Ungas samspel i sociala medier : Att balansera mellan ansvar och positionering
- 2015

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The growing communication that takes place between young people today causes concern. The purpose of this study is to develop in – depth knowledge of the interaction that young people engage in online. The pedagogic interest is based on an investigation of conditions for social learning and social integration that exist in practice, which unfolds in virtual spaces created by social media. The technology referred to in this thesis is considered to be a social construction, which entails that values circulate between people, technology, and society. The theoretical point of departure is based on a pedagogic theory, which proposes that people develop their ability to cooperate, their social identity, and their understanding of the world through interaction with others. This dissertation includes three studies. The first study investigates support and harassment online (for example, insults). The second study is conducted for the purpose of revealing the discursive patterns in young people’s argumentation, based on a series of interviews. Finally, a text analysis of Facebook’s policy document was performed, with focus on the democratic values that are mediated via this document. The overall result is that considerably more young people feel that they are supported in social media, than those who are harassed. Both a supportive culture and a harassing culture can be defined however. The more often young people support their friends, the more often they find themselves to be the recipient of support. The same relationship pertains for harassing communication. Reciprocity, respect, and being responsible are dominant themes in a close circle of friends. In interaction with friends who are not members of the close circle of friends, communication is characterised by asymmetry and control. The imposition of discipline takes place as a function of both gender and status. The risk of being subject to reprisals is great, if the prevailing system of norms is violated. Young people’s social interaction in virtual spaces tends to be dominated by marketization where strategic behaviour, which primarily is a function of the individual’s social position and profit interest, is observed.

Impact Assessment of Developed Applications – Overall interactIVe Assessment
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- interactIVe introduces active intervention safety systems in order to increase traffic safety. The interactIVe functions are – depending on their purpose – able to brake and steer autonomously. Furthermore, the driver is continuously supported by interactIVe assistance systems which warn the driver in potentially dangerous situations. Seven demonstrator vehicles – six passenger cars of different vehicle classes and one truck - are built up in interactIVe to develop, test, and evaluate the next generation of safety systems. The three vertical subprojects in interactIVe SECONDS, INCA and EMIC have developed 11 different functions with a wide range of target areas. The developed advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) comprise the following systems: • SP4 “SECONDS” dealing with functions, which support the driver continuously in the driving process. These functions should not only support the driver in dangerous situations, but help the driver to avoid them. • SP5 “INCA” dealing with functions, which combine longitudinal and lateral control of the vehicle in order to prevent imminent accidents. The INCA functions’ focus is not only on the collision avoidance in rear-end conflicts, but also on other types of conflicts, such as blind-spot and road departure situations. • SP6 “EMIC” deals with critical pre-crash applications, where collision mitigation can be realised at a reasonable cost. In order to evaluate the ADAS developed, an evaluation framework is required. Therefore, the subproject “Evaluation and Legal Aspects” is part of the interactIVe project, which has as main objective to provide this framework and to support the vertical subprojects in their evaluation work. The evaluation of the interactIVe functions has been divided into three main categories: • Technical Assessment to evaluate the performance of the developed functions and collect information and data for safety impact assessment. • User-Related Assessment to assess the functions from the user perspective, and also to provide further input to the safety impact assessment. • Impact Assessment to estimate how and how much the functions influence traffic safety. In this deliverable, the results of the evaluation in interactIVe are presented.

Best practices cases in heritage interpretation: Sweden
- 2024

Ingår i: Heritage Interpretation: a Look from Europe. Handbook of Best Practices.. ; , s. 207-219
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Manual of Good Practices in Heritage Interpretation (HI) in the European context offers an innovative approach to interpreters’ training and career, as such studies are very uncommon, due to the dispersion of information on interpretation. It also re- flects on the future of this sector, which is currently on the rise due to the international community's awareness of the importance of socialising heritage. Heritage communities are responsible for preserving and communicating heritage and thus for transmitting common European values related to cultural identity. Interpretation is a profession related directly to heritage awareness and preservation. One of the conclusions is that the profession of heritage interpreter is not fully recog- nised, and its competences are reduced to specific visitor-guide functions. This partial recognition overlooks many fundamental dimensions, as heritage interpreters are fo- cused on education and the transmission of heritage safeguarding values. Full recognition of heritage interpreter as a specific profession would involve understanding the ethics and responsibility of the profession for the preservation of heritage sites and their com- munication to the public, leading, among other things, to a more conscious perception of heritage as a social construction.

An ex-vivo Biomechanical Assessment of Cement Discoplasty
- 2021

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Spinal fusion is the golden standard for treating degenerative disc disease. However, elderly patients with underlying chronic conditions cannot undergo spinal fusion due to healing impairment, risks of infection, and/or even morbidity. Percutaneous Cement Discoplasty (PCD) is a relatively new procedure that involves injecting poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) cement into the disc to reduce pain and attempt to maintain spinal curvature and height. Therefore, this minimally invasive method could be an advantageous option for patients for whom open surgery is deemed too risky [1]. While this technique has already been attempted clinically, to the authors knowledge, only one preliminary study on the biomechanics of PCD is currently available [2]. This study aims to develop a more clinically relevant and repeatable method to study PCD in a lab setting. To this end, ovine spine was tested in three different categories: healthy disc; injured disc; treated disc. A papain enzyme solution [3] was used to create the vacuum phenomena in the sheep spine to represent the injury as observed in a clinical setting. Preliminary compression testing showed promising results with a significant increase in stability of the segments after treatment. Further on, this testing method can be used to test different materials, surgical methods and biomechanical behaviour to further advance PCD.

- Title and AuthorsTitle: Stereolithography shows potential in additive manufacturing of synthetic trabecular bone structures.Authors: Ana Grzeszczak, Susanne Lewin, Olle Eriksson, Johan Kreuger, Cecilia Persson IntroductionSynthetic bone models are needed to train surgeons but also to test and design medical devices such as screws for fracture fixation. However, currently available models do not accurately mimic the trabecular bone and its complex structure [1]. This study aimed to investigate if stereolithography (SLA) additive manufacturing could produce synthetic trabecular bone models with high accuracy. Experimental methods The synthetic bone models were printed by SLA (Formlabs Black resin, Form3 printer). The CAD-model had been generated from micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) synchrotron images of human trabecular bone [2]. The model was printed at the original scale (scale factor 1), and with upscaling factors up to 4.3. Structure replicability was assessed with micro-CT, and the mechanical properties were evaluated by compression and screw pullout tests. Dense cylinders of the printed material were also tested in compression for material characterization.Results and discussionThe elastic moduli obtained by compression of dense cylinders were approximately ten times lower than average values for human cortical bone. For the trabecular bone models with scaling factors below 1.8, micro-CT image analysis showed major artefacts due to printing and a low accuracy in trabecular thickness distribution. Analysis of the total printed volume showed a difference to the original model higher than 50% for scale 1.5 (Fig. 1). However, this difference was less than 10% for scales 1.8 and above, although a refined overlap comparison with the original bone model showed that the scale 1.8 exhibited errors higher than 20%, implying printing inaccuracies of the smaller details. The pullout strength of SLA-printed parts was higher than for existing synthetic models (Sawbones™) and cadaveric specimens, but within the same range as FDM-printed parts in poly(lactic acid) [2].ConclusionIn conclusion, trabecular bone models with a scale factor of 1.8 or larger could be printed with acceptable accuracy, but models with smaller scale factors were not well represented. However, for the same 3D model, a higher resolution was achieved by SLA as compared to FDM [2].
