Mødeaktiviteten er allerede høj for de medlemmer af arbejdsmiljøudvalg, samarbejdsudvalg, institutråd og forskningsudvalg, som har taget fat på arbejdet i de fire arbejdsgrupper, der arbejder med at udvikle gode modeller for implementering af sektionsledelse på IMT. De bagvedliggende materialer er tilgængelige for alle i det TeamsSharepoint-rum, der hedder IMT sektionsledelse.

 

VIP- tillidsrepræsentanterne faciliteter møderne i arbejdsgruppe 1 og 2, som beskæftiger sig med hhv. principper for sektionsinddeling og størrelse samt funktioner og snitflader til anden type af ledelse. Arbejdsgruppe 3 arbejder med kriterier og proces for udpegning af sektionsledere. Gruppen udgøres af tillidsrepræsentanter og arbejdsmiljørepræsentant på VIP-siden og ledelsen.

 

Endelig arbejder gruppe 4 med, hvilken administrativ understøttelse, der bliver behov for, når vi implementerer sektionsledelse. Grupperne arbejder forskudt af hinanden, men allerede den 3. april skal arbejdsgruppe 1 og 2 på et plenarmøde for de fire råd/udvalg præsentere foreløbige modeller til kommentering og kvalificering. Sidenhen vil de også blive præsenteret på personalemøde.

 

Den mest direkte måde at få indsigt i processen, er ved selv at kigge her...

 

Men den bedste måde at få indsigt i processen, er måske ved at tale med sin forskningsgruppeleder, sin tillidsrepræsentant, sin arbejdsmiljørepræsentant eller et medlem af institutrådet.

 

De indledende knæbøjninger er i fuld gang, når vi taler om lønforhandlingen 2024. På grund af tilpasningsrunde i foråret 2023, var der på RUC enighed om at springe 2023 over. Det vil sige, at der nu forhandles løn for både 2022 og 2023 i én stor runde.

 

Der er allerede gået mange mails ud i den anledning, og det korte af det lange er, at man kan fremsætte ønsker til lønforbedring på flere forskellige måder. Man kan fremsende ønsker til sin tillidsrepræsentant, men man kan også anmode sin leder om en lønsamtale og fremsende ønsker til lønforbedring via det dertil indrettede skema.

 

Det allervigtigste procesbudskab er dog, at:

Special- og chefkonsulenter samt professorer og eksterne lektorer har ret til selv at forhandle løn. Alle andre bliver forhandlet af tillidsrepræsentanterne, som imidlertid også godt kan forhandle på vegne af dem, der har ret til selv at forhandle, hvis det ønskes.

 

På IMT er det kun mig, der kan indgå og underskrive bindende aftaler om projekter. Hvis du ikke har fået min underskrift, har du ikke fået et husningstilsagn, hvilket ellers kan være en ret god idé at få på plads.

 

 

For de fleste på IMT føles det formentlig som lang tid siden, at der kom et link i indbakken til besvarelse af spørgeskema knyttet til arbejdspladsvurdering (den såkaldte APV). IMT’s APV for 2022 var ikke rosenrød, så der blev også søsat et samarbejdsprojekt, hvor eksterne konsulenter blev inddraget.

 

Imidlertid strandede arbejdet med opfølgning på APV midt i 2023, da Andreas de Neergaard fik nyt job på Københavns Universitet. Med voldsom forsinkelse har arbejdsmiljøudvalget og samarbejdsudvalget nu færdiggjort IMT’s APV handleplan, som er blevet præsenteret på personalemøde og delt med den centrale arbejdsmiljøorganisation på RUC.

 

APV handleplanen adresserer seks forskellige temaer:

Under hvert tema har udvalgene identificeret en række konkrete handlinger, som vi skal følge op på i vores fortløbende arbejdsmiljøarbejde. Jeg er glad for planen, fordi den er et samlet udtryk for, hvilke forbedringer et flertal af medarbejdere på IMT forventer at se indfinde sig indenfor det næste år til halvandet. Tak til alle, der har bidraget i processen.

 

I marts har vi kørt kampagne for korrekt registrering af sygdom. Roskilde Universitet anvender systemet ProMark, der blev gennemgået skridt for skridt af HR ved sidste personalemøde. Feinschmeckere, som gerne vil vide hvordan man registrerer en halv dags sygdom eller fravær af to årsager på samme dag, kan gå i dybden her...

 

For de fleste vil det være nok at vide:  

 

Med ønsket om forårssol og fravær af forkølelse til alle!

Mange gode hilsner

Bjarke

 

I skrivende stund har jeg været på IMT i seks uger. Der er allerede sket meget, og alligevel har jeg ikke helt kunne bruge min tid på det, jeg havde regnet med en startperiode skulle bruges på. Jeg har eksempelvis til gode at se, hvor IMT holder til på RUC udover bygning 2 – og møde stort set alle andre end IMT-sekretariatet.

 

Det er nemlig her mit fokus har været i den første periode. Som I kan læse andetsteds i nyhedsbrevet, er der lavet en handleplan som følge af Arbejdspladsvurderingen (APV) fra 2022, og den dikterer en række indsatser, som gerne skulle øge trivslen i IMT-sekretariatet (TAP-gruppen, IMT-administrationen, kært barn..).

 

Mens vi lærer hinanden at kende i sekretariatet, er jeg ved at få overblik over opgaver, kompetencer og ressourcer, arbejdsgange og meget andet. Derudover er vi i gang med at rekruttere nye kollegaer til vakante stillinger. Det er tiltrængt at få bemandet de tomme poster.

 

Vi håber at få en række nye kollegaer til forskningsstøtteenheden og til økonomifunktionen inden foråret er omme. Vi flytter desuden rundt på opgaverne. Carsten kommer til at mangle en kollega i økonomi, da Karina Larsen udelukkende skal varetage funktion som projektkoordinator i forskningsstøtteenhede.

 

Den 2. april starter Ida Holst Nielsen som styringsansvarlig og ledelseskonsulent. Hun får ansvar for instituttets allokering og skal både varetage de halvårlige allokeringsprocesser og udvikle værktøjer og arbejdsgange relateret til allokering. Jeg regner med, at Ida kommer rundt og møder de mest relevante samarbejdspartnere på instituttet i april og maj.

 

Derudover er der rigtig meget, der haster, og det er umuligt at nå det hele med det samme, så lige nu prioriterer jeg temmelig kraftigt i opgaverne. Det er vist et lod, jeg deler med mange på instituttet, og det er kun relevant at nævne, fordi det betyder, at jeg må være længere tid om at nå rundt og sige hej, end jeg havde håbet og forventet.

 

Jeg glæder mig til at møde jer alle i forskellige sammenhænge
– forhåbentlig inden sommerferien.

 

Bedste hilsner

Omsorg betyder at orientere sig mod et andet menneskes behov, og der er bred enighed om, at 0-6-årige børns omsorgserfaringer er afgørende for deres trivsel og udvikling. Orienteringen mod omsorgsopgaver udgør da også kernen i mange pædagogers fagidentitet, men ikke desto mindre peger aktuelle undersøgelser på, at personalet i mange vuggestuer langtfra altid indgår i et sensitivt og opmærksomt samspil med børnene. Måske har de for mange andre opgaver, måske er der for dårlige normeringer (”for få hænder”), og måske er de ikke klædt godt nok på til omsorgsopgaven.

 

 

EU Horizon CL5 awards the project AI-informed Holistic EVs integration Approaches for Distribution grids (AHEAD).  

 

The Danish WP on Society Impact is led by Thomas Skou Grindsted. 2024-2029 (6 years) DKK 2.700 000  

 

As part of the project MOSPUS research the Society Impact of EV charging infrastructure. being implemented in cities. Implementing EV (Electric Vehicle) charging stations effectively requires careful consideration of location-based strategies. The EV infrastructure foster path dependencies and dependent on specific locations both affect other means of transportation and sustainable mobility patterns. Little research exists on consumer/prosumer integration with location-based strategies. Accessibility is a key to convenience, consumer satisfaction along the value chain. Some areas have a higher acceptance of charging e.g., in peak and off-peak periods than others, why prosumer integration is also place dependent and may generate more traffic in the vicinity of the charging infrastructures. Thus, we examine different location-based strategies and their society impact (renewable energy peaks and transportation peaks etc.). Research of consumer acceptance at the test sites allows a data driven approach on consumer acceptance and value chains to optimize EV infrastructure, so that the AI design adopt a spatial logic of consumer integration to different locational optimization logics.

Julie Bjørton, kandidat fra Geografi og Historie i juli 2023, modtog Geografiens Talentpris for sit speciale med titlen: ¡Las Cuevas Resisten! - En undersøgelse af grottebeboernes forsvar for San Miguel-bakken.

 

Specialet omhandler konflikten om San Miguel bakken, et ureguleret, autonomt område i den andalusiske by Granada, hvor der siden middelalderen er blevet udgravet grotter, som forskellige marginaliserede mennesker over tid har tilegnet sig og bosat sig i. 

 

Dette speciale omhandler konflikten om San Miguel bakken, et ureguleret, autonomt område i den andalusiske by Granada, hvor der siden middelalderen er blevet udgravet grotter, som forskellige marginaliserede mennesker over tid har tilegnet sig og bosat sig i. På trods af over 15 års ihærdige bestræbelser fra bystyret på at lukke grotterne og fordrive grottebeboerne, eksisterer stedet fortsat som et ureguleret autonomt rum. Området har således udviklet sig til at være en exceptionel case, hvor beboerne indtil videre har formået at modsætte sig de byudviklingstendenser, der præger mange vestlige byer, hvor privatisering, regulering og normalisering har indskrænket adgangen til det offentlige rum og begrænset mangfoldigheden i bylivet. Denne udvikling har også gjort sig gældende i Granada, særligt siden 1990’erne, hvor en stor del af befolkningen er fordrevet fra byens centrum, mens turistforlystelser har indtaget byens maleriske kvarterer

 

Ved at trække på litteratur om henholdsvis brugs- og ejendomsret og stedsforståelse og stedsidentitet undersøger specialet de specifikke forhold på San Miguel bakken, herunder hvordan grotteboernes stedsforståelse har bidraget til at styrke deres modstand mod kommunens planer om forandringer. Specialet identificerer fem forhold ved bakkens særegenhed og beboernes forståelse af stedet, som har haft afgørende betydning for dette forsvar:

Jeg ser meget frem til at starte i lektoratet per 1. juni. Jeg skal bidrage til forskningsgruppen med studier i sundhedspolitik, velfærdsorganisering og borgerdeltagelse ift. udsatte og psykiatri og på undervisningsfronten skal bidrage til kandidatuddannelsen i sygepleje.

 

Jeg har en baggrund i krydsfeltet mellem sundheds- og samfundsvidenskab med en ph.d.-grad i Social studies in Medicine fra SDU. Siden udviklede jeg min akademiske profil via et adjunktur og tidsbegrænset lektorat ved Center for Rusmiddelforskning ved Aarhus Universitet. De sidste 5-6 år har været ansat som lektor i psykisk helsearbeid med forsknings- og studielederansvar for bl.a. forskningsgruppen og et master-program i mental sundhed og rusmiddelindsatser ved Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge (Drammen). Desuden har jeg en honorary-affiliering ved University Essex.

 

Til daglig bor jeg i en forstad syd for Aarhus med min femårige søn. Jeg glæder mig til at bidrage til udvikling af ny tværvidenskabelig forskning og de eksisterende studietilbud i samarbejde med kolleger og ledelse ved IMT.

 

 

In February I moved from INM to IMT and started as a new associate professor in Applied Biostatistics for Clinical and Public Health. 

 

My research focuses on infectious disease epidemiology, and in particular historical epidemiology and pandemics. I have a special interest in and focus on utilizing the very rich historical health records from the late 19th and early 20th century, that are currently dusting away in the various National archives. These health data provide a record of our collective historical experience with infectious diseases and can provide unique insights into epidemiological patterns and interactions such as during the 1918-20 influenza pandemic.

Besides this interest in historical epidemiology, I have also worked on more contemporary projects using health registers, like studying the epidemiology of RSV, and during the corona pandemic I worked on estimating risks of hospitalization, intensive care admission, and long-COVID related research. In the new position, I will strengthen the quantitative education at the institute and continue these lines of research as well as establish new exciting avenues of exploring infectious disease impact in Denmark and internationally.

 

 

Mio Dambata will visit the Department of People and Technology from February to July. She majors in welfare society and social policy and will collaborate and be supervised by Linda Lundgaard Andersen. Mio has been interested in Danish society since she was a high school student. So she studied the Danish language and culture for four years in Japan and visited Denmark several times to study and research, so she speaks and understands Danish.

 

Mio is particularly researching social inclusion for vulnerable young people. In Japan, young people lack social security. Because of that, many young people are on the fringes of society, e.g. Futoko (who cannot go to school) and Hikikomori (who stay home without contact with society). Therefore, she will focus on how civil society creates opportunities for young people. She plans to carry out case studies in a couple of Danish NGOs and hybrid organisations related to her PhD project – and as part of Linda’s research.

 

Mio will also take part in writing seminars and PhD courses at the IMT Doctoral School.

 

med titlen "Coercion in Psychiatry: A qualitative study of socialization, normativity and relationships in the psychiatric institution" 

 

Through an ethnographic study of inpatient, psychiatric wards this dissertation takes up the discussion about coercion in psychiatry from a socialization theoretical study of the institutionalized normative reasonings for coercion between patients and professionals in psychiatric practice. The dissertation explores how patients and professionals are confronted with normative practices, and it discusses the societal embeddedness of these arrangements and implications for the subjects. More specifically, and drawing on the works of Norbert Elias and Jürgen Habermas, the dissertation explores how patients and professionals are confronted with civilizing ambitions and institutionalized rationales in situations of formal coercive measures and subtle processes of coercion. In this way, the overall aim is to gain insights into the normative dynamics connected to coercion, but not to judge coercive practices despite their ethical implications.

 

The dissertation suggests that the institutional setup and normative background of the practice distort possibilities for the patient-professional relationship to be characterized by a democratic and humanistic intersubjectivity. The dissertation argues that coercion is more than the concrete and immediate situations with formal coercion; coercion is also present, when it is absent though the potential risk of coercion and through the collectively shared previous experiences with and knowledge about coercion. It is suggested to understand coercion beyond its immediacy, as a dynamic and normative phenomenon, which guides and informs experiences and justifications, and becomes an essential part of the now. Further, it is argued how coercion also exist as processes of subtle coercion which are constituted in the communicative interactions between patients and professionals. Finally, the dissertation suggests that subtle coercion can be constituted in the patient-professional relationship as succeeding or replacing efforts which ‘successfully’ revoke a formal coercive measure.

 

It is discussed how formal coercive measures have been installed politically as well as in research as something ultimately wrong, which should be reduced or, at best abolished. A contribution of this dissertation is an argument of how these efforts have ‘black boxed’ the concept of coercion and in this endeavor, the nuances of what the phenomenon of coercion is in practice, how it works and functions between people in the everyday life, are disregarded. An implication is that only formal coercive measures can be conceptualized as something to be reduced. Coercion is an extremely paradoxical phenomenon, in that efforts to reduce coercion produce coercion. This paradox prompts a revisiting of coercion on a conceptual level in research and practice.

 

 

med titlen "Someone like me; I go after staff with good vibes: An ethnographic study of ethnically minoritized patients in Danish healthcare through an equity lens" 

 

This thesis ‘Someone like me; I go after staff with good vibes: An ethnographic study of ethnically minoritized patients in Danish healthcare through an equity lens’, examines what the social categorization of ‘ethnic minority patients’ does in healthcare. The background of the study is the persistence of health inequities for ethnically minoritized patients, which has led to an international call for advancing racial and ethnic equity in health (The Lancet, 2022).

 

Based on an ethnographic study including policy documents and fieldwork among 13 patients in two orthopedic departments in Greater Copenhagen, Denmark, the interest is to examine healthcare in the intersections between the welfare state, institutions, and encounters.

 

By theoretically drawing on post-colonialism, post-structuralism and critical feminist theory, concepts of ethnicized and ethnically minoritized are applied and the thesis actively engages with concepts such as hegemony, othering, Eurocentrism, whiteness and (structural) discrimination in a modern and universal healthcare system.

 

The findings are presented in four articles which explore the social categorization of ‘ethnic minority patients’ through welfare representations, healthcare practices, patient workings and majorized positionings. (In)visibility and silence(d) become key to understand the persistence of health inequities for ethnicized patients in Danish healthcare. By developing the concept of (over)workings, the thesis proposes a concept that captures, elucidates, and grasps productions of health inequities for patients positioned in the margins of healthcare. This thesis then contributes to making productions of ethnicity visible and unsilenced and thereby aim to advance equity-oriented and anti-discriminatory work in healthcare both in theory and practice.

 

 

med titlen "Struggles for Getting Involved: A Critical Examination of Collaborative Endeavours in Danish Health Research" 

 

”Struggles for Getting Involved – A Critical Examination of Collaborative Endeavours in Danish Health Research” is a critical sociological investigation of researchers’ and citizens’ experiences with involvement in Danish health research, while involvement is being recognised as promoting effective collaboration as a mean to govern the development of the healthcare field. Citizens’ involvement depends both on health researchers’ decisions and structural frameworks of the healthcare and academic fields. With a highly timed analysis of the participatory agenda in Danish health research, the dissertation highlights diverse mechanisms of inequality and structural conditions that often get lost in the debate valorising involvement in Denmark. The dissertation uses empirical material from the Region of Zealand in Denmark – 39 interviews with nurses, doctors who conduct research, citizens, and senior managers at funders, documents, and observations from research panels.  

 

Drawing on Bourdieu’s theories, Fricker’s concept of epistemic injustice, and Lamont’s notion of boundary work, the analysis uncovers reproductive structures for citizens’ involvement in health research. This enables a comprehensive analysis that exposes mechanisms of exclusion faced by citizens and structures casting shadows over collaborative endeavours. Researchers are pressured by navigating between the healthcare and academic fields, creating a social normativity regarding citizens’ expected competencies, revealing a lack of support, and a predominantly homogonous group of citizens. An epistemic-informed analysis highlights the dominance of biomedical perceptions of ‘credible’ knowledge where collaborative endeavours in health research get devalued based on perceptions of what credible knowledge is and who can generate it. Offering a unique analysis, this dissertation identifies challenges and opportunities for advancing an equitable participatory agenda in Danish health research.

 

 

LAU/LSU på IMT har haft besøg af teknisk chef for Campus Service, Nicolai Kaas, til en dialog om, hvordan vi håndterer støjgener fra pergolaprojektet.

 

Nicolai kunne fortælle, at det mest støjende arbejde i forbindelse med byggeprojektet nu er overstået. Oplever du stadig støj, der forstyrrer dit arbejde, opfordrer Nicolai til følgende:  

 

Står du i en akut situation med f.eks. eksamen eller undervisning, som du ikke kan gennemføre pga. støj fra pergolarenoveringen, skal du ringe til RUC’s hovednummer. Hovednummeret er 4674 2000. Her vil du blive omdirigeret til en medarbejder, der kan afhjælpe situationen. NB! Kod evt. nummeret ind i din telefon, så du ikke skal lede efter nummeret i en akut situation.

 

Vil du være på forkant med hvor og hvornår, der forventes at være særligt støjende arbejde, så kan du holde dig orienteret i RUC’s nyhedsbrev. Nyhedsbrevet udkommer hver 14. dag, og det er den officielle kanal for nyheder om, hvor der forventes at forekomme støjende byggeri i den kommende periode.

 

Har du spørgsmål til eller vil indberette gener pga. byggeriet, så kan du skrive en ticket i Serviceportalen til Campus Service via ’flisen’ ’Byggeplads’.

 

Som geograf holder jeg meget af kort. Jeg har også forståelse for ønsket om at dekorere sig kontor med kort. Desværre kolliderer dette ønske med behovet for kort til brug for undervisningen.

 

Gennem et stykke tid er der forsvundet kort fra vores kortsamling, kort der nu hænger rundt om på IMT. Således fungerer f.eks. vores eneste tilbageværende geomorfologiske kort (med landskabstyper) som dekoration på gangen i 02, fastgjort med store skruer. Det er mig uvist hvordan det er havnet dér, eller hvem (om nogen) der har givet tilladelse til ophængningen. Men det mangler til brug i undervisningen.

 

Kunne alle I kortelskere ikke forhøre Jer blandt de undervisere, der anvender kort, inden I fjerner kort fra vores kortsamling, tak!

 

Det er ikke det samme med en OH/slide med et kort, når studiet af kort i undervisningen skal kombineres med f.eks. analysespørgsmål formidlet via slides samtidig med at de studerende skal udpege områder på kortet. Har du et af de geomorfologiske kort på dit kontor, så kan du efter aftale eventuelt bytte det med et kort over den koreanske halvø (som ingen pt vist underviser i på IMT).

From January 1st 2024, the library has acquired a limited number of licenses for the Covidence software, which can be used to conduct systematic reviews. In Covidence, multiple reviewers can collaborate on the material selection for a review, making it easier to maintain an overview of the entire process. Read more...

 

The licenses are available for RUC researchers, who can get access to Covidence by contacting the library at RUBliteraturereview@kb.dk . Additionally, the library offers interested RUC researchers guidance, feedback, and support in connection with literature reviews. This includes setting up a review in Covidence, peer reviewing search strategies, or providing advice related to the PRISMA framework.

 

Further information and guidance on how to approach your literature review can be found here... Roskilde University Library also hosts EAE courses on literature reviews, systematic literature searching, and Zotero for researchers. You can find a list of courses and register here...

 

The library has now acquired access for RUC students and staff to the Orbis database, providing access to data on "large and very large companies".  The access link can be found in the library system  and on the database list.

 

With access to Orbis, it is possible to retrieve company data for large and very large companies, i.e., companies with a turnover of at least 10 million EUR, total assets of at least 20 million EUR, or more than 150 employees. The database contains data for both public and private companies, and it is possible to analyze and compare data between companies. Additionally, access is provided to ownership structures and information about individuals associated with companies.

The library acquires e-resources by subscription (databases and journals) in a fixed structure where a decision is made on incoming suggestions once a year. The e-resource portfolio is based on a collaboration between the library and RUC, where the opt-in and opt-out of e-resources are assessed.

 

Last year we made a general decision, in collaboration with RUC’s Library Committee, that new subscriptions to news sites will not be acquired, as the consequence would be termination of relevant databases with research literature. This accession policy is revisited every year.

 

The deadline for new suggestions to be included in this year's process is:  March 14, 2024.

 

Suggestions are expected to be fully processed in December 2024, with access in the beginning of 2025. Suggestions received later will be included in next year's process.

 

Requests can be submitted via the proposal form here...

 

Printed books and e-books are acquired as usual on a regular basis based on user suggestions.

 

Due to high demand, we have set up an extra course in ChatGPT and generative AI in project supervision.

Date: 24 April
Time: 13.00-15.30
Description: There have been wide discussions about the emergence of the generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT, and the implications it has on teaching, learning and exams at the university. At RUC chatbots are expected to have significant influence on the PPL practice and how students work in groups. This workshops centers on what happens to project supervision when students, and supervisors, start using ChatGPT.
