      Pitts, Brent A.; Grange, Huw R. (Book; Bok, 2022)
      A silver-tongued assassin, a motherly prophetess, a consecrated strongman unable to resist the charms of foreign women: the Anglo-Norman Bible’s Book of Judges features a roll-call of unlikely heroes. At the book’s core is a cycle of saviour stories. Twelve times the Israelites embrace foreign gods, succumb to neighbouring enemies, repent and are delivered by a ‘judge’.

    • Garbage codes in the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry 1996-2019 

      Ellingsen, Christian Lycke; Alfsen, Glenny Cecilie; Ebbing, Marta; Pedersen, Anne Gro; Sulo, Gerhard; Vollset, Stein Emil; Braut, Geir Sverre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-07)
      Background: Reliable statistics on the underlying cause of death are essential for monitoring the health in a population. When there is insufcient information to identify the true underlying cause of death, the death will be classifed using less informative codes, garbage codes. If many deaths are assigned a garbage code, the information value of the cause-of-death statistics is reduced. The aim ...

      Höper, Anje Christina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      I dette nummeret tar vi for oss prosjektarbeid i arbeids medisin som tema, med spesiell vekt på prosjekter I BHT. Men hva er egentlig prosjektarbeid?

    • Forskning i BHT 

      Skandfer, Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Arbeidsmedisinsk forskning må være relevant og svare på aktuelle utfordringer i samfunnet. Slik kommer faget fremover. Gjennom forankring i praksis kan nye problemstillinger fanges opp, hypoteser genereres og bedre løsninger skapes. Det inngår i et større bilde der økt samhandling mellom akademia og praksis etterspørres av myndighetene og aktørene selv. Det gjelder forøvrig også mange andre ...

      In this paper, we explore how existential aspects of being diagnosed and living with cancer are shared in stories that are publicly communicated online. Through a narrative analysis of online texts and blogs, we explore how people deal with their cancer experiences, how cultural norms about illness are expressed in their stories and why they write and publish their stories online. We found that the ...
