- Changes to the lighting of space and work in three libraries:Stockholm Public Library 1928, Norrköping Public Library 1971, and Helsinki Central Library Oodi 2018SummaryThe article examines how the design of daylight and electric light influences the creation and use of space by studying three specific examples: Stockholm Public Library from 1928; Norrköping Public Library from 1971; and Helsinki Central Library Oodi, which opened in 2018. The research combines an historical analysis with ethnographic field studies to examine lighting design as an integrated, active component of the narrative of the built heritage. The study of the libraries looks at the development of spatial lighting design and work lighting. The key role of reading light in library programmes provides insight into how contemporaneous rules and regulations for lighting were applied in the three examples. The study demonstrates how lighting theory, orientated towards quantitative assessment criteria for work lighting, increasingly prioritised an ideal of vision at the expense of spatial illumination. Yet the study also shows how technological advances have created new spatial possibilities, changing the conditions for previously established lighting practices. Based on the lighting design of the three libraries, the article poses the following questions:How have lighting technology and building design influenced each other, and what are the spatial results?How has lighting theory influenced the design of spatial illumination and work lighting?The three libraries represent three eras of light sources: the incandescent light bulb, fluorescent tube and light-emitting diode (LED), exemplifying how advances in lighting technology have provided increasingly intense, uniform and controllable illumination. Each library exhibits a different approach to the contrast management and flow of light. In the first example, which dates from an era when daylight was still central to the illumination needs of buildings, the lighting design derives from the contrast between light and dark, relating to how visitors moved through the building. In the second example, the lighting design stems from a uniform, more static form of illumination, catering for the needs of central vision. This design emerged at a time when electric light was already predominant. In this form of lighting design, contrast and flow recur, yet in a clearly different way to the two buildings of the previous century.

- RATIONALE: Many patients with psychotic symptoms respond poorly to treatment. Factors possibly affecting treatment response include the presence of polymorphisms in genes coding for various receptor populations, drug-metabolizing enzymes or transport proteins. OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether genetic polymorphisms could be indicators of treatment response to antipsychotic drugs. The genes of interest were the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2), the serotonin 2A and 2C receptor genes (HTR2A and HTR2C), the P-glycoprotein gene (ABCB1 or MDR1) and the drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 2D6 gene (CYP2D6). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data for this naturalistic, cross-sectional study of patients requiring antipsychotic drugs and attending the Psychosis Outpatient Care clinic in Jönköping, Sweden were obtained from patient interviews, blood samples and information from patient files. Blood samples were genotyped for DRD2 Taq1 A, Ins/Del and Ser311Cys, HTR2A T102C, HTR2C Cys23Ser, ABCB1 1236C>T, 2677G>T/A, 3435C>T and genetic variants of CYP2D6. The patients (n=116) were grouped according to the CANSEPT method regarding significant social and clinical needs and significant side effects. RESULTS: Patients on olanzapine homozygous for ABCB1 3435T, had more significant social and clinical needs than others. Patients with one or two DRD2 Taq1 A1 alleles had a greater risk of significant side effects, particularly if they were male, Caucasian, had a schizophrenic or delusional disorder or were taking strong dopamine D2-receptor antagonistic drugs. CONCLUSION: If these results are confirmed, patients carrying the DRD2 Taq1 A1 allele would benefit from using drugs without strong dopamine D2 receptor antagonistic properties.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Patients with psychotic symptoms often respond poorly to treatment. Outcomes can be affected by biological, physiological and psychological factors according to the vulnerability-stress model. The patient's coping strategies and beliefs have been correlated with outcomes. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the knowledge and insight in relation to treatment response. METHODS: A naturalistic study was performed using patient interviews and information gathered from patient drug charts. Apart from the rating scales used for classification of treatment response (CANSEPT method), the SPKS knowledge of illness and drugs rating scale was utilized. RESULTS: In the group of patients in functional remission (FR; n = 38), 37% had insight into their illness as compared to 10% among those not in functional remission (non-FR; n = 78; P < 0.01). As much as 23% of the non-FR group had no strategy for responding to warning signs versus 8% in the FR group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Better treatment outcomes appear to be associated with better insight into illness, higher knowledge of warning signs and better coping strategies.

Light across Disciplines and Times : A Walking Seminar at the Stockholm Public Library
- 2024
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Lighting in buildings today is a multi-disciplinary task. Increased complexity and specialization have led to a split process where coordination between disciplines is lacking. Despite extensive technical development, daylight and electric light are still planned in separate processes, often resulting in over-lit environments where energy savings, health and spatial potentials of daylight are not fully utilized. To address these problems, this paper introduces the walking seminar as a method to bridge and increase knowledge across disciplines in the field of lighting. The seminar was held at the Stockholm Public Library, and included invited participants with different professions and expertise: an architect, an electrical consultant, a lighting designer, a librarian, a caretaker, and an architectural historian who shared their perspectives on light. Based on the seminar, findings relevant for today's practice are presented, both for the specific case in itself, a listed building and an active library, and at a more general level concerning lighting standards and the interaction of daylight and electric light. The main future task for the building sector is to preserve and develop our existing building stock, which includes lighting. Sustainable and long-term solutions require that daylight, electric light and spatial lighting design are planned as an integrated whole, based on the characteristics of the specific building. Findings from the walking seminar presented in this paper point at the importance and potential in transdisciplinary dialogue to enable the development of long-term lighting solutions in our existing and future buildings.

Treatment Response in Psychotic Patients in a Naturalistic Setting : Classification, Genes, Drugs, Insight and Social Networks
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Many patients with psychotic symptoms respond poorly to treatment. Various approaches have been made to classify these patients according to treatment response. However, existing classifications have been criticized for various reasons and a new classification system is needed. Further, no satisfactory explanation of the poor treatment response has been apparent. The general aim of this thesis was therefore to develop and validate a new classification method of functional remission in a naturalistic population of patients with psychosis and to utilize this classification to investigate the population from genetic, drug treatment, insight and social network points of view. Data for this cross-sectional study of patients (n=123) attending the Psychosis Outpatient Care clinic in the county of Jönköping, Sweden, were obtained from patient interviews, blood samples and information from patient files. The new classification method CANSEPT, which combines the CAN rating scale (CAN), the UKU side effect rating scale (SE) and the patient’s previous treatment history (PT), showed validity in discriminating the patients and was accepted well by the patients. CANSEPT was used to group the patients in the other studies in this thesis. The results indicated that the gene polymorphism ABCB1 3435T, was related to worse significant social and clinical needs for patients on olanzapine, while the polymorphism DRD2 Taq1 A1 was related to a greater risk of significant side effects; especially if male, or taking strong dopamine D2-receptor antagonistic drugs. Drug treatment factors were also related to treatment response; longer duration of untreated prodromal and early psychosis was seen for patients with current significant social and clinical needs and non-adherence to treatment was associated with worse significant side effects. Worse treatment outcomes also appeared to be associated with smaller social network groups, worse insight into illness, poorer knowledge of warning signs and worse coping strategies. In summary, CANSEPT was shown to be a useful valid, multidimensional tool for classification of treatment response. Gene polymorphisms, duration of untreated illness, non-adherence to treatment, social networks and knowledge should be taken into consideration when investigating inadequate treatment response.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Various approaches have been made over the years to classify psychotic patients according to inadequate treatment response, using terms such as treatment resistant or treatment refractory. Existing classifications have been criticized for overestimating positive symptoms; underestimating residual symptoms, negative symptoms, and side effects; or being to open for individual interpretation. The aim of this study was to present and evaluate a new method of classification according to treatment response and, thus, to identify patients in functional remission. METHOD: A naturalistic, cross-sectional study was performed using patient interviews and information from patient files. The new classification method CANSEPT, which combines the Camberwell Assessment of Need rating scale, the Udvalg for Kliniske Undersøgelser side effect rating scale (SE), and the patient's previous treatment history (PT), was used to group the patients according to treatment response. CANSEPT was evaluated by comparison of expected and observed results. RESULTS: In the patient population (n = 123), the patients in functional remission, as defined by CANSEPT, had higher quality of life, fewer hospitalizations, fewer psychotic symptoms, and higher rate of workers than those with the worst treatment outcome. CONCLUSION: In the evaluation, CANSEPT showed validity in discriminating the patients of interest and was well tolerated by the patients. CANSEPT could secure inclusion of correct patients in the clinic or in research.

Urban densification affects daylighting: existing daylight levels in Swedish multi-family housing as a base for future daylight requirement
- 2017
-
Ingår i: PROCEEDINGS of the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on CHANGING CITIES III : Spatial, Design, Landscape & Socio-economic Dimensions - Spatial, Design, Landscape & Socio-economic Dimensions. - 9786185271121 ; , s. 987-997

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article presents the results of a study of the Swedish multi-family housing stock in relation to its daylight performance under overcast sky conditions. A total of 8573 rooms in 35 existing buildings were investigated using advanced lighting simulations to determine their point daylight factor, as defined in the current building regulations. The buildings were selected based on their architectural typology and construction era. The results show that, on average, the existing rooms meet the current daylighting requirement (point daylight factor DFp of 1%). The window sky exposure factor was found to affect the DFp significantly. Rooms with a large sky exposure angle that failed to meet the requirement were deep rooms or rooms with a small window-to-floor ratio. The general conclusion is that the current requirement can be considered realistic to ensure an adequate provision of daylight in multi-family dwellings.

Daylighting and lighting under a Nordic sky
- 2019. - First
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- After nearly a century when electric lighting has dominated the design of building interiors, a return to the use of daylight as the main ambient light source is motivated by energy, environmental, and health considerations. Good daylighting of building interiors not only promotes low energy use, it has the potential to (re)connect humans to the natural cycle of day and night, which promotes health and well-being. Light is especially important to people in the Nordic countries because it is scarce for a large part of the year and over-abundant around the summer solstice. The unique character of daylight provided by the Nordic sky – with its weak intensity in the winter and low sun angles in the summer – demands careful study and attention, as it is more precious than in any other location.The current context of densifying cities makes it increasingly difficult to provide sufficient amounts of daylight in buildings under Nordic sky conditions, especially in winter. Analyses using advanced building simulation programs are often needed to predict daylight levels and adjust the building design accordingly. The relevant building regulations and certification schemes need to be understood in depth if they are to be followed by design practitioners. In addition, state-of-the-art electric lighting technologies such as LEDs and advanced control systems require a good integration with daylighting design. Addressing these issues, this book provides the essential knowledge and background to students and practicing professionals who wish to tackle the challenging endeavor of illuminating buildings under a Nordic sky using daylight as the main ambient light source, supplemented by energy-efficient electric lighting systems.

Criteria for medicines management in hospitals
- 2011
-
Ingår i: EJHP Science. - 1781-7595. ; 17:3, s. 83-88
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Study objectives: The aim of this study was to develop quality criteria for further development and use in the Medicines Management(MM) process in European hospitals. Methods: Criteria for MM were developed in three steps using a modified two-stage Delphi-technique. In the first step a literature search was performed and 300 topics were listed. These topics were grouped into three dimensions, eight main and 23 sub areas, rephrased and a questionnaire including 114 criteria that could be perceived as important today and in the near future was prepared. In steps 2 and 3 a panel of experts independently, based on questionnaires, evaluated the importance between the dimensions, areas, and criteria on a four-level Likert-scale. In the second questionnaire the panel had access to the group results from the first questionnaire. Total importance and the three domains of patient safety, environment, and cost-effectiveness were evaluated. Results: Nine of 11 experts completed the two questionnaires. The three dimensions of patient use, healthcare handling, and strategic MM work, were well balanced and the importance ratings between them were 35, 39, and 26%, respectively. No criteria had a full mean importance of 4 but 31 criteria scored between 3.6 and 3.9. The patient safety domain importance scores were generally very high and the environmental domain low. Five criteria were considered to be of very big importance among all experts in the patient safety domain and none in the other two domains. Conclusion: This study provides important information on criteria for the further development of standards and indicators for a quality system in hospital settings, High Performance Medicines Management (HPMM).

Moderniserad dagsljusstandard
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report is the account of SBUF project 13209 “Moderniserad dagsljusstandard” (Modernized daylight standard). This is a continuation of the SBUF project 12966 “Förstudie dagsljusstandard” (Pre-study daylight standard) published in 2015. SBUF and the Swedish Energy Agency are the two sources of this project’s funding. The task has been to freely describe and interpret history, day-to-day and future development needs for daylight in buildings within the framework of the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning. The project has been a feasibility study in order to design a proposal on how to proceed towards creating an improved and modernized interpretation of BBR section 6: 322. The ultimate goal is a daylight standard applicable to the construction industry and functioning.
