title: Person Votes in Norwegian Local Elections, 2003-2015

description: Incumbents tend to have a solid electoral advantage in candidate-centered electoral settings. Do similar incumbency effects exist in more party-centered environments? We estimate incumbency effects in an open-list proportional representation system, exploiting that seats are first allocated across parties, and then to candidates within party lists. Using data from Norwegian local elections 2003–2015, we document that a candidate that barely wins a seat in the local council has about a 9 percentage points (43%) higher probability of being elected in the next election compared to a candidate that just misses out on a seat on the same party list. We find no evidence that voters contribute to this personal incumbency advantage. Rather, it seems as if party elites are instrumental in securing the electoral success of their party affiliates. We show that incumbents and non-incumbents run again in the subsequent election at about equal rates, but that incumbents tend to advance in the party hierarchy and obtain safer ballot positions in future elections, which is what ultimately leads to electoral success.

title: Whats So Sexy About Degenderizing Language? Investigating Gender Representations by Readers and Listeners in Norwegian, Finnish and French, 2018

description: When referring to a person's personal, social or professional role, such as "researcher", "traveler" or "leader", knowing the person's biological gender will not always be crucial to understanding the content of a discourse. Previous research suggests that readers and listeners still make a gender assumption, and often do so in ways that unnecessarily narrow their understanding (mental picture) down to just one gender. In order to avoid gender-differentiated language and thus skew gender representations, Norway has proposed as a linguistic strategy «off-gender by neutralization». This strategy is to use words that do not specify gender when referring to women or men, avoiding e.g. use of feminine suffixes. What remains to be investigated, however, is the effect of removing linguistic allusions to gender on how gender is then interpreted. This project investigates this issue by conducting experimental research in three different languages that encode gender information to different degrees (Finnish, Norwegian and French) and in two modalities of language understanding (reading and listening).

title: Patients’ Use and Interpretation of Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) Short Form – A Qualitative Study of Patients with Cancer, 2018

description: The objective of this project was to study how cancer patients understand and use the form PS-SGA, which is a screening tool for nutrition, and if they use it how it was intended. Experiences from using the form in research show that some patients are filling it out in a wrong way. The research questions are: How do the patients interpret the questions, the alternatives, and the format of the form? To what degree does the questions and the alternatives reflect how the patients really are (that is, are the patients able to describe their nutritional situation by means of this form)? Are patients with cognitive challenges or a low functional level able to fill it out?

title: The Challenges of Building Trust: Reputation and Brand Management in Municipalities, 2013

description: Norwegian municipalities are arenas for various activities related to reputation and brand management. This project studied these activities in detail. As very limited research existed, this project filled a number of empirical and theoretical gaps. The purpose was to determine how reputation and brand management initiatives unfolded, how they were manifested externally, and to identify their effects. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, the project focused on central issues such as the politics of branding, formalization and control, the content of self-presentation, differentiation issues, symbolic aspects, the revitalizing potential for local democracy, and the implications for governance and policy.

title: Contextual Aspects of Text Organization, 2013

description: Much effort has been invested in automatic correction of writing mistakes, but less in investigating the work flow of the writing process. The project aims at investigating the work flow of writers in two different groups: ordinary writers with no known reading or writing disabilities and known dyslectics. We need information about the writing process, for use in automatic correction. The aim of the project is to f ind factors that aid, support and stimulate text production in disadvantaged groups. It is also important that we know more about normal text production. The ultimate aim is to provide information through careful investigation so that word processors can adapt to the needs of the users. We think that users, especially in the disadvantaged groups, will benefit from both positive and negative feedback. The main question in this project is when to present feedback in an optimal way so that the writing process is not disturbed.

title: Survey On Participation In the Workplace, 2009

description: On behalf of the Ministry of Labor and Social Inclusion, the project has investigated the extent to which corporate democratic schemes have been established in Norwegian working life. Secondly, what the various schemes are used for, whether the Norwegian employees have an influence on their own work situation, the organization of work and on the structure and functioning of the companies. The project has also looked at the effects of the schemes on management, organization and to a limited extent efficiency on Norwegian workplaces. The quantitative survey is a survey with structured questions for employees and managers, and with a special question battery for union representatives and managers. Statistics Norway carried out sample drawing, broadcasting and data collection, as well as preparation of statistics files. A questionnaire was sent to a sample from Statistics Norway's Aa register.

title: Urban Passenger Mode Shift and Cross Modal Demand Effects (Crossmodal), 2017

description: Mode shift is at the core of sustainable transport in all world cities; yet we know comparatively little about it. The Crossmodal project has sought to shed light onto this knowledge gap. Crossmodal studies cross-modal demand effects in urban passenger transport, that is, the demand effect on one transport mode of an alteration to another mode., e.g. how petrol prices affect bus demand. Such knowledge is crucial for policy makers who want to change the transport system towards a more sustainable modal mix. Methodologically, the project has focused on cross-elasticities of demand, diversion factors, mode choice and suppressed/induced demand. These are central concepts in economics, modelling/engineering and mathematics. A general finding relates to the fact that there are strong limits as to how much the quality of one mode can affect the demand for another mode - e.g. the impact on car use of reducing public transport fares. That said, we find travel time elements to have the strongest impact across transport modes. If the aim is to reduce car use, it is more effective to improve public transport travel times than to reduce their fares.The project has maintained focus on stakeholders throughout, with an active user group which has followed the project. The project has been an international cooperation between TØI (Norway) and Leeds ITS (UK). An expert panel has overseen the scientific quality of the project.

title: Innovation and Service Development through Evolving Forms of Collaboration (Subproject 5), 2016

description: INNOS (main projects) RCN number: 226521.

The project «Innovation and Service Development through evolving Forms of Collaboration» (INNOS) consisted of six subprojects, this describe subproject 5:

The demand for development and innovation in public services is emphasized in a number of official documents, and concretized in among others in the “cooperation research strategy” (2012) by the Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services and in various program aims of the Research Council of Norway, directed towards innovation in the public sector. The aim of this project was to investigate how municipality leaders respond to these expectations and signals in the municipalities, consequently how aims and strategies on a national level “are received” at a local level. The data sources consist of individual interviews with leaders on different levels of welfare services in three municipalities.

title: The Multiethnic Rural Community: Exclusion or Inclusion of Immigrants? 2014

description: The project investigates how local communities in district municipalities changes as a consequence of immigration and increasing movement between countries. The focus is on processes of inclusion and exclusion in central welfare arenas (housing, work and civil society) seen from the perspectives of citizens with immigrant background and majority background. In order to gain more knowledge in these kinds of processes in Norway, different cases were compared: between three different district municipalities and with a multiethnic quarter in Oslo and a multiethnic district area in Sweden and Denmark. The aim of this project was to identify possible similar patterns across cases and differences that can be connected to the specific place, either in regard to being a district municipality or in regard to being a Norwegian multiethnic local community compared to similar case in Denmark and Sweden. The project combines different theoretical approaches, methods and disciplines.
