By integrating different types of catalysts in the same system, hybrid catalysis emerges as an attractive and competitive approach. Within the framework of valorizing sustainably sourced bio-based products, we herein present a synthetic method for producing amides from alcohols and the bio-sourced 5-aminomethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (AMFC). This approach utilizes supported gold metal nanoparticles as heterogeneous chemocatalysts, in conjunction with an acyl-coenzyme A ligase (ACL). By combining the actions of these catalysts, aliphatic mono- and di-alcohols are converted to the corresponding AMFC-derived amides with yields of up to 65% in aqueous buffer at 60 °C. This process requires only the addition of the enzyme and associated reactants in the same vessel for the second step in an one-pot/two-steps procedure.

New lignocellulose biorefinery technologies that enable the conversion of lignin into platform chemicals are essential to reduce our future dependence on fossil resources. In this study, we investigate the Brønsted acid-catalyzed O-demethylation of guaiacol in hot-pressurized water (HPW) as a model reaction for transforming lignin-derived phenolic substrates featuring ortho methoxy groups. We compare the effects of Brønsted mineral acid (HCl) and microporous solid acid (H-BEA zeolite) in water to elucidate the hydrolysis mechanism and the impact of zeolite microporosity on reaction rates. Operando molecular modeling combined with experimental kinetic studies reveals that, regardless of the catalyst type, O-demethylation follows a concerted, one-step O-activated SN2 mechanism. This mechanism involves a strong hydrogen bond between guaiacol and a hydronium ion as an ionic contact pair. Protons confined within the zeolite form more active undercoordinated hydronium ions, which are associated with lower enthalpic requirements and thus accelerate the hydrolysis. The molecular organization of solvent and reactants around the confined catalytic active site plays a crucial role in modulating the association of the reacting species. These proof-of-concept results demonstrate the significant influence of solvent (water) coordination on acid-catalyzed bimolecular reactions, such as hydrolysis, within confined spaces.

Dual catalytic reactions may be made more effective through an improved integration of the catalytic cycles achieved using bifunctional catalysts. Herein we describe new bifunctional photocatalysts consisting of a photoactive donor-acceptor cyanoarene unit linked to a bipyridine ligand moiety that can bind transition metals. The bifunctional photocatalysts were synthesized in 3-5 steps form commercially available compounds and fully characterized in terms of photophysical properties, which are strongly affected by the type of linkage used (C vs. O) to connect the cyanoarene core to the ligand. Catalytic tests carried out in the Nicatalyzed C-O cross-coupling of alcohols to aryl bromides promoted by visible light have shown that the bifunctional systems are more active than the corresponding ‘dual catalytic systems’ (i.e., not covalently bound), taking advantage of the proximity between the two catalytic moieties (Ni-complex and photocatalyst). The best bifunctional dyes were tested with several alcohols and aryl halides, giving good yields at low catalytic loading (0.5-2 mol%).

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for the study of proteins in solution and under native conditions. Paramagnetic spin centres are usually introduced by site-directed spin labelling (SDSL) of engineered cysteine residues. However, for many (membrane) protein classes, cysteine engineering is not possible without affecting their structural and functional integrity. Here, we report the development of xanthine-based aminoxyl spin probes that allow non-covalent spin labelling of human TRPC5 ion channels. The compounds retained high potency as TRPC5 modulators and allowed assessment of ligand interaction and inter-ligand distances by continuous wave EPR (CW EPR) and double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy. The results from EPR experiments were supported by high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) structures of the TRPC5:spin probe complexes. This work shows that non-covalent, ligand-based spin labelling can be used for EPR studies of large, cysteine-rich membrane proteins and their complexes.

Enhancing EFL students' speaking confidence: The role of explicit communication strategy training
Authors: Raside Dag-Akbas
Published: September 2024

One of the most challenging aspects of being an EFL teacher is coping with reticent students who are largely unwilling to communicate. This mixed-methods single case study, conducted with volunteer preparatory class students experiencing speaking anxiety at a Department of English Language and Literature in Turkey, aims to determine whether explicit training in communication strategies alleviates English-major students' speaking anxiety. The study employs a pre-posttest experimental research design and combines qualitative and quantitative research methods. Both verbal and numerical data indicate that the students' use of communication strategies, language production, and classroom participation are relatively higher compared to their levels before the strategy training. The results suggest that strategy training can effectively reduce EFL speaking anxiety among students. Accordingly, the study provides valuable insights for educators, practitioners, and program designers aiming to enhance students' oral communication skills in EFL settings.
Exploring EFL learners' experiences and perspectives: Insights into ESP learning
Authors: Sevim Inal , Rahşan Karabulut
Published: September 2024

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is recognized as essential in preparing EFL students for their professional careers. Understanding students' perceptions and needs in ESP courses can provide significant insights for improving ESP programs and training for ESP practitioners. This study investigated university students' needs and learning experiences in ESP courses, focusing on course content, course hours, exams, materials, instructor adequacy, feedback effectiveness, and overall teaching quality. Students' opinions were gathered through a 27-item questionnaire, with responses collected from 107 EFL students across various departments. Data analysis included frequency analysis, independent samples t-tests, and one-way ANOVA, with responses to the open-ended questions coded using Maxqda 20. Findings show that although participants expressed overall satisfaction with ESP courses, they highlighted concerns about the lack of authentic materials, integrated language skills, and skill-based activities. Improvements in field-related knowledge and vocabulary were identified as critical. The open-ended responses revealed diverse opinions and highlighted the need for better integration of language skills, particularly speaking, and a demand for enhanced instructor training. The issues highlighted in this study reflect broader, global challenges in ESP, consistent with findings from other studies. Based on these findings, the authors suggest several implications for ESP practitioners and program developers.

Сучасні умови розвитку національної психології пов’язані з необхідністю врахування особливостей постіндустріального (інформаційного) суспільства, діалектичних змін типів наукової раціональності, актуальністю розвитку психології як постнекласичної науки. Ускладнюються об’єкти психологічного пізнання і, відповідно, емпірична перевірка й верифікація результатів досліджень. Особливо це є характерне для наукових об’єктів, які мають виразний епістемологічний вимір, інтелігібельну сутність і полідисциплінарний характер. Статтю присвячено актуалізації дискурсу канонічної психології як постнекласичної науки нового інтегрального (міждисциплінарного) типу. Уточнено зміст критеріїв канонічної психології як методологічних основ наукової репрезентації нового психологічного знання. На прикладі дослідження ігрового моделювання життєдіяльності суб’єкта в умовах невизначеності проаналізовано функціональну сутність атрибутів психологічної теорії, що претендує стати складником канонічної психології. Установлено, що система критеріїв канонічної психології першочергово містить такі канони: вчинковий, герменевтичний, трансцендентний, епістемологічний, онтологічний, феноменологічний, атрибутивності прагнення людини володіти світом через активність її психологічної сфери, іманентної придатності атрибутів психологічної сфери людини до наукової аксіоматизації, максимальної повноти наукового аналізу життєдіяльності людини. Вчинковий канон для розробки перспективної психологічної теорії має генетичне, системотвірне значення й виконує роль вихідної методологічної диспозиції. Виявлено відповідність основних узагальнень перспективної психологічної теорії ігрового моделювання життєдіяльності суб’єкта в умовах невизначеності критеріям канонічної психології. Концепт-моделями наведеної теорії, які відповідають змісту психологічних канонів, є: структурно-функціональна матриця ігрового моделювання в умовах невизначеності конкурентного середовища; концепт алгоритму ситуативного ігрового моделювання життєдіяльності людини; модель універсальної методологічної архітектоніки утворення психобіотичних систем; концепт габітусу як суб’єктної матриці соціальної гри; підсумкова онтологічна модель психологічного поля гри. Визначено, що застосування критеріїв канонічної психології (канонів) дає змогу продовжувати модернізацію наукового апарату національної психології.
The Silent Burden: Help-Seeking for Mental Distress Among Suicidal Male Secondary School Students in Aotearoa. An Analysis of Large-Scale Survey Data
Authors:   , Crook Kristin
Published: September 2024

Background: Adolescent males in Aotearoa report high rates of suicidal ideation and attempts but limited help seeking. The extent to which suicidal males access school based and other help is poorly understood. Aims: To explore help seeking, characteristics associated with help seeking difficulties and barriers to help among males who reported suicide ideation and or attempts ('suicidality').

Methods: Secondary data analysis from the Aotearoa Youth19 Rangatahi Smart Survey and affiliated School Health Services Leader Questionnaire. I analysed mental health help-seeking in the last 12 months from school and other sources, among adolescent males (n=3466). Primary analyses were for males reporting any suicidality (n= 545). Secondary analyses were for males reporting suicide attempts (n= 145). Results: 16.5% of adolescent males reported suicidality with higher prevalence among Māori (18.5%) and Pasifika (18%), those with depressive symptoms (56.8%), from high deprivation neighbourhoods (18.9%) and low decile schools (18.7%), and those experiencing frequent bullying (36.6%) or recent ethnic discrimination (25.9%). Most suicidal males (73.4%) sought help from their peers rather than formal sources (21.7%). In-school help-seeking was low (19%) but higher for those with depressive symptoms (22%), and exposure to frequent bullying (32.1%). Many suicidal males (37.6%) reported difficulties getting help, and commonly reported self-reliance (45.9%), and embarrassment (40.6%) as barriers to accessing help. Conclusion: It is crucial for those invested in enhancing adolescent wellbeing to explore avenues through which help is extended to suicidal males who do not seek professional assistance. Exploring pathways including through peers, family and active outreach should be prioritised.

Observed changes in the contribution of extreme precipitation over the Zagros Mountains, Iran
Authors: Nazaripour Hamid , Sedaghat Mehdi , Sadeghinia Alireza
Published: September 2024

Due to global warming, precipitation regimes are expected to change, and heavy events are expected to occur more frequently. This study investigates the relative share of heavy daily precipitation events to total precipitation for past and current climates. In this regard, daily precipitation data with a spatial resolution of 0.25° × 0.25° from the APHRODITE and CHIRPS databases are used. We used two nonparametric tests, the Mann–Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimator, to identify the trend. The results showed that the frequency of daily heavy precipitation has been increasing in most regions of Iran. The relative share of heavy daily precipitation events to total precipitation has increased over the southwest and central areas of Iran from a case of the past to the current climate. The rise in the share of heavy precipitation of the total precipitation has led to a decrease in the frequency of rainy days (wet days) and an increase in the intensity and concentration of precipitation in Iran. The amount of increase in the share of heavy rainfall to the total precipitation is more prominent in the middle parts of the Zagros Mountains. These conditions lead to heavy floods in the southwestern plains of Iran.

Authors: Ippili Tarakeswara Rao , Kurumaiah Narumalla , Rao Poralla Venkateshwar
Published: September 2024

Health communication is an important facet of public health as it has a direct impact on the health-related behaviours of people. This paper provides a review of health communication development to assess a particular health campaign that aims at improving vaccination coverage within a rural community. The research design employed in the study is a qualitative case study feedback, which entails document analysis and semi-structured interviews to sample enriching data from multiple groups of participants from the eligible members of the community, health care providers, and personnel or coordinators of the campaign. The study aims at identifying the approaches used, the efficacy of the communication techniques used, and the consequences on the health of the community. The study reveals that a cocktail of mass awareness campaigns as well as engaging the community and digital platforms greatly enhance people’s awareness and subsequent vaccination. However, gaps including cultural beliefs, health illiteracy, and limited resources came up, pointing to the need for culturally appropriate messages and reinforcement of resources. From the case analysis, it is evident that these strategies can be effectively implemented in business operations through culturally appropriate and relevant methods.

Os cuidados paliativos visam aliviar o sofrimento de pacientes com doenças graves ou incuráveis, abordando
sintomas físicos, emocionais, sociais e espirituais. Este estudo teve como objetivo explorar as abordagens
multidisciplinares para o controle da dor e sintomas em cuidados paliativos, destacando a importância de uma
atenção integral e colaborativa. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão narrativa de literatura por meio do ambiente
virtual online por meio das bases de dados como PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science e BVS, utilizando descritores
específicos e aplicando critérios de inclusão e exclusão rigorosos. A análise dos estudos identificados revelou a
eficácia de estratégias que combinam intervenções farmacológicas, terapias físicas, apoio psicológico e
espiritual, e terapias complementares, coordenadas por equipes multidisciplinares. A comunicação eficiente entre
os membros da equipe de saúde emergiu como um fator essencial para a efetividade do cuidado. Constatou-se
que, apesar dos benefícios das abordagens multidisciplinares, desafios persistem na sua implementação, como a
falta de recursos e a necessidade de formação contínua. Conclui-se que o manejo eficaz da dor e sintomas em
cuidados paliativos depende da integração de diferentes estratégias terapêuticas, adaptadas às necessidades
individuais dos pacientes. Sugere-se que futuras pesquisas investiguem intervenções específicas e modelos
inovadores de coordenação entre equipes multidisciplinares para otimizar a assistência prestada.
Development of a Web-based Tomato Plant Disease Detection and Diagnosis System using Transfer Learning Techniques
Authors: TE Ogunbiyi , AM Mustapha , EJ Eturhobore , MJ Achas , TA Sessi
Published: September 2024

A significant obstacle to agricultural productivity that jeopardizes the availability of food is crop diseases and farmer livelihoods by reducing crop yields. Traditional visual assessment methods for disease diagnosis are effective but complex, often requiring expert observers. Recent advancements in deep learning indicate the potential for increasing accuracy and automating disease identification. Developing accessible diagnostic tools, such as web applications leveraging CNNs, can provide farmers with efficient and accurate disease identification, especially in regions with limited access to advanced diagnostic technologies. The main goal is to develop a productive system that can recognize tomato plant diseases. The model was trained on a collection of images of healthy and damaged tomato leaves from PlantVillage using transfer learning techniques. The images from the dataset were cleansed by resizing them from 256 × 256 to 224 × 224 to match the dimensions used in pre-trained models using min-max normalization. An evaluation of VGG16, VGG19, and DenseNet121 models based on performance accuracy and loss value for 7 categories of tomatoes guided the selection of the most effective model for practical application. VGG16 achieved 84.54% accuracy, VGG19 achieved 84.62%, and DenseNet121 achieved 98.28%, making DenseNet121 the chosen model due to its highest performance accuracy. The web application development based on the DenseNet121 architecture was integrated using the Django web framework, which is built on Python. This enables real-time disease diagnosis for uploaded images of tomato leaves. The proposed system allows early detection and diagnosis of tomato plant diseases, helping to mitigate crop losses. This supports sustainable farming practices and increases agricultural productivity.

Published: September 2024

Subak Padanggalak is one of the agricultural areas of Denpasar City which was developed as educational tourism to support the sustainability of urban agriculture. The problems faced by partner groups include: there is no management of agricultural waste, they have not implemented organic-based farming, and they have not managed educational tour packages optimally. The aim of the program is community empowerment through zero-waste-based agricultural waste management in supporting the development of urban Subak edutourism. The PKM method uses knowledge transfer based on a participatory action program. The research results showed that before the training, knowledge of integrated waste management into organic products applied increased from 27.50% less interested to 62.50 to very interested. Meanwhile, participants' interest in applying and selling the product was from 63.00% quite interested, increasing to 74.50% of people saying they were very interested.
