Publikasjoner
NIBIOs ansatte publiserer flere hundre vitenskapelige artikler og forskningsrapporter hvert år. Her finner du referanser og lenker til publikasjoner og andre forsknings- og formidlingsaktiviteter. Samlingen oppdateres løpende med både nytt og historisk materiale. For mer informasjon om NIBIOs publikasjoner, besøk NIBIOs bibliotek.

The recent article entitled ‘‘The biosphere: A homogenizer of Pb-isotope signals` has attracted considerable interest from other researchers in this area. According to the critical comments by Bindler and Shotyk, the authors have supposedly neglected a substantial body of the literature and especially the reported temporal changes in Pb-isotope ratios in a variety of sample materials. They conclude that the urban transect is not appropriate for defining natural variation, and state that a substantial body of research indicates a limited uptake of Pb in plants.......

The present cross-sectional study was performed to analyze potential risk factors for upper extremity disorders in two groups of forest machine operators driving harvesting vehicles and performing equal tasks in France (n=18) and Norway (n=19). This comparative design implied similar work tasks, but potentially different external work demands. Previous studies have suggested higher levels of neck and shoulder complaints among Norwegian operators compared to those of the French. This may be related to different external work demands and/or individual motor performance. Surface electromyography (EMG) of the right upper trapezius (RUT) and extensor digitorum (RED) muscles were measured continuously during 1 working day (7.5–8 h per operator) and video of body postures was recorded inside the cabin (1 h per operator). A questionnaire on external work demand factors and psychosocial stressors was used together with the collection of symptom data. A physical examination was performed on all workers. Borg's CR-10 scale of intensity of discomfort/pain was rated four times throughout the test day. The French operators reported less complaint (p<0.01) in the right neck compared to their Norwegian colleagues. Furthermore, the French had on average two to three times longer lunch breaks during 5 work days, less continuous hand intensive use of the control lever with more frequent short breaks during the test day compared to the Norwegian operators. However, the average static load level on the RUT muscle for the whole working day was significantly higher among the French (0.7% EMGmax) in comparison with the Norwegian operators (0.3% EMGmax). No difference was found in number of periods with sustained low-level muscle activity neither in the RUT nor the RED muscle. In conclusion, our results support that the higher prevalence of discomfort/pain among the Norwegian forest machine operators may be related to organizational factors.
