2. 1. Designing Healing. A Conceptual Model for Promoting a Healing Health Care Environment in Tanzania

   Author : Moses Mkony; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; healthcare facilities; system analysis approach; matrix design; Healing environment; vernacular architecture; cultural system.; sociality;

   Abstract : Better health services are a basic human right of approximately 40 million people in Tanzania, calling for an improved architecture of Health Care Facilities (HCFs) so as to provide a healing health care environment that supports wellness as well as diagnosis and treatment. Healing design concepts of medical and architectural researchers are in line with life styles, contemporary architectural styles and social cultural systems in the western world, while in Tanzania, although cultural heritage is emphasized as the backbone of sustainable development, very little effort has been made to incorporate cultural elements and vernacular architecture into contemporary HCF designs.

4. 2. Healing Architecture: Evidence, Intuition, Dialogue

   Author : Stefan Lundin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; EBD; intuition; critical approach; best practice; design dialogue; tacit knowledge; healing architecture; Design research in architecture; evidence-based design;

   Abstract : In today’s healthcare architecture there is a striving to make better use of evidence to achieve environments that can contribute to patients’ healing, recovery, and well-being. These ideas are in part a legacy of the theory and practice of evidence-based medicine and the success it has enjoyed in its field. READ MORE

5. 3. The visible patient. Hybridity and inpatient ward design in a Namibian context

   Author : Catharina Nord; KTH; []
   Keywords : architectural theory; hospital design; healthcare building design; inpatient ward design; hybridity; embodiment; illness and disease; illness experience; patient-focused design; patient-centred design; healing environment; therapeutic environment; gl; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Even if one is confident that the staff provide the bestpossible treatment, being admitted into hospital is still astressful situation. In recent decades, architecturalresearchers have elaborated on aspects of the patient'sperspective where the design of the physical environment maypositively enhance the healing experience.

   Keywords : wound healing; non-healing wounds; L. reuteri; macrophages; wound assessment; Fysiologi; Physiology;

   Abstract : Non-healing wounds is a growing medical problem, often associated with pathological conditions such as diabetes and peripheral ischemia. A non-healing wound entails a large amount of suffering for the patient, and demands extensive health care resources. READ MORE

7. 5. Effects of Environment on Charge Recombination in Organo-Metal-Halide Perovskite Observed by Photoluminescence Microscopy and Spectroscopy

   Author : Jun Li; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environment; photoluminescence microscopy and spectroscopy; organo-metal-halide perovskite; charge recombination;

   Abstract : Organo-metal-halide (OMH) perovskites form a new class of materials withperovskite crystal structure ABX3 where A is an organic molecule, B is lead (Pb)and X is a halide atom (I or Br). OMH perovskite semiconductors have been widely used in photovoltaics due to their very strong absorption of sun light, very suitable electrical properties, and the ease of preparation. READ MORE
