    • Anglophone hegemony in tourism studies today 

      Dann, Graham Michael S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-06-29)
      Building on a recent co-edited work (Dann and Liebman Parrinello, 2009), this account seeks to demonstrate that tourism studies as a field has been unjustifiably dominated by English speakers. The point is illustrated firstly in terms of its four major theories that claim to have their origin in the Anglophone world of the 70s in spite of the realisation that they had their antecedents in ...

    • Ecological Drivers of Mercury Bioaccumulation in Fish of a Subarctic Watercourse 

      Amundsen, Per-Arne; Henriksson, Nina Matilda; Poste, Amanda; Prati, Sebastian; Power, Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-02)
      Mercury (Hg) is a serious concern for aquatic ecosystems because it may biomagnify to harmful concentrations within food webs and consequently end up in humans that eat fish. However, the trophic transfer of mercury through the aquatic food web may be impacted by several factors related to network complexity and the ecology of the species present. The present study addresses the interplay between ...
    • Illegal fishing: A challenge to fisheries management in Norway

    • Blending spline surfaces over polygon mesh and their application to isogeometric analysis 

      Kravetc, Tatiana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-11)
      Finite elements are allowed to be of a shape suitable for the specific problem. This choice defines thereafter the accuracy of the approximated solution. Moreover, flexible element shapes allow for the construction of an arbitrary domain topology. Polygon meshes are a common representation of the domain that cover any choice of the finite element shape. Being an alternative tool for modeling and ...
    • Neuroticism as an antecedent of abusive supervision and laissez-faire leadership in emergent leaders: The role of facets and agreeableness as a moderator 

      Fosse, Thomas Hol; Martinussen, Monica; Sørlie, Henrik; Skogstad, Anders; Martinsen, Øyvind L.; Einarsen, Ståle Valvatne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-17)
      Academic interest in the relationship between leaders' personality and subordinates’ perception of destructive leadership behavior is increasing. However, results so far have been weak, contradictory, and inconsistent to theory. Here, we examine if using facets of neuroticism, rather than the broader trait, can be more informative and increases the predictive power. Next, we explore the interplay ...
