Nitrogen Enriched Tröger's Base Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity for Heterogeneous Catalysis.

Heterogeneous catalysis is significantly enhanced by the use of highly porous polymers with specific functionalities, such as basic groups, which accelerate reaction rates. Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) provide a unique platform for catalytic reactions owing to their high surface areas and customizable pore structures. We herein report a series of Tröger's base polymers (TB-PIMs) with enhanced basicity, achieved through the incorporation of nitrogen-containing groups into their repeat units, such as triazine and triphenylamine.

How Arterial Embolization Is Transforming Treatment of Oncologic and Degenerative Musculoskeletal Disease.

How did the conflict affect the functioning of people with established mental health conditions (e.g.

and gene polymorphisms influence graft survival, and response to therapy in kidney transplantation.

Background: Antibody-mediated rejection is a significant cause of kidney transplant failure. Recent studies have shown that the MHC class I gene influences the transplantation outcome. However, the role of the primary receptor, NKG2D, has yet to be explored.

Healthcare students are faced with the issue of the rights of people with disabilities and the quality of services: Are we training future healthcare workers who overemphasize technology?

This research describes incorporating the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in training students at an Italian university. It also describes the perception of students on the rights of people with disabilities and the quality of services using the questionnaire the Well-Being at Work and Respect Right (WWRR), the objective is to compare the responses of students from the faculty of health sciences and health professionals human rights respect, organizational well-being, and job satisfaction in healthcare environments method: Cross-sectional study the data obtained were analyzed using the ANOVA test and Chi-SQUARE test results: University students have little recognition of the professional roles for the social and labor inclusion of users of health services, which promotes rethinking the type of training they receive conclusions: the findings show the need to incorporate in a more detailed way the principles of the CRPD in university training plans that promote an emphasis on disabilities based on human rights, despite the fact that the perception by students is optimistic in relation to respect for the rights of users in health services where they have done their training or practices, these results indicate a reevaluation of university training that gives a balance between technical skills but with an emphasis on human rights and social inclusion in health services.

Th.o.m.a.s.: new insights into theory of mind in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.

Previous studies indicated atypical Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at different ages. However, research focused on adolescents with ASD is still rare. This study aims to fill the gaps in the literature, by investigating ToM abilities in adolescents with ASD and in a group of typically developing ones.

Hydrophobic assembly of molecular catalysts at the gas-liquid-solid interface drives highly selective CO electromethanation.

Molecular catalysts offer tunable active and peripheral sites, rendering them ideal model systems to explore fundamental concepts in catalysis. However, hydrophobic designs are often regarded as detrimental for dissolution in aqueous electrolytes. Here we show that established cobalt terpyridine catalysts modified with hydrophobic perfluorinated alkyl side chains can assemble at the gas-liquid-solid interfaces on a gas diffusion electrode.
