Time-snaking facilitated debriefings about energy system futures – A megagame case study
Participation in a Megagame and a consecutive facilitated debriefing can enable large groups to co-construct awareness and knowledge about the complex relations involved in developing sustainable futures for current societies. “Switching the current” is a megagame where 20 to 100 participants collaboratively experience the challenges involved in shaping future energy consumption patterns and energy production solutions for their region, just and …
Improved executive function and sleep quality in preteens with high-functioning autism following a structured physical activity program
A structured physical activity program may improve executive functioning (as perceived by parents and supported by objective testing), enhance sensory processing, and improve sleep quality in children with high-functioning ASD who are not regularly physically active
A maturity model to guide inter-organisational crisis management and response exercises
This paper proposes a six-step maturity ladder for inter-organizational collaborative capability in crisis management and response operations. The paper argues that collaborative crisis management and response can be seen as a case of complex adaptive systems, where awareness of the organizational context of crisis response, technical interoperability, and individual relations are drivers that enable rapid and successful mobilization of crisis re…
Implementation of Brief Admission by Self-Referral in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Sweden
Brief admission by self-referral, which allows patients to briefly admit themselves to a psychiatric ward, is a crisis intervention designed to reduce suicide and self-harm. This method was introduced in Sweden for adult patients in 2015, achieving high patient satisfaction and good acceptance among staff. In 2018, the method was adapted and implemented in pediatric psychiatry. The present study comprehensively describes the multifaceted strategi…
Challenges and Controversies in Covid-19
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, spreads i. a., by respiratory droplets. The use of masks in preventing spread is controversial; masks are considered useless by many, while being mandated in some locations. Here, the effect of masking the general population on a COVID-19-like epidemic is estimated by computer simulation using three separate types of software. The main questions are whether mask use by the general population can limit t…
A Safe Place Where I Am Welcome to Unwind When I Choose to’—Experiences of Brief Admission by Self-Referral for Adolescents Who Self-Harm at Risk for Suicide
Evidence is lacking on how to manage imminent suicidality in adolescents with self-harm. Brief Admission by Self-referral (BA) is a crisis-management intervention, developed for adults with self-harm at risk for suicide. Structured, individualized and based on responsible autonomy, BA aims to provide a respite while minimizing negative effects of hospitalization. This qualitative interview study illuminates adolescents' experiences of BA, adapted…
Improved Wellbeing for Both Caretakers and Users from A Zoo-Related Nature Based Intervention—A Study at Nordens Ark Zoo, Sweden
Nature-based interventions have been proposed to promote physical and mental health and give stress reduction. Little attention has been given to the potential of zoos for human health and wellbeing. A disadvantaged group in Sweden regarding access to nature are individuals with disabilities who consequently do not have the same access to these health benefits as other groups. To increase awareness and knowledge regarding spending time in nature …
Youth strengths arise from the ashes of adversity
With problem-oriented approaches to practice, policy and research, youth considered to be ‘at-risk’ are not often viewed from a strengths-based perspective. Explorations of youths’ strengths are critical to help create environments where youth can flourish. The purpose of this research was to explore the resilience, healthy capabilities and strengths of youth at risk; from youth and staff perspectives across three community-based organizations in…
Dialectical Behavior Therapy as a catalyst for change in street-involved youth
Coordinated Analysis of Age, Sex, and Education Effects on Change in MMSE Scores
OBJECTIVES: We describe and compare the expected performance trajectories of older adults on the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) across six independent studies from four countries in the context of a collaborative network of longitudinal studies of aging. A coordinated analysis approach is used to compare patterns of change conditional on sample composition differences related to age, sex, and education. Such coordination accelerates evalua…
Lessons From a Concurrent Evaluation of Eight Antibullying Programs Used in Sweden
Sweden has a low prevalence of bullying and Swedish schools are legally obliged to have anti-bullying policies. Many commercial programs are available. A mixed methods, quasi-experimental, concurrent evaluation of 8 programs, chosen from a pool of 21 widely used anti-bullying programs, was planned. Preliminary data, based on 835 stakeholder interviews, both individual and group, revealed extensive program-contamination in "treatment" schools ( n …
Effects of Repeated Testing in a Longitudinal Age-Homogeneous Study of Cognitive Aging
Estimates of gains related to repeated test exposure (retest effects) and within-person cognitive changes are confounded in most longitudinal studies because of the nonindependent time structures underlying both processes. Recently developed statistical approaches rely on between-person age differences to estimate effects of repeated testing. This study, however, demonstrates how retest effects can be evaluated at the group level in an age-homoge…
Bunge vs. Bhaskar
Bunge vs. Bhaskar. Some critical reflections of the originality in new theoriesThis article takes its point of departure in the issue of the originality in new theories. By a comparative analysis of the thesis in Mario Bunge’s ”Causality” and Roy Bhaskar’s ”A Realist Theory of Science”, it is argued that many of the key concepts in the critical realist philosophy has a history that goes beyond that of Roy Bhaskar’s prominent book. The key-concept…
