Seminar series The Centre for Nutrition, Wednesday March 20th

The Centre for Nutrition at UiB invites to a new seminar in the series of lectures on nutrition. The series addresses key challenges in nutrition and health.

Time: Wednesday March 20th at 13.30-15.30

Venue: Auditorium 4, BB Building, Jonas Lies vei

Dietary assessment: Challenges and future directions & Biomarkers for dietary intake
Speakers: Dr. Sharon Kirkpatrick and professor Jutta Dierkes

Dietary assessment: Challenges and future directions
In nutritional research, we depend on self-reported dietary data to be able to study associations between diet and health. These data have many limitations, and it is challenging to gather precise dietary data. Several investigators even clams that self-reported data is so unreliable that it cannot be used in research. But is it really the case?

Dr. Sharon Kirkpatrick leads a public health nutrition research program based at the School of Public Health and Health Systems at the University of Waterloo in Canada. Her research primarily focuses on understanding dietary patterns in populations and influences on these patterns, using a systems thinking lens to consider the array of factors at play. Dr. Kirkpatrick also has longstanding interests in food access among marginalized populations. She was named a Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate Analytics in 2017 and 2018, and has received merit awards from the National Institutes of Health and the University of Waterloo.

Biomarkers for dietary intake
Biomarkers for dietary intake could be a tool for limiting misclassification in nutrition research where self-reported dietary intake data are used, thus biomarkers are extensively used in research today. But are they reliable?

Jutta Dierkes is professor in Clinical Nutrition at the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Bergen. She is the chairman of the board of the Mohn Nutrition Research Lab, and also the chariman of the program committee for nutrition at the Faculty of Medicine.

Moderator: Hanne Rosendahl-Riise

There will be light refreshments.

Nutrition Care Process (NCP). Bruk i klinikk og forskning

Nutrition Care Process (NCP) er en arbeidsprosess og terminologi for klinisk ernæring. Metoden ble etablert i 2003 som et resultat av flere tiårs arbeid som startet i USA på 70-tallet. Dagens versjon har 1649 termer som er organisert i områdene kartlegging, ernæringsdiagnoser og ernæringsintervensjon. NCP er en systematisk prosess som beskriver hvordan kliniske ernæringsfysiologer utfører ernæringsbehandling og er utformet for å gi struktur og kvalitet av denne. NCP fremmer kritisk tenkning og er et verktøy for å måle resultat av ernæringsbehandling. Terminologien er like anvendelig i forskning som i klinisk arbeid.

Lene Thoresen er klinisk ernæringsfysiolog ved Kreftklinikken på St. Olavs hospital og har en bistilling på Nasjonal kompetansetjeneste for sykdomsrelatert underernæring, OUS. Hun leder Arbeidsgruppen for profesjonell praksis – terminologi og metode i Kliniske ernæringsfysiologers forening (KEFF), deltar i The International Nutrition Care Process and Terminology Implementation Survey (INIS) og er representert i «Faglig referansegruppe for helsefaglige kodeverk. Indremedisin og ikke-kirurgiske fagområder», Direktoratet for eHelse. Siden 2018 har hun ledet Programgruppen for klinisk ernæringsfysiologutdanningen i Kunnskapsdepartementet.

Introduction course on mainstreaming of gender perspectives in medical research

SKOK offers a three-hour course on gender perspectives in research. The course invites reflection on how analytical gender perspectives can be integrated into both on-going medical research and in future project development.

The inclusion of gender perspectives is gaining increasing importance in the evaluation of research quality – both with regards to project applications and the research itself. For example, both the Research Council of Norway and the European Union aim for projects to not only have gender balance, but also for gender perspectives to be an integral part of their research questions, methodology and analysis. Analytical and multidisciplinary approaches to gender can therefore contribute to strengthen project applications and provide new perspectives that enhance the quality of the research.

This course gives an introduction to the gender politics of external funding agencies, and to how gender perspectives can be integrated into ongoing research and future project applications.  The course emphasises in particular examples from medical research.

Time and venue: 6 November 10.00 – 13.00, board room (styrerommet), 4th floor, Armauer Hansens hus

Registration deadline: 2 November, send your registration to Amra.  

Seminar content:

1.      Welcome and presentations of participants

2.      Get an overview over EU and NFR policy on the integration of gender perspectives  and gender equality in research.

3.      Gain insights on different meanings of gender, and on central concepts. 

4.      Reflect  on your own understandings of gender, and how it is reflected in your research projects.

11.30 – 12.00 Lunch

Migration Conference: Health in All We Do

15-16 November 2018, Bergen University Aula

Welcome to the UiB conference on migration health! The conference is organized by the University of Bergen in collaboration with Norwegian Centre for Migration and Minority Health (NAKMI), the University of Oslo and the Norwegian Directorate of Health.

Registration deadline: 15 October, 2018

The conference will be a meeting place where researchers, representatives from health services, volunteer actors and users enter into dialogue and actively listen to each other’s messages and experiences. Large gaps between research results, practice and patient needs can lead to unequal health care and poor health outcomes for some immigrant groups.

Research on “migration and health” has increased in scope in recent years, but there is little collaboration between academic disciplines, but also between health institutions nationally. Our vision is to provide politicians and the society with relevant, useful and up-to-date information that can help improve health care for all, including immigrants.
