ZrO core cluster with formula unit [ZrO(OH)(OH)(CHCOO)(SO)]·HO obtained under mild conditions.

During attempts to synthesize zirconium-based MOFs, we have obtained a new crystal structure of the cluster with ZrO core and formula unit [ZrO(OH)(OH)(CHCOO)(SO)]·HO. Unlike other systems, mild conditions were employed in this case; no strong acids or hydrothermal conditions were required. The molecular assembly in the crystal is characterized by strong O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connecting neighboring molecules, allowing the formation of a three-dimensional maze of tunnels with HO molecules stabilizing the framework.

Multi-model hydrological reference dataset over continental Europe and an African basin.

Although Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) have been widely adopted as important metrics for guiding scientific and policy decisions, the Earth Observation (EO) and Land Surface and Hydrologic Model (LSM/HM) communities have yet to treat terrestrial ECVs in an integrated manner. To develop consistent terrestrial ECVs at regional and continental scales, greater collaboration between EO and LSM/HM communities is needed. An essential first step is assessing the LSM/HM simulation uncertainty.

Structural empowerment, personal initiative, and job satisfaction in service employees: Exploring the mediating role of psychological empowerment.

Synthesis of PEGylated amphiphilic block copolymers with pendant linoleic moieties by combining ring-opening polymerization and click chemistry.

This study focused on synthesizing and characterizing PEGylated amphiphilic block copolymers with pendant linoleic acid (Lin) moieties as an alternative to enhance their potential in drug delivery applications. The synthesis involved a two-step process, starting with ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (CL) and propargylated cyclic carbonate (MCP) to obtain PEG-b-P(CL-co-MCP) copolymers, which were subsequently modified via click chemistry. Various reaction conditions were explored to improve the yield and efficiency of the click chemistry step.

Goos-Hänchen shift for coupled vibrational modes in a semiconductor structure.

We present a theoretical investigation of the Goös-Hanchen shift (GHS) experienced by acoustic and optical vibrational modes reflected and transmitted from the surfaces of a semiconductor thin film sandwiched between two semi-infinite media. Our study focuses on the impact of the incident angle on the GHS, considering the coupling between longitudinal and transverse modes. For acoustic vibrations, our findings reveal that the GHS can reach magnitudes up to seven times larger than the thickness of the thin film and up to 20 times larger than the incident wavelength.

How Education Shapes Indigenous Health Inequalities in the USA and Mexico.

Indigenous peoples around the world face significant health disparities relative to the dominant groups in their countries, yet the magnitude and patterns of health disparities vary across countries. We use data from the National Health Interview Survey and Mexican Family Life Survey to examine the health of Indigenous peoples in Mexico and American Indians and Alaska Natives in the USA and to evaluate how they fare relative to the majority populations in their countries (non-Indigenous Mexicans and non-Hispanic Whites, respectively). We assess disparities in self-rated health and activity limitations, with a focus on how Indigenous health disparities intersect with educational gradients in health.

Harmonious Passion at Work: Personal Resource for Coping with the Negative Relationship between Burnout and Intrinsic Job Satisfaction in Service Employees.

Research about harmonious passion as a personal resource that can have a protective effect in situations of stress and burnout is scarce but growing. Considering the job demands-resources (JD-R) model, the present study aims to address the above gaps by exploring the moderating role of harmonious passion at work in the relationship between burnout (physical fatigue, cognitive weariness, and emotional exhaustion) and intrinsic job satisfaction. The study sample consisted of 748 workers from service organizations (front-line employees) in southern Spain (Mage = 35.

Personal Beliefs about Illness Questionnaire-Revised (PBIQ-R): Spanish adaptation in a clinical sample with psychotic disorders.

Background: The way people with psychosis psychologically adapt and manage the diagnosis of such a mental disorder has been considered a key factor that contributes to the emergence and aggravation of emotional problems. These beliefs about illness can be very important due to their possible association with stigma and its implications in terms of loss of roles and social status. Given the importance of these personal beliefs about the specific diagnosis of psychosis, the Personal Beliefs about Illness Questionnaire (PBIQ) and PBIQ-R have been developed.
