    • The use of commercial ELISA kits in measuring CA6 concentration of saliva 

      Machlik, Edit; Woll, Emilie Elise (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-20)
      Introduction: Carbonic anhydrase 6 (CA6) is the only secreted member of the carbonic anhydrase enzyme family. This enzyme catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide: CO2 + H2O ⇔ H+ + HCO3-. The dehydration reaction contributes to net acidification in several tissues and biological fluids. Salivary CA6 attaches to the enamel and predisposes to caries probably by acidifying the dental biofilm ...

      Singh, Sourab (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-11-21)
      For years, small-scale fisheries were marginalized until this sector gained international recognition after the FAO's voluntary guidelines for securing SSFs were endorsed in 2014. Since then, there has been active research, especially in developing countries, to implement these guidelines. Small-scale fisheries that are diverse, complex, and dynamic are challenging to govern and require a ...

    • From relationship orientation to task orientation: On the digitalization of clinical leaders 

      Pettersen, Inger Johanne; Solstad, Elsa (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)
      This paper studies how clinical leaders perceive their leadership tasks in the context of virtual interactions. We ask whether distant leadership involves a shift from relationship orientation to more task- and control-oriented leaders in hospital settings. We explore two cases involving 10 clinical leaders in a university hospital in Norway. The study indicates that the leaders were aware that lack ...

    • Public vs. Private Governance in the Norwegian Aquaculture: Can the ASC Supplement or Supplant the Public Regulations? 

      Chowdhury, Fahmida (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-11-15)
      It is predicted that by the year 2050, the world population will reach 9.8 billion (UN, 2017). The need for fish as a good source of nutrition is also increasing. Total global aquaculture production is now exceeding the global capture fisheries production by over 18.32 million tons (FAO,2019). This increasing demand for aquatic animals as human food, limited marine captured fisheries, and the ...
