1. Russia on the Move-The Railroads and the Exodus From Compulsory Collectivism 1861-1914
Sammanfattning : Western scholars of Tsarist Russia emphasize the continuity of collectivism on the Russian plain. Numerous endogenous factors explain the human clustering that occurred as kinship structures evolved into territorial agrarian communal patterns. LÄS MER
2. Linking lake variability, climate, and human activity in Basotu, Tanzania
Sammanfattning : Paleoenvironmental investigations establish important baseline knowledge of the natural variability of lake systems, to better understand human impacts on the landscape, and the effects of climate change on water resources. By combining long-term environmental history with investigations into modern land use patterns and climatological events, a wider perspective can be reached that has practical applications in water governance.

3. Ghrelin in feeding: new insights into its role and the neurocircuits involved
Sammanfattning : Appetite, originally evolved to ensure we consume enough of diverse nutrients to survive famines, has lost its survival advantage in our modern society, where food is plentiful. The hedonic aspect of appetite can indeed induce over-consumption of food, a major cause for the obesity pandemic. LÄS MER
4. Neural circuit mapping af orexigenic systems
Sammanfattning : Orexigenic systems in the brain process appetite and/or hunger information and ultimately coordinate feeding responses. These brain circuits are critical for survival and originally evolved to ensure that we consume sufficient amounts of diverse nutrients to survive future famines. LÄS MER
