and biological samples with the scope of developing a rapid (on-site and portable) forensic detection kit. With such, the objective is to push the limit for what is possible to analyse digitally on a crime scene, such as the age of latent fingerprints, the age of blood traces and analysis of low concentrations of drugs. The specific objectives of the project mirror the central needs of the National forensic centre (NFC), with the purpose of quicker turnaround times and more efficient use of NFCs resources. The most promising venue has so far been to determine the age of blood traces by utilizing the fact that biomolecules found in blood fields a strong age dependence. Four different enzymes (ALT, LDH, CK, AST) were investigated in terms of age and activity by letting blood serum with the added enzymes dry for a period time and further examined with an absorbance plate reader and activity assay kits. It was clear from the results that all enzymes, except for AST, showed a decrease in activity which

These days, all of us, employees and students of the University of Latvia, have been uprooted from the customary rhythm of life and find ourselves as if in a different reality. Students voice concern about completing their study assignments in these altered conditions. Particular anxiety is expressed by those who have to complete their bachelor's and master's theses this spring. We have rapidly moved to distance learning, work and, yes, remote relationships. Some suggestions for all of us about the best ways to retain peace of mind at this time. If you feel anxious, concerned, confused, angry – remember that your feelings are normal reactions to change For most people, changes are worrying, they initially do not want to accept changes and resist them.
