Low-level cadmium exposure and osteoporosis.
- 2000
-
In: Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. - 0884-0431 .- 1523-4681. ; 15, s. 1579-1586

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Osteoporosis is a major cause of morbidity worldwide. A number of risk factors, such as age and gender, are well established. High cadmium exposure causes renal damage and in severe cases also causes osteoporosis and osteomalacia, We have examined whether long-term Pow-level cadmium exposure increases the risk of osteoporosis. Bone mineral density (BMD) in the forearm was measured in 520 men and 544 women, aged 16-81 years, environmentally or occupationally exposed to cadmium, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) technique. Cadmium in urine was used as the dose estimate and protein HC was used: as a marker of renal tubular damage. There was a clear dose-response relation between cadmium dose and the prevalence of tubular proteinuria. Inverse relations were found between cadmium dose, tubular proteinuria, and BMD, particularly apparent in persons over 60 years of age, There was a dose-response relation between cadmium dose and osteoporosis. The odds ratios (ORs) for men were 2.2 (95% CI, 1.0-4.8) in the dose group 0.5-3 nmol Cd/mmol creatinine and 5.3 (2.0-14) in the highest dose category (greater than or equal to 3 nmol/mmol creatinine) compared with the lowest dose group (<0.5 nmol Cd/mmol creatinine). For women, the OR was 1.8 (0.65-5.3) in the dose group 0.53 nmol Cd/mmol creatinine. We conclude that exposure to low levels of cadmium is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis.

Acute pancreatitis - costs for healthcare and loss of production.
- 2013

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Abstract Objective. Severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) can vary from a mild to a fulminant disease with high morbidity and mortality. Cost analysis has, however, hitherto been sparse. The aim of this study was to calculate the cost of acute pancreatitis, both including hospital costs and costs due to loss of production. Material and methods. All adult patients treated at Skane University Hospital, Lund, during 2009-2010, were included. A severity grading was conducted and cost analysis was performed on an individual basis. Results. Two hundred and fifty-two patients with altogether 307 admissions were identified. Mean age was 60 ± 19 years, and 121 patients (48%) were men. Severe AP (SAP) was diagnosed in 38 patients (12%). Thirteen patients (5%) died. Acute biliary pancreatitis was more costly than alcohol induced AP (p < 0.001). Total costs for treating mild AP (MAP) in patients ≤65 years old was lower (p = 0.001) and costs for SAP was higher (p = 0.024), as compared to older patients. The overall hospital cost and cost for loss of production was per person in mean €5,100 ± 2,400 for MAP and €28,200 ± 38,100 for SAP (p < 0.001). The costs for treating AP during the two-year-long study period were in mean €9,762 ± 19,778 per patient. Extrapolated to a national perspective, the annual financial burden for AP in Sweden would be ∼ €38,500,000; corresponding to €4,100,000 per million inhabitants. Conclusions. The costs of treating AP are high, especially in severe cases with a long ICU stay. These results highlight the need to optimize care and continue the identification and focus on SAP, in order to try to limit organ failure and infectious complications.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Mortality caused by acute pancreatitis in patients admitted to the hospital has been thoroughly investigated, but knowledge regarding outpatient fatalities is far from complete. The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and clinical characteristics of patients who have died due to acute pancreatitis occurring outside the hospital. METHODS: Deaths caused by acute pancreatitis in the southern part of Sweden during 1994-2008 were identified at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Lund. A retrospective review of all cases was performed. RESULTS: A total of 50 patients were included, representing approximately 50 of 292 (17%) of all deaths due to acute pancreatitis in the region during this period of time. Median age was 54 (47-69) years and the majority-37 (74%)-were men. The main etiology was alcohol, seen in at least 35 (70%) patients. Twelve (24%) patients were obese. The duration of abdominal pain, in evaluable cases, was 3.0 (1.6-6.2) days. Profound signs of pancreatitis were seen in all patients; 35 (70%) had a necrotising disease according to histopathological examination. Pulmonary changes were common, e.g., bronchopneumonia, pleural effusion, or edema, and all but four had fatty liver. Massive intra-abdominal bleeding was seen in one patient. At least eight patients had a mental disorder, and three were homeless. CONCLUSIONS: Fatal acute pancreatitis occurring outside the hospital accounts for a substantial part of all deaths due to the disease. The incidence seems to decline, and no variation in season was seen. Alcohol was the predominant etiology. Many of the patients lived alone and in poor social conditions.

Cancer incidence among Swedish pulp and paper mill workers: a cohort study of sulphate and sulphite mills.
- 2013
-
In: International archives of occupational and environmental health. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1432-1246 .- 0340-0131. ; 86:5, s. 529-40

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Associations between various malignancies and work in the pulp and paper industry have been reported but mostly in analyses of mortality rather than incidence. We aimed to study cancer incidence by main mill pulping process, department and gender in a Swedish cohort of pulp and paper mill workers.The cohort (18,113 males and 2,292 females, enrolled from 1939 to 1999 with >1year of employment) was followed up for cancer incidence from 1958 to 2001. Information on the workers' department and employment was obtained from the mills' personnel files, and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated using the Swedish population as reference.Overall cancer incidence, in total 2,488 cases, was not increased by work in any department. However, risks of pleural mesothelioma were increased among males employed in sulphate pulping (SIR, 8.38; 95% CI, 3.37-17) and maintenance (SIR, 6.35; 95% CI, 3.47-11), with no corresponding increase of lung cancer. Testicular cancer risks were increased among males employed in sulphate pulping (SIR, 4.14; 95% CI, 1.99-7.61) and sulphite pulping (SIR, 2.59; 95% CI, 0.95-5.64). Female paper production workers showed increased risk of skin tumours other than malignant melanoma (SIR, 2.92; 95% CI, 1.18-6.02).Incidence of pleural mesothelioma was increased in the cohort, showing that asbestos exposure still has severe health consequences, and highlighting the exigency of strict asbestos regulations and elimination. Testicular cancer was increased among pulping department workers. Shift work and endocrine disruptors could be of interest in this context.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- PURPOSE: To study cancer mortality among Swedish pulp and paper mill workers by main mill pulping process and department, and to present the Swedish part of an international exposure measurements database. METHODS: A cohort of 18,163 male and 2,290 female workers at four sulfate and four sulfite mills, enrolled from 1939 to 1999, was followed up for mortality during 1952-2001. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) relative to the general Swedish population were calculated. RESULTS: There were 1,340 malignant cases out of 5,898 deaths. Total cancer mortality was not increased in either sulfate or sulfite mill workers, or by gender. Lung cancer mortality was increased among female workers (SMR 1.70, 95% CI 1.04-2.63), especially in paper production, but not among male workers (SMR 0.91, 95% CI 0.79-1.04). Exposure to wood dust and sulfur dioxide frequently exceeded occupational exposure limits. CONCLUSIONS: Female paper production workers had an increased mortality from lung cancer.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objectives The aim of this study was to determine mortality among pulp and paper mill workers according to the main mill pulping process, department, and gender, particular reference being given to diseases of the circulatory and respiratory systems.Methods The cohort of 18 163 men and 2 291 women employed between 1939 and 1999 and with >1 year of employment was followed for mortality from 1952 to 2001 (acute myocardial infarction from 1969). Standardized mortality ratios (SMR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated by comparing the observed number of deaths with the expected number for the entire Swedish population. Exposure was assessed from personnel files in the mills. Data from an exposure measurement database are also presented.Results There were 5898 deaths in the cohort. Total mortality had an SMR of 1.02 (95% CI 0.98–1.06) for the men in the sulfate mills and an SMR of 0.93 (95% CI 0.90–0.97) for the men in the sulfite mills. Mortality from acute myocardial infarction was increased among the men in both the sulfate and sulfite mills [SMR 1.22 (95% CI 1.12–1.32) and SMR 1.11 (95% CI 1.02–1.21), respectively] and by department in sulfate pulping (SMR 1.29, 95% CI 1.07–1.54), paper production (SMR 1.26, 95% CI 1.06–1.49), and maintenance (SMR 1.16, 95% CI 1.02–1.30). Mortality from cerebrovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and nonmalignant respiratory diseases was not increased.Conclusions Death from acute myocardial infarction, but not cerebrovascular diseases, was increased in this cohort and was probably related to a combination of different occupational exposures (eg, dust, sulfur compounds, shift work, and noise).

Honour-related violence and oppression : a controversial issue in educational contexts
- 2013
-
In: Programme and abstract book.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In relation to the much noticed honour killings in Sweden the government and the Swedish National Agency for Education have initiated research and also educational initiatives for headmasters and teachers in schools on the subject. We have in cooperation with the Swedish National Agency for Education developed syllabuses and organized short term courses around “Honour-related violence and oppression” and “Sexuality education, relations and values” for mainly headmasters, teachers, students, nurses and counselors working in schools. In light of these experiences we see a great need for developing a knowledge area in social studies subjects on honour-related problems for compulsory school as well as for higher education. Therefore we have initiated a research project with the aim of addressing this challenging question. Useful theoretical perspectives focus on gender, diversity, power, othering and culturalization, as well as inclusion, co-existence and citizenship. Research questions include the overall need for education in these issues in relation to various levels of educations and to various school subjects. Another question focuses on how to develop a research based content of knowledge grounded in an ethical awareness and sensitiveness regarding this controversial issue in social studies subjects. Apart from developing a knowledge area the project strives to highlight good experiences from schools that have experiences working with this issue. Preliminary results from questionnaires and interviews will be analyzed and discussed in this paper.

Kunskapsområdet sexualitet och samlevnad i lärarutbildningen : En kartläggning av kursplaner och resonemang kring innehåll
- 2020
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Denna rapport har som syfte att kartlägga kunskapsområdet sexualitet och samlevnad i svensk lärarutbildning 2016 med särskilt fokus på hiv, STI och SRHR. Resultatet visar att det finns skillnader mellan olika lärosäten, såväl i antal förekomster av indikatorer för kunskapsområdet i olika kurser som på olika utbildningsprogram och stadier. Flera lärosäten har kursplaner som skriver fram ett omfattande innehåll som rör kunskapsområdet sexualitet och samlevnad, medan andra lärosäten presenterar kursplaner med ett betydligt mer begränsat innehåll.I resultatdiagram synliggörs tydligt två kluster av indikatorer med höga antal förekomster i kursplanerna. Det ena klustret av indikatorer är etik, genus, demokrati, normer, normkritik, det andra värdegrund, barnkonventionen, mänskliga rättigheter, diskriminering och kränkande behandling. Dessa indikatorer förekommer vanligtvis i utbildningsvetenskapliga kurser på alla nivåer samt i olika samhällsorienterande kurser och i akademiska ämneskurser som historia, religionsvetenskap och samhällsvetenskap. Indikatorer som hivprevention, STI, graviditet och preventivmedel saknas helt i de undersökta kursplanerna, i både grundlärarutbildning och ämneslärarutbildning. De förekommer inte heller i biologi, naturkunskap eller i de naturorienterande ämnena för grundlärare i årskurserna 4-6.Utifrån kartläggningens resultat 2016 föreslås följande:1. Kunskapsområdet sex och samlevnad behöver ringas in så att åtminstone en slags baskurs innehållande moment som rör stora delar av indikatorerna i denna kartläggning kan konstrueras. Denna bör vara obligatorisk för alla blivande lärare.2. I enlighet med januariöverenskommelsen om att sex- och samlevnadsundervisning ska bli obligatorisk på alla lärarutbildningsprogram bör UKÄ lägga till ett examensmål, som behandlar kunskapsområdet sexualitet och samlevnad i examensordningen för lärarutbildningar för alla olika stadier inom den svenska skolan. Examensmålen bör omfatta såväl kunskap om och förståelse av sexualitet och forskningsbaserad undervisning, som färdighet och förmåga att undervisa om kunskapsområdet. (Ett examensmål om kunskapsområdet lades till i september 2020.)3. För att tillgodose god kvalitet och gedigen kompetens hos såväl lärarutbildare som lärarstudenter behövs kontinuerliga och fördjupade utbildningsinsatser.4. Ett nationellt centrum för kunskapsområdet sexualitet och relationer föreslås. Detta centrum bör vara ämnesövergripande och tvärvetenskapligt samt också fokusera på didaktik. Ett sådant centrum skulle kunna utgöra ett kunskapsstöd för lärarutbildningarna, särskilt under den inledande fasen, när sexualitet och relationer ska bli obligatoriskt och etableras på alla lärarutbildningar. Ett sådant centrum skulle öka möjligheten att alla lärarutbildningarna bygger upp och har tillräckligt hög kompetens inom kunskapsområdet. Ett nationellt centrum skulle dessutom vara ett stöd för verksamma lärare och skulle även kunna erbjuda fortbildning.5. För att utveckla kunskapsområdet sexualitet och samlevnad behövs ny och aktuell forskning som också kopplas till internationell pågående forskning. Denna forskning kan vara både ämnesinriktad och skolinriktad och av både kvantitativ och kvalitativ art.6. Den osäkerhet som lärare enligt Skolinspektionens rapport har när det gäller att undervisa om normer och om hbtq-frågor visar att lärarutbildningarna måste ha tydliga inslag som ger kunskaper om hur olika normer kan påverka och begränsa eleverna och även deras lärande.Avslutningsvis visar resultatet av kartläggningen från 2016 en bild av att kunskapsområdet sexualitet och samlevnad förekommer i alla programutbildningar för blivande lärare. Dessutom visar kartläggningen hur kunskapsområdet uttrycks i kursplaners olika delar genom förekomsten av antalet indikatorer enligt konstruktiv länkning. Tillsammans med de sex förslagen på åtgärder ovan kan därmed kartläggningens syften anses vara uppnådda.

Relations, Values and Sex Education : Changes and challenges in school curricula and the Swedish political context 2014
- 2014
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Relations, values and sex education: Changes and challenges in school curricula and the Swedish political context 2014. The government and the Swedish National Agency for Education have initiated research and also educational initiatives on gender equality, anti-discrimination laws, diversity in relation to sex education. In cooperation with the Swedish National Agency for Education we have developed syllabuses and organized short term courses at Malmö University, Sweden, around “Honor-related violence and oppression” and “Sexuality education, relations and values” for mainly headmasters, teachers, students, nurses and counselors working in schools . In light of these experiences we see a great need for developing a knowledge area in social studies on relations and sex education with norm critical perspectives and honour-related problems for compulsory school as well as for higher education. On basis of course evaluations we have found that the most valued content is education around norm critical perspectives and identities. This is most important in the Swedish diverse classrooms of today. We have initiated a research project with the aim of addressing relations, values and sex education in different schools subjects, such as social studies. Useful theoretical perspectives focus on body, gender, diversity, power, equality, othering and culturalization, as well as inclusion, exclusion, co-existence, democray and marginalization. One important outcome, as we see it, is to develop a research based knowledge area grounded in an ethical awareness and sensitiveness in social studies. In addition to developing this knowledge area, the project strives to highlight good experiences/best practices from teachers and schools that have worked with these issues. Preliminary results from evaluation sheets and questionnaires will be analyzed and discussed in this paper.

Apocalypse Now : fakta, ideologi och domedagsscenarier i klimatförändringarnas kölvatten
- 2007
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Föreningen för lärares (FLR´s Årsbok) 2007 handlar om debatterna om klimatförändringarna där många olika klimatforskare och miljövetare samsas med samhällsvetare, humanister och religionsvetare. Vad händer när naturkatastrofer av olika slag inträffar? Vi kan också lägga demokratiska och globala aspekter på klimatförändringarna och understryka den enskilda människans ansvar i sammanhanget. Mer filosofiska och teologiska aspekter kan också relateras till dessa frågor. Var går gränsen mellan en allt för ihärdig skrämselpropaganda, och ett mer nyanserat samtal om ett gemensamt ansvar för världens framtid? Dessa och andra frågor fokuseras i ett antal kortare artiklar i denna årsbok.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas – a cost-effectiveness analysis of management strategies for the branch-duct subtype
- 2018
-
In: HPB. - : Elsevier BV. - 1365-182X. ; 20:12, s. 1206-1214
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) presents a clinical conundrum. Rigorous long-term surveillance or surgical resection is recommended. The economic consequences of the management have not been fully investigated. Methods: A Markov decision model compared 4 strategies for low-risk BD-IPMN: I = upfront total pancreatectomy, II = upfront partial pancreatectomy, III = initial surveillance, IV = watchful waiting. Surveillance was based on the Swedish Guidelines for Pancreatic Cancer. Probabilities and costs were obtained from the participating unit and from the scientific literature. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated and sensitivity analyses were performed by varying relevant parameters. Survival was reported in quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs). Results: Strategy III was the most cost-effective strategy with an ICER of €31 682 compared to strategy IV. Strategy I was the most expensive but yielded the best QALY (9.32). Total number of years, annual risk of pancreatic cancer and annual risk of a low-risk BD-IPMN turning into a high-risk lesion had the greatest impact in the model. Conclusions: Initial surveillance seems to be the most cost-effective strategy in the management of low-risk asymptomatic BD-IPMN. However, the possibility of personalized approaches remains to be investigated.

Further validation of the visual analogue scale for irritable bowel syndrome after use in clinical practice
- 2013
-
In: Gastroenterology Nursing. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. - 1042-895X .- 1538-9766. ; 36:3, s. 188-198
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Visual Analogue Scale for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (VAS-IBS), a self-rating questionnaire, was designed to measure symptoms and the effect of treatment in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. The aim of this descriptive correlational study was to conduct further psychometric validation after the VAS-IBS had been used in clinical practice, translate it into English, and compare the results with controls. Forty-nine patients with irritable bowel syndrome (median age = 38 years old [range, 18-69 years]) were compared with 90 healthy persons (median age = 44 years old [range, 21-77 years]) who served as controls. The patients with irritable bowel syndrome completed 3 questionnaires: the VAS-IBS, the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale, and the Perception of Change of Symptoms. Controls completed only the VAS-IBS. Results showed that the VAS-IBS is a valid questionnaire that measures the degree of change of symptoms and discriminates between patients who have irritable bowel syndrome from those who do not. It is important to compare the VAS-IBS among different cultural populations so we suggest that the English version of the VAS-IBS should now be used in English-speaking countries and be further tested for validity and reliability with English-speaking patients.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- As cardio metabolic disease manifestations tend to cluster in families there is a need to better understand the underlying mechanisms in order to further develop preventive strategies. In fact, genetic markers used in genetic risk scores, important as they are, will not be able alone to explain these family clusters. Therefore, the search goes on for the so called missing heritability to better explain these associations. Shared lifestyle and social conditions in families, but also early life influences may be of importance. Gene-environmental interactions should be explored. In recent years interest has grown for the role of diet-microbiota associations, as microbiota patterns may be shared by family members. In the Malmö Offspring Study that started in 2013, we have so far been able to examine about 4700 subjects (18-71 years) representing children and grandchildren of index subjects from the first generation, examined in the Malmö Diet Cancer Study during 1991 to 1996. This will provide rich data and opportunities to analyse family traits of chronic disease across three generations. We will provide extensive genotyping and phenotyping including cardiovascular and respiratory function, as well as markers of glucose metabolism. In addition, also cognitive function will be assessed. A 4-day online dietary recall will be conducted and gut as well as oral microbiota analysed. The ambition is to provide one of the first large-scale European family studies with individual data across three generations, which could deepen our knowledge about the role of family traits for chronic disease and its underlying mechanisms.

Exposure to asbestos and lung and pleural cancer mortality among pulp and paper industry workers
- 2002
-
In: Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. - 1076-2752 .- 1536-5948. ; 44:6, s. 579-584
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We studied the mortality from lung and pleural cancers in a cohort of 62, 937 male workers employed for at least 1 year in the pulp and paper industry in 13 countries during 1945 to 1996. Mill departments were classified according to probability and level of exposure to asbestos on the basis of available dust measurements and mill-specific information on exposure circumstances. Thirty-six percent of workers were classified as ever exposed to asbestos. Standardized mortality ratios of lung cancer were 0.99 (95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.90 to 1.08) among unexposed and 1.00 (95 % CI, 0.90 to 1.11) among ever exposed workers. The number of pleural cancer deaths among unexposed workers was 10, that among exposed workers was 14, most of which occurred among maintenance workers. In internal analyses, a trend in mortality from either neoplasm was suggested for estimated cumulative exposure to asbestos, weighted for the individual probability of exposure within the department and for duration of exposure (relative risk for lung cancer for 0.78+ f/cc-years, as compared with = 0.01 f/cc-years: 1.44, 95 % CI, 0.85 to 2.45, corresponding relative risk for pleural cancer: 2.43, 95% CI, 0.43 to 13.63). Despite a possible nondifferential misclassification of exposure and outcome, this study suggests that the carcinogenic effect of asbestos can be detected among workers employed in industries such as the pulp and paper industry, in which it is not considered to be a major hazard.

-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article introduces the Conference theme and the over all theme of the articles in this Double Volume, of Acta Americana which also is a Special Issue with contributions from the International Conference of the American Anthropological Association, that was held in New Orleans in November 2002, organized by John F. Chuchiak, Missouri State University, and Servando Hinojosa, Texas PanAm University. All these contributions are focused on various categories of medicinal rituals found in the Mesoamerican area, but the majority of those focuses on Maya rituals. Also the perspectives in the articles varies from ancient time to present time and in many cases the researchers argues for a long term continuity in these rituals, based on both archival records, epigraphy, iconography and contemporary fieldwork.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article draws upon group conversations with young people (11–19 years old) from Europe, focusing on the Nordic countries. The participants’ identity perception showed more aspects as the deliberative, non-structured conversations advanced. From initially showing limited aspects of identity as being related to geographical and temporal aspects, a broader comprehension of identities as constructed, multiple, and at times subject to negotiation and change came to the fore during the discussions. Examples given showed an awareness that people, such as older relatives, develop diverse ways of thinking and acting due to historical and cultural contexts. Understanding that there is an intersection between psychosocial, post-structural, and sociocultural explanations for how identity formation progresses, we propose pedagogical actions working with controversial issues and values, raising critical consciousness of the context. During the conversations, a majority expressed that controversial issues were not something they dealt with at school. By working with controversial issues, the content of conflicts is made visible, and the possibility for students to recognize and respect each other’s diverse identities and perceptions increases. The goal of bringing controversial issues into education and conducting good discussions in the classroom is to help students develop and assess their opinions, gain an increased understanding, and consider new perspectives on various issues.

Photoacoustic imaging for three-dimensional visualization and delineation of basal cell carcinoma in patients
- 2020
-
In: Photoacoustics. - : Elsevier BV. - 2213-5979. ; 18
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is an emerging non-invasive biomedical imaging modality that could potentially be used to determine the borders of basal cell carcinomas (BCC) preoperatively in order to reduce the need for repeated surgery.Methods: Two- and three-dimensional PA images were obtained by scanning BCCs using 59 wavelengths in the range 680-970 nm. Spectral unmixing was performed to visualize the tumor tissue distribution. Spectral signatures from 38 BCCs and healthy tissue were compared ex vivo.Results and discussion: The PA spectra could be used to differentiate between BCC and healthy tissue ex vivo (p < 0.05). Spectral unmixing provided visualization of the overall architecture of the lesion and its border.Conclusion: PA imaging can be used to differentiate between BCC and healthy tissue and can potentially be used to delineate tumors prior to surgical excision.

Democratic and Inclusive Religious Education in the Secular State – The Case of Sweden

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- How can a secular democratic state inform its fundamental values to migrants with past affiliation in societies marked by religious norms and values? In Sweden, migrants are offered a (non-compulsory) course in civic orientation. Research has shown a need for professionalization of this type of education. A dimension of professionalization can, we urge, be described in terms of religious literacy. The development of a course in civic orientation, where norms and values are discussed with respect to human rights, presupposes that methods are developed to draw attention to the complexity, and the ambiguity, of relations between religious and secular ethical positions. Teachers need knowledge of religiously motivated beliefs in ethical issues and of ways in which these are made visible in the multidimensional practice of lived religion. Sweden, perceived as a highly secular country, has taken in many migrants from countries with traditional religious values. Through interviews, the Institute for Future Studies has identified some areas where religiosity is one parameter for the way these people rethink ethically relevant perceptions. These are values of self-determination and the individual’s own choices – such as abortion, divorce, premarital sex and homosexuality, and with those contiguous rights that are perceived as non-negotiable in the secular democratic discourse. This chapter analyses the secular state’s mission to inform new arrivals about democratic values in relation to human rights in the Swedish discourse. The analysis is based on a multidimensional understanding of the concept of religious literacy, with reference to a discussion about the distinction between having a right to live with or without religion. One aim is to explore challenges and opportunities to discern in the current discourse how religion can contribute to the development of the secular state and how secular value teaching can contribute to the development of religious approaches to human rights.

Från Kingston till Göinge : autencitet, identitet och representationer av det förflutna i svensk reggaekultur
- 2022
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis explores the role of history in popular culture with a particular focus on the Swedish reggae scene. It examines how cultural meaning applied to music bears strong connections to historical representations, and how individuals understand, communicate, and reproduce selective notions of the past in relationship to popular music. History is viewed as an essential cultural component in this thesis, a component equipped with the ability to articulate political resistance, and express a sense of identity and belonging. The overall purpose is to examine how history is constructed, represented and used in the Swedish reggae scene, and how notions of origin and authenticity are expressed. The empirical chapters examine how different representations of the past in Swedish reggae relates to notions of origin, place and authenticity. These representations are constructed through social interactions, but also through interaction with texts, objects, and cultural practices.As the thesis shows, different representations of pasts and notions of origins exists in Swedish reggae, connecting to various geographical, cultural, and historical contexts. The hybridization of reggae becomes an important factor that contributes to making Swedish reggae something special and unique. In the Swedish reggae scene, which is predominatly white, the hybridization can be understood as an attempt to free oneself from aspects of reggae associated with Black experiences of white oppression. The use of local, regional, and national cultural expressions and representations of the past creates a distance to the Jamaican reggae traditions, and the historical narratives of slavery, colonialism and racial discrimination that reinforces the Black identification in Jamaican reggae. Instead, by relating to Swedish historical milieus, traditions and events, a closer and more relatable understanding of reggae is created. However, the thesis also shows that not all actors who consume and produce reggae in Sweden identify with the Swedish hybrid version. In such cases, its typical Swedishness is seen as an undesirable departure from the history and traditions of Jamaican reggae. Jamaican reggae is then perceived as a cultural heritage that should be preserved and respected in its original form - not in a copied or remodelled version.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Förordet innehåller en historisk översikt över hur begreppet ursprungsfolkens religioner har utvecklats från att tidigare ha benämnts som t.ex. primitiva religoner och naturfolkens religioner. I detta kapitel belyses också hur ursprungsfolkens religioner har förändrats över tid men att många traditioner kan spåras från tidigkolonial tid till vår samtid. Här beskrivs också kortfattat vad de sju olika kapitlen i boken behandlar; samisk religion, mikmaq, nordamerikansk andlighet, två kapitel behandlar mayafolkets religion dels med fokus på Yucatan, dels med fokus i Guatemala, och två kapitel behandlar maoriernas religion men från olika perspektiv.

Mellan rörelse och stillhet : minne och flykt i unga människors berättande 2009-2021.

Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The purpose of this thesis is to highlight young people’s experiences of forced migration along irregular migration routes and to examine how they understand themselves in relation to different contexts in time and space. The participants consist of young people with experience of forced migration and of being categorized as ”ensamkommande barn” (unaccompanied minors) upon arrival in Sweden. Using oral and written sources, the thesis explores what and how they remember. The theoretical perspectives are connected by movement as an overarching metaphor. Movement refers to the physical movements made by the participants as well as the assumption that movement characterizes the process of remembering. This is connected to oral history theory and method and the exploration of the past as well as the relationship between past and present in everyday lives. The thesis also leans on several theoretical perspectives from cultural memory studies, which highlight the process in which an individual memory is shaped and reshaped depending on social context and over time. In order to explore how the participants remember different places and times, from origin to destination, a systems approach to migrant trajectories has been applied as a heuristic tool.The analysis shows that there are shared historical contexts despite the fact that the participants make a heterogenous group. During the period of investigation, migration to and within Europe has been characterized by restrictions and control. This means that the participants have travelled via irregular routes, and they have been confronted with strict border controls. When the participants arrived in Sweden, migration policy underwent significant changes that led to consequences for the participants themselves. Furthermore, those labelled ”ensamkommande barn” were at the center of the migration policy debate in the wake of the so called ”refugee crisis” in 2015. An important conclusion in this dissertation is that to a large extent, movements in time and space have led to a development of how the participants understand themselves. In addition to movements over time, shifts in social contexts bring changes to what and how the participants remember. To conclude, this thesis contributes to research on ”ensamkommande barn” as it illuminates the different ways in which the participants understand themselves and experience a sense of belonging. Another contribution is the thesis' approach to historical contextualization and the understanding of the participants as actors in relation to larger historical change.

Studiebesök i religionskunskapsundervisningen : Elevers tal om islam före, under och efter ett moskébesök
- 2014
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- One aim with the Swedish non-confessional religious education is to increase students’ understanding and respect for different ways of thinking and behaving. One opportunity to reflect upon other people's interpretations of life, are field visits. Many teachers and students want to make field visits but few actually do. This thesis explores educational opportunities and challenges generated by field visits as part of religious education.This is a classroom study in an upper secondary school (the students were 17 years old), during the teaching sequence about Islam where one part was a field visit to a mosque. Data were produced by classroom observations and observations from a mosque visit, students’ journal writing’s before and after the visit and student interviews. The students’ utterances about Islam are analysed using Michael Bachtin’s dialogue theory and Robert Jackson’s interpretive approach.The analysis shows that students apply a speech genre, which in this study is denoted genre of politeness. In some cases the genre of politeness affect the students such that they do not dare to ask all questions, in particular questions about Islam and gender. Another result is that students more widely apply a self-reflexive speech genre during and after the mosque visit as compared to before the visit. By self-reflexive speech is meant that the students mirror what they have met in the mosque with their own interpretations of life. The analysis also shows that the several students express critical opinions about Islam both before and after the mosque visit and the teaching sequence.The study explores educational opportunities and challenges generated by the mosque visit. Some of the themes that are discussed in the thesis are: 1) questions about representations of religion, for instance in what way “lived religion” and religion as a “philosophical ideal” can be combined, 2) the students’ different ways of reflection, 3) how do students relate and rely on the faith representative’s utterances, and 4) how students formulate questions to the faith representative.

Didaktisk bildning som alternativ till PCK
- 2016
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Vilka kunskaper är det som skapar själva lärarprofessionen? I högskoleförordningen (SFS 1993:100) benämns en del av det som ”kunskaper i didaktik och ämnesdidaktik inklusive metodik” och det spänner alltså från övergripande undervisningsperspektiv till den enskilda lärarens praktik. Vi är intresserade av hur ”det stora” (värdegrund, kunskaper om globala utmaningar, ”citizenship education”, didaktiska teorier etc., eller om man så vill didaktisk bildning) kommer till uttryck i ”det lilla”, alltså praxis. Vi använder begreppet didaktisk bildning som ett fylligare och mer mångbottnat alternativ till det anglosaxiska ”Pedagogical Content Knowledge” (PCK), som under senare år har gjort tydliga insteg i svensk ämnesdidaktisk forskning. PCK tar sin utgångspunkt i frågan vilka didaktiska kunskaper som den gode ämnesläraren behöver. Kansanen (2009) menar att PCK fokuserar på den didaktiska hur-frågan, medan den tyska didaktiktraditionen är inriktad på varför-frågan och dess följder för praxis. Med begreppet didaktisk bildning vill vi således anslå ett perspektiv som riktar blicken såväl inåt – mot det som sker i klassrummet – som utåt – mot exempelvis debatt, diskurser och traditioner som påverkar läraren. Den didaktiskt bildade läraren har en mångfacetterad förståelse för undervisningsämnet (inklusive goda kunskaper både i och om ämnet) och problematiserar dess selektiva traditioner. Hen har kunskap, bildning och handlingskompetens att självständigt fatta didaktiska beslut som gör att ”det stora” kommer till uttryck i ”det lilla”. Tillsammans representerar vi tre olika ämnesdidaktiska spår: språk- och litteraturdidaktik, SO-didaktik respektive NO-didaktik.

Heliga platser : pilgrimsfärder och andliga resor i vår samtid
- 2009
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Temat för årsboken för Föreningen lärare i religionskunskap, FLR, är just heliga platser och pilgrimsfärder och andliga resor över huvud taget. Sju författare skriver om sina erfarenheter vid så vitt skilda platser som Jerusalem, Bodhgaya, Amritsar, Chichén Itzá, och The Great Blasket Island utanför Irlands västkust. I sina texter diskuterar författarna kring vad platsen kan betyda för människors tro och upplevelser av andlighet liksom om vad just den andliga resan kan betyda för den enskilda människan, må hon vara en pilgrim på medveten planlagd resa eller en av våra klassiska svenska författare och diktare som skriver om hemlängtan eller fantasiland i sitt författarskap.

Cadmium exposure and end-stage renal disease
- 2001

In: American Journal of Kidney Diseases. - 0272-6386 .- 1523-6838. ; 38:5, s. 1001-1008

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Environmental exposure to cadmium may cause kidney damage and tubular proteinuria. We investigated the relationship between low-level cadmium exposure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), indicated by renal replacement therapy (RRT), in a Swedish population environmentally or occupationally exposed to cadmium. Based on records of all persons in the population previously or presently employed in cadmium-battery production or residing in cadmium-polluted areas near the battery plants, we defined exposure as high (occupational), moderate (domicile < 2 km from a plant), low (domicile 2 to 10 km from a plant), or no exposure (domicile > 10 km from a plant). Comprehensive data were available for all individuals undergoing RRT since 1978. The annual incidence of RRT increased from 41 per million in the age group 20 to 29 years to 243 per million in the age group 70 to 79 years and was greater in a priori-defined populations with cadmium exposure. Adjusting for age and sex gave an increased Mantel-Haenszel rate ratio (MH-RR) of 1.8 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 to 2.3) for RRT in the cadmium-exposed population compared with the unexposed group, the MH-RR was even higher for women (MH-RR, 2.3, 95% CI, 1.5 to 3.5). Directly age-standardized rate ratios for RRT and cadmium exposure increased from 1.4 (95% CI, 0.8 to 2.0) in the low-exposure group to 1.9 (95% CI, 1.3 to 2.5) and 2.3 (95% CI, 0.6 to 6.0) in the moderate- and high-exposure groups, respectively. We conclude that exposure to occupational or relatively low environmental levels of cadmium appears to be a determinant for the development of ESRD. ⌐ 2001 by the National Kidney Foundation, Inc.
