A recent study carried out by our group demonstrated that exogenous dopamine increases the somatostatin (SS) receptor–effector system in the rat striatum. The present study examined the participation of the D1- and D2-dopaminergic systems in the modulation of the rat striatal SS receptor–effector system by use of the D1-receptor agonist and antagonist SKF 38393 and SCH 23390, respectively, and the

High-spin states of the mass A = 39 mirror pair K-39 and Ca-39 were investigated via the fusion-evaporation reaction Si-28+O-16 at 125 MeV beam energy. The GAMMASPHERE array in conjunction with the 4 pi charged-particle detector array MICROBALL and neutron detectors was used to detect gamma rays in coincidence with evaporated light particles. The results of the first high-spin study of the T-z = -

This paper is divided in three parts: (i) the measurement of yields and decay losses of Li and Be isotopes released from a thin foil tantalum target at the CERN/ISOLDE PS-Booster; (ii) results from β-decay experiments on 12Be and 14Be, an improved half-life of 21.49(3) ms has been obtained for 12Be; (iii) the β-decay of 9C. An outline of the analysis procedure to determine the branching at high ex

Populations of European starlings have declined over large parts of northern and western Europe during the last 20 years. It has been suggested that reduced availability of pasture in the agricultural landscape was one reason for this decline. To investigate this, breeding colonies for starlings were established in southern Sweden, in agricultural landscapes with different availabilities of pastur

Repair and reconstruction of major nerve trunks in the upper extremity is a very challenging surgical problem. Today, there is no surgical repair technique that can assure recovery of tactile discrimination in the hand of an adult patient following nerve repair. In contrast, young individuals usually attain a complete recovery of functional sensibility. The outcome from nerve repair depends mainly

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av tre delar. Den första, Från utbildningsmarknad till of-fentlig utbildning. Svensk flickskola 1874-1962, behandlar dels integrationen av flickornas sekundärutbildning i den offentliga utbildningsorganisationen, dels förstärkningen respektive försvagningen av denna speciellt genuskodade utbild-ning. Sekundärutbildningen har varit könssegregerad och The thesis is divided into three sections. The first, “From an education market to public education. The Swedish girls’ school 1874-1962”, deals with the integration of girls’ secondary education into the public education system, as well as with the strengthening and weakening of this special, gender-coded education. Secondary education was gender segregated and integration involved a process of s

This thesis concerns the numerical simulations and modelling of the flow structure and scalar transport in stirred reactors. For this Large Eddy Simulations (LES) have been used. The flow situation in a stirred reactor includes several flow phenomena that are not well predicted by "standard" two-equation models, e.g. swirl, stagnation points and anisotropic turbulence. Also, using LES one can obta

Ett försök att tänka om och tänka nytt när det gäller definitionen av begreppet politisk teater utifrån två aktuella iscensättningar.

To obtain more information about muscle function in patients with dysphagia, simultaneous barium swallow and computerized pharyngeal manometry with solid-state pressure transducers was employed for the evaluation of the pharynx and the pharyngoesophageal segment (PES) in 30 consecutive patients. The manometry catheter was positioned under fluoroscopic control, providing localized measurements of t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling består av tre olika uppsatser. Den första uppsatsen, Technical Efficiency and Ownership: The Case of Booking Centres on the Swedish Taxi Market” behandlar problemet med konkurrens på lika villkor. Upprinnelsen till uppsatsen var diskussioner mellan privata och offentliga aktörer på den svenska taximarknaden. De privata aktörerna hävdade att de offentligThis thesis consists of three different essays, all of which have arisen from a practical problem. In the first essay, “Technical efficiency and ownership: The case of booking centers in the Swedish Taxi Market” the purpose is to examine the question of competition on an equal basis between privately and publicly owned booking centers in the Swedish taxi market. One way to answer this question is

d A polymer microfabricated proteomic sample preparation and MALDI MS sample presentation device, the integrated selective enrichment target (ISET), comprising an array of perforated nanovials is reported. Each perforated nanovial can be filled with selective extraction media (microbeads) for purification and concentration of protein/peptides prior to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization ma

[1] Vigorous debate still surrounds the cloud electrification process and unexplained regional variations in lightning activity. Here, we show that climatological maxima in lightning activity are associated with small effective diameter D-e of ice crystals near cumulonimbus cloud tops. This relationship, unlike lightning's more well-known relationship with cloud top height, is consistent over land

IgE switching requires the prior induction of CE germline transcripts which is mediated by the concerted binding of STAT-6 and NF kappaB to the CE promoter. These transcription factors are regulated by IL-4 and CD40, respectively. However the latter can effect other signaling pathways and the present study explores the role of p38 MAPK in induction of CE germline transcripts. CD40 and IL-4, both a

Many studies have been published about giving and receiving bad messages. However, only a few of them have followed the patients all the way through a disease as is done in this study. Many studies have been written about patients' coping strategies. In this study we will keep within the bounds of coping through information only. The aim of the study is to investigate patients' views of informatio

Popular Abstract in SwedishVad är barnets bästa i en domstolsprocess? Hur skall barns behov och intressen tillvaratas under utredningsarbete och beslut, och av vem? I vilken utsträckning skall barn få komma till tals, och varför? Under senare år har barns rättsliga ställning inom olika områden tilldragit allt större intresse inom rättsvetenskapen, bland rättstillämpare och hos allmänheten. SverigeThis dissertation deals with the question of the child´s legal status in legal proceedings concerning its own person. Special problems that may arise in investigations concerning the situation of the child and in decisions on measures to be taken in the best interest of the child are also examined. The Care of Young Persons Act (1990:52) constitutes the framework of this study. According to the Ac
