    • Vilkår for begrepsdannelse og praksis i psykiatri : en filosofisk undersøkelse 

      Wifstad, Åge (Others; Andre, 1996)
      Det begrensede siktemålet med denne avhandlingen, er å gi en oversikt over sentrale vilkår for psykiatrisk begrepsdannelse og praksis. En slik oversikt vil dog forhåpentligvis gjøre det enklere å bedømme hvilke spørsmål det er viktig å stille, i en klargjøring av psykiatriens potensiale som forvalter av intensjonen om lydhørhet overfor den Andres smerte.

      ”Når tvangen flyttes hjem i stua” Tvang overfor pasienter som bor hjemme erfares annerledes enn hvordan vi vanligvis tenker om tvang i psykisk helsevern, viser en ny studie fra UIT.

Pasienten kan hentes, eventuelt ...

    • Young adults and seafood : using the voice of consumers to develop new seafood product concepts aimed at increasing consumption 

      Altintzoglou, Themistoklis (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2010-09-24)
      Young adults do not eat seafood frequently enough because they lack knowledge about the preparation of a quick and easy meal with seafood.

The first survey study showed a positive association between health involvement, attitudes towards seafood ...
