In the early Universe, most of the cold neutral gas that will later form into individual stars and galaxies is practically invisible to us. These neutral gas reservoirs can, however, be illuminated by bright cosmic lightsources such as gamma-ray bursts ...

This research is a contribution to critical feminist scholarship on intimate partner violence (IPV). The project adopts the framework of affective–discursive practices to understand how violence thrives and is discursively maintained in Icelandic ...

Neurodevelopmental disorders on the impulsivity-compulsivity spectrum are chronic disabling conditions with an early onset. High rates of comorbidity have been reported between Tourette syndrome (TS), Tics disorder (Tics), obsessive compulsive ...

Introduction and aims: Development of the nervous system is a complex and highly regulated process that, when impaired, can result in a multitude of disorders of varying behavioural, cognitive, and functional severity. Variation in brain structure and ...

The volcanic island of Surtsey, off the south coast of Iceland, was formed by shallow ocean-emergent basaltic volcanism in 1963-1967. There were several episodes of activity, migrating between five vents (Surtur, Surtla, Surtungur, Syrtlingur and Jólnir) ...

Background and aims: Previous studies in geothermal and volcanic areas have shown high risk of certain types of cancers. The aim was to study the association between residence in geothermal areas and the incidence and mortality of cancer in ...

Demographic changes in Iceland, like almost everywhere in the world, have influenced the linguistic and cultural landscapes of preschools. The objective of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how preschool can serve as an inclusive and ...

Climate change constitutes one of the most pressing challenges faced by tourism today. Tourism research on climate-induced environmental changes has contributed to an increase in knowledge about adaptation during the last decade. Despite a general ...

A fundamental requisite for genetic studies is an accurate determination of sequence variation. While human genome sequence diversity is increasingly well characterized, there is a need for efficient ways to utilize this knowledge in sequence analysis. ...

Post-eruptive deformation following volcanic eruptions may originate from continued magma movements, or reflect delayed and continued Earth adjustment due to co-eruptive events, often referred to as viscoelastic relaxation. Post-eruptive deformation ...
