- Objectives: We investigated apartment designs in apartment blocks built 1990-2015 in Gothenburg, Sweden. We investigated the residents' attitudes toward their previous, present, and future housing and their perceived possibilities for aging-in-place. We analyzed their apartments, focusing on the possibilities for aging-in-place in future care situations concerning bedroom capacity in a care situation; spatial proximity between bathroom, bedroom, storage, and entrance; and functional autonomy in a care situation without too much disturbance for a partner. Background: Since the 2000s, the ambition in Sweden is to enable older people to remain in ordinary housing. The possibilities for aging-in-place should therefore be considered already in the design stage, also when producing standard apartments. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were made with 30 households, with one or more resident 65 years or older. Floor plan analyses were made of their present apartments. Results: The majority displayed a pragmatic attitude toward aging, high satisfaction with their present housing situation, and good chances for aging-in-place in future homecare scenarios. The floor plan analysis shows that the three concepts of bedroom capacity, spatial proximity, and functional autonomy can be used to determine the potential for aging-in-place. Conclusions: The results suggest that architectural qualities related to aging-in-place are not automatically connected to floor size or number of rooms. Small apartments can perform better than larger ones, depending on spatio-functional organization and connections between different functions. The residents' perceived chances for aging-in-place confirm this relation. Future studies should compare different locations, production periods, and relations between size, space efficiency, and accessibility.

Bygglov Göteborg 2017.
- 2022
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I boken finns samlat beviljade bygglov för flerbostadshus i Göteborg 2017. Författarna analyserar i boken projekten och delat in dem i typer, antal och storlekar. Här beskrivs också tendenser som identifierats i byggloven, exempelvis nya kökstyper som korridorköket och entréköket. Men även planlösningsproblematik med lägenheter där alla sovrum vetter ut mot loftgång och lägenheter med stor andel kommunikationsyta. Boken lyfter också fram de goda exemplen, föredömen, som finns i materialet. Syftet med sammanställningen är att initiera en diskussion om vad som byggs, vilka lägenhetsstorlekar, vilka typer, var i staden nya bostäder byggs, vem som bygger, vilka arkitekter som ritar och vilka arkitekturkvaliteter som framgår av planlösningarna.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapporten sammanfattar en bostadsstudie som genomförts 2017–2020 på Norra Älvstranden i Göteborg. Syftet med projektet har varit att undersöka möjligheterna till kvarboende för äldre personer 65+ i lägenheter byggda cirka 1990–2015. Studiens huvudfråga har varit: – vad krävs av en bostad i ett flerbostadshus för att det ska finnas möjlighet till kvarboende för äldre personer med stora behov av vård och omsorg. Forskningsfrågan är ställd mot bakgrund av utvecklingen av svensk bostadspolitik. Där framgår att bostäder byggda under 2010-talet minskar i storlek, areamässigt. Parallellt finns ambitioner inom vårdsektorn om ökat kvarboende och att bedriva mer vård i hemmet. Möjligheten att göra det är en viktig del i att minska belastningen på sjukhus och vårdcentraler. För att fånga begreppet kvarboende och hushållens attityder har forskargruppen gjort 30 intervjuer med boende i deras hem, som tillsammans med en enkät ger en bra bild över hur bostäderna används.

Potential för kvarboende. Sovrumskapacitet - rumslig närhet - funktionell autonomi

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här rapporten sammanfattar en bostadsstudie som genomfördes 2017–2020 på Norra Älvstranden i Göteborg. Syftet med projektet har varit att undersöka möjligheterna till kvarboende för äldre personer i lägenheter byggda 1990–2015. Vad krävs av en bostad i ett flerbostadshus för att det ska finnas möjlighet till kvarboende för äldre personer med stora behov av vård och omsorg? Studiens huvudfråga är ställd mot bakgrund av utvecklingen inom svensk bostadspolitik, där bostäder byggda under 2010-talet har minskat i storlek, areamässigt. Parallellt har vårdsektorn ambitioner att bedriva mer vård i hemmet. Möjligheten att göra det är en viktig del i att minska belastningen på sjukhus och vårdcentraler. För att fånga begreppet kvarboende och hushållens attityder har forskargruppen gjort intervjuer med boende i deras hem, och tillsammans med en enkät ger det en bra bild över hur bostäderna används. Resultatet ringar in tre begrepp som är viktiga för att definiera en planlösnings potential för kvarboende: Sovrumskapacitet. Här avses tillräcklig rumslig storlek i en vårdsituation för att bedriva vård. Det krävs en fri golvyta på 300 x 310 centimeter. Rumslig närhet mellan entré, sovrum, badrum och förvaring. Rumsorganisatoriskt innebär detta att ett av sovrummen bör ligga i anslutning till entrén, med de övriga funktioner inom sex meters gångavstånd från varandra. Funktionell autonomi. Det är en vanlig situation att en person i ett parhushåll har vårdbehov, medan den andra är frisk. Det är en stor fördel om inte hela bostaden berörs av en vårdsituation. Förbindelsen mellan entré, sovrum, badrum och förvaring bör inte gå genom lägenhetens sociala rum (kök och vardagsrum). Det är också bra om det i större lägenheter finns minst ett sovrum som inte berörs av vårdsituationen. Med de tre begreppen kan kvarboendepotentialen i en planlösning beräknas och bli en tydlig faktor i diskussionen om utformningen av framtida bostäder i Sverige.

Value driven ICT for the briefing process
- 2012
-
Ingår i: ARCH12 Architecture / Research / Care / Health Perspectives on Nordic Welfare Environments. ; , s. 1-22
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The way briefing is prepared in conjunction with building projects is crucial to the project's adherence to the client's intentions. It is through the brief that the values expected are documented and transferred. However, international research has for a long time pointed out the briefing stage as a constantly recurring problem area for the construction sector. The aim of this research is to achieve a more value-driven building process by the use of ICT. The objective of this study is to improve the briefing phase using ICT.To reach this objective the following questions will be addressed:Q1: What values are defined in the briefing process?Q2: What values were created by the use of ICT?Q3: How could ICT be developed to further support a value-driven briefing process? In order to answer the research questions one of the case studies concerning a healthcare building is presented here. The ICT tool Program of Technical Standard (PTS 2012) was used to support the briefing process in the building project studied. The result of the studies is that using ICT to support the briefing process has many valuable advantages. The use of ICT-support in the briefing process makes the process more efficient. PTS enables capturing of requirements, facilitates information transfer and enables a united vision of the project. PTS also enables consistency of standard and enables benchmarking and exchange of knowledge by the fact that ten Real Estate organisations of County Councils in Sweden use and develop PTS in collaboration. The ICT-support could be improved by better supporting verification of requirements, prioritization of the client's requirements and discussions about alternative conceptual and possible solutions. This research is a part of the Eracobuild project “Value Driven Procurement in Building and Real Estate” (www.valpro.eu).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective Long-term cognitive decline is an adverse outcome after major surgery associated with increased risk for mortality and morbidity. We studied the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum biochemical inflammatory response to a standardized orthopedic surgical procedure and the possible association with long-term changes in cognitive function. We hypothesized that the CSF inflammatory response pattern after surgery would differ in patients having long-term cognitive decline defined as a composite cognitive z score of >= 1.0 compared to patients without long-term cognitive decline at 3 months postsurgery. Methods Serum and CSF biomarkers of inflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity were measured preoperatively and up to 48 hours postoperatively, and cognitive function was assessed preoperatively and at 2 to 5 days and 3 months postoperatively. Results Surgery was associated with a pronounced increase in inflammatory biomarkers in both CSF and blood throughout the 48-hour study period. A principal component (PC) analysis was performed on 52 inflammatory biomarkers. The 2 first PC (PC1 and PC2) construct outcome variables on CSF biomarkers were significantly associated with long-term cognitive decline at 3 months, but none of the PC construct serum variables showed a significant association with long-term cognitive decline at 3 months. Patients both with and patients without long-term cognitive decline showed early transient increases of the astroglial biomarkers S-100B and glial fibrillary acidic protein in CSF, and in BBB permeability (CSF/serum albumin ratio). Interpretation Surgery rapidly triggers a temporal neuroinflammatory response closely associated with long-term cognitive outcome postsurgery. The findings of this explorative study require validation in a larger surgical patient cohort.

- Postoperative neurocognitive decline is a frequent complication in adult patients undergoing major surgery with increased risk for morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms behind cognitive decline after anaesthesia and surgery are not known. We studied the association between CSF and blood biomarkers of neuronal injury or brain amyloidosis and long-term changes in neurocognitive function.In patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery (knee or hip replacement), blood and CSF samples were obtained before surgery and then at 4, 8, 24, 32, and 48 h after skin incision through an indwelling spinal catheter. CSF and blood concentrations of total tau (T-tau), neurofilament light, neurone-specific enolase and amyloid β (Aβ1-42) were measured. Neurocognitive function was assessed using the International Study of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (ISPOCD) test battery 1-2 weeks before surgery, at discharge from the hospital (2-5 days after surgery), and at 3 months after surgery.CSF and blood concentrations of T-tau, neurone-specific enolase, and Aβ1-42 increased after surgery. A similar increase in serum neurofilament light was seen with no overall changes in CSF concentrations. There were no differences between patients having a poor or good late postoperative neurocognitive outcome with respect to these biomarkers of neuronal injury and Aβ1-42.The findings of the present explorative study showed that major orthopaedic surgery causes a release of CSF markers of neural injury and brain amyloidosis, suggesting neuronal damage or stress. We were unable to detect an association between the magnitude of biomarker changes and long-term postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction.

Residential movements in connection to renovation of rented multi-residential housing: A pilot study
- 2019
-
Ingår i: IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science. - : IOP Publishing. - 1755-1307 .- 1755-1315. ; 297:1
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Residential movement and displacement as an effect of renovation has earned attention and also affected renovation practices in Sweden. While statistical studies have linked deep renovation to residential movement and displacement, there are no recent studies that investigate why people move or remain in housing areas that are renovated, and if and how the relocation is determined by the renovation. A pilot study was initiated as a means to develop a methodology to study residential movement in connection to renovation. In this paper, methodological considerations are discussed based on 31 interviews (face-to-face and telephone) with movers related to 34 municipally owned rented housing areas about to undergo renovation, as well results from a questionnaire sent to two finalised renovation projects (N=113). So far, the pilot study indicate that few relocations can be linked to the up-coming or finalised renovation in the studies cases. The questionnaire that was sent out to remaining tenants had a low response rate of 29%, and the efficiency of using questionnaires is discussed.

The voices of vulnerable tenants in renovation
- 2022
-
Ingår i: IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science. - : IOP Publishing. - 1755-1307 .- 1755-1315. ; 1078:1
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper focuses on the intersection between agendas for housing renovation and social politics for ageing-in-place and social integration of people with psycologial disabilities. The aim is to understand how elderly tenants and people on a longer sick leave are affected by a renovation. In a sample of 79 interviews, 34 tenants decided to permanently relocate as a results of a renovation. When the renovation is a driver for permanent relocation, tenants do so to avoid disturbances and temporal evacuation. If the home is subjet to a comprehensive or deep renovation, rent increases is another reinforcing factor to relocate. While tenants that move prior to a renovation worry about how the renovation will affect their daily life and their economy, tenants that move after the renovation do so because they are dissatisfied with the results of the renovation. The findings calls for awareness for how housing renovation will affect vulnerable tenants and highlights the need for the design or appropriate communication strategies.
