Expression of Secondary Metabolite Gene Clusters and Production of Secondary Metabolites in Three Nostoc strains Subjected to Deprivation on Nutrients and Competition
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)Cyanobacteria are a unique source of natural products, where most of them are synthesized by non-ribosomal peptide synthase, polyketide synthase, or a hybrid of these pathways. The identification of such biosynthetic genes responsible for the production of secondary metabolites is still a relatively unexplored area, and it remains many natural products for which a biosynthetic origin is unknown. ... -

The majority of the data used for this paper is from Urban Eastern Norwegian (UEN), which is a group of dialects from the south-eastern region of Norway, although similar processes and forms of flapping occur in a wide variety ... -

Intercultural Competence and Postcolonialism in Nye’s Habibi and Gordimer’s “Loot”. Promoting democracy and citizenship through literature in the Norwegian EFL classroom
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)There is broad agreement that the current use of literature in the Norwegian EFL classroom is not realizing its full educational potential due to a lack of practical approaches and an over ambitious curriculum. Thus, literature has become a rare and limited occurrence where students are asked to read for content and linguistical features, rather than for personal enjoyment and growth. The purpose ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)Den gamle og kjente Skipsverftstomta i Tromsø står for stor transformasjon anno 2019. Det er et sted som består av, og omringes av erkjente verdier i form av kulturminner. Dagens byutvikling styres i stor grad av private utviklere med et ideal om fortetning. Dette gjør forholdet mellom kulturminner og utvikling noe mer komplekst. Skal kulturminner og utvikling skilles ad for å sikre at både verdier ... -

Estrogenic modulation of socio-sexual and fear-related behaviors in female rats: Properties of the estrogen receptors α and β in a procedure with external validity
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-06-06)A number of psychiatric troubles are distributed along a biased sex ratio. Differences in sex steroids levels, notably estradiol, could account for this bias. Differential expression and activation of the two known estrogen receptors (ER), α and β could result in different behavioral patterns. Indeed, these two receptors play an important, but unequal, role in the regulation of socio-sexual and ... -

In the novels, traditional Native American culture is profoundly affected by the encroaching ... -
English Particles compared to Czech Adverbs and Prefixes
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-24)In this thesis, I compare English particles to Czech spatial adverbs and prefixes. I discuss three aspects of the particles, adverbs and prefixes – word order, aspect and readings. The properties of the English particles seem to be divided between the spatial adverbs and prefixes in Czech. There are structural similarities between the particles and the adverbs, but the adverbs cannot have other ... -
Explicit grammar instruction in the L2 classroom. Issues in teaching and learning English word order
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)In this thesis, I investigate the effect of explicit instruction on the acquisition of word order in declarative sentences with adverbs in the medial position and topicalised declaratives. Both constructions are shown to be problematic for Norwegian learners of English because of negative influence from Norwegian, which uses the V2 rule in the two structures. The study consists of a grammaticality ...
