Screening of Polyfluorinated Organic Compounds at Four Fire Training Facilities in Norway (TA- 2444/2008) SCREENING OF POLYFLUORINATED ORGANIC 2444 COMPOUNDS AT FOUR FIRE TRAINING FACILITIES IN NORWAY 2008 Screening of polyfluorinated organic compounds at four fire training facilities in Norway (TA- 2444/2008) Forord I 2007 ble det i Norge innført forbud mot bruk av PFOS i brannskum, tekstiler og impregnering. SFT har fått undersøkt jordsmonnet rundt fire brannøvingsfelt som et ledd i å fremskaffe et bedre kunnskapsgrunnlag om mulige miljøkonsekvenser som følge av bruk av PFOS og andre perfluorerte forbindelser. Hensikten med denne undersøkelsen har vært å få kartlagt om PFOS-holdig brannslukkingsskum som er anvendt frem til 2007 fortsatt er i nærområdet rundt brannøvingsfeltene. Undersøkelsen belyser også hvilke negative miljøkonsekvenser gjenværende rester kan ha. Rapporten vil danne et grunnlag for vurdere hvorvidt andre brannøvingsfelter bør undersøkes nærmere med hensyn på perfluorerte forbindelser, samt å vurdere mulige tiltak mot fremtidig forurensning. Bioforsk, med prosjektleder Carl Einar Amundsen, har utført undersøkelsen på vegne av SFT. NIVA har vært underleverandør på de marine undersøkelsene, og NILU har utført de kjemiske analysene.

  • Policing Global Hubs – a Study of the Norwegian Airport and Maritime Port Security Environments
    Policing global hubs – A study of the Norwegian airport and maritime port security environments Martin Nøkleberg Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law University of Oslo January 2021 © Martin Nøkleberg, 2021 Series of dissertations submitted to the Faculty of Law, University of Oslo No. 168 ISSN 1890-2375 All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted, in any form or by any means, without permission. Cover: Hanne Baadsgaard Utigard. Print production: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo. Summary The topic of this dissertation is the policing of global hubs, and it is particularly concerned with the security governance arrangements found at Norwegian airports and maritime ports. Employing a mixed-method design, the dissertation draws on extensive empirically grounded research from case studies of Oslo airport, the port of Stavanger and the port of Kristiansand, which are three important hubs in the Norwegian infrastructure for facilitating flows of people and things. This dissertation sets out to explore collaborative and network structures among policing agencies as a way to approach complex matters relating to security, and the organizations’ experience of security projects in their everyday life, with particular emphasis on their perceptions of different mentalities, logics and interests and efforts to reconcile them. By combining perspectives on collaboration, experiences of security practices and guiding mentalities, this study seeks to contribute by providing new empirical and conceptual insights into plural policing and security governance from the Nordic context. More importantly, the dissertation aims to develop and advance our thinking on the policing of global hubs – which are distinct and unique institutional environments that have yet to receive proper criminological attention.

  • Asian Breeze (33)
    Asian Breeze (33) （亜細亜の風） A Happy Spring to you all 4 April, 2014 Dear Coordinators and Facilitators in the Asia/Pacific region. A long waited Spring has finally come to Tokyo with a full bloom of “Sakura” or Cherry trees. Since this winter was very cold with a lot of snow, the bloom of Sakura was especially waited impatiently. April is a start of everything in Japan such as the entrance of schools, entrance to companies and governments and a new fiscal year. Sakura seems to be blessing this new start as if Spring refreshes everything. Following illustration is a typical image of the entrance of elementary school with the Sakura bloom. One point lesson for Japanese; 「入学式」in this illustration means the entrance ceremony at school. In this issue, we have received a wonderful contribution from Norway featuring the Airport Coordination Norway (ACN) and four level 3 airport of Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL), Stavanger Airport, Sola (SVG), Bergen Airport, Flesland (BGO) and Trondheim Airport, Værnes (TRD), and one level 2 airport of Kirkenes Airport, Høybuktmoen (KKN). I hope you will enjoy reading them. Airport Coordination Norway (ACN) Airport Coordination Norway AS is a registered limited company under Norwegian private law. Airport Coordination Norway Ltd is a non-profit company in charge of slot allocation for Oslo-Gardermoen, Stavanger, Trondheim, Bergen airports, Trondheim Airport, and schedule facilitation for Kirkenes airport. Members The stocks are owned 50% by coordinated airports and 50% by Norwegian licensed scheduled air carriers. The Board has representatives from airport operators Avinor and Oslo Airport, as well as the airlines SAS and Norwegian Air Shuttle.

D; Indra Alverdian, Msi The Arctic, situated in the northernmost area on Earth, has become increasingly attractive for many nations to claim their rights to territorial sovereignty over some portions of the region. The early exploration was began since the first decades of the 20th century merely to have scientific, geopolitical, and even commercial purposes with the pursuit of national interests. Being aware of the fact that climate change is happening in the Arctic has made most of the ice melted that it resulted to give several access to bigger continents, abundant resources and path to the other Arctic nations, have created uncertainty and possible tensions in the region. Norway, as one of the Arctic nations, is impacted by this uncertainty of global security environment in the Arctic and the state can’t deny but to feel the massive increase military pressure and political activity in the Arctic region. Among all of the Arctic nations, Norway is one of the Arctic nations that value deeper international cooperation and believe in using military as the last resort.
