Regarding these issues, it is relevant to seek a contextualized understanding that explores the psychosocial health connected to everyday life and to broader societal structures among young girls.
The impact of social and environmental extremes on cholera time varying reproduction number in Nigeria
2022
AbstractNigeria currently reports the second highest number of cholera cases in Africa, with numerous socioeconomic and environmental risk factors.

To address this gap, we used a machine learning approach to understand the risks and thresholds for cholera outbreaks and extreme events, taking into consideration pre-existing vulnerabilities. We estimated time varying reproductive number (R) from cholera incidence in Nigeria and used a machine learning approach to evaluate its association with extreme events (conflict, flood, drought) and pre-existing vulnerabilities (poverty, sanitation, …

Materialities matter : An exploration of supported housing for people with mental health problems

En annen kompetanse? Den norske dosenten i et kriterie- og kompetanseperspektiv
2020
This chapter explores the criteria for promotion to docent (dosent in Norwegian), a variant of the professor position. The criteria are based on a different path of qualification to a top academic position where neither a PhD nor a specific number of referee-assessed research articles are required. Four questions are discussed in the chapter: 1) What characterizes the docent position? 2) What kinds of competence does a docent possess? 3) Why do academic institutions need docents? 4) Do the flexible interpretations of the promotion criteria represent challenges? The authors’ answers to these questions show that docents are expected to possess a wider repertoire of competences than a professo…
