A floor sealer is a chemical solution that is applied to the surface of various types of floors covering materials to preserve them from stains and damage. A seal is a substance that prevents staining agents from penetrating flooring by soaking into and sealing the pores found naturally in highly absorbent materials. A finish is a substance that coats the surface of the floor with an invisible protective layer that serves as a stain-resistant barrier. Floor sealers can be used in several ways: Initial Use Sealers: They are chemical substance that are applied to a newly built floor instantly. They are commonly used for porous materials such as cork, brick, sandstone, and other natural stone materials that are prone to deep set-in stains.

In the 1840s, the introduction of ether, a surgical anesthetic, made surgical procedures more common. Initially, general anesthesia was given through a device that covered the nose and mouth of the patient. The concern for aspiration of gastric content was not appreciated, and postoperative pneumonia became a common problem. Trendelenburg (1869) designed the first inflatable cuff, a thin rubber bag that was fitted over the end of a tracheostomy tube. It created a tight seal to prevent aspiration during anesthesia. As an alternate method for tracheostomy, Macewen (1880) suggested passing an oral tube into the trachea to relieve an obstruction. Later, anesthesiologist Franz Kuhn used metal tubes and preferred the oral route over tracheostomy and popularized orotracheal anesthesia.

The global educational toys market is growing at a CAGR of 8.11% and is expected to witness an incremental growth of $11.81 billion during the forecast period. The growth of the market is attributable to the rising demand for education with the help of playful learning so that children learn things easily and quickly. The recent trend towards Augmented Reality (AR) educational toys is likely to boost the demand for educational toys year-on-year. Moreover, the educational toys have short life cycle and requires continuous innovation and investment in R&D to remain competitive. Due to rapid growth forecasts the vendors are expected to face intense competition in terms of innovativeness and price.

Medication prescription is a formal communication method that physicians use to authorize a pharmacist to dispense prescription drugs or controlled substances to patients. For years, physicians have used hand-written prescriptions for communicating medication instructions to patients and documenting the drug requirements for pharmacists. Factors such as the rapidly expanding population and the growing need for health care services pose a significant challenge to the national healthcare systems worldwide. Also, the increasing use of medications to treat different ailments has resulted in a corresponding rise in the number of medication prescriptions and diversity in medication types.

Continuous learning requirements for students and professionals driven by sweeping trends over the past two decades due to globalization, talent migration, and consistent improvements in corporate competencies and individual talent grooming have increased the scope of e-learning. With rapid globalization, there has been increased mobility of human capital in industries, including tourism, trade, media, international relations, and science and technology. Therefore, there is a need to effectively acquire functional and vocational skills over a short period and in a cost-effective manner. While conventional learning and training methods cater to most needs, they are ineffective in meeting the dynamic learners’ requirements, especially in the rapidly expanding learner segment.

The global disposable gloves market is experiencing extremely high demand, supply shortages, competition for production lines, and higher production costs because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic across the world. Global players are unable to absorb all the resulting production cost increases due to factors like a hike in raw material cost, labor shortage, and more, thereby resulting in higher cost of the final products to customers.

Advances in technology have led to the development of several tools and machines used across industries.
