    This paper focuses on clinical data taken from diversified sources that can be utilized to predict medical conditions. Precision medicine being top priority in medication is main essence to describe treatment based on individual physiology, genetic makeup and other factors. Healthcare information is available from clinics, government hospitals and electronic medical records along with advanced digital resources such as glucometers, insulin injectors, blood pressure monitors, and smart watches. Social media is an excellent source where people share their medical treatment status on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and LinkedIn. Effective statistical models can be created social media to prescribe medicines. Vital architectural components include storage programs (Amazon S3, Google cloud store), data incorporation mechanisms (Kafka, Storm Topology, Sqoop), APIs (Fitbit Web, Apple HealthKit, OneTouch, Facebook, Twitter), processing engine (Spark, Hadoop) and training datasets (Spark ML, Mahout scalable machine learning, data mining techniques, appropriate algorithms). Advantages of precision medicine includes powerful decision making resources (big data), better selection of disease targets, treatment opportunities, reduced medical expenses and timely delivery of healthcare. To optimize the capability of precision medicine, uninterrupted research funding, scientific initiatives, patient involvement in medicinal initiatives. Successful execution of precision medicine with holistic individually tailored approach necessitates the coordinated efforts of all healthcare stakeholders for its recognition, up-gradation of diagnosis and management

    Overcoming challenges in data collection: Gender in fish feed value chains in Bangladesh

    No full text
    Mohammad Mamun-Ur-Rashid is a member of a research team that has tried to come up with a methodology to get information from women in Bangladesh. It’s not easy for women to speak up about unequal conditions or sexual harassment. It’s important to create an environment in which they are comfortable to talk. For example, it’s not easy to get the information from the big fish-millers, which are men. You need to engage with the right people to get the information. By creating more equal relations in the value chains, everyone will benefit. Interview with Mohammad Mamun-Ur-Rashid (WorldFish) for the book "A different kettle of fish?

    In 2019 RASHID International examined public spaces in Iraq and their role in the promotion and protection of cultural rights. The report reiterates a key definition of ‘public space’ and analyzes public spaces in connection with their political role, their accessibility to women, families and disabled persons, cultural facilities as public spaces, as well as social media and the wider internet, the ‘virtual public space’. Submitted to the UN Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, it formed part of a study to inform the UN General Assembly in autumn 2019. This report is a publication of the non-profit organization RASHID International e.V. We are a charitable organization registered in the Federal Republic of Germany and are in special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations since 2019.

    CHINA’S ECONOMIC GROWTH AND ITS IMPACT ON REGIONALISM

    No full text
    The world and international trade may learn much from China\u27s remarkable economic rise in recent decades. The 21st century is increasingly called the ‘Asian Century’ due to China\u27s substantial impact on regional trade organisations, including the EU, NAFTA, SAARC, and ASEAN. Through investments in infrastructure, economic integration, and technical cooperation, China\u27s trading model, defined by bilateral and multilateral agreements, has changed the nature of regionalism. Initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) have improved commerce and connectivity, which has promoted collaboration and economic progress. China\u27s involvement in the region has aided development and sparked worries about intellectual property, trade imbalances, and geopolitical problems. This research looks at the economic advantages and geopolitical difficulties of China\u27s trade policies and how regionalism will develop in the face of China\u27s expanding power.   Bibliography Entry Rashied, Haroon Ur and Aziz Ur Rahman. 2024.

    Impact of urea-molasses treated wheat straw levels in total mixed rations on growth and nutrient digestibility in Azikheli buffalo calves

    This study investigates the impact of urea molasses-treated wheat straw on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in Azikheli buffalo male calves. A longitudinal experiment was conducted on sixteen calves, randomly assigned to four experimental dietary treatments (n = 4 per group). The experimental diets included a control group (U0) with untreated wheat straw and three groups where urea molasses-treated wheat straw replaced 33% (U33), 66% (U66), or 100% (U100) of the straw in the total mixed ration. Results indicated that increasing the proportion of urea-treated wheat straw from 0 to 100% led to significant improvements in dry matter intake (from 2931 to 4034 g/day) and organic matter intake (from 2596 to 3623 g/day). Digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, and crude fiber also followed an increasing trend, reaching 77.42%, 81.21%, 87.10%, and 60.22%, respectively, at the highest urea-treated wheat straw level. Furthermore, weight gain was significantly greater in calves fed 100% urea-treated wheat straw, followed by those in the U66, U33, and U0 groups. Feed conversion efficiency improved substantially in the U100 and U66 groups than U33 and U0. These findings suggest that incorporating higher levels of UMTWS in total mixed rations enhances nutrient digestibility, promoting superior growth performance and feed efficiency in Azikheli buffalo calves
