Background: Emergence delirium is a transient change in mental function and is a common complication in the postoperative period. The condition is characterized by emotional disturbances, lack of ability to think clearly, disorientation and hallucinations. Emergence delirium is associated with both suffering for the patient and a longer period of care. Method: Literature review with a qualitative approach and a descriptive design. The result is based on ten scientific qualitative original articles. All articles have been quality reviewed using SBU's (2022a) review template and the content has been analyzed through Forsberg and Wengström's (2016) content analysis. Aim: The aim was to investigate patients' experiences of postoperative confusion in hospital departments. Results: Three themes emerged in the results; the experience of being in emergence delirium, interaction with staff and environmental impact. Emotional experiences and feelings of a distorted picture of reality emerged. The environment in the care department was perceived to have a negative impact on the disease state. Suffering was a major factor that was experienced as burdensome. A minority described a positive picture of their experience. The condition made communication and interaction with healthcare staff complicated. Patients experienced obstacles in conveying their will, and healthcare professionals were therefore unable to provide the person-centred care that every patient is entitled to. Conclusion: Emergence delirium caused problems in the care of patients. The experience of a distorted picture of reality together with the emotional strain was suffering. Difficulty with communication created a disturbed interaction with healthcare staff, which led to problems in the care of patients. The nurse's way of meeting the patient in suffering contributed to the patient's experience. / Bakgrund: Akut konfusion är en övergående förändring i den mentala funktionen och är en vanlig komplikation i det postoperativa skedet. Tillståndet kännetecknas av känslomässiga störningar, bristande förmåga att tänka klart, desorientering samt hallucinationer. Akut konfusion är associerat med både lidande för patienten och en längre vårdtid. Metod: Litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ ansats och en beskrivande design. Resultatet grundar sig på tio vetenskapliga kvalitativa originalartiklar. Samtliga artiklar har kvalitetsgranskats med SBU:s (2022a) granskningsmall och innehållet har analyserats genom Forsberg och Wengströms (2016) innehållsanalys. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka patienters upplevelser av postoperativ konfusion på vårdavdelning.  Resultat: I resultatet framkom tre teman; upplevelsen att befinna sig i akut konfusion, interaktion med personal och miljöpåverkan. Det framkom emotionella upplevelser och känslor av en förvrängd verklighetsbild. Miljön på vårdavdelningen upplevdes ha en negativ inverkan på sjukdomstillståndet. Lidande var en stor faktor som upplevdes betungande. En minoritet beskrev en positiv bild av sin upplevelse. Tillståndet gjorde kommunikation och interaktion med vårdpersonal komplicerad. Patienter upplevde hinder i att förmedla sin vilja och vårdpersonal kunde därför inte ge en personcentrerad vård som varje patient har rätt till. Slutsats: Akut konfusion medförde problematik i vårdandet av patienter. Upplevelsen av en förvrängd verklighetsbild tillsammans med den emotionella påfrestningen var ett lidande. Svårighet med kommunikation skapade en störd interaktion med vårdpersonal, vilket medförde problematik i vårdandet av patienter. Sjuksköterskans sätt att möta patienten i lidande bidrog till patientens upplevelse.

Artificial brightness of the night sky caused by the backscatter of artificial light in the atmosphere is a consequence of ongoing urbanization. Skyglow covers 88 % of Europe’s surface and poses significant threats to biodiversity. Extensive research on responses of bats to direct light pollution already revealed significant impacts. However, evidence for the influence of skyglow is scarce. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of skyglow on bat activity patterns, namely Pipistrellus pygmaeus and Myotis species, in a rural area outside of Stockholm, Sweden. Additionally, the analysis includes the role of local habitat structures and landscape composition at multiple scales for both activity rate and timing of emergence.The two focal species showed diverging behaviour in their main habitat on the local scale. While Myotis spp. emergence was delayed by about half an hour above the water surface, P. pygmaeus appeared about 20 minutes earlier in forest edges under brighter night skies. Landscape-level skyglow significantly delays the emergence of Myotis spp. above water surfaces by 18 minutes, but P. pygmaeus did not respond to skyglow at the landscape-level. Both, Myotis species and P. pygmaeus, appeared earlier in forest edges than above water surfaces. Evidence on skyglow affecting bat activity rates was weak. Here, local habitat and landscape structure were more important for both species. The total length of all forest edges decreased bat activity at most scales, while activity was lower with the proportion of water and open land at different scales. In conclusion, bat conservation programmes need to consider the effect of skyglow as well as landscape characteristics.

Art/Re-search (T)here is a SSHRC-funded project that creates new transdisciplinary understandings of art, research and pedagogy. A review of the literature finds that researchers from a wide range of academic fields employ transformational arts-based methods with their participants, but that they are far less likely to weave art-making in all stages of the research process themselves. While researchers “outside” of the arts experiment with art-making in their un/familiar re-search (Absolon, 2011; Rowe, 2020) contexts, I re-perform how new networks and assemblages emerge. Art/Re-search (T)here includes 6 other re-searchers/co-conspirators from different academic fields who identify a need for, and absence of, arts-based research in their respective spaces, including English, Cultural Studies, Social Work, Indigenous Studies, Game Design, Unions, and Education. The individual and collective work that is created throughout this project performs (post)qualitative (Lather, 2007; St. Pierre, 2011) practices and feminist new materialist posthumanism (Barad, 2007) through the data/dada (Morawski & Palulis, 2009) that arises. In the first article, the individual art/re-search that my co-conspirators (Taylor, 2019) and I create provokes me to think about telling stories differently (King, 2005) through the (in)tensions of art, the limitations of language and the embodied (be)longing that occurs through the virtual-material-discursive (Springgay & Truman, 2017). I work through belonging with each of my co-conspirators in the process. In my second article, I work through the initial research questions with my co-conspirators through a collaborative mail art project. Research questions change and shift. I think about how this relational inquiry unfolds as a new materialist (Barad, 2007) methodological space of getting lost (Lather, 2007) with ethico-onto-epistem-ologies (Barad, 2007) of trans-formation in trans-it -- whereby some-thing lost is getting (t)here. In my third article, I re-perform and re-imagine the data bodies and events (Rousell, 2018) of Art/Re-search (T)here after the project ends through a dadaist (Kuenzli, 2015; Richter, 2010) art installation titled Transpedagogical data/dada assemblages. This leads me to put a call of action for more transdisciplinary transpedagogical (Helguera, 2011) art/re-search within higher education (Loveless, 2019) and beyond as it creates space for data/dada, diffraction and difference (Barad, 2007; Haraway, 1988; Lather, 2007) to emerge in world that, I contend, should embrace emergence.

Seldom are we privileged to witness an international philosophical movement, which in addition to being a philosophical revolution, vindicates the values and concerns of a critical anthropological approach in Spirituality from the analytic tradition. The work of critical realists is potential remedy for the ills, dichotomies and lacunae inherent in the Western philosophical and spiritual traditions. Critical realism and philosophy of meta-reality, it is claimed, not only emancipate philosophy but, science and society as spiritual. This dissertation explores the many points of confluence and exposes dimensions of living and studying spirituality, which challenge us to think of ontological realism, epistemological relativism and rational (reflexive) judgement in a mode, which cautions against the naive relativism, tacit irrealism and other mistakes which tend to over-characterise our academic discourse with social linguistification, to the detriment of humanity and our utopian freedom and flourishing. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / M.
