title: Low Salinity Water Flooding of North Sea Reservoirs: Physical and Chemical effects, 2013

description: The data in “Low salinity water flooding of North Sea reservoirs: Physical and chemical effects, 2013” were gathered by carrying out experiments by using a routine/1D-model of low salinity floods at a laboratory scale. The purpose of this was to establish descriptions of the main mechanisms in low salinity water flooding and to study the effects of adsorption and desorption of polar oil components, and ion-exchange (minerals and reservoir rock) on zeta potential and contact angle. A function describing the effect of salinity reduction on the flow saturation functions were included in the model. The model was validated by comparing the modelling results with core flooding experiments. Specially designed experiments were important in validation of the model. The chemical modelling included: Incorporation of surface chemistry in the existing chemical modelling software EQAlt (Cathles 2006), prediction of surface potential as a function of the aqueous chemistry, pressure and temperature, inclusion of oil rock interactions in the chemical model, guided by experiments performed and prediction of water flooding behaviour by the chemical model. In a larger scale the project enabled a simple extension to a water flood simulator to be used to translate laboratory results into field scale estimates of low salinity water flooding processes. Potential at larger scale will be evaluated using real or realistic sandstone reservoir models. A tool/best practice suitable for evaluation of potential for sandstone reservoirs was established.

title: Transitions from Hospital Care to Long-Term Primary Health Care: Patient Flow, User Perspectives and Inter-Agency Barriers, 2014

description: After a period with extensive organizational change within both primary and specialty health care there is a growing concern about the relationship between the two, especially regarding inter-agency cooperation. Earlier studies have shown that geriatric and psychiatric patients are a main challenge to coordination processes between the two main levels of health care in Norway. 

The central research questions are: 
PATIENT FLOW. What is the incidence of transitions from all kinds of acute hospitals to long-term primary health care in the municipalities? How can variations between municipalities in these indicators be explained? 
USER PERSPECTIVES: How do patients 80+ and their caregivers experi ence and evaluate the transition process between the two levels of care? Can characteristics of hospitals or municipalities explain variations in these typees of user perspectives?
INTER-AGENCY BARRIERS: Focusing on patients 80+ discharged from hospitals to long-term care: what factors form major obstacles to user participation, communication between the two service levels, and to transfer in due time from hospital to long-term primary health care?

title: Data for: Tracking quantum coherence in polariton condensates with time-resolved tomography

description: Data for publication C. Lüders, M. Pukrop, F. Barkhausen, E. Rozas, C. Schneider, S. Höfling, J. Sperling, S. Schumacher, and M. Aßmann, Tracking quantum coherence in polariton condensates with time-resolved tomography, submitted. arXiv preprint arXiv:2209.07129 (2022) Long-term quantum coherence constitutes one of the main challenges when engineering quantum devices. However, easily accessible means to quantify complex decoherence mechanisms are not readily available, nor are sufficiently stable systems. We harness novel phase-space methods - expressed through non-Gaussian convolutions of highly singular Glauber-Sudarshan quasiprobabilities - to dynamically monitor quantum coherence in polariton condensates with significantly enhanced coherence times. Via intensity- and time-resolved reconstructions of such phase-space functions from homodyne detection data, we probe the systems's resourcefulness for quantum information processing up to the nanosecond regime. Our experimental findings are confirmed through numerical simulations for which we develop an approach that renders established algorithms compatible with our methodology. In contrast to commonly applied phase-space functions, our distributions can be directly sampled from measured data, including uncertainties, and yield a simple operational measure of quantum coherence via the distribution's variance in phase. Therefore, we present a broadly applicable framework and a platform to explore time-dependent quantum phenomena and resources.

title: Alcohol Problems and Depression: A 15-year Longitudinal, Nationwide Study of Mental Health among Norwegian Doctors, 2014

description: «Alcohol Problems and Depression: A 15-year Longitudinal, Nationwide Study of Mental Health among Norwegian Doctors, 2014” is a sub study of a longitudinal research project that follows physicians and medical students living conditions over time; NORDOC (The Longitudinal Study of Norwegian Medical Students and Doctors). This project includes NORDOC 6 (2014), and the data set NORDOC 1-6 connected two cohorts (the student cohort and the young physician cohort) that altogether encompass about 1000 doctors. 

Alcohol problems and depressions are common illnesses in the general population, but there are lacking longitudinal studies that can identify risk factors. The interplay between genes and social environmental factors like stress is somewhat studied, but far from clarified mapped out. Doctors have a relatively high incidence of depressive symptoms and is a relatively homogenous group when it comes to work related stress, which makes them suitable for these kinds of studies. 

NORDOC is a unique sample of Norwegian doctors (N=1052) that have been followed up 5 times since 1993/1994. The 20-year follow up survey was in 2013/14. Self-reported alcohol problems and depression in addition to work-related stress and stress related to living conditions were measured by a questionnaire. A gene sample (saliva) was collected among those who allowed it. Advanced statistics were employed in order to study the psychosocial risk factors over time and their interplay with genetics. In addition to produce new knowledge concerning genetics-social environment interactions, the study aimed to identify psychosocial risk factors, and to lead to better prevention and treatment. New data will be collected in 2019 in a 7th and last wave.

title: The Health Effects of a Diet Rich in Plant-based Foods and Fish. Focus on Nordic Foods, 2015

description: In this project the associations between dietary factors and indicators of cardiovascular disease risk were investigated. The health effects of single foods as well as whole diets were investigated in human intervention trials. The project was a collaboration with National Public Health Institute in Finland. Initial collaboration between the research groups has been ongoing since 2005. The project is a randomized controlled study over 15 years. The population-based study investigated men and women who participated in the Health 2000 Survey (substudy for cardiovascular disease and diabetes). Associations was explored between a diet rich in plant-based foods and fish, different nutritional biomarkers, and indicators of cardiovascular disease risk. The modifying effects of selected genetic polymorphisms, as well as differences between genders, are studied. Furthermore, a Healthy Nordic Eating Index was constructed and tested, several biomarkers were measured, and three dietary intervention trials were performed. In one trial, the effects of berry and fish consumption were investigated. In another trial, the effects of a diet containing whole grain, fruits, vegetables and coffee, was explored. Whether synergistic effects are observed by the addition of fish and rapeseed oil to such a diet was also studied. During the interventions, blood pressure was measured and blood samples collected for the analysis of various biomarkers, as well as whole genome DNA microarrays. The aim was to identify the factors responsible for the health effects of diets rich in plant-based foods and long chain fatty acids.

title: Medication Assisted Rehabilitation and Crime, How Do MMT Affect Crime Rates and Patterns? 2014

description: This project linked data from a patient database for persons in the MMT-treatment in Norway in the period 1997-2003 and criminal record data (convictions). The aim of the study was to investigate crime among MMT patients and how treatment affected the incidence of and patterns of crime.
The projects aims was to investigate the relationship between MMT and crime reduction in Norway based on a multidisciplinary approach. The project was designed to accommodate a cross-registry examination. The overall aim was to acquire a better understanding of changes in crime patterns for patients on MMT still being criminally active, as well as examine the rate of crime reduction for patients entering MMT in Norway.

title: The Law and Economics of Relational Contracts, 2013

description: The economy is full of relational contracts, norms and codes of conduct that affect behavior of individuals within firms and business dealing between firms. Most contractual relationships are both formal and relational: The parties know that they have a legally binding (formal) contract that governs the basic parts of their exchange, but they also know that many of the expectations and promises that are made during their ongoing contractual relationship cannot be enforced by a court of law, and thus need to be based on trust. The aim of the research project “The Law and Economics of Relational Contracts” was to analyze how the interaction between formal contracts, legal institutions and relational contracts affect i) incentives within and between firms and ii) the boundaries and scope of firms. More broadly, the provision and/or effect of incentives in situations where legal institutions are imperfect and/or humans are motivated by more than money were analyzed. Theoretical models were developed and controlled laboratory experiments conducted. The project includes two subprojects: "Repeated money game" (project 1) and “The prisoners dilemma with an infinite horizon” (project 2).

title: EWS Launching and Consolidating a Nordic Research Agenda: Interdisciplinary, Empirical Research on Experiential Literary Reading, 2015

description: A crucial part of basic reading skills is so-called deep reading, i.e., continuous reading of long linear texts such as novels. Empirical research shows that literary deep reading in particular, by virtue of its appeal to first-person experience, yields unique cognitive and emotional benefits (enhancing or refining the capacity for sympathy and empathy, social inference, emotional self-regulation, verbal abilities and intelligence). The current decline in literary reading, combined with (possibly enhanced by) the systematic downplaying of experiential reading at all levels of literary education, form the background for this study. The project "EWS Launching and Consolidating a Nordic Research Agenda: Interdisciplinary, Empirical Research on Experiential Literary Reading, 2015" investigates literary reading and the consequences of specific reading strategies for education and, by extension, mental health. Leading international scholars contributed to launching an innovative, interdisciplinary Nordic research community. A first study was conducted in several Nordic countries simultaneously, and contrasted experiential literary reading against the more analytical approaches to literature typical for institutionalized literary instruction. High-quality inter-Nordic data on the nature of literary reading in educational settings was produced.

title: Mapping of Internationalization in Primary School, 2014

description: "Mapping of Internationalization in Primary School, 2014" is the third out of three surveys on internationalization in primary and secondary education, completed by SIU. The main objective of the surveys was to get more knowledge about how internationalization is understood and practiced in the school sector. While the two first surveys dealt with the strategies and work with internationalization in secondary schools, municipalities and counties, this survey focused on internationalization in Norwegian primary schools. The survey gives insight in how work with internationalization is organized, in addition to motivations and barriers to incorporate an international perspective with regard to overall plans and in the education itself. The dataset and the SIU report 02/2015 presents Norwegian primary schools experiences with internationalization and international cooperation. The dataset is based on a questionnaire addressed to school managements at Norwegian primary schools on how internationalization as a political priority are included in plans and teaching. This dataset can be seen in the context of the dataset: "Mapping of Internationalization in Secondary Education, 2011". The primary schools that have chosen to work with international cooperation, emphasize that it is resource-demanding but that it provides great benefit for both teachers and students. This corresponds with the findings in Mapping of Internationalization in Secondary Education. Internationalization work is far more anchored in school owners and school managments in secondary education, than in primary schools. School owners in primary schools have less strategies and plans for internationalization work, and schools' participation in international cooperation programs are therefore lower. The survey shows that important factors to participate in international cooperation programs are involvement of the school management, previous practice and historical collaboration. Challenges for participation is often about economy, unsatifactory collaboration with school owner and time pressure. Data about school name, organization number, district and municipality have been removed from the original dataset in accordance with the information in the questionnaire/survey. Data are freely available for downloading.

title: Biological Significance of the Histone Variant H3.3, 2015

description: In the eukaryotic cell nucleus, the genome is organized into chromatin domains with different physical, biochemical and functional properties influencing gene expression and developmental decisions. These domains can be distinguished by their enrichment in combinations of post translational modified histones and in variants of canonical histones. While the distribution and significance of epigenetic histone modifications have been extensively examined since the discovery of the histone code 10 years ago, little is known on the significance of histone variants. Nonetheless, a recent burst of publications reflects strong interest in elucidating the role of these variants. Among these, the H3 variant H3.3 incorporates into primarily (but not solely) transcriptionally active chromatin in a replication independent manner. The mode of insertion of H3.3 into chromatin, its positioning in the genome and its requirement for vertebrate development remain elusive. We have recently reported the epigenetic environment of H3.3 in human promoters and have gathered preliminary data on its deposition pathway. Here, we combine expertise in mesenchymal stem cell biology, imaging, epigenetics and cell differentiation together with state-of-the-art high-throughput sequencing and mass spectrometry technologies, to address the biological meaning of insertion of H3.3 in the genome in a cell differentiation context. Our goal is to characterize in detail the molecular mechanism of incorporation of H3.3 into chromatin and get a hint at its function in cellular differentiation. OBJECTIVE 1 aims to provide full genome coverage of H3.3 enrichment sites, in human primary progenitor cells and differentiated cells. OBJECTIVE 2 aims to elucidate the mechanistic details of H3.3 incorporation into chromatin, by characterizing H3.3 'transit sites' which we have recently evidenced. This project is a part of the FRIMEDBIO-program.

title: Implementation of a Commercial Medical Detector for Synchrotron Based Total Scattering Experiments, 2015

description: Total scattering methods can give access to the pair distribution function, which gives detailed information about local disorder and nanostructures. The aim of this project was to develop necessary tools for the implementation of a new detector at the total scattering setup at SNBL. This was done in close collaboration with the team at the Swiss-Norwegian Beamline SNBL at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The ambition was to facilitate total scattering methods for the Norwegian materials science community. The techniques were tested on thermoelectric materials, where disorder and nanosized features play a crucial role. Since such methods have been of very little use in the thermoelectric society, it can be expected that new and important insight will be obtained. The project includes three datasets:
- ID22 ESRF: Synchrotron radiation for high-resolution diffraction
- ISIS: Neutron dispersion on ISIS Neutron Source
- SNBL: Synchrotron radiation for total dispersion and high resolution diffraction, European Synchotron Radiation Facility
