O-H...O, C-H...O and C-H...[pi]arene intermolecular interactions in (2S)-2-(1-oxo-1H-2,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)pentanoic acid and (2S)-3-methyl-2-(1-oxo-1H-2,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)butanoic acid

In the first of the title compounds, (2S)-2-(1-oxo-1H-2,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)pentanoic acid, C₁₃H₁₅NO₃, prepared from L-norvaline, a hydrogen-bonded network is formed in the solid state through O-H...O=C, C-H...O=C and C-H...πarene intermolecular interactions, with shortest O...O, C...O and C...centroid distances of 2.582 (13), 3.231 (11) and 3.466 (3) Å, respectively. In the L-valine derivative, (2S)-3-methyl-2-(1-oxo-1H-2,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)butanoic acid, C₁₃H₁₅NO₃, O-H...O=C and Carene-H...O=C intermolecular interactions generate a cyclic R²₂(9) motif through cooperativity, with shortest O...O and C...O distances of 2.634 (3) and 3.529 (5) Å, respectively. Methylene C-H...O=Cindole interactions complete the hydrogen bonding, with C...O distances ranging from 3.283 (4) to 3.477 (4) Å

(2S)-4-Methyl-2-(1-oxo-1H-2,3-dihydroisoindol- 2-yl)pentanoic acid.

The title compound, C14H17NO3, exhibits carboxylic acid group disorder about the C—CO2 axis, with site occupancies of 0.79 (5):0.21 (5). Molecules are linked by intermolecular O—H O Ciso, C—H O Ciso and C—H (arene) interactions (iso = isoindolinone)

(2RS)-3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-(1-oxo-1H-2,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)propanoic acid monohydrate

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₅NO₄·H₂O, derived from DL-tyrosine crystallizes as an unusual hydrogen-bonded acid-monohydrate dimer. The asymmetric unit contains two organic molecules and two water molecules. Dimers link through (aryl)O-H...O=C hydrogen bonds along the [101] direction, forming a one-dimensional chain of rings, and further associated via inversion centres (forming a chain of rings aligned in the opposite direction) generating columns. Ruffled sheets arise from interlocking of isoindole rings via π-π(arene) stacking and C-H...π(arene) interactions; C-H...O interactions generate a three-dimensional network

A comparative study of mobile technology adoption in remote Australia

The paper presents a comparative study of mobile technology adoption\ud and use by two communities – one Aboriginal and the other non-Aboriginal –\ud both located in a remote region of Australia, the Bloomfield River Valley of Cape\ud York. Both communities have high levels of ownership of mobile phones relative\ud to, on the one hand, the low uptake of other ICT such as fixed-line phones by the\ud Aboriginal community at Wujal Wujal and, on the other hand, the poor mobile\ud coverage in the non-Aboriginal community at Bloomfield. For both groups\ud communication is of paramount importance, followed by listening to music. In\ud addition, the Aboriginal community make extensive use of other multimedia and\ud Internet features of their devices. Key factors in the motivation to acquire mobile\ud phones, in comparison to other ICT, are the superior cost management that\ud mobiles offer for Aboriginal people and the convenience of being able to\ud communicate while away from home for Bloomfield residents. The authors\ud conclude that mobile technology needs to be taken seriously, even in areas of\ud limited coverage such as the Bloomfield River Valley

Intermolecular interactions in the chiral and racemic forms of 3-hydroxy-2-(1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)butanoic acid derived from threonine

The title compounds, C₁₂H₁₃NO₄, are derived from L-threonine and DL-threonine, respectively. Hydrogen bonding in the chiral derivative, (2S/3R)-3-hydroxy-2-(1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)butanoic acid, consists of O-Hacid...Oalkyl-H...O=Cindole chains [O...O 2.659 (3) and 2.718 (3) Å], Csp³-H...O and three C-H...πarene interactions. In the (2R,3S/2S,3R) racemate, conventional carboxylic acid hydrogen bonding as cyclical (O-H...O=C)₂ [graph set R₂²(8)] is present, with Oalkyl-H...O=Cindole, Csp³-H...O and C-H...πarene interactions. The COOH group geometry differs between the two forms, with C-O, C=O, C-C-O and C-C=O bond lengths and angles of 1.322 (3) and 1.193 (3) Å, and 109.7 (2) and 125.4 (3)°, respectively, in the chiral structure, and 1.2961 (17) and 1.2210 (18) Å, and 113.29 (12) and 122.63 (13)°, respectively, in the racemate structure. The O-C=O angles of 124.9 (3) and 124.05 (14)° are similar. The differences arise from the contrasting COOH hydrogen-bonding environments in the two structures

Technology Skill Sharing in Torres Strait

The increasing deployment of technology is changing the way services are delivered. New technologies require people to learn new procedures to do the same things they were doing previously as well as to learn to use entirely new services. Business has made little accommodation for the diversity of users and their situations as the use of technology increases and the human interface with its clients’ decreases. This study looks at how Indigenous people in a remote area access Internet banking services. Internet banking is a discrete technological skill that has been effectively acquired without outside assistance or direction: this makes it a useful lens to view the process of technology skill acquisition

Intermolecular O—H O hydrogen bonding in the three independent molecules of (2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)propanoic acid.

The title compound, C17H15NO4, derived from l-tyrosine, crystallizes with three independent mol­ecules which differ in the conformation of the asymmetric unit: the N—C—C—Cipso torsion angles are −71.7 (5), −63.6 (6) and −52.5 (5)°, respectively. Deformations in the phenol ring hydroxy O—C—C angles of 116.5 (4)/123.9 (4), 121.7 (5)/118.1 (4) and 122.4 (5)/118.6 (5)°, respectively, result from their respective intermolecular hydrogen-bonding environments. Intermolecular Oacid—HtO=Cindole, Ophenol—HtO—Hphenol and Ophenol—HtO=Cindole hydrogen bonds, with OtO distances in the range 2.607 (4)–2.809 (4) Å, are present in combination with C—HtO and C—Htπarene interactions. The primary hydrogen-bonding systems assemble with graph sets R33(8) and R32(22)

O-H...O, C-H...O and C-H...πarene Intermolecular Interactions in (2R/2S)-2-(1-oxo-1,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)-3-phenylpropanoic Acid

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₅NO₃, forms a hydrogenbonded network in the solid state consisting of O-H...O=C, Carene--H...and 0=C and Carene--H...πarene intermolecular interactions, with shortest O...O, C...O and C...C distances of 2.625(2), 3.281(3) and 3.652 (3)Å, respectively. The interplanar angle between the five- and six-membered rings of the isoindole system is 1.07 (14) °, with the carbonyl O atom 0.I10 (3)Å from the C₄N ring plane

The spiritual journey of infertile couples: discussing the opportunity for spiritual care

Infertility is a worldwide public health issue that exerts an in-depth impact on couples, families, communities and the individual. This reproductive health condition, along with fertility treatments, often forces couples to question their purpose and meaning in life, and to begin a spiritual journey. Nursing and midwifery literature describes the care of those living with infertility, but often lacks a clear approach of the spiritual dimension, and diagnosis and interventions may not be effectively addressed. In this paper, we present a discussion about spirituality and the assessment of spiritual needs such as hope, beliefs, meaning and satisfaction in life. In addition, spiritual needs are defined, for both nurses and midwives, and spiritual interventions are proposed for promoting couples’ resilience and spiritual well-being. Spirituality should be considered from the beginning to the end of life. It is necessary to translate this into the development and implementation of both specific policies regarding a spiritual approach and advanced education and training programs for nurses and midwives who care for infertile couples.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
