Hemicucurbiturils are macrocycles formed by connecting ethyleneurea moieties with methylene bridges. This study presents the development of self-assembled chiral mono-biotinylated hemicucurbit[8]urils (mixHC[8]) in the solid state. The mixHC[8]s were synthesized in a single preparative step by a mechanochemically-assisted condensation reaction of D-biotin, (R,R)- or (S,S)-cyclohexa-1,2-diylurea and formaldehyde. Dynamic covalent library of over 100 identified oligomers was generated via ball milling under perchloric or hexafluorophosphoric acid catalysis. Rigorous analysis of intermediates, including formation kinetics of short oligomers, revealed key processes and chemical parameters influencing self-assembly. We found that self-organization of about 50,000 theoretically predicted oligomers can be directed to formation of 8-membered hemicucurbiturils in 75% yield, consisting of a 1:1 mixture of chimeric mixHC[8] and homomeric cyclohexanohemicucurbit[8]uril (cycHC[8], 38% and 37% yields, respectively), or predominantly homomeric cycHC[8] (up to a 72% yield). The developed procedure was used for synthesis of diastereomeric (−)- and (+)-mixHC[8] suitable for anion binding and derivatization. Immobilization of mixHC[8] on a surface of aminated silica produced a functional material capable of selective capture of anions, as demonstrated by efficient perchlorate removal from a spiked mineral matrix.
Fast Collective Hydrogen-Bond Dynamics in Hexafluoroisopropanol Related to its Chemical Activity
Authors: Caporaletti Federico , Gunkel Lucas , Fernández-Ibáñez María Ángeles , Hunger Johannes , Woutersen Sander
Published: May 2024

Using fluorinated mono-alcohols, in particular hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP), as a solvent can enhance chemical reaction rates in a spectacular manner. Previous work has shown that this enhancement is related to the hydrogen-bond structure of these liquids. Here, we investigate the hydrogen-bond dynamics of HFIP and compare it to the dynamics of its non-fluorinated analog, 2-propanol. Time-resolved and two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy show that the dynamics of single hydrogen-bonds (occurring on a time scale of a few picoseconds) is about twice as slow in HFIP as in 2-propanol. Surprisingly, from dielectric spectroscopy we find the opposite behavior for the collective hydrogen-bond dynamics: the time scale for collective hydrogen-bond rearrangements is 3 times faster in HFIP than in 2-propanol, with a characteristic time scale of 140~ps. This difference in time scales indicates that the hydrogen-bonded clusters in HFIP are smaller than in 2-propanol. The smaller cluster size can contribute to the enhanced reaction rates in HFIP by increasing the concentration of reactive, terminal OH groups of the clusters, whereas the fast collective dynamics can increase the rate of formation of hydrogen bonds between reactants and these terminal OH groups. The longer lifetime of the individual hydrogen bonds in HFIP can enhance the stability of the hydrogen-bonded clusters, and so increase the probability of reactant-solvent hydrogen bonding resulting in a reaction.
Prebiotic nanoscale cavity formation: GABA-induced exfoliation in Ca-montmorillonite
Authors: Bezaly Orr Rose , Petrignani Annemieke , King Helen E.
Published: May 2024

We present exfoliation of a crystalline clay induced by the small carbon-chain amino acid, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), upon adsorption-desorption interaction. We experimentally investigated the interaction between Ca-montmorillonite clay (Ca-Mt) and GABA, a non-proteinogenic amino acid commonly found in carbonaceous meteorites. Despite evidence of only transient adsorption onto the clay surfaces, GABA exhibits the capacity to act as an exfoliator. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy reveals a non-reversible structural change of the Ca-Mt aluminosilicate network induced by GABA. Powder XRD analysis and TEM imaging reveal that localised, partial exfoliation of the clay layers occurrs after interaction with GABA, creating internal nanoscale cavities in-between adjacent clay layers. These results demonstrate that an elementary, monomeric species can act as an exfoliating agent in a prebiotically-relevant scenario, and that in this process, nanoscale confined environments are formed. This work may have far-reaching implications for the role of non-proteinogenic species in proteinogenesis (non-enzymatic formation of proteins) and for the role of clays in processes leading to the origin of life on rocky (exo)planets.

Published: May 2024

Aim. To determine the possibility of identifying patients with significant coronary artery disease (CAD) by evaluation of the left ventricular (LV) myocardial work indicators by constructing pressure-strain loops despite a negative test result during exercise stress echocardiography.
Materials and methods. The study included 79 patients with suspected or previously confirmed CAD, of which 47 (59%) men, who had a negative test result during exercise stress echocardiography on the treadmill. Global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW) and global work efficiency (GWE) were evaluated using the technique of constructing pressure-strain loops at rest and at peak exercise.
Results. With similar systolic blood pressure and LV ejection fraction at peak exercise between the control group and the group of patients with single-vessel CAD, there was revealed significant difference in GWI, GCW and GWE at peak exercise. In patients with multi-vessel CAD, GWI and GCW also significantly differed from the control group at peak exercise.
Conclusion. The evaluation of LV myocardial work indicators may be recommended for a more accurate diagnosis of CAD in negative or unreliable test results during exercise stress echocardiography.

Published: May 2024

Background. One of the important links in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a change in the composition of the microbiota, and therefore, the use of probiotics in complex therapy can be considered as a pathogenetic treatment of this functional disease.
Aim. To study the effectiveness of probiotic use on the composition of the intestinal microbiota and the dynamics of symptoms in patients with IBS with predominance of diarrhea (IBS-D) or constipation (IBS-C).
Materials and methods. 10 patients with IBS-D and 7 patients with IBS-C who took a probiotic for 28 days, which included: Lactobacillus acidophilus 1.25×109 CFU, Bifidobacterium lactis – 1.25×109 CFU, Lactobacillus paracasei – 1.25×109 CFU, Lactobacillus rhamnosus – 1.25×109 CFU. The dynamics of symptoms was assessed using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale, and the composition of the microbiota before and after taking the probiotic was analyzed by sequencing 16S pRNA of stool samples.
Results. In both groups, we found a statistically significant decrease in the level of Proteobacteria and an increase in Firmicutes. In patients with IBS-C, there was a decrease in Negativicutes, which, on the contrary, increased in patients with IBS-D. Shannon's diversity index in patients with IBS-C was statistically significantly lower than in patients with IBS-D 1.55 vs 2.74 (p=0.1). Against the background of the application, there was an increase in microbial diversity in patients with IBS-D, it increased to 3.01, and in patients with IBS-C to 2.68. Against the background of changes in the microbiota, there was a positive dynamics of disease symptoms against the background of taking probiotics.
Conclusion. The results obtained reflect the positive effect of probiotics in patients with IBS-D and IBS-C, which makes it possible to clarify the role of microbiota in the development of IBS and recommend their use as part of complex therapy for this disease.

Published: May 2024

Aim. To evaluate the possibilities of the spatial QRS-T angle (sQRS-Ta) and the frontal QRS-T angle (fQRS-Ta) to detect low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with chronic coronary heart disease.
Materials and methods. We analyzed the data of 287 patients with chronic coronary artery disease, in 80 cases complicated by chronic heart failure with low LVEF. fQRS-Ta was calculated as absolute value of the difference between the frontal plane QRS and T axes. sQRS-Ta was calculated using the synthesized vectorcardiogram as a spatial angle between the integral QRS and T vectors.
Results. The fQRS-Ta values in the group were 70 [25; 141]°. sQRS-Ta values in the group were 96 [55; 148]°. There were correlations between fQRS-Ta and LVEF (r=-0.58; p0.0001) and sQRS-Ta with LVEF (r=-0.63; p0.0001). According to the ROC analysis, fQRS-Ta with a threshold value of 90° made it possible to identify patients with LVEF≤40% with a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 75% (area under the ROC curve 0.85±0.03) and patients with LVEF≤35% with 87% sensitivity and 69% specificity (area under the ROC curve 0.84±0.04). sQRS-Ta with a threshold value of 125° made it possible to identify patients with LVEF≤40% with a sensitivity of 86% and a specificity of 82% (area under the ROC curve 0.89±0.03) and patients with LVEF≤35% with sensitivity 93% and specificity 76% (area under the ROC curve 0.89±0.02).
Conclusion. In patients with chronic coronary artery disease, as the LVEF decreases, the frontal and spatial angles between the QRS and T vectors increase. These indicators with sufficiently high sensitivity and specificity make it possible to identify patients with reduced LVEF among patients with chronic coronary artery disease.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) pose a significant health care challenge due to their prevalence and potential complications. Early and accurate detection of DFUs is crucial for timely intervention and prevention of severe complications. This study proposes an innovative approach for automated DFU detection utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), a powerful class of deep learning algorithms widely recognized for their proficiency in image analysis tasks. The proposed CNN model is trained on a comprehensive dataset of foot images, encompassing a diverse range of DFU types, stages, and conditions. The training process involves learning intricate patterns and features indicative of DFUs, enabling the model to generalize well to unseen data. The CNN algorithm's effectiveness in feature extraction and spatial hierarchy learning is harnessed to identify subtle visual cues associated with DFUs, enhancing diagnostic accuracy. The proposed system is designed to operate on medical images, particularly those obtained through various imaging modalities such as digital photography or thermal imaging. Through rigorous validation and performance evaluation, the CNN model exhibits promising results, showcasing its potential as a reliable tool for automated DFU detection. The integration of this technology into clinical practice holds the promise of expediting the diagnostic process, facilitating timely medical interventions, and ultimately improving patient outcomes.

A review of quality assurance texture for highly pigmented iris recognition using an optimal wavelength band
Authors: Shirisha G.
Published: May 2024

The iris identification technology that is commercially available often uses segmentation to capture images of the eye
within the 850-nm electromagnetic radiation spectrum. In this paper, the strongly pigmented iris image is taken with a
camera at 12 different wavelengths, ranging from 420 to 940 nm. The goal is to identify the best wavelength band to
expand the iris image wavelengths from 420 to 940 nm in NIR (near infrared) for the purpose of densely pigmented iris
recognition. A system that obtains data, usually by digitizing analog channels and storing the data in digital form, is
primarily anticipated for imaging the iris at narrow spectral bands in the range of 420–940 nm. This system takes pictures
within particular wavelength ranges across the electromagnetic spectrum. Then, 200 human black iris that match the
left and right eyes of 100 distinct people are obtained for the assessment. The most common wavelength for recognizing
an iris with significant pigmentation is based on texture quality assurance, Equivalent Error Rate (EER), and False Rejection
Rate (FRR) matching performance. The visual perception of heightened, detailed local iris texture information supports
this effect.

Authors: Fang Fang
Published: May 2024

This study investigated the impact of China’s monetary policy on both the money market and stock markets, assuming that non-policy variables would not respond contemporaneously to changes in policy variables. Monetary policy adjustments are swiftly observed in money markets and gradually extend to the stock market. The study examined the effects of monetary policy shocks using three primary instruments: interest rate policy, reserve requirement ratio, and open market operations. Monthly data from 2007 to 2013 were analyzed using vector error correction (VEC) models. The findings suggest a likely presence of long-lasting and stable relationships among monetary policy, the money market, and stock markets. This research holds practical implications for Chinese policymakers, particularly in managing the challenges associated with fluctuation risks linked to high foreign exchange reserves, aiming to achieve autonomy in monetary policy and formulate effective monetary strategies to stimulate economic growth.

Performance-based assessment (PBA) enables teachers to determine learners’ genuine language competency and promote critical thinking skills. The students applied their knowledge in practical ways during the teaching and learning process. Evaluating skill is one of the higher-order thinking abilities (HOTS) every individual should strive to master. Some research have indicated that this competence is under-evaluated. This study intends to elucidate the utilization of Performance-Based Assessment for evaluating students' skills in learning English. A qualitative research design was used to recruit an English teacher who met the study requirements and was teaching ninth-grade students at SMPN 2 Semarang. Information was collected through classroom observation, document analysis, and interviews. The study revealed that the teacher utilized probing questions in process-oriented assessment while applying performance-based assessment to evaluate students' skills in evaluating English acquisition. Challenging questions were asked during the learning activities to challenge students to think critically about their answers. The teacher led the pupils in a thorough discussion of the learning materials. The assessment questions were primarily open-ended WH questions designed to engage higher-order thinking skills

Published: May 2024

Studies on effective speaking teaching strategies have caught mushrooming attention in these last two decades. This is not happening by incidental matters as globalized educationalists are still having arduous moments in devising more suitable, enjoyable, and relatable speaking learning strategies that can maximize EFL learners’ self-confidence. According to previous researchers, self-confidence is one of the propelling factors enabling EFL learners to gain more advanced communication proficiency levels since they possess a higher level of preparedness in confronting a wide variety of challenging speaking learning enterprises. This small-scale library study employed a thematic analysis approach while analyzing a certain number of identical research results produced by prior 25 speaking investigations published worldwide. By utilizing this research method, the researcher can potentially yield more relevant, contextual, and comprehensible research outcomes due to an iterative data analysis conducted before initiating more specific research theme groupings. Based on the thematically categorized research results, second language educators can progressively inculcate robust speaking self-confidence among EFL learners upon the activation of more authentic and enjoyable speaking learning activities. More comprehensive delineations regarding these two speaking learning methodologies can be discerned in the ensuing parts of this research paper

Published: May 2024

The article attempts to explore the concept of “information transparency” as a legal and scientific category; to analyse the modern theory and practice of this requirement on the example of leading higher education institutions of Ukraine, including Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”. The study assessed not only the communicative and informational, but also the marketing and image functions of the educational institution official website. Since the target audience of the higher education institutions websites consists not only of students and staff but also of entrants, their parents, government officials, employers, foreign colleagues and partners, the representation on the World Wide Web can be a key factor in forming a positive or a negative impression. Therefore, the method of content analysis of official websites of leading higher education institutions in Ukraine determined the characteristics of attractive and at the same time ergonomic structure of the site: information should be available to those who are significantly influenced or can be influenced by the organization; it should be timely, evidence-based, presented in a clear and objective way so as to enable the target audience to accurately assess the impact of the organization’s decisions and activities on their interests.
