Ulriksdals slott under 350 år
- 1995
-
Reports (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Studierna har utgått från Ulriksdals slott, uppfört av Jacob De la Gardie för 350 år sedan. Som kungligt slott har Ulriksdal genomgått ombyggnader under 1600 - och 1700-talet, men präglas idag mest av Karl XVs omfattande omdaning på 1850-talet och Gustav VI Adolfs lika genomgripande förändringar på 1920-talet.Slottet har bjudit på rika studiemöjligheter av stilideal, planlösning, interiörgestaltning, snickerikultur och stormtekniska system från hela 350-årsperioden. Genom noggranna uppmätningar och inventeringar på plats kopplade till arkivstudier har slottets komplicerade förändringshistoria kunnat analyseras,

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: About 50% of university students overconsume alcohol, and drinking habits in later adulthood are to some extent established during higher educational studies. Several studies have demonstrated that Internet-based interventions have positive effects on drinking habits among university students. Our recent study evaluated two mobile phone apps targeting drinking choices at party occasions via personalized feedback on estimated blood alcohol concentration (eBAC) for students with hazardous drinking. No changes in drinking parameters were found over a seven-week period apart from an increase in number of drinking occasions among men for one of the apps tested. Up to 30% of the study participants drank at potentially harmful levels: higher than the national recommended number of standard drinks per week (a maximum of 9 for women and 14 for men) in Sweden. Objective: (1) To evaluate improved versions of the two mobile phone apps tested in our prior trial, in a new, 3-armed randomized controlled trial among university students with at least hazardous drinking habits according to the Alcohol Use Disorders Identifications Test (AUDIT; Study 1). (2) After 6 weeks, to target study participants showing alcohol consumption higher than the national recommended levels for standard drinks per week by offering them participation in a second, 2-armed randomized trial evaluating an additional mobile phone app with skill enhancement tasks (Study 2). (3) To follow participants at 6, 12 and 18 weeks after recruitment to Study 1 and at 6 and 12 weeks after recruitment to Study 2. Methods: Two randomized controlled trials are conducted. Study 1: Students are recruited at four Swedish universities, via direct e-mail and advertisements on Facebook and student union web sites. Those who provide informed consent, have a mobile phone, and show at least hazardous alcohol consumption according to the AUDIT (≥6 for women; ≥8 points for men) are randomized into three groups. Group 1 has access to the Swedish government alcohol monopoly’s app, Promillekoll, offering real-time estimated eBAC calculation; Group 2 has access to a Web-based app, PartyPlanner, developed by the research group, offering real-time eBAC calculation with planning and follow-up functions; and Group 3 participants are controls. Follow-up is conducted at 6, 12 and 18 weeks. Study 2. Participants who at the first 6-week follow-up show drinking levels higher than 9 (W) or 14 (M) standard drinks (12 g alcohol) per week, are offered participation in Study 2. Those who consent are randomized to either access to a skills training app, TeleCoach or to a wait-list control group. Results: Latent Markov models for Study 1 and mixed models analyses for Study 2 will be performed. Study 2 data will be analyzed for publication during the spring of 2016; Study 1 data will be analyzed for publication during the fall of 2016. Conclusions: If mobile phone interventions for reducing hazardous alcohol use are found to be effective, the prospects for positively influencing substance use-related health among university students can considerably improve.

Mobile phone brief intervention applications for risky alcohol use among university students : Three randomized controlled studies

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Introduction: Most university students overconsume alcohol and have smartphones. Brief online interventions reduce students’ alcohol intake. Delivering brief interventions to students via smartphone apps should be investigated. Method: Students at several Swedish universities were invited to the 3 studies described via e-mails and online ads. Students with a smartphone and risky alcohol consumption according to the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) were included, following informed consent. Three apps were tested, two targeting individual drinking choices on party occasions (Promillekoll and PartyPlanner), and one targeting high-risk users (TeleCoach™). Study 1 offered randomization into 3 groups: Promillekoll (1), offering real-time estimated blood alcohol concentration (eBAC) calculation; PartyPlanner (2), a web-based app with real-time eBAC calculation and additional planning/follow-up functions; a control group (3). Follow-up occurred at 7 weeks. Study 2 replicated Study 1; changes included improved apps based on Study 1 results, and follow-up times extended from 7 to 14 and 21 weeks (T1, T2 & T3). Study 3 offered participants at T1 from Study 2, who drank over 9 (women) and 14 (men) standard drinks/week, randomization into an intervention group (TeleCoach™) and a wait-list control group (intervention offered at T2). Results: For Study 1, 1932 fulfilled eligibility criteria for randomization. Attrition was 22.7–39.3 percent, higher among heavier drinkers and highest in Group 2. Per-protocol analyses revealed one significant timeby- group interaction, where Group 1 participants increased the frequency of their drinking occasions compared to controls (p = 0.001). Among all participants, 29 percent showed high-risk drinking, over the recommended weekly drinking levels of 9 (women) and 14 (men) standard glasses. Preliminary results will be reported for Studies 2 and 3. Discussion: Mobile phone apps offer a huge potential for making brief interventions available to more university students than ever before. Research is needed to identify effective app content.

Coupling of antigen to cholera toxin for dendritic cell vaccination promotes the induction of MHC class I-restricted cytotoxic T cells and the rejection of a cognate antigen-expressing model tumor.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We previously demonstrated that cholera toxin (CT) is highly efficient as a combined carrier and adjuvant for dendritic cell (DC) vaccination, inducing strong Th1-dominated B cell and CD4(+) T cell responses. In this study we show that vaccination with DC pre-pulsed ex vivo with CT-conjugated OVA (OVA-CT) gives rise to OVA-specific CD8(+) T cells that produce IFN-gamma and are cytotoxic for OVA-expressing E.G7 tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo. The induction of specific CD8(+) CTL by OVA-CT-treated DC was associated with enhanced presentation of OVA peptide (SIINFEKL) on MHC class I in combination with an overall activation of the pulsed DC. Vaccination of mice with OVA-CT-pulsed DC resulted in rejection of already established MHC class I-positive, MHC class II-negative, OVA-expressing E.G7 tumors in an antigen-specific, CD8(+) T cell-dependent fashion and was associated with high numbers of tumor-infiltrating CD8(+) T cells. Conjugation of antigen to CT facilitated DC uptake of the linked antigen through the GM1 receptor-binding B subunit and induced strong activation-maturation signals through the biologically active A subunit. These results have interesting implications for DC vaccination aimed at inducing CTL immune responses.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- tangible user interface (TUI) for organic chemistry education.The empirical evaluation described in this paper compareslearning effectiveness and user acceptance of AC versus themore traditional ball-and-stick model (BSM). Learningeffectiveness results were almost the same for both learningenvironments. User preference and rankings, using NASATLXand SUMI, showed more differences and it wastherefore decided to focus mainly on improving these aspectsin a re-design of the AC system. For enhanced interaction,keyboard-free system configuration, and internal/externaldatabase (DB) access, a graphical user interface (GUI) hasbeen incorporated into the TUI. Three-dimensional (3D)rendering has also been improved using shadows and relatedeffects, thereby enhancing depth perception. The re-designedAC system was then compared to the old system by means ofa small qualitative user study. This user study showed animprovement in subjective opinions about the system’s easeof use and ease of learning.
