I'm working on a monster apocalypse story. I've outlined how the monsters emerged and spread throughout the world, as well as the abilities some humans developed to combat them: physical, mental, and therapeutic powers. I also have ideas about the strength and intelligence of the monsters, including some rare unranked ones. The story includes four main powers - Companies, Government, Agencies, and Hunters. However, I'm stuck on how these powers will fight the monsters, how society will evolve, and how to allocate power among the four main groups, especially considering the presence of illegal agencies and hunters.

There's a few slightly goofy things here. Don't take this too harshly, and I suspect this is a translation issue, but “therapeutic,” is probably not the term you wanted. It sounds like, “I hunt monsters through the power of unlicensed chiropractic adjustments.” You may have meant pharmacological powers, as in characters who are chemically enhanced via drugs.

There's also a little bit a weirdness in terminology here, there's three categories of powers (physical, mental, and whatever augmentation you meant), and there's also four categories of powers.

There's a very basic rule of writing, where you don't want to reuse the same word multiple times in a sentence. Except, that also extrapolates out to larger contexts like this. Now, a “power,” can refer to anything from electrical energy, a paranormal ability, or a faction, up to deities. But, if you're going to use a term like this (at least in your world building) you probably want to use it in one specific way. So, for example, you might want to say characters have three broad categories of abilities, and belong to one of four factions.

This kind of word choice can also be very helpful for establishing tone. Consider for a moment how differently it reads if you have a setting “where characters are augmented in different ways, and then work for various powers in their world,” versus one “where characters gain various supernatural abilities and then work for various conspiracies.” Not much changed in the text itself, but the kind of world you're likely to build from that core statement will be radically different.

Now, using the same terms for both is a viable choice, and also has implications. Primarily that those powers derive directly from the powers your characters work for. In that case you would probably want to have a direct 1:1 mapping of abilities to factions. For example, the corporations augment characters (cybernetically, pharmaceutically, or however else), the agencies train psychic powers, the governments provide better tech and support, while the hunters... do something.

Another problem I see up front is a lack of specificity. There are over 200 governments in the world today, with radically different philosophies and approaches to problem solving. So, lumping all of them together under a single banner is peculiar.

Governments depend to be distinct entities from one another, (at least if we're ignoring the specific edge case of puppet governments.) How they interact with one another will reflect their shared and exclusive history with one another. This creates a complex and varied tapestry that is an absolute goldmine for worldbuilding. International relations shapes the world in a way few other things can compete with.

Similarly, “companies,” is incredibly vague. I can make some educated guesses, but it doesn't really tell me anything. Are these private mercenary bands, the military remnants of fallen nations, megacorporations, or something entirely different? Again, the real question you'd need to ask yourself is, “who are these companies?” They're not a monolithic, unified force. In the world before, they were probably in direct competition with each other, and that may have persisted into the apocalypse. Depending on the nature of the story you're trying to tell, is this going to be another case where you have some factions trying to ally with, or use the monsters for themselves? By, “therapeutic,” do you mean that some of these corporations are trying to graft monster parts onto their own loyal subjects, or looking for means to mind control the monsters, turning them into a domesticated combat force, loyal to them?

Agencies is probably one of the hardest to lock down, because that can refer to either a private or public organization. So this is either part of the companies or part of the governments. Unless the intent was to indicate that these were some kind of separate group, like a foundation, or even a guild.

I'm assuming with hunters, you mean freelance hunters. Because, anyone hunting monsters for any of the above groups could be considered, “a hunter,” but this one isn't a big deal.

So what do you do? You probably want to start with the specifics. You might have a general thought, like what you're describing at the top, but ultimately, that's a very brief stepping stone. You'd sketch that out, and then immediately flip over to detailing the various factions and kinds of characters in more depth. You don't necessarily need to have much detail when you're getting started with your story, but you should be able to, at least, name off most of the major factions that you know are important, and how they interact (with each other, and also with the story.)

A lot of world building lives or dies on how well your various factions interact with each other to create a credible gestalt.

You know you saying how 'libfems' in your country don't even bother translating English terms reminds me of how non American(or from any English speaking country) gender folks, and in general chronically online people keep using English(or from some other countries sometimes, Japan mainly if they're anime fans) slurs to describe themselves.

Recently I had a converstation with such a person; she kept claiming how all these slurs(from English speaking countries, and few from Japan---yeah, she's into anime) have been reclaimed and are no longer bad words(without even explaining why and withourlt stating their new meanings if according to her they don't have a bad meaning any more), and what pissed me off is how she's neither Japanese nor from an English speaking country, plus of course the dismissal of all people that are beyond distressed with those slurs. And that's the thing that gets to me, like while I dislike people that call themselves slurs at the very least it's their language, but how dare people who don't speak that language natively call themselves those slurs and especially cause they'd never use their countrie's versions. I once heard someone state how they don't know any other word to describe themself with other than the q-slur, they said it's easier; and like why doesn't any such word in their own country describe them. I just...it pisses me off so much.

And of course as you said, Americans refuse to accept that it's their fault that these chronically online 'activists' are using their language and don't bother translating cause they *know* it's American only.

---yeah, she's into anime

Most expected twist ever 🤡 Seriously for how self-obsessed these bozos are you'd think they'd avoid acting like clones of each other.

There is nothing i find more embarrassing than hearing people around me so captured by American culture they'll casually use buzzwords like "queer" or "wokism". It's like you can never escape the internet anymore. I suppose you can't control how language evolves (and it goes both ways, nothing cringier than seeing someone call feminine lesbians "femme" for instance), but boy is it annoying, doubly so when you know the word is a slur in English.

At the same time, non English native speakers simply don't have any personal aversion to "queer" due to it never being used around them, most of them only came into contact with the "positive" use of the word online in the last ten years, so i get why it happens and i wouldn't blame them first. I would definitely blame first the people who knew FULL WELL the weight that word has and intentionally spread it anyways. In fact i think these "queer" proponents deliberately encouraged the use of the term worldwide because having it show up internationally strengthens their position - it's not just an American quirk, it's an "international movement". Then they get to say identity politics are "western" - they're not! They're an American invention, popularised on American websites, clearly evolved from American views on religion/sex roles/community politics/etc., as well as the American marketing concept of segmentisation. Gender ideology developped thanks to the lobbying of American pharmaceutical giants like Abbvie, and is being promoted by American media companies like Netflix. Consulting agencies like Blackrock offer "inclusivity training" with that American perspective in mind to foreign govermental agencies as well as private companies. Etc etc.

It was truly inspiring to witness the seamless synergy among the crew members, from the lighting technicians to the set designers. Each person played a crucial role in capturing the essence of the campaign, and their collective effort was instrumental in the project's success.

How were you able to capture such authentic expressions and moments during the shoot?

For me, it's all about creating a relaxed and positive atmosphere on set. Whether I'm working with adults or children, building rapport and establishing trust is essential. When it comes to scenes involving kids, I make sure to create a playful environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. Breaking down barriers and engaging with them on a personal level allows for genuine reactions that truly resonate with the campaign's message. Patience and flexibility are also key; allowing for spontaneity and embracing unexpected moments often leads to capturing raw emotions and authentic interactions that breathe life into the final product.

Draghi report sets out new recommendations for EU pharmaceuticals and biotechnology

The European Commission’s comprehensive report on the future of European competitiveness identifies critical challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry, as well as a number of other sectors across Europe, Osborne Clarke reports.

Mario Draghi, former president of the European Central Bank and former Prime Minister of Italy, outlined in his report strategies to boost growth, innovation and regulatory compliance in the European Union.

For pharmaceutical, biotech, regulatory and legal executives, the implications of Draghi’s report are significant, particularly in the areas of innovation, compliance and market competitiveness.

Innovation gap and digital transformation

The Commission report emphasises the widening innovation gap between the EU and other global economies, notably the US and China. European pharmaceutical companies, although leaders in drug discovery and development, face structural challenges in translating innovation into commercial success.

In particular, the report notes that while European pharma and biotech companies continue to invest heavily in research and development, they are being outpaced by their US and Asian counterparts, who are adopting advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and digital health solutions more quickly and seamlessly.

For pharmaceutical companies, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity. For example, the integration of artificial intelligence can facilitate drug discovery, optimise clinical trials and improve patient outcomes.

The report emphasises that combination products that bring together medical devices, drugs and digital technologies such as AI are a key growth area. This echoes the proposed EU legislative reform, which includes the first legal definitions of combination products in the EU, looking at complex combinations and products used exclusively with medical devices. Companies that invest in drug development using artificial intelligence and personalised medicine may have a better chance of gaining a competitive advantage over the next decade, Draghi said in the report.

Regulatory compliance and the drive for harmonisation

One of the most pressing challenges identified in the Commission’s report is the fragmentation of the regulatory framework in the EU. The lack of regulatory harmonisation across member states creates significant obstacles for pharmaceutical companies, especially those conducting clinical trials in different countries or seeking to bring new products to market across the EU.

Pharmaceutical companies should closely monitor upcoming changes to the EU regulatory framework and be prepared for a more streamlined but stringent regulatory environment. The Commission is expected to place greater emphasis on data transparency, safety and post-marketing surveillance, which will have a direct impact on the lifecycle of pharmaceutical products from development to post-launch monitoring.

Legal and regulatory departments may want to prioritise compliance strategies that take into account the changing rules for clinical trials, drug approvals and market surveillance.

Marketing authorisations

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is central to the approval processes for pharmaceuticals, including biosimilars, advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) and generics. The report highlights that centralised marketing authorisation applications submitted through the EMA provide a simplified approach to market entry in EU member states.

For complex medicines such as ATMPs, biosimilars and other innovative therapies, it is recommended to engage with regulators at an early stage of development. This can ensure compliance with clinical trial requirements and provide opportunities for faster authorisation.

The report highlights the importance of adaptive pathways, conditional marketing approvals, and early dialogue with regulators.

Adoption of AI and digital health solutions

Artificial intelligence and digital health technologies are emerging as key drivers of innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. From optimising supply chains to improving clinical trial design and patient monitoring, AI is revolutionising the way pharmaceutical companies operate. The report highlights that despite progress, European pharmaceutical companies are lagging behind non-EU countries in incorporating AI into their core business.

Investments in digital health technologies such as AI-based research, real world evidence (RWE) integration and advanced patient engagement tools are becoming increasingly significant. These technologies have the potential to improve operational efficiency and meet regulatory demands for greater data transparency and patient-centred care.

At the same time, the categorisation of some AI systems as high risk under the new EU AI law creates significant hurdles for companies providing or implementing these systems.

Green transition in pharmaceuticals

Environmental sustainability is another area of focus in the Draghi report, especially in relation to the European Green Deal programme. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, like other sectors, are expected to reduce their environmental footprint by adopting greener production processes and reducing waste. This includes using energy more efficiently in production, reducing emissions from transport and minimising the use of hazardous chemicals.

For pharmaceutical companies, these changes present both regulatory and operational challenges. Companies should anticipate stricter environmental regulations, which may include mandatory reporting of carbon emissions and sustainability practices. Those companies that invest early in green technologies and sustainable practices are more likely to benefit from government funding and regulatory incentives.

Osborne Clarke Commentary

The Draghi report provides important insights for pharmaceutical and biotech companies operating in the EU.

It highlights significant challenges such as the innovation gap with global competitors and the fragmented regulatory landscape across EU member states. The report stresses the importance of integrating advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and digital health solutions, to enhance drug discovery, optimise clinical trials and improve patient outcomes. It also points to the potential benefits of investing in AI-enabled drug development and personalised medicine, which can provide a competitive advantage. This comes at a time when the EU’s new AI regulation is having a huge impact on European healthcare, including where low-risk AI is concerned.

Furthermore, the report emphasises the need for companies to stay ahead of regulatory changes, especially those related to data transparency, security and post-marketing controls.

The Commission also emphasises the importance of sustainable practices in line with the European Green Deal, urging companies to adopt greener production processes and reduce their environmental impact. This includes using energy efficiently, reducing emissions and minimising the use of hazardous chemicals. Companies that actively invest in sustainable technologies can take advantage of public funding opportunities and regulatory incentives.

As the EU attempts to move towards regulatory harmonisation, it is critical for pharmaceutical and biotech companies to ensure that their compliance systems are adaptable to changing regulations. By focusing on these strategic areas, companies will be better able to navigate the challenges and capitalise on the opportunities presented by the changing European landscape.

Genomics and Personalized Medicine: Thanks to advances in genomic research, doctors can now analyze a person’s genetic makeup to predict their susceptibility to age-related diseases. This allows for the creation of personalized treatment plans that can include medications, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments specifically designed to address an individual's unique genetic risks.

Regenerative Medicine: Stem cell therapy and tissue engineering are rapidly evolving fields that play a crucial role in longevity medicine. These technologies aim to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs, effectively slowing down the aging process at the cellular level.

Advanced Diagnostics: New diagnostic tools allow for earlier detection of diseases, which is critical for longevity. Biomarkers for aging, such as telomere length and mitochondrial function, can provide insight into a person’s biological age — often distinct from their chronological age — and help guide preventative treatments.

Lifestyle Interventions: Diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management are all critical factors in longevity medicine. Many of these practices have been scientifically shown to influence biological markers of aging. For example, caloric restriction and intermittent fasting are both associated with improved longevity in various studies.

RNA-based vaccines have better immunogenicity, higher efficiency, and require short production time. The key factors driving the market growth include the growing academic and industrial interest in mRNA technology, the advantages of mRNA vaccines, and increasing funding for research.

Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of the mRNA Synthesis Raw Materials Market

The COVID-19 pandemic created new opportunities for mRNA technology platforms with the introduction and widespread use of vaccines. Government agencies from several nations, research institutions, and numerous biotech and pharmaceutical companies are focusing on efficient and quick methods for the rapid detection of COVID-19. mRNA vaccines are a safe and efficient method for preventing COVID-19. In addition, the advantages associated with the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have sparked the attention of pharmaceutical businesses in delivering vaccines swiftly across the globe.

The National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases and Moderna, Inc. mutually developed the mRNA-1273 (NIAID) in March 2020. It shows 94.1% efficacy in symptomatic prevention from COVID-19 and in December 2020, received emergency use authorization from the US Food & Drug Administration (US FDA) for widespread immunization of people. As a result, the usage of mRNA vaccines increased exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recently, RNA centers have been established at numerous institutions to promote therapeutic uses of RNA, particularly in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA. These facilities include the Yale Center for RNA Science and Medicine, the RNA Institute at the University of Albany, the State University of New York, and the RNA Therapeutic Institute at the University of Massachusetts in the United States. Additionally, university spin-off businesses funded by significant venture capital infusions such as Argos Medicines, Factor Bioscience, CureVac, Ethris, BioNTech, Moderna, eTheRNA, and Onkaido have advanced the preclinical and clinical development of mRNA-based therapeutics. Hence, growing academic and industrial interest in mRNA technology is anticipated to increase the need for mRNA synthesis raw materials, thereby boosting market growth.

Furthermore, the simplicity to manufacture the mRNA vaccine is a key reason for the development of these vaccines. For instance, it is essential for DNA to enter the nucleus, and then it can be transcribed into mRNA. However, mRNA does not need to enter the nucleus to function as it initiates protein translation in the cytoplasm. Hence, this process makes the mRNA vaccine more efficient and simple to manufacture. In contrast to viral vectors and DNA, mRNAs do not insert into the genome but express the encoded protein instantaneously. Typical cellular processes can eliminate the mRNA since it doesn’t integrate into the host genome, thus eliminating any chance of infection or insertion mutation. In addition, the In Vitro Transcription (IVT) process readily synthesizes mRNA. The process is relatively inexpensive and can be quickly applied to a variety of therapies. Such advantages of mRNA vaccines are anticipated to drive the market during the study period.

Moreover, several operating players in the market and various research institutes are receiving funding for the development of novel mRNA therapeutics. For instance, in October 2022, the University of Columbia received USD 11.1 million in funding from the government of Canada to advance the mRNA vaccine technology. This funding aims to improve their efficacy, reduce the potential side effects of vaccines, and allow for a smaller vaccine dosage. Similarly, in December 2022, ExPLoRNA Therapeutics received USD 813,578 in funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to further develop its mRNA technology. Therefore, rising funding for research is expected to increase the need for mRNA synthesis raw materials and fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

Additionally, the growing prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases is increasing the therapeutic application of mRNA technology. For instance, according to WHO, cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, causing almost one in six deaths, while cardiovascular diseases lead to an estimated 17.9 million deaths each year. In addition, according to WHO, about 10 million people worldwide contracted tuberculosis in 2020 (1.1 million children, 5.6 million men, & 3.3 million women). Hence, scientists in industries and universities worldwide are finding novel and innovative ways to develop therapeutics using mRNA technology to prevent and treat disease. For instance, researchers at Penn Medicine are using the mRNA platform to create vaccines for several conditions such as cancer, treatment for food and environmental allergies, genetic diseases, and heart attack and stroke, among others.

The Role of Clinical Trials in Drug Development: From Concept to Approval

The journey of a new drug from concept to market approval is a complex and rigorous process, with clinical trials as a critical phase in this pathway. Clinical trials are essential for determining new pharmaceuticals' safety, efficacy, and optimal dosing. They provide the scientific evidence necessary for regulatory approval and ensure that new treatments are safe and effective for patient use. The Importance of Clinical Trials Clinical trials are the backbone of modern medicine, crucial in developing new treatments and therapies. These trials are meticulously designed studies that test the effects of new drugs or treatments on human health. They are vital in translating scientific discoveries into tangible health benefits. Bringing new medicines to market without clinical trials would be impossible, as they provide the necessary data to support the drug’s safety and efficacy. In addition to their role in drug development, clinical trials contribute to the broader understanding of diseases and conditions. They help to identify new biomarkers, understand disease progression, and even discover new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. Moreover, they are essential in ensuring that treatments are effective and accessible to diverse populations, helping to address health disparities. Phases of Clinical Trials The drug development process typically begins with preclinical research, where potential treatments are tested in the lab and on animal models. Once a promising candidate is identified, the process moves into the clinical trial phase, divided into four stages. Phase I: Safety and Dosage This initial phase involves a small group of healthy volunteers (20-100) and focuses on assessing the drug’s safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. The primary goal of Phase I is to determine the safest dose range and to identify any potential side effects. This phase is crucial because it sets the stage for all subsequent testing, ensuring the drug is safe for human use before proceeding to larger trials. Phase II: Efficacy and Side Effects In this phase, the drug is administered to a larger group of people (100-300) who have the condition the drug is intended to treat. The primary goal is to assess the drug’s efficacy and side effects. Phase II trials provide preliminary data on whether the drug works in people with a particular disease or condition. This phase also helps to refine the optimal dosage and identify any additional side effects that may not have been observed in Phase I. Phase III: Large-Scale Testing This phase involves a much larger patient group (1,000-3,000) to confirm the drug’s effectiveness, monitor side effects, and compare it to commonly used treatments. Phase III trials are critical for providing comprehensive data to demonstrate that the drug is safe and effective in a large population. This is the final phase before seeking regulatory approval, and the data gathered during this phase are used to create the drug’s labelling information, which guides how it should be used in clinical practice. Phase IV: Post-Market Surveillance Post-approval, this phase involves continued monitoring of the drug’s performance in the general population to identify any long-term effects or rare side effects. Regulatory agencies often require phase IV trials as a condition of approval, which is crucial for ensuring the ongoing safety of the drug. They provide additional data on the drug’s long-term benefits and risks, helping to refine its use in specific populations or combination with other treatments. The Challenge of Clinical Trial Recruitment One of the significant challenges in the clinical trial process is clinical trial recruitment. Finding and enrolling the right participants is crucial but often difficult, time-consuming, and costly. Effective recruitment ensures that trials are completed on time and the study results are robust and reliable. Barriers to Recruitment Recruiting participants for clinical trials can be challenging for several reasons. First, there is often a lack of awareness about clinical trials among the general population. Many people are unaware they could participate in a trial or may have misconceptions about participation. Additionally, the eligibility criteria for clinical trials can be particular, making it challenging to find participants who meet all the requirements. Another significant barrier is the fear and mistrust of medical research. Historical abuses in medical research, such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, have left a legacy of mistrust, particularly among minority populations. This mistrust can lead to lower participation rates in clinical trials, making recruiting a diverse and representative sample of participants difficult. Finally, logistical challenges such as travel, time commitment, and the need for frequent visits to a trial site can deter potential participants. These challenges are particularly acute for individuals living in rural areas or with limited access to healthcare facilities. AI in Clinical Trial Recruitment AI has the potential to revolutionize clinical trial recruitment by making the process more efficient and effective. AI software can analyze vast amounts of data from electronic health records and genetic information to identify suitable candidates for clinical trials. This capability helps match the appropriate patients to the proper trials quickly and accurately. Enhanced Patient Matching For instance, AI algorithms can scan medical records to identify patients who meet the specific inclusion criteria for a trial, such as age, gender, medical history, and genetic markers. This automated process significantly reduces the time and resources required for recruitment compared to manual methods. AI can analyze data at a scale and speed that would be impossible for humans, making it possible to identify potential participants much more quickly. In addition to speeding up recruitment, AI can improve patient matching accuracy. Traditional recruitment methods rely on broad criteria that may miss potential participants who fall outside the typical parameters but could still benefit from the treatment. Conversely, AI can identify nuanced patterns in the data, leading to more precise and effective recruitment. Diversity and Inclusivity AI can also help target underrepresented populations, ensuring a more diverse and inclusive participant pool, which is essential for the generalizability of the trial results. AI can identify communities often overlooked in traditional recruitment efforts by analysing demographic and geographic data. This helps to ensure that the trial results apply to a broader population, improving the overall effectiveness and safety of the drug. Moreover, AI can help address some logistical challenges associated with clinical trial participation. For example, AI-powered platforms can match participants with geographically convenient trials, reducing the need for long travel times. Additionally, AI can facilitate remote monitoring and virtual trials, making it easier for participants to participate in studies without visiting a trial site in person. Patient Engagement and Retention AI can also improve patient engagement and retention by providing personalized communication and follow-ups. This technology can send reminders, offer educational materials, and track patient adherence, which enhances the overall participant experience and reduces dropout rates. For example, AI can send tailored reminders to participants about upcoming appointments, medication schedules, and other critical trial-related activities. These reminders can be personalized based on the participant’s preferences, such as their preferred communication method and time of day. This personalisation level can help keep participants engaged and motivated throughout the trial, reducing the likelihood of dropout. In addition, AI can provide participants with personalized educational materials that explain the trial process, the potential risks and benefits of participation, and what to expect during the study. This information can help to alleviate concerns and build trust, leading to higher participation and retention rates. The Future of Clinical Trials Integrating AI and other innovative technologies will advance drug development as the pharmaceutical industry evolves. AI’s ability to streamline clinical trial recruitment, enhance patient matching, and improve engagement and retention has the potential to transform the clinical trial process. However, the adoption of AI in clinical trials also presents new challenges. For instance, there are concerns about data privacy and the ethical use of AI in healthcare. AI tools must be designed and implemented to protect patient privacy and ensure that AI's benefits are distributed equitably across all populations. Moreover, the use of AI in clinical trials must be carefully regulated to ensure that it does not introduce bias or exacerbate existing health disparities. AI algorithms are only as good as the data they are trained on, and if the underlying data are biased, the AI system may perpetuate those biases. Therefore, it is crucial to use diverse and representative data sets when developing AI tools for clinical trial recruitment. Conclusion Clinical trials are a cornerstone of drug development, ensuring that new treatments are safe and effective for patients. However, clinical trial recruitment remains a significant challenge that can delay drug development. Integrating AI into recruitment strategies offers a promising solution, streamlining the process, improving accuracy, and fostering participant diversity. As the pharmaceutical industry evolves, embracing AI and other innovative technologies will be crucial in advancing drug development and bringing new therapies to market more efficiently.
