    Chemical processing with ionic liquids and carbon dioxide
    A new and general type of process for the chemical industry is presented using ionic liquids and supercritical carbon dioxide as combined reaction and separation media. In this process, the carbon dioxide pressure controls the miscibility of reactants, products, catalyst and ionic liquid, enabling fast atom-efficient reactions in a homogenous phase as well as instantaneous product recovery in a biphasic system. High reaction and separation rates can be achieved compared with the conventional fully biphasic alternative. Experimental and theoretical methods are used to find the operating conditions of the new approach. When the ionic liquid/carbon dioxide process is applied to the production of 1600 ton/year Levodopa, a medicine against Parkinsonian disease, the energy consumption is reduced with 20,000 GJ per year and the waste generation is reduced with 4800 ton of methanol per year and 480 kg catalyst per year, resulting in a decrease in total operational costs of 11.3 million euros per year.

    Great Leveler
    Are mass violence and catastrophes the only forces that can seriously decrease economic inequality? To judge by thousands of years of history, the answer is yes. Tracing the global history of inequality from the Stone Age to today, Walter Scheidel shows that it never dies peacefully. The Great Leveler is the first book to chart the crucial role of violent shocks in reducing inequality over the full sweep of human history around the world. The "Four Horsemen" of leveling--mass-mobilization warfare, transformative revolutions, state collapse, and catastrophic plagues--have repeatedly destroyed the fortunes of the rich. Today, the violence that reduced inequality in the past seems to have diminished, and that is a good thing. But it casts serious doubt on the prospects for a more equal future. An essential contribution to the debate about inequality, The Great Leveler provides important new insights about why inequality is so persistent--and why it is unlikely to decline anytime soon.

    Advances in Precision Livestock Farming
    The livestock sector is facing increasing pressure to develop more 'climate-smart' methods that can be used to prevent the onset of major diseases, whilst also monitoring the efficiency and environmental impact of livestock production. Advances in Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) provides a comprehensive review of the recent advances in the development of precision livestock technologies that use continuous, automated, real-time monitoring of animal traits to improve health, welfare and behaviour. The collection tackles the major issues faced by the dairy sector (mastitis, lameness and metabolic disorders) and how PLF technologies can decrease the likelihood of such diseases occurring. Edited by Professor Daniel Berckmans, Katholieke University of Leuven, Belgium, Advances in Precision Livestock Farmingwill be a standard reference for livestock scientists in universities and research centres, precision farming manufacturers, and government and private sector agencies involved in the regulation of newly developed technologies to improve the health and welfare of livestock.

    Proposal for the implementation of native crops from an educational perspective
    In Toca Boyacá, the practice of cultivating ancestral foods such as potatoes, arracacha, ibia, ruba, turnip and pumpkin shows a significant decrease, as well as their daily consumption by the 10,561 inhabitants of the municipality. This lack of food production and consumption, in addition to the lack of efficient policies for the promotion and dissemination of native foods, or the lack of training in topics related to nutrition based on pre-Hispanic foods in educational institutions, lead to a neglect of local traditions and their replacement by foreign practices, a problem combined with the implementation and production of monoculture crops. The research sought to develop pedagogical proposals to encourage research processes from social classes, to revalue traditional knowledge about food, to promote and disseminate the uses and ancestral knowledge of native foods, mainly for their nutritional benefits and their socio-cultural and historical component, thus strengthening the local identity of the inhabitants of Toca.

    Behavior of intrapulmonary pressures with reversal of the pressure ratio.
    A phase 3 controlled clinical trial on intrapulmonary pressures during laparoscopic cholecystectomy was conducted at the Manuel Ascunce Domenech University Hospital, from September 2016 to February 2020. The universe consisted of patients who met the inclusion criteria and a sample of 106 patients who were divided into two groups of 53 patients each, by simple random method. The primary source of data collection was the medical records and the results of a survey. The data were collected in a model designed according to the bibliography. Results: There was an increase in peak inspiratory pressure and plateau pressure after pneumoperitoneum with a decrease in both after inversion of the I:E index, as well as arterial hypertension, arrhythmias and arterial hypotension, unrelated to the application of the inverted I:E index. Conclusions: The inversion of inspiration expiration contributed to improve the effects of pneumoperitoneum on intrapulmonary pressures while maintaining adequate oxygenation and null cardiovascular effects.

    Habits: 30 Habits in 30 Days That Will Change Your Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 45min
    You may not know it, but habits are something that we learn to do automatically. Every day, we go through the process of following the same patterns and routines, but did you know you can use this for your own benefit? In every area of your life, habits determine how successful people are in their professional lives as well as in relationships and general conduct of their lives. If you were to ask an entrepreneur about habits, they would tell you that these form the basis for their success. It's the same in every area of your life, from getting up in the morning, right through to getting into bed. Habits are your behaviors, but what's interesting is that scientists have found that the number of neurons that actively support these habits decrease in adults, as opposed to increasing. They were puzzled by this and when they studied it further, found that when neurons are not used, they tend to decrease. The connections between neurons are key to improving your performance. It is clear, for example, that if you do not paint pictures, the neurons that deal with the artistic area of your brain will be less active than those in someone who paints. He further purports that babies are born with what he describes as a "blank canvas" where everything is indeed possible, whereas adults limit their capabilities by honing in on certain skills that they know they are good at. They tend to dismiss those areas where their own personal strengths do not apply and thus the neurons group into limiting groups that highlight the strengths and take away what may be perceived as weaknesses. ungekürzt.
