- Allt fler gravstenar har enbart namn och födelsedata. Likaså minskar antalet gravar med yrkesangivelse. Antalet gravstenar med blommor, fåglar och naturscenerier ökar. Huruvida dessa skall ses som en beskrivning av individen är osäkert, men i vissa fall är det uppenbart, t ex när tecknet utgörs av en hund eller en tydlig yrkessymbol. Liksom i dödsannonserna kan man förvänta sig att också gravstenar kommer att ge antydningar om vem den döda var. På så sätt ökar chansen till odödlighet. Detta kan då antingen göras genom indicier eller genom ikoner, dvs. ett foto av den avlidna. Av de gravstenar som presenterats här kan enbart ett fåtal med säkerhet påstås vara ikoner eller indicier. Förmodligen kommer dessa att bli vanligare i framtiden. Så finns t ex två gravstenar på Västra kyrkogården i Halmstad där den ena har dels en färgbild av den avlidna svenska kvinnan, dels en flygande kolibri som suger nektar ur en blomma. Dessutom sitter en liten groda ovanpå naturstenen. Den andra stenen är rest över en invandrad och har dels en fjäril, dels ett kors, vilka båda är kristna tecken. Över korset finns ett fiskespö med en krokad fisk. Enligt min mening visar dessa tydligt på strävan efter odödlighet. Aven om jag kommer tillbaka om 20 år så vet jag hur kvinnan såg ut utan att någonsin ha träffat henne. Likaså vet jag att den invandrade mannen tyckte om att fiska, och kanske också var troende kristen.

Individual preferences for physical exercise as secondary prevention for non-specific low back pain : a discrete choice experiment
- 2017

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Exercise is effective in improving non-specific low back pain (LBP). Certain components of physical exercise, such as the type, intensity and frequency of exercise, are likely to influence participation among working adults with non-specific LBP, but the value and relative importance of these components remain unknown. The study's aim was to examine such specific components and their influence on individual preferences for exercise for secondary prevention of non-specific LBP among working adults. Methods: In a discrete choice experiment, working individuals with non-specific LBP answered a webbased questionnaire. Each respondent was given ten pairs of hypothetical exercise programs and asked to choose one option from each pair. The choices comprised six attributes of exercise (i.e., type of training, design, intensity, frequency, proximity and incentives), each with either three or four levels. A conditional logit regression that reflected the random utility model was used to analyze the responses. Results: The final study population consisted of 112 participants. The participants' preferred exercise option was aerobic (i.e., cardiovascular) rather than strength training, group exercise with trainer supervision, rather than individual or unsupervised exercise. They also preferred high intensity exercise performed at least once or twice per week. The most popular types of incentive were exercise during working hours and a wellness allowance rather than coupons for sports goods. The results show that the relative value of some attribute levels differed between young adults (age <= 44 years) and older adults (age <= 45 years) in terms of the level of trainer supervision required, exercise intensity, travel time to exercise location and financial incentives. For active study participants, exercise frequency (i.e., twice per week, 1.15; CI: 0.25; 2.06) influenced choice of exercise. For individuals with more than one child, travel time (i.e., 20 minutes, - 0.55; CI: 0.65; 3.26) was also an influential attribute for choice of exercise, showing that people with children at home preferred to exercise close to home. Conclusions: This study adds to our knowledge about what types of exercise working adults with back pain are most likely to participate in. The exercise should be a cardiovascular type of training carried out in a group with trainer supervision. It should also be of high intensity and preferably performed twice per week during working hours. Coupons for sports goods do not appear to motivate physical activity among workers with LBP. The findings of the study could have a substantial impact on the planning and development of exercise provision and promotion strategies to improve non-specific LBP. Providers and employers may be able to improve participation in exercise programs for adults with non-specific LBP by focusing on the exercise components which are the most attractive. This in turn would improve satisfaction and adherence to exercise interventions aimed at preventing recurrent non-specific LBP.

- The focus of this study is on how final-semester students and newly-graduated teachers experience theformal objectives of teacher education, with a particular view of the concepts of learning, responsibilityand collaboration. The ways of experiencing these concepts varied from conceptions in which only onedimension is discerned from in the student teachers group to conceptions in which several dimensions ofthe phenomena are discerned in the graduate teachers group.

Ocular Fundus Morphology and Visual Function in Adolescents Born Moderate-to-Late Preterm
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Purpose: Previous studies have mostly focused on ophthalmological complications associated with being born extremely preterm despite that moderate-to-late preterm (MLP) account for 85% of all preterm births. The aim was to examine fundus morphology and visual function in adolescents born MLP, in comparison with controls born full-term.Methods: A prospective population-based cohort study of 247 MLP individuals (110 girls, gestational age 32-36 weeks) with no syndromes or history of retinopathy of prematurity participated in a neonatal study in 2002-2004. Later on, they have been included in ophthalmological follow-up studies at age 8 (n=50) and 12 (n=22). In the present study, 50 adolescents (26 girls; mean age 16.5 years) were examined regarding best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refraction, and ocular morphology, measured by optical coherence tomography (Topcon, Japan). A group of 50 adolescents (30 girls, mean age 16.7 years) born full-term served as controls. Participants with refraction outside +/-6 diopters were excluded. T-test was used for statistical analysis.Results: The MLP-group (n=48) showed a thinner macular retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) inner mean in right eye (RE) (26.4±1.5 vs 27.1±1.7 μm; p=0.029) and in left eye (LE) (26.3±1.5 vs 27.0±1.5 μm; p=0.022) compared with controls. A thinner macular RNFL outer mean was found both in RE (40.2±4.4 vs 42.6±4.2 μm; p=0.011) and LE (40.3±4.0 vs 42.1±4.3 μm; p=0.034) (Fig.1A-B). A thicker central macular retinal thickness (MRT) (249.3±20.9 vs 239.9±16.4 μm; p=0.016) and a thinner total peripapillary (pp)RNFL (104.8±8.8 vs 109.1±8.3 μm; p=0.027) were found in RE. The BCVA in best eye was lower in the MLP-group (n=50) compared with controls (-0.09±0.08 vs -0.12±0.09 logMAR; p=0.022). At age 8, MLP births showed a thinner total macular volume and a thicker foveal minimum, central MRT, and central macular RNFL in RE. At age 12, a thicker foveal minimum and thinner outer macular RNFL were found in LE.Conclusions: MLP-birth may be associated with ophthalmological macular and ppRNFL changes as well as lower BCVA in adolescence. Similar morphology findings have been shown at younger ages, thus the fundus results persist into young adulthood.
