Authors: Bauer Christopher , Emenike Mary , Holme Thomas
Published: June 2022

Outreach activities have been an ongoing commitment of the American Chemical Society and other scientific organizations, yet formal assessment of outcomes has been infrequent. We have designed a simple, reliable, and robust format for assessing attitudinal and motivational characteristics of participants attending informal public events that promote interest in and understanding of chemistry. In final form, this 6-item survey can be distributed on the front and back of an 8.5 x 5.5 card (for pre- and post- assessment). Challenges in design included construct selection and independence, adjusting language for the grade 3-12 populations, physical form and distribution, efficiency and reliability of completion, and item performance and symmetry. Along with a description of the design process, psychometric characteristics and results of field testing at outreach events are described.
The defective nature of CdSe quantum dots embedded in inorganic matrices
Authors: Li Wenke , Li Kai , Zhao Xiujian , Liu Chao , Coudert François-Xavier
Published: June 2022

Quantum dots (QDs) embedded in inorganic matrices have been extensively studied for their potential applications in lighting, displays, and solar cells. While a significant amount of research focused on its experimental fabrication, the origin of their relatively low photoluminescence quantum yield has not been investigated yet, although it severely hinders practical applications. In this work, we use time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to pinpoint the nature of excited states of CdSe quantum dots embedded in various inorganic matrices. The formation of undercoordinated Se atoms and non-bridging oxygen atoms at QD/glass interface is responsible for the localization of a hole wavefunction, leading to the formation of low- energy excited states with weak oscillator strength. These states provide pathways for non-radiative processes and compete with radiative emission. The photoluminescence performance is predicted for CdSe quantum dots in different matrices, and validated by experiments. The results of this work have significant implications for understanding the underlying photophysics of CdSe quantum dots embedded in inorganic matrices that would facilitate the fabrication of highly luminescent glasses.

Published: June 2022

For human safety, efficient removal of formaldehyde in indoor environments is essential. However, removing formaldehyde from indoor environment given the temperature and moisture remains a challenge. In this study, a metal-organic framework-based single-atom iron catalyst (FeSA) is proposed as a candidate catalyst for oxidation of formaldehyde. The optimal structure between different coordination environments of FeSA was screened by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Guided by the theoretical results, FeSA with 5 nitrogen coordination (FeSA-N5-C) was selected and prepared experimentally for evaluation. The activity tests revealed that the removal efficiency of formaldehyde reached 85.5% at 25°C and 75% relative humidity, which is not possible for traditional catalysts. More importantly, moisture boosts catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde to some extent, illustrating that FeSA-N5-C is robust for practical applications. To our knowledge, this is the first report of single-atom catalyst for catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde, opening up a new avenue for design of high activity and strongly water-resistant catalysts.
Direct Hydroxylarylation of Benzylic Carbons (sp3/sp2/sp) via Radical-Radical Cross-Coupling Powered by Paired Electrolysis
Authors: Wang Xiao-Wen , Li Rui-Xue , Deng Yang , Guan Zhi , Huang Chu-Sheng , He Yan-Hong
Published: June 2022

Diaryl alcohol moieties are widespread in pharmaceuticals. Existing methods for the synthesis of diaryl alcohols require the use of pre-functionalized benzylic alcohols, aromatic aldehydes or ketones as starting materials. Herein, the first convergent paired electrochemical approach to the direct hydroxylarylation of unactivated benzylic carbons (sp3/sp2/sp) is declared. This protocol features direct functionalization of unactivated benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds and benzylic sp2/sp-carbons, mild conditions (open air, room temperature), environmentally friendly procedure (without any external catalyst/mediator/additive), and direct access to sterically hindered alcohols from inexpensive and readily available alkyl/alkenyl/alkynylbenzenes. Mechanistic studies, including divided-cell experiments, isotope labeling, radical trapping, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), reaction kinetics, and cyclic voltammetry, strongly support the proposed radical-radical cross-coupling between transient ketyl radicals and persistent radical anions. Gram-scale synthesis and diversification of drug derivative have visualized the tremendous potential of this protocol for practical applications.
Bayesian Optimization of Electrochemical Devices for Electrons-to-Molecules Conversions: The Case of Pulsed CO2 Electroreduction
Authors: Frey Daniel , Neyerlin K.C. , Modestino Miguel A.
Published: June 2022

Electrons-to-molecules conversions have emerged as a route to integrate renewable electricity into chemical production processes and ultimately contribute to the decarbonization of chemistry. The practical implementation of these conversions will depend on the optimization of many electrolyzer design and operating parameters. Bayesian optimization (BO) has been shown to be a robust and efficient method for these types of optimization problems where data may be scarce. Here, we demonstrate the use of BO to improve a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) CO2 electrolyzer, targeting the production of CO through dynamic operation. In a system with intentionally unoptimized components, we first demonstrate the effectiveness of dynamic voltage pulses on CO Faradaic efficiency (FE), then utilize BO for 3D and 4D optimization of pulse times and current densities to achieve a CO partial current density of 189 mA cm-2. The methodology showcased here lays the groundwork for the optimization of other complex electrons-to-molecules conversions that will be required for the electrification of chemical manufacturing.
Microplastics in the Nigerian Environment- A review
Authors: Faleti Ayodele Ifeoluwa
Published: June 2022

The use of plastics and their applications is growing by the second. Their quick production and consequent improper disposal have made plastics a concern for researchers and policymakers. Plastics less than 5 mm are called microplastics and are now found almost everywhere. Microplastics are very resistant to microbial degradation and can spend a century before being thoroughly degraded, their introduction into the environment poses a threat. In addition, microplastics are easily broken out of plastics while in contact with light or radiation, which causes them to break down. It is worth emphasising that there are just a few researchers working on this subject in Nigeria, and there is a void that needs to be addressed. Nevertheless, the persistence of microplastics in the food chain and ecology has been identified as a significant issue. For that purpose, a number of studies have been conducted in the country, quantifying microplastics from various sources, such as the air, water, and soils. This paper examines the environmental hazard posed by plastics and microplastics, including contributions from the Nigerian scientific community, research gaps, and potential solutions.
A little about Pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2]diazepine: simple sustainable synthesis, NMR identification and prototropic equilibrium
Authors: Bohza Serhii , Bohdan Natalia , Stepanova Diana , Nikolaev Alexei , Suikov Serhii
Published: June 2022

A simple and sustainable method for the synthesis of pyrazolo [3,4-d] [1,2] diazepin-8-one, the heterocyclic isoster of 2,3-benzodiazepine, has been developed. It was found that the use of acids to cyclization of the pyrazolopyrone hydrazinolysis product leads to the formation of a condensed pyridine ring instead of 1,2-diazepine. Pyrazolodiazepinone in acidic medium also dramatically contracts the seven-membered cycle. The structure of this compound is proved by the hmbc and hsqc 2D NMR heteronuclear correlation in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide solution in dynamic. Was studied the transformation of its tautomers. It was found that the problem for the pyrazolo [3,4-d] [1,2] diazepin-8-one molecule identification is caused by prototropic isomerization of the pyrazole ring.

Published: June 2022

In cancer cells, glutaminolysis is the primary source of biosynthetic precursors, and recent efforts to develop amino acid analogs to inhibit glutamine metabolism in cancer have been extensive. Our lab recently discovered many L-γ-methyleneglutamic acid amides that were shown to be as efficacious as tamoxifen or olaparib in inhibiting the cell growth of MCF-7, SK-BR-3, and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells after 24 or 72 h of treatment. None of the compounds inhibited the cell growth of non-malignant MCF-10A breast cells. These compounds hold promise as novel therapeutics for the treatment of multiple subtypes of breast cancer. Herein we report our syntheses and evaluation of two series of tert-butyl ester and ethyl ester prodrugs of these L-γ-methyleneglutamic acid amides and the cyclic metabolite and its tert-butyl ester and ethyl ester prodrugs on the three breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, SK-BR-3, and MDA-MB-231 and the non-malignant MCF-10A breast cell line. These prodrugs were also found to suppress the growth of the breast cancer cells, but less potent compared to their parent L-γ-methyleneglutamic acid amides. Therefore, pharmacokinetic (PK) studies were carried out on the lead L-γ-methyleneglutamic acid amide (compound 5) to establish the tissue-specific distribution and other PK parameters. Notably, 5 showed moderate exposure to the brain with a half-life of 0.71 h and a good tissue distribution in the kidney and liver. The L-γ-methyleneglutamic acid amides were then tested on head and neck cancer cell lines HN30 and HN31 and glioblastoma cell lines BNC3 and BNC6 and were found to effectively suppress the growth of these cancer cells after 24 or 72 h of treatment in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest broad applications of these L-γ-methyleneglutamic acid amides in anticancer therapy.
Controversies and Dilemmas in Severe Asthma
Authors: Popović-Grle Sanja
Published: June 2022

As severe asthma is a rather common respiratory disease, with a heavy burden for the patient, the health system and society, it is important to recognize it and apply modern biological therapy if indicated. As in today’s approach to asthma management, we tend no more to “me too medicine”, but to individual therapy in personalised and precise medicine. This article is dealing with some controversies and dilemmas in the field. After introducing biological therapy in the early 2000s, systemic glucocorticoids became the second option for patients with severe asthma. Starting with the controversy about accurate asthma diagnosis, then the question of where patients with severe asthma are hiding, thirdly, are we treating those patients appropriately and comprehensively, and finally, are we emphasising enough the necessity of smoking cessation? After reviewing the facts, and considering the extensive discussion exposed in controversies, a similar analysis brought up a few dilemmas, i.e. how could we precisely define severe asthma phenotypes, how should we distinguish asthma from COPD in middle-aged smoking patients, and how to make the right personalized choice of biologicals. There is also the dilemma about age - how old (or young) should the patient be for the indication for biologicals, and lastly, the length of treatment which is appropriate to assess a patient’s response to biologicals (“responder” or “non-responders”).

Published: June 2022

Asthma is a common respiratory disease affecting patients of all ages and races. Up to the middle of the 20th century there was scarce knowledge regarding the biology of the disease and asthma was a potentially lethal disease with very limited therapeutic options. The introduction of corticosteroids revolutionized the management of asthma and improved the lives of millions of patients. Parental and later oral administration was the first treatment with remarkable effects on asthma symptoms and exacerbations but led to serious systemic effects. The invention of inhaled forms of corticosteroids that had minimal systemic absorption and adverse reactions, the enhancement of their efficacy by LABAs and the understanding of asthma pathophysiology were only a few of the significant advances in asthma management over the last 60 years. In this review we present these life-changing advances in asthma treatment, focusing οn the evolutionary role of corticosteroids.
The Characteristics of Upper Respiratory Tract in the Patients with Asthma and the Patients with Episodic Laryngeal Obstruction
Authors: Hočevar Boltežar Irena
Published: June 2022

Background. Asthma and some other diseases of the upper respiratory tract have similar symptoms and signs. The signs and symptoms of rhinitis and laryngitis are not unusual in patients with allergic asthma. Attacks of dyspnea are not characteristic only for asthma but also for some other diseases with pathogenesis in the larynx. Methods. The recent papers on upper respiratory tract characteristics in the patients with asthma and the patients with episodic laryngeal obstruction were reviewed. Results. The connections between the nasal signs and symptoms and asthma are well established what is not the case for laryngeal problems. The laryngeal symptoms and signs in patients with asthma can be caused by the same triggers as asthma. However, they can also be merely the consequences of the asthma signs and symptoms or the asthma treatment. The pathogenesis of the episodic laryngeal obstruction includes a variety of causes which dictate the mode of treatment. In some cases, asthma and episodic laryngeal obstruction can coexist. Conclusions. In order to find the correct diagnosis and proper treatment of the upper respiratory tract problems in patients with dyspnea attacks, a team of different specialists is necessary.

Published: June 2022

According to WHO, 2015 anemia is caused by iron deficiency, where one of the high-risk groups is adolescents. In developing countries, adolescent girls who experience anemia at an average age of 10-18 years reach 41.5%. Likewise in Indonesia, young women who experience iron deficiency anemia are as much as 51.7%. The implementation of youth Posyandu activities in Bone Bolango Regency aims to make it easier for the community, especially teenagers, to get health services in an effort to increase awareness and preparedness for risks that can cause adolescent health problems. Based on a preliminary study at the Posyandu at the Botupingge Health Center, Bone Bolango Regency, it was found that the total number of adolescents was 220 people, and only 12 people detected anemia. This situation shows that the coverage of youth posyandu visits is still low so that anemia is not detected in adolescents. The screening for early detection of anemia by health workers and the community is more focused on pregnant women. The provision of health education about anemia in adolescents has been carried out at the Youth Posyandu, but in its implementation and implementation it is not running effectively. Therefore, it is very necessary to refresh Posyandu cadres, especially regarding anemia. The targets of community service are Posyandu cadres and young women. This activity was carried out in the form of material refresher for youth cadres through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, practice of identifying signs and symptoms of anemia, cadre assistance through WhatsApp groups, Youth Posyandu services and knowledge evaluation through questionnaires and observation sheets.

Objectives. The study aims to examine whether working mothers have a higher level of work and/or family conflict than the rest of the population. Material and methods. The sample consisted of 199 participants out of which 67 were working mothers. The used materials include scales measuring the level of conflict between work and family, overall job satisfaction, general health of participants, perceived stress and family satisfaction. In order to verify the hypotheses, the sample was divided into two groups – group A, which was composed of mothers with children under 18 years old, and group B, composed of men, childless women, and women with children over 18 years old. Results. There was no statistically significant difference between the sample collected from Group A (M = 2.66; SD = 0.78) and Group B (M = 2.58; SD = 0.75): t (197) = 0.657; p> 0.05. A Two-way ANOVA analysis was performed to further investigate whether there was any relationship between the level of conflict, gender and the presence of children. The results show that there was no statistically significant difference between the effect of gender and the presence of children on the scale of work-family conflict, p> 0.05. A moderately positive correlation was found, r = 0.413, p <0.000, between the conflict level and a deteriorated general health, and a linear moderately positive correlation, r = 0.332, p <0.000, between the conflict and the stress levels. Conclusions. The development explores options for increasing the balance between the personal and the professional life. Keywords: perceived stress, work-family conflict, Bulgaria.

Published: June 2022

Objectives. Studies have shown that single-parent families face various types of psycho-emotional problems but also the precariousness of economic resources, being among the vulnerable groups with a high risk of social exclusion. The paper presents a series of concrete aspects from a research conducted in Bihor County and it aims to analyze the differences between children from single-parent families and those coming from two-parent families, and those between single-mother families and single-father families, respectively, in terms of school life. Material and methods. The method used consists in a sociological survey based on a questionnaire, applied to a representative sample of 4708 8th grade students from Bihor County, in the 2019-2020 school year. Data processing was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences [SPSS] program, with the aim of calculating the frequencies and correlations between the variables. Results. In terms of school performance, education environment quality within the family, and school-family collaboration, the research found statistically significant differences between single-parent and two-parent students, respectively between families with single mothers and single fathers. Conclusions. The data showed that school performance is strongly influenced by family structure, climate, and functionality. From this perspective, the single-parent family represents a structure with low educational potential; in terms of school performance, the single-mother family describes a structure that favors school performance to a greater extent compared to the single-father family.

OUT OF CONTROL: TEENAGERS, SELF-CONTROL, AND RISKY BEHAVIORS
Authors: CIURBEA Flavia-Elena , LEBAN Urša , RADA Cornelia
Published: June 2022

Obiectives. This systematic review aimed to explore the relationship between low self-control and risky behaviors, in order to identify prophylactic and interventional measures to reduce the dangers to which some adolescents may be exposed. Material and methods. Using the APA PsycNet and PubMed platforms, studies that investigated the link between self-control and risk were sought. Of the 2707 articles initially obtained, it was opted for studies in English, with the average age of the participants between 14-21 years old. Results. The 61 selected articles revealed seven categories of risks associated with a low level of self-regulation: substance use – 28 studies, aggressive manifestation – 13 studies, delinquency – 10 studies, risky sexual behaviors – 8 studies, living the situation of a victim – 4 studies, gambling – 2 studies, other risky behaviors (consumption of unhealthy foods, compulsive manifestations, executive dysfunctions, etc.) – 9 studies. Some authors have shown that self-control can hold both a mediator and a moderator role between certain predictors and risky behaviors. Also, the relationship between self-control and risky behaviors can be influenced by intermediate variables: substance use, volume of the left orbitofrontal cortex (mediators); school climate (moderator). Five studies indicated that boys showed less self-control capacity than girls, and two other studies showed the opposite. Conclusions. Designing and implementing some individual and group intervention programs, with a focus on acquiring behavioral control skills, can be useful in preventing risky behaviors in adolescents, especially substance use, aggressive manifestations, delinquency, etc. It is also important that the management of one’s own emotions be learned from pre-adolescence, the involvement of parents being essential in this psycho-educational approach. Keywords: self-control; adolescence; impulsivity; risky behaviors.
STUDY OF THE SENIOR POPULATION OF COPȘA MICĂ AFTER THE REVOLUTION AND THE MODEL CHANGE. AN ETHNOGRAPHIC VISION
Authors: CIUCIUMAN ROMERO Adrián
Published: June 2022

Objectives.The health-care and welfare needs of the elderly population are increasing in Eastern European countries, especially in Romania. In 1989, subsequently after the fall of Ceausescu´s regime, the country had to restart, with the novelty of going abroad to work in the post-revolutionary Romanian context, retaining those who would become the future old age of the country. The purpose of this article was to explore the various social problems faced by this sector of the population, as a result of an ethnography within the framework of a case study carried out in the city of Copșa Mică. Materials and methods. The study was based on an ethnographic research carried out between September 2020 and April 2021, supported by discourse analysis of 12 life stories and 18 in-depth interviews, a total of 30 people from the town of Copșa Mică, 15 men and 15 women, whose ages were between 53 and 85 years. Results. In particular, this study revealed the existence of invisible illnesses and suffering that affect mental health, such as loneliness, abandonment or depression. These discomforts come, partly, as a result of the change of paradigm, and the constant migration of former workers sons and daughters. Conclusions. It is necessary to rethink these contemporary challenges, in which the current social structure puts old age aside, with the duty of positioning it towards a dignified old age and increasing social strategies to face the growing need for care and attention. Keywords: abandonment, loneliness, migration, mental health, old age.

Published: June 2022

Teachers’ roles have changed dramatically over the last decades – from traditional spoon-feeders to facilitators of learning. Teacher education institutions play a huge role in getting them ready for the field. Thus, this study probed the 21st century teaching skills and teaching standards competence level of the CTE graduates of Mindoro State College of Agriculture and Technology (MinSCAT) who graduated in the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Two hundred and fifteen (215) participating teachers (MinSCAT Graduates) and their immediate supervisors answered a two-part questionnaire through Google Forms exploring the extent of the graduates’ skills and competence. The data collected were sorted and subjected to t-Test, ANOVA and multiple linear regression. The results showed that the teachers’ skills and competence are of high to very high extent. Specifically, the graduates received high ratings on their effective communication skills, life and career skills, and personal growth and professional development. The teachers showed remarkable performances in the light of these indicators. One way ANOVA revealed that there are significant differences in the level of the graduates’ 21st century teaching skills and teaching standards competence level in terms of their indicators. The study recommends for the CTE faculty and students to hold frequent dialogues and consultations to ensure the development of potential and acquisition of 21st century teaching skills and teaching standard competence of the CTE students and to address students’ challenges. Consistent sensitivity to the needs of the faculty and the students should be given preferential attention to develop the culture of excellence in the department.

The Situational Judgment Test (SJT) has become an increasingly well-known measurement method that is frequently used in various fields, especially for personnel selection, promotion, and professional development. The SJT also has a greater potential in relation to the selection of teachers in the education sector. Teacher selection aspects such as non-academic attributes, specifically the interpersonal and intrapersonal, are the focus of this study. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) consisting of a review protocol to determine the topic that has been researched and the method used for making revisions. The SLR approach has four phases: searching, screening, analysing, and the results with numerous criteria established. The review consists of seven studies on teacher selection using the SJT instrument over the past ten years during the period January 2012 to December 2021. Eight interpersonal attributes were obtained based on six previous studies, namely organisation, planning, empathy, communication, teaching, relationships with colleagues, counselling, and contingency. Meanwhile seven intrapersonal attributes were obtained, namely conscientiousness, mindset, emotion regulation, adaptability, enthusiasm and motivation, resilience, and professional ethics. The attributes found can be utilised as they are fundamental for teacher selection criteria. The previous studies employed the same attributes. However, the attributes should only be employed according to the suitability of the selection context being performed.

Published: June 2022

Covid-19 pandemic has compelled countries to conduct contact tracing vigorously in order to curb the highly infectious virus from further spread. In this context, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has been broadly used, utilizing Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) for Close Contact Identification (CCI). However, many of the available solutions are not able to adhere to the guidelines provided by Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention which are: (1) Distance requirement of within 6-feet (~2 meters) and (2) Minimum 15-minutes duration for CCI. In providing some closure to the gap, we proposed a novel approach of utilizing: (1) Low calibrated transmission power (Tx) and (2) Number of signal captures. Our proposed approach is to lowly calibrate Tx so that when distance is at 2 meters between users, number signal capture gets lower as the chipset’s smallest RSSI sensitivity value has been reached. In this paper, complete experimentation for Proof of Concept (POC) and Pilot test conducted are demonstrated. Results obtained shows that the accuracy for POC utilizing signal captures for 2 0.3 m distance is at: (1) 71.43% for 5 users and (2) 70.69% for 9 users. While so, accuracy for the Pilot test when considering CCI on individual case-basis is at 95% for 5 users. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2022-SPER-013 Full Text: PDF
