Exploring the Customer Journey of Voice Commerce: A Research Agenda
Authors: Böhm Eva , Eggert Andreas , Garnefeld Ina , Holzmüller Hartmut H. , Schaefers Tobias , Steinhoff Lena , Woisetschläger David M.
Published: November 2022

Voice commerce creates unprecedented opportunities for consumers and vendor firms to interact, engage, and relate. With artificial intelligence-powered voice assistants, consumers can make technology-mediated purchases without using their tactile senses, which represents a new space for commercial interactions. Drawing on the customer journey as an organizing framework, this article proposes a structured research agenda, in an attempt to shed light on the bright side effects of voice commerce while also acknowledging concerns for consumer protection and society in general. Voice assistants can enhance every stage of the purchase journey, yet their use might have negative consequences for customer relationships. In the prepurchase stage, voice assistants can act as information curators or manipulators. In the purchase stage, voice assistants can adopt roles as shopping concierges or impediments. In the postpurchase and usage stage, voice assistants can become trusted relationship partners or hostile intruders in consumers’ lives.
The Constitutional Court of Turkey
Authors: Steinsdorff Silvia von , Göztepe Ece , Abad Andrade Maria , Petersen Felix
Published: November 2022

This interdisciplinary study portrays the Constitutional Court of Turkey, which has asserted itself for 60 years in a political system marked by repeated episodes of authoritarianism. The book reconstructs the incomplete institutionalisation of the court as well as essential dogmatic lines of conflict and methodological inconsistencies in its jurisprudence. The authors’ detailed analysis and documentation of fifty key decisions proves the court's general commitment to the rule of law and democracy, but it equally highlights the glaring discrepancies and contradictions in its decisions. As a result, this seminal work provides conceptual insights into the role of constitutional courts in the grey zone between democracy and autocracy far beyond the Turkish case.
Factors Affecting the Acceptance of E-commerce in Hospitals: A Narrative Review
Authors: Ardalan Shahrzad Ashja , Mirzaei Abasat
Published: November 2022

Context: The global use of the Internet has expanded e-commerce as a tangible representation of the information and communication technology (ICT) revolution in all industries. Like other sectors, e-commerce is essential in the healthcare sector for meeting patients’ increasing demands and providing high-quality and cost-effective healthcare services at clinics, hospitals, and other healthcare centers. Objectives: We investigated the factors affecting the acceptance of e-commerce in healthcare centers and hospitals. Evidence Acquisition: In this narrative review, articles indexed in PubMed, Emerald, Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar and published from 2010 to 2021 were searched using the “e-commerce”, “healthcare”, and “hospital” keywords. Inclusion criteria encompassed being conducted in the field of e-commerce in medical and health centers in Iran and the world and published from 2010 to the end of December 2021. Studies in which the role of e-commerce was inconspicuous, those that were irrelevant to healthcare centers, studies failing to note effective research parameters in abstracts, and finally, scientific sources lacking full text were excluded. Finally, ten relevant papers were chosen and analyzed. Results: Based on our findings, today's technologies, such as e-commerce, have influenced the quality of healthcare and investments in the healthcare industry. Besides, high-ranking managers of healthcare centers and hospitals should support the establishment and deployment of e-commerce by providing appropriate facilities to implement such systems, e.g., adequate hardware and software needed to install and efficiently run the system. Conclusions: In this way, the positive effects of e-commerce were shown in all aspects of healthcare centers, including improvements in healthcare services’ quality, enhanced financial performance, and facilitated service provision. It is suggested that health centers provide adequate hardware and software to easily install and run the E-commerce system and other e-health programs so that medical personnel can more easily accept these technologies.

Authors: Bielich Mário , Slobodová Simona
Published: November 2022

Príspevok prináša prvé informácie o druhej a tretej sezóne archeologického výskumu Plaveckého hradu v rokoch 2018 a 2020. Sondy 1C/2018 a 1D/2018 boli situované v priestore vstupnej mostovej konštrukcie do horného hradu, kde doteraz stáli relikty dvoch mostových pilierov. Počas výskumu sa podarilo identifikovať ďalšie štyri mostové piliere. Táto konštrukcia vznikla v druhej polovici 16. storočia a postupne bola prestavovaná v 17. storočí. Sondy 2/2018 a 4/2018 sme vytýčili v suterénnych priestoroch severného paláca, ktorý vznikol v 15. storočí a bol prestavovaný v 16. a 17. storočí. V sonde 2 sme identifikovali vstupnú zárubňu a prah vstupu do pivnice. Sonda 5/2018 sa nachádzala v bránovej veži pri západnej hradbe horného hradu. Sonda 6/2020 bola situovaná v deštrukčnom kuželi južne od parkánového múru. Deštrukčný kužeľ vznikol v priebehu 19. a 20. storočia, keď už bol hrad neobývaný. Príspevok podáva základné informácie o skúmaných archeologických situáciách a prezentuje prvé výsledky výskumu materiálnej kultúry vyšších spoločenských vrstiev v období novoveku (druhá polovica 16. až polovica 18. storočia), keď hrad vlastnili rody Balašovcov, Bakičovcov, Fuggerovcov a Pálffyovcov.
Archeozoologický výskum zrúcaniny hradu Čeklís v Bernolákove
Authors: Šedivá Mária , Choma Igor , Farkaš Zdeněk , Obuch Ján , Sabol Martin
Published: November 2022

Archeozoologický výskum v rámci stredoveku je aj v súčasnosti na Slovensku stále skôr okrajový. Doposiaľ získané údaje naznačujú význam hovädzieho dobytka, ale taktiež nemalý význam svine domácej a malých prežúvavcov. Analýza pomerne veľkého súboru osteologických zvyškov zo zrúcaniny hradu Čeklís v obci Bernolákovo priniesla podobné výsledky. Zastúpenie jednotlivých taxónov potvrdilo vedúcu úlohu hovädzieho dobytka v rámci mäsitej časti stravy obyvateľov hradu. Nemalý význam mala tiež konzumácia bravčového, ale aj jahňacieho či baranieho mäsa. Nezanedbateľné bolo tiež zastúpenie zveriny či rôznych druhov vtákov. Osteologické pozostatky obojživelníkov a rýb boli zriedkavé, zrejme kvôli spôsobu ich získavania. Naproti tomu bola pomerne častá malakofauna. Vysoká fragmentárnosť a časté intencionálne stopy poukazujú na kuchynský pôvod osteologického súboru.
Radiouhlíkové datování jako možnost identifikace předklášterního osídlení v Plasích

Published: November 2022

Na příkladu výsledků záchranného archeologického výzkumu realizovaného v letech 2014–2017 u kostela sv. Václava v Plasích se studie se snaží přiblížit, jaké jsou možnosti datování zkoumaného pohřebiště v případě, kdy takřka absolutně absentují písemné prameny a chronologicky citlivé artefakty jsou využitelné poměrně marginálně. Jedinou možností pro chronologické zařazení tak bylo radiouhlíkové datování, které mělo prokázat, zda odkryté pohřebiště mohlo souviset s předklášterním osídlením této lokality zmíněným v zakládací listině plaského kláštera.

Modular climbing robot design with automated vision-based defect classification
Authors: Oyekola Peter , Syed Shoeb
Published: November 2022

In the examination of critical infrastructure for failure, common problems faced are restricted access to the inspection site, size and geometry constraints, cost, and extended inspection period. Facilities such as marine vessels, petrochemical pressure vessels, rail lines, and airplane fuselage, are regularly inspected. Mostly manual techniques with sensors like cameras and non-destructive testing kits are usually employed in detecting structural defects such as cracks and corrosion which constitute the central part of the cost and time spent. This paper, therefore, describes the design of a modular climbing robot for industrial inspection of structures. The main aim of improving and automating defect classification and identification is achieved by applying computer vision with an embedded wireless camera. YOLOv4 machine learning algorithm is implemented to identify and classify surface cracks and corrosion. The robot design combines a set of 6-DOF modular arm and tracked locomotion system. Embedded magnets are integrated into the design to aid navigation on vertical ferromagnetic structures and uneven surfaces. The final design shows that the robot can successfully navigate ferromagnetic structures, detect defects, and climb over moderately sized obstacles without loss of adhesion. This ensures performance in unfriendly and inaccessible environments, reducing costs and inspection time considerably.
Development of wind-solar maps in Aqaba, Jordan as potential sources for power generation
Authors: Al-Ghriybah Mohanad , Hissein Didane
Published: November 2022

The potential for free, clean, and limitless energy from renewable sources has long been recognized. However, because of a lack of thorough wind and solar maps, expertise, and public understanding of the significance of these resources in the country, Jordan continues to rely on non-renewable sources for its energy needs. The main objective of this study is to analyze the potential of solar and wind energies as renewable resources for power generation. Weibull distribution function with two parameters and the Angstrom-Prescott model, respectively, are used in this study to offer estimates of the wind and solar energy in the coastal city of Jordan, Aqaba during a five-year period. According to the assessment of wind potential, the annual means of the shape and scale parameters at 10 m for the studied station varied between (1.65 to 1.73) and (4.42 to 4.86), respectively. During the dry season, the wind speed was seen to be stronger, while during the wet season, it was seen to be slower. The maximum power density is found to be in September with values of 622.81 W/m2 and 192.74 W/m2 for the elevations 80 m and 10 m, respectively. According to the forecast for solar potential in this area, the city's global solar radiation is promising for the production of solar energy. The maximum global solar radiation is found to be 8.3 KWh/m2 in June. Results also demonstrated that Aqaba city is suitable for wind and solar power generation.
Internet behavior and satisfaction with sleep, health, quality of life and physical activity self-efficacy as components of subjective well-being: Findings from an online survey
Authors: Guza Endi , Gao Lingling , Lippke Sonia
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to examine the relationship between internet use (constructive and health-related internet behavior, health app usages), physical activity self-efficacy, and subjective well-being (quality of life, health satisfaction, sleep satisfaction). Participants (N = 758) were recruited to participate in an online survey. One-way MANOVA and multiple regression analyses were used to examine the hypotheses. Results showed that internet use was negatively associated with sleep satisfaction, r(738) = -.127, p < .001. Individuals who use health-related apps for movement/fitness, t(689.900) = -3.354, p < .001, nutrition, t(300.075) = -2.434, p = .016, information for self-diagnosis, t(199.768) = -2.321, p = .021, and contact with doctors, t(90.630) = -2.035, p = .045, have higher PA self-efficacy than those who do not. Overall, there was a statistically significant difference in subjective well-being based on a participants’ constructive internet use, F(28, 2590) = 1.97, p = .002, with quality of life (p = .006) and sleep satisfaction (p = .025) being statistically significant components of subjective well-being. This paper discusses the important theoretical and practical implications regarding the development of health-related apps and online well-being interventions which are significantly relevant to the well-being literature.

Authors: Sohn Sang-Hee , Son Seongbo , Seo Wonyeong
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to develop an e-mentoring youth financial education program and verify its effectiveness for promoting financial empowerment and establishing financial capabilities among independent consumers. A four-session, eight-hour “Youth Financial Empowerment Mentoring Program” was developed. This program dealt with financial literacy and financial psychology factors in an integrated fashion. We used the nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design to evaluate the program’s effectiveness. Specifically, by using Zoom, a virtual conference platform, four mentors of college students were trained for four sessions over two weeks. Meanwhile, four groups were formed with four mentors and 18 high school mentees to implement a four-week e-mentoring program. As a result of the analysis of covariance, significant differences were found between the two groups in all financial psychology factors and financial literacy variables. In addition, the score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. As a result of qualitative evaluation through FGI for mentees and mentors, mentees experienced positive changes in financial behavior, beliefs, attitudes, and personal relationships, as well as increased financial knowledge. Meanwhile, mentors experienced positive changes in their introspection into financial behavior and consumption. Considering these results, we can conclude that this program effectively induces participants to learn and reflect on their initiative, which is in line with the original goal of “improving financial empowerment”.
Teletrabajo y conciliación: ¿una trampa para las mujeres?
Authors: Sánchez-Aragón Anna , Belzunegui-Eraso Ángel , Erro-Garcés Amaya , Pastor-Gosálbez Inma
Published: November 2022

La situación de emergencia sanitaria provocada por la COVID-19 ha reabierto con especial vigor el debate sobre el impacto del teletrabajo en las condiciones de trabajo, así como en las posibilidades que ofrece para la conciliación. Dado el alto nivel de implantación del teletrabajo entre mujeres, se hace necesario reflexionar sobre el impacto que el uso de esta modalidad de trabajo productivo pueda tener sobre ellas y sobre otros aspectos de la vida cotidiana. La extensión del trabajo a distancia lleva implícita una amenaza para las mujeres en la medida en que el teletrabajo puede impactar de forma especialmente negativa en el desempeño laboral de las mujeres y, a su vez, esto pondría en riesgo los avances conseguidos durante las últimas décadas en materia de igualdad de género. Se hace necesaria la regulación del trabajo a distancia para evitar convertir el teletrabajo en una trampa que haga recaer, aún más, sobre las mujeres, el peso de la conciliación.

Teletrabajo en evolución: una aproximación narrativa
Authors: Sabadell i Bosch Mar
Published: November 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es ofrecer una elemental información sobre el teletrabajo y desarrollar, de forma paralela, unas reflexiones en torno a esta realidad económica y al papel de su regulación jurídica. Desde hace algunos años venimos observando un proceso de transformación de las bases nucleares sobre las que hemos construido nuestras relaciones laborales. Es resultado de la digitalización, que desafía la lógica de la concentración física y desvincula la actividad de un emplazamiento único y estático. En otras palabras, el teletrabajo viene de serie con lo digital. Sin embargo, solo cuando su avance ha sido brusco y de alcance general hemos apreciado el cambio y ya podemos intuir una ruptura del modelo de trabajo tradicional. Este artículo explora el progreso evolutivo del teletrabajo, a partir de dos circunstancias protagonistas de su impulso, la digitalización y la pandemia por la COVID-19; lo observa desde una doble dimensión, organizativa y normativa, y sintetiza los principales cambios en la narrativa sobre el teletrabajo, para contribuir a la reflexión sobre el trabajo de la sociedad del futuro.
Osmotic dehydration of pineapple slices pre-treated by electroplasmolysis: Determination of color change kinetics
Authors: Rayman Ergün Ahsen , Tekgül Yeliz
Published: November 2022

The pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merrill) is a commercial tropical fruit belonging to the Bromeliaceae family. It is rich in organic acids (citric acid, malic acid), minerals (Fe, Mg, Ca, P, K, and Zn), and vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, and B6). Osmotic dehydration is a water removal technique by immersing the fruit in a hypertonic solution to obtain minimally processed food with a longer shelf life and high nutritional value. It can also be considered as a pretreatment that reduces the required energy inputs for convective drying and freeze-drying. Electroplasmolysis is an electrical method that is based on the growth of pores in cell membranes. It has an important effect on the dehydration and extraction processes as it increases the cell permeability and mass transfer coefficients of plant tissues. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of electroplasmolysis pretreatment on color change kinetics in the osmotic dehydration of pineapple slices. Electroplasmolysis was applied by a drum‐type electroplasmolyzator with 80 V/cm voltage gradient for 60 s. The osmotic dehydration process was carried out with sucrose solutions of 40, 50 and 60 ◦Bx at 20 ◦C. The processing time was 6 h in all osmotic treatments. This time was determined in preliminary experiments. Osmotically dehydrated samples with elelctroplasmolysis pretreatment and the samples without electroplasmolysis application were compared via L, a, and b values during 8 hours. The results of the study showed that fresh pineapple samples had higher L, a, and b values than both electroplasmolysis treated and untreated samples. The color values of all the samples, with and without electroplasmolysis pretreatment, decreased parallel to time increase after the osmotic dehydration process. L, a, and b values of the samples which osmotically dehydrated at 60 ◦Bx solution were higher than the color values of the samples which were dehydrated at 40 and 50 ◦Bx solutions. Lightness and yellowness were found higher in the electroplasmolysis group than the other groups. The zero-order and first-order kinetic models were used to explain the color change kinetics and it was observed that L, a, and b were fitted to a first-order kinetic model.
Numerical simulation of soda ash drying process in pneumatic drying system with industrial scale
Authors: Papraćanin Edisa , Avdić Nisad , Đozić Abdel , Karić Ervin
Published: November 2022

In this paper a mathematical model for the soda ash drying process in a pneumatic dryer was presented. The model presents a macroscopic aspect of the drying process, for a two-phase, gas-solid system. The model is based on mass and heat transfer between the gas phase and the particle, movement of air and particles through the system, and geometric characteristics of the drying system (fan, air heater, pneumatic dryer, and cyclone). The effects of the process parameters, such as airflow, inlet air temperature, and relative humidity, temperature at the inlet of the dryer, etc., have been studied by solving the model. Also, the model was tested for different values of the capacity of wet soda and different values of the operating parameters of the heating medium. The model was implemented in MATLAB and solved with a nonlinear equations solver. Data obtained by the model were compared with industrial pneumatic dryer data for drying wet soda ash particles with good agreement.

We introduce new kinds of k-Pell and k-Pell–Lucas numbers related to the distance between numbers by a recurrence relation and show their relation to the (k,r)-Pell and (k,r)-Pell–Lucas numbers. These sequences differ both according to the value of the natural number k and the value of a new parameter r in the definition of this distance. We give several properties of these sequences. In addition, we establish the generating functions, some important identities, as well as the sum of the terms of the generalized (k,r)-Pell and (k,r)-Pell–Lucas numbers. Furthermore, we indicate another way to obtain the generalized (k,r)-Pell and (k,r)-Pell–Lucas sequences from the generating function, in connection to graphs.

Theta and gamma oscillations in the medial temporal lobe are suggested to play a critical role for human memory formation via establishing synchrony in neural assemblies. Arguably, such synchrony facilitates efficient information transfer between neurons and enhances synaptic plasticity, both of which benefit episodic memory formation. However, to date little evidence exists from humans that would provide direct evidence for such a specific role of theta and gamma oscillations for episodic memory formation. Here, we investigate how oscillations shape the temporal structure of neural firing during memory formation in the medial temporal lobe. We measured neural firing and local field potentials in human epilepsy patients via micro-wire electrode recordings to analyze whether brain oscillations are related to co-incidences of firing between neurons during successful and unsuccessful encoding of episodic memories. The results show that phase-coupling of neurons to faster theta and gamma oscillations correlates with co-firing at short latencies (~20–30 ms) and occurs during successful memory formation. Phase-coupling at slower oscillations in these same frequency bands, in contrast, correlates with longer co-firing latencies and occurs during memory failure. Thus, our findings suggest that neural oscillations play a role for the synchronization of neural firing in the medial temporal lobe during the encoding of episodic memories.

Toda sociedade se utiliza de meios para transmitir seus costumes e conhecimentos às suas gerações futuras, sendo um deles a educação. Entretanto, a educação não deve ser vista apenas como uma transmissão de patrimônio cultural, mas sim como um processo contínuo e que perdura a vida toda. Quando se aborda o atual século, esse fato se torna primordial pois, agora, as oportunidades surgem para aqueles trabalhadores que estão altamente preparados para responder a situações inovadoras. Assim, para manterem-se ativos, os profissionais devem se converter em empreendedores, sendo neles desenvolvidos o perfil empreendedor por meio de uma educação profissional de qualidade. A educação de qualidade prepara as pessoas para a futuridade ao construir conhecimentos, habilidades, perspectivas, atitudes e valores para transformar as sociedades atuais em sociedades mais sustentáveis. Tamanha é a relevância do tema para os tempos vindouros da humanidade que, em 2015, foi criada uma agenda, desenvolvida pela Cúpula das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável composta por dezessete objetivos, em direção a mudar o mundo. Um desses objetivos intitula-se de educação de qualidade e ele é decomposto em sete metas. Dentre essas metas, é abordado que os países devem ampliar, na sua população, o número de jovens e adultos que tenham habilidades para o empreendedorismo. Diante disso, fica perceptível a importância dada ao desenvolvimento das características empreendedoras na população. Como as instituições de ensino superior são as responsáveis pela formação profissional das pessoas, elas possuem uma atuação fundamental nesse processo devendo, assim, serem transformadas em universidades empreendedoras.

Published: November 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo identificar elementos estratégicos que motivaram tomadas de decisões em uma rede de supermercado varejista, a partir do surgimento de dois tipos de concorrentes em suas imediações. Utilizou-se como método de análise comparativa a matriz SWOT, possibilitando realizar diagnósticos e cenários para delimitações estratégicas e de melhorias, na tentativa de propor soluções e vantagens competitivas. Através da realização de uma pesquisa empírica, com visitas in loco numa rede de varejo local e nos concorrentes localizados na cidade de Natal-RN, diagnosticando ações nos ambientes interno e externo, foi possível observar a existência de diferentes elementos estratégicos capazes de orientar e alinhar decisões de enfrentamento e vantagens competitivas. Dentre os elementos observáveis notou-se a necessidade contínua por capacitação dos trabalhadores oferecendo qualidade no atendimento, renovação estrutural das instalações físicas reafirmando uma vitrine padronizada da rede, automatização das atividades internas e de canais de fornecimento e distribuição, melhoria das embalagens e disponibilidade dos produtos e, por último, ampliação na interatividade com os clientes – inovações digitais. Embora a delimitação empírica seja insuficiente para generalização, entende-se que uma análise sob a perspectiva do consumidor faz-se necessário como estudos futuros.

Senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease arise from Aβ‐ and Cathepsin D‐enriched mixtures leaking out during intravascular haemolysis and microaneurysm rupture

Published: November 2022

Senile plaques are a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the mechanism underlying their generation remains unknown. Beta‐amyloid peptide (Aβ) is a major component of senile plaques. We analysed AD brain tissues with histochemistry, immunohistochemistry and fluorescence imaging to examine the neural, vascular or blood Aβ contribution to senile plaque development. We found little neural marker co‐expression with plaque Aβ, while co‐expression of blood markers, such as Haemin and ApoE, was abundant. The plaque cores were structured with vascular and glial proteins outside and blood metabolites inside, co‐localizing with a characteristic of Hoechst staining‐independent blue autofluorescence. Erythrocyte‐interacting Aβ is linked to coagulation, elevated calcium and blue autofluorescence, and it is associated with intravascular haemolysis, atherosclerosis, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, microaneurysm, and often with Cathepsin D co‐expression. We identified microaneurysms as major sites of amyloid formation. Our data suggest that senile plaques arise from Aβ‐ and Cathepsin D‐enriched mixtures leaking out during intravascular haemolysis and microaneurysm rupture.
Comparative Internal Pressure Evolution at Interfaces of Activated Carbon for Supercapacitors Containing Electrolytes Based on Linear and Cyclic Ammonium Tetrafluoroborate Salts in Acetonitrile
Authors: Nikiforidis Georgios , Phadke Satyajit , Anouti Mérièm
Published: November 2022

In this study, the real‐time increase in pressure of the accumulated gases at the electrode/electrolyte interface serves as a safety criterion for four conductive electrolytes comprising acetonitrile (ACN) and organic salts. They include tetrafluoroborate as an anion and cyclic 1,1‐dimethylpyrrolidinium (Pyr11+), spiro‐(1,1′)‐bipyrrolidinium (SBP+), acyclic methyl triethyl ammonium (Et3MeN+) or standard tetraethylammonium (Et4N+) as cations. The main focus lies on the SPBF4/ACN system. While the concentrated Pyr11BF4/ACN exhibits a minimal pressure evolution (≈25 Pa) under ambient conditions at 3.0 V, its electrochemical stability is inferior to SPBF4 at high operating voltage. The electrolytes with acyclic tetrafluoroborate salts (1.0 mol L−1) reveal a 20‐fold increase in pressure due to the weak salt‐ACN interactions and the subsequent high solvent evaporation. The pressure evolution at the interface of activated carbon/electrolyte in electrochemical double layer capacitor (EDLCs) is merely related to the operating voltage and cation nature, viz. Pyr11+ < SBP+ < Et4N+ < Et3MeN+. The fixed specific capacity of 109 F g−1, volumetric capacity of 76 F cm−3, and moderate gas generation (≈190 Pa at 3.0 V, that shifts to ≈400 Pa at 3.4 V) confirm the safe character of the SPBF4/ACN electrolyte for such energy storage devices.

Published: November 2022

Three‐dimensional aliphatic fused and bridged rings are key pharmacophores in drugs and bioactive natural products. Here, we reported an organocatalytic visible‐light induced dearomative cycloaddition of (hetero)arenes, with organic light‐emitting diode material 4CzIPN or readily accessible thioxanthone as photocatalyst. A series of cyclobutane‐fused polycyclic structures and bridged bicyclo scaffolds were prepared in reasonable yields (27–99% yield) with medium to excellent diastereoselectivity (1.4:1 to>20:1 dr), predictable regioselectivity, good functional group compatibilities and broad substrate scopes. The combination of experimental and computational studies supported the energy transfer pathways.

War in Ukraine: The rational “wait‐and‐see” mode of global food markets
Authors: Legrand Nicolas
Published: November 2022

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a major shock at the heart of the breadbasket of Europe at a time when global stocks are running short. With inelastic supply and demand for such basic goods and lack of inventories to cushion the shock, the basic economics of storage arbitrage explains the commodity price spikes needed to ration the war‐related supply shortage. In this paper, I show that sound policymaking in this context could rely on the rational expectations storage model to make sense of the chaotic price fluctuations. Empirical analysis of the unfolding commodity shock using a storage model lens suggests that, 3 months after the Russian invasion, the global food market switched into a “wait‐and‐see” mode, with price movements reflecting a loss in the size of the global share of caloric production from Ukraine.
Thiol‐Free E‐Selective Approach to Dithiacyclophanes via Ring‐Closing Metathesis
Authors: Kotha Sambasivarao , Gupta Naveen Kumar , Ansari Saima
Published: November 2022

Application of cyclophanes is well‐established in molecular recognition, supramolecular chemistry and material science. Here, we assembled novel [6,6], [8,6] and [6,3,3] dithiacyclophanes by using three facile steps involving potassium thioacetate, Grignard reagent and ring‐closing metathesis (RCM). This strategy provides E‐isomers of orthometa‐, orthopara‐, meta‐ and paradithiacyclophane derivatives selectively by RCM. Sulfur‐based precursors (dithiadiformyl compound) are prepared from bromomethyl benzaldehydes instead of thiols as starting materials. The structure of dithiacyclophanes are confirmed unambiguously by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies and the distinguishing structural features in isomers of cyclophanes are discussed.

The rampant dendrites and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) resulting from the turbulent interfacial evolution at the anode/electrolyte are the main culprits of short lifespan and low Coulombic efficiency of Zn metal batteries. In this work, a versatile protective coating with excellent zincophilic and amphoteric features is constructed on the surface of Zn metal (ZP@Zn) as dendrite‐free anodes. This kind of protective coating possesses the advantages of reversible proton storage and rapid desolvation kinetics, thereby mitigating the HER and facilitating homogeneous nucleation concomitantly. Furthermore, the space charge polarization effect promotes charge redistribution to achieve uniform Zn deposition. Accordingly, the ZP@Zn symmetric cell manifests excellent reversibility at an ultrahigh cumulative plating capacity of 4700 mAh cm−2and stable cycling at 80 % depth of discharge (DOD). The ZP@Zn//V6O13pouch cell also reveals superior cycling stability with a high capacity of 326.6 mAh g−1.
