Problematizing the Black-White racial dichotomy inherent to high school graduation rate accountability: A mixed methods critical policy analysis
Authors: Viano Samantha , Gray-Nicolas Nakia M.
Published: November 2024

The U.S. Department of Education introduced the four-year adjusted cohort high school graduation rate formula in 2008 to usher high school graduation in as a high-stakes accountability metric. This policy sought to address disparate graduation rates by student race but did not attend to systemic reasons why minoritized students had lower graduation rates. Using a critical structural capital theoretical framework, this mixed methods critical policy analysis analyzes federal and state-level policy on high school graduation rate accountability and state administrative data from North Carolina to assess how policy ignores structural inequality in ways that result in divergent access to traditional forms of capital, dismissing non-traditional forms of capital necessary for college and career readiness. A critical discourse analysis of policy finds language that alludes to college and career readiness but relies on high school graduation alone as the metric. We use these findings to provide context for our quantitative analysis. In school-by-cohort fixed effects models, Black students were more likely to fail courses than similar White students but more likely to graduate high school. These findings indicate federal accountability incentivized schools to push more Black students to graduate but did so at the expense of their college and career readiness.
Development and Characterization of a Chitosan and Polyvinyl Alcohol (CS/PVP)-Based Slow-Release Urea Fertilizer Membrane
Authors: Lusiana Retno Ariadi , Khabibi Khabibi , Nuryanto Rahmad , Al Aziz Muhammad Ridho Shofwan
Published: November 2024

A slow-release test of urea fertilizer was conducted using chitosan-urea (CS-U) and chitosan/polyvinyl pyrrolidone K30-urea (CS/PVP-U) membranes. The urea membrane synthesis involved a blending method, with PVP K30 added as a component. The slow-release capabilities of CS-U, CS/PVP1-U, CS/PVP2-U, CS/PVP3-U, and CS/PVP4-U membranes were compared. FTIR results showed an increased intensity of the primary NH double peak at 1587 cm-1 and 1640 cm-1, while the C=O spectrum shifted from 1640 to 1647 cm-1 and the -OH group from 3354 cm-1 to 3362 cm-1, indicating hydrogen bond formation in CS/PVP-U. XRD analysis confirmed the membrane’s amorphous structure, and FE-SEM and AFM studies revealed morphology and roughness differences, with CS/PVP4-U having the largest cross-sectional diameter. The release study showed that PVP-modified chitosan membranes increased urea release, achieving 60 ppm/2 days for the first 16 days, then decreasing to about 55 ppm through day 30, with partial urea release controlled over time. This suggests that SRF fertilizer can effectively control urea release into the environment.
Ludonarrative coherence and ludomusical harmony: the case of Night in the Woods
Authors: Mochocka Aleksandra , Walczak Radosław
Published: November 2024

The article presents two related concepts crucial for the discussionand design of narrative-driven video games, namely ludonarrativecoherence and ludomusical harmony, as represented in Night in the Woods(Infinite Fall, 2017). Ludonarrative coherence encompasses the designchoices that help to integrate the narrative with the gameplay, and ludomusicalharmony represents this concept in relation to game music. In otherwords, in narrative-driven games the story told, the gameworld created,and the game mechanics afforded should enhance, rather than encumber,one another. Night in the Woods is a game that successfully maintains ludonarrativecoherence and harmony, as we illustrate on selected examples ofmechanics that imply limited agency, relatively low level of difficulty, or asense of failure.

Authors: Solarczyk-Ambrozik Ewa
Published: November 2024

Szkolnictwo wyższe definiowane jest przez charakter generowanej i rozpowszechnianej wiedzy, jego role społeczne, cechy studentów i kadry akademickiej, a także przez dynamikę zmian zachodzących w środowisku społeczno-gospodarczym i kulturowym, szczególnie w kontekście postępu technologicznego i cywilizacyjnego. Artykuł ten poświęcony jest omówieniu zmian o charakterze globalnym, regionalnym i instytucjonalnym, które prowadzą do transformacji w obszarze szkolnictwa wyższego – odchodzenia od modelu humboldtowskiego w kierunku rozwoju uniwersytetu przedsiębiorczego. Poruszane zagadnienia w kontekście modyfikacji misji i strategii uniwersytetów obejmują globalną kulturę edukacyjną, „cichą rewolucję edukacyjną”, komercjalizację szkolnictwa wyższego oraz ideę uczenia się przez całe życie. Refleksja nad tymi kategoriami pojęciowymi pozwala umieścić temat w konkretnej perspektywie teoretycznej.
O multimedialnych zakazanych owocach szkolnych korytarzy oraz o tym, czy warto grać z uczniami
Authors: Przybyła Mariusz
Published: November 2024

Tendencja do niesprawiedliwego przypisywania grom komputerowym wyłącznie pejoratywnych cech powoli staje się przestarzała. Coraz częściej dostrzega się w nich wiele kontekstów edukacyjnych oraz możliwości rozwijania określonych umiejętności, wspierania tradycyjnych form nauczania i zajęć pozalekcyjnych, a także kompensowania braków. Te cechy mają konstruktywny wpływ zarówno na najmłodszych, jak i starszych odbiorców oprogramowania, które – choć można podzielić na różne gatunki i podgatunki – określane jest mianem gier komputerowych. Racjonalne wykorzystanie zjawiska (edukacyjnych) gier komputerowych – łączących zabawę z nauką – w procesie wspierania edukacji może stać się atrakcyjną alternatywą dla tradycyjnych metod nauczania. Takie podejście nie tylko budzi ogromne zainteresowanie uczniów, ale także motywuje ich i wzbudza chęć pogłębiania wiedzy. Multisensoryczny charakter oraz konwergencja gier stanowią cenny argument za ich zastosowaniem zarówno dla uczniów, jak i nauczycieli. Dodatkowo gry komputerowe mogą pełnić rolę narzędzia optymalizującego proces edukacyjny i przyczyniać się do zwiększenia jego efektywności. Urządzenia mobilne, zwłaszcza smartfony, zyskały na popularności i odgrywają ważną rolę wspierającą także osoby cierpiące na takie schorzenia, jak cukrzyca typu pierwszego.
Edukacja klimatyczna w podstawie programowej: wyzerowany program Elliota Eisnera
Authors: Kozłowska Agnieszka
Published: November 2024

Zmiany klimatyczne są jednym z największych wyzwań ludzkości, a edukacja stanowi istotne narzędzie w walce z nimi. Jednak pomimo zobowiązań wynikających bezpośrednio lub pośrednio z międzynarodowych umów, edukacja klimatyczna jest przede wszystkim realizowana poza systemem edukacji formalnej. Celem tego badania było zbadanie obecności i zakresu treści związanych z edukacją klimatyczną, a także narracji na temat kryzysu środowiskowego i klimatycznego, w podstawie programowej szkół średnich. Jako metodę badawczą zastosowano analizę dokumentów (analizę treści) przy użyciu dostosowanego klucza, obejmującego 100 słów kluczowych w 9 kategoriach. Materiałem poddanym badaniu była podstawa programowa dla szkół ponadpodstawowych (szkoły średnie, szkoły techniczne oraz szkoły zawodowe). Analizie poddano wszystkie przedmioty w podstawie programowej, ponieważ zmiany klimatyczne dotyczą nie tylko nauk przyrodniczych, ale także nauk społecznych i humanistycznych. Wyniki analizy ujawniły marginalną obecność edukacji klimatycznej w podstawie programowej. Termin "zmiany klimatyczne" pojawia się tylko 4 razy w całym dokumencie, w jednym przedmiocie: geografii. Z 100 kodów opisujących kryzys klimatyczny i środowiskowy, w dokumencie pojawiło się tylko 6: zmiany klimatyczne, zrównoważony rozwój, bioróżnorodność, katastrofa ekologiczna, utrzymywanie równowagi i wylesianie. Terminy te występują w kontekście, który charakteryzował się narracją sceptycyzmu wobec ludzkiej odpowiedzialności za obecny stan środowiska oraz potencjalne ryzyko dalszego nadmiernego wykorzystywania planety. Wnioski: Obecne podejście do edukacji klimatycznej sprzyja fałszywej, negacjonistycznej świadomości ekologicznej opartej na przekonaniu "nic się nie dzieje, wszystko jest pod kontrolą". Nie wyposaża ono uczniów w niezbędne umiejętności do radzenia sobie ze zmianami klimatycznymi i kryzysem środowiskowym. W związku z tym można je uznać za pusty program według Elliota Eisnera.

Authors: Cytlak Izabela , Mamadaminova Nigora
Published: November 2024

This study aims to analyze the contemporary landscape of women’s entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan, a developing nation in Central Asia, against the backdrop of ongoing reforms across various sec tors. The research explores the initiatives undertaken to promote gender equality, empower women, and nurture entrepreneurial activities among them. By delving into the significance of women’s economic participation, assessing the current status of gender equality, and elucidating the opportunities and challenges for women entrepreneurs, this article provides insights into the evolving scenario of women’s entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan. Drawing upon secondary data, the study reveals a growing interest and involvement of women in small-scale business ventures and entrepreneurship. However, it also highlights a deficiency in requisite business acumen and expertise among women entrepreneurs, along with a lack of awareness regarding government support measures. The implications derived from this research underscore the need for policymaking interventions aimed at creating a conducive and supportive ecosystem tailored to facilitate the endeavours of aspiring women entrepreneurs in Uzbekistan.
Screening of prognostic core genes based on cell–cell interaction in the peripheral blood of patients with sepsis
Authors: Li Shaolan , Chen Wenhao , Zhang Zhihong , Yuan Ling , Hu Yingchun , Chen Muhu
Published: November 2024

Peripheral blood samples from 15 septic patients admitted within 24 h and 8 healthy volunteers were used to conduct RNA-seq. Quantitative PCR of THP1 cells was performed to investigate the expression levels of the selected key genes. A total of 1,128 differential genes were identified, 721 of which were upregulated and 407 were downregulated. These genes are mainly involved in neutrophil activation, T cell regulation, immune effector process regulation, cytokine receptor activity, and cytokine binding. The six target genes were ELANE, IL1R2, RAB13, RNASE3, FCGR1A, and TLR5. In the sepsis group, FCGR1A and TLR5 were positively associated with survival compared to ELANE, IL1R2, RAB13, and RNASE3, which were adversely associated with survival. Furthermore, a meta-analysis based on public databases revealed an increased expression of these six target genes in the peripheral blood of patients with sepsis. In addition, we discovered that monocytes primarily express these genes. Using qPCR, we confirmed that these six important genes were highly expressed in lipopolysaccharide-treated THP1 cells. In summary, these findings suggest that ELANE, IL1R2, RAB13, RNASE3, FCGR1A, and TLR5 may influence the prognosis of patients with sepsis and provide novel insights and potential avenues for the treatment of sepsis.

Authors: Song Zhen , Qing Xuwen , Zhou Meng , Men Yuting
Published: November 2024

To solve the problem of poor object detection effect caused by uneven light and high noise in underground mines, this study proposes a TTFNet (training-time-friendly network)-based object detection algorithm for underground mines. First, CenterNet and TTFNet algorithms are introduced, then pooling is introduced into CSPNet basic structure to design a lightweight feature extraction network, at the same time optimizing the feature fusion way in the original algorithm, optimizing residual shrinkage network structure, and introducing it into object detection task. Experiments were conducted on the established underground data set. The results show that compared with the original algorithm, our proposed algorithm can still maintain similar accuracy while significantly reducing model parameters; compared with other anchor-based detection algorithms, it has achieved similar overall performance.
Becoming-with in Anicka Yi’s Artistic Practice
Authors: Capurro Edoardo
Published: November 2024

The intent of this article is to investigate the works of Anicka Yi, looking for the elements that make this artist a primary figure in the artistic redefinition of the category of human and the boundary that divides it from everything that is more than human. After a short introduction, the theoretical aspects expressed by philosophers, anthropologists or academics of other disciplines such as Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers and Donna Haraway are analyzed to define the worlding, the central theme of this paper. At that point, the artist and her practice are introduced, and then, the Metaspore exhibition of 2022, in which the four works examined in this article are present. These: Le Pain Symbiotique, When Species Meet Part 2 (Vegetable Psychology), Releasing The Human From The Human and Biologizing The Machine (Spillover Zoonotica), are then presented and studied, combining the artistic process with theoretical concepts by Anna L. Tsing, Rosi Braidotti, Marylin Strathern and Elizabeth Povinelli among others. The article, therefore, attempts to highlight how Yi’s works and artistic making are particularly effective examples of worlding, becoming-with of human and more than human. Works are both a new perspective of investigation on life and a new urgent posture toward the future in the era of the Anthropocene.

The efficacy of thread embedding acupuncture on pain score, neck disability index, and pressure pain threshold for myofascial pain therapy in the upper trapezius muscle
Authors: Winarno Emilia Puspitasari , Mihardja Hasan , Barasila Atikah Chalida , Budianto Stefanus Agung
Published: November 2024

Background

Myofascial pain characterized by myofascial trigger point (MTrP) is a common cause of musculoskeletal pain and the main cause of neck and shoulder pain in the working population. Thread embedding acupuncture (TEA) is a new modality that can provide long-term stimulation to prolong the same therapeutic effect as conventional acupuncture. This study aimed to determine the effect of TEA therapy on pain score, neck disability index (NDI), and pressure pain threshold (PPT) for myofascial pain in the upper trapezius muscle.

Methods

The research design in this study was a double-blind, randomized clinical trial. This study with 44 research subjects was divided into TEA group (n=22) and sham TEA group (n=22). Both groups will receive TEA therapy once using CARA brand monofilament polydioxanone thread 29Gx50 mm or sham TEA (thread removed) at one trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle which will be followed-up on 3 days, 1 week, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks post-therapy.

Results

Both groups experienced significantly reduced pain intensity and disability, also increased PPT at 3 days, 1 week, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks post-therapy (p<0.001). TEA therapy had better effectiveness in improving pain intensity at 4 weeks (p=0.007) and 8 weeks post-therapy (p=0.004), NDI scores at 8 weeks post-therapy (p=0.004), and PPT at 4 weeks (p=0.04) and 8 weeks post-therapy (p=0.002) compared to sham TEA.

Conclusion

TEA reduced pain intensity and disability, and increased PPT for patients with myofascial pain in the upper trapezius muscle.
Examining generative image models amidst privacy regulations
Authors: Ismael Hannah
Published: November 2024

As diffusion models emerge as a new frontier in generative AI, requiring vast image databases as their inputs, the question arises: how should regulators approach policies concerning the collection and utilization of these images? Though generative image models currently interpret the data they scrape as public, regulatory bodies have yet to confirm this as a viable understanding. This paper explores the current public/personal distinction of data as well as the respective legal standards for both categories in both the American and European context. This paper acts as a guide for regulators seeking to understand monopolization and privacy implications of confirming the validity of using open sourced images versus imagining a reality of curated or licensed datasets amidst outrage from artists over a breach of an expectation of collection/use to their artwork. Though arguments have been made regarding using copyright to protect artists, this paper seeks to explore other pathways for regulating generative image models under our current conceptual frameworks of privacy.

Revisiting the Notion of Vicarious Cause: Allure, Metaphor, and Realism in Object-Oriented Ontology
Authors: Cogburn Jon , Young Niki
Published: November 2024

We revisit the notion of vicarious causation in Graham Harman’s Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) in order to first show that Harman has articulated two iterations of his account that are in tension with one another; one is found in his earlier paper “On Vicarious Causation,” while the other is contained in his later writings following the publication of Object-Oriented Ontology: A New Theory of Everything. This involves a critical assessment of his developing theory of metaphor in a way that encourages sympathetic revision in the service of improving his non-correlationist view of intra-objective relations.
Revival Churches Abuses and Well-Being in Cameroon
Authors: Mpabe Bodjongo Mathieu Juliot
Published: November 2024

This paper examines how individuals value the establishment of a regulatory mechanism for revival churches (RCs). The analysis focuses on a sample of 1,475 individuals living in the Cameroonian cities of Yaoundé and Douala, based on a field survey. Drawing on theoretical and empirical literature, particularly in the fields of economics of religion, regulatory economics, and experimental economics, the econometric results obtained using the choice experiment method and a nested logit model show that individuals are in favor of setting up a mechanism to reduce the abuses of revival churches having as attributes: (i) “the census of RCs and their pastors”, (ii) the closure of RCs whose pastors have not received theological training from an accredited school, and (iii) the closure of rented RCs. These people are willing to pay 176 XAF for “the census of RCs and their pastors”, 140 XAF for “the closure of RCs where pastors have not received theological training from an accredited school”, and 253 XAF for “the closure of rented RCs”.
On the Invariance Result of Liability Rules in Oligopoly
Authors: Kim Daewon , Kim Jeong-Yoo
Published: November 2024

In this paper, we revisit the invariance result of liability rules established by Polinsky (1980. “Strict Liability vs. Negligence in a Market Setting.” The American Economic Review 70: 363–7) and Shavell (1980. “Strict Liability Versus Negligence.” Journal of Legal Studies 9: 1–25) in oligopoly. We show that in the case of linear demand functions, symmetric duopoly firms produce less than the efficient quantity levels under all of the no liability rule, the strict liability rule and the negligence rule but they take the efficient level of care under the strict liability rule and the negligence rule whereas they take no care under no liability rule. Thus, the invariance result does not hold in the case of duopoly. So, contrary to the invariance result, our result has an important implication that the liability rule in addition to the price plays a crucial role in providing a proper incentive to duopoly firms. Instead, we establish a weaker version of invariance result between the strict liability rule and the negligence rule in oligopoly with general demand functions.

O impacto da guerra trouxe alterações significativas no que tange à inserção dessas mulheres no mercado de trabalho, interferindo momentaneamente na relação entre os gêneros, trazendo à tona novos conflitos e expondo os limites dos avanços ocorridos no período. O debate sobre a igualdade salarial e as controvérsias em torno do trabalho doméstico se mostraram questões centrais no debate a respeito do trabalho feminino. Com a construção do Estado de bem-estar social a partir de 1945, as mesmas questões se manifestaram novamente, agora a partir da lógica específica do Estado social britânico, apresentando os mesmos limites estruturais.

The debate on equal pay and the disputes surrounding domestic work have become central issues in the debate on women's work. With the construction of the welfare State after 1945, the same questions arose again, now based on the specific logic of the British Welfare State, but presenting the same structural limits. At different junctures, gender hierarchies have been shown to structure the capitalist mode of production.Keywords: Working women; World War II; Post-War; Great-Britain Gender, labour, war and peace in the UK: the impact of World War II and immediate post-war period on the lives of British women workers (1939-1951)

H3K27 Trimethylation-Mediated Downregulation of miR-216a-3p in Sensory Neurons Regulates Neuropathic Pain Behaviors via Targeting STIM1
Authors: Sun Yufang , Tao Yu , Cao Junping , Zhang Yaqun , Huang Zitong , Wang Shoupeng , Lu Weiwei , Zhu Qi , Shan Lidong , Jiang Dongsheng , Zhang Yuan , Tao Jin
Published: November 2024

Although the therapeutic potential of microRNA-mediated gene regulation has been investigated, its precise functional regulatory mechanism in neuropathic pain remains incompletely understood. In this study, we elucidate that miR-216a-3p serves as a critical noncoding RNA involved in the modulation of trigeminal-mediated neuropathic pain. By conducting RNA-seq and qPCR analysis, we observed a notable decrease of miR-216a-3p in the injured trigeminal ganglia (TG) of male rats. Intra-TG administration of miR-216a-3p agomir or lentiviral-mediated overexpression of miR-216a-3p specifically in sensory neurons of injured TGs alleviated established neuropathic pain behaviors, while downregulation of miR-216a-3p (pharmacologically or genetically) in naive rats induced pain behaviors. Moreover, nerve injury significantly elevated the histone H3 lysine-27 (H3K27) trimethylation (H3K27me3) levels in the ipsilateral TG, thereby suppressing the SRY-box TF 10 (SOX10) binding to the
miR-216a-3p
promoter and resulting in the reduction of miR-216a-3p. Inhibiting the enzymes responsible for catalyzing H3K27me3 restored the nerve injury-induced reduction in miR-216a-3p expression and markedly ameliorated neuropathic pain behaviors. Furthermore, miR-216a-3p targeted stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), and the decreased miR-216a-3p associated with neuropathic pain caused a significant upregulation in the protein abundance of STIM1. Conversely, overexpression of miR-216a-3p in the injured TG suppressed the upregulation of STIM1 expression and reversed the mechanical allodynia. Together, the mechanistic understanding of H3K27me3-dependent SOX10/miR-216a-3p/STIM1 signaling axial in sensory neurons may facilitate the discovery of innovative therapeutic strategies for neuropathic pain management.

In the present work, the effect of co-doping of rare earth (Re3+), La and Er cations on the
physical and dielectric performance of Cd-Zn spinel ferrites fabricated by sol-gel auto
combustion method is reported. The prepared ferrites were doubly calcinated at 550 ℃ and
750 ℃ for 2 hours and 8 hours, respectively. The obtained samples were investigated using
XRD, FTIR and dielectric measurements. XRD powder patterns verified the single-phase
growth of spinel structure of all the as-synthesized ferrites with Fd-3m space group. The
obtained results revealed that the Lattice constant reduces with increasing Er3+
concentrations, while crystallite size showed increasing behavior with increasing Er3+
concentration. FTIR results revealed the existence of two major absorptionbands i.e. low
frequency bands in range 405-428 cm-1 and high frequency bands in range 523- 550 cm-1
which are evidence of spinel structure formation. LCR measurements are used to investigate
the impact of co-doping of La3+ and Er3+ on the various dielectric parameters of prepared
samples in response to frequency. Dielectric constant and loss decreased with the
incorporation of Er3+, while an increase in ac conductivity was observed. The observed
properties reveal that the prepared materials are suitable candidates for application in the
high-speed microwave and radio frequency devices.

This study developed novel polyurethane-chitosan/zinc oxide (PU/CS/ZnO) nanocomposite
films for food packaging applications. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via a green
approach using Mentha pulegium leaf extract and incorporated into PU/CS blends at various
concentrations. The PU/CS/ZnO-5% nanocomposite exhibited optimal performance across
multiple properties. XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed the successful incorporation of ZnO
nanoparticles (average crystallite size 28 nm) and their interaction with the polymer matrix.
SEM and TEM imaging revealed uniform dispersion of ZnO nanoparticles throughout the
film. The results of mechanical testing indicated a significant improvement in both tensile
strength and Young's modulus, with a 51% increase in the former and a 68% increase in the
latter when compared to the pure PU/CS blend. UV-vis spectroscopy demonstrated excellent
UV-blocking ability, with a UV protection factor of 42.7 for the PU/CS/ZnO-5% film. The
nanocomposite films exhibited enhanced antioxidant activity, with a 110% increase in
DPPH radical scavenging activity for the PU/CS/ZnO-5% sample. Biodegradability studies
showed 58.1% weight loss after 12 weeks of soil burial. Shelf-life extension studies on
strawberries revealed that the PU/CS/ZnO-5% film significantly outperformed commercial
LDPE packaging, with only 4.2% weight loss and 78.5% firmness retention after 14 days of
storage. The nanocomposite films also demonstrated antimicrobial properties, with reduced
microbial growth on packaged strawberries. These results highlight the potential of
PU/CS/ZnO nanocomposite films as multifunctional, biodegradable packaging materials for
perishable foods.

Is Indonesia’s Company Law Ready to Turn the Page on Outdated Liquidation Procedures?
Authors: Waisapi Jeffry Yuliyanto
Published: November 2024

Business practices in Indonesia increasingly rely on Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), which are central to various sectors, including trade, industry, finance, and insurance. Liquidation, the process of dissolving an LLC and settling its assets, plays a critical role when a company ceases operations. This study examines the legal framework governing LLC liquidation under Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies (UUPT), using a normative juridical approach. It highlights the liquidator's role in the dissolution process, grounded in Article 1233 of the Indonesian Civil Code, which outlines that legal relationships arise from consent or law. Upon liquidation, the liquidator assumes responsibility for managing the company’s assets and liabilities, as mandated by Article 149, paragraph (1) of the UUPT. The liquidator’s duties include collecting assets, notifying creditors, publishing liquidation notices in newspapers and the State Gazette, and distributing remaining funds to shareholders. The liquidator must also provide a final report to the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS) or the court for approval. Once the report is accepted, the LLC is formally dissolved and ceases to exist as a legal entity. This study reveals the need for reform in the liquidation procedures, emphasizing the complexity of managing the dissolution process in today’s interconnected business environment. With evolving commercial dynamics, the current legal framework may require updates to streamline liquidation and ensure more effective resolution for all stakeholders involved.
SYNTHESIS OF ALDONITRONES OF THE 1-PYRROLINE-1-OXIDE SERIES USING A THREE-COMPONENT DOMINO REACTION OF GLYCINE ESTERS, KETONES AND ACTIVATED OLEFINS
Authors: S.A. DOBRYNIN , I.A. KIRILYUK
Published: November 2024

Aldonitrones of pyrroline series are widely used in organic synthesis, in particular in the synthesis of alkaloids and other biologically active compounds, and as spin traps for short-lived radicals. A three-component domino process involving glycine benzyl ester, ketones (cyclohexanone and diethyl ketone) and fumaric acid esters was used to synthesise aldonitrones of the pyrroline series of 1-pyrroline-1-oxide. The benzyl esters of 3,4,5-substituted prolines obtained in the first step were selectively cleaved by hydrogenolysis. Oxidation of the resulting cyclic amino acids in the tungstate - hydrogen peroxide system is accompanied by decarboxylation and leads to the formation of 3,4,5-substituted 1-pyrroline-1-oxides. It is shown that the ester groups in these compounds can be reduced to hydroxymethyl ones by an excess of lithium aluminum hydride, and subsequent treatment with manganese dioxide leads to aldonitrone group recovery.

Modern trends in the development of structural biology make it relevant to study the structure of biomolecules under the conditions close to natural, i.e., directly in a living cell and at temperatures close to physiological ones. One of the promising technologies that allows approaching this ideal is the targeted introduction of spin labels (for example, nitroxides), followed by investigation using pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Today, the greatest stability in living systems is demonstrated by sterically hindered nitroxyl radicals of the pyrrolidine series with four ethyl groups at a paramagnetic centre, but their relaxation characteristics do not allow measurements by pulsed ESR methods at a temperature above 80 K. Nitroxides with spirocycloalkane fragments surrounding the nitroxyl group are suitable for measurements at higher temperatures, but they are rapidly reduced by the components of living systems. Pyrrolidine nitroxides with two spiro-(2-hydroxymethyl)cyclopentane moieties combine high resistance to reduction with high spin relaxation times at a temperature of 120 K and above. In this work, a hydrophilic chiral radical of this series - (1R,5S,7S,8R,12S,13S)-12,13-dihydroxy-1,8-bis(hydroxymethyl)-6-azadispiro[4.1.4.2]tridecane-6-oxyl was obtained and characterised by us for the first time.

Вострикова, лингвистическая экспедиция под началом Н.Н. Поппе и антропологическая экспедиция Г.И. Петрова, а также была организована первая конференция по изучению производительных сил данной территории. Исследование базируется на опубликованной делопроизводственной документации СОПС и на материалах, представленных в научной периодике. Автором применен социальный подход к истории науки.

The Academy of Sciences of the USSR established the Council for the Study of Productive Forces for the purpose of comprehensive study of the country’s natural resources. It arose in 1930 during the reorganization of the Academy of Sciences on the basis of the pre-existing Commission for the Study of Natural Productive Forces which had similar goals. The Council was part of the structure of the Academy of Sciences for the next three decades, until its transfer to the department of the USSR State Planning Committee in the early 1960s. During this long period, the Council provided overall guidance, organization and conduct of scientific expeditions in various regions of the USSR. The responsibilities of the Council also included the organization, management and planning of work on the study of the productive forces in the laboratories and institutes of the Academy of Sciences. In the 1930s, the Council became the main instrument for adapting the Academy of Sciences to the demands of the government. With the help of the Council, the Academy of Sciences got involved in the development of major national economic programs that allowed it to maintain the status of the main scientific organization of the country (the most important projects of the 1930s in which the Council was involved were the Ural-Kuznetsk industrial complex and the Baikal-Amur Mainline). In the early 1930s, due to the needs of economic development of the country, the Council concentrated main research in the eastern regions. The article is devoted to the activities of the Council for the Study of Productive Forces on the territory of Buryat-Mongolia. It covers the period from 1931, when the Council conducted its first scientific expeditions in the territory of the republic, until 1934, when the Council organized a special conference on the study of productive forces of Buryat-Mongolia, which was the last scientific event related to the republic in the pre-war period.
