J Intellect Disabil Res

Developmental Psychology and Socialization, University of Padova, Padova, Italy.

Published: January 2022

This editorial presents an introduction to and an overview of the current JIDR special issue on "Executive Function in Intellectual Disability." The articles included in this special issue provide a contemporary, in depth exploration of questions regarding the nature of EF in individuals with ID. Topics include the emergence of EF during early childhood in ID-related conditions, the influence of EF on other domains of development, and the relationship between EF and adaptation throughout the lifespan. This editorial synthesizes the findings presented in this special issue and identifies methodological challenges that researchers will continue to face in future investigations of this important area.

Efficient sacrificial-agent-free photosynthesis of HO from air and water represents the greenest, lowest-cost, most real-time avenue for HO production but remains a challenging issue. Here, we show a general and effective approach through a structural design on covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with asymmetric dual-function hybrid linkages for boosting the HO photosynthesis of the COFs. Through such design we can equip a COF with not only a catalytic active center but also a special function for isolating the D-A motif, which consequently endows the COF (CI-COF) built on asymmetric dual-function hybrid linkages with a significantly enhanced efficiency in the generation, transmission, and separation of photogenerated carriers, relative to the COF (II-COF and CC-COF) built on symmetric single-function single linkages.

Educating healthcare professionals about pharmaceutical promotion.

Indian J Med Ethics

January 2025

IMU Centre for Education, IMU University, Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA.

I read with great interest the editorial on the pharmaceutical company-healthcare relationship published in the April-June issue of this journal [1]. Clinical practice guidelines are increasingly used by physicians to guide treatment decisions, and the pharmaceutical industry focuses on influencing the authors of these guidelines. Almost one in four guideline writers with no disclosed ties may have potentially relevant undisclosed ties to pharmaceutical companies [2].
