Balancing between being the most valuable player (MVP) and passing the ball: a qualitative study of support when living with chronic pain in Sweden by Markus Saarijärvi, Sara Wallström, Inger Ekman, Mari Lundberg, Veronica Lilja, Vivi-Anne Segertoft

“…Objective This study aimed to elucidate the meaning of lived experiences of support from social networks and the healthcare sector in persons with chronic pain.Design A qualitative, phenomenological hermeneutic method was used to analyse interview data.Setting Participants were recruited from patient organisations in Sweden.Participants Ten (seven women, two men and one non-binary) individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain were included.Findings The meaning of lived experiences of support in persons with chronic pain involves balancing between being the most valuable player (MVP) and passing the ball, meaning balancing between being a capable person and accepting support to be that capable person.Conclusion For participants who lived with chronic pain, support means balancing between being capable (the MVP) and willing to accept support (passing the ball), which aligns with the concept of person-centred care. …”

Single Charge Current in a Normal Mesoscopic Region Attached to Superconductor Leads via a Coupled Poisson Nonequilibrium Green Function Formalism by David Verrilli, F. P. Marin, Rafael Rangel

“…We study the I-V characteristic of mesoscopic systems or quantum dot (QD) attached to a pair of superconducting leads. Interaction effects in the QD are considered through the charging energy of the QD; that is, the treatment of current transport under a voltage bias is performed within a coupled Poisson nonequilibrium Green function (PNEGF) formalism. …”
