Vanadium removal from mining ditch water using commercial iron products and ferric groundwater treatment residual-based materials
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-06)Removal of vanadium from liquid waste streams protects the environment from toxic vanadium species and promotes the recovery of the valuable metal. In this study, real mining ditch water was sampled from a closed vanadium mine (V–Fe–Ti oxide deposit, Finland) and used in sorption experiments at prevailing vanadium concentration (4.66–6.85 mg/L) and pH conditions (7.02–7.83). The high concentration ... -
Verneombudets rolle i sikkerhetsarbeidet - case-studier i bygg og anlegg

Vertical profiles of black carbon and nanoparticles pollutants measured by a tethered balloon in Longyearbyen (Svalbard islands)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-09)Airborne meteorological and aerosol measurements have been performed in Longyearbyen (Svalbard islands) in the summer of 2018, coupling an instrumental aerosol payload with a meteorological radiosonde deployed on a tethered balloon. More than 70 vertical profiles of aerosol and meteorological properties have been recorded up to a maximum altitude of 1.2 km. As a main result, the present work provides ... -
Way-finding on-board training for maritime vessels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-03)In the maritime industry, it is of vital importance that personnel onboard ships are familiarized with the ship’s layout, along with safety equipment and processes for safeguarding of the individual seafarer and the ship’s crew. In fact, international maritime regulations require that all personnel employed or engaged on a seagoing ship receive proper familiarization training. However, several studies ... -
What makes an acute emergency? Temporal manifestation patterns and global health emergencies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-09)In this article, we consider the role that onset patterns play in shaping how acute global events are taken to be, drawing on illustrative cases from the field of global health emergencies. We identify four temporal manifestation patterns that we argue display distinct political dynamics. First, an emergent onset pattern (e.g. the H1N1 health emergency), with political dynamics dominated by ... -
What similarities can municipalities experience in crisis management?
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017-06)Municipalities have an important role in crisis management. The Norwegian emergency principles of responsibility, parity and proximity are central, and the government expects municipalities to take care of crises in their area in accordance with the civil protection law. Due to the varying natures of different crises, one can expect crisis management to take different paths. This paper challenges ... -
Why Is the Construction Industry Killing More Workers Than the Offshore Petroleum Industry in Occupational Accidents?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-07)In Norway, the fatal accident frequency per year is discernibly higher in the construction industry than in the petroleum industry. To probe the difference between the occupational safety levels in the two industries in Norway, semi-structured interviews with regulators, employer and employee organisations, company management, and safety personnel were conducted. This qualitative approach, together ... -
Wind Chill Effect in Cold Climate: Study of Wind Chill Effect Using Infrared Imaging
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016)Wind chill factor is explained as the cooling sensation due to the exposure of wind temperature environment. The wind chill factor depends on air temperature, wind velocity and humidity. Wind chill poses serious health risks. Various wind chill index models are given in literature. In order to understand the wind chill effect, it is important to understand the phenomenon of heat transfer. There are ...
