The semenogelin II gene from the rhesus monkey has been cloned and characterized. The transcription unit is split into three exons of 97, 2086 and 124 bp, with two intervening introns of 241 bp and 862 bp. The first exon codes for a 23-amino-acid signal peptide and the two amino-terminal residues of the secreted protein. The second exon codes for the rest of the mature protein, and the third exon

Förenta nationernas klimatpanel (IPCC) uppmuntrar till djup och snabb omvandling inom varje ekonomisk sektor för att förebygga eskalerande klimatförändringar. I detta sammanhang har en offentlig och politisk debatt om luftfart som en stor källa till koldioxidutsläpp uppstått i Sverige med ökande antal människor som förklarar att de ”håller sig på jorden”. Trots att forskning har undersökt motivatiThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is encouraging profound and rapid transformation in every economic sector to mitigate escalating climate change. In this context, a public and political debate about aviation as a high-carbon source has emerged in Sweden with growing numbers of people declaring that they are “staying on the ground”. Despite increased research that explores the motivati

Despite the well-known threat that the use of fossil fuels poses to the climate many countries continue to provide large subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. The EU has declared that its member states should phase-out fossil fuel subsidies, but progress has been lacking and subsidies for fossil fuels in the EU remain large. This paper aims to understand which factors explain the persistence of s

By drawing upon the context of the election, both before and after electio
