Levels of BDNF, Pro-BDNF, Leptin and Adiponectin in inpatients with severe mental disorders: A cross-sectional cohort study
(Master thesis, 2024)Nevroner og dens dysregulering er knyttet til mentale lidelser. Hjerne-avledet nevrotrofisk faktor (BDNF) spiller en nøkkelrolle i nevronal utvikling, overlevelse og i å forbedre synaptisk plastisitet, mens forløperen ... -
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 ... -
Feasibility study and initial business plan to introduce pharmacy vending machines in the Norwegian healthcare system.
(Master thesis, 2024)The introduction of pharmacy vending machines would be an innovative concept within the Norwegian healthcare system. This product concept would operate around the clock for the whole year and offer more convenient means ... -
Exploring the impact of cryoprotective agents on bovine oocytes: A comprehensive investigation into lipid damage and its implications for cryopreservation success
(Master thesis, 2024)Cryopreservation has increased the possibilities in animal genetic breeding and reproduction technologies. In recent years, vitrification has emerged as a promising substitute for conventional cryopreservation techniques, ... -
Assessment of the enzymatic saccharification of poly-saccharides contained in spent mushroom substrate
(Master thesis, 2024)Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is a leftover lignocellulosic biomass from mushroom cultivation that is rich in cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin, and other biological components, making it a potential renewable resource ... -
The influence of cryoprotectants on bovine embryos.
(Master thesis, 2024)Cryoprotective agents (CPAs) are crucial for vitrification of e.g., oocytes and embryos, aiding in assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). CPAs protect the cell when exposed to freezing temperatures of liquid nitrogen ... -
Biomarker analysis of bull sperm cells by flow cytometry to define sperm health in relation to fertility
(Master thesis, 2024)Fertility in the cattle breeding industry is an important trait to select for, but has been neglected for many years, resulting in a worldwide decline of fertility in most breeds. The Norwegian Red breed on the other hand ... -
Bioethanol from Norwegian domesticated yeast (kveik): Exploring the high-temperature fermentation of cellulosic and hemicellulosic sugars from steam-exploded lignocellulose
(Master thesis, 2024)First-generation bioethanol is primarily produced from sugar-cane and starch feedstock, mainly in Brazil and the USA. However, these feedstocks directly impact the food chain, necessitating alternative sources for bioethanol ... -
Bioethanol Production in Kveik Yeast: Testing Usefulness of Farmhouse Brewing Yeast for Industrial use.
(Master thesis, 2024)Kveik yeast, a strain of S. cerevisiae originating from Norwegian brewing, exhibits thermotolerance, contributing to rapid fermentation within 24-48 hours, and can withstand stressful conditions. This thesis investigated ... -
Development of whole genome sequencing methodology for studying the genetic diversity of TBEV in Norway: prevalence estimation and improvement of the amplification methods for whole genome sequencing.
(Master thesis, 2024)The tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), classified as an arbovirus within the Flavivirus genus, is responsible for tick-borne encephalitis. Ticks serve as main vector for TBEV. TBE is a serious disease condition in humans ... -
Boar sperm quality applying different preservation technologies
(Master thesis, 2024)Commercial pig producers use artificial insemination (AI) extensively for breeding purposes. Successful outcome of AI practices is thus extremely important. Several factors important for successful fertilization, healthy ... -
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 ... -
