This document provides guidelines for healthcare waste management in Ethiopia. It discusses the need for comprehensive HCWM programs to address diverse needs within healthcare facilities, identify hazards and appropriate interventions, conduct medical evaluations of workers, and provide personal protective equipment. The guidelines are intended to help reduce infections within healthcare facilities and protect the external environment from healthcare waste. They cover definitions, risks of healthcare waste, and specific guidelines for waste segregation, storage, treatment and disposal. The overall aim is to ensure safe working conditions and health for all workers.
1) Anesthesia has come a long way from the days when surgery was performed without pain relief. Various crude methods were used to relieve pain before the discovery of modern anesthesia in the 1840s.
2) Key milestones in anesthesia history include the first use of ether in 1846, the introduction of injectable cocaine and local anesthesia in 1884, and the development of muscle relaxants and modern inhalational agents.
3) Anesthesia continues to advance with new drugs, monitoring techniques, and the increasing role of technology including automated drug delivery systems and one day possibly robotic anesthesia administration. The future may see further developments in areas like artificial intelligence, personalized medicine, and remote anesthesia delivery via telemedicine.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common issue, affecting approximately 35% of patients. It can decrease patient satisfaction and potentially increase recovery time. Several risk factors are identified, including female sex, history of motion sickness, nonsmoking status, and opioid use. Guidelines recommend stratifying patients into low, moderate, and high risk to guide appropriate prophylaxis and treatment. Common prophylactic medications include 5-HT3 antagonists, dexamethasone, droperidol, and anticholinergics. For high risk patients, combination therapy is more effective than single agents. Treatment focuses on 5-HT3 antagonists like ondansetron if prophylaxis fails. Multimodal prevent

It describes the cylinders, regulators, flow meters, vaporizers and safety features. The key functions of the anesthesia machine are to provide oxygen, enable accurate gas mixture delivery and patient ventilation, and minimize risks to patients and staff. Safety features discussed include pin indexing systems, alarms and proportioning devices to prevent hypoxic gas delivery.
The Thailand HiT reports that sustained political commitment to the health of the population since the 1970s has resulted in significant investment in health infrastructure, in particular primary health care, district and provincial referral hospitals, and strengthened the overall functioning of the Thai health system. After Thailand achieved universal health coverage in 2002, public expenditure on health significantly increased from 63% to 77% and out-of-pocket expense was reduced from 27.2% to 12.4% of the total health spending in 2011.
Management of Mild to Moderate COVID cases -VSGH ProtocolNaveen Kumar
The document discusses clinical staging and management of COVID-19 patients. It proposes a 4 stage clinical staging system: Stage I (asymptomatic to mild symptoms), Stage IIA (moderate pulmonary involvement without hypoxia), Stage IIB (moderate pulmonary involvement with hypoxia), Stage III (severe systemic hyperinflammation). Treatment protocols are outlined for each stage, including recommended investigations, medications, and criteria for transfer to higher levels of care. Comorbid conditions are also factored into the clinical staging and management guidelines.
Surviving Value-Based Purchasing in HealthcareHealth Catalyst
How does your health system's quality of care measure up? With the shift toward a value-based purchasing model that rewards value, outcomes, and patient satisfaction instead of merely volume, providers need to be prepared as the country moves to implement value-driven healthcare. In a world of accountable care, quality measures, shared savings, and bundled payments, today's focus must shift to affordability in conjunction with obtaining higher value.

Spain has a universal healthcare system that ensures all citizens have coverage, unlike the United States where many lack insurance. Spain developed its national healthcare system after Franco's death in 1975, which guarantees equal access to services. While Spain spends less on healthcare as a percentage of GDP compared to the US, it provides universal coverage through regional public insurance programs and optional private insurance. Citizens show their European Health Insurance Card for covered care at public facilities, while private insurance provides additional benefits like choice of doctors and shorter wait times.
Education in spain vs education in finlandMajorick
The document compares the education systems of Spain and Finland. It finds that Finland's system is recognized as a model, with low school failure rates and equality of education. In contrast, Spain has high dropout rates, overcrowded classrooms due to reforms not involving teachers, large cuts to education funding burdening families, and a lack of social prestige and rigorous requirements for teachers. Finland prioritizes education, involves parents, and funds free education for all through university to support equal opportunities.
Spain has a total of 5,917,074 students enrolled across its education system. 72% attend public schools while 28% go to private institutions. The education system includes preschool from ages 0-6, primary school from 6-12, secondary school from 12-16, and various post-secondary options like high school or vocational training from 16-18. Education is compulsory through secondary school and free at public schools, though parents often pay fees for materials, transportation, or meals. The system is regulated at the national level but responsibilities have been devolved to Spain's 17 regional governments.
The document summarizes the Spanish educational system. It outlines that Spain has a decentralized model of education, with responsibilities divided between the central government, autonomous regions, and local administrations. It then describes the different levels of education in Spain, including infant education, primary education, compulsory secondary education, higher secondary education, and vocational training cycles. It concludes by providing specific details about IES Villa de Alguazas, a secondary school in Región de Murcia, including its staff, facilities, educational programs, and special projects.
The article discusses how an English teacher, Andie Brown, had her students make short films about satire as a final project. This sparked interest in a student who had previously put in little effort, showing how technology can engage students. The project results were overwhelmingly positive and worth the time spent.
A second article argues schools should slowly integrate technology, starting with individual classrooms, as teachers may be reluctant to change and schedules limit technology use.
The third article profiles a student with cerebral palsy who benefited from assistive technology, like switches connecting to toys, to interact with classmates and signal answers in class, allowing him greater inclusion. All show how technology can improve learning experiences.

The Donald has finally decided to stop talking about running for president and actually do it. A lot of people are wondering how seriously to take Trump's candidacy. When the "3 M's" of political campaigning (Money, Media, & Momentum) are taken into account, Donald Trump has everything he needs to be a very serious contender for the presidency.
The document discusses the different levels of education from day-care through graduate school. It begins with day-care which teaches basics like playing and counting. Elementary school builds on these basics with subjects like math, reading, and writing. Middle school introduces more advanced math concepts and longer writing assignments. High school courses become more difficult and specialized. College is similar to high school but with more independence. Graduate school can include law school, medical school, or other programs to further prepare for specific careers.
Education is essential for progress and change. It creates new wants and enables people to satisfy them. Education makes people better citizens by teaching them about their history, culture, and values. It ensures a productive future by providing skills and training for competitive jobs. Education also opens new perspectives, broadens awareness, helps with decision making, and strengthens confidence.
This document discusses challenges in India's present education system and ways to improve it. It notes that the current system emphasizes theoretical knowledge over practical skills. It also identifies issues like a lack of motivation to learn among youth, low teaching quality due to inexperienced teachers, problems with the reservation system, and insufficient infrastructure in schools. The document argues that addressing these challenges, such as improving teaching standards and infrastructure, could help students become more successful and help India continue developing as a country.

How do we see the healthcare's digital future and its impact on our lives?Jane Vita
"Healthcare is undergoing major changes spurred on by, but not limited to, technology.
Digitalisation is changing the way we think about health, what taking care of it really entails, our personal role in healthcare systems and the way we interact with technology in the context of health.
In many ways, we are entering a post-institutional age of increased personal responsibility, which presents healthcare service providers and other players in the field with major opportunities and great risks. Technology has the potential to empower people and help them become more active in the management of their and their families’ health. This will change the relationship of the patient and the caregiver in profound ways." Mirkka Länsisalo

Healthcare, from Products to Solutions Exploring some of the latest initiativ...Alix Aubert
with high-level healthcare executives. Today, through Life Science Talks, we have decided to make some of this information available
to the professional community at large, provided it is non-confidential, of public interest, and likely to spark interesting partnerships in
the future.
This white paper therefore condenses data drawn from a number of informative meetings with decision makers in the European
healthcare sector during 2013 and 2014. More specifically, it is the result of an edition of Life science Talks dedicated to this subject
and held in Paris, in May 2014.
The discussions at this event were admirably moderated by Silvia Ondategui Parra, partner at EY, and were punctuated by keynotes
from leading stakeholders in European healthcare: Emmanuel Gomez, CNAM-TS, Head of Disease Management Programmes; Dr Rick
Greville, ABPI, Director of Wales and International Affairs; Thierry Zylberberg, Orange, Head of Orange Healthcare; Miguel Bernabeu,
Alcon (Novartis), Global Head of Market Access, Pricing and HEOR; Yvoine McCourt, Air Liquide, Head of Home Healthcare
International Development; Olivier Croly, GE Healthcare IT, GM Europe. Again, we thank them for sharing their views, their concerns,
and for outlining their projects in Europe within our forum.
Italian Regions are the accountable entities for healthcare policies: their activity is not limited to
policymaking but includes also management and financing of the Healthcare Public Utilities and services. A
first step will be the creation of a dataset of revenues and expenditures of the Healthcare sector. Second, the cofinancing policy will be analyzed using comparative grids of in/out-flows of each Region. Third, it will be taken
into account the regional fiscal coverage of the balance deficit. The sample is composed by the Italian Regions.
Last the analysis between our theoretical approach based on law and the real economic balance. Furthermore it
will be analyzed the National and Regional Healthcare System financing (in)-stability, highlighting current cash
flows, sources and investments using the “separation” of the Healthcare accounting items in the Balance Sheet.
Through chi-square test analysis and method of OLS the group of study look a possible relation be-tween
balance and respect of lea without finding a relationship. Latter, it will be represented an analysis of the National
Health Fund allocation to the Regions. It will be also conducted a critical analysis of the current allocation
formula and it will be proposed a simplified criterion of allocation.

As the biggest industry sector in most European economies, healthcare is already given a big chunk of the gross domestic product (GDP). This portion is expected to become even bigger and have a huge impact on employment, the opportunities to grow businesses and economies in general.
The document discusses the healthcare industry and provides context for analyzing delays in patient discharge processes at a hospital from May to July 2015. It describes the objectives of studying delays, the sample size, tools used, and limitations. It then provides an overview of the global healthcare industry, key segments including hospitals, providers and professionals, models for healthcare delivery, and the market size of the industry in different regions. Porter's five forces model is applied to analyze competition in the healthcare industry.
Italy is an intriguing case study of how value-based healthcare, which looks at health outcomes of treatment relative to cost, can evolve. The country offers an interesting dichotomy between a pioneering approach to financing innovative treatments on the one hand, and a more complex and arguably less sophisticated institutional structure and measures for assessing healthcare outcomes on the other.
The Italian Healthcare System. Time for a check-uptelosaes
The Pact for Health, signed between the State and Regions, is the key document for health planning and management in Italy. The current two-year Pact for Health 2014-2016 establishes several priorities, including: updated basic health benefits (BHB); revision of the NHS Range of Fees; reorganisation and rationalisation of the hospital network; rationalisation of purchases; creation of a Health Technology Assessment model for drugs and medical devices
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.

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.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
