In this 2009 article, we present details of the first year work of the INKE (Implementing New Knowledge Environments) research group, a large international, interdisciplinary research team studying reading and texts, both digital and printed. The INKE team is comprised of researchers and stakeholders at the forefronts of fields relating to textual studies, user experience, interface design, and information management. We aim to contribute to the development of new digital information and knowledge environments that build on past textual practices. We discuss our research questions, methods, aims and research objectives, the rationale behind our work and its expected significance—specifically as it pertains to our first year goals of laying a research foundation for this endeavour.

Insight Into

Background: This article examines Implementing New Knowledge Environments’ (INKE) experiences as a mature, large-scale collaboration working with academic and non-academic partners and provides some insight into best practices. It looks at the sixth year of funded research.Analysis: The study uses semi-structured interviews with questions focused on the nature of collaboration with selected members of the INKE research team. Data analysis employs a grounded theory approach.Conclusion and implication: The interviewees found the experience of collaborating within INKE to be positive with some ongoing challenges. The team is winding down as it moves into the final year of funded research. This suggests an arc of collaboration, with intensity of collaboration building from the first year to the most intensive time in the middle years and then winding down in the last years of grant funding. This article contributes to those lessons about collaboration by exploring the lived experience of a long-term, large-scale research project.

Do So

As the whole world struggles with the appearance of a large-scale pandemic, individuals and institutions begin to cope with the perspective of both short and long-term changes to their plans. What had been planned out by many during January and February of 2020, no longer became feasible already during the following months. Thus, with the impossibility of knowing for how long this situation will persist, both individuals and institutions have changed their plans with a focus on when the situation will reverse to a degree of normalcy. This article aims to briefly understand and analyses the strategies centered around a Swedish football club founded by Kurdish individuals regarded to the consequences of the coronavirus crisis in the country. Both fans and employees at the club have changed their strategies regarding the first year they would be playing in their new hometown of Uppsala. The author will argue that, although, the crisis has changed their strategy and hampered their plans of becoming a local institution, it has not, in fact, changed their plans to be an integrated part of the city, but it has provided the club with newer opportunities to do so.

Use of project teams is increasing, however little is known about collaboration as it actually occurs over the life of projects. This paper explores the nature of collaboration within Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) after three years of funded research. The third year is characterized by change and transition with new team members, partners, and sub-research areas. INKE continues to draw upon structures and processes, including team building activities, in-person meetings, multiple communication channels, evolving governance documents to support the collaboration, and incorporating collaboration-ready individuals.  The paper concludes with recommendations for similar long term, large-scale project teams.

The Relationship

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to coordinate the different stages involved in designing a “CSR approach” in order to visualize and analyze micro-contradictions occurring between players in a multidisciplinary team.Design/methodology/approachThis intervention research project was spread over three years and conducted within an establishment for dependent elderly people (EDE).FindingsThis research extends Engeström's work to highlight the micro-contradictions identified and their nature. These micro-contradictions are reduced and investigated through mediator artifacts incorporating new knowledge.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitation of the research study is that the authors were unable to completely validate Engeström's model, including the notion of instrument. The actors involved all belong to the same organization and use the same tools. This study would be worth repeating with a project team featuring actors from different organizations in order to grasp the concept of instruments used by individual actors.Practical implicationsOn the managerial front, the authors draw managers' attention to the importance of collaborative construction of management tools, which can improve the governance of their organizations.Originality/valueThe originality of this paper is based on the opportunity for the long-term analysis of the relationship between potential disturbances and the generation of new knowledge during collaborative work involving a multidisciplinary team. This study is useful for this type of establishment, especially within the context of the current health crisis.

Over Time

Introduction of solid foods is a fundamental step in the development of an individual. There are many implications that weaning contains not only on a nutritional plan, but also on the contingent and long-term health of an individual. Over time this nutritional passage has evolved through the acquisition of new knowledge about maturation of anatomical and neurosensory structures involved in all the phases of such a complex process. The understanding of a maturing taste of infant and cultural changes is another key to understand the evolution of introduction of solid foods in infants. What is contained in this text encapsulates thus the evolutionary path of weaning in recent years, showing current trends in the light of cultural changes and new scientific acquisitions.

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a high risk of stroke and mortality. Some years ago, the EURObservational Research Programme launched the General Long-Term Registry with the aim to evaluate contemporary management of AF patients in Europe, the current use of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and other AF treatments, in relation to guideline recommendations. Purpose The present report aims to describe the characteristics of a large database on the management of AF in Spain, using the Spanish cohort included in the EORP-AF Long-Term Registry. Methods The EORP-AF Long-Term General Registry is a prospective, observational, large-scale multicentre registry sponsored and conducted by the ESC, enrolling AF patients in current cardiology practices in 250 centres from 27 participating ESC countries. Patients were enrolled consecutively when presenting with AF as primary or secondary diagnosis to inpatients and outpatient cardiology services from October 2013 to September 2016. The first Spanish patient in the EORP-AF Long-Term Registry was included in 2014. Initially, the aim was to carry out a follow-up up to 3 years but this was reduced to 2 years by the Executive Committee. To date, only data from the first year of follow-up is available for the Spanish cohort. Results A cohort of 729 AF Spanish patients was included (57.1% male, median age 75 [IQR 67–81] years, median CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED of 3 [IQR 2–5] and 2 [IQR 1–2], respectively). A relatively low proportion of patients (634, 87%) received oral anticoagulants (OACs), of which 389 (53.4%) were on VKAs and 245 (33.6%) were on DOACs (rate ratio = 1.59 [95% CI 1.35–1.87], p<0.001). Importantly, there were 98 (13.4%) patients taking concomitantly antiplatelet therapy and OACs; as well as 5.5% of patients were taking parenteral anticoagulation or antiplatelets alone. After 1 year, the proportion of patients on OACs increased from 87.0% to 88.1%. The proportion of DOACs users increased from 33.6% at baseline to 39.9%, partly due to switches from VKA to DOACs in relation to poor time in therapeutic range. At the same time, 34 (4.7%) patients withdrew OACs. During the first year of follow-up, 48 patients (6.6%) died, 7 (1.0%) suffered ischemic strokes and 6 (0.8%) transient ischemic attacks. Of note, there was a substantial rate of major bleeds (ISTH criteria) (57, 7.8%), of which 10 (1.4%) were intracranial haemorrhages. Conclusions Baseline data of the Spanish cohort are similar to that reported for the whole EORP cohort, including similar stroke and bleeding risks. OAC use slightly increased at 1-year, with low discontinuation rates which could be related with a low incidence of thromboembolic events. However, despite the ∼8% rate of major bleeding in overall, the use of a safer therapy such as DOACs is still low compared to VKAs, being the antiplatelets commonly used concomitantly with OACs Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: Private grant(s) and/or Sponsorship. Main funding source(s): Unconditional grant by Boehringer-Ingelheim
