The relationship between children's emotional development tasks fulfilment and Strength and Difficulties Rutter Questionnaire assessment on elementary school-aged children's mental health.

Objective: To assess the emotional development of school-aged children.

Methods: The descriptive, analytical study was carried out on children of elementary schools in the Semarang City area in January 2022. Included were children aged 6-12 years with active elementary school status.

A photoswitchable "host-guest" approach for the selective enrichment of dimethoate from olive oil.

This work describes the development of a new selective photocontrollable molecularly imprinted-based sorbent for the selective enrichment/pre-concentration of dimethoate from spiked olive oil samples. To achieve this goal an improved molecularly imprinted strategy relying on the embedding of a functional monomer containing an azobenzene chromophore as light-responsive element, on the crosslinked tridimensional molecular imprinted network, has been assessed. To address the mechanisms underlying template recognition and uptake/release of the analyte from the functional imprinted material, computational studies using a quantum chemical approach, have been explored.

Site-dependent differences in both prelamin A and adipogenic genes in subcutaneous adipose tissue of patients with type 2 familial partial lipodystrophy.

Background: Type 2 familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD2) is characterised by loss of fat in the limbs and buttocks and results from mutations in the LMNA gene.

Aim: To evaluate the role of several genes involved in adipogenesis in order to better understand the underlying mechanisms of regional loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue (scAT) in patients with FPLD2.

Methods: In total, 7 patients with FPLD2 and 10 healthy control participants were studied.

The use of headspace solid phase microextraction for the characterization of volatile compounds in olive oil matrices.

Two different fibre coatings, for solid phase microextraction (SPME) sampling, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and poly(acrylate) (PA), were studied in order to test, for olive oil matrixes, two mathematical models that relate the directly proportional relationship between the amount of analyte absorbed by a SPME fibre and its initial concentration in the sample matrices. Although the PA fibre was able to absorb higher amounts of compounds from the olive oil sample, the equilibrium was reached later then with the PDMS fibre. In both cases, the amount of analyte present affected the time profile or the equilibrium time in two of the concentrations studied, 0.

Impact of malolactic fermentation on low molecular weight phenolic compounds.

A reversed phase liquid chromatography-DAD method is proposed for analysis of major non-flavonoid phenolic compounds in wines. The method employed a mixture of acetic acid, water and methanol as eluents and was used to evaluate the impact of malolactic fermentation in low molecular phenolic compounds. The wines analyzed underwent different treatments, like the addition of a pectolytic enzyme or lysozyme, and the way malolactic fermentation was carried out-spontaneously or with the inoculation of two different commercial lactic bacteria.
