    \ua9 The Author(s) 2024. New polymorphs of (2-(chloro(pyrrol-2-ylidene)methyl)pyrrole)-difluoro-borane (1) and (2-(chloro(4-ethyl-3,5-dimethyl-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene)methyl)pyrrole)-4-ethyl-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrolato)-difluoro-borane (2) were identified using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The new polymorph of 1 crystallises in the triclinic, P-1 space group with an asymmetric unit comprising two crystallographically-independent molecules (Z′ = 2). The differences between this structure and that of the known polymorph of 1 are attributed to the formation of two distinct dimer motifs in each polymorph and the packing between these dimer units. The new polymorph structure of 2, exhibits a similar asymmetric unit to the known form, comprising 3 molecules (Zʹ = 3). The two structures differ in the orientation of the molecules within the trimeric asymmetric unit and the manner in which these trimers pack along the crystallographic [010] direction. Graphical Abstract: The triclinic polymorph of 8-chloro BODIPY exhibits an asymmetric unit with two crystallographically-independent molecules. (Figure presented.

    The social weaving of a reading atmosphere

    No full text
    This paper discusses how public library readers in Almeida Garrett, Porto, create a reading atmosphere, focusing on meanings associated with aural conditions. Through a qualitative, single case study, ethnographic and interview techniques were applied. Readers’ actual practices and discourses, through a theoretical sample, and those of managers, staff and architects were analysed; a spatial analysis was conducted within the framework of social inequalities and power relations. The paper proposes the concept of reading atmosphere and suggests that its social production is based on a tacit, informal code of conduct in which some regular readers played an influential role. Some recommendations on service provision are made

    Expanding the Genetic and Phenotypic Spectrum of <em>POLRMT</em>-Related Mitochondrial Disease

    No full text
    \ua9 2025 The Author(s). Clinical Genetics published by John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd.Mitochondrial diseases are a complex group of conditions exhibiting significant phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity. Genomic testing is increasingly used as the first step in the diagnostic pathway for mitochondrial diseases. We used next-generation sequencing followed by bioinformatic data analysis to identify potentially damaging variants in the POLRMT gene (NM_005035.4) in six new affected individuals. Structural protein analysis predicted the detrimental impact of variants on POLRMT protein structure. Patients show extended phenotypic abnormalities often presenting early in life with features including global developmental delay, cognitive impairment, short stature and muscular hypotonia. This study expands the genetic and phenotypic landscape of mitochondrial disease associated with POLRMT variants

    To each according to deeds : divine judgement according to deeds in second temple Judaism and in Paul's letters.

    No full text
    Paul's use of the motif of `judgment according to deeds' corresponds terminologically, rhetorically, and theologically with its use in second temple Judaism. In order to demonstrate this thesis, the author examines the tradition- history of the motif in the Jewish Scriptures, the OT Pseudepigrapha, and the Qum- ran literature. By the beginning of the common era `judgment according to deeds' is a widespread, fundamental theological axiom, applicable to a variety of rhetorical purposes. The motif has an important soteriological function within what is now commonly termed Jewish `covenantal nomism' (not legalism). This judgment does not entail a one-for-one recompense of good or evil deeds, but views works wholistically (i. e., as a whole either good or bad), and thus as revealing one's `way' of life or `heart. ' One's deeds do not earn or merit God's grace and salvation; nevertheless, one's recompense-the blessings or the curses of the covenant-will be congruent with ("according to") this pattern of behavior, since one's works reveal what is hidden in the heart, either loyalty or disloyalty to God and his covenant. Salvation by covenant mercy and judgment according to works are complementary. In both its form and function Paul's use of the motif places him firmly within this same tradition-history. In addition, he maintains the wholistic perspective of deeds common to the Jewish tradition. Although the term `covenantal nomism' is not appropriate for Paul's thought (Christ replaces the Torah as the defining locus of electing grace), the fundamental structure of grace and works, election and obedience, salvation and judgment, remains remarkably similar. In Paul also one is justified by grace and judged according to works, issuing in eternal life or wrath. The juxtaposition of justification and judgment causes Paul no theological tension, because he inherited a way of speaking and thinking about judgment according to deeds which similarly related them without paradox

    Some Byzantine / Greek Influences on the Early Work of the Anatomist Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564)

    No full text
    500 years after the birth of Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) it is appropriate to commemorate this first modern anatomist, doctor, scholar, and author. Different from other Vesalius-commemorations, however, we like to examine what - until the 16th century - did happen to the knowledge of anatomy as described by Galen (130-210) whose apparent “faults” were so effectively corrected by Vesalius. The intention of Andreas Vesalius - possibly after the authoritative Iranian physician and writer Rhazes (854-925 CE) - to correct Galen’s mistakes, may have been helped greatly by his initial contacts with the original Byzantine / Greek texts of Galen that had been translated by Alessandro Benedetti (1450-1512), professor of Anatomy and Surgery at the University of Padua, during his medical practice on the Greek island of Crete. This may also serve as an example of early East-West cooperation.Endorsed by: Saint-Petersburg State University,2014; Saint-Petersburg State Polytechnic University, 2014; © Varzin S.A., Diodorova T.I., 201
