description: The synthesis of (Z)-4-oxo-4-(arylamino)but-2-enoic acid (4) derivatives containing structural characteristics that can be used for the synthesis of several active molecules, is presented. Some of the butenoic acid derivatives (4a, 4c, 4e, 4i, 4j, 4k) are synthesized following literature procedures and at the end of the reaction. In addition, structures of all synthesized derivatives (4a–4m) were determined by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and IR spectroscopy. Carbonic anhydrase is a metalloenzyme involved in many crucial physiologic processes as it catalyzes a simple but fundamental reaction, the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and protons. Significant results were obtained by evaluating the enzyme inhibitory activities of these derivatives against human carbonic anhydrase hCA I and II isoenzymes (hCA I and II). Butenoic acid derivatives (4a–4m) strongly inhibited hCA I and II with Kis in the low nanomolar range of 1.85 ± 0.58 to 5.04 ± 1.46 nM against hCA I and in the range of 2.01 ± 0.52 to 2.94 ± 1.31 nM against hCA II.

description: Context: Risk prediction following acetaminophen (paracetamol, APAP) overdose is based on serum APAP, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. One recently proposed risk stratification tool, the APAPxAT multiplication product, uses either AST or ALT, whichever is higher, yet their interrelation is not well known following APAP-induced hepatic injury. Objective: To describe the kinetics of AST and ALT release into and disappearance from the circulation following APAP overdose. Materials and Methods: An observational case series of adult patients with peak AST or ALT > 100 IU/L attributable to APAP toxicity. Cases were identified by electronic search of hospital laboratory database and by discharge diagnosis corroborated by structured explicit medical record review. Results: Of 68 cases identified (mean age (SD): 39 (18) years, 63% female, and 21% ethanol co-ingested), 28 (41%) developed hepatotoxicity (peak AST or ALT > 1000 IU/L), 28 (41%) coagulopathy (international normalized ratio or INR > 2), and 21 (31%) both. Three patients (4%) were transferred for liver transplantation and ultimately six (8.8%) died. Serum AST and ALT activity rose in a closely aligned 1:1 AST:ALT ratio, but fell at distinctly different rates: AST activity fell with a half-life (interquartile range [IQR]) of 15.1 (12.2, 19.4) hours, and ALT 39.6 (32.9, 47.6) hours. Using an aminotransferase falling to below 50% of peak as the basis for discontinuing acetylcysteine would have resulted in antidotal treatment being stopped 24 (IQR: 9.6, 40) hours earlier (and in no cases later) using AST rather than ALT. Only six patients had an AST:ALT ratio greater than 2:1 at the time of acetylcysteine administration; of these six, four died and one survivor developed coagulopathy. Discussion: AST and ALT release into the circulation appears tightly linked and numerically similar, except in the sickest patients. Once the aminotransferases peak, AST returns to baseline more quickly. Conclusion: Either AST or ALT can be used for early risk stratification tools when only one is known. Any criterion for N-AC discontinuation should be based on the decline of AST rather than ALT, with a potential benefit measured in days.

description: Aims: To assess adherence to the United Kingdom’s (UK) National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for initiating and continuing glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Research Design & Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 7,133 primary care patients ≥40 years with a first prescription for GLP-1 receptor agonist following publication of NICE guideline/guidance. Patient characteristics and levels of clinical monitoring were assessed using descriptive analyses.Main outcome measures: Main outcomes were the proportion of patients initiating GLP-1 receptor agonist as part of NICE recommended dual- or triple-therapy regimens; the proportions meeting NICE triple therapy initiation criteria (glycosylated haemoglobin [HbA1c] ≥7.5% and body mass index [BMI] ≥35kg/m2) and the proportions continuing GLP-1 receptor agonist at 6 months according to NICE recommendations.Results: Mean age at initiating GLP-1 receptor agonist was 58.2 years (SD 9.4), BMI 38.4 kg/m2 (SD 6.8) and HbA1c 9.2% (SD 3.2%). Overall, only 25% of patients initiated GLP-1 receptor agonist as part of a NICE-recommended regimen. Of patients initiated on a recommended triple-therapy regimen, 50% (646/1284) fulfilled both NICE HbA1c and BMI initiation criteria. Approximately 18% (32/174) of patients continuing NICE-recommended dual-therapy at 6 months achieved a 1% reduction in HbA1c and 6.4% (33/515) continuing with NICE recommended triple-therapy achieved both NICE’s target reductions for HbA1c and body weight. About 8% of patients continuing exenatide as triple therapy (N=243) achieved both targets.Conclusions: Adherence to NICE guidance for initiating and continuing GLP-1 receptor agonists is low. However, lack of data on ethnicity (for assessing NICE’s BMI criteria) and on contraindications and/or hypersensitivity to other diabetes medication in the treatment pathway have limited our ability to fully assess adherence to GLP-1 prescribing.Further research is warranted to better understand general practitioners prescribing decisions given the cost of prescribing GLP-receptor agonists.

description: Context: The physicochemical properties of drugs such as partition coefficient play a major role in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems. The major obstacle lies in encapsulation of a drug with low partition coefficient into these systems.Objective: The objective of this study was to design and optimize a novel lipid-based delivery system with higher loading, improved pharmacokinetics consequently enhancing the oral bioavailability of drugs with low partition coefficient like valsartan.Materials and methods: The optimized formulation consists of Capryol 90, Cremophor RH 40, and Transcutol HP. Pseudo ternary phase diagrams were used to optimize the components and their concentrations in the formulation. Dissolution studies of the selected formulations were compared with plain drug and marketed product at three pH conditions (pH 1.2, 4.5 and 6.8). Pharmacokinetic parameters of optimized formulations were determined in Wistar rats and compared with that of plain drug.Results and discussion: The optimized formulation with a mean particle size of 50 nm showed significant improvement (p in vivo studies in Wistar rats revealed about 2.30- and 1.68-fold increase in the oral bioavailability and Cmax of valsartan from lipid-based formulation compared to plain drug.Conclusion: The engineered formulation strategy by type IV lipid-based formulations can be successfully exploited to improve the dissolution rate and oral deliverability of drugs like valsartan.

description: Objective: To examine differences in caregiver perceptions of task difficulty, depressive symptoms and life changes based on caregiver characteristics of gender, race and type of relationship to the person with stroke.Methods: A sample of 243 stroke caregivers (females n = 191; males n = 52; non-African Americans n = 184; African Americans n = 59; non-spouses n = 127; spouses n = 116) were interviewed by telephone within 8 weeks of the survivor’s discharge to home. Measures included the Oberst Caregiving Burden Scale (OCBS) for task difficulty, Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) for depressive symptoms and Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale (BCOS) for life changes. Three general linear models computed differences in OCBS, PHQ9 and OCBS scores.Results: Significant differences were found on the OCBS for females (p p p p = 0.047), spouses (p = 0.003) and African-American spouses (p = 0.010); and on the BCOS for females (p = 0.008) and non-African Americans (p = 0.033).Conclusions: Findings suggest that female and non-African American stroke caregivers are relatively more likely to experience task difficulty, depressive symptoms and negative life changes as a result of providing care. African American spouses were also at risk. Tailoring interventions based on caregivers’ characteristics may improve outcomes.

description: When operating in volatile environments, service-based systems (SBSs) that are built through dynamic composition of component services must be monitored in order to guarantee the response times of the SBSs. In particular, the critical path of a composite SBS, i.e., the execution path in the service composition with the maximum execution time, should be prioritised in cost-effective monitoring as it determines the response time of the SBS. In volatile operating environments, the critical path of a SBS is probabilistic. As such, it is important to estimate the criticalities of the execution paths and the component services, i.e., the probabilities that they are critical, to decide which parts of the system to monitor. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to the identification of Probabilistic Critical Path for Service-based Systems (PCP-SBS). PCP-SBS takes into account the probabilistic nature of the critical path and calculates path criticalities in the context of service composition. We evaluate PCP-SBS experimentally using SBSs that are synthetically composed based on a real-world Web service dataset.

In volatile operating environments, the critical path of a Web application is probabilistic. As such, it is important to estimate the criticalities of the execution paths, i.e., the probabilities that they are critical, to decide which parts of the system to monitor. We propose a novel approach to the identification of Probabilistic Critical Path for Service-based Web Applications (PCP-SWA), which calculates the criticalities of different execution paths in the context of service composition. We evaluate PCP-SWA experimentally using an example Web application. Compared to random monitoring, PCP-SWA based monitoring is 55.67% more cost-effective on average.

description: A new tailor-made colorimetric chemosensor 1, containing pyridine and benzothiazole moieties connected through an azo (–N = N–) linkage has been synthesised. In 9:1 (v/v) aqueous THF (pH 7.0 HEPES buffer), it showed a conspicuous naked-eye colour change upon binding to Ni2+ (colourless to light green) and AcO−  (colourless to orange) resulting in their ratiometric sensing. The cation and anion recognition property of the chemosensor 1 was monitored by UV–vis spectral analysis and 1H NMR titrations.
Probing the terrestrial planet-forming zone: Utilizing high spectral resolution, spatial resolution, and sensitivity

description: In order to characterize the innermost regions of planet-forming disks, we require instrumentation with high spectral resolution, high spatial resolution, and high sensitivity. Today’s state-of-the-art instruments (e.g., CRIRES+, GRAVITY, JWST-MIRI) now/will offer these capabilities, but the real opportunity lies in combining instruments with different strengths. In this talk, I will focus on what we have learned about protoplanetary disks from such instruments in the past, provide an example of current work, and discuss the future opportunities that can come from combining CRIRES+, GRAVITY(+), and JWST-MIRI observations. Together, these instruments can shed light on the dust and gas structure and the chemical abundances in the terrestrial planet-forming regions in a way that would be very difficult or impossible using only one instrument or method.

description: Microbial resistance to the available drugs poses a serious threat in modern medicine. We report the design, synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial evaluation of new functionalized 2,3-dihydrothiazoles and 4-thiazolidinones tagged with sulfisoxazole moiety. Compound 8d was most active against Bacillis subtilis (MIC, 0.007 µg/mL). Moreover, compounds 7c–d and 8c displayed significant activities against B. subtilis and Streptococcus pneumoniae (MIC, 0.03–0.06 µg/mL and 0.06–0.12 µg/mL versus ampicillin 0.24 µg/mL and 0.12 µg/mL; respectively). Compounds 7a and 7c–d were highly potent against Escherichia coli (MIC, 0.49–0.98 µg/mL versus gentamycin 1.95 µg/mL). On the other hand, compounds 7e and 9c were fourfolds more active than amphotericin B against Syncephalastrum racemosum. Molecular docking studies showed that the synthesized compounds could act as inhibitors for the dihydropteroate synthase enzyme (DHPS). This study is a platform for the future design of more potent antimicrobial agents.

description: This paper is premised on a conceptual framework that attempts to draw theoretical and practical connections between sustainability, resilience and adaptation. The framework is explored through a case study of the corporate real estate (property) strategies of Goldman Sachs (a multinational investment banking and investment management company) developed over the course of the consolidation and development of its corporate headquarters. This case seeks to identify the existence and nature of the relationships by and between sustainable corporate real estate strategies, resilient operations planning and the firm's adaptive capacity. A secondary proposition seeks to evaluate whether the capacity of the firm to adapt and be resilient to changing conditions has been positively advanced by the firm's sustainable corporate real estate strategies. The findings support the proposition that these connections do exist, as well as the proposition that sustainability was promoting adaptive capacity and operational resilience. However, it remains an open question to what extent these practices and capacities are deterministic of one another. This paper sets the stage for future research that seeks to measure and model organizational adaptive capacity and to understand the potential co-benefits that may serve the interests of firms who struggle to rationalize the costs of sustainability.

description: OBJECTIVES: Health technology reassessment and disinvestment can be difficult due to uncertainties regarding available evidence. Pathology testing to investigate cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency is a strong case in point. We conducted a 3-month economic evaluation of five strategies for diagnosing and treating cobalamin deficiency in adult patients hypothetically presenting with new unexplained fatigue in the primary care setting. The first consultation per patient was considered. Screening tests other than serum cobalamin were not included. METHODS: A cost-effectiveness analysis was undertaken using a decision tree to represent the diagnostic / treatment pathways, with relevant cost and utility scores assigned to different stages in the evaluation process. Input parameter values were estimated from published evidence, supplemented by expert opinion, with sensitivity analysis undertaken to represent parameter uncertainty. RESULTS: Ordering serum vitamin B12 to assess cobalamin deficiency among patients with unexplained fatigue was not cost-effective in any patient population, irrespective of pretest prevalence of this deficiency. For patients with a pretest prevalence above 1 percent, treating all with oral vitamin B12 supplements without testing was most cost-effective, whereas watchful waiting with symptoms monitoring was most cost-effective for patients with lower pretest prevalence probabilities. CONCLUSIONS: Substantial evidence gaps exist for parameter estimation: questionable cobalamin deficiency levels in the fatigued; debatable treatment methods; unknown natural history of the condition. Despite this, we reveal a robust path for disinvestment decision making in the face of a paradox between the evidence required to inform disinvestment compared with its paucity in informing initial funding decisions.

description: We report a flexible method to functionalize highly transparent graphene oxide (GO) film with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Nonlinear absorption and refraction of the hybrid films are measured, which are strongly enhanced and tunable by different AuNP concentrations compared to both GO and AuNP-only samples. The enhanced nonlinearity is due to the effective functionalization of the hybrid films, which is verified by the ultraviolet-visible and Fourier-transform infrared spectra. Our low-loss hybrid GO-AuNP films provide a solid-state material platform for diverse nonlinear applications. The functionalizing method can serve as a universal strategy to manipulate the physical properties of hybrid GO.

description: We explore the phenomenon commonly known as halo assembly bias, whereby dark matter haloes of the same mass are found to be more or less clustered when a second halo property is considered, for haloes in the mass range 3.7× 1011-5.0 × 1013 h-1M⊙. Using the Large Suite of Dark Matter Simulations (LasDamas) we consider nine commonly used halo properties and find that a clustering bias exists if haloes are binned by mass or by any other halo property. This secondary bias implies that no single halo property encompasses all the spatial clustering information of the halo population. The mean values of some halo properties depend on their halo's distance to a more massive neighbour. Halo samples selected by having high values of one of these properties therefore inherit a neighbour bias such that they are much more likely to be close to a much more massive neighbour. This neighbour bias largely accounts for the secondary bias seen in haloes binned by mass and split by concentration or age. However, haloes binned by other mass-like properties still show a secondary bias even when the neighbour bias is removed. The secondary bias of haloes selected by their spin behaves differently than that for other halo properties, suggesting that the origin of the spin bias is different than of other secondary biases.

description: Sulfamerazine and sulfaguanidine are clenched with p-nitrobenzoyl chloride and the products obtained are reduced to NaxS in ethanol–water. Novel sulfonamides (6a–g and 9a–g) were synthesized by the reaction of these reduced products (4 and 8) with various sulfonyl chlorides (5a–g). The structures of these compounds were characterized using spectroscopic analysis (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HRMS) technique. Antimicrobial activity of sulfonamides (3, 4, 7, 8, 6a–g and 9a–g) was evaluated by the agar diffusion method. These compounds showed antimicrobial activity against tested microorganism strains (Gram-positive bacteria, clinic isolate and yeast and mold). Compounds 9d, 9e, 9a, 6d and 6e showed particularly antimicrobial activity against tested Gram-positive (Bacillus cereus and B. subtilis) and Gram-negative (Enterobacter aerogenes) bacteria.

description: RX J0648.0-4418is a compact star with a spin period of 13.2 s. It is either the most rapidly rotating white dwarf known or a slowly rotating neutron star. Here, we report on the first searches for coherent pulsar-like radio emission from RX J0648.0-4418, both for sporadic bursts and steady periodic emission. No such emissionwas detected, with our limits suggesting that no such mechanism is active. We further searched our data for fast radio bursts to a dispersion measure corresponding to a redshift of ~12. We did not detect any such events.

description: Home Economics (HE) teachers can have a central role in teaching sustainable development (SD) to young adolescents through everyday household management and the promotion of personally and globally sustainable well-being. How well the teachers cope with this task is not well known. The objective of this study was to survey Finnish HE teachers' perceptions of their current practice, coping, and future intentions in terms of teaching SD. Enablers and inhibitors to carrying out this task were further investigated. Findings from this survey suggest that HE teachers have adopted sustainability at a personal level, but often lack the resources and incentives to teach it. Ways to promote cross-curricular projects and wider integration of SD into HE are discussed.

description: This work deals with the commonly studied cyclic oligosaccharide and gains importance as it is entered on a drug delivering carbohydrate and provides insight into the oligosaccharide complex–biomolecular interaction. The binding of a flavone, baicalein, to β-cyclodextrin and calf thymus DNA is studied. The binding of baicalein to calf thymus DNA in the presence of β-cyclodextrin is analysed using the UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The mode of binding and structure of the baicalein–β-cyclodextrin complex are reported. The role of the structure and the stoichiometry of the inclusion complex of baicalein–β-cyclodextrin in its influence on DNA binding are analysed. Highlights • This paper deals with the binding of a flavone, baicalein to β-cyclodextrin and/or DNA. • The inclusion complexation between baicalein and β-cyclodextrin is analysed. • The stoichiometry and the binding strength of the inclusion complex is reported. • The role of β-cyclodextrin in tuning the binding of baicalein to DNA is emphasized. • Spectroscopic and docking analysis are used to articulate the results.

description: The hydrophobic attraction describes the well-known tendency for nonpolar molecules and surfaces to agglomerate in water, controlled by the reorganization of intervening water molecules to minimize disruption to their hydrogen bonding network. Measurements of the attraction between chemically hydrophobised solid surfaces have reported ranges varying from tens to hundreds of nanometers, all attributed to hydrophobic forces. Here, by studying the interaction between two hydrophobic oil drops in water under well-controlled conditions where all known surface forces are suppressed, we observe only a strong, short-ranged attraction with an exponential decay length of 0.30 ± 0.03 nm - comparable to molecular correlations of water molecules. This attraction is implicated in a range of fundamental phenomena from self-assembled monolayer formation to the action of membrane proteins and nonstick surface coatings.

description: Capsule Blackcap Sylvia atricapilla populations from the Azores archipelago show morphological differences to continental birds which are consistent with the ‘Island Rule’.Aims The morphology of insular vertebrates is usually the result of the evolution in their particular environment and leads to predictable morphological patterns, according to the Island Rule. We test the predictions of the Island Rule, using the Blackcap of the Azores archipelago as our model.Methods We compared morphological variation (body size and wing shape) of populations from the nine islands of the Azores to continental birds, using multivariate indexes. Also, we looked at the relationship between these patterns and possible insular ecological drivers of morphological divergence.Results Our findings are concordant with Island Rule predictions, as in general birds from the Azores are larger than continental populations, especially birds from the most distant islands. Wing shape also differs significantly, as Azorean Blackcaps tend to have rounder wings than continental birds with a migratory-like phenotype.Conclusion Overall, we conclude that the observed morphological patterns in Blackcap in the Azores conform in general to the Island Rule predictions.
A simple and accurate method for calculation of the structure factor of interacting charged spheres

description: Calculation of the structure factor of a system of interacting charged spheres based on the Ginoza solution of the Ornstein-Zernike equation has been developed and implemented on a stand-alone spreadsheet. This facilitates direct interactive numerical and graphical comparisons between experimental structure factors with the pioneering theoretical model of Hayter-Penfold that uses the Hansen-Hayter renormalisation correction. The method is used to fit example experimental structure factors obtained from the small-angle neutron scattering of a well-characterised charged micelle system, demonstrating that this implementation, available in the supplementary information, gives identical results to the Hayter-Penfold-Hansen approach for the structure factor, S(q) and provides direct access to the pair correlation function, g(r). Additionally, the intermediate calculations and outputs can be readily accessed and modified within the familiar spreadsheet environment, along with information on the normalisation procedure.
