The ECL cells constitute the major endocrine cell population in the acid-producing part of the stomach. Gastrin from G cells in the antrum is the main stimulus of gastric acid secretion. Gastrin stimulates the ECL cells in the oxyntic mucosa to mobilize histamine, which in turn stimulates the parietal cells to produce hydrochloric acid. In the present study we assessed the usefulness and limitatio

Changes of the electronic structure accompanied by charge localization and a transition to an antiferromagnetic ground state were observed in the organic semiconductor (DOEO)(4)[HgBr4]center dot TCE. Localization starts in the temperature region of about 150 K and the antiferromagnetic state occurs below 60 K. The magnetic moment of the crystal contains contributions of inclusions (droplets), and

1. Measurements of cell capacitance were used to investigate the mechanisms by which acetylcholine (ACh) stimulates Ca2+-induced exocytosis in single insulin-secreting mouse pancreatic B-cells. 2. ACh (250 microM) increased exocytotic responses elicited by voltage-clamp depolarizations 2.3-fold. This effect was mediated by activation of muscarinic receptors and dependent on elevation of the cytopl

The reliability of the correlation dimension estimation in short hydrological time series is investigated using an inverse approach. According to this approach, first predictions are made using the phase-space reconstruction technique and the artificial neural networks. The correlation dimension is estimated next independently and is compared with the prediction results. A short hydrological serie

Bangladesh is located in a danger area of the World. The geographical location makes the country vulnerable for tropical cyclones and other hazards. An increasing number of natural disasters such as floods, storms, and tropical cyclones, always keep the coastal people in a worst condition. Bangladesh government is not always fully successful in recovering the situation and gives a sustainable live

”Kan vi inte längre lita på dem som vi gett förtroende och makt urholkas samhällets legitimitet. Att bekämpa korruption handlar därför ytterst om att slå vakt om det demokratiska samhället.” Rättssäker myndighetsutövning, förtroendeskadligt beteende samt korruption är nyckelord i uppsatsen. Sverige bedöms i flera undersökningar som ett land utan större problem med korruption och att företeelsen “When we can no longer rely on those in whom we have placed our trust and have empowered, the legitimacy of society is undermined. Therefore, the fight against corruption is, to a high degree, a safeguard of democratic society” Authorities who follow the law in their actions and those whose behaviour damages trust are two opposite poles of great importance. In several studies, Sweden is graded a

The paper sheds light on financial contagion within the Euro Area and Asia, and contagion from the Euro Area to Asia during two recent crises: the global financial crisis and European sovereign debt crisis. Applying the multinomial logit regression model, the paper investigates how the macro-finance variables affect the coincidence of extreme negative returns (coexceedances). In addition, I apply

Developing business models in the area of electromobility is one of the primary challenges in order to successfully electrify road transport. As any technology the electric vehicle (EV) or the charging infrastructure that fuels it will not have any value unless one finds ways to commercialise those technologies. This thesis investigates the early stages of business model development within electro

The EU has, in the Lisbon strategy, set an objective to become the most competitive economy in the world by 2010. It will, in order to achieve this objective, be necessary to develop and rapidly spread new technologies on the common market. National IP laws provide the legislative framework for the existence and scope of an intellectual property right while EC competition law concerns the exercise

En stad är aldrig färdig, genom byggda förändringar och omförhandlade relationer. Samtidigt är en stad alltid färdig genom nuet hos dem som bor i den. Detta projekt syftar till att undersöka denna paradox och hur medvetenheten om tid och förändring kan berika design. Det studerade området för projektet är Varvsstaden i Malmö. En plats som en gång i tiden var en del av ett av världens största skeA city is always in the process of becoming, through built changes and renegotiated relationships. At the same time, a city is always finished through the present of those who live in it. This project aims to investigate this paradox and how the awareness of time and change can enrich design. The studied area of the project is Varvsstaden in Malmö. A place which was once a part of one of the lar

Simethicone, a widely used anti-foaming agent in pharmaceuticals, consists mainly of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) combined with silica gel. While it is safe in pharmaceutical use, concerns have been raised about its degradation into cyclic siloxanes—specifically D4, D5, and D6—which can cause environmental and health hazards. This study investigated the degradation behavior of simethicone under var

Denna studie undersöker hur tillgång till hemmabas påverkar piloters prioritering av anställningsvillkor och deras vilja att stanna kvar hos en arbetsgivare. Baserat på en enkätundersökning med 19 svarande yrkespiloter, samtliga med hemmabas i dagsläget och tidigare erfarenhet av pendling. Studien utforskar hur hemmabasering påverkar upplevelsen av balans mellan arbete och fritid, arbetstillfredss

This thesis analyzes lived experiences from former juku students as well as promotional material produced by three shingakujuku (Nichinōken, Yotsuya Ōtsuka, Sapix) aimed at the private junior high school entrance examinations in Japan. The research questions aims to investigate the framing of the future and outcome of attending juku as well as how former students reflect on their own experience an

This study investigates whether a pulley system enrichment can improve the hunting behaviors of European wildcats (Felis silvestris silvestris) in captivity. It was carried out in support of the conservation efforts to reintroduce and preserve the endangered Scottish wildcat population. The research was conducted on four European wildcats at Nordens Ark zoo in Sweden. The enrichment device was des

This master’s thesis investigates the utilisation of generative AI within traditional banking institutions, emphasising value creation, challenges, and strategic facilitators. Previous research underscores the importance of these areas in the context of generative AI's novel application in traditional banks. Findings reveal that traditional banks primarily employ generative AI for internal ope

Swedish home care has long been studied in the light of decades of market-oriented policies. Studies illuminate how the publicly administrated Swedish home care is situated in a precarious position, where logics of the market, the bureaucracy and the prevailing profession must be navigated and consolidated. First-line managers are uniquely positioned as they interact with the street-level bureaucr

Background: Starch is a well-studied material, produced by plants in granules to store energy. Starch finds a lot of applications in day-to-day life, in the food and pharmaceutical industry. This project was focusing on the utilization of starch retrogradation and the ability to form aqueous two-phase systems to prepare microspheres from the starch of different botanical sources and characterize t
