    • Hvor nyttige er nye legemiddelbehandlinger egentlig? 

      Moss, Johan Mikkelborg (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-21)
      Introduksjon: Legemidler blir ofte presentert i media som supermedisiner og gir inntrykket av at helseeffekten er enorm. Hvorvidt fremstillingen i media speiler virkeligheten er uklart. Statens legemiddelverk (SLV) metodevurderer legemidler for å undersøke om de er bedre enn nåværende behandling. Metodevurderingene inneholder ofte informasjon om QALY-gevinst. Hensikt: Primærmålet er å undersøke ...

    • Carbon Footprint and Nutrient Density of Underutilized Norwegian Marine Resources 

      Langdal, Andreas (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-21)
      Both nationally and internationally, there is a rising ambition to reduce carbon footprint to fight climate change. However, climate change should not be seen as a solitary challenge as the human population has more than tripled since the 1950ths. We are therefore moving towards the inevitable crossroad where the food needed to sustain humanity and the traditional utilized resources we have ...

    • Divergent functional traits in three sympatric Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus morphs are not coupled with the age of the lineage divergence 

      Bryce, Carolyn; Alicia, Fraser; Knudsen, Rune; Greer, Ron; Adams, Colin Ean (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-24)
      Three genetically discrete morphs of Arctic charr in Loch Rannoch, Scotland originated from a recent divergence within the lake (in situ) (piscivore and benthivore morphs) and from secondary contact of two older lineages (ex situ; a planktivore–piscivore/ benthivore divergence). To test if the expression of traits with strong functional roles was linked to the age of the divergence, fin and ...
