Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background Neonatal seizures have been associated with increased mortality and impaired neurodevelopment and, knowledge about risk factors may be useful for prevention. Clear associations have been established between labor-related risk factors and seizures in asphyxiated neonates. However, there is limited information about why some vigorous term-born infants experience seizures. Objectives Our aim was to assess antepartum and intrapartum risk factors for seizures in vigorous term-born neonates. Methods This was a national cohort study of singleton infants born at term in Sweden from 2009-2015. Vigorous was defined as an Apgar score of at least 7 at 5 and 10 minutes. Data on the mothers and infants were obtained from the Swedish Medical Birth Register and the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register. A diagnosis of neonatal seizures was the main outcome measure and the exposures were pregnancy and labor variables. Logistic regression analysis was used and the results are expressed as adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results The incidence of neonatal seizures was 0.81/1,000 for 656 088 births. Seizures were strongly associated with obstetric emergencies (aOR 4.0, 95% CI 2.2-7.4), intrapartum fever and/or chorioamnionitis (aOR 3.4, 95% CI 2.1-5.3), and intrapartum fetal distress (aOR 3.0, 95% CI 2.4-3.7). Other associated intrapartum factors were: labor dystocia, occiput posterior position, operative vaginal delivery, and Cesarean delivery. Some maternal factors more than doubled the risk: a body mass of more than 40 (aOR 2.6, 95% CI 1.4-4.8), hypertensive disorders (aOR 2.3, 95% CI 1.7-3.1) and diabetes mellitus (aOR 2.6, 95% CI 1.7-4.1). Conclusion A number of intrapartum factors were associated with an increased risk of seizures in vigorous term-born neonates. Obstetric emergencies, intrapartum fever and/or chorioamnionitis and fetal distress were the strongest associated risks. The presence of such factors, despite a reassuring Apgar score could prompt close surveillance.

RAPPORT GEODATARÅDETS HANDLINGSPLAN 2020 : Aktivitet – 4i, Långsiktig kompetensförsörjning inom geodataområdet
- 2020
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I den nationella geodatastrategin som gäller för åren 2016–2020 återfinns målet ”Samverkan är välutvecklad” (mål nummer 4). Inom ramen för detta mål ingår en aktivitet (4i) som syftar till att säkerställa den långsiktiga kompetensförsörjningen inom geodataområdet. För att arbeta med frågan tillsattes en arbetsgrupp med representanter från Lantmäteriet och ett antal lärosäten. I denna rapport redovisas resultatet av den tillsatta arbetsgruppens undersökningar. Arbetet är i första hand inriktat på att hitta en väg framåt som kan leda till att kompetensen inom geodataområdet långsiktigt kan säkerställas och utvecklas. I uppdraget ingår även en internationell utblick. Denna har avgränsats till att avse våra nordiska grannländer, dvs. Norge, Finland, Danmark samt Nederländerna och Österrike. Geodataområdet har avgränsats till att omfatta följande områden:Geodesi Tekniska aspekter av geografiska informationssystem (GIS) och geografisk informationsteknologi (GIT)FjärranalysFotogrammetri inklusive laserskanningTekniskt lantmäteriMånga av slutsatserna från äldre rapporter och utredningar gäller fortfarande. Flera initiativ har genomförts för att komma till rätta med de identifierade problemen: samarbeten i olika forum, kostnadsfri tillgång till geodata för universitet och högskolor (via FUK-avtal), en förbättrad infrastruktur för geodata (genom forskning och regeringsuppdrag) samt utbildningssatsningar i tidig ålder (Geoskolan). Geodatarådets tidigare initiativ för att driva kompetensfrågorna i enlighet med 2012 års geodatastrategi har inte följts upp med motsvarande nya satsningar mellan åren 2016 till 2019.Det finns ett stort utbud av utbildningar inom geodataområdet utspridda på olika platser i Sverige. Kompetensförsörjningen inom geodataområdet är beroende av tillgången på välfungerande forskningsmiljöer. Goda forskningsmiljöer knyter till sig värdefulla resurser, exempelvis professorer, forskare, postdocs och doktorander. Förutom att bidra med kunskap och allokera ekonomiska resurser till forskning, förbättras lärosätenas möjligheter att kunna bedriva en attraktiv utbildning. Många gånger är en professur en nödvändighet för att åstadkomma den önskvärda forsknings- och utbildningsmiljön. Trots att flertalet utbildningsvarianter finns valbara vid ett antal lärosäten tycks tillgången på kompetens inte motsvara marknadens behov. Särskilt kritiskt tycks situationen vara för kompetenstillgången inom ämnesområdet fotogrammetri, där det idag inte finns någon profe-ssur i Sverige.Vid de tekniska högskolorna i Stockholm och Lund är söktrycket för de granskade utbildningarna gott, men få studenter väljer en inriktning mot geodata längre fram. Ämnesområdet geodata är relativt litet i förhållande till andra teknikområden och det finns en konkurrens mellan lärosätena. Detta har gjort ämnesområdet fragmentiserat med följden att inget lärosäte för närvarande tillhandahåller en komplett utbildnings- och forskningsmiljö. Det finns ett nationellt behov av en högkvalitativ masterutbildning som omfattar kärnämnena geodesi, fotogrammetri och geoinformatik. Om Sverige lyckas med att skapa en komplett masterutbildning som stöds av vitala forskargrupper bör det locka fler studenter till fortsätt utbildning, både på master- och forskarnivå. Forskningsverksamheten har flera viktiga funktioner i samhället. God forskning bidrar till att värna om Sveriges ställning som kunskapsnation och ger förutsättningar för vilken industri som etableras och stannar i landet. Aktiva forskargrupper bidrar till att skapa kompetensnätverk och får en särskild betydelse vid utbildningen av doktorander, lärare och studenter som sedan kan förse samhället med nödvändig expertkompetens. De ansträngningar som har gjorts för att försöka påverka forskningsfinansiärerna att prioritera geodataområdet har hittills varit fruktlösa. Medel får sökas inom ramen för andra forskningsprojekt. En långsiktig finansiell försörjning är en förutsättning för att forskning ska kunna bedrivas uthålligt och hålla en hög kvalitet. I Sverige finns det ingen utsedd huvudfinansiär för forskning inom geodataområdet, något som uppmärksammades redan i Geodatarådets utredning från 2008. Situationen ser likadan ut i dag, tillgången på forskningsmedel är bristfällig och det saknas en långsiktig forskningsförsörjning. I denna rapport presenteras en handlingsplan för att säkerställa den fram-tida kompetensuppbyggnaden inom geodataområdet. Arbetet bör initieras och följas upp av Geodatarådet samt utgöra en grund för inspel till kommande forskningsproposition (närmast år 2025) och dialog med berörda departement. Tre av de föreslagna aktiviteterna återges nedan:Arbeta för att skapa minst en komplett utbildnings- och forskningsmiljö som kan fungera som kompetenscentrum, och som inkluderar ämnesområdena geodesi, fotogrammetri (inklusive laserskanning) samt geoinformatik.Bilda en marknadsföringsgrupp med representanter från Geodatarådets medlemmar samt lärosäten och branschföretag som tillsammans arbetar fram en gemensam handlingsplan med aktivi-teter och kampanjer för att öka söktrycket till utbildningar med inriktning mot geodata.Ge Lantmäteriet ett forskningsfinansierande uppdrag. Formerna för ett sådant uppdrag behöver utredas närmare med andra forsknings-finansierande myndigheter som förebild. Denna lösning kräver ändringar i Lantmäteriets instruktion samt ett höjt ramanslag vilket måste tas med i beräkning vid ärendets beredning.

Geodetic SAR for Height System Unification and Sea Level Research - Results in the Baltic Sea Test Network
- 2022
-
In: Remote Sensing. - : MDPI. - 2072-4292. ; 14:14
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Coastal sea level is observed at tide gauge stations, which usually also serve as height reference stations for national networks. One of the main issues with using tide gauge data for sea level research is that only a few stations are connected to permanent GNSS stations needed to correct for vertical land motion. As a new observation technique, absolute positioning by SAR using off the shelf active radar transponders can be installed instead. SAR data for the year 2020 are collected at 12 stations in the Baltic Sea area, which are co-located to tide gauges or permanent GNSS stations. From the SAR data, 3D coordinates are estimated and jointly analyzed with GNSS data, tide gauge records and regional geoid height estimates. The obtained results are promising but also exhibit some problems related to the electronic transponders and their performance. At co-located GNSS stations, the estimated ellipsoidal heights agree in a range between about 2 and 50 cm for both observation systems. From the results, it can be identified that, most likely, variable systematic electronic instrument delays are the main reason, and that each transponder instrument needs to be calibrated individually. Nevertheless, the project provides a valuable data set, which offers the possibility of enhancing methods and procedures in order to develop a geodetic SAR positioning technique towards operability.

A follow up on the feasibility after national implementation of magnesium sulfate for neuroprotection prior to preterm birth.
- 2023
-
In: Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 1600-0412 .- 0001-6349. ; 102:12, s. 1741-1748

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The risk for brain injury manifested as cerebral palsy is higher in very preterm born children than in term. Prenatal administration of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 ) has been shown to be neuroprotective and reduces the proportion of very preterm born children later diagnosed with cerebral palsy. A Swedish national clinical practice guideline was implemented in March 2020, stipulating the administration of a single intravenous dose of 6g MgSO4 1-24h prior to delivery before gestational age 32+0, aiming for 90% treatment coverage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of this new clinical practice guideline in the first year of its implementation.Data on MgSO4 treatment were collected by reviewing the medical charts of women who gave birth to live born children in gestational age 22+0-31+6 during the period of March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021, at five Swedish university hospitals. Women with pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, or high elevated liver enzymes low platelets (HELLP) were excluded.A total of 388 women were eligible and 79% received treatment with MgSO4 . Of the 21% not receiving treatment, 9% did not receive treatment due to lack of knowledge about the clinical practice guideline, 9% were not possible to treat and 3% had missing data. The proportion treated increased from 72% to 87% from the first to the last 3months. Of those treated, 81% received the drug within the stipulated timeframe (mean 8.7h, median 3.4h).There was a positive trend over time in the proportion of women receiving MgSO4 treatment, but the a priori target of 90% was not reached during the first year of implementation. Our findings indicate that this target could be reached with additional information to clinicians.

Making themselves heard : Women’s and men’s voice through the regional petitioning process in Sweden, 1758–1880
- 2024
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, thousands of women and men contacted the Governor’s Administration of Västmanland (Länsstyrelsen i Västmanlands län), handing in petitions concerning a wide range of matters. This thesis studies these cases to deepen our understanding of women's and men's ability and need to make themselves heard through the regional petitioning process. It also elucidates how this practice was intertwined with people's endeavours to make a living by focusing on the participation’s connection to resources. By studying petition registers and a corpus of nearly 3,000 surviving petition files, it contributes to existing scholarship in three important ways.First, the thesis introduces an extended theoretical conceptualisation of the regional petitioning process, where the relationship between petitioner and respondent is integral to the petitioning itself. This inclusion shows that the commonest reason why people needed to make themselves heard, thus establishing a relationship with the governor and his administration in the first place, was because of interactions and conflicts with other people over some resource, primarily credit, land or working roles. Everyday interactions led people to use the regional administration in legally regulated disputes, which ultimately had political implications. Second, by comparing the participation of women and men as well as that of labouring people to other groups, the thesis sheds light on how the ability and need to make yourself heard varied with gender, marital status and socioeconomic status. To participate in this manner was expensive, which undoubtedly affected poor people’s ability to do so. Nevertheless, we find people from the lowest rungs of society who vehemently protected their rights, sometimes as petitioners but more often as respondents. Women's participation at the administration, as in almost all official contexts at this time, was lower than men’s, sometimes only a fraction. Despite their low levels of participation, it nevertheless took many forms, a variety that continued into the nineteenth century.Third, the investigation studies how the ways people made themselves heard through the regional petitioning process evolved over time, making it one of few Swedish studies of petitioners and respondents beyond the beginning of the nineteenth century. Its temporal setting has yielded previously unknown insights into how the development of voice through the petitioning process was connected to administrative bureaucratisation, aspects of the judicial revolution, the gradual but non-linear disappearance of household culture and the emergence of a civil citizen.

Translingual Pedagogy and Anglophone Writing Instruction in a Swedish Department of History
- 2020
-
In: Translingual Dispositions : Globalized Approaches to the Teaching of Writing. - Colorado : University Press of Colorado. - 9781646421039 - 9781642150438 ; , s. 103-132
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter describes a pedagogical approach to Anglophone writing instruction brought about by the growing use of English as an academic lingua franca. In order to meet the needs of relatively experienced academic writers located in Sweden but with diverse national and linguistic histories, that approach relies upon three central tenets: 1) learning-and-teaching is a process of collaborative inquiry, 2) participants’ experience with lingua-franca communication and its associated dispositions constitutes a resource to be supported and leveraged, 3) the work of writing takes place in conceptual spaces where writers make textual decisions, spaces that can be enlarged and structured through strategies that help student writers activate the prior knowledge derived from their linguistic, rhetorical, and educational backgrounds. This chapter describes these three pedagogical tenets, illustrates them with classroom examples, and ultimately demonstrates that this approach aligns closely with translingual theory and so supports writers as they draw, in their Anglophone writing practice, upon the translingual strategies they regularly, but perhaps not always consciously, employ in their lingua-franca communication.

Hemma och borta : Kvinnors och mäns arbete i en förindustriellkontext
- 2023
-
In: Tidskrift för Genusvetenskap. - 1654-5443 .- 2001-1377. ; 44:1-2, s. 11-33
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article uses results from a large historical study on working practices to argue that a marked spatial and gendered separation of home and work is not a historical constant. Based on data extracted from court records from the Swedish city of Västerås and its rural surroundings in the period 1720–1881, the authors show that both women and men carried out a considerable share of their work in homes rather than in dedicated workplaces. Work in homes was multi-faceted rather than specialized, and could be both paid and unpaid. Women were more often observed working in their own homes but did also provide domestic services against payment (washing, cleaning) in other people’s homes. Men tended to work more often in other people’s homes, for instance, as carpenters, painters and in other crafts.Work away from home usually happened in public places: streets, squares, fields and woods. Some forms of work were particularly likely to occur in such sites, for example trade, transport, agriculture and forestry. Men were conspicuous in places like harbors and customs gates, places that functioned as hubs in economic life. Work caused both women and men to travel away from home, but men travelled further afield, and this gendered difference became more important towards the end of the nineteenth century. This was also when more men started to work in dedicated workplaces such as factories.There are many similarities between eighteenth- and nineteenth-century society and the society we live in today. In both cases, women and men often worked/work in spatial proximity. In both cases, the distinction between home and work was/is far from sharp and not stably linked to gender.

Women's Work and the Occupational Structure in Late Nineteenth-Century Sweden
- 2023
-
In: International Review of Social History. - : Cambridge University Press. - 0020-8590 .- 1469-512X. ; , s. 1-23
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- It has long been recognized that, in order to understand economies in the past, we need better information about women's work and tertiary sector work. It is also well known that, while valuable in many ways, nineteenth-century censuses give incomplete information about women's contributions to the economy. Consequently, censuses are a poor basis for estimating the occupational structure. This article offers a solution to these problems by triangulating census data with qualitative information extracted from court records. The result is a more reasonable estimate of the first-level occupational structure in a Swedish local society (Västerås and its surroundings) around 1880. This estimate suggests that just before the onset of industrialization, around eighty per cent of the adult population, women and men, were active in primary and tertiary sector work. Compared to the census, the analysis sets women's share in the primary and the tertiary sectors at higher levels. The article has a strong methodological focus and describes in detail how the court records were analysed and adjusted to be comparable with the census.
