MHI Thermal Systems Receives “Minister of the Environment Award for Climate Action 2024”
TOKYO, Dec 3, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has received a Minister of the Environment Award for Climate Action 2024 for development of its JHT-Y/JHT-YI series of large-capacity centrifugal chillers adopting the HFO-1234yf refrigerant with a low GWP(1). The award, sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment, was presented in the Technological Development and Commercialization category. An awards ceremony took place in Tokyo on December 2.The Awards CeremonyThe Minister of the Environment for Climate Action Award program was renewed in 2020 to reflect recent trends in climate change measures and succeeded the Environment Minister's Awards for Global Warming Prevention Activity, which had been held since 1998. The awards are given annually to individuals or groups having made noteworthy contributions to climate change mitigation (measures to curb greenhouse gas emissions) and accommodation to climate change (measures to avert or reduce impacts from climate change). This 2024 award is MHI Thermal Systems' third to date: in 2019, the Company received an Environment Minister's Award for its high-efficiency centrifugal chiller ETI-Z series that adopt a low-GWP refrigerant(2); and in 2021, the Company garnered the award for development and promotion of an air-to-water type heat pump using a low-GWP refrigerant(3).The constant-speed JHT-Y and inverter-equipped JHT-YI are new series for large-capacity centrifugal chillers launched in June 2022. Both models in the series adopt the HFO-1234yf refrigerant with extremely low environmental impact (GWP below 1) and the capacities ranging from 300 to 5,400 refrigeration tons (RT)(4). The JHT-Y and JHT-YI are the first centrifugal chillers with capacities up to 5,400 RT commercially offered in Japan with a low-GWP refrigerant. With a newly designed compressor, outstanding efficiency has been achieved: the constant-speed model to achieve a maximum rated COP(5) of 6.4, the inverter-equipped model achieves an IPLV(6) of 8.8 and a maximum part load COP of 24.9. A smaller compressor size, together with the optimized centrifugal chiller structure layout, also contributes to the effective use of the space, enabling smooth installation from existing equipment. The replacement of an existing equipment using a higher-GWP HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerant with the JHT-YI can reduce annual energy consumption and CO2emissions by approximately 65%(7), contributing significantly to mitigating environmental impacts. The JHT-Y and JHT-YI models are also adaptable to a wide range of applications: air-conditioning, heating, as well as low-temperature and heating processes in beverage plants, etc.The HFO-1234yf refrigerant, which is also used in car air-conditioners and vending machines, has a GWP of below 1 and ODP(8) of zero, and is categorized as non-Freon refrigerant according to Japan's Revised Fluorocarbons Recovery and Destruction Law(9). For these reasons, it is not subject to this Law that regulates the Fluorocarbons' emissions into the atmosphere, recovery, and destruction after usage. Concerning an equipment with higher-GWP HFC refrigerant including HFC-134a, which was widely used before the revised legislation took effect, it has been made compulsory to reduce in both their production and usage volumes as it has a significant impact on global warming. In 2025 and onward, it is scheduled that the regulations on the supply of equipment with higher-GWP refrigerants to the market will be tightened further in the Japanese market, therefore, currently the demands for the equipment with low-GWP refrigerants, ex. the JHT-Y/JHT-YI series, are increasing and earlier upgrading is required in the market.MHI Thermal Systems is Japan's leading manufacturer of centrifugal chillers, having delivered numerous units for district cooling/heating, factory air-conditioning, etc. Going forward, the Company will continue to focus on developing high-performance products using low-GWP refrigerants covering - together with the small and medium-capacity ETI-Z series - a capacity span of 150 to 5,400 RT, as its way of contributing to environmental protection on a global scale.(1) GWP: global warming potential. CO2 is assigned a GWP of 1. The lower the GWP factor, the less impact on the environment.(2) For further information, refer to the following press release: https://www.mhi.com/news/191203.html(3) For further information, refer to the following press release: https://www.mhi.com/news/21112502.html(4) Capacity above 2,700 RT requires two compressors (parallel type).(5) COP: coefficient of performance as calculated based on Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). The higher the COP, the higher the level of energy savings.(6) IPLV: integrated part load value, an indicator of the efficiency of an air-conditioner during part load operation. The higher the IPLV, the higher the level of energy savings.(7) Compared with our previous model (20 years ago)(8) ODP: ozone depletion potential, a coefficient expressing the relative amount of degradation to the ozone layer compared to trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11), a refrigerant previously in wide use which has a fixed ODP of 1.0. The lower the ODP, the lower the destructive impact on the ozone layer.(9) This revised law, which took effect on April 1, 2015, stipulates rules for the rational use and proper management of fluorocarbons.JHT-Y/JHT-YI SeriesAbout MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

夏威夷女子在墨西哥被目擊後，不再被認為失蹤
(SeaPRwire) - 洛杉磯——警方週一表示，一名夏威夷女子三週前在洛杉磯著陸後失蹤，後來被人看到獨自攜帶行李越境進入墨西哥，不再被認為是失蹤人口。 警方表示，30 歲的 Hannah Kobayashi 想遠離人群，在 11 月 12 日中午左右走進通往墨西哥的隧道，這一天是她的家人報案說她失蹤的第二天。官員們表示，沒有證據顯示她受到人口販運或成為犯罪的受害者，他們援引週日深夜審查的美國海關和邊境保護局的監控錄像。 洛杉磯警察局局長 Jim McDonnell 表示，Kobayashi 看起來沒有受到傷害，此案現已歸類為「自願失蹤人口」。 他說：「我們基本上已經盡我們所能了。她已經離開美國，現在在另一個國家。」他補充說，如果她返回美國，執法部門將會收到通知。 McDonnell 說她有權利享有隱私，但他敦促她聯繫她的家人或執法部門。 McDonnell 說：「一條簡單的信息可以讓那些關心她的人安心。」他解釋說，在執法部門確認她的安全之前，失蹤人口案件將保持活躍狀態。 Kobayashi 在 11 月 8 日沒有搭乘前往紐約的轉機航班去新工作地點並探望親戚後失蹤了。她告訴家人她那天晚上會在洛杉磯國際機場睡覺。 根據她的姑姑 Larie Pidgeon 的說法，家人認為她正在等待另一班航班。第二天，Kobayashi 給他們發短信說她在洛杉磯觀光，計劃參觀格羅夫購物中心和洛杉磯市中心，Pidgeon 說。 11 月 11 日，家人從她的手機上收到「奇怪而神秘，只是令人擔憂」的短信，提到她在搭乘地鐵時被「攔截」，並擔心有人可能會竊取她的身份，她的姑姑說。 警方和她的家人說，她的父親 Ryan Kobayashi 與志願者一起參與搜救，於 11 月 24 日星期日在洛杉磯國際機場附近的一個停車場被發現死於明顯自殺。 McDonnell 在上週二的警察委員會會議上說，偵探們確定 Hannah Kobayashi 是故意錯過她的轉機航班。Kobayashi 的姐姐 Sydni Kobayashi 在社交媒體帖子中駁斥了他的說法。 警方週一表示，在 Hannah Kobayashi 被發現在洛杉磯各地不同地點後，她要求將她已經托運到紐約的行李送回洛杉磯國際機場。警方表示，她於 11 月 11 日返回機場取回行李，離開時沒有帶手機。 調查人員發現她「表達了想要遠離現代聯繫的願望」。 警方還確認並訊問了一名與 Kobayashi 在地鐵上被看到在一起的男子。警方說，他「很合作」，並說他是在洛杉磯國際機場遇到她的。 Sydni Kobayashi 沒有立即回覆電郵請求置評。「幫助我們找到 Hannah」Facebook 小組的成員（該小組吸引了超過 25,000 名參與者的關注）週一分享了該小組的一篇文章，稱該家庭將在「對他們生命及其幼童生命的威脅」後關閉該小組。 該帖子還說 Sydni Kobayashi 和她的母親不會回覆任何信息。 在新聞發布會上，McDonnell 回顧了這個家庭在過去幾週所經歷的一切。 他說：「我想對任何考慮這樣做的人說，想想你留下的人，那些會為你擔心 sick 的親人。」 —Golden 從西雅圖報道。 如果您或您認識的人可能正在經歷精神健康危機或正在考慮自殺，請撥打或發短信至 988。在緊急情況下，請撥打 911，或向當地醫院或精神健康提供者尋求護理。有關國際資源，請訪問 。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。
明尼蘇達州共和黨人提告，要求重新計票，爭議眾議院選舉出現遺失選票 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 明尼阿波利斯——明尼蘇達州共和黨人於週一提起訴訟，試圖迫使重新計票一場州眾議院選舉，現任民主黨籍議員以14票之差險勝，但調查人員的結論是，選舉工作人員在未能計票後，可能銷毀了20張有效的缺席選票。 這是一場在明尼蘇達州眾議院的選舉，兩黨領袖正在協商權力共享協議的細節，該協議目前假設議會下個月召開會議時將出現67比67的平局。共和黨在特別選舉中的勝利可能會將這種平衡轉變為共和黨以一票優勢的微弱多數。 民主黨在州參議院中佔有一票優勢。因此，無論有爭議的選舉結果如何，在兩年完全由民主黨控制之後，明尼蘇達州將在2025年恢復到一定程度的分裂政府。 訴訟中寫道：「斯科特縣選舉官員的行為嚴重違反了明尼蘇達州選舉法，也違反了公眾對我們選舉制度的信任。」 民主黨眾議員布拉德·塔布克（Brad Tabke）在上週經重新計票和官方驗證後，以14票之差被宣布為明尼阿波利斯西南部郊區沙科皮地區第54A選區的獲勝者。但斯科特縣選舉官員此前在選舉後審計中表示，他們無法解釋該選區中21張缺席選票。 縣檢察官羅納德·霍塞瓦（Ronald Hocevar）上週三報告說，他的初步調查確定，選舉工作人員很可能扔掉了至少20張這些缺席選票，這些選票可能在一捆已被回收商送去銷毀的紙張中。他寫道，這些選票「很可能無法找回」，即使找到了，也不太可能證明其保管鏈沒有斷裂，以確保它們沒有被篡改。 在明尼蘇達州，缺席投票者填寫選票，將其放入安全信封以保護其隱私，然後將該信封放入帶有身份識別信息的簽名信封中，以便選舉工作人員檢查這些選票。一旦開始計票，就應該從安全信封中取出選票並進行統計。 縣檢察官的結論是，這20張選票都來自同一個選區，於10月17日被妥善接受計票，但「很可能從未從其保密信封中取出」，而且很可能在這些信封被扔掉時仍然在裡面。調查沒有確定第21張選票（在不同選區投出）發生了什麼情況。 這並不是近年來第一次發生缺席選票遺失的情況。 2020年，賓夕法尼亞州少量軍人選票最終被扔進垃圾桶，時任總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）利用這一點來支持他在那次選舉前的欺詐指控。調查後，當局發現一名臨時縣選舉工作人員錯誤地將七張軍人選票扔進垃圾桶，並錯誤處理了另外兩張。選票後來從垃圾箱中取回並計票，該工作人員被解僱。 明尼蘇達州眾議院共和黨人於週一代表共和黨候選人阿倫·保羅（Aaron Paul）提起訴訟，要求法院宣布選舉結果無效，塔布克的席位空缺，稱「無可爭議的事實」使得不可能依賴選舉結果。 現任眾議院少數黨領袖、來自科爾德斯普林的麗莎·德穆斯（Lisa Demuth）眾議員表示，新的選舉是保護選舉程序完整性的最佳方式。 德穆斯在一份聲明中說：「我們感謝斯科特縣努力調查此事並公開其調查結果。」 但眾議院民主黨人表示，他們相信他們將贏得法院的挑戰。 現任議長、來自布魯克林公園的梅麗莎·霍特曼（Melissa Hortman）在一份聲明中說：「布拉德·塔布克眾議員在選舉之夜和重新計票中都贏得了第54A選區的選舉。我們預計塔布克眾議員將再次在選舉競爭中獲勝。」 共和黨人上個月還就另一場眾議院選舉提起訴訟，該選舉在郊區的羅斯維爾地區舉行，他們聲稱獲勝者不住在該選區。民主黨人否認了這一點，而該選區是民主黨占優勢的選區，因此即使舉行特別選舉，該案也不太可能改變權力平衡。 ___ 美聯社記者克里斯蒂娜·阿爾梅達·卡西迪（Christina Almeida Cassidy）從亞特蘭大為此報道做出了貢獻。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。
英特爾執行長帕特·基辛格退休
(SeaPRwire) - Intel執行長Pat Gelsinger已退休，David Zinsner和Michelle Johnston Holthaus被任命為臨時共同執行長。 Gelsinger的職業生涯跨越40多年，也辭去了公司董事會的職務。他於1979年加入Intel，並曾擔任其首位首席技術官。他於2021年回歸Intel擔任執行長。 Intel周一表示，將會搜尋新的執行長。 Zinsner是Intel的執行副總裁兼首席財務官。Holthaus被任命為Intel產品公司新設立的執行長職位，其中包括客戶運算事業群、數據中心和AI事業群以及網絡和邊緣事業群。 Intel董事會獨立主席Frank Yeary將擔任臨時執行主席。 Yeary在一份聲明中表示：「Pat在Intel度過了他的黃金歲月，然後在2021年公司面臨關鍵時刻時回歸。作為領導者，Pat通過投資最先進的半導體製造技術，幫助啟動並重振了流程製造，同時為推動整個公司的創新而不懈努力。」 據三位熟悉這項補助金且要求匿名討論私人談話的人士透露，上週有消息顯示，拜登政府計劃削減Intel在全國各地電腦晶片廠的85億美元聯邦資金的一部分。 這項削減在很大程度上是Intel還將獲得30億美元用於向軍方提供電腦晶片的結果。總統喬·拜登在3月份宣佈了一項協議，向Intel提供高達85億美元的直接資金和110億美元的貸款。 熟悉這項補助金的人士告訴美聯社，Intel的資金變動與該公司的財務記錄或里程碑無關。8月份，這家晶片製造商宣佈將裁員15%——約15,000個工作崗位——以試圖扭轉其業務，以與Nvidia和AMD等更成功的競爭對手競爭。 與一些競爭對手不同，Intel除了設計晶片外，還生產晶片。 這家位於加州聖克拉拉的公司股價在盤前交易中跳漲逾4%。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。
Machine learning used to optimise polymer production
TSUKUBA, Japan, Dec 2, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Polymers, such as plastics, are essential in many aspects of life and industry, from packaging and cars to medical devices and optic fibres. Their value comes from diverse properties that are largely determined by their monomers – the single chemical units – that make up a polymer. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to control the chemical behaviour of monomers during manufacture to achieve a desired outcome.The flow synthesis reactor with two bottles containing a monomer, initiator and solvent mixed using a micromixer. The synthesis is controlled with AI-based design of experimental conditions such as the temperature and a flow rate. Now, a team of researchers led by Professor Mikiya Fujii of the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan have used machine learning to mathematically model the polymerization process and reduce the need for time-consuming and expensive experimentation. Their results have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods.Machine learning algorithms need data, so the researchers designed a polymerization process that would quickly and efficiently generate experimental data to feed into the mathematical model. The target molecule was a styrene-methyl methacrylate co-polymer, which was made by mixing styrene and methyl methacrylate monomers, both already dissolved in a solvent with an added initiator substance, then heating them in a water bath.The team also used a method called flow synthesis, in which the two monomer solutions are mixed and heated in a constant flow. This allows for better mixing, more efficient heating, and more precise control of heating time and flow rate, which makes it ideal for use with machine learning.The modelling evaluated the effect of five key variables in the polymerization process: the concentration of the initiator, the ratio of solvent to monomer, the proportion of styrene, the temperature of the reaction, and the time spent in the water bath. The goal was to have an end product with as close to 50% styrene as possible.Once enough experimental data was available, the machine learning process took only five cycles of calculation to achieve the ideal proportion of styrene to methyl methacrylate. The results showed that the key was a lower temperature and longer time in the water bath, as well as lowering the relative concentration of the monomer in the solvent. The researchers were surprised to discover that the solvent concentration was just as important as the proportion of monomers going into the mix.“Our results demonstrate that machine learning not only can explicitly reveal what humans may have implicitly taken for granted but can also provide new insights that weren’t recognized before,” Professor Mikiya Fujii says. “The use of machine learning in chemistry could open the door for smarter, greener manufacturing processes with reduced waste and energy consumption.”Further informationMikiya FujiiNara Institute of Science and TechnologyEmail: fujii.mikiya@ms.naist.jp Paper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2024.2425178About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-M Dr Yasufumi NakamichiSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: NAKAMICHI.Yasufumi@nims.go.jp Press release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

eBRAM Partners with Agency for Volunteer Service to Launch ‘Pro-Bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes’
HONG KONG,Dec 3, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In order to resolve conflicts and disputes between property owners and occupants in Hong Kong caused by water seepage issues, eBRAM International Online Dispute Resolution Centre (“eBRAM”), an independent non-profit arbitration and mediation organisation, today joined hands with the Agency for Volunteer Service to officially launch the Pro-bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes (“Scheme”). The Scheme is free of charge and aims to foster a harmonious community by providing the public with efficient and economical online mediation services to help resolve water seepage disputes in the community.The Scheme has received strong support from the “Joint Office” set up by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and the Buildings Department. When water seepage issues arise, both parties involved can agree to conduct mediation at any stage. The parties can do so by submitting a request through eBRAM’s platform under the Scheme. The platform will then arrange for independent and neutral volunteer mediators to mediate the parties’ dispute. The Scheme aims to enable parties to resolve disputes in the simplest, most cost-effective, and time-efficient manner.Actively Assumes Social Responsibility and Alleviates the Concerns and Difficulties of the CitizensThe issue of building leakage or water seepage is a common source of dispute in the Hong Kong community, and multi-faceted issue encompasses cost split and responsibility for carrying out repairs . This issue has been troubling property owners and occupants in Hong Kong, as it is complicated and involves multiple parties’ responsibilities. Traditional legal proceedings are time-consuming and expensive, making it difficult to resolve these issues in a short period of time, which often causes great suffering to the residents involved.In view of this, as a leading non-profit arbitration and mediation organisation in Hong Kong, eBRAM actively uses innovative approaches to address social livelihood issues. Launched in cooperation with the Agency for Volunteer Service and supported by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and the Buildings Department, this free online mediation service fills a gap in legal services and provides an efficient, economical and convenient solution for members of the public who are in need.Efficiently Resolves Water Seepage Disputes, Highlights Advantages of Online MediationeBRAM’s mediation rules and online dispute resolution platform have overcome the time and space limitations of traditional mediation, allowing parties to participate in mediation process anytime and anywhere. Compared with cumbersome litigation procedures, online mediation is fast and efficient, and lowers the threshold for resolving disputes so that both parties do not have to go through lengthy legal proceedings and pay expensive litigation fees. This flexible service model meets the needs of the busy public living in modern cities to build a harmonious community.In addition, mediation is led by the parties involved, who have more control over the outcome. Both parties can work together to agree on a solution, rather than leaving the decision-making process entirely to the court. At the same time, mediation emphasizes fairness and understanding, which aims to reduce tensions between the parties, avoids escalation of conflicts, and protects their neighbourhood relations. As a third party, professional mediators maintain a neutral stance and assist the parties in discussing feasible solutions that give them peace of mind.Innovative LawTech to Help Build a Harmonious FutureDr Thomas So, JP, Chairman of eBRAM, said, "We are committed to serving our society, promoting sustainable development, and giving back to the community by leveraging innovative technologies and applying our expertise. By collaborating with the Agency for Volunteer Service and with the support of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and the Buildings Department, the launch of the free ‘Pro-bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes’ has not only helped solve the public’s livelihood issues, but also provided new ideas for building a harmonious and inclusive social environment. Looking ahead, we will continue to work closely with the government and other organisations to provide high-quality and efficient dispute resolution services to more members of the public."Ms. Melissa Pang, BBS, MH, JP, Chairman of the Agency for Volunteer Service, said, "We have always been attentive to the needs of the members of the public and are committed to playing a pivotal role in collaborating with various sectors of society to address livelihood issues. By having dedicated professional mediators who are passionate about serving society as volunteer workers, we provide free mediation services to relevant owners and occupants through eBRAM’s online platform, believing that we can play a crucial role in resolving building leakage disputes within the community. We look forward to promoting community harmony through this innovative initiative, ensuring that members of the public can live and work in peace."According to the figures released by the Joint Office, over the past five years, there have been an average of over 40,000 complaints per year on water seepage issues. The number of cases in which the source of water seepage was identified and relevant investigations completed averaged around 5,800 cases per year, accounting for approximately 14.5% of the total number of complaints. As at September 2023, the number of cases under investigation was around 10,000. Between 2020 and 2022, investigation on approximately 30% of the cases could not be completed and complainants were not informed of the investigation results within 90 working days. The “Pro-bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes” initiated by eBRAM and the Agency for Volunteer Service is set to effectively reduce the time required to handle water seepage cases, increase efficiency in addressing the public’s livelihood issues, and play a more active role in promoting harmony in the community and reducing social conflicts.“Pro-bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes” Webpage:https://ebram.org/Water_Seepage_POM_Scheme/?language=en Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

康哲藥業獲得治療痛風及高尿酸血症的1類新藥獨家商業化權利
深圳, 2024年12月2日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 康哲藥業控股有限公司（以下簡稱「康哲藥業」）欣然宣佈，於2024年12月2日，通過其全資附屬公司與杭州新元素藥業有限公司（以下稱「新元素藥業」，曾用名「江蘇新元素醫藥科技有限公司」）就治療痛風及高尿酸血症的1類新藥ABP-671（「產品」）簽訂獨家商業化協議（「協議」）。根據協議，康哲藥業獲得產品在中國大陸、香港特別行政區及澳門特別行政區的獨家商業化權利。合作期限開始於協議生效之日，自產品首次在中國大陸獲批上市起擁有十年的授權期限（「授權期限」）。授權期限屆滿後，根據協議約定的特定條件，授權期限可自動續期十年。ABP-671是用於治療痛風及高尿酸血症的化藥1類創新藥，目前正分別在中國和境外開展關於痛風的2b/3期臨床試驗，產品通過抑制尿酸鹽轉運蛋白1（URAT1），降低腎臟對尿酸的重吸收。在已經完成的兩項2期臨床試驗結果顯示，ABP-671多個劑量組（1mg至12mg）表現出良好的藥效和安全性。該產品2mg每天單次給藥，其藥效可能相當於或優於苯溴馬隆和非布司他最高劑量80mg的藥效。尿酸下降可維持全天候24小時，沒有出現嚴重的安全性問題。產品有望為痛風及高尿酸血症患者帶來療效更優、安全性更高的治療選擇[1]。與ABP-671相關的化合物和用途方面的多個專利已在中國獲得授權。高尿酸血症是指成人在正常嘌呤飲食情況下，非同日2次空腹血尿酸水平超過420μmol/L (7.0mg/dL)。高尿酸血症患者出現尿酸鹽晶體沉積，導致痛風性關節炎，稱為痛風。高尿酸血症及痛風可引起關節軟骨、骨質、腎臟以及血管壁等急慢性炎症損傷，導致心、腦、腎等多器官損害。《2021中國高尿酸及痛風趨勢白皮書》數據顯示，我國高尿酸血症的總體的患病率為13.3%，高尿酸血症患病人數約1.77億人，痛風總體發病率為1.1%，患病人數約為1,466萬。據弗若斯特沙利文分析，未來中國高尿酸血症和痛風患病人數會持續增加，將在2030年分別達到2.4億人、5,220萬人。目前我國臨床上常用的降尿酸藥物主要包括抑制尿酸合成和促進尿酸排泄兩類，由於已上市降尿酸藥物在療效和安全性上仍存在一定的局限性，如導致腎衰竭、心臟猝死或嚴重肝臟毒性等。中國痛風及高尿酸血症患者對高效安全的降尿酸藥物仍然有迫切的需求。ABP-671是當前痛風及高尿酸血症治療中潛在療效優、安全性好的產品。通過本次合作引進，填補了康哲藥業痛風治療產品的空白。痛風及高尿酸血症既屬於風濕疾病又屬於慢性代謝性疾病，與康哲藥業心腦血管/消化業務的戰略佈局，以及在售品種的網絡資源高度契合。ABP-671如未來獲批上市，在風濕免疫科可與在售產品美泰彤（甲氨蝶呤注射液），在內分泌科和骨科可與益蓋寧（依降鈣素注射液）在專家網絡與市場資源方面協同。基於未滿足的臨床需求和產品預期扎實的臨床數據，期待ABP-671的臨床開發工作順利推進，使相關適應症患者儘快從創新療法中獲益。關於新元素藥業新元素藥業創辦於2012年3月，專注於代謝和炎症領域疾病中具有全球商業價值和全球競爭力的創新藥的研發。新元素藥業主要核心團隊人員來自美國，具有廣泛的創新藥物的研發經驗，過去幾年新元素藥業取得了顯著的發展成果。其核心產品ABP-671正處於後期臨床研發階段，用於治療慢性痛風；另一個小分子創新藥物ABP-745用於抗炎自免領域適應症，已完成1期臨床，表現出良好的PK和安全性，即將進入2期臨床。有關新元素藥業及其產品的更多信息，請訪問其官方網站：https://www.atombp.com/。關於康哲藥業康哲藥業是一家鏈接醫藥創新與商業化，把控產品全生命週期管理的開放式平臺型企業，致力於提供有競爭力的產品和服務，滿足尚未滿足的醫療需求。康哲藥業專注於全球首創（FIC）及同類最優（BIC）的創新產品，並高效推進創新產品臨床研究開發和商業化進程，賦能科研成果向診療實踐的持續轉化，造福患者。康哲藥業聚焦專科領域，擁有被驗證的商業化能力，廣泛的渠道覆蓋和多疾病領域專家資源，核心在售產品已獲領先的學術與市場地位。康哲藥業圍繞優勢專科領域不斷縱深發展，以鞏固心腦血管/消化業務競爭力，並將皮膚醫美、眼科業務獨立運營，培育專科小領域的大龍頭，提升專科規模效率。同時業務版圖拓展至東南亞市場，著力成為全球藥企進軍東南亞市場的「橋頭堡」，助力康哲藥業高質量持續健康發展。參考文獻：1.產品2期臨床試驗結果已發佈，詳情如下：https://www.atombp.com/2023/03/01/atom-bioscience-announces-positive-results-of-phase-2a-china-clinical-trial-of-its-urat1-inhibitor-for-chronic-gout/康哲藥業免責與前瞻性聲明本新聞無意向您做任何產品的推廣，非廣告用途。本新聞不對任何藥品和醫療器械和/或適應症作推薦。若您想瞭解具體疾病診療信息，請遵從醫生或其他醫療衛生專業人士的意見或指導。醫療衛生專業人士作出的任何與治療有關的決定應根據患者的具體情況並遵照藥品說明書。由康哲藥業編制的此新聞不構成購買或認購任何證券的任何要約或邀請，不形成任何合約或任何其他約束性承諾的依據或加以依賴。本新聞由康哲藥業根據其認為可靠之資料及數據編制，但康哲藥業並無進行任何說明或保證、明述或暗示，或其他表述，對本新聞內容的真實性、準確性、完整性、公平性及合理性不應加以依賴。本新聞中討論的若干事宜可能包含涉及康哲藥業的市場機會及業務前景的陳述，該等陳述分別或統稱為前瞻性聲明。該等前瞻性聲明並非對未來表現的保證，存在已知及未知的風險、不明朗性及難以預知的假設。康哲藥業並不採納本新聞包含的第三方所做的任何前瞻性聲明及預測，康哲藥業對該等第三方聲明及預測不承擔責任。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

菲律賓副總統因威脅總統而面臨彈劾訴訟
(SeaPRwire) - 馬尼拉——一項彈劾訴狀於週一針對菲律賓副總統莎拉·杜特爾特提出，她正面臨一場法律風暴，原因是她對總統發出的威脅，以及她涉嫌參與對毒品嫌疑犯的法外處決、腐敗以及未能抵制中國在南海爭議地區的侵略行為。 眾議院幾位著名的民間社會活動家提出的彈劾動議指控杜特爾特違反該國憲法，背叛公眾信任以及其他「重罪」，包括她對總統、總統夫人和眾議院議長的死亡威脅。 杜特爾特尚未立即對這項彈劾動議做出任何回應，該動議指控她犯下約二十幾項罪行。 提交彈劾訴狀所需的背書人、眾議員珀西瓦爾·森達納表示：「我們希望藉由這項訴狀，結束副總統給人民帶來的噩夢。」 彈劾訴狀副本中指出，副總統的威脅顯示了「被控訴人精神能力不足、墮落和缺乏繼續擔任菲律賓副總統高職的健康狀況」。「這不僅構成背叛公眾信任，而且還是一項重罪，足以使其立即被彈劾。」 現年46歲的律師杜特爾特還被控在訴狀中擁有不明來源的財富，並允許在她過去擔任南部達沃市市長時，由其父親發起的對毒品嫌疑犯的法外處決繼續進行。 副總統的法律麻煩伴隨著她和馬科斯及其盟友之間日益激烈的政治爭鬥而浮出水面。她在11月23日的一次線上新聞發佈會上表示，如果她被殺害，她已經僱傭了一名刺客來殺死馬科斯、他的妻子和議長馬丁·羅慕爾德茲，並警告說這不是開玩笑。 她後來表示，她不是在威脅他，而是在表達對自身安全的擔憂。 彈劾訴狀將由菲律賓國會審查，國會主要由馬科斯的盟友以及他的表兄弟兼主要支持者羅慕爾德茲組成，羅慕爾德茲也一直與副總統在政治上存在分歧。 這個過程可能需要數週或數月時間。國會將於12月20日開始聖誕節休會，並於1月13日恢復開會。許多立法者隨後將開始為5月12日的中期選舉競選連任。 眾議院一直在調查杜特爾特擔任副總統和教育部長期間，其辦公室收到的6.125億比索（1030萬美元）機密和情報資金的涉嫌濫用情況。她此後已辭去教育部長職務。 她在緊張的電視聽證會上拒絕詳細回答問題。當她的幕僚長祖萊卡·洛佩茲被勒令暫時拘留，理由是涉嫌阻礙調查時，杜特爾特也強烈抗議。洛佩茲已獲釋出院。 菲律賓警方已對杜特爾特及其安保人員提出刑事控告，理由是他們在國會就洛佩茲的拘留問題發生爭執時，涉嫌襲擊當局和不服從命令。 杜特爾特指控馬科斯、他的妻子和羅慕爾德茲腐敗、領導無能，並試圖封殺她，因為有傳言說她可能會在2028年競選總統。 國家調查局傳喚杜特爾特向調查人員說明她對他們的威脅。 在威脅發生後，警方、軍方和國家安全顧問立即加強了馬科斯的安保。 總統表示，彈劾杜特爾特將浪費時間，而該國正面臨其他挑戰，但她的反對者表示，他們將繼續推進問責制和法治。 馬科斯和杜特爾特在2022年選舉中以競選搭檔的身份贏得了壓倒性勝利，但此後由於關鍵分歧而決裂。在菲律賓，這兩個職位是分別選舉產生的，這導致競爭對手擔任該國最高的政治職位。 馬科斯和杜特爾特在中國對南海的領土主張以及對杜特爾特的父親羅德里戈·杜特爾特（前總統兼達沃前市長）進行的致命毒品掃蕩的看法上存在分歧。 彈劾案的控告人，包括來自名為Magdalo的組織的前軍官，指控她拒絕譴責中國在南海對菲律賓軍隊的侵略行動。控告人沒有點名中國。 殘酷的毒品掃蕩導致數千名大多數為貧困嫌疑犯在警方殺害中喪生，這些事件正在被調查，可能構成危害人類罪。 彈劾訴狀引用了一名殺戮案的重要證人、前警官阿圖羅·拉斯卡納斯的話說，莎拉·杜特爾特在她擔任達沃市市長時，允許對毒品嫌疑犯的法外處決繼續進行。毒品掃蕩行動是她父親擔任市長時發起的。 —美聯社記者艾倫·法維拉和喬爾·卡魯皮坦為本報道做出了貢獻。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。
幾內亞足球賽衝突後發生踩踏事件，造成包括兒童在內的數十人死亡
(SeaPRwire) - 幾內亞科納克里——當地媒體和一個政治聯盟週日晚間報導，在幾內亞南部最大城市的一場足球比賽中，發生衝突後引發踩踏事件，造成包括兒童在內的數十名足球迷喪生。 這場踩踏事件發生在週日下午，地點是恩澤雷科雷市，當時正在舉行一場當地錦標賽，比賽雙方是拉貝隊和恩澤雷科雷隊，比賽是為了紀念幾內亞的軍事領導人馬馬迪·敦布亞而舉辦的，幾內亞總理阿馬杜·烏里·巴赫也出席了比賽。 巴赫表示：「踩踏事件中造成人員傷亡」，但他沒有進一步說明傷亡人數。他補充說，地區當局正在努力恢復該地區的平靜。 據全國輪換與民主聯盟（National Alliance for Alternation and Democracy）——一個政治聯盟——稱，這場踩踏事件造成數十人死亡和受傷，該聯盟呼籲對此進行調查。 當地媒體報導稱，這場混亂始於一場有爭議的點球判罰，激怒了許多球迷，許多球迷發生衝突，湧入擁擠體育場的開放式足球場。 據當地媒體《幾內亞媒體》（Media Guinea）和似乎來自現場的影片顯示，遇難者中包括兒童。《幾內亞媒體》表示，一些正在地區醫院接受治療的傷者情況危急。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。
川普提名卡夏普·帕特爾擔任聯邦調查局局長 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 準總統唐納德·特朗普提名卡夏普·「卡什」·帕特爾——一位律師，也是時任代理國防部長克里斯托弗·米勒的前幕僚長——擔任聯邦調查局（FBI）局長。 「卡什是一位才華橫溢的律師、調查員和『美國優先』的鬥士，他一生都在揭露腐敗、捍衛正義和保護美國人民，」特朗普在11月30日發表的提名公告中說。「他在揭露『俄羅斯干預』騙局中發揮了關鍵作用，作為真理、問責制和憲法擁護者的倡導者。」 如果得到確認，44歲的帕特爾將接替由特朗普於2017年任命的FBI局長克里斯托弗·雷。雷的10年任期還有三年，因此帕特爾要接任，雷需要辭職或被解僱。帕特爾還需要得到現在由共和黨控制的參議院的確認。 12月1日，愛荷華州共和黨參議員查克·格拉斯利通過X（前稱Twitter）發表講話，稱雷「未能履行FBI局長的基本職責」，並認為是時候「開闢一條新的道路」，走上「透明和問責制」的道路。他還表示：「卡什·帕特爾必須向國會證明，他將改革和恢復公眾對[聯邦調查局]的信任。」 在聯邦調查局調查特朗普競選團隊可能與俄羅斯干預2016年總統大選有關聯的時期，特朗普解僱了前任局長，從此對聯邦調查局和FBI局長職位表現出特殊興趣。然而，在帕特爾身上，特朗普任命了一位對他表現出極端忠誠的潛在局長。 鑒於特朗普提名他領導美國主要的執法機構，以下是關於帕特爾的相關信息。 帕特爾並非特朗普政府的新人 在來到華盛頓特區之前，帕特爾在邁阿密擔任公設辯護人，直到2014年加入司法部。在特朗普第一任期內，他曾擔任總統副助理兼國家安全委員會反恐高級主任。 帕特爾此前曾擔任時任代理國防部長克里斯托弗·米勒的幕僚長。他還曾擔任前加州眾議員兼眾議院情報委員會主席的助手，參與調查聯邦調查局對俄羅斯干預2016年總統大選的調查。 據報道，在2021年初離職之前，特朗普曾考慮讓帕特爾擔任FBI副局長。然而，在2022年的回憶錄《一件事接一件事》中，前司法部長威廉·巴爾寫道：「帕特爾幾乎沒有任何經驗可以讓他勝任世界頂級執法機構的最高職位。」 特朗普離開白宮後，似乎與帕特爾保持著密切的關係。在對特朗普的調查中，帕特爾拒絕在聯邦大陪審團面前作證指控特朗普，行使了他第五修正案的自我保護權。（在司法部給予他豁免權後，他最終還是作證了。） 帕特爾呼籲對聯邦調查局進行「徹底的清理」 這一提名符合特朗普徹底改革聯邦機構的計劃，因為帕特爾以其對「深層政府」的批評而聞名，並在其2023年的著作《政府匪徒》中概述了他「打敗深層政府」的計劃。在他的書中，據報道，他還表示聯邦調查局「已經完全被腐蝕，除非採取斷然措施，否則它將繼續威脅人民」。 帕特爾在過去幾年中在採訪中分享了更多計劃。在與播客的對話中，帕特爾說，他上任「第一天」就會「關閉」聯邦調查局的總部大樓，並「第二天重新開放它作為『深層政府』博物館」。 「我會把在那棟大樓工作的七千名員工送到美國各地去追捕罪犯，」他繼續說道。 在去年與前白宮首席策略師兼右翼煽動者史蒂夫·班農（在他入獄之前進行的採訪）的採訪中，帕特爾聽著班農說他認為帕特爾將來會成為中央情報局局長。帕特爾回應說，他「將會找出不僅在政府中，而且在媒體中的陰謀者」。 「是的，我們將會追究那些對美國公民撒謊、幫助喬·拜登操縱總統選舉的媒體人士的責任，」他繼續說道，進一步證實了特朗普關於他輸給總統喬·拜登的2020年選舉是「被操縱的」的說法。 帕特爾的政治生活之外 帕特爾出生於紐約州的花園城市，父母是印度移民。他將他的著作《政府匪徒》獻給了他的父母，感謝他們「敢於穿越地球去尋找美國夢」。 在他成長的經歷中，他寫道，他的家總是「很熱鬧，我和我的兄弟姐妹、我的父母、我父親的八個兄弟姐妹和我都住在一起」。他还說，他與印度有著「非常深厚的聯繫」，並在印度教信仰中長大。 帕特爾在弗吉尼亞州的里士滿大學完成了本科學習，然後在紐約的佩斯大學法學院學習法律。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。
威斯康辛州民主黨領袖班·威克勒加入競逐全國黨魁
(SeaPRwire) - 佛羅里達州西棕櫚灘——威斯康辛州民主黨主席表示，在唐納德·特朗普和共和黨在華盛頓贏得選舉後，他已加入競爭，角逐全國黨主席。 威克勒在其競選聲明中表示：「在威斯康辛州，我們建立了一個永久性的競選活動。我們全年在全州各地——包括農村、郊區、城市、紅區、藍區和紫區——開展組織和溝通工作。」 自失去白宮、參議院和眾議院的控制權以來，民主黨正在尋求新的領導層來應對國家問題，並面臨著應對特朗普再執政四年的額外挑戰。 目前，已宣布競選民主黨全國委員會主席的候選人包括明尼蘇達州民主農民勞工黨主席兼全國黨副主席肯·馬丁，以及前馬里蘭州州長、現任社會保障管理局局長馬丁·奧馬利。民主黨全國委員會將於二月份選出其繼任者，這場選舉將充分體現該黨希望在特朗普再次執政四年期間如何展現自身形象。 威克勒於2019年當選州主席，他援引了自己領導該黨在一個在2024年比其他戰場州更少向特朗普傾斜的州的努力的經驗，以及民主黨在該州贏得了關鍵的下級選舉。 他表示，在其任內，民主黨改變了威斯康辛州最高法院的多數派，並再次選出了托尼·埃弗斯為州長。今年，該州讓參議員塔米·鮑德溫再次當選第三任期，並重新贏得了14個州立法機構席位，他表示這讓民主黨在2026年有望在兩個議院中都獲得多數席位。 威克勒說：「在威斯康辛州發揮作用的東西可以在任何地方發揮作用。」 43歲的威克勒曾擔任進步倡導組織MoveOn.org的華盛頓主任，以及Avaaz（一個動員成員應對貧困、氣候變化和人權等問題的團體）的競選主任。 威克勒在CNN的「Inside Politics Sunday」節目中表示，民主黨需要向美國人表明「我們站在他們一邊，並展示共和黨是為了誰。如果我們不這樣做，我們就會輸。」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。
