Industrial Intensification and Energy Embodied in Trade : Long-Run Energy Perspective of the Planned Economy of Czechoslovakia

This paper examines the role of foreign trade in the consumption of energy in Czechoslovakia through a bottom-up approach in accounting for energy embodied in trade with manufactured goods. It provides a unique analysis of annual changes in energy embodied in trade in a country characterized by changing political regimes. On the whole, Czechoslovakia has been a net exporter of energy throughout th

Variation in the sweet taste receptor gene and dietary intake in a Swedish middle-aged population

Background: The preference for sweet taste is partially genetically determined. The major allele of the single nucleotide polymorphism rs12033832 in the sweet taste receptor (TAS1R2) has previously been associated with lower sugar sensitivity and higher sugar intake among overweight individuals. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between dietary intake and the TAS1R2 genot

Mediekulturperspektivets möjligheter: Ett samtal i kulturaliseringens tecken

I en dialog mellan medieforskare ur två generationer diskuteras centrala frågor kring kulturperspektivets aktuella roll i medieforskningen. Begreppet kulturalisering relateras till medialisering och mediering; det slås ett slag för mediekulturbegreppet och ett vidgat mediebegrepp prövas kritiskt. Samspelet mellan gränsdragningar och överskridanden tematiseras på olika nivåer, dels i förhållande ti

Bringing Environmentalism Home: Children’s Influence on Family Consumption in the Nordic Countries and Beyond

This article discusses children as contributors to sustainable ecological development. The aim of the article is to develop a framework for researching two questions: What are the prerequisites for children to become responsible environmentalists? What actual and potential influence do children have on their family’s consumption? Three theoretical perspectives are elaborated in relation to relevan

Objective evaluation of nipple position after 336 breast reductions

Throughout different eras and cultures what is considered the cosmetically ideal breast has varied greatly. There is no broadly accepted standardised method that objectively evaluates aesthetic outcome after breast reduction mammoplasty. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the result of breast reduction regarding nipple position, comparing it to an objective previously described standard

CELSR2 is a candidate susceptibility gene in idiopathic scoliosis

A Swedish pedigree with an autosomal dominant inheritance of idiopathic scoliosis was initially studied by genetic linkage analysis, prioritising genomic regions for further analysis. This revealed a locus on chromosome 1 with a putative risk haplotype shared by all affected individuals. Two affected individuals were subsequently exome-sequenced, identifying a rare, non-synonymous variant in the C
