  Renal Sympathetic Denervation. Quality of Life, Hypertensive Heart Disease and Biomarker Discovery 

  Subbotina, Anna (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-12-05)

  Hypertension, which affects about one-third of adults worldwide, is a leading cause of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Despite the known benefits of lowering blood pressure, control remains inadequate worldwide. Only half of those with hypertension are aware of their condition, and even fewer receive adequate treatment. Among those treated, many do not achieve target blood pressure levels. ...

  Nominal coercion at the syntax-semantics interface: an investigation of countability, events and gender 

  Sant, Charlotte (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-12-02)

  In the thesis, I investigate the relationship between syntax and semantics. To what extent does syntax accommodate meaning, and how? To aid my investigation, I consider three different case studies: 1) grinding and portioning (and lack thereof) in Mainland Scandinavian; 2) frequency adjectives in English; 3) pancake sentences in Mainland Scandinavian. These case studies give insight into the roles ...

  Schooling and language usage matter in heritage bilingual processing: Sortal classifiers in Mandarin 

  Hao, Jiuzhou; Kubota, Maki; Bayram, Fatih; Gonzalez Alonso, Jorge; Grüter, Theres; Li, Muhan; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-09-23)

  Mandarin sortal classifiers simultaneously encode semantic and grammatical form class cues. Building on a second language (L2) study of Grüter et al. we used the same visual world eye-tracking experiment, designed to examine the relative use of the two cues, testing Mandarin heritage speakers (HSs) living in an English-speaking environment. Given the importance of understanding individual differences, ...

  Singular Value Decomposition-based Multiple Model Approach towards Developing Digital Twin Applications in Ship Performance Prediction 

  Taghavi, Mahmood; Perera, Lokukaluge Prasad Channa (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)

  Representing the entire operational range of an ocean-going vessel with linear equations is often a formidable task. In this research study, a datadriven localized model is presented for ship performance prediction as a part of the digital twin development. For this purpose, different operational conditions of the vessel, i.e., data clusters, are identified using the Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) ...

  Use and perception of risk: traditional medicines of Pakistani immigrants in Norway 

  Khalid, Saliha; Kristoffersen, Agnete Egilsdatter; Alpers, Lise-Merete; Borge, Christine Råheim; Qureshi, Samera Azeem; Stub, Trine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-07)

  Background - Pakistani immigrants are the largest non-Western ethnic minority group in Norway. Traditional medicines (TM) are extensively used in Pakistan, and studies show that ethnic minorities also use them to recover from illness after migration to the Western world. This study aims to explore Pakistani immigrants’ experiences and perceptions of risk regarding the use of TM to treat illnesses. ...
