Demand for alternative assets remains strong as investors and plan sponsors seek asset diversification, higher yields, and uncorrelated returns. As a result, alternatives are a clear bright spot in the asset management industry. Despite significant headwinds, successful alternative asset managers are growing while many traditional asset managers have or are considering moving into the space. A similar trend is playing out among investment service providers -- traditional servicers are expanding their capabilities to include alternatives. As demand grows for alternative assets, a new FinTech ecosystem is developing to help investors, investment managers, and service providers to access new asset classes and manage their investments and operations with new data, software, and platforms.
This presentation covers my marketing experience in FinTech, including the challenges of FinTech, growth hacking, product marketing and messaging, acquisition and retention.

DISSERTATION on NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERYNEHA GUPTA
The process of drug discovery and development is a complex and multi-step endeavor aimed at bringing new pharmaceutical drugs to market. It begins with identifying and validating a biological target, such as a protein, gene, or RNA, that is associated with a disease. This step involves understanding the target's role in the disease and confirming that modulating it can have therapeutic effects. The next stage, hit identification, employs high-throughput screening (HTS) and other methods to find compounds that interact with the target. Computational techniques may also be used to identify potential hits from large compound libraries.
Following hit identification, the hits are optimized to improve their efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties, resulting in lead compounds. These leads undergo further refinement to enhance their potency, reduce toxicity, and improve drug-like characteristics, creating drug candidates suitable for preclinical testing. In the preclinical development phase, drug candidates are tested in vitro (in cell cultures) and in vivo (in animal models) to evaluate their safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Toxicology studies are conducted to assess potential risks.
Before clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application must be submitted to regulatory authorities. This application includes data from preclinical studies and plans for clinical trials. Clinical development involves human trials in three phases: Phase I tests the drug's safety and dosage in a small group of healthy volunteers, Phase II assesses the drug's efficacy and side effects in a larger group of patients with the target disease, and Phase III confirms the drug's efficacy and monitors adverse reactions in a large population, often compared to existing treatments.
After successful clinical trials, a New Drug Application (NDA) is submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, including all data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as proposed labeling and manufacturing information. Regulatory authorities then review the NDA to ensure the drug is safe, effective, and of high quality, potentially requiring additional studies. Finally, after a drug is approved and marketed, it undergoes post-marketing surveillance, which includes continuous monitoring for long-term safety and effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, and reporting of any adverse effects.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

2. You resolve to make a change for the better in your life.
You tell your friends about it. You put your resolution in writing.
You actually make the change. It works. It feels good. You’re
happy about it. Your friends are happy about it.
Your life is better.
And then, you backslide.
3. Why?
Are you some kind of slob who has no willpower?
Not necessarily. Backsliding is a universal experience.
From George Leonard’s Mastery
4. You can attribute it to the Motivation Wave.
Motivation
Time
What is a motivation wave?
A motivation wave represents the natural high and lows that people
experience with their motivation as time goes by.
See BJ Fogg on Motivation Wave
5. In the book Mastery, George Leonard describes four
archetypes to doing anything. The dabbler, the obsessive, the
hacker and the master.
The Dabbler starts with enthusiasm, makes rapid The Obsessive starts with robust progress. When

than the one before.
From George Leonard’s Mastery
6. Instead of seeing these as fixed types, we can see them as
different modes.
We dabble, we obsess, we hack and on occasion, we master
different things.
These curves then reflect the shapes of our motivation waves.
7. Can we anticipate motivation waves?
If we can, we can also buffet ourselves against the lows.
Following is what I think.
8. Initiation starts with a dissonance event
INITIATION
A dissonance event is something that gives you a new perspective on something you
want to do, but is at odds with your current approach to it.
It can be something as simple as tweet asking you to do a neck stretch, to something
as life changing as marriage or death.
The magnitude of motivation is directly proportional to the gravity of the event.
9. Continuation happens when expectations are met
CONTINUATION
If the results are up to our expectations our motivation is maintained. For example, if
tennis game improves as expected, the motivation level is maintained.
10. Amplification happens with breakthroughs and breakdowns
AMPLIFICATION
When we hit a breakthrough, the wave is amplified. Often a breakdown leads to
increased resolve and will also amplifies it.
11. Decline happens due to plateaus
DECLINE
Plateaus represent moments where you are not making expected progress and feel
stuck. This might cause a steady decrease in motivation.
12. Fall-offs happen due to extended plateaus. They may also
happen due to breakdowns and even successes
FALL-OFF
When people are stuck on a plateau for a while, their motivation may see a steep dip.
Breakdowns, while they can amplify can also attenuate. Interestingly, when people
have reached a level they are satisfied with, their motivation may also drop.
13. Don’t fight the wave. Ride the wave.
Knowing that such waves are natural, the only way to be on the path
to mastery, or sustained behavior change, is to ride these waves and
not fight them. Three good pieces of advice from the work of BJ
Fogg & George Leonard.
Take a step back. BJ Fogg says that ability, not motivation is the key to behavior
change. When your motivation is low, do something easier and simpler. For example,
run 10 minutes instead of 30.
Build a support system. We are social animals. As George Leonard says ‘you can
do it alone, but it helps a great deal to have other people with whom you share the joys
and perils of the change you are making’.
Make it a habit. This is not as easy as it sounds but it relates back to taking a step
back. As long as you keep doing something you will find an upswing in the motivation
wave.
