This paper analysis sexual scripts theory in relation to gay men courtship, love relationships, and casual sex. The aim is to understand how gay masculinity is evolving in the 21st Century. Previous research has reinforced the concept that gay men follow heterosexual masculinity and scripts in their relationships with other men. Here, analysing data from the most used gay dating app ‘Grindr’, we t

Shared electric scooters (e-scooters) are widely promoted as a low-carbon urban transport solution. However, their environmental impact depends on lifespan, operations, and modal shift. This study evaluates life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of shared e-scooters operating in Dubai, UAE. A cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment is conducted, considering manufacturing, transportation, use phase elec

Activation of receptor tyrosine kinases needs tight control by tyrosine phosphatases to keep their normal function. In this study, we investigated the regulation of activation of the type III receptor tyrosine kinase KIT by protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type E (PTPRE). We found that PTPRE can associate with wild-type KIT and inhibit KIT activation in a dose-dependent manner, although the a

We report a novel RHCE*02 allele in a Swedish blood donor that is characterized by the change c.460A>G (Arg154Gly). The blood donor's red blood cells showed variable reactivity with different monoclonal anti-C and anti-e and antigen strength was markedly weakened. We believe that these changes represent both a quantitative and qualitative alteration of the antigens encoded by this allele.

Moving from some Italian case law the article analyses several aspect linked to the transfers of undertaking such as its legal notion (and its differences between the transfers of a plurality of goods), the right to raise a legal claim following the Italian civil procedure and the consequences of the violation of the information duty of the trade unions.

Endometrial prostaglandins (PGs) and the PGE2/PGF2alpha ratio play an important role in regulating the estrous cycle and establishment of pregnancy. The enzymes downstream of cyclooxygenase-2 may determine the PGE2/PGF2alpha ratio in the porcine uterus. Thus, we have cloned porcine PGF synthase (PGFS) and microsomal PGE synthase-1 (mPGES-1) and characterized their expression in porcine endometrium

Aberrations in the GI-S transition have been observed in several malignancies, suggesting that cell cycle defects are linked to the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of suppressor genes involved in the transformation process. The frequency of GI/S aberrations in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has not been fully clarified. We have therefore analyzed the cyclin E content, using Western blot

Introduction: Apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 is the major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its prevalence is unclear because earlier studies did not require biomarker evidence of amyloid β (Aβ) pathology. Methods: We included 3451 Aβ+ subjects (853 AD-type dementia, 1810 mild cognitive impairment, and 788 cognitively normal). Generalized estimating equation models were used to ass
