This study examines the relationship between trust and pride and their collective influence on sustainable consumption within the fashion industry. We hypothesized that concrete marketing communications would enhance consumer trust, which in turn would directly, and indirectly via increased pride, encourage sustainable consumption intentions. Through an experimental design involving 199 participants, ...

Reports of fading vole and lemming population cycles and persisting low populations in some parts of the Arctic have raised concerns about the spread of these fundamental changes to tundra food web dynamics. By compiling 24 unique time series of lemming population fluctuations across the circumpolar region, we show that virtually all populations displayed alternating periods of cyclic/non-cyclic ...

Tapeworms of the genus Proteocephalus Weinland, 1858 (Cestoda: Proteocephalidae) are common and widespread intestinal parasites of whitefish (Coregonus spp., Salmonidae: Coregoninae). Previous taxonomic studies, based solely on morphology and inconsistently fixed specimens, concluded that all salmoniform fish, including whitefish, are parasitised by a single euryxenous and highly polymorphic ...

This study investigated how farmed blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) can optimize human nutrient intake. A particular focus was on assessing nutrient preservation during steaming and freeze-drying, processes that could deplete nutrients. The study compared the content of essential amino acids and fatty acids in steamed and freeze-dried blue mussels to the nutritional needs of humans and farmed Atlantic ...

Background Understanding the environmental impacts on root growth and root health is essential for effective agricultural and environmental management. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology provides a non-destructive method for detailed analysis and monitoring of plant tissues and organ development, but unfortunately examples for its application to root systems and the root-soil interface are ...

Climate change-driven sea ice decline is increasing access to Arctic oil reserves and shipping routes, raising the risk of oil spills. Harsh polar conditions of extreme cold, darkness, and unpredictable weather will exacerbate these risks. The polar cod (Boreogadus saida), a key species in the Arctic ecosystem, may be particularly affected. With its spawning window in January and February, an oil ...

Hovedformålet med denne oppgaven er å belyse for investorer i norsk aksjebasert crowdfunding hvilken avkastning de kan forvente. Hovedmotivasjonen til investorer i aksjebasert crowdfunding er finansiell avkastning, men det finnes lite data om hvilken avkastning man kan forvente. I denne studien undersøker jeg statusen til selskapene som gjennomførte emisjoner gjennom de norske crowdfunding plattformene ...

With the simultaneous growth in interest from the mycological community to discover fungal species and classify them, there is also an important need to assemble all taxonomic information onto common platforms. Fungal classification is facing a rapidly evolving landscape and organizing genera into an appropriate taxonomic hierarchy is central to better structure a unified classification scheme and ...

The escape of farmed salmon may result in unwanted interbreeding with wild salmon populations. The development of a sterile salmon can prevent the negative effect of unwanted genetic introgression as well as provide the industry with solutions to drawbacks associated with sexual maturation. A sterile fish will also improve the competitive strength of the 6 Norwegian breeding companies as the fish ...
