Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This doctoral thesis sets out to analyse the development of the unemployed movement in Sweden during the period 1920–34. The study is divided into two parts. The first is empirical and descriptive while the second is interpretive and explanatory, and seeks to examine why this phenomenon developed in the way it did. Mass unemployment in Sweden between the World Wars did not cause the same social tensions as in many other countries. This relative peace endured despite high and consistent unemployment and hard living conditions for the unemployed. These conditions served as sources for tensions present in the unemployed movement, and which some actors sought to take advantage of and even exacerbate. Andréasson argues that a major reason that society did not take a more radical turn in the period was that the reformist labour movement actively moderated these tensions. This was done by the Social Democratic Party (SAP) changing the environment of the unemployed organisations, for example by using local unemployment policy to polish off the rough edges of the national unemployment policy. More important was the crisis politics in the early 1930s that helped narrow the socio-economic gap between those who had and those who did not have a job. The Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO) neutralised the movement of the unemployed by introducing changes within the unemployed movement itself, involving a variety of strategies. After 1933, the LO and SAP dominated and were able to direct the activities of most of the organisations that existed. Gaining control over the unemployed was as important for the LO and SAP as being able to exert control over other forces that might threaten to weaken their long-term strategies and aims. There was a conviction within the unemployed movement that mass unemployment was largely a consequence of technological developments in production. This argument had roots dating back to the early stages of industrialism in England when Luddites had attacked production machinery. The coalition of organisations of unemployed workers in Sweden during the 1920s and 1930s did not seriously consider engaging in machine-breaking activities. The movement’s criticism of technology did not extend into the Swedish model which envisioned the development of machinery as a way to prevent rising unemployment.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Motion-based games offer positive effects on physical, social, and mental health for the players and have been common during the past decade, enabled by commercial motion tracking devices. However, little is known about the impact of game mechanics on the player experience, movement, and performance in motion-based games. In this paper we present results from a study with 35 participants comparing two different game mechanics, one reactive and one strategic, for a casual motion-based game. The assumption was that a more strategic mechanic would lead to less movement but more enjoyment. However, there was no significant difference in player experience, performance, or movement between the two game mechanics. In addition, a key aspect for the players preferred game mechanics was the perceived amount of thinking the game mechanic required.

- Objective: To assess the reliability of speech variables and speech-related quality indicators in the Swedish quality registry for cleft lip and palate (CLP). Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Primary care university hospitals. Participants: Fifty-two 5-year-old children with unilateral CLP and 41 with bilateral CLP. Main Outcome Measures: Registry data for “percent nonoral errors” and “perceived velopharyngeal competence” (VPC) were compared to reassessments by 4 independent judges based on audio recordings. Interjudge agreement for “percent consonants correct” (PCC) and the reliability of 3 quality indicators were also assessed. Agreement was calculated with single measures intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for articulation outcomes, quadratic weighted κ and ICC for VPC, and percentage agreement and κ for quality indicators. Results: When the agreement between registry data and the judges’ reassessments was assessed, the ICC was 0.79 for percent nonoral errors. For VPC, the κ coefficient was 0.66 to 0.75 and the ICC was 0.73. Interjudge agreement for PCC calculated with ICC was 0.85. For the quality indicator “proportion of children with ≥86% correct consonants,” all 4 judges were in agreement for 72% of the cases. For “proportion of children without nonoral speech errors” and “proportion of children with competent or marginally incompetent velopharyngeal function,” the agreement between registry data and the 4 judges was 89% and 85%, respectively. Conclusions: The results indicate that registry data on PCC, percent nonoral errors, VPC, and the quality indicators “proportion of children without nonoral speech errors” and “proportion of children with competent or marginally incompetent velopharyngeal function” are reliable. © 2020, American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Priority setting within health systems has not led to accountable, fair and sustainable solutions to improving population health. Providers, users and other stakeholders each have their own health and service priorities based on selected evidence, own values, expertise and preferences. Based on a historical account, this article analyses if contemporary health systems are appropriate to optimize population health within the framework of cross cutting targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We applied a scoping review approach to identify and review literature of scientific databases and other programmatic web and library-based documents on historical and contemporary health systems policies and strategies at the global level. Early literature supported the 1977 launching of the global target of Health for All by the year 2000. Reviewed literature was used to provide a historical overview of systems components of global health strategies through describing the conceptualizations of health determinants, user involvement and mechanisms of priority setting over time, and analysing the importance of historical developments on barriers and opportunities to accomplish the SDGs. Definitions, scope and application of health systems-associated priority setting fluctuated and main health determinants and user influence on global health systems and priority setting remained limited. In exploring reasons for the identified lack of SDG-associated health systems and priority setting processes, we discuss issues of accountability, vested interests, ethics and democratic legitimacy as conditional for future sustainability of population health. To accomplish the SDGs health systems must engage beyond their own sector boundary. New approaches to Health in All Policies and One Health may be conducive for scaling up more democratic and inclusive priority setting processes based on proper process guidelines from successful pilots. Sustainable development depends on population preferences supported by technical and managerial expertise.

Accountable priority setting for trust in health systems : the need for research into a new approach for strengthening sustainable health action in developing countries
- 2009

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Despite multiple efforts to strengthen health systems in low and middle income countries, intended sustainable improvements in health outcomes have not been shown. To date most priority setting initiatives in health systems have mainly focused on technical approaches involving information derived from burden of disease statistics, cost effectiveness analysis, and published clinical trials. However, priority setting involves value-laden choices and these technical approaches do not equip decision-makers to address a broader range of relevant values - such as trust, equity, accountability and fairness - that are of concern to other partners and, not least, the populations concerned. A new focus for priority setting is needed. Accountability for Reasonableness (AFR) is an explicit ethical framework for legitimate and fair priority setting that provides guidance for decision-makers who must identify and consider the full range of relevant values. AFR consists of four conditions: i) relevance to the local setting, decided by agreed criteria; ii) publicizing priority-setting decisions and the reasons behind them; iii) the establishment of revisions/appeal mechanisms for challenging and revising decisions; iv) the provision of leadership to ensure that the first three conditions are met. REACT - "REsponse to ACcountable priority setting for Trust in health systems" is an EU-funded five-year intervention study started in 2006, which is testing the application and effects of the AFR approach in one district each in Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia. The objectives of REACT are to describe and evaluate district-level priority setting, to develop and implement improvement strategies guided by AFR and to measure their effect on quality, equity and trust indicators. Effects are monitored within selected disease and programme interventions and services and within human resources and health systems management. Qualitative and quantitative methods are being applied in an action research framework to examine the potential of AFR to support sustainable improvements to health systems performance. This paper reports on the project design and progress and argues that there is a high need for research into legitimate and fair priority setting to improve the knowledge base for achieving sustainable improvements in health outcomes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We demonstrate how to prepare extraordinarily deformable, gas-filled, spherical capsules from nonmodified cellulose. These capsules have a low nominal density, ranging from 7.6 to 14.2 kg/m(3), and can be deformed elastically to 70% deformation at 50% relative humidity. No compressive strain-at-break could be detected for these dry cellulose capsules, since they did not rupture even when compressed into a disk with pockets of highly compressed air. A quantitative constitutive model for the large deformation compression of these capsules is derived, including their high-frequency mechanical response and their low-frequency force relaxation, where the latter is governed by the gas barrier properties of the dry capsule. Mechanical testing corroborated these models with good accuracy. Force relaxation measurements at a constant compression rendered an estimate for the gas permeability of air through the capsule wall, calculated to 0.4 mL mu m/m(2) days kPa at 50% relative humidity. These properties taken together open up a large application area for the capsules, and they could most likely be used for applications in compressible, lightweight materials and also constitute excellent model materials for adsorption and adhesion studies.

- Travelling-wave and time-domain-based protection functions provide significant response time improvements over conventional phasor-based protection functions in power systems. These types of protection functions require very high sampling rates in the order of several hundreds of kHz. This paper proposes a novel centralized substation protection architecture (CPC) based on distributed signal processing units (DSPU) that enables the deployment of these high sampling rate applications in digital substations utilizing an Ethernet-based process-level network. The design of the DSPU is elaborated, and its signal processing algorithms are discussed. Moreover, the performance of the DSPU is analysed through dynamic tests and verified through a numerical electromaanetic transient simulation.

CREATIVE INDUSTRIES GLOBAL NETWORK (CIGN) - PROJECT OUTCOMES AND CONCLUSION: CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AT NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEVELS
- 2017

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This abstract and subsequent paper will focus on the outcomes of the Erasmus(+) project (CIGN) paying particular attention to curricular developments that have been implemented at both national and international levels in Scotland, Sweden, Germany, Belgium and Canada. The paper begins with a short resume of the three-year project to date and describes the research and curricular development phases followed by modular implementation at national levels. The process and results of student and peer evaluations of modules that had a first delivery in the partner countries during the 2016/17 sessions will also be investigated. The paper will then address how information and experiences were disseminated to a broader audience. This included module descriptors, learning and teaching materials, news and conference presentations and workshops throughout the lifespan of the project. As part of the curriculum development and dissemination stages, the project also hosted two staff development workshops. In the paper, the impact that these have had on participating organisations from around the world will be reviewed. This included the closing conference held in Germany in May 2017. The opportunities for dissemination and the impact that this event had on participating delegates will be discussed in the paper. The paper will also pay particular attention to the impact that the CIGN project had on individual Higher Education Institution (HEI) curricula at partner and associate partner institutions across Europe and beyond, as well as how the project impacted the national curriculum in Scotland. We will particularly focus on how this curricular development impacted upon external, (non-partner) associate universities and organisations. These included associate universities and colleges from Estonia, Switzerland, Russia, Portugal, the USA and Malaysia. Dissemination of project results to non-partner organisations such as: Sector Skills Councils in the UK; GRAFKOM in Sweden; KOMM (an industry organization for agencies within nine different disciplines of marketing communication) and The Swedish Graphic Industries Federation; (GF) an employer and trade organisation for Swedish companies within the graphic and packaging industry; The European Graphic/Media Industry Network (EGIN) and the International Circle of Educational Institutes for Graphic Arts Technology and Management (IC), will also be investigated. The paper will conclude with the way forward for collaboration between existing and future associate partners.
