Dmytro Shymkiv: the export of Ukrainian pharmaceutical products significantly increased over the last year

May 20, 2021

Evaluating the state of the global and domestic pharmaceutical market, Dmytro Shymkiv, the head of the Board of Directors of the Darnytsa Group, encouraged the audience with good news. Due to his report, the Darnytsa company managed to launch new products — 10 new brands during the last year. At the same time, one of these drugs completes the line of two- and three-component medicines used in treating arterial hypertension.

In addition, Dmytro Shymkiv informed that the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions have led to a deterioration in the situation in the global medicines market. So, taking an example of India — the largest supplier of pharmaceutical raw materials and finished drugs — it has limited exports and ultimately closed its borders in the struggle against coronavirus. Many European countries were obliged to take such actions that led them to the verge of collapse because of the lack of medicines and other pharmaceutical products.

However, such a deteriorating situation played into the Ukrainian manufacturers’ hands and allowed them to speed up and increase the export of medicines to the EU. Moreover, Ukraine managed to avoid drug shortages. And such advantages are due to a well-developed pharmaceutical industry.

Domestic manufacturers of medications and pharmaceutical products could quickly refocus themselves and account for the growing demand of Ukrainians for medicines. And among those manufacturers is the Darnytsia closed joint-stock company which take the leading position.

Dmytro Shymkiv clarified that entering the European market during a pandemic is a situational profit. But thanks to such a move, new opportunities have opened up for the Ukrainian pharma. However, in order to implement those opportunities in full, it is necessary to amend the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) Agreement between Ukraine and the EU.

Following this goal, representatives of domestic pharmaceutical companies led by the Darnytsia Group put forward an initiative to promote the process of mutual recognition of GMP certificates. Dmytro Shymkiv believes that this issue will be resolved very soon since Ukrainian products are not inferior to their European counterparts regarding quality, efficiency, and safety.

When it comes to the perspective export of Ukrainian medicines in the eastern direction, the top manager of Darnytsia reported that Ukraine has high chances in this case. Despite the increased competition with Indian and Chinese drugs, the new brands launched last year by the Darnytsia factory are absolutely capable of appealing to millions of Asian doctors and patients.

Earth’s inner core is ‘superionic’, a state of matter somewhere between solid and liquid

Earth’s inner core is ‘superionic’, a state of matter somewhere between solid and liquid, study suggests core is ‘superionic’, a state of matter somewhere between solid and liquid, study suggests We’ve known for a while that Earth’s deepest depths, its “solid iron” inner core, isn’t made of pure iron — and now scientists say it might not be solid either. Key points: The structure of Earth’s inner core has been a mystery since its discovery in 1936 Physicists originally thought it was solid, but a new study suggests it’s somewhere between solid and liquid Such studies potentially shed light on some, but not all, of our planet’s deepest secrets Simulations by a team of researchers in China suggest our planet’s innards are somewhere between solid and liquid in a “superionic” state. The research has been published in the journal Nature. Yu He, a physicist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and co-author of the study, said the calculations were “a new starting point to understand the inner core”. This study, and others like it, Dr. He added, might one day help earth scientists solve some fundamental but complex problems, such as when the inner core started to take shape. But the new study can’t completely explain all the inner core’s quirks. Why states of matter matter On the surface of the Earth, we generally deal with three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Take water, for instance. As the ice in a cool drink, water molecules are arranged in a regular, 3D crystal. When that ice melts to become liquid water, those molecules can now move around but are still in close proximity. And like a gas, like the water vapor that gives humid days their oppressive stickiness, those mobile water molecules are free to move far away from each other. But when substances are subjected to intense pressure or heat, they can switch into other, weirder states of matter. Such as superionic matter, which is somewhere between liquid and solid. In superionic water, molecules split apart into oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atoms crystallize into a 3D structure — like you’d see in a solid — while hydrogen atoms move freely around, like a liquid. Superionic water ice could make up the bulk of giant icy planets, such as Neptune and Uranus. And some geophysicists think the very center of Earth, its inner core, is superionic too. Instead of water, though, the inner core is made of a metal alloy: mostly iron, a bit of nickel, and a few other much lighter elements, such as hydrogen and carbon, mixed in there too. It’s the iron atoms that form the 3D “solid” structure in a superionic state and the lighter elements that flow around it like liquid. Earthquakes used to probe Earth’s core Earth’s inner core reaches temperatures similar to the surface of the Sun and pressures 3.7 million times what we experience at sea level. Physically digging to the inner core is impossible, and we can’t yet recreate its conditions in the lab. So to get an idea of what the inner core is like, scientists measure how seismic waves, generated by earthquakes, change in speed and direction as they rumble through the center of the planet. This information can tell scientists how dense the inner core’s iron alloy is, as well as its stiffness, said Hrvoje Tkalcic, a geophysicist at the Australian National University who was not involved in the work. “And then we also have mineral physics, geodynamics, and mathematical geophysics trying to work together to figure out what the heck is happening at the center of our planet,” Professor Tkalcic said. Dr. He and his crew used computer simulations to see how seismic waves might travel through an alloy made of iron, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen under immense pressure and heat. They’re not the first to do this: other studies have done similar, albeit with fewer lighter elements included. The new study’s conclusions are in line with what scientists have deduced from earthquakes: that the core is less dense than pure iron, so lighter elements must be mixed in, and it’s relatively soft. But there’s still a mystery Something the new study can’t fully explain is a peculiar but distinct feature of the inner core. The speed at which a seismic wave moves through the inner core depends on its direction through the planet. For instance, a wave traveling between north and south magnetic poles will ripple faster through the inner core than a wave traveling across the globe from the equator to the equator — even if they’re traveling the same distance. It’s a phenomenon called seismic anisotropy, and why it happens, no one’s really sure. Dr. He and colleagues suggest lighter, liquid-like elements are not evenly distributed through the superionic inner core. Instead, they’re concentrated into a flattened sphere around the middle, which puts the brakes on waves passing through. But how exactly how — and why — lighter elements might accumulate that way is not specified. In any case, the middle of the planet definitely requires more scrutiny, Dr. He said. “I think more studies are needed to explain other seismic features, such as seismic anisotropy, in the inner core.” Source: abc.net.au

Luxury train journeys: Discover the world in a new light on a voyage through spectacular scenery

Agatha Christie once said: ‘Trains are wonderful… to travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches, and rivers, in fact, to see life.’ She was right. Here we round up some of the world’s most spectacular rides. GOING, GOING, GHAN The shiny, stainless-steel carriages of The Ghan – pictured – sweep across the immense dusty red-soil plains of Australia The 54-hour, 1,851-mile journey between Darwin and Adelaide — or vice versa — on The Ghan, is superb. Shiny, stainless-steel carriages sweep across immense dusty red-soil plains, stopping in Alice Springs, which is a springboard to see the famous sandstone monolith of Uluru. The Ghan is a shortening of The Afghan Express, the name given to Afghan camel herdsmen who crossed the Outback in the 1800s. INTO INDIA India’s Shimla service from Kalka is nicknamed the ‘toy train’, with a twisty 60-mile route through 107 tunnels There are more than 68,000 miles of rail tracks in India, making it a wonderful country to explore by train. Some of the finest rides are along narrow-gauge lines into the former hill stations of British colonial rule at Darjeeling and Shimla, both in the foothills of the Himalayas. The Shimla service from Kalka is nicknamed the ‘toy train’, with a twisty 60-mile route through 107 tunnels. NO-RUSH RUSSIA Preparing to dine in luxury on the Trans-Siberian Express. Traveling on the railway gives you an idea of the sheer enormity of Russia Crossing from Moscow to Vladivostok on the Trans-Siberian Railway, you get an idea of the sheer enormity of Russia — the ride covers 5,752 miles. The service also runs from Moscow to Beijing, either through Mongolia (4,735 miles) or Manchuria (5,623 miles). In Siberia, vast pine forests spread out, interrupted by cities with great smokestacks and villages with simple abodes. ON A SWISS ROLL Carriages on the Glacier Express (pictured) have panoramic windows so you can see all the peaks Join the Glacier Express in winter to see the snow-capped mountains of the Swiss Alps rising all around. The route covers 181 miles from Zermatt to St Moritz. Carriages have panoramic windows so you can see all the peaks.

Join a ‘Rovos Rail — Pride of Africa’ luxury train on the Katanga-Benguela route across Angola into the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The route links up with tracks into Zambia and Tanzania on a 2,650-mile odyssey across great plains, through remote valleys, and along mighty rivers, with the possibility to stop for safaris. You’ll ride in comfortable 1950s vintage carriages, plus there’s a swanky restaurant car. ROCKY RITUAL Take to the tracks between Denver in Colorado and Moab in Utah on a new, two-day Rocky Mountaineer service. Following the swirling waters of the Colorado River, the train snakes into canyons and crosses a desert-like landscape. Some carriages have panoramic glass roofs. It goes slowly so you’ll be sure to get lots of super snaps. TOP TRAIN TRAVEL TIPS Read up about where you will be passing by — it adds to the enjoyment. Always investigate the dining carriage — you might bump into interesting people. Watch the scenery (not a smartphone screen). Enjoy a sundowner if you are traveling by sleeper train. Take a pack of cards (and/or Scrabble or your favorite game) for evenings. Dress up for dinner on luxury trains — it all adds to the Agatha Christie-ish atmosphere (minus any murders, hopefully).

Will trailblazing Canada cause upsets at the 2022 FIFA World Cup?

Canada is known for many things, but success at the FIFA world cup is yet to be one of them. This could well be set to change, as the Canadian Soccer Association has been in rip-roaring form to unexpectedly top the CONCACAF federation in the world cup qualifiers, leading to many Canadian fans wondering about how their country’s team will perform on the world stage. In a qualifying group full of promising footballing nations, pundits and fans alike were not expecting the Maple Leafs to fare the way that they have. Other notable teams to appear in the CONCACAF group include the USMNT, a team bursting full of young talent plying their trade across Europe, and Mexico, which has historically led this group with ease. While the Maple Leafs have only managed one appearance in the FIFA world cup in the past, they’re headed to their next World Cup this year, after topping the CONCACAF federation by narrowly edging Mexico on goal difference. After 14 games, The Maple Leafs ended the world cup qualification group having played won 8 of their 14 games, drawing 4, and losing 2. Judging by their form in the qualification, it’s easy to think that Canada has a shot at causing some upsets. After assessing the group Canada has been placed in, however, it appears that the men from the great white north will have to put together some flawless performances in order to proceed to the knockout stage. The list of newly legalized betting sites in Ontario has given the maple leafs long odds for qualifying for the knockout stage. The Canadians have been placed in a group with Belgium, Croatia, and Morroco. Belgium has one of the most dangerous teams in world football, while Croatia is a consistent dark horse, who have the likes of Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic, and Mateo Kovacic to call upon. Morocco’s Hakim Ziyech and Ascharf Hakimi have dazzled across Europe, and are expected to string together some impressive performances. While the group that is most difficult according to FIFA rankings is Group B (England, USA; Iran, Wales), Canada’s group will be feeling a lot like a group of death when it comes to qualifying. All eyes are bound to be on Belgium and Croatia to qualify, who have both fared quite well in world cups past. Based on historical performances at the FIFA World Cup, Canada is the biggest underdogs only having gone to one World Cup almost 40 years ago, and having won none of their games. These days, however, Canada has a number of stars of their own that are looking to dazzle at the world cup. For one, Alphonso Davies will be looking to shine at the tournament. The Bayern Munich star, who has become known for being one of the fastest players on the planet has been exceptionally successful in the Bundesliga and will be a leading figure for the team. Jonathan David is another player that has been performing at an extremely high level in Ligue 1, with the Canadian national team looking to him to lead the line. While the Canadians don’t have the best track record when it comes to their performances at the world cup, this year is looking to be a whole lot different. While the group that Canada has been placed in is one of the toughest in the competition, anything can happen in football.

8 Reasons Why You Need to Live in a Tiny House

When tiny house living first burst upon the housing scene in the early 21st century, many people believed it was a passing fad. They were wrong. Today, the number of people who are drawn to these miniature houses is only growing. While there are a great number of very practical factors influencing the tiny house movement, there is an undeniable “charm factor” as well. Tiny house stories have a way of spreading. In this article learn about 8 reasons why you need to live in a tiny house to experience the magic firsthand. Tiny houses can be as unique as you are It is hard to forget your first glimpse of a tiny house. In fact, for many people, this is how it starts. But the more you learn, the more you realize how completely customizable a tiny house can be. You truly don’t have to sacrifice that spacious kitchen or luxurious bath. And you can do it for a fraction of the carbon footprint of a regular-size dwelling. Tiny houses are becoming a big business worldwide As Market Research recently reported, the reason tiny houses have outlasted their fad-like beginnings is that they are undeniably practical. Prices make tiny houses attractive to singles and young families as well as seniors. The low carbon footprint attracts eco-conscious home buyers. In areas where land is in scarce supply, tiny houses require less and house more. Tiny houses put you on the road to financial independence Since tiny houses can often be built for up to two-thirds less than what it would cost to build a traditional home, they can put you on the fast track to financial independence. This can be particularly sweet news for seniors on a fixed income or singles and young families still paying off school debt. Tiny houses are minimalism-friendly The minimalist movement has gained steam as more people embrace a life free from clutter and extra “stuff.” When you live in a tiny house, you simply cannot accumulate extra items you don’t need or use. You also can’t spend on extras because you won’t have anywhere to put them! Tiny houses encourage you to get outside and into nature As Deseret News points out when you have less indoor space to use and share, you will be more likely to get outside, stretch your legs, breathe fresh air and seek out the company of nature. In fact, it is the indoor-outdoor lifestyle that really appeals to so many “tiny houses,” as people who live in tiny houses often call themselves. Tiny houses can keep you mobile for travel While both tiny houses on a foundation and tiny houses on wheels exist, it is the latter that has really captured the attention of homeowners who have the travel bug. With a tiny house on wheels that can be hitched up to a suitable vehicle for hauling, it becomes possible to stay on the move for much or even all of the year. Many snowbirds and adventurers enjoy tiny house living because they really can see and do it all. Tiny houses become their own adventure When you choose a tiny house for your home, everything is the same, yet different. And because tiny houses still represent a relative minority, you have to get a handier in terms of troubleshooting and fixing things. For some people, this learning curve can be frustrating….but these tend not to be the people who choose tiny houses. Tiny housers love the challenge of getting creative, learning new skills, and problem-solving that tiny house living presents. Tiny houses complement a remote work environment As more and more people join the remote workforce, it truly becomes possible to work from anywhere. And if it doesn’t matter whether you are working as long as you get your work done, it even becomes possible to travel and work, visiting family and friends, seeing the sights, and making your dreams come true. Tiny house living is not for everyone. But more and more people are discovering their inner “tiny houser” and choosing to leave the cluttered life of brick-and-mortar living behind forever. __________ Author’s Bio: Matt McGrath is an avid traveler and a prominent writer in the blogging community.

Are there different types of policies?

Yes. A person who owns his or her home would have a different policy from someone who rents. Policies also differ on the amount of insurance coverage provided. The different types of homeowners policies are fairly standard throughout the country. However, individual states and companies may offer policies that are slightly different or go by other names such as “standard” or “deluxe”. The one exception is the state of Texas, where policies vary somewhat from policies in other states. The Texas Insurance Department has detailed information on its various homeowners policies. The chart below lists the disasters covered in each of the following types of policies: If you own your home If you own the home you live in, you have several policies to choose from. The most popular policy is the HO-3, which provides the broadest coverage. Owners of multi-family homes generally purchase an HO-3 with an endorsement to cover the risks associated with having renters live in their homes. HO-1: Limited coverage policy This “bare bones” policy covers you against the first 10 disasters. It’s no longer available in most states. HO-2: Basic policy A basic policy provides protection against all 16 disasters. There is a version of HO-2 designed for mobile homes. HO-3: The most popular policy This “special” policy protects your home from all perils except those specifically excluded. (Click on the link below for a sample HO-3 form; you will need Acrobat which you can download, free of charge, from the Adobe website. HO-8: Older home Designed for older homes, this policy usually reimburses you for damage on an actual cash value basis which means replacement cost less depreciation. Full replacement cost policies may not be available for some older homes. If you rent your home HO4-Renter Created specifically for those who rent the home they live in, this policy protects your possessions and any parts of the apartment that you own, such as new kitchen cabinets you install, against all 16 disasters. If you own a co-op or a condo H0-6: condo/co-op A policy for those who own a condo or co-op, it provides coverage for your belongings and the structural parts of the building that you own. It protects you against all 16 disasters. Your level of coverage Regardless of whether you are an owner or renter, you have the following three options: Actual cash value. This type of policy pays to replace your home or possessions minus a deduction for depreciation. Replacement cost. The policy pays the cost of rebuilding/repairing your home or replacing your possessions without a deduction for depreciation. Guaranteed or extended replacement cost. This policy offers the highest level of protection. A guaranteed replacement cost policy pays whatever it costs to rebuild your home as it was before the fire or other disaster–even if it exceeds the policy limit. This gives you protection against sudden increases in construction costs due to a shortage of building materials after a widespread disaster or other unexpected situations. It generally won’t cover the cost of upgrading the house to comply with current building codes. You can, however, get an endorsement (or an addition to) your policy called Ordinance or Law to help pay for these additional costs. A guaranteed replacement cost policy may not be available if you own an older home. Some insurance companies offer an extended, rather than a guaranteed replacement cost policy. An extended policy pays a certain percentage over the limit to rebuild your home. Generally, it is 20 to 25 percent more than the limit of the policy. For example, if you took out a policy for $100,000, you could get up to an extra $20,000 or $25,000 of coverage. Even though a guaranteed/extended replacement cost policy may be a bit more expensive, it offers the best financial protection against disasters for your home. These coverages, however, may not be available in all states or from all companies.
