Among all nitrogen-containing heterocycles, the 1,8-naphthyridine scaffold has recently gained an immense amount of curiosity from numerous researchers across fields of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. This new attention can be ascribed to its versatility of synthesis, its reactiveness and the variety of biological activities it has exhibited. Over the past half-decade, numerous diverse biological evaluations have been conducted on 1,8-naphthyridine and its derivatives in a quest to unravel novel pharmacological facets to this scaffold. Its potency to treat neurodegenerative and immunomodulatory disorders, along with its anti-HIV, antidepressant and antioxidant properties, has enticed researchers to look beyond its broad-spectrum activities, providing further scope for exploration. This review is a consolidated update of previous works on 1,8-naphthyridines and their analogs, focusing on the past 5 years.

Do So

The half-decade running from mid-1982 to mid-1987 was a pretty good era for U.S. monetary policy, as these things go. Even the severe 1981-82 recession served its intended purpose of substantially restoring price stability. At least as judged by the outcomes for the standard objectives of macroeconomic policy, U.S. monetary policy was a distinct success. Economists hoping to say something useful about monetary policy in the 1980s have had a tougher time. The quantitative relationships connecting income and price movements to the growth of familiar monetary aggregates, including especially the M1 measure of the money stock that had been the chief focus of monetary policy during 1979-82, utterly fell apart during this period. It is difficult to escape the conclusion that there is now a conceptual vacuum at the center of the U.S. monetary policymaking process. In the meanwhile, the Federal Reserve System has not ceased operations. Nor should it be inclined to do so, in light of the performance of both income and prices during the past half-decade.

Over the past half decade, philosopher and political scientist Mihaela Miroiu published a series of short autobiographical stories that were eventually collected in a book, Cumintea mea de femeie [With my woman’s mind] (Bucharest: Cartea românească, 2017), which was reviewed in Aspasia (vol. 12) in 2018. While the whole volume deserves an international audience, I have selected the story “Medusa’s Smirk,” for translation because it sheds light on a topic little known, yet extremely important, in the lives of many women: sexual violence. Discussing sexual violence was a taboo topic under communism, and many women suppressed their traumatic memories of violence both seen and experienced. Yet accounts such as the one shared below have circulated orally and deserve further attention from scholars.

Coronaviruses are responsible for over 50% of all cases of flu in human and animals for the past half-decade. Most of the diseases were largely seasonal, mild, and self-limiting save for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and currently coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosed in 2003, 2012, and 2019, respectively. COVID-19 pandemic poses a threat to the entire globe with conflicting and controversial information, challenges in the pathogenesis, control, and management. A common denominator is that it has proven to be an equal opportunity disease and that of nature and nurture with hard psycho-socio- economic lessons for the entire globe.

This chapter reviews the literature on psycholinguistic aspects of language attrition over the past half decade. Descriptive data-based studies have continued to dominate during this time, providing needed groundwork for the emerging discipline. A few studies have continued theoretical threads from previous work, however, by examining attrition data from the perspectives of the regression hypothesis and markedness theory. We have also seen the beginnings of promising new lines of research which draw theoretical underpinnings from neighboring disciplines, most notably from the savings paradigm in cognitive psychology and from theories of codeswitching in bilingualism studies. Evidence on the effects in attrition of non-linguistic variables such as age, proficiency level, and literacy has continued to accumulate. Hesitation phenomena in attriter speech have begun to receive serious attention. Relearning, one of the main areas to potentially benefit from language attrition studies, is also gaining new research impetus at the turn of the century.

The ‘ABC’ Cement Industries Ltd has entrenched in the year 1955 in the most economically disadvantaged and industrially deprived location of Southern India. After words, the industry nourished as a very big cement industry in the region. Subsequently, the founders put their sustained efforts to emerge the ABC industry as a market leader. From the past half decade the company was creating thousands of employment opportunities to the unemployed youth in the region. At the outset the ABC cement industry produced only 200mts per day and later it has increased its production to 4000 TPDs after contraption. The then dynamic founder entrepreneur under whose custodianship the ABC cement industry was flourished, such founder was passed away and the industry is looked after by their heriditaries.

Belief in a god or gods is a central feature in the lives of billions of people and a topic of perennial interest within psychology. However, research over the past half decade has achieved a new level of understanding regarding both the ultimate and proximate causes of belief in God. Ultimate causes—the evolutionary influences on a trait—shed light on the adaptive value of belief in God and the reasons why a tendency toward this belief exists in humans. Proximate causes—the immediate influences on the expression of a trait—explain variation and changes in belief. We review this research and discuss remaining barriers to a fuller understanding of belief in God.

Musical robotics is a rapidly growing field, with dozens of new works appearing in the past half decade. This paper explores the foundations of the discipline and how, due to the ability of musical robots to serve as uniquely spatialized musical agents, it experienced a rebirth even in the face of loudspeaker technology's dominance. The growth of musical robotics is traced from its pre-computer roots through its 1970s renaissance and to contemporary installation-oriented sculptures and performance-oriented works. Major figures in the field are examined, including those who in recent years have introduced the world to human/musical robot interaction in a concert setting. The paper closes with a brief speculation on the field's future, with a focus on the increasing ease with which new artists may enter the field.

This article explores the causes for the pervasive sentiment in contemporary Eastern Europe to the effect that “it is democratic but it isn't”. It begins with a discussion of the differences between “procedural” and “substantive” democracy, and finds that the institutions of procedural democracy have proven surprisingly robust in the post-communist period. It then examines three variants of substantive democracy: liberal, national, and egalitarian. Each links democratic government to a particular social and economic order, none of which fully describes the actual situation within most states in the area. Finally, these distinctions between types of democracy are employed to illuminate the dynamics of both policy choices regarding restitution and privatization and electoral outcomes in the past half-decade.
