title: Work Orientations, Norwegian part of ISSP, 2015

description: This survey is carried out on the basis of the research collaboration in "The International Social Survey Programme" (ISSP). ISSP is an international organisation that prepares and coordinates annual surveys in its member countries, mainly within the fields of political science and sociology. The topic of the surveys varies, but are repeated at intervals of a few years. In this way, changes in behavioral patterns and attitudes over time as well as differences between countries and cultures, are possible to be detected and measured. NSD – Norwegian Centre for Research Data became a member of ISSP in 1989 and have since been responsible for carrying out the surveys in Norway. In connection with the survey, researchers are invited to add supplementary questions to the Norwegian respondents. In 2015 the objective was to collect data on working conditions and experiences. NSD and ISSP conducted similar surveys in 1989, 1997 and 2005. Data are freely available for downloading for researchers and students at universities and colleges.

title: Immigration and Mobility in Mediaeval and Post-Mediaeval Norway, 2016

description: The aim of this project was to, through a multidisciplinary approach, to try to develop a better understanding of the population in mediaeval and post-mediaeval Norway with regard to its composition and the influence of immigration. The research drew on information from archaeological, osteological, molecular and historical sources. The material on which this study was based was the human skeletal material from four different graveyards. Both oxygen isotope and DNA analyses was used to identify immigrants in the population and to try and determine the geographic and genetic origin of these individuals. The information from the molecular analyses was complimented by information from the anthropological examination of the human remains as well as historical sources to develop a detailed picture of the population. Questions that were investigated were: How was the composition of the population? How large part of the population were immigrants? Where did they come from? What was the nature of the immigration? Was the immigrant population biased towards one sex or a particular age group? Did children or the elderly migrate? How were immigrants treated and what place did they take in society?

title: Urbanizing India: Urbanization, Exclusion and Climate Challenges, 2016

description: India will face three related social challenges in the coming decades: Managing an inclusive and peaceful transition from rural to urban society, ensuring sustained social and economic inclusion and tackling environmental change. While often conceived of as disparate, urbanization processes are embedded in complex and interacting ethnic, religious and political contexts that shape India's inclusiveness, security, and prosperity. Environmentally induced rural resource scarcity may be driving migration to cities; new groups in densely populated urban settlements may exacerbate social tensions; and the areas most vulnerable to the effects of climate change are often informal urban and peri-urban areas. The questions were answered from a multi-disciplinary perspective using mixed methodologies, drawing upon previous project team expertise in both quantitative and qualitative research projects in India. Three separate research packages explored: (1) Urban Expansion (2) Exclusion and Inequality (3) Environmental Change.

The data are includes surveydata and replication data files for:
Wischnath, Gerdis and Halvard Buhaug. 2014. Rice or riots: On food production and conflict severity across India.

title: Development of Biodegradable Nanobeads As Vaccines Against Tuberculosis, 2016

description: One third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) and two million die annually of tuberculosis (TB). The standard therapy, using antibiotics, is increasingly ineffective due to multi-drug resistance. The only available, 80 year-old vaccine using M.bovis BCG has little therapeutic value, and no other vaccines have reached the market, despite enormous efforts. This project proposed to develop technology to encapsulate whole mycobacteria inside biodegradable nano/microbeads to facilitate delivery of intact live or killed bacteria to vertebrate antigen-presenting cells (APC) to initiate the immune response. 

The Oslo nano-bead group of Nystrom investigated different polymer materials that could encapsulate live and killed myco bacteria, focusing on the fish TB bacterium M.marinum, BCG and the mouse/human pathogen M.avium and Mycobacterium w, a promising antituberculous vaccine candidate. The Oslo cell microbiology group of Griffiths has established a system using GFP-M.marinum lethal infection of transparent zebrafish. After first experiments with BCG- and M.avium-beads in macrophages in vitro we searched for the most effective GFPbacteria-enclosing beads that when injected or fed to zebrafish crosses mucosal barriers and induces protection against subsequent infection with M.marinum. This rapid fish screening system would narrow down the promising polymer candidates/conditions for testing beads enclosing M.avium, Mw and later virulent M.tb, for their vaccine potential in mice and guinea pigs against subsequent challenge with these pathogens by Verma and Khuller in India. Different oral, intranasal and subcutaneous vaccination routes were planned to be tested. A crucial advantage of nanobeads over freely-administered immunogens is their established ability to cross mucosal barriers intact. This strategy ensures that the first location where mycobacteria become exposed to antigen digestion/ presentation systems is in the phago-lysosomes of APC's.

title: Candidate Survey 2016 – From Studies to Employment in the Bergen Area

description: The "Candidate Survey - From Studies to Employment in the Bergen Area" was carried out by ideas2evidence on behalf of SiB Councelling. The survey aims to map out the candidates' experience of the job search process, the current situation on the labor market and education relevant to the job situation. The target group includes graduates with a bachelor- and master degree, general teacher training programme (four years undergraduate programme), primary teacher training programme and vocational education degree.

SIB Counselling have, since 2003, conducted the "Candidate Survey - From Studies to Employment in the Bergen Area" directed towards graduates from the University of Bergen, the Bergen University College and the Norwegian School of Economics. The survey was conducted every other year until 2011. The survey is sent to the graduates around two years after their final examinations. With that, this local survey differs from the national graduate survey, conducted by NIFU, which is sent to the graduates six months after their final examinations. The Candidate Survey 2016 finds that the majority of the graduates from the educational institutions in Bergen are well adapted to the labour market. Nevertheless, compared to 2011, unemployment have increased, less graduates get relevant work and its more common to have to send a high number of job applications in order to get a job.

Certain values have been removed from the county variable in order to avoid indirect identification. This might lead to small differences between the results from the report published by ideas2evidence and the eventual analyses based on this dataset.

title: Keeping Patients out of Hospital by Improving Patient Trajectories in Primary Care - Methodological Development and Effect, 2014

description: The background for "Keeping Patients out of Hospital by Improving Patient Trajectories in Primary Care - Methodological Development and Effect, 2014" was that data gathered in different registers and journal systems create opportunities for studying patients trajectories. If these data are connected and can be linked to different measures of effect and quality, it would be possible to identify which trajectories that are the most advantageous both from a patient and a system point of view.  
The purpose of the project was therefore to 1) develop tools to gather and 2) create patient trajectories between different types of services, 3) identify variables that reflect quality from a patient perspective and 4) examine the connection between quality experienced by the patient and different patient trajectories. 
A register-based longitudinal cohort study with data regarding contact made with somatic health services over a two-year period for 170 000 persons, where a random selection of these consisting of 12 500 with chronic diagnosis were invited to answer question regarding health, function and experienced quality in health services four months after.

title: Nation-building, Nationalism and the New 'Other' in Today's Russia (NEORUSS), 2016

description: In “Nation-building, Nationalism and the New 'Other' in Today's Russia (NEORUSS), 2016” the aim was to analyze the new preconditions for nation-building in Russia and the formulation of policies on the 'national question'. Four issues were targeted: 

1) Changes in the state's policies and political signals. We examined statements by Medvedev and Putin, as well as by leading members of Duma parties and Kremlin policy advisers. In particular, we analyzed the relative strength of state-oriented and ethnicity-oriented vectors in the nationality concept. As a target topic we chose to focus on federal migration policies. To what degree do the state authorities explain to the public that the immigration is an indispensable necessity in the Russian economy? 

2) The nationality issue in the opposition. What alternative does the anti-system opposition represent when it comes to the formulation of a national idea? Is there a tug of war going on in this movement between liberals and nationalists? Most Western researchers have tended to focus on the extreme right. While this should not be ignored, we believed it was equally important to study attitudes among the pro-Western liberals. Have the liberals formulated their own national idea? 

3) The role of the media. Media, and in Russian TV in particular, are crucial in forming popular opinion on sensitive issues. We singled out three major TV channels and how they are covering issues of ethnic and national cohesion, for special examination. In addition we examined a selection of mainstream newspapers, highbrow elite publications, and popular internet sites. 

4) Changes in the public mood. Researchers disagree about the strength of support for xenophobic nationalism in Russia and more research is needed in the form of large-scale surveys. This is particularly important in the situation of the recent renewed popular mobilization against the regime. We conducted a survey with 4,500 respondents using the same polling institute as we used in another NRC funded research project ten years ago.

title: The Integration Barometer, 2013/2014

description: "The Integration Barometer, 2013/2014" dealt with attitudes towards immigration and integration, as well as with experiences regarding among others, discrimination. The survey was carried out in a sample of immigrants, over the age of 16 who had lived in Norway for at least three years, from ten different countries, a sample of Norwegian born children with parents from the same countries and a sample of the whole population. The integration barometer has been carried out regularly since 2005. This was the first time the survey was conducted in own immigration samples.
