Detailed phenotyping is required to deepen our understanding of the biological mechanisms behind genetic associations. In addition, the impact of potentially modifiable risk factors on disease requires analytical frameworks that allow causal inference. Here, we discuss the characteristics of Recall-by-Genotype (RbG) as a study design aimed at addressing both these needs. We describe two broad scen

This paper discusses how archaeologists might investigate issues of poverty by focusing on poorhouses. The poor and deprived are rarely prominent objects in archaeological research, probably because archaeologists find it difficult to relate to a concept such as poverty. At the same time, there is material culture that can be clearly linked to poverty. One such materiality is poorhouses. While the

In 2018 90 billion tonnes of raw material was extracted globally. It is estimated 20% of this went to waste and with the quickening pace of global metabolism this figure is predicted to have doubled by 2060. In the context of the Anthropocene we need to reduce this incessant cycle of mass extraction and production of waste, change the production systems from linear to cyclic and prove for industri
Sammandrag Syftet med denna uppsats är att fastställa positiva och negativa fursteideal i Karlskrönikan, ett propagandaverk som utformats på beställning av Karl Knutsson i mitten av 1400-talet. Genom att använda mig av den hermeneutiska cirkeln som metodologiskt angreppssätt har jag närmat mig materialet med ett öppet förhållningssätt och låtit Karlskrönikan själv styra mig till rätt frågeställnin

Det är inte lava, utan millimeter- till centimeterstora fragment av pimpsten, så kallade lapilli, som har kastats upp en bit i l
