3G in Pakistan: a social – not economic – revolution?

LSE’s Emrys Schoemaker argues that the spread of mobile internet in Pakistan is likely to drive social change rather than economic growth

Dipyrazolylphosphanes in Condensation and P–N/P–P Bond Metathesis Reactions

Phosphorus plays a crucial role in modern p-block chemistry.1 One reason for that is the diagonal relationship between phosphorus and carbon.2 Comparable to carbon and its chemistry, phosphorus tends to form homoatomic bonds, which is explainable by the relatively high P–P single bond energy (ca. 200 kJ/mol).3 Thus, a plethora of poly-phosphorus compounds are reported in the last decades comprising of fascinating bonding motifs4 and interesting applications in coordination5-7 and synthetic8-11 chemistry, as well as in ligand design.12,13 A crucial point in the chemistry of polyphosphanes is of course the formation of P–P bonds. Numerous synthetic procedures are established and reviewed including salt metathesis,4a,14 dehalosilylation15 and dehalostannylation16 reactions, base promoted dehydrohalogenation reactions17 and dehydrogenative coupling reactions mediated by main group compounds18 or catalysis by transition metals.5,19 Moreover, dialkylamino-substituted phosphanes are used in condensation reactions to form P–P bonds since the early 1960’s. Yet these reactions need elevated temperatures, somewhat limiting the formation of polyphosphorus compounds as stated by the few examples reported.17d,20 The application of pyrazolyl-substituted phosphanes in P–P bond formation reactions is a relatively young field of research.21 Their synthesis and general chemical behavior as well as advantages in comparison to dialkylamino-substituted phosphanes is discussed in the following chapter

The art of living in Dutch public schools

Se suponía que las escuelas públicas holandesas eran neutrales. Pero, ¿cómo puedes ser neutral en una sociedad plural religiososa? En la década de 1980 se tomaron dos decisiones importantes. A todos los niños se les debe enseñar sobre las diferentes religiones del mundo y deben ser “pluriformes activos”. Los programas : VOS / ABB quiere llevar esto un paso más allá con el concepto de “el arte de vivir”. Siguiendo esta visión, hay dos conceptos que se están explorando en este momento: “Contar historias y hacer preguntas” y “Escuela de diálogo”.The Dutch public schools were supposed to be neutral. But how can you be neutral in a religiously divers society? In the 1980’s two important decisions were made. All children should be taught about the different world religions and should be “actively pluriform”. VOS/ABB wants to take this a step further with the concept of “the art of living”. Following this vision, there are two concepts that are being explored at this moment: “Telling stories and Asking questions” and “Dialogue School”

El arte de vivir en las escuelas públicas de Dutch

The Dutch public schools were supposed to be neutral. But how can you be neutral in a religiously divers society? In the 1980’s two important decisions were made. All children should be taught about the different world religions and should be “actively pluriform”. VOS/ABB wants to take this a step further with the concept of “the art of  iving”.

Analysis of the Factors that Correlate with Transition Outcomes of Commercial Technology Prototype Projects

A key metric of success for Department of Defense (DoD) Research and Development organizations is the ability to transition technologies and prototypes. Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering\u27s prototyping guide shows successful transition pathways come in the forms of transition to operational use, rapid fielding, existing program adoption, or a new acquisition program (2018). There are many factors that occur throughout a prototype projects lifecycle that impact the likelihood of transition. These factors include both qualitative and quantitative factors. Limited research has been performed, past the best practice considerations, of what factors impact transition of prototyping efforts. This research evaluates commercial technology prototyping projects to identify the project characteristics and factors that correlate with transition success. The research setting is DoDs commercial product prototyping organization, the Defense Innovation Unit. The findings show that beyond technology success, the resources of time and money, stakeholder commitment and consistency, project execution and transition market factors correlate with transition success
