Recull de propostes per minimitzar l'impacte negatiu de gènere del sistema de teletreball a l'Ajuntament de Barcelona

Finançat amb el projecte "Impacto de GÉnero del TEletrabajo y rutinas de COnfinamiento: más allá de lo obvio" (Ref. SUPERACOVID19_2.2.IGETECO) i a través de l'Ajuntament de Barcelona pel Servei d'Estudi sobre propostes per minimitzar l'impacte negatiu de gènere del sistema de teletreball a l'Ajuntament de Barcelona (exp.20002682)El present document recull les propostes d'actuació contingues a l'estudi Propostes per minimitzar l'impacte negatiu de gènere del sistema de teletreball a l'Ajuntament de Barcelona realitzat pel Centre d'Estudis Sociològics sobre la Vida Quotidiana i el Treball (QUIT) de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. L'emergència sanitària provocada per la Covid19 i el necessari confinament de la població per combatre la pandèmia ha significat, des del punt de vista de l'organització del treball, un canvi molt important cap a l'impuls de formes de treball a distància. Però aquest impuls del teletreball ha estat una resposta fruit de l'emergència, lògica davant la situació viscuda i, com a tal, no ha pogut ser planificada amb el temps i els mitjans necessaris

Determination of rimantadine in pharmaceutical preparations by capillary zone electrophoresis with indirect detection or after derivatization

International audienceRimantadine is synthetic analog of amantadine; both are antiviral agents used for prophylaxis and treatment of influenza A. A capillary zone electrophoretic (CZE) procedure for the determination of rimantadine has been developed. As the direct determination of rimantadine is poorly sensitive because the compound is almost transparent in the UV/Vis range, several indirect methods were studied. Two were found to be the particularly useful: (a) indirect detection using 5 mM 4-methylbenzylamine in 1:4 methanol-water as absorbing background electrolyte, with detection at 210 nm, and (b) derivatization of rimantadine with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonic acid in alkaline medium and subsequent determination of the derivative by CZE (40 mM tetraborate, pH 9.2, detection at 280 nm). Uncoated capillary tubing, 44 cm length ×75 μM i.d., was used for both determinations. The detection limits were 0.1 and 2 ppm for methods a and b, respectively. The methods were used to determine rimantadine in pharmaceutical products and for dissolution testing of Flumadin® tablets

Relaxometric, Thermodynamic and Kinetic Studies of Lanthanide(III) Complexes of DO3A-based Propylphosphonates

Development of the responsive probes is one of the most exciting topics in the contrast agent research. Design of the pH sensitive probes, for example, can be an important issue in the early cancer diagnostic and formation of pH maps.[1] This can be reached by introduction of different functional groups such as phosphonates at the fourth nitrogen of the DO3A molecule. [2] Two DO3A-based ligands and their Gd3+ and Eu3+ complexes containing ethyl-protected and unprotected propylphosphonates in the side chain were investigated. Proton relaxometric in vitro studies at 20 MHz and 60 MHz and 37 °C of the Gd3+ complex containing free acid exhibited relative changes of up to 56 in r1 relaxivity when the pH of the medium was changed from 4 to 7. This change is explained by the increase in the number of coordinated water molecules from 1 to 2. Temperature dependent relaxivity and NMRD profiles of Gd3+ complexes showed a slightly increased rotational correlation time, which is characteristic of phosphonate-containing compounds. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies of the Gd3+ and Eu3+ complexes were performed by means of potentiometry and luminescence spectroscopy. The results indicate that the thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of these complexes are sufficient for their in vivo application

Tris(phosphonomethyl)cyclen Derivatives: Thermodynamic Stability, Kinetics, Solution Structure, and Relaxivity of Ln3+ Complexes

International audienceThe lanthanide (Ln3+) complexes of three cyclen-based ligands containing three methylphosphonate pendant arms were studied, the ligands being 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triyltris(methylphosphonic acid) (H6do3p), 3-[4,7,10-tris(phosphonomethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododec-1-yl]propanoic acid (H7do3p1pr), and 10-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triyltris(methylphosphonic acid) (H6do3p1ol). The three macrocyclic ligands form complexes of very high thermodynamic stability with all studied Ln3+ ions. Kinetic studies showed that the acid-assisted dissociation of Ce3+ complexes of these ligands is much faster than for the complex of the related ligand H8dotp [1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetrayltetrakis(methylphosphonic acid)]. The number of water molecules coordinated to the Eu3+ and Gd3+ complexes was estimated to be < 1 for the do3p1ol ligand but ca. 1 for the other two ligands, as obtained by time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy and by 1H and 17O relaxometric measurements. The NMR spectroscopic data indicate the existence of a considerable contribution from second-sphere water molecules to the relaxivity of all the Gd3+ complexes studied. The 1H and 31P NMR spectra of the Eu3+, Yb3+ and Lu3+ complexes showed that the propionate arm in the [Ln(do3p1pr)]4- complexes and the propanol arm in the [Ln(do3p1ol)]3- complexes are not bound to the Ln3+ ion. The [Ln(do3p)]3- and [Ln(do3p1pr)]4- complexes have a clear preference for the TSAP (twisted square antiprismatic) isomer, while both SAP (square antiprismatic) and TSAP isomers are present in solutions of the [Ln(do3p1ol)]3- complexes
