与时俱进，不断开创物理化学课程建设新局面

As a necessary basic theory course for undergraduates majoring in chemistry, materials, pharmacy, chemical engineering, and biology, physical chemistry plays an important role in cultivating talents to meet the needs of social and economic development. Over the years, the teaching team of physical chemistry of East China University of Science and Technology has carried out the curriculum reform and innovation persistently based on "Team building as the foundation, resource building as the root, mode innovation as the soul, ability training as the origin". This paper will summarize our thinking and experience in striving for the first-class course from the aspects of first-class team construction, first-class resource construction, teaching connotation innovation, teaching mode exploration, and extract the experience that can be used as reference by teaching peers.     

Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Oligo(nucleoside phosphorothioate)s

Encouraging results obtained for modulation of gene expression by antisense oligonucleotides and their analogues have kindled hopes for a new generation of therapeutics against viral infections, cancer, and many other diseases. Among such analogues, oligo(nucleoside phosphorothioate)s (Oligo-S) have generally shown the highest efficacy in inhibiting the biosynthesis of “unwanted” proteins. The first clinical trials of antisense agents are now in progress using Oligo-S against genital warts and acute myeloid leukemia, and tests of Oligo-S against AIDS should follow soon. Nevertheless, their mechanism of action, internalization, cellular trafficking, subcellular localization, and interaction with cellular proteins is still poorly understood. It is assumed a priori that application involves rapid and efficient molecular recognition of target RNA by Oligo-S; however, the effects of the chirality of Oligo-S have so far been unappreciated, because Oligo-S has not yet been synthesized with stereocontrol. Indeed, the diastereomeric composition of Oligo-S has never been determined, primarily because of the lack of appropriate analytical methods. Since each of the diastereomers is a stereochemically unique chemical entity, questions arise as to which diastereomer is responsible for an observed biological response, including positive (curative) or possibly negative (toxic) side effects. In this review we intend provide a perhaps somewhat speculative assessment of the problems associated with the stereo-controlled synthesis of Oligo-S and to discuss the state-of-the-art in this field including strategies that may lead to Oligo-S of predetermined chirality. This article is not intended to discourage researchers from further studies of dia-steromeric mixtures of Oligo-S as potential pharmaceuticals. Throughout the history of medicinal chemistry numerous useful medicines were discovered, developed, and employed without the detailed knowledge of their structure. Indeed, the composition of the vaccines discovered by Pasteur is a subject of vigorous study still today.     

从能源产业发展和人才需求浅谈“能源化学”新工科改造

Based on building emerging engineering education of "energy chemistry", we investigated the state key petro-chemical enterprises according to the industrial development and the demand of professional talents. The research report summarizes, analyzes and discusses the current priority development fields of industry, the talent training status, curriculum structure and education program of the chemistry and chemical engineering in universities. The ideas on emerging engineering education of "energy chemistry" have been proposed, and it will be beneficial to building a novel education program for talents training, which integrates the principle of chemistry, energy conversion and information science, etc.

How do we know who to include in collaborative research? Toward a method for the identification of experts

Collaborative research, defined as research involving actors participating in the problem situation under study, has an important role in operational research, strategic management and systems thinking. In a recent study, we found that a strong organizational focus incorporated into many soft operational research (OR) approaches is inadequate for studying societal problem situations, which are fragmented and have no clear boundary. Specifically, we failed to find a process of identifying individuals that is capable of representing the perspectives of actors and sufficient for research into societal problem situations. We found no clear terminology accounting for ontological differences between actors, individuals representing them and conceptual representations of acting entities. In response to this gap in the literature, we propose terminology that differentiates among actors (individuals or collective entities in the real world), experts (individuals capable of representing the perspective of an actor) and agents (ideal-typical representations of actors). Based on this terminology, we propose an iterative method to guide the assembly of an expert group to undertake collaborative research into societal problem situations. To demonstrate the application of our method, we present selected insights from our study in an electronic supplement.     

Realizing the Promise—The Development of Research on Carbon Nanotubes

The present reflection on the development of research on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) stems from the publication of the report “Realizing the Promise of Carbon Nanotubes” by the US National Nanotechnology Initiative in 2015. The report is a critical assessment of the state‐of‐art of CNT research and highlights some unresolved issues related with this field. Starting from the results of this assessment, we carried out an analysis of the publications’ pool in CNTs and related domains, by exploiting bibliometric tools. We focused on the item of competition/collaboration between disciplines and nations, with the purpose of evaluating the position of chemistry (as a discipline) as well as the position of the main European countries and the European Union (EU) as a whole in the context of CNT research. The results of such analysis outline very clearly the interdisciplinary landscape wherein CNT research is situated and show the highly competitive place occupied by EU in the field.     

基于OKRs思想的研究生科研管理模式——以油水分离网膜相关研究为例

OKRs（objective&key results，目标与关键性成果）是目前较为先进的企业管理模式，它与传统的KPI（key performance indicator）管理模式最大的区别就是重过程、重沟通、重自律。这些特点使得OKRs管理模式非常适用于研究生的科研管理。在目前国内高校研究生招生规模不断扩大的大背景下，利用OKRs提高研究生管理效率，激发研究生自主学习和科研的热情与激情，进而提高研究生教育质量显得尤为重要。构建了基于OKRs思想的全新研究生科研管理模式，并以“油水分离网膜相关研究”为例进行了案例分析，为研究生的科研管理提供了有效的借鉴与参考。     

创意团队隐性知识转移绩效影响因素的实证研究

文章采用问卷调研获取一手数据,运用PLS—SEM方法测度了各类因素对创意团队隐性知识转移绩效的影响。研究发现,PLS—SEM方法对观测数据拟合精度较高,在样本数据非正态分布、共线性等情况下仍然稳定。实证结果表明:团队情境、吸收能力、转移意愿、转化能力、媒介丰富度由大到小对创意团队隐性知识转移绩效产生正向影响,而隐性知识特性必须通过对知识源转化能力的显著负影响才能间接影响知识转移绩效。
