s was more notable over time and in studies sponsored by industry. Generalizability of ASM clinical trials to certain subgroups should be further examined.Salvia species are frequently used in traditional medicine and are a source of diterpenoid antioxidants. In this study, the hydroperoxide radical scavenging activity of seven known abietane diterpenoids (ADs), isolated from Salvia barrelieri, are investigated using a quantum chemical approach. The ADs are 7-oxoroyleanone-12-methyl ether (1), 7a-acetoxyroyleanone-12-methyl ether (2), royleanone (3), horminone (4), 7-acetylhorminone (5), cryptojaponol (6), and inuroyleanol (7). It was found that formal hydrogen transfer is the main mechanism of the antiradical activity of these ADs in nonpolar environments, whereas the single electron transfer mechanism of anion states is favored in aqueous environment.

The HOO• scavenging activity of compounds 1-5 is minor in all of the studied media, however 6 and 7 exhibit excellent antiradical activity in aqueous solution. Remarkably, the HOO• scavenging activity of compound 7 is substantially higher than that of Trolox, the reference antioxidant the calculated rate constant was 122.3 times higher in polar and 6.1 times higher in nonpolar environments, respectively. Consistently 7 is a promising radical scavenger in physiological environments.The current population of Colombia has a genetic heterogeneity resulting from different migrations from other continents and within the country. In addition, there are small groups in their territory that have remained isolated and therefore have a different genetic pool in relation to that of the neighbouring urban populations. This population stratification must be considered in forensic analysis, being more complex for markers with marked intercontinental differentiation. In this study, population differentiation in Colombian admixed, native, and Afro-descendant populations was evaluated for a group of 38 indels described for forensic use. Allelic frequencies and parameters of forensic relevance were determined in each of the groups defined based on population differentiation analyses. In addition to the differences found between population groups, the results show that the set of 38 indels analysed could be useful in studies of individual identification in Colombia. The exclusion power presented by this set of markers suggests the need for joint use with other markers, being able to complement the STRs in paternity cases. High levels of both power of discrimination and exclusion were found when complementing the 38 HID-indels with a second multiplex, for a total of 83 indels.Shaded 2D images often create an illusion of depth, due to the shading information and assumptions regarding the location of the light source. Specifically, 2D images that are lighter on top usually appear convex while images that are darker on top, usually appear concave, reflecting the assumption that light is coming from above. The process of recovering the 3D shape of a shaded image is called Shape from Shading. Here we examined whether the pupil responds to the illusion of depth in a shape from shading task. In three experiments we show that pupil size is affected by the percept of depth, so that it dilates more when participants perceive the stimulus as concave, compared to when they perceive it as convex. This only happens if participants make a judgment regarding the shape of the stimulus or when they view it passively but are aware of the different shapes. No differences in pupil size were found with passive viewing if participants were not aware of the illusion, suggesting that some aspects of shape from shading require attention. All stimuli were equiluminant, and the percept of depth was created by manipulating the orientation of the shading, so that changes in pupil size could not be accounted by changes in the amount of light in the image. We posit, and confirmed it in a behavioral control experiment, that the perception of depth is translated to a subjective perception of darkness, due to the "darker is deeper" heuristic and conclude that the pupillary physiological response reflects the subjective perception of light.<br /><br /> Palliative care is characterised as a holistic, interdisciplinary and humanised approach to care. It transcends the traditional bio-medical perspective in health through a bio-psycho-social and spiritual approach. Holistic point of view in palliative care is essential, and needs to be consistently hi-lighted to nursing students to improve end of life care.<br /><br /> To describe nursing students' experience in a palliative care unit in Santiago, Chile.<br /><br /> A qualitative phenomenological study utilising purposive sampling of 10 nursing students from a Chilean university was undertaken, who completed their final year in a palliative care unit between 2017 and 2019.<br /><br /> Data were collected using in-depth interviews, which were conducted, recorded, transcribed and analysed according to Streubert-Carpenter method. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Universidad de los Andes, Chile.<br /><br /> Three main themes were identified in the data with their consequent units of meaning; these were experiences from all participanntributes to student nurses' personal and professional development. It provides multiple tools related to the care of terminally-ill patients and their families. It is recommended to undergraduate nurses have the opportunity to experience palliative care throughout curriculum and that they learn to embed theory to practice.In the present study, a magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) was synthesized for the extraction of harmaline from Peganum harmala by dispersive solid-phase microextraction (DSPME). The MMIP for selective and intelligent extraction of harmaline with excellent functionality and high selectivity was synthesized using the sol-gel method with functionalized superparamagnetic core-shell nanoparticles, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as a cross-linker, methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer, and 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as a porogen. To study the properties and morphology of the coated polymer, FT-IR spectroscopy, FESEM, TEM images, and VSM were used. The DSPME-HPLC-UV equipment was used to quantify and analyze the data obtained from harmaline extraction. In this research, the efficiency of the synthesized polymer in harmaline extraction was modeled and optimized using the response surface methodology based on central composite design (RSM-CCD). In addition, for modeling the isotherm of harmaline sorption by the MMIP, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations were used.
