Tracking API Quality During a Pandemic

With additional safety protocols required in the manufacturing environment, gatherings of large people generally prohibited, and onsite inspections limited due to restricted travel, ensuring quality throughout the supply chain from raw material to API is more challenging. Employee safety is always a priority for Thermo Fisher Scientific, and since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic the company has focused on protecting their health and safety while continuing to serve the needs of its customers, according to Vice President of Drug Substance Quality, Ben Gerlach. [...]of the support, flexibility, and discipline of our colleagues and supply chain partners, as well as the IT infrastructure available, all Thermo Fisher API manufacturing sites have remained operational since the start of the pandemic with continued GMP compliance," Gerlach remarks. Expanding our footprint and ensuring supply chain redundancy has enabled us to minimize the risk of supply chain interruptions and work with partners efficiently," he explains. Because of the circumstances connected with COVID-19, Ross also stresses that it is extremely important to frequently engage with supply chain partners to ensure that Cambrex understands the impact of the pandemic on their businesses and any potential downstream effects on Cambrex's unit operations that might ensue.

Peddling the Revolution?

[...]as there is no need to rent shop space and the seller purchases products only after an order has been paid, it is a business that requires no advanced capital and thus is easily accessible to young and poor people. [...]it involves an almost exclusively one-way flow of Taiwan-made commodities to Hong Kong and a flow of cash in the opposite direction. Taiwanese snacks, fruit, and creative cultural products are also increasingly popular in the city, partly for political reasons. Since the 2014 Umbrella Movement, Taiwan's government and civil society organisations have stood behind Hongkongers' struggle for democracy, incurring criticism from the Chinese authorities. According to the explanation provided on RS International's website, the initials ‘RS' refer to ‘Radical Solider' and ‘Rebuild System', indicating their radical motivations.

Phish Responder: A Hybrid Machine Learning Approach to Detect Phishing and Spam Emails

Using technology to prevent cyber-attacks has allowed organisations to somewhat automate cyber security. Despite solutions to aid organisations, many are susceptible to phishing and spam emails which can make an unwanted impact if not mitigated. Traits that make organisations susceptible to phishing and spam emails include a lack of awareness around the identification of malicious emails, explicit trust, and the lack of basic security controls. For any organisation, phishing and spam emails can be received and the consequences of an attack could result in disruption. This research investigated the threat of phishing and spam and developed a detection solution to address this challenge. Deep learning and natural language processing are two techniques that have been employed in related research, which has illustrated improvements in the detection of phishing. Therefore, this research contributes by developing Phish Responder, a solution that uses a hybrid machine learning approach combining natural language processing to detect phishing and spam emails. To ensure its efficiency, Phish Responder was subjected to an experiment in which it has achieved an average accuracy of 99% with the LSTM model for text-based datasets. Furthermore, Phish Responder has presented an average accuracy of 94% with the MLP model for numerical-based datasets. Phish Responder was evaluated by comparing it with other solutions and through an independent t-test which demonstrated that the numerical-based technique is statistically significantly better than existing approaches.

WAITING FOR THE SQUEEZE TO "SQUOOZE": WALLSTREETBETS AND GENERAL SEMANTICS: A REVIEW OF GENERAL SEMANTICS

Quinn focuses on GameStop's stock price skyrocketing partly due to promotion by members of the Reddit subforum r/wallstreetbets (WSB) and the aspect of general semantics (GS). A more pressing question for GS, as well as media ecology, would ask a large group of novice investors were convinced to invest in GameStop and other "meme stocks." Addressing this issue requires to study the Internet as a media environment as well as Reddit and WSB as a culture. The Internet's many-to-many communication structure and instantaneous content delivery have, among other things, produced numerous subcultures based on everything from superhero films to investing. These subcultures generate and traffic in a language of memes, inside jokes, and stories, a language reminiscent of previous media environments.

ViewpointEnabling circular supply chains in a high-tech manufacturing industry

With this approach, we aim to add value to the industry's major supply chain players which comprise the independent device manufacturers (IDMs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and third-party service providers (Hickey and Kozlovski, 2020). The proposed system approach 2.1 Support for the shared reverse logistics A shared reverse-logistics process incorporating an industry-sponsored marketplace enhanced with a trusted knowledge-sharing environment was shown to benefit aftermarket operations for the semiconductor industry (Hickey and Kozlovski, 2020;Bahinipati and Deshmukh, 2012). 2.2 e-marketplace design The design method was enhanced with a combination of soft systems methodology and thematic analysis guiding the exploration of real world and systems world issues, elicitation of requirements and identification of system's features based on interviewing a diverse range of experts from different organisations within the industry (Checkland and Poulter, 2020). [...]there exists as an entrepreneurial opportunity in the market (Bahinipati and Deshmukh, 2012).
