Big data approaches to healthcare systemsShubham Jain
The idea behind this presentation is to explore how big data will revolutionize existing healthcare system effectively by reducing healthcare concerns such as the selection of appropriate treatment paths, quality of healthcare systems and so on. Large amount of unstructured data is available in various organizations (payers, providers, pharmaceuticals). We will discuss all the intricacies involved in massive datasets of healthcare systems and how combination of VPH technologies and big data resulted into some mind-boggling consequences. Major opportunities in healthcare includes the integration of various data pools such as clinical data, pharmaceutical R&D data and patient behaviour and sentiment data. Finding potential insights from big data with the help of medical image processing techniques, predictive modelling etc. will eventually help us to leverage the ever-increasing costs of care, help providers practice more effective medicine, empower patients and caregivers, support fitness and preventive self-care, and to dream about more personalized medicine.

Workplace injuries continue to cost companies and their workers’ compensation insurers billions of dollars each year. Yet the combination of a new generation of industrial wearables, big data, and smart algorithms promises to change this picture for the better. Workers’ comp insurers and industrial organizations can benefit from partnering to drive these solutions into the workplace—in the process, decreasing claims, keeping industrial workers protected and productive, and bringing down costs across the board.
A hazard is defined as a "Condition, event, or circumstance that could lead to or contribute to an unplanned or undesirable event." Seldom does a single hazard cause an accident or a functional failure. More often an accident or operational failure occurs as the result of a sequence of causes. A hazard analysis will consider system state, for example operating environment, as well as failures or malfunctions.
While in some cases, safety or reliability risk can be eliminated, in most cases a certain degree of risk must be accepted. In order to quantify expected costs before the fact, the potential consequences and the probability of occurrence must be considered. Assessment of risk is made by combining the severity of consequence with the likelihood of occurrence in a matrix. Risks that fall into the "unacceptable" category (e.g., high severity and high probability) must be mitigated by some means to reduce the level of safety risk.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

MOST OCCUPATIONAL INJURY AND ILLNESS COSTS
ARE PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE
PAYERS
Page 2
6. Cogeo News
UC Davis researchers have found that workers' compensation insurance is not used
nearly as much as it should be to cover the nation's multi-billion dollar price tag for
workplace illnesses and injuries. Instead, almost 80 percent of these costs are paid
by employer-provided health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and
other disability funds, employees and other payers.
Authors of the study, published in the April issue of the Journal of
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, said this cost shifting leads to
artificially low workers' compensation premiums that should be used to
cover wage replacement and medical care for employees injured on the
job.
"This is a classic example of what we call a 'negative externality' in
economics -- where prices do not accurately reflect costs that spill over to
others and have negative social outcomes," said Paul Leigh, lead author of
the study and a UC Davis professor of public health sciences affiliated
with the UC Davis Center for Healthcare Policy. "Workers' injuries and
illnesses cost much more than what current workers' compensation
payments suggest, and the resulting low premiums provide little incentive
for companies to promote workplace safety."
In a study he published last year, Leigh, an expert in health and labor
economics, found that total annual costs for occupational injuries and
illnesses in 2007 were nearly $250 billion: $67.09 billion related to
medical care and $182.54 billion related to lost productivity.
In the current cost-of-illness study, Leigh showed that just 21 percent -- or
$51.7 billion -- of those costs were covered by workers' compensation. He
also identified who pays for the extra $198 billion -- or 79 percent.
By combining 2007 data from several government and nonprofit
organizations, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics and National
Council on Compensation Insurance, Leigh found that the medical
costs for occupational injuries and illnesses were primarily paid by these
sources:
Page 3
7. Cogeo News
Workers' compensation: $29.86 billion
Other non-workers' compensation health insurance: $14.22 billion
Workers and their families: $10.38 billion
Medicare: $7.16 billion
Medicaid: $5.47 billion
He also found that only $21.86 billion in lost productivity costs are paid by
workers' compensation insurers, with the remaining $160.68 billion
covered by other sources, including workers and their families, the Social
Security Disability fund and state disability funds.
"Cost-shifting affects everyone, because we're all paying higher Medicare
and income taxes to help cover that 79 percent," said Leigh.
He suggests three changes in current workers' compensation and
employee health practices to reduce cost shifting and overall costs and to
help ensure workplace safety:
1. Eliminate the stigma often associated with filing workers'
compensation claims by openly acknowledging the legitimacy of
using workers' compensation insurance for occupational injuries.
2. Encourage more states to adopt single-payer government-managed
workers' compensation systems to save administrative costs.
3. Link premiums with company-specific injury experience rather than
industry-wide estimates, which would encourage companies to
lower premiums by reducing workplace hazards.
"The ultimate goals should be to comprehensively address the way
occupational health is managed and establish cultures of safety for
workers," said Leigh.
More information: James Marcin, a UC Davis professor of pediatrics
affiliated with the UC Davis Center for Healthcare Policy, was the co-
author of "Workers' Compensation Benefits and Shifting Costs for
Occupational Injury and Illness."

NIOSH POCKET GUIDE TO CHEMICAL HAZARDS CD ROM
The NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards (NPG) is intended as a
source of general industrial hygiene information on several hundred
chemicals/classes for workers, employers, and occupational health
professionals. The NPG does not contain an analysis of all pertinent data,
rather it presents key information and data in abbreviated or tabular form
for chemicals or substance groupings (e.g. cyanides, fluorides, manganese
compounds) that are found in the work environment. The information
found in the NPG should help users recognize and control occupational
chemical hazards.

The move by the Environmental Protection Agency won immediate
support from environmental groups and public health advocates, who
said the EPA was protecting millions of Americans at risk of asthma
attacks, lung cancer, heart disease and premature death.
But congressional Republicans and industry officials called the rules overly
strict and said they could hurt economic growth and cause job losses in
areas where pollution levels are determined to be too high. “EPA’s
proposal could substantially increase costs to states, municipalities,
businesses and ultimately consumers without justified benefits,” said
Howard Feldman, director of regulatory and scientific affairs for the
American Petroleum Institute, the top lobbying group for the oil and gas
industry.

RECYCLED PAPER PREFAB HOME OFFERS SHELTER FOR REFUGEES AND THE HOMELESS
Prefabricated house made from recycled paper
could hold the key to affordable, green housing
It’s called the Universal World House, or the Wall AG, and although it may
not look like much, this eco-friendly, earthquake-proof and easy-to-
assemble home could be the answer for affordable shelter in
impoverished and war-torn countries. It might also be a glimmer of hope
for millions of people in need of shelter in America.
Created by Swiss designer Gerd Niemöller, the Universal World House
comes with built-in plumbing, 8 single and double built-in beds, shelves,
tables and an open veranda. The inside walls are designed with
honeycomb air vacuums that act as insulation and support for the entire
home structure.
Page 12
16. Cogeo News
The coolest part: the home is made from a material called Swisscell,
which is composed of recycled paper and cardboard, and altogether it
weighs less than 1,800 pounds (the equivalent to a VW Golf)! Oh, and it’s
also rain resistant.
An article in the UK Times Online says that more than 2000 homes have
been ordered by a Nigerian company, and “development aid agencies are
considering whether the houses could be used to accommodate those
fleeing from the cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe. South America, too, is
interested.”
The goal of the Universal World House is to get itself manufactured in
Germany, and then shipped to countries around the world that need it
the most. The only problem may be its $5,000 price tag, which is cheaper
than most homes, but still out of reach for many people.
