People in the host economy are, due to several aspects, affected in different ways. One of those aspects is gender. Gender inequality in the world is well known, women have less political, economic and socia
Clusters of stem cells at the tip of each plant shoot give rise to all of its above-ground organs, effectively controlling the development and the physical shape of the plant. A core network of negative feedback between CLAVATA3 (CLV3) and WUSCHEL (WUS) regulate the stem cells existence and behaviour in Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite the close relationship of these genes, their expression domains a
This thesis investigates the media discourse of the Swedish party Feminist Initiative in conjunction with the election to the European Parliament, and the general national election, in May and September 2014.

Popular Abstract in English The secondary metabolites found in plants represent an extremely rich and limitless source of novel chemical diversity for drug discovery. In fact, some of the most important drugs currently in use today are derived from plants and they were discovered as a result of the study of medicinal plants used in traditional medicine. In this context, Bolivia is one of the most In response to the challenges of their local environments, organisms produce of a large number of chemical diverse compounds with complex stereochemistry and reactive functional groups. These characteristics enable them to interact and bind specifically to biological target molecules and exert various biological activities, and have assured that Natural products continues to be an important source
