Den offentlige sektoren gir uttrykk for et behov for økt samarbeid, og legger i stadig større grad vekt på tiltak som fremhever intern og ekstern samhandling. Dette er en utvikling som motiveres av den offentlige sektorens tilretteleggende rolle, og et ønske om å styrke evnen til å håndtere større samfunnsutfordringer. I denne forbindelse presiseres det at den offentlige virksomhetens innsats må ...

Sammendrag Formålet med denne oppgaven er å undersøke hvordan SpareBank 1 Nord-Norges Samfunnsløftet påvirker kundenes vurdering av bankens samfunnsansvar og deres lojalitet. Fokuset er å identifisere hvilke faktorer som former disse vurderingene, og hvordan banken kan styrke relasjonen til kundene gjennom sitt samfunnsansvar. Ved å integrere teorier om kundelojalitet, CSR, kundetilfredshet, ...

Denne rapporten utreder konseptet FiskInfoPlattformen: en digital plattform for fangst og bærekraftsrapportering basert på operasjonell datafangst under fiske. Arbeidet har tatt utgangspunkt i grunnstammen i veikartet for databaserte fiskeritjenester som ble etablert i FHF prosjekt 901803 og er første steg i å utvide dette med nødvendig dataflyt for å støtte bærekraftsrapportering. FNs bærekraftsmål ...

Peatlands are invaluable but threatened ecosystems that store huge amounts of organic carbon globally and emit the greenhouse gasses carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄). Trophic interactions of microbial groups essential for methanogenesis are poorly understood in such systems, despite their importance. Thus, the present study aimed at unraveling trophic interactions between ...

With the intensification of aquaculture to meet the rising demands of fish and shellfish, disease outbreaks during the larval and adult stages are a major challenge faced by aqua culturists. As the prophylactic use of vaccines and antibiotics has several limitations, research is now focused on sustainable alternatives to vaccines and antibiotics, e.g., medicinal plants, probiotics, postbiotics, ...

Quality parameters and storage stability were evaluated through biochemical, textural, and microbial analyses of the Norwegian red sea cucumber Parastichopus tremulus at two different storage temperatures (0 °C and 4 °C) over 17 days. During storage, the pH decreased from 7 to 6.3, the texture became softer decreasing from 47.3 to 0.3 N, while K-value increased from 4 to 52 %, microbial counts ...

The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) is one of the most widely distributed cetaceans. Adult males commonly occupy high latitudes, whereas females and juveniles occupy lower latitudes. In Northern Norway, previous studies focused on the summer period limiting our understanding of the seasonal dynamics of male foraging aggregations. We used year-round capture–mark–recapture data based on photo ...

This study investigates price transmission and asymmetry in the cod value chain between the export market of Norway and the retail market of Portugal. Using monthly data from January 2011 to December 2022, it analyzes the value chains of salted dried cod, salted wet cod, and the relationship between the export price of salted wet cod and the retail price of salted dried cod using a non-linear ARDL ...

Food-web structure determines the cycling pathways and fate of new production in marine ecosystems. Herbivorous zooplankton populations are usually seasonally coupled with pelagic primary producers. Synchrony of phytoplankton blooms with reproduction, recruitment and seasonal ascent of their main grazers ensures efficient transfer of organic carbon to higher trophic levels, including commercially ...
