- Aims. To describe the nature of being a psychosocial nurse in cancer care. Background. Psychosocial nurses in cancer care are a new profession in cancer nursing in Sweden, with potential to offer unique support to patients regarding somatic and psychological needs. This new profession is hitherto unexplored. Design. A qualitative inductive interview approach was used. Methods. A strategic sample of five nurses working as psychosocial nurses in cancer care in Sweden was interviewed. A thematic stepwise analysis was performed. Results. The analysis revealed the twofold experience of being a psychosocial nurse in cancer care. The nurses felt as if they had two professions: nurse and therapist. They used skills from both professions to help the person, who had cancer and a psychosocial problem. It was stimulating to be able to combine the knowledge and practices of two professions. It was also difficult because they felt an uncertainty about what their roles and responsibilities really were. Conclusions. This new profession seems to need role descriptions and formal education so that psychosocial nurses receive respect and appreciation in their new and relatively unknown work in cancer care. Relevance to clinical practices. The adjustment to the cancer disease and treatment side effects can be difficult for the patients and their families, which has highlighted the need for psychosocial support. To meet this need the health care system has to provide such support. Nurses are available and can be successfully educated to handle psychosocial problems among cancer patients. A new profession among nurses is emerging, which the present study aimed at describing. The present findings have potential to make healthcare professionals grasp what the core of psychosocial cancer nursing is, as well as its potential and pitfalls.

Towards an efficient approach for resource sharing in real-time multiprocessor systems

- Supporting resource sharing in multiprocessor architectures is one of the major problems that limit the potential performance benefits of using such architectures for real-time systems. Many approaches and algorithms have been proposed to support resource sharing, however, most of them impose either high blocking times on tasks or require a large memory allocation. In this paper we investigate the possibility of combining the lock-based approaches and wait-free approaches (using multiple buffers) in order to decrease both the blocking times that may affect the schedulability of tasks and the required memory. To achieve this, we propose a solution based on evaluating the maximum allowed blocking time on each task according to the schedulability analysis, and then find the minimum memory allocation for each resource that limits the blocking times on tasks to be less than the maximum allowed blocking times.

Why it was so difficult to develop new methods to inspect work organization and psychosocial risks in Sweden
- 2011

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2001-2003, the Swedish Work Environment Authority (SWEA) ran a project to develop better methods to inspect psychosocial risk factors at work. The objective was twofold: to develop methods to enable most inspectors to effectively inspect such health risks, and to set a standard for method development within SWEA. This article presents our evaluation of the project and a discussion of this as an example of regulatory implementation. The methods project largely failed. Major reasons were the lack of general provisions on psychosocial risks, isolation from other policies in SWEA that affect the inspection of such risks, and a lack of engagement and guidance by top management on how to prioritize and conduct this very challenging development project. Underlying this was possibly a preoccupation with other major internal reforms, a limited competence and an unwillingness to challenge the employers on psychosocial and organizational issues within SWEA's top management. Yet, the project probably had some indirect positive effects by raising awareness within the authority of psychosocial risk factors, of the complexities of inspecting such risks and of the difficulty to develop effective methods to supervise them.

Towards a methodology for longitudinal evaluation of social robotic telepresence for elderly
- 2011
-
Ingår i: 1st Workshop on Social Robotic Telepresence at HRI 2011.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes a methodology for performing longitudinal evaluations when a social robotic telepresence system is deployed in realistic environments. This work is the core of an Ambient Assisted Living Project called ExCITE, Enabling Social Interaction Through Telepresence. The ExCITE project is geared towards an elderly audience and has as aim to increase social interaction among elderly, their family and healthcare services by using robotic telepresence. The robotic system used in the project is called the Giraff robot and over a three year period, prototypes of this platform are deployed at a number of test-sites in different European countries where user feedback is collected and fedback into the refinement of the prototype. In this paper, we discuss the methodology of ExCITE in particular relation to other methodologies for longitudinal evaluation. The paper also provides a discussion of the possible pitfalls and risks in performing longitudinal studies of this nature particularly as they relate to social robotic telepresence technologies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: Quality improvement initiatives in emergency medicine (EM) often suffer from a lack of benchmarking data on the quality of care. The objectives of this study were twofold: 1. To assess the feasibility of collecting benchmarking data from different Swedish emergency departments (EDs) and 2. To evaluate patient throughput times and inflow patterns. Method: We compared patient inflow patterns, total lengths of patient stay (LOS) and times to first physician at six Swedish university hospital EDs in 2009. Study data were retrieved from the hospitals' computerized information systems during single on-site visits to each participating hospital. Results: All EDs provided throughput times and patient presentation data without significant problems. In all EDs, Monday was the busiest day and the fewest patients presented on Saturday. All EDs had a large increase in patient inflow before noon with a slow decline over the rest of the 24 h, and this peak and decline was especially pronounced in elderly patients. The average LOS was 4 h of which 2 h was spent waiting for the first physician. These throughput times showed a considerable diurnal variation in all EDs, with the longest times occurring 6-7 am and in the late afternoon. Conclusion: These results demonstrate the feasibility of collecting benchmarking data on quality of care targets within Swedish EM, and form the basis for ANSWER, A National SWedish Emergency Registry.

Bioremediation of a soil industrially contaminated by wood preservatives : degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and monitoring of coupled arsenic distribution
- 2011

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two commercially available aerobic bioremediation methods (Daramend® and BioSan) were utilized to study the aerobic biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and the effect of the simultaneously present arsenic. The soil was collected at an old wood preservation site and the initial PAH16-concentration was 46 mg/kg, with mainly high molecular weight congeners. The As-concentration was105 mg/kg with low availability as assessed with sequential extraction. To enahce the availability of PAH, the effect of a non-ionic surfactant was evaluated. Degradation of both low and high molecular weight PAH was observed, however after 30 weeks, the degradation was generally low and no treatment was significantly better than the others. The treatments had, on the other hand, an effect on As-distribution, with increased As-concentration in the available fraction after treatment. This may be due to both the microbial activity and the presence of anoxic micro sites in the soil. The overall efficiency of the biological treatment was further evaluated using the standardized ecotoxicity test utilizing Vibrio fischeri (Microtox®). The toxicity test demonstrated that the bioremediation led to an increase in toxicity, especially in treatments receiving surfactant. The surfactant implied an increase in contaminant availability but also a decrease in surface tension, which might have contributed to the overall toxicity increase.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att frågor kring kultur, livsvillkor och samhälle hör ihop med (möjligheterna och begränsningarna för) lärande är det förmodligen ingen större tvekan om. Problemet blir då istället hur vi ska tala om denna kultur, dessa livsvillkor och detta samhälle, av idag. Det finns givetvis otaliga vis att karaktärisera den svenska och västerländska samtiden, och vad som format och formar den. Men något som kan ses som ofrånkomligt att diskutera, och som också diskuteras flitigt, är vad den ”digitala revolutionen” kan sägas bära på. Vad innebär det att vi nu lever i ett samhälle där informations- och kommunikationsteknologin (IKT) är en del av ungas lärande, meningsskapande, och socialisation? Svaren på denna fråga i relation till utbildning och skola har tidigare tenderat att vara antingen teknikromantiska, utopiska eller teknikfientliga, dystopiska.Med utgångspunkt i ett hermeneutiskt bildningsideal, där kunskap uppstår med grund i ”det egna”, ett möte med ”det andra/”den andre”, och tillbaka igen till ”det egna” (som då förändrats, eller utvidgats), krävs onekligen en förståelse av vad detta ”det egna” egentligen är. Denna kunskapssyn innebär att pedagogik måste ta hänsyn till elevernas egna erfarenheter – även om de i sig inte kan betraktas som ”tillräckliga”. För att kunskap ska uppstå krävs ett möte med ”det andra/den andre”, vilket kan ses som skolans uppdrag. Med andra ord, i detta sammanhang: Vad menar vi när vi talar om elevernas egen (musikaliska) kultur, elevernas egna (musikaliska) erfarenheter? Om dessa kan begreppsliggöras som ”populärkultur” behöver vi formulera en bild av denna. Vad innefattar, innebär och medför den samtida populärkulturen? Vi vill påstå, att när vi talar om detta idag, kan vi inte undgå att prata om den moderna IKT’n.I det här kapitlet är inte vår avsikt att presentera konkreta förslag på musikundervisningens innehåll och hur den kan organiseras med hjälp av IKT. Det handlar snarare om att synliggöra lärandekvalitéer i det digitala rummet, och hur medvetenheten omkring dessa kan utgöra grund för ett pedagogiskt förhållningssätt som både tillvaratar och förändrar elevernas egna erfarenheter.Ambitionen är att förstå och formulera, med hjälp av You Tube som exempel, vad denna elevernas egen musikaliska erfarenhet kan betraktas som, och således vad det får för musikpedagogiska konsekvenser, i termer av en rörelse som tar avstamp i den bekanta livsvärlden, men som sedan främmandegör den. För akten av att kunna ha distans och yppa kritik, kräver att vi vet vad det är vi ska förhålla oss distanserat till och kritisera. Oavsett om vi är elever, forskare, lärare eller studenter.
