No full textElise Caspersen, Tale Ørving, Aud Tennøy, Capacity reduction on urban main roads: How truck drivers adapted, and what effects and consequences they experienced, Transport Policy, Volume 130, 2023, Pages 68-83, ISSN 0967-070X, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2022.10.016. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0967070X22003018)Urban freight transport is an important issue in sustainable mobility discussions. It constitutes a significant proportion of urban traffic, and expected negative impacts for urban freight transport can be arguments against implementing restrictive measures targeting passenger traffic. The scarcity of empirical studies might lead to over- or underestimation of consequences for urban freight transport. This might slow shifts towards more sustainable mobility or cause unintended negative consequences. A long-planned 14-month capacity reduction in a main road tunnel in Oslo, Norway, causing significantly increased congestion, offered an excellent opportunity to study urban freight transport adaptations, effects and consequences. With truck drivers and logistics professionals as key informants, the study amplifies voices not often heard in research. Truck drivers adapted by avoiding the tunnel during rush hours only to a limited degree, and less than general traffic did. They reported limited flexibility, as routes and trip timing are strongly defined by customer contracts. The wider consequences for drivers were more stress and less predictable workdays. The findings might improve understandings of how truck drivers can and do adapt, and what consequences they experience. This will help authorities and freight companies plan for changes in urban transport systems aimed at sustainable mobility.publishedVersio
Planlegging og etablering av et bylogistikkdepot for gods
No full textMålet med dette prosjektet har vært å evaluere prosessen med å etablere et bylogistikkdepot for omlasting av varer for sisteleddsdistribusjon (last-mile) i Oslo sentrum. I evalueringen legges det vekt på sentrale hendelser i planleggingen og samarbeid mellom de ulike aktørene og interessentene som har vært involvert i prosjektet. Målet med evalueringen er å gi et kunnskapsgrunnlag til andre private aktører eller kommuner som ønsker å etablere noe tilsvarende. Resultatene indikerer at det er fem suksesskriterier for en vellykket etablering; Tillitt mellom samarbeidspartnerne, ekspertkunnskap og engasjerte drivere i planleggings- og utformingsprosessen, støtte fra- og godt samarbeid med offentlig sektor, egnet og disponibel lokasjon for bylogistikkdepotet i bysentra og enkel og fleksibel utforming av bylogistikkdepotet.The aim of this project has been to evaluate the process of establishing a depot for transshipment of goods for lastmile distribution in downtown Oslo. In the evaluation, emphasis is placed on key events in the planning process and collaboration between the various actors and stakeholders who have been involved in the project. The goal of the evaluation is to provide a knowledge base for other private actors, cities or municipalities who wish to establish something similar. The results indicate that there are five criteria for a successful establishment; trust between the collaborators, expert knowledge and a dedicated driving force in the planning and design process, support from and good cooperation with the public sector, suitable and available location for the depot in the city center and simple and flexible design of the depot.Statens vegvese
We are mock'd with art: theatricalizing devices in performances of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2011This dissertation discusses the use of theatricalizing devices in four stage productions of William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. The selected performances were staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company (England, 1992), Théâtre de la Complicité (England, 1992), Folger Theatre (United States, 2009), and Companhia Atores de Laura (Brazil, 2004-2005). The discussion is structured following the notion of "performance text", proposed by Marco de Marinis (1993), which testifies to the importance of analyzing a performance in terms of its stage elements and also its contextual circumstances. Hence, the notion of "theatricalizing devices" is proposed in the present study as a tool to look at those devices employed on stage that can, simultaneously, comment on the theatrical medium and its conventions and help a production address themes and concerns related to the world outside the theater building. Additionally, the referred devices have to do with further fictionalizing the already fictional stage reality, without losing sight of the fact that those making and attending any given performance are inserted in an outside context.A presente tese discute o uso de recursos teatricalizantes em quatro produções teatrais de O Conto do Inverno, de William Shakespeare. As performances selecionadas foram produzidas pela Royal Shakespeare Company (Inglaterra, 1992), Théâtre de la Complicité (Inglaterra, 1992), Folger Theatre (Estados Unidos, 2009), e Companhia Atores de Laura (Brasil, 2004-2005). A discussão está estruturada seguindo a noção de "texto espetacular" proposta por Marco de Marinis (1993), a qual testemunha a favor da importância de se analisar uma performance em termos de seus elementos de palco e também de suas circunstâncias contextuais. Dessa forma, a noção de "recursos teatricalizantes" é proposta na presente tese como ferramenta para olhar aqueles recursos empregados no palco que podem, simultaneamente, comentar o meio teatral e suas convenções e ajudar uma produção a tratar temas e preocupações relacionados ao mundo existente para além do auditório do teatro. Além disso, os referidos recursos associam-se com ficcionalizar mais profundamente a realidade já fictícia do palco teatral, sem perder de vista o fato que os indivíduos que realizam e assistem a qualquer performance estão inseridos em um contexto exterior
Næringstrafikk og tilhørende utslipp og miljøkonsekvenser - Bergen, Stavanger og Trondheim
No full textDenne rapporten presenterer trafikkarbeid, utslipp og miljøkonsekvenser for næringstrafikk i Bergen, Stavanger og Trondheim. Arbeidet tar utgangspunkt i eksisterende samferdselsstatistikk fra SSB og utslippstall fra utslippskalkulatoren The Handbook Emission Factors for Road Transport (HBEFA). Ingen data er samlet inn i prosjektet. Vi finner at næringstrafikk er kilde til utslipp av rundt 76 000, 52 000 og 46 000 tonn CO2 og 260, 200 og 180 tonn NOx i hhv Bergen, Stavanger og Trondheim. Utslippsmengdene er tett knyttet til mengden næringstrafikk (målt i kjørte kilometer) og anvendte utslippsfaktorer fra HBEFA. Av den grunn bør tallene tolkes som en indikasjon på utslippsnivåer heller enn endelige verdier. Det er kun næringstrafikk innad i bykommunene og tilhørende utslipp og miljøkonsekvenser som har vært av interesse i dette arbeidet. Næringstrafikk utenfor de utvalgte bykommunene er ikke inkludert i beregningene, uavhengig av om det utføres med et kjøretøy som er registrert i kommunen. Rapporten er utført på oppdrag fra Vegdirektoratet i forbindelse med bystrategien som skal inngå i plangrunnlaget til Nasjonal Transportplan 2022-2033.This report presents environmental impacts from commercial traffic in three Norwegian cities; Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim. Existing transport statistics collected by Statistics Norway and emission factors from The Handbook Emission Factors for Road Transport (HBEFA) are used. No data is collected in the project. The analysis shows that commercial traffic contributes with approximately 76,000; 52,000; and 46,000 tons of CO2 and 260; 200; and 180 tons of NOx in Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim respectively. Emissions are closely linked to the amount of traffic (measured using number of vehicle kilometers) and the accuracy of the HBEFA figures. Hence, the numbers presented should be interpreted as an indication of emissions, rather than actual figures. In this research, only traffic within the urban areas is of interest. Commercial traffic outside the selected urban areas is not included, regardless of whether the traffic is carried out by a vehicle registered in the selected urban area or not. The report has been carried out on behalf of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.Statens vegvese
'A Tale of Two Slippers' : Uncanny parody, power and the performance of writing
No full textIn this combined critical and creative work, my experimental short story ‘A Tale of Two Slippers’ (in which a character escapes a text to kill her author) is framed through an introduction in which cultural studies theory and reflections on practice-led research provide insights into how parody and the performance of writing can work uncannily and generatively to resist the power relations embedded in conventions of genre and the author/text binary. The key focus is on parody, and its uncannily doubled discourse (Barfield and Tew, 2002), which combines with the added critical edge of metafiction and ontological/textual slippage, to explore the creative potential of Australian cultural engagement with hegemonic conventions of judgement and genre, and to consider the subversive edge that writing from the margins might bring to this endeavour
