Verksamhetsplan 2024 Verksamhetsplan för SACO Gotlands verksamhetsår 2024/25 SACO Arbetsutskottet (AU)/ Styrelse SACO Gotland SACO –AU består av representanter från SACO Gotlands förbund. SACO-AU verkar som SACO Gotlands styrelse. Enligt stadgarna väljs styrelsens ordförande av de medlemmar som närvarar på årsmötet. Övriga uppdrag fördelas inom styrelsen. Styrelsen planerar att utöver uppdrag som
In 2022, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established that global greenhouse gas emissions trajectories are not on track to limiting warming to less than 2 ° C above pre-industrial averages (IPCC 2022a). Given that broader progress towards ambitious climate change and sustainability goals remains incremental, a whole-of-society approach, including transformative innovation in t
Bakgrund: Patienter med avancerad gastrointestinal (GI) cancer har en hög symtombörda, vilket ofta medför behov av akutsjukvård. Integration av tidig, hem-baserad specialiserad palliativ vård (SPV) tillsammans med tumörspecifik behandling kan påverka behov av akut sjukvård.Metoder: Vid initiering av palliativ kemoterapi randomiserades patienter med avancerad GI-cancer till tidig hem-baserad SPV inBackgroundPatients with advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancer experience a high symptom burden which frequently necessitates emergency care. Integration of early home-based specialised palliative care (SPC) with tumour-specific treatments may impact emergency healthcare use.MethodsAt the initiation of palliative chemotherapy, patients with advanced GI cancer were randomised to early home-based SPC
I undertake a comparative doctrinal study of the due diligence and liability provisions of the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, also accounting for some of the changes and omissions proposed under the so-called “Omnibus” process to streamline the already passed directive. In relation to the due diligence provisions, my main thrust is in comparing the directive to
There is an urgent need to start generating energy within cities in order to pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient society. Renewable energy by means of active solar energy systems (solar thermal, ST and/or photovoltaics, PV) can be generated using roofs and facades of buildings. In this study, the annual solar energy potential of typical Swedish city blocks was analysed in order to de
We analyse recent experiments on momentum shearing interferometry of electron wave packets1,2 by using an optical analogy with shearing interferometry for optical waves. This analogy offers a convenient point of view to discuss the capabilities and difficulties of this technique used to access the phase of electron wave packets.
Sweden is considered an environmental sustainability pioneer, targeting a 50% reduction in energy use in buildings by 2050. This ambitious goal requires the active engagement of municipal actors and the building sector. Dialogue processes have been identified as a way to mobilize such engagement, but in earlier research, there has been a lack of studies where dialogue practices are analyzed in rea
Intraosseous (IO) access is normally reserved for emergencies and critical care conditions when venous cannulation is not possible. Nonetheless, we present a case of IO insertion to a 56-year-old man, tetraplegic for many years due to progressive spinal muscular atrophy and with refractory suffering. The IO access was used for palliative sedation with propofol in a home care setting. The patient d
The objective of this chapter is to contribute to the understanding of the growth of this global data-driven market ecology, mainly in order to pinpoint important regulatory challenges, where individual choice and agency, as well as competition, seem undermined. Truly, this development holds many promises for new innovation, some more disruptive than others, but also poses challenges that in this
Many lines of evidence suggest that the Parkinson’s disease (PD)-related protein α-synuclein (α-SYN) can propagate from cell to cell in a prion-like manner. However, the cellular mechanisms behind the spreading remain elusive. Here, we show that human astrocytes derived from embryonic stem cells actively transfer aggregated α-SYN to nearby astrocytes via direct contact and tunneling nanotubes (TNT
The aim of this study is to evaluate a new pedagogic approach implemented in a compulsory materials course for product design students at bachelors level at ABC University. When developing a new curriculum for the material course, a decision was made to teach materials and production methods in a contextualized setting with emphasis on how students can deal with materials in a design process. Meth
Background: Pain from various locations in the body and mental illness are common and the comorbidity between the two is well-known although the temporal relationship remains to be determined. Our aim was to follow patients over time to study if pain (here dorsalgia/abdominal pain) or fibromyalgia lead to an increased risk of developing mental illness (here depression/anxiety) and/or the reverse,
The Paris Agreement seemingly reaffirmed the central place occupied by the regime established by the UNFCCC in the international governance of climate change.Although the UNFCCC can be viewed as a form of ‘monocentric’ governance, it has become increasingly clear that the UNFCCC operates as part of a polycentric governance system. Due to the physical and socio-economic interconnections between cli
Purpose: The knowledge about young adults who have lost a parent to cancer is limited, and to reach a broader understanding about this group, this study used the Dual Process Model of Coping with Bereavement (Stroebe and Schut, 1999) as a theoretical framework. The purpose of this study was to describe loss- and restoration-oriented bereavement stressors and psychosocial wellbeing of young adults
Nursing homes are often places where older persons “come to die.” Despite this, death and dying are seldom articulated or talked about. The aim of this study was to explore assistant nurses’ experiences of conversations about death and dying with nursing home residents. This study is part of an implementation project through a knowledge-based educational intervention based on palliative care princ
Using Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD), we are able to separate bacteria by their size and their chain length. This separation enables the study of these properties as factors of virulence.
