Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- A recapitulation of the history of the the great library of the Bohemian statesman Peter Wok Rosenberg, which after his death entered the Emporor’s treasures in Prague, but was captured by the Swedish Army at the end of the Thirty Years War and brought to Stockholm, where parts still reside in the Royal Library. Its white bindings are a prominent feature of the Rosenberg collection.

‘I am your son, mother’ : Severe dementia and duties to visit parents who can’t recognise you
- 2020
-
In: Medicine, Health care and Philosophy. - : Springer. - 1386-7423 .- 1572-8633. ; 23:1, s. 17-24
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- It is commonly assumed that many, if not most, adult children have moral duties to visit their parents when they can do so at reasonable cost. However, whether such duties persist when the parents lose the ability to recognise their children, usually due to dementia, is more controversial. Over 40% of respondents in a public survey from the British Alzheimer’s Society said that it was “pointless” to keep up contact at this stage. Insofar as one cannot be morally required to do pointless things, this would suggest that children are relieved of any duties to visit their parents. In what appears to be the only scholarly treatment of this issue, Claudia Mills has defended this view, arguing that our duties to visit our parents require a type of relationship that is lost when parents no longer remember who their children are. This article challenges Mills’ argument. Not only can children be duty-bound to visit parents who have lost the ability to recognise them, I argue that many children do in fact have such duties. As I show, these duties are grounded in any special interests that their parents have in their company; the fact that visiting their parents might allow them to comply with generic duties of sociability; and/or the fact that such visits allow them to express any gratitude that they owe their parents.

Closing the know-do gap for child health: UNICEF's experiences from embedding implementation research in child health and nutrition programming
- 2021
-
In: Implementation science communications. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2662-2211. ; 2:1, s. 112-

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- UNICEF operates in 190 countries and territories, where it advocates for the protection of children’s rights and helps meet children’s basic needs to reach their full potential. Embedded implementation research (IR) is an approach to health systems strengthening in which (a) generation and use of research is led by decision-makers and implementers; (b) local context, priorities, and system complexity are taken into account; and (c) research is an integrated and systematic part of decision-making and implementation. By addressing research questions of direct relevance to programs, embedded IR increases the likelihood of evidence-informed policies and programs, with the ultimate goal of improving child health and nutrition.This paper presents UNICEF’s embedded IR approach, describes its application to challenges and lessons learned, and considers implications for future work.From 2015, UNICEF has collaborated with global development partners (e.g. WHO, USAID), governments and research institutions to conduct embedded IR studies in over 25 high burden countries. These studies focused on a variety of programs, including immunization, prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, birth registration, nutrition, and newborn and child health services in emergency settings. The studies also used a variety of methods, including quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods.UNICEF has found that this systematically embedding research in programs to identify implementation barriers can address concerns of implementers in country programs and support action to improve implementation. In addition, it can be used to test innovations, in particular applicability of approaches for introduction and scaling of programs across different contexts (e.g., geographic, political, physical environment, social, economic, etc.). UNICEF aims to generate evidence as to what implementation strategies will lead to more effective programs and better outcomes for children, accounting for local context and complexity, and as prioritized by local service providers. The adaptation of implementation research theory and practice within a large, multi-sectoral program has shown positive results in UNICEF-supported programs for children and taking them to scale.

Escherichia coli in infants' intestinal microflora: colonization rate, strain turnover, and virulence gene carriage.
- 2003
-
In: Pediatric research. - 0031-3998. ; 54:1, s. 8-14
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Colonization by Escherichia. coli in infants might have decreased in the last decades, owing to changes in hospital routines and family lifestyle. In this study, the E. coli flora was characterized in 70 healthy Swedish infants followed for the first year of life. E. coli was isolated from rectal swabs obtained at 3 d of age and quantified in fecal samples collected at 1, 2, 4, and 8 wk of age and at 6 and 12 mo of age. Strains were typed using random amplified polymorphic DNA, and their virulence factor genes were identified by multiplex PCR. Colonization by E. coli occurred late; only 61% of the infants were positive by 2 mo of age. The turnover of individual strains in the microflora was slow (1.5 strains per infant during 6 mo, 2.1 during 1 y). Environmental factors, such as siblings, pets, or feeding mode, did not influence colonization kinetics or strain turnover rate. Genes encoding type 1 fimbriae, P fimbriae, and hemolysin were significantly more common in E. coli strains persisting for at least 3 wk in the microflora than in transient strains. The P-fimbrial class III adhesin gene was more common in E. coli from children who had a cat in their homes than in E. coli from children without pets (p = 0.01); this adhesin type is common in E. coli from cats. The late colonization and low E. coli strain turnover rate suggest limited exposure of Swedish infants to E. coli. Our results confirm that P fimbriae and other virulence factors facilitate persistence of E. coli in the human colonic microflora.

Att främja läsning för unga : Vad säger forskning omläsfrämjande för och medunga i områden med socioekonomiska utmaningar?
- 2024
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I nuläget sker varken läsfrämjande insatser eller forskning i någon större utsträckning kring denna grupp unga. Fokus har under långtid lagts på barn och deras tidiga läsutveckling för att kunna säkerställa läsförmågan.Den befintliga forskningen visar att unga i områden med socioekonomiska utmaningar läser i mindre utsträckning än mer resursstarka unga. När det gäller unga med hög inre läsmotivation är skillnaderna i läsvanor mellan grupperna liten. Andelen läsmotiverade är emellertid lägre bland unga med begränsade resurser. Samtidigt kan denna grupp av unga ägna sig åt läsning om omständigheterna kräver det. Olika former av yttre motivation och läsande förebilder, kan därför vara verkningsfulla. Det centrala är att dessa unga behöver få tydligare förklaringar till varför det är viktigt med läsning, och vilken verklig nytta det kan ge dem. Social läsning och så kallad interaktiv motivation kan också stärka läsningen.Många unga i områden med socioekonomiska utmaningar behöver läsmaterial från olika medier och i olika format, utifrån ett vidgat textbegrepp. Valet av läsmaterial har betydelse eftersom läsning skiljer sig mellan ovana och mer vana unga läsare. Socioekonomiska utmaningar präglar även språkförmågan negativt, både hos unga med låga inkomst nivåer och unga som inte har normspråket svenska som modersmål. De senare bär även på erfarenheter av att deras språkförmåga får ett negativt bemötande av normsamhället. Flerspråkiga unga får enligt forskning inte tillräckligt institutionellt stöd i sina olika språk. Forskning kring folkbibliotekens involvering av unga i områden med socioekonomiska utmaningar, har belyst olika exempel på hur biblioteksrummet kan utformas på ett bättre sätt för att passa ungas skilda behov av bland annat socialt umgänge, studier, digital teknologi och avkoppling. Metoder för deltagande forskning och modeller för att öka ungas delaktighet, kan utgöra inspiration för folkbiblioteken och andra aktörer som främjar läsning. Ungas deltagande går även i linje med ungdomspolitiken. Det behövs mer forskning om läsvanor och motivation bland unga och unga vuxna i områden med socioekonomiska utmaningar.Det saknas svensk statistik enligt internationell modell, kring gruppens representation i litteraturen. Frågorna är angelägna för såväl kulturpolitiken som för samverkande aktörer inom läsfrämjande.
