Differentiating between compounds and phrases can often be difficult. One of the main reasons for this is a compound and a phrase can have the same surface form. In this essay atypical noun- noun combination, which could be possible compounds are investigated. The research questions for this essay include if these combinations are compounds or phrases, what these noun-noun combinations look like a

The UK was considered to be one of Sweden’s best friends and allies in the European Union. When the UK decided to leave in 2016, Sweden was forced to reconsider their strategy for maximising its influence in the union. In 2020 Sweden’s strategy to join the frugal four seemed to become more permanent. The frugal four is a group of nations including, Denmark, The Netherlands, Austria and Sweden. The

Immune complexes were formed in vitro with antibodies obtained from rabbits immunized with bovine serum albumin in Freund's complete (FCA) or incomplete (FIA) adjuvant. The antibodies were mixed with different amounts of antigen. Immune complexes formed at maximum precipitation proportions were efficient in complement activation, whereas immune complexes formed at antigen excess had weak complemen

NGC 2419 is one of the remotest star clusters in the Milky Way halo and its exact nature is yet unclear. While it has traits reminiscent of a globular cluster, its large radius and suggestions of an abundance spread have fueled the discussion about its origin in an extragalactic environment, possibly the remnant of the accretion of a dwarf galaxy. Here, we present first results from deep intermedi

Stars near the Sun oscillate both horizontally and vertically. In a previous paper by Binney it was assumed that the coupling between these motions can be modelled by determining the horizontal motion without reference to the vertical motion, and recovering the coupling between the motions by assuming that the vertical action is adiabatically conserved as the star oscillates horizontally. Here, we

An Escherichia coli strain transfected with a plasmid containing four linked human proinsulin genes was grown in the presence of 35S and 3H labelled amino acids to gain access to human insulin that was radiolabelled at 19 evenly distributed sites throughout the amino acid sequence. The multi-proinsulin precursor was cleaved at methionine residues with cyanogen bromide, then the individual proinsul

Here, we describe the generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, from a male patient diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD). The patient carries a heterozygous variation p.A53T in the SNCA gene. Skin fibroblasts were reprogrammed using the non-integrating Sendai virus technology to deliver OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC and KLF4 factors. The generated iPSC line (CSC-32) preserved the mutati

Master protocols combine several sub-trials, each with their own research objectives, which is usually presented as one single clinical trial application. Master protocols have become increasingly popular in oncology and haematology, as either basket, umbrella, or platform trials. Although master protocols are intended to accelerate drug development and to reduce futility, their use poses challeng

This paper presents a biocatalysis based approach for asymmetric hydrolysis of Clopidogrel, one of the most effective antiplatelet aggregators. Instead of the conventional "wet lab" screening method, we used an advanced chemical information retrieval tool, Scifinder®, to find suitable enzyme candidate(s) for the asymmetric hydrolysis. Scifinder® search for reactions similar to the target reaction

In previous studies in southern Sweden, early use of oral contraceptives has been found to be accompanied by an increased risk of developing premenopausal breast cancer, and the tumors developing in these patients have shown a more aggressive behavior. In the present study, amplification of the proto-oncogenes Her-2/neu (also known as ERBB2) and INT2 was studied in primary tumor specimens from 72

What happened in Dersim in 1937–38, in the early years of the Turkish Republic, is no longer a secret. In recent decades, Dersim has been recognised as at least a state-led “massacre”, mass graves have been discovered, and written and oral testimonies of both victims and perpetrators have come to light. However, a clear definition and recognition of this genocide, as well as reconciliation and res

This article aims at describing a logistic approach for prolonged resuscitation efforts in the cath-lab using mechanical chest compressions (MCC) during simultaneous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
