Group exhibition. 08.06.2025 – 20.07.2025 Walking, hiking, running, trekking, pilgrimage, escaping...The exhibition’s heart is the immediate experience of the landscape’s vastness, without infrastructure and with a sense of one’s own physical energy, but also of its limits. The exhibition All good things are wild and free. Wandern, pilgern, Spuren finden is about movement in nature and being moved

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroppens blodglukoskoncentration regleras av celler i de Langerhanska öarna i bukspottkörteln. β (beta)-celler frisätter insulin då sockerhalten i blodet ökar, tex efter en måltid. Insulin verkar via speciella membranbundna proteiner (receptorer) på celler i muskel, hjärta och fettväv och påverkar dessa att ta upp glukos från blodet. När blodsockerhalten sjunker, t.ex. We have investigated the in vitro effects of long-chain free fatty acids (FFAs) on mouse pancreatic α- and β-cells by a combination of electrophysiological recordings, intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) microfluorimetry and hormone release measurements. Acute addition of the saturated FFA palmitate to intact islets doubled insulin as well as glucagon secretion in the presence of 1 or 15 mM glucose and t

Pepsin‐catalyzed synthesis of protected peptides was studied in two‐phase systems containing up to 50% (by volume) of aqueous phase. A methodological study was carried out to determine the optimum conditions for the synthesis of the model protected peptide Z‐Phe‐Phe‐OMe. Several parameters such as concentrations of carboxylic and amino components, pH of the aqueous phase, ratio of organic to aqueo

Free fatty acids (FFA) have generally been proposed to regulate pancreatic insulin release by an intracellular mechanism involving inhibition of CPT-1. The recently de-orphanized G-protein coupled receptor, FFA(1)R/GPR40, has been shown to be essential for fatty-acid-stimulated insulin release in MIN6 mouse insulinoma cells. The CPT-1 inhibitor, 2-bromo palmitate (2BrP), was investigated for its a

Background: Although free fatty acids have been positively associated with risk factors for stroke, the role of plasma free fatty acids in the development of stroke has not been elucidated in older adults. Aims: We sought to examine the association between plasma free fatty acids and incident stroke. Methods: Prospective cohort of 4369 men and women ≥65 years of age in the Cardiovascular Health St

Sweden and Norway are both Social Democratic welfare states where abortions are legal, however Norway has a conscience clause in its abortion law and Sweden does not. This provides for a puzzle as well as research questions aimed at understanding how the debates in Sweden and Norway differ and if there is any difference over time as well. Since this also raises the question of why they differ an a

PURPOSE: It is generally believed that large eyelid defects must be repaired using a vascularized flap for 1 lamella, while the other can be a free graft. Recent studies indicate that the pedicle of a tarsoconjunctival flap does not contribute to blood perfusion. The purpose of this study was to explore whether large eyelid defects can be repaired using a free bilamellar eyelid autograft alone.MET

In scrutinizing a scene, the eyes alternate between fixations and saccades. During a fixation, two component processes can be distinguished: visual encoding and selection of the next fixation target. We aimed to distinguish the neural correlates of these processes in the electrical brain activity prior to a saccade onset. Participants viewed color photographs of natural scenes, in preparation for

Esters of the pentacyclic sesquiterpene velutinal have been isolated from Lactarius species, and converted to the free alcohol by base-catalyzed transesterfication in EtOH/EtO-.

The valence states of free neutral potassium clusters produced by a gas aggregation source were probed by synchrotron radiation based photoelectron spectroscopy. The first ionization energy (IE) of the clusters was determined to be 10% larger than the work function of bulk potassium. Using electrostatic concepts and the IE, the mean size of the clusters was estimated to be approximate to 2000 atom

We present new results for the inner valence levels of clusters of the three inert gases Ar, Kr and Xe based on photoelectron spectroscopy studies. The inner valence levels are compared to the localised core levels and to the delocalised outer valence levels. This comparison shows a gradual change from a relatively localised behaviour for Ar inner valence 3s, over the intermediate case of Kr inner

We present a novel method for monitoring isothermal lipid hydration using a sorption microcalorimeter. A measuring cell of the double-twin calorimeter consists of two vessels connected by a stainless steel tube. The upper vessel contains pure water, and the bottom vessel is loaded with the lipid sample. This calorimeter allows for simultaneous measurement of the partial molar enthalpy and the chem
