Food Literacy: Matens betydelse för hälsa som undervisningsinnehåll
No full textThe aim of the present article is to analyse and discuss how teachers speak about goals and content of food literacy in teaching about food and health in Home Economics (HE). More specific, what different constructions of food literacy can be identified in teachers' talk about the drive and content of teaching food and health? Six focus group discussions were held in four different cities with a total of 27 HE teachers. Different visions of scientific literacy are used as a framework to analyse and discuss food literacy in education. Three different categories were identified, including different visions regarding students’ opportunities to develop awareness of how food influences health. Food literacy in HE includes disciplinary learning of specific knowledge and skills. Teaching HE is a multidisciplinary task, in which a number of disciplines are involved. The article examines what each vision refers to and what overarching purpose is expected to motivate a student to learn and to develop in a specific direction. Each vision therefore provides altered constructions of educational orientation in terms of meaning-makin
Agile policies for antimicrobial resistance : A contextual approach to sustainable health challenges.
No full textThis paper examines contextual conditions for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) policy implementation in Zimbabwe. As an emerging global sustainability challenge, AMR constitutes risks for human, animal and environmental health as well as the long-term viability of livestock and farming with implications for communities' economic stability and food security. The study uses participatory research workshops as a data generation method, engaging with interdisciplinary groups of students and lecturers at two universities in Zimbabwe. Utilising a combination of One Health approaches and theories of policy integration and coherence as our analytical framework, we outline the concept of agile policies, adapting policy content to contextual conditions. Results illustrate the interplay between social, economic and institutional contexts for AMR policy implementation and how especially economic pressures and social tensions represent obstacles to contextually relevant implementation. Limited resources and infrastructural support as part of monitoring and enforcement efforts related to antimicrobial use pose further challenges. This paper calls for AMR policy to be aligned with economic, agricultural and educational policies. Through such policy coherence and integration, One Health cross-sector collaborations could be developed, resulting in more policies while lessening the compliance costs for communities in implementing AMR policy in their practices.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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

Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Matens betydelse för hälsa : Studier av meningserbjudanden i hem- och konsumentkunskap
No full textThe overall aim of this thesis analyzes and discusses the importance of food for health as educational content in Home Economics (HE). More specifically, the educational content of food and health is examined through analysis of meanings expressed in syllabi and in teachers' talk. This thesis shows different constructions of the educational content regarding the importance of food for health. Furthermore this thesis highlights and problematizes that there are different views on what this content includes, as well as the relationship between facts and values in this educational content. Two research questions have guided this investigation: This thesis focuses on the importance of food for health as educational content in Home Economics (HE). More specifically, the educational content of food and health is examined through analysis of meanings expressed in syllabi and in teachers' talk. What meanings concerning the importance of food for health are constructed in syllabi of home economics1962-2011? What meanings concerning food in relation to health are constructed in teachers' talk about teaching? The two research questions are addressed in three studies: one syllabi text study (paper I) and two studies where the empirical data is constructed through six focus group interviews including 27 participating teachers (paper II and III). The thesis has a theoretical basis in curriculum studies, and the didactical questions serve as part of an analytical approach. Furthermore, a discursive approach to analyze meaning making is used. The findings show that the educational content of food in relation to health is constructed in different ways. There is more than one way to develop a healthy lifestyle according to the educational content of HE. Moreover, the result shows challenges in education of food in relation to health concerning the multi-dimensional content and concerning the values and normativity in what should be included when teaching about healthy lifestyles. These challenges are discussed in term of the large number of values that are linked to the choice of food consumption. Lastly, the dissertation illuminates the importance of continuing to theorize about teachers’ views of educational content and discussing teachers’ awareness of their own epistemic perspectives when teaching
