Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose and His Determination

 Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose was a humble scientist. Else why would he share with the world his experiments on radio waves, that finally led to the invention of the radio. Any other scientist would have gone for a patent first to prove the work was unique and done by him first. But to Jagadish Bose, knowledge was something that was to be shared among all. Unfortunately, this feeling of a humble man did not allow him to get his due worth. What we call recognition! Had he not been born in British India, where he was a victim of racial discrimination, Acharya Jagadish Bose would have probably got even the Nobel Prize.

Lord Ripon had appointed Bose as a professor of Presidency College. As a professor there, he was paid only 200 rupees, whereas his English counterparts drew a salary of 300 rupees. But not succumbing to any racial discrimination, Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose stood up demanding equal pay. When the British refused, he went on teaching without taking any salary as a protest to the racial discrimination of the British, where Indian professors despite their educational degree and talent were paid less.

Bose was also denied entry in the laboratories, where other scientists conducted their researches and experiments. So, he had to work from a 24 sqft room on some of the greatest path-breaking researches of the world. But such discriminations could not deter Bose from being a great teacher to some of the most famous scientists of India, like Meghnad Saha and Satyendra Nath Bose. It was the grit and determination of this great teacher, that forced the British to finally give in, and pay all his dues, increase his salary and make him a permanent faculty.

VISUME Script: Syed Nawaz Mehdi

 

Hello, my name is Syed Nawaz Mehdi. I am 25 yrs. old and I am from Sheikhpura, Bihar. I did my schooling from Aurangabad and Graduation from NIT Patna in Mechanical Engineering.

I worked for 12 months in Alstom as a GET in Methods Department. I was posted in Madhepura (BR) where we have an E-loco assembly plant.

My first project was on Method Time Study. In this project, I had to video record the installations at five different working stations in an assembly line. 

The purpose of this project was to segregate Value-Added and Non-Value-Added activities and further eliminate the waste present in the system so as to achieve lean manufacturing. 

I had made the master database of 170 installations and corresponding to each installation there were action plans to achieve the prescribed efficiency. It took me seven months to complete this project.

Looking at my hard work and dedication, I was given the responsibility to implement the action plan using innovative ideas and kaizens.  

We were finally able to reduce the cycle time by 2%. This project helped me developed team-building skills and techno-managerial skills. 

Alstom was a greenfield project and therefore I had an opportunity to experience the development of the industry from scratch.

Apart from my study and work, I have extensively participated in start-up activities during my college days. 

We had found a school management company and were able to sell our product in nine schools. I have represented NIT Patna in Bihar Startup Conclave 2016. 

I have several achievements in extra-curricular activities like; first prize in poem writing and short story writing, gold medal in Volleyball tournament and bronze medal in Badminton and Cricket. I am also a trained Badminton Player.

This is a brief introduction about myself. Thank you.

Impact of Electronic Health Records (EHR)

This era has been radically transformed by digital technology-smart phones, tablets, and web-enabled devices have transformed the daily lives and the way we communicate. Medicine is an information-rich enterprise.

A greater and more seamless flow of information within a digital health care infrastructure, created by electronic health records (EHRs), encompasses and leverages digital progress and can transform the way care is delivered and compensated. 

With EHR, information is available whenever and wherever it is needed.

    Thus it leads to,

·       Improved Patient Care.

·       Increase Patient Participation

·       Improved care coordination

·       Practice efficiencies and cost savings

SECURITY CONCERNS IN ADOPTING EHR

There has been very little activity in policy development involving the numerous significant privacy issues raised by a shift from a largely disconnected, paper-based health record system to one that is integrated and electronic. Moreover, the advances in Information and Communications Technologies has led to a situation in which patients health data are confronting new security and privacy threats. The three fundamental security goals are :

·       Confidentiality

·       Integrity and

·       Availability  

The protection and security of personal information is critical in the health sector, and it is thus necessary to ensure the CIA of personal health information.

·       Confidentiality -Process that ensures that information is accessible only to those authorized to have access to it.

Confidentiality is roughly equivalent to privacy. Measures were undertaken to ensure confidentiality is designed to prevent sensitive information from reaching the wrong people while making sure that the right people can, in fact, get it: Access must be restricted to those authorized to view the data in question. It is common, as well, for data to be categorized according to the amount and type of damage that could be done should it fall into unintended hands. More or less stringent measures can then be implemented according to those categories.

Sometimes safeguarding data confidentiality may involve special training for that privacy to such documents. Such training would typically include security risks that could threaten this information. Training can help familiarize authorized people with risk factors and how to guard against them. Further aspects of training can include strong passwords and password-related best practices and information about social engineering methods, to prevent them from bending data-handling rules with good intentions and potentially disastrous results.

A good example of methods used to ensure confidentiality is an account number or routing number when banking online. Data encryption is a common method of ensuring confidentiality. User IDs and passwords constitute a standard procedure; two-factor authentication is becoming the norm. Other options include biometric verification and security tokens, key fobs or soft tokens. In addition, users can take precautions to minimize the number of places where the information appears and the number of times it is transmitted to complete a required transaction. Extra measures might be taken in the case of extremely sensitive documents, precautions such as storing only on-air gapped computers, disconnected storage devices or, for highly sensitive information, in hard copy form only.

 

Electronic Health Record using Blockchain Technology

Blockchain enables a global database of medical records of a patient by removing the trusted intermediaries which are indeed super powerful and has the capability to transform the traditional healthcare system widely. In this thesis work, different existing methodologies have been investigated and how to efficiently make use of blockchain technology in the healthcare domain has been studied. It majorly solves the problem of scaling, protecting and information sharing securely globally.

Despite an increased focus on the security of electronic health records, the private information of patients is subject to data breaches on a regular basis. Previous efforts to combat this have resulted in data being mostly inaccessible to patients. Existing record management systems struggle with balancing data privacy and the need for patients and providers to regularly interact with data. Blockchain technology is an emerging technology that enables data sharing in a decentralized and transactional fashion. Blockchain’s intermediary-free, cryptographically secured attributes offer a new way of storing patient data securely and at the same time publicly available in a regulated way, where a well designed distributed peer to peer network incentivize the smooth operation of a full-featured EHR system. Blockchain is causing a hype and optimism that has rarely been seen in the history of technology. With examples for public healthcare management,user-oriented medical research and drug counterfeiting in the pharmaceutical sector, this thesis work aims to illustrate possible influences, goals and potentials connected to this disruptive technology.

An electronic health record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient’s paper chart. EHRs are real-time, patient-centred records that make information available instantly and securely to authorized users. While an EHR does contain the medical and treatment histories of patients, an EHR system is built to go beyond standard clinical data collected in a provider’s office and can be inclusive of a broader view of a patient’s care. EHRs are a vital part of health IT and can contain a patient’s medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory and test results allow access to evidence-based tools that providers can use to make decisions about a patient’s care automate and streamline provider workflow.

One of the key features of an EHR is that health information can be created and managed by authorized providers in a digital format capable of being shared with other providers across more than one health care organization. EHRs are built to share information with other health care providers and organizations – such as laboratories, specialists, medical imaging facilities, pharmacies, emergency facilities, and school and workplace clinics – so they contain information from all clinicians involved in a patient’s care.

With EHRs, an organization can help build a healthier future for our nation

Artificial Intelligence generates Employment opportunities

The AI and mechanical autonomy segment never neglect to intrigue individuals with advancements. Assignments that used to be viewed as very mind-boggling until already have now been delivered basic, in this way giving experts a more extensive space to concentrate on different errands. What's more, the expansion of AI strategies has one more advantage; as the quantity of AI and mechanical technology gadgets increment, so will the requirement for work jobs to help and keep up their working.

 

Subsequently, there will be an interest for experts who get mechanical technology and AI at each phase of the advancement cycle. This adds up to in any event a 66% expansion in the present place of the employment situation. In an ongoing report led by Capgemini, almost 80 per cent of the 1,000 associations who actualize man-made brainpower has expressed that they would recruit AI and apply autonomy experts for new position jobs

 

The effect of man-made brainpower and mechanical technology on business openings have consistently been a subject of much theory. With regards to sorting out and controlling information, handling complex numerical issues, and executing errands instantly, AI and mechanical autonomy are the most favoured decision. Thus, AI has infiltrated pretty much every industry, from development, transport, and assembling to business knowledge, instruction, and medicinal services. It is, subsequently, to be expected that numerous Silicon Valley figures, including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, accept that not exclusively can man-made consciousness backing and upgrade existing occupations, however, it can likewise make new jobs.

 

A report produced by Gartner proposes that by 2020, AI would create an expected 2.3 million employments. This figure was determined by considering the 1.8 million employments made easier via computerization. In any case, similar to whatever other innovation, with regards to area abilities, AI and mechanical technology additionally require devoted instructional classes. This has prodded the requirement for a man-made consciousness course, along these lines getting ready experts for another flood of progress achieved by advancements in mechanical technology and man-made brainpower.
