CRISPR/Cas9—Advancing Orthopoxvirus Genome Editing for Vaccine and Vector Development
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-22): The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/associated protein 9 (Cas9) technology is revolutionizing genome editing approaches. Its high efficiency, specificity, versatility, flexibility, simplicity and low cost have made the CRISPR/Cas9 system preferable to other guided site-specific nuclease-based systems such as TALENs (Transcription Activator-like Effector ... -

A critical review of the Mediterranean sea turtle rescue network: a web looking for a weaver
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-16)A key issue in conservation biology is recognizing and bridging the gap between scientific results and specific action. We examine sea turtles—charismatic yet endangered flagship species—in the Mediterranean, a sea with historically high levels of exploitation and 22 coastal nations. We take sea turtle rescue facilities as a visible measure for implemented conservation action. Our study yielded ... -
Critical Role of an MHC Class I-Like/Innate-Like T Cell Immune Surveillance System in Host Defense against Ranavirus (Frog Virus 3) Infection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-06)Besides the central role of classical Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class Ia-restricted conventional Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8) T cells in antiviral host immune response, the amphibian <i>Xenopus laevis</i> critically rely on MHC class I-like (mhc1b10.1.L or XNC10)-restricted innate-like (i)T cells (iVα6 T cells) to control infection by the ranavirus Frog virus 3 (FV3). To complement ... -
Cross-cultural co-creation of a tourist site: the emic and etic makings
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-10-17)This chapter discusses how an Arctic destination, North Cape, is co-created through time and space aided by tourists' engagement. We present two cases: (1) Thai visitors to the North Cape; and (2) North Cape as a brand in South Korea, drawing on qualitative methods. We argue that cross-cultural co-creation in tourism experiences depends on the knowledge of different emic and etic perceptions of the ... -
Cross-cultural values and management preferences in protected areas of Norway and Poland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-25)Protected areas provide important ecosystem services globally but few studies have examined how cultural differences influence the distribution of cultural ecosystem values and management preferences. We used internet-based public participation GIS (PPGIS) in the countries of Norway and Poland to identify ecosystem values and management preferences in protected areas held by regional residents and ... -
Cross-shelf structure and distribution of mesozooplankton communities in the East-Siberian Sea and the adjacent Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-29)The East-Siberian Sea (ESS) plays a significant role in circulation of surface water and biological production in the Arctic, yet due to its remote location and historically difficult sampling conditions remains the most understudied of all Arctic shelf seas, with even baseline information on biological communities absent in literature. We aim to fill this gap by describing the distribution and ... -
Crude oil exposure reduces ice algal growth in a sea-ice mesocosm experiment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-18)Oil production in Arctic ice-covered areas poses a risk for pollution of the ecosystem including that within the brine channel network of sea ice. Sea-ice autotrophs contribute substantially to Arctic primary production, but are inherently difficult to test for oil exposure responses in situ. This study had two objectives, first, we developed a suitable lab-based mesocosm system, second, we tested ... -
Cruise report Hywind Tampen 13 to 28 March 2023 - Cruise no. 2023001004 G.O. Sars
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2023)There is very little knowledge related to how floating windfarms effect the marine environment as this is such a new “product”. Thus, the data that we gathered on this cruise will be novel in that sense. The aim of the cruise was to look at possible effects of the windfarm on the marine environment. Based on limited cruise time and tough weather conditions around Hywind Tampen we had to be selective ... -
Cultivable marine fungi from the Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard and their antibacterial activity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-27)During a research cruise in 2016, we isolated fungi from sediments, seawater, driftwood, fruiting bodies, and macroalgae using three different media to assess species richness and potential bioactivity of cultivable marine fungi in the High Arctic region. Ten stations from the Svalbard archipelago (73–80 °N, 18–31 °E) were investigated and 33 fungal isolates were obtained. These grouped into 22 ... -
Cultivation of Saccharina latissima (Sugar kelp) using sea urchins crush as a nutrient source
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-11-14)Saccharina latissima is a species of brown seaweed suitable for cultivation and has different usage such as food, biofuel, and feed. Further, the fisheries industry produces tons of byproducts while processing seafood, which will be discarded as waste. In the sea urchin processing industry, for instance, most parts of a sea urchin, such as shell, spines, and viscera, will be discarded after ... -

Geert Hofstede's theory on cultural dimensions will be used as a main framework for ... -
Cultural eutrophication: perspectives and prospects
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2005-01-06)History of cultural eutrophication. Cultural eutrophication is old as Homo sapiens. In particular after the introduction of agriculture and larger settlements eutrophication has been mans faithful companion. During the pre-agricultural hunting and picking stage only probably a couple million humans inhabited the world and cultural eutrophication was negligible. The 3 orders of magnitude ... -
A culture of cheating: The role of worldviews in preferences for honesty
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-11)We explore the role of cultural worldviews in preferences for honesty using a coin-flipping task in an online experiment. Two treatments are conducted, one in which cheating has only private benefits and one in which cheating benefits the public. While we find no differences in behavior by worldviews across treatments, we find that observed differences in dishonesty between genders is significantly ... -
