Some things are inevitable in life, and you are bound to experience them sooner or later. For instance, aging and falls are some of them. You probably have experienced it or know one or several individuals who have undergone it. Since the world is evolving each day, resources must be directed towards researchers and research, especially in the biomedical field in relation to these realities.
Surveys have revealed that almost 10% of the world population consists of people who are 65 years old and above. It has further been predicted that the number is bound to rise by18% by the year 2050. Additionally, the death toll from falls has been rising steadily from 2007 and will continue to climb as people get older. Despite the bigger number of the aging population, clinicians are insufficient to bridge the health sector gap appropriately.
The aging population has tremendously led to a decreased workforce, increased consumer demand, and financial pressures. This has contributed to the shortage of personnel in the medical field. Therefore, it is necessary to expose and integrate the upcoming and potential physicians to the global issues that are related to aging at the early stages of their training. If that is done, more students will be attracted to undertake the health-related courses connected to the aging process.
It is a practical necessity that future researchers be equipped with the skills and knowledge to handle the elderly. Today, most of the world public health training is happening after students have already specialized in their areas of interest. Henceforth, it will be beneficial if the upcoming cohorts research workforce on aging be nurtured to include the different groups.
Further research reveals that the aging population of African Americans, Asians, mixed-race, and Hispanics is bound to increase while that of Non-Hispanics and whites is expected to decrease. It will be beneficial if the talents of the underrepresented minority groups are put into good use. To have adequate personnel, other factors such as gender, ethnicity, race, socio-economic background, and physical ability have to be considered when training healthcare professionals.
Furthermore, only 20% of the underrepresented groups that pursue their undergraduate studies under STEM always finish their courses. The challenge always comes when engaging this minority group about the STEM courses without breaching the academic standards. A time has come when students have to participate in active research to gain professional experience.
A big mantle has to be carried by the Historically Black Colleges and Universities. They play a role in the 2% of the nation’s degree-granting institutions, but they produce almost 40% of African American STEM degree students. A strong need has been created to develop educational programs that will equip undergraduate students in careers that address the world health problems, especially aging.
Biomedical engineering devices, interventions, and designs are set to be investigated by the University of the District of Columbia (“UDC”). UDC is poised to offer a good environment for the study of the biomedical engineering degree. The program is aiming at emphasizing aging-based courses and training.
Furthermore, UDC will offer rare aging-related research courses that will be available to undergraduate students. Invaluable training will also be provided to the underrepresented minority learners to help solve the situation. Bringing diverse groups on board, various solutions will also be available, which will bring balance in the global health sector. Furthermore, having diverse researchers on board will be a vital and major solution to the world’s medical problems, mainly on aging.
It would be eye-opening to learn what research entities like Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) are doing in relation to the specific health challenges the elderly in the community face.

Michigan has a new consumer market: Ohio’s medical cannabis patients and no, it’s not because their marijuana is better or of a higher quality. Only because it’s cheaper. Marijuana card holders from Ohio have revealed numerous times that they only travel to the cannabis clinics up north in Michigan to save money.
One medical marijuana patient recently stated in an interview that most Ohio clinics charged double the price that dispensaries in Michigan did. Another cannabis card holder, George McClure, admitted to going to Michigan dispensaries as they were far cheaper, even after factoring in the amount he’d spend to pay for gas to and from Michigan. He added that he signed himself up for text notifications that would inform him when Michigan cannabis clinics had sales, which would allow him to save almost 90% of what he’d pay in Ohio.
Most officials in Ohio’s medical cannabis industry hypothesize that once the cannabis industry in the state matures, the prices will decrease, making the herb more affordable to its consumers. State bodies who are tracking consumer costs support this notion.
It is estimated that approximately 9% of Michigan’s legal marijuana is sold to non-residents of the state, particularly individuals from Ohio and Indiana.
Michigan did have a head start though, seeing as they legalized medical cannabis over a decade ago and legalized recreational marijuana in 2018 for residents who are 21 years of age and above. Sales for recreational marijuana began in the state in late December of 2019.
This also makes Michigan a mature market in comparison to Ohio’s new market. However, buying medical marijuana in another state has its disadvantages. For instance, carrying cannabis across state lines, even legal cannabis, is illegal. Residents of Ohio can therefore, travel to Michigan and purchase the drug at any Michigan cannabis clinic of their choice but need to consume it before travelling back to Ohio.
Both states are however looking into an agreement that would allow cannabis cardholders who live in Ohio to purchase marijuana in Michigan and carry it back to Ohio. Nothing has been finalized though. Ohio issued a letter to medical cannabis cardholders that would allow them to bring cannabis products from Michigan for a period of 60 days after Ohio started a patient registry in 2018.
However, this appears not to apply to all Ohio residents who consume medical marijuana. Some residents of Ohio claim that prices in Ohio’s cannabis dispensaries are actually affordable. That is yet to be proven though.
It is such interstate activity that prompts analysts to think that sector players like The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (CSE: WTER) (NASDAQ: WTER) would be happier is the federal government legalized marijuana so that patients are free to buy and transport cannabis products anywhere around the country.

Precious minerals have become very crucial that every miner is not taking chances. Some continents like Europe have realized that they are running out of these precious minerals. Furthermore, Europe is also facing competition from low-cost minerals from China. The situation is putting Europe at a critical stage as it has to struggle and recover its sustainable minerals.
However, for this to happen, Europe will have to produce many of these minerals that the region does not have. This has forced the European Union to follow the U.S. and Japan’s footsteps to build its metallic supply. It is predicted that these precious metals will also play a vital role in determining the global economic order.
Europe’s Important Minerals
Like the U.S., Europe’s crucial minerals comprise some of the least known minerals, such as scandium, hafnium, and beryllium. Other minerals such as titanium, lithium, bauxite, and strontium have been added to the list of those critical minerals. Helium has been removed from the crucial minerals due to a drop in its economic value. Nickel, too, has not been added to the list but is being closely monitored.
Titanium and aluminum have also been subjected to national security investigations in the U.S. This has led to the introduction of some excise duty upon their supplier countries. Aluminum has also been identified by the World Bank as the main metal to help in achieving higher demands of renewable energy. However, it may be difficult to accomplish this as Europe’s aluminum production has been steadily declining since 2008.
Strontium has found itself among the crucial minerals because the whole of Europe depends on one European country for the supply of this metal. The metal is vital as it is used in the manufacture of robotics and ceramic magnets.
Lithium is not excluded from the list as it plays an important role in the manufacture of electric car batteries. It is considered crucial as it is one of the pillars in helping curb the spread of carbon in the atmosphere. The European Battery Alliance has also given the metal prominence, and most European industries also rely on it for their industrial ecosystem.
Areas of Importance
Europe’s minerals can be largely traced across the Atlantic. However, building a mineral supply from scratch will be a difficult task. For instance, 80% of the supply of lithium for car batteries must just come from Europe. However, this is a very aggressive target as refining lithium into its chemical form to make the batteries requires technical knowledge. The experts can only be found in China and Asia, hence putting Europe at crossroads.
Additionally, Europe will have to collaborate with other processers that offer friendly prices, such as Australia and Canada. The EU is also planning to integrate Ukraine and Norway and the Western Balkans into EU supply chains. Having a concrete partnership with other developing countries that are rich in minerals will also be essential. The only remaining thing is to see where Europe will invest its cash as it is on the verge of expanding its area of influence.
Competition from China
As china is dominating in the processing of minerals such as lithium and aluminum, it will force the EU to shift their supply chains away from China. Additionally, the EU will also have to defend their domestic producers from Chinese producers operating in parallel.
Furthermore, European production must be protected from unfair competition from the global market. Europe should also take other precautions, like investigating the imports of aluminum and other products to survive in the worldwide market.
This growing realization of how important the mining sector can be is most likely music to the ears of companies like Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) since governments now appreciate the role they play in national development.

Establishing Strategic Uranium Reserve Now Will Help Ensure U.S. Uranium Miners Can Benefit from the Agreement’s Long-Term Restrictions
LAKEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 14, 2020 – Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) (“Energy Fuels”), the leading producer of uranium in the United States, is pleased to announce that the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) has obtained Russia’s agreement to extend limits on uranium imports into the U.S. from Russia through 2040 under an extended Russian Suspension Agreement (“RSA”). This is an important step toward maintaining the long-term health of the U.S. uranium mining industry, especially since the expiration of the RSA at the end of 2020 could have resulted in unlimited Russian uranium imports into the U.S.
Commerce won important concessions from Russia, including lower quotas starting in the mid-2020’s, allowing only a portion of the quotas to be used for the sale of U3O8 and conversion into the U.S., and strict controls on Russian enrichment service contracts.
Mark S. Chalmers, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated: “Energy Fuels thanks the Department of Commerce for their efforts in reducing U.S. dependence on Russian uranium in the long tem. This is a critical step in restoring U.S. leadership in the global nuclear fuel sector and helping to revive the U.S. uranium mining industry.
“While we are pleased with the long-term prospects available to established U.S. uranium producers like Energy Fuels, the shorter-term picture for the U.S. uranium industry still remains uncertain. Even though Commerce has negotiated lower quotas starting in the mid-2020’s, the agreement allows for the ‘grandfathering’ of existing contracts between U.S. nuclear utilities and Russian state-owned enterprises, which will actually result in Russian uranium imports into the U.S. increasing during the next three years, before decreasing in the mid 2020’s. While the agreement does a good job at blocking Russia’s stated intention to expand its share of the U.S. uranium market over the long-term, it only provides U.S. uranium miners with limited immediate relief. Today’s announcement therefore highlights the importance and urgency of Congress appropriating the funds requested by the U.S. Department of Energy to support the strategic Uranium Reserve recommended by the U.S. Nuclear Fuel Working Group. Establishing the Uranium Reserve now will help ensure that U.S. uranium production capabilities can benefit from the long-term restrictions imposed under the extended RSA. We also support the efforts of Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming to put this agreement into law ‘so Russia cannot walk away from the deal’ in the future.
“The U.S. cannot consider itself to be energy independent when we are nearly 100% dependent on imports to fuel the nuclear power plants that provide nearly 20% of U.S. electricity. It is vital that Congress appropriate the funds to create the strategic Uranium Reserve to support U.S. national security and reduce Russia’s influence on the U.S. energy grid. Energy Fuels will continue to lead industry initiatives to reduce U.S. dependence on uranium imports from geopolitical challengers, including Russia.”
Commerce is releasing a draft amendment of the RSA for public comment. Comments will be due by 5:00 pm EDT on September 28, 2020. The draft amendment is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov (reference case number A-821-802), and it will also be published in the Federal Register. Commerce is seeking to finalize an amendment to the RSA no later than October 5, 2020, at which time it will go into effect and become binding on the U.S. and Russia.

Every parent knows that no two children are alike. So you’re wondering why your adolescent children take more risks as compared to the others but you have no explanation? Look no further. Scientists have discovered that in adolescents, the two centers of the brain; the one that makes them want to take risks as well as the other which works on preventing them from acting on these impulses, physically develop at different rates. It is reported that adolescents who have bigger differences in the rates of development of these two centers are much more likely to be risk-takers as compared to those with smaller differences.
This study was carried out by Curtis Johnson, a Biomedical Engineer from the University of Delaware and a graduate student, Grace McIIvain. The details of their study are explored below.
The socioemotional system refers to the part of the brain that compels adolescents to want to take risks while the cognitive control center is the part that helps stop them from acting on the said impulses.
As we previously mentioned above, the two centers mature at different rates. Researchers hypothesize that the fundamental structure of the brain manages the control and risk-taking tendencies.
The study used Magnetic Resonance Elastography to measure the brain tissues’ mechanical properties as a way to evaluate brain development. Elastography is a technique of imaging mechanical features of tissues using an MRI scanner. In layman’s language, scientists take snapshots showing how the brain bends as it vibrates under low frequencies. The images are then put through an algorithm that reverse engineers what is happening. If you are skeptical about safety, Johnson insists that MRE vibration is safe for individuals of all ages and as compared to the natural movement in the brain, it causes minimal movement. Additionally, it offers a lower vibration than other designated child devices.
MRE methods have also been used in adults to study diseases like Alzheimer’s, with research findings indicating relationships between cognitive performance and memory. These techniques are said to offer a more sensitive and objective way to study the wiring of an individual’s brain.
Johnson asserts that if they can point out individuals, based on their brain’s composition, that are more likely to take risks, it may help form prevention strategies.
Moreover, McIIvain added that equipped with the full understanding of the brain’s mechanical properties in an individual who has autism, they would be a step closer towards finding a way to accurately diagnose autism. This research is likely to be of great interest to entities like DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) who have an interest in using digital solutions to address health problems.

Cybin Corp., an exemplary Canada-based, life-science company focused on the development of pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin products, is at the forefront of change in an era open to exploring psychedelic treatment options where big pharma has failed. Started in the 1940s, but kiboshed in the 1960s with President Richard Nixon’s war on drugs, researchers have once again picked up the study of psychedelics in the treatment of mental health conditions. Research is showing positive results for many indications and disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, addictions, ADHD and more. A recent article discussing this reads, “Cybin believes that psychedelic substances derived from mushrooms can work as boosters for the brain, potentially rebuilding pathways and breaking negative patterns. Today more than 700 million people around the world struggle with mental illness, addiction or eating disorders — all areas where the benefits of psychedelic substances is being studied. What’s more, even though over 40 million Americans are taking psychiatric drugs, big pharma has not produced any new drug innovations in the last ten years (http://nnw.fm/RT9bI).”

Silk has an extensive history of being used in medical practices. For example, there exist vast records of doctors in the past using fibers that were spun by silkworms to stitch up patients nearly 200 years ago. Today, surgeons sometimes use silk sutures to finish certain operations, like eye surgeries.
This is mainly because silk is not only safe for use in a human body but is also tolerated well by the human body. In some instances, the body degrades and absorbs it. This is not silk’s only application. Its potential is limitless as researchers explore the different ways in which it can be used in biomedical applications. These researchers predict that in the future, silk combined with various synthetic compounds, may be used as knee cartilage cushion replacements as well as structures that hold bones in place after an operation.
Juan Guan, the principal investigator of this project and her colleagues are looking into various ways that will allow them to develop versatile materials that will be used in medicine and possibly, other fields. While other scientists may have come up with composite materials using silk, Guan and her colleagues are on a different path, focusing on silk fabric that is woven from one long thread. The study is using two types of commonly found silk i.e. Bombyx mori, from the domesticated silkworm and the Antheraea pernyi, which comes from a wild species that produces a tougher and stretchy fiber.
This, she explains, is because silkworm cocoons usually contain about 5000-foot-long fibers, which when utilized as a whole in fabric, can better distribute mechanical stress as compared to shorter fibers, which is what other scientists are working with. The researchers then bind this fabric using a polymer matrix, which forms a laminate, making it easier for it to be cut into the desired shapes that the researchers need to continue their research.
Guan as well as her colleagues also state that the features of these materials are a much better fit for human body tissues in comparison to what is in use currently. However, there are challenges that come with using this material in an individual’s body. For instance, the human body is moist on the inside, which may weaken and soften the silk.
Recent experiments that were carried out by the team discovered that while the stiffness of the material decreased in wetter surroundings, the composites still endured and were stiff enough to be able to function as implants. Research on integration of high-performance natural fibers is yet to be complete but the future shows promise, especially with regard to biomedical appliances.
What would biomedical companies like Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) do with a blend of silk and several polymers?

Although most developed governments have plans to phase out internal combustion-engine vehicles for electric vehicles over the next decade or so, one issue that stands in their way is charging. EVs generally don’t have that much range, unless you’re willing to shell out a few extra bucks for a vehicle with a larger battery and greater range. And even if you can afford to, chances are you will have to deal with issues like spotty charging infrastructure (unless you buy a Tesla which has its own network of charging systems).
However, technology pioneered by Trojan Energy may completely change the EV charging game as we know it. In a bid to create an elegant charging system that doesn’t sacrifice sidewalks and curbs to cables, Trojan Energy has developed an EV charging pole that comes out of the sidewalk to charge then slides back in when it is done. “With no permanent footprint or street clutter, it’s only visible when a vehicle is charging.” the company says.
“Better for wheelchair users, visually impaired, baby buggies, delivery drivers, children on bikes and scooters, teenagers on phones, refuse collectors, street cleaners, mobility scooters, and everyone on a busy pavement. Far less damaging in heritage areas.” Additionally, the charging poles provide up to 22 kW of power, just enough juice to quickly charge your battery pack without having to worry about degrading it.
Trojan Energy will be installing 200 of these charging poles into sidewalks in Brent and Camden in London, UK. “The Subsurface Technology for Electric Pathways (‘STEP’) project has been awarded £3m in co-funding by Innovate UK. If successful, it will enable entire streets to be filled with charging points so that no matter where a driver parks, they will be able to charge their EV,” writes Element Energy, a cleantech-focused consultant that is assisting with the pilot project.
“The technology consists of two parts, a charge point slotted into the ground, and a lance which is inserted into the charge point in order to charge. The charger can provide charge rates from 2kW to 22kW and up to 18 chargers can run parallel from one electricity network connection.” Trojan energy says that its goal is to become the UK’s leading conduit for vehicle-to-grid (“V2G”) use.
“By aggregating demand through one central power cabinet the possibility of EV to grid will become commercially viable. Ultimately we aim, with the help of our customers, to become the UK’s biggest battery allowing us to power the UK for days at a time if the wind doesn’t blow. The rewards for our customers and our planet will be massive and prove the point that a big idea and great engineering can change the world.”
Entities like Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) would gladly partner with innovative companies like Trojan Energy that are addressing a pressing need in an environmentally conscious way.

- SRAX acquiring LD Micro, leading information portal providing intraday information on micro-cap stocks
- Acquisition to accelerate adoption of Sequire, SRAX’s investment data analytics platform
- Sequire revenue grew 29% year-over-year for Q2 2020
- SRAX entered into $13 million definitive securities purchase agreement to fund Sequire’s rapid expansion
SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX), a digital marketing and consumer data management technology company, recently announced that it will acquire LD Micro, a leading data and event company serving the small and micro-cap space. Initially founded in 2006, LD Micro has grown from a newsletter into a portal that provides exclusive intraday information covering North American stocks with market capitalizations between $50 million and $300 million. SRAX’s move comes at a time of rapid growth for Sequire, its investment data analytics platform, making the acquisition a synergistic gain for both parties.
“LD Micro is, without a doubt, one of the most well-known and respected brands in micro-cap. Chris Lahiji and his team have done an incredible job of creating a loyal community of investors and issuers,” said SRAX founder and CEO Christopher Miglino. “LD Micro is also accretive to our investors from day one. We are confident that together we’ll accelerate the adoption of Sequire, while also enhancing LD Micro’s digital assets” (http://nnw.fm/ppRfl).
Sequire helps public companies unlock the power of data by providing tools that give valuable insights on the activities of both retail and institutional investors, in addition to providing the critical data necessary to activate successful marketing campaigns. With over one million active investors and traders across 91 public companies, the platform has experienced rapid growth since its creation in 2019, due mostly to its in-demand suite of products that include tools to harness investor intelligence and outreach, warrant tracking, survey creation, events and roadshows and customer relationship/resource management (“CRM”).
“What Chris and his team at SRAX have built is simply remarkable,” said LD Micro founder Chris Lahiji, who is expected to join SRAX’s board of directors following the acquisition.
“The platform is an absolute game-changer for public companies and their shareholders. Both companies believe that one day executives will rely on Sequire the same way investors rely on Bloomberg. Over 1,500 companies have presented at LD Micro’s events since 2008, and almost all of them would be immediate beneficiaries of this technology.”
LD Micro recently hosted its LD 500 conference in early September, featuring updates from hundreds of companies representing a wide range of industries. The online conference, considered to be the most ambitious project in LD Micro’s 14-year history, incorporated interviews and keynotes with small-cap royalty from some of the most prominent companies in the micro-cap world.
“We are also impressed with SRAX’s plans for the next generation of events,” continued Lahiji. “With more than one million investors on Sequire so far, we will continue hosting industry-leading forums with an audience that is 50 times our current reach.”
Besides doubling its user base since July to over a million investors and traders (http://nnw.fm/JRZtk), Sequire has also seen impressive financial success with 29% year-over-year revenue growth for Q2 2020, fueling plans to fund the platform’s expansion through an agreement for the purchase and sale of $13 million senior secured convertible debentures (http://nnw.fm/9fMKq). Besides Sequire, SRAX continues to capitalize on the growing demand for quantifiable and detailed consumer data through the creation and development of other specialized tools for the CPG, luxury goods and lifestyle verticals that reveal core consumers and their characteristics across various marketing channels.

Mining companies are now relying on artificial intelligence in trying to resolve some of the challenges that plague mining operations. This comes after a number of artificial intelligence (“AI”) companies have availed several technologies that can help in addressing the longstanding problems of the mining industry. This technology is essential as it is helping the companies reduce their operational costs.
Several mining companies are now thriving, courtesy of artificial intelligence. However, the decrease in the quality of the minerals ores is leading companies to consider using technology to remedy the situation. For example, the use of technologies from Intellisense.io, an AI startup, is helping companies to fully exploit minerals from their already owned mines than spending a lot of cash trying to explore other potential mining sites.
Artificial intelligence can also be applied in other mining procedures, such as pumping water and drilling mines. The software can also be used in testing other mining configurations without necessarily altering the mines and incurring additional extra costs.
Other technologies have also been created by Intellisense.io, which will apply artificial intelligence in managing the entire mine. The technology is set to optimize all the operations from a single point, and it will be capable of handling more than six mines at a go. For example, it will be monitoring the pumping of the ore as well as tracking the stockpile.
Additionally, artificial intelligence will help in monitoring all the mining procedures remotely. It will also have the capability of alerting and evacuating workers from dangerous underground mining pits before danger strikes.
The use of AI will also be employed in the mining of coal and gold in Australia and Russia, respectively. The company’s artificial intelligence will play a role in adjusting the milling process using virtual sensors’ information. The technology will bring a sigh of relief to mining engineers as they will now focus on long term plans to improve the whole mining process.
Artificial intelligence has also helped mining companies learn more about the terrain they are operating in. The use of this technology will fully give a clear map of the area you are operating on, and the AI can help prevent mining errors, saving the company from losing billions of dollars when mining in the wrong places. Besides, it can also be used to identify new mines and valuable minerals to drill and mine. Therefore, by making good use of the available AI, mines can become like offices where your presence won’t be needed frequently.
Industry watchers wonder to what extent mining companies like Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) are making use of AI in their operations.

Since COVID-19 struck, several containment measures were put in place to help curb the virus. They include working from home, sanitizing, and putting on protective gear such as masks. However, some essential workers were co-opted to work with the government to help in flattening the curve. These workers include drivers, sanitation workers, and health support staff.
With the challenges associated with work during the pandemic, the essential service providers have also been experiencing mental health challenges. Some have even undergone color-based violence, which has had negative impacts on their mental well-being. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the stress and the mental health challenges that these essential service providers face at this time of the pandemic.
Most of the critical service providers are those that are found in the middle strata of the social structure. In the U.S., most people in this class are the Latinos and Black Americans. Many of these people earn less than the median wage, and they are not entitled to other basic benefits. Additionally, most of these essential workers are not entitled to sick leave allowances and personal leave allowances. The vital workers have continuously reported working to keep their families going for fear of losing their jobs.
These workers are always required to be in close contact with their clients, hence making them vulnerable to COVID-19. Furthermore, they have also missed some important functions such as grieving with their families since most are not entitled to days off duty. It is traumatizing to handle COVID-19 patients without proper and quality gear. Most of the essential workers have found themselves in this situation, which has affected them both physically and psychologically.
These low-salaried workers face many challenges, such as insomnia, burnout, stress, and even nightmares. The daily experience of stressful situations exposes one to other traumatizing situations apart from mental problems. Most of them are also exposed to other physical health problems, such as heart disease and high blood pressure. Much had not been known about these essential services providers before the pandemic struck. However, since most of these workers are of color, they have been discriminated against by their families and work conditions. This has exposed them to serious mental problems that they are experiencing.
Increasing the number of essential workers will be of the essence because their shortage had been experienced for years, even before the pandemic struck. As they are at the forefront of saving other people’s health, their mental health should also be considered. Therefore, it is necessary to diversify the essential services so that all the social classes can benefit equitably.
Additionally, the introduction of peer support can be essential to these vulnerable workers. The government, together with other health care organizations, should consider implementing this program. The peer support system will help the workers share more about mental health and how it can be maintained despite the daily challenges faced. Mental Health First Aid training should also be offered to the essential workers to identify and resolve their mental health problems.
Analysts say it is disheartening to biomedical entities like DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) who know all too well how working on the frontlines can take a heavy toll on one’s mental health and wellbeing.

A global pandemic has been experienced at the beginning of the year in which millions have been infected, and thousands have lost their lives. Coronavirus, as it is commonly known by many, has been a thorn in the flesh for all the countries since it does not have a vaccine or a specific cure. However, virologists have been trying their very best to develop a remedy for the SARS-COV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19.
Several animal models that may have the same symptoms of COVID-19 to those experienced in human beings have been used in several studies to carry out research that cannot be done in human beings. One of the animals that has been subjected to this task is the African green monkey. It has been noted that it possesses similar traits of human COVID-19. It will be very beneficial in helping the virologists and other researchers make a breakthrough in their daily research.
Using Animals in Developing COVID-19 Models
Practically, it is not safe and ethical to test the hundreds of vaccines that are being developed to fight COVID-19 in humans. This is why animal models have to be used to determine the efficacy and safety of those vaccines before they are allowed to be used by human beings. Some small animals, such as ferrets and hamsters, are used as the coronavirus’ immunocompetent models and other non-human primates (“NHP”).
Non-human primates have been used severally as models, and the results have always been promising. For COVID-19, the African green monkey has been identified as the best non-human primate in the search for a coronavirus vaccine as it has some dominant features of human COVID-19. The coronavirus research has exposed the NHP to the virus in various ways, such as through the nose, trachea, eyes, mouth, and via a combination of all those gateways.
To properly determine how the virus is transmitted into human beings, the atomized particles of sizes between 30µm-100µm containing SARS-COV-2 were delivered into the respiratory tract of the African green monkey. The atomized particles are consistent in droplets’ size and are exhaled from human beings when they cough or sneeze, propagating its transmission.
The African Green Monkey and COVID-19
When human beings are exposed to COVID-19 several outcomes will be experienced, from being asymptomatic to critical illness. However, the coronavirus research conducted on the African green monkey has shown that the fatality rate is very low as it is the fatality rate being experienced globally. The primate also demonstrated a wide range of clinical signs. In human beings, the signs and symptoms will depend on various factors such as genetics, age, and other underlying medical conditions.
In animal models, it was noted that most of these signs could be easily experimentally controlled. High dosages of the SARS-COV-2 were used in the African green monkey to trigger severe coagulopathy and pneumonia. The results showed that green monkeys could be used to study human respiratory diseases. The research was also able to examine the tissues of the monkey, especially at the peak levels of the virus, which could not be conducted in human beings.
The Final Verdict
It was noted that the African green monkey provided a good model that could be used to evaluate whether the vaccine could shorten or eliminate the shedding period. Furthermore, the African green monkey can give a good model to assess the vaccine’s efficiency and other treatments, while also studying other respiratory infections. Though it is a challenge to keep the NHP for long in laboratories, future research is essential to examine the functioning of the lungs after the monkeys recover.
Experts believe that biomedical companies like Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) will be following closely the progress of studies done using African green monkeys as test subjects.

SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a financial technology company that unlocks data and insights for publicly traded companies, has reported that a major CPG company activated BIGtoken’s proprietary consumer panels to create drive purchases of a new product. Built by SRAX, BIGtoken allowed a large global food and beverage company to create an insight-driven, digital campaign that outperformed all other marketing tactics used by the company. The outcome of the campaign — a 45% purchase lift at participating stores — was made available through a case study. The case study reports that, as a result of using the BIGtoken platform, this campaign had the highest recall rate of all channels, outperforming in-store tactics and other digital offers. “This new case study underscores the sheer power and capacity the BIGtoken platform has in identifying real purchase intenders within niche markets and then building those audiences at scale,” said BIGtoken EVP George Stella in the press release. “We leveraged the full scope of the platform for this major CPG company from activating against our panel insights-driven audiences to measuring campaign effectiveness on purchase intent. BIGtoken is a closed loop solution, which is what makes this platform unlike any other.”

Over the past few years, it has become exceedingly clear that the carbon-based energy that propelled humanity to its greatest heights is quite harmful to the environment. Governments have therefore started turning to solar and wind-generated energy as well as electric vehicles to reduce their countries’ overall carbon footprint. In fact, plenty of developed countries have plans to phase out internal combustion-engine vehicles in exchange for electric vehicles, which thanks to the battery packs that power them, run on clean energy, and have zero emissions.
EV batteries can power an EV for thousands of miles followed by a secondary use before finally giving out. In fact, some battery and automakers are working on developing a million-mile battery that would be able to power two EVs followed by a secondary use. If you were to look into a conventional EV battery pack, you would see hundreds of individual battery cells packaged into modules or pockets.
The battery pack is usually several meters in length to accommodate all the individual cells and it is housed along the chassis of the car, often in a skateboard configuration. According to former Tesla and now Lucid CEO Peter, it’s important to differentiate. “The small, individual elements are the cells, the finished unit is the battery.” Housed at the bottom of the EV, the battery pack is designed to maintain a temperature optimum for the cells inside despite the current weather or climate.
Most EV makers like Tesla and Jaguar use lithium-ion batteries while hybrids like Toyota use nickel-metal hydride batteries. EV batteries have to be able to store a lot of energy, recharge quickly, and retain their energy density over thousands of charging cycles. To power EVs over thousands of miles, EV battery packs are quite large, with the largest ranging up to 100kWh (KiloWatt hours) and the smallest being around 30 something kWh.
A 100kWh battery will deliver a maximum of 100 kilowatts for an hour straight. However, typical day to day use will not require that much energy, so a 100kWh battery pack can power an EV for several hours on a single charge. Your specific set of needs will thus determine the kind of EV you purchase.
If you’re looking for something to drive to work in and run errands around town, an EV with a smaller battery pack would be ideal, giving you around 100-130 kWh of range. However, if you want to travel longer distances, a larger 100kWh battery with 200+ miles of range would be the best choice.
It wouldn’t be surprising if entities like Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) devised ways to help EV owners keep their batteries charged on the go so that range isn’t an issue anymore.

Research has shown that the alleviation of pain during an immunization procedure can improve the vaccine’s acceptance and also decrease the hesitancy of parents to vaccinate their children. Research on babies who are between 0 to 6 months shows that breastfeeding an infant during vaccine injections is an effective way of decreasing pain during routine immunizations.
Below, we look into how breast feeding helps to calm infants during these procedures.
The study discovered that children who were breastfed took a longer time to cry after the needle was introduced. It also ascertained that formula-fed and breast-fed infants recorded very short crying spans.
Breastfeeding seemed to relieve the pain with various factors combined such as skin-to-skin contact, sucking, rocking, warmth, the smell and sound of the infant’s mother. The endogenous opiates that are found in breast milk could also be an additional factor.
However, the pain-relieving effects of bottle feeding are more difficult to explain. The sweet taste of milk still remains a possibility though. The basis of this being several studies that looked into sweet-tasting solutions and discovered that providing sucrose (with or without healthy sucking) was linked to lesser pain in comparison with the use of pure water. Additionally, babies who ingested sucrose cried for a shorter period of time as compared to those who ingested sterile water.
The research findings also recorded that mothers were grateful for the feeding pain-alleviating method as well as the holding of their infants. This measure seemed to reassure the mothers. The Center for Disease Control adds to this, stating that a parent embracing their child during vaccination offers various benefits. Embracing the child in a comforting hold prevents them from moving their limbs during injections and also ensures the infant is not frightened, as they would be if they had been overpowered in order for the injection to be administered. This may motivate the parents to soothe their infant which allows the health care professional control of the limb and a clear shot. This however does not take into account instances where the health care professional may prefer having the child on the examination table when administering a vaccine.
The study recommends that this strategy be promoted as a practical pain-relief method and should be used by health professionals during the vaccine administration procedures. This applies to both formula-fed and breast-fed children.
Experts say such research that emphasizes natural contact between babies is exactly what biomedical companies like DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) are comfortable with.

The Sustainable Food Co. from New Zealand, a zero-waste catering company, has developed hemp-based meat, the first of its kind in the world. It plans to introduce it to the market as a sustainable substitute to meat in early 2021.
This company is also the producer of other plant-based meats. Some of these plant-based meats have hemp in them for its nutritional value. The company will roll out its hemp-based burgers in collaboration with Greenfern Industries, a medical marijuana producer, through its Craft Meat Co. brand.
Kyran Rei, the co-founder of Sustainable Food Co. revealed in an interview earlier this year that all of their consumer goods use hemp as it is very rich in nutrition and is considered to be a nutritionally complete food source globally.
The company has been testing and developing the hemp-burger for several months now and in cooperation with the Massey University’s Ridley Institute’s researchers, they concluded their research after the founders, Justin Lemmens and Kyran Rei decided on different products that were environmentally friendly and were also rich in dietary fiber and protein.
Kyran Rei added that despite the main focus of the company not being to create an alternative that is an exact duplicate of meat, he relates the taste of the hemp-burger to the experience of eating chicken.
Dan Casey, Managing Director at Greenfern Industries when asked about the collaboration stated that they partnered up with the Riddet Institute for about a year for background research as well as hemp product development. Here, they used obtained cake, seed and oil from high-quality hemp for the end result.
The hemp Sustainable Foods Co. used in the hemp-burger is also sourced locally and the highly sustainable hemp growing techniques that Greenfern Industries uses are a plus. Additionally, the plastic packaging to be used will be made from recycled materials.
Furthermore, a plant-based diet minimizes the carbon footprint that is created by the meat industry. With the public becoming more conscious of the destructive effect on the environment that meat production has, plant-based meat as well as dairy substitutes have grown in popularity and use in the developed world.
The Sustainable Foods Co. plans to carry out various product trials in the remainder of this year so as to be ready for next year’s launch both for exporting and for the local market in New Zealand.
It is these sorts of innovative hemp products that make sector players like The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (CSE: WTER) (NASDAQ: WTER) believe that there is no limit as what products can be made from hemp.

The high production of natural gas, especially from Shale, has made the U.S. think that they do not require coal and nuclear energy to meet the high electricity demand. This is a big misconception since the two sources of energy are still needed to help supply the much-required electricity in the country. Since the economy of America is growing at a rapid rate, depending on one source of energy is very risky hence the need to diversify to various sources of energy.
High Demand for Electricity
Due to the increasing electricity demand, it will be difficult for America to supply enough power using one source of energy. According to research, electricity demand is expected to rise by 20% by the year 2040. Therefore, producing enough power to meet the demand using one source of energy will be very difficult. For this to be successful, America must diversify into other sources of energy such as nuclear and coal.
Closure of Coal and Nuclear Energy Plants
Several coal plants have been shut down in Pennsylvania, and others elsewhere are expected to be shut down soon. The coal plants are expected to be replaced by wind power and natural gas. Other sources of energy that are also on the verge of closure are nuclear energy. Due to the rapid closure of these energy sources, America could have serious electrical problems which may lead to brownouts and blackouts. Constant blackouts may bring great losses to the industrial sector and lead to unemployment among Americans.
It is very dangerous to believe that coal and natural gas can be replaced by natural gas to produce enough power to be used in the whole of America. Natural gas has been supplying about 80% of the needed power, hence closing the coal, and nuclear power plants will lead to overstretching of the natural gas supply. It also means that liquefied gas will have to be imported to meet the growing electricity demand.
Due to this, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) has intervened by invoking subsidies similar to wind and solar energy to save coal and nuclear energy. The commission has urged that such subsidies be introduced immediately. The FERC is conducting its research on the reliability of electricity, and it will not allow the coal and nuclear energies in America to close prematurely.
Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is one of the best eco-friendly forms of energy and it accounts for 19% of America’s energy and 35% of the electricity used in Pennsylvania. Therefore, it should be backed up as wind and solar energy since they only contribute to 7% of the U.S. energy supply. Additionally, wind and solar energy are always backed up with nuclear and coal energy when wind and solar are not available.
The noble thing that can be done by the government is to stop the closure of nuclear and coal plants. This will be both beneficial to the state and its citizens. Several jobs will be saved, and also the government will not incur a loss in taxes if these plants continue to operate. It is time the FERC acted at its best to avoid putting America at the risk of power dependency and save the coal and nuclear plants. Experts believe that mining industry companies like Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) hope that as many power sources as possible remain available so that supply can grow in tandem with the growing demand for electricity.

For more than thirty decades, researchers have had the knowledge that sperms have been swimming by moving their tails side by side. It has been so because they have been using the 2D microscopes in making that observation. However, the real movement of the sperms has been discovered by the scientist using the 3D microscopy.
How Human Sperms Move
Sperms spin with a wobbly amorphic twist. It is the opposite of what had been known before about the movement of the sperms. Scientists used a very high-speed camera that can record more than 56,000 frames in a second to determine the sperms’ direction. Additionally, they also used a microscope assembled with a piezoelectric device capable of moving the sperm samples up and down.
The camera is fixed at the central point as the piezoelectric device rotates in a vertical direction at a speed of 3650 m/s, which is faster than the human sperm movement. At such high supersonic speed, the sperm’s tail does not move; hence, it allows the system to collect the picture stack at every moment in 3D. The researchers also used mathematical knowledge in explaining their findings.
Their observation found out that the sperm tail is unstable, and it only swings towards one side. It was also noted that preventing the sperms from swimming in circular motions is because they roll as they swim; only allowing the forward movement. Scientifically it can be said that the sperms make symmetrical movements out of asymmetric movement.
The Shortcomings of 2D Sperm Analysis
Using the 2D semen analysis system, the researchers had gotten it wrong on how the sperms move. The use of 2D in analyzing the movement of sperms had shown that the tail of the sperm was seen swinging back and forth like the fish called eels in water. Initially, it was also seen that the head depended on the flagellum for its oscillation. However, after using the 3D, it was noted that both the head and the flagellum are rotating independently.
Emergence and Usage of 3D Microscopy
3D microscopy has been in existence for the last ten years. Perfecting it has also taken some time, especially when cooperating with the piezoelectric device and the mathematics involved in it. In a real sense, sperms have been moving faster; the problem was coming up with a 3D machine that could proceed at a supersonic speed that could effectively monitor their movement.
Having this novel knowledge on how the sperms move will help biological research and fertility studies. The knowledge will also be useful in robotics, artificial intelligence and other health engineering projects. As several innovations are still coming up, it may be found that the 3D analysis of sperm movement is wrong. This is because science keeps on changing and any researcher who wants to be at the forefront must always cope with all scientific changes.
It would be enlightening to hear what companies like Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) say about the significance of overhauling what has always been thought of as the mechanism through which human sperm moves.
