Using Text in Swedish Pre-schools – a Learning Evironment
No full textHow can the textual environment in pre-school reflect and contribute to children's literacy learning? Gustafsson and Mellgren (2002) investigated how textual environments were created in Swedish preschools. This original study informed subsequent recent Swedish-New Zealand research (Mellgren & Margrain, 2015). Analysis of the 322 Swedish images from the recent study is shared in this presentation, along with comparisons to the original study. According to UNICEF (2009) it is the right of every child to be literate. Literacy is more than reading and writing, it provides opportunity for meaning making (Gee, 2002, Kress, 2013). The method used was observation and analysis of photographic images. 11 codes were applied, and quantitative analysis utilised. Ethics approval for the study by Mellgren and Margrain was granted from Massey University in New Zealand. Ethical issues included informed consent, confidentiality, participant right to withdrawal, and ensuring no harm. The most frequent categories of text in the images from the Mellgren and Margrain study were ‘labels’ and ‘artefacts.’ These findings connect to the ‘quiet’ text environment described in the earlier Gustafsson and Mellgren study. Meaning-making for children had limited visibility within the images of text in Swedish preschools. Comparative analysis between Swedish and New Zealand data determined that ‘signs and symbols’ were more frequent within the Swedish sample (26.4% vs 7.4%). Early childhood teachers need to have strong understanding of early childhood literacy and pedagogy. Student teachers may need particular support to develop their understanding of early literacy as a socio-cultural, interactive and meaning-driven construct
Repeated Reading - Early Childhood Literacy as an opportunity in preschool
No full textThe aim in this study is to support early literacy teaching in pre-school. The issue for this study is repeated reading for one child three times over a period of four weeks, they do a simple documentation - make notes in an questionnaire(1), then they get professional support and continue whit repeated reading in pre-school for one and the same child and make more reflective notes in an questionnaire (2). In Sweden the curricula point out the pre-school to support every child and families to get experience of early literacy from an early age. Relationship to previous research works Studies like PISA and PIRLS point out those literacy skills as a key-factor for further learning. Theoretical framework for the recent study is work by: S., Brice Heath (1983); G., Kress (1997); M., Carr (2001); J., Langer (2005); K., Gustafsson and E., Mellgren (2005); E., Mellgren and K., Gustafsson (2009); E., Mellgren and I., Pramling Samuelsson (manus). The methodology and methods are an action research project. The pre-school-teachers take part in an in-service-training and make notations an documentations in an aim to improve thier own practice. All participation is voluntary. Pre-school teachers study, parents and children in the recent have the opportunity to voluntary deliver notations to this study. The result shows that preschool teachers express that through regular repeated reading for individual children the preschool can contribute to children's potential to become a reader.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The cutaneous nerve biopsy: Technical aspects, indications, and contribution
No full textSkin biopsy with a 3mm disposable circular punch is easy to perform and allows, after proper processing, the visualization of epidermal, dermal, and sweat gland nerve fibers. A technique of sampling the epidermis alone by applying a suction capsule, the "blister" technique, has also been developed. It is most common to stain immunohistochemically for the pan-axonal marker protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), an ubiquitin C-terminal hydroxylase. The sections are then observed and analyzed with bright-field microscopy or with indirect immunofluorescence with or without confocal microscopy. Most studies report quantification of intraepidermal nerve fiber density displayed in bright-field microscopy. Normative values have been established, particularly from the distal part of the leg, 10cm above the external malleolus. In diabetes mellitus early degeneration of intraepidermal nerve fibers is induced and there is slower regeneration even when there is no evidence of neuropathy. Skin biopsy is of particular value in the diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy when nerve conduction studies are normal. It may also be repeated in order to study the progressive nature of the disease and also has the potential of studying regeneration of nerve fibers and thus the effects of treatment. Inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies may also involve loss of small-diameter nerve fibers and IgM deposits in dermal myelinated nerve fibers in anti-MAG neuropathy. In some cases the presence of vasculitis in skin may indicate a nonsystemic vasculitic neuropathy and in HIV neuropathy intraepidermal nerve fiber density is reduced in a length-dependent manner. In several hereditary neuropathies intraepidermal nerve fiber density may be reduced but other abnormalities can also be demonstrated in dermal myelinated fibers. Some small swellings and varicosities may be present in the distal leg skin biopsy of healthy individuals but large axonal swellings are considered as evidence of a pathological process affecting the normal structure of nerves. The indirect immunofluorescence technique with confocal microscopy provides the opportunity to study the complex structure of sensory receptors and cutaneous myelinated fibers and the innervation of sweat glands, arrector pilorum muscles, and vessels
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
