SELF-EFFICACY DALAM PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA SISWA MADRASAH ALIYAH
Authors: Ulpah Maria
Published: September 2019

Self-efficacy of students plays a role in determining student success in learning, including learning mathematics. Affective aspects such as self-efficacy, play a major role when students work and use mathematics, because to be able to solve mathematical problems is not enough just to know how to do it, but must be accompanied by self-efficacy about the truth of the concepts and procedures they have. This research was conducted in two groups of students using an instrument in the form of a questionnaire to measure students' self-efficacy. Observation data collection techniques were also conducted to determine the learning process of the two groups. The results showed that groups of students who used active and cooperative learning had higher self-efficacy.

Keywords: self-efficacy, mathematics, cooperative learning.
ISTINBATH HUKUM MAHAR NON MATERI (JASA) PERSPEKTIF IMAM ABU HANIFAH DAN IMAM SYAFI’I.
Authors: Hadi Nur
Published: September 2019

The research aims to find out the opinion of Imam Abu Hanifah and Imam Syafi'i and the similarities and also differences in determining the Non Material Dowry Law (services). This type of research is literature. The primary data sources are the books of the two priests, as well as the source of the secondary books of fiqh and books relating to research. The data was analyzed using descriptive, deductive, inductive, and comparative methods. The result: Disagreements between the two Imam madzhab were due to differences in law enforcement. Imam Hanafi in determining the status of Non Material Dowry Law (services) uses the surah al-Nisa '24, al-Baihaqi hadith and he put forward qiyas, that is limiting the dowry to at least ten dirhams, and dowry in the form of Qur'anic teaching to candidates of wife is unauthorized. Imam Syafi'i using the surah al-Nisa '24 and al-Bukhari's hadith, which does not limit the lowest dowry, such as sewing clothes or teaching Al-Quran to his wife and any benefits that are owned and lawful in price and having the value of simplicity at the dowry is preferred, he looked at the sunnah, that it is not excessive if it is legitimately used as a dowry, looking at zhahir verses and hadith.

DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION OF CENTRAL ORGANS OF BREAM (ABRAMIS BRAMA (L.)) LARVAE HEMATOPOIESIS
Authors: Svetasheva Diana Rafailevna , Grushko Maria Pavlovna , Nguyen Thi Hong Van
Published: September 2019

The article dwells upon physiological and morphological studies of fish carried out on a large scale, due to the need to control their reproduction and assess the impact of living conditions on the body of fish. Currently, a large amount of data on hematopoietic organs and the formation of blood cells in fish have been accumulated, but the facts are quite contradictory. At the same time, the state of the hematopoietic system can be justified only according to histogenesis of hematopoietic organs. From the results of examining reticular intercanal tissue of the head kidney (pronephros) of bream, a typical representative of bony fish, it can be inferred that pronephros is one of the main hemopoietic organs, in which the process of developing red blood cells and leukocytes takes place, with the majority of cells accounted for blood cells of erythropoietic series. Pronephros loses its excretory function in the early stages of ontogenesis. Throughout its development pronephros is presented as a dense formation, in the intercanal tissue of which there is reticular tissue with numerous hematopoietic elements. Active hematopoiesis occurs in mesonephros (trunk kidney) of bream larvae. The study of the morphophysiology of mesonephros in ontogenesis showed that this organ forms blood elements of all series, with more than half of the hematopoietic elements accounted for erythropoietic cells. The excretory function of the trunk kidney is maintained throughout the whole period of the organ developing. Thus, mesonephros of bream is also one of the main organs of hematopoiesis represented by a paired organ which stretches along the spine.
SPATIAL-TEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF BOTTOM COMMUNITIES OF THE VOLGUSHA RIVER
Authors: Ivanova Alina Igorevna , Kuznetsova Natalia Vladimirovna
Published: September 2019

The article highlights the problem of using information on the environmental conditions of water bodies for planning and conducting conservation measures. To understand the processes occurring in aquatic ecosystems, a promising direction appears the study of the composition, structure and spatial-temporal organization of zoobenthos, which is a sensitive indicator of contamination of water bodies with biogenic and toxic substances. There has been carried out the study of the main characteristics of zoobenthic communities of the Volgusha - one of the small rivers of the Moscow region, which flows on the territory of the state natural reserve of regional significance “Volgusha Valley and Paramonovsky Ravine” in the Dmitrov district of the Moscow region. There have been presented the results of a hydrobiological research of the Volgusha River carried out in the open water period in 2017-2018. A physiographic description of the Volgusha basin has been given. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the Volgusha bentofauna has been studied. There were revealed 60 species of zoobenthos belonging to 34 families, 14 orders, 5 classes, 3 types. The most widely there was represented Class Insecta numbering 42 species. There were found nine species of molluscs, four species of leeches, five species of oligochaetas. There have been singled out four groups associated to the substrate in the composition of zoobenthos: featurefile, litereally, pagefile and psammodiini. The spatial heterogeneity of hydrological and hydrochemical conditions throughout the Volgusha River caused by the terrain determines structural differences of zoobenthos, its composition and quantitative development, that is why it can serve as an indicator of water quality in different sectors of the river. There have been revealed evident seasonal changes in the composition of zoobenthos of the Volgusha River during the year and marked out zones of maximal anthropogenic interference.
SAPROBIOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF URBAN WATERCOURCES (THE KUTUM AND THE TSAREV RIVERS) IN ASTRAKHAN

Published: September 2019

Today, biological indication methods are recognized as highly effective, since they allow to directly assess the state of the ecosystem and its individual components. Even casual examining of hydrobionts can provide fast and reliable information on water quality. The rivers Kutum and Tsarev located on the territory of the city of Astrakhan were selected as objects of research. Samples of zooplankton collected in the fall of 2016 and 2017 served as research material. Organisms belonging to different zones of saprobity were selected as an indicator group. Calculations of weighted average saprobity were made. Both reservoirs under study have been found to belong to beta-mesosaprobic zone. At station 1 of the Kutum River and at station 1 of the Tsarev River there were registered equal values of the indicator of weighted average saprobity that correspond to oligosaprobic and beta-mesosaprobic zones. This may be explained by the change of community and by the fact that the identified organisms at these stations had a very wide tolerance to polluting factors. At station 2 of the Kutum River in 2016 and 2017 there was stated the predominance and increase in the number of bioindicators of the oligosaprobic zone, while at the other stations the organisms gravitating towards beta-mesosaprobic zone did not seriously change their indicators. As it can be inferred from the results of the saprobiological analysis of the urban watercources (the Kutum River and the Tsarev River), they are undergoing an active process of self-purification, culminating in mineralization of water (beta-mesosaprobic zone) with transition to oligosaprobic zone (almost pure water). However, the presence of indicator organisms and their predominance in plankton samples give grounds to regard the studied water bodies as moderately polluted. That is why it is recommended to lower the recreational load on the urban water bodies by reducing wastewaters discharge from the urban storm sewage system.

Published: September 2019

The paper describes the experiments on evaluating the effect of complex additive based on shellfish flour on the physiological state of sturgeon fingerlings, which were conducted in the laboratories of Astrakhan State Technical University. Feeding was conducted with starting and productive feedstuff, according to branch standard recipes. As crab flour contains a large amount of protein, 10% fish flour was substituted for the complex additive. The experiments were conducted in reservoirs with temperature control. Evaluation of the cultivation results showed that in the pilot group the mass of Russian sturgeon fingerlings was higher than in the control group, using preventive additives that contributed to the correct growth of skeleton. In the pilot group the number of species with symptoms of scoliotic illness was lower, while in the control group this figure was relatively high. Evaluation of physiological state revealed the positive effect of complex additive on the blood characteristics of reared fingerlings of Russian sturgeon. It should be pointed out that in general physiological parameters of fish were within normal standards, however in the control variant there were signs of anemia, hemoglobin was registered at the lower range limit. Whereas for the fish fed with preventive feedstuff this factor was slightly increased. Biochemical analysis revealed higher concentration of protein in fish grown on feedstuff with complex additive. There was recorded a different amount of fat in the flesh of Russian surgeon fingerlings: in the species fed with preventive additive it was 14.1, while in the species of the control variant it was relatively higher - 16.7. The liver of fish who received food with complex additives was morphologically consistent with the norm and had a homogeneous granular consistency, with no signs of fat accumulation in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. The liver of fish in the control group had a loose consistency and mosaic color, with distinct fatty dystrophy. Thus, the biologically active food additive has had a positive impact on the growth and evolution of Russian sturgeon fingerlings.

The Development of the Range of Garments in the USSR during the 1957–1965 Economic Reform (a Case of Krasnodar Territory)
Authors:   Krasnodar State Institute of Culture, Gangur Dmitry Ivanovich
Published: September 2019

Based on archives, the author discussed the creation of a range of products in the USSR garment industry in 1957–1965. The research described the planning mechanism in this regard and the activities of garment factories, trading and design organizations. The author concluded that there had been a system for developing a range of large-scale garments at special regional meetings attended by representatives of trade, industry, and design organizations. At the same time, the full satisfaction of consumer demand was hampered by organizational, economic, logistical obstacles and problematic inter-departmental interaction. Despite the measures taken by Soviet leadership, these problems could not be solved promptly for a number of reasons, primarily because of the restrictions of the planned system. However, the foundation was laid for further improvement of the situation, the saturation of the domestic market with inexpensive mass-produced clothes, and the expansion of their range.

Authors: Skvortsov Maksim Nikolaevich ,   Far Eastern Institut of Management – branch of Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration
Published: September 2019

Based on statistical data, the author shows the negative demographic trends typical of the Russian Far East in the post-Soviet period (since the early 1990s). The main reasons for the depopulation in the Far East region are identified: the social and economic crisis and the state’s rejection of protectionist policy towards the region. At the same time, a brief historiographical review of the research topic is provided. Then the social protection measures taken by the state in the 1990s are characterized as insufficient to overcome the demographic crisis that has arisen in the Far East. The study analyzes the main state economic and demographic policies towards the Far East region in the 2000s and 2010s and sums up the interim results of the implementation of the main conceptual and policy documents in this regard. The author concludes that it is necessary to combine the economic and social measures that are designed to ensure the preservation and development of the demographic potential of the Russian Far East.

National Socialism in Germany: Specific of the Museum Presentation
Authors: Cherkaeva Olga Evgenyevna ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: September 2019

The period of national socialism in Germany is well-represented in the German Museum space, along with the theme of the First World War and the division of the country into Western and Eastern zones. It has been focused in attention since the late 1950s, when the first concentration camps were museumified. A new phase of the interpretation of this theme was initiated by the public interest in the 1980s. It is presented in the form of exhibitions at the specific locations, where the lea-ders of the National Socialist Party worked. In the 1990s, the first museums with stationary expositions were created in such places. The number of these museums increased in the XXI century. The specific traits, on the one hand, consist in the location of new museums in historical places, and on the other hand it is the fact that the exhibition is built on the document basis. Two of these important aspects are clearly portrayed in the naming of the new group of museums as documentation centers. The article deals with German significant museums in Obersalzberg, Nuremberg, Berlin and Munich.

Published: September 2019

This study offers the first report on variation sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome b (MTCYTB) gene in populations from Bosnia (northeastern Bosnia). This study was designed on the analysis of the genetic diversity of two populations of different cultural-anthropological and genetic origin, Roma population and native/non-Roma population. The main aim of our study was to estimate the usefulness of the CYTB sequence in the analysis of genetic categorization of different populations and intergroup diversity, as well as to provide some additional information on haplogroup-associated polymorphisms within the CYTB region in defining haplogroup status. Estimation of the genetic diversity was done using intra and intergroup genetic indices. The population-specific polymorphisms have been found in both categories of the populations. The results of the analysis of genetic differentiation show significant pairwise Fst differences between the Romani and native populations. Also, registered significant genetic differentiation is illustrated on the level of genetic variation between subpopulations of the Roma and non-Roma origin. The important result in our study is the confirmation of the significance of the triad of polymorphisms T14783C-G15043A-G15301A, indicating the influence of Asian component of the maternal gene pool on the genetic structure of the studied population of the Roma. Our data show that the haplogroup polymorphisms exist in the CYTB region and can provide useful information on the haplogroups that were defined only by the control region of the mtDNA. The results of this study indicate the region of CYTB gene can be a benefit in providing some additional information in the analysis of genetic structure of human populations and can be additionally applied in population studies.
Impact of Internal Migration on Population Redistribution in Slovenia
Authors: Drobne Samo , Drešček Urška
Published: September 2019

Background: In most countries, data on migration refer only to flows between administratively or statistically defined zones that are changing over time. When different numbers, sizes, and shapes of areas are chosen for analysis of internal migration, different results are generated. This problem is recognised as the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP).

Objectives: The paper analyses the impact of inter-municipal migration on population redistribution in Slovenia in 2000–2014 by considering the MAUP. Namely, the number of analysed municipalities increased by 19 in the considered period.

Methods/Approach: We analysed the MAUP effects and estimated internal migration statistics by producing a large number of aggregations using the IMAGE Studio software.

Results: Several statistics that measure the direction and pace of population concentration, as well as the correlation between measures of migration intensity and national development, have been calculated.

Conclusions: The results for Slovenia show that the migration efficiency decreases with the development process measured by the human development index.

For clients allows to invest their savings according the risk, complexity and potential return they pretend be exposed. Financial products can be divided into four groups: deposits, investment funds, securities, and insurance banking. The six largest banks with Portuguese headquarters were identified based on an analysis of net asset value, and the products offered were analyzed. It was found that on an overall basis, the offerings of financial products available in banks are rather diverse and, at the same time, uniform. It was also noted that investment decisions are dependent on investors and that there are financial innovations that attract differentiated savings.
Phenotypic diversity and potential virulence factors of the Shewanella putrefaciens group isolated from freshwater fish
Authors: Paździor Ewa , Pękala-Safińska Agnieszka , Wasyl Dariusz
Published: September 2019

Introduction

The Shewanella putrefaciens group are ubiquitous microorganisms recently isolated from different freshwater fish species and causing serious health disorders. The purpose of the study was to characterise isolates of the S. putrefaciens group with special emphasis on elucidating serological diversity and determining putative virulence factors.

Material and Methods

Isolates collected from freshwater fish (n = 44) and reference strains were used. The identification of bacteria was carried out using biochemical kits and 16S rRNA sequencing. Polyclonal antibodies were prepared against the S. putrefaciens group. The bacterium’s susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, its enzymatic properties, and its adhesion ability to fish cell lines were also tested. Finally, selected isolates were used in challenge experiments in common carp and rainbow trout.

Results

Excluding six isolates undeterminable for species, the bacteria were classified to three species: S. putrefaciens, S. xiamenensis, and S. oneidensis, and showed some phenotypic diversity. Fourteen serological variants of the S. putrefaciens group were determined with the newly developed serotyping scheme.

Conclusion

Serodiversity may play an important role in the virulence of particular isolates. Further, S. putrefaciens group members adhere to epithelial cells and produce enzymes which may contribute to their virulence. Challenge tests confirmed the pathogenicity of the S. putrefaciens group for fish.
African swine fever virus – persistence in different environmental conditions and the possibility of its indirect transmission
Authors: Mazur-Panasiuk Natalia , Żmudzki Jacek , Woźniakowski Grzegorz
Published: September 2019

Since 2007, African swine fever (ASF) has posed a serious threat to the European swine industry. In Poland, the numbers of reported outbreaks in pigs and affected areas grow every year. In 2018, the disease was noted in Western Europe, in Belgium specifically, where several hundred infected wild boars have been detected so far. In 2018, the virus unexpectedly emerged in pig holdings in eastern China, northern Mongolia, Vietnam, and Cambodia, causing worldwide concern about its further spread. Since there is still no vaccine available, the only approach to control the disease is biosecurity. Identification of potential sources of the virus is extremely important in light of its phenomenal survivability. The review summarises the current knowledge about ASFV survivability and resistance to environmental conditions, and discusses the role of indirect contact in spreading the disease.

Published: September 2019

This article aims to discuss the issue of Minangkabau local wisdom manifested in Galombang dance activities in the context of the target style. The existence of pencak silat targets is very meaningful for Minangkabau men because the target is not only a means of physical endurance training but also a basis for cultural education for Minangkabau people. Thus, the problem that will be expressed in this article is about the importance of the target for men in Minangkabau as a means of educating local wisdom, by expressing the implementation of local wisdom values through the target-style Galombang dance, and also explaining the extent to which values of the local wisdom is manifested in today’s Galombang dance performances. Sasaran and Galombang dance are two things that are interconnected in building the values of local wisdom in Minangkabau. This cultural activity has been started since the past when the royal system ruled in Minangkabau. In turn, the target as a forum for cultural education that contains local wisdom values becomes the place to produce Galombang dance, so that the values of local wisdom are manifested in the target-style Galombang dance.Keywords: local wisdom values; Sasaran; Sasaran Style of Galombang dance

Pharmacists’ Knowledge, Perceptions, and Practices Regarding Herbal Medicine
Authors: Santanello Catherine , Carr Ashlyn
Published: September 2019

Introduction: With the increase of herbal medicine sales and a lack of reliable information available to consumers, it is important for pharmacists to be knowledgeable about these products and have the ability to effectively counsel on their uses and risks. The purpose of this study was to: 1) assess community pharmacists’ knowledge, perceptions, and practices regarding herbal medicines, 2) understand the impact pharmacists may have on their patients’ herbal medicine use, and 3) gauge what practices could be improved.

Methods: An anonymous survey was distributed to community pharmacists through email, social media, and in-person at local pharmacies. The survey consisted of general background questions, questions assessing perceptions and practices regarding herbal medicine, and a ten-question true/false quiz to assess knowledge. Survey data was collected and assessed using Qualtrics and Excel.

Results: Of the 127 community pharmacists who completed the survey, only 34% were confident in their ability to effectively counsel patients on herbal medicines. Approximately 50% of pharmacists reported never or rarely asking patients about herbal medicine use and 80% reported never or rarely documenting herbal medicine use. Only 25% of pharmacists reported that they always discuss side effects and 19% reported that they always discuss herb-drug interactions when patients are using herbal medicines. The average quiz score assessing knowledge of herbal medicines was 6.06 out of 10.

Conclusions: It is important for community pharmacists to be knowledgeable about herbal medicines and prepared to educate patients to ensure safe medication use. Pharmacists need to acknowledge the use of herbal medicine in their patients and always discuss potential side effects and herb-drug interactions. It is also important that pharmacists know where they can find reliable information on herbal medicines and use evidence-based resources when possible.

Introduction: High blood pressure (HBP) is the main cardiovascular risk factor, it is more prevalent in the older adult population, and the prevalence can vary between ethnic groups.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of HBP, knowledge, treatment and control in population aged ≥60 years, resident in Colombia, according to their ethnic condition.
Methods: Population sample selected by multistage sampling. Ethnicity was defined based on skin color. HBP was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140, and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg, and/or the participants’ self-report. Controlled HBP at a blood pressure value <140/90, knowledge and treatment were identified by self-report.
Results: 23,694 adults aged ≥ 60 years were included, of which 54.5%, 34.5% and 10.9% were respectively identified as having light, medium or dark skin color; 54.5% were women, and 78.1% resided in urban areas. The standardized prevalence of HBP, by age, was 57.7% (95% CI: 55.2 - 60.2); 51.4% (95% CI: 47.3-55. 5), in men; and 62.9% (60.964.9), in women. The standardized prevalence for light, medium and dark skin in men was 53.2% (95% CI: 48.7-57.7), 49.6% (44.5-54.7), and 49.4% (95% CI: 41.0-57.8) respectively; and in women was 62.5% (95% CI: 60.5-64 , 5), 61.7% (95% CI: 57.865.6), and 69.9% (95% CI: 63.6-76.2) respectively. 98% of the population received treatment, and 93.9% were aware of HBP diagnosis. 42.5% of men and 55.5% of women with HBP were under control. Only 21.8% performed regular physical activity.
Conclusion: Half of the adult population aged over 60 years suffers from HBP; the prevalence is higher in women particularly in dark-skinned women. It is necessary to develop policies to increase physical activity in the elderly.
OUTDOOR THERMAL PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF SEVERAL GLAZING TYPES
Authors: Madina Rizki Fitria
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACTRecently, urban air temperature has been increasing, which can be attributed to the vast development, land cover changes, urban geometry, and surface material. Several strategies can be applied to mitigate the urban heat island intensity, one of which is the use of a cool and reflective material to avoid solar heat gain. In this study, we simulate a simplified model of the Asia-Afrika region in Bandung and conduct a comparative analysis to determine the thermal performance of glass in the outdoor thermal environment. The study results demonstrate that the shading coefficient value of glass has a negative correlation with the outdoor air temperature.Keywords: glass; shading coefficient; outdoor thermal environment

ABSTRACTPeople in Ngadas Village have enough time to live in their fields. Therefore, the community build farmhouses to help farming activities. However, as an agricultural landscape, cultivation in Ngadas Village has various dynamics. Changes that occur in the agricultural landscape can be traced through agricultural features formed by the type of agricultural land use. In addition, it can be traced through cultural features that are the result of interactions between human activities and the environment such as farmhouses. Therefore, this study aims to find out the implications of agricultural features on cultural features, especially space in farmhouses. The in-depth interview and observation methods were conducted to identify, then the data obtained were analysed by synchronous and diachronic methods. So, the changes that occur can be determined descriptively. The results of the study show that the culture of shifting cultivation that has become permanent causes the fields to develop along with the changes in the plants that have been planted, the addition of activities and intensity of plant management. More fixed location of the farm more developed and permanent farmhouses has been built. More activities carried out in the fields and the higher intensity of plant management, the wider and more space needed for the fields.Keywords: Agrarian culture, Agricultural landscape, Farmhouses
Systemic Artery-to-Pulmonary Artery Fistula Mimics Pulmonary Embolus

Published: September 2019

Systemic artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula (SA-PAF) is a rare phenomenon that can resemble a filling defect on computed tomography angiography (CTA). SA-PAF can be due to congenital or acquired etiologies and can alter the hemodynamics of the pulmonary circulation, with the most serious reported complication being hemoptysis, requiring embolization. We describe a case of an unusual SA-PAF between the right inferior phrenic artery and the right lower lobe pulmonary artery that mimicked an unprovoked pulmonary embolus (PE) on standard CTA in a patient with cardiomyopathy. This SA-PAF was interpreted on CTA as PE due to the presence of a filling defect, revealing that not all filling defects are PE. SA-PAF should always be considered when the clinical context or the imaging findings are atypical, specifically with an isolated filling defect visualized in the inferior lower lobe pulmonary artery. The false-positive PE was the result of mixing of systemic non-opacified blood with opacified pulmonary arterial blood.

The mechanochemical approach has been used here for preparation and polymorph resolution in porphyrinic MOF-525/PCN-223 zirconium metal-organic frameworks system, achieving pure target MOF phases in 30-60 minutes milling. In specific reaction condition, MOF-525 forms rapidly by milling but transforms into PCN-223, confirming it to be the kinetic phase in this polymorphic system. ESR measurements showed a strong effect of internal MOF structure on the spin structure of paramagnetic cations coordinated into porphyrin linkers, which show potential for these polymorphic MOFs in spintronics application.

Ultrahigh lattice thermal conductivity materials hold great importance since they play a critical role in the thermal management of electronic and optical devices. Models using machine learning can search for materials with outstanding higher-order properties like thermal conductivity. However, the lack of sufficient data to train a model is a serious hurdle. Herein we show that big data can complement small data for accurate predictions when lower-order feature properties available in big data are selected properly and applied to transfer learning. The connection between the crystal information and thermal conductivity is directly built with a neural network by transferring descriptors acquired through a pre-trained model for the feature property. Successful transfer learning shows the ability of extrapolative prediction and reveals descriptors for lattice anharmonicity. Transfer learning is employed to screen over 60000 compounds to identify novel crystals that can serve as alternatives to diamond. Even though most materials in the top list are superhard materials, we reveal that superhard property do not necessarily lead to high lattice thermal conductivity. Large hardness means high elastic constants and group velocity of phonons in the linear dispersion regime, but the lattice thermal conductivity is determined also by other important factor such as the phonon relaxation time. What’s more, the average or maximum dipole polarizability and the van der Waals radius are revealed to be the leading descriptors among those that can also be qualitatively related to anharmonicity.

Design and implementation of the first (asymmetric) Fe-catalyzed intra- and intermolecular difunctionalization of vinyl cyclopropanes (VCPs) with alkyl halides and aryl Grignard reagents has been realized via a mechanistically driven approach. Mechanistic studies support the diffusion of the alkyl radical intermediates out of the solvent cage to participate in an intra- or -intermolecular radical cascade with the VCP followed by re-entering the Fe radical cross-coupling cycle to undergo selective C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond formation. Overall, we provide new design principles for Fe-mediated radical processes and underscore the potential of using combined computations and experiments to accelerate the development of challenging transformations.

Authors: Ding Shengtao
Published: September 2019

One facile and efficient strategy for the hydrosilylation of steric 1,1-disubstituted terminal alkenes is demonstrated. Investigations on substrate scope and control experiments revealed the necessity of thioether in promoting this process under a simple iridium catalysis system. This convenient and feasible method is expected to be useful in the synthesis of sulfur-containing organosilicon polymers with different side-chains.
