Bakom fasaderna : byggnadsarkeologiska sätt att fånga tid, rum och bruk
- 2005

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation is about the way buildings archaeology approaches historical buildings. The aim is to show how buildings archaeology can be renewed and developed. The motivation is my belief that buildings archaeology does not fully utilize the potential of standing buildings as historical sources, which is mainly due to the traditional outlook on buildings as two-dimensional objects. When three-dimensionality is ignored, the spatial dimension disappears from the analysis and with it a significant aspect of the building which is difficult to reconstruct and discuss afterwards. The main aim of the dissertation is to expose the limitations of the two-dimensional outlook, and simultaneously to conduct a critical trial of an approach that brings the three-dimensionality of a building into buildings archaeology. To assist me I use ideas borrowed from current research and methodological development in excavating archaeology and architectural theory. With Dalby monastery as a case study, I show that three-dimensional observation can bring us much further in our understanding of a building than the two-dimensional outlook of buildings archaeology. I apply this as part of a method whereby knowledge is extracted from a building in several stages. The method analyses three forms of expression in the building: material, spatiality and use, which enable the historical building to be peopled with users who leave traces that do not reveal anything with the traditional methods of buildings archaeology. To be able to apply the method it is essential to incorporate three-dimensionality as a variable in the analysis of the building.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses how a Swedish wooden burgher house, the mid-1660s Burmeister House, was adapted over the course of 250 years to satisfy ever-changing expectations of thermal comfort. The investigation is based on the climatic conditions of the Nordic Region, where the issue of thermal comfort is crucial when attempting to understand the development of indoor environments. The article explores how spatiality, heating, and interior decor and furnishing operated and affected the inhabitants’ experiences of indoor climate and thermal comfort. The results show that Burmeister House followed a general pattern of improvement, especially with regard to innovations in heating. Burmeister House ceased to be a private residence when it was restored and turned into a historic house museum. Rather than revealing its history, restorations carried out in the twentieth century worked to conceal or remove most of the building’s more recent history. As a consequence, the house has become more difficult to use since it can no longer be efficiently heated.

Människor byggnader sammanhang : idéskrift om en utvecklad byggnadsarkeologi
- 2018
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det här är en idéskrift som visar vägen till en utvecklad byggnadsarkeologi. Utgångspunkten är ett bo-perspektiv som bejakar relationen människor, byggnader, miljö och landskap i all sin komplexitet. Byggnadsarkeologin hamnar därmed i ett nytt sammanhang, vilket stimulerar till kunskapsutbyten som går över olika ämnesfält och leder till att det byggda kulturarvet på ett tydligare sätt blir en integrerad del av den samlade kulturmiljön.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, is a major cause of disability and care burden in the elderly. This study aims to estimate the costs of formal and informal care and identity determinants of care costs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and seventy-two (AD) patients and their caregivers were recruited among patients attending regular visits at six memory clinic in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Patients with a diagnosis of AD and with an identifiable primary caregiver were eligible for inclusion. Data was collected by questionnaires at baseline, and at scheduled follow-up visits after 6 months and again after 12 months. Cognitive function was assessed with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and behavioural disturbances were measured using a brief version of the neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI). RESULTS: Total annual costs were on average 172,000 SEK, ranging from 60,700 SEK in mild dementia to 375,000 SEK in severe dementia. Costs for community care (special accommodation, home help, etc.) constituted about half of total costs of care and increase sharply with increasing cognitive impairment. Informal care costs, valued at the opportunity cost of the caregiver's time, make up about a third of total costs and also increased significantly with disease severity. Medical care costs (inpatient care, outpatient care, pharmaceuticals), on the other hand, were not significantly related to disease severity. Regression analysis confirmed a strong association between costs and cognitive function, between patients as well as within patients over time. There was also a significant influence on costs from behavioural disturbances. Sensitivity analysis showed that the method chosen to value informal care can have considerable impact on results. CONCLUSIONS: Costs of care in patient with AD are high and related to dementia severity as well as presence of behavioural disturbances. The cost estimates presented have implications for future economic evaluation of treatments for Alzheimer's disease.

Patient- and proxy-reported utility in Alzheimer disease using the EuroQoL

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study aims to compare patient- and proxy-rated utilities and health-related quality of life from individuals in different stages of Alzheimer disease (AD). Two hundred seventy-two patients and their primary caregivers were enrolled in a prospective observational study and underwent three consecutive interviews, 6 months apart. Average Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were 19.3, 18.0, and 16.4 at the three interviews; scores ranged from 0 to 30. Using the EuroQoL EQ-5D instrument, patient-rated health utilities were on average 0.833 with little variation across MMSE-based severity levels. Proxy-rated health utilities were 0.69 (MMSE >25), 0.64 (MMSE 21-25), 0.50 (MMSE 15-20), 0.49 (MMSE 10-14), and 0.33 (MMSE <10). Proxy-rated utilities, as well as changes in utilities over time, were significantly related to MMSE scores and inversely related to scores on a brief version of the neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI) and institutionalization. Utilities were highly correlated with the disease-specific quality of life instrument QoL-AD. The study shows that the EuroQoL can be used to rate utilities in Alzheimer disease, but there are important differences between patient- and proxy-ratings.
