Childhood adherence to a potentially healthy and sustainable Nordic diet and later overweight: The Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (M…
2020
Abstract The New Nordic Diet (NND) is a potentially healthy and sustainable dietary pattern represented by locally available and traditionally consumed foods in the Northern countries. The diet has been commonly examined in adult populations, but less is known regarding its potential associations with overweight/obesity in children. We have previously developed child diet scores measuring compliance to the NND at child age 6 and 18 months and 3 and 7 years. In this study, we aimed to describe child and maternal characteristics and assess potential associations between the age‐specific diet scores and child overweight at 8 years. This study is based on the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child …
Cell Envelopes of Methanogens
2010
Methanogens play an important role in the global carbon cycle, because they are involved in the last step of anaerobic degradation of organic material to methane. Although the first report on methane emanation from aquatic muds was given by Alessandro Volta in the year 1776, the first methanogen was not obtained in pure culture before 1947. Special culture techniques had to be developed for growing the strict anaerobic methanogenic isolates. The methanogens were the first species of the archaeal domain (Archaea) detected. Their unique biochemical and genetic properties have stimulated basic investigations of this microbial group in the last three decades. The methanogenic Archaea possess a …

Pat Barker’s Regeneration: Subverting the Masculinity of World War I Official Discourse
2014
Pat Barker’s Regeneration (1991) offers an imaginative deconstruction of the myth of the Great War as produced within British official patriotic rhetoric and in some of the best-known lyrics by Wilfred Owen (1893- 1918), who, together with Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), has always been celebrated as one of the leading War poets. If Owen’s poetry partly entails the apolitical sublimation of the devastating facts of war through the ambiguous sentiment of pity, in Barker’s novel any suppression of emotions is posited as artificial and counterbalanced by a thorough exploration of those contradictory aspects of the Great War which official discourses have tended to obscure: the homoerotic experi…
