Sustainability Reporting Training to Shed Light on GRI Framework

Leading training provider will deliver three day training in Dubai

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Monday, December 5th 2016 [ME NewsWire]

Arabia CSR Network will organize a three day open training course in Dubai from 13th to 15th of December on Sustainability Reporting. The acclaimed course is developed by Global Reporting initiative, the leading international body that has brought out the renowned GRI G4 framework in the process of becoming the sustainability reporting standard. GRI is the most widely used framework for sustainability reporting in the world with over 20,000 reports already issued by public, private and civil society organisations across the globe.

The training will be facilitated by Arabia CSR Network, a certified training partner of GRI and a leading knowledge and service provider on CSR and sustainability in the Arab Region. Companies that produce a sustainability report are commonly viewed as ethical, responsible and transparent. The training will highlight the elements of the GRI framework, namely, stakeholder engagement and materiality. The training methodology will include pedagogical content and case examples, backed by discussion and exercises. All delegates that complete the stipulated number of training hours will be issued an e-certificate by GRI from its headquarters in Amsterdam.

The Arabia CSR Network is the only organisation to offer exclusive GRI courses in Arabic. To date, the Network has conducted 32 GRI trainings evolving from G3, G3.1 to G4. It has successfully trained 313 professionals, paving the way for 123 sustainability reports based on the GRI G4 framework in the region. Trainers have a strong expertise in all aspects of CSR and sustainability.  “Within 3 days, I had so many concepts, ideas and misconceptions clarified. The course is highly enlightening not only in subject matter but in the topic of sustainability in general,” said a delegate from the last training conducted by Arabia CSR Network.

Mrs. Habiba Al Marashi, CEO of the Arabia CSR Network, revealed that the network has become the favorite platform for those wishing to develop their capabilities to prepare CSR reports. She confirmed that sustainability reporting has become a means to scrutinize their practice of social responsibility, and to promote transparency.

Amano Dental Clinic (Japan) Launches Tooth Brushing App "Brush'n'Save" Created by Active Dentist to Ensure Cavity-Free Life for His Daughter

 - Master the habit of correct brushing just like a game! -

TOKYO - Monday, December 5th 2016 [ME NewsWire]



(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amano Dental Clinic (Director: Kiyoshi Amano) announces that it is now offering Dr. Amano’s originally created brushing app “Brush'n'Save” in an English version to 130 countries and regions all around the world.

Official website: https://goo.gl/e3GRj8

Tooth brushing app created by an active dentist

Dr. Amano, a currently active dentist, put his energy into creating this app thinking of his own teenage daughter, who was a bit lazy about brushing her teeth. He wanted his daughter to enjoy a life without cavities. After its launch, the app has received extensive media coverage and is hugely popular as one of the most downloaded apps in Japan. A large number of dental clinics recommend this app as a great tool for brushing instruction.

Benefits of using “Brush'n'Save”

1. People who are lazy about brushing their teeth are encouraged to brush of their own initiative.
2. The habit of correct brushing is naturally mastered.
3. Saving and competing for scores is fun, providing an incentive to keep at it without getting bored.
4. Following the app instructions for brushing means you won’t miss any spots.
5. Maintaining good oral hygiene helps prevent colds, which are easily transmitted orally.

Creator’s comment

The word “Save” is included in the app name because, if you don’t develop cavities or gum disease in the future, you can “save” the money and time you would otherwise spend on dental treatment.

New Data Show High Adherence Rates with Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate) in NVAF Patients

INGELHEIM, Germany - Monday, December 5th 2016 [ME NewsWire]

    New analysis of GLORIA™-AF Registry Program includes data from nearly 3,000 patients across the world1
    Data presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting1

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Boehringer Ingelheim today announced results from a new analysis of the GLORIA™-AF Registry Program, which showed that newly diagnosed non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients treated with Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate) had a 76.6 percent probability of remaining on treatment at one year and a 69.2 percent probability at two years. The results were presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA.1

“Patients with NVAF are at a five times greater risk for stroke, and the goal of anticoagulant therapy is to reduce this risk. It is critical for patients and physicians to understand the benefits of staying on prescribed treatment and the potential risks of discontinuing,” said Jonathan Halperin, M.D., the Robert and Harriet Heilbrunn Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, study author and member of the GLORIA™-AF steering committee. “In general, nearly half of patients discontinue oral anticoagulant therapy after only a year, so it is promising to see high adherence rates with Pradaxa® in this new analysis from the GLORIA™-AF Registry.”

The analysis was based on real-world data from 2,937 Pradaxa® patients receiving care at nearly 1,000 sites in 44 countries. Eighty-eight percent of the patients were considered at high risk for stroke (i.e., CHA2DS2-VASc score of 2 or higher), and many patients experienced other health conditions in addition to NVAF, including hypertension (78.9%), diabetes (22.7%) and heart failure (24.9%).1

“These latest results from the GLORIA™-AF Registry show that the majority of Pradaxa® patients follow their treatment plan as prescribed by their physician. By understanding how medicines are used in the real world, as well as the reasons why some patients might discontinue treatment, we can assist the medical community in identifying ways to improve patient outcomes,” said Professor Jörg Kreuzer, Vice President Medicine, Therapeutic Area Cardiovascular, Boehringer Ingelheim. “Pradaxa® is the only non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant with a specific reversal agent approved and widely available across the globe. This, combined with the vast body of data from real-world clinical practice, offers physicians, patients and carers added assurance in reducing stroke risk in NVAF patients.”

This press release is issued from our Corporate Headquarters in Ingelheim, Germany and is intended to provide information about our global business. Please be aware that information relating to the approval status and labels of approved products may vary from country to country, and a country-specific press release on this topic may have been issued in the countries where we do business.

Cambium Networks Announces New ePMP Elevate Platform, Adding New Capabilities to Existing Wireless Broadband Networks

Network operators around the world can now elevate their existing networks to the next level of performance and customer satisfaction – without expensive hardware replacements


ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill. - Wednesday, November 30th 2016 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cambium Networks, a leading global provider of wireless networking solutions, today announced ePMP™ Elevate, a software solution allowing outdoor wireless broadband networks to gain the powerful signature capabilities of Cambium Networks’ ePMP platform, including frequency reuse enabled by GPS Synchronization and Smart Beamforming, even on non-Cambium Networks 802.11n-based hardware. With ePMP Elevate, operators can bring industry-leading performance and scalability to existing infrastructure without the time and cost of replacing network equipment.

As it becomes increasingly important for wireless network operators to keep up with customer demands, the cost and time of traditional network migration methods can be major pain points. The launch of ePMP Elevate takes network migration to the next level, solving the challenges of traditional network migration methods at a fraction of the cost and time. Network operators simply need a single ePMP access point and to load their deployed subscriber modules with ePMP Elevate software. Their hardware investment is protected, and their existing infrastructure is given a new lease on life to support revenue-generating applications for years to come. Additionally, network operators are able to confidently extend high-speed connectivity and increase density to meet customer demand without the time and expense of dispatching technicians to each subscriber location.

“For years we have operated by limiting ourselves to no more than 25 subscribers per AP without seeing a rapid decline in overall AP performance,” said Ian Ellison, CTO, WISPER Internet and Co-Owner of BLIP Networks. “Through prior testing and deployment with ePMP, we knew that GPS synchronization would improve our network stability and spectral efficiency, but we had an equipment and labor investment in the installed base. ePMP Elevate allowed us to achieve synchronization and frequency re-use across our entire network by just replacing the APs. It’s affordable, improves network performance, boosts customer satisfaction, and most importantly allowed us to upgrade our infrastructure without costly truck rolls to replace customer equipment.”

“ePMP Elevate is a software solution that is hardware agnostic,” said Atul Bhatnagar, President and CEO of Cambium Networks. “Network operators with radio hardware from one or multiple vendors can now operate one network with a common management system without replacing installed CPE hardware.”

“Wireless broadband network operators around the world have been asking for this,” said Sakid Ahmed, Vice President, ePMP Business, at Cambium Networks. “Many started out years ago with small networks, but as demand for connectivity has grown, their existing networks cannot effectively scale. ePMP Elevate adds critical features to their 802.11n-based installed equipment and positions them for growth and increased customer satisfaction.”

ePMP Elevate networks can be managed by cnMaestro. This cloud-based or on-premise platform provides end-to-end management, device onboarding, and maintenance support for wireless broadband networks from a single, easy-to-use interface.

Cambium Networks is hosting a free webinar on ePMP Elevate to present the features, benefits, share actual field performance, and discuss deployment strategies. The webinar will be held on Wednesday, November 30, at 9:00 a.m. US CST.

About Cambium Networks:
