• SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ROKIT HEALTHCARE, a pioneering biotech firm specializing in advanced organ regeneration, proudly announces a significant milestone.
• In July 2023, the company obtained the coveted certification under the European Medical Device Regulation (CEMDR) for its revolutionary "Dr. Invivo AI Regen Platform."
• The "Dr. Invivo AI Regen Platform" marks a leap in organ regeneration and medical device innovation, fusing artificial intelligence (AI) with bioprinting.
• SeokHwan You, CEO of ROKIT HEALTHCARE, states, "This certification propels us globally, extending advanced medical solutions."

• UK foreign policy has long been shaped by a particular geopolitical way of conceiving the nation’s place in the world.
• This island identity may have been forged in imperial times, but it remains hugely relevant in the post-Brexit world.
• To be an island was to be democratic, sovereign, freedom-loving, mobile and a bastion of limitless and global free trade.

Your sovereign neighbour

• The Falklands Conflict provided ample opportunity for Margaret Thatcher to restate a powerful island identity that she felt was becoming lost.
• These impulses to define the UK as a sovereign, mobile, freedom-loving island helped politicians to navigate the huge changes that occurred since 1945.
• Never more than lukewarm about Brexit, “Global Britain” was Theresa May’s attempt to name the UK’s posture after leaving the EU.
• But in many ways, Global Britain is not about the present so much as the past and the future.

What is an island in the 21st century?

• Yet there is far less unity about what it means to be an island in this fractious 21st century than there was during the imperial era.
• Many historians have argued that the empire provided the glue between the constituent parts of the UK.
• Without the empire or the EU, are we now seeing the true nature of a disunited Kingdom?

• At a time when governments are timid, keener to announce reviews than decisions, it’s refreshing to remember what happened 50 years ago today – on July 18 1973.
• Australia’s biggest customer, the United Kingdom, had joined the European Economic Community, agreeing to buy products from it rather than Australia.

Every tariff cut by one quarter overnight

• As Whitlam put it: “each tariff will be reduced by one quarter of what it is now”.
• If Australian businesses (and the Australian public) were caught by surprise, it was because Whitlam had planned the whole thing in secret.

Outsiders, not treasury insiders

• Ttey were also good for government – bringing in tax revenue.
• have a salutary effect upon those who have taken advantage of shortages by unjustified price increases which have exploited the public.
• should not provide relief as a matter of course – that is, simply because the question of relief had been referred to it.
• Over the next seven years, manufacturing employment fell by 80,000, but few of those job losses were immediate.
• more importantly, we seriously doubt that the previous government would have had the wisdom or the courage to undertake it.
