This document discusses the growing importance and credentials of herbal products from a scientific perspective. It notes that herbal medicines are still widely used in developing countries. The herbal market is growing but still much smaller than the animal health market. Herbal products are gaining credibility through standardization, analytical methods, and increasing technical research. For herbal products to be valid scientifically, they must demonstrate genuineness, safety, efficacy, and consistency. The document provides examples of analytical tests and methods used to establish these qualities in herbal products. It also profiles an Indian herbal veterinary company that has pioneered phytopharmaceuticals and focuses on research, development, and social responsibility initiatives.
This document discusses the role of ayurvedic products in livestock health and production globally. It notes that the total global herbal market for animal health is $100 billion, with growth in digestive, respiratory, dermal and nutrient replacer products. Herbal/phytoconstituent-based products are growing at a 20% compound annual growth rate. The reasons for their growing popularity include an increasing number of research papers and herbal pharmacopoeias establishing their scientific credibility as well as their comparatively lower development costs. India is well positioned to benefit due to its large biodiversity of medicinal plants and variety of animal species for testing. Examples are given of herbal applications for skin diseases, post-parturient disorders,
This document is a short list containing two goals: graduate successfully and own a home. It does not provide any other context or details about these goals.
This document discusses the importance of trust in relationships and organizations. It outlines five waves of trust development: self trust, relationship trust, organizational trust, market trust, and societal trust. Building trust happens gradually through consistent behaviors like transparency, sharing credit, and accountability. When trust is broken, it's important to act quickly, be candid, accept responsibility, apologize, avoid defensiveness and blaming, and seek forgiveness to repair the relationship. Case studies are provided as examples.
1. The Indian pharmaceutical industry is poised to take advantage of the size it has achieved through process patents and pursue new drug development opportunities in the large domestic and global markets.
2. India has a high intellectual capital workforce and low costs of drug development and clinical trials, providing opportunities for new drug introduction, R&D consolidation, and contract research.
3. While generics will still be a focus, companies are also investing in indigenous new drug development, natural products research, and licensing deals for new chemical entities.
POERUP was an EU-funded project which began in November 2011 and produced its final report in October 2014. Its purpose was to develop OER-friendly policy recommendations, based on analysis of existing OER initiatives, countries, policies and case studies.
A key part of the work was collecting a wide range of OER and MOOC initiatives from countries round the world. By the end of the project POERUP had created a curated map/database of over 500 open education initiatives, both OER and MOOC. This mapping work had three important aspects:
1. The project began by creating a number of Google Map Tools consisting of ad hoc maps and charts, using Google Map Engine Pro and Google Charts. The initial aim was to gain familiarity with the mapping issues, but the end result was a simple set of procedures whereby many projects can map their results using data from a spreadsheet such as Excel or GoogleDocs, rather than from a sophisticated database.
2. The project then created a Custom Map Tool driven by the sophisticated "noSQL" database MongoDB to allow display of and search for OER initiatives, as part of a wider initiative to document and allow search for open education initiatives, including MOOCs. The core database technology and approach were chosen to be scalable to high performance as well as being open source and Linked Data-ready. The Open API it makes available facilitates future use by different groups working collaboratively on problems of collecting, mapping and analysing open education initiatives, including but not only eMundus, SharedOER, D-TRANSFORM, OER Africa and Hewlett-funded initiatives in this area. Though sophisticated, the database can be loaded from a standard spreadsheet using some simple mark-up conventions.
3. Sero created Semantic Map Tools using Semantic Maps, a module of Semantic MediaWiki, hosted on Referata to support the POERUP wiki. Semantic MediaWiki is a powerful extension of the MediaWiki software. (MediaWiki is used also for WikiEducator and Wikipedia.)
The implication of this work is that a wide range of projects looking to analyse "initiatives" of a wide range of types, can now represent them on maps. It is especially easy and powerful to do this if the project makes use of Semantic MediaWiki. Since standard MediaWiki databases can be loaded into Semantic MediaWiki and spreadsheets can be used to create sets of template-driven wiki pages, this means that many of the existing wikis of educational material can rapidly benefit from this approach. Already this work is being applied to wikis of virtual schools, virtual universities and quality and benchmarking projects and agencies.
The presentation concludes with some reflections on the POERUP and related work and leaves the audience with some Thoughts.

OER and MOOCs need competency-based higher educationPaul Bacsich
This document discusses the need for competency-based higher education to better support open educational resources (OER) and massive open online courses (MOOCs). It summarizes recommendations from the POERUP project for improving assessment, accreditation, and quality assurance of online and OER-based learning. Key recommendations include having universities improve processes for accrediting prior learning from online studies and OER, creating open accreditors to accredit qualifications leading to degrees, and transitioning the European Bologna Process from a time-based to a competence-based model.
The overall aim of POERUP is to carry out research to understand how governments can stimulate the uptake of OER by policy means, not excluding financial means but recognising that in the current economic situation in Europe the scope for government financial support for such activities is much less than it has been in some countries.
We do not want to formulate policies based on informal discussions. We want the policies to be evidence-based policies – and based on looking beyond – beyond one’s own country, region or continent, and beyond the educational sector that a ministry typically looks after.
One aspect of this is to foster the potential of new technologies for enhancing innovation and creativity, in particular by researching policies designed to foster a lifelong learner mindset in learners – leading to curiosity, creativity and a greater willingness to consume OER.
We also want to provide education authorities, the research community and OER initiative management with trustworthy and balanced research results, in which feedback from all stakeholder groups has been incorporated and which can be used as standard literature. A specific objective is to help readers in charge of OER initiatives to foresee hidden traps and to find ways of incorporating successful features of other initiatives. POERUP is about dispassionate analysis, not lobbying.
We aim to provide policymakers and education authorities above institutions, but also OER management and practitioners within institutions, with insight into what has been done in this area, plus a categorization of the different major initiatives and the diverse range of providers. Policy advice is needed explicitly to address Issues like critical thinking in the use of new technologies/media, risk awareness, and ethical/legal considerations. Our review will provide practical and concrete information in order to contribute towards a more informed approach in the future.
POERUP is doing this by:
• studying a range of countries in Europe and seen as relevant to Europe, in order to understand what OER is going on, and why it is going on (or might soon cease to be going on) – and taking account of reports from other agencies studying OER in other countries;
• researching case studies of various end-user–producer communities behind OER initiatives in order to refine and elaborate recommendations to formulate a set of action points that can be applied to ensuring the realisation of successful, lively and sustainable OER communities;
• developing informed ideas on policy formulation using evidence from our own and other studies, our own experience in related projects and ongoing advice from other experts in the field.
Finally, these results are being disseminated and maintained in a sustainable way.
The project has a web site http://www.poerup.info and a wiki http://poerup.referata.com for country reports and other outputs. This wiki will be sustained after the end of t
The document describes the business model of Mumbai Tabela Market which houses approximately 1300 cattle sheds called Tabelas that house over 100,000 milking buffaloes. The Tabelas are independently owned and managed in a hierarchy with owners, Mehtas who oversee daily operations, and Bhaiyyas who care for the buffaloes. Most buffaloes are kept for around 10 months to produce milk before being sold if production is insufficient. The market provides a key source of milk for Mumbai.

Heat stress negatively impacts dairy animals through decreased feed intake, reduced milk production and quality, and increased reproductive issues. Natural remedies containing extracts from plants like tulsi and ashwagandha can help regulate cortisol levels and minimize the ill effects of heat stress by reducing oxidative stress and maintaining energy levels. Adding these remedies to feed in powder or liquid form provides a good return on investment through increased milk production and quality.

This document discusses the generations of operating systems. It describes six generations from Generation Zero in the 1940s to the current Generation Six. Each generation brought improvements like making hardware more usable, supporting time-sharing to avoid delays between jobs, multi-programming and multi-processing, compatibility across systems, personal computers, and network connectivity. Operating systems have evolved significantly over these generations to support newer hardware, more users, and distributed computing.
