Interaktiva arenor : kulturmöten som gnisslar och berikar
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Samverkan mellan forskare och praktiker är en form för kunskapsutveckling som idag föreskrivs av flera finansiärer av arbetslivets forsknings- och utvecklingsprogram. Denna interaktiva forskning utgår från teoriramar som skiljer den från traditionell forskning. Den innebär också att forskaren möter praktiska problem att hantera i sitt arbete. Vårt paper handlar om gnisslet i den interaktiva forskningens kulturmöten: det som i synonymordboken beskrivs som slitning, konflikt, motsättning, skavning och motstånd.Forskningstraditioner. I vår genomgång belyser vi problem (missförstånd och motstånd) som kan uppstå i mötet mellan olika forskningstraditioner och ämnesdiscipliner, t ex i mötet mellan positivistisk och interaktiv forskningssyn, mellan genusforskare och naturvetare/tekniker. Interaktiv praktik. Här reflekterar vi över erfarenheter från tillämpad genusforskning, över problem kring rollidentitet och rollkonflikter som finns inbyggda i konstruktionen i möten mellan forskare och praktiker där rollerna är svåra att urskilja, och över det motstånd vi möter i processer som syftar till att integrera genus och att åstadkomma jämställdhet.I vår diskussion reflekterar vi över det motstånd vi möter i förändringsarbetet, vilket bland annat genereras av de metoder vi använder i vårt interaktiva förhållningssätt. Olika kulturer möts – aktörer med olika bakgrund, erfarenheter och logik. Vi ser ett ökat behov av teoretiskt reflekterad metod- och metodologiutveckling – och inte minst en förståelse för detta hos dem som finansierar forskning och utveckling

- Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated climate data represents long-term average thermal conditions at coarse spatial resolutions only. Hence, many climate-forcing factors that operate at fine spatiotemporal resolutions are overlooked. This is particularly important in relation to effects of observation height (e.g. vegetation, snow and soil characteristics) and in habitats varying in their exposure to radiation, moisture and wind (e.g. topography, radiative forcing or cold-air pooling). Since organisms living close to the ground relate more strongly to these microclimatic conditions than to free-air temperatures, microclimatic ground and near-surface data are needed to provide realistic forecasts of the fate of such organisms under anthropogenic climate change, as well as of the functioning of the ecosystems they live in. To fill this critical gap, we highlight a call for temperature time series submissions to SoilTemp, a geospatial database initiative compiling soil and near-surface temperature data from all over the world. Currently, this database contains time series from 7,538 temperature sensors from 51 countries across all key biomes. The database will pave the way toward an improved global understanding of microclimate and bridge the gap between the available climate data and the climate at fine spatiotemporal resolutions relevant to most organisms and ecosystem processes.

Gender mainstreaming the innovation system Skåne Food Innovation Network : a description and some reflections
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We are working as a research team of intermediates and researchers in supporting and initiating activities and processes within the Skåne Food Innovation Network (SFIN), aiming at implement gender mainstreaming in the activities, projects and initiatives taken by this innovation milieu.Guided by feminist research on organisation, innovation and regional development our research project is structured as an action research project in which we closely collaborate with SFIN, in which learning and knowledge sharing processes are core activities.Finding methods in how to support the project managers to let gender awareness and gender mainstreaming efforts trickle the network is a challenge. Working with gender equality and gender mainstreaming processes also craves for legitimacy and trustworthy.To begin the work and getting access, we have come to start in the very processes run by the project managers of the SFIN. By starting in the everyday work of the project manager, we have been able to identifying processes, issues and questions of how to deal with gender equality. Below we reflect on these processes and the work being carried out this far.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Heart failure (HF) and cancer are common diseases among the elderly population. Many chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus (DM), share risk factors and increase the incidence of HF and cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate if there was an association between HF and the prevalence of haematologic- and solid malignancies. Methods The study population was comprised of almost one million adults living in southern Sweden in 2015. All participants were divided into seven age groups from 20 and onwards, and 10 percentiles according to their socioeconomic status (SES). All data concerning diagnoses from each consultation in both primary- and secondary health care were collected during 18 months. The prevalence of haematologic and solid malignancies was measured separately for men and women, age groups, SES and multimorbidity levels. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the associations between HF and the probability of having haematologic- and solid malignancies in more complex models including stratifying variables. Results People with HF had a higher prevalence of haematologic- and solid malignancies than the general population, but a lower prevalence of solid malignancies than the multimorbid population. The people with HF had an increased OR for haematologic malignancies, 1.69 (95% CI 1.51–1.90), and solid malignancies, OR 1.21 (95% CI 1.16–1.26), when adjusted for gender and age. In more complex multivariate models, multimorbidity explained the increased OR for haematologic- and solid malignancies in people with HF. Increasing socioeconomic deprivation was associated with a decreased risk for solid malignancies, with the lowest risk in the most socioeconomically deprived CNI-percentile. Conclusions HF was shown to be associated with malignancies, especially haematologic malignancies. Multimorbidity, however, was an even more important factor for both haematologic- and solid malignancies than HF in our study, but not socioeconomic deprivation. Further research on the interactions between the chronic conditions in people with HF is warranted to examine the strength of association between HF and malignancies.

Comorbidities in heart failure patients that predict cardiovascular readmissions within 100 days—An observational study
- 2024
-
Ingår i: PLoS ONE. - 1932-6203. ; 19:1 January
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background Heart failure (HF) commonly arises as a complication to cardiovascular diseases and is closely associated with various comorbidities. The impacts of these comorbidities in patients with HF are diverse. We aimed to analyze the increased risk for cardiovascular-related readmission within 100 days after discharge in patients with HF depending on their different comorbidities. Methods A population-based retrospective study was conducted in Region Halland with 5029 patients admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of HF during 2017–2019. The occurrence and number of comorbidities were recorded. Competing risk regression was employed to analyze the hazard ratio (HR) of 10 comorbidities for cardiovascular-related readmission within 100 days after discharge. A composite measure of the 10 common comorbidities was constructed with the comorbidities as dichotomous indicator variables and Rasch analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under curve (AUC) after logistic regression were used to estimate how well the model explained the probability of death or readmission within 100 days after discharge according to their individual comorbidity level. Results HF patients with atrial fibrillation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, peripheral artery disease or diabetes mellitus as comorbidities had an increased HR for readmission within 100 days after discharge. When these comorbidities were adjusted together, only atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had an increased HR for readmission. ROC analysis after the most complete models using logistic regression with the comorbidities as dichotomous indicator variables or Rasch analysis had a low AUC. Conclusions Atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were significantly associated with increased risk for readmission in HF patients, but ROC analysis showed a low AUC, which indicates that other factors are more important for predicting the increased risk of readmission.

- OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of heart failure (HF) in relation to age, multimorbidity and socioeconomic status of primary healthcare centres in southern Sweden.DESIGN: A cross-sectional study.SETTING: The data were collected concerning diagnoses at each consultation in all primary healthcare centres and secondary healthcare in the southernmost county of Sweden at the end of 2015.PARTICIPANTS: The individuals living in southern Sweden in 2015 aged 20 years and older. The study population of 981 383 inhabitants was divided into different categories including HF, multimorbidity, different levels of multimorbidity and into 10 CNI (Care Need Index) groups depending on the socioeconomic status of their listed primary healthcare centre.OUTCOMES: Prevalence of HF was presented according to age, multimorbidity level and socioeconomic status. Logistic regression was used to further analyse the associations between HF, age, multimorbidity level and socioeconomic status in more complex models.RESULTS: The total prevalence of HF in the study population was 2.06%. The prevalence of HF increased with advancing age and the multimorbidity level. 99.07% of the patients with HF fulfilled the criteria for multimorbidity. The total prevalence of HF among the multimorbid patients was only 5.30%. HF had a strong correlation with the socioeconomic status of the primary healthcare centres with the most significant disparity between 40 and 80 years of age: the prevalence of HF in primary healthcare centres with the most deprived CNI percentile was approximately twice as high as in the most affluent CNI percentile.CONCLUSION: The patients with HF were strongly associated with having multimorbidity. HF patients was a small group of the multimorbid population associated with socioeconomic deprivation that challenges efficient preventive strategies and health policies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: Prior studies have reported that heart failure typically affects elderly, multimorbid and socioeconomically deprived men. Women with heart failure are generally older, have a higher EF (ejection fraction) and have more heart failure-related symptoms than men. This study explored the disparities in the prevalence of heart failure between men and women in relation to age, multimorbidity level and socioeconomic status of the population in southern Sweden.DESIGN: A register-based, cross-sectional cohort study. Setting and subjects: The inhabitants from 20 years of age onwards ( N = 981,383) living in southern Sweden in 2015. Main outcome measure: Prevalence and mean probability of having heart failure in both genders. CNI (Care Need Index) percentiles depend on the socioeconomic status of their listed primary healthcare centres. RESULTS: Men had a higher OR for HF - 1.70 (95% CI 1.65-1.75) - than women. The probability of men having heart failure increased significantly compared to women with advancing age and multimorbidity levels. At all CNI levels, the multimorbid patients had a higher prevalence of heart failure in men than in women. The disparity in the mean probability of heart failure between the most affluent and deprived CNI percentile was more apparent in women compared to men, especially from 80 years.CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of heart failure differs significantly between the genders. Men had an increasing mean probability of heart failure with advancing age and multimorbidity level compared to women. Socioeconomic deprivation was more strongly associated with heart failure in women than in men. The probability of having heart failure differs between the genders in several aspects.Key PointsIndependently of socioeconomic status, men had a higher prevalence of heart failure than women among the multimorbid patients.The mean probability of men having heart failure increased significantly compared to women with advancing age and multimorbidity level.Socioeconomic status was more strongly associated with heart failure in women than in men.
