TOKYO, Nov 21, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today unveiled the demonstration production line for all-solid-state batteries, which is being developed independently by Honda toward mass production. The line was constructed on the property of Honda R&D Co., Ltd. (Sakura), located in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. While conducting technical verification to establish a mass production process on this demonstration line, Honda will determine the basic specifications of the battery cells, with an aim to begin applying its all-solid-state batteries to electrified models that will be introduced to market in the second half of the 2020s.For the purpose of establishing the mass production process for its all-solid-state batteries, Honda built this demonstration line that replicates processes required for the mass production. The demonstration line has a total floor area of approximately 27,400 m2 (295,000 ft2), and is equipped with facilities and equipment that enable verification of each production process, including weighing and mixing of electrode materials, coating and roll pressing of electrode assembly and the formation of cells, and assembly of the module. The construction of the facility building was completed in spring of this year, with almost all of the key equipment necessary for the verification now installed. Honda is planning to begin battery production on this demonstration line in January 2025 and will conduct verification of mass production technologies and costs for each process, while also developing battery cell specifications.Based on the conventional production process for liquid lithium-ion batteries, the Honda all-solid-state battery production process adopts a roll-pressing technique which will contribute to an increase in the density of the solid electrolyte layers, a process unique only to the production of all-solid-state batteries, and makes continuous pressing possible. With the adoption of the roll-pressing technique, Honda will strive to increase the degree of interfacial contact between the electrolyte and the electrodes and also increase overall productivity. Moreover, by consolidating and speeding up a series of assembly processes, including the bonding of positive and negative electrodes, Honda will strive to significantly reduce the production time per cell. Furthermore, Honda is also working to reduce indirect costs of battery production, including power consumption, by implementing various measures, including the establishment of production control technology that minimizes the low dew point environment necessary to ensure work safety and battery performance.By increasing cost competitiveness of its all-solid-state batteries through the adoption of a highly efficient production process and by expanding application of the batteries to a wide range of Honda mobility products, not only automobiles but motorcycles and aircraft, Honda aims to further reduce battery costs by taking advantage of economies of scale. Through these initiatives, Honda will offer new value made possible by its innovative all-solid-state battery technologies to an even greater number of customers and expand the joy of mobility.Honda has abundant manufacturing expertise and a proven track record of achieving mass production of new technologies, such as solar cells and fuel cells. Now, in the area of all-solid-state batteries, Honda is conducting speedy research and development in two core areas – material specifications and manufacturing methods – with the aim of starting mass production of the battery in the second half of the 2020s. Even before the battery materials and specifications are determined, the production engineering division has been participating in development and taking part in decisions on battery structure, materials, and production methods, which would be most suitable for vehicle installation. As a result, Honda was able to begin operation of this demonstration line quickly, and is making efficient progress in material selections.Striving to realize carbon neutrality for all Honda products and corporate activities by 2050, Honda has set a target to make battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles represent 100% of its new vehicle sales globally by 2040. Due to their characteristics of high energy density and excellent heat resistance, all-solid batteries are expected to be the next-generation batteries that will solve issues that hinder the popularization of EVs such as range, price, and charging time. In addition to the high energy density and durability achieved by its original material design technology, Honda is striving to lower the cost of the batteries by simplifying the cooling structure by taking advantage of high heat resistance and realizing highly efficient production processes, thereby achieving a significant advancement of EV performance and creation of new value for its customers.Comments by Keiji Otsu, President and Representative Director of Honda R&D Co., Ltd.“The all-solid-state battery is an innovative technology that will be a game changer in this EV era.

澳洲國會提出劃時代法案，禁止兒童使用社群媒體
(SeaPRwire) - 墨爾本——澳洲通訊部長週四向國會提出了一項世界首創的法案，該法案將禁止16歲以下兒童使用社交媒體，並表示線上安全是父母面臨的最艱鉅挑戰之一。 Michelle Rowland表示，TikTok、Facebook、Snapchat、Reddit、X和Instagram等平台，若系統性地未能阻止幼童註冊帳戶，將面臨高達5000萬澳元（3300萬美元）的罰款。 Rowland在國會表示：「這項法案旨在確立社會的新規範價值觀，即使用社交媒體並非在澳洲長大的決定性特徵。」 她補充說：「人們普遍認為，必須立即採取行動，以防止年輕青少年和兒童接觸到未經篩選且無限量的內容。」 該法案獲得廣泛的政治支持。該法案通過後，各平台將有一年的時間來制定如何實施年齡限制的方案。 Rowland表示：「對許多澳洲年輕人來說，社交媒體可能是有害的。幾乎三分之二的14至17歲澳洲年輕人觀看過極其有害的線上內容，包括吸毒、自殺或自殘以及暴力內容。四分之一的年輕人接觸到宣揚不安全飲食習慣的內容。」 她說，政府研究發現，「95%的澳洲照顧者認為線上安全是他們面臨的最艱鉅的育兒挑戰之一」。 她說，社交媒體負有社會責任，可以在解決平台上的危害方面做得更好。 Rowland表示：「這關乎保護年輕人，而不是懲罰或孤立他們，並讓父母知道，在支持孩子的身心健康方面，我們與他們站在一起。」 兒童福利和互聯網專家對此禁令表示擔憂，包括將14歲和15歲的青少年與他們已經建立的線上社交網絡隔離。 Rowland表示，不會對訊息服務、線上遊戲或大量支持用戶健康和教育的平台實施年齡限制。 Rowland說：「我們並不是說訊息應用程式或線上遊戲不存在風險。雖然使用者仍然可能因其他使用者而接觸到有害內容，但他們不會面臨同樣的演算法內容策劃和心理操縱，以鼓勵近乎無限的參與。」 政府上週表示，由英國公司Age Check Certification Scheme領導的財團已獲得委託，以檢驗各種估計和驗證年齡的技術。 政府聲明表示，除了將16歲以下兒童從社交媒體中移除外，澳洲也在尋找方法來防止18歲以下兒童訪問線上色情內容。 Age Check Certification Scheme的首席執行官Tony Allen週一表示，正在考慮的技術包括年齡估計和年齡推斷。推斷包括確定一系列關於個人的事實，這些事實表明他們至少達到一定的年齡。 Rowland表示，如果這些平台濫用為年齡保證目的而獲得的用戶個人信息，他們也將面臨高達5000萬澳元（3300萬美元）的罰款。 她說，用於年齡保證的信息必須在完成其目的後銷毀，除非用戶同意保留。 澳洲數位產業集團Digital Industry Group Inc.表示，由於國會預計將在下週就該法案進行投票，因此可能沒有時間就「這項在全球範圍內史無前例的法案的細節進行有意義的協商」。 DIGI董事總經理Sunita Bose在一份聲明中表示：「主流數位平台已實施嚴格措施來保障年輕人的安全，而禁令可能會將年輕人推向更黑暗、更不安全的線上空間，這些空間沒有安全保障。」 Bose補充說：「一刀切的禁令不會鼓勵公司持續改進安全措施，因為重點是讓青少年遠離服務，而不是在他們使用服務時保障他們的安全。」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。
美澳遊客在寮國飲用受污染酒精後死亡 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 寮國萬象——一名澳洲少女在寮國旺陽飲用受污染的酒精後死亡，澳洲總理周四稱此為每個家長最可怕的噩夢，美國國務院證實，另一名美國遊客也在同一個派對小鎮死亡，使死亡人數增至四人。 澳洲總理艾班尼斯告訴國會，19歲的碧安卡·瓊斯在被送往泰國醫院治療後死亡。她的朋友，也是19歲，仍在泰國醫院接受治療。 「這是每個家長最害怕的事情，也是任何人都無法承受的噩夢，」艾班尼斯說。「我們也要藉此機會說，我們正在為仍在為生命奮鬥的碧安卡的朋友霍莉·鮑爾斯祈禱。」 瓊斯的家人在給墨爾本先驅太陽報的一份聲明中，請求尊重他們的悲痛，保持隱私。 「她被愛包圍著，我們欣慰地知道，她在世上的時間裡，她令人難以置信的精神感動了許多人的生命，」家人寫道。 「我們想對我們從澳洲各地收到的壓倒性的支持、愛和祈禱表示最深切的感謝。」 國務院在一封電郵聲明中向美聯社證實，一名美國遊客也已死亡，但表示出於對家人的尊重，不再發表任何評論。 它表示地方當局正在調查，美國正在提供領事協助。 「我們向家屬致以最誠摯的慰問，」國務院說。 寮國衛生部的電話號碼均無法接通，警方拒絕置評。 內陸國家寮國是東南亞最貧窮的國家之一，也是一個受歡迎的旅遊目的地。旺陽尤其受到尋求派對和冒險運動的背包客歡迎。 關於酒精中毒的細節，是在兩名澳洲女子於11月13日晚上在這個偏遠小鎮與一群人一起飲酒後生病大約一周後才開始傳出的。 據信她們飲用了摻有甲醇的酒，甲醇有時會在聲名狼藉的酒吧中用作混合飲料中的酒精，可能導致嚴重的中毒或死亡。 泰國當局證實，瓊斯死於「因體內高濃度甲醇引起的腦腫脹」。 「在世界許多地方，酒類摻假和甲醇中毒太常見了，」澳洲外交部長黃英賢在收到瓊斯死訊後說。 「在此時，我要對家長和年輕人說，請就風險進行溝通，請自覺了解情況，讓我們一起努力，確保這場悲劇不再發生。」 紐西蘭外交部周四表示，該國一名公民也在寮國身體不適，可能是甲醇中毒的受害者。丹麥外交部在被問及中毒事件時，周三表示，該國兩名公民在寮國死亡，但沒有提供更多細節。 「我們已更新對寮國的旅遊建議，說明在飲用酒精飲料後，發生了幾起疑似甲醇中毒的案例，」紐西蘭外交部說。 「建議旅客謹慎飲用酒精飲料，尤其是雞尾酒和可能摻有有害物質的烈酒製成的飲料。」 美國沒有立即發布更新的旅遊建議。 週二，兩名澳洲女子在旺陽Nana Backpacker Hostel住宿，該旅館經理杜昂·杜克·托安告訴美聯社，工作人員被其他客人告知，這兩名女子在11月13日未按計劃退房後身體不適，他們安排了交通工具將她們送往醫院。 然後，這兩名女子被送往泰國接受緊急醫療救治，她們的父母也飛來陪伴她們。 「所有澳洲人都向她們在這個悲痛時刻表示最深切的慰問，」艾班尼斯說。 「碧安卡的旅行本該是一段快樂時光，並成為未來幾年美好的回憶，」他說。「這件事實在太令人難過了。」 —Rising自曼谷報道。曼谷的Jutarat Skulpichetrat、澳洲墨爾本的Rod McGuirk和紐西蘭惠靈頓的Charlotte Graham-McLay也參與了這篇報道。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。
佛州男子被捕，被控策劃炸毀紐約證券交易所
(SeaPRwire) - 根據聯邦調查局 (FBI) 的說法，一名佛羅里達男子於週三被捕，並被指控策劃在本週在紐約證券交易所放置炸彈，並使用遙控裝置引爆它，以「重新啟動」美國政府。 來自佛羅里達州珊瑚泉市、30歲的哈倫·阿卜杜勒-馬利克·耶納 (Harun Abdul-Malik Yener) 被指控企圖使用爆炸裝置破壞或摧毀用於州際商業的建築物。 聯邦調查局在 2 月份根據線索開始調查耶納，該線索稱他在儲物櫃中存放「炸彈製造圖紙」。據聯邦調查局說，他們發現了炸彈製造草圖、許多帶有計時器的腕錶、電子電路板以及其他可用於製造爆炸裝置的電子設備。聯邦調查局還表示，自 2017 年以來，他一直在網上搜尋與炸彈製造相關的信息。 耶納還告訴聯邦調查局的臥底探員，他希望在感恩節前一周引爆炸彈，而曼哈頓下城的證券交易所將是一個受歡迎的目標地點。 根據法庭文件，他告訴聯邦調查局的臥底探員：「證券交易所，我們想打擊它，因為這會喚醒人們。」 根據法庭文件，耶納被描述為「無家可歸」，他想要炸掉證券交易所以「重新啟動」美國政府，並解釋說這將「就像小型核彈爆炸」，殺死大樓裡的所有人。 根據法庭文件，在過去一個月裡，他重新佈線了對講機，以便它們可以用作爆炸裝置的遙控觸發器，並計劃在放置爆炸物時戴上偽裝。 耶納於週三下午出庭，他在等待審判期間將被拘留。 根據法庭文件，他知道在 YouTube 頻道上發佈關於用家用物品製作爆炸物和煙火的視頻，並且有威脅的歷史。去年，他在佛羅里達州椰子溪的一家餐廳被解僱，因為他的前主管說他威脅要「在這個地方變成帕克蘭槍手」。 根據法庭文件，他還是一個小型團體的成員，該團體試圖加入極右翼的反政府組織「布加盧男孩」(Boogaloo Bois) 和極端主義組織「驕傲男孩」(Proud Boys)，但由於他說他想「追求殉道」，而被拒絕入會。 該消息最初由 CourtWatch 網站報道。 打給公共記錄中列出的哈倫·阿卜杜勒-馬利克·耶納 (Harun Abdul-Malik Yener) 電話號碼的電話無人接聽，法庭記錄中也沒有列出律師。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。
美方控告印度億萬富翁高塔姆·阿達尼欺詐投資者
(SeaPRwire) - 紐約——一名印度商人，也是世界上最富有的人之一，因被控隱瞞其公司在次大陸的巨型太陽能項目是通過涉嫌賄賂計劃促成的而欺騙投資者，目前已在美国被起訴。 62歲的Gautam Adani被控犯有證券欺詐罪和共謀犯下證券和電匯欺詐罪。此案涉及Adani Green Energy Ltd.和另一家公司向印度政府出售12吉瓦太陽能電力的一項有利可圖的安排——足以照亮數百萬個家庭和企業。 起訴書描繪了Adani及其共同被告在交易中扮演雙重角色。 起訴書指控他們向華爾街投資者描繪這項交易一片光明且光明正大，這些投資者向該項目注入了數十億美元，而同時在印度，他們卻向政府官員支付或計劃支付約2.65億美元的賄賂，以換取價值數十億美元的合同和融資。 代理助理司法部長麗莎·米勒表示，Adani及其共同被告涉嫌「以腐敗和欺詐手段，以美國投資者的利益為代價，獲得和融資大規模的國家能源供應合同」。 在同時進行的民事訴訟中，美國證券交易委員會指控Adani和兩名共同被告違反了美國證券法的反欺詐條款。監管機構正在尋求金錢處罰和其他制裁。 兩起案件均在布魯克林聯邦法院提起。Adani的共同被告包括他的侄子Sagar Adani，他是Adani Green Energy董事會的執行董事，以及Vneet Jaain，他是該公司2020年至2023年的首席執行官，並仍然是其董事會的董事總經理。 線上法院記錄中沒有列出可以代表Adani發言的律師。一封尋求評論的電子郵件已發送給其企業集團阿達尼集團的一個部門。電子郵件也發送給代表其共同被告的律師。Sagar Adani的律師Sean Hecker拒絕置評。其他人則沒有立即回覆。 證券交易委員會執法部門代理主任Sanjay Wadhwa表示，Gautam和Sagar Adani被控通過誤導「不僅Adani Green擁有一個健全的反賄賂合規計劃，而且公司的高級管理層沒有也沒有將會支付或承諾支付賄賂」來誘使投資者購買該公司的債券。 Adani是世界上人口最多的國家的一個權力人物。他在20世紀90年代在煤炭業務中積累了財富。阿達尼集團的業務已擴展到印度生活的許多方面，從製造國防設備到修建道路，再到銷售食用油。 近年來，Adani大力發展可再生能源，並秉承可持續發展的理念，其口號是：「與善同行」。 去年，一家美國金融研究公司指控Adani及其公司「公然操縱股價」和「會計欺詐」。阿達尼集團稱這些說法是「惡意結合了選擇性錯誤信息和陳舊、毫無根據和不可信的指控」。 這家公司被稱為做空者，這是華爾街對基本上押注某些股票價格下跌的交易員的一個術語，它對阿達尼集團進行了此類投資。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。

每個人都需要一場《破-地獄》- 當我們談論死亡時我們在談論什麼？
香港, 2024年11月20日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近日，由香港兩代喜劇泰斗許冠文與黃子華攜手新晉入圍「金像獎」最佳女主角的衛詩雅等主演的電影《破•地獄》上映首周末就刷新了香港電影九項紀錄，一度躍升香港電影「現象級作品」，熱度之高甚至吸引大批內地觀眾專程南下觀影。儘管《破•地獄》暫未引進內地，但其在豆瓣上已收穫超1600條影評，評分高達8.8分。《破•地獄》究竟是一部什麼樣的電影，在香港上映即爆火的同時，還能吸引內地觀眾專程赴港觀看?聚焦殯葬業的港版《入殮師》?《破•地獄》聚焦香港獨特的殯葬儀式，由一老一新兩位殯葬從業人員對殯葬服務創新與傳統理念的衝突為切入點，深入探討生死議題。談到殯葬題材電影，大家難免想到斬獲第81屆奧斯卡最佳外語片獎的日本電影《入殮師》。影片講述因失業而機緣巧合成為入殮師的小林大悟，在跟隨老師傅學習工作的過程中，逐步理解並熱愛上這份工作，同時藉由人物在工作中遇到的生死離別，乃至自身面對父親死後的自我和解，實現人生升華的過程。《破•地獄》亦有相似之處，黃子華飾演的主角魏道生原是婚禮策劃師，但由於經濟環境的變化，無奈改行成為殯儀經紀人。該影片摒棄了傳統的一老帶一新的敘事模式來展現小眾職業，而是緊密圍繞「破地獄」這一主題，深刻演繹了關於死亡與希望的內涵。深諳於滿足客戶需求的道生(黃子華飾)入行後，頻頻與代表傳統的喃嘸師傅文哥(許冠文飾)因理念不合而產生諸多衝突。文哥作為從事道教法事的神職人員，對葬禮有着嚴苛的傳統堅持，而道生則帶着婚禮策劃的思維模式，不囿於傳統習俗。兩種迥異的理念在一次次葬禮籌備過程中不斷碰撞，但在一段段戲劇衝突後，最終實現互相理解和彼此尊重的結局。所謂「破地獄」，是道教的一種喪禮科儀法式。此處的「破」並非破壞，而是指開啟九幽地獄之門，讓亡者重新獲得光明，擺脫苦海之苦。具體而言，火盆和九塊瓦片擺放在靈堂正中央，喃嘸師傅先燒鬼頭及破五方陣，並透過穿步和破瓦等一系列動作，運用道法打開地獄之間的通道，照亮幽獄，引領先人從地獄中解脫。影片藉由「破地獄」儀式——這一香港非物質文化遺產切入，從文哥道教法事形而下的「破地獄」，引申到道生所說的「不止死人要超渡，生人也需要破地獄，生人都有好多地獄。」這一形而上內涵，道出了殯葬行業服務生者的本質，也擊中了觀眾反思生死、珍惜人生，以及重新看待生活的情感需求。現實中的殯葬行業有那麼理想化嗎?電影能夠大獲成功，除了紮實的劇本、演員演技的加持，最重要的是能夠接地氣地去觸達受眾。這一點，可以說是《破•地獄》成功的關鍵。無論是紮根香港傳統文化的「破地獄」儀式，還是幾場白事過程中表現出的現代人對殯儀的新需求，都可以稱得上緊扣社會脈動。比如片中一位不願相信摯親兒子離世的母親，欲將遺體真空防腐保存，寄望未來科技可以令兒子復活。這不禁讓人想到今年年初登上熱搜的著名音樂人包小柏用AI「復活」女兒的新聞，一度引發大眾對於科技與倫理、逝者與生者間關係的討論。有意思的是，這樣一個看似戲劇化的橋段，經導演透露卻是真人真事改編。在另一場白事上，蘇蘇由於沒有正式身份，被拒絕參加所愛之人最後的葬禮儀式。察覺到兩人關係的道生，偷偷贈其一條藏有死者骨灰的項鍊，最終實現生者的「破地獄」。而在現實生活中，骨灰製成晶石珠寶產品的技術早已問世多年，並已實現產業化發展。可以說，道生與文哥的碰撞恰恰也是傳統殯葬行業所經歷的創新與傳統碰撞的縮影，正是在整個行業不斷重視生者的精神需求的背景下，大眾才有了越來越多個性化的選擇，讓每個人在面臨生離死別之時，都能夠實現「破地獄」的和解過程。以港股上市的中國最大殯葬服務提供商福壽園(01448)為例，在三十年的發展過程中，從最初探索期的全國擴張，慢慢探索公益項目的踐行，再到品牌藉由人文紀念館的建成進入文化領域，傳播生命文化，傳承紅色記憶，升華人生觀和企業核心價值。作為行業領軍者，福壽園從未將殯葬服務定位為死者的生意，而是開放接受社會觀念的變革，聚焦生者的需求，擁抱新觀念、新技術，甚至主動向社會、向行業、向大眾輸出生命教育的理念，才實現了當下牢牢穩固行業第一把交椅的地位。據悉，福壽園的公益事業自1994年從上海出發，內容涵蓋慈善救助、精神救援、安寧療護、優撫助學、生命教育、環境保護等多個領域，歷經30年，輻射40餘座城市。針對生命教育這一門頗具挑戰性的「課程」，福壽園積極組織探索，為了走近年輕群體，近年還開發了生命桌遊等項目，引發普遍好評。基於全方位的配套服務支持，福壽園進一步推出生前契約這一戰略支點業務，成為國內最早普及生前契約的企業之一。以往中國社會對死亡總是諱莫如深、充滿禁忌，但隨着人口老齡化，越來越多的人希望儘早安排好自己的身後事。面對這樣的新需求，福壽園積極探索生前契約業務模式，為民眾提供生命規劃建議和善終管理方案，為機構、政府提供長者服務解決方案。僅2024年上半年，福壽園累計簽訂的生前契約就高達11,923份，同比增長28.6%。不斷推出滿足生者需求的業務不僅為福壽園帶來了更多業績上的回饋，更重要的是，也為生者和死者開闢出了一條從執念地獄解脫的「破地獄」之道。此外，福壽園積極擁抱前沿科技，電影中提到的骨灰晶石產品也早已被福壽園帶到國內。2021年，上海福壽園建成超微佔地園區"藏晶苑"專門用於存放"生命晶石"。42平方米的地下室內葬，可安放8400個"生命晶石"，每塊晶石平均佔地僅0.005平方米。地上廣場建有記載生命影像的互動電子屏，形成生者與逝者共享的景觀空間和紀念場所。今年4月，福壽園再次宣佈運用科技革新行業，以「數智人虛擬發佈」形式舉辦2024清明發佈會。通過數字形象發言人Jason介紹了福壽園3JI生命服務理念——「記號做美，記載做厚，紀念做長」，並從產品、科技、公益、文化等方面，發佈了生命美學產品、天堂小區計劃、數字家祠、虛擬數智人以及「生前契約 • 安善計劃」、生命智庫等系列行動及計劃。在VR技術、AI技術、數字人技術等一系列尖端科技的加持下，電影中陷入逝子之痛的母親的天馬行空想法未來或將成為現實，至親或將以數位永生的形式陪伴在生者身邊，死者的地獄與生者的地獄也有望在科技這一道法下，重獲光明脫離苦海。儘管在創新領域走在行業前沿，但福壽園同樣尊重文哥這樣的傳統支持者。在全國擴張的過程中，福壽園充分尊重各地傳統殯儀習俗，通過配套基礎服務實現了各地「接地氣」的服務，滿足生者的本地化需求。打開福壽園的首頁，首先映入眼帘的是八個大字——「感知生命 綻放人生」。正如《破•地獄》的拍攝地香港紅磡，多因其作為香港重要的交通樞紐(火車站)及最著名的演唱會聖地(紅館)而被人熟知。但很少人知道紅磡亦是香港最大的殯儀區，匯聚了大量殯葬相關的店鋪，形成獨特的香港殯葬文化。也許每一天經過紅磡的旅人，都早已對殯葬區見怪不怪、視而不見，但《破•地獄》恰恰告訴我們，只有正視死亡，方能重新認知生之意義，就像道生因文哥之死改變了不婚不育的堅持，接受了女友肚中新生命的現實。如果說死亡是每個人的終點站，那真正重要的恰恰是我們所選擇的旅程，以及陪伴我們每一段旅程的每一個人。正如《破•地獄》中的台詞，「有機會來到這個世界已經賺了，何必介懷什麼時候下車，不如好好欣賞沿途的風景。」而這也許便是這部電影想要傳遞給我們最重要的感悟。本文來源於「今日熱點網」 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Start of Demonstration Test of Two-Phase Direct-to-Chip Cooling in the Air-Cooled Data Center
TOKYO, Nov 20, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), and NEC Networks & System Integration Corporation (NESIC), will begin demonstration testing in December to increase the cooling capacity of data centers without major modifications to existing facilities by introducing high-performance servers equipped with two-phase direct-to-chip cooling(1) systems to data centers currently in operation. The demonstration test is being conducted in response to the adoption of a proposal to introduce systems using MHI's two-phase direct-to-chip cooling to the data center, for a project from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Bureau of Industrial and Labor Affairs to support the early practical application of technologies to advance the establishment of GX-related industries. This demonstration aims to achieve energy savings in server power consumption and reducing CO2 emissions by utilizing existing data center facilities.1. BackgroundWith the spread of generative AI and other technologies, the use of high-performance processors such as GPUs is increasing, necessitating the reinforcement of equipment due to the large power consumption and high heat output. To accommodate high-performance servers equipped with these processors, newly built data centers can adopt the latest cooling solutions. On the other hand, replacing existing equipment is challenging, and increased capital investment was an issue. Accordingly, there is a need for solutions that can reduce capital investment by effectively utilizing the facilities in existing data centers, reduce power consumption, and meet the cooling requirements of high heat generating servers.2. Outline of the Demonstration TestThis demonstration will implement the cooling of high-performance servers using two-phase direct chip cooling provided by MHI in an operational air-cooled data center located in Tokyo, operated by NTT Com. In two-phase direct-to-chip cooling, an insulating refrigerant other than water is circulated in a two-phase (liquid/gas) manner to a cold plate on the processor inside the server for cooling. Since water is not used, there is no concern of malfunction even if the refrigerant leaks inside the server. In addition, the heat from the processor is efficiently dissipated, and the autonomous control of refrigerant circulation enhances power efficiency by using the two-phase cooling. NESIC will work with MHI to build the IT equipment and demonstrate the server operation. The test will demonstrate that the application of two-phase direct-to-chip cooling systems in conventional air-cooled data centers will enable the introduction of high-performance servers in currently operating data centers without major modifications to existing facilities.3. Roles of each companyMHI: Project management, supply of two-phase direct-to-chip cooling system, and demonstration testingNTT Com: Supply of data center servicesNESIC: Server procurement, IT load and operation testing4. Future ProspectsMHI Group will provide a one-stop data center utility solution for highly reliable and high efficiency power supply units, cooling systems, monitoring systems, and integrated control systems to meet the expected growth in AI data centers market. By using Green ICT, MHI Group aims to contribute to the realization of a carbon neutral world and the conservation of the global environment.NTT Com, to realize a sustainable world, is advancing the adoption of solutions that utilize two-phase direct-to-chip cooling, as well as IOWN APN(2), and Green Nexcenter®, a colocation service that supports liquid-cooled server devices.

Rozebalamin for Injection 25mg (Mecobalamin) for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Launched in Japan
TOKYO, Nov 20, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) treatment “Rozebalamin® for Injection25 mg” (mecobalamin) has been launched in Japan as a treatment for slowing progression of functionalimpairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The product received manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan on September 24, 2024, and was published in Japan’s National Health Insurance Drug Price List today.This approval is based on the results of JETALS (The Japan Early-Stage Trial of Ultrahigh-Dose Methylcobalamin for ALS),multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized Phase III clinical trial in 130 patients with ALS, that was conducted as an investigator-initiated trial by a research team with Extraordinary Professor Ryuji Kaji (Principal Investigator), Tokushima University, and Professor Yuishin Izumi (Coordinating Investigator), the Department of Neurology,Tokushima University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and Professor Satoshi Kuwabara (Coordinating Investigator), the Department of Neurology, Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine.1ALS is an intractable, progressive, neurodegenerative disease that results in severe muscle atrophy and weakness in the muscles due to motor neuron dysfunction. As the main cause of death is respiratory failure due to paralysis of the respiratory muscles, without the use of an artificial respirator, death occurs within approximately 2 to 5 years from the onset of the disease.2 The number of patients in Japan is estimated to be approximately10,000.2 Currently, there is no curative treatment established for ALS, and since there are only limited number of medicines approved in Japan and abroad, this is a disease with significant unmet medical needs.Eisai considers neurology a therapeutic area of focus. As a human healthcare company, Eisai is committed to further addressing the diverse needs of, and increasing the benefits of, patients and their families by providing Rozebalamin as a new treatment option for ALS patients.Product OutlineProduct name: Rozebalamin® for Injection 25 mg Generic name: MecobalaminIndication for use: Slowing progression of functional impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosisDosage and administration: The usual dose of mecobalamin in adults is 50 mg a day, twice a week, injected intramuscularly.National Health Insurance (NHI) Drug Price: Rozebalamin® for Injection 25 mg 1 vial 10,425 JPY Packaging: Rozebalamin® for Injection 25 mg 8 vialsAbout Rozebalamin (generic name: mecobalamin, development code: E0302)Mecobalamin is approved and marketed as Methycobal®, a 500 µg injection of mecobalamin indicated for the treatmentof peripheral neuropathies and megaloblastic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. Methycobal is also approved as a tablet formulation (250 µg and 500 µg) as well as a fine granule formulation (0.1%) indicated for the treatment of peripheral neuropathies. While the mechanism of action of mecobalamin against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is not known, it has been suggested in non-clinical research that mecobalamin may have efficacy through a neuroprotective effect and regeneration of nerve axons. Since the 1990s, clinical research has been carried out by a study group on the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, suggested that ultrahigh-dose mecobalamin, which is respectively 50 and 100 times the approved dosage of Methycobal, could have a clinical effect in ALS, and Eisai then conducted the Phase II/III clinical trial (Study 761) from 2006. Eisai submitted a new drug application in May 2015 but the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) indicated that additional clinical trials were necessary.After obtaining favorable results in the investigator-initiated Phase III trial JETALS, and following consultation withTokushima University, Eisai submitted a new drug application for the treatment of ALS in Japan in January 2024, leading to its approval in September, 2024 and leading to the launch today. In May 2022, Rozebalamin received orphan drug designation from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.About Japan Early-stage Trial of Ultrahigh-Dose Methylcobalamin for ALS (JETALS)The Japan Early-stage Trial of Ultrahigh-Dose Methylcobalamin for ALS (JETALS) is an investigator-initiated study conducted as a multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized Phase III clinical trial to verify the efficacy and safety of high-dose methylcobalamin (mecobalamin) in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).1Mecobalamin 50 mg or placebo was administered intramuscularly twice weekly for 16 weeks to 130 ALS patients who had suffered from ALS for less than one year, were classified as “definite”, “probable”, or “probable- laboratory supported” according to the Updated Awaji Criteria, had an ALS severity rating of grade 1 or 2, had a decrease of 1 or 2 points inthe total score on the Revised ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) 12 weeks prior to administration, and had a forced vital capacity (%FVC) of more than 60%.3The primary endpoint was the change in ALSFRS-R total score from the end of the observation period to week 16 of the treatment period. The change was -2.7 [95% confidence interval (CI): -3.9, -1.5] in the mecobalamin50 mg group and -4.6 [95% CI: -5.8, -3.4] in the placebo group, with a difference in change of 2.0 (95% CI: 0.4, 3.5; p=0.012), verifying the superiority of mecobalamin 50 mg over placebo.3 The adverse drug reaction incidence rate was 1.6% (1/64 cases) in the placebo group and 7.7% (5/65 cases) in the mecobalamin 50 mg group. Adverse drugreactions observed in the mecobalamin 50 mg group were constipation, injection site pain, fever, electrocardiogram QT prolongation, and rash, occurring in 1.5% (1/65 cases) each.3(1) Oki R, et al.

COP29峰會上演氣候地緣政治新時代
(SeaPRwire) - 聯合國年度氣候變化峰會總是有些瘋狂：來自全球各地的數萬名代表聚集在遙遠的城市，進行為期兩週關於全球氣候政策未來的激烈討論。 今年的會議——即COP29——更是超現實。在各國設立展館的區域，您可以從設有豪華沙發和真人大小俄羅斯娃娃，代表們在那裡啜飲茶水的俄羅斯展館，步行五分鐘便到達裝飾著被俄羅斯武器摧毀的太陽能電池板的烏克蘭展館。在大部分的COP會議上，與會者都密切關注著著名的國家元首甚至名人；但在巴庫，代表們則在尋找塔利班成員。在會議第一週的中期，阿根廷代表團在該國右翼總統的指示下返回國內；法國環境部長由於與主辦國的爭端而決定跳過整個活動。而整個活動的開始，則是阿塞拜疆總統將化石燃料描述為「上帝的禮物」。 但沒有什麼比其時機更能讓這次會議顯得超現實。在美國大選幾天後開幕，此次峰會為每一次談話都提供了背景。幾十年來，美國在塑造談判、促成關鍵協議以及最近說服各方相信世界最大經濟體正在脫碳方面發揮著關鍵作用。在會議開始的幾個小時內，美國總統喬·拜登的氣候特使約翰·波德斯塔給出了一個直率的評估，聽起來幾乎像是在道歉。「很明顯，下屆政府將試圖徹底改變方向，抹去許多進展，」他說。「當然，我敏銳地意識到美國有時造成的失望。」（他接著說明，美國將繼續在城市和州一級努力應對氣候問題）。 隨著今年重點關注如何為氣候轉型提供資金的談判進入第二週，我們無法知道它們將會走向何方。組織者可能會達成一項協商一致的協議，就像往常一樣，也可能在國際政治壓力的影響下崩潰。長期參加COP會議的與會者表示，這些談判有時感覺比最近記憶中的任何一次都更接近破裂。 從某種程度上來說，這一氣候時刻非常危險。我們已經感受到了極端天氣的影響，這正在導致全球各地社區的生命損失。顯然，在應對這一問題的多邊努力停滯不前無助於解決問題。但巴庫也有一些令人放心的理由。脫碳已從在雄心勃勃卻無效的承諾中闡述的理論問題，轉變為正在經濟中發生的現象——從適應可持續性要求的小型企業到一些世界上最具影響力的公司數十億美元的投資。 的確，巴庫的問題不在於國際氣候行動是否會繼續，而在於如何繼續。 首先，在我走出巴庫機場後，最讓我印象深刻的是，與我七年前上次來這裡相比，街上的車輛變化之大。當時，白色的蘇聯時代拉達車似乎主導著道路。而這次，老式汽車卻寥寥無幾。相反，我注意到中國電動汽車的普及。幾乎每次我叫車，出現的都是電動汽車。 巴庫的電動汽車從一開始就提供了一個小小的提醒，即能源轉型已經在迅速改變世界——不僅僅是在主要經濟體中。2016年，當特朗普首次當選時，聚集在當年聯合國氣候變化大會上的代表們想知道——以及它旨在促進的脫碳努力——是否能夠生存下來。2024年，這不再是一個問題。 在一定程度上，這種信心部分來自特朗普第一任期的一些證據。許多企業實際上加快了它們對氣候行動的承諾，儘管特朗普上任了。城市和州表示，它們將加強其脫碳政策制定。在巴庫，一些同樣的團體做出了類似的承諾。華盛頓州州長傑伊·因斯利，援引州一級的行動，直截了當地告訴我：「唐納德·特朗普將成為邁向清潔能源經濟進程中的障礙。」 但或許更重要的是，在過去八年中開始的大規模投資。巴庫的電動汽車只是一個例子。在全球範圍內，許多世界上最大的公司已經投入數十億美元，以促進清潔技術基礎設施的建設。這些投資的成本太高，無法撤銷，其勢頭也強大到無法阻止。「任何國家都無法阻止進步，」加拿大前環境部長凱瑟琳·麥肯納說。「我上次（特朗普當選時）就說過這話，但現在情況更為如此，因為現在這已經融入到現實經濟中了。」 但對於代表們來說，更大的問題是如何在世界各地推進正在進行的轉型——更不用說極端天氣的影響了。哪些國家將贏得勝利，哪些國家將失敗？最弱勢群體將如何應對？轉型速度是否夠快——尤其是在發展中國家——以避免一些最嚴重的氣候變化影響？ 的確，這些問題導致COP29上爆發了爭吵，爭論的議題從氣候規則如何在貿易關係中發揮作用，到不同國家應該支付多少資金來幫助其他國家，再到石油和天然氣在轉型中的作用，不一而足。隨著緊張局勢升高，在今年第一週的中期，國際氣候界一些最傑出的聲音——包括前聯合國氣候主管和氣候科學家——發表了一封公開信，呼籲徹底改革這一進程。主辦國應面臨更嚴格的甄選標準，以確保它們致力於逐步淘汰化石燃料，並且應簡化流程，以便更快地做出決策。 這封信中沒有說明大選後的時間安排，但這並非巧合。無論特朗普是否兌現其讓美國第二次退出《巴黎協定》的承諾，氣候界都將面臨巨大的真空。許多談判代表很快指出，美國的國際氣候立場從未真正體現出真正的氣候領導力。即使在拜登和前總統巴拉克·奧巴馬等支持總統的領導下，美國也考慮到美國政治的情況來制定協議，即使這會削弱協議，並且難以提供其他國家要求的資金。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。
維多利亞·伍德豪爾的總統競選能教會我們什麼關於今日美國的道理 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 1870年4月2日，也就是1872年美國總統大選的前兩年，《紐約先驅報》刊登了一封致編輯的信，宣佈了一場針對時任總統尤利西斯·S·格蘭特的總統競選。這封信的簽名是維多利亞·伍德豪爾。 伍德豪爾出生在俄亥俄州邊境的一個貧困定居點，她體現了美國的精神，一個充滿激進個人主義、勇於嘗試的國家。儘管童年生活貧困，並飽受體罰父母的折磨，但她仍在1870年與人共同創立了一家成功的華爾街經紀公司，在紐約證券交易所賺了一大筆錢，之後她用這些錢創辦了一份報紙。該報的進步主義撰稿人撰寫了大量文章，提出了幾十年後才獲得認可的改革方案，例如廢除死刑和為窮人提供福利。但伍德豪爾生活中眾多不可思議的事情中最不可思議的是：她是一位女性。 身處一個以各種可想而知的途徑壓迫她性别的體制中，伍德豪爾憑藉新穎性、事業心、勇氣和決心，創造了自己的成功，成就了一個從草根到富豪的傳奇故事，而這個故事主要與男性交織在一起，其中包括卡爾·馬克思、沃爾特·惠特曼、亨利·沃德·比徹、康尼利厄斯·范德比爾特、弗雷德里克·道格拉斯和威爾斯親王。在當時，人們認為政治抱負只是男性的特權，她克服了幾乎總是壓垮女性的限制。憑藉務實、想像力和精湛的策略，她促成了一次史無前例的國會委員會會議，直接向他們呼籲婦女投票權。她組建了一個第三黨，其聯盟包括勞工、廢奴主義者、靈媒和婦女參政論者，其議程建議徹底改革美國政府，包括一屆總統任期、八小時工作日、全國公共教育和建立國際法庭來解決國際爭端。 婦女不被允許擔任公職或投票，這並沒有成為伍德豪爾總統競選的障礙。「我預料到會受到批評，」她說道，然後補充道，「但他們無法阻止改革的浪潮。世界在前進。」 世界前進的速度比人們希望的要慢：婦女獲得投票權又過了48年。 在那之後的104年，一個問題依然存在：假設一位女性從根本上具有領導能力，那麼美國需要做些什麼才能選舉出一位女總統呢？ 卡瑪拉·哈里斯未能贏得總統大選，不同的人給出了不同的解釋。一些人說這與時間有關：如果拜登總統早些退出，競選中可能會有其他候選人；至少，哈里斯將有更多時間向選民闡述她的主張。儘管川普的種族主義言論引起許多人的共鳴，但哈里斯的失敗不能簡單地歸結為她的膚色，儘管這無疑在選民的決定中扮演了重要角色。這不僅僅是關於階級、經濟或確保邊境安全和非法移民的問題。更重要的是，這部分取決於美國男性和女性如何透過其性別經驗看待這件事。 人們可能會問，民主黨的失敗有多少與忽視男女雙方認為應該由哪個性別掌握權力有關？通常，被認為是領導能力的刻板印象中的男性特徵往往比可以被認為是女性特徵的妥協更受重視。因為女性的雄心壯志被認為是不好的，維多利亞·伍德豪爾堅稱，她不過是一個容器，超凡的靈感正透過她為更大的利益而行動。當她宣佈競選總統的意圖時，這種策略幾乎沒有任何作用：她不僅冒犯了男性，也冒犯了女性，其中包括婦女參政運動中的一些人。同樣，120年後，在比爾·柯林頓擔任總統期間，希拉蕊·柯林頓暗示她的抱負超越了第一夫人的傳統角色，公眾的反應非常強烈，以至於她被迫與她的共和黨對手芭芭拉·布希進行了一場公關活動。女性是否對女性的標準高於男性尚有爭議，但儘管如此——或者也許正是因為——努力將希拉蕊·柯林頓重新定位為一個不具威脅性的候選人，她仍然輸給了唐納德·川普。她聰明能幹。她也讓一些女性選民感到惱火，許多女性選民對蓄意無知且道德敗壞的唐納德·川普給予了豁免。 男性和女性如何看待擔任領導職位和擁有政治權力的女性，遠非一目了然。哈里斯正確地認識到，玻璃天花板策略並不一定能贏得支持者。她和她的政黨不斷提醒他們，川普是一個被定罪的罪犯，一個被判有罪的強姦犯，充其量是一個厭惡女性的人，他自豪地任命了三位最高法院法官，這些法官幫助推翻了羅訴韋德案，終止了憲法賦予的墮胎權。然而，儘管許多人確實投票推翻他們州的墮胎禁令，但他們並不一定會投票給哈里斯，她的表現比其他女性民主黨人或有色人種更差。 那些倒戈支持共和黨的女性是否認為哈里斯不是領導國家的合適人選——或者女性普遍無法滿足擔任總統的要求？ 男性呢？對19世紀的美國男性來說，維多利亞·伍德豪爾代表著一種新型的女性氣質，這意味著某種類型的男性氣質的消亡。由此引發的反彈導致媒體試圖抹黑她，並導致她被錯誤地判處監禁。川普的策略是讓男性——尤其是年輕男性——相信某種類型的女性只是因為他們是男性而懲罰他們，這並非沒有先例。他再次進入白宮，很大程度上要歸功於54%的男性選民的支持。 哈里斯徹底而迅速的失敗的原因將在對其原因的拆解結束時得到解決，讓位於一個新的開端的構建。維多利亞·伍德豪爾知道，她實際上不可能成為總統。她的競選只有一個目的：讓美國人思考女性是否能夠領導一個國家。自伍德豪爾1927年去世以來，從西方民主國家到軍事獨裁國家，約有85個國家肯定地回答了這個問題，選擇女性作為他們的領導者。然而，對美國來說，伍德豪爾的挑戰仍然沒有得到解答。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。
普丁簽署新核武教條，降低核武使用門檻，警告美國
(SeaPRwire) - 俄羅斯總統普京週二簽署了一項新文件，聲明任何國家在核大國支持下對俄羅斯發動常規攻擊，都將被視為對俄羅斯的聯合攻擊。 普京批准這項新的核威懾政策，正值他於2022年2月24日向烏克蘭派遣軍隊之後。 這項政策緊隨美國允許烏克蘭使用美國提供的射程更遠的導彈打擊俄羅斯境內目標之後。 這項聲明任何對俄羅斯的大規模空中襲擊都可能引發核反擊的法令的簽署，表明普京準備動用該國的核武庫，迫使西方退讓，因為莫斯科在烏克蘭發動緩慢的攻勢。 當被問及這項更新的法令是否故意在拜登做出決定後發布時，克里姆林宮發言人佩斯科夫表示，該文件是「及時」發布的，普京今年早些時候指示政府更新該文件，使其「符合當前形勢」。 普京在9月主持一次討論擬議修訂的會議時，首次宣布了對該法令的修改。 俄羅斯總統此前曾警告美國和其他北約盟國，允許烏克蘭使用西方提供的射程更遠的武器打擊俄羅斯境內目標，意味著俄羅斯和北約處於戰爭狀態。 更新後的法令指出，非核國家在「核大國參與或支持下」對俄羅斯發動的攻擊將被視為「對俄羅斯聯邦的聯合攻擊」。 它補充說，俄羅斯可能會對核打擊或構成對俄羅斯及其盟友白俄羅斯「主權和領土完整」的「重大威脅」的常規攻擊使用核武器，這是一個含糊不清的表述，留下了廣泛的解釋空間。 它沒有具體說明這種攻擊是否必然會引發核反擊。它將「可能使用核威懾的規模、時間和地點的不確定性」列為核威懾的關鍵原則。 該文件還指出，軍事集團或聯盟成員國對俄羅斯的侵略被視為「整個集團的侵略」，這明顯是指北約。 同時，與法令的先前版本相比，它更詳細地闡述了使用核武器的條件，指出如果發生涉及彈道導彈、巡航導彈、飛機、無人機和其他飛行器的猛烈空襲，可以使用核武器。 與該文件的先前版本（聲稱如果遭到彈道導彈襲擊，俄羅斯可以使用其原子武庫）相比，這一廣泛的表述似乎顯著擴大了可能使用核武器的誘因。 白俄羅斯總統亞歷山大·盧卡申科鐵腕統治白俄羅斯30多年，依靠俄羅斯的補貼和支持，允許俄羅斯使用他國的領土向烏克蘭派遣軍隊，並部署其一些戰術核武器。 自普京向烏克蘭派遣軍隊以來，他和其他俄羅斯人士經常以俄羅斯的核武庫威脅西方，以阻止西方加強對基輔的支持。 俄羅斯的鷹派人士幾個月來一直在呼籲加強這項法令，認為之前的版本未能阻止西方增加對烏克蘭的援助，並造成莫斯科不會訴諸核武器的印象。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。

Anticancer Agent “TASFYGO Tablets 35mg” (Tasurgratinib Succinate) Launches in Japan for Biliary Tract Cancer with FGFR2 Gene Fusion or Rearrangements
TOKYO, Nov 20, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that it has launched fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor “TASFYGO® Tablets 35mg” (generic name: tasurgratinib succinate) in Japan for the treatment of patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements that progressed after cancer chemotherapy. The product received manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan on September 24, 2024, and was published in Japan’s National Health Insurance Drug Price List today.Discovered in-house by Eisai’s Tsukuba Research Laboratories, TASFYGO is an orally available novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor that demonstrates selective inhibitory activity against FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3.The approval of TASFYGO in Japan is based on data such as the results of a multicenter, open-label, single- arm clinical phase II trial (Study 201) conducted by Eisai in Japan and China.1 A companion diagnostic test to detect FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements for the use of TASFYGO in biliary tract cancer, “AmoyDx® FGFR2 Break-apart FISH Probe Kit” by Nihon Stery, Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo) was approved in August 2024.(2)The estimated number of patients in Japan with biliary tract cancer is approximately 22,000,(3),(4) with approximately 25% of the five-year relative survival rate,(3) making it an intractable cancer with the second worst prognosis following pancreatic cancer. Since drug therapy options are limited in comparison with other cancers, it is a disease with significant unmet medical needs. FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements are observed in approximately 5-14% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, which accounts for 15-30% of biliary tract cancers.(5),(6),(7) FGFR genetic aberrations such as the gene fusions are known to be deeply involved in the proliferation, survival and migration of cancer cells as well as tumor angiogenesis and drug resistance. As these genetic aberrations in FGFRs have been observed in various other types of cancers as well as biliary tract cancer, there is growing interest in FGFRs as a promising target for cancer therapy.TASFYGO is produced at the Kawashima Industrial Park (Gifu Prefecture), using innovative Continuous Manufacturing and Real Time Release Testing, a manufacturing technology that ensures product quality within production processes. Continuous Manufacturing is a production method in which processing is carried out continuously from raw material input to formulation. By incorporating real-time quality monitoring technology, multiple manufacturing processes are integrated, enabling automatic production. This method allows for higher quality control compared to conventional processes that focus on product release testing, by utilizing data within the manufacturing process and reducing human-error through automation.Eisai aims to make continuous efforts to meet the diversified needs of and increase the benefits provided to patients with cancer, their families, and healthcare professionals, by delivering TASFYGO as a new treatment option for biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements.Product InformationBrand name: TASFYGO® Tablets 35mg Generic name: Tasurgratinib succinateIndications: Unresectable biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements that progressed after cancer chemotherapyDosage and Administration: The usual adult dose of tasurgratinib is 140mg orally once daily under fasting conditions. The dose may be reduced appropriately according to the condition of the patient.National Health Insurance (NHI) Drug Price: TASFYGO Tablets 35 mg: ¥ 15,378.70 (per 1 tablet) Packaging: TASFYGO Tablets 35 mg: 56 tablets (14 tablet PTP sheet X 4)About “TASFYGO® Tablets 35mg” (tasurgratinib succinate, Development Code: E7090)Discovered in-house by Eisai’s Tsukuba Research Laboratories, TASFYGO is an orally available novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor that demonstrates selective inhibitory activity against fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3. Distinct from prior known FGFR inhibitors, TASFYGO has a basic structure which lacks the dimethoxyphenyl moiety, and in a kinetic interaction analysis study, it was observed that TASFYGO demonstrates antitumor activities due to inhibition of kinase activity with a binding mode (Type V) that exhibits rapid and potent binding as well as high selectivity to FGFR.(8),(9)In non-clinical studies for biliary tract cancer, NIH/3T3 cells expressing FGFR2-AHCYL1, FGFR2-KCTD1, FGFR2-BICC1 or FGFR2-TXLNA as FGFR2-fusion genes, provided by the National Cancer Center Japan, were used. The antitumor activity of TASFYGO against FGFR2 gene fusion-positive cancers was confirmed in these models by evaluating its effect on anchorage-independent growth and subcutaneously transplanted tumor growth in mice.(9)A Phase I clinical trial is underway in Japan in patients with estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer.About Real Time Release TestingReal Time Release Testing is a quality control approach that ensures the quality of final products based on data from within the manufacturing process. Applying Real Time Release Testing requires a quality design approach based on Quality by Design (QbD), an advanced development method for manufacturing processes. QbD is a development method that emphasizes process control based on profound understanding of manufacturing processes, rather than conventional quality assurance methods which mainly focus on product release testing.Eisai integrates Process Analytical Technology (PAT) into QbD to achieve a higher level of quality control by managing critical attributes of pharmaceuticals within the production process.(1) Furuse J. et al.
