Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we study how KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Kungliga Tekniska högskolan – KTH) has participated in and influenced terminology work coordinated by the national terminology centre, the Swedish Centre for Technical Terminology – the TNC, in Sweden during the period 1941–1983. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the development of Swedish (technical) terminology based on networking and experts’ efforts. Based on archive material, we analyze who have been the active KTH experts, in what ways they were involved in the development processes and what effects their efforts had on the term recommendations given by the TNC. The archive material consists of written documents relating to the work process developed by John Wennerberg, who led the TNC between 1941 and 1957. The process was carried out in the form of 373 formal survey letters representing 17 subject fields, with both the TNC and external parties participating. Our results show that the 31 identified KTH experts play a visible role in the processes by 480 received survey letters within 14 subject fields. The response rate, 80 percent, reveal the experts’ involvement in the process and their high esteem of TNC’s work. The analysis of the comprehensive survey letter R198 shows that Wennerberg has considered the experts’ answers regarding terms (selection, linguistic form, acceptance/discourage) and definitions when he has published TNC’s recommendations. Our study shows that networking and experts representing the educational sector and furthermore universities have been an inseparable part of the development of Swedish (technical) terminology during several decades when the national terminology centre in Sweden began to operate and the working methods were established.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Swedish Tekniska Nomenklaturcentralen TNC (2000–2018 Terminologicentrum TNC) has been Sweden's national center for special languages and terminology work for more than 75 years. Since its founding in 1941, the TNC has been active not only in Sweden, but also in establishing and maintaining international contacts. The article describes the contacts between actors in the Swedish and Finnish terminology field, looking in particular at the contacts between the TNC and actors in the Finnish higher education sector between the 1940s and the 1990s. The method utilized is close reading and content analysis. The research material used is the collection of foreign correspondence in the TNC's document archive, and in particular the section stored in connection with the code Ufin, i.e. sections concerning communication between the TNC and Finnish actors. The article describes the topics covered in the communication, the objectives and consequences of the communication and the results achieved. The article focuses especially on the contacts between the TNC and two active actors in Finland, professor Jarl Salin at the Åbo Akademi University and professor Christer Laurén at the University of Vaasa. In the analysis, the Ufin themes of the letters were categorized in four main categories: publications, communication, information and language issues. In professor Jarl Salins letters, the most common theme were language issues, whereas Professor Christer Laurén contacted TNC especially in connection with publications and publishing.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present study deals with organised terminology work in Sweden from the 1940s to the late 2010s. Using archive material, we describe how practical terminology work was carried out in Sweden during the period 1941–2018/ 2019, when the Swedish Centre for Technical Terminology/the Swedish Centre for Terminology (TNC) was the central actor. Thereafter, we discuss models for building a new infrastructure for terminology work after the clo- sure of the TNC in 2018/2019. This discussion is based on interviews and analyses of articles and current reports. The study shows that multifaceted contacts with experts, academia, industry and society have played an essen- tial role for terminology work in Sweden since the 1930s. In the current situ- ation (2019), the activities are being reorganised and responsibility for terminology work is distributed between several actors. A new main actor is the government agency known as the Institute of Language and Folklore (Isof ). Finally, we discuss future visions for terminology work in Sweden.

Precaution and Ethics: Handling risks, uncertainties and knowledge gaps in the regulation of new biotechnologies
- 2017
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This volume outlines and analyses ethical issues actualized by applying a precautionary approach to the regulation of new biotechnologies. It presents a novel way of categorizing and comparing biotechnologies from a precautionary standpoint. Based on this, it addresses underlying philosophical problems regarding the ethical assessment of decision-making under uncertainty and ignorance, and discusses how risks and possible benefits of such technologies should be balanced from an ethical standpoint. It argues on conceptual and ethical grounds for a technology neutral regulation as well as for a regulation that not only checks new technologies but also requires old, inferior ones to be phased out. It demonstrates how difficult ethical issues regarding the extent and ambition of precautionary policies need to be handled by such a regulation, and presents an overarching framework for doing so.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Tämä tutkimus tarkastelee yhden alan asiantuntijan ja yhden kieliasiantuntijan osallistumista omakielisten käsitteiden ja termien valintaan ja vakiinnuttamiseen Ruotsin kansallisen terminologiakeskuksen toiminnassa 1940‒1983. Vertaamme asiantuntijoiden kommentointia määrällisesti ja laadullisesti induktiivisen luokittelun pohjalta. Aineisto koostuu kirjemuotoisista asiantuntijalausunnoista, joiden pohjalta Tekniska Nomenklaturcentralen (TNC) on antanut alakohtaisia suosituksiaan. Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittavat, että molemmat asiantuntijat ovat aktiivisia toimijoita lausuntoprosessissa. Kemian alan insinööri Halvard Liander on vastaanottanut 73 ja pohjoismaisten kielten professori Gösta Bergman 84 pyyntöä, joista he ovat jättäneet vastaamatta vain muutaman. Vastausten sisällön tarkastelu osoittaa, että 36 % Lianderin ja 51 % Bergmanin vastauksista kuuluu pääkategoriaan Enkla svar siinä merkityksessä, että niissä hyväksytään annetut ehdotukset, ei oteta kantaa, kerrotaan mielipide parhaasta vaihtoehdosta tai ei ole huomauttamista. Bergman hyväksyy annetut ehdotukset useammin kuin Liander. Sisällöltään kattavammissa pääkategoriassa Utvecklade svar molemmat asiantuntijat pohtivat vastauksissaan useimmiten kielenkäyttöä. Bergman ottaa useammin kantaa kieleen järjestelmänä ja Liander puolestaan kielenvälityksen aspekteihin eli esim. termivastineisiin.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Mellan 1941 och 2018 fungerade Tekniska Nomenklaturcentralen – TNC (från 2000 Terminologicentrum – TNC) som Sveriges nationella centrum för fackspråk och terminologi. Inom det pågående projektet Termer i tiden – tidens termer kartlägger forskare vid Göteborgs universitet, Stockholms universitet och Vasa universitet bland annat hur TNC samarbetade med totalt cirka 580 experter inom olika fackområden för att trygga tillgången på god fackspecifik terminologi och i bästa fall även bidra till god terminologisk praxis. Detta gjordes genom så kallade rundfrågor. De totalt 373 rundfrågorna från verksamhetsperioden 1941–1983 är sorterade på 17 huvudområden. Perioden kännetecknas av att terminologiarbetet i Sverige var organiserat utifrånen intressentmodell. Rundfrågor initierades antingen av TNC eller av en extern aktör, frågor skickades ut från TNC, experter avgav sina svar och TNC gjorde utredningar med rekommendationer. I vårt föredrag redovisar vi hur Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) i Stockholm deltog i rundfrågeprocessen under 40 år. Under perioden 1941‒1983 initierade KTH ett antal rundfrågor och över hundra rundfrågor skickades till personer verksamma vid KTH. Detta innebär att KTH var en av de oftast anlitade organisationerna i det terminologiska arbetet i Sverige under perioden. Vi analyserar KTH:s medverkan i samarbetet ur ett kvantitativt och ett kvalitativt perspektiv. För det första klarlägger vi hur initiativen och rundfrågorna till experterna fördelar sig över de sjutton fackområdena och över tid. För det andra reder vi ut vilka slags rundfrågor KTH har initierat, vilka personer som har fått fungera som experter i dessa och vilka slags slutresultat man nått genom samarbetet. För det tredje jämför vi svar på de rundfrågor som har gått till flera ”KTH-personer” samtidigt. Här uppmärksammar vi hur dessa personer formulerar sina svar och vilka typer av argu-ment de anför för sina uppfattningar.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A bioassay based on a high-Tc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) reading out functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (fMNPs) in a prototype microfluidic platform is presented. The target molecule recognition is based on volume amplification using padlock-probe-ligation followed by rolling circle amplification (RCA). The MNPs are functionalized with single-stranded oligonucleotides, which give a specific binding of the MNPs to the large RCA coil product, resulting in a large change in the amplitude of the imaginary part of the ac magnetic susceptibility. The RCA products from amplification of synthetic Vibrio cholera target DNA were investigated using our SQUID ac susceptibility system in microfluidic channel with an equivalent sample volume of 3 μl. From extrapolation of the linear dependence of the SQUID signal versus concentration of the RCA coils, it is found that the projected limit of detection for our system is about 1.0 e5 RCA coils (0.2e−18 mol), which is equivalent to 66 fM in the 3 μl sample volume. This ultra-high magnetic sensitivity and integration with microfluidic sample handling are critical steps towards magnetic bioassays for rapid detection of DNA and RNA targets at the point of care.
