Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- With the public release of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, most notably ChatGPT in 2022, interest in the technologies has swept across various organizations like wildfire. Higher education institutions and their libraries are no exception. Many academic library staff have found ways to develop their competence around AI and investigate what AI development will mean for academic libraries. Yet, if developing a better understanding for (generative) AI at academic libraries broadly is a goal for the organization, then the question arises of how a large proportion of a library’s staff can be reached, rather than a few engaged individuals, and what aspects of AI will then be relevant to address. These are questions that we have faced in a collaboration between three libraries at universities in western Sweden. In the presentation we will share experiences from this collaborative effort to further professional development among staff members concerning AI in libraries. The program runs during the academic year 2023/2024 and contains several online lectures and two active learning classroom (ALC) sessions. The lectures were streamed live to all staff and were also recorded and made available for the three institutions. The ALC sessions, which allow for active engagement with the technologies as well as other participants on campus, required registration and were attended by a subset of the staff. Although not all staff attended all or even parts of the program, it aimed to reach library staff beyond those who are particularly motivated to learn about AI. Apart from facilitating participation by making it less reliant on participation and time, the lectures and ALC sessions connected closely to issues of relevance in academic libraries, rather than at the university at large, and in different areas of responsibility to boot. They also linked to the local situation at the three universities, thus making them more immediately useful for the everyday work tasks. The fact that the sessions were planned and, for the most part, implemented internally has facilitated maintaining a local focus. Aspects of AI have been addressed from the perspective of their relevance to various library stakeholders (students, researchers, library staff), ongoing development projects have been presented, and issues around bias, privacy, security, and AI literacy have been discussed. In the presentation, we will discuss the challenges of designing content for professional development around AI at a time when so much is happening and happening fast, at the same time as much actual implementation in the library field is in its infancy. We will also share our approach to these challenges, with a particular focus on how to make the content relevant to academic library staff with varying professional backgrounds and working within different specialized areas of responsibility. The presentation aims to raise awareness of, but also problems involved with, how professional development can be conducted within an area such as AI which is at the same time ubiquitous and can be viewed as a very specialized area of expertise.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Debatten kring hur högre utbildning ska förhålla sig till olika tjänster som baseras på generativ AI har tagit fart sen lanseringen av ChatGPT i november 2022. Inte minst uppmärksammad är problematiken med att avgöra om texter speglar studentens lärande av det som ska examineras (t.ex. Linderoth, 2023; Weber-Wulff et al. 2023). En vanlig examinationsuppgift är att skriva någon form av litteraturöversikt, en uppgift som ofta innefattar att söka fram, välja ut och sammanfatta vetenskaplig litteratur och att utifrån denna genomföra en egen analys eller tolkning. Detta är en uppgift som AI-baserade tjänster blir allt bättre på att utföra, inklusive att föreslå referenser för att backa upp påståenden i texten. I förlängningen leder detta till att vi behöver fundera på vad som lärs vid användning av AI-tjänster jämfört med mer traditionella metoder för litteraturöversikter. Vad händer när studenterna inte själva söker upp, väljer ut och sammanfattar, utan istället låter en AI-tjänst göra det? Vilken kunskap behöver studenterna ha för att åstadkomma goda och tillförlitliga sammanfattningar och tolkningar av litteraturen med hjälp av AI-baserade tjänster? Vilka är våra roller som lärare och som bibliotekarier i processen? Workshoppen fokuserar på att prova att skapa en litteraturöversikt med stöd av någon AI-baserad tjänst och att diskutera erfarenheter av resultaten. Exempel hämtas från deltagarnas egna områden och erfarenheter. Workshoppens genomförande 1. Inledning samt kort presentation av ett urval AI-tjänster 2. Deltagarna testar verktygen och skapar begränsade litteraturöversikter med hjälp av en eller flera AI-tjänster. 3. Resultaten som genererats av de olika AI-tjänsterna jämförs med varandra och en diskussion förs kring implikationerna av att studenterna använder tjänsterna i utbildningen. Workshoppen riktar sig till - universitetslärare som hanterar någon form av uppgift som inkluderar litteraturöversikter - universitetslärare som är intresserade av de förändringar som AI-baserade tekniker får för högre utbildning - undervisande bibliotekarier Referenser Linderoth, J.

- Background: Traditional burials involving physical contact with deceased Ebola Virus Disease (Ebola) victims were linked to disease transmission during the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. An estimated 2 · 5 new cases of Ebola resulted from each traditional burial. Over 6,000 religious leaders across Sierra Leone were engaged to promote the use of specialised burial teams in order to avoid risky traditional practices. We aimed to quantify the impact of engaging religious leaders in promoting safe burials during the outbreak in Sierra Leone. Methods: We analysed population-based household survey data (N=3,540) collected around the peak of the outbreak in Sierra Leone in December 2014. Multilevel logistic regression modelling was used to examine if exposure to faith-based messages was associated with protective burial intentions and behaviours. Findings: Exposure to faith-based messages was associated with a nearly two-fold increase in the intention to accept safe alternatives to traditional burials and the intention to await burial teams for ≥2 days (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1·69, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1·23-2·31 and aOR 1·84; 95% CI 1·38-2·44 respectively). Behaviourally, exposure to faith-based messages was also associated with an increased reported avoidance of traditional burials and an increased reported avoidance of suspected Ebola patients (aOR 1·46, 95%CI 1·14-1·89, aOR 1·65 95% CI, CI 1·27-2·13 respectively).Interpretation: Faith-based messages promoted by religious leaders may have influenced safe burial intentions and protective behaviours during the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. Engagement of religious leaders in risk communication should be prioritised during health emergencies in similar settings.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The importance of introducing measures to increase the modal share of cycling has come to the fore in both policy and research in recent years. The benefits of increased cycling are wide-ranging; with cycling often considered to contribute to more attractive public spaces, increased safety, and more sustainable urban life.Different parts of the world are seeing an increase in the modal share of cycling. However, these increases are largely attributed to commuter traffic, with older persons somewhat underrepresented. There is, however, some evidence to suggest that developing strategies for cycling promotion across the lifespan, and particularly into later life, would allow people to continue travelling by bicycle as they age. While much is known about the car and the importance of the car in facilitating mobility in later life, much less is known about cycling and its role in the mobility of older persons.Employing a mixed method approach, this study aims to gain a greater insight into cycling as a mode of transport among those in later life. The study explores (1) the key differences between older cyclists and older noncyclists; (2) the perceptions of older cyclists in relation to cycling as a mode of transport; and (3) the factors which are associated with cycling cessation in later life.Malmö, a city in the south of Sweden with a strong emphasis on bicycle planning, is the study area. The city of Malmö is an interesting case as Malmö Municipality has put a strong emphasis on its aim for cycling to be apart of its inhabitants’ everyday lives.A survey aimed to capture the trends at play when it comes to cycling among those aged 65-85 living in Malmö city (N = 456). Two focus groups were carried out in order to gain a deeper insight into older persons’ perspectives and perceptions with respect to cycling. The focus group discussion guide comprised two main themes: ‘Reasons for cycling/not cycling’; and ‘The cycling experience in Malmö’.The key differences between older cyclists and older non-cyclists were focused around the factors of gender; health and activity; mobility opportunities; and life course and intentions.Cycling cessation was associated with those who do not participate in all desired activities, those who do not have access to a car in the household and those who do not associate cycling with health. The only variable associated with a higher odds of having ceased cycling was age, meaning that, by and large, the older the respondent the more likely he/she is to have ceased cycling.The study’s findings illustrated the very positive and important role cycling can play in the mobility of older persons in the city of Malmö. It is not only possible but also mostly enjoyable for many older people to cycle. Cycling is a facilitator of activities and is largely associated with convenience and ease.There are clear differences between cyclists and non-cyclists, with the former generally having a wider range of mobility opportunities available to them. Cycling cessation is anticipated as a very distressing, yet inevitable, life event by those who still cycle.The results of this study suggest that campaigns aimed at increasing the awareness and consideration of other road users towards older cyclists, as well as the introduction of clearer and more visible signage could support older cyclists in prolonging their cycling, as well as improving the experience they have as they do cycle. Increasing awareness of the health benefits of cycling could be another means of encouraging people to continue cycling as they age.

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall purpose of this licentiate thesis is to shed light on how reading is constructed in different year 1 school subjects. The focus of the study is reading and how teachers create conditions for students to understand text via text conversations and via textbook texts used in Mathematics, Swedish and Technology. The study aims to shed light on reading from a disciplinary literacy perspective. The study is conducted in two sub-studies. In the first sub-study three lessons in year 1 are analyzed in terms of how reading is constructed via the following research questions:1) How are the students invited into the text and text conversations through the teacher’s questions?2) What everyday language, school language and subject-specific words and concepts do the students encounter in the text conversations?The second sub-study analyzes text sections from ten textbook texts with associated written questions:1) What ways of using texts are encouraged by the questions in the text-book texts?2) What everyday language, school language and subject-specific words and concepts can be identified in the textbook texts?The analyzes are based on an adapted text mobility model (Folkeryd et al., 2006; Liberg et al., 2010; Liberg et al., 2012), adaptations of PIRLS processes of comprehension (PIRLS 2016; Mullis & Martin, 2017) and adaptations of Lindberg’s (2007) categorization of words and concepts in everyday, school language and subject-specific vocabulary. The results show that the teachers create conditions for text comprehension by initiating text conversations in whole groups and in pairs where information in texts is identified, words and concepts are defined, the texts are interpreted and more information is added to the texts. Based on the textbook texts, conditions for reading are created via the texts’ everyday language use and when subject-specific words and concepts occur, via the teacher’s alternating use of everyday and subject-specific words and concepts and through repetitions of the subject-specific ones.The teachers and the textbooks create different conditions for text comprehension in different subjects. In Mathematics the text is read carefully and repeatedly to identify information before calculation and finding the correct solution. In Swedish the text is read to be interpreted. In Technology the purpose of reading is to convey facts and innovative technology.
