This work presents the methodology for constructing a novel dataset of fact-checked news articles in Norwegian bokmål, a language with relatively limited publicly available resources for natural language processing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first dataset of its kind that combines...

In this letter, we present a novel dual-task, closed-loop, visual servoing-based active vision framework in an eye-in-hand configuration. The proposed active vision framework continuously drives the camera motion by coupling continuous Next-Best-View (NBV) planning and visual servo control within a...

In the past decade(s) there has been a lot of studies on how advanced control methodologies, such as model predictive control (MPC) and reinforcement learning (RL), can improve the performance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings. Most studies are based on...

Large-scale classification of social media content is a crucial technique for finding, studying, and analyzing misinformation in online social networks. Based on a manually labeled dataset of COVID-19 related conspiracy tweets, we train an NLP classifier and test methods for performing inference at...

This paper introduces a novel method for autonomous navigation of mobile robots, combining functional scene categorization with tailored navigation strategies. Scene categorization is a computer vision task that identifies environmental types in images. Our approach establishes a taxonomy for scene...

This study examines the current energy use across sectors and segments of the Norwegian onshore seafood industry, with a focus on farmed fish, as well as pelagic, shrimp and whitefish from capture fisheries. Data on specific energy consumption, production, and exports were collected from open...

The Norwegian food market is dominated by three major retail chains, which manage their own distribution systems with the support of one main third-party import provider. Although parts of goods are transported by train, the majority relies on trucks, posing significant challenges for sustainability...

Food, beverage and tobacco manufacturing accounted for 18 % of the sales value in the EU in 2023, higher than any other individual sector. Food cold chains are energy intensive and often use refrigerants with high global warming potential. Existing databases provide an overview of food-related...

The planetary boundary for novel entities (pollutants) has, according to the Stockholm Resilience Center, been transgressed because “the rate of chemical production and release into the environment far outpaces society’s capacity to assess and monitor their safety”, thus, putting the Earth’s system...

Aquaculture is often blamed for polluting the marine environment. The pollution may affect the fish in the pens but also the surrounding environment depending on water currents and sedimentation rates. This study has examined the fish feed, fish tissue (Norwegian quality cut) and faeces, as well as...

Chemotherapeutics, such as the chitin synthesis inhibitor teflubenzuron, are widely used in marine aquaculture to control parasitic salmon lice. However, these compounds may also harm non-target species like Calanus finmarchicus, a keystone copepod in Arctic and boreal ecosystems. With growing...

Digital pathology enables automatic analysis of histopathological sections using artificial intelligence. Automatic evaluation could improve diagnostic efficiency and find associations between morphological features and clinical outcome. For development of such prediction models in breast cancer...

Employees in fish farming have exposed work environments, and salmon farming is one of the most accident-prone industries in Norway. Currently, new production concepts are being introduced. Concepts for the seawater phase are becoming more diverse, expanding from mostly open netpens along the coast...

The regular discharge of produced water (PW) from offshore oil and gas industry installations on a global scale constitutes the largest direct and intentional release of industrial effluent containing oil components into the marine environment. In the present study, we have investigated the...

Magnitude of the slamming load impulse on a suction anchor affects the allowable wave conditions for launch and recovery operations. Experimental and numerical modelling were used to study the loads caused by waves on a suction anchor at several submergence levels. The presence of an air pocket...
