      Henriksen, André; Ursin, Daniel; Norbye, Anja Margrete Davis; Hartvigsen, Gunnar; Farbu, Erlend Hoftun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025)
      Migraine is a common chronic headache disorder characterizsed by episodes of moderate to severe headaches, resulting in a large personal- and societal burden. To address this, we implemented a mobile app solution aimed at enhancing continuous data collection and increasing data coverage for the Empatica E4 biometric sensor device. Our ultimate goal is to use this system in a future migraine event ...

    • Piloting an Augmented Reality Exergame for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities 

      Henriksen, André; Millana, Antonio Martinez; Gomez-Noe, Alejandro; Hartvigsen, Gunnar; Anke, Audny Gabriele Wagner; Stellander, Magnus; Dybwad, Dorthe; Luzi, Thomas; Michalsen, Henriette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025)
      In this paper we propose a new approach for increasing physical activity (PA) in individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs), using augmented reality exergames to increase adherence and motivation. The game encourages PA by showing virtual elements through a mobile phone camera. The elements only appeared if the player moved in the real world. The game was specifically designed for people with ...

    • Lipid Nanoparticle Enabled Co-Delivery of Tetrahedral DNA Framework and Antimicrobial Peptides 

      Alkedro, Hassan Ali (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-05-15)
      In the context of persistent wound infections, the delivery of antimicrobial agents is challenging. The bacterium in skin presents several strategies to avoid antimicrobial exposure by hiding inside cells and via the formation of biofilms. Additionally, several virulence strategies facilitate the progression of persistent bacterial infections. Although antibiotics are considered very advanced, they ...

    • A 5’ fusion peptide causes heterologous over-expression: designing, cloning and testing the effect of multiple fusion peptide variants in Escherichia coli and Aliivibrio wodanis 

      Skogseth, Ida (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-15)
      Since its introduction, recombinant protein production has opened an important market for industrial applications. While Escherichia coli is undoubtedly the most commonly used bacterium for protein production, its use has limits in the variety of proteins it can successfully produce. One such limitation is the production of cold-adapted proteins. Their high activity at low temperatures and potential ...

    • A study on CLTA and its interaction with ATG8 proteins 

      Myskja, Olav Arne (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-05-15)
      Autophagy is an essential cell mechanism for cell survival, where damaged organelles, misfolded proteins and invading pathogens can be broken down and the materials recycled. This process is dependent on double-membrane structures called autophagosomes engulfing and trafficking the contents to lysosomes for degradation. Proper formation of autophagosomes is therefore important in order to keep the ...

    • Hvem driver frem innovasjoner? Bedrifters forutsetninger i en gryende næring 

      Sandvik, Maja (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-15)
      Økende etterspørsel etter sjømat stimulerer til innovasjon. Likevel viser flere forsøk på torskeoppdrett uten kommersiell suksess, at oppdrett av marine arter er utfordrende. Med reduserte kvoter på villtorsk er det igjen økt interesse for å etablere seg innen torskeoppdrett. Kunnskapsgrunnlaget er derimot fortsatt svakt og nyetableringer i seg selv innebærer høy risiko. Selv om den gryende næringen ...
