Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The SOM (Society Opinion Media) institute at the University of Gothenburg conducts annual surveys of the Swedish public. It explores, among other things, media consumption, confidence in societal institutions and different professional groups. Since 2002, an independent and influential Swedish non-profit membership organisation that works to promote dialogue and openness between researchers and the public called Vetenskap & Allmänhet—which stands for Public and Science—has added a section to the SOM survey to study public confidence in science and scientists. The current study, which examines the hypothesis that media reports of research misconduct will have an impact on public confidence in science and scientists, has been performed in cooperation with the SOM Institute, University of Gothenburg. The study involves comparing the SOM survey results to the number of articles on research misconduct published between 2002 and 2013. Media included in the study are the nine largest Swedish newspapers, including four tabloids, and a news programme on Swedish public service TV.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2021 Sweden’s first national portal for citizen science will be launched to help researchers practice sustainable and responsible citizen science with different societal stakeholders. This paper present findings from two surveys on attitudes and experiences of citizen science among researchers at Swedish universities. Both surveys provided input to the development of the national portal, for which researchers are a key stakeholder group. The first survey (n=636) was exclusively focused on citizen science and involved researchers and other personnel at Swedish University of Agricultural Science (SLU). 63% of respondents at SLU had heard about citizen science (CS) prior to the survey; however a majority of these (61%) had not been involved in any CS initiative themselves. Dominant reasons for researchers choosing a CS approach in projects were to enable collection of large amounts of data (68%), improving the knowledge base (59%), improving data quality (25%), promote participants’ understanding in research (21%) and promote collaboration between the university and society (20%). The other survey (n=3 699) was on the broader topic of communication and open science, including questions on CS, and was distributed to researchers from all Swedish universities. 61% of respondents had not been engaged in any research projects where volunteers were involved in the process. A minority of the researchers had participated in projects were volunteers had collected data (18%), been involved in internal or external communication (16%), contributed project ideas (14%) and/or formulated research questions (11%). Nearly four out of ten respondents (37%) had heard about CS prior to the survey. The researchers were more positive towards having parts of the research process open to citizen observation, rather than open to citizen influence/participation. Our results show that CS is a far from well-known concept among Swedish researchers. And while those who have heard about CS are generally positive towards it, researchers overall are hesitant to invite citizens to take part in the research process.

”Vi måste förbereda oss för att antibiotika slutar fungera”

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- 11 forskare: En framtid utan verksam antibiotika är inte nödvändigtvis ett undergångsscenario eller en nattsvart dystopi. Men samhällets alla sektorer måste förbereda sig i god tid. Då kan detta postantibiotiska samhälle mycket väl utgöra en levbar framtid.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Antibiotikaresistens väcker vår oro. Det är inte konstigt – varje år dör hundratusentals människor runt om i världen på grund av infektioner av resistenta bakterier, och problemet växer. Är vi på väg mot en värld utan verksam antibiotika? Vad skulle en sådan postantibiotisk framtid i så fall innebära för mänskligheten? I denna tvärvetenskapliga antologi diskuterar forskare med olika inriktningar människans sätt att förhålla sig till antibiotika. Med utgångspunkt i frågor som rör medicin, politik, kultur, kommunikation och arkitektur utforskar de antibiotikans historiska, sociala, ekonomiska och politiska dimensioner. Tillsammans visar de möjliga vägar till en levbar framtid som präglas av en mer hållbar relation till läkemedel, bakterier och socialt liv. Boken ges ut i samarbete med Pufendorfinstitutet vid Lunds universitet och den ideella organisationen Vetenskap & Allmänhet.

Involving Members of the Public to Develop a Data Collection App for a Citizen Science Project on Housing Accessibility Targeting Older Adults
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Citizen Science - Theory and Practise. - 2057-4991. ; 8:1, s. 1-12
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: While citizen science approaches are emerging within both social and health sciences, projects aimed at improving the living conditions of older adults remain rare. To enable forward-looking housing provision for the ageing population, valid and detailed information is needed on environmental barriers in the housing stock. Moreover, to promote active ageing and avoid involuntary moves to residential care facilities, there is a need for both increased public knowledge and raised awareness about accessible housing among older adults. Thus, Swedish senior citizens were engaged in a citizen science project—the Housing Experiment 2021—using a smartphone application to report environmental barriers in dwellings. Aim: This paper describes in detail the process by which varied members of the public participated to develop an application that assured reliable data collection of environmental barriers by older adults. Methods and Results: The scientific foundation for the app was the Housing Enabler. The development process comprised six iterative phases including participatory activities, namely, developing a citizen science version of the Housing Enabler; developing a print mock-up; developing an app prototype; testing and improving usability; beta version testing for reliability; final tests; and finishing touches. Discussion: Through an iterative development process involving researchers, professionals, and members of the public, a reliable app suitable for senior citizens was created. The results can serve as an inspiration for development protocols increasing the involvement of older adults in app development as well as for citizen science projects targeting older adults.
