Soft Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Studying Noncovalent Interactions
Authors: Zenobi Renato
Published: February 2022

Biochemistry and structural biology have benefited tremendously from the development of electrospray ionization and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, the two most important soft ionization methods used in modern mass spectrometry. Of importance in this context is that noncovalently bound complexes can be maintained in the gas phase using appropriate sample preparation conditions and instrumental settings in ESI-MS and MALDI-MS. This allows one to determine the architecture and stoichiometry of large noncovalent complexes, the binding of small molecule ligands and cofactors, and often even noncovalent binding affinities, since bound and unbound states can be clearly resolved and quantified using MS. This article presents an overview of the research in this particular area undertaken by my research group at ETH Zurich. I will introduce a number of specialized technologies that we have available in our laboratory, including MALDI mass spectrometry with high-mass detection for measuring complexes with molecular weights in the 100s of kDa range; the so-called “gap sampler” technology for high-throughput experiments; and a temperature programmed spray source for ESI. A number of selected applications will then be presented, including the study of GPCRs and other membrane proteins and their complexes, the determination of the melting behavior of non-canonical nucleic acid structures, the investigation of heterogeneous protein complexes and protein-based capsids, and the investigation of the influence of protein post-translational modifications on noncovalent binding profiles.
Quantification of Multi-class Cyanopeptides in Swiss Lakes with Automated Extraction, Enrichment and Analysis by Online-SPE HPLC-HRMS/MS
Authors: Jones Martin , Janssen Elisabeth
Published: February 2022

The frequency and intensity of cyanobacterial blooms continue to increase in freshwater systems across the globe. Cyanobacteria can release toxins and several bioactive secondary metabolites and analytical methods are needed to effectively assess their concentrations in surface waters. Since booms can evolve rapidly in parts of a lake, high resolution of spatial and temporal sampling increases the complexity of monitoring efforts. Here, we present the validation of an automated, online-solid phase extraction (SPE) high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (HRMS/MS) method. This online-SPE HPLC-HRMS/MS methods enables quantitative monitoring of surface waters for 17 cyanobacterial peptides (cyanopeptides), spanning 5 distinct cyanopeptide classes, including: microcystins, anabaenopeptins, nodularins, cyclamides and cyanopeptolins. The method can quantify these cyanopeptides in the low ng/L-range with high accuracy (85-116%) and low relative matrix effects (<25%). We demonstrated its application to Swiss lake waters (Zürichsee, Hallwilersee, Greifensee), which also highlighted the value of adding cyanopeptides beyond common microcystins when monitoring surface waters for cyanobacteria.

Dilemmas of Management Psychology in Building a Social Group in Military Institutions
Authors: Wasilewski Paweł
Published: February 2022

Technological progress on the battlefield and the evaluation of the tactics of soldiers' actions entail a change in the philosophy of human resource management in military institutions, and thus a reorientation in the preparation of commanders-leaders to perform this mission. The modern soldier represents a different level of psychophysical resources. The new, more precise and at the same time more complicated to use equipment forces a change in the concept of preparing a soldier to perform tasks. Directing the development of the contemporary battlefield forces the continuous expansion of the cognitive level, both in the general and specialist area. This new approach to soldier formation shifts the centre of gravity in leadership formation to the area of cognitive resource development. This changes the emphasis of training and education towards the theory of social communication underlying the creation of psychophysical resources and issues related to the contemporary psychology of management in the military environment.

Transport – An Instrument For Globalization
Authors: Witte Hermann
Published: February 2022

Transport is generally an instrument for globalization. It is not possible to use transport as an instrument for deglobalization. For compensating the negative effects of globalization on regional and local markets, a world-wide sustainable development process is to be started. This is an idea propagated by United Nations since the publishing of the Brundtland-Report. Sustainability has three components: the social, the ecological and the economic sustainability. Economic sustainability is realized when the (transport) enterprises make no profits and setting the prices is following a price-wage-rule. This rule postulates that the price and wage have to be equal. However, transport can also set incentives for social and ecological sustainability. Transport is no instrument for de-globalization, but an important instrument for compensating the negative effects of globalization. The measures which transport policy has to realize sustainability are not new, but we need to a new world-wide concept for transport policy. We have to accept, that the world is one economic area and not more than two hundred areas. We need only one set of economic rules and not over hundred different sets of rules.
Globalization and Deglobalization – Costs and Benefits, Winners and Losers
Authors: Flejterski Stanisław
Published: February 2022

Still at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21thcentury it was a common belief that the world had just entered a new civilisational paradigm, completely different from all the previous ones in the history of mankind. The new paradigm was called ‘globalization’ and although it had never been precisely defined the term stirred up a very animated dispute: there were fervent enthusiasts and fervent opponents of everything that was so inexactly defined as globalization. Both enthusiasts and opponents agreed what phenomena made globalization up, but the assessment of those phenomena was diametrically different; according to the enthusiasts globalization reduced famine in the world, stimulated development and growth, decreased unemployment, improved the quality of natural environment, created a new global democracy and was the only reasonable option for mankind; and according to the opponents globalization increased famine in the world, made development and growth stop or even diminish, aggravated unemployment, lowered the quality of natural environment, destroyed human solidarity, stimulated corruption and was a path to hell. The impact of globalization and deglobalization on different areas of economy and society is a topic of several discussions and publications.

Authors: Michlowicz Edward , Smolińska Katarzyna
Published: February 2022

The customer market is becoming more and more demanding. Customers want to have influence on the final shape, form, functionality and characteristics of the product. As a result, entrepreneurs are forced to abandon the Make-to-Stock system in favour of the MTO (Make-to-Order) concept, with the purpose of not only meeting the customer’s needs but also, for example, reducing the costs by manufacturing exactly the number of products which is currently demanded on the market. The article describes an example of a production task performed in the cellular structure. The customer required a substantial and abrupt increase (by 65%) of the production task. In order to tackle the problem, logistics engineering and lean manufacturing methods were applied. Having regard to the Industry 4.0 perspective, a concept of automated work cells was presented in order to minimise the role of the operator.

Authors: Comporek Michał
Published: February 2022

The main aim of the article is to emphasize the problem of selecting performance management (PM) indicators in logistics companies. This issue is particularly significant, because the proper selection of PM measures affect on: the effectiveness of the implemented performance measurement system, the nature of information provided to its individual stakeholders, the system of interconnections within the organization, and often even the efficiency of the entire business entity on the market. However, paper draws attention to the potential of deliberately distorting the reported company results by the management team. Hence the secondary goal of the article is to select various tools and/or techniques, which may be helpful in assessing the quality of reporting PM - in relation to the real earnings management (REM). The applied research methods are based on a critical analysis of the literature on the subject matter.

Published: February 2022

The Physical Internet (PI) is the matter of time. There is not any other concept of future logistics so simple and so complicated at the same time. Simple, because we all do it now with data. Complicated, because goods are not so elastic like figures. The range of required transformation of hubs technology before implementing of Physical Internet is massive. Some technologies require only modification, other inventions, not possible nowadays. But it can be assumed, that from technological point of view it will be possible to improve the hubs to required level till 2050. There is still unsolved matter of financing and organization.

Implementation of the Once Only Principle in a Maritime Domain
Authors: Dembecka Dobiesława , Mamrot Szymon
Published: February 2022

The document entitled Study on eGovernment and the Reduction of Administrative Burden indicates three ways to reduce administrative burdens in Europe: implementation of the once-only principle, simplification and personalisation strategies and digital-by-default strategies. The implementation of the once-only principle should be the first step towards reducing administrative burdens, as this principle lays the foundations for the other two strategies. Without the implementation of the once-only principle, it will not be possible to simplify administrative procedures for citizens and businesses, nor will it be possible to digitalize them. Numerous measures are being taken in Europe to put the once-only principle into practice, but they primarily focus on the implementation of this principle at the national level. For the first time, the TOOP project undertook to develop a technical solution that will enable the implementation of the once-only principle at the European (cross-border) level. What is important, this solution will be practically tested by the countries participating in the project. The fact that implementation of the once-only principle is becoming a priority in the EU, as evidenced by the fact that this principle is included in the Proposal for a Regulation on establishing a Single Digital Gateway should be assessed positively. Combining the efforts undertaken at the European Commission level within the framework of proposed legislative initiatives and in the Member States under the projects such as the TOOP project should bring visible benefits for citizens and entrepreneurs in the near future. The scale of these benefits can be very huge, as is shown by estimates indicating that the implementation of the once-only principle in Europe could generate annual savings of €5 billion.

Published: February 2022

The pace of economic growth, despite the crisis bogey still appearing somewhere near, is taking on speed on an unprecedented scale in the history of the mankind. The number of inventions currently being the subject of patent prcedures or the quantity and quality of implementations of various types of solutions that improve and facilitate our lives - both professional and private - leads to a situation that we treat these changes more often as a normal thing, which does not arouse our admiration. During the preparation for this publication, the main focus was put on finding the answer to the question whether we are able to observe these changes, define them and assess them. The correct identification and definition of the area of changes is only half of the success. The second important, if not more important, problem is the issue of proper naming and examining the threats that affect these changes.
Logistics in Shaping the Comptetitve Edge of Enterprises
Authors: Mindur Maciej , Jezierski Andrzej
Published: February 2022

Logistics as a factor in shaping the competitiveness of enterprises has already been discussed in numerous publications. Still, however, being a problem with very broad substantive and methodological horizons, according to the authors, it allows for the analysis and formulation of theses that have not yet been scientifically explained. The theoretical foundations of logistics in its dimension of the competitiveness factor can be traced at various levels of delimitation of economic sciences: micro, meso or global. The starting point for such focused considerations is the current of classical competition theory. The theory of imperfect competition should be the basis for consideration in this direction. The methodological assumptions of the new industrial economy (industry economics) are extremely interesting and inspiring in the field of logistics research as a competitive factor. The purpose of this article is to present selected trends in economic research in the development of logistics theory and to systematize the theory underlying the considerations regarding the competitiveness of logistics.

Controlled CVD growth of highly <111>-oriented 3C-SiC
Authors: Huang Jing-Jia , Militzer Christian , Wijayawardhana Charles , Forsberg Urban , Ojamäe Lars , Pedersen Henrik
Published: February 2022

Highly <111>-oriented 3C-SiC coatings with distinct surface morphology consisting of hexagonally shaped pyramidal crystals were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) and toluene (C7H8) at T ≤ 1250 ℃ and p = 10 kPa. In contrast, similar deposition conditions, using methane (CH4) as carbon precursor, resulted in randomly oriented 3C-SiC coatings with a cauliflower-like surface of SiC crystallites. No excess carbon was detected in the highly <111>-oriented 3C-SiC samples despite the use of aromatic hydrocarbons. The difference in the preferred growth orientation of the 3C-SiC coatings deposited using C7H8 and CH4 as carbon precursors is explained via quantum chemical calculations of binding energies on various crystal planes. The adsorption energy of C6H6 on the SiC (111) plane was 6 times higher than that on the (110) surface. On the other hand, the CH3 exhibited equally strong adsorption on both planes. This suggests that the highly <111>-oriented 3C-SiC growth in the C7H8 process, where both C6H6 and CH3 are considered the main active carbon-containing film forming species, is due to the highly preferred adsorption on (111) planes, while the lower surface energy of the (110) plane controls the growth orientation in the CH4 process, in which only CH3 contributes to the film deposition.
Programmed Polyene Cyclization Enabled by Chromophore Disruption
Authors: Frederich James , Solans Megan , Basistyi Vitalii , Law James
Published: February 2022

A versatile polyene cyclization strategy was developed that exploits conjugated -ionyl derivatives. Photomediated disruption of the extended -system within these chromophores unveils a contra-thermodynamic polyene that engages in a Heck-type cyclization to afford [4.4.1]-propellanes. The connectivity of overbred polycycles generated from this process is controlled by the position of the requisite C–Br bond. Thus, compared to conventional biomimetic polyene cyclization, this approach allows for complete control of regiochemistry and facilitates incorporation of both electron-rich and electron-deficient (hetero)aryl groups. This strategy was successfully applied to the total synthesis of taxodione and salviasperanol, two isomeric abietane-type diterpenes that previously could not be prepared along the same synthetic pathway.
Informed Chemical Classification of Organophosphorus Compounds via Unsupervised Machine Learning of X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and X-ray Emission Spectroscopy
Authors: Tetef Samantha , Kashyap Vikram , Velian Alexandra , Govind Niranjan , Seidler Gerald
Published: February 2022

We analyze an ensemble of organophosphorus compounds to form an unbiased characterization of the information encoded in their X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and valence-to-core X-ray emission spectra (VtC-XES). Data-driven emergence of chemical classes via unsupervised machine learning, specifically cluster analysis in the Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) embedding, finds spectral sensitivity to coordination, oxidation, aromaticity, intramolecular hydrogen bonding, and ligand identity. Subsequently, we implement supervised machine learning via Gaussian Process classifiers to identify confidence in predictions which match our initial qualitative assessments of clustering. The results further support the benefit of utilizing unsupervised machine learning as a precursor to supervised machine learning.

AS MULHERES NA POLÍCIA: DAS RELAÇÕES DE PODER NAS TRANSFORMAÇÕES DA HISTÓRIA
Authors: Goulart Carolina , Petry faria Josiane
Published: February 2022

O artigo objetiva discutir o trabalho policial feminino, apresentando uma breve historiografia de inserção das mulheres na polícia, a partir da perspectiva das relações de poder e da igualdade de gênero. Questiona o poder dominante nas forças policiais e as potencialidades transformadoras da presença da mulher na estrutura da instituição e sua repercussão social. Buscou demonstrar, em um primeiro momento, a construção de uma cultura organizacional heteropatriarcal, a qual narrou a coincidência da história da polícia com a história de homens no poder. Primeiramente, observou-se a exclusão e posteriormente a invisibilidade, depois a discriminação, contudo a maior representatividade feminina trouxe uma desestabilização das relações de poder. A mulher foi deixando o trabalho assistencialista e assumindo o trabalho ostensivo. Assim, por meio do método dedutivo e das técnicas bibliográfica e documental, se pode concluir que muitas dificuldades e obstáculos foram, e ainda são, enfrentados por estas mulheres policiais dentro e fora das instituições as quais pertencem. Todavia, a maior representatividade, associada ao inevitável reconhecimento das mulheres trouxe um desequilíbrio nas forças patriarcalistas institucionalizadas, o qual caminha para a redistribuição de poder com vistas a igualdade de gênero.

Fazendo um aporte mais especifico e centrado no processo de recepção a partir da perspectiva do século XIX no Brasil, pretende-se dissertar acerca da fundação das Faculdades de Direito e sobre o debate do Direito Natural de vertente tomista, amplamente discutida neste período, e do denominado Ecletismo Espiritualista que fornecia o contexto no qual se concebia uma aproximação entre as orientações tomistas e a necessidade de adequação com as modificações impostas pela modernização do pensamento.
NACIONALIDADE E CIDADANIA: NECESSARIAMENTE VINCULADAS?
Authors: Aguiar da Cunha Samuel
Published: February 2022

Por ser assunto relevante, o artigo discute, abordando por método hipotético-dedutivo e a partir de procedimento histórico-comparativo por meio de documentação indireta (literatura especializada), se a nacionalidade é causa necessária para o exercício da cidadania. Após verificação no transcurso do tempo e da conceituação de ambos os institutos no momento presente, pode-se constatar que a nacionalidade e a cidadania, ainda que muito próximas em sua origem, dizem respeito a implicações bastante distintas – a saber, aquela, como vínculo do Estado para com o indivíduo, e essa, como potencialidade do indivíduo frente à coletividade (especialmente o Estado).
Climate Adaptation Law Reform: a lot of argument still to come
Authors: Iorns Catherine
Published: February 2022

New Zealand’s existing law and policy is not adequate to provide for appropriate adaptation to the effects of climate change. The government has adopted recommendations to replace the current Resource Management Act with a new suite of resource management laws, including for climate adaptation. The recommendations include bold measures to ensure that people and property are not subject to climate hazards in the future, and for funding mechanisms to enable the required changes. Much policy is still to be developed but the potential exists for better adaptation planning and decisions, with more certainty and lower litigation risks. This article summarises the proposed reforms and comments on how well they provide what is needed for better climate adaptation laws.

Authors: Molijn Zara
Published: February 2022

Active school travel (walking, biking, scootering or skating to and from school) is declining in Wellington. This is concerning becauseactive forms of transport benefit children’s mental and physical health, as well as producing wider societal benefits such as lessnoise, reduced air pollution, lower congestion and fewer greenhouse gas emissions. This article explores the barriers to active schooltravel among primary school-aged children in Wellington, based on an anonymous online survey of parents. The results indicatethat the main barriers to active school travel are related to safety concerns, family schedule complexities, and the efficiency of othermodes of transport. Possible solutions include a walking school bus programme and more flexible working hours for parents, specifically during school drop-off and pick-up times.

Authors: Huang Mingru
Published: February 2022

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the 3+1 holistic rehabilitation nursing in terms of self-care ability, cognition, language, and emotional regulation of AD patients. This study also summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of current studies to guide future studies. Methods: Literatures on 3+1 holistic rehabilitation nursing as an intervention for patients with Alzheimer’s disease were searched from three Chinese databases in January 2021: CNKI, VIP, and Wang Fang Database. Two reviewers independently screened the identified studies by title and abstract. Thereafter, the full text of all 28 studies were reviewed. Finally, 24 studies were included after excluding duplicates, non-3+1 holistic rehabilitation mursing studies, non-experimental studies, studies with inconsistent sample size, wrong data analysis, and unclear outcomes, etc. Results: Upon reviewing the 24 literatures, all the included studies were clinical studies that made comparisons between 3+1 holistic rehabilitation mursing groups and traditional nursing groups. The age of the participants were between 60 and 80 years, and the total number of participates were 2,790. However, there were some studies that did not report the average age (5/24), average duration (14/24), and the ratio of male to female patients (3/24). Only a few studies reported the intervention time (7/24) and classified the disease by severity (4/24). The outcomes included activities of daily living (ADL), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Chinese Rehabilitation Research Center Aphasia Examination (CRRCAE). A total of 19 studies showed that 3+1 holistic rehabilitation nursing is effective in improving patients’ self-care ability; 14 studies showed that this rehabilitation nursing has a significant curative effect for the cognitive function of patients; 7 studies showed that this nursing model can promote the recovery of language function in AD patients; 5 studies showed the model can significantly reduce the incidence of adverse events and complications upon receiving treatment; 2 studies showed that the nursing model is helpful for depression and emotional indifference. Conclusion: Compared with the traditional nursing mode, 3+1 holistic rehabilitation nursing is more effective in improving self-care ability, cognitive function, language function, emotional state, and so on. In addition, this nursing model can significantly reduce the incidence of adverse events, falls, pressure sores, and other complications during hospitalization. However, the inclusion criteria and duration of intervention for the included studies need to be further standardized, and more experimental studies on the efficacy of 3+1 holistic rehabilitation nursing on severe AD patients as well as the complications caused by AD are required. The cost of 3+1 holistic rehabilitation nursing, which is specialized and personalized, is high. Therefore, the value of this nursing model still requires much research.

Authors: Cai Jieping , Wang Aijia
Published: February 2022

China’s small and micro enterprises have always had the typical characteristics of “five, six, seven, eight, nine,” which are important supports to expand employment and improve people’s livelihood. However, the current proportion of these enterprises in obtaining bank loans does not commensurate with the proportion of small, medium, and micro enterprises in the total economic aggregate. The financing dilemma of small and micro enterprises still exists. In consideration of the financing status of small and micro enterprises, this study analyzes the constraints of small and micro enterprises in financing, such as the difficulty in mortgage, difficulty in obtaining loans, and difficulty in guaranteeing. This study sorts out Taizhou’s practical experience and links its operation mechanism of “two platforms, one fund, and one index.” Finally, by learning from its successful experience, how to utilize the environment and the trend of big data will be further discussed, so as to form a scalable and sustainable financing method and path. This will provide a reference for improving the financing environment of small and micro enterprises.
