New data on Leiomyza Macquart, 1835 (Diptera, Asteiidae) in Norway and Sweden, including the first records of L. scatophagina (Fallén, 1823) from Norway and of L. birkheadi Gibbs, 2007 from Sweden
No full textThe known distributions in Norway and Sweden for all Scandinavian species of Leiomyza Macquart, 1935 are updated. The first national records are reported for Leiomyza scatophagina (Fallén, 1823) from Norway (Innlandet and Møre og Romsdal) and for Leiomyza birkheadi Gibbs, 2007 from Sweden (Öland and Östergötland). After revision of museum specimens, L. laevigata (Meigen, 1830) is now known only from Skåne in Sweden.

Aversion to in-vehicle crowding before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic
Get PDFBased on four consecutive stated choice surveys, we estimate changes in public transport user’s valuation (marginal costs) of in-vehicle crowding due to the COVID-19 pandemic in two Norwegian cities. Compared to the pre-COVID level (November 2018), we find significantly higher costs during COVID (November 2021). Post-COVID costs (May 2022) are significantly reduced but remain above the pre-COVID level.publishedVersio
Prediction of VO2max from submaximal exercise using the smartphone application myworkout GO : validation study of a digital health method
Get PDFBackground: Physical inactivity remains the largest risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease worldwide. Wearable devices have become a popular method of measuring activity-based outcomes and facilitating behavior change to increase cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) or maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and reduce weight. However, it is critical to determine their accuracy in measuring these variables. Objective: This study aimed to determine the accuracy of using a smartphone and the application Myworkout GO for submaximal prediction of VO2max. Methods: Participants included 162 healthy volunteers: 58 women and 104 men (17-73 years old). The study consisted of 3 experimental tests randomized to 3 separate days. One-day VO2max was assessed with Metamax II, with the participant walking or running on the treadmill. On the 2 other days, the application Myworkout GO used standardized high aerobic intensity interval training (HIIT) on the treadmill to predict VO2max. Results: There were no significant differences between directly measured VO2max (mean 49, SD 14 mL/kg/min) compared with the VO2max predicted by Myworkout GO (mean 50, SD 14 mL/kg/min). The direct and predicted VO2max values were highly correlated, with an R2 of 0.97 (P<.001) and standard error of the estimate (SEE) of 2.2 mL/kg/min, with no sex differences. Conclusions: Myworkout GO accurately calculated VO2max, with an SEE of 4.5% in the total group. The submaximal HIIT session (4 x 4 minutes) incorporated in the application was tolerated well by the participants. We present health care providers and their patients with a more accurate and practical version of health risk estimation. This might increase physical activity and improve exercise habits in the general population.publishedVersio
Integration of health services – eight theses on coordination in a functionally differentiated healthcare system.
Get PDFÅ styrke samhandling i helsetjenesten er et sentralt politisk og faglig mål. Politiske målsettinger er gjerne ogsåutgangspunktet for studier og analyser av samhandling på bekostning av mer teoretisk funderte perspektiver. Denneartikkelen søker å bøte på teoriunderskuddet i forskningsfeltet ved å presentere et teoretisk perspektiv på samhand-ling og integrasjon i helsetjenesten. Mer spesifikt spør vi hva som er forutsetningene for samhandling i helsetje-nesten, og hvordan samhandling kan skape sosial integrasjon. Inspirert av Luhmanns teori om sosiale systemer ognyere skandinavisk systemteori presenterer vi åtte teser om samhandling i det vi beskriver som en funksjonelt diffe-rensiert helsetjeneste. Gjennom de åtte tesene diskuterer vi hvordan strukturelle forhold ved norsk helsetjenestepåvirker mulighetene for samhandling, hvordan vi kan forstå samhandling som sosialt fenomen, og hvordan sam-handling kan skape sosial integrasjon. Tesene utgjør en samlet argumentasjonsrekke som belyser sentrale spenningerog paradokser i helsetjenestens organisering. Gjennom begreper som polyfoni, lukkethet, kompleksitet og konfliktutfordrer vi i artikkelen også den normative retorikken i den helsepolitiske samhandlingsambisjonen – en retorikk vimener vanskeliggjør målet om bedre samhandling og integrasjon.
