Microfibers (MFs) are frequently reported as the most dominant type of microplastic (MP) found in the marine water column and sediments. A major source of MFs is the use and washing of textiles. Although WWTPs can remove up to 98% of MP, estimates suggest billions of MP are still released from a...

Crumb rubber granulate (CRG) produced from end of life tires (ELTs) is commonly applied on indoor and outdoor synthetic turf pitches (STPs), playgrounds, safety surfaces and walkways. In addition to fillers, stabilizers, cross-linking agents and secondary components (e.g. pigments, oils, resins...

This chapter presents an overview of the knowledge on the impacts and toxicity of particulate plastics to a range of marine functional groups, including both acute and sub-lethal endpoints. A laboratory study on plastic leachates showed differential toxicity to the harpacticoid copepod Nitocra...

Background Despite rising demand for mental health services, a significant proportion (20-30%) of GPs’ referrals to specialist mental health services in Norway are rejected. Little is known about how GPs experience and respond to these rejections. Aim This study explores how Norwegian GPs...

Denne rapporten utreder konseptet FiskInfoPlattformen: en digital plattform for fangst og bærekraftsrapportering basert på operasjonell datafangst under fiske. Arbeidet tar utgangspunkt i grunnstammen for databaserte fiskeritjenester som ble etablert i FHF prosjekt 901803 og utvider dette med...

Denne rapporten er et resultat av forskningsprosjektet Kunstig intelligens i kunnskapsarbeid og samspillet med den norske modellen, gjennomført av SINTEF Digital på oppdrag fra Akademikerne. Formålet har vært å utforske hvordan kunstig intelligens påvirker kunnskapsarbeidere i både privat og...

Denne rapporten beskriver SINTEF Digital sin virksomhet som teknisk kontrollorgan for 2024. SINTEF, ved Senter for jernbanesertifisering – SJS, ble 16. desember 2003 teknisk kontrollorgan (Notified Body - NoBo) under EU direktiv 96/48/EC (samtrafikkevnen i det europeiske jernbanesystem for...

The growing trend of using lithium-ion batteries as intermediate energy storage for renewable sources like solar panels is expected to increase in this decade, especially in buildings. Photovoltaic and Li-ion battery systems introduce certain fire risks which need to be considered before their...

...- Vi setter aldri spørsmålstegn ved kvaliteten på data fra kliniske studier i Norge og Norden, men god kvalitet alene er ikke nok. Det må også leveres raskt og effektivt....

Vi kan ikke lenger drive helsetjenesten som før. Nye helseteknologier er en del av løsningen og gir oss utallige muligheter - men hvordan skal vi få det til? På dette arrangementet vil vi diskutere nøkkelfaktorer som samarbeid, tilgang på kapital, implementering av kunstig intelligens og hvordan vi...

Macrophage activation has emerged as a key area in immunology, in which they are polarized to adopt different functional phenotypes in response to various environmental signals. Here, we describe the procedure of isolating human primary CD14+ monocytes and polarization toward M1 (pro-inflammatory...

Direct air capture (DAC) has recently emerged as a promising and scalable solution for removing accumulated CO₂ in the atmosphere to mitigate global warming. Because DAC needs to capture CO₂ from highly diluted levels in the air, it has considerably higher energy demands than conventional CO...

Norway’s Working Environment Act sets high standards for physical and psychosocial safety. Tripartite cooperation ensures digital tools are co-designed with unions and employers. The IA Agreement focuses on preventing sick leave and exclusion from work. Privacy is strictly regulated—monitoring must...
