A Study of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Disposition of Waste

API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) means the active ingredient which is contained in medicine. For example, an active ingredient to relieve pain is included in a painkiller. Developing and producing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) includes various processing steps, such as reaction, crystallization, separation and purification, solvent swap, and solvent exchange. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients or APIs are also known as bulk drugs and a term that is often heard in business news. An active ingredient is the ingredient in a pharmaceutical drug or pesticide that is biologically active. The similar terms active pharmaceutical ingredient and bulk active are also used in medicine, and the term active substance may be used for natural products. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients are the active ingredients contained in a medicine. The issue of disposal of wastes from these API companies, as well as the development and implementation of efficient collection strategies, is an important concern. This research looks into the factors that have an impact on the disposition of wastes from these companies, and how are these addressed by local government bodies. The pharmaceutical industry discovers, develops, produces, and markets drugs or pharmaceutical drugs for use as medications to be administered to patients with the aim to cure them, vaccinate them, or alleviate symptoms. Pharmaceutical companies may deal in generic or brand medications and medical devices. They are subject to a variety of laws and regulations that govern the patenting, testing, safety, efficacy using drug testing and marketing of drugs.

News Analytics for Business Sentiment Suggestion

Business and economics news has become one of the factors businesses consider when making decisions. However, the exponential increase in the availability of business information sources on the internet makes it more difficult for entrepreneurs to keep up with and extract useful insights from many news articles. Although many preceding works focused on the sentiment extracted in the news, the results were intended for everyone. The sentiments based on a user's queries are needed to provide customized service. Hence, this paper proposed a system integrated into a chatbot to automatically understand users' queries and recommend sentiments based on news articles. The main objective is to provide entrepreneurs, especially those considering international trade and investment, with the sentiments embodied in the latest news articles to help them keep up with the business and economic trends relevant to them. The methodology is based on deep learning and transfer learning. A pre-trained deep learning model was fine-tuned for natural language processing tasks to perform sentiment analysis in news articles. A survey questionnaire was used to measure the effectiveness of the system. The survey result showed that most users agreed with the predicted sentiments from the system.

Understanding National Identity Construction in China-ASEAN Business Discourse

Few studies have investigated national identity construction in a diachronic and holistic manner. To address this gap, in applying constructivist views of international relations and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this paper analyzes business news titles of Chinese and ASEAN (Association of South-East Asian Nations) country mainstream media to reveal identities that both parties construct of one another and relationships between discourse and identity construction. Findings suggest that ASEAN identities constructed by Chinese media are positive and complimentary, demonstrating its adherence to foreign policies of neighborliness and friendship. However, ASEAN countries develop a range of contradictory identities toward China. This paper concludes that such discourse manifests and constructs national identities and shapes international relations. The paper also proposes that in facing passive identities constructed by ASEAN countries China must construct a clear discourse theory to make its voice heard, project China’s stance on the international stage, respond actively to skepticism, and construct images of peace, development, and friendship.

Factors responsible for failure of food tech start-ups in India

Information technology brought radical innovation to the catering industry. The internet has led to the growth of the online food delivery start-up. The use of smartphones and the internet transformed how food is ordered and consumed. The mobile applications enabled customers to order food from restaurants located at distant locations. However, a large number of the start-ups failed, although most of such start-ups received funding from investors. This paper identifies the factors that led to the failure of such companies. Such factors were identified through a review of literature, company reports and business news portals. The study used a questionnaire method to gather the data and used descriptive statistics to list the top failure factors. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the strategies of the failed and successful start-ups.

The impact of the war in Ukraine on the world economy: a review of foreign media

Introduction. This article is dedicated to the study of an important phenomenon that has been taking place in Ukraine for what is now approaching a decade. The 2013–14 Revolution of Dignity was quickly followed by Moscow’s annexation of Crimea and then by a war between Russia and Ukraine in the Donbas region. The war greatly impacted various aspects of life in Ukraine in the past eight years including its profound effect on Ukrainian economy. Relevance. The impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on Ukrainian economy has now, correspondingly, become a subject of scholarly study within different scientific paradigms, including analytical journalism The situation in Ukraine and its influence on the economic situation in Europe and in the world is increasingly analyzed at conferences and in various global academic forums, especially it is highlighted in different kinds of the world media. A thorough reading of the press articles on economics reveals that the above-mentioned topic, and other correlating crucial ones, are approached by the scholars fastidiously, and that they propose meaningful arguments for analyzing various aspects of military events coverage in the media. Methodology. To achieve the goals, a set of interrelated research methods was used, including a critical analysis of current scientific papers on the selected topic, and a synthesis of the main conclusions into a comprehensive system vision. The principal research method is the content analysis of media publications on economic topics. Empirical data were obtained using methods of observation and discourse analysis of examples published in the world’s online media. The comparative method allowed to select units of research and classify them. The systematic approach helped to identify trends in the specifics of information during the Russian-Ukrainian war. With the help of the generalization method, the corresponding conclusions and offers for scientists and practitioners are made. Results. The authors offer a brief but very thorough overview of some of the world’s bestknown analytical media publications (The Economist Business Insider, The New York Times, BBC News Business Reporter, VoxEU, Press Release, OECD Economic Outlook, etc.) with thorough conclusions from economic experts. Conclusions. When this article enters into a dialogue with future academic publications, it will offer a useful look at how the war stimulated the world not only to analyze events in Ukraine, but also to make concrete decisions and actions. Today’s analysis of the nuances of how the Russian-Ukrainian war impacts the world, and the study of various reactions of world organizations and prominent influential people to the adaptation of the world economy in particular in the war in Ukraine, in turn, will affect the scientific fundamental adjustment of relevant theoretical concepts. Thus, the research conducted by the authors can be very valuable for scholars, both in journalism and other spheres, studying the ways of the war impact, especially on economy.

Does palliative care education lead to a change in the attitudes and beliefs of pre-registration Physiotherapy students about palliative care: a literature review

Background Worldwide, over 61 million people suffer from symptoms caused by conditions which could be helped by Palliative Care. Physiotherapy is increasingly utilised as part of the multi-disciplinary team in providing Palliative Care, but this is not widely accepted by physiotherapists whose attitudes and beliefs towards it may be framed by the absence of the topic in their undergraduate education. Objectives To evaluate the literature relating to the effect of Palliative Care education interventions on the attitudes and beliefs of Physiotherapy undergraduate students. Methods A structured search on Academic Search Ultimate, MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete, APA PsycInfo, Education Source, Communication Source, SPORTDiscus with Full Text, Business Source Ultimate, SocINDEX with Full Text, and Regional Business News was conducted in October 2020. Articles were limited to peer-reviewed journals published in English and involving an educational intervention delivered to pre-qualification Physiotherapy students. Results Four papers were included which all measured change in attitudes and beliefs. Three papers showed a significant positive change in students’ attitudes and beliefs towards PC, and one showing a positive but non-significant change. There was no consensus on the ideal curriculum content, delivery method or time. Conclusion PC content within the curriculum is still in its formative stages within Physiotherapy education. While there is currently no consensus on the ideal method and format of how it should be delivered, there is some evidence to suggest that it can have a positive impact on Physiotherapy students’ attitudes and beliefs towards PC.

Fine-Grained Implicit Sentiment in Financial News: Uncovering Hidden Bulls and Bears

The field of sentiment analysis is currently dominated by the detection of attitudes in lexically explicit texts such as user reviews and social media posts. In objective text genres such as economic news, indirect expressions of sentiment are common. Here, a positive or negative attitude toward an entity must be inferred from connotational or real-world knowledge. To capture all expressions of subjectivity, a need exists for fine-grained resources and approaches for implicit sentiment analysis. We present the SENTiVENT corpus of English business news that contains token-level annotations for target spans, polar spans, and implicit polarity (positive, negative, or neutral investor sentiment, respectively). We both directly annotate polar expressions and induce them from existing schema-based event annotations to obtain event-implied implicit sentiment tuples. This results in a large dataset of 12,400 sentiment–target tuples in 288 fully annotated articles. We validate the created resource with an inter-annotator agreement study and a series of coarse- to fine-grained supervised deep-representation-learning experiments. Agreement scores show that our annotations are of substantial quality. The coarse-grained experiments involve classifying the positive, negative, and neutral polarity of known polar expressions and, in clause-based experiments, the detection of positive, negative, neutral, and no-polarity clauses. The gold coarse-grained experiments obtain decent performance (76% accuracy and 63% macro-F1) and clause-based detection shows decreased performance (65% accuracy and 57% macro-F1) with the confusion of neutral and no-polarity. The coarse-grained results demonstrate the feasibility of implicit polarity classification as operationalized in our dataset. In the fine-grained experiments, we apply the grid tagging scheme unified model for <polar span, target span, polarity> triplet extraction, which obtains state-of-the-art performance on explicit sentiment in user reviews. We observe a drop in performance on our implicit sentiment corpus compared to the explicit benchmark (22% vs. 76% F1). We find that the current models for explicit sentiment are not directly portable to our implicit task: the larger lexical variety within implicit opinion expressions causes lexical data scarcity. We identify common errors and discuss several recommendations for implicit fine-grained sentiment analysis. Data and source code are available.

SENTiVENT: enabling supervised information extraction of company-specific events in economic and financial news

We present SENTiVENT, a corpus of fine-grained company-specific events in English economic news articles. The domain of event processing is highly productive and various general domain, fine-grained event extraction corpora are freely available but economically-focused resources are lacking. This work fills a large need for a manually annotated dataset for economic and financial text mining applications. A representative corpus of business news is crawled and an annotation scheme developed with an iteratively refined economic event typology. The annotations are compatible with benchmark datasets (ACE/ERE) so state-of-the-art event extraction systems can be readily applied. This results in a gold-standard dataset annotated with event triggers, participant arguments, event co-reference, and event attributes such as type, subtype, negation, and modality. An adjudicated reference test set is created for use in annotator and system evaluation. Agreement scores are substantial and annotator performance adequate, indicating that the annotation scheme produces consistent event annotations of high quality. In an event detection pilot study, satisfactory results were obtained with a macro-averaged F_1-score of 59% validating the dataset for machine learning purposes. This dataset thus provides a rich resource on events as training data for supervised machine learning for economic and financial applications. The dataset and related source code is made available at https://osf.io/8jec2/.

How the Trick is Done – Conditions of Success in Entrepreneurial Digital Journalism

Entrepreneurial journalism is often ascribed the potential to partly close the supply gap in digital journalism caused by the effects of digitization. Decreasing fixed costs on the production stage, in particular, have enabled smaller entities, entrepreneurs and start-ups to produce high quality journalistic content. While there is a broad stream of literature on entrepreneurial success in general, empirical research says little about the reasons for digital journalistic entrepreneurs’ success (or lack thereof). This study aims at empirically investigating success conditions associated with entrepreneurship in the digital news business. Seven broader “super”-conditional prerequisites are considered: Experience, skills, personality, product, business model, company organization, and broader environment. The data, collected through 49 interviews with digital journalistic entrepreneurs in Germany, is analysed with Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), a set theoretical method to determine necessity/sufficiency of preformulated conditions for a respective outcome (i.e., entrepreneurial (non-)success). The results indicate high importance of, first, the experience of the founder, and, second, the functioning organization of the company, while, interestingly, third, only absence of support from the broader environment and/or government contributed to the success.

Do Small Streams Make a Big River? Detailing the Diversification of Revenue Streams in Newspapers’ Transition to Digital Journalism Businesses

The newspaper industry is in a deepening revenue crisis and the advertising side of the news business has virtually collapsed as a result of global competition with technology platforms, as well as the Covid-19 outbreak. This study examines the business of digital journalism through a revenue diversification lens and maps how the revenue streams of a national newspaper industry is shifting. Our case study is the Norwegian newspaper industry’s revenue streams from 2006 to 2019, a media market deemed particularly successful in making readers pay for news online. By means of industry data, we measure revenue diversification by applying the Revenue Diversity Index—an index which quantifies the number of revenue streams and the distribution amongst them for the whole newspaper industry. The findings identify a forced diversification which challenges assumptions of a simple and positive relationship between revenue diversification and economic performance. We find that revenue structures have flipped from an advertising based model to an audience dominated model, with a larger diversity of revenue sources but lower total revenues overall. The increasing prices of digital journalism may further expand knowledge gaps in the population between those willing and able to pay and those who are not.
