    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Adolescent; Celiac disease; Focus groups; Gluten-free diet; Incidence; Infant feeding; Patient compliance; Primary prevention; Social Constructionism; Stigma; Domestic science and nutrition; Hushålls- och kostvetenskap; Kostvetenskap; Food and Nutrition;

    Abstract : Background Sweden has experienced a unique epidemic of celiac disease (CD) in children younger than 2 years of age. The epidemic was partly explained by changes over time in infant feeding and indicated a multifactorial aetiology. READ MORE

  4. 22. Modeling the Potential for Carbon Removal in Agriculture: Integrating Farmer Perspectives

    Author : Andreas Rehn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Crop Rotation; Climate Change Mitigation; Carbon Dioxide Removal CDR Agricultural Practices; Stakeholder participation; Perennial Ley Crops; Biochar; Soil Organic Carbon SOC ; Landscape Modeling;

    Abstract : The overarching aim of this thesis is to provide insights into the dynamic processes governing SOC stocks and to identify viable paths for agricultural systems to contribute to climate change mitigation. By integrating current scientific knowledge of carbon sequestration in agriculture with feasible agricultural applications, this work proposes local realistic strategies for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) and presents a quantitative assessment of their potential for CO2 removal.

  5. 23. Co-developing pest management for organic apple production : combining participatory action research, activity theory, laboratory and field trials in a Swedish context

    Author : Weronika Swiergiel; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Participatory Action Research (PAR) is an interventionist, action-orientated and transdisciplinary approach to applied research that strives for the collaborative development of any practice together with relevant stakeholders. It enhances the relevance of research to practice by active stakeholder involvement in all research steps, including the spaces in which the practice is conducted, its iterative knowledge construction and the recognition that knowledge exists in practice and is created when attempting to transform reality.

  6. 24. The development of novel foods from Swedish pulses : Raw material composition and processing effects

    Author : Ferawati Ferawati; Cornelia M. Witthöft; Susanna Kariluoto; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; legumes; pulse flour; functional properties; dietary fibre; folate; volatile compounds; cheese analogue; protein isolate; high-moisture extrusion; meat analogue.; Livsmedelsvetenskap; Food Science;

    Abstract : A gradual shift towards a healthier and more sustainable diet with a higher quantity of plant-based products is suggested to be one of the most efficient ways to alleviate environmental pressure from the current food system. Pulses could play a crucial role in this shift due to the multi-faceted benefits they have on the environment and human health. READ MORE

  7. 25. The role of subsoil properties for phosphorus leaching in agricultural soils

    Author : Helena Andersson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Phosphorus (P) leaching from agricultural land is a large contributor to eutrophication of many surface waters and the Baltic Sea. Better knowledge of P sorption and release in the subsoil could enable the development of effective mitigation strategies for P leaching. READ MORE
