Armenia is an historical country rich in cultural heritage. However, due to historical events, the tourism and education systems have faced various challenges, and the question of preserving and developing tourism has become primary. Accordingly, rapid changes in higher education and tourism have resulted in an overview of the concept of internationalization of tourism education in Armenia. The ...

Oppgaven omhandler syntesen av mulige metallo-beta-lactamaser inhibitorer.

Hovedproblemstillingen i denne oppgaven var å prøve å konstatere om Vardø var en by under middelalderen. I et forsøk på å finne svar på Vardøs status har jeg analysert, kategorisert og fotografert 1587 keramikkskår fra utgravningene til Arkeolog Povl Simonsen i 1955 og 1958. Keramikken viste lite spor av middelalderaktivitet i Vardøs bygrunn, men heller en økning av nyere keramikktyper fra 1550-tallet. ...

Wolbachia is a widespread, vertically transmitted bacterial endosymbiont known for manipulating arthropod reproduction. Its most common form of reproductive manipulation is cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), observed when a modification in the male sperm leads to embryonic lethality unless a compatible rescue factor is present in the female egg. CI attracts scientific attention due to its implications ...

This paper argues that the vast inequalities in access to migration opportunities and treatment of migrants constitute a structural injustice, and that although states are clearly the most powerful agents in migration injustices, individuals also bear a personal responsibility to ameliorate these injustices. The argument builds on Young’s theory of structural injustice and critically applies it ...

An active wound dressing should address the main goals in wound treatment, which are improved wound healing and reduced infection rates. We developed novel multifunctional nanofibrous wound dressings with three active ingredients: chloramphenicol (CAM), beta-glucan (βG) and chitosan (CHI), of which βG and CHI are active nanofiber-forming biopolymers isolated from the cell walls of Saccharomyces ...

Forsvaret har sendt personell ut i internasjonale operasjoner i tjeneste for Norge i over 70 år. Afghanistanundersøkelsen 2020 viser en klar sammenheng mellom belastning og fysiske og psykiske helseplager, også mange år etter endt tjeneste. Hensikten med studien er å øke kunnskap om hva stadig tjenestegjørende veteraner erfarer er beskyttende faktorer etter potensielt traumatiserende hendelser. Dette ...

In the high-Arctic, increased temperature results in permafrost thawing and increased primary production. This fresh plant-derived material is predicted to prime microbial consortia for degradation of the organic matter stored in tundra soils. However, the effects of warming and plant input on the microbial community structure is hardly known. We assessed the use of glycine, a readily available C ...

With high shares of renewable generation and a reliance on storage, modelling large scale energy systems is computationally challenging. One factor driving the complexity of these models is the need for a high temporal resolution over a long period; a typical baseline is modelling all 8760 hours in a year. While simple methods such as down-sampling and segmentation are effective at reducing the ...

Excessive myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO₂) is considered a limitation for catecholamines, termed oxygen cost of contractility. We hypothesize that increased MVO₂ induced by dobutamine is not directly related to contractility but linked to intermediary myocardial metabolism. Furthermore, we hypothesize that selective b₃ adrenergic receptor (b₃AR) ...
