Businesses stand to benefit from sustainable restructuring

E-Mail The Earth is populated by an increasing number of people who demand more and more products, which is simply not viable in the long run. Our planet does not have unlimited resources. Emissions are harming the environment in various ways. More companies thus need to switch to more sustainable production, sometimes due to pressure from consumers, but often resulting from new rules imposed by the authorities. But this kind of change can t ever pay off - or can it? A new study by a research group from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has reviewed 100 articles on how sustainably oriented innovation affects companies competitiveness.

Why we use our smartphone at cafés

E-Mail Maybe you re like us. We re the folks who are on our smartphones almost all the time, even when we re with others. We know it annoys a lot of people, but we do it anyway. Why? Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) have looked at why people in cafés pull out their phones, and how this affects café life. Three main reasons they identified are: to delay or pause a conversation (interaction suspension); to get out of a conversation (deliberately shielding interaction); and to share something with others (accessing shareables). But what does that actually mean?

How can we help victims of torture?

E-Mail Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, affects many people who are exposed to extreme situations, such as torture. Recent research suggests that chronic pain may make it more difficult to treat trauma. Trauma-focused therapy is effective for many patients with PTSD, enabling them to talk through the trauma they experienced , according to Iselin Solerød Dibaj, a psychologist at Oslo University Hospital. However, not everyone benefits equally from this form of therapy. Torture victims who struggle with both chronic pain and PTSD unfortunately often reap less benefit from ordinary treatment, says Dibaj. The Red Cross estimates that between 10 000 and 35 000 people with a refugee background who have come to Norway have experienced torture, reflecting the great need for effective treatment in this country as well.

A wing and a prayer: how birds are coping with the climate crisis

Sun 3 Jan 2021 01.45 EST Lockdown has sparked a renewed interest in our garden birds, with millions of us enjoying watching them from our windows. But could some species – including the common and familiar great tit – vanish from Britain’s gardens by the end of the century? Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, working with the University of Oxford, have modelled how great tits are reacting to the climate crisis. Specifically, are the birds able to respond to the earlier emergence of the caterpillars on which they feed their chicks? Birds such as great tits have evolved to time their breeding cycle so it coincides with the peak of moth caterpillars that feed on oak leaves, which traditionally happens in late May and June. But as temperatures rise, so oaks are coming into leaf earlier, and the caterpillars have responded by hatching out earlier too.
