Mälsåker Revisited: Museum och Iscensättning. : Kungl Konsthögskolan. Restaureringskonst 2015-2016
- 2016
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Rapporten redovisar arbeten från kursen Restaureringskonst på Konsthögskolan som under läsåret 2015-2016 har arbetat med tema Museum och Iscensättning. Hur kulturmiljöer påverkas när de blir museum, hur man restaurerar för museum, hur man bevarar och utvecklar en plats för kunskapsutbyte, bildning och upplevelser. Mälsåkers slott, utanför Mariefred, förvaltat av Statens Fastighetsverk, var studieobjekt för 20 studenter, (yrkesverksamma arkitekter, antikvarier, ingenjörer, konservatorer m fl) där utbildningens olika studiemoment som uppmätning, inventering, dokumentation har tillämpats. Fältarbetet har följts av studier i historik, kulturhistorisk värdering och analyser som gett visioner och gestaltningsförslag på ny verksamhet i slottet. Rapporten presenterar förslagen, med text, skisser, foton och ritningar. Fyra olika typer av museum med varierande grad av åtgärder, förändringar och utveckling av slottet. Restaureringsexperiment redovisas utifrån traditionella och digitala dokumentationsmetoder. Dessutom finns arbeten om barockens ljus, bladguld, brandskydd, pod-radio, kraftstation, engelska parken, dekorationsmålade tak, Gustavianum, Julius Kronbergs ateljé och barockträdgård m m. Förslagen visar att det är möjligt att transformera Mälsåkers barockslott till ett museum av idag med bibehållen historik och synliga tidslager.

Söka & värdera. Nätbaserad introduktion till informationssökning och informationshantering
- 2011
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med rapporten är att berätta om projektgruppens arbete med att utveckla webbkursen Söka & värdera: Grundkurs i informationssökning och informationshantering. Målgrupp för webbkursen är alla nyantagna studenter vid Göteborgs universitet. Nya studenter kommer till GU med varierande kunskaper i informationssökning och informationshantering. Idag når bibliotekets undervisning långt ifrån alla studenter. En kurs på webben ger ökad flexibilitet och tillgänglighet och därmed möjlighet att nå fler studenter. Söka & värdera syftar till att lägga en gemensam kunskapsgrund för nyantagna studenter vad gäller informationssökning och informationshantering. Kursen fungerar också som utgångspunkt för universitetsbibliotekets fortsatta, ämnesanpassade fördjupningskurser. Därmed får studenterna möjlighet att rusta sig bättre för sina högskolestudier. Ett effektmål blir alltså att kursen bidrar till att höja kvaliteten i grundutbildningen och underlättar genomströmningen. Kursinnehållet täcker de generiska kompetenser som omfattas av Högskolelagen och som brukar sammanfattas som informationskompetens: förmågan att söka, kritiskt värdera och (etiskt) hantera information. Webbkursen är också en del av universitetsbibliotekets arbete med GU:s handlingsplan mot fusk/plagiering. Webbkursen lanserades i september 2011 och har sedan dess presenterats i flera sammanhang och fått ett positivt mottagande. Dessutom har fyra studentgrupper fått testa och utvärdera kursen. Kursen Söka & värdera gör det möjligt för institutioner/fakulteter att försäkra sig om att alla studenter erbjuds möjlighet att tillägna sig grundläggande kunskaper om informationssökning, informationshantering och akademisk hederlighet. För att nå alla nya studenter vid Göteborgs universitet behövs ett GU-gemensamt beslut att göra kursen obligatorisk.

GiraffPlus : D1.1 User Requirements and Design Principles Report
- 2012
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This document reports on the work performed in Task 1.1 User requirements analysis and Task 1.2 GiraffPlus Environment Design Principles. Specifically, it describes the results of a deep involvement of users, both primary (elderly living in their apartment), and secondary (health care professional or family members and friends) recruited in our studies. The report details the qualitative and quantitative research carried out in the three countries of Sweden, Spain and Italy, to elicit user requirements and expectations in terms of type of services as well as system design and appearance. Some qualitative cross-cultural analysis has also been performed in order to highlight differences emerged during the studies in the three countries. Result of this effort is list of user requirements and a set of preferences on different mockups of a component of the system that can be both used to influence the future architecture definition and functional specification of the GiraffPlus system. The work described in this deliverable constitutes the starting point of T1.3 Technological Component Assessment and Selection and overall provides useful hints to the whole system development.

Signs of Acquiring Bimodal Bilingualism Differently : A Longitudinal Case Study of Mediating a Deaf and a Hearing Twin in a Deaf Family
- 2013
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation based on a case study explores the acquisition and the guidance of Swedish Sign Language and spoken Swedish over a span of seven years. Interactions between a pair of fraternal twins, one deaf and one hearing, and their Deaf[1] family were video-observed within the home setting.The thesis consists of a frame which provides an overview of the relationship between four studies. These describe and analyze mainly storytime sessions over time. The first article addresses attentional expressions between the participants; the second article studies the mediation of the deaf twin’s first language acquisition; the third article analyses the hearing twins acquisition of parallel bimodal bilingualism; the fourth article concerns second language acquisition, sequential bimodal bilingualism following a cochlear implant (CI). In the frame, theoretical underpinnings such as mediation and language acquisition were compiled, within a sociocultural frame. This synthesis of results provides important information; in the 12- and 13-month sessions simultaneous-tactile-looking was noted in interchanges between the twins and their mother; mediation of bilingualism was scaffolded by the caregivers with the hearing twin by inserting single vocal words or signs into the language base used at that time, a finding that differs from other reported studies; a third finding is the simultaneousness in which the deaf child’s Swedish Sign Language skill worked as a cultural tool, to build a second and spoken language.The findings over time revealed actions that included all the family members. Irrespective of the number of modes and varied types of communication with more than one child, mediation included following-in the child’s initiation, intersubjective meaningfulness and encouragement. In accordance with previous research, these factors seem to promote the acquisition of languages. In conclusion, these findings should also prove useful in the more general educational field.[1] Deaf with a capital ‘D’ is commonly used for cultural affiliation whereas lower case ‘d’, as in deaf, refers to audiological status (Monaghan, Schmaling, Nakamura & Turner, 2003).

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research concerning the significance of assistive technology to spouses of persons who uses technology is sparse and the impact of a powered wheelchair on spouses' activity and participation is not at all researched. Thus, the aim was to explore how spouses experience the significance of a powered wheelchair prescribed to and used by their next of kin. A descriptive design with a qualitative approach focusing on the experiences of the spouses was used. The sample comprised of 10 spouses of elderly people that have been prescribed a powered wheelchair. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the ten spouses (nine women and one man). The participants were 65-86 years of age. The questions posed during the interview concerned: i) the significance of the powered scooter for personal everyday activities, participation and quality of life; ii) the significance of the scooter for shared activity and participation; and iii) the significance of the next of kin using a scooter, from the perspective of the spouse. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The results showed that the spouses experienced that their everyday life and life situation had changed in a positive way as their next of kin received a powered wheelchair. They experienced a sense of freedom that had an impact on their own activities as well as on the activities they performed together with their next of kin. The spouses expressed that they now to a larger extent shared responsibility for different tasks in the home and also how the powered wheelchair had made it possible to spontaneously do things together again and to do things with more ease. In conclusion, the narratives of the spouses of the elderly powered wheelchair users were to a great extent positive. The powered wheelchair was of great value and brought freedom to everyday life.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: To explore spouses’ experiences of the value of mobility scooters prescribed to their partner.Material and Methods: A descriptive design with a qualitative approach was used. Thirteen spouses (11 females) aged 65–86 years participated. Semi-structured interviews were conducted when the spouse’s partner had had the mobility scooter for 4–6 months. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis.Results: The interviews showed primarily that the spouses experienced that their everyday lives and life situation had improved since their partner had received a mobility scooter. They reported that they could engage in activities of their own choice to a greater extent. The prescription of a mobility scooter to their partner had also yielded a sense of freedom related to shared activities. On the other hand, the spouses described some of the scooter’s limitations. Three categories emerged: a sense of freedom related to thespouse’s own activities, a sense of freedom related to shared activities and a somewhat restricted freedom.Conclusion: Prescription of a powered mobility scooter was of value to the users’ spouses because it facilitated independent and shared activities and participation in the community. The value was mainly expressed as a sense of freedom when doing things on their own or together with their partner. Spouses are key persons in the rehabilitation of people with mobility restrictions. Their views on the assistive device may influence the rehabilitation process. Knowledge of spouses’ experiences is thus crucial, as this may influence the future rehabilitation outcome.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse the cost-effectiveness of prescribing powered mobility devices (PMDs) to elderly users.Methods: Forty-five persons participated in the preand post-intervention study with a follow-up at four months. All participants were prescribed a scooter model and were offered individual support to get started using the PMD. In the analysis, the use of the PMD was compared to the situation prior to its use. The cost-utility analysis takes a societal perspective and considers costs, savings and quality of life (QoL) using answers to the EQ-5D questionnaire.Results: Costs for the first year with the PMD were 1395 USD and then 592 USD per subsequent year. There was a significant decrease in transportation costs and in relatives' time use, but the increase in QoL of 0.041 was not significant. Costs per gained quality adjusted life year (QALY) were 12 400-14 700 USD/QALY if the value of time saved not was considered and 600-2900 USD/QALY when an hour was valued at 3.6 USD.Conclusion: Prescription of PMDs to elderly users might be cost-effective. However, there are shortcomings in measuring QALY gains from the use of a PMD, and it is unclear how time savings among relatives should be valued.Implications for RehabilitationPrescription of powered mobility devices for the elderly with disability seems to be cost effective and should be a standard intervention.In economic evaluations of powered mobility devices and other assistive devices, the commonly used analyses methods are not always appropriate and therefore need to be adjusted.
