Every day there are 22 to 33 medical incidents, and the frequency of these incidents is increasing due to an ageing population. Conducting emergency treatment in- flight is hard because of the limitations of space and equipment. This is a concept for an emergency medical kit that meets the needs to operate in these incidents and therefore improves the prerequisites in life and death situations.” Nils-Johan Eriksson Finland Industrial Design Project: ”A design approach to medical equipment in commercial aviation” Winner of ”Idesignpriset" 2009.

  • Research Network Social Epidemiology, Population Health and Violence (SEPHV)
    Research Network Social Epidemiology, Population Health and Violence (SEPHV) Research Network Description The SEPHV The research network (group) Social Epidemiology, Population Health and Violence (SEPHV) aims at advancing research on the determinants of health inequalities and determinants of interpersonal violence globally. In addition it aims to promote research on interventions and policies to eliminate those inequalities (especially inequities). The network rely on different disciplines and methodologies such as Medicine, Epidemiology, Social Medicine, Statistics, Demography, Psychology, Nursing, Ethnology, Anthropology, Sociology and Political Science. The group’s main goal is to increase understanding of the determinants of population health and health inequalities in developed and developing countries (low and middle income) which operate at multiple levels and promote effective action to improve overall population health. In addition, the group also investigates the impact of societal factors on interpersonal violence throughout the life span in developed and developing countries as well as violence across specific groups (e.g.homeless) and promote intervention research aimed at reducing violence, abuse and neglect. Current Research Projects A. Socio-Epidemiological Studies of Interpersonal Violence There has been a long history in sociology of viewing social and economic conditions as general determinants of violence behaviour but recently epidemiologists have come to view socioeconomic factors as explanatory variables contributing to causations for violence instead of only use them as controlling variables. The SEPHV group is interested in understanding the mechanisms through which upstream determinants are related to victimization as well as physical and psychological health outcomes. We use data from European countries and middle and low-income countries to investigate the role of socioeconomic status, context, and neighbourhood deprivation on victimization and health outcomes across life span (childhood, adulthood and among elderly).

  • Thoughts on What Malmö University Could Be
    Knowledge for Change John A. Douglass University of California, Berkeley A Vibrant Urban University with a Growing Global Presence: Thoughts on What Malmö University Could Be. Knowledge for Change lecture series #1 Malmö University September 14, 2017 Editors: Tapio Salonen & Hans Lindquist Published: Malmö 2018 A Vibrant Urban University with a Growing Global Presence Thoughts on What Malmö University Could Be Malmö University - Knowledge for Change Paper John Aubrey Douglass Senior Research Fellow – Public Policy and Higher Education Center for Studies in Higher Education Goldman School of Public Policy UC Berkeley It is a malady of the modern age for universities. The forces of globalization and a campaign by various international university ranking enterprises place too much emphasis on a narrow model of what the best universities should be. One result: the notion of a “World Class University” (WCU) and the focus on its close relative, global rankings of universities, dominates the higher education policymaking of ministries and major universities throughout the globe. Why the attention almost exclusively on research productivity and a few key markers of prestige, like Nobel Laureates? One major reason is that globally retrievable citation indexes (also a relatively new phenomenon) and information on research income are now readily available and not subject to the labor intensive, and sometimes dubious, efforts Table 1: The New and the Old – Public Universities in Sweden to request and get data from Est as a Research individual institutions.
