Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Findings We identified 76 RCTs, including 48 trials contributing individual participant data (11 704 participants) and 28 trials with aggregate data (6474 participants). The participants' weighted mean age was 42.0 years and 12 406 (71%) of 17 521 reported were women. There was suggestive evidence that behavioural activation might be beneficial (iMD -1.83 [95% credible interval (CrI) -2.90 to -0.80]) and that relaxation might be harmful (1.20 [95% CrI 0.17 to 2.27]). Baseline severity emerged as the strongest prognostic factor for endpoint depression. Combining human and automated encouragement reduced dropouts from treatment (incremental odds ratio, 0.32 [95% CrI 0.13 to 0.93]). The risk of bias was low for the randomisation process, missing outcome data, or selection of reported results in most of the included studies, uncertain for deviation from intended interventions, and high for measurement of outcomes. There was moderate to high heterogeneity among the studies and their components. 511

Utveckling och validering av modeller för att prediktera mögelväxt i byggnader
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this project we have tested a mould model originally developed by Skanska (the m-model) and a method developed by RISE in Sweden (the GLC-method) on data from both laboratory and field measurements. The laboratory measurements had durations of a few months and were made in climate chambers at RISE; the field measurements were made in 12 buildings during 30 months. In both cases, temperature, relative humidity and mould growth was assessed on six different materials. The results were used to investigate if the m-model or the GLC-method could predict when there was mould growth. Both methods could differentiate between the (dry) cases without mould and the (moist) cases with mould. However, we could not find mould resistance parameters for the tested materials to be used with the m-model. This could be because the m-model cannot predict mould growth well enough, but it can also be because the types of measurements that we have made have relative large uncertainties in relative humidity. Isotheral calorimetry was also investigated as an interesting method to study how drying affects the activity of mould fungi.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- ObjectivePsychosocial interventions can reduce cancer‐related fatigue effectively. However, it is still unclear if intervention effects differ across subgroups of patients. These meta‐analyses aimed at evaluating moderator effects of (a) sociodemographic characteristics, (b) clinical characteristics, (c) baseline levels of fatigue and other symptoms, and (d) intervention‐related characteristics on the effect of psychosocial interventions on cancer‐related fatigue in patients with non‐metastatic breast and prostate cancer.MethodsData were retrieved from the Predicting OptimaL cAncer RehabIlitation and Supportive care (POLARIS) consortium. Potential moderators were studied with meta‐analyses of pooled individual patient data from 14 randomized controlled trials through linear mixed‐effects models with interaction tests. The analyses were conducted separately in patients with breast (n = 1091) and prostate cancer (n = 1008).ResultsStatistically significant, small overall effects of psychosocial interventions on fatigue were found (breast cancer: β = −0.19 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = −0.30; −0.08]; prostate cancer: β = −0.11 [95%CI = −0.21; −0.00]). In both patient groups, intervention effects did not differ significantly by sociodemographic or clinical characteristics, nor by baseline levels of fatigue or pain. For intervention‐related moderators (only tested among women with breast cancer), statistically significant larger effects were found for cognitive behavioral therapy as intervention strategy (β = −0.27 [95%CI = −0.40; −0.15]), fatigue‐specific interventions (β = −0.48 [95%CI = −0.79; −0.18]), and interventions that only targeted patients with clinically relevant fatigue (β = −0.85 [95%CI = −1.40; −0.30]).ConclusionsOur findings did not provide evidence that any selected demographic or clinical characteristic, or baseline levels of fatigue or pain, moderated effects of psychosocial interventions on fatigue. A specific focus on decreasing fatigue seems beneficial for patients with breast cancer with clinically relevant fatigue.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective. Continuous infusion of levodopa carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) is associated with a significant improvement in the symptoms and quality of life of selected patients with advanced Parkinsons disease. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with jejunal extension (PEG/J) was first described in 1998 and has become the most common and standard technique for fixing the tubing in place for LCIG infusion. Material and methods. A workshop was held in Stockholm, Sweden, to discuss the PEG/J placement for the delivery of LCIG in Parkinsons disease patients with the primary goal of providing guidance on best practice for the Nordic countries. Results. Suggested procedures for preparation of patients for PEG/J placement, aftercare, troubleshooting and redo-procedures for use in the Nordic region are described and discussed. Conclusions. LCIG treatment administered through PEG/J-tubes gives a significant increase in quality of life for selected patients with advanced Parkinsons disease. Although minor complications are common, serious complications are infrequent, and the tube insertion procedures have a good safety record. Further development of delivery systems and evaluation of approaches designed to reduce the demand for redo endoscopy are required.

The effect of temperature and behaviour on the interaction between two dragonfly larvae species within the native and expanded range
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Studies on interaction between species are needed to observe and predict the effects of climate change on species distributions. Here we studied intra- and interspecific competition and behaviour in larvae of a native and a northward expanding dragonfly species, Sympetrum vulgatum and Sympetrum fonscolombii, respectively. We estimated growth, mortality, and behaviour (prey capture success, activity, and boldness) at 20 degrees C and 23 degrees C. The northward expanding S. fonscolombii had a higher growth rate and a higher survival compared with the native S. vulgatum in interspecific competition. In intraspecific conditions, there was no significant difference between species in mortality and growth. Temperature had no significant effect on growth and survival of S. fonscolombii, but S. vulgatum showed both a higher growth rate and a higher mortality at 23 degrees C under intraspecific conditions. There was a correlation between growth and mortality, suggesting that cannibalism and intraguild predation caused the growth differences between treatments in the competition experiments. Temperature had no significant effect on any of the behaviours. There were very few significant correlations between any of the behaviours and the life-history traits survival and growth and there were also very few significant correlations between any of the behaviours. Repeatability of behaviours over ontogeny was low. The results of the present study suggest that the range expanding S. fonscolombii has the potential to outcompete the native species, but that this competition advantage does not seem to be driven by the temperature effects explored in this study.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this explorative study was to administer a battery of questionnaires related to a broad number of psychosocial factors in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FS). By doing this, psychological factors associated with the consequences of chronic pain in patients with FS could be identified and studied in more depth. Thirty-one patients with FS were compared to 30 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with regard to feelings about self, pain/ache preoccupation, support from significant others, psychosomatic symptoms, activities of daily living, job satisfaction, and future expectations. The results of the study showed that patients with FS had significantly more negative feelings toward themselves, were more preoccupied with thinking about their pain/ache, received more practical help from significant others, experienced more limitations with regard to activities of daily living, and experienced more negative feelings about employment than patients with RA. Patients with FS were also more pessimistic about future employment than RA patients.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Med forskningsmedel från Trafikverket har Trivector Traffic och IVL Svenska Miljöinstitutet studerat möjligheterna för målstyrd planering av transportinfrastrukturen, samt utvecklat ett ramverk för en transformativ omställning till ett transporteffektivt och tillgängligt samhälle. Inom projektet har vetenskaplig och grå litteratur studerats inom två områden:Styrmedelspaket för transporteffektivitet med synergieffekter för olika hållbarhetsmål Processer för att nå samsyn kring utformning av gemensamma målbilder, styrmedel, åtgärder och metoder för att nå transporteffektivitet och olika hållbarhetsmål.Resultaten visar på behovet av minskad biltrafik och ökad transporteffektivitet för att uppnå klimatmål och socialt hållbara lokalsamhällen. En hållbar tillgänglighet kan skapas genom hållbar mobilitet, närhet och digital uppkoppling. Detta kan åstadkommas med styrmedelspaket som kombinerar åtgärder som underlättar för gång, cykel och kollektivtrafik med sådana som gör det svårare och dyrare att använda och äga egen bil i staden. Styrmedelspaketen ger positiva sidoeffekter för flera andra hållbarhetsmål samtidigt som de bidrar till ökad acceptans för omställningen.För att skapa ett mer transporteffektivt samhälle krävs samverkan och samordning av insatser. För en transport och samhällsplanering i samverkan föreslår vi en arena för kontinuerlig gemensam planering. På denna arena samverkar representanter från Trafikverket, region, kommun, samt intressenter för näringsliv och ideell sektor med tydliga mandat för att nå gemensamma mål om ett transporteffektivt och hållbart samhälle med mindre biltrafik.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Putsade fasader har utöver fukt också problem med mögel. Särskilt om ytan är täckt av ett skikt tunnputs. Den tunna putsen kyls av på natten och blir kallare än nattluften. I den kondens som uppstår på fasaden trivs alger och mögelsvampar.
