Nucleophile-Catalyzed Additions to Activated Triple Bonds. Protection of Lactams, Imides, and Nucleosides with MocVinyl and Related Groups

Additions of lactams, imides, (S)-4-benzyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one, 2-pyridone, pyrimidine-2,4-diones (AZT derivatives), or inosines to the electron-deficient triple bonds of methyl propynoate, tert-butyl propynoate, 3-butyn-2-one, N-propynoylmorpholine, or N-methoxy-N-methylpropynamide in the presence of many potential catalysts were examined. DABCO and, second, DMAP appeared to be the best (highest reaction rates and E/Z ratios), while RuCl3, RuClCp*(PPh3)2, AuCl, AuCl(PPh3), CuI, and Cu2(OTf)2 were incapable of catalyzing such additions. The groups incorporated (for example, the 2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl group that we name MocVinyl) serve as protecting groups for the above-mentioned heterocyclic CONH or CONHCO moieties. Deprotections were accomplished via exchange with good nucleophiles: the 1-dodecanethiolate anion turned out to be the most general and efficient reagent, but in some particular cases other nucleophiles also worked (e.g., MocVinyl-inosines can be cleaved with succinimide anion). Some structural and mechanistic details have been accounted for with the help of DFT and MP2 calculations.

LUDOLITERACY Informe sobre la alfabetización mediática en el juego digital. Experiencias en Europa

El informe que a continuación presentamos recoge 18 experiencias, proyectos, actividades,investigaciones o políticas más significativas que se realizan en Europa relacionadas con la alfabetización mediática en el contexto de los videojuegos (ludoliteracy). La ludoliteracy tiene como finalidad potenciar las capacidades y competencias analíticas, reflexivas y creativas alrededor del juego digital. Se trata, en conjunto, de propuestas que permiten al ciudadano (joven o adulto, profesional o usuario) y a la sociedad en general ser más conscientes de nuestros propios placeres, tener capacidad crítica y competencia creativa en el campo específico de los juegos digitales.El objetivo final del informe es ofrecer recomendaciones en un campo socialmente controvertido y económicamente situado a la cabeza de las industrias culturales pero institucionalmente emplazado en los márgenes de las políticas educativas estatales y europeas.

Les TIC aplicades a la història de la infermeria

La cerca d'informació i el pensament crític són competències transversals que es consideren bàsiques per als estudiants universitaris. Aquestes dues competències s'han pogut desenvolupar en el marc d'una activitat denominada cerca i lectura crítica de documents històrics, que es va incloure dins dels crèdits pràctics de l'assignatura Història de la Professió. Les tasques consistien a fer una cerca bibliogràfica a través de les bases de dades més habituals per la Infermeria, obtenir un document històric, fer-ne una lectura crítica i confeccionar un informe escrit. Presentem l'activitat que es va oferir a tots els alumnes de segon semestre d'Infermeria (grups M6 T6), la seva metodologia i els resultats de la seva implementació, que mostren un grau molt elevat de satisfacció en l'alumnat i la seva utilitat en el foment de la lectura crítica.

Målarpoeten Ellen Thesleff : teknik och konstnärligt uttryck

The aim of this thesis has been to illustrate the multifaceted talent in Ellen Thesleff's (1869 - 1954) work with particular emphasis on her technique and artistic expression. Why did Ellen Thesleff work withso many techniques? How did the technique affect the expression and what characterizes it? It would also be of interest to gather some idea of Ellen Thesleff's position among other artists. The investigation covers a representative selection of about 60 pictures, using nine different techniques, primarily as oils, woodcuts and monumental painting. The pictures illustrate three periods of time, the natural (1890 - 1905), the colourful (1906 - 1927) and the free period (1928 -1950). I describe the pictures in regard to their conception and subject matter and scrutinize their formal creation. Thereafter, I investigate the painting technique and artistic expression of each picture and position it, where applicable, in relation to other art. Ellen Thesleff's artistic quality is discussed in relation to her techniques and expression. Thesleff consciously chooses different techniques for related subjects in order to vary the expression. The progressing evolution within individual techniques and a cross-fertilization between them has evidently contributed to raising her artistic quality. I have studied how the techniques influence expression and found it possible to identify certain characteristic styles during the three periods: first a natural painting technique which reminds one of both French realism, paintings reflecting the Nordic mood and atmosphere, and symbolism, ascetism and synthetism; later an expressive Thesleff colourism with brilliant over- and underpainting in contrasting colours and last a free decorative painting in lines, with symbolistic undertones. Most characteristic is the lyrical expression which seems to be a common theme throughout Thesleff's entire artistry. I have found that Ellen Thesleff in her works had herown personal style compared to her contemporaries. Despite deep knowledge of styles and techniques she continually creates art from her inner self and with her own personal brush signature.

Antimicrobial resistance patterns of Haemophilus influenzae isolated from patients with meningitis in São Paulo, Brazil

From 1989 to 1995, a total of 391 Haemophilus influenzae isolates were recovered from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of hospitalized patients in São Paulo, Brazil. The majority of strains were isolated from infants aged less than 5 years. Strains belonging to biotype I (64.7%), biotype II (34.5%) and biotype IV (0.76%) were detected. Ninety-nine percent of these strains were serotype b. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for ampicillin, chloramphenicol and ceftriaxone. The ß-lactamase assay was performed for all strains. The rate of ß-lactamase producer strains ranged from 10 to 21.4% during a period of 7 years, with an overall rate of 13.8%. Of the 391 strains analyzed, none was ß-lactamase negative ampicillin resistant (BLNAR). A total of 9.7% of strains showed resistance to both ampicillin and chloramphenicol; however, 4% of them were resistant to ampicillin only and 2% to chloramphenicol. All strains were susceptible to ceftriaxone and the MIC90 was 0.007 µg/ml, suggesting that ceftriaxone could be an option for the treatment of bacterial meningitis in pediatric patients who have not been screened for drug sensitivity.
