  • The Haunting of Ukraine: A Geopolitical Spectacle of Self-Destruction 

    Polishchuk, Alexandra (Master thesis, 2025)
    This thesis has identified four interweaving causes of the Russo-Ukrainian war. The first is domestic fragmentation between cultural identities and political models of statehood, internal contradictions which have fused with modern political currents and have thus embedded themselves within competing geopolitical paradigms – the second cause of war. Indeed, this toxic union has cemented Ukraine’s ...

Noen fortellinger vektlegger det militære bidraget ...

    The project aimed to enhance Atlantic salmon's performance and biosecurity by manipulating their microbiome. The study investigated whether specific seawater bacteria from healthy salmon skin could improve smolts' survival after seawater transfer. Scale-explants were used to study host-bacterial interactions. Although some bacteria showed probiotic potential, they did not significantly reduce ...
