The effect of structural and functional social relations on smoking among adolescents - data from HBSC Greenland 2018.

The prevalence of adolescent smoking in Greenland is relatively high and remains an important topic to study. The present study reports the prevalence of smoking among Greenlandic adolescents in 2018 and the association between smoking and social relations. The study was based on HBSC Greenland 2018, using a theoretical framework proposed by Due and colleagues, which divides social relations into nd relations.

Preparation and evaluation of sulfur-containing metal chelators.

With a view to probe the structure and function of G-protein coupled receptors the synthesis of functionalized 8-mercaptoquinoline derivatives and 2-(2-pyridyl)thiophenol was achieved. A fluorescence-based method for determining the affinity of these metal chelators toward zinc ions was developed.
