A reaction of acyl chlorides derived from 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acids with piperazine allows the preparation of the corresponding 24-membered macrocycles in good yield. The structural and spectral properties of these new macrocyclic ligands were thoroughly investigated, revealing promising coordination properties towards f-elements (Am, Eu). It was shown that the prepared ligands can be used for selective extraction of Am(III) from alkaline–carbonate media in presence of Eu(III) with an SFAm/Eu up to 40. Their extraction efficiency is higher than calixarene-type extraction of the Am(III) and Eu(III) pair. Composition of macrocycle–metal complex with Eu(III) was investigated by luminescence and UV-vis spectroscopy. The possibility of such ligands to form complexes of L:Eu = 1:2 stoichiometry is revealed.

The Brazilian energy sector adopted a new regulation system in 2015 due to a system collapse threat. The system was changed to contractually incorporate firms’ economic-financial monitoring. This paper aims to assess the progress of this monitoring model toward achieving its goals. Thus, we proceed with a triangulation with three analyses. First, we analyse the literature to indicate if the economic-financial monitoring shows a hybrid form of adoption as suggested by the literature as the most suitable towards achieving regulatory goals. Second, we verify the perception of the economic-financial monitoring efficiency by the regulatory agency. Third, we evaluate the behaviour of some financial indicators before and after the new regulation. Our results show that, first, the economic-financial monitoring adopts a hybrid form which may drives better monitoring. Second, the perception of the regulator regarding efficiency of the financial monitoring model is favourable. Third, our results show that the sector leverage and profitability variances were significantly reduced after the implementation of financial monitoring which indicates less Asymmetric Information and consequently, better monitoring. In general, our results indicate some uncertainty reduction and more uniform behaviour of the entire sector after adopting an economic-financial monitoring system.

Introduction: High sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) is a strong predictor of adverse outcome during SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, its determinants remain partially unknown. We aimed to assess the relationship between severity of inflammatory response/coagulation abnormalities and hsTnT in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). We then explored the relevance of these pathways in defining mortality and complications risk and the potential effects of the treatments to attenuate such risk.Methods: In this single-center, prospective, observational study we enrolled 266 consecutive patients hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Primary endpoint was in-hospital COVID-19 mortality. Results: hsTnT, even after adjustment for confounders, was associated with mortality. D-dimer and CRP presented stronger associations with hsTnT than PaO2. Changes of hsTnT, D-dimer and CRP were related but only D-dimer was associated with mortality. Moreover, low molecular weight heparin showed attenuation of the mortality in the whole population, particularly in subjects with higher hsTnT.Conclusions: D-dimer possessed a strong relationship with hsTnT and mortality. Anticoagulation treatment showed greater benefits with regard to mortality. These findings suggest a major role of SARS-CoV-2 coagulopathy in hsTnT elevation and its related mortality in COVID-19. A better understanding of the mechanisms related to COVID-19 might pave the way to therapy tailoring in these high-risk individuals.

The history of the study of phosphorites is closely related to the personality of a native of Odessa, a graduate (from?) of the Imperial Novorossiysk University (Odessa), one of the first students of Volodymyr Vernadsky scientific school Yakov Vladimirovich Samoilov (1870-1925), professor of the Moscow Agricultural Institute and Moscow University, founder and first director of the Scientific Institute of Fertilizers, founder of the unique Museum of Agronomic Ores, initiator and head of the Commission for the Study of Phosphorites, participant of four International Geological Congresses

The purpose of this study was to design and experimentally test the effectiveness of a model for the formation of lifelong learning competencies in future lawyers in higher educational institutions. The study presents the author’s vision of the structure of lifelong learning competencies for lawyers identifies pedagogical conditions for the formation of lifelong learning competencies for lawyers. It is proved that the efficiency of formation of lifelong learning competences of future lawyers is considerably increased, provided that the basic types of active teaching methods and the latest information and computer technologies are used in the process of professional training. It is established that the most important pedagogical conditions for effective formation of lifelong learning competences are pedagogically-driven motivation of future specialists in the field of the right to formation and development of lifelong learning competences; introduction of methods that promote the formation and development of lifelong learning competences into the process of professional training; formation of professional qualities in future lawyers on the basis of conscious perception of the system of universal and professional values. The authors argue that an effective link between employers and higher educational institutions is needed to collect and analyse structural and functional changes in professional activity. Establishing and maintaining such a link will enable higher educational institutions to respond more effectively to changes in the labour market requirements and to ensure a high level of training for their graduates. https://doi.org/10.26803/ijlter.19.4.9

Accurate risk stratification in COVID-19 patients consists a major clinical need to guide therapeutic strategies. We sought to evaluate the prognostic role of estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV), a marker of arterial stiffness which reflects overall arterial integrity and aging, in risk stratification of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. This retrospective, longitudinal cohort study, analyzed a total population of 1671 subjects consisting of 737 hospitalized COVID-19 patients consecutively recruited from two tertiary centers (Newcastle cohort: n = 471 and Pisa cohort: n = 266) and a non-COVID control cohort (n = 934). Arterial stiffness was calculated using validated formulae for ePWV. ePWV progressively increased across the control group, COVID-19 survivors and deceased patients (adjusted mean increase per group 1.89 m/s, P p P P

The life path and scientific heritage of Thekla Efimovna Lapchik, a specialist in geology, lithology, stratigraphy and paleogeobotany, are highlighted. Her scientific activity is closely connected with the Institute of Geological Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, in which T. Yu. Lapchik worked from 1932 till retiring in 1970. She studied the cupriferous sandstones of the Donbas, the material composition of the placers of the Ukrainian shield, made a significant contribution to the stratigraphic study of the Permian and Triassic deposits of the platform part of the Ukrainian SSR, paleogeobotany (studied the Upper Triassic flora).

Esta abordagem dar-se-á seguido o fio condutor da compreensão nitzscheana da fabulação do real e suas implicações no discurso pós- moderno da ética. Apresentaremos como caracterização fundamental a ser delineada no primeiro capitulo, as críticas ás categorias da modernidade, que se dirigem á subjetividade e ao historicismo, além da saída pela arte (com as noções de dionisíaco e apolíneo). Essa saída se dará tracejando o aspecto nilistico da vontade de poder , isto é seu alcance desestruturaste, encontrando uma forma mais acabada no projeto emancipativo do além- do- homem, cujo cerne repousa na decisão, com o momento de assunção de responsabilidade. No segundo capitulo, será abordada a relação entre secularização e cristianismo e papel a ser desempenhado por este na medição dos conflitos culturais, feita a partir da caritas, na idade da interpretação. O terceiro e último capitulo analisará o nexo entre a compreensão. O terceiro da fabulação do real, em seu núcleo niilistico, e a caracterização de um discurso ético pós-metafísico.

The results of complex investigations of solar and interplanetary large-scale magnetic fields (LSMS) are set out. A rotation of sector structures of several types of LSMF was studied analysing evolution of their primary (main) rotation periods. It is confirmed the changing of Sun's rotation regime in the middle of century XX. To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
