Iridium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Vinylogous and Bisvinylogous Allenylic Substitution
Authors: Mitra Sankash , Mukherjee Santanu
Published: May 2024

Compared to the widely explored enol silanes, applicability of their extended variants especially as bisvinylogous nucleophile in enantioselective catalysis has been sparse. Herein, we describe the first enantioselective vinylogous and bisvinylogous allenylic substitution using silyl dienol and trienol ethers, respectively, as nucleophile. With racemic allenylic alcohols as electrophile, these enantioconvergent reactions are cooperatively catalyzed by an Ir(I)/(phosphoramidite,olefin) complex and Lewis acidic La(OTf)3, and display remarkable regio- and diastereoselectivity in most cases. The ability of such extended silyl enol ethers in distant functionalization and creation of remote stereocenters is evident from the resulting γ- and ε-allenylic unsaturated ketones, bearing δ- and ζ-stereocenters respectively, which are obtained in moderate to high yield with good to excellent enantioselectivity. The synthetic utility of these unsaturated carbonyls bearing an allene moiety is demonstrated with several transformations, including controlled reductions and stereoselective olefinations which lead to products with desired degrees of unsaturation.

Published: May 2024

Documenting the interplay between slow deformation and seismic ruptures is essential to understand the physics of earthquakes nucleation. However, slow deformation is often difficult to detect and characterize. The most pervasive seismic markers of slow slip are low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs) that allow resolving deformation at minute-scale. Detecting LFEs is hard, due to their emergent onsets and low signal-to-noise ratios, usually requiring region-specific template matching approaches. These approaches suffer from low flexibility and might miss LFEs as they are constrained to sources identified a priori. Here, we develop a deep learning-based workflow for LFE detection and location, modeled after classical earthquake detection with phase picking, phase association, and location. Across three regions with known LFE activity, we detect LFEs from both previously cataloged sources and newly identified sources. Furthermore, the approach is transferable across regions, enabling systematic studies of LFEs in regions without known LFE activity.

Published: May 2024

Antibiotic resistance is one of the major issues in the medical field and a potential threat to human health. However, newly emerging antimicrobial compounds failed to combat antimicrobial resistance developed by bacterial pathogens. Recently, a bismuth-based complex has been developed to eradicate antimicrobial-resistant microorganism infections. The complex is known as organobismuth (III) phosphinate, which is said to be a potential broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. This complex has been incorporated into the nanocellulose suspension to fabricate a biomedical composite for various applications. The composite can be fabricated by two methods namely vacuum filtration and spray coating. In this paper, the surface and topography of the composite are investigated and discussed in terms of SEM micrographs and their antimicrobial potential. This review focuses on the organo-bismuth nanocellulose composite and its biomedical application in the future.

Authors: Pan Jie , Ou Yangchun , Xu Jianguo
Published: May 2024

Membranous lupus nephritis (MLN), class V, is a distinct LN characterized by immune complex deposition on subepithelial kidney biopsy. MLN is often associated with nephrotic syndrome. The histology of MLN is very similar to idiopathic (primary) membranous nephropathy (pMN). However, MLN usually has abundant mesa-glomerular deposits absent in primary membranous nephropathy. The clinical manifestations, management, and prognosis of MLN differ from other types of LN (type III, IV, or mixed type III/IV + V). Although immunosuppressive therapy is often necessary for MLN, the optimal treatment regimen is yet to be determined. This review summarizes the progress in the diagnosis and treatment of MLN and discusses the selection of immunosuppressants for MLN.

Authors: Ma Shaochang , Lin Chunhua , Li Yanmei , Chen Yan , Zhang Guohui
Published: May 2024

Objective: To evaluate the application value of neutrophils/lymphocytes (NLR), platelets/lymphocytes (PLR), lymphocytes/monocytes (LMR), HEART (history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors, and troponin) score, and point-of-care testing (POCT) in the early warning and precise diagnosis of high-risk chest pain in emergency medicine. Methods: A total of 157 patients with acute chest pain who were admitted to the emergency department and chest pain treatment unit of our hospital between August 2022 and September 2023 were selected. Rapid testing of bedside myocardial markers (ultrasensitive troponin (hs-cTnI), myoglobin (MYO), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), D-dimer (D-Dimer), and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP)) was performed on the patients using a POCT device (ThermoKing BioMQ60proB). A HEART score was used to classify the patients into low (n = 53), intermediate (n = 59), and high-risk (n = 45) groups, and the NLR, PLR, and LMR were calculated. The NLR, PLR, and LMR values were compared among the three groups of patients, and the optimal cutoff values as well as sensitivity and specificity were determined based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: The HEART scores of patients in the low-risk, intermediate-risk, and high-risk groups were (2.72 ± 0.24), (4.75 ± 0.56), and (5.32 ± 0.73) respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Compared with the low-risk group, the intermediate-risk group and high-risk group had a significantly higher NLR and PLR, and a significantly lower LMR; the high-risk group had higher NLR and PLR and lower values of LMR as compared to the other two groups, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The ROC curves suggested that the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity of the combined diagnosis of NLR, PLR, LMR, HEART score, and POCT were greater than those of LR, PLR, and LMR with HEART score and POCT alone. Conclusion: The combined application of NLR, PLR, LMR, HEART score, and POCT has significant application value in the early warning and precise diagnosis of emergency high-risk chest pain. It provides a more simple, easy-to-access, and efficient assessment index for the clinical prediction and treatment of emergency high-risk chest pain.
A Modified 5-SPICE Framework Review on English Language Teachers' and Learners' Perceptions of an Educational Emergency
Authors: Karim Md. Ziaul , Gnawali Laxman , Hasan Md. Kamrul
Published: May 2024

Covid-19 pandemic caused the biggest global on-site academic lockdown for more than a year, resulting in the largest disruption in the history of education. This review article highlights how tertiary English language education (ELE) in developing countries like Bangladesh continued during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic (from March 2020 onwards) - the 1st time long-lasting educational emergency that crippled the world. Considering this context, twenty (20) empirical papers on tertiary ELE from the COVID outbreak in 2020 to 2023 were reviewed through a Modified 5-SPICE framework where SPICE stands for Setting, Participants, Investigation type, Content and Ethical considerations applied by the reviewed articles. The thematic data analysis based on the Modified 5-SPICE framework applied Wellington’s (2015, as cited in Cohen et al., 2018) seven data analysis stages. The findings disclosed that the COVID-19 educational emergency utilized some existing educational technologies (EdTechs) and made a forced entry of some new technologies. ELE teachers and students had mixed feelings as they faced initial challenges which they gradually tried to overcome. This paper sheds light on their perspectives and complexities in addition to the future possibilities of emergency EdTechs at the tertiary ELE level. The findings are expected to assist pedagogues, policymakers, learners and other stakeholders to recognize the importance of the growing New Normal EdTechs to form a better Next Normal ELT pedagogy.

Authors: Haq Daffa Aqomal , Nurhalim Asep , Wiliasih Ranti
Published: May 2024

An integrated stock market has negative impacts, such as accelerating co-movement, which is vulnerable to economic shocks and global market crises on the domestic market. One of the crises in 2022 was the Russia-Ukraine war which impacted the stock market, including Sharia stocks which were believed to be more resistant to the shocks of the global crisis. This study examines the development, integration, and response of OIC countries five Islamic stock markets in the Russia-Ukraine war. The method used is VAR/VECM on the DJIMMT25, SPSADS, SPSUUAEDS, JII, DJIMT, SPBMIR, and SPBMIU indices. The results show the same movement in the UAE and Saudi Arabia stock markets, while Turkey experienced a positive trend during the war. The Islamic stock market of the OIC countries during the Russia-Ukraine war was cointegrated. In contrast, the Malaysian stock market influenced the Islamic stock markets of the other four OIC countries. The IRF results show a permanent effect on the volatility of the Islamic stock market in OKI countries due to the shocks given. However, the volatility response is relatively small because the stock market itself dominates the contribution of shocks.
Sources of Cysteine-Based Pharmaceutical Drugs and Their Halal Aspects in Pharmaceutical Product Development
Authors: Dzikri Dzikri Anfasa Firdaus
Published: May 2024

Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, so supplements and medicines consumed must be halal (permissible in Islamic law). Cysteine is an essential amino acid that is crucial to human biological functions. Cysteine can be used as a mucolytic agent to help thin mucus in respiratory diseases such as bronchitis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It also serves as an antidote to acetaminophen for detoxification purposes or as an antidote to counteract paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose, a commonly used drug to relieve pain and reduce fever. Additionally, it functions as a supplement. This research aims to comprehensively review the sources of cysteine, its production, and its use in pharmaceuticals, as well as the opinions of scholars regarding the halal aspects that need to be considered in developing pharmaceutical products containing cysteine. The methods employed include searching through references from research articles obtained from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, NCBI, Elsevier, and the Qur'an, Hadiths, and other Islamic literature sources. The compound structures are depicted using the ChemSketch tool from ACD/Labs. Mucolytic and acetaminophen drugs, such as acetylcysteine, can be derived from both animal and plant sources through chemical and non-chemical separation processes. Cysteine is generally a precursor for the synthesis of acetylcysteine. Cysteine sourced from specific organs, such as pig hair, has differing opinions among various scholars regarding its permissibility. However, the prevailing view and fatwa tend to lean towards its prohibition, depending on the source, process, and urgency of its use.

Published: May 2024

Perkebunan kelapa sawit selama ini selalu melekat dengan isu degradasi ekosistem, baik secara biotik maupun abiotik. Serangga sebagai salah satu faktor biotik dalam ekosistem kerap memiliki peran penting seperti agen penyerbukan dan pembenah tanah. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pengaruh jarak antara kebun kelapa sawit dan hutan terhadap keanekaragaman serangga permukaan tanah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pitfall trap untuk mengumpulkan sampel serangga dan menganalisis kekayaan, keanekaragaman, kemerataan, dan kesamaan ekosistem. Ditemukan bahwa perbedaan jarak memiliki dampak terhadap kelimpahan, komposisi, dan keanekaragaman serangga. Ekosistem ecotone, yang berada pada jarak terdekat dengan hutan, menunjukkan kelimpahan dan kekayaan serangga yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan ekosistem kelapa sawit. Kondisi ini menciptakan nilai keanekaragaman dan kesamaan ekosistem yang lebih tinggi di antara kedua ekosistem tersebut. Meskipun demikian, jarak juga dapat membatasi pergerakan serangga antar ekosistem. Hasil dari penelitian dapat memberikan pemahaman baru tentang faktor jarak dalam memahami dinamika ekologi serangga di antara ekosistem kelapa sawit dan hutan, yang dapat berkontribusi pada perencanaan konservasi yang lebih efektif.

El ácido L-ascórbico, es un antioxidante natural producido por las plantas y sus frutos. La abundancia de este ácido durante el desarrollo y la maduración poscosecha del mango (Mangifera indica L.) depende de factores genéticos y climáticos. Los mangos se someten a un tratamiento hidrotérmico cuarentenario, antes de su exportación para control de la mosca de la fruta. El un tratamiento hidrotérmico cuarentenario, consiste en sumergir los mangos en agua a 46.1 °C (118 °F) durante 60 a 120 min dependiendo del tamaño, afectando el contenido de ácido L-ascórbico y otros parámetros de calidad del fruto. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el efecto del THC en el contenido de ácido L-ascórbico, la firmeza, el color y la expresión de genes de biosíntesis y reciclaje de ácido L-ascórbico durante la postcosecha del mango. Los mangos ‘Ataulfo’ se cosecharon en madurez fisiológica en Escuinapa, Sinaloa en el año 2019, se sometieron a THC (46.1 °C, 75 min), hidroenfriado (25 °C, 30 min) y se almacenaron a 20 °C por nueve días. Los mangos sometidos al THC mostraron reducción en el contenido de ácido L-ascórbico (p≤ 0.05). La firmeza de la pulpa se comportó similar en frutos con THC y en frutos testigo, mientras que el color externo de los frutos con un tratamiento hidrotérmico cuarentenario e indicó un proceso de maduración adelantado respecto a los frutos testigo (p≤ 0.05). Los niveles de transcritos MiGME1, MiGME2, MiGGP2 y MiMDHAR aumentaron en respuesta al tratamiento, lo que sugiere la activación de la ruta de síntesis y reciclaje para contrarrestar el estrés abiótico ocasionado por el calor al que se sometieron los mangos.
STRATEGIC ASPECTS OF HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF MILITARY OPERATIONS: UKRAINIAN EXPERIENCE
Authors: Stroiko Tetiana , Burkun Vitaly , Medvedov Roman
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the article is to study the strategic aspects of human resource management in the context of military operations and to substantiate the ways to minimise the negative effects of permanent crisis phenomena. Theoretical research has shown that when quarantine is lifted and during martial law, it is not about increasing the company's efficiency, but about how not to lose it. The research forms the theoretical and methodological basis for the practical aspects of HR management under martial law, but further study is needed to adapt the methods of HR management of organisations and enterprises to the conditions of military operations. An important aspect of management is to create conditions for the development of innovation, team spirit and the pursuit of high quality. Encouraging employees to be flexible in the interests of an adaptive organisation and continuously improving the quality of work are key. In addition, it is important to maintain working conditions that guarantee a high level of employee health and safety. By summarising theoretical studies and expert assessments, the article provides general approaches to the development of a human resources management strategy in the context of armed conflict. In the context of a permanent armed conflict localised in certain regions, it is important to have sufficiently qualified and trained personnel capable of effectively performing the tasks assigned.

The Iranian Revolution of 1979 caused Iran to shape its foreign policy along with its domestic political structure, within the framework of a certain Shiite understanding of Islam. Within this context and through the use of the explanatory case study method, this study aims to examine the effect of Shiism within the foreign policy of the post-Revolution Islamic Republic of Iran. First, the foreign policy-making process of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its various elements were discussed within the framework of the views of the Republic’s founder, the Supreme Leader Khomeini. Second, the effect of Shiism within and on Iranian foreign policy and affected regions will be explored and discussed. This study reports that Shiism is the most significant determining element in Iran’s foreign policy following the 1979 Revolution, that the country’s foreign policy approaches are not entirely Shiism-oriented, that there are deviations from this strictly Shiite approach, and that Iran’s foreign policy also includes realpolitik approaches.
