Malaria är en tropisk sjukdom som orsakas av en encellig parasit av släktet Plasmodium och sprids till människor via infekterade myggor. Smittan uppstår genom stick från honmyggor av Anopheles-släktet. Efter sticket, tar sig parasiten till levern och sedan till de röda blodkropparna som efter ett tag spricker. Därefter kommer parasiten ut i blodet tillsammans med andra nedbrytningsprodukter vilka New half-sandwich complexes of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-rhodium, iridium, and p-cymene-ruthenium have been synthesized and characterized. All metal complexes contain ligands based on a 4-chloroquinoline framework analogous to the antimalarial drug chloroquine. The first reaction in the preparation of a new ligand is a nucleophilic substitution at the chloro position of 4-chloro-7-fluoroquinolin

Den här uppsatsen handlar om hur bolag i en intressegemenskap gör värdeöverföringar mellan varandra i form av koncernbidrag samt internprissättning. På grund av skatteflyktsbestämmelsers vaghet kan bolag inte direkt förutse om ett förfarande är skatteflykt.

Korslimmat trä är ett tämligen nytt material, bestående av korslagda lager av brädor. Produkten tillåter nya byggmetoder och kan ses som ett grönare alternativ till stål och betong. Dess uppbyggnad gör det mer robust och mindre beroende av träets varierande egenskaper för olika geometriska dimensioner. Som ett nytt byggnadsmaterial är dess beteende och karaktär inte lika välstuderat. Med trä som iCross-laminated timber is a fairly new material, composed of layers of timber boards cross-placed. The product allows for new construction techniques and can be seen as a more sustainable alternative to steel and concrete. Its structure makes it more robust and less dependent on the variation in properties of wood for different geometrical dimensions. As a new material, the CLT is not well studied

Opuntia ficus-indica is a cactus plant rich in dietary fiber and vitamins. It can be considered as a functional food, and some of its extracted components can be added as functional ingredients to improve postprandial glycemic regulation. The aim of changing our dietary habits by eating such foods is to reduce blood glucose levels after ingesting a starchy food together with the nopal product, wh
