Strategic Location of Heterogeneous Resources for the Fire and Rescue Service
Strategic Location of Heterogeneous Resources for the Fire and Rescue Service Emilie Krutnes Engen Jonas Gamme Nouri Industrial Economics and Technology Management Submission date: June 2016 Supervisor: Henrik Andersson, IØT Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management i Preface This master thesis has been prepared during the spring 2016 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management. The thesis studies emergency response planning (ERP) and unlike most of the existing liter- ature in operational research, it focuses on the fire and rescue service (FRS). Optimization methods are used to quantitatively evaluate FRS performance and demonstrate the appli- cability of a mathematical approach as a strategic and tactical decision support tool. The model developed in this master thesis has been applied to a real life fire and rescue situation in Oslo, through the assistance of the local FRS capacity, Oslo Brann- og Redningstjeneste (BRE). We thank our supervisor, Professor Henrik Andersson, for excellent guidance in all aspects of the project. Your assistance has been invaluable for the final result. We also extend our sincerest thanks to our co-supervisor, Associate Professor Tobias Andersson Granberg at LinköpingUniversity (LiU), for sharing his extensive expertise and experience in the field. Furthermore, we would like to thank the representatives from BRE, Fredrik Frøland, Viggo Stavnes, and Anne Kløw, for providing insight into the FRS. Their perspective have been crucial in giving applicability to the mathematical approach of the project. ii iii Abstract The fire and rescue service (FRS) in Norway is responsible for responding to a number of different emergency calls.

The West End's East
The West End’s East End Practices, relations and aspirations among youth in Hovseter and Røa Helle Dyrendahl Staven Master’s thesis, Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2020 © Helle Dyrendahl Staven 2020 The West End’s East End. Practices, relations and aspirations among youth in Hovseter and Røa. http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo II Abstract This aim of this thesis is to explore how youth life unfolds in Hovseter and Røa, two neighbouring areas characterised by social and spatial contrasts. Located in Oslo’s affluent West End, Hovseter stands out in this social and spatial landscape of detached and semi-detached houses and upper-middle-class ethnic majority residents due to its higher share of working-class and ethnic minority residents, tall apartment blocks, and social housing apartments. Policies on social mix in the Norwegian welfare state constitute the context for the thesis, in which policymakers aim to counter segregation and encourage social and cultural integration by promoting a diversity of social groups within neighbourhoods. Through the urban area programme Hovseterløftet, a youth club was initiated in order to promote social mixing and social bonds between working-class minority ethnic youths from Hovseter and upper-middle- class majority ethnic youths from Røa. This aim was in line with policies on social mix, in which policymakers assume that youth with less social and economic resources will benefit from creating social relationships with more resourceful peers. It was this particular context that motivated me to ask how social and spatial differences materialised in the daily lives of youths from Hovseter and Røa, how these differences influenced social interactions and relations, and lastly, how they affected the youths’ perceptions of school and their educational aspirations.

OPPLEVELSESKART GRORUD–ellingsrUD Alna, grønnstruktur, idrett og kulturmiljø 1 Spesielle natur- og kulturmiljøer ALNA, HØLALØKKA OG ALNAPARKEN Alna er en del av Alnavassdraget, som er 17 km langt og et av Oslos 10 vassdrag. Vassdraget er omkranset av frodig og rik vegetasjon, med gode leveområder for dyr, fugler og planter. Langs vassdraget har man funnet 10 patte- dyrarter, 57 fuglearter, 2 amfibiearter, 370 kar- planter og 400 sopparter. Alnas hovedkilde er Alnsjøen i Lillomarka. Hølaløkka ble opparbeidet i 2004 med gjenåpning av Alnaelva og en dam. Økologiske prinsipper er lagt til grunn for utforming av prosjektet med stedegne arter, oppbygning av kantsoner og rensing av overvann. Alnaparken ble etablert i 1998 og er utviklet med mange aktivitetsmuligheter.

Groruddammen ble anlagt i 1870-årene som en del av industrianlegget. Like ved demningen ligger en tidligere shoddyfabrikk som drev gjen- vinning av ullmateriale fra opprevne ullfiller. Fabrikkbygningen står fremdeles, men har fått et nyere tilbygg mot turveien. Groruddammen er i dag et viktig friluftsområde som skal oppgraderes gjennom Groruddalssatsingen. 2 GAMLE GRORUD Fra 1830–40 årene startet uttak av Nordmarkitten, best kjent som Grorudgranitt. Fra 1870-årene ble dette en vesentlig arbeidsplass i Groruddalen, og ga sammen med annen industrivirksomhet og nærheten til jernbanestasjonen, grunnlag for lokalsamfunnet Grorud.

Norway's Efforts to Electrify Transportation
Rolling the snowball: Norway’s efforts to electrify transportation Nathan Lemphers Environmental Governance Lab Working Paper 2019-2 Rolling the snowball: Norway’s efforts to electrify transportation EGL Working Paper 2019-2 September 2019 Nathan Lemphers, Research Associate Environmental Governance Lab Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy University of Toronto [email protected] Norway’s policies to encourage electric vehicle (EV) adoption have been highly successful. In 2017, 39 per cent of all new car sales in Norway were all-electric or hybrid, making it the world’s most advanced market for electric vehicles (IEA 2018). This high rate of EV ownership is the result of 30 years of EV policies, Norway’s particular political economy, and significant improvements in EV and battery technology. This paper argues that Norway’s sustained EV policy interventions are not only starting to decarbonize personal transportation but also spurring innovative electrification efforts in other sectors such as maritime transport and short- haul aviation. To explain this pattern of scaling, the paper employs Bernstein and Hoffmann’s (2018) framework on policy pathways towards decarbonization. It finds political causal mechanisms of capacity building and normalization helped create a welcoming domestic environment to realize early uptake and scaling of electric vehicles, and subsequently fostered secondary scaling in other modes of transportation. The initial scaling was facilitated by Norway’s unique political economy. Ironically, Norway’s climate leadership is, in part, because of its desire to sustain oil and gas development. This desire steered the emission mitigation focus towards sectors of the economy that are less contentious and lack opposing incumbents.

Arguments for Basic Income, Universal Pensions and Universal
Money for nothing? Arguments for basic income, universal pensions and universal child benefits in Norway Christian Petersen Master thesis Department of Comparative Politics University of Bergen June 2014 Abstract Basic income is a radical idea which has gained more attention in many countries in recent years, as traditional welfare states are having trouble solving the problems they were created to solve. Basic income promises to solve many of these problems in an effective and simple way. The purpose of this thesis is to study basic income in a way which can supplement the existing literature, and make it relevant in a Norwegian perspective. Hopefully this can contribute towards placing basic income on the political agenda and in the public debate. A large amount of literature is written on basic income, but by comparing the arguments used to promote a basic income with empirical data from previously implemented social policy in Norway, I hope to contribute towards an area which is not well covered. To do this I identify the arguments used to promote a basic income, and compare them to the arguments used to promote other universal social policy in Norway at the time they were introduced. The empirical cases of the universal child benefit and the universal old age pension in Norway has been chosen, because they resemble a basic income in many ways. The study is of a qualitative nature, and the method of document analysis is used to conduct the study. The data material for basic income is mainly scholarly literature. The data materials used for the analysis of the child benefit scheme and the old age pension are government documents, mainly preparatory work for new laws, legal propositions put forward in parliament, white papers, and transcripts of debates in parliament.

Power, Communication, and Politics in the Nordic Countries
POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES POWER, COMMUNICATION, POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES The Nordic countries are stable democracies with solid infrastructures for political dia- logue and negotiations. However, both the “Nordic model” and Nordic media systems are under pressure as the conditions for political communication change – not least due to weakened political parties and the widespread use of digital communication media. In this anthology, the similarities and differences in political communication across the Nordic countries are studied. Traditional corporatist mechanisms in the Nordic countries are increasingly challenged by professionals, such as lobbyists, a development that has consequences for the processes and forms of political communication. Populist polit- ical parties have increased their media presence and political influence, whereas the news media have lost readers, viewers, listeners, and advertisers. These developments influence societal power relations and restructure the ways in which political actors • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, & Lars Nord • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard communicate about political issues. This book is a key reference for all who are interested in current trends and develop- ments in the Nordic countries. The editors, Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, and Lars Nord, have published extensively on political communication, and the authors are all scholars based in the Nordic countries with specialist knowledge in their fields.
