  Decomposition in differing snow regimes in high Arctic Svalbard 

  Heavyside, Paige Kathryn (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-29)

  Rapidly rising temperatures are having great effects on the high arctic ecosystem, historically characterized by long, cold winter periods, and cold dry summers. Due to the length of the winter season, arctic soils have been an important carbon sink, but may now be facing increased microbial activity due to increasing temperatures. Temperature, moisture, and litter quality play important roles in ...

  Cardiotoxic Effects from the Water-Soluble Fraction of Crude Oil on an Arctic Keystone Species – Polar Cod (Boreogadus saida) 

  Teisrud, Ragnar Nicolaysen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-23)

  Abstract The Arctic ecosystems and its species are under increased anthropogenic pressure from both climate change and industrial activities. Of special interest is pollution from petrogenic substances, and in particular accidental oil spills, that pose a risk to arctic marine organisms. An oil spill in the Arctic may see crude oil encapsulated into the sea ice and over time leaching to surface ...

  Vurdering av naturvitskapleg prosess og metode på ungdomstrinnet. Ein kvalitativ studie av elevar si oppfatning og gjennomføring av utforskande oppgåver relatert til naturfaget sin prosessdimensjon. 

  Espe, Oda Kristin (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-31)

  Utforskande arbeidsmåtar er eit resultat av naturvitskapleg tradisjon, og synleggjer naturfaget sin prosessdimensjon. Føremålet med studien var utvikling og pilotering av ei fagprøve i naturfag på 8.trinn. Dette gav opphav til problemstillinga: "På kva måte gjennomfører og opplever elevar på ungdomstrinnet utforskande oppgåver som stiller krav til naturvitskapleg prosess?" Studien ønska samt å ...

  Development of diving capacity and behaviour in harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) weanlings from the Greenland Sea Stock 

  Malde, Aleksander (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)

  This study represents one of the first studies that has explored the spatial and temporal differences in diving behaviour of weaned harp seal pups (Pagophilus groenlandicus) from the Greenland Sea stock. The study is also the first to map the weaned harp seal pups from the Greenland Sea population. In April 2017, newly weaned harp seal pups (n=26) from the Greenland Sea stock were tagged with satellite ...

  In Silico Screening for inhibitors against Apicoplast Phosphate Translocator from Toxoplama gondii 

  Shamsuzzaman, Muhammad (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-16)

  Apicomplexa parasites, including Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum, contain a secondary endosymbiosis-derived plastid like organ, called apicoplast, which is an anabolic hub. This apicoplast is fueled by phosphate translocator (APT), which transport phosphorylated sugar molecules in exchange of inorganic phosphate. Disruption of APT in T. gondii was found to be lethal for parasite. Beside ...
