Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Obesity is heritable and predisposes to many diseases. To understand the genetic basis of obesity better, here we conduct a genome-wide association study and Metabochip meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals. This analysis identifies 97 BMI-associated loci (P < 5 × 10(-8)), 56 of which are novel. Five loci demonstrate clear evidence of several independent association signals, and many loci have significant effects on other metabolic phenotypes. The 97 loci account for ∼2.7% of BMI variation, and genome-wide estimates suggest that common variation accounts for >20% of BMI variation. Pathway analyses provide strong support for a role of the central nervous system in obesity susceptibility and implicate new genes and pathways, including those related to synaptic function, glutamate signalling, insulin secretion/action, energy metabolism, lipid biology and adipogenesis.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article examines different actors’ perspectives on traditional music workshops in Sweden. The material consists of questionnaires answered by workshop participants, and interviews with teachers at the same workshops. The workshops are regarded as educational arenas characterised by non-formal learning practices for adult amateurs in the field of Swedish folk music. The study shows that the workshops are of importance to the participants in two ways: as opportunities for learning and as opportunities for socialising with others. These two aspects of the workshops are important also for the teachers. In my discussion of the results of the study, I raise the question whether learning and socialising should be seen as two sides of the same coin, and if this double nature can be regarded as a central aspect of the importance of the workshops for both participants and teachers.
