Objectives: To develop a sustainable and accessible educational programme on biopsychosocial female-specific topics, for young female athletes in organised sport, their parents and coaches for future testing and evaluation in a full-scale intervention study.

Methods: A digital educational programme, along with its methodology, was developed in four steps: First, content validity of female-specific topics was identified through (a) literature reviews by an interdisciplinary research team and (b) an online survey of 1323 female athletes (aged 16–24 years) assessing perceived knowledge and knowledge needs regarding biopsychosocial topics. Second, film scripts based on identified topics were written, internally reviewed and evaluated by a pilot group of six 13–16-year-old female athletes. Third, online surveys assessing main and secondary outcomes were developed and tested in the pilot group. Finally, digital format and production were developed collaboratively with a film scholar and film technicians.

Results: The intervention development yielded 12 videos of 5–7 min, featuring sports science researchers and female elite athletes sharing their perspectives on biopsychosocial topics specific to women. The protocol development produced a quasi-experimental, modified staircase cluster trial design, including bi-weekly assessment of main (ie, well-being and sporting experiences) and secondary outcomes (eg, perceived support) at baseline, pre-, post-intervention and post-post follow-up.

Conclusion: This study outlines the development of a digital educational intervention for young female athletes, their parents and coaches, emphasising that interdisciplinary collaboration and user engagement are key to identifying intervention components and relevant outcomes.

Most sports science research revolves around male subjects. As a result, most of the knowledge and practices within sports are male-centric. Failing to take the biological, psychological and social (biopsychosocial) particularities of females into account is believed to hinder optimal sports participation, development and performance, with potential negative effects on the health and well-being of females. To close the knowledge gap and alleviate these issues, we aim to develop and evaluate a 12-video educational intervention that addresses female-specific subject matter: the FIDES Athlete Development Programme. The study is designed as an embedded multiple case study where at least 1320 Swedish female athletes aged 13-16 will participate, in addition to their parents and their coaches. The girls will be recruited through their sports clubs, with half being exposed to the FIDES Athlete Development Programme and the other half serving as control cases. The primary outcomes are well-being and sporting experience. To further increase our understanding of the intervention and its implications, interviews and focus group interviews with a reference group of girls and focus group interviews with a randomly selected subsample of coaches and parents will also be performed. The project is approved by the Swedish ethics committee (number: 2023-05264-01) and will be carried out in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Results from the project will be published open access in peer-reviewed journals, at national and international conferences, in mass media, and a PhD thesis. The anonymised data will be made openly available in a data repository.

För att möta dagens och morgondagens samhällsutmaningar krävs kunskap ur ett bredare och större perspektiv. På Linnéuniversitetet samlar vi därför framstående forskning, utbildning och samverkan i något vi kallar kunskapsmiljöer. Våra kunskapsmiljöer är tvärvetenskapliga för att ta ett mångsidigt grepp om utmaningarna.

Inom kunskapsmiljön Hållbar hälsa arbetar vi för att främja hälsa och välbefinnande för alla människor i alla åldrar. Några av de utmaningar som vi tar oss an är:

·        Demografiska förändringar

·        Ändrade mönster för funktionshinder och sjukdomar

·        Traumatiska händelser 

·        Brist på delaktighet 

·        Organisatoriska utmaningar

Men med en åldrande befolkning och fler personer som lever länge med kroniska sjukdomar både ökar och förändras vårdbehoven samtidigt. Dessa faktorer, tillsammans med ökad migration, globalisering samt förändrade behov av hälsovård, är de demografiska utmaningar vi behöver inrikta oss mot. De förändringar i livsstilar som vi ser idag, till exempel näringsbrist på grund av mindre hälsosamma matvanor och en ökande psykisk ohälsa måste också adresseras. 

Den digitala utvecklingen ger oss helt nya möjligheter till en mer effektiv global hälsovård. Men även här finns utmaningar; ökad digitalisering kan leda till att människor stängs ute på grund av att de saknar kompetens eller den digitala utrustningen som krävs.

För att svara upp mot dessa utmaningar arbetar vi inom kunskapsmiljön brett med forskning, utbildning och samverkan inom en rad olika forskningsområden såsom:

·        e-Hälsa 

·        Palliativ vård 

·        Livsmedelsvetenskap

·        Ögon, syn och optometri

·        Humaniora, hälsa och medicin

·        Åldrande och handikapp

Vanligtvis kommunicerar vi i kunskapsmiljön vår forskning genom artiklar i vetenskapliga tidskrifter, på konferenser eller genom pressmeddelande till media. Denna bok tar ett annorlunda grepp och använder konstens metoder för att illustrera kunskapsmiljöns arbete. Boken har kommit till genom ett samarbete med Det kulturella universitetet som arbetar med att koppla samman konst och vetenskap för en fördjupad förståelse av komplex komplexa och ibland motsägelsefulla förhållanden

This article addresses border crossings in the 1970s related to sexual commerce,in particular in the small community of Hälle, located near the Sweden–Norwayborder at Svinesund and European route E6. As the legal situation with regardto pornography differed in Norway and Sweden, Swedish legislation being moreliberal, Norwegians travelled to Sweden to both buy and to consume on-sitesexually explicit material and entertainment. By choosing this perspective, thearticle shifts focus away from the sexually explicit material itself, towards thespaces in which it can be found, and reflects upon consumption of such materialas a literally transgressive, non-normative sexual behavior.

This article discusses a few points often brought up in relation to a ‘golden age of porn’, namely the issue of quality and of art versus money. Using the example of Inge Ivarson, a film producer in Sweden who, from the late 1960s and on, was a prolific producer of sexually explicit films, the article argues that his production of literary adaptations, directed by Mac Ahlberg, can be seen as a kind of quality porn.
