- I ett ULF-projekt om proportionalitet i matematiken vid Malmö universitet har författarna tagit fram elevuppgifter om proportionella samband. Eleverna arbetar med dessa systematiskt genom att spela in sina lösningar som filmer till läraren. Dessa följs upp genom att diskutera olika strategier i helklass. Denna procedur upprepas så att läraren kan följa elevernas utveckling. Artikeln beskriver att eleverna lottas ihop parvis och får sedan en begränsad tid på sig för att spela in en film där de löser eller åtminstone försöker lösa problemet. Filmen spelas in med skärmen vinklad så att endast pappret och elevernas skrivande syns. Det betyder att elevernas röster finns med men inte deras ansikten.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- AbstractIn its elementary form, the idea of dimensional analysis is to look at the unit of a magnitude, for example speed, and conclude that speed measured in m/s is a quotient having meters in the numerator and seconds in the denominator. However, despite dimensional analysis being a not un-common theme for research in mathematics education at tertiary level teaching, it seems in practice absent below that level. This is surprising since dimensional analysis is useful in mathematical problem solving involving proportionality. Even more so since, from halves and doubles in preschool to scalar multiplication in upper secondary school, proportionality permeates school mathematics and is well-researched (Lamon, 2007). Hence, the authors initiated a research project on how to teach dimensional analysis in school years 6-12. The novelty of this area made us choose didactical engineering (Artigue, 2015) as a theoretical framework suitable for developing the teaching of dimensional analysis. Accordingly, in a cycle of a priori and a posteriori analyses, the authors are developing an empirically based teaching model for dimensional analysis including the topic of constructing exercises for students. We present results from this on-going development project. ReferencesArtigue, M. (2015). Perspectives on Design Research: The Case of Didactical Engineering. In A. Bikner-Ahsbahs, C. Knipping, N.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There is an urgent need to discover new anti-tubercular agents with novel mechanisms of action in order to tackle the scourge of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Here, we report the identification of such a molecule - an AminoPYrimidine-Sulfonamide (APYS1) that has potent, bactericidal activity against M. tuberculosis. Mutations in APYS1-resistant M. tuberculosis mapped exclusively to wag31, a gene that encodes a scaffolding protein thought to orchestrate cell elongation. Recombineering confirmed that a Gln201Arg mutation in Wag31 was sufficient to cause resistance to APYS1, however, neither overexpression nor conditional depletion of wag31 impacted M. tuberculosis susceptibility to this compound. In contrast, expression of the wildtype allele of wag31 in APYS1-resistant M. tuberculosis was dominant and restored susceptibility to APYS1 to wildtype levels. Time-lapse imaging and scanning electron microscopy revealed that APYS1 caused gross malformation of the old pole of M. tuberculosis, with eventual lysis. These effects resembled the morphological changes observed following transcriptional silencing of wag31 in M. tuberculosis. These data show that Wag31 is likely not the direct target of APYS1, but the striking phenotypic similarity between APYS1 exposure and genetic depletion of Wag31 in M. tuberculosis suggests that APYS1 might indirectly affect Wag31 through an as yet unknown mechanism.
