“…Such designs give offices the potential to become "frictionless" and employees "technology-enabled, nomadic workers" (Bean and Hamilton, 2006, p. 321). Significant organisational benefits are claimed to follow from hot-desking, in terms of cost-savings, spatial flexibility and fluid networking (Duffy, 1997(Duffy, , 2000Fawcett and Chadwick, 2007;Warren, 2003). Cost-savings can be obtained through the more intensive use of office space (usually measured using a ratio of the number of desks per ten members of staff) because total space requirement need not increase in proportion to headcount (Duffy, 1997).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to provide a sociological analysis of emergent sociospatial structures in a hot-desking office environment, where space is used exchangeably. It considers hot-desking as part of broader societal shifts in the ownership of space. Design/methodology/approach -This analysis is based on an ethnographically-oriented investigation, in which data collection methods used were participant-observation and interviewing. The analysis uses Lefebvre's conceptualisation of the social production of space and draws on the urban sociology literature. Findings -The analysis first indicates that, in hot-desking environments, there may be an emergent social structure distinguishing employees who settle in one place, and others who have to move constantly. Second, the practice of movement itself generates additional work and a sense of marginalisation for hot-deskers.Research limitations/implications -The paper does not provide a generalisable theory, but suggests that loss of everyday ownership of the workspace gives rise to particular practical and social tensions and shifts hot-deskers' identification with the organisation. Practical implications -Official requirements for mobility may result in a new social structure distinguishing settlers and hot-deskers, rather than mobility being spread evenly. Originality/value -The paper contributes to the literature on organisational spatiality by focusing on the spatial practices entailed in hot-desking, and by contextualising hot-desking within the wider spatial configuration of capitalism, in which space is used exchangeability in order to realise greater economic returns. Rather than using the popular "nomadic" metaphor to understand the experience of mobility at work, it uses a metaphor of vagrancy to highlight consequences of the loss of ownership of space.

“…Virological failure or discontinuation was defined by the clinicians according to current national guidelines. 32 The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Diseases (MDRD) formula. The SCOLTA Project currently includes two cohorts: bictegravir and dolutegravir.…”

Objective Few data exist about the effect of dolutegravir (DTG) on bone mineral density (BMD) in real life. The aim of this study was to determine rates of change in BMD over time in people living with HIV (PLWH) treated with DTG. Design The SCOLTA project is a multicenter observational study enrolling HIV-infected people who start newly commercialized drugs prospectively, with the aim of identifying toxicities and adverse events (AE) in a real-life setting. Methods Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the femoral neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS) was performed at study entry (baseline, BL) and after 96 weeks. Percentage BMD change from BL was evaluated using a general linear model, including factors potentially associated with bone loss. Results One hundred and sixty PLWH were enrolled (26.3% female, mean age 49.9 ± 11.2 years) from April 2015 to April 2017. Overall, we could calculate BMD change from baseline, for at least one site, in 133 subjects (83.1%). After a median of 102 weeks (IQR: 90–110), mean FN BMD increased, but not significantly, whereas LS BMD showed a significant mean increase of 13.1 (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.7–24.6) mg/cm 3 (+1.6%, 95% CI: 0.3%, 2.8%) after a median time of 102 weeks (IQR: 84–110). As regards LS BMD, patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis at study entry experienced a high increase from baseline (20.6, 95% CI: 3.1, 38.1 mg/cm 3 ), as well as experienced subjects (16.9, 95% CI: 4.7, 29.2 mg/cm 3 ) and those on vitamin D supplementation (26.8, 95% CI: 7.7, 45.9 mg/cm 3 ). Conclusion Dolutegravir-containing regimens could reduce the negative impact of antiretroviral therapy on bone, especially in patients with low BMD.
