NANOTECHNOLOGY IN HEALTHCARE: FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS INVOLVED

Image
  “Nanoscience and Nanotechnology have seen exponential growth in research and applications in recent years. There is growing hope that nanotechnology, when applied to medicine, will lead to major advancements in disease detection and treatment. Drug delivery, diagnostics, cell therapy, and the manufacture of biocompatible materials are all expected applications in medicine. The front pages of scientific top journals are made up of examples and dreams. But when will we be able to master its capacity and the associated risks so that the patient will begin to benefit?” Nanotechnology is concerned with the manipulation and fabrication of materials from the ground up. We are increasingly becoming capable of constructing highly organized molecules with very specific properties using concepts that often imitate natural processes. Nanotechnology is fascinating because it combines physics, biology, and chemistry, and it necessitates open minds from researchers and technology developers in this

MEDICAL DELIVERY DRONES: GROWING ADOPTION AND CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY

Image
  “Drones are being used to combat the coronavirus in a variety of ways. Any of these applications are very dubious. Others are more important, such as the use of delivery drones. However, the use of cargo drones in the event of a pandemic should be questioned. Being more important does not automatically imply that all cargo drone ventures would have a positive effect.” The current health-care system in the United States is a jumble of disparate elements (health plans, hospital systems, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers). We anticipate that by 2040, the patient will be at the forefront of the health-care paradigm. Interoperable, always-on data will encourage closer collaboration among industry stakeholders, and incumbents and new entrants will deliver new service combinations (disruptors). Interventions and therapies would almost certainly be more effective, less complicated, less invasive, and less expensive. Health can be described holistically as a state of comp

EASE OF DOING BUSINESS INDEX (EODB): INDIA'S 63RD POSITION SIGNALS AN INVESTMENT FRIENDLY BUSINESS CLIMATE

  “Ease of Doing Business is one method for assessing the quality and efficiency of regulatory practises. It assesses the procedures for starting a business, obtaining a building permit, obtaining an electricity connection, relocating property, obtaining credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, engaging in international trade, imposing contracts, and resolving bankruptcy (The World Bank Group, 2019). Earlier studies on market regulation concentrated on its effect on foreign direct investment and the economy, or evaluated it as a method for deciding where to invest.” The History of the Ease of Doing Business Ranking The World Bank Group's Doing Business Survey is based on various government regulations that act as impediments to starting and operating a business in the country. For several years, the World Bank has published the ‘Ease of Doing Business Report.' In September 2003, the first report was completed. The first Ease of Doing Business Ranking report included

HOW AI AND ML ARE REVOLUTIONIZING THE EDTECH INDUSTRY?

Image
  “AI and ML (Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning) are creating havoc in several fields and industries, including education. The global AI in the education market will reach $5.80 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of ~45%.” EdTech has emerged as one of the most important sectors right now, thanks to rapid digitization and the use of technology. The phenomenal growth of this industry has attracted vast amounts of investment and funding from all over the world. Although many people continue to question the use of technology from a young age and the effects it can have on children, the sector continues to expand at a steady rate. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have proven to be extremely useful in this area. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly changing the face of education and altering educational technologies and institutions. The future of education is changing, and in a few years, things will look entirely different. Ed-tech is increasin

GLOBAL VACCINATION: HOW THE EVOLVING HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE IS SUPPORTING THE FIGHT AGAINST PANDEMIC

  COVID-19 (coronavirus) vaccines have started becoming accessible in most countries and are probably a severe product in fighting the pandemic in 2021. Several vaccines are already in the development trails or phase three trials that have reported promising data in the initial phase, with some receiving authorization for use. Now the focus is expected to shift to how quickly and successfully vaccines can be supplied and distributed, an effort that will be the largest simultaneous global public-health initiative ever undertaken. The challenge's scale is enormous: from the sheer volume of doses wanted to plan for uncertainties around the vaccines' efficacy, safety, and durability — and from logistical and storage challenges to the service-delivery model. Governments from around the globe are likely to mount communication and education campaigns to meet the consumer's concerns about vaccine safety. Especially, underserved populations excessively affected by COVID-19, includin

SPECIALTY FERTILIZERS: ADOPTION OF PRECISION FARMING DRIVING THE GROWTH

  Specialty Fertilizers have small particles that help to prevent moisture and support from discharging the nutrients into the crops, which helps in the optimistic growth of the crop. The specialty fertilizers' primary focus is nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, applied in generally enormous sums. There are 12 fundamental manure supplements needed to expand crop yield and quality and improve a harvest's capacity to utilize the essential supplements productively. Numerous forte items contain a portion of the auxiliary supplements and micronutrients. Even though these are needed in moderately more modest amounts, they are fundamental for adjusted harvest nourishment, and expanding the pace of essential supplements alone won't build yield. Rising Adoption of Precision Farming Technique Over the past two decades, precision farming has effectively made the change from being an academic research point to a profoundly gainful practice in farming. Around 70-80% of the equipment p

SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTION IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

 The global chemical industry caters to nearly every goods-producing sector and accounts for an estimated USD 5.7 trillion, as per the International Council of Chemical Association (ICCA) report published in March 2019. According to the report, the chemical industry contributes to global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) through indirect, direct, and induced impacts, equivalent to 7% of the overall world's GDP, and supporting around 120 million jobs worldwide. It is offering materials and substances to sectors such as agriculture, automotive, construction, and nutrition. The chemicals market is currently transforming post-COVID-19 pandemic, so chemical companies need to adopt new technologies in their operating models, businesses, and processes. In the global chemical industry, the supply chain management will face new challenges and new opportunities. Therefore, it is critical to understand key developments in the chemicals market and the resulting impact on the individual supply c
