- In the present action-research project, three teachers and the researcher engaged in a series of meetings to analyze children's drawings from several different theoretical perspectives, or ‘readings’. Using two interrelated processes, deconstructive talks and an ethic of resistance, the teachers purposefully sought to recognize and challenge the taken-for-granted ideas, biases, hidden agendas, and theoretical discourses that informed their daily teaching practices. Within a feminist post-structural framework, discourse analysis was conducted on transcripts of these meetings. The study illustrates how deconstructive talks and an ethic of resistance enhanced the teachers’ awareness of multiple theoretical perspectives, as well as their understanding of how their own assumptions and values can impact children's learning. Ultimately, the teachers realized that their biases resulted in inequities, including gendered inequities, in their evaluations of the children's work. This realization, then, led to a re-conceptualization of pedagogical decision-making as a fundamentally ethical matter, closely related to egalitarianism as a central feature in the Nordic concept of the good childhood.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objectives This is the first population-level study to examine inequalities in COVID-19 mortality according to working-age individuals' occupations and the indirect occupational effects on COVID-19 mortality of older individuals who live with them.Methods We used early-release data for the entire population of Sweden of all recorded COVID-19 deaths from 12 March 2020 to 23 February 2021, which we linked to administrative registers and occupational measures. Cox proportional hazard models assessed relative risks of COVID-19 mortality for the working-aged population registered in an occupation in December 2018 and the older population who lived with them.Results Among working aged-adults, taxi/bus drivers had the highest relative risk of COVID-19 mortality: over four times that of skilled workers in IT, economics, or administration when adjusted only for basic demographic characteristics. After adjusting for socioeconomic factors (education, income and country of birth), there are no occupational groups with clearly elevated (statistically significant) COVID-19 mortality. Neither a measure of exposure within occupations nor the share that generally can work from home were related to working-aged adults' risk of COVID-19 mortality. Instead of occupational factors, traditional socioeconomic risk factors best explained variation in COVID-19 mortality. Elderly individuals, however, faced higher COVID-19 mortality risk both when living with a delivery or postal worker or worker(s) in occupations that generally work from home less, even when their socioeconomic factors are taken into account.Conclusions Inequalities in COVID-19 mortality of working-aged adults were mostly based on traditional risk factors and not on occupational divisions or characteristics in Sweden. However, older individuals living with those who likely cannot work from home or work in delivery or postal services were a vulnerable group.

Working hours and health - key research topics in the past and future
- 2024

Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health. - 0355-3140 .- 1795-990X. ; 50:4, s. 233-243

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: This paper discusses the past and present highlights of working hours and health research and identifies key research needs for the future. Method: We analyzed over 220 original articles and reviews on working hours and health in the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health published during the last 50 years. Key publications from other journals were also included. Results: The majority of identified articles focussed on the effects of shift and night work, with fewer studying long and reduced working hours and work time control. We observed a transition from small-scale experimental and intensive field studies to large-scale epidemiological studies utilizing precise exposure assessment, reflecting the recent emergence of register -based datasets and the development of analytic methods and alternative study designs for randomized controlled designs. The cumulative findings provide convincing evidence that shift work and long working hours, which are often associated with night work and insufficient recovery, increase the risk of poor sleep and fatigue, sickness absence, occupational injuries, and several chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The observed risks are strongly modified by individual and work -related factors. Conclusions: Although the observed health risks of shift work and long working hours are mostly low or moderate, the widespread prevalence of exposure and the hazardousness of the many associated potential outcomes makes such working time arrangements major occupational health risks. Further research is needed to identify exposure-response associations, especially in relation to the chronic health effects, and to elucidate underlying pathways and effective personalized intervention strategies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The final year of secondary schooling is an intense and important one for many young people. In 2020, Australian students in Year 12 were subjected to a range of disruptions to their learning practices because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting public health measures that distanced them from their schools, teachers and peers. This paper reports on a survey of 241 Australian Year 12 students. The survey sought to collect insights into how these students experienced learning in 2020. This research contributes to an emerging body of literature seeking to understand student learning during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We found that the provision of engaging content with clear understandings of performance, access to motivational events and activities, and strong and supportive relationships with teachers and peers were challenges to learning practices in 2020 and that these are important to the learning experiences of final year students.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The realization of the International TerrestrialReference Frame (ITRF) builds upon acombination of results derived from several geodeticspace techniques, such as Very Long Baseline Interferometry(VLBI), Satellite and Lunar Laser Ranging(SLR and LLR) or Global Navigation Satellite Systems(GNSS). To combine the different techniques andtheir results in a meaningful way, co-location sites areimportant where equipment for several techniques islocated reasonably close to each other. The relativegeometries (local tie vectors) between the geometricreference points of the different techniques can bederived by terrestrial survey at these co-locationsites. Within the Global Geodetic Observing System(GGOS) the requirements in terms of e.g. accuracyand frequency of local survey campaigns have beenincreased to guarantee that the local tie vectors reachan utmost level of global accuracy. In response tothis request we developed a concept to achieve automatedand continuous monitoring of radio telescopereference points. This concept was realized and testedin 2012 at the Onsala Space Observatory where anautomated monitoring system was installed for acontinual determination of the reference point ofthe 20 m radio telescope. The results confirm thatuncertainties on the sub-mm level can be achieved withthis approach.

- The most demanding goal of the GlobalGeodetic Observing System (GGOS) initiative is thedefinition of station positions to an accuracy of 1 mmand the corresponding velocities to 0.1 mm/year. Fundamentalstations are core sites in this respect, becausethey collocate the geodetic relevant space techniques.However this requires unprecedented control over localties, intra- and inter-technique biases. To improvethe accuracy of the geodetic techniques, new conceptsfor the monitoring and controlling of local ties and biaseshave to be implemented.We are developing a symmetrictwo-way measurement technique to identify unaccountedsystem delays within and between the instrumentationof the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell. Itrequires redesign of the VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry)phase calibration generator to be compatiblewith such an two-way measurement technique andVLBI2010. Another activity is the mapping of GlobalNavigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites into theframe of the quasars using VLBI telescope, in geodeticmode. This corresponds to a collocation of geodetictechniques in space. The receiver of the 20 m radiotelescope Wettzell (RTW) has been modified to measurethe GNSS L1 signal without changing the physicalreference point. Preliminary experiments have alreadybeen executed.

- Since 2007, the Geospatial Information Authorityof Japan (GSI) and the Onsala Space Observatory(OSO) have performed the ultra-rapid dUT1 experiments,which can provide us with near real-timedUT1 value. Its technical knowledge has already beenadopted for the regular series of the Tsukuba-Wettzellintensive session. Now we tried some 4-station ultrarapidEOP experiments in association with Hobart andHartRAO so that we can estimate not only dUT1 butalso the two polar motion parameters. In this experimenta new analysis software c5++ developed by theNational Institute of Information and CommunicationsTechnology (NICT) was used. We describe past developmentsand an overview of the experiment, and concludewith its results in this report.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The deformation of the anelastic Earth as aresponse to external forces from the Moon and Sun ischaracterized with proportionality parameters, the so-called Love and Shida numbers. The increasing pre-cision and quality of the VLBI (Very Long BaselineInterferometry) measurements allow determining thoseparameters. In particular, the long history of the VLBIdata enables the estimation of Love and Shida numbersat the low frequencies with the longest period of a tidalwave at 18.6 years. In this study we analyze 27 yearsof VLBI measurements (1984.0 - 2011.0) following therecent IERS Conventions 2010. In several global solu-tions, we estimate the complex Love and Shida num-bers of the solid Earth tides for the main long-periodtidal waves. Furthermore, we determine the Love andShida numbers of the rotational deformation due to po-lar motion, the so-called pole tide.
