Artificial Intelligence Saves Lives

Ishita Barua

Artificial intelligence both shapes and changes our society. It affects all parts of our lives, from social media to the industries and not least the health services. Artificial intelligence may seem difficult to understand for most people, but in order to shape our own future with the technology, and ensure that it’s used in a smart manner, it’s important that we try to understand and manage it. In this book the authors show how artificial intelligence can be used within healthcare, where it helps doctors to solve their tasks in a better way. Artificial intelligence can offer the doctors superpowers, give patients better access to good healthcare, and even save lives. In this book real stories are shared as well as experiences from Norway and the rest of the world, amongst other things from the authors’ own research within medicine and technology. The book also offers an introduction to what artificial intelligence really is, how it works and how it can improve our lives, as well as which challenges it brings along with it, such as several ethical dilemmas.

Birds of a Feather

Tor Åge Bringsværd

We have always admired and envied the birds. The dream of wings has followed us ever since the first human lifted their gaze and saw birds floating above the tree tops. Ever since the story of the ancient egg which the world was supposedly created from, birds have been floating above the mythical skies of people all over the world. Author Tor Åge Bringsværd brings the reader on a journey to the Siberian plains and the sand dunes of Sahara, to the igloos of the Inuits, the tents of the Navahos and the palace of King Salomon and shows us how our fascination for the flying creatures is both universal and timeless. In fairytales, folklore, myths, and religious texts from all over the world birds abound. In this collection, which covers thousands of years and reaches across all continents, we get to meet everything from the smallest and most ordinary house sparrow to the giant Middle Eastern mythical bird Roc. With Beaks and Claws is part of a series where Tor Åge Bringsværd brings to light the stories of animals in myths, fairytales, legends and folklore.

My Shame

Nadia Ansar

Nadia Ansar was named after the Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci. She was the symbol of the “perfect 10”; unattainable, flawless, and perfect. On the outside she was the immaculate daughter, the good immigrant and the well-integrated psychologist, an expert in feelings such as shame and guilt. What no one could see was that she carried with her a heavy rucksack of shame and dark secrets. Through the book My Shame she now wishes to use her own personal and professional voice to tell the story about the talented minority girl’s fight to be able to be herself. About growing up in Oslo as the daughter of the local grocer and the only girl in her school class with a minority background. About her dad’s breakneck split between the equal Norwegian society and the patriarchal expectations of their culture. About the fight for equality in her marriage, after marrying the love of her life. As an adult Nadia Ansar has often witnessed several well-educated sisters of minority backgrounds give up on the painful balancing act in the supposedly equal Norway. They become housewives with hijabs, and some move back to their parents’ home country. Nadia Ansar believes it is the feelings of shame which primarily prohibits them from leading free lives.

Bitesize Psychology: Understanding Communication

Kjersti Kvam / Catrin Sagen

Understanding Communication: The most important things to know is the book that can make us better at communicating with one another and with ourselves. Every day we communicate non-stop. We give messages, ask questions, react, signal how we’re feeling, scream out in anger, cry tears, present our opinions, show our love, chat, send texts, call, and write. We applaud when we’re excited, we bang our fist on the table when we’re angry, and we stare at the ground when we want to avoid something. But do you really know how you communicate and how others perceive and receive it? And do you understand what others try to convey to you? Misunderstandings are the root of many mental loads, but the more you know and understand about communication, the better you will get at expressing yourself and receiving information from others in a clear and precise manner. Understanding Communication is the first book in the Bitesize Psychology series, which considers the important everyday psychology we live with. In Understanding Communication the author asks the questions we all have, and the psychologist Catrin Sagen, one of the most well-known voices of therapy in Norwegian media, pours out her wise and human knowledge about the topics.

Race

Jon Røyne Kyllingstad

For more than ten years historian Jon Røyne Kyllingstad has studied how the concept of race has been used in the history of science, from the 1600s until today. The idea that some races have been elevated above others has been rooted in all parts of academia, and affected research within anthropology, history, and medicine. Some of our foremost researchers have allowed themselves to use a scientific “reasoning” for systematic discrimination, and in this interesting as well as frightening work parts of our academic history which so far has been forgotten or ignored is put to the light in a systemic manner.REVIEWS Thorough and great about the history of the science of race«Probably no one in Norway has better overview of the history of the science of race today, than Kyllingstad. The book is thorough, faithful and brings forth nuances that have disappeared in other writings.»SUBJEKT, five/six starsProves why the decolonalisation of academia is still important«Science historian Jon Røyne Kyllingstad is perhaps Norway's foremost expert on how racial thinking has shaped our scientific practice, as well as the society of which it is a part. [… Race] has become a summary of his own research on the use of the concept of race in academia, from the beginning of the 17th century to the present day.»AFTENPOSTEN Rock solid about racial thinking and history of science«A short book review cannot do justice to such a well-documented and diverse work, but let it also be mentioned that the professional - and non-professional - discussion about the relationship between the majority population and the Sami, Kven and other minorities has naturally had a wide space.»KLASSEKAMPEN
