title: General Attitudes Towards Punishment, 2009

description: «General Attitudes Towards Punishment, 2009» is part of the larger project «Attitudes Towards Punishment in Nordic Countries», which was carried out in Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Sweden in 2009. The study had two purposes: investigate general attitudes to punishment in the adult population, as well as form the basis for a selection of focus group members who have about the same attitudinal perceptions as the adult population. The survey was conducted as a computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) by Norstat (following instructions from Opinion AS). To investigate the attitudes of the population towards punishment, six questions were asked in connection with this study, plus some background information on those interviewed.

title: Punishment in Specific Cases - Post Survey, 2009

description: "Punishment in specific cases - Postsurvey, 2009" is part of the larger project "Attitudes Towards Punishment in Nordic Countries", which was carried out in Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Sweden in 2009. The purpose of the project was to investigate what penalties people think are appropriate for different crimes in the Nordic countries, whether there are systematic differences between the Nordic countries in people's perceptions of what is appropriate punishment for different crimes and whether there are systematic differences internally in the Nordic countries between the punishment practiced and the punishment that people think is appropriate for different crimes. The project consists of structured quantitative data obtained by the respondents answering a questionnaire with three questions about punishment for each criminal case, a total of six cases described in the questionnaire (the same form used in focus groups). In addition, the respondents answered a few questions about themselves (gender, age, marital status, county of residence, degree of urbanization of the place of residence).

title: Punishment in Specific Cases - Focus Groups, 2009

description: "Punishment in Specific Cases - Focus groups" is part of the larger project "Attitudes Towards Punishment in Nordic Countries" which is a joint project that was planned and implemented in Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Sweden in 2009. The purpose of focus groups was to gain greater insight into how people who have no occupational or educational associations with the criminal justice system think or argue if they should justify why they think a particular punishment is "appropriate" as punishment for a specific criminal offense. In a group context, each participant should state the punishment he / she considered appropriate and justify his or her choice of punishment. Participants discussed the reasons that should be given when deciding appropriate punishment in a specific criminal case. As an introduction to the discussion, the group watched a short DVD movie (15 - 25 minutes) of a court hearing on a criminal case.

title: Sensing of HIV-1 by TLR8 Activates Human T Cells and Reverses, 2019

description: FRIMEDBIO project 2013-2018. Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is a global health problem. At the same time, epidemiological data show that the incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection with opportunistic M. avium is increasing, especially in countries where tuberculosis is not endemic and in people with impaired immune systems. The treatment of mycobacterial infections is complicated and long-lasting and there is increasing incidence of resistance. Therefore, there is a great need for new and more effective treatment. In this project, the main objective has been to understand the molecular mechanisms that the macrophage uses in an attempt to eliminate mycobacteria and, conversely, how the mycobacteria bypass these and take up residence in the macrophage. We have also used the knowledge we have from research on innate immune responses to mycobacteria to study similar responses in T cells and the importance of HIV infection.

title: The GTA Project: Games and Transgressive Aesthetics, 2019

description: Digital games are often criticized for their many and exaggerated portrayals of violence, and also for their stereotypical representations of gender. But how are such descriptions experienced while playing? How violent or gender stereotypical can a game situation be before players find it speculative or tasteless? And when are game situations experienced as satire or parody? What is appropriate to include in a digital game, and what does the activity of play and the game situation do to the interpretation of controversial content? The project Games and Transgressive Aesthetics explores controversial game content theoretically and through qualitative empirical studies that stress how such content is experienced by players while playing games. Central to the project is finding an explanatory framework that focuses on the player’s experiences of controversial content in digital games, and that takes into account that different players may have radically different viewpoints of what they find controversial. How does playing transform the experience of controversial game content? When is game content perceived as unproblematic for players, and when does it transgress the border into the speculative or repulsive? And in what situations is such content seen as challenging and critical, and able to make players reflect? Questions such as these connect the project to debates about subjective perceptions of aesthetics and taste, games as art and medium, and about ethics and freedom of expression. For further information about ”The GTA Project: Games and Transgressive Aesthetics, 2019”, please contact the principal investigator.

title: Rusundersøkelsen 2017

description: In 2017, Statistics Norway (SSB) conducted the sixth round of the annual survey on drugs. The purpose is to survey the use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs in different groups of the population. The study will form the basis for measures and evaluation of drugs in the field of intoxicants. This year, the study was funded by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH). Formerly the National Institute for Substance Research (SIRUS) began with the survey in 2012. SIRUS is now part of FHI and has taken responsibility for the study there. Since 2016, FHI has been working with Statistics Norway on the survey. The survey is made up of modules with questions. A fixed set of questions identifies the use of various drugs and tobacco. In addition, there is a group of questions that are asked every three years. In 2017, there was a module with questions about attitudes to tobacco, alcohol, and drug policy.Interview time varies by age and consumption. For example, questions about the use of all narcotics and performance-enhancing drugs are asked only to persons aged 16 to 64 years.In 2017, the survey had an interview time of about 20 minutes. In 2013, the same modules had an average interview time of 25 minutes.

title: Distribution of Umbilical Glucose Supply to Fetal Liver and Systemic Organs. The Role of Umbilical Vein Glucose Concentration Versus Umbilical Vein Flow, 2015

description: This research project is based on a cross-sectional study including 124 healthy pregnant women who were delivered by elective cesarean section. Immediately before surgery blood flow in the umbilical vein and ductus venosus were measured by ultrasound technique. Thereafter blood samples from the maternal and umbilical circulations were collected during surgery. These measurements gave us a unique opportunity to investigate how glucose concentration and/or blood flow in the umbilical vein influenced the distribution of flow to the fetal liver versus ductus venosus to the fetal systemic circulation. In addition we investigated how maternal prepregnant body mass index (ppBMI) and markers of fetal wellbeing, i.e. cerebral and umbilical blood flow resistance and fetal proportions in a normal population affected the distribution fetal flow to the liver versus systemic circulation. We found blood flow and not glucose concentration in the umbilical vein to correlate with distribution of flow to the liver versus systemic circulation. After dicitomicing in two maternal ppBMI groups (one normal weight and one overweight) we found maternal ppBMI group to affect this flow distribution. We therefore speculate that to assure both a sufficient glucose supply to brain and heart and stabile blood glucose levels, the amount of blood shunted through DV versus liver, UV blood flow seems to play a central role.

title: Religious Law and Everyday Life: Shifting Practices of Mahr (Islamic Dower) in Legal Pluralistic Norway, 2019

description: This research project examines the challenges that the combination of state law and the practice of religious legal issues represent in a welfare state like Norway, where the relationship between state and religious law is being redefined. Mahr holds socio-economic importance for the individual, the couple, the family and society at large, and is entangled in the everyday life through marriage. The practice of mahr will serve as an entry into ongoing religious developments, but also the state of legal pluralism in Norway. The concept of everyday religion provides the analytical backdrop of this project, and a gateway towards the study of the many aspects connected to mahr. This project will account for current research gaps by analysing legal and religious developments in a comprehensive manner through the lenses of everyday religion and legal pluralism in Norwegian society. The added value of applying an everyday approach to the study of mahr lies in the perspectives generated on the complexities of law and religion. The project assumes a multidisciplinary approach combining theory and methods from history of religions, legal studies and gender research, merging in a new methodology studying the impact of law and religion on daily life and vice versa. Through a triangular analysis of (1) legal texts and documents, (2) qualitative in-depth interviews with young Norwegian Muslim couples who plan to or have just married, and (3) a comparative examination of debates in Muslim minority and majority contexts, the project will generate theoretical, methodological and empirical analyses of the interplay between everyday religion and legal pluralism in the Norwegian context that until now remain unmapped. In order to fully realise what it means when religious practices are incorporated and considered in the Norwegian legal system, there is a need to understand the complex ways religion and law intersect in the everyday life.

title: Election Survey among Immigrants and Others, 2017

description: The Election Survey of persons with immigrant background in 2017 was conducted in the fall of 2017. The purpose of the survey was to describe immigrants and Norwegian-born with immigrant parents' participation in elections. The survey provides knowledge of the target group's role in Norwegian democracy with a focus on various forms of participation. The survey is funded through Statistics Norway's framework agreement on immigrant-related statistics. 15,740 persons have been drawn to the survey from the Population Register, of which respondents with an immigrant background are over-represented. The selection was later checked against the electoral number. The survey was conducted as a web survey. We obtained an interview with 35 percent of the sample. The main reason why we did not get a response from everyone is that we did not get in touch with all the people in the sample during the data collection period.

title: TROPICO - WP3: Transformation on Individual Drivers and Barriers for Collaboration, 2018

description: Work Package 3 of the TROPICO project aims at explaining what drives public servants' willingness to collaborate with the private sector in Belgium, Estonia, Germany, Norway and Spain. That was done through a series of discrete choice experiments in which realistic scenarios of collaboration with the private sector was manipulated. In the discrete choice experiments, civil servants from Belgian, Estonian, German, Norwegian and Spanish municipalities were asked to choose, between two for-profit enterprises, the one that should become the new collector of bulky waste. The for-profit enterprises were described in terms of price and environmental, innovative and social criteria. The questionnaire also required civil servants to give information on the way bulky waste is collected in their municipality, their attitudes towards public procurement as well as their socio-demographics.
