title: Models for Development of Dental Diseases, 1990

description: The project contains a survey concerning health, environment and development in a birth cohort of children and their families. A subproject concerning dental health and dental health behavior was also included. The sample selected was all children born at Kongsvinger hospital in a 16-month period spanning from 1979 to 1980. The data material consists of two data files. The largest data file is based on interviews of parents on the maternity ward after birth, questionnaires completed by the public health nurse at the 6-month control, questionnaires completed by the dental nurse at the 18-month control, questionnaires completed by a dentist at the 3-year control, questionnaires completed by the children's parents at the 7-year control at the dental clinic, questionnaires to children and parents at the 10-year control at the dental clinic in addition to reports from the clinical and radiological examinations. The second data file contains data from clinical examinations and radiological teething rings at the 7-year control at the dentists. The material consists of a birth cohort of 231 children born in 1979/1980. At the survey in 1979/1980 the data material consisted of 231 families, in 1982 it consisted of 201 families, in 1987 it consisted of 133 families, and in 1990 it consisted of 107 families.

title: Life course, Generation and Gender, LOGG, supplementary file 2007/2008

description: The Life course, Generation and Gender study (LOGG) is an umbrella study for two surveys. One of the surveys is a larger survey that is a part of the UN's research program about generation and gender equality, Generations and Gender Probramme (GGP). The other survey is the Norwegian survey Lifespan, aging and generation (NorLAG). An important aim of the study on lifespan, generation and gender (LOGG) is to achieve better insight to the consequences of long term demographic changes. Among the questions that the survey can contribute to answer are (Brunborg et. al., 2009): - Is it possible to avoid further decline in the fertility rate and stimulate young people towards starting families, producing larger broods of children and thereby achieving a more balanced population development in the long term? - How is it possible to counteract retirement rates and arrange for more durable including in the labor market? - What meaning does life- and health habits have for health and assistance needed for the elderly? - Which relationships contribute to movement and which relationships influence movement patterns? Even though data gathering for LOGG to a large degree was carried through as a study it contains several possibilities. Information can be analyzed as a country wide representative sample in the age 18-79 years (LOGG/GGS). In addition, it is possible to filter data in connection to the original NorLag study in two ways. Either by studying the persons that are interviewed in LOGG, but at the same time are included in the second round of the NorLAG study, meaning a representative sample in the age 18-79 years in a sample of municipalities and districts in Norway. Or by studying the sample in NorLAG, meaning persons that were already drawn in 2002, and connect these to the LOGG survey - a representative sample in the age 40-85 years in a sample of municipalities and districts in Norway. This is the supplementary file and it contains data from the postal questionnaires. There is also a supplementary file that contains data from the telephone interviews.

title: Risk and Safety in Transport, 2010

description: The project consists of three subprojects (reduced from 4 in the original application) and each subproject discusses and compares a wide range of transport modes. The project builds on an ongoing project run by TOI about perceived insecurity in RISIT. The first part is a method development related to emotional factors in risk perception (objective 1), while in Part 2 continued and expanded analysis of variation in risk perception between groups (objectives 2). Part three examines the risk compensation and perceived insecurity linked to public acceptance of measures by various modes of transport (objectives 3 and 4). All subprojects are seen in light of a) discrepancy between objective and perceived risk and b) the relationship between cognitive and emotional components of risk perception. The purpose of the project is to generate knowledge about the actual risk and risk perception that may contribute to a risk communication perspective and in conjunction with the implementation of effective security measures. Finally, the goal is to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between cognition and emotion in risk perception . The project has thus a basic researcg part (relationship between emotion and cognition in risk perception), as well as a greater applied part. Different methods will be used, but mainly literary studies, and the development and adaptation of an existing questionnaire will be used in the different sections. In addition implemented an experimental design in Section 3.

title: Psychological and biological aspects of chronic fatigue among long-time survivors of cancer, 2005

description: The main object of this project is to examine the relationships between various psychological problems that are frequently reported in our samples of long-term survivors of cancer. We will investigate immunological parameters for possible biological correlates. To know what's specific for long-term survivors, we compare survivor data to general population data when possible. Thus, this project is divided into three sub goals: 1) Data not included: To investigate possible associations between symptoms of chronic fatigue and a wide variety of relevant variables among long-term survivors of testicular cancer (N=1,431). Fatigue scores among testicular cancer survivors are compared to norm data from 1996 (Loge, 1998) 2) To investigate possible associations between symptoms of chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety and levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cortisol in serum among long-term survivors of Testicular Cancer (N= 291). 3) To investigate possible associations between symptoms of chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety and levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cortisol in serum among long-term survivors of Breast Cancer (N= 315)

title: Diet, vitamin A and K, genetics and orofacial clefts, 2010

description: Several factors have been shown to promote orofacial clefting e.g. genetic factors, teratogenes, maternal alcohol and cigarette use, herbicides and nutrient intake like folate and other B-vitamins. The primary aim of the project is to study the association between maternal dietary intakes of the first three months of pregnancy and the risk of orofacial clefts in the offspring. This proposal builds on a unique data set including 574 Norwegian case-parents and 763 randomly selected control-parents that have been collected through a population-based case-control study of Norwegian babies born in the period 1996-2001. NSD1844-1: Datafile on nutrients (næringsstoffer, 2) NSD1844-2: Datafile on fatty acids (fettsyrer, 2) NSD1844-3: Datafile on coffe, tea and caffeine (Kaffe te koffein, 2) NSD1844-4: Datafile on food group 1 (matvaregrupper 1, 2) NSD1844-5: Datafile on food group 2 (matvaregrupper 2, 2)

title: Mechanisms for Transcapillary Transport - From Molecules to Clinical Application, 2009

description: Capillaries are highly permeable to water and small solutes but very restrictive towards protein. This arrangement is necessary to maintain fluid equilibrium between plasma and tissue. There is a slow transfer of protein to supply tissues with e.g. important bioactive molecules. How the transport of fluid and molecules takes place is, surprisingly, still a controversial issue. With the present project I aimed at investigating how transcapillary transport is accomplished. First, I focused on macromolecular transport: Is it by vesicular transport (transcytosis) or across pores? The transport characteristics of genetically modified mice that lack endothelial caveolae, and thus are incapable of transcytosis were studied. Furthermore, specific macromolecular (albumin) transcytotic uptake was blocked by using a specific antibody. Second, I focused on fluid and small solute transport in a clinical situation (peritoneal dialysis, PD): Is fluid transport from peritoneum by way of lymphatics or by capillary reabsorption (Starling equilibrium)? To adress this issue I measured the gradients that govern the Starling equilibrium in a chronic PD model. Why do patients on long-term PD develop morphological and functional changes eventually leading to change of dialysis therapy? To adress whether this was related to the low-grade inflammation induced by PD, a chronic PD rat model was employed and proinflammatory cytokines were measured in the peritoneal tissues. Furthermore, to adress the same issue, an antiinflammatory substance (heparin) was added to the fluid during PD in rats while assessing the transport characteristics. This project had a translational character with important implications for drug delivery and states of perturbed microvascular permeability. It also lead to better prescription of dialysis dose and understanding of why patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis develop morphological and functional changes.

title: Religion, 1991, 1998, 2008, Norwegian part of ISSP

description: This data set is a cumulative file for the surveys on religion, 1991, 1998, 2008, Norwegian part of ISSP. These surveys is carried out on the basis of the research collaboration in "The International Social Survey Programme" (ISSP). ISSP is an international organisation that prepares and coordinates annual surveys in its member countries, mainly within the fields of political science and sociology. The topics of the surveys varies, but are repeated at intervals of a few years. In this way, changes in behavioural patterns and attitudes over time as well as differences between countries and cultures are possible to be detected and measured. The Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD) became a member of ISSP in 1989 and has since been responsible for carrying out the surveys in Norway. In connection to the survey, Norwegian researchers are invited to add supplementary questions to the Norwegian respondents. The three survey's (1991, 1998 and 2008) objective was to collect data on attitudes towards religion, religious socialisation, religious affiliation, faith and own religious practice, conceptions of faith, the relationship with and between religious and secular institutions, politics, moral and ethics, participation in voluntary work. The Norwegian additional part was in 2008 developed in collaboration with Pål Repstad and May-Linda Magnussen, University of Agder, Knut Lundby, Universitety of Oslo and Ulla Schmidt, Olaf Aagedal and Pål Ketil Botvar, KIFO. The questions in the Norwegian part deal with religious symbols/dress, religion and society, bioethics, gender roles, religion in the media. The Norwegian additional part was in 1998 developed in collaboration with Pål Repstad, Department of Social Science, Agder University College, Pål Ketil Botvar, The Centre for Church Research (KIFO)/DIAFORSK, Diakonhjemmet University College and Dag Stenvoll and Per Selle, Norwegian Centre for Research in Management, Organisation and Administration. The questions in the Norwegian part deal with New Age, attitudes towards environmental protection, attitudes towards abortion and euthanasia and political trust. In 1991 the Norwegian addition to the survey was prepared in collaboration with Inger Furseth, Department of Sociology, University of Oslo, Knut Lundby, The Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo,Pål Repstad, Agder University College and Olav Aagedal, Diakonhjemmet University College. Questions in the Norwegian part deal with issues such as new elements of faith and religious practice, religious carreer, "societal religion" and religion and media.

title: Pilot Survey of Political Attitudes, 2007

description: The pilot survey is part of a collaborative research project between Elisabeth Ivarsflaaten, Department of Comparative Politics, University of Bergen, Scott Blinder, Oxford University and Robert Ford, Manchester University. The project manager is Elisabeth Ivarsflaten. The project aims to develop new and improved indicators of attitudes concerning central fields in today's politics and society. This pilot survey helps to discover which of the suggested questions that serve to measure political attitudes in a satisfying manner. The survey was carried out in the following manner: A questionnaire was administered that examined subjects' racial and political attitudes. Two pen and paper survey sessions were held during daytime at the University of Bergen, Norway, in November 2007. Participants were invited from within and around the university campus, and offered movie vouchers as incentive to participate. There were 80 respondents in total, but 4 respondents reported an "immigrant background" and were excluded from the analysis, resulting in a sample of 76 respondents. The dataset is freely accessible and can be downloaded or analyzed online.
