    Abstract Small polar organic pollutants have been discovered to be great threats to the groundwater' as they often are highly mobile and persistent in the environment. 1,2,4-Triazole and N,N-dimethylsulfamide, two well-known examples of small polar compounds, are frequent pollutants of upper groundwater. Both are degradation products of several fungicides commonly or previously used in agriculture' but also in wood-preserving paints. A common trait in the analysis of these small polar compounds is the lack of sufficient pre-concentration methods to lower the limit of detection and enable quantitative analysis at nano-scale concentrations. To date, they are analyzed only by direct injection in HPLC-MS/MS, with detection limits just below the European threshold value for pesticides in groundwater of 0.1 μg/L. Based on a comprehensive method development, a solid phase extraction method was developed. As known LC methods for analysis of 1,2,4-triazole are based on Thermo Fisher's Hypercarb column, emphasis was placed on testing various carbon-based materials. The final, thoroughly validated extraction protocol is based on Supelco's ENVI-Carb Plus cartridges. With extraction recoveries close to 100% for 1,2,4-triazole and N,N-dimethylsulfamide and quantification limits of around 0.003 μg/L, the method enables extraction and quantification of polar pollutants at nano-scale concentration from groundwater samples. In addition, the method is very promising to be used for other small polar pollutants. Graphical abstract.

    Title translation Pharmaceutical regulations in Chad: assessment of drug dispensing practices in private pharmacies in N'Djamena.
    Abstract Introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate drug dispensing practices in private pharmacies in the city of N'Djamena and, specifically, (I) to describe the characteristics of dispensaries, (ii) describe dispensing practices and (iii) assess regulatory compliance when dispensing on the basis of a prescription and an advice.
    Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional survey from June to December 2020. Data were collected in two stages, through interviews with pharmacists and participant observation in drug delivery practices in pharmacies.
    Results: in total, 26 pharmacies, or 50% of pharmacies in N'Djamena, were surveyed. The main survey findings were: private pharmacies in the city of N'Djamena employed two categories of staff, namely pharmacists and auxiliary staff (pharmacy technicians, nurses and salespeople or staff with "no health qualifications". These had not been trained in a health school recognised by the Ministry of Health) to dispense medicines. Very few pharmacies (8%) had a customer confidentiality area and a order book. The three modes of delivery were observed in more or less equal proportions (30 to 40% of dispensations). Dispensing at the patient's request was slightly predominant (40%) and the majority of medicines dispensed at the patient's request and based on dispenser's advice belonged to the different tables of toxic substances (over 70%). The noted absence of the pharmacist from the pharmacy justified why 84% of patients' requests were addressed to the pharmacy assistants.
    Conclusion: this study shows low compliance of pharmacies with pharmaceutical regulations for proper dispensing of medicines in the city of N'Djamena. Factors related to pharmaceutical sector governance and human resources management as well as therapeutic patient education could explain this gap.

    Abstract GeSn compounds have made many interesting contributions in photodetectors (PDs) over the last ten years, as they have a detection limit in the NIR and mid-IR region. Sn incorporation in Ge alters the cut off wavelength. In the present article, p-i-n structures based on GeSn junctions were fabricated to serve as PDs. Arsine (As) is incorporated to develop n-GeSn compounds

    Abstract The structural stability of 4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDA), 4,4'-methylenebis(N,N-dimethylaniline) (MBDMA) and their parent diphenylmethane (DPM) was investigated by the DFT-B3LYP and ab initio MP2 calculations with the 6-311G(**) basis set. From the calculations the three diphenylmethanes were predicted to exist predominantly in a non-planar structure with a near C2 molecular symmetry in agreement with X-ray studies. The CCCC angles in DPM and the two dianilines were calculated to be nearly equal of about 60° as compared to X-ray angles of 17° and 67° for MDA. The NH2 inversion barriers in MDA was estimated to be about 1-5 kcal/mol. On comparison of the Raman spectra of the three compounds, the line intensity and position of the characteristic ring breathing mode were shown to be sensitive to the amino substitution. The vibrational wavenumbers of the optimized structures of the two dianilines were computed at the DFT-B3LYP level of theory. Tentative vibrational assignments were made on the basis of combined DFT and experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman data of MDA and MBDMA.

    Abstract Copolymer of styrene, and vinylpyrrolidone was prepared by various techniques. Different nanometals and nanometal oxides were added into the copolymer as antimicrobial agents against Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB). The nanocomposite chemical structure was confirmed by using FTIR, (1)H NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The biocidal action of these nanocomposites against the SRB was detected using sulfide determination method in Postgate medium B. The data indicated that the nanocomposites had an inhibitory effect on the growth of SRB and reduced the bacterial corrosion rate of mild steel coupons. The prepared nanocomposites have high inhibition efficiency when applied as coatings and show less efficiency when applied as solids or solution into SRB medium. The copolymer and its nanocomposites effectively reduced the total corrosion rate as determined by total weight loss method.

    Abstract Two water soluble gallium complexes described as [Ga(III)LCl], where L is the deprotonated form of N-2-hydroxybenzyl aspartic acid derivatives, were synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, FT-IR, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The 2-(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylamino)succinic acid derivative (GS2) has been found to be a promising anticancer drug candidate. This compound was found to be more cytotoxic against human breast carcinoma MDA-MB231 and fibrosarcoma HT-1080 cell lines than the unsubstituted derivative and GaCl3. GS2 was able to induce apoptosis through downregulation of AKT phosphorylation, G2M arrest in cell cycle, and caspase 3/7 pathway. This gallium complex was found to induce an increase in mitochondrial ROS level in HT-1080 cells but not in MDA-MB231 cells. This suggests that the mechanism of action of GS2 would not be mediated by the drug-induced oxidative stress but probably by directly and indirectly inhibiting the AKT cell-signaling pathway.

    Abstract The structural stability and C-N internal rotations of phenylurea and phenylthiourea were investigated by DFT-B3LYP and ab initio MP2 and MP4//MP2 calculations with 6-311G** and/or 6-311+G** basis sets. The complex multirotor internal rotations in phenylurea and phenylthiourea were investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+G** level of theory from which several clear minima were predicted in the calculated potential energy scans of both molecules. For phenylurea two minima that correspond to non-planar- (CNCC dihedral angle of about 45 degrees ) cis (CNCO dihedral angle is near 0 degrees ) and trans (CNCO dihedral angle is near 180 degrees ) structures were predicted to have real frequency. For phenylthiourea only the non-planar-trans structure was predicted to be the low energy minimum for the molecule. The vibrational frequencies of the lowest energy non-planar-trans conformer of each of the two molecules were computed at the B3LYP level and tentative vibrational assignments were provided on the basis of normal coordinate analysis and experimental infrared and Raman data.
