Antimicrobial activity of small synthetic peptides based on the marine peptide turgencin A: Prediction of antimicrobial peptide sequences in a natural peptide and strategy for optimization of potency
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-30)
Turgencin A, a potent antimicrobial peptide isolated from the Arctic sea squirt <i>Synoicum turgens</i>, consists of 36 amino acid residues and three disulfide bridges, making it challenging to synthesize. The aim of the present study was to develop a truncated peptide with an antimicrobial drug lead potential based on turgencin A. The experiments consisted of: (1) sequence analysis and prediction ...
Secondary Folds Contribute Significantly to the Total Surface Area in the Olfactory Organ of Chondrichthyes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-12)
The olfactory organ of Chondrichthyes is characterized by a central support with
several lamellae covered by a sensory olfactory epithelium. Although secondary folds
are present on the lamellae in all the chondrichthyan species analyzed to date, their
shape and size have not been described. We here analyze the olfactory organ of 13
elasmobranch and 1 holocephalan species, describe the shape of ...
Gammaherpesvirus in Cervid Species from Norway: Characterization of a New Virus in Wild and Semi-Domesticated Eurasian Tundra Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
Gammaherpesvirus infections have been described in cervids worldwide, mainly the genera <i>Macavirus</i> or <i>Rhadinovirus</i>. However, little is known about the gammaherpesviruses species infecting cervids in Norway and Fennoscandia. Blood samples from semi-domesticated (<i>n</i> = 39) and wild (<i>n</i> = 35) Eurasian tundra reindeer (<i>Rangifer tarandus tarandus</i>), moose (<i>Alces alces</i>, ...
How to grow brand post engagement on Facebook and Twitter for airlines? An empirical investigation of design and content factors
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-05)
Airlines are increasingly using social media for initiating and sustaining consumer brand engagement through interaction and sharing. This study introduces a conceptual model on brand post engagement on social media and contributes to extant knowledge on the effectiveness of the determinants of such engagement in the airline industry. Facebook brand posts of a major Nordic airline published between ...
Dissemination of Piscine orthoreovirus-1 (PRV-1) in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) during the Early and Regenerating Phases of Infection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-20)
<i>Piscine orthoreovirus-1</i> (PRV-1) can cause heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>), but the line of events from infection, pathologic change, and regeneration has not been thoroughly described. In this study, the cellular localization and variation of PRV-1 RNA and protein levels were analyzed at different times post-exposure in experimentally ...
Transforming the governance of small-scale fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-16)
Despite their contribution to employment, food security, poverty eradication, and community well-being, small-scale fisheries often find themselves in a disadvantageous position globally relative to large-scale fisheries and other industries competing for marine space, resources, and government attention. By and large, small-scale fisheries are marginalized in every sense of the word: culturally, ...
Disappearing green: Shrubs decline and bryophytes increase with nine years of increased snow accumulation in the High Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-25)
<i>Question</i>
- How does increased snow depth affect plant community composition of High Arctic tundra, and can the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) detect induced changes?<p><p>
<i>Location</i>
- Adventdalen, Spitsbergen, Svalbard (78°10′ N, 16°04′ E).<p><p>
<i>Methods</i>
- We manipulated snow depth on the tundra using fences, resulting in <i>Deep, Medium</i>, and ...
Weakening of Cold Halocline Layer Exposes Sea Ice to Oceanic Heat in the Eastern Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-20)
A 15-yr duration record of mooring observations from the eastern (>70°E) Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is used to show and quantify the recently increased oceanic heat flux from intermediate-depth (~150–900 m) warm Atlantic Water (AW) to the surface mixed layer and sea ice. The upward release of AW heat is regulated by the stability of the overlying halocline, which we show has weakened ...
Promoting 21st Century Skills with Game-Based Learning in Interdisciplinary Fisheries Education
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2019-10)
This conference paper presents the case of using a combination premade serious games and self-designed games at bachelor and master’s programs at the Norwegian College of Fisheries Science to facilitate the integration of different disciplines and the development of practical skillsets that are necessary for success in the seafood industry after graduation. Furthermore, it explores the preliminary ...
Growth Strategy of a Rural Business School: Sustainable Implementation of Online Studies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-29)
This case study, which uses interventionist action research methodology, first describes key elements of the online business model which was implemented at a business school in Arctic Norway. The aim of the business model intervention was to create a growth in student influx. Next, the study examines the actual impact of the intervention in terms of number of online applicants over the last decade. ...
