This revealed that infants were expected to predominantly sleep outside in a stroller during the day and either bedshare, room share or sleep independently ...
    • Locating potential sources of capacity and vulnerability in geographically remote areas: Reflections based on three case studies 

      Hamza, Mo; Eriksson, Kerstin; Staupe-Delgado, Reidar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-02)
      The relationship between geographical and social forms of remoteness and the concepts of vulnerability and capacity remains unclear. Recognising that capacities and vulnerabilities tend to co-exist in a population, the article assumes that the dynamics between these concepts are situational. In this article we draw on three cases to analyse the issue. An Arctic case study provides insight on remoteness ...

      Borhaug, Hans Berg (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-09-15)
      The ocean is vulnerable to oil related activities such as oil production and transport that can harm the environment. Environmental damages from oil spills can be large if not dealt with. Satellite images from radar are useful to detect oil spills because they cover both day and night and penetrates clouds. However, detecting oil spills in ocean areas from satellite images are not a trivial task due ...
    • Give Coercive Diplomacy a Chance? The “Ideal Policy" for Coercive Diplomacy Success 

      Høigaard, Rein Blaalid (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2017-11-15)
      This thesis examines coercive diplomacy theory by testing P.V. Jakobsen’s conceptual “ideal policy” framework identifying four minimum conditions for coercive diplomacy success. The ideal policy is a parsimonious framework derived to determine the probability for success or explain coercive diplomacy outcomes post hoc. The aim of the theory- testing is to evaluate if the conceptual framework can ...

    • How many women judges are enough on international courts? 

      Føllesdal, Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-21)
      The African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACtHPR) made history on August 27, 2018. The majority of its judges were female—six of 11, and the first among international courts and tribunals (ICs) to secure sex parity—that is, numerical equality.1 This achievement is even more remarkable given that only 23% of the judges and arbitrators of the ICs are women.2 The milestone also prompts us ...
