Does the digital economy promote or inhibit income inequality?

Digitalisation and technological developments are profoundly changing the socioeconomic structure of society and people's lifestyles, which may have a significant impact on the distribution of income among different groups of people. This study conducted a quantitative investigation into the impact of the digital economy on income inequality based on the skill bias theory. First, empirical model analysis showed that digital economy has a linear dampening effect on income inequality and that there is no non-linear relationship.

A Review on the Mechanism and Structure-activity Relationship of Resveratrol Heteroaryl Analogues.

Resveratrol is one of the most interesting naturally-occurring nonflavonoid phenolic compounds with various biological activities, such as anticancer, neuroprotection, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. However, there is no clinical usage of resveratrol due to either its poor activity or poor pharmacokinetic properties. Heteroarenes-modified resveratrol is one pathway to improve its biological activities and bioavailability, and form more modification sites.

Dehydroxylative Sulfonylation of Alcohols.

Described here is the RP/ICHCHI-promoted dehydroxylative sulfonylation of alcohols with a variety of sulfinates. In contrast to previous dehydroxylative sulfonylation methods, which are usually limited to active alcohols, such as benzyl, allyl, and propargyl alcohols, our protocol can be extended to both active and inactive alcohols (alkyl alcohols). Various sulfonyl groups can be incorporated, such as CFSO and HCFSO, which are fluorinated groups of interest in pharmaceutical chemistry and the installation of which has received increasing attention.

Design, Synthesis, and Anti-Breast Cancer Activity of Novel Fluorinated 7--Modified Genistein Derivatives.

Background: Genistein has been limited in clinical application due to its low bioavailability, extremely poor liposolubility, and fast glycosylation rate, though it possesses anti-breast cancer activity. Therefore, the discovery of novel genistein derivatives is an urgency.

Objective: To enhance the anti-breast cancer activity of genistein, a series of novel fluorinated genistein derivatives were synthesized.

Synthesis and application in asymmetric catalysis of P-stereogenic pincer-metal complexes.

P-stereogenic pincer-metal complexes are one of the most interesting pincer type organometallic compounds. Many kinds of this type of complexes were synthesized and used as catalysts in asymmetric catalysis. On the basis of our work in this field, this paper reports the recent progress in P-stereogenic pincer chemistry, including the synthesis of P-stereogenic pincer ligands, the synthesis of P-stereogenic pincer-metal complexes, and the achievements in P-stereogenic pincer-metal complex catalyzed asymmetric synthesis.
