Distinct patterns of spatial attentional modulation of steady state visual evoked magnetic fields (SSVEFs) in subdivisions of the human early visual cortex
Authors: Moratti Stephan , Gundlach Christopher , Echegaray Javi , Müller Matthias
Published: June 2023

In recent years, steady state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) became
an increasingly valuable tool to investigate neural dynamics of
competitive attentional interactions and brain computer interfaces. This
is due to their good signal-to-noise ratio, allowing for single trial
analysis and their ongoing oscillating nature that enables to analyze
temporal dynamics of facilitation and suppression. Given the popularity
of SSVEPs, it is surprising that only a few studies looked at the
cortical sources of these responses. This is in particular the case when
searching for studies that assessed the cortical sources of attentional
SSVEP amplitude modulations. To address this issue, we used a typical
spatial attention task and recorded neuromagnetic fields (MEG) while
presenting frequency-tagged stimuli in the left and right visual field,
respectively. Importantly, we controlled for attentional deployment in a
baseline period before the shifting cue. Subjects either attended to a
central fixation cross or to two peripheral stimuli simultaneously.
Results clearly showed that signal sources and attention effects were
restricted to early visual cortex: V1, V2, hMT+, precuneus,
occipital-parietal and inferior-temporal cortex. When subjects attended
to central fixation first, shifting attention to one of the peripheral
stimuli resulted in a significant activation increase for the
to-be-attended stimulus with no activation decrease for the
to-be-ignored stimulus in hMT+ and inferio-temporal cortex, but
significant SSVEF decreases from V1 to occipito-parietal cortex. When
attention was first deployed to both rings, shifting attention away from
one ring basically resulted in a significant activation decrease in all
areas for the then to-be-ignored stimulus.
Job satisfaction among brazilian federal public servants:
Authors: Cabral Daniel Barbosa
Published: June 2023

This research aimed to analyze and classify aspects of job satisfaction from the perspective of public servants in Brazil. A questionnaire based on the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) was used to collect data from a statistically significant sample composed of 139 employees of a Brazilian public higher education institution. Data were analyzed using a combination of descriptive, correlational, and multivariate statistical techniques, hypothesis testing, and cluster analysis. The psychometric quality of the scale (one-dimensionality, convergent, and discriminant validity) was examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), complemented by reliability measures (Cronbach's alpha coefficient and Composite Reliability). The results of this study converged with other studies that assess the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) as valid, stable, and of good psychometric quality. Among the dimensions of the JSS, co-workers, managers, and the nature of work stood out as strengths in labor relations, and promotions and remuneration, as weaknesses. These results reflect the differences and imbalances in the various careers in public administration, especially about recognition for the work performed.

Authors: Sá Ivan Cardoso , Sanchez Renato de Brito , Salgado Maria Helena Veloso , Marquardt Gisele Carolina
Published: June 2023

O presente estudo analisou as ações de Responsabilidade Socioambiental em uma Instituição de ensino superior (IES), no Município de Guarulhos, Estado de São Paulo. Para tanto, utilizamos o Modelo de Avaliação ISE B3 Versão 2020 aplicada a IES de interesse por meio de formulário construído e disponibilizado em endereço eletrônico. Com objetivo de avaliar a percepção ambiental dos respondentes do IES foi realizado estudo descritivo das informações coletadas, que contempla montagem do banco de dados e tabelas com números absolutos. Como resultado, destacamos as possibilidades de novas contribuições sobre responsabilidade socioambiental. Observou-se que a IES analisada obteve um escore de 75,15 de um total de 100 pontos possíveis com relação ao índice aplicado. Por se tratar de uma IES de capital fechado e de atender apenas um dos eixos trabalhados pela ISE B3 (2022), é possível inferir que, atualmente, a IES apresenta bons resultados nas questões socioambientais. Partindo dessas reflexões, a responsabilidade socioambiental da IES evidencia não apenas conceitos, mas sim estratégias e o seu engajamento para com todos os stakeholders, ressaltando os valores e práticas da IES, adequados à realidade e parâmetros respeitados, como é a ISE B3. Destaca-se que outro indicador que já está em processo de desenvolvimento de forma estratégica é o capital humano, da instituição e ao entorno por meio de adoção de indicadores de Desenvolvimento Humano e Organizacional. Fazer uso do ISE B3 de forma gradativa, dependerá das políticas e estratégias de cada instituição. Os resultados, que poderão ser alcançados, colaboram para compreensão bem como o potencial das instituições, a fim de contribuir de forma estratégica para o desenvolvimento socioambiental.
The effective skyline quantify-utility patterns mining algorithm with pruning strategies
Authors: Wu Jimmy , Li Ranran , Hsu Pi-Chung , Wu Mu-En
Published: June 2023

Frequent itemset mining and high-utility itemset mining have been widely applied to the extraction of useful information from databases. However, with the proliferation of the Internet of Things, smart devices are generating vast amounts of data daily, and studies focusing on individual dimensions are increasingly unable to support decision-making. Hence, the concept of a skyline query considering frequency and utility (which returns a set of points that are not dominated by other points) was introduced. However, in most cases, firms are concerned about not only the frequency of purchases but also quantities. The skyline quantity-utility pattern (SQUP) considers both the quantity and utility of items. This paper proposes two algorithms, FSKYQUP-Miner and FSKYQUP, to efficiently mine SQUPs. The algorithms are based on the utility-quantity list structure and include an effective pruning strategy which calculates the minimum utility of SQUPs after one scan of the database and prunes undesired items in advance, which greatly reduces the number of concatenation operations. Furthermore, this paper proposes an array structure superior to utilmax for storing the maximum utility of quantities, which further improves the efficiency of pruning. Extensive comparison experiments on different datasets show that the proposed algorithms find all SQUPs accurately and efficiently.

Informasi di SD merupakan unsur pokok yang secara implisit melekat dalam konsep pembangunan yang terencara. Meskipun peranan  informasi di dalam beberapa dekade kurang mendapat perhatian, namun sesungguhnya kebutuhan akan informasi di SD merupakan hal yang tidak kalah pentingnya dari kebutuhan sandang dan pangan bagi siswa sekoal dasar. Kegiatan pembangunan manapun hanya dapat berlangsung dan bisa mencapai sasaran bila dalam setiap tahapnya atau perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan pengawasan - didasarkan pada informasi yang memadai. Informasi memang diperoleh melalui kegiatan komunikasi tetapi yang sesungguhnya menentukan nilai komunikasi siswa sekolah dasar adalah informasi yang di bawa oleh seorang guru. Revolusi informasi, biasanya difahami sebagai perubahan yang di hasilkan oleh teknologi komunikasi Siswa SD paling penting adalah teknologi untuk menyalurkan informasi dan sistem komputer modern untuk memprosesnya. Dikatakan revolusi karena karena dapat memberikan perubahan yang sangat cepat dalam perkebangan siswa Dasar. Hal yang mendasar dari teknologi komunikasi dan informasi adalah standar. Sementara itu, perkembangan jaringan sangat membutuhkan sebuah standar sistem operasional. Ketika seorang guru menggunakan jaringan untuk berkomunikasi dengan siswanya, maka sesungguhnya secara tidak langsung membutuhkan sistem yang kompatibel antara guru dengan siswanya tersebut. Teknologi memang dapat memberi berbagai dampak positif dan negatif, tetapi dengan pemahaman yang terkait problematika dan dinamakan teknologi yang berkembang, maka setiap individu siswa sekolah dasar yang ada di sebuah Negara menjadi Penguasa teknologi dan bukan sebaliknya menjadi siswa SD yang dikuasai dan dikendalikan oleh teknologi.

A PERSPECTIVE ON COACHING AND ITS INTEGRATION INTO THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL CONTEXT OF SPORT COMPETITION. CASE STUDY: ROMANIAN 3RD LEAGUE, FOOTBALL.

Published: June 2023

The Romanian 3rd Football League is a socio-cultural universe of its own. The large number of participants (teams, players, technical-administrative staff, supporters, etc.), the fact that it takes place in a predominantly rural or small-town setting and its heterogeneous nature give it a specific diversity. Being a coach in this environment is a challenge. Merayo (2021) believes that the coach has to be part of the team, the club and the culture they are part of. However, in Romania's 3rd league, coaching can be considered a veritable art, with circumstances not found in any other sporting context. Coaches change very often, are caught between the same teams, having to radically change their perspective on a team, a player or a context in an extremely short time. Microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem and macrosystem are part of a model proposed by Bronfenbrenner (1976, 1987), and still considered relevant in the sport context by Merayo (2021). We also identify this in the 3rd league. The third league coach spends his whole life caught between these systemic units. And yet the whole coaching process must be seen as part of a competition with strong anthropological valences. So, is it the specific culture of third league football that is best developed in rural or small-town environments, or does the environment of these towns generate the culture of the third league and is it, in fact, a culture of theirs translated into football?

OBJECTIVE

To report acute and chronic outcomes of cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) induced by a remnant kidney model.

ANIMALS

32 purpose-bred cats (n = 15 female, n = 17 male).

PROCEDURES

Cats underwent a 2-stage reduction in renal mass through partial arterial ligation of 1 kidney (day 28) and delayed contralateral nephrectomy (day 0), targeting an 11/12th functional nephrectomy. Acute (days 28 to 29) survival and renal function parameters were compared over time, and the latter were evaluated as predictors for acute mortality. Chronic (days 30 to >1,100) survival, renal function, and morphology were described.

RESULTS

Acutely, renal function deteriorated in all cats (mean ± SD baseline and day 28 serum creatinine mean concentration, 1.13 ± 0.23 mg/dL and 3.03 ± 1.20 mg/dL, respectively; P < .001; and GFR, 3.22 mL/min/kg ± 0.12 and 1.21 mL/min/kg ± 0.08, respectively; P < .001). Seven (22%) cats were euthanized because of clinical signs of uremia after partial nephrectomy. Prenephrectomy renal function tests were not significant indicators for survival during this acute phase. Twenty-five cats entered the chronic phase. Ten cats were euthanized at a median of 163 days from nephrectomy because of progressive renal dysfunction. Median survival times were significantly different when stratified by acute kidney injury grade at day 29. Cats in the chronic phase had clinical courses similar to cats with naturally occurring CKD, and most (13/15) were in CKD stage 2.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The remnant kidney model is effective at reducing kidney function to an extent that mimics important characteristics of spontaneous CKD in cats.
SCLang: Graphical Domain-Specific Modeling Language for Stream Cipher
Authors: Qassir Samar Amil , Gaata Methaq Talib , Sadiq Ahmed T.
Published: June 2023

A Stream Cipher (SC) is a symmetric-key encryption type that scrambles each piece of data in clear text to conceal it from hackers. Despite its advantages, it has a substantial challenge. Correct handwriting of the script code for the cipher scheme is a challenge for programmers. In this paper, we propose a graphical Domain-Specific Modeling Language (DSML) to make it easier for non-technical users and domain specialists to implement an SC domain. The proposed language, SCLang, offers great expressiveness and flexibility. Six different methods of keystream generation are provided to obtain a random sequence. In addition, fifteen tests in the NIST suite are provided for random statistical analysis. The concepts of the SC domain and their relationships are presented in a meta-model. The evaluation of SCLang is based on qualitative analysis and is presented to demonstrate its effectiveness and efficiency.

Published: June 2023

Strawberry fruit quality traits can be affected by genotype-environment interactions, which determine the consumer acceptance of fruits. This factorial experiment was based on completely randomised blocks (RCBD) with two planting dates (5 and 20 April) and cultivars (‘Albion’, ‘San Andreas’ and ‘Portola’) of strawberry with three replications, and some of pomological and qualitative factors of berry were investigated at harvest. The results showed no significant difference on fruit width, length, weight and firmness, while the plant yield and stem diameter (SD) were affected by different cultivars and planting dates. The minimum SD (19.80) was recorded in cv. ‘Portola’ in the planting date of 20 April. Although the lowest fruit yield was achieved in cv. ‘Portola’ at both planting dates, it had the highest titratable acidity (TA) (0.83%) at the first planting date (5 April). The amount of soluble solid concentration (SSC), electrolyte conductivity (EC), pH, TA and chlorophyll were not affected by cultivar and planting dates. The effect of planting dates and cultivar had no significant effect on berry colour. The highest total phenolic (275.44 mg GAE · 100 mL-1 FW) was recorded in cv. ‘San Andreas’ on the planting date of 20 April, while the lowest value (251.22 mg GAE · 100 mL-1 FW) was recorded in cv. ‘Portola’ on the planting date of 5 April. In general, it is suggested that the least fruit yield in strawberry cv. ‘Portola’ can be correlated with the least SD of the cultivar.

Published: June 2023

In the presented paper, we evaluated the quality of work and the economics of use of irrigation system consisting of micro-sprinklers. The experiment took place on the football field in countryside of southwest Slovakia. The original irrigation system was replaced with a modern one, using a control unit, rainfall sensor, in-ground distribution pipes and micro-sprinklers. The irrigation system consisted of components forming the main and detailed irrigation equipment for irrigating an area of 4,272 m2. The water source was a drilled well with a depth of 80 m. Detailed irrigation equipment consisted of sector micro sprinklers of two types. We monitored 13 rotary micro-sprinklers on the given playground in total. During the measurements, we proceeded according to the international standard ISO 7749-2, while the rain measuring containers were distributed into eight beams. The value of the quality of the work of individual sprinklers, expressed by the coefficient of uniformity of spraying, reached a maximum of 78.18%, but with total coverage it was higher than 90%. Anova statistical analysis did not show a significant dependence of the quality of work on the type of micro-sprinkler (for micro-sprinklers A1, A2 A3: F = 2.95, P >0.05; for micro-sprinklers B, C: F = 0.35, P >0.05). From the viewpoint of evaluating the economic return, the investment proved to return within the period of 4.2 years.
Bioeconomy Adaptation to Climate Change: A Case Study of Food Waste in Slovakia
Authors: Lazorčáková Ema , Rajčániová Miroslava
Published: June 2023

Climate change, periods of droughts or, conversely, increased rainfall significantly affect agronomic patterns and biomass production. In addition, if agriculture and food industry compete with other industries for land and biomass, the priority is given to agro-food use and ensuring food security. This is the main reason why food waste is a promising alternative source of biomass for the industrial segment of the bioeconomy. Moreover, the reuse of food waste leads to circular and sustainable value chains. The aim of this paper is to explore the situation of food waste utilization in Slovakia. We assess the current level of food waste produced by households and its potential as a biomass source. However, to convert food waste into a valid industrial input, it has to be collected separately. The study shows the practice of food waste collection in two Slovak cities, where food waste is used to produce soil substrate and bioelectricity, respectively.

This research work offers a description of the main tax obligations of workers residing abroad, showing the difference between the tax on salaries paid to them and the salary paid to national workers, resulting in an economic disadvantage for national workers. This shows a violation of the principle of equity, established in article 31, section IV, of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States. Therefore, this will be an exploratory and comparative investigation of the tax control of salaries paid to workers residing abroad and to nationals, that allows us to identify inequality in remuneration for work of equal value.
Coming back from war: psychosocial support for veterans and their family members
Authors: Stoliaryk Olha , Semigina Tetyana
Published: June 2023

The Russian-Ukrainian war, which escalated in connection with the full-scale invasion of the aggressor country in February 2022 and the occupation of a large part of the territory of Ukraine, led to an increase in the number of veterans who suffered the trauma of a high degree of intensity due to participation in armed conflicts.

The article examines the specifics of the veteran community as a category of social work clients and reveals the methods of providing social support based on an approach focused on clients' strengths. The main stages of veteran psychosocial support inherent in this approach have been determined (1) the mobilization phase; (2) the stage of being in the zone of armed conflicts and hostilities; (3) stage of demobilization, returning home; (4) the stage of reintegration into the community and family, building of formal and informal support networks; (5) the stage of considering new life meanings , taking care of one's own "I", searching for oneself; (6) the stage of normalization of life situation: restoration of routine, activity, return to usual activities.

Since traumatic experiences affect not only veterans but also members of the family system as the immediate environment, the psychosocial services provided must be family-oriented and consider the family context as a resource environment that can influence the adaptation process of veterans to peaceful life and return to the family. It is advisable for social workers to choose tools for working with veterans that are not capable of harming their clients and that rely on activating the strengths of individuals and families, to observe the general principles of the strengths-based approach.

Ethical risks and obstacles that may arise in the work of a social work specialist, taking into account the specific experience of veterans and complicating the process of applying the strengths perspective, are analyzed.

The Middle East has been, and continues to be, the most influential environment for Turkey in shaping its foreign policy strategy. That Turkey's ability to maintain the elements of regional power must be achieved by building a comprehensive strategic perspective capable of expressing its interests and security. That perspective, and that some adjustments have been made to it by virtue of the changes that are occurring, but it remains the basic principle of the entire movement in the Middle East for the coming years. The ability of the state as a regional actor within an area of ​​influence still subject to comprehensive factors of change, such as the Middle East, requires a lot of preparedness and adaptation to achieve its strategic vision that reflects its security and interests. In fact, Turkey has been able to maintain its regional role in the Middle East by developing a strategic vision that matches its capabilities.
The challenges of rail linkage between Iraq and Kuwait and the opportunities for national alternatives (the port of Faw، the dry canal، and the link with the Belt and Road project as a model)"
Authors: SAAD OBAID ALWAN AL SAEEDI
Published: June 2023

Decision-makers in each country work to define a list of internal and external interests، goals and threats to their countries according to the nature of their awareness of these interests، goals and threats. 

  Hence، Iraq is not an exception to this rule، and the process of evaluating its interests and the objectives of its foreign policy is subject to the pattern of awareness of decision-makers and the influencing forces in defining its basic interests، which often witness some kind of difference in defining them، evaluating their importance and determining the size of the threats they face. And among these interests and threats that have witnessed a difference in the assessment of their importance or danger is the railway connection with Kuwait or other countries، including Iran،

At a time when some political forces and some personalities see the importance of the railway connection to Iraq، others، and with them the majority of the Iraqi people، see the danger of this connection to the interests of Iraq. In particular، its negative impact on the completion of the construction of the Grand Port of Faw and the dry canal، which are considered major national projects on which they are relied upon in creating a major development leap that mitigates the impact of the rentier impact of the economy and contributes to diversifying the national economy Especially when it is successful in linking with international trade projects، including the Chinese Belt and Road project، which will give Iraq an important economic-strategic advantage.
" The origins of the neo-conservative political thought between Straussie and Trotskyism and its implications for the Arab region"
Authors: Husam  kassyai Hussein
Published: June 2023

The origins of the political thought of the neo-conservative movement stem from non-American European references, and non-Christian Jewish theological beliefs, especially the ideas of Leo Strauss, the German Jewish thinker, and Leo Trotsky, the Russian Jewish thinker who formulated the idea of ​​the neo-conservative movement with this conclusion that drew its horizons to the world, especially the Middle East from In order to achieve the greatness of the American Empire, its hegemony and its sovereignty over the whole world, and because the theological references of the movement are of Jewish fundamentalism (Strauss and Trotsky), this opened the door of ideological affiliation to the movement in front of the Jews of America and Europe. And then, in a geopolitical way, it affected the Middle East, where securing the existence of (the Zionist entity) / “the State of Israel” required that intervention in the affairs of the countries of the Arab region as neighbors of the Zionist entity, and demanded a just solution to the Palestinian issue, and this influence is one of the most prominent pillars and foundations of the political thought of the neo-conservative movement In the USA and the world.

It seems that the influence of the revolutionary Trotskyite philosophy is more evident in neo-conservative thought than the influence of Straussian philosophy, although this reference was not explicitly declared in the literature of American political thought or political thought critical of neo-conservative thought, which is what we perceive in this study as new, especially if We looked at the origins of the Zionist movement in its infancy with "Leo Pinsker", "Theodor Herzl", "Vladimir-Raif Jabotinsky" who write down the most socialist whose heirs from the Zionists benefited from the exploitation and employment of Trotsky's socialist ideas to a greater extent than Strauss, and they presented the socialist system over the liberal in formulating the idea Zionism

The aim of this activity is to facilitate elderly to access health service and connected the role of some institutions for providing appropriate intervention. The method of this activity was a discussion with related institutions in online health screening of elderly integrated health service. Then, we conduct health screening using online questionnaire. Based on data, we analyze elderly with health problems to get home visit for further examination and give therapy and education. Result of these activity, we found 58 persons (16,02%) with health problem, 42 (11,6%) persons are having mental emotional disorder, 205 (69,05%) with risk of fall, and 53 (14,6%) are having cognitive impairment, 37 and 133 are low nutrition and obesity. Only health institutions give intervention for those elderly with health problem and have to gain awareness and advocation for planning action for elderly based on their roles.

Industri tuna loin menyisakan limbah berupa tetelan daging tipis bercampur serat yang cukup banyak. Tetelan tuna memiliki prospek pengembangan yang cukup baik karena  dapat digunakan sebagai bahan dasar pembuatan surimi.  Surimi merupakan intermediate product memiliki kandungan protein fungsional yang tinggi dan telah dikenal di seluruh dunia.   Surimi merupakan bahan baku fish jelly product seperti kaki naga, bakso, nuget dan lain-lain.  Berdasarkan hasil observasi ternyata bahwa tetelan tuna belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Masyarakat di wilayah Klasis Pulau Ambon Utara belum mengetahui pengolahan surimi dan peluang pengembangannya menjadi berbagai produk yang berdaya saing.  Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah untuk memanfaatkan tetelan tuna melalui penerapan teknologi surimi dan pengolahan produk kakinaga kepada ibu rumahtangga dari beberapa desa di pulau Ambon Utara sehingga dapat menjadikannya sebagai sumber pendapatan baru untuk meningkatkan ekonomi keluarga.  Hasil uji T sampel berpasangan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pengetahuan khalayak sasaran antara sebelum dan sesudah diberikan penyuluhan tentang teknologi surimi dan pengolahan surimi menjadi produk kaki naga. Rata-rata skor nilai post test dari 30 peserta pelatihan meningkat sebesar 59,39% setelah diberikan penyuluhan dan pelatihan. Hasil evaluasi akhir untuk praktek uji coba pengolahan surimi dan kaki naga menunjukkan bahwa 90 % peserta cukup trampil dalam melakukan pengolahan kedua produk tersebut.

Этнический фактор развития человеческого потенциала Калмыкии и Тувы: сравнительный анализ

В статье представлен сравнительный анализ проблем в современном развитии человеческого потенциала в двух республиках России — Республике Калмыкия и Республике Тыва, которые занимают относительно близкие позиции по индексу человеческого развития. Выводы исследования основаны на анализе научной литературы по данной проблематике, результатах предыдущих социологических опросов населения, выполненных авторами в республиках Калмыкия и Тува, а также данных экспертных интервью (по 16 экспертов в каждой республике), ставших основной эмпирической базой данной статьи. Интервью в республиках проводились в период с декабря 2020 г. по январь 2021 г.

Современные исследования регионального развития направлены, прежде всего, на углубление понимания человеческого потенциала. Поскольку показатели ограничены, развита теневая экономика и есть особенности государственной политики перераспределения, возрастает интерес к использованию качественных методов исследования. Они могут обеспечить более глубокое изучение особенностей конкретных регионов, включая этнокультурные и другие факторы.

Как отмечают эксперты, этнический фактор оказывает существенное влияние на специфику хозяйственной деятельности коренных народов Калмыкии и Тувы. Опрошенные считают, что традиционные виды хозяйственной деятельности нужно поддерживать, создавать условия для их сохранения и развития. Среди проблем развития человеческого потенциала эксперты Калмыкии отметили закредитованность населения и утрату культурных традиций калмыков. Эксперты Тувы выделяют наиболее распространенные среди тувинцев проблемы, которые обусловлены низкой финансовой грамотностью, проявлением социального иждивенчества, слабой приспособленностью и адаптацией к условиям рыночной экономики. Эксперты из Калмыкии и Тувы указали на равенство в возможностях получения образования и медицинской помощи для всех этносов республик. Отмечается положительная тенденция повышения уровня образования населением Калмыкии и Тувы, что связано с высокой ценностью образования у коренных народов этих республик. Однако данное обстоятельство имеет и негативные последствия: усиливающийся миграционный отток населения из республик, ухудшение владения родными национальными языками и потеря других культурных традиций.

meta-Selective functionalisation of electron-rich arenes provides a non-traditional route to organic synthesis. In classical electrophilic aromatic substitution of electron-donating group-pendant arenes, functionalisation occurs according to ortho- and para-orientation. There have been numerous efforts to overcome this selectivity, and various synthetic methods have been developed, mainly based on transition metal catalysis. Here, we show a new N-heterocyclic carbene and organic photoredox cocatalysis for meta-selective acylation of electron-rich arenes. This approach proceeds without the directing groups or steric factors required in transition metal catalysis, resulting in precisely opposite regioselectivity from conventional approaches such as the Friedel–Crafts acylation. The catalytic system involves a sequence of single electron oxidation of an electron-rich arene followed by the radical–radical coupling between a ketyl radical and an arene radical cation. This protocol will lead to the expeditious synthesis of organic molecules that commonly require multiple steps and rare metals and promotes the construction of libraries of biologically active molecules.
