Abstract [en].

Methods other than averages from national tests, grades and levels of eligibility for higher education to evaluate the quality of education and school development are called for. In this dissertation is examined how a conscious effort to develop trustful relationships and mutual interaction among all actors in schools may contribute to increased well-being, community and strengthened learning processes for both students and teachers. ‘Relational school development’ is seen as particularly important for the large group of students who struggle hard in school every day to achieve the educational goals, and who are thus most dependent on a supportive environment to cope with learning. Trustful relationships and developed interaction and cooperation in schools are in the long run also assumed to have the potential to contribute positively to attainment. The overall aim of the thesis is to study the significance of relational aspects in school development.

In order to meet the thesis’ aim, a relational school development initiative grounded in school development research and theories of relational pedagogy was shaped, which was implemented in five schools during five school semesters. The relational processes that the initiative generated in the five schools respectively were longitudinally studied, out from specified research issues. Parallel qualitative and quantitative data were collected from school leaders, teachers and students. Thematic analysis was used to develop a deeper understanding of conditions for and experiences of relational school development processes. Statistical analyses were performed to infer from the longitudinal student data collected with the ‘Swedish TSR-SSE’-survey, which has been developed as a part of the studies.

The main results of the thesis reveal: i) organisational and relational preconditions at the system-, school- and teacher group level define which relational school development efforts can be carried out. Teachers need to feel trust in school development processes in order to become involved and be open with own challenges and to try out real changes in practice together with colleagues and students. As conceptualised here, ‘Teacher trust’ in relational school development encompasses three mutually interacting levels: collegial trust, collective trust in the teacher team and overall process trust in the school development process; ii) students’ perceptions of teacher-student relationship quality (TSR) and students’ self-efficacy within different domains of schooling (SSE) are confirmed as inter-correlated relational school factors and seem to be appropriate for use in longitudinal follow-up of teachers’ relational school development efforts; iii) collective relational competence of teachers may develop through an increased joint awareness of how both implicit and explicit aspects of communication affect the teacher-student relationship continuously, and iv) students whose teachers appreciated a more successful collective learning process reported improved quality in the teacher-student relationship, and also expressed a raised sense of self-efficacy regarding own opportunities to succeed in school.

Artikeln bidrar till fördjupad förståelse av lokala förutsättningar för skolutveckling genom kollektivt lärande i arbetslag. En longitudinell fallstudie genomfördes av skolutvecklingsprocesserna i fem arbetslag på olika skolor som deltog i ett identiskt, externt utformat, utvecklingsprojekt. Projektet innebar en handledd lärandeprocess där lärarna förväntades utveckla gemensam kunskap och kompetens genom kollektiv reflektion, baserad på synliggjord praktik i form av kollektivt planerade och genomförda elevinterventioner. Interventionerna bestod i kartläggning av skolsvårigheter, filmade samarbetsbaserade lärar-elevsamtal och uppföljningar av dessa, med anpassningar i undervisning och elevarbete. Utfallet av projektet, såsom skattat av lärarna efter två år, varierade stort mellan skolorna. Variationen i utfall, trots att arbetslagen deltagit på jämförbara premisser och med likvärdigt tillförda resurser, är artikelns utgångspunkt.

Intresset riktas mot lärarnas upplevelser i utvecklingsprocessen. Analysen bygger på kvalitativa processdata insamlade före, under och efter projektet. I tematisk analys urskildes tre aspekter av lärares upplevelser av tillit i skolutvecklingsprocessen som centrala; processtillit, kollegial tillit och kollektiv tillit. Övergripande processtillit och kollektiv tillit framstod som förutsättningar för arbetslagens uthållighet i utvecklingsarbetet. Kollegial tillit - tillitsfulla interpersonella relationer och professionellt förtroende lärarna emellan i arbetslaget - framstod som en särskild förutsättning för att lärares praktik skulle synliggöras, och att ett fördjupat kollektivt lärande därmed skulle kunna äga rum. Kollegial tillit och kollektiv tillit är begrepp som återfinns i organisationslitteraturen, medan processtillit är ett begrepp som artikeln förslår.

The article contributes to in-depth understanding of local conditions for school development, by means of collective learning in teacher teams. A longitudinal case study of school development processes in five teacher teams in different schools, who participated in an identical, externally designed, school development project, was conducted. The two-year project included a collective learning process with training, supervision and teacher-student interventions. The teachers were expected to develop collaboration, joint action and collective reflection, through the implementation and monitoring of collaborative teacher-student interventions. Teacher-student talks were intended to be videotaped, to make teachers’ practices visible to joint reflection and improvement. Although the five teacher teams participated in the project on comparable terms and with equal resources added, teachers in retrospect rated the project out-comes with great variety, on the different schools. This variation set the starting point for this article.

The interest of the investigation is directed towards the teachers’ experiences from the school development processes. Analyses are based on qualitative process data collected before, during and after the project. In thematic analyses, three aspects of trust were identified as crucial for the teachers’ experiences; process trust, collegial trust and collective trust. General confidence in the process (process trust) and high-enough psychological safety and collective confidence within the group (collective trust), showed to be prerequisites for endurance of the school development processes. Collegial trust – trustworthy interpersonal relationships and mutual professional confidence between the teachers in the group - showed to be an additional prerequisite for teachers’ visibility in practice, and thereby for a deepening in the collective learning process. Collegial trust and collective trust are concepts known in the organizational literature, while process trust is a concept suggested by this article.

High quality of teacher-student relationships is widely recognized as fundamental part of good education. Moreover, students' self-efficacy beliefs, or their confidence to succeed within different domains at school, are important impact factors to achievement. Although there is support for an association between student-perceived teacher-student relationship quality and students' self-efficacy judgements, which mediates achievement, no tool explores this association. This article suggests that two instruments, respectively measuring students' perceptions of teacher-student relationship quality (TSR) and student's self-efficacy (SSE), can be used in parallel for a multifaceted exploration of individual students’ perception of TSR quality, in relationship to their self-efficacy. Two well-established instruments were adopted, validated and their factor structures re-confirmed in a Swedish sample, using data collected from students in five schools (n=382). Factor analysis showed that models with three underlying dimensions of TSR and four underlying dimensions of SSE were the most appropriate, although not entirely satisfying. All sub-scales showed good-to-excellent reliability (Cronbach’s α=0.75-0.94). Findings indicated a lack of multigroup invariance across gender and school level for the TSR-model. Substantial associations were found between student-perceived teacher support, and students’ self-efficacy for self-regulated learning and global academic success. We discuss utility and limitations, need of model improvement, and future potential.

This 2-year longitudinal study compares students’ trajectories for perceived teacher–student relationship quality and students’ selfefficacy (together discussed as students’ school trust) to previously documented teacher-perceived experiences in teacher teams’ collective learning processes. The article’s main contribution is the reflection in students’ perceptions, of their teachers’ perceived quality and attainment in collective learning processes. Comparisons between schools show that trajectories for students belonging to the only teacher team that experienced a more mature and successful learning process in an earlier study, differed significantly from the trajectories for students in compared teams. Differences demonstrated large positive effect sizes (d=0.81–1.14). Individual analysis provides deeper insights about how these students’ perceptions changed. Additionally, the full sample data confirms earlier findings of substantial cross-associations between student-perceived teacher–student relationship quality and student self-efficacy. For example, sustainable associations between supportive teacher–student relationships and students’ global academic self-efficacy and self-efficacy for self-regulative learning were found (r = 0.43–0.51).

The Master Thesis Award 2020 goes to...

Oct. 23, 2020

Martin Warin & Jakob Kalbe for their joint thesis: "Dressed for Long-Term Success - Evidence from Sweden Regarding the Long-Term Value Creation of Private Equity Sponsors".

Warm congratulations from the Swedish House of Finance to Martin Warin & Jakob Kalbe for winning this years Master Thesis Award! 

The prize is awarded annually, this year for the second time, in order to stimulate students to work on topics related to financial economics by using data on Nordic financial markets availaible at the Swedish House of Finance Data Center. 

Martin Warin and Jakob Kalbe have both gratuated from the Master in Finance program at the Stockholm School of Economics.

In their thesis, Martin and Jakob analyze the long-term changes in companies after leverage buyouts (LBOs) by PE funds. They follow those firms over multiple years and then study the performance on the stock market after the PE funds exit via an IPO. One of the many strengths of the thesis is the substantial data collection effort from the Serrano database. The authors establish that PE firms implement significant changes in the companies they buy --- for example, they increase the productivity of the workforce and the overall profitability --- and that those changes are valued by investors once those firms are listed again on public stock exchanges. Thus, the thesis presents empirical evidence that suggests that PE funds have a significant, value-increasing impact on their holding companies in the long run. This is an important and interesting topic; in particular, for Sweden with its sizeable PE and buyout industry. Overall, the thesis represents a great effort and produces results that represent contributions to the existing literature and have important implications for industry.

Stephan, katharina, abstract [en].

Mitochondria perform a variety of tasks, but the function they are most prominent for is the energy conversion to form ATP, the universal energy equivalent of the cell. The majority of this ATP is created by the oxidative phosphorylation system, consisting of the respiratory chain and the ATP synthase. These elaborate machineries channel electrons through the respiratory complexes and thereby generate an electrochemical gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This, so called proton motive force, is in turn utilized by the ATP Synthase to produce ATP.

A particularity of the oxidative phosphorylation complexes is that their subunits are derived from two genetic sources. As a result, and the fact that the respiratory chain complexes contain redox cofactors, the biogenesis of these enzymes is challenging and involves multiple, highly coordinated and regulated assembly steps. For the obligate homodimeric bc 1 complex, a handful of assembly factors are known and its assembly can be divided into distinct assembly intermediates. In this work we provided insights into the maturation of the catalytic subunit cytochrome b . We revealed that the insertion of the redox active heme b groups is sequential and that it depends on the interaction with the early assembly factor Cbp4. With successful insertion of both heme b s, the binding of the structural subunit Qcr7 is necessary for stabilization and further assembly.

Furthermore, we were able to delineate the dimerization event in detail. We could establish that the interaction of the two matrix subunits, Cor1 and Cor2, with the bc 1 complex assembly intermediate II, as well as the dissociation of Cbp4, are the triggering point for dimerization.

In our subsequent work we investigated the roles of the fairly uncharacterized assembly factor Bca1 and its interplay with the structural subunit Qcr7. We could demonstrate that Bca1 interacts early and transiently during assembly and is an important factor for efficient assembly. Additionally, we could show that Qcr7 is not only a structural subunit but also serves as an assembly checkpoint for the maturation of the bc 1 complex.

With our work we could illustrate the necessity for basic biochemical research within the model organism yeast, as the fundamental molecular mechanisms are well conserved. This is exemplified by our work on UQCC3, the human orthologue of the bc 1 complex assembly factor Cbp4.

At the time of the doctoral defense, the following paper was unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 4: Manuscript.

The mitochondrial  bc 1  complex plays an important role in mitochondrial respiration. It transfers electrons from ubiquinol to the soluble electron shuttle cytochrome  c  and thereby contributes to the proton motive force across the inner mitochondrial membrane. In the yeast  Saccharomyces cerevisiae , each monomer consists of three catalytic and seven accessory subunits. The  bc 1  complex is an obligate homo-dimer in all systems. It is currently not known when exactly during the assembly dimerization occurs. In this study, we determined that the dimer formation is an early event. Specifically, dimerization is mediated by the interaction of a stable tetramer formed by the two Cor subunits, Cor1 and Cor2, that joins assembly intermediate II, containing the fully hemylated cytochrome  b  and the two small accessory proteins, Qcr7 and Qcr8. Addition of cytochrome  c 1  and Qcr6 can either occur concomitantly or independently of dimerization. These results reveal a strict order in assembly, where dimerization occurs after stabilization of co-factor acquisition by cytochrome  b . Finally, assembly is completed by addition of the remaining subunits.

Mitochondrial gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is responsible for the production of highly hydrophobic subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system. Membrane insertion occurs cotranslationally on membrane-bound mitochondrial ribosomes. Here, by employing a systematic mass spectrometry-based approach, we discovered the previously uncharacterized membrane protein Mrx15 that interacts via a soluble C-terminal domain with the large ribosomal subunit. Mrx15 contacts mitochondrial translation products during their synthesis and plays, together with the ribosome receptor Mba1, an overlapping role in cotranslational protein insertion. Taken together, our data reveal how these ribosome receptors organize membrane protein biogenesis in mitochondria.

Complex III (cytochrome bc(1)) is a protein complex of the mitochondrial inner membrane that transfers electrons from ubiquinol to cytochrome c. Its assembly requires the coordinated expression of mitochondrial-encoded cytochrome b and nuclear-encoded subunits and assembly factors. Complex III deficiency is a severe multisystem disorder caused by mutations in subunit genes or assembly factors. Sequence-profile-based orthology predicts C11orf83, hereafter named UQCC3, to be the ortholog of the fungal complex III assembly factor CBP4. We describe a homozygous c.59T > A missense mutation in UQCC3 from a consanguineous patient diagnosed with isolated complex III deficiency, displaying lactic acidosis, hypoglycemia, hypotonia and delayed development without dysmorphic features. Patient fibroblasts have reduced complex III activity and lower levels of the holocomplex and its subunits than controls. They have no detectable UQCC3 protein and have lower levels of cytochrome b protein. Furthermore, in patient cells, cytochrome b is absent from a high-molecular-weight complex III. UQCC3 is reduced in cells depleted for the complex III assembly factors UQCC1 and UQCC2. Conversely, absence of UQCC3 in patient cells does not affect UQCC1 and UQCC2. This suggests that UQCC3 functions in the complex III assembly pathway downstream of UQCC1 and UQCC2 and is consistent with what is known about the function of Cbp4 and of the fungal orthologs of UQCC1 and UQCC2, Cbp3 and Cbp6. We conclude that UQCC3 functions in complex III assembly and that the c.59T > A mutation has a causal role in complex III deficiency.

Mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes convert chemical energy into a membrane potential by connecting electron transport with charge separation. Electron transport relies on redox cofactors that occupy strategic positions in the complexes. How these redox cofactors are assembled into the complexes is not known. Cytochrome b, a central catalytic subunit of complex III, contains two henne bs. Here, we unravel the sequence of events in the mitochondrial inner membrane by which cytochrome b is hemylated. Heme incorporation occurs in a strict sequential process that involves interactions of the newly synthesized cytochrome b with assembly factors and structural complex III subunits. These interactions are functionally connected to cofactor acquisition that triggers the progression of cytochrome b through successive assembly intermediates. Failure to hemylate cytochrome b sequesters the Cbp3-Cbp6 complex in early assembly intermediates, thereby causing a reduction in cytochrome b synthesis via a feedback loop that senses hemylation of cytochrome b.

Artist Lisa Jevbratt explores history of invasive plants through textiles and data visualization

Despite their casting as problem species, invasive plants often hold deep ties to historical events and customs. A yearning to better understand their relationship to one specific ecosystem, the land and human life led artist Lisa Jevbratt to study their color and material properties.

“We are dyeing wool with dyestuff from invasive and non-native plants growing on Santa Cruz Island in the Channel Islands archipelago in California, investigating the complex and intertwined influence humans have on our ecosystems, and the aesthetic, emotional, magical and medicinal interrelationships between humans, plants and color,” said Jevbratt , aUC Santa Barbara art professor. With the spun wool, Jevbratt and her collaborator Helén Svensson of Stockholm, Sweden, weave shawls, some of which are on view in “Interlopings — Experiencing the Warp and Weft of Ecological Entanglements” at Chrisman California Islands Center in Carpinteria until October.  (Many were previously on view in “Interlopings – Colors in the Warp and Weft of Ecological Entanglements” at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, December 2022 to April 2023).

The current exhibition is a process-based collaborative art project combining traditional techniques such as dyeing, spinning and weaving, with data visualization, “performative science” and “relational aesthetics” strategies. Project contributors include Julia Ford, Amanda Hackelton, Jennifer Harman, Soren Johnson, Lizzie Lewis, Lynn Moody, Elizabeth Oriel, Barbara Rosén, and Sydney Wylde. With various methods for visualizing and organizing data, Jevbratt employs a wide range of systematics, from scientific to alchemical, creating a database of natural dye colors. 

Mainly plants and one insect (cochineal), the non-native organisms were brought to Santa Cruz Island over an extended period of time, beginning when it was first colonized by Europeans and continuing into the late 20th century. Cochineal, an important source of red dye, was brought to the island in the late 60s to help kill off the cactuses which were considered a hazard to the cows grazing on the island.

“The human immigrants had a relationship to these organisms in their home lands for millennia, many of these plants have been used for food, medicine, magic and dyes,” Jevbrett said. “Just as with humans, some behave better than others when arriving in a new land.” 

Referencing the work “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants” by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Jevbratt noted how examples of non-native species, such as the broadleaf plantain, can be “a generous and healing newcomer, who is truly listening to the new environment.” 

Other plants are infamous for wreaking havoc in the ecosystems they “invade.” “On Santa Cruz Island, fennel, a sweet smelling, delicious plant, which is highly medicinal, traditionally used for protection magic and yields a magical yellow color, has taken over large swaths of land to the detriment of the native flora,” she said. “It is now one of the many plants targeted for eradication from the island in a major conservation effort aiming to restore it to a more (real or perceived) natural state.”   

The sheep breeds producing the wool and yarns Jevbratt and Svensson are working with have an historical connection to Santa Cruz Island. It’s believed that the Santa Cruz Island sheep breed stems from sheep of several breeds, potentially including Merino, Rambouillet (a French version of Merino) and English Leicester, brought to the island in the mid 19th century for wool and meat production. Over the years, the sheep increased in numbers and became feral, causing massive erosion to the landscape. In the 90s, consistent with restoration efforts on the island, the sheep, then in the tens of thousands, were eradicated. Due to the methods used (very few sheep were brought to the mainland, most were shot on the island) the endemic Santa Cruz Island breed has ironically become one of the five most critically endangered breeds on the Livestock Conservancy’s conservation priority list.

“The wool from these sheep speaks about the landscape where the individual sheep led their lives and the breed emerged. Its staple length and crimp, the soil and vegetable matter trapped in it, reveals something about the sheep, the breed and their environment (craftspeople now speak of the ‘terroir’ of wool),” said Jevbratt, originally from Sweden, who joined UCSB’s Art Department and Media Arts and Technology program in 2002. Before turning her focus to textiles, for more than a decade she explored the expressions and exchanges created by the protocols and languages of the internet, often manifesting as visualization software. Her work has been exhibited extensively in venues such as The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada, The New Museum in New York, The Swedish National Public Art Council in Stockholm, Sweden, and the Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.  

“Interlopings” relies on visual, tactile and olfactory modalities of generating meaning, she added. “As such the most important questions will be asked, and maybe answered, in the direct experiences of hands, noses and eyes and in the relationships created between people and between people, processes and materials.”
