Catalytic support effects have been widely studied as a key factor for creating highly active heterogeneous catalysts with limited amounts of rare metal elements. Recently, support effects of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) started to be investigated using their wide variety in pore size, electronic state, and selective adsorption property. Three types of support effects, namely molecular sieving, charge transfer, and substrate adsorption effects, have been reported on composite catalysts of metal nanoparticles supported on MOFs (M/MOFs). The current reports on heterogeneous catalysis in M/MOFs clearly demonstrated that both catalytic activity and product selectivity can be drastically enhanced and modulated by MOF supports through these support effects, and that application of MOFs as the supports is beneficial for creating novel high performance catalysts with metal nanoparticles. This minireview summarizes the catalytic properties and support effects observed on M/MOFs.

Background: Scedosporium apiospermum is a multidrug-resistant filamentous fungus that causes localized and disseminated diseases. Our group has previously described that metalbased complexes containing copper(II) or silver(I) ions complexed with 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6- dione (phendione) inhibited the viability of S. apiospermum conidial cells.

This article serves as a guide to the Tobacco-Free Generation policy (TFG) for policy-makers, drawing on experiences of negotiations regarding TFG in a wide number of jurisdictions. It explains the underlying concept: the highly addictive nature of nicotine prompts policy focus on preventing initial use by forbidding sales to those born after a prescribed cut-off birthdate, while resisting prohibition for those in older cohorts who may already be nicotine-dependent. The policy signals that there is no safe age for tobacco products.

Assistive technology (AT) professionals are in pressing need with nowadays growing aged/disabled population, so as well-designed higher education programs in this field. This study designed and implemented a case-based active learning approach within an undergraduate course related to AT in Hong Kong, and assessed its impact on enhancing student engagement over two academic years. A total of twelve multimedia patient case dossiers on six major physical disabilities were created.

Background: Cost-utility analyses commonly use two primary methods to value productivity: the human capital approach (HCA) and the friction cost approach (FCA). Another less frequently used method is the willingness-to-pay (WTP) approach, which estimates the monetary value individuals assign to avoiding an illness. In the context of foodborne illnesses (FBI), productivity loss represents one of the most significant economic impacts, particularly in developed nations.

Background: Moral case deliberation has been successfully implemented in multidisciplinary groups of secondary care professionals to support ethical decision making. It has not yet been reported for community pharmacists.
Aim: This study investigated whether moral case deliberation fosters moral reflectivity in community pharmacists.
