Smoking in early puberty in boys may have negative consequences for their future generations of offspring, a study from the University of Bergen (UiB) shows.
By continued analysis of data gathered in the large international RHINESSA, RHINE and ECRHS studies, researchers have found that the health of future generations depends on actions and decisions made by young people today. This is particularly relevant for boys in early puberty and mothers/grandmothers both pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy, the study shows.
The paper Prenatal and prepubertal exposures to tobacco smoke in men may cause lower lung function in future offspring: a three-generation study using a causal modelling approach was recently published in the

– There are times where I don’t feel comfortable showing my face. Especially during the morning lectures when I am not ready, because I feel so terrible in the morning. Other times I simply don’t think I look good.
Waqas Hussain (25) is an international student at the University of Bergen (UiB). When he has his camera is on, he feels like everybody is looking right at him.
– Sometimes, when I have bad days, I don’t want to show my face. Yet everyone will watch you when the camera is on. It is very uncomfortable, Hussain explains.

– My duty as a student here in Norway is to integrate myself and contribute to this country, and to do so, I must learn the language, he says.
«The dialect debate
»
There is a saying, that «there are more Norwegian dialects than Norwegians in Norway», and people tend to think that the Norwegian dialects are unique.
However, Helge Sandøy, professor emeritus in Nordic linguistics at the University of Bergen (UiB), disagrees with this known statement. He points out that compared to other nations, Norway definitely does not have the most dialects.

If you are an international or an exchange student at the University of Bergen (UiB), perhaps you didn’t hear about the student elections taking place these days. All students registered at UiB, including international and exchange students, have the opportunity to vote for their representatives.
These are important elections. I say «these» because there are indeed two elections. You have to choose your delegates both at the
university parliament and at the university board. The university parliament is the student representative body in charge of making decisions on behalf of the students. You will have to choose between six lists, each promoting a different program for the student parliament, where 24 seats are at stake.
