title: Provision of Welfare to Irregular Migrants, 2013

description: An increasing number of 'irregular migrants' poses major challenges for welfare states. While they are defined as outside of society, human rights ideologies still require that certain measures be taken by authorities to secure a minimum standard of living.This project investigated the Norwegian welfare system's assessment of irregular migrant's rights and their actual social and health situation from a combined legal and social science approach, and examined the complex relationship between law, institutional practice, and migrants' lived experience. Researchers from law, sociology, social anthropology and political science, collaborated in the project. Methods included law analysis, ethnographic fieldwork and qualitative interviews. The theoretical framework was defined by traditional and critical legal perspectives and by anthropological theories of law and of the body.  
 
The project consisted of two separate, yet interwoven parts: 1) A legal study of national and international rules applying to welfare provisions to irregular migrants 2) A social scientific study of irregular migrant's access to, use and trust of social welfare institutions and how they experience being in an irregular situation. Focus was on welfare provisions in the areas of health and school/education and on how irregularity affects the lives of children. The component projects was related to the overarching research questions as stated in the primary and secondary objectives, working on a) international and national legal norms b) institutional practices and attitudes c) informal social networks d) migrants' experiences, agency and embodiment e) children's particular situation. Overall, the project's investigation of how 'irregularity' was legally, institutionally, socially, and culturally constructed and experienced offered much needed research-based knowledge of the consequences of present welfare policies and practices.

title: Culture and Mass Media Survey, 2016

description: This data set is taken from the "Media and Culture Research Survey, 2016", which was conducted by Statistics Norway (SSB). Since 1967, Statistics Norway has conducted sample surveys on the use of mass media. Every four years the survey is extended to include use of cultural activities. In 2016, use of cultural activities was included in the survey. The purpose of the survey is to provide an overall presentation of Norwegians' use of various types of mass media and the availability of such media. The media survey measures Norwegians' use of various mass media for a whole year, and data gathering is therefore conducted quarterly throughout the year, with four equally large samples per quarter. The majority of the interviews were conducted in the first three weeks of March, June, September and December. Interviews are distributed on all weekdays to provide an overview of seasonal variations in the use of media and culture

title: From Service Provider to Network Node: Does the Counties' Coordination Role Contribute to Goal Attainment and Public Sector Innovation? 2016

description: The objective of «From Service Provider to Network Node: Does the Counties' Coordination Role Contribute to Goal Attainment and Public Sector Innovation? 2016» was to attain new knowledge on the counties' new role - from serving as service providers to becoming multi-level coordinators. This was investigated by studying three policy areas where the county municipality was supposed to act as a coordinating node for a large number of actors: Public health, regional (economic) development and implementation of the EU's Water Framework Directive. The main question was how the counties practiced their role as coordinators and to what degree this coordination contributed to goal attainment and innovation in the public sector. The project therefore attained new knowledge about conditions for sustainable planning at the regional level. Results from the Norwegian study were compared to Danish and Swedish research regarding regional government.

title: Teachers' Professional Qualification; Different Forms of Preservice Programs and Different Knowledges, 2015

description: There are continuous discussions about how qualification for teachers and pre-school teachers should be organized and what kind of competence that is needed. Increased importance is attached to research based education and practice. Education reforms are to a greater extent based on research. This project focused on how teacher education is understood and implemented in pre-school and school teacher education. A central hypothesis was that a greater emphasis on research based knowledge in teacher education will lead to increased tension regarding how the mandate of teacher education is understood. Such tensions relate to different views on the primacy of research-based or experience based knowledge. In this project researchers in five sub-projects from three university colleges examined how tension between various types of theoretical and practical knowledge is handled within different 1) educational fields (pre-school and teacher education) and 2) educational models (full time and part time models). Data was collected through interviews, survey questionnaires and document analysis.

title: What Buildings Do: The Effect of the Physical Environment on Quality of Life of Asylum Seekers, 2013

description: This study investigates the effect physical environments may have for the well-being of asylum seekers and their relationship with the local community. The attitudes towards housing for asylum seekers in Europe are based on ethical dilemmas that need to be illuminated. Asylum seekers are in risk of developing psychological problems, and research shows that housing quality may be used as a strategy to af fect the mental health of the residents, their activity level, and well-being. This project focuses upon physical environments that facilitate positive social processes, lower conflict levels, secure and inspire the residents to an increased activity level, and improve contact between asylum seekers and local community - thereby contributing to improving the mental health and self-esteem of the asylum seekers. The project was based on case studies, survey, qualitative interviews, and typology studies. The project provides practical knowledge on the physical aspects that are important to address during the different stages of planning, rehabilitation and operation of asylum centers. Even if the focus is asylum seekers, the results are also relevant for other types of vulnerable resident groups, especially resident groups in need of temporary housing.

title: UrbaKnow: Blurred Borders: Urbanization, Knowledge-Policy and Cross-Disciplinary Interaction for Sustainable Cities, 2016

description: The project "UrbaKnow: Blurred Borders: Urbanization, Knowledge-Policy and Cross-Disciplinary Interaction for Sustainable Cities, 2016" studied different knowledge traditions and which type of knowledge that is relevant in planning for sustainable cities. Big cities in rapid growth put a special focus on how strong urbanization is perceived and handled - in research, politics and planning. The way urbanisation is conceptualized, viewed and handled varies across disciplines and policy sectors and among politicians and planners. This project looked specifically at how urbanization-in-Norwegian is understood, also in a international context. One important aim was to clarify academic and political differences in the view of environmental impact of urbanization.

title: Unregistered Transport - Mobility, Safety and new Technologies, 2017

description: The project aimed to obtain data on exposure and accidents on 'marginal' modes of transport by exploiting new developments in information technology, and adressed the prioritized theme 1: Interaction between technology and individual/organization/society with regard to transportation safety. The project was organized in six work packages(WPs). The first WP "Alternative methods and technologies to be utilised for mapping exposure and risks" was an overarching task that investigated the possibility to gain better data on exposure and risks by use of mobile app technology for mapping exposure, and resulted in an operational device to be used in subsequent WPs. WPs 2-5 are case studies of modes of travel that are currently poorly covered with respect to exposure and accidents: WP2 Children's travels to school, WP3 Leisure boat travel, WP4 Walking and cycling on and off roads and WP5 Snow scooter and ATV travel. We used both traditional survey techniques and new app technology to register trip data and obtain data on travel volumes. We utilized a unique data source (Harstad Injury Data Base) along with self reports to map accidents/injuries and provided nationwide accident and risk estimates for the groups studied. WP6 sums up and disseminate results both about exposure, accidents and risks for the travel modes covered and about implications for planning and policy both for the use of app technology to obtain data and in practice to inform authorities about safety critical issues. Users were involved in all stages of the project, and results has been disseminated to stakeholders and the research community through scientific journals, presentations at international conference and research reports. The project has answered to the demand in the TRANSIKK program for new prioritization tools in order to improve safety and security governance, and to a stated demand from the program committee for methodological innovation.

title: Histone Posttranslational Modification ChIP-chip from Oikopleura Dioica Gonads, 2014

description: In multicellular organisms, histone posttranslational modifications plays roles in transitions associated with the cell cycle, development, germline specification, gametogenesis and inheritance. Here adaptations of an epigenome in tunicates were defines, sister group to vertebrates, to strong secondary genome compaction in the larvacean, Oikopleura dioica, that has separate sexes and male heterogamy. They profiled 19 histone post-translational modifications in homogeneous ovary and testis samples and used the combinatorics of these marks to define chromatin states. And supplemented these with profiles of RNA polymerase II, CTCF and p300 binding sites and integrated existing annotation and expression data to characterize distinct epigenomic landscapes of the ovary and testis. All data can be made available at the GEO under accession number GSE78915.
