Aerobic and anaerobic speed predicts 800-m running performance in young recreational runners
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The main aim was to investigate the impact of maximal aerobic speed (MAS), maximal anaerobic speed (MANS), and time to exhaustion (TTE) at 130% MAS, on 800-m running time performance (800TT). A second aim was to investigate ... -
An Aesthetic Factor Priority List of the Female Breast in Scandinavian Subjects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: There is little consensus about the relative determinative value of each individual factor in female breast aesthetics. When performing breast surgery with an aesthetic goal, certain factors will be more important ... -
Affordances of School Ground Environments for Physical Activity: A Case Study on 10- and 12-Year-Old Children in a Norwegian Primary School
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Several studies have focused on how different school ground environments can stimulate physical activity (PA) in children. This study aimed to investigate the contributions of two school ground environments (a constructed ... -
Age-related changes in somatic condition and reproduction in the Eurasian beaver: Resource history influences onset of reproductive senescence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Using 15 years of data from a stable population of wild Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber), we examine how annual and lifetime access to food resources affect individual age-related changes in reproduction and somatic condition. ... -
An agile co-creation process for digital servitization: A micro-service innovation approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this paper, we explore how manufacturing firms and their customers co-create digital service innovations in an attempt to address the digitalization paradox. We present empirical insights from a case study of four ... -
Agile new solution development in manufacturing companies.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This conceptual paper proposes a new agile solution development model for technology and manufacturing companies. The flexible model consists of five key phases: 1) new idea screening, 2) idea nurturing, 3) conversion of ... -
Agile product development practices for coping with learning paradox in R&D offshore units
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)R&D offshoring involves the relocation of in-house R&D activities to subsidiary units located in other countries, often associated with low-cost engineering work, to meet global operational requirements. The main motivation ... -
Agreement between reconstructed and modeled boreal precipitation of the Last Interglacial
