Epidemiologiskt undersökta samband mellan Alzheimers sjukdom och faktorer i arbetsmiljön
- 2015
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- Epidemiological evidence on associations between work environment and Alzheimers disease Lars-Gunnar Gunnarsson, assistant professor at School of Medicine, Örebro University, Sweden andLennart Bodin, professor emeritus, Department of Statistics, Örebro University, Sweden and senior researcher at Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institute, Sweden.In this systematic literature review we identified 50 original publications on associations between work and Alzheimer’s disease. GRADE guidelines were used to secure high scientific quality and reliable guidelines were applied to classify the papers. Thirty-one papers fulfilled high quality standards while 19 were methodologically deficient and thus were excluded from our meta-analyses.Twenty-seven studies concerned exposure to electromagnetic fields and two published meta-analyses indicated a weighted relative risk (RR) reaching 2.0. Our meta-analysis was only based on twelve high quality publications and the weighted relative risk included statistically over chemicals was evaluated in seven studies and the weighted RR was 1.55 (95% confidence interval 1.19-2.02). Only some few publications concerned pesticides and other chemicals and the weighted RR indicated increased risk.Higher education and work complexity were evaluated in eleven publications and our meta-analysis show a reduced the risk for Alzheimer’s disease. The weighted RR was 0.47 (95% confidence interval 0.35-0.63). Both factors were independently and additively protective.There are indications of an association between ALS and exposure to heavy muscle work especially in combination with muscle trauma, i.e. professional football players are reported to have an elevated risk. More studies are needed with more precise measures on these exposures.

Ethical considerations in relation to personalised nutrition : An overview of Work Package 5, with respect to ethics
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The objectives of Food4Me work package 5 included a baseline assessment of the ethical and legal aspects of personalised nutrition at the start of the project in 2011, as well as a final assessment at the end of the project (2015), taking into account results achieved in other work packages. The initial assessment made a number of ethical issues visible, most of them relating to the consumer of personalised nutrition service. The results depicted in this publication indicate that many of the questions raised in relation to these issues remain unsolved, and in some cases they seem to be neglected in relation to the services offered by internet companies.

Cadre conceptuel du jeu préjudiciable: Une collaboration internationale, troisième édition
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Si le jeu est souvent considéré comme un divertissement ou un loisir, pour certaines personnes, qu’il s’agisse de familles ou d’individus, voire de la société en général, il peut avoir des répercussions graves. Depuis des décennies, les effets préjudiciables du jeu font l’objet d’études visant à comprendre les distinctions entre la pratique du jeu et le parcours de vie des problèmes liés au jeu. Le présent ouvrage élabore un cadre conceptuel complet et pertinent au niveau international du « jeu préjudiciable » qui identifie les préjudices au-delà d’une vue basée sur les symptômes et aborde une série de facteurs liés aux risques pour la population, de même qu’aux effets sur la communauté et la société. Les facteurs répertoriés dans le cadre représentent des éléments majeurs liés au jeu et sont tantôt spécifiques (environnement de jeu, exposition, types et ressources), tantôt généraux (culturels, sociétaux, psychologiques et biologiques). Le Cadre a été créé par une équipe internationale de spécialistes interdisciplinaires dans le but de faciliter la compréhension du jeu préjudiciable. Il reflète l’état des connaissances liées aux facteurs d’influence du jeu préjudiciable et a pour but secondaire de servir de guide au développement de programmes de recherche futurs et à l’éducation des personnes chargées de prendre des décisions en matière de jeu préjudiciable. Situé à Guelph, en Ontario (Canada), l’organisme Gambling Research Exchange Ontario ou GREO, anciennement Ontario Problem Gambling Research Centre (OPGRC) a facilité l’élaboration du présent Cadre conceptuel sur le jeu préjudiciable et demeurera responsable d’assurer la mise à jour de celui-ci.

Conceptual Framework of Harmful Gambling: An International Collaboration
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- While seen by many as a form of leisure and recreation, gambling can have serious repercussions for individuals, families, and society as a whole. The harmful effects of gambling have been studied for decades to attempt to understand individual differences in gambling engagement and the life- course of gamblingrelated problems. In this publication, we present a comprehensive, internationally relevant conceptual framework of “harmful gambling” that moves beyond a symptoms-based view of harm and addresses a broad set of factors related to population risk, community and societal effects. Interactive factors represented in the framework represent major themes in gambling that range from specific (gambling environment, exposure, types, and resources) to general (cultural, social, psychological, and biological). This framework has been created by international and interdisciplinary experts from a variety of stakeholder perspectives - including researchers, treatment providers, operators, policy makers, and individuals and their families - to facilitate an understanding of harmful gambling. It not only reflects the state of knowledge as it relates to factors influencing harmful gambling, but also acts to guide the development of future research programs and educate policy makers on issues related to harmful gambling. The Ontario Problem Gambling Research Centre (Guelph, Ontario, Canada) has facilitated the development of the Conceptual Framework of Harmful Gambling and is committed to updating it over time.

Betydelsen av alkohol och drogsamordnare på Länsstyrelsen i Blekinge län : en utvärdering
- 2009
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapporten utgår ifrån länssamordnarens egen beskrivning av funktionen och speglar den sedan i andra intressenters/informanters uppfattningar av hennes funktion. De uppfattar att arbetet som länssamordnare har fungerat mycket bra. Däremot har hon inte lyckats med att bygga upp en länsövergripande struktur för folkhälsoarbetet på beslutsfattande nivå. Något som är nödvändigt för att på lång sikt åstadkomma ett effektivt arbete. Rapporten avslutas med två förslag till framtida organisation av arbetet i länet och hur utvecklingen av policy och handlingsprogram kan gå till.
