(SeaPRwire) - 瑪麗娜·席爾瓦（Marina Silva）的成就似乎近乎奇蹟。自2023年第二次擔任巴西環境和氣候部長以來，該國迅速而顯著地扭轉了森林砍伐的趨勢，嚴格執行了其前任放棄的環境規則。根據去年秋天發布的最新數據，亞馬遜的森林砍伐已降至十年來的最低水平。僅在2023年，就比上一年下降了近一半。 「當我們上任時，森林砍伐正處於失控的上升曲線中，」她在4月30日告訴我。「我們必須重建機構、指揮和控制組織，並增加公共資金。」 然而，當我們在巴西利亞的她的辦公室會面時，她小心翼翼地沒有在成功上停留太久。亞馬遜雨林正危險地接近一個臨界點，這可能會迅速改變不僅是世界上最著名的雨林生物群落，而是整個地球。一旦達到，亞馬遜將失去維持自身的能力，大片區域將轉變為熱帶稀樹草原，導致生物多樣性的喪失，並大量釋放二氧化碳。她說，為了阻止這種情況，領導人需要採取新的機制來阻止合法的森林砍伐，並促進重新造林退化土地的努力——同時繼續進行執法工作。但是，她說，拯救亞馬遜需要超越巴西國界的工作：世界需要減緩化石燃料的燃燒。 「即使我們能夠消除森林砍伐，但由於氣候變化，如果我們不減少化石燃料排放的碳，森林仍然會被摧毀，」她說。 對於席爾瓦來說，她在偏遠的亞馬遜州阿克里州的一個橡膠採集工家庭中出生和長大，這是她終身保護亞馬遜的旅程中的下一步。但這也是一個關鍵的、可能成敗的時刻，因為巴西今年在氣候運動中佔據中心地位，將在11月舉辦年度聯合國氣候會議，COP30。 「我們已經處於極限，處於氣候危機的變化、轉移點，」她說。「曾經有一個不超過1.5度限制的機會之窗，而現在只剩下一線希望。」 即使是經驗豐富的氣候專家，也很難追蹤巴西在COP30之前正在進行的所有工作。巴西總統盧拉（Lula）已將氣候問題列為首要任務，政府各部門的部長們都專注於解決這個問題。席爾瓦是巴西的國家級人物，在2014年總統選舉中名列第三，她已將她的部門轉變為這項工作的中心節點。 當我在巴西時，政府宣布了一項20億美元的融資計畫，用於在亞馬遜地區重新造林多達100萬公頃（約等於夏威夷島的大小）的退化土地。最近幾個月，席爾瓦與財政部的對口官員加倍努力，建立了一個1250億美元的基金，旨在保護世界各地的熱帶森林。除了雨林工作外，政府還推出了國內產業的碳定價——並討論了如何與其他國家合作，以協調其他地方的同等政策。 席爾瓦希望這些努力都能在COP30上匯集在一起，作為更廣泛努力的一部分，使這次會議成為全球氣候倡議實施的關鍵時刻。她將新出現的COP30目標描述為「全球倫理評估」：盧拉和聯合國秘書長將聽取廣泛的利害關係者的意見——從哲學家到原住民到政治領導人——著眼於幫助世界制定一項將氣候解決方案付諸行動的計畫。「我們不能一直拖延下去，」她說。「我們需要實施。」 毋庸置疑，今年的氣候談判將充滿挑戰——也許沒有什麼比美國退出國際《巴黎氣候協定》所帶來的挑戰更重要了。席爾瓦毫不客氣地談到了美國和川普政府在混淆全球氣候討論中的作用。在沒有我的提示下，她批評了從他退出《巴黎協定》到他決定凍結《國家氣候評估》的一切。她說，所有這些都在必要的氣候行動中留下了一個巨大的缺口：「事情變得更加困難，特別是川普政府的決定。」 我對巴西利亞的訪問恰逢金磚國家（BRICS）的一次重要會議——這是一個新興市場國家集團，它們作為對美國和歐洲力量的制衡力量進行合作。在我的飯店裡，我發現中國外交部長帶著他的隨行人員走過大廳，還有其他國家的代表團。但席爾瓦說，世界其他國家無法取代美國需要採取的行動。「我們不能否認，無論是在地緣政治方面，還是在氣候方面，」她告訴我。「美國造成的真空是美國自己的真空。」 她指出，具有挑戰性的地緣政治在一定程度上可以回應人們對盧拉自身氣候領導力的質疑。儘管他關注這個問題，但一些環保人士批評他，說他行動太慢，做得不夠。一個特別令人擔憂的領域：目前正在考慮在亞馬遜地區進行新的石油勘探工作。當被問及待定的決定時，席爾瓦首先轉向了冷酷的地緣政治現實。石油需求仍然很高，供應緊張。美國的立場在全球範圍內造成了一種印象，即化石燃料將在一段時間內存在。 她說，解決方案是妥善管理的轉型。「我所捍衛的是公平的轉型，為所有人規劃的轉型，」她說。「當我說公平和規劃時，是因為這不是魔法。」由巴西主導的COP30是開始實施這種轉型的好地方。 This story is supported by a partnership with TIME and Journalism Funding Partners.

為什麼我老是流鼻水？
(SeaPRwire) - 鼻涕流不停不僅令人煩惱，還會影響您的生活品質。「如果你一直流鼻涕，必須不斷吸鼻子或使用衛生紙，這會嚴重影響你一整天的感受，」威爾康乃爾醫學院 (Weill Cornell Medicine) 和紐約長老會醫院 (NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital) 的耳鼻喉科醫師 (也稱為耳鼻喉科醫生或 ENT) 威廉·雷薩赫 (William Reisacher) 博士說，他專門研究過敏症。 對於像水龍頭一樣流鼻涕的情況，有一個醫學定義。 馬里蘭州和華盛頓特區的 Centers for Advanced ENT Care—Feldman ENT Division 的耳鼻喉科醫師娜塔莉·厄爾 (Natalie Earl) 博士說，持續性或慢性鼻炎是指持續超過 12 週的流鼻涕。 這種情況也稱為慢性鼻漏。 厄爾說，黏液「可以是透明、流鼻水、水狀、濃稠和/或有顏色的」，通常需要藥物才能止住鼻涕。 她說，這與急性原因引起的流鼻涕不同。 例如，感冒引起的流鼻涕通常會在「幾天到不到 4 週內」自行停止，她說。 雖然慢性流鼻涕可能不是您曾經處理過的最嚴重的健康問題，但您不必默默忍受吸鼻子的聲音。 「流鼻涕是人們通常不會談論的疾病之一，因為雖然它確實很困擾他們……但它似乎是一個微不足道的問題，」雷薩赫說。 「他們來的時候幾乎帶著歉意，覺得因為這種『小麻煩』來打擾我，但這正是我的領域要解決的問題。」 他說，如果您擔心流鼻涕一直不好，請隨時諮詢醫療保健專業人員。 這樣，您就可以找出可能導致您症狀的原因，並找到能讓您感到舒緩的方法。 以下是一些引起流鼻涕的最常見原因。 過敏 厄爾說，過敏是持續流鼻涕的主要原因。 但你通常可以判斷自己是否發生過敏反應，因為它會伴隨許多其他症狀，即「打噴嚏、鼻子發癢和鼻塞」，她說。 「有些人也會感到眼睛發癢、流淚和/或灼熱。」 天氣變化 雷薩赫說，溫度、氣壓和其他天氣變化都會引起流鼻涕，而且如果你居住的環境變化夠大，你可能會覺得自己一直在吸鼻子。 「鼻子是溫度計、濕度計、氣壓計。 它會以一種肯定會引起我們注意的方式做出反應。」 他說，您環境中的其他變化也是如此，例如附近擾亂刺激性灰塵的建築工程。 藥物 雷薩赫說，某些處方藥，例如用於治療高血壓的乙型阻斷劑，以引起流鼻涕作為副作用而聞名。 美國過敏、哮喘和免疫學學院 (ACAAI) 表示，荷爾蒙避孕藥可能會引發類似的症狀。 他補充說，您正在服用的藥物類型或劑量的變化可能會導致持續的流鼻涕。 結構性問題 雷薩赫說，耳鼻喉科醫生接受過訓練，可以檢查你的鼻子內部和周圍，尋找可能導致你症狀的結構異常。 根據 Mayo Clinic 的說法，你可能有鼻息肉（鼻子內膜上的小腫塊）或鼻中隔偏曲（鼻孔之間的壁更偏向一側）。 懷孕 懷孕期間，身體的許多部位都會發生變化，你的鼻子也不例外。 雷薩赫解釋說，荷爾蒙波動會擴張血管，以幫助將營養物質輸送到你正在成長的寶寶，但「鼻子內的組織也會受到影響，而且會滲漏更多液體。」 他說，通常從懷孕中期開始，你可能會覺得自己突然產生了過敏，而你以前從未有過過敏，或者你一直感到鼻塞和吸鼻子。 該怎麼辦 你不必在吸鼻子數週後才與人談論你的症狀。 「只要你感到擔心，就應該致電或發訊息給你的醫生，」雷薩赫說。 厄爾說，你可以自己嘗試非處方生理食鹽水或類固醇鼻腔噴霧劑和口服抗組織胺藥，特別是如果你認為自己可能患有過敏症。 但是藥房裡的選擇太多了； 如果您需要更多指導，最好先向您的醫生尋求一些建議。 厄爾說，如果你在兩週內沒有從這些藥物中得到任何緩解，就該去看醫療保健專業人員了。 雷薩赫說，與你的醫生討論你最近對你正在服用的藥物所做的任何改變。 他們或許可以建議減少這種副作用或處理流鼻涕的方法。 他說，還要討論你的環境以及你周圍環境的任何變化。 重要的是要了解你流鼻涕的所有潛在誘因，因為「沒有血液檢查可以給你答案，」他說。 當然，你可以接受過敏測試，但除此之外，可能需要一位技術精湛的醫生來解釋你詳細的病史，才能找出並治療你不適的根源。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。

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Achieves Highest-Ever Order Intake, Revenue, Net Income, and Free Cash Flow in FY2024, Increases Dividends, and Releases FY2025 Guidance
- Order intake grew YoY in all segments, with largest gains in GTCC in Energy Systems and Metals Machinery in Plants & Infrastructure Systems.- Revenue increased YoY in Energy Systems, Plants & Infrastructure Systems, and Aircraft, Defense & Space, with largest contributions from Defense & Space.- Business profit rose YoY in Energy Systems, Plants & Infrastructure Systems, and Aircraft, Defense & Space due to higher revenue, improved margins, positive impact from yen depreciation, as well as gains on fixed asset sales.- Net income increased YoY due to strong business profit results.- Free cash flow grew YoY due to large advances received accompanying new project orders.- Announced a ¥3/share YoY increase in full-year dividends to ¥23/share.- Issued FY2025 guidance aiming for ¥5.4 trillion in revenue, ¥420 billion in business profit, and ¥24/share in full-year dividends.TOKYO, May 9, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI, TSE Code: 7011) announced that order intake increased 5.8% year-on-year to ¥7,071.2 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Revenue rose 7.9% to ¥5,027.1 billion year-on-year, resulting in profit from business activities (business profit) of ¥383.1 billion, a 35.6% increase over the previous fiscal year, which represents a profit margin of 7.6%. Profit attributable to owners of parent (net income) was ¥245.4 billion, an increase of 10.6% year-on-year, with a profit margin of 4.9%. EBITDA was ¥541.3 billion, a 25.1% increase over FY2023, with an EBITDA margin of 10.8%, up 1.5 percentage points year-on-year.In Energy, order intake increased by ¥210.2 billion YoY, which reflected continued strong demand in Gas Turbine Combined Cycle (GTCC) and Aero Engines. Contracts for 25 large frame gas turbine units were concluded during FY2024, the majority of which were from customers in the Americas. Revenue increased by ¥92.1 billion YoY. The largest gains were seen in GTCC, which worked to execute its sizeable backlog, and Aero Engines. Segment business profit increased by ¥55.4 billion YoY due to increased revenue and higher margins in GTCC, as well as increased revenue and the rebound from one-time expenses incurred in FY2023 in Aero Engines, together with stable performance in Nuclear Power.In P&I, order intake and revenue increased by ¥117.0 billion YoY and ¥18.8 billion YoY, respectively, due to favorable performance in Metals Machinery and Machinery Systems. Higher revenue and margins in Metals Machinery and increased revenue in Machinery Systems helped to raise segment business profit by ¥14.8 billion YoY.In LT&D, revenue decreased by ¥7.4 billion YoY due to a contraction in units sold in Logistics Systems despite increased sales in Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC). The decrease in units sold in Logistics System combined with additional costs from supply chain disruption in Turbochargers resulted in a ¥23.4 billion YoY decrease in segment business profit.In ADS, order intake increased by ¥31.4 billion YoY due to slightly higher order intake for Naval Ships and Space Systems within Defense & Space. Revenue increased by ¥239.0 billion YoY, mainly in Defense & Space. Increased revenue and higher margins in Defense & Space served to increase segment business profit by ¥27.2 billion YoY.FY2025 Earnings ForecastMHI issued guidance for the period ending March 31, 2026. The forecast targets further increases in revenue, business profit, and net income over FY2024 actual. The main driver of revenue growth is expected to be Defense & Space in ADS, which is working to execute on a large order backlog accumulated since FY2023. Higher revenue and improved project margins will contribute to an increase in business profit. A full-year dividend of ¥24/share is planned.CFO Message"FY2024 was truly a remarkable year, with many of our businesses performing beyond expectations, which allowed us to report record figures in terms of order intake, revenue, net income, and free cash flow - this following what was by all accounts an extremely robust FY2023," said Hisato Kozawa, MHI's Chief Financial Officer. He continued: "Regarding order intake, GTCC and Aero Engines in Energy, and Metals Machinery in P&I were star performers, and Defense & Space nearly matched the large order intake booked in FY2023. As a result, total orders in FY2024 exceeded the high bar set in the previous fiscal year. Revenue increased in Energy, P&I, and ADS, which were executing on substantial order backlogs. Increased revenue, improved margins, the positive impact from yen depreciation, as well as gains on fixed asset sales drove the large profit growth seen during this period."Today, we have also announced our earnings forecast for FY2025, which projects another record year for revenue and net income," Kozawa went on. "Strong progress in project execution in GTCC and Defense, together with continued high demand in Aero Engines and HVAC, as well as a certain amount of recovery in Logistics Systems and Commercial Aviation will drive this revenue growth. Higher revenue combined with better margins will allow us to achieve ¥420 billion in business profit at a margin of 7.8%. In closing, please note that our earnings forecast does not reflect potential impact from the recent increase in global economic uncertainty, including that associated with tariffs. That said, we will aim to minimize any negative impact with a variety of countermeasures, such as negotiating cost passthroughs with our customers."About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

Valuufy Selected by Global Tech Leader for Environmental Impact Assessment
KYOTO, Japan, May 9, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Valuufy, a pioneering value measurement startup, has been selected by a global tech powerhouse and member of the 'Magnificent Seven’ to carry out a comprehensive environmental impact assessment. The engagement, which began in March 2025, represents a significant milestone for the young Kyoto-based value creation specialist.The project is based on the ValuuCompass™, an evolutionary system that transparently assesses impact and value creation for nature, one of the system's seven stakeholders, and benchmarks the results against other leaders in the market. The client will receive the assessment and analysis later this month, with actionable insights on environmental performance across multiple dimensions.Directing Sustainabiliy towards Value CreationKyle Barnes, CEO of Valuufy, said, "For a startup, especially from Japan, securing a major American tech giant as a client is extraordinary. This speaks clearly on how our approach resonates with forward-thinking organizations. We've built ValuuCompass on a solid foundation of academic rigour and practical business value -- and that company responded to this combination."Addressing Critical Gaps in Sustainability MeasurementThe tech heavy selected Valuufy after evaluating multiple sustainability assessment solutions. "Gaps and discrepancies exist in current sustainability benchmarking when factoring environmental and social considerations. We appreciate how Valuufy systematically evaluates all relevant topic areas using best in class industry standards coupled with a data-driven, quantifiable approach to derive actionable insights," noted a company representative.Breaking New Ground in Precision and Performance BenchmarkingDr Philip Sugai, Director of Research at Valuufy, said, "What sets ValuuCompass apart is its unparalleled level of detail and methodological rigor. Unlike current frameworks that offer broad sustainability disclosure topics, we've developed specific, measurable subgoals for each objective. This granular approach enables something that's been largely unattainable with existing frameworks – genuine benchmarking across companies and industries.""Traditional ESG frameworks mainly look back on what companies have already reported," Sugai continued. "Our work focuses on the future and what matters most to business leaders -- identifying specific opportunities to create value and reduce risk across their entire stakeholder ecosystem. For technology companies with complex global value chains, this perspective is particularly valuable."Directing Sustainabiliy toward Value CreationThis client relationship underscores a growing shift in how leading companies approach sustainability -- moving beyond compliance reporting toward strategic value creation. Technology companies in particular face increasing pressure to demonstrate meaningful environmental improvements while maintaining competitive advantage.Stated Barnes, "Future market leaders understand that sustainability isn't separate from business strategy -- it's central to it. When organizations can quantify their impact and benchmark against competitors, sustainability becomes a concrete business advantage rather than a vague aspiration. It's a fundamental shift from sustainability as compliance to sustainability as value creation."About ValuufyValuufy, Inc. transforms how organizations measure and create sustainable value. Founded in 2024, Valuufy is a registered startup in Kyoto, Japan, emerging from the Value Research Center at Doshisha University and more than ten years academic value research. The groundbreaking ValuuCompass™ provides a comprehensive system for assessing impact and value creation across seven stakeholder dimensions, transforming sustainability from regulatory compliance into strategic competitive advantage.

EQS 新聞 via SEAPRWire.com / 2025-05-09 / 17:11 UTC+8 [5月9日 – 香港] 領先的全球化社交娛樂公司 – 赤子城科技有限公司（「赤子城科技」或「本公司」，股份代號：9911；連同其附屬公司統稱「本集團」）欣然宣佈，近日，中信證券研究部發佈赤子城科技投資價值分析報告，首次覆蓋並給予「買入」評級，目標價為11港元。報告指出，赤子城科技作為全球泛娛樂社交領域的龍頭，憑藉多年海外運營經驗，以「產品複製+國家複製」模式，扎根中東北非，並加快全球市場擴張步伐，正在進入「產品收穫期」，未來前景廣闊。 赤子城產品矩陣驅動高增長，複製能力築起護城河 中信證券指出，作為全球泛娛樂社交龍頭，赤子城科技近年業績增長強勁。「憑藉多年海外市場經驗，公司能夠快速實現『產品複製+國家複製』，高效落地『產品矩陣』戰略。作為一間典型的產品型公司，赤子城科技正在進入產品收穫期。」 研報認為，赤子城科技業務結構清晰，三大業務板塊形成協同增長趨勢。通過中台系統的能力複用、高比例的本地員工團隊配置、投研並舉的增長方式和AI技術的迭代，可以快速實現「產品複製+國家複製」，新產品得以精準把握市場需求並快速落地應用，以較低成本搶佔社交區域市場先機。 泛人群社交業務為公司業務基本盤，形成健康的產品梯隊。旗下共四款旗艦產品中，成熟期產品MICO及YoHo貢獻現金流，新產品TopTop及SUGO增長顯著，2024年收入分別增加超過100%及200%。中信證券表示，「短期預計2025年TopTop及SUGO仍能實現約50%的收入同比增長，中長期公司有望憑藉強大的可複製經驗，繼續打造明星產品支持業務發展。」 同時，多元人群社交業務在海外市場亦加速拓展。Frost & Sullivan 預計2026年全球多元人群規模將增長至6.6億人，該群體具備高收入、高消費及線上社交需求強烈等特徵，且行業進入門檻較高，公司率先積累用戶的先發優勢顯著。中信證券認為，公司的全球化多元人群社交平台HeeSay增長空間較大，後續有望憑藉直播玩法、東南亞及日韓等市場拓展，提升滲透率，「預計2025-2027年收入增長CAGR約25%。」 在鞏固社交業務護城河的同時，公司亦通過打造手遊與社交電商等創新業務，打造第二增長點。中信證券認為，通過戰略性選擇市場空間大但尚未飽和的休閒遊戲賽道，以及創新的產品設計、靈活的營運策略，赤子城科技旗下合成類遊戲《Alice's Dream: Merge Games》表現超預期，開始為上市公司貢獻收入。「未來，我們預計，伴隨成功經驗的積累，公司有望推出產品回收周期更短的精品新遊戲，打造新的增長曲線。」 此外，中信證券亦關注到公司旗下社交電商業務表現突出。「國內HIV藥品和成人用品的線上渠道購買需求強烈。荷爾健康是深耕『互聯網+防艾』的電商平台，是部分HIV藥品的最大線上分銷商，當前國內市佔率約50%，通過用戶、渠道及速達等優勢驅動增長。」 全球情緒價值賽道紅利持續，給予目標價11港元 中信證券認為，全球社交媒體市場空間廣闊，Grand View Research預計2030年全球社交網絡市場規模有望達3,103.7億美元，其中中東及東南亞均為當前滲透率低但用戶黏性高的高潛力市場。 研報指出，受益於石油等行業發展，中東北非國家人均GDP較高，但因自然環境及宗教文化習俗等因素，用戶線下社交娛樂受限，對線上社交娛樂有強烈需求。在「有錢有閒」的用戶特徵加持下，社交應用在中東北非市場空間廣闊。根據Verified Market Research預測，2032年中東媒體和娛樂市場有望達到820億美元。同時，東南亞年輕網民基數大，加上數字基建完善，2025年東南亞數字娛樂GMV有望達34億美元。 中信證券認為，赤子城科技專注於暫無明顯巨頭的陌生人社交賽道，隨着Z世代逐漸成為主流用戶群，陌生人社交的細分需求進一步加強，社交和娛樂之間的界線被逐步打破，滿足用戶個性化需求的社交產品將具備較高的用戶黏性。赤子城科技現有「社交+」直播、遊戲、語音類別的旗艦產品，未來將進一步探索更多細分賽道。 研報指出，赤子城科技財務表現亮眼，業績維持強勁增長、現金流充裕。2020至2024年間，營收由11.8億元人民幣增至人民幣50.9億元人民幣，複合年增長率達44.1%。同時，公司盈利能力顯著提升，社交業務毛利率持續改善，經營現金流健康，在手現金充裕，能為後續擴張奠定良好基礎。 綜合以上分析，赤子城科技長期成長潛力明顯，中信證券預測2025至2027年公司歸母淨利潤分別為9.49億人民幣、12.15億人民幣及15.19億元人民幣，現價對應市盈率分別約11倍、8倍及7倍，結合可比估值法及DCF估值法，給予目標價11港元。 未來，依托AI技術升級、新興市場拓展及全球情緒價值賽道持續爆發，赤子城科技有望持續鞏固全球泛娛樂社交龍頭地位。對於長期投資者而言，當前估值低位或是布局良機。 有關赤子城科技 赤子城科技是一家全球化的互聯網公司，2019年在港交所主板上市，股票代碼為09911.HK。 公司以「創造美好情緒價值」為願景，在社交、遊戲等領域打造了數十款面向全球用戶的APP，包括泛人群社交產品 MICO、YoHo、TopTop、SUGO；多元人群社交產品 HeeSay；精品遊戲產品 Alice's Dream: Merge Games等，累計服務過上百個國家和地區的超過10億全球用戶。赤子城科技深耕中東北非市場，並積極佈局東南亞、歐美、日韓等地區，致力於成為全球最大的社交娛樂公司。 2025-05-09 此財經新聞稿由EQS Group via SEAPRWire.com轉載。本公告內容由發行人全權負責。瀏覽原文: http://www.todayir.com/tc/index.php

Unlocking the Full Potential of GCCs: The Strategic Power of Cultural Integration
Kuala Lumpur/Bangkok/Singapore , May 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As India continues to cement its reputation as the global capital for Global Capability Centers (GCCs), a new strategic imperative is emerging—cultural integration. While talent, technology, and cost arbitrage remain key, it is the cultural maturity of these centers that now determines enterprise-wide success.In a groundbreaking new whitepaper, SRKay Consulting Group makes a compelling case for why cultural intelligence must be embedded into the operational core of every GCC. Their research reveals a clear business truth: culture is no longer a soft metric—it is a measurable, high-ROI performance driver."Embedding cultural intelligence is no longer a peripheral initiative—it’s a strategic lever that powers agility, R&D effectiveness, and global alignment across mature GCCs in India."— Santosh Panicker, Chief Operating Officer, SRKay Consulting GroupGCCs Are Evolving—But Culture Is LaggingToday’s GCCs are innovation centers, managing high impact workstreams in AI, advanced analytics, and digital transformation. Yet despite this strategic evolution, many centers still struggle with the hidden costs of cultural misalignment—delayed decision-making, compliance breakdowns, communication issues, and talent attrition.SRKay’s study, which surveyed 301 leaders across C-suite, engineering, and HR functions, found:- 60% of Tech & IT leaders report compliance delays due to governance models misaligned with local culture.- 65% of aviation GCCs face productivity bottlenecks from clashes between global standardization and regional work styles.- 55–60% of engineering heads cite persistent execution hurdles caused by poor cultural synergy.Introducing the 5-Stage Cultural Maturity ModelTo tackle these gaps, SRKay proposes a 5-Stage Cultural Maturity Model, guiding GCCs from reactive problem-solving to fully institutionalized cultural fluency. The model aligns with frameworks such as Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions and Trompenaars’ Model, enabling GCCs to diagnose and address issues around hierarchy, communication styles, decision-making, and feedback protocols.This shift, SRKay argues, transforms culture from an HR initiative into a business-critical operating system.“GCCs in India now function as strategic enablers, collaborating directly with global teams on breakthrough projects.” — Darshil Dholakia, Director of Business Operations, SRKay Consulting GroupFrom Metrics to Meaning: Operationalizing CultureMature GCCs are already embedding culture into dashboards and governance scorecards:- Cross-Team Collaboration Index: Quality of interaction between HQ and GCCs- Resolution Turnaround Time: Speed of resolving culturally driven issues- Culture NPS: Sentiment on inclusion and trustThese metrics are bolstered by AI-driven tools—sentiment intelligence, immersive VR learning for leadership alignment, and cultural playbooks embedded in collaboration platforms.“Mature GCCs in India use culture as a source of operational excellence and innovation. Embedding culture transforms it into a competitive differentiator.” — Alok Kumar, Founder & Managing Director, SRKay Consulting GroupCulture-Led Growth: The Future of GCCs in IndiaBy 2030, India’s GCC market is expected to reach USD 110 billion. This growth won’t be driven by headcount alone—but by how effectively centers adopt cross-cultural collaboration, AI-enabled integration, and inclusive leadership.“The next generation of GCCs in India will be led by executives who view cultural competence not as an HR initiative—but as a core business driver.” — Vivek Dubey, Head of Strategic Consulting, SRKay Consulting GroupDownload the Whitepaper NowUnlocking the Full Potential of GCCs: The Strategic Power of Cultural IntegrationAbout SRKay Consulting GroupSRKay Consulting Group is a global consulting firm that helps companies expand into emerging markets like India through data-led strategies, market entry advisory, and operational consulting.

Vineet Rastogi, Director of Product – India & EMEA, INVIDI, said, “It is not a question of choosing between linear and streaming, it’s about how to combine them.” Saurabh Srivastava, COO – Digital, Shemaroo Entertainment, emphasized the need for a new mindset to fully leverage CTV’s targeted and engaging capabilities. Clem Birdsall, Senior Publisher and Platform Director – APAC, Publica by IAS, also shared that programmatic buying offered more opportunities for advertisers compared to direct buying, which often has a higher entry threshold. However, Ranjana Mangla, SVP and Head of Ad Revenue, Sony LIV, Sony Pictures Networks India, underscored the challenges in building brand engagement in the CTV landscape, highlighting the need for a unified measurement system to ensure transparency. Surmising, Luke Smith, Senior Director - CTV & Online Video, APAC, PubMatic, opined that while TV has traditionally been effective for top-of-the-funnel brand advertisers, there are now unprecedented opportunities for all types of advertisers to leverage this medium.

川普可能已經重新劃定了參議院版圖 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 本文是 The D.C. Brief 的一部分，The D.C. Brief 是 TIME 的政治新聞通訊。 註冊 以將此類故事發送到您的收件匣。 總統 Donald Trump 是一位跛腳鴨總統。 這並不意味著他對共和黨的影響力——無論是好是壞——有任何減弱。 看看明年的參議院地圖，已經讓 GOP 運營人員感到消化不良，他們看著原本在正常時期很容易維持的微弱多數。 新罕布夏州和喬治亞州的頂級候選人放棄了參選，德克薩斯州正在進行一場混亂的初選，而北卡羅來納州看起來像一顆定時炸彈。 在每一個州，Trump 和他對共和黨的影響力都讓應該由頂級候選人拿下或由備受尊敬的現任者保住的席位受到質疑。 MAGA 是一種運動，但對於試圖贏得不願購買其大部分產品的選民的共和黨來說，它也可能是一種政治負擔。 在新罕布夏州，前州長 Chris Sununu 放棄了追逐即將退休的參議員 Jeanne Shaheen 席位的競選。 Sununu 是一位前白宮幕僚長和州長的兒子，也是一位參議員的兄弟，來自新英格蘭最偉大的政治家族之一。 他是一位受歡迎的州長，曾經考慮過競選總統，並且似乎非常享受他在康科德的時光。 但他有時是 Trump 的批評者，這在 2016 年啟動 Trump 軌跡的州將是一項艱鉅的任務。 Trump 說他會支持 Sununu，但沒有人會明智地押注 Trump 會信守諾言。（與此同時，前麻薩諸塞州參議員 Scott Brown 被視為共和黨在新罕布夏州席位的最佳後備計畫。他之前曾在 2014 年與 Shaheen 競選該職位；但他沒有獲勝。） 在喬治亞州，共和黨州長 Brian Kemp 本週明確表示不會與參議員 Jon Ossoff 競爭，Ossoff 被視為明年最脆弱的現任民主黨人。這位受歡迎的兩屆州長擁有強大的募款機器，得到 GOP 建制派的支持，並且擁有可與總統競選相媲美的通訊錄。 但在 2020 年拒絕 Trump 在一個 Trump 輸掉的州「找到」共和黨選票的要求後，他成為了 Trump 的死敵。 Trump 兩年後透過支持他的初選挑戰者來報復。 Kemp 獲勝了，華盛頓的一些人希望他可能是在為白宮而不是參議院儲備力量。 在德克薩斯州，參議員 John Cornyn 正在為來自州檢察長 Ken Paxton 的潛在初選做準備，這可能是本週期中最昂貴的初選。 Paxton 是 MAGA 最喜歡的人，並且在過去的瀆職指控中得到了 Trump 的公開支持，但一些民調顯示他將是大選中較弱的候選人。 一個支持 Paxton 的團體本週發起了針對 Cornyn 的第一個電視廣告週期，但不是在德克薩斯州，而是在 Trump 擁有私人俱樂部的佛羅里達州棕櫚灘播出。 作為回應，Cornyn 的團隊正在 MAGAverse 中散發一份備忘錄，顯示 Cornyn 在多大程度上投票符合 Trump 的優先事項，而不是德克薩斯州的另一位參議員 Ted Cruz。與此同時，Cornyn 正在組建他的連任團隊，其中包括一些 Trump 校友網絡的 A 級人才。 在北卡羅來納州，一個在各方面都屬於老生常談的搖擺州，參議員 Thom Tillis 正處於因不滿而引發的來自 Trump 主義者的初選的風口浪尖。 本週，Tillis 出面反對提名 Ed Martin 為 D.C. 的美國檢察官，他是首都的首席檢察官，因為 Martin 在組織 1 月 6 日導致國會大廈發生暴亂的集會中發揮了作用。 從那以後，Martin 一直是暴徒的辯護者，Tillis 認為這是喪失資格的。 Trump 在 Judiciary Committee 中不能承受零叛逃，Tillis 擔任該委員會的職位，並且面臨本月稍晚的截止日期，以將 Martin（他目前以代理身份擔任該職位）換成參議院確認的被提名人或另一個臨時職位填補者。 放眼全局，民主黨人普遍對 2026 年充滿希望，因為執政黨通常會在期中選舉中面臨損失。 但這是一個有利於共和黨在參議院中獲勝的週期。 儘管自 1992 年以來，新罕布夏州僅有一次支持共和黨總統候選人，但它仍然是一個無限紫色的州。 喬治亞州自 1984 年以來僅兩次變藍。 德克薩斯州是 GOP 的囊中之物； 儘管民主黨夢想獲勝，但上次贏得全州選舉的人是在 1994 年的選票上。 北卡羅來納州自 1998 年以來僅選出兩位一屆民主黨參議員。 但是，Trump 以個性為導向的政治品牌已經使情況比它需要的更加複雜。 Trump 與新罕布夏州和喬治亞州的潛在候選人存在眾所周知的爭執，促使他們留在場邊。 在德克薩斯州，對 MAGA 忠誠者而非受人尊敬的前參議院領導成員的跳躍式支持的前景已經擾亂了本應輕易保住的席位。 由於現任者不是白宮想要的橡皮圖章，北卡羅來納州的席位可能會被拋入不確定的境地。 總而言之，這是一個嚴酷的提醒，即雖然 Trump 永遠不會再次出現在選票上，但他的影響力將會存在。 了解華盛頓的重要事項。 。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。
樞機主教們如何選出教宗？ “`
` tags. Here's the translation: (SeaPRwire) - 來自全球各地的天主教樞機主教已經，從外部世界退隱，秘密商議誰將接替教宗方濟各。 西斯汀小堂已被封鎖，樞機主教和梵蒂岡的工作人員已宣誓保密。 要選出新教宗，133 名樞機主教中必須有三分之二的人同意一個名字，這意味著獲勝者需要至少 89 票。 以下是參與投票的樞機主教的詳細資訊。 有多少樞機主教選出新教宗？ 總共有 252 名樞機主教，但只有 80 歲以下的樞機主教才能參加秘密會議。 雖然這意味著有 135 名樞機主教有資格投票，，僅剩下 133 名樞機主教參加秘密會議。 在 2013 年選出教宗方濟各的秘密會議中，有 207 名樞機主教——其中 117 人有資格。 和今年一樣，，因此有 115 名樞機主教進入秘密會議。 樞機主教來自哪些國家？ 根據梵蒂岡的說法，將選出新教宗的樞機主教。 大多數來自歐洲，有 52 名樞機主教，17 名來自非洲，16 名來自北美洲，4 名來自中美洲，17 名來自南美洲，23 名來自亞洲，4 名來自大洋洲。 這將是首次投票樞機主教中，歐洲人不到一半的教宗選舉秘密會議，顯示出天主教會擺脫以歐洲為中心的趨勢。事實上，這將是歷史上最具多樣性的一次，部分歸功於教宗方濟各——第一位拉丁美洲教宗，他一直強調這種多樣性的重要性，並駁斥了國籍或地理位置應決定誰成為教宗的觀點。 他提升了來自幾個代表性不足國家的樞機主教，包括緬甸和東帝汶。 方濟各的一些任命來自將首次在秘密會議上派代表的國家，包括上述兩個國家、維德角、巴拉圭、海地和南蘇丹。 根據，教宗方濟各之後，歐洲在樞機主教團中仍然「過度代表」，但不如 2013 年他當選教宗時那麼嚴重。 他們計算，根據人口計算，代表性最低的地區是拉丁美洲，截至 2022 年，拉丁美洲佔全球天主教人口的 41%，但僅佔投票樞機主教的 18%。 擁有最多樞機主教的國家絕大多數是義大利，有 17 名投票樞機主教，其次是美國，有 10 名，巴西有 7 名。 許多國家只有一名投票樞機主教代表——包括秘魯、塞爾維亞、奈及利亞和斯里蘭卡。 選拔過程 教宗保祿六世於 1970 年規定，80 歲以上的樞機主教不得投票選舉教宗。 樞機主教由教宗選出，並終身任職。 有資格選舉的樞機主教中，有 108 名由教宗方濟各任命到樞機主教團，其餘則由前兩任教宗本篤十六世和若望保祿二世任命。 僅有 67 名樞機主教是由前任教宗本篤十六世提拔的，而若望保祿二世提拔了 48 名，他一直擔任教宗直到 2005 年。 其他秘密會議持續了多久？ 如果在 13 天的投票後，秘密會議仍未產生新教宗，則將在兩位領先候選人之間舉行決選。 有史以來時間最長的秘密會議發生在 13 世紀，當時教會花了將近三年——超過 1,000 天——才選出教宗克雷芒四世。 但自 1831 年以來，這個過程通常持續不到一周。 至於最近的教宗選舉，教宗方濟各在 2013 年的第三輪投票中當選，他的前任教宗本篤十六世在兩天內當選。 一般來說，時間長短取決於最初的幾次投票。 第一次投票將在投票的第一天舉行。 如果沒有候選人獲得必要的 89 票，那麼在接下來的兩天內將進行四次投票——每天早上兩次投票，每天下午兩次投票。 然後這些選票被燒毀——煙霧的顏色向外界表明是否選出了教宗。 如果從西斯汀小堂煙囪冒出的煙是黑色的，則表示尚未做出決定。 如果冒出的煙是白色的，公眾就會知道一位新教宗已經被選出。 除非選出教宗，否則每次兩輪投票後都會燒毀選票。 如果在第三天之後仍未做出決定，則投票者可以休息一天。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。
印度與巴基斯坦如何能從崩潰邊緣撤退
(SeaPRwire) - 週三清晨，印度 對巴基斯坦旁遮普省和巴基斯坦管轄的克什米爾地區發動襲擊。新德里在一份聲明中 表示，他們的目標是恐怖份子基礎設施，並且這次襲擊是對 在印度管轄的克什米爾地區發生的事件的回應，新德里將此歸咎於巴基斯坦。正如我幾天前為TIME所寫的，某種類型的印度軍事行動是廣泛預期的。 雖然新德里 將這次行動描述為非升級行動，但巴基斯坦——否認參與4月22日的襲擊——顯然不這麼認為。它 將這次襲擊（自1971年衝突以來對巴基斯坦最猛烈的襲擊）視為「戰爭行為」。它 指出，襲擊擊中了包括清真寺在內的平民目標，造成至少31人死亡。 巴基斯坦立即發動了回應，包括對印度控制的 фактично的邊界進行猛烈砲擊，印度軍方表示，這造成至少15名平民死亡。巴基斯坦還聲稱在印度管轄的克什米爾擊落了幾架印度噴射機（印度官員 承認三架印度飛機墜毀，但他們說原因尚不清楚）。 鑑於敵對行動的規模以及兩國首都的低迷情緒，局勢升級的風險極高。由於印度襲擊了旁遮普省——巴基斯坦人口最多、最繁榮的省份，也是首都和軍事總部所在地——巴基斯坦可能會選擇攻擊印度管轄的克什米爾以外的目標。這隨後增加了印度對巴基斯坦進行額外襲擊的風險，包括軍事地點——特別是如果伊斯蘭堡聲稱最初的巴基斯坦反應是針對印度軍事目標。在這種情況下，很難不擔心核升級的風險。 隨著危機的快速發展，對可能的下一步行動和反擊行動的猜測用途有限。更好的問題是，需要什麼才能實現局勢降級。許多主要國家首都——華盛頓、倫敦、利雅德、多哈、阿布達比——都與印度和巴基斯坦保持友好關係，並將在未來幾小時和幾天內致電，敦促雙方從懸崖邊退回。但只有當他們能夠說服新德里和伊斯蘭堡，選擇退出才是最符合他們的利益時，這才會有效。 在最近幾次印巴危機中，在 和 ，局勢降級相對較快。但敵對行動的規模和強度遠不及現在。最終，為了讓雙方同意結束衝突，他們需要能夠聲稱取得一場勝利，讓他們保住面子。 印度可能認為其最初的襲擊構成了勝利。其既定目標是削弱 它聲稱促成了克什米爾襲擊的激進份子基礎設施。其軍事行動確實襲擊了一些地區，特別是在旁遮普邦，這些地區以容納兩個最強大的反印度聖戰組織Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM)和Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)而聞名。（據報導，CBS News 發表了JeM領導人Masood Azhar的一份聲明，聲稱印度的襲擊殺死了他的10名家庭成員和四名「親密夥伴」。 2019年，印度因巴基斯坦和獨立分析師的批評而受到抨擊， 他們 指出，在開伯爾-普赫圖赫瓦省的襲擊原本應該擊中JeM的目標，但實際上只是擊中了樹木。）新德里可能認為它可以指出今天襲擊的規模及其地點，以向印度公眾證明這次任務已經完成。 巴基斯坦能夠聲稱勝利的標準更難以理解。理想情況下，它希望達到這樣一個地步，即它相信它已經恢復了對新德里週三上午採取的這類行動的威懾力。它也可能滿足於一項更具體的成就，這代表對印度軍隊的重大打擊；如果被擊落的印度噴射機被證實是被巴基斯坦軍隊擊落的，那麼這可能為伊斯蘭堡提供一個潛在的退出途徑。但鑑於目前的狀況，巴基斯坦已將印度的襲擊描述為戰爭行為，伊斯蘭堡可能希望對印度取得更多成果。如果巴基斯坦加強回應，印度可能不再滿足於在最初的行動後就收手。 今天，印度和巴基斯坦可以說比近年來的任何時候都更接近戰爭。風險不僅僅是局勢升級。還擔心雙方需要很長時間才能被激勵去尋求緩和局勢。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) - 川普政府上個月底簽署了一項行政命令，旨在加速批准在深海發現的關鍵礦物的海床採礦。 此舉受到了國際譴責，特別是來自專家的批評，他們表示需要對這種做法可能對深海生態系統造成的影響進行更多研究，而這些生態系統大部分仍未被探索。 今天發表在Science Advances上的一項新研究表明，我們對深海的了解是多麼的少。 根據研究，人類僅觀察到不到 0.001% 的深海海底——面積約為羅德島州的大小。 深海指的是海洋中低於 200 米（656 英尺）的部分，在這個深度光線開始消失。 儘管深海佔地球海洋環境的 90% 以上，但深海生態系統的大部分對研究人員來說仍然是一個問號。 但該區域對於維持我們的氣候至關重要——吸收了大約 90% 的多餘熱量和人類活動釋放到大氣中的大約 30% 的二氧化碳。 如果所有這些都留在地球的大氣中，那將使地球上的生命實際上不可能存在， Ocean Discovery League 總裁、National Geographic Explorer 和該研究的主要作者 Katy Croff Bell 說。 人類探索的區域非常有限，並且嚴重偏向某些地區。 超過 65% 的視覺觀察發生在距離美國、日本和紐西蘭三個國家 200 海浬範圍內，這意味著我們對深海的大部分假設都是基於一個極小的樣本量。 這就像如果我們僅根據對休斯頓、德克薩斯州較小陸地面積的 0.001% 的陸地生態系統的觀察就做出所有假設一樣， Bell 說。 為了確定我們已經探索了多少海底，該團隊利用了自 1958 年以來進行的約 44,000 次深海潛水的數據。 0.001% 還包括對未公開記錄的私人潛水記錄數量的假設。 由於對這個生態系統的了解仍然很少，許多專家擔心深海採礦可能會對環境帶來太大的風險。 三十二個國家呼籲暫停這種做法，Bell 希望這項研究表明，在各國開始在深海進行開採（以及可能無法彌補的）採礦活動之前，需要進行進一步的研究。 [我們需要知道] 我們將對深海產生什麼樣的影響，深海是否會從這些活動中恢復過來？ Bell 說。 這目前是一個很大的懸而未決的問題。 我們不想做的是對深海造成無法彌補的損害。 因此，我們確實需要關於深海的這些基準信息。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。
研究發現：擴大 Medicaid 計劃拯救了數萬人的生命
` tags. (SeaPRwire) - 由於國會正在考慮大幅削減Medicaid，這項為美國約20%低收入成人提供的醫療保健計畫，一項新的研究得出一個明確的結論：削減Medicaid將會導致人命損失。 這項發表在5月5日的 研究追蹤了近4000萬人，他們透過《平價醫療法案》在2010年至2022年間透過各州擴大Medicaid計畫而獲得Medicaid資格。研究發現，在此期間，擴大Medicaid計畫增加了投保人數，並降低了成員2.5%的死亡風險。 研究發現，與無法獲得Medicaid的州的人相比，因獲得資格而加入Medicaid的人，其死亡風險降低了20%。 簡而言之，根據Dartmouth經濟學教授Angela Wyse和University of Chicago經濟學教授Bruce D. Meyer的研究，在2010年至2022年間，擴大Medicaid計畫挽救了大約27,400人的生命。 擴大醫療保險的覆蓋範圍將改善人們的健康狀況，這似乎是顯而易見的。 但Wyse表示，實際上學者們很難證明這一點。 她說：「這項研究確實大大增進了我們對醫療保險與這個非常重要的健康結果之間關係的理解。」 Medicaid擴張拯救生命，因為它讓人們能夠去看醫生和獲得預防性護理，並從醫生那裡獲得關於如何改善生活方式的建議，她說。 該研究是迄今為止規模最大的研究之一，顯示了擴大Medicaid對健康的影響。 它還發現，獲得Medicaid資格降低了各個人群的死亡機會。 它的結論尤其重要，因為國會尋求在未來十年內削減Medicaid計畫的 。 雖然大約有7000萬美國人加入了Medicaid，但各州的數字差異很大。 這是因為《平價醫療法案》（也稱為Obamacare）允許各州將Medicaid擴展到更多人，並為他們提供一些資金來做到這一點。 自2010年《平價醫療法案》通過以來，包括Arkansas、Oklahoma和Louisiana等保守派州在內的一些州已經擴大了Medicaid。 但有12個州制定了觸發法，如果聯邦政府提供的資金減少，這些法規將自動終止Medicaid擴張，或要求對該計畫進行重大修改。 潛在的Medicaid削減極具爭議性； 一項 發現，76%的公眾反對大幅削減Medicaid。 甚至一些共和黨人似乎也對批准削減持謹慎態度。 今年 4 月，12 名保守派國會議員 致函共和黨領導人，重申他們對Medicaid的支持。 信中總結說：「我們不能也不會支持最終的和解法案，其中包括任何減少弱勢群體Medicaid覆蓋範圍的條款。」 該研究還發現，Medicaid是一種相對划算的拯救生命的方式。 拯救每條生命僅花費約 540 萬美元，與其他干預措施相比，實際上相對較低，Wyse 說。 「我非常有信心可以說，限制Medicaid的獲取將會導致更多的人死亡，這將會產生真正的人力成本，」她說。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。
