Proceedings from the Second International Interdisciplinary Conference on Perspectives and Limits of Dialogism in Mikhail Bakhtin, 3-5 June, 2009
- 2010
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- (Preface) This conference focused on the core of Bakhtin’s theory, which concerns dialogue and dialogicality. The conference themes reflected his notion that the “I” and the “self”, the “you” and the “other” are embedded in each other so that each affects the other and as a whole they create a centrifugal force around which communication and life circle. The choice of the two-faced Janus figure as the symbol of the conference reflects the inward and outward aspects of communication’s inherent dialogue and dialogicality. As an ancient Roman god of beginnings and doorways, of the rising and setting sun, looking in opposite directions, Janus has been associated with polarities, that is, seeing different and contrasting aspects and characteristics. As a metaphor it describes Bakhtin’s view on dialogues and dialogicality within or between “selves” and “others”. As a metaphorical symbol it captured the intent, purpose and outcome of the conference as reflected in this collection of papers.

Caring is sharing : exploiting the value in data for health and innovation
- 2023
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Modern information and communication technologies make it easier for individuals to be involved in their own health and social care. They also facilitate contact between individuals and service providers and deliver more efficient tools for healthcare staff. Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to bring even more benefits in the future, with more effectiveness and the provision of decision support.This book presents the proceedings of the 33rd Medical Informatics Europe Conference, MIE2023, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 22 to 25 May 2023. The theme of MIE2023 was ‘Caring is Sharing – Exploiting Value in Data for Health and Innovation’, stressing the increasing importance of sharing digital-health data and the related challenges. The sharing of health data is developing rapidly, both in Europe and beyond, so the focus of the conference was on the enabling of trustworthy sharing of data to improve health. Topics covered include healthcare, community care, self-care, public health, and the innovation and development of future-proof digital-health solutions, and the almost 300 papers divided into 10 chapters also cover important advances in the sub domains of biomedical informatics: decision support systems, clinical information systems, clinical research informatics, knowledge management and representation, consumer health informatics, natural language processing, public health informatics, privacy, ethical and societal aspects among them.Describing innovative approaches to the collection, organization, analysis, and data-sharing related to health and wellbeing, the book contributes to the expertise required to take medical informatics to the next level, and will be of interest to all those working in the field.

Proceedings of the 15th SweCog Conference
- 2019
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- In an article published in Nature: Human Behavior, Nunez et al. (2019) asks What happened to cognitive science? The authors review bibliometric and socio-institutional aspects of the field and argues that the transition from a multi-disciplinary program to a mature inter-disciplinary coherent field has failed. Looking at the Swedish environment, we can nothing but agree. Many of us identifying ourselves as researchers in cognitive science are working at departments primarily focused at other disciplines, teaching within other objects and publishing in journals and conferences adjacent to the field. The diversity of cognitive science is also present in the number of directions that has has evolved over the years. The embodied approaches that many of us align with are not evolving towards a coherent view, but is today found under numerous labels such as situated cognition, distributed cognition, extended cognition, and enactive cognition. The so called 4E perspectives on the field have now ventured beyond the four, and is today more often referred to as the multi-E framework.While we agree with Nunez et al. that we remain a multi-disciplinary, multi-perspective, and multi-method group of researchers who may share an interest for the science of the mind, rather than a coherent approach or perspective, we disagree that this entails a failure for the enterprise of cognitive science. We dare to say that the Sweish Cognitive Science Society has embraced the multi-perspectives idea by adopting an inclusive approach in the selection of research and methods presented at our conferences. We hope that SweCog will remain a forum for inclusive discussions, working against discipline conformism and isolation, in a time where both public and scientific debate is increasingly shattered.

Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society, 2nd European Regional Conference : Leadership, Learning and Research in Nursing and Midwifery
- 2014
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This is the second European Regional Conference, of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society. A tradition is now becoming established to hold a European Regional conference every alternate year. This year´s conference themes are Leadership, Learning, and Research in Nursing and Midwifery. The purpose of the conference is to bring together nurses from various areas, countries, and experiences to exchange ideas, research, and practice and to facilitate networking, collaboration, and friendship. The conference is organized by the Sigma Theta Tau International European Regional Committee and the Institute of Health and Care Sciences, at the Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and in collaboration with Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI). The conference has the ambition to interest nurses, midwives, students and researchers in diverse clinical practice and academic settings who are members of Sigma Theta Tau International. However, the conference is also interested to attract non-members, who strive to improve nursing care worldwide. The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International strives to provide leadership and scholarship in practice, education, and research to enhance the health of the world´s people. There are core expectations in nursing, midwifery, and caring that are central to professional working and will never change. Many of the oral and poster presentations in this conference illustrate these expectations. However, many presentations will also highlight the challenges that we face and the development that is required in nursing, midwifery, caring, education, and research. The seven themes in the programme reflect a broad range of issues, which will be of keen interest to most delegates. Three of these themes focused on patients, their families or caregivers and the world of professional nurses. One theme focuses on midwives and two themes focus on nurse teachers and the world of student nurses. The last theme focuses on methodological issues in research.
