“The green political consumer of food: A critical analysis of the research and policies”

Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper reviews the current literature on political and ethical consumers, and relates it to the topic of sustainable food consumption. A first aim is to problematise a somewhat simplistic view of the political and ethical consumer found in the literature. The paper sheds light on some of the dilemmas that confront green political consumers. We indicate that most existin

Weak A phenotypes associated with novel ABO alleles carrying the A(2)-related 1061C deletion and various missense substitutions.

BACKGROUND: The 1061delC single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been reported mostly in the context of the common A(2)[A201] allele and typically produces an A(2) phenotype. This study evaluated new A(weak) alleles, each containing 1061delC. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Twenty samples were referred to our laboratory for analysis due to suspected A(weak) phenotypes originally detected at the referri

Fondaparinux or enoxaparin: A comparative study of postoperative bleeding in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.

Objectives. Preoperative treatment with anti-coagulants for patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) exposes patients undergoing surgical revascularization to a higher risk of perioperative bleeding. The aim of this study was to compare the effect on bleeding and transfusion needs during cardiac surgery for patients treated with enoxaparin or fondaparinux. Design. Using a

Wallenbergs fysikpris: Pröva själv en av teoriuppgifterna

I oktober 2012 lanserades ”Projekt Helix” på Liseberg – en ny stor berg- och dalbana inför vårpremiären 2014. Den klassiska Lisebergbanan får nu sällskap på berget av en något längre bana, med många nya element och exempel på ny teknik. Bland annat innehåller den två accelerationszo- ner, där tåget tillförs energi med linjära synkronmotorer (LSM). Efter den andra accelerationszonen, där tåget får

Exit of pediatric pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukaemia cells from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood is not associated with cell maturation or alterations in gene expression.

BACKGROUND: Childhood pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a bone marrow (BM) derived disease, which often disseminates out of the BM cavity, where malignant cells to a variable degree can be found circulating in the peripheral blood (PB). Normal pre-B cells are absolutely dependent on BM stroma for survival and differentiation. It is not known whether transformed pre-B ALL cells retain any

Plasma Copeptin, A Unifying Factor behind the Metabolic Syndrome.

Context: Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is known to affect liver glycogenolysis, insulin, and glucagon secretion and pituitary ACTH release. We previously showed that high copeptin, the stable C-terminal fragment of AVP prohormone, is independently associated with hyperinsulinemia and future development of diabetes mellitus. Objective: The objective of the study was to examine whether plasma copeptin

In the light of a new registration of all apsidal churches in Scandinavia (1,222 in all), the author discusses the occurrence and frequency of apses, and puts forward the hypothesis that the apse symbolizes the seat of the bishop.

Bleeding complications in venous thrombosis patients on well-managed warfarin.

Anticoagulation treatment is effective in preventing both death and recurrence in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), but at the same time confers a substantial risk of bleeding complications. The aim of this study was to examine the rate of and predictors for bleeding complications in VTE patients on warfarin with high treatment quality. In total 13,859 patients on warfarin for VTE betwee

Enhancements of the Modified PCF in IEEE 802.11 WLANs

The success of the IEEE 802.11 standard has prompted research into efficiency of the different medium access methods and their support for different traffic types. A modified version of the point coordination function (PCF) called modified PCF has been introduced as a way to improve the efficiency over the standard method. It has been shown through a simulation study and a mathematical analysis th

A numerical model of coastal overwash

Overwash, the flow of water and sediment over the crest of a beach, contributes to flooding and the deposition of sand landward of the beach crest. Washover, the sand deposited by overwash, contributes to the sediment budget and migration of barrier islands. The ability to predict the occurrence, location, and thickness of overwash deposits is important for coastal residents, coastal town planners
