Nomophobia and the influence of time to REST among nursing students. A descriptive, correlational and predictive research.

The inclusion of the smartphone in society has brought many advantages, but also disadvantages, such as nomophobia, considered as a digital disease generated by the excessive use of the smartphone. The general objective of the research is to know and analyse the prevalence of nomophobia among nursing students and knowing the influence of time to rest. The research design is descriptive, correlational, transversal and predictive with a quantitative research methodology. The sample consist of nursing students from the University of Granada (N = 880) in Spain. A descriptive analysis has been carried out, as well as a bivariate correlation of Pearson, the student T test and a multiple linear regression. The results show an average level of nomophobia among nursing students. Although the students can recognize that the use of the smartphone can reduce their rest period, mainly focused on the hours they spend sleeping, there is no significant relationship between the two facts, confirming also that the levels of nomophobia are significantly more related in those who claim not to have problems in their rest due to the use of the mobile phone. A large percentage of them claim to rest less time due to excessive use of their smartphone.

The EYCN and the Power of Networking.

Networking is a symbiosis-it is about establishing, building and cultivating relationships that you will maintain over a long time and which may lead to mutually beneficial exchanges in your future. Your professional contacts might also become your close friends, since you frequently share the same experiences or merely have similar scientific and general interests or nerdy humour. Chemical societies are a fantastic way to expand your network and engaging or following the activities of the European Young Chemists Network (EYCN) might be the perfect starting point for you.

Flow synthesis of ethyl isocyanoacetate enabling the telescoped synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles and pyrrolo-[1,2-c]pyrimidines.

The efficient flow synthesis of important heterocyclic building blocks based on the 1,2,4-triazole and pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidine scaffold has been achieved. Crucially, a telescoped continuous flow process was developed based on the reaction of N-formylglycine with triphosgene to deliver a stream of ethyl isocyanoacetate in situ, which subsequently yielded the desired heterocyclic entities in a telescoped reaction. Additionally, the functionalisation of the pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidine core via subsequent SEAr reactions was studied revealing insight into a 'halogen dance' phenomenon associated with these medicinally relevant architectures.
