Towards a legal standard? Human rights in Norwegian businesses : A case study on how cooperation between non-governmental organizations and business …

2021

Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT505) In 2011, the United Nations endorsed the UNGP principles developed by Harvard professor John Ruggie. The “protect, respect and remedy” framework has become an international standard for business conduct considering human rights. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for human rights violations to happen in relation to global production. For many years, civil society organizations in Norway have campaigned for legislation to be implemented, where the Norwegian government has responded that voluntary business practice is more effective. Since 2018, Etikkinformasjonsutvalget has investigated if there a need for a human rights law in Norweg…

Association between Intake of Energy and Macronutrients and Memory Impairment Severity in US Older Adults, National Health and Nutrition Examination …

2020

Without a cure, dementia affects about 50 million people worldwide. Understanding the effects of dietary habits, a key lifestyle behavior, on memory impairment is critical to inform early behavioral modification to delay further memory loss and progression to dementia. We examined the associations of total energy intake and energy intake from macronutrients with memory impairment among older US adults using data from the nationally representative National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey study 2011&ndash

Ligneous Cervicitis in a Woman With Plasminogen Deficiency Associated With an Atypical Form of Microglandular Hyperplasia

2013

A 19-yr-old woman with previously diagnosed clear cell adenocarcinoma was referred to the Charité for further treatment. Biopsies were taken from the cervix, the endometrium, pseudomembranes in the peritoneum, and sentinel lymph nodes. The morphologic picture of pseudomembranes and inflammation together with the provided information about plasminogen deficiency of the patients led to the hypothesis of ligneous cervicitis. The previously taken biopsies of the adenocarcinoma were reevaluated and showed a clear cell lesion. Further immunohistochemical examination with antibodies against p16, Ki67, CEA, and p53 could not prove its malignant character. As a result we diagnosed an atypical form o…

En statlig norm for livsfortolkning : en analyse av debatten om "Felles ekteskapslov for heterofile og homofile par” ved hjelp av Robert C. Nevilles …

Avhandling for graden doctor philosophiae Universitetet i Agder, Fakultet for humaniora og pedagogikk In this study, the process leading up to the adoption of the Norwegian Same-sex marriage laws is taken as an example of how normativity is institutionalized in a field related to the religious dimensions of life, in a pluralized society. A comparative analysis of interpretations of the personal identity and the norm for the primary human affiliation in three categories of documents is performed, based on Robert Cumming Neville’s hypothesis of theology as symbolic engagement. These documents are (1) The UN Convention of the Rights of the Child and Norwegian family laws, (2) the governmental …

How the General Data Protection Regulation affects Health Information System innovation : An explorative study of General Data Protection Regulation …

2020

Master's thesis in Information systems (IS501) Thereisa growing demand for health information systems (HIS)innovation to address the challenges of delivering better quality and more efficient healthcare. Atthe same time, innovations must adhere to increasingly strictprivacy regulations especially related to personal health data.While prior research has indicated that privacy regulation can have both constraining and stimulating effects on innovation in general, there is a knowledge gap on how privacy regulation affects HIS innovation specifically. In this master thesis, westudy the effects the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)haveon HIS innovation, and the responses of the health se…

Boligstrukturen i norske byer og tettsteder i 1970

2009

Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon - Universitetet i Agder 2009 Hensikten med oppgaven er å se hvilke faktorer som påvirker boligstrukturen i norske byer og tettsteder. Jeg ønsker deretter å se om disse faktorene kan brukes til å predikere fremtidig boligstruktur. I oppgaven beskriver jeg en boligstruktur modell for en monosentrisk by. Denne modellen er utgangspunktet for mine antakelser i oppgaven og hypotesene jeg tester. I 2006 ble det skrevet en siviløkonomoppgave ved Høgskolen i Agder som omhandlet boligstrukturen i norske byer og tettsteder i 2001. Jeg har i denne oppgaven tatt utgangspunkt i tall fra 1970, men forsøkt å få tallmaterialet så sammenlignbart som mulig med den tid…

Human Fetal Aorta Contains Vascular Progenitor Cells Capable of Inducing Vasculogenesis, Angiogenesis, and Myogenesis in Vitro and in a Murine Model …

2007

Vasculogenesis, the formation of blood vessels in embryonic or fetal tissue mediated by immature vascular cells (ie, angioblasts), is poorly understood. We report the identification of a population of vascular progenitor cells (hVPCs) in the human fetal aorta composed of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells that coexpress endothelial and myogenic markers. Under culture conditions that promoted cell differentiation, hVPCs gave rise to a mixed population of mature endothelial and mural cells when progenitor cells were stimulated with vascular endothelial growth factor-A or platelet-derived growth factor-betabeta. hVPCs grew as nonadherent cells and, when embedded in a three-dimensional collagen…

Heart infarct in NOD-SCID mice: therapeutic vasculogenesis by transplantation of human CD34+ cells and low dose CD34+KDR+ cells

2004

Hematopoietic (Hem) and endothelial (End) lineages derive from a common progenitor cell, the hemangioblast: specifically, the human cord blood (CB) CD34+KDR+ cell fraction comprises primitive Hem and End cells, as well as hemangioblasts. In humans, the potential therapeutic role of Hem and End progenitors in ischemic heart disease is subject to intense investigation. Particularly, the contribution of these cells to angiogenesis and cardiomyogenesis in myocardial ischemia is not well established. In our studies, we induced myocardial infarct (MI) in the immunocompromised NOD-SCID mouse model, and monitored the effects of myocardial transplantation of human CB CD34+ cells on cardiac function.…
