Can Remote Virtual Simulation Improve Practice-Based Training? Presence and Performance in Incident Commander Education
Wijkmark, Cecilia Hammar; Heldal, Ilona; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)An incident commander (IC) is expected to take command in any incident to mitigate consequences for humans, property, and the environment. To prepare for this, practice-based training in realistic simulated situations is ... -
Emergence of and learning processes in a civic group resuming prescribed burning in Norway
Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Coastal Norwegian heathlands have been regularly managed by burning for about 5000 years. This practice, supporting sustainable herbivore production, did, however, seize in the 1950s and was virtually absent ... -
Experiencing Immersive VR Simulation for Firefighter Skills Training
Wijkmark, Cecilia Hammar; Heldal, Ilona; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Virtual Reality (VR) technology for training has gained interest in many domains, including firefighter education. However, there is hesitation to accept immersive VR technology, especially for skills training. This study ... -
Industrial Thermal Insulation Properties above Sintering Temperatures
Gunnarshaug, Amalie; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou; Log, Torgrim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Processing highly flammable products, the oil and gas (O&G) industry can experience major explosions and fires, which may expose pressurized equipment to high thermal loads. In 2020, oil fires occurred at two Norwegian O&G ... -
Influence of Acetone and Sodium Chloride Additives on Cooling Efficiency of Water Droplets Impinging onto Hot Metal Surfaces
Bjørge, Joachim Søreng; Bjørkheim, Svein Arne; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou; Log, Torgrim; Frette, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In the present work, the cooling efficiency of water droplets falling onto hot aluminum and stainless steel discs from heights of 12.5 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm and 100 cm, corresponding to speeds of 1.5 m/s, 2.2 m/s, 3.1 m/s and ... -
Introducing Virtual Reality for Firefighter Skills Training Opinions from Sweden and Brazil
Wijkmark, Cecilia Hammar; de França Bail, Rosangela; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou; Heldal, Ilona; Michaloski, Ariel Orlei; Aguiar, Eduardo Jose Slomp (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The emergence of immersive virtual reality (IVR) technologies has raised interest in the use of fire and rescue services (FRS) as a supplement to the established practice-based hot fire-live simulation (HF-LS) training. ... -
Modelling breakdown of industrial thermal insulation during fire exposure
Gunnarshaug, Amalie; Log, Torgrim; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou; Skjold, Trygve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The aging of many of the installations in the oil and gas industry may increase the likelihood of loss of containment of flammable substances, which could lead to major accidents. Flame temperatures in a typical hydrocarbon ... -
Reducing Wooden Structure and Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Disaster Risk through Dynamic Risk Assessment and Management
Log, Torgrim; Vandvik, Vigdis; Velle, Liv Guri; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In recent years, severe and deadly wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires have resulted in an increased focus on this particular risk to humans and property, especially in Canada, USA, Australia, and countries in the ... -
Remote Virtual Simulation for Incident Commanders — Cognitive Aspects
Wijkmark, Cecilia Hammar; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou; Heldal, Ilona (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, on-site Incident Commander (IC) practical training and examinations in Sweden were canceled as of March 2020. The graduation of one IC class was, however, conducted through Remote Virtual ... -
Study of Industrial Grade Thermal Insulation at Elevated Temperatures
Gunnarshaug, Amalie; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou; Log, Torgrim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Thermal insulation is used for preventing heat losses or heat gains in various applications. In industries that process combustible products, inorganic-materials-based thermal insulation may, if proven sufficiently heat ... -
Virtually Fenced Goats for Grazing Fire Prone Juniper in Coastal Norway Wildland–Urban Interface
Log, Torgrim; Gjedrem, Anna Marie; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)For millennia, the coastal heathlands of Western Europe were managed by regular burning cycles for improved grazing. In recent decades, this practice has generally been neglected. In Norway, the result is accumulation of ... -
Wildland-urban interface fires in Norwegian coastal heathlands – Identifying risk reducing measures
Gjedrem, Anna Marie; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)For five millennia, the coastal heathlands in Norway were managed with fire to improve grazing. The abandonment of this practice for the last ca. 70 years has resulted in biomass accumulation and increasing fire hazards. ...
