Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The national curricular guidelines for basic education and upper secondary school require teachers to have a readiness to teach and cooperate in accordance with a holistic multidisciplinary principle. The teacher education programmes in Finland are challenged to develop research-based knowledge about learning processes in holistic multidisciplinary teaching concerning both theory and practice. In this article, focus is put on comparisons between the subject-didactic perspectives of Art, Religion, History, and Social Studies. Referring to Lindström, the prepositions about, in, with and through are used as a point of departure for the aesthetic fields. The comparison is based on the prepositional perspective and particularly focusses on the understanding of the didactic emphases and ambitions. The subject-comparative reflection between similarities and differences is based on a socio-cultural view of learning, and the perspectives qualification, socialisation and subjectification by Giert Biesta. The article contributes to a consciousness about meaningful subject-didactic prerequisites for holistic multidisciplinary cooperation.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- c-myc protooncogene positively regulates cell proliferation and overexpression of c-myc is found in many solid tumors and leukemias. In the present study we used the K562 human myeloid leukemia cell line as a model to study the functional interaction between c-Myc and p53. Using two different methods, we generated K562 transfectant cell lines with conditional expression of either c-Myc or p53. The cells expressed the p53Vall35 mutant, which adopts a wild-type conformation at 32 degrees C, while c-Myc induction was achieved with a zinc-inducible expression vector. We found that p53 in wild-type conformation induces growth arrest and apoptosis of K562. Expression of c-Myc significantly attenuated apoptosis and impaired the transcriptional activity of p53 on p21WAF1, Bax and cytomegalovirus promoters. The impairment of p21WAF1 transactivation by c-Myc was confirmed by transfection of a c-Myc-estrogen receptor fusion protein and by induction of c-myc by zinc in transfected cells. Also, p53-mediated up-regulation of p21WAF1 mRNA protein were significantly reduced by c-Myc, while Bax levels were unaffected. Consistently, c-Myc increased cyclin-dependent kinase 2 activity in K562 cells expressing p53 in wild-type conformation. These results suggest that c-Myc overexpression may antagonize the pro-apoptotic function of p53, thus providing a molecular mechanism for the frequently observed deregulation of c-myc in human cancer.

Involvement of the tumor suppressor gene p53 in tumor necrosis factor-induced differentiation of the leukemic cell line K562

In: Cell Growth and Differentiation. - 1044-9523. ; 6:1, s. 9-17

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The cDNA of the human wild-type p53 tumor suppressor gene was constitutively overexpressed in the leukemic cell line K562 (which lacks detectable amounts of p53 protein) in order to investigate the consequences for growth and differentiation. Several stable clones were established by transfection of the expression vector pc53SN3. Expression of p53 protein was characterized by biosynthetic labeling and immunoprecipitation with the monoclonal antibodies pAb 1801 (reacting with wild-type and mutant human p53), pAb 240 (reacting with mutant human p53) and pAb 1620 (reacting with wild-type human p53). All clones which were 1801+, 240-, 1620- or 1801+, 240-, 1620+ were defined as "wild-type-like p53-expressing" clones. Our results show that expression of p53 protein is compatible with continuous proliferation of K562 cells. The growth characteristics of wild-type-like p53-expressing clones did not differ from that of control clones. However, the former were more sensitive than p53-negative control clones to growth inhibition by tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a cytokine with a potential role in growth and differentiation of myeloid leukemic cells. In addition, a 2- to 4-fold increase of the amount of hemoglobin, a marker of erythroid differentiation, was observed when wild-type-like p53 protein-expressing clones were incubated with TNF. This suggests that differentiation is the mechanism responsible for the increased TNF sensitivity of these clones. Our results support a role for p53 in mediating growth inhibitory and differentiation inducing signals by TNF.

Prospective teachers’ initial conceptions about pupils’ understanding of science and mathematics

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Earlier reports have shown that prospective teachers' conceptions about teaching science to a high degree are resistant and do not change substantially during the teacher-training programme. In our investigation we elucidate the prospective teachers' initial conceptions about pupils' understanding of science and mathematics. We applied 'The Lesson Preparation Method' and used a phenomenographic approach in order to reveal the range of conceptions that the prospective teachers hold. A third of the prospective teachers did not consider pupils' conceptions when planning lessons. The rest of the 32 participants expressed awareness; some of the prospective teachers even referred to subject-specific teaching experience. Also regarding the prospective teachers' conceptions about pupils' knowledge and beliefs, as well as about pupils' difficulties, there was a significant diversity. By raising these issues about pedagogical content knowledge the prospective teachers' conceptions can be extended and developed during the education.

Det välnärda barnet : Föreställningar och politik i skolmåltidens historia
- 2004

Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Sweden is nearly unique in providing and publicly funding meals for all schoolchildren. The current debate shows that the policy of providing school meals is universally accepted. That school meals are taken for granted makes the subject particularly interesting to problematize from a historical perspective, perhaps especially in light of the protracted implementation of the policy. The Swedish Rikadag voted in favor of providing school meals for every child in 1946. The aim in this thesis is to discuss the notions, ideas and political visions about children's food and eating from about 1900 to the end of the 1940's. The debate on school meals and child nutrition is focused to describe an important change in society in a way other than by concentrating more specifically on children or families. When the discussion on public health revealed the shortcomings in the knowledge and traditions of working-class families and the school system demanded that pupils pay attention and concentrate, children's hungry bellies were no longer a private matter. Malnutrition - nutrition that was faulty in quality or inadequate in quantity - became an important aspect of the welfare policy in a way that within its framework diffused and moved the border between private and public responsibility. Notions about children and their living conditions - the very construction of children's place in social and political contexts- that which we call childhood- had impact on the means by. which a reform like that of universal school meals could be implemented.
