I møte med økt geopolitisk spenning, klimaendringer og et mer sammensatt trusselbilde har samfunnets kritiske infrastrukturer fått en tydeligere og forsterket betydning. Nordområdene har blitt særlig aktualisert, hvor det sikkerhetspolitiske fokuset er økende og kritisk infrastruktur som Ofotbanen fremstår som strategisk viktig og derav sårbar. Dette kommer tydelig frem i nasjonale trusselvurderinger ...

Denne casestudien har som formål å belyse hvilke faktorer og organisatoriske tiltak som påvirker team-resiliens i Bergen brannvesen. Dette ble gjort med å stille følgende forskningsspørsmål «hvilke faktorer påvirker team-resiliensen?» og «hvordan legger Bergen brannvesen til rette, eventuelt ikke til rette, for at team skal bli mer resiliente?». Ved å kombinere teoretiske perspektiver, kvantitativ ...

In an era of accelerating climate change, this thesis explores how Northern Norway´s food supply chain can strengthen its resilience through strategic scenario planning and adaptive measures. The study investigates both the short-term (10-year) and long-term (30-year) impacts of climate change on regional food logistics, using ASKO NORD as a case study. Drawing on resilience theory, the research ...

Loss of or absent situational awareness has previously been found to be a frequent cause in aviation accidents classified as Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT). The research literature indicate a gap in the studies of human factors and situational awareness in helicopters, specifically in Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) and Helicopter Search and Rescue (HSAR). This formed the incentive ...

In recent decades, rapid technology implementation in ship bridges have raised concerns about their role in contributing to human error and maritime accidents. Critical gaps emerge in our understanding of the interplay with system factors and human performance within this dynamic context. Accident investigations often overlook technology-related factors, as it is assumed that operators are already ...

At 04:01 on November 8th, 2018, the Norwegian frigate HNoMS Helge Ingstad collided with the tanker Sola TS near the Sture Terminal in the Hjeltefjord, eventually sinking. Of the 137 crew members, seven sustained minor injuries. While initial media attention focused on the collision, it later shifted to the legal proceedings. A single individual was convicted, with findings from the Accident Investigation ...

The projects aim was to find out if it is possible to increase temperature (research question 1), slow down the declining temperature (research question 2) or increase the subjective comfort related to temperature (research question 3) of feet while using insoles with elevated points, compared with using insoles without elevated points, in a cold environment. Six test subjects participated in an ...

Bygg- og anleggsbransjen er en av de mest ulykkesutsatte næringene i det norske arbeidslivet, og i statistikken er det en betydelig overhyppighet av skader i de yngste aldersgruppene. Denne studien forsker på hvordan organisasjoner i bygg- og anleggsbransjen kan bygge en sikkerhetskultur der unge arbeidstakere sin risiko for arbeidsskader- og ulykker reduseres. Sikkerhetskultur kan beskrives som en ...

The Internet of Things (IOT) is a concept of connecting variety of things or objects such as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, etc., through unique addressing schemes, to interact with each other and cooperate with their neighbors to reach common goals. Another more understandable definition is: The IOT is a physical network of physical objects, i.e., ...
