Authors: Bhaumik Kaushitaki , Rai Praveen , Upadhyay Amrita , Bhoneja Barkha
Published: June 2024

Creating complex structures known as organoids and spheroids through 3D cell culture methods is one of the most intriguing developments in the field of bio science research. These three-dimensional setups closely resemble in vivo environments, where cells can proliferate and engage with their environment. This results in our better understanding of both the spatial and temporal patterns of organ development and organ functioning. Research on stem cells is increasing, and both the medical and dental fields have researched them in great detail. Since their discovery, stem cells have drawn a lot of attention for their ability to self-renew and differentiate into other types of cells. The human body's richest source of stem cells is the mouth cavity. In the realm of dentistry, adult mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been found in a number of oral and maxillofacial tissues. It is anticipated that oral stem and mucosal cells would be a prime source for genetically altered cells, including induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Furthermore, since stem cell and tissue engineering therapies in dentistry continue to draw increasing clinical attention and offer new approaches to treating disorders and replacing missing tissues, oral tissues are anticipated to be both a source and a therapeutic target for stem cells. Oral stem cell collection is simple as the mouth cavity is so easily accessible. Dental pulp, exfoliated deciduous teeth, periodontal ligaments, the apical papilla, dental follicles, gingival epithelial tissue, and gingival connective tissue are the major sources to include oral stem cells. The potential application of these oral stem cells in regenerative medicine is highlighted by the fact that these cells are known to be essential for several forms of dental tissue regeneration, including the regeneration of dentine and periodontal ligaments after injury. The history of stem cells, various stem cells that are pertinent to dentistry, their benefits and drawbacks, the state of dental applications today, and the banking and storage of dental stem cells are all covered in this chapter.

CONCEPTS, TECHNOLOGIES, AND FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR THE ENERGY INTERNET
Authors: Panda Sampurna , Kumar Rakesh
Published: June 2024

Significant difficulties have resulted from the climate change crisis, which is being compounded by the world's reliance on fossil fuels. Extensive electrification based on renewable energy sources is seen as one of the most potential growth options to tackle these issues in the medium to long term. In any case, this is real if and only if the power grid can handle increased use of renewable energy sources and distributed energy resources like batteries and heat pumps. A novel idea is needed to achieve the electricity generation goals based on renewable energy. In light of current developments in information and telecommunication network technology, the concept of the Energy Internet (EI) has been proposed. Many steps have been done recently to put the EI into practise. These EI models have a lot in common, and yet no one has settled on a single, definitive definition of the EI. Some studies have even offered protocols and designs, but there hasn't been any comprehensive look at the technology involved thus far. If we want to work towards a standardised version of the EI that will make it easier to deploy it around the world, we need to have a firm grasp on the technologies that underpin and encompass the existing and future EI. The paper begins by reviewing and critiquing the most common EI definitions seen in academic journals. The scientific literature is then divided into four categories, each of which represents a different perspective on the EI as shown through its definitions, assumptions, scope, and application domains. Then, we propose a new universal definition of the EI by bringing together the various existing definitions and concepts in light of the upcoming smart grid. We also pinpoint the fundamental technologies responsible for coordinating and controlling the many parts of a system, whether they are locally located or geographically dispersed. The study wraps up by outlining the most pressing problems that will need to be solved in order to implement an EI-based energy system in the future, as well as outlining the essential conditions that such a system must meet in order to achieve its goals.

Authors: Mathapathi Kiran
Published: June 2024

This paper aims to examine the outcomes and traits of initial public offerings (IPOs) made by Indian companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange during the course of the previous ten years, from 2012 to 2022. The study aims to assess IPO performance based on the type of return it generated on the first day of listing. Any company's listing is believed to be put to the test on the first day, and how well it does on that day foreshadows the adage that "the first impression is the best impression." In order to examine the performance of IPOs, the current work used the event study approach, in which an event window was formed with a base of 50 days. For these 50 days, average abnormal returns (ARR) and cumulative average abnormal returns (CAAR) were determined. The benchmark index used to determine the market adjusted return was the BSE SENSEX. On the basis of the type of return on the first trading day, the study made an effort to verify IPO performance in India. The data revealed that Indian initial public offerings (IPOs) underperformed regardless of the type of return on the first day of listing. The data also shows that the companies that had a negative return on the first day of trading performed significantly worse than the companies that had a positive return. The purpose of this study is to gather data to identify companies that have outperformed and underperformed from their initial trading day.

Published: June 2024

Business models are crucial for transforming innovative technology into valuable products. All firm, in terms of connecting concepts and technology to profitable outputs, has an implicit business model. But the new businesses were the ones who had to explain their business plan, especially because they needed the money up front. If a great fresh innovation doesn't have the "go to market" channels to generate value for users, it won't be used. Business strategists began to pay more attention to the business model as it became clear that it was centered on creating value for customers. At the strategic level, a business model determines the complete business concept of an organization, as opposed to business process design at the operational level. As an example, Apple offers users a unique interaction with its iPods, iTunes, iPhones, and iPads by focusing on a customer segment that values functionality and style. Entrepreneurial Spirit By seeking new models of value generation and capture processes, it may be an innovation topic in and of itself. New business models may play a crucial role in ensuring the success of a company even without breakthrough technologies. For instance, Dell developed its supply chain and distribution systems in order to provide end consumers with appealing value rather than concentrating on enhancing the desktop or laptop computer.

Published: June 2024

Marketing of products and services is the most important activity of all insurance companies, where brokers play an important role in the success of their work. The performance of the life insurance industry depends on how efficiently its distribution channels operate. Historically, among the many channels operating in the insurance industry in India, the individual agent is the one who not only participates in the business but also helps in the distribution of the services offered to them. Therefore, this article looks specifically at the growth and performance of one broker's channel. The study assessed the development of business based on the number of policies issued by LIC and 19 private insurance companies and surplus income over a period of five years, ie. 2018-19 to 2022-23. The overall spread of individual factors and their productivity were assessed. Descriptive statistics and annual compound growth rates were determined using a log-linear regression model to estimate the growth and trend of individual participants operating in private and public insurance companies. The final word of the study emphasized that in the life insurance industry, where all business was done through individual brokers compared to other distribution channels operating in the industry. The result of other channels will increase, but not as much as the individual agents show the business generated. The findings of the study suggest that if emerging channels want to remain dynamic in the market structure and improve their performance accordingly, they must restructure their distribution operations to improve the performance of the incumbent channel.

Published: June 2024

"Crowdfunding" is a phenomenon which is gaining its popularity due to the lacking traditional mechanism of acquiring loan. Even in the light of currently prevailing guidelines published by the regulatory bodies of India, its importance cannot be ignored. The present research work is an effort to understand the regulatory framework of crowdfunding. In today’s scenario of Alternative Finance (AltFin), crowdfunding is a modern way of getting finance for start-ups and SMEs but the benefits and risks associated with crowdfunding work as a double edged sword while deciding for a finance alternative in a shared economy. The data collected is based on secondary research to gather the information provided by the regulatory scenario, policymakers, the key players, SMEs and start-ups trends, industry landscape, regional insights, technological innovations, key market challenges, and opportunities etc. The regulatory framework on crowdfunding does not provide a secure environment to cover the risks associated with the use of pooled funds from crowd. So, it has been found that RBI and SEBI can provide a solution that SMEs/Startups can easily raise capital but traditional financial sources are equally valuable to cover the risk of retail investors. No doubt, the government schemes launched for SMEs are providing a solution to enrich the entrepreneurial skills in India but crowdfunding with a better regulatory framework can assist to achieve the dream of ‘Atamnirbhar Bharat Mission’. Hence, a balance needs to be created among traditional financial markets, available banking solutions, and new alternative for entrepreneurial growth of Indian MSMEs. A changed law and a vigilant attitude of the regulatory bodies can protect the crowd before putting their funds at stake.

RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS
Authors: Chakrabarty Anisha , Chatterjee Trisha
Published: June 2024

Radiopharmaceuticals, or radioactive therapeutic substances, have seen a tremendous increase in recent decades. Radiopharmaceuticals are compounds or substances that generate radiation and have medical applications. These formulations contain one or more radionuclides, which are unstable nuclei that undergo spontaneous nuclear modifications and release radiation to achieve stability. These unstable nuclei, known as radioisotopes or radionuclides, disintegrate or decay by generating specific particles or amounts of energy that are unique to the isotope. There are three types of radioactive decay based on the decay of radioactive substances: alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma radiations. Because alpha particles are made up of two protons and two neutrons and have a big mass and charge, they have little penetrating power into the skin and have a destructive effect. Because beta particles have a lower charge and mass, they can penetrate tissue more easily and have a less damaging effect than alpha particles, making them useful in therapy. Because gamma radiations have no mass or charge, they can penetrate deep tissue of organs and thus be employed in diagnosis by imaging using a gamma camera. The following chapter presents an overview of radiations, radioactivity, and radioisotopes as well as various pharmaceutical applications of radiopharmaceuticals in therapeutic and diagnostic fields such as treatment of several diseases such as thyroid gland cancer, hyperthyroidism, bone pain metastasis, kidney dysfunction, imaging,Theranostics, Stem Cell Tracking etc.It also focuses on different novel approaches of the delivery of Radiopharmaceuticals.
