Den vanskelige avveiningen mellom effektivitet og kvalitet. Effekten av innføringen av dynamiske minstepriser
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-15)Økende befolkningsvekst skaper et økt behov for mat. Et slikt press på de allerede eksisterende ressursene fører til behov for å utnytte enhver ressurs fulle ernæringsmessig potensial. Sjømat blir ansett som en viktig kilde for å imøtekomme dette voksende behovet for økt bærekraftig matsikkerhet. Det er derfor viktig å sikre at alle ressurser som høstes fra havet er av høy kvalitet. En utfordring ... -

Impact of climate change and invasion on high latitude populations of freshwater fish
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-15)Rapid climate change significantly impacts high-latitude freshwater ecosystems, altering thermal regimes and ecological dynamics. This study examines the lakes Vaggatem and Skrukkebukta in Pasvik in Northern Norway, where recent decades have seen average increases in surface water temperatures of 0.45°C per decade, accompanied by a modelled 0.07°C decadal rise in hypolimnetic water temperatures, ... -
Effect of PEGylation in liposomal protein corona formation. Characterization of in vitro protein corona formation and the effect of protein corona on cellular uptake of pH-sensitive liposomes in glioblastoma cells
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-15)Glioblastoma is the most lethal brain cancer, characterized by rapid growth and high mortality. Despite advances in diagnosis, surgery, and radiation therapy, glioblastoma remains resistant to treatment. One of the keys to successful anticancer drugs is their ability to reach the target site while minimizing accumulation in other tissues. Most drugs lack the physical and chemical properties and ... -
Modulation of cAMP levels by β-stimulation and PDE3 inhibition during hypothermia. An in vitro study on embryonic cardiac cells from rat
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-15)Introduction: Accidental hypothermia is defined as an involuntary drop in core body temperature below 35 °C and is associated with acute cardiac dysfunction. The PDE3 inhibitor milrinone and β-agonist isoprenaline provide positive inotropic effects during normothermia by elevating intracellular levels of cAMP in cardiac cells. Rat models have demonstrated that milrinone has more favorable hemodynamic ... -

Oppgaven baserer seg på en kvalitativ studie, der to lærere og tolv elever fra en barneskole i Tromsø ble intervjuet. Hovedformålet med prosjektet er å få frem hvordan ... -
Hope, Courage and Voice: Cultural Activities in the Displaced Persons’ Camps of Allied-Occupied Germany
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2025-05-14)Jews survived the Second World War in Europe under varied circumstances, and the different ways in which Nazi crimes were shown in the images and texts they produced reflect this diversity. The wide range of cultural activities in the Displaced Persons (DP) camps in the American and British zones of Germany – from visual arts through different forms of literature to theatre and music – attest to the ... -
Reconstructing the historical decline of lichen cover across the reindeer fence of the Finnish–Norwegian border
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-05-13)We analysed the history behind the current contrasting lichen covers of two adjacent reindeer herding districts at the Finnish–Norwegian border. We conducted vegetation field inventories across the border fence and reconstructed a lichen cover history from 1959 to 2020 using aerial and satellite images. The oldest images showed only a slight difference in lichen cover between the different sides of ... -
Liposomal Nω-hydroxy-l-norarginine, a proof-of-concept: Arginase inhibitors can be incorporated in liposomes while retaining their therapeutic activity ex vivo
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-08)Cancer immunotherapy has evolved significantly over the last decade, with therapeutics targeting the adaptive immune system showing exciting effects in clinics. Yet, the modulation of the innate immune system, particularly the tumor-associated innate immune cells which are an integral part of immune responses in cancer, remains less understood. The arginase 1 (Arg1) pathway is a pivotal metabolic ... -
Epistemic Security and the Monopoly on Knowledge
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024)If there is one universally known quote from Thomas Hobbes, it is his assertion that without security “there is no place for industry [...] no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” Indeed, in the Western context, security is typically construed as freedom from harm and/or ... -
Roadmap to sustainably develop the European seaweed industry
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-05-13)How to build a sustainable seaweed industry is important in Europe’s quest to produce 8 million tons of seaweed by 2030. Based on interviews with industry representatives and an expert-workshop, we developed an interdisciplinary roadmap that addresses sustainable development holistically. We argue that sustainable practices must leverage synergies with existing industries (e.g. IMTA systems, offshore ... -
Exploring the potential effects of PFAS exposure on biomarkers: Insights from legacy PFAS and oxidizable precursors on blood lipids, DNA methylation, and gene expression
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-05-28)Humans are exposed to numerous chemicals daily, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a class of synthetic compounds that have dominated human exposure for decades. These highly persistent chemicals are widely used in industrial and consumer products and are among the most prevalent contaminants detected in human blood. While some legacy PFAS have been phased out due to increasing ... -
Studying the Expression of Bilberry Fruit Softening-related Cellulase (GH9) and Hemicellulase (XTH) Gene Families by Developing a Primer Selection Tool
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-14)Fruit softening is linked to degradation of cell walls by hydrolytic enzymes, such as members of GH9 and XTH family. In this study, we aim to identify the members of the large gene families that cause the cell wall modifying effects, as they can become a target of future research related to food waste prevention and biofuel production. A tool is developed to help in the process of finding qPCR primers ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-14)Denne masteroppgaven undersøker hvordan konventikkelplakaten og Christian den femtes norske lov av 1687 påvirket håndteringen av zionittene i det norske samfunnet på 1740-tallet. Zionittene var en radikalpietistisk vekkelsesbevegelse som oppsto i Drammensområdet på 1740-tallet. Bevegelsen, som ble ledet av den danske teologistudenten Søren Bølle, skapte betydelig uro og konflikt i Drammensområdet, ... -
«Det hadde vært artig om vi kunne lest iblant, for da får man litt avkobling fra å bruke skjerm». En kvantitativ og kvalitativ studie om leselyst og holdninger til lesing på mellomtrinnet
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-14)I denne masteravhandlingen har vi undersøkt holdninger til lesing og leselyst på mellomtrinnet. Dette er gjort med utgangspunkt i problemstillingen Hvilke holdninger har elever på mellomtrinnet til lesing og hva er elevenes tanker om hva som gir dem lyst til å lese? Bakgrunnen for denne forskningen begrunnes med våre praksiserfaringer om negative holdninger til lesing og lite leselyst blant elever ...
