title: Remote Sensing of Ocean Circulation and Environmental Mass Changes (REOCIRC), 2016

description: REOCIRC is a basic natural science research project that applies state of the art instrumentation and theory to study remote sensed ocean circulation and heat fluxes towards the Arctic Ocean and the corresponding environmental mass changes in response to the estimated heat fluxes. REOCIRC was designed to consist of a field campaign collecting in situ data parallel to a satellite data processing group in order to obtain high precision water level estimates and therefore a more precise ocean circulation pattern in the Fram Strait region towards the Arctic Ocean. 3 x Ocean Bottom Recorder (OBP) moorings and one ocean current/hydrography mooring were deployed for two years at the northwestern corner of Spitsbergen were the mooring line captured the water transport in the Svalbard Branch and the Spitsbergen Polar Current (SPC). On the August 28, 2014, OBPs (sbe-26) were installed at (YP1) 79°48.0'N, 10°44.8'E, in about 29 m of water, at (YP2) 79°50.4'N, 10°29.6'E, in about 110 m of water and at (YP3) 80°10.5'N, 08°8.7'E, in water about 550 m deep. In between the OBP moorings, close to YP3, a current meter mooring (YPC) measured current and hydrography in the water column from 50 m to 500 m depth. The YPC mooring was equipped with three current meters, one Aandreaa Seaguard (SG) at 60 m depth and two Aanderaa RCM9, positioned at 200 m and 500 m depth. Three SBE 37 Microcats measured conductivity and temperature (80, 200, and 300 m depth) and 15-16 Vemco minilog II (vmc) for temperature measurements were distributed vertically along the mooring.

title: Contesting Schengen: Effects of Border Enforcements on Economic and Social Cohesion in European Border Spaces, 2018

description: The free movement of people, goods, capital and services within the Schengen area is one of the major achievements of the European integration process and provides economic opportunities for businesses and residents in the Schengen area. "Schengen" not only stands as a symbol of the process of economic integration, but also for social cohesion and a common identity as European citizens. Those achievements are particularly important for border zones in the Schengen area. In the wake of tightening border controls and securitization measures, because of the contemporary migration crisis, the roles and functions of these borderlands are both challenged and changed, turning the former "zones of contact and co-operation" increasingly into "lines of separation". Even though the practical consequences of this "Schengen crisis" (Börzel/Risse 2017) can be observed (f.ex. the introduction of border controls and traffic jams on the German-Austrian or Swedish-Norwegian border), there is little knowledge to date on the social-economic effects that they have on companies and residents in the border regions where border enforcements take place. In our project, we aim to explore the effects of (changing) border enforcements and practices in selected border regions along the Swedish-Norwegian and German-Austrian border by adopting a comparative perspective. We conceptualise border regions as landscapes with a shared history and established traditions and practices of how to live along and across the border (Newman 2006, Perkmann 2003, Wagner/Lukowsk 2010). We will investigate if and how changing border enforcements would affect cross-border activities such as small-scale cross-border trade and logistics, commuting, and (shopping) tourism, but also the perceptions with regard to smuggling, human trafficking and irregular entries. In the collaborative Norwegian-German project, we will empirically work with field/participant observation and interviews from the two border regions.

title: Urban Environment Agreements – a Way Forward? The Negotiations, the Coordination and the Possible Effects, 2019

description: Urban environment agreements entails that the state, the county administration and municipalities are cooperating in order to achieve the goals incorporated in the climate settlement and the national transport plan elaborated by the Norwegian "Storting". This project aimed to investigate what potential all compassing urban environment agreements have to achieve sustainable living-, area- and transport developments. Research on urban environment agreements and negotiations of these provides a unique opportunity to study the interaction between the different administrative levels, and how state intentions of influencing local use of measures can be reconciled with the interests and needs to fulfill local wishes and priorities of the municipalities. This project studied how urban environment agreements are designed in the interaction between state, regional and local authorities, and what challenges and opportunities that arise out of this interaction. Further, the project wanted to look at the interaction and coordination between the urban environment agreements, urban development agreements and relevant plan processes and how this can influence the outcome of the urban environment agreements. The project also wanted to address the implementation barriers and opportunities in the urban environment agreements, and whether or not the measures that are included are appropriate in order to achieve the goals stated. The urban environment agreements are new ways to safeguard the interaction between the administrative levels. There is little knowledge both internationally and nationally concerning these kinds of management tools and measurement packages. Scientifically, it is therefore important to gain knowledge of this management instrument. The project was carried out in cooperation with societal actors, and included several central sections in a reference group. Actors like KS, ROM Eiendom and the Norwegian Directorate of Health were also participating in the project with their own work contribution and direct funding. With the active user involvement planned in the project, the project ensured that the parties involved constructed knowledge within their own organization, that relevant knowledge that these actors holds are benefiting the project, and that the results of the project are promptly passed on to the actors. The project lasted from 01.09.2016-31.08.2019. Transcribed interview data cannot be sufficiently anonymized (for occupation, municipality, sector) without losing total relevance for the study. These cannot therefore be disclosed as the informants are promised full anonymity. The interview guide used in interviews in the case municipalities is available for downloading. The interview guide was also used for state-level interviews, but was then adapted for that purpose. The interview guide is freely available for downloading.

title: Artic Ocean Under Melting ICE (UNDER-ICE), 2015

description: UNDER-ICE was initiated in 2014. The primary objective of the project was to increase the knowledge about water masses and processes in ice-covered seas, including heat and volume fluxes, freshwater fluxes, ice-ocean processes, and primary production based on observations and modelling in the European sector of the Arctic Ocean in the climate system. The main experimental component in the project was the acoustic network that facilitates acoustic tomography, oceanography, and passive acoustics in the Fram Strait. Five moorings were deployed in 2014 in the Fram Strait for a two-year long tomographic experiment. In addition, the acoustic network was supported by a physical oceanography mooring, denoted Y3, deployed in 2014 on the Yermak Plateau.

title: Development of a home visit program directed at the Norwegian Child Health Care Service- a focus on maternal and child health, early intervention and innovation

description: The overall goal of this project has been to strengthen families with children and improve the health of mother and child to ensure that full potential is realized. Furthermore, the project has had three sub-goals, the first was to conduct a feasibility study, in which acceptance for and benefit of individual follow-up of a health nurse through and after pregnancy is optimized. The second was to develop a pilot program for individual follow-up of mother and child in the health station in accordance with signals from the Ministry of Health and Care Services and the Norwegian Directorate of Health. This was also based on intention in new legislation, information from the research literature, key informant interviews and focus groups with nurses and users of the health station service. The third and final sub-goal was to develop instruments and protocols for evaluation and monitoring of the program, and to carry out the follow-up evaluation.

The project's hypothesis was as follows: By developing and establishing a preventive and health-promoting program at the health center focused on strengthening the mother's coping ability and security in the mother role, the need for secondary and tertiary measures in primary health and care services can be reduced and mother and child health improved.

title: ReleQuant Competence: Engaging researchers, teachers and teacher students in research-based development of learning resources in physics, 2014

description: Although science education is declared important by the Norwegian government, not much research has been conducted on teaching and learning science in secondary school or on science teachers' competence development. The ReleKvant competence project has had three related goals. First, to develop research-based, digital learning resources in relativity theory and quantum physics for high school. Second, to study physics students' concepts, learning and motivation. Third, to create and explore a learning community of practice where physics teachers, associate professor educators, researchers and teacher education students collaborate on the development of varied and engaging teaching in physics.

The methodological framework for the project is Design-based research (DBR), which involves several cycles of development of learning resources in collaboration with teachers and associate professor students, data collection in classrooms, and further development of the resources based on the trial. The ReleKvant resources in quantum physics became widely available through the Norwegian Science Center's platform viten.no in October 2016 after four rounds of testing; the resources in general relativity were published in the autumn of 2017.

title: Person Centered Communication with Older Persons in Need of Health Care, 2017

description: This project is described under the acronym COMHOME. The objective was to explore aspects of the communication when the elderly expressed unpleasant emotions in a conversation with health personnel during a home health nursing visit in Norway. Sound recordings from actual visits in home health nursing was collected and analysed. The code-system VR-CoDES (Verona Coding Definition of Emotional Sequences) was chosen as an observational system, as it is well suited to identify statements that contains unpleasant feelings expressed by the elderly and the immediate response from the health personnel. In the quantitative analysis, observational data from VR-CODES was analysed.

title: Workplace Diversity, 2019

description: Work participation among young people with mental disabilities such as anxiety, depression or behavioural disorders is a relevant topic that has received more attention in the last couple of years, but as a research field, there are still many unanswered questions. Knowledge of the culture of inclusion in Norwegian working life, and how this culture asserts itself on young employment seeking people with reduced functional abilities or mental illnesses, could contribute to the reduction of these obstacles for work participation among young employment seekers. Practical cooperation structures between the research communities and the field of practice was established through the described competence-building project. This led to information exchanges that was in the interest of both parties, in the designing of the study and in the usage of the results. This competence-building project sought to answer among other things: What are the obstacles to hiring young people that represent different exposed groups? What are the motivational factors for hiring these people? How is the knowledge about different kinds of functional impairments, and what conditions do these impairments set on the individuals work capacity? A challenge to this research was whether the information collected was in fact mirroring the actual reality. Attitudes are generally normative, and the danger of socially desirable answers was real. The design of the study tried to avoid this problem. The results of this competence-building project will contribute to develop knowledge about the status among employers in Norway, and what factors that promote and hinder inclusion. This knowledge has a great practical value, considering that making problems visible for actors in the field of practice that until now have not been documented. The knowledge could also be implemented in courses directed at employers (by working life centres for instance), form the basis for better communication between counsellors in the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration, employers and job-seekers in the employment seeking process, and in addition provide the basis for the development of a resource web page, conversational tools and other practical tools for relevant users.
