Fatty acid analysis of dairy products after in vitro digestion by using offline SPE and GC-MS.
(Master thesis, 2023)Dairy products are an essential source of nutrition in Nordic diets. Lipids are a substantial part of bovine milk and a vital energy source, as well as providing physiological components in enzymes and immune systems, ... -
Deciphering transcriptional regulation using deep neural networks
(Master thesis, 2023)The DNA holds the recipe of all life functions. To decipher the instructions, one has to learn and understand its complex syntax. The non-coding DNA contains regulatory elements, that are essential to control and activate ... -
Evaluation of machine learning methods to decode transcriptional regulation
(Master thesis, 2023)With large biological measurements made possible by the development of high-throughput technology, it allows for the study of genomic data. In transcriptional regulation the cell controls the translation of DNA to RNA, and ... -
The effects of Rapamycin on Lifespan and Healthspan in Caenorhabditis elegans atg-18 mutants
(Master thesis, 2023)Aging is a biological process causing loss of physical integrity, reduced function, and higher vulnerability to death. Aging also increases the risk of major human diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular ... -
Development and application of an isomer specific quantification method for perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in Arctic environmental samples
(Master thesis, 2023)Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic, persistent pollutants found all over the world. These compounds have the ability to repel both water and oil, and are known for their durability. Since the 1950s ... -
Strukturelle og spektroskopiske studier av Tyrosinase fra Bacillus megaterium
(Master thesis, 2023)Prosjektet COOFIX har som formål å utvikle enzymer som fikserer og transformerer karbondioksid til flerkarbonforbindelser, enten som en enkeltstående bestanddel i industrielle prosesser eller som et ledd i allerede ... -
Structure of Native Copper Nitrite Reductase from Alcaligenes faecalis and the Active Site Mutants Asp98Glu and Asp98His
(Master thesis, 2023)Copper-dependent nitrite reductase from Alcaligenes faecalis (Cu-AfNiR) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of nitrite into nitric oxide. A highly conserved residue, Asp98, in the Type-2 Cu active site, is the proton ... -
Using Graph Bayesian Neural Networks for fraud pattern detection and classification from bank transactions data
(Master thesis, 2023)The thesis aims to conduct an investigation into money laundering networks by synthesizing many earlier methods. The methodology begins by training a Bayesian graph neural network on a data set from DNB to learn the ... -
Place of Residence and the Gut Microbiome
(Master thesis, 2023)Background: Early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) in screening programs is important to reduce development of CRC from precursor lesions. The CRCbiome study, nested within the screening pilot Bowel Cancer Screening ... -
Sustainable meal servings at Norwegian Folk High Schools - A Qualitative and Quantitative Investigation of motivations, attitudes, and student acceptance
(Master thesis, 2023)Av hensyn til både miljø og menneskers helse er det nødvendig å gå over til et mer bærekraftig kosthold. Overforbruk av animalsk mat har skadelig innvirkning på både helsen og planeten vår. Målet med studien var å tilegne ... -
Prebiotics and synbiotics effect on CNS-related conditions in humans: a systematic review
(Master thesis, 2023)The important role of the gut microbiota in human health is already well established, and researchers have grown an increased interest in this subject over the past years. Various studies have suggested that an altered ... -
Denitrification role in N2O Emission
(Master thesis, 2023)Denne masteroppgaven fokuserer på denitrifisering av N2O, som er en viktig del av nitrogenforurensning og en global miljøutfordring. Nitrogen er et avgjørende element som regulerer artsmangfoldet i ulike økosystemer. Mens ... -
Persistens og plasmidoverføring hos cefalosporin-resistente Escherichia coli i vann og jord
(Master thesis, 2023)Antibiotikaresistens hos bakterier er et økende problem globalt. Dette er en alvorlig trussel mot moderne medisin og folkehelsen. Hoveddelen av forskningen på dette området har naturlig nok vært knyttet til human- og ... -
Significance of bacteriocin associated ABC transporter genes in oral streptococci biofilm
(Master thesis, 2023)Biofilms are aggregated communities of microorganisms, that are involved with up to 80% of all human infections including oral diseases, chronic tissue infections, chronic inflammatory diseases, and acute infections. The ... -
Optimization of a genotyping scheme for Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum including markers for macrolide resistance
(Master thesis, 2023)Syfilis er en seksuelt overførbar infeksjon, og er et viktig folkehelseproblem både i Norge og i verden. Forekomst av syfilis har økt i de senere årene, spesielt blant menn som har sex med menn (MSM). Bakterien Treponema ... -
Denitrification and Its Application in High-Cell-Density Cultivation for Single-Cell Protein Production
(Master thesis, 2023)Denitrification is one of the key processes in the nitrogen cycle, being responsible for the reduction of biologically available nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) to nitrogen gas (N2), with nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous ... -
