- AimThe aim of this study was to disclose the meaning of patients and relatives lived experience of dissatisfaction when visiting an emergency department.IntroductionEven though most patients are pleased with the emergency department care, there are areas that dissatisfy them, for example lack of communication and unoccupied wait time. However, there are few studies that describe both patients and relatives experience of dissatisfaction.MethodsThis explorative study uses a phenomenological hermeneutic approach where patients and relatives were interviewed.ResultsPatients and relatives meaning of dissatisfaction mainly contain powerlessness, struggling for control over the situation, lacking knowledge and information, receiving and providing support.ConclusionsThe results showed that the experiences of dissatisfaction were similar among patients and relatives. They suffer in the same way when being treated like objects during their visits. Nursing rounds are one way to decrease dissatisfaction by making patients and relatives participating in the care continually updated with information.

Correlated electronic structure and optical response of rare-earth based semiconductors

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The coexistence of Mott localized f states with wide conduction and valence bands in f-electron semiconductors results, quite generically, in a complex optical response with the nature of the absorption edge difficult to resolve both experimentally and theoretically. Here, we combine a dynamical mean-field theory approach to localized 4f shells with an improved description of band gaps by a semilocal exchange-correlation potential to calculate the optical properties of the light rare-earth fluorosulfides LnSF (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) from first principles. In agreement with experiment, we find the absorption edge in SmSF to stem from S-3p to Sm-4f transitions, while the Gd compound behaves as an ordinary p-d gap semiconductor. In the unexplored PrSF and NdSF systems we predict a rather unique occurrence of strongly hybridized 4f-5d states at the bottom of the conduction band. The nature of the absorption edge results in a characteristic anisotropy of the optical conductivity in each system, which may be used as a fingerprint of the relative energetic positions of different states.

Does inflammation provide a link between psychosocial work characteristics and diabetes? Analysis of the role of interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein in the Whitehall II cohort study

- Objective: Inflammation may underlie the association between psychological stress and cardiometabolic diseases, but this proposition has not been tested longitudinally. We investigated whether the circulating inflammatory markers interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) mediate the relationship between psychosocial work characteristics and diabetes. Methods: We used three phases of data at 5 years intervals from the Whitehall II cohort study, originally recruiting 10,308 civil service employees aged 35-55 years. The data included repeat self-reports of job demands, control and social support, IL-6 from plasma samples, CRP from serum samples, and diabetes, ascertained through oral glucose tolerance test, medications, and self-reports of doctor-diagnosed diabetes. Results: Structural equation models with age, sex and occupational position considering men and women combined, showed that low social support at work, but not high job demands or low job control, was prospectively associated with diabetes (standardized beta = 0.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.01-0.09) and higher levels of IL-6 (beta = 0.03, CI 0.00-0.06). The inflammatory markers and diabetes were bidirectionally associated over time. A mediation model including workplace social support, IL-6 and diabetes further showed that 10% of the association between social support and diabetes over the three repeat examinations (total effect beta = 0.08, CI 0.01-0.15) was attributable to a weak indirect effect through IL-6 (beta = 0.01, CI 0.00-0.02). A similar indirect effect was observed for CRP in men only, while job control was prospectively associated with IL-6 among women. Conclusions: This study indicates an association between poor workplace support and diabetes that is partially ascribed to an inflammatory response.

Perceptual effects of noise mitigation
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Environmental Methods for Transport Noise Reduction. - : CRC Press. - 9780415675239 ; , s. 195-219
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Noise mitigation reduces the audibility of a noise source at the location of the receiver, making the source less annoying and less likely to interfere with activities, such as sleep, rest, and speech. Many mitigation methods change temporal and spectral properties of noise, which may influence perceived annoyance, over and above the effect related to the overall reduction in A-weighted sound pressure level. Noise reduction also may increase the noticeability of other sources, which may influence the perception of the overall acoustic environment. Finally, well-designed noise mitigation solutions may improve the visual environment, e.g., a vegetated noise barrier or earth berm can visually shield the traffic and increase the amount of visible greenery. This chapter provides examples of such perceptual effects of noise mitigation, from effects on perception of the noise itself, via effects on the soundscape, to potential effects on the overall audio-visual environment.

Bra förpackning skyddar och säljer i hållbart system

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Förpackningar ses ofta som en belastning för miljön och något ont som ska minimeras. Ny forskning visar att det tvärtom finns tillfällen då det är motiverat att öka mängden förpackningsmaterial, exempelvis när man kan minska spillet. Tvärvetenskapligt framtagna sätt att förpacka varor kan bidra till en hållbar utveckling och öka marginalerna för handeln. Nyckeln till effektiva varuflöden är välfyllda lastytrymmen och välanpassade förpackningssystem.

Gendered knowledges in schools – trans* young people’s experiences and schools’ strategies
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- What knowledges and understandings of gender are done and producedin schools in Sweden today? Through interviews with trans* young peopleand young adults, this study analyzes schools and adults’ abilities and knowledges to understand and meet the needs of trans* students and to address cisnormative structures in school. The participants’ narratives give a richand complex image of what it can mean to be trans* and go to school inSweden and show that many students take it upon themselves to educatethe adults in their schools about trans*-inclusion.Many participants discuss administrative violence (Spade) and culturalcis-genderism (Kennedy) that affect the mundane aspects of being inschool and the knowledges that are given space and produced. Youngtrans* people can become the bearers and sharers of knowledge aboutwhat it means to be trans* and about embodying abject(ed) identity formations, and about the necessity to manage interlocking oppressions. Theylearn about the workings of un/justice in spaces of knowledge productionand about creating support for themselves and others. On the other hand,there are experiences of embeddedness of trans* as unequivocal part ofsocial and academic knowledge production in schools.Which this presentation, I am interested in following Engel’s suggestionto analyze political struggle and changes as paradoxical, rather than linear,by exploring the paradox that such different experiences can be locatedin one person’s experiences of school, if not in the same school. I wantto argue that we need to strengthen both a rights-based approach and asubject knowledge-based approach to make schools better places beyondcis-normativity.
