Growing Up and Out of Crime : Desistance, Maturation, and Emerging Adulthood
Developmental norms and expectations for young people aged 18–25 have diverged from previous generations, creating a new stage in the life course called Emerging Adulthood.Theory surrounding this stage of emerging adulthood emphasizes a delay in achieving turning points into adulthood that are typical of this age group.These delays, in turn, affect how maturation can influence the desistance from crime. Utilizing evidence from the narratives of justice-involved emerging adults, this book details key turning points for today’s young person trying to desist from crime.Building on evidence from researchers and theorists as well as from the author’s own narrative interviews, this book provides a brief and approachable review of the extant literature, summarizing work across the fields of developmental psychology, sociology, and criminology to provide the reader with an understanding of the maturation of young people in their late teens and 20s before concluding with considerations for policy and practice building from this evidence. Growing Up and Out of Crime is perfect for students, scholars, and academics who study youth, young adults, and their maturation, deviance, and desistance as well as for practitioners working with young people engaging in desistance.

Sustainability, Technology, and Finance : Rethinking How Markets Integrate ESG
This book explores the swiftly emerging nexus between sustainability, finance, and technology. Leading practitioners and academic thought leaders reflect on the ways in which technology and digitalization shape how sustainable finance professionals address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.Together, the contributors identify three spheres in which technology shapes how investors make sense of such issues:ESG and technology: finance professionals need to know about how technological innovations, such as chemical recycling for plastics, in the real economy shape firms’ ESG performance; ESG through technology: technological developments, such as AI and blockchain, can enable finance professionals to offer more fine-grained ESG analyses; andESG as technology: the ESG agenda itself is influenced by technological developments that are not well understood by practitioners (e.g., data mining for Bitcoin creating significant emissions).Using practically relevant examples and recent insights from people working in the field, the book explores the linkages between sustainability, technology, and finance in different contexts and shows how practitioners can accelerate needed change processes.This book primarily addresses practitioners in companies and investment firms as well as students enrolled in executive education and MBA programs.

How does mRNA maturation occur?
mRNA maturation occurs through a process called RNA processing. This process involves several steps, including capping, splicing, and polyadenylation. First, a 5' cap is added to the beginning of the mRNA molecule to protect it and help it bind to the ribosome. Then, introns (non-coding regions) are removed through a process called splicing, and the remaining exons (coding regions) are joined together. Finally, a poly-A tail is added to the end of the mRNA molecule to help stabilize it and regulate its translation. These steps ensure that the mRNA molecule is properly processed and ready for translation into protein.

Is cheese lactose-free due to maturation?
Cheese is not completely lactose-free due to maturation, but the lactose content does decrease during the cheese-making process. Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk, and it gets broken down by bacteria during fermentation. The longer a cheese is aged, the more time the bacteria have to break down the lactose. However, some lactose may still remain in the final product, so individuals with lactose intolerance may still need to be cautious when consuming cheese.

What are maturation processes and learning processes?
Maturation processes refer to the natural biological development and growth that occurs in an individual over time. These processes are largely influenced by genetics and occur without direct instruction or external influence. On the other hand, learning processes involve the acquisition of new knowledge, skills, or behaviors through experiences, instruction, and practice. Learning processes are influenced by environmental factors, social interactions, and cognitive development. Both maturation processes and learning processes play important roles in an individual's overall development and ability to adapt to their environment.

How does the maturation of mRNA occur?
The maturation of mRNA involves several steps. First, the pre-mRNA is processed by removing the non-coding regions, called introns, and joining the coding regions, called exons, through a process called splicing. Then, a 5' cap and a 3' poly-A tail are added to the mRNA to protect it from degradation and facilitate its export from the nucleus. Finally, the mature mRNA is ready to be translated into a protein by the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. This process ensures that only the necessary coding information is present in the mature mRNA for protein synthesis.

Why is a second maturation division necessary in mitosis?
A second maturation division in mitosis is necessary to ensure that each daughter cell receives an equal and complete set of chromosomes. This division helps to separate the sister chromatids, which were duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle, into two separate daughter cells. Without this second division, the daughter cells would not have the correct number of chromosomes, leading to genetic abnormalities and potential cell death.

Is there a lung maturation injection without inhibiting labor?
Yes, there is a lung maturation injection called betamethasone that is commonly used to help accelerate lung development in fetuses at risk of preterm birth. This injection has been shown to improve lung function and reduce the risk of respiratory distress syndrome in premature babies. While betamethasone does not directly inhibit labor, it is typically given to women at risk of preterm delivery, so it may coincide with efforts to delay labor and promote fetal lung development. However, the injection itself does not actively inhibit labor.

How can the second maturation phase of meiosis be utilized?
The second maturation phase of meiosis, also known as meiosis II, can be utilized to further reduce the chromosome number and produce genetically diverse gametes. During meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated, resulting in four haploid daughter cells with unique combinations of genetic material. This genetic diversity is important for sexual reproduction as it increases the chances of producing offspring with advantageous traits. Additionally, the reduction in chromosome number ensures that when the gametes fuse during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have the correct diploid chromosome number.

How many genetically different germ cells are possible after the first maturation division?
After the first maturation division, two genetically different germ cells are possible. This is because during this division, the homologous chromosomes separate, resulting in each germ cell receiving a unique combination of genetic material from the parent cell. This genetic diversity is important for the variation seen in offspring and is a key aspect of sexual reproduction.
