Sheet Metal Fabrication & Machining Parts Case StudyJohn William
Dragon Sourcing aimed to source sheet metal fabrication and machining parts from South of India, especially Tamil Nadu and other bordering states. The sourcing approach included demand analysis, supply market analysis, telephone pre-screening, NDA process, developing RFI/RFQ document, administering RFI/RFQ and then, analysing RFI/RFQ responses.
RFI process intended to find the right suppliers. After supply market analysis, supplier rejection analysis was done where many suppliers’ name struck off the list during the pre-screening, NDA and RFI/RFQ method. The E-sourcing GPS tool was used to score and rank the suppliers before making the final call.
Chennai, Puducherry, Coimbatore and Madurai have the highest suppliers of sheet metal parts. The company carried out the project in 2 months with 83 suppliers from the states of South Indian. The report prepared by our team has helped our client to recognise potential suppliers located across Tamil Nadu and neighbouring states.

Newsletter on PPE: Classification of PPE and CE Certification Process in EUJohn William
In the wake of the high demand for PPE and medical devices in the EU, Chinese suppliers have restarted exporting to Europe. However, the European Safety Federation has identified some suspicious CE certificates for both PPE and medical devices. The suppliers have either used fake documents or showed certificates by the wrong authorities. Since a CE mark is compulsory for all PPE and medical devices exported to Europe, this newsletter delves into product classification for PPE and medical devices and product classification by EU regulation. There are 2 regulations, namely, Regulation (EU) 2016/425, which is on PPE and Regulation (EU) 2017/745, which is on medical devices and accessories. It has been mandated that all medical products and PPE to be sold in the EU need to come under any of these regulations. All suppliers should have knowledge about the procedure for Certified CE Mark, the risk categories, classification of medical devices and types of notified bodies as well as their names in the regulations.

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

P.S.
Due to the continuous shortage of supply for Ascorbic Acid in Chinese market, according to supplier the market prices has
been increased up to xx at the highest point.
Since xxx Calcium are the derivative products of Ascorbic Acid, so the supply is difficult as well.
For the moment, it’s difficult to find suppliers to quote for these two items,
either supplier doesn’t want to quote, or doesn’t have any storage for supply, so they can’t quote.
