title: Granted Disability Pension Under Appeal or New Application - Reasons and Justifications, 1994

description: The background for "Granted Disability Pension Under Appeal or New Application - Reasons and Justifications, 1994” was the rising rejection rate in disability pension cases from 1989 to 1993. Yet, a large proportion was retired due to disability, after initial rejection of their application. The project objective was to shed light on the reasons why a significant percentage of the people who had their applications for disability pensions rejected, nevertheless granted disability pensions later on. What percentage of the grants was due to reversal on appeal and what percentage was due to a new application? What were the reasons for reversing the previous decision of rejection? Another important issue is what happened in the period between rejection and grant of a disability pension. In addition, it was also interesting to elucidate the role of the most important processors in the process between refusal and grants for a disability pension. In the project, interviews were conducted with social security officials and doctors. In addition studies of initial refusal cases by document studies were carried out. In the following data set, the data from these document studies are presented.

Experiments on mice have shown that a "killed" vaccine against influenza may give rise to strong immunity having been given as nose drops. Our findings in humans confirmed the earlier findings performed on mice. There was no effect in humans of so-called "adjuvants" or enhancers which are commonly used in vaccines.

title: Utvikling av realkompetanse. En studie av betydningen av sosiale relasjoner og jobbegenskaper for uformell læring, 2000

description: The research project focused on informal learning by taking the two most different types of work relevant competence : general competence, which is the easiest transferable between tasks , and job -specific skills that are specifically targeted at a particular job in a particular business. However, we have limited empirical knowledge of the meta- competencies that are important and the factors that contribute to informal learning of these two types of expertise . Project was therefore aimed at specifying and operationalize these types of skills , identify social and job -related factors that can be expected to promote or inhibit the development of these types of skills and test putative relationships empirically. Any differences and similarities in the way the two types of skills developed on, thus providing a good understanding of informal learning processes. Such knowledge can help businesses to design organizations and workplaces with good learning conditions . Such knowledge can also help individual employees to seek learning contexts that contribute to the development of an appropriate skills profile .

title: Capital income and income distribution

description: "If the tax system treats the individual components of income differently, the overall taxation will not only depend on the size of the income, but also on the composition of the income".
The project takes this issue as its starting point, with the main emphasis on the treatment of different capital income components. 
Special topics for the analysis are: 1) The distribution of total income before and after tax. 2) The importance of the composition of income for the distributional effect of taxes. 3) Distribution of the different forms of capital income among subgroups in the sample.

The file consists of selected variables from the income survey 1988 (tax return information and linked data from the tax equalization register and the National Insurance Agency). These data are linked to certain variables from the 1987 living conditions survey (market values for housing and cottages).

Data has been collected by Statistics Norway and the data material includes 9,336 people.

The file is anonymised by replacing the personal identification number with an observation number. (order no.).

title: Clinical social workers in child and adolescent mental health care. Professional development and clinical praxis, 2007

description: This thesis aims to clarify how social workers in interdisciplinary teams in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) have formed their professional roles. These roles are often undefined, and this can be why social workers are loosing positions. The questions asked in this thesis are: Which connections can be found between how social workers practice in mental health services for children and adolescents and the theories and values that social work traditionally are based on. To put it more precisely: 1) How can social work in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services be conceptualised? In addition 2) What do social workers as a group in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services have in common? 3) Is it possible to find any connection between social work theory and its practice? To answer these questions quantitative research methods were used. A survey investigation that included all social workers in CAMHS in Norway did get carry out. The survey is based on the DPPCQ, which is a questionnaire used in several countries in research concerning therapists development. Some questions got added because they are specifically aimed at clinical practice in social work, which are based on social works theories an values.

title: Cognitive and affective attitudes toward genetic testing for different types of hereditary, 2004

description: The purpose of this study is to predict various groups willingness to undergo a genetic test for various disease scenarios (hypothetical and actual) using a theoretical model: Theory of Planned Behavior. Factors that will be examined include: underlying cognitive and affective attitudes related to the characteristics of the disease, such as mortality and penetrance; characteristics of the participant such as age, education, general knowledge of the subject, personal experience with severe or hereditary illness and personality traits such as tolerance for uncertainty. This survey show that the majority of the participants would like to be informed of their relatives if they should test positive for a genetic test. Only a minority of participants want the doctor breaking confidentiality and informing them against their relatives will. The desire to be informed about the occurrence of hereditary diseases in the family is not affected by the disease penetrance or mortality, but rather by tolerance for uncertainty and general knowledge of the subject.

title: Establishment of teleradiology institute in Alta municipality - financial consequences

description: This project has had the following problem statement: Can the introduction of teleradiology in the municipal health service lead to reduced costs for society? By using teleradiology, patients can in many cases avoid traveling to hospital for an X-ray examination. The X-rays can be taken locally, digitized and transferred to a hospital for examination via normal telephone lines. The research sheds light on whether capital- and operating costs linked to such activities are offset by reduced costs for travel and lost production.

title: Collaboration, services and competence of consideration related to spesial educational network in Northern Norway

description: The project has a background in the change that has taken place from a special school to a competence centre. In order to work in a special education network, the competence center needs to know what others think of them. Before the competence center knows what collaboration partners think about collaboration and services, as well as investigative expertise, they know little about whether the service they provide has real user value. The purpose of the project is to find out how the competence centre's partners (in this case teachers) assess the collaboration and the services the competence center has provided. In addition, the investigative expertise in various parts of the expertise network was evaluated. The project deals with teachers in various primary schools in Finnmark county, who in one way or another are connected to special education, and during the period 1994-1996 had dealings with the competence centre.
