Background & aims: Alcohol consumption has been inversely associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but its influence on autoimmune diabetes is unclear. We investigated the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and T2D in relation to alcohol intake and assessed if potential associations were modified by genetic susceptibility to diabetes. Methods: We used data from a case–control st
From the year of 2000 to 2010 the increase in expenditures for the Swedish households on furnishings, household equipment and routine maintenance of the house is 67%, for clothing and footwear the increase is 50%. Our total consumption from the same years has increased by 23%. I started this project by researching on the human sociology in relation to private consumption. Why do we spend so much

The UK housing stock will play an important role in achieving the 2050 national carbon reduction targets. Upgrading the energy performance of the existing housing stock is a significant challenge because retrofit activities are shaped by a wide range of fragmented policies, programmes and actors. Existing approaches to housing retrofit focus on regulations, financial incentives and information pro

Bioenergy plays a major role in the renewable energy supply and is projected to be an important part of the path towards a decarbonised society. Over the past decade, increasing attention has been given to agricultural bioenergy to act as a multifunctional climate mitigation strategy. Energy crops may mitigate climate change while simultaneously contributing to reducing the negative environmental
Digitalization has in recent years transformed the music industry and how people consume music. Simultaneously, the social media app TikTok has emerged as a major player in marketing, using its unique algorithmic structure and user-generated content to become a powerful marketing tool for musicians and record labels alike. Therefore, this paper investigates the effect of TikTok on music consumptio
The coefficient of repeatability (COR), expressed as 2-SD of differences, was calculated between two measurements of oxygen consumption (V O2), heart rate (HR) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during ergometer cycling by men. The two sets of measurements were performed 5 to 6 weeks apart. Nineteen healthy men performed an incremental maximal exercise test on an ergometer cycle. The load star
Collaborative consumption – i.e. sharing, renting, trading and swapping things instead of owning them – has in previous years emerged as an alternative consumption mode, assumed by many to be less resource demanding and more sustainable than current consumption patterns. It is suggested that younger adults have more positive attitudes towards collaborative consumption than older age cohorts. Howev
Background: A novel data-driven classification of type 2 diabetes has been proposed to personalise anti-diabetic treatment according to phenotype. One subgroup, severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD), is characterised by mild hyperglycaemia but marked hyperinsulinaemia, and presents an increased risk of diabetic nephropathy. We hypothesised that patients with SIRD could particularly benefit from
Consumer goods manufacturers aiming to reduce the environmental impact associated with their products commonly pursue incremental change strategies, but more radical approaches may be required if we are to address the challenges of sustainable consumption. One strategy to realize step change reductions is to prepare a portfolio of innovations providing different levels of impact reduction in excha
This study analyzed direct and indirect relationships in water consumption by Macedonian economic sectors using virtual water in an input–output framework. Macedonia was found to be characterized by intensive water consumption, with some sectors having a significant virtual water content in their products. Virtual water multipliers were used to analyze the trade balance and determine whethernation
About 4.4% of the global emissions of greenhouse gases can be ascribed to healthcare. Intensive care is among the most resource intensive specialties and the purpose of this study was to quantify the total climate impact of a Swedish intensive care unit (ICU) and identify modifiable elements that can lower the intensive care unit’s climate impact. A process-based life cycle assessment was conducte
This article presents the results of groundwater monitoring over a period of six years and the interpretation of these results by a reactive transport model, following an In Situ Recovery (ISR) test on the Dulaan Uul uranium deposit in Mongolia. An environmental monitoring survey was set up using 17 piezometers, from which it has been possible to describe the changes in the water composition befor
Three different processing methods of raw oat okara were used in order to determine which method will have the highest impact in eliminating unwanted microorganisms and making the okara acceptable for human consumption. Processed okara was also fermented to determine the impact of processing technique on its fermenting capabilities and to develop a starting material for a sustainable and functiona

Waste is an inescapable product of economic activity. As we now face a world economy, the waste problem is also increasingly an international one and needs to be handled as such. This thesis investigates what type of economic processes that have received attention from the international community for their role in waste creation, but focuses primarily what type of processes that have been ignored.
Previous studies have shown that belief in the healthiness of organic food is a strong motive for buying organic. Typically, a positive relation between a nutritionally balanced diet (with respect to fruit, vegetables and meat) and organic consumption is also found. As market shares of organic food are much smaller than those of conventional food, consumers may face a trade-off between buying orga
