Jabatan Negara Membekukan Dana Baharu untuk Hampir Semua Program Bantuan AS di Seluruh Dunia “`

January 25, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - WASHINGTON — Jabatan Negara mengarahkan pembekuan menyeluruh pada hari Jumaat terhadap dana baharu untuk hampir semua bantuan asing AS, dengan pengecualian untuk program makanan kecemasan dan bantuan ketenteraan kepada Israel dan Mesir. Perintah itu mengancam penghentian segera terhadap banyak projek berbilion dolar yang dibiayai AS di seluruh dunia untuk menyokong kesihatan, pendidikan, pembangunan, latihan pekerjaan, bantuan anti-rasuah, keselamatan dan usaha lain. AS menyediakan lebih banyak bantuan asing di seluruh dunia berbanding mana-mana negara lain, dengan belanjawan kira-kira $60 bilion pada tahun 2023, atau kira-kira 1% daripada belanjawan AS. Perintah Setiausaha Negara Marco Rubio, yang disampaikan dalam kabel yang dihantar ke kedutaan AS di seluruh dunia, secara khusus dikecualikan program makanan kecemasan, seperti yang membantu memberi makan berjuta-juta dalam kebuluran yang semakin meluas di Sudan yang sedang berperang. Kabel itu menerangkan pelaksanaan perintah eksekutif pembekuan bantuan yang ditandatangani oleh Presiden Donald Trump pada hari Isnin. Tetapi perintah hari Jumaat itu amat mengecewakan pegawai kemanusiaan kerana tidak termasuk pengecualian khusus untuk program kesihatan yang menyelamatkan nyawa, seperti klinik dan program imunisasi. Program anti-HIV yang terkenal di dunia, Pelan Bantuan Kecemasan Presiden untuk AIDS Relief, adalah antara yang termasuk dalam pembekuan perbelanjaan, dijangka berlangsung sekurang-kurangnya tiga bulan. Dikenali sebagai PEPFAR, program ini diiktiraf telah menyelamatkan 25 juta nyawa, termasuk 5.5 juta kanak-kanak, sejak ia dimulakan oleh Presiden Republik George W. Bush. Sesetengah projek bantuan mula menerima arahan berhenti kerja pertama mereka di bawah pembekuan pada petang Jumaat. Beberapa organisasi bantuan terkemuka juga mentafsir arahan itu sebagai arahan berhenti kerja segera untuk kerja bantuan yang dibiayai AS di seluruh dunia, kata seorang bekas pegawai kanan Agensi Pembangunan Antarabangsa AS. Ramai yang mungkin akan menghentikan operasi dengan serta-merta supaya tidak menanggung lebih banyak kos, kata pegawai itu. Pegawai itu tidak dibenarkan untuk bercakap secara terbuka dan bercakap dengan syarat tidak dikenali. Penggantungan dana "boleh membawa akibat hidup atau mati" kepada kanak-kanak dan keluarga di seluruh dunia, kata Abby Maxman, ketua Oxfam America. “Dengan menggantung bantuan pembangunan asing, pentadbiran Trump mengancam nyawa dan masa depan komuniti dalam krisis, dan meninggalkan pendekatan bipartisan AS yang lama terhadap bantuan asing yang menyokong orang ramai berdasarkan keperluan, tanpa mengira politik,” kata Maxman dalam satu kenyataan. Di Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, timbalan jurucakap Farhan Haq berkata: “Ini adalah keputusan dua hala tetapi kita tetap menjangkakan negara-negara yang mempunyai keupayaan untuk membiayai bantuan pembangunan dengan murah hati.” Walaupun perintah Rubio dikecualikan bantuan ketenteraan kepada sekutu Israel dan Mesir daripada pembekuan, tiada petunjuk pengecualian yang serupa untuk membenarkan bantuan ketenteraan AS yang penting kepada Ukraine. Pentadbiran Biden menolak bantuan ketenteraan kepada Ukraine sebelum meninggalkan jawatan kerana keraguan sama ada Trump akan meneruskannya. Tetapi masih terdapat kira-kira $3.85 bilion dalam pembiayaan yang dibenarkan oleh Kongres untuk penghantaran senjata masa depan kepada Ukraine dan kini terpulang kepada Trump untuk memutuskan sama ada untuk membelanjakannya atau tidak. Pembekuan menyeluruh itu mula menguatkuasakan janji daripada Trump dan Republikan lain untuk menghapuskan program bantuan AS. Juga pada hari Jumaat, agensi Jabatan Negara yang menyelia pelarian dan penyelesaian semula menghantar panduan kepada agensi penyelesaian semula yang bekerjasamanya, dengan mengatakan bahawa mereka perlu segera "menghentikan semua kerja" di bawah bantuan asing yang mereka terima. Walaupun terdapat sedikit kejelasan dalam panduan tersebut, notifikasi itu menunjukkan agensi penyelesaian semula yang bekerja dengan pelarian, termasuk warga Afghanistan yang tiba dengan visa imigran khas, mungkin perlu menghentikan kerja mereka sekurang-kurangnya buat sementara waktu. Wakil Republik Florida Brian Mast, pengerusi baharu Jawatankuasa Hal Ehwal Luar Negeri Dewan, menjanjikan minggu ini bahawa Republikan akan mempersoalkan “setiap dolar dan setiap diplomat” dalam belanjawan Jabatan Negara untuk memastikan ia memenuhi standard mereka yang sangat diperlukan. Pembekuan itu adalah perlu untuk memastikan bahawa “peruntukan tidak diduplikasi, berkesan, dan selaras dengan dasar luar Presiden Trump,” kata kabel global itu. Dalam tempoh sebulan akan datang, standard untuk semakan semua bantuan asing dijangka akan ditetapkan untuk memastikan bahawa ia “selaras dengan agenda dasar luar Presiden Trump,” kata kabel itu. Dan dalam tempoh tiga bulan, semakan seluruh kerajaan dijangka akan selesai dengan laporan susulan yang akan dihasilkan untuk Rubio membuat cadangan kepada presiden. —Penulis Associated Press Edith M.

Agensi Persekutuan Mula Mengalih Keluar Panduan DEI Dari Laman Web Dalam Tindakan Keras Trump “` berita

Agensi Persekutuan Mula Mengalih Keluar Panduan DEI Dari Laman Web Dalam Tindakan Keras Trump “`

January 25, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - WASHINGTON — Beberapa agensi persekutuan telah mula membuang sumber untuk rakyat Amerika yang kurang diwakili daripada laman web mereka berikutan tindakan keras Presiden Donald Trump terhadap inisiatif kepelbagaian, ekuiti dan inklusi. Agensi-agensi juga telah membatalkan latihan dan kontrak perkhidmatan untuk mematuhi arahan daripada Trump, yang berikrar untuk di seluruh kerajaan persekutuan. Beliau telah menggesa semua kakitangan DEI untuk dibenarkan cuti bergaji dan akhirnya diberhentikan kerja. Dokumen mengenai DEI telah dikeluarkan daripada laman web di agensi termasuk Pejabat Pengurusan Personel, Jabatan Negara dan Jabatan Keselamatan Dalam Negeri. Alamat web yang sebelum ini membawa kepada halaman DEI kini memaparkan mesej “Page Not Found — 404” atau nota di atas bahan arkib yang menerangkan perubahan tersebut. Sesetengah bahan tersebut bertujuan untuk membantu agensi kerajaan merekrut tenaga kerja yang pelbagai dan memupuk rasa kepunyaan bagi pekerja. Pengkritik mengatakan pengurangan ini boleh mengakibatkan perubahan dramatik dalam pengambilan pekerja dan kembali kepada amalan diskriminasi pada masa lalu. Antara laman yang diturunkan ialah halaman yang dikhaskan untuk Jawatankuasa Penasihat Perbendaharaan Perasmian mengenai Ekuiti Kaum yang diwujudkan semasa pentadbiran Biden. Dorothy Brown, seorang profesor undang-undang Georgetown yang berkhidmat dalam jawatankuasa itu, berkata arahan itu mempunyai implikasi yang meluas terhadap kepelbagaian tenaga kerja. “Konservatif akan mengatakan bahawa adalah salah untuk menyasarkan seseorang berdasarkan kaum mereka – tetapi itulah yang dilakukan oleh Trump,” katanya. Jabatan Negara pada hari Rabu telah membubarkan Pejabat Kepelbagaian dan Inklusi dan mengeluarkan pautan ke pejabat tersebut daripada laman webnya. Pejabat tersebut telah diwujudkan oleh bekas Setiausaha Negara Antony Blinken dengan penuh gembar-gembira sejurus selepas beliau memegang jawatan dan telah menghasilkan laporan yang mengenal pasti strategi untuk menarik minoriti dan wanita ke dalam tenaga kerja jabatan tersebut. Pada malam Khamis, Jabatan Pendidikan mengumumkan bahawa ia telah mengeluarkan atau mengarkibkan ratusan dokumen panduan, laporan dan bahan latihan. Lebih 200 halaman yang hilang daripada laman webnya pernah mengandungi sumber dan petua yang menggalakkan sekolah K-12 dan kolej untuk mempromosikan pengaturcaraan kepelbagaian, ekuiti atau inklusi. Jabatan itu berkata ia telah membatalkan latihan DEI dan kontrak perkhidmatan berjumlah lebih daripada $2.6 juta. Halaman yang telah diturunkan termasuk “Sumber untuk Pelajar LGBTQI+”, gambaran keseluruhan undang-undang hak sivil yang berkaitan dengan “Diskriminasi Kaum, Warna, atau Asal Negara”, dan panduan bertajuk “Elakkan Penggunaan Kecerdasan Buatan yang Diskriminasi.” Satu kenyataan Jabatan Pendidikan menyatakan bahawa halaman yang dipadamkan “menggalakkan sekolah dan institusi pengajian tinggi untuk mempromosikan atau menyokong program ideologi yang berbahaya.” Trump telah menggelarkan program DEI sebagai “diskriminasi” dan menegaskan untuk memulihkan pengambilan pekerja yang semata-mata “berasaskan merit”. Kumpulan konservatif telah memuji pengurangan ini. Parents Defending Education, sebuah organisasi yang telah memfailkan saman yang mencabar inisiatif kepelbagaian di sekolah, memuji Trump kerana mengambil langkah-langkah “untuk membasmi program-program ini secara kekal.” Serangan terhadap DEI sering menyasarkan program saluran paip, yang tidak mengubah standard pengambilan pekerja tetapi hanya menggalakkan perekrut untuk melihat kumpulan pengambilan yang berbeza, seperti menghubungi universiti bersejarah Hitam, kata Antonio Ingram, kaunsel kanan di NAACP Legal Defense fund. Ketidakseimbangan berdasarkan kaum dan jantina yang dilihat hari ini adalah hasil daripada pengecualian sejarah wanita dan orang bukan kulit putih daripada peluang, katanya, dan bukannya hasil sewenang-wenangnya. Penghapusan program dan dasar untuk memastikan tenaga kerja kerajaan yang pelbagai boleh dirasai selama bertahun-tahun, katanya. “Akan ada generasi yang bahkan tidak tahu apa yang mereka terlepas kerana telah berlaku penghapusan dan semakan semula dan pengalihan semula sumber persekutuan,” katanya. “Saya rasa tragedi sebenar ialah terdapat alat yang boleh digunakan untuk mewujudkan lebih banyak kepunyaan, lebih banyak keadilan.” Di sekolah, penyokong berkata tindakan keras itu akan bermakna kehilangan sumber yang memupuk kejayaan bagi pelajar yang secara sejarahnya telah dinafikan peluang pembelajaran yang mencukupi, termasuk alat yang membantu guru menangani jurang pencapaian dan bias dalam bilik darjah. Badan Jabatan Pendidikan yang kini dibubarkan termasuk Majlis Kepelbagaian & Inklusi, yang ditubuhkan di bawah Presiden Barack Obama, dan Majlis Penglibatan Pekerja Kepelbagaian Ekuiti Inklusi Kebolehcapaian, yang ditempatkan di bawah Pejabatnya untuk Hak Sivil. Pelan Tindakan Ekuiti jabatan itu, yang dikuatkuasakan di bawah Presiden Joe Biden, juga telah ditarik balik. Menurut tangkapan skrin laman web rancangan tersebut sebelum ini, inisiatif tersebut bertujuan sebahagiannya untuk meningkatkan akses kolej, kemampanan dan penyiapan untuk pelajar yang kurang mendapat khidmat, memajukan ekuiti dalam pendidikan kerjaya dan teknikal, dan meningkatkan sumber kesihatan mental, terutamanya di kalangan belia yang kurang bernasib baik.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Bagaimana Kami Menghubungkan Sebilion Nyawa Melalui Teknologi Digital “` berita

Bagaimana Kami Menghubungkan Sebilion Nyawa Melalui Teknologi Digital “`

January 25, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Dalam dunia yang semakin digital, keterhubungan adalah suatu keperluan. Namun, hampir sepertiga penduduk dunia masih belum tersambung, tidak dapat mengakses perkhidmatan penting untuk menyertai ekonomi dan masyarakat digital global kita. Edison Alliance di World Economic Forum telah berusaha untuk mengubahnya dengan menyediakan keterhubungan digital dan akses kepada perkhidmatan kewangan, kesihatan, dan pendidikan kepada mereka yang paling memerlukan. Perkongsian kami dengan kerajaan, industri, dan organisasi bukan kerajaan memacu perubahan sistemik yang berpanjangan. World Economic Forum memainkan peranan penting dalam melancarkan dan membimbing kerja-kerja Alliance, menyediakan platform untuk pemegang kepentingan untuk bekerjasama dan komited kepada visi dengan idea dan rancangan yang boleh diambil tindakan. Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, menteri, dan ketua organisasi antarabangsa memanfaatkan kuasa perkongsian awam-swasta dan berkumpul untuk membincangkan halangan kepada keterhubungan dan mengenal pasti penyelesaian yang boleh diskalakan. Cabaran 1 Bilion Nyawa, yang dicapai oleh Edison Alliance pada tahun 2024, setahun lebih awal daripada jadual, menunjukkan apa yang boleh dicapai apabila pelbagai pemegang kepentingan berusaha ke arah matlamat yang sama. Melalui perkongsian dengan penyedia telekomunikasi, institusi kewangan, syarikat teknologi, dan pembuat dasar, Alliance menyampaikan program yang berkesan di seluruh dunia. Di India, kami menggunakan alat digital untuk menghubungkan komuniti luar bandar dengan perkhidmatan kesihatan penting. Di Afrika dan Amerika Syarikat, penyelesaian perbankan mudah alih memperkasa berjuta-juta individu yang tidak mempunyai akaun bank dengan akses kepada perkhidmatan kewangan. Di Amerika Latin, inisiatif literasi digital membuka peluang pendidikan baru untuk penduduk yang sering kurang diwakili. Setiap usaha kami menggariskan impak yang besar daripada keterhubungan digital. Bagi petani luar bandar di Kenya, ia bermakna akses kepada maklumat pasaran masa nyata yang boleh meningkatkan hasil dan pendapatan. Bagi pelajar di sebuah kampung terpencil di Peru, ia bermakna akses kepada platform pembelajaran dalam talian dan sumber pendidikan global. Bagi pemilik perniagaan kecil di Indonesia, ia bermakna keupayaan untuk mencapai pasaran baru dan berkembang. Keterhubungan, ringkasnya, adalah kunci untuk membuka potensi dan mengurangkan ketidaksamaan. Mencapai Cabaran 1 Bilion Nyawa bukan sekadar pencapaian, kerana setiap nyawa yang disentuh adalah nyawa yang diperbaiki dan satu seruan untuk tindakan lanjut. Ia menunjukkan bahawa cabaran global—walaupun betapa kompleksnya—boleh ditangani apabila kita bersatu dengan tujuan dan tekad. Tetapi kerja kita masih jauh daripada selesai. Walaupun satu bilion orang mempunyai akses yang lebih baik dan lebih komprehensif kepada dunia digital kita, berbilion lagi masih kekurangan akses kepada alat digital yang kritikal ini. Dan, penggunaan alat AI dan Generative AI mengancam untuk terus melebarkan jurang itu. Jurang digital tetap menjadi salah satu isu paling mendesak pada zaman kita, dan Alliance komited untuk meneruskan usahanya untuk menutupnya. World Economic Forum akan kekal sebagai organisasi penting untuk memajukan kerja kita. Ia adalah tempat di mana pemimpin bukan sahaja diilhamkan untuk berfikir besar tetapi juga bertanggungjawab untuk memenuhi komitmen mereka. Struktur unik Forum, yang menekankan kerjasama pelbagai pemegang kepentingan, memastikan bahawa kemajuan bukan sahaja dibincangkan tetapi dicapai. Dengan semangat inilah EDISON Alliance dilahirkan, dan inilah semangat yang akan melancarkan usaha selanjutnya untuk mengembangkan akses kepada sumber dan peluang penting. Kerja kami akan berterusan melalui inisiatif baharu seperti AI World Economic Forum untuk Kemakmuran dan Pertumbuhan di Afrika, yang dilancarkan pada Mesyuarat Tahunan tahun ini. Ke hadapan, kita melihat dunia di mana keterhubungan tersedia untuk semua yang menginginkannya. Visi ini memerlukan usaha, inovasi, dan pelaburan yang berterusan. Ia memerlukan kita untuk menangani halangan struktur yang mengekalkan jurang digital, daripada kemampuhankayan dan infrastruktur kepada literasi digital dan rangka kerja dasar. Ia memerlukan kita untuk terus bertanya soalan yang sukar dan menggabungkan sumber kita untuk menolak sempadan apa yang mungkin. Kami menyeru sektor awam dan swasta untuk meningkatkan kerjasama mereka supaya kita dapat memenuhi cita-cita yang berani ini. Bersama-sama, kita akan membina dunia di mana tiada siapa yang ketinggalan dalam era digital.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump Mengampunkan Aktivis Anti-Pengguguran Kandungan yang Menghalang Pintu Masuk Klinik “`

January 25, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - CHICAGO — Presiden Donald Trump mengumumkan pada hari Khamis bahawa beliau akan mengampunkan aktivis anti-pengguguran yang disabitkan kesalahan menghalang pintu masuk klinik pengguguran. Trump menggelarnya sebagai “satu penghormatan yang besar untuk menandatangani ini.” “Mereka tidak sepatutnya didakwa,” katanya ketika beliau menandatangani pengampunan untuk “penunjuk perasaan pro-kehidupan yang aman.” Individu yang diampunkan terlibat dalam pencerobohan dan sekatan klinik di Washington pada Oktober 2020. Lauren Handy dijatuhi hukuman penjara hampir lima tahun kerana memimpin sekatan tersebut dengan mengarahkan penyekat untuk mengaitkan diri mereka bersama-sama dengan kunci dan rantai untuk menyekat pintu klinik. Seorang jururawat mengalami terkilir buku lali apabila seseorang menolaknya ketika memasuki klinik, dan seorang wanita diganggu oleh penyekat lain ketika mengalami sakit bersalin, kata pendakwa raya. Polis menemui lima janin di rumah Handy selepas beliau didakwa. Trump mengampunkan Handy dan sembilan tertuduh bersama beliau: Jonathan Darnel dari Virginia; Jay Smith, John Hinshaw dan William Goodman, kesemuanya dari New York; Joan Bell dari New Jersey; Paulette Harlow dan Jean Marshall, kedua-duanya dari Massachusetts; Heather Idoni dari Michigan; dan Herb Geraghty dari Pennsylvania. Pada minggu pertama kepresidenan Trump, penyokong anti-pengguguran telah meningkatkan seruan untuk Trump mengampunkan penunjuk perasaan yang didakwa melanggar Akta Kebebasan Akses ke Pintu Masuk Klinik, yang direka untuk melindungi klinik pengguguran daripada halangan dan ancaman. Undang-undang tahun 1994 itu diluluskan pada masa protes dan sekatan klinik meningkat, begitu juga dengan keganasan terhadap penyedia pengguguran, seperti pembunuhan Dr. David Gunn pada tahun 1993. Trump secara khusus menyebut Harlow dalam ucapan Jun yang mengkritik Jabatan Kehakiman bekas Presiden Joe Biden kerana meneruskan pendakwaan terhadap penunjuk perasaan yang terlibat dalam sekatan tersebut. “Ramai orang dipenjara atas perkara ini,” katanya pada bulan Jun, sambil menambah, ”Kami akan menyelesaikannya dengan segera.” Penyokong hak pengguguran mengecam pengampunan Trump sebagai bukti tentangannya terhadap akses pengguguran, meskipun kenyataan beliau yang samar-samar dan bercanggah mengenai isu tersebut ketika beliau cuba mencari jalan tengah dalam kempen antara sekutu anti-pengguguran dan majoriti rakyat Amerika yang menyokong hak pengguguran. “Donald Trump dalam kempen cuba untuk melakukan kedua-dua perkara serentak — bermegah mengenai peranannya dalam menggulingkan Roe v. Wade sambil mengatakan bahawa beliau tidak akan mengambil tindakan terhadap pengguguran,” kata Ryan Stitzlein, naib presiden hubungan politik dan kerajaan untuk organisasi hak pengguguran kebangsaan Reproductive Freedom for All. “Kami tidak pernah mempercayai bahawa itu adalah benar, dan ini menunjukkan kepada kami bahawa kami betul.” Presiden SBA Pro-Life America Marjorie Dannenfelser mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Trump kerana “segera menunaikan janjinya” untuk mengampunkan penunjuk perasaan tersebut, dengan menyatakan pendakwaan mereka adalah bermotifkan politik. Kumpulan undang-undang Thomas More Society berhujah bahawa defendan Akta FACE yang mereka wakili telah “dipenjara secara tidak adil” dalam surat Januari kepada Trump. Kumpulan itu telah memastikan defendan bahawa Trump akan menyemak kes mereka dan mengampunkan mereka apabila beliau memegang jawatan, menurut surat tersebut. “Hari ini, kebebasan bergema di negara kita yang hebat,” kata Steve Crampton, penasihat kanan untuk Thomas More Society, pada hari Khamis, sambil menambah, ”Apa yang berlaku kepada mereka tidak akan dapat dipadamkan, tetapi pengampunan hari ini adalah langkah besar ke arah memulihkan keadilan.” Senator Republikan Josh Hawley, antara penyokong paling setia Trump, memanggil pendakwaan penunjuk perasaan anti-pengguguran sebagai “serangan yang mengerikan terhadap prinsip-prinsip negara ini” dan menggesa Trump untuk mengampunkan mereka semasa membacakan kisah penunjuk perasaan anti-pengguguran tersebut di dewan Senat pada hari Khamis. Beliau mengetengahkan Eva Edl, yang terlibat dalam sekatan klinik Tennessee pada tahun 2021 dan kisahnya telah mendapat perhatian daripada kumpulan anti-pengguguran kebangsaan terbesar. Hawley berkata beliau “mempunyai perbualan yang hebat” pada pagi Khamis dengan Trump mengenai penunjuk perasaan tersebut. Berita pengampunan itu datang sebelum protes anti-pengguguran tahunan March for Life pada hari Jumaat di Washington, di mana presiden dijangka akan berucap kepada orang ramai menerusi video.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump Tandatangan Perintah Meminta Pembangunan AI ‘Bebas Dari Bias Ideologi’ berita

Trump Tandatangan Perintah Meminta Pembangunan AI ‘Bebas Dari Bias Ideologi’

January 25, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Donald Trump menandatangani perintah eksekutif mengenai kecerdasan buatan pada hari Khamis yang akan membatalkan dasar-dasar kerajaan terdahulu yang menurut perintahnya "bertindak sebagai halangan kepada inovasi AI Amerika." Untuk mengekalkan kepimpinan global dalam teknologi AI, "kita mesti membangunkan sistem AI yang bebas daripada bias ideologi atau agenda sosial yang direka," kata perintah Trump. Perintah baharu itu tidak menamakan dasar sedia ada yang menghalang pembangunan AI tetapi bertujuan untuk mengesan dan menyemak "semua dasar, arahan, peraturan, perintah, dan tindakan lain yang diambil" sebagai hasil daripada perintah eksekutif AI yang menyeluruh daripada bekas Presiden Joe Biden, yang dibatalkan Trump pada hari Isnin. Sebarang tindakan era Biden mesti digantung jika ia tidak sesuai dengan arahan baharu Trump bahawa AI harus "mempromosikan kesejahteraan manusia, daya saing ekonomi, dan keselamatan negara." Tahun lepas, pentadbiran Biden mengeluarkan arahan dasar yang menyatakan bahawa agensi persekutuan AS mesti menunjukkan alat kecerdasan buatan mereka tidak membahayakan orang ramai, atau berhenti menggunakannya. Perintah Trump mengarahkan Rumah Putih untuk menyemak semula dan mengeluarkan semula arahan tersebut, yang mempengaruhi bagaimana agensi memperoleh alat AI dan menggunakannya. Perintah eksekutif Biden, kata pentadbiran Trump, "menetapkan keperluan yang terlalu membebankan bagi syarikat yang membangun dan menggunakan AI yang akan menyekat inovasi sektor swasta dan mengancam kepimpinan teknologi Amerika." Perintah Trump juga menyeru pembangunan pelan tindakan AI dalam tempoh 180 hari. Mengetuai kerja ini ialah sekumpulan kecil pegawai teknologi dan sains Rumah Putih, termasuk Penasihat Khas baharu untuk AI dan Crypto—satu peranan yang diberikan Trump kepada usahawan modal teroka dan bekas eksekutif PayPal, David Sacks. Trump memansuhkan kawalan Biden ke atas teknologi AI yang pesat membangun hanya beberapa jam selepas kembali ke Rumah Putih pada hari Isnin. Tindakan baharu itu mengancam untuk menghapuskan beberapa usaha pentadbiran Biden—yang diperjuangkan oleh Naib Presiden ketika itu, Kamala Harris—untuk mengekang penggunaan alat AI oleh kerajaan yang telah didapati melakukan diskriminasi yang tidak adil berdasarkan kaum, jantina atau ketidakupayaan, daripada chatbot diagnosis perubatan yang mengeluarkan maklumat palsu kepada teknologi pengiktirafan wajah yang dikaitkan dengan penangkapan salah lelaki kulit hitam. Sehingga hari Khamis, tidak jelas sama ada Trump merancang untuk menggantikan dasar AI utama Biden dengan perintahnya sendiri. Trump juga telah menandatangani perintah eksekutif mengenai AI dalam penggal sebelumnya, termasuk perintah 2019 yang mengarahkan agensi persekutuan untuk mengutamakan penyelidikan dan pembangunan dalam AI yang masih berkuat kuasa. , bekas pengarah bertindak Pejabat Dasar Sains dan Teknologi Rumah Putih di bawah Biden, berkata perintah Trump nampaknya "memandang ke belakang" kerana agensi akan ditugaskan untuk menyemak inisiatif "yang sudah membantu orang ramai, dengan niat tersirat untuk membatalkannya." Dasar AI pentadbiran Biden, tambahnya, bertujuan untuk melindungi inovasi dan orang ramai. "Dalam 60 hari, kita akan tahu hak dan keselamatan rakyat Amerika mana yang dipercayai oleh Pentadbiran Trump layak dilindungi pada zaman AI, dan sama ada akan ada padang permainan yang sama rata untuk setiap ahli teknologi, pemaju, dan inovator atau hanya jutawan teknologi," kata Nelson. Sebahagian besar perintah Biden pada 2023 telah melancarkan usaha pantas di seluruh agensi kerajaan untuk mengkaji kesan AI terhadap segala-galanya daripada risiko keselamatan siber kepada kesannya terhadap pendidikan, tempat kerja dan faedah awam, dengan matlamat untuk memastikan alat AI tidak membahayakan orang ramai. Kerja itu sebahagian besarnya telah selesai. Satu bahagian utama yang masih ada—sehingga Trump membatalkannya pada hari Isnin—ialah keperluan agar syarikat teknologi yang membina model AI paling berkuasa berkongsi butiran dengan kerajaan tentang cara kerja sistem tersebut sebelum ia dilancarkan kepada orang ramai. Fokus perintah Trump terhadap "kesejahteraan manusia" menggemakan bahasa janji kempennya yang lama untuk membatalkan dasar AI Biden sebaik sahaja kembali ke Rumah Putih. Ia juga selaras dengan idea yang dikemukakan oleh penasihat Trump, , yang telah memberi amaran terhadap bahaya apa yang disebutnya "AI yang liberal" yang mencerminkan bias liberal. Dalam satu kenyataan, Americans for Responsible Innovation, sebuah organisasi bukan untung, berkata Trump telah "menjelaskan sejak hari pertama bahawa keutamaan utamanya mengenai AI ialah mengatasi inovasi seluruh dunia." "Perintah eksekutif hari ini adalah tempat letak sementara sehingga pentadbiran berpeluang untuk membangunkan strategi penuh untuk melaksanakan visi itu," kata pengarah eksekutif organisasi itu, Eric Gastfriend. Agensi telah membekukan kerja mengenai dasar AI yang dimulakan oleh pentadbiran terakhir berikutan pembatalan Trump terhadap perintah eksekutif Biden pada hari Isnin, kata Gastfriend. "Arahan baharu ini tidak sepatutnya mengejutkan," katanya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump Perintahkan Penyahsulasan Rekod Berkaitan Pembunuhan JFK, RFK, dan MLK “` berita

Trump Perintahkan Penyahsulasan Rekod Berkaitan Pembunuhan JFK, RFK, dan MLK “`

January 24, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Donald Trump telah mengarahkan pelepasan beribu-ribu dokumen kerajaan yang disulitkan mengenai pembunuhan Presiden John F. Kennedy pada tahun 1963, yang telah memicu teori konspirasi selama beberapa dekad. Perintah eksekutif yang ditandatangani Trump pada hari Khamis itu juga bertujuan untuk menyahsulit baki rekod persekutuan yang berkaitan dengan pembunuhan Senator Robert F. Kennedy dan Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Perintah itu adalah antara beberapa tindakan eksekutif yang telah diambil Trump dengan pantas pada minggu pertama penggal kedua beliau. Bercakap kepada wartawan, Trump berkata, “semuanya akan didedahkan.” Trump telah berjanji semasa kempen pilihan raya semula beliau untuk mendedahkan kumpulan terakhir dokumen yang masih disulitkan yang berkaitan dengan pembunuhan Presiden Kennedy di Dallas, yang telah memukau orang ramai selama beberapa dekad. Trump membuat janji yang sama semasa penggal pertama beliau, tetapi akhirnya mengalah kepada rayuan daripada CIA dan FBI untuk menahan beberapa dokumen. Trump telah mencalonkan anak saudara Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., untuk menjadi setiausaha kesihatan dalam pentadbiran barunya. Bapa Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, telah dibunuh pada tahun 1968 ketika beliau sedang berusaha untuk mendapatkan pencalonan presiden Demokrat. Kennedy yang muda telah menyatakan bahawa beliau tidak yakin bahawa seorang penyerang bersendirian sahaja yang bertanggungjawab terhadap pembunuhan bapa saudaranya, Presiden Kennedy, pada tahun 1963. Perintah itu mengarahkan pengarah perisikan negara dan peguam negara untuk membangunkan pelan dalam tempoh 15 hari untuk melepaskan baki rekod John F. Kennedy, dan dalam tempoh 45 hari untuk dua kes yang lain. Tidak jelas bila rekod itu akan dikeluarkan. Trump menyerahkan pena yang digunakan untuk menandatangani perintah itu kepada seorang pembantu dan mengarahkannya untuk diberikan kepada Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Hanya beberapa ribu daripada berjuta-juta rekod kerajaan yang berkaitan dengan pembunuhan Presiden Kennedy yang belum disahsulit sepenuhnya. Dan walaupun ramai yang telah mengkaji apa yang telah dikeluarkan setakat ini mengatakan bahawa orang ramai tidak sepatutnya menjangkakan sebarang pendedahan yang mengejutkan, masih terdapat minat yang mendalam terhadap butiran yang berkaitan dengan pembunuhan itu dan peristiwa-peristiwa yang mengelilinginya. “Sentiasa ada kemungkinan bahawa sesuatu akan terlepas pandang yang akan menjadi petunjuk kecil bagi gunung es yang jauh lebih besar yang akan mendedahkan,” kata Larry J. Sabato, pengarah Pusat Politik Universiti Virginia dan pengarang “The Kennedy Half-Century.” “Itulah yang dicari oleh penyelidik. Sekarang, kemungkinan besar anda tidak akan menemuinya tetapi adalah mungkin ia ada di sana.” Kennedy telah ditembak mati di pusat bandar Dallas pada 22 November 1963, ketika konvoi beliau melalui di hadapan bangunan Texas School Book Depository, di mana pembunuh berusia 24 tahun, Lee Harvey Oswald, telah meletakkan dirinya di tempat penembak tepat di tingkat enam. Dua hari selepas Kennedy terbunuh, pemilik kelab malam, Jack Ruby, telah menembak mati Oswald semasa pemindahan penjara. Pada awal tahun 1990-an, kerajaan persekutuan telah mengarahkan agar semua dokumen yang berkaitan dengan pembunuhan itu disimpan dalam satu koleksi di National Archives and Records Administration. Koleksi lebih daripada 5 juta rekod itu dikehendaki dibuka menjelang tahun 2017, kecuali sebarang pengecualian yang ditetapkan oleh presiden. Perintah itu menyatakan bahawa walaupun tiada akta kongres mengarahkan pelepasan maklumat mengenai pembunuhan Robert F. Kennedy atau King, rekod kerajaan yang didedahkan kepada umum “juga adalah demi kepentingan awam.” Semasa penggal pertama beliau, Trump berbangga bahawa beliau akan membenarkan pelepasan semua rekod yang masih ada mengenai pembunuhan presiden itu tetapi akhirnya menahan beberapa rekod kerana apa yang beliau sebut sebagai potensi bahaya kepada keselamatan negara. Dan walaupun fail telah terus dikeluarkan di bawah Presiden Joe Biden, sesetengahnya masih belum dilihat. Sabato, yang melatih penyelidik pelajar untuk mengkaji dokumen-dokumen itu, berkata bahawa kebanyakan penyelidik bersetuju bahawa “lebih kurang” 3,000 rekod belum dikeluarkan, sama ada sepenuhnya atau sebahagiannya, dan banyak daripadanya berasal dari CIA. Dokumen-dokumen yang dikeluarkan sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini menawarkan butiran mengenai cara perkhidmatan perisikan beroperasi pada masa itu, dan termasuk kabel dan memo CIA yang membincangkan lawatan oleh Oswald ke kedutaan Soviet dan Cuba semasa perjalanan ke Mexico City beberapa minggu sebelum pembunuhan itu. Bekas Marin itu sebelum ini telah membelot ke Kesatuan Soviet sebelum pulang ke Texas. King dan Robert F. Kennedy telah dibunuh dalam tempoh dua bulan antara satu sama lain pada tahun 1968. King berada di luar sebuah motel di Memphis, Tennessee, pada 4 April 1968, ketika tembakan dilepaskan. Pemimpin hak sivil, yang berada di bandar itu untuk menyokong pekerja pembersihan yang mogok, dijadualkan untuk memimpin perarakan dan bantahan tidak ganas di sana. Beliau meninggal dunia di sebuah hospital kurang daripada sejam kemudian. James Earl Ray mengaku bersalah membunuh King. Walau bagaimanapun, beliau kemudiannya menarik balik pengakuan itu dan mengekalkan bahawa beliau tidak bersalah sehingga kematiannya. Dokumen FBI yang dikeluarkan sejak bertahun-tahun menunjukkan bagaimana biro itu menyadap talian telefon King, memasang alat pendengar di bilik hotelnya dan menggunakan penyampai maklumat untuk mendapatkan maklumat terhadapnya. Tindakan agensi itu adalah subjek filem dokumentari baru-baru ini, “MLK/FBI.” Robert F. Kennedy, ketika itu senator New York, telah ditembak mati pada 5 Jun 1968, di Hotel Ambassador di Los Angeles sejurus selepas memberikan ucapan kemenangan beliau untuk memenangi pilihan raya utama presiden Demokrat California. Pembunuhnya, Sirhan Sirhan, telah disabitkan dengan kesalahan membunuh darjah pertama dan sedang menjalani hukuman penjara seumur hidup. Walau bagaimanapun, masih ada beberapa dokumen dalam koleksi JFK yang penyelidik percaya presiden tidak akan dapat mengeluarkannya. Kira-kira 500 dokumen, termasuk pulangan cukai, tidak tertakluk kepada keperluan pendedahan tahun 2017. Dan, penyelidik menyatakan, dokumen juga telah dimusnahkan sejak beberapa dekad yang lalu. —Stengle melaporkan dari Dallas.

Bagaimana Perniagaan Boleh Menyemai Optimisme Iklim dan Mendorong Tindakan “` berita

Bagaimana Perniagaan Boleh Menyemai Optimisme Iklim dan Mendorong Tindakan “`

January 24, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Sepanjang dekad yang lalu, kita telah menyedari dengan pedih bahawa krisis iklim bukan lagi ancaman yang jauh tetapi realiti hidup. Ia menjejaskan berjuta-juta orang setiap hari. Tahun lepas, dunia mencatatkan suhu melebihi suhu pra-industri buat pertama kalinya—satu peristiwa penting yang mengingatkan kita tentang keperluan tindakan segera. Kini, setiap pecahan darjah adalah penting. Setiap tahun yang dapat kita perolehi dalam tindakan akan bermakna. Setiap pemimpin yang bertanggungjawab akan bermakna. Hari ini, 68% pelanggan IKEA di seluruh dunia melihat perubahan iklim sebagai ancaman terbesar dan bimbang tentang masa depan kita. Angka-angka ini, yang dikumpul semasa tinjauan 2023, kurang berbeza antara negara berbanding yang anda sangka. Pada masa yang sama, hanya 6% pelanggan bersedia membayar lebih untuk produk dan penyelesaian yang mampan. Jangan membuat kesilapan dengan menyimpulkan bahawa orang ramai tidak kisah. Kebenarannya ialah kebanyakan orang tidak mampu membayar lebih. Mereka menjangkakan pembuat dasar dan syarikat seperti syarikat kami untuk mencari penyelesaian yang berpatutan dan mampan. Dan mereka berhak berbuat demikian. Kemampanan tidak boleh menjadi kemewahan untuk sebilangan kecil orang sahaja. Sebagai seorang pemimpin perniagaan dan bapa kepada tiga orang anak, saya melihat tiga sebab untuk menjadi sebahagian daripada usaha memimpin peralihan ke masa depan yang bijak iklim. Pertama sekali, berdasarkan fakta dan kesedaran hari ini, kita tidak boleh membiarkan generasi akan datang menanggung masalah ini. Kedua, jelas bahawa pelanggan dan rakan sekerja kita di seluruh dunia menjangkakan kita untuk memimpin. Orang ramai akan menolak jenama yang tidak melakukannya. Jangkaan bukanlah untuk kesempurnaan tetapi niat yang ikhlas dan tindakan yang berkesan. Ketiga—ini berita baik—ini bagus untuk perniagaan. Secara amnya, bijak iklim bermakna bijak kos. Pembaziran sentiasa mahal dan setiap langkah membina model perniagaan yang mampan mendorong impak positif terhadap kewangan. Sesetengah tindakan memberikan pulangan dengan cepat. Sesetengahnya mengambil masa. Sama seperti mana-mana pelaburan yang lain. Apabila kita mengalami kesakitan impak iklim hari ini dan mendengar kebimbangan yang wajar tentang masa depan kita, kita perlu menggerakkan optimisme kita. Memang benar bahawa kita tidak berada di landasan yang betul dengan matlamat Perjanjian Paris untuk mengehadkan pemanasan global kepada 1.5°C. Memang benar bahawa trajektori semasa adalah ke arah pemanasan 2.5-2.9°C menjelang 2030 yang akan membawa akibat buruk jika ia menjadi kenyataan. Pada masa yang sama, adalah benar juga bahawa kita telah mencapai kemuncak karbon per kapita dan mampu untuk menurunkan jumlah pelepasan tidak lama lagi. Sebagai sebuah syarikat, kami komited kepada Perjanjian Paris—kami mesti mengurangkan pelepasan gas rumah hijau sebanyak separuh menjelang 2030 dan mengurangkannya sebanyak 90% menjelang 2050. Ini bermaksud merentas pelepasan skop 1 dalam operasi kami, pelepasan tidak langsung skop 2, dan skop 3, yang merangkumi pelepasan daripada keseluruhan rantaian nilai—daripada bahan mentah, pengeluaran dan pengangkutan hingga penggunaan pelanggan dan kitar hayat produk. Dan ia berkesan. Sejak 2016, tahun asas kami, kami telah berjaya mengurangkan jejak iklim kami sebanyak 30.1% merentas semua skop, sambil mengembangkan perniagaan sebanyak 23.7%. Untuk membantu mencapai ini, kami telah melabur lebih daripada 4.2 bilion euro dalam tenaga boleh diperbaharui di luar tapak sejak 2009. Kami juga melabur kira-kira 1 bilion euro dalam syarikat yang berusaha untuk meningkatkan infrastruktur kitar semula. Dan langkah-langkah kecekapan telah membantu kami mengurangkan bil tenaga kami sebanyak 97 juta euro—atau 29%—berbanding lima tahun yang lalu. Sementara itu, kami telah mengurangkan pembaziran makanan operasi kami sebanyak separuh merentas perniagaan kami. Mengurangkan pembaziran, beralih kepada tenaga boleh diperbaharui, serta menyokong pelanggan kami untuk menjimatkan air, sisa, elektrik, dan wang adalah semua sebahagian daripada perspektif jangka panjang yang bijak sumber, bijak iklim, dan akhirnya, bijak perniagaan. Dan kami tidak bersendirian. Lihatlah World Economic Forums Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders, yang mempunyai lebih daripada 130 syarikat ahli. Lebih tiga tahun yang lalu, mereka secara kolektif telah mengurangkan karbon mutlak—merentas ketiga-tiga skop—sebanyak 10% sambil mengembangkan perniagaan mereka sebanyak 18%, mengatasi pertumbuhan KDNK global. Ia tidak mencukupi, tetapi ia membuktikan bahawa kita berada di landasan yang betul. Beberapa tahun yang lalu, ramai pemimpin kita membuat keputusan berdasarkan kepercayaan. Hari ini kita tahu pasti bahawa perubahan dan pelaburan kita akan memberikan pulangan—untuk manusia, untuk planet, dan untuk perniagaan. Jadi, apakah masalahnya? Kita tidak cukup pantas dan tindakan kita tidak mencukupi. Dengan lima tahun lagi sehingga 2030, kita mendapati diri kita berada di titik tengah dekad yang paling penting untuk tindakan iklim. Semua bahagian masyarakat termasuk syarikat kecil dan besar perlu bertindak terhadap impak mereka. Kita semua perlu membetulkan keadaan rumah kita sendiri dengan mengetahui jejak karbon kita dan mengambil tindakan. Kita memerlukan kerjasama yang lebih kukuh dan lebih berorientasikan penyelesaian antara pembuat dasar dan pemimpin korporat untuk menetapkan rangka kerja bagi ekonomi yang bijak iklim. Kita perlu mempercepatkan perubahan—jam krisis ini sedang berdetik. Kita juga perlu berkongsi kejayaan kita. Kepercayaan berada pada tahap terendah sepanjang zaman atas sebab-sebab yang salah. Penghijauan palsu dan maklumat salah yang disengajakan adalah tidak boleh diterima, tetapi kesunyian daripada pelakon terbaik adalah risiko yang lebih besar. Dan, kita mesti menjadi pemimpin untuk masa depan. Kita semua mesti memainkan peranan yang lebih besar dalam perubahan kolektif. Kita perlu mencabar mitos yang menghalang tindakan. Kita mempunyai penyelesaian dan wang untuk beralih ke arah sifar bersih. Risikonya bukan sahaja untuk terlepas faedah ekonomi baru tetapi juga menanggung kerugian ekonomi. Menurut laporan baru-baru ini daripada World Economic Forum, kos ketidak bertindak akan berada dalam lingkungan 10-15%, setiap tahun. Risiko terbesar sebagai pemimpin ialah mengetahui bahawa anda boleh melakukan sesuatu, tetapi tidak melakukannya. Adalah baik untuk perniagaan untuk menjadi perniagaan yang baik. Ia bijak kos. Ia bijak sumber. Dan ia bijak iklim. Marilah kita bertanggungjawab, memimpin daripada peluang. Fikirkan tentangnya: kita adalah generasi pertama yang boleh menjadi sebahagian daripada mewujudkan masa depan yang mampan yang baik untuk manusia dan planet. Itu memberi inspirasi kepada saya. Saya berharap ia juga memberi inspirasi kepada anda. Jesper Brodin ialah Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Ingka Group I IKEA, pengerusi bersama U.N.

China Medical System (00867) Obtained Class 1 Innovative Drug Long-acting Anti-IL-4Ra Monoclonal Antibody MG-K10

January 24, 2025
SHENZHEN, CHINA, Jan 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group” or “CMS”) is pleased to announce that on 24 January 2025, the Group through subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Hunan Mabgeek Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Mabgeek Biotechnology”) and its subsidiary for Class 1 innovative drug anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection MG-K10 (“MG-K10” or the “Product”). The Group has obtained the co-development right as specifically agreed upon in the Agreement and exclusive commercialization right to the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and Singapore (the “Territory”); Mabgeek Biotechnology will support the commercialization activities and is responsible for the sale and supply of the Product. The collaboration term is perpetual.IL-4Rα is considered a key target for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD), asthma, prurigo nodularis, etc. Anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibodies are among the best-selling biologics in this field. MG-K10 is an innovative long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody that simultaneously blocks the signaling of key type 2 inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-13. Following Fc mutation, MG-K10 allows long dosing interval owing to its prolonged half-life, and it is expected to be the first long-acting anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody marketed in China. Currently marketed anti-IL-4Rα drugs require dosing every two weeks, whereas MG-K10 only requires dosing every four weeks, demonstrating good efficacy and safety. MG-K10 has the potential to be the Best-in-Class (BIC).This collaboration marks another significant milestone for Dermavon (formerly known as CMS Skinhealth)’s layout in the dermatology field. MG-K10 will enrich the global differentiated innovative pipeline of Dermavon, and will strongly synergize with the existing product portfolio, such as marketed innovative drug ILUMETRI (tildrakizumab injection), marketed exclusive drug Hirudoid (mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream) and dermatology-grade skincare products of Heling soothing product series (developed for AD patients), and innovative pipeline drugs ruxolitinib cream (for the topical treatment of mild to moderate AD and non-segmental vitiligo) and povorcitinib (for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo, hidradenitis suppurativa, prurigo nodularis and chronic spontaneous urticaria), etc. Leveraging its proven clinical development and commercialization capabilities, the Group will fully cooperate with Mabgeek Biotechnology to promote the approval of MG-K10 in China, bringing a new treatment option with lower dosing frequency, good efficacy and safety to patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases in China.More information about MG-K10MG-K10 is a Class 1 innovative drug anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection that used for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases, including AD, asthma, prurigo nodularis, allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, eosinophilic esophagitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and so on. It holds substance patents in specific countries/regions within the Territory.MG-K10 has entered Phase III clinical trials in China for AD, asthma, and prurigo nodularis. In the completed Phase II clinical trials for adult moderate-to-severe AD and moderate-to-severe asthma, MG-K10 has demonstrated good efficacy and safety[1-2]. Additionally, MG-K10 has obtained IND approval for eosinophilic esophagitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and seasonal allergic rhinitis in China.According to Frost & Sullivan, the global market for treatments targeting IL-4Rα is expected to reach US$28.7 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8% from 2020 to 2030. In China, the market is projected to reach US$4.08 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 76.8% from 2020 to 2030.About AD indicationMG-K10’s first indication, AD, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by severe itching. It is the most burdensome non-fatal skin disease globally, with at least 230 million people affected worldwide[3]. AD is also a prevalent and high-burden chronic disease in China, with the prevalence showing an upward trend[3]. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, the number of AD patients in China increased by 25.65% from 1990 to 2019[3]. It is estimated that there are approximately 36.09 million AD patients in China[3], with approximately 9.625 million suffering from moderate-to-severe AD[4].Current treatment options for AD primarily include topical and systemic treatments. For moderate-to-severe AD, topical medications are often insufficient to achieve disease control, necessitating the initiation of systemic treatments. However, due to the limitations in efficacy and safety of traditional systemic therapies for AD, moderate-to-severe AD patients often experience delays in systemic treatment initiation, poor compliance, and suboptimal disease control, leaving a significant unmet need in clinical practice[3]. MG-K10, with its extended dosing interval of once every four weeks, is expected to improve patient adherence and provide a new, effective, and safe systemic treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe AD.About Mabgeek BiotechnologyMabgeek Biotechnology was founded in 2016 and has always adhered to the research and development concept of “innovation, efficiency and safety”, focusing on the fields of allergic inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases.

China Medical System（00867）Obtained Class 1 Innovative Drug Long-acting Anti-IL-4Rα Monoclonal Antibody MG-K10

January 24, 2025
SHENZHEN, Jan 24, 2025 – (ACN Newswire) – China Medical System Holdings Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group” or “CMS”) is pleased to announce that on 24 January 2025, the Group through subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Hunan Mabgeek Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Mabgeek Biotechnology”) and its subsidiary for Class 1 innovative drug anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection MG-K10 (“MG-K10” or the “Product”). The Group has obtained the co-development right as specifically agreed upon in the Agreement and exclusive commercialization right to the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and Singapore (the “Territory”); Mabgeek Biotechnology will support the commercialization activities and is responsible for the sale and supply of the Product. The collaboration term is perpetual. IL-4Rα is considered a key target for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD), asthma, prurigo nodularis, etc. Anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibodies are among the best-selling biologics in this field. MG-K10 is an innovative long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody that simultaneously blocks the signaling of key type 2 inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-13. Following Fc mutation, MG-K10 allows long dosing interval owing to its prolonged half-life, and it is expected to be the first long-acting anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody marketed in China. Currently marketed anti-IL-4Rα drugs require dosing every two weeks, whereas MG-K10 only requires dosing every four weeks, demonstrating good efficacy and safety. MG-K10 has the potential to be the Best-in-Class (BIC). This collaboration marks another significant milestone for Dermavon (formerly known as CMS Skinhealth)’s layout in the dermatology field. MG-K10 will enrich the global differentiated innovative pipeline of Dermavon, and will strongly synergize with the existing product portfolio, such as marketed innovative drug ILUMETRI (tildrakizumab injection), marketed exclusive drug Hirudoid (mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream) and dermatology-grade skincare products of Heling soothing product series (developed for AD patients), and innovative pipeline drugs ruxolitinib cream (for the topical treatment of mild to moderate AD and non-segmental vitiligo) and povorcitinib (for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo, hidradenitis suppurativa, prurigo nodularis and chronic spontaneous urticaria), etc. Leveraging its proven clinical development and commercialization capabilities, the Group will fully cooperate with Mabgeek Biotechnology to promote the approval of MG-K10 in China, bringing a new treatment option with lower dosing frequency, good efficacy and safety to patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases in China. More information about MG-K10 MG-K10 is a Class 1 innovative drug anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection that used for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases, including AD, asthma, prurigo nodularis, allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, eosinophilic esophagitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and so on. It holds substance patents in specific countries/regions within the Territory. MG-K10 has entered Phase III clinical trials in China for AD, asthma, and prurigo nodularis. In the completed Phase II clinical trials for adult moderate-to-severe AD and moderate-to-severe asthma, MG-K10 has demonstrated good efficacy and safety[1-2]. Additionally, MG-K10 has obtained IND approval for eosinophilic esophagitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and seasonal allergic rhinitis in China. According to Frost & Sullivan, the global market for treatments targeting IL-4Rα is expected to reach US$28.7 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8% from 2020 to 2030. In China, the market is projected to reach US$4.08 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 76.8% from 2020 to 2030. About AD indication MG-K10’s first indication, AD, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by severe itching. It is the most burdensome non-fatal skin disease globally, with at least 230 million people affected worldwide[3]. AD is also a prevalent and high-burden chronic disease in China, with the prevalence showing an upward trend[3]. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, the number of AD patients in China increased by 25.65% from 1990 to 2019[3]. It is estimated that there are approximately 36.09 million AD patients in China[3], with approximately 9.625 million suffering from moderate-to-severe AD[4]. Current treatment options for AD primarily include topical and systemic treatments. For moderate-to-severe AD, topical medications are often insufficient to achieve disease control, necessitating the initiation of systemic treatments. However, due to the limitations in efficacy and safety of traditional systemic therapies for AD, moderate-to-severe AD patients often experience delays in systemic treatment initiation, poor compliance, and suboptimal disease control, leaving a significant unmet need in clinical practice[3]. MG-K10, with its extended dosing interval of once every four weeks, is expected to improve patient adherence and provide a new, effective, and safe systemic treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe AD.

Additionally, administrators can configure multiple liquidity providers for any asset type. The platform also updates its risk management tools and iOS and Android mobile applications, ensuring a smoother and more intuitive trading experience for all users. Let’s explore these updates in more detail. C-Book Order Routing: New Approach for Better Pricing The new upgrade introduces C-Book routing, a new feature that adds to the existing A and B Books. The C-Book provides crypto and CFD brokers with better control over order execution and improves risk management tools.

Moreover, the admin interface can provide much more detailed reports on all orders, whether processed internally or externally. The C-Book allows brokers to manage risks more efficiently, improve the financial performance of their operations, and reduce the costs of using liquidity providers.

Moreover, flexible price streams allow brokers to manage market access for selected traders or groups, providing elevated flexibility in configuring market proposals. Multi Liquidity Providers Connections for Better Risk Management Brokers can now select from various liquidity providers for price quotes and order execution. Access to multiple providers ensures more competitive pricing, faster transactions, and greater market depth. Additionally, this feature promotes risk diversification. If one liquidity source faces issues, connections with other providers remain stable, highlighting consistent trading operations. Advanced Order Types: Take Profit, Stop Loss, and Trailing Stops In this version, B2TRADER introduces top conditional order types like Take-Profit, Stop-Loss, and Trailing Stops. These orders let traders manage their market exits, set limits for profits and losses, and handle risks more effectively, even when they are not closely watching the market. They are easy to implement, suit traders of all skill levels, and work well with multiple trading strategies. Boosted Mobile Trading Experience on Android and iOS The mobile application was also significantly improved, especially in accessibility. It allows traders to manage their accounts, monitor orders, and execute trades smoothly from Android and iOS devices. This ensures traders never miss an opportunity to make money, regardless of where they are. Here are the highlights of this upgraded feature. Intuitive User Experience The mobile app integrates all essential functionalities, replicating the desktop experience to boost user satisfaction. Flexible Account Management Anytime, Anywhere With the new mobile app update, traders can control their portfolios and positions from any location at any time with capabilities similar to those of the desktop version.

World’s First Successful Transmission of Huge Volume Mission Data Using 1.5 micron Optical Inter-Satellite Communication JCN Newswire

World’s First Successful Transmission of Huge Volume Mission Data Using 1.5 micron Optical Inter-Satellite Communication

January 24, 2025
TOKYO, Jan 24, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and NEC Corporation, the prime contractor of the laser-communication terminals for the Laser Utilizing Communication System (LUCAS)(1), performed the world's fastest optical communication (wavelength band: 1.5 μm, communication speed: 1.8 Gbps) using LUCAS between the Advanced Land Observing Satellite-4 "DAICHI-4" (ALOS-4)(2) and the Optical Data Relay Satellite in geostationary orbit at a distance of about 40,000 km, and successfully completed the first transmission of observation data to a ground station through the geostationary satellite.Figure 1: Observation image of "DAICHI-4" transmitted by LUCAS. Observed in the initial calibration and validation phase. Downlinked a zonal range of observation data at once, successfully acquired a large amount of data immediately, which would typically require division into multiple paths for direct transmission to a ground station. (Above images, processed with pseudo-color, such as the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean are enlarged to highlight a specific portion of observation area). ©JAXAIn October 2024, JAXA and NEC successfully achieved the optical inter-satellite communication(3) between "DAICHI-4" equipped with the Optical Leo Laser Communication Terminal (OLLCT) dedicated to an Earth observation satellite and the Optical Data Relay Satellite equipped with the Optical Geo Laser Communication Terminal (OGLCT) dedicated to a geostationary satellite, and we have continued technical demonstrations. As a result, we successfully transmitted "DAICHI-4" observation data using optical communication. The success of this data transmission utilizing LUCAS enables immediate downlinking of a large amount of observation data which is difficult to achieve through direct communication to ground stations in areas lacking accessible ground stations. Figure 1 shows the first image downlinked through LUCAS, generated from a large amount of mission data observed by "DAICHI-4" over approximately 30 minutes, traversing the Arctic, Europe, and the African continent. While direct transmission to ground stations requires multiple transmissions, the use of LUCAS narrowed the acquisition of observation data of vast areas to a single transmission.OGLCT: Laser-communication terminal aboard the GEO (Geostationary) satellite(Optical inter-satellite communication instrument for GEO satellite)Above photographs show only the optical components of the laser communication terminals mounted on the exterior of the satellites.The optical component of OLLCT is smaller than that of OGLCT, resulting in improved mountability due to its reduced size.Fig. 2: Overview of LUCAS ©JAXA/NECLaser light has a bandwidth that is orders of magnitude wider than that of radio waves (5 THz in the 1.5 μm wavelength band), allowing it to transmit more information than radio waves. In addition, by using highly focused beams, there is little risk of interference or eavesdropping. The use of laser light is essential for achieving high-speed, high-capacity communications in space in the future. In LUCAS, optical communication has been adopted in the data relay system onboard the geostationary satellite. By using optical communication between the Earth observation satellite and the geostationary satellite, LUCAS enables data transmission from the Earth observation satellite at "1.8 Gbps", that is a speed 7.5 times faster than the "240 Mbps" transmission rate of the Data Relay Test Satellite "KODAMA" (DRTS)(4) using previous generation radio waves. (Figure 3)Figure 3: LUCAS enables high-speed/large-capacity data transmission at a speed of 1.8 Gbps via optical communication © JAXA/NECThere is a distance of about 40,000 km between "DAICHI-4" in low orbit and the Optical Data Relay Satellite in geostationary orbit. The acquisition and communication of the counterpart satellite, which is moving at high speeds, requires precise optical systems and their control technology. Specifically, while the Optical Data Relay Satellite in geostationary orbit at an altitude of about 36,000 km moves at about 3.1 km/second and the Earth observation satellite in low orbit circles at about 7.6 km/second, it is essential to continuously direct the laser beam, which expands only about 500 m, accurately to the counterpart satellite even at a distance of 40,000 km. To achieve this, high-output optical amplification technology for the laser light and acquisition and tracking technology to direct the laser light towards the counterpart satellite are required.In this project, NEC developed the overall system design of LUCAS and both the laser communication terminals for the Optical Data Relay Satellite and the Earth observation satellite, the key components of LUCAS(5). The use of the 1.5 μm band, which is the hallmark of LUCAS, was based on NEC’s development achievements in terrestrial and underwater optical fiber communication systems and was also developed in anticipation of integration with this system in the future. Although the 1.5 μm band is relatively deficient in power efficiency, the recent success in long-distance high-speed transmission between the geostationary satellite and the low earth orbit satellite is expected to accelerate its utilization in space-based optical communication."DAICHI-4" also carries SPAISE3 (Space-based Automatic Identification System Experiment3)(6) developed by JAXA and NEC, which particularly observes vessels in crowded maritime areas. Also for the observation data of SPAISE3, the optical communication makes it possible to transmit a large amount of data in real time. Like this, high-speed data communication using LUCAS contributes to the utilization and promotion(7) of not only SAR data but also various data of other satellites, thereby playing a role as a social infrastructure that protects people's lives and safety.JAXA and NEC have been engaging in optical communication in space since the 1990s. Optical communication in space is also identified as a technology of strategic importance in the Space Technology Strategy formulated by the Japanese government for fiscal year 2023. JAXA has advanced research and development in optical communication as a solution to the increasing capacity and immediacy requirements of data transmission for future Earth observation satellites. NEC has been responsible for designing the LUCAS system, manufacturing laser communication terminals, supporting satellite system tests, and managing the initial functional verification operations of satellite systems. Building on this success, we will continue to contribute to the advancement of Japan's space development by accelerating the technological development of the optical inter-satellite communication in collaboration with related organizations and partners.(1) LUCAS: Laser Utilizing Communication System, developed and being operated by JAXA, is a system that enables data relay between an Earth observation satellite (low orbit satellite) and an optical data relay satellite (geostationary satellite) through optical communication in space using invisible laser light with a wavelength of 1.5 µm. www.satnavi.jaxa.jp/ja/project/lucas/ (Japanese Only)(2) Earth observation satellite developed and being operated by JAXA.

Putera Mahkota MBS Arab Saudi Beritahu Trump Mahu Melabur $600 Bilion di AS “` berita

Putera Mahkota MBS Arab Saudi Beritahu Trump Mahu Melabur $600 Bilion di AS “`

January 23, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - DUBAI, Emiriah Arab Bersatu — Putera Mahkota Arab Saudi berkata pada hari Khamis bahawa kerajaan itu ingin melabur $600 bilion di Amerika Syarikat dalam tempoh empat tahun akan datang, komen yang dibuat selepas Presiden Donald Trump sebelum itu meletakkan harga untuk kembali ke kerajaan itu sebagai lawatan luar negaranya yang pertama. Trump telah membelakangkan tradisi presiden AS yang biasanya memulakan lawatan luar negara mereka yang pertama ke United Kingdom. Ia juga menggariskan hubungan rapat pentadbirannya dengan pemerintah negara-negara kaya minyak Teluk kerana syarikat hartanah miliknya sendiri juga telah menjalankan perjanjian di seluruh rantau ini. Komen daripada Putera Mahkota, yang dilaporkan awal Khamis oleh Agensi Akhbar Saudi yang dikawal kerajaan, dibuat dalam panggilan telefon dengan Trump. “Putera Mahkota menegaskan niat kerajaan untuk meluaskan pelaburan dan perdagangannya dengan Amerika Syarikat dalam tempoh empat tahun akan datang, berjumlah $600 bilion, dan berpotensi melebihi jumlah itu,” kata laporan itu. Laporan itu tidak memperincikan di mana pelaburan dan perdagangan itu boleh diletakkan. Amerika Syarikat dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini semakin mengurangkan pergantungannya kepada eksport minyak Saudi, yang pernah menjadi asas hubungan mereka selama beberapa dekad. Dana kekayaan berdaulat Saudi telah mengambil pegangan besar dalam perniagaan Amerika sambil juga melihat kepada sukan. Walau bagaimanapun, Arab Saudi bergantung terutamanya kepada senjata dan sistem pertahanan buatan Amerika Syarikat, yang mungkin menjadi sebahagian daripada pelaburan itu. Tiada maklumat segera daripada Rumah Putih mengenai panggilan itu. Ia juga tidak jelas sama ada panggilan Trump dengan putera mahkota adalah yang pertama dengan pemimpin asing sejak kembali ke Rumah Putih. Walau bagaimanapun, ia adalah yang pertama dilaporkan di luar negara. Putera Mahkota, pemerintah de facto kerajaan kaya minyak itu, juga bercakap dengan Setiausaha Negara Amerika Syarikat Marco Rubio awal Khamis. Pada hari Isnin selepas pelantikannya, Trump bercakap tentang kemungkinan pergi ke kerajaan itu sekali lagi sebagai lawatan luar negaranya yang pertama, seperti yang dilakukannya pada tahun 2017. “Lawatan luar negara yang pertama biasanya ke UK tetapi … saya melakukannya dengan Arab Saudi kali terakhir kerana mereka bersetuju untuk membeli produk kami bernilai $450 bilion,” kata Trump kepada wartawan di Pejabat Oval. “Jika Arab Saudi mahu membeli $450 bilion atau $500 lagi—kita akan menaikkannya untuk semua inflasi—saya rasa saya mungkin akan pergi.” Lawatan 2017 ke kerajaan itu telah memulakan boikot selama bertahun-tahun terhadap Qatar oleh empat negara Arab, termasuk kerajaan itu. Trump mengekalkan hubungan rapat dengan Arab Saudi, walaupun selepas Putera Mohammed terlibat dalam pembunuhan dan pemotongan anggota badan kolumnis Washington Post di Istanbul pada tahun 2018. Kerajaan itu juga telah bercakap selama bertahun-tahun dengan Amerika Syarikat mengenai perjanjian yang lebih luas untuk mengiktiraf Israel secara diplomatik sebagai balasan untuk perlindungan pertahanan AS dan sokongan lain. Ikrar $600 bilion, yang jauh lebih besar daripada Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) banyak negara, juga datang ketika kerajaan itu menghadapi tekanan bajet sendiri. Harga minyak global kekal rendah bertahun-tahun selepas kemuncak pandemik koronavirus, menjejaskan pendapatan kerajaan itu. Sementara itu, Putera Mohammed juga ingin meneruskan projeknya bernilai $500 bilion di NEOM, sebuah bandar baharu di padang pasir barat Arab Saudi di Laut Merah. Ia juga perlu membina berbilion-bilion dolar infrastruktur baharu menjelang menjadi tuan rumah Piala Dunia FIFA 2034.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
