Akademisk skriftspråklig progression : En medierad diskursanalys av två föreläsningar på Studie- och språkverkstaden, Stockholms universitet

I denna uppsats analyseras två föreläsningar genomförda av Studie- och språkverkstaden på Stockholms universitet. Syftet är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning föreläsningarna kan bidra till studenters akademiska skriftspråkliga progression. Materialet, som består av observationer, enkätsvar, intervjuer och mejl, har analyserats med metoder från medierad diskursanalys (MDA, Scollon & Scollon 2004). I undersökningen deltar 30 studenter, den språkinstitution som studenterna är inskrivna på samt Studie- och språkverkstaden. Resultaten visar att faktorer som interaktionsordning, historisk kropp och diskurser har stor betydelse för hur föreläsningarna uppfattas och används av studenterna. Hur studenterna motiverar sitt handlande beror på vem som uppfattas som social aktör både före, under och efter föreläsningarna; hur interaktionsordningen ser ut har betydelse för utfallet av antal studenter som deltar på föreläsningarna; hur en diskurs presenteras har betydelse för hur studenterna motiverar sitt handlande under föreläsningen; förväntningar på förutsättningar och förkunskaper ser olika ut hos språkinstitutionen och studenterna: de yngre studenterna relaterar positivt sina akademiska erfarenheter till läroplanen Gy 2011, språkinstitutionen signalerar brist i förutsättningar och förkunskaper relaterade till Gy 2011; föreläsningarna har höjt eller aktualiserat studenternas medvetande om den akademiska diskursen, och slutligen konstateras att studenternas tidigare akademiska erfarenhet inte har någon större inverkan på utfallet av föreläsningarna.

Fossil associations from the middle and upper Eocene strata of the Pamplona Basin and surrounding areas (Navarre, western Pyrenees)

Fossil associations from the middle and upper Eocene (Bartonian and Priabonian) sedimentary succession of the Pamplona Basin are described. This succession was accumulated in the western part of the South Pyrenean peripheral foreland basin and extends from deep-marine turbiditic (Ezkaba Sandstone Formation) to deltaic (Pamplona Marl, Ardanatz Sandstone and Ilundain Marl formations) and marginal marine deposits (Gendulain Formation). The micropalaeontological content is high. It is dominated by foraminifera, and common ostracods and other microfossils are also present. The fossil ichnoasssemblages include at least 23 ichnogenera and 28 ichnospecies indicative of Nereites, Cruziana, Glossifungites and ?Scoyenia-Mermia ichnofacies. Body macrofossils of 78 taxa corresponding to macroforaminifera, sponges, corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, annelids, molluscs, arthropods, echinoderms and vertebrates have been identified. Both the number of ichnotaxa and of species (e. g. bryozoans, molluscs and condrichthyans) may be considerably higher. Body fossil assemblages are comparable to those from the Eocene of the Nord Pyrenean area (Basque Coast), and also to those from the Eocene of the west-central and eastern part of South Pyrenean area (Aragon and Catalonia). At the European scale, the molluscs assemblages seem endemic from the Pyrenean area, although several Tethyan (Italy and Alps) and Northern elements (Paris basin and Normandy) have been recorded. Palaeontological data of studied sedimentary units fit well with the shallowing process that throughout the middle and late Eocene occurs in the area, according to the sedimentological and stratigraphical data.

Kalaureia 1894 : A Cultural History of the First Swedish Excavation in Greece

The excavation of the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia in 1894 marks the beginning of Swedish archaeological fieldwork in Greece. During a couple of hot summer months, two philologists from Uppsala University, Sam Wide (1861-1918) and Lennart Kjellberg (1857-1936), worked in the sanctuary together with the architect Sven Kristenson (1858-1937), the Greek foreman Pankalos and around twenty local workmen. In 1997, the Swedish Institute at Athens began new excavations at the sanctuary. This thesis examines the beginnings of Swedish fieldwork in Greece. Within the framework of a cultural history of archaeology, inspired by archaeological ethnography and the New Cultural History, it explores how archaeology functioned as a cultural practice in the late nineteenth century. A micro-historical methodology makes use of a wide array of different source material connected to the excavation of 1894, its prelude and aftermath. The thesis takes the theoretical position that the premises for archaeological knowledge production are outcomes of contemporary power structures and cultural politics. Through an analysis of how the archaeologists constructed their self-images through a set of idealized stereotypes of bourgeois masculinity, academic politics of belonging is highlighted. The politics of belonging existed also on a national level, where the Swedish archaeologists entered into a competition with other foreign actors to claim heritage sites in Greece. The idealization of classical Greece as a birthplace of Western values, in combination with contemporary colonial and racist cultural frameworks in Europe, created particular gazes through which the modern country was appropriated and judged. These factors all shaped the practices through which archaeological knowledge was created at Kalaureia. Some excavations tend to have extensive afterlives through the production of histories of archaeology. Therefore, this thesis also explores the representations of the 1894 excavation in the historiography of Swedish classical archaeology. It highlights the strategies by which the excavation at Kalaureia has served to legitimize further Swedish engagements in Greek archaeology, and explores the way in which historiography shapes our professional identities.

Postdoktoral karriär vid Stockholms universitet ur ett jämställdhetsperspektiv

Several previous studies indicate that among newly graduated PhDs, women tend to continue with a postdoctoral academic career to a lesser extent than men do. The Central PhD Student Council (CDR) has investigated to what degree this is also the case for Stockholm University. Using various sources, the relative change of the gender balance of PhD students compared to researchers at a postdoctoral level has been assessed at the four faculties of Stockholm University. For the Faculty of Science, the four different sections have been analysed as well. CDR finds that it is first and foremost at this faculty that a clear change in the gender balance between PhD students and postdoctoral researchers is discerned. Even though the variations between the individual departments and sections at the faculty are large, as a whole the relative decrease of the proportion of women is between 11 % and 21 %, depending on what metric is used. The dropoff of female researchers takes place primarily in already male-dominated areas of research. Unlike at the other faculties, we also find that the proportion of female senior lecturers at the Faculty of Science is lower than what could be expected. The proportion of female professors, even among new recruits, is still lower than the population of hypothetical recruits at all faculties – except at the Faculty of Humanities. We do, however, note that the proportion of female professors at the Faculty of Science is currently increasing and approaching that of the population of hypothetical recruits. At the Faculty of Social Sciences we see that, compared to the rest of the faculty, the proportion of women within the educational sciences is considerably higher and when excluding these subjects the trend towards more female professors disappears. CDR concludes that it is important to increase the directed efforts to encourage support to newly graduated female PhDs within male-dominated areas to stay in academia. Furthermore, it is crucial to study the reasons for a larger female drop-off within certain areas of research in the transition from PhD studies to a postdoctoral level. We further consider it important to ensure that women are given the same possibilities as men to qualify themselves scientifically and not be burdened with teaching and administrative duties to a larger extent than men are.

Analysing the internationalisation readiness of firms

The internationalisation of firms has gained much research attention since the 1970s. However, the behavioural aspect of firms’ during their pre-internationalisation phase has not been sufficiently explored. This research proposes that a pre-internationalisation focus would not only offer an additional perspective to the study of firm internationalisation but would also address the significant research gap in studies that are theoretically based around the Uppsala Model. This study views the development of a firm from its pre-internationalisation phase into an international firm in accordance with the Uppsala Model’s ‘state’ to ‘change’ aspect transition, with ‘internationalisation readiness’ established as the missing link between these two aspects. During the pre-internationalisation phase, a firm is exposed to a wide variety of internal and external stimuli that triggers an impulse for foreign market expansion. The perception of these stimuli and the attitudinal commitment taken by the firm’s decision-makers, as well as the firm’s resource capabilities and the moderating effect of lateral rigidity, are influential towards an internationalisation decision. This paper argues the significance of adopting the pre-internationalisation phase as a research platform and the importance of analysing firms’ internationalisation readiness. A method is proposed for the development of an Internationalisation Readiness Index that could be used for measuring a firm’s propensity to commence its first export operation.
