Puzzles of Inflation, Money, and Debt: Applying the Fiscal Theory of the Price Level
Authors: Coleman Thomas , Oliver Bryan , Siegel Laurence
Published: June 2022

The fiscal theory of the price level (FTPL) provides an update and revision of monetary theory to address puzzles raised by the failure of both the new Keynesian theory (commonly used by central bankers) and neoclassical monetarism (in particular, the quantity theory of money as interpreted by Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz)—puzzles such as the low inflation that followed the sustained expansionary monetary policies post-2008. We aim to summarize and explain the FTPL as developed by Eric Leeper, John Cochrane, and others.

Ökologisch nachhaltiger Journalismus. Kollision mit journalistischen Qualitätsansprüchen?
Authors: Rank Alexandra
Published: June 2022

Medien kritisieren un-nachhaltiges Handeln anderer, thematisieren aber kaum ihr eigenes ökologisch (un)nachhaltiges Verhalten. Mit einer qualitativen Befragung wurde untersucht, inwiefern Journalist:innen ökologisch nachhaltig arbeiten können und ob sich dies mit journalistischen Qualitätskriterien in Einklang bringen lässt. Ein zentrales Ergebnis der Untersuchung war, dass der ökologische Einfluss des journalistischen Prozesses gering bewertet und die Verantwortung primär bei den Medienunternehmen verortet wird. Bisher hemmten Kosten die Entwicklung, wobei diesbezüglich ein Paradigmenwechsel stattfindet. Der ökologische Faktor wird im Journalismus jedoch nie das wichtigste Entscheidungskriterium für oder gegen eine Geschichte sein. Veränderungspotential existiert aber gleichwohl bei der Mobilität, dem Energie- und dem Ressourcenverbrauch der Journalist:innen.
Die Negativzinspolitik der Notenbanken: Strukturelle Hintergründe und geldtheoretische Konsequenzen
Authors: Deutschmann Christoph
Published: June 2022

Seit dem Ende der Finanzkrise im Jahr 2008 haben die führenden Notenbanken der westlichen Länder eine Politik extrem niedriger Zinsen und anhaltender Anleihekäufe betrieben, die auch während der 2010er Jahre nur vorübergehend zurückgenommen und im Zuge der Corona-Krise noch ausgeweitet wurde. Die Ursachen der neuen Politik liegen, wie in dem Artikel argumentiert wird, in strukturellen Ungleichgewichten an den Kapitalmärkten, die freilich nicht auf eine durch die Alterung der Bevölkerung bedingte Erhöhung der Sparquoten zurückzuführen ist, wie von ökonomischer Seite oft behauptet wird. Der Kern des Problems liegt vielmehr in einem durch die spekulativen Exzesse der Finanzindustrie („Finanzialisierung“) hochgetriebenen Wert der Finanzvermögen einerseits, in einer sozial- und unternehmensstrukturell bedingten Erosion innovativer und unternehmerischer Potenziale in der Realwirtschaft andererseits. Daraus ergeben sich Grenzen der gegenwärtig zu beobachtenden Politisierung des Geldsystems, die in aktuellen geldtheoretischen Debatten nicht hinreichend reflektiert werden.

The book is aimed at all those interested in constitutional history, the judiciary and gender equality.
Über Nietzsche
Authors: Wollek Christian
Published: June 2022

Über Nietzsche shows Nietzsche's work in studies, rhymes and aphorisms as the "unnoticed self-confession" of its author. The works of his youth are just as much the subject as his later writings, aspects of the reception of religious studies as well as systematic questions or free continuations of some of Nietzsche's suggestions. "About Nietzsche" thus always also means: beyond Nietzsche.
The contributions complement in an extended perspective the commentary on Die lateinischen Texte des Schülers Nietzsche (Christian Wollek, Die lateinischen Texte des Schülers Nietzsche. Übersetzung und Kommentar, 2nd updated and expanded edition, Baden-Baden, 2022).

Plant Secondary Metabolites: Therapeutic Potential and Pharmacological Properties
Authors: Zeeshan Bhatti Muhammad , Ismail Hammad , Khan Kayani Waqas
Published: June 2022

Plants are an essential source for discovering novel medical compounds for drug development, and secondary metabolites are sources of medicines from plants. Secondary metabolites include alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, coumarins, quinones, carotenoids, and steroids. Each year, several new secondary metabolites are extracted from plants, providing a source of possibilities to investigate against malignant illnesses, despite certain natural chemicals having distinct anticancer activities according to their physicochemical features. Secondary metabolites found in plants are frequently great leads for therapeutic development. However, changes in the molecular structure of these compounds are improving their anticancer activity and selectivity and their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion capacities while minimizing their toxicity and side effects. In this section, we will discuss the most significant breakthroughs in the field of plant secondary metabolites, some of which are currently in clinical use and others that are in clinical trials as anticancer drugs. This study gives an up-to-date and thorough summary of secondary plant metabolites and their antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer effects. Furthermore, antioxidant and antibacterial, and anticancer effects of secondary metabolites are addressed. As a result, this article will serve as a thorough, quick reference for people interested in secondary metabolite antioxidants, anticancer, and antibacterial properties.
Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) Compounds as Photocatalyst in Organic Synthesis: A Metal-Free Greener Approach
Authors: Rajamanickam Suresh , K. Patel Bhisma
Published: June 2022

Thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) molecules undergo efficient intersystem crossing (ISC) and reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) processes, making them as third-generation emitters in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and time-resolved luminescence imaging. Apart from these applications, recently, TADF molecules have been used extensively as photocatalysts in light-mediated synthesis. In general, highly expensive complexes of Rh, Ir, Ru and organic dyes (Eosin Y, Rose Bengal, 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium perchlorate [Acr-Mes]+ClO4−) are commonly used in the photocatalysis process. Organic-TADF based molecules help to avoid these costly metal catalysts and frequently used organic dyes, making the reaction economical and greener. This chapter will briefly summarize the photocatalytic properties of organic-TADF compounds in organic synthesis.

Scarectomy and prompt coverage are some of the main cornerstones of the actual treatment of major burnt patients. This coverage can be definitive using autologous tissues or temporary with allografts, xenografts, and/or biosynthetic products. Skin allografts (SAs) are the gold standard therapeutic alternative among temporary coverages, since they mimic skin functions. However, cadaveric skin donation and procurement, a common SA source, are infrequent. On the other hand, there is a significant number of patients that, given their health condition, large amounts of skin must be resected for their clinical recovery, including patients submitted to corporal contouring surgeries with esthetic and/or reconstructive motives, usually eliminating the redundant skin as biological waste. This study describes a skin bank model from live donors and cryopreserved total skin cutaneous allografts (CTSCAs), a new type of SA resulting from a particular skin processing.

Authors: Kumar Sharma Gulshan , Ahmad Khan Shakeel , Kumar Amit , Rashmi Ittyamkandath , Ahmad Malla Fayaz , Lal Meena Gopal
Published: June 2022

In the recent years, due to heavy surge in the price of petrochemical products, researchers are getting interest towards renewable bioenergy resources such as algal-based biomass. In order to meet a world energy demand, current bioeconomy challenges and to produce valuable products, intensive and integrated research on algal biorefinery is highly required. Even though several research carried out study for the conversion of algae biomass to biofuel, but none of these proved economically viable. Hence, range of value added product (biodiesel, biochar, fertilizer, etc.) must be produced subsequently from algae. The utilization of microalgae for biomass production is better than agricultural crops as microalgae do not required fresh water for its growth, it can readily grow on wastewater throughout the year. Generation of wastewater is severe concern throughout the world and discharge of wastewater without proper treatment in to water bodies causes water pollution. Microalgae bear vast potential in significantly deescalating pollutant load (nitrate, TDS, ammonium, phosphate, organic load) from wastewater. The harvested algal biomass after remediation has significance role in producing biofuels and by-products in a sustainable way. In this chapter, emphasis would be given on role of algae in wastewater treatment and its biorefinary approach for sustainable energy development.
Vibration Therapy for Health Promotion
Authors: da Cunha de Sá-Caputo Danúbia , Seixas Adérito , Taiar Redha , Bernardo-Filho Mario
Published: June 2022

Vibration therapy has been used as a clinical intervention, in which mechanical vibration is transmitted to a part or to the whole body of the individual. It is very important to point out that mechanical vibration is a natural stimulus that is part of the daily life of all living beings and is periodically added to the organism due to a movement of the body. When, for several reasons, the person cannot add mechanical vibration to the body, the mechanical vibration generated by a device can be transmitted to the person in contact with it. When the intervention aims to treat a complaint referring to a specific anatomical segment, it is called local or segmental vibration therapy. However, when mechanical vibration is transmitted to the whole person’s body, aiming for an improvement in the performance, or as a clinical intervention, the procedure is called Systemic vibration therapy. The biological effects would be due to the mechano-transduction mechanism by which cells convert mechanical stimulus into biological activity, releasing various hormones and other substances. This form of mechano-transduction is important to physiological processes in the body, including proprioception, effects on bone mineral density, muscle, balance, and functionality, promoting the modulation of biological effects through specific signaling pathways. In this chapter, the use of mechanical vibration as an intervention aiming to improve and optimize daily life is discussed, either as a local or systemic application, targeting a specific part of the body or the whole body, respectively.

One of the most venerable and vexing issues in mathematics education concerns the trade-off between proficiency and comprehension, between promoting the smooth performance of a mathematical procedure and developing an understanding of how and why that procedure works and what it means. The trade-off is obviously not either-or; rather, as William Brownell pointed out over 30 years ago, some balance needs to be found between meaning and skill. Amid today's arguments that technology has modified, and sometimes supplanted, the skills students need, the issue has grown into not just achieving a balance but finding a balance point.
¿Permiso para investigar? Reflexiones sobre los requisitos éticos de la observación participante en el contexto de la entrevista familiar de obtención de órganos
Authors: Martínez López María Victoria , Martín Nieto Eva María , Cruz Piqueras Maite
Published: June 2022

Aunque se han identificado muchos de los factores que pueden influir en la donación, el momento de la entrevista en la que se les solicita a las familias su autorización para la extracción de órganos parece ser decisivo. Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios que analizan este proceso cuando dicha entrevista tiene lugar. Técnicas cualitativas como la observación participante podrían ayudar a comprender mejor las claves de este contexto. Uno de los argumentos más recurrentes para no realizar este tipo de estudios es la dificultad de cumplir todos los requisitos éticos exigibles a cualquier investigación tal y como vienen definidos en las guías y los comités de investigación biomédica. Este artículo pretende contribuir a una discusión sobre la viabilidad ética de la realización de un estudio in situ sobre la entrevista familiar y propone una estrategia de minimización de posibles riesgos para diseñar un estudio de estas características.

Optical diffractive neural network (ODNN) uses light wave as a computing medium to perform the inference and prediction function of neural network, which has the advantages of high speed, low power consumption, and parallel processing. In this work, an ODNN with only three layers of phase modulation is designed, and a method to improve the recognition performance of ODNN based on the first-order spectral distribution of targets is proposed. Using this method, the parameters of a three-layer ODNN are effectively optimized and the optimal pixel size, diffraction distance, and method for image preprocessing are obtained. The three-layer ODNN designed in this work has a recognition accuracy rate of 95.3% for MNIST (handwritten digit set), compared with the 91.75% accuracy achieved by the five-layer ODNN in the reference (Lin X, Rivenson Y, Yardimci N T, Veli M, Luo Y, Jarrahi M, Ozcan A 2018 Science 361 1004). In addition, the system volume is greatly reduced and the system structure is simplified. Combined with the advantages of high speed and low power consumption, it has huge potential applications in the fields such as edge computing in the future.

Introduction: White Spot Lesion (WSL) is one of the major iatrogenic effect at the end of treatment that might reduce both patient’s and orthodontist’s satisfaction in otherwise promising treatment results. Flaxseed and Aloe Vera (AV) have been used as phytotherapeutic agents because of inherent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and healing properties. They were considered in this study for their effectiveness in remineralisation of WSL. Aim: To evaluate and compare the remineralisation potential of organic flaxseed paste, Aloe Vera gel and fluoride toothpaste on artificially created white spot lesions around orthodontic brackets using Vicker’s microhardness assessment, spectrophotometry and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Materials and Methods: This experimental in-vitro study was undertaken in Department of Orthodontics, SRM Dental College, Ramapuram, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, in October 2020. Forty eight extracted premolar teeth were exposed to demineralising solution for 48 hours in-vitro and randomly assigned to four groups: Group 1- untreated control, group 2- treated with flaxseed paste, group 3- treated with Aloe Vera gel and group 4-treated with fluoride toothpaste. All groups except control were treated with their respective remineralising paste for 28 days. Vicker’s Microhardness Number (VHN) and spectrophotometric values (∆L, ∆a, ∆b, ∆E) were evaluated for normal enamel, WSL, remineralisation after 14 and 28 days. The surface characteristics were analysed using SEM. Statistical analysis was performed using repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Bonferroni test was for pairwise comparison between groups with significance level p≤0.05. Results: Total of 48 extracted teeth were treated and analysed in their respective groups after 28 days. Aloe Vera gel showed highest surface microhardness (SMH) (144.09±6.05 VHN) and has statistically significant difference (p<0.001) compared to flaxseed paste (125.28±3.75 VHN) and then the fluoride toothpaste (121.20±5.12 VHN). There was no significant difference (p-value=0.31) between flaxseed paste and fluoride toothpaste. Significant (p-value=0.05) ∆E changes were observed in groups treated with flaxseed paste (16.39) and fluoride toothpaste (15.08) after 28 days. SEM verified mineral gain in all three treatment groups. Conclusion: All the three groups increased mineral gain. Aloe Vera gel showed promising results by significantly remineralising WSLs. Flaxseed paste and fluoride toothpaste had SMH recovery which was lesser than Aloe Vera gel but, these two groups significantly improved the colour of WSL.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder associated with low level of Total Testosterone (TT) and Hypogonadism. Estimation of High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) is useful for assessing the cardiovascular risk. Aim: To estimate serum TT and Hs-CRP levels in Diabetic patients and hence, the association of Diabetes with Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Cardiovascular risk. Materials and Methods: This was a case-control study with a case-control design, conducted at a tertiary care centre on 100 subjects,60 DM males as cases and 40 healthy male volunteers of same age, as controls, from June 2016 to May 2017. All the relevant demographic and clinical details i.e. age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure were noted for all subjects. All relevant tests i.e. serum TT by Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay analyser Enzyme Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA) method, serum Hs-CRP by immunoturbidimetry method, fasting and post-prandial glucose measurements, HbA1c were all done and results were tabulated and analysed. Chi-square test was used to calculate p-value. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) descriptive analysis was used to find out the mean, standard deviation, standard error and 95% confidence interval. Results: The mean of HbA1c among the case group was 8.185% and 5.004% among the controls. The mean value of TT among cases was 3.891 ng/dL, which was significantly reduced (p-value <0.005) as compared to healthy controls i.e. 5.339 ng/dL. Low level of TT (below 3.5 ng/dL) was seen in 45% of the cases among the diabetic study population which was statistically significant (p-value <0.0001). Seventy five percent of diabetics had erectile dysfunction. The mean value of Hs-CRP among diabetic population was 3.875 and controls were 1.457 mg/L (p-value 0.001). Based on Hs-CRP values, the subjects were sub-categorised into low, intermediate and high risk for CVD. A 31.7% of diabetics were in the intermediate group and 68.3% were in the high risk group for CVD. Conclusion: There was significant reduction in TT in Type 2 Diabetic men. Patients with low TT had increased Hs-CRP value among which 75% falling under high risk category and 25% under intermediate risk category. All the cases had serum Hs- CRP value of either intermediate or high risk category. Low level of TT was also associated with ED and PME.

Introduction: Most common carcinomas of lower urinary tract are of urothelial type in which, majority of them occur in the bladder. The demonstration of exfoliated neoplastic cells in urine sediment cytology is one of the choices of investigation. Aim: To study the morphology of atypical cells of urine sediment in unstained wet mount preparation and urine sediment obtained by cytospin smear stained with Papanicolaou stain. Materials and Methods: It was a descriptive observational study done over a period of 29 months i.e., from July 2016 to December 2018 at SS Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Davangere, Karnataka, India. Using non probability sampling method, 50 urine samples were analysed by DIRUI-H 500 a semi automatic urine analyser, which were further examined by wet mount preparation and cytospin smear stained with papanicolaou stain. Results were analysed by whether the smears were positive or negative for atypical cells based on the cytological and nuclear details. Results: The yield of Red Blood Corpuscles (RBCs) was significantly increased in cytospin preparation with morphology of RBCs was better appreciated in wet mount compared to cytospin preparation. The yield of atypical cells was significantly increased in cytospin preparation with the morphology of atypical cells were better appreciated in pap stained cytospin preparation compared to wet mount urine examination. Conclusion: Overall, cell yield and preservation of White Blood Corpuscles (WBCs), epithelial cell and atypical cells morphology was better in cytospin preparation, while RBCs were better appreciated in wet mount preparation. Cytospin technology is a quick, efficient and cost effective method for increasing cell yield in less cellular samples and also helps in providing better cellular morphological details.

Aims: The unprecedented arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic made the schools in the country adopt online mediums and platforms, so that learning may continue without causing potential harm to every student's health. Due to the non-availability of data on online distance learning readiness of senior high school students in Public Senior High School X, together with the dearth of literature that could guide school administrators and stakeholders in the school in crafting empirically established programs, projects, and innovation, the study was conducted.

Methodology: The study employed a descriptive-comparative and -correlational approach. It was participated by 346 senior high school students determined through multi-stage sampling. Their level of online distance learning readiness was assessed using a standardized instrument. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman rho rank correlation.

Results: Results revealed that senior high school students are generally capable and ready to learn online, using various technologies. The level of readiness significantly differed between grade level (P=0.04) and residence (P=0.007), favoring the grade 12 for the former, and those who live within the city proper for the latter. The study established a correlation exists between students’ stability of internet connection and their online distance learning readiness (P=0.003).

Conclusion: The study concludes that students’ maturity and constant immersion in various digital technologies play a vital role in making them more ready to learn online. The study also established that the stability of internet connection is indispensable in urging the students to actively participate in online distance learning.
