New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution.
Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to cardiometabolic traits, here we conduct genome-wide association meta-analyses of traits related to waist and hip circumferences in up to 224,459 individuals. We identify 49 loci (33 new) associated with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index (BMI), and an additional 19 loci newly associated with related waist and hip circumference measures (P < 5 × 10(-8)). In total, 20 of the 49 waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI loci show significant sexual dimorphism, 19 of which display a stronger effect in women. The identified loci were enriched for genes expressed in adipose tissue and for putative regulatory elements in adipocytes. Pathway analyses implicated adipogenesis, angiogenesis, transcriptional regulation and insulin resistance as processes affecting fat distribution, providing insight into potential pathophysiological mechanisms
Vägar till vuxenliv : Trettioåringar från Norrtälje om uppväxten, skolan och vuxenlivet
The purpose of this study is to investigate, and if possible explain, how background, childhood, and education in a municipal or regional context can affect young peoples’ life trajectories. The living conditions for the population in the coastal region Roslagen with its geographical and historical specificities has during centuries largely been characterized by practical crafts-manship. With a growing share of non-permanent residents in the region with demand for help and services, this culture has during the later years been able to prosper. The social reproduc-tion in the municipality also seems to be extensive. In addition to original background, appar-ently the municipality’s service-dominated trade and industry culture has also affected the choice of education and profession of the youth in Norrtälje. The share choosing secondary school programmes aiming for vocational specialization has during many years been relatively high, while the share of those who have continued to study after secondary school has been relatively low. The structure of the municipality’s trade and industry can, despite a harsher competition in the labour market, to a lower extent be said to benefit an academically educated work force. The study is based on interviews with twenty women and men – born in 1980 – who have grown up and gone to school in the municipality of Norrtälje. The interviews have been con-ducted between the years 2010 and 2011. Those interviewed have been given the opportunity to talk about their childhood, education and establishment to profession and to their life as adults. Their schooling coincided largely with the national school reforms during the first half of the 1990s. The result of the investigation underline the conditions described above. Parents with substan-tial education assets and esteemed social positions seem to have had a positive influence on the children’s educational performance and their willingness to continue to study. Limited access to educational, professional and social resources in the home environment in combination with various learning difficulties lead to less successful results in school and lower motivation to continue to study. These latter youths however, have utilized the possibility of the social net-work of relatives which seems to be a contributing factor to professional establishment. One can conclude that the population in Norrtälje with less educational capital has been able to compensate this with a large amount of social capital in forms of social networks. In a municipal and regional context the life trajectories of young people seems to depend on several factors: access to cultural and social capital in the family, school results and not the least on social bonds with relatives and friends and connections to the surrounding nature

Läs- och skrivundervisning : En studie om lärares undervisningsmetoder och tillvägagångssätt
Syftet med denna studie var att ge exempel på hur lärare arbetar med läs- och skrivinlärning i sin undervisning i årskurs 1. Syftet var även att ge exempel på hur lärarna motiverar sina val av metoder och hur de arbetar med elever som har läs- och skrivsvårigheter. För att uppfylla syftet och få svar på våra frågeställningar har vi intervjuat 9 lärare. Vi gjorde en kvalitativ studie och använde oss av den semistrukturerade intervjumodellen. I vårt resultat framkom det att lärarna blandade metoder och plockade delar från fem olika metoder för att nå det bästa resultatet. Lärarnas kunskapssyn låg till grund för hur de blandade. Deras motiveringar till val av metoder handlade bland annat om trygghet. Ett par lärare hänvisade dock till vetenskap och Lpo 94. När det gällde åtgärderna för elever med läs- och skrivsvårigheter framkom det att specialläraren tillkallades i första hand i de flesta fallen
Benefits of BACB Certification for Universities in Europe : A Case Study from Sweden
The endorsement of the Behaviour Analyst Certification Board (BACB) program by the European Association for Behaviour Analysis and the BACB’s accreditation by the National Council for Certifying Agencies of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence are important factors for professional development and identity from the perspective of European behaviour analysts. Countries within Europe have different ideological and philosophical assumptions concerning important conceptual and practical knowledge for professionals like licensed psychologists and special educators. The conceptual knowledge base in one country might differ from that of another country. Certification in behaviour analysis, however, would clearly indicate that an individual has knowledge and skills in applied behaviour analysis and can apply them in an ethical and accountable manner in practical settings, regardless of the country in which the individual was trained and the academic discipline in which the individual obtained degree or coursework. Thus BACB certification may promote collaboration among countries, and may come to serve as a tie that binds theory and practice across countries as well as disciplines
