Abstract

The destruction of Beirut’s port and large areas of the inner city following the August 2020 explosion occurred amid (and has exacerbated) an unprecedented national economic and social crisis portending another potential phase of urban “reconstruction” and a national political revolution. Critical scholars have highlighted the shortcomings of urban planning and governance in the city after the Lebanese civil war, particularly in terms of housing, infrastructure, and social inequalities, especially between the urban core and periphery. Beirut’s post-war reconstruction(s), guided by blended-scale governance (i.e., public/private, confessional/political, national/local) and a real estate-oriented growth model have neither managed to completely restore nor efface the city’s erstwhile status as an entrepôt of regional and international economic, cultural, and political importance but have instigated processes of rapid urbanisation and uneven development. These processes, historical trajectories, political and socio-economic dialectics, and shifts in urban political economy render Beirut relevant to the nascent empirical category of “relational cities,” i.e., cities whose geographical-historical profiles position them as urban nodes connecting regional-global-national systems of flows under globalised capitalism. This article positions Beirut in the context of the debate on relational urbanisation for empirical exploration, and also points to the evental possibilities for alternative geographies that flow from the October 2019 protests.

36. Financial derivatives and the theory of money

Author

Bryan, Dick and Rafferty, Michael

Subjects
Derivatives (Financial instruments) -- Usage, Money -- Analysis, Marxist economics -- Analysis, Social sciences
Abstract

Financial derivatives are used and counted as money, but it is unclear exactly what sort of money they are. This article explores the monetary role of financial derivatives in securing the global financial system. It finds that derivatives commensurate the values of different forms of financial assets, and, in the process, they facilitate continuity across different forms of money. In this role they are a form of commodity money, but very different from conventional understandings of commodity money. In developing this idea, the paper engages recent debates in Economy and Society about the nature of money. In particular, it takes issue with Ingham's state theory of money, which cannot adequately engage exchange rate volatility and extra-national roles of money, and Lapavitsas' approach to a Marxist theory of money, which relegates commodity money to a historical abstraction. Keywords: money; commodity money; financial derivatives; risk; commensuration; Marx.

44. Novel use of substituted 1,4-dihydrobenz(d)(1,3)oxazin-2-ones in the synthesis of important aminomethyl o-nitroanilines

Abstract

A study was conducted to characterize the synthesis of aminomethyl-substituted o-nitroanilines based from 6-bromo-5-methyl-8-nitro-1,4-dihydrobenzo(d)(1,3)-oxazin-2-one. A proposed mechanism involving azaquinodimethane intermediates was considered in the study. Results suggested that the generation of aquinodimethane intermediates can have a significant impact on organic synthesis associated with the synthesis of substituted nitrogen heterocycles.

46. New synthesis of substituted benzylamines: novel application of the Mitsunobu reaction to convert substituted benzyl alcohols to amines

Author

Abstract

A method for the synthesis of substituted benzylamines was developed based on Mitsunobu reaction conditions utilizing activated benzyl alcohols as starting material. The reaction of PPh3 with 6-methyl-3-nitro-2-aminobenzyl alcohol and an appropriate amine led to the formation of the target compounds which were purified by chromatography. The formation of the resulting versatile, multifunctional benzylamines under Mitsunobu conditions was characterized by the conjugate addition of amines to the azaquinodimethane.

Abstract

'Perestroika' is the term used to describe Mikhail Gorbachev's programs to restructure those aspects of Soviet economic and political policy that have proved inadequate. One of the areas targeted for reform is the Soviet health care system. Despite early successes, the Soviet system of universally available, socialized health care has deteriorated since the 1970s. Infant mortality has risen significantly and cardiovascular disease and alcoholism have reached epidemic proportions. Inequities exist in the delivery of services, with one standard of care available for certain elite groups and a lower standard provided to the general population. Corruption and 'under the table' payments to providers are common. Soviet medicine has also lagged behind other countries technologically. Only 50 CT (computerized tomographic) scanners are available in the entire Soviet Union. Other types of equipment, both permanent and disposable (such as syringes) are in short supply or nonexistent. Hospital care is inadequate and AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) continues to spread, with no realistic hope that it will be contained. In order to deal with these inadequacies, it has been proposed that the health care system be made less centralized, and more decisions be made on a local level. Further, a greater share of the gross national product will be devoted to health care. To some extent, there will be privatization of health care services in the form of health care 'cooperatives' owned by their staff members. Essentially these will be fee-for-service operations. However, the success of these ventures will depend on the willingness of the people to risk the insecurities of unemployment and inflation in return for the promise of increased material wealth. Success in the reform of health care will depend in large part on the future improvements in the Soviet economy in general. (Consumer Summary produced by Reliance Medical Information, Inc.)
