The polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine are organic cations that are required for cell growth and differentiation. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway, catalyzes the conversion of ornithine to putrescine. As the polyamine biosynthetic pathway is essential for the growth and survival of Leishmania donovani, the causativ
In a ceremony held on June 21, the brightest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven and H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf, together with Director Christoph Quitmann, inaugurated MAX IV Laboratory in the presence of about 500 staff, funders, stakeholders, and guests from all over the world.
Multiple missiles were fired at Erbil on February 15, killing at least one civil contractor and injuring at least one American national. It is likely that the attack was conducted by an Iranian proxy in order to put pressure on President Biden to lift the sanctions against the country and return to the 2015 nuclear deal.
I will show that what is respected the most in human reproduction and parenting is not a right to reproduce in the way in which this right is explicitly proposed.

Whatever one’s intentions, social status, standard of living,
South Korea is attempting to deal with the now-universal issue of disinformation. So why did its draft bill attract such fierce criticism?
The purpose of the present research was to examine if anxiety is linked to a memory-based attentional bias, in which attention to threat is thought to depend on implicit learning. Memory-based attentional biases were defined and also demonstrated in two experiments. A total of 168 university students were shown a pair of faces that varied in their emotional content (angry, neutral, and happy), wit
This thesis has been performed in the ethylene oxide plant at Akzo Nobel in Stenungsund. Ethylene oxide is an important ethylene based intermediary compound. The primary use for ethylene oxide is in the manufacture of derivatives such as ethylene glycol, surfactants and ethanolamine’s. In the production of ethylene oxide, ethylene and oxygen reacts over a silver catalyst surface. Mainly two react
The C programming language, while offering high performance and low-level control, is memory-unsafe. This makes it prone to programming errors that can result in serious software vulnerabilities and system instability. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of transitioning a large code base from C to a memory-safe alternative, specifically Rust, in the context of a large company in telecom
BackgroundDespite the fact that eldercare services are organizationally part of social work in Sweden, the social work practice is disappearing and older people are expected to take the responsibility for their own well-being. In this context, they have to create their own sense of meaningfulness in their everyday life, despite being subject to social care services.Methods As part of a research pr
The present article describes data from pilot studies with the Swedish versions of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (KIMS). The MAAS and two of the KIMS scales, Act with Awareness and Accept without Judgment, were found to correlate in the predicted direction with measures of well-being and emotional distress. The KIMS scales Observe and
