Air oxygenation chemistry of 4-TBC catalyzed by chloro bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes of pyrazole based tridentate ligands: synthesis, structure, magnetic and computational studies

Four dinuclear bis(mu-Cl) bridged copper(II) complexes, Cu-2(mu-Cl)(2)(L-X)(2)](ClO4)(2) (L-X = N,N-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazole-1-yl)-methyl]benzylamine with X = H(1), OMe(2), Me(3) and Cl(4)), have been synthesized and characterized by the single crystal X-ray diffraction method. In these complexes, each copper(II) center is penta-coordinated with square-pyramidal geometry. In addition to the tridentate L-X ligand, a chloride ion occupies the last position of the square plane. This chloride ion is also bonded to the neighboring Cu(II) site in its axial position forming an SP-I dinuclear Cu(II) unit that exhibits small intramolecular ferromagnetic interactions and supported by DFT calculations. The complexes 1-3 exhibit methylmonooxygenase (pMMO) behaviour and oxidise 4-tert-butylcatechol (4-TBCH2) with molecular oxygen in MeOH or MeCN to 4-tert-butyl-benzoquinone (4-TBQ), 5-methoxy-4-tert-butyl-benzoquinone (5-MeO-4-TBQ) as the major products along with 6,6'-Bu-t-biphenyl-3,4,3',4'-tetraol and others as minor products. These are further confirmed by ESI- and FAB-mass analyses. A tentative catalytic cycle has been framed based on the mass spectral analysis of the products and DFT calculations on individual intermediates that are energetically feasible.

Uczenie działań komunikacyjnych poprzez bezpośrednią instrukcję

The article focuses on teaching and learning conversational actions in English as a FL in direct instruction based on the guided discovery observation of discourse models such as transcribed video discus-sions and conversations. The aim of the task is to develop students’ communicative awareness, which in turn allows them to find in dis-course those communicative actions which suit their communicative style and contribute to the development of their personal communicative competence. Discourse observation tasks are accompanied by project tasks such as classroom role plays and discussions and interviews with a foreigner in which students are expected to produce the observed communicative actions. The paper is based on a case study of one student’s performance in the selected two types of tasks, discourse observation tasks and an interview with a foreigner.

Padrões de atividade da ornitina decarboxilase (ODC) e sua regulação hormonal sob estresse de temperatura em Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera, Tephritidae)

Ornitina decarboxilase (ODC) (EC 4.1.1.17) é a primeira enzima que desencadeia a síntese das poliaminas putrescina, espermidina e espermina nas células. As poliaminas são cátions alifáticos envolvidos no controle de crescimento e são requeridas para uma variedade de eventos biológicos como síntese de proteína, replicação do DNA e divisão celular. No presente estudo, a atividade da ODC foi medida em ovo, larva, pupa, fêmea jovem e adulta de Anastrepha fraterculus. Durante o desenvolvimento de A. fraterculus, a atividade da ODC apresentou flutuações. Entre os estágios anteriores à emergência, o ovo teve a mais alta atividade específica, provavelmente devido à embriogênese que é caracterizada pela alta taxa de divisão celular. A atividade da ODC foi também altamente significativa em ovários e corpo gorduroso de fêmeas jovens possivelmente devido ao avanço da oogênese e vitelogênese. Parâmetros cinéticos (Km app e Vmax) para atividade da ODC foram determinados em pupa, larva e ovário de fêmeas jovens e apresentaram grande variação. A guanosina trifosfato (GTP) demonstrou afetar grandemente estes parâmetros cinéticos, sugerindo estarem ocorrendo modificações pós-traducionais. Fêmeas jovens (4 dias) de A. fraterculus também foram analisadas quanto ao efeito do estresse de temperatura (6ºC e 20/6ºC) e da aplicação tópica do hormônio juvenil isolados ou em conjunto. . Os principais resultados foram que a concentração de 500 ng e os tempos de incubação de 3, 7 e 18 horas aumentaram a atividade da ODC. As fêmeas mantidas a 6ºC e 20/6ºC tiveram atividade da ODC mais alta do que as fêmeas mantidas a 25ºC. O tempo de incubação de 1 hora com o HJ aumentou a atividade da ODC no tratamento de 6ºC, quando comparado com fêmeas mantidas apenas com o estresse de temperatura sem a adição do hormônio (controle). No entanto, no tratamento das fêmeas mantidas a 20/6ºC, somente os tempos de 3 e 18 horas de incubação com o HJ demonstraram aumento na atividade da ODC quando comparadas com o tempo de incubação de 1 hora e com as fêmeas mantidas sem a adição do hormônio (controle). Os machos não apresentaram diferença na atividade da ODC quando submetidos ao estresse de temperatura de 6ºC, mas as medidas do apódema ejaculatório foram maiores a 25ºC que a 6ºC. Estes resultados podem ser considerados como parte de um processo adaptativo a mudanças ambientais. Por último, observamos que as medidas dos ovários (comprimento e largura) de fêmeas jovens mantidas com o inibidor da ODC, -difluormetilornitina (-DFMO; 50mM) são diferentes significativamente quando comparadas com às medidas das fêmeas controle sem o inibidor. O conjunto desses resultados indica a importância da relação entre ODC, HJ e estresse de temperatura para a A. fraterculus. Como esta mosca é uma das piores pragas para a fruticultura brasileira, estes dados, além de contribuírem para um maior conhecimento de sua biologia básica, poderão também ser usados para a escolha de melhores estratégias de controle populacional.

Bogusław Śliwa (1944-1989) - działacz opozycji demokratycznej i "Solidarności" w Kaliszu

Bogusław Śliwa was born in Lvov on 6 October 1944. He graduated in law studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań in 1969. Following the completion of his prosecutor’s apprenticeship he worked, among others, in Wolsztyn, Świebodzin and – from 1975 – in Kalisz. On 22 August 1978 Śliwa was fired from the public prosecutor’s office because he had attempted to detect a person who murdered during the robbery committed by a Civic Militia officer. That time he established and maintained close contacts with activists of the Workers’ Defence Committee (KOR), among others: Jacek Kuroń, Mirosław Chojecki, Adam Michnik, Bronisław Geremek, Jan Lityński, Zofia Romaszewska and Zbigniew Romaszewski. In 1978 he began to cooperate with the Kalisz group of the Movement for the Defence of Human and Civil Rights (ROPCiO). In the early 1979 this group started to publish “Wolne Słowo” in which Śliwa was a co-editor. On 28 June 1979 in Poznań he was involved in founding the Social Self-Defence Club of the Wielkopolska and Kujawy Region. In September 1980, during strikes at the FWR “Runotex” and KZKS “Winiary” in Kalisz Śliwa was an expert representing the workers. On 29 September of that year, he arranged in Kalisz a meeting of representatives and delegates of enterprises in Kalisz aimed at appointing the Board of the Inter-Enterprise Founding Committee of the Independent Self-Governing Trade Union. He became the secretary. Bogusław Śliwa also engaged in setting up and developing an information team. He was informally responsible for developing an information and printing base. Bogusław Śliwa set up “NSZZ Solidarność” magazine where he published his own articles. He also founded the “Solidarność” Workers’ Community Centre in Kalisz. it is noteworthy that it was the only community centre in Poland established by „Solidarność”. In December the Nationwide Liaison Commission of „Solidarność” appointed him to the Committee for the Defence of Prisoners of Conscience established on 10 December of that year. He participated in the information meeting of the Independent Self-Governing Trade Union of Independent Farmers “Solidarność Wiejska” held in Staw, in Szczytniki commune. During that meeting “Solidarność Wiejska” led by Mieczysław Walczykiewicz requested the authorities to liquidate the “Świt” Agricultural Production Cooperative in Cieszyków, in Szczytniki commune. Bogusław Śliwa was involved in this successful event. It was the first liquidation of cooperative in Poland. On 11 January 1981 Śliwa co-organized the 1st Regional Convention of „Solidarność” Wiejska in Kalisz. Following the so-called Bydgoszcz events of 19 March 1981 he advocated the general strike. Due to his attitude, Śliwa was listed as one of 146 „Solidarność” activists executed by the 3rd “A” Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the authorities those activists presented radical views. On 30 June 1981 at the 1st General Delegates Convention of the Kaliskie province, Śliwa, as a delegate of the Kaliskie province, was appointed to the Regional Board of „Solidarność” – Southern Wielkopolska. In July Śliwa set up in Kalisz the underground branch of the Polish Democratic Party. In 1981 Śliwa was a delegate to the 1st National Delegates Convention of „Solidarność” and co-edited with Jan Lityński the document entitled: “Message to the Working People of Eastern Europe” originated by Henryk Siciński and adopted by the 1st National Delegates Convention. On 22 November he participated in the Warsaw-held meeting founding the Self-Governing Republic Clubs “Liberty – Equality– Independence” and signed the founding declaration. On 28 of that month he co-organized with Antoni Pietkiewicz a founding meeting of the Club in Kalisz. When martial law was declared he began to hide in Kalisz. Śliwa was arrested on 25 February 1982 and interned in Ostrów Wielkopolski and then in Gębarzew and Kwidzyn. After being released on 25 November 1982, he was immediately involved in the activity of the underground movement of „Solidarność”. He edited the first two issues of “Nasza Solidarność” magazine published in Kalisz. Śliwa co-invented and co-organized the 1st May march that was independent from the authorities’ one held in Kalisz in 1983. Consequently, he was temporarily arrested and detained in Ostrów Wielkopolski. On 7 June 1983 he was released from custody. The amnesty declared on 21 July 1983 caused that the investigation against him was discontinued. In July of the same year he co-founded the Inter-Regional Coordination Commission of the Independent Self-Governing Trade Union “Solidarność” Kalisz-Konin-Sieradz. As he could not find any work and he and his family were exposed to psychological harassment, he emigrated to Sweden on 30 December 1983. He worked, among other positions, as bookbinder. He was the board secretary of the Congress of Poles in Sweden. In 1984 he commented the death of priest Jerzy Popiełuszko in “Dagens Nyheter” daily. He was also interviewed by Radio Liberty. Śliwa commenced cooperating with representatives of the „Solidarność” Coordination Office in Paris, Brussels and Stockholm. On 18 April 1985 the Military Garrison Prosecutor’s Office in Wrocław initiated investigations against Śliwa, charging him with activities detrimental to political interests of the People’s Republic of Poland. Subsequently, on 10 July 1985 this public prosecutor’s office decided to issue an arrest warrant for him. On the same day the public prosecutor suspended criminal proceedings against him. In December 1985, after the courageous escape of two brothers, Adam and Krzysztof Zieliński, from Poland to Sweden, he helped them prevent their deportation and stay in their new homeland. He expressed his opinion on this issue on Swedish television and in “ Dagens Nyheter” daily. His intervention helped them legally stay in Sweden. In 1989 he arrived in Poland. During this short visit he met and talked with his colleagues from the so-called first „Solidarność”. Bogusław Śliwa died in Stockholm on 23 November 1989. He was buried there on 7 December 1989. On 18 October 2006 he was posthumously honoured by Lech Kaczynski, President of Poland, with the Order of Polonis Restitution. On 15 June 2007 Bogusław Śliwa was posthumously granted the title of an Honorary Citizen of Kalisz by the Town Council of Kalisz.
