Published: September 2020

Solid-state packing plays a defining role in the properties of a molecular organic material, but it is difficult to elucidate in the absence of single crystals that are suitable for X-ray diffraction. Here, we demonstrate the coupling of divergent synthesis with microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) for rapid assessment of solid-state packing motifs, using a class of chiral nanocarbons – expanded helicenes – as a proof of concept. Two highly selective oxidative dearomatizations of a readily-accessible helicene provided a divergent route to four electron-deficient analogues containing quinone or quinoxaline units. Crystallization efforts consistently yielded microcrystals that were unsuitable for single crystal X-ray diffraction, but ideal for MicroED. This technique facilitated the elucidation of solid-state structures of all five compounds with <1.1 Å resolution. The otherwise-inaccessible data revealed a range of notable packing behavior, including four different space groups, homochirality in a crystal for a helicene with an extremely low enantiomerization barrier, and nanometer scale cavities. The results of this study suggest that MicroED will soon become an indispensable tool for high-throughput investigations in pursuit of next-generation organic materials.

A proxy-based high-throughput experimental approach was used to explore the stability and activity of Co-based Fischer Tropsch Synthesis catalysts with different promoters on various supports. The protocol is based on the estimation by XRD of active phase, Co, particle size and relative amounts of crystalline phases, Co to support. Sequential libraries samples enabled exploration of four Co loadings with five different promoters on six support materials. Catalysts stable to aging in syngas, displaying minimal change of particle size or relative area, were evaluated for their activity under industrial conditions. This procedure identified SiC as support for stable catalysts and a combination of Ru and Hf to promote the formation hcp Co. Unsupported bulk samples of Co with appropriate amounts of Ru and Hf revealed that the formation of hcp Co is independent of the support. The hcp Co containing catalyst presented the highest catalytic activity and C5+ selectivity amongst the samples tested in this study confirming the effectiveness of the proxy-based high-throughput method.

Published: September 2020

Objective: The aim of our study is to present the association between respiratory system disorders and gastrointestinal system involvement through showing that pediatric COVİD 19 patients can only display gastrointestinal symptoms. Materials and Methods: Three hundered COVID-19 patients between 1-18 years of age were included into the study. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to symptoms which are classified gastrointestinal, respiratory and gastrointestinal and respiratory groups. Diagnosis of COVID-19 were made by PCR testing. In patients with negative PCR testing, diagnosis was made according to clinical symptoms and contact history. Patients were analyzed in terms of demographic features, laboratory and imaging findings. Results: There were 300 patients diagnosed with COVID-19. PCR testing was positive in 129 of 300 children. All patients with only gastrointestinal symptoms had close contact history, 24 of 58 patients had PCR positivity (41.3%) and in 7 patients (12%), chest X- Ray findings were compatible with COVID-19. Two of 7 patients had negative PCR testing. Median NRL and CRP was higher in gastrointestinal group than respiratory group (p=0.034, p=0.028 respectively). Conclusions: Patients with gastrointestinal symptom and negative PCR testing should be evaluated carefully for early respiratory involvement without symptoms.

На примере перевернутого маятника на тележке продемонстрирован метод стабилизации механической системы обратной связью, не зависящей от скоростей. Возможность использования лишь значений координат обеспечивается запаздыванием обратной связи. Конструкция использует нейронную сеть, предполагая известным некоторое стабилизирующее управление по состоянию. Последнее строится в виде управления с переключением, допуская произвольные отклонения маятника от целевого верхнего положения.

A method is proposed for stabilizing an inverted pendulum on a cart by the feedback that is independent of the speed values. The possibility of using only coordinate values is provided by feedback delay. The design uses a neural network, assuming some stabilizing state control as known. The latter is constructed in the form of switching control, allowing arbitrary deviations of the pendulum from the desired upper position.
On one problem of portfolio analysis under soft constraints
Authors: Солдатенко Илья Сергеевич , Язенин Александр Васильевич
Published: September 2020

Разработана и исследована модель портфеля минимального риска в условиях гибридной неопределенности возможностно-вероятностного типа, основанная на принципе ожидаемой возможности. Особенностью рассматриваемой модели является то, что «мягкость» ограничения на уровень ожидаемой доходности моделируется путем замены четкого ограничения возможностным бинарным отношением. На модельном примере показано, как мягкость ограничения влияет на множество квазиэффективных оценок инвестиционного портфеля.

A model of a minimal risk portfolio under conditions of hybrid uncertainty of the possibility-probability type based on the principle of expected possibility has been developed and studied. The peculiarity of this model is that the "softness" of the restriction on the level of expected return is modeled by replacing a clear restriction with a possibilistic binary relation. The model example shows how the softness of the constraint affects a set of quasi-effective estimates of an investment portfolio.
A New Inhibitor Approach to the Corrosion of Mild Steel in Acidic Solution with Long-Term Impedance Tests: A New Application Area for Hypnum cupressiforme (Bryophyta)
Authors: ÖZKIR Demet , EZER Tülay
Published: September 2020

The most important aspect of this study is that the effect of Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw. which is a bryophyte species as a “green inhibitor” on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution at 298 K is being examined for the first time. The inhibitory effect of moss extract was investigated applying electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique. Nyquist diagrams were performed by EIS to examine the variation of the different concentrations of the extract with some immersion-time parameters. In addition, the surface charge of the metal in terms of the inhibition mechanism was determined by the EIS technique and as a result, it was found that the protonated inhibitor molecules were adsorbed directly onto the metal surface. The surface morphology studies of working electrodes was performed using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and optical metal microscopy techniques. Electrochemical tests and surface analysis studies support each other.

Youth studies, citizenship and transitions: towards a new research agenda
Authors: Wood Bronwyn
Published: September 2020

© 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. A key goal in youth studies is to gain holistic understandings of what it means to be young. However, a significant impediment to achieving this has been the tendency of youth studies to develop along siloed and stratified subfields. In keeping with the goal of creating more productive dialogue between subfields in youth studies, this paper examines the intersections between research in youth citizenship and youth transitions to consider the fresh insights and cross fertilisations that such an analysis may yield. This examination reveals a sense of dissatisfaction in both subfields with traditional normative and linear models of citizenship and transitions which rely on step-wise and sequential notions of time. In response, the paper advances a new research agenda which posits more temporally, spatially and relationally-sensitive understandings of youth citizenship and transition. Drawing on Ingold (2007. Lines: A brief history. London: Routledge), this agenda proposes the use of three alternative metaphors–genealogical, wayfaring and threads–which could hold the potential to unsettle the normativity and linearity of previous youth transitions and citizenship frameworks, and thus provide deeper insights into what it means to live and to be young citizens in times of transition.
21st Century Learners: Changing Conceptions of Knowledge, Learning and the Child
Authors: Hirschman Kate , Wood Bronwyn
Published: September 2020

The term ‘21st century learner’ emerged at the turn of the millennium and evoked a certain type of digitally-agile and self-driven learner. These ideas about 21st century learners have been widely and uncritically adopted in New Zealand policies and practices in recent years. This paper examines the origins and substance of this term against the backdrop of globalisation and Knowledge Economy discourses and emerging ideas of ‘digital natives’. It considers the implications of these ideas on conceptualisations of the child, the development of deep learning, the impact on relationships between adults/teachers and students and on social equity. It concludes by suggesting that the term 21st century learner needs on-going critique if we want critical, informed citizens in our democracy.
‘A Government of Transformation’: An Analysis of the Initial Education Policy Directions of the Labour-Led Coalition Government of New Zealand 2017–2018
Authors: Barker M , Wood Bronwyn
Published: September 2020

© 2019, New Zealand Association for Research in Education. From the outset, the Labour-led Coalition Government of 2017 was intent on ‘transformation’. For the education sector, this was signalled immediately with the announcement of an extensive programme of review and reform initiated in their first 100 days of power. Yet, what is at the heart of the proposed changes and what were they trying to address? Drawing on Bacchi’s (Analysing policy: What’s the problem represented to be? Pearson, London, 2009) What’s the Problem Represented to Be? approach, we examine the significant problems identified by the in-coming Government through key public messages during their first 8 months (October 26th, 2017–June 30th, 2018). By analysing official discourses released by Ministers, we examine how the problems which the policies intended to address were constructed and represented to the public. Our analysis identified four main ‘problems’: the de-professionalisation of the teaching profession; the quality of public education; equity and access; and preparedness for the twenty first century. We conclude by examining how the representations of these problems may provide key insights into how imagined solutions are proposed and enacted in the future.

Authors: Aliyu A. , Shelleng B.A , Usman J.
Published: September 2020

This paper examines the parametric efficiency analysis of rubber production in Malaysia using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). The 3 different sample sizes used were 307, 206 and 101 for all-age, matured-age and old-age categories respectively. The results of the study reveals that the mean values of the rubber yield under all-age category was 3,638.28kg/ha while that of the matured-age and old-age categories 4,611.34kg/ha and 1,653.61kg/ha respectively. The Maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) results revealed that 5 independent variables were significant under all-age and matured-age categories while the old-age category has all the independent variables significant. With regards to elasticity of production for rubber task, 1% increase in number of rubber tree/ha leads to an increase in 0.76, 0.70 and 0.61 per cents in all-age, matured-age and old-age crop categories respectively. The coefficients values of the sigma squared for the all-age, matured-age and old-age were 0.14, 0.26 and 0.03 respectively, while the gamma values for the respective crops age categories stood at 1.00, 1.00 and 0.5. The coefficients values of all-age crops category showed that 3 variables were statistically significant at 1% level of significance. 2 variables were having negative coefficients while the remaining 1 had positive coefficient. The mean technical efficiency scores for all-age, matured-age and old-age crops categories were found to be respectively 0.70, 0.77 and 0.72. None of the crops age categories have farms on the frontier. The study concludes that Race and marital status were found to be very critical in determining efficiency of all-age crop category. Also, the matured-age crops are better than the other two crop-age categories in terms of efficiency. Also, both the matured-age and the all-age crop categories are experiencing decreasing return to scale of the production process while the old-age category has an increasing return to scale production process. The study recommends downsizing some of the inputs especially farm size, fertilizer application rate as well as farm tools.

Published: September 2020

The competition among the organizations in financial services sector is continuously increasing.  Banking industry is a backbone of nation’s economy and it is one of the largest industries in India in terms of revenue and employment.  The banking structure played a major role in the mobilisation of savings and promoting economic development. The intensity of customer-organisation relationship has changed dramatically over time.  Customer experience is the product of an interaction between an organisation and a customer over the duration of their relationship.  The key elements like strategy, culture, processes and systems etc. impact the CEM in banks. The antecedents like customer knowledge management, satisfaction, trust and loyalty influence the CEM in organizations.  This paper is an attempt to trace out the elements of CEM and the various factors leading to the neglect of CEM in banking sector.
INTRODUCING ANTIOXIDANTS AS ESSENTIAL FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF TISSUE LIFE AS DEMONSTRATED IN HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLES
Authors: A Abraham
Published: September 2020

Hair Follicles have been described as mini-organs having a wide range of functions and relying in tightly regulated molecular signaling for its metabolism, and extensively described to emit biomagnetic fields (BMFs). The ubiquitous enzyme catalase is essential for the eukaryotic cells to maintain toxic Reactive Oxygen Species (such as H2O2) in equilibrium. This manuscript presents a novel optical microscopy technique that utilizes a glass slide sandwich (SDW) where drops of fresh human blood are trapped.  Drops of water are placed on the top slide of the SDW, in which a freshly plucked human hair follicle is immersed. In this experimental model, is shown that in water immersed follicles, BMFs interact with the intrinsic BMFs of the blood, this in turn causing vertically detected spatial images resembling two different magnetic profiles (MPs).  When hairs are immersed in 35% H2O2 oxygen bubbles (O2) are displayed due to the H2O2 breakdown by the enzyme catalase. When the O2 breakdown ceases is theorized that tissue death has occurred. Results are presented of images and video-recordings correlating the absence of catalase with cessation of MPs.

Authors: Kifle Tamirneh
Published: September 2020

Water scarcity, erratic rainfall distribution and better management of water are the most sever constraint for the development of agriculture. To cope with scarce supplies, deficit irrigation is an important tool to achieve the goal of reducing irrigation water use and increase water use efficiency (WUE) under scarce water resources. This research was carried out at Southern Agricultural Research Institute of Areka Agricultural Research Center of Hubo Woreda in farmers’ fields during 2016/2017–2017/2018 to identify the level of deficit irrigation which allow achieving optimum Tomato yield. The experimental design was arranged in RCBD with four treatments with three replications.  The irrigation treatments were 100 % ETc, 85 % ETc, 75 % ETc and 50 % ETc. The result showed that a maximum fruit yield of 43.4 ton/ha was obtained under full irrigation. A deficit irrigation strategy applied at 85%, 70% of crop water requirement gives relatively better fruit yield i.e. 34.2 ton/ha and 32.1 ton/ha. For Tomato in water scarce area applying 85% and 70% of crop water requirement is recommended with a minimum reduction of yield.

COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS IN MANAGEMENT
Authors: Neely Phillip R. , Mosley Michael
Published: September 2020

An array of studies identifies that effective communication is imperative in the workplace to increase employee productivity and organizational performance. Despite the benefits that emerge in the use of effective communication strategies within an organization, many organizations face numerous challenges that emerge in communication breakdowns and disconnects. These challenges affect performance and compromise success. The intent of this paper is to use a mixed method approach that includes a literature review and gathering of primary data from questionnaires and interviews to determine the communication problems in management. The data analysis is achieved through qualitative and quantitative strategies. The study identifies that lack of effective communication is centered on the perceptions that exist within the workforce. Managers perceive that their strategies are effective when in some cases they are not. The study also identifies that tech-assisted communication systems would increase productivity. From these insights, it is imperative that organizations implement changes that will foster effective communication throughout the organization.
ABSENCE OF H2O2 BREAKDOWN IN HUMAN HAIR MEDULLA IMPLICATIONS IN FOLLICULAR MELANOGENESIS
Authors: A. Abraham
Published: September 2020

The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce the absence of H2O2 decomposition in the human hair follicle medulla. This absence is attributed to an absence of the antioxidants that are essential for the elimination of reactive oxygen species generated during cellular respiration. The present assumption is that the human hair follicle follicular melanogenesis (FM) involves sequentially the melanogenic activity of follicular melanocytes, the transfer of melanin granules into cortical and medulla keratinocytes, and the formation of pigmented hair shafts. The introduction of an airborne gradual hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) molecules transfer into water, has allowed for the slow down of H2O2 decomposition speed when contacting human tissue. The usual explosive reaction commonly seen has been avoided; and previously unseen details of the H2O2 breakdown anatomical locations within the human hair follicle reaction can now be detected. Dynamic video-recordings show for the first time H2O2 decomposition occurring in the cortical and cortex areas. Published evidence links cellular H2O2 breakdown and metabolism. A new paradigm is herein introduced where the human hair medulla is excluded from H2O2 breakdown, thus inferring the absence of metabolic activity from FM.

The data were analyzed by the computer software program (SPPS) version 20.

The results showed that more than two third (79.4%) of the patient had poor knowledge about the importance of preoperative preparations, but improve after implemented program and this was reflected on patient behavior and outcome in the postoperative phase. (70%) had reported no anxiety to mild in the postoperative phase. in regard of postoperative pain, majority of patients (70%) experienced moderate to severe level of pain in the first 4 hours, this level of pain reduce to mild to no pain level in (82%) of patients in next 12hours. Most of the patients had full to good satisfaction regarding preparations and outcome. The study support and justifies the effectiveness of the preoperative preparations on patient outcomes. The study recommended surgical nurses have to provide proper explanation and teaching for elective surgical patients to be adherence with the care plan to promote good surgical outcome.
A UTILIZAÇÃO DO EYE-TRACKER COMO FERRAMENTA AUXILIAR PARA AUMENTO DA EFICÁCIA NA VISUALIZAÇÃO DAS MÍDIAS EXTERNAS TRADICIONAIS (OOH)
Authors: Levrini Gabriel
Published: September 2020

Existe uma disparidade muito grande entre a quantidade de informações recebidas do ambiente pelo cérebro e a capacidade humana de processamento. Ainda por cima, o boom digital em todos os meios de comunicação tornou mais acirrada a conquista da atenção do consumidor, o que colocou em dúvida a real eficácia das mídias tradicionais. Este estudo exploratório está limitado apenas a análise de mídias externas (OOH) em três experimentos com mídias distintas, buscando avaliar a visualização dos 48 indivíduos participantes, sentados ao lado direito de um veículo em trajeto predefinido e distâncias do experimento definidas. Os resultados do eye tracker mobile apontam para a necessidade dos criadores de OOH de estarem atentos ao posicionamento, e principalmente do layout das mensagens. O mercado quer comprar audiência, capturar a atenção dos consumidores em ambiente de grande poluição visual e concorrência de várias mídias. Um volume enorme de recursos, são desperdiçados porque os OOHs nem sequer são notados pelos consumidores.
