Förbränning av utsorterade avfallsfraktioner
- 2005
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Projektet har visat på möjligheter och problem vid förbränning av utsorterade avfallsfraktioner bestående av papper, trä och plast i fluidbädd. Denna typ av bränslen kan antingen samförbrännas eller användas som enda bränsle i en avfallspanna. I båda fallen bör gällande gränsvärden för emissioner till luft kunna klaras men man får däremot räkna med ökade drift- och underhållskostnader, främst beroende på ökade problem med påslag och korrosion. Dessa problem är starkt kopplade till bränslets innehåll av oönskade ämnen såsom klor, alkali och vissa andra metaller. Innehållet av dessa ämnen varierar kraftigt mellan olika bränslefraktioner och därmed blir omfattningen av problemen beroende både av inblandningsgrad och av bränslets ursprung. Projektet har även visat att mängden påslag kan minskas genom tillsats av svaveladditiv samtidigt som den kemiska samansättningen i påslagen förändras på ett sådant sätt att även risken för korrosion bör minska.

Som en byracka : självbiografi, estetik och politik i Agneta Klingspors författarskap
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The study deals with Agneta Klingspor’s autobiographical writings from the 1970s until today. Agneta Klingspor made her debut as an author in 1977 with the diary Inte skära bara rispa. Kvinnodagbok 1962–76 (No Cutting Only Scratching. A Woman’s Diary 1962–76). Since then she has written several novels and collections of poetry and short stories. The majority of Klingspor’s texts represent a struggle for the word, both literally and metaphorically. The aim of this study is to investigate that struggle in Agneta Klingspor’s writings on two levels: the autobiographical and the aesthetic.The dissertation is divided into four main parts. Part I reviews relevant research on literary autobiography and takes up a general discussion of referential claims in autobiographical writing, introducing Leigh Gilmore’s theory about the process of authorization, through which autobiographical writings lay claim to the right to speak, and applying it to the genderized process of authorization manifesting itself in Klingspor’s texts. Part I concludes with a sketch of the historical context surrounding Klingspor’s literary debut: the era of women’s politics of the 1970s.Part II deals with the autobiographical themes in Agneta Klingspor’s writings and with their change over time, particularly with the ways in which Klingspor uses, tests and problematizes her autobiographical narration and with how she positions herself in relation to her time and to her own texts in order to achieve authority.Part III describes the struggle for the word in Klingspor’s writings, which occurs both on an aesthetic and on a meta-literary level. The grotesque aesthetics used by Klingspor is analysed as a type of tit for tat: a feminist strategy utilized in order to block a facile understanding of her as a confessor and a woman in the literary field.Part IV juxtaposes the autobiographical and aesthetic levels in a discussion of the political position Klingspor developed in her writings – a stance which is here characterized as the “mongrel’s position”. Klingspor finds many ways of adopting this position. She plays the part of an orphan and outcast in her own life story. She develops an aesthetic attitude associated with the mongrel – she is sniffing out disreputable subject matters linked to body, gender and sexuality. Also, she takes up the position of the mongrel in the literary field, disconnecting herself from the prestigious role of an author and insisting on being a stray dog. The dissertation concludes with an analysis contrasting Klingspor’s representations with the portraits of the mothers in the recent writings of Kerstin Thorvall and Kerstin Bergström – two other well-known authors in the so-called female confessional genre of the 1970s.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to explore and describe the characteristics of awareness of the consequences of having Alzheimer's disease on everyday life occupations. Six community-dwelling participants with Alzheimer's disease were interviewed on repeated occasions about their lived experiences of everyday occupations. A phenomenological method was adopted for the analysis. The findings show that the participants discovered and explored the changes in how they performed everyday occupations in the context of their social relations and through immediate reflections on their forgetfulness. They attempted to handle the changes by adapting their behaviour. Awareness of the changes in their lives was evident in their reflections, as they tried to make sense of what was happening to them. This seemed to be related to an elusive perception of change in situations that they found impossible to influence. The participants reflected on the impact their condition had on other people near them. Their reflections also involved emotional reactions to the shortcomings they experienced. In conclusion, the findings show how these people with Alzheimer's disease were able to express awareness of the consequences of their illness through their reflections on their experiences of interaction with the occupations and the social environment.Read More: http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.1080/11038120701441080

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to uncover and describe the meanings and motives for engagement in self-chosen daily life occupations for elderly individuals with Alzheimer's disease dwelling in the community. Six participants with Alzheimer's disease were included. Data were collected through repeated interviews and observations focusing on their motives for their self-chosen occupational engagement and the significance of the daily occupations. The analysis used a qualitative comparative and interpretative method. The findings show that the participants' occupations supported their ordinary pattern of everyday life and provided them with an opportunity to be in a coherent context. The occupations also allowed them to experience and communicate autonomy and certain characteristics of their identity and provided them with a private sphere. The findings revealed certain crucial but double-edged environmental keys to occupation. By identifying and supporting everyday occupations with personal meaning and value, therapists and caregivers may contribute to the well-being of individuals with Alzheimer's disease living in their own homes.

Navigating in a changing world : experiences of everyday life from the perspective of persons with cognitive impairment or dementia
- 2007

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall aim of this thesis was to enhance the knowledge of how people with cognitive impairment or dementia experience, approach, and manage the consequences of illness in the context of everyday occupations. Listening to the subjective experiences of people with cognitive impairment or dementia, who live in their own homes, can generate a deepened knowledge of their living conditions. This knowledge might support occupation-based interventions contributing to the well-being of people with dementia. The thesis includes four studies. The participants were persons with cognitive impairment or dementia. Study I focused on nine persons work situations and the attitudes of seven workplace respondents. In Study II, the motives and meaning of everyday occupations of six persons with Alzheimer s disease were explored. In Studies III and IV, awareness of dementia in the context of occupations was investigated from two perspectives. These were the use of a phenomenological approach to the lived experiences of six persons with AD, and measurement of the relationship between occupational performance and awareness of disability in 35 older adults with cognitive impairment, AD, and other dementias. Studies I-III used qualitative interviews and observations that were analyzed with a constant comparative method (Studies I-II), and a phenomenological method (Study III). In Study IV, data were collected with the AMPS and the AAD and analyzed with descriptive, nonparametric statistics. The findings in Study I showed that the possibility of remaining at work seemed to depend on multiple factors, including the individuals apprehended ability to work and the length of the sick leave. A great variety of personal motives and meanings of everyday occupations were found in Study II. Identifying and supporting these occupations might contribute to the well-being of persons with AD living at home. A structure of awareness of disability was described in Study III with two main characteristics. These were discovering and managing changes in occupational and social interactions, and reflecting on a changing life situation. The results of Study IV showed a positive relationship between occupational performance and awareness of disability, where participants with AD were less able and less aware than participants with MCI. However, there was a large variation in awareness of disability within the diagnostic groups. In conclusion, the findings of these studies showed that everyday occupations held a variation of individual meaning for the participants, and provided them with an important arena for experiencing and expressing changes. Supporting persons to continue with occupations of individual meaning for as long as this is experienced as beneficial by the person with dementia was highlighted as an important task in care. Their perceptions of changes in everyday occupations were intertwined with their experiences of being ill, but their understanding of the illness was difficult to integrate with the changes they experienced. Furthermore, the findings showed that people with dementia may be sensitive to other peoples perceptions of them. This might be of importance in their own views of their situation, and hence significant for how to approach persons with dementia in clinical practice. Finally, a multidimensional approach using both interviews and measures is suggested to capture awareness in people with cognitive impairment or dementia.
