Published: December 2023

Reading comprehension is a complex learning and teaching process, and a technique can be adapted to minimize complexity and reinforce reading comprehension. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate whether mind mapping reinforces reading comprehension and investigate the learners’ perceptions towards mind mapping after the implementation for G.C.E. A/L ESL learners. The researcher focused on two research questions: finding the impact of using mind mapping to reinforce reading comprehension for G. C. E. A/L ESL learners and learners’ perceptions after implementing the technique. This study utilized a mixed-method experimental research design done at Sri Saranankara Sangaraja Maha Vidyalaya, Kurunegala with the sample of 40 students of B1-level.The researcher incorporated two main instruments: tests, including pre-test and post-test, to address the first research question quantitatively and a feedback form to address the second qualitatively. Further, SPSS was used to analyze the quantitative data, while thematic analysis analyzed the qualitative data. Findings revealed a statistically significant difference between scores of the experimental and control groups recorded as p-value 0.000<0.05, which was favored by the experimental group exposed to the mind mapping technique. Moreover, the findings indicated that learners perceived positive perceptions towards the mind-mapping technique to reinforce reading comprehension

Earthquakes, sustainable settlements and traditional construction techniques
Authors: Koca Gülru
Published: December 2023

Urbanization is increasing all around the world due to population growth and big cities receive a high volume of migrants due to economic and social reasons. However, rapid population growth should be prevented in big cities in order to provide comfortable living conditions to the population. When urban planning practices do not catch the speed of urbanization; the tendency towards vertical architecture increases, the amount of green space decreases and problems related to unplanned urbanization come to the fore. These important problems, which have considerably increased recently in Türkiye, may lead greater problems in many respects. The parallel and self-sufficient development of urban and rural areas, which is defined as urban sustainability, is considered as the best-case scenario in urban planning practices. This aim is adopted nowadays by most of the countries in the world as it prevents rapid population growth in cities and depopulation in rural areas. Decisions which are taken to ensure urban sustainability are important for all countries. However, these decisions become even more important in regions with disaster risk. As the majority of Türkiye’s land area is under seismic risk, the problems which may arise due to rapid urbanization during an earthquake should be prevented. The damage and losses which could occur during an earthquake and the security, health, education problems which will arise after the earthquake can be solved by preventing dense housing and uncontrolled migration in urban areas. The connection between urban and rural areas should be strengthened. Besides, the social and economic sustainability of the rural area should be ensured. Settlements should be designed away from fault lines with a holistic approach as “living spaces” which consist components such as; transportation, infrastructure, green spaces and educational spaces. Additionally; the use of appropriate construction techniques and materials should be accepted as a priority. In this context, it can be mentioned that traditional building techniques, which have been developed over centuries and whose deficiencies have been improved during this period, should be preferred especially in rural areas. In this study, the criteria that gain importance in the construction of earthquake resistant and sustainable settlements are evaluated on Türkiye case. The precautions which should be taken to ensure rural sustainability and to prevent the depopulation of rural areas are emphasized. Within this scope, the importance of protecting the architectural texture and regenerating traditional building culture was discussed in constructing earthquake resistant settlements.

Published: December 2023

O mercado das cervejas artesanais tem se destacado no cenário econômico nacional e internacional. Desse modo, tem-se aumentado exponencialmente a busca por novidades e inovação, despertando a curiosidade de muitos apreciadores e especialistas da área. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a influência sensorial relacionada às alterações na proporção entre os íons sulfato e cloreto presentes na água de produção da cerveja artesanal. Para tanto, produziu-se três amostras de uma cerveja do estilo alemão Kölsch, de perfil neutro, com relações distintas entre esses íons. Assim, por meio de testes de análise sensorial, verificou-se a influência dos referidos íons no produto final, além seu índice de aceitabilidade. O resultado dessa investigação mostrou que houve uma diferença considerável entre as percepções sensoriais de amargor e dulçor do malte relacionados à concentração das espécies iônicas em destaque, demonstrando que tais modificações podem contribuir satisfatoriamente na qualidade e no índice de aceitação do produto. Entretanto, essas correlações devem ser planejadas de acordo com o estilo de cerveja a ser produzido.

Published: December 2023

O corpo caloso é um dos principais e maiores feixes de fibras de associação inter-hemisféricas do telencéfalo. Sua agenesia é uma malformação congênita com prevalência de 1 a 3 a cada 1000 nascidos vivos. A agensia completa do corpo pode ocasionar alterações substanciais na função do sistema nervoso. Pode ser diagnosticada a agenesia do corpo caloso de forma forma isolada, porém, pode estar associada a outras síndromes ou anomalias presentes. Exames como a ressonância magnética e a ultrassonografia fetais são utilizadas para o diagnóstico dessa alteração. Ambos os métodos apresentam pontos positivos e limitações. O objetivo do trabalho foi realizar uma comparação entre os métodos de ressonância magnética e ultrassonografia fetal para o diagnóstico de agenesia do corpo caloso. A ultrassonografia e a ressonância magnética apresentam sensibilidade para identificar a agenesia do corpo caloso durante os exames de pré-natal. Apesar da ultrassonografia apresentar uma facilidade, baixo-custo e do exame ser em tempo real o exame de ressonância magnética apresenta maior sensibilidade e pode caracterizar alterações no corpo caloso de forma mais precisa, contudo não pode ser realizada no primeiro trimestre como a ultrassonografia. Apesar dos métodos de imagem apresentarem limitações e diferenciais,  estudo demonstram que o diagnóstico de agensia do corpo caloso pode ser realizado por meio da ultrassonografia e ressonância magnética.
Avaliação da aprendizagem

Published: December 2023

Dentro do processo educativo, um dos principais fenômenos que ocorrem e que vêm ganhando cada vez mais destaque é a avaliação da aprendizagem. Cada autor pode descrever a avaliação de uma determinada maneira, sendo incontestável a sua relevância para os processos de ensino e de aprendizagem. Muito se fala sobre as concepções que os professores possuem sobre a avaliação, ainda que determinados dados mostrem que há uma discrepância entre as suas falas e as suas práticas. Dessa forma, considerando a extrema importância que a avaliação possui para o ambiente pedagógico, o projeto que originou este trabalho teve como principal objetivo identificar as práticas e instrumentos avaliativos utilizados pelos professores e relacioná-los às suas vivências e compreensões. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os seis professores que atuam no Ensino Fundamental, cuja investigação do material foi realizada a partir da Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD). Deste processo, emergiram oito categorias finais, sendo selecionadas, neste artigo, apenas duas delas para desenvolver e apresentar seus resultados. A partir da fundamentação teórica baseada em Luckesi, Hoffman, Perrenoud, Sanmartí e Sant’anna, foi possível constatar que, apesar de conhecerem as potencialidades para regular a própria prática pedagógica, os professores tentam lidar com a aversão que os alunos possuem sobre a avaliação, que pode ser fruto das próprias escolhas e atitudes dos docentes, aliada ao próprio sistema punitivo e classificatório vigente.

Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen in Vahiy Anlayışı (Kur ân-ı Kerim in Türkçe Meâli Âlisi ve Tefsiri Bağlamında)
Authors: BAYRAM Enver
Published: December 2023

Geçmişten bugüne müfessirler birçok tefsir eseri kaleme almıştır. Modern dönemde tefsir kaleme alanlardan biri de Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen’dir. Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen sadece tefsir alanında değil birçok alanda eser telif etmiş ve ilmî birikimini bu çalışmaları aracılığıyla aktarmıştır. Ancak onun Kur’ân ilimlerindeki ve tefsir ilmindeki yeri ayrıdır. O, tefsirinde birçok konuyu ele almış ve naklin yanında kendi görüşüne dayanarak âyetleri tefsir etmiştir. Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen’in detaylı bir şekilde ele aldığı konulardan biri de vahiydir. Vahiy, Allah ile insan arasında, hatta Allah ile diğer varlıklar arasında bir iletişim biçimidir. Allah emir ve yasaklarını varlıklara vahiyle bildirmiştir. Konu üzerinde önemle duran Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen, söz konusu âyetlerin tefsirinde meseleyi geniş bir şekilde ele almıştır. Bu minvalde o; vahyin tanımı, vahyin mahiyeti ve vahyin geliş şekilleri üzerinde durmuştur. Bunun yanında vahiy-mucize, vahiy-gayb ilişkisine temas etmiştir. Ayrıca vahyi, Allah’ın varlığına ve kudretine delil saymıştır. Çalışmamızda Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen’in vahiy anlayışı söz konusu âyetler bağlamında ele alınıp incelenmiştir.
Vahiy-Muhatap İlişkisinde Kur an da Referans Gösterilen Ortak Yönler
Authors: Oruç Ayşe Betül , Sayğın Sümeyye
Published: December 2023

Vahiy, Yüce Allah’ın değişmez hakikatleri beyan etmek üzere insanlarla kurduğu bir iletişim olarak tanımlanabilir. İletişimde, verilen mesajların muhataplarca doğru anlaşılabilmesi için onların zihin yapıları, yaşayış biçimleri, tarihi ve kültürel arka planları göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Muhatabını dikkate almayan bir hitap onu etkileme ve zihin dünyasında değişikler yapma konusunda başarılı olamaz. Bu nedenle Yüce Allah, tarih boyunca insanlar arasından özel olarak seçtiği elçiler vasıtasıyla vahyi insanlara iletmiştir. Vahyin iletilmesi sırasında, insanların sahip oldukları nitelikleri ve içinde yaşadıkları toplumun ortak vasıfları, problemleri ve tarih, kültür gibi unsurları dikkate alınmıştır. Kur’an’da gerek geçmiş peygamberler ve kavimlerine dair anlatılarda gerekse Kur’an’ın ilk muhatabı Arap toplumunun tarihi bilgisine hitap eden, kültürel beğenilerine ve ortak sorunlarına değinen muhtevada muhatapların ortak yönlerinin öne çıkarıldığı görülmektedir. Kur’an ayetlerinde dikkat çeken bu durumun vahiy-muhatap ilişkisi bağlamında ele alınmasının gerekli olduğu açıktır. İslâmî ilimler alanında sözü edilen bu gayeye hizmet etmeyi amaçlayan bu çalışmada Kur’an ayetleri çerçevesinde vahyin muhatabı ile kurduğu ilişkide öne çıkarılan ortak nitelikler konu edilmiştir. Vahiy-muhatap ilişkisinde Kur’an’ın referans gösterdiği ortak yönler; peygamberlerin muhataplarınca tanınması, dil birlikteliği, ortak tarihi tecrübe, ortak kültür ve ortak sorunlara vurgu olarak tespit edilmiştir.
Arap Modernist Düşüncenin Nasları Anlama Yöntemlerinin, Hükümlerde Sabit-Değişken Ayrımı Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Sudan Hüseyin , Megdady Manssour Mahmoud
Published: December 2023

İslam Hukukundaki hükümler tamamıyla değişmez değildir. Hükümlerde sabit ve değişken ayrımı olup bu ayrımın bazı kriterleri bulunmaktadır. Bu makalede, modernist düşüncenin Arap dünyasında (Mısır, Fas, Cezayir, Tunus) ilk temsilcileri olan Hasan Hanefi, Abid el-Câbirî, Muhammed Arkun ve Abdülmecid el-Şerefi gibi modernistlerin nasları anlama yöntemleri ele alınarak İslam hukukundaki hükümlerin sebat ve değişkenlik açısından tek tip olmadığı vurgulanmış ve bu bağlamda Arap modernistlerin yaklaşımları eleştirilmiştir. Nasların anlaşılmasına yönelik takip edilen modernist yöntem nasların işlevsiz hale getirilmesi sonucunu doğuracağı için konunun İslam hukukundaki sabit ve değişken hükümleri ayıran kriterler bağlamında ele alınması önem arz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda makalede şu sonuçlara ulaşmıştır: Arap modernistleri nasları anlamada iki temel prensibe dayanmışlardır. Bunlar, gerçeklik ve mevcut durumun nasları anlama konusunda tahkim edilmesi ve nasların tarihsel olduğu prensipleridir. Buna göre, modernistler sabit türden olsa bile, bütün fıkhi hükümlerin yeni ve çağdaş bir bakışla değiştirilmesi gerektiğini savunmaktadırlar. İslam hukukunda farklı durum ve koşullara göre değişebilecek bazı hükümler vardır ve bu tür hükümlerde tarihsel yaklaşım uygulanabilir. İslam Hukukunda esas konulara ilişkin hükümler ise sabit hükümlerdir ve kat’î kesin naslarda yer aldığından dolayı bu tür naslarda tarihsel yöntemi uygulamak doğru değildir.

Roma: Katolikliğin Başkenti
Authors: Renan Ernest , Kalıntürk Ömer Faruk
Published: December 2023

Ernest Renan, 1880 yılında Hibbert Enstitüsü'nde Hıristiyanlık ve Roma arasındaki ilişki üzerine bir dizi konferans vermek üzere Londra'ya davet edilmiştir. Bu tercüme edilmiş konferanstan ve serideki diğer konuşmalardan, bu konferansın 1870 yılında düzenlenen Birinci Vatikan Konsili'nden sonra Papa Pius IX tarafından ilan edilen papalığın yanılmazlığı doktrini ile ilgili olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Renan burada Roma'nın Kilise hiyerarşisindeki bugünkü prestijli konumuna yükselişinin ve düşüşünün bir tarihini vermektedir. Pagan dönemin ve Remus ve Romulus'un yerini Petrus ve Pavlus'un aldığı yeni dönemin bir manzarasını sunar. Roma Kilisesi'nin, Konstantin'in başkenti doğuya taşımasına kadar Hıristiyan topluluklar arasındaki saygınlığını koruduğunu belirtmektedir. Ayrıca Doğu ve Batı kiliseleri arasındaki bölünmenin de bizzat İmparator Konstantin tarafından gerçekleştirildiğini iddia etmektedir. Renan, Hibbert Enstitüsü'nde verdiği konferansların amacını Katolik Kilisesi'nin geçmişteki ihtişamının bir açıklaması olarak ifade etmektedir. Kilise tarafından yetiştirildiğini, çocukluğundan gelen bu derin bağların onu Katolikliğe bağladığını ve Kilise'yi terk etmesine rağmen ona olan umudunu kaybetmediğini itiraf eder. Bununla birlikte Renan, Katolikliğin insan aklının özgürlüğüne yönelik bir tehdit olduğunu, bu nedenle Katolik Kilisesi'ne ve din adamlarına karşı çıkmanın doğru ve gerekli olduğunu da belirtmektedir.

Authors:   RosNIISK ", Stepanchenko Denis ,   Rossorgo", Stepanchenko Victoria , Bochkareva Yulia , Semin Dmitry , Likhatskaya Svetlana
Published: December 2023

Recently, the cultivation of grain sorghum has become increasingly popular in modern agriculture. Grain sorghum is a valuable agricultural crop, the peculiarity of which is consistently high productivity even under conditions of abnormal drought, which is especially important in arid agriculture. Another feature of grain sorghum is its suitability for food use. The grain of this crop serves as a valuable raw material for gluten-free products. Currently, the area of cultivation of grain sorghum is actively expanding, which extends to countries in Africa, Asia, South and North America, Europe and Australia. It should be noted that grain sorghum responds well to the use of agrotechnical techniques, including fertilizer systems, both in organic and mineral forms, as well as to the use of pre-sowing, leaf treatments with various humic, chelate and growth-regulating preparations. However, the effect of chelated micronutrients in the pre-sowing treatment of grain sorghum seeds has not been studied widely enough. This circumstance was the reason for the research. The article notes the significant effect of chelated preparations on the germination energy and germination of seeds of grain sorghum varieties. A tendency to increase the degree of grain swelling, as well as the length of primary roots and primary seedlings, was revealed when using preparations in chelated form.

Effectiveness of biological products in sugar cultivation corn
Authors:   Don State Agrarian University, Bugrey Inna
Published: December 2023

In our country, vegetable sweet corn is grown mainly in the Krasnodar and Stavropol territories and the Rostov region; it is also cultivated in the Black Earth Region and in more northern regions, but in smaller volumes. Sweet corn is a relatively young subspecies that arose as a mutant between dentifrice and flint corn. Due to its biochemical characteristics, it is a very susceptible crop and is more damaged by pests and diseases compared to the usual one. A further increase in corn grain production is unthinkable without the widespread and comprehensive use of the latest scientific achievements, where the leading role undoubtedly belongs to new varieties and cultivation technologies. In the climatic conditions of the Rostov region, the biological characteristics of 4 hybrids of vegetable corn were studied: Early Golden F1, Sweet Nugget F1, Caramello F1 and Noa F1 and resource-saving technologies with the basics of biologization and greening of agriculture. Research has established that, on average, over the years of research, a high yield of cobs was obtained by the hybrids Caramello F1 - 14.42 t/ha and Noa F1 - 15.53 t/ha. Treatment of vegetative vegetable corn plants with biological preparations Albit and Rauactiv provided a significant increase in the yield of all studied hybrids.

Synthesis of coumarin-3-carboxylic acids in waste curd water: A green approach
Authors: Sonawane Nitin Bhaidas , Rajput Jamatsing Dabarsing , Patil Dilip Ramsing
Published: December 2023

An efficient and green protocol has been developed for the synthesis of derivatives of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid using waste curd water as a catalytic solvent. Curd water successfully catalyzes the reaction of 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes with dimethyl malonate under ultrasonic irradiation (40 °C) to construct different scaffolds of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid, with good to outstanding yields. The use of biodegradable solvents, sustainability, low reaction duration, mild reaction conditions without metals and Lewis acids, excellent yields, and compatibility with a wide range of electronically diverse substrates are all advantages of this synthesis process. Acidic curd water, which acts as a biological catalyst as well as a solvent for the reaction under ultrasonic irradiation, may be a better green alternative to some standard methods for synthesizing coumarin-3-carboxylic acids.

‘Alea iacta est', the die is cast, said the Roman general Gaius Julius Caesar the moment he and his troops crossed the Rubicon River. This phrase refers to a state where everything has already been decided and this decision cannot be taken back. It is at this borderline that humanity now finds itself; its survival is at stake. The basic biogenic components of the environment, such as water, air, and soil, are coming under the pressure of the modern industrial revolution. The products of this anthropogenic activity significantly affect the environment. We live in a time of rapid climate change, melting of glaciers, devastation of nature, mass extermination, or loss of animal and plant species in order to increase human living standards. Man has caused all this in one stage of human life, a generation. Humanity mismanages natural resources and clings to a lifestyle that is vain. It destroys the natural environment on which it is dependent simultaneously. An environmental disaster is coming. Will our blue planet still be livable for future generations? The study deals with one of the components of the environmental environment, not an insignificant one, that is, water. For the moment, recycled water is a neglected and underappreciated resource from the point of view of the Czech Republic and its state authorities. The cleaning process may be inadequate or unreliable, and residual biological and chemical contaminants may pose a risk to human health. This work focuses on the use of purified wastewater mainly for firefighting unit activities in relation to a possible health risk. The result of the study is a clear possible recommendation for the use of recycled wastewater from a technical, technological, and logistical point of view, but taking into account the precautionary principle.

In this study, native limestone from the Swat area of Pakistan was used for the synthesis of calcium propionate. The powdered limestone was allowed to react with propionic acid and the effect of the synthesis parameters, that is, the particle size (50, 100, 150, and 200 mesh), propionic acid (10, 15, and 30 %), solid-liquid ratio (0.1:10, 0.12:1, 0.14:1, and 0.16:1), reaction time (1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 hours) and the temperature (60, 80, 90, and 100 °C) on the percentage yield and purity of calcium propionate was studied. The results showed that the optimum synthesis parameters were 200 mesh particle size, 15% propionic acid concentration, 0.14:1 solid-liquid ratio, 2.5 hours reaction time, and 80 °C temperature. The product obtained under optimal conditions was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. The results revealed that a product having ≥ 99.8% purity with 85% yield can be obtained by this process.

Many distinct natural and pharmaceutical items include the well-known heterocyclic nucleus 1,3,4-thiadiazole. Ten Schiff bases of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives have been synthesized using equimolar amounts of 5-styryl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine and substituted acetophenones in the catalytic amount of ethanol. The synthesized derivatives of Schiff's bases were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The 1,3,4-thiadiazole Schiff’s bases (RM-1 to RM-10) were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus using the disc diffusion method. The 1,3,4-thiadiazole Schiff bases showed strong antibacterial activity against bacterial and fungal species, however, their activity was noticeably less effective than that of the evaluated conventional antibiotics.

Published: December 2023

The objective of this work is to determine the variation in the nutritional and quality characteristics of blueberries subjected to UV radiation. Blueberries of the variety (JEWEL) provided by Tierra de blueberries, Oran, Monteros, Tucuman were used. The parameters analyzed were variations of the color and content of polyphenols by HPLC and UV-vis. Polyphenols determined by HPLC were: delfinidin-3-galactoside, delfinidine-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-galactoside, delfinidin-3-arabinoside, cyanidin-3-glucoside, petunidin-3-galactoside, cyanidin-3-arabinoside, petunidin-3-glucoside, peonidin-3-galactoside, petunidin-3-arabinoside, malvidin-3-galactoside and malvidin-3-glucoside. From the results obtained, it is concluded that the polyphenol content varied in the irradiated fruits and in the untreated fruits as a function of time, with the values being closest to the initial time value (control) in the case of irradiated fruits. There were no appreciable differences in color change due to irradiation. At time 0, the color difference in the whole fruit between the treated sample (IFC0) and the standard (NFC0) gave ΔE* values equal to 2.06. After 3 days, the color difference was 3.08 for the natural sample and 6.06 for the treated sample. For this reason, it is considered that irradiation of blueberries is a very appropriate method for conservation, maintaining the nutritional and quality characteristics of blueberries.
In an attempt to add ligands to the sixth (axial) position of vanadyl bis-acetylacetonate: A unique tetranuclear vanadyl species
Authors: Lalancette Roger , Bernal Ivan
Published: December 2023

We have explored the interaction of [(acac)2V=O] (acac = acetylacetone) with a series of potential ligands which were chosen because of their expected ability to attach themselves onto its sixth (axial) position. Furthermore, some of the species chosen were expected to have the capability of linking pairs of [(acac)2V=O] molecules, thus creating magnetically coupled substances whose behavior would be interesting to document by magnetic as well as structural methods. Some of the synthetic results were surprising in that unexpected products were obtained which we had not envisioned; specifically, herein we describe a tetranuclear vanadyl cluster (Crystal data for C38H51N4O17ClV4: orthorhombic, space group Pca21 (no. 29), a = 26.4698(3) Å, b = 13.5167(2) Å, c = 12.7659(2) Å, V = 4567.44(11) Å3, Z = 4, μ(CuKα) = 7.842 mm-1, Dcalc = 1.53 g/cm3, 41277 reflections measured (6.538° ≤ 2Θ ≤ 137.892°), 7841 unique (Rint = 0.0428, Rsigma = 0.0421) which were used in all calculations; the final R1 was 0.0675 (I > 2σ(I)) and wR2 was 0.1641 (all data)), which is unusual in several aspects of its composition as well as its stereochemistry.

Published: December 2023

This work presents the synthesis of an unprecedented p-cresol-conjugated copper(II) complex as a p-cresol-coupled polydentate ligand, its crystal structure, and catecholase activity. X-ray crystallography reveals that the Cu(II) centre adopts a nearly planar coordination geometry. Crystal data for C14H13Cu0.5O3: Monoclinic, space group P21/c (no. 14), a = 5.9204(2) Å, b = 21.5615(10) Å, c = 9.0715(4) Å, β = 91.266(4)°, V = 1157.72(8) Å3, Z = 4, μ(MoKα) = 0.987 mm-1, Dcalc = 1.498 g/cm3, 12647 reflections measured (6.884° ≤ 2Θ ≤ 63.42°), 3233 unique (Rint = 0.0618, Rsigma = 0.0512) which were used in all calculations. The final R1 was 0.0710 (I > 2σ(I)) and wR2 was 0.2173 (all data). The crystallized p-cresol was localized in complex units through intermolecular O···H interactions and formed a 3D supramolecular framework employing short-ranged O···H and C-H···π interactions in the solid state. The copper(II) complex has been evaluated as a bioinspired catalyst in the oxidative transformation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (DTBC) to o-benzoquinone in acetonitrile with a high turnover number, 2.26´104 h–1. Electrochemical analysis of the copper(II) complex in the presence of DTBC recommends the generation of a catechol/o-benzosemiquinone redox couple during catalytic oxidation with the generation of hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct.

Published: December 2023

Since China put forward the "Belt and Road" Initiative in 2013, the investment exchanges between China and countries along the routes have become increasingly close, and gradually opened up a new pattern of global geo-economic trade. However, opportunities and challenges coexist. As the tax environment of countries along the "Belt and Road" is very different, Chinese enterprises face many tax risks in the process of OFDI. Based on the "Belt and Road" initiative, this paper studies the tax environment of the countries along the "Belt and Road". Through analyzing and discussing the tax risks of China's outward direct investment in the countries along the "Belt and Road", it proposes relevant countermeasures to resolve the tax risks. It is hoped that through the joint efforts of the government and enterprises, the tax risks of OFDI can be effectively avoided and a good investment environment can be created, thus promote high-quality development along the Belt and Road. So this paper has both theoretical and practical significance.
