Johann Sebastian Bach im Urteil Moritz Hauptmanns
Authors: Schulze Hans-Joachim 
Published: September 2021

Befaßt man sich mit der Ästhetik des Klassizismus, kommt man an der Gestalt des Thomaskantors Moritz Hauptmann nicht vorbei. Was den Blickwinkel der Quellenfunde betrifft, zehrt die Forschung noch immer von den umfangreichen Auswahlausgaben der Briefe, insbesondere derjenigen an Franz Hauser. Hauptmanns Urteil über das Bachsche Werk weist diverse Facetten auf, ist aber auch von Vorurteilen geprägt. So hebt Hauptmann hervor, daß das <Wohltemperierte Clavier> Stellen enthalte, "gegen welche alles winzig sei". Hauptmanns Bach-Position bewegt sich zwischen Überlieferung und wissenschaftlicher Aneignung. So war er ab 1850 Vorsitzender der Bach-Gesellschaft und in dieser Funktion auch an der Gesamtausgabe als Herausgeber beteiligt.

Correlation between Emotional Intelligence and Academic Stress in Undergraduate Medical Students
Authors: Jamil Shazia , Jamil Sohail , Ullah Muhammad Saif 
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Students face health-related issues and stress due to the burden of their studies. Emotions can affect one’s reaction to stress; therefore, Emotional Intelligence may help overcome the adverse effects of the students’ stressful situations.
Objective: To determine the correlation between emotional intelligence (EI) and academic stress in undergraduate students and compare the perceived stress and emotional intelligence scores among both genders.
Methods: A Cross-sectional Correlational study was conducted among undergraduate medical students of M Islam Medical College Gujranwala. Two hundred and ten students participated in the study. Schutte’s Emotional Intelligence and perceived stress scale proformas were given to participants, and their EI and stress level were measured.
Results: Totally, 116 (55.2%) of participants were females, and 94 (44.8%) were males. Perceived Stress Score was higher in females(24.5 ± 5.9) as compared to males (20.9 ± 6.2) and second-year undergraduate students(24.5 ± 6.2) as compared to first-year students (21.4 ± 6.1). No significant difference was observed in emotional intelligence scores between both genders (Males=118, Females=119), however, it was a bit higher in first-year MBBS students (122) as compared to second-year MBBS students (115). A remarkable negative correlation was found between EI and educational stress in undergraduate medical students (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: It is evident from our study that emotional intelligence scores and educational stress are negatively correlated. Educating students to improve EI may help prevent stress and optimize their overall wellness. Hence it is suggested to include emotional intelligence awareness workshops and training in the educational programs of the undergraduate students.

Published: September 2021

Background: Climate change inflicts negative consequences on food production especially on smallholder farms needed to achieve food security. Sustainable farming techniques seem to be the bridge between climate change and food security.
Aims: To evaluate knowledge and practices of sustainable agriculture within smallholder farmers in the Bamenda Highlands, by identifying methods of pest and disease control, soil preservation options, and their different tillage practices, i.e., conventional versus sustainable practices.
Study Design: Using a questionnaire survey.
Place of Study: Bamenda Highlands, Cameroon.
Methodology: A sample of 175 smallholder farmers (25 from each of the seven administrative divisions) were questioned about their tillage, soil preservation, crop protection, and knowledge of sustainable farming practices. Data collected were analysed and summarised to obtain frequencies and percentages. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to test for significant relationships between the pairs of variables (age, level of formal education, sex, some tillage and soil preservation practices).
Results: Out of the 161 farmers who returned the answered questionnaire, 111(68.9%) agreed to have knowledge of sustainable farming but yet 158(98.1%) were still involved with conventional unsustainable practices such as tillage with the formation ridges, and 150(93.2%) used mineral fertilizers and pesticides. Crop rotation 102(64.2%), intercropping 110(68.3%), and legume integration 124(78.0%) were the most used sustainable farming practices. Sex (r=0.419, P=0.000), age (r=0.450, P=0.000), level of education (r=0.430, P=0.000), no till (r=0.19, P=0.016), crop rotation (r=0.158, P=0.040), and intercropping (r=0.227, P=0.045) all showed significant positive relationships with knowledge of sustainable farming at α=0.05.
Conclusions: Sufficient knowledge and capacity development on sustainable farming may decrease usage of unsustainable farming practices, hence improving the adoption of sustainable farming practices.

Hemin‐Doped, Ionically Crosslinked Silicone Elastomers with Peroxidase‐Like Reactivity
Authors: Gale Cody B. , Brook Michael A. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThe encapsulation of hemin in polymer systems represents a powerful tool for the preparation of synthetic enzymes. Reported systems largely focus on the creation of hydrogels or microreactors that require a degree of modification to the hemin molecule itself. The straightforward synthesis of hydrophobic hemin‐aminosilicone crosslinked silicone elastomers is described with peroxidase like reactivity. Elastomers are formed from purely ionic interactions between commercial aminoalkylsilicones and native hemin, which acts as a crosslinker. Elastomers prepared from ethylene diamine‐based silicones are robust elastomers in which hemin is retained, while hemin can leach monoamine analogues into the adjacent aqueous environment. The system is easily tunable, allowing for precise control of the hemin concentration and the physical properties of the elastomer. Upon exposure to peroxide‐containing solutions, elastomers readily oxidize the substrate 3′,3′,5′,5′‐tetramethylbenzidine at the interface. Elastomers containing excess amine show greater catalytic efficiency due to the coordination of the amines to the iron center of hemin, which is known to be activating. The reaction can be followed using UV‐visible spectroscopy; rates of reaction and Michaelis–Menten parameters are derived.

Published: September 2021

AbstractInfection and malignant tumors are the most common diseases in people's daily life, which seriously threaten human health. Because of the frequent and extensive administration of antibiotics and chemodrugs, the prevalence of multidrug‐resistant bacteria and tumor cells makes the conventional therapies less effective and even invalid. To overcome the repugnant dilemma, herein the authors devise and develop a hollow Cu2−XS nano‐homojunction (nano‐HJ) platform for the effective eradication of both bacteria and tumors upon tissue‐penetrable near‐infrared (NIR) light irradiation. Hyaluronan (HA) is covalently decorated onto the nano‐homojunctions (nano‐HJs) surface to enhance their biocompatibility, tumor‐targeting ability, and cutaneous wound healing capability. The decorated nano‐HJs exert robust NIR‐activatable bactericidal modality and accelerate the cutaneous regeneration of bacteria‐invaded full‐thickness wounds through the synergy of photothermal/photodynamic effects, glutathione depletion, and HA assistance. After loading anticancer drug doxorubicin in the cavity of nano‐HJs, the antitumor therapy efficacy is greatly strengthened both in vitro and in vivo by the collaborative photo‐chemotherapy. Accordingly, this work not only highlights the great promise of the Cu2−XS nano‐HJs in the treatment of bacteria‐induced contagious diseases and malignant tumors but also opens up a new research direction for the biomedical application of homojunction nanoplatforms in the future.

Published: September 2021

AbstractQuasi‐2D perovskites have received wide attention in photovoltaics owing to their excellent materials robustness and merits in the device stability. However, the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) reported on quasi‐2D perovskite solar cells (PSCs) still lags those of the 3D counterparts, mainly caused by the relatively high voltage loss. Here, a study is presented on the mitigation of voltage loss in quasi‐2D PSCs via usage of thermal‐aged precursor solutions (TAPSs). Based on the (AA)2MA4Pb5I16 (n = 5) quasi‐2D perovskite absorber with a bandgap of ≈1.60 eV, a record‐high open‐circuit voltage of 1.24 V is obtained, resulting in boosting the PCE to 18.68%. The enhanced photovoltaic performance afforded by TAPS is attributed to the thermal‐aged solution processing that triggers colloidal aggregations to reduce the nucleation sites inside the solution. As a result, formation of high‐quality perovskite films featuring compact morphology, preferential crystal orientation, and lowered trap density is allowed. Of importance, with the improved film quality, the corrosion of Ag electrode induced by ion migrations is effectively restrained, which leads to a satisfactory storage stability with <2% degradation after 1200 h under nitrogen environment without encapsulation.
Sensitive Mechanofluorochromic Carbon Dot‐Based AIEgens: Promising Reporting Components for Self‐Sensing Plastics

Published: September 2021

AbstractMechanofluorochromic carbon dot‐based aggregation‐induced emission luminogens (M‐CD‐AIEgens) are attracting much attention because of their many potential practical applications. However, the mechanofluorochromic response of current M‐CD‐AIEgens only occurs under high pressure, which greatly hinders their practical applications. To overcome this shortcoming, more pressure‐sensitive M‐CD‐AIEgens are now developed, which show approximately fivefold enhancement of photoluminescence quantum yield after grinding. This enhancement of photoluminescence is attributed to the weakening of π–π stacking interactions between the carbon dots, which is caused by the grinding process. To illustrate a potential application of their interesting properties, M‐CD‐AIEgens are incorporated into a poly(e‐caprolactone) matrix to prepare self‐sensing sustainable plastics, which are able to dynamically sense the external pressure distribution when subjected to strain.
