Abstract Background Advance care planning provides a structured approach to conversations about values and preferences but is uncommon in clinical practice. We implemented advance care planning as routine at the initiation of an individually tailored palliative care pathway in No...

Employment Status Among Self-Employed Cancer Survivors: A 5-Year Registry-Based Study from Norway

Background: Compared to salaried people, self-employed people have received considerably less research attention regarding health, working conditions, and rehabilitation. Objective: To examine the long-term effects (up to five years) of cancer on employment among self-employed ca...

Strengthening pharmacovigilance systems through Africa-Europe collaboration: Insights from a regulatory roundtable discussion

Background Many African countries have established national pharmacovigilance (PV) centers under their medicines regulatory authorities, but multiple barriers still limit system performance. Comprehensive, well-enforced PV regulations are often lacking, and the reporting culture...

Niobium‐Based Chalcogenides as Emerging Electrode Materials for Rechargeable Batteries

ABSTRACT Niobium (Nb)‐based transition metal chalcogenides (Nb‐TMCs), including NbS 2 , NbSe 2 , and NbTe 2 , have attracted considerable attention as promising two‐dimensional (2D) materials for rechargeable batteries because of their layered crystal structures, high electrical...

Gastrointestinal helminth abundance in the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) is affected by sex, pregnancy and habitat type

Abstract Internal parasites exploit host resources and may reduce host fitness and population viability. Parasite prevalence and abundance may be associated with intrinsic factors including sex, age and body condition, and extrinsic factors including habitat type and population d...

Nurses' Perspectives on a Communication Model Between Providers and Mechanically Ventilated Patients in the Intensive Care Unit

ABSTRACT Background Communication with mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care is complex. Decades of research demonstrate that communication barriers are commonly experienced and one of the most challenging experiences during an intensive care stay. Support for the he...

Norwegian lambic-style acidic beers share key microorganisms and metabolites with Belgian lambic beers, although typical microbial phases are less pronounced

Belgian-style acidic ale beers are gaining interest worldwide. These sour beers comprise the spontaneously fermented Belgian lambic beers and beers that are inspired by them, including American coolship ales. This study identified the microbiota present during Norwegian lambic-st...

Shifting multilingual identities through short-term study abroad: A Q-methodology study of Norwegian learners of French

Abstract Understanding how study abroad shapes multilingual identity (Darvin and Norton 2015; Norton 2000) has implications for both theory and the design of increasingly prevalent short-term exchange programmes. This study examined how a one-week Erasmus-funded immersion in Fran...

Maxxing Culture: A Preliminary Conceptual Mapping

This paper offers a preliminary conceptual mapping of maxxing culture by treating “-maxxing” not as a series of isolated internet trends but as a platform-native grammar of self-optimization. The argument distinguishes three interacting dimensions: linguistic, through a productiv...

An Evidence-Based Framework for Hardware Security Evaluation Using Side-Channel Analysis: Leakage Detection, Key-Recovery Validation, and Robustness Assessment

Side-channel analysis (SCA) remains a significant threat to embedded cryptographic implementations, yet hardware security evaluation often lacks a systematic workflow that links leakage detection, exploitability validation, trace-efficiency estimation, and robustness assessment....

‘It’s not fun, because it’s not allowed’: indoor running, participation and children’s agency in a Norwegian ECEC centre

This article examines the scope of children’s agency in light of children’s right to participate in an indoor Norwegian ECEC centre, focusing on running activities. Drawing on data from a Norwegian ECEC centre, the study explores children’s and teachers’ perceptions of indoor run...

Who shapes Resilience Engineering? Gendered epistemic asymmetries in a socio-technical knowledge community

Resilience engineering is concerned with modelling adaptive capacity and performance variability in complex systems. As such, it constitutes a body of research and a knowledge community whose epistemic configuration may shape theoretical development primarily in ergonomics and so...

CT sinus imaging utilization in Norway: trends over time and variation by region, age, and sex

Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT) of the sinuses is a standard component of radiological diagnostics. CT of the sinuses are often regarded as low-value care owing to their minimal impact on disease management. The aim of this study is to describe geographical and tempo...

When industrial companies implement circular business models, what do they really do?

Purpose Implementing circular business models (CBMs) in industry is promising yet difficult. Prior research has largely focused on identifying barriers to CBM adoption and the enablers needed to overcome them. However, addressing barriers alone is insufficient, as circularity mus...

Oral health and systemic health outcomes: A call for interdisciplinary action

Abstract Objectives To make the case, from periodontology and dental public health, for interdisciplinary action on oral and systemic health, and to set out recommendations for practice, policy, education, and research. Materials and Methods A joint working group of the European...

Mapping Boundary Conditions and Bottlenecks of Learning Analytics Dashboard Acceptance: A Cross-Group and Cross-Design Comparison

Drawing on extended Technology Acceptance Model, this study argues that learner's Learning Analytics Dashboards (LADs) data literacy and LAD cognitive complexity are boundary conditions that shape learner LAD acceptance. Two learner groups, one with LAD data literacy and another...

Applying Bjørk’s model as a framework for practical skill performances in nursing education placement: a qualitative content analysis of students’ reflection notes

Abstract Background As many newly graduated nurses lack proficiency in practical nursing skills, understanding their development during education and placements is important for delivering high-quality patient care. This study explored first-year nursing students’ reflections on...

Perceived technology readiness of maritime autonomous surface ship technologies
