  Tokens - The Future of Money in...

  Rachel O’Dwyer

  Wherever you look, money is being replaced by tokens. Digital platforms are issuing new kinds of money-like things, from phone credit, to shares, gift vouchers, game tokens, and customer data. These tokens are used to turn invisible stuff into assets, to pay wages, to track purchases, and to program and specify the terms of financial and political access and inclusion. What does it mean when online platforms become the new banks? What new types of control and discrimination emerge when money is tied to specific apps, or actions, politics, or identities? 
   
   
   
  By exploring the history of experiments in extra-monetary economies, O'Dwyer shows that private and grassroots tokens have always ghosted the real economy. But as the large tech platforms issue new money-like instruments, tokens are suddenly everywhere. Amazon's Turk workers getting paid in gift cards. Online streamers trading in wish lists. Gamers working for virtual gold. Coined memes selling for thousands. Bitcoin, gift cards, NFTs, customer data, and game tokens are the new money in an evolving economy. This challenges the balance of power between online empires and the state. For platforms, tokens can be an extra-regulatory sleight of hand. But for everyday users, workers, and online subcultures, tokens can also be subversive, a way of imagining what money could be, now and in the future.

  Why Elephants Cry is a fascinating frolic through the literature and evidence surrounding the use of unusual behavior of animals to measure and predict the environment. The role of animals, from the smallest ant to the biggest elephant, as predictors of environmental changes is framed around the climate crisis, which highlights the increasingly important part that animals will have to play in the future. 
   
   
   
  Renowned biologist Professor John T. Hancock collects anecdotal stories and myths along with scientific evidence, demonstrating that observation of animals can be of tangible use. He looks at the measurement of the air temperature using ants, crickets, and snakes, and goes on to assess the evidence that the observation of a wide range of animals can predict the weather or the imminent eruption of volcanoes and earthquakes. Evidence of animals being able to predict lunar and solar events, such as lunar cycles and the Northern Lights, is also considered. 
   
   
   
  This is the only time that all this literature has been brought together in one place, a fascinating reference for anybody interested in animals and the environment. The book is also an ideal supplementary textbook for students studying animal behavior.

  In many respects, Alzheimer’s is a brain form of Diabetes.Even in the earliest stages of the disease, the brain’s ability to metabolize sugar is reduced. Usually, insulin plays a significant role in helping the brain take up sugar from the blood. But, in Alzheimer’s, insulin is not very effective in the brain. Consequently, the brain cells practically starve to death.This book on Diabetes Mellitus aims at giving an insight into various aspects of this chronic disease and the risk factors that lead to it. The various ways it develops in the human body; the old and new approaches to treatment, both from a pharmacological and a non-pharmacological point of view. Ways to prevent and manage diabetes complications; how to improve the lives of diabetic patients who are faced with physical and psychological problems; statistical data from around the world focuses on the epidemiology and outlines the issue of the cost of Diabetes.Finally, this book links diabetes mellitus with Alzheimer’s disease as a different expression of Diabetes since it is closely associated with several critical neuronal factors implicated in dementia.

Joshi invite readers to explore what it takes to be successful with telemedicine. Enriched by captivating case studies, groundbreaking research, and firsthand experiences, Drs. Welch and Joshi unravel the complexities of telehealth, offering invaluable insights into its failures, successes, and untapped potential.  They point out that success in telehealth requires success in each of the five critical domains: Patient Success: Ensuring that patients not only receive the quality of care they expect but also experience it in a manner most suited to their preferences. Clinician Success: Empowering clinicians and healthcare organizations to deliver world-class care in a manner that complements their practice. Technology Success: Demystifying the technology that underpins telehealth, emphasizing the importance of intuitive, reliable platforms. Financial Success: Providing a framework for clinicians, insurers, and patients to reap the financial benefits of telehealth adoption. Compliance Success: Navigating the legal landscape of telehealth, helping clinicians leverage healthcare laws and regulations to their advantage.  By following the actionable strategies outlined in this comprehensive book, healthcare providers can transition from merely adopting telehealth to thriving with it.
