"Microfinance Metaverse Intervention in Changing Context" delves into the transformative intersection of microfinance and the burgeoning metaverse. As the digital realm of the metaverse expands, the book explores its profound implications on microfinance, examining how virtual banking and digital currencies are revolutionizing grassroots financial services. Beyond traditional models, microfinance institutions are now tapping into virtual economies, leveraging immersive technologies to reach underserved populations with unparalleled efficiency. The narrative seamlessly intertwines the technological nuances of the metaverse with the core principles of microfinance, offering insights into the democratization of finance in this digital age. Yet, with innovation come challenges. The book doesn't shy away from addressing the regulatory hurdles, ethical dilemmas, and socio-economic considerations that this fusion introduces. A groundbreaking exploration, it lays the foundation for understanding the next frontier in financial inclusion in our ever-evolving digital landscape.
This volume provides the first major systematic and timely analysis of the security consequences of international population movements. Whereas other studies have considered refugee flows as a result of conflict, and migration as a result of changes in the international political economy, the contributors to this pioneering volume consider the consequences of these population movements - including ethnic population movements in the former Yugoslavia - and examine the security and internal stability of the societies, states, and regimes involved.
Covers such topics as electrochemical synthesis of non-stoichiometric hydroxyapatite-nanodiamond composite coating; electrodeposited biomimetic hydroxyapatite functionalized by lactoferrin for its potential use as bone-implantable biomaterials; and, preparation of CuInSe2 thin films and its potential application in photovoltaic devices.
A low-dimensional magnet is a key to the next generation of electronic devices. In some respects, low-dimensional magnets refer to nanomagnets (nanostructured magnets) or single-molecule magnets (molecular nanomagnets). They also include the group of magnetic nanoparticles, which have been widely used in biomedicine, technology, industries, and environmental remediation. Low-dimensional magnetic materials can be used effectively in the future in powerful computers (hard drives, magnetic random-access memory, ultra-low power consumption switches, etc.). The properties of these materials largely depend on the doping level, phase, defects, and morphology. This book covers various nanomagnets an...
Ayurveda is widely considered to be one of the oldest health care traditions still in practice today. Originating in India over 3,000 years ago, it is now increasingly recognized and practiced globally including in many European countries and the United States. Food and nutrition play a crucial role in the health care wisdom of Ayurveda. The Ayurvedic Science of Food and Nutrition discusses the various principles of healthy eating as prescribed by Ayurveda. Divided into three sections, it addresses the fundamentals, the clinical applications, and the future challenges of Ayurveda. Specifically, the book discusses issues such as the concept of diet, the use of food as medicine, especially to treat diabetes and cancer, convalescent food practices, and fasting therapy. The Ayurvedic Science of Food and Nutrition is unique in that it is one of the only books to investigate the scientific rationale behind Ayurveda, enabling this health care tradition to potentially be incorporated into a Western clinical practice model when this latter conventional therapy is found to be ineffective.

This volume summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of HIV-1 latency, in characterizing residual viral reservoirs, and in developing targeted interventions to reduce HIV-1 persistence during antiretroviral therapy. Specific chapters address the molecular mechanisms that govern and regulate HIV-1 transcription and latency; assays and technical approaches to quantify viral reservoirs in humans and animal models; the complex interchange between viral reservoirs and the host immune system; computational strategies to model viral reservoir dynamics; and the development of therapeutic approaches that target viral reservoir cells. With contributions from an interdisciplinary group of investigators that cover a broad spectrum of subjects, from molecular virology to proof-of-principle clinical trials, this book is a valuable resource for basic scientists, translational investigators, infectious-disease physicians, individuals living with HIV/AIDS and the general public.
