Smart leadership - wise leadership: Environments of value in an emerging future
No full textThere is a strong link between organisational culture and profit after all a happy workforce is a productive workforce. Yet a culture of inertia rather than innovation prevails in many organisations. Wise leaders, however, know how to work with the grain of human value and worth, harnessing it, so as to add shared value both for the organisation and for the good of society. So, how can astute leaders set the right conditions for creativity and cultivate non-economic goods, such as time and relationships, that make for a happy, effective workforce? The author proposes the notion of organisational culture as 'environments of value' wherein inner value translated into external value is embedded within the triple bottom line and indeed an awareness of how an organisation is like a force field: it exercises power and leaves a footprint. This construct informs the emerging concept of Shared Value as requiring five literacies about: Shareholder value and return for risk; Value for the social environment linked to respect for the natural environment; Inner value of those in the enterprise, which, when unlocked, releases energies and adds value; Nurture of non-quantifiable qualities that promote human flourishing; Understandings of how power relations distort the way organisations operate He clearly signposts the link between promoting an environment of value within which these literacies flourish and the added value for the organisation arising from such a culture.</p

Wickham Steed as a Foreign Correspondent
No full text The one-time editor of the London Times looked upon journalism as “something larger than the getting and the publication of news.” The author of this article, a professor of history whose research for many years has centered on foreign and war correspondence, interviewed Steed shortly before the latter's death. </jats:p
Minimizing polymorphic risk through cooperative computational and experimental exploration
No full textWe combine state-of-the-art computational crystal structure prediction (CSP) techniques with a wide range of experimental crystallization methods to understand and explore crystal structure in pharmaceuticals and minimize the risk of unanticipated late-appearing polymorphs. Initially, we demonstrate the power of CSP to rationalize the difficulty in obtaining polymorphs of the well-known pharmaceutical isoniazid and show that CSP provides the structure of the recently obtained, but unsolved, Form III of this drug despite there being only a single resolved form for almost 70 years. More dramatically, our blind CSP study predicts a significant risk of polymorphism for the related iproniazid. Employing a wide variety of experimental techniques, including high-pressure experiments, we experimentally obtained the first three known non-solvated crystal forms of iproniazid, all of which were successfully predicted in the CSP procedure. We demonstrate the power of CSP methods and free energy calculations to rationalize the observed elusiveness of the third form of iproniazid, the success of high-pressure experiments in obtaining it, and the ability of our synergistic computational-experimental approach to “de-risk” solid form landscapes
Activating [4+4] photoreactivity in the solid-state via complexation: from 9-(methylaminomethyl)anthracene to its silver(I) complexes.
No full textThe [4 + 4] photoreactivity of the anthracene derivative 9-(methylaminomethyl)anthracene (MAMA) has
been investigated in solution, gel medium and in the solid state. While quantitative formation of the
cyloaddition photoproduct was achieved upon irradiation at λ = 365 nm of ethanol solutions of MAMA,
only partial and slow conversion was detected in gels of low molecular weight gelators, and solid-state
reactivity was not observed due to the unfavourable relative orientation of the anthracene moieties in the
crystal. In hexafluorophosphate, tetrafluoroborate and nitrate silver(I) complexes, however, 9-(methylaminomethyl)
anthracene exhibits a more favourable mutual orientation for the aromatic fragments, and
[4 + 4] photoreactivity resulted. All compounds were structurally characterized via single crystal and/or
X-ray powder diffraction and by Raman spectroscopy; this last technique proved effective in detection of
the photoproduct in all solid state complexes
