- Fiberbanksfrom the pulp and paper industry are typically contaminated with a wide range ofchlorinated aromatic and aliphatic toxins such as HCB and other chlorinated benzenes, PCB,HCH, DDT, PCDD, PCDF and Chlorophenols. This poses a formidable challenge for theanalyst to develop appropriate analytical methodology for the monitoring of the progress ofremediation.In preparation to this undertaking, an examination of a practical analytical method using oneextraction method, one clean-up and one analysis method for the aforementioned targetcompounds found in the fibrous sediment. This method was performed using acceleratedsolvent extraction (ASE), a modified silica gel column and GC-FID/ECD. Additionally,an assessment of the levels of organic pollutants was conducted,with the purposeofmeasuringthe potential alteration in contaminantswhenfreeze-drying, air-drying andautoclavingpretreatments are applied to the sediment samples, prior to be used as a media forbiological remediation.The results showed that the ASE is a very fast and reliable method of extraction, with yieldscomparableorhigher than the reference Soxhlet extraction method. Theactivatedsilica gelcolumn demonstrated adequate purification of the sediment extract for analysisusingthe twodetectors, FID and ECD, whichwere able to identify the target analytes fromonlyone purifiedextract. The method employed in this study has the potentialto reduceboth processing timeand materialusedfor analytical sample preparation. Lastly, some modifications inconcentrations anddistribution of target analyteswere revealedin thesediments pre-treated byautoclave and air-driedwhencompared withthefreeze-dried sediments, which can helpunderstanding the development of the biological remediation process.

- Among students in higher education, attending formal teaching sessions might be important not only for academic achievement but also to foster human values. Despite this, the low and declining attendance rate is a growing concern in higher education. This study aimed to explore what students believe teachers could do to facilitate attendance at formal teaching sessions in the physical education part of the teacher education program in Sweden. Three focus group interviews were conducted among students aged 20 to 35 who attended the teacher education programme. The self-determination theory was used as a theoretical framework, and data were analysed and categorised using qualitative content analysis. The analysis of the interviews formed an overarching theme that intersected with four categories. The results show that teachers might facilitate attendance during formal teaching sessions by providing opportunities for students to interact with each other; match challenges with skills; be engaged, enthusiastic, and caring; and outline the value and rationale. The study’s implications for teachers are discussed in the paper.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is limited understanding of how education initiatives geared toward faculty and support staff can foster a capacity for long-term and integrated societal engagement and collaboration within higher education institutions. Using the experiences from a cross-disciplinary pilot course in Sweden, the current study aims to identify features that explicate how skills and academic rigor for engaging in societal collaboration can be developed toward a “reflexive scholarship of societal collaboration.” Based on a case study of the course, we identify the need for (i) theoretical orientation, (ii) collective reflections among diverse participants, and (iii) application of gained knowledge in real-world contexts. Building on the experiences from the pilot course, we explore and discuss the participants’ reflections on how their partaking in the course may support a reflexive scholarship of societal collaboration. Our study is relevant to managers and policymakers interested in nurturing long-term and integrated collaborations between academia and various societal actors.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study aimed to explore how teachers at certified sports-oriented upper secondary schools (CSUSS) in Sweden experienced how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted their everyday practice and well-being. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 teachers (mean age: 44 years) from three CSUSS in southern Sweden. The interviews were analysed using abductive qualitativecontent analysis. The analysis resulted in one overreaching theme, ‘Making sense of changes in everyday practice and dealing with a changing world’, illuminating how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted teachers. The teachers described the first lockdown as an initial shock that brought about changes in their workload and daily routines. The second lockdown was generally easier to handle, but they spent more time on planning and preparations, and had a greater focus on conveying theoretical knowledge and physicaltraining. Throughout the pandemic, they experienced a lack of social interactions; nonetheless, supportive colleagues and schools provided some relief. The teachers also experienced uncertainty regarding constantly changing restrictions; they learned, however, the importance of being flexible and creative in coping with these changes. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted their everyday practice and well-being. © 2024 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduktion: Våren 2020 förklarade WHO SARS-Coronavirus-2 (Covid-19) en pandemi, som drastiskt påverkade omvärlden, människors vardag samt hälsa och välbefinnande. I litteraturen saknas dock kunskap kring hur lärare och tränare på idrottsgymnasium i Sverige har påverkats av och hanterat Covid-19-pandemin. Såldes avser denna studie att bidra till ökad kunskap om hur lärare och tränare på idrottsgymnasium i Sverige har påverkats av Covid-19-pandemin.Syfte och teoretisk ram: Denna studie syftade till att utforska hur tränare och lärare vid idrottsgymnasium i södra Sverige upplevde att Covid-19-pandemin påverkade deras vardagliga praktik, personliga utveckling och välbefinnande. Känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) används som teoretisk ram för att tolka och förstå insamlad empiri.Metod: Individuella djupintervjuer genomfördes med 13 lärare/tränare (medelålder: 44 år) från tre idrottsgymnasieskolor i södra Sverige. Intervjuerna varade i 43 till 95 minuter (i genomsnitt 68 minuter). Samtliga intervjuer transkriberades ordagrant och analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Resultat: Analysen resulterade i ett övergripande tema, "Att förstå förändringar i vardagen och hantera en föränderlig värld", som belyser hur Covid-19-pandemin påverkade lärarna och tränarna. Lärarna och tränarna beskrev den första nedstängningen som en initial chock som medförde förändringar i deras arbetsbelastning och dagliga rutiner. Den andra nedstängningen var generellt sett lättare att hantera, men de lade mer tid på planering och förberedelser och hade ett större fokus på att förmedla teoretisk kunskap och fysisk träning. Under hela pandemin upplevde de en brist på social interaktion; dock erbjöd stöttande kollegor och skolorna en viss lättnad. Lärarna och tränarna upplevde också osäkerhet kring ständigt föränderliga restriktioner; de lärde sig dock vikten av att vara flexibla och kreativa för att hantera dessa. Således påverkades lärarnas och tränarnas vardagliga praktik, personliga utveckling, välbefinnande och KASAM påtagligt av Covid-19-pandemin.Diskussion och slutsatser: Sammantaget belyser resultaten behovet av beredskap, flexibilitet och stöd för att navigera de förändringar som Covid-19-pandemin medförde. Genom att förstå de mångfacetterade effekterna av Covid-19-pandemin kan beslutsfattare, utbildningsinstitutioner och stödnätverk bättre utrusta lärare och tränare på idrottsgymnasium för att navigera i framtida utmaningar, som nya pandemier.

Changes in amotivation, external regulation, and intrinsic regulation predicted dropout from youth soccer during the COVID-19 pandemic
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Regular sport participation is essential for youths physical, mental, and social health. Research shows, however, that sports participation peaks at around 10-14 years of age before declining through adolescence. Soccer, which is the most popular youth sport in Sweden, is no exception to dropout problems during adolescence. Purpose of the study: The purpose was to examine longitudinal changes in youth soccer players motivational regulations during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic in Sweden, and how longitudinal changes in motivational regulations predicts dropout from youth soccer.Methods: Self-reported data was collected from 325 youth soccer players between 11 and 17 years of age (M = 13.08) at the beginning of the season in 2019 (TI) and 2020 (T2) and dropout data was reported by the coaches at the end of the season in 2021 (T3). Latent change score analyses, using Bayesian estimator, was used to examine change in the players motivational regulations. Findings: There was a credible increase in amotivation (β = 0.14) and a credible decrease in identified regulation (β = -0.41) between T1 and T2. Changes in amotivation (β = 0.16), external regulation (β = 0.14), and intrinsic regulation (β = -0.15) between T1 and T2 were credible predictors of dropout from soccer at T3. Conclusion: To reduce the risk of dropout from youth soccer, during an ongoing pandemic, it is important to mitigate increases in amotivation and external regulation and to facilitate intrinsic motivation.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we describe and critically reflect on the possibilities and challenges of developing and implementing an empowerment-based school intervention regarding healthy food and physical activity (PA), involving participants from a Swedish multicultural area characterized by low socioeconomic status. The 2-year intervention was continually developed and implemented, as a result of cooperation and shared decision making among researchers and the participants. All 54 participants were seventh graders, and the intervention comprised health coaching, health promotion sessions and a Facebook group. We experienced that participants valued collaborating with peers, and that they took responsibility in codeveloping and implementing the intervention. Participants expressed feeling listened to, being treated with respect and taken seriously. However, we also experienced a number of barriers that challenged our initial intentions of aiding participation and ambition to support empowerment. Moreover, it was challenging to use structured group health coaching and to work with goal-setting in groups of participants with shared, and sometimes competing, goals, wishes and needs related to food and PA. Successful experiences from this intervention was the importance of acquiring a broad and deep understanding of the context and participants, being open to negotiating, as well as adjusting the intervention. © The Author(s) 2019.
