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.

Digital Cultural Heritage
This book provides an overview of various application spheres and supports further innovations needed in information management and in the processes of knowledge generation.The professions, organizations and scientific associations involved are unusually challenged by the complexity of the data situation.Cartography has always been the central field of application for georeferencing digital cultural heritage (DCH) objects.It is particularly important in enabling spatial relation analysis between any number of DCH objects or of their granular details.In addition to the pure geometric aspects, the cognitive relations that lead to knowledge representation and derivation of innovative use processes are also of increasing importance.Further, there is a societal demand for spatial reference and analytics (e.g. the extensive use of cognitive concepts of "map" and "atlas" for a variety of social topics in the media).There is a huge geometrical-logical-cognitive potential for complex, multimedia, digital-cultural-heritage databases and stakeholders expect handling, transmission and processing operations with guaranteed long-term availability for all other stakeholders.In the future, whole areas of digital multimedia databases will need to be processed to further our understanding of historical and cultural contexts.This is an important concern for the information society and presents significant challenges for cartography in all these domains. This book collects innovative technical and scientific work on the entire process of object digitization, including detail extraction, archiving and interoperability of multimedia DCH data.

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.

Cultural Heritage and Mass Atrocities
A pathbreaking call to halt the intertwined crises of cultural heritage attacks and mass atrocities and mobilize international efforts to protect people and cultures. Intentional destruction of cultural heritage has a long history.Contemporary examples include the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan, mosques in Xinjiang, mausoleums in Timbuktu, and Greco-Roman remains in Syria.Cultural heritage destruction invariably accompanies assaults on civilians, making heritage attacks impossible to disentangle from the mass atrocities of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing.Both seek to eliminate people and the heritage with which they identify.Cultural Heritage and Mass Atrocities assembles essays by thirty-eight experts from the heritage, social science, humanitarian, legal, and military communities.Focusing on immovable cultural heritage vulnerable to attack, the volume's guiding framework is the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), a United Nations resolution adopted unanimously in 2005 to permit international intervention against crimes of war or genocide.Based on the three pillars of prevent, react, and rebuild, R2P offers today's policymakers a set of existing laws and international norms that can and--as this book argues--must be extended to the protection of cultural heritage.Contributions consider the global value of cultural heritage and document recent attacks on people and sites in China, Guatemala, Iraq, Mali, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen.Comprehensive sections on vulnerable populations as well as the role of international law and the military offer readers critical insights and point toward research, policy, and action agendas to protect both people and cultural heritage.A concise abstract of each chapter is offered online in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish to facilitate robust, global dissemination of the strategies and tactics offered in this pathbreaking call to action. The free online edition of this publication is available at getty.edu/publications/cultural-heritage-mass-atrocities.Also available are free PDF, EPUB, and Kindle/MOBI downloads of the book.

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.
