    the objective of this paper is to propose and introduce to people an apps that will help to link between clinic and pet owners. petGrab aims is to help user which are the pet owners to get their pets treatments in order to make sure their pets healthy. In this paper also, we propose the Business Model Canvas (BMC), strategy canvas, environmental map and value proposition design (VPD). This is a conceptual solution that been proposed. Other than that, this paper also has proposed enhanced BM

    Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

    A high-quality aluminium nitride buffer layers were grown on (0 0 0 1) sapphire substrate at standard pressure with a subsequent low growth temperature via metal organic chemical vapour deposition. The preparation of aluminium nitride buffer layers was accomplished by growing a thin aluminium nitride nucleation layer through a nominal growth condition followed by depositing a thick aluminium nitride film using pulsed atomic-layer epitaxy technique. In 13.3 kPa ambient, the influence of aluminium nitride nucleation layer on the crystal quality of the aluminium nitride film atop was studied by varying the nucleation layer growth temperature at 700, 800, 900, 1000 and 1100 °C, respectively. It was observed that the growth temperature of nucleation layer substantially affected the structural properties of the top aluminium nitride film where the lowest value for symmetric (0 0 0 2) and asymmetric (1 0–1 2) x-ray rocking curve analysis were achieved at 1100 °C, indicating the reduction of dislocation density in the aluminium nitride films. In line with that, this result was sustained by the root mean square surface roughness evaluated via atomic force microscopy. Moreover, an atomically-flat crack-free aluminium nitride buffer layer was demonstrated by field emission scanning electron microscopy measurement
