- Digital innovation processes are becoming more and more networked, and actors are growing dependent oneach other’s competences, resources and knowledge. In networks developing digital innovation actors needto identify, mobilize, and integrate diverse and heterogeneous knowledge resources to be able to innovatesuccessfully. Social aspects are important where heterogeneous actors connect, negotiate, and adjust to eachother’s perspectives. The aim of this paper is to explain how social aspects such as trust, commitment andpower, influence changes in relationships in digital innovation networks. A case study approach was selectedto study events involving multiple actors in an innovation and development project aimed at introducingtechnology that aids elderly, home care personnel and next of kin by improving the management of homecare visits. Based on the authors’ findings they present a model for how social aspects influence changes inrelationships and conclude by making six propositions. Copyright © 2012, IGI Global.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we present a two year long interpretative case study based on a Living Lab project. The case study is used to in retrospect investigate cognitive and social translation in a doubly distributed innovation network. By identifying and empirically exemplify how translations occurred, we present insights of how to support cognitive and social translations in these kind of networks. Using the concepts from Yoo et al. (2009) we explore the research question: how can cognitive and social translation be supported in Living Labs? Based on the findings we conclude that Living Labs can support heterogeneous set of actors and knowledge resources by supporting cognitive translation with techniques such as scenarios, mock-ups and prototypes. By working with an iterative process the involved actors can be supported to materialize prior and new knowledge which can be translated between different communities of actors. By setting up and providing a common ground a trading zone can be established supporting the social translations within the network by offering a space where negotiation of interests and alignment of perspectives can be facilitated.

- The cause of the worldwide increase in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is largely unknown. T cells are thought to play a role in disease progression. In contemporary research over the last decade, age- and gender-specific serum levels as well as changes of Th1 and Th2-related cytokines are not well described. From a population-based register of children diagnosed from 1997 to 2005 this study explores eight different cytokines at time of diagnosis. Only TGF-beta and IL-18 showed higher levels in patients compared to siblings in an adjusted model (p < 0.01): whereas the other seven cytokines were not significantly different. IL-1 beta, IL-18, IL-12, IL-10 and IL-4 were significantly higher among the youngest children and males had significantly lower levels of IL-10 and IL-12 but higher levels of TNF-alpha. During the nine-year study all of the cytokines increased except TGF-beta, which showed a slight decrease over time. The cytokine levels tended to be highest during summer and were most pronounced for IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha. In conclusion, serum levels of known beta-cell cytotoxic cytokines were indifferent in patients and siblings, while gender, age and season appear to exert some influence on the serum level and need to be explored further. The influence of time on systemic levels cannot be ignored and may reflect decay or environmental impact on the immune system. (C) 2012 American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics.

High levels of immunoglobulin E and a continuous increase in immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M by age in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing, either because of environmental factors accelerating onset of the disease or because of inducement of autoimmune diabetes in children who previously were at lower risk. High levels of immunoglobulin (Ig), specifically, IgM and IgA, and a low level of IgG were reported in adult patients; however no studies have analyzed the increasing incidence in relation to Ig levels. Our aim was to describe Ig in children newly diagnosed with diabetes and in their healthy siblings. Children with T1D expressed significantly lower IgG (p < 0.01) and higher IgA levels (p = 0.045), whereas no differences in IgE or IgM (p > 0.5) levels were found. Age-specific levels were unchanged over a 9-year period. In patients and siblings IgG. IgA and IgE increased by age (p < 0.001); which was in contrast to IgM (p > 0.05). The continued increase in IgG levels by age indicates that adult levels are reached later than in previously studied cohorts, thereby indicating a slower maturation of the immune system.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Digital innovation processes are becoming more complex with a need for heterogeneous actors collaborating. One approach to support digital innovation is Living Lab. However, even if Living Lab seems like a promising initiative, there is little guidance of how Living Lab can be setup and managed to support digital innovation processes. The aim with this paper is to provide guidance for Living Lab practice and research by presenting a set of four Living Lab principles and explain how these can be put into Living Lab practice. Derived from Living Lab literature, the principles are established and then elaborated by analysing a Living Lab case study from the perspective of the following principles: Boundary spanning co-creation, Exploration & experimentation, User-centricity, Realism & Authenticity. The analysis of the empirical case study is guided by the following research question: how can digital innovation processes be supported by Living Lab principles?

Methods and Techniques for User Contribution : Challenges from a Living Lab Perspective
- 2009
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper discusses user contribution in innovation processes from a Living Labperspective. We view Living Lab as a milieu in which specific methods are used to involvedifferent stakeholders in open innovation processes to create and validate IT-products andservices in a real world setting. The involvement of different stakeholders is of particular importance in a Living Lab to secure the development of usable products and services. In thispaper we focus on methods and techniques for user contribution in innovation processes by discussing our own experiences based on 100 activities conducted within four differentresearch projects. The purpose of this paper is to discuss our experiences of methods andtechniques for user contribution in relation to three different aspects: a) phase in the innovation process, b) kind of user contribution and c) type of users, all in relation to a Living Lab perspective. We conclude that there is a need to translate face to face methods and techniques to distributed user involvement activities to be able to scale up and use these in a Living Lab setting.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we have addressed the research question: In what way does a Living Lab approach influence the innovation process from a small enterprise perspective? Within Halmstad Living Lab we have performed approximately 50 Living Lab activities involving user and enterprise representatives within the health technology sector. We have discussed our experiences according to literature on innovation and competence in relation to a Living Lab approach and have identified four challenges that need to be addressed. Examples of these challenges are; In what way can Living Lab activities contribute to expand the competencies within the small enterprises and how to create openness between enterprises and other stakeholders regarding legal documents such as IPR and patent?

- Digital innovation processes are becoming more and more networked, where stakeholders are growing dependent of each other’s competences, resources and knowledge. In networks working with digital innovation, actors need to identify, mobilize and integrate diverse and heterogeneous knowledge resources to be able to innovate successfully. Social aspects seem to be important at the boundaries of communities where heterogeneous actors connect, negotiate and adjust to each other’s perspectives. The aim with this paper is to explain what role relationships play in digital innovation networks as well as to describe how social aspects influence these relationships. A case study approach was selected to study events involving multiple stakeholders in a development project aimed at introducing technology that aid elderly, home care personnel and next of kin by improving the management of home care visits. We describe how social aspects such as trust, interest, and commitment between actors influence the relationships. © 2012 IEEE.
