    <p><span>Law relating to providing a license for the production of Lifesaving Drugs and their Advertisement is governed by various laws and rules. These enactments and rules are required so that only authenticated drugs shall be administered to patients. The Advertisement of frivolous and false claims of cure or treatment through any drug or magical treatment is also made punishable under the law. This work focuses on these two aspects of Drug development and advertisement of drugs in India</span><span>.<span>  </span></span></p&gt

    A study on breach of law in charging treatment fees from COVID-19 patients in the Indore City hospitals

    <p><span>For individuals all over the world, the Corona or Covid-19 virus has posed many difficulties. The emergence of the virus in December 2019 was centered in the Wet Marketplaces in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization proclaimed this virus a global epidemic on March 11, 2020. As the epidemic and its manifestations remained undiagnosed and uncertain, the virus spread not just in neighboring countries but internationally, creating various constraints and difficulties in people's everyday lives. With more than 8,06 million reported cases worldwide and more than 3,65 lakh patients in India, the uproar of this virus will not end soon or until no vaccine is found for diagnosis at any time. For the individuals brought to hospitals for the COVID-19 scans and treatment, this has also raised a number of difficulties. The overcharging from the patients who are fighting against the Corona by private hospitals for research, treatment and PPE protection kits to stop its transmission was the most significant challenge that required immediate attention. Aging population and ill patients around the globe have been causing havoc with the current pandemic. In designated hospitals in Indore Region, the rush for COVID-19 patients was very strong and sometimes impossible to manage. The cyclical spike in cases of infection offers little to no space for hospital administrators to establish successful treatment-pricing SOPs. The epidemic did not effectively enforce the directives issued by the administration. The purpose of this paper is to find and define patient’s legal rights against over-billing</span></p> <p><span><span>  </span></span></p&gt

    Development of Architecture for Digital Supply Chain (DSC) using Blockchain, IoT and AI Technologies

    No full text
    Abstract: To synchronize data and transactions in a supply chain network, blockchain technology was developed. This study illustrates how blockchain technology can increase the adaptability and agility of supply chain operations. With the use of blockchain and other recently developed technologies, supply chain uncertainty and other problems affecting the industry can be resolved. Issues in the supply chain are categorized, and a solution is offered by fusing blockchain technology with the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and other technologies. Integration shows how tasks are completed utilizing blockchain and several supply chain technologies. Digital supply chains(DSC) are setting standards in a wide range of sectors because they are effective and lean. The creation of sustainable and environmentally friendly supply chains benefits from the use of intelligent technology. The study paper covers the challenges of implementing a digital supply chain. This will serve as a foundation for studying supply chain technology.Published By: Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering and Sciences Publication (BEIESP) © Copyright: All rights reserved

    Waste-to-Energy as a Method of Refuse Disposal: An Analysis of Sustainable Technologies and Their Environmental Impact

    No full text
    Nowadays, waste-to-energy (WtE) is considered the most effective disposal system for nonrecyclable materials. There is general concern with regard to potential environmental and health risks connected with WtE plants. Data from epidemiological studies, conducted since the 1980s, had shown that old-generation plants have a negative environmental impact. Owing to innovations in both technology and methodology involved in waste processing, new-generation WtE plants have considerably mitigated such negative impact. The aim of the study is to assess how legislation, technological innovation, and mitigation strategies can help and reduce the repercussions that waste-to-energy might have on both the environment and people’s health. The first step in this study consisted in investigating the current European and Italian legislation, as well as the operating mechanisms and technologies available to mitigate environmental impacts. Successively, the second step consisted in verifying their actual effectiveness when applied to the most recent plants. In particular, ten modern incinerations, new or restored in the last decade, were examined in detail. The case studies’ analysis and their comparison showed that, when adequately submitted to a health impact assessment (HIA) and in presence of valid monitoring plans, the most advanced facilities are able to keep emissions way below the limits prescribed by the law, mitigating environmental and health impacts. In addition, the study highlighted some areas of possible future interventions and actions. Finally, the outcome of the research is to propose a set of guidelines, legal tools, and appropriate technologies, as exportable and scalable healthy strategies in several contexts

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
