Enhancing ordering dynamics in solvent-annealed block-copolymer films by lithographic hard masks supports

We studied solvent-driven ordering dynamics of block copolymer films supported by a densely cross-linked polymer network designed as organic hard mask (HM) for lithographic fabrications. The ordering of microphase separated domains at low degrees of swelling corresponding to intermediate/strong segregation regimes was found to proceed significantly faster in films on a HM layer as compared to similar block copolymer films on silicon wafers. The ten-fold enhancement of the chain mobility was evident in the dynamics of morphological phase transitions and of related process of terrace-formation on a macroscale, as well as in the degree of long-range lateral order of nanostructures. The effect is independent of the chemical structure and on the volume composition (cylinder-/ lamella-forming) of the block copolymers. In-situ ellipsometric measurements of the swelling behavior revealed a cumulative increase in 1-3 vol. % in solvent up-take by HM-block copolymer bilayer films, so that we suggest other than dilution effect reasons for the observed significant enhancement of the chain mobility in concentrated block copolymer solutions. Another beneficial effect of the HM-support is the suppression of the film dewetting which holds true even for low molecular weight homopolymer polystyrene films at high degrees of swelling. Apart from immediate technological impact in block copolymer-assisted nanolithography, our findings convey novel insight into effects of molecular architecture on polymer-solvent interactions.Comment: This document is the unedited Author's version of a Submitted Work that was subsequently accepted for publication in Macromolecules, copyright \c{opyright} American Chemical Society after peer review.

The definitive version was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition 53 (2014): 5566–5568, doi:10.1002/anie.201400529.We report structure elucidation and synthesis of the luciferin from the recently discovered luminous earthworm Fridericia heliota. This luciferin represents a key component of a novel ATP-dependent bioluminescence system. The UV, fluorescence, NMR and HRMS spectral studies were performed on 5 mkg of the isolated substance, and gave four isomeric structures, conforming with spectral data. These isomers were chemically synthesized and one of them was found to produce light in the reaction with a protein extract from Fridericia. The novel luciferin was found to have an unusual deeply modified peptidic nature, implying an unprecedented mechanism of action.We acknowledge support from the Program of the Government of the Russian Federation “Measures to attract leading scientists to Russian educational institutions” (grant no. 11.

Exploring clinicians\u27 experience of countertransference in play therapy

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore clinicians\u27 experience of countertransference in play therapy. Through semi-structured individual interviews with twelve clinicians, narrative data was collected on the ways in which clinicians experience, process, and utilize countertransference in play therapy. Some of the findings of this study support previous research and theoretical literature on countertransference in the field of child psychotherapy. Additionally, this study\u27s findings introduce the possibility that specific aspects of play therapy have a unique effect on the experience and processing of countertransference in play therapy due to the nature of this therapeutic modality. Implications for social work practice highlight the need for further research, guidelines for play therapy supervision, and approaches to addressing countertransference in play therapy

The Problem of Developing Schoolchildren’s Cognitive Activities in the Educational Process

This article aims to a research problem that emphasizes the necessity to guide and organize schoolchildren’s cognitive activities. In a situation when cognition becomes the leading activity, new opportunities are opened up for the organization of the whole educational process, including its other aspects such as – development, and learning. The experiment conducted revealed problem points of organizing the process of cognition as well as the necessity for collecting additional data for a future experiment. The paper also puts forward the idea of a correlation between the hierarchical system of principles of education and types of adequacy

Depth psychology of parents' experiences of pathological forms of guilt (for example, families with children with disabilities)

The feelings of guilt by parents of children with limited health and functional disorders are the deep-psychological formation of interpersonal genesis caused by moral suffering as a result of the disability of the child, determined by the intensity of the mechanisms of psychological protection, intrapersonal conflicts; mediated by the personal qualities of the parents. Pathologization of the experience of guilt reveals a relationship with the types of attitude to the disease and the status of the child, has an ambivalent nature and tendency to hypercompensation. It is conceptualized and empirically proven that the sense of guilt of parents of children with disabilities is complex, primary in relation to intrasymeological traumatization by an experience that has a deep psychological determination associated with a specific set of mechanisms of psychological defenses, the presence of appropriate intrapersonal conflicts and irrational attitudes. The features of the experience of interpersonal guilt in terms of their conjunctive and disjunctive effects are analyzed. A set of moral traumatization of parents is defined, which describes the moral suffering from the recognition of a child’s disability and the phenomenon of secondary trauma due to the conviction of guilt before the child (family members, society, etc.). Moral trauma from guilt has two rational attributes: moral harm–moral losses associated with moral and physical suffering, limitations, losses, and moral suffering–negative experiences that manifest themselves in the form of fear, shame, humiliation, a state of mental pain, depression and apathy. Behavioral trends and obsessive thoughts about compensation and

Diagnostics of Damages in Reinforced Concrete by the Parameters of Electric Response to Mechanical Impact

A method for non-destructive testing of reinforced concrete based on thephenomenon of mechano-electric transformations is proposed in this work. The procedure forassessing damage in concrete is based on the measurement of an electric response to a weakelastic impact. It was found that the moments of crack formation and growth during bendingare accompanied by a significant decrease in the correlation coefficient of the electricresponses spectra and by a stepwise change in spectrum shift (at frequency domain) at whichthe maximum correlation coefficient is observed. It was determined that the increase of energyattenuation coefficient of the electric response can serve as a forerunner of a catastrophicdestruction in concrete. The diagnostic criteria proposed in this work can be used formonitoring the damage processes in reinforced concrete under bending conditions
