Negotiating the European External Action Service (EEAS): Analysing the External Effects of Internal (Dis)Agreement
2012
Presentation on department page: http://www.uia.no/no/portaler/om_universitetet/oekonomi_og_samfunnsvitenskap/statsvitenskap_og_ledelsesfag/ forskning_isl/isl_working_papers_series Analyses of the rising capacity for coordination within the Secretariats-General of the European Commission and Council have concentrated on their effects within these respective institutions. This article, in contrast, argues that the presence/absence of coordination capacities developed within an institution may have an important bearing also on the relations between institutions (e.g., in inter-institutional negotiations). The empirical analysis traces the negotiation process leading up to the creation of the …
When EU liberalisation fails: The case of the Port Directive
2012
Presentation on department page: http://www.uia.no/no/portaler/om_universitetet/oekonomi_og_samfunnsvitenskap/statsvitenskap_og_ledelsesfag/ forskning_isl/isl_working_papers_series The prevailing literature on European integration holds that asymmetries towards negative integration in the treaties are important for explaining increasing liberalisation reform in the EU. Additionally,literature on interest groups gives several reasons as to why labour unions are not likely to succeed at the EU level. However, to understand European integration, there is a need to also understand lack of integration. An in-depth analysis of the decision-making process of the EU Port Directive highlights the im…
Applying the Identity Status Paradigm to Managers’ Moral Identity
2019
We investigated the applicability of the identity status paradigm in identifying different stages of moral identity maturity among managers, focusing on how they solve moral conflicts in the context of work. Researchers conducted two theory-driven studies. Study 1 was based on focus group discussions among 16 managers, while Study 2 was based on open-ended questionnaire items from 180 managers. Both studies supported the hypothesized identity statuses. The status named diffusion included a lack of commitment to moral values and associated with avoiding moral questions at work. In foreclosure, extrinsic (e.g., organizational) values were adopted and applied to personal decision-making. Manag…
Increased basic fibroblast growth factor release and proliferation in xenotransplanted squamous cell carcinoma after combined irradiation/anti-vascul…
2012
Novel strategies of cancer therapy combine irradiation and anti-angiogenic active compounds. However, little is known concerning the undesired cellular and molecular effects caused by this novel treatment concept. We used a mouse squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) xenotransplantation model to evaluate the potential undesired effects which compromise the success of this therapeutic combination. SCCs were subcutanously implanted in nude mice. Animals were treated with a fractionated irradiation scheme (5x4 Gy) alone or in combination with daily injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibodies. Controls remained untreated. Before and after treatment, resonance imaging (MRI), …
Highly transitive actions of groups acting on trees
2015
We show that a group acting on a non-trivial tree with finite edge stabilizers and icc vertex stabilizers admits a faithful and highly transitive action on an infinite countable set. This result is actually true for infinite vertex stabilizers and some more general, finite of infinite, edge stabilizers that we call highly core-free. We study the notion of highly core-free subgroups and give some examples. In the case of amalgamated free products over highly core-free subgroups and HNN extensions with highly core-free base groups we obtain a genericity result for faithful and highly transitive actions. In particular, we recover the result of D. Kitroser stating that the fundamental group of …
Konfliktråd i fengsel : rapport fra et prosjekt 2003/2004
2005
Rapport fra prosjektet "Konfliktregimer" ”Hvorfor var det ingen som fortalte meg om Konfliktrådet da jeg var 15 år?” Den unge mannen var ganske oppgitt. Han var dømt for flere forhold og satt nå inne for tredje gang. Ut fra Konfliktrådet i Agder har vi over et år truffet flere innsatte i fengselet og pratet med dem om deres egne konflikter og deres behov for å benytte seg av megling. Etter avsluttet prosjekt, kan vi oppsummere med flere meglede saker, mange gode samtaler og gode erfaringer i samarbeidet med fengselet1. Arbeidet kan ses som en videreføring av erfaringer fra prosjektet ”Megling i voldssaker” som ble igangsatt av Justisdepartementet i årene 2001-2004. Den nye straffegjennomfør…
Prosjektet "Megling i voldssaker" ved Konfliktrådet for Hordaland : evalueringsrapport
2004
På omslaget: Fakultet for helse- og idrettsfag Forsøksprosjektet ”Megling i voldssaker” ble knyttet til konfliktrådet for Hordaland og gikk over tre år (april 2000-mars 2004). Det ble tilsatt prosjektleder, og tolv erfarne meglere fra konfliktrådet fikk tilleggsopplæring i megling i voldssaker. I alt 186 personer i 79 voldssaker ble invitert til deltakelse, men ved prosjektets slutt hadde bare åtte meglinger funnet sted, det vil si i ti prosent av sakene. En innlysende grunn til at det ble så få meglinger var at de voldsofre og -utøvere man tilbød å møtes til megling ikke ønsket å møte. Noen var fornøyde med oppgjøret i rettssalen og hadde ikke noe ønske om å gjenoppta saken og å treffe den…
Combination of Searches for Invisible Higgs Boson Decays with the ATLAS Experiment
2019
Dark matter particles, if sufficiently light, may be produced in decays of the Higgs boson. This Letter presents a statistical combination of searches for H → invisible decays where H is produced according to the standard model via vector boson fusion, Z(ℓℓ)H, and W/Z(had)H, all performed with the ATLAS detector using 36.1 fb⁻¹ of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV at the LHC. In combination with the results at √s = 7 and 8 TeV, an exclusion limit on the H → invisible branching ratio of 0.26(0.17-0.05+0.07) at 95% confidence level is observed (expected).
