Etiska aspekter på regenerativ medicin : Ethical aspects on regenerative medicine
2003
Ingår i: SNIB-konferensen 2003, Chalmers tekniska högskola, Göteborg, 16-18 maj 2003.
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt) abstract
Inom den regenerativa medicinen strävar man efter att ersätta skadat eller sjukligt biologiskt mänskligt material (celler, organ, kroppsdelar) med nya biologiska komponenter. Området aktualiserar en rad etiska frågeställningar vad gäller (1) produktionen av ersättningsmaterialet (t.ex. embryonala stamceller eller införskaffande av transplantationsvävnad från donatorer), (2) risker i samband med försök på människa (genmodifierat material, material från djur), samt (3) gränserna för hur långt man bör gå i denna slags försök att förlänga människans livsspann. Föredraget ger en kort översikt över dessa frågeställningar, ståndpunkter och argument i debatten kring dem.

The precarious practice of forensic psychiatric risk assessments
2009
Ingår i: International Journal of Law and Psychiatry. - : Elsevier BV. - 0160-2527. ; 32:6, s. 400-407
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat) abstract
The development of forensic psychiatric risk assessments is discussed from a clinical point of view using the example of Sweden. A central task in forensic psychiatry has traditionally been to identify dangerous, mentally disordered subjects considered to be prone to commit violent acts. Over time, “dangerousness” has been reworded into “risk”. Nevertheless, such assessments have generally been based on the psychiatric factors characterising the individual patient, while group interaction, situational factors, or social and cultural circumstances, such as the availability of alcohol and drugs, have been largely overlooked. That risk assessments have a focused on people with a diagnosis of “mental disorder” and been used as grounds for coercive measures and integrity violations has somehow been accepted as a matter of course in the public and political debate. Even the basic question whether offenders with a mental disorder are really more prone to criminal recidivism than other offenders seems to have been treated light-handedly and dealt with merely by epidemiological comparisons between groups of persons with broad ranges of psychosocial vulnerability and the general population. Legal texts, instructions and guidelines from the authorities in charge are often vague and general, while actors in the judicial system seem to put their trust in psychiatric opinions. The exchange of professional opinions, general public expectations, and judicial decision processes poses a huge risk for misunderstandings based on divergent expectations and uses of terminology.

Implications of Transforming the Patient Record into a Knowledge Management System : Initiating a Movement of Coordination and Enhancement
2008
Ingår i: The ICFAI University Journal of Knowledge Management. - New Dehli : The ICFAI University Press. - 0972-9216. ; Nov:6
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat) abstract
Today there is often a need to re-innovate who you are and what you do and re-think the tools that are used and the business models that guide action. The purpose of this paper is to show how transforming a document, such as a patient record, might start a horizontal and vertical movement, a movement of coordination and enhancement in an organizational setting, such as a hospital clinic. The observations presented here and the conclusions drawn were obtained during a three year case study following implications of constructing and computerizing a patient record at three different hospitals. The results were then analyzed, interpreted and discussed within a framework combining theories about knowledge management and with cognitive theories about use of interpretative schemes and representations. This paper tries to look beyond the implications of reconstructing a patient record on a micro-level or explore if it is good or bad to computerize it. Instead this paper theorizes about how re-thinking the interpretative scheme for what a patient record is and how it may be used might restructure a health care setting. It proposes that what the employees want to achieve with the knowledge management system depends on what strategy they have for it.

Early Interventions in Children with Intellectual Disabilities
2009
Ingår i: Annals of Union of Scientists. - Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria : Annual of Union of Scientiests. ; , s. 215-220
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt) abstract
Support services required by families with children with intellectual disabilities vary in different countries and depend mainly on the social environment in each society. This is essential to recognize when intervention is conducted with children with disabilities and their families. Early intervention was previously and is still partly connected to the theory of sensitive periods in early child development altthough the view of child development and childhood has nowadays been changed.The article focuses on early intervention in children primarily with intellectual disabilities.

Att värdera evidens – och att värdera liv : Evaluating evidence and valuing life
2009
Ingår i: Värdebaserad medicin och evidensbaserad medicin, Svenska Läkaresällskapet, Stockholm, 3/3 2009.
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt) abstract
Vi kan skilja mellan värderingar av fyra slag: 1) Värderingar av evidens. 2) Patientens preferenser (hennes “livsvärden”). 3) Etiska värderingar (vårdarens/patientens). 4) Ekonomiska värderingar. Jag fokuserar på de första och sista punkterna och försöker beskriva några viktiga olösta problem i samband med dem.

Economic consequences to society of pandemic H1N1 influenza 2009 : preliminary results for Sweden
2009
Ingår i: Eurosurveillance. - : European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC). - 1025-496X .- 1560-7917. ; 14:37, s. 19333-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat) abstract
Experiments using a microsimulation platform show that vaccination against pandemic H1N1 influenza is highly cost-effective. Swedish society may reduce the costs of pandemic by about SEK 2.5 billion (approximately EUR 250 million) if at least 60 per cent of the population is vaccinated, even if costs related to death cases are excluded. The cost reduction primarily results from reduced absenteeism. These results are preliminary and based on comprehensive assumptions about the infectiousness and morbidity of the pandemic, which are uncertain in the current situation.
