Insights on health policies from a political philosophy perspective.

Health policies play a crucial role in shaping people's well-being. While public health often relies on evidence-based policy to improve health outcomes, many non-scientific factors determine the health policy-making process. This article explores how public health advocacy can be strengthened by examining the relationship between political philosophy and the scientistic aspirations of public health.

- Different gold microstructures were created using supramolecular gold(i) compounds as templates and silver nanoparticles as reducing agents.
- The type of supramolecular assembly—neutral or ionic—determines whether the resulting gold shapes are microrods or spherical/square prisms.
- Solvents and conditions like temperature and reaction time significantly impact the morphology of the gold structures, with chloroform yielding defined star-like shapes.
We report the synthesis of an unprecedented mono-gold(I) phosphine complex based on a "two-wall" aryl-ethynyl extended calix[4]pyrrole. We describe and compare the binding properties of the parent 10α,20α-bis-aryl-ethynyl calix[4]pyrrole ligand and the prepared organometallic compound as receptors for tetraalkylammonium chloride salts in dichloromethane and acetone. We describe the results of H NMR, UV-Vis titrations and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments in dichloromethane and acetone, aiming to thermodynamically characterize the formed complexes.

- An electronic spectral and photophysical study was conducted on three gold(I) complexes with different heterocyclic chromophores: pyridine (pD), bipyridine (bD), and terpyridine (tD).
- The research measured key metrics like quantum yields of fluorescence and triplet state formation, as well as rate constants for processes such as intersystem crossing and internal conversion.
- Results indicated a strong correlation between the characteristics of the triplet state formation and the charge transfer dynamics of the complexes, revealing varying efficiencies in triplet state yields and intersystem crossing rates across the different chromophores.
The reaction of the gold polymers containing bipyridyl and terpyridyl units, [Au(C≡CCHN)] and [Au(C≡CCHN)], with the water-soluble phosphines 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.
