EQUITY ALERT: ROSEN, A LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Peloton Interactive, Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – PTON

NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTON) between December 9, 2020 and November 4, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 18, 2022.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Peloton securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Peloton class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases-register-2204.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 18, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants repeatedly, falsely assured investors that the Company’s positive results and growth would continue after the pandemic. In addition, during the Class Period, Defendants made false and misleading statements about the amount of inventory that Peloton held, and touted the Company’s ability to keep its inventory levels in line with substantial, sustained demand. As a result of defendants’ misrepresentations, Peloton common stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Peloton class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases-register-2204.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Lahore School of Economics in WTO Chairs Programme 

Lahore, November 27, 2021 (PPI-OT):Seventeen universities from least-developed and developing country members have been selected as new members of the WTO’s Chairs Programme, Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala announced at a meeting of the Committee on Trade and Development on 10 November. She warmly welcomed these new participants and highlighted the importance of the Chairs Programme in enhancing knowledge and understanding of the international trading system among academics and policy makers in beneficiary countries.

DG Okonjo-Iweala also announced the intention to admit institutions more frequently to the WTO Chairs Programme on a rolling basis in the future. “Having looked closely into the existing structure of the Programme, I believe there is greater benefit to be had if we are to admit a smaller number of candidates more frequently, rather than a larger number in intervals of four years like in the past. This will allow us to make the programme even more representational, enhance its visibility and generate more momentum in the Chairs network and with members,” she said.

Deputy Director-General Xiangchen Zhang praised the achievements of the programme. He said: “For a decade, WTO Chairs have produced a significant amount of relevant research outputs and study programmes. On many occasions, they have provided evidence-based and applied research to policy makers and stakeholders to support trade policy formulation. This shows that the Programme has been fruitful and has long-term sustainability.”

Ambassador Muhammad Mujtaba Piracha, the Chair of the Committee on Trade and Development, said: “The Chairs Programme offers a platform for training new generations of trade experts, generating new ideas, insights and innovative responses to challenges facing our members. When members have evidence-based research, facts, figures and advice at their disposal, this promotes economically and legally sound policy choices in beneficiary countries.”

The WTO Chairs Programme was launched in 2010 as a capacity-building programme to improve knowledge and understanding of the multilateral trading system through the Chairs’ teaching, research and outreach activities in developing and least-developed country members. An independent external evaluation in 2019 by SAANA Consulting showed that the Chairs Programme has played a unique role in generating trade expertise and providing policy advice to governments and other stakeholders in the regions.

The 17 new participants were selected from a total of 126 applications from academic institutions from 54 WTO members following a rigorous selection process led by the Chairs Programme Academic Advisory Board. Special attention was paid to selecting institutions from regions that were previously under-represented by the Programme and from least-developed countries. The 17 new members will join the Chairs Programme network, which will now consist of 36 universities. The expanded Chairs Programme network will strengthen the opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, collaboration between universities, and outreach activities with policy makers.

The 17 selected institutions are:

1. Cameroon, Universite de Yaounde II, Yaounde

2. China, University of International Business and Economics, Beijing

3. Colombia, Universidad de los Andes, Bogota

4. Costa Rica, Universidad Nacional, Heredia

5. Ecuador, Universidad Andina Simon Bolívar Sede, Quito

6. Egypt, Cairo University, Cairo

7. Ethiopia, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa

1st International Virtual Summit on Medical Sociology and Public Health

Rawalpindi, November 27, 2021 (PPI-OT):Organized by Department of Sociology, Fatima Jinnah Women University

In collaboration with

Huston-Tillotson University, USA

December 2-4, 2021

Background

Medical sociology and public health share many of the same concerns in the study of social and cultural factors that affect the health of the population. The sociological approach to medicine is one of the biggest subsections of the whole field of sociology, and has become an important component of health care disciplines such as public health, health care management, clinical medicine and nursing.

It involves a sociological analysis of medical organizations, the actions of healthcare professionals, and the social and cultural effects of medical practice. The field of medical sociology regularly interacts with knowledge, sociology of science and technology studies.

The focus on the medicalization of human conditions has added to the broader understanding of social control and social order. Medicine recognizes sociology as an important discipline that is capable of making a great contribution to the application and understanding of health care. Whereas, Public health has reached a crossroads that leads in two directions: a broad approach that addresses the sociocultural foundations of health and a more narrow approach focusing on more proximal risk factors such as individual lifestyles or health risk behaviours.

Introduction

Three days virtual summit ascertaining the sociological interrelations between health, illness and medicine aims to bring together leading medical sociologists, sociologists, social workers, policy makers, healthcare professionals, social science researchers, and academicians, to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects of medical sociology and public health keeping in mind the current pandemic of COVID-19 and healthcare practices in the new normal.

Objectives:

To identify challenges and related solution, trends and emerging issues in public health

To explore the current status of public health evidence, research, policy and practices in the ‘new normal’ of COVID-19

To develop and access a network of researchers, professionals and partners for instigating or expanding public health initiatives

To explore the relationship of Medical Sociology and Public Health in effective evidence-based education programs and health promotion practices

Themes (Scientific Session)

Role of Public Health in the ‘New Normal’ of COVID-19 Pandemic

Community Health Risk Assessment

Medical Sociology and Public Health: Interdisciplinary Relationships
