This paper discusses actual and possible achievements and failures of Codland and examines it from the point of view of efficiency and in terms of distribution. It is argued in favour of the joint analysis of the two approaches when contemplating fisheries management reforms, since such reforms may create both winners and losers. The analysis demonstrates how rent drain from fishing communities and ...

Exosomes are secreted nanosize vesicles (30−100 nm) derived from multivesicular endosomes. Exosomes are released by different immune cell types, including T- and B-lymphocytes, mast cells and antigen-presenting cells (APCs). The composition of exosomes - including protein and RNA content reflects their endosomal origin and the type of cells that produce them. Mammalian APCs produce large amounts ...

The overall goal for CRISP (WP 5) is to contribute to, and develop, the competitive power of the trawling fleet by implement new technology and knowledge. The focus is on the processing, from when the fish is in the trawl at the seabed until the processed and finished raw material is packed and in storage.

A novel brominated alkaloid, Securidine A, was isolated from the cold water marine bryozoan Securiflustra securifrons. Securidine A was isolated using semi-preparative HPLC, and the structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The isolated Securidine A was tested for cytotoxic, antibacterial, and anti-diabetic activities as well as for its potential for inhibition of biofilm formation. No ...

This study has an historical prospective design by including in retrospect all screening- and follow-up tests for women aged 25 to 69 years old kept by the Department of Clinical Pathology, University Hospital of Northern Norway, Tromsø. All women with a first ASC-US/LSIL smear in 1996-98 and 2006-08 were identified and compared on outcomes such as proportion of cases resolved within 35 months of ...

The difference between the concepts of profit and rent are discussed theoretically and by using aggregated data from the Icelandic and Norwegian fish harvesting industries. The former is a basic indicator for gauging the business performance of firms and industries, and the latter is important for the evaluation of the economic welfare contribution of resources and industries. The importance of ...
