  • An Interactive Visualization Tool for Collaborative Construction Logistics Planning—Creating a Sustainable Project Vicinity
  • 2022
  • In: Sustainability. - : MDPI. - 2071-1050. ; 14:24
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The intensity of urban development is presently high, creating a construction boom. The number of transports per project is a major consideration in urban goods transport and emissions from a project. Presently, the stakeholders take part in a “blame game” in assigning fault for the emissions from construction transport and the disturbances to society in the vicinity of construction sites. Incorporation of logistics into urban planning requires an increased understanding of the interaction between construction transport flows and urban land use, and the inclusion of different stakeholders. The purpose of the study is to support collaborative planning of construction transport in urban planning, and specifically to explore how a planning tool based on interactive visualization could be designed. An action research process has generated two prototypes of an interactive visualization tool for collaborative planning of construction transport. The prototype facilitates a “shared deliberation space” by identifying alternatives and assessing predicted consequences, which supports a collaborative urban planning process. Based on the research conducted, we claim that the responsibility of construction transport planning should be taken by the municipality, i.e., the urban planning and traffic planning functions. © 2022 by the authors.

  • Störningsfri stad : slutrapport i projektet Visualiserad byggtrafikplanering för en störningsfri stadsutveckling
  • 2022
  • Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Störningsfri stad har kombinerat kunskaper inom Trafikplanering, Visualisering, Bygglogistik, Sensorer och Offentlig planering och styrning. Projektet har letts av Linköpings universitet, Institutionen för Teknik och Naturvetenskap och finansierats av Vinnova, IHS. Projektet har löpt mellan slutet av 2018 och 2021 ut. Projektdeltagare har varit VTI, RISE, Norrköpings kommun, Linköpings kommun, Stockholm stad, Uppsala kommun, Trafikverket Projekt Ostlänken, LE Lundbergs Fastigheter, Wiklunds Åkeri, Wellsec, SanktKors, Byggföretagen, Telenor och Logistikia.Projektet har utvecklat en verktygsprototyp som stöttar kollaborativ planering av byggtrafik och stadsplanering genom att visualisera pågående byggprojekts sammanlagda mängd transporter och var i staden (i form av en kartvy) det uppstår störningar i form av förseningar pga dessa. Verktyget bygger på en MATSim trafikmodell (i nuläget Norrköping) inkluderande både persontransporter (modellerat baserat på mobilnätsdata) och byggtrafik (modellerat baserat på data från bygglogistiklösningar). Med hjälp av verktyget kan olika scenarier för att minska störningarna av byggtransporter testas. För att stötta användandet av verktyget har en kollaborativ planeringsprocess som visar på hur de olika aktörerna involverade i planeringen av byggtransporter och stadsutveckling behöver interagera med varandra utvecklats. Projektet också deltagit i utvecklingen av en sensorbox (partiklar, luftfuktighet, temperatur och ljud) samt slangmätningsmetodik för att öka kunskapen om byggtransporter. Baserat på de resultat som projektet har behovsägarna har påbörjat arbeten med att bättre hantera de störningar som uppstår pga byggprojekt i staden.

  • Är barn en del av det planerande kollektivet : En studie om inkludering av barn i planering av kollektivtrafik
  • 2023
  • Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Syftet i denna rapport är att undersöka om och hur barn involveras i den regionala kollektivtrafikplaneringen. De vägledande frågorna för rapporten är följande:Hur har barnkonventionen påverkat arbetet i de regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheterna?På vilka sätt och i vilka sammanhang inkluderas barn i kollektivtrafikplaneringen?Vilka hinder och möjligheter finns för att involvera barn i kollektivtrafikplaneringen?Projektet inleddes med en litteraturstudie för att kartlägga det rådande internationella och nationella kunskapsläget i frågan om barn i kollektivtrafikplanering och, eftersom studier på specifikt det ämnet var ytterligt få, i samhällsplanering i stort. I ett andra skede av projektet genomfördes dels e-postenkäter och studier av 21 trafikförsörjningsprogram och andra relevanta dokument, dels sju semi-strukturerade intervjuer med tjänstepersoner på sex olika regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter.Sammanfattningsvis illustrerar projektet att barnkonventionens implementering i den svenska lagstiftningen inte inneburit större förändringar hos svenska regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter i det korta perspektiv som vi studerat. Detta på grund av flertalet orsaker: bristande stöd och vägledning från nationella myndigheter, politiska mål för kollektivtrafiken som inte inkluderar barn, barnperspektiv i planeringen som inte utvecklas till att också inkludera barnen.Projektet har bidragit med ny kunskap om barns mobilitet i relation till kollektivtrafiken.En viktig slutsats är att skoltrafik och linjelagd trafik är tätt sammanbundna ur ett barnsmobilitetsperspektiv och att planeringen av dessa därför också bör vara sammankoppladeför att ett barnrättsperspektiv i kollektivtrafiken på allvar ska kunna uppnås. Detta kräverkommunal och regional samordning, inte bara av trafikplaneringen, utan ocksåsamhällsplanering, så att barnens målpunkter kan vara försörjda av kollektivtrafik,särskild eller linjelagd.

  • Neurocognitive processes underlying heuristic and normative probability judgments
  • 2020
  • In: Cognition. - : ELSEVIER. - 0010-0277 .- 1873-7838. ; 196, s. 1-7
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Judging two events in combination (A&B) as more probable than one of the events (A) is known as a conjunction fallacy. According to dual-process explanations of human judgment and decision making, the fallacy is due to the application of a heuristic, associative cognitive process. Avoiding the fallacy has been suggested to require the recruitment of a separate process that can apply normative rules. We investigated these assumptions using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during conjunction tasks. Judgments, whether correct or not, engaged a network of brain regions identical to that engaged during similarity judgments. Avoidance of the conjunction fallacy additionally, and uniquely, involved a fronto-parietal network previously linked to supervisory, analytic control processes. The results lend credibility to the idea that incorrect probability judgments are the result of a representativeness heuristic that requires additional neurocognitive resources to avoid.

  • Decreased COPD prevalence in Sweden after decades of decrease in smoking
  • 2020
  • In: Respiratory Research. - : Springer Nature. - 1465-9921 .- 1465-993X. ; 21
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • BackgroundCOPD has increased in prevalence worldwide over several decades until the first decade after the millennium shift. Evidence from a few recent population studies indicate that the prevalence may be levelling or even decreasing in some areas in Europe. Since the 1970s, a substantial and ongoing decrease in smoking prevalence has been observed in several European countries including Sweden. The aim of the current study was to estimate the prevalence, characteristics and risk factors for COPD in the Swedish general population. A further aim was to estimate the prevalence trend of COPD in Northern Sweden from 1994 to 2009.MethodsTwo large random population samples were invited to spirometry with bronchodilator testing and structured interviews in 2009–2012, one in south-western and one in northern Sweden, n = 1839 participants in total. The results from northern Sweden were compared to a study performed 15 years earlier in the same area and age-span. The diagnosis of COPD required both chronic airway obstruction (CAO) and the presence of respiratory symptoms, in line with the GOLD documents since 2017. CAO was defined as post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.70, with sensitivity analyses based on the FEV1/FVC < lower limit of normal (LLN) criterion.ResultsBased on the fixed ratio definition, the prevalence of COPD was 7.0% (men 8.3%; women 5.8%) in 2009–2012. The prevalence of moderate to severe (GOLD ≥ 2) COPD was 3.5%. The LLN based results were about 30% lower. Smoking, occupational exposures, and older age were risk factors for COPD, whereof smoking was the most dominating risk factor. In northern Sweden the prevalence of COPD, particularly moderate to severe COPD, decreased significantly from 1994 to 2009, and the decrease followed a decrease in smoking.ConclusionsThe prevalence of COPD has decreased in Sweden, and the prevalence of moderate to severe COPD was particularly low. The decrease follows a major decrease in smoking prevalence over several decades, but smoking remained the dominating risk factor for COPD.

  • Lung function trajectories and associated mortality among adults with and without airway obstruction
  • 2023
  • In: American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. - : American Thoracic Society. - 1073-449X .- 1535-4970. ; 208:10, s. 1063-1074
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Rationale: Spirometry is essential for diagnosis and assessment of prognosis in COPD.Objectives: To identify FEV1 trajectories and their determinants, based on annual spirometry measurements among individuals with and without airway obstruction. Furthermore, to assess mortality in relation to trajectories.Methods: In 2002-04, individuals with airway obstruction (AO) (FEV1/VC<0.70, n=993) and age- and sex-matched non-obstructive (NO) referents were recruited from population-based cohorts. Annual spirometries until 2014 were utilized in joint-survival Latent Class Mixed Models to identify lung function trajectories. Mortality data were collected during 15 years of follow-up.Results: Three trajectories were identified among the AO-cases and two among the NO referents. Trajectory membership was driven by baseline FEV1%predicted (%pred) in both groups and additionaly, pack-years in AO and current smoking in NO. Longitudinal FEV1%pred level depended on baseline FEV1%pred, pack-years and obesity. The trajectories were distributed: 79.6% T1AO FEV1-high with normal decline, 12.8% T2AO FEV1-high with rapid decline, and 7.7% T3AO FEV1-low with normal decline (mean 27, 72 and 26 mL/year) among AO-individuals, and 96.7% T1NO FEV1-high with normal decline and 3.3% T2NO FEV1-high with rapid decline (mean 34 and 173 mL/year) among referents. Hazard for death was increased for T2AO (HR1.56) and T3AO (HR3.45) vs. T1AO, and for T2NO (HR2.99) vs. T1NO.Conclusions: Three different FEV1 trajectories were identified among those with airway obstruction and two among the referents, with different outcomes in terms of FEV1-decline and mortality. The FEV1 trajectories among airway obstructive and the relationship between low FVC and trajectory outcome are of particular clinical interest.

  • Conversations about violence, risk and responsibility with divorced and support-seeking fathers in Sweden
  • 2023
  • In: Child & Family Social Work. - : Wiley. - 1356-7500 .- 1365-2206. ; 28:3, s. 764-773
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The aim of this paper is to analyse approaches to issues of risk, responsibility and representations of violence in women social workers' conversations with alleged or confirmed violent fathers. The study adds to a growing body of research on agencies' handling of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the context of separation. Empirically, the study draws from 12 structured, audio recorded and transcribed interviews with support-seeking and divorced fathers, from five municipalities in Sweden, conducted as part of a cooperation project in which a risk-detection method (Family Law Detection Of Overall Risk Screen [FL-DOORS]) was also tested. The results suggest a tension between different professional tasks. To validate information on IPV, detect risk and enhance a child perspective competes with other professional projects, most obviously with promoting cooperation between parents. The study confirms previous research, which demonstrates unique challenges facing women social workers and counsellors when working with men as perpetrators. In conclusion, the paper concurs with the call for a focus on responsibility and on safe parenting in professional conversations with allegedly or confirmed abusive fathers.

  • Breaking the mold : Reinterpreting industrial digital transformation and co-workership
  • 2024
  • In: Abstract book WIL Conference 2024. - Trollhättan : University West. - 9789189325692 ; , s. 14-14
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • This paper builds on the need to reinterpret industrial digital transformation and co-workership with the starting point that introducing and implementing digital initiatives is a multifaceted challenge for the manufacturing industry. Hence, this paper addresses how co-workership in manufacturing can be reinterpreted when navigating organizational and technological aspects of industrial digital transformation. To answer this, co-workers at different organizational levels have participated in five focus groups with a total of 25 participants to reinterpret industrial digital transformation over time, collaboratively structuring what the endeavors might entail. The results show that participants are positive towards digital technologies but critical towards organizational changes. It is argued that this affects the four conceptual pairs of the co-workership wheel. Thus, this paper contributes a revised model for co-workership for industrial digital transformation that contributes to the needed technological and organizational innovation

  • Taking Responsibility for Industrial Digitalization : Navigating Organizational Challenges
  • 2022
  • In: Sustainability. - : MDPI AG. - 2071-1050. ; 14:2, s. 866-866
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • In this article, an employee perspective has been applied in aiming to explore how organizations face challenges and take responsibility for industrial digitalization, thus extending the research on the human-centric perspective in relation to Industry 4.0 technologies. To give emphasis to the human-centric perspective, the co-workership wheel was applied to identify and analyze data. The findings of an explorative longitudinal qualitative case study consisting of 35 in-depth interviews with informants from a manufacturing company were used. Additional data collection consisted of documents and project meetings. By applying a human-centric perspective, llessons learned from this case study show that taking responsibility for industrial digitalization is challenging and the importance of an adaptive organizational culture and a focus on learning and competence are crucial. We argue that the findings give useful implications for manufacturing organizations navigating the challenges of industrial digitalization to sense and seize the benefits of Industry 4.0 technologies.

  • Artificial and human aspects of Industry 4.0: an industrial work-integrated-learning research agenda
  • 2021
  • In: VILÄR. - 9789189325036
  • Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • The manufacturing industry is currently under extreme pressure to transform their organizations and competencies to reap the benefits of industry 4.0. The main driver for industry 4.0 is digitalization with disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, internet of things, digital platforms, etc. Industrial applications and research studies have shown promising results, but they rarely involve a human-centric perspective. Given this, we argue there is a lack of knowledge on how disruptive technologies take part in human decision-making and learning practices, and to what extent disruptive technologies may support both employees and organizations to “learn”. In recent research the importance and need of including a human-centric perspective in industry 4.0 is raised including a human learning and decision-making approach. Hence, disruptive technologies, by themselves, no longer consider to solve the actual problems.Considering the richness of this topic, we propose an industrial work-integrated-learning research agenda to illuminate a human-centric perspective in Industry 4.0. This work-in-progress literature review aims to provide a research agenda on what and how application areas are covered in earlier research. Furthermore, the review identifies obstacles and opportunities that may affect manufacturing to reap the benefits of Industry 4.0. As part of the research, several inter-disciplinary areas are identified, in which industrial work-integrated-learning should be considered to enhance the design, implementation, and use of Industry 4.0 technologies. In conclusion, this study proposes a research agenda aimed at furthering research on how industrial digitalization can approach human and artificial intelligence through industrial work-integrated-learning for a future digitalized manufacturing.

  • Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles: Comparing the Powertrain Efficiency and Sustainability of Fuel Cell versus Internal Combustion Engine Cars
  • 2024
  • In: Energies. - 1996-1073 .- 1996-1073. ; 17:5
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Due to the large quantities of carbon emissions generated by the transportation sector, cleaner automotive technologies are needed aiming at a green energy transition. In this scenario, hydrogen is pointed out as a promising fuel that can be employed as the fuel of either a fuel cell or an internal combustion engine vehicle. Therefore, in this work, we propose the design and modeling of a fuel cell versus an internal combustion engine passenger car for a driving cycle. The simulation was carried out using the quasistatic simulation toolbox tool in Simulink considering the main powertrain components for each vehicle. Furthermore, a brief analysis of the carbon emissions associated with the hydrogen production method is addressed to assess the clean potential of hydrogen-powered vehicles compared to conventional fossil fuel-fueled cars. The resulting analysis has shown that the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is almost twice as efficient compared to internal combustion engines, resulting in a lower fuel consumption of 1.05 kg-H2/100 km in the WLTP driving cycle for the fuel cell vehicle, while the combustion vehicle consumed about 1.79 kg-H2/100 km. Regarding using different hydrogen colors to fuel the vehicle, hydrogen-powered vehicles fueled with blue and grey hydrogen presented higher carbon emissions compared to petrol-powered vehicles reaching up to 2–3 times higher in the case of grey hydrogen. Thus, green hydrogen is needed as fuel to keep carbon emissions lower than conventional petrol-powered vehicles.

  • Evaluation of small nerve fiber dysfunction in type 2 diabetes
  • 2020
  • In: Acta Neurologica Scandinavica. - : Hindawi Limited. - 0001-6314 .- 1600-0404. ; 141:1, s. 38-46
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Objectives: To assess potential correlations between intraepidermal nerve fiber densities (IENFD), graded with light microscopy, and clinical measures of peripheral neuropathy in elderly male subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and type 2 diabetes (T2DM), respectively. Materials and methods: IENFD was assessed in thin sections of skin biopsies from distal leg in 86 men (71-77 years); 24 NGT, 15 IGT, and 47 T2DM. Biopsies were immunohistochemically stained for protein gene product (PGP) 9.5, and intraepidermal nerve fibers (IENF) were quantified manually by light microscopy. IENFD was compared between groups with different glucose tolerance and related to neurophysiological tests, including nerve conduction study (NCS; sural and peroneal nerve), quantitative sensory testing (QST), and clinical examination (Total Neuropathy Score; Neuropathy Symptom Score and Neuropathy Disability Score). Results: Absent IENF was seen in subjects with T2DM (n = 10; 21%) and IGT (n = 1; 7%) but not in NGT. IENFD correlated weakly negatively with HbA1c (r = −.268, P =.013) and Total Neuropathy Score (r = −.219, P =.042). Positive correlations were found between IENFD and sural nerve amplitude (r =.371, P =.001) as well as conduction velocity of both the sural (r =.241, P =.029) and peroneal nerve (r =.258, P =.018). Proportions of abnormal sural nerve amplitude became significantly higher with decreasing IENFD. No correlation was found with QST. Inter-rater reliability of IENFD assessment was good (ICC = 0.887). Conclusions: Signs of neuropathy are becoming more prevalent with decreasing IENFD. IENFD can be meaningfully evaluated in thin histopathological sections using the presented technique to detect neuropathy.

  • A new maximal bicycle test using a prediction algorithm developed from four large COPD studies
  • 2020
  • In: European clinical respiratory journal. - : Informa UK Limited. - 2001-8525. ; 7:1
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Background: Maximum exercise workload (WMAX) is today assessed as the first part of Cardiopulmonary Exercise testing. The WMAX test exposes patients with COPD, often having cardiovascular comorbidity, to risks. Our research project was initiated with the final aim to eliminate the WMAX test and replace this test with a predicted value of WMAX, based on a prediction algorithm of WMAX derived from multicentre studies. Methods: Baseline data (WMAX, demography, lung function parameters) from 850 COPD patients from four multicentre studies were collected and standardized. A prediction algorithm was prepared using Random Forest modelling. Predicted values of WMAX were used in a new WMAX test, which used a linear increase in order to reach the predicted WMAX within 8 min. The new WMAX test was compared with the standard stepwise WMAX test in a pilot study including 15 patients with mild/moderate COPD. Results: The best prediction algorithm of WMAX included age, sex, height, weight, and six lung function parameters. FEV1 and DLCO were the most important predictors. The new WMAX test had a better correlation (R2 = 0.84) between predicted and measured WMAX than the standard WMAX test (R2 = 0.66), with slopes of 0.50 and 0.46, respectively. The results from the new WMAX test and the standard WMAX test correlated well. Conclusion: A prediction algorithm based on data from four large multicentre studies was used in a new WMAX test. The prediction algorithm provided reliable values of predicted WMAX. In comparison with the standard WMAX test, the new WMAX test provided similar overall results.

  • Beyond lean production practices and Industry 4.0 technologies toward the human-centric Industry 5.0
  • 2024
  • In: Technological Sustainability. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 2754-1312 .- 2754-1320.
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Purpose Both technological and human-centric perspectives need to be acknowledged when combining lean production practices and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies. This study aims to explore and explain how lean production practices and I4.0 technologies may coexist to enhance the human-centric perspective of manufacturing operations in the era of Industry 5.0 (I5.0).Design/methodology/approach The research approach is an explorative and longitudinal case study. The qualitative data collection encompasses respondents from different job functions and organizational levels to cover the entire organization. In total, 18 interviews with 19 interviewees and five focus groups with a total of 25 participants are included.Findings Identified challenges bring forth that manufacturing organizations must have the ability to see beyond lean production philosophy and I4.0 to meet the demand for a human-centric perspective in socially sustainable manufacturing in the era of Industry 5.0. Practical implications The study suggests that while lean production practices and I4.0 practices may be considered separately, they need to be integrated as complementary approaches. This underscores the complexity of managing simultaneous organizational changes and new digital initiatives.Social implications The research presented illuminates the elusive phenomena comprising the combined aspects of a human-centric perspective, specifically bringing forth implications for the co-existence of lean production practices and I4.0 technologies, in the transformation towards I5.0.Originality/value The study contributes to new avenues of research within the field of socially sustainable manufacturing. The study provides an in-depth analysis of the human-centric perspective when transforming organizations towards Industry 5.0.

  • Exploring Socially Sustainable, Smart Manufacturing : Building Bridges Over Troubled Waters
  • 2024
  • In: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering. - : Springer. - 2195-4356 .- 2195-4364. - 9783031381645 - 9783031381652 ; , s. 833-841
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Contemporary manufacturing organizations formulate strategies towards smart manufacturing. However, strategies often merely regard technological improvements of working processes and activities and pay limited attention to human-centric perspectives. This study addresses the complex phenomenon of reaching socially sustainable smart manufacturing by exploring the human-centric perspectives in the eras of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0. Data were collected through an explorative qualitative case study with focus groups applying the history wall approach to document informants’ choices of activities that impact digitalization. To investigate informants’ interpretations and experiences of digital initiatives and prospects, the history wall approach was coupled with the analytical lens of the co-workership wheel, with its four conceptual pairs: trust and openness, community spirit and cooperation, engagement and meaningfulness, responsibility, and initiative. A total of 17 informants from different organizational levels at a case company participated. Activities, impacting digitalization, brought forward were grouped into technology, organization, and external impact. Results showed that human-centric and intangible perspectives surfaced as prerequisites when navigating industrial digitalization. Further, digital initiatives and prospects risk drowning in re-occurring organizational changes making successful implementation difficult. Thus, organizations cannot rely solely on technology, but must consider activities related to organizational aspects and impacts from the external environment, when introducing digital initiatives. Intrinsically, recognition of the co-workership concept, emphasizing human-centricity, can support the foundation necessary for bridging the gap towards socially sustainable smart manufacturing and strengthening the emerging I5.0 research.

  • To digitalize or not? Navigating and merging human : and technology perspectives in production planning and control
  • 2022
  • In: The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology. - : Springer Nature. - 0268-3768 .- 1433-3015.
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Contemporary manufacturing companies are navigating industrial digitalization anticipating increased production efciency and competitiveness in a volatile environment. This study focuses on the implementation processes of digital tools for production planning and control (PPC), i.e., advanced planning and scheduling (APS) software, in relation to the application of analog planning with physical fow boards. Digital tools can support understanding the consequences of production changes and variations, hence facilitating adaptable and resilient manufacturing. However, technological changes can be daunting, and efective implementations require dynamic capabilities to remain competitive in elusive environments. The aim is to study the implementation processes of an APS software to understand the requirements of fruitfully moving from analog planning to next-generation digital tools for decision support in PPC. The paper presents an explorative case study, at a manufacturing company within the energy sector. The interview study took place over 9 months during 2020–2021, investigating current and retrospective aspects of the case across 2019–2021. The case study comprises 17 in-depth interviews with a range of company employees, e.g., logistics managers and functions responsible for digitalization development. The results highlight the challenges of implementing and especially trusting digital tools for PPC. To realize the value of digital tools for PPC, it is argued that it is imperative to simultaneously apply a human-centric perspective in decision making to ensure trustworthy, sustainable, and resilient human-data-technology nexus implementations towards smart manufacturing

  • A climate report gone missing : power mechanisms in Swedish national transport planning
  • 2024
  • In: European Planning Studies. - : Routledge. - 0965-4313 .- 1469-5944.
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • While the technological development of vehicles and fuels is not adequate to meet current climate mitigation targets, infrastructure development also plays an important role in transforming the transport system. Previous studies have argued that conventional infrastructure planning is incapable of implementing climate mitigation. The aim of the paper is to provide insights into power means and mechanisms that counteract integration of climate mitigation targets in infrastructure planning. This is done by an in-depth case study of current Swedish national transport planning. This case provides a rich illustration of a situation with high political ambitions regarding climate mitigation on the one hand, and power mechanisms and resistance with regard to climate goals during the planning process on the other. The case is analysed using the perspective of power circuits and shows how forecasting works as an obligatory passage point, sorting in and out which analyses will be part of the decision-making material. Analyses which do not fit the forecasting model are dismissed from planning. The conclusion is that as long as the transport infrastructure planning practice is dependent on forecasting as the only central analysis there will be difficulties in changing the scope of infrastructure planning and making climate goals central for transport planning.

  • Barn i planeringen av kollektivtrafik
  • 2024
  • In: Sammanställning av referat från Transportforum 2024. - Linköping : Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut. ; , s. 154-154
  • Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Sedan den 1 januari 2020 är FN:s barnkonvention införlivad i svensk lag vilket innebär att de rättigheter som följer av konventionen ska beaktas i alla beslutsprocesser som rör barn upp till 18 år. Transporter berör alla barn i vardagen och kollektivtrafiken är central för många barns självständiga mobilitet. Men hur har barnkonventionen påverkat arbetet i de regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheterna? På vilka sätt och i vilka sammananhang inkluderas barn i kollektivtrafikplaneringen? Vilka hinder och möjligheter finns för att involvera barn i kollektivtrafikplaneringen? Syftet i detta projekt har varit att undersöka om och på vilka sätt barn involveras i den regionala kollektivtrafikplaneringen.Det empiriska materialet baserar sig på e-postintervjuer till alla 21 RKM:er, dess trafikförsörjningsprogram, andra relevanta regionala dokument som berör barn och kollektivtrafik samt sju semi-strukturerade intervjuer med tjänstepersoner på sex RKM:er utvalda utifrån storlek, geografi och svaren i e-postintervjuerna. Resultaten har analyserats utifrån begreppen barnperspektiv, som innebär att vuxna utifrån tidigare kunskap antar ett vad barnen behöver, respektive barns perspektiv, som i stället innebär att barnen själva involveras i planeringen.Barnkonventionen har i vissa regioner inneburit att nya rutiner och åtgärder införts för att integrera barn i kollektivtrafikplaneringen medan konventionen i andra regioner inte haft samma påverkan. Här finner vi regioner som både medvetet arbetat med att integrera barn i planeringen utifrån konventionen bland annat för att politikerna anser det vara en viktig fråga och regioner som mindre medvetet arbetat med frågan utifrån ståndpunkten att barn och deras familjer är en viktig och stor kundgrupp. Det som framför allt upplevs svårt är att involvera barnen själva i planeringen, men en del regioner har arbetat med detta och funnit olika metoder och lösningar för att hantera utmaningen.

    • Syftet i följande kapitel är att beskriva och diskutera konsekvenserna av införlivandet av barnkonventionen i svensk lagstiftning för planeringen av kollektivtrafik hos de regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheterna. Har barns position i kollektivtrafikplaneringen fått vind i seglen, råder det stiltje eller är det motvind? Vad gör de regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheterna för att uppfylla barnkonventionen? Vilka hinder finns? Detta kapitel baserar sig på en kvalitativ studie genomförd under åren 2021–22 där materialet utgjorts av vid tidpunkten gällande trafikförsörjningsprogram (det övergripande strategiska dokumentet för kollektivtrafikens utveckling i varje region) för samtliga 21 regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter (RKM), e-post intervjuer med samtliga 21 RKM, kompletterande dokument om hur regionerna arbetar med barn i planeringen (om sådant funnits) och sju djupintervjuer med tjänstepersoner

  • Kollektivtrafiken och hela resan : utveckling över tid och framtida möjligheter
  • 2024
  • In: Sammanställning av referat från Transportforum 2024. - Linköping : Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut. ; , s. 158-159
  • Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Kollektivtrafik är beroende av infrastruktur för sin funktion. Genom att använda sig av ett begrepp som ”hela resan” i utvecklingen av kollektivtrafikens planer och program, har de regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheterna också visat att de intresserar sig för infrastrukturen som ansluter till kollektivtrafikens hållplatser och bytespunkter, samt vilka möjligheter det där finns för exempelvis parkering och laddning. Infrastrukturen som möjliggör att individer kan cykla, gå och åka bil till kollektivtrafiken har också blivit mer betydelsefull för den strategiska planeringen av kollektivtrafiken. I regionerna utanför de tre storstadsregionerna är detta ”hela resan”-perspektiv potentiellt viktigt då kollektivtrafiken inte är lika utbyggd som i storstaden, vilket gör att resenärerna har ett större behov av att kunna transportera sig till kollektivtrafiken om den ska kunna användas. I fokus för denna studie är utvecklingen av ”hela resan”-perspektivet i kollektivtrafikplaneringen i de 18 svenska regionerna utanför storstäderna och vad den utvecklingen betyder för den regionala samhällsplaneringen.Denna studie baserar sig på en kvalitativ analys av kollektivtrafikens centrala strategidokument, Regionala Trafikförsörjningsprogram (TFP); den regionala infrastrukturens strategi och investeringsplan, Länstransportplaner (LTP); samt semi-strukturerade intervjuer med centralt placerade tjänstepersoner inom Regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter. Dokumenten som analyserats är tre generationer TFP och tre generationer LTP, publicerade efter 2012 och fram till 2022. En centralt placerad representant för varje region har djupintervjuats. I stort sett samtliga regioner använder sig av begreppet ”hela resan” i sina senaste TFP och argumenterar för att det är ett viktigt fokus för kollektivtrafikens utveckling i regionen. Användningen av begreppet har ökat över tid och samtidigt har detaljrikedomen i hur perspektivet framställs och förklaras i TFP blivit större. De åtgärder som beskrivs i TFP är ofta pendlarparkeringar för såväl cykel som bil. Laddmöjligheter för bilar blir också viktigare. I tätorterna fokuserar man på den anslutande infrastrukturen för gång och cykel, medan det i landsbygd är bilen som står i fokus. Av en del regioner framhålls också att den tillgänglighetsanpassning av hållplatser som sker för att göra de tillgängliga för funktionsnedsatta också kan ses som en del i ”hela resan” arbetet, eftersom de åtgärderna ofta innebär förändringar i infrastrukturen runt om.

  • Local organization for promoting energy efficiency-reform of local energy advice service in Sweden
  • 2021
  • In: Energy Efficiency. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1570-646X .- 1570-6478. ; 14:1
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Homeowners are identified as a group in society that could change their energy behaviour towards greater energy efficiency and use of non-fossil fuels. External local energy advisors, who provide knowledge, motivation and service, can influence their decisions and thereby increase energy efficiency and dissemination of non-fossil fuels. In Sweden, the energy advice system has recently been reformed and this paper investigates this reform and analyses its early effects. The aim is to analyse how energy advisors manage the reform and how they work as middle actors to increase energy efficiency and non-fossil fuel use among homeowners. We use the theoretical framework of middle actors in the middle-out perspective together with the theory of institutional logics to analyse the case of the energy advisor reform. This qualitative analysis contributes to the discussion of energy advisors by focusing on the relevance of organizational structures and logics for their possibilities to influence homeowners' energy practices. The reform has introduced a governance and New Public Management logic that runs parallel with the former energy advice logic, guiding the advisors' work practice. The results show that the reform potentially has increased the energy advisors' ability to act as middle actors. However, there are organizational practices following the reform, which greatly constrain the advisors' abilities as middle actors. One conclusion is that the advisors are in need of more guidance from the Energy Agency to be able to perform more successful work.

  • The role of middle actors in electrification of transport in Swedish rural areas
  • 2022
  • In: Case Studies on Transport Policy. - : Elsevier Ltd. - 2213-624X .- 2213-6258. ; 10:3, s. 1706-1714
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • In this paper, we use the middle-out perspective to analyze the diffusion of electric cars and plug-in hybrids in Swedish rural areas and small towns. In Sweden, electrification of the transport system is a priority, particularly in car-dependent rural areas. However, the transition to electromobility mainly takes place in major urban areas. To understand the dynamics of the transition to electrified transport and identify how it may be facilitated, we identify top actors, bottom actors, and middle actors and analyze how middle actors exert influence. Our case study is based on in-depth interviews with civil servants who work with energy and transport issues in rural areas throughout Sweden and with representatives of energy companies and government agencies. We show that three middle actors are important: municipalities, local energy companies, and local car dealers. The municipalities and local energy companies mainly exert influence by knowledge diffusion and by contributing to projects such as charging infrastructure development. The car dealers are examples of middle actors who could play a central role by influencing consumers, but who currently often obstruct electric vehicle diffusion. We find that the support of top actors is very important for middle actors to be able to facilitate diffusion of electric cars and plug-in hybrids. Municipalities are in a unique position to use their knowledge, local networks, and sideways and upwards connections to strengthen the agency and capacity of citizens and small businesses (bottom actors). However, as small Swedish municipalities often have limited resources, long-term support from government agencies (top actors) is crucial. As middle actors are so important for the diffusion of electric vehicles, especially in the rural context where market forces are weaker than in the urban context, national policy for electrification of transport should support them.

  • Trygghet i kollektivtrafiken i nordiska huvudstadsregioner
  • 2024
  • In: Sammanställning av referat från Transportforum 2024. - Linköping : Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut. ; , s. 157-157
  • Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Trygghetsfrågor i kollektivtrafiken ligger högt upp på dagordningen i flertalet svenska regioner där insatser genomförts under senare år för att öka tryggheten för personal och resenärer. Trygghet är dock ett svårfångat begrepp som kan betyda flera olika saker. Generellt kan sägas att det dels kan innebära upplevd trygghet, vad individen anser om en plats eller en situation, dels kan det innebära faktisk trygghet, som kan tolkas som den statistiska risken att råka ut för ett brott. Dessa två aspekter hänger inte alltid ihop. Att arbeta med trygghet i kollektivtrafiken innebär i stor utsträckning att arbeta med den upplevda tryggheten, eftersom det är den som har störst betydelse för valet att resa med kollektivtrafiken eller att inte göra det. För att undersöka vad trygghet kan vara och hur kollektivtrafikmyndigheterna hanterar frågan har vi gjort en översiktlig studie av flera nordiska huvudstadsregioner. Vi har studerat trygghet i kollektivtrafiken i Köpenhamn, Helsingfors, Oslo, Tallinn och Stockholm. Materialet utgörs av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med centralt placerade tjänstepersoner hos ansvariga myndigheter i respektive stad, och offentligt publicerade dokument som policydokument och mediaartiklar, samt en workshop med trygghetsansvariga från Köpenhamn Oslo och Tallinn. Studien visar att trygghet i kollektivtrafiken inte är en lika diskuterad och prioriterad fråga i de övriga nordiska huvudstäderna som den är i Stockholm. Vad som läggs i begreppet trygghet varierar beroende på stad och hör ihop med vad myndigheten tidigare fått hantera för problem, vilka samhällsproblem som finns och hur de adresseras av ledande politiker. Politikernas problemformuleringar och lösningar har stor betydelse för hur tryggheten adresseras och vilket arbete förvaltningarna gör. Medborgare och resenärer kommer framför allt till tals genom enkäter om resande.

  • 'Gooseberry is the only thing left' - a study of declining biological cultural heritage at abandoned crofts in the province of Sodermanland, Sweden
  • 2020
  • In: International Journal of Heritage Studies (IJHS). - : Informa UK Limited. - 1352-7258 .- 1470-3610. ; 26:11, s. 1061-1076
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • This is a study about cultivated and 'wild' plants as components of the material heritage of crofters, an overlooked group of people in former agrarian landscapes. Despite abundant remains of crofts in Sweden, inhabited during the period from the eighteenth century until the 1940s, crofters have been subject to few studies. We used a survey conducted 1967 of botanical remains at abandoned croft as a basis for a re-survey in 2019. As with all biological traces of former human activities, cultivated plants and wild species favoured by former management ultimately disappear, but with long delays. We describe the patterns of this decline. In general, about a third of the species were gone after 52 years. The rate of disappearance of single species occurrences was about 1% annually. We discuss the interpretation of botanical remains from since long abandoned crofts in the context of heritage. In some cases, the botanical remains were the only material evidence left. We conclude that the material heritage of crofters deserves further studies and that botanical remains at abandoned crofts should be documented and at least at some sites protected.

  • Legacies of historic charcoal production affect the forest flora in a Swedish mining district
  • 2021
  • In: Nordic Journal of Botany. - : Wiley. - 0107-055X .- 1756-1051. ; 39:11
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Iron production was historically associated with major impacts on forests worldwide, as vast amounts of wood were harvested to produce the charcoal needed for heating the furnaces and reducing iron oxides in the ore to iron. This impact has left abundant legacies which potentially may remain in the present-day vegetation. We investigated how remains of historic charcoal production, mainly from the 18th to the early 20th century, at still remaining charcoal kiln platforms (CKPs), affect the current species richness, species occurrences and cover of vascular plants in the ground vegetation in a Swedish mining district located in the boreo-nemoral forest zone. CKPs have a significantly higher species richness than the surrounding forest, and they also affect cover (negatively) for ericaceous species typically dominating the forest ground vegetation. Several forest species are more frequent at CKPs, and these also harbor significantly more uncommon species, of which many are typical for traditionally managed grasslands. These latter species are likely to represent remnants in present-day forests reflecting former land-use such as livestock grazing. The soil chemistry at CKPs is strongly deviating from the surrounding forest, and this, together with a lower cover of ericaceous shrubs, are the most likely mechanisms behind the higher species richness. CKPs represent conspicuous and abundant historic anthropogenic habitats in the forest vegetation. As far as we are aware, the flora at CKPs in boreal and boreo-nemoral forests has not previously been investigated in detail, and they deserve more attention, both from a biological and a cultural–historical perspective.

  • Compositional tuning of gas-phase synthesized Pd–Cu nanoparticles
  • 2023
  • In: Nanoscale Advances. - 2516-0230. ; 5:22, s. 6069-6077
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Bimetallic nanoparticles have gained significant attention in catalysis as potential alternatives to expensive catalysts based on noble metals. In this study, we investigate the compositional tuning of Pd–Cu bimetallic nanoparticles using a physical synthesis method called spark ablation. By utilizing pure and alloyed electrodes in different configurations, we demonstrate the ability to tailor the chemical composition of nanoparticles within the range of approximately 80 : 20 at% to 40 : 60 at% (Pd : Cu), measured using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and transmission electron microscopy energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (TEM-EDXS). Time-resolved XRF measurements revealed a shift in composition throughout the ablation process, potentially influenced by material transfer between electrodes. Powder X-ray diffraction confirmed the predominantly fcc phase of the nanoparticles while high-resolution TEM and scanning TEM-EDXS confirmed the mixing of Pd and Cu within individual nanoparticles. X-ray photoelectron and absorption spectroscopy were used to analyze the outermost atomic layers of the nanoparticles, which is highly important for catalytic applications. Such comprehensive analyses offer insights into the formation and structure of bimetallic nanoparticles and pave the way for the development of efficient and affordable catalysts for various applications.

  • Circular soil and rock masses – a public-private relational mess
  • 2023
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Sweden is at EU bottom of circular soil and rock masses. The purpose of this study is to capture the relationship between the overall system and subsystems of circular soil and rock masses to identify barriers to establishing efficient circular soil and rock material flows. The main hinders are lateness of action, legislation, and lack of information sharing. This together creates a relational mess between the subsystems, leading to a lack of understanding of how to act. The relations must be clarified before public procurement will have its intended impact to increase circularity and decrease transport emissions.

  • Improving the Stability of Red Blood Cells in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Herring (Clupea harengus): Potential Solutions for Post-mortem Fish Handling to Minimize Lipid Oxidation
  • 2020
  • In: Food and Bioprocess Technology. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1935-5130 .- 1935-5149. ; 13, s. 1344-1355
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • This study aimed at limiting hemolysis of fish red blood cells (RBCs) as a strategy to limit hemoglobin (Hb)-induced lipid oxidation duringpost-mortemhandling and processing. Effects of varying temperature, salinity, and mechanical impact were studied using washed resuspended RBCs (wr-RBCs) and whole blood (WB) from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and herring (Clupea harengus). The wr-RBCs were most stable avoiding mechanical stress, keeping isotonic conditions (0.9-1.3% NaCl) and low temperature 0-6 degrees C, with predicted minimum at 2.5 degrees C. When compared at the same salinity, it was found that hemolysis was more pronounced in herring than trout wr-RBCs. Furthermore, WB was more stable than wr-RBCs, showing protecting the effects of blood plasma. Studying individual plasma components, stabilizing effects were found from glucose, proteins, and ascorbic acid. This study indicates that small adjustments in the early handling and processing of fish such as changing salinity of storage and rinsing solutions could minimize Hb contamination of the fish muscle and thereby improve quality.

  • The decline of Gentianella campestris : three decades of population development of an endangered grassland plant in Sweden
  • 2021
  • In: Nordic Journal of Botany. - : Wiley. - 0107-055X .- 1756-1051. ; 39:3
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Species-rich semi-natural grasslands are declining all over northern Europe, and many plant species confined to such grasslands are currently under threat. We studied the development of populations of one such species, the field gentian Gentianella campestris, during three decades in the County of Södermanland, south of Stockholm, Sweden. Gentianella campestris is Red Listed as Endangered in Sweden. It is a strict biennial, and as far as known with only a transient seed bank. Large population fluctuations are a characteristic of this species, and its life history makes the species inherently sensitive to factors causing population reductions. We found that the number of sites with G. campestris has declined with over 60% in the last three decades. The total number of flowering individuals also show a strong decreasing trend, although there was an increase the last year (2020) at a few remaining sites. Cessation of grazing management is a major cause of the decline, but populations also disappeared from managed sites. It is possible that the management has been inappropriate, and circumstantial evidence suggests that summer drought might be an additional cause of population decline. Data from 2018, a year with an exceptional summer drought, supports this explanation. A sowing experiment indicated that recruitment of new populations is unlikely in the present-day landscape where most vegetation is unsuitable for G. campestris. Due to the poor prospects for long-term maintenance of grazing management in still remaining semi-natural grasslands, and the decline even at sites with current management, G. campestris faces a risk of becoming regionally extinct within the coming decades.

  • 2022
  • Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Rapporten presenterar resultatet av projektet ” Analys av påverkan från EU-förslag för omställningen inom svensk industri”. Projektets syfte har varit att analysera hur Kommissionens förslag till lagstiftningspaket (Fit for 55) för att göra EU redo för att minska utsläppen i linje med det skärpta utsläppsmålet om -55 procent netto till 2030 jämfört med 1990 påverkar möjligheterna till omställning av svensk industri. Analysen visar att förslagen från EU täcker flera av de hinder som finns för att ställa om industrin, men att det inte fullt ut räcker för att uppfylla den svenska målsättningen om nettonollutsläpp till 2045. Analysen visar att EU-förslagen framför allt brister avseende stöd och stöttning för en uppbyggnad av supportinfrastruktur för en transformativ omställning. Alltså stöd för att bygga upp de nya samhällen som krävs för den omställning industrin ska gå mot, både vad gäller kompetensuppbyggnad och samhällsfunktioner, men även frågor kopplade till infrastruktur som eldistribution och vägar. Rapporten har utgjort ett underlag i Naturvårdsverkets och Energimyndighetens arbete med rapporten ”Industrins klimatomställning”

  • Autoplant—Autonomous Site Preparation and Tree Planting for a Sustainable Bioeconomy
  • 2024
  • In: Forests. - : MDPI. - 1999-4907. ; 15:2
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Sustainable forestry requires efficient regeneration methods to ensure that new forests are established quickly. In Sweden, 99% of the planting is manual, but finding labor for this arduous work is difficult. An autonomous scarifying and planting machine with high precision, low environmental impact, and a good work environment would meet the needs of the forest industry. For two years, a collaborative group of researchers, manufacturers, and users (forest companies) has worked together on developing and testing a new concept for autonomous forest regeneration (Autoplant). The concept comprises several subsystems, i.e., regeneration and route planning, autonomous driving (path planning), new technology for forest regeneration with minimal environmental impact, automatic plant management, crane motion planning, detection of planting spots, and follow-up. The subsystems were tested separately and integrated together during a field test at a clearcut. The concept shows great potential, especially from an environmental perspective, with significantly reduced soil disturbances, from approximately 50% (the area proportion of the area disturbed by disc trenching) to less than 3%. The Autoplant project highlights the challenges and opportunities related to future development, e.g., the relation between machine cost and operating speed, sensor robustness in response to vibrations and weather, and precision in detecting the size and type of obstacles during autonomous driving and planting.

  • Reviewing human-centric themes in intelligent manufacturing research
  • 2022
  • In: International Conference on Work Integrated Learning. - Trollhättan : University West. - 9789189325302 ; , s. 125-127
  • Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • In the era of Industry 4.0, emergent digital technologies generate profound transformations in the industry toward developing intelligent manufacturing. The technologies included in Industry 4.0 are expected to bring new perspectives to the industry on how manufacturing can integrate new solutions to get maximum output with minimum resource utilization (Kamble et al., 2018). Industry 4.0 technologies create a great impact on production systems and processes, however, affect organizational structures and working life conditions by disrupting employees’ everyday practices and knowledge, in which competence and learning, human interaction, and organizational structures are key. Hence, new digital solutions need to be integrated with work and learning to generate more holistic and sustainable businesses (Carlsson et al., 2021).The core Industry 4.0 technologies are built on cyber-physical systems (CPS), cloud computing, and the Internet of things (IoT) (Kagermann et al., 2013; Zhou et al., 2018). In recent years, an array of additional technologies has been developed further, such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), cyber security, robotics, and automation. Industry 4.0 aims to create a potential for faster delivery times, more efficient and automated processes, higher quality, and customized products (Zheng et al., 2021). Hence, the ongoing transformation through the technological shift of production in combination with market demands pushes the industry and its production process.Recent research has substantially contributed to an increased understanding of the technological aspects of Industry 4.0. However, the utilization of technologies is only a part of the complex puzzle making up Industry 4.0 (Kagermann et al., 2013; Zheng et al., 2021). The impact Industry 4.0 technologies and application s have on the industrial context also changes and disrupts existing and traditional work practices (Taylor et al., 2020), management and leadership (Saucedo-Martínez et al., 2018), learning and skills (Tvenge & Martinsen, 2018), and education (Das et al., 2020). This research has shown a growing interest in human-centric aspects of Industry 4.0 (Nahavandi, 2019), i.e., the transformative effects Industry 4.0 has on humans, workplace design, organizational routines, skills, learning, etc. However, these aspects are scarcely considered in-depth. Given this, and from a holistic point of view, there is a need to understand intelligent manufacturing practice from a human-centric perspective, where issues of work practices and learning are integrated, herein refe rred to as industrial work-integrated learning. I-WIL is a research area that particularly pays attention to knowledge production and learning capabilities related to use and development when technology and humans co -exist in industrial work settings (Shahlaei & Lundh Snis, 2022). Even if Industry 4.0 still is relevant for continuous development, a complementary Industry 5.0 has arisen to provide efficiency and productivity as the sole goals to reinforce a sustainable, human-centric, and resilient manufacturing industry (Breque et al., 2021; Nahavandi, 2019).Given this situation, the research question addressed here is: How does state-of-the-art research of Industry 4.0 technologies and applications consider human-centric aspects? A systematic literature review was conducted aiming to identify a future research agenda that emphasizes human-centric aspects of intelligent manufacturing, that will contribute to the field of manufacturing research and practices. This question was based on very few systematic literature reviews, considering Industry 4.0 research incorporating human -centric aspects for developing intelligent manufacturing (Kamble et al., 2018; Zheng et al., 2021). The literature review study was structured by the design of Xiao and Watson’s (2019) methodology consisting of the steps 1) Initial corpus creation, 2) Finalizing corpus, and 3) Analyzing corpus, and we also used a bibliometric approach throughout the search process (Glänzel & Schoepflin, 1999). The keyword selection was categorized into three groups of search terms, “industry 4.0”, “manufacturing”, and “artificial intelligence”, see figure 1. (Not included here)Articles were collected from the meta -databases EBSCOhost, Scopus, Eric, and the database AIS, to quantify the presence of human-centric or human-involved AI approaches in recent manufacturing research. A total of 999 scientific articles were collected and clustered based on a list of application areas to investigate if there is a difference between various areas in which artificial intelligence is used. The application areas are decision -making, digital twin, flexible automation, platformization, predictive maintenance, predictive quality, process optimization, production planning, and quality assessment.Throughout the review process, only articles that included both AI and human -centric aspects were screened and categorized. The final corpus included 386 articles of which only 93 articles were identified as human -centric. These articles were categorized into three themes: 1) organizational change, 2) competence and learning, and 3) human-automation interaction. Theme 1 articles related mostly to the application areas of flexible automation (11), production planning (9), and predictive maintenance (5). Theme 2 concerned the application areas of production planning and quality assessment (7), and process optimization (7).Finally, theme 3 mainly focused on flexible automation (10), digital twin (3), and platformization (3). The rest of the corpus only consisted of one or two articles in related application areas. To conclude, only a few articles were found that reinforce human -centric themes for Industry 4.0 implementations. The literature review identified obstacles and opportu nities that affect manufacturing organizations to reap the benefits of Industry 4.0. Hence, I-WIL is proposed as a research area to inform a new research agenda that captures human and technological integration of Industry 4.0 and to further illuminate human-centric aspects and themes for future sustainable intelligent manufacturing.

  • Att integrera klimatmål i nationell transportplanering : maktdynamik som formar planeringens taktik : slutrapport från projektet Klimatfrågans integrering i nationell transportplanering – en maktanalys
  • 2021
  • Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Syftet med detta projekt har varit att fördjupa kunskapen om nationell transportplanering, med fokus på vilka förutsättningar som finns att integrera klimatmål i strategisk planering på transportområdet. Vi har fokuserat på processen för planering av nationell transportinfrastruktur (även kallad nationell planering). Denna process ligger till grund för långsiktiga beslut, handlingsinriktningar och investeringar när det gäller utvecklingen av nationell transportinfrastruktur, och är ett sammanhang av stor vikt för hela transportsystemets utveckling. Det handlar inte minst om att nå ett mer transporteffektivt samhälle, som ingår som ett av tre ben i regeringens aktuella strategi för transportsystemets klimatomställning. Studien har genomförts med fokus på: (i) Aktörer och processer som formar inriktningen för den långsiktiga nationella planeringen. (ii) Idéer, perspektiv och förgivettaganden som villkorar hur klimatmål integreras och ges mening i nationell planering. (iii) Spänningar och konflikter kopplat till klimatmål och klimatomställning. De analyser som har gjorts i projektet grundas i empiriskt material från två nationella transportinfrastrukturplaneringprocesser; dels den som bedrevs mellan 2015-2017 och som avsåg nationell plan 2018-2029, dels den nu pågående omgången som inleddes 2020 och som omfattar perioden 2022-2033. Dessa två planomgångar har studerats genom kvalitativa intervjuer och analyser av policy- och planeringsdokument. Analysen inspireras av ett maktteoretiskt ramverk med fokus på främst diskursiv makt, men inkluderar också maktanalys utifrån ett aktörsperspektiv.

  • Discursive power dynamics affecting how climate targets are framed and integrated in national transport planning : The case of Sweden
  • 2023
  • In: Discourse Analysis in Transport and Urban Development. - : Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd.. - 9781802207194 - 9781802207200 ; , s. 39-51
  • Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Discursive power dynamics are explored that shape dominant meanings and understandings related to climate mitigation in national transport policy and planning. The research is carried out as a Foucauldian-inspired discourse analysis of policy and planning documents from national transport planning in Sweden, focusing on the recent and ongoing rounds of national transport planning. The meanings, problem definitions and suggestions about possible and reasonable ways forward for climate mitigation are examined within the documentation, with specific attention given to the framing of strategic choices and priorities for the future. Five dominant themes are identified on climate mitigation that permeate the documents from national transport policy and planning. Altogether, the discursive framings and meaning making has led to a situation where deep political issues and strategic choices are being avoided and not dealt with explicitly. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion on the need for a changed practice of transport politics and planning.

  • The effect of electrode composition on bimetallic AgAu nanoparticles produced by spark ablation
  • 2024
  • In: Journal of Aerosol Science. - 0021-8502. ; 177
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • A flexible way to generate bimetallic nanoparticles with high control of their composition is to use spark ablation of alloyed electrodes. It has been generally accepted and stated that particles produced using spark ablation of alloyed electrodes obtain the same chemical composition as the electrodes. However, we identify a lack of studies fully supporting the connection between electrode and particle composition, presented in a small literature survey. The aim of the study is, hence, to explore the validity of the statement by analysing the relation between alloyed electrodes and their resulting particle composition using three sets of AgAu electrodes containing Au and 25, 50, and 75 atomic % Ag, respectively. The resulting composition is thoroughly investigated using both single particle (scanning- and transmission electron microscopy) and ensemble particle techniques (inductive coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence, and optical measurements of surface plasmon resonance. We also investigate how sample size (e.g., the number of particles analysed) affects the reliability of the resulting sample mean. For single-particle measurements of a sample with a compositional standard deviation of a few atomic percentage points, a sample size of 20 particles is a good benchmark for obtaining reliable results of the sample mean. Furthermore, this article aims to challenge the practice in which the composition of nanoparticles is measured, presented, and interpreted, to improve and facilitate future research related to this topic. From the results of this study, it could be concluded that for the investigated Ag–Au material system, the particles obtained a composition very similar to the alloyed AgAu electrodes.

  • Viking Spectrophotometer : A Home-Built, Simple, and Cost-Efficient Absorption and Fluorescence Spectrophotometer for Education in Chemistry
  • 2023
  • In: Journal of Chemical Education. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0021-9584 .- 1938-1328. ; 100:3, s. 1128-1137
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Investigating the optical properties of various chemical compounds using UV-vis spectrophotometers is an essential part of education in chemistry. However, commercial spectrophotometers are usually treated as "magic black boxes", where the dominant majority of optical elements are hidden "under the hood". This often limits understanding of the mechanisms behind the generation of spectral curves, which in turn may impede the ability to understand the limitations of the applied method and, in some cases, interpret the acquired data. In addition, the study of optical emission phenomena using fluorescence spectrophotometers is seldom implemented in educational laboratories due to the practical challenges and costs of the devices, which severely limit pedagogic access to this topic. For students to be more confident with these two basic spectroscopy techniques, we have developed a laboratory kit that provides a multifaceted learning experience. Starting with a basic exploration of an instrument assembly, it teaches, for example, such technical concepts as spectral resolution and detection sensitivity. More fundamentally, it enables deeper learning of the Beer-Lambert law and the notion of Stokes shift. The spectrophotometer is built from cost-efficient materials and is easily scalable, making it affordable for many educational laboratories. Due to a modular design, it is adaptable to various levels of education and has been successfully applied during high school-, undergraduate-, and graduate-level classes.

  • 62 Acquired ficolin-3 deficiency in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
  • 2023
  • In: Immunobiology. - : Elsevier. - 0171-2985 .- 1878-3279. ; 228:5, s. 152515-152515
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Background: Ficolin-3 is the main initiator of the lectin pathway in humans. Case reports of ficolin-3 deficient patients have suggested that ficolin-3 deficiency may be enriched in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a systemic autoimmune disease where complement plays an important role. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the activity levels of ficolin-3 and to identify potential ficolin-3 deficient individuals in two Swedish SLE cohorts.Methods: Serum or plasma samples from SLE patients (n=810) and matched controls (n=566) were collected from the Karolinska Institute (KI) and Umeå University Hospital. The ficolin-3 activity levels were measured by an in-house developed functional ELISA with a pooled normal human serum sample as a reference. Serial samples were analyzed for ficolin-3 deficient patients when available. Sequencing data were analyzed for FCN3 frame-shift mutation +1637delC (rs532781899) and other potential loss-of-function (LoF) variants.Results: This screening revealed that the level of ficolin-3 activity varies largely in patients with SLE. The activity levels also show that SLE patients seem to generally have elevated ficolin-3 activity compared to the control group (p<0.0001). Out of 810 patients with SLE, four patients were determined to be ficolin-3 deficient. For two of these patients, the ficolin-3 activity was at normal levels at the time of diagnosis and thereafter depleted over time, indicating an acquired deficiency. For deficient patients, no or very low ficolin-3 protein levels and no lectin pathway-dependent complement activation could be detected. Autoantibodies against ficolin-3 were not detectable. No patients were homozygous for the +1637delC frameshift mutation, whereas in total 10 patients were determined to be heterozygous carriers. These heterozygous patients displayed lower levels of ficolin-3 activity but did not include the deficient patients. Additional possible LoF variants were analyzed but none were enriched in either patients or controls.Conclusions: Contrary to the classical pathway of the complement system we show that genetic ficolin-3 deficiency is not a risk factor for SLE. Instead, acquired ficolin-3 deficiency was observed in a subgroup of SLE patients, possibly due to a potent activation of the lectin pathway that depleted ficolin-3 plasma levels in these individuals.

  • A survey of ficolin-3 activity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus reveals a link to hematological disease manifestations and autoantibody profile
  • 2024
  • In: Journal of Autoimmunity. - : Elsevier. - 0896-8411 .- 1095-9157. ; 143
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The complement system plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), but most studies have focused on the classical pathway. Ficolin-3 is the main initiator of the lectin pathway of complement in humans, but its role in systemic autoimmune disease has not been conclusively determined. Here, we combined biochemical and genetic approaches to assess the contribution of ficolin-3 to SLE risk and disease manifestations. Ficolin-3 activity was measured by a functional assay in serum or plasma samples from Swedish SLE patients (n = 786) and controls matched for age and sex (n = 566). Genetic variants in an extended 300 kb genomic region spanning the FCN3 locus were analyzed for their association with ficolin-3 activity and SLE manifestations in a Swedish multicenter cohort (n = 985). Patients with ficolin-3 activity in the highest tertile showed a strong enrichment in an SLE cluster defined by anti-Sm/DNA/nucleosome antibodies (OR 3.0, p < 0.001) and had increased rates of hematological disease (OR 1.4, p = 0.078) and lymphopenia (OR = 1.6, p = 0.039). Genetic variants associated with low ficolin-3 activity mapped to an extended haplotype in high linkage disequilibrium upstream of the FCN3 gene. Patients carrying the lead genetic variant associated with low ficolin3 activity had a lower frequency of hematological disease (OR 0.67, p = 0.018) and lymphopenia (OR 0.63, p = 0.031) and fewer autoantibodies (p = 0.0019). Loss-of-function variants in the FCN3 gene were not associated with SLE, but four (0.5 %) SLE patients developed acquired ficolin-3 deficiency where ficolin-3 activity in serum was depleted following diagnosis of SLE. Taken together, our results provide genetic and biochemical evidence that implicate the lectin pathway in hematological SLE manifestations. We also identify lectin pathway activation through ficolin-3 as a factor that contributes to the autoantibody response in SLE.

  • Validity of bioimpedance for assessment of fat-free mass in women with Rheumatoid Arthritis compared to non-rheumatic controls
  • 2022
  • In: Clinical Nutrition Espen. - : Elsevier BV. - 2405-4577. ; 47, s. 333-338
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Background & aims: The aim was to assess the validity of bioimpedance in the assessment of fat free mass (FFM) among women and to study if the validity differs between women with and without Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Methods: 38 women with RA and 24 non-rheumatic controls were included. FFM was measured in the non-fasting state using DXA (Lunar Prodigy), multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) (MF-BIA [Tanita MC-180 MA]), single-frequency BIA (SF-BIA) and bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) (both Impedimed SFB7). BIS raw data were also used to calculate FFM from equations by Matthie, Jaffrin and Moissl. Results were compared using correlation, Bland Altman analysis, Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Results: Women with RA had different body water distribution compared to women without RA (p < 0.05). Median bias in FFM assessed by bioimpedance was 0.62-7.87 kg with wide limits of agreement for all methods. Median FFM differed significantly from DXA by all bioimpedance methods except for BIS by Jaffrin. Women with RA had significantly smaller biases compared to non-rheumatic controls using BIS equations by Matthie (p = 0.012) and Moissl (p = 0.025). Correlations between FFM measured by DXA and bioimpedance (r = 0.73-0.85, all p < 0.001) did not differ between groups. The sensitivity of bioimpedance to detect low fat free mass index (FFMI) was 0-47%. Conclusion: The results of this study show that bioimpedance has similar validity in women with RA compared to non-rheumatic controls, despite differences in body water distribution. Agreement with DXA improved when applying specific equations, but the clinical utility of bioimpedance is questionable as all methods failed to identify low FFMI with acceptable precision.
