Infralow neurofeedback in the treatment of substance use disorders: a randomized controlled trial
2022
Background Infralow neurofeedback (ILF-NF) was recently developed as a subtype of traditional, frequency-based neurofeedback that targets cerebral rhythmic activity below 0.5 Hz and improves brain self-regulation. The efficacy of ILF-NF in the treatment of substance use disorder has not yet been evaluated, but clinical evidence suggests that it may prevent relapse by improving functioning in various life domains. The current study aimed to fill this research gap and extend empirical evidence related to this issue. Methods Ninety-three patients with substance use disorders at an outpatient unit in Norway were randomized to receive 20 sessions (30 minutes each) of ILF-NF training combined wit…
Ejaculation Disorders in Male Patients with Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prevalence
2021
PURPOSE: Ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD) and erectile dysfunction after cancer treatment are clinically important complications, but their exact prevalence by various kinds of cancer site and type of treatment is unknown. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the available evidence and provide pooled estimates for prevalence of EjD and erectile dysfunction in relation to all cancer sites and identify characteristics associated with EjD in cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of cross-sectional and case-control studies. We searched 4 electronic databases (Medline®, CINAHL, PsychInfo and Embase®) until July 22, 2…

The balancing act of combining school and football in the transition from a non-professional club into junior-elite academy football
2021
Football players in the transition from junior-to-senior are usually involved in dual careers, combining school and football – a process that makes them dependent on a holistic talent-development journey. The aim of the current study was to describe how male junior elite football players (N=10; 5=living at home, 5=living away from home) perceived stressors in the transition from a non-professional club into a junior elite academy. Furthermore, the school transition (between lower- and upper-secondary school) and social transition (based on the school and football transitions) as a consequence of the football transition into academy football. Based on Wylleman and Lavallee’s (2004) and Stamb…

Markens døde : forbrytelse og straff i Hamsuns Markens grøde
2011
Author's version of an article published in the journal: Edda. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/edda/2011/02/art12 Artikkelen tar for seg Knut Hamsuns engasjement for å bekjempe barnedrap i Norge, et engasjement som kom tydeligst til uttrykk i den såkalte barnemorddebatten (1915-1916) og i romanen Markens Grøde (1917). I debattinnleggene retter Hamsun sterk kritikk mot både forbryterske mødre og milde dommere, og argumenterer for gjeninnføring av dødsstraff som kriminalpreventivt virkemiddel. I romanen videreføres kritikken, men her skildres barnemorderne Inger og Barbro på en mer nyansert måte. Begge reintegreres i det sosiale livet i marken. Romanen representer…
Development and testing of a net-based resource to guide teachers in assisting students with mental health challenges
2021
Master's thesis in Multimedia and educational technology (MM506) This thesis will seek answers to what extent teachers are properly equipped when helping students with mental health problems, how a net-based resource can assist teachers in handling this challenge, and what approaches teachers recommend for an easy-to-use net-based resource. We iteratively prototyped a net-based resource called Tankeverk.no using a Human-Centered Design (HCD) approach by involving key stakeholders, experts, health personal, and teachers. The prototype combined with the in-depth interviews and questionnaires gave insights into the relevance, quality, and user acceptance of our solution. The vast majority of t…
The magic in the (extra)ordinary: Intensive validation to recalibrate the life-worlds of adolescents exposed to abuse
2022
This qualitative case study aimed to explore environmental circumstances and inter-actional processes that appeared to be relevant for the dynamics of resilience in ado-lescents exposed to child abuse. Fieldwork at a learning and coping centre forchildren and their families was combined with semi-structured interviews with ado-lescent participants aged 12 to 18 years. A critical realist approach was used tounpack what has been called the‘ordinary magic’of resilience. We found thatinten-sively validating qualitiesof both theenvironmentandrelationshipsseemed to be driv-ing components for resilience. Borrowing ideas from the sociometer theory, wepropose that particularly the consistent intensi…
Ethical realism before social constructionism
2021
In this article, I explore the idea that there is a fundamental ethical aspect that precedes social constructionism. I suggest that within social constructionism we can identify a development from seeing knowledge as socially constructed ( epistemological social constructionism) to seeing not only knowledge, but also corporeal ways of being as socially constructed ( ontological social constructionism). As a next step, I propose incorporating what I refer to as ethical realism in social constructionist perspectives. In the encounter with the other human being, I argue that there is a real ethical impulse that precedes social constructionism and puts it in motion. This impulse is real in the…
Barnet som aktør og kunnskapsbærer – en utfordring for barnevernets profesjonelle ekspertise
2010
Author's version of an article published in the journal: Norges Barnevern. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tnb/2010/03/art04 During recent years, it has become more and more common to consider children as competent participants in their own lives, also in the child protective services. This agrees with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and more recent research on children and childhood. That is to say that the child is seen as the expert on his own life, at the same time as the child protective services with their professional expertise have competence to say what is best for children. What does this imply and how can we understand the relation betwee…
