Kunnskapsgrunnlaget om effekten av kommunikasjonstrening for å bedre livskvalitet for personer med demens er mangelfull
Det er ikke nok forskning av god metodisk kvalitet for å si om kommunikasjonstrening bedrer livskvalitet for personer med demens. Det viser en systematisk oversikt fra 2021.publishedVersio
Human health risks from dampness combined with fungi, any other microbiological contamination, and moisture-dependent pests in the indoor environment. A protocol for an interactive evidence and gap map, an overview of systematic reviews and systematic reviews
Muggsopp forekommer i varierende omfang både inne og ute. Fuktproblemer og vekst av muggsopp innendørs er beskrevet å være assosiert med uønskede helsekonsekvenser som allergi og luftveislidelser slik som forverring av eksisterende astma, hoste, piping i brystet, luftveisinfeksjoner, bronkitt, allergisk rhinitt og eksem hos beboere. Det er også antydet en mulig kobling mellom muggsoppeksponering tidlig i livet og utvikling av astma, spesielt blant sårbare grupper. Fuktproblemer i boliger kan øke forekomst av enkelte fuktkrevende skadedyr i innemiljøer selv om de fleste innendørs skadedyr også trives i tørre miljøer. Vi skal utarbeide et interaktivt forskningskart som er en systematisk og visuell presentasjon av tilgjengelig forskning om helserisiko knyttet til fuktproblemer og muggsopp, annen mikrobiologisk fourensning) og fuktkrevende skadedyr i innemiljøer. Vi skal utarbeide en oversikt over de nyere systematiske oversiktene av høy og moderat kvalitet som vi finner i forskningskartet. Vi skal så utarbeide systematiske oversikter om helseeffekter av de mest vanlige muggsopp knyttet til fuktproblemer og fuktkrevende skadedyr som ikke allerede er oppsummert, vi henter studiene fra forskningskartet. Vi skal utføre litteratursøk i 5 Databaser. Utvelgelse basert på tittel og sammendrag og vurdering av fulltekst i henhold til inklusjons og eksklusjonskriterier, datainnhenting fra publikasjonene, kvalitetsvurdering av systematiske oversikter og vurdering av risiko for systematiske skjevheter i studier som vi inkluderer skal utføres av to personer uavhengig av hverandre. Tillit til effektestimater vurderes ved GRADE-metoden.publishedVersio

Exploring health equity in Lesotho’s Child Grants Programme
Despite their growing popularity, little is known about how cash transfers (CTs) can affect health equity in targeted communities. Lesotho’s Child Grants Programme (CGP) is an unconditional CT targeting poor and vulnerable households with children. Started in 2009, the CGP is one of Lesotho’s key programmes in developing the country’s social protection system. Using the CGP’s early phases as a case study, this research aims to capture how programme stakeholders understood and operationalized the concept of health equity in Lesotho’s CGP. The qualitative analysis relied on the triangulation of findings from a desk review and semi-structured key informant interviews with programme stakeholders. The programme documents were coded deductively and the interview transcripts inductively. Both materials were analysed thematically before triangulating their findings. We explored determining factors for differences or disagreements within a theme according to the programme’s chronology, the stakeholders’ affiliations and their role(s) in the CGP. The definitions of health equity in the context of the CGP reflected an awareness among stakeholders of these issues and their determinants but also the challenges raised by the complex (or even debated) nature of the concept. The most common definition of this concept focused on children’s access to health services for the most disadvantaged households, suggesting a narrow, targeted approach to health equity as targeting disadvantages. Yet, even the most common definition of this concept was not fully translated into the programme, especially in the day-to-day operations and reporting at the local level. This operationalization gap affected the study of selected health spillover effects of the CGP on health equity and might have undermined other programme impacts related to specific health disadvantages or gaps. As equity objectives become more prominent in CTs, understanding their meaning and translation into concrete, observable and measurable applications in programmes are essential to support impact.publishedVersio

Design of multi-luminescent silica-based nanoparticles for the detection of liquid organic compounds
Tracer testing in reservoir formations is utilised to determine residual oil saturation as part of optimum hydrocarbon production. Here, we present a novel detection method of liquid organic compounds by monodisperse SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) containing two luminophores, a EuIII:EDTA complex and a newly synthesised fluorophore based on the organic boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-moiety. The particles exhibited stable EuIII PL emission intensity with a long lifetime in aqueous dispersion. The fluorescence of the BODIPY was also preserved in the aqueous environment. The ratiometric PL detection technique was demonstrated by using toluene and 1-octanol as model compounds of crude oil. The optimal synthesis conditions were found to give NPs with a diameter of ~100 nm, which is suitable for transport through porous oil reservoir structures. The cytotoxicity of the NPs was confirmed to be very low for human lung cell and fish cell lines. These findings demonstrate the potential of the NPs to replace the hazardous chemicals used to estimate the residual oil saturation. Moreover, the ratiometric PL detection technique is anticipated to be of benefit in other fields, such as biotechnology, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring, where a reliable and safe detection of a liquid organic phase is needed.Design of multi-luminescent silica-based nanoparticles for the detection of liquid organic compoundsacceptedVersio
