Denna uppsats handlar om den samtida konstnären Oh de Laval och utforskar med en semiotiskt förankrad analysmetod appropriering i två olika konstverk och samhörigheten mellan dem. Verken som analyseras i studien är Oh de Lavals, Luncheon on the grass, 2019 och Édouard Manet, Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, 1863 och stöds av Pablo Picasso, Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, 1959-1962. Studiens övergripande syfte undersöker hur appropriering av konst förekommer i de olika verken som analyseras samt en juridisk synvinkel kring ämnet. Studien stöds av teoretiska ramverk som inkluderar postkoloniala och feministiska perspektiv som öppnar upp frågor om ras, jämställdhet, kulturell appropriering och kvinnors representation i konsten.

On the morning of the first day of pregnancy, Wistar rats were administered a single IP injection of either zinc sulfate (10.0 mg/kg) or saline. For the remainder of pregnancy, half the rats in each group then consumed filtered tap water while the other half consumed filtered tap water with 50 ppm of cadmium (CdCl2). At eight weeks after birth, the behavioral profile of male offspring was assessed in the following way: Apomorphine (non-selective dopamine receptor agonist), (+)-7-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (7-OH-DPAT) (D3 agonist) and (+/-)-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-(1H)-3-benzazepine-7,8-diol (SKF 38393) (D1 agonist) were used to evaluate stereotyped behavior, yawning activity and oral movements - indices for these respective agonists. In addition, two dopamine receptor antagonists, haloperidol (D2 antagonist) and 7-chloro-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-(1H)-3-benzapine (SCH 23390) (D1 antagonist) were used to evaluate cataleptogenic activity. Additional behavioral parameters studied were locomotor activity, irritability and reaction to a painful stimulus. Dopamine and its metabolites 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA) and 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT) were quantified in the striatum, hippocampus and in the frontal cortex of the brain by means of HPLC/ED technique. In addition, cadmium levels were analyzed in the brain, liver, kidney and bone of newborn rats. Our results indicate that prenatal exposure of pregnant rats to cadmium produced alterations in the reactivity of central dopamine receptors and modulated the level of dopamine and its metabolites in the offsprings' brains. A single injection of zinc, preceding cadmium consumption, attenuated some of the effects of cadmium on the offsprings' dopaminergic system. Zinc also reduced cadmium deposition in the brain, kidney and bone, but enhanced its accumulation in liver. In summary, zinc may exert some neuroprotective effects against cadmium neurotoxicity.

The first project in this dissertation endeavors to outline the total synthesis of yaku'amide A and its analogs. Yaku'amide A is a natural product comprised of dehydroamino acids, including E-dehydro isoleucine, and unprecedented Z-dehydro isoleucine. These amino acids present a significant challenge to their synthesis owing to their unsymmetrical nature. To simplify the synthesis process, we synthesized analogs by substituting the E and Z dehydroamino acids with symmetrical subunits. This substitution facilitated the synthesis process and enabled us to obtain a similar three-dimensional structure to that of the natural product. Furthermore, biological testing of the simplified analogs revealed potency similar to yaku'amide A. The second part of this project describes the synthesis of the bicycle core of virosinine A, commencing with an enantioselective Evans glycolate aldol reaction. Following a series of transformations, an oxime phenyl ether is generated, which, upon microwave irradiation, triggers an iminyl radical cascade reaction. The iminium formed in the microwave reactor is reduced with red-Al, obtaining the desired diastereomer.
