Adakah Gajah Patut Mempunyai Hak yang Sama dengan Manusia? Mahkamah Colorado Mungkin Akan Memutuskan

(SeaPRwire) - DENVER — Missy, Kimba, Lucky, LouLou, dan Jambo telah tinggal di Colorado Springs selama beberapa dekad di pameran gajah di Zoo Gunung Cheyenne. Kini, sebuah kumpulan hak haiwan cuba membebaskan gajah-gajah itu daripada apa yang mereka katakan adalah penjara bagi haiwan yang sangat bijak dan sosial yang diketahui menjelajah sejauh beberapa batu sehari di alam liar. Mahkamah tertinggi Colorado akan mendengar hujahan pada hari Khamis tentang sama ada gajah betina Afrika yang lebih tua harus secara sah dapat mencabar kurungan mereka di bawah proses lama yang digunakan oleh tahanan untuk membantah penahanan mereka. Kumpulan hak haiwan NonHuman Rights Project mengatakan haiwan itu sedang menderita sementara "ditahan secara tidak sah" di zoo, dan ingin mereka dibebaskan ke tempat perlindungan gajah yang tidak ditentukan. “Mereka sangat menderita dan tidak perlu. Tanpa campur tangan kehakiman, mereka ditakdirkan untuk menderita hari demi hari, tahun demi tahun, sepanjang hidup mereka,” kata seorang peguam untuk kumpulan itu, Jake Davis, dalam nota ringkas yang dikemukakan kepada Mahkamah Agung Colorado pada bulan Mei. Isu undang-undang utama ialah sama ada gajah itu dianggap sebagai individu di bawah undang-undang, dan oleh itu boleh meneruskan petisyen habeas corpus mencabar penahanan mereka. Projek Hak NonHuman berpendapat bahawa keindividu undang-undang tidak terhad kepada manusia. Saman itu serupa dengan samannya yang tidak berjaya yang difailkan kumpulan itu mencabar penahanan gajah bernama Happy di Zoo Bronx pada tahun 2022. Mahkamah Rayuan New York memutuskan bahawa Happy, walaupun bijak dan layak mendapat belas kasihan, tidak boleh dianggap sebagai individu yang ditahan secara tidak sah dengan kemampuan untuk meneruskan petisyen untuk mendapatkan pembebasan. Peraturan New York mengatakan memberikan hak sedemikian kepada gajah "akan memberi kesan yang sangat tidak stabil kepada masyarakat moden" dan mengubah cara manusia berinteraksi dengan haiwan. Zoo Gunung Cheyenne mengatakan memindahkan gajah dan berpotensi menempatkan mereka dengan haiwan baru akan kejam pada usia mereka, berpotensi menyebabkan mereka mengalami tekanan yang tidak perlu. Ia mengatakan mereka tidak biasa berada dalam kumpulan yang lebih besar dan, berdasarkan pengalamannya, mereka tidak mempunyai kemahiran atau keinginan untuk bergabung dengan mereka. Dalam satu kenyataan menjelang pendengaran hari Khamis, zoo mendakwa Projek Hak NonHuman tidak bimbang tentang gajah tetapi hanya cuba mewujudkan preseden kehakiman yang akan membolehkan penahanan mana-mana haiwan untuk dicabar. “Kami berharap Colorado bukan tempat yang memulakan jalan licin sama ada anjing atau kucing kesayangan anda yang dicintai dan dijaga dengan baik harus mempunyai habeas corpus dan akan diwajibkan untuk 'bebas,' mengikut kehendak pendapat orang lain tentang mereka,” katanya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Bagaimana TIME Bersedia untuk Hari Pilihan Raya berita

Bagaimana TIME Bersedia untuk Hari Pilihan Raya

(SeaPRwire) - Ini adalah surat editor terakhir yang kami rancang untuk diterbitkan sebelum 5 November, Hari Pilihan Raya di Amerika Syarikat. Jika anda telah merasa bimbang, anda bukan sahaja. Ketika ditanya baru-baru ini, hanya separuh daripada rakyat Amerika menyatakan keyakinan mereka bahawa undi mereka akan dikira dengan tepat. Tidak hairanlah, memandangkan serangan retorik dan fizikal terhadap demokrasi kita dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, bahawa ramai pengundi berkongsi ketakutan yang sama. , kami telah meminta Barton Gellman, bekas editor besar TIME dan wartawan keselamatan nasional pemenang Hadiah Pulitzer, untuk jawapan kepada soalan mudah: Adakah undi anda selamat? Gellman, yang kini bekerja di , mendapati bahawa walaupun terdapat pelakon asing dan domestik yang cuba menjejaskan kredibiliti undi pada tahun 2024, rakyat Amerika boleh yakin bahawa undi mereka akan dikira dengan tepat dan bahawa pilihan raya akan bebas dan adil. “Lengkung bukti, berdasarkan wawancara dengan pegawai pilihan raya negeri, tempatan dan persekutuan, penganalisis perisikan, dan pemerhati pakar, condong ke arah keyakinan. Sejak 2020, alat pilihan raya negara telah menaik taraf peralatannya, memperketat prosedur, meningkatkan audit, dan mengukuhkan pertahanannya terhadap sabotaj oleh pelakon jahat, asing atau domestik.…” tulisnya. "Sistem ini, menurut semua orang yang saya tanya, akan bertahan." Kami menerbitkan laporan ini dengan semangat liputan kempen kami yang lain, bertujuan untuk memberikan panduan yang boleh dipercayai supaya anda dapat lebih memahami calon dan dasar yang akan mereka laksanakan. Bulan lepas, kami melancarkan , inisiatif kami yang didedikasikan untuk memberikan pembaca cerita berorientasikan perkhidmatan yang memberikan konteks untuk kitaran pilihan raya ini serta sumber yang boleh diakses dan tidak berat sebelah untuk pengundi. Dalam beberapa minggu akan datang, kami akan berkongsi lebih banyak maklumat tersebut dengan pembaca di mana sahaja mereka mencari TIME hari ini. Kami harap usaha ini berguna kepada anda ketika anda bersiap untuk mengundi. Kami juga telah berusaha untuk mengangkat mereka yang menjadikan pilihan raya AS selamat dan boleh dipercayai, melancarkan siri kami. Ini adalah salah satu kempen pilihan raya paling liar dalam sejarah. Sebaliknya, melihat kembali cerita muka depan TIME sejak 2024 menunjukkan jalan yang telah membawa kita ke tahap ini. Pada bulan Mac, Presiden Joe Biden berada bersama lebih daripada 30 pengundi, ahli strategi, dan veteran kempen yang memberitahu TIME bahawa mereka percaya Biden akan kalah. Pada bulan April dan Jun, kami menawarkan dua wawancara pendamping, yang terakhir dengan , yang pertama dengan meminta setiap orang untuk menjelaskan bagaimana dunia akan kelihatan jika mereka dipilih. Musim panas ini menyaksikan Biden , Trump terselamat daripada pada satu perhimpunan, dan kemudian keputusan akhir Biden untuk menarik diri daripada kempen, yang membawa kepada . Naib Presiden mengunci pencalonan partinya dengan kelajuan dan kekuatan yang sedikit diramalkan. Pada musim luruh ini, kami menyaksikan Harris mengatasi Trump di —satu saat yang kini ditakutkan oleh Demokrat mungkin menjadi puncak kempennya—dan kemunculan J.D. Vance sebagai . Walaupun begitu, walaupun semua kekacauan ini, jika tinjauan pendapat tepat, dinamika asas perlumbaan nampaknya tetap statik, dengan Harris dan Trump terikat secara efektif di negeri-negeri medan perang yang kemungkinan besar akan menentukan pilihan raya. Menutupi semua ini adalah pasukan kami yang tidak kenal penat lelah yang terdiri daripada wartawan dan editor berpengalaman di Washington, D.C.; Bandar Raya New York; dan di seluruh dunia. Kami berhutang budi kepada mereka dan berbesar hati untuk melaporkan pilihan raya ini kepada anda. , dan kepada latihan demokrasi kita yang agung.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Harris: Trump Adalah ‘Fasis’ Yang Akan Menggunakan Tentera Untuk Dendam Peribadi berita

Harris: Trump Adalah ‘Fasis’ Yang Akan Menggunakan Tentera Untuk Dendam Peribadi

(SeaPRwire) - Naib Presiden Kamala Harris menyampaikan ucapan awam yang jarang berlaku di hadapan kediaman rasminya di Washington pada hari Rabu untuk meningkatkan kebimbangan mengenai keinginan Donald Trump untuk menggunakan jawatan presiden untuk menghukum pesaing politiknya dan menggunakan tentera “sebagai milisi peribadinya untuk menjalankan dendam peribadi dan politiknya.” Harris menuduh Trump menginginkan “kuasa yang tidak terkawal,” dengan memetik wawancara yang diterbitkan baru-baru ini dengan John Kelly, seorang jeneral empat bintang bersara yang bertugas sebagai ketua kakitangan Rumah Putih Trump dan Setiausaha Keselamatan Dalam Negeri. Kelly memberitahu bahawa Trump mendakwa dia mahukan “jenis jeneral yang Hitler ada.” (Kempen Trump menafikan dakwaan Kelly.) Menunjuk kepada wawancara Kelly baru-baru ini dengan , Harris berkata, “Jelas dari kata-kata John Kelly bahawa Donald Trump adalah seseorang yang, saya sebutkan, ‘pasti jatuh ke dalam definisi umum fasis.’” Adalah tidak biasa bagi seorang Naib Presiden untuk membuat pernyataan politik dari kediaman rasmi di Bukit Observatorium. Harris berada dalam dua minggu terakhir perlumbaan ketat menentang Trump dan kempennya telah meningkatkan mesejnya mengenai ancaman kepada demokrasi yang ditimbulkan oleh Trump. “Dan jelas dari kata-kata John Kelly bahawa Donald Trump adalah seseorang yang, saya sebutkan, ‘pasti jatuh ke dalam definisi umum fasis,’ yang, sebenarnya, berjanji untuk menjadi seorang diktator pada hari pertama dan berjanji untuk menggunakan tentera sebagai milisi peribadinya untuk menjalankan dendam peribadi dan politiknya.” Dalam beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini, Trump semakin banyak menggunakan retorik autoritarian, merujuk kepada ancaman yang dia lihat dari “musuh di dalam” dan menyeru satu “hari ganas” untuk menghancurkan jenayah di Amerika Syarikat. Trump juga telah berkongsi mesej di media sosial yang menyeru pengadilan tentera untuk antagonis politiknya seperti bekas Rep. Liz Cheney, bekas Speaker Dewan Nancy Pelosi, dan Naib Presidennya sendiri, Mike Pence. Pada bulan Disember, Trump berkata dia hanya akan menjadi seorang diktator pada “hari pertama” untuk menutup sempadan dan memperluaskan pengeboran minyak. Pada taklimat akhbar Rumah Putih pada hari Rabu selepas ucapan Harris, Setiausaha Akhbar Karine Jean-Pierre, berkata “Ya” ketika ditanya sama ada Presiden Biden percaya Trump adalah seorang fasis. “Bekas presiden berkata dia akan menjadi seorang diktator pada hari pertama. Kita tidak boleh mengabaikannya,” katanya. Harris menggariskan perkara itu pada hari Rabu, dengan mengatakan bahawa soalan tentang bagaimana untuk bertindak balas terhadap cita-cita Trump akan diajukan kepada pengundi pada Hari Pilihan Raya. “Intinya adalah ini. Kita tahu apa yang Donald Trump mahu. Dia mahukan kuasa yang tidak terkawal. Soalan dalam 13 hari akan menjadi: Apa yang rakyat Amerika mahu?”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Apa Maksud Kemenangan Donald Trump untuk Pengguguran Kandungan berita

Apa Maksud Kemenangan Donald Trump untuk Pengguguran Kandungan

(SeaPRwire) - Sejak Mahkamah Agung A.S. Roe v. Wade dua tahun lalu, 21 negeri telah sama ada memperketatkan sekatan ke atas pengguguran atau melarangnya dalam hampir semua keadaan. Kini, dalam pilihan raya presiden pertama sejak Mahkamah Agung mencabut hak perlembagaan untuk pengguguran, pengundi akan memutuskan sama ada mereka mahu memilih semula lelaki yang berhak atas keputusan itu. Calon Republikan dan telah memuji dirinya sendiri atas peranannya dalam keputusan itu, sejak dia mencalonkan tiga daripada Hakim Mahkamah Agung yang mengundi untuk menggulingkan Roe pada tahun 2022. Dia memanggil banjir sekatan peringkat negeri yang berlaku kemudian .” Tetapi ketika dia bertanding untuk penggal kedua di tengah-tengah tinjauan pendapat yang menunjukkan rakyat Amerika pengguguran yang sah, dia telah cuba untuk melembutkan pendiriannya. Dia telah bahawa dia tidak akan menekan untuk larangan pengguguran nasional sebagai Presiden. “Presiden Trump telah lama konsisten dalam menyokong hak negeri untuk membuat keputusan mengenai pengguguran dan telah menyatakan dengan jelas bahawa dia TIDAK AKAN menandatangani larangan persekutuan apabila dia kembali ke Rumah Putih,” kata Karoline Leavitt, setiausaha akhbar nasional kempen Trump, dalam satu kenyataan kepada TIME. Walaupun begitu, Trump telah berulang kali untuk mengatakan sama ada dia akan memveto larangan nasional jika ia sampai ke mejanya sebagai Presiden - satu senario yang sangat tidak mungkin melainkan Republikan mendapat majoriti yang besar di kedua-dua dewan Kongres. Kempen Trump tidak menjawab soalan ini dalam kenyataannya. , lawan Trump dari Demokrat, telah bahawa Trump akan mengehadkan lagi hak pengguguran jika dipilih semula. Dan pejuang hak reproduktif, penyedia perkhidmatan perubatan, dan ahli politik telah mengenai bagaimana sekatan pengguguran boleh menghalang orang daripada menerima penjagaan perubatan - walaupun dalam . Trump telah berbolak-balik mengenai di mana tepatnya dia berdiri mengenai isu pengguguran selama bertahun-tahun. Walaupun dia berkata dalam temu bual pada tahun 1999 di bahawa dia adalah "sangat pro-pilihan," menjelang tahun 2011, dia diri sendiri sebagai "pro-hidup." Semasa dia menjadi Presiden pada tahun 2017, dia rang undang-undang yang akan melarang pengguguran selepas 20 minggu kehamilan. Pada bulan Mac 2024, Trump bahawa dia akan menyokong larangan nasional selama 15 minggu, dengan pengecualian untuk kes rogol, inses, atau apabila nyawa orang hamil berada dalam bahaya. “Dia telah mengubah fikirannya tentang pengguguran beberapa kali,” kata konsultan GOP Barrett Marson. “Saya tidak fikir rakyat Amerika tahu sama ada Donald Trump mempunyai pendirian yang kukuh dan tetap mengenai pengguguran, jadi meramalkan apa yang akan dia lakukan dengan sebarang undang-undang pengguguran yang berpotensi, walaupun tidak mungkin ia sampai ke mejanya, saya tidak fikir kita dapat meramalkannya.” Ramai pejuang hak reproduktif, penyedia perkhidmatan perubatan, dan ahli politik percaya bahawa Trump akan mencuba untuk mengenakan larangan persekutuan terhadap pengguguran walaupun kenyataannya baru-baru ini. Mereka memetik sokongan Trump sebelum ini untuk sekatan nasional dan hubungannya dengan , satu peralihan presiden dan cadangan dasar yang diketuai oleh kumpulan pemikir sayap kanan Heritage Foundation yang mencadangkan . Walaupun Trump telah menjarakkan diri daripada buku panduan itu, Projek 2025 telah kepada Trump dan kempennya. “Saya tidak akan berasaskan sebarang penilaian tentang bagaimana kepresidenan Trump kemungkinan besar akan kelihatan berdasarkan apa yang dia katakan hari ini,” kata Deirdre Schifeling, ketua pegawai politik dan advokasi untuk American Civil Liberties Union. “Jika anda melihat apa yang dia telah lakukan pada masa lalu, dia adalah sebab mengapa kita tidak mempunyai jenis perlindungan dan akses kepada pengguguran yang sama hari ini seperti yang kita miliki selama 50 tahun.” Beberapa sekutu Trump dan aktivis anti-pengguguran berkata Trump akan kekal dengan pendiriannya sekarang untuk meninggalkan dasar pengguguran kepada negeri-negeri. Kristan Hawkins, presiden kumpulan anti-pengguguran Students for Life Action, berkata dia "[menerima] Presiden Trump dengan kata-katanya" bahawa dia "ingin mengakhiri hubungan persekutuan dengan pengguguran," sambil menambah bahawa organisasinya "boleh bekerja dengannya mengenai perkara ini." Bekas Presiden itu telah berkata bahawa dia akan menjadi wanita. nya menyatakan bahawa dia dan Parti Republikan "dengan bangga berdiri untuk keluarga dan Kehidupan" dan negeri-negeri adalah "bebas untuk meluluskan Undang-undang yang melindungi" hak mereka. Ia menyatakan bahawa dia dan GOP "akan menentang Pengguguran Akhir Tempoh, sambil menyokong ibu dan dasar yang memajukan Penjagaan Pra-Natal, akses kepada Kawalan Kelahiran, dan IVF (rawatan kesuburan)." Rakan sepasukan Trump, , sebelum ini yang akan meningkatkan akses kepada persenyawaan in vitro (IVF) dan rawatan kesuburan yang lain. Vance juga melarang pengguguran tanpa pengecualian untuk rogol atau inses, tetapi sejak itu selaras dengan pendirian Trump bahawa isu itu harus diserahkan kepada negeri-negeri. Trump telah mendapat kecaman kerana retorikanya yang menghasut dan dakwaan palsu mengenai pengguguran dalam kitaran pilihan raya ini. Dia telah menuduh Demokrat, tanpa bukti, menyokong pengguguran (yang bukan pengguguran, tetapi pembunuhan bayi, yang merupakan jenayah di mana-mana di A.S.). Sementara itu, Harris telah menampilkan dirinya sebagai juara hak reproduktif, berjanji untuk memulihkan perlindungan yang telah dijamin oleh Roe dan memperoleh sokongan daripada organisasi seperti (PPAF). Walaupun Trump tidak menandatangani larangan nasional, dia boleh membuat langkah lain sebagai Presiden yang boleh memberi kesan kepada pengguguran. Sejak keputusan Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization menggulingkan Roe, sekatan pengguguran peringkat negeri sering . Menjelang berakhirnya kepresidenan Trump pada tahun 2021, dia telah semua hakim persekutuan aktif, yang kini atas . “Mencalonkan hakim persekutuan adalah warisan Presiden yang benar-benar berkekalan yang merangkumi beberapa dekad, sekurang-kurangnya,” kata Marson. Yang jelas ialah pilihan pengundi untuk Presiden ke-47 akan memberi kesan besar kepada dasar pengguguran, yang tidak menentu seperti yang pernah terjadi selama hampir 50 tahun. Melanie Newman, naib presiden kanan komunikasi dan budaya di PPAF, berkata: "Taruhannya benar-benar sangat tinggi."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Momen-Momen Utama Dari Forum Kepimpinan Kesihatan TIME100

(SeaPRwire) - Para pemimpin kesihatan berkumpul untuk Forum Kepimpinan Kesihatan TIME100 di Bandaraya New York pada 22 Oktober untuk satu malam perbincangan mengenai isu-isu paling mendesak dalam penjagaan kesihatan. Pakar-pakar muncul dalam siri empat panel perbincangan, yang membincangkan isu-isu seperti akses yang saksama kepada penjagaan kesihatan, kesihatan wanita, impak teknologi baharu, dan perubahan dasar kesihatan. Malam itu bermula dengan persembahan puisi asli oleh penulis, penulis drama, penganjur, dan pendidik , diikuti oleh panel yang menampilkan Dr. , pengarang dan pengasas serta Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Advancing Health Equity; Adrelia Allen, pengarah eksekutif kepelbagaian pesakit percubaan klinikal di Merck; dan , presiden Perikatan Pekerja Rumah Tangga Nasional dan pengarah eksekutif Caring Across Generations. [video id=Sfu7lqbc autostart="viewable"] Panelis membincangkan keperluan untuk mewujudkan rangka kerja penjagaan kesihatan yang merangkumi populasi yang paling mudah terdedah. "Terdapat beberapa dasar asas di negara ini yang perlu kita buat dalam kemampuan kita untuk menjaga diri kita dan orang yang kita sayangi," kata Poo. "Dan jika kita melakukan itu, saya rasa anda boleh menjadi transformatif dalam hasil kesihatan keseluruhan." Panel kedua, dimoderasikan oleh koresponden TIME Eliana Dockterman, memberi tumpuan kepada ketidakseimbangan kesihatan global untuk wanita, dan menampilkan Dr. Natalia Kanem, pengarah eksekutif Tabung Penduduk Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu; Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, pelapor khas PBB mengenai hak kesihatan; dan Dr. Asif Dhar, naib pengerusi dan Pemimpin Industri Perkhidmatan Perundingan Sains Hayat dan Penjagaan Kesihatan AS untuk Deloitte Global Consulting Services. Panelis membincangkan bagaimana ramai wanita berkongsi pengalaman merasa ditolak atau diabaikan oleh penyedia perkhidmatan perubatan, yang membawa kepada kekurangan kepercayaan dalam industri penjagaan kesihatan. [video id=svTQxW3D] Mofokeng juga bercakap mengenai satu ringkasan yang dia ada di sebuah mahkamah AS sebelum Mahkamah Agung AS mendengar hujah dalam , di mana dia berhujah bahawa mengehadkan hak aborsi akan bertentangan dengan perjanjian hak asasi manusia antarabangsa. Dia menekankan bahawa aborsi adalah satu keputusan yang harus kekal di antara penyedia perkhidmatan perubatan dan pesakit dan bahawa mengehadkannya menetapkan preseden yang "berbahaya". "Sebaik sahaja anda mengambil hak satu, kemungkinan besar lebih mudah untuk mengambil banyak hak lain, dan itulah sebabnya kita harus melihat hak kesihatan sebagai kunci utama untuk membuka banyak hak lain," kata Mofokeng. "Apabila kita melindungi hak kesihatan, kita juga melindungi banyak hak asasi manusia yang lain." Dalam panel mengenai impak teknologi baharu dalam penjagaan kesihatan, Shyamal Patel, naib presiden kanan dan ketua sains ŌURA, dan Dr. David Agus, pengarah pengasas dan bersama Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Institut Teknologi Ellison, membincangkan peluang dan halangan yang terlibat dalam memastikan bahawa teknologi yang boleh dipakai, seperti jam tangan pintar dan penjejak kecergasan, boleh diterima pakai oleh industri penjagaan kesihatan. [video id=F1ZUgCHz] "Satu aspek ialah evolusi teknologi ini dan apa yang boleh kita lakukan dengannya dan berapa banyak aspek kesihatan kita yang boleh kita fahami dengan lebih baik kerana kita mempunyai akses kepada teknologi kesihatan peribadi ini," kata Patel. "Dan aspek kedua ialah, bagaimana kita memahami dan memasukkannya ke dalam amalan penjagaan kesihatan?" Di antara panel, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif TIME Sam Jacobs mengadakan perbualan ringkas dengan Anak Tahun 2024 TIME , seorang penyelidik kanser kulit berusia 15 tahun. Bekele bercakap mengenai pentingnya melibatkan kanak-kanak dalam kesihatan dan sains dari usia muda. "Saya rasa cara terbaik untuk melakukannya ialah … memberi pendedahan kepada orang yang mungkin tidak pernah terdedah kepada STEM [sains, teknologi, kejuruteraan, dan matematik] dan STEAM [STEM + seni] dari usia yang sangat muda," katanya. [video id=vmt7GhhO] Malam itu ditutup dengan . Dr. Raj Panjabi, rakan kanan di Flagship Pioneering dan bekas pengarah kanan Rumah Putih dan pembantu khas kepada Presiden Joe Biden; Lori M. Reilly, ketua pegawai operasi di Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America; dan Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, pengarah Pusat Epidemiologi Klinikal dan ketua Perkhidmatan Penyelidikan dan Pendidikan di Sistem Penjagaan Kesihatan VA St. Louis; bercakap tentang bagaimana pilihan raya AS 2024 dan pandemik COVID-19 telah menjadikan penjagaan kesihatan sebagai sebahagian yang lebih penting dalam perbualan hari ini. [video id=bgLaFtTg] "Menjangkakan ke hadapan, saya bayangkan penjagaan kesihatan hanya akan menjadi item agenda yang lebih penting bagi Presiden di kedua-dua parti," kata Panjabi.

GMG Reaches Major Milestones in THERMAL-XR(R) Test Work

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 23, 2024) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a technical update on the commercialisation progress of THERMAL-XR® Powered by GMG Graphene.PRODUCT TECHNICAL UPDATETHERMAL-XR® has now successfully passed 15,000 hours for corrosion protection under a salt sea spray industry standard test (ASTM B117) in a third-party laboratory in the US as seen in Figure 1. The Company believes that THERMAL-XR® is one of the longest lasting corrosion protection coatings available on the market. The testing will continue, and further reports will be updated by the Company.Figure 1: THERMAL-XR® Coating Corrosion Test Results After 15,000 Salt Sea Spray Hours (ATM B117)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/227525_ecd3ffa9c41478c4_001full.jpgGMG can now accurately model and calculate the heat transfer rate expected from THERMAL-XR®, as compared to bare (uncoated) Aluminium, within 1% of actual results. This was reviewed and verified by the University of Queensland.Figure 2 shows the simulation model used to calculate the heat transfer coefficients of bare aluminium, versus THERMAL-XR® coated aluminium, on the test rig that GMG built and operated to obtain the experimental data.

Joint Study by Idemitsu Kosan and Mitsubishi Corporation on Low-Carbon Ammonia

TOKYO, Oct 23, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Idemitsu Kosan ("Idemitsu") and Mitsubishi Corporation ("MC") have agreed to jointly study the efficient operation of clean ammonia carriers and transshipment terminals, participation in ExxonMobil’s planned low-carbon hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia production project * in Baytown, Texas, USA, as well as the offtake of ammonia. Through this joint study, Idemitsu and MC will accelerate their study on structuring a supply chain for low-carbon ammonia procured from overseas.*This planned project will produce virtually carbon-free hydrogen with approximately 98% of carbon dioxide (CO2) removed and low-carbon ammonia. Final investment decision is expected in 2025 and is subject to necessary regulatory permits. This project aims to start production of low-carbon hydrogen (approximately 900,000 tons per year) and low-carbon ammonia (over 1 million tons per year) by 2029 and is expected to be the world's largest of its kind.Idemitsu has established an ammonia import and receiving terminal utilizing the existing infrastructure at its Tokuyama Complex in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and aims to jointly introduce over 1 million tons of ammonia as fuel and raw materials by 2030 in cooperation with neighboring companies in the Shunan Industrial Complex. In February of this year, Idemitsu’s Tokuyama Complex conducted a demonstration of ammonia combustion in naphtha cracking furnace that is currently in commercial use, the first of its kind in Japan, and in May, Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, METI adopted the "Ammonia supply base in the Shunan region, pipeline development in the region, and combustion facility study project" together with the 3 companies in Shunan Industrial Complex as part of the Government’s Hydrogen Supply Infrastructure Development Project. In order to be a pioneer in strengthening the competitiveness of domestic industrial complexes, Idemitsu is working with industries, government and academia to make the entire region carbon neutral.MC is assessing the partial conversion of its LPG terminal (Namikata Terminal) in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, into an ammonia terminal. MC is preparing to build a hub terminal that will supply approximately 1 million tons of ammonia annually to various industrial applications such as electricity, transportation and chemicals by 2030. In April 2023, MC and potential customers in the Shikoku and Chugoku regions agreed to establish “Council for utilizing Namikata Terminal as a Hub for introducing Fuel Ammonia,” and have been discussing measures to handle ammonia, operate the terminal efficiently and expand demand. Taking advantage of Namikata Terminal’s 40 years of experience as an energy hub, MC is working to develop ammonia so that it can quickly respond to decarbonization demand in the region.Ammonia does not emit CO2 when burned and can effectively use existing transportation and storage facilities without significant modifications.As a result, it is expected to contribute to low-carbon and decarbonization in various industries. Idemitsu and MC both plan to supply low-carbon ammonia produced by this project to Japan through their receiving terminals.Both companies will study the structuring of a low-carbon ammonia supply chain to realize a carbon-neutral society.Inquiry Recipient:Idemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd., Public Relations Department Public Relations www.idemitsu.com/en/contact/flow/index.html Mitsubishi CorporationCorporate Communications DepartmentTelephone:+81-3-3210-2171 Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Stable S&P rating supports Fosun’s globalization and innovation

HONG KONG, Oct 23, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - HK equity market experienced snap adjustment rally in September, and is now entering stock picking phase before new round of catalyst arrives. Now is the period when investors explore resilient names whose fundamentals is robust enough to weather market turbulence. Fosun International (00656) fits into this category, with its continuous efforts on innovation and globalization, combined with solid delivery on financial result and attractive valuation.Fosun International is one of the few leading enterprises rooted in China with global operational capabilities. Since its establishment in 1992, Fosun International has built an industrial presence in more than 35 countries and regions worldwide, continually enhancing its global operational capabilities. It has now become a global innovation-driven consumer group.Enhancing innovation capabilities while delivering robust global operational capabilitiesOver past decades, Fosun has been enhancing and deepening its globalization capabilities via launching new products and advancing its international operation.Take pharmaceutical products for example, the biosimilar HANQUYOU has pioneered the international market expansion for Fosun. With licensing agreements covering approximately 100 countries and regions and marketing approvals in 48 countries and regions, HANQUYOU has become the China-developed biosimilar with the most marketing approvals.Thanks to the overseas expansion of biosimilars, Fosun has not only established its reputation internationally, but has also gained experience in the globalization of first-in-class drugs. HANZISHUANG, the world's first anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody approved for the first-line treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) independently developed by Shanghai Henlius, is an example of success. Fosun's overseas expansion of biopharmaceutical has resulted in the advancement of both first-in-class drugs and biosimilars. In 2023, Shanghai Henlius became the first first-in-class pharmaceutical company among its peers to achieve profitability through product sales.In terms of operations, Fosun International focuses on organization evolution and global resource integration. By leveraging regional advantages, it establishes a profound industrial presence and localized operations to continuously benefit its industries and brands.For example, in the tourism sector, Fosun Tourism Group (FTG) has achieved remarkable growth through its unique asset-light operating model, global presence and global operations. FTG's subsidiary Club Med, which operates 67 resorts worldwide, achieved a record-high business volume of RMB8.89 billion in the first half of 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 10.3%. Its business in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region and the Americas continued to grow, while its business in Asia-Pacific region recovered significantly. In May 2024, Club Med signed an agreement in Oman for the launch of its first resort in the Middle East.Notably, there are very few domestic tourism companies that adopt an asset-light operating model and are equipped with global operational capabilities, making FTG a benchmark for the development of China's tourism industry. In addition, Fosun International continues to drive innovation and optimization in the consumption and insurance sectors, making positive impact on China's economic growth and industrial upgrades.As Fosun International enhances its focus on its "products + operations", its globalization capabilities are gradually bearing fruit, while its innovation capabilities are further developing. This approach has effectively strengthened its advantages in core industries such as tourism, consumption, pharmaceuticals, and insurance, garnering market optimism.S&P affirms Fosun International's "stable" rating outlook, noting that creditworthiness remains steadyRecently, Fosun International received further recognition in the international rating agencies. On 21 October, S&P released a report acknowledging Fosun's successful asset divestment and debt reduction efforts, assigning it a stable rating outlook.Specifically, S&P acknowledges the improvement of Fosun's liability structure, noting that bank loans now account for 73% of the holding company's debts, up from 46% in mid-2022. Fosun International completed a USD888 million offshore syndicate in September 2024, reflecting an increase in both bank participation and size compared to the syndicate due in May. S&P regards this as a clear evidence of recovery in offshore bank refinancing channels.The smooth access to financing channels reflects the confidence of domestic and international financial institutions in Fosun's financial position and business strategy. This not only reduces Fosun's reliance on public market financing but also allows for better support of liquidity management and greater flexibility to manage the pace of future asset divestment. S&P expects Fosun's asset recycling could continue to drive further debt reduction.The positive evaluation from S&P affirms Fosun International's strong execution of its globalization and innovation capabilities. Over the past two years, the remarkable improvement in its balance sheet and enhanced financial resilience have been evident. Additionally, this endorsement reinforces the company's investment value.Overall, as the outlook for the Chinese economy improves, especially with the implementation of key policy initiatives, the Hong Kong stock market holds significant growth potential. Thanks to its global presence, integrated innovation, and asset-light operating strategy, Fosun International is enhancing performance certainty and strengthening its financial resilience against risks. As its global operations continue to expand, industry-leading advantages strengthen, and the benefits of technology innovation accelerate, Fosun is poised to capitalize on the next wave of growth in the Hong Kong stock market.

Kesihatan Wanita Adalah Kesihatan Global berita

Kesihatan Wanita Adalah Kesihatan Global

(SeaPRwire) - Pada Forum Kepimpinan Kesihatan TIME100 di Bandaraya New York pada Selasa malam, koresponden TIME Eliana Dockterman memulakan perbincangan panel tentang kesihatan wanita dengan menyebut bahawa salah seorang penceramah—Dr. Natalia Kanem, pengarah eksekutif Tabung Penduduk Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu—memberinya gelang di belakang pentas. “Gelang ini mempunyai 28 manik, dan lima daripadanya berwarna merah, yang mewakili hari-hari di mana seorang gadis mungkin ponteng sekolah. Mengapa? Kerana kemiskinan haid,” kata Kanem. “Jadi kami memakainya untuk mengingatkan satu sama lain bahawa ada perkara yang boleh kita lakukan untuk membantunya, pastikan dia menamatkan pendidikannya.” “Saya fikir itu adalah simbol yang sangat tepat untuk apa yang akan kita bincangkan hari ini,” kata Dockterman. Kanem disertai di pentas oleh Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, pelapor khas PBB mengenai hak kesihatan, dan Dr. Asif Dhar, naib pengerusi dan ketua Perkhidmatan Perundingan Industri Sains Hayat dan Penjagaan Kesihatan A.S. untuk Deloitte Global Consulting Services. (Deloitte adalah penaja Forum Kepimpinan Kesihatan TIME100). Mofokeng bercakap tentang bagaimana dia berusaha menjadikan wanita muda merasa dialu-alukan di ruang penjagaan kesihatan, setelah beberapa wanita tidak datang ke klinik di Afrika Selatan. Dia berkata dia cuba menjadikan suasana perundingan lebih santai, malah menggunakan rujukan budaya popular untuk membuat pesakitnya merasa selesa. Dia menekankan keperluan untuk mendekati kesihatan seksual dan identiti gender dengan pesakit dalam “cara yang tidak memalukan.” “Kami mengambil mudah bahawa seni bina fizikal sebenar klinik adalah kondusif, dan seringkali itulah yang menolak golongan muda,” kata Mofokeng. “Ia membuatkan saya berfikir dengan sangat sengaja tentang ruang yang kita ciptakan dalam sistem kesihatan untuk orang ramai mendapatkan penjagaan—bahkan reka bentuknya perlu diubah untuk menjadi kondusif untuk mewujudkan perbualan terapeutik mengenai perkhidmatan.” Panelis memberi tumpuan kepada bagaimana ramai wanita telah berkongsi bahawa mereka tidak mempercayai sistem penjagaan kesihatan. Dockterman merujuk kepada Deloitte baru-baru ini, yang memetik 2019 yang mendapati bahawa satu daripada lima wanita berkata mereka merasakan bahawa penyedia perkhidmatan perubatan telah mengabaikan atau menolak kebimbangan penjagaan kesihatan mereka. Dhar menambah bahawa serangan jantung adalah pada wanita lebih kerap daripada pada lelaki. “Kepercayaan dibina berdasarkan pengalaman, dan jika seseorang mempunyai pengalaman negatif, ia memerlukan masa yang agak lama untuk membina semula kepercayaan jenis itu,” kata Dhar. Dia merujuk kepada bagaimana pelakon dan penyokong penjagaan kesihatan Halle Berry bahawa doktornya pada awalnya fikir dia mempunyai herpes, sedangkan pada hakikatnya, dia mengalami perimenopause dan atrofi vagina. “Anda dapat bayangkan hakisan kepercayaan yang mendalam,” kata Dhar. Penyelesaiannya, katanya, ialah mengajar orang ramai di ruang penjagaan kesihatan “untuk dapat mempunyai kapasiti yang tinggi untuk mendengar.” Katanya teknologi juga boleh digunakan untuk membantu menangani masalah ini, tetapi ia mestilah “direka dengan kesaksamaan kesihatan dalam fikiran.” “Sama pentingnya pasukan itu diisi dengan pegawai kesaksamaan kesihatan, dengan suara pesakit dan suara wanita,” kata Dhar. Dockterman membangkitkan satu lagi contoh industri perubatan yang menolak kesakitan wanita yang diterangkan dalam podcast “The Retrievals,” yang kisah benar tentang bagaimana wanita mengadu sakit semasa pembedahan pengambilan telur mereka tetapi diabaikan oleh klinik. Kemudian, terbongkar bahawa seorang jururawat telah mencuri fentanyl dan wanita-wanita itu telah menanggung prosedur tanpa ubat penahan sakit. Kanem berkata bahawa banyak sistem didominasi lelaki tetapi kita kini berada di saat dalam masa “di mana kita mempunyai kuasa untuk melakukan perubahan tertentu” untuk memerangi isu ini. Dia menekankan kepentingan mendengar pesakit dan mengambil serius kebimbangan mereka. “Bahagian hak asasi manusia ialah memahami nilai dan martabat diri anda, dan ia bermula dengan seorang gadis. Jadi saya fikir jangkaan bahawa kita harus mendengar kanak-kanak perempuan, memastikan mereka berpendidikan dan mereka tidak bersembunyi apabila mereka haid dan seterusnya, sehingga kita membina sistem kesihatan yang lebih baik di mana, sudah tentu secara automatik kita mendengar semua orang,” kata Kanem. Dockterman juga bertanya kepada Mofokeng tentang ringkasan yang telah dia di mahkamah A.S. menjelang pendengaran hujahan Mahkamah Agung A.S. dalam . Dalam ringkasan itu, Mofokeng berhujah bahawa menyekat hak aborsi akan melanggar perjanjian hak asasi manusia antarabangsa yang telah diratifikasi oleh A.S. “Hak untuk memiliki autonomi dan membuat keputusan mengenai penjagaan kesihatan anda adalah hak, terutamanya dalam konteks aborsi, yang harus dibincangkan antara doktor atau penjaga dan wanita—tidak sepatutnya ada campur tangan lain,” kata Mofokeng. Dia terus berkata bahawa kerajaan persekutuan tidak campur tangan dalam prosedur perubatan lain, seperti pemindahan lutut atau jantung. “Doktor dipercayai dan pesakit dipercayai untuk membuat keputusan yang tepat, jadi penggunaan kerangka undang-undang jenayah dalam contoh aborsi ini lebih jauh memalukan, mendiskriminasi, dan menolak orang ke pinggir,” kata Mofokeng. Mofokeng menambah bahawa apabila orang mula mengambil satu hak, ia sering memudahkan untuk mengambil hak yang lain—contohnya, akses kepada kontrasepsi. Menurut 2017 oleh Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia dan Institut Guttmacher, kira-kira 25 juta aborsi tidak selamat berlaku di seluruh dunia setiap tahun antara 2010 dan 2014. “Apabila kita melihat kematian ibu, kita tahu bahawa kesihatan wanita adalah kesihatan global,” kata Kanem. “Semua ini boleh dielakkan jika kita mempunyai sistem penjagaan kesihatan yang penyayang.” Forum Kepimpinan Kesihatan TIME100 telah dibentangkan oleh Merck, Deloitte, ŌURA, dan PhRMA.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Fujitsu to offer AI agents that can both collaborate and engage in high-level tasks autonomously JCN Newswire

Fujitsu to offer AI agents that can both collaborate and engage in high-level tasks autonomously

TOKYO, Oct 23, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced the global launch of its Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent, an AI service that can engage in high-level tasks both autonomously and in collaboration with humans. This service will be offered through Fujitsu Data Intelligence PaaS, Fujitsu’s all-in-one operation platform that is part of the Fujitsu Uvance business model which works to provide cross-industry solutions to societal issues. As of today, Fujitsu will offer the first AI agent, for use in business profitability discussions and business negotiations to share appropriate information and propose measures. Fujitsu plans to eventually expand its AI agent lineup to include services in production management and legal affairs, and other areas, and will implement a broader roll-out of the service during fiscal 2024. In addition, Fujitsu will incorporate Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent into its digital offerings, including Fujitsu Uvance’s Work Life Shift.Building generative AI models for business applications requires a significant investment of time and money as well as a high level of expertise and there is no guarantee that a single AI model can deliver the desired results.To solve this issue, Fujitsu has developed the Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent. This AI can think autonomously and function as a full team member, making proactive suggestions that can lead to new insights and inspire creativity.The Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent uses Fujitsu’s proprietary processing logic to break down abstract issues from conversations and generate discrete tasks. The agent creates a plan to complete the tasks and selects multiple optimal AIs to implement. Models available include those developed by Fujitsu, such as Takane, a large-scale language model for enterprises with the world’s best Japanese language capability and significant customization options, Fujitsu Kozuchi AutoML, which generates advanced machine learning models in a short amount of time, as well as various models from other companies. The Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent provides instructions to each of the AI models and provides a solution based on the feedback.For example, the AI agent for use in business meetings will autonomously participate in necessary meetings. To give an example situation, if one of the meeting participants were to state that sales revenue in the Asia Region was half of what it had been the previous year, the AI agent would select several AI and direct them to perform an analysis based on this statement. Then, as a result, the AI agent would autonomously present a clear answer, for example stating that “I will show the amount of sales revenue from April through September in the previous and current fiscal years as a bar graph. As shown in the graph, sales revenue in other regions is the same or slightly up from the previous fiscal year, and only sales revenue in the Asia Region is down. It has decreased by 54% compared to the previous fiscal year.” In this manner, Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent will support the smooth progression of meetings and will contribute to increased productivity.Fujitsu will promote the use of AI agents in a wide range of business operations to further improve the efficiency of customers' businesses, and work to achieve a world in which customers can easily benefit from business transformation via generative AI.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation. As the digital transformation partner of choice for customers in over 100 countries, our 124,000 employees work to resolve some of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Our range of services and solutions draw on five key technologies: Computing, Networks, AI, Data & Security, and Converging Technologies, which we bring together to deliver sustainability transformation. Fujitsu Limited (TSE:6702) reported consolidated revenues of 3.7 trillion yen (US$26 billion) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and remains the top digital services company in Japan by market share.
