EnCOrE (Encyclopédie de Chimie Organique Electronique): an Original Way to Represent and Transfer Knowledge from Freshmen to Researchers in Organic Chemistry
peer reviewedEnCOrE is an original proposal which is expected to allow to share and transfer knowledge in organic chemistry. The system will use MIDES a software, with a peer-to-peer architecture, which will allow to set up a technological and methodological frame to allow collaborative building of knowledge in between chemists. Learning GRID's services will help for Experimental electronic laboratory "LabCOrE" as well as for predictive computational tools
Метафора в публицистике: репрезентация вариантов языковой картины мира
Метафора как универсальное средство концептуализации действительности в том или ином виде свойственна всем языковым картинам мира независимо от национально-культурной принадлежности. В статье рассматриваются особенности политических метафор, включённых в публицистическую картину мира, которая является разновидностью языковой картины мира и представляет часть концептуальной картины мир
endo-3,3-Dimethyl-4-oxobicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-yl methanesulfonate
The relative configuration of the endo isomer of the title compound, C9H14O4S, has been established and the conformation of the diastereoisomer is discussed. The five-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation. The conformation of the methanesulfonate substituent is stabilized by intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing results in alternating layers of polar methanesulfonates and stacked bicyclohexanyl rings parallel to ab
Life coaching : the attempt of new middle class for self-change
This thesis aims to analyze the pursuit of the new middle class for a self-change via
coaching practice, by depicturing the habitus of this class and the coaching sessions.
For this study, I made a qualitative research in Istanbul based on interviews done with
both the life coaches and coachees, and document analysis of the web sites of the
life coaches and the books written by them. My research findings show that coaching
can be conceptualized as a practice, which is used by the members of the new middle
class habitus to reconstruct their rooted dispositions. I depict the habitus of the new
middle class through the reproduction strategies of education, gender, and omnivore
taste. Within this scope, I trace the formation of a new doxa, which is formed through
coaching mentality, and panopticon, which is constructed as a new self-disciplining
mechanism. Also, I look at the agency of coaching practice in the ways it shapes a
new self-narration and an emotional language for coachees, by way of using a series
of spiritual or rational methods. This process of self-change is investigated as a
production of reciprocally displayed identity performances, resting upon developing
interaction along the sessions. Within this context, my thesis is based upon two main
arguments. The first is that the members of the new middle class engage in a process
of habitus transformation, in order to reach their socially founded ideal selves. The
other is the finding that the coachees’ acquirement of the new self-perception, that
is imposed by the coaches through the regime of truth, relies on a understanding in
compatible with the existing system.Abstract ....................................................................................................................... iv

A shared future:Chemistry's engagement is essential for resilience of people and planet
Strengthening resilience—elasticity or adaptive capacity—is essential in responding to the wide range of natural hazards and anthropogenic changes humanity faces. Chemistry's roles in resilience are explored for the first time, with its technical capacities set in the wider contexts of cross-disciplinary working and the intersecting worlds of science, society and policy. The roles are framed by chemistry's contributions to the sustainability of people and planet, examined via the human security framework's four material aspects of food, health, economic and environmental security. As the science of transformation of matter, chemistry is deeply involved in these material aspects and in their interfacing with human security's three societal and governance aspects of personal, community and political security. Ultimately, strengthening resilience requires making choices about the present use of resources as a hedge against future hazards and adverse events, with these choices being co-determined by technical capacities and social and political will. It is argued that, to intensify its contributions to resilience, chemistry needs to take action along at least three major lines: (i) taking an integrative approach to the field of ‘chemistry and resilience’; (ii) rethinking how the chemical industry operates; and (iii) engaging more with society and policy-makers
