Platform Business Models: Implications for Value CreationRobin Teigland
1. Platform business models are disrupting traditional linear "pipeline" models through network effects and access over ownership.
2. Ecosystem leadership is key for platform companies, requiring understanding users, expanding boundaries, leveraging resources, and cultivating trust across the ecosystem.
3. Many jobs will be automated through technologies like AI, robotics, and blockchain, while jobs requiring creativity, social-emotional skills, and non-routine problem solving will increase in demand. Skills will need to constantly adapt to an uncertain future.

The metaverse is a new digital revolution that combines physical and digital world to form an immersive and augmented metaverse world. Zuckerberg believes the metaverse is the next internet platform where we’ll shop, socialize, learn, play games and hold business meetings. Gartner predicts 25% of people will spend at least one hour a day in the metaverse by 2026. According to City Bank's report, the metaverse represents a potential $13 trillion opportunity by 2030, that could boast as many as 5 billion global users.
To make the metaverse vision a reality, however, a massive investment in the metaverse infrastructure, both physical and digital, will be required. On a journey to build a global collaboration network for building the sustainable metaverse infrastructure, this webinar gives a discussion stage.

Blockchain has potential applications in the energy sector by lowering costs, enabling trustless transactions, and facilitating peer-to-peer energy trading. It could transform energy demand and supply systems through applications like smart contracts for billing, energy lending, and trading renewable energy certificates. While the technology is still young, major energy players are investing in blockchain projects that could decentralize energy distribution and make use of distributed storage and smart devices.
Blockchain has potential applications in peer-to-peer energy trading. It allows direct transactions between energy producers and consumers without intermediaries. Two examples are described. The first is direct trading where prosumers announce energy availability on the blockchain network and trades are verified. The second uses a credit-based system where users submit purchase bids and the distribution system operator matches buyers and sellers. Energy companies globally are piloting various uses like P2P trading and smart appliances. Blockchain facilitates energy transition by empowering users but faces challenges like immature standards, regulation uncertainty, and high data storage needs.
Blockchain and the Future of Real Estate Industry: Is Revolution Coming?Denis Nemtsev
This document discusses how blockchain technology can revolutionize the real estate industry. It begins by explaining blockchain and how it provides a solution for money transfers by allowing fast, low-fee, peer-to-peer transactions without an intermediary. Blockchain principles like distributed ledgers and miners are also outlined. The document then explores several potential applications of blockchain in real estate, such as digitizing property titles to provide a single source of trust and streamlining transactions. Smart contracts are discussed as enabling online property crowdfunding and trading of shares. Finally, the document proposes a decentralized "Wikipedia for real estate data" to solve problems with inconsistent property listings information.
Understanding Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) AlgorithmsGautam Anand
The document summarizes Proof of Stake (PoS) and compares it to Proof of Work (PoW). It discusses how PoS works by having validators stake coins to validate transactions and forge new blocks, earning transaction fees, rather than expending computing power like in PoW. PoS is more efficient and deters attacks as validators who validate fraudulent transactions lose part of their stake. While a 51% attack is theoretically possible in PoS, it would require buying a majority of the total coin supply, making it impractical. Popular blockchains that use PoS include NXT, BlackCoin and Peercoin.

Making a Marketplace: A Checklist for Online DisruptionNir Eyal
On November 13, 2012, Bill Gurley, a partner at Benchmark Capital, posted a remarkable essay on his blog. In it, he described the, “10 factors to consider when evaluating digital marketplaces.” Given the tremendous value marketplaces are known to create and how hard they are to get right, we found this essay to be a goldmine of insight. We wanted to digest Bill’s post into a more memorable format.
The result is this brief checklist we hope will help take some of the luck out of evaluating marketplace businesses. As Bill wrote, “It is unlikely that you will find a marketplace opportunity that would score ten out of ten with respect to this list.” But according to Bill, the odds of success improve the more of these characteristics the business exhibits.

The document describes a team's efforts to commercialize a new protein quantification technology called PLA-Seq. After initially thinking the technology's value propositions of lower cost, faster throughput, and lower sample volume would appeal to pharmaceutical and personalized health companies, the team conducted customer interviews and learned accuracy was more important than cost to most customers. They also found their target markets should be preclinical biotech and academia rather than personalized health or CROs. The team incorporated their business and pivoted their marketing strategy and funding plans accordingly based on learnings outside of the building.
The document summarizes the development of Invisa Bio over 10 weeks as they pivoted between different medical applications and solutions for their self-assembling medical device technology. They initially focused on manufacturing and delivery but shifted to leveraging drug delivery mechanisms. They considered applications in cardiology, neurology, and orthopedics before focusing on brain aneurysms based on feedback from physicians. The company incorporated, raised funding, and began shadowing doctors to further develop their technology to address unmet needs in difficult to reach areas.
(1) The document describes the journey of a team developing a saffron supplement product to address mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
(2) It started with the goal of targeting adults aged 18-40, but through customer interviews and testing, they learned that teenagers were more interested in an anti-anxiety gummy product.
(3) Key lessons included the challenges of building the right team, navigating advice, knowing when enough customer feedback has been received, and setting individual and project milestones. The team is now continuing work over the summer to further develop the product.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
