This paper aims to provide a detailed analysis of the issues related to full employment versus unemployment.Keynes wrote in an era marked by mass unemployment, degradation, and suffering on an incredible scale.A reasonable person could have argued for the failure of capitalism, reaching the conclusion that only major institutional changes-perhaps the nationalization of the means of production-could restore economic health.In fact, many economists came to this conclusion:a large number of British and American intellectuals, who had no particular antipathy toward markets and private property, became socialists during the years of the economic depression, simply because they saw no other way to overcome the massive failures of capitalism.However, Keynes argued that these breakdowns had limited technical causes.We are faced with a technical problem,he wrote in 1930, at a time when people were sinking into recession.And because J.M. Keynes saw the causes of mass unemployment as technical and limited, he argued that the key problem could also be limited and technical: the system will need a new alternator,but the whole machine does not need to be replaced .While many of his contemporaries wanted the government to take over the entire economy,Keynes maintained that far less intrusive policies could secure adequate effective demand, allowing the market economy to function as before

The simultaneous emission of two protons is an exotic and complex three-body process. It is very important for experimental groups investigating the nuclear stability on the proton drip line to have a simple rule predicting the two-proton decay widths with a reasonable accuracy for transitions between ground as well as excited states in terms of relevant physical variables. In spite of its complexity, we show that the two-proton emission process obeys similar rules as for binary emission processes like proton, alpha and heavy cluster decays. It turns out that the logarithm of the decay width, corrected by the centrifugal barrier, linearly depends upon the Coulomb parameter within one order of magnitude. On the other hand, the universal linear dependence with a negative slope between the logarithm of the reduced width and the fragmentation potential, valid for any kind of binary decay process, is also fulfilled for the two-proton emission with a relative good accuracy. As a consequence of pairing correlations the two protons are simultaneously emitted from a singlet paired state. We evidence that indeed one obtains a linear dependence between the logarithm of the reduced width and pairing gap within a factor of two, giving a good predictive power to this law. It turns out that the diproton and alpha-cluster formation probabilities have similar patterns versus the pairing gap, while in the one-proton case one has a quasi-constant behavior.

In this paper we will consider the supposed changes of postmodernity in the family. In this respect, we will focus on a few moral-legal perspectives, but to the extent that they will reveal the new dimensions regarding family life and what the current life dominated by technology and excessive somatization implies. The family thus based on the traditional marriage has evolved into a modern form, now reaching what we call the postmodern family. Under the influence of human rights, the specific legal framework of each country and other related laws, at present, each member of the family can be in control of his body and his social and even intimate relations, etc. The equality thus enshrined between the members of the family has led to the situation in which the biological differences have lost their consistency. At the same time, in the family field, the common morality and the religious conscience were outdated and even replaced with the secular values. What was decades ago completely forbidden (adultery, same-sex sexual intercourse, prostitution) is no longer necessarily sanctioned or promiscuous. In this regard, the intimate life knows a kind of relaxation. About all the dimensions reported here, we will discuss further in detail.

We use the available experimental Gamow-Teller β− and β+/EC (electron-capture) decay rates between 0+ and 1+ ground states in neighboring even-even and odd-odd nuclei, combined with 2νββ half-lives, to analyze the influence of the nuclear environment on the weak axial-vector strength gA. For this purpose, the proton-neutron deformed quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pn-dQRPA), with schematic dipole residual interaction is employed. The Hamiltonian contains particle-hole (ph) and particle-particle (pp) channels with mass-dependent strengths. In deriving the equations of motion we use a self-consistent procedure in terms of a single-particle basis with projected angular momentum provided by the diagonalization of a spherical mean field plus the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. Our analysis evidenced a quenched average effective value ⟨gA⟩ ≈ 0.7 with a root-mean-square deviation of σ ≈ 0.3 for transitions from even-even emitters and σ ≈ 0.6 for transitions from odd-odd emitters.

This study addresses two objectives: first to innovate, through utilizing an analyzer designed by one of us to design the bioelectric potential of blood whose value can be used for screening patients and healthy subjects; and secondly, to develop a novel diagnosis method. To date, there is no known method of determining the electric potential of blood.

The study analyses the significance of the plasmatic values of the OPN dosed to 91 people suffering from diastolic cardiac dysfunction with preserved ejection fraction, thus revealing significant growths of its level compared to the normal value. Despite being a clinical research, its conclusions are a breakthrough, differing from the results of other studies published in the relevant medical literature. We can make this assertion because this study analyses the clinical information given by the circulating values of the OPN, based on experimental models (animals), or on patients with congestive heart failure, which can be identified with the existence of a low systolic flow. The results of our study allow us to assert that the plasmatic values of this glycoprotein lead to its acceptance in the medical practice as a new biomarker that provides indicators regarding the stratification of risk with the patients suffering from heart failure of the diastolic dysfunction type, but whose systolic flow is preserved.

We investigate the influence of a strong laser electromagnetic field on the decay rate of the α-emission processes. We define the parameter D = S0/R0, depending on the geometrical nuclear radius R0 and S0∼I/ω2, where I is the beam intensity and ω the frequency. The barrier penetrability within the static approach has an important increase for D > Dcrit = 1, due to the fact that the resulting Coulomb potential becomes strongly anisotropic. The influence of the laser field can be expressed in terms of a shifted Geiger-Nuttal law by a term depending on S0 and deformation. On the other hand, the adiabatic approach also predicts an important change of the decay width under the influence of the laser beam.

We present an overview of a unified description of the structure and α-emission properties of even-even nuclei. The low-energy spectrum relevant for α-emission is described within the framework of the Coherent State Model (CSM). The treatment of the α-emission process is based on an α-daughter interaction containing a monopole component, calculated through a double folding procedure with a M3Y interaction plus a repulsive core simulating the Pauli principle, and a quadrupole-quadrupole (QQ) interaction. The decaying states are identified with the lowest narrow outgoing resonances obtained through the coupled channels method. The α-branching ratio to the first excited state is reproduced by means of the QQ strength. Simultaneously, a reasonable agreement is obtained for the α-branching ratios to the second and third excited states.

The gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is recognized in medical practice as a useful indicator for the detection of liver lesions, especially those induced by the excessive consumption of alcoholic or cholesterol-associated drinks. The present study, although it includes a very small number of cases diagnosed with colon diverticulosis-diverticulitis associated with polyposis at the same intestinal level, identifies the presence of increased circulating concentrations of this enzyme in the serum. Its serum levels are tracked “dynamically” throughout a year after the diagnosis and start of the therapy. The study calls into question the release of the enzyme from the edge of the enterocytes’ brush-like edge, leading to the pathogenic disturbance of regional redox homeostasis. The hypothesis gives the circulating values of GGT predictive value for cellular oxidative stress, as well as for indirectly expressing the glutathione level in cytosol.
