Oocyte parameters important for embryo survival and development during in vitro embryo production
(Master thesis, 2024)In vitro fertilization (IVF) in cattle has been impeded by technological constraints. These limitations are related to the quality of in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes. Numerous studies have investigated factors affecting ... -
Optimization of a sperm-oviduct binding assay mimicking in vivo conditions. Adoption of sperm separation methods and protocols for analysing sperm motility and intracellular Ca2+ level
(Master thesis, 2014)English: An in vitro model that mimics the interactions between spermatozoa and oviductal epithelial cells can be used to increase the knowledge about the function of the oviduct and the formation of a sperm reservoir in ... -
Optimization of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) on bovine oocytes Subtitle - Evaluating the effect of dithiothreitol and glutathione on decondensation of bovine spermatozoa
(Master thesis, 2024)Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an important reproductive technology that passes over some crucial steps of the fertilization process like capacitation, acrosomal reaction, and membrane fusion. The inadequacy ... -
Optimizing Host Depletion and Bacterial DNA Enrichment for Rapid Detection of Pathogens and Antimicrobial Resistance in Urine using Nanopore Sequencing
(Master thesis, 2024)Abstract Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are widespread bacterial infections, affecting over 400 million people globally and causing approximately 237,000 deaths. UTIs account for 15-20% of all antibiotics prescribed in ... -
Population Genetic Analysis of Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Hedmark Country, Norway - A Pilot Study
(Master thesis, 2013)Ecological and environmental studies commonly depended on the knowledge of genetic variation among individuals within a population and most of the population studies were carried out using genetic markers. In this thesis, ... -
Price sensitivity in the clinical testing market for Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase
(Master thesis, 2019)This thesis studies the potential for using molecular testing for ESBL in Norwegian hospitals. Background material was obtained by checking the prices of existing kits, doing an interview with one of Norway’s foremost ... -
Protein separation using Design of Experiments and structure prediction in mixed modechromatography of potato protease inhibitors.
(Master thesis, 2016)Mixed-mode chromatography is a chromatographic method in protein purification that utilizes more than one form of interactions between the stationary phase and the solutes. As being advantageous over other types of ... -
Rapid Detection of Pathogens and Antimicrobial Resistance in Urine Using Nanopore Sequencing
(Master thesis, 2023)Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a prevalent global health concern that accounts for 1-3% of primary healthcare visits and approximately 13.7% of community-based antibiotic prescriptions. The urinary tract is the most ... -
Red blood cell genotyping - for all hospitals?
(Master thesis, 2022)Traditional antibody-based serologic typing methods are widely used to identify red blood cell (RBC) antigens. However, serology has limitations which might be circumvented by red cell genotyping. Currently, RBC genotyping ... -
Removal of Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs) and Opportunistic Pathogens from Wastewater Using Membrane Filtration Technology
(Master thesis, 2024)The widespread presence of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) and opportunistic pathogens/antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in wastewater has emerged as a serious threat to human health and the environment. This study ... -
Resistome Identification from Whole Genome Sequencing Data of Norwegian Isolates
(Master thesis, 2020)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is considered a potential threat to global health. Norway have had a low prevalence of resistant bacteria. But in the recent years there has been an increase in resistant bacteria including, ... -
Sperm quality parameters in salmon and halibut in relation to fertilizing potential
(Master thesis, 2022)Cryopreservation of milt sample refers to preserving these samples by storing them at excessively low temperature (−196 °C) in order to increase their shelf-life. One of the main objectives of this project was to standardize ... -
Status of intellectual protection for the genetic markers in swine breeding: And its potential influence on Norsvin’s research and intellectual protection strategy
(Master thesis, 2011)Pig is one of the first animals that were domesticated, and pork is one of the most widespread meat products in food market. At present, up-to-date genetic and biotechnological approaches form a solid basis for the ... -
Studies of Sex-sorted Bull Sperm Cells Establishment of a New Potential Sperm Quality Test
(Master thesis, 2023)Sex-sorting of sperm cells is a technology that is growing globally for the use in the breeding of cattle. Sorting of X- and Y-Chromosome bearing spermatozoa is done by flowcytometry before cryopreservation and it is ... -
Study of pathogenicity, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from Norway and India using whole-genome sequence data
(Master thesis, 2022)Acinetobacter baumannii er et fremvoksende patogen over hele verden som hovedsakelig forårsaker sykehusinfeksjoner og har blitt en trussel for helsevesenet på grunn av dets multimedikamentresistens (MDR). Fremskrittene ... -
