title: Local Culture for Understanding Mathematics and Science (LOCUMS), 2015

description: Groups of students are marginalised in western school systems because they see school as part of a culture distanced from their own life outside school, which in turn decreases school motivation and learning outcomes. The present project aimed to increase the quality of science and mathematics education for students in Norwegian lower secondary schools, by developing a practical approach to teaching and learning that links local cultures to science and math education. They aimed to evolve student projects that link inspiring practical work to students lived experiences and local cultures. These activities was then be used to contextualise mathematics and science learning. Based on these student projects the project aimed to develop a model for culturally responsive science teaching. The knowledge developed can be transferred to other school subjects and to any group of students. The project addressed the following research question: Can culturally responsive science and mathematics educations improve teaching and enhance learning?

The student projects will be developed in local schools in Finnmark with reference to indigenous culture in the area, and in parts of Oslo greatly influenced by various immigrant cultures. 

The study combines and draw on different sources of data, observation and video filming in the classrooms and in the field, as well as interviews of students, teachers and school leaders. Student video blogs and communication on social platforms are also included in the data.

title: Are Genetic Risk Scores for Arthritis and Cardiovascular Events Predictive in Arthritis Patients on a Population Level? 2019

description: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are chronic inflammatory joint diseases posing a significant burden to patients, their families, and society. They are caused by an interaction between a strong genetic predisposition and environmental factors. RA patients also have increased mortality rates and higher risk of cardiovascular disease, including myocardial infarctions and strokes. The objectives of the project are to test whether risk scores based on published genetic risk variants may predict the risk of RA or AS, if genetic risk scores for RA and for cardiovascular events may predict the risk of mortality or myocardial infarctions in RA patients, and if prediction is improved when adding non-genetic variables. The project uses data from the population-based Nord-Trøndelag Health Study performed in 1995-7 and 2006-8, including questionnaire data on health and lifestyle, data from a clinical examination, and blood samples. Using hospital files, diagnoses were ascertained in 545 RA cases and 190 AS cases. Control data are available from approximately 36,000 individuals. Genotyping of a large number of genetic variants has been done, and linkages have been performed to the National Causes of Death Registry and the Myocardial Infarction Registry of Middle Norway. The main challenge is whether genotypes for all the previously published genetic variations will be available. The findings from the project will increase our understanding of how important the published genetic risk variants are relative to non-genetic risk factors in a general population, how important the contribution from disease-specific risk genes are to the overall risk of cardiovascular events in RA patients, and whether genetic risk factors for cardiovascular events identified in the general population have the same effects in RA patients. Improved predictive risk scores may also permit identification and preventive measures in individuals at high risk of disease development.

title: CSES - Comparative Study of Electoral Systems - Module 5, 2017

description: The CSES survey is an international survey, where the participating countries include a module with questions in their respective post-election surveys. Usually, the CSES module has been an integral part of the parliament election survey, but for the sake of the length of the questionnaire, CSES was taken out of the module 5 questions and conducted as a separate survey in 2017. Module 5 (2016-2021) focuses on the citizens' perceptions of political elites and out-groups, and the implications for electoral democracy.

title: Rental market survey, 2019

description: Every year, Statistics Norway conducts the Rental Market Survey to compile statistics on rental rates for different types of housing in different parts of the country. The survey is called Housing and Living Conditions (BOB) when we contact tenants. The name Housing and Living Conditions is used to simplify communication about the survey as tenants are to report on their own housing and not on the rental market in general. The population of the BOB is all rental housing settled by private households in Norway. The drawing framework is created from the registers we have available in Statistics Norway. The 2019 selection was established by subtracting 37,000 addresses from the established draw frame of estimated rental housing. Selection unit is the address of the assumed rental home, and the answering unit is the person residing at the address. BOB is conducted as a pure web survey. The survey was conducted in 2019 over three weeks, starting October 1st.

title: Drug Use Survey, 2018

description: In 2018, Statistics Norway conducted the seventh round of the annual survey on drug use. The purpose is to map the use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs in different groups of the population. The survey will help form the basis for measures and evaluation of drugs in the field of intoxicants. This year, the study was funded by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH). The formerly Norwegian Institute for Alcohol and Drug Research (SIRUS) started the survey in 2012. SIRUS is now part of NIPH and has taken responsibility for the study there. Since 2016, FHI has been working with Statistics Norway on the survey. The survey is made up of modules with questions. A fixed set of questions map the use of various drugs and tobacco. In addition, there is a group of questions that are asked every three years. In 2018, there was a module with questions about attitudes to tobacco, alcohol, and drug policy. Interview time varies by age and consumption. For example, questions about the use of all narcotic drugs and performance-enhancing drugs are asked only to persons aged 16 to 64 years.

title: The Relative Role of Climate and Herbivory in Driving Treeline Dynamics along a Latitudinal Gradient, 2020

description: "The Relative Role of Climate and Herbivory in Driving Treeline Dynamics along a Latitudinal Gradient, 2020" is based on 2 projects: "Effects of changing climate on the alpine tree line and mountain forest carbon pools along 1500 km n-s and elevation gradients "TREELINE"" and "Changing forest area and forest productivity - climatic and human causes, effects, monitoring options, and climate mitigation potential "FORESTPOTENTIAL"". Global studies show a trend of expanding forests into the boreal-alpine ecotone, which are important in Norway. Climate predictions for Norway indicate future changes with a potential for rapid growth in existing forests and dispersion to areas without tree growth. In order to preserve the bio-diversity and fulfill international obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emission, it is important to understand the changes in the boreal-alpine zone will influence the vegetation and potential for carbon sequestration. Grazing has historically been an important factor that has influenced the boreal-alpine ecotones. One of the main goals of FORESTPOTENTIAL was to analyse how the forest in areas near alpine zones can change in the near future. In order to run analyses connected to this, in 2018 and in 36 unique locations, data was collected concerning the establishment, growth, and mortality of pioneer trees in the ecotone between forests and mountains along an 1100 km latitude gradient. At the same time, data on the vegetation on the same localities was collected, and by using a drone, pictures were taken and spectral information registered. The same locations were also previously measured (in 2008 and 2012), funded by the NFR through a research project within the NORKLIMA-programme. In the previous measurements, data were also collected with airborne advanced remote sensing as an uninterrupted transect from the southernmost to the northernmost site - a total of 1,500 km by airline. The data set therefore provides a unique opportunity to follow the dynamics of the tree line over time. Related to each site, we also have information on pasture pressure for a period of more than 50 years, as well as historical climate data over the same period. Based on this, we will also be able to distinguish the contributions of anthropogenic and climatic factors on the tree line dynamic.

title: Level of Living Survey EU-SILC 2013 Theme: 'Sports and Cultural Activities', Children Selection

description: Statistics Norway has conducted living conditions surveys since 1973, and since 1996 surveys have been conducted annually. In 2011, the National Living Conditions Survey was coordinated with the EU-designated Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC). Living conditions survey EU-SILC covers a wide area of living conditions annually, and in addition comes thematic areas for the living conditions survey, which rotates with a three-year cycle. During a three-year cycle, the living conditions components illuminate finances, living conditions, leisure activities, social networks, vulnerability and unrest for offenses, health, care, education and working conditions. Theme for the EU-SILC Living Conditions Survey in 2013 was sports and cultural activities. In this study, one looks at a childre's selection. The data that is collected is supplemented with information from the register: Before the interview, it is linked to information about who resides in the household, residence and place of work. The information is checked during the interview. Information from the previous interview is also retrieved for those who have participated in the survey earlier. In retrospect, it connects to information about income, education etc.

title: Power From the People? Driving Forces and Hindrances, 2017

description: The project «Power From the People? Driving Forces and Hindrances» investigated what experiences people have with electricity on their own roof, what motivates people to choose solar cells, and what barriers people have to start their own electricity generation. They also looked at which other players they must relate to and what policies are needed to get more people on solar power. The main goal of the project was to understand the driving forces and barriers for households to become Plus customers (producing electricity from solar cells in their own homes). The study was used for research and investigation purposes.

title: Gender Equality, Peace and Security in Nepal and Myanmar (WOMENsPEACE), 2016

description: This project examined the gender dimension in the process of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of guerrillas in Nepal, and in the gender dimension of the peace process in Myanmar. In addition, the project focused on the consequences of these processes for equality between women and men in the aftermath of conflict, the social inclusion of women and men, and on women's rights. There have been many theoretical studies of the gender dimension in demobilization and reintegration processes, and of the gender dimension in peace processes, but so far there are few case studies. This project is important - not only because it provides new case studies - but because these studies are taken from two different types of conflicts, the main ideological conflict in Nepal and ethnic conflicts in Myanmar.

The project was a collaboration between PRIO and the partner institutions Nepal Center for Contemporary Research (NCCR) and Ar Yone Oo (AYO) in Myanmar.

title: Transcribed interviews in work-package 3, in Biosmart

description: As a tool to understand bioeconomical change in Norway BioSmart will use a transition theoretical framwork, that looks at what can bring changes in the bioeconomy. This contributes to a number of general principals, patterns and processes, which are transferable across different areas, sectors and disciplines. As mentioned there exists a number of common concepts across transition theory, such as path-dependece, lock-in/synchronization effects, system memory, etc. (Lackman, 2013). The transition approach enables a mapping and understanding of complex interactions between technological systems and society, and to identify how to address lock-in effects in all forms (structural, economical, socio-psychological - Wilson, 2013). The results from this work-package deals with "Transitions in bioeconomical value chains". Output from this work-packagge is casestudies. This registration is interviews in relation to the casestudy about the development of salmon feed.

These interviews formed one of the data sources for the public available article: The Weak Sustainability of the Salmon Feed Transition in Norway – A Bioeconomic Case Study, accessible here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmars.2019.00764/full The dataalso contributed also to the book chapter: Forbord, M. og Hansen, L.
