German forests are in a deteriorating state. The effects of climate change are increasingly showing and presenting society, and also forest owners, with the challenge of restructuring forests to become more climate resilient. At the same time there is a need to halt forest biodiversity loss and to further provide renewable resources that can be used to decarbonise its economy. At present forests’

Objective: Family members of a person with drug addiction often experience negative impacts on their lives and face barriers to seeking professional support. More knowledge is needed about such barriers so they can be reduced. This article examines the help-seeking experiences of parents of adult children with drug addiction, a group that has received little attention in research. Method: We condu

I artikeln presenterar forskarna Tillsammans-projektet, som syftar till att förbättra socialt stöd genom samverkan mellan civilsamhället och vården. Projektet bygger på community connector-modellen, där en samhällskontakt agerar som mellanhand för att koppla patienter till stöttande resurser. Modellen, som utvecklats genom workshops, strävar efter att skapa ett mer omfattande stöd utanför vården, I artikeln presenterar forskarna Tillsammans-projektet, som syftar till att förbättra socialt stöd genom samverkan mellan civilsamhället och vården.

Contemporary ghost stories can be mediated through television series that familiarize viewers with the idea of supernatural/spiritual phenomena, and present a way of witnessing, experiencing and dealing with such phenomena. TheSwedish TV series Det Okända(The Unknown) is an example of such a production. A –presumably –spiritual phenomenon is tailored to fit a popular culture format and is served t

As in most cultural contexts and theoretical conceptualizations of peacebuilding, the fulfilment of justice and the sustainment of peace are intimately related in the Arab-Islamic frame of reference. In the Qur’an and Islamic philosophy, there is a direct correlation between establishing a just social order and the notion of peacebuilding (Abu-Nimer 2006). Guidelines are set forth for building a so

Aim: The aim of the study was to deepen the current knowledge of how patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and long-term oxygen treatment think about and expect end-of-life. Design: A qualitative design was used. Methods: A purposeful sample of 19 patients with oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was obtained from the Swedish National Registry on Respiratory Failur

Background: General practitioners (GPs) play a key role in managing the COVID-19 outbreak. However, they may encounter difficulties adapting their practices to the pandemic. We provide here an analysis of guidelines for the reorganisation of GP surgeries during the beginning of the pandemic from 15 countries. Methods: A network of GPs collaborated together in a three-step process: (i) identificati

Per-Olof Hedvall ger en inblick i hur universell design startade och hur det tankeskiftet tar klivet in i arbetslivet med UUA. Om hur vi kan göra arbetslivet mer tillgängligt från början och minska risken för kategoriseringar och särbehandling.

Students’ beliefs about division by zero and numbers on the number line werestudied through explanations of the concepts in questionnaires and interviewsduring their teacher education to become primary school teachers in the years4–6. The concepts were chosen for students’ proven cognitive challenges incoping with them, with the aim to add to the existing knowledge in terms ofspecific and general

A continuous monitoring system was installed on the Oseberg ship, a large Viking Age archaeological wooden object (oak), in order to determine the material response to the uncontrolled conditions at the Viking Ship Museum, Oslo, Norway. Four areas have been monitored since July 2009, two boards on the ship and two samples free to deform (recent oak and a sample removed from the ship). Results, rep

This chapter summarizes my doctoral thesis about Universal Design (UD) in Sweden, contributing knowledge about the understanding, implementation, and co-creation of UD. The implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Sweden made UD a guiding principle, necessitating research about the practical side of UD. Using qualitative research methods, interviews and gro

The field of hybrid human-artificial intelligence (HHAI), although primarily driven by developments in AI, also requires fundamentally new approaches and solutions. Multidisciplinary in nature, it calls for collaboration across various research domains, such as AI, HCI, the cognitive and social sciences, philosophy and ethics, and complex systems, to name but a few. This book presents the proceedi

Rationale: A care bundle approach to the management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been shown to benefit patients in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), but uncertainty persists over the specific components and its applicability in high-income countries (HICs). Aims: An international collaborative initiative aimed at determining whether implementation of a care bundle impro

Background: Recent advances have highlighted the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) systems to assist clinicians with administrative and clinical tasks, but concerns regarding biases, lack of regulation, and potential technical issues pose significant challenges. The lack of a clear definition of AI, combined with limited focus on qualitative research exploring clinicians' perspectives, has
