    • Understanding the Influence of Belief and Belief Revision on Consumers’ Purchase Intention of Liquid Milk 

      Hoque, Mohammed Ziaul; Hossan, Mohammad Akter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-01)
      An unsustainable milk value chain can make consumers’ retention of preferences fragile, leading to a reduction in belief. One of the major ways of changing this belief is “belief revision” which accounts an interaction between a change in an individual’s preference with reference to its source and a belief expectancy and affects consumers’ behavioral intentions effectively. As there is little research ...
    • New methodologies in the Nordic Syntax Database: word order variation in Norwegian wh-questions 

      Westendorp, Maud (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-31)
      Across Norwegian dialects, <i>wh</i>-questions show variation concerning word order possibilities, with many dialects allowing non-V2 word order. The acceptance of this order differs across dialects and depends on the complexity and function of the <i>wh</i>-element. This study examines data from 409 informants across 105 sites in the Nordic Syntax Database (NSD). Throughout the study, new ...

    • Development of self-eliminating linkers for drug conjugates 

      Nergård, Silje Lillemark (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      Newly discovered compounds through bioprospecting are screened for cytotoxicity, and many of them are found to be highly toxic. Because they are often not specifically toxic only against cancer cells, they are not further studied. These new compounds could be of further interest by temporarily masking a functional group which regulate the anticancer activity of a cytotoxic compound. This means that ...
    • Synthesis of copper and silver nanoparticles with extracts of berries: A green chemistry approach 

      Løkse, Christoffer Jacobsen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-15)
      Nanoparticles are usually defined as particles in a size range of 1-100 nm, and these particles often have different properties than the non-nanoscale material of the same chemical composition. In recent years, as the interest and use of nanoparticles has increased and so has the interest in understanding their behaviour, impact and fate in the environment. In the last decades, there has been special ...

    • Molecular modeling of 3D structure of the oxytocin receptor. Discovery of novel oxytocin receptor agonists via molecular docking studies. 

      Antobreh, Gloria Tiwaa (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-15)
      Oxytocin has been shown to be implicated in psychiatric diseases such as depression, anxiety disorders, autism post-traumatic stress disorder, and schizophrenia. As a result, oxytocin can be used as a potential treatment for these brain disorders. However, oxytocin is a large peptide, and is therefore unable to cross the blood brain barrier. Thus, the development of new small non-peptide drugs would ...
