The present study was undertaken in the frame of the research programme Language Use and Individual Learning at the Department of Education at Lund University, using the intentional-expressive dialogue format developed within this programme. The dialogue format was adjusted to study language use and understanding in a multilingual and interdisciplinary higher education context, by including questi

PurposeThe paper aims to provide a conceptual map of how to mediate between sustainability theory and practice in higher education and how disciplinary divides can be bridged. It further looks at issues linked to knowledge views and drivers for institutional change that affect opportunities for whole institution development promoting action preparedness.Design/methodology/approachTaking its point
In Sweden, tutoring in the mother tongue is a special support measure primarily intended for newly arrived students to facilitate their transition into the Swedish school system. Tutoring is premised on the collaboration between the class teacher, responsible for subject-related expertise, and the tutor, who contributes with knowledge of the student’s mother tongue and previous context of studies.
Libraries are critical learning spaces and may play a significant role in intercultural education initiatives, particularly in Sweden where the national curriculum ascribes central functions to libraries for learning activities. Unfortunately, the ways in which teachers and librarians may collaborate to leverage mutual resources is not fully understood. This article uses Pirjo Lahdenperä’s model o
L’article discute des pratiques d’engagement et de développement de littératies menées par un réseau debibliothèques scolaires et publique intégrées, dans un quartier urbain multiethnique en Suède. La discussion traite enparticulier les modalités de collaboration avec l’école, les familles, les associations, les centres de loisirs et autres acteursdu quartier, ainsi que les stratégies mises en pla
Oxidation of HSO3- in aqueous solution has been studied in the presence of vanadium(V), chromium(III) and chromium(VI). Based on spectrophotometric kinetics data and product analysis it is concluded that the autoxidation rate of sulfur(IV) in slightly acidic solution is unaffected by the presence of vanadium(V) and chromium(III). Chromate(VI), on the other hand, oxidizes sulfur(IV) in a direct red
Refugees arrive in Sweden in connection with wars and repressive conditions in their countries of origin or refuge. Recently, many have come from the Middle East, and Syria in particular. The situation of refugees has a wide range of consequences for education in the host country, including higher education. Validation and admissions procedures involve administrative challenges, and language is an
Interdisciplinary interaction between the areas of language acquisition and language policy can be considered as a process and analysed from the methodological meta-perspective of how it interrelates with institutional practices. Mother tongue tutoring in Sweden is used to illustrate impacts when concepts travel across disciplinary and institutional contexts.
Spectrophotometric equilibrium measurements indicate formation of the complexes [Pd(H2O)(3)HSO4](+) and [Pd(H2O)(3)SO4] in the reaction between [Pd(H2O)(4)](2+) and hydrogen sulfate/sulfate in the region: 0.10 less than or equal to [H+] less than or equal to 0.80 M. The stability constants are 0.7 +/- 0.2 and 19 +/- 6 M-1, respectively, at 25 degrees C and 1.00 M ionic strength. The protolysis con
Crystals of cis-[PtCl2(SbPh3)(2)] (1) are monoclinic, space group P2(1)/a with a = 20.5708(12), b = 10.1942(4), c = 33.3984(15) Angstrom, beta = 94.394(4)degrees and Z = 8. Substitution of chloride for iodide yields trans-[PtI2(SbPh3)(2)] (2), the crystals of which are monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c with a = 18.108(4), b = 10.102(2), c = 19.1 15(5) Angstrom, beta = 95.241(16)degrees and Z = 4.

Cu+-specific P-type ATPase membrane protein transporters regulate cellular copper levels. The lack of crystal structures in Cu+-binding states has limited our understanding of how ion entry and binding are achieved. Here, we characterize the molecular basis of Cu+ entry using molecular-dynamics simulations, structural modeling, and in vitro and in vivo functional assays. Protein structural rearran
Background: Epidemiological studies have indicated that physical activity reduces the risk of developing breast cancer. More recently, sedentary behavior has been suggested as a risk factor independent of physical activity level. The purpose of the present study was to investigate occupational sedentariness and breast cancer risk in pre- and postmenopausal women. Materials and methods: In a popula
Background: Although alcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with future risk for psychosocial dysfunction, the degree to which this arises from a direct causal effect of AUD on functioning v. from correlated risk factors (also known as confounders) is less clearly established. Method: AUD was assessed from Swedish medical, criminal and pharmacy registries. In a large general population cohort, u
