    The growing popularity of nature-based tourism means that the tourism industry is increasingly utilizing wilderness areas to provide visitor experiences. However, tourism activities negatively impact wilderness quality. Tourism service providers play ...
  • Kazemi, Masoumeh (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2025-01)
    The present thesis is devoted to a theoretical analysis of optical excitonic response and magnetic lattice dynamics in two-dimensional materials, in particular monolayers of CrI3 . Combining the results of DFT and Bethe-Salpeter simulations ...
  • Staub, Maya; Gursch, Ann-Marie; Puschmann, Anne-Katrin; de Witt Huberts, Jessie; Müller, Juliane; Wippert, Pia-Maria (Pabst, 2018)
    Ziel: Inwiefern physio- oder trainingstherapeutische Programme bei chronisch unspezifischen Ruckenschmerzen (CURS) nachhaltig wirksam sind, hangt masgeblich von der Compliance der Teilnehmer ab. Ziel der Studie ist es daher, aus Sicht der Behandler zu ...
  • de la Cámara, Marina (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2025-01)
    Exploring the genetic basis of ecological diversification is crucial to understand how diversity is generated and maintained. The overall aim of this thesis is to disentangle the genetic basis behind the ecological differentiation of the Arctic charr ...
  • Olagunju, Olanrewaju (University of Iceland, School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Economics, 2024-12-19)
    This dissertation provides an economic assessment of catfish farming in Nigeria and offers actionable recommendations for revitalization. Data collection was conducted in two phases: a preliminary study involving 30 farms took place from July to August ...
  • Arnadottir, Sigurveig (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2024-12)
    Jöklar ísaldar og vatnsföll hafa grafið sig inn í fjölda megineldstöðva sem mynduðust á Íslandi á Míósen og Plíósen og því má nú með góðu móti kanna innviði margra þeirra og rannsaka um leið gerð og þróun slíkra eldfjalla. Ritgerð þessi fjallar um ...
  • Hreinsdóttir, Steinunn (University of Iceland, School of Humanities, Faculty of Philosophy, History and Archaeology, 2025-02-07)
    In this dissertation and through the phenomenology of the body, I explore the nature of touch, affect and implicit meaning in the formation of meaning in Luce Irigaray’s philosophy linked to her concept of sexual difference, embodiment and action in ...
  • Erlendsdóttir, Guðlaug (University of Iceland, School of Education, 2025-01-14)
    Í gegnum tíðina, hefur alþjóða samfélagið samþykkt og staðfest ýmsar alþjóðlegar yfirlýsingar er varða menntun og mannréttindi. Fyrsta slíka samþykktin leit dagsins ljós árið 1948 þegar Sameinuðu Þjóðirnar birtu yfirlýsingu þar sem fram kom að allir ...
  • Theodorsson, Unnar (University of Iceland, School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Business Administration, 2024-11)

  • Nagy, Vivien (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2024-12)
    Kítósan er náttúruleg fjölliða með víðtækt notagildi. Hún er örveruhemjandi, óeitruð og hefur lífsamrýmanleika auk þess að vera niðurbrjótanleg. Þessir eiginleikar gera fjölliðuna áhugaverða til notkunar í lyfja- og læknisfræðilegum tilgangi. Rannsóknir ...
  • Olson, Sarah Christine (2024-12)
    To stay within the 1.5 degree warming limit, changes to lifestyle and personal consumption are necessary to mitigate the effects of climate change. From a consumptive perspective, the emissions from affluent countries and individuals are greatly exceeding ...
  • Palsson, Arnar; Steele, Sarah Elizabeth (Wiley, 2023-05-31)
    Adaptations occur at many levels, for example, from DNA sequence of regulatory elements and cellular homeostatic systems to organismal physiology and behaviour (Mayr, 1997). Established adaptations are maintained by purifying and stabilizing selection. ...
