Sexual function in female business leaders: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: The aim of the study was to provide a golden opportunity to access sexual function in women who act as leaders in companies through the use of an instrument validated for this purpose (the Female Sexual Function Index). The number of women in leadership positions has been gradually increasing, which shows the need for women to prepare themselves to reorganize the different aspects of life, including social, family, and personal factors as well as sexuality.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving female executives employed in private companies who answered the Female Sexual Function Index.

Dissimilar forests along the Rio Doce watershed call for multiple restoration references to avoid biotic homogenization.

An environmental disaster caused by the rupture of a mining tailings dam has impacted a large area of the Rio Doce watershed in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, resulting in unprecedented damage at spatial and temporal scales. The Atlantic Forest is one of the world's most important biodiversity hotspots. A long history of land use conversion has resulted in a highly fragmented landscape.

CO Capture by Hydroxylated Azine-Based Covalent Organic Frameworks.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) RIO-13, RIO-12, RIO-11, and RIO-11m were investigated towards their CO capture properties by thermogravimetric analysis at 1 atm and 40 °C. These microporous COFs bear in common the azine backbone composed of hydroxy-benzene moieties but differ in the relative number of hydroxyl groups present in each material. Thus, their sorption capacities were studied as a function of their textural and chemical properties.

HKUST-1 MOF in reline deep eutectic solvent: synthesis and phase transformation.

The fate of HKUST-1 (Cu(BTC), BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) in the green Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) reline (choline chloride/urea 1 : 2) was investigated, highlighting that not only reline can be used to make this MOF but also to transform it into another crystalline material. The synthesis of HKUST-1(reline) showing good textural properties and a particular rose morphology was indeed successfully achieved in this solvent. However, upon optimizing the reaction conditions such as concentration and metal/ligand ratio, it was found that another structure Cu(BTC)Cl also forms.

Design, Synthesis and Characterization of Nickel-Functionalized Covalent Organic Framework NiCl@RIO-12 for Heterogeneous Suzuki-Miyaura Catalysis.

A series of nickel-decorated covalent organic frameworks, NiCl@RIO-12, were prepared using the post-synthetic modification strategy, that is, by reacting NiCl with pristine RIO-12 under alkaline conditions. Interestingly, they retained their crystallinity and the amount of nickel incorporated could be tuned from 3.6 to 25 wt % according to the reaction conditions.
