Background: The relationship between animal ethics orientations and consumer demand for meat with high standards of animal welfare, and the way this relationship plays out in different countries, is not well understood. Using pork as a case study, this comparative study aims to identify the animal ethics orientations that drive purchases of welfare meat in Denmark, Germany, andSweden.

It has repeatedly been shown that consumers consider the higher price of organic produce to be a barrier to buying organic food products. The present paper therefore asks whether organic consumption affects consumers’ actual total food expenditures. Food purchase data for a panel of Danish households during 2006–2014 were used to compare the total food expenditures of different organic household sIt has repeatedly been shown that consumers consider the higher price of organic produce to be a barrier to buying organic food products.

Breast cancer is an important cause of disease-burden and death in women. To prevent over- and undertreatment of breast cancer patients, new prognostic and predictive factors are needed. We aimed to study associations between prognosis and body constitution, genetic factors, and tumor-specific protein levels related to metabolic pathways, and to examine the prognostic impact of statin use and body

Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, scholars have increasingly turned their attention to the rise and influence of jihadi Salafism. For the most part, though, the focus of this body of work has been on the sociology and activities of organizations such as al-Qaʿeda (AQ) and the Islamic State (IS), with less attention paid to the details of the movements’ ideologies.This, however, should not sugge

This study shows that the production of industrial and commercial waste should form part of normal organisational practices. When asked about waste prevention, representatives of food, textile, electronics and construction companies in Sweden have difficulties highlighting concrete waste-prevention objectives, measures and outcomes. Instead, they highlight economic, technical, and organisational b

Many contemporary scholars have recently defended the idea that the agency of things is symmetrical and equivalent to human agency. We propose an alternative approach to artefacts’ agency based on a field study concerned with contextually situated observations of the process of design of artefacts in Amazonia. By means of participant observation and interviews, we address the role of artefacts in

Sabotera gasledningar, menar Andreas Malm. Vänta på ”riktig kris”, menar Alf Hornborg. Men det duger inte. Lösningen är att fortsätta agera kollektivt genom civilsamhället med olika metoder för att mobilisera bredare massor och sätta press på makthavare, skriver forskare vid Lunds universitet.

Background. The symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are highly heterogeneous and it is unclear what is the optimal way to conceptualize this heterogeneity. This study aimed to establish a comprehensive symptom structure model of OCD across the lifespan using factor and network analytic techniques.Methods. A large multinational cohort of well-characterized children, adolescents, and adu

Turkey is in search of a new social contract premised on an extensive revision of the country's Kemalist inheritance and incorporating the economic and political transformations set in motion in the Ozal period. This is not a straightforward task for the reformist forces in Turkish politics and civil society; the imperative and nature of reform are the object of contestation between those factions

This thesis is intended to make a contribution to ongoing efforts to enhance our understanding of the “popular” in the study of politics through a critical examination of the uses and constructions of the people in Turkish politics since the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, to the present in order to distinguish between different modalities of appeals to the “people” and their implic

Background. Pernicious anemia (PA) is an autoimmune disease (AID) which is caused by lack of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) due to its impaired uptake. PA is a multifactorial disease which is associated with a number of other AID comorbidities and which is manifested as part of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Due to the shortage of family studies on PA, we planned to address the problem by assessing f

Purpose: To examine associations between the APOE-ε2 and APOE-ε4 alleles and core Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathological hallmarks as measured by amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau PET in older individuals without dementia. Methods: We analyzed data from 462 ADNI participants without dementia who underwent Aβ ([18F]florbetapir or [18F]florbetaben) and tau ([18F]flortaucipir) PET, structural MRI, and cognitive

En bön som kallas Heliga Birgittas har blivit populär bland pilgrimer: "Herre, visa mig din väg och gör mig villig att vandra den". Den är inspirerad av Birgittas uppenbarelser, men är inte ett ordagrant citat. Den är hämtad ur en längre bön av kyrkoherden Sam Stadener, ihopredigerad av Birgittacitat som Emilia Fogelklou tillhandahållit. Denna bön publicerades i Den svenska psalmbokens bönbok 1921

The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13-Decahydrocyclododecaoxazole was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data show that 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13-decahydrocyclododecaoxa
