Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Intel, Pat Gelsinger, Bersara

December 3, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Intel, Pat Gelsinger, telah bersara, dengan David Zinsner dan Michelle Johnston Holthaus dilantik sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif sementara bersama. Gelsinger, yang kerjayanya telah mencecah lebih 40 tahun, juga meletakkan jawatan daripada lembaga pengarah syarikat. Beliau memulakan kerjaya di Intel pada tahun 1979 dan merupakan Ketua Pegawai Teknologi pertama syarikat itu. Beliau kembali ke Intel sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif pada tahun 2021. Intel berkata pada hari Isnin bahawa ia akan menjalankan pencarian untuk Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif yang baru. Zinsner ialah naib presiden eksekutif dan ketua pegawai kewangan di Intel. Holthaus telah dilantik ke jawatan baharu Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Produk Intel, yang termasuk kumpulan pengkomputeran pelanggan, kumpulan pusat data dan AI dan kumpulan Rangkaian dan Edge. Frank Yeary, pengerusi bebas lembaga Intel, akan menjadi pengerusi eksekutif sementara. “Pat menghabiskan tahun-tahun pembentukannya di Intel, kemudian kembali pada masa yang kritikal untuk syarikat itu pada tahun 2021,” kata Yeary dalam satu kenyataan. “Sebagai seorang pemimpin, Pat telah membantu melancarkan dan meremajakan pembuatan proses dengan melabur dalam pembuatan semikonduktor canggih, sambil berusaha tanpa lelah untuk memacu inovasi di seluruh syarikat.” Minggu lalu, ia didedahkan bahawa pentadbiran Biden bercadang untuk mengurangkan sebahagian daripada $8.5 bilion pembiayaan persekutuan Intel untuk kilang cip komputer di seluruh negara, menurut tiga orang yang biasa dengan geran itu yang bercakap dengan syarat tidak mahu dikenali untuk membincangkan perbualan peribadi. Pengurangan itu sebahagian besarnya merupakan hasil daripada $3 bilion yang juga diterima Intel untuk menyediakan cip komputer kepada tentera. Presiden Joe Biden mengumumkan perjanjian untuk menyediakan Intel dengan sehingga $8.5 bilion pembiayaan langsung dan $11 bilion pinjaman pada bulan Mac. Perubahan kepada pembiayaan Intel tidak berkaitan dengan rekod kewangan atau pencapaian syarikat, kata orang yang biasa dengan geran itu kepada The Associated Press. Pada bulan Ogos, pengeluar cip itu mengumumkan bahawa ia akan mengurangkan 15% daripada tenaga kerjanya — kira-kira 15,000 pekerjaan — dalam usaha untuk memulihkan perniagaannya untuk bersaing dengan pesaing yang lebih berjaya seperti Nvidia dan AMD. Tidak seperti beberapa pesaingnya, Intel mengeluarkan cip selain daripada mereka bentuknya. Saham syarikat Santa Clara, California, itu meningkat lebih daripada 4% dalam perdagangan prapasaran.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Naib Presiden Filipina Menghadapi Pertuduhan Pendakwaan Atas Ugutan terhadap Presiden “` berita

Naib Presiden Filipina Menghadapi Pertuduhan Pendakwaan Atas Ugutan terhadap Presiden “`

December 3, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - MANILA — Satu petisyen pendakwaan telah difailkan pada hari Isnin terhadap Naib Presiden Filipina, Sara Duterte, yang menghadapi tekanan undang-undang berhubung ugutan yang beliau lakukan terhadap Presiden dan peranan yang didakwanya dalam pembunuhan di luar undang-undang suspek dadah, rasuah dan kegagalan untuk menentang serangan China di Laut China Selatan yang dipertikaikan. Usaha pendakwaan yang difailkan oleh beberapa aktivis masyarakat sivil yang terkenal di Dewan Perwakilan menuduh Duterte melanggar Perlembagaan negara, pengkhianatan amanah awam dan "jenayah berat" lain, termasuk ugutan bunuh yang beliau lakukan terhadap Presiden, isterinya dan speaker Dewan Perwakilan. Duterte tidak segera mengeluarkan sebarang respons terhadap usaha pendakwaan itu, yang menuduhnya melakukan kira-kira dua dozen kesalahan yang didakwa. “Kami berharap dengan aduan ini, kita dapat menamatkan mimpi ngeri yang telah dibawa oleh Naib Presiden kita kepada rakyat,” kata Wakil Percival Cendana, yang memberikan pengesahan yang diperlukan bagi aduan tersebut. Ugutan Naib Presiden menunjukkan “tahap ketidakmampuan mental responden, kerosakan moral dan kekurangan kecergasan mental untuk terus memegang jawatan tinggi Naib Presiden Filipina,” menurut salinan aduan yang dilihat oleh Associated Press. “Perkara yang sama bukan sahaja merupakan pengkhianatan amanah awam tetapi juga jenayah berat yang akan menjamin pemecatan beliau daripada jawatan dengan serta-merta.” Duterte, seorang peguam berusia 46 tahun, juga dituduh dalam aduan itu memiliki kekayaan yang tidak dapat dijelaskan dan membenarkan berterusan pembunuhan di luar undang-undang suspek dadah yang dimulakan oleh bapanya, bekas datuk bandar Davao City di selatan, ketika beliau memegang jawatan itu pada masa lalu. Masalah undang-undang Naib Presiden telah berlaku dengan latar belakang perbalahan politiknya yang semakin pahit dengan Presiden Marcos dan sekutunya. Beliau berkata dalam sidang akhbar dalam talian pada 23 November bahawa beliau telah mengupah seorang pembunuh upahan untuk membunuh Marcos, isterinya dan Speaker Martin Romualdez jika beliau dibunuh, satu ugutan yang beliau amarkan bukan gurauan. Beliau kemudian berkata bahawa beliau tidak mengancamnya tetapi menyatakan kebimbangan tentang keselamatannya sendiri. Aduan pendakwaan itu akan diteliti oleh Kongres Filipina, yang didominasi oleh sekutu Marcos dan sepupunya serta penyokong utama, Romualdez, yang juga berselisih faham secara politik dengan Naib Presiden. Proses itu mungkin mengambil masa beberapa minggu atau bulan. Kongres akan memulakan rehat Krismas pada 20 Disember dan bersambung pada 13 Januari. Ramai penggubal undang-undang kemudian akan memulakan kempen untuk pilihan raya semula sebelum pilihan raya pertengahan pada 12 Mei. Dewan telah menyiasat dakwaan salah guna dana sulit dan risikan berjumlah 612.5 juta peso ($10.3 juta) yang diterima oleh pejabat Duterte sebagai Naib Presiden dan setiausaha pendidikan. Beliau telah meninggalkan jawatan pendidikan. Beliau telah enggan menjawab soalan secara terperinci dalam perbicaraan televisyen yang tegang. Duterte juga membantah dengan hebat apabila ketua kakitangannya, Zuleika Lopez, diperintahkan ditahan sementara kerana didakwa menghalang siasatan. Lopez telah dibebaskan daripada tahanan hospital. Polis Filipina telah memfailkan aduan jenayah terhadap Duterte dan kakitangan keselamatannya kerana didakwa menyerang pihak berkuasa dan tidak mematuhi arahan dalam pergaduhan di Kongres berhubung penahanan Lopez. Duterte telah menuduh Marcos, isterinya dan Romualdez melakukan rasuah, kepimpinan yang lemah dan cuba menyekat beliau kerana spekulasi bahawa beliau mungkin akan mencalonkan diri sebagai presiden pada tahun 2028. National Bureau of Investigation telah memanggil Duterte untuk berdepan dengan penyiasat mengenai ugutannya terhadap mereka. Polis, tentera dan penasihat keselamatan negara segera meningkatkan keselamatan Marcoses selepas ugutan tersebut. Presiden telah berkata bahawa pendakwaan terhadap Duterte akan membazirkan masa sementara negara menghadapi cabaran lain, tetapi pihak pembangkang telah berkata bahawa mereka akan meneruskan untuk memupuk akauntabiliti dan kedaulatan undang-undang. Marcos dan Duterte memenangi kemenangan besar sebagai pasangan calon dalam pilihan raya 2022 tetapi sejak itu berselisih faham mengenai perbezaan utama. Kedua-dua jawatan dipilih secara berasingan di Filipina, yang mengakibatkan pesaing menduduki jawatan politik tertinggi negara. Marcos dan Duterte berbeza dalam pendekatan mereka terhadap tuntutan wilayah China di Laut China Selatan dan pandangan mereka tentang tindakan keras dadah yang membawa maut yang dijalankan oleh bapa Duterte, Rodrigo Duterte, yang merupakan Presiden sebelumnya selain bekas datuk bandar Davao. Pengadu dalam pendakwaan itu, termasuk bekas pegawai tentera daripada kumpulan yang dipanggil Magdalo, menuduhnya enggan mengutuk tindakan agresif China terhadap pasukan Filipina di Laut China Selatan. Pengadu tidak menyebut nama China. Tindakan keras dadah yang kejam itu menyebabkan beribu-ribu suspek kebanyakannya miskin terbunuh dalam pembunuhan kebanyakannya oleh polis yang sedang disiasat oleh Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa sebagai kemungkinan jenayah terhadap kemanusiaan. Aduan pendakwaan itu memetik saksi utama pembunuhan itu, bekas pegawai polis Arturo Lascanas, sebagai berkata bahawa Sara Duterte membenarkan pembunuhan di luar undang-undang suspek dadah diteruskan di bandar Davao ketika beliau berkhidmat sebagai datuk bandar. Tindakan keras dadah itu dilancarkan oleh bapanya ketika beliau menjadi datuk bandar. — Wartawan Associated Press Aaron Favila dan Joeal Calupitan menyumbang kepada laporan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Military Metals Responds to China’s Export Ban on Critical Minerals ACN Newswire

Military Metals Responds to China’s Export Ban on Critical Minerals

December 3, 2024
Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - December 3, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") a leading North American exploration company focused on critical minerals, acknowledges today's announcement by China banning exports of gallium, germanium, and antimony to the United States. This move underscores the urgent need for Western nations to secure reliable long-term sources of these essential materials.Antimony, a critical component in military applications, energy storage, and advanced manufacturing, is now at the forefront of the global supply chain crisis. China's ban, coupled with existing restrictions that came into effect September 15, 2024, has already sent antimony prices soaring by over 228% this year(1). The Western world faces mounting pressure to address its reliance on China for strategic resources critical to national defense and technological innovation. This ban comes at a time when defense sector inventories are at already concerningly low levels.(2)Military Metals recent antimony mineral project acquisitions in Slovakia, Nova Scotia, and Nevada provide shareholders with a pure antimony play with a diverse portfolio in top jurisdictions."This announcement from China reinforces the importance of Military Metals' mission to secure a sustainable, independent future supply chain for critical minerals," said Scott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals Corp. "The West can no longer afford to rely on adversarial nations for resources essential to our security and economic stability. We are taking proactive steps to meet this growing demand with future domestic and allied sources of antimony."As geopolitical tensions escalate and the trade war intensifies, Military Metals will continue to prioritize the development of critical mineral resources and work closely with governments and industry partners to ensure the West remains resilient and self-sufficient.About Military Metals Corp.

Machine learning used to optimise polymer production ACN Newswire

Machine learning used to optimise polymer production

December 3, 2024
TSUKUBA, Japan, Dec 2, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Polymers, such as plastics, are essential in many aspects of life and industry, from packaging and cars to medical devices and optic fibres. Their value comes from diverse properties that are largely determined by their monomers – the single chemical units – that make up a polymer. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to control the chemical behaviour of monomers during manufacture to achieve a desired outcome.The flow synthesis reactor with two bottles containing a monomer, initiator and solvent mixed using a micromixer. The synthesis is controlled with AI-based design of experimental conditions such as the temperature and a flow rate. Now, a team of researchers led by Professor Mikiya Fujii of the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan have used machine learning to mathematically model the polymerization process and reduce the need for time-consuming and expensive experimentation. Their results have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods.Machine learning algorithms need data, so the researchers designed a polymerization process that would quickly and efficiently generate experimental data to feed into the mathematical model. The target molecule was a styrene-methyl methacrylate co-polymer, which was made by mixing styrene and methyl methacrylate monomers, both already dissolved in a solvent with an added initiator substance, then heating them in a water bath.The team also used a method called flow synthesis, in which the two monomer solutions are mixed and heated in a constant flow. This allows for better mixing, more efficient heating, and more precise control of heating time and flow rate, which makes it ideal for use with machine learning.The modelling evaluated the effect of five key variables in the polymerization process: the concentration of the initiator, the ratio of solvent to monomer, the proportion of styrene, the temperature of the reaction, and the time spent in the water bath. The goal was to have an end product with as close to 50% styrene as possible.Once enough experimental data was available, the machine learning process took only five cycles of calculation to achieve the ideal proportion of styrene to methyl methacrylate. The results showed that the key was a lower temperature and longer time in the water bath, as well as lowering the relative concentration of the monomer in the solvent. The researchers were surprised to discover that the solvent concentration was just as important as the proportion of monomers going into the mix.“Our results demonstrate that machine learning not only can explicitly reveal what humans may have implicitly taken for granted but can also provide new insights that weren’t recognized before,” Professor Mikiya Fujii says. “The use of machine learning in chemistry could open the door for smarter, greener manufacturing processes with reduced waste and energy consumption.”Further informationMikiya FujiiNara Institute of Science and TechnologyEmail: fujii.mikiya@ms.naist.jp Paper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2024.2425178About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-M Dr Yasufumi NakamichiSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: NAKAMICHI.Yasufumi@nims.go.jp Press release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

eBRAM Partners with Agency for Volunteer Service to Launch ‘Pro-Bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes’

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

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

The Product reduces renal re-absorption of uric acid by inhibiting Urate Anion Transporter 1 (URAT1). The results of two completed phase 2 clinical trials demonstrated favorable efficacy and safety profiles across multiple dose groups (ranging from 1 mg to 12 mg) of ABP-671. The 2 mg once-daily dosage of the Product was proved to be as effective as, or even better than, benzbromarone or febuxostat (maximum dosage of 80mg). The reduction in uric acid levels was sustained throughout the 24-hour period, with no significant safety concerns identified. This product is anticipated to offer more effective and safer treatment alternatives for patients suffering from gout and hyperuricemia[1]. Multiple patents in regard to substance and use of the ABP-671 have been granted in China.Hyperuricemia is defined as a fasting blood uric acid level exceeding 420μmol/L (7.0 mg/dL) in adults on a normal purine diet on two separate days. The deposition of urate crystals in hyperuricemia patient results in arthritis, medically termed gout. Hyperuricemia and gout can cause acute and chronic inflammatory injury in articular cartilage, bone, kidney and vascular wall, which can lead to multiple organ damage of the heart, brain and kidney, etc. The data presented in the White Paper on Hyperuric Acid and Gout Trends in China (2021) indicates that, the incidence rate of hyperuricemia is 13.3%, with approximately 177 million hyperuricemia patients and the incidence rate of gout is 1.1% in general, with about 14.66 million gout patients in China. Frost & Sullivan indicates that, the number of people with hyperuricemia and gout in China will continue to increase in the future, reaching 240 million and 52.2 million respectively by 2030. Currently, the commonly used uric acid-lowering drugs in clinical practice in China are those which inhibit uric acid synthesis or promote uric acid excretion. Due to certain limitations in the efficacy and safety of the marketed uric acid-lowering drugs, such as causing renal failure, sudden cardiac death or severe liver toxicity. There is still an urgent need for effective and safe uric acid-lowering drugs among gout and hyperuricemia patients in China.ABP-671 is currently with the potential to be the promising and safe product for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. Through this collaboration, it fills the blank in the CMS's product portfolio of the treatment of gout. Gout and hyperuricemia are both rheumatic diseases and chronic metabolic diseases, which are highly consistent with the Group's strategic layout in the cardio-cerebrovascular/ gastroenterology business and the network resources of marketed products.

VELSIPITY(R) is an effective and convenient, once-daily, oral treatment for patients with moderately-to-severely active UC that has already been approved in the U.S. and E.U., and other countries, by Everest’s licensing partner, Pfizer. In Everest territories, the Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau of the Macau Special Administrative Region, China has approved the NDA for VELSIPITY(R) in April of this year and was implemented in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area this October through the "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect" policy."Autoimmune disease is a core focus and a significant growth driver for our company. The number of UC patients in China is projected to double from 2019 to 2030 to approximately one million, highlighting the urgent need for novel treatments." said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “Previously, VELSIPITY(R) has already been approved in Macau, China, and was implemented in the Greater Bay Area through the connect policy. The company also plans to submit the NDA for approval by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) this year, with the aim of benefiting more Chinese patients as soon as possible."" This is an important advancement for etrasimod, bringing hope to patients in Hong Kong, China. This new-generation S1P receptor modulator is an oral, once-daily treatment that can provide patients with a chance for corticosteroid-free remission, mucosal healing, and rapid symptom relief, " said Prof. Wu Kaichun with the First Affiliated Hospital of AFMU who is the principal investigator for etrasimod’s Asia clinical trial. “We hope China and other Asian countries can obtain approvals as soon as possible to benefit more patients."The acceptance of the NDA was based on results from the ELEVATE UC Phase 3 registrational program (ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12) that evaluated the safety and efficacy of etrasimod 2 mg once-daily on clinical remission in UC patients with moderately to severely active UC who had previously failed or were intolerant to at least one conventional, biologic, or Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor therapy. Nearly two-thirds of patients in ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12 were naïve to biologic or JAK inhibitor therapy, and these studies were also the only studies for advanced therapies for ulcerative colitis to include patients with isolated proctitis. Both studies achieved all primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints, with a favorable safety profile consistent with previous studies of etrasimod.Everest conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial of etrasimod in Asian countries, including mainland China, China Taiwan and South Korea. This is the largest Phase 3 trial of moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis in Asia completed to date, with 340 eligible subjects randomized to treatment with etrasimod or placebo. The previously announced results of the induction period indicate that the clinical remission rate for patients treated with etrasimod 2mg was 25.0%, compared to 5.4% for those treated with placebo (difference 20.4%, p

‘Pereputan Otak’ Adalah Perkataan Tahun 2024, Menurut Oxford University Press “` berita

‘Pereputan Otak’ Adalah Perkataan Tahun 2024, Menurut Oxford University Press “`

December 2, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Jika anda terlalu lama melayari media sosial, anda mungkin mengalami "brain rot," perkataan tahun 2024, menurut penerbit Kamus Bahasa Inggeris Oxford. Setelah rundingan awam, Oxford University Press mengumumkan pilihannya—ditakrifkan sebagai "kemerosotan keadaan mental atau intelektual seseorang, terutamanya dilihat sebagai hasil daripada penggunaan berlebihan bahan (kini terutamanya kandungan dalam talian) yang dianggap remeh atau tidak mencabar" serta "sesuatu yang dicirikan sebagai kemungkinan membawa kepada kemerosotan sedemikian"—pada hari Isnin. "Brain rot" mengatasi lima finalis lain, termasuk "dynamic pricing," "lore," "romantasy," "slop," dan "demure." "‘Brain rot’ merujuk kepada salah satu bahaya yang dirasakan dalam kehidupan maya, dan bagaimana kita menggunakan masa lapang kita," kata Casper Grathwohl, presiden Oxford Languages, dalam pengumuman tersebut. "Ia seolah-olah seperti babak seterusnya dalam perbualan budaya tentang kemanusiaan dan teknologi. Tidak menghairankan bahawa begitu ramai pengundi menerima istilah ini, dan menyokongnya sebagai pilihan kita tahun ini." Penggunaan pertama "brain rot" yang direkodkan, menurut Oxford University Press, adalah dalam Walden karya Henry David Thoreau, yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1854. "Walaupun England berusaha untuk menyembuhkan reput kentang, tidakkah ada usaha untuk menyembuhkan reput otak, yang begitu meluas dan membawa maut?" tulis Thoreau dalam risalahnya mengenai transcendentalisme. Tetapi istilah ini telah mendapat perhatian baru dalam tahun lepas di kalangan Generasi Z dan milenial. "Komuniti ini telah memperhebatkan ungkapan ini melalui saluran media sosial, tempat yang dikatakan menyebabkan ‘brain rot’," kata Grathwohl. "Ia menunjukkan kesedaran diri yang agak nakal dalam generasi muda tentang impak berbahaya media sosial yang mereka warisi." Oxford University Press meraikan leksikografernya menamakan perkataan atau ungkapan bahasa Inggeris yang mencerminkan dunia dalam tempoh 12 bulan yang lalu. "Melihat kembali Perkataan Tahun Oxford dalam tempoh dua dekad yang lalu, anda dapat melihat peningkatan keprihatinan masyarakat tentang bagaimana kehidupan maya kita berkembang, cara budaya internet meresap begitu banyak tentang siapa kita dan apa yang kita bualkan," kata Grathwohl. Tahun lepas, anugerah itu diberikan kepada ""," singkatan slanga Generasi Z bagi karisma. Pada tahun 2022, ia adalah "”—merujuk kepada tingkah laku "mementingkan diri sendiri, malas, tidak kemas, atau tamak" tanpa rasa bersalah.

Kenali Kashyap ‘Kash’ Patel, Calon Pilihan Trump untuk Ketua FBI berita

Kenali Kashyap ‘Kash’ Patel, Calon Pilihan Trump untuk Ketua FBI

December 2, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Presiden terpilih Donald Trump telah mencalonkan Kashyap “Kash” Patel—seorang peguam dan bekas Ketua Kakitangan kepada Setiausaha Pertahanan Ketika Itu Christopher Miller—untuk berkhidmat sebagai pengarah Biro Siasatan Persekutuan (FBI). “Kash ialah seorang peguam, penyiasat, dan pejuang ‘Amerika Pertama’ yang cemerlang yang telah menghabiskan kerjayanya mendedahkan rasuah, mempertahankan Keadilan, dan melindungi Rakyat Amerika,” kata Trump dalam catatannya mengumumkan pencalonan tersebut pada 30 November. “Dia memainkan peranan penting dalam mendedahkan konspirasi Rusia, Rusia, Rusia, dengan menjadi penyokong kebenaran, akauntabiliti, dan Perlembagaan.” Sekiranya disahkan, Patel, 44, akan menggantikan Pengarah FBI Christopher Wray, yang dilantik oleh Trump pada tahun 2017. Wray masih mempunyai tiga tahun lagi dalam tempoh 10 tahunnya, jadi untuk Patel mengambil alih, Wray perlu meletakkan jawatan atau dipecat. Patel juga perlu disahkan oleh Senat yang kini dikuasai oleh Parti Republikan. Bercakap menerusi X (dahulunya Twitter) pada 1 Disember, Senator Chuck Grassley dari Iowa, seorang Republikan, berkata Wray telah “gagal dalam tugas asas” sebagai pengarah FBI dan berhujah bahawa sudah tiba masanya untuk “memulakan hala tuju baharu” “ketelusan dan akauntabiliti.” Beliau menambah: “Kash Patel mesti membuktikan kepada Kongres bahawa dia akan melakukan pembaharuan dan memulihkan kepercayaan awam terhadap FBI.” Trump telah menunjukkan minat khusus terhadap FBI dan jawatan pengarah FBI selepas beliau memecat bekas pengarah FBI semasa agensi itu menyiasat kemungkinan hubungan kempen Trump dengan campur tangan Rusia dalam kempen presiden 2016. Walau bagaimanapun, dalam Patel, Trump telah melantik seorang pengarah berpotensi yang telah menunjukkan kesetiaan yang melampau kepadanya. Berikut ialah apa yang perlu diketahui tentang Patel berikutan pencalonan berprestijnya oleh Trump untuk mengetuai agensi penguatkuasaan undang-undang utama Amerika. Patel bukan muka baharu dalam Pentadbiran Trump Sebelum tempoh kerjanya di D.C., Patel ialah seorang peguam bela awam di Miami sehingga beliau mengambil pekerjaan dengan Jabatan Kehakiman pada tahun 2014. Semasa penggal pertama Trump, beliau berkhidmat sebagai Pembantu Timbalan Presiden dan Pengarah Kanan untuk Counterterrorism di Majlis Keselamatan Negara. Patel sebelum ini berkhidmat sebagai Ketua Kakitangan kepada Setiausaha Pertahanan Ketika Itu Christopher Miller. Beliau juga berkhidmat sebagai pembantu kepada bekas wakil California dan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Perisikan Dewan dalam siasatan FBI terhadap campur tangan Rusia dalam pilihan raya presiden 2016. Ia dilaporkan bahawa sebelum meninggalkan pejabat pada awal tahun 2021, Trump telah mempertimbangkan untuk melantik Patel sebagai timbalan pengarah FBI. Walau bagaimanapun, dalam memoirnya tahun 2022, One Damn Thing After Another, bekas Peguam Negara William Barr menulis: “Patel hampir tidak mempunyai pengalaman yang melayakkannya untuk berkhidmat di peringkat tertinggi agensi penguatkuasaan undang-undang yang terkemuka di dunia.” Selepas Trump meninggalkan Rumah Putih, beliau nampaknya mengekalkan hubungan rapat dengan Patel. Semasa siasatan terhadap , Patel enggan memberi keterangan terhadap Trump di hadapan juri besar persekutuan, dengan menegaskan hak pindaan kelimanya terhadap perlindungan diri daripada pendakwaan. (Beliau akhirnya memberi keterangan, selepas Jabatan Kehakiman memberikannya ). Patel telah menyeru pembersihan menyeluruh FBI Pencalonan ini selaras dengan rancangan Trump untuk melakukan rombakan besar-besaran organisasi persekutuan, kerana Patel dikenali kerana dan menggariskan dalam bukunya tahun 2023, Government Gangsters, rancangannya “untuk menewaskan negara dalam.” Dalam bukunya, beliau juga dilaporkan menyatakan bahawa FBI telah “menjadi begitu berkompromi sehingga ia akan terus menjadi ancaman kepada rakyat melainkan langkah drastik diambil.” Patel telah berkongsi lebih banyak rancangan dalam temu bual selama beberapa tahun yang lalu. Dalam perbualan dengan podcast, Patel berkata pada “hari pertama” beliau akan “menutup” bangunan ibu pejabat FBI dan “membuka semula pada hari berikutnya sebagai muzium ‘negara dalam.’ ” “Dan saya akan mengambil tujuh ribu pekerja yang bekerja di bangunan itu dan menghantar mereka ke seluruh Amerika untuk memburu penjenayah,” sambungnya. Dalam temu bual tahun lepas dengan bekas Ketua Strategis Rumah Putih dan penggiat sayap kanan (dijalankan sebelum Bannon dipenjarakan), Patel mendengar Bannon berkata beliau fikir Patel akan menjadi pengarah CIA masa depan. Sebagai tindak balas, Patel berkata beliau “akan mencari konspirator bukan sahaja dalam kerajaan tetapi juga dalam media.” “Ya, kami akan mengambil tindakan terhadap orang ramai dalam media yang berbohong tentang rakyat Amerika, yang membantu Joe Biden menipu pilihan raya presiden,” sambungnya, yang mengukuhkan dakwaan Trump bahawa pilihan raya 2020—di mana beliau tewas kepada Presiden Joe Biden—adalah “.” Kehidupan Patel di luar politik Patel dilahirkan di Garden City, New York, kepada ibu bapa pendatang India. Beliau mendedikasikan bukunya Government Gangsters kepada ibu bapanya, menulis ucapan terima kasih kepada mereka “kerana berani merentasi dunia untuk mencari Impian Amerika.” Mengenai pembesarannya, beliau menulis bahawa rumahnya sentiasa “sibuk dengan adik-beradik saya, ibu bapa saya, lapan adik-beradik bapa saya, dan saya semua tinggal di rumah yang sama.” Beliau juga berkata bahawa beliau mempunyai “hubungan yang sangat mendalam dengan India,” dan dibesarkan dengan agama Hindu. Patel menamatkan pengajian ijazah sarjananya di Universiti Richmond di Virginia dan kemudian mengikuti pengajian undang-undang di Universiti Pace di New York.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Ketua Demokrat Wisconsin, Ben Wikler, Sertai Perlumbaan Kepimpinan Parti Nasional berita

Ketua Demokrat Wisconsin, Ben Wikler, Sertai Perlumbaan Kepimpinan Parti Nasional

December 2, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Pengerusi Parti Demokrat di Wisconsin, berkata pada hari Ahad bahawa beliau telah menyertai perlumbaan untuk memimpin parti nasional selepas pilihan raya yang menyapu Donald Trump dan Republikan berkuasa di Washington. “Di Wisconsin, kami telah membina kempen kekal,” kata Wikler dalam pengumuman calon beliau. “Kami mengatur dan berkomunikasi sepanjang tahun di setiap sudut negeri — kawasan luar bandar, pinggir bandar, bandar, merah, biru dan ungu.” Sejak kehilangan kawalan Rumah Putih, Senat dan Dewan, Demokrat sedang mencari kepimpinan baru untuk menangani masalah negara dengan cabaran tambahan untuk menghadapi empat tahun lagi kepresidenan Trump. Setakat ini, calon lain yang diumumkan untuk memimpin Jawatankuasa Kebangsaan Demokrat ialah Ken Martin, pengerusi Parti Demokrat-Buruh Pertanian Minnesota dan naib pengerusi parti nasional, dan Martin O’Malley, bekas gabenor Maryland dan pentadbir Jaminan Sosial semasa. DNC akan memilih penggantinya pada bulan Februari, pilihan raya yang akan banyak bercakap tentang bagaimana parti itu mahu mempersembahkan diri selama empat tahun lagi Trump di Rumah Putih. Wikler, yang dipilih sebagai pengerusi negeri pada tahun 2019, menyebut pengalamannya mengetuai usaha parti di negeri yang kurang beralih ke arah Trump berbanding medan pertempuran lain pada tahun 2024 dan di mana Demokrat memenangi perlumbaan undi ke bawah yang penting. Beliau berkata bahawa semasa penggalnya, Demokrat menukar majoriti di Mahkamah Agung Wisconsin dan memilih semula Tony Evers sebagai gabenor. Tahun ini, negeri itu mengembalikan Senator Tammy Baldwin untuk penggal ketiga dan mengambil semula 14 kerusi badan perundangan negeri, yang katanya meletakkan Demokrat di landasan untuk majoriti di kedua-dua dewan pada tahun 2026. “Apa yang telah membuat perbezaan di Wisconsin boleh membuat perbezaan di mana-mana sahaja,” kata Wikler. Wikler, 43, telah berkhidmat sebagai pengarah Washington untuk MoveOn.org, sebuah kumpulan advokasi progresif dan sebagai pengarah kempen untuk Avaaz, sebuah kumpulan yang menggerakkan ahli untuk menangani isu-isu seperti kemiskinan, perubahan iklim dan hak asasi manusia. Wikler memberitahu “Inside Politics Sunday” CNN bahawa Demokrat perlu menunjukkan kepada rakyat Amerika bahawa “kita berada di pihak mereka dan menunjukkan siapa Republikan itu. Jika kita tidak berbuat demikian, maka kita akan kalah.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Sejuk Membekukan melanda Sesetengah Kawasan AS Dengan Salji Tebal dan Suhu Membeku

December 2, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - LOWVILLE, N.Y. — Hujan salji lebat dan suhu yang membekukan telah menyebabkan beberapa bahagian di Amerika Syarikat mengalami kesejukan yang melampau pada hari Ahad, ketika cuti hujung minggu Kesyukuran hampir berakhir. Walau bagaimanapun, meskipun cuaca sejuk seperti Artik, penunggang snowmobil dan pemain ski sedang menikmati kawasan bersalji masing-masing, dan peramal cuaca memberikan berita baik menjelang perlawanan NFL di Buffalo. Di kawasan terpencil Tug Hill di utara negeri New York, di mana salji kesan tasik dari Tasik Ontario boleh menyebabkan beberapa kaki salji sekaligus, terdapat sehingga 46 inci (117 sentimeter) di kawasan Barnes Corners. “Kami hanya terus membersihkan salji,” kata Kevin Tyo, seorang ahli perniagaan tempatan, pada hari Ahad. “Kami bekerja sepanjang hari semalam, membersihkan salji.” Seperti ramai penduduk tempatan, dia mempunyai bajak yang dipasang di hadapan traknya untuk sebahagian besar musim sejuk, “dan saya mempunyai traktor dengan baldi, dan mesin pembersih salji.” Nasihatnya? “Jika anda tidak biasa dengan keadaan ini, duduk di rumah. Jika anda keluar, kurangkan kelajuan.” Permulaan perlawanan Buffalo Bills ditetapkan untuk Ahad malam Di Buffalo, pegawai NFL’s Bills telah mencari pekerja pembersih salji stadium untuk musim ini, termasuk menjelang perlawanan Ahad malam menentang San Francisco 49ers. Pasukan itu berkata mereka akan membayar $20 sejam dan menyediakan makanan dan minuman panas. Ribut kesan tasik mula melanda kawasan itu pada hari Sabtu berhampiran stadium Bills di Orchard Park, New York. Salji terus turun berhampiran stadium beberapa jam sebelum perlawanan, menurut Pusat Komunikasi Risiko Cuaca Negeri di New York. “Jumlah hujan salji akan bergantung sepenuhnya sama ada salji kesan tasik semasa beralih sedikit ke selatan stadium, atau kekal di tempat di atas stadium lebih lama,” kata pusat itu dalam catatan di laman media sosial X. Udara Artik lewat minggu lepas membawa suhu yang sangat sejuk Satu tiupan udara Artik lewat minggu lepas membawa suhu yang sangat sejuk iaitu 10 hingga 20 darjah Fahrenheit di bawah purata ke Northern Plains, kata Perkhidmatan Cuaca Kebangsaan, yang menyebabkan amaran sejuk bagi beberapa bahagian di North Dakota. Udara sejuk dijangka bergerak ke timur ketiga Amerika Syarikat menjelang Isnin, dengan suhu kira-kira 10 darjah di bawah purata. Pegawai di Erie, Pennsylvania, berkata pada hari Ahad bahawa hujan salji kesan tasik yang lebat telah menghasilkan keadaan yang “bahaya” yang menyebabkan juga jentera pembersih salji terperangkap ketika mereka bekerja sepanjang masa untuk cuba membersihkan jalan raya bandar. Bandar itu menganggarkan pada pagi Ahad bahawa terdapat “kira-kira 100 kereta di seluruh bandar yang menyekat jalan raya dan perlu ditunda supaya jentera pembersih salji dapat melalui.” Kenderaan komersial masih diharamkan dalam kedua-dua arah I-90 di barat New York sepanjang hampir 134 batu ke sempadan Pennsylvania. Perkhidmatan Cuaca Kebangsaan berkata salji kesan tasik dijangka berterusan di timur Tasik Erie dan Tasik Ontario pada hari Ahad, dengan tambahan hujan salji sebanyak 1 hingga 2 kaki (30 hingga 60 sentimeter) mungkin berlaku. New York, Pennsylvania isytihar kecemasan Dalam temu bual telefon pada hari Sabtu dengan , Gabenor New York Kathy Hochul berkata negeri itu telah membuat persiapan untuk ribut selama beberapa hari dengan mengerahkan jentera pembersih salji dan beribu-ribu pekerja dan berunding dengan pembekal utiliti. Beliau juga telah menghantar kakitangan dari bahagian lain negeri untuk membantu. “Saya tahu ia adalah sesuatu yang mereka semua sudah biasa dan mereka boleh mengendalikannya, tetapi saya ingin memaklumkan kepada mereka bahawa kami berada di sini dengan bantuan dan untuk memastikan semua orang boleh melakukan perjalanan dengan selamat, terutamanya pada hujung minggu cuti yang sibuk ini,” katanya. Gabenor Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro telah menandatangani satu pengisytiharan kecemasan bencana pada hari Sabtu dan berkata beberapa bahagian di Erie County di barat laut menerima hampir 2 kaki (61 sentimeter) salji dengan lebih banyak lagi dijangka sehingga Isnin malam. Pasukan Polis Negeri Pennsylvania bertindak balas terhadap hampir 200 kejadian dalam tempoh 24 jam dari pukul 6 pagi Jumaat hingga pukul 6 pagi Sabtu, kata pegawai. Pihak berkuasa telah menutup sebahagian I-90 di Pennsylvania dan lorong-lorong menghala ke barat Lebuhraya New York menuju ke Pennsylvania. Michigan dilanda salji kesan tasik Beberapa bahagian di Michigan telah dilanda salji kesan tasik, yang berlaku apabila udara lembap dan hangat yang naik dari badan air bercampur dengan udara kering dan sejuk di atas. Jalur salji yang bergolek dari Tasik Superior telah menimbun beberapa bahagian di Semenanjung Atas dengan 2 kaki (61 sentimeter) atau lebih, kata Lily Chapman, seorang ahli meteorologi di pejabat Perkhidmatan Cuaca Kebangsaan di Marquette, Michigan. Terdapat 27 inci (69 sentimeter) salji di timur laut Ironwood, di bahagian barat Semenanjung Atas, dan 2 kaki (61 sentimeter) lagi di Munising, di kawasan timur. Salji kesan tasik boleh menambah lebih daripada satu kaki (30.5 sentimeter) di atas Semenanjung Atas timur sehingga Isnin pagi, dengan 6 hingga 10 inci (15 hingga 25 sentimeter) atau lebih tinggi ke barat, kata Chapman pada hari Sabtu. Gaylord, Michigan, menerima 24.8 inci (63 sentimeter) salji pada hari Jumaat, mencipta rekod harian baharu untuk bandar itu di rantau yang dipenuhi dengan pusat peranginan ski, kata Keith Berger dari pejabat Gaylord perkhidmatan cuaca. Rekod sebelumnya iaitu 17 inci (43 sentimeter) dicipta pada 9 Mac 1942. Hujan salji itu adalah berita baik untuk Treetops Resort, yang mempunyai 80 ekar (32 hektar) kawasan bukit ski di antara 2,000 ekar (809 hektar) kawasannya. Ia meningkatkan asas yang akan ditambah oleh mesin pembuat salji sebelum pembukaan musim peranginan hujung minggu depan, kata Pengarah Rekreasi Doug Hoeh. “Sudah tentu apabila anda mendapat begitu banyak hujan salji, ia sangat bagus untuk bukit-bukit salji, tetapi ia tidak bagus untuk tempat letak kereta, jadi kami sedang membersihkan salji,” kata Hoeh.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Syria Hantar Bantuan bagi Menghentikan Kemajuan Pemberontak Selepas Merampas Aleppo “`

December 2, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - BEIRUT — Angkatan tentera Syria bergegas menghantar bala bantuan pada hari Ahad untuk menolak pemberontak daripada terus mara ke kawasan luar bandar Hama utara dan lokasi strategik di sekitarnya di wilayah bersebelahan dalam satu serangan mengejut. Para pemberontak yang diketuai oleh Hayat Tahrir al-Sham pada hari Sabtu dan mendakwa telah memasuki bandar Hama. Tiada pengesahan bebas mengenai dakwaan mereka. Komander pemberontak Kolonel Hassan Abdulghani berkata secara berasingan bahawa pemberontak juga telah mengambil alih Sheikh Najjar, juga dikenali sebagai Bandar Perindustrian Aleppo, di timur laut bandar, akademi tentera Aleppo dan kolej artileri medan di barat daya. Menteri Luar Iran Abbas Araghchi dalam perjalanan ke Damsyik, ibu kota Syria, lewat Ahad. Beliau memberitahu wartawan bahawa Tehran akan menyokong kerajaan dan tentera Syria. Serangan pantas dan mengejut itu merupakan satu tamparan hebat kepada Presiden Syria Bashar Assad dan menimbulkan persoalan mengenai kesiapsiagaan angkatan tenteranya. Ia juga berlaku pada masa apabila sekutu Assad — Iran dan kumpulan yang disokongnya dan Rusia — sibuk dengan konflik mereka sendiri. Televisyen negeri Syria mendakwa pasukan kerajaan telah membunuh hampir 1,000 pemberontak dalam tempoh tiga hari yang lalu, tanpa memberikan bukti atau butiran. Serangan udara kerajaan semalaman ke atas bandar Idlib, kubu kuat yang dikuasai pemberontak berhampiran wilayah Hama dan 65 kilometer (40 batu) di tenggara Aleppo, telah membunuh empat orang awam dan mencederakan 54 orang lain, menurut Pertahanan Awam Syria, juga dikenali sebagai White Helmets, yang beroperasi di kawasan yang dikuasai pembangkang. Menurut agensi berita negeri Syria SANA dan pemantau perang, tentera telah menolak pemberontak di kawasan luar bandar utara wilayah Hama semalaman. Pemantau perang pembangkang yang berpangkalan di Britain, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, berkata bahawa bala bantuan kerajaan telah mewujudkan "garis pertahanan yang kukuh" di kawasan luar bandar utara Hama. Balai cerap dan rangkaian berita negeri Syria Al-Ikhbariyah juga melaporkan serangan udara Rusia, di Idlib dan beberapa kawasan yang kini di bawah kawalan pemberontak. Dalam komen awam pertamanya sejak bermulanya serangan itu, yang dikeluarkan oleh agensi berita negeri pada Sabtu petang, Assad berkata Syria akan terus "mempertahankan kestabilan dan integriti wilayahnya daripada pengganas dan penyokong mereka." Beliau menambah bahawa Syria mampu menewaskan mereka tidak kira betapa hebatnya serangan mereka. Pertempuran Aleppo pada tahun 2016 merupakan titik perubahan dalam perang antara pasukan kerajaan Syria dan pejuang pemberontak selepas protes pada tahun 2011 terhadap pemerintahan Assad bertukar menjadi perang habis-habisan. Selepas kelihatan kehilangan kawalan ke atas negara kepada pemberontak, pertempuran Aleppo telah mengukuhkan pegangan Assad ke atas kawasan strategik di Syria, dengan puak pembangkang dan penyokong asing mereka mengawal kawasan di pinggir.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Great Lakes, Plains, dan Midwest Dijangka Dilanda Salji dan Kesejukan Teruk “` berita

Great Lakes, Plains, dan Midwest Dijangka Dilanda Salji dan Kesejukan Teruk “`

December 2, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - BUFFALO, N.Y. — Hujan salji pertama yang lebat musim ini meliputi pekan-pekan di sepanjang Tasik Erie di utara negeri New York dan barat laut Pennsylvania di tengah-tengah kesibukan perjalanan dan membeli-belah hujung minggu perayaan, manakala cuaca sejuk yang mematikan dan salji lebat mungkin berterusan sehingga minggu depan dan menyebabkan bahaya di rantau Great Lakes, Plains dan Midwest. Hujan salji lebat telah membawa kepada pengisytiharan darurat di beberapa bahagian New York dan pengisytiharan bencana di Pennsylvania, dengan pegawai-pegawai memberi amaran tentang keadaan berbahaya bagi pengembara Thanksgiving yang cuba pulang ke rumah. “Perjalanan akan menjadi amat sukar dan berbahaya pada hujung minggu ini, terutamanya di kawasan di mana beberapa kaki salji mungkin terkumpul dengan sangat cepat,” kata Perkhidmatan Cuaca Kebangsaan pada hari Sabtu. Sebahagian daripada I-90 di Pennsylvania telah ditutup pada hari Sabtu, dan begitu juga lorong-lorong menghala ke barat Lebuhraya New York menuju ke Pennsylvania. Hampir dua kaki (61 sentimeter) salji telah pun turun di beberapa bahagian New York, Ohio dan Michigan dan kira-kira 29 inci (73 sentimeter) salji telah direkodkan di hujung barat laut Pennsylvania. Jalan raya di beberapa bahagian barat laut Pennsylvania menjadi begitu tidak boleh dilalui pada awal hari Sabtu sehingga ramai orang berlindung semalaman di lobi dan koridor sebuah hotel Holiday Inn yang penuh ditempah berhampiran I-90. Jeremiah Weatherley, seorang kakitangan di hotel itu, berkata berpuluh-puluh orang datang apabila salji menimbun, dengan pekerja membuka bilik persidangan hotel dan memberi selimut kepada orang ramai supaya mereka boleh tidur di lantai. “Ia sukar untuk diurus tetapi kami tidak mempunyai pilihan,” katanya. “Mereka hanya datang dan kami tidak mahu menolak orang ramai.” Weatherley berkata dia membuat bagel untuk orang ramai dan mengagihkan jus dan bijirin pada pagi Sabtu, semasa kumpulan itu membantu antara satu sama lain untuk menggali kereta mereka daripada salji lebat. “Semua orang membantu antara satu sama lain,” katanya. “Ia agak menarik.” Letupan udara Artik yang sangat sejuk minggu ini juga membawa suhu sejuk yang amat rendah iaitu 10 hingga 20 darjah Fahrenheit di bawah purata ke Northern Plains, kata perkhidmatan cuaca itu. Itu mendorong nasihat cuaca sejuk ke atas beberapa bahagian North Dakota. Udara sejuk dijangka bergerak ke atas satu pertiga timur Amerika Syarikat menjelang Isnin, kata perkhidmatan cuaca itu, dengan suhu kira-kira 10 darjah di bawah purata. Beberapa bahagian Michigan telah dilanda hujan salji lebat daripada tasik. Jalur-jalur yang telah bergolek dari Tasik Superior sejak tiga hari lalu telah menimbun beberapa bahagian Semenanjung Atas Michigan di bawah dua kaki (61 sentimeter) salji atau lebih sebelum tengah hari Sabtu, kata Lily Chapman, seorang ahli meteorologi di pejabat Perkhidmatan Cuaca Kebangsaan Marquette, Michigan. Beliau berkata 27 inci (69 sentimeter) berada di atas tanah di timur laut Ironwood, di hujung barat UP yang bersebelahan dengan sempadan negeri Wisconsin. Dua kaki lagi (61 sentimeter) salji telah turun di Munising, Michigan, di rantau timur UP. Beliau berkata jalur sempit hujan salji daripada tasik, yang didorong oleh angin barat laut yang sejuk, boleh menghasilkan julat jumlah hujan salji yang luas di kawasan geografi kecil. “Di sesetengah tempat di bandar yang sama anda boleh melihat satu kaki salji dan kemudian hanya beberapa batu jauhnya anda boleh mempunyai lebih daripada dua kaki,” katanya. Chapman berkata hujan salji daripada tasik yang berterusan boleh menambah lebih daripada satu kaki salji (30.5 sentimeter) ke atas UP timur Michigan sehingga Isnin pagi, dengan enam (15 sentimeter) hingga 10 inci (25 sentimeter) atau lebih tinggi di UP barat. Suhu berada di lingkungan 10 darjah dan 20 darjah Fahrenheit di UP barat dan 20 darjah di atas di UP timur pada hari Sabtu. Di Deep South, tiada salji diramalkan — tetapi suhu telah menurun di bawah takat beku. “Ini adalah permulaan musim sejuk kita,” kata Sam Marlow, seorang ahli meteorologi di Perkhidmatan Cuaca Kebangsaan di Atlanta. “Pagi ini, kita berada di bawah takat beku untuk hampir semua bahagian utara dan tengah Georgia.” Dan di pergunungan utara Georgia, suhu menurun kepada kira-kira 22 darjah Fahrenheit (-5.5 Celsius) “Kita melihat suhu meningkat pada siang hari, mencecah kira-kira 50 darjah,” kata Marlow. Menjelang Selasa pagi, suhu rendah boleh jatuh ke lingkungan 10 darjah di bahagian Georgia yang terpencil, katanya. Di Pennsylvania, Gabenor Josh Shapiro menandatangani satu proklamasi darurat bencana. Shapiro berkata beberapa bahagian Erie County di barat laut Pennsylvania telah menerima hampir tiga kaki (satu meter) salji dengan lebih banyak dijangka sehingga Isnin malam. Beliau berkata pasukan kecemasan negeri, polis dan pengangkutan telah berada di lapangan semalaman untuk membantu pemandu yang terkandas “dan memastikan responden kecemasan boleh sampai kepada orang ramai yang memerlukan mereka.” Polis Negeri Pennsylvania bertindak balas terhadap hampir 200 insiden dalam tempoh 24 jam dari pukul 6 pagi Jumaat hingga pukul 6 pagi Sabtu, kata pegawai. Apabila salji mula turun pada hari Jumaat, peramal cuaca negeri New York memberi amaran 4 hingga 6 kaki (1.2 hingga 1.8 meter) salji yang bertiup dan hanyut boleh turun di Watertown dan kawasan lain di timur Tasik Ontario sehingga Isnin. Selepas musim luruh yang luar biasa sederhana, sebanyak 2 hingga 3 kaki (0.6 hingga 0.9 meter) salji mungkin berlaku di sepanjang Tasik Erie dan selatan Buffalo daripada jalur kesan tasik yang terkenal dengan menghantam rantau ini dengan kadar hujan salji sebanyak 2 hingga 4 inci (5 hingga 10 sentimeter) sejam. Hujan salji daripada kesan tasik berlaku apabila udara lembap yang hangat yang naik dari jisim air bercampur dengan udara kering yang sejuk di atasnya. “Tasik itu adalah 50 darjah (10 darjah Celsius). Kita berada kira-kira enam darjah di atas tempat kita sepatutnya pada masa tahun ini, itulah sebabnya kita melihat kejadian kesan tasik yang lebat ini,” kata Pesuruhjaya Kerja Raya Erie County, William Geary. “Prospek untuk dua minggu akan datang hingga Disember, kita mungkin akan melihat lebih banyak lagi.” Gabenor New York, Kathy Hochul telah mengisytiharkan bagi daerah-daerah yang terjejas. Keadaan yang merosot dengan pantas pada hari Jumaat menyebabkan penutupan di sepanjang Interstate 90, dan kenderaan tandem dan komersial telah diharamkan daripada Interstate 86 di barat New York dan sebahagian besar Lebuhraya AS 219 bermula Jumaat petang. “Oleh kerana penduduk New York menghadapi ribut salji kesan tasik ini, saya menggesa penduduk New York di rantau yang terjejas untuk berwaspada dan mengelakkan perjalanan yang tidak perlu,” kata Hochul dalam satu kenyataan pada Sabtu pagi, memberi amaran kepada penduduk bahawa lebih banyak salji akan datang.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Perdana Menteri Kanada Trudeau Bertemu Trump di Florida Di Tengah Ancaman Tarif “`

December 2, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Perdana Menteri Kanada, Justin Trudeau, terbang ke Florida pada hari Jumaat untuk makan malam bersama Presiden terpilih Donald Trump di kelab Mar-a-Lago beliau selepas Trump mengancam untuk mengenakan tarif yang meluas ke atas produk Kanada. Trump mengancam untuk mengenakan tarif ke atas produk dari Kanada dan Mexico jika mereka tidak menghentikan apa yang beliau sebut sebagai aliran dadah dan pendatang tanpa izin merentasi sempadan mereka.

Walaupun Trump pernah memanggil Trudeau sebagai “lemah” dan “tidak jujur” semasa penggal pertamanya, hubungan antara kedua-dua negara kekal antara yang terdekat di dunia. Trudeau merupakan pemimpin pertama dari negara-negara G7 yang melawat Trump sejak pilihan raya 5 November. Turut menyertai Trump dan Trudeau dalam makan malam tersebut ialah Howard Lutnick, calon Trump untuk jawatan setiausaha perdagangan, Gabenor North Dakota Doug Burgum, pilihan Trump untuk mengetuai Jabatan Dalam Negeri, Mike Waltz, pilihan Trump untuk menjadi penasihat keselamatan nasionalnya, dan isteri ketiga-tiga lelaki tersebut. Turut hadir dalam makan malam tersebut ialah David McCormick, yang baru sahaja dipilih sebagai senator Amerika Syarikat dari Pennsylvania, dan isterinya, Dina Powell, bekas penasihat keselamatan negara timbalan di bawah Trump, serta Menteri Keselamatan Awam Kanada Dominic LeBlanc, yang tanggungjawabnya termasuk keselamatan sempadan, dan Katie Telford, ketua kakitangan Trudeau. McCormick memuat naik foto di X yang menunjukkan kumpulan tersebut duduk di meja bulat di patio Mar-a-Lago. Di meja di belakang presiden terpilih, seorang budak lelaki dapat dilihat membuat muka di hadapan kamera. Pasukan peralihan Trump tidak memberi respons kepada soalan tentang apa yang telah mereka bincangkan atau sama ada perbualan tersebut telah mengurangkan kebimbangan Trump tentang sempadan tersebut. Trudeau yang tersenyum enggan mengulas semasa kembali ke hotelnya di West Palm Beach lewat hari Jumaat. Trudeau berkata lebih awal pada hari Jumaat bahawa beliau akan menyelesaikan isu tarif dengan bercakap dengan Trump. Presiden Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum berkata pada hari Khamis selepas bercakap dengan Trump bahawa beliau yakin perang tarif dengan Amerika Syarikat akan dapat dielakkan. “Kita akan bekerjasama untuk memenuhi beberapa kebimbangan,” kata Trudeau kepada wartawan di Prince Edward Island di Atlantic Canada. “Tetapi akhirnya, melalui banyak perbualan konstruktif yang sebenar dengan Presiden Trump yang akan saya lakukan, itu akan memastikan kita terus maju ke arah yang betul untuk semua rakyat Kanada.” Trudeau berkata Trump dipilih kerana beliau berjanji untuk menurunkan kos barangan runcit tetapi sekarang beliau bercakap tentang menambah 25% kepada kos pelbagai jenis produk termasuk kentang dari Prince Edward Island. “Adalah penting untuk memahami bahawa Donald Trump, apabila beliau membuat kenyataan seperti itu, beliau merancang untuk melaksanakannya. Tiada persoalan mengenainya,” kata Trudeau. “Tanggungjawab kita ialah untuk menunjukkan bahawa beliau bukan sahaja akan merugikan rakyat Kanada, yang bekerjasama dengan baik dengan Amerika Syarikat, malah beliau sebenarnya akan menaikkan harga untuk rakyat Amerika juga dan merugikan industri dan perniagaan Amerika,” tambahnya. Tarif tersebut boleh menyebabkan perjanjian perdagangan Amerika Utara yang dirundingkan oleh pasukan Trump semasa penggal pertamanya musnah. Trudeau menyatakan mereka berjaya merunding semula perjanjian tersebut, yang beliau sebut sebagai “menang-menang” untuk kedua-dua negara. “Kita boleh bekerjasama seperti yang kita lakukan sebelum ini,” kata Trudeau. Trump membuat ancaman tarif pada hari Isnin semasa mengkritik kemasukan pendatang tanpa izin, walaupun jumlah pendatang tanpa izin di sempadan Kanada jauh lebih sedikit berbanding sempadan selatan. Kawalan Sempadan Amerika Syarikat telah membuat 56,530 tangkapan di sempadan Mexico pada bulan Oktober sahaja — dan 23,721 tangkapan di sempadan Kanada antara Oktober 2023 dan September 2024. Trump juga mengkritik fentanyl dari Mexico dan Kanada, walaupun rampasan dari sempadan Kanada sedikit berbanding sempadan Mexico. Ejen kastam Amerika Syarikat merampas 43 paun fentanyl di sempadan Kanada pada tahun fiskal lepas, berbanding 21,100 paun di sempadan Mexico. Pegawai Kanada mengatakan bahawa menggabungkan Kanada dengan Mexico adalah tidak adil tetapi mengatakan bahawa mereka bersedia untuk membuat pelaburan baharu dalam keselamatan sempadan. Trudeau menghubungi Trump selepas beliau membuat catatan media sosial mengenai sempadan tersebut. Apabila Trump mengenakan tarif yang lebih tinggi semasa penggal pertamanya, negara-negara lain bertindak balas dengan mengenakan tarif balasan mereka sendiri. Sebagai contoh, Kanada mengumumkan berbilion dolar duti baharu pada tahun 2018 terhadap Amerika Syarikat sebagai tindak balas tit-for-tat terhadap cukai baharu ke atas keluli dan aluminium Kanada. Kanada sedang mengkaji tarif balasan yang mungkin ke atas barangan tertentu dari Amerika Syarikat sekiranya Trump meneruskan ancamannya untuk mengenakan tarif yang meluas ke atas produk Kanada, kata seorang pegawai kanan kepada The Associated Press minggu ini. Seorang pegawai kerajaan berkata Kanada sedang bersedia untuk setiap kemungkinan dan telah mula memikirkan barangan apa yang perlu disasarkan dengan tarif sebagai balasan. Pegawai tersebut menegaskan bahawa tiada keputusan telah dibuat. Individu tersebut bercakap dengan syarat tidak dikenali namanya kerana mereka tidak dibenarkan untuk bercakap secara terbuka. Kanada ialah destinasi eksport utama untuk 36 negeri Amerika Syarikat. Hampir $3.6 bilion Kanada (US$2.7 bilion) nilai barangan dan perkhidmatan merentasi sempadan setiap hari. Kira-kira 60% import minyak mentah Amerika Syarikat adalah dari Kanada, dan 85% import elektrik Amerika Syarikat adalah dari Kanada. Kanada juga merupakan pembekal asing terbesar keluli, aluminium dan uranium kepada Amerika Syarikat dan mempunyai 34 mineral dan logam kritikal yang Pentagon inginkan dan melabur di dalamnya untuk keselamatan negara. Kanada ialah salah satu negara yang paling bergantung kepada perdagangan di dunia, dan 77% eksport Kanada pergi ke Amerika Syarikat. “Kanada mempunyai sebab untuk bimbang kerana Trump bersifat impulsif, sering dipengaruhi oleh perkara terakhir yang dilihatnya di Fox News,” kata Nelson Wiseman, profesor emeritus di University of Toronto. “Beliau boleh menggunakannya dengan memenuhi apa yang beliau fikir akan kedengaran dan kelihatan baik kepada orang ramai dan bukannya kepada apa yang berlaku atau akan berlaku.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
