GambleAware recommissions the Scottish Gambling Education Hub delivered by Fast Forward

GambleAware has recommissioned the Scottish Gambling Education Hub for a further three years from 1st November 2021. The Hub has been delivered by the Scottish charity Fast Forward since 2018.

The Scottish Gambling Education Hub, funded by GambleAware, works with young people, and the adults in their lives, to raise awareness of gambling harms, and ensure that those working with young people and families are confident in their ability to offer harm reduction advice and signpost those who need it to advice and support.

The Hub’s mission will remain to ensure all children, young people and families in Scotland have access to gambling education and prevention opportunities and resources. Improvements to the current structure of the programme will be made, to ensure partners, practitioners, and policymakers remain engaged with the issue.

To date, the Hub has trained staff from more than 550 different organisations across all 32 local authorities in Scotland, including schools, colleges, universities, youth work and family services.

Since its creation, the Hub and the external evaluation provider, identified potential areas for improvement in the existing gambling training delivery model. Based on these insights the updated structure for the programme will offer a more tailored approach to gambling prevention and education training for professionals and practitioners. With an increased use of the existing training and resources, the availability of gambling harm awareness and support activities for children, young people, and families across Scotland will be improved.

In addition, in 2019, the Scottish Gambling Education Hub established the Scottish Gambling Education Network (SGEN) to bring together individuals from a variety of settings with the aim to share best practices, provide support and help establish, sustain, and improve gambling education and prevention provision across Scotland.  The Hub will continue to facilitate and broaden the scope of SGEN activities, introducing hosting a national conference in 2022.

The Scottish Education Hub will play a key part in supporting the creation of the English Education Hub and Welsh Education Hub, projects that will soon be commissioned by GambleAware to help the prevention of gambling harm among young people in both nations.

Dr Jane Rigbye, Prevention Director at GambleAware said: “Fast Forward has demonstrated its value as a key partner to prevent gambling harm among young people in Scotland. Given the success of the work already carried out, continuity is vital.

“The Scottish Education Hub has engaged with young people, parents, the community and youth workers in an impactful and creative way to deliver unique projects over the years.

“We are delighted to support them further in their prevention and education work and look forward to publishing the independent evaluation of the project for their work in 2022.”

Allie Cherry-Byrnes, Fast Forward’s CEO said: “Fast Forward’s work supports young people to make informed choices regarding risk-taking behaviours, towards positive life-long health outcomes.

“Gambling has become normalised in our communities, with many young people affected by their own gambling, or by the gambling of a parent, carer, or family member.

“The renewed funding from GambleAware means that the Scottish Gambling Education Hub will continue to work with young people, parents and educators to raise awareness of gambling harms and ensure support is accessible if they need it.”

ViewMind Named Among Business Worldwide Magazine’s Top 20 Most Innovative Companies to Watch, 2021

November 17, 2021 Published by

 

ViewMind is a neurotech company specializing in developing non-invasive evaluations for the early detection and management of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, using revolutionary eye-tracking technology.  This groundbreaking approach has led to the company being named by Business Worldwide Magazine in its list of “Top 20 Most Innovative Companies to Watch, 2021.”

The list is a celebration of the trailblazing organizations that are changing the game in their respective industries and altering the corporate landscape. Encompassing healthcare, banking, industry, construction, energy, and more, these companies are at the cutting edge of breakthrough technologies, innovation and modernized business structures. Those included have a shared goal of developing revolutionary products and technologies that drive scalable business models and disrupt established industries and markets.

As leaders in the biotech field, ViewMind have developed a solution that could improve (and even save) millions of lives. Using cutting edge technology in an immersive diagnosis, it allows for precise, neurocognitive health assessments, the likes of which have never been seen before.

Led by CEO Mark Edwards, the company set out to solve a problem posed by Bill Gates – how to find a relatable, affordable and easy-to-use diagnostic for stopping Alzheimer’s. it’s a crippling, devastating condition with over 50 million sufferers, and is the sixth leading cause of mortality in Americans aged 65 or over. The World Health Organization has ranked Alzheimer’s as the 7th leading cause of death globally, and it affects twice as many women as men.

ViewMind’s pioneering work is not only revolutionary from a technological point of view, but the solutions the company has developed have been clinically validated and their devices have been approved in several regions including Europe. ViewMind are partnering with tier one pharmaceutical companies around the world, and their solutions can enable physicians to detect conditions including Alzheimer’s as much as 20 years before symptoms appear.

The solution combines a non-invasive virtual reality eye tracking headset with ViewMind’s artificial intelligence (AI) application to identify minor alterations in how a patient’s eyes behave under certain visual stimuli processing. These oculomotor patterns are analysed by the software and allow the detection of pathologies with high precision. Historically, the most common form of testing has involved either cognitive pen and paper testing solutions, which were developed 30 to 50 years ago and required skilled assessors and time consuming to perform and lack objectivity. The physical condition of the brain is historically assessed with biomarkers using diagnostic solutions such as a lumbar puncture, a brain scan or a PET scan – all of which are both invasive and expensive.  Furthermore, these tests typically only take place once the patient has obvious symptoms – meaning the disease may be too far advanced and treatment is unlikely to have a significant impact. The Alzheimer’s pathology begins some 20 years before clinical symptoms, and ViewMind’s approach is revolutionary because it allows for early detection among patients with only mild cognitive impairment.

Operations are expanding globally, and this is clearly a company that’s poised for huge commercial success. For further details on ViewMind and its innovative plans, please visit the company website – https://www.viewmind.com/

50+ vacancies at Bangalore studio as enlarged premises secured, following doubled UK office space

Multiplatform games publisher Kwalee has expanded its Bangalore office space to accommodate a fast-growing team in the ‘Silicon Valley of India’.

Kwalee first expanded into India back in May 2020, although COVID-19 restrictions meant that all recruitment and working had to be done remotely for several months. Since then, a fantastic office has been secured in one of the city’s vibrant technology parks and the team in Bangalore has soared to well over 60 members.

With enough current vacancies in Bangalore to see that headcount double, and a projected investment of $30 million in the India studio over the next five years, Kwalee has cleared the way for further growth by revealing a significantly expanded office space in an official opening ceremony.

This office expansion in Bangalore follows the acquisition of expanded premises at the Leamington Spa headquarters too, with both offices effectively doubling in size in a commitment to future team growth.

With CEO David Darling, co-founder and former CEO of Codemasters, and a host of other senior UK-based team members able to safely visit the Bangalore studio for the first time, it was the perfect moment for a ribbon-cutting to mark how much progress has already been made.

As well as this, it was also the first opportunity for Bangalore and Leamington Spa-based colleagues to meet one another in person for the first time ever, despite having collaborated extensively on successful projects like the recent Traffic Cop 3D (6 million+ downloads in three weeks and a #1 app in the USA). A hybrid working model is now in place at Kwalee across all office locations, combining the best of in-studio collaboration and remote working.

“We’re delighted to be expanding our office space in India as part of our continuing commitment to global growth,” said Kwalee CEO David Darling. “It’s been great fun meeting the team in Bangalore for the first time in person and getting to know them even better. The team here has been pivotal in our successes since we set up the studio and it’s amazing to see the Bangalore team growing in size and influence.”

Kwalee’s team now includes more than 180 people across offices in Leamington Spa, Bangalore and Beijing. Combining these locations and permanent remote workers all around the world, Kwalee has employees across 14 countries

Molecular Stethoscope, Inc. Announces Presentation of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) Study at the AASLD Liver Meeting 2021

November 17, 2021 Published by

 

Molecular Stethoscope, Inc., a Precision Medicine biotechnology company, announces presentation of its human proof-of-concept study applying its proprietary cf-mRNA Liquid Biopsy Technology Platform for the study of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Annual Meeting – The Liver Meeting 2021. This study demonstrates the utility of the Company’s Technology Platform to identify dysregulated gene clusters in PSC patients and develop classifiers using liver-enriched cf-mRNA transcripts for PSC diagnosis.

Naga Chalasani, M.D., who is the lead author of this study and Professor of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Interim Chair in the Department of Medicine at Indiana University in the USA, commented that, “The identified, usually inaccessible, pathological gene clusters may inform response to candidate medicines in present clinical trials, as well as suggest future therapeutic targets; and the liver-enriched classifier may have utility for non-invasive molecular stratification of PSC patients for pharmacotherapy safety and response studies.” And Dr. Chalasani added, “New molecular tools to timely diagnose PSC in patients with ulcerative colitis is a critical unmet need.”

The study is titled “Noninvasive molecular characterization of primary sclerosing cholangitis using cell-free messenger RNA sequencing,” and it will be presented during The Liver Meeting 2021 session “PBC/PSC and Other Cholestatic Diseases.”

Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is a rare chronic disease of the bile ducts with an unknown cause and unpredictable course that results in scars and inflammation of the biliary system. Patients with PSC may develop severe liver problems including cirrhosis, cancer and the need for a liver transplant. Specifically, PSC patients are at increased risk for cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal cancer. With limited therapeutic options and a lack of proven monitoring strategies, there is a significant clinical unmet need for PSC patients.

Guillermo Elias, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer at Molecular Stethoscope stated, “We are excited to share the positive results of this PSC study with the medical and scientific communities. Together with our previously completed and published human proof-of-concept studies in NAFLD/NASH, Alzheimer’s Disease and Cancer (Transplant Oncology), this PSC study further de-risks our Technology Platform. We are now focused on building our clinical-grade pipeline to accelerate the development of products and solutions for clinical practice and BioPharma R&D.”

More information about the results of this study is available in the AASLD Liver Meeting 2021 website:

Publication Number: 1283. “Noninvasive molecular characterization of primary sclerosing cholangitis using cell-free messenger RNA sequencing.”

The British Amusement Machine Trade Association (Bacta) has appointed a new agency to oversee its public affairs, digital and public relations support, the organisation announced today.

SEC Newgate will provide communication services from February 2022 and will succeed Interel Group and Steph Norbury’s Upgrade PR in the new year. The move follows a multi-agency competitive pitch process.

The SEC Newgate team is led by Chris White, co-head of advocacy at SEC Newgate UK and a former Conservative Party special advisor.

Bacta was praised for its leadership during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw Bacta launch its nationwide campaign to highlight the plight of the British seaside arcade.

The Save Our Seaside programme called on all businesses in the sector, from arcadians to their all-important supply chain, to persuade government figures and parliamentarians to deliver policies to ease the economic burdens that are pushing many businesses close to the edge.

Bacta CEO John White said: “The decision to appoint SECNewgate came after a very competitive pitch process. Prospective providers brought insight and passion to the proposals they put to us.

“In the end we felt SEC Newgate offered the blend of public affairs and communication skills we needed to pivot BACTA’s political engagement towards a very exciting future for the industry post the gambling review.

“At the same time, we would also like to pay tribute to Interel and Steph Norbury for their hard-work and dedication throughout the course of our relationship and we wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

November 17, 2021 Published by

 

Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today released Observer 3D v18.6, enhancing the comprehensive network performance and monitoring (NPM) platform to enable true three-dimensional network observability across locations, data sources, and scales of deployment. Observer Apex is now available with Observer GigaTest active test functionality that augments GigaStor packet level analysis and GigaFlow enriched and enhanced flow insight. The combination of active testing with patented End-User Experience (EUE) scoring provides needed visibility into the performance of SaaS cloud hosted applications and service assurance for remote users.

According to the 2021 State of the Network survey from VIAVI, IT teams are moving past the disruptive challenges of 2020 with increased investment in new technologies and upgraded management tools. In parallel, large and medium enterprises reported a dramatic increase in shifting applications to the cloud, driven by improved service availability and reliability.

In response, VIAVI has augmented the well-established Observer platform with three dimensions of network observability:

  1. Location: Observer provides visibility in every environment, whether private cloud, public cloud, SaaS applications, remote users, on premise or in the data center.

  3. Scale of deployments: Observer offers a range of entry points for enterprises, enabling agility to adapt rapidly to a constantly evolving IT landscape.

“Our research has confirmed that most enterprises are permanently expanding their remote workforces, and have accelerated their cloud migrations,” said Shamus McGillicuddy, Vice President of Research at Enterprise Management Associates. “Now they need to equip their IT teams with the means to monitor and manage the labyrinth of connections between end users, applications and data, wherever they may be located.”

“The Observer platform has a rich history of adapting to emerging IT conditions, from the highest fidelity packet capture in the industry, to the first End-User Experience scoring powered by wire and active test data,” said Chris Labac, Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise & Cloud, VIAVI. “The addition of active test to the Observer 3D platform gives our customers visibility where they need it, from remote users to the cloud, and the ability to scale and adapt as their network and services landscapes evolve.”
