The thesis uses the Industrial Network Approach to avoid bringing in typical views of what a port is and hence to allow for alternative views and ideas about the port as an actor. Four case studies are used to assess and discuss how port authorities can be considered actors in industrial networks through the use of the Actor- Resource-Activity model. The Industrial Network Approach is empirical in nature, which facilitates the consideration of port authorities as actors in industrial contexts via assessing actual interactions. The first three cases are from the Norwegian ports of Karmsund, Aalesund and Grenland. The three examples combined suggest there are three overlapping dimensions through which port authorities can be characterized in industrial settings: the administrative, political and commercial dimensions respectively. Each of the three Norwegian cases emphasizes one of these dimensions. The fourth case, the Swedish Port of Gothenburg, complements the others by providing an example of the three dimensions operating simultaneously. The thesis argues that there is no automatic link between these dimensions and stating that a port authority is an actor in relation to companies in the industrial context of a port, however. This requires actual interaction between organisations to take place. Interaction is described in terms of the efforts of a port authority to engage with particular industrial counterparts in order to pool activities, combine resources and mobilise actors around utilisation of resources for the purpose of loading and unloading vessels in each particular port. This is referred to as bundling and wedging in the thesis. Overall, the main findings of the thesis are that (i) the industrial network Actor- Resource-Activity model can be used to investigate non-business actors in industrial settings and (ii) it is problematic for a port authority to as a non- business actor to actively intervene in an industrial context without creating wedges to interaction that leads to discrimination across users. 3 Acknowledgements Whereas the responsibility for the contents of this dissertation is mine, it would not have reached a final without the direct and indirect support of many to whom I can only offer my humblest and deepest felt gratitude.

This introduced population was found to be infected with the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci, the causative agent of crayfish plague. The Dammane watershed consists of 5 small ponds, the largest with a surface area of approximately 2000 m2. The Norwegian National Veterinary Institute conducted a feasibility study for the eradication of the Dammane signal crayfish population at the request of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority and Directorate for Nature Management. This study recommended the use of the pharmaceutical BETAMAX VET.®, followed by pond drainage as a feasible course of action. BETAMAX VET.® is a cypermethrin-based pharmaceutical developed for treatment of salmon louse (Lepeophtherius salmonis) infestations of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid and a common agent in many insecticides licensed throughout Europe.

  • Western Karmøy, an Integral Part of the Precambrian Basement of South Norway
    WESTERN KARMØY, AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PRECAMBRIAN BASEMENT OF SOUTH NORWAY TOR BIRKELAND Birkeland, T.: Western Karmøy, an integral part of the Precambrian basement of south Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 55, pp. 213-241. Oslo 1975. Geologically, the western side of Karmøy differs greatly from the eastern one, but has until recently been considered to be contemporaneous with the latter, i.e. of Caledonian age and origin. The rocks of western Karmøy often have a distinctly granitoid appearance, but both field geological studies and labora­ tory work indicate that most of them are in fact metamorphosed arenaceous rudites which have been subjected to strong regional metamorphism under PT conditions that correspond to the upper stability field of the amphibolite facies, whereas the Cambro-Ordovician rocks of the Haugesund-Bokn area to the east have been metamorphosed under the physical conditions of the green­ schist facies. From the general impression of lithology, structure, and meta­ morphic grade, the author advances the hypothesis that the rocks of western Karmøy should be related to a Precambrian event rather than to rock-forming processes that took place during the Caledonian orogeny. T. Birkeland, Liang 6, Auklend, 4000 Stavanger, Norway. Previous investigations The first detailed description of the rocks of western Karmøy was given by Reusch in his pioneer work from 1888. Discussing the mode of development of these rocks, he seems to have inclined to the opinion that the so-called 'quartz augen gneiss' and the other closely related rocks represent regionally metamorphosed clastic sediments. Additional information of the rocks con­ cerned is found in his paper from 1913.

  • 27 Aristocratic Presence Along the Karmsund Strait 2000 BC–AD 1368
    Dagfinn Skre 27 Aristocratic Presence along the Karmsund Strait 2000 BC–AD 1368 Pursuing the ARM research strategy (Ch. 4), this chapter summarises, analyses, and contextual- ises the evidence on aristocratic presence at Avaldsnes and along the Karmsund Strait presented in previous chapters in this book. In SP I (2000–350 BC) aristocratic presence was introduced and long-distance overseas connections to southern Scandinavia were established. In SP II (350 BC–AD 200) these connec- tions were maintained, warrior burials were introduced, and agrarian production increased, probably leading to population increase. In SP III (AD 200–600) major changes occurred. Princely graves were entombed in the ancient Flaghaug mound, a prominent stone monu- ment was raised, a monumental hall building, a boathouse, and a longhouse were erected; most of these buildings and monuments are without parallel in western Scandinavia, while the stone monument and one of the graves are unique in the whole of Scandinavia. The evi- dence for aristocratic presence is strong in SP III’s first two centuries, somewhat weaker in its latter two centuries. Features are few from SP IV (AD 600–900), the most substantial of which are remains of a palisade, which indicates external threats and hostilities as well as local mil- itary capabilities. Near Avaldsnes, the Salhus mound from early SP IV and the Grønhaug and Storhaug shipgraves from late SP IV provide evidence for aristocratic presence in this period. In early SP V (AD 900–1250) food-processing activities in the farmyard increase, and around the turn of the millennium a building appears to have been raised on the location where the hall building stood in SP III.

Innledning Industrien i Grenland har helt siden tidlig på 1970 tallet da de første konsesjonene/tillatelsene ble gitt, vært opptatt av og har arbeidet målbevisst for å redusere utslipp til luft og vann. Det har vært et nært og konstruktivt samarbeid med myndighetene lokalt, regionalt og nasjonalt og det er oppnådd betydelige miljøforbedringer i Grenland. Det gode samarbeidet med myndighetene ønsker vi å videreføre for å utvikle Industrien i Grenland med etablering av nye arbeidsplasser. Green Industry Cluster (GIC) er en industriklynge for landbasert og offshore industri i regionen med mål om økt vekst og verdiskaping i industrien. Dette krever et godt samarbeid med myndigheter og forvaltere av rammevilkår med konsekvenser for næringsvirksomhet. Vi ønsker å gi en samlet tilbakemelding til fylkeskommunen. Utkast til Forvaltningsplan Utkast til Forvaltningsplanen henviser til § 12 i Vannforskriften som har som hovedregel at det IKKE skal gis tillatelse til ny aktivitet eller nye inngrep som kan medføre at miljømålene IKKE nås eller at miljøtilstanden forringes. Det synes å være urimelig og direkte negativt for videre industriutvikling i Grenland hvis dette skal forstås slik at det ikke vil bli gitt nye eller økte utslippstillatelser generelt.

    Prosjekt «Ren Frierfjord» og tilgrensende vassdrag Forslag til vedtak: 1. Kommunene i Grenlandsrådet slutter seg til beskrivelsen knyttet til forurensningssituasjonen i Frierfjorden og tilgrensende vassdrag i saksframstillingen, og vil jobbe for å forbedre miljøtilstanden. 2. Kommunene i Grenland ønsker å bidra til en klar forbedring av forurensningssituasjonen i Frierfjorden og tilgrensende vassdrag, gjennom å starte et forprosjekt med mål om å: a. Kartlegge kunnskapsgrunnlaget b. Kartlegge tilgrensede problemstillinger som rensekrav til avløp c. Kartlegge interessenter og samarbeidspartnere lokalt, regionalt og statlig d. Utforme en konkret søknad/innspill til statsbudsjettet for å finansiere et prosjekt som skal gjennomføre konkrete tiltak for å forbedre miljøtilstanden i Frierfjorden og tilgrensende vassdrag 3. Sekretariatet kommer tilbake til Grenlandsrådet med ny sak i løpet av 1. halvår 2021 som konkretiserer et slikt forprosjekt. Bakgrunn: Bamble kommune har fremmet forslag til områdereguleringsplan for industriarealer og ny havnekapasitet på Frier Vest. Fylkesmannen har gått til innsigelse med hjemmel i vannforskriften (Forskrift om rammer for vannforvaltningen) § 12. Bakgrunnen er særlig bekymring for oppvirvling av gamle, forurensede bunnsedimenter ved oppankring på Frierflaket. Bamble kommune er enig at det er utfordringer med forurensede masser i sedimentene i vannområdet og forurensningssituasjonen generelt, men mener at tiltak for å møte dette ikke kan legges på en enkelt reguleringsplan. Bamble kommune har neppe hjemmel etter plan- og bygningsloven til å pålegge bestemmelser (forbud mot oppankring) i en annen kommune og i myndighetsområdet for Kystverket (farleder og oppankringsplasser). Det er grunn til å tro at flere nye tiltak i vannområdet også i andre kommuner som grenser til vannområdet kan utløse innsigelse fra Fylkesmannen om ikke forurensningssituasjonen adresseres av kommunene i Grenland.

  • 2 Intraregional Diversity. Approaching Changes in Political Topographies in South-Western Norway Through Burials with Brooches, AD 200–1000
    Mari Arentz Østmo 2 Intraregional Diversity. Approaching Changes in Political Topographies in South-western Norway through Burials with Brooches, AD 200–1000 This chapter addresses socio-political structure and change through the examination of spatial and temporal differences in the deposition of brooches in burial contexts and aspects of burial practices. Diachronic sub-regions within Rogaland and parts of southern Hordaland are inferred, enabling a further address of the trajectories within sub-regions and how they interrelate in ongo- ing socio-political processes. The paradox of observed concurrent processes of homogenisation and upsurges of local or regional particularities is addressed through the theoretical framework of globalisation. Within the study area, the sub-regions of Jæren and the Outer coast/Karmsund appear most defined throughout the period AD 200–1000. Here, quite different trajectories are observed, indicating a parallel development of different practices and sub-regional identities. 2.1 Introduction Throughout the Iron Age, dress accessories included brooches, clasps, and pins that held garments together while simultaneously adding decorative and communi- cative elements to the dress. While the functional aspects of brooches are persis- tent, their form and ornamentation vary greatly within the first millennium AD; the typologies of brooches thus constitute a major contribution to the development of Iron Age chronology (Klæsøe 1999:89; Kristoffersen 2000:67; Lillehammer 1996; Røstad 2016a). As such, the brooches deposited in burials provide an exceptional opportunity to address both spatial and temporal variations in burial practices, and furthermore in the social groups that performed those rituals. Regionality, defined as the spatial dimension of cultural differences (Gammeltoft and Sindbæk 2008:7), is here approached on a microscale, focusing on intra-regional diversity in the selective and context-specific use of a particular part of material cul- ture, namely the brooches.
