No need to be rebellious: placemaking and value co-creation in the skateboarding City of Malmö.

During the last 20 years, Malmö has developed into an internationally recognised skateboarding destination and a valued skateboarding place for local and regional skaters. In contrast to many cities, skateboarding and skateboarders have been appreciated and embraced in public planning and development. The aim of the paper is to discuss the development and identity of Malmö as a skateboarding city through the lens of the concepts of placemaking and value co-creation, and-not least-through the narratives of six persons with different relations to skateboarding and Malmö.

Shared Features Underlying Compact Genomes and Extreme Habitat Use in Chironomid Midges.

Nonbiting midges (family Chironomidae) are found throughout the world in a diverse array of aquatic and terrestrial habitats, can often tolerate harsh conditions such as hypoxia or desiccation, and have consistently compact genomes. Yet we know little about the shared molecular basis for these attributes and how they have evolved across the family. Here, we address these questions by first creating high-quality, annotated reference assemblies for Tanytarsus gracilentus (subfamily Chironominae, tribe Tanytarsini) and Parochlus steinenii (subfamily Podonominae).

Methods: Using a heterogeneous multicenter study sample (n = 1551), we examined validity, reliability, and dimensionality of the PO-Bado SF. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Distress Thermometer, the Questionnaire on Stress in Cancer, and the Patient Health Questionnaire were used to investigate convergent validity.

[Patient satisfaction in oncological aftercare--differential results of gender aspects in doctor-patient dyads].

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the role of gender of the physician and gender of the patient in explaining differences in patient satisfaction.

Material And Methods: Overall, 1,130 patients were assigned to one of 4 possible physician-patient sex dyads and were interviewed with a questionnaire about their patient satisfaction.

Results: Female patients in a dyad with a female physician were most satisfied with the overall judgment of practice visit and the inclusion of life situation in comparison to all other dyads.

The effect of including a 'psychooncological statement' in the discharge summary on patient-physician communication: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine whether the inclusion of a 'psychooncological statement' (PO-statement) in the discharge summary enhances patient-physician communication about psychosocial issues across the inpatient and outpatient sector.

Methods: A total of 1416 cancer patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (with PO-statement in the discharge summary) or control group (discharge summary without PO-statement). Shortly before discharge from the hospital (T1), patients from the intervention group were screened for psychosocial distress.

Background: To investigate the prognostic value of several psychosocial factors for long-term survival in cancer patients.

Material And Methods: Baseline data were gathered in routine radiotherapy practice during 44 months. The analysis is based on 938 patients for whom follow-up data were available.

Determinants of long-term response to group therapy for dysfunctional fear of progression in chronic diseases.

Prior work demonstrated that cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and supportive-experiential (SET) group interventions can reduce dysfunctional fear of progression (FoP) in patients with chronic diseases. In this secondary analysis of a randomized controlled study, we investigated determinants of long-term response to group therapy for FoP. Response to therapy after 12 months was assessed using the Reliable Change Index (RCI).

[Fear of progression in chronic diseases].

Chronically physically ill patients frequently suffer from psychological distress. The realistic fear of progression (FOP) of disease is one of the most important causes of distress in these patients. This study investigates the extent of FOP in patients with diverse diagnoses.

Routine psychosocial distress screening in radiotherapy: implementation and evaluation of a computerised procedure.

Background: To implement distress screening in routine radiotherapy practice and to compare computerised and paper-and-pencil screening in terms of acceptability and utility.

Methods: We used the Stress Index RadioOncology (SIRO) for screening. In phase 1, 177 patients answered both a computerised and a paper version, and in phase 2, 273 patients filled out either the computerised or the paper assessment.

Distress screening in oncology-evaluation of the Questionnaire on Distress in Cancer Patients-short form (QSC-R10) in a German sample.
