The document discusses the rise of the global economy and the forces driving changes in global production patterns. It notes that consumer goods today are often made in various countries, demonstrating international economic interdependence. It also describes how multi-national corporations have expanded production globally in search of resources and markets. Technological advances in transportation and communication have further facilitated this globalization trend by enabling just-in-time manufacturing and inventory practices across borders.

Each day, an average person makes use of goods and services of multiple origins—for instance, the Finnish mobile Nokia and the US toy-maker’s Barbie doll made in China but used across the world; a software from the US-based Microsoft, developed by an Indian software engineer based in Singapore, used in Japan; the Thailand-manufactured US sports shoe Nike used by a Saudi consumer.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
2. Global Economy
• Common to buy clothing anywhere in US which
has a tag labeled, ‘Made in Malaysia, China or
Sri Lanka’
• Simple observation reminds us that our
consumption of goods has a strong international
character
• Increasingly true to speak not only of national
economies but a larger, highly inter-connected
and interdependent- GLOBAL ECONOMY
• Before discussing basic mechanisms of
industrialization and economic change within
Third World, important to look at the broader
global industrial environment within which these
nations are forced to compete
3. Setting the Stage: Origins of the Global
Economy
• Since 1970s world economy hit by
turbulent forces
• Unemployment in western countries
• Traditional industries (iron and steel) have
declined
• LDCs bearing huge financial debts which
threaten drive for development
• Trading tensions have emerged between
industrial countries and the newly
industrializing countries
4. Forces Surrounding Global System of
Production
• These five factors are affecting production
patterns:
• 1. Trans-national or multi-national
corporations (MNCs)-firms that operate in
many nations
• Increasingly these firms have local production
points and suppliers that operate across national
boundaries providing and securing labor, capital
and other resources from a variety of places and
which have become very powerful and important
influences in the global economy
5. Sequential Model of TNC Development
• Stage I- Serve domestic market only
• Stage II- Export to overseas markets through
independent channels (sales agents)
• Stage III- Establish sales outlets in overseas
markets by acquiring local firm and/or setting up
new facility
• Stage IV- Establish production facility overseas
by acquiring local firm and/or setting up new
facility
6. Forces Surrounding Global System of
Production
• 2. National governments- through their
industrial, trade and foreign policies especially
liberalization policies
• Liberalization refers to the way in which policies
facilitate transactions (trade and sales) of a
variety of products and services
• Deregulation refers to the easing of taxation,
entry and pricing of products or services dictated
by government policy
• Privatization refers to the ownership of former
public sector operations and firms by private
corporations and enterprises
7. Forces Surrounding Global System of
Production
• 3. Enabling Technologies- transport,
communications, production and organizational
improvements
• Explosion of enhanced transport and
communication services such as air cargo,
integrators offering definite time delivery (FedEx
and UPS), electronic mail and electronic data
interchange (EDI)
• Advanced inventory management such (just-in-
time (JIT)) and new systems of distribution such
as third party logistics (3PL)

9. Forces Surrounding Global System of
Production
• 4. Shifts in Market Conditions and Demand
• Economic cycles affect markets and production,
e.g. the Asian financial crisis
• Dramatic shifts in demand affect over time
influence type of good being produced and
production schedules
• Application of new technology can mean product
obsolescence
• These changes can be described in part through
product life cycle
10. Product Life Cycle
• Essence of PLC is that growth in sales of
product follows systematic path, from
initial introduction to market through
development, growth, maturity, decline
and obsolescence
11. Product Life Cycle
