Introduction. The problem of antibiotic resistance of microorganisms is becoming more urgent in the twenty-first century. Microorganisms possess an evolutionary adaptive capacity. Non-adherence to the basic principles of rational antibiotic therapy leads to menacing consequences. More and more pathogenic microbes are becoming resistant to two or more antibiotics. The search for new compounds with antimicrobial activity is one of the principles for overcoming the antibiotic resistance of microorganisms.
Materials and methods. Eighteen test-strains of microorganisms and more than 2000 clinical strains of microorganisms, representating the families Micrococcaceae, Streptococcaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Moraxellaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Sphingomonadaceae, Xanthomonadaceae were studied for sensitivity to the compounds derived from 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-aminoindoles. A method of serial dilutions to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the compounds under study was used in the study, as well as a disc diffusion method.
Results and discussion. Sensitivity of the test-strains and of clinical strains of microorganisms to the resulting compounds was studied. The compounds based on substituted 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-aminoindoles showed different activity against the test strains and experimental strains of microorganisms in vitro. It was found that the marked antibacterial activity was exhibited by the compounds containing a trifluoromethyl group. The most significant activity was noted in amides and pyrroloquinolones based on 4-aminoindole, 6-aminoindole and 7-aminoindole.The most effective compounds with laboratory codes 5D, 7D, 39D, S3, HD, 4D showed a pronounced antibacterial activity.
Conclusion. Antimicrobial activity of the substituted amides and pyrroloquinolines on the basis of 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-aminoindoles was etermined in our study, as well as the spectra of their action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms, which are causative agents of non-specific and certain specific human infectious diseases. Moreover, we evaluated the synthetic potentials of the substituted 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-aminoindoles as the starting compounds for synthesizing a series of indolylamides and pyrroloquinolines. Also, the prospects for targeted synthesis of biologically active compounds based on indole-type aromatic amines were determined.

Nos basamos en las entrevistas obtenidas durante el trabajo de campo desarrollado entre 2015-2017. Resultados. Los eventos emocionales encontrados fueron: ‘Ya no me acuerdo de la civil: soy quien soy ahora’, ‘Cambio de mentalidad’. En el primero, los soldados dan cuenta de cómo una vez han ingresado a la institución, la vida civil deja de ser un referente en su cotidianidad. En el segundo, los soldados narran cómo en la Escuela de Soldados Profesionales (ESPRO) no se les enseña a matar, esto se aprende en el área. Conclusiones. Al final encontramos que el estudio de las emociones es de vital importancia cuando se pretende comprender la vida cotidiana de las personas que forma parte de instituciones complejas como el ejército colombiano.
Reducing inequalities and strengthening social cohesion through inclusive growth: a roadmap for action
Authors: Boarini Romina , Causa Orsetta , Fleurbaey Marc , Grimalda Gianluca , Woolard Ingrid 
Published: October 2018

AbstractThe authors propose a policy compact to achieve more inclusive growth in G20 countries so that economic growth regains the ultimate sense of improving all people’s lives. Guiding principles are: 1) prosperity is not just about income but about all relevant outcomes of well-being and capabilities to overcome the initial social disadvantage; 2) it is also about including people in participatory decision-making to enhance their dignity and control over their lives; 3) excluding people from reaping the benefits of growth will thwart social cohesion and well-being; 4) integrated policy approaches are needed to achieve inclusive growth, across policy domains and between national and global actions, including responsible management of migratory movements. Concrete policy actions are described that span education, labor, fiscal instruments, public and private governance.
Radiocarbon measurements of ecosystem respiration and soil pore-space CO2 in Utqiaġvik (Barrow), Alaska
Authors: Vaughn Lydia J. S. , Torn Margaret S. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract. Radiocarbon measurements of ecosystem respiration and soil pore space
CO2 are useful for determining the sources of ecosystem respiration,
identifying environmental controls on soil carbon cycling rates, and
parameterizing and evaluating models of the carbon cycle. We measured flux
rates and radiocarbon content of
ecosystem respiration, as well as radiocarbon in soil profile CO2 in
Utqiaġvik (Barrow), Alaska, during the summers of 2012, 2013, and 2014.
We found that radiocarbon in ecosystem respiration
(Δ14CReco) ranged from +60.5 to −160 ‰ with a
median value of +23.3 ‰. Ecosystem respiration became more
depleted in radiocarbon from summer to autumn, indicating increased
decomposition of old soil organic carbon and/or decreased CO2
production from fast-cycling carbon pools. Across permafrost features,
ecosystem respiration from high-centered polygons was depleted in radiocarbon
relative to other polygon types. Radiocarbon content in soil pore-space
CO2 varied between −7.1 and −280 ‰, becoming more
negative with depth in individual soil profiles. These pore-space radiocarbon
values correspond to CO2 mean ages of 410 to 3350 years, based on a
steady-state, one-pool model. Together, these data indicate that
deep soil
respiration was derived primarily from old, slow-cycling carbon, but
that total CO2 fluxes depended largely on autotrophic respiration and
heterotrophic decomposition of fast-cycling carbon within the shallowest soil
layers. The relative contributions of these different CO2 sources
were highly variable across
microtopographic features and time in the sampling season. The highly
negative Δ14C values in soil pore-space CO2 and autumn
ecosystem respiration indicate that when it is not frozen, very old soil
carbon is vulnerable to decomposition. Radiocarbon data and associated
CO2 flux and temperature data are stored in the data repository of
the Next Generation Ecosystem Experiments (NGEE-Arctic) at

Implementation and validation of a new operational wave forecasting system of the Mediterranean Monitoring and Forecasting Centre in the framework of the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service
Authors: Ravdas Michalis , Zacharioudaki Anna , Korres Gerasimos 
Published: October 2018

Abstract. Within the framework of the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS),
an operational wave forecasting system for the Mediterranean Sea has
been implemented by the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) and
evaluated through a series of preoperational tests and subsequently for 1
full year of simulations (2014). The system is based on the WAM model and it
has been developed as a nested sequence of two computational grids to ensure
that occasional remote swell propagating from the North Atlantic
correctly enters the Mediterranean Sea through the Strait of Gibraltar.
The Mediterranean model has a grid spacing of 1∕24∘. It is driven with
6-hourly analysis and 5-day forecast 10 m ECMWF winds. It accounts for
shoaling and refraction due to bathymetry and surface currents, which are
provided in offline mode by CMEMS. Extensive statistics on the system
performance have been calculated by comparing model results with in situ and
satellite observations. Overall, the significant wave height is accurately
simulated by the model while less accurate but reasonably good results are
obtained for the mean wave period. In both cases, the model performs
optimally at offshore wave buoy locations and well-exposed Mediterranean
subregions. Within enclosed basins and near the coast, unresolved
topography by the wind and wave models and fetch limitations cause the wave
model performance to deteriorate. Model performance is better in winter when
the wave conditions are well defined. On the whole, the new forecast system
provides reliable forecasts. Future improvements include data assimilation
and higher-resolution wind forcing.

Abstract. A new annually resolved sedimentary record of Southern
Hemisphere mid-latitude hydroclimate was recovered from Lake Ohau, South
Island, New Zealand, in March 2016. The Lake Ohau Climate History (LOCH)
project acquired cores from two sites (LOCH-1 and -2) that preserve sequences
of laminated mud that accumulated since the lake formed ∼ 17 000 years
ago. Cores were recovered using a purpose-built barge and drilling system
designed to recover soft sediment from thick sedimentary sequences in lake
systems up to 150 m deep. This system can be transported in two to three
40 ft long shipping containers and is suitable for use in a range of
geographic locations. A comprehensive suite of data has been collected from
the sedimentary sequence using state-of-the-art analytical equipment and
techniques. These new observations of past environmental variability augment
the historical instrumental record and are currently being integrated with
regional climate and hydrological modelling studies to explore causes of
variability in extreme/flood events over the past several millennia.

Wrench in the Deportation Machine: Louis F. Post’s Objection to Mechanized Red Scare Bureaucracy
Authors: Guariglia Matthew 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Between the spring of 1920 and early 1921, the Assistant Secretary of Labor, Progressive-turned-bureaucrat Louis Freeland Post, refused to sign the warrants that would have been used to deport almost three thousand alleged immigrant radicals detained as a result of the Palmer Raids. Although this action has long been remembered as a triumph of US civil liberties, this article argues that Post’s objections to the deportations were grounded in his concern with the growing capabilities of mechanized bureaucracy and the tendency of these managerial technologies to discourage informed adjudication. Rather than opposing laws that would allow for the deportation of political radicals, Post vocally protested the “sign on the dotted line” style of governance he was expected to enact. As a result of his inaction, participants at every level of the emerging gate-keeping and immigration system objected to Post’s inability to let the deportation “machine” run.

Published: October 2018

AbstractHumans have a myriad of sensory receptors in different sense organs that form the five traditionally recognized senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. These receptors detect diverse stimuli originating from the world and turn them into brain‐interpretable electrical impulses for sensory cognitive processing, enabling us to communicate and socialize. Developments in biologically inspired electronics have led to the demonstration of a wide range of electronic sensors in all five traditional categories, with the potential to impact a broad spectrum of applications. Here, recent advances in bioinspired electronics that can function as potential artificial sensory systems, including prosthesis and humanoid robots are reviewed. The mechanisms and demonstrations in mimicking biological sensory systems are individually discussed and the remaining future challenges that must be solved for their versatile use are analyzed. Recent progress in bioinspired electronic sensors shows that the five traditional senses are successfully mimicked using novel electronic components and the performance regarding sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy have improved to levels that outperform human sensory organs. Finally, neural interfacing techniques for connecting artificial sensors to the brain are discussed.
Wettability and Applications of Nanochannels
Authors: Zhang Xiqi , Liu Hongliang , Jiang Lei 
Published: October 2018

AbstractWettability in nanochannels is of great importance for understanding many challenging problems in interface chemistry and fluid mechanics, and presents versatile applications including mass transport, catalysis, chemical reaction, nanofabrication, batteries, and separation. Recently, both molecular dynamic simulations and experimental measurements have been employed to study wettability in nanochannels. Here, wettability in three types of nanochannels comprising 1D nanochannels, 2D nanochannels, and 3D nanochannels is summarized both theoretically and experimentally. The proposed concept of “quantum‐confined superfluid” for ultrafast mass transport in nanochannels is first introduced, and the mostly studied 1D nanochannels are reviewed from molecular simulation to water wettability, followed by reversible switching of water wettability via external stimuli (temperature and voltage). Liquid transport and two confinement strategies in nanochannels of melt wetting and liquid wetting are also included. Then, molecular simulation, water wettability, liquid transport, and confinement in nanochannels are introduced for 2D nanochannels and 3D nanochannels, respectively. Based on the wettability in nanochannels, broad applications of various nanochannels are presented. Finally, the perspective for future challenges in the wettability and applications of nanochannels is discussed.

Published: October 2018

AbstractDue to their distinctive electronic, optical, and chemical properties, metal nanoplates represent important building blocks for creating functional superstructures. Here, a general deposition method for synthesizing Ag nanoplate architectures, which is compatible with a wide substrate range (flexible, curved, or recessed; consisting of carbon, silicon, metals, oxides, or polymers) is reported. By adjusting the reaction conditions, nucleation can be triggered in the bulk solution, on seeds and by electrodeposition, allowing the production of nanoplate suspensions as well as direct surface modification with open‐porous nanoplate films. The latter are fully percolated, possess a large, easily accessible surface, a defined nanostructure with {111} basal planes, and expose defect‐rich, particularly reactive edges in high density, making them compelling platforms for heterogeneous catalysis, and electro‐ and flow chemistry. This potential is showcased by exploring the catalytic performance of the nanoplates in the reduction of carbon dioxide, 4‐nitrophenol, and hydrogen peroxide, devising two types of microreactors, and by tuning the nanoplate functionality with derivatization reactions.
Rational Integration of Biomineralization, Microbial Surface Display, and Carbon Nanocomposites: Ultrasensitive and Selective Biosensor for Traces of Pesticides

Published: October 2018

AbstractNowadays, the over misuse of organophosphate pesticides (OPP) has seriously threatened human health and environment, and it is challenging and indispensable to establish biosensor for supersensitive, reliable, and fast detection of traces of OPP in real samples. This work provides an interdisciplinary strategy for the construction of electrochemical OPP biosensor with supersensitivity, high selectivity, simple operation, and fast response. First, amino acid ionic liquid (AAIL) is used as stabilizer to dramatically improve the dispersibility of carbon nanotube (CNT) in the water phase, so that the obtained CNT@AAIL composites show good conductivity, biocompatibility, and electrocatalytic activity. Further, CNT@AAIL composites are employed to improve the conductivity and electrochemical activity of mineralized organophosphate hydrolase (OPH)‐fused cell (M‐Cell) with excellent catalytic activity for the fabrication of electrochemical biosensor. Based on synergistic effects of CNT@AAIL and M‐Cell, the constructed biosensor shows 2–8 orders of magnitude lower limit of detection (3 fmol L−1) than those of reported OPP analytic methods. In addition, due to the specificity of OPH and detection at negative potential, the biosensor shows excellent selectivity. In addition, the biosensor also demonstrates the acceptable reliability for the traces of pesticides in real samples. This work will open an interdisciplinary avenue for supersensitive electrochemical biosensor.

Published: October 2018

AbstractAlthough bile acids (BAs) have been suggested as important biomarkers for endocrine diseases, the identification and quantification of different BAs are still challenges due to their enormous species and wide range concentrations. Herein, a copolymer probe based on β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) is fabricated through a simple in‐mold photopolymerization for the selective extraction of BAs. Through the unique stereochemical affinity between BAs and the cavity of β‐CD, the custom probe shows superior enriching capacities to series BAs. Moreover, the outstanding extraction ability is proved to be consistent in various interfering conditions, including pH changing and the addition of complex matrix. Further comparison shows that the stereostructure of the nucleus of BAs plays a vital role during the formation of the β‐CD/BA complex, indicating the potential for efficient extraction of other BAs, including their structural analogues or some unknown ones. The developed probe is used for solid phase microextraction, and the limits of detection are lower than 0.075 ng mL−1 by coupling to high performance liquid chromatography‐tandem mass analysis. The results in this study highlight the potential for effective improvement of immediate detection and profiling of BAs in real samples, which will make a tremendous impact in the analytical field or clinical diagnosis.
