The emerging crisis of antimicrobial resistance calls for the development of new therapeutic drugs. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), found in a variety of species as part of the host-defence mechanisms, serves as promising candidates for clinical use. Studies of well-known AMPs like lactoferrin have lead to the preparation of short cationic AMPs (CAPs) with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against ...

Although teachers’ professional identities have been the subject of extensive study, the field still lacks knowledge about the development of a professional identity for mentor teachers. These teachers take on multifaceted professional roles as teachers and teacher educators. In the present paper, we investigate the professional identity of mentor teachers partnered with two universities in Norway. ...

Security, privacy, transparency, consent, and data sharing are major challenges that healthcare institutions must address today. The explosion of the Internet of Things (IoT), the enactment of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the growing trend of patients self-managing their diseases, and the eagerness of patients to share their self-collected health data with primary and secondary ...

In 1987, the late German chemist Peter Hofmann of the University of Heidelberg wrote: “We still have a long way to go until a computation will be able to compete with or to substitute a lab experiment... one could then conclude that theoretical work in this field—not being quantitatively reliable anyhow—is rather useless, except for the purpose of keeping theorists busy.” However, Hofmann continued: ...

In this paper we prove some essential complements of the paper (J. Inequal. Appl. 2019:171, 2019) on the same theme. We prove some new Fourier inequalities in the case of the Lorentz–Zygmund function spaces L q,r (logL ) α Lq,r(log⁡L)α involved and in the case with an unbounded orthonormal system. More exactly, in this paper we prove and discuss some new Fourier inequalities of this type for ...

Longyearbyen ligger tolv grader sør for Nordpolen, noe som i seg selv gjør området spesielt. Byen utgjør imidlertid bare en brøkdel av det enorme landområdet Norge har suverenitet over i nord. De juridiske forholdene rundt det norske herredømme over øygruppen er også av en slik karakter at administrasjonen på stedet skiller seg fra det som er vanlig på fastlandet. Oppgavens tema er Sysselmannen ...

Accurate sea-ice prediction is essential for safe operations in the Arctic and potentially also for weather forecast at high-latitudes. The increasing number of sea-ice related satellite observations in the Arctic can be used to improve the model predictions through data assimilation. For sea ice, sea-ice concentration (SIC) observations have been available for many years. Observational information ...

<i>Bakgrunn</i>: Organisering av spesialisthelsetjenesten har i løpet av 20 år utviklet seg fra mange sykehus med brede funksjoner og kompetanse, til et hierarkisk system der spesialkompetansen er samlet i få sykehus. Omtalte organisering av tjenesten har medført nye utfordringer for intensivsykepleierne. Intensivsykepleiernes fagutøvelse er regulert av lov om faglig forsvarlig behandling og omsorgsfull ...

As pioneered by Corey and Chaykovsky, sulfoxonium ylides have had widespread application in organic synthesis for more than a half century. In most of the reactions, sulfoxonium ylides were used to react with electrophiles. Under suitable reaction conditions these ylides can generate metal carbenoids and react with nucleophiles. By combining the typical reactivity of sulfoxonium ylides with ...

Vi kan være stolte av dagens norske helsevesen. Det er bygget opp gjennom flere generasjoner og betales av fellesskapets midler. Dagens tilbud innebærer at hver innbygger har sin fastlege som spesialiserer seg, følger faglige retningslinjer og er opptatt av å unngå overdiagnostikk. Blir vi alvorlig syke, har vi adgang til avansert spesialisthelsetjeneste, uavhengig av inntekt eller hvor i landet vi ...
