Rapport Digital Mognad – gemensamma resultat VälTel 2.0
- 2022
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Allt mer i organisationer kräver digital kunskap, t ex att utföra arbetsuppgifter eller att kommunicera med externa parter. Den omställning som sker från analogt arbete till digitalt kräver kunskap, både i organisationen och hos den enskilda individen. Därför har projektet VälTel 2.0 initierat ett arbetspaket som handlar om kompetenshöjande insatser. VälTel2.0 är ett EU-finansierat projekt som arbetar för att hitta morgondagens hälsolösningar genom att öka kunskapen om innovationsprocesser, digitalisering och välfärdsteknologiska lösningar. Syftet med att använda dessa lösningar är att göra vård- och omsorg mer jämlik ur ett patient- brukar-, och medborgarperspektiv. I projektet samarbetar Östersunds kommun, Region Jämtland-Härjedalen, Åre kommun, Mittuniversitetet och kommuner i Tröndelag samt olika IT- företag. Projektet är en fortsättning på VälTel-projektet, i vilket resultatet pekar på att offentlig sektor behöver bli bättre på att testa, implementera och utvärdera nya innovationer på e-hälso- teknologiområdet, bygga kompetens kring förändrade arbetssätt, samt skapa bättre förutsättningar för samverkan med näringslivet.

Why Should You Believe in Open Data? : A Document Study Examining Persuasion Rhetoric of OGD Benefits
- 2022
-
Ingår i: International Conference on Electronic Government. - Cham : Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH. - 9783031150852 - 9783031150869 ; , s. 274-287

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The rhetoric related to benefits of Open Government Data (OGD) seems to lack anchor in practice affecting practitioners and empirical evidence restraining academia. This rhetoric could be hard to see for those already persuaded. As such, the rhetoric could contain inconsistencies that are based more on myths than facts, contributing to the slow pace of OGD development. OGD is sometimes based on dogmatic rhetoric that is overly simplistic, which hides significant benefits and blocks potential audiences from seeing the practical applications of OGD. The purpose of the present study was to analyse the persuasiveness of present OGD arguments from a rhetorical perspective to identify rhetorical patterns. We conducted desktop research, investigating the rhetoric of eight websites emphasising OGD benefits. Our findings include four common patterns of the rhetoric involving persuasion and dissuasion. The rhetoric contains paradoxes of promises and discoveries, which we categorised as the grand quest, promised opportunities, tribal solidarity, and the silver bullet patterns. A further finding was two mythical paradoxes: (1) promises versus discovery and (2) proving while arguing.

Öppen Innovation, den digitala vägen : Olika aspekter av digitaliseringen av öppen innovation
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med denna rapport är att belysa digital teknologis påverkan på innovationsarenor. Vi har inom ramen för Interreg-projekt SMICE deltagit i arbetet med skapa innovationsarenor och då använt oss av digital teknologi. Den digitala teknologiin har använts för att främja deltagandet på innovationsarenor genom att erbjuda personer som har långt till dessa eller har andra förhinder från att kunna delta fysiskt. Vi undersökte detta genom fyra olika fall där den digitala teknologin användes på olika sätt för att säkerställa deltagande på distans och genom att verifiera våra resultat med experter inom området. Våra resultat analyserades baserat på tidigare kunskap inom öppen innovation samt distanslärande och resultatet visar att digital teknologi är en resurs att räkna med när det gäller att skapa innovationsarenor. Resultaten visar också att det finns utmaningar med att använda digital teknologi såsom: identifiera digital teknologi som kan stödja processerna, lära sig använda teknologin, inkorporera teknologin i processerna och att stödja andra aktörers teknologianvändning.Vi ser fram emot att digital teknologi används mer vid skapande av innovationsarenor och att forskningen fördjupas för att det blir ett sömlöst deltagande för alla deltagare.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Arc-discharge synthesized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (AD-MWNT), or related MWNTs, exhibit a good quality compared to the more common type of MWNT synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition methods. Yet experimental measurements on these are rather few and typically have not correlated data from different measurement techniques. Here, the authors report Raman spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, conductivity measurements, and force microscopy on single AD-MWNTs. The results demonstrate the high quality of AD-MWNTs and are compatible with the view of them as the best approximation of MWNTs as an assembly of defect-free concentric individual single-walled carbon nanotubes. The authors also demonstrate conductance measurements over a step on the surface of an AD-MWNT, which is due to an abruptly broken outer layer(s), whereby the interlayer resistance is measured.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Educational environments are considered important in strengthening students’ health status and knowledge, which are associated with good educational outcomes. It has been suggested to establish healthy universities based on a salutogenic approach – namely, health promotion. The aim of this study was to describe health-promoting resources and factors among first-semester students in higher education in healthcare and social work.Methods: This cross-sectional study is based on a survey distributed among all students in seven healthcare and social work programmes at six universities in southern Sweden. The survey was carried out in 2018 using a self-reported, web-based questionnaire focussing on general health and well-being, lifestyle factors together with three validated instruments measuring health-promoting factors and processes: the Sense of Coherence (SOC) scale, Salutogenic Health Indicator Scale (SHIS) and Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ).Results: Of 2283 students, 851 (37.3%) completed the survey, of whom 742 (87.1%) were women; 722 (84.8%) were enrolled on healthcare programmes, and 129 (15.2%) were enrolled on social work programmes. Most reported good general health and well-being (88.1% and 83.7%, respectively). The total mean scores for the SOC scale, SHIS and OBQ were, respectively, 59.09 (SD = 11.78), 44.04 (SD = 9.38) and 26.40 (SD = 7.07). Well-being and several healthy lifestyles were related to better general health and higher SOC, SHIS and OBQ scores. Multiple linear and logistic regressions showed that perceived well-being and no sleeping problems significantly predicted higher general health and higher SOC, SHIS and OBQ scores. Being less sedentary and non-smoking habits were significant predictors of higher SOC.Conclusions: Swedish students in higher education within the healthcare and social work sector report good general health and well-being in the first semester, as well as health-promoting resources (i.e. SOC, SHIS and OBQ), and in some aspects, a healthy lifestyle. High-intensity exercise, no sleeping problems and non-smoking seem to be of importance to both general health and health-promotive resources. This study contributes to knowledge about the health promotive characteristics of students in the healthcare and social work fields, which is of importance for planning universities with a salutogenic approach.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Vilken betydelse har digitaliseringen för anställdas arbetskvalitet? I denna studie av två tillverkningsföretag inom svensk flygindustri visas hur detta är beroende av ledningens val av innovationsstrategi. I det ena företaget var strategin att genom digital teknik involvera flera kategorier av anställda i gemensamt beslutsfattande om konstruktioner och arbetsinstruktioner, vilket samtidigt både begränsade deras möjligheter att fatta beslut om det egna arbetet och ökade arbetstakten. I det andra företaget var strategin att genom digital teknik endast involvera en viss kategori av anställda i mer övergripande frågor, varvid en annan kategori av anställda inte bara uteslöts, utan också fick mindre beslutsutrymme när det gällde det egna arbetet.

Exploring the Medical Caregivers' Perceptions of Technology Acceptance for an Online Speech and Language Assessment Application Among Stroke Patients
- 2023

Ingår i: International Journal on Advances in Life Sciences. - : International Academy, Research and Industry Association (IARIA). - 1942-2660. ; 15:1-2, s. 1-10

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Stroke is a globally increasing disease and speech and language deficiencies are common in stroke survivors. To facilitate medical caregivers in their professional work and to improve patients’ quality of life, technology can play an important role. However, the use and acceptance of technology are uncertain and more research is needed in this direction. This study evaluates the technology acceptance and adoption of an online speech and language assessment application. The evaluation-focused Design Science Research strategy was adopted for that purpose. Two physiotherapists, one occupational therapist and three speech therapists participated in the study. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was used as the theoretical base for interview questions formation and data analysis. The study findings show that the suggested application is useful and easy to use; however, it should be better synchronised with speech therapists’ daily work routines. The speech therapists stressed that the functionalities of the application should be designed in close collaboration with them, and it should be compatible with the already existing systems and services in place. Due to impairments after stroke, the patients have some specific preferences for software and hardware; such as a tablet with a touch pen is the preferred hardware. Additionally, the interface should have bigger text fonts and pictures, and highly contrastive colours in the graphics should be used for patients’ convenience. The user’s privacy and security, the patient’s current health, and their previous knowledge and experience with technology were also found important determinants for the intention to use the given technology.

- Speech and language loss is the most common disease for stroke survivors. The process of relearning communication skills is difficult and a time taking process. Technology-enhanced systems (TES) can be useful in speech and language relearning, however, the acceptance and usability of TES for stroke patients have been a matter of concern and more research is needed in this area. This study is therefore aimed to explore the factors that might influence the acceptance of technology-enhanced speech and language relearning after stroke. A systematic literature review was conducted to determine the technology acceptance factors. To ensure the state of the art in the given field, 97 articles written from 2016 to April 2021 were retrieved with a search string aligned to the research question. After applying the exclusion criteria and quality assurance, 13 articles were selected for inclusion. An overview of selected articles, their chosen methodology, and main findings from the articles was presented in a pre-defined table. The results show that patients’ physical and cognitive condition, the intensity of relearning exercises, native language, the involvement of friends and family, technical assistance and training, selection of hardware and usability of the graphical interface are important factors for acceptance of TES. Stroke patients tend to use TES. Independent living, treatment in the home environment, and improved quality of life are the major motivations for use of TES. However, TES should be tailor-made and a user-centre approach should be adopted. Finally, proper education and training are essential not only for the patients but for the speech therapists and patients’ relatives and friends as well.
