PI (proportional-integral) controller, which ... -

A mixed method study of an education intervention to reduce use of restraint and implement person-centered dementia care in nursing homes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: People living with dementia in nursing homes are most likely to be restrained. The primary aim of this mixed-method education intervention study was to investigate which factors hindered or facilitated staff ... -
A Mobile Prototype for Assisted Analysis in Physiotherapeutic Rehabilitation
(Bachelor thesis, 2019) -
A model driven approach to the design of a gamified e-learning system for clinical guidelines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are indispensable in the practice of evidence-based medicine. However, the cost of effective CPG dissemination strategies is prohibitive and not cost-effective. Therefore, scalable ... -
A Monte Carlo feasibility study for neutron based real-time range verification in proton therapy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Uncertainties in the proton range in tissue during proton therapy limit the precision in treatment delivery. These uncertainties result in expanded treatment margins, thereby increasing radiation dose to healthy tissue. ... -
A multicenter investigation of reablement in Norway: A clinical controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Reablement is an emerging approach in rehabilitation services, but evidence for its efficacy is rather weak and inconsistent. The purpose of the present study is therefore to investigate the health effects of ... -
A New Approach to Include Complex Grounding System in Lightning Transient Studies and EMI Evaluations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A new approach to lightning transient studies including complex grounding grids is presented in this paper. The grounding system is modeled in Matlab/Simulink based on the transmission line theory. Using a bottom-up approach ... -
A new convergence analysis for the two-step Newton method of order three
(Journal article, 2013) -
A novel geriatric assessment frailty score predicts 2-year mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Aims Established surgical scores have limitations in delineating risk among candidates for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Assessment of frailty might help to estimate the mortality risk and identify ... -
A numerical study of nonlinear dispersive wave models with spectravvave
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017) -
A pilot study testing the feasibility of skin temperature monitoring to reduce recurrent foot ulcers in patients with diabetes - a randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015) -
A positive association between nutritional risk and the incidence of surgical site infections: A hospital-based register study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Surgical site infections (SSI) are amongst the most common health care-associated infections and have adverse effects for patient health and for hospital resources. Although surgery guidelines recognize poor nutritional ... -
A predictive model for the spectral "bioalbedo" of snow
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We present the first physical model for the spectral “bioalbedo” of snow, which predicts the spectral reflectance of snowpacks contaminated with variable concentrations of red snow algae with varying diameters and pigment ... -
A Quantitative Analysis of the Impact of a CT Simulation Tool on Radiography Students’ Learning
(Bachelor thesis, 2019) -
A Quarterthiophene-Based Dye as an Efficient Interface Modifier for Hybrid Titanium Dioxide/Poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) Solar Cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This work focused on studying the influence of dyes, including a thiophene derivative dye with a cyanoacrylic acid group ((E)-2-cyano-3-(3′,3′′,3′′′-trihexyl-[2,2′:5′,2′′:5′′,2′′′- quaterthiophene]-5-yl) acrylicacid)(4T), ... -
A relational perspective on social support between bereaved and their networks after terror: A qualitative study.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The aim of this study is to increase the understanding of social network support after traumatic deaths and, by demonstrating the complexities of such encounters, to highlight whether such support may be totally beneficial. ... -
A retrospective review of how nonconformities are expressed and finalized in external inspections of health-care facilities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: External inspections are widely used in health care as a means of improving the quality of care. However, the way external inspections affect the involved organization is poorly understood. A better understanding ...
