This study reports the synthesis of the room temperature ionic liquid 1-propyloxy-3-ethoxyimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonamide for the extraction of bergapten and bergamottin from hydroalcoholic cosmetic samples by means of dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. Molecular structures of the final ionic liquid as well as intermediate products were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Analyses were performed with high performance liquid chromatography with subsequent diode array and fluorescence detection. The extraction procedure was optimized with the design of the experiment using a three level Box-Behnken approach. Applying the synthesized room temperature ionic liquid as extraction medium, the optimized workflow demonstrated high recoveries illustrating powerful isolation properties for furanocoumarins, which are comparable or even better than using typical extraction solvents. Moreover, the workflow was validated regarding instrumental limits, linearity, accuracy, repeatability and stability of analytes according to international guidelines. To test its applicability on a more complex matrix, hydroalcoholic cosmetic samples were analyzed. Despite highly complex matrices, accurate and precise quantification in the range of 0.04-1.25 μg mL-1 was achieved in spiked and unspiked samples, with bias less then 10% and RSD less then 12%.[This corrects the article DOI 10.1002/ped4.12053.].A data sample of events from proton-proton collisions with at least two jets, and two isolated same-sign or three or more charged leptons, is studied in a search for signatures of new physics phenomena. CSF-1R inhibitor The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb - 1 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV , collected in 2016-2018 by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The search is performed using a total of 168 signal regions defined using several kinematic variables. The properties of the events are found to be consistent with the expectations from standard model processes. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are set on cross sections for the pair production of gluinos or squarks for various decay scenarios in the context of supersymmetric models conserving or violating R parity. The observed lower mass limits are as large as 2.1 TeV for gluinos and 0.9 TeV for top and bottom squarks. To facilitate reinterpretations, model-independent limits are provided in a set of simplified signal regions.

Using a preventative approach, we investigated whether international subjective qualities of life are associated with resilience to adversity when culture is taken into account. Although resilience has been previously associated with good QoL, cross-cultural studies are scarce.

Sequential linear multiple regression models of WHOQOL SRPB data from 15 countries worldwide (

= 3,019) examined which qualities are most closely associated with resilience, when adjusting for culture and selected demographics. We also examined whether all cultures confirmed this positive association. Of 13 QoL facets identified from a literature summary, seven were associated with defining resilience and six reflected strategies for building resilience; these were tested together. Principal components analysis provided a dependent variable for resilience, covering inner strength and hope.

The final model explained 52% of resilience overall, of which QoL explained 37% and culture explained 12% (

< 0.0001). Being older thanHOQOL SRPB evidence could inform international policy designed to prepare vulnerable cultures that are threatened with environmental and health disasters.

Despite knowing that the practice of physical activity can positively influence the health of older people, there are variables such as the risk of dependency and the level of self-esteem that can mediate people´s quality of life. The objective of this study was to know the relationship between the risk of dependence and level of self-esteem in older people.

515 seniors between 60 and 90 years old were interviewed. A single measurement was made, using different scales and validated questionnaires (Rosenberg personal self-esteem scale, Barber test and Modified Baecke PAQ questionnaire). Statistical analyzes (with the SPSS v. 23.0 program) descriptive, ANOVA, linear regression analysis and correlations were performed.

89.1% had dependency risk, 32.6% were physically active and 43.3% had low self-esteem. The level of physical activity practice showed significant differences (p<0.001) favorable to active people, who had a lower risk of dependence, better self-esteem and lower consumption of medications than sedentary ones.

The practice of physical activity helps reduce drug consumption, which improves the self-esteem of the elderly and decreases the risk of dependence.

Scholarly output has typically been measured by citation-based metrics such as the Hirsch index (h-index). The Altmetric Attention Score has emerged as a substitute to measure digital attention given to a project. This study aims to determine whether there is any correlation between h-index and the Altmetric score in the plastic surgery literature.

Article metrics (full-text views, abstract views, PDF downloads, times e-mailed, Altmetric Attention Score, times tweeted, and number of citations by posts) were extracted from articles published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery over a 2-year period. Author metrics, including h5-index, were also collected. Pairwise correlations were performed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r).

A total of 1668 articles were published, with 971 included. Altmetric Attention Scores showed strong correlation with other article metrics (r = 0.48 to 0.97; p < 0.001) but weak correlation with h5-index (r = 0.14; p < 0.001) and sum of times cited without self-citation (r = 0.14; p < 0.001). It did not correlate with total publications, average citations per item, or sum of times cited. The h5-indexes showed strong positive correlation with other author bibliometrics (r = 0.66 to 0.97; p < 0.001); moderate correlation with times e-mailed (r = 0.41; p < 0.001); weak correlation with number of citations by posts (r = 0.10; p = 0.002); and no correlation with full-text views, abstract views, PDF downloads, and times tweeted.

The Altmetric Attention Score and conventional senior author bibliometrics have weak positive correlation at best and appear to have distinct but complementary roles in measuring scholarly output.
