Digital revolution: Mindful innovation in the Indian healthcare industry

The article highlights the medical innovations in the Indian healthcare industry with reference to the new startups. There is a paradigm shift from use of traditional health services to Electronic Healthcare (e-Health) and Mobile healthcare (m-Health) services. The articlefocuses on the benefits and the lacunae attached to new innovations.

Agronomic performance and nutritive values of napier grass (pennisetum purpureum (l.) schumach) accessions in the central highland of Ethiopia

Ten Napier grass accessions were evaluated for agronomic performance and nutritive values at Holetta agricultural research center during the main cropping seasons of 2011-2014. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications. Diammonium phosphate (DAP) fertilizer at the rate of 100 kg/ha was uniformly applied at planting and additionally urea at the rate of 50 kg/ha was top dressed after each forage harvesting.

A framework for introduction of temporary approval of new health technology (Tanht)

Objectives: To suggest a framework and managing requirements for the temporary approval of new health technology (TANHT) that can meet the needs of patients who have suffered from rare diseases.
Methods: We investigated the Korean healthcare insurance and overseas policies for clinical trials and Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) through a literature review and interviews with experts. Subsequently, using these interviews and literature, we developed a frame work and a detailed procedure for the TANHT.

Health and environment through a legal and ecological perspective: examples from nan province, Thailand

A common work on the link between health and environment is conducted in Southeast Asia, hotspot of emerging infectious diseases with potential pandemic risk and hotspot of biodiversity at threat. This study aims to analyze the local impacts of global changes on zoonotic diseases linked with biodiversity and local perceptions of environmental and biodiversity changes. This multidisciplinary work produces various data and intends to develop integrative approaches to favour the dialogue between disciplines and co-build the analysis tools of an issue in a specific context.

Building standardized tools for subject cataloging work at the vietnam national university hochiminh city library system

Purpose – To share the experiences and challenges faced by the researchers in building standardized tools for subject cataloging work.
Design/methodology/approach – This research used analyzing literature, observation, statistics methods to figure out the cataloging principles and methods and settings as well as integrating subject headings. Besides, personal interviews method is also help to find out the advantages and disadvantages of building subject cataloging tools.

Seed yield and yield components of vetch species and their accessions under nitosol and vertisol conditions in the central highlands of Ethiopia

Vetch species and their accessions were evaluated for seed yield and yield components at Holetta (nitosol) and Ginchi (vertisol) conditions in the central highlands of Ethiopia. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications. The seed yield and its related performance were highly influenced by environment and hence comparatively higher seed yield and its related performance were recorded at Ginchi than Holetta.

Text encryption and decryption with extended euclidean algorithm and combining the features of linear congruence generator

Security plays a vital role in our communication system through internet.  For this reasons, we protect data from unauthorized users using appropriate encryptions algorithm. Using encryption we convert plain text to cipher text using our proposed secret key and similarly using inverse key we can decrypt the original text. In this algorithm, we read a string, then extract each of the single characters from the string and convert these characters to ASCII equivalent value. Apply proposed secret key, along with ASCII value and appropriate encryption algorithm we encrypt the text.

Human capital externality and sensitivity of TFP growth

This paper explains how externality of human capital enhances TFP growth. It measures the sensitivity of TFP growth to human capital quality in different levels of return to scales by using the appropriate method of growth accounting. Applying this method to some transition economies; Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, we proved an existence of an inverse relationship between returns to scale and TFP growth, and positive relationship between human capital and TFP growth in all countries.
