Gain of Function Recyclable Photoswitches: Reversible Simultaneous Substitution and Photochromism Generation
Authors: Zitzmann Max , Fröhling Matthias , Dube Henry
Published: August 2023

The use of molecular photoswitches has spread to virtually every field of pure and applied chemistry because of the extraordinary level of control they provide over the behavior of matter at smallest scales. Photoswitches possess at least two different states with distinct structures and/or electronics and further functionalization of their core chromophore structures is needed to tailor them for a specific application. In this work we present a different concept for the generation and use of molecular photoswitches. It allows not only simultaneous establishment of photochromism and functionalization, but also full recyclability of a non-photochromic precursor material. Using a high-yielding and reversible ammonium salt formation, a functional group is introduced into a symmetric precursor while at the same time a strong electronic push-pull character is established in the structure. The resulting desymmetrization leads to efficient photoswitching capacity and the functional group can be fully removed subsequently by a simple heating step recovering the precursor for another functionalization round. We finally demonstrate feasibility of this concept over two consecutive closed loop functionalization/photoswitching/recovery steps. This concept offers great potential in any chemical research and application driven area but especially for the creation of responsive reprogrammable materials, no-background photoswitch labeling, and sustainable chemistry.
El hombre absurdo y el miedo a la libertad: resonancias kafkianas en la lectura de Erich Fromm, una premonición de nuestro tiempo
Authors: Padilla Díaz Jorge
Published: August 2023

En su obra El miedo a la libertad, publicada en 1941, el psicólogo y psicoanalista alemán Erich Fromm desenmascara de forma casi vertiginosa una tendencia ambivalente, inherente a las sociedades modernas, según la cual la libertad conquistada por el ciudadano medio en las democracias del sistema capitalista es directamente proporcional al crecimiento de un generalizado sentimiento de soledad, impotencia e insignificancia. Esta situación empuja al individuo a buscar algún tipo de subterfugio o paliativo mediante el cual consiga contrarrestar dicha sensación de angustia. En este ensayo, me propongo abordar la correlación entre la absurda coherencia del universo kafkiano y las ideas de Fromm con respecto a los mecanismos, desarrollados desde la ética protestante y exacerbados por el espíritu del capitalismo tardío, que para el cumplimiento de tal fin se sirvió nuestra sociedad occidental, y contrastarlos con la problemática actual. Sabemos que si algo destaca dentro de la irracionalidad racional que significa toda la obra de Kafka es precisamente ese “miedo inconsciente a la libertad” que obliga a sus personajes a encerrarse dentro del incuestionable marco del sometimiento —o sumisión, como diría Fromm— al gran Otro y cumplimiento de las normas sociales establecidas, lo que a su vez se articula como una suerte de refugio aislado de la caótica realidad exterior, si bien a expensas del bienestar tanto físico —como sucede en La metamorfosis o en El artista del hambre— como psicológico —en el caso de El proceso o El castillo— del protagonista en cuestión.

Modeling of rectification of a nonlinear-elastic cylindrical layer taking into account the change in the direction of transversal isotropy
Authors: Белкин Антон Эдуардович
Published: August 2023

В статье рассмотрена математическая модель деформации тела из несжимаемого трансверсально-изотропного нелинейно-упругого материала. Особое внимание в статье уделяется векторной характеристике трансверсально-изотропного тела, указывающей направление оси трансверсальной изотропии, а также изменению данной характеристики при деформации. Отмечается, что при деформации определённого вида трансверсально-изотропный материал ведёт себя как материал Трелоара. Исследуется частный случай задачи о деформации несжимаемого трансверсально-изотропного нелинейно-упругого цилиндрического слоя, для этого случая получено точное аналитическое решение задачи.

The article considers a mathematical model of the deformation of a body made of an incompressible transversally isotropic nonlinear elastic material. Particular attention is paid to the vector characteristic of a transversally isotropic body, which indicates the direction of the axis of transversal isotropy, as well as to the change in this characteristic during deformation. It is noted that under deformation of a certain type, a transversely isotropic material behaves like a Treloar material. A special case of the problem of deformation of an incompressible transversally isotropic nonlinear elastic cylindrical layer is studied, and an exact analytical solution of the problem is obtained for this case.

В статье исследуется асимптотическое поведение числа максимальных деревьев в модели графов предпочтительного присоединения. В предлагаемой модели рассматривается последовательность графов, которая строится по следующему рекурсивному правилу. Мы начинаем построение с полного графа на $m+1$ вершине, $m>1$. Затем на $n+1$-ом шаге мы добавляем вершину $n+1$ и проводим из нее $m$ ребер в различные вершины, выбранные с вероятностями, пропорциональными их степеням плюс некоторый положительный параметр $\beta$. В статье получен результат о скорости сходимости числа максимальных деревьев в указанной модели с помощью стохастической аппроксимации.

We study the asymptotic behavior of the number of maximal trees in the preferential attachment model. In our model, we consider a sequence of graphs built by the following recursive rule. We start with the complete graph on $m+1$ vertices, $m>1$. Then on the $n+1$ step, we add vertex $n+1$ and draw $m$ edges from it to different vertices from $1,\ldots,n$, chosen with probabilities proportional to their degrees plus some positive parameter $\beta$. We prove the convergence speed for the number of maximal trees in such a model using the stochastic approximation technique.

This article describes the syntagmatic and paradigmatic approaches to language. This is to distinguish two different approaches or perspectives on language because language units can explore syntagmatic and paradigmatic connections. The syntagmatic approach is contrasted with the paradigmatic approach approach to studying three different levels of analysis namely, phonology, morphology, and syntax, as a sub-discipline of linguistics. In other words, the subject matter for studying the two different approaches is mainly related to linguistic forms, phonemes (the study of sound changes at the level) structure of sounds, known as phonology), and morphemes (the study of words). structure at the level of internal word structure, known as morphology), and words (the study of how words combine to form grammatical sentences, known as syntax). This article also discusses the application of syntagmatic and paradigmatic in language teaching. AbstrakArtikel ini menjelaskan tentang pendekatan sintagmatik dan paradigmatik pada bahasa.

Published: August 2023

This research aims to map the types of conflicts that occurred in Maluku Province. Data had collected through interviews, recording techniques, and secondary sources in books, newspapers, reports, and media coverage. The study results show that the Maluku conflicts are generally related to socio-cultural aspects because the problem of petuanan land boundaries and differences in views about adat are still the main causes. The general type of conflict is external/horizontal because it occurs between neighboring countries or villages and only involves community groups. It is manifest (open) due to physical contact and mutual attacks between community members. Apart from the conflict due to cultural aspects, other aspects also contributed to the conflict in Maluku, namely the economic aspect. The economic aspect arises because of competition to meet the needs of life. AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah memetakan jenis-jenis konflik yang terjadi di Provinsi Maluku. Data dikumpulkan melalui teknik wawancara dan perekaman serta ditunjang dengan sumber sekunder berupa buku, koran, laporan, dan pemeberitaan di media. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konflik Maluku umumnya terkait dengan aspek sosial budaya karena masalah batas tanah petuanan dan perbedaan-perbedaan pandangan tentang adat masih menjadi penyebab pokok. Jenis konflik umumnya, eksternal/horisontal karena terjadi antara negeri-negeri atau desa-desa bertetangga dan hanya melibatkan kelompok-kelompok masyarakat dan bersifat manifes (terbuka) karena adanya kontak fisik dan saling menyerang antar warga masyarakat. Selain konflik dikarenakan aspke budaya, aspek lainnya juga turut membentuk konflik di Maluku, yakni aspek ekonomi. Aspek ekonomi muncul karena adanya persaingan dalam upaya memenuhi kebutuhan hidup.

Postpandemic Nominal Wage Growth: Inflation Pass-Through or Labor Market Imbalance?
Authors: DeLuca Martin J. , Van Zandweghe Willem H.
Published: August 2023

Measures of wage growth have increased substantially during and after the pandemic compared to their average levels in the decade before. Does higher wage growth reflect compensation for a higher cost of living, brought about by an increase in inflation in the past two years? Or has an imbalance between strong labor demand and restrained labor supply lifted wage growth? Using a new empirical wage Phillips curve model, we find that the increase in wage growth largely reflects the pass-through of higher inflation and does not reflect labor market imbalances. The model forecasts a decline in wage growth to about 3 percent annually by 2025.
Refining of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) viscera oil with different sodium
hydroxide concentrations
Authors: Purnamayati L. , Istianisa W. , Sumardianto  , Suharto S.
Published: August 2023

Crude fish oil cannot be applied to various products or consumed because its
characteristics did not meet the food safety standards. Thus, it needs a purification process
using NaOH to reduce the value of free fatty acids. This study was performed to determine
the effect of NaOH on the characteristics of Tilapia’s viscera oil and to determine the best
concentration. This study was an experimental laboratory using the Completely
Randomized Design with different concentrations of NaOH 1%, 2% and 3% with
triplication. Parametric data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by HSD, while nonparametric data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and followed by the Mann-Whitney test.
The difference in NaOH concentration indicated that the higher the NaOH concentration,
the lower the value of free fatty acids, peroxide, p-Anisidine, and total oxidation. The
results showed that the different concentrations of NaOH showed a significantly different
effect (P<5%) on free fatty acids, peroxide number, p-Anisidine, total oxidation, and
organoleptic. The best concentration of NaOH in this study was 2% with the value of free
fatty acids, peroxide value, p-Anisidine, total oxidation, and organoleptic of 1.51%, 2.044
meq/kg, 9.50 meq/kg, 13.20 meq/kg, and 8.06; respectively.
Investigating the Insulin Sensitizing Effects of Metformin and Myo-Inositol in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol
Authors: Abou-Seido Nadine , Yaqub Manaal , Desouza Angelique
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder characterized by ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and metabolic dysregulation. Insulin resistance (IR) is a common hallmark of PCOS and contributes to metabolic dysfunction. A combination of lifestyle changes and symptom management treatments can help manage the condition. Metformin and myo-inositol (MI) have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce excess androgen levels in women with PCOS, but there is a lack of research on the effects of combinatory therapy of MI and metformin. This study aims to investigate the hypothesis that a combination of MI and metformin will result in improved insulin sensitivity and clinical outcomes of PCOS. Methods: The study is a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial examining 60 women diagnosed with PCOS that demonstrate the presence of IR. Participants are randomized to one of the following treatments over a six-month period: metformin (MET), inositol (INO), combined metformin and inositol (MET-INO) or placebo-control (CON). BMI, LH:FSH ratio, and the Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) were assessed at day 0, day 84 and day 168. Anticipated Results: It is anticipated that the MET-INO group will have the most profound effects following intervention, with a decrease in BMI by 3-4%, a decrease in LH:FSH ratio by 30-40%, and a decrease in HOMA-IR by 1-1.5. MET group is expected to have a significant decrease in BMI by 2-3%, a decrease in LH:FSH ratio by 20-30%, and a decrease in HOMA-IR by 0.5-1.5. The INO group is anticipated to experience a significant decrease in BMI by 1-2%, a decrease in LH:FSH ratio by 10-20%, and a decrease in HOMA-IR by 0.2-0.4. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that a combination therapy of metformin and MI may offer a more effective treatment option for improving insulin sensitivity in women with PCOS, compared to metformin or inositol treatment alone. These results have important implications for patients with PCOS and clinicians managing their care. Future studies should further investigate the effectiveness and long-term effects of these treatments.
Revisiting the personal protective equipment components of transmission-based precautions for the prevention of COVID-19 and other respiratory virus infections in healthcare

Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted some potential limitations of transmission-based precautions. The distinction between transmission through large droplets vs aerosols, which have been fundamental concepts guiding infection control measures, has been questioned, leading to considerable variation in expert recommendations on transmission-based precautions for COVID-19. Furthermore, the application of elements of contact precautions, such as the use of gloves and gowns, is based on low-quality and inconclusive evidence and may have unintended consequences, such as increased incidence of healthcare-associated infections and spread of multidrug-resistant organisms. These observations indicate a need for high-quality studies to address the knowledge gaps and a need to revisit the theoretical background regarding various modes of transmission and the definitions of terms related to transmission. Further, we should examine the implications these definitions have on the following components of transmission-based precautions: (i) respiratory protection, (ii) use of gloves and gowns for the prevention of respiratory virus infections, (iii) aerosol-generating procedures and (iv) universal masking in healthcare settings as a control measure especially during seasonal epidemics. Such a review would ensure that transmission-based precautions are consistent and rationally based on available evidence, which would facilitate decision-making, guidance development and training, as well as their application in practice.

Objetivou descrever como se deu a promoção de debates no âmbito da Pandemia e Infodemia, visto que os debates mostraram ser fontes de informação. É estudo de caso de natureza híbrida quantiqualitativa, em que se buscou extrair as essências de indicadores e construções teóricas que compõem o corpus. Adotou-se o método exploratório, pois através dele pode-se compreender a interseção entre Pandemia e a Infodemia, e o viés teórico se apoiou nas discussões quanto à responsabilidade social sobre os processos que permeiam o fazer profissional e científico em Biblioteconomia. Optou-se pela inclinação epistêmica polidisciplinar, que é caracterizada pela agregação de disciplinas de um objeto que lhes é comum. O projeto de extensão universitária promoveu 63 palestras, ação que se deu por duas perspectivas que envolvem os usuários de informação e profissionais da informação, sobretudo, o bibliotecário. Neste sentido, a contribuição da biblioteconomia, das bibliotecas e dos bibliotecários, através da responsabilidade social e da extensão universitária na minimização das problemáticas informacionais da Pandemia e Infodemia, ocorre quando os debates foram materializados em objeto informacionais, e como fontes de informação seguras e de fácil acesso e linguagem simples para de auxílio no enfrentamento da pandemia e infodemia.

Identifica o perfil e a satisfação dos concluintes de quatro turmas do curso Gestão Arquivística de Processos e Documentos por meio do Sistema Integrado de Patrimônio, Administração e Contratos (Sipac) e Assentamentos Digitais promovido pela Pró-Reitoria de Gestão de Pessoas (PROGEPE). As disciplinas foram ofertadas entre 2020 e 2021, no uso do sistema adotado pela Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE). Esta pesquisa possui características do estudo de usuário tradicional, pois realizamos o levantamento quantitativo de dados a respeito dos concluintes como sexo, idade, estado civil, escolaridade, identificando o nível de satisfação, seguindo uma abordagem direcionada a compreender o uso do sistema, buscando proporcionar um produto adequado para ele. No entanto, acaba esbarrando numa perspectiva qualitativa durante a análise dos dados, quando os resultados reconhecem questões de usabilidade apontadas pelos usuários. Para o levantamento dos dados, utilizou-se como instrumento o questionário misto, composto por questões abertas e fechadas, além de utilizar a Escala de Likert para medir o grau de satisfação dos usuários com os respectivos dados apresentados em tabelas, gráficos e listas. Por fim, o estudo apresenta um cenário que deve ser considerado nas políticas institucionais e de gestão da informação, considerando desenvolver competências nos seus usuários, reunir e mediar a informação necessária para cada vez mais oferecer um serviço público de qualidade e eficiente.

ADVOCACIA MULTIFUNCIONAL E COMPLIANCE: UMA COMBINAÇÃO NECESSÁRIA
Authors: Souza Costa Camile
Published: August 2023

O presente artigo objetiva analisar as concretas mudanças e aprimoramentos necessários para uma advocacia multifuncional, que convoca o profissional jurídico a atuar no compliance utilizando com primor a ampla gama tecnológica disponível, a fim de se tornar o parceiro especializado de seu cliente. Aborda a advocacia multifuncional enquanto atividade profissional realizada em formato de parceria estratégica, utilizando a tecnologia lado a lado às próprias habilidades humanas e competências técnicas jurídicas (as chamadas, respectivamente, soft e hard skills), para aprimorar os serviços prestados e permitir a estruturação consistente de processos de compliance. Por meio da apresentação deste novo mindset, a advocacia é vista neste trabalho como atividade exercida de maneira proativa, de forma que o advogado ou advogada deixa o lugar único de “fighter” (lutador): que luta pelos direitos do cliente, e passa a atuar também, e principalmente, como designer e “problem solver” (solucionador de problemas): que desenha ambientes/contextos e estimula relações que previnem o conflito e utilizam a criatividade para resolvê-lo. A metodologia é a bibliográfica, com aportes empíricos, e os resultados são a constatação dos benefícios da atuação analisada.

Coaching has become an important approach to support self-management of patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in healthcare education. Studies conducted in European countries have emphasized the significance of formal coaching training in enhancing the competencies of healthcare students. However, in Southeast Asia, where NCDs pose a serious public health concern, there is a lack of such training opportunities. To address this issue, an exploratory pre and post study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the DigiCare educational intervention in improving clinical coaching skills. Nursing and medical students from six universities in Vietnam and Bangladesh were invited to participate. The intervention included both theoretical and practical classes with interactive methods and home assignments, with a total duration of over 10 contact hours. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted using the Self-Efficacy and Performance in Self-management Support instrument, which was translated and culturally adapted to both countries. Statistical analysis showed a significant improvement in students’ overall competence scores from before (M = 2.6, SD = .67) to after the intervention (M = 3.05, SD = .55), with a medium effect size (p < .001; d = .73). The DigiCare educational intervention appears to be a low-cost and meaningful addition to the curriculum of both nursing and medical universities across countries, with potential benefits in the development of students’ clinical coaching competencies.

In an aging society, healthcare professionals and students face increasing demands to actively involve patients in the decision-making process regarding their health conditions and lifestyles. Self-management support is considered a best practice that aligns with the patient-centered care paradigm in Bangladesh. However, there is currently no instrument available to assess healthcare professionals’ competencies in this field, particularly during their early education and training period. The aim of this study was to translate the Self Efficiency and Performance in Self-management Support (SEPSS) instrument into Bangla and validate its psychometric properties in a sample of undergraduate healthcare students in Bangladeshi higher education institutions. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the reliability, validity, and cultural appropriateness of the Bangla version of SEPSS-36 among 486 nursing and medical students. Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out using the chi-square model fit index (CMIN), comparative fit index (CFI), and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) as fit indices. The internal consistency was estimated by the Cronbach alpha coefficient. The results indicate that the CMIN (2.658) and RMSEA (.058) values suggest that the sample data and hypothetical model are an acceptable fit in the analysis, with satisfactory CFI values (.895). The reliability for all SEPSS dimensions was acceptable. The Bangla version of the SEPSS questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument that can assist healthcare educators and researchers in determining students’ competencies within this domain.
