Summary

Summer Health Impacts explores how the summer season uniquely affects human physiology, diving into the science behind sunlight exposure, circadian rhythms, and immune system function. Did you know that sunlight exposure's impact on vitamin D synthesis varies significantly based on latitude and skin pigmentation, directly influencing bone health and immune response? The book uniquely provides a holistic view by integrating findings from diverse research areas. Beginning with foundational knowledge of biological systems, the book progresses to explore the specific interactions between summer conditions and these systems. For instance, the extended daylight hours of summer can disrupt our circadian rhythms, affecting sleep patterns, hormone production, and mental health; understanding these shifts is crucial for maintaining well-being. It emphasizes evidence-based information and practical recommendations.

 
This book delves into how summer's heat and ultraviolet radiation can either strengthen or weaken our defenses against infection and disease. By blending medical research data with accessible explanations, Summer Health Impacts empowers readers to make informed decisions about their health during the summer months, from optimizing sun exposure to managing sleep.

The Great Dead Body Teachers

Jackie Dent

An adventure into the world of anatomy and dissection. 
Since I was a child, I’ve been interested in dead bodies. When I was eight years old, I dug up the remains of my pet budgie Zazbut. He had been buried for about eight weeks in a patch of grass outside our house in Dasmarinas, a fortified village in Manila, in the Philippines. 
 
‘The first exhumation was the beginning of my intrigue with death, which has persisted. As a journalist, I’ve written about graveyards, funerals and death doulas. I always visit the local cemetery wherever I am in the world. But one thing that has largely been hidden from me in this death trip is the dead body. 
 
Dissection might not be a normal topic to contemplate but when both your paternal grandparents donate their bodies to science it does intermittently cross your mind. 
 
This is the story of how Jackie Dent’s grandparents - Ruby and Julie - gave their bodies to science when they died. No one in her family seems to know why, or what really happened with their bodies afterwards. Were they avid science buffs? Was it to save on cremation costs? How do scientists tackle the practicalities and ethics of cutting up the dead for research? And who are body donors generally? 
  
Weaving the personal with the history of anatomy and the dissected, Jackie Dent explores the world of whole-body donation — all the while looking for answers as to what happened to her grandparents.

Non-Fungible Token Finance

Jim Colajuta

We live in a capitalist world in which supply determines demand. If you reduce supply or increase demand, society will be obliged to accept scarcity, whether genuine or perceived. On February 16, 2021, the artist Beeple sold his Everyday: The First 5000 Days for a record-breaking $69.3 million in cryptocurrency at Christie's auction house. No auction house had before authorized the sale of digital files created on blockchain technology, nor had they ever accepted cryptocurrencies as a payment option. Bitcoin shares have already climbed to over $24,000 during the Covid-19 epidemic of 2020, a 224 percent increase. Two months after Beeple's historic art auction, Bitcoin set a new high of more than $64,000 per share on April 14, 2021. As a result, everyone's attention was drawn to NFTs, new cryptocurrencies, and the blockchain.Visual artists and musicians, writers, videographers, and others in the creative industries became aware of NFTs and the benefits they could provide to the art community. While the physical world appeared to be shutting down, the digital cosmos survived, grew, and entered new paradigms. Using the Internet as a revenue source during a global pandemic was a clever, new, and modern way for artists to continue their livelihoods. Artists have been able to advertise themselves to a wider audience as the NFT industry increases and become more mainstream, even if they have a minimal history in digital arts. Well-known public figures also benefit, perhaps reducing financial chances for lesser artists. Major brand familiarity and high-profile influencers encourage transactions across large corporations. Celebrities are now not only producing limited edition NFTs but also branding their own "social money." Social currency is a type of cryptocurrency released by a brand, community, or influencer to make their fans feel important and a part of their particular fandom.This book examines the technical underpinnings of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, notably
