This thesis investigates the adoption of Evidence-Based Training (EBT) across the Scandinavian aviation sector, focusing on the voluntary implementation under European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations. It examines the perceptions and experiences of Scandinavian aviation operators with EBT, highlighting the factors that influence their decisions to adopt or reject the innovative training ...

Knowledge about seafloor depth, or bathymetry, is crucial for various marine activities, including scientific research, offshore industry, safety of navigation, and ocean exploration. Mapping the central Arctic Ocean is challenging due to the presence of perennial sea ice, which limits data collection to icebreakers, submarines, and drifting ice stations. The International Bathymetric Chart of the ...

Laser ablation is performed on an oxidized, roughly 35-year-old ²³²Th foil. The produced anionic and cationic molecules are investigated utilizing precision mass measurements by a multireflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Molecules with up to three thorium atoms are identified. This includes oxides Th_nO+ x containing up to 2n −1oxygenatomsandfurtherspeciesincorporating ...

Background - Despite extensive studies of the Mesozoic–Cenozoic magmatic history of Svalbard, little has been done on the Paleozoic magmatism due to fewer available outcrops.<p> <p>Methods - 2D seismic reflection data were used to study magmatic intrusions in the subsurface of eastern Svalbard. Results This work presents seismic evidence for west-dipping, Middle Devonian–Mississippian sills in ...

Integrating Machine Learning (ML) models into healthcare system, especially by Natural Language Processing (NLP), holds tremendous potential for improving hospital workflows and patient outcomes. This thesis presents the challenges and deployment of an NLP model, Automated Medical Entity Recognition (AMER), designed to extract medical entities from clinical text, within in cloud-based Machine Learning ...

A future sustainable energy system is expected to be digital, de-central, de-carbonized, and democratized. As the transition unfolds, new and diverse actors of various sizes will emerge in different segments. Thereby, the future energy system could shift its attention to the actors’ behavior than finding an optimum based on the physical system. Agent based modeling tools can reflect decisions from ...

In a world more and more dependent on new and effective energy sources, the introduction of fusion power could prove invaluable. Magnetic confinement of plasma has proved to be difficult, and the curvature of the magnetic field lines in tokamaks give rise to charge polarization at the boundary of the fusion devices leading to cross-field transport. Experiments has shown that the dominating transport ...

Massive injection of ¹³C depleted carbon to the ocean and atmosphere coincided with major environmental upheaval multiple times in the geological record. For several events, the source of carbon has been attributed to explosive venting of gas produced when magmatic sills intruded organic-rich sediment. The concept mostly derives from studies of a few ancient sedimentary basins with numerous ...

Amidst the intensifying extreme rainfall patterns due to climate change, global early warning systems for mass movements (e.g. landslides, avalanches) need to provide not only the coarsely aggregated danger reports, but also the necessary fine details to understand its potential implications on critical infrastructures such as transportation systems. In this study, we introduce a novel ‘intergraph’ ...

The youngest volcanic event known from Svalbard is represented by the Bockfjorden Volcanic Complex, located northwest on Spitsbergen at the passive continental margin. Mantle-derived xenoliths from Bockfjorden Volcanic Complex provide petrological insight to the mantle conditions beneath Svalbard, the northwestern extremity of the Eurasian lithospheric plate. New methods are available for pressure ...
