Antimicrobial resistance in skin injury infections is becoming a rising problem as more conventional antimicrobials become ineffective in resistant infections. Therefore, developing novel effective antimicrobials while promoting wound healing is urgently needed. Membrane-active antimicrobials, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), display promising antimicrobial activity, and could potentially solve ...

Mange ulike studieprogram har et innføringsemne i kjemi, ofte i første studieåret. Et slikt kjemiemne inkluderer vanligvis laboratorieundervisning, som er ressurskrevende å gjennomføre for et stort antall (flere hundre) studenter. Det er vanlig at instituttet som har ansvar for emnet også har ansvar for laboratorieundervisningen. Dermed får studentene på ulike studieprogram samme labøvelser av samme ...

Despite the fact that there are many studies concerning the topic of linguistical interferences between two languages coexisting in the same speaker community, there are few studies that analyses to what level certain interferences are accepted from the minority language to the dominant one in comparison with the level of use within the individual speaker of the minority language. In this thesis, ...

Avhandlingen tar for seg Frigjøringskomitéens rolle og arbeid i planleggingen og gjennomføringen av frigjøringsjubileet i 1994/95.

Oppgaven har en strukturell tilnærming, som deler inn oppgaven i intensjon, produksjon og resepsjon. Oppgaven viser hvordan ...

Bacteriophages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria. These obligate intracellular parasites are Earth's most copious, ubiquitous, and genetically diverse (unexplored) biological entities. Organisms in the Arctic environment constantly experience extreme conditions, therefore life in the Arctic evolved different specialized strategies and molecules to survive which offers huge opportunities ...

This thesis, Is the Precariat the New Proletariat? A comparative study of justice in Charles Dickens’s Victorian novel Oliver Twist (1836) and Guy Gunaratne’s contemporary novel In Our Mad and Furious City (2018), argues that the precariat, a term coined by Guy Standing, is a new emerging social class that is represented in modern literature and is a continuation and modern equivalent to the previously ...

Problemstillingen i denne studien er: Hvilken ledelse praktiseres i en virksomhet der det forventes at medarbeiderne er selvgående, og hvilke barrierer for selvledelse kan vi ...

This Master’s thesis investigates the application of Machine Learning (ML) in predicting blast-induced ground vibrations in mining, with the aim of sur- passing the precision of the current industry-standard model that utilizes an empirical, regression-based method. The study applied a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model, selected for its capability to consider a broader range of variables than the ...

Albumin-stabilized mitotane nanoparticles intended for intravenous application can serve as a potential formulation for the treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma. However, the particle size of a nanoparticle-based formulation is crucial for the in vivo behavior of the nanoparticles following an intravenous injection. Prior to this project, the particle size of this nanoformulation had a mean of ...

Migration of foreign pharmacists to Norway has increased considerably in recent years. Data from the Directorate of Health shows that 1592 foreign pharmacists received authorization in Norway from 2013 to 2021 as compared to 1952 Norwegian pharmacists. There are several theories of migration, but “push and pull theory” is the most widely used approach to learn about reasons of migration. According ...
