The aim of the study was to create cosmetic formulations used for washing and conditioning based on natural whey derived from tofu. Tofu whey used in the production of hair cosmetics turns out to be valuable waste that replaces water. Whey is an ingredient rich in proteins, oligosaccharides and isoflavones. When trying to follow the principles of sustainable development, we need also to be responsible for protecting water resources. Using whey, we limit water consumption to the necessary minimum. Hence, we also support no water waste trend. Tofu whey, which is a valuable waste that replaces water, was used in the production of podology products. The research was conducted following the approval of the Bioethics Committee, resolution number 223/22. Tests confirming or excluding the properties and performance of tofu whey declared by the Ordering Party were carried out at probands’ homes and in the Dermatology Center (Centrum Dermatologii Sp. z o.o.) in Poznan. The probands were volunteers. A group of 30 people was selected for the study according to the indications for the use of the product submitted for experiments. The selection of probands was carried out after a preliminary assessment of the condition of feet and health. Due to the purpose of the product, the study involved people who declared a desire to improve the appearance and condition of their feet. The study used the imaging method with the participation of a microcamera.

Published: March 2024

Inverted singlet-triplet gap (INVEST) materials have promising photophysical properties for optoelectronic applications due to an inversion of their lowest singlet (S1) and triplet (T1) excited states. This results in an exothermic reverse intersystem crossing (rISC) process that potentially enhances triplet harvesting, compared to thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters with endothermic rISCs. However, the processes and phenomena that facilitate conversion between excited states for INVEST materials are underexplored. We investigate the complex potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the excited states of three heavily studied azaphenalene INVEST compounds, namely cyclazine, pentazine and heptazine using two state-of-the-art computational methodologies, namely RMS-CASPT2 and SCS-ADC(2) methods. Our findings suggest that ISC and rISC processes take place directly between the S1 and T1 electronic states in all three compounds through a minimum-energy crossing point (MECP) with an activation energy barrier between 0.11 to 0.58 eV above the S1 state for ISC and between 0.06 to 0.36 eV above the T1 state for rISC. We predict that higher-lying triplet states are not populated, since the crossing point structures to these states are not energetically accessible. Furthermore, the conical intersection (CI) between the ground and S1 states are high in energy for all compounds (between 0.4 to 2.0 eV) which makes nonradiative decay back to the ground state a relatively slow process. We demonstrate that the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) driving the S1-T1 conversion is enhanced by vibronic coupling with higher-lying singlet and triplet states possessing vibrational modes of proper symmetry. We also rationalize that the experimentally-observed anti-Kasha emission of cyclazine is due to the energetically inaccessible CI between the bright S2 and the dark S1 states, hindering internal conversion. Finally, we show that SCS-ADC(2) is able to qualitatively reproduce excited state features, but consistently overpredict relative energies of excited state structural minima compared to RMS-CASPT2. The identification of these excited state features elaborates design rules for new INVEST emitters with improved emission quantum yields.

Control over temperature in space and time is of utmost importance in many contexts, including photothermal therapies, where a good temperature monitoring and control is expected to improve their clinical outcome. One of the most promising techniques involves the use of magnetic resonance imaging, exploring the temperature change of proton relaxometric properties or exploring the temperature change of contrast agents. In real applications, the use of contrast agents for thermometry is much better justified if thermometry comes as an added value of a photothermal agent. Here we show iron selenide nanoparticles (NPs) that are able to work simultaneously as efficient near infrared photothermal and thermometry agents embedded in cellular models at concentrations where their toxicity is low. The simultaneous heat generation and temperature mapping around these NPs allow the control over the depth achieved by the therapy and detection and control of hot spots that would be otherwise overlooked, for instance.
Heterocycles as Supramolecular Handles for Crystal Engineering: A Case Study with 7-(diethylamino)coumarin Derivatives
Authors: Castro Geraldyne , Romero-Ávila Margarita , Farfán Norberto , Arcos-Ramos Rafael , Maldonado-Domínguez Mauricio
Published: March 2024

In this study, we present the synthesis and detailed solid-state structural characterization of a Schiff-base-bridged derivative of 7-(diethyl)aminocoumarin (DAC) to carry out a comparative crystallographic analysis, within the broader context of a curated dataset of 50 DAC-containing molecules, retrieved from the literature, and their corresponding crystal packing. We uncover that the DAC moiety leverages its pronounced local dipole moment and inherently planar configuration to facilitate different modes of π-stacking interaction. These are strongly directed by C-H···O interactions between the coumarin carbonyl group with the ethyl-residue or the 3-substituent of adjacent molecules. In solution, the presence of a 7-diethylamino group is shown to enhance solubility through its conformational flexibility, while in the crystalline matrix it primarily acts as a structural spacer that favors π-stacking interactions. Our findings present a comprehensive analysis of the preferential arrangements of the DAC fragment in various (supra)molecular scenarios, including cases where its influence is overridden. We thus present the entire 7-(diethylamino)coumarin block as (a) mobile but mostly planar, (b) prone to antiparallel aggregation, and (c) 90% likely to pack via π-stacking supported by hydrogen- bonding interactions, enriching the palette of supramolecular motifs for the programmed assembly of molecular solids.
B(C6F5)3-Catalyzed Formal (n+3) (n = 5,6) Cycloaddition of Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes to Medium Bicyclo[n.1.1]alkanes

Published: March 2024

Herein, a B(C6F5)3-catalyzed formal (n+3) (n = 5,6) cycloaddition of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) with imidazolidines/hexahydropyrimidines is described. The reaction provides a modular, atom-economical and efficient strategy to two libraries of synthetically challenging medium-bridged rings, 2,5-diazabicyclo[5.1.1]nonanes and 2,6-diazabicyclo[6.1.1]decanes, in moderate to excellent yields. This reaction also features simple operation, mild reaction conditions and broad substrate scope. A scale-up experiment and various synthetic transformations of products further highlight the synthetic utility. Control experiments support that the reaction mechanism involves a nucleophilic addition of imidazolidines/hexahydropyrimidines to B(C6F5)3-activated BCBs, succeeded by an intramolecular cyclization. As we know, this methodology represents the first high order (n+3) (n > 3) cycloaddition of BCBs to saturated bicyclo[n.1.1]alkanes. We anticipate that this report will promote the exploration of BCB-based high order cycloaddition chemistry to access diverse challenging medium-bridged rings.
Preparing initial conditions for excited-state dynamics in solvated systems
Authors: Curtis Ethan , Jones Chey , Martinez Todd
Published: March 2024

Performing excited-state dynamics or computing spectra on solvated systems requires sampling the ground state to generate initial conditions. Initial conditions (or snapshots for spectra) are typically produced by QM/MM Boltzmann sampling (following MM equilibration or optimization). It is now becoming clear that one should wait for a set period of time, which we call the healing time, before beginning to sample from the QM/MM trajectory. An appropriate healing time should be as short as possible (to avoid unnecessary computational effort), but long enough to equilibrate to the QM/MM ground state distribution. Healing times in previous studies range from tens of femtoseconds to tens of picoseconds, suggesting the need for guidelines to choose a healing time. We examine the effect of healing trajectory length on the nonadiabatic dynamics and spectrum of a first-generation Donor-Acceptor Stenhouse Adduct in chloroform. Insufficient healing times skew the branching ratio of relaxation back to the ground state and alter the relaxation time for one pathway. The healing time exerts a weaker influence on the spectrum: an insufficient healing time may cause a slight red shift. Monitoring the solute temperature during the healing trajectory provides a reasonable estimate for the healing time. Last, we apply the solute temperature metric to other common equilibration methods for solvated systems.

Published: March 2024

Indoor air pollution is seen in poultry and many other animal husbandry industries. Small airborne nitrogenous chemicals (ANCs), such as ammonia and small amines, are common air pollutants in poultry farms. Elevated ANC concentration in poultry farms can significantly worsen the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the farm, which will affect animal productivity, animal welfare, and occupational health of producers. Re- cent studies have identified ammonia and small volatile organic pollutants in the farm. On the other hand, characterization of large ANCs, such as uric acid (UA) and large amines have rarely been reported, despite they are proposed as the major source of biological nitrogen waste. Our goal is to project a novel insight into nitrogen cycles in poultry farms. This project includes on-site time-resolved collections of ANCs using a particle-into-liquid-sampler (PILS), followed by chemical characterization by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) with a novel derivatization method. Over quantitative assessment of ANCs in the poultry farm, we discovered UA and suspended particles are correlated with changing animal behaviors. Phase partition- ing of UA, ammoniacal species, and large amines were discovered among air, particle, and litter materials. The discovery of these indoor pollutants can be associated with the formation of dust particles and ammonia, and the results can benefit the poultry industry in solving persisting IAQ problems.

Published: March 2024

Environmental issues are escalating in severity with the rapid progression of globalization. Despite the pervasive impact of environmental challenges on all facets of human activities, only a few academic disciplines have integrated green themes into their literature. The pressing need for a holistic approach to address environmental concerns has spurred businesses to reassess and modify their behaviors. This shift is a response to the evolving societal consciousness regarding environmental issues. The proliferation of green marketing strategies is a direct consequence of the changing dynamics within the consumer market. As businesses strategically align themselves with the environmental concerns of consumers, there is a noticeable increase in the frequency with which they target environmentally conscious consumers. Green marketing, as a multifaceted approach, involves the creation and promotion of goods and services that not only cater to consumer demands for reliability, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and convenience but also ensure a minimal negative impact on the environment. This paradigm shift reflects a broader trend wherein businesses are adapting to consumer preferences and values related to sustainability and environmental responsibility. In this evolving landscape, the intertwining of business strategies with environmental consciousness underscores the crucial role of green marketing in shaping the future trajectory of commerce.

Nephrotoxicity or renal injury is triggered due to the accumulation of drug levels in the
kidneys causing oxidative stress. Albumin and omega-3 are known to repair and protect
against tissue damage by free radicals due to oxidative stress. Snakehead fish (Channa
striata) is a natural resource that is rich in albumin and omega-3. This study aimed to
determine the nephroprotective activity of snakehead fish powder (SFP) in Wistar rats
induced by gentamicin. This study used thirty male rats divided into six groups. Test
animals were divided into normal control (not treated); positive control (omega-3 270 mg/
kg of rat); negative control (CMC Na 0.25%); dose I (350 mg/kg SFP); dose II (700 mg/
kg SFP) and dose III (1400 mg/kg SFP). All groups were induced with 100 mg/kg
gentamicin intraperitoneally except for normal control. The treatment was carried out for
14 days. Rats fasted for 24 hrs after the treatment on the last day. The blood test animals
were taken to measure creatinine, urea and albumin levels, then sacrificed, and their
kidneys were taken for analysis of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels.
The data obtained were statistically tested using the one-way ANOVA method and
continued with post hoc LSD. The results showed the effect of SFP on the decrease in
creatinine, urea, MDA, and GSH levels starting from the smallest dose of 350 mg/kg
significantly compared with the negative control in gentamicin-induced Wistar rats. A
higher dose of SFP can provide better nephroprotective activity. In conclusion, SFP has
nephroprotective activity by suppressing oxidative stress in Wistar rats.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of personality on team effectiveness. A person's personality is a resource that can influence their thoughts and actions. Personality is important in a work environment that requires collective action to ensure that each member moves towards the desired goal. The light triad personality is emphasised in this study because it forms a balanced individual who can complement one another and is ethical in task execution. The light triad personality, which includes Kantianism, humanism, and faith in humanity, is the focus in the construction sector to ensure that the project can be implemented successfully based on the timeliness and resources available. Survey questions adapted from previous studies were distributed to employees in a construction company using a simple random sampling method to investigate the relationship between variables. Cronbach alpha values and correlation results show that the instruments are trustworthy and valid. Furthermore, the normality test indicates that the data is normally distributed and allows for the testing of hypotheses. The findings show a link between humanism and faith in humanity personalities and team effectiveness. While Kantianism suggests a negligible relationship with team effectiveness. According to the findings of this study, the company can strengthen the development of light triad personalities as the personalities associated with team effectiveness, and future research may take a multidimensional approach to factors important for team effectiveness.

Döblins Verlobung mit Felicitas Chmatalik 1903
Authors: Althen Christina
Published: March 2024

Standesamtliche Unterlagen belegen eine bislang unbekannte Verlobung Alfred Döblins mit Felicitas Chmatalik aus Berlin, die im Herbst 1903 ein Kind erwartete. Als Beruf gab Döblin Schriftsteller an, was er in dieser Zeit sonst nicht tat. Die Verbindung mit der Sängerfamilie Chmatalik-Mertini fällt zeitlich zusammen mit ersten Notizen Döblins zur Musikästhetik, besonders zum Stellenwert des Gesangs. Der Fund ermöglicht Aufklärungen zum biographischen Kontext der Novelle Die Ermordung einer Butterblume und anderer Erzählungen aus Döblins Freiburger Zeit. Als das Kind starb, wurde die Verlobung gelöst, was wohl auch mit Rücksicht auf Döblins Mutter geschah.

Selain itu terdapat juga pemaparan secara ringkas mengenai biografi pengarang dan profil kitab Tafsir Jalalain. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah library research (kajian kepustakaan). Sumber data dari artikel ini berasal dari Kitab Tafsir Jalalain itu sendiri disertai dengan kitab-kitab tafsir lain, dan buku atau sumber yang masih terkait dengan pokok pembahasan. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat diketahui bahwa penulisan kitab Tafsir Jalalain ini dilakukan oleh dua orang, yakni Al-Mahalli yang menuliskan tafsirnya dari awal surah al-Kahfi sampai akhir al-Qur’an dan surah al-Fatihah. Setelah Al-Mahalli wafat, penulisan kitab ini diselesaikan oleh Asy-Syuyuthi yang merupakan murid  dari Al-Mahalli. Keunggulan dari kitab tafsir ini terletak pada bahasanya yang  ringan, uraiannya yang singkat dan jelas, serta pandangan di dalamnya sesuai dengan ajaran yang dianut oleh orang-orang Melayu, yakni fiqih madzhab Syafi’i dan teologinya Asy-‘ariyyah. Tafsir Jalalain menafsirkan QS. Al-Aḥzab ayat 32 bahwasannya muslimah dilarang untuk tunduk dalam berbicara kepada laki-laki agar terhindar dari perbuatan tercela. Dalam artikel ini, pokok pembahasannya lebih fokus kepada Tafsir Jalalain. Hal inilah yang membedakan penelitian ini dengan penelitian sebelumnya.
