Ireland has an above-average ranking in the Economist
Intelligence Unit’s Mental Health Integration Index. Its biggest strength in this area is its very advanced policy, but it has a record of poor implementation.
Wider health service upheaval and funding cutbacks as a result of the government’s austerity programme have slowed implementation of the most recent policy.
The document discusses mental health integration and provision for supporting people with mental illness in the UK. It finds that the UK ranks second overall in the Mental Health Integration Index, scoring highly in categories like environment and governance. While each constituent part has its own policies and successes, England is the focus since it contains most of the UK population. The document outlines England's long evolution of policies from deinstitutionalization to recent efforts to achieve "parity of esteem" between mental and physical health. However, it finds that fully implementing reforms and integrating services remains a work in progress, as serious treatment gaps persist.
Greece comes 28th out of 30 in The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Mental Health Integration Index, and fails to place higher than 24th in any given category.This reflects a slow, uneven process of reform often driven by the EU rather than by domestic demand.
Greece has closed most of its psychiatric hospitals, and is set to shut the remainder next year, but has been largely unsuccessful in creating effective replacement services in general hospitals or the community.
Poland’s ranking in 15th place in The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Mental Health Integration Index reflects the country’s strengths in its official policies. A closer look, however, shows that its result is much less indicative of reality on the ground.
The Solomon Islands HiT determines that the country’s health system has significant weaknesses but also considerable strengths. Despite the range and difficulty of issues facing policy-makers in the Solomon Islands, there have been significant achievements in health, including considerable progress in advancing population health status. The performance of the health system is positive, achieving high coverage, high satisfaction levels, and steady progress on health outcomes. Nonetheless, the country faces important health challenges that could undermine development gains made to date

The People’s Republic of China has made great achievements in improving health status over the past six decades, mainly due to the government’s commitment to health, provision of cost effective public health programmes, growing coverage of health financial protection mechanisms and investments in an extensive health-care delivery network.
The document discusses how population health is influenced by many factors beyond just the financing and structure of health systems, including social determinants like gender, economic security, and access to services. It analyzes Wilkinson and Pickett's research showing countries with higher income inequality have worse health outcomes. While Australia's system provides some universal access, it could be improved by increasing primary care services, reducing geographical inequalities, and lowering financial barriers through reducing out-of-pocket costs. Significant reforms would be needed to transform the system to better promote population health.
This document discusses sight loss as a public health priority in the UK. Key points:
- Over 1.8 million people have significant sight loss in the UK, which is projected to double to 4 million by 2050 due to an aging population. Major causes include age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and uncorrected refractive error.
- The Public Health Outcomes Framework includes a preventable sight loss indicator to benchmark rates of sight loss across local authorities and ensure avoidable sight loss is addressed. Improving eye health can reduce costs, improve outcomes for those with sight loss, and benefit other health priorities by reducing falls and social isolation.
- Resources are available to help public
This second edition of the health system review of Philippines shows the major changes that have occurred over the 7 years since the last review. Channelling of funds from sin tax to Health has shown unprecedented levels of finances are now available for UHC. PhilHealth has dramatically increased coverage of people as well as service providers that it works with from both government and non-government sectors. However major challenges remain; regional and socioeconomic disparities in the availability and accessibility of resources are prominent and there is a need to improve regulation of service providers. Philippines HiT reports on the current health system reforms undertaken including challenges of incorporating primary health care as in the overall health architecture of the country.

Challenges
The health system of Bangladesh has undergone a number of reforms and has established an extensive health service infrastructure in both the public and private sectors during the past four decades. Bangladesh has achieved impressive gains in population health, achieving the Millennium Development Goal 4 target of reducing under-five child mortality by two thirds between 1990 and 2015, and improving other key indicators such as maternal mortality, immunization coverage, and survival rates from malaria, tuberculosis, and diarrhoea diseases.
This document explores the need for greater integration between physical and mental health care. It argues that current efforts at integrated care have not sufficiently focused on this important aspect of integration. The document highlights four key challenges that demonstrate the need for a more integrated approach: 1) rising levels of multi-morbidity, especially between physical and mental health conditions; 2) inequalities in life expectancy for those with mental illnesses; 3) the psychological aspects of physical health that are often overlooked; and 4) the prevalence and high costs of medically unexplained symptoms. It then outlines 10 priority areas where integrated care is most needed and provides examples of innovative integrated service models. The document concludes by arguing that overcoming barriers to integrating physical and mental health should
Health access for all Thailand’s.The Thai citizens gain universal access to essential health services at zero cost, and reap significant benefits as babies get healthier, workers increase productivity, and households reduce financial risk.
The document provides information about social health insurance in Nepal. It discusses Nepal's National Health Insurance Policy passed in 2014 that aims for universal health coverage. The Social Health Security Program was implemented in 2016 to provide health insurance coverage and access to services. Currently the program operates in 44 districts and has enrolled over 1.1 million people, providing annual benefits of up to 100,000 NPR per household. The program aims to expand nationwide by 2076 to further improve healthcare access and financial protection for citizens.
The document outlines several key challenges facing Sri Lanka's health system, including an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases due to an aging population and epidemiological transition. Emerging infectious diseases like dengue and COVID-19 also present challenges. Funding shortages constrain health sector development as most funds are spent on recurring costs rather than capital projects. There are issues with uneven distribution of healthcare workers, lack of continuous training programs, and overcrowding of secondary and tertiary hospitals due to direct access without proper referrals. Trade union interventions also pose problems for health sector reforms.
Indonesia has a mixed health system with both public and private provision of care. Key achievements include increased life expectancy and reductions in communicable disease rates. However, challenges remain such as the dual burden of disease, natural disasters, weak health information systems, and high out-of-pocket expenditures. Future prospects include expanding the use of telemedicine, incentivizing an even workforce distribution, and passing more legislation to clarify the health system framework.
This document summarizes mental health issues in London based on several sources. Some key points:
- 1 in 4 people experience mental health problems and costs are estimated at £105 billion annually. London spends over £1.4 billion on mental health services each year.
- Factors like homelessness, LGBT status, and ethnicity can impact risk of mental health issues. People with mental illnesses also face higher risks of physical health problems.
- Recent reforms aim to better integrate primary and secondary care and increase clinical involvement in commissioning. Payment by Results creates opportunities for improved data and transparency around provision. Overall the challenges remain significant but changes may enable new solutions.
Estonia faced an acute debt crisis in 2008 that required public budget cuts of over 20%. The document describes Estonia's health system and the fiscal and cost containment strategies the government employed during the crisis. Key strategies included cutting the health budget by 24% through administrative cost reductions and focusing on non-communicable diseases. VAT and excise tax increases generated revenue while improving health behaviors. World Bank loans and EU funds supported infrastructure projects. The government prioritized health while restructuring spending to reduce budgets with minimal effects on core health services.
The current health care funding system needs to be future-proofed effectively, to relieve the future cost on younger generations, and ensure later life health care quality is not downgraded. The document discusses how health care expenditure is increasing due to an aging population, rising costs of new medical technologies, and higher public expectations. It notes that health care costs rise dramatically with age, and that the number of older Australians will more than triple by 2049-50. This increasing cost will place significant burden on younger generations if the current pay-as-you-go funding model based on taxation continues unchanged. The document calls for a comprehensive policy framework and debate on sustainable options to fund health care into the future.

Australia has a mixed public-private healthcare system. The public system is funded through Medicare, which provides universal healthcare access and subsidizes medical costs. Medicare is funded through a 2% tax levy. The government also jointly funds public hospitals with state governments. Private health insurance can be used to cover additional costs. Overall, Australia's healthcare system is considered high-quality and affordable.

The global economic recovery is slowing in 2011, with weak private sector job growth and downward pressure on housing prices posing concerns. While inflation remains low, fiscal stimulus programs will support growth. Europe is recovering but the fiscal crisis raises risks, and Greece may need to restructure its debt. Export growth in Japan will decline due to slowing Chinese growth and currency strength. Chinese growth has been driven by stimulus but imbalances remain a problem.

This document summarizes a report on sustainable business practices at different levels of organizations. It discusses how attitudes have shifted to view businesses as having broader social responsibilities. While profits remain important, stakeholders now expect companies to operate responsibly. The document examines challenges in integrating sustainability, such as short-term thinking from public investors. It provides examples of companies finding business value in tackling social and environmental issues core to their operations through employee engagement, goal-setting and transparency.
This article compares the opportunities and constraints of the Chinese and Indian capital markets. While the Indian market is more open to foreign portfolio investments, there are governance and reliability risks as well as substantial volatility. In the Chinese case, much of the market is closed to foreign portfolio investors. While exposure to these markets offers important opportunities for diversification, both also have drawbacks which must be clearly understood for their risks to be effectively managed.
The corporate CFO was once confined to financial gatekeeping and oversight. But for some time now CFOs have been taking on wider and more strategic corporate responsibilities. Today’s CFO needs to partner with the CEO on strategic leadership of a company through budgeting and planning, while taking on greater responsibilities in daily operations and even functions such as enterprise content management. Indeed, CFOs are making more decisions in real-time in areas new to them, and they are relying on volumes of new information.
This report, commissioned by Qlik, finds that having to use so much new information to shape corporate strategy is a double-edged sword. The growth of non-traditional information sources, such as social media and location-based data, offers more potential opportunities for CFOs to generate important insights about their businesses.

This document discusses the personal finances of expatriates living in the United Arab Emirates. It notes that a tax-free income is the primary benefit, but costs of living such as high rents and school fees present challenges. Additionally, some expatriates struggle with debt due to easy credit availability and a consumerist environment. However, Indian expatriates are praised as generally frugal savers who invest heavily and send money home to support families.

Since the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008, businesses around the world have faced a barrage of new risk-related challenges.
The macroeconomic environment of recent years, marked by the global financial crisis, fiscal uncertainty in the US and sovereign debt problems in Europe, has also helped to make companies more riskaverse, leading them to swap bold investment decisions for more cautious behaviour and cash hoarding. The tide is turning, however, with most expecting 2014 to mark a return to growth...
With conditions in the developed markets of Europe and North America likely to remain weak in the near term, business is increasingly looking to Asia for growth. Growth will not be uniform across sectors or even within them. Which subsectors will see the most dynamic growth? And what will drive it? Exports? Domestic sales? Technology? Innovation? Rising consumer incomes? What should companies be thinking about as they plan their Asia strategies for the next five to ten years?
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), sponsored by InvestKL, developed the “industry dynamism” barometer to measure the resilience and growth potential of six industry sectors across Asia.
A new report published today by The Economist Intelligence Unit finds that progress in providing faster broadband access varies significantly across South-East Asia, despite the economic opportunities being well acknowledged.
There are great differences in the level of broadband planning and implementation, where even leaders, such as Singapore and Malaysia, face challenges in achieving greater coverage and uptake. In Singapore, 95% of households have access to fiber to the home (FTTH) network speed and 46% of them have subscribed to it. In Myanmar, by contrast, there is not even a national broadband plan. Among those with a plan for development, implementation is uneven.
This is among the key findings of The future of broadband in South-East Asia, an Economist Intelligence Unit report commissioned by Huawei. Although the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ ICT Masterplan 2015 maps out a strategy to achieve greater integration across six areas, including infrastructure development and bridging the digital divide, implementation remains a domestic issue. In Malaysia, for instance, broadband targets are based on speeds of 256Kbps with the aim to provide 10Mbps or greater to high economic impact areas. The government has set a target to increase the broadband penetration rate to 75% of households by 2015.
Mobile-broadband has been touted as a quick way to provide broader access, but experts are now concluding that it is not a silver bullet. Conversion of spectrum allocation, the necessary technical development to provide faster mobile speeds, has been slow across much of the region. Even where successful policies are in place, such as in Singapore, limited bandwidth for data poses an emerging challenge. This highlights the continued importance of fixed broadband networks to supplement increasingly crowded mobile networks.
The report also finds that, in order not to fall behind, regulators are now taking a more holistic perspective and working with industry to resolve such issues and promote strong infrastructure environments.
As the information society grows in importance, digital inclusiveness becomes more urgent. Yet reaching rural and vulnerable populations remains difficult even for leading countries such as Singapore and Malaysia. Cyber security has also emerged as an issue which can affect uptake.
Despite the financial and practical challenges of broadband implementation, it remains the easier part of the supply and demand equation. More difficult are the challenges of improving affordability and raising awareness of the benefits of broadband adoption. Countries are only now beginning to tackle these issues.
It used to be the case that staff worked the way they were told to by their employers. It was therefore the objectives of the organisation – efficiency, in most cases – that defined the working style of the majority.
Now, though, the way we work is subject to all manner of influences. Organisations that wish to design engaging and productive working environments for their employees must understand those forces, and react accordingly.
- Mental health in Ireland is under strain due to the economic crisis, with rising unemployment, income inequality, suicide and self-harm rates.
- The document calls on the government to continue investing in community-based mental health services, as promised in the Programme for Government, and to ensure no further cuts to mental health funding.
- Key recommendations include continuing to invest €35 million annually in community mental health services, investing in governance structures to support the mental health reform plan, and ensuring social welfare rates and supports for those with mental health issues are maintained.

illness2.What has time for change done?
They have used several
strategies:
- Local hubs with professionals to
give advise and promote anti
stigma and discrimination, inter-
professional trust& respect.
- Social Marketing campaigns to
engage people who haven’t
experienced mental health illness
relevant to them and changing
attitudes and behaviours about
mental health.
- Working alongside schools and
organisations to improve
knowledge, educating young
people about mental health. Also
carrying out workshops with
teachers to help create time for
change workshops within the
schools.
- Provide resources for
professionals in the work
place4.
What is time for change?
A partnership lead by Mind and
Rethink Mental Health funded
by the Department of Health
and Social Care, Comic Relief
and National Lottery. It’s a
growing social movement
with the aim to change the
way that people think and act
about mental health problems
by working within communities,
work places and with young
people with the aim of trying to
change attitudes. The
partnership therefore showing
cultural continuity3 .
Outcomes
Critical Evaluation

service users and staff, reducing role
clarity.
Staff burnout and structural
discrimination affecting resources, no
shared commitment.

slowly making a difference in
educating about mental health.
However, as a partnership it’s not
working so well. It could be improve
the negatives found in the study
across staff and discrimination
towards welfare benefits.

Health Impact Assessment of E-Medicine and Norway's Healthcare Policy ReformWyiki Wyone
This document summarizes an equity-focused health impact assessment of Norway's 2012-2015 healthcare coordination reform. The reform aimed to decentralize services to local municipalities and improve coordination between primary, secondary, and tertiary care to enhance patient care pathways and disease prevention. An assessment was conducted to identify how the reform may positively or negatively impact population health and health equity. Key potential impacts identified included reduced waiting times and improved management of chronic diseases. Vulnerable groups like the elderly, disabled, and culturally diverse populations were most likely to benefit. The assessment provided recommendations to enhance benefits and mitigate risks to health equity.
This document provides an executive summary of a report from the independent Mental Health Taskforce to the NHS in England. It summarizes the current state of mental health in England, noting that 1 in 4 adults experience a diagnosable mental health problem each year. It also discusses policy context and initiatives over the past 50 years. Key points made include that half of all mental health problems emerge by age 14, and 1 in 10 children have a diagnosable mental health problem. It recommends providing equal status and funding for mental and physical health in the NHS to improve mental health care.
The document provides an overview of the New Zealand health care system. It begins by outlining the role of the government in providing health care and the responsibilities of district health boards. It then discusses coverage and financing, including public and private insurance. Services covered include preventative, primary, specialist, and long-term care. Quality is ensured through targets and performance monitoring of district health boards and primary care organizations. Efforts are being made to reduce health disparities experienced by indigenous Maori and Pacific Islander populations.

WHO's new European health strategy, Health 2020, aims to improve health for all Europeans and reduce health inequalities. It recommends a "whole of society" and "whole of government" approach. The strategy sets six headline targets to be achieved by 2020 related to life expectancy, mortality rates, wellbeing, universal health coverage, and national health goals. However, whether Health 2020 succeeds depends on governments demonstrating real political commitment to cross-sector collaboration on public health issues outside of just healthcare systems. The strategy's emphasis on supporting member states' implementation efforts is a refreshing shift from WHO's prior analytical focus.

Health systems around the world - Memoona ArshadHuzaifa Zahoor
More people have gained access to essential health services such as immunization, HIV antiretroviral care, family planning, and malaria-prevention bed nets in the last decade. This is promising news, but development has been uneven: there are significant differences in service availability not only between countries, but also within them. Half the world's population can't afford the care it needs to stay safe on any given day.
This document discusses mental health as a global priority and outlines reasons for investing in mental healthcare. It finds that up to 10% of people worldwide are affected by mental health problems, which represent the 5th leading cause of disease burden globally when measured in disability-adjusted life years. However, most low- and middle-income countries allocate less than 2% of their health budgets to mental health. Compelling reasons to invest in mental healthcare include promoting human rights, reducing human and economic costs, and implementing cost-effective treatment solutions that already exist.
The document summarizes key points from a speech given by the WHO Regional Director for Europe on health challenges in the European region and strategies to address them. The main points are:
1) There are significant health inequities within and between countries in the European region in terms of life expectancy and healthy life expectancy. Nordic countries have some of the highest rates.
2) Investing in public health, disease prevention, and addressing social determinants of health through intersectoral policies can help reduce inequities and improve population health outcomes.
3) The Health 2020 policy framework and examples from countries like Norway that have strengthened public health infrastructure and implemented intersectoral governance approaches provide guidance for addressing challenges and closing
Hungary does poorly across the board in The Economist
Intelligence Unit’s Mental Health Integration Index, coming
25th overall. The country lacks any formal mental health policy, which reflects a long-term lack of interest in the issue at the political level. The country has low, and declining, levels of mental health professionals and few care facilities between hospitalisation and local clinics.

Chronic Illness frameworks and Primary Care PhysiotherapyPadraigC
This document discusses several frameworks related to chronic illness management in primary care physiotherapy in Ireland. It summarizes frameworks from the HSE, WHO, and others that address chronic disease prevention and management through primary healthcare reform, with a focus on strengthening primary care services, developing guidelines and quality assurance, and empowering patients. The frameworks emphasize the role of physiotherapists in chronic illness care, exercise referral, health promotion, and developing partnerships across sectors to address public health challenges like obesity.

Decades of economic growth and development along with better governance and nutrition-specific programmes had lifted hundreds of millions of people in Asia out of poverty, as well as starvation and malnutrition. However, due to the uneven development, while a large segment of Asian's population had changed their eating habits to over-nutrition diets and worrying about lifestyle diseases like diabetes, cancer and heart diseases, there are still some countries and regions suffering from lack of nutrition. For example, childhood malnutrition and stunting is still prevalent in South Asia, one Indian survey found that 21% of children suffer wasting, and a further 7.5% of children suffer it severely.

The report examines the opportunities and challenges for digital platforms and services in ASEAN countries. It finds that while countries like Singapore have created an accommodating regulatory environment, other ASEAN nations can provide major opportunities due to their large populations but also present regulatory barriers. Digital platforms can help stimulate economic growth, but data localization policies and unclear privacy rules hinder their potential. Public-private cooperation is seen as key to overcoming issues and maximizing the benefits of digital transformation.
The world’s top 100 asset owners (AOs) represent about US$19trn in assets under management. The largest, and potentially most influential, proportion is in Asia—more than a third of the total. Out of the top 20 largest funds, three out of the first five and nearly half of the total are in Asia.

Internet connectivity has proven to be one of the most profound enablers of social change and economic growth of our time. Beginning with fixed narrowband internet connections and moving through successive generations of increasingly pervasive and powerful networks, connectivity has come to underpin our working and personal lives, empowering businesses to operate more efficiently and with wider reach. In turn, connectivity has sparked and fuelled countless new industries, products and services that are coming to define our modern age. Connectivity has proven to be a vital ingredient for business success.
This report examines the burden of lung cancer in Latin America and how well countries in the region are addressing the challenge. Its particular focus is on 12 countries in Central and South America, chosen for various factors including size and level of economic development: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.
In the cyber world, many are attacked but not all are victims. Some organisations emerge stronger. The most cyber-resilient organisations can respond to an incident, fix the vulnerabilities and apply the lessons to strategies for the future. A key element of their resilience is governance, a task that falls to the board of directors.
To learn more about the challenges of governing a cyber-resilient organisation, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) conducted a global survey, sponsored by Willis Towers Watson, of 452 large-company board members, C-suite executives and directors with responsibility for cyber-resilience.
Among the findings:
-In the past year, a third of the companies surveyed experienced a serious cyber-incident — one that disrupted operations, impaired financials and damaged reputations — and most placed high odds on another one in the next 12 months.
-Many companies lack confidence in their ability to source talent and develop a cyber-savvy workforce.
-Executives cite the size of the financial and reputational risk as the most important reason for board oversight.
Artificial intelligence (AI) will profoundly affect the ways in which businesses and governments engage with consumers and citizens alike. From advances in genetic diagnostics to industrial automation, these widespread changes will have significant economic, social and civic implications. As such, Intelligent Economies explores the transformative potential of AI on markets and societies across the developed and developing worlds.
This report, developed by The Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by Microsoft, draws on a survey of more than 400 senior executives working in various industries, including financial services, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing,
retail and the public sector. Survey respondents operate in eight markets: France, Germany, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, Thailand, the UK and the US.
As businesses generate and manage vast amounts of data, companies have more opportunities to gather data, incorporate insights into business strategy and continuously expand access to data across the organisation. Doing so effectively—leveraging data for strategic objectives—is often easier said
than done, however. This report, Transforming data into action: the business outlook for data governance, explores the business contributions of data governance at organisations globally and across industries, the challenges faced in creating useful data governance policies and the opportunities to improve such programmes.
It wasn’t long ago that a work meeting meant gathering around a table to discuss an agenda. These days you may be using Slack, Hangouts or other digital collaboration platforms that blend messaging with video and allow real-time editing of
documents. Even with these tools, communication at work can still break down, potentially endangering careers, creating stressful work environments and slowing growth.
A survey from The Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by Lucidchart reveals some of the perceived causes and effects of these communication breakdowns. The survey, conducted from November 2017 to January 2018, included 403 senior executives, managers and junior staff at US companies divided equally and from companies with annual revenue of less than
US$10m, between US$10m and US$1bn and more than US$1bn. The survey research provides insights about what employees see as the biggest barriers to workplace communication, the causes of the barriers and their impact on work life. Complete survey results are included at the end of
this report.
Successful young entrepreneurial innovators have achieved something akin to rockstar status. They grace magazine covers and keynote global conferences, inspiring burgeoning
start-ups and Fortune 50 companies alike.
Collectively, young entrepreneurs are innovative by nature and their thinking is an important source of growth and job creation across the world. Today, with digital tools in hand, leaders are better positioned to expand their businesses across borders, seize niche opportunities and shape the global economic future.
Yet, most of today’s young entrepreneurs want more than status and a global corporate footprint. Their ideas of success arise from powerful social, political and economic convictions.
To find out what really makes young innovators tick, The Economist Intelligence Unit, sponsored by FedEx, surveyed more than 500 of these young entrepreneurs around the globe about their motivations, ideals and priorities. Our survey respondents were between 25 and 50 years of age and all founders, owners or partners of firms with fewer than 500 employees. They are living in North America, Europe, Middle
East, India and Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. We surveyed them on matters of globalization, technology and social values.
We then compared their views with a similar survey of the general public in the same regions. Side by side, these surveys enabled us to differentiate the outlooks of today’s young and innovative entrepreneurs.
Our surveys identified four key mindsets that guide young entrepreneurs: leading with passion; thinking globally; embracing social responsibility; and banking on connectivity. This report explores the similarities and divergences of today’s young entrepreneurs and the general public. It seeks insights into the elements of the business environment that matter most to entrepreneurs, as well as their views on a variety of issues including free trade and social responsibility.
Education systems across the world are grappling with the challenge of preparing their students for the rapid changes they will experience during their lifetimes. To this end, schools have a critical role in equipping students with the requisite skills and
competencies that will be in demand, particularly as digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly transform businesses and influence economies. In this report, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) discusses the results of a study that explores how to best prepare primary and
secondary school (referred to in this report as “K-12”) students for the 21st century workplace (“the modern workplace”), where
a mix of hard and soft skills are crucial for success. The research, sponsored by Google for Education, draws on a survey of 1,200 educators in 16 countries.1 It looks at the
strategies most effective in developing 21st century skills and how technology can support such efforts.
Gone are the days when marketing chiefs focused solely on the classic 4Ps: Product, Price, Promotions and Place - they now must take an integrated approach to drive company goals.
Corporate and shareholder sentiment towards MA has rebounded since the dark days of 2008. Low borrowing costs have coaxed many new buyers, including acquisitive Chinese conglomerates, into the market. The prices of prized assets have risen accordingly. It remains a sellers market in technology-driven deals, particularly in the consumer-goods, financial services, and media and telecommunications sectors.
Corporate treasury is now a top target for cyber-criminals. Treasury’s trove of personal and corporate data, its authority to make payments and move large amounts of cash quickly, and its often complicated structure make it an appealing choice for discerning fraudsters.
This document discusses cyber risks faced by corporate treasury departments. It finds that treasuries are prime targets for cyber criminals due to the large amounts of money they handle and authorize payments for. Sophisticated hackers use social engineering and inside information to execute scams like business email compromise, where they impersonate senior executives and trick treasury staff into making fraudulent payments. While companies are taking basic security measures, the research found gaps in defenses against third party risks. Nineteen percent do not verify identity authentication methods for suppliers and 14% do not extend security rules to subcontractors. Treasury departments can help by ensuring third parties are properly secured despite not being directly responsible for technical security.
In a low-yield environment, many Asia-Pacific investors are more actively monitoring their portfolios and willing to increase turnover and shift asset allocations in search of higher returns. However, they proceed cautiously with shorter time horizons due to fears of increased market volatility. Equities, new products, and diversifying across markets are seen as potential sources of returns and ways to mitigate risks. The survey also found that regulations are driving some investors to reallocate assets and take a more active approach to portfolio management, despite increased risk.
Asia-Pacific institutional investors are struggling to balance long-term liabilities with the need to secure yield in a world where it is increasingly scarce. They are also in the world’s fastest-growing region that has no shortage of volatility. How are they achieving returns while managing risks?
How are institutional investors in North America adapting to increasingly complex risks? Are these risks driving investors to make portfolio changes based on short-term goals or are they making tactical moves to stay focused on long-term objectives?
Political risks and the search for yield are pushing some North American institutional investors toward more tactical decisions. Investors are focused on reallocating to equities and using alternative investments to mitigate risks.
How are EMEA investors responding to changing macroeconomic and regulatory environments, stakeholder objectives and pressures, and market conditions? Based on a survey of 200 institutional investors in the region, this report takes a detailed look.
The Importance of Black Women Understanding the Chemicals in Their Personal C...bkling
Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

2024 Media Preferences of Older Adults: Consumer Survey and Marketing Implica...Media Logic
When it comes to creating marketing strategies that target older adults, it is crucial to have insight into their media habits and preferences. Understanding how older adults consume and use media is key to creating acquisition and retention strategies. We recently conducted our seventh annual survey to gain insight into the media preferences of older adults in 2024. Here are the survey responses and marketing implications that stood out to us.
