Explaining the Cooperative Nature of Norwegian-Russian Petroleum Relations in the High North: A Game Theoretical Analysis
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)In this thesis, I consider the following research question: Why have Norwegian-Russian petroleum relations in the High North remained cooperative? Petroleum cooperation between these two states in the High North has not ... -
Explaining the intention of dental health personnel to report suspected child maltreatment using a reasoned action approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-22)Background: This study provides an empirical test of the reasoned action approach (RAA) socio-cognitive theory with the aim of 1) predicting the intention of public dental health personnel (PDHP) to report suspected ... -
Explaining topic prevalence in answers to open-ended survey questions about climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Citizens’ opinions are crucial for action on climate change, but are, owing to the complexity of the issue, diverse and potentially unformed1. We contribute to the understanding of public views on climate change and to ... -
Explaining variation in indigenous mobilisation - A comparative study of the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Andes
(Master thesis, 2001)This thesis seeks to answer the question of why ethnic identity has served as a basis for mobilisation among the indigenous peoples of the Ecuadorian highlands, but not among the indigenous peoples of highland Peru. Ecuador ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-29)The aim of this article is to examine the explanatory forces of power resources and institutional factors on whistle blowing activity, its effectiveness and reactions. The authors analyse survey material of 6000 Norwegian ... -
Explanations in Music Recommender Systems in a Mobile Setting
(Master thesis, 2020-09-18)Every day, millions of users utilize their mobile phones to access music streaming services such as Spotify. However, these `black boxes’ seldom provide adequate explanations for their music recommendations. A systematic ... -
Explanatory models and help-seeking for symptoms of PTSD and depression among Syrian refugees
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objective This study investigates how Syrian refugees explain and prefer to seek help for symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Methods We conducted five semi-structured focus group interviews ... -
Explanatory models of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression among Afghan refugees in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-04)Background: The current situation in Afghanistan makes it likely that we are facing a new wave of Afghan refugees, warranting more knowledge about how to deal with mental health problems among them. This study aims to gain ... -
An explicit IMF By dependence on solar wind ‐ magnetosphere coupling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Presently, all empirical coupling functions quantifying the solar wind—magnetosphere energy—or magnetic flux conversion assume that the coupling is independent of the sign of the dawn-dusk component (B𝑦) of the Interplanetary ... -
Explicit tracking of CO2-flow at the core scale using micro-Positron Emission Tomography (μPET)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Safe subsurface sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is becoming increasingly important to meet climate goals and curb atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The world-wide CO2 storage capacity in carbonate formations is ... -
Explicit volume-preserving splitting methods for divergence-free ODEs by tensor-product basis decompositions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-23)We discuss the construction of volume-preserving splitting methods based on a tensor product of single-variable basis functions. The vector field is decomposed as the sum of elementary divergence-free vector fields (EDFVFs), ... -
