In this paper, I discuss artworks in which the artists make use of the affect of shame to problematize art fields as “structures-of-feeling” (Williams, 1977), from feminist, queer and anti-racist perspectives. Based on Sara Ahmed’s (2010) suggestion that feelings may be how structures get under our skin I argue that these artworks critically depict the role that emotions play for the compliance to

The book is an investigation into why microchipping, despite its many negative connotations in an international context, is so relatively defused in Sweden. The book’s discussion is built around interviews with 15 chipped Swedes, and the Swedish case is studied from three main themes: Surveillance, Science fiction and Transhumanism.

Rapporten beskriver arbetet med att vidareutveckla och använda ett prognosverktyg för uppföljning och utvärdering av hur jordbrukspolitiken påverkar svenska jordbruksfåglar. Uppdraget gällde att dels utreda möjligheterna till förbättring av analysverktyget och rapporteringen av populationsutvecklingen för Sveriges jordbruksfåglar sammanfattad i Farmland Bird Index (FBI) samt att använda verktyget

Background and AimPostpartum-specific obsessions and compulsions are common in postpartum women, but validated measures to comprehensively assess such symptoms are few. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of a self-report version of the Parental Thoughts and Behaviors Checklist (PTBC) that assesses postpartum-specific intrusive thoughts, associate

Den ökande urbaniseringen leder till att städer breder ut sig över om-givande landskap, med förlust av jordbruksmark och naturmiljöer som följd. Ambitionen att städer inte skall breda ut sig leder istället till att kvarvarande naturliga, obebyggda och övergivna miljöer inom städer får stryka på foten till förmån för förtätad bebyggelse och infrastruktur. Urbaniseringen går på så sätt ut över biolo

EU har sedan 2013 begränsat användningen av tre neonikotinoider i grödor som är attraktiva för bin. En stor del av den kunskap vi har idag om hur bin påverkas av neonikotinoider kommer från laboratoriestudier av framförallt honungsbin som har matats med växtskyddsmedel. I ett forskningsprojekt har forskare från Lunds universitet och SLU i samarbete med Jordbruksverket undersökt hur ett växtskyddsm

In the remedial phase following an accidental radioactive release, it is important that soil decontamination measures are carried out on the areas that contribute most to the radiation dose. In this study, the newly developed concept of isodose lines was applied to the area around typical Swedish dwellings to identify these areas. The influence of the most common building materials in Sweden, wood

TEMA: BIODIVERSITET I CENTRUMEtt av Sveriges 43 nationella strategiska forskningsområden BECC – Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate – fokuserar på biologisk mångfald och ekosystemtjänster i en värld präglad av klimatförändring. Med ett tvärvetenskapligt angreppssätt arbetar vi med hur svensk markanvändning kan förenas med en långsiktigt hållbar utveckling i ett föränderligt k

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB are both involved in periodontal wound healing. Each of these growth factors exerts a positive proliferative effect on cells of the periodontium in vitro. However, in vivo the peptide bradykinin is one of a complex array of mediators present in addition to these growth factors. The purposes of this investigation were to: 1)

Chemical cross-linking was used to analyze the binding sites for the agonist bradykinin (BK) and the antagonists NPC17731 and HOE140 on the bovine B2 bradykinin receptor. [3H]BK and [3H]NPC17731 bound with high affinity to the same B2 receptor in bovine myometrial membranes as determined by the total number of specific binding sites and pharmacological specificity of the binding of these two radio

Den pågående klimatförändringen påverkar den biologiska mångfalden direkt,men också indirekt via klimatanpassning av skogs- och jordbruk. Det strategiskaforskningsområdet BECC fokuserar på bägge dessa utmaningar, för att bidra tillen kunskapsbas som gör att man kan fatta bra beslut om hur våra landskap skallskötas.

Several B2 bradykinin (BK) receptor-specific antagonists including HOE140, NPC17731, and NPC567 exhibited negative intrinsic activity, which was observed as a decrease in basal phosphoinositide hydrolysis in primary cultures of rat myometrial cells, and this response was opposite to that elicited by the agonist BK. The order of potency of the antagonists in attenuating basal activity was essential

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

In this study we investigated receptor-specific cellular signals elicited by kinin agonists in cultured rabbit superior mesenteric artery smooth muscle cells. Kinins promoted an increase in inositol phosphate formation and arachidonic acid release in these cells. The responses elicited by des- Arg9-bradykinin (des-Arg9-BK), a B1 kinin agonist, were antagonized by des- Arg9[Leu8]-BK, a B1 kinin ant

Bradykinin (BK) and bombesin (BN) stimulate an increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of a 120-kDa group of proteins (pps120) in Swiss 3T3 cells (Leeb-Lundberg, L. M. F., and Song X.-H. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 7746-7749). Here, we show that a component of pps120, p125, was specifically immunoprecipitated with antibodies against the p21ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP). The major portion of

Bradykinin receptors have been identified in human gingival fibroblasts; the primary signal transduction pathways and their dependence on calcium have been characterized. Binding data revealed a calcium-independent binding of bradykinin to the cell membrane with a receptor density of 25,000 receptors per cell and a K d of 1.6 nM. The bradykinin receptor-mediated activation of phospholipase C (PLC
