- The European eLearning Forum for Education 2 (ELFE2) is a project initiated by the ETUCE (European Trade Union Committee on Education) and builds on the conclusion of its predecessor ELFE1. ELFE2 aims, as ELFE1, to contribute to a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of using ICT in education. It identifies ways used to optimize the benefits of ICT in education.To explore how ICT can be used to support teaching and learning two schools each in Denmark, England, Latvia, Poland, and Slovenia were selected based on information that indicated that they were regarded nationally as schools with an advanced ICT practice. The idea behind this selection is that by studying schools with what is experienced as an advance practice it will be possible to get some hints about problems and challenges other schools will be faced with.ELFE2 indicates that a number of ways are used in the schools to optimize the positive impact of ICT. Most of these ways are perceived by teachers and students as positive, but there are also factors that make the picture more complex. Some factors seem to be an obstacle for the introduction of ICT in the schools.

- The objective of this article is to identify how large the groups of weak readers are in the Nordic countries and to examine the composition of these groups with respect to gender, immigrant background, socioeconomic background, enjoyment of reading and school related factors. The percentage of weak readers varies from 8 percent in Finland to 17 percent in Iceland and Sweden. The percentage of weak readers has increased in Finland, Iceland and Sweden between 2000 and 2009 and decreased in Norway and Denmark during the same period. The composition of the group weak readers seems to be similar in the Nordic countries. Although there are many similarities between the countries, Finland seems to be the country that partly differs from the other countries. One possible reason behind this could be that the group weak readers is that much smaller than in the other countries and that this has an influence on the composition of the group.

What Can Be Done to Implement International Standards Concerning Children's Right To Education Worldwide?
- 2001

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The most important provision made by Governments world wide for children is to provide schooling. A majority of children in the world spend at least some years in primary education, but it also has to be recognised that large numbers of children do not get any education. From this perspective, it is important to examine how the right to education can be further emphasised in order to achieve education for all and how the right of the child is met in educational institutions. This article examines what international recommendations and conventions are of relevance for these issues, their implementation and the related problems which can be found in implementating these recommendations and conventions and finally what can be done to further better agreement between international recommendations and conventions, legislation, political decisions and the everyday practice.

Multiplexed, targeted profiling of single-cell proteomes and transcriptomes in a single reaction
- 2016

- We present a scalable, integrated strategy for coupled protein and RNA detection from single cells. Our approach leverages the DNA polymerase activity of reverse transcriptase to simultaneously perform proximity extension assays and complementary DNA synthesis in the same reaction. Using the Fluidigm C1 (TM) system, we profile the transcriptomic and proteomic response of a human breast adenocarcinoma cell line to a chemical perturbation, benchmarking against in situ hybridizations and immunofluorescence staining, as well as recombinant proteins, ERCC Spike-Ins, and population lysate dilutions. Through supervised and unsupervised analyses, we demonstrate synergies enabled by simultaneous measurement of single-cell protein and RNA abundances. Collectively, our generalizable approach highlights the potential for molecular metadata to inform highly-multiplexed single-cell analyses.

World-Leading Research and Education for All – A Swedish Challenge
- 2018
-
Ingår i: In Pursuit of World-Class Universities. - New Delhi : Studera Press. - 9789385883644 ; , s. 215-238

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter highlights important features of the Swedish university system in a historical perspective, with references to world-leading research and education. In focus is the distinction between university colleges and universities, and how this is related to education and research of high quality. The notion world-leading research and education is described as a particular challenge for Sweden, as country with a knowledge-based economy dependent on a global market. Sweden has the ambitions to achieve social justice and equal opportunities. There has been an emphasis on expanding higher education not only in terms of students, and also in terms of HEIs. It can be argued that there is a need to have a broad foundation to become world-leader in higher education, but at the same time, there exists a harsh competition about funding between HEIs. This tension will be at the core of future developments of higher education and research in Sweden.

Decentralising atrial fibrillation screening to overcome socio-demographic inequalities in uptake in STROKESTOP II
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Journal of Medical Screening. - : SAGE Publications. - 0969-1413 .- 1475-5793. ; 28:1, s. 3-9

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective In the first STROKESTOP atrial fibrillation screening study, participation was influenced by socio-demographic and geographic factors. To improve uptake in the second study, two screening sites were added, closer to low-income neighbourhoods which had very low participation in the first study. This paper aims to analyse the geographic and socio-demographic disparities in uptake in the second trial and compare the results with the first trial. Methods Inhabitants of the Stockholm region born in 1940 and 1941 were randomised 1:1 to be invited to screening or serve as controls. Medical history, blood samples and single-lead-ECG were collected. Invitee's residential parish was used for geo-mapping analysis of the geographical disparities in participation, using hierarchical Bayes methods. Individual data for participants and non-participants were obtained for the socioeconomic variables: educational level, disposable income, immigrant and marital status. Results Higher participation was observed in those with higher education, high income, among non-immigrants and married individuals. Participation between the first and second studies improved significantly, where additional screening sites were introduced. These improvements were generally significant, in each population group according to socio-demographic characteristics. Conclusion Decentralisation of screening sites in an atrial fibrillation screening program yielded a significantly positive impact on screening uptake. Adding local screening sites in areas with low uptake had beneficial impact on participation across a wide spectrum of socio-demographic groups. Decentralised screening substantially increased the screening uptake in deprived areas.

Cytokine detection by antibody-based proximity ligation
- 2004

Ingår i: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. - : Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. - 0027-8424 .- 1091-6490. ; 101:22, s. 8420-4

- Efficient and precise detection techniques, along with extensive repertoires of specific binding reagents, will be needed to meet the challenges of proteome analyses. The recently established proximity ligation mechanism enables sensitive high-capacity protein measurements by converting the detection of specific proteins to the analysis of DNA sequences. Proximity probes containing oligonucleotide extensions are designed to bind pairwise to target proteins and to form amplifiable tag sequences by ligation when brought in proximity. In our previous report, both the ligatable arms and the protein binders were DNA molecules. We now generalize the method by providing simple and convenient protocols to convert any polyclonal antibodies or matched pair of monoclonal antibodies to proximity probe sets through the attachment of oligonucleotide sequences. Sufficient reagent for >100,000 proximity ligation assays can be prepared from 1 microg of antibody. The technique is applied to measure cytokines in a homogenous test format with femtomolar detection sensitivities in 1-microl samples, and we exemplify its utility in situations when only minute sample amounts are available.
