Strategic Asset Management - Water Utilitiesjpfeliciano
Strategic Asset Management can play a role in utilities reform by taking a long-term, sustainable approach rather than short-term management. It requires analyzing all available data and information to create long-term plans that justify investments. Standardization can provide an integrated framework, while tools should support information, not be the focus. Starting simply by aligning objectives and criteria across levels can help implementation. Main benefits include improved sustainability, infrastructure integrity, and decision-making to address challenges like water scarcity.

Headstart Network morgenseminar 13/9 2016: Hvad er tillid?Seismonaut
I den digitale tidsalder er anmeldelser, reviews, likes og kommentarer med til at skabe en ny form for økonomi, hvor tillid er den valuta vi sparer op, rejser rundt på nettet med og betaler for vores ydelser med. Har man kun dårlige anmeldelser med i bagagen, er der ingen der vil handle, men har folk udtalt sig rosende om en, er det nemt at bruge nettets mange sociale platforme.
Den transparente virkelighed, som alle uundgåeligt er en del af, skaber nye konsekvenser for både virksomheder og individer. Og det handler ikke bare om deleøkonomi - nej, tænk meget større - det er på mange måder den digitale fremtid for os alle, der er i spil.
Men tillid som fænomen er ikke nyt. Så hvad er tillid egentlig? Hvilken betydning har det for vores samfund og økonomi? Og er tilliden i samfundet i forfald eller på vej op? Disse spørgsmål svarede Christian Bjørnskov, professor i økonomi ved Aarhus Universitet, på til Headstarts morgenseminar.
The document discusses how digital business models must adapt to rising customer expectations in the age of the customer. Customers now expect flexibility, convenience, personalized experiences, and value from both digital and physical offerings. Companies must use technology and data to deliver intelligent, seamless experiences across platforms. By focusing on customer centricity, companies can turn their brands into ecosystems that attract, acquire, retain, and co-create value with customers.
This document discusses transforming marketing from campaign-driven push marketing to "always on" marketing. It summarizes that consumers find commercials annoying and are using adblockers more. The document proposes that marketers 1) understand consumers deeper through customer journeys and micro-moments, 2) build a framework around hero, hub and help content, and 3) think and work more like a publisher with editorial meetings and a focus on quality, community-building and helpful content.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a simplified look into the mechanisms involved in the regulation of respiration:
