Optimization of process parameters and kinetic modeling for the enantioselective kinetic resolution of (R,S)-2-pentanol
Authors: Malyemez Aslı Soyer , Bayraktar Emine , Mehmetoğlu Ülkü 
Published: August 2017

Abstract

Introduction
In order to product (S)-2-pentanol which have been used as a key chiral intermediate required in the synthesis of several potential anti-Alzhemeir drugs, the effects of enzyme, acyl donor, substrate concentration and acyl donor/racemic-2-pentanol mole ratio were investigated on the kinetic resolution of racemic-2-pentanol.

Methods
Reactions were performed in a bioreactor of 50 mL capacity with a working volume of 30 mL on an orbital shaker at 150 rpm and at 30°C. Production parameters were investigated with different type of enzyme and acyl donor.

Results
The optimum conditions were obtained with Novozyme 435 and vinyl butyrate with the 50% conversion, 99% of enantiomeric excess for the substrate at 30 min. Optimum conditions are 1500 mM substrate and 4 mg/mL enzyme concentrations and 24.88 mM/min maximum initial reaction rate. It was obtained that Ping-Pong bi-bi mechanism was the appropriate reaction kinetic. Kinetic parameters were determined with Polymath 6.1 software as 4.16 mmol/min/g enzyme maximum reaction rates, 103.73 mM Km for (R)-2-pentanol and 51.18 mM Km for vinyl butyrate.

Conclusion
(S)-2-pentanol was obtained with 99% of enantiomeric excess. These data will be clear up to product (S)-2-pentanol at larger industrial scales in future.
METAFORSKE I METONIMIJSKE SLIKE VODE U PJESNIŠTVU JOSIPA PUPAČIĆA
Authors: Franković Sanja 
Published: August 2017

Motiv vode u pjesništvu Josipa Pupačića javlja se kao slika zavičaja (metonimija) ili pokazatelj stanja duše (metafora). Na metaforskoj razini prevladava motiv kiše kao mladenačke sanjarije, rijeke kao ljudske prolaznosti, ljubavi i čulnosti te vode kao stanja podsvijesti ili znaka smrti. Voda metonimijski zrcali pjesnikov zavičaj u izokrenutoj viziji svijeta. More je slika zavičaja, nagovještaj ljubavi i znak egzistencijalne borbe. Pojavljuje se i kontrast vode i svjetlosti. U razdoblju stvaralačke krize Pupačićevi motivi vode imaju apstraktnu vrijednost jer pripadaju podsvijesti lirskoga subjekta. U zreloj pjesničkoj fazi motiv usahle ili divlje vode povezan je sa zemljom u simbolici narušene veze između živih ljudi i njihovih pokojnih predaka. Njegova prisutnost ili odsutnost ima egzistencijalno i povijesno značenje.
Aspekt vremena u romanima E. Zamjatina "Mi" i G. Orwella "1984"
Authors: Šejić Rafaela 
Published: August 2017

Vrijeme je i filozofska i fizikalna kategorija, koja se na različite načine očituje kao faktor u teoriji i praksi književnog stvaralaštva. U radu se analiziraju neki aspekti vremena u romanima Mi i 1984. Govorimo o vezi vremena pisanja s temom i stilom romana, te o vezi vremena čitanja s recepcijom romana (aspekti vremena koji zadiru i izvan romana). Posebna pažnja ukazana je složenoj vremenskoj organizaciji romana, ulozi flash-backa, međuodnosima različitih subjektivnih vremena u romanima i njihovoj ulozi u romanima. Također se pokušalo ukazati na međuodnose različitih aspekata vremena, kao što su odnosi različitih subjektivnih vremena u romanima, posebno iz aspekta karakterizacije likova. Prikazan je način na koji je glavni lik romana D-503 karakteriziran upravo uz pomoć aspekta vremena.

Prikazuju se nastavci glagola i donose primjeri nastavaka za sve glagole koji se mijenjaju po spregovnim vrstama. Slijed glagola koji se sprežu po izdvojenim pravilima: glagoli supletivnih osnova, glagoli s prezentskim nastavkom za 1. l. jd. -u, glagoli s dvosložnim inﬁnitivom i nepravilnim odnosom između inﬁnitivne i prezentske osnove, glagoli s jednosložnom osnovom koja završava konsonantom i jednosložnom osnovom koja završava vokalom.
Grafija višečlanih toponima - problematika pisanja višečlanih toponimskih likova na pravopisnoj, sintaktičkoj i fonetskoj razini
Authors: Vuković Siniša 
Published: August 2017

U radu se analizira problematika pisanja onih toponima čiji su likovi duži od jedne riječi. Autori različitih radova iz onomastičke literature različito su prilazili toj problematici, a naše je stanovište kako istu problematiku treba sustavnije proučiti i protumačiti, te predložiti kriterije po kojima bi se – na pravopisnoj razini – sugeriralo njihovo ispravno bilježenje. Mi smo složenost pisanja višeleksemskih toponima prikazali na tri razine. Prva se odnosi na pisanje velikog i malog slova u nepočetnim imenicama (apelativima), drugi se tiče spojenog i rastavljenog pisanja istih, a treći ukazuje na problematiku fonološke prirode.
Struktura i stratifikacija istrorumunjskoga leksika
Authors: Filipi Goran 
Published: August 2017

U članku se pokušava sinkronijski i dijakronijski odrediti različite izvorne i aloglotske leksičke slojeve u istrorumunjskim idiomima. Svaki se sloj oprimjeruje riječima koje je autor sam prikupio tijekom terenskih istraživanja od 1985. do današnjih dana (autor raspolaže korpusom od preko 15.000 leksičkih jedinica – računajući dakako i sve glasovne inačice) i primjerima iz literature o istrorumunjskim govorima. Pripadnost pojedinih riječi odgovarajućem sloju dokazuje se suvremenim etimologijskim i leksikologijskim metodama. Autor je svjestan stanovita broja mogućih pogrešnih procjena jer riječ je ipak o idiomu za koji ne postoje nikakvi tekstovi iz iole starijih vremena.
Govor janjeva
Authors: Lončarić Mijo 
Published: August 2017

Ovaj osvrt na neke janjevačke jezične posebnosti zasniva se na literaturi, prvenstveno na dva najveća djela o tom govoru – na monografiji Milivoja Pavlovića Govor Janjeva i na opsežnom rukopisu Nikole Čolaka Janjevački govor. Prvi zapisi o govoru Janjeva stari su gotovo jedno stoljeće – to je Elezovićevo istraživanje s početka dvadesetoga stoljeća (1911). Janjevo i Letnica predviđeni su kao punktovi (odabrani mjesni govori u mreži) hrvatskih govora u dijaspori Hrvatskoga jezičnog atlasa. Govor Janjeva ima značajke vrlo bliske srpskim torlačkim govorima, ali ima neke osobine koje ga izdvajaju među njima. To je nešto leksika, rječničkoga blaga (rudarski germanizmi te riječi iz hrvatskoga književnog jezika), te posebnoakcentuacija i deklinacija. Naglasni je sustav sigurno ostatak starine, ali bi ta crta mogla biti i čuvanje starine prizrensko-južnomoravskih govora torlačkoga dijalekta, kao i rezultat drukčijega porijekla govornika, dakle hrvatska značajka. Pred hrvatskom dijalektologijom stoji zadatak istražiti ponovno govor Janjeva, istražiti govor Letnice, te vidjeti koje su stare specifičnosti tih govora, s obzirom nadruge torlačke govore, s jedne strane, te što se događa s njima u novim uvjetima u dodiru s hrvatskim književnim jezikom, odnosno drugim hrvatskim izvornim narodnim govorima, s druge strane.
Uloga Galicije i Šleske kod ustroja Poljske u suvremenu naciju
Authors: Pederin Ivan 
Published: August 2017

Ovaj rad je prikaz sveska posvećenog Galiciji u zbirci Die österreichischugarische Monarchie in Wort und Bild (Beč, 1898.) koju je 1886. pokrenuo nadvojvoda Rudolf. Svrha ovog rada nije da prikaže kulturu, povijest i gospodarstvo Galicije, već da pokaže što je ta zemlja bila i kako je funkcionirala u okviru Carevine. Iz zbirke se vidi da je namjera izdavača bila da prikaže Carevinu kao cjelinu i to pojedinačno svaku od njezinih zemalja. Tu je jasno da je Dvor išao za tim da se sve te zemlje razviju u suvremene nacije u čemu je i uspio, a to je prikazano u ovom svesku. Carevina se prema tome sastojala od niza političkih i nacionalnih jedinica koje je vezivala jedino osoba cara i kralja. Galicija je bila dio Poljske koji je po diobi Poljske pripao Carevini, a granice toga dijela mijenjale su se za Napoleonskih ratova. Za razliku od Poljaka u ruskom i pruskom, kasnije njemačkom dijelu Poljske, Poljaci u Galiciji uživali su više od manjinskih zemalja, imali su djelomični suverenitet, jer je car imao u svojoj ruci samo vojsku, vanjske poslove, gospodarstvo i financije. Zbog toga je Galicija postala vodeći dio Poljske koja će se ujediniti poslije Prvoga svjetskog rata.
I romanismi nella poesia di Slavko Kalčić e Tomislav Milohanić
Authors: Milovan Valter 
Published: August 2017

Lo scopo di questo lavoro è quello di analizzare e comparare l’uso deiromanismi in due poeti istriani della stessa generazione – Slavko Kalčić e Tomislav Milohanić Slavić. È stata svolta l’analisi stilistica di 145 poesie dei due autori, come anche l’analisi etimologica dei romanismi più interessanti. I romanismi sono stati raggruppati in diciassette campi semantici (meteorologia, geomorfologia, i costumi e le istituzioni, il corpo ed i sensi, le percezioni e le impressioni, il tempo e il calendario, la vita, il matrimonio e la famiglia, gli animali, l’agricoltura e l’allevamento, sentimenti, azioni, ecc.). Nelle poesie di Milohanić è stato trovato un numero significativo di romanismi in posizione di rima, in entrambi gli autori sono stati osservati neologismi creati dalle parole di origine romanza. Inoltre, sono state messe in luce le più significative particolarità linguistiche e figure retoriche (allitterazione, isocolon, anafora, epifora, polisindeto, neologismi, l’uso della lingua italiana standard eccetera), che gli autori hanno utilizzato nella loro scrittura.
Taxonomically Restricted Genes with Essential Functions Frequently Play Roles in Chromosome Segregation inCaenorhabditis elegansandSaccharomyces cerevisiae

Published: August 2017

AbstractGenes encoding essential components of core cellular processes are typically highly conserved across eukaryotes. However, a small proportion of essential genes are highly taxonomically restricted; there appear to be no similar genes outside the genomes of highly related species. What are the functions of these poorly characterized taxonomically restricted genes (TRGs)? Systematic screens in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Caenorhabditis elegans previously identified yeast or nematode TRGs that are essential for viability and we find that these genes share many molecular features, despite having no significant sequence similarity. Specifically, we find that those TRGs with essential phenotypes have an expression profile more similar to highly conserved genes, they have more protein–protein interactions and more protein disorder. Surprisingly, many TRGs play central roles in chromosome segregation; a core eukaryotic process. We thus find that genes that appear to be highly evolutionarily restricted do not necessarily play roles in species-specific biological functions but frequently play essential roles in core eukaryotic processes.
A First Nation Economic Development Model
Authors: Delion Carole 
Published: August 2017

Achieving balance is not an easy task for First Nations, as there are numerous obstacles to overcome by manoeuvring through the legislative processes at the federal and provincial jurisdictional levels. The goal of this paper is to explore how to grow a sustainable economic development model within a First Nation, using the example of Aamjiwnaang First Nation, a small community that is located in southern Ontario. It will document the development and evolution of Aamjiwnaang’s economic development model, named A Healthy Tree, which is founded on Elder and Aamjiwnaang Chief Gerald Maness, Sr.’s concept of the community as a tree. The paper will demonstrate the steps taken and the best practices used for turning obstacles into opportunities. Finally, it will address a major issue facing the Aamjiwnaang Band Council: how it can proceed when the Head Lease expires in 2025.Keywords: First Nations, communities, economic development, strategic planning, industrial parks

Background and aimsThe main aim of this study was to analyze and describe the clinical characteristics and shared personality traits in different impulsivity–compulsivity spectrum disorders: substance use disorders (SUD), gambling disorder (GD), and bulimia nervosa (BN). The specific aims were to compare personality differences among individuals with pure SUD, BN with and without SUD, and GD with and without SUD. In addition, we assessed the differential predictive capacity of clinical and personality variables in relation to diagnostic subtype.MethodsThe sample comprised 998 subjects diagnosed according to DSM-IV-TR criteria: 101 patients were diagnosed with SUD, 482 with GD, 359 with BN, 11 with GD + SUD, and 45 patients with BN + SUD. Various assessment instruments were administered, as well as other clinical measures, to evaluate their predictive capacity.ResultsMarked differences in personality traits were observed between groups. Novelty seeking, harm avoidance, self-directedness, cooperation, and self-transcendence best differentiated the groups. Notably, novelty seeking was significantly higher in the two dual pathology subgroups. Patients with dual pathology showed the most dysfunctional personality profiles.Discussion and conclusionOur results indicate the existence of shared dysfunctional personality traits among the groups studied, especially in novelty seeking and self-directedness.
Jornalismo como campo mediador dos direitos humanos

Published: August 2017

O campo midiático exerce um lugar estratégico na configuração das sociedades contemporâneas, contribuindo para a reflexão sobre o exercício da cidadania e da democracia. Este texto discute como as narrativas jornalísticas operam na construção de uma visão sobre os direitos humanos. Analisa reportagens publicadas pela Folha de São Paulo e Jornal do Brasil on-line no período de agosto de 2014 a março de 2015, a partir das palavras-chave: direitos humanos, democracia, liberdade de expressão, cidadania e direito à informação. Apoiando-se no pensamento de Motta, Resende, Tuchman, Maldonado, Gentilli e Bobbio, apresenta as narrativas jornalísticas como o lugar onde ocorrem as mediações sociais, partindo da compreensão de que o jornalismo é um dos elementos para a constituição da realidade como fenômeno social compartilhado. O direito à informação e à comunicação atua como direito meio para o acesso aos demais direitos do cidadão. Dessa forma o jornalismo pode se concretizar como o campo mediador de outros campos em uma democracia do poder visível em que muitas das discussões contemporâneas contemplam a preocupação com a necessidade de promover a cultura dos direitos humanos.

Over 30% of children in Nunavik have been reported to child welfare services byprofessionals, community workers, and/or community members due to possible need of protection, according to a recent report that identified important gaps in the system of care for Inuit youth in Nunavik (Sirois & Montminy, 2010). The objective of this qualitative study was to assess the perspectives of various actors regarding the needs of Inuit youth living in a residential facility in Montreal. Our methods included non-participant observation; semi-structured interviews with youth, residential staff, therapists, and a culture broker; and video production with youth. Adopting a systemic approach, we discuss how the various perspectives converge and diverge and the place that is given to culture in the discourses. We conclude that developing culturally appropriate care for Inuit youth in the care of child welfare is a multicultural task, as it involves multiple groups of individuals influenced by their professional and personal cultures. We suggest the merging of perspectives as a potential for creating innovative practices that are culturally sensitive. ᓇᑉᐸᑲᓴᖏᑦ (30%) ᓱᕈᓰᑦ ᓄᓇᕕᒻᒥᐅᑕᐃᑦ ᓱᕈᓯᓕᕆᔨᒃᑯᓐᓄᑦ ᑲᒪᒋᔭᐅᔪᑦ ᐃᓄᓕᕆᔨᒃᑯᓐᓄᑦ, ᓄᓇᓕᒻᒥ ᐃᖅᑲᓇᐃᔭᖅᑎᓄᑦ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᐅᕝᕙᓗᑭᐊᖅ ᓄᓇᓕᓐᓂᒥᐅᓄᑦ ᐱᔾᔪᑕᐅᓪᓗᑎᒃ ᓴᐳᑎᔭᐅᔭᕆᐊᖃᖅᐸᓐᓂᖏᓐᓄᑦ, ᖃᓂᑦᑐᒃᑯᑦ ᐅᓂᒃᑳᓕᐊᖑᓯᒪᔪᖅ ᑕᑯᓪᓗᒍ ᑐᑭᓯᓇᖅᓯᔪᔪᖅ ᐊᒥᒐᖅᓯᓂᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᓄᓇᕕᒻᒥ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᒪᒃᑯᑦᑐᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᒥᐊᓂᖅᓯᓂᕐᒥᒃ (ᓯᕈᐊ ᐊᒻᒪ ᒫᓐᑎᒦᓂ, 2010). ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕐᓂᐅᑉ ᑖᔅᓱᒪ ᑐᕌᒐᖓ ᕿᒥᕐᕈᓂᐅᔪᕗᖅ ᐃᓱᒪᒋᔾᔪᑕᐅᔪᓂᒃ ᐅᐸᑲᖅᑕᕐᕕᐅᕙᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᒪᒃᑯᑦᑐᑦ ᑭᓐᖒᒪᔾᔪᑎᒋᒋᐊᓕᖏᑦ ᒪᓐᑐᕆᐊᒥ ᐊᖏᕐᕋᖃᕐᕕᐅᔪᒥ. ᐊᖅᑯᑎᒋᔪᔭᕗᑦ ᐃᓚᓕᐅᔾᔨᓂᖅ ᐃᓚᒋᔭᐅᓐᖏᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᑖᒃᑯᓄᖓ ᑕᑯᓐᓇᒐᕆᔭᖏᓐᓂᒃ; ᐋᖅᑭᓱᖅᑕᐅᓯᒪᓗᐊᕋᑎᒃ ᒪᒃᑯᑦᑐᓄᑦ ᐊᐱᖅᑯᑏᑦ, ᓇᔪᒐᖃᕐᕕᐅᔪᒥᑦ ᐃᖅᑲᓇᐃᔭᖅᑎᖏᓐᓂᑦ, ᐃᓄᓕᕆᔨᓂᑦ, ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᓕᕆᔨᒥᓪᓗ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ, ᑕᕐᕆᔮᓕᐊᖑᓯᒪᔪᒥᒃ ᒪᒃᑯᑦᑐᓂᑦ. ᓄᑕᐅᔪᒥᒃ ᐃᑲᔫᑎᒥᒃ ᐊᖅᑯᓯᐅᖅᑐᑕ, ᐅᖃᐅᓯᖃᖅᐳᒍᑦ ᖃᓄᖅ ᐃᓱᒪᒋᔾᔪᑕᐅᔪᑦ ᐃᓗᐃᑦᑐᕈᖅᑎᒍᓐᓇᕐᒪᖔᖅᑎᒍᑦ ᐃᓕᑕᕆᓗᒍ ᖃᓄᖅ ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᖅ ᐃᓚᓕᐅᔾᔭᐅᒋᐊᒃᑲᓐᓂᕈᓐᓇᕐᒪᖔᑦ ᐊᓯᔾᔩᒋᐊᕐᓂᕐᒧᑦ. ᐃᓱᒪᓕᐅᖅᐳᒍᑦ ᐋᖅᑭᔅᓱᐃᓂᖅ ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᕐᒨᖓᔪᒥᒃ ᐃᓄᓐᓄᑦ ᒪᒃᑯᑦᑐᓄᑦ ᓱᕈᓯᓕᕆᔨᒃᑯᓐᓂᑦ ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᖃᑎᒌᓐᖏᑦᑐᓄᑦ ᐊᒥᓱᓄᑦᐱᓕᕆᐊᖑᒋᐊᑐᔪᖅ, ᐊᑦᑐᐃᓪᓗᑎᓪᓗ ᐊᒥᓱᓂᒃ ᐃᖅᑲᓇᐃᔭᖅᑎᓂᒃ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᖃᑎᒌᓐᖏᑦᑐᓂᒃ. ᐱᔪᒪᔾᔪᑎᓕᐅᖁᔨᕗᒍᑦ ᐃᓱᒪᔾᔪᓯᐅᔪᑦ ᑲᑎᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᓄᑖᓂᒃ ᐊᔾᔨᐅᖏᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᐋᖅᑭᔅᓱᐃᓂᒃᑯᑦ ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᕐᓂᒃ ᐃᓚᓐᖑᑦᑎᕆᓂᒃᑯᑦ.
