A marine-derived Pleosporales fungus, Uzbekistanica storfjordensis, was isolated from driftwood and described as a new species. The fungus was cultivated in liquid media and a molecular networking-driven approach was used to identify potential new secondary metabolites. The targeted compounds were isolated using preparative HPLC-MS, and through extensive spectroscopic analysis, eight new ophiobolin-type ...

In the robonomic economic system many tourism and hospitality companies will be completely automated, and some of them may not even have any human employees. It means that we must rethink the way tourism attractions are created, the way tourism experiences are designed, and the practices of tourism and hospitality companies. We need to consider how to cater for tourists in ways that prove viable ...

<p>Understanding the influence of the Sun and space on the Earth's atmosphere is of current interest, as it may be valuable in the context of global climate change research. Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes (PMSE) are phenomenona that rely on the presence of ice particles, offering insights into the mesosphere's temperature and water vapor content. This thesis aimed to investigate PMSE in the upper ...

Introduction: This study examines rabies incidence and associated risk factors at the interface between wildlife and human communities near Pian-Upe game reserve in Eastern Uganda. We hypothesized that human settlements in closer proximity to the reserve would exhibit higher rabies risk compared to those located further away.<p> <p>Methods: Using a standard questionnaire, households within <4, ...

Purpose: Alcohol use is a leading risk factor for preventable death, injury, and disease globally. Low sensitivity to the effects of alcohol is influenced by genes and predicts risk for harmful alcohol use and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Alcohol induces effects partly by modulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors type A (GABAARs). This study investigates the relationship between genetic ...

<p><i>Purpose:</i> The overarching aim of the present thesis is to provide an attitudinal perspective of the concept of novelty in tourism and test this perspective within Schwartz’s theory of personal values. To achieve this, the thesis first clarifies the progress of novelty in tourism and identifies possible antecedents and consequences. This involves examining both attitudinal and emotional ...

Dette kapittelet handler om å gå på tur. Det er noe de fleste av oss gjør hele tida, vi går skogsturer, fjellturer, skiturer, toppturer og mye mer. Men vi har også andre ord for dette; vi vandrer og lager vandreruter i fjellet, vi bruker terrenget, vi rusler og jogger – vi beveger oss. Bevegelser er helt sentralt for mennesket, å gå er nesten som hjerteslag og pust, helt fundamentalt for livet – ...

The Norwegian Sea oceanic basins and prograded margins have developed since NE Atlantic break-up in the earliest Eocene. Significant amounts of sediments were fed to the regionally subsiding and widening Norwegian Sea during the Cenozoic as a result of several phases of uplift and erosion of the bounding shelves and their hinterland. Despite an overall passive-margin evolution, the area experienced ...
