This chapter defines and discusses important concepts like risk, uncertainty, vulnerability and interdependency. In the literature, these concepts are used in various ways and there exists no common accepted terminology. Therefore, these terms are defined to provide a basis for consistent use throughout...

Directorate of Public Construction and Property Management (Statsbygg) and the Directorate of Norwegian Correctional Service (Kriminalomsorgen) developing a functional standard for prisons, along with an accompanying module-based prison concept called the M2015. By standardizing and designing for modularization...

...disturbances in Norway, during continuous monitoring and due to customer complaints or requests, and the motivation for these. Further, recommendations from a recent consultancy study [2] regarding the level of monitoring for achieving reliable statistics, and on a reporting system for voltage disturbances...

...hearing loss live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and it is estimated that 34 million children have a hearing loss [1]. Furthermore, 60% of hearing loss in children is due to avoidable causes that can be prevented. The aim of this study is to explore the prevalence and cause of hearing loss...

...(MP) and nanoplastic (NP) environmental fate and hazard assessments utilise spherical, monodisperse polymer particles that do not represent the continuum of partially degraded, irregular-shaped MPs in the natural environment. A such, there is a strong need for environmentally relevant test and reference...

...growth. The combined problem of turbulence and cloud droplet growth is numerically challenging. Here an Eulerian scheme based on the Smoluchowski equation is compared with two Lagrangian superparticle (or superdroplet) schemes in the presence of condensation and collection. The growth processes are studied...
