Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allows to directly visualize and characterize small biological particles, such as viruses, making it an indispensable tool for development of vaccines and pharmaceuticals. However, the manual TEM grid preparation protocol strongly depends on the skill of the operator and affects the preparation consistency. Here, we present a capillary-driven microfluidic device for negative stain TEM (nsTEM) grid preparation with minimal user interaction. The presented device could make TEM grid preparations more consistent and provide non-specialists access to biological TEM investigations.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Introduction: The importance of mobile health has increased during recent years but few studies have described the use of apps among persons with neurological disabilities. Aim: The aim of this paper was to describe how persons ageing with a neurological disability experience barriers and facilitators in relation to using apps in everyday life. Method: A qualitative approach was used. 16 persons with neurological disorders participated in two group discussions. Data were analyzed by content analysis. Results: The analysis formed four categories; Impairments make apps harder to use, Use of apps is increased by learnability and sharing, Valuating the information in an app, and Apps act supportive and motivating. Conclusion: The participants used apps in the same way as persons without disabilities. Impairments and trustworthiness were perceived as barriers, which need to be acknowledged when developing apps for this population. Use of apps was facilitated by the possibility to share data and to connect with others. Apps may have the potential to improve self-management for persons ageing with disabilities but further research is needed.

Breast-feeding in Europe--rationale and prevalence, challenges and possibilities for promotion

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The status reports and other information collected showed that interpretation of the data on breast-feeding prevalence and duration collected at national or regional level within European countries is difficult, since this information is not collected in every country or it is gathered under different criteria. However, there seem to be vast differences in prevalence of breast-fed children and breast-feeding duration between European countries and possibly within countries. There is a need to establish monitoring systems enabling comparability of data between countries. Assessing determinants for breast-feeding is required as well. There are a number of important consensus documents supporting breast-feeding action. These documents are related to either one or more of the following categories: health benefits of breastfeeding; recommendations regarding breast-feeding duration and exclusiveness; providing guidance on breast-feeding promotion. Current recommendation is exclusive breast-feeding for 6 months.
