(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-06-02)Background: Malaria is still the number one killer in sub-Saharan Africa, even though it is in principle a preventable and treatable disease. A large amount of progress has been made over the last decades, but there is still a long way to go.

Male and female immediate fear reaction to white noise in a semi-natural environment: A detailed behavioural analysis of the role of sex and oestrogen receptors
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-01)In classical rodent anxiety models, females usually display lower anxiety than males, whereas anxiety disorders are more prevalent in women. Perhaps this contradiction is caused by the use of behavioural models with low external validity. Therefore, we analysed immediate reactions to a sudden 90-dB white noise in a semi-natural environment. We observed mixed-sex groups of rats for the 60 seconds ... -
Male rat sexual behavior: Insights from inter-copulatory intervals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-09)The assessment of sexual behavior in male rats with the aim of unraveling underlying neurobiological mechanisms has in the recent decades been reduced to the annotation of mounts, intromissions and ejaculations. To provide a better understanding of the structure and patterns of copulation, it is necessary to extend and tailor the analysis to the natural organization of male rat copulation. This will ... -
Maligne og precancerøse hudlesjoner hos nyretransplanterte pasienter - En prospektiv studie fra privat spesialistpraksis
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-07-31)Maligne og premaligne hudlesjoner er vanlig hos immunsupprimerte pasienter. Flere risikofaktorer er årsak til denne utviklingen. Det er gjort flere retrospektive studier på dette emnet, men mange av disse er gjort i geografiske områder med annen eksponering for karsinogene faktorer enn i en norsk populasjon. Det er gjort få prospektive studier på samme emne. Vårt mål er å se på forekomsten både av ... -

«Mamma, er du mest glad i telefonen eller i meg?» En kvalitativ studie av småbarnsforeldres erfaringer med og forhold til mobilbruk rundt barna
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-12-14)Det er gjort mye forskning på hvilke innvirkninger småbarnsforeldres mobilbruk kan ha på forelder-barn-interaksjoner og potensielt barns utvikling. Færre studier har undersøkt foreldres holdninger til mobilbruk og blant norske populasjoner er forskningen knapp. Vi gjennomførte en kvalitativ studie med semistrukturerte intervjuer for å undersøke hvilke holdninger småbarnsforeldre har rundt sin egen ... -
Mammalian Atg8 proteins regulate lysosome and autolysosome biogenesis through SNAREs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-18)Mammalian homologs of yeast Atg8 protein (mAtg8s) are important in autophagy, but their exact mode of action remains ill‐defined. Syntaxin 17 (Stx17), a SNARE with major roles in autophagy, was recently shown to bind mAtg8s. Here, we identified LC3‐interacting regions (LIRs) in several SNAREs that broaden the landscape of the mAtg8‐SNARE interactions. We found that Syntaxin 16 (Stx16) and its cognate ... -

Man Enough to Care: Masculinity Threat and Misfit of Men Studying Communal Occupations
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-04-28)Fra en ung alder har menn internalisert kjønnsstereotypier av hva det vil si å være en "ekte" mann. Maskulinitetstrussel er frykten en mann opplever når de internaliserte kjønnsstereotypene ikke opprettholdes, de føler at maskuliniteten deres blir truet. I denne studien tar vi sikte på å undersøke om det å fremheve viktigheten av omsorgstrekk for mannlige studenter – men ikke kvinnelige studenter – ... -
