Car market Used car prices are rising rapidly

Status: 22.06.2021 2:17 p.m.

Because of the often long delivery times for new cars, the market for used cars is booming – also on the Internet. But consumers should pay attention to a few things, especially when buying online.

From Till Bücker, tagesschau.de

Buy or sell a used car from the comfort of your own home with one click: The online market for used cars is becoming increasingly popular. So it is not surprising that the Berlin trading platform Auto1 has risen to the MDAX. The company, which was founded in 2012, was only launched in early February dared to go public – with success. Because with 1.8 billion euros it was the largest IPO in Germany after almost one and a half years. The Auto1 Group claims to be Europe’s largest digital automotive platform with more than 450,000 cars sold last year. The company buys vehicles from private customers via wirkaufendeinauto.de as well as from dealers. These are then primarily passed on to other car dealers via auto1.com. But consumers have also been able to purchase new used vehicles through the Autohero brand since 2017. The private business is to be massively expanded with the fresh money from investors.

Semiconductor shortages delay deliveries

That could be worth it. Because according to calculations by the Metzler bank, the European market for used cars reaches around 600 billion euros. 2020 was due to long delivery times and falling demand for new cars during the Corona crisis a real boom . In July alone, according to figures from the Federal Motor Transport Authority, there were almost 750,000 car ownership transfers – more than ever before in a month and almost 100,000 more than in July 2019. This year, too, the transfers are well above the previous year’s figures.

The high demand is also reflected in the price development: During the prices for used e-cars have recently plummeted , the asking prices for used cars reached a new record high in May with an average of around 22,600 euros per vehicle. The buyers paid almost 200 euros more than in April and even around 2200 euros more than in May 2020, according to data from the online portal AutoScout24. Experts expect an increase as the semiconductor shortage is delaying the delivery of new cars worldwide and the supply of used cars is falling.

Platform growth opportunities

So far, however, only one percent of used cars have been sold online. “The used car market in Europe is still one of the last markets that go almost exclusively through brick-and-mortar retail,” said Tom Diedrich from the Metzler bank Deutschlandfunk . Therefore, there are still great growth opportunities for online platforms.

A first trend seems to be emerging. “We are seeing a real boom,” said Stefan Schneck, sales manager for the German market at AutoScout24. For example, the number of contacts made by potentially interested parties shot up by 40 percent at times in May. According to a current AutoScout24 survey of more than 1000 users, car fans see a good alternative to buying completely online: almost one in two (47 percent) would “definitely” or “maybe” order their car from the sofa. A year ago, only 35 percent of those surveyed were ready to do this.

Extreme bargains should make you suspicious

Buying a used car on the Internet has the advantage that interested parties can quickly and easily fall back on a huge range. A contract can be concluded at the push of a button, and the car is delivered to your doorstep. But regardless of whether it is on digital platforms such as Auto1 or via an exchange such as AutoScout24 or mobile.de, on which dealers or private individuals sell their vehicles directly: Consumers should pay attention to a few things when buying a used car.

First the price. For used cars, this depends on the model, year of construction, equipment, kilometers driven, wear and tear, extras and preferences. But how can a fair offer be recognized? “If you watch the market for your desired vehicle for a week or two, you get a very good feeling for a reasonable price,” explains Silvia Schattenkirchner, Head of Consumer Law at ADAC. Some exchanges such as mobile.de are now also giving ratings for offers from private individuals. Consumers should generally be cautious about extreme bargains. In addition, there is possible manipulation of the mileage. According to ADAC estimates, the so-called odometer has changed in every third used car. Verification is not easy. “It is best to have the mileage guaranteed,” advises Schattenkirchner. Otherwise, consumers could have repair invoices or TÜV certificates shown. Even comparing the kilometers driven with the year of construction is already informative in some cases.

Test drives essential

The expert considers test drives to be particularly important. “Buying a pig in a poke without a test drive, especially when it comes to used cars, is a big risk.” Only then should a contract be concluded. Schattenkirchner also advises against high down payments or other advance payments as well as purchases from abroad. In addition, consumers should be aware that contracts concluded online are also binding – for example by email. There are numerous scams on the Internet. The most common problems are listed on the website of the initiative “Safe car purchase on the Internet” from ADAC and the police crime prevention.

It is also not always easy for sellers of used cars. Platforms often promise higher prices than are ultimately paid. In order to find out how much one’s own car is still worth, the lawyer Schattenkirchner has two tips ready: “On the one hand, sellers can search for their own car and comparable offers. The other option are ADAC test centers.” Most of the time, only the initiation of business deals takes place on the Internet. “With mobile.de or AutoScout24 it is usually still the case that both parties are mediated,” said Schattenkirchner. The contract will still be concluded outside of the Internet. It remains to be seen whether the newcomer Auto1 will bring about long-term change

In fact, drug delivery is also a very important issue in the chain of new drug development. Especially when we use drugs developed using advanced molecular biology strategies, such as macromolecular drugs, gene therapy drugs, etc., safe and efficient delivery is considered essential.

Moreover, according to NIH data, both large-molecule drugs and small-molecule drugs may have serious side effects due to their interaction with non-target targets. Such side effects caused by off-target severely limit the development of drugs, especially the development of the best therapeutic drugs for cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and infectious diseases.

Therefore, the research needs of drug delivery are urgent and will definitely attract more and more attention. Already, AI biotechnology companies have begun to deploy in this field.

Solving the problem of drug delivery requires AI technology

At present, the research on drug delivery systems can be divided into four main directions: ①The way of delivery; ②The carrier of delivery; ③The loaded drug; ③The means of targeting.

Among them, the delivery vehicle is an important research direction. More and more clinical studies, and even drugs that have been approved for marketing use viral vectors such as adeno-associated virus (AAV) and lentivirus, or lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vectors. For example, the mRNA vaccine for the new coronavirus uses the LNP vector, and the gene therapy drug Zolgensma for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy uses the AAV vector. However, issues such as the safety of the carrier, immunogenicity, and the ability to load drugs still need to be solved urgently.

Targeting means is another important research direction. For example, how to successfully transport drugs across the blood-brain barrier to the brain is critical to the treatment of brain diseases such as brain tumors, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Moreover, the target requirements of delivery will become more and more refined, not only targeting to various organs (heart, lung, brain), reaching tissue types (muscles, nerves), reaching disease-specific cells, and even targeting The correct structure inside the cell. Such research means that it is possible to accurately deliver chemotherapeutic drugs to tumor cells, which will greatly reduce the side effects of traditional drugs.

Therefore, drug delivery is not only to connect the inherent characteristics of drugs, but also to face the complex problems of multiple variables in different microenvironments of the human body. AI technology has natural advantages in managing big data, analyzing or interpreting complex data. With the development of machine learning, especially neural network algorithms, it is natural for artificial intelligence to participate in research in the field of drug delivery.

Introduction of domestic and foreign startups

1. Dyno therapeutics

Dyno was established in 2018, focusing on the use of AI technology to develop AAV vectors for gene therapy. In May of this year, Dyno announced that it had completed a $100 million Series A financing. Natural AAV is easily recognized by the immune system, and it does not have specific cell and tissue targeting, so it must be modified before treatment. The traditional modification method is “directed evolution”. Synthetic biologists randomly mutate a certain amino acid on the capsid protein that is in direct contact with the target cell, and then evaluate whether this change is helpful for AAV targeting the target tissue. Repeated iterations Such a cycle of mutation-evaluation-superimposed mutation-re-evaluation. In view of the large sequence space of the capsid protein, this project is arduous and lengthy, the screening ability is far from keeping up with the market demand, the speed of discovery is slow, and the output is also limited. Therefore, as soon as Dyno appeared, it attracted the attention of many gene therapy companies. Novartis and Dyno signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop a new type of AAV vector for gene therapy of severe eye diseases; Sarepta and Dyno signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop a new type of AAV vector for gene therapy of muscle diseases; Roche’s Spark also signed a cooperation agreement with Dyno to jointly Develop new AAV vectors for gene therapy of central nervous system diseases and targeted liver delivery. These cooperations are expected to bring a total of more than $3.8 billion in funding for Dyno. Figure 1 The technical process of Dyno therapeutics (source: the company’s official website, compiled by Fengshuo Ventures) As shown in the figure above, Dyno’s technology platform combines machine learning algorithms with biological experiments. First design a batch of AAV capsid sequences, and build a DNA-encoded capsid database after synthesis; through next-generation sequencing methods, the capsid mutations in the library can be tracked and identified; experimentally measured parameters that are critical to successful treatment, such as delivery The five parameters of efficiency, specificity to the target, immune system response, packaging size and manufacturing characteristics; based on these experimental data, train machine learning models to predict the function of the new sequence, and construct a panoramic map of the different properties of the AAV capsid . Continuously looping this process, the panoramic map outlined by machine learning will become more and more detailed. In the end, it can be achieved that for a certain disease, a certain potential treatment method, Dyno inputs the required parameters, and the machine learning algorithm can output the predicted capsid sequence. This is the AAV vector that is expected to achieve the best therapeutic effect. 2. Jitai Medicine Jitai Pharmaceutical was established in 2020 and was incubated by Jingtai Technology, an AI drug crystal form research and development company. As the first AI-driven pharmaceutical formulation development start-up company in China, the company completed a Pre-A round of financing of tens of millions of dollars in December 2020. Jitai Pharmaceutical focuses on drug delivery and formulation research and development, and is committed to using AI technology to solve specific problems in the development of new drug preclinical formulations and drug delivery design to the entire chain of process amplification. It has reached strategic cooperation agreements with Huahai Pharmaceutical and Boten Pharmaceutical . From the establishment of Jitai Pharmaceutical, it can clearly reflect the guiding role of domestic pharmaceutical policies on the market. Centralized procurement with a large amount reduces the profit margins of domestic generic drugs, forcing relevant pharmaceutical companies to find innovative ways, or to develop independent innovation drug research and development with high risk and investment, which may take 10-15 years; or to carry out the second category of preparations Research on new drugs, such as cooperation with Jitai, may only take 3-5 years to enter the market at a lower cost. Therefore, at present, Jitai Pharmaceutical will mainly use AI technology and quantum chemistry calculation methods to complete the development of customized complex formulations for traditional pharmaceutical companies. At the same time, the AI ​​design platform of the LNP carrier was built, with a view to providing carrier services for many domestic nucleic acid drug research and development companies. Concluding remarks At present, there have been relatively many studies on the delivery of traditional drugs in the body using machine learning. In the future, more research needs will focus on new drugs and precision treatments. Nowadays, gene therapy is still subject to the biggest bottleneck-the “vector”. The situation is no different from decades ago. Dr. Jim Wilson, the pioneer of gene therapy, feels “embarrassed” about the entire viral vector research. Maybe it’s because we don’t understand enough knowledge? Maybe it’s because we are not getting knowledge fast enough? And AI technology can bring us more and more effective information from a perspective different from human thinking, improve our knowledge base, promote the development of drug delivery technology, and help all kinds of new therapeutic drugs to achieve their due Good treatment effect.

China’s passenger jet C919 is lagging behind schedule

Status: 19.06.2021 07:29 a.m.

China’s domestic C919 passenger aircraft is set to compete with Airbus and Boeing. But the approval is still missing – and there is still no date for the first delivery.

From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai

China’s government has invested billions in developing and building its own passenger aircraft in recent years. There are great hopes for the C919. This medium-haul aircraft from the state manufacturer Comac should be able to carry up to 190 passengers in the future. In terms of size and equipment, the C919 is comparable to the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. “Technically, the C919 is actually an international aircraft,” says David Yu, aviation analyst and economics professor at Shanghai’s New York University. Many individual parts of the machine come from the USA and Europe. “It will be assembled in Shanghai. Yes, the C919 is a Chinese aircraft, but with a significant proportion of foreign components,” says Yu.

Approval in China possible this year

Their Maiden flight had the C919 four years ago. It is still unclear when the machine will be delivered. The project is several years behind schedule, which is normal for all manufacturers around the world when they develop new aircraft models.

So far, the C919 does not even have official approval from the Chinese Civil Aviation Authority (CAAC). If this approval is granted – and that could happen this year – the machine will probably only fly in China for the time being. It is still unclear whether the responsible aviation authorities in Europe (EASA) and the USA (FAA) will also approve the machine.

In 2017 the C919 took off on its maiden flight – the start of delivery is currently still open. Image: picture alliance / Andy Wong / AP / dpa

For the time being, probably only in Germany

Nevertheless: Even if the Chinese medium-haul jet is initially only allowed to fly on domestic routes in the People’s Republic, Airbus and Boeing will not be left without a trace, says aviation analyst Yu. “Asia and especially China are the largest growth markets for the aircraft industry. If you also look at who ordered the aircraft – especially Chinese airlines and leasing companies – it becomes clear that the C919 will take Airbus and Boeing’s market share in China reduce, “said Yu. In China, all airlines and even leasing companies belong to the state – or they are subject to the instructions of the communist leadership. Ultimately, this can decide which aircraft type is bought by whom. This is also a clear advantage for the state-owned Chinese manufacturer Comac

Hundreds of thousands of motorbike taxi drivers in Rwanda will be able to change petrol motorbikes into electric cars Bloomberg reported that the Rwandan government has partnered with a local company, Rwandan Electric Mobility, to deploy electric scooters in the country’s capital, Kigali. Rwanda has a population of more than 12.6 million people living in an area of ​​26,338 square kilometers, and is the most densely populated country in Africa. The motorbike taxi industry, motorbike taxi service, or delivery is a popular method of transportation and delivery in this country, thanks to its affordable prices and access to all corners of the country. Therefore, the initiative to convert gasoline-powered motorbikes that are nearing the end of their service life to electric ones, will help about 100,000 current motorbike owners to have new and zero-emission vehicles. This move not only reduces the overall carbon footprint but also effectively extends the life of these vehicles. It also greatly reduces maintenance costs, car owners don’t need to worry about oil changes and refueling their vehicles. To launch the project, the Rwanda Environmental Management Agency (REMA) signed a contract with Rwandan Electric Mobility, and technical and financial support from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) was also secured to promote the project. project progress. The trial phase, which is expected to last for 6 months, will convert about 30,000 motorbike taxis currently using gasoline engines to electric motorbikes.

You need to go through labor pains and the whole process of childbirth. You must cooperate with the doctor to give birth to the baby smoothly if you endure the “tenth-level pain”. I think that after the umbilical cord is cut, the parturient can breathe a sigh of relief and be “forced to stay” for observation. For a while.

Many parturients express their incomprehension. They are exhausted physically and mentally after giving birth and cannot sleep. They have to stay in the delivery room for another two hours. Why?

After the mother gave birth, the newborn was taken out first, and the mother had to wait another two hours?

My colleague Yueyue just gave birth to a second child. When she gave birth to Dabao, she was delivered by cesarean section. After giving birth, she went to the ward with her baby. I thought that Shun had a second child, and he could go back to rest directly after the baby was born.

Yueyue’s husband waited outside the delivery room for a long time, and saw that the nurse took the child out first, but Yueyue was not pushed out of the delivery room. Some worried about whether something would go wrong, she hurriedly asked: “How is my daughter-in-law? Why hasn’t she come out yet?”

The nurse explained patiently: “ The mother needs to be observed for another 2 hours , You can go back to the ward without any problems! ”

Yueyue’s husband was still a little worried, and insisted on waiting outside the delivery room until she saw her being pushed out of the delivery room.

Why is it necessary to observe for 2 hours before going out of the delivery room after the normal delivery?

More and more expectant mothers hope that they will be able to give birth smoothly, the baby will be healthier, and the postpartum recovery will be more advantageous for the baby mother, and the cycle will be shorter than that of the cesarean section.

The mothers who have had the experience of normal delivery know that there are three stages of delivery. The first stage is the dilated period of the uterus, and the second stage is the delivery process that is common in movies and TV dramas, until the fetus is delivered. The third stage of labor is the process of delivery of the placenta, and there is actually a fourth stage of labor. Observation after normal delivery is called the “fourth stage of labor.” After the fetus is delivered smoothly, Two hours after delivery, the mother is at high risk , The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage is extremely high. In order to ensure postpartum safety, they will be “forced to stay” in the delivery room for observation. If there is an emergency in the parturient, it is convenient for medical staff to rescue the child immediately to avoid life-threatening. This can greatly reduce the mortality of the parturient.

These three points need to be observed after childbirth, each of which is related to the safety of the mother. It is recommended that mothers-to-be save them

Although the postpartum recovery is faster, the postpartum risk is also very high, especially during the two hours postpartum period, you need to be extra careful, mainly to observe the following three points: [First point]Is there any bleeding after childbirth?

According to statistics, 80% of postpartum hemorrhage occurs within 2 hours after delivery.

The 2 hours postpartum for normal mothers is a critical period for observing the amount of bleeding. If you encounter postpartum hemorrhage, it is more dangerous , It may be life-threatening. Stay in the delivery room 2 hours after delivery to observe the bleeding, which is convenient for timely rescue.

[Second point]Observe the mental and physical condition of the parturient

Many expectant mothers feel that they can relax and rest after giving birth. The two-hour observation time in the delivery room should be followed by monitoring the vital signs of the mother, such as Heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure Wait for the basic situation, but also observe whether the mother’s consciousness is sober.

It is normal for the body to be weak after childbirth, if it occurs Malaise, may be a manifestation of physical problems , The medical staff will observe whether the mother’s consciousness is clear through communication.

[3rd point]Observe whether there are contractions

After the fetus is successfully delivered, the enlarged uterus during pregnancy begins to contract gradually, and the observation period is 2 hours after delivery. It also depends on the contraction of the uterus If the uterus can contract normally, it will compress the blood vessels and reduce the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage.

Kojima has something to say

The 2-hour observation in the delivery room after the normal delivery is necessary for the safety of the mother. In addition to the above three points, some women have incomplete placental delivery. The doctor also helps clean up the placenta .

If the expectant mother wants to have a baby smoothly, these small details of the smooth birth also need to be mastered in advance to avoid panic during childbirth. Staying in the delivery room for two more hours after the baby is born is for the sake of the delivery room, so don’t think about it. , Scare yourself!

I hope that all pregnant mothers give birth smoothly and give birth to a healthy and smart baby!

Uncle Le Khac Hoat (57 years old, house number 130 Lung Market, Dang Hai Ward, Hai An District, Hai Phong City), who is said to “invent” the dish, said what makes the delicious taste. Especially and also to distinguish Ha Lung key cake from other types of rolls is dried squid. Uncle Hoat said: “My family specializes in making spring rolls. In a late-night delivery, I saw people baking sugarcane and my mouth watered. From here on, I came up with the idea of ​​wrapping pork rolls around sugar cane. I tried to mix more things like beef, shrimp… but in the end I realized that just adding squid in one sun is the best.” According to Mr. Hoat, fresh squid in Hai Phong is not as rich as in Ha Long, so it is difficult to make delicious squid cakes like there. And Cat Ba has many and very good quality squid, the price is also affordable and especially it is imbued with the wind and sun of the sea. Just like that for more than 30 years, this simple but delicious dish has accompanied Uncle Hoat through many ups and downs and gently entered the hearts of lovers with the name “Ha Lung Cha key”. Ha Lung Cha key is made from 3 main ingredients: Squid, pork and sugarcane. Workers have to go to the market early in the morning, choose to buy or order in advance batches of pork that have just been slaughtered, fresh and clean, and then go home to filter out all the fat, take the meat to puree it, and make it into rolls. Squid must also be delicious, picky buy to Cat Ba, Cat Hai, then bring it back to small pieces, puree with lean pork, marinated with fish sauce, main noodles, shiitake mushrooms, wood ear, pepper … The famous Ha Lung bacon, no one knows, only, that village dish has become such a “specialty” that many tourists, when visiting the flower village and flower market, also have to buy it for the holiday. get a “unique” dish as a gift for relatives and family. Currently, Ha Lung key cake is being sold for from 280,000 to 300,000 VND/kg. (According to GiadinhNet)

“Based on the progress of the program, the budget will likely continue to be replenished. And the $48 million is just the initial investment,” the source from the US Air Force said. The US program to use rockets to deliver cargo on Earth was judged to be unfeasible. According to General Stephen R. Lyons – Commander of the US Transport Command (US TransCom), the use of missiles to transport goods has many advantages compared to the traditional way of using transport aircraft. Using rockets without a chain of aerial refueling aircraft to support the mission; Safe and secret, the opponent has very little chance of shooting down, not having to notify the host country when flying over like how with transport aircraft. The commander of US TransCom confirmed that this is a potential program and that the US Army is working with a team of experts from billionaire Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) to research and build a rocket that can fly. deliver weapons, military equipment to any place on Earth in less than 1 hour. According to the plan, the initial tests to test the principle will be carried out as soon as 2021. SpaceX has previously demonstrated the ability to land vertically and reuse boosters for its Falcon 9 system on mobile landing sites at sea. But the aerospace technology company has never landed a full payload rocket, and the proposed new rocket will carry four times as much cargo as these rocket flights have tested. There are two possible modes of transport that will be explored – cargo originating from a space base on the US mainland to overseas, or pre-sourcing on a spacecraft operating in orbit. and cargo can quickly leave orbit and land when needed. In partnership with industry, the U.S. Army could develop a prototype of such a space vehicle within the next 5-10 years, which could be used by TransCom to supplement air-to-air logistics operations. sea ​​and on land, including humanitarian assistance somewhere around the globe. TransCom will also have to deal with doctrinal, diplomatic, regulatory and organizational issues to facilitate the standardization of high-frequency launches. If successful, the US will revolutionize the transportation of goods. However, as soon as the US announced the program, the military community of this country pointed out a series of insurmountable difficulties. In terms of technical factors, rockets can only be launched when the weather conditions are relatively good; Poor weather can cause delays lasting up to a week. So a trip that is counted as lasting less than an hour will require significantly longer preparation time. The next problem is cost. According to calculations, a SpaceX Falcon 9 spacecraft with a capacity of 25 tons has a launch cost of $ 28 million. While the 12-hour flight from California to Japan on a C-17 Globemaster III costs $312,000, the cost doubles if the plane flies home to buy more equipment. By best estimates, it costs four times more to ship by rocket than to send the same amount of cargo by plane. However, cost is not everything, especially when hostilities are raging.

Boeing suspends 737 MAX deliveries due to electrical problems. (Source: Rappler) The slow delivery process will affect Boeing’s cash flow, as airlines and customers often pay most of the order value after receiving the goods. The 737 MAX is Boeing’s best-selling plane, but has been grounded for 20 months after two crashes that killed 346 people. Deliveries of the aircraft resumed in November last year, after Boeing updated its flight control system. But now, about 100 737 MAX planes are still “on hold” because of an electrical fault, and it took Boeing longer than anticipated to fix the problem. Ed Pierson, a former Boeing production manager, said the electrical fault should have been discovered during the evaluation of the 737 MAX aircraft after the two crashes. He once “complained” to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for focusing only on reviewing the flight control system without checking for other problems in the production process. Boeing said it received an order for 25 planes last month, but 17 of the 737 MAX planes were cancelled, leaving the number of planes ordered down to just eight. (according to Rappler)

After Charlton ordered the human staff, the second robot delivered the finished food to the customer. The food is neatly arranged on the tray. “Thank you,” Vicki Charlton said. The robot replied “Nothing”. Restaurant Mr. Q in South Florida (USA) uses robots to serve customers. Photo: Sun-Sentinel. For the past several weeks, Joy Wang, the owner of Mr. Q has difficulty recruiting waiters on weekends, when the number of visitors is too large. “A former employee once told me that they would rather stay home and get unemployment benefits,” Wang said. Due to not recruiting enough staff, Wang decided to use robots to assist in serving the restaurant. Last week, she bought three service robots for $30,000. According to the Sun-Sentinel , Mr. Q is one of the first restaurants in South Florida to use robots to serve customers. This trend also extends to Miami. In late March, REEF, an online restaurant service company, partnered with startup Cartken to produce a local food delivery robot. Matt Lindenberger, chief technology officer of REEF, said the electric robot can deliver goods in the downtown Miami area in 30 minutes. According to Lindenberger, the robots are the size of hot dog carts, which can climb up or down sidewalks, automatically avoiding cars and pedestrians. In addition to the reception robot, Mr. Q also equips a robot to serve food. Photo: Sun-Sentinel. “Applying service robots helps to save staff costs. Instead of using 5 people to deliver 5 orders, I can use 3 robots and a human,” Lindenberger said. In California, fast-food chain Chik-Fil-A also plans to use semi-autonomous robots for delivery, while Domino’s will deliver pizza by robot car in Houston. An employee at Mr. Q thinks it’s reasonable to apply robots because they don’t carry disease-causing viruses, don’t cough on food, don’t rest (unless they need to recharge). Instead, they are always happy, only interested in work. Michael Salcedo, waiter at Mr. Q said the older guests enjoyed Peanut. It also takes care of taking orders if another employee is busy. When bringing guests to the table, Peanut’s touch screen will display the menu. On special occasions, the robot can even sing “Happy Birthday” or “Merry Christmas” in four languages. Older diners enjoy being served by robots. Photo: Sun-Sentinel. Unlike Peanut, the restaurant’s two remaining service robots are unnamed. However, Salcedo prefers to call them Beavis and Butthead, because they often bump into each other in restaurants. Shaheen Maleki, restaurant manager Mr. Q said the robots are sometimes quite noisy. “There was a time when Peanut was about to run out of battery. It says ‘I have to go back. I had to go back by myself’, while we couldn’t find the volume button (to adjust the robot’s speakers)”, Maleki said that the service robot both attracts customers and helps the restaurant, but can also be annoying at times. . According to Maleki, many customers film the robot and then post it on the Internet to help the restaurant become more known. With large dining tables, a robot can serve food in one go, the job sometimes requires 3-4 people, or one person has to move many times. Various types of unique robots at the technology fair in Thailand Amazing robotic assistants helping with directions and serving food and medical robots were showcased at a recent tech fair in Thailand.

WHO started COVAX a year ago, and the Vaccine Coalition (GAVI) and the Alliance for Epidemic Preparation Innovation (CEPI) are participating in nearly every country in the world. The goal is to have the 92 poorest members receive as many vaccines as the 98 richest members. It is expected that by the end of 2021, each country will receive the vaccine for 1/5 of the population. UNICEF wants vaccines to reach their destination, making them available to people regardless of race or wealth. So how can COVAX achieve its ambitious goals? Project 2 billion doses of vaccine to reach poor countries Mr. Benjamin Schreiber, COVAX Coordinator in Connecticut (USA) affirmed that the biggest challenge for countries is “preparing to vaccinate in a short time”. COVAX’s stated goal is to ship 2 billion doses of vaccine by the end of 2021, equivalent to 850 tons of vaccine / month and 1 billion syringes. Thousands of vaccine containers will reach the remotest corners of the earth by means of vehicles: Jeeps, boats, drones, and rickshaws. Countries receiving vaccine aid are diverse, some with developing economies, some with underdevelopment. Mr. Benjamin Schreiber, COVAX Coordinator in Connecticut (USA).

Countries were required to send documents to UNICEF on how they plan to manage vaccine aid logistics: Which part of the population needs the vaccine most; Vaccine distribution plans from the airport to the rest of the country. On February 24, 2021, the first COVAX shipment landed in Ghana. By the end of March 2021, UNICEF had shipped 20 million doses of the vaccine to 47 countries. The strength of manufacturers The Indian Serum Institute (SII) is headquartered in Pune (West India), the world’s largest vaccine factory with 2.4 million doses of vaccine per day. SII is the creation of the vaccine that is being used to reach many parts of the world and its cost cannot be replicated right now. Of the more than 39 million doses of vaccine shipped by COVAX to date, 28 million have come from the Pune laboratories. India is a major supplier of COVAX. Currently, the country mainly produces vaccine AstraZeneca. But at the end of March 2021, the Indian government decided to stop the export of vaccines to a minimum when the number of new corona virus infections increased rapidly in this country. The New Delhi government’s decision to stockpile vaccines means COVAX will delay delivery of 90 million doses of vaccine to 63 receiving countries. There is currently no alternative manufacturing solution outside of India.

Mr. Mounir Bouazar (head of the logistics division of COVAX in Copenhagen) has been preparing for 3-4 months for the first shipments of vaccines. By the end of 2020, Bouazar is certain that half a billion syringes will be distributed to four UNICEF warehouses in Copenhagen, Dubai, Panama and Shanghai. Now COVAX will deliver thousands of vaccines to their destination every day. But a pandemic makes it more difficult, with few or no flights due to limited travel. No flights to East Timor or the Pacific island nation have been requested by UNICEF. Vaccines and syringes moved to Yemen had to go to Nairobi, where Bouazar rented a small plane to carry vaccines and syringes. Bouazar hopes to ship more vaccines by mid-2021. There is an idea to make Bouazar’s work smoother right now: Suspend intellectual property rights to vaccines in a limited way during a pandemic. India and South Africa have filed requests to the World Trade Organization (WTO) to suspend the COVID-19 vaccine and drug patents, which are supported by 100 countries. Then other companies can also make vaccines. COVAX coordinator Benjamin Schreiber is deploying COVID-19 vaccine to the poorest and most isolated countries in the world. Connecting with him are 2 colleagues of UNICEF branches in Panama and Haiti – 2 countries with immunization delays. In Haiti, the vaccination team is ready, but problems are hampering vaccine shipments. Fuel in Haiti is quite expensive, roads are poor … Schreiber persistently connects with people in Haiti every day. Nguyen Thanh Hai ( (According to spiegel, April 24, 2021) )

However, in the past few days, many Now drivers have expressed frustration with the new application policy of this application. Reply Zing , Mr. Huu Thinh – a delivery officer of Now in Hanoi – said the ability to match orders has existed for a long time. However, recently, this way of processing applications of Now has many shortcomings that affect the driver’s income. A shipper of Now receives food from the restaurant to deliver to customers. Photo: Chi Hung. High discount with single graft Mr. Thinh said that he and many other drivers were very frustrated when Now cut their delivery money with the transplant form. For example, Now normally charges a customer of 15,000 VND per application for a distance of less than 3 km, two applications are 30,000 VND (excluding surcharges). But with the compound application, Now only pays the driver 19,000-21,000 VND / application, the rest 9,000-11,000 is collected by the company. Meanwhile, many applications combine the distance between the two shops nearly 5 km, which is a disadvantage for the driver. “I received a 5.2 km application for 22,500 VND, but added a total distance of 6.4 km but only added 8,000 VND. While I spent a lot of time waiting for the second application, making the first order call. electricity urged continuously, “he said. It took me a long time to wait for the second application, causing the first customer to call continuously Huu Thinh, Driver Now in Hanoi According to Mr. Thinh, receiving the transplant application not only affects the driver but also reduces the quality of delivery service. Drivers have to wait for food in different restaurants, making the waiting time for customers to prolong. “Customers understand better, but many people wait a long time, they will underestimate the cold food”, he lamented. Mr. KT (Hung Yen), a driver Now said delivery by motorbike, but the system always measures the shortest distance (usually by road). “The fact that the pedestrian street is usually the opposite direction, going through the stairs … This makes the driver’s distance displayed on the app not true,” he said. “Combining the application, the driver should be entitled to the money of 2 applications, why from the starting point to the last delivery”, this driver annoyed. Not only that, according to Mr. T., Now combined the application but did not ask if the customer agreed or not, but still collected enough money as a normal order. He confirmed that some support specialists also instructed drivers to lie to customers. Need a reasonable coupling policy According to some drivers, Now’s process when pairing the application requires the driver to finish picking up the goods at both shops, then start delivering them to customers. If the driver delivers a form first, the system will report to the switchboard “arbitrary delivery”, the position now does not match the previous location. That could cause the driver partner to have their account locked out. Mr. Tran Minh (Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi) often uses Now to order food. He said that he recently placed orders only about 1-2 km, but the driver took 40 minutes to deliver. “Find out that the driver was complained but could not add any money,” he said. According to him, Now’s application pairing does not optimize travel distance and costs for drivers, even affecting the quality of customers’ dishes. Many Now drivers are frustrated with the app’s way of handling the app. Photo: Thanh Thuong. Previously, on April 16, a few days after the application updated the automatic receipt feature for priority coupons, many drivers were frustrated because Now did not recognize the driver’s reward points performance, trying love “forcing” the driver to receive the application. Immediately after that, the application issued a message that this problem was caused by a system error. “Because it affects the rights, the drivers speak up. We just hope that the single policy is reasonable, both facilitating partners and not affecting customers”, Mr. Duy Quang (Tan Phu, Ho Chi Minh City) – a driver Now – share. Zing Contact Now to inquire about the matter, but the company has not yet responded. NowFood was originally a member of Foody, a social network that reviews and shares food and drink places. With food delivery service, from 2016 up to now, this application has developed a dense system of restaurant partners and continuously brings promotional campaigns to customers. Now held the “throne” in this segment for a long time until GrabFood, GoFood and Baemin appeared. According to data from market research firm Euromonitor, the online food delivery market in Vietnam is expected to reach about 38 million USD by 2020 and maintain an average growth rate of 11% in the next 5 years. Research by Kantar TNS – a multinational market research company in Vietnam – also shows that this market revenue has an average growth rate of 28.5% per year, up to $ 449 million by 2023. .

The European Union has agreed with the manufacturers BioNTech and Pfizer to deliver a further 100 million corona vaccine doses. This means that the EU will now definitely receive a total of 600 million vaccine doses for the 27 member states, announced the pharmaceutical companies. The 100 million cans already contain the 50 million that the EU announced last week that they would be delivered. The Commission had already agreed on an option for this additional vaccine at the beginning of the year, which is now being implemented.

Cans cover around two thirds of EU needs

“The additional 100 million vaccine doses from this option will help accelerate vaccination campaigns in the EU,” said BioNTech board member Sean Marett. The 600 million cans covered about two thirds of the needs of the European population. According to this, 250 million cans are to be delivered in the second quarter. That is four times as many cans as in the first quarter. EU Commission head Ursula von der Leyen also confirmed a few days ago that the Commission is holding talks with both companies about a further contract for 1.8 billion cans for delivery in the next year and the year after. The EU’s vaccination campaign has recently been criticized time and again for being too slow.

On April 9, Jitu was fined for dumping at a low price and rushed to the top search list on Weibo. On the same day, Yiwu Post Administration issued a warning letter to Jitu, stating that Jitu Distribution Center and multiple express mail processing sites had potential safety hazards. Yiwu Post Administration had notified Jitu four times and warned that “Do not use far “Dumping at a price lower than cost”, but Jitu has not rectified as required, so it sent a letter requesting it to make rectification.

Jitu Express was previously considered to be a Pinduoduo department. After it was punished, Pingduoduo issued a statement on April 12, clarifying that it has no special cooperation or investment relationship with Jitu Express. At the same time, in the process of developing customers for some of the Super Rabbit Express outlets, the staff distributed to the merchants “Pinduoduo orders can be exempted from false delivery related penalties and the probability of being penalized is low”, “There are Pinduoduo investment, If the two parties have a special cooperative relationship” and other false information, Jitu Express will be punished by increasing the margin for business cooperation.

According to media reports, in March, Jitu Express adopted a strategy of strong subsidies. As a result, the price of Yiwu Express delivery was hit below 1 yuan. Small items with a daily shipment of more than 10,000 pieces can be delivered at 1 yuan, which is the lowest in quality. Can do 8 cents. (Text | Qiao Yu of AI Finance and Economics Agency)

The food is delicious not because it is processed from high-quality foods, by sophisticated methods … but it is delicious only because of the circumstances, the situation. The fiber of banh canh was white as if it looked like it, taut and smooth. Banh canh made of non-glutinous rice flour (different from the kind of rice cake made from filter flour in Hue) with is a popular rice fiber, popular in the cuisine of Central and South. In the North, in the past, banh canh was not present because it could not squeeze its legs with vermicelli, pho, vermicelli, noodles, and rice cakes out here. However, there is also one thing that looks a bit like banh canh, which is the noodle noodle with a noodle the size of a rice chopstick, which is used to cook vermicelli soup with anabas and celery or crab with vegetables. spinach, onion … However, it is still vermicelli because it is not chewy, crispy, and smooth like banh canh. But between vermicelli and banh canh, there is a great sympathy, because it is the kind of rice thread of the popular people, the street.

How did the delivery stop come about?

In the USA, a vaccination ban with the active ingredient from Johnson & Johnson has been imposed. The CDC and the FDA had recommended this exposure. The reason for this were noticeable side effects: Six people were diagnosed with sinus vein thrombosis – that is, cerebral vein thrombosis – between six and 13 days after the vaccination. In three cases, thrombocytopenia, i.e. a lack of blood platelets, also occurred. They are women between the ages of 18 and 48 years. The delivery of the Covid-19 vaccine to the European Union had only started on Monday. Johnson & Johnson has committed to delivering 55 million cans by the end of June, with a total of 200 million cans to the EU this year. Because of the reports of complications, the US manufacturer postponed its delivery to the EU countries.

How many doses of the vaccine did Germany expect?

According to previous delivery commitments, Germany expects around ten million doses of the Johnson & Johnson preparation for the second quarter. These are now canceled. A first delivery of more than 230,000 doses of the corona vaccine arrived at the Bundeswehr pharmacy in Quakenbrück (district of Osnabrück) on Tuesday. All corona vaccination doses for Germany will first be brought there. From there the vaccine should then be distributed to the federal states.

Are there now further vaccination delays in Germany?

Not clear. The SPD health politician Karl Lauterbach does not expect any lasting damage to the vaccination campaign in Germany. The thrombosis cases were to be expected after the cases with the similar vaccine from AstraZeneca, according to Lauterbach im Deutschlandfunk . He assumes that the complication is so rare that after a while the vaccine will be vaccinated again in the USA and the start of vaccination will then also begin in Europe. In Bavaria, for example, a spokesman for the state health ministry told the Reuters news agency that the provisional delivery stop would not require any changes to vaccination planning in Bavaria. The vaccine had not yet been fed into the vaccination logistics. This is different in Brandenburg: Also because 6,700 vaccine doses from Johnson & Johnson would not initially be delivered to Brandenburg, this exacerbates the already existing bottlenecks, said State Interior Minister Michael Stübgen. Appointments for first vaccinations would be stopped.

How is the EU reacting to the delivery stop?

The European Commission has ordered a total of 50 million additional doses of corona vaccine from BioNTech / Pfizer. They should be delivered by the end of June. BioNTech / Pfizer also agreed to deliver the cans scheduled for the fourth quarter as early as the end of April. The total delivery volume from Biontech / Pfizer for the second quarter increases to 250 million cans. These are distributed across the EU.

How does the Johnson & Johnson vaccine work?

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is – just like that from AstraZeneca – a so-called vector vaccine. The genetic blueprint of part of the coronavirus is packaged in a weakened carrier virus that is not harmful to humans. This carrier virus brings parts of the genetic material of the virus into the cell. The human cell replicates these parts of the virus. The immune system reacts and makes antibodies. This makes Johnson & Johnson’s mode of action the same as that of the AstraZeneca vaccine. However, only one dose of vaccine is required for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. All other active ingredients previously approved in Germany must be vaccinated twice.

What causes the thrombosis?

Scientists believe it may be related to the specific type of these vaccines. “The fact that both vaccines are based on the same principle and cause the same problems, in my opinion, suggests that the vector itself is the cause,” said Johannes Oldenburg from the Bonn University Hospital of the German Press Agency. However, this is speculative at the moment. It is theoretically also conceivable that the spike protein of the virus, which is presented to the immune system in all available vaccines for the formation of antibodies, causes the side effects, explained Oldenburg. It is also fundamentally possible that the side effects are triggered unspecifically as part of the general immune response. Clemens Wendtner, chief physician at Munich Clinic Schwabing, also suspects that the side effects of both vaccines are based on a similar mechanism. “In the case of Johnson & Johnson, we have the same side effects that we have with AstraZeneca,” says Wendtner. “The question arises as to whether there is a class effect here, in other words the adenoviruses that are used as vectors that trigger problems.” Scientists at the University Medical Center Greifswald suspect a possible cause of the complications that the thrombosis is a defense reaction of the blood platelets. This led to the formation of blood clots in the brain.

What were the consequences of similar side effects with AstraZeneca?

Rare cases of thrombosis in the past few weeks had sowed doubts about the AstraZeneca vaccine and led to a temporary stop of vaccinations with this agent. By April 8, 46 cases of sinus vein thrombosis after vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine (new name: Vaxzevria) had been reported to the Paul Ehrlich Institute, in 24 cases additionally thrombocytopenia. Five women and three men died. With the exception of seven cases, all reports concerned women between the ages of 20 and 66 years. The men were 24 to 58 years old. In Germany, this vaccine can now only be used without restriction in people aged 60 and over .

What are cerebral vein thrombosis?

Sinus vein thrombosis is blood clot in veins in the brain that drain blood from the brain. Symptoms can be headache, but also epileptic seizures, paralysis or speech disorders. According to the Paul Ehrlich Institute, the blood clots in the cerebral veins occurred together with thrombocytopenia, i.e. a lack of blood platelets. Platelets are also responsible for blood clotting. A lack of platelets leads to an increased tendency to bleed. Symptoms include punctiform bleeding into the skin or mucous membranes, and severe nosebleeds are also possible.

After President Biden came to power in January, the US State Department asked to reconsider the deal passed under former US President Donald Trump. Previously, there was a lawsuit asking to block the deal on the grounds that the UAE was involved in a conflict in Yemen and supported General Khalifa Haftar’s forces in Libya. In this regard, the US State Department said it planned to conduct a candid and continuous dialogue with the UAE.

In the statement, the State Department spokesperson stated that the US administration intends to launch the sale of fighter jets to the UAE, along with reviewing the details, consulting UAE officials to ensure said the two sides to understand the UAE obligations before, during and after delivery. The handover deadline will be in the next few years.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Gregory Meeks has expressed concern about the deal. According to this congressman, since the handover of the aircraft will not take place soon, the National Assembly will have plenty of time to evaluate whether to proceed with the deal, as well as whether to impose terms or arguments do not have any restrictions.

If the deal is enforced, the UAE will be the first Arab country to receive F-35 fighters, aircraft capable of gathering intelligence, attacking deep into the territory of the target and combat in the air. Under the plan, the UAE will receive 50 F-35s, equivalent to the fleet size of Israel.
