Fujitsu develops Policy Twin, a new digital twin technology to maximize effectiveness of local government policies for solving societal issues
KAWASAKI, Japan, Nov 26, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced that it has developed Policy Twin, a new digital twin technology to simulate the social impact of local government policies. Fujitsu will start offering Policy Twin to support effective and efficient service delivery in municipal preventive healthcare services on December 6, 2024 via the Fujitsu Research Portal (1), Fujitsu’s environment that offers users the opportunity to try out Fujitsu's advanced technologies.Fujitsu’s newly developed technology recreates previously successful local government policies on a digital twin and uses data to generate new policy candidates and gauge effectiveness.During field trials in preventive healthcare projects, the new technology enabled the creation of policy candidates that doubled both the medical expense cost-savings and the improvement of health indicators achieved through health guidance compared to the previous year, while meeting resourcing requirements. This demonstrated the technology’s ability to create policies that achieve multiple objectives simultaneously, potentially shortening planning times and facilitating consensus building.Fujitsu aims to launch a service for the healthcare and medical sector in Japan utilizing the newly developed digital twin technology by fiscal year 2025. Furthermore, by leveraging this technology in its Uvance Wayfinders consulting services, Fujitsu aims to digitalize stakeholder initiatives and contribute to solving societal challenges, inlcuding service restructuring to address workforce shortages, disaster prevention and mitigation, and enhancing supply chain resilience.Policy Twin OverviewFujitsu has been developing Social Digital Twin (2), a group of technologies that incorporate the latest insights from behavioral economics into ICT, including AI, to support solutions for complex societal challenges. This involves developing digital rehearsal technology capable of accurately recreating human behavior on a digital twin and predicting the effect/impact of policies.Building on this digital rehearsal technology, Policy Twin leverages empirical economics, the science of using data to understand how to best allocate resources, to preemptively assess and compare the effectiveness of digitally recreated local government policies on a digital twin, enabling effectiveness maximization and comparative analysis.The process of using Policy Twin to identify effective policies is as follows:1) Convert written policies into flowchart format: Assisted by large language models (LLMs), publicly available municipal policy documents are converted into a machine-readable flowchart format (Figure 1). This format includes the services provided (health guidance, clinic visit recommendations, etc.) and uses conditional branches to narrow down the target recipients (i.e., conditions related to blood glucose levels or kidney disorders). This allows for comparison of the flow differences between policies of multiple similar municipalities, taking into account geographical characteristics and demographic composition.2) Generate new policy flowchart candidates: As shown in Figure 2, new flowchart candidates are reconfigured by referencing the flowcharts of successful policies from multiple municipalities and combining parts of the conditional branches and services provided. During this process, the resource allocation examination process of empirical economics is referenced, and the combination of flowcharts is selected based on constraints such as the limited allocation range of resources (i.e., service usage capacity).3) Simulate service provision: For each generated flowchart candidate, a simulation is run using techniques including machine learning that considers human behavioral choices (proprietary behavioral choice model) (3) and past data to determine which conditional branches people pass through and what services are ultimately provided. Furthermore, it calculates how target indicators, such as health indicators, medical costs, and resources, will change for the municipalities. When the accuracy of the simulation was verified for a preventive healthcare project in a certain municipality, it was confirmed that the number of health guidance cases calculated by the Policy Twin based on Japanese National Health Insurance data matched the actual values within a 5% margin of error. In this way, multiple indicators are simulated for each of the multiple flowchart candidates, and the flowchart candidate with the maximum indicators is selected.Future ImpactFujitsu anticipates that utilizing the Policy Twin for more effective preventive healthcare policy making allows municipalities to simultaneously achieve improvements in resident health, cost savings, and disease prevention, ultimately contributing to improved well-being. As the Policy Twin can also demonstrate the rationale behind the proposed policies, it can facilitate consensus-building among diverse stakeholders and support its implementation in society. Furthermore, employing this technology across multiple municipalities is expected to lead to best practice creation, mutual referencing of policies between municipalities, and application towards the standardization of policies.(1) Fujitsu Research Portal :Portal site that has been open to the public since June 2023 to provide registered users access to trial versions of Fujitsu’s advanced technologies.(2) Social Digital Twin :Group of technologies to digitally recreate not only the states of both people and objects, but also economic and social activities, based on real-world data. The Social Digital Twin aims to facilitate the understanding of the mechanisms that cause societal problems and solve increasingly complex and diverse issues.(3) Behavioral choice model :The technology combines prospect theory, one of the leading theories in behavioral economics, and machine learning. It can express differences in choices among people while maintaining behavioral characteristics common to many people.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

COP29氣候峰會：巨大的失望與希望
(SeaPRwire) - 今年的聯合國氣候變化大會（又稱COP29）沒有人感到滿意。 發達國家同意幫助籌集數千億美元的年度資金，用於支持全球南方國家的氣候行動，但這遠遠低於預期。缺乏重申減少化石燃料排放的措辭激怒了那些警告需要緊急行動的國家。代表們在旨在刺激碳市場的新規則問題上也存在嚴重分歧。週日凌晨5點30分在巴庫結束會議，經過多日不間斷的談判，也無濟於事。 「我們非常受傷，」印度談判代表錢德妮·雷納在達成融資協議後表示。「全球南方國家即使以犧牲自身發展為代價，也被迫轉向零碳道路。」 但是，儘管抱怨很多，我們不應忽視的是，在民粹主義反彈加劇和孤立主義情緒高漲之際，各國仍然在阿塞拜疆巴庫達成了一項協議。事實上，就在會談開始前幾天，唐納德·特朗普當選美國總統，給談判蒙上了一層陰影，會談本可能很容易崩潰。 歐盟氣候行動專員沃普克·霍克斯特拉在閉幕會議上表示：「我們正處於一個地緣政治真正充滿挑戰的時代，我們不應該抱有任何幻想，認為情況很快就會好轉。」「達成協議確實是非凡的。」 那麼，為什麼會談沒有破裂呢？在某些時刻，感覺它們似乎就要破裂了，但最終談判代表評估，不完美的協議勝過沒有協議。 長期以來，資金一直是氣候談判中的關鍵緊張因素，發展中國家認為，富裕國家應該為其歷史排放造成的損害負責。儘管美國僅佔世界人口的約4%，但其碳排放量卻佔全球的很大一部分。 最終，融資協議的核心是發達國家承諾到2035年每年為發展中國家籌集3000億美元的氣候資金，資金來源主要是政府和開發銀行。儘管這遠低於許多發展中國家要求的每年超過1萬億美元的公共資金，但它比2009年達成的1000億美元承諾（明年到期）有了大幅增加。面對這一到期以及氣候變化成本的增加，發展中國家堅持要求談判代表緊急更換1000億美元的數字。未來幾年，發展中國家肯定會密切關注其富裕國家的同僚是否履行承諾——如果他們沒有履行承諾，就會追究他們的責任。 對於發達國家來說，這筆錢是有利的。因為氣候變化的影響遍及全球，減少全球南方的排放也有助於保護富裕國家免受即將到來的極端氣候的影響。這些投資還有助於避免跨境蔓延的與氣候相關的危機——想想由於環境衝擊已經發生的難民潮。（還值得注意的是，大部分資金將以貸款和投資的形式提供，這些貸款和投資會產生回報，而不是無償贈款。） 現在關鍵的問題是這些富裕國家是否會信守承諾。值得明確的是：未來的道路非常艱難。在歐洲，政治壓力導致各國政府削減了國際發展資金。即使像德國和法國這樣的國家極右翼政黨受到遏制，各國政府仍將面臨持續的政治壓力，以避免此類支出。不出所料，美國的情況更加黯淡。由於國會的僵局，即使在支持性總統領導下，該國也難以獲得氣候融資。預計特朗普將盡其所能進一步削減海外發展資金。 然後是私營部門的問題。COP29融資決定（正式稱為新的集體量化目標）包括呼籲到2035年從「所有參與者」籌集每年1.3萬億美元的資金。要實現這一目標，就意味著3000億美元的公共資金將得到私營部門投資以及像中國這樣的國家的資金補充，這些國家在聯合國框架中並不被視為發達國家，但仍然擁有相當的財富。要讓私營部門的資金流動，需要金融創新和新的機制來降低私人投資者的風險。 此類機制是巴庫的一個熱門話題——事實上，近年來，它們也經常在國際氣候論壇上被討論。在理想情況下，政府和慈善資金可用於降低氣候適應和減緩項目風險，從而允許資金從私營部門投資者流入。但是，儘管談論了很多，但氣候領域的許多人仍然持懷疑態度。私營部門投資者根本不需要尋找全球南方來獲取回報，這使得他們參與的誘因有限。 當然，無論巴庫的結果如何，釋放數萬億美元投資的障礙仍然很艱巨。但至少，巴庫為世界提供了一個新的北極星。2035年既很近又很遠。當我們到達那裡時，預計各國將會抱怨——或慶祝——世界如何響應在巴庫設定的目標。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
Dictionary.com 宣布 2024 年度詞彙為「Demure」
(SeaPRwire) - 熱門線上詞典平台Dictionary.com已正式宣布年度代表字，他們做出了非常深思熟慮的選擇。 他們2024年的年度代表字是病毒式爆紅的「demure」，今年8月在TikTok上爆紅。它是由TikTok用戶Jools Lebron推廣的，她的短語「very demure, very mindful」在一系列病毒式影片中出現，並被其他創作者複製。Lebron也經常將這個詞與「cutesy」和「considerate」搭配使用，為她的追隨者提供建議，例如「如何在職場上表現得端莊、謙虛和尊重」。 Dictionary.com表示，今年1月至9月，「demure」在數位網路媒體上的使用次數增加了1200%，在Dictionary.com上的搜尋次數增加了200倍。 Dictionary.com將「demure」定義為「」，但這個詞因其網路聲名而煥發了新的生命——很快，從開車上班到吃甜甜圈，任何事情都可以被形容為demure。此外，Dictionary.com在其公告中表示，這個詞的發展也體現了這個常與順從和矜持相關的詞語如何賦予人力量，並幫助人們表達「靜謐的自信」。 作為一位跨性別女性，Lebron也利用這些「demure」影片的知名度來資助她餘下的變性手術和性別肯定治療，她曾在[來源不明]告訴她的粉絲們。除了Lebron之外，許多參與此趨勢的創作者也是其他的跨性別女性，她們提醒她們的追隨者如何表現得「mindful」和「demure」。 @OAKCHA @Paul | Fragrance Influencer 除了最佳選擇之外，Dictionary.com還公布了年度代表字入圍名單，其中包括Brainrot、 、 、Midwest Nice和Weird。 Dictionary.com還指出，他們選擇「demure」代表了公共生活的轉變，因為我們的集體詞彙正在從強調COVID-19大流行的隔離，轉向更加關注「個人形象和外貌，因為面對面的經驗再次成為常態」。 去年，該平台選擇「hallucinate」作為年度代表字，特別是在人工智慧的背景下。然而，今年他們的最佳選擇更傾向於網路熱門詞彙。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
打造淨零排放建築的設計公司
(SeaPRwire) - 今年，美國內政部內政商業中心在丹佛市啟用了一間新的辦公室空間。這棟建築是龐大的政府服務大樓群的一部分，是華盛頓特區以外最大的聯邦機構集中地。這棟建築曾多次被重新利用；它之前是二次世界大戰的彈藥工廠，最近則是老舊的國家檔案和記錄管理局倉庫。這項轉變不僅會改變辦公室地點，也是一項重要的升級：該建築作為一個設施運作，建築本身及其周圍區域都將獲得一些業界最高的永續性認證。 目前，這種淨零能耗建築仍然是例外而非常態。但Building 48 背後的設計公司希望改變這種現狀。「建築師對地球有很大的影響力，」CannonDesign 的永續發展總監 Eric Corey Freed 表示。「我們能否以這樣的方式建造，讓我們建造的建築越多，情況就越好，而不是像我們現在這樣，幾乎完全相反？」 在全球範圍內，建築業佔資源消耗的 50%，預計到 2060 年，隨著需求的增加，其總體規模將翻一番。設計和建造淨零排放建築並減少資源使用是實現經濟脫碳的關鍵挑戰之一。 該行業已開始在該領域取得一些進展。例如，由全球 165 多家公司簽署的 [這項承諾](需補充連結)，設定了 2030 年的最後期限，要求現有建築減少能源消耗並消除能源和製冷劑的排放。它還要求新的開發項目和重大翻新工程確保建築物效率極高，由可再生能源供電，並最大限度地減少整體碳排放。CannonDesign 於 2022 年簽署了這項承諾，並已內部承諾到 2030 年實現其所有資產的淨零營運碳排放。 CannonDesign 達到目標的方法之一包括不僅考慮建築物的能源使用情況，還考慮其 [碳足跡](需確認翻譯)。與營運碳（指建築物使用時釋放的排放物）不同，體現碳是指在建築材料的開採、製造、運輸、施工和處置過程中排放的二氧化碳。混凝土、鋼材和絕緣材料等材料會導致體現碳排放，這些排放量加起來佔全球溫室氣體排放量的 [需補充數據]。通過使用替代性的低碳材料，可以減少這些排放。例如，由 CannonDesign 設計的加州理工學院新的 Resnick 永續發展中心在其中庭使用了大木結構網殼，與鋼筋混凝土替代方案相比，減少了 [需補充數據] 的體現碳排放。 但 Freed 表示，公司看到的最大好處是重新利用和改造舊建築。 「如果你能將現有建築改造成你今天需要的樣子，它比新建一棟建築更具永續性，」他說。人們常常對新建築感到興奮，但它們的代價很高，包括對環境的代價。例如，將現有建築重新用於內政部商業中心，節省了相當於一輛普通汽車行駛 [需補充數據] 或為 3300 個家庭供電一年的碳排放量。總體而言，美國建築師協會估計，重新利用現有建築而不是新建建築可以節省 [需補充數據]。 CannonDesign 還將未來的氣候風險納入其設計中。例如，在邁阿密，[需補充建築名稱] 的設計能夠承受超過 185 英里/小時的風速和 20 英尺的風暴潮。 但 Freed 表示，氣候影響只是建築永續發展的一個方面。在過去幾年中，CannonDesign 闡述了一種新的理念，影響著它如何看待建築物的永續發展。它不側重於單個指標，而是採用一種 [需補充設計理念名稱] 方法，考察建築物在各個層面上的影響，從創造的親密的人類體驗，到它如何影響社區，直到它對環境和氣候的影響。他們最近的設計之一，位於舊金山郊外的 [需補充建築名稱]，體現了這一點。作為加州第一個也是全國最大的淨零能耗心理健康設施，它將利用屋頂和停車場上的太陽能板發電。但它的設計也旨在促進病人的康復和恢復，利用廣泛的文獻表明，永續和仿生設計如何幫助和促進心理健康和協作。 「永續發展不僅僅是降低營運成本，還能提升人們對建築的體驗，」Freed 說。「我並不是在向客戶推銷永續發展。我實際上是在向他們推銷永續發展帶來的結果和益處。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(SeaPRwire) - 本文是時代雜誌政治新聞電子報《華盛頓簡報》的一部分。請 註冊以接收此類文章。 上週，當消息傳遍華盛頓，稱唐納德·特朗普提名的人選將領導司法部，而他的名字卻因其令人難以置信的約會生活（據稱涉及未成年人、毒品和現金）而受到嚴厲審查時，在司法部員工中，舒了一口氣的聲音比任何地方都大。 「躲過一劫，”一位資深檢察官在蓋茨聲稱自行退出後的幾個小時裡給我發短信說。“我們怎麼這麼幸運？”另一個問道。“也許共和國還能堅持下去，”一位前檢察官發來信息。 在首都，司法部的同事們都希望他們也能得到同樣的好運。隨著特朗普即將帶著他自己的那一幫唯唯諾諾的人回到華盛頓，準備組建候任內閣，聯邦政府的員工們正在為一場他們前所未見的文化轉變做準備——甚至比八年前特朗普第一次來到華盛頓時還要更加嚴峻和迅速。當時，許多人認為，特朗普有兩道防線約束著他：他並不完全了解不受約束的總統職權可以有多大，而他周圍的人大多是循規蹈矩的CEO，他們會討好老闆，但往往也僅此而已。這次，他更了解這種潛力，並且從一個為電視而生的、甘願聽命於他的人群中挑選他的副手，他們都贊同他報復和反擊的議程。 特朗普正在組建數十年來最缺乏經驗的內閣之一，這個內閣的醜聞比墓地裡的骷髏還多，而且能否全部順利通過的可能性很小。潛在的被提名人沒有接受傳統的聯邦調查局背景調查，而是從平板電視上播放的候選人在有線新聞中的片段中選出來的。具體的知識或技能是次要的，特朗普從他們身上得到的感受，以及他們在福克斯新聞上的表現如何，才是主要的。 看看馬特·蓋茨，他是他第一個——也是很快失敗的——司法部長人選。這位前國會議員的法律經驗有限，而且沒有管理大型組織的經驗。更糟糕的是，佛羅里達州的這位共和黨人受到了他被任命領導的部門的調查，一個倫理小組的報告即將公佈關於他與青少年關係的無數事例，甚至他最狂熱的MAGA同事也看到了這一提名面臨的麻煩。在令人震驚的八天裡，蓋茨從國會議員到迅速崛起的內閣提名人，再到身敗名裂。 至少目前，取代他的人是帕姆·邦迪，她是佛羅里達州前司法部長，同時也是特朗普的追隨者和選舉舞弊的擁護者，但她被認為沒那麼糟糕。 對於其餘的被提名人，尤其是皮特·赫格塞斯、和羅伯特·F·肯尼迪小兒，關於能力和性情的合理擔憂並沒有消失。蓋茨的退出並沒有減輕參議院共和黨人的日益增長的挫敗感，因為特朗普不斷挑戰他們，除了接受他正在組建的荒唐團隊之外，什麼也不做。 這不僅僅是關於最高職位。特朗普和他的盟友準備在更低的層級安插忠於MAGA的人，這使得在所有層級實施大規模變革變得更加容易，首先是廣泛預計的強制返回辦公室政策，這本身就可能削減員工數量。（事實上，這正是這一轉變的一個方面，在考慮聯邦政府員工實際上在哪裡工作時，並沒有完全考慮到。）盟友們已經公開表示支持這一舉措，暗示它可能擁有廣泛的支持，很快就會蔓延到私營企業。簡而言之：如果聯邦政府的員工對遠程工作太過舒適，特朗普樂意將他們掃地出門。 聯邦僱員——他們構成了這個國家單一體系下最大的勞動力——很大程度上受他們即將上任的CEO的支配，這位CEO公開表示鄙視他認為不忠誠甚至背叛國家的職業隊伍。新一批的副手將執行特朗普的意願。 目前看來，司法部終身僱員避免了在一個主要才能是討好特朗普的新手的指揮下工作的命運。他們在政府中的同事可能不會得到同樣的幸運。 了解華盛頓最重要的事情。。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目」終期報告發佈
上海, 2024年11月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 雲頂新耀（HKEX 1952.HK）是一家專注于創新藥研發、臨床開發、製造和商業化的生物製藥公司，今日宣佈由國家衛生健康委抗菌藥物臨床應用與耐藥評價專家委員會發起並主辦的「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目」總結會在北京舉行，並發佈了項目終期報告。該項目旨在對我國新型抗菌藥物用於感染治療的臨床綜合評價，進一步促進新上市抗微生物藥物在臨床應用中的合理性，為國家制定相關政策提供數據支持，更好地服務于患者。終期報告顯示，經依拉環素治療3天時的整體有效率為91.1%，治療結束時的總治療有效率為90.1%。抗微生物藥物耐藥性（Antimicrobial Resistance，AMR）是21世紀全球最嚴峻的健康挑戰之一。世界衛生組織（WHO）稱，到2050年，每年可能約有1000萬人死於AMR，這也將超過癌症的死亡人數，使得AMR成為致死的主要原因。依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目自2023年9月23日啟動，於2024年11月完成項目數據收集。項目共採集病例3369例，來自全國231家醫院的839位醫生。總結會上共發佈六份終期報告，包括一份總項目數據分析報告以及五份專科報告。數據顯示，依拉環素主要用於病情複雜的感染患者，3369例病例來源科室中，ICU最多，其次為血液科，分別占46.8%和23.6%；從感染類型來看，肺炎最為常見，占比62.5%，肺炎合併血流感染和肺炎合并腹腔感染分別占比7.1%和5.0%；在2373例單一病原體感染中，鮑曼不動桿菌最為常見，占比52.0%，其次為肺炎克雷伯菌，占比26.1%。依拉環素治療的這些病例中，體外藥敏結果顯示：鮑曼不動桿菌對亞胺培南和美羅培南的耐藥率分別為92.9%和90.3%，肺炎克雷伯菌對亞胺培南和美羅培南的耐藥率分別為82.0%和82.1%（根據CLSI折點）。依拉環素對單一感染病原體的鮑曼不動桿菌和肺炎克雷伯菌敏感率分別為95.5%和92.5%（根據ChinaCAST折點）。臨床療效分析顯示，依拉環素治療3天時的整體有效率為91.1%；治療結束時整體有效率為90.1%，患者平均3.2天退熱；從病原體分析來看，依拉環素對不同病原體的治療結束時有效率分別為大腸埃希菌94.0%、鮑曼不動桿菌91.4%、肺炎克雷伯菌91,2%，嗜麥芽窄食單胞菌90.3%；治療結束時微生物學整體有效性評價顯示，其總有效率為90.7%；從第30天感染轉歸來看，總臨床有效率為85.9%；患者預後分析顯示，患者好轉出院率為83.0%。研究中，依拉環素安全性良好，總體不良反應發生率僅2.7%。綜上所述，依拉環素在治療來自ICU、血液科、移植科、呼吸科等多個科室的感染患者，尤其對於碳青霉烯耐藥的鮑曼不動桿菌、肺炎克雷伯菌等多種病原體導致的肺部感染患者中，顯示出良好的療效和安全性。雲頂新耀首席執行官羅永慶表示：「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目終期報告的發佈具有里程碑式意義，報告表明依拉環素（依嘉(R)）抗菌譜廣、抗菌活性強、治療多重耐藥菌所致感染的臨床療效顯著，不良事件發生率低，為臨床積極應對多重耐藥菌感染威脅提供了有力武器。目前，抗微生物藥物耐藥性已被WHO列為全球十大公共衛生威脅之一，到2050年，每年可能導致1000萬人死亡，超過癌症的死亡人數，成為致死的主要原因，給人類健康帶來沉重負擔。作為全球首個且唯一的全新一類的抗菌藥物—氟環素類，依拉環素已獲得國內外多個治療指南/共識的推薦，並被列入最新2024 WHO更新的具有重要醫學意義的抗微生物藥物清單。未來，隨著更多真實世界研究的開展和臨床用藥經驗的積累，依拉環素還將展現出更廣闊的應用前景，我們也將致力於讓依拉環素精准惠及更多感染患者。」「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目」總牽頭人、北京協和醫學院臨床檢驗診斷學系主任徐英春教授表示：「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目採集病例涵蓋了多個科室，這一數據集的規模與完整性在國內和國際同類研究中居於領先地位，為深入理解感染性疾病的治療與抗菌藥物管理提供寶貴的實證基礎。依拉環素在耐藥菌感染治療中的有效性，特別是在重症和血液科的應用，為患者帶來了良好的臨床獲益，終期報告驗證了依拉環素的療效和安全性，期待未來有更多的患者從中獲益。」此前，「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目」中期報告在今年8月份公佈，療效分析顯示依拉環素在ICU和血液等科室，尤其是鮑曼不動桿菌、肺炎克雷伯菌等病原體所致肺部感染方面，顯示出良好的有效性和安全性。依嘉(R)於2023年3月獲得中國國家藥品監督管理局（NMPA）的批准，並于當年7月成功商業化上市，抗菌譜覆蓋臨床常見包括多重耐藥菌在內的革蘭陰性菌、革蘭陽性菌、厭氧菌，以及包括耐藥肺炎支原體在內的非典型病原體，被列入2023版中國《耐碳青霉烯革蘭陰性菌（CRO）感染的診療與防控指南》等多項臨床指南和專家共識。2024年3月，WHO更新了「醫學上重要的抗微生物藥物」（Medically Important Antimicrobials，MIA ）清單，基於氟環素對四環素側鏈的全新改造使其在耐藥機制上有了很大變化，WHO將氟環素單獨歸類為新的抗菌藥物類別，依拉環素為該類中唯一藥物。關於依嘉(R)（依拉環素）依嘉(R)（依拉環素）是全球首個氟環素類抗菌藥物，用於治療包括臨床常見多重耐藥菌在內的革蘭陰性菌、革蘭陽性菌、厭氧菌等所引起的感染。依嘉(R)目前已在美國、歐盟、英國、新加坡、中國大陸、中國香港和中國台灣地區被批准用於治療複雜性腹腔內感染（cIAI）。依嘉(R)是雲頂新耀從Tetraphase製藥公司（為Innoviva, Inc.的全資子公司）授權引進。關於依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目該項目由國家衛生健康委抗菌藥物臨床應用與耐藥評價專家委員會發起並主辦，北京康盟慈善基金會、北京生命綠洲公益服務中心共同承辦，旨在對我國新型抗菌藥物用於感染治療的臨床綜合評價，進一步促進新上市抗微生物藥物在臨床應用中的合理性，為國家制定相關政策提供數據支持，更好的服務于患者。如需瞭解依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目終期報告的更多信息，請訪問項目官方網站：http://www.kangnaiyaopingjiawei.com/?page_id=1751。關於雲頂新耀雲頂新耀是一家專注于創新藥和疫苗研發、臨床開發、製造和商業化的生物製藥公司，致力於滿足亞洲市場尚未滿足的醫療需求。雲頂新耀的管理團隊在中國及全球領先製藥企業從事過高質量研發、臨床開發、藥政事務、化學製造與控制（CMC）、業務發展和商業化運營，擁有深厚的專長和豐富的經驗。雲頂新耀已打造多款疾病首創或者同類最佳的藥物組合，公司的治療領域包括腎科疾病、感染性和傳染性疾病、自身免疫性疾病。有關更多信息，請訪問公司網站：www.everestmedicines.com。前瞻性聲明本新聞稿所發佈的信息中可能會包含某些前瞻性表述，乃基於本公司或管理層在做出表述時對公司業務運營情況及財務狀況的現有看法、相信、和現有預期，可能會使用「將」、「預期」、「預測」、「期望」、「打算」、「計畫」、「相信」、「預估」、「確信」及其他類似詞語進行表述。這些前瞻性表述並非對未來業績的保證，會受到風險、不確定性及其他因素的影響，有些乃超出本公司的控制範圍，難以預計。因此，受我們的業務、競爭環境、政治、經濟、法律和社會情況的未來變化及發展等各種因素及假設的影響，實際結果可能會與前瞻性表述所含資料有較大差別。本公司及各附屬公司、各位董事、管理人員、顧問及代理未曾且概不承擔更新該稿件所載前瞻性表述以反映在本新聞稿發布日後最新信息、未來項目或情形的任何義務，除非法律要求。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
Propel Global Reports Encouraging 24.2% Growth in Revenue to RM34.3 Million in Q1 FY2025
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PROPEL GLOBAL BERHAD ("Propel Global" or the "Group”), a provider of oil and gas (“O&G”) services, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 (“Q1 FY2025”). The Group recorded revenue of RM34.3 million for the quarter ended 30 September 2024, reflecting a 24.2% increase from RM27.6 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year (“Q1 FY2024”).Ms. Angeline Lee, Executive Director, Group Chief Executive Officer of Propel GlobalThe Group achieved revenue growth in Q1 FY2025, driven primarily by the Oil & Gas (“O&G”) segment, which contributed RM20.3 million. This performance was supported by ongoing Engineering, Procurement, Construction & Commissioning (“EPCC”) and Marine Heating, Ventilation, and Air-conditioning (“HVAC”) projects. While the segment’s profit before tax (“PBT”) moderated to RM1.4 million compared to RM5.0 million in Q1 FY2024, this was primarily due to a foreign exchange loss of RM1.1 million from the depreciation of the US Dollar and the absence of one-off gains recorded in the previous year, amounting to RM2.8 million.The Technical Services (“TS”) segment achieved impressive revenue growth, reaching RM11.2 million, up from RM8.6 million in Q1 FY2024, reflecting progress on the construction of an electronics factory in Chuping, Perlis. Although the segment posted a marginal loss before tax (“LBT”) of RM0.2 million, this was mainly due to increased material and operational costs, which the Group is actively addressing to enhance margins moving forward.The Information and Communications Technology (“ICT”) segment continued its steady performance, contributing RM2.8 million in revenue and RM0.6 million in PBT. This reflects the success of the Group’s diversification strategy and its ability to capitalise on growth opportunities in the digital technology sector.For Q1 FY2025, the Group reported a LBT of RM4.0 million, compared to a PBT of RM0.9 million in Q1 FY2024. This was due to higher corporate administrative expenses, including professional charges and staff costs, along with a fair value loss of RM0.5 million on quoted shares and goodwill impairment losses of RM0.2 million. The absence of one-off gains recorded in the previous year further impacted the overall comparative performance.Despite these challenges, the Group remains well-positioned for future growth, with total equity of RM102.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of RM19.8 million as of 30 September 2024. This robust position enables PGB to invest in strategic initiatives and confidently navigate market uncertainties while maintaining a focus on long term value creation for stakeholders.Ms. Angeline Lee, Executive Director / Group Chief Executive Officer of Propel Global commented, “Our Q1 FY2025 results highlight the resilience of our business amidst external challenges. While foreign exchange losses and the absence of one-off gains impacted our profitability, our revenue growth reflects the strength of our core operations and ongoing diversification efforts.”She added, “With our increased stake in Best Wide Engineering Sdn. Bhd. (“BWE”) to 90.0%, we are well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities in the oil and gas sector, particularly as Petronas continues its RM60 billion capital expenditure. Additionally, our focus on HVAC services aligns with Malaysia’s sustainability goals under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and Budget 2025, positioning us to meet the rising demand for energy-efficient solutions.”The Group remains optimistic about its growth prospects in fiscal year 2025 (“FY2025”). In the O&G segment, Petronas’ substantial investments, including RM10 billion in recently awarded contracts for Maintenance, Construction, and Modification (“MCM”) projects, provide a solid foundation for growth.

福瑞泰克赴港IPO 上汽北汽東風吉利等多家頭部車企為股東
香港, 2024年11月25日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近年來，隨著汽車電動化、智能化發展，中國智能駕駛科技市場規模快速增長，讓越來越多的用戶享受到更安全、舒適和智能的出行體驗。在這個過程中，扮演重要角色的智駕企業也步入了高速增長階段。其中，作為在全球範圍內提供智駕解决方案的科技企業之一，福瑞泰克（浙江）智能科技股份有限公司于11月22日向港交所遞交上市申請，借助資本市場將進一步擴大領先地位。站在長坡厚雪賽道，業績呈快速增長趨勢福瑞泰克專注于高級駕駛輔助系統(ADAS)和自動駕駛系統(ADS)技術，主要為OEM提供全棧智能駕駛解决方案，包括大型傳統OEM和新興汽車製造商。據灼識諮詢的資料，在2023年中國L2級及L2+/L2++級智能駕駛解决方案市場中，公司位列自主供應商第三名，市場份額為14.6%。從行業角度來看，具有領先優勢往往意味著公司擁有更出色的産品交付能力，更廣泛的客戶群體和更完善的技術平臺，使公司能够抓住市場機遇，為客戶提供優質的服務，從而確立市場地位。具體來看，上述底氣體現在市場的增長潜力和公司持續釋放的業績潜能。就前者來說，隨著高速NOA和城市NOA加速普及，汽車智能化發展勢頭日益强勁。全球量産級L0級至L2+╱L2++級智駕解决方案以收入計的市場規模由2019年的1083億元增加至2023年的2771億元，複合年增長率為26.5%，預期到2028年將達到6503億元，2023年至2028年的複合年增長率爲18.6%。而中國作為全球最大的智駕解决方案市場，預期到2028年將達到2103億元，2023年至2028年的複合年增長率爲24.1%。其中，搭載L2級智駕解决方案的汽車滲透率預期將從2023年的33.8%增至2028年的51.8%，搭載L2+/L2++級智駕解决方案的汽車滲透率預期將從2023年的3.6%增至2028年的22.1%。這意味著，福瑞泰克正處在一個高成長賽道之上，有望抓住中國乃至全球市場中井噴的客戶需求，未來對海外市場的持續布局將轉化為重要的增長點。就後者來說，福瑞泰克在過去幾年的業績呈現加速增長趨勢。招股書顯示，收入由2021年的3.33億元增長至2023年的9.08億元，三年時間收入規模翻了三倍，2024年上半年的收入同比增長33.7%至3.12億元。這體現出公司業務保持擴張，證明了其在智駕解决方案市場具備競爭優勢，展現出充足的商業化潜能。此外，公司在研發上大力投入，2021年至2023年，分別投入1.84億元、5.15億元和5.61億元，三年累計超12.6億元，為公司抓住更多變現機會，展現更强大的盈利能力提供可靠的支撑。所以，綜合考慮公司當前的領先地位、全球智駕解决方案市場的潜力、公司日益完善的商業化能力，福瑞泰克有實力為投資者描繪向好的增長姿態和成長預期，這也無疑會對市場資金釋放出巨大的吸引力。多維度競爭壁壘，多元投資方加持，有望塑造行業標杆如何評估福瑞泰克的長期潜力？在廣泛認知中，要在智駕科技領域持續突破，企業往往要面對以下難點：較長的驗證周期、交付周期；技術、人才和資源等多方面的考慮；在較高的投入回報周期下，部分企業還要考慮資金壓力。對福瑞泰克來說，其正是圍繞這些方面建立起了多維度的競爭壁壘。首先是客戶壁壘。公司掌握多元化的合作夥伴，招股書顯示，截至今年上半年，公司已與46家OEM建立業務合作夥伴關係，涵蓋了全部國內十大OEM（按2023年汽車銷量計），幷擁有累計超過280個定點項目及累計超過200個量産項目，覆蓋多樣化且不斷增長的車型。這說明福瑞泰克在市場端有著深厚積累和量産項目經驗，使得産能利用率得到保障，釋放規模效應的同時帶來穩定的業績增長。這也意味著，公司在交付能力、質量管控等方面具備競爭優勢，收穫大量OEM認可。比如，截至今年上半年，公司的智駕解决方案的最短交付周期僅8個月，根據灼識諮詢的資料，這顯著快于行業平均水平。其次是技術壁壘。從終端客戶的需求來判斷智駕技術領先，本質是判斷安全、舒適、智能的車輛駕駛體驗。不同的智駕科技企業帶來的實際體驗差异較大，背後具備極高的技術門檻。而福瑞泰克基于全棧自研的ODIN平臺，硬件、軟件和算法的深度整合，在保證産品最佳性能的同時，能够高效地為客戶提供兼容不同車型，全面、靈活且具備成本效益的解决方案。由此，福瑞泰克在行業中具備差异化優勢。比如，以13 TOPS的算力提供行業領先的高速NOA和APA等行泊一體高階智駕功能，在低算力要求下實現高性價比的産品。在嚴格管控單車成本的背景下，技術和産品順應最新的市場趨勢，由此具備充足的市場競爭力。最後是人才和資源壁壘。招股書顯示，目前公司共有員工855人，其中研發人員625人，占總員工的73.1%。其中，50.6%持有學士學位，47.2%持有碩士或以上學位。公司掌握行業稀缺的研發人才，給技術創新提供了底層的支撑。同時，公司此前已完成多輪融資，股東包括政府産業基金、知名專業投資機構以及吉利、上汽、北汽、東風及陝汽等多家行業戰略合作夥伴。多元化的股東背景能為公司的業務發展提供全面的支持，此外，這也足見IPO前投資者對公司價值的高度認可。智駕産業具備技術、人才和資本密集等特點，長期來看，高端且高性價比的智駕解决方案産品，天然有著較高的競爭壁壘。因此，福瑞泰克有望在競爭中持續勝出，打造成為行業標杆，長期樹立牢固的行業地位。總結：總的來說，福瑞泰克作為投資標的，從業績、技術、客戶和資源等多維度來看，公司含金量較高，幷且掌握少數玩家才擁有的競爭力。從市場角度看，當前汽車智能化滲透率還有巨大的提升空間，智駕解决方案市場尚在發展初期，行業格局還沒有定型。而公司已占據領先地位，有望實現"强者恒强"。所以，投資者有理由認可福瑞泰克的價值潜力，若未來成功上市，表現也將令人期待。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing reinforces WRC line-up with youth and experience for 2025
Toyota City, Japan, Nov 25, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team has presented its line-up for the 2025 FIA World Rally Championship season as it further strengthens its squad of drivers with a mix of young talent and title-winning experience.After winning eight out of 13 rallies in 2024 and claiming a fourth consecutive manufacturers’ championship at the season-ending Rally Japan, TGR-WRT will enter 2025 with the mission to defend its crown and fight for the drivers’ and co-drivers’ titles. It will be able to count on an expanded line-up of cars and drivers, with four or five GR Yaris Rally1 entries set to appear on each event.Joining the team to start his first full season at the highest level will be Sami Pajari, following an impressive 2024 season in which he won the WRC2 drivers’ championship driving the GR Yaris Rally2 car and performed well in his first three outings in Rally1 machinery in Finland, Chile and Central Europe. The 22-year-old from Finland’s promotion demonstrates TGR-WRT’s commitment to developing young drivers as well as the GR Yaris Rally2’s role in providing a pathway to the top of the sport.Pajari, who will confirm the identity of his co-driver in due course, is one of four drivers who are set to feature on every rally.Double world champions Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen will return to competing full-time with the team in 2025 after taking four wins from seven starts during a partial campaign this year. Elfyn Evans and co-driver Scott Martin, winners of last weekend’s Rally Japan, continue for their sixth successive season with the team, with Takamoto Katsuta and Aaron Johnston also returning for another year. Eight-time world champion Sébastien Ogier and co-driver Vincent Landais will once more contest a partial schedule of selected events after scoring three victories this season.TGR-WRT is pleased to confirm that Jari-Matti Latvala will continue in the role of Team Principal. In the last four seasons, in addition to overseeing numerous victories and championship titles, Latvala has been a trusted associate for the team’s drivers while also helping to identify and develop new talent such as Pajari.As part of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s driver-first approach, Latvala has also been given the opportunity by Akio Toyoda, TGR-WRT Chairman, to continue pursuing his first love of driving alongside his duties of Team Principal – for example, competing in Rally Finland with a GR Yaris Rally1 in 2023 and GR Yaris Rally2 in 2024. This will continue in 2025 when Latvala will drive one of the most successful Toyota rally cars – the Celica ST185 – in the FIA European Historic Rally Championship. He will do so in the colours of TGR, helping to connect the eras of Toyota participation in WRC and further share its passion for rallying with fans.In order to best support the team and ensure the continuation of the successful driver-first approach, Juha Kankkunen will take up the role of Deputy Team Principal. A four-time world champion, who won the last of his titles driving the Toyota Celica ST185 in 1993, Kankkunen will bring considerable experience of success to share with the drivers and other team members. He already knows the team well, having attended several events in an ambassadorial role over the past few years.Team nameTOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRT (World Rally Team)ChairmanAkio ToyodaTeam PrincipalJari-Matti Latvala (Finland)Deputy Team PrincipalJuha Kankkunen (Finland)VehicleGR Yaris Rally1 (length 4207mm; width 1875mm)EngineGI4BTyresHankookDriver/Co-driverDriverElfyn Evans (UK)Co-driverScott Martin (UK)DriverSébastien Ogier (France)Co-driverVincent Landais (France)DriverKalle Rovanperä (Finland)Co-driverJonne Halttunen (Finland)DriverTakamoto Katsuta (Japan)Co-driverAaron Johnston (Ireland)DriverSami Pajari (Finland)Co-driverTBCQuotes:Jari-Matti Latvala (Team Principal):“The 2024 season presented new challenges for our team, but we continued to perform at a high level and kept fighting until the final day to successfully retain our manufacturers’ title. For 2025, we are really happy to continue with the same drivers who have been performing strongly for us over recent seasons, and to have more drivers strengthening our efforts for the full championship. It’s also great to welcome Sami Pajari to our line-up thanks to the investment that we are making to develop young drivers. Sami has made great steps this year and we are confident that he’s ready to move up to the highest level. Personally, I’m very excited to have the opportunity to combine my role as Team Principal with my passion for driving, competing with the legendary Toyota Celica, and I’m really pleased that Juha Kankkunen will take on the role of Deputy Team Principal to support me and the team on WRC events: he knows the team well and brings a lot of experience to the role.”Juha Kankkunen (Deputy Team Principal):“It is a great pleasure for me to take on this role with the team. During my career I drove with many different teams but I had nine years in total with Toyota: it was the first manufacturer to give me an opportunity in the WRC, and I believe it is probably the best team in the world. There are very good people and the cooperation has always been excellent between Europe and Japan. This team spirit and teamwork is very important and everybody is pushing together. I have a good relationship with Akio Toyoda, having been driving together with him in demonstration events in the last few years, and also with Jari-Matti, who is a great person and very easy to talk with. I’m really happy to work more closely with them and to help the team where I can.”Elfyn Evans:“I’m very happy to continue with TGR-WRT next year. Since 2020 we’ve had some great seasons together, and although 2024 could have been even more successful, I know that there’s still a lot of potential in the team and I feel I have plenty more to give as well. So I’m looking forward to continuing our partnership. We know that we need to keep working hard together and hopefully we can achieve more good results in the future.”Kalle Rovanperä:“I’m really excited that I will be driving in the full WRC season again next year. This year has been quite different for me, driving a few different cars and still winning some rallies at the same time. It’s been a nice year, but it’s also given me a lot of motivation to return for the full season, to push together with Jonne for the drivers’ and co-drivers’ titles and do our best with the team to win the manufacturers’ championship too.”Sébastien Ogier:“It’s really exciting to remain with TOYOTA GAZOO Racing for 2025. We have already had five very fantastic seasons together with a lot of victories and success and I’m really looking forward to continuing this story. Once again my main goal is to give my support to the team in the manufacturers’ championship in a partial programme, and hopefully we can manage to win all three titles. Let’s keep pushing the limits together.”Takamoto Katsuta:“I’m really happy that I will continue driving with the team in 2025. It has been a challenging season for me this year, and I want to thank the team and everyone who has been supporting me in the difficult moments. I feel I have shown my speed on most of the rallies, so the confidence is growing and I just need to find the right rhythm through every rally: this is my main target next year. If everything goes well, I’m sure I can fight for more podiums.”Sami Pajari:“This is a dream come true for me and I’m really grateful to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing and the team for giving me this amazing opportunity. There have also been many important people who have been helping me and making this possible. It has been an incredible year for us in the GR Yaris Rally2 and in our first events in the Rally1 car, and although we have now reached the place we were aiming for, I also know that this is where the hard work really starts to learn and to push for good results in the future.”TGR WRC Challenge ProgramThe TGR WRC Challenge Program started in 2015 aiming to develop professional rally drivers who can compete on the world stage, following in the footsteps of Takamoto Katsuta. The program’s second-generation drivers Hikaru Kogure and Yuki Yamamoto will both continue in 2025. It will be their second season driving the GR Yaris Rally2 car on events, including WRC2 rounds, after gaining valuable experience this year.A third generation of drivers, Shotaro Goto and Takumi Matsushita, were selected to join the program ahead of 2024. Having now taken part in their first rallies in Europe in Rally4 cars, they will continue their training in 2025 with a step up to four-wheel drive Rally3 machinery.The process to select a fourth intake of young drivers is underway. Following an initial selection event at Fuji Speedway, seven drivers will take part in the final selection in Finland in December.DriverHikaru Kogure (Japan)DriverYuki Yamamoto (Japan)DriverShotaro Goto (Japan)DriverTakumi Matsushita (Japan) Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

(SeaPRwire) - 對女性而言，最危險的地方是家裡，去年平均每天有140名婦女和女孩被親密伴侶或家庭成員殺害，聯合國兩個機構週一表示。 聯合國婦女署和聯合國毒品和犯罪問題辦公室表示，在全球範圍內，2023年約有51,100名婦女和女孩死於親密伴侶或家庭成員之手，比2022年估計的48,800名受害者有所增加。 這份在國際消除對婦女暴力日發布的報告指出，這一增長主要是由於更多國家提供了更多數據，而不是因為殺戮事件增多。 但這兩個機構強調，「世界各地的婦女和女孩繼續受到這種極端形式的性別暴力影響，沒有任何地區倖免。」他們還表示，「家是婦女和女孩最危險的地方。」 報告稱，親密伴侶和家庭成員殺害事件發生數量最多的是非洲——2023年估計有21,700名受害者。非洲的受害者人數相對於其人口規模也是最高的——每10萬人中有2.9名受害者。 報告稱，美洲去年的比率也很高，每10萬人中有1.6名女性受害者，大洋洲為每10萬人中有1.5名受害者。亞洲的比率明顯較低，為每10萬人中有0.8名受害者，歐洲為每10萬人中有0.6名受害者。 根據該報告，在歐洲和美洲，私領域中婦女被蓄意殺害的事件主要由親密伴侶所為。 相比之下，報告稱，大多數男性兇殺案發生在家庭和家庭以外。 「儘管男性和男孩佔兇殺案受害者的絕大多數，但婦女和女孩在私領域仍然不成比例地受到致命暴力的影響，」報告說。 「2023年，約80%的兇殺案受害者是男性，20%是女性，但在家庭暴力中，女性受到的傷害遠大於男性，2023年所有被蓄意殺害的女性中，近60%是親密伴侶/家庭成員兇殺案的受害者，」報告說。 報告指出，儘管各國努力防止婦女和女孩被殺害，但「她們被殺害的數量仍然高得令人震驚」。 這兩個機構表示：「這些事件往往是反復發生的性別暴力事件的最終結果，這意味著通過及時有效的干預措施是可以預防的。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
