Beyond an absolving role for sustainable development : Assessing consumption as a basis for sustainable societies
- 2019
-
In: Sustainable Development. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0968-0802 .- 1099-1719. ; 27:1, s. 61-68
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Three decades after the launch of sustainable development as a key objective for the global community, the unsustainable exploitation of the planet's species, spaces and systems continues. This paper examines this failure by discussing the strategy of control over nature, and the idea of balance between human endeavour and nature, inherent in the term sustainable. The relevance of such ecological balance is assessed by comparing how consumption typically appears in modern human societies versus nature. This presents traits of the human actor which depart significantly from the traits of actors in typified natural settings, from which ideas of ecological balance are taken. Calling for an alternative framing of the relationship between human society and nature, possible adaptation towards a biological understanding of such a relationship is discussed through features of today's consumption, including its connection to needs, the role of labour, and the use of energy and technology.

Energy performance and housing prices
- 2014
-
In: Sustainable Development. - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 0968-0802 .- 1099-1719. ; 22:6, s. 404-419
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We investigate whether mandatory energy performance certificates of existing residential properties contribute to property price premiums after the implementation of the EU directive on the energy performance of buildings in the Swedish private housing market. Analysing mandatory energy performance certificates of the 2009–2010 private housing transactions, we find that energy performance is associated with transaction price in situations when it is conditional on a reference benchmark. We also document property price premiums for energy performance within housing segments built before 1960 and those with a lower transaction price per square metre. Our results suggest that the property market values energy performance, and we make recommendations on which housing segments need policy support to encourage energy improvements.

Cognitive improvement following weight gain in patients with anorexia nervosa : A systematic review
- 2021
-
In: European eating disorders review. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 1072-4133 .- 1099-0968. ; 29:3, s. 402-426
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective: Anorexia nervosa (AN) has been associated with cognitive impairment. While re-nutrition is one of the main treatment targets, the effect on cognitive impairments is unclear. The aim of this review was to examine whether cognitive functions improve after weight gain in patients with AN.Method: A systematic review was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses statement guidelines (PROSPERO CRD42019081993). Literature searches were conducted May 20th , 2019 in PubMed, EMBASE, PsychINFO and Cochrane Library. Pairs of reviewers screened reports independently based on titles/abstracts (N = 6539) and full texts (N = 378). Furthermore, they assessed the quality of reports, including whether practice effects were accounted for.Results: Twenty-four longitudinal reports were included featuring 757 patients and 419 healthy controls. Six studies examined children and adolescents. Four out of four studies found processing speed to improve above and beyond what could be assigned to practice effects and three out of four studies found that cognitive flexibility was unaffected after weight gain in children and adolescents. Results from studies of adults were inconclusive.Discussion: The literature on cognitive change in patients with AN following weight gain is sparse. Preliminary conclusions can be made only for children and adolescents, where weight gain appeared to be associated with improved processing speed.

Comorbid depression as a negative predictor of weight gain during treatment of anorexia nervosa : A systematic scoping review
- 2020
-
In: European eating disorders review. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 1072-4133 .- 1099-0968. ; 28:6, s. 605-619
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious mental illness with high rates of relapse and mortality. Psychiatric comorbidities are common but their impact on the prognosis is largely unknown.OBJECTIVE: The aim was to investigate the influence of psychiatric comorbidity on weight gain during treatment of AN.METHODS: A systematic search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and PsycINFO. Studies evaluating psychiatric comorbidity as a predictor for treatment outcome (weight gain) were included, however, comorbid alcohol/drug addiction was excluded from this review.RESULTS: Four thousand five hundred and twenty six publications were identified from which 15 were included. The majority of the included studies had a prospective open naturalistic study design, a short-term follow-up period, and were based on small populations of primarily adolescent and adult women. Four studies indicate depression, and two obsessiveness as negative prognostic factors, whilst one study indicated moderate depression and yet another, neuroticism, as positive predictors for weight gain.DISCUSSION: The systematic scoping review found a large number of publications whereof only a few directly described the influence of psychiatric comorbidity on weight gain in AN. Overall, studies were heterogeneous in design, purpose and outcome making comparisons difficult. Findings were divergent but depression had a negative influence on weight gain in four studies.

Personal Norms for Dealing with Climate Change : Results from a Survey Using Moral Foundations Theory
- 2015
-
In: Sustainable Development. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0968-0802 .- 1099-1719. ; 23:6, s. 381-395
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Climate change has become one of the main issues in environmental and sustainability discussions during the last decade. Acting to reduce climate change can be viewed as a prosocial behavior, and previous research has found that personal norms are important in explaining these types of behavior, together with other attitudinal factors. In this study we use Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) to explore the antecedents of personal climate change norms together with three attitudinal factors: problem awareness, social norms and adherence to the New Ecological Paradigm. Analyzing data from a nationwide survey (N = 1086) conducted in Sweden, we find that the moral foundations concerning harm and fairness are positively associated with personal climate change norms, whereas authority has a negative relation. However, the moral foundations from MFT contribute less in explaining personal climate change norms compared with the attitudinal factors included in the study. Theoretical and empirical implications are discussed.

A study of the provision of environmental information in financial analysts' research reports
- 2008
-
In: Sustainable Development. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0968-0802 .- 1099-1719. ; 16:3, s. 180-194
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Reporting of environmental information along with financial information has become an important research topic. Research to date has focused on the nature of the information reported by companies. This study extends prior research by examining the inclusion of environmental information by financial analysts in their research reports on companies in the chemical and in the oil and gas industries. Both companies and financial analysts are divided into subsets by geographic region, Europe and North America. Results show that only 35 per cent of financial analysts' reports have environmental information. Those reports that do have such information have more environmental information for North American companies than for European companies and analysts tend to report more information for companies in their regions. The chemical industry receives more attention, especially for downside information. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.

A longitudinal study of perfectionism in adolescent onset anorexia nervosa-restricting type
- 2008
-
In: European eating disorders review. - : Wiley. - 1072-4133 .- 1099-0968. ; 16:5, s. 386-394
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This longitudinal study analyses self-reported perfectionism, eating disorders and psychiatric symptoms during recovery from anorexia nervosa (AN). With a recovered design, a group of 68 previous patients with AN was studied in two follow-up studies, 8 and 16 years after 1st admission to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP). Levels of perfectionism stayed the same while eating disorder symptoms and psychiatric symptoms decreased during recovery. Levels of perfectionism were inversely related to duration of remission so that individuals that had short illness duration had lower levels of perfectionism at both follow-ups. Patients with initial high levels of perfectionism may be at risk for a long illness duration which we recommend clinicians to acknowledge.

Family Climate And Recovery In Adolescent Onset Eating Disorders : a prospective study
- 2012
-
In: European eating disorders review. - Hoboken, USA : Wiley-Blackwell. - 1072-4133 .- 1099-0968. ; 20:1, s. e96-e102
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective: This prospective study investigated the self-assessed family climate of adolescent patients and their parents during treatment of and recovery from eating disorders.Method: One hundred two girls aged 13-17 years with eating disorders, answered the self-report Family Climate Scale (FCS) and Eating Disorders Inventory for Children at initial assessment and after 18 and 36 months. The FCS was also answered by their parents at the same time points.Results: Self-assessed family climate and eating disorder symptoms were similar for recovered (R) and nonrecovered (NR) adolescents at initial assessment and at 18 months. At 36 months, FCS Closeness was higher for R, and FCS Distance was lower for R compared with NR. Parents of R adolescents had higher scores on FCS Closeness and lower scores on FCS Chaos compared with parents of NR adolescents at the 36-month follow-up.Conclusion: Self-reported family climate was associated with recovery. Changes in eating disorder symptoms preceded changes in family climate. Copyright (C) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association.
