Inflation and inflation uncertainty in the Euro area by Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Onorante, Luca, Paesani, Paolo

“…A sequential dummy procedure provides further evidence of a structural break coinciding with the introduction of the euro and resulting in lower long-run uncertainty. It also appears that the direction of causality has been reversed, and that in the euro period the Friedman-Ball link is empirically supported, implying that the ECB can achieve lower inflation uncertainty by lowering the inflation rate.…”

Studies of oxime complexes by Shutie, Winston Michael

“…The complexes Fe(Ppo)2.H2O, Fe(Ppo)2 .2py and Fe(po)2.H2O were found to be high spin. This property contrasts the behaviour of iron(II) complexes derived from 2-nitrosophenols, which are low spin, and is rationalised in terms of conjugation effects and the bonding character of the pyrazol-4, 5-dione monooxime ligand. …”

Revisiting migrant networks: migrants and their descendants in labour markets

“…By focusing on the kinds of capital circulating between ties, including the dark side of social capital, the book offers insights into power dynamics and the potentially exclusionary dimension of networks. Taking a long term view, across generations, the research in this book shows how migrants and their descendants may mobilise resources to tackle discrimination and enhance their position within particular labour markets. …”

Human genome editing after the “CRISPR babies”: the double-pacing problem and collaborative governance by Wang, Leifan, Shang, Lijun, Zhang, Weiwen

“…The occurrence of the “CRISPR babies” in 2018 publicly brought this issue into sharp focus, and led to comprehensive regulatory reform in China and various countries around the world. The current article analyzes this event-driven regulatory reform in China by elaborating the most salient provisions designed to prevent risk and protect individual rights, public health, and social morality relating to human genome editing in four important sectors of law: biosecurity law, civil code, criminal law and patent law. …”
