Advanced Persistent Threat Market Share, Scope, and Growth Predictions for 2022 – 2030

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Advanced Persistent Threat Market,” The advanced persistent threat market was valued at $5.9 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $30.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 20.5% from 2022 to 2030.

An Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a network attack in which cybercriminals enter a computer or network and use it (its system) to conduct undetected operations. APT attacks are mostly directed at companies that handle highly secret data, such as governmental and financial institutions.

Since APT do not appear to be malware at first glance and can infiltrate themselves quite deeply in an administration’s IT systems, and are particularly difficult to identify and remove. The APT’s developers and designers are continuously keeping an eye on it and directing its actions by updating their code to evade detection and morph it into a changing set of characteristics. Moreover, a penetrated company won’t even be aware of it; they might not learn about it until much later through log analysis monitoring with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions or by outbound communication activities.

Cyber threats are not only affecting the productivity of businesses but also harming essential IT infrastructure and sensitive data of firms. There is a surge in the frequency of cybercrimes because of the quick growth of digital transactions across all industrial verticals. The market for cyber security goods and services is being driven by the rise in enterprise data breaches or data leaks. This increase is attributable to technologies such as Machine Learning (ML), which enable attackers to produce several variants of harmful code every day. Malware bytes also notes that state-sponsored APT organizations and online criminals have switched to using COVID-19 lures. Attacks include lure documents with links to malicious Microsoft Office templates, malicious macros, RTF exploits using OLEI-related vulnerabilities, and malicious LNK files.

Advanced persistent threats are diverse in nature, long-lasting, and highly targeted. Due to the emergence of several new zero day threats, the security needs are also changing as a result of changes in the business environment. Businesses are at danger due to this lack of knowledge about advanced security risks, which is also slowing the demand for advanced persistent threat prevention. Enterprises generally lack a lot of understanding regarding APTs and effective defense strategies.

Concerns about security have increased dramatically as a result of the rising trend of a gazillion gigabytes of sensitive data flowing to the cloud, since cyber attackers are now a serious threat. Companies that rely too much on cloud-based business models are now more vulnerable than ever to a variety of cyber threats. The goal of security is the continuous and continuing assessment of risks and uncertainties. Data breaches have become a very common occurrence due to the massive volume of data produced by IoT devices, data loss prevention technologies, and security information (security solutions) in industry 4.0. In order to deal with these data breaches, firms are choosing advanced analytics, strict access controls, and technology.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Advanced Persistent Threat Protection Industry

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the world’s economies are currently experiencing a severe crisis

Coronavirus-based hacking has been used by a number of Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups, including those funded by governments and cybercriminals, to infect victims’ computers and spread malware

For instance, the North Korean-based threat group Kimsuky started employing spear-phishing emails with the topic COVID-19 in March 2020, as its first infection vector

The emails have malicious attachments and a bug that enables remote code execution by taking advantage of a weakness in the Microsoft Office OLE interface to spread malware

Key Findings of the Study

Based on deployment mode, the on-premise sub-segment emerged as the global leader in 2021 and the cloud sub-segment is anticipated to be the fastest growing sub-segment during the forecast period

Based on services, the managed services sub-segment emerged as the global leader in 2021 and the professional services sub-segment is anticipated to be the fastest growing sub-segment during the forecast period

Based on solutions, the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) sub-segment emerged as the global leader in 2021 and the Next-generation Firewall (NGFW) sub-segment is predicted to show the fastest growth in the upcoming years

Based on region, the North America market registered the highest market share in 2021 and Asia-Pacific is projected to show the fastest growth during the forecast period.

lmao I have so many au's for this funky lil guy

Bike au! bike au! bike au! bike au! bike au! :D (please forgive any spelling/grammar mistakes)

Don't ask me how I drew the bike, I was like 'hey why not use the select tool and gradient tool?' and then I blacked out for a few hours and when I awoke there was a bike on the page. I should probably drop some lore with this too.

So the scarab is still an alien that came to earth, but it was attached to -essentially- an accompanying spacecraft which the scarab is directly linked to. Unlike the movie, the scarab/bike was claimed by Victoria Kord almost immediately after Ted Kord died, and she attempted to reverse engineer it for her own interests. Unfortunately for her, the scarab was completely unresponsive to external stimulus and no tools were advanced enough to take apart the scarab/bike. There was only one instance of the mechanisms reacting to something, and that was long ago -before Kord industries was established- and they weren't able to get even an understanding of this alien technology at the time. And no matter how persistent Victoria Kord is, she isn't able to do anything with it.

Kord industries (founded by Ted Kord, with the inspiration of the scarab and Ted's brilliant mind) focused on making bikes and other motor vehicles inspired directly by the scarab. He didn't know how the bike worked but he could theorise and make his own inventions that worked for him. The company became one of the main manufacturers of bikes in the world, and holds racing events every year or so to bring in more publicity. Victoria does not care for these races, but she understands that they're good for the company. Victoria is -non surprisingly- more concerned about the military research and developments in the company.

After years of ruthless and expensive testing on the scarab/bike, with no results, the share holders expressed their concern with the lack of profits and new designs coming out since Ted's passing. Her researchers express how even Ted Kord was not able to get the scarab to respond, and therefore it had been almost 50 years since the scarab was reported to have activated (allegedly). With threats to pull out investments, Victoria was forced to abandon the Scarab program and quickly focus on other RnD departments. Though she personally still wanted to harness the power of the scarab, but she could do nothing without the money.

Through the neglect of the dismissed program, the bike is moved about into storage. But with one miscommunication, it ends up in the wrong warehouse. More time passes, and the warehouse is ordered to be cleaned out without concern for what's in there. The bike ends up in a scrapyard where it cannot be destroyed, so the owner takes the opportunity to sell it to another mechanic for a bit of extra money 'the company wont even know it's been resold'. The mechanic -completely unable to do anything with the funky beetle bike- tries to make his money back by selling to another scrap yard. And there it stayed for another few years, all the while Kord industries still thought it was in storage. This is where Jaime finds the bike, by accident, trying to look for his uncle's "misplaced" bike.

Jenny Kord is still a thorn in Victoria's side, not only concerned with the questionable ethics of Victoria's research, but preserving her father's legacy before Victoria destroys all evidence of it. Jenny knows of the scarab/bike, but has been prohibited in knowing it's location and status. So She's forced to go undercover as a presenter/cameraperson (This will make more sense when I show her design) at the racing events to try and get evidence on where the bike is being held, which is definitely easier when you have control of many cameras.

I made this au before the movie came out, and when I finally saw it, I realised the plot actually lined up pretty well already -which is convenient. The only thing I had to change was the inclusion of Jenny (cuz I knew nothing about her before the movie came out), and adding more detail to the antagonists. I love Jenny's design in this au (soon, I will release the pictures) cuz I had total free reign and a cyber-punk motorbike racing aesthetic to base it off. Also, she rides a bike in the movie too so I can actually base her bike off of the pre-existing one.

#my art #blue beetle #jaime reyes #khaji da #au #jenny kord #dc #dc comics #ted kord #rudy reyes #victoria kord #bike au #motorbike #i'm not kidding when i say i have many aus with blue beetle #its one of those things that is so easy to create aus with because of its simple foundation and endless possibilities #maybe one day you'll see more aus #but then again I could disappear for a year #who knows uwu

The contradictions of China-bashing in the United States begin with how often it is flat-out untrue.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the “Chinese spy” balloon that President Joe Biden shot down with immense patriotic fanfare in February did not in fact transmit pictures or anything else to China.

White House economists have been trying to excuse persistent US inflation saying it is a global problem and inflation is worse elsewhere in the world. China’s inflation rate is 0.7% year on year.

Financial media outlets stress how China’s GDP growth rate is lower than it used to be. China now estimates that its 2023 GDP growth will be 5-5.5%. Estimates for the US GDP growth rate in 2023, meanwhile, vacillate around 1-2%.

China-bashing has intensified into denial and self-delusion – it is akin to pretending that the United States did not lose wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and more.

The BRICS coalition (China and its allies) now has a significantly larger global economic footprint (higher total GDP) than the Group of Seven (the United States and its allies).

China is outgrowing the rest of the world in research and development expenditures.

The American empire (like its foundation, American capitalism) is not the dominating global force it once was right after World War II. The empire and the economy have shrunk in size, power and influence considerably since then. And they continue to do so.

Putting that genie back into the bottle is a battle against history that the United States is not likely to win.

The Russia delusion

Denial and self-delusion about the changing world economy have led to major strategic mistakes. US leaders predicted before and shortly after February 2022, when the Ukraine war began, for example, that Russia’s economy would crash from the effects of the “greatest of all sanctions,” led by the United States. Some US leaders still believe that the crash will take place (publicly, if not privately) despite there being no such indication.

Such predictions badly miscalculated the economic strength and potential of Russia’s allies in the BRICS. Led by China and India, the BRICS nations responded to Russia’s need for buyers of its oil and gas.

The United States made its European allies cut off purchasing Russian oil and gas as part of the sanctions war against the Kremlin over Ukraine. However, US pressure tactics used on China, India, and many other nations (inside and outside BRICS) likewise to stop buying Russian exports failed. They not only purchased oil and gas from Russia but then also re-exported some of it to European nations.

World power configurations had followed the changes in the world economy at the expense of the US position.

The military delusion

War games with allies, threats from US officials, and US warships off China’s coast may delude some to imagine that these moves intimidate China. The reality is that the military disparity between China and the United States is smaller now than it has ever been in modern China’s history.

China’s military alliances are the strongest they have ever been. Intimidation that did not work from the time of the Korean War and since then will certainly not be effective now.

Former president Donald Trump’s tariff and trade wars were meang, US officials said, to persuade China to change its “authoritarian” economic system. If so, that aim was not achieved. The United States simply lacks the power to force the matter.

American polls suggest that media outlets have been successful in a) portraying China’s advances economically and technologically as a threat, and b) using that threat to lobby against regulations of US high-tech industries.

The tech delusion

Of course, business opposition to government regulation predates China’s emergence. However, encouraging hostility toward China provides convenient additional cover for all sorts of business interests.

China’s technological challenge flows from and depends on a massive educational effort based on training far more STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students than the United States does. Yet US business does not support paying taxes to fund education equivalently.

The reporting by the media on this issue rarely covers that obvious contradiction and politicians mostly avoid it as dangerous to their electoral prospects.

Scapegoating China joins with scapegoating immigrants, BIPOCs (black and Indigenous people of color), and many of the other usual targets.

The broader decline of the US empire and capitalist economic system confronts the nation with the stark question: Whose standard of living will bear the burden of the impact of this decline? The answer to that question has been crystal clear: The US government will pursue austerity policies (cut vital public services) and will allow price inflation and then rising interest rates that reduce living standards and jobs.

Coming on top of 2020’s combined economic crash and Covid-19 pandemic, the middle- and-lower-income majority have so far borne most of the cost of the United States’ decline. That has been the pattern followed by declining empires throughout human history: Those who control wealth and power are best positioned to offload the costs of decline on to the general population.

The real sufferings of that population cause vulnerability to the political agendas of demagogues. They offer scapegoats to offset popular upset, bitterness and anger.

Leading capitalists and the politicians they own welcome or tolerate scapegoating as a distraction from those leaders’ responsibilities for mass suffering. Demagogic leaders scapegoat old and new targets: immigrants, BIPOCs, women, socialists, liberals, minorities of various kinds, and foreign threats.

The scapegoating usually does little more than hurt its intended victims. Its failure to solve any real problem keeps that problem alive and available for demagogues to exploit at a later stage (at least until scapegoating’s victims resist enough to end it).

The contradictions of scapegoating include the dangerous risk that it overflows its original purposes and causes capitalism more problems than it relieves.

If anti-immigrant agitation actually slows or stops immigration (as has happened recently in the United States), domestic labor shortages may appear or worsen, which may drive up wages, and thereby hurt profits.

If racism similarly leads to disruptive civil disturbances (as has happened recently in France), profits may be depressed.

If China-bashing leads the United States and Beijing to move further against US businesses investing in and trading with China, that could prove very costly to the US economy. That this may happen now is a dangerous consequence of China-bashing.

Working together (briefly)

Because they believed it would be in the US interest, then-president Richard Nixon resumed diplomatic and other relations with Beijing during his 1972 trip to the country. Chinese chairman Mao Zedong, premier Zhou Enlai, and Nixon started a period of economic growth, trade, investment and prosperity for both China and the United States.

The success of that period prompted China to seek to continue it. That same success prompted the United States in recent years to change its attitude and policies. More accurately, that success prompted US political leaders like Trump and Biden to now perceive China as the enemy whose economic development represents a threat. They demonize the Beijing leadership accordingly.

The majority of US mega-corporations disagree. They profited mightily from their access to the Chinese labor force and the rapidly growing Chinese market since the 1980s. That was a large part of what they meant when they celebrated “neoliberal globalization.” A significant part of the US business community, however, wants continued access to China.

The fight inside the United States now pits major parts of the US business community against Biden and his equally “neoconservative” foreign-policy advisers. The outcome of that fight depends on domestic economic conditions, the presidential election campaign, and the political fallout of the Ukraine war as well the ongoing twists and turns of the China-US relations.

The outcome also depends on how the masses of Chinese and US people understand and intervene in relations between these two countries. Will they see through the contradictions of China-bashing to prevent war, seek mutual accommodation, and thereby rebuild a new version of the joint prosperity that existed before Trump and Biden?

Shuri for the Win snippet

It starts with an error message.

More specifically, it starts when Shuri enters her lab early one morning, still half asleep, and attempts to pull up her itinerary for the day, only to blink blearily at- static. On her worktable. From her systems.

She finds herself abruptly awake, and distinctly uneasy.

Attempting to run a diagnostic comes with... disappointingly little information. According to the computer, there isn’t anything wrong with her schedule. No corrupted data, no broken connection between files. Only the error on Shuri’s part, attempting to pull up something that- wasn’t there.

Which could not be right.

From the age of six, she meticulously planned her schedule, cramming in as much time as possible for lab studies and projects around lessons and events - Shuri can handle spontaneous developments just fine, but when Wakanda and the world beyond were not actually in danger from criminal or alien threats, she likes to have everything neatly laid out each day. She could- could not actually recall what had been on the schedule for that day, but if she’d neglected to plan anything in advance, then there should only be an empty file, not an error message.

So.

Her own mistake, or external interference?

A little over two hours later, after combing through her systems with the digital equivalent of a fine-toothed comb and opening up several panels to check physical hardware, Shuri concludes no one has gotten into her lab’s private network to deliver any sort of virus or commit other sabotage. Yet, the error message persists. Assigning an algorithm to search for any other signs of static turns up several: at least one block of time on any given day every two weeks or so, going back over a year. Shuri wracks her brain, but cannot recall anything significant she’d done or attempted to avoid on those dates. The only stand-out which she does remember was a three day visit to New York City, which involved meeting with a Stark Industries liaison, checking in with the Wakandan representatives assigned to the United Nations, and- and-

-and something.

Upon realizing she can’t recall what else happened on that trip, Shuri pulls up memory files downloaded from her kimoyo beads, hastily seeking out the dates in question. No visual footage or audio recordings, unfortunately, but at least the data of her movements remain. Shuri opens a screen with a map of the city, transfers the recorded coordinates, and watches an accelerated accounting of where she went each day. At first, only the official buildings she can remember; then, a large amount of time traveling by foot around the section of the city known as ‘Queens’. Which Shuri does not recall in the slightest.

Her fingers drum against the edge of her worktable. When the simulation ends, she saves the map and painted route, then dismisses everything in order to sit back and stare at her blank screens.

An error in the computer was one thing.

An identical error in her own mind... it left an uneasy twist in her stomach.

At least the benefit of her itinerary being unexpectedly clear meant Shuri could immediately go find someone to ask for help.

---

I've got this plus two more pages up on my Patreon page, behind the paywall for now but scheduled to be available to anyone in a few weeks. Hopefully I jot some more down soon and get a chapter onto AO3, but not until after I make some more progress on my other big fix-it fic projects

#marvel #princess shuri #fix it fan fiction #peter parker #post spider-man no way home #still haven't watched wakanda forever yet #so I'm undecided if this happens before or after its events #or if T'Challa is still alive in this AU #and the whole thing goes differently regardless

Political Barriers to Decarbonization in Brazil: The Persistence of Neoliberalism

After four years of a neoliberal government that dismantled environmental regulations in Brazil, the country is once again transitioning toward a state-led model of development. But entrenched domestic interests may thwart a more sustainable path.

Since Brazil’s redemocratization in 1989, the country has oscillated between neoliberal and more interventionist development models, the latter championed by the governments of the Workers’ Party. Now, during Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s third presidency, the government has initiated a state-led program of “neoindustrialization” aimed at advancing decarbonization efforts. Even though Brazil has several advantages in the transition to a green economy, such as its clean energy matrix and abundance of natural resources, the success of this transition depends on overcoming barriers imposed by two important domestic constituencies: agribusiness producers and impoverished citizens that rely on extractive activities, particularly in the Amazon region. Those groups perceive environmental policies as a threat to their economic interest and livelihoods, respectively, posing significant challenges to the government’s sustainable development efforts. The political barriers to decarbonization in Brazil provide a compelling case study of the challenges that progressive governments in Latin America face when attempting to pursue policy directions that run counter to the entrenched interests of powerful economic groups. Brazil’s circumstances also underscore the importance of implementing policies that provide alternatives and compensation to the poorest citizens to keep the forest standing.

For the past three and a half decades, Brazil has alternated between neoliberal and state-led developmental models. A significant contrast between these frameworks lies in the role played by the Brazilian Development Bank, commonly referred to as the BNDES. Neoliberal administrations typically have constrained the BNDES’s scope, restricted the amount of subsidized credit it extends, and at times redirected its resources toward downsizing the public sector and facilitating the privatization of state-owned enterprises. By contrast, when the Workers’ Party has been in power, the BNDES has occupied a central position in the Brazilian economy. Under these administrations, the bank has financed development initiatives to address regional inequalities, enhanced access to credit for small and medium-sized enterprises, and funded industrial policies and the global expansion of Brazilian multinational corporations. Consequently, the breadth of BNDES’s operations often serves as a barometer of the policy priorities set by Brazilian administrations.

Now, under Lula’s third administration, the BNDES once again exemplifies the government’s commitment to advancing industrial policies, this time with a specific focus on promoting the country’s green transition. Consistent with this strategic orientation, the bank has announced a program of neoindustrialization intended to reinforce decarbonization initiatives within the Brazilian economy. The BNDES also oversees the management of the Climate Fund (Fundo Clima), which is expected to serve as a critical instrument within Brazil’s national climate change policy framework. This emphasis on environmental considerations is consistent with Lula’s two previous administrations. It reflects the government’s sense that Brazil’s abundant natural resources, clean energy infrastructure, rich mineral deposits, and ecologically significant biomes (such as the Amazon and Cerrado) leave the country uniquely positioned to capitalize on the global transition toward a green economy. It also reflects the political leadership’s decision to place the climate issue at the center of Brazil’s strategy for international engagement.

However, the success of Brazil’s transition to a decarbonized economy and its leadership on climate policies under Lula depend on overcoming at least two significant domestic barriers. The first is posed by an affluent, politically organized, and influential agribusiness sector, which reacts adversely to environmental regulation. The second stems from impoverished populations engaged in extractive activities, especially in the Amazon region, who perceive environmental concerns as a threat to their livelihoods.

Faeries and Iron

Many cultures have long included faeries in their folklore, often portraying them as mystical and ethereal creatures. Faerie lore is full of interesting details, such as their dislike of iron. This strange relationship has given rise to a wide range of theories and interpretations that are firmly based in mythology, symbolism, and cultural values. Many stories and legends from different cultures link faeries' dislike of iron. According to Celtic tradition, iron possessed defensive qualities against faeries and other supernatural beings. Many stories mirror this concept, depicting people using iron objects like horseshoes or nails to ward off faeries or protect themselves from their mischievous ways. The usage of iron as a protective measure highlights the friction between the human and faerie realms, emphasizing the necessity of borders and the strength of concrete, earthy elements against otherworldly forces.

Iron symbolizes the shift from antiquated, magical customs to the emergence of industrialization and technology. Faeries, often associated with nature, magic, and ancient wisdom, embody the magical realm that predated the rise of iron and industry. The invention of iron tools and weapons largely wrought the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. Interpreters interpret this change as a break from the faeries' natural, magical realm, leading to a symbolic struggle between the old and the new. Iron is thought to influence faeries because of its utilitarian and symbolic qualities. Iron is a robust, resilient, and practical metal that stands in stark contrast to the delicate, fleeting character of faeries. This contrast highlights the idea that iron is a grounding factor that can dispel illusions and enchantments related to faerie magic. It is possible to interpret the use of iron in rituals and protective charms as humankind's attempt to exert control over the faeries' fickle and unpredictable nature—a desire to control and contain the unknown. The cultural dislike of iron is a reflection of larger issues of paranoia and interest in the paranormal. Faeries are the embodiment of both danger and enchantment due to their erratic conduct and enigmatic appeal. The employment of iron as a protective tool symbolizes the necessity for humans to control the unpredictable aspects of the supernatural world. By using iron, humans exhibit their control over the unknown and expose themselves to potential threats from faeries and other supernatural entities. Literature and contemporary media continue to explore the connection between faeries and iron, frequently using it as a metaphor for the conflict between tradition and advancement. Tales of faeries often underscore the conflict between holding fast to traditional knowledge and adopting modern technology. Iron, a symbol of industry and modernity, challenges the ageless, mysterious existence of faeries and raises concerns about the impact of development on the natural and magical realms.

Faeries have always fascinated people, and their dislike of iron relates to the human need to make sense of and find a way to balance the mystical and material sides of life. This dynamic is a reflection of the larger human endeavor to strike a balance between innovation and tradition, the material and the immaterial, and the natural and the industrial. We keep investigating the nuances of our relationship with the unknown through these stories, trying to find a balance between the magical and the everyday. Finally, the relationship between faeries and iron has a great deal of cultural meaning and symbolism. It explores themes of progress, safety, and the persistent mystery of the supernatural. It represents the intersection of myth and reality. Looking at this interaction, we can learn more about how people struggle with change and the ever-evolving attraction of the mystical realm.

14 Common Lung Diseases

Introduction

Lung diseases represent some of the most severe health threats globally. The rise of industrialization, environmental pollution, and tobacco usage significantly contribute to the prevalence of these diseases. This article, outlines the most common lung diseases, their symptoms, causes, and treatments.

1. Pneumonia

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other pathogens. It poses a significant risk to the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, and those with chronic conditions but can also affect healthy individuals. Pneumonia can be classified based on the causative agent, such as bacterial pneumonia (e.g., Streptococcus pneumoniae), viral pneumonia (e.g., influenza virus), or fungal pneumonia (e.g., Pneumocystis jirovecii).

Symptoms

Fever

Cough with sputum

Chest pain

Shortness of breath

Fatigue

Sweating and shaking chills

Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (less common)

Diagnosis Diagnosis of pneumonia typically involves a combination of patient history, physical examination, chest X-rays, and sputum cultures. Blood tests may also be conducted to identify the causative agent.

Treatment Depending on the cause, treatments may include:

Antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia.

Antiviral medications for viral pneumonia.

Antifungal therapies for fungal pneumonia. Supportive care such as rest, fluids, and over-the-counter medications to reduce fever and manage pain can also alleviate symptoms. In severe cases, hospitalization may be required to provide intravenous antibiotics, oxygen therapy, or mechanical ventilation.

2. Bronchitis

Bronchitis involves the inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs. It can be acute, often following colds or the flu, or chronic, usually resulting from smoking or long-term exposure to irritants like pollution or dust.

Symptoms

Persistent cough (productive or dry)

Sputum production (clear, white, yellowish-gray, or green)

Fatigue

Shortness of breath

Slight fever and chills

Chest discomfort

Diagnosis Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, where a doctor listens to the patient’s lungs with a stethoscope. Additional tests, such as a chest X-ray, sputum tests, or pulmonary function tests, may be conducted to rule out other conditions like pneumonia or asthma.

Treatment

Acute bronchitis: Symptomatic treatment includes rest, fluids, and over-the-counter pain relievers and cough medications. Inhalers or nebulizers may be prescribed to ease breathing.

Chronic bronchitis: Management may involve bronchodilators, steroids, and pulmonary rehabilitation. Smoking cessation and avoiding lung irritants are crucial for treatment.

3. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

COPD is a progressive, irreversible disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways, primarily due to smoking, environmental pollutants, or long-term exposure to respiratory irritants. COPD includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, conditions that often coexist and lead to airflow obstruction.

Symptoms

Chronic cough

Sputum production

Shortness of breath, especially during physical activities

Wheezing

Chest tightness

Frequent respiratory infections

Fatigue

Unintended weight loss (in advanced stages)

Diagnosis COPD is diagnosed through a combination of patient history, physical examination, and spirometry, a test that measures the amount of air a person can exhale and how quickly they can do so. Chest X-rays, CT scans, and arterial blood gas analysis may also be used.

Prevention and Treatment Preventive measures include:

Smoking cessation

Vaccinations (influenza and pneumococcal vaccines)

Reducing exposure to lung irritants

Treatments involves;

Bronchodilators to relax the muscles around the airways

Inhaled steroids to reduce airway inflammation

Pulmonary rehabilitation programs

Oxygen therapy for severe cases

Surgery (e.g., lung volume reduction surgery or lung transplant) in advanced cases

4. Lung Cancer

Lung cancer involves the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells in the lung tissues. Major risk factors include smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke, exposure to carcinogens (e.g., asbestos, radon), and genetic predisposition.

Types

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC): Often linked to heavy smoking, SCLC is aggressive and spreads quickly.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): More common and includes subtypes such as adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.

Symptoms

Persistent cough

Chest pain

Weight loss

Hemoptysis (coughing up blood)

Shortness of breath

Hoarseness

Bone pain (in advanced stages)

Headache (if cancer spreads to the brain)

Diagnosis Diagnosis involves imaging tests (chest X-rays, CT scans, PET scans), sputum cytology, and tissue biopsy. Molecular testing may be done to identify specific genetic mutations that can be targeted with specific treatments.

Treatment

Surgery to remove the tumor or part of the lung

Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells

Radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors

Targeted drug therapies to attack specific genetic changes in cancer cells

Immunotherapy to help the immune system fight cancer

5. Pleurisy

Pleurisy, or pleuritis, is the inflammation of the pleura, the tissue lining the lungs and chest cavity. It can be caused by infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal), injuries, autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis), or other underlying conditions.

Symptoms

Sharp, stabbing chest pain that worsens with breathing, coughing, or sneezing

United Kingdom, Japan and Italy sign treaty for the Global Air Combat Program (GCAP)

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/14/2023 - 08:39am Military

The United Kingdom, Italy and Japan have signed an international treaty for a Global Combat Air Program (GCAP) that aims to develop an innovative stealth fighter with supersonic capability and equipped with state-of-the-art technology.

The treaty marks a key stage of the historic Global Air Combat Program (GCAP) and the headquarters of the program will be based in Great Britain.

This combat aircraft, which is expected to fly to the skies by 2035, aims to take advantage of next-generation technologies and become one of the most advanced, interoperable, adaptable and connected fighters in the world in service worldwide. The program is expected to create highly qualified jobs in the United Kingdom and partner countries over the next decade and beyond.

The supersonic stealth jet will feature a powerful radar that can provide 10,000 times more data than current systems, providing an advantage in victory in battles.

In the United Kingdom, the effort is being led by BAE Systems, in close partnership with Rolls-Royce, Leonardo UK and MBDA UK – as well as hundreds of supply chain companies across the country. Together, they are working closely with leading companies in Japan (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric Corp, IHI Corp, Avio Aero) and Italy (Leonardo) to progress in the design and development of this aircraft.

Despite the current limitation to the three countries, there is speculation about Saudi Arabia's accession in the future, although the Japanese government allegedly opposes the candidacy of the Gulf monarchy. GCAP is among several sixth-generation fighter programs in the West. In Europe, the Future Combat Aircraft System (FCAS) effort, involving France, Germany, Spain and potential newcomers such as Sweden, aims to select a fighter project by 2025. The GCAP partnership seems to be ahead of the FCAS, with the United States planning to grant a project for its Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter by next year.

The treaty confirmed that the United Kingdom will host the joint headquarters of the GCAP government, supporting hundreds of jobs in the United Kingdom and working with Japanese and Italian colleagues. The first CEO will come from Japan. The HQ will be responsible for providing vital military capacity, strengthening the industrial air combat capacity of each country and obtaining a good cost-benefit ratio.

Supporting the Prime Minister's priority of growing the economy, there are already about 3,000 people in the main combat air centers throughout the United Kingdom, including the southwest and northwest of England and Edinburgh, with almost 600 contracted organizations across the country, including SMEs and academic institutions.

In air combat, the UK Ministry of Defense has spent £2 billion in the UK over the past 5 years on technology, creating skills and capabilities - with an additional £600 million from the industry - to ensure that the UK is ready to boost this program.

A crucial program for the future of stability in the Euro-Atlantic, the Indo-Pacific and broader global security, GCAP is a strong example of the UK's global leadership in developing the next-generation military capacity to deter and defeat threats to the UK and our allies.

It is another demonstration of our commitment to Indo-Pacific security, after the deployment of the Royal Navy's Carrier Strike Group in 2021, with a new deployment coming in 2025, as well as the Navy maintaining a persistent presence in the region through HMS Spey and HMSTamar.

Separately, a new joint business construction will be based in the United Kingdom, with a significant global presence. This industrial counterpart of the government organization will oversee the support and timely delivery of the program, including the date of entry into service of the combat aircraft in 2035 - known as Tempest in the United Kingdom. The first leader of joint business construction will be from Italy.

This collaborative approach is indicative of the innovative international program.

GCAP will attract investments in research and development in digital design and advanced manufacturing processes, providing opportunities for our next generation of highly qualified engineers and technicians.

How AI is Revolutionizing Fraud Detection and Prevention in Financial Services

Fraud is a persistent challenge in the financial services industry, constantly evolving as fraudsters find new ways to exploit weaknesses. Over the years, traditional fraud detection systems have relied heavily on static rules and manual reviews. While these methods worked to some extent, they often resulted in delayed detection, high false positives, and resource-intensive investigations. However, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought a new level of sophistication to fraud detection and prevention. Having observed this transformation up close, I can confidently say that AI is reshaping how financial institutions combat fraud by enabling faster detection, reducing false positives, and enhancing overall security.

Real-Time Anomaly Detection

One of AI’s most valuable contributions to fraud detection is its ability to analyze vast volumes of transactions in real time and identify anomalies that could indicate fraudulent activity. Traditional systems might flag a suspicious transaction based on static thresholds, but AI goes beyond that by learning what typical behavior looks like for individual users. This means that AI can detect when something deviates from the norm, even if it wouldn’t be caught by a basic rule.

For instance, if a customer typically makes small transactions in a specific geographic region and suddenly there’s a large withdrawal from a different country, AI can instantly flag that transaction for review. What’s powerful about this approach is that it allows for real-time action, potentially preventing fraud before any significant damage is done.

Machine Learning for Pattern Recognition

Machine learning, a subset of AI, plays a crucial role in improving fraud detection over time. Unlike traditional rule-based systems, which need constant manual updates, machine learning models can learn from data and adapt automatically as new fraud patterns emerge. This adaptability is particularly important in the financial industry, where fraud tactics change frequently.

By analyzing historical data and identifying subtle patterns, machine learning models can predict future fraudulent behavior. The more data these models are fed, the better they become at distinguishing between legitimate transactions and potential fraud. This continuous improvement makes AI a far more effective tool than older methods that can’t keep up with the pace of change.

AI-Powered Identity Verification

Identity theft is one of the most common forms of fraud in financial services, making robust identity verification crucial. AI has greatly enhanced the accuracy and speed of this process by leveraging biometric data. Facial recognition, voice recognition, and even behavioral biometrics, such as how a user types or swipes on a device, can be analyzed by AI to confirm identity.

I’ve seen banks implement AI-driven identity verification systems that drastically reduce the time it takes to onboard new customers while maintaining high levels of security. These systems are faster and more reliable, making it harder for fraudsters to gain unauthorized access to accounts.

Reducing False Positives

False positives—legitimate transactions that are incorrectly flagged as fraudulent—are a major pain point for both financial institutions and customers. High false positive rates can lead to customer dissatisfaction, increased operational costs, and wasted time for fraud investigation teams.

AI helps reduce false positives by using advanced algorithms to better understand the context of a transaction. For example, rather than flagging all high-value transactions as suspicious, AI considers additional factors like transaction history, location, and device used. By making more accurate decisions, AI reduces unnecessary disruptions for customers while allowing fraud teams to focus on real threats.

Natural Language Processing in Fraud Detection

Natural Language Processing (NLP) allows AI to analyze unstructured data, such as emails, chat messages, and even social media posts, to identify potential fraud indicators. This capability is especially useful in detecting phishing attempts and social engineering attacks, where fraudsters trick victims into sharing sensitive information.

Financial institutions can use NLP-powered AI to scan large volumes of text-based communication and flag suspicious content for further review. This proactive approach helps prevent fraud before it escalates, adding another layer of defense to the institution’s security framework.

Enhancing Regulatory Compliance

Compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and other financial crime prevention laws is a significant responsibility for financial institutions. AI assists in this area by automating transaction monitoring, flagging suspicious activities, and generating reports required by regulators.

What makes AI particularly effective in ensuring compliance is its ability to process large datasets quickly and accurately. It can identify complex patterns of money laundering that might be missed by human analysts. Additionally, AI systems can be programmed to keep up with changing regulatory requirements, ensuring that institutions remain compliant without the need for constant manual updates.

AI in Action: A Real-World Example

A great example of AI-driven fraud prevention can be seen in the implementation of advanced AI systems by leading banks. One large financial institution I worked with adopted an AI-powered fraud detection platform that significantly improved its fraud response times. The system was capable of analyzing millions of transactions daily, identifying suspicious patterns in real time, and alerting investigators only when necessary.

This resulted in a 30% reduction in false positives and a faster resolution time for genuine fraud cases. The bank enhanced its security and improved customer experience by minimizing unnecessary disruptions. This kind of success story highlights the real impact AI can have when properly implemented.

Future Trends in AI-Powered Fraud Detection

As AI continues to advance, financial institutions are exploring even more sophisticated applications for fraud prevention. Some emerging trends include:

Explainable AI: Ensuring that AI decisions are transparent and understandable, which is crucial for regulatory compliance and building trust.

Federated Learning: Allowing different institutions to collaborate and share insights without exposing sensitive data, which can improve fraud detection capabilities across the industry.

AI for Synthetic Fraud Detection: As fraudsters start using AI to create synthetic identities and deepfakes, institutions are developing AI solutions specifically to counter these threats.

AI Applications in Fraud Prevention

Real-time anomaly detection for quick action.

Machine learning to adapt to new fraud patterns.

AI-driven identity verification using biometrics.

Reducing false positives for better customer experience.

Enhancing regulatory compliance with automated monitoring.

In Conclusion

AI is fundamentally changing the way financial institutions approach fraud detection and prevention. By offering real-time analysis, adaptive learning, enhanced identity verification, and reduced false positives, AI is making it easier for banks and other financial firms to stay one step ahead of fraudsters. Institutions that embrace AI technology are better equipped to handle current threats and prepared for the future of financial security. In today’s fast-paced financial world, leveraging AI isn’t just an advantage—it’s becoming a necessity.

Pharmaceutical Industry Wastewater: Challenges for Disposal

The pharmaceutical industry is indispensable to modern healthcare, providing life-saving medicines and treatments. However, its operations often produce complex wastewater streams laden with hazardous chemicals and contaminants. Improper disposal of pharmaceutical wastewater can have dire environmental and public health consequences. Addressing these challenges requires advanced wastewater management strategies that prioritize safety and sustainability.

Understanding the Composition of Pharmaceutical Wastewater

Pharmaceutical wastewater is unique due to its complex and hazardous components. Common contaminants include:

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs): Residues from manufacturing processes that persist in the environment.

Organic and Inorganic Solvents: Used during synthesis and cleaning stages.

Heavy Metals: Byproducts from catalysts and raw materials.

High COD and BOD Levels: Indicating significant organic pollutant loads.

High Amount of Chlorinated Compounds and TDS: These contribute to toxicity and salinity, making treatment more challenging.

Even trace levels of these substances can pose long-term risks to ecosystems and human health, making effective treatment essential.

Risks of Improper Pharmaceutical Wastewater Disposal

If not managed properly, pharmaceutical wastewater can lead to:

Water Source Contamination: APIs and other pollutants can leach into rivers, lakes, and groundwater, affecting aquatic ecosystems and potentially entering drinking water supplies.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): Incomplete treatment of antibiotics and similar substances can accelerate the spread of AMR, a major global health threat.

Ecosystem Disruption: Persistent contaminants can bioaccumulate in the food chain, harming wildlife and human populations.

Challenges in Treating Pharmaceutical Wastewater

Pharmaceutical effluents are among the most difficult to treat due to:

Complex Effluent Composition: High variability in wastewater from different production stages.

Emerging Contaminants: APIs, endocrine disruptors, and other micro-pollutants often evade conventional treatment methods.

Regulatory Demands: Adhering to increasingly stringent global and local discharge limits requires constant innovation.

Advanced Treatment Solutions for Safe Disposal

To address these challenges, industries can adopt advanced wastewater treatment technologies:

Pre-Treatment Processes: Filtration, pH adjustment, and oil separation to reduce contaminant loads.

Biological Treatment Systems: Anaerobic and aerobic processes degrade biodegradable organics efficiently.

Activated Carbon Adsorption: Highly effective in removing APIs and trace contaminants.

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs): Technologies like ozone treatment, UV irradiation, and hydrogen peroxide to break down persistent organic pollutants.

Membrane Filtration : Reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration effectively separate clean water from contaminants.
