Past progress has lead to future promises of dramatic growth in 3D scanning and direct digital manufacturing. Is this a realistic vision or a distant dream? What changes must occur to make this technological fact instead of science fiction? Who will be affected and how? Will the change be evolutionary or revolutionary?
Leveraging the past and building on the present, these questions are investigated to reveal the impact, opportunity and challenge of change in 3D scanning and direct digital manufacturing.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and named after the Roman god of war. It has an average distance from the Sun of 230 million km and takes 687 days to complete its orbit. A day on Mars is only slightly longer than an Earth day at 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds, while a Martian year equals 1.8809 Earth years or 1 year, 320 days, and 18.2 hours.
The document discusses global warming and greenhouse gas emissions. It identifies the primary greenhouse gases as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide which are emitted through activities like burning fossil fuels and decomposition of waste. It notes that atmospheric concentrations of these gases have increased significantly since the industrial era due to human activity. The document also examines the role of energy and emissions by sector in contributing to climate change. Finally, it outlines some of the potential effects of global warming and solutions to address rising greenhouse gas levels.

The document discusses the Pythagorean theorem and distance formula. The Pythagorean theorem states that for any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It provides an example of using the theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse. The distance formula is used to calculate the distance between two points and similarly involves subtracting the x- and y-coordinates and squaring and summing the results before taking the square root of the total.

Rene Descartes was a French philosopher born in 1596 who is considered the founder of Cartesian coordinates, which express the position of points in space as a set of numbers. While watching a fly move around on a ceiling, Descartes realized he could describe its location using distances from the walls of the room, which led him to develop a system of coordinates to describe the position of any point, inventing the Cartesian coordinate system.
Derreck went to the store where CDs cost $4 each. If he received 3 CDs, how much did he pay? The document then shows the step-by-step work to solve this proportions problem: 3 CDs at $4 each means 3 * $4 = $12 total. The document also contains an example of solving a percent problem by setting it up as a proportion and showing the steps to cross multiply and divide to find the solution. In a unit reflection, the author notes that they liked examples that provided background context, disliked percent problems, and found setting up percent problems correctly to be the hardest part.

We study the effects of gender board diversity on firm performance. We use novel and rich firm-level data covering over seven million private and public firms spanning the years 1995-2020 in Europe. We augment a standard TFP estimation with a shift-share instrument for gender board diversity. We find that increasing the share of women in the boardroom is conducive to better economic performance. The results prove robust in a variety of subsamples, and to a variety of sensitivity analyses. This outcome is driven primarily by firms from the service sector. The positive impact was stronger during the more recent years of our sample that is a period with relatively more board diversity.

Harvard Business School led 2024 study used Google Trends to prove freelance jobs based on manual-intensive skills (e.g., data entry and virtual office services, music and video services requiring human performers, and online tutoring services) were less affected by the proliferation of Generative AI and ChatGPT on online marketplaces like HostJane.com and Upwork over automation-prone jobs (e.g., writing, software development, iOS/Android app development, and WordPress web development).
Economic Revitalization for Pakistan: An OverviewVaqar Ahmed
?
The "Draft Economic Agenda 2018" by SDPI outlined a framework for Pakistan's economic revitalisation, addressing deep-rooted structural issues.
The project work highlighted the country's persistent challenges: low productivity, inequitable distribution of wealth, environmental degradation, and a narrow tax base. It critiqued the prevailing growth model, which it argued has exacerbated inequalities and neglected human development.
The agenda advocated for a paradigm shift, emphasizing:
? Inclusive Growth: Prioritizing job creation, poverty reduction, and equitable access to resources, particularly for marginalized groups.
? Sustainable Development: Integrating environmental considerations into economic planning, promoting renewable energy, and addressing climate change impacts.
? Industrial Diversification: Moving away from reliance on traditional sectors, fostering innovation, and promoting value-added manufacturing.
? Human Capital Development: Investing in education, healthcare, and skills training to enhance productivity and competitiveness.
? Fiscal Reforms: Expanding the tax base, improving tax administration, and reducing reliance on external debt.
? Agricultural Transformation: Promoting sustainable agriculture, improving land management, and enhancing food security.
? Energy Security: Diversifying energy sources, promoting renewable energy, and improving energy efficiency.
? Regional Cooperation: Strengthening trade and economic ties with neighboring countries.
? Governance Reforms: Enhancing transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in economic decision-making.
The agenda proposed specific policy recommendations, including:
? Targeted investments in infrastructure, education, and healthcare.
? Incentives for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
? Reforms to improve the ease of doing business.
? Measures to promote financial inclusion.
? Policies to address climate change and environmental degradation.
