title: Confronting Transnationalization: the Economic, Environmental and Political Strategies of the Central American Economic Groups, 2012.

description: Central America has traditionally been dominated by strong local economic actors - often economic groups with ownership interests in varoius sectors - in different alliances with states and transnational companies (TNCs). The opening and liberalization of the Central American economies (most recently through a free trade agreement with the United States and an association agreement with the European Union) has changed the political economy of the region signficantly. While it has engendered increased presence of foreign transnational companies it has also induced the Central American companies to internationalize themselves through a variety of strategies: by becoming regional rather than national companies, by entering into alliances with foreign TNCs and by searching for markets outside of the region. The choice of strategies has clear implications for the economic development of the region. The changing context also demands different environmental and political strategies of the same economic groups. This project has joined together a multi-disciplinary team with extensive experience from economic, environmental and political research in the region to study the strategies pursued by the Central American economic groups and their implications for the sustainable development of the region. It will have three components, each studying one aspect of the strategies of the groups through a combination of quantiative research and comparative case research. The main goal is not only to produce newknowledge about the actual strategies of the Central American economic groups and the implications of these, but also to understand the prospects for a sustainable development in the region and the conditions for development of local firms in developing countries in the context of a transnational economy.

title: Strategies of Symbolic Nation-Building in West Balkan States: Intents and Results, 2011.

description: Nation-building as defined in this project consists of two elements. 1. Deliberate homogenization of the population's political-cultural identity; and 2. Policies to link this identity to the state. The project concentrates on symbolic nation-building, meaning state strategies for the manufacture and manipulation of cultural symbols intended to create a sense of nationhood in a population. The aim is to see if these strategies resonate in the population. To determine the success and failure of the nation-building strategies the correspondence between the idea of nationhood that is propounded by the state leaders and the collective self-understanding of the population was measured. Albert Hirschman's trichotomy of "exit, voice and loyalty" was used as a template to operationalise this criterion. Furthermore, large-N opinion surveys were carried out in all West Balkan countries - 1500 respondents in each state - to establish to what degree various groups in the population support the nation idea propounded by the state leaders.

title: A Smile Is Not Enough, Part I: Developing an Intervention for Continuous Positive Feedback, 2013

description: We have limited evidence of quality work within kindergartens aiming to reduce sickness absence and increase individual and collective performances. In this study we develop an intervention with the overall aim of increasing employee coping, quality work, and reducing sickness absence in kindergartens. This is done by exploring kindergarten employee's understanding of quality work, what motivates them in their work, and, necessary feedback within the work environment for increased motivation. 

The starting point for our intervention is that employees in kindergartens experience a lack of positive feedback on their work effort. The kindergarten staff has a wide range of work tasks; direct children-orientated work, practical tasks, and parental follow up. Feedback on an individual's competence and competence development in providing quality care through these tasks is unsystematic. Feedback could be the smile from a child, the attention of the management, or feedback from a parent. We believe that this type of unsystematic feedback is not sufficient. 

We used the extended focus group methodology in the data collection with employees (Berg 2009). We also developed an interview guide with an additional pre-questionnaire. We sent an information letter, an informed consent form for potential interviewees and information regarding the research to each leader via e-mail. The kindergarten leaders selected participants for the interviews. Six to eight participants are appropriate for such interviews. Data were gathered from six participants in one kindergarten and from eight in each of the remaining three kindergartens (total n=30). Approximately a week before the interviews, the participants received the pre-questionnaire. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. In a second meeting with the interviewees, we introduced the analyses of the collected data to ensure that the intervention development built on valid information. Summaries of the dialogues with kindergarten leaders were transcribed and used as additional information in development of the intervention, as were PWC summaries.

title: Survey on Tobacco and Drug Use 2012

description: The Survey on Tobacco and Drug Use 2012 is conducted by Statistics Norway on behalf of the Norwegian Institute for Alcohol and Drug Research (SIRUS). The study examines self-perceived health and relationship with drugs such as tobacco, alcohol, prescription drugs and drugs among different population groups. The purpose of this study is to create a basis for measures and evaluation in the field of drugs. This is the first edition of this study, but Statistics Norway has conducted similar surveys in the past. The survey sample consists of individuals aged 16-79 years. A majority of respondents are however aged 16-30. This is corrected by weighting.

title: Working Environment 2010: Work-Related Destructive Behaviour

description: This dataset stems from the survey "Working Environment 2010: Work-Related Destructive Behaviour". The survey was conducted by Statistics Norway and commissioned by Bergen Bullying Research Group and 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 have been conducted three times over a period of six years - 2005-2010. First time the survey was conducted was in 2005, second time in 2007, and this dataset stems from 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.

title: Bruk av åpen kildekode-lisensiering til utforskning og utvikling av vaksine og medisin, 2013

description: This proposal will focus on the application of open source licensing to vaccine and drug discovery and development. Open source licensing, widely used within the computer software industry, allows an individual to share intellectual property rather than copyrighting or patenting it. The main goal of this research project is to explore, develop and evaluate an Open Source Drug Discovery (OSDD) business model in regards to vaccine and drug development that has the potential to substantially reduce the costs of vaccines/drugs. This research project will focus on five diseases: HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis and toxoplasmosis. These diseases were chosen because they include both Type II and Type III diseases which will allow for comparisons in the data gathering objectives. Additionally, they are typically regarded as neglected diseases. This is a multidisciplinary project, which will principally focus on the area of health economics, but will also take into account research performed in the fields of law (pertaining to intellectual property), bioinformatics, public health, business administration, philosophy and ethics. This proposal is in line with GLOBVAC's thematic guidelines since this research is aimed at providing improved access to vaccines for marginalized populations in low- and middle income countries. Research findings should stimulate technology transfer to low- and middle-income countries. With an open source license, any vaccine producer can manufacture the vaccine. Therefore, low-income countries could pool their resources and tender out the manufacture of a vaccine based upon price and quality. Developing nations' researchers can collaborate on vaccines to make the most of their research budgets. Open source could lead to cheaper, more accessible vaccines for the developing world.

title: Disabled Persons' Childhood and Level of Living, panel 1999, 2003 and 2006

description: This dataset is derived from the survey "Disabled Persons' Childhood and Level of Living", conducted by Jan Tøssebro, Hege Lundeby and Christian Wendelborg at NTNU. The background for the project is the political alterations of the services directed towards persons with strong physical or mental disabilities. Integration and normalization have been central political goals during the last decades. The objective has been to move away from a situation where disabled persons becomes segregated and marginalized in society. Since then, wide-ranging reforms have been implemented. Today's norm (also reflected in legislation) is that disabled persons should be able to live a life that is as normal as possible. Thus, it is exciting following the "post-integration generation", the children growing up after the integration and normalization period. 

The research project aimed to follow the same children throughout their childhood (panel survey). Therefore, three separate surveys are conducted: The first one in 1999, then follow-up surveys conducted in 2003 and 2006. This data contains all three surveys.
