(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Dynamic aspects of liquid-particle flow were investigated through frequency analysis of pressure gradients and image processing of particle flow patterns. Experiments were conducted in a medium-scale flow loop with a ... -
Using digital technologies to automat and optimize drilling parameters in real-time, its impact on value creation, and work process
(Master thesis, 2023)The industry down-time from the second half of 2013 and corona pandemic has effectively turned most companies into introduction of new technologies and digitalization. The industrial landscape is undergoing innovation, ... -
Using framework analysis of the next-of-kin service at Pårørendesenteret in a multicultural context with multi-agency cooperation in Stavanger
(Master thesis, 2023)Background: With the increasing number of immigrants and refugees in Norway, there is a heavy burden on the healthcare system in the diverse environment. The role of the next-of-kin in cross-cultural families should be ... -
Using high-stakes grades to incentivize learning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)I use a natural experiment in Norwegian high school to investigate how high-stakes grades affect students’ investment in schooling. By exploiting variation across space and time I compare the performance of students taking ... -
Using Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) Towards Environmental and Human Health Footprints of Electrically Assisted Velomobile, PODBIKE
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-15)The transportation sector is responsible for the second largest ratio of the greenhouse gas emissions that can cause severe effects on human health and the environment. On the other hand, this sector is important by providing ... -
