- In this paper we reflect on how bordering emerge in urban integration processes in relation to two geopolitical belongings. The paper emanates from a performative dialogic event, labelled Lund Irbid Parallel Walk connecting two geopolitical regions: one in Europe through the city of Lund in the South of Sweden, and one in the Middle East that is Irbid located in the North of Jordan. Here, we reflect on key places addressed through this staged dialogic event, looking into bordering processes and their effects in and around the two cities. By addressing cultural heritage areas, official government buildings, but above all areas where newcomers have settled, or been placed within the lay-out of the two cities, we trace histories, architecture, and contestations around different bordering processes, exploring how they have been shifting, and emerging. The geopolitical belongings of Lund and Irbid, representing a division between a global North and South, show interesting local complexities as regards ways of handling housing for newcomers, especially refugees, linked to the history of neighboring relations on minor as well as major scales. In this paper we point to varying mechanisms of integration in the two cities, as regards how local border-formation appears, especially as related to architectural and urban transformation.

- Aim: Vitamin A plays a role in mucosal immunity and tolerance, but the association between vitamin A status and allergy is still unclear. The aim of the study was to analyze the levels of vitamin A in serum from adolescents with or without atopic rhinoconjunctivitis. Method: Thirteen-year-old children with atopic rhinoconjunctivitis (n = 53) and non-allergic, non-sensitized controls (n = 52) were randomly selected from a population based prospective birth cohort comprising 1228 children in Northern Sweden born in 1996-1997. Vitamin A (retinol) concentrations in serum were measured with high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Multiple logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between allergy prevalence and serum vitamin A levels. Results: Multiple logistic regression analysis showed no association between serum vitamin A levels and atopic rhinoconjunctivitis prevalence; OR = 1.00 (95% confidence interval 1.00-1.00), p = 0.81. Stratification for gender revealed a trend for a higher risk for having atopic rhinoconjunctivitis with higher concentrations of vitamin A in serum for females, OR = 1.02 (1.00-1.05), p = 0.07. No such associations were found in male subjects OR = 0.99 (0.97-1.01), p = 0.15. A dose-response relationship between allergy and vitamin A concentrations were also calculated but no such relationships were found, neither for all subjects nor for male and females separately. Conclusions: Serum levels of vitamin A could neither be positively nor negatively associated with atopic rhinoconjunctivitis in Swedish teenagers.

Hospitalisation and Spatial Vagueness: Patients’ Sense of Plasticity in a Care Environment

- Hospitalised patients are faced with a brute reorientation of their normal spatial needs and preferences and are forced to adjust spatially, so they start to re-arrange their own situation according to personal needs and site-specific circumstances. This re-arrangement includes material re-positioning of institutional objects and private things, but also adjusting to the presence and needs of hospital staff and other patients. Different types of spatial restraints and opportunities may emerge in this alignment with the hospital culture and thus patients’ preferences and spatial production within this environment need to be further investigated. Patients may need not only to produce a space of their own that allows subjective and intersubjective building of territories, but also to retain a certain movement of freedom in relation to the firmness of the socio-spatial programme and the architecture that exists in hospital wards. This chapter presents an investigation of patients’ socio-spatial concerns and preferences when hospitalised. The results indicate that more attention could be paid to patients’ concerns and preferences as regards spatial flexibility, reflecting the existential necessity for vagueness as an ingredient of space and the enacted experience of plasticity as the ability to give and take form. This leads on to the conclusion that applied concepts of space and the design of hospitals could take into account a more varied range of everyday space production according to those occupying the space.

Signal sequence directs localized secretion of bacterial surface proteins.

- All living cells require specific mechanisms that target proteins to the cell surface. In eukaryotes, the first part of this process involves recognition in the endoplasmic reticulum of amino-terminal signal sequences and translocation through Sec translocons, whereas subsequent targeting to different surface locations is promoted by internal sorting signals(1). In bacteria, N-terminal signal sequences promote translocation across the cytoplasmic membrane, which surrounds the entire cell, but some proteins are nevertheless secreted in one part of the cell by poorly understood mechanisms(2,3). Here we analyse localized secretion in the Gram-positive pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, and show that the signal sequences of two surface proteins, M protein and protein F ( PrtF), direct secretion to different subcellular regions. The signal sequence of M protein promotes secretion at the division septum, whereas that of PrtF preferentially promotes secretion at the old pole. Our work therefore shows that a signal sequence may contain information that directs the secretion of a protein to one subcellular region, in addition to its classical role in promoting secretion. This finding identifies a new level of complexity in protein translocation and emphasizes the potential of bacterial systems for the analysis of fundamental cell-biological problems(4).

Carath -ett verksamhetsinitierat kvalitetsregister och processtöd : Ger toraxkirurgin bra möjlighet att följa vårdprocessen
- 2011

Ingår i: Läkartidningen. - Stockholm : Sveriges läkarförbund. - 0023-7205 .- 1652-7518. ; 108:26-28, s. 1365-1369

- Vi redovisar här våra mångåriga erfarenheter av uppbyggnaden och implementeringen av ett IT-processtöd (Carath) för specialiserad vård, i detta fall toraxkirurgi. Kombinerade kvalitets- och processdata ur Carath har givit en unik möjlighet att följa för vårdprocessen relevanta nyckeltal. Sjukvårdsprocesser är komplexa. Bristande detaljkunskap om dessa eller underskattning av tidsåtgång för planering leder till fel i databasen, vilka kan vara svåra att korrigera i efterhand. Avsevärda resurser bör avsättas för att säkerställa en god validitet på data i ett kvalitetsregister. Komplexiteten i att koppla ihop t ex kvalitetsregister och datajournal med varandra på ett tillförlitligt vis ska inte underskattas.
