- The bacterium Neisseria meningitidis causes life-threatening disease worldwide, typically with a clinical presentation of sepsis or meningitis, but can be carried asymptomatically as part of the normal human oropharyngeal microbiota. The aim of this study was to examine N. meningitidis carriage with regard to prevalence, risk factors for carriage, distribution of meningococcal lineages and persistence of meningococcal carriage. Throat samples and data from a self-reported questionnaire were obtained from 2744 university students (median age: 23 years) at a university in Sweden on four occasions during a 12-month period. Meningococcal isolates were characterised using whole-genome sequencing. The carriage rate among the students was 9.1% (319/3488; 95% CI 8.2-10.1). Factors associated with higher carriage rate were age ≤22 years, previous tonsillectomy, cigarette smoking, drinking alcohol and attending parties, pubs and clubs. Female gender and sharing a household with children aged 0-9 years were associated with lower carriage. The most frequent genogroups were capsule null locus (cnl), group B and group Y and the most commonly identified clonal complexes (cc) were cc198 and cc23. Persistent carriage with the same meningococcal strain for 12 months was observed in two students. Follow-up times exceeding 12 months are recommended for future studies investigating long-term carriage of N. meningitidis.

Is a car necessary for active aging? Relationships between aging, car use, and time spent on activities that sustain health and well-being

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aging population of the Global North is increasingly car dependent, with repercussions for health and well-being. This article analyzes how car use interacts with living an active life and how this has changed over time in Sweden. National time use data were used to analyze change in two cross sections of older people (65–84 years old) over a ten-year period (2000/01–2010/11). Previous studies concentrated on the relationship between travel behavior as such and older adult’s access to driver’s licenses and cars. We offer an integrated approach that includes all daily activities as we explore the changing social distribution of car use, as well as how different levels of car use are associated with time spent on active aging activities that benefit individuals and society. We conclude that an increasing proportion of the older population in Sweden are moderate to heavy car users and identify convergence over time between car use by older women and older men. We also find that heavy car users spend more time traveling to active aging activities. At first glance, this finding suggest that older people in Sweden are dependent on a car for living an active life. However, examination of how much time is actually spent on active activities after travel time is excluded reveals that few significant differences remain. This nuances the idea that access to a car is a necessity for spending time in activities that contribute to society and to personal well-being in old age.

Vad gör man när man reser? Hur människor använder sin restid i regional kollektivtrafik
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Transportforum, 13-14 januari 2010, Linköping.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Här presenteras resultat från en undersökning av hur människors faktiskt använder sin restid när de reser med kollektiva färdmedel. Tre konkreta frågeställningar vägleder: i) vilka aktiviteter ägnar man sig åt under resan, ii) vilken utrustning har man tillgång och använder, samt iii) hur värderas tiden ombord av resenärerna. Enkätundersökning omfattar 400 resenärer och fokuserar regionala resor med buss och tåg i Västra Götaland

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Diverse forms of spatial mobility are significant features of current social life. The rapid and converging development of space-transcending technologies (high-speed transportation and information and communication technologies) and still increasing virtual access to other places through media representation (e.g. news and popular culture) are thoroughly affecting people’s use of space and place. Decreased friction of distance, extended social networks and everyday activity patterns are major indicators of this. Gradually, spatial mobility is becoming institutionalised and expected, turning high levels of travel and communication from a choice to more of a necessity. Our projects aim to explore the development of various forms of spatial mobility and human interaction, be they physical, virtual, or media related. Their intricate interrelations in terms of complements, substitutes, displacements, and modifications − and the intersections between these − are a particular focus.
