Published: September 2019

We present a polymer network that can reversibly switch between three distinct states of mechanical and chemical properties, significantly extending the boundaries of state-switching materials. This switching behavior is enabled by a photoreduction mechanism that leverages coumarin-functionalized cuboctahedral Cu24L24 metal-organic cages (MOCs) linked by polymers in a "polyMOC" gel. The properties of each material state can be used in a cooperative fashion to achieve advanced functions such as network toughening, metallic patterning, and additive manufacturing
Getting Students Back on Track: Persistent Effects of Flipping Accelerated Organic Chemistry on Student Achievement, Study Strategies, and Perceptions of Instruction
Authors: Reimer Lynn C. , He Wenliang , Link Renee
Published: September 2019

Converting a first-term, accelerated summer organic chemistry course to a flipped format narrowed the achievement gap between students seeking to get ahead in their course of study and those repeating the course. Exam performance improved in the following course in the sequence (taught in traditional format) for students who had previously failed the first-term course. While most students responded positively to the new course structure, repeating students held a stronger preference for the flipped format. These findings provide guidance on how to create courses that promote equity, access and retention of diverse students in STEM.

Conversion of carbon-di-oxide into selective hydrocarbon using stable catalyst remains a holy-grail in catalysis community. The high overpotential, stability, and selectivity in use of a single metal-based catalyst still remain a challenge. In current work, instead of using pure noble metals (Ag, Au, and Pt) as the catalyst, a novel nanocrystalline high entropy alloy (HEA: AuAgPtPdCu) has been used for conversion of CO2 into gaseous hydrocarbons. Utilizing an approach of multi-metallic HEA, a Faradaic efficiency of about 100% towards gaseous products is obtained. The reason behind the superior catalytic activity of high entropy alloy (HEA) was established through first-principles based density functional theory (DFT) by comparing it with pristine Cu (111) surface. This is attributed to the reversal in adsorption trends for two out of the total eight intermediates - *OCH3 and *O on Cu(111) and HEA surfaces.
Record High External Quantum Efficiency of 19.2% Achieved in Light-Emitting Diodes of Colloidal Quantum Wells Enabled by Hot-Injection Shell Growth

Published: September 2019

Colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) are regarded as a new, highly promising class of optoelectronic materials thanks to their unique excitonic characteristics of high extinction coefficient and ultranarrow emission bandwidth. Although the exploration of CQWs in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is impressive, the performance of CQW-LEDs lags far behind compared with other types of LEDs (e.g., organic LEDs, colloidal quantum-dot LEDs, and perovskite LEDs). Herein, for the first time, the authors show high-efficiency CQW-LEDs reaching close to the theoretical limit. A key factor for this high performance is the exploitation of hot-injection shell (HIS) growth of CQWs, which enables a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), reduces nonradiative channels, ensures smooth films and enhances the stability. Remarkably, the PLQY remains 95% in solution and 87% in film despite rigorous cleaning. Through systematically understanding their shape-, composition- and device- engineering, the CQW-LEDs using CdSe/Cd0.25Zn0.75S core/HIS CQWs exhibit a maximum external quantum efficiency of 19.2%. Additionally, a high luminance of 23,490 cd m-2, extremely saturated red color with the Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage coordinates of (0.715, 0.283) and stable emission are obtained. The findings indicate that HIS grown CQWs enable high-performance solution-processed LEDs, which may pave the path for CQW-based display and lighting technologies.

Published: September 2019

The hydrogen catalysed oxidation of nuclear materials has led to containment vessel failure. The interaction of hydrogen with actinide dioxide (AnO2, An = U, Np, Pu) (011) surfaces has been completed by DFT+U; where, spin-orbit interactions and noncollinear 3k antiferromagnetic behaviour have been included. The energy of atomic hydrogen adsorption for UO2 (0.44 eV), NpO2 (-0.47 eV), and PuO2 (-1.71 eV) has been calculated, where the subsequent formation of an OH group is shown to distort the surface structure. The dissociation of hydrogen on the PuO2 (011) surfaces has been found; however, UO2 (011) and NpO2 (011) surfaces are relatively inert. The recombination of hydrogen ions on the UO2 (011) and NpO2 (011) surfaces is highly-probable; whereas, hydroxide formation on the PuO2 (011) surface has been shown. The results have consequences for fuel storage management.

Authors: Belyaev K. V. , Chulkova I. L.
Published: September 2019

Introduction. The causes of premature destruction of asphalt concrete coatings are aging and low quality of bitumen. The paper describes the methods for improving the bitumen properties. The authors present the review of the bitumen modification by carbon black usage. The usage of carbon black leads to structural changes in the bitumen. Therefore, the authors select carbon black additives as a promising modifiers.

Materials and methods. The paper showed the characteristics of carbon modifiers and the properties of the initial bitumen.

Results. The authors experimentally determined the main parameters of the modified bitumen and compared the effect of three carbon black additives on the bitumen properties. The usage of activated carbon black significantly reduced the penetration of bitumen than non-activated carbon black, however, the indicators of aging were declined.

Discussion and conclusions. As a result, the solid additive’s usage increases the bitumen viscosity with other standard characteristics’ preservation, and thus improves the bitumen thermal stability. Therefore, the usage of activated carbon black in dry forms does not affect significantly on the bitumen properties in comparison with varietal N 375 grade-carbon.

Published: September 2019

Este artículo constituye una revisión del campo de la Educación Asistida con Animales (EAA), principalmente, el uso con perros entrenados para trabajar en contextos educativos, y los impactos generados a partir de los resultados de su aplicación en procesos pedagógicos y psicoeducativos. En este sentido, el objetivo principal de esta investigación consistió en realizar una revisión de los alcances que tienen las estrategias de la Educación Asistida con perros como método alternativo para trabajar la resolución de diferentes problemáticas que se presentan en este contexto, además de resaltar los beneficios psicopedagógicos que se generan como consecuencia de la incorporación de esta metodología a las aulas de clase. La propuesta cuenta con un diseño cualitativo que utiliza la metodología de investigación documental, lo que implica hacer una revisión previa de estudios anteriormente realizados en el tema. En cuanto a los principales hallazgos evidenciados en las investigaciones revisadas, se encontró que la integración de estrategias educativas asistidas con perros en entornos escolares genera un impacto positivo en cuanto al autoestima, motivación, seguridad y confianza, socialización y estado de ánimo de los estudiantes, al facilitar la externalización de sentimientos (tanto positivos como negativos) en situaciones orientadas al aprendizaje cooperativo y la participación de los mismos en el aula de clase, logrando una mayor atención e interacción con el entorno y un mejor control emocional en el aula, disminuyendo, así, sentimientos negativos como la depresión, ansiedad, aburrimiento y soledad. Adicionalmente, pudo evidenciarse que la incorporación de un perro en el aula de clase tiende a incentivar en los estudiantes un mayor interés por la lectura, el mejoramiento en la utilización de su memoria de trabajo y un aumento notable en el uso de su vocabulario. Algunas de las limitaciones evidenciadas en la revisión documental se relacionan con un alto desconocimiento de estas estrategias, debido a la poca incorporación y reconocimiento de esta herramienta como un método alternativo a la intervención tradicional de problemas educativos y sociales. Sin embargo, la amplia evidencia de la efectividad demostrada en sus aplicaciones en diversidad de población con patología orgánica, mental o psicosocial, ha permitido que su aplicación se haya extendido a diversos escenarios educativos, demostrando resultados muy satisfactorios en los procesos desarrollados al interior de las aulas de clase.

Published: September 2019

Objetivo: Identificar un nuevo modelo de enseñanza pedagógico praxeológico que contribuya a la adquisición de competencias mínimas en los estudiantes de informática para el desarrollo de aplicaciones de software.

Metodología: Se aplicó la metodología propuesta por los doctores Ferreiro & Cummings (2012) llamada MeProb, la cual, contribuyó a determinar y formular un posible problema de investigación para el desarrollo de un proyecto de investigación de una manera ordenada y sistemática, facilitando la aplicabilidad de instrumentos a los estudiantes del programa de Tecnología en Informática (TINF) de los tres(3)  semestres, al cuerpo docente, egresados y al sector empresarial de las Sedes Principal Calle 80, Bogotá Sur y Soacha de la Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios- UNIMINUTO, logrando identificar problemas, dificultades y/o inconvenientes que tienen los estudiantes del programa para adquirir las competencias mínimas necesarias para el desarrollo de software.

Resultados: Se pudo demostrar que los estudiantes no adquieren las competencias mínimas para la lógica en programación por distintos factores como la dificultad de aprendizaje, falta de equipos en una Institución para reforzar lo aprendido, el idioma en el que está escrito el lenguaje de programación, y la dificultad para analizar y resolver problemas y ejercicios propuestos, siendo necesario aplicar un nuevo modelo de enseñanza pedagógico praxeológico distinto.

Conclusión: Se concluye que existen diferentes causas para que un estudiante de informática no llegue a adquirir las competencias mínimas necesarias para el desarrollo de cualquier software, y que las metodologías de enseñanza existentes empleadas por el docente de acuerdo a los lineamientos de los micro currículos o syllabus, no son siempre del todo convenientes debido a que cada estudiante tiene una forma de aprender  distinto,  por lo que se requiere aplicar un nuevo modelo de enseñanza pedagógico praxeológico que contribuya a fortalecer y adquirir las competencias en los estudiantes en informática.

Authors: Goncharenko L. I. , Vishnevskaya N. G.
Published: September 2019

The urgency of the research is determined by the necessity to assess the latest changes in the mechanism of providing profit tax relief and to confront the net effect with the orientation to innovative development of the economy. The subject of the investigation is the tax incentives mechanisms in leading and developing world economies. The purpose of the work is to suggest ways to increase the effectiveness of the tax incentive tools employed to close the economic and technological gap between Russia and the world leaders. In conditions of national economy instability determined by both global and internal factors, as well as by the international sanctions related to Russia, the opportunity of fast development of national economy high-technological sectors is of particular importance. In this respect, foreign experience of tax incentives for research and innovations appears very interesting. The authors present the analysis of foreign best practices of tax benefits evolution that stimulate investments into innovative activities. In result, the experience of tax credit that is the basic tool of tax incentives for research-and-development activities is summarized and classified. This made it possible to systemize and classify the existing in Russia investment tax deductions. Comparison of the Russian tax incentive model with the generalized foreign practices demonstrated a variety of problems. It is concluded that there is nothing to compensate for the abolition regional investment tax benefits with reduced tax on profit rate in 2023 in the regions where investment tax deduction is not introduced, which can influence investment climate in the country in a negative way. To solve this problem, the authors suggest introducing investment tax deduction all over the country for investments into modern equipment.

Authors: PARLAR Hakan , BOZYEL Serdar
Published: September 2019

Objective: Percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect is a well-established procedure and has evolved to become the standard of care due to its many advantages. However, atrial septal defect closure devices covered with polyvinyl alcohol membrane could cause recurrent significant shunts due to a spontaneous polyvinyl alcohol membrane perforation. To investigate whether spontaneous polyvinyl alcohol membrane perforation developed in our patients who had implanted with CARDIA Ultrasept atrial septal defect occluder (Eagan, Minnesota, USA) that covered with Polyvinyl Alcohol membrane.Methods: We retrospectively rewieved all patients with a diagnosis of secundum type atrial septal defect who underwent percutanoues closure with CARDIA Ultrasept prosthesis.Results: Ten patients aged 4 to 56 years who underwent atrial septal defect closure with UItrasept device were included. During a median 26 months follow up period, we detected a four cases of polyvinyl alcohol membrane failure. In 3 patients, perforation of polyvinyl alcohol membrane caused significant left to right shunt that required re-intervention, while in one patient it caused minimal residual shunt. The devices were used were 14 mm (two patients), 16 mm (one patient) and 30 mm (one patient). Two patients underwent surgical device removal and pericardial patch closure. One patient underwent device in device procedure. Residual shunts were not occured in after reinterventions.Conclusion: Polyvinyl alcohol membrane perforation is rare and can require reintervention. Operators have to be aware of this malfunction.

Authors: GHASEMİ Moslem , MOVAHED Ali , KADKHODAEİ Samaneh
Published: September 2019

Medical
tourism is emerged as one of the new capacities for tourism in current market.
Medical tourism development leads to the strengthening of human resources,
organizations, and the individual/social capacities. Many
researchers overviewed the issue of capacity development of medical tourism by various models; however, there
is not the coexistence of capacity development and medical tourism components
in their models. Hence, this research attempts to study the medical tourism and
capacity development conceptual models to provide a novel model for capacity
development of medical tourism. The research method is basically content
analysis and the research type is fundamental. The data is collected from
library research. Examination of models and main variables is done within the
whole health system including tourist destination, organizations and
institutions, and the tourists through consideration of different capacity
levels and the socio-cultural, economic and political factors which form the
sustainable development of destination. The results emphasize that the capacity
development of medical tourism should consider the whole health system in the
destination from institutional and tourist dimensions rising from the
individual level up to the social level. Finally, our novel model is derived
and introduced from deep consideration of all studied models.

Metaphors in Everyday English
Authors: Gábor Torda
Published: September 2019

The present paper shows the development of the concept of metaphor since Aristotle’s first definition until the interpretations provided by cognitive linguists in the second half of the 20th century. In the ancient philosophies metaphor was considered an ornamental device, appropriate for poetry only. This classical view radically changed in the twentieth century and since then numerous conceptualizations have been proposed to reinvent the notion of metaphor. Recent studies in cognitive science by Zoltán Kövecses and George Lakoff have shown that metaphors are a fundamental part of human cognition. Their dynamic structure helps us to better understand abstract scientific concepts, trigger emotions, and enrich our everyday language. This work provides an overview of the process of metaphor comprehension through various theories. Furthermore, by applying the method of comparison, I analyse some conventional English metaphors and their Hungarian counterparts in support of the idea that metaphor is omnipresent in our everyday language; however, their mapping can be influenced by cultural factors.

Perencanaan pendidikan adalah suatu proses menetapkan keputusan yang berkaitan dengan tujuan yang akan dicapai, sumber sumber yang akan diberdayakan, dan teknik atau metode akan dipilih secara tepat untuk melaksanakan tindakan selama kurun waktu tertentu agar penyelenggaraan pendidikan dapat dilaksanakan secara efektif, efisien dan bermutu. Depdikbud (1982), mengemukakan langkah-langkah yang ditempuh dalam proses penyususnan perencanaan pendidikan yaitu: (a) pengumpulan dan pengolahan data, (b) diagnosis, (c) perumusan kebijakan, (d) perkiraan kebutuhan masa depan, (e) perhtungan biaya, (f) penetapan sasaran, (g) perumsan rencana, (h) perincian rencana, (i) implementasi rencana, (j) evaluasi rencana, dan (k) revisi rencana. Dengan adanya langkah-langkah perencanaan pendidikan tersebut diharapkan pendidikan di Indonesia akan semakin maju. Masalah pendidikan di Indonesia seakan menjadi masalah pula untuk pemerintah dalam merencanakan Sistem Pendidikan Nasional. Sistem Pendidikan Nasional selama ini seakan belum meng-cover tujuan pendidikan nasional. Tujuan pendidikan nasional begitu mulia, tetapi implementasinya tidak sanggup mewujudkannya. Perencanaan sistem pendidikan ini akan sesuai dengan tujuan pendidikan nasional, apabila masalah dalam pendidikan yang telah dibahas dapat teratasi.
