Abstract: The article is based on a study of a local council in Australia where women representatives hold a majority of the seats. How do these representatives understand their role in this context? What is their preferred style of doing politics, and what can explain their political aims and behaviour? What we find is that these women representatives are oriented toward green politics and prefer deliberative decision-making. This case study of a local council in Queensland suggests that the political objectives and style of women representatives largely reflect the specific local context, the electoral system and the political composition of the council, and not just the fact that women hold more than 70% of the seats. However, women representatives do feel that “numbers matter” for their ability to be acting out “who they are” in politics. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/4448 File(s) in this item: 1

Abstract: Norge har, i likhet med flere andre stater i den vestlige verden, investert betydelige beløp på innføring av informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi (IKT) i helsesektoren. Til tross for politisk optimisme viser forskning at mange teknologiprosjekter feiler. Forklaringene på feilslåtte teknologiprosjekter er mange og til dels ulike. Det er likevel en klar tendens til å kategorisere IKT-utfordringene enten som teknologiske eller som organisatoriske. Denne artikkelen viser at det er mer til saken med å forstå utfordringene med bruk av IKT. Med utgangspunkt i en empirisk analyse av hvordan telemedisin både blir brukt og ikke tatt i bruk i svangerskaps- og fødselsomsorgen argumenterer Dyb for hvordan en materiellsemiotisk tilnærming er et godt inntak til å belyse mangfoldet i hva som skjer når ny teknologi blir innført i helsesektoren. Til slutt drøfter hun hvordan en materiellsemiotisk tilnærming dermed også er et godt inntak til refleksjoner omkring helsepolitiske teknologiforståelser.

Abstract: This report, which summarizes some of the key results of the research and analysis conducted during the CIMIC Requirements and Education in Norway (CREN) project at the University of Tromsø, wishes to contribute to opening a dialogue on Norway’s approach to civil-military interaction. The CREN project has also resulted in a soon-to-be-published book which goes into greater detail regarding the complexities of the civil-military interface which defies quick-fix solutions or policy mantras. The CREN Project had as its primary objective to assess education and training capabilities in civil-military interaction broadly speaking, and NATO CIMIC (Civil-Military Cooperation) in particular, in Norway. The main finding of this 4 year research project is that the Norwegian policy regarding civil-military interaction, expressed as the “Norwegian model”, has significantly reduced but not improved the civil-military interaction capacity within the Norwegian military, which in turn has not led to any significant focus in training and education in this field. This report is not meant to be a final word on the subject, but is rather meant as a springboard that can open up a very complex discussion about the future of interactions between militaries and civilians. What can be concluded however, is that reducing competency for any actor in this area, and not least the military, is not an answer. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/3986 File(s) in this item: 1

Abstract: Since the end of the Cold War, a flourishing network of collaboration has grown up between Russia and neighbouring Nordic countries in the European North, especially Norway. The Barents Euro-Arctic Region (BEAR) was established in 1993 by several North European states and regional administrative entities in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Its aim is to promote relations across the old East-Westdivide in the European North, and enable joint projects in a number of areas, including trade and industry, student exchange and indigenous issues. In addition,Russia and Norway are pursuing various bilateral schemes focused on a particular problem or challenge in the North. One of them is the Joint Norwegian-Russian Fisheries Commission, which manages the valuable fish resources in the Barents Sea.In various bilateral and multilateral partnerships, Norway is working to address the environmental problems on the Kola Peninsula. This article gives a brief overview of these cooperative arrangements. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/4879 File(s) in this item: 1

Abstract: Denne rapporten er en analyse av historier skrevet i løpet av høsten 2004, i samband med et kulturutviklingsprosjekt ved et norsk foretak i finansbransjen. Narrativ metode ble benyttet i utviklingsprosessen. Materialet besto av 68 historier fra foretakets ulike avdelinger, og oppdraget som medarbeiderne ble gitt, var å ”gi en ærlig beskrivelse av kvaliteten i egen avdeling”. Under kulturutviklingsprosjektet tok foretaket selv ansvar for å behandle materialet og trekke de nødvendige konklusjonene. Hensikten med min rapport var å gi en uavhengig analyse som foretaket kunne sammenligne egne konklusjoner med. Slik sett kunne dette karakteriseres som en ”second opinion studie”.

Abstract: This article relates to the fast growing research literature on innovation by adopting a phenomenological perspective of change and how change comes about. We visited nineteen farms in Norway in a project on farm-based tourism. Results show highly differentiated products but similar routes in transforming a farm no longer seen as economically viable, into a way of doing life and doing work that brings a complex of considerations together. The concept of imaginative horizons is used and seen as characteristic of the transformative process of turning the farm into a farm based tourist enterprise. The same transformation becomes a way of keeping the relationship and interdependence between the past and the present vivid and meaningful.

Abstract: Boka er en institusjonssosiologisk studie av en anstalt i Stavanger kommune. Undersøkelsen bygger på protokoller og journaler fra anstalten, offentlige dokumenter, avisartikler og intervjuer med sentrale aktører. Undersøkelsens formål er å vise hvordan ulike prinsipper for behandling av sosial nød nedfeller seg i en konkret organisasjon. Det er særlig lagt vekt på å vise hvorledes "omsorg" og "kontroll" søkes kombinert i ett program for behandling av sosiale avvik. Et annet formål med studien er å gi en analyse av ulike betingelser for endringer i et sosialpolitisk tiltak. En av hovedkonklusjonene i det foreliggende arbeid er at de ideologiske grunntrekkene har vært de samme gjennom hele anstaltens eksistens, til tross for at det samtidig har skjedd store endringer på det sosialpolitiske området nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Gruppen av innsatte har samtidig endret seg betydelig over tid. Dette tyder på at anstalten har hatt stor evne til å ta fatt på nye kontrolloppgaver etter som definisjonen av problempanoramaet i samfunnet endret seg. Det samme program er benyttet til å behandle en rekke ulike samfunnsmessige avvik og nødstilstander. Slik framstår anstalten som både uforanderlig og fleksibel. Undersøkelsen avsluttes med å reise spørsmål om de funksjoner som ble ivaretatt av den anstalten som her er beskrevet, nå er overlatt andre og mer moderne sosial-politiske ordninger.

Abstract: Målgruppa for denne rapporten er ledere i offentlig sektor med ansvar for kompetanseutvikling på ulike nivåer, spesielt ledelsesutvikling i kommunene. Videre retter rapporten seg mot aktører som arbeider med kompetanseutvikling i offentlig sektor. En tredje målgruppe er arbeidsgiverorganisasjoner i det offentlige som bistår kommunene i tariffspørsmål. Rapporten anviser en mulig framgangsmåte for å ivareta kravene i Hovedavtalens § 7 på en systematisk måte. Rapporten dokumenterer en modell som i praksis har vist seg å fungere godt overfor en kommune i endring. Modellen ble utviklet av Høgskolen i Tromsø som grunnlag for et kompetanseutviklingsprogram for virksomhetsledere i Lenvik kommune i perioden 2002-2004. Modellen kombinerer formell utdanning og kompetanseutvikling i (den kommunale) organisasjonen og forutsetter visse organisatoriske rammer. Modellen kan kopieres helt eller delvis av andre kompetansetilbydere, men må modifiseres til den konkrete situasjonen som en aktuell oppdragsgiver (kommune) befinner seg i.

Abstract: This article discusses what role(s) member governments want the Arctic Council to have in Arctic affairs. It compares the foreign policies of the five littoral states of the Arctic Ocean: Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia, and the United States. It identifies and examines three determining debates on a ministerial level over the Arctic Council and the issues it might address: The first debate preceded the Arctic Council's creation in 1996; the second thrived as the five Arctic littoral states convened in Ilulissat, Greenland in 2008; and the third followed a political shift inthe United States in 2009.

Abstract: In this article, I explore the communication in an online self-help group for Norwegian women with breast cancer, aiming to add further knowledge to the question of whether the online context functions as a “liberating realm” for alternative discourses about illness. My analysis is conducted within an action oriented frame and is based on participant observation of the online communication and qualitative interviews of women who participated in the group. Based on the analysis, I argue that proposals of a replication of dominating offline discourses in online communication are affirmed. More precisely, the argument is that a “socially desirable” story about the cancer “hero” was further circulated in this online context, and that experiences of resignation and meaninglessness were not woven into the communication. Offering some reflections on this process, I suggest that it has active and voluntary aspects that need attention in further research.

Abstract: This article aims to provide more insight into advantages and challenges of conducting action research with the intention to improve health care. Action research is distinctive in the sense that the researcher has a dual role as both researcher and implementer of the program studied. The article is based on two Norwegian action-oriented studies that aimed to explore the potential role of online self-help groups for breast cancer patients and adolescents with mentally ill parents respectively. We argue that action research can contribute both to the generation of knowledge, as well as a greater sense of ownership to the program among those who are intended to use it. Nonetheless, a potential conflict between the researcher's pursuit of data, and ethical considerations became apparent in the contexts studied here. Bearing these challenges in mind, we still conclude that action research offers an important contribution for the further development of health care services.

Abstract: Online self-help groups multiply peoples' possibilities to exchange information and social support. Such possibilities are expected to be of crucial value for the 'new' healthcare user. However, similar to experiences from face-to-face based groups, studies of online self-help groups report high drop-out rates. Knowledge about why this happens is scarce. By means of qualitative interviews and participant observation, this article examines non-participation and withdrawal from an online self-help group for Norwegian breast cancer patients. Five conditions are identified as barriers to use; a need to avoid painful details about cancer, not being 'ill enough' to participate, the challenge of establishing a legitimate position in the group, the organisation of everyday life and illness phases that did not motivate for self-help group participation. I suggest that an adoption of the biomedical explanation model represents an important background for this pattern, an argument which contrasts prominent assumptions about the new healthcare user who does not accept the biomedical 'restitution story' in her efforts to make sense of an illness. A further suggestion is that experiences of self-help groups as arenas for successful coping need to be further considered as a barrier to use.
