    New technology among old stones – Ystad Allehanda

    Heinge.

    For 130 years ago, the retired farmer and möllaren Nils Nilsson engrave words of wisdom and images on large volcanic rocks. Now, visitors can learn about the strange stones through modern technology.

    In the garden around the house mölle Hallsberg it looks like at the turn of the century. Mince County District Local History Society is keen to preserve the environment, with old perennials and roses.

    – This is an old Hörjelros which existed in the 1500s, and this is a rose from my grandmother. This is called kanelros, because the stem resembles a cinnamon stick, says Stig-Allan Dust, which ensures that the old varieties thrive in the garden.

    Besides roses grow here acacias, acanthus, hops, jasmine, honeysuckle, canary grass, blågull, Christ’s blood drop and much more.

    – Here is a real idyll, many come here and take a picnic basket with you. It’s open every day, it’s just to put a dollar in his gun.

    The stones also looks like they did in 1896, when möllaren Nils Nilsson died and left behind their collective wisdom of life, inscribed with möllehackan in 13 different stones.

    – It’s certainly the volcanic rocks from the time when the volcano in Frualid was active. It grows namely no moss on them. They were also moderately hard to hack in, explains Stig-Allan Damm.

    Nowadays there are also nine signs of more modern look in the garden. They contain so-called qr codes, as visitors equipped with smartphones can read by using an app.

    Younger Audience

    – We want to turn to a slightly younger audience, and have been helped with the This of Skåne district association, says Stig-Allan Damm.

    The first code leads to a page that talks about the background to the gardens and the stones, and then follows a further eight, deployed at the artworks. That way you can find out more about exmpelvis Israel Stone, who has a map on one side and pictures of Jesus in the garden, ascension and resurrection on the other.

    stone has been placed on a paved stream bed, as Nils Nilsson erected to remind of the Jordan River.

    One of the big stone building sites intended to pay tribute to the kings of Erik the Holy Gustav Vasa and Gustavus Adolphus. Other stones tell of the tragedies of Nils Nilsson’s own life.

    – His wife died, and he had to follow seven of his nine children to the grave, says Stig-Allan Damm.

    And even though he was 78 years forgot Nils Nilsson never his childhood, when enskiftet forced the family to Hallsberg.

    Wellbeing

    Here was, he tells us at one of the tables of stone, “no roads, no stems, little house and no raise some money. ”

    In that place built Nils Nilsson’s parents, he himself, his children and grandchildren eventually up one of the more prosperous farms in the neighborhood.

    Sjöbogatan.

    Healthcare center in Sjöbogatan has tested the new mobile technology in patients with heart failure. The result is good and presented yesterday at Almedalsveckan on Gotland.

    For three weeks, the 18 heart patients linked to the health center in Sjöbogatan been testing new technology. Behind the project is Region Skåne and Sony Mobile supported by Ideon company Mobile Heights in Lund. The equipment that the patients tested consisted of a wave, a cell phone and a digital wristband. Bengt Dagner, contact the Association Ystad Sjöbogatan-Skurup Heart Lung, one of the test subjects.

    – It has worked really well, and the equipment was easy to use.

    Extra tabs

    Both he and his wife Kerstin Dagner, who also suffer from heart failure, has been weighing yourself in the morning and evening. The data have been recorded on the mobile phone and via a transmitter in the digital wristband sent to the medical center in Sjöbogatan thus been able to have an extra eye on the patients.

    – When you suffer from heart failure, you can collect the water. Therefore, one can eliminate the risk of deterioration if you have an eye on their weight, says Bengt Dagner.

    Ingrid Berntsson, district nurse and heart failure nurse, hoping that future technology will make it easier for patients.

    Although MacDonald, Director of Operations at the health center , is pleased with the study.

    – We have only tested the technique and conducted an evaluation of it. Any evaluation of the benefits we have not done. It may in such cases be in a second step, and with far more patients, he says.

    Slipper worry unnecessarily

    For Kerstin Dagner it is mainly about avoiding worry needlessly.

    – If I do not take diuretics so does my weight. Now I have been able to keep track of my weight and it is reassuring that there is someone who checks one’s values.
