Rivaroxaban is a Factor Xa inhibitor. This presentation covers in brief regarding need for NOACs, kinetics, effects, indications, dosage, toxity, and antidote of rivaroxaban. It also covers in brief all the published trials
Jon Samuel, Head of Social Performance at Anglo American, discussed how we can use local procurement to grow the economies where we operate

What actually is love from a scientific point of view? In the field of neurochemistry and neuropsychiatry love is explained by 8 different chemicals your body produces.
Invited talk at the European Research Council-Brussels (Scientific Seminar, 12 April 2013): "Love for Science or 'academic prostitution'". In this talk I present a personal revision (sometimes my own vision) of some issues that I consider key for doing Science. It was focused on the expected audience, mainly Scientific Officers with background in different fields of science and scholarship, but also Agency staff.
Abstract: In a recent Special issue of Nature concerning Science Metrics it was claimed that " Research reverts to a kind of 'academic prostitution' in which work is done to please editors and referees rather than to further knowledge."If this is true, funding agencies should try to avoid falling into the trap of their own system. By perpetuating this 'prostitution' they risk not funding the best research but funding the best sold research.
Given the current epoch of economical crisis, where in a quest for funds researchers are forced into competitive game of pandering to panelists, its seems a good time for deep reflection about the entire scientific system.
With this talk I aim to provoke extra critical thinking among the committees who select evaluators, and among the evaluators, who in turn require critical thinking to the candidates when selecting excellent science.
I will present some initiatives (e.g. new tracers of impact for the Web era- 'altmetrics'), and on-going projects (e.g. how to move from publishing advertising to publishing knowledge), that might enable us to favor Science over marketing.
This is the updated version of the lecture I give to my biology students each year on Valentine's Day. Please leave me a comment if you enjoyed it. If you download it for your own use, please leave me a comment telling me how you will be using it.
