In rich or developing countries, they are a strong argument in favor of promotion and encouragement policies aimed at maximizing their contribution to job creation, economic growth and, consequently, to the fight against poverty. poverty and social inequality.</li><li>When they enjoy good health and occupy a favorable competitive position in a market, they contribute not only to income generation, but also to the redistribution of national income in favor of the poor. These economic entities, to a certain extent, slow down the migration of populations and thus facilitate the decentralization of development.</li><li>All these virtues recognized in companies are only possible if they have the material, financial, human and informational resources. However, the acquisition of the latter and its operation are sometimes the daughter of the company's information system which, nowadays, is undergoing a real change with the arrival of New Information and Communication Technologies (NTIC) also called Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).</li><li>New Technologies have marked these last years by the acceleration of their rhythm and the extent of their generalization. This situation, to which is added the globalization and globalization of economies, creates a turbulent economic environment around companies. C. Karr (1999) recognizes that the competitive advantages that connection to the Internet provides to companies, on the one hand, concern all of them, from the pizza seller to General Motors, on the other hand, are immediate. In particular, the rational use of the Internet constitutes a significant asset in the creation and management of small businesses. Opening an electronic mailbox, almost free, is instantaneous. The installation of a website represents, all other things being equal, a modest scaling up of the company's current investments, even if this amount is quite sensitive to the nature of the functionalities implemented.</li><li>On the economic level, the upheaval in the flow of information around the company appears both as a threat and an opportunity. A firm that manages this situation well can benefit from a flexibility and a capacity that can enable it to adapt to its market while ensuring its competitiveness.</li><li>Any company using the Internet or its derivatives is placed under the play of a great wind. Many are the "success stories", of companies having experienced a development of their activity following relationships forged with new local or foreign customers on the web. In a less spectacular, but more frequent way, the use of the Internet allows SMEs to maintain convenient, rapid and inexpensive day-to-day relations with their suppliers, local and/or foreign customers and service providers. Consequently, according to [Porter (1986), Jameux (1989)] it appears in a voluminous management literature as a strategic element for the company both in its search for organizational efficiency and competitiveness on the markets.</li><li>The information system is also the driving force behind the development of new product-market pairs, on new strategic management methods in an increasingly turbulent competitive environment. Through ICT, the manager of the company controls information. This allows the company to control its production, commercial, financial, human and information management systems. Therefore, through ICT, the information system is increasingly recognized in the theory of strategic management, as a new key variable of competitiveness within companies in the short, medium and long term. They are thus presented as a crisis exit strategy. Competitiveness requirements induced by the general evolution of the national and international economic environment, imply a modernization of the information apparatus of organizations in order to give them not only an aptitude on a competitive market, but to make them efficient. How are these instruments used within organizations?</li><li>Companies and their managers will also find themselves in the future increasingly confronted with an "economy of power", the functioning of which will be governed by the search for a position on the market such that the company is able to safeguard its decision-making autonomy, strategic leeway. Such a position implies not only a competitive advantage with a significant impact on the market, but also resources allowing the valuation of this advantage. So how do these Information and Communication Technologies contribute to improving business performance?</li><li>The purpose of this study is to describe the use of ICT in companies and to highlight the influence of this use on the commercial performance of companies. Our study has two main objectives: to detect and assess the degree of use of ICT instruments within companies and to highlight the existence of a relationship between this degree of use of these different instruments and the performance of companies.</li><li>At the level of managers, the study should enable managers, active and potential consumers, to identify the preponderant role of ICTs in terms of productivity, competitiveness and above all of the vases of information resources important for survival, growth and flexibility of their entity in the era of globalization and globalization. It will enable the public authorities to better adjust their actions and aid policies for the development of firms considered to be the essential vector of well-being. Like the work of Raymond et al.(1994) and Torres (1998) the fields of literature and research will be enriched by the results of this study which present ICT as an advantage and a source of commercial, economic, strategic and organizational performance of the company.</li><li>In the following lines we present: ICT and business performance, the methodology used and the results of the study.</li></ol><div><br /></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Lukman Kurniawanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05545996342149949171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595057824785165013.post-2051353018937918092023-04-15T20:01:00.004-07:002023-04-15T20:01:00.170-07:00Start with minimal investment.

like an emotional rollercoaster ride, one moment you feel like you own the
world and the next second it all comes crashing down. This guide will help
you get started.</span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">This
post is an update of my previous post from 2014. It has been almost three
years since then and I would like to update the information in a fresh way.</span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">I have worked
exclusively in startups for 6 years. I was a "programmer" - a
professional hired to turn an idea into a "real" business. I
never wanted to start my own business: was it worth risking my comfortable life
for an idea that might not work?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Then 4 years
ago I accepted the challenge of founding a 5-day programming startup in London
called Steer. Two years later I left Steer to start SuperHi.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Before I
start the story, I want to emphasize that <span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">I am
not a startup expert</span> . In general, I don't think anyone can be
an expert because the experience gained in starting a startup
varies. However, many people are new to both startups and IT, so I
dedicate this guide to anyone interested in diving into the dark waters of this
business.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">Money on the road does not
circulate</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">The IT industry is the only
manufacturing industry where a business model is desirable but not
required. Imagine a bakery that gives out donuts for free and has nothing
to pay customers - will advertising on the wall save such a bakery? The IT
business is driven by a quality that no other industry has. <span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">scale</span> ! The Internet
allows this business to reach potential customers worldwide.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">My previous start-up, Steer, was an on-site
training based in London, meaning our client base was geographically
limited. SuperHi offers online courses, meaning students from California
to Australia are streamed over the Internet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">If your business model is based on millions
of non-paying users, there are two options for growth:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">Some balance needs to be found to penetrate
your market. If the offer is too narrow, there is a risk that there will
be too few paying customers; If it's too broad, you may not be able to
solve a specific problem. "Simon Sinek's TED Talk: Let's Start with
Why?" Watch the video and think about why you want to take on this
case.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">You need to be sincere in your thoughts and
enjoy the thoughts you want. <span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">at
least</span> , the year to solve it. If you're not excited about
hiring Mr. Student Programming or Ms. Taxi, think again. The
characteristic of the worst founders is that they only seek to get rich and
fail because they don't have a "greater purpose" in mind.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">Don't hide your thoughts</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is very interesting to
keep your ideas to yourself. Sure, someone can steal your idea, but if
you're unsure about it or don't believe you can build the best team to make it
happen, it might not be for you.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">your ideas to
them, you're insecure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Let's say
someone signs your NDC, and you start a project without leaking the idea...
What's to stop this "someone" If you force freelancers or consultants
to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before pitching from copying your idea
and creating an improved version? Google was far from the first search
engine, and Facebook was not the first social network.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">One of our
biggest competitors recently copied what we do in our online courses. The
first reaction is always "sweats!" However, you should take it
for granted that companies big and small will try to copy you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">Your startup should be best in
class, not first to market.</span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Are you ready
to pursue your ideas more consistently than others?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">Don't
force people to sign non-disclosure agreements or you'll get into trouble.</span></i><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">The initial and final ideas are likely to be very
different.</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">Some successful companies started with
completely different ideas. Flickr was a themed photo-sharing chat for
gamers, Nintendo sold paper playing cards, and Nokia was a paper factory in
Finland.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">My first startup, Steer, was originally a business
consulting site that evolved into a coding school when we realized we couldn't
survive on our original business model.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">schools. It took us a year to create such an editor,
but over time we listened to what our customers wanted - we use our editor for
lectures, but the general idea of our business has changed. We are
trying to solve the same problem as before - simplifying programming - but in a
different direction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Start name<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Finding the right name for a startup is very difficult. If you want
to get the shortest web domain name, the search process is as follows.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Step 1: Find
a great name.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Step 2: Check
iwantmyname.com.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Step 3: We
see that all the top domains of our great name have been taken.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Step 4: Go
back to step 1.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Make sure your customers can type your chosen name in 3 tries (think Led
Zeppelin or The Beatles), and if possible, get the .com option right away - if
you succeed, domain sellers will raise your price. significantly.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">The origin of
the name is not necessarily completely clear - our SuperHi appeared </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8cnP-RtRHU"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">"Information superway"</span></a><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> ("information highway"), a memory

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Steer came

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">Once you have an idea, be sure to draw
everything on paper. Draw every page and window on the screen. Don't
skip any interactions - if there's a link or button, what happens when you
activate it? Follow it.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

paper. It helps the people you work with understand what you are doing. As
co-founders, this means you'll be able to agree on the content of your
idea. For designers and developers, rendering helps them visualize what
will be required and how long it will take.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Check your
ideas</span></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">How do
you test your working ideas? Testing future product ideas or prototypes on
potential customers.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is very tempting to
believe in compliments rather than your own ideas. Whenever you talk to
any potential client, 80% of the time they won't criticize you because people
are polite and avoid conflict. It's even more interesting to ignore the
criticism of the other 20%: "they don't understand" or "they're
just stupid". Maybe they don't really get it, but if they do, maybe
your idea is too complicated or you can't express it well enough...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Start small with your
ideas. Don't create anything yet. Use your sketches to explore the
customer's problems - don't give them a solution right away, remove your own
biases and egos - then use the feedback to create a solution that fits their
problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Get ready to learn at
breakneck speed. Learn as much as you can from your customers so that you
can implement your ideas tomorrow better than the day before.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Find founders
you trust</span></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">People
are an important part of your startup. Good founders know how and when to
change things when something is stagnant. Ideas are
nothing! Performance is everything!</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is possible to start
a business as a sole founder, but it is more difficult. Some investors
prefer not to invest in projects with a single founder, but there are examples to
the contrary (Tumblr, Mint, Alibaba, etc.). If you're considering this
option, you need support in areas where you feel unprepared. For example,
if you are a businessman, get useful advice from development and IT
consultants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I am the sole founder of
my startup. I really enjoy being the "dictator" for all aspects
of my business, but it's really boring and being the only person among the
founders slows down the development of the business. This means that I am
the only component that causes the entire system to fail due to failure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

friends is easier than looking for someone to collaborate with you. You
believe in them and believe in their abilities. However, startups are a
serious test for even the strongest relationships.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If some founders perform
the same functions - for example, they are all businessmen or designers or
developers - their rights and duties should be very clearly defined. If
you all don't like doing bookkeeping or checking accounts, who will?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">How to find a
technical co-founder</span></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">When I
was a freelancer, I received weekly requests to join a startup as a
co-founder-technical officer (CTO). In most cases, I didn't know the
person offering the offering, so I always said no. You hardly get married
without knowing the bride.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Programmers can be
arrogant and believe that they can implement their ideas on their own, but
programming is only a small part of what needs to be done in a startup to
implement an idea. The list of job areas includes development, sales,
marketing, management, production and many others. But right now, you need
a tech founder more than he needs you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">What makes you different
from other "idea implementers"? You are doing a lot of
preparation. You do a lot of research, drawing and branding. You are
preparing a business plan. You do everything a programmer
doesn't. Show everyone who you are.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Second, acquire the
skills to introduce yourself to developers. Learn the basics of
programming and/or development so you know what you're talking about. If
you've never baked, don't bake. This doesn't mean you'll be programming
websites or anything, but the more you know about how it works, the more useful
you'll be.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">How to find
investors</span></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I wrote
earlier that I am not a startup entrepreneur: yes, I am not an investment
expert. Y Combinator's Paul Graham gets it right, and you should read all
of his articles, but especially this one.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">You need a
"Runway" - the time it takes to get your startup from launch to
profitability. Of course, this will only be a guess, as most startups will
never leave the metaphorical runway. Expect this to be twice as long as
you expect, so fundraise accordingly. It is easier and faster to arrange
one large investment than several small ones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Raising money takes
longer than you think. It usually takes 3-6 months, but I've also heard it
take up to a year for smaller fundraisers. Be prepared for more
difficulty.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">There are also
"social" and "silent" money. Social money comes from
people who have experience in your industry or have a good track record of
investing in successful startups. Quiet money comes from people who can't
or aren't willing to give you any help other than investing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">To start a startup at
the first stage, you need to look for what is called a seed
investment. Don't immediately try to approach relatively large companies
like Index Ventures and Balderton. For example, Passion Capital in London
and Mutual Fund in New York are excellent for initial investment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">How much money to raise
depends on the runway, investors and location. The initial round (also
called "seed") in the US is $300,000 to $3 million. In Great
Britain, this value is much lower - 150-500 thousand pounds. Investors in
the US are willing to take more risk than investors in the UK.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Talk to people who have
raised money. Connect with startups who can mentor and guide you through
the investment process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">How to hire
the best</span></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If you
don't have enough training yourself, there are many ways to create a startup in
the IT industry. You can hire full-time employees, you can hire
freelancers, or you can outsource your work.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">At the risk of stating
the obvious, I will rate the benefits of different methods according to the
appropriate scale (0 means "very bad", 10 means
"excellent") as follows: external organizations - 0-3 points,
freelancers - 3 - 8, full-time employee - 7 -ten.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">For outside
organizations (agencies), you'll be one of many projects in the queue, and
their goal is to get you out the door as quickly as possible. There's a
famous saying, "When agencies close, only two contracts
remain." Involving external organizations (agencies) is the most
expensive method.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I ran a 5-day
introductory course on the Ruby on Rails framework at my startup Steer. As
part of the course, the last 2 days have been spent learning how to build a
website for marketplaces like Airbnb, Etsy, and eBay. I anonymously asked
several agencies in London how much they would charge for all the features of
this project. Three agencies submitted bids ranging from £35,000 to
£60,000 (about $80,000 or €75,000).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Freelancers are better
than agencies. They are cheaper, more attentive and more receptive. I
also asked a number of freelancers to bid on the marketplace website and got
quotes ranging from £8,000 to £25,000 ($35,000, €30,000), which is less than
half the agency price. And freelancers can be expected to be more flexible
about long-term partnerships.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">The last
option is a full-time employee. This is the most difficult option to
implement, but is likely to be the cheapest in the long run. Employees
make up the bulk of your team and will really care about what you do.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">In London,
beginner designers cost 18-30 thousand pounds per year, experienced - 30-50,
novice developers - 20-30, experienced - 30-60 (beginners here mean employees
with less than 5 years of experience).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">In New York,
the same line looks a little different (thousand dollars per year): 40-80,
80-150, 50-100, 100-250. Consider the huge wage gap between New York and
London. This is one of the reasons why American startups are raising more
money.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Equity
(shares in your company) should also be considered. In most cases, the
share in the capital only gives "rights", which basically means that
it can be acquired only after a few years. The employee will be able to
receive something based on seniority or whether the company is sold. The
percentage allocated depends on the stage of development of the startup, the
skills of the employees and the amount of capital raised. There is an
excellent guide to stock ownership in IT startups.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">How to find good employees</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">When someone starts working at a startup, they may leave their previous
stability and accept a pay cut to work with you. However, for good people,
money is not the only motivation, otherwise everyone would be working in banks
and becoming management consultants. Good people want to be part of some
great cause or mission and want to believe that their cause matters. </span><a href="https://epolis-nsg.ru/mn/znachenie-miha-chakaya-v-bolshoi-sovetskoi-enciklopedii-bse-miha.html"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">great importance</span></a><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> .

your responsibility to make sure your startup is up to the task.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">As always,
the best place to find people is the web. Attend various events and ask or
make friends in the IT environment. Social networks - personal pages and
company pages are good ways to find people. Your supporters and friends
will find themselves or know someone who will.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">The other way
is advertising. Sites like Unicorn Hunt, WorkInStartups, Smashing Magazine
Jobs, and Authentic Jobs are great places to find good staff.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Startup job
fairs can be quite extensive - I met an ex-employee (how are you? </span><a href="https://twitter.com/blishop"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">Louise</span></a><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> !) at Silicon Milkroundabout -
but remember that if you're showing something, you're going to have to put in a
lot of effort. Don't mess with these horrible people. Come up with
something of your own and focus on it. Be honest with the participants as
well; They won't appreciate it if you pretend you know what you're doing
now only to find out later that you don't.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Design is just as important as development</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Many of the soon-to-be startup founders overlook design as an important
part of the process. If you look at any popular website or app, you can
see how much effort has gone into creating not just the brand, but the entire
user experience.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">If you don't
plan on having an in-house designer, I suggest hiring a freelancer to create
the brand identity for you. A strong brand is essential to stand out in a
crowded market. The litmus test of a good logo: can you draw it from
memory?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">I don't
recommend using cheap stuff like 99designs or Fiverr. Pay a little, but
the product will not matter. If you can't pay for his work, try to offer
the designer some kind of service.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Then deal
with user interaction. Read Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think, Little Big
Details and SiteInspire, then take a closer look at everything on your
site. Make sure everything is as simple and flawless as possible for
users. Use a service like UserTesting to test prototypes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Simplify</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">The first versions are too complicated. Be careful when adding
features and keep them to a minimum. Read (or re-read) The Lean Startup by
Eric Ries.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">For example:
at my previous startup Steer, we launched 7 courses. We quickly realized
that the four courses were competing with each other and the customers were
confused. We narrowed it down to 2 courses and it sold much better than
the 7 course. The simple version continues to work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Even at
SuperHi, two years after launch, we're constantly reviewing what we're
doing. Should face-to-face classes be eliminated? Should I add
another course? We think about it all the time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">According to
the famous restaurateur Gordon Ramsay: "The more dishes, the less"
his article has a lot of meaning for IT companies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">If you want
to add new features (and you will), do it step by step. If you make
changes step by step instead of running multiple features at once, it's easier
to test whether a new feature works and you'll love it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Test,
discuss, and analyze your customers using services like UserTesting,
Optimizely, Intercom, and Mixpanel. The more information you have, the
more informed decisions you can make.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">For example,
we use Intercom for our live chat on the site. Talking to our users helps
us identify information gaps on our site, what issues our users are
experiencing, and how we can improve our products. This kind of feedback
is invaluable to us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Sales and marketing are key to success</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">And now it is built - but no one comes. If you or your co-founder
aren't well-known in your industry, starting a startup can be a little
prestigious. Your next step is to get the name of your startup out to your
audience.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Read Dan
Pink's excellent book, The Salesman. See user experience and why it
matters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">I also highly
recommend Sense of Style by Steven Pinker. This is a book about
brevity. This will allow you to write better about everything that is not
directly related to sales and marketing, but related to them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Depending on
your startup and industry, different sales and marketing methods will and will
not work for you:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

will benefit from your startup. For example, if you've created an online
store for young parents, offer discounts to bloggers who write about parenting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">Internet
advertising</span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> Google
Adwords, Facebook Ads, Twitter Ads, etc. It's relatively inexpensive and
makes it easy to see what works and what doesn't. Invest small amounts in
each campaign and tweak ads to track performance. You will be surprised by
the results.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">Advertising
through traditional media</span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> such
as newspapers and radio. This will work if you want to focus on a specific
area or city first. This is great for building brand awareness, but it may
not translate into sales or customers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">Advertising
campaign</span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> . I've
seen many startups make the mistake of using ad campaigns to promote their
founders rather than their business. Manage yourself. Staying on the
newspaper page may not give you anything to sell. At Steer, we were
featured in a national newspaper, but that didn't lead to additional sales.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">Personal
recommendations</span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> are
the best form of advertising. If people like what you do, they will tell
others about it. Pay close attention to the quality of customer service
and it will increase your chances of being promoted. Every customer should
be convinced that they should be a part of what you do and a follower of you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to do after 8 o'clock in the day is launch your startup. But if you don't
do that, if you don't open up on your own, you'll end up in an endless loop of
working for someone else. And you will adapt to corporate rules, climb the
career ladder and rush to the office at 9:00 every morning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to get up at 5 in the morning</span></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I woke up at 5am and
decided to launch my startup before the office juicer started the day. I
decided to get up early, only to find that my morning zombie brain had cleverly
tricked me into going back to sleep. In those happy days, when I got out
of bed, I just sat staring at one point.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Performance blogs make
it all look easy and constantly bombard you with examples of legendary morning
feats: 8 things everyone should do before 8am, 7 things early birds do
differently, why wake up early? ». .Reading about the achievements of
these superheroes who have saved the world several times before 8 in the
morning makes me feel guilty for another sleepless night. Are they people
at all?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">For example, Jack
Dorsey, the founder of Twitter and Square, gets up at 5:30, meditates, runs 9.5
km, and then works on Twitter and Square for about 8 hours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The truth is, getting up
at 5 am is hell. Good morning, you are the enemy of your
actions. This is your second person, who turns off the alarm before an
important meeting in the morning and constantly presses the snooze button to
miss the train. You can't believe the morning devil, but you can overcome
it by changing your morning routine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

than you</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I don't know where this
tradition of jumping at the sound of the alarm clock came from, but for some
reason we are happy with our daily shock therapy. Instead of voluntarily
attacking an alarm clock that flashes wildly every morning, find an alarm clock
that wakes you slowly and gently. Waking up slowly allows your body to
acknowledge that it is waking up. When your brain really wakes up, you
won't want to break through the noise you hate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

time and wake up with the aroma. Or an alarm clock that gently glows to
mimic a sunrise. It feels like the sun is rising in the body and it's

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Or try a smart alarm
clock for a fitness band. It will wake you up with a vibration on your
wrist during your REM sleep cycle, but won't disturb your partners and they
won't want to kill you for getting up early. By the way, it helps to wake
up a cat, dog or child who decides to walk on your face at 5 in the morning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I personally use the
Warmly app with my default alarm clock on my smartphone. I am gently
awakened by 5 minutes of birds chirping and finally by Yo-Yo Ma's vibrating
violin. Defeat the morning devil by starting with the alarm clock.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Developing good habits
isn't rocket science, it can be learned quickly. A simple strategy for
acquiring good habits and breaking bad ones is to set reasonable limits.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In design, we create
opportunities when we want the user to take some action. In this way,
desirable behaviors are rewarded (easier for the user) and undesirable
behaviors are discouraged (these behaviors are harder to perform).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If you need to get into
the habit of not turning off your alarm in the morning, create multiple
barriers to turning it off. Set a few alarms, download them to your
smartphone that won't ring until you solve the puzzle, put your phone in the
jar and close it. I want to go to sleep with my smartphone in my arms, and
when I wake up look at social media. But if I decide to get up early, I'll
have to ditch it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-themecolor: text1;">Force yourself to drink coffee</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">For those of you who
have survived the struggle with the pillow, gotten rid of it, and even seemed
to wake up, another problem awaits you: you want to go back to sleep. You
are still very young and have a lot of time ahead of you, so why not get up
early tomorrow? Oh, I listen to that song every day and it lures me to
bed. Morning me is the scary type. So let's kick it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">You can prepare coffee
as usual. Stand up and pour coffee into the coffee maker or put the kettle
on to brew instant coffee. But be prepared that your morning monster will
not lead you to the kitchen. His goal is to get you back to bed with all
his might, and he will ignore your attempts to reach for the refreshing drink.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: text1;">Coffee should be integrated into your wake-up
routine. The goal is to make the alarm clock a habit of drinking
coffee. The alarm goes off - you drink coffee. Experiments on the
automation of the beverage preparation process.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">At first I tried to
start making coffee on the alarm clock. But I couldn't get into the
kitchen. Then I brewed coffee at night and put it on my desktop. But
I did not sit at the table. Finally, I started making a cup of coffee on
my smartphone. In other words, I had to remove the cup to turn off the
alarm. Not drinking coffee when it's in your hand is total
weakness. Make five in the morning the start of your workday, grab a
coffee, and build your startup.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">By the way, another easy
way to learn how to get up early: Twitter will help you. With help,
schedule a tweet like this in the morning: "I want to get up at 5 a.m. If
you see this tweet and reply within 5 minutes, I'll send you 100
rubles." Schedule a tweet at 5:15. You have 15 minutes to get up
and cancel or you will have to pay the lucky draw fee.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I spend an absurd amount
of time looking at funny cats on Reddit, Imgur, and 9GAG. I refresh the
page again and again hoping to see something new there. Although I know
there is nothing new there.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: text1;">Looking at funny pictures before bed can help you sleep,
and seeing them in the morning can help you wake up.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If you look at your
smartphone or computer screen first thing in the morning, it really helps to
wake you up. Blue light from LED screens affects melanopsin photopigment
and suppresses melatonin production, as a result of which we lose the feeling
of sleepiness.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If you can't jump right
into your startup in the morning, spend some time playing on your smartphone or
computer until the morning demons subside.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">And I got up after
defeating myself. And I don't want to start my day fixing server

bonus of getting back to the crib.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Do you know why all this
doesn't work? 88% of people don't achieve it because raising the bar is
unrealistic. "I want to fight world hunger" and "I'm going
to push the press" (although I've never been to the gym since
school). It's not Miss Universe, so why waste money?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

explores how small things turn into big changes. The goal is not to do a
big job in the morning for the benefit of the startup, but at least to start
doing something. Once you've got your engine running, you'll find it
easier to move on to more serious business.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

just one tooth. Just one tooth is your goal for the day. Cleared -

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Break your project down
into micro-steps that you can do in the morning when you're half
asleep. Develop your app by adding one line of code a day. Write blog
posts one paragraph at a time. Add one sketch per day to your
portfolio. By adding a little bit each day, you're more likely to create
your own, rather than trying to spend a full day. And as soon as you get
close to launching a startup, you won't want to go to sleep in the morning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It's hard to believe,
but no one understands how a project will turn out at the beginning. Even
the current monsters took some time to find their feet. Airbnb survived by
selling Obama O and Cap'n McCain cereal with political leaders painted on the
packaging. Slack was born out of the failed game Glitch. Even YouTube
started as a video dating service called Tune in Hook Up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Micro-startups fit well
with the Lean Startup approach (read more about it in Eric Ries' book Startup
Business). Micro startups are easier to launch and provide a shorter
feedback loop, allowing you to stay in touch with your
audience. Considering that 75% of startups fail, would you rather sit in a
basement for 100 days inventing something that appeals to your audience, or
constantly engage with customers to build a project that fits your needs?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">When I founded Krown.io,
I described the function of the service as: "A bookmarking blogging
platform". After a while, I realized that most people don't know what
"annotation" is. We tested smart blog, featured blog, feedback
blog and contextual blog platform. Here's the surprising thing: people
still don't understand what we mean. Next, we added the phrase
"Select text and add a comment to the selected area" below the
title...<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">We all have an
irrational fear that once we submit our project, trolls from all over the world
will join us and express their displeasure at us. The truth is, they don't
care. There is so much going on in the world every day that you have to
try to get noticed. It's not an easy job, you really have to stand out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If you can't get up
early and create it yourself, why is it popular? It's like he's worried
about becoming a Harvard professor if he studies too much. If you've been
struggling with your work for a long time, publicizing it will help you get up
early and finish it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-themecolor: text1;">Keep a daily project log on

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The blog will be useful
in any case for further promotion of the project. If you start writing
down what's going on in your startup every day before you launch, it will help
in the following ways.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Barbell Theory of Antifragility, you should allocate 20% of your resources to
high-risk, high-reward activities (starting a business, bungee jumping) and 80%

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The term
"startup" was first coined by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Steve
Blank, who has successfully launched at least eight innovative projects. According
to his definition, a startup is a temporary organization created to search for
a repeatable and easily scalable business model. However, this definition
is vague and interpreted differently in each industry and business area.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">However, there are
several characteristics of startups that most entrepreneurs and investors
recognize:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">A startup is a company
that has just been established and is in the development stage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The ability to grow
without geographic limitations is a key difference between startups and other
types of small businesses. Small stores and coffee shops are not designed
for rapid growth. Real startups can match the financial performance of
Volkswagen or Samsung anywhere in a few years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The basis of ideas is
innovation. Startups are always based on the use of innovative
technologies, or the implementation of new interesting ideas, or products that
have never been produced before.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Lack of start-up
funds. In the early days, startups were called garage businesses because
their founders didn't have the money to pay for their basic
expenses. Opportunity attracts millions of people to startups. But
due to funding issues, startups are forced to register on crowdfunding
platforms that seek investors and raise money to find attractive ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Uncertainty,
predictability and business plan are well defined. Due to these qualities,
startups are on the one hand more vulnerable than other types of
businesses. On the other hand, it allows you to find effective iterations,
quickly test the viability of a business model, and be flexible to market
changes and customer needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The classic image of a

factors that influence the success of a startup.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Idea. Its success
cannot be predicted, but it should be distinguished by its originality,
originality and practicality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Team. Team
interest, professionalism, and unity are essential to the successful and
competent development of a startup. Without such a team, the idea cannot
be brought to market.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Money. Before
starting the search for financing, it is important to make the project
attractive to investors. For example, creating a promotional version of
the product, creating a business plan for the coming months, arguing about the
feasibility of the chosen business model. An additional factor that
increases confidence in a startup is own investment, at least minimal investment,
in its development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Time. Bill Gross,
the owner of the world's first business incubator Idealab, conducted a survey
of 200 companies founded on his platform. He found that time is the most
powerful factor in the success of a startup. It's important to keep your
ideas fresh and market when consumers are ready to accept them. Being
"on top of the wave" and intelligently assessing people's readiness
for new products is a key quality of a startup.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Startup Genome found
that 94% of startups close within the first three years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Main reasons for
failure:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">misuse of investment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Creating a business
concept is a learnable skill.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">To create a successful
startup idea, you need the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Decide for yourself
which activity brings you the most pleasure. An idea that attracts people
will bring success in business. Oftentimes, hobbies tell us what to do in
life.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Check out the latest
innovations and innovations in various industries. Read about them on the
Internet and use them in your daily life.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Be an expert in a
certain area, or even better - in several areas. In many fields, you can
be successful with a certain amount of experience. If a person specializes
in several fields at once, it significantly increases his chances of
success. There are many unrealized ideas at the intersection of the IT
industry and government agencies, the culinary arts, and commerce.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Ability to solve
problems. A startup should practice this: think about what is hindering him
and the people around him, and find a ready-made solution to this
discomfort. For example, the popular photo-sharing website Flickr was born
out of the development of an online game. Its creators couldn't find a
convenient and simple storage place to store user photos, so they decided to
create it themselves. As a result, few people will remember this game by
2019, and Flickr is used by millions of people around the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Improve what is
there. It is necessary to observe what people use every day, what causes
them negative emotions - renting an apartment, receiving documents. Think
of ways to help people do it easier and better.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Copy, but do it
better. Many famous companies have started as clones but have added their
own twist to existing successful business models. It can be an unusual
distribution channel, an attractive promotion for customers or a special
guarantee of quality. The same applies to products - old things
"sound" completely different after upgrading or adding a few options.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Follow global market
conditions. New fashion trends are constantly emerging in business circles
- today there is a demand for mini-gardens, tomorrow there will be a co-working
space for mothers. Such trends are unevenly distributed around the
world. You can take the time to get inspired by new ideas and create your
own thing before it becomes a public phenomenon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Travel. It is good
to see the world through the eyes of people from other countries and study
their achievements, lifestyle and culture. The best abroad often succeeds
at home.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Consider creating
special options for new markets. New products released by successful
market participants promise great opportunities for those who can quickly
respond to changes and compensate for them in an original way. The use of
Bitcoin, Facebook services, large construction projects - all this attracts the
attention of investors and enterprising businessmen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Meet successful
people. Many businessmen have more ideas in their arsenal than
implementation. I. Musk gave the idea of producing and selling solar
panels to his relatives. Currently, their company, SolarCity, generates
billions of dollars in annual revenue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">The most interesting startup ideas from around the world</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Before you start
creating a business model, it can be useful to familiarize yourself with the
most interesting startups that have recently appeared or are gaining momentum.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">However, the following
projects are already considered successful and bring profit to their owners.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Tableware does not
pollute the environment and does not need to be disposed of or
washed. This idea attracts customers with its originality and innovation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">While pursuing the same
goal, different companies pursue it in different ways.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In 2017, the KFC fast
food chain offered its customers a cup of coffee. The inside of the
"dish" is coated with a special heat-resistant chocolate, and the
outside is painted with sugar in the company's style. The layer of
chocolate makes the drink slightly sweeter and prevents it from spilling
out. Of course, coffee cannot stay in such a container for a long time -
it is better to drink it immediately, but this will not disturb the guests at
all. You can choose not only the taste of the cup, but also its aroma to
attract more interest to customers with novelty. Freshly cut grass,
coconut oil, wild flowers - such aromas, according to the creators of food
containers, will help you fully enjoy your drink.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">There are jellies or
marmalade-like edible jars in various flavors, such as orange, raspberry,
apple, and cherry. They are suitable for serving alcoholic drinks and
juices. </span><a href="https://epolis-nsg.ru/mn/recept-zasolki-ogurcov-na-mineralnoi-vode-hrustyashchie.html"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-themecolor: text1; padding: 0in;">mineral water</span></a><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"> and ice cream.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Do not eat only a cup
after a meal. ButtFoods recently launched a 2nd meal plate made of
specially baked bread, vegetable and fruit strings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In Japan, startup
entrepreneurs simultaneously came up with the idea of making dishes from
flour, salt and water in several restaurants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In France, the soup is
served on a special cheese plate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In Spain, Monier, a
designer, experimented with cooking food based on rice flour, adding plant
extracts and seeds to it. "Green" food is expected to be
particularly popular with picnickers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Such start-ups improve
the environment and positively affect the income of the
organization. After all, food plates and bowls are not only designed for
serving food, but also make a profit and position themselves as tasty and
stylish innovations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This innovation is
intended to replace outdated hygiene practices in public catering
establishments. Visitors to cafes and restaurants are offered special
tablets that turn into napkins after being dipped in a special sanitizing
solution. The printed fabric "unfolds" before the customers'
eyes, acquires a pleasant aroma and becomes a hand sanitizer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Often, startups are not
only profitable, but also reflect the social values of society. In the
Danish supermarket BeFood, they display products that should be excluded in
other stores. On the shelves, you can see expired products, dents, and
semi-finished products with torn packaging. This project reduced the
amount of food waste in Denmark by a quarter. Thanks to its
implementation, thousands of people who were forced to save money were able to
start eating a variety of nutritious foods.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If you start producing
not only light bulbs, but also lamps that simulate daylight, manufacturing
lighting equipment can be a great business idea. Such light is not only
much more pleasant than "regular" artificial, but also more
useful. Innovative light bulbs allow you to adjust the intensity of the
light flow depending on the time of day. The disadvantage of the development
is the high price in the domestic market (about 70 dollars per unit), which
does not prevent it from gaining popularity abroad.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The earliest popular description of nanotechnology refers to the specific technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules to fabricate macro-scale products, also known today as nanotechnology. molecular nano Later, a more general description of nanotechnology has been established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative , which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one possible dimension. sizes from 1 to 100 nanometers . This definition reflects the fact that the effectsQuantum mechanics is very important at this quantum field scale , and so the definition has shifted from being a specific technological goal to a research category that includes all types of research and technology for dealing with objects. special properties of matter. below the given size threshold. Therefore, it is common to refer to the plural form "nanotechnology" as well as "nano-scale technology" to refer to a wide range of studies and applications that are characterized by size in common.</p><p>Size-defined nanotechnology is naturally vast, encompassing scientific fields as diverse as surface science , organic chemistry , molecular biology , semiconductor physics , and energy storage. quality , engineering , microfabrication , and molecular engineering . Related studies and applications are equally diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to entirely new approaches based on molecular self-assembly , from developfrom novel materials with dimensions on the nanoscale to direct manipulation of matter at the atomic scale.</p><p>Scientists are currently debating the implications of nanotechnology in the future. Nanotechnology can create many new materials and devices with a wide range of applications , such as in nanomedicine , nanoelectronics , energy biomaterials production and consumer products. On the other hand, nanotechnology poses many of the same problems as any new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials, [9] and the potential effects of nanomaterials. them for the global economy, as well as speculation about doomsday scenariosdifference. These concerns have led to a debate between advocacy groups and governments over whether nanotechnology regulations are warranted. </p><p>The concepts of nanotechnology were first discussed in 1959 by renowned physicist Richard Feynman in his talk There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom , in which he described the possibility of synthesis through direct manipulation. with atoms.</p><p>In 1961, Egyptian engineer Mohamed Atalla and Korean engineer Dawon Kahng at Bell Labs fabricated the first MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) with an oxide gate thickness of 100 nm , along with port length 20 µm . [10] In 1962, Atalla and Kahng fabricated a nanolayer -base metal junction semiconductor (MS coupling) transistor which used a gold (Au) thin film with a thickness of 10 nm .</p><p><br /></p><p>The term "nanotechnology" was first used by Norio Taniguchi in 1974, although it is not widely known. Inspired by Feynman's concepts, K. Eric Drexler used the term "nanotechnology" in his 1986 book Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology , proposing the idea of an "installation house" assembly" nanoscale can create a copy of itself and of other items of arbitrary complexity with atomic control. Also in 1986, Drexler co-founded the Foresight Institute (to which he is no longer a part) to help increase public awareness and understanding of nanotechnology concepts and implications.</p><p>The emergence of nanotechnology as a field in the 1980s occurred through the convergence of the theoretical and public work of Drexler, which developed and popularized a conceptual framework for nanotechnology, and highly visible experimental advances draw attention on a broader scale to the atom-driven prospect of matter. Since its popularity spiked in the 1980s, most nanotechnology has involved the study of some approach to making mechanical devices from a small number of atoms.</p><p>During the 1980s, two major breakthroughs accelerated the development of nanotechnology in the modern era. First, the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope in 1981, which provided unprecedented images of individual atoms and bonds, and was successfully used to manipulate individual atoms in 1989. Microscope developers Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer at IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory received the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physics.</p><p>Second, fullerenes were discovered in 1985 by Harry Kroto , Richard Smalley and Robert Curl , who together won the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry . C60 was not originally described as a technology. nano; The term has been used in connection with subsequent work with related graphene tubes (called carbon nanotubes and sometimes called Bucky tubes), suggesting potential applications for electronics and devices. nano size. The discovery of carbon nanotubes was largely attributed to NEC 's Sumio IijimaNEC in 1991, for which Iijima won the 2008 inaugural Kavli Prize in Nanoscience .</p><p>In 1987, Bijan Davari led an IBM research group that demonstrated the first MOSFET with 10 nm gate oxide thickness , using tungsten gate technology . Multi-gate MOSFETs allow scaling below 20 nm gate length , starting with FinFET (fin-field-effect transistor), a three-dimensional, non-planar, dual-gate MOSFET.FinFET originated with research by Digh Hisamoto at Hitachi Central Research Laboratory in 1989. At UC Berkeley, FinFET devices were built by a team that included Hisamoto along with TSMC 's Chenming Hu and other international researchers including Tsu-Jae King Liu , Jeffrey Bokor, Hideki Takeuchi, K. Asano, Jakub Kedziersk, Xuejue Huang, Leland Chang, Nick Lindert, Shibly Ahmed and Cyrus Tabery. The group made FinFET devices down to 17nm in 1998, and then to 15nm in 2001. In 2002, a team including Yu, Chang, Ahmed, Hu, Liu, Bokor, and Tabery built the FinFET device. 10nm size .</p><p>By the early 2000s, the field had attracted increasing attention from scientific, political, and commercial circles, leading to both controversy and progress. Controversy has arisen regarding the definitions and potential implications of nanotechnology, as evidenced by the report of the Royal Society for Nanotechnology. Challenges have been raised regarding the feasibility of the applications envisioned by proponents of molecular nanotechnology, which culminated in a public debate between Drexler and Smalley in 2001. and 2003. </p><p>Meanwhile, the commercialization of products based on advances in nanoscale technology began to emerge. These products are limited to mass applications of nanomaterials and do not involve atomic control of matter. Some examples include Silver Nano platform to use silver nanoparticles as antibacterial agent, nanoparticle- based transparent sunscreen , carbon fiber enhancement using silica nanoparticles, and carbon nanotubes for textiles anti-stain.</p><p>Governments have moved to promote and fund research in nanotechnology, such as in the US with the National Nanotechnology Initiative , which formalized the size-based definition of nanotechnology and establish funding for research on the nanoscale and in Europe through the European Framework Programs for Research and Technology Development .</p><p>By the mid-2000s, serious and renewed scientific interest began to develop. Projects that appear to offer a nanotechnology roadmap focus on the precise atomic manipulation of matter and discuss existing and planned possibilities, goals, and applications.</p><p>In 2006, a team of Korean researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the National Fab Nano Center developed a 3 nm MOSFET, the world's smallest nanoelectronic device . It is based on full- gate FinFET (GAA) technology. More than 60 countries created government nanotechnology research and development (R&D) programs between 2001 and 2004. Government funding has exceeded corporate spending on research and development nanotechnology development, with the majority of funding coming from corporations based in the United States, Japan, and Germany. The top five institutions that filed the most intellectual property patents on nanotechnology R&D between 1970 and 2011 were Samsung Electronics (first 2,578), Nippon Steel (first 1,490), IBM (1,360 ). first patent), Toshiba (first 1,298 patents) and Canon(1,162 first patents). The top five institutions that published the most scientific papers on nanotechnology research between 1970 and 2012 were the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Russian Academy of Sciences , the Center National de la recherche scientifique , the University of Tokyo and the University of Tokyo.

They come from cyclical or constant natural phenomena induced by the stars : the Sun mainly for the heat and light it produces, but also the attraction of the Moon ( tides ) and the heat generated by the Earth ( geothermal energy ).). Their renewable character depends on the one hand on the speed at which the source is consumed, and on the other hand on the speed at which it is renewed.</p><p>The expression “renewable energy” is the short and usual form of the expressions “renewable energy sources” or “energy of renewable origin”, which are more correct from a physical point of view .</p><p>The share of renewable energies in global final energy consumption was estimated in 2018 at 17.9%, including 6.9% of traditional biomass ( wood , agricultural waste , etc. ) and 11.0% of renewable energies " plants”: 4.3% of heat produced by thermal renewable energies (biomass, geothermal, solar ), 3.6% from hydroelectricity , 2.1% for other electric renewables ( wind , solar , geothermal, biomass, biogas ) and 1% for biofuels ; their share in electricity production was estimated in 2018 at 26.4%.</p><p>Intermittent renewable energies cannot modulate their production according to electricity demand . In the absence of large-scale energy storage , they must therefore be coupled with rapidly modulating electricity sources , such as those operating with a fossil fuel ( coal or gas- fired power stations ), hydroelectric energy or nuclear energy .</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Definition elements </h2><p>The Sun is the main source of different forms of renewable energy: solar radiation is the energy vector for transporting usable energy (directly or indirectly) during photosynthesis , or in the water cycle (which allows ' hydroelectricity ) and the energy of the waves , the difference in temperature between the surface waters and the deep waters of the oceans ( thermal energy of the seas ) or even the ionic diffusion caused by the arrival of fresh water in the sea water ( osmotic energy). This solar energy, combined with the rotation of the Earth , is at the origin of the winds ( wind energy ) and marine currents ( tidal turbine ).</p><p>The Earth's internal heat ( geothermal ) is equated with a form of renewable energy, and the Earth-Moon system generates the tides of the oceans and seas allowing the development of tidal energy .</p><p>Solar energy like the internal heat of the Earth come from nuclear reactions ( nuclear fusion in the case of the Sun, nuclear fission in that of the internal heat of the Earth).</p><p>Fossil fuels and minerals ( fissile isotopes ) are not renewable energy sources, resources being consumed at a rate far greater than the rate at which they are naturally created or available.</p><p>The expression “renewable and recovered energies” (Renewable and R&R) is sometimes used when we add to renewable energies the recovery of the heat produced by various productive activities 1 .</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">History </h2><p>For most of its history, humanity has had only renewable energies to cover its energy needs. In the Paleolithic , the only energies available were human muscle power and usable biomass energy through fire ; but many advances have made it possible to use these energies with increasing efficiency (inventions of increasingly efficient tools).</p><p>The most significant advancement was the invention of animal traction , which came later than the domestication of animals. It is estimated that man began to hitch cattle to ploughs or wheeled vehicles during the 4th millennium BC. These techniques , invented in the former Fertile Crescent or in Ukraine , subsequently experienced worldwide development 2 .</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">The invention of the sailboat was an important step forward for the development of trade in the world.</h3><p>That of water and windmills also brought considerable additional energy. Fernand Braudel describes as "the first mechanical revolution" the gradual introduction, from the 11th century to the 13th century , of water and windmills: "these 'primary engines' are undoubtedly of modest power, from 2 to 5 hp n 1for a water wheel, sometimes five, at most ten for the blades of a windmill. But, in a power-poor economy, they represent a considerable power boost. Older, the water mill is much more important than the wind turbine. It does not depend on the irregularities of the wind, but on the water, which is basically less capricious. It is more widely diffused, because of its age, the multiplicity of rivers and streams,...” 3 .</p><p>At the end of the 18th century , on the eve of the industrial revolution , almost all of humanity's energy needs were still supplied by renewable energies. In an attempt to assess the distribution of consumption by energy source , Fernand Braudel estimates the share of animal traction at more than 50%, about 25% that of wood, 10 to 15% that of water mills, 5 % that of human power and a little more than 1% that of the wind for the merchant navy; he renounces quantifying the part of the windmills, for lack of data, while specifying:“Wind turbines, fewer in number than waterwheels, can only represent a quarter or a third of the power of controlled waters” 3 . We can therefore evaluate the total share of wind energy (sailing + windmills) between 3 and 5%. For the record, he mentions river shipping, the navy, charcoal and earth.</p><p>The appearance of the steam engine , then of the Diesel engine , led to the decline of water mills and wind energy in the 19th century; water and windmills have disappeared, replaced by industrial mills . Hydraulic energy experienced a new golden age with hydroelectricity, which appeared in Switzerland, Italy, France and the United States at the end of the 19th century .</p><p>In the 19th century, François de Larderel developed techniques for using geothermal energy in Italy .</p><p>In the 1910s, the first individual solar water heaters appeared in California. In 1911, the first geothermal power station was built in Larderello .</p><p>In the middle of the 20th century, wind energy was only used for pleasure boating and for pumping (agriculture, polders) .</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, wind turbines reappeared, benefiting from more efficient techniques from aviation; their development gained momentum from the 1990s. Solar thermal and photovoltaic solar developed in the early 2000s. Under the effect of technological progress and economies of scale linked to the growing volumes installed, the sectors of renewable energy production, still emerging in the early 2000s, are seeing their costs evolve rapidly.</p><p>Since the end of the 20th century, in response to the onset of oil scarcity, to the negative climatic and health impacts of carbon energies 6 , as well as to the nuclear accidents at Chernobyl 7 and Fukushima 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 and controversies over the treatment of radioactive waste from the nuclear industry 7, 9 , 12 , a worldwide reorientation towards renewable energies has been observed 13.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>Lukman Kurniawanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05545996342149949171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595057824785165013.post-48476552315824731762023-04-06T19:14:00.048-07:002023-04-06T19:14:00.156-07:00Environmentally friendly containers create trust and peace of mind.

Food containers and packaging create a convenient and prosperous society, but on the other hand, they are thrown away as garbage after use, causing various environmental problems.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">By using environmentally friendly containers, you can contribute to solving many environmental problems such as the depletion of fossil resources, global warming, and garbage problems. However, even if only some companies and individuals use environmentally friendly containers, it will not lead to the solution of environmental problems. We will explain why all businesses should use environmentally friendly containers from the three perspectives of "corporate social responsibility," "long-term development and prosperity of the market," and "expansion of business sales."</p><h4 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">corporate social responsibility</h4><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Companies provide products and services that are useful to the world and receive money in return for their operation. However, if the pursuit of short-term profits neglects environmental measures and consideration for employees, it will be difficult to continue to develop.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Therefore, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), which is the idea that companies should not only pursue profits but also fulfill social responsibilities such as dealing with environmental problems and human rights problems, has been emphasized in recent years. is coming.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted at the United Nations Summit in 2015 to solve environmental and human rights issues facing the world. Unlike CSR, the SDGs have 17 specific goals and 169 targets, and companies are required to solve each goal as a business. For this reason, many companies have started to incorporate the SDGs into their business plans and take action to fulfill their social responsibilities</p><h4 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">Long-term development and prosperity of the market</h4><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">There are many major environmental issues such as global warming, air pollution, depletion of fossil resources, and marine plastic litter. If these problems are left unaddressed, there is a possibility that the resources that will be the raw materials for the products will not be available, and the business itself will not be able to continue, or the market itself will disappear. Therefore, in this day and age, it is an essential condition for companies to work on environmental conservation to protect themselves and the market, and to develop and prosper in the long term.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Companies that care about the environment gain the trust of the local community, gain employee satisfaction, and increase the number of job seekers who want to work for the company. In addition, as the momentum to achieve the SDGs is increasing worldwide, many companies are aiming to be environmentally friendly, and we can expect the expansion and continuous development of business partners who share the goal.</p><h4 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">Business sales expansion</h4><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">With the global awareness of SDGs and the spread of the problem of marine plastic litter, not only companies but also consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious than before. Recently, the concept of “ethical consumption,” which means purchasing and consuming products and services that contribute to environmental conservation and the community and society, has become widespread. Taking food containers as an example, if you buy the same bento, you want to buy products that use environmentally friendly containers or stores that use them.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">For this reason, it is believed that a company's consideration for the environment not only improves the image of the company in the eyes of local communities, employees, and consumers, but is also directly linked to consumer purchasing activities. In addition, since the possibility of being evaluated by other companies and markets with environmental conservation goals increases, it will lead to the development of new business partners and markets, which will lead to an increase in business sales.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">General consumers are becoming more and more interested in environmental issues every year, and we hear many voices saying that they want to purchase products that are as environmentally friendly as possible, and that if they do the same shopping, they want to purchase products that are as environmentally friendly as possible. In some cases, there are cases where the use of environmentally friendly food containers and packaging is a condition of delivery and sales.</p><h3 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">Three environmental problems we are facing</h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Three of the most important environmental issues are:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">These issues cannot be discussed separately because they are connected rather than independent issues. For example, resource and food shortages are partly due to global warming and extreme weather, and each is related. Here, we will discuss three environmental issues in detail.</p><h4 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">Resource and food shortage crisis</h4><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">It is said that Japan has entered an era of declining birthrate and aging population since a few years ago, but the world population is increasing by about 83 million every year. As a result, the world's energy consumption and food consumption continue to increase year by year. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global energy consumption in 2040 will increase by about 1.3 times compared to 2014, and most of the increase will be in Asia, including China and India. It is predicted that it will be an emerging country.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Emerging countries have achieved significant economic development in recent years, and this growth is expected to accelerate further in the future. Along with this, the demand for fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas, which support the economy, is expected to increase.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Proved reserves of energy resources are the currently confirmed reserves of each resource that can be mined within an economically rational range divided by the annual production volume. Is it possible to collect resources?" Proved reserves of these energy resources are estimated to be more than 100 years for coal and uranium, and about 50 years for oil and natural gas. In the future, new oil fields and mines will be discovered, and this number may change due to technological innovation, but there is no change in the fact that fossil fuels are a "limited resource" that will eventually run out.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;"><br /></p><h4 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">Global warming and accompanying abnormal weather</h4><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Global warming is one of the major problems in climate change. Global warming is a phenomenon in which a large amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide cover the earth's sky, raising the temperature of the earth and disrupting the balance of the natural world.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">As the global temperature rises, various natural disasters, abnormal weather, and impacts on ecosystems are occurring. In Japan, there are frequent torrential rains and stronger typhoons, and when looking at the rest of the world, floods, forest fires, hurricanes, and prolonged droughts due to changes in rainfall patterns.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;"><br /></p><h4 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">Limitations of the garbage disposal function</h4><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Among environmental problems, the garbage problem is a particularly serious and familiar problem. Japan incinerates a large amount of garbage, but it is said that landfill sites (final disposal sites) will be full in the next 20 years.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Currently in Japan, 55 million tons of household waste is generated annually, and 4 million tons of industrial waste is discarded. Japan has the largest number of incinerators in the world and reduces garbage to a minimum size. We have exported waste plastics that can be reclaimed and recycled as resources to China and other Asian countries. However, in 2018, China announced a ban on the import of waste plastic, and other Asian countries also decided to ban the import of waste. It's gone.</p><h3 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">A movement to remove plastic. From plastic to paper</h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Plastic is a material that is durable, stable, and highly convenient, but because it cannot be easily decomposed, it has led to the problem of waste plastic garbage and marine plastics. The problem of marine plastics came to be recognized worldwide after an image of a sea turtle stuck in its nose with a plastic straw. In the movement to eliminate plastics, other plastic products such as food containers are now being considered for switching to paper products.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;"><br /></p><h4 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">Why plastic is seen as a problem</h4><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">The amount of plastics used on the earth is increasing explosively, and 300 million tons of plastic waste is discharged annually. is illegally dumped or incinerated. If this situation continues, it is predicted that the amount of plastic waste that has flowed into the sea will exceed the amount of fish in the sea in 30 years. The problems of resource depletion, marine plastic litter, and global warming will continue to expand and threaten human life.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;"><br /></p><h4 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">Developed countries announce bans on plastic use</h4><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">France has banned the use of plastic packaging containers from 2020, Italy, China and India have also banned the use of plastic bags, and other countries have also banned the use of plastic bags and cutlery. Even if the use is not banned, there are many moves to reduce the amount used, such as charging for plastic shopping bags. From July 1, 2020, Japan will start charging for plastic shopping bags, and the trend is to further reduce the amount of plastic used in the future.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;"><br /></p><h4 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">Japan's stance on plastic-free</h4><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">In May 2019, a policy for plastic waste countermeasures was announced as a plastic resource recycling strategy. Further promote the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) and proper disposal of plastics, and promote innovation as a countermeasure against global resource and waste constraints, marine plastic problems, and global warming. It is intended to</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Specifically, from July 1, 2020, we will start charging for plastic shopping bags. Rather than simply aiming to reduce plastic shopping bags, we have announced that we will promote lifestyle changes, reduce one-way plastics, and promote appropriate alternatives to renewable resources. Goals have been announced for reducing cumulative one-way plastics by 25% by 2030, reusing and recycling 60% of containers and packaging, and introducing approximately 2 million tons of biomass plastics.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;"><br /></p><h3 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">Introduction of eco-friendly containers</h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">There are many options for eco-friendly containers such as non-plastic materials and biomass plastics, but here we will introduce the WB series and BB series, which are molded containers made from naturally derived non-plastic materials.</p><h4 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">WB series</h4><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1;">Wheat + Bagasse Molded pulp container made from wheat husk and bagasse.

been interested in robots for a long time. The robot has intelligent
actions, is very resourceful and can work non-stop. Sci-fi movies have
brought robots to life, and even though the plot is exaggerated, robots will
still be an integral part of our future. Most of the time, robots serve
humans and interact in a friendly manner, but sometimes they are also
aggressive towards humans and have a mission to conquer, enslave, or destroy
humanity.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">In
general, we believe that robots will benefit our progress and that humans can
control robots and use them for good. However, some people feel that
robots can invade our lives, take away jobs and turn against
humans. Therefore, it is important that we begin to consider social,
ethical and legal issues, as well as the role robots play in our lives.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The
problem that robots can easily creep into our daily lives is very important,
especially now, as </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">technology and artificial
intelligence (AI)</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> continue to advance at a rapid
pace. The European Parliament classifies AIs as "Electric
People", and believes that they will be
human-like and may even surpass human intellectual abilities one day. This
leaves us with a very important question. Who will be in control?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Playwright
Karel Čapek was the first to pose such a problem in Rossum's Universal Robots
(RUR) which was first performed on January 25, 1921. Derived from “robota”
which means “forced labor” in Czechoslovakia, the word “robot” was invented by
his brother, the theater actor Josef Čapek. The play is about robots that
are human-like biological entities created to work in place of humans, As time
goes on, the robots gradually take over all jobs and humanity gradually becomes
more and more human. so useless, no longer able to contribute positively to
society. In the end, the robots, disgusted with the status of working
slaves for humans, decided to destroy the useless existence of humanity,
leaving only one human being still able to work. In fact, the man was
saved only because he was able to create more robots. However, The
previous recipe for the robot was destroyed by its creator shortly after the
robots were created, and the last surviving human failed to reproduce the
recipe. In the turning point at the end of the play, two robots feel love
and live happily together, leaving the audience with the impression that they
will perpetuate their race and form the foundation for a civilization new.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">In
order to protect humanity from the catastrophic fate that Karel Čapek's play
poses, writer Isaac Asimov created the </span><strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">"Three
Laws for Robots"</span></strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> in the short story
"Runaround" he composed in 1942. That law is:<o:p></o:p></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">1.
A robot must not harm a human or ignore a human being harmed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">2.
A robot must obey orders given by humans unless these commands conflict with
the first law.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">3.
A robot must protect itself provided that such protection does not conflict
with the first and second laws. </span></p></blockquote><p> </p><p>
</p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The
above rules will ensure that we can avoid extreme situations like those that
Karel Čapek set out in the play RUR However, more importantly, there are still
many problems with how to mode of interaction between people and electronic
entities to ensure usefulness, security, and social logic. The European
Parliament has opened a dialogue on </span><strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">“Rules of Civil Law on
Robots”</span></strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> . The draft report dated 31 May 2016 by Ms. Mady
Delvaux, Vice-President of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, offers a series
of proposals to help the European Commission prepare to face developments that

raising concerns about future employment and the viability of current security
and tax systems, the report warns of legal challenges, Social and ethical
issues can occur and have significant impacts on people's lives. These are
problems that can lead to increasing inequality in the distribution of wealth
and power in society. Going further, the draft report also stated that:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p><em><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">“… there is a possibility that in the next few decades, artificial

support the introduction of an advanced European robot registration system,
known as the Electronic Human system, controlled by an agency of the European
Commission. Europe. The proposals also include the establishment of laws
governing mechanisms responsible for possible damages, as well as the formation
of a system for a code of conduct to regulate process of design, development,
and interaction between humans and </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">robots, specifically aimed at ensuring safety,
privacy, integrity and dignity, as well as autonomy and data ownership.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Robots
are being deployed in unprecedented numbers in factories as well as taking on
delicate tasks such as personal care or surgery, raising fears of low
employment and inequality. in terms of income and alienation of
capacity. Some define this situation as the wake of a new industrial
revolution. </span><strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The reality is that robots already exist and we must learn to
coexist with them.</span></strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Like the European Commission, other
countries are launching similar dialogues. These important conversations
help us as humanity get the best out of the relationship between man and
machine. Experts will be needed to monitor safety, privacy, integrity,
dignity, autonomy, and data ownership. I firmly believe that TÜV Rheinland
can be an important player in this new arena.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></p><h2><o:p></o:p></h2>Lukman Kurniawanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05545996342149949171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595057824785165013.post-41806850880114785702023-03-31T22:53:00.013-07:002023-03-31T22:53:00.166-07:00Chengdu is expected to become IC's fourth city<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3b4b3g_l-VQEWKebo0mEWg_3F4IY8pIYnra0W8R-K2VrB2y51DwN-JejIffywjpNEmIUPMMOfDC0SIoRsmuCaQevAjZ9XilfZCAQarFPkrHlDvhg6YaGofnlmVchMcqg6EOIQQwL6HxTtEtdG3uWnQivGabWkcck6kkfoT6aglZm-dT6US1DsZ5_mA/s982/Chengdu%20is%20expected%20to%20become%20IC's%20fourth%20city.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="982" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3b4b3g_l-VQEWKebo0mEWg_3F4IY8pIYnra0W8R-K2VrB2y51DwN-JejIffywjpNEmIUPMMOfDC0SIoRsmuCaQevAjZ9XilfZCAQarFPkrHlDvhg6YaGofnlmVchMcqg6EOIQQwL6HxTtEtdG3uWnQivGabWkcck6kkfoT6aglZm-dT6US1DsZ5_mA/s320/Chengdu%20is%20expected%20to%20become%20IC's%20fourth%20city.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Chengdu, a red city on the web that the masses find delicious and fun.

In September 1956, under the personal deployment of Premier Zhou Enlai, the Department of Telecommunications Engineering of Jiaotong University (now Shanghai Jiaotong University, Xi'an Jiaotong University), the Department of Telecommunications of the Institute South China University of Technology (now South China University of Technology) and Nanjing Institute of Technology (now Southeast) University of Telecommunication Engineering (now China University of Electronic Science and Technology), the first radio university in China, was formed by the merger of the university's radio department.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the pursuit of "three lines of construction", a number of factories and research institutes for military and national defense services were established in Chengdu and the surrounding areas.

Chengdu has fallen into a low tide in the development of the electronic industry, especially the electronic component industry. With the release of the national "No. 18" document in 2000, the country began to exhibit "National IC Talent Training Base" and "National IC Design Industrialization Base" throughout the country. Due to the success of the electronics industry and the talent transfer advantage of the University of Electronic Science and Technology, Chengdu has become one of the "heavy cities" of integrated circuit design in China.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">During this period, a number of well-known integrated circuit design companies were established and developed in Chengdu. Among them, there are companies such as Nanshan Bridge and Fujitsu Semiconductor Design (Chengdu) that are no longer brilliant, and there are also companies such as Bump Electronics and Xinwei Electronics that are still quietly following.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With the joint investment of Chengdu Gaoxin Investment Group Co., Ltd and Chengdu Industrial Investment Group Co., Ltd, the company will cooperate with SMIC to build and manage the "Chengxin" project, and Intel will establish the world's largest packaging factory in Chengdu, Chengdu in integrated circuits.

A large number of integrated circuit design companies have experienced transformations, bankruptcies and liquidations. At the same time, in the Tianfu South District Software Park Office Building in Chengdu, a large number of mobile game companies and application development companies flourished under the spring of the mobile Internet. This was not only the factor of the general cold development of domestic integrated circuits at that time, but also the limitations of Chengdu's own industrial environment and talent. The two-phase comparison has greatly altered Chengdu's determination to continue developing integrated circuits.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With the establishment of the "big fund" of integrated circuits and the influence of various internal and external factors such as the Sino-US trade war, the development of the domestic integrated circuit industry has once again entered a development climax. However, Chengdu is more doubtful in the development of this round of the integrated circuit industry. Not only is there less than the strength and investment of Beijing, Shanghai and other cities, and even to some extent, it is not as good as cities like Hefei. Especially with the transfer of Tang Liangzhi, who has rich experience in the development of the integrated circuit industry, to Chongqing and the "Chengdu Gexin incident", the Chengdu IC industry seems to have fallen into a state of stagnant development.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But when we open the surface of these clouds and look at the core of Chengdu's integrated circuit industry, we will be pleasantly surprised that Chengdu has really become the "heavy city" of integrated circuits in China. The driving force for Chengdu to become a "heavy town" comes from power integrated circuits and systems, which are often cited by professionals as "the bottom of the despised chain of integrated circuit design."</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Talents help ICs power up quickly</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">According to informed industry sources, semiconductor industry watchers were told that Chengdu now has hundreds of power chip companies.

On the one hand, the accumulation of these talents is related to the distribution of Texas Instruments, MPS and Bumpy Electronics in Chengdu in the early years, and cultivated a large number of talents and the environment; On the other hand, the University of Electronic Science and Technology as an electronic science and technology A+ subject university, in the power integrated circuit Academic advantages and talent cultivation advantages have accelerated the rapid development of Chengdu in this field.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First, we analyze foreign companies. At the beginning of this century, leading power chip companies, including Texas Instruments, Bump Electronics and MPS, established a chip design center in Chengdu. Although it has undergone changes and advances in recent years, it has cultivated many talents in electrical chips. For example, Nanxin Semiconductor, which just got more than 100 million yuan in funding, has a lot of Texas Instruments talent in its Chengdu office. The Chengdu design team of Chengdu Ruiyuan Semiconductor and Yingmaike (Xiamen) Co Ltd of Chengdu Ruiyuan Semiconductor has former employees of MPS and Bump Electronics.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The constant transmission of power integrated circuit talents by the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is a propeller for the development of the PowerIC design company / R&D team in Chengdu. According to the official data of the Electronic Science and Technology University of China, Academician Chen Xingyu, born in 1931, is an internationally renowned microelectronics scientist who is known as the "Power China Device Leader".

Under the continuous efforts of the three generations of the old, middle and young generations, the University of Electronic Science and Technology has consolidated its position in power IC and trained a large number of talents in Chengdu and even related fields in the china This is also the talent guarantee for many power chip companies to gather in Chengdu.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In recent years, the popularity of integrated circuits has increased, and the most important sites have increased the investment attraction of projects related to integrated circuits. Relatively, Chengdu's industrial policies and investment efforts are not calculated. With its own strength and talent accumulation, it has attracted companies such as Yichong Wireless, Shanghai Nanxin, Shengbangwei, Shilanwei and Yingjixin, which have made big names in related fields in recent years. / R & D Center. In Chengdu, the enterprise power chip company and invisible power chip design team that are different from the aforementioned foreign companies are countless.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This should be a good thing for Chengdu's industrial development. However, the arrival of these large capital companies has caused some local companies to face a problem, that is, it is difficult to recruit people.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">According to a Chengdu chip company, HR told semiconductor industry observers that in recent years, the salary level of Chengdu IC talents has increased significantly.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In addition, he pointed out that this aspect is related to the heat of the integrated circuits; however, he also emphasized that this is also related to the fact that some companies that have been "rich in the first place" through funding are expanding rapidly and using higher standards than to discover people. In his opinion, this is good for engineers in the short term, but for many large companies, this will be a big blow. Because the latter with a mature compensation system will inevitably face the problem of losing senior engineers.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Although the phenomenon of human resources is not only a problem in Chengdu, but a common phenomenon in the country, Chengdu is in the IC industry compared to the northern first-tier cities, Guangzhou and Shenzhen with a relatively mature talent system, industrial base and compensation. mechanism There have been several problems in the development, such as the lack of talent and the low level of long-term income of employees. When newly funded companies that have obtained funding in Chengdu, their higher salary levels will have a greater impact on the weak talents of local companies in Chengdu. Since Chengdu has not formed a relatively strong and mature IC industry cluster for a long time, the ability to gather talents, especially those with industry experience and management ability, and high-end talent with PhD / engineering experience has been weak The flow of non-conventional talents caused by the increase in wage levels caused by the introduction of capital will inevitably hinder the overall improvement of Chengdu's industry, and it will also make Chengdu's local industrial clusters, which are difficult to obtain, return to be challenged. How to deal with and solve this challenge deserves the attention of policy makers in the Chengdu IC industry and related companies.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In addition, according to some chip industry veterans told semiconductor industry observers that, from a certain perspective, the "threshold of entry" for power chips is lower. Since the power chip does not need to pursue advanced technology and the overall size of the chip and small package, it has a lower cost of shooting than large-scale digital circuits such as CPU / GPU / SoC and complex analog circuits such as ADC / DAC / Serde. The design cycle is shorter. Therefore, the power chip design company has a long-standing phenomenon of "a dozen people and seven or eight guns", which has led to the homogenization of small companies and low-end products. How to make Chengdu power chip companies get rid of low-end competition and repetition and become a large competitive enterprise is another challenge that Chengdu IC industry officials and business leaders related have to deal with.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leading research and talent development of power technology universities in the field of power chips and power devices is the guarantee of Chengdu's rise in the field of power chips. However, in recent years, with the development of brothers and universities, especially Xidian and Southeast University in this field, Chengdian will be challenged to the position of academic research and staff training in the highlands. With Xi'an and Nanjing having more complete and more mature support systems for integrated circuits, once the advantages of the highlands and talent culture change hands, the two cities are likely to form strong competition for the power chip industry in Chengdu. This also requires local governments, enterprises and universities to promote inter-center cooperation and school-enterprise cooperation with greater determination and sincerity and truly guarantee the advantage won by Chengdu.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span><br />Lukman Kurniawanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05545996342149949171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595057824785165013.post-39660069570169928812023-03-26T21:54:00.015-07:002023-03-26T21:54:00.154-07:00Nanotechnology Public Policy in Latin America<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8uFf8uwOO3u5tJhkHi9f6dlSLPmlWni6eZYm9WsYeasiEwOcsT8KEBRDlzpw6DuQF0NDg4Ao2l3pMWKDW0_i22zAe_xc2vLYb8fcaXWc_-oCqRVTptWvCly2iVy6pzFtTCB95c88iPy5jjd-AOvU9VWxByepfJi9hMhhy-HrAqnKsOGc3sC-Q-UvfBg/s506/Nanotechnology%20Public%20Policy%20in%20Latin%20America.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="260" data-original-width="506" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8uFf8uwOO3u5tJhkHi9f6dlSLPmlWni6eZYm9WsYeasiEwOcsT8KEBRDlzpw6DuQF0NDg4Ao2l3pMWKDW0_i22zAe_xc2vLYb8fcaXWc_-oCqRVTptWvCly2iVy6pzFtTCB95c88iPy5jjd-AOvU9VWxByepfJi9hMhhy-HrAqnKsOGc3sC-Q-UvfBg/s320/Nanotechnology%20Public%20Policy%20in%20Latin%20America.png" width="320" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700; white-space: pre-wrap;">Abstract:</span></h3><span id="docs-internal-guid-2eaf8ff0-7fff-cc05-e960-fe9196300410"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many countries in Latin America have made nanotechnology a development priority in their public policy platforms. The main feature of these public policies is to provide support for nanotechnology research and development, aiming to forge ties between public institutions and universities and the private sector, to boost innovation and competitiveness. These public policies do not take into account the global context of strong capital concentration in which nanotechnologies emerge, and which makes it difficult to be competitive within the framework laid out by these public policies to develop these technologies. This paper analyzes the direction of public policy in the international context, and also suggests policy alternatives.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Introduction</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nanotechnology refers to a range of techniques used to manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular scale. Its importance resides in the fact that materials on the order of between 1 and 100 nanometers display different physical, chemical, and biological properties than the same materials would at a larger magnitude. Gold, which is not reactive on the larger scale, becomes reactive at the nanoscale and is used to manufacture sensors; carbon as graphite is soft, but carbon in nanotubes is harder than steel. Practically all chemicals behave differently at the nanoscale. This particularity permits vast modifications in the functionality of products. As a result, nanotechnology has come to be seen as the next industrial revolution.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Unlike previous technology revolutions, driven by power (the Industrial Revolution the invention of electricity, the internal combustion engine), information processing and transmission (ICT – information and communication technologies), or living beings (biotechnology), nanotechnology is centered on matter in a broader sense, because its potential resides precisely in the potential of harnessing new properties of materials. This is an Industrial Revolution that is permeating all economic sectors more or less simultaneously, because all sectors use some type of material, and these materials can be manipulated at the nanoscale to develop new features.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This Technology Revolution is recent, because it required the development of atomic microscopes at the end of the 1980s and the 1990s in order to precisely measure the new properties of materials, which in many cases were already known. Moreover, it was the launch of the National Nanotechnology Initiative in the United States in 2001 that spurred many other countries to begin investing in nanotechnology research and development in order to keep up. Nanotechnology is the Technology Revolution of the twenty-first century. According to the consultant Científica,</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since the US National Nanotechnology Initiative was announced in 2000 almost every developed and developing economy has initiated national nanotechnology programs. The world’s governments currently spend $10 billion per year on nanotechnology research and development, with that figure set to grow by 20% over the next three years.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Various reasons make it understandable why no country can be left out of this science and technology revolution. In economic terms, countries that do not produce their own nanotechnology are already importing nanotechnology products, in many cases without even being aware that they are doing so. This will produce an impact on the social division of labor and the formation of value chains, as well as undesired effects, such as potential health and environmental risks.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Scientifically and technologically speaking, researchers from diverse fields are tracking the latest developments and publications and are under pressure to educate themselves about these new nanosciences and technologies. The Internet, online scientific journals, conferences, and research networks are ensuring that researches can be aware of what is happening in the international science discussion, regardless of where they are physically located.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At the political level, international bodies such as the Organization of American States (OAS), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the World Bank (WB) have placed nanotechnology on their development cooperation agendas as a priority development area , alongside ICTs and biotechnology.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In light of this situation, it is increasingly important to reflect on how countries in Latin America are taking on this technology revolution.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Latin America Joins The Nanotechnology Revolution</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now well into the second decade of the twenty-first century, many countries in Latin America have set up nanotechnology research groups, while their governments have pointed to nanotechnology as a priority development area. Two trends have converged to lead to this outcome. On the one hand, the natural advancement of the physical and chemical sciences, which have been researching the properties of matter at the nanoscale since the 1990s. At least in some countries, such as Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina, materials science research at the nanoscale did not come about due to any specific policy in this regard. Scientific publications from the 1990s demonstrate this, although at that time the term “ultrafine particles” was more commonly used than the current nanomaterials. On the other, international organizations have exerted pressure, since the end of the 1990s, to make nanotechnology a priority area for science and technology development, together with ICTs and biotechnology.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigyPCpQpVMHkUeUxLajsmFDZYNSAF639-qPVyh9vvyoJIX085rV6OxTCiG0ik_nu0YRn3zFKcvAJYell1M7YYUjV5KILPFFwKNsdYvEN5zoC4wnnDSwViAwnMmM4wwe48rkn-bbOW-inHeXpPuChftj_f0S5Gnoy8Y4CyMYpU7pCoB5qb_qD8KxcSaxw/s471/Latin%20America%20Joins%20The%20Nanotechnology%20Revolution.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="257" data-original-width="471" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigyPCpQpVMHkUeUxLajsmFDZYNSAF639-qPVyh9vvyoJIX085rV6OxTCiG0ik_nu0YRn3zFKcvAJYell1M7YYUjV5KILPFFwKNsdYvEN5zoC4wnnDSwViAwnMmM4wwe48rkn-bbOW-inHeXpPuChftj_f0S5Gnoy8Y4CyMYpU7pCoB5qb_qD8KxcSaxw/s320/Latin%20America%20Joins%20The%20Nanotechnology%20Revolution.png" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The trend towards the homogenization of science and technology (S&T) public policy is longstanding. International institutions such as the Organization of American States (OAS), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the United Nations Organization for Education, Science, and Culture (Unesco), have long promoted common S&T policies in Latin America. The WB was a pioneer in this sense, helping to fund the Millennium Project in nanotechnology. In addition, the OECD lobbied to restructure the entire science and technology sector in Mexico, while the OAS made nanotechnology a priority area in it is advising to various countries throughout the region.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This does not mean that these policies have been applied equally in all cases, but in the majority of countries, there are some attributes in common as a result of these guidelines. One example of this isomorphism is the declaration of nanotechnology as a priority development area.displays the year in which each country launched its policy to support nanotechnology or add it is a priority development area.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Not all countries have accompanied these declarations of interest with financial support, but many have done so, at least the larger of the countries. The governments of Brazil , Argentina, and Mexico have funded research networks and multi-user labs, made available infrastructure and equipment, supported research/production clusters, and promoted competitions, frequently through public-private partnerships for nanotechnology research.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Although it is difficult to estimate public funding, analysts have cited some figures. The figure given for Argentina is generally in the realm of 50 million dollars between 2006 and 2010. For Brazil, around 190 million dollars between 2004 and 2009, as stated by the Ministry of Science and Technology, not counting funds from the states themselves, which only in the cases of San Pablo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro would be more than 60 million dollars in the same time period. In Mexico, estimates suggest approximately 60 million dollars between 2005 and 2010, and in Chile, 30 million dollars between 2005 and 2010.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The commonalities among the policies implemented by Latin American countries in nanotechnology matters (e.g., favoring support for the private sector, oriented towards boosting competitiveness, encouraging the creation of spin-offs from public universities) should not, however, conceal their differences. In Argentina, for example, public funding is explicitly allocated to small and medium-sized enterprises. In Brazil, there is a more diversified approach, seeking to integrate funding with national thematic laboratories, making this policy, as such, more aligned with national development strategies. In Mexico, there is a clear stance towards funding with no connection whatsoever to national development projects. However, despite the differences, there is a common orientation, in many cases the same as that promoted by international bodies, such as the OECD or the WB .</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, what is the explicit justification behind declaring nanotechnologies to be a priority development area and allocating public funding towards this field? In response to this question, there is once again a single and common response despite rather divergent realities: to raise competitiveness , Mexico , Argentina. This rationale assumes that developing sophisticated technologies (high-tech), will boost a country’s competitiveness on the international stage, which will engender development and improve welfare. However, this rise in competitiveness is no guarantee of welfare, as has been demonstrated in many other cases. Mexico, for example, saw its competitiveness rise right after signing the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994 and up until 2000, with a parallel increase in poverty and social divergence . The official discourse also claims that new technologies will bring with them new sources of jobs, but fail to mention that the more high-tech industries become, the fewer jobs they create. Nor does the discourse mention how this type of technology can be disruptive, leading to unemployment and the shuttering of less competitive companies, which are naturally those that employ more people. Nor does the official line acknowledge that, given the level of disaggregation and globalization of productive chains, participating in these chains in material terms does not guarantee a payoff in value received .</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The essence of this Technology Revolution is that the change is happening to the way raw materials behave. It is enough to merely introduce nano-raw materials, which in material terms of mass or volume may be insignificant, but whose final product will be extremely different from the old competition. In terms of value, however, the situation is different. The value added by incorporating nanoparticles may be completely marginal with respect to the final value of the product. Although this will depend on each specific value chain, the fact remains that the final product of nanotechnology is substantially different from the traditional competition, because it incorporates a negligible amount of nanomaterials, which in terms of value, may be a minimal difference.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Already in, a financial consultant in the nanotechnology field, was estimating the next value ratio between the three main stages of the value chain pursuant to the volume of products in the market</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Although these are rough estimates based on the total market, shows that the value of nanomaterials is about 1% of the final value of the product. The same consulting firm estimated that it would fall to half (0.5%) in the next ten years as nano-raw materials become cheaper and are made in mass production. One eloquent example of this concept is carbon nanotubes. The cost of one gram of carbon nanotubes has dropped from over 1,000 dollars at the beginning of the twenty-first century to less than 100 a decade later</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, despite adding very little value to the final product, the contribution of nanomaterials is crucial, as it endows the end product with a novel characteristic that can make it disruptive. Self-cleaning glass, nutraceutics, longer-lasting tires, more efficient solar filters, nano-ceramics capable of replacing glass, and aluminum packaging are all changes that are having a radical effect on conventional industries; however, they add very little value to the end product.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The fact that the value of nanomaterials is marginal with respect to the final value of the product requires a careful consideration, for each product, of how the value – and not only the material – behaves in the value chain. The received wisdom of nanotechnology development support programs is that they will boost competitiveness, but if the country in question is located in a stage of the value chain where the added value is marginal, even if they take part in producing final products with nanotechnology, they will not necessarily benefit economically from doing so. The case of the Apple iPhone is particularly fitting. It is manufactured with pieces made in various countries, but the assembler only earns 6.54 dollars on a final sales price of 169.41 dollars:</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As such, participating in nanotechnology value chains does not necessarily guarantee the companies or countries in question that they will benefit from these new technologies. In order to ride the nanotechnology wave, it is not enough to merely have public policies that promote nanotechnology, even when there is funding place, if there is a lack of planning about what products, what fields, and under what conditions to develop nanosciences and nanotechnology. And in coming up with national policies it is essential to understand the international context.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Conclusions</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The majority of Latin American countries do have research groups qualified in nanosciences and nanotechnology. Many of them have sophisticated teams and are on par with international centers of excellence. These groups, research centers, and specialized labs sprung up over the first decade of the twenty-first century.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nanotechnology public policy in Latin America has tended to encourage these research groups joining up with private enterprise, or even generating start-ups. The success of this sort of path is highly debatable, given the international context in which nanotechnology has emerged. Unlike what happened with ICTs or biotechnologies, the degree of capital concentration worldwide in the early 2000s, when nanotechnology burst onto the scene, was much greater than one decade earlier.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Large corporations have co-opted the principal value chains for nanotechnology. It is difficult to join a value chain without falling to a marginal spot in terms of economic benefits. Moreover, the productive orientation of large international corporations is not closely intertwined with the needs of the majority of Latin American countries, even if in some cases it could raise their international competitiveness.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Latin American countries still have quasi or fully monopolistic state enterprises in such realms as public health, energy, water, or transportation, at least in some nations. In these cases, there is the advantage of being able to set up vertically integrated production, ranging from production to consumers themselves. Research and development could be connected with production and consumption, preventing the “valleys of death” that the market generates for production. Unfortunately, this is not the path that science and technology public policy has taken.</span></p><br /><br /><h3 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nanotechnology: talking points</span></h3><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nanotechnology has stepped out of the shadows of the scientific world and into the public conciousness, and not without a couple of controversies already under its belt</span></p></span><br /><h4 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nanotechnology and health</span></h4><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In May last year, a teachers' union in Australia generated headlines and controversy across the world when it advised its members not to use sunscreens that contained nanoparticles. They were concerned that the sunscreens, which contain tiny specks of chemicals that block out the sun's rays, were not safe to be given to students.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The teachers were worried that the nanoparticles could pass through the skin and remain in the body, with possible toxic effects. Industry groups reacted angrily and said there was no evidence that the sunscreens were dangerous. Health campaigners also weighed in and pointed out that older suncreens, which the nanoparticle creams were supposed to replace, could be hazardous too, and that not wearing sunscreen at all was known to increase the risks of skin cancer.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Recently, a survey in Australia found 13% of respondents who had heard stories of risks associated with using nano-based sunscreens would consider not using any sunscreen at all.

Worn by US champion Michael Phelps and others, the suit helped swimmers to set new records, but generated controversy. Some cried foul over "technological doping" – saying the suit was too much to cheat because it helped swimmers so much. And swimmers with sponsorship deals with other manufacturers felt those wearing the new suits had an unfair head start.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In 2009, the ruling body of the sport acted on the concerns when it limited the size of suits that swimmers could wear. In London this summer, the nanotech-assisted suits will be smaller, which organizers hope will make things fairer.</span></p></span><h3 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Experts view</span></h3><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is hard to grasp just how small nanomaterials are, and so just how different nanotechnology is. If you look at one of the fine hairs on the back of your hand, that is one of the smallest structures we can see with the naked eye, and yet it is perhaps 10,000 times bigger than a nanoparticle.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Because nanotechnology operates at the smallest scales of our bodies, it is immensely powerful. We could, for example, design nanoparticles to infiltrate cancer cells and destroy them, or reengineer the capabilities of diseased livers and kidneys from the inside, cell by cell. Of course there are dangers with this approach, but when we talk about risk we have to consider the risks of not developing and using nanotechnology. Talk to anyone on dialysis or waiting for a transplant and you start to realize that there are millions of ill people for whom this technology is their best hope of a normal life.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The 21st century is likely to be the century in which we apply nanotechnology to ourselves and make it possible to reengineer the human body. This, of course, has massive social and ethical implications that we must not ignore.</span></p><br /><br /></span>Lukman Kurniawanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05545996342149949171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595057824785165013.post-50351264206637712232023-03-21T22:44:00.024-07:002023-03-21T22:44:00.166-07:00What is the Uncanny Valley - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqT5uKqjjBHmiodRghBPRcKU4Q54JWtIoOedZP1s8Z8NnLBLceyyd7iKdHxp68D58Y9HXahEZwDrWfIkfU_pWNPuPZO0hODTd3uPxRFdhO_nRUuLzieJpv3X45g3WD_bhKpHmKG5q9Ec6XE-W7HOYUfq0U_g94AvfQtFAT_KuTiD7Czqqzgi_fEjQBQQ/s425/What%20is%20the%20Uncanny%20Valley%20-%20The%20Good,%20The%20Bad,%20The%20Ugly.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="296" data-original-width="425" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqT5uKqjjBHmiodRghBPRcKU4Q54JWtIoOedZP1s8Z8NnLBLceyyd7iKdHxp68D58Y9HXahEZwDrWfIkfU_pWNPuPZO0hODTd3uPxRFdhO_nRUuLzieJpv3X45g3WD_bhKpHmKG5q9Ec6XE-W7HOYUfq0U_g94AvfQtFAT_KuTiD7Czqqzgi_fEjQBQQ/s320/What%20is%20the%20Uncanny%20Valley%20-%20The%20Good,%20The%20Bad,%20The%20Ugly.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Back in 1995, Pixar was the first company to use computer animation techniques in a feature film.

<h1>The Neuroscience of Neural Networks</h1><p>As computers get smarter, so too does the research that goes into teaching them how to think like humans. Neural networks are a type of computer model that has been used to learn how to solve problems. They are composed of interconnected nodes, or neurons, that each have a specific function.These neurons are often configured in a network fashion, which makes the neural network much more powerful than any individual neuron.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmdyDaMnDSj6NOyi1JpqjHh5hnurOWaYU5K_Rozh4r0FmcULgLvkhxLrEHHJMfaM9UThwAHYIve75HNJtj7rfLQDun8tKDEK5WqpMxRq96Bw0_-GsmQc5YugiB60xBfTn0G-lNwtytdNlfNSzMMk2whyWqgoPHDUQCPZkFps9Tc3F-6brt2TjKKYnH0w/s688/The%20Neuroscience%20of%20Neural%20Networks.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="463" data-original-width="688" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmdyDaMnDSj6NOyi1JpqjHh5hnurOWaYU5K_Rozh4r0FmcULgLvkhxLrEHHJMfaM9UThwAHYIve75HNJtj7rfLQDun8tKDEK5WqpMxRq96Bw0_-GsmQc5YugiB60xBfTn0G-lNwtytdNlfNSzMMk2whyWqgoPHDUQCPZkFps9Tc3F-6brt2TjKKYnH0w/s320/The%20Neuroscience%20of%20Neural%20Networks.png"/></a></div><h2>What is a neural network?</h2><p>A neural network is a model of the brain that has been used to learn how to solve certain problems. Neural networks are composed of interconnected nodes, or neurons, that each have a specific function. </p><p>Neural networks are used in computing to process data. They are especially useful for tasks that require high accuracy, flexibility, and robustness. neural networks can learn, but they have limitations that must be taken into account when designing them.</p><h2>How are neural networks used in computing?</h2><p>Neural networks are a model of the brain that have been used to learn how to solve certain problems. Neural networks are composed of interconnected nodes, or neurons, that each have a specific function.</p><p>One of the most common uses for neural networks is in machine learning and data mining. Neural networks are effective at learning from data and are used in a variety of applications, such as image recognition and natural language processing.</p><p>Neural networks can also be used for routing in computer networks. Neural networks are often more accurate than traditional methods for solving certain problems, such as routing in computer networks.</p><p>Another area where neural networks are used is in medical diagnosis. Neural networks are often more effective at recognizing patterns than human beings.</p><p>Despite their widespread use, there are some limitations to neural networks. For example, neural networks are not always as accurate as traditional methods when it comes to recognizing individual objects or faces.</p><h2>What are the properties of a good neural network?</h2><p>A good neural network has a large number of interconnected nodes that can learn complex tasks. This is important because it allows the network to improve over time. Additionally, a good neural network is easily scalable. This means that it can be enlarged or reduced in size without affecting its ability to learn. Lastly, a good neural network is able to form predictions based on past data. This allows the network to make assumptions about future events based on what has already happened.</p><h2>What are the different types of neural networks?</h2><p>There are three main types of neural networks: feedforward, recurrent, and deep learning. </p><p>Feedforward neural networks use input data to calculate an output result. </p><p>Recurrent neural networks are similar to feedforward neural networks in that they use input data to calculate an output result, but they also keep track of the previous output result. </p><p>Deep learning networks are the most recent type of neural network and are based on artificial intelligence. </p><p>Each type of neural network has its own advantages and disadvantages. </p><p>Feedforward neural networks are best for problems that have a simple solution. </p><p>Recurrent neural networks are better for problems that have multiple solutions. </p><p>Deep learning networks are best for problems that have no solution or are impossible to solve using other types of networks.</p><h2>How do neural networks learn?</h2><p>The process by which neural networks learn is called "backpropagation." Backpropagation was originally developed as a way to train computers to recognize certain patterns in data. Neural networks are composed of interconnected nodes, or neurons. Each neuron has a specific function. </p><p>Backpropagation begins with the input layer, which is the first layer in a neural network. This layer receives the data that will be used to make predictions. The input layer is usually made up of several neurons. These neurons are responsible for taking in the data and making predictions. </p><p>The output layer is the last layer in a neural network. The output layer is usually made up of only one neuron. This neuron is responsible for making predictions. The output layer usually interacts with the input layer indirectly. This interaction happens through the intermediary of the middle layers. </p><p>The middle layers are the most important layers in a neural network. They are responsible for helping the output layer make accurate predictions. The middle layers are also responsible for corrupting the data that reaches the output layer. This corruption helps the network learn. </p><p>Backpropagation begins by training the network on a set of data. The network is then asked to make predictions on new data. If the predictions are correct, backpropagation continues by giving the network more data that it was trained on. If the predictions are incorrect, backpropagation tries to figure out why they are incorrect and makes changes to the way that it trains the network. </p><p>Backpropagation is a powerful tool for learning how to solve problems. It is able to learn how to recognize patterns in data very quickly. Neural networks are evolving rapidly, and new methods are being developed all the time to improve their performance.</p><h2>What are the limitations of neural networks?</h2><p>Neural networks are powerful tools, but they have limitations. Neural networks are not as accurate as traditional computer models when it comes to certain tasks. They can be difficult to configure and train. Lastly, neural networks have a limited ability to recognize objects and patterns.</p><p>1. Neural networks are models of the brain that have been used to learn how to solve certain problems. </p><p>2. Neural networks are composed of interconnected nodes, or neurons, that each have a specific function. </p><p>3. The properties of a good neural network depend on the type of network and the tasks that it is to be used for. </p><p>4. Neural networks can be classified according to their type of learning: supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. </p><p>5. Neural networks can learn very fast, but they have some limitations. </p><p>6. Neural networks have been used to solve a wide range of problems, from recognizing faces to playing video games.</p>Lukman Kurniawanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05545996342149949171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595057824785165013.post-5303336730208831692023-03-06T21:36:00.017-08:002023-03-06T21:36:00.164-08:00Opportunities for young developers in the development of future technologies: which areas of innovation have the greatest potential?<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Already on May 26 Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) young scientists, innovators and entrepreneurs will meet at the KTU "Technorama 2022" exhibition.

The 2010 World Economic Forum report presents trends in the growth of information technology (IT) influence in society. This report states that the public imagines that IT should rank 4th in importance (21 percent), just 1 percent behind third place (utilities): health care leads, followed by agriculture. Society believes that information technology is very important to it. But that's just her opinion. What is the real impact of IT on the economy? The share of IT in the world's gross domestic product (GDP) was 5 percent in 2003, while in 2008 it was already 5.4 percent. In The Climate Group's SMART 2020 report: Enabling the low carbon economy in the information age" predicts that in 2020 the share of IT in GDP will be 8.7 percent. Business should respond to this forecast by scientists - it is a niche where you can expand your activities. In Lithuania, the share of IT in GDP has been presented by the statistics department in the publication "Information technologies in Lithuania 2010".</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This table eloquently shows that the share of IT in the gross domestic product in Lithuania does not have a stable growth trend, not to mention the fact that we have not even reached the value of the global indicator of 5.4 percent of GDP in 2008. The change in 2008 - 2009 is positive and gives hope that growth trends will emerge. The business should appreciate that the composition of the gross domestic product is changing - the IT component is increasing. Therefore, not only large, but also small and medium-sized businesses must be vigilant - in order to maintain competitiveness, the factors influencing business, which are not directly related to the spread of IT, must also be made more efficient by IT means. Thus, according to its share in the gross domestic product (about 5-6 percent), IT is not particularly important, although such an assessment is not entirely correct,</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The state's achievements in the field of information technology are measured by the IT diffusion index ("ICT Networked Readiness Index"). The structure of the index has been stable only since 2002. IT Diffusion Index (ITSI) covers IT environment, preparation, use. It is calculated from 36 survey criteria (57% of data) and 29 indicators - official data (43% of data). The data presented in the charts are systematized by the author using the annual "Global Information Technology Report" reports.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We will analyze the change trends of ITSI and its components based on the annual Global Information Technology Report presented at the World Economic Forum.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The change in the location of the countries' IT diffusion index presented in this chart shows that the places of the leading countries Singapore, Sweden and the USA change slightly, we could not distinguish any trend. These countries are constantly paying the necessary attention to the spread of IT. Meanwhile, the dynamics of places in the Baltic states is a little different. The jumps in the curves of the diagram indicate that the focus in the Baltic states on the use of information technology was uneven. However, since 2007, the dynamics of changes in all three states have been similar, which allows us to assume that the attention to IT development was similar. Estonia has not lost its leadership position in the Baltic region for the entire nine-year period. The period from 2008, when the places of all three states start to grow, is notable. The deterioration of IT diffusion is beginning to be observed. The only positive thing is that that the growth trend of places decreased in 2010 should give optimism. The places of the IT distribution index say something else - they are growing, albeit slowly! This shows that the situation of Lithuania and other Baltic "sessions" in IT diffusion is getting worse.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">General trends do not distinguish problem areas, since the IT dispersion index consists of as many as 9 components (see the figure above). When analyzing the data, it is necessary to take into account that this is a relative assessment: the value of the component of the state index is compared with the indicators of other states. This determines the location of the country index component. The overall place of the state is calculated from 9 components. If there were only two indicators, one of which would take the 99th place and the other the first, then the overall 50th place would not show the real situation. In order to find out the real situation, it is necessary to analyze the values of individual index components and their dynamics.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Looking at changes in Lithuania's places according to ITSI's component Environment , we observe that in 2009 there was a turning point in infrastructure, politics and management, that is, from a negative trend (increase in places) to a decrease in places (positive trend). This is a rather happy direction. However, the negative trend is growing in the trade sector! How could these indicators be improved? To that end, let's break down the overall subindex location to specific metric values. ITSI components Policy and management one of the sub-indexes is the government's priority to IT, ie giving priority to information and communication technologies (1 - very weak priority, 7 - high). In 2009-2010, the average values of this sub-index are presented in the table below (the number in front of the state indicates its position according to this sub-index).</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The results of this table can please Estonia (14th place), but Lithuania's 76th place really shows that the government should provide measures to correct this situation. We are next to Russia according to this indicator. The conclusions are really not good. For the sake of objectivity, it is necessary to evaluate the "tragic" situation of Latvia - 107th place. The government of this country should really worry about priorities, because as discussed earlier, the weight of IT in the GDP structure is growing.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another important sub-index assesses government IT foresight, ie whether governments have a clear implementation plan using information and communication technologies to improve the country's overall competitiveness (1 - no plan; 7 - clear plan). In 2009-2010, the average values of this sub-index are presented in the table below (the number in front of the state indicates its position according to this sub-index).</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">According to the vision of the perspective of information technologies, Estonia again leads among the Baltic "sessions", whose index value of 4.96 (out of 7 possible) shows that the result in this area is sufficient. Meanwhile, Lithuania's place with an index value of 3.86 next to a country like Bangladesh should be reassuring. Once again, we have to state the unenviable position of Latvia - only 113th place, although the index is not so different from Lithuania (0.58). Meanwhile, Estonia is quite significantly far from Lithuania - the index difference is 1.10.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We can conclude that the empty trend in politics and management is encouraging, but the real situation in the vision and use of government IT perspective requires fundamental changes. The Ministry of Economy, which is responsible for the IT sector, really faces big challenges - how to get closer to the world's leading countries? Another task is how to improve the negative trend of the Trade sub-index. The parameters of this factor require a separate study, as the situation worsens year by year.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Analyzing the changes in Lithuania's places according to the ITSI component Readiness , we observe that the turning point of the negative trend in individual and government IT readiness is the year 2009. The trend is encouraging, although the places between 60 and 80 are not so high. The trend of business readiness places is not positive yet: a stable deterioration is observed. If we add the bad state of the IT environment in the trade sector, the conclusion would appear by itself: the problematic situation is in the trade business.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You wouldn't see a bad IT situation when you're handing out salespeople's brochures. However, this is only an illusion created for the user. The actual situation (compared to other countries) should certainly be reassuring.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Summarizing the above data, it can be said that the general situation in Lithuania is not good and encouraging, although there are also areas where the spread of information technologies gives hope. With this article, we would like to draw the attention of persons who can make decisions related to information technologies to the current situation and trends. Knowing the situation and trends creates the prerequisites for making the right decisions.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A completely different situation is observed according to the ITSI component Use . The use of IT in business is growing. However, there are indicators that indicate problem areas. One of these is the innovation size indicator (presented in the table below). It describes how companies acquire new technology (1 - only from licensing or from foreign companies; 7 - through official research and implementation of their own innovative new products and processes). 2009-2010 the weighted average was (the number before the country indicates its position in this sub-index):</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In this table, the Lithuanian indicator 3.34 (out of a possible 7) "speaks" for itself - "own" innovations are used rather weakly in the IT field: that is, companies do not try to invest in the process of creating innovations, in most cases they use innovations created by others. Such a path programs a constant lag - in order to overtake, you need to create something newer and more perfect yourself.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Analyzing the use of IT in the private sector and government structures, we observe a slight downward trend. In the parameters describing the use of IT in the government structure, one would like to highlight the index of government "omline" services (evaluates the availability of services).</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The existing values of the indicator are really encouraging - we are only slightly behind Estonia. This is one of the indicators we can be proud of. Another proof that you can't take one indicator and be happy with it (or vice versa). You need to see the overall picture, only seeing it allows you to correctly predict tasks for the perspective.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let's look at the given data from another perspective - what is the relationship between ITSI components Preparation and Use ? This data juxtaposition should illustrate how effectively the existing structure is being used. For the sake of objectivity, we have to admit that such a comparison does not assess all the factors that influenced the state's place according to a separate criterion. Disadvantages are due to uneven levels of preparedness and utilization among states. Generally speaking, the indicators of other countries also change, which is why Lithuania's place may change not only due to the processes taking place in our country. Therefore, this comparison should be viewed as a trend picker.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When comparing individual IT usage and readiness (see chart below) "the ace comes out of the bag". The gap between readiness and use in individual IT use has been increasing since 2008. Currently, it is disproportionately large - thirty-one places. In 2009, there was a difference of 32 places. Reduction - one place, is it already a trend? Kazin If this trend were to continue, we would have to wait 30 years before the possibilities became equal to use. It should also be noted that the difference may decrease if usage worsens (which has been observed for the past three years). On the other hand, attention should be paid to the very low level of preparation - 65th place, while utilization - 34th place. We see that usage clearly outpaces readiness.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A different situation is observed in business. Here, the ratio between readiness and use fluctuates within normal limits. The existing difference of 24 seats in 2010 (10 seats in 2009) should be reassuring - the gap is starting to increase. As with individual IT use, business use outpaces readiness. It goes without saying that it is not good. On the other hand, the existence of such a trend illustrates business prospects. The business need to use IT is high enough, which makes it possible to develop a structure that ensures its use.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Similar to the comparison of individual IT use and readiness, as well as the comparison of government institutions' readiness and use, this difference starts to grow since 2007. An unnatural situation has arisen - Preparation in 2010 was 43 places behind Use . For the sake of objectivity, it should be mentioned that in 2009 this difference was as high as 54. Is this already a downward trend? Probably not. This decrease was due to the worsening use of IT in the public sector - from 31st place in 2009 to 39th place in 2010.

In today's economic conditions, many agricultural workers do not have the financial power to purchase high-yielding seeds that require many fertilizer and pharmaceutical applications, or the synthetic chemical costs required by conventional farming methods. Another problem is that these products cannot be marketed. In organic production, small-scale producers are organized in cooperatives and certified organic agricultural products are also found in foreign markets.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">To provide biodiversity and sustainability. Planting the soil with the same product every year, using unconscious and natural information, and even worse, producing with GMOs and processing the soil incorrectly are factors that inhibit soil fertility. In addition, important environmental problems such as loss of organic matter and vigor in the soil, deterioration of the physical structure of the soil, disturbance of the nutrient balance and soil erosion adversely affect the soil yield. These factors are the factors that cause the deterioration of the ecological balance. Over time, the chain is broken between living things in nature and living things disappearing in balance.</span></p></li></ul><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">The concept of sustainability is always given priority in environmental production activities.

Since there is not much awareness, environmental production is usually based on exports. However, our country is very suitable for environmental production due to its climatic conditions and geographical features. It also has high export potential. However, if we look at the global environmental product trade, our country does not have a serious share in the global environmental food market.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Considering the increasing demand of ecological products in the world and the advantages of our country in this direction, EO Mark Ecological Product Standard has been developed by TRCERT. This standard is based on the Eco-Label Regulation 2019/2018/EC, designed by the European Union in 1992 and updated in 2010.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">The environmental labeling system, which is implemented in the countries of the European Union, deals with the entire life cycle of environmental products. In this process, certain standards are set based on different product groups to reduce the negative impact of production activities on nature. The environmental label system is updated from time to time taking into account that the prescribed criteria are applied, environmental and market research and various analysis results. The most important note that has been emphasized in these studies is which stage of production causes the greatest damage to nature.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Control and certification activities play an important role in introducing ecological products in the domestic and international markets. Explanation about environmental products increases consumer confidence towards these products. The Ecomark Ecological Product Standard has been an important study based on these control and certification studies.

In this case, the energy consumption in traditional production methods is higher than ecological production. This leads to depletion of energy resources. In environmental production methods, renewable energy sources such as solar or wind are used in addition to energy saving. In this way, energy saving is more.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">An important reason for environmental production is to provide a balanced economy. In environmental production activities, manufacturing companies implement crop rotation and produce more than one product at the same time. In this way, manufacturers are not much affected by fluctuations in market prices. In addition, the input costs in production are low and the enterprise has an advantage.</span></p></li></ul><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Recent research results show that there has been a positive improvement in environmental productivity. According to the results of the analysis, organic products usually contain nitrates, animal foods, antibiotics and herbal foods, pesticide residues and more vitamins and minerals, and have a more balanced profile of proteins. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has also recognized that organic products contain less pesticide residues and less nitrates.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">In a report published by the Food Standards Institute, the nutritional value found in organic products is higher than that of non-organic products. For example, protein percent 13, beta-carotene percent 13, potassium percent 54, sodium percent 3, copper percent 9, magnesium percent 8, phosphorus percent 7, sulfur percent 6, zinc percent 11, and phenolic Mixture percentages are greater than 11.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Meanwhile, one should not go without mentioning one point. The terms biological and biological have the same meaning as the term ecological. Other expressions such as natural, natural, hormone-free, pure or gram products, which are used to suggest that the products are healthy, do not carry any guarantee and have no legal basis. If synthetic fertilizers or some pesticides are used in the production without hormones, then these products cannot be called ecological or organic. Meanwhile, another issue is whether EuropeGAP or GlobalGAP or Good Agricultural Practices are environmental products. These products may not necessarily be environmental products. This document shows that chemicals are used in agricultural products at low and correct levels and that the products are produced under hygienic conditions.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Therefore, environmental production is a very different production system. In fact, even the seeds are not innocent, today the importance of ecological production becomes more important. Nowadays it is almost a dream to find ancient local seeds in Anatolian soil. Today, manufacturers generally use commercial concerns and the structure of seeds to make it look good, to be attractive in size, to be resistant to transportation and storage of the product, in short. In traditional production systems, these types of seeds are modified and called hybrids. In addition, legal regulations allow gene transfer (GMO) seeds.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">In organic production, only ecologically certified seeds are used. If these seeds cannot be found, local seeds that have not been interfered with in their original structure, and hybrid seeds without drugs and gene transfer are allowed.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Control and certification organizations control the seeds, seedlings and saplings used by producer companies, as well as invoices and other documents for the purchase of seeds and are necessary when analyzing these seeds.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Why is consuming ecological products beneficial?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #888888; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">From time to time in newspapers, there are news about the importance of environmental products and why it is important for human health.

Inappropriate technology can lead to wasted time, money, and effort. Appropriate technology can help businesses save time and money while still meeting or exceeding customer expectations. Appropriate technology is a vital part of any business's innovation strategy.</p><h2>The Types of Appropriate Technology</h2><p>Appropriate technology can be broken down into four main types: </p><p>1. Conventional technology </p><p>2. Customized technology </p><p>3. Adaptive technology </p><p>4. Rationalized technology.</p><p>Conventional technology is the most common type of appropriate technology. Conventional technology involves using the same tools, methods, and systems that have been used in the past without any modification. Customized technology, on the other hand, involves modifying traditional technologies to fit the specific needs of a business. Adaptive technology allows businesses to change how they use conventional technologies in response to changing conditions. Finally, rationalized technology is the use of standard technologies in a way that makes them more effective and efficient.</p><p>Each type of appropriate technology has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. For example, customized technology can be more expensive than conventional technology, but it can also be quicker and easier to use. Adaptive technology, on the other hand, can be more expensive but it can also allow businesses to react quickly to changing conditions. Rationalized technology, however, is the most cost effective option overall.</p><h2>The Benefits of Appropriate Technology</h2><p>When businesses use appropriate technology, they can save time and money. Appropriate technology is reliable and efficient, which makes it a valuable tool in any business. It’s also safe, certified, and environmentally friendly, which makes it a great choice for businesses that want to be eco-friendly. Furthermore, appropriate technology is easy to use and can meet or exceed customer expectations. All of these factors ensure that businesses can be successful with appropriate technology.</p><h2>The Risks of Appropriate Technology</h2><p>Appropriate technology can be risky if not used properly. It can lead to data loss or errors, take up resources, be time-consuming and expensive to implement, damage or disable equipment, and more. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the risks when using appropriate technology and to make sure that the technology is being used in a way that will benefit the business overall.</p><h2>Guidelines for Appropriate Technology Use</h2><p>When implementing or using appropriate technologies, there are a few guidelines that businesses should follow. First and foremost, businesses should carefully consider the goals they hope to achieve with the technology. Second, they should make sure that the technology they select is actually appropriate for the task at hand. Finally, businesses should keep an eye on the costs and benefits of using appropriate technologies. </p><p>When selecting appropriate technologies, businesses should first take into account their goals. For example, if a business wants to save time on a project, it might benefit from using a technology that is faster than traditional methods. Conversely, if a business wants to produce a high-quality product without spending extra time on research, it might find better success with a more traditional technology.</p><p>The next guideline for appropriate technology use is to make sure the technology chosen is actually appropriate. For example, if a business is planning to use a software application to manage customer data, they should ensure the application is actually suitable for that task. Otherwise, the software could be difficult to use or even crash altogether.</p><p>Businesses should also be mindful of the costs and benefits of using appropriate technologies. For example, if a business decides to use online surveys to gather feedback from customers, they will need to weigh the cost (e.g. time spent filling out surveys) against potential benefits (e.g. gain insights about customer preferences).</p><p>Last but not least, businesses should keep an eye on the costs and benefits of using appropriate technologies as they implement them. This includes making sure that the technology is affordable and meets the needs of the business in terms of functionality and performance. Additionally, businesses should periodically evaluate how well the appropriate technologies are working and whether there are any improvements that can be made.</p><p>1.

Many people believe that it is, as new inventions and technologies are constantly being developed that can have harmful consequences. Take, for example, the use of technology to extract natural resources. This can damage ecosystems and contribute to climate change, two issues that many believe technology is responsible for. Is this a fair assessment? Let’s take a look at the evidence.</p><h2>Technology has been rapidly evolving in recent years, with new inventions and innovations coming about on a daily basis.</h2><p>One of the most significant benefits of technology is its ability to improve communication and transportation. Advances in these fields have allowed for advances in other areas, such as the production and consumption of energy. However, this forward momentum has also led to unforeseen consequences. For example, the production of energy often requires the exploitation of natural resources, which can lead to the depletion of those resources and environmental harm. Additionally, the use of technology has also led to an increase in the number of pollutants in the air and water supplies. As a result, many scientists are concerned about the long-term impact of technology on the environment.</p><p>The rapid evolution of technology has led to unforeseen consequences, one of which is the destruction of ecosystems.</p><p>The extraction of natural resources using technology can damage ecosystems and lead to climate change. </p><p>There are various ways in which technology can be used to help preserve the environment, but there are also risks involved. </p><p> Be aware of the risks that come with the use of technology, as it can have a negative impact on the environment.</p><h2>Some of these innovations are beneficial to society, others may have unintended consequences that harm the environment.</h2><p>In recent years, technology has evolved rapidly and innovated in many different ways. While some of these innovations are helpful and necessary for society, others can have harmful consequences for the environment. One such innovation is the use of technology to extract natural resources.</p><p>When technologies are used to extract resources from the earth, it can damage ecosystems and contribute to climate change. For example, if we were to extract coal from the ground, the coal would be burned in a power plant and the released CO2 would contribute to climate change. Fracking is also a type of technology that can harm ecosystems. When fracking is used to extract natural gas, water, and chemicals are used in order to fracture shale rocks underground. This process can cause environmental damage including water contamination, air pollution, and land degradation.</p><p>Though these technologies have their benefits, they also come with consequences that must be considered. By understanding these consequences, we can make informed decisions about how we should use technology and protect the environment.</p><p>Technology has the potential to do great things for society, but it also has the potential to have negative impacts on the environment. Some of these negative impacts can be irreversible, while others can be quite subtle. It's important that we understand the environmental consequences of using technology in order to minimize them.</p><p>Some of the most common ways in which technology can harm ecosystems involve the use of natural resources. For example, technology can be used to extract minerals from the ground or to create new land from sea water. This process can damage ecosystems and contribute to climate change.</p><p>Another way in which technology can harm ecosystems is by altering the environment's chemical composition. This occurs when pollutants are released into the atmosphere, or when chemicals are used in manufacturing processes. Alteration of the environment can lead to harmful mutations in plants and animals, as well as contribute to global warming.</p><p>We need to be careful when implementing new technologies, and make sure that their impact on the environment is taken into account during development. By doing this, we can help ensure that technology's impact on the environment is minimal.</p><h2>One such innovation is the use of technology to extract natural resources, which can damage ecosystems and contribute to climate change.</h2><p>Since the dawn of civilization, humans have been using technology to extract natural resources from the earth. This process can damage ecosystems and contribute to climate change. As our population continues to grow, we are reaching a point where we will need to find more sustainable ways to use natural resources. We need to be more selective in the use of technology, and evaluate the consequences of each invention before we make it.</p><p>Technology has had a significant impact on both the environment and society over the past few decades.</p><p>As technology advances, society and the environment are increasingly intertwined. In particular, the use of technology to extract natural resources can have devastating consequences.</p><p>For example, the mining and drilling process of oil and gas can cause extensive damage to ecosystems. In addition, the burning of fossil fuels produces greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.</p><p>Therefore, it is important to be mindful of the harmful effects that technology can have on the environment before we begin implementing new technologies. We need to make sure that any innovations we make are truly beneficial to both society and the environment.</p><h2>Is technology responsible for destroying the environment?</h2><p>Over the past few decades, the use of technology has rapidly evolved. From phones to cars, we have seen a surge in innovation. However, this hasn’t always been a positive thing. Many of these innovations rely on the exploitation of natural resources, which can damage ecosystems and contribute to climate change.</p><p>While some technologies may be beneficial in the short term, they often have long-term negative consequences. For example, the use of phones and computers puts tremendous strain on the environment, requiring huge amounts of energy to function. In addition, many phone apps are designed to waste electricity and keep users glued to their screens.</p><p>As technology continues to evolve, it will become increasingly important to ask whether or not it’s responsible for destroying the environment. Only by looking at the bigger picture can we make sensible decisions that benefit society as a whole.</p><p>Based on the article, technology can be seen as both a blessing and a curse. While some innovations, such as the use of technology to extract natural resources, can have positive consequences for society, others can have negative consequences for the environment. It is important to be mindful of the impact of technology on the environment, and to make sure that any new innovations are evaluated carefully.</p>
