Destruktivt lederskap i luftfarten. En studie om sammenhengen mellom lederatferd og utbrenthet, jobbengasjement og organisasjonsforpliktelse i et flysikkerhetsperspektiv.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-25)Destruktiv ledelse og teorien rundt dette fenomenet er forholdsvis lite utforsket, både generelt, men også i luftfartsbransjen. Det finnes likevel noe forskning som denne studien kan knyttes opp mot. Destruktivt lederskap er til en viss grad utbredt, og denne typen ledelse har vist seg skadelig både for organisasjon og de ansatte. Denne studien belyser mulige sammenhenger mellom destruktiv ledelse, ... -
Annerledes og likeverdig: førstelektorstillingens skjebne under akademias konvensjoner
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-07)I Norge finnes to karriereveier innen undervisning og forskning i høyere utdanning. Veien fra stipendiat via førsteamanuensis til professor er den mest brukte. Men en tredel av de tilsatte i høyere utdanning er tilsatt i en karrierestige som går fra universitets- eller høgskolelektor via førstelektor til dosent. De to karriereveiene kan sies å være knyttet til ulike kunnskapsregimer. I de siste 20 ... -
Risk Assessment of a Mars Colony Utilizing a Mars-Svalbard Training Analog
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-04)As the space industry is rapidly privatized and countries once again have their eyes set on the moon and beyond, humanity is getting closer and closer to the days where a colony on Mars is a reality. During the preliminary planning phase of a mission to Mars, a large scale, top-down overview is essential. This report applies a risk and safety engineering approach to identify each of the core hazards, ... -
Localized advanced ship predictor for maritime situation awareness with ship close encounter
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-04)The marine navigation environment can become further complex when ships with different autonomy levels are introduced. To ensure navigation safety in such a mixed environment, advanced ship predictor type technologies are essential in aiding ship navigators to attain the highest levels of situation awareness (SA). Consequently, precise ship trajectory prediction, specifically within a short prediction ... -
Investigation and analysis of the ‘cold’ sensation relation with respect to associated parameters: wind velocity, ambient temperature, humidity, and irradiance
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-07-15)The Arctic is considered as one of the regions in the world with various resources including oil and gas. Many industries are moving further up north to this area or new industries are being established. Technologies and industries in the Arctic have many challenges regarding the harsh cold climate. One of the main challenges which is of importance in this thesis is human exposure to the cold that ... -
Assessing resilience in mechanical systems: an industrial perspective
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024)Purpose - Resilience as a novel concept has attracted the most attention in the management of engineering systems. The main goal of engineering systems is production assurance and increasing customer satisfaction which depends on the suitable performance of mechanical equipment. “A resilient system is defined as a system that is resistant to disruption and failures and can recover itself and returns ... -
