First Online Symposium on SDGs

 

Dr. Mahmoud Mohieldin, who is the World Bank Group's senior vice president for the 2030 Development Agenda, UN Relations, and Partnerships and who currently serves as a board member on the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, as well as an observer to the EU Multi-Stakeholder Platform for the SDGs, delivered a lecture on the 20th of May 2021 at October University for Modern Sciences and Arts, titled: “Future of Youth in SDGs”. The lecture was  moderated by Dr. Doaa Salman after introductory remarks by Dr. Nawal ElDegwi. Dr. Mohieldin stated the adverse impact of the COVID crisis on the youth, especially on their education and jobs.

Dr. Mohieldin warned of the uneven diverging recovery between the rich countries and the developing countries which can be clearly seen in the uneven response to the crisis and the uneven access to the vaccine. This divergence will only worsen the progress towards achieving the SDGs.

Dr. Mohieldin concluded his remarks by highlighting the importance of pushing investments in sustainability & green economy, digital transformation, governance systems, and social safety nets which all shall be executed within the holistic framework of Sustainable Development Goals. Those investments need to take into consideration the new global dynamics of the 4th wave of debt, digital disruptions, and shifting center of global economic gravity.

 

During the symposium, Dr. Nawal El-Degwi on her part stressed the importance of taking into account the sustainability dimension in all university activities due to its effects on all other fields, especially pointing to the students’ keenness on including it in their projects and research implemented at the university, and the university’s consideration of the future of sustainability dimension.

Second Online Symposium on SDGs

 

On the 24th of May 2021, the Minister of Environment of the Arab Republic of Egypt, H.E. Dr. Yasmine Fouad, participated in the symposium hosted by October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA) and the Faculty of Management Sciences on “The Role of Youth in Serving Sustainable Development Issues”.

Dr. Yasmine Fouad, Minister of Environment, participated in the symposium through the video conferencing feature, in the presence of a number of university professors and students.

During the symposium, the Minister of Environment explained that the Egyptian government attaches great importance to the environmental sector due to its great effects on all aspects of life, noting that the government seeks not only to protect the environment but also to sustain resources to ensure their survival for future generations, and there are many programs that are implemented to reduce pollution rates in all areas. Its forms include air, water, soil and other pollution. The government is also working to integrate the environmental dimension into all sectors of the state through coordination and cooperation with all ministries. The government is also aware of the importance of raising citizens’ environmental awareness of various environmental issues through the Prepare for Green initiative that was launched to raise environmental awareness.

During the symposium, the Minister of Environment answered the students’ questions, through which she explained the efforts made by the ministry to limit the use of single-use plastic bags, referring to the law regulating waste management, for which the executive regulation is being worked on and which will regulate all activities related to waste in all its forms, explaining that there are about 3000 facilities working in the field of plastic manufacturing and that the decision to completely ban the use of plastic will lead to their closure and there are workers who earn their living from this profession, so the state seeks to organize that process and to work on converting these facilities to work in biodegradable plastic that does not pollute the environment, and to also find alternatives. Others are for plastic that is suitable for the daily use of citizens.

The Minister of Environment also answered the inquiries of some students about the implementation of projects that won an international award, noting that the ministry is working on implementing a youth project in the Saluja and Ghazal Reserve, which won an international award in the field of ecotourism, explaining that the ministry provides assistance to any young man who submits a distinguished project idea to the Ministry.

 

During the symposium, the Minister of Environment touched on biogas projects as a model for any young man wishing to work in the environmental field and make a financial profit. The implementation of these projects is also within the initiative of A Decent Life.

The Minister of Environment thanked the university’s faculty members for the invitation and for their interest in environmental issues and gave a lot of advice to young people on the need to preserve the environment and start with themselves. Individual behavior such as turning off unnecessary lights, turning off the tap and using bicycles is simple behavior, but it affects the overall environment.

During the symposium, Dr. Nawal El-Degwi on her part stressed the importance of taking into account the environmental dimension due to its effects on all other fields, pointing to the students’ keenness on including it in their projects and research implemented at the university, and to the university’s consideration of the environmental dimension ever since its inauguration, as it was originally designed to have a large percentage of green spaces. Dr. El-Degwi added that regarding the separation of waste, a number of students in the Department of Architecture implemented a model of building bricks that were made of sand to be compatible with the environment instead of bricks that depend in their manufacture on eroding the soil, and the process of burning them during their manufacture leads to polluting the environment, and this project obtained an invention patent.

MSA University - pharmacists in frontlines conference
 

Through two days the international conference of the Faculty of Pharmacy, MSA University shed light on many urgent health related topics. The conference title was “Pharmacists in frontlines: New challenges & innovative solutions”.

International keynote speakers have demonstrated important data and research that covered disease and patient wellbeing subjects.

The conference has reached very fruitful recommendations that can contribute to health research fields. These recommendations focused on the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) as an innovative out of the box tool for treatment. It is aimed to deliver antiviral siRNA either directly using cytosol targeting bacterial toxin or indirectly by using exosomes.

Widespread use of antibiotics should be discouraged, as they may lead to higher bacterial resistance rates, which will impact the burden of diseases and deaths in a population during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

Principles (IPC) and AMS need to be applied to the COVID-19 clinical management / decision making process in all healthcare settings.

It is also recommended to use Nanofibers as excellent nano formulations for targeting brain.

Bright future is waiting for AI as saving money & time in radiology based assisted diagnosis, genomics, drug prescription and drug interactions. Pharmacoeconomics and health economics open the gate for many job opportunities in academia, market research, epidemiology, data management, biostability and health care policy.

Monitoring of the safety of COVID-19 vaccines as the global pandemic requires continuous attention.

The trials for using new antiviral agents in influenza treatment is still an interest in virology due to resistance to previous antiviral agents. The concept of polypharmacology is of great value for medicinal chemists to apply in drug repurposing and repositioning in order to reach treatment in less time and cost for patient health.

All academics, researchers, industry professionals and students are welcomed to join us in this valuable gathering.

Strategic HRM Review in the Light of the Change in Business Environment after CoronaVirus Pandemic
 

Overview:

The discussion mainly targeted the review of the major features of HRM strategies after COVID-19 Pandemic, including: Reviewing operations and systems; cost centers with special focus on labor cost break-down; balanced and fair labour policies review; transforming training needs to fit the emerging business models; remote work and affiliated organizational structures; and performance evaluation direction shift.

 

Balancing the characteristically debatable views of the "regional labour representing organization-ALO" and "Arab labour governments' officials" in supporting labour forces; the "labour syndicates" and their pressure to ensure stable labour hiring and wage stability; and, the interests of businesses reasoned by the representatives of "chambers of commerce", formed the guiding rule that steered the direction of the discussion.

 

The discussion ensured the need for sustainable labour employment policies and regulations as a path to meet the challenges brought by the attack of the pandemic.

 

Attendees:

Representatives of 17 Arab Nation States / 79 Entity / 149 Participant of Labor Governments' Officials/ Chambers of Commerce/ Labour Syndicates/ and Business Enterprises.
