Omstilling og endring i offentlig sektor: «Hvordan forstås begrepene bærekraftig utvikling og grønt skifte i Randaberg kommune? Og hva er Randaberg kommune sin tilnærming til en grønn og bærekraftig omstillingsprosess?»
(Bachelor thesis, 2021)Temaet for denne oppgaven er endring og kommunikasjon i forbindelse med det grønne skiftet, og bærekraftig utvikling i en politisk styrt organisasjon. Formålet med oppgaven har hele tiden vært å finne ut hvordan Randaberg ... -
On a class of integrable systems of Monge-Ampère type
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-06)We investigate a class of multi-dimensional two-component systems of Monge-Ampère type that can be viewed as generalisations of heavenly type equations appearing in a self-dual Ricci-flat geometry. Based on the Jordan-Kronecker ... -
On a sustainable development path? A comparative case study of Norway and Sweden’s national sustainable development strategies and indicators
(Masteroppgave/UIS-SV-IMKS/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)This thesis explores the phenomenon of national sustainable development strategies by comparing such strategies for Norway and Sweden. Based on the operationalization of their strategies into goals and indicators, it is ... -
On a uniqueness property of second convolutions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)Let M∞ denote the space of all finite nontrivial complex Borel measures on the real line whose variation has a fast decay at −∞. -
On Competition-driven Teaching of Multidisciplinary Engineering Education: Implementation cases at University of Stavanger
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)This article will reflect the experience gained on problem-based learning (PBL) projects implemented in the last six years at University of Stavanger (UiS). The PBL projects were implemented by establishing two ”student-driven” ... -
On computational linear semi-infinite programming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-12) -
On discontinuous Galerkin approach for atmospheric flow in the mesoscale with and without moisture
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-06)We present and discuss discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for dry and moist atmospheric flows in the mesoscale. We derive terrain-following coordinates on the sphere in strong-conservation form, which makes it possible ... -
On high-order perturbative calculations at finite density
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-02)We discuss the prospects of performing high-order perturbative calculations in systems characterized by a vanishing temperature but finite density. In particular, we show that the determination of generic Feynman integrals ... -
On how access to an insurance market affects investments in safety measures, based on the expected utility theory
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-03)This paper focuses on how access to an insurance market should influence investments in safety measures in accordance with the ruling paradigm for decision-making under uncertainty—the expected utility theory. We show that ... -
On how fiction impacts the self-concept : Transformative reading experiences and storyworld possible selves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-10)Several empirical findings suggest that reading fiction expands and shapes our sense of self. This paper contributes to this line of research by mapping which temporal dimensions of the self-concept (Markus & Nurius, 1987) ... -
On how to characterize and confront misinformation in a risk context
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Misinformation is one of the largest challenges for risk assessment and communication. However, the term misinformation in relation to risk has not yet been clearly interpreted by the risk field. Basic definitions of ... -
On how to conceptualise and describe risk
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)A number of definitions and interpretations of the risk concept exist. Many of these are probabilitybased. In this paper we present and discuss a structure for characterising the definitions, which is founded on a clear ... -
On how to describe security risk?
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)The word terrorism is one of the most-used terms in a daily life of people in this century. Governments and organisations apply many different definitions to cope with their existing issue(s). Thus, the terrorism risk ... -
On human errors in maintenance: risk potential and mitigation
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-16)In this thesis, we have firstly reviewed the maintenance management evolution process, meanwhile depends on relevant data and conclusions from other literatures, we found that in general human errors are the causation ... -
On Interpretation and Measurement of Soft Attributes for Recommendation
(Chapter, 2021-07)We address how to robustly interpret natural language refinements (or critiques) in recommender systems. In particular, in human-human recommendation settings people frequently use soft attributes to express preferences ... -
On Operational Safety Compliance for More Reliable Risk Safety Functions In Offshore Installations
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-13)Due to a recent increase in major accident risk, efforts are being made to improve the robustness of the safety functions of offshore installations. Based on how the safety functions are defined and structured, their ... -
On Phonon Lasing
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)An article titled "A Phonon Laser", reported an experiment. Where a Mg+ ion was placed in a harmonic potential. It was pushed by two lasers, pointing in the same direction. One laser pushed when the Mg+ ion went towards ... -
On predicting time to completion for the first stage of spontaneous labor at term in multiparous women
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-06)Background Labor that progresses faster than anticipated may lead to unplanned out-of-hospital births. With the aim to improve planning of transportation to birthing institutions, this study investigated predictors of ... -
On Scope Sensitivity and its Determinants in Environmental Valuation
(Master thesis, 2021)This thesis investigates the determinants of sensitivity to the scope of damages caused by oil spills on an individual level. We examine the results of two contingent valuation (CV) surveys conducted in 2020 on Norwegians’ ... -
