, is a very common solvent for NMR and other types of spectroscopy. Quantum mechanics is increasingly used to calculate such spectra to aid assignment and the solvent is here normally simulated as a continuum rather than by explicit inclusion of one or more chloroform molecules. But what are the features of the hydrogen bonds that form from chloroform to other acceptors?

The Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on all aspects of people's lives, including the economic aspect. Among the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic felt by most people in terms of the economy are; income decreased until they were forced to lose their jobs. In difficult conditions like this, not a few people are trying to make ends meet without paying attention to ethics. This is due to the pressure of difficult circumstances and the absence of an understanding of the importance of applying Islamic ethics in work and/or entrepreneurship. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic was also felt by the majority of residents of Central Dibal, Dibal Village, Ngemplak District, Boyolali Regency. In order to anticipate various unethical actions in work and entrepreneurship, it is necessary to socialize about Islamic entrepreneurship ethics. The aim is to educate the public about the importance of ethical principles of Islamic entrepreneurship, especially in unfavorable circumstances as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic. This socialization activity was carried out using the lecture method from the resource persons and continued with questions and answers and discussions. Residents of Central Dibal feel a number of benefits from the implementation of this community service activity. Among the benefits obtained are; (1) people get comprehensive knowledge about ethics in doing business or entrepreneurship in an Islamic way; (2) the public is aware of the importance of understanding entrepreneurship in an Islamic way in order to avoid sustenance that is not blessed; (3) the community feels the importance of applying Islamic entrepreneurship ethics in various conditions, even though the economic conditions are difficult in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic that hit.

Le chercheur et le juge : des conditions de la recherche en milieu judiciaire
Authors: Noreau Pierre 
Published: September 2023

Les travaux menés sur le droit et sur la justice dans des perspectives inspirées par les sciences sociales et humaines révèlent souvent la nature même du droit en tant que mode de connaissance et surtout mode de pensée. Elles font également apparaître une tension irrésolue entre la justice et le juste. Cette tension s’exprime implicitement dans la relation ambiguë qui lie le juge et le chercheur. Elle dévoile la logique de projets différents, fondés, d’un côté, sur la quête de la vérité juridique et, de l’autre, sur la compréhension empirique du monde. Alors que le droit favorise la définition d’un monde prévisible, les sciences sociales acceptent le caractère incertain des interprétations qu’elles offrent du monde juridique et judicaire. S’y confrontent des modes de connaissance distincts. La recherche de la certitude s’y oppose à l’incertitude des hypothèses. L’office du juge et le projet du chercheur divergent ainsi, sur le plan épistémologique. Il en va de même en regard de la justice, abordée en tant qu’activité sociale. Alors que la reconstruction juridique du monde est une nécessité de la décision judicaire, le chercheur s’intéresse plutôt aux mécanismes concrets de la décision. L’exigence de rationalité auquel se soumet le juge se trouve dès lors replacée dans son contexte empirique : le juge est un être situé; le tribunal, une « organisation »; le procès, un champ de relations où s’opposent des acteurs précis (juges, avocats, procureurs et justiciables). Une justice abstraite et sacralisée s’oppose ainsi, sur le plan des perspectives, à une justice située, construite socialement. Juges et chercheurs se trouvent alors liés et séparés à la fois, par la nécessité de leur indépendance mutuelle.

Published: September 2023

Pode-se considerar que a valoração é uma etapa essencial para o processo de negociação de qualquer ativo, pois esta etapa pode fornecer referências e limites para precificação. Neste contexto, pode-se afirmar que sem tal etapa, não é possível fazer uma negociação com parâmetros fidedignos e aceitáveis de rentabilidade. Assim, considerando uma abordagem de valoração baseada no custo, para o caso das patentes, há se observar a necessidade se acompanhar e monitor os custos históricos relacionados ao desenvolvimento do invento, bem como os custos relacionados à manutenção desta junto ao INPI. Nessa perspectiva, este artigo tem o objetivo geral de analisar o estado da arte atual da valoração de patentes, identificando se já é aplicado o markup para valoração na abordagem baseada no custo. Para tanto, foram identificadas, através de uma revisão sistemática, ao nível de meta-síntese, os objetivos e possíveis lacunas nos estudos de publicações relacionados à valoração de patentes baseada no custo. Ao final, inferiu-se, de forma dedutiva, que não existe no estado da arte nenhuma publicação que ateste ou demonstre a aplicação do markup na valoração de patentes. De forma complementar, verificou-se também através do perfil das publicações, que estas estão relacionadas a produtos de pesquisas de programas de Pós-graduação Strictu Sensu (Mestrado e Doutorado).

Stress in general captures the process that individuals experience when environmental demands exceed the capacity of an individual, there is consistent evidence that stress is associated with a variety of negative health outcomes which happens through a variety of mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Zingiber officinale and the seeds of Aframomum melegueta extracts on some biochemical and immunological indices of electric foot shock stress-induced Wistar rats. Forty-five Wistar rats were randomized into nine groups (A-I) of five rats per group. Group A served as standard control and was not induced with electric shock, group B served as negative control hence they were induced and untreated, group C served as the positive control and was administered 2.9 mg/kg magnesium while groups D and E were administered 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight of Zingiber officinale extract and groups F and G were administered 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight of Aframomum melegueta extract respectively, while co extract of Z. officinale and A. melegueta was administered to group H and I at a dose of 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight respectively. At the end of the experimental period, the animals were sacrificed and the sera obtained were used for bioassay analysis. There was a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the cortisol levels of extract-treated groups from week 1 (2.56±0.55 µg/dl) to week 4 (1.85±0.30 µg/dl) compared to the untreated group (3.98±0.69 µg/dl) (week 1) and (8.57±1.31 µg/dl) (week 4) as well as the kidney function test. The liver function test revealed a significant decrease in liver biomarkers (Alanine Aminotransferase, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Alkaline Phosphatase, direct bilirubin, and total bilirubin) in the extract-treated groups compared to the untreated control group. The extract of the plants impacted the White blood cell and its differentials while there was a significant decrease in the C-reactive protein in the extract-treated group (2.38±0.22 mg/l) compared to the untreated control (9.93±1.50 mg/l). The findings from this research showed that the extracts of Z. officinale and A. melegueta affects some biochemical and immunological parameters and hence could serve as a potential therapeutic agent to fight against stress and its related disorders.
Comparison of two optimization algorithms (VOLOTM, SEQU) for CyberKnife® treatment of acoustic neuromas, lung metastases, and liver metastases
Authors: Thiele Martin , Galonske Kirsten , Ernst Iris 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIntroductionTwo optimization algorithms VOLO™ and sequential optimization algorithm (SEQU) are compared in the Precision® treatment planning system from Accuray® for stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) treatment plans. The aim is to compare the two algorithms to assess if VOLO™ is better of SEQU in certain treatment site.Materials and MethodsSixty clinical treatment cases were compared. Entities include Acoustic neuroma (AN), lung metastases, and liver metastases. In each entity, 10 SEQU and 10 VOLO™ treatment plans were optimized. The Ray‐Tracing calculation algorithm was used for all treatment plans and the treatments were planned exclusively with fixed cones (5–50 mm). The number of nodes, beams, total MU, and treatment time were compared. Conformity index (CI), new conformity index (nCI), homogeneity index (HI), gradient index (GI), and target coverage were examined for agreement. Dmin, Dmean, Dmax, D100%, D98%, and D2% dose in the target volume as well as exposure to organs at risk was checked. To determine peripheral doses, the isodose volumes from V10% to V98% were evaluated.ResultsAN treatment plans showed significant differences for the number of nodes, beams, total MU, treatment time, D98%, D100% for the target volume, and the doses for all organs at risk. VOLO™ achieved better results on average. Total MU, treatment time, coverage, and D98% are significantly better for VOLO™ for lung metastases. For liver metastases, a significant reduction in number of nodes, total MU, and treatment time was observed for VOLO™ plans. The mean target coverage increased slightly with VOLO™, while the mean CI deteriorated slightly. The averages of Dmin, Dmean, D98%, D100%, and V80% resulted in a significant increase for VOLO™.ConclusionThe results of the present study indicate that VOLO™ should be used in place of SEQU as a standard for AN cases moving forward. Despite the lack of significance in the lung and liver cases, VOLO™ optimization is recommended because OAR sparing was similar, but coverage, Dmin, and Dmean were increased, and thus better tumor control can be expected.

AbstractThe electroencephalographic (EEG) diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is not usually timely, and the detection is often performed several hours or days after the trauma, leading to a decrease in the accuracy of its detection. In this study, EEG signals are recorded immediately after mTBI by connecting a bipolar single lead to injured animals. And three types of EEG features, namely time domain, frequency domain, and nonlinear dynamics, are screened for optimal feature subset in mTBI detection. First, EEG signals of animals are recorded before and after establishing the animal model of mTBI. Second, signal preprocessing, feature extraction, and feature preprocessing are performed to obtain the full‐feature dataset, and 1442 feature subsets are obtained by 15 feature reduction algorithms extracted from combinations of 47 features. Ultimately, the support vector machines and K‐nearest neighbor algorithms are trained and tested respectively, and their performance is comprehensively compared to determine the optimal feature subset for mTBI detection. In the EEG dataset collected in this study, a total of eight feature subsets extracted from combinations of original 47 features and classification models with 100% accuracy are obtained. This study shows the perspective of immediately detecting mTBI based on a bipolar single‐lead EEG.
Multilevel Heterostructure of MoS2/GDYO for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Published: September 2023

AbstractLayered guest carbon materials could induce interlayer engineering, especially in regulating the interlayer structure and electronic properties of the hosts, leading to high performance in Li‐ion batteries (LIBs). Here, crystalline graphdiyne oxide (GDYO) is successfully inserted into MoS2 gallery via electrostatic self‐assembly. Experimental and theoretical data show that GDYO‐embedding induces interlayer engineering of MoS2 causing (i) enlarged MoS2 interlayer distance (supplying additional Li‐ion diffusion channels and storage sites and mitigating volume change), (ii) creating interfacial electric fields (significantly improving Li‐ion transport kinetics), (iii) limiting the electrochemical products of Mo and soluble lithium polysulfide (MoS2 structure regeneration), and (iv) regulation of the interfacial current density distribution during the electrochemical reaction (uniform Li plating). Moreover, through systematic ex situ and in situ investigations, the triple‐mechanism of Li‐ion storage is thoroughly elucidated in the heterostructure, emphasizing the positive effects of GDYO intercalation on the interfacial and interlayer storage as well as the phase conversion processes. Such a MoS2/GDYO anode exhibits high reversible capacity (≈652.6 mAh g−1 at 2.0 A g−1) and superior cyclic stability of 655.1 mAh g−1 after 1000 cycles. GDYO‐induced interlayer engineering based on host–guest chemistry can provide new ideas for designing effective heterostructures for high‐performance energy storage and conversion systems.
Breaking The Permeance‐Selectivity Tradeoff for Post‐Combustion Carbon Capture: A Bio‐Inspired Strategy to Form Ultrathin Hollow Fiber Membranes
Authors: Hillman Febrian , Wang Kaiyu , Liang Can Zeng , Seng Debbie Hwee Leng , Zhang Sui 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThin film composite (TFC) hollow fiber membranes with ultrathin selective layer are desirable to maximize the gas permeance for practical applications. Herein, a bio‐inspired strategy is proposed to fabricate sub‐100‐nm membranes via a tree‐mimicking polymer network with amphipathic components featuring multifunctionalities. The hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) brushes act as the roots that can strongly cling to the gutter layer, the PDMS crosslinkers function as the xylems to enable fast gas transport, and the hydrophilic ethylene‐oxide moieties (brushes and mobile molecules) resemble tree leaves that selectively attract CO2 molecules. As a result, a ≈27 nm‐thick selective layer can be attached to the hollow fiber‐supported PDMS gutter layer through a simple dip‐coating method without any modification. Furthermore, a CO2 permeance of ≈2700 GPU and a CO2/N2 selectivity of ≈21 that is beyond the permeance‐selectivity upper bound for hollow fiber membranes is achieved. This bio‐inspired concept can potentially open the possibility of scalable hollow fiber membranes production for commercial applications in post‐combustion carbon capture and beyond.
