Unfortunately, due to strategic economic reasons of the only stakeholder of the company, Medicago has ceased operations in February 2023. It is important to highlight that this decision does not seem to be related to the quality of the vaccine or any other technical or scientific reason, but just to the strategy of the company in relation to the market circumstances.FPS decided to open a second volume in order to make room to new relevant contributions that we kept receiving about the issue. Now four new articles have been published in this second volume, a review article and three ones containing new original researches.The re... |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
