New and valuable guidelines for inclusive ICT
 |
| www.clipart.com |
Norsk Regnesentral and Karde AS have jointly developed a design guide on how to make inclusive content and technical solutions for the Web.
As such, the design guide addresses a previously unmet demand of all who produce web content, such as journalists, editors, bloggers, homepage maintainers, etc. The guide is in particular meant as a means for developers and designers of technical solutions. The guidelines show in a hands-on manner how to develop and design electronic services which are accessible for individuals with a cognitive challenges. Examples for those are memory capability decline, reading and writing difficulties, and impairments concerning attention and orientation ability.
Various topics are considered, ranging from planning to development and testing. The guide comes with a number of concrete design recommendations, each including solutions and implementation examples. It can also be used for look-up purposes concerning universal design, cognition, legal matters, technical specifications, links and tools, and definitions and technical terms.

Paper with NR contributions highlighted in Nature
In volume 462-2009 of Nature, a paper with NR's Chief Research Scientist Marit Holden as co-author, was highlighted. The paper Gene Dosage, Expression, and Ontology Analysis Identifies Driver Genes in the Carcinogenesis and Chemoradioresistance of Cervical Cancer gives contributions for better understanding the processes involved in cervical cancer. The paper was published in PLoS Genetics
A large-scale survey of gene loss or gain in cervical cancer has flagged more than 50 potential genetic drivers of the disease. Heidi Lyng and her colleagues at the Norwegian Radium Hospital in Oslo screened tumours from 102 patients with cervical cancer to look for changes in gene-copy numbers and expression profiles. They found 57 candidate genes that were frequently gained or lost and which were linked to various well-known tumour-promoting processes, such as carbohydrate metabolism and avoiding cell suicide. They also discovered some novel genes tied to resistance to chemoradiotherapy.

NR award for best master thesis in mathematics and ICT
NR has established an annual award for best master thesis in mathematics and ICT, one award at The University of Oslo (UoO) and one award at NTNU. The first awards were given for the period 2008/2009. The prize is NOK 25 000.
NR recruits most of our employees from UoO and NTNU and hopes that an award will strengthen the recruitment in these subjects and stimulate the students during their study.
The statutes for the awards has been finished together with the two departments at each of the two universities. All the members in the jury are recruited from the scientific staff at the universities and there will be no NR representatives.
New book about Digital Rights Management
NR's senior research scientist Habtamu Abie has written the book Distributed Digital Rights Management: Frameworks, Processes, Procedures and Algorithms
In the digital world the management and protection of digital assets and the rights associated with them from unauthorized access, use and dissemination has for a long time been a matter of concern for many rights holders, and the protection of privacy a matter of concern for many users. A distributed Digital Rights Management (DRM) system is ideally suited to providing the necessary protection and management.
This book investigates and describes a distributed DRM model, which fulfills this purpose. This analysis should be especially useful to professionals in e-Government, e-Business, e-Entertainment, e-Learning, and e-Health, to all stakeholders in the Intellectual Property (IP) value chain, content producers, owners, distributors, consumers, technology providers, etc., and to anyone who is planning to protect and manage rights in connection with any form of digital information in a free, balanced, equitable and commercially viable society.
Historisk avkastning for garanterte spareprodukter
NR har fra Finansnæringens Hovedorganisasjon (FNH) fått i oppdrag å utarbeide en uavhengig undersøkelse av historisk avkastning for såkalte sammensatte produkter i det norske markedet for et utvalg norske banker.
