    • Can Difficult Lectures be Interesting AND Pleasant? Hedonic and Eudaimonic Feelings as a Function of Perceived Difficulty 

      Ivan, Håvard (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-12-01)
      What is it that makes challenge and complexity so appealing to humans? Research derived from positive psychology have tried to answer this question, and in the process found evidence suggesting that people experience different feelings as the perception of difficulty rises. In this study, using Gudrun Eckblad’s scheme theory as premise, we predicted that reported feelings of pleasure would be most ...

      Berge, Anne Kristin McLaren; Garcia, Juncal Garcia; Sjøttem, Eva; Olsvik, Hallvard Lauritz (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-05)
      Mitochondria are the center for energy production, cell fate determination and synthesis of essential biomolecules in cells. Hence, mitochondrial quality control mechanisms are essential for cellular health. Failure of these control mechanisms may lead to damaged mitochondria that represent a threat to cell survival. Mitophagy is a selective autophagy process that removes damaged mitochondria ...

    • Obesity-related venous thromboembolism 

      Frischmuth, Tobias (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-02-22)
      Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a collective term for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a common and multicausal disease. Obesity is a major and likely causal risk factor for VTE. However, to what extent obesity contributes to VTE risk in the general population and the mechanism of obesity-related VTE remain poorly understood. The overall aim of this thesis was (i) to ...
