Main research question: How is seafood consumption influenced by overweight and health beliefs in a region of traditional high-level fish consumption? Materials and methods: A randomly drawn sample of women aged 45-69 years who live in Northern Norway answered a self-administrated questionnaire about eating habits, socioeconomic factors and questions related...
Main research question: The aim of the study was to investigate how health perception, eating habits and
socioeconomic pattern influence choice of seafood. Materials and methods: A randomly drawn sample of Norwegian women
aged 45 to 69 years answered a self-administrated mail questionnaire about eating habits, socioeconomic status, and
questions...
This dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy addresses two main research questions. On a macro-level it aims to answer how gender ideologies, as seen in attitudes towards the gendered division of labor, develop over time in the context of changing family policy regimes. On a...
The hypotheses to be tested in this investigation are: 1) there is a threshold level of liver lipid and glycogen content above which the health condition of hatchery-reared fish is impaired, 2) fatty and high glycogen livers impair liver function and structure, and 3) fatty and high glycogen livers increase...
In October 2000, the Matarranya River suffered an extraordinary flood with a measured flow rate of approximately 450 m³/s in
the town of Vall-de-roures and a return period of about 500 years, according to the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation. The
objective of this study was to determine the influence of the...
Atmospheric surface layer turbulent statistics measured during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment 8 and 30 m above mean sea level are presented. The budget equations of turbulent kinetic energy, humility variance and temperature variance are examined. Within discussed limitations it is concluded that production equals dissipation in the case...
A new weevil species (urn:lsid:zoobank.org: act:2D5E9E4A-A250-4D0A-AF69-CF4753436686), Pseudopilolabus othnius Poinar, Brown and Legalov, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Attelabidae), is described from Dominican amber. The new species is close to the extant P. viridanus (Gyllenhal, 1839) and P. splendens (Gyllenhal, 1839) but differs by having a bronzed body, narrower and more convex elytral...
Optical remote sensing is used to measure flow patterns in the swash zone. Timestack images are analyzed to measure the asymmetry and the relative duration of the inflow into the swash zone. This varies significantly between individual swashes, contrary to the classical analytical swash model for runup induced by bores,...
