In this study we examined the involvement of the focal adhesion-associated proteins p125FAK and paxillin as substrates for bradykinin (BK)-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation in Swiss 3T3 cells and the potential role of protein kinase C and Ca2+ in these events. BK (1 UM) stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK and paxillin. In addition, BK also increased the phosphotyrosine content of the
Plasma membrane vesicles of high purity were isolated from spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaves by aqueous polymer 2-phase partition and analyzed with respect to their protein organization. This was done by Triton X-114 fractionation which separates integral, hydrophobic, membrane-spanning proteins from peripheral, hydrophilic membrane proteins. About 80% of the proteins were recovered in the hydrop
Legacy streamer data and newer 3D ocean-bottom-cable data are cross-matched and analysed for time-lapse analysis of geomechanical changes due to production in the Valhall Field. The issues relating to time-lapse analysis using two such distinctly different data sets are addressed to provide an optimal cross-matching workflow that includes 3D warping. Additionally an assessment of the differences b
A sense can be given, in qualitative rather than quantitative terms, to the three-part distinction, within the semiotics of culture, of Culture, Non-culture, and Extra-culture, by having recourse to the analysis of pronouns into two binary correlations, personality and subjectivity, originally proposed by Benveniste. The present communication will address two related themes: the possible relations
This paper explores discourses in higher education viewing two pairs of concepts, on the one hand, the concepts of use- vs. exchange value and on the other, the concepts of deep vs. surface learning. Drawing on Yrjö Engeströms’ position of use- vs. exchange value, and his elaboration on the activity system, we assert that any component in an activity system combines two inherent forces which compe
This paper uses data from a 2010 Swedish nationwide survey (done in cooperation with the SOM institute in Gothenburg) in order to study whether citizens who engage in participatory activities, especially signing petitions, while using sites like Facebook share demographic and other features with citizens who are known from previous studies to be more likely to participate in politics. Does the m
Drawing upon a discourse analysis of policy approach, it is shown that a 2013 Swedish government policy proposing semiprivatization of universities is not a radical departure from Swedish social democratic values about public institutions, but rather the current iteration of a longer neoliberal semiotic cycle in higher education.
This article intends to shed some light on the contextual realities that shape the perceptions and practices of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Saudi Arabia. Using both primary and secondary data collection and analysis, we chart some of the key socio-cultural and business drivers that shape the picture of Saudi Arabian CSR. In addition to providing an account of an important, but signifi
