title: Evaluation of an electronic calendar as helping aid for persons suffering from memory problems or cognitive impairment

description: The purpose of this study was to examine whether persons who are confused about day and date and frequently ask questions about it would benefit from using an electronic calendar that automatically changed to the correct day and date. 19 women and 2 men, age between 60 and 90 years took part in the study. All of them had to be reminded upon appointments, and half of them asked frequently which day it was. The calendar was placed in the user's home for 3 weeks. Registration of the extent of usefulness, usability and acceptability were addressed in a semi-structured interview at the end of the test period. 

The present evaluation is a part of the EU project "Technology, Ethics and Dementia" (TED) which is a so-called concerted action under the Biomedicine and Health programme. Project leader for TED was Richard Pieper, Dept. of Sociology, University of Barnberg, Germany.

title: Reducing evictions. Evaluation of a project in the municipality of Oslo

description: In the spring of 2004, Fami (Centre for studies of poverty, minimum security and social integration), which is a collaboration between Fafo and NOVA, won a tender, issued by the Norwegian Directorate for Health and Social Affairs, to evaluate the project "The collaboration project - fewer evictions". Axel West Pedersen from NOVA was the project leader for the evaluation.

The collaborative project that was evaluated aimed to reduce the number of petitions for eviction from housing and actual evictions in the three inner-east districts of Oslo (Gamle Oslo, Grünerløkka and Sagene). The project period was two years (2004 and 2005).

In the evaluation, FAMI was to study to what extent and in what way the Collaboration Project was able to achieve its objectives. Furthermore, the evaluation was to examine which characteristics of users, the project and its surroundings affected the project's ability to achieve its goals.
The evaluation consisted of a process evaluation and an impact evaluation. As a preparation for the impact evaluation, in 2004, register data was obtained from the enforcement officer in Oslo. The data was used to describe the composition of the caseload. In 2007, a new data set was obtained from the enforcement officer, which was used to identify any break in the time series of the caseload in the wake of the project.

The data set contains all petition cases with the enforcement officer in the period 1996-2004. A smaller number of variables are recorded for each case: Gender and age of the person the petition is directed at. District/social welfare office, the number of previous petitions and evictions, as well as the outcome of the case in question.

title: Neurological effect of mobile phone, 2005

description: Epidemiological studies have shown a statistical link between mobile phone use and the occurrence of various symptoms. Aside from the discomfort due to heating on and around the ear is the headache symptom most often associated with cell phone use in a Norwegian-Swedish study. Highlights: In this study we wanted to investigate whether the RF fields from GSM phones had significance for headache and other symptoms and blood pressure and pulse rate. We wanted to conduct an experiment with a high probability of revealing a correlation, if it exists. Subjects who regularly had experienced headaches or discomfort in the head in close connection with mobile phone use, but not responded to other electrical equipment, were invited to a laboratory test where they learned that they were subjected to "mobile phone radiation" and only those who had similar symptoms they usually had the use of mobile phones were included. A total of 17 people participated in repeated attempts. We conducted a total of 75 tests with radiofrequency fields and 75 without. Instead of using a phone directly, we headed the RF signal from the phone to antennas mounted close your ears to the test person. In this way we achieved to expose a relatively large at around ørtet to increase the chance that a potential sensitive organ would be affected. The experiment was conducted double blind and other matters that could affect the results was checked. Main findings: Tests in which subjects were not exposed to the radiofrequency fields resulted in stronger symptoms than tests with field, but the differences were not statistically significant. There was no significant difference between the two exposure conditions in terms of type hopdine, page or localization ringing headaches. Similarly, we found that subjects were not able to detect when they were exposed and not, and we also found no significant effect on blood pressure or pulse rate. Our result agrees with the results of other similar studies. It is possible that the expectation headache may explain why the subjects had symptoms too without being exposed. Such noceboeffekt is a well documented mechanism to induce symptoms similar to the placebo effect makes a fresher. We assume that noceboeffekten also to some extent explain the symptoms that some people experience when they use mobile phone in everyday life. NSD1261-1: D-form, diary. NSD1261-2: E-form.

title: Working Environment 2005: Work-Related Destructive Behaviour

description: This dataset stems from the survey "Working Environment 2005: Work-Related Destructive Behaviour". The survey was conducted by Statistics Norway and commissioned by Department of Sociopsychology at the University of Bergen. The purpose of the survey is to map out the extent of bullying and destructive behaviour in Norwegian work situations. The origin, cause and consequences of bullying are important issues that the survey seek to elucidate. That is done by examining Norwegian employees' perception of their work, their social working environment and the interaction with colleagues and leaders. The objective is to improve our understanding of the effect the working environment has on individuals' health, well-being and personality. The surveys also gives a measure of the extent of different types of destructive behaviour in Norwegian work places (sexual harassment, conflicts and destructiv leadership as well as bullying). Furthermore, the scope and consequences of whistle-blowing are touched upon.

The survey has panel characteristics and will be conducted three times over a period of six years - 2005-2010. First time the survey was conducted was in 2005 and the subsequent survey was conducted in 2007. There are plans to follow up with the third and final survey in 2010. The reason for following the same persons at three different points of time over a period of six years is to observe development over time regarding the above-mentioned research questions.
