Проведен сравнительный анализ бухгалтерского и налогового законодтель – ства с целью расчета прибыли и учета отложенного налогообложения. Установлено, что наличие разных правил, налоговых преференций объективно является причиной возникновения «пробелов» между указанными системами учета, когда одни и те же факты хозяйственной жизни по-разному влияют на итоговый финансовый результат. Это приводит к тому, что прибыль, как разница между доходами и расходами, делится на: прибыль бухгалтерскую; прибыль налоговую. Проведен сравнительный анализ законодательно-нормативного регулирования бухгалтерского и налогового учета договора строительного подряда, на основе ранее опубликованной статьи автора. При этом отмечено, что важную роль в снижении налоговых рисков при реализации договорных отношений играет утверждение в учетной политике налогоплательщика применяемого метода распределение доходов и расходов.

Authors: Jiménez-Millán Azahara , Buenestado-Fernández Mariana
Published: July 2023

Even though the political agenda makes explicit the importance of generating processes for attention to diversity and the inclusion of the LGBTIQ community in the university community, there are few models of teacher training aimed at university professors as one of the main ones responsible for developing practices educational institutions that fight against exclusion and discrimination. For this reason, in the first place, an investigation of the training offered on LGBTIQ diversity in the teacher training programs of Spanish universities is carried out in which the incipient state of institutionalization of this as a strategic line is evidenced. Next, a teacher training model is proposed based on evidence from scientific literature. Finally, faced with the traditional dissemination of scientific knowledge in educational sciences, this chapter proposes as a novelty a training model that can influence and be transferable to university policy and practice.
Suitability and Relevance of the Fair Value Measurement Under IFRS 13 Vs Historical Cost: Application to the Lebanese Banking Sector
Authors: Feghali K. A. , Jreije R. M. , Bahnan N.
Published: July 2023

The aim of this research is to discover the opinions of the Lebanese banks regarding the relevance of the fair value method. Furthermore, this study will provide an additional insight into the suitability of the fair value measurement in a developing economy like that of Lebanon, and in an absence of an active financial market. For the benefit of this deductive research, a quantitative methodology was solely employed. Using a questionnaire of 14 questions measured with a Likert Scale (pre-coded questions), and a sample of 61 Lebanese Banks, the data was collected through a combination of some self-administered surveys, and some in person questionnaire-style interviews. The collected data was subjected to statistical tests using SPSS software. The main results showed that Lebanese banks consider the fair value measurement under IFRS 13 relevant compared to the traditional historical cost method. Nevertheless, the relevance of fair value in times of financial turbulence differs from its relevance in times of financial stability. Bearing in mind the limitedness of research on this topic in Lebanon, this paper offers a significant contribution to the field. Upcoming studies will build on this analysis with the help of a larger sample. In addition, Lebanese banks will become more aware about the importance of the switch to the fair value method compared to the historical cost, and will seek to enhance their maturity level in this vein and to imitate international banks’ financial disclosures.
Securing Companies in Specific Cases of Real Estate Acquisition
Authors: Stokłosa Angelina
Published: July 2023

The article presents the fundamental principles of purchasing real estate by capital companies as part of business transactions (based on civil law contracts) and the purchase of real estate by a capital company from a member of its management board. The acquisition of immovable property by a capital company is indisputably one of the relevant events for every company, so in principle, it requires, to be valid, a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders of the company and, therefore, a resolution of the company’s ‘ownership’ body, which is competent to decide on the most important matters for the capital company, unless the articles of association or articles of association expressly provide otherwise. In each case of purchasing real estate by a company, it should be recommended first to conduct a survey of the condition of the property and prepare a due diligence report regarding the property, which will allow showing the real image of the property to the shareholders of the company but will also be an expression of due diligence duty by the management board of the company purchasing the property.

Madagascar est un pays riche en ressources minières. Les grandes sociétés sont les plus avantageuses à l’exploitation de ces gisements car elles ont les moyens les plus performants pour l’extraire. Pour le cas des ressources aurifères, les petits exploitants sont nombreux mais leur technique d’extraction est encore traditionnelle comme la bâtée qui est une méthode fatigante, hasardeuse et à faible rendement. Par contre, le bio indicateur aurifère, une nouvelle technique pratiquée par plusieurs pays et développée dans le cadre de ce travail de recherches est simple, facile à employer et avantageuse surtout pour déterminer et localiser rapidement le gisement aurifère. Tout le monde peut l’appliquer. La maîtrise de cette technologie permettra d’améliorer les conditions de vie de la population et par ricochet au développement local et évidemment dans pays tout entier.C’est grâce à cette recherche qu’on a pu mettre en évidence l’effet aurifère sur le bananier plantain, l’avocatier et la tige de riz d’une rizière dénommée : Botely. La croissance du bananier, de l’avocatier et de la tige de riz est handicapée par l’effet de l’or dans l’échantillon de sol et ces végétaux ne peuvent plus pousser normalement et n’a pas donné de fruit sous l’effet de l’or dans le sol. Ce qui a permis de considérer ces trois végétaux à grain comme bios indicateurs aurifères dans le fokontany d’Ambohitsara de la commune d’Ikianjavato.  cinq éléments chimiques accompagnent toujours l’or, ce sont : l’arsenic, le sélénium, l’antimoine, l’argent et le  tellure. Le résultat d’analyse de l’échantillon de sol importé de la zone d’étude, c’est à dire sol pris au pied respectif du bananier plantain, de l’avocatier mort et dans la rizière Botely a prouvé l’existence de ces cinq éléments. Un autre essai d’expérimentation effectué au laboratoire du CNRIT sur les sols importés de la zone d’étude a prouvé que : le sol aurifère pris au pied du bananier nain contient de l’or et cet or contenu dans ce sol pénètre dans le bananier à travers ses racines pour retarder non seulement la croissance de la plante, mais aussi virer la couleur verte des feuilles de la plante en couleur jaune. Par rapport à un bananier témoin, celui qui a poussé avec le sol aurifère présente la caractéristique suivante après un an et demi de plantation : hauteur très petite (25 cm), largeur de feuille variant entre 10 et 11 cm, nombre de talles (6 au total, dont 3 petites et 3 grandes), diamètre tronc : 7 cm. En bref, le rapport entre le bananier témoin et celui qui a subi le test est presque triplé pour le cas du diamètre tronc et  la largeur et longueur des feuilles. En ce qui concerne la hauteur des deux plantes, le témoin est 15 fois plus grand par rapport à l’autre.

Published: July 2023

This research is motivated by the traffic congestion problem in Indonesia, specifically in Jakarta. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the population of Jakarta as of September 2021 is estimated to be 10.61 million people per year. This is an increase of 0.45% compared to the previous year, which had a population of 10.56 million. Road users in Jakarta are divided into four types of motor vehicles: passenger cars, buses, trucks, and motorcycles. According to data collected by the BPS, there are 21.7 million vehicles in Jakarta. Referring to previous research titled "The Potential of Using Airships to Support Development in an Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Manner" (Subagyo, 2011), the authors aim to explore the potential of using airships as a solution to mass transportation congestion. Currently, researchers are looking for solutions to the congestion in Jakarta. In this paper, the authors aim to contribute to finding the best solution to the current problem by providing input on the use of air accommodation using balloons. Specifically, the authors are using the Airlander 10 type balloon being developed in Hamburg. In order to achieve this goal, this research aims to conduct an analysis of the aerodynamics of the platform design using computational fluid dynamics. In order to achieve this goal, this research uses a quantitative method as a calculation of the aerodynamics of the airship combined with the Parent Design Approach method. This approach produces the characteristics of the airship currently in operation. Therefore, the authors would like to present this research to the city of Jakarta as an alternative solution to the traffic congestion problem itself.

Forecasting Models: An Economic and Environmental Applications
Authors: Udhaya P.
Published: July 2023

Forecasting plays a critical role in the development of organizational business strategies. Despite a considerable body of research in the area of forecasting, the focus has largely been on the financial and economic outcomes of the forecasting process as opposed to societal benefits. Our motivation in this study is to promote the latter, with a view to using the forecasting process to advance social and environmental objectives such as equality, social justice and sustainability. We refer to such forecasting practices as Forecasting for Social Good (FSG) where the benefits to society and the environment take precedenceover economic and financial outcomes. We conceptualize FSG and discuss its scope and boundaries in the context of the “Doughnut theory”. We present some key attributes that qualify a forecasting process as FSG: it is concerned with a real problem, it is focused on advancing social and environmental goals and prioritizes these over conventional measures of economic success, and it has a broad societal impact. We also position FSG in the wider literature on forecasting and social good practices. We propose an FSG maturity framework as the means to engage academics and practitioners with research in this area.

NEED FOR STRESS DETECTION AMONG ADOLESCENTS
Authors: Rappai Sherin
Published: July 2023

Adolescence can be a trying period for kids, family, and everyone else who interacts with them. India's school children experience higher levels of stress and deliberate self-harm. Suicidal thoughts are frequent, especially in stressful situations or when people are struggling with their bodily or mental health. Many studies conducted in past have proved that stress and suicide are closely related among adolescents. An increasing body of research indicates that responses to stressful life events, such as obsessions and compulsions, physiological distress, and cognitive control (i.e., stress-related symptoms), may raise the risk of considering suicide as well as making an attempt. Identifying adolescents who are at risk of suicide is the first step in successful suicide prevention. The objective of the research is to monitor students' health and behavior i.e students having moderate to severe stress, in order to spot individuals who might contemplate suicide. 262 teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 who were chosen from various schools in the Bangalore-Urban area participated in a cross-sectional survey. Through careful analysis, we were able to establish that the majority of the survey's sample population had moderate to severe levels of stress, which may be one of the main causes of suicide ideation. Key Words: Stress, Suicide thoughts, Moderate Stress, High Stress, Suicide ideation, Adolescents.

Accounting is a global language, yet it varies from society to society. This explains the inevitability of accounting practice convergence and harmonization. The success of organizations has a lot to do with the efficiency of their human resource. Human resource is becoming more valuable to businesses than ever before. Human Resource Accounting is a recent controversial issue in accounting field; this concept is not new in accounting. However, it involves accounting for expenditure related to human asset in an organisation as opposed to traditional accounting which merely expense these costs and reduces profit which to our mind sub-optimise financial reporting.Human Resource Accounting is a recent controversial issue in accounting field, this concept is not new in accounting. Human resource Accounting (HRA) involves accounting for expenditure related to human asset in an organisation as opposed to traditional accounting which merely expenses these costs and reduces profit which to our mind sub-optimises financial reporting. The study therefore explored the relationship between international financial reporting standard and human resource accounting. The study used the exploratory method, as various literatures which relates to the subject matters IFRS and Human resource accounting were review to establish a connection between International Financial Reporting Standards and Human Resource Accounting. The study found out from the several literatures reviewed that currently, there is no specific International Financial Reporting Standard that deals with human resources. The study concluded that human resources accounting provides information on human resources to the company and other users of accounting information. Furthermore, some unethical issues that impact negatively on the accuracy of financial reporting might be resolved by human resource accounting

Published: July 2023

A 0.38C steel with 1.97Mn, 1.34Si, 0.8Cr and 0.29Mo (wt. %) bainitic steel melted in a lab scale induction furnace was hot forged and subjected to annealing, austenitizing above Ac3 temperature and in the inter critical temperature range were normalized or austempered in the temperature between 350 to 500 oC to get a versatile range of microstructure with bainite as a major phase. In the annealed condition the steel showed acicular ferrite with pearlite and in the normalized condition from above Ac3 temperature, bainitic ferrite with 7% retained austenite. When the steel is continuously cooled post intercritical austenitization treatment, the microstructure showed ferrite, bainite and pearlite. Austenitization above Ac3, followed by austempering at different temperatures resulted in carbide free bainitic microstructure consisting of bainitic ferrite and austenite between 7 and 16%. Austenitization in the inter critical temperature followed by austempering at different temperatures showed ferrite, banitic carbide and pearlite.

Published: July 2023

Moderation is the basic character of Islamic religious teachings that make them adaptable to the context of the times. However, the rise of acts of terrorism and violence in Indonesia is concrete evidence of how low the understanding and appreciation of Islamic moderation values is. For this reason, the presence of educational institutions which are capable to transform and internalize moderate values to young generations’ personalities is required. In this case, Islamic boarding-schools (commonly known as pesantren in Indonesia) are considered to have more credits compared to ordinary Islamic schools (madrasa) or non-boarding schools alike. This study is library research analyzing the role of pesantren in instilling moderate characters to their students through education in the mission of realizing moderate religiosity in Indonesian community. The findings show that dissemination and internalization of Islamic teaching values during the education process which are coupled with good examples practiced by figures of eductors in pesantrens become the most effective way in spreading the moderate values and practices of Islamic teachings.

Podaci imaju ključnu ulogu u radu digitalnih platformi i obezbeđuju njihovo dobro funkcionisanje, zbog čega digitalne platforme prikupljaju potrebne podatke već u momentu registracije radnika na platformi. To vodi informacionoj asimetriji i nejednakosti, što dodatno otežava položaj platformskih radnika koji, za razliku od digitalne platforme, raspolažu minimumom informacija. Naime, digitalne platforme uskraćuju radnicima informacije o korisnicima njihovog rada, broju i vrsti radnih zadataka koje treba da izvrše, iskustvima klijenata na osnovu kojih su donete odluke o negativnim poenima i diskonekciji radnika sa platforme.

The potential of field margin pesticidal plants on bean production and ecosystem services in Arusha, Tanzania
Authors:   , Mringi Silvanus Evarist
Published: July 2023

An experiment was undertaken in NM-AIST farms in Arusha Tanzania from January to July 2017 to assess the potential of pesticidal plants on supporting the beneficial insects, controlling pests’ and influencing bean growth and yield. Six treatments were evaluated. This included: bean plots imposed close to the following field margin pesticidal plants: 1) Tephrosia vogelii, 2) Lantana camara, 3) Tithonia diversifolia and 4) Lantana trifolia 5) positive control treatments sprayed with synthetic pesticide, Lambda-Cyhalothrin, and 6) negative control, in which nothing was added. Pan traps were used to assess the abundance of both beneficial and pest insects. Growth and yield parameters were measured. The results showed a significant (P ≤ 0.05) effect of pesticidal plants on pest control and attraction of beneficial insects. The effect on growth parameters showed a numerical difference but statistically, it was not significant. The grain yield increased with increased distance of bean row from pesticidal plants. The yield from bean rows at the distance of 50 cm from pesticidal plants were relatively less compared with the grain yields from bean rows planted at 100 cm and 150 cm respectively. Hence, proper management of pesticidal plants in bean field has a great potential of increasing crop yield with the possibly minimum inputs, thus calling for further research on possible plants that can provide significant impacts in crop production systems.

Published: July 2023

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the possibility of characterizing an extra-articular thickening in the knee anteromedial quadrant in routine MRI scans.

Materials and methods

Firstly, in a pilot study, for a better understanding of this extra-articular thickening trajectory in MRI, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubes were attached to the ligament structure topography in two dissected pieces. Afterward, 100 knee MRI studies were randomly selected from our database, and 97 met the inclusion criteria. Two musculoskeletal radiologists interpreted the exams separately. Both had previously studied the ligament in the cadaveric knee MRI with the PTFE tube.

Results

The intraobserver and interobserver agreement for the ligament identification was calculated using Cohen’s Kappa coefficient. The first radiologist identified the structure in 41 of the 97 scans (42.2%), and the second radiologist in 38 scans (39.2%). The interobserver agreement was substantial, with a Kappa of 0.68 and an agreement of 84.5%. The results suggest that this extra-articular thickening, recently called Anterior Oblique Ligament (AOL) in the literature, is a structure that can be frequently visualized on MRI scans with a high level of interobserver agreement in a relatively large number of exams.

Conclusion

Therefore, this study indicates that MRI is a promising method for evaluating this anteromedial thickening, and it may be used for future studies of the Anterior Oblique Ligament.
Quantum computing Floquet energy spectra
Authors: Fauseweh Benedikt , Zhu Jian-Xin
Published: July 2023

Quantum systems can be dynamically controlled using time-periodic external fields, leading to the concept of Floquet engineering, with promising technological applications. Computing Floquet energy spectra is harder than only computing ground state properties or single time-dependent trajectories, and scales exponentially with the Hilbert space dimension. Especially for strongly correlated systems in the low frequency limit, classical approaches based on truncation break down. Here, we present two quantum algorithms to determine effective Floquet modes and energy spectra. We combine the defining properties of Floquet modes in time and frequency domains with the expressiveness of parametrized quantum circuits to overcome the limitations of classical approaches. We benchmark our algorithms and provide an analysis of the key properties relevant for near-term quantum hardware.
Recent Advances in Multicomponent Electro‐Organic (Electrochemical) Synthesis of Heterocycles
Authors: Imeni Sahar , Makarem Ata , Javahershenas Ramin
Published: July 2023

In terms of pharmaceuticals and biological applications, synthesis of complex organic molecules is a significant and fast‐developing area. In this context, organic electrosynthesis is an alternative way to the traditional methods for chemo‐, regio‐, and stereoselective syntheses. Electro‐organic reactions occur at room temperature and normal pressure, through transferring electrons. It has been found that electrosynthesis is a mild approach for preparing electrophilic substrates, bases, and nucleophiles in situ, from highly stable and low‐level reagents; which can be further applied to make heterocycles more accessible. While several promising methods exist, multi‐component reactions (MCRs) have drawn much attention both in academia and industry worldwide, since they are cost‐efficient and environmentally friendly. Combining the electrosynthesis and MCRs has produced a great strategy in the field of organic synthesis for industry and research. This review focuses on recent advances in the electrochemical synthesis of heterocyclic compounds via multi‐component reactions, reported between 2015 and March 2023.

Polyether sulfone hollow fiber membrane was prepared via nonsolvent‐induced phase separation process using dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as a solvent, Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP‐K30) and water as additives. The mechanism of air gap environment in the membrane structure formation was studied. The scanning electron microscope microstructure morphology revealed that the air gap environment induced the microstructure formation of membranes. The low humidity air gap environment was not conducive to the surface pore formation and hard to obtain surface pores until lowering the dope solution temperature. The high humidity can easily induce the formation of large out surface pore structure along with the decreases of the surface pore uniformity. As air gap humidity and distance increased, the membrane cross section structure near the outer surface tends to be looser and that near the inner surface became denser, while the proportion of finger‐like pores in the cross section initially increased and stabilized. At 100 RH, the average outer surface pore size increased from 0.192 μm at an air gap distance of 20 cm to 0.351 μm at 50 cm, the corresponding pore density decreased from 2.66 to 1.13 pores/μm2, and the percentage of the inner skin layer thickness increased from 3.26% to 7.69%.
How to Develop Useful Models for Solid‐State Batteries – A Plea for Simplicity and Interdisciplinary Cooperation
Authors: Bielefeld Anja
Published: July 2023

With research on solid‐state batteries being on the rise, also simulations and modeling studies become more and more popular. It is therefore time to reflect upon the interplay of experiments and simulations and the upcoming dilemma of drawing general conclusions from increasingly complex model approaches that naturally go along with advancements and insights in the research field. Albeit this perspective focuses on (microstructure) models for composite cathodes, it is also an invitation to contemplate the epistemological considerations and the proposed tentative agenda on how to build useful models for other sub‐fields of the solid‐state research community.

In several previously published studies, Lavine and coworkers have demonstrated that infrared (IR) spectra from all layers of an intact multilayered automotive paint chip can be collected in a single analysis by scanning across each layer of a cross sectioned paint chip using a Fourier transform IR imaging microscope. Applying alternating least squares to the spectral data, the IR spectrum of each layer of an original equipment manufacturer paint chip can be extracted from a line map of the spectral image. To further develop this imaging technique for automotive paint analysis, the capability to cross section “small” paint chips (1 mm or less) using an ultramicrotome has been incorporated into our current imaging methodology. An ultramicrotome does not require epoxy or other embedding media for the paint chip and will simplify the analysis. However, extracting the IR spectra for each layer of an original equipment manufacturer paint chip by alternating least squares can be problematic for thin peels (less than one micron thickness), necessitating the use of target testing factor analysis to determine whether a specific layer is present in the line map and modified alternating least squares to recover the IR spectrum of the layer. Using a new sample preparation technique and the appropriate multivariate curve resolution methods, high quality IR spectra of the layers of a modern automotive paint system can be obtained from paint fragments that are smaller than what is practical to analyze by conventional Fourier transform IR spectroscopy.

Host–pathogen dynamics are influenced by many factors that vary locally, but models of disease rarely consider dynamics across spatially heterogeneous environments. In addition, theory predicts that dispersal will influence host–pathogen dynamics of populations that are linked, although this has not been examined empirically in natural systems. We examined the spatial dynamics of a patchy population of tiger moths and its baculovirus pathogen, in which habitat type and weather influence dynamics. Theoretical models of host–baculovirus dynamics predict that such variation in dynamics between habitat types could be driven by a range of factors, of which we predict two are likely to be operating in this system: (1) differences in the environmental persistence of pathogens or (2) differences in host intrinsic rates of increase. We used time series models and monitored infection rates of hosts to characterize population and disease dynamics and distinguish between these possibilities. We also examined the role of host dispersal (connectivity) and weather as important contributors to dynamics, using time series models and experiments. We found that the population growth rate was higher, delayed density dependence was weaker, and long‐period oscillations had lower amplitudes in high‐quality habitat patches. The infection rate was higher on average in high‐quality habitat, and this was likely to have been driven by higher mean population densities and no differences in pathogen persistence in different habitats (delayed density dependence). Time series modeling and experiments also showed an interactive effect of temperature and precipitation on moth population growth rates (likely caused by variation in host plant quality and quantity), and an effect of connectivity. Our results showed that spatial heterogeneity, connectivity, climate, and their interactions were important in driving host–baculovirus dynamics. In particular, our study found that connected patches and spatial heterogeneity generated differences in dynamics that only partially aligned with theoretical predictions.

Published: July 2023

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid decline in renal function, and is associated with a high risk of death. Many pathological changes happen in the process of AKI, including crucial alterations to oxidative stress levels. Numerous efforts have thus been made to develop effective medicines to scavenge excess reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, researchers have encountered several significant challenges, including unspecific biodistribution, high biotoxicity, and in vivo instability. To address these problems, engineered nanoparticles have been developed to target oxidative stress and treat AKI. This review thoroughly discusses the methods that empower nanodrugs to specifically target the glomerular filtration barrier and presents the latest achievements in engineering novel ROS‐scavenging nanodrugs in clustered sections. The analysis of each study's breakthroughs and imperfections visualizes the progress made in developing effective nanodrugs with specific biodistribution and oxidative stress‐targeting capabilities. This review fills the blank of a comprehensive outline over current progress in applying nanotechnology to treat AKI, providing potential insights for further research.
Alive but not well: The neglected cost of air pollution
Authors: Luan Mengna , Tao Zhigang , Yuan Hongjie
Published: July 2023

Besides medical expenses, hospitalizations associated with air pollution will incur the welfare loss due to activity restrictions and the wage loss due to inability to work. We fill in the gap in the literature by examining the impact of air pollution on volume and intensity of hospitalizations, which allows us to incorporate the welfare loss and the wage loss. Using a data set that covers most of the inpatients in a major Chinese city during 2015‐16, we find that worse air quality causes more hospital admissions, more total inpatient days, and higher total inpatient expenditure for various diseases, particularly diseases of the respiratory and circulatory systems. We also find that there would be an underestimate of the loss from air pollution if we had ignored the loss associated with activity restrictions and the wage loss during hospitalization.

Coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering‐Raman optical activity (CARS‐ROA) is a coherent version of spontaneous ROA spectroscopy, the latter being a well‐established chirally sensitive vibrational spectroscopic technique. A central major advantage of heterodyne‐detected CARS‐ROA over ROA is the drastic reduction of acquisition times from several hours to approximately 1 min due to the high ratio of the chiral Raman signal relative to the achiral CARS background. Here, we present the first demonstration of heterodyne‐detected CARS‐ROA of chiral molecules dissolved in an achiral solvent by using an experimental setup built from a conventional broadband CARS spectrometer. Specifically, the two atropisomers (R/S) of 2,2′‐Bis(methoxymethoxy)‐1,1′‐binaphthyl, a methoxymethyl (MOM) bis‐protected derivative of 1,1′‐Bi‐2‐naphthol (BINOL), dissolved in the achiral organic solvent dichloromethane (DCM) were characterized by employing ~1 ps, 1 mW of pump pulses and ~60 fs, 10 mW of Stokes pulses within approximately 4‐min acquisition time. MOM‐BINOL is an important precursor for the synthesis of a great variety of many chiral auxiliaries including binaphthyl phosphoric acids, which are an important class of chiral organocatalysts used in asymmetric reactions. Overall, this work is a first step toward kinetic reaction monitoring in organocatalysis by coherent ROA providing the necessary short acquisition times.
Dynamically adaptive scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering

Published: July 2023

Although cartilage regeneration is a continuously changing, complex process, most studies on cartilage tissue regeneration have focused on specific stages, thereby promoting regeneration in only a limited period rather than over the entire repair process. The ideal adaptive scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering should exhibit dynamic and spatiotemporally controlled evolution according to the physiological microenvironments during each phase of cartilage repair. Moreover, scaffolds should have a specific feedback regulation capability, including long‐term feedback for the controlled delivery of multiple factors, which would better meet the requirements of cartilage regeneration. Adaptive scaffolds matching the whole evolving stages of cartilage repair are still under exploration. This review highlights the development of dynamically adaptive scaffolds to provide the appropriate microenvironments for cartilage regeneration, including scaffolds that manipulate the immune microenvironments from the inflammation stage to the regeneration stage, scaffolds that release cytokines on demand across several stages, and scaffolds that adapt according to the mechanical properties of extracellular matrices over time, and also discusses the future challenges and development directions of adaptive scaffolds in cartilage tissue regeneration. This understanding is expected to inspire the application of adaptive scaffolds for cartilage repair.

Melt crystallization of isotactic Polypropylene (PP) on open platform during 3D processing is critical and often challenging. Numerous factors that influence the melt extrusion of PP directly influence its crystallization and hence impact the physico‐mechanical properties of the printed parts. The present article represents a detailed investigation of the influence of 3D processing parameters on tensile and shrinkage properties of PP subject to respective melt‐crystallization behaviors. Moreover, the article also demonstrated the best experimental conditions that can produce mechanically stronger parts (even stronger than compression molded specimens used for comparison) with minimum warping. Influence of print temperature, bed temperature, print layer thickness (when the layer thickness varies by a margin of four folds), print orientation (horizontal or vertical), and infill rates was found to be highly sensitive towards melt crystallization of the PP dumbbell (which was printed as a product) hence brought about the highest variation in tensile and shrinkage properties. A print head temperature of above 220°C and a bed temperature of 60°C produced stronger dumbbells when printed with a higher layer thickness (0.20 mm/0.25 mm) in horizontal conditions with a 100% infill rate. Such specimens possessed higher tensile strength, and elongation at break values than the compression molded sample.
