  • Cross-cultural co-creation of a tourist site: the emic and etic makings 

    Lee, Young-Sook; Mathisen, Line; Søreng, Siri Ulfsdatter (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-10-17)
    This chapter discusses how an Arctic destination, North Cape, is co-created through time and space aided by tourists' engagement. We present two cases: (1) Thai visitors to the North Cape; and (2) North Cape as a brand in South Korea, drawing on qualitative methods. We argue that cross-cultural co-creation in tourism experiences depends on the knowledge of different emic and etic perceptions of the ...
  • Sustainability and justice: farm animals in rural tourism and lessons to be learned 

    Bertella, Giovanna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12)
    Farm animals are virtually ignored in tourism studies concerning sustainability and justice. This study argues that this conflicts with animal ethics and is a missed opportunity to reflect on sustainability and justice in tourism. It adopts an ecofeminist care ethics perspective and conducts autoethnographic research into farm animals, considered ‘silenced’ individuals belonging to a marginalised ...
  • A hands-on framework for the design and implementation of plant-based food experiences 

    Bertella, Giovanna; Brall, Vanessa; Berti, Lia (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)
    This chapter presents how to promote plant-based food consumption as both an ordinary and extraordinary experience. Studies on social, sustainability and experiential marketing are reviewed, and two cases in Arctic Norway are investigated that highlight the plant-based eating challenges of limited local production of vegetables and a dominant animal-based food culture. The cases concern a nonprofit ...

    Oftedal, Elin Merethe; Foss, Lene; Rutherford, Matthew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-10)
    New ventures introducing new technological innovations must, to survive, negotiate legitimacy with stakeholders who provide critical resources (e.g., Zimmerman and Zeitz, 2002). Legitimacy - “a generalized perception or assumption that the actions of an entity are desirable, proper, or appropriate within some socially constructed system of norms, values, beliefs, and definitions” (Suchman, 1995, p. ...

    Inventory control is one of the key areas of research in logistics. Using the SCOPUS database, we have processed 9,829 articles on inventory control using triangulation of statistical methods and machine learning. We have proven the usefulness of the proposed statistical method and Graph Attention Network (GAT) architecture for determining trend-setting keywords in inventory control research. ...

  • Ville du spist denne bananen om den var sunn? 

    Alm, Siril; Borge, Baard Herman; Berg, Ane Norli; Ingebrigsten, Ingvild Marie Myrland; Rosanoff, Sara-Isabell (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2024-01-09)
    Vi nordmenn elsker banan. Så mye at de fleste av oss spiser hele 16 kilo hvert år. Men vi kaster også mye banan. Det er jo verken bra for pengeboka eller kloden, så hvordan kan vi løse dette problemet?
  • Unge voksne: Derfor kaster de brød 

    Alm, Siril; Elstad Stensgård, Aina; Andersen, Marcus Olling; Edvardsen, Charlotte; Velle, Torstein Aleksander; Karlsen, Johannes Martin (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2024-01-08)
    Brød er en viktig del av det norske kostholdet, og vi spiser i gjennomsnitt 60 kilo brød per person hvert år. Men vi kaster også mye brød, nesten 20 kilo hver person. Dette er jo verken bra for pengeboka eller miljøet, så hvordan kan vi redusere brødsvinnet?
  • Children and Youth at Risk in times of Transition. International and Interdisciplinary Perspectives 

    Ødegaard, Ingvill Constanze; Borge, Baard Herman; Kleinau, Elke (Book; Bok, 2023-12-04)
    Children and youth belong to one of the most vulnerable groups in societies. This was the case even before the current humanitarian crises around the world which led millions of people and families to flee from wars, terror, poverty and exploitation. Minors have been denied human rights such as access to education, food and health services. They have been kidnapped, sold, manipulated, mutilated, ...

  • The Dynamics of Pasture–Herbivores–Carnivores with Sigmoidal Density Dependent Harvesting 

    Bergland, Harald; Burlakov, Evgenii; Wyller, John Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-09-19)
    We investigate biomass–herbivore–carnivore (top predator) interactions in terms of a tritrophic dynamical systems model. The harvesting rates of the herbivores and the top predators are described by means of a sigmoidal function of the herbivores density and the top predator density, respectively. The main focus in this study is on the dynamics as a function of the natural mortality and the maximal ...
  • Relasjonsledelse. En studie av betydningen av leder – medarbeiderrelasjonen 

    Eliassen, Hilde; Jacobsen, Merethe (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-12-01)
    I dette forskningsprosjektet har vi søkelys på relasjonen mellom leder og medarbeider. Vi tilbringer store deler av dagen på jobb, og det er viktig å føle at man har en god relasjon og føler trygghet til sin leder. Det er dessverre ikke slik for alle, noe som kan resultere i både turnover, sykemeldinger og konflikter. Dette er verken bedriften eller den enkelte medarbeider tjent med. Formålet ...
  • The COVID-19 pandemic and regional economic resilience in northern Finland, Norway, and Sweden – bouncing back or not?

  • How moral disengagement links to destination marketing organisations’ moral muteness in their sustainability communications 

    Vespestad, May Kristin; Hehir, Christy; Koivunen, Kati (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-13)
    If destination marketing organisations (DMOs) are to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, they have a moral responsibility to encourage the development of more sustainable tourism, to promote this to consumers and engage them to behave more sustainably. However, we know little about how these DMOs frame the sustainability discourses of their destinations or how they urge ...

    Social entrepreneurship plays a key role in making tourism an inclusive activity. Literature on the topic is increasing but needs to pay more attention to collaboration, which is crucial for social enterprises. To overcome this gap, the research focuses on the impact that social entrepreneurs’ drivers and barriers towards collaboration might have on providing decent work in rural tourism. The research ...
  • “An echo of our parents”: Norway’s Legal Reckoning with Underage NS Collaborators

We relied on an action research approach that involved implementing one of the initiatives included in the study, interviews with key informants, and secondary data. ...
  • Fjernledelse i utdanningssektoren. Hvordan opplever og håndterer avstandsledete den psykologiske kontrakten? 

    Stendal, Cecilie Victoria (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-31)
    Utdanningssektoren har vært preget av en rekke restruktureringer de siste årene, der fusjoneringer av tidligere selvstendige høyskoler og universiteter har medført at mange ansatte må ledes over store geografiske områder gjennom fjernledelse. Dette er tilfellet ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet, som består av elleve studiesteder i Nord-Norge med hovedcampus i Tromsø. <p> <p>Denne studien har ...
  • Praksisbasert utdanning - virkemiddel for å styrke entreprenørskap i rurale områder
