Oxidative Stress Biomarkers: Establishment of Reference Values for Isoprostanes, AOPP, and NPBI in Cord Blood by Mariangela Longini, Elisa Belvisi, Fabrizio Proietti, Francesco Bazzini, Giuseppe Buonocore, Serafina Perrone

“…Dangerous effects of OS are mediated by increased production of free radicals (FRs) following various mechanisms, such as hypoxia, ischemia reperfusion, hyperoxia, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, Fenton chemistry, and prostaglandin metabolism. FRs have short half-life, and their measurement in vivo is faced with many challenges. …”

Efflux Pumps and Porins Enhance Bacterial Tolerance to Phenolic Compounds by Inhibiting Hydroxyl Radical Generation by Xinyue Sui, Likun Guo, Zixian Bao, Mo Xian, Guang Zhao

“…Unfortunately, most phenolic compounds are highly toxic to cells in specific cellular environments or above a particular concentration because they form a complex with iron and promote hydroxyl radical production in Fenton reactions, resulting in the ferroptosis of cells. …”

Internal electric field steering S-scheme charge transfer in ZnIn2S4/COF boosts H2O2 photosynthesis from water and air for sustainable disinfection by Linlin Zhuo, Shaofeng Dong, Yik Tung Sham, Jinpeng Zhang, Xiaoying Xu, Kenrick Chun Kiu Ho, Min Pan, Qiaoshan Chen, Guocheng Huang, Jinhong Bi

“…The produced H2O2 was efficiently activated into hydroxyl radicals (·OH) through reaction with Fe(II), enabling rapid sterilization via a photocatalysis-self-Fenton system. Mechanistic insights, supported by physicochemical characterizations and theoretical calculations, highlighted the role of the internal electric field (IEF) in enhancing carrier separation and transfer, thereby boosting photosynthesis efficiency. …”

Aproximación pragmática a la teoría del juicio moral, desde la crítica a Kohlberg by Eduardo Aguirre Dávila

“…Para este propósito tomé dos teorías complementarias que constituyen una posición alternativa a la perspectiva deontológica de Kohlberg: por un lado, está el trabajo de Krebs y Denton sobre el desarrollo moral, en el cual éste se concibe a partir del modo como las personas resuelven los dilemas morales de la vida cotidiana, optando por realizar sus metas en el marco de unas relaciones de cooperación; y por otro, expongo la teoría propuesta por los hermanos Dreyfus en torno a la experticia, según la cual los seres humanos no acuden en la vida diaria a principios para enfrentar situaciones morales dilemáticas, sólo se apoyan en el conocimiento de una gran cantidad de ejemplos acumulados a partir de la experiencia y con los cuales fijan un determinado curso de acción.…”
