Cyberbullying and digital ethics: A bibliometric analysis from a communication research perspective
This study examines the phenomenon of cyberbullying and digital ethics through a bibliometric approach using the Biblioshiny application in the R programming environment. The dataset, sourced from Scopus between 2014 and 2024, comprises 73 scientific articles that were systematically extracted and analyzed. The findings indicate a rising trend in cyberbullying, particularly its impact on adolescent mental health. Furthermore, the study highlights the critical role of digital ethics education and the practice of forgiveness as potential solutions for fostering a positive and supportive digital environment. This research uses bibliometric analysis to evaluate various aspects of the research, including an overview of the dataset, the number of annual publications, average citations per year, and author contributions. It also analyzed journals, countries, and identified key trends and themes in research. This approach provides a comprehensive insight into the development of research related to cyberbullying and digital ethics over a period of time
Enzymatic Synthesis of O-Heterocyclic Scaffolds by Cyclization & Ring Expansion Reactions
The assembly of complex molecular frameworks is one of the major tasks of an organic chemist. Over the past decades, numerous tactics for the construction of such complex entities have emerged. To fulfill these tasks, classical methods often require the use of orthogonal protecting group strategies to preserve the molecular integrity, however, these tactics become more and more challenging and insufficient as the molecule gains in complexity. In this regard, enzymes offer the possibility to manipulate or implement delicate functionalities without the need for protecting groups. With the tremendous developments in the field of protein engineering in order to easily access recombinant enzymes, biocatalysis is increasingly gaining importance in organic synthesis. Heterocycles are key parts of the synthetic-organic target scope and thus, their efficient assembly represents a pivotal task in modern chemistry where particularly the stereoselective construction of these building blocks poses a crucial and recurring challenge. As the general theme of this thesis, the presented work features the application of chemoenzymatic methods for the synthesis of heterocyclic building blocks where novel biocatalytic approaches have been developed that imitate non-natural, classical chemical processes. Especially the so-called Achmatowicz rearrangement, the oxidative ring expansion of furfuryl alcohols and amines to six-membered O- and N-heterocycles, respectively, plays a central role in the thesis. Both synthetic routes to access the required substrates, as well as their application in the Achmatowicz rearrangement to prepare pyranones and piperidinones, is described. Here, a novel method to prepare furfurylamines, as well as a new lipase-mediated Achmatowicz rearrangement, is presented. Moreover, the versatility of the newly developed methods is demonstrated in a multi-catalytic natural product synthesis. Additionally, in the perspective to extend the biocatalytic toolbox, investigations on a biocatalytic decomposition of diazo compounds as a trigger for sigmatropic oxonium ylide rearrangements is presented, where lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases are reported for the first time to act as a catalyst in a protein-mediated Kirmse rearrangement
Biokatalyyttiset ja kemoentsymaattiset O-heterosyklien synteesit allenoleista
Over the last three decades, development of environmentally friendly synthetic methods has become the preeminent objective in contemporary organic chemistry, following the introduction of the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry. Nature's enzymes offer immense potential for such sustainable synthetic strategies as highly efficient, selective and renewable biocatalysts, operating in mild reaction conditions.
Oxygen heterocycles are important structural units in many high-value synthetic targets such as active pharmaceutical ingredients. Allenes bearing nucleophilic functionalizations have emerged recently as versatile precursors for production of these O-heterocycles.The aim of the research presented in this thesis was the introduction of new, sustainable, biocatalytic methods for allenol cyclizations, to form highly functionalized furan and pyran motifs as valuable synthetic building blocks. Further, we aspired to combine the biocatalytic strategies in economical and ecological chemoenzymatic one-pot processes.
We found that biocatalytic halocyclizations of allenols were efficiently mediated by both heme-dependent and vanadium-dependent haloperoxidase-enzymes, furnishing a wide range of brominated O-heterocycles from alfa-, beta- and gamma-allenols. The bromovinyl structures formed in the haloalkoxylations were an obvious target for further valorizations, prompting applications combining well-established Pd cross-coupling reactions in one-pot processes with the biocatalysis to reach arylated dihydrofurans in step-efficient manner.
In an expansion into heterogeneous catalysis, recently pioneered enzyme-metal nanoparticle biohybrid materials were implemented as dual-active catalysts for the one-pot halocyclization/cross-coupling process, efficiently mediating both reaction steps as a bifunctional catalytic species. Even more remarkably, biohybrids combining lipases and silver nanoparticles together were applied as sole, highly selective, catalysts for cascade processes combining kinetic resolution hydrolysis of an allenic acetate with cycloisomerization of the resulting allenol, producing enantiopure dihydrofurans.Luontoystävällisten synteettisten keinojen kehityksestä on tullut tärkein tavoite orgaanisessa kemiassa viimeisten kolmen vuosikymmenen aikana Vihreän Kemian Kahdentoista Periaatteen julkistuksen seurauksena. Luonnon entsyymit tarjoavat suunnattoman potentiaalin näiden kestävien synteettisten menetelmien kehitykselle erittäin tehokkaina, selektiivisinä ja uusiutuvina biokatalyytteinä, jotka toimivat miedoissa reaktio-olosuhteissa.
Happi-heterosyklit ovat tärkeitä rakenteita monissa arvokkaissa synteettisissä kohdemolekyyleissä, kuten vaikuttavissa lääkeaineissa. Alleenit, joihin on liittyneenä nukleofiilisiä funktionaalisia ryhmiä, ovat hiljattain nousseet esiin näiden O-heterosyklien monipuolisina rakennuspalikoina.Tässä väitöskirjassa esitellyn tutkimuksen tavoite oli kehittää uusia, vihreitä, biokatalyyttisiä allenolien syklisointi-reaktioita synteettisesti hyödyllisten furaani- ja pyraani-rakenteiden muodostamiseksi. Lisäksi, pyrimme yhdistämään kehitettyjä biokatalyyttisiä keinoja taloudellisesti ja ekologisesti kannattavissa kemoentsymaattisissa yhden astian prosesseissa.
Selvitimme, että sekä hemi- että vanadiumhaloperoksidaasi-entsyymit toimivat tehokkaina biokatalyytteinä allenolien halosyklisoinneille, tuottaen laajan valikoiman bromattuja O-heterosyklejä alfa-, beta- ja gamma-allenoleista. Näissä haloalkoksyloinneissa muodostuneet bromivinyylirakenteet ovat ilmiselviä kohteita jatkoreaktioille, mikä johti niiden yhdistämiseen yhden astian prosesseissa hyvin tunnettujen Pd kytkentäreaktioiden kanssa tuottaen aryloituja dihydrofuraaneja prosessivaiheet minimoiden.
Laajennuksena heterogeeniseen katalyysiin, hiljattain innovoituja entsyymejä ja metalli-nanopartikkeleita yhdistäviä biohybridimateriaaleja käytettiin kaksoisaktiivisina katalyytteinä kehitetyssä yhden astian halosyklisointi-ristikytkentäprosessissa. Biohybridejä pystyttiin kaksoistoimintansa ansiosta käyttämään katalyytteinä prosessin molemmissa reaktiovaiheissa. Vielä merkittävämpää oli lipaasit ja hopea-nanopartikkelit yhdistävien biohybridien käyttö ainoina, hyvin selektiivisinä, katalyytteinä yhtäaikaisessa alleenisen asetaatin kineettisen resoluution hydrolyysin ja siinä tuotetun allenolin sykloisomeroinnin yhdistävässä prosessissa, jossa tuotetaan enantiopuhtaita dihydrofuraaneja

Coding Synthetic Chemistry Strategies into Bacterial Designer Cells
Following a synthetic chemistry blueprint for the valorization of lignocellulosic platform chemicals, this study showcases a so far unprecedented approach to implement non-natural enzyme modules in vivo. For the design of a novel functional whole cell tool, two purely abiotic transformations were incorporated into a recombinant bacterial host that allows production of complex lactone building blocks. This whole cell system streamlines the synthetic cascade, eliminates isolation and purification steps, and provides a high degree stereoselectivity that has so far been elusive in the chemical methodology.</p
