A conceptual framework for curriculum design in physiotherapy education: an internationaöl perspective
- 2003
-
Ingår i: Advances in Physiotherapy. ; 5:4, s. 161-8
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Globalization is having a significant impact on healthcare and physiotherapy education, among other sectors, can benefit from this trend. The main aim of this work was to develop and describe a conceptual framework for physiotherapy curriculum design and, in doing so, to stimulate international debate on physiotherapy education. The framework was developed through an international collaboration and was tried out in the participating schools in order to refine it further. The current framework consists of three elements to be taken into account in physiotherapy curriculum design: (1) The content aspect or the knowledge base of physiotherapy; (2) the learning aspect or the student's learning process; and (3) the socio-cultural context aspect, which concerns the way in which physiotherapy is experienced and practised. The content aspect includes a description of core concepts of physiotherapy: body, movement and interaction, and acknowledges that physiotherapy should be science-based. The learning aspect and the socio-cultural context aspect form separate parts of the framework. Nonetheless, all aspects are intertwined and reflect theory-practice integration. This framework is offered for critical reflection and as the basis for a debate on the development and evaluation of physiotherapy programmes. Further work is needed in testing the relevance of this framework for curriculum design in different countries and settings. Keywords: Core knowledge; curriculum development; physiotherapy practice; professional issues; post-graduate education; socio-cultural context; student's learning; theory-practice integration; undergraduate education

Surgical treatment of gingival recessions using emdogain gel: clinical procedure and case reports
- 2003
-
Ingår i: Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. ; 23, s. 607-613
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article describes the clinical procedure and outcome of surgical treatment of gingival recessions with the adjunctive use of Emdogain gel, an enamel matrix derivative bioactive material for periodontal reconstructive surgery. Six cases with gingival recession on maxillary canines are presented with 12 months of follow-up. Initial gingival recession averaged 4.8 mm, with a mean probing pocket depth of 2.2 mm. At the 12-month follow-up, a mean of 3.5 mm of root coverage was observed (ie, 73% root coverage, range 60% to 100%). Probing pocket depth averaged 1.7 mm, indicating a 4-mm gain of clinical attachment (range 3 to 5 mm). On a clinical level, mucogingival surgery in combination with the application of Emdogain gel results in predictable root coverage and gain of clinical attachment while maintaining shallow pockets.

Child mortality, wealth and education: direct versus indirect effects
- 2003
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Controlling for the Egyptian household choice of health infrastructure (i.e., sanitation facility and water accessibility) is done by means of a discrete choice approach consistent with the random utility model. Evidence of the importance of the indirect effect of the source of drinking water on child mortality is found. Furthermore, changes in wealth and education levels are assessed taking into consideration a priori the choice of health infrastructure. The analysis suggests that wealth and education contribute to the child mortality reduction.

The effect of water and sanitation on child mortality in Egypt
- 2003
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper assesses water and sanitation´s impacts on child mortality in Egypt. The analysis is conducted using a three-part model specification, comprising discrete choice to model the child prospects of dying during the neonatal period. The remaining parts uses transition models to model infant and childhood risk of death where unobserved heterogeneity is accounted for. The results show that access to municipal water decreases the risk and sanitation is found to have a more pronounced impact on mortality than water. The results suggest that increasing awareness of the Egyptian population relative to health care and hygiene is an important feature to decrease child´s mortality risk. Moreover, gender discrimination is found to be of an important effect beyond the neonatal period.

Using stated preference methods to evaluate the impact of water onhealth: the case of metropolitan Cairo
- 2003
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper analysis the impact of better water quality on health improvements using two stated preference methods: choice experiments and the contingent valuation method. These methods were administered to a random sample of 1500 households living in metropolitan Cairo, Egypt. The results indicate that households living in Metropolitan Cairo have a positive but rather small willingness to pay for reducing health risks owing to water quality.

Water and Health in Egypt: An Empirical Analysis
- 2003
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis is an empirical work dealing with water issues in Egypt where the emphasis is put on the analysis of the relationship: inadequate water quality and health impacts. The first chapter includes a general discussion of water resources in Egypt and other developing countries. This chapter briefly also deals with water tariffs and sustainable water pricing in Cairo. In the second chapter the impacts of water and sanitation on child mortality in Egypt are assessed. The analysis is conducted using a three-part model specification, comprising discrete choice to model the child prospects of dying during the neonatal period. The remaining parts use transition models, in which unobserved heterogeneity is accounted for, to model infant and childhood risk of death. The results show that access to municipal water decreases the risk, and sanitation is found to have a more pronounced impact on mortality than water. The results suggest that increasing the awareness of the Egyptian population relative to health care and hygiene is an important means to decrease the risk of child mortality. Moreover, gender discrimination is found to have an important effect beyond the neonatal period. In the third chapter, controlling for the Egyptian households' choice of health infrastructure (i.e., sanitation facility and water accessibility) is done by means of a discrete choice approach consistent with the random utility model. Evidence of the importance of the indirect effect of the source of drinking water on neonatal mortality is found, but generally the indirect effect is negligible. Furthermore, changes in wealth and educational levels are assessed taking into consideration a priori the choice of health infrastructure. The analysis suggests that wealth and education contribute loosely to the child mortality reduction. The fourth chapter analyzes the impact of better water quality on health improvements using two stated preference methods: choice experiments and the contingent valuation method. These methods were administered to a random sample of 1500 households in metropolitan Cairo, Egypt. The results show that both methods give quite the same welfare measures. Moreover, households in metropolitan Cairo do have a positive willingness to pay for reducing health risks owing to water quality that amounts to roughly double their current water bills. This finding suggests that the willingness to pay is rather small compared to the likely cost.

Det gyllene tillfället : Teori och strategi för global rättvisa
- 2003
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Varje gång som världens makthavare samlas möts de av allt kraftigare och våldsammare protester. Men är den våldsamma konfrontationen en möjlig väg framåt för den globala rättviserörelsen? Och varför reagerar makten i sin tur så häftigt? Hans Abrahamsson ser globaliseringen som en historisk process som inte är möjlig att stoppa. Men det är inte avgjort vem som ska njuta vinsterna av den eller om den ska leda till ökade klyftor mellan fattiga och rika. Med utgångspunkt hos samhällstänkare som Polanyi och Gramsci och med konkreta exempel som apartheidsystemets avskaffande i Sydafrika lanserar Abrahamsson teorin om det gyllene tillfället, när de styrande eliternas intressen av stabilitet sammanfaller med folkrörelsernas krav på förändring. Han anser att vi just nu står inför en sådan möjlighet och visar vad som krävs för att den ska kunna tas tillvara. Missar vi detta tillfälle är alternativen minst sagt skrämmande.
