Here, we report the synthesis, characterization, and structure-function properties for a new class of hybrid catalysts covalently bound to metal oxide (MOx) supports via metal-ester bonds. This MOx-ester bonding motif exhibits several notable differences compared to traditional hybrid catalysts. One key advantage is the ability to achieve monolayer catalyst surface coverage, effectively creating single-atom catalysts at a density of two catalyst molecules per nm² of metal oxide support. This motif also introduces tunable electronic interactions between the metal oxide support and the molecular catalyst, enabling control over catalyst speciation and oxidation states. A series of MOx-ester nickel catalysts on varying metal oxide supports were synthesized and characterized by infrared and X-ray spectroscopies. The influence the support imparted on the molecular nickel catalyst was elucidated through reactivity trends. By exploiting the alternating redox step in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, we were able to correlate catalyst properties and reactivity to the point of zero charge (PZC) of the MOx supports. Observed reactivity differences are attributed to the ability of the MOx supports to influence the surface-bound molecular nickel catalyst through electronic induction. By modulating the electron density at the nickel center through just changing the metal oxide support, this class of hybrid catalysts allows for precise control of the accessible molecular catalyst oxidation states can coordination environment, thus enabling tailored catalytic mechanisms. These findings highlight the potential of MOx-ester hybrid catalysts as a platform for advancing small molecule activations and sustainable nickel-based catalysis.
Tailoring Peptide Coacervates for Advanced Biotechnological Applications: Enhancing Control, Encapsulation, and Antioxidant Properties
Authors: Boas Daniel , Reches Meital
Published: January 2025

The increasing interest in protein and peptide coacervates is accompanied by the development of various applications, from drug delivery to biosensor preparation. However, the impact of peptide end groups and charges on the coacervation remains unclear. For this purpose, we designed four peptide derivatives with varying end groups and net charges. These inherently fluorescent peptides readily formed coacervates in solution or during evaporation. The ability to control the coacervation process, the coacervate’s appearance, and the encapsulation capabilities were thoroughly investigated. The coacervates displayed significant antioxidant properties, protecting the encapsulated material. Additionally, control of the deposition of the coacervates on surfaces was achieved. These abilities highlight the potential of these coacervates in biotechnological applications, including biosensor development and delivery of compounds such as drugs and dietary supplements. Exploiting the dynamic characteristics of coacervates with the unique properties of these peptides underscores their practical advantages.

Hyperpolarized (HP) MRI using [1-13C]pyruvate is emerging as a promising molecular imaging approach. Among hyperpolarization methods, Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE) is attractive because SABRE polarizes the substrates directly in room-temperature solutions avoiding complex hardware. Most SABRE experiments have historically been performed in methanol, a relatively toxic and difficult to remove solvent. Here we first demonstrate the use of a acetone-water-solvent system (Ace-SABRE) to provide hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate with up to 40% polarization, then implement a solvent processing protocol to achieve injectable solutions, and lastly demonstrate HP in vivo spectroscopy and imaging using the Ace-SABRE platform to showcase metabolic tracking in a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumor as well as HP-MRI, both in direct comparison to dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (d-DNP) experiments. The Ace-SABRE technique promises faster adoption of SABRE hyperpolarization in biological experiments, overall lowering the barriers to entry for HP-NMR and HP-MRI.

Authors:   Universitas Sriwijaya, Mauliana Resty , Misnaniarti Misnaniarti ,   Universitas Sriwijaya, Syakurah Rizma Adlia ,   Universitas Sriwijaya
Published: January 2025

Background: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, BPJS Kesehatan has introduced an indirect contact program, but many districts and cities, including Jambi City in Jambi Province, have not achieved the target contact rate. This study aims to analyze the implementation of indirect contact services for JKN participants in Jambi City's primary healthcare facilities (PHC).

Subjects and Method: This descriptive qualitative research was conducted at BPJS Kesehatan and PHC Jambi City from March to April 2022. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document review. Informants were selected using a consecutive sampling technique based on the type of PHC, including community health centres (Puskesmas), private clinics, and individual practitioners (DPPs), representing the lowest and highest achievement levels. Thematic analysis techniques were used to analyze the data.

Results: The findings revealed that the implementation of indirect contact services for JKN participants in Jambi City's PHC was influenced by various factors. These factors included challenges in increasing contact rates, dissatisfaction among JKN participants, and economic constraints faced by the participants. Contributing factors to these challenges was the absence of input guidelines, standard operating procedures (SOPs), dedicated personnel, allocated funds, and specialized equipment for indirect contact. Routine socialization efforts were also lacking. Furthermore, the understanding of officers regarding the objectives, targets, and implementation of indirect contact, as well as their competence, played significant roles in the implementation.

The Potential of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Promoting Axonal Regeneration: A Narrative Review
Authors: Maulina Meutia , Yuziani  , Sofia Rizka
Published: January 2025

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product obtained by centrifugation. PRP is characterized by a high concentration of growth factors, which are known to promote tissue healing, influence angiogenesis, and exhibit immunomodulatory effects without causing significant adverse reactions. Consequently, PRP has been used in various medical specialties, including neurology, in recent years. This review aimed to provide an overview of the current evidence on the use of PRP to promote axonal regeneration. An extensive literature search was conducted across several databases, including PubMed and Google Scholar, using keywords such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-concentrated plasma, platelet-rich growth factors, and axonal regeneration. A detailed analysis of the relevant studies was performed, and the data were meticulously extracted and analyzed. Studies have indicated that PRP may have promising potential to facilitate nerve regeneration. Specifically, PRP has been shown to be effective in protecting nerves, preventing neuronal apoptosis, and stimulating vascular and axonal regeneration. Furthermore, PRP regulates inflammatory responses in the microenvironment, which may further contribute to its potential benefits in nerve regeneration. Understanding the biology, mechanism of action, classification of PRP, and its role in axonal regeneration is crucial for clinicians to gain a complete understanding of this therapeutic approach and appropriately interpret available data on PRP.

Populismo de derecha y políticas de exclusión
Authors: López Robles Adalberto , Márquez Muñoz Jorge Federico
Published: January 2025

La literatura sobre populismo destaca que una de las características distintivas del populismo de derecha es su naturaleza excluyente. Sin embargo, existen pocos trabajos que analizan empíricamente esta cuestión en los populismos de derecha de América Latina, puesto que la mayoría se centran en las sociedades europeas, donde se considera que esta variante es dominante. Este artículo tiene como objetivo llenar este vacío. Investigamos esta cuestión utilizando herramientas de análisis de texto automatizado para identificar las palabras clave que según la teoría caracterizan el lenguaje populista de derecha radical. Luego, en un segundo nivel examinamos los contextos en las que estas palabras clave son utilizadas. Los hallazgos principales muestran que el vocabulario de Bolsonaro en X se distingue por un conjunto de palabras clave que reflejan claramente el enfoque ideológico de los populismos excluyentes, los cuales se basan en un antagonismo tricotómico entre “el pueblo”, “la élite” y los “otros peligrosos". Al estudiar un caso fuera de Europa, nuestros resultados tienen implicaciones sobre cómo se estudia el populismo de derecha radical, además de que pone de relieve las características ideológicas que combina el populismo de Bolsonaro para justificar culturalmente la exclusión, las cuales difieren de los populismos de derecha europea.

Efecto de intervención de enfermería en el hábito tabáquico y calidad de vida de mujeres.
Authors:   , Patricia Cid Henríquez
Published: January 2025

Durante el siglo pasado, los cambios sociopolíticos, las dos guerras mundiales y los extraordinarios avances tecnológicos que les siguieron, impactaron profundamente en las personas modificando su visión de la realidad en que vivían.
La década de los sesenta, fue marcada principalmente por la lucha contra la discriminación de las minorías, por la emancipación de la mujer y la aparición del postmodernismo en el pensamiento humano pero también por un fenómeno social sorprendente: la autonomía de los pacientes, expresada en la declaración pública de sus derechos.
Para entonces ya había surgido una nueva concepción de salud: “un completo estado de bienestar físico, mental y social, y no sólo la ausencia de enfermedad”. Es evidente que esta nueva interpretación de salud, comenzó a cambiar la forma de relacionarse entre el equipo profesional destinado a preservarla y el paciente. Un aspecto profundamente determinante porque ahora el paciente se atrevía a decidir sobre su intimidad corporal (autonomía). De hecho, fue el inicio de una nueva relación sanitaria, dentro de tradiciones muy arraigadas, en la que el médico ha representado la autoridad y el liderazgo.
Sin embargo, esta relación entre paciente y el equipo profesional, empieza a ser mirada por los usuarios desde otra perspectiva: la de constituir un soporte social, que permita al paciente y al equipo establecer nuevos acercamientos.
La actual mirada ha pasado de la normal atención de salud, al de un cuidado más intenso de ella, en que además de diagnosticar y tratar la enfermedad de la persona, se promueve su bienestar.

Y APOYO SOCIAL”
Authors:   , ALVARADO ALVARADO ANA LUCÍA
Published: January 2025

Introducción: La violencia laboral es un problema de salud pública,que genera un alto costo a nivel mundial, una problemática ignorada, siendo el profesional de enfermería, uno de los más afectados, por encontrarse de manera directa a
cargo del cuidado de los pacientes en los hospitales, generando insatisfacción en el trabajo y consecuencias en su salud mental y en la calidad del cuidado. Objetivo: Analizar la relación existente entre la “percepción de violencia laboral, salud mental; satisfacción en el trabajo y el papel mediador del apoyo social en enfermeras de 4 instituciones de salud pública Quito- Ecuador 2021– 2022”. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo, transversal y correlacional, con enfoque cuantitativo. La muestra estuvo conformada por 256 enfermeras que laboran en 4 instituciones de salud pública de Quito. Los datos se obtuvieron mediante la aplicación de una encuesta en línea, previo a consentimiento informado. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron: Encuesta de Violencia Laboral en el Sector
Salud (OIT), Cuestionario Salud General (General Health questionnaire GHQ12), Escala General de Satisfacción Laboral (Ovarall Job Satisfaction Scale), Escala de Apoyo Social (House y Wells). Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó el programa SPSS versión 15, se utilizó estadística descriptiva e inferencial. Resultados: El 19,9% de las enfermeras participantes refirió haber recibido al menos 1 tipo de violencia laboral durante los doce meces anteriores, siendo la violencia verbal el tipo más frecuente en un 23,4%. La relación estadísticamente significativa entre violencia laboral con salud mental fue en la dimensión de distrofia (U=4451,0; p=0,018). El recibir o no violencia es un factor significativo para una peor o mejor satisfacción laboral (t=-2,79; p=0,006); a pesar de que el apoyo social si ha sido determinante (t=6,46; p 0,001), no se ha detectado interacción de ambas respuestas a estas variables (t=0,05;
p=0,96). Conclusiones: Se comprueba la existencia de violencia laboral en las cuatro instituciones de salud, siendo la violencia verbal la más frecuente, las enfermeras que recibieron violencia laboral se ven afectadas en su salud mental. La violencia influye en satisfacción en el trabajo.
Cuidado humanizado : percepción de autoeficacia en enfermeras académicas y asistenciales.
Authors:   , Margarita del Carmen Poblete Troncoso
Published: January 2025

Investigación observacional, de inferencia causal, realizada durante años 2006 y 2007, con enfermeras chilenas asistenciales y académicas. El objetivo fue determinar percepción de autoeficacia para efectuar cuidado humanizado y la influencia del ámbito institucional donde se desempeñan. Se utilizó la técnica “propensity score matching” para comparar ambos grupos. La muestra estuvo conformada por 357 enfermeras de nueve regiones del país. La recolección de datos se obtuvo con el instrumento “Caring Efficacy Scale”, validado en población chilena, que se basa en la Teoría Transpersonal del Cuidado Humano de Jean Watson. Los resultados globales obtenidos revelaron que el ámbito institucional no es determinante en la percepción de autoeficacia en la mayoría de los aspectos que incorpora el cuidado humanizado, mostrando diferencias estadísticamente significativas en sólo dos ítems del instrumento: autoeficacia para expresar un sentido de cuidado a los usuarios, en que las enfermeras asistenciales se percibieron con mayor autoeficacia que las académicas; y el otro ítem: autoeficacia para comunicarse en forma cercana y personal con los usuarios, que reveló a las académicas con mayor autoeficacia que las enfermeras asistenciales. El modelo biomédico fue considerado un mecanismo adverso que afecta la humanización del cuidado, especialmente en los hospitales. En conclusión, a pesar de la diferencia en estos dos ítems, la percepción similar de autoeficacia para efectuar el cuidado humanizado, en ambos grupos de enfermeras, en forma general, puede ser considerada, un logro para la profesión y disciplina. Este importante resultado, evidencia que las enfermeras chilenas comparten una visión de cuidado humanizado y ético. Esto se explica a través de mecanismos sociales que caracterizan a la profesión como alta interacción social, gran sentido de pertenencia e identidad profesional, valores, creencias y deseos que comparten las enfermeras en la enseñanza y práctica del cuidado, que logran mostrar una percepción similar en ambos grupos. Permanece como desafío para las enfermeras asistenciales fortalecer su autoeficacia para personalizar el cuidado en las instituciones hospitalarias. Esto permitirá continuar mejorando la calidad del cuidado en los servicios sanitarios, y sostener a los pacientes en sus momentos de fragilidad.

Role of surfactants in cosmetic industry
Authors: Prabhjot Kaur
Published: January 2025

The chemical that lowers surface tension is called a surfactant. Surfactants are utilised as raw ingredients in the production of a wide range of products, including soap, surface-active ionic liquids, nanoparticles, carbon nanotube dispersions, and cosmetics. Surfactants are essential for cleaning, conditioning, and foam stabilization in shampoos, conditioners, and styling solutions.

The need for novel and environmentally friendly surfactants is growing along with the cosmetics sector. Current patterns include Bio-based Surfactants, Mild Surfactants, Sustainable Processes. Amino acid and surfactant interactions are crucial for a variety of chemical and biological processes.Their amphiphilic nature—which is defined by the existence of both hydrophobic (repellent) and hydrophilic (attracting) areas—is the main factor affecting the interactions between amino acids and surfactants. It emphasises how the interactions between amino acids and surfactants, which are essential to several biological and chemical processes, are based on their amphiphilic character.

Published: January 2025

This paper aims to indicate the impact of integrating environmentally sustainable project management practices on the financial profitability ratio, especially Gross Margin (GM), Net income Margin (NIM), Operating Margin (OM), and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) in Apple Incorporation. The impact of environmentally sustainable project management practices on the core financial profitability ratios of Apple Incorporation was examined. For the sake of the study, Profitability Ratios (PR) data: Gross Margin (GM), Net income Margin (NIM), Operating Margin (OM), and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), were obtained from Bloomberg. Data obtained were subjected to analysis using descriptive statistics with an Excel software package (version 2021). Results showed that Financial Profitability Ratios (FPR) in the pre-sustainability period was lesser (67.61623%), while the FPR in the post-sustainability period was higher (133.0259%). The analysis demonstrates that the company experienced a significant improvement in the average of all four profitability ratios: GM, NIM, OM, and ROIC, hence the implementation of sustainability practices into its operating activities was determined. This significant increase (96.58%) in the sum of the average PR indicates that the company's profitability significantly improved across key financial metrics during the post-sustainability period compared to the pre-sustainability phase. In conclusion, the overall analysis across all the ratios consistently indicated a positive impact of sustainability practices on the company's profitability ratios and financial performance. The data suggests that the adoption of sustainability initiatives has led to enhanced financial results, providing evidence of the benefits of sustainable business practices. However, further investigation and consideration of other influencing factors are essential for a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between sustainability practices and financial performance in general.

Authors: Farhana Ahmed  , Sarder Mohammad Hafijur Rahman
Published: January 2025

This study evaluates thermal comfort in residential kitchens in Dhaka City, focusing on the influence of window opening behavior on indoor temperature and humidity under different weather conditions. The primary objectives were to analyze window opening patterns and their impact on indoor air conditions, identify architectural factors influencing thermal comfort, and recommend adaptive solutions for energy-efficient ventilation. An experimental-descriptive approach was used, encompassing real-time temperature and humidity measurements in six residential kitchens during May and June 2024. Measurements were recorded under three weather scenarios—sunny, cloudy, and rainy days—with windows fully closed and partially opened (1/4 opening). Results indicated minimal differences in indoor air conditions with closed windows, irrespective of weather. Opening windows to 1/6 proved optimal for balancing ventilation and comfort during sunny days, while prolonged window openings increased energy consumption. On rainy days, high humidity limited indoor comfort, making window opening less effective. Temperature fluctuations across different window opening ratios remained within 1°C, while humidity changes were limited to 0–5% RH. The findings suggest intermittent window openings of up to 8 hours as the most efficient ventilation strategy, while prolonged openings were inefficient. Additionally, adaptive air treatment processes were recommended to maintain desired thermal conditions. This research provides valuable insights for optimizing natural ventilation in residential kitchens, balancing indoor comfort and energy efficiency in tropical climates like Dhaka.

Published: January 2025

The education of the female child is a crucial factor in socio-economic growth; however, it is often obstructed by early marriage, especially in rural areas. This research investigates the relationships among school enrollment, completion rates, and the incidence of early marriage among female children in the Bade villages of Guri District, Jigawa State, Nigeria. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, collecting quantitative data from school records and questionnaires, as well as qualitative insights from focus group talks with parents, educators, and community leaders. Research indicates that while initial enrollment rates for females are comparatively high, completion rates significantly diminish owing to socio-cultural and economic influences that favor early marriage over schooling. Poverty, cultural norms, and gender-based expectations are recognized as primary factors sustaining this tendency. The research further examines the impact of community awareness initiatives, governmental legislation, and non-governmental (NGO’s) activities in tackling these issues. This study highlights the pressing need for comprehensive measures that amalgamate education, community involvement, and policy implementation to address early marriage and enhance educational results for girls. The study offers practical suggestions that enhance initiatives aimed at empowering girl children and promoting sustainable development in Guri District and beyond.

Políticas de reconhecimento e sofrimento psíquico em tempos neoliberais
Authors: Oliveira Jainara Gomes de
Published: January 2025

Neste artigo, discuto as circunstâncias sociais e econômicas nas quais asproblemáticas políticas em torno das reivindicações por reconhecimento e das reivindicações porigualdade social têm exigido uma conceitualização que considere também a natureza disciplinarcaracterística do discurso neoliberal sobre a responsabilidade individual pela felicidade e pelosofrimento. No contexto desse discurso, emergem determinadas prescrições relativas às maneirasespecíficas como os sujeitos devem narrar e reconhecer certas modalidades de sofrimento. Nessesentido, a determinação da legitimidade ou não do sofrimento se apresenta como uma questãotambém política, além de clínica. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada junto a mulheresresidentes na cidade de Dourados, no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul.
