2. 1. The role of implementation science in healthcare improvement efforts : investigating three complex interventions

   Author : Anna Westerlund; Monica Nyström; Anneli Ivarsson; Rickard Garvare; Eva Eurenius; Johan Thor; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; healthcare improvement; knowledge-practice gap; implementation science; complex interventions; implementation strategy; change facilitation; case studies; folkhälsa; Public health; hälso- och sjukvårdsforskning; health services research;

   Abstract : For decades, scholars have found significant gaps between the knowledge available and the knowledge applied in healthcare. Many potential benefits of adequate knowledge based interventions are therefore never achieved. A considerable body of knowledge has evolved on how to promote a better uptake of evidence-based knowledge into routine use. READ MORE

4. 2. The activation and regulation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells in SLE : and possible therapeutic interventions

   Author : Karin Hjorton; Lars Rönnblom; Maija-Leena Eloranta; Hans Carlsten; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SLE; pDCs; NK cells; interferon; autoantibodies; immune complex; hydroxychloroquine; IRAK4 inhibition;

   Abstract : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the presence of anti-nuclear antibodies and the formation of nucleic acid containing immune complexes (ICs), which can cause organ damage by deposition in tissues. ICs strongly trigger the plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) to produce interferon (IFN)-α, which potently activates the immune system. READ MORE

5. 3. Devising Capabilities : Service Design for Development Interventions

   Author : Fiona Lambe; Stefan Holmlid; Matthew Osborne; Alison Prendiville; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Service design; Capabilities approach; Development interventions; Global South; Complexity;

   Abstract : Despite the progress in recent decades, one in ten people globally still live in extreme poverty, and this number is set to increase in the coming years. Designing interventions to improve well-being and livelihoods is challenging because poverty is multidimensional and plays out in complex, adaptive social-ecological systems, where behaviours and practices at the local level can have unintended consequences elsewhere in the system.

6. 4. Driving it home! Exploring and enhancing the adoption of eco-driving

   Author : Helena Strömberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pro-environmental behaviour; exploratory approach; behaviour change; interventions; eco-driving;

   Abstract : One strategy to reduce the environmental impact of the transport sector is to increase the adoption of eco-driving among both professional and private drivers. Attempts to introduce eco-driving have though had varying success, and many questions remain to be answered. READ MORE

7. 5. Adoption of quality management in SMEs

   Author : Marcus Assarlind; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; adoption process; SMEs; lean production; literature review; six sigma; implementation; continuous improvement; interventions; Quality management;

   Abstract : Since its dawn several decades ago, quality management (QM) has become established as a concept for improving organisations. It is often manifested in companies today in various initiatives, such as “lean”, “Six Sigma” or “the Company Production System”. However, adoptions of QM are scarce in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). READ MORE
