Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of CdS-MOF MIL-101 (Fe) Composite: Characterization and Photocatalytic Performance.

The present study outlines the synthesis of cadmium sulfide-metal-organic framework (CdS-MOF) MIL-101 (Fe) heterojunctions achieved via fast microwave-assisted reactions. Thus, different CdS-MOF MIL-101 (Fe) ratios were prepared to study their effectiveness as photocatalysts. These compounds were employed in the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV and visible irradiation.

The Effect of Ultrasound on the Extraction and Functionality of Proteins from Duckweed ().

The inclusion of protein in the regular human diet is important for the prevention of several chronic diseases. In the search for novel alternative protein sources, plant-based proteins are widely explored from a sustainable and ecological point of view. Duckweed (), also known as water lentil, is an aquatic plant with potential applications for human consumption due to its protein content and carbohydrate contents.

Mental Health Burden of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Healthcare Workers in Four Latin American Countries.

The aim of the study was to assess the mental health burden of the COVID-19 pandemic in healthcare workers in four Latin American countries in 2020.An online survey was carried out with 1721 participants from Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Mexico in 2020. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling method was used to recruit voluntary participants.
