Tuttava på svenska. Ett arbetsmaterial om ordning och reda för småföretag
- 2002
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Tuttava är en metod som utvecklats av Jorma Saari vid Insitutet för Arbetshygien i Helsingfors. Metoden syftar till ett effektivt arbete med ordning och reda på företag, för att på det sättet förebygga olycksfall. I detta projekt har Tuttava vidareutvecklats för att passa för små företag. Tester har gjorts på sex företag och mot bakgrund av resultaten i dessa företag har Tuttava-metoden vidareutvecklats. Metoden har visat sig ge en positiv effekt i de sex företagen, även om alla företag inte fullföljt arbetet med Tuttava. Speciellt positivt är att alla medarbetare engageras i arbetet med Tuttava och att man skapar en mer enhetlig syn inom företaget på ordning och reda. Dessutom förbättras samarbetet inom företaget. Utgående från testerna har två varianter av Tuttava utvecklats. Den ena varianten, Mikro-Tuttava, är enkel och anpassad för de minsta företagen eller arbetsplatserna. Den andra varianten, Stora Tuttava, är mer arbetskrävande och passar för lite större företag.

Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Ordinal Data Using Full-Information Adaptive Quadrature
- 2016
-
In: Australian & New Zealand journal of statistics (Print). - : Wiley. - 1369-1473 .- 1467-842X. ; 58:2, s. 173-196
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We conducted confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of responses (N=803) to a self-reported measure of optimism, using full-information estimation via adaptive quadrature (AQ), an alternative estimation method for ordinal data. We evaluated AQ results in terms of the number of iterations required to achieve convergence, model fit, parameter estimates, standard errors (SE), and statistical significance, across four link-functions (logit, probit, log-log, complimentary log-log) using 3-10 and 20 quadrature points. We compared AQ results with those obtained using maximum likelihood, robust maximum likelihood, and robust diagonally weighted least-squares estimation. Compared to the other two link-functions, logit and probit not only produced fit statistics, parameters estimates, SEs, and levels of significance that varied less across numbers of quadrature points, but also fitted the data better and provided larger completely standardised loadings than did maximum likelihood and diagonally weighted least-squares. Our findings demonstrate the viability of using full-information AQ to estimate CFA models with real-world ordinal data.

Improving information perception from digital images for users with dichromatic color vision
- 2014
-
In: COLOR IMAGING XIX: DISPLAYING, PROCESSING, HARDCOPY, AND APPLICATIONS. - : International Society for Optical Engineering; 1999. - 9780819499325 ; , s. 9015-02-

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Color vision deficiency (CVD) is the inability, or limited ability, to recognize colors and discriminate between them. A person with this condition perceives a narrower range of colors compared to a person with normal color vision. In this study we concentrate on recoloring digital images in such a way that users with CVD, especially dichromats, perceive more details from the recolored images compared to the original ones. During this color transformation process, the goal is to keep the overall contrast of the image constant, while adjusting the colors that might cause confusion for the CVD user. In this method, RGB values at each pixel of the image are first converted into HSV values and, based on pre-defined rules, the problematic colors are adjusted into colors that are perceived better by the user. Comparing the simulation of the original image, as it would be perceived by a dichromat, with the same dichromatic simulation on the recolored image, clearly shows that our method can eliminate a lot of confusion for the user and convey more details. Moreover, an online questionnaire was created and a group of 39 CVD users confirmed that the transformed images allow them to perceive more information compared to the original images.

Nanoparticles influence pathophysiology of spinal cord injury and repair
- 2009
-
In: Progress in Brain Research. - Amsterdam : Elsevier. - 0079-6123 .- 1875-7855. - 9780444534316 ; 180, s. 155-180
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious clinical problem for which no suitable therapeutic strategies have been worked out so far. Recent studies suggest that the SCI and its pathophysiological responses could be altered by systemic exposure to nanoparticles. Thus, SCI when made in animals intoxicated with engineered nanoparticles from metals or silica dust worsened the outcome. On the other hand, drugs tagged with titanium (TiO2) nanoparticles or encapsulated in liposomes could enhance their neuroprotective efficacy following SCI. Thus, to expand our knowledge on nanoparticle-induced alterations in the spinal cord pathophysiology further research is needed. These investigations will help to develop new strategies to achieve neuroprotection in SCI, for example, using nanodrug delivery. New results from our laboratory showed that nanoparticle-induced exacerbation of cord pathology following trauma can be reduced when the suitable drugs tagged with TiO2 nanowires were administered into the spinal cord as compared to those drugs given alone. This indicates that nanoparticles depending on the exposure and its usage could induce both neurotoxicity and neuroprotection. This review discusses the potential adverse or therapeutic utilities of nanoparticles in SCI largely based on our own investigations. In addition, possible mechanisms of nanoparticle-induced exacerbation of cord pathology or enhanced neuroprotection following nanodrug delivery is described in light of recently available data in this rapidly emerging field of nanoneurosciences.

Feminist Political and Legal Theories
- 2023. - 1
-
In: Gender-Competent Legal Education. - Cham : Springer. - 9783031143595 - 9783031143601 ; , s. 57-94
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter presents an overview of feminist legal and political thought, aiming at discussing the different perspectives within feminist thought. In the first part, basic concepts in feminist thought such as gender, patriarchy, and feminism are explained, and a brief overview of the historical evolution of feminist movements is provided. The other two sections focus in greater detail on political and legal theories, respectively, including a critical analysis of the influence of patriarchy on mainstream legal and political discourses. The chapter will further provide a description of how classical concepts of political or legal tradition have been reconsidered from a feminist point of view, and a short presentation of the most important issues at stake in both these fields.

Becoming war: Towards a martial empiricism
- 2020
-
In: Security Dialogue. - : SAGE Publications. - 0967-0106 .- 1460-3640. ; 51:2-3, s. 99-118
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Under the banner of martial empiricism, we advance a distinctive set of theoretical and methodological commitments for the study of war. Previous efforts to wrestle with this most recalcitrant of phenomena have sought to ground research upon primary definitions or foundational ontologies of war. By contrast, we propose to embrace war’s incessant becoming, making its creativity, mutability and polyvalence central to our enquiry. Leaving behind the interminable quest for its essence, we embrace war as mystery. We draw on a tradition of radical empiricism to devise a conceptual and contextual mode of enquiry that can follow the processes and operations of war wherever they lead us. Moving beyond the instrumental appropriations of strategic thought and the normative strictures typical of critical approaches, martial empiricism calls for an unbounded investigation into the emergent and generative character of war. Framing the accompanying special issue, we outline three domains around which to orient future research: mobilization, design and encounter. Martial empiricism is no idle exercise in philosophical speculation. It holds the promise of a research agenda apposite to the task of fully contending with the momentous possibilities and dangers of war in our time.

-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Digital anamorphosis is used to define a distorted image of health and care that may be viewed correctly using digital tools and strategies. MASK digital anamorphosis represents the process used by MASK to develop the digital transformation of health and care in rhinitis. It strengthens the ARIA change management strategy in the prevention and management of airway disease. The MASK strategy is based on validated digital tools. Using the MASK digital tool and the CARAT online enhanced clinical framework, solutions for practical steps of digital enhancement of care are proposed.

Changes in optical properties of MnAs thin films on GaAs(001) induced by a- to B-phase transition
- 2008
-
In: Physica Status Solidi (a) applications and materials science. - : Wiley-VCH Verlagsgesellschaft. - 1862-6300 .- 1862-6319. ; 205:4, s. 859-862
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- MnAs layers with 45 nm thickness were grown epitaxially on GaAs(001) substrates. Ellipsometry measurements were made in the spectral range 0.045 eV to 6 eV as a function of temperature (between –10 °C and 50 °C) at 70° of incidence. In this way the transition from the hexagonal α-phase to the orthorhombic β-phase could be monitored. Non-zero off-diagonal elements of the Jones matrix for an azimuth of 38° off the [10] axis of the substrate indicate that the optical functions of MnAs are anisotropic in both phases. The optical conductivity exhibits low-energy interband transitions around 0.3 eV, more clearly seen in the α-phase than in the β-phase. Extrapolation of the optical conductivity to zero frequency confirms that the α-phase is about two times more conducting than the β-phase. A broad structure is observed in the visible range around 3 eV. The α-phase is characterised by an anisotropy induced energy difference of this structure with a maximum at 2.8 eV for the extraordinary index and at 3.15 eV for the ordinary index. This difference vanishes in the β-phase in which anisotropy mainly induces changes in amplitude of the 3 eV structure. The assignment of the structures will be discussed.
