The physiological status of carbon-starved cells of the marine Vibrio sp. strain S14 has been investigated by the analysis of their immediate response to carbon and energy sources. During the first minute after glucose addition to 48-h-starved cells, the pools of ATP and GTP increased rapidly, and the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio reached the level typical for growing cells within 4 min. The total rates of RN

How colour polymorphisms are maintained in natural populations constitutes a key subject of study for evolutionary ecologists. One of the mechanisms that has been put forward to explain this phenomenon is negative frequency-dependent selection, which can be caused by different mechanisms. Among these mechanisms is mate choice, or the selection as a potential mate of the rare or dissimilar colour m

The concept of the rule of law has been a central issue in China for the past two decades, gaining even greater prominence under Xi Jinping’s leadership. This article examines the development of the rule of law in China, drawing on insights from local Chinese scholarship as a vital source for understanding the situation. By analyzing the most cited research articles in the China National Knowledge

We explored the impact of different radiotherapy (RT) treatment modalities and prescriptions on outcomes for standard risk pediatric medulloblastoma patients (MB-SR). A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. Primary MB-SR patients, aged 3–21 years treated with cranio-spinal axis and tumor boost RT during 1995–2024 were included. Data on progression-free and overall survival outcomes (

Differences in national legislations can affect the international competitiveness of an industry. For example, stringent EU regulations on animal welfare and environmental protection are often said to be a cost disadvantage for EU producers competing on the global market. However, in recent years, powerful retailers and food processors have started to impose requirements on downstream producers th

The tightened security restrictions after the “911” terrorist attacks must clearly have repercussions for privacy, almost regardless of how this term is conceptualised. The notably fluid essentials of the privacy-term makes it hard to evaluate the actual impact of new regulation as a shared point of reference is in fact lacking (its definition has been a popular topic for vicious debate and acute

What do we know about youth climate activism in India? Given the country’s rich history of environmental activism and the recent increase in youth climate groups, the literature on youth climate activism in India is surprisingly scant. The present review systematically identified eight studies focusing specifically on young people’s climate activism in India post-2019. An in-depth comparative read

BACKGROUND: The dystrophin gene, which is mutated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), encodes a large cytoskeletal protein present in muscle fibers. While dystrophin in skeletal muscle has been extensively studied, the function of dystrophin in vascular smooth muscle is less clear. Here, we have analyzed the role of dystrophin in injury-induced arterial neointima formation. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL

Protests are a common way for citizens to express their grievances and can occur in almost every regime. Each state reacts to protests in different ways – some listen to citizens' demands and adjust their policies, others resort to forceful methods, but in one and the other case, the media occupy an important place among the tools of response. This becomes especially evident in non-democratic

In recent years, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda have paid a higher degree of attention to the gaps in implementation and lack of financing that have characterized the agenda since the adoption of UNSCR 1325 in 2000. This development has also included more attention given to implementation through civil society organizations, and the establishment of a new financing instrument – Global

The aim of the study is to examine discourse on pornography in Swedish news media. The methodological point of departure is Critical Discourse Analysis, as presented by Fairclough. The empirical material consists of 69 articles, editorials and chronicles publicized in Swedish news media between July 2013 and March 2017. The primary theoretical point of departure of the study is Fairclough’s critic

Trots att sjuksköterskor och läkare arbetar nära varandra finns det många uppfattningar och åsikter om varandra som inte alltid stämmer överens med hur det egentligen är. Syftet med studien var att ta reda på vilken uppfattning sjuksköterskestudenter har om läkare, samt om/hur denna uppfattning förändras under utbildningen. Materialet samlades in genom sex bandade intervjuer med sjuksköterskestude
