Chiral conjugated materials with curved topologies hold significant promise for advanced optoelectronic applications. Among these, bowl-shaped subphthalocyanine (SubPc) aromatics are particularly noteworthy due to their superb optoelectronic properties and synthetic versatility. Despite their potential, the development and application of inherently chiral SubPcs as functional materials have been hampered by the scalability and feasibility limitations of current high-performance liquid chromatography methods.

To date, no valid instruments are available for Spanish populations to evaluate forgiveness within marital relationships. This study aims to adapt and evaluate the Marital Offense-Specific Forgiveness Scale (MOFS), comparing the behavior of the scale in two cultural contexts: Spain and the United States.

Materials And Methods: An analytical, retrospective study of patients receiving intralesional steroid treatment with triamcinolone acetonide as a result of refractory caustic esophageal stricture was carried out. Demographic variables, stricture characteristics, number of dilations, steroid injections, and dilation score (no.
Although smartphone ownership among minors has become an important social phenomenon, its impact on children's and adolescents' well-being, as well as the mechanisms by which this might take place are not yet sufficiently well-established. To date, no research has examined the effect of smartphone ownership on the well-being of minors through the consumption of influencer-generated content, nor has it explored the effectiveness of the main prevention strategies employed by parents in this context. To fill those gaps, 800 Spanish minors (50% female) aged from 8 to 16 years old (M = 12.

The trend of photovoltaic efficiencies (PCEs) for free-base and metallo Pcs followed the order Zn(II)Pc>Mg(II)Pc≫H2Pc ≈ Ru(II)Pc regardless of the peripheral substitution. Higher efficiencies (4.
