Isolation of bioactive products from the marine environment is considered a very promising approach to identify new compounds that can be used for further drug development. In this work we have isolated three new compounds from the purpuroine family by mass-guided preparative HPLC; purpuroine K-M. These compounds where screened for antibacterial- and antifungal activity, antibiofilm formation and ...

<i>Background</i> - General knowledge on climate change effects and adaptation strategies has increased significantly in recent years. However, there is still a substantial information gap regarding the influence of climate change on infectious diseases and how these diseases should be identified. From a One Health perspective, zoonotic infections are of particular concern. The climate in Northern ...

Following their near extirpation by industrial whaling of the 20th century, the population status of Southern Hemisphere fin whales (SHFW) remains unknown. Systematic surveys estimating fin whale abundance in the Southern Ocean are not yet available. Records of fin whale sightings have been collected by a variety of organisations over the past few decades, incorporating both opportunistic data and ...

Nature-based tourism is increasingly encouraged to support local socioeconomic development in and around protected areas, but managing protected areas for tourism could challenge existing park uses associated with self-organized outdoor recreation and local resource use. We used a web-based Public Participatory Geographic Information System (PPGIS) to identify the most important places and values ...

Doctoral candidates are facing a diverse employment landscape that shifted significantly in the last decades, with less than 30 % of doctoral graduates working in academia or in research and development related jobs. In addition to becoming more inter-sectoral, working environments are becoming increasingly inter-national and inter-disciplinary. This development can make the employment requirements ...

Fra og med 1. januar 2005 måtte alle børsnoterte foretak som følge av EØS-avtalen avlegge konsernregnskapet etter IFRS. Dette er et regnskapsregime som skiller seg fra det norske på flere områder, men den utstrakte bruken av virkelig verdi som måleattributt i IFRS er kanskje den største forskjellen mellom de to regimene. Studien ser på de vesentligste forskjellene mellom NGAAP og IFRS og hvilke ...

The Atlantic salmon farming industry is constantly growing in Norway and if managed properly can present a viable solution to the constantly increasing food demand resulting from staggering human population growth. However, one of the main challenges the industry is facing are re- curring fish viral disease outbreaks. Fish vaccination strategies, especially with multicompo- nent vaccines, is used ...

An image is what we have in our head and what we make up in an allegory, a name, a metaphor, a text, a map or in a drawing. None of these should be confused with the thing that is being imagined. They are not the real thing, just our imaginations of it. Still, we could not do without them, for instance when governing small-scale fisheries. They make us understand what we are up to and the track we ...

Studien omhandler norsk regnskapspraksis i ved egenutvikling av immaterielle eiendeler materialisert via egne forsknings og utviklingsaktiviteter. Studien gjennomgår norsk regnskapspraksis sett opp mot den internasjonale regnskapsstandarden IAS 38. Studien gjennomgår definisjonskriterier og kriterier for balanseføring. I studien har jeg benyttet to casebedrifter, hver av dem anvender ulik regnskapsprakis ...

Torskeoppdrett er en lovende industri i Norge, men problemer med blant annet bakteriesykdommer gjør at næringen fortsatt har problemer med å etablere seg. For å få kontroll med sykdomsproblemene i næringen, er grunnleggende kunnskap om hvordan torsken beskytter seg mot infeksjoner nødvendig. Hensikten med dette doktorgradsarbeidet har vært å studere forsvarssystemet hos torsk, med et spesielt fokus ...
