(Menntavísindasvið Háskóla Íslands, 2017-12-31)Í árslok 2016 kom út skýrsla um könnun á vistun barna á Kópavogshæli á árunum 1952– 1993. Í niðurstöðum skýrslunnar kom meðal annars fram að börn á Kópavogshæli hefðu sætt ofbeldi, illri meðferð og vanrækslu. Í kjölfar útkomu skýrslunnar varð mikil ... -
(Menntavísindasvið Háskóla Íslands, 2017-12-31)Fjöldi íslenskra barna stundar æfingar hjá íþróttafélögum í frítíma sínum og mótast börnin á ýmsan hátt af umhverfi íþróttamiðstöðva og nágrennis. Markmið rannsóknarinnar var að rannsaka fæðuval 10–18 ára barna í tengslum við íþróttaæfingar þeirra ...

(Menntavísindasvið Háskóla Íslands, 2017-12-31)Miðlanotkun spannar sjónvarpsáhorf, tölvuleiki, netnotkun og snjalltækjanotkun. Í ljósi tækniþróunar er mikilvægt að rannsaka miðlanotkun barna allt niður í nokkurra mánaða aldur en það hefur ekki verið gert á Íslandi hingað til. Markmið rannsóknarinnar ...

(Springer Nature, 2017-05-23)The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) encodes proteins that are central for antigen presentation and pathogen elimination. MHC class I (MHC-I) genes have attracted a great deal of interest among researchers in ecology and evolution and have been ...
-
(Genetics Society of America, 2004-07-01)The Epidermal growth factor receptor is an essential gene with diverse pleiotropic roles in development throughout the animal kingdom. Analysis of sequence diversity in 10.9 kb covering the complete coding region and 6.4 kb of potential regulatory ...
-
(Genetics Society of America, 2004-07-01)As part of an effort to dissect quantitative trait locus effects to the nucleotide level, association was assessed between 238 single-nucleotide and 20 indel polymorphisms spread over 11 kb of the Drosophila melanogaster Egfr locus and nine relative ...
-
(PeerJ, 2018-02-07)Phenotypic differences between closely related taxa or populations can arise through genetic variation or be environmentally induced, leading to altered transcription of genes during development. Comparative developmental studies of closely related ...

(Informa UK Limited, 2017-04-03)Migration is a gendered process that shapes the lives of men and women differently, because they generally occupy dissimilar positions within the household, the labour market and society. This article examines gender and migration within a Nordic ...
-
(Informa UK Limited, 2016-06-23)In the aftermath of the financial crisis that hit Iceland in October 2008, increased numbers of Icelanders migrated to Norway to seek employment due to difficult economic circumstances in Iceland. Using critical perspectives from postcolonial studies ...

(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017-08)Stormwater ponds provide cost and space-efficient treatment of urban runoff via gravitational settling. The goal of this paper was to quantify different mechanisms by which wind can affect the particle removal efficiency of a shallow retention pond. ...
-
(Elsevier BV, 2017-08)Relative sea-level (RSL) data provide constraints on land uplift associated with former ice loading and can be used to differentiate between contrasting ice unloading scenarios. Isolation basin, coastal lowland and geomorphological evidence is employed ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2017-08-09)Phytochemical investigation on the methanol extract of Woodwardia unigemmata resulted in the isolation of seven flavonoids, including one new flavonol acylglycoside (1). The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive ...
-
(The Royal Society, 2017-08)Domestic animals are often described as paedomorphic, meaning that they retain juvenile characteristics into adulthood. Through a three-dimensional landmark-based geometric morphometric analysis of cranial morphology at three growth stages, we ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2017-08-08)A meta-analysis of publicly available summary statistics on multiple sclerosis combined with three Nordic multiple sclerosis cohorts (21,079 cases, 371,198 controls) revealed seven sequence variants associating with multiple sclerosis, not reported ...
-
(Copernicus GmbH, 2017-09-12)The separation of volcanic ash and sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas is sometimes observed during volcanic eruptions. The exact conditions under which separation occurs are not fully understood but the phenomenon is of importance because of the effects volcanic ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2002-12)We report on observations of upper mantle anisotropy from the splitting of teleseismic shear waves (SKS, SKKS, and PKS) recorded by the ICEMELT broadband seismometer network in Iceland. In a ridge-centered hot spot locale, mantle anisotropy may be ...
-
(Springer Nature, 1998-09)Iceland, one of the most thoroughly investigated hotspots1,2,3, is generally accepted to be the manifestation of an upwelling mantle plume4. Yet whether the plume originates from the lower mantle or from a convective instability at a thermal boundary ...
-
(SAGE Publications, 2018-02)This article contributes to recent research on young women’s emerging feminist movements or feminist counter-publics (see Salter, 2013) in the digital age. The focus is on the #freethenipple protests in Iceland in 2015 organised by young women and the ...
-
(The Seismological Society of America, 1999)The mantle electromagnetic and tomography (MELT) experiment on the east Pacific rise near 17°S was the first large teleseismic experiment on a midocean ridge. During the six-month deployment, no compressional arrivals were well recorded above 0.5 ...
-
(The Seismological Society of America, 1989)We have completed a comprehensive study of focal mechanisms of digitally recorded earthquakes (M, -_< 4.4) that occurred in the Wasatch front region in Utah during 1980 to 1986. Single-event solutions for 24 events were determined using recently ...
