title: Symbolic consumption and identity in transition from child to teenager, 2000

description: This questionnaire survey was conducted among a representational sample of almost 12000 respondents. It covered 13 through 19-year-old pupils in all grades from junior high through high school.3 3 The questions in the survey cover a number of subjects: relation to parents and friends, school welfare, school achievements, educational and vocational plans, problematic conduct, body and selfesteem, participation in organisations, sports and outdoor activities, the use of mobile, pc and internet, politics and engagement in social issues, work and use of money. The survey was administrated by NOVA and financed by the National research Council. The outline will be structured by these questions: 1) What are the most common areas of consumption among Norwegian teenagers? 2) On what areas do Norwegian teenagers spend most money? 3) What patterns can we find in the consumption of Norwegian youth? 4) What are the characteristics common to the respondents who claim to practice various orientations to consumption? a) How do ”locked” categories of identity (such as social age, gender and place of habitation) influence on what teenagers claim to spend their money on? b) How do ”open” categories of identity (spending evenings out with friends, popularity and school achievement) influence on what teenagers claim to spend their money on? c) What is the relative impact of “locked” vs. “open” categories of identity on teen consumption?

title: VALIDAD Pilot - Utvikling av et gyldig testbatteri for å evaluere kjøreegenskaper når en er påvirket av rusmidler, 2008

description: Road traffic safety is a significant issue for society. In the European Union there are approximately 45 000 traffic fatalities annually. The majority of these accidents are caused by human error, and the use of drugs (both prescribed and illegal compounds) is a significant contributor in this respect. Driver impairment caused by drugs may constitute a serious risk not only for the driver, but also for any other road user and bystander. The evaluation of risk increase with respect to drug influence in road traffic accidents calls for detailed and validated information regarding driver performance. Such information is difficult to obtain by direct means, and relies to some extent on the use of laboratory models. These models' predictive ability may be questionable, and calls for validation procedures. In order to generate information about how prescribed drugs affect driving ability for legal and medical authorities, road authorities, and the general public, we propose to develop a valid test battery to predict driving performance under the influence of drugs. The test battery will be developed by means of an instrumented vehicle on a test track to validate the SINTEF/NTNU driving simulator. The latter exhibit a realistic road environment where traffic situations, including emergencies, can be presented. Driver drowsiness, swivelling, speed fluctuations, braking, acceleration, steering precision, reaction time etc. can be measured both in the driving simulator and the instrumented vehicle. Within the VALIDAD pilot study we will seek approval for all the planned studies within the main project. In addition a test battery will be developed and a study of driver performance under the influence of ethanol at different levels will be conducted.

title: Detrtial Zircon as a Tool in Stratigraphic Correlation and Sedimentary Provenance Analysis, 2008

description: From detailed analytical studies of detrital grains of the mineral zircon (ZrSiO4) in clastic sediments, it is possible to obtain unique information on the age, composition and petrogenesis of the rock(s) in which the zircons formed (the protosource). For any given sedimentary rock, chemical and isotopic data from a multi-grain population of single, detrital zircons analysed in this way provide a characteristic fingerprint (the provenance signature) which is important for stratigraphic correlation studies and for identification of the sources of clastic material. The project used quantitative data from detrital zircon grains and bulk rocks to 1) Develop isotope tools for stratigraphic correlation across basins and for provenance analysis. 2) Identify the provenance of the materials that the make up the sedimentary rocks. 3) Identify transport pathways. 4) Evaluate the mass-balance of clastic material deposited in a sedimentary basin. The research targets were the Mesozoic sedimentary rocks of the Barents Sea, where hydrocarbon exploration is now in its initial stages. Provenance studies (i.e. determining the source(s) the sediments were derived from) and stratigraphic correlation within the basin is of great importance for the understanding of basin evolution for practical petroleum exploration and development work. The project made full use of the new multicollector, plasma-source mass spectrometer laboratory at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo.

title: Adult life on special conditions? The journey into society for students with special accomodations in upper secondary education, 2002

description: The survey is a follow-up study to the project "Reform 94" on special accomodations in schools. "Reform 94" is financed by the Ministry of Church, Education and Research and connected to the research environment around Møreforsking AS and Volda University College. Through a total of seven rounds, data has been gathered on 760 especially accomodated students from upper secondary school in six counties. Data collection from parents/related persons is also conducted. In the follow-up survey I oppfølgingsstudien "Adult life on special conditions? The journey into society for students with special accomodations in upper secondary education", which this dataset is derived from, both extensive and intensive data were gathered. The fall of 2001, the former especially accomodated students were contacted by phone. For those who could not answer, both parents and other relatives were used as informants. The following year, one planned to conduct qualitative interviews with categories of adolescents concerning adaptations to adult life. The study concerns a broadly composed group of young people with different types and degrees og physical disabilities. Their education conditions have also been varying.

title: Learning Environment in Telenor Net Division Region Mid-Norway - A Study of Firms Learning Environment and Connections between Learning Environment and Personality Dimentions, 1996

description: A dissertation in pedagogy at NTNU. The main aim of the survey: contribute to bringing the informal education in relation to everyday tasks in Telenor NRM up to date. Three main questions are answered: 1) How the employees at Telenor NMR assess the firm's education environment; 2) What pattern of personality types and categories exists among the employees at Telenor NMR and in three selected units within the firm; 3) What connections there are between the Myers-Briggs categories and the employees assessment of the firms learning environment. A quality oriented description of the learning environment in Telenor NRM is offered (pros and cons). Also, representative personality types among the employees (Myers-Briggs) are described. At last, it has been carried through analysis to reveal whether employees personality culture(-type) affects how they assess their learning environment. The data can only be reused by project leader.

title: Future-oriented identity formation among adolescents in various childhood environments, 2004

description: Identity and life meaning are in adolescence - particularly in the (post) modern age - a central existential challenge which should also be the welfare state's responsibility. The project considered adolescents as rational and choosing agents, constructing their own lives, with or against societal norms. Simultaneously adolescents are targeted and guided by strong social structures and influences, partly politically controlled (like school), partly controlled market (such as media, fashion, culture industry). The project asks how youth participation and projects at various venues in and outside of school is related to their future-oriented identity and learning activities. The project also asks what is attractive/repulsive at school compared to other venues, and in this context the role of outwardly focused school projects can play compared to more inwardly directed assignments and teaching. The project will follow the adolescents at up to 10 strategically selected Norwegian schools/classes in urban and rural, North and South Norway through a 5-year period, starting with year 9. We hope to reveal both variability and change, similarities and relationships between childhood environments and adolescent future-oriented learning and identity work. School actualization of school external social phenomena and venues, various venues' importance in youth identity-building, and the role of school projects can play in this context, are key questions in the survey.

title: Supplementary Material for: Protective effects of Xanthohumol against diabetic nephropathy in a mouse model

description: Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a long-term loss of renal function occurring in the diabetic patients, leading to 5 million deaths in 2015, and this number is dramatically growing annually. Due to unsatisfied outcome of current treatment, there is urgent need to develop more effective therapeutic drugs for DN. Methods: Approximately 150 kinds of natural small molecule drugs that have been used on the market or in the clinical trials in the presence of high glucose were tested individually on the same batch of human renal glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) and human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells with triplicated wells by using a robotic pipetting workstation to screen for the potential drug candidate. Cell viability and oxidative stress were examined in the GECs and HK-2 cells. DN mouse model was established and treated with 25 mg/kg Xanthohumol. Results: By measuring cell viability, Xanthohumol was selected as our predicted drug candidate for DN because it could mostly protect renal cells from high glucose with about 90% survived GECs and HK-2 cells, about 2.12- and 2.37-fold increase compared to glucose group which was with 42.78% and 37.69% survived GECs and HK-2 cells, respectively. Then, Xanthohumol inhibited high glucose-induced oxidative stress through nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway in vitro. Moreover, Xanthohumol (25 mg/kg) significantly decreased the levels of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, urea protein and kidney weight/body weight ratio in DN mice. In addition, the increase of reactive oxygen species production, and the decrease of superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in DN mice were partially reversed by Xanthohumol. mRNA levels of Nrf2, Hmox1, Nqol genes were all decreased by Xanthohumol DN mice. Discussion/Conclusion: Xanthohumol could ameliorate DN-related impairments via Nrf2 signaling pathway, which might serve as a promising drug candidate for treatment of DN.
