Práticas decoloniais no ensino de Língua e Literaturas
Authors: Russell Eduardo Silva , Souza Maria Inˆês Galvão Flores Marcondes de
Published: November 2024

Este artigo baseia-se em uma pesquisa que analisa práticas pedagógicas decoloniais adotadas por professores(as) de Língua Portuguesa e Literatura na educação básica, abrangendo tanto a rede pública, quanto a privada no contexto educacional brasileiro. O foco da análise está em estratégias que desafiam abordagens tradicionais, como a sequenciação cronológica dos estilos literários. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que utilizou questionários e entrevistas semiestruturadas como instrumentos de coleta de dados. O recorte da pesquisa foi direcionado a professores(as) com formação avançada, que atuam predominantemente no Ensino Fundamental e Médio. Estes(as) docentes, selecionados(as) com base em seu alinhamento com a epistemologia decolonial, demonstraram, por meio de um questionário específico, incorporar perspectivas decoloniais em suas práticas, promovendo uma educação que transcende o eurocentrismo e desafia estruturas estabelecidas. As conclusões revelam a criação de alternativas ao ensino de Língua e Literatura, promovendo práticas pedagógicas críticas e inclusivas de caráter decolonial. Além disso, o estudo examina como estas práticas contribuem para a formação de alunos(as) conscientes e críticos(as) em relação a questões sociais e culturais, propondo uma reconfiguração do ensino de Língua e Literatura para refletir uma abordagem mais contemporânea e diversificada, pautada na lógica subversiva da decolonialidade.
Pollen Morphology of Cotoneaster (Rosaceae) Species in Türkiye and Its Systematic Significance
Authors: Seylan Serap Işik , Aydin Zübeyde Uğurlu , Dönmez Ali A.
Published: November 2024

Pollen morphology of 14 specimens from all nine Turkish native species along with one undescribed species of Cotoneaster was examined by light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The most frequent pollen types are trizonocolporate and tetracolporate, respectively and they occur together. Moreover, trisyncolporate, 3-parasyncolporate, 4-parasyncolporate, and pentacolporate pollen grains were observed in Cotoneaster for the first time in this study. Trizonocolporate pollen grains are radially symmetrical, isopolar, 22.5–35 × 26.25–42.5 μm in size and suboblate in shape. The amb is triangular, except C. integerrimus, which has a circular outline. Two endoaperture types can be distinguished. One is rectangular/square, the other is circular (endopore) and present only in C. integerrimus, C. melanocarpus and C. tomentosus. The exine pattern can be divided into two types, namely striate-perforate and rugulate-perforate. The quantitative pollen characteristics were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and all pollen features were considered for hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Principal component analysis revealed that colpus width, endoaperture length, and endoaperture width are the most powerful metrical pollen traits in Cotoneaster identification. According to hierarchical cluster analysis, pollen traits enable division of Cotoneaster into two subgenera. The present study provides insights into pollen morphology of Cotoneaster, as well as its use for taxonomic purposes.
Frazemy (zapożyczone jednostki wielowyrazowe) w języku radzieckiej prasy polskojęzycznej (przykłady na materiale „Głosu Radzieckiego” z 1939 r.)
Authors: Ławrynow Daria
Published: November 2024

The paper presents examples of phrasemes, taken from a Soviet newspaper “Głos Radziecki” from 1939. The author analysed phrasemes which are loanwords from the Ukrainian or Russian languages. For the comparative analysis the author used the dictionary of the Polish, Ukrainian and Russian languages and also phraseological or historical dictionaries. The article presents specific qualities of Polish language in USSR. Some of the borrowings had structural or semantic character, moreover they were an adaptation or a literal translation of a foreign phrase, but sometimes there were also contaminations of several elements. Most of them were characteristic only of the Soviet Polish language presented in the local Soviet press.
Wskaźnik ilościowego bogactwa słownictwa jako element leksykalnej charakterystyki współczesnego polskiego reportażu książkowego
Authors: Ostrowska Katarzyna , Ruszkowski Marek
Published: November 2024

One of the most important parameters for characterizing the vocabulary of a text is the index of quantitative vocabulary richness (Ibog). The most frequently used indicator is developed by Jozef Mistrik: Ibog = (V – the number of different lexemes in the text, i.e. the text dictionary; N – text length, i.e. the number of all word forms). Using J. Mistrik’s formula (N – number of word forms, i.e. 10,000 from the beginning of each reportage, V – number of lexemes in each of these samples), Ibog was calculated for individual texts. The value of the indicator ranges between 5.2 (D. Rosiak, Ziarno i krew. Podróż śladami bliskowschodnich chrześcijan) and 6.8 (M. Janiszewski, Dom nad rzeką Loes). There is, therefore, a significant difference in the quantitative vocabulary richness index among the analyzed book reports, which amounts to as much as 1.6. It should be assumed that it results from the style of specific reportages, spanning between written and spoken Polish and between static and dynamic relationships. The average for the reportage Ibog ≈ 5.9. Therefore, due to the examined parameter, it is close to the humanistic scientific disciplines (literary, historical, linguistic works in which ranges between 5.4 and 6.1), which indicates a high lexical richness of book reportage.
Nazwy wyrobów cukierniczych w dawnym dyskursie reklamowym (z końca XIX i początku XX w.)
Authors: Pałka Patrycja
Published: November 2024

The aim of the paper is to describe the names of confectionery products used in advertising texts, such as price lists, posters, leaflets and inserts, from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The article adopts the methodology of research on the thematic division of vocabulary (see Witaszek-Samborska 2005, Batko-Tokarz 2019). The analysis proves that due to the specificity of the community of trading and advertising discourse and its communication practices, the discussed vocabulary requires a very broad approach to the thematic field of names of confectionery products, which includes both sweet and dessert dishes and drinks, as well as their ingredients, semi-finished products and additives. Moreover, the important role of centuries-old linguistic contacts was confirmed, which resulted in numerous loanwords in the field of culinary vocabulary (including the names of confectionery products). The paper also shows the multitude, diversity and function of collocations, in which confectionery vocabulary is used.

Z etymologii polskiej (5): bimber
Authors: Fałowski Adam
Published: November 2024

The article deals with the Polish word bimber, i.e. ‘alcohol of poor quality smoked illegally by home means with primitive equipment; samogon’. Its chronology, geography and etymology are presented in the paper. As concerns the origin of the word, the three most popular interpretations are discussed in the article, ultimately favouring the concept proposed by A. Bańkowski, who sees here the effect of a semantic change of the jargon bimber ‘watch’ > ‘samogon’. The author of the article adds more facts and information to the theory of the etymologist from Częstochowa from Russian and Ukrainian criminal jargons of the first half of the 19th century and focuses on the semantic nuances of a rather unusual change of meaning ‘watch’, ‘fine jewellery made of silver and gold’ > ‘samogon’.
Symetryczny czy niesymetryczny? Problemy w opisie frazeologicznych par aspektowych
Authors: Kosek Iwona
Published: November 2024

The article focuses on a few problems a researcher may encounter while analysing phraseological units which form aspectual pairs, obtained from text and lexicographical data. In the first as either symmetrical or asymmetrical in their aspect (forming an aspectual pair or not). In the second part, and in the summary, the provided examples and causes of the observed discrepancies are studied in greater detail. It appears that whether a phraseological unit forms an aspectual pair or not is decided by a number of semantic and grammatical factors. The status of particular units is individually decided. For a few such units [e.g., działać na kogoś jak (czerwona) płachta na byka (to make someone extremely angry, lit: to act like a red rag for a bull), kamień na kamieniu nie zostanie z czegoś (not one stone will be left standing, lit: there will be no stone left upon stone)], an emergence of an aspectual counterpart may be treated as an outcome of language evolution (from an imperfective form to both, perfective and imperfective forms). In the case of unclear aspectual symmetry, the status of such units will probably be decided by usage (frequency of use).
PENDEKATAN PERUBAHAN TINGKAH LAKU SISWA DALAM PERSPEKTIF AGAMA HINDU
Authors: Nanda Jaya Pratama I Gede , Ni Komang Sutriyanti
Published: November 2024

Changing behavior in students is one of the challenges for teachers who are professionals with the task of educating students apart from teaching and also transforming the knowledge possessed by a teacher in various fields. The changes in behavior that occur in today's students can be seen from the decline in morals which is accompanied by the lack of śraddha and devotion of students as religious people, especially those who are Hindu. The Vedas as the holy book of Hindus not only guide religious life but also provide guidance for the life of the people in various fields, one of which is in the scope of education. Vedic teachings have also provided guidelines for the relationship between teachers and students. Changes in student behavior from a Hindu religious perspective can lead to positive or negative actions. In classroom management, teachers must master the problem of changes in student behavior that lead to negative actions. In connection with this problem, this research examines approaches that can be applied by a teacher to change students' character in a positive direction from a Hindu religious perspective. This research is of a qualitative type with descriptive research methodology. The results of this research are that three approaches are by the Hindu religious perspective, namely: 1.) Authoritarian Approach; 2.) Emotional Approach; and 3.) Attitude Approach.

Surgical treatment of tuberculum sellae meningioma: A retrospective review of single institutional experience
Authors: Sidabutar Roland , Hermanto Yulius , Sutiono Agung Budi , Naibaho Guata , Faried Ahmad
Published: November 2024

Background:

Tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSMs) represent a distinct entity among intracranial meningiomas. Both transcranial approaches (TCAs) and endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) have provided neurosurgeons with options for managing these difficult tumors. Still, controversies persist regarding the selection criteria for the most optimal approach.

Methods:

The authors retrospectively reviewed 45 patients treated surgically for TSM between 2018 and 2023. The clinical reports of all subjects were assessed pre-and post-operatively, encompassing demographic information, clinical symptoms, imaging results, ophthalmological evaluations, operative details, and any complications.

Results:

A total of 45 patients were included in this study, with 21 patients undergoing EEAs and 24 TCAs. TSMs treated with EEA are smaller than TCA (P = 0.0014), less prevalent in optic canal invasion (P = 0.0291) and in arterial encasement (P = 0.0050), and have no lateral extension (P < 0.0001). The majority of patients (36/45) had visual improvement or stabilization following the surgery, with the rate of achieving gross total resection (GTR) was higher in the EEA group (17/21) than in the TCA group (9/24) (P = 0.0032). The mortality tends to be higher in the TCA group and is related to arterial encasement, although statistically insignificant.

Conclusion:

Both traditional TCAs and EEAs offer options for the surgical management of TSM, each with its advantages and limitations. Based on our experiences, several factors (lateral extension and arterial encasement) may guide the suitable approach, and multidisciplinary considerations, with the overarching goals of achieving maximal tumor resection and minimizing postoperative complications.
Massive intratumoral hemorrhage following ventriculoperitoneal shunting procedure in an 8-year-old boy: A case report
Authors: Wibowo Riky Novriansyah , Suryaningtyas Wihasto , Parenrengi Muhammad Arifin
Published: November 2024

Background:

Pineal region tumors comprise 0.4% of all central nervous system tumors in adults and 2.8% in children aged up to 19 years. Pineal gland tumors exhibit histological variability and necessitate a multidisciplinary approach. The first step in managing hydrocephalus is to treat it with either endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) or a shunt surgery.

Case Description:

We present a case of a child with a massive intratumoral hemorrhage located in the pineal region. An 8-year-old boy with a suspected germinoma in the pineal area accompanying noncommunicating hydrocephalus underwent a right ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedure. He experienced a sudden decline of consciousness following the procedure. The subsequent imaging showed an extensive hyperdense lesion within the brain ventricles, indicating intratumoral hemorrhage. Given that intratumoral hemorrhage in pineocytoma following the placement of ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery is uncommon, it is a significant factor contributing to morbidity and mortality. It should be considered when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion is performed before a craniotomy.

Conclusion:

A hypothesis suggests that changes in CSF flow after diverting CSF can be the main trigger for intratumoral hemorrhage although uncommon. In this study, we present our experience with our patients and provide a comprehensive evaluation of the existing literature.
Microwave radiofrequencies, 5G, 6G, graphene nanomaterials: Technologies used in neurological warfare
Authors: Deruelle Fabien
Published: November 2024

Background:

Scientific literature, with no conflicts of interest, shows that even below the limits defined by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, microwaves from telecommunication technologies cause numerous health effects: neurological, oxidative stress, carcinogenicity, deoxyribonucleic acid and immune system damage, electro-hypersensitivity. The majority of these biological effects of non-thermal microwave radiation have been known since the 1970s.

Methods:

Detailed scientific, political, and military documents were analyzed. Most of the scientific literature comes from PubMed. The other articles (except for a few) come from impacted journals . The rare scientific documents that were not peer reviewed were produced by recognized scientists in their fields. The rest of the documentation comes from official sources: political (e.g., European Union and World Health Organization), military (e.g., US Air Force and NATO), patents, and national newspapers.

Results:

(1) Since their emergence, the authorities have deployed and encouraged the use of wireless technologies (2G, 3G, 4G, WiFi, WiMAX, DECT, Bluetooth, cell phone towers/masts/base stations, small cells, etc.) in full awareness of their harmful effects on health. (2) Consequences of microwave radiation from communication networks are comparable to the effects of low-power directed-energy microwave weapons, whose objectives include behavioral modification through neurological (brain) targeting. Above 20 gigahertz, 5G behaves like an unconventional chemical weapon. (3) Biomedical engineering (via graphene-based nanomaterials) will enable brain-computer connections, linked wirelessly to the Internet of Everything through 5G and 6G networks (2030) and artificial intelligence, gradually leading to human-machine fusion (cyborg) before the 2050s.

Conclusion:

Despite reports and statements from the authorities presenting the constant deployment of new wireless communication technologies, as well as medical research into nanomaterials, as society’s ideal future, in-depth research into these scientific fields shows, above all, an objective linked to the current cognitive war. It could be hypothesized that, in the future, this aim will correspond to the control of humanity by machines.
Diabetic distress – Role of sudarshan kriya yoga in managing the emotional burden
Authors: Mendon Shilpa Bharat
Published: November 2024

Background:

Although an alarming number of diabetes mellitus patients suffer from diabetes-related distress, little has been done to offer a solution to eliminate this unique, often hidden emotional burden. Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY), a unique breathing technique developed by the Art of Living Organization, has been studied in persons living with diabetes (PWD).

Objective:

The objective of this study was to undertake a narrative review of clinical studies of SKY’s role in emotional diabetic distress and quality of life (QOL) parameters in PWD.

Methods:

Keyword searches of Medline and PubMed database.

Results:

Four clinical studies have studied the effect of SKY practice on quality-of-life parameters in PWD. Analysis of the results reveals that SKY practice can improve QOL, relieve anxiety and depression, and improve dietary practices and medication adherence in PWD.

Conclusion:

Diabetes distress (DD) takes a toll on motivation for self-care and increases the chances of diabetes complications and related mortality. There is an urgent need to screen, prevent, and treat DD. SKY practice is an effective and easy way to manage DD and must, therefore, be taught to PWD with the goal of optimizing health outcomes and health-related QOL.

Published: November 2024

La conservación de la vegetación en ambientes urbanos, especialmente de los pastizales, es una problemática poco abordada, pero de gran relevancia ecológica y social. En este artículo proponemos un debate abierto sobre la importancia de los pastizales urbanos y periurbanos, los desafíos para conservar su biodiversidad y las implicancias socioecológicas asociadas. Para ello, nos basamos en relevamientos de diversidad vegetal en cinco pastizales urbanos de la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (RMBA), donde organizaciones socioambientales comprometidas participan en su conservación. Primero, exploramos las problemáticas de los pastizales, la definición de pastizal urbano y sus distintas acepciones en la literatura, así como la percepción y la valoración de la sociedad de estos espacios. Sintetizamos los beneficios que los pastizales urbanos aportan a la sociedad, incluyendo la conservación de la biodiversidad, la recreación y la educación ambiental. Luego, describimos las características específicas de cinco áreas de pastizales en la RMBA destinadas a conservación. En estas áreas, a pesar de la fragmentación de la matriz urbana y la presencia de especies exóticas invasoras, persiste una proporción significativa de especies nativas representativas del pastizal pampeano, valiosas para la conservación de la biodiversidad urbana. Esto evidencia la importancia ecológica de los pastizales urbanos y la necesidad de generar estrategias efectivas para conservar y restaurar sus fragmentos. Finalmente, analizamos las ventajas y oportunidades que estos fragmentos representan para la región. Proponemos soluciones a las problemáticas identificadas, como implementar prácticas de manejo adecuadas para reducir la invasión de especies exóticas y promover la restauración de los pastizales.

Here we report the first observed coexistence of quantum spin wave excitation and single-molecule magnet behavior in a fluoride-bridged mixed chromium(III) and dysprosium(III) complex, namely Dy4Cr2(μ3-F)2(mdea)3(piv)10, which shows a large ferrimagnetic ground moment with restricted quantum tunneling gap (< 3.8 × 10−7 cm−1) up to nine levels, leading to an uniaxial magnetic anisotropic energy barrier of 12 cm−1 and opened hysteresis loop at 0.4 K. More importantly, spin wave excitation has been observed by using inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy, and the data can be well explained by the L&E-band theory with Δ/2 = 2.08 cm−1 and ε(q) = 2.5 cm−1, providing unambiguous evidence for spin wave excitations.

Authors: Purnima Purnima , Singh Prabhpreet
Published: November 2024

Herein, we have reported the design and synthesis of Perylene tetra-(alkoxycarbonyl) (PTAC) derivative PTE-EA functionalized with tetraoctyl ester chains at the peri-positions and an electron donating/recognition group 2-aminoethanol (2-AE) at the mono bay-position. PTE-EA acted as colorimetric (visual color change of the solution from light-purple to yellowish-green) and fluorescence turn-on sensing probe for the molecular recognition of Cu2+ in binary aqueous-organic mixtures. The incremental addition of Cu2+ to the solution of PTE-EA in HEPES:CH3CN (3:7, v/v, pH 7.3) showed decrease in the ICT absorption band at 536 with new blue shifted absorption band (Δλ = 76 nm) at 460 nm. Further complexation with Cu2+ result in the significant enhancement of the fluorescence intensity at 520 nm (λex = 490 nm) via inhibition of the acceptor-excited photo-induced electron transfer (a-PET) process from 2-AE to the electron-deficient perylene tetraoctyl ester core. PTE-EA showed its applicability as a colorimetric/fluorometric probe for the detection of Cu2+ by adopting two conventional photophysical mechanism viz. ICT and a-PET and demonstrated high sensitivity with nano-molar detection limits (colorimetric = 18 nM and fluorometric = 16 nM) and the complex PTE-EAꓵCu2+ showed high association constant 4.3x106 M. Further, increase in the size after complexation revealed by the DLS data. Additionally, the other derivative of PTAC as bay-functionalized mono-brominated PTE-II with strong inherent solid-state fluorescence explored for the development of latent fingerprints (LFPs) on common household surfaces and visualized in the daylight by using naked eyes and under 365 nm UV lamp and we successfully achieved 2nd level of information from the data.

Published: November 2024

Heavy metal contamination of food and water samples is a serious environmental and health problem that requires rapid and sensitive detection methods. In this study, we developed an enzyme-based nano biosensor for detecting heavy metals using sol-gel synthesis of selenium oxide nanoparticles and crude protease enzyme extract from chicken intestine. The biosensor works by measuring the change in temperature after dipping the biosensor in a sample, which reflects the interaction between the heavy metals and the enzyme. We tested our biosensor on five common heavy metal salts (chromic chloride, copper (II) sulfate, mercuric chloride, cadmium carbonate, and arsenic chloride) and observed different responses in terms of temperature change and color change. Our biosensor showed high efficiency and accuracy for detecting heavy metal contamination at 1% concentration, but it also had some limitations such as low selectivity and sensitivity. We suggested some potential improvements and applications of our biosensor, such as coupling it with electronic devicessuch as thermometer or modifying it with different enzymes or nanoparticles. Our biosensor has a wide range of applications for various industrial sectors, such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, waste water treatment, battery, paper, textile, coal, oil, leather, steel, thermal power, and dye intermediaries.
Meta-OTf-Substituted Diaryliodonium Salts Enabled Aryne 1,2,2'-Trifunctionalization via Thia-Fries and Aza-Claisen Rearrangements
Authors: Chu Lifeng , Chen Huangguan , Wang Limin , Han Jianwei
Published: November 2024

A novel cascade reaction involving thia-Fries and aza-Claisen rearrangements has been developed using meta-trifluoromethanesulfonate-substituted diaryliodonium salts, featuring the generation of aryne intermediates. In contrast to previously reported methods that achieve trisubstitution on a single aryne ring, our approach enables 1,2,2'-trisubstitution across two distinct aromatic rings of diarylamines. The reaction efficiently forms C-N, C-S, and C-C bonds at adjacent positions on each aromatic ring in a sequential manner.
Scaling Relations in Oxygen Reduction Reaction Electrocatalysis

Published: November 2024

Scaling relations represent a fundamental limitation in electrocatalysis, particularly for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which underpins energy conversion technologies such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Improving the activity of ORR catalysts requires overcoming the scaling relations, i.e. correlations between adsorption energies of reaction intermediates. In this review, we summarise the existing literature by providing a critical meta-analysis, deriving new theoretical principles, and proposing a taxonomy of strategies for manipulating these relations. By addressing both historical foundations and future possibilities, this work redefines how to conceptualize and address ORR catalysis challenges.
Water dissociation on NiOOH in alkaline water electrolysis improves with increasing alkali metal cation size

Published: November 2024

The activity of nickel-based electrocatalysts towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is influenced by the presence of alkali metal cations in the electrolyte. Since the underlying mechanism is not fully resolved yet, we conducted a study combining Raman, FTIR, and photoelectron spectroscopies. We found that an improved OER activity correlates with structural changes of the catalyst. The cations are adsorbed in increasing amounts in the order Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Cs+, opening the layers of the NiOOH layered double-hydroxide structure and promoting a transition from a more β-like to a more γ-like NiOOH phase. In addition, the NiOOH surface gets increasingly deprotonated with increasing alkali cation size. We stabilized the activated catalyst materials in ultra-high vacuum and exposed them to controlled doses of H2O to analyse the catalyst-electrolyte interface in a quasi in-situ approach with photoelectron spectroscopy. Going from Li+ to Cs+, more OH groups are found on the surface after the exposure to H2O, demonstrating that such structural changes are facilitating the dissociation of H2O. As the dissociation of H2O is a crucial step in many OER mechanisms, its modified efficiency can be correlated with the observed trends in OER activity in LiOH, NaOH, KOH, and CsOH.
The genesis of OH-stretching vibrational circular dichroism in chiral molecular crystals

Published: November 2024

The stretching vibration of hydroxyl groups, ν(OH), appears with a strong absorption in the 3 µm region of the infrared (IR) spectrum. In chiral molecular crystals, also vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) can be observed for this band, which is demonstrated by the example of two chiral alcohols crystallising with space groups P2_1 and P3_1 21, respectively. Measurements demonstrate that the VCD bands of the ν(OH) mode show an increased fine structure in comparison to the broad infrared absorption bands. In a computational study, the chiroptical signal can entirely be traced back to non-local terms emerging from the supramolecular environment, determined by the hydrogen-bonded network involving the hydroxyl groups. In turn, the VCD of individual molecules in the crystal related to the ν(OH) mode is almost zero. It can thus be concluded that the entire VCD band in the 3 µm region is determined by the chirality of the crystal, but not by that of the molecules. Further analysis reveals that while vibrational coupling mainly arises from the hydrogen-bonded network, the VCD is strongly influenced by the weaker interactions and long-range order. This highlights the significance of the OH stretching mode as a sensitive probe of supramolecular chirality.
Thermodynamically Favoured Bulk O2 Formation on Charging in LiCoO2 and LiNiO2 Cathode Materials

Published: November 2024

The formation of O2 molecules within the bulk of LiCoO2 and LiNiO2 cathode materials during charging has been reported experimentally, but the validity and significance of these observations remain debated. Using density functional theory calculations, we demonstrate that at high states of charge, layered LiNiO2 and LiCoO2 are thermodynamically unstable with respect to both O2 gas release and internal decomposition forming bulk-confined O2 molecules, indicating that, from a thermodynamic perspective, the oxygen chemistry of these stoichiometric layered oxides parallels that of Li-rich oxides, and may likewise limit their long-term cycling stability.
Mechanometallaphotoredox catalysis: utilizing increased throughput mechanochemistry to develop air-tolerant solvent-minimized metallaphotoredox dual catalysis reactions
Authors: Millward Francis , Zysman-Colman Eli
Published: November 2024

Photocatalysis as a tool used in organic synthesis has predominantly relied on the use of solvents, be it under homogeneous or heterogeneous conditions. In particular, metallaphotoredox catalysis reactions typically use toxic organic solvents such as DMA and DMF. Herein, we demon-strate how mechanophotocatalysis, the synergistic union of mechanochemistry and photocatalysis, is compatible with this class of dual catalysis reactions involving both photocatalyst and nickel(II) co-catalysts. Using ball milling, these mechanistically complex reactions can be conducted in the ab-sence of bulk solvent and under air, affording high yielding aryl aminations and C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross-couplings. These advances are facilitated by the introduction of a novel reaction vessel design for conducting four mechanophotocatalysis reactions simultaneously. This works highlights the promise of solvent-minimized photocatalysis reactions, demonstrating that in these examples bulk solvent is redundant, thus significantly reducing this waste stream.
Lessons Learned from a Cooperative Box Experiment with Wild Baboons

Published: November 2024

Choosing the right partners can mean the difference between success or failure at a cooperative task. Several studies in captivity have explored the extent to which animals can identify characteristics that make individuals better or worse at completing a joint task and whether animals use such information when choosing partners, with mixed evidence. Our study set out to test if free-ranging animals chose to cooperate with partners that provided a greater payoff in a cooperative task under natural conditions. We presented wild Guinea baboons (Papio papio) with paired boxes that yielded food only if operated simultaneously. The baboons could freely choose between potential partners that varied in their ability to extract food rewards from the boxes. During test trials, the baboons repeatedly solved the two-box task, though in a manner that suggests they failed to grasp the partner's role. Instead of varied partner choice, two males each monopolized access to one set of paired boxes and pulled with whichever partners sat next to them. Monopolization of the boxes did not extend to the food reward, which males allowed juveniles, females, and other males to feed on. Unfortunately, we were forced to terminate our study after only three days because the baboons behaved too aggressively toward researchers after test trials. Though we were unsuccessful in running our study to completion, our experiences can be useful for those planning cooperative field experiments in the future.
