Is European NATO really free-riding? Patterns of material and non-material burden-sharing after the Cold War
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Does European NATO free-ride on America? This article uses a mixed-methods approach to explore developments after the Cold War. I investigate both “material” measures, such as military expenditure and troop numbers, and a ... -
Is foot deformity associated with developmental dysplasia of the hip?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aims: To assess if congenital foot deformity is a risk factor for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Methods: Between 1996 and 2012, 60,844 children were born in Sør-Trøndelag county in Norway. In this cohort study, ... -
Is Frailty Index a better predictor than pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale for neurocognitive outcomes 3-months post-stroke?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background The prognostic value of frailty measures for post-stroke neurocognitive disorder (NCD) remains to be evaluated. Aims The aim of this study was to compare the predictive value of pre-stroke FI with pre-stroke ... -
Is Full-autonomy the Way to Go Towards Maximizing the Ocean Potentials?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Growth prospects for ocean economy are promising because ocean industries are addressing challenges such as food security, energy security and climate change. However, safety and efficiency are the general challenges of ... -
Is Gender a Competitive Balance Driver? Evidence from Scandinavian Football
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Research question: Women’s football is more popular than ever, but it still has much smaller attendance than men’s football. Rottenberg’s uncertainty of outcome hypothesis suggests a relationship between competitive balance ... -
Is global quality of life reduced before fracture in patients with low-energy wrist or hip fracture? A comparison with matched controls
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)Background: The aims of the study were (i) to examine global quality of life (GQOL) before fracture in patients with low-energy wrist or hip fracture compared with an age- and sex-matched control group, and (ii) to identify ... -
Is having asthma associated with an increased risk of dying from cardiovascular disease? A prospective cohort study of 446 346 Taiwanese adults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Objectives A significant proportion of cardiovascular disease (CVD) cannot be explained by well-known risk factors such as high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes. One potential novel risk factor for CVD is asthma. We ... -
Is Hygrothermal Aging of Construction Polymer Composites a Reversible Process?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper presents the effects of wet/dry cycling loading on the moisture uptake behavior of a Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite used in the civil engineering sector. FRP samples of various dimensions were cut from ... -
Is individual practice in an immersive and interactive virtual reality application non-inferior to practicing with traditional equipment in learning systematic clinical observation? A randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background The aim was to investigate if individual self-practice of the ABCDE approach (Airways, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure) in an immersive and interactive virtual reality (VR) application gave ... -
Is integration of Uncertainty Management and The Last Planner System a good idea?
(Chapter, 2018)The Last Planner System (LPS) is a tool for project planning and control, and is an important contribution from Lean Construction. LPS focuses on scheduling, task coordination and time management. Uncertainty Management ... -
Is interspecific gene flow and speciation in peatmosses (Sphagnum) constrained by phylogenetic relationship and life-history traits?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Peatmosses are interesting for studies of speciation processes not only because of their frequent hybridization and recent diversification, but also their phenotypic diversity, ecological importance and ancient history. ... -
Is intracranial volume a risk factor for IDH-mutant low-grade glioma? A case-control study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose Risk of cancer has been associated with body or organ size in several studies. We sought to investigate the relationship between intracranial volume (ICV) (as a proxy for lifetime maximum brain size) and risk of ... -
Is it cognitive effort you measure? Comparing three task paradigms to the Need for Cognition scale
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Measuring individual differences in cognitive effort can be elusive as effort is a function of motivation and ability. We report six studies (N = 663) investigating the relationship of Need for Cognition and working memory ... -
