Investigating the causal effect of maternal vitamin B12 and folate levels on offspring birthweight
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Lower maternal serum vitamin B12 (B12) and folate levels have been associated with lower offspring birthweight, in observational studies. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this relationship is ... -
Investigating the causal effect of smoking on hay fever and asthma: A Mendelian randomization meta-analysis in the CARTA consortium
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Observational studies on smoking and risk of hay fever and asthma have shown inconsistent results. However, observational studies may be biased by confounding and reverse causation. Mendelian randomization uses genetic ... -
Investigating the causal interplay between sleep traits and risk of acute myocardial infarction: a Mendelian randomization study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Few studies have investigated the joint effects of sleep traits on the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). No previous study has used factorial Mendelian randomization (MR) which may reduce confounding, ... -
Investigating the connectivity of the Hippocampus in a mouse model of congenital hypoplasia of the Dentate Gyrus
(Master thesis, 2021)Hippocampus (HC) har en viktig rolle i læring og minne, og subregionen dentate gyrus (DG) er antatt å være av spesiell betydelig for å løse komplekse minneoppgaver ved å filtrere ny informasjon. For å gjøre dette utøver ... -
Investigating the Consistency and Convexity of Restricted Boltzmann Machine Learning
(Master thesis, 2013)In this thesis we asses the consistency and convexity of the parameter inference in Boltzmann machine learning algorithms based on gradient ascent on the likelihood surface. We do this by rst developing standard tools for ... -
Investigating the effect of sex and ketosis on weight-loss-induced changes in appetite
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background Diet-induced weight loss (WL) is usually accompanied by increased appetite, a response that seems to be absent when ketogenic diets are used. It remains unknown if sex modulates the appetite suppressant effect ... -
Investigating the Effectiviness of Exercise in Improving Balance for Children with Down Syndrome: A Systematic Review
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Bakgrunn: Barn med Downs syndrom viser en forsinkelse i utviklingen av postural kontroll og frivillige komponenter av motorisk kontroll, sammenlignet med jevnaldrende. Forsinkelsen gjelder startposisjoner mot tyngdekraften, ... -
Investigating the frequencies of different exploratory actions among world-class climbers: Data from world cup bouldering competitions
(Master thesis, 2023)Tidligere studier har undersøkt utforskende handlinger i klatring, men ingen har undersøkt frekvensen av utforskende handlinger i buldring. Målet med denne studien var å beskrive frekvensen av utforskende handlinger som ... -
Investigating the immunomodulatory effects of SARS-CoV-2 proteins ORF3a, ORF6 and ORF9b on the inflammatory response of human lung epithelial cells
(Master thesis, 2022)The COVID-19 pandemic has taken an unprecedented number of lives and brought incredibly high social costs across the globe. The disease severity is associated with a strong innate immune dysregulation characterised by low ... -

Investigating the missing data mechanism in quality of life outcomes: a comparison of approaches
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)Background: Missing data is classified as missing completely at random (MCAR), missing at random (MAR) or missing not at random (MNAR). Knowing the mechanism is useful in identifying the most appropriate analysis. The ... -
Investigating the possible causal association of smoking with depression and anxiety using Mendelian randomisation meta-analysis: the CARTA consortium
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Objectives: To investigate whether associations of smoking with depression and anxiety are likely to be causal, using a Mendelian randomisation approach. Design: Mendelian randomisation meta-analyses using a genetic ... -
Investigating the relationship between allocentric spatial working memory and biomarker status in preclinical and prodromal Alzheimer’s disease.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The 4 Mountain Test (4MT) is a test of allocentric spatial working memory and has been proposed as an earlier marker of predementia Alzheimer’s disease (AD) than episodic verbal memory. We here compare the 4MT to the CERAD ... -
Investigating the relationship between non-occupational pesticide exposure and metabolomic biomarkers
