Examining the Psychometric Properties of the Mayer-Salovey Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test Findings From an Eastern European Culture
Authors: Iliescu Dragos , Ilie Alexandra , Ispas Dan , Ion Andrei
Published: April 2020

Based on four samples and more than 2,000 participants, the authors examined the structural equivalence, discriminant validity as well as criterion and incremental validity of the Romanian version of the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), an ability-based measure of emotional intelligence. Results suggest that the Romanian version of the MSCEIT has a very good structural equivalence and good discriminant validity compared with measures of cognitive ability, personality (Big Five), and empathy. Also, the Romanian MSCEIT has incremental validity over personality when predicting job performance. Based on these results, the authors encourage usage of the MSCEIT as a sound measure of emotional intelligence.

A better earth is possible with cooperative advantage model for nature and humanity well being as I introduced in my prior study. I now move to make an inquiry of the economic science. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences call economics as economic science then what is science? The Quarterly Journal of Economics, as the oldest professional journal of economics, by Oxford Academic of Oxford University, Journal is Edited at Harvard University’s Department of Economics, has introduced Religion & Economics Collection with an introduction starts with three questions; 1. Does Religion affect economic growth and happiness? 2. How do societies form moral systems? 3. Do Catholic schools make a difference? Starting with this collection questions; this study make an inquiry to “re-sources in economics from the management science”.

Published: April 2020

The issue of security is one of the important aspects of an information system. However, this security problem is often not getting the attention of the owners and managers of information systems. Cryptography has a large role in the world of data security. With the knowledge that studies how to keep data confidential, it is expected to create a sense of security for anyone who wants to keep and keep their data confidential. This built application can encrypt files (plaintext) in the form of text. Encryption is done by using certain keys, so that it produces ciphertext (encrypted or encrypted files) that cannot be read or understood. The ciphertext can be returned to normal if decrypted using the same key when encrypting the file. The software used for the User-System Interface is Netbeans 8.2. File security system is a system that is needed for every institution or organization, so the existence of a file security system is important to protect an important text so that the data is protected from unauthorized parties. In making this cryptographic application, the method used is Vigenere Cipher.
What we count dictates how we count: A tale of two encodings
Authors: Gros Hippolyte , Thibaut Jean- Pierre , Sander Emmanuel
Published: April 2020

We argue that what we count has a crucial impact on how we count, to the extent that even adults may have difficulty using elementary mathematical notions in concrete situations. Specifically, we investigate how the use of certain types of quantities (durations, heights, number of floors) may emphasize the ordinality of the numbers featured in a problem, whereas other quantities (collections, weights, prices) may emphasize the cardinality of the depicted numerical situations. We suggest that this distinction leads to the construction of one of two possible encodings, either a cardinal or an ordinal representation. This difference should, in turn, constrain the way we approach problems, influencing our mathematical reasoning in multiple activities. This hypothesis is tested in six experiments (N = 916), using different versions of multiple-strategy arithmetic word problems. We show that the distinction between cardinal and ordinal quantities predicts problem sorting (Experiment 1), perception of similarity between problems (Experiment 2), direct problem comparison (Experiment 3), choice of a solving algorithm (Experiment 4), problem solvability estimation (Experiment 5) and solution validity assessment (Experiment 6). The results provide converging clues shedding light into the fundamental importance of the cardinal versus ordinal distinction on adults’ reasoning about numerical situations. Overall, we report multiple evidence that general, non-mathematical knowledge associated with the use of different quantities shapes adults’ encoding, recoding and solving of mathematical word problems. The implications regarding mathematical cognition and theories of arithmetic problem solving are discussed.
Assessing Personality States: What to Consider when Constructing Personality State Measures
Authors: Horstmann Kai Tobias , Ziegler Matthias
Published: April 2020

Repeated assessments of personality states in daily diary or experience sampling studies have become a more and more common tool in the psychologist’s toolbox. However, and contrary to the widely available literature on personality traits, no best practices for the development of personality state measures exist, and personality state measures have been developed in many different ways. To address this, we first define what a personality state is and discuss important components. Based on this, we define what a personality state measure is and suggest a general guideline for the development of such measures. Following the ABC of test construction can then guide the strategy for obtaining validity and reliability evidence: (A) What is the construct being measured? (B) What is the intended purpose of the measure? And (C) What is the targeted population of persons and situations? We then conclude with an example by developing an initial item pool for the assessment of conscientiousness personality states.
Bildung, Negative Exceptionalism, and the End of Genealogy in Robert Walser’s Jakob von Gunten
Authors: Fuchs Anne
Published: April 2020

Focusing on the servant, this article analyzes figurations of disobedience in Robert Walser’s novel Jakob von Gunten (1909) in dialogue with formal genre conventions. Jakob von Gunten: Ein Tagebuch presents itself as the diary of the eponymous protagonist who, at the beginning of the twentieth century, enters a school for servants in Berlin to break with his aristocratic lineage. In contrast to the narrative arc of the Bildungsroman and Entwicklungsroman that envisages self-realization through progressive education, the novel abandons teleological emplotment in favour of the performance of servility. Rather than embracing the Enlightenment program of self-realization through learning and experience, Jakob overtly champions a downward career in defiance of both his aristocratic origins and developmental progress. However, this article demonstrates that, in the context of modernity, his role play as a quasi-feudal servant stages negative exceptionalism as a new form of perfection: Jakob wants to turn into “eine reizende kugelrunde Null” precisely because this zero position without value generates absolute agency. The analysis of the formal features of Jakob’s diary entries complements the thematic exploration of his escapades, dreams, and fantasies, which often stage an aggrandized and omnipotent alter ego. In so doing, I show that the performance of disobedience in Walser’s novel articulates an exclusive and elusive subjectivity.
Music and Dopamine – Potential in Movement Disorders
Authors: Kawahata Ichiro , Kawahata Ichiro , Hasegawa Kazuko , Kase Ruriko
Published: April 2020

Most people have been deriving pleasure from music since long ago. Music is deeply associated with human
communication and language. Music had also been popular as therapy in early history. How can we feel
happiness or sadness when we listen to music? Scientifically, the dorsal and ventral striatum release
dopamine when listening to pleasurable music. The activity in these structures is known to associate with
the reward system of the human brain. Moreover, the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system regulates our motor
function, and this is the very part that is damaged in the movement disorders. In this article, we review the
potent role of music from the viewpoint of the dopaminergic system. We also describe the molecular
mechanism of the dopaminergic pathogenesis and suggest the potent ability of music for the therapy of
Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders.
„Poznaj samego siebie” w interpretacji Bazylego Wielkiego
Authors: Osek Ewa
Published: April 2020

There are some references to the famous Delphic inscription „Know thyself” (gnothi sauton) in the Hexaemeron (IX 6; VI 1) and the Homilia in illud: Attende tibi ipsi by St. Basil of Caesarea. In the Homilia in illud: Attende tibi ipsi St. Basil accepts the Philo’s and Clement of Alexandria’s opinion that the Septuagint proseche seauto („Attend to yourself”) and the Hellenie gnothi sauton („Know thyself”) are the same. According to St. Basil, influenced by the Alcibiades I, „yourself” means „a soul” as an opposite to a body and its environment. St. Basil interprets the Delphic maxim in the following meanings: (1) „Turn to yourself”, (2) „Know God from yourself”, (3) „Take care of your soul”, (4) „Control yourself”, and (5) „Remember you are a human”. His interpretation is influenced by the many philosophical writings, especially the Platonie dialogues (the Charmides, the Alcibiades I), the Stromata of Clement of Alexandria, and the Origen’s In Canticum canticorum.
Eschatologiczna nagroda w pismach Tertuliana
Authors: Wysocki Marcin
Published: April 2020

Tertullian (ca. 155-225) very often is described as a rigorist, who is burning with vengeance. Although for him the coming end is above all a time of reckoning., in his writings, as „the theologian of the hope” - as Erie Osborn has called him - a lot of thoughts about future reward can be found. In this paper the Tertullian’s teaching about eschatological reward is presented. Among his ideas of the future life the idea of resurrection of the body is found as the most important. And as the result of it Tertullian amplifies his teaching about heaven, as the being with God and Christ, as the banquet in the Kingdom of God. According to Tertullian it will be one reward - eternal life - but in different characters. The special place in his system of eschatological reward is granted to martyrs.

CRIMINALISTIC METHODICS IN THE SYSTEM OF CRIMINALISTIC THEORY
Authors: Terehovich V. , Nimande T.
Published: April 2020

The term “criminal investigation technique” has two meanings in the scope of Theory of Criminalistics. The first meaning of the term is used for disclosure of one of regulatory means in Criminalistics cognition - criminal investigation technique cognition. This meaning of Criminalistics technique is disclosing in the limits of structure of the process of Criminalistics cognition. The second meaning of the term “Criminalistics technique” is disclosing in the limits of description of the system of cognitive activity in the sphere of applying criminal law.

During disclosure of the second meaning of the term “Criminalistics technique” we are pointing out that, first of all, it is the system of knowledge, used for organization of investigation of the event of criminal offense, id est, knowledge necessary and sufficient for getting new knowledge about the event of criminal offense. Knowledge acquired and used during applying criminal law in Latvia is knowledge of substantiate but not of faith nature. This knowledge is collective (sociable) knowledge and manifests itself during rationalization of investigation of the event of criminal offense. Personal knowledge manifests itself only during the stage of optimization of investigation of the event of criminal offense.

It is necessary to differentiate knowledge about criminal offense as knowledge about theoretical construction in criminal law and knowledge about the event of criminal offense as knowledge about phenomenon of fragment of material reality, which is evaluated as criminal offence. Knowledge about criminal offense (about corpus delicti) and linked circumstances as theoretical constructions in criminal law is collective (common, social) knowledge. This knowledge is gained by the person investigating the event of the criminal act in the course of long legal education. Knowledge about the event of criminal offense is got during another cognition activity

- investigation (cognition) of specific event of criminal offense. This knowledge is domain for other people, id est, collective (common, social) knowledge and it is fixed in the materials of criminal case.

Theoretical knowledge, necessary for reasonable process of investigation of the event of criminal offense, encloses two types of knowledge (primary and guiding) about rationalization of the activity. Criminalistics techniques (system of knowledge about organization of Criminalistics activity) as subbranch of Criminalistics theory is fulfilling methodological function for developing of techniques for organization of investigation of separate types of criminal offenses.

Keywords: Criminalistics theory, criminalistics techniques, organization of investigation of the event of criminal offense.

Inclusion of Hajłasz – Sobolev class Mpα(X) into the space of continuous functions in the critical case
Authors: Bondarev Sergey A.
Published: April 2020

Let (X, d, µ) be a doubling metric measure space with doubling dimension γ, i. e. for any balls B(x, R) and B(x, r), r < R, following inequality holds µ(B(x, R)) ≤ aµ (R/r)γµ(B(x, r)) for some positive constants γ and aµ. Hajłasz – Sobolev space Mpα(X) can be defined upon such general structure. In the Euclidean case Hajłasz – Sobolev space coincides with classical Sobolev space when p > 1, α = 1. In this article we discuss inclusion of functions from Hajłasz – Sobolev space Mpα(X) into the space of continuous functions for p ≤ 1 in the  critical case γ = α p. More precisely, it is shown that any function from Hajłasz – Sobolev class Mpα(X), 0 < p ≤ 1, α > 0, has a continuous representative in case of uniformly perfect space (X, d, µ).

ANALISIS KINERJA KEUANGAN PERUSAHAAN SEBELUM DAN SESUDAH SEASONED EQUITY OFFERINGS DI BURSA EFEK JAKARTA
Authors: N Agus Sunarjanto
Published: April 2020

Seasoned Equity Offering (SEO) is an additional public offering of a company’s shares in order to generate extra financing for business expansion or fulfillment of its liability. Based on Jakarta Stock Exchange data, 11 listed companies conducted SEO during year 2001. However, only 8 companies meet the requirements as samples for this research. In order to evaluate financial and operational variables, this research uses financial statement figures published 2 year prior and after SEO’s. Current ratio (CR), debt to equity ratio (DER) are chosen to represent financial variables, while net profit margin (NPM) and return on investment (ROI) represent operational variables. This research reveals that there was no significant difference in financial performance before and after SEO’s. It happened due to several factors, such as: (1) the fund generated from SEO’s were used to settle matured debts; and (2) foreign currency denominated debts which increased in value during the period of economic crisis
Assessment of the Resistance Value of Trash Racks at a Small Hydropower Plant Operating at Low Temperature
Authors: Walczak Natalia , Walczak Zbigniew , Nieć Jakub
Published: April 2020

Trash racks are the first element mounted in inlet channels of hydraulic structures. Their primary task is to capture coarse pollutants flowing in the riverbed/river channel and protect water facilities downstream. With the use of these devices, it is possible to separate coarse suspended matter, branches carried with the current, floating plastic elements, etc., which undoubtedly contributes to a trouble-free flow through culverts or channels and prevents hydroelectric power plant turbines from failure. An important issue here is also to ensure the proper operation of trash racks, particularly in respect of hydraulic structures whose task is to convert water energy into electricity (hydropower plants). Proper operation of trash racks minimizes losses arising from obstructing the free flow of water through accumulated waste or, in the wintertime, through icing. Incorrect work in this area entails specific head losses, and consequently leads to economic harm. In the paper, the resistance values of trash racks were analyzed at small hydropower plants (SHPs) operating at low temperatures, determined under laboratory conditions, with the occurrence of frazil ice and ice. The results indicate that the added ice into the channel resulted in the formation of a cover in front of the trash racks with an average thickness of about 0.02 m. The accumulated ice increased the head losses up to 14%. The range of the ice cover depended on the weight added ice and reached 0.6 m in analyzed cases.
An Economical Method for Simultaneously Improving Pretreatment and Anaerobic Fermentation Effects on Corn Straw Using Ultra-Low Concentration FeCl2
Authors: Qiao Yina , Lu Xuebin , Zhi Zehao , Zhang Shuting
Published: April 2020

Low pollution, slight corrosion, and low cost are the main challenges in the conversion of biomass to biogas. In this work, based on the whole process optimization of biomass conversion, an effective method using an ultra-low concentration of FeCl2 was proposed to simultaneously promote the biochemical reaction and improve the pretreatment effect. The concentration of FeCl2 in the pretreatment was determined according to the requirements of the minimum amount which led to the optimal performance of the anaerobic system and had economical importance. The effects of FeCl2 in the pretreatment and anaerobic fermentation were evaluated by comparing with that of distilled water in the production of hydrolysis products and organic acids. The optimal condition was obtained at 180 °C and 10 min with 1 × 10−5 mol/L FeCl2 pretreatment. At that condition, hemicellulose achieved a high conversion of 97.6%, and the released xylose reached nearly 95%. At least 77.5% of the organic matter in the solution can be utilized for subsequent fermentation. FeCl2 pretreatment also accelerated the anaerobic acidification fermentation process and promoted organic acid yields.

The increasing penetration of variable renewable energies (VRE) in the European electricity mix requires flexible energy storage systems (ESS), such as pumped storage hydropower (PSH). Disused mining voids from deep closed mines may be used as subsurface reservoirs of underground pumped-storage hydropower (UPSH) plants. Unlike conventional PSH plants, the air pressure in UPSH plants is variable and it differs from the atmospheric conditions. In this paper, the hydraulic transient process of an UPSH plant operating in pumping mode was investigated and a preliminary thermodynamic analysis of the closed surge tank was carried out. Analytical and CFD three-dimensional numerical simulations based on the volume of fluid (VOF) model with two-phase flow have been performed for analyzing the transient process. In the transient simulation, air and water are considered as ideal gas and compressible liquid, respectively. Different guide vanes closing schemes have been simulated. The obtained results show that the dimensioning of underground reservoir, surge tank, and air ducts is essential for ensuring the hydraulic performance and optimizing the operation of UPSH plants. The static pressure in the air duct, surge tank and lower reservoir reaches −1.6, 112.8 and −4 kPa, respectively, while a heat flux of −80 W was obtained through the surge tank walls.

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an adverse drug reaction characterized by thrombocytopenia and a high risk for venous or arterial thrombosis. HIT is caused by antibodies that recognize complexes of platelet factor 4 and heparin. The pathogenic mechanisms of this condition are not fully understood. In this study, we used flow cytometry, fluorimetry, and Western blot analysis to study the direct effects of pathogenic immune complexes containing platelet factor 4 on human platelets isolated by gel-filtration. HIT-like pathogenic immune complexes initially caused pronounced activation of platelets detected by an increased expression of phosphatidylserine and P-selectin. This activation was mediated either directly through the FcγRIIA receptors or indirectly via protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) receptors due to thrombin generated on or near the surface of activated platelets. The immune activation was later followed by the biochemical signs of cell death, such as mitochondrial membrane depolarization, up-regulation of Bax, down-regulation of Bcl-XL, and moderate activation of procaspase 3 and increased calpain activity. The results show that platelet activation under the action of HIT-like immune complexes is accompanied by their death through complex apoptotic and calpain-dependent non-apoptotic pathways that may underlie the low platelet count in HIT.

The increasing resistance of fungal pathogens has heightened the necessity of searching for new organisms and compounds to combat their spread. Streptomyces are bacteria that are well-known for the production of many antibiotics. To find novel antibiotic agents, researchers have turned to previously neglected and extreme environments. Here, we isolated a new strain, Streptomyces sp. S-2, for the first time, from black soot after hard coal combustion (collected from an in-use household chimney). We examined its antifungal properties against plant pathogens and against fungi that potentially pose threat to human health (Fusarium avenaceum, Aspergillus niger and the environmental isolates Trichoderma citrinoviridae Cin-9, Nigrospora oryzae sp. roseF7, and Curvularia coatesieae sp. junF9). Furthermore, we obtained the genome sequence of S-2 and examined its potential for secondary metabolites production using anti-SMASH software. The S-2 strain shows activity against all of the tested fungi. Genome mining elucidated a vast number of biosynthetic gene clusters (55), which distinguish this strain from closely related strains. The majority of the predicted clusters were assigned to non-ribosomal peptide synthetases or type 1 polyketide synthetases, groups known to produce compounds with antimicrobial activity. A high number of the gene clusters showed no, or low similarity to those in the database, raising the possibility that S-2 could be a producer of novel antibiotics. Future studies on Streptomyces sp. S-2 will elucidate its full biotechnological potential.
Increase in PKCα Activity during Heart Failure Despite the Stimulation of PKCα Braking Mechanism
Authors: Aslam Naveed
Published: April 2020

Rationale: Heart failure (HF) is marked by dampened cardiac contractility. A mild therapeutic target that improves contractile function without desensitizing the β-adrenergic system during HF may improve cardiac contractility and potentially survival. Inhibiting protein kinase C α (PKCα) activity may fit the criteria of a therapeutic target with milder systemic effects that still boosts contractility in HF patients. PKCα activity has been observed to increase during HF. This increase in PKCα activity is perplexing because it is also accompanied by up-regulation of a molecular braking mechanism. Objective: I aim to explore how PKCα activity can be increased and maintained during HF despite the presence of a molecular braking mechanism. Methods and Results: Using a computational approach, I show that the local diacylglycerol (DAG) signaling is regulated through a two-compartment signaling system in cardiomyocytes. These results imply that after massive myocardial infarction (MI), local homeostasis of DAG signaling is disrupted. The loss of this balance leads to prolonged activation of PKCα, a key molecular target linked to LV remodeling and dysfunctional filling and ejection in the mammalian heart. This study also proposes an explanation for how DAG homeostasis is regulated during normal systolic and diastolic cardiac function. Conclusions: I developed a novel two-compartment computational model for regulating DAG homeostasis during Ang II-induced heart failure. This model provides a promising tool with which to study mechanisms of DAG signaling regulation during heart failure. The model can also aid in identification of novel therapeutic targets with the aim of improving the quality of life for heart failure patients.

Published: April 2020

Plant hormones have various functions in plants and play crucial roles in all developmental and differentiation stages. Auxins constitute one of the most important groups with the major representative indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). A halogenated derivate of IAA, 4-chloro-indole-3-acetic acid (4-Cl-IAA), has previously been identified in Pisum sativum and other legumes. While the enzymes responsible for the halogenation of compounds in bacteria and fungi are well studied, the metabolic pathways leading to the production of 4-Cl-IAA in plants, especially the halogenating reaction, are still unknown. Therefore, bacterial flavin-dependent tryptophan-halogenase genes were transformed into the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. The type of chlorinated indole derivatives that could be expected was determined by incubating wild type A. thaliana with different Cl-tryptophan derivatives. We showed that, in addition to chlorinated IAA, chlorinated IAA conjugates were synthesized. Concomitantly, we found that an auxin conjugate synthetase (GH3.3 protein) from A. thaliana was able to convert chlorinated IAAs to amino acid conjugates in vitro. In addition, we showed that the production of halogenated tryptophan (Trp), indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN) and IAA is possible in transgenic A. thaliana in planta with the help of the bacterial halogenating enzymes. Furthermore, it was investigated if there is an effect (i) of exogenously applied Cl-IAA and Cl-Trp and (ii) of endogenously chlorinated substances on the growth phenotype of the plants.

Increasing evidence suggests that the metal homeostasis is involved in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases including senile type of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and vascular dementia. In particular, synaptic Zn2+ is known to play critical roles in the pathogenesis of vascular dementia. In this article, we review the molecular pathways of Zn2+-induced neurotoxicity based on our and numerous other findings, and demonstrated the implications of the energy production pathway, the disruption of calcium homeostasis, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress pathway, and the stress-activated protein kinases/c-Jun amino-terminal kinases (SAPK/JNK) pathway. Furthermore, we have searched for substances that protect neurons from Zn2+-induced neurotoxicity among various agricultural products and determined carnosine (β-alanyl histidine) as a possible therapeutic agent for vascular dementia.

Published: April 2020

The precast shear wall behavior in the serviceability and ultimate limit states depends on the shear and shear-flexural behavior of the joints between the precast components or between the precast component and footing. This study presents a series of tests on the shear strength of joints, which were applied to the interface of precast shear walls. The tested parameters included the joint types, the numbers of shear keys, the existence of high strength steel bars inserted at the joints, and the levels of confining stress. The shear capacity, stiffness, and shear transfer mechanisms of these joints were investigated. It could be concluded that the epoxied and high strength reinforcing joints had consistently higher shear strength than that of dry and plain joints. For the specimens with an inclined angle at the end of the keys of less than 60 degrees, the width of the dry joint opening may be excessively large, resulting in large shear slip and the key not shearing-off under confining stress of less than 1.0 MPa. The tested results were compared with AASHTO and other design criteria. Several formulas regarding the joint shear capacities were also proposed according to the specifications and the tested results.

Several biochemical mechanisms, including the arachidonic acid cascade and activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), are involved in increased tumor survival. Combined application of inhibitors acting on these two pathways may result in a more pronounced antitumor effect. Here, we show that baicalein (selective 12-lipoxygenase inhibitor), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (non-selective lipoxygenase inhibitor), and indomethacin (non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor) are cytotoxic to Ehrlich carcinoma cells in vitro. Marine snail α-conotoxins PnIA, RgIA and ArIB11L16D, blockers of α3β2/α6β2, α9α10 and α7 nAChR subtypes, respectively, as well as α-cobratoxin, a blocker of α7 and muscle subtype nAChRs, exhibit low cytotoxicity, but enhance the antitumor effect of baicalein 1.4-fold after 24 h and that of nordihydroguaiaretic acid 1.8–3.9-fold after 48 h of cell cultivation. α-Conotoxin MII, a blocker of α6-containing and α3β2 nAChR subtypes, increases the cytotoxic effect of indomethacin 1.9-fold after 48 h of cultivation. In vivo, baicalein, α-conotoxins MII and PnIA inhibit Ehrlich carcinoma growth and increase mouse survival; these effects are greatly enhanced by the combined application of α-conotoxin MII with indomethacin or conotoxin PnIA with baicalein. Thus, we show, for the first time, antitumor synergism of α-conotoxins and arachidonic acid cascade inhibitors.

Secondary metabolites obtained from marine-derived fungi are rich sources of drug candidates. Three new sesquiterpenoids, chermesiterpenoids A–C (1–3), along with four known alkaloids (4–7), were isolated and identified from the marine red algal-derived fungus Penicillium chermesinum EN-480. The structures of these new sesquiterpenoids were elucidated using detailed analysis of the NMR data and their relative configurations were elucidated using nuclear overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) spectra as well as gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) NMR shift calculations and DP4+ probability analysis. Their absolute configurations were determined using electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations and modified Mosher’s method. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited potent activities against human and aquatic pathogenic bacteria and plant pathogenic fungi.
