Jesu oppstandelse og naturlovene
2012
Author's version of an article published in the journal: Norsk filosofisk tidsskrift. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/nft/2012/04/jesu_oppstandelse_og_naturlovene In this article, I defend the possibility of understanding the resurrection of Jesus as an event within the framework of natural laws. In this way, the resurrection is not necessarily contrary to Natural Science or belief in the existence of Natural laws. I offer, at the same time, a critique of one of David Hume's arguments against the belief in miracles. - I denne artikkelen forsøker jeg å åpne opp for den mulighet at Jesu oppstandelse ikke vil innebære et brudd med verken naturlover eller vitenskape…

Slik framstår det som en av 1900-tallets viktigste kirkelige begivenheter – ja, som en av de største revolusjonene i kirkens liv overhodet. I denne artikkelen redegjør professor Ola Tjørhom for hva som skjedde i og med Vaticanum II, samtidig som han uttrykker bekymring for den konsiliære arven. Denne arven t…

A roadmap towards improving managed security services from a privacy perspective
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Ethics and Information Technology. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10676-014-9348-3 This paper proposes a roadmap for how privacy leakages from outsourced managed security services using intrusion detection systems can be controlled. The paper first analyses the risk of leaking private or confidential information from signature-based intrusion detection systems. It then discusses how the situation can be improved by developing adequate privacy enforcement methods and privacy leakage metrics in order to control and reduce the leakage of private and confidential information over time. Such metrics should allow fo…

The paper conceptualizes this kind of network of practice as an information and communication technology (ICT) facilitated dynamic relationship of participants that …

Published version of a paper from the European Confernece on Information Systems. Also available from the publisher: http://aisel.aisnet.org/ecis2012/175 Social media has become a popular outlet for various eParticipation activities, such as online campaigning by political parties. However, research so far has shown that political parties often have limited success with their efforts. Much is yet unclear as to the results and possible applications of social media use. This paper contributes to clarify the underlying concepts of social media, by analysing the social media IT artefact as a socio-technical object. We propose and define an ensemble view on social media use in eParticipation, an…

Published version of a chapter published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 3183, 23-26. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-30078-6_4 Different initiatives are initiated to utilize ICT to maintain and develop democracy.
