Flex Protect that comes with Four- layered Protection and Anti-microbial Coating has been approved by The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for use by the front-line health workers who are fighting the battle against COVID-19. The protective coverall is made from a combination of Non-Woven Polypropylene Fabric and further impregnated with Anti-Microbial PP Coating through a special process to increase the breathability. As compared to other PPE Kits, the Flex-Protect Coverall Standard is made of 70 GSM which makes it very comfortable and flexible, and fit to be worn for long hours as well. In Flex Protect Coverall Standard, there are four- layers of security starting with First zipper, followed by Velcro, then Second zipper, and finally a Permanent Seal Tape. The edges of the PPE kit are secured with high strength seam cover that shields all the holes created during stitching. The coveralls are designed with double forearm, providing safety for the healthcare workers. The equipment comes with multi- layer fastening that seals all the inlet ways. Listing the attributes and USP of the PPE Coverall, N Siva Shankaran, Vice President- Packaging Business at UFlex commented, “Most PPE Coverall available in the market are not breathable at all. The user sweats heavily due to perspiration and this causes a great deal of discomfort to them. Flex Protect has almost 30% better breathability while also conforming to ISO 16603 (Resistance to Blood and Body Fluids) which is mandatory against infection causing virus not to enter the coverall through the fabric.” Adding, “Breathability and ultimate protection by design are the USPs of Flex Protect. It is far superior to the fabric available in the market there by giving utmost comfort and ultimate protection to the para-medical staff who are currently in great danger of contamination and discomfort.” The PPE Coverall developed by UFlex and IIT-Delhi has been tested well for being anti- microbial. The South Indian Textiles Research Association (SITRA) has certified the fabric of PPE Coverall being compliant with Dry Microbial Penetration Resistance Test thereby implying fabric’s protection against infectious agents. The anti-microbial coating will help in eliminating the microbes which comes in contact with the surface of the coverall, thereby creating the first line of defence”. 1 On achieving this feat, Jeevaraj Pillai, Joint President, Packaging and New Product Development, UFlex said, “With rising cases of corona and scarcity of PPE Coverall, UFlex and IIT-Delhi recognized the opportunity towards playing a vital part in battle against COVID-19. We synergized our expertise in developing a Coverall that arrests the existing challenges in PPE Coverall and elevating the security of healthcare and other front-line workers who wear these Coverall for hours together. With the launch of our PPE Coverall that combines the advantages of longer wear and complete defense against coronavirus, we aim to make the world’s citizens safe, by arming the front-line workers with Flex Protect coveralls. The approval from DRDO is hugely encouraging for us, adding impetus to our efforts.” On successful development of this revolutionary kit, Prof. Harpal Singh, Head, Centre for Biomedical Engineering at IIT- Delhi said, “Centre for Bio Medical Engineering, IIT, Delhi has worked very closely with UFlex, Noida on the development of Breathable Fabric to be used in Flex Protect Coverall. The response and reaction time in the development was fast and excellent and it is the endeavour of IIT to collaborate with industrial partners for research and development to strengthen the domestic industry capability for providing devices and products in times of national emergencies. IIT Delhi is happy to have UFlex as our industrial partner in this challenging project.” https://www.manufacturingtodayindia.com/products-suppliers/7461-uflex-iit-delhi-jointly-develop-ppe- coverall-with-anti-microbial-coating Fri, 29 May 2020 Uflex develops protective coverall 'Flex Protect' jointly with IIT-Delhi and INMAS, DRDO, Delhi Uflex has recently developed a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Coverall 'Flex Protect' in joint collaboration with IIT-Delhi and INMAS, DRDO, Delhi.

Over the last month and a half, the CCMB established stable cultures of Covid-19 causing coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, from patients'' samples. A team of researchers led by CCMB virologist, Dr. Krishnan H. Harshan have isolated infectious viruses from several isolates. The ability to culture the virus in the lab enables the CCMB to work towards vaccine development and testing potential drugs to fight Covid-19. It also makes them a potential donor of the culture to other authorised centres that can continue growing the virus for their own use. Explaining how SARS-CoV-2 affects humans, he said that it infects epithelial cells in human respiratory tract. "The viruses infect these cells by interacting with receptor proteins called the ACE-2 following which the virus is internalised by a process namely endocytosis. Virus RNA is later released into the cytoplasm of the cells where it makes viral proteins first and then starts to replicate the genomic RNA. Thus, the virus uses resources from these cells to make more copies of itself.

    Japan's Defense Diplomacy in South East Asia

    ISSN 2464-9929, Global Politics Review 5, no. 1-2 (2019): 6-49. Japan’s Defense Diplomacy in South East Asia Daniel Foulkes Leon* Abstract: Through an empirical case study analysis, this article analyses Japan’s defense diplomacy in the South East Asian nations of Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam during the period from 2006 to 2016. Defense diplomacy is an element of statecraft that uses a nation’s military and security institutions in a non-coercive, peaceful manner to enhance military cooperation and to seek military reform with another nation. This article traces the evolution of Japan’s defense diplomacy in its evolving security environment and identifies its character based on See Seng Tang and Bhubhindar Singh’s typology of “pragmatic” or “transformative” defense diplomacy, contributing important elements in the study of Japan’s defense diplomacy strategy and engagement in South East Asia. Keywords: Defense Diplomacy, Japan, South East Asia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines. Received: April 5, 2019. Accepted: May 10, 2019. Published: May 19, 2019. Introduction n May 2017 Japan’s largest naval vessel in the Maritime Self Defense Forces, the JS Izumo, arrived in Vietnam as part of the Pacific Partnership naval exercise, focused on Ihumanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HA/DR).1 This multilateral naval exercise led by the United States with Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan as participating countries, involved a series of host nations in professional training opportunities, workshops and field training exercises. In March 2017, the Philippine Navy had also received two patrol aircraft from Japan with the purpose of aiding its future maritime patrol and HA/DR capabilities.2 Philippine Navy pilots undertook training in Japan from November 2016 to March 2017.

One of the important contribution to this feat is precise orbit estimation. Mars Orbiter Mission was launched on 5th November 2013 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, India by India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C25. The spacecraft was placed in an elliptical orbit of 248.4 X 23550 km around Earth. MOM revolved about 25 days around the Earth and performed six maneuvers to achieve the escape velocity. After a sequence of five Earth bound maneuvers, the satellite apogee was raised to 190000 km, and through Trans Mars Injection on 30th November, 2013 the spacecraft was allowed to escape Earth sphere of influence and was put into Mars Transfer Trajectory orbit around Sun.

  • Defence Diplomacy: Conceptual and Practical Dimensions W Ith Specific Reference to South Africa

    Defence Diplomacy: Conceptual and Practical Dimensions W Ith Specific Reference to South Africa

    DEFENCE DIPLOMACY: CONCEPTUAL AND PRACTICAL DIMENSIONS W ITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO SOUTH AFRICA Prof Anton du Plessis Departm ent of Political Sciences University of Pretoria ABSTRACT This article explores defence diplomacy with reference to South Africa. Although the use of military means for diplomatic purposes is an es- tablished practice in South Africa, it is argued that as defence foreign relations, South African defence diplomacy approximates a military adjunct to diplomacy rather than a distinct type of diplomacy. At one level, its importance in a changing environment and use for foreign and security policy purposes are recognised in principle, whereas, at another level, defence diplomacy has become an overarching term for defence foreign relations. As a result, defence diplomacy does not receive the recognition it deserves. Conceptually, this is due less to the precarious relationship between various foreign policy instru- ments, and more to an underestimation of the nature, scope and utility of defence diplomacy. Practically, and due in part to conceptual am- biguity, this underestimation is reinforced by a lack of integration with foreign and defence policy and corresponding military policy and strat- egy, as well as by defence diplomacy being restricted to its military- defence policy context rather than enhanced by its diplomatic-foreign policy context. These conclusions are based on a brief exposition of the relationship between the military and diplomatic instruments of foreign policy; an account of the nature and scope of defence diplo- macy and related concepts; an overview of what accordingly con- stitutes South African defence diplomacy; and a concluding assess- ment and evaluation of its future prospects and constraints.

Strengthening the C4ISR Capabilities of India’s Armed Forces: The Role of Small Satellites ABSTRACT Small satellites have gained considerable importance in recent years. Although small spacecraft have existed for decades, their military applications have recently gained prominence owing to technological advances in their development and integration into the armed services of the major spacefaring countries across the world. This paper analyses the significance of small satellites in the C4ISR capabilities of the three service branches of the Indian military. Small satellites are not a panacea for the C4ISR needs of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force, but will help partially address their sensor-related requirements. They also contribute to a multi-layered and distributed capability for the Indian armed services. Investment in Small Satellites should assume greater salience in Indian defence planning in the coming years.

    SECURITY DIMENSIONS INTERNATIONAL & NATIONAL STUDIES NO. 20; 2016 (179–194) DOI 10.24356/SD/20/9 MILITARY DIPLOMACY AND ITS PRESENT FUNCTIONS PhDr. Erik Pajtinka, Ph.D. Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia ABSTRACT Military diplomacy can be defined as a set of activities carried out mainly by the repre- sentatives of the defence department, as well as other state institutions, aimed at pursuing the foreign policy interests of the state in the field of security and defence policy, and whose actions are based on the use of negotiations and other diplomatic instruments. This meaning differs military diplomacy from some other related phenomena such as gunboat diplomacy or coercive diplomacy. Military diplomacy as such performs several basic functions, which include the following: 1. Gathering and analysing of information on the armed forces and the security situation in the receiving state, 2. Promotion of co- operation, communication and mutual relations between the armed forces of the sending and the receiving state, 3. Organization of working visits of representatives of the defence authorities and of peaceful stay of the military units of the sending state in the receiving state, 4. Support of business contracts with arms and military equipment between the sending and the receiving state, and 5. Representation of the sending state and its armed forces at official ceremonies and other events in the receiving state.
