Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna forskningsrapport sätter in sådan återanvändning av äldre byggnadsdelar och detaljer i ett större sammanhang. Detta utgörs av den marknad där byggnadsdelar och detaljer från äldre byggnader cirkulerar. Byggnadsdelar cirkulerar genom tillgång och efterfrågan, utifrån rådande ideal, skilda estetiska utgångspunkter och kunskaper, något som också är kopplat till funktionalitet och ekonomi. Fokus har därför lagts på att undersöka det utbud, de kunskaper och de synsätt som förekommer inom olika så kallade byggnadsvårdsbutiker, men rör också andra butiker där byggnadsdelar kan köpas.

The number of women who would need to be screened regularly by mammography to prevent one death from breast cancer
- 2011

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The number of women who would need to be screened regularly by mammography to prevent one death from breast cancer depends strongly on several factors, including the age at which regular screening starts, the period over which it continues, and the duration of follow-up after screening. Furthermore, more women would need to be INVITED for screening than would need to be SCREENED to prevent one death, since not all women invited attend for screening or are screened regularly. Failure to consider these important factors accounts for many of the major discrepancies between different published estimates. The randomised evidence indicates that, in high income countries, around one breast cancer death would be prevented in the long term for every 400 women aged 50-70 years regularly screened over a ten-year period.

Estimating the effects of a studded footwear subsidy program on pedestrian falls among older adults in Gothenburg, Sweden
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Accident Analysis and Prevention. - : Elsevier BV. - 0001-4575 .- 1879-2057. ; 132
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We study the effects of a studded footwear subsidy program in Gothenburg, Sweden, where a free pair of anti-slip devices was distributed to all residents aged over 65 years as a pedestrian falls prevention measure. Using a difference-in-differences approach with internal age-based controls, we find evidence of a short-term effect on emergency department visits due to slips on snow and ice during the first year of the intervention ( -45% [95% CI: - 54, - 9] in 2013), which equates to 21.8 injuries prevented (95% CI: 3.34, 39.4). A cost-benefit analysis based on this result suggests that the short-term benefits outweigh the total costs of the intervention (benefit-cost ratio: 6.9 [95% CI: 1.05-12.46]), indicating that this type of subsidy program may be an important tool for the prevention of pedestrian falls among older adults during icy weather conditions. However, replication at other sites is recommended before drawing any strong and general conclusions.

Model-based economic evaluation of ice cleat distribution programmes for the prevention of outdoor falls among adults from a Swedish societal perspective
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Injury Prevention. - : BMJ Publishing Group Ltd. - 1353-8047 .- 1475-5785.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Slipping on snow or ice poses a significant health risk among older adults in Sweden. To combat this problem, about 80 Swedish municipalities have distributed ice cleats to older citizens (65+ years old) over the last decade. This paper details a cost-benefit analysis of such programmes. Materials and methods: We developed a decision-analytical model to estimate the costs and benefits of ice cleat programmes in Swedish municipalities compared with a business-as-usual scenario. The modelled benefits of the programme were based on effect estimates from previous research, data from population and healthcare registers and a survey of attitudes to and actual ice cleat use. The modelled costs of the programme were based on resource use data collected from 34 municipalities with existing ice cleat programmes. We assessed heterogeneity in the potential impact and benefit-to-cost ratios across all Swedish municipalities as a function of the average number of days with snow cover per year. Uncertainty in the cost-benefit results was assessed using deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses. Results: The average benefit-to-cost ratio was 87, ranging from about 40 in low-risk municipalities to 140 in high-risk municipalities, implying that the potential benefits of ice cleat programmes greatly outweigh their costs. Probabilistic and deterministic sensitivity analyses support the robustness of this conclusion to parameter uncertainty and large changes in assumptions about the magnitude of the impact on ice cleat use and injuries. Conclusion: The benefits of distributing ice cleats to older adults appear to outweigh the costs from a Swedish societal perspective.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- IntroductionFall injuries caused by icy road conditions are a prevalent public health problem during winters in Sweden, especially in older populations. To combat this problem, many Swedish municipalities have distributed ice cleats to older adults. While previous research has shown promising results, there is a lack of comprehensive empirical data on the effectiveness of ice cleat distribution. We address this gap by investigating the impact of these distribution programmes on ice-related fall injuries among older adults. MethodsWe combined survey data on ice cleat distribution in Swedish municipalities with injury data from the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR). The survey was used to identify municipalities that have distributed ice cleats to older adults at some point between 2001 and 2019. Data from NPR were used to identify municipality-level data on patients who have been treated for injuries related to snow and ice. We used a triple differences design-a generalisation of difference in differences-that compared ice-related fall injury rates before and after intervention in 73 treatment and 200 control municipalities, with unexposed age groups serving as within-municipality controls. ResultsWe estimate that the average ice cleat distribution programmes reduced ice-related fall injury rates by -0.24 (95% CI -0.49 to 0.02) per 1000 person-winters. The impact estimate was larger in municipalities that distributed more ice cleats (-0.38 (95% CI -0.76 to -0.09)). No similar patterns were found for fall injuries unrelated to snow and ice. ConclusionOur results suggest that ice cleat distribution can decrease the incidence of ice-related injuries among older adults.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hur går cirkulering av byggnadsdelar och byggnadsdetaljer till? Vad kommer de ifrån och vart tar de vägen? Hur återbrukas de? I denna rapport behandlas återbruk inom den svenska byggnadsvården. En diskussion om urban materialitet och staden som kulturarv samt om den specifika kontext som cirkulering på bebyggelsenivå ingår i, sätter in dessa frågor i ett större sammanhang. Här kartläggs vilka aktörer som är involverade, såväl hantverkare som akademiker, och vilka idéer och visioner som driver dem. Vidare undersöks när och var butiker nischade mot byggnadsvård växte fram. Rapporten bidrar till ny kunskap om byggnadsvårdsfältets framväxt och verksamhet, och hur detta är relaterad till de senaste decenniernas stadsomvandling.

Evaluation of Swedish Ice Cleat Distribution Programs : From Program Design to Ice Cleat Use
- 2023
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Winter conditions, characterized by snow and lowered temperatures, can make travel by foot difficult. Older adults aged 65 and above are especially at risk of slipping and falling on icy or snowy surfaces. Minor falls can result in severe injuries due to their frailty. Traditional methods of reducing this risk, like plowing or using sand and salt, may not always be effective preventive measures. Several municipalities in Sweden have taken action to combat this issue and introduced subsidized ice cleat distribution programs for older adults. It is unclear how these programs are designed and whether they are effective in promoting the use of ice cleats. This thesis uses a mixed-method approach drawing on data collected from multiple sources to analyze and evaluate the programs. Paper I presents a program theory model, outlining the essential components required for implementing a program and describing the causal connections from the program's introduction and necessary conditions to its anticipated impact. Survey data from intervention municipalities suggest that about 40% of the target group participated by retrieving a pair of devices, and 90% of all ice cleats were eventually distributed. Paper II presents an outcome evaluation suggesting that individuals exposed to a distribution program increase ice cleat use. Analyses of the self-reported data on ice cleat use show an increase of 7.5 percentage points. Estimations suggest that general use could be 17.3% if one pair of cleats were distributed to all eligible citizens. Future research is needed to investigate the programs' effect on fall-related injuries on ice and snow. In addition, in-depth interviews with program policymakers should be considered to provide further insights into the design and implementation of these programs.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction The risk for outdoor falls tends to increase during winter due to icy road conditions. Several Swedish municipalities have introduced programs that provide their senior citizens with a pair of ice cleats in an attempt to tackle this problem. In this paper, we perform a process evaluation to identify potential barriers to the success of these programs and analyze the logic of their design. Methods We sent a survey to all 290 Swedish municipalities to collect data on the characteristics of ice cleat distribution programs. We also performed focus-group interviews with older adults to gain insight into their thoughts about ice cleat programs. We synthesized our data with existing literature on ice cleats and behavior change theory to populate a logic model to identify and analyze hidden assumptions and potential flaws using program theory analysis. Results On average, about 40% of the eligible population living in the intervention municipalities collected a pair of ice cleats. While we identified some other, but mostly minor, barriers to implementation, the main barrier appears to be a lack of scale (i.e., insufficient procurement and distribution of ice cleats), as 90% of all purchased ice cleats were eventually distributed. While previous research suggests that ice cleats can decrease injury risks if worn, we find that there is limited evidence on the effects of distribution on ice cleat use. Our interviewees emphasized the potential utility of ice cleats for staying safe and active during winter but stressed that ice cleats need to be user-friendly and of high-quality to increase the likelihood that a distribution program encourages behavior change. Conclusion Existing ice cleat distribution programs appear to have reached a meaningful share of the targeted population. Additional research is required to assess their effects on ice cleat use and injury rates.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction Ice cleats may help prevent ice-related falls in places with icy roads, but there is limited evidence about the association between ice cleat distribution and ice cleat use. Our study examined the association between Swedish municipal distribution programmes and ice cleat use among older adults (65+ years). Methods We combined data on municipal ice cleat distribution programmes (n=63) with repeated cross-sectional self-reports of ice cleat use in Sweden from 2007, 2010, 2014 and 2018. Respondents (n=63 234) were classified as exposed if they lived in a municipality with a programme, belonged to an eligible age group and responded after distribution (n=2507). Dose-response was assessed using distributed ice cleat pairs per capita (mean: 0.38). Linear probability models were used to estimate probability differences in ice cleat use between exposed and unexposed respondents, adjusting for age, sex, country of birth, education, survey wave and municipality. Ineligible age groups living in programme municipalities, who should be unaffected by ice cleat distribution, were used for bias assessment. Results Exposure to ice cleat distribution programmes was associated with 7.5 percentage points (95% CI 4.2 to 10.9) higher self-reported ice cleat use after confounding adjustment. The association was larger in municipalities that distributed one pair of ice cleats per capita (17.3 percentage points (95% CI 11.2 to 23.4)). No association was found among the ineligible age groups (-2.3 (95% CI -5.5 to 1.0)). Conclusion Distributing ice cleats to older adults may help increase their use of ice cleats in settings with icy road conditions.

Kommunernas trafiksäkerhetsarbete för oskyddade trafikanter
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Goda förutsättningar för aktiva transporter, som att promenera eller att cykla när vi tar oss till våra destinationer, är viktiga aspekter i den hållbara staden och dessutom något som kan förbättra folkhälsan. Många kommuner har identifierat säkerheten för oskyddade trafikanter som ett problem och arbetat fram vägledande strategier för hur de ska arbeta preventivt med denna trafikantgrupp (SKL, 2015:a)(SKL, 2015:a)(SKL, 2015:a), emellertid varierar åtgärderna bland kommunerna.Syftet med denna studie har varit att identifiera och teoretiskt granska, praktiskt och/eller empiriskt välgrundade interventioner som främjar säkerheten för i första hand cyklister och fotgängare. För att skapa en uppfattning om den rådande situationen har kommuner intervjuats om hur de ser på och arbetar med frågan. Tolv intervjuer genomfördes med kommuner av varierande storlekar spridda över landet och intervjumaterialet bearbetades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Resultatet visar att det finns ett starkt engagemang för att främja säkerheten för oskyddade trafikanter, men att arbetet hämmas av bristande systematik, knappa ekonomiska resurser och att även brist på kunskap kan utgöra ett hinder. Hastighetsreducerande åtgärder dominerar som främsta trafiksäkerhetsåtgärd, dock har separering av trafikslagen fått ett större fokus och utbyggnad och underhåll av GC-vägar prioriteras.Det framstår som att en systematisk och genomtänkt planering förtydligar målen och ger trafiksäkerhetsarbetet en tydligare inriktning för samtliga kommuner, oavsett storlek. Förutom det så kan ett fortsatt steg för att främja säkerheten för oskyddade trafikanter och samtidigt skapa bättre förutsättningar för aktiv transport vara att tydliggöra indikatorerna för uppföljning av trafiksäkerheten mot skyddade trafikanter.

Introducing the Novatron, a novel reactor concept
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A new magnetic mirror design is described – the Novatron – with the potential to confine fully stable compact mirror-cusp fusion plasmas. The novel design features an axisymmetric magnetic field configuration with concave curvature throughout, as seen from the outside. Moreover, the Novatron is designed to be self-stabilized against the drift cyclotron loss-cone modes (DCLC). This paper describes the fundamental topology of the magnetic field and presents an outline for the design of the magnet system.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- For Teigland, Holmberg and Felländer, the sharing economy offers people new opportunities for value creation in the European Union. With the help of digital platforms, participants in the sharing economy may cut out traditional intermediaries resulting in a cheaper exchange of goods and services. However, a vacuum of responsibility arises in the wake of digitalization, eroding provisions of labor and consumer law. Creating trust in the digital environment is a huge challenge for the sharing economy. The Union can engage more intensively in the digitalization of European societies by promoting economic growth and enhancing the capacity for innovation. The authors consider it essential to develop a ‘digital presence’ to prevent the European perspective on democracy and freedom of expression losing out to global actors.

- EU beskriver i 'Europa 2020: En strategi för smart och hållbar tillväxt för alla ''från 2010 vikten av att medlemsländernas medborgare aktivt deltar i det digitala samhället. Endast en fjärdedel av det globala behovet av informations- och kommunikationsteknologi härstammar från Europa. Samtidigt måste EU stärka sin roll i styrningen och förvaltningen av internet för att det europeiska perspektivet i frågor som demokrati och yttrandefrihet inte ska gå förlorat.
