Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Abstract: New technologies have always teased the imagination of avant-garde artists on how to challenge existing cultural paradigms. For instance, experience design for the creative industries of today provides exciting challenges with a potential to innovate practices and creating new ways of interaction between the artist and her audience. In an ongoing research project we aim at framing the design space for virtual experiences. The paper presents and discusses the role of technology in such context and use three ongoing case studies where ICT has been used to augment and support consumers of cultural experiences. The analysis shows how technology-driven interventions are less oriented towards radical change compared to interventions that are rooted in their nondigital origins. 1.

VEMP using a new low-frequency bone conduction transducer
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Medical Devices-Evidence and Research. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1179-1470. ; 11, s. 301-312
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: A new prototype bone conduction (BC) transducer B250, with an emphasized low-frequency response, is evaluated in vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) investigations. The aim was to compare cervical (cVEMP) and ocular (oVEMP) responses using tone bursts at 250 and 500 Hz with BC stimulation using the B250 and the conventional B81 transducer and by using air conduction (AC) stimulation. Methods: Three normal subjects were investigated in a pilot study. BC stimulation was applied to the mastoids in cVEMP, and both mastoid and forehead in oVEMP investigations. Results: BC stimulation was found to reach VEMP thresholds at considerably lower hearing levels than in AC stimulation (30-40 dB lower oVEMP threshold at 250 Hz). Three or more cVEMP and oVEMP responses at consecutive 5 dB increasing mastoid stimulation levels were only obtained in all subjects using the B250 transducer at 250 Hz. Similar BC thresholds were obtained for both ipsilateral and contralateral mastoid stimulation. Forehead stimulation, if needed, may require a more powerful vibration output. Conclusion: Viable VEMP responses can be obtained at a considerably lower hearing level with BC stimulation than by AC stimulation. The cVEMP and oVEMP responses were similar when measured on one side and with the B250 attached to both ipsilateral and contralateral mastoids.

Toward quantifying the thymic dysfunction state in mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. - Philadelphia, USA : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. - 1078-0998 .- 1536-4844. ; 19:4, s. 881-888

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by a number of immunological alterations, not the least in the T-cell compartment. Numerous animal models of colitis have revealed aberrant thymocyte dynamics associated with skewed thymocyte development. The recent advancements in quantitative methods have proposed critical kinetic alterations in the thymocyte development during the progression of colitis. This review focuses on the aberrant thymocyte dynamics in Gαi2-deficient mice as this mouse model provides most quantitative data of the thymocyte development associated with colitis. Herein, we discuss several dynamic changes during the progression of colitis and propose a hypothesis for the underlying causes for the skewed proportions of the thymocyte populations seen in the Gαi2-deficient mice and in other mouse models of colitis.

Entrepreneurship as a Paradox : A Romantic-Ironic History of a Deviant Entrepreneurship
- 2008

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to embrace entrepreneurship as a paradox and to additionally show how an anomaly can be the foundation as well as the energy for the paradoxical, entrepreneurial process. In this paper I present, analyze and interpret two empirical cases and their stories. The theoretical contribution of the present study is the fact that we enrich our understanding of entrepreneurship as a paradox by grasping it in a romatic ironic-manner. The study ends in the following significant and illustrative paradoxes that also can be seen as conclusions: Entrepreneurship requires deviance - but also at the same time demands belonging, in the sense that entrepreneurship can be regarded as acting between endogenous self-fulfillment and exogenous purpuses. In addition, the basis of the here illustrated phenomenon is to become entrepreneurial. In the name of the romantic irony you can only become an entrepreneur, you can not be one. As soon as one thinks of oneself as an entrepreneur one ceases to be one. Conclusively, entrepreneurship is - and will become - a never-ending endeavor in which "becoming entrepreneurs" acts in-between and thereby are limited by, as well as delivered by society´s and discourse´s expectations.

Paradoxen (s)om entreprenörskap : En romantisk ironisk historia om ett av-vikande entreprenörskapande
- 2008
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this thesis is to embrace entrepreneurship as a paradox and to additionally show how an anomaly can be the foundation as well as the energy for the paradoxical, entrepreneurial process. The empirical focus is on the creative industry, in which the intimate connection between entrepreneurship, enterprise, art, culture and creativity has been illustrated and accounted for. The study is conducted with a narrative-rhetorical approach and analyzes and interprets three empirical cases and their stories.The theoretical contribution of the present study is the fact that we enrich our understanding of entrepreneurship as a paradox by grasping it in a romantic ironic-manner. The current study ends in the following significant and illustrative paradoxes that also can be seen as conclusions: Entrepreneurship requires deviance – but also at the same time demands belonging, in the sense that entrepreneurship can be regarded as acting between endogenous self-fulfillment and exogenous purposes. In addition, the basis of the here illustrated phenomenon is to become entrepreneurial. In the name of the romantic irony we have to keep in mind that you can only become an entrepreneur, you can not be one. As soon as one thinks of oneself as an entrepreneur one ceases to be one.The never-ending deviation can be seen as the root-metaphor of entrepreneurship. Conclusively, entrepreneurship is – and will become – a never-ending endeavor. This is an endeavor in which “becoming entrepreneurs” – in the name of the paradox – acts in-between and thereby are limited by, as well as delivered by society’s and discourse’s expectations of economic growth and business creation.

#metoo-management
- 2018
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- För ett drygt år sedan inleddes #metoo-rörelsen, vilken påminner oss om att det finns brister i samhället även om allt ser bra ut på ytan. Mycket talar för att #metoo inte är en övergående fluga. Det handlar inte om en samordnad aktion med ett tydligt mål och det finns heller ingen ledare för rörelsen. #metoo är en självorganiserad rörelse, ett sätt att synliggöra det som under snart sagt hela mänsklighetens historia har förtigits, förnekats och bagatelliserats trots att alla har vetat. Den här rapporten belyser #metoo-rörelsens inverkan på organisationer ur ett managementperspektiv. Vi är intresserade av fenomenet #metoo-management, vilket vi definierar som organisationers arbete med att förebygga och hantera sexuella trakasserier som en följd av #metoo-rörelsen. Det första syftet med rapporten är att ta reda på om #metoo-management förekommer. Det andra syftet är att utforska hur organisationer arbetar med #metoo-management. Det tredje syftet är att förklara varför organisationer väljer att arbeta med #metoo- management på olika sätt. Baserat på intervjuer med företrädare för tio organisationer – i flera fall väldigt olika – har vi konstaterat att #metoo-rörelsen har gett upphov till #metoo- management. Mer precist handlar #metoo-management om flera olika åtgärder och aktiviteter. Organisationer har återupprepat och preciserat sina programförklaringar mot sexuella trakasserier. Programmen har fått förnyad spridning på arbetsplatserna och ytterligare åtgärder för programefterlevnad har vidtagits. Procedurer för klagomålshantering har utvecklats, utbildningar har initierats och riskfaktorer har identifierats och reducerats. Inte minst har förekomsten av problem med sexuella trakasserier inventerats. Något överraskande kunde vi notera att det inte fanns något exempel på att programmen mot sexuella trakasserier utvärderades och att det saknades planer för att minska beroendeförhållanden mellan chefer och anställda i de organisationer där dessa var betydande. Det är viktigt att betona att det finns betydande skillnader mellan organisationer i hur intensivt arbetet med #metoo-management har bedrivits. Skillnaderna förefaller bero på flera olika faktorer. En är att incidensen av sexuella trakasserier är olika och en annan att organisationer gör olika bedömningar av hur stor skada uppdagade fall skulle göra på arbetsgivarvarumärket. Ytterligare förklaringar till intensiteten i arbetet är skillnader i hur ambitiöst arbetet har varit innan #metoo- rörelsen och att det i vissa organisationer finns större kunskaper om riskfaktorer än i andra. Slutligen förefaller organisationens storlek och synlighet spela roll genom att de är mer påpassade och därför har större anledning att undvika problem som väcker negativ uppmärksamhet
