      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?

    • 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 ...

      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 ...

    • Informed investors, screening, and sorting on the London capital market, 1891-1913 

      Fjesme, Sturla Lyngnes; Hannah, Leslie; Moore, Lyndon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-02)
      Thousands of prospectuses offered shares to British investors at the turn of the twentieth century. We find evidence that there were informed investors who participated in the market at this time. Firms that attracted additional investor demand were more likely to be listed on the London Stock Exchange, survive longer, and achieve better long-run equity returns. We find that the exchange screened ...
