title: Workplace Health and Wellness Promotion: Effects of Team-based Interventions on Motivation, Physical Activity, Health and Work-functioning, 2016

description: The research project investigated whether or not group based worksite intervention increased both motivation for physical activity and actual physical activity. We tested also if the interventions resulted in change in physical health (fitness, blood pressure, cholesterol and waist size), well-being, somatic ailments, absence due to illness and job functioning. The intervention is based on the principles in the self-determination theory combined with techniques from motivating interviews. The design is a randomized control study consisting of one intervention group and one control group. 202 people participated, all employed in Posten and worked daily as delivery personnel, drivers or terminal workers. The participants were measured three times, baseline, after intervention and after 12 months. This study showed that intervention, consisting of different measures to create support, can be effective despite a relative modest dose. Effects it had on physical activity, fitness and health are mixed but promising. This is especially relevant to somatic ailments which is an important contributor to work absence (by muscle and skeletal ailments as well as psychological ailments). The study showed that self-determination theory represents a valuable and practical framework for worksite interventions. The results indicated that health-promoting programs that focus on lifestyle have a limited immediate effect on absence due to illness unless it is combined with other worksite measures. The results of this study were used to evaluate and improve health and well-being programs in Posten Norge. The study also contributed with scientific and applied knowledge about health and well-being on worksites in general and expanded the understanding of motivation for lifestyle changes. The project has been a collaborative effort between Posten Norge, Research Council Norway and Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. Alot of the questions asked in this dataset comes from standardized questionaires, down below is an overview: -Satisfaction in Life Scale (SILS) -Subjective vitality (SV) -Postive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) -Somatic Complaints/somatic symptom scale (SSS-8) -International Physical Activity Scale -Effort and Quality of Work (EQW) -Turnover intention (TI) -Affective Organizational Commitment (AOC) -Perceived Investment in Employee Development - Health Competence (PIED) -Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnair (BREQ-2) -Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNES) -Self Efficacy in Exercise Scale (barriers) -Perceived Competence for Exercise Scale (PCES) -Health Care Climate Questionnaire (team) (HCCQTe) -Health Care Climate Questionnaire (facilitator) (HCCQF)

title: Traces of History, 2019

description: Historical linguistics has traditionally focused either on a synchronic description of a language during a certain period, or it has focused on changes that have taken place. This project aims at turning the perspective 180 degrees, and ask the following question: What characterizes structures that do not change? From a typological point of view, V2 is extremely rare and is only found in a few, dispersed languages outside the Germanic group. On the other hand, one know that a number of Romance languages were V2 in the medieval period. Since the Middle Ages, V2 has been lost in all Romance languages with the exception of Rhaeto-Romance, whereas it has been retained in all Germanic languages with the exception of Modern English. This gives the project the opportunity to use Modern English and Modern Rhaeto-Romance as a control group. When one define what the Germanic and Medieval Romance languages have in common, one must compare that to data from English and Rhaeto-Romance. Seven researchers and one PhD student will cooperate in investigating core questions related to V2. The project tried to identify features that are linked to V2 and see to what extent V2 hinges on the presence of these. On the other hand, the project also wanted to see what elements of the old V2 grammar might be found as relics in the modern SV-languages. The project have identified a set of hypotheses that will be at the center of the work. The main hypotheses are the following: - In order for V2 to be preserved, certain other key aspects of the language must be present. - V2 is shorthand for two different movement operations, and it is possible for a language to lose one or both properties.

title: The Useful Life of Bed-nets for Malaria Control in Tanzania: Attrition, Bio-efficacy, Chemistry, Durability and Insecticide Resistance, 2016 - excel files

description: Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) are the current first line choice in malaria vector control in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with most countries adopting universal coverage campaigns with free or subsidised nets. However, there is only limited knowledge from few countries of the effective life of LLINs under user conditions, an essential parameter for determining the operational and cost-effectiveness of this strategy. This study investigated LLIN effectiveness by measuring attrition, bio-efficacy, chemical content and physical degradation in Tanzania. A two-stage approach was used: Firstly, LLINs from recent net campaigns was evaluated retrospectively. The sampled households was then be provided with one of three leading LLIN products and followed up for three years in a prospective study to compare the performance of the LLIN brands in vivo. There was also developed a GIS-based network to understand potential spatial reasons for net loss and deterioration; to monitor insecticide resistance and to show malaria incidence data collected from local health centres and national surveys. A highly skilled multi-disciplinary team was brought together that supported the Tanzanian vector control both then and in the future through the training of two Tanzanian PhD students. This was the first team to conduct a geographically representative study of LLIN use and efficacy using WHO-recommended methodologies and large sample sizes determined by robust statistical methods with independent data quality assurance. The data collected will be of importance to policy makers and vector control specialists in both Tanzania and the SSA region to inform best practice for the maintenance of high and cost-effective coverage to maximize current gains in malaria control.

title: China in Indian Strategic Thinking, 2019

description: This project studied recent and contemporary developments in India's securtiy policy within the larger framework of geopolitical developments affecting South Asia, and especially the rise of China. India's location, size, population and resources have traditionally ensured the country's role as a regional great power. This position is now under pressure from China, which is gradually gaining influence in India's neighboring areas and in the rest of the region. One key issue is how China's growth affects India's security policy. China and India's economic growth has changed the geopolitical dynamics of Asia, and is likely to continue doing so in the future. The project addressed two main themes. The first was how China's expansion affects India's relationship with the neighboring region. The second was how India tries to balance China'a growth by entering strategic partnerships with other countries outside the region.

title: Shared Mobility for Innovative and Inclusive Green Cities, 2017

description: Worldwide and in Norway, cities face challenges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air and noise pollution, while increasing the accessibility and livability of residential, work and living environments to all citizens. Car and bike sharing could provide solutions to these challenges, thanks to optimized use of vehicles, space, energy, financial and material resources, as well as potential benefits for social inclusion. However, while shared mobility is rapidly increasing and political support is shifting in its favour (in Norway and abroad), publicly funded scientific research into this phenomenon is still in its infancy. It was the primary objective of this project to develop a comprehensive interdisciplinary understanding of the conditions that support the upscaling of shared urban mobility and define its environmental, social and economic sustainability. Hereto, first, from a user perspective this project analysed who uses car/bike sharing, why and how this affects their daily mobility patterns and subsequent CO2-emissions. Second, from a supplier perspective this project envisaged which organizations and business models could provide sustainable upscaling of shared mobility. And third, from a policy perspective this project examined policy change/innovation, and how to define a policy mix that best supports the sustainable upscaling of car and bike sharing.

title: Climate Cosmopolitics: Water Conflicts and Citizenship in the era of Climate Change in the Peruvian Andes, 2018

description: The main objective of the project was to document how climate change is experienced, explained and respected among various groups' living along the Majes-Colca watercourse in Peru. The project has investigated how farmers in the Andes are observing and experiencing changes in the weather and the environment, and how they interpret the changes and act in relation to the changes. There has also been a special focus on collective action through organizing in water user organizations. The project also investigated how climate change affects local knowledge and how knowledge of nature and cosmology is articulated in the public space. Finally, the project has also looked at relationships and transactions between different locations along the Majes-Colca waterway: Maje's irrigation project on the dry plains in the "lowlands" near the coastline (about 1000 meters), Chivay in the Colca valley (3600 meters), and Callalli in highest part of the waterway where the Condoroma dam is located. All interviews in this research project are conducted in Spanish.
