pour superviser les accords commerciaux multilatéraux négociés par ses 128 Membres originels
l'OMC a connu une augmentation constante du nombre de ses Membres et un intérêt soutenu de la part de nombreuses économies souhaitant accéder à l'Organisation
le pourcentage du commerce mondial représenté par les Membres de l'OMC est passé de 87% en 1995 à plus de 98% aujourd'hui
Over the past 30 years, 60 countries and customs territories have applied for accession to the WTO. Of these, 38 have completed the process, bringing the WTO's total membership to 166
22 economies are currently at various stages of negotiating their accession
Although those seeking to join the WTO have followed similar paths of economic reform
WTO accession processes have varied significantly
Some completed the process relatively quickly – for example
after just three to four years of negotiations
the Kyrgyz Republic and Oman joined the WTO
spent nearly two decades in accession talks before becoming members
These longer timelines reflect the evolving nature of the accession process
Unlike accessions in the era of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)
WTO accessions require far-reaching structural reforms that go well beyond traditional trade-opening
often encompassing multiple sectors of the acceding economy
the process demands a thorough understanding of the applicant's economic systems
which must be underpinned by broad-based domestic consensus
do governments choose to undertake the rigorous demands of WTO accession
the answer lies in a desire to modernize institutions and regulatory practices
enhance the business environment and attract foreign direct investment
These motivations often go hand-in-hand with broader national goals
poverty reduction and sustainable development
have been central to the evolution of many economies
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in 1991
international trade played a pivotal role in transforming the economies of the newly independent states and in strengthening their ties with the global economy
WTO membership served as a powerful vehicle for the modernization of these economies
as well as of other formerly centrally planned economies
and most recently Comoros and Timor-Leste in 2024 – making a total of 11 LDC accessions to date – have used the accession process to lay the foundations for poverty reduction and sustainable economic growth
WTO membership was soon followed by graduation from LDC status (in 2008
including the Lao People's Democratic Republic
graduation is expected before the end of this decade
As many LDCs began their accession processes while classified as "fragile and conflict-affected states"
WTO membership has also played an important role in reshaping perceptions of their economic and development potential
A review of both completed and ongoing accessions underscores that the WTO accession process serves as a catalyst for domestic reform
helping to create an enabling environment for economic resilience and sustainable growth
In the same way that WTO accessions have anchored domestic transformations
accessions have also benefitted the global trading system
the percentage of world trade accounted for by WTO members has risen from 87 per cent in 1995 to over 98 per cent today
Despite the proliferation of free trade agreements and the sharp rise in tariff barriers, the vast majority of this trade – still more than 70 per cent – continues to be conducted under the WTO's most-favoured-nation (MFN) principles
This has promoted the integration of global supply chains and
has lowered trading costs for all WTO members
The scope of the WTO can also be measured in terms of population
the original members represented just 69 per cent of the world's population
the WTO has extended its reach to an additional 2 billion people – further strengthening the inclusiveness and global relevance of the multilateral trading system
Beyond their individual reforms, economies that have joined the WTO since 1995 have made substantial systemic contributions to the WTO
Each accession prompts existing members to reflect on how best to uphold and advance the WTO's core values
accessions have repeatedly helped to deepen
clarify and modernize existing disciplines
acceded members have added more than 1,500 legally binding commitments to the WTO rulebook
These commitments – coupled with guarantees for deeper access to their domestic markets for goods and services – have made the WTO stronger
more dynamic and more responsive to evolving global trade realities
such as domestic support in agriculture and the regulation of state-owned enterprises
members who have joined over the past 30 years have often taken on more comprehensive and detailed commitments
reflecting an evolution of obligations in relation to existing WTO norms
In several areas – notably trade facilitation
tariff rate quotas and export subsidies – accession negotiations have also achieved concrete results years before the emergence of multilateral trade disciplines
demonstrating the forward-looking nature of the accession process
acceded members have adopted over 250 specific commitments
Some of these members could even be considered to be "transparency champions"
given that they have submitted extensive notifications to the WTO about their trade measures – including in areas where original members have been less forthcoming
or where multilateral disciplines do not yet exist
such as the notification of privatization programmes
30 years after the establishment of the WTO
acceded members account for more than one-fifth of its total membership
Accessions are a force for change – driving re-examinations of the WTO rulebook
steering the trading system away from complacency
and challenging original members to match the benchmarks set by the newer members
This has been especially relevant in recent years
as the multilateral trading system has been facing mounting pressure
Acceding members offer a source of hope for the future of the trading system
Even amid global uncertainty and growing challenges
many of them have remained actively engaged
recognizing that no economy's prosperity is secure in isolation
however large or small that economy might be
The admission of new members has been a true success story
but work on WTO accessions is far from complete
Twenty-two governments – a diverse group
whose future membership will further enrich the WTO – remain in the process of accession
the WTO will try to support these governments by providing targeted technical assistance and capacity-building
a key area of focus will be the accession of the remaining LDCs
all of which are also classified as fragile and conflict-affected states
Supporting these countries in their WTO accession processes
through dedicated programmes and tailored approaches
can serve as a catalyst for economic reform
institution-building and integration into the global trading system
this can also help to foster lasting stability and peace and to establish a gradual pathway out of fragility and toward greater resilience
it has become increasingly clear that integration into the multilateral trading system does not end on the date of an economy's accession
the immediate post-accession period presents a distinct set of challenges – particularly for governments with limited institutional and administrative capacity
While the WTO recognizes the need for sustained support during this critical phase – when newly acceded members are often required to implement further domestic reforms to fulfil their WTO commitments – it has yet to develop robust institutional mechanisms to provide targeted support during this period
There is scope for improvement in this area
and especially in supporting the effective integration of recently acceded LDCs
Thirty years since the establishment of the WTO
accessions continue to renew and enrich the organization
As new members continue to bring fresh perspectives and commitment to the multilateral trading system
WTO accessions will remain a powerful force for reform
international cooperation and global economic integration

The discovery and preclinical efficacy of ANS-858
orally bioavailable ALDH2 inhibitor will be presented at 48th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Research Society on Alcohol
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amygdala Neurosciences
a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the research and development of novel therapies for addiction and compulsive overeating disorders
has announced a significant milestone in its drug development pipeline
The company has selected ANS-858 as its lead clinical candidate
This marks a crucial step forward in bringing a potentially transformative treatment to patients suffering from these debilitating conditions
small molecule inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2)
ANS-858 aims to reduce the rewarding effects associated with alcohol and other substances
thereby mitigating the risk of relapse and offering a path toward abstinence while also reducing anxiety
The selection of ANS-858 follows an extensive preclinical evaluation demonstrating strong efficacy
ALDH2 inhibition represents a promising mechanism for reducing consumption of addictive drugs by affecting the mesolimbic dopamine reward pathway to reduce cravings
ANS-858 is designed to provide greater tolerability
"Amygdala Neurosciences is committed to advancing the treatment landscape for substance use disorder
a condition with significant unmet medical need," said Brent K Blackburn
"The selection of ANS-858 for clinical development marks a key milestone in our mission to develop safe and effective therapeutics for individuals struggling with SUD

The intricate communication between the central nervous system (CNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is fundamental to the organism's ability to adapt to environmental demands
This communication is facilitated through complex neural processing that integrates organ-specific information from sympathetic and parasympathetic afferents at various levels of brain organization
The accurate perception of interoceptive signals and predictive coding is crucial for the top-down influences on the ANS
which are essential for regulating peripheral physiology
Miscommunication between the CNS and ANS can lead to pathological conditions
such as anxiety disorders due to sympathetic hyperactivation.The Neurovisceral Integration Model provides a framework for understanding how CNS-ANS communication supports adaptive responses
Recent studies have highlighted the role of the brainstem noradrenergic nucleus Locus Coeruleus (LC) as a key node in this network
influencing both autonomic nuclei and forebrain regions
The LC's involvement in vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has shown promise in treating conditions like epilepsy and depression
Heart rate variability (HRV) serves as a non-invasive marker of CNS-ANS communication
there remains a need for improved diagnostic methods and a deeper understanding of the body-brain interaction to enhance clinical applications.This Research Topic aims to update and advance current views on the relationship between the body
It seeks to emphasize the significance of body-brain interactions for mental and physical health
and to explore the development of new diagnostic methods and the refinement of existing measurements
to enhance the reliability and predictive power of ANS activity biomarkers.Additionally
the research will investigate the influence of cognitive factors including learning
the research aims to foster a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying affective disorders and to promote the development of effective therapeutic interventions.To gather further insights into the complex interplay between the CNS and ANS

Campaign under way to identify subjects of images shot in 1970s and 1980s by Westra
one of New Zealand’s best-known social documentary photographers
“A lot of people have rung me about that photo,” Uruamo tells the Guardian
“People recognised me and said: ‘hey Arthur
Westra died last year, aged 86, leaving behind more than 300,000 images of New Zealand life over many decades
View image in fullscreenAns Westra
Photograph: Ans WestraThe image of Uruamo as a young man on the billboard was put up as part of a campaign being run by Westra’s family and Suite Gallery in Wellington to identify thousands of people the photographer captured over her lifetime
While Uruamo had always known about the photo
after seeing it on the billboard he contacted the gallery and they were finally able to identify him
The campaign to find the subjects in Westra’s photos will continue over the next few months
taken in Wellington during the 1970s and 1980s
stickers and light projections around the city
the project hopes to identify and catalogue the many unnamed people in the images
People are asked to contact the gallery if they have information
with the hopes of connecting any living subjects

leaving behind more than 300,000 images of New Zealand life over many decades
Photograph: Ans WestraWestra was born in the Netherlands and moved to New Zealand in the 1950s
she documented life in New Zealand and overseas
with the images now housed in a large vault in Wellington
A selection of these are being digitally catalogued through the National Library of New Zealand
Her work varied widely – from landscapes and street life, to gangs and the domestic everyday – but she is perhaps best known for capturing Māori communities at a time of great social change, which prompted both acclaim and controversy.
Read moreWhile Westra developed close and enduring relationships with many communities
she did not always record the identities of those she photographed
“Her method was very much in the background
“She wouldn’t always stop and write down who was in her photographs – that would have interfered with her work.”
Now – particularly in the digital age – it is generally viewed as best practice to record the identities of people in photographs
adding part of project’s aim is to bring Westra’s work in line with modern standards
she could be criticised for not having recorded the names of the people – so this is … trying to complete the work for her and not just for her
but for the people in the photographs and future generations.”

Photograph: Ans WestraAlsop and Van Hulst hope the Wellington campaign will inspire others around the country to dip into the National Library catalogue, where they can search Westra’s archive for a specific time and place, and potentially identify themselves or others.
Read moreWestra saw her work as something that “belonged to the nation” and should be accessible
“[Identification] adds a depth to the collection that elevates it from being just photographs to 60 years of New Zealand history.”
the photo of himself as a young man is more than just an historical document: “it’s a story.”
“It’s the same for me as it is for others who see their photo – it brings back some good memories.”
an unknown woman who liked the look of Uruamo boldly walked up to him and held his hand
but the young pair lost touch after the Rātana celebrations
the same woman saw Westra’s photograph of Uruamo on Facebook and recognised the man she had fancied many years earlier
She asked if anyone could identify the man
“She saw that picture and she fell in love again.”
The Yankees had everything going their way on Saturday afternoon—until they didn’t. A game that should’ve been a comfortable win turned into a gut-wrenching loss, as the Bombers coughed up a 99.4% win expectancy entering the ninth inning, falling 10–8 to the Tampa Bay Rays in extras
It was a meltdown that started with an unraveling and ended with a walk-off
it all unraveled in the hands of their star closer
and drove in eight runs while striking out 12 times
they were cruising with a 6–1 lead and all signs pointed to a breezy finish
Carlos Carrasco got the start and began the game looking sharp
He ended up giving up four earned runs on six hits over four innings
the Yankees handed over a two-run lead and a four-run lead to the bullpen
who was brought in to be the shutdown closer the Yankees lacked in 2024
saw his ERA balloon to 9.00 after allowing four runs in a disastrous final frame
taking full advantage of Williams’ lack of command and finding holes in the outfield
the Yankees’ bats went cold in the 10th
Yodenrys Gómez took the ball in the bottom half
but Jonathan Aranda had other plans—launching a two-run walk-off home run that sealed a comeback victory for Tampa Bay
but the Yankees left the door open and got burned
he doubled down on his faith in Williams after the loss
“We went out and got him for a reason
He’s the best closer in the game,” Judge said
This guy is going to save a lot of ballgames for us and help us out
He’ll go out there and figure it out.”
Judge himself was one of the few bright spots
picking up three hits and three RBIs in another MVP-caliber showing
and continues to make a case for more regular playing time
Ben Rice also continued his strong start to the season with two more hits
but had to leave early after taking a pitch to the elbow
x-rays came back negative and he’s only dealing with some bruising
The Yankees will try to shake off Saturday’s collapse and salvage a series split on Sunday afternoon
who’s looked every bit like the ace they hoped for
will take the mound against Ryan Pepiot as New York tries to put the pieces back together

That's the question organisers of an exhibition by the acclaimed photographer Ans Westra are hoping visitors will be able to answer
Ans Westra: Kerikeri 2025 -an exhibition of mostly Northland images
including some never before shown in public - opens on Monday
It's part of an ongoing project to gather more information about the estimated 320,000 photos taken by the Dutch-born Westra, from her arrival in Aotearoa in 1957 until her death two years ago
She is best known for her work documenting the lives of rural Māori
but her vast archive forms an unmatched record of everyday life in her adopted home during the second half of the 20th century
These days Westra's archive is managed by her daughter Lisa van Hulst
like a similar exhibition in Wellington last year
He hoped visitors would recognise friends or relatives
and share names and stories so they could be added to the National Library's records
"Part of the purpose is to try and gather more information about the people in the photographs
and reach out to whānau connected to the images … Ans' process didn't involve gathering people's names or anything as she went
So the idea now of her daughter and I is to connect with the people in the photographs
and further complete the meaning of the images."
Alsop said any information people provided would be invaluable to future researchers or whānau interested in a particular person or event
"So that's what we're increasingly trying to do … It's to let people know they can do this
more significant historical archive for everybody who accesses it."
Alsop said Westra was a frequent visitor to Northland
She had close friends in Te Kao and Kaitāia
and was a regular at Waitangi Day commemorations in the Bay of Islands
The earliest photo in the exhibition was taken in 1963; the latest dated to the mid-1980s
Alsop said Westra's archive was so vast he still did not know exactly how many images were in it
because there's still quite a lot of cataloguing to do."
and upload the images to the National Library's website to make them freely available to all
So far about 80,000 negatives had been digitised with an estimated 70,000 to go
Another 170,000 or so digital images taken since the 2000s did not have to be scanned
but still needed to be captioned and catalogued
Alsop said he first met Westra at an exhibition of her work in Leiden
the city midway between Amsterdam and The Hague where she was born in 1936
They struck up a firm friendship and their families became closely intertwined
Alsop said Westra's contribution to New Zealand photography was "unparalleled and extremely significant"
the beauty of her photographs show us a glimpse of what it might have been like to be a New Zealander at a particular time and in a particular place … there's no other record so important and so far-reaching for the second half of the 20th century."
Alsop said Westra had no predetermined ideas about what she was trying to capture
and really just captured people as they went about their lives
Some of her work was controversial at the time - a publication for distribution to schools
was withdrawn in 1964 and most copies were pulped - but now her photos were widely admired
People are generally really pleased with what Ans did
but I know she'd be happy to know that we're talking about her work
and that her legacy is being honoured like this."
Westra was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 1998
Ans Westra: Kerikeri 2025 opens at 5pm on 5 May in the Theatre Bar at the Turner Centre, Cobham Road, Kerikeri. The free exhibition will be open on weekdays and during events throughout May. Thousands of her images can also be viewed on the National Library website

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued the first Design or Production Organisation (DPO) approval of equipment for Air Traffic Management/Air Navigation (ATM/ANS) services
marking a major milestone in the journey towards a safer
and efficient operation of the European ATM network in all phases of flight
The approval was awarded to Micro Elektronische Producten B.V
(MEP) that designs and produces air-ground voice communication systems for Air Traffic Control services and is the first organisation approved under EASA
The single EASA approval is valid across the entire EU market
paving the way for harmonised ATM/ANS equipment across the continent
“This approval is a first step on the way to a more modern and harmonised ATM network in Europe,” said EASA Flight Standards Director
“Europe is strong in producing ATM equipment and this new approval system makes it easier for the service providers to adopt solutions already proven as safe in real operations
as the approval of an organisation comes with the privilege to improve existing solutions without needing a new full certification
We congratulate MEP on the achievement of receiving this first approval and expect many manufacturers to follow in their footsteps.”
complemented: “I am very happy that MEP is the first company to be granted the DPO approval
This is the result and recognition of all the hard work of our MEP project team
receiving great support from the EASA team over the last 12 months
MEP is committed to safety in Air Traffic Control in general and voice communication systems in particular
I am convinced that this approval will further improve cooperation with our customers.”
To achieve the approval, MEP successfully demonstrated compliance with the applicable requirements of Regulations (EU) 2023/1769 and 2023/1768
Compliance was verified by the EASA team during the initial approval investigation conducted over the last 12 months
The approval as DPO entitles organisations to specific design or production privileges
They can apply for certification of certain ATM/ANS equipment
classify changes as “major” or “minor”
and make these changes to certain ATM/ANS equipment
They can also issue declarations of design compliance
and issue EASA release forms that allow equipment designed and produced by the DPO to be delivered to an Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) for installation
This also means less work for the ANSP; they can rely more directly upon the work done by the approved DPO when making changes to ANSP systems
EASA’s extended remit resulted from the publication of the new regulatory framework on the conformity assessment of ATM/ANS equipment
The framework introduced several new concepts such as:
These concepts were designed to enable cost-efficiency

(ANS – Vatican City) – On 21 January 2025
a communiqué was sent to the Postulator General for the Causes of Saints of the Salesian Family
that the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints
in its ordinary Congress of 8 January 2025
signed by the Prefect Cardinal Marcello Semeraro and the Secretary Monsignor Fabio Fabene
gave legal validity to the diocesan inquiry for the Cause of Beatification and Canonisation of the Servant of God Antonino Baglieri (Modica 1 May 1951 - 2 March 2007)
This follows the verification carried out on the formal aspects of the procedural documents and the consistency of the evidentiary apparatus: number and quality of witnesses
The Postulator General stresses that "this is a great achievement
the result of the work done with passion and competence by the members of the diocesan Tribunal and by those who have contributed
in particular by the Historical Commission and the vice-postulator Fr Gabriel Cruz SDB"
It is a stage greeted with joy by Archbishop Salvatore Rumeo
the family of the Servant of God and the Salesian Family of Sicily
The Postulator General will now ask the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints to appoint a Rapporteur to guide the preparation of the "Positio super virtutibus" of the Servant of God
which will be drawn up by Dr Lodovica Maria Zanet
The diocesan Inquiry was held at the Episcopal Curia in Noto (Syracuse) from 2 March 2014 to 5 May 2024
Nino Baglieri was born in Modica on 1 May 1951
After attending elementary schools and taking up the trade of bricklayer
Nino realised bitterly that he had been completely paralysed
made herself available to take care of him personally throughout his life
This is how Nino's path of suffering began as he went from one hospital to another
after the first days of visits from friends
a group of people belonging to the Renewal in the Spirit prayed over him; Nino felt a transformation in himself
From that moment he accepted the Cross and said his "yes" to the Lord
He began reading the Gospel and the Bible: rediscovering the wonders of faith
By helping some neighbouring youngsters to do their homework
letters to people of every category in various parts of the world
personalised reminders that paid homage to those who visited him
he could dial phone numbers and get in direct contact with many sick people and his calm and convincing word comforted them
A continuous flow of relationships began that not only brought him out of isolation
but led him to witness to the Gospel of joy and hope
Nino celebrated the Anniversary of the Cross and
he joined the Salesian Family as a Salesian Cooperator
On 31 August 2004 he made his perpetual profession among the Volunteers with Don Bosco (CDB)
after a long period of suffering and trial
Inflexion first invested in UKFast in 2018 before acquiring ANS in 2021 and combining the two companies before rebranding as ANS
Private equity firm Inflexion is reported to have entered talks to sell Manchester-headquartered ANS for around £400m
Inflexion has hired corporate finance specialists Arma Partners to advise on the sale
ANS is a cloud hosting provider and employs 700 people
Neither ANS and Inflexion have commented publicly on the reports but the timing of the planned sale is not a surprise
which is a leading European mid-market private equity firm
one of the UK’s leading cloud hosting providers
UKFast was founded by husband-and-wife team Lawrence and Gail Jones
Lawrence Jones stepped down as CEO in 2019 a week after a Financial Times investigation accused him of sexual assault and workplace misconduct after interviewing more than 30 former employees at UKFast
At the time he and his wife both owned 30.9 per cent of UKFast while Inflexion owned 31.6 per cent
Former UKFast CEO sentenced to 15 years in prison
In 2020 the couple exited the tech business completely after Inflexion became the majority shareholder with a 75 per cent stake
The entrepreneur’s fall from grace was completed in December 2023 when he was jailed for 15 years after being convicted at Manchester Crown Court for the historic rape of two women in Greater Manchester
It followed an earlier conviction for a sexual assault against a third female
A year later he was stripped of his MBE
In June 2021 Inflexion acquired ANS to create a UK digital technology service leader
In January 2022 the two companies merged and officially rebranded as ANS under the leadership of CEO Paul Shannon
who was subsequently succeeded by Richard Thompson (pictured)
The combined company is expected to be worth between £300m-£400m and is expected to attract interest from other private equity firms

and in some cases even every course within a faculty
has different wishes and requirements about digital assignments
The new supplier also created custom-made solutions for transferring questions
as it turned out that it was not always possible to migrate examination questions automatically
An import tool was specially developed so that the majority of the questions could be moved in bulk
Other difficult issues were handled by a team of technical experts
most of the work to be done is still a matter of 'human work'
and good cooperation between all parties is essential
An expert team has been appointed for each faculty and plays a central role
and with the support of team Toetsen of FS
each faculty considers what is needed to ensure a smooth transition
has been involved in Ans Exam's implementation from the very beginning: "We notice a great commitment from the expert teams to make the implementation a success
They have a lot of expertise in digital testing and provide valuable feedback
They inform and guide teachers in the transition to Ans"
several colleagues have really gotten started with Ans
ICTO coordinators Peter van Dijk and Lisanne van den Boomen (FMG) were involved early in the process because of their functions
Lisanne: "When we heard it had become Ans we were enthusiastic; this system offers us opportunities for new insights and improvements
The current digital testing system is not immediately intuitive in several areas
Peter especially sees the benefits of improved links with existing systems such as the digital learning environment Canvas
But they both acknowledge that for some users
does not have a folder structure but primarily works with tags
you have to look things up in a different way," Peter says
So they understand that not everyone is cheering for a new system
The good news is that the agreement with Ans Exam runs for at least six years
with a maximum extension of 15 years. In short: over the next few years
we'll be able to delve into it and make good use of Ans
Because the FNWI was already working with Ans and because they needed customisation for relatively many tests
it was decided to start the migration here
Gerrit Oomens is closely involved as programme manager for educational information systems
we were already working with Ans for paper exams
so we're happy with the arrival of Ans as a provider of all digital tests
Our experience is that it is user-friendly and teachers can also get along well with it."
the FNWI had already started migrating the first test questions
"We then asked lecturers if they already wanted to move with us
Over 80% were in favour at the time so we started working on that
It certainly helped that Ans was already known to most
which made the threshold a little lower." The teachers' response is also mostly positive
"Especially creating new questions is a lot easier in the new system."
TestVision will be phased out and exams will be taken with Ans Exam from 1 September 2024 onward
TestVision will still be available until August 2025 as an archive to view exam questions
but without the ability for test administration
For those who will soon have to work with Ans but have never done so before
an E-learning environment has been created
This is available in both Dutch and English
The E-learning consists of several modules and forms part of the entire training programme for future Ans users
several faculties will already start taking the first tests in Ans to gain experience
We will cover the results and findings in a subsequent article

The Delhi NCR-based startup added 100Unicorns and angel investors such as Kunal Shah of CRED and Kunal Bahl of Snapdeal on its cap table
The development comes on the heels of Flipkart lining up plans to list on Indian bourses. The ecommerce giant is looking to get listed on the bourses in the next 12 to 18 months. As part of its IPO drive, the company has been rejigging its top leadership, trimming cash burn and restructuring operations

within just two years of its launch amid growing uncertainty around GST for real-money gaming platforms
As per Inc42 data, as many as 12 startups shut operations in 2024 despite raising millions in funding and big names on their cap table

the private equity owner of ANS is seeking to sell the server hosting and tech business for as much as £400m
Inflexion and ANS management have never acknowledged the stain on the reputation of the business caused by its founder
who is currently serving a long prison sentence
The Manchester-based company rebranded from UK Fast to the name of its smaller subsidiary ANS as Jones awaited trial and after he had left the business following an internal inquiry into its culture
Sky News has reported that Arma Partners have been deployed to sell ANS which made £24m in EBITDA on turnover of £129m according to its most recent filed accounts to the year ending December 2023
Businesses offering technology and communications infrastructure
and with recurring revenue from contracted business clients
are valued on a multiple of 21.64 times earnings according to the research business Equidam
Last year Arma sold Options Technology to Vitruvian

Inflexion first took a 30% stake in Jones’ business in 2018 just as Jones’ reputation was fracturing
An investigation by journalists at the Financial Times gave confidence to women who came forward to report his crimes
In June 2021 Inflexion then acquired ANS and in October 2021 the two businesses
merged and operated with a combined strategy and operational board from January 2022
ANS majority shareholder Scott Fletcher exited the business
At the time it was said “a new brand for the combined business [is] being announced in due course.”

despite it being the largest of the two merged businesses
the board commissioned a report into the culture of the business which has never been made public
No mention of its toxic legacy has ever been acknowledged

orally bioavailable ALDH2 Inhibitor in pre-clinical development to reduce craving
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Amygdala Neurosciences (a private company) announced today that the Company has closed a new round of equity financing led by ABMRF
the Alcohol Beverage Medicines Research Foundation to fund the Company's IND-stage activities for ANS-858
behavioral and social aspects of alcohol consumption
The Foundation's mission is to 1) achieve a better understanding of the effects of alcohol on the health and behavior of individuals
2) provide the scientific basis for prevention and treatment of alcohol misuse
5) communicate information with the research community and other interested parties
Chair Board of Trustees ABMRF said "Amygdala Neurosciences has established itself as a leader in the field of alcohol research
Craving is a key component of the alcohol use disorder adaptation
Amygdala Neuroscience's lead clinical candidate
targets the first of these aspects of the misuse of alcohol."
Use of alcohol and alcohol use disorder (AUD) remains high
It is estimated that in 2020 over half of the adult population (54.9% of those 18 years or older) used alcohol resulting in 27.6 million adult Americans (11%) diagnosed with AUD
The US Centers for Disease Control estimated the annual average deaths attributable to excessive alcohol use to be more than 140,000 and the economic cost of AUD to be $249 billion
Current treatments for AUD include a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy
Highlighting the need for more effective and better tolerated treatments
only 362,000 (1.3%) of patients with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) receive treatment with a medication
"We are delighted to receive this investment from ABMRF in recognition of our innovative approach to the treatment of alcohol and other substance use disorders
combined with the grant to support the Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling and early stage development of ANS-858 made from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA
an Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)) under Award Number U43AA030689
further validates our innovative approach and enables the timely development of ANS-858 as an anti-craving therapy for AUD and other harmful cravings." said Brent Blackburn
Inhibition of ALDH2 has been shown to reduce craving and drug seeking behavior in preclinical studies against multiple addictive agents and has the potential for use as pharmacotherapy for substance use disorders (SUD)
and anxiety associated with these disorders
Preclinical and available clinical data demonstrate the potential of selective
reversible ALDH2 inhibition as a promising target for treatment of AUD
Amygdala Neurosciences is developing ANS-858
ABMRF/The Foundation for Alcohol Research was established in 1982 as an independent philanthropic organization dedicated to the development and dissemination of new knowledge about the biological
independent non-profit foundation in North America devoted solely to funding research on the effects of alcohol on health and behavior
and to the prevention of problems related to alcohol abuse

An important milestone was reached when the first digital Ans exam was conducted on campus with about 50 students in a secure environment on Friday 2 December
the project team has been working hard on adjustments to make this possible
We are happy to report that this went well and both lecturers and students were very satisfied
"Big advantage for us is that we can now do all assessments
in one tool," lecturers Alfred Schouten and Mark van de Ruit (3mE) explain
"We have been working with Ans for a while and find it much more user-friendly than Möbius"
The exam was for the course System Identification and Parameter Estimation
There is also an important feature available in Ans that was not available in Möbius
It is now possible to check which common mistakes were made
which helps to instruct students even better
They said the look and feel was quite similar to that of Möbius
This is a good thing because it means a smooth transition from Möbius to Ans
Everything worked well and there were no problems
Lecturers have been contacted by the DigitalExam desk if they are working with Möbius and the project team thinks their assessments are suitable for transferring to Ans
The focus will be on getting most of the assessments from Möbius to Ans by Q3 (end February 2023)
After the migration of the Möbius assessments
the project team will also look at summative assessments in Brightspace and tools like Zesje and make a plan for migrating the assessments from these tools to Ans
