Abstract
A series of oxygen- and sulfur-bridged bianthracene V-shaped π-electronic cores are facilely synthesized. We clarify their fundamental properties and aggregated structures in single crystals as well as measure their transistor performances in single crystal field-effect transistors. Both V-shaped molecules possess bent structures induced by the intermolecular interaction in a herringbone-packing manner. A theoretical calculation study reveals that the driving force of the bent structures originates from the strong dispersion energy. Additionally, the bent conformation plays a crucial role in the formation of a dense packing structure, resulting in an attractive intermolecular overlap. An examination of the charge transport indicates that the hole mobility is up to 2.0 cm2/Vs. Finally, to understand the anisotropies of the mobility in single crystals, the transistors are evaluated when the channel direction is either parallel or orthogonal to the column direction in the herringbone packing along with their band structure calculations. Sulfur-bridged V-shaped π-electronic cores are more suitable for two-dimensional carrier-transport than oxygen-bridged analogs.

Published: May 2017

Background: Patient waiting time is considered as a crucial parameter in the assessment of healthcare quality and patients’ satisfaction towards healthcare services. Data concerning this has remained limited in Vietnam. Thus, this study aims to assess patient waiting time in the outpatient clinic in Viet Duc Hospital (Hanoi, Vietnam) in order to enable stakeholders to inform evidence-based interventions to improve the quality of healthcare services. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2014 to June 2015 in the outpatient clinic at Viet Duc Hospital. Waiting time stratified by years (2014 and 2015), months of the year, weekdays, and hours of the day were extracted from Hospital Management software and carefully calculated. Stata 12.0 was employed to analyze data, including the average time (M± SD), frequencies and percentage (%). Results: There was a total of 137,881 patients involved in the study. The average waiting time from registration to preliminary diagnosis in 2014 was 50.41 minutes, and in 2015 was 42.05 minutes. A longer waiting time was recorded in the morning and in those having health insurance. Conclusions: Our study highlights the essential need for human resource promotion to reduce patient waiting time. Also, attention should be paid to the simplification of administrative procedures in order to reduce waiting time among insured patients.

Published: May 2017

Background: AlthoughSaccharomyces cerevisiaeis the most frequently isolated species in wine fermentation, and the most studied species, other species and interspecific hybrids have greatly attracted the interest of researchers in this field in the last few years, given their potential to solve new winemaking industry challenges.S. cerevisiaexS. kudriavzeviihybrids exhibit good fermentative capabilities at low temperatures, and produce wines with smaller alcohol quantities and larger glycerol quantities, which can be very useful to solve challenges in the winemaking industry such as the necessity to enhance the aroma profile.Methods: In this study, we performed a transcriptomic study ofS. cerevisiaexS. kudriavzeviihybrids in low temperature winemaking conditions.Results: The results revealed that the hybrids have acquired both fermentative abilities and cold adaptation abilities, attributed toS. cerevisiaeandS. kudriavzeviiparental species, respectively, showcasing their industrially relevant characteristics. For several key genes, we also studied the contribution to gene expression of each of the alleles ofS. cerevisiaeandS. kudriavzeviiin theS. cerevisiaexS. kudriavzeviihybrids. From the results, it is not clear how important the differential expression of the specific parental alleles is to the phenotype of the hybrids.Conclusions: This study shows that the fermentative abilities ofS. cerevisiaexS. kudriavzeviihybrids at low temperatures do not seem to result from differential expression of specific parental alleles of the key genes involved in this phentoype.
Quantification of polysaccharides fixed to Gram stained slides using lactophenol cotton blue and digital image processing
Authors: Ericksen Bryan 
Published: May 2017

Dark blue rings and circles emerged when the non-specific polysaccharide stain lactophenol cotton blue was added to Gram stained slides. The dark blue staining is attributable to the presence of capsular polysaccharides and bacterial slime associated with clumps of Gram-negative bacteria. Since all bacterial cells are glycosylated and concentrate polysaccharides from the media, the majority of cells stain light blue. The contrast between dark and light staining is sufficient to enable a digital image processing thresholding technique to be quantitative with little background noise. Prior to the addition of lactophenol cotton blue, the Gram-stained slides appeared unremarkable, lacking ubiquitous clumps or stained polysaccharides. Adding lactophenol cotton blue to Gram stained slides is a quick and inexpensive way to screen cell cultures for bacterial slime, clumps and biofilms that are invisible using the Gram stain alone. The presence of cell clumping provides a possible explanation of the presence of persisters and paradoxical points observed in Virtual Colony Count antimicrobial assays, and suggests a phenotypic resistance mechanism to antimicrobial peptides involving capsular polysaccharides.

Authors: SALAZAR  DUQUE OSCAR 
Published: May 2017

La humanidad y sus organizaciones del siglo XXI observan con inquietud los episodios turbulentos y de desorden que generan incertidumbre y caos en los aspectos sociales, políticos, ecológicos, tecnológicos, científicos y en la gestión, entre otros. Muchos visualizan, en medio de esas manifestaciones, señales que se deben aprovechar como oportunidades para replantear a través de la innovación y generación de nuevos productos y servicios, el rumbo de las organizaciones en procura de atender los aspectos de insatisfacción de los clientes y demás partes interesadas. La mirada alterna y diferente frente a los escenarios descritos, permite superar los paradigmas de la gestión tradicional al considerar que el universo, la sociedad y las organizaciones comparten como sistemas abiertos un complejo entramado de variables interdependientes, generadoras de sinergia, pero también expuestas al desorden y al caos que reta a los líderes empresariales al diseño de estrategias de gestión con un abordaje y alcance transdisciplinar que les permita visualizar, intervenir y minimizar los efectos indeseables que pueden atentar contra la estabilidad y desarrollo de sus instituciones.

Published: May 2017

There are many definitions of narcissism. In terms of common points of definitions, it is possible to define narcissism as appreciation at the higher level that people feel towards themselves. The purpose of the study was to reveal the positive and negative effects of the concept of narcissism in sports organizations. In this research, methodological qualitative method called "descriptive", "field scanning", documentary or "documentary work" has been used. The concept of narcissism has been examined in the historical process and evaluated in the context of sports. There are many successful sports people in sports organizations who work in any position and show narcissism behaviors. In the literature, it has been determined that the occurrence of narcissism is generally investigated with negative effects, but positive effects of the occurrence of narcissism in sports organizations are more likely to be benefited from these positive effects than other organizations. As a result, it has been stated that the existence of controllable narcissism in the sports environment has an effect on giving some opportunities, especially taking advantage of the positive effects that can bring about narcissism in the sports environment where self-confidence can be regarded as an important skill.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file.
