PROJECT OPEN ARENAS - The evolution of the Lindholmen and Innovatum ‘"arenas’" and their role for innovation in vehicle technology
- 2005
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The the Lindholmen and Innovatum "arenas" in Göteborg and Trollhättan were planted on the soil of former industrial giants as shipbuilding industry in Göteborg and heavy manufacturing industries in Trollhättan in Region Västra Götaland. This study describes the evolution these "arenas" and their role and function for innovation and economic renewal in Swedish automotive industry. The case study has two purposes: First, to tell the story of two such public-private mobilisations in a regional Swedish and global context, and second, to discuss the broader policy implications of this on-going restructuring towards "glocal innovation". The case takes its starting point from a historical perspective following the development of arenas and local mobilization over a period of time including the recent intermezzo in 2004 of the multinational car manufacturer "General Motors" causing one of the larger Swedish innovation policy interventions in decades. The case is analysed with respect to seven issues: The question of how historical processes intervene in current initiatives; The role of systemic features of technology and how this in turn create a need for system innovation; The increasing role of the local-global("glocal") dimension in innovation processes and what this may mean for actors at a national level; The role of Arenas(and "arenas", which was our more encompassing term) as a new and emerging nexus for public-private partnership; The function of arenas in this respect to provide a structure for innovation processes; The role of these emerging structures, in the form of two Arenas, to develop different characteristics due to adaptation to local circumstances; And finally, we note that the work to establish arenas have created a local/regional preparedness to influence and to take a proactive role for innovation.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Policies for regional innovation in Sweden rely on the view that different groups of actors enter into collaboration on the basis of a mutual interest. One recent organisational expression of this view is the development of innovation policy and development organisations known as 'Arenas'. These organisations were modelled on the Triple Helix innovation theory, which is known for promoting innovation as collaboration between industry, university and policy. This paper analyses the historical development of two such Arenas, which were created by public and private actors in two Swedish cities. The study used a historical case-study approach, combined with interviews with project management and project workers, to highlight the difficulties in stabilising broad collaboration patterns. The paper concludes that diverging interests may result in unresolved tensions within Triple Helix Arenas.

Transdisciplinary Higher Education – A Challenge for Public Health Science

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper highlights and discusses issues associated with transdisciplinary teaching and suggests ways to overcome the challenges posed by different epistemologies, methods, and ethical positions. Our own transdisciplinary teaching experience in public health helped us identify some important questions including (i) what is transdisciplinary research in practice, and does methods triangulation yield more valid results?, (ii) from a teaching perspective, how do biopsychosocial and medical research differ?, (iii) what is the difference between deductive and inductive research, and does each discipline represent a different ethical position?, and (iv) does pure inductive research lack theories, and does it require a hypothesis—a “rule of thumb”—on how to proceed? We also suggest ways to facilitate and enhance transdisciplinary teaching, focusing on what unites us and not on what sets us apart, openly underlining and highlighting our differences. Using diverse methodologies, a newly educated transdisciplinary workforce will likely extend current knowledge and facilitate solutions for complex public health issues.

Läkarintyget i sjukförsäkringsprocessen : styrning, legitimitet och bevisning
- 2009
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vad är arbetsoförmåga och vad är inte arbetsoförmåga? Vad är sjukdom och vad är inte sjukdom? Tillstånd som i västvärlden tidigare sågs som fysisk eller psykisk ohälsa eller personlig svaghet har legitimerats som arbetsoförmåga pga sjukdom genom läkarintygets införande. Vad som är »sjukt« respektive »friskt« har därigenom förtydligats. Socialförsäkringssystemets förlitan på läkarintyget är dock ifrågasatt. Orsaken är främst de höga sjuktalen, till vilka läkarna beskylls bidra. Tidigare ansågs de bidra med medicinsk sakkunskap för rättsligt rimliga beslut. Nu vill staten INTE ha en yrkeskår som är självständig i förhållande till statsmakten. Kåren ska genomföra den politiska majoritetens beslut. Den ska därför utbildas i intygsskrivande, dvs i försäkringsmedicin och endast vissa läkare ska få skriva intyg. Staten vill alltså skapa en speciell kategori av lojala medicinare, som tolkar sjukdoms- och arbetsoförmågebegreppen i enlighet med den politiska meningen. Med denna samhällsuppfattning som bakgrund undersöks läkarintyget ur tre perspektiv. Den första rör hur läkarintygets rättsliga styrningseffekter kan kollidera med bland annat ekonomisk och politisk agenda. Den andra rör läkarintygets legitimitet som instrument för rättssäkra beslut. Den tredje rör läkarintygets funktion som bevismedel. För att allsidigt belysa frågeställningarna i boken gör författarna såväl rättsliga som vetenskapsteoretiska och statistiska överväganden.
