Capital Management Using Stock Sales
Authors: Mohammadi Reza
Published: December 2018

Based on a large sample of publicly listed and non-listed US commercial banks from 1996 to 2011, we find robust evidence consistent with banks using realized available for sale (AFS) securities gains and losses to smooth earnings and increase low regulatory capital. We also find that (i) banks with positive earnings smooth earnings, and banks with negative earnings generally take big baths; (ii) regulatory capital constrains big baths; (iii) banks with more negative earnings and more unrealized beginning-of-quarter losses (gains) take big baths (smooth earnings); and (iv) banks with low regulatory capital and more unrealized gains realize more gains. Also, banks with negative earnings tak big baths (avoid or reduce the earnings loss) if their unrealized gains are insufficient (sufficient) to offset the negative earnings. Our inferences apply to listed and non-listed banks, which indicates that the earnings management incentives do not derive solely from public capital markets. Our findings reveal that the accounting for AFS securities gains and losses enables banks to manage regulatory capital and earnings in a variety of ways.
MENGGALI PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER ANAK “Perspektif R.A. Kartini”

There is still an urgent figure of RA Kartini reviewed and used as a historical reference. It is interesting to know the background of her family situation, social, and religious conditions of RA Kartini during her lifetime so that all make her to be the ideal figure, a woman whose had strong spirit at her time, dynamic, and be independent, high intellectual, modern -minded, also had social sensitivity and a spirit of nationalism and a sense of God. Due to her thought and struggle, she labels as an Indonesian women movement pioneer, an intellectual, an educator, a journalist, and a social worker. RA Kartini’s biography shows a lot of factors that affect their lives, including her thoughts. By analyzing her historical life, there are some character building factors that can be uploaded in children education nowadays, namely: strong, smart, and religious. Critical social character, educator character, and social character with a progressive vision are what began to disappear in today children education. RA Kartini’s character building can be used as a reference for Indonesian to build a strong and visionary one, that can be started from the base of Raudhotul Atfal Teacher Education (PGRA).
MENAKAR PRINSIP-PRINSIP FILOSOFIS DALAM PEMBELAJARAN RAUDLATUL ATHFAL
Authors: Mas'udi Mas'udi
Published: December 2018

Analysis of learning development at the level of Raudlatul Athfal (RA) gives the feel of a dialogical existence as a base for Islamic education reunited with the latest educational globalized reality. Learning patterns that will be applied at RA level are necessarily exposed to the offred curriculum systematization. Would it offer a foothold to the scienctific dichotomy or integrating aspects? Both of these realities became the basis for explaining the essential scientific development in RA level. Philosophical principles in RA learning development definitely should be able to do a reading to the early growth dynamics of thought in education. The existence of Islamic educational thought as the learning basis in the RA’s development is essentially related to Greek thought underlying earlier. The intersection of this
thought should undoubtedly be realized so that the achievement of the learning
philosophical principles is globally recognized.

Learning style is a characteristic cognitive, affective and psychomotor
behavior, which acts as an indicator of relative stability for the learners feeling
interconnected and reacting to the learning environment. Learning style refers
to the preferred way of learning learners. Generally, it is considered that a
person’s learning style is derived from personality variables, including cognitive
and psychological composition of the socio-cultural background, education and
experience. Diversity of learning styles of students need to firstly consider any
institution that they will join in. Almost all students (kindergarten) has a mix
of learning styles, very few children who have only one learning style. Learning
style is a mix of learning styles which children sometimes type at once visual and

person, in which the self concept is a frame of reference to interact with the
environment. When people perceive themselves, give meaning and shape
abstraction assessment of him means he showed self-awareness and the ability
to get out of myself to see him as he did to the world outside himself.
The process of development of self-concept often experience problems when
should collide with the physical and psychological conditions that do not

in the process of development for disability children often result in low quality
of their self-concept. Negative self-concept in disability children are often
influenced by various factors such as the refusal of parents, teachers, friends
and society. Then the required education and put more stress on approaches
that are emotional in educational services for disability children that can be

formation of a positive self-concept. The success of disability children in the
form of positive self concept will bring opportunities for disability children to
be more independent and confident that they are capable of self-actualization

Multiple intelligences development in early childhood is a learning process that will be developed by early childhood educators in the implementation of learning educators who want to teach a subject matter, then the educators to teach in accordance with the trend of learning styles of learners. Because in one classroom there are some students who each have different intelligences. This research on multiple intelligence development in early childhood.

 

The purpose of this study were (1) to determine the definition of multiple intelligences; (2) to determine the types of multiple intelligences; (3) to implement learning activities focused on the development of intelligence plural (multiple intelligences).

 

This paper use a qualitative approach (library research). It try to gain an understanding of the holistic about the problems being faced by the reality (Sugiyono (2010: 1). The method of this study appeared as a paradigm shift in looking at reality or phenomena or symptoms.

 

Every school should  be able to develop intelligence potential of each child. Paradigm of  intelligence and child's success is only assessed on IQ or mark, whereas the concept of multiple intelligences is, Howard Gardner argues that each student is intelligent. And intelligence is not just one, but plural. The type rather than the multiple intelligences include, among others: (1) Intelligence of logic or mathematics is the intelligence in terms of numbers and logic. ; (2) The language or linguistic intelligence is the intelligence of word processing, or the ability to use words effectively both orally and in writing. ; (3) visual-spatial intelligence is one part of the plural intelligence which is closely linked to the ability to visualize images; (4) musical intelligence is the ability to handle musical forms; (5) Physical intelligence is an intelligence which currently use are capable of doing great movements, such as running, dancing .; (6) The naturalist intelligence is the expertise to identify and categorize the species (flora and fauna) in the surrounding neighborhood .; (7) intrapersonal intelligence is the ability of ourselves to think reflectively; (8) Interpersonal intelligence is to think by communicating with others; (9) an existential intelligence is the ability to feel and appreciate the variety of spiritual experiences on the appropriate lesson or understanding of faith in God.

IMPROVING ENGLISH VOCABULARY MASTERY THROUGH TOTAL
PHYSICAL RESPONSE METHOD IN EARLY CHILDHOOD. In general, the language
component consists of three, namely grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
Vocabulary is a language center and is important for language learning. Without
sufficient vocab, one can not communicate effectively or express all his ideas either
orally or in writing. Teaching vocabulary especially in early childhood should be
emphasized, because having sufficient vocabulary will make it easier for children
to communicate. In addition, early childhood is a very vulnerable or golden age,
because at this time the child’s brain has accelerated the development of up to 80%
of the entire adult brain. Total Physical Response is the perfect method for learning
English for early childhood because the general purpose of the TPR method is
to teach oral language skills at the beginner level. Thus, students understand
spoken language before developing speaking skills, emphasizing the transfer of
communication information.

Published: December 2018

Objective. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the Two Whooley questions and the Arroll question, using the SCID, The Structured Clinical Interview (SCID-I) as the gold standard for detecting perinatal depression. Materials and methods. We interviewed 210 women during pregnancy and 6 months postpartum. Results. The criterion with the greatest sensitivity was responding positively to either Whooley question (pregnancy= 94.7 %; postpartum=100.0%), while the most specific criterion was responding positively to the two Whooley questions plus the Arroll question (Pregnan­cy=90.0% Postpartum = 85.7%). Conclusion. The Whooley and Arroll questions have adequate psychometric properties to detect possible cases of depression during the perinatal period. They can be applied during prenatal check-ups and postpartum consultations. Timely detection of women at risk of perinatal depression can contribute to their treatment for reducing their adverse consequences in mothers and infants.

Bilateral Isolated Spherophakia with Lens Subluxation, High Myopia and Secondary Angle Closure: A Case Report
Authors: Zhang Ye , Thomas Ravi , Wang Cong , Shi Xiangyu
Published: December 2018

Background: Spherophakia is a rare condition and compared to its occurrence with familial and systemic disorders, isolated spherophakia is even more uncommon. This rare case of isolated spherophakia will raise the alertness of physicians when dealing with a high myopia patient with shallow anterior chamber and relatively normal fundus.
Case presentation: We report a case of a 17-year-old male who experienced painless decrease of vision in both eyes (OU) for 11 years, with progression of visual impairment and occasional ocular pain for one year. Examination revealed high myopia, increased intraocular pressures (IOP, 28 mmHg in the right eye (OD) and 33 mmHg in the left (OS)), shallow central anterior chambers, lenses of a spherical shape with superior subluxation, occludable angles without peripheral anterior synechiae, and healthy optic discs OU. A diagnosis of bilateral isolated spherophakia, lens subluxation, high myopia and secondary angle closure (AC) was made. Pars plana lensectomy with anterior vitrectomy and scleral suturing of an intraocular lens was performed. On postoperative follow-up at 19 days OD and 63 days OS, the visual acuity was 6/6 and the IOP was normal without any medication OU.
Conclusions: A presentation with high myopia, shallow anterior chamber with a normal retina should alert the clinician to the possibility of spherophakia, as compared to high myopia caused by elongated axial length. Surgery should be considered in cases of spherophakia with AC where the IOP cannot be controlled by noninvasive means.

Published: December 2018

Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are widely used for establishing evidence of the effectiveness of interventions, yet public health interventions are often complex, posing specific challenges for RCTs. While there is increasing recognition that qualitative methods can and should be integrated into RCTs, few frameworks and practical guidance highlight which qualitative methods should be integrated and for what purposes. As a result, qualitative methods are often poorly or haphazardly integrated into existing trials and researchers rely heavily on standard interviews and focus group discussions. To improve current practice, we propose a framework for innovative qualitative research methods that can help address the challenges of RCTs for complex public health interventions.
Methods: We used a stepped approach to develop a practical framework for researchers, which included: (1) a systematic review of the innovative qualitative methods mentioned in the health literature, (2) in-depth interviews with 23 academics from different methodological backgrounds working on RCTs of public health interventions in 11 different countries, and (3) framework development and group consensus-building process.
Results: The findings are presented according to the CONSORT Statement categories for ease of use. The main challenges of RCTs for public health interventions are identified alongside each of the CONSORT categories and potential innovative qualitative methods that overcome each challenge are listed as part of a Framework for the Integration of Innovative Qualitative Methods into RCTs of Complex Health Interventions. Innovative qualitative methods raised in the interviews and discussed in detail include: rapid ethnographic appraisals, document analysis, diary methods, interactive voice responses and SMS, community mapping, spiral walks, public randomisation, pair interviews, visual participatory analysis, among others.
Conclusions: The findings of this study point to the usefulness of observational and participatory methods for trials of complex public health interventions, offering a novel contribution to the broader literature about the need for mixed methods approaches. Integrating a diverse toolkit of qualitative methods can enable appropriate adjustments during RCTs, which in turn create more sustainable and effective interventions. However, this will require a cultural shift including the adoption of method-neutral research approaches, transdisciplinary collaborations, and a shift in publishing regimes.

Algunos autores encuentran una posible relación entre el desarrollo de los pueblos de los Andes Centrales con la presencia del maíz (Zea mayz), como producto agrícola extensivo hace poco más de tres mil años.La presencia extensiva de gramíneas, estaría favorecida por las condiciones climáticas de hace tres mil a tres mil quinientos años antes de hoy; luego de un periodo de posibles sequías y un clima húmedo que favoreció el aprovechamiento de las tuberosas, a decir del abandono de los espacios poblados y sus edificios. Condiciones climáticas que favorecieron, a su vez, la integración de microrregiones hacia una economía complementaria de las etnias en aumento poblacional.El desarrollo agrario se vio condicionado por un clima que favorecía la producción y la integración social de las aldeas, con sus medioambientes originales en la consolidación de las etnias regionales.
Conocimientos del tutor en línea en una universidad pública mexicana: Modelo TPACK (Online tutor’s knowledge in a mexican public university: TPACK Model)
Authors: Lima Villeda Diana Natalia , Flores Macías Rosa del Carmen
Published: December 2018

Fue analizada la perspectiva del tutor en línea sobre sus conocimientos delimitados a las materias que imparten en una formación universitaria totalmente en línea, desde el modelo Conocimientos Tecnológicos Pedagógicos y de Contenido (TPACK) que contempla siete dimensiones. Se empleó una escala tipo Likert TPACK que fue adaptada a las actividades del tutor en un aula virtual en un programa de formación universitaria. Se probaron dos hipótesis considerando dos predictores, la formación recibida y el tiempo dedicado a la actividad de tutoría en línea (considerado como el número de horas contratadas en la institución). Es un estudio transversal con una muestra intencional,participaron voluntariamente 50 tutores en línea. Los resultados muestran una confabilidad aceptable en todas las dimensiones; la media general del grupo fue de 129, con una puntuación mínima de 33 y una máxima de 155; en la dimensión Conocimiento de Contenido, el 70% de los tutores dice estar muy de acuerdo con poseerlo; en las demás dimensiones sus respuestas oscilaron entre las opciones muy de acuerdo y de acuerdo. La prueba estadística indica que la formación (en línea o mixta) no se asocia con el conocimiento percibido, en tanto que el tiempo dedicado a la tutoría en línea se asocia de manera directamente proporcional a la percepción del conocimiento (Mann-Whitney z=-2.741, n=34; p.= .006). Este resultado coincide con otros estudios. Así mismo se identifcó que en las dimensiones relativas al conocimiento tecnológico las diferencias son más marcadas.

Level of stress hormones in American mink with an evaluated behavioral profile based on an empathic test
Authors: ZIELIŃSKI DAMIAN , ŚLASKA BRYGIDA , ROZEMPOLSKA-RUCIŃSKA IWONA
Published: December 2018

The aim of the study was to assess the level of stress hormones (cortisol and testosterone) in the blood of minks with a known behavioral profile based on the empathic test. The research was conducted on 100 one-year-old American mink (Neovison vison) females. The empathic test was performed according to the method described by Malmkvist and Hansen (2002) in triplicate with a two-week pause between tests. The test consisted of inserting a wooden stick into the living space of the animal. Animals were classified into four behavioral profiles: aggressive, curious, fearful and neutral. In the evaluation of stress level, the levels of testosterone and cortisol in postmortem blood were determined. Blood levels of testosterone (ng/ml) and cortisol (ng/ml) were determined by the ELFA method (Enzyme Linkes Fluorescent Assay). It has been shown that the behavioral profile of mink had no significant effect on the levels of testosterone and cortisol in the mink blood. Cortisol levels were similar in animals from all four behavioral profiles (40.6 to 46.0 ng / ml). The lowest level of testosterone was found in animals evaluated in the empathic test as aggressive and fearful (0.056 ng/ml and 0.071 ng/ml, respectively). Post mortem sampling reduces the effect of stress resulting from the blood collection itself, but the results of the study indicate that the determination of stress hormone levels in postmortem blood was a non-differentiating characteristic in the context of their behavioral profile.
Oocyte-sperm interactions in the fertilization of birds
Authors: KRAWCZYK ALEKSANDRA , JAWORSKA-ADAMU JADWIGA
Published: December 2018

A thorough understanding of the mechanisms leading to the interaction between the sperm and the ovum in the process of fertilization in birds can facilitate more effective programming and control of the reproduction of these animals in breeding farms. In addition, it may allow the introduction of extracorporeal fertilization techniques, which may be important in the creation of transgenic animals and the reproduction of endangered species. In birds, the process of fertilization is not well known. It is conditioned by a series of interactions between mature reproductive cells. Oocytes are formed in the ovarian follicles of the left ovary. After ovulation, an ovum in the metaphase of the second meiotic division enters the oviduct along with the inner perivitelline layer (IPVL). It gets fertilized in this infundibulum. Male gametes are formed in paired testes located in the abdominal cavity. Sperm cells in the female reproductive tract do not require capacitation and are already fully capable of fertilization. As a result of internal insemination, male reproductive cells enter the oviduct. In this organ, they are selected and stored in the primary and secondary sperm storage tubules of the mucous membrane. They are released in batches shortly before ovulation. After reaching the oocyte, the sperm binds to the IPVL. This induces an acrosomal reaction that allows the male reproductive cells to penetrate to the surface of the oocyte, especially at the germinal pole. Next, as a result of physiological polyspermy, many sperm cells reach the ooplasm where they form haploid male pronucleus. This phenomenon is necessary to activate an polylecithal egg and produce a haploid female pronucleus. In the final stage, the female pronucleus merges with the single male pronucleus, which leads to the formation of a diploid zygote. The excess male pronuclei present in ooplasm are broken down by endonucleases (DNases). Understanding the mechanisms leading to the interaction between sperm and oocyte in birds may allow for more accurate programming and breeding of these animals in poultry farms and the introduction of extracorporeal fertilization techniques. In addition, it could be useful for the reproduction of endangered bird species

Authors: KAHRAMAN HATICE AHU , GÜRBÜZ ÜMIT
Published: December 2018

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of three aging processes (traditional dry aging, wet aging in vacuum shrink pack and dry aging in a highly moisture-permeable bag) in five aging times (0, 7, 14, 21, 28 days) for their effects on physical, chemical, microbial, histological, textural and sensory properties of beef Longissimus lumborum muscle from Holstein-Friesian steers. Longissimus lumborum muscles were aged dry (D), in a dry-aging bag (B) and a vacuum shrink pack (V) for 28 days at 0.5°C±0.5 with 80% humidity. An increase was observed in pH and TBARS values of all samples. All methods caused a decrease in the WBSF value. The decrease of WBSF was rapid until the 14th day. V samples had lower WBSF values in comparison with others. While the L*and a* values were similar on the 28th day in all groups, b* values were different (p<0.05). There were no significant effects of aging treatment on the sarcomere length on the 28th day (p>0.05). An increase was also observed in the numbers of the total viable count, total psychrophilic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, lactic acid bacteria and yeast-mold in all groups. B aging may have a positive effect on safety, quality, yield and shelf stability of aged-beef. V aging significantly improves both textural and sensory characteristics of meat. The most positive effect on flavor, juiciness, tenderness and overall like were observed in the V aged treatment on the 14th day of aging. The use of the vacuum shrink pack is considered to be an alternative packing material in the wet aging method to improve the physicochemical and sensory quality of beef.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of various concentrations of cobalamin (vitamin B12) in Bioexcell® extender on the spermatozoa quality of Simmental bulls. The semen was collected from 12 bulls by means of an artificial vagina. Vitamin B12 at concentrations of 1.50, 2.50, 3.50, and 5.00 mg/mL was added to bovine Bioexcell® extender. The semen aliquots were cooled and preserved at 4°C. Their quality was evaluated during pre-freezing, and then the cooled semen samples were packaged into 0.25 ml straws. The straws were frozen in the vapor of liquid nitrogen, and stored at -196ºC in a container. The straws were thawed one day later, and the characteristics of spermatozoa were examined. The results showed that the effect of vitamin B12 on the viability, DNA fragmentation and motility of spermatozoa was significant under both pre- and post-freezing conditions (p <0.05), and revealed that supplementation of the extender with B12 improved the post-thaw spermatozoa quality in bulls.

A comprehensive assessment of full-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) plants (five plants, 19 independent tests) was undertaken to determine their effectiveness in terms of aerobic and anoxic P removal. By comparing parallel P uptake tests under only aerobic or under anoxic-aerobic conditions, results revealed that introducing an anoxic stage led to an overall P removal of on average 90% of the P removed under only aerobic conditions. This was achieved with negligible higher PHA and glycogen requirements, 30% lower overall oxygen consumption and with the simultaneous removal of nitrate, reducing up to an estimate of 70% of carbon requirements for simultaneous N and P removal. Varying fractions of denitrifying polyphosphate accumulating organisms (DPAOs), from an average of 25% to 84%, were found in different plants. No correlation was found between the DPAO fractions and EBPR configuration, season, or the concentration of any of the microbial groups measured via quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridisation. These included Type I and Type II Ca. Accumulibacter and glycogen accumulating organisms, suggesting that chemical batch tests are the best methodology for quantifying the potential of anoxic P removal in full-scale wastewater treatment plants.
Involvement of Personnel as a Key Reserve of Raising Efficiency of Today’s Companies’ Work
Authors: Gromova N. V.
Published: December 2018

The article studies a relatively new for Russian economy indicator, i.e. personnel involvement. Practice of development and implementation of personnel involvement programs is rather widely spread in overseas organizations. In Russia programs of raising personnel involvement are used only in big companies. Personnel involvement is considered as an indicator of relations 'organization - worker', when the worker is ready to fulfill functions beyond the frames of his/her job description, to apply extra efforts in order to reach the set goals, to recommend the company as an honest employer and to continue working for the company as long as possible. It was found that personnel involvement is a complicated integrated indicator, which is affected by many factors. The author formulated the key groups of factors determining the level of personnel involvement. By analyzing the practice of home and overseas companies it is shown that employees with high level of involvement can provide higher results of the company work at the same time the interrelation between involvement and key business-coefficients of the company was revealed. Competitive advantages gained by today's companies, which use technologies of raising personnel involvement are grounded. Promising lines and trends of raising personnel involvement are formulated.
Innovation Personnel Behavior in the Organization
Authors: Rudaleva I. A. , Kabasheva I. A.
Published: December 2018

The article investigates the essence of innovation behavior and innovation readiness of personnel, identifies internal and external factors of its shaping and shows its role in the organization development. It discusses methodology of estimating innovation readiness of personnel worked out by D. Howkins, K. Rogers, A. Yu. Popova, A. A. Dubova and conducts their comparative analysis. The authors put forward their own methodology of estimating innovation readiness, which includes employees' assessment of their role in innovation processes in the organization, the situation and difficulties of introducing innovation inside the organization, trends and challenges of innovation introduction in the external environment. Results obtained during the estimation of innovation readiness of the administrative-managerial personnel of the Almetievsk central district hospital (the Republic of Tatarstan) are provided in the article. A serious factor is the availability of real possibility to put forward innovation proposals (direct communication) and a subjective assessment by top management of the population readiness to innovation technologies being introduced in the medical organization (positive responses and appraisals of the medical organization's work on the part of the population can foster shaping of the innovation behavior of personnel). We explain the importance of these factors by the direct participation of the administrative-managerial personnel in attaining goals of the program of the Russian Federation 'The Development of Public Health Service'.

Published: December 2018

The article provides history of setting up the company 'Rostagroexport', one of the biggest producer of dairy produce in Russia. The author shows in detail the evolution of the group strategy development, from aggressive dumping to output of premium produce and offer of exclusive services (sports and recreation) and describes preconditions of their development and conditions of implementation, as well as specific features of designing polar strategies supplementing key lines in the group activity, which are typical of the period of corporate maturity. In its speedy development the group successively passed over from strategy of cost leadership to strategy of vertical integration and differentiation and later to strategy of diversification by minimizing risks, optimizing various business-processes, extending its production and trading potential, creating inter-branch cooperation, including enterprises of agriculture, food industry and trade, sports and tourist sphere, etc. An important place in the article is taken by analyzing rules of doing business, i.e. grounds of efficient management of any enterprise developed by B. Alexandrov, the founder of the group as a result of long experience of developing different corporate businesses and a comparative analysis of 'Rostagroexport' group rules with management principles of other well-known entrepreneurs and their companies. On this basis advantages and shortcomings of their use in management of commercial organizations of a wide sphere of activity were identified. Special attention is paid to study and assessment of such socially important rules of doing business, as 'pay to your employees in good time' and 'motivate people in positive ways'.

Published: December 2018

The article provides findings of the research aiming at corroboration of the hypothesis that with the help of visual symbols it is possible to generate directed psycho-emotional conditions of spectators. The research was done in spring 2018 among students of the Russian Plekhanov University of Economics using the method of questionnaire survey. Respondents were surveyed by showing them a random raw of well-known visual images with the request to choose from the list of psycho-emotional conditions the unlimited number of their own associations. This methodology of survey can protect the results from deliberate distortion on the part of the respondent. Later statistic analysis of the questionnaire stage results was conducted in order to develop a probability model of archetypes' availability in the form of associations with high and medium degree of probability. During the analysis it was found out that 3 out of 7 images being tested have highly displayed archetypes in sub-conscious area of respondents' psyche and 4 - a medium display. At the same time only 2 out of 7 images being tested confirmed their archetypical associations, while 5 - pointed to changes in archetypical associations. Apart from that, it was found that all visual images being tested have got besides key psycho-emotional association a lot of side ones, in some cases they have a mirror character (good - bad). This econometric model can be used in visual channels of communication with applicants of the same age group as the respondents' group. The use of this model will provide an opportunity to generate the target psycho-emotional conditions of applicants to support their decision about the place of their education.
An Atom-economic Efficient Synthesis of 1-Amidoalkyl-2-naphthols Mediated By Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) as a Novel Catalyst
Authors: Singh Rajesh K. , Chaudhary Shallu , Prasad D.N. , Kumar Sahil
Published: December 2018

A multicomponent one-pot atom-economic reaction is performed for an efficient synthesis
of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthol from aromatic aldehydes, β-naphthol and amide/urea promoted by
hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP). Various techniques such as stirring, microwave irradiation
and thermal technique (hot plate and oil bath) were used in different solvents for the synthesis of 1-
amidoalkyl-2-naphthol derivatives with moderate to excellent yield. Among the four methods, microwave
irradiation and oil bath heating provide high yield as compared to the hot plate heating and stirring
method. The low yield may be due to the formation of undesired side-products due to non-uniform
heating.
