New insights into submarine tailing disposal for a reduced environmental footprint: Lessons learnt from Norwegian fjords
2021
Submarine tailing disposal (STD) in fjords from land-based mines is common practice in Norway and takes place in other regions worldwide. We synthesize the results of a multidisciplinary programme on environmental impacts of STDs in Norwegian fjords, providing new knowledge that can be applied to assess and mitigate impact of tailing disposal globally, both for submarine and deep-sea activities. Detailed geological seafloor mapping provided data on natural sedimentation to monitor depositional processes on the seafloor. Modelling and analytical techniques were used to assess the behaviour of tailing particles and process-chemicals in the environment, providing novel tools for monitoring. To…
ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT REDUCTION FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT BY MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION AND MODELLING
2020
The current challenge faced by researchers and managers is minimize the environmental footprint of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). To accomplish this goal, other than respect legal requirements, WWTPs must provide better responses regarding consumption of energy and resources, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, among others. The research hereby presented is based on the application of mathematical modelling with the aim to propose a framework for the minimization of WWTP’s environmental footprint towards optimization techniques. A literature review was held to gain knowledge regarding the main decision support systems (DSS) that are applied to WWTPs since they allow selecting the most app…
"Ikke alle piloter flyr" : implementering av telemedisin i norske kommuner
2019
Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Running pilots is a widespread way of conducting innovations in the Norwegian health service, many of these projects are not implemented permanently or lead to lasting changes in services. Solutions based on Telemedicine are being tested, but the implementation rate does not match the existing ambitions. The aim of this study is to gain increased knowledge of some of the factors that are required for pilot projects in Telemedicine to go from pilots to permanent solutions, especially focused on stakeholders and their role. The thesis question is «What is the significance of different stakeholders in the municipalit…
Proračunski postupak za ocjenu potresne otpornosti konstrukcijskog sustava okvir-ziđe uzimajući u obzir veličinu, vrstu i razmještaj otvora
2019
Konstrukcijski sustavi okvir-ziđe jedni su od najčešćih vrsta građevnih konstrukcija. Iako se ispunsko ziđe u kojem se ne nalaze otvori pri provjeri potresne otpornosti pouzdano predočava tlačnim štapovima, način uzimanja u obzir veličine, vrste i razmještaja otvora u ziđu nije u potpunosti razjašnjen. Nekolicina razvijenih proračunskih postupaka u kojima se razmatra ovaj problem su, ili proračunski vrlo zahtjevni, ili su nepouzdani, jer pokazuju prevelika odstupanja u rezultatima proračuna. Razvijeni proračunski postupak također se temelji postupku zamjenjujućih tlačnih štapova, ali se ziđe u kojem se nalaze otvori raščlanjuje na dovoljan broj dijelova kako bi se izdvojio otvor. Proračunsk…

The legacy of human use in Amazonian palm communities along environmental and accessibility gradients
2023
Aim: Palms are iconic and dominant elements of neotropical forests. In the Amazon region, palms have been used and managed by humans for food, material, medicine and other purposes for millennia. It is, however, debated to what extent the structure of modern palm communities reflects long-term human modification. Here, we investigate the complex interplay of ecological and societal factors that influence the distributions of both human-used and non-used palms in western Amazonia. Location: Amazonia. Time period: Present. Major taxa studied: Palms (Arecaceae). Methods: We used Bayesian hierarchical joint species distribution models to predict the distributions and environmental niche dimensi…
