Published: October 2022

The electrocatalytic epoxidation of alkenes at heterogeneous catalysts using water as the sole oxygen source is a promising safe route toward the sustainable synthesis of epoxides, which are essential building blocks in organic chemistry. However, the physico-chemical parameters governing the oxygen-atom transfer to the alkene and the impact of the electrolyte structure on the epoxidation reaction are yet to be understood. Here, we study the electrocatalytic epoxidation of cyclooctene at the surface of gold in hybrid organic/aqueous mixtures using acetonitrile (ACN) solvent. Gold was selected, as in ACN/water electrolytes gold oxide is formed by reactivity with water at potentials less anodic than the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). This unique property allows us to demonstrate that a sacrificial mechanism is responsible for cyclooctene epoxidation at metallic gold surfaces, proceeding through cyclooctene activation, while epoxidation at gold oxide shares similar reaction intermediates with the OER and proceeds via the activation of water. More importantly, we show that the hydrophilicity of the electrode/electrolyte interface can be tuned by changing the nature of the supporting salt cation, hence affecting the reaction selectivity. At low overpotential, hydrophilic interfaces formed by using strong Lewis acid cations are found to favor gold passivation. Instead, hydrophobic interfaces created by the use of large organic cations favor the oxidation of cyclooctene and the formation of epoxide. Our study directly demonstrates how tuning the hydrophilicity of electrochemical interfaces can improve both the yield and selectivity of anodic reactions at the surface of heterogeneous catalysts.

Published: October 2022

Objective.

To characterize the frequency, causes, and predictors of readmissions of COVID-19 patients after discharge from heath facilities or emergency departments, interventions used to reduce readmissions, and outcomes of COVID-19 patients discharged from such settings.

Methods.

We performed a systematic review for case series and observational studies published between January 2020 and April 2021 in PubMed, Embase, LILACS, and MedRxiv, reporting the frequency, causes, or risk factors for readmission of COVID-19 survivors/patients. We conducted a narrative synthesis and assessed the methodological quality using the JBI critical appraisal checklist.

Results.

We identified 44 studies including data from 10 countries. The overall 30-day median readmission rate was 7.1%. Readmissions varied with the length of follow-up, occurring <10.5%, <14.5%, <21.5%, and <30%, respectively, for 10, 30, 60, and 253 days following discharge. Among those followed up for 30 and 60 days, the median time from discharge to readmission was 3 days and 8–11 days, respectively. The significant risk factor associated with readmission was having shorter length of stay, and the important causes included respiratory or thromboembolic events and chronic illnesses. Emergency department re-presentation was >20% in four studies. Risk factors associated with mortality were male gender, advanced age, and comorbidities.

Conclusions.

Readmission of COVID-19 survivors is frequent, and post-discharge mortality is significant in specific populations. There is an urgent need to further examine underlying reasons for early readmission and to prevent additional readmissions and adverse outcomes in COVID-19 survivors.
The Effects of Concentration of Rhodamine B in CPPO Solution on the Chemiluminescence Intensity
Authors: Gong Xiang
Published: October 2022

In chemiluminescence reactions (CL), the electron jumps to a higher energy level when the fluorescent dye is excited. Dye in an excited state emits light by electrons jumping back to the ground state. In this review, indirect CL was studied with the main focus on the curve of CL intensity due to different concentrations of Rhodamine B (RhB) in Bis (2,4,5-trichloro-6-CarboPentoxyPhenyl) Oxalate (CPPO) solution with hydrogen peroxide (PO-CL). Because the light produced after the excitation of the dye by CPPO-CL is visible, the experiments were analyzed directly using a camera and programming. It was observed experimentally that the CL intensity would increase and then decrease with an increasing concentration of RhB. The resulting data are partially consistent with a Gaussian fit, but after excitation, the trend is more likely to fit consistent with that of logarithmic functions. As the CL intensity was reduced at an RhB concentration of 0.05g/20ml, there is a possibility that the quenching effect exists in the reaction of a high RhB concentration with CPPO. The difference in emission wavelengths and the time to reach maximum brightness are also discussed in this report.

The importance of information transmission sources in the development of the country’s image: Uzbekistan’s position and problems
Authors: viaScience
Published: October 2022

Examining the issue of creating and shaping the media image of a young independent state like Uzbekistan, which appeared on the world geopolitical map, it is clear that the differences in attitudes to the reforms in our country are serious problems. Today, the world is ruled by major information centers. For example, Reuters has offices in 200 cities in 94 countries, while the Associated Press has 243 offices in 120 countries. The news agency's information is disseminated daily to more than 1,700 newspapers, about 5,000 TV channels and radio stations. It should be noted that in such circumstances, the provision of information is likely to be goal-oriented and one-sided. In addition, the information is delivered to the world community in the form and interpretation desired by the owners of the agency. The media is one of the main sources of information and socialization in our society. It is therefore an important factor influencing people’s stereotypes. Recent research confirms this statement. Consistent, unique media information has a long-term impact on its audience over a relatively wide period of time. This can be very effective in influencing the media’s people’s long-term image of other countries. In addition, the media is considered important as a means of influencing people's opinion.
The face in everyday social interaction: social outcomes and personality correlates of facial behaviour
Authors: Kavanagh Eithne , Whitehouse Jamie , Waller Bridget
Published: October 2022

Facial behaviour is a central component of social interaction, yet is primarily studied in the absence of a social partner with a heavy focus on static, universal prototypes. Examination of individual variation in facial behaviour embedded within social interaction is essential to understand social function. We conducted a three-part multi-method study to examine how variation in facial behaviour impacts first impression formation, social outcomes during social interaction and perception from third-party observers. We recorded a semi-structured social interaction with fifty-two participants which involved interacting with a confederate via video call across various social contexts. A facial expressivity index was extracted using FACS (facial action coding system), and personality was measured by self-report. A subset of these participants (n=34) also completed tasks in which they attempted to achieve social goals via facial communication. Clips from the video call and the social tasks were then rated by an independent sample of 176 participants. Facial expressivity varied considerably across participants, but little across behavioural contexts. More facially expressive participants were more agreeable, more well-liked, and more successful at negotiating (if they were also more agreeable). Participants who were more facially competent, readable, and perceived as readable were also more well liked. Our findings suggest that facial behaviour could be a stable individual difference, and that it proffers social advantages which may vary depending on personality. These results point towards an affiliative function of facial behaviour.

Entre l’ouverture et le cloisonnement : paternité monoparentale dans Manger l’autre d’Ananda Devi
Authors: Cunniah Bruno
Published: October 2022

L’emprise des hommes sur les femmes, cet amour masculin qui se transforme en tyrannie, sont des constantes dans l’univers romanesque d’Ananda Devi. Dès les premiers textes nommément Rue la Poudrière (1988), émerge l’image du père alcoolique et violent qui conduit sa fille à la prostitution. Trente ans plus tard, la vision de la romancière ne s’est en rien adoucie. Plus complexe, moins centré sur Maurice, le portrait de la paternité que dresse cette écrivaine dans Manger l’autre (2018) jette une ambigüité grandissante autour du rôle du père dans la descente aux enfers de sa fille. Loin des bourreaux décrits dans La vie de Joséphin le fou (2003) ou dans Le sari vert (2009), le père apparaît ici sous les traits de l’empathie et de l’amour. Cela dit, la vision du monde d’Ananda Devi par rapport à ce dernier ne change pas. À travers cette éternelle stigmatisation du patriarcat, la romancière nous transporte dans le monde de l’obésité morbide, du harcèlement scolaire et des réservoirs de haine que recèlent les réseaux sociaux.

Dans Manger l’autre, un texte aux accents universels, le monstre n’est plus masculin mais bien féminin. En l’absence de la mère accablée par ses obsessions égocentriques, les chances de réussites du père sont minimes. Or, Manger l’autre se lit comme un sacerdoce paternel. Le père assume son rôle, aime pour deux et surtout passe des heures à cuisiner ce que sa fille désire. Il va même jusqu’à encourager l’épanouissement sexuel de cette dernière en lui accordant une liberté de tous les instants. Et pourtant, rien de cela n’est suffisant pour absoudre l’homme dans l’univers d’Ananda Devi. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif de cette étude est de démontrer et d’analyser l’assiduité de cette romancière mauricienne à mettre en scène l’échec du père quoi qu’il puisse entreprendre au sein de sa famille.

Tujuan penelitian mempelajari interaksi antara S. oryzae dan R. dominica terhadap pertumbuhan populalsi keduanya dan dan kerusakan sorgum.   Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan perlakuan intraspesifik dan interspesifik S. oryzae dan R. dominica. Jenis perlakuan terdiri dari tiga taraf yaitu 30 pasang imago S. oryzae, 30 pasang imago R. dominica, dan 15 pasang imago S. oryzae + 15 pasang imago R. dominica. Imag-imago tersebut diinfestasikan ke dalam stoples plastik yang berisikan 150 g sorgum dan disimpan selama 60 hari. Parameter pengamatan meliputi jumlah imago, persentase berat bubuk dan susut berat sorgum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi antara S. oryzae dan R. dominica mempengaruhi pertumbuhhan populasi keduanya dan kerusakan sorgum. Kompetisi interspesifik antara spesies S. oryzae dan R. dominica secara nyata dapat mengurangi populasi kedua tersebut.  Kompetisi intraspesifik S. oryzae mampu menyebabkan persentase susut berat dan persentase berat bubuk yang lebih besar dibandingkan kompetisi intraspesifik R. dominica dan kompetisi interspesifik keduanya. Informasi tentang interaksi antar spesies S. oryzae dan R. dominica sebagai acuan kegiatan pemantauan untuk mengevaluasi tindakan pengendalian yang dilakukan terhadap hama tersebut di penyimpanan sorgum.

ABSTRAK

Guru sebagai tombak terdepan dalam organisasi sekolah menjadi salah satu tolak ukur dalam menilai keberhasilan sekolah dalam mendidik siswa. Berdasarkan hasil observasi awal ditemukan bahwa kinerja mengajar guru belum optimal. Hal tersebut diduga disebabkan oleh rendahnya kepemimpinan demokratik kepala sekolah dan fungsi kelompok kerja guru guru. Karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk menguji kebenarannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey dengan pendekatan kuantitatif, serta teknik korelasional dan regresi. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui angket skala Likert terhadap 56 responden yang merupakan guru Sekolah Dasar Gugus Siti Armilah di Kecamatan Dawuan Kabupaten Majalengka. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa (1) Kepemimpinan demokratik kepala sekolah berkontribusi terhadap kinerja mengajar guru Sekolah Dasar Gugus Siti Armilah di Kecamatan Dawuan Kabupaten Majalengka, (2) Fungsi kelompok kerja guru berkontribusi terhadap kinerja mengajar guru Sekolah Dasar Gugus Siti Armilah di Kecamatan Dawuan Kabupaten Majalengka, (3) Kepemimpinan demokratik kepala sekolah dan fungsi kelompok kerja guru secara bersama-sama berkontribusi terhadap kinerja Sekolah Dasar Gugus Siti Armilah di Kecamatan Dawuan Kabupaten Majalengka. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dalam penelitian ini diharapkan pimpinan dapat memberikan ruang atau sarana agar guru agar dapat menuangkan ide dan gagasan mereka. Tidak hanya untuk program dimasa yang akan datang melainkan juga agar guru mendapatkan tempat untuk mengutarakan kesulitan-kesulitan yang ditemui. Mengembangkan fungsi kelompok kerja guru dengan memberikan waktu khusus dan berkelanjutan untuk mendiskusikan permasalahan yang ditemukan dalam pekerjaan termasuk didalamnya hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan mendiskusikan kesulitan dalam pembelajaran. Menerapkan kedua saran diatas dengan harapan kinerja mengajar guru akan menjadi lebih optimal.

BACKGROUND: Autophagy-related genes and immune-related genes contribute significantly to the initiation and prognosis of bladder cancer (BLCA). OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore differentially expressed autophagy-related genes (DEARGs) and immune-related genes (DEIRGs) in BLCA to create a prognostic risk assessment model and gain some insights into BLCA’s molecular underpinnings. METHODS: The prognostic DEARGs and DEIRGs were evaluated for BLCA through The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database (n= 399) and GSE13507 dataset (n= 165). The BLCA risk model was constructed and verified. The immune score, stromal score, and estimate score in different risk groups were calculated by the ESTIMATE algorithm. Immune infiltration levels were assessed by a single sample gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) algorithm. RESULTS: In the risk model, AURKA, ACTC1, MYLK, PDGFD, PDGFRA and TNC were significantly associated with the overall survival. The pathways in cancer, T cell receptor signaling pathway and B cell receptor signaling pathway were significantly gathered in the high-risk group. Moreover, the risk score was significantly correlated with infiltrating immune cells, expression of critical immune checkpoints and mismatch repair genes including MSH6, MLH1, and MSH2. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, three DEARGs (AURKA, ACTC1, MYLK) and three DEIRGs (PDGFD, PDGFRA, TNC) were demonstrated to be potential prognostic biomarkers for BLCA patients through bioinformatics methods, which might be novel therapeutic targets and prognostic markers for BLCA, in follow up studies, we will combine experiments to verify this.

Published: October 2022

Background:

Data on the clinical course of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) exist from well-characterized clinical cohorts but estimates from real-world populations are fewer.

Objective:

The objective was to estimate the prevalence of key clinical milestones by age, among real-world commercially-insured DMD patients in the United States.

Methods:

MarketScan claims (2013–2018) were used to identify males with DMD. The percentages with wheelchair use or experiencing scoliosis, neurologic/neuropsychiatric involvement, cardiomyopathy, and respiratory involvement were tabulated; as were the median (interquartile range [IQR]) ages at first observed occurrence within the claims data.

Results:

Among DMD patients ( n = 1,964), the median (IQR) baseline age was 15 (9–21) years, and median follow-up was 1.7 years. Wheelchair use was observed in 55% of those aged 8 to 13 years at cohort entry; scoliosis, among 38% of those 8 to 10 and 52% of those 11 to 13 years; neurologic/neuropsychiatric involvement, among 41–43% of those 8 to 13 years; respiratory involvement, among 45% of those 14 to 19 years; and cardiomyopathy, among 68% of those 14 to 16 and 58% of those 17 to 19 years.

Conclusions:

The prevalence of key clinical milestones across ages was broadly consistent with published findings. Variability in estimates reflect clinical heterogeneity; these contemporary estimates from real-world data help characterize clinical outcomes in DMD.
Christian Ethical Perspective on Sexual Orientation and Sexual Behavior
Authors: Dei Daniel
Published: October 2022

Sexual expressions in the 21st century have become diverse to the extent that previously stereotyped expressions are gaining popularity within Christian ethical discourses. Most Christian denominations differentiate homosexual orientation from homosexual behaviors. This distinction allows these denominations to denounce homosexual behaviors and tolerate homosexual orientation. The underlining notion is that one is not guilty until they have acted on their sexual orientation. Thus experiencing homosexual orientation alone does not necessarily make one a homosexual. This article examines sexual orientation and sexual behavior as components of sexual expression. The examination links sexual orientation and sexual behavior to sexual identity. The fundamental question of the inquiry is: are sexual orientations and sexual behaviors mutually exclusive as far as sexual expression is concerned? Are Christian denominations justified in denouncing homosexual behaviors but tolerant of homosexual orientations? The article reveals that not all sexual orientations have corresponding sexual behaviors, but sexual orientations influence sexual behaviors and the choice of a sex partner. Individuals determine their sexual identity through their preferred sexual orientation and not through their sexual behaviors or choice of a sex partner.

Consequently, it is incorrect to focus on sexual behaviors or the gender of sex partners to respond to issues on sexual identity. Jesus’ statement in Matthew 5:28 shows that unhealthy sexual orientation is as toxic as unhealthy sexual behavior. It is, therefore, inconsistent for a Christian community to strictly condemn sexual behaviors in same-sex relations while tolerating homoeroticism.
