Is Compulsory Licencing an Effective Mechanism for Lowering Drug Prices After Trips: A Research from the Available Evidence
Abstract: While Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) was expected to raise the prices of patented medicines, there was no agreement on the agreement's likely final impact on access because it contained instruments to address this issue. Compulsory licencing, for example, was viewed as an important countermeasure due to the facilitation of price reductions. However, little is known about how effective compulsory licencing has been in lowering the prices of …

A New Paradigm in the Intersection of Science and Consciousness through the Microvita Theory
Abstract: Microvita theory, first proposed by philosopher Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, posits the existence of subtle energy-based entities called "Microvita" that act as the missing link between consciousness and matter. This paper explores Microvita as a novel conceptual framework that bridges the gap between particle physics, consciousness studies, and environmental sustainability. Unlike traditional scientific paradigms, which often exclude the non-material dimensions of reality, Microvita theory asserts that subtle energies and conscious forces …

Pathophysiology Reimagined: Integrating Systems Biology and AI for Disease Understanding
Abstract: Pathophysiology, the study of disease mechanisms at molecular, cellular, and systemic levels, has traditionally relied on reductionist approaches that often fail to capture the complex, dynamic, and interconnected nature of biological systems. Diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and infectious diseases arise from intricate interactions among genetic, epigenetic, metabolic, and environmental factors, necessitating integrative, data-driven methodologies for a deeper understanding. Systems biology has emerged as a powerful approach by leveraging …

The Role of Symmetry in Topological Insulators and Superconductors
Abstract: Topological insulators and superconductors constitute a class of quantum materials characterized by insulating bulks and symmetry-protected conducting boundaries. Symmetry principles, notably time-reversal (TRS), particle-hole (PHS), and chiral symmetry, play a fundamental role in determining the topological phases and their classification within the Altland-Zirnbauer scheme. TRS protects gapless surface states in topological insulators, while PHS stabilizes Majorana modes in topological superconductors. Symmetry-protected topology extends this framework by considering partial symmetry breaking, …
