title: The Directorate Survey 2016

description: In 2016, an electronic questionnaire was sent out to case officers and managers with at least one year's service in the ministry and directorate and other central administration on features of working methods, personnel and decision processes. The study is a continuation of similar surveys in 1976, 1986, 1996 and 2006. Principal investigators are Professor Per Lægreid, University of Bergen and Rokkan Centre, professors Tom Christensen and Morten Egeberg, University of Oslo, and Professor Jarle Trondal, University of Agder. All the researchers have been central as project staff and principal investigatorss in the previous central administration surveys.

About the Directorate Survey
Case managers and managers with at least one year's service time in directorates and other central administration outside the ministries were sent a questionnaire dealing with features of working methods, personnel and decision-making processes. The survey was conducted as a web-based survey.
Important features of the respondents were that they:
- is employed by a directorate or other body in the central administration outside the ministries
- has at least one year of service
- is at case officer or chief level

The form was sent to every third employee who was part of the population. Based on submitted lists and available sources, an attempt was made to find as accurate a survey population as possible. However, if people did not meet the above requirements, they were asked to return the e-mail with a brief reference to why they should not attend so that they could be deleted from the population and any reminders.

title: Level of Living Survey EU-SILC, 2018

description: Statistics Norway has carried out living conditions surveys since 1973, and from 1996 surveys have been carried out annually. In 2011, the national living conditions survey was coordinated with the EU-regulated Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) survey. The EU-SILC Level of living survey annually covers a broad living area, and in addition comes topics for the living conditions survey, which rotates with a cycle of three years. During a three-year cycle, the topics of economy, housing, leisure activities, social networking, vulnerability and turmoil for offenses, health, care, education and working conditions are highlighted. The theme of the Living Conditions Survey EU-SILC was in 2018 housing conditions and vulnerability and turmoil for offenses.

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: Multiplying Munch: New Digital Practices at the Munch Museum, 2019

description: The following project aims to uncover, describe and analyze museum practice of visual copying in art museums. The thesis's overall research question is: what kind of ontology does digital copies of museum objects have? What is the motive behind digital copies, and how are these created? Looking at digitization as a copying practice is a new point of view in relation to today's approaches to digitizing the museum's collections. The thesis therefore demonstrates that digital age is not just about the distribution of images in museums, but also about the spread of different types of actors involved in image creation. The examination of copies using ethnographic analysis tools illustrates a practice that has hitherto been little represented in research of digital imaging (reproductions of oil paintings, see article 1), documents (letter facsimile, see articles 3 and 4) and historical objects (souvenirs based on Edvard Munch's bedspread, see article 2) in a leading European museum: The Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway. The use of material semiotics and actor network theory has made it possible to flatten the landscape and analyze different actors involved in the production of copies in a symmetrical manner. This prevented a "black boxing" of technology, which is often taken for granted and tends to be invisible. The images have been shown to be actors capable of acting, as part of the incorporated "assamblages" of human and non-human actor networks, which circulate between different levels of museum work. Pictures of works of art, documents and objects are constantly being processed, updated, multiplied and moved around. As the articles in the dissertation show, an art museum can be read as an ever-growing player network of relationships where authentic objects and copies are embedded. Producing a copy in a museum is a collective process, and several human and non-human actors act simultaneously in this process. Reproductions of paintings, letter facsimiles or patterns printed on souvenirs are a result of clashes and tensions between various actors involved in this dynamic and impossible-to-schematic process.

title: Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation in International and National (Norwegian) Law, 2019

description: This research project elaborates on what lies in the LHBTI persons' right to recognition, self-determination and equal treatment under existing human rights conventions and declarations, including the Yogyakarta Principles of 2006. Concrete main themes are lesbian and gay protection against persecution under the Refugee Convention, trans and intersex children's rights. to gender identity and equal treatment under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (SP) and the International Convention on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ESC). In its treatment of this theme, the research establishes a life-phase perspective that puts the situation of children, adolescents and parents at the center. It addresses, based on an empirical bottom-up and a legal-from-above perspective, actual and legal issues that have received little attention in international and Norwegian forensic science. The focus is on two legislative reforms that are of particular importance for Norway's implementation of LGBTI people's human rights protection. One is the Equality and Discrimination Act (ldl) ban on discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression that came into force in 2013. The other is the Law on Change of Legal Gender, which was passed in 2016. The law repealed the human rights violation requirement that was central to the first phase of the project. An overarching issue is the importance these laws have and should have for the position of LGBTI people in areas such as the law of persons, refugee law, family law, health law and education law.

title: Living Conditions and Life Situation for LGBTI People with Immigrant Background in Norway, 2018

description: The purpose of the study was to provide insight into how different discriminatory structures and practices interact, which will be an important basis for improving the living conditions of vulnerable groups. The study includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people with backgrounds from a number of different countries in the world and living in different places in Norway. The research project consists of two sub-studies: First, we have conducted a web-based survey aimed at queers with an immigrant background. 251 people answered the survey. This study is based on self-recruitment and is therefore not statistically representative. Secondly, we have conducted an interview survey where we have spoken to 41 queers with an immigrant background aged 16 to 61 years. Most interviews are open life story interviews where the participants themselves defined what they would tell and the conversation was governed by what was important to them. In both sub-surveys, we have elucidated key issues of living conditions such as education and work, health, substance abuse, relationships and networks, openness, discrimination and violence.

title: Improve Maternal and Perinatal Health Outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa by focus on Quality of Care, 2018

description: This project was inspired by a determination to improve quality of maternity care for the most vulnerable and hard to reach populations, that are most at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. It was a multidiciplinary effort to promote and facilitate better quality care for pregnant women at basic, peripheral maternities in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project addressed cornerstones of quality care delivery: specific clinical skills, communication in health systems, and socioeconomic and cultural context.

title: Sustainable European Welfare Societies: Assessing Linkages between Social and Environmental Policy, 2018

description: Across Europe, governments struggle to make welfare states sustainable. Yet, policymakers and analysts rarely spell out the conditions for achieving such sustainability. Moreover, while the pressures created by demographic ageing are readily acknowledged, the implications of climate and environmental changes for welfare states have so far not been fully theorised nor adequately explored empirically. The main purpose of this project was to begin to fill this knowledge gap by asking how researchers and policymakers can tackle issues of social welfare and environmental sustainability in coordinated and mutually supportive ways across established policy fields. The work was organised in four work packages (WPs). WP1 asked how the meaning of social welfare sustainability changes if we consider environmental concerns, employing as a starting point the literature on sustainable development. WP2 examined, using international survey data, individual attitudes on issues related to social welfare arrangements and the environment and asked whether we can detect cross-national convergence or divergence. WP3 explored what salience and meaning environmental and welfare state sustainability have across three key government departments (social affairs, finance and environment). WP4 synthesised the findings from WPs 1-3 and asked what conclusions we can draw with regard to the overarching project theme.

title: Diversity in the Norwegian News Media Landscape: A Hybrid Model for Evaluating Media Policy, 2017

description: The primary aim of this project was to eavluate the effect of media regulation on the diversity in the Norwegian news media landscape. The regulations evaluated include ownership restrictions, press support for newspapers, and protection of public broadcasting. Around 830,000 news articles from 189 news media from all over the country was collected in the period 2015-2017, including paper, web and broadcasting. The data was analyzed using hybrid methodology, including quantitative content analysis, Latent Dirichlet allocation and Named Entity Chunking. The project adapted existing methods for processing and analyzing big data with digital media content. The analyzes showed that the Norwegian media contribute to diversity in one way or another. The results showed that public broadcasting contributes to diversity in particular through its focus on regional news, that local newspapers contribute in particular through a focus on local conditions and by improving the gender balance, that national media contribute to diversity through their breadth and foreign news coverage, and that niche newspapers contribute through their thematic focus. In addition, media with media support, including NRK, is better at using Nynorsk. Ownership proved to have little or no effect on the diversity in the news media landscape, primarily explained by the composition of newspapers under different groups of companies.
