Arbeidsbekledning og total arbeidsbelastning - Effekter av antall lag, størrelse og vekt
(Master thesis, 2017)Background: Work clothing with multiple layers and personal protective equipment is used in demanding environments. It s shown that clothing details such as number of layers, fit and weight can affect the total workload. ... -
Carbon Fluxes in Mosses in Alpine Ecosystems
(Master thesis, 2016)Background and aims Alpines areas expected to see an increase in temperature as a response to climate change and bryophytes are decreasing in coverage compared to vascular plants. Thus it is of interest to see if the ... -
Competitive Binding of Persistent Organic Pollutants to the Thyroid Hormone Transport Protein Transthyretin in Glaucous Gull (Larus hyperboreus).
(Master thesis, 2015)The glaucous gull (Larus hyperboreus) is one of the largest avian top predators in the Arctic. High levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and their metabolites have been detected in the glaucous gull, and several ... -
Effects of repeated investigator disturbance on corticosterone concentrations and the immune system in chicks of Black-Legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla)
(Master thesis, 2017)Repeated exposure to investigator disturbance increases the corticosterone levels and can give detrimental effects on the growth and immune system in nestlings. As the offspring is developing, they need to invest in different ... -
Effects of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) on wild caught sea trout (Salmo trutta) under experimental conditions
(Master thesis, 2017)An increasing net cage farming of salmonids in Norway are leading to increased production of infective salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) larvae in coastal areas. One of the most vulnerable salmonids for salmon lice ... -
Essential oil and biodiversity study of Securidaca longipedunculata
(Master thesis, 2017)securidaca is oil plant -
Farming of juvenile Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus). Growth pattern, anesthetic protocol, and salinity tolerance.
(Master thesis, 2016)Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestation is currently one of the biggest challenges within the Norwegian Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) industry, causing major expenses and limiting further production growth. Traditional ... -
Finmotorisk isometrisk kraftkontroll i hånd og fingre ved nedkjøling
(Master thesis, 2017)Background: People with outdoor occupations will large parts of the year be exposed to low ambient temperatures. Prolonged exposure to low temperatures can impair performance in several ways, such as reduced muscle function ... -
Light and Temperature Effects on Metabolite Concentration in Selected Herbs and Microgreens
(Master thesis, 2017)Increasing evidence from epidemiological studies has shown that vegetable consumption is an important determinant of health. These health benefits are attributed to the presence of phytochemicals in these vegetables or ... -
Photosynthetic Response to increasing Temperatures - a Comparison between prostrate and erect alpine Shrubs
(Master thesis, 2015)As a response to climate change, shrub biomass has increased in alpine and arctic tundra ecosystems. Substantial shrub encroachment can lead to changes in carbon fluxes, due to a shift in community compositions and functional ... -
Short-term heat stress in situ reduces net photosynthesis and alters metabolite composition in the arctic poppy Papaver dahlianum
(Master thesis, 2016)Climate change is increasing the mean summer temperature in the Arctic and with that the probability of extreme climatic events including heat waves. An increase in heat waves may cause increased stress in a number of ... -
Stress responses induced by temperature and light conditions in Brassica napus
(Master thesis, 2015)Brassica napus, also known as oilseed rape or canola, belongs to the family Brassicaceae. An important characteristic of Brassicaceae is the production of specific secondary metabolites, glucosinolates. Intact glucosinolates ... -
Telomere dynamics and migration patterns in a long-distance migrant, the Arctic skua
(Master thesis, 2017)Telomeres are protective caps at the end of chromosomes that shorten with each cell cycle as well as by oxidative stress. In birds and mammals, telomeres shorten more slowly in long-lived species and, within species, those ... -
The Effect of Long-term Aerobic Exercise and Training Intensity on Blood Pressure in the Elderly
(Master thesis, 2018)The results indicate that aerobic exercise of different training intensities, high-intensity interval training(HIIT) and moderate-intensity continious training (MICT), reduce average blood pressure in the eldery. After 3 ... -
The effect of repeated handling on telomere dynamics, body condition, and short-term survival in chicks of the Black-legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla)
(Master thesis, 2017)In the present study, effects of investigator disturbance on chicks of the Black-legged Kittiwake were investigated by looking at telomere dynamics, growth, and short-term survival. An experiment group was exposed to a ... -
Thermal performance in zebrafish (Danio rerio) - Thermal acclimation capacity in wild and domesticated zebrafish
(Master thesis, 2018)In times of imminent threat of climate change, clear evidence of which physiological mechanisms are limiting thermal performance remains scarce. This thesis involved measuring different performances, over a wide range of ... -
Thermoregulatory Responses and Work Strain of Fishermen - A Field Study and a Laboratory Study
(Master thesis, 2015)Fishermen on board deep-sea trawlers in the Barents and Norwegian Sea are exposed to low air temperatures, strong winds, high humidity, rain, snow and work with varying intensities. No studies have investigated the effect ... -
Tiltak for reduksjon av termisk stress og økt arbeidskomfort hos smelteverksarbeidere - Et felt- og laboratoriestudie
(Master thesis, 2017)Masteravhandlingen vil bli skrevet i forbindelse med SINTEF Teknologi og samfunn, avdeling Helse sitt prosjekt Fremtidens vernebekledning for smelteverksarbeidere og skal utvikle et kunnskapsgrunnlag for test og utvikling ...
