The antecedents and consequences of students´ autonomous motivation. The relation between need-support, motivation, and academic achievement
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-02-16)Higher education has traditionally rested on teacher-centred education. Recently, there has been a shift towards learner-centred education. Innovative teaching tools, active teaching methods, and teachers that encourages ... -
Anthropogenic disturbance modifies long-term changes of boreal mountain vegetation under contemporary climate warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aims Accelerating high-latitude climate warming drives shrub expansion in open landscapes and alters species distributions and compositions of plant communities. Simultaneously, various land use practices cause disturbance ... -
Anthropogenic pollen indicators: Global food plants and Latin American human indicators in the pollen record
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Pollen-based evidence of human presence is crucial for reconstructing human history. However, information on the morphology of pollen grains of global food plants and regional pollen-based human indicators is scattered in ... -
Anthropogenically impacted lake catchments in Denmark reveal low microplastic pollution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Microplastics have been detected in lake environments globally, including in remote regions. Agricultural and populated areas are known to congregate several inputs and release pathways for microplastic. This study ... -
Antibacterial treatment of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) experimentally challenged with Vibrio anguillarum, atypical Aeromonas salmonicida and Pasteurella atlantica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Lumpfish is a novel farmed species used as cleaner fish for the removal of lice from farmed salmon. As often with new, farmed species, there are challenges with bacterial infections. The frequency of prescription of ... -
Antibiotic sensitivity screening of Klebsiella spp. and Raoultella spp. isolated from marine bivalve molluscs reveal presence of CTX-M-producing K. pneumoniae
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-11)Klebsiella spp. are a major cause of both nosocomial and community acquired infections, with K. pneumoniae being responsible for most human infections. Although Klebsiella spp. are present in a variety of environments, ... -
Antibiotic uptake by cultured Atlantic cod leucocytes and effect on intracellular Francisella noatunensis subsp. noatunensis replication
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-04)The granuloma disease caused by Francisella noatunensis subsp. noatunensis in farmed Atlantic cod has not been successfully treated by use of antibacterials, even when antibacterial resistance testing indicates a sufficient ... -
Anticancer activity in Planctomycetes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-07)There is a strong need to develop new drugs against many severe diseases. Therapy resistance is a major problem, for instance, in infectious diseases and cancer. Drug discovery has again turned to nature to search for ... -
Antiviral immune responses in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) - with emphasis on type I interferons
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01) -
Apparent availability of zinc, selenium and manganese as inorganic metal salts or organic forms in plant-based diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03)The composition of salmonid diets has changed from the use of mainly marine ingredients to increased use of plant ingredients, and this has an impact on the mineral content and availability. Minerals, like zinc (Zn), ... -
The appendicularian Oikopleura dioica can enhance carbon export in a high CO<inf>2</inf> ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Gelatinous zooplankton are increasingly recognized to play a key role in the ocean's biological carbon pump. Appendicularians, a class of pelagic tunicates, are among the most abundant gelatinous plankton in the ocean, but ... -
Application of CRISPR-based gene editing tools in Atlantic salmon
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-05-15)Atlantisk laks er den viktigaste arten i norsk havbruksnæring. Næringa i Noreg er i dag ramma av fleire berekraftsufordringar, til dømes genetisk innblanding av rømt laks, og spreiing av smittsame sjukdommar. Dette påverkar ... -
Application of in vitro transcribed and translated HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and integrase in protein-protein interaction studies
(Master thesis, 2000)Replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) necessitates the two viral enzymes reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN). These two proteins are found to associate in a large nucleoprotein complex called the ... -
Application of laboratory methods for understanding fish responses to black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) based diets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)A major challenge for development of sustainable aquafeeds is its dependence on fish meal and fish oil. Replacement with more sustainable, nutritious and safe ingredients is now a priority. Over the last years, among several ... -
Approaches to defining a planetary boundary for biodiversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09)The idea that there is an identifiable set of boundaries, beyond which anthropogenic change will put the Earth system outside a safe operating space for humanity, is attracting interest in the scientific community and ... -
Approaches to pollen taxonomic harmonisation in Quaternary palynology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Pollen taxonomic harmonisation involves the standardisation of the nomenclature of pollen and fern spores with similar morphotypes at the determination level that is common to all grains or spores with that morphotype ... -
Aquaculture relevant stressors and their impacts on skin and wound healing in post-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-11-30)The work described in this thesis focuses on the response mechanisms in the skin of post-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) under the following challenging conditions: <ul> i. The effect of high biomass and low specific ... -
Aquaculture-driven evolution of the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) mtDNA genome
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Widespread resistance towards pyrethroids, a pesticide that has been extensively used in salmonid aquaculture to control sea lice, is reported in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). The resistance mechanism has ... -
