- Genome-wide association studies have discovered hundreds of loci associated with complex brain disorders, but it remains unclear in which cell types these loci are active. Here we integrate genome-wide association study results with single-cell transcriptomic data from the entire mouse nervous system to systematically identify cell types underlying brain complex traits. We show that psychiatric disorders are predominantly associated with projecting excitatory and inhibitory neurons. Neurological diseases were associated with different cell types, which is consistent with other lines of evidence. Notably, Parkinson’s disease was genetically associated not only with cholinergic and monoaminergic neurons (which include dopaminergic neurons) but also with enteric neurons and oligodendrocytes. Using post-mortem brain transcriptomic data, we confirmed alterations in these cells, even at the earliest stages of disease progression. Our study provides an important framework for understanding the cellular basis of complex brain maladies, and reveals an unexpected role of oligodendrocytes in Parkinson’s disease. © 2020, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature America, Inc.

The Magnitude of Global Marine Species Diversity
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Current Biology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0960-9822 .- 1879-0445. ; 22:23, s. 2189-2202
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: The question of how many marine species exist is important because it provides a metric for how much we do and do not know about life in the oceans. We have compiled the first register of the marine species of the world and used this baseline to estimate how many more species, partitioned among all major eukaryotic groups, may be discovered. Results: There are similar to 226,000 eukaryotic marine species described. More species were described in the past decade (similar to 20,000) than in any previous one. The number of authors describing new species has been increasing at a faster rate than the number of new species described in the past six decades. We report that there are similar to 170,000 synonyms, that 58,000-72,000 species are collected but not yet described, and that 482,000-741,000 more species have yet to be sampled. Molecular methods may add tens of thousands of cryptic species. Thus, there may be 0.7-1.0 million marine species. Past rates of description of new species indicate there may be 0.5 +/- 0.2 million marine species. On average 37% (median 31%) of species in over 100 recent field studies around the world might be new to science. Conclusions: Currently, between one-third and two-thirds of marine species may be undescribed, and previous estimates of there being well over one million marine species appear highly unlikely. More species than ever before are being described annually by an increasing number of authors. If the current trend continues, most species will be discovered this century.

Perceived Swedish Vowel Quantity : Effects of Postvocalic Consonant Duration
- 1998
-
Ingår i: 5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing, ICSLP 1998. - : International Speech Communication Association.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the production of Swedish, vowel quantity is known to be realized in the vowel, but also affects duration of a postvocalic consonant. The goal of this study is to examine the use of postvocalic consonant duration as a perceptual cue to vowel quantity. Listeners' responses and reaction times were recorded for synthesized materials in which the vowel spectra and duration were kept constant and the postvocalic consonant duration was adjusted. Results show no indication that listeners actively used the duration of a postvocalic consonant to identify vowel quantity. These findings suggest that adjustments in postvocalic consonant duration in Swedish productions may be temporal artifacts of the preceding vowel quantity rather than reflecting linguistically relevant information.

- This chapter considers the language biographies narrated by two female forced migrants from the area of the former Yugoslavia that is now Bosnia. We analyse these to access defining traumatic and agentic moments towards high-level language and literacy skills in Swedish. They arrived, along with many other forced migrants fleeing the Balkan wars, during a deep economic recession. The immigrant group has outperformed other forced migrant groups in Sweden and these language biographies provide pertinent insights into adaption, and the route to the achievement of high-level literacy and language competencies. These insights should be viewed broadly and not as prototypical for forced migrants. Our findings suggest agentic acts of proactive language- and literacy-learning need to be interwoven across an individual’s social, academic, and working life.

New-arrivals challenged by remote teaching : creating solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ensuring access to equal education is more complex than adopting remote teaching approaches. International reactions to Covid-19 included closing physical schools and moving teaching online. This has created learning challenges for newly arrived refugees and immigrants, and teaching challenges for their teachers. On 18 March 2020, language teaching for post-compulsory school-aged refugees and immigrants moved to remote teaching. This paper investigates this move. Through semi-structured interviews, we investigated how teachers attempted to assure equal access to these language courses and their perception of their students’ experiences of this shift. We found that many of the teachers’ students were inexperienced computer users. We also found that the teachers perceived that their students’ feelings of isolation from society increased, and that this in turn reduced their abilities to access the education being offered. Remote teaching is not sufficient on its own to support the social function of these courses. However, the interviewed teachers are highly creative teachers. For example, they kept trialling combinations of a wide range of communication possibilities including visiting students at home and holding outdoor meetings. In these ways they created an instantiation of agency that may have encouraged students. These actions suggest avenues for future research and potential ways of ameliorating the educational challenges created by the sudden move to teaching online.

Reflective writing : for whom?
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Professional development and reflective development are, among others, two interdependent processes that are important for trainee audiologists. Reflective writing has been viewed as supporting these processes. However, recent research findings indicate, that the way in which reflective writing tasks are organised and assessed, may constrain the students’ reflections. In an attempt to reduce this, we introduced follow-up mentor-student motivating interviews as the formative assessment. This study evaluates our implementation of this new pedagogical approach.

Acoustic impact on decoding of semantic emotions
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Speaker classification II. - Berlin : Springer. - 9783540741213 ; , s. 57-69
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper examines the interaction between the emotion indicated by the content of an utternance and the emotion indicated by the acoustic of an utterance, and considers whether a speaker can hide their emotional state by acting an emotion even though being semantically honest. Three female and two male speakers of Swedish were recorded saying the sentences “Jag har vunnit en miljon pa° lotto” (I have won a million on the lottery), “Det finns böcker i bokhyllan” (There are books on the bookshelf) and “Min mamma har just dött” (my mother just died) as if they were happy, neutral (indifferent), angry or sad. Thirty-nine experimental participants (19 female and 20 male) heard 60 randomly selected stimuli randomly coupled with the question “Do you consider this speaker to be emotionally X?”, where X could be angry, happy, neutral or sad. They were asked to respond yes or no; the listeners’ responses and reaction times were collected. The results show that semantic cues to emotion play little role in the decoding process. Only when there are few specific acoustic cues to an emotion do semantic cues come into play. However, longer reaction times for the stimuli containing mismatched acoustic and semantic cues indicate that the semantic cues to emotion are processed even if they impact little on the perceived emotion.

Detection of imitated voices : who are reliable earwitnesses?

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Factors affecting an individual's ability to identify people aurally are of forensic importance. This paper investigates how topic, dialect, gender, age, and hearing status affect detection of an imitated voice. Two imitations of the same person, but on different topics, were used as familiarization voices. One topic was associated with this person, and the other was not. Using discrimination sensitivity (d-prime) it was found that topic had a significant impact on d', as did age (but only when the topic was not associated with the imitated person). Dialect, gender and hearing status were not significant. The older group of listeners was less convinced by the imitations and in particular the one not associated with the person being imitated. These results imply that the validity of earwitness evidence is negatively affected by age and topic.

Dialect recognition in a noisy environment : preliminary data
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Proceedings from Fonetik 2007. ; , s. 101-104
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The ability to identify the dialect spoken by an individual by voice alone has beenwidely investigated for many languages. The studies suggest a large degree of individualvariation in dialect recognition ability and that factors such as perceptualdistance and competence in the language interact with this variation. Trained listenershave also been shown to be unstable in their judgements of dialect. In the studypresented here naïve listeners attending a trade fair in Umeå were asked to selectbetween eight given dialects when identifying two dialects. The test environment wasnoisey. The level of the background noise changed with the flow of people and activitiesassociated with the trade fair. The noisy environment did not appear to affectthe listeners responses.

That voice sounds familiar : factors in speaker recognition
- 2007
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Humans have the ability to recognize other humans by voice alone. This is important both socially and for the robustness of speech perception. This Thesis contains a set of eight studies that investigates how different factors impact on speaker recognition and how these factors can help explain how listeners perceive and evaluate speaker identity. The first study is a review paper overviewing emotion decoding and encoding research. The second study compares the relative importance of the emotional tone in the voice and the emotional content of the message. A mismatch between these was shown to impact upon decoding speed. The third study investigates the factor dialect in speaker recognition and shows, using a bidialectal speaker as the target voice to control all other variables, that the dominance of dialect cannot be overcome. The fourth paper investigates if imitated stage dialects are as perceptually dominant as natural dialects. It was found that a professional actor could disguise his voice successfully by imitating a dialect, yet that a listener's proficiency in a language or accent can reduce susceptibility to a dialect imitation. Papers five to seven focus on automatic techniques for speaker separation. Paper five shows that a method developed for Australian English diphthongs produced comparable results with a Swedish glide + vowel transition. The sixth and seventh papers investigate a speaker separation technique developed for American English. It was found that the technique could be used to separate Swedish speakers and that it is robust against professional imitations. Paper eight investigates how age and hearing impact upon earwitness reliability. This study shows that a senior citizen with corrected hearing can be as reliable an earwitness as a younger adult with no hearing problem, but suggests that a witness' general cognitive skill deterioration needs to be considered when assessing a senior citizen's earwitness evidence. On the basis of the studies a model of speaker recognition is presented, based on the face recognition model by V. Bruce and Young (1986; British Journal of Psychology, 77, pp. 305 - 327) and the voice recognition model by Belin, Fecteau and Bédard (2004; TRENDS in Cognitive Science, 8, pp. 129 - 134). The merged and modified model handles both familiar and unfamiliar voices. The findings presented in this Thesis, in particular the findings of the individual papers in Part II, have implications for criminal cases in which speaker recognition forms a part. The findings feed directly into the growing body of forensic phonetic and forensic linguistic research.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The short-term international immersion model (STIIM) for the internationalisation of doctoral education is a meeting between groups, or cohorts, of doctoral students from at least two countries. This chapter describes STIIM, and through examples from a four-day meeting in Wales, we illustrate how STIIM meetings can be designed to support learning and internationalisation. The chapter frames STIIM in its historical context in Norway and Sweden, highlights the democratic aspects of the model, and demonstrates the importance of socialisation into the academy as a global arena as supported by the model.

PPD ACT: an app-based genetic study of postpartum depression
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Translational psychiatry. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2158-3188. ; 8:1, s. 260-
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Postpartum depression (PPD) is one of the most frequent complications of childbirth and particularly is suited to genetic investigation as it is more homogenous than major depression outside of the perinatal period. We developed an iOS app (PPD ACT) to recruit, consent, screen, and enable DNA collection from women with a lifetime history of PPD to sufficiently power genome-wide association studies. In 1 year, we recruited 7344 women with a history of PPD and have biobanked 2946 DNA samples from the US. This sample of PPD cases was notably severely affected and within 2 years of their worst episode of PPD. Clinical validation was performed within a hospital setting on a subset of participants and recall validity assessed 6–9 months after initial assessment to ensure reliability of screening tools. Here we detail the creation of the PPD ACT mobile app including design, ethical, security, and deployment considerations. We emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration to correctly implement such a research project. Additionally, we describe our ability to customize the PPD ACT platform to deploy internationally in order to collect a global sample of women with PPD.

Engagement, directed motivational currents, and second language learning : adult immigrant perspectives
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The dissertation answers calls for the integration of motivation and engagement theory and research among highly educated adult-migrant language learners. Specifically, the purpose of this dissertation is to propose a model to describe the interactions between the motivation construct Directed Motivational Currents (DMCs) and the engagement construct Engagement with Language (EWL). The site of this dissertation is Sweden and hence the language learners of this dissertation were learning Swedish to enter the Swedish employment market. This thesis is a qualitative study with a social-dynamic approach to DMCs and EWL, and second language learning is viewed as a highly interactive process. The dissertation consists of three studies. Each study is based in a different formal language learning setting with the following groups of participants: (1) voluntary migrants with university degrees; (2) voluntary and forced migrant medical doctors, and (3) forced migrant schoolteachers. Semi-structured interviews, observation, and questionnaires were used to collect data to describe DMCs and EWL in concert. The findings of the thesis are that the lenses of DMCs and EWL can be combined to reveal more detail about highly educated adult-migrant language learners learning than earlier models. The findings also suggested ways in which the DMCs and EWL constructs interact, and that these are influenced by learners’ visions of their current and future selves, and by effective profession-oriented language teaching. Based on the analysis of the data from the three studies a novel model, Engagement in Directed Motivational Currents (EDMCs), is posited. This novel model captures the multidirectional interaction between DMCs and EWL, and how DMCs are nurtured by cognitive, affective and social engagement, and EWL is energized by motivational structure and goal, and emotionality. The posited model has relevance for second language pedagogy beyond highly educated migrant adult language learning contexts, and for future research in the area of long-term motivation and EWL in relation to second language learning.

Beyond the Blog
- 2012
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation examines weblog community as a materially afforded and socially constructed space. In a set of three case studies, this dissertation examines three separate weblog communities between 2004 and 2008. CASE STUDY I looks at knowledge management bloggers in order to better understand how bloggers form communities. In this case study, it will be shown that blogs group thematically and in temporal bursts. These bursts of thematic activity allow for movement in and out of a community, as well as act as a bridge between different weblog communities. CASE STUDY II examines two pseudonymous bloggers in order to better understand how presentation and identity is understood in blogging. It will be shown in CASE STUDY II that social identity in weblog communities is negotiated through blogging practices such as transparency in writing and truthful presentation. CASE STUDY III delves further into social identity by examining a community of academic bloggers and how traditional, institutionalized expectations influence social identity over time, and if this influence differs in the core and periphery of the community. It will be shown in CASE STUDY III that there is indeed a difference in how social identity is negotiated and performed between core and periphery members of a weblog community. Finally, a model towards an integrated approach to researching blogs is put forth.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter presents a questionnaire study that asks Swedish upper secondary school students about their informal out-of-school ICT-based literacies and how these feed into their formal school-based writing of English argumentative texts. Two questionnaires in combination with national test grades for an English argumentative text assignment are used to tease apart which out-of-school, ICT-based, and other literacies relate to the grades achieved. This showed that reading in Swedish had a significant impact on the grades achieved when writing in English, but writing in Swedish had a negative impact, with English reading or writing in ICT-based platforms having no impact. However, as the boys achieved as well as girls on the English writing task in the national test, unlike in other subjects, we argue that our ordinal regression analysis failed to capture the impact of informal e-learning of English. Free text questionnaire answers confirmed our view of the important role ICT-based literacies in social media and e-sport have on the informal learning of English and the students’ confidence in writing in English as second language. In sum, e-sports and other out-of-school ICT-based literacies lift boys’ performance in English as second language writing. Finally, this chapter presents some directions for future research.

- Teaching training can lag changes in school and society. With the onset of ubiquitous writing and mobile devices, the literacies experiences of today’s school and teacher students are different to those of most teacher trainers. In this chapter, a sequence of case studies is presented linking the school student, the teacher education student, and the teacher educator to provide a multifaceted picture of literacies development. Two questionnaires answered by 71 and 39 upper secondary school students, respectively, provided a picture of literacies use in upper secondary school (Case Study 1). The written tasks and the post-writing interviews with three upper secondary school students highlighted the tensions between out-of-school ubiquitous literacies and the in-school academic writing demands (Case Study 2). The teacher education student participatory research case study with four students challenged perceptions of how teacher education students learn academic literacies, and of student resilience (Case Study 3). Together, the case studies showed a disconnection in school between school student contemporary ubiquitous literacies and school literacies expectations. Although finding ways to ameliorate this disconnection through innovative teacher education is important, finding ways to simultaneously strengthen student teachers’ learning autonomy, strengthen the sustainability of their teaching to keep abreast of ubiquitous literacies changes is central to make school inclusive and sustainable.

- Computer keystroke logging (KSL) software is tailored to study a writer's route from their first keystroke to their final written product. Today, this software is widely available for both PC and Mac computers. Since 1998, when Sullivan et al. first suggested that Trace-it, an early Mac-based piece of KSL software, could be used in the second language (L2) writing classroom, computers have become common in schools, and mobile literacies have become ubiquitous. However, KSL's move into the second language composition classroom has generally not followed these developments. This chapter presents a vision of how KSL can be used in the L2 writing classroom to support a meta-cognitive understanding of each student's writing. In this way, the learning of L2 writing can be individualized.

-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This groundbreaking book highlights the profound impact of internationalization in doctoral education, offering a variety of models to align with student interests and needs. It includes insights from over seventy contributors spanning more than thirty-five national contexts on six continents, who explore the values and benefits of internationalization at the doctoral level, such as social and cultural enrichment, academic and personal growth, network enhancement, and research collaboration, paving the way for meaningful career opportunities in academia or elsewhere. Evaluating the outcomes of internationalization and the development of researcher identities, the volume underscores the immeasurable value and impact of internationalized doctoral experiences while recognizing the importance of student agency. Reflections from students and graduates reveal the merits of international experiences but also address challenges and pitfalls, including environmental, economic, equity, and decolonization concerns.With implementable recommendations for institutions, academics, and students, this important book offers guidance for the future of internationalization in doctoral education and emphasizes the importance of strategic institutional approaches. Internationalization of the Doctoral Experience: Models, Opportunities and Outcomes is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolving landscape and transformative potential of internationalization in doctoral education.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The present volume can be linked to a growing awareness of the potential in doctoral education for international experiences to deliver the pragmatic as well as values-based benefits of internationalisation (Jones & Killick, 2007). The former include the sharing of different perspectives on the field of study, alternative approaches to research and problem-solving, creating international collaboration and publication opportunities, developing research networks and offering career opportunities. The ‘values-based’ rationale for intercultural engagement is equally relevant at doctoral level as at other stages of education. Learning to work in multinational and multicultural teams and being open to different approaches and perspectives has become even more important as professional and project-based doctorates increase. Doctoral education is now much more than preparing candidates for academic careers.

Development of a Gender Difference in Voice Onset Time

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper investigates the effect of gender on voice onset time distribution at three stages of speech development. Two subject groups consisting of children, aged approximately 3 and 9 years, were compared to adult speakers regarding voice onset time of initial plosives. The results showed significant gender effects in the aspirated plosives in the young subjects that were not present in the plosives produced by adults. It is hypothesised that the effect of gender at the earlier stages of develpment may be due to the differences in airflow intensity and variability.
