The Orthodox Romanian Churches of Guşteriţa
Authors: Boicu Dragoş
Published: December 2023

The “Annunciation” Orthodox Church in Guşteriţa is the only church founded by Metropolitan Andrei Şaguna in the surroundings of Sibiu. But it was not the first Orthodox church built in this little community. Despite the unfortunate historical context, the beginnings of the Orthodox parish in Guşteriţa were not as modest as one would think. This paper reconstructs the historical context and follows the traces of the first Orthodox church in Guşteriţa, pointing out that at the end of the eighteenth century, the Romanian community had managed to build a worship place made of stone. While the structure has long since been demolished and knowledge of its exact location has been lost, the site of this important structure can now be approximated based on available topographical evidence.
“They Must be Brought to the Right Path”: Monastic Incarceration of Old Calendarist Believers in Interwar Romania*
Authors: Cindrea-Nagy Iuliana
Published: December 2023

This study concerns the issue of monastic incarceration of members of the Old Calendarist Orthodox Church in interwar Romania. The practice of incarcerating individuals in Orthodox monasteries was common across Orthodox Eastern Europe, especially in Imperial Russia. Even though this constitutes a neglected aspect of Romanian history, monastic incarceration seems to have been a practice that affected the Old Calendarist communities during the interwar period. When the Old Calendarists were seen as a threat to the Romanian state and the Orthodox Church, the Holy Synod decided, in October 1936, that the fate of the Old Calendarist nuns and monks was to be arrested and sent to detention at isolated sketes. There they were put to work and forced to accept the new style calendar. The archives of the secret police, as well as the National Archives of Romania, preserve various documents in the form of letters, postcards, declarations, and Gendarmerie reports which prove that monastic incarceration of Old Calendarist believers was a phenomenon that extended during a longer period of time and involved at least four Orthodox Monasteries in the country.

Published: December 2023

The use of learning media is very important for students for the learning process as an intermediary to convey messages or information.  Game education can affect the cognitive function and motivation of students and stimulate the curiosity of learners, especially when entering tantagan and fantasy elements into an educational game. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of learning media in the form of educational game applications on respiratory system material and student responses in its use. In this study, the media developed was in the form of a construct 2-based game education. This type of research is RD using a model developed by Robert Maribe Branch, namely the ADDIE model.  The results of the research obtained learning media in the form of decent and interesting based game education to be used as learning media.  With the average percentage of validation assessments obtained from 85.18% from media experts, 94.79% from material experts and 93.75% from linguist assessments with the category of very decent. The use of game education learning media by students received a response of 81.25% which showed that the media was very interesting and worth using, these results were obtained through filling out questionnaires conducted using two classes
Relevant content of the basic value Liebe / love in the German linguoculture
Authors: Khlopova A. I.
Published: December 2023

The object of the research is the associative field of Liebe / love, representing the same basic value, the subject is the psychologically relevant content of the value, as well as the content dynamics of the basic value, reflected in the nature of the associates. The aim of the study is to establish the psychologically relevant content of the basic value of Liebe / love in the German linguoculture. A free associative experiment is used as the main research method. The experiment was conducted with representatives of the German linguoculture at the age from 17 to 23 in Vechta, Potsdam, Baden-Baden and Freiburg in 2022. The stimulus word Liebe was followed by 200 reactions, which we are going to share in accordance with the research methodology for reaction-concepts, reactions-representations, emotional-evaluative reactions, formal and cultural reactions. The research is based on sequential comparison of data from lexicographic sources (including etymological sources) and data from a free associative experiment. The author verifies the obtained results using an inverse associative experiment. Research data can be used in sociological research, in teaching translation studies, intercultural communication, cultural linguistics, ethnopsycholinguistics, in a practical course of the first foreign language (German), in a workshop on the culture of verbal communication, etc. The obtained data can be used in the development of various types of educational manuals and educational reference books. The results of the study have shown that the concept Liebe / love is relevant and significant for representatives of the German linguoculture. Moreover, it is realized in a variety of reactions-representations reflecting the individual experience of respondents. The relevance of this concept is verified by the data of the inverse associative experiment. However, the meaning of the concept Liebe / love, which represents the basic value, changes: the correlation between love and the object of love becomes relevant. Liebe / love unites other value characteristics for the respondents: trust, loyalty, harmony, attention, tenderness towards another person on the basis of common value integrative characteristics. It also has a positive connotation for the respondents.

Implicit temporality from the perspective of relevance theory
Authors: Larina O. V.
Published: December 2023

The article presents an attempt to apply the basic principles of Dan Sperber and Deidre Wilson’s Relevance theory to the study of implicit means of time reference. The theory combines both cognitive and pragmatic features, which makes it suitable for online analysis of the natural communicative process including the possible mistakes in the cognitive mechanism of inference. The article contains an overview of the main aspects of Relevance theory exemplified by contexts with implicit temporality. The preliminary classification of implicit means of temporal location of an action, which includes lexical, grammatical and contextual implicit means, is also provided. The article also provides analysis of the addressee’s perception of implicit time information in accordance with its relevance. The article also dwells on the problem of how a person decides that an utterance is of informative and cognitive value (that is relevant) and hence must be processed. Besides, the author looks into the factors that affect the relevance of an utterance (for instance its broad communicative context, by which we understand both communicants’ background knowledge about the language, the situation of communication and the world) and cites situations in which informative relevance decreases resulting in mistakes in information processing and the addressor’s informative and communicative failures. The author also attempts to demonstrate the prospects of further integration of the conceptual framework of Relevance theory and other cognitive and pragmatic linguistic theories, the theory of presuppositions and mental spaces in particular. Besides, the author looks into the terminological inexactitude of such notions as ‘implicature’ (implication) and ‘explicature’ and also suggests considering the application of weak implicatures to the analysis of inferential mistakes.
Tracing the Contours of the History of Higher Education for Women in Ireland: Competing Discourses and Dominant Themes
Authors: Harford Judith
Published: December 2023

Women in Ireland, like women across Western societies more broadly, were excluded from attending university until the late nineteenth century, their eventual entry frequently accompanied by sophisticated control frameworks constructed in order to minimise their impact and safeguard the male, middle-class hegemony. This paper traces the dominant themes and competing discourses which shaped the debate surrounding the opening of university education to women in Ireland, mapping the evolution of this process according to three discreet yet inter-related phases: Accommodation vs. Transformation; Special Treatment vs. Equal Treatment; and Access without Equality.
The value of education and educational values of Ukrainian high school students: factor determination
Authors: Bieliaieva Viktoriia
Published: December 2023

The data analysis given in this article made it possible to find out that for high school students in Kharkiv, Odesa, and Cherkasy, the value of education is not terminal but rather instrumental, expressed in various instrumental values. First and foremost, it is the value of high intelligence and abilities. This value is shared the most by respondents from all three Ukrainian cities under study, who see it mainly as a means to achieve material well-being in the future, an opportunity to make a career both in Ukraine and abroad.The hypotheses about correlations between the values of education and high intelligence, abilities with gender, parental education level, the feeling of going to school, and the overall schooling assessment were not confirmed for Kharkiv and Odesa high school students, leading to factor analysis.It was concluded that high school students in the three cities have much in common in their value consciousness; the most crucial terminal values are the same. However, in choosing this value, high school students in Kharkiv and Odesa are guided by their other values (terminal ones), while Cherkasy students are guided by the conditions and circumstances of the external environment, namely the level of education of their parents and their experience at school. In addition, for Cherkasy high school students, their parents’ desire for them to enter a higher education institution is significantly more important than for Kharkiv and Odesa students.
Problematic transition from residence permit for the purpose of studies to having an employment: Non-EU foreign students from post-Soviet countries and Czech immigration policy
Authors: Jirka Luděk
Published: December 2023

The Czech Republic introduced a migration policy in 1999, and one of the newly emerged residence permits was for the purpose of studies. It allowed non-EU foreign nationals to study in the Czech Republic. However, its rationale was also associated with restricting the permanent settlement of non-EU international students in the country. The policy changed in 2006. However, even up to 2019, it remained challenging for international students to secure permanent residency. In particular, students from post-Soviet countries wanted to settle permanently and had to find a job before graduation to secure their stay. In 2019, the Czech Republic introduced a transitional period for non-EU foreign graduates, enabling them to stay in the country for nine months to find a job. However, despite the advantages, this was late compared to other European countries. This article discusses the situation of non-EU international students before 2019 and the difficulties they experienced due to the complicated transition process from residence permit for the purpose of studies to employee status.

THE BANKING SYSTEM – “LIMPING” TOWARD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE. IS GREEN FINANCE A “THING” IN ROMANIA AS OF MARCH 2023?
Authors: NICA Andreea
Published: December 2023

Green finance became a trending topic in the European Union after the 2015 adoption of the Paris Agreement, which acknowledged in Article 2 the relation between the “financial flows” and investment projects promoting “low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development”. Banks are uniquely positioned to direct financial flows toward these projects as they are the leading financial intermediaries in the European Union . In this context, to understand where banks in Romania stand as of March 2023 in innovating financial products that are included in the green finance sector of the financial markets (and, in a few cases, in the social or sustainable finance sectors), I systematically reviewed public information on each bank’s website, sustainability reports (where available), press releases and a financial products consolidation website (www.conso.ro). I found that banks in Romania are “limping” toward a sustainable future because (1) only half of the commercial banks manufactured and distributed at least one green financial product, (2) many banks ticked the green financial products checkbox with the low-hanging fruit of providing loans for newly built houses which, due to EU-level regulation, should be energy efficient just because they are new and (3) only two banks engaged in issuing green/sustainable bonds. Based on the findings from this article, the answer to the question in the title is “Yes, but…”. In the last 6 years, banks in Romania have slowly adopted green, social, and sustainability-labeled financial products and started “greening” their balance sheets. These special-purpose products accelerate the directing of financial flows toward companies and projects aligned with the Paris Agreement objectives. However, the stock of green financial products is below potential and further research is needed to understand how much greenhouse gas emissions are avoided by banks’ efforts and how the banking sector mitigates greenwashing and conflicts of interest risks.

INTERELASI PERNIKAHAN SIRRI, ITSBAT NIKAH DAN PENCATATAN NIKAH MENUJU LEGALITAS DAN KEPASTIAN HUKUM
Authors: Nur Mohamad Kasim
Published: December 2023

Negara Indonesia merupakan Negara yang memiliki angka pernikahan sirri yang cukup tinggi. Pasangan yang tidak mencatatkan perkawinan ke lembaga Negara sering berasumsi bahwa pernikahan cukuplah hanya sebatas akad nikah saja, pencatatan perkawinan dianggap merupakan bagian yang tidak begitu penting dalam hal perkawinan karena dalam pengurusannya dianggap ribet oleh segelintir pasangan pelaku praktik nikah sirri. Mereka tidak memikirkan dampak kedepan apabila pernikahan tersebut tidak dicatatkan.

Negara Indonesia sendiri bukanlah Negara yang mempersulit Warga Negaranya, setiap permasalahan yang dialami oleh warga Negara pasti Negara menyediakan sebuah solusi didalamnya. Begitupun juga dalam permasalahan pernikahan sirri ini. Pasangan yang sudah terlanjur melakukan pernikahan sirri bisa mencatatkan perkawinan ke lembaga Negara apabila sudah melalui sebuah proses yang disebut dengan itsbat nikah. itsbat nikah itu sendiri bisa diajukan oleh pasangan suami ∕ isteri, anak, atau orang tua ∕ wali. Itsbat nikah merupakan proses permohonan pengesahan nikah yang diajukan ke Pegadilan baik itu Pengadilan Agama maupun Pengadilan Negeri. Putusan atau penetapan itsbat nikah ini merupakan jalan menuju pernikahan yang dinyatakan sah dan memiliki kekuatan hukum.

Proses legalitas pernikahan tidak hanya sampai pada penetapan sidang itsbat oleh pihak Pengadilan saja, tetapi harus dilanjutkan ke tahap pencatatan nikah guna sebagai bukti legalitas dan memberikan kepastian hukum kepada pasangan suami∕istri lewat buku nikah yang akan dikeluarkan oleh KUA untuk pasangan muslim dan Akta Nikah yang dikeluarkan oleh Disdukcapil untuk pasangan non muslim.

Landasan kepailitan dan penundaan kewajiban pembayaran utang (PKPU) adalah utang, yang sudah jatuh tempo, bisa ditagih serta wajib dibayar. Tinjauan yuridis PT. Hanson International, Tbk. dalam perkara permohonan PKPU nomor 29/Pdt.Sus-PKPU/2020/PN.Niaga.Jkt.Pst. yang diputus pailit, setelah proposal perdamaian ditolak para kreditor. Namun debitor pailit mengajukan kembali proposal perdamaian. Setelah diadakan kembali voting dengan tata cara permohonan pernyataan pailit, pengadilan niaga memutus damai (homologasi) atas perkara tersebut. Sehingga dalam 1 (satu) perkara yang sama yaitu nomor 29/Pdt.Sus-PKPU/2020/PN.Niaga.Jkt.Pst. terdapat 2 (dua) putusan akhir yang berbeda, yaitu putusan tertanggal 12 Agustus 2020 dan putusan tertanggal 18 Februari 2021. Upaya perdamaian kembali pada proses kepailitan yang berasal daripada permohonan PKPU (Bab III UU Kepailitan dan PKPU), namun menggunakan ketentuan permohonan pernyataan pailit (Bab II UU Kepailitan dan PKPU). Penelitian tersebut merupakan penelitian hukum normatif yang menarik asas-asas dalam putusan pengadilan. Analisis data dilakukan secara kualitatif yang menghasilkan data deskriptif berupa kata-kata tertulis dari pertimbangan hakim yang dikaji. Hakim ketika merumuskan serta memutuskan perkara wajib menggunakan penalaran hukum yang sistematik serta lengkap peristiwa dan fakta hukum, perumusan fakta hukum, penerapan kaidah hukum baik terhadap hukum positif, hukum kebiasaan, yurisprudensi, teori hukum, dan lain-lain, berlandaskan metode penalaran hukum yang selaras saat penyusunan pertimbangan hukum terhadap putusan hakim tersebut. Argumentasi hakim dalam perkara tersebut menggunakan sistem pembuktian berlandaskan undang-undang dengan positif (positief wettelijk bewijstheorie) serta berpotensi mengakibatkan sesat pikir atau logical fallacy yang berdampak yuridis terjadinya ketidakpastian hukum.

Marriage registration is an official process that involves registering and documenting a couple's marriage at authorized institutions, such as the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) and the Population and Civil Registry Service. This process legally and administratively records marriage events, producing an official document stating the couple's marital status. This research uses normative research with a focus on studying legal norms relating to marriage registration. The analysis used is a qualitative descriptive approach using legislation (statute approach) to analyze the issues that arise in connection with the Statement of Absolute Responsibility and its impact on marriage registration and the legality of marriages after the SPTJM policy. The research results show that the Statement of Absolute Responsibility policy has a positive impact, such as providing facilities for producing children's birth certificates and other documents. However, this policy can also present complexities related to the status of "Unregistered Marriage," which raises legal issues, protecting the rights of wives and children, as well as law enforcement against the practice of polygamy and polyandry. Even though the information of couples who are mar ried in an unregistered marriage is recorded in the Family Card document of the Population and Civil Registry Office, recognition is still required before the law so that this couple has adequate legal standing in court to ensure the validity of their marriage.

ELEMEN-ELEMEN DASAR KEJAHATAN TERHADAP KEMANUSIAAN
Authors: Ayu Nrangwesti  , Yulia Fitriliani  , Maya Indrasti Notoprayitno
Published: December 2023

This research was created to analyze the basic elements of crimes against humanity as stated in the 1998 Rome Statute. The study carried out was comprehensive (looking through the context of Indonesian criminal law, human rights law and international law), and comparative (comparing the elements of the crime of genocide). The background to the emergence of the research problem is the uncertainty of the nomenclature of crimes against humanity which includes the word humanity in it. This is because the concept of humanity can give rise to broad interpretations. This research is also motivated by the desire to compare crimes against humanity with the crime of genocide, especially those related to similar or overlapping elements. The problem in this research consists of 2 (two) main problems, namely: First, a comprehensive analytical elaboration of 3 (three) basic elements crimes against humanity; The second analytical elaboration is comparative to the crime of genocide. The aim of this research is ultimately to provide recommendations to the Indonesian government regarding input for reconceiving crimes against humanity in statutory regulations. The benefits of research are both academic (one of the duties of lecturers is conducting research and for teaching materials for international criminal law and human rights law) and practical (for practitioners, such as judges, prosecutors, lawyers, non-governmental organization activists and social/human rights observers man). This research is a type of doctrinal research with a comparative approach. The research data sources used are primary legal materials (primary sources). Apart from primary legal materials, secondary legal materials (secondary sources) are also the main sources in this research. A comparative approach is carried out by comparing the elements contained in crimes against humanity with the crime of genocide. The conclusion of this research is the discovery of 3 (three) main elements of crimes against humanity, namely: Widespread and systematic attacks; Directed attack on civilian people; Imputable to state/organization's policy. The most difficult element to prove is the third element, namely finding a connection between the actions of a person or group of people and their country's policies. The crime of genocide includes concrete and reliable elements that characterize the crime, while crimes against humanity still seem to overlap with the crime of genocide, even with other international crimes.

Published: December 2023

The current research works have put great concern on the positive impacts of the implementation of formative assessment in EFL learning and teaching. Simultaneously, the swift technological development also takes effect on supporting the practices of formative assessment. This study aims to explore EFL learners’ voices on implementing technology-enhanced formative assessment in EFL classrooms. It is a case study intended to obtain detailed information from the participants for a particular case. Five EFL learners from different universities were involved in this study by using a telephone interview. The findings of this study reveal that EFL learners have positive views on the use of formative assessment in terms of getting a better understanding and promoting learning independence. Besides, most EFL learners also perceived that the integration of technology-enhanced positively affects them in working with formative assessments assigned by the lecturers. The last, the challenges of technology-enhanced formative assessment by EFL learners comprised the overload of work assignments, the difficulty of time management, the incapability of staring at laptops for a long time, the instability of LMS, and the unclear instructions as well as insufficient feedback by the lecturers. Several implications are provided in this study.Keywords: challenges; EFL learners; formativ
Direct Numerical Simulation of High-Enthalpy Turbulent Boundary-Layer Flow with Light Gas Injections
Authors: Zhao Rui , Zuo Zhengxuan , Wang Xiaoyong , Yuan Wu , Wen Chihyung
Published: December 2023

Two light gases (He and [Formula: see text]) are, respectively, introduced upstream of a high-enthalpy turbulent flat-plate flow with a boundary-layer edge Mach number of [Formula: see text] and temperature of [Formula: see text]. The flow condition refers to the after-shock wave flow on a blunt-body hypersonic vehicle (Duan and Martín, AIAA Journal, Vol. 49, No. 1, 2011, pp. 172–184). Direct numerical simulation results show that the injection of these light gases has little effect on the mean velocity profiles but significantly reduces the near-wall density and skin friction. The separation and fragmentation of near-wall vortical structures are restrained, and the Reynolds shear stress decreases. The injection of inert He inhibits the dissociation reaction of [Formula: see text] and weakens the chemical nonequilibrium effect, resulting in enhanced mean and fluctuating temperatures. The injection of active [Formula: see text] promotes the reaction between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which increases the mean temperature but inhibits its fluctuation. After decomposing the mean skin friction into physics-informed contributions, both injections largely reduce the turbulent kinetic energy production term [Formula: see text] and the spatial growth term of the flow, [Formula: see text], through lowering the near-wall density and reducing vortices.
Vladimir Lenin, Jared Diamond and Martin Heidegger: On one aspect of understanding of early modern history
Authors: Sokolovskii I. R.
Published: December 2023

The article discusses in a broader historical context the well-known thesis of V. I. Lenin that capitalism was formed as a result of a change in the behavior of large merchants, who, after the state achieves political unity and forms a unified market, switch from trade to the organization of production. Researchers of the 17th century Siberia do not find historical confirmation of Lenin’s scheme, however, it is quite applicable to other countries of the early modern period and to the mechanism of the early stage of the colonial expansion of European powers (I. R. Sokolovsky, 2019). At the same time, J. Diamond’ research pointed out the boundary between “normal” human behavior in the new lands and the behavior of the colonizers of the early modern period. This boundary is a rational or quasi-rational accounting of one’s actions. M. Heidegger calls this approach Gestell. Gestell considers the surrounding world as a calculated resource for self-increasing profit. Using the example of a Swiss wine merchant who died in North America in 1736, the Italian micro-historian K. Ginzburg showed how the merchants and “capitalists” actually acted and what the Gestell that determined their actions looked like in everyday life: predatory appropriation of material and labor resources is gradually getting a solid base of rational calculation.
Local self-government in the Russian Federation: the trajectory of conceptual development
Authors: Zazulina M. R.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the changes in the conceptual understanding of the institution of local self-government that has been taking place in the last three decades. The submission to the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the Draft  Federal Law «On the general principles of the organization of local self-government in the unified system of public authority», which took place at the end of 2021, allows analyzing the trajectory of the development of the institute of local self-government in post-Soviet Russia from the point of view of a more global time and conceptual perspective. The purpose of this work is to identify the trajectory of the development of the conception of local self-government in RF. Research attention is focused on identifying the conception of local self-government formulated in official documents, a gradual change in the conceptual interpretation of this institution. It is shown that the main shiftin the conceptual understanding of local self-government occurs along the axis of institutional independence / institutional dependence of local self-government on state authorities. The development of the conceptual understanding of local self-government in post-Soviet Russia proceeds along the trajectory from a public concept (local self-government as an independent activity) to a state one (local self-government as a form of exercising power) and to a hyperstate one (local self-government as a link in a unified system of exercising authority).

Published: December 2023

Cricket is a popular sport played worldwide, immensely popular in India, with a high prevalence of wrist and hand injuries varying from 11% to 13%. Among batsmen, the injury rates are higher in the non-dominant leading wrist. These injuries affect the ligaments, bones, triangular fibrocartilage complex, tendons, and neurovascular structures predominantly on the palmar and ulnar aspect of the wrist and occur due to the force vectors transmitted to the wrist during the bat swing. Specific injuries can be explained by the biomechanics of this double grip sport, and its force vector knowledge of these injuries can enable the sports physician to diagnose early and effectively treat the athlete, improving their performance and outcome. The main intent of this article is to review the biomechanics and clinical presentation of the most common injuries in the non-dominant or leading wrist of cricketers.
Unusual sites of giant cell tumor of bone
Authors: Nagarajan Suriyaprakash , Kathirvelu Gopinathan , Jaganathan Devimeenal
Published: December 2023

Giant cell tumor (GCT), a benign but regionally aggressive and destructive tumor, is most frequently found at the epiphysis of long bones. The distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal radius are the three most typical locations. The pelvis, proximal femur, proximal humerus, distal tibia, and sacrum are uncommon locations. About 18– 23% of benign bone neoplasms are GCT. They often manifest in early adulthood because they happen after the growth plate has closed, with the majority of instances being documented between the ages of 20 and 50. GCT is a primarily benign bone tumor that exhibits local recurrence, has metastasis potential, and may show malignant change. Depending on the site, complications such as hemorrhage or pathological fracture, GCTs can have varied appearances. Rarely, ribs, vertebral bodies, and bones of the hand and foot may be affected. Other than the long bones, the radiographic characteristics of GCT are non-specific and resemble those of other osteolytic diseases. This review shows GCT imaging features from both typical and unusual locales.

Spondylocostal dysostosis (SCD), also known as Jarcho Levin syndrome, is a rare congenital dysostosis characterized by multiple congenital vertebral and rib anomalies. The child usually presents with respiratory distress at birth with eventual development of short trunk dwarfism. Associated congenital anomalies are rare; however, they need evaluation. We report a 6-month-old Indian girl with SCD who presented with respiratory distress and an asymmetrical small thoracic cavity. The diagnosis was made with radiographs, computed tomography scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing multiple rib and vertebral segmentation anomalies. We would also highlight the importance of MRI in these patients and illustrate other associated brain and spine anomalies.
ESG Ratings and Rankings: Their Significance for Companies and the Regions of Their Presence

Published: December 2023

The vast natural resources of the Russian Federation make the development of extractive industries inevitable. The scale of production is growing, and the load on ecosystems is increasing. It is important to take into account that non-renewable resources are extracted, which leads to a violation of the ecological balance. Therefore, the focus of many researchers is the concept of “sustainable development”, aimed at achieving a balance between the economy, nature and people. As this movement gains momentum, investors are increasingly demanding financial instruments that contribute to the formation of a more sustainable economy, as well as reducing potential risks associated with climate change and social problems. Capital providers implement the principles of sustainable financing by evaluating investments according to ESG criteria before making a decision on investment or financing. The development of the concept of sustainable development has led to the creation of so-called ESG ratings and ESG rankings. This article discusses their importance for companies and regions of their presence. The concept of sustainable development of the Arctic territories is introduced into the topic, as well as the methods and materials used in the research are described. The main part of the article is devoted to the problems of ESG ratings, their relationship with green financing, as well as information support for these ratings. An overview of existing ESG ratings of companies and regions is given, as well as some problems that arise when using ESG ratings and rankings. These issues are becoming more and more relevant in connection with the industrial development of the Arctic territories. The author concludes that industrial activity in the Arctic should be carried out only by socially responsible companies with a high ESG rating. However, when rating according to ESG criteria, quite a lot of questions arise, such as: selection of indicators, information support of ratings, rating scale and other issues. Therefore, currently an important scientific aspect is the creation of methodological generally accepted approaches to ESG ratings and rankings.

Natural products are a diverse class of compounds with promising biological properties, such as high potency and excellent selectivity. However, they have different structural motifs than typical drug-like compounds, e.g., a wider range of molecular weight, multiple stereocenters and higher fraction of sp3-hybridized carbons. This makes the encoding of natural products via molecular fingerprints difficult, thus restricting their use in cheminformatics studies. To tackle this issue, we explored over 30 years of research to systematically evaluate which molecular fingerprint provides the best performance on the natural product chemical space. We considered 20 molecular fingerprints from four different sources, which we then benchmarked on over 100,000 unique natural products from the COCONUT (COlleCtion of Open Natural prodUcTs) and CMNPD (Comprehensive Marine Natural Products Database) databases. Our analysis focused on the correlation between different fingerprints and their classification performance on 13 bioactivity prediction datasets. Our results show that different encodings can provide fundamentally different views of the natural product chemical space, leading to substantial differences in pairwise similarity and performance. While Extended Connectivity Fingerprints are the de-facto option to encoding drug-like compounds, other fingerprints resulted to match or outperform them for bioactivity prediction of natural products. These results highlight the need to evaluate multiple fingerprinting algorithms for optimal performance and suggest new areas of research. Finally, we provide an open-source Python package for computing all molecular fingerprints considered in the study, as well as data and scripts necessary to reproduce the results, at https://github.com/dahvida/NP_Fingerprints.

Polarizable force fields are an essential component for the chemically accurate modeling of complex molecular systems with a significant degree of fluxionality, beyond harmonic or perturbative approximations. In this contribution we examine the performance of such an approach for the vibrational spectroscopy of the alanine amino acid, in the gas and condensed phases, from the Fourier transform of appropriate time correlation functions generated along molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories. While the infrared (IR) spectrum only requires the electric dipole moment, the vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectrum further requires knowledge of the magnetic dipole moment, for which we provide relevant expressions to be used under polarizable force fields. The AMOEBA force field was employed here to model alanine in the neutral and zwitterionic isolated forms, solvated by water or nitrogen, and as a crystal. Within this framework, comparison of the electric and magnetic dipole moments to those obtained with nuclear velocity perturbation theory based on density-functional theory for the same MD trajectories are found to agree well with one another. The statistical convergence of both the IR and VCD spectra is examined and found to be more demanding in the latter case.

Alkynes are rarely modified using visible light catalysis employing molecular editing techniques. In this work, we utilized triplet excited nitroarenes to transform linear alkyne topology to bent ketone fragments. The process involves the concurrent insertion of an oxygen atom and the detection of a carbon atom. The effectiveness and broad applicability of this approach were demonstrated through its successful application across diverse substrates (31 examples), compatibility with various functionalities and the modification of bioactive molecules, scalability in large-scale synthesis in continuous flow, and the synthesis of commercially available drug molecules. UV-vis spectroscopic studies unveiled the role of visible light in exciting the nitroarene in its triplet state. Preliminary mechanistic experiments by various kinetic and control experiments elucidated ketene and nitrosoarene as the key intermediates. The deleted carbon is released as CO and CO2 gases.
Bidirectional Molecular Motors by Controlling Threading and Dethreading Pathways of a Linked Rotaxane

Published: December 2023

Artificial molecular motors have attracted significant attention as models of biological machines and molecular motors. Unlike conventional artificial molecular motors, which rely on covalent bond rotation, molecular motors with mechanically interlocked molecules (MIM) generate significant rotational motion via the dynamic shuttling of the macrocyclic components and have thus attracted considerable attention. The topology of MIM-type molecular motors is currently limited to catenane structures, which require intricate synthetic procedures that typically produce a low synthetic yield. In this study, we develop a novel class of MIM-type molecular motors based on a rotaxane-type topology. The switching of the rotaxane threading/dethreading pathway of the linked rotaxane by protection/deprotection of the bulky stopper group and changes in solvent polarity enabled unidirectional rotation of the molecular motor. Detailed spectroscopic investigations provide a quantitative evaluation of the threading/dethreading reaction rates. Repeated unidirectional rotation and switching of the direction of rotation is achieved by controlling the reaction rates. Our findings demonstrate that linked rotaxanes can serve as MIM-type molecular motors whose rotation direction can be switched by controlling the threading/dethreading reactions; these motors are expected to find applications as a component of molecular machinery.
