School spending and extension of the youth voting franchise: Quasi-experimental evidence from Norway
Get PDFThis paper provides quasi-experimental evidence from Norway on the relationship between local government school spending and the age composition of the electorate. We exploit a reduction in the minimum voting age from 18 to 16 years in selected local governments in the 2011 local election and a difference in differences strategy to estimate causal effects on compulsory school spending. The results do not support the hypothesis that newly enfranchised young voters prefer higher compulsory school spending. Instead, the numerical estimates on school spending point toward negative impacts. Since the newly enfranchised voters had just finished compulsory school and will not receive any direct benefit from compulsory school spending, the absence of positive effects is broadly consistent with the hypothesis that the new young voters behave selfishly. Further research with other types of data is needed to confirm this interpretation.School spending and extension of the youth voting franchise: Quasi-experimental evidence from NorwaypublishedVersio

Longitudinal relations between gaming, physical activity, and athletic self-esteem
Get PDFBackground: Youth are increasingly engaged in digital games; while physical activity rates are declining. This study examines whether the amount of time children spend on gaming is related to physical activity and athletic self-esteem. Method: At ages 8, 10, 12, and 14, a community sample of children (n = 751, 379 girls) was interviewed about how often they played digital games, completed questionnaires regarding their athletic self-esteem and wore an accelerometer to measure physical activity. Results: A random intercept cross-lagged panel model using the participants as their own controls adjusting for all time-invariant potential confounding factors, revealed that increased gaming predicted reduced athletic self-esteem (B = −0.17, 95% CI: 0.26 to −0.10). Among boys aged 10 years, increased moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) predicted decreased gaming (B = −0.64, 95% CI: 1.12 to −0.16) whereas increased gaming predicted reduced MVPA at the age of 12 (B = −0.08, 95% CI: 0.12 to −0.03). These effects remained evident two years later via stability in gaming and MVPA. Conclusions: Findings suggest a developmental window for boys in middle childhood during which changes in physical activity and gaming result in longer-term cascades that endure into adolescence: increased gaming predicts reduced MVPA, whereas reduced MVPA predicts increased gaming.Longitudinal relations between gaming, physical activity, and athletic self-esteempublishedVersio

Evaluering av kompetanseløftet for spesialpedagogikk og inkluderende praksis : Delrapport 1
Get PDFDenne rapporten er den første delrapporten fra evalueringen og omhandler hva Kompetanseløftet er og hvordan arbeidet har foregått fram til nå. Vi identifiserer også noen områder som vi mener det er særlig viktig å være oppmerksomme på i det framtidige arbeidet med Kompetanseløftet og evalueringen. Rapporten er basert på intervjuer med representanter for statsforvalterne, spørreskjemadata og rapporteringer.Evaluering av kompetanseløftet for spesialpedagogikk og inkluderende praksis : Delrapport 1publishedVersio

The ReCoN intervention: a co-created comprehensive intervention for primary mental health care aiming to prevent involuntary admissions
Get PDFBackground: Reducing involuntary psychiatric admissions is a global concern. In Norway, the rate of involuntary admissions was 199 per 100,000 people 16 years and older in 2020. Individuals’ paths towards involuntary psychiatric admissions usually unfold when they live in the community and referrals to such admissions are often initiated by primary health care professionals. Interventions at the primary health care level can therefore have the potential to prevent such admissions. Interventions developed specifically for this care level are, however, lacking. To enhance the quality and development of services in a way that meets stakeholders’ needs and facilitates implementation to practice, involving both persons with lived experience and service providers in developing such interventions is requested. Aim: To develop a comprehensive intervention for primary mental health care aiming to prevent involuntary admis- sions of adults. Methods: This study had an action research approach with a participatory research design. Dialogue conferences with multiple stakeholders in five Norwegian municipalities, inductive thematic analysis of data material from the conferences, and a series of feedback meetings were conducted. Results: The co-creation process resulted in the development of the ReCoN (Reducing Coercion in Norway) interven- tion. This is a comprehensive intervention that includes six strategy areas: [1] Management, [2] Involving Persons with Lived Experience and Family Carers, [3] Competence Development, [4] Collaboration across Primary and Specialist Care Levels, [5] Collaboration within the Primary Care Level, and [6] Tailoring Individual Services. Each strategy area has two to four action areas with specified measures that constitute the practical actions or tasks that are believed to collectively impact the need for involuntary admissionspublishedVersio
The world as technology: always already conquered
Get PDFDenne artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i tre vidt forskjellige eksempler for slik å benevne og beskrive teknologisk erobring av verden som et avgjørende moment ved vår tid. Først ser vi på hvordan Nordsjøen og natur erobres av oljenæringen gjennom sikkerhetsstyring. Her ser vi helt konkret hvordan erobringen funderes i en objektivering av natur hvor en spesifikk form for kontroll skrives inn i sikkerhetsobjektene som produseres, og videre hvordan den objektiverte ankeroperasjonen og verden den utføres i slik stilles til bestilling og som ressurs for oljenæringen. Deretter går vi inn i barnevernets saksdannelser. Her ser vi hvordan den selvsamme logikken som er skrevet inn i sikkerhetsobjektene også grunnlegger hvordan og hvorfor barnevernet transformerer sårbare mennesker og situasjoner til saker med metafysisk avstand til både saksbehandlere og menneskene som sakene omhandler – en menneskeperifer erobring. Til slutt ser vi på organiseringen i miljøvernet, og hvordan et allerede erobret miljø bare kan vernes gjennom fremgang. Den teknologisk erobrede verden er ikke først og fremst av en epistemologisk, men ontologisk karakter. Det som ikke er teknologisk erobret, er ikke, mens det som er teknologisk erobret, fremstår som naturgitt. Derfor nedvurderes og utelukkes menneskelig skjønn: mennesket lar seg ikke erobre teknologisk. De ytterste konsekvensene av teknologisk erobring er at mennesket finnes ikke i teknologien og at verden alltid allerede er erobret.publishedVersio
