Digital Quantification using Amplified Single-Molecule Detection
- 2006
-
In: Nature Methods. - 1548-7091 .- 1548-7105. ; 3:9, s. 725-727
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We describe a scheme for biomolecule enumeration by converting nanometer-scale specific molecular recognition events mediated by rolling-circle amplification to fluorescent micrometer-sized DNA molecules amenable to discrete optical detection. Our amplified single-molecule detection (SMD) approach preserves the discrete nature of the molecular population, allowing multiplex detection and highly precise quantification of molecules over a dynamic range of seven orders of magnitude. We apply the method for sensitive detection and quantification of the bacterial pathogen Vibrio cholerae.

Att länka miljöeffekter och sociala effekter: Utvärdering av LIP-finansierade bostadsförnyelseprojekt
- 2005
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Denna utvärdering av LIP-finasierade bostadsförnyelseprojekt, s.k. flerdimensio-nella projekt, kom till stånd för att det finns ett intresse från Naturvårdsverket av att ta fram kunskap om vilket samspel som finns mellan miljöeffekter och sociala effekter i denna typ av nationella satsningar. Förutom att fokusera på miljöeffekter, har vi således också studerat hur de boende har varit inblandade i arbetet och i vilken mån lokalt anställda och boende varit involverade i en lärandeprocess med bestående resultat. Vi har också tittat på om områdets attraktivitet har förändrats.Utvärderingen har lagts upp på ett sätt som är inspirerat av fallstudiemetodik och i studien ingår tio projekt. Analysen vilar på i princip fyra olika typer av information en miljömatris, en massmediastudie, en intervjuundersökning av boende och anställda samt statistiska data om re-spektive bostadsområde.De teorier vi valt att använda för analys av den samlade empirin MAINtetra (Kain 2003) är en tankemodell avsedd att bistå i sökandet efter ökad förståelse om och kunskapsinhämtning gällande komplexa problem från en mångtydig verklighet. Den underlättar alltså möjligheten att relatera olika kunskapsområden till varandra för att öka förståelsen för hur de olika delarna berör varandra i perspektivet hållbar utveckling. Sammantaget visar utvärderingen att det är nödvändigt att länka miljöaspekter och sociala aspekter för att få långvarig effekt och för att få ett helhetsperspektiv. Detta är knappast ett kontroversiellt resultat även om ett sådant arbetssätt är långt ifrån praxis i samhället. Det som är mest intressant är kanske heller inte att detta samband är viktigt. Utvärderingen visar snarare på hur miljöaspekter och sociala aspekter hänger samman. Denna förståelse och kunskap är viktig, eftersom det är den som ger individer anledning till att förändra sina beteendemönster.

Interplace Planning - Theory and Practice: Partnership and Participation in Transformation of Multicultural Neighbourhoods
- 2007
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The present article deals with inhabitant participation in planning. First, it presents a theoretical framework, developed on the basis of previous research on stigmatized multicultural metropolitan housing areas. Second, it describes the outcome of a planning project, including inhabitant participation, which made some use of the theoretical framework. Third, relating these outcomes to recent articles on governance, collaboration, partnerships and inhabitant participation, it concludes by focusing on two certain and interrelated themes: the question of accountability when inhabitants are involved in planning and the question of institutionalized responsibility for inhabitant participation.

Multi-dimensional Evaluation of National Funding Programmes: Managing the Intermix of Mind, Artefact, Institution and Nature
- 2005
-
In: Evaluation in Planning, Sixth International Workshop in Stockholm, Sweden, December 9–11 2005.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Implementing the vision of sustainable development imply a need for multi-dimensional evaluations. The discussion in this paper is based on experience from two evaluations of Swedish national funding programmes the Local Development Agreements and the Local Investment Programmes and a thesis focusing on how urban design and planning are related to the changes in so-called exposed suburban metropolitan areas in Sweden. In the last mentioned evaluation the aim was to link environmental aspects and social aspects, scrutinizing this relationship with a special focus on eight environmental and seven social themes related to the evaluation questions. For this purpose the evaluation was designed inspired by case study evaluation, including ten projects in housing areas from the sixties and seventies in the study. The empirical material consisted of four different types of information an environmental matrix; a mass media study; interviews with tenants and employees; and statistical data about the housing areas. The theories we applied for analysing the empirical material the MAINtetra (Kain 2003) has been developed to facilitate for the understanding of complex problems coming from an ambiguous reality. The model, thus, facilitates for relating different knowledge areas and building up an understanding of how they are related to each other in the perspective of sustainable development. Utilizing the MAINtetra as model for systematizing and analysing empirical material showed to be helpful when evaluating projects from the perspective of linking social and environmental effects. First, because the model implied a consciousness of how the empirical material was related the broad vision of sustainable development. Second, the model implied that we were influenced to focus on how the conflicting perspectives presented by different local actors related to the broad vision of sustainable development. In the concluding chapter we also present some difficulties we experienced when using the MAINtetra, additionally some limitations of the software Hyper Research.

Planning in Interplace: On Transformation of Stigmatized and Ethnically Segregated Suburban Metropolitan Housing Areas
- 2005
-
In: Life in the Urban Landscape, Gothenburg, Sweden.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Suburban metropolitan areas in Sweden built in the sixties and seventies are often considered exposed areas and are consequently involved in interventions aimed at dealing with problems such as unemployment, poverty and social exclusion. This paper, which is built on the results from a thesis within the field of planning and sustainable development, focuses on how urban planning is related to this social problem. The case study in the thesis comprised an evaluation of an area-based funding programme called the Local Development Agreements. The research question was related to the roles of local employees. What can the field of planning learn from the case study if implementation of the funding programme is considered in relation to national policies as well as citizens opinions? The empirical material was analysed using a critical realist understanding of reality and from the point of view of three theoretical themes: time, power and learning. In short, the analysis revealed that local employees found it difficult to make use of the funding programme for learning: Although the programme brought to light triggers for learning with potential to challenge theories-in-use counterproductive to double-loop learning on themes in focus in the programme, the option to learn was most often not triggered by the employees. The reason was multifaceted and related to the three theoretical themes, however, considering the overall outcome, it was obvious to ask whether existing organizations actually have the potential to make changes with regard to extensive themes such as social inclusion. Then again, it was also revealed that the involved local employees were neither responsible for initiating learning processes nor prepared to handle any conflicting perspectives between prospective learning processes and ordinary procedures. Triggers for learning were revealed in the »interplace« a third world closely related to the Aristotelian notion of phronesis and with potential to enhance understanding between the two worlds of space and place. Planning based on interplace-divided understanding of the environment, as a complement, may be an option, considering the vision of sustainable development. Such a strategy for sustainable development is not new. What is new is rather the focus on how this could be accomplished taking into consideration the local prerequisites of stigmatized and ethnically segregated suburban metropolitan housing areas.

Potentials for Sustainable Development by Amalgamating Social and Environmental Aspects: Experiences from Refurbishment Projects in Sweden
- 2005
-
In: The 2005 World Sustainable Building Conference, Tokyo, Japan.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Swedish Government has assigned SEK 6.2 billion for Local Investment Programmes (LIP) for the period 1998-2005. The funding programme intends to facilitate for municipalities, in cooperation with business com-panies and non-governmental organizations, to achieve environmental improvements. The programme encouraged the inclusion of social aspects in the municipal packages of measures. More than two hundred programmes have received subsidies; about eighty have had a multidimensional character i.e. encom-passing a number of environmental aspects and social aspects. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has commissioned an evaluation of these programmes in order to understand more about the advantages of multidimensional efforts. The question is: What is the potential for sustainable development, if amalgamating social and environmental aspects? The evaluation is carried through as a case study of ten refurbishment programmes having a multidimensional character. Data about the environ-mental effects is gained from a special LIP-database and official documents. Quantitative and qualitative information about the social aspects is collected by studying mass media articles and statistics of the area and by carrying out interviews with project leaders and involved inhabitants. The analysis of the empirical material is conducted with help from theories on sustainable development, the so-called MAINtetra which supports the discussion on the relationship between environmental aspects and social aspects in local processes aiming at sustainable development.
