Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- It is often said that we live in a consumer society. This does not just mean that we buy things regularly but also that consumption is an integral part of our daily lives. We have learned to think of ourselves as consumers, rather than citizens, in a variety of situations. Against this backdrop, retail organisations hold a strategically important position, not least because of the space they occupy between producers and consumers. Retailers have a key role in steering consumption and mediating choice. They have the power to shape conversations about socially important issues, such as sustainability, and can nudge consumers to make better choices. It is clear that retail and consumption are intertwined in complex ways, both symbiotic and antagonistic. Despite this, they have often been studied in different ways by separate groups of researchers rather than being seen as integrated. In this book, we seek to rectify this by exploring the ways in which three different consumption trends will transform the retail industry. This book is distinctive because of the way it links future consumption trends with pragmatic actions that retailers can take to prepare in the present. It is essential reading for retail managers who want to know how future consumption trends will affect the industry, as well as students and researchers of retail and consumption who wish to better understand how these interdependent fields are linked.

- The role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is not well understood. By using a transgenic mouse expressing the inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1beta in the lung, we have shown that perinatal expression of IL-1beta causes a BPD-like illness in infant mice. We have used this model to identify mechanisms by which inflammation causes neonatal lung injury. Increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity is associated with BPD. MMP-9 deficiency worsens alveolar hypoplasia in IL-1beta-expressing newborn mice, suggesting that MMP-9 has a protective role in neonatal inflammatory lung injury. The beta6 integrin subunit, an activator of transforming growth factor-beta, is involved in adult lung disease. Absence of the beta6 integrin subunit improves alveolar development in IL-1beta-expressing mice, suggesting that the beta6 integrin subunit is a pathogenetic factor in inflammatory lung disease in the newborn. The authors of clinical studies who have examined maternal inflammation as a risk factor for BPD have found variable results. We have shown that maternal IL-1beta production preceding fetal IL-1beta production prevents lung inflammation, alveolar hypoplasia, and airway remodeling in newborn IL-1beta-expressing mice. Thus, maternal inflammation may protect the newborn lung against subsequent inflammatory injury. In contrast, when maternal and fetal production of IL-1beta are induced simultaneously, the development of IL-1beta-induced lung disease in the newborn is not prevented.

Expecting parents’ use of digital sources in preparation for parenthood in a digitalised society – a systematic review
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Digital Health. - : Sage Publications. - 2055-2076. ; 8
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- BackgroundIn today's society, people are experiencing the rapid development of digitalisation. Expecting parents may have difficulties evaluating the information online; they are not always sure which sources of information are trustworthy, and this exacerbates their feelings of anxiety. More research is needed to broaden the knowledge about how their use of digital sources may influence their health.QuestionThe focus of this study was to explore expecting parents’ use of digital sources and how this influences their health during pregnancy.MethodsA systematic review covered the thematic analysis of 39 articles.FindingsThe analysis resulted in the following theme: The digitalised society involves both opportunities and challenges, and expecting parents express a need for a variety of digital sources to improve their health, and sub-themes: Digital sources could promote parents’ health and well-being in a digitalised society; Consuming digital health information facilitates understanding, different feelings and social connections; and A variety of digital sources may facilitate parental identification and adaption to parenthood.ConclusionDifferent digital sources in our digitalised society mean access to information and opportunities to extend social connections for expecting parents. This can promote their ability to understand and adapt to parenthood, as well as to improve their health and well-being and make the parental transition. However, professional support during face-to-face consultations cannot always be exchanged to digital sources. It is important to base digital sources devoted to expecting parents and digitalisation overall on multi-sectorial collaborations and coordination between different organisations and the digital sources they provide.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common inflammatory lung disease in premature infants. To study the hypothesis that the sensitivity of the lung to inflammatory injury depends on the developmental stage, we studied postnatal lung development in transgenic mice expressing human interleukin-1β (hIL-1β) in the lungs during the late canalicular-early saccular, saccular, or late saccular-alveolar stage. Overexpression of hIL-1β in the saccular stage caused arrest in alveolar development, airway remodeling, and goblet cell hyperplasia in the lungs as well as poor growth and survival of infant mice. Overexpression of hIL-1β during the late canalicular-early saccular stage did not adversely affect lung development, growth, or survival of the pups. Mice expressing hIL-1β from the late saccular to alveolar stage had smaller alveolar chord length, thinner septal walls, less airway remodeling and mucus metaplasia, and better survival than mice expressing hIL-1β during the saccular stage. Human IL-1β overexpression in the saccular stage was sufficient to cause a BPD-like illness in infant mice, whereas the lung was more resistant to hIL-1β-induced injury at earlier and later developmental stages.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Little is known about the influence of maternal inflammation on neonatal outcome. Production of IL-1beta in the lungs of newborn infants is associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Using bitransgenic (bi-TG) mice in which human (h) IL-1beta is expressed with a doxycycline-inducible system controlled by the Clara cell secretory protein promoter, we have shown that hIL-1beta expression causes a bronchopulmonary dysplasia-like illness in infant mice. To study the hypothesis that maternal hIL-1beta production modifies the response of the newborn to hIL-1beta, doxycycline was administered to bi-TG and control dams from Embryonic Day 0, inducing production of hIL-1beta by the bi-TG dams before hIL-1beta production started in their bi-TG fetuses, or from Embryonic Day 15, inducing simultaneous production of hIL-1beta by both the bi-TG dams and their bi-TG fetuses. In addition to the lungs, hIL-1beta was expressed at low levels in the uteri of bi-TG dams. Maternal inflammation preceding fetal inflammation increased the survival and growth of hIL-1beta-expressing pups, enhanced alveolarization, and protected the airways against remodeling and goblet cell hyperplasia. Maternal hIL-1beta production preceding fetal hIL-1beta production caused silencing of several inflammatory genes, including CXC and CC chemokines, murine IL-1beta, serum amyloid A3, and Toll-like receptors 2 and 4, and suppressed the expression of chitinase-like lectins Ym1 and Ym2 in the lungs of infant mice. Maternal inflammation protects the newborn against subsequent hIL-1beta-induced lung inflammation and injury. In contrast, induction of hIL-1beta production simultaneously in bi-TG dams and their fetuses offered no protection against inflammatory lung disease in the neonate.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BackgroundFamily members are important in the recovery process of persons with severe burns; however, few previous studies have focused on how this group experiences care and rehabilitation.ObjectiveTo explore family members’ experiences and needs, during the time in hospital and after discharge.MethodologyExplorative study with a qualitative descriptive design. Ten semi-structured interviews with family members of injured persons treated at the national burn centres were recorded digitally, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using content analysis.FindingsFive categories were related to experiences during care: Experiencing excellent treatment and support, Experiencing mistrust and a rejecting attitude, Feelings of chaos and shock, Being the hub of the family network, Feeling hope and thankfulness. Three categories were related to experiences during rehabilitation: Ambiguous feelings, Multifaceted support and Handling the situation.ConclusionThe experiences of the time in hospital and during rehabilitation are individual and comprise a mixture of positive and negative experiences and a diversity of needs. The results suggest that healthcare professionals should be proactive and identify specific needs for support as well as provide individualized treatment of family members.

- Aim: The aim of this study was to explore family members’ experiences of support during burn care and during the rehabilitation phase after hospital discharge.Background: Family members are important in the recovery process of patients with severe burns; however, few previous studies have focused on how this group experiences and values support during care and rehabilitation.Methods: Ten semi-structured interviews with family members of patients treated at the national burn centres were recorded digitally, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using content analysis. The informants were included nationwide, most were females, and different socioeconomic groups were represented.Results: Categories related to experiences during care were: Nonsupport, Professional support, Support from family and friends, A wish for support, and That little something extra. Categories related to experiences during rehabilitation were: Nonsupport, Professional support, Support from family and friends, Support from the injured person and Religion. Support from other family members and friends was generally considered the most important source of support, and there was a wish for more proactive support from care professionals.Conclusion: The experience of support is individual, which makes supporting family members a complex task. Individualized treatment of family members and their inclusion in the care process are of central importance, as is identifying specific needs for support both during the time in hospital and during rehabilitation. It is important to be proactive and offer support.

Family members of patients with severe burns: Experiences during care and rehabilitation
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim was to explore experiences of care and rehabilitation in family members of patients with burns. Ten semi-structured interviews analyzed using qualitative content analysis resulted in seven categories related to the care: Feeling distress, Receiving excellent care, Being treated in an insensitive way, Reluctance towards giving care, Being the hub of the family network, Feeling hope, and Being thankful. Six categories were related to rehabilitation: Ambiguous feelings, Difficulties after discharge, Being forced to take responsibility, Handling the situation, Gaining support and Being thankful. Although there are positive experiences during care, family members experience the time in hospital and after discharge as distressful and could benefit from being cared for in a more individualized way. Improved communication between caregivers and the family member may be important. Family members need to be included in the planning of care and support offered at discharge could ease the burden on these individuals.
