Combining Problem-Based Learning and Team-Based Learning in a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship: How Do Students Spend Their Self-Study Time?

Self-study is essential for student learning, and active learning methods aim to facilitate constructive self-study time usage. How active learning strategies actually affect student self-study in medical education, however, remains partly unknown. The aim of this study was to examine medical students' use of self-study time in a longitudinal integrated clerkship employing active learning strategies.

The Norwegian traumatic grief inventory-self report plus (TGI-SR+): a psychometric evaluation in traumatically bereaved people.

Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) has been added to the ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR. The Traumatic Grief Inventory-Self Report Plus (TGI-SR+) assesses self-rated PGD intensity as defined in ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR. The TGI-SR + is available in multiple languages, but has not been validated yet in Norwegian.

Accumulation of copper and lead in ruminants grazing on a contaminated shooting range in Nordland County, Norway.

Shooting ranges contain copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) contamination, which can be a risk for grazing ruminants. This study examines the accumulation of lead and copper in blood of lambs and calves, as well as in the liver of lambs. It compares these results with those of a previous study, which calculated the ingested dose of copper and lead based on soil ingestion and concentration in soil and plants.

Evolutionary predictions for a parasite metapopulation: Modelling salmon louse resistance to pest controls in aquaculture.

Pests often evolve resistance to pest controls used in agriculture and aquaculture. The rate of pest adaptation is influenced by the type of control, the selective pressure it imposes, and the gene flow between farms. By understanding how these factors influence evolution at the metapopulation level, pest management strategies that prevent resistance from evolving can be developed.
