Anticancer Agent “Tasfygo(R) Tablets 35mg” (Tasurgratinib Succinate) Approved in Japan for Biliary Tract Cancer with FGFR2 Gene Fusions or Rearrangements

TOKYO, Sept 24, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Anticancer Agent “Tasfygo(R) Tablets 35mg” (Tasurgratinib Succinate) Approved in Japan for Biliary Tract Cancer with FGFR2 Gene Fusions or RearrangementsEisai Co., Ltd. announced today that it has obtained manufacturing and marketing approval for fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor “TASFYGO® Tablets 35mg” (tasurgratinib succinate) in Japan for the treatment of patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements that progressed after cancer chemotherapy. In Japan, it has received orphan drug designation from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW), and the marketing authorization application was submitted in December 2023.This approval is based on data such as the results of a multicenter, open-label, single-arm clinical phase II trial (Study 201) conducted by Eisai in Japan and China. Study 201 enrolled 63 patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements previously treated with gemcitabine-based combination chemotherapy. The primary endpoint of this study was objective response rate (ORR), and secondary endpoints included safety.1 This study achieved its primary endpoint and exceeded a prespecified tumor response threshold (15%) with statistical significance: ORR of patients treated with TASFYGO was 30.2% (90% confidence interval (CI): 20.7-41.0) as assessed by independent imaging review. Treatment-emergent adverse events (incidence of 25% or more) observed in this study were hyperphosphataemia (81.0%), palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome (44.4%), diarrhoea (36.5%), aspartate aminotransferase increase (31.7%), alanine aminotransferase increase (28.6%) and stomatitis (25.4%).The estimated number of patients in Japan with biliary tract cancer is approximately 22,0002,3 with approximately 25% of the five-year relative survival rate,2 making it an intractable cancer with the second worst prognosis following pancreatic cancer. Since drug therapy options are limited in comparison with other cancers, it is a disease with significant unmet medical needs. FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements are observed in approximately 14% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, which accounts for 15-30% of biliary tract cancers.4 FGFR genetic aberrations such as the gene fusions are known to be deeply involved in the proliferation, survival and migration of cancer cells as well as tumor angiogenesis and drug resistance. As these genetic aberrations in FGFRs have been observed in various other types of cancers as well as biliary tract cancer, there is growing interest in FGFRs as a promising target for cancer therapy. TASFYGO is thought to show tumor growth inhibition by selectively inhibiting FGFR1, 2 and 3, and blocking those signals.5,6 In non-clinical studies, the antitumor activity of TASFYGO was confirmed in cells expressing the FGFR2-fusion genes, which were identified by the National Cancer Center Japan (Headquarters: Tokyo) through large-scale genomic analysis of Japanese biliary tract cancer. The companion diagnostic test to detect FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements for the use of TASFYGO in biliary tract cancer, “AmoyDx® FGFR2 Break-apart FISH Probe Kit” by Nihon Stery, Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo) was approved in August 2024.7Eisai aims to make continuous efforts to meet the diversified needs of and increase the benefits provided to patients with cancer, their families, and healthcare professionals, by delivering TASFYGO as a new treatment option for biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements.1. Product Information1) Brand nameTASFYGO® Tablets 35mg2) Generic nameTasurgratinib succinate3) IndicationsUnresectable biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements that progressed after cancer chemotherapy4) Dosage and AdministrationThe usual adult dose of tasurgratinib is 140mg orally once daily under fasting conditions. The dose may be reduced appropriately according to the condition of the patient.About “TASFYGO® Tablets 35mg” (tasurgratinib succinate, Development Code: E7090) Discovered in-house by Eisai’s Tsukuba Research Laboratories, TASFYGO is an orally available novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor that demonstrates selective inhibitory activity against fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3. Distinct from prior known FGFR inhibitors, TASFYGO has a basic structure which lacks the dimethoxyphenyl moiety, and in a kinetic interaction analysis study, it was observed that TASFYGO demonstrates antitumor activities due to inhibition of kinase activity with a binding mode (Type V) that exhibits rapid and potent binding as well as high selectivity to FGFR. 5,6In non-clinical studies for biliary tract cancer, NIH/3T3 cells expressing FGFR2-AHCYL1, FGFR2-KCTD1, FGFR2-BICC1 or FGFR2-TXLNA as FGFR2-fusion genes, provided by the National Cancer Center Japan, were used. The antitumor activity of TASFYGO against FGFR2 gene fusion-positive cancers was confirmed in these models by evaluating its effect on anchorage-independent growth and subcutaneously transplanted tumor growth in mice.6A Phase I clinical trial is underway in Japan in patients with estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer.(1) Furuse J. et al.

Autobrains Unveils Air2Road: Cutting-Edge Localization Technology for Automated Driving ACN Newswire

Autobrains Unveils Air2Road: Cutting-Edge Localization Technology for Automated Driving

MUNICH, GERMANY & TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, Sept 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Autobrains, a global leader in AI-powered automotive solutions, is pleased to unveil its latest innovation: Air2Road, a breakthrough localization technology developed to enhance the capabilities of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving solutions. Powered by Autobrains' Liquid AI Technology, Air2Road delivers precise, real-time vehicle localization for safe and efficient navigation, even in challenging conditions such as occlusions, adverse weather, and complex urban environments.Autobrains' Air2Road Localization TechnologyFusing aerial images with ground images for highly precise and reliable localization.As the automotive industry accelerates toward fully autonomous vehicles, reliable and accurate localization is crucial for determining both vehicle position and the driving environment. Traditional localization systems, heavily reliant on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or crowd-sourced maps, face significant challenges such as limited coverage, high costs, and susceptibility to interference. Additionally, these systems rely on a single source of sensor-based information, leading to frequent errors and over-reliance on one type of input during driving."Air2Road is a game-changer for autonomous driving technology," said Igal Raichelgauz, CEO and Founder of Autobrains. "By providing multimodal redundancy and unmatched precision, Air2Road pushes the boundaries of what's achievable in vehicle navigation and safety, ensuring autonomous systems operate reliably under even in the most challenging conditions."Air2Road sets a new standard for vehicle localization by combining Signatures derived from two independent modalities - aerial imagery and ground-based perception - ensuring multimodal redundancy and accuracy. These Signatures are sparse binary hyperdimensional representations of both the driving environment and objects within it. This innovative approach overcomes many of the limitations inherent in traditional systems. These include:Multimodal Redundancy: By creating a joint representation of Signatures from two independent modalities (aerial images and ground-based data), Air2Road enables an unprecedented advantage of multimodal redundancy. Other existing systems use a fleet of vehicles with similar ground-based data sources, which increases repetitive mistakes and dependency on a single source of information.Full coverage: Unlike GNSS-based systems, Air2Road, with its Signature-based technology, continues to function effectively even under trees, bridges, between buildings, and in any other scenario with bad reception of the GNSS signal.Aerial Perception: Aerial images generate additional data layers-such as road markings, traffic signs, and obstacles-enabling safer and more efficient driving decisions and a redundancy to real-time perception.Scalable and Efficient: Traditional localization systems, such as crowd-sourced maps, require a fleet of vehicles to repeatedly traverse roads for data harvesting and building the map before the localization service becomes available for any vehicle. In contrast, Air2Road, enables the first vehicle on the road to achieve precise localization instantly, ensuring scalable deployment across various regions without compromising accuracy.Cost-Effective: Air2Road is compatible with affordable aerial imagery from multiple vendors, and its compressed Signatures technology enables large areas to be stored directly on the vehicle. This allows for a low-memory, low-bandwidth system, eliminating the need for constant cloud connectivity.Environment-Aware Path Planning: By leveraging real-time data on road conditions, traffic flow, and parking areas, Air2Road supports safer, more optimized navigation.Inspired by the human brain's ability to process multisensory information, Air2Road replicates mechanisms such as situational awareness and attention focus to ensure accurate decision-making. By filtering out irrelevant data and focusing on critical elements like road edges and buildings, the system significantly improves localization precision.With its data-driven approach and revolutionary dual-modality technology, Air2Road is poised to redefine the future of localization, facilitating safer and more reliable autonomous driving solutions.For more information about Autobrains and its cutting-edge Liquid AI and ADAS solutions, please visit autobrains.ai.Contact InformationSophia EichlerDirector of Marketingmedia@autobrains.ai+49 15167066494SOURCE: Autobrains Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Highlights:An additional two (2) drill holes for approximately 1,188.1 metres (m) were completed during the Summer 2024 Drill Campaign and reported herein.Drill hole CS24-022 encountered 14 spodumene-pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 52.3 m.Drill hole CS24-023 encountered 15 spodumene-pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 188.6 m.Vancouver, BC, Sept 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Summer 2024 Drill Program at the Cisco Lithium Property (the "Property" or the "Cisco Property") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada.The Summer 2024 Drill Campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property has concluded with a total of five (5) drill holes for approximately 2,609.9 m completed. Since May 2024, the Company has drilled a total of 6,359.7 m over 17 holes. All drill holes intercepted pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified."To say it's been a very productive first drill season for Q2 Metals at our Cisco Lithium Property is an understatement," said Q2 Metals President and CEO Alicia Milne. "The property continues to deliver, and we are pleased with what we're seeing and are eagerly awaiting the results from the now 13 drills holes that are yet to be reported.""We have been incredibly fortunate to be able to have built as much value in an early-stage project in four months. We have just started on the Cisco Project and look forward to receiving the assays on the holes drilled as we continue to move forward with Cisco," said Q2 Metals VP of Exploration Neil McCallum.The Summer 2024 Drill Campaign was focused on exploring the connection of the wide, continuous pegmatite zones that were encountered in holes CS24-010, CS24-018 and CS24-021. The last two holes of the season continued to confirm and expand the understanding of the main pegmatite zone.The geological team has completed the core cutting and logging of the last two (2) drill holes (CS24-022 to 023) of the Summer 2024 Campaign and the samples have been dispatched to the SGS Canada preparation laboratory located in Val-d'Or, QC for mineral analysis to confirm the presence of lithium. The visual results of drill holes CS24-022 and CS24-023 are herein reported.Summer 2024 Drilling UpdateFigure 1. Map of Drilling area, Cisco PropertyDrill hole CS24-022 was drilled on the same line as hole CS24-018 and collared 200 metres behind it, encountering 14 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals. Nine (9) intervals were greater than 10 m wide, with the widest individual interval measuring 52.3 m.CS24-023 was drilled at the same collar location as hole CS24-020 in order to test the southern strike direction of the main large continuous pegmatite zone. Drill hole CS24-023 encountered 15 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals of which eight (8) intervals were greater than 10 m wide, with the widest individual interval measuring 188.6 m.Table 1.

Summary of Drill Hole Collar Information, Cisco Property (CS24-022 to 023)The mineralized intervals in all the holes are not necessarily representative of the true width and the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.Cautionary Statement: The presence of pegmatites does not confirm the presence of lithium (spodumene or other lithium minerals). Pegmatites are fractionated coarse grained igneous rocks commonly associated with lithium mineralization; however, many pegmatites do not contain mineralization. The presence of any mineralization can only be confirmed with assaying.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 km east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAll drill core samples are shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade will be multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li2O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.

Mengapa Keuntungan Baru Kamala Harris dalam Tinjauan Pendapat Adalah Perkara Besar berita

Mengapa Keuntungan Baru Kamala Harris dalam Tinjauan Pendapat Adalah Perkara Besar

(SeaPRwire) - Artikel ini adalah sebahagian daripada The D.C. Brief, buletin politik TIME. Daftar untuk menerima cerita seperti ini di peti masuk anda. Bagi mereka yang tinggal di dalam gelembung politik presiden, tiga bulan terakhir boleh memberikan seseorang perasaan pening. Di luar rentetan detik-detik yang mencatat sejarah—Joe Biden mengalami saat senior yang paling memalukan pernah di TV langsung; Donald Trump terselamat daripada satu, tetapi dua percubaan pembunuhan; Kamala Harris benar-benar menguasai dalam perbahasannya menentang Trump—perkara-perkara itu hanya berasa berbeza. Tetapi memandangkan tinjauan pendapat terus menunjukkan perlumbaan yang sangat ketat, adalah munasabah untuk mengatakan bahawa walaupun menukar calon tidak akan bermakna banyak dalam sebuah negara yang begitu terpecah di sepanjang garis parti. Nah, NBC News adalah dengan yang diambil pada 13-17 September dan satu soalan khususnya menonjol sebagai pengesahan peralihan dalam suasana perlumbaan, jika bukan asasnya. Sejak Julai, kefahaman Harris di kalangan pengundi meningkat sebanyak 16 mata, lompatan terbesar yang dilihat oleh unit tinjauan pendapat NBC dalam kefahaman mana-mana ahli politik sejak lonjakan Presiden George W. Bush tepat selepas serangan pengganas 11 September 2001. Sebelum Biden keluar, tinjauan pendapat Harris berada di bawah paras air—dengan 50% negara mempunyai pandangan yang tidak menguntungkan, dan hanya 32% yang menguntungkan. Kini, tinjauan pendapat yang sama mendapati 48% melihatnya secara positif dan 45% negatif—perubahan drastik dalam jangka masa yang agak singkat. Di sini, konteks benar-benar penting. NBC News mula melakukan tinjauan pendapat mengenai Harris sebagai tokoh kebangsaan pada Ogos 2020, ketika Biden dia sebagai pasangannya. Sepanjang masa itu, dia tidak pernah melihat nombor seperti ini. Penarafan kefahaman tertinggi dalam buku bertarikh Oktober 2020, ketika dia mempunyai 42% positif dan 38% tidak menguntungkan. Sebagai Naib Presiden, nombor terbaiknya datang pada bulan pertama dalam tugasnya, ketika perpecahan 41% yang sama pada Januari 2021. Kefahaman adalah proksi yang tidak sempurna untuk keupayaan calon untuk mengeluarkan pengundi, tetapi ia akhirnya boleh membuat perbezaan yang besar, terutamanya dalam perlumbaan yang rapat ini. Untuk sedikit konteks lagi, pada ketika ini pada 2016, NBC News telah mencalonkan Hillary Clinton getaran positif daripada hanya 37% dan Trump menggegarkan 28% yang lebih teruk lagi. Pada bulan September empat tahun kemudian, Trump membawa pandangan positif 41% manakala Biden mengalahkannya dengan 43% yang baik dalam tinjauan pendapat NBC News. Dalam kitaran ini, mana-mana penjelasan boleh menjadi benar secara serentak di sini. Demokrat telah menghabiskan berbulan-bulan dalam yang tidak begitu senyap mengenai prospek Biden untuk menang dan berkhidmat untuk penggal kedua. Gerbang selepas persembahan perbahasan yang malang menunjukkan Biden berhenti dan tidak sekata di atas pentas dengan Trump. Pertukaran Harris dan perkenalan semula yang luar biasa telah membuang mana-mana perbandingan kepada Selina Meyer Veep, seperti yang dijelaskan oleh Charlotte Alter TIME dalam cerita sampul majalah . Dengan undi yang dilukis semula, tiba-tiba Trump adalah lelaki tua yang nampaknya selangkah di belakang, kerana dia untuk mempromosikan teori konspirasi yang menyinggung perasaan sesetengah Republikan tegar mengenai prospek sekuel. Pada titik terakhir itu, data NBC News menunjukkan peralihan yang agak jelas. Apabila peninjau pendapat pada bulan Julai memasukkan dalam kaji selidik hipotesis tentang bagaimana Harris mungkin berprestasi jika dia bertanding sebagai calon, perkara-perkara kelihatan suram bagi Demokrat. Trump masih mempunyai kelebihan ke atas Harris, 47% berbanding 45%. Sekarang bahawa ia bukan lagi kemungkinan tetapi sangat realiti, Harris telah mendakwa kelebihan ke atas Trump, 49% berbanding 44%. Dalam jurang yang agak singkat sejak Biden meninggalkan jawatannya, telah berlaku peralihan tujuh mata memihak kepada Demokrat. (Tinjauan pendapat lain menunjukkan dia tidak begitu jauh di hadapan.) Salah satu faktor terbesar dalam lonjakan Harris telah menjadi persoalan sama ada dia boleh melakukan tugas itu. Ketika Biden masih bertanding, hanya 21% pengundi berpendapat bahawa dia lebih sesuai dari segi fizikal dan mental untuk mengisi peranan itu daripada Trump. Kini, 54% pengundi berpendapat bahawa Harris boleh melakukannya. Mungkin para amatur yang menyamar sebagai pakar perubatan tidak adil dalam keputusan mereka tentang kebolehan Biden, tetapi sebaik sahaja imej itu ditetapkan, ia terbukti hampir mustahil untuk digoyahkan. Bagi pihaknya, kempen Harris dilihat mengingatkan penyokong pada hujung minggu bahawa mereka akan terus berkempen sebagai underdog, terutamanya kerana Trump kelihatan lebih baik dalam negeri medan perang daripada dia di peringkat nasional. Kedua-dua tangan kanan di ibu pejabat dan calon itu sendiri menekankan bahawa ini masih merupakan kempen yang berjalan dalam margin ralat, dan mereka perlu menjalankan sekurang-kurangnya dua atau tiga mata di peringkat nasional untuk berpeluang menang dalam Kolej Pilihan Raya di mana Republikan mempunyai kelebihan semula jadi. Jadi, memandangkan kempen memasuki peringkat akhir enam minggu sebelum Hari Pilihan Raya—dan pengundi di sesetengah negeri sudah mula mengundi—adalah wajar untuk menghargai betapa perlumbaan ini telah berubah dalam cara besar dan kecil. Walaupun ia masih merupakan perlumbaan dalam 60 tahun terakhir, ia bukan perlumbaan ketat yang sama seperti tiga bulan lalu. Tanah itu memang berubah dengan dramatik. Tetapi inilah perkara tentang tanah: sebaik sahaja ia menjadi tidak stabil, ia menjadi lebih mudah untuk bergerak. Fahami apa yang penting di Washington. .Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Kenapa Pelabur Patut Merangkul ‘Ekonomi Peluang’ Kamala Harris berita

Kenapa Pelabur Patut Merangkul ‘Ekonomi Peluang’ Kamala Harris

(SeaPRwire) - Objektif ekonomi teras Kamala Harris adalah untuk membina “ekonomi peluang” untuk Amerika. Pada bulan Ogos, beliau Konvensyen Kebangsaan Demokrat bahawa beliau akan “menyatukan tenaga kerja dan pekerja dan pemilik perniagaan kecil dan usahawan dan syarikat-syarikat Amerika untuk mewujudkan pekerjaan.” Terdapat satu lagi pengundi yang akan menjadi penting dalam menentukan kejayaan, atau kegagalan, matlamat Harris—iaitu, pasaran modal. Jika terpilih, cabaran kepada Pentadbiran Harris adalah untuk menghasilkan dasar yang menyebabkan pelabur global menerima pakai “ekonomi peluang.” Dua faktor paling penting untuk pelabur ialah pertama, ekonomi yang berkembang dan kedua, pasaran saham yang meningkat. Sudah tentu, terdapat banyak faktor yang akan menentukan kedua-dua hasil tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat bukti kukuh bahawa tahap ketidakseimbangan yang lebih rendah berkorelasi dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi keseluruhan yang lebih tinggi, dan syarikat-syarikat yang mempunyai amalan inklusif mewujudkan nilai yang berterusan untuk pemegang saham mereka. Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Terbenam dalam visi Harris adalah anggapan bahawa pertumbuhan ekonomi tidak perlu dikorbankan sebagai balasan untuk kesepakatan yang lebih adil untuk pekerja yang membina kelas menengah yang kuat. Sebenarnya, pertumbuhan ekonomi telah lebih kuat di Amerika Syarikat semasa zaman ketidakseimbangan yang lebih rendah dan keadilan yang lebih tinggi untuk pekerja. Seperti yang dikatakan ahli ekonomi Heather Boushey dalam Unbound, How Inequality Constricts Our Economy and What We Can Do About It, apabila orang ramai tidak mempunyai peluang, seluruh ekonomi kehilangan bakat dan idea, yang melemahkan pasaran kita dan menjejas pertumbuhan ekonomi. , ekonomi AS hanya berkembang 2.6% secara purata setiap tahun (melambatkan kepada hanya 1.6% dalam dekad 2006-16). Era pertumbuhan rendah ini dicirikan oleh peningkatan ketidakseimbangan dan kelas menengah yang mengecil. telah mendapati bahawa daripada 1980 hingga 2014 pendapatan purata 1% teratas rakyat Amerika meningkat daripada $420,000 kepada $1.3 juta, manakala separuh bawah rakyat Amerika mengalami pendapatan yang terhenti dalam tempoh yang sama. Ini adalah pembalikan keadaan ekonomi yang berlaku di Amerika dalam tiga dekad selepas Perang Dunia II apabila kedua-duanya bersama-sama dengan pengembangan ekonomi. Ekonomi berkembang sekitar 4% secara purata setiap tahun sepanjang tempoh ini apabila negara mengalami ketidakseimbangan pendapatan yang jauh lebih rendah. Perbezaan antara gaji CEO dan pekerja purata dalam tempoh selepas perang secara jelas menunjukkan yang telah berkembang selama beberapa dekad. Sepanjang 20 tahun pertama selepas Perang Dunia II, CEO memperoleh 21 kali ganda gaji pekerja purata. Menjelang tahun 2020-an, gaji CEO telah melonjak kepada daripada pekerja purata, secara ketara meluaskan jurang antara pekerja biasa dan eksekutif korporat. Orang yang munasabah sepatutnya bersetuju bahawa menangani ketidakseimbangan ini bukanlah sosialisme. Sebaliknya, ia adalah penyelarasan yang adil dan perlu, walaupun ia akan menyebabkan kesakitan kepada anggota masyarakat kita yang paling banyak dibayar. Harris berdiri di atas landasan yang kukuh dalam kepercayaannya bahawa mencapai tahap pertumbuhan ekonomi keseluruhan yang lebih tinggi tidak perlu dilakukan dengan mengorbankan kesejahteraan pekerja. Sebenarnya, sejarah menunjukkan bahawa pengembangan ekonomi lebih berkemungkinan dengan asas kemakmuran yang lebih luas. Nilai jangka panjang “Ekonomi peluang” juga akan dinilai berdasarkan pasaran saham keseluruhan dan penilaian syarikat tertentu. Mengenai faktor ini, tidak ada kekurangan bukti untuk menunjukkan bahawa syarikat yang menyediakan pampasan dan faedah yang kompetitif, serta peluang kemajuan untuk pekerja mereka, adalah perniagaan yang lebih mampan dan mewujudkan nilai yang lebih baik untuk pemegang saham mereka. Perkara ini ditunjukkan oleh yang menjejaki 100 syarikat awam teratas di Amerika Syarikat yang membayar gaji yang adil dan layak, menawarkan faedah pekerja yang kompetitif, dan mengutamakan mobiliti ke atas untuk pekerja mereka yang bergaji rendah. Sejak penubuhannya, Indeks Just 100 telah mengatasi Russell 1000 sebanyak 44.8%—menunjukkan bahawa syarikat yang melabur dalam pekerja mewujudkan nilai pemegang saham jangka panjang yang dipertingkatkan. Begitu juga, ETF “Harbor Human Capital Factor (HAPI),” ciptaan ahli ekonomi Dan Ariely, mengenal pasti firma yang mempunyai budaya pro-pekerja, dengan alasan bahawa ini mendorong kejayaan syarikat dan akhirnya harga sahamnya. HAPI telah secara konsisten S&P 500 dengan memberikan lebih daripada dua kali ganda keuntungan S&P. Pelabur yang berfikiran sama, pemimpin perniagaan dan kerajaan harus bersatu untuk membina “ekonomi peluang” ini dan mengebumikan, sekali dan untuk semua, pembohongan bahawa pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kejayaan korporat akan terjejas jika pekerja dilayan dengan adil. Seperti yang dikatakan , bekas Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif American Express di Konvensyen Kebangsaan Demokrat, “ia mungkin, sebenarnya, perlu… untuk menjadi pro-perniagaan dan pro-pekerja.” Sejak selepas , saya telah bekerja dengan beberapa pelabur institusi terbesar di dunia, serta CEO dan pemimpin sivik yang berpandangan jauh, untuk menggalakkan syarikat yang memperlakukan pekerja mereka dengan adil, menerima peranan positif mereka dalam masyarakat, dan komited untuk membina yang lebih . Pergerakan ini boleh berkembang, dan kerja kita akan didorong oleh pembaharuan undang-undang dan peraturan yang dirancang dengan baik yang mewujudkan “ekonomi peluang” yang dinamik, mampan, inklusif dan dipercayai.

Ini termasuk vaksin untuk selesema, RSV (untuk bayi dan warga emas) dan, bagi sesiapa yang berumur enam bulan ke atas, COVID-19. Walaupun vaksin mRNA baharu daripada Moderna dan Pfizer-BioNTech telah menguasai cerita vaksin COVID-19, terdapat satu lagi jenis suntikan yang menggunakan teknologi pembuatan vaksin yang lebih tradisional, yang digunakan oleh Novavax. Vaksin ini menjana minat di kalangan sesetengah orang dalam talian yang lebih suka pendekatan yang lebih terbukti dan benar di sebalik suntikan syarikat itu, jadi ini adalah apa yang anda perlu tahu. Bagaimana vaksin Novavax berbeza daripada vaksin mRNA? Novavax menggunakan strategi vaksin berasaskan protein, yang bermaksud orang yang mendapatkan vaksin menerima protein yang dihasilkan oleh virus yang kemudiannya dilihat sebagai asing oleh sistem imun badan mereka dan menghasilkan tindak balas terhadapnya. Vaksin mRNA, sebaliknya, termasuk cebisan bahan genetik mRNA dari protein lonjakan virus COVID-19. Novavax dengan pertama kali memasukkan gen untuk protein virus SARS-CoV-2 ke dalam virus serangga, kemudian menggunakan virus yang dimuatkan ini untuk menjangkiti ulat bulu, atau larva, rama-rama yang menjangkiti kubis. Menggunakan larva, virus itu kemudian menghasilkan lebih banyak salinan dirinya, dan secara lalai, lebih banyak salinan protein SARS-CoV-2 juga, dan protein COVID-19 inilah yang kemudiannya digunakan dalam vaksin. Bob Walker, ketua pegawai perubatan di Novavax, berkata kaedah ini melakukan tugas yang baik untuk meniru cara virus SARS-CoV-2 menjangkiti badan secara semula jadi, yang secara teori boleh membawa kepada beberapa faedah dari segi tindak balas imun yang dihasilkan oleh vaksin, walaupun syarikat dan lain-lain masih menjalankan kajian yang lebih mendalam untuk mengetahui sama ada itu adalah kes. “Struktur ini menyerupai virus dari segi bagaimana sel imun [badan] mungkin melihatnya—panjang penuh protein lonjakan yang mewakili konfigurasi semula jadi protein virus,” katanya. “Dan itu mempunyai beberapa kelebihan berpotensi.” Protein itu digabungkan dengan apa yang pembuat vaksin panggil adjuvant, atau sebatian tambahan yang mengaktifkan sistem imun lebih lanjut untuk meningkatkan tindak balas badan terhadap virus. “Salah satu kelebihan utama adjuvant ialah ia berfungsi bukan sahaja pada sisi antibodi dari segi tindak balas imun, tetapi ia juga mengaktifkan sel T,” kata Walker. “Dan sel T mempunyai banyak fungsi dalam badan—satu adalah untuk melawan virus, dan yang lain adalah untuk membantu sel penghasil antibodi untuk menghasilkan lebih banyak antibodi.” Adakah vaksin Novavax diluluskan oleh Pentadbiran Makanan dan Dadah A.S. (FDA)? Vaksin COVID-19 Novavax belum lagi diluluskan oleh FDA, tetapi ia boleh didapati di A.S. di bawah kebenaran penggunaan kecemasan, yang dikeluarkan oleh FDA kepada syarikat itu pada Julai 2022, dan membenarkan syarikat untuk membuat dan mengedarkan produk semasa keadaan kecemasan kesihatan awam sementara FDA terus menyemak set data yang lebih luas mengenai keselamatan dan keberkesanannya. Vaksin Novavax adalah selamat dan berkesan, tetapi agensi sedang menyemak data yang lebih kukuh dan jangka panjang. Novavax telah memfailkan permohonan untuk kelulusan penuh untuk vaksin COVID-19nya dan menjangkakan keputusan daripada FDA menjelang April 2025. Pfizer-BioNTech dan Moderna telah menerima kelulusan untuk orang dewasa untuk vaksin COVID-19 mereka, masing-masing pada dan , selepas pertama kali menerima . Garis masa mereka yang lebih pendek adalah disebabkan terutamanya kepada fakta bahawa teknologi mRNA memperkemaskan masa pembangunan dan pembuatan untuk suntikan. Kerana proses pembuatan vaksin Novavax memerlukan lebih banyak masa, dan pelbagai jenis ujian, Walker berkata ia mengambil masa lebih lama untuk melengkapkan keperluan pengawalseliaan untuk kelulusan. Tetapi “dengan setiap musim yang berikutnya, kita menjadi lebih cepat dan lebih cekap dalam pembuatan vaksin kita, dan kita fikir kita akan dapat memendekkan perbezaan masa itu,” katanya. “Tetapi saya tidak tahu sama ada kita akan pernah mengatasi [garis masa teknologi mRNA] hanya kerana perbezaan teknologi dan keperluan ujian.” Vaksin mana yang memberikan perlindungan yang lebih baik terhadap COVID-19? yang dijalankan oleh penyelidik akademik selama beberapa tahun yang lalu menunjukkan secara konsisten bahawa terdapat sedikit perbezaan utama antara vaksin mRNA dan Novavax dari segi tindak balas imun yang mereka hasilkan. Penyelidik secara amnya mengukur ini dengan melihat tahap antibodi yang meneutralkan yang dihasilkan badan terhadap SARS-CoV-2, yang setanding di seluruh tiga vaksin pengeluar. Beberapa kajian juga telah melihat tindak balas sel T yang juga kelihatan serupa di antara ketiga-tiga suntikan setakat ini. Adakah satu vaksin lebih baik dalam melindungi terhadap varian COVID-19 yang baru? Pada musim panas, bahawa pembuat vaksin menyasarkan strain KP.2 SARS-CoV-2 untuk musim luruh dan musim sejuk yang akan datang, dan kajian dari Moderna, PfizerBioNTech, dan Novavax menunjukkan bahawa setiap vaksin yang dikemas kini daripada syarikat itu memberikan perlindungan yang kuat terhadap strain ini serta beberapa strain yang lebih baharu yang telah muncul dalam beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini. Itu kerana semua varian itu masih berkaitan dan merupakan sebahagian daripada kumpulan Omicron. Saya pernah dengar vaksin Novavax mempunyai lebih sedikit kesan sampingan. Betulkah? Tidak ada cukup perbandingan yang ketat antara kesan sampingan dan peristiwa buruk antara vaksin mRNA dan suntikan Novavax; sebaliknya setiap pengeluar telah memberikan FDA dengan laporan kesan sampingan yang telah dilihat oleh setiap syarikat dalam kajian masing-masing. Tetapi nampaknya setakat ini, orang yang menerima vaksin Novavax mungkin melaporkan lebih sedikit peristiwa seperti demam, sakit otot, dan sakit kepala berbanding mereka yang menerima sama ada vaksin mRNA. Semua vaksin COVID-19 daripada ketiga-tiga pengeluar telah dikaitkan dengan peningkatan risiko keradangan otot jantung, atau perikarditis atau miokarditis—kebanyakan yang melibatkan risiko dengan vaksin Novavax telah datang dari luar A.S. Vaksin mana yang patut saya dapatkan tahun ini? “Vaksin terbaik ialah vaksin yang berada di lengan anda,” kata Walker. “Kita berada dalam kedudukan yang bernasib baik kerana kita mempunyai pelbagai pilihan, dan tidak bergantung pada satu teknologi untuk mencapai tahap perlindungan dan keselamatan yang sangat tinggi. FDA telah menentukan bahawa semua vaksin ini adalah selamat dan berkesan.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Komen itu telah membahagikan pengguna media sosial—sesetengah daripada mereka telah memuji pendiriannya, yang lain telah mengkritiknya kerana menjadi " " dan menuduhnya melakukan kesetaraan palsu dan gagal untuk membela komuniti LGBT memandangkan yang jelas daripada lawan Republikan Harris, bekas Presiden . [video id=rULD5nKs autostart="viewable"] “Saya mempunyai begitu banyak masalah dengan kerajaan kita dalam semua cara,” kata Roan kepada the Guardian. “Terdapat begitu banyak perkara yang saya ingin ubah. Jadi saya tidak merasakan tekanan untuk mengesahkan seseorang. Terdapat masalah di kedua-dua belah pihak. Saya menggalakkan orang ramai untuk menggunakan kemahiran pemikiran kritis anda, gunakan undi anda—undi kecil, undi untuk apa yang berlaku di bandar anda.” Kempen Harris tidak mengelak daripada cuba mengaitkan dirinya dengan populariti Roan. Pada bulan Julai, beberapa hari selepas perlumbaan presiden dan Harris mengambil alih sebagai calon Demokrat, kempen itu menyiarkan di media sosial klip lagu Roan pada tahun 2023 "Femininomenon." Dan pada bulan Ogos, selepas Harris mengumumkan pemilihannya untuk menjadi pasangannya, kempen itu mula menjual topi penyamaran yang digayakan mengikut barangan dagangan "Midwest Princess" Roan. ???? — Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) is this real — Chappell Roan (@ChappellRoan) Tetapi penolakan Roan untuk memberi pengesahan tidak seharusnya mengejutkan, selepas penyanyi—yang terkenal kerana mempromosikan komuniti LGBT dalam muzik dan persembahannya, dan yang —telah mengambil pendirian politik sebelumnya menentang pentadbiran Biden-Harris, terutamanya mengenai isu hak transgender dan konflik berterusan di Gaza. Pada Governors Ball 2024 di New York pada bulan Jun, Roan bahawa dia telah menolak undangan untuk membuat persembahan di sambutan Pride Rumah Putih. “Kami menginginkan kebebasan, keadilan, dan kebebasan untuk semua,” katanya. “Apabila anda melakukan itu, barulah saya akan datang.” Berpakaian dalam kostum Patung Liberty di atas pentas, Roan merujuk kepada puisi Emma Lazarus di monumen itu: “Tetapi sekiranya anda terlupa apa yang terukir pada jari kaki saya yang cantik: 'Berikan saya orang-orang anda yang letih, orang-orang miskin anda, orang-orang yang berhimpun, yang mendambakan untuk bernafas bebas,'” katanya . “Itu bermaksud kebebasan dalam hak transgender, itu bermaksud kebebasan dalam hak wanita, dan … ia terutamanya bermaksud kebebasan untuk semua orang yang ditindas di wilayah yang diduduki.” Roan kemudian menjelaskan kepada bahawa dia tidak mahu “menjadi monyet untuk Pride,” meringkaskan pandangan politiknya sebagai “Saya cantik, ‘F— kerajaan, dan f— semua yang berlaku sekarang.’ Saya tidak mempunyai pihak kerana saya membenci kedua-dua pihak, dan saya sangat malu dengan semua yang berlaku sekarang.” Berita mengenai penolakan pengesahan Roan baru-baru ini, bagaimanapun, telah disambut dengan reaksi negatif dalam talian. “Baiklah jadi dia adalah Republikan, faham,” baca dengan 4 juta tontonan. “Anda tidak boleh meminjam dari estetika seret dan merangkul seksualiti anda dan kemudian berpura-pura bahawa parti yang akan mengkriminalkan kebahagiaan kita adalah sama dengan parti yang melindunginya,” seorang pengguna media sosial lain . “Keupayaan Chappell Roan untuk menjadi suara akal yang menyegarkan sekali dan kemudian menjadi orang yang paling menjengkelkan, bodoh, dan tidak bergurau pada masa berikutnya benar-benar harus dikaji,” . “Tfw anda tidak mahu mengasingkan peminat kiri anda ATAU keluarga konservatif anda jadi akhirnya hanya berbunyi bodoh :(” . Yang lain telah membenarkan keengganan Roan untuk mengesahkan Harris. “chappell roan adalah penyokong vokal Palestin jadi semua orang yang mengatakan dia adalah Republikan rahsia kerana tidak mengesahkan harris perlu meletakkan jari mereka dari butang petikan dan memahami mengapa gen z yang telah berada di bawah perhatian selama kurang dari setahun mungkin tidak mahu sejajar dengan neolibs,” seorang pengguna . “Dia mengkritik enjin pengesahan selebriti dan meminta kita untuk terlibat secara langsung,” . “Berhenti mengusik Chappell Roan,” . “Dia tidak menyakiti sesiapa pun dengan melakukan perkara sendiri dan menolak untuk menyertai kultus politik.” Bagi pihaknya, Roan memberitahu Rolling Stone: “Ia bukan begitu hitam dan putih yang anda benci satu dan anda suka yang lain.” Dan dia juga telah menjelaskan bahawa dia tidak mengesyorkan agar orang ramai tidak berminat. “Sekarang, ia lebih penting daripada sebelumnya untuk menggunakan undi anda, dan saya akan melakukan apa sahaja untuk melindungi hak sivil orang ramai, terutamanya komuniti LGBTQ+,” katanya, malah menambah: “Saya berasa bernasib baik untuk hidup pada zaman sejarah yang luar biasa ketika seorang wanita berkulit berwarna adalah calon presiden.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Lack of quality data and disconnected tech stack impacting Singapore businesses amid rising costs and competition: HubSpot Research ACN Newswire

Lack of quality data and disconnected tech stack impacting Singapore businesses amid rising costs and competition: HubSpot Research

According to HubSpot’s research:High costs is the leading challenge faced by Singapore business (44%) with one in five (22%) saying it’s the biggest challenge they are facing.Intense competition (39%), rising costs of reaching audiences (35%), and channel saturation (34%) emerged as other top challenges in attracting and retaining customers among Singapore businesses.Less than half (43%) of Singapore businesses strongly agree that their data and systems are effectively interconnected to provide a cohesive and comprehensive view of their customers.The average business in Singapore has to switch between 58+ distinct applications just to manage their customer interactions.Nearly eight in ten (76%) of Singapore businesses also do not have enough data or the right data to make their AI usage effective, while about a third (34%) have not ‘started talking about generative AI at all’.SINGAPORE, Sept 23, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - HubSpot, the customer platform for scaling businesses, has released new data showing that many Singapore companies are contending with insufficient quality data and a disjointed tech stack even as costs and competition continue to rise.Andy Pitre, EVP of Product, HubSpot, launching Breeze at INBOUND 2024Go-to-market teams—marketing, sales, and service—hold the keys to customer happiness, revenue generation, and ultimately business growth. But today, GTM teams are struggling to keep up, let alone drive growth, thanks to intense competition, increasing costs to reach prospects and customers, and channel saturation. To make matters worse, their tech stacks are falling short.Nearly half of Singapore businesses participating in a HubSpot survey cited high costs (44%) as their number one challenge, with one in five (22%) saying it’s the biggest challenge they are facing. This aligns with data from the Singapore Business Federation, which identified increasing manpower and utilities costs as key contributors to business expenses.The survey also found that intense competition (39%), rising costs of reaching prospects and customers (35%), and channel saturation (34%) are impacting the ability of Singapore businesses to effectively attract and retain customers, potentially limiting their growth potential. Inability to compete against their peers could create additional pressures on Singapore businesses, especially with the country recently ranked the world’s most competitive economy worldwide.While technology has traditionally been viewed among Singapore businesses as a tool to augment competitiveness and allow them to punch above their weight, barriers remain when it comes to quality data and a modern tech stack.HubSpot’s findings indicate that less than half (43%) of Singapore businesses agree that their data and systems are effectively interconnected to provide a cohesive and comprehensive view of their customers. This can significantly increase complexity in managing customer interactions and experience, with the average business in Singapore needing to switch between more than 50 distinct applications just to manage customer interactions. As a result, many businesses may struggle to gain a consolidated view of their customers, leading to disconnected data and a suboptimal customer experience.“Needing to switch between more than 50 applications to manage customer interactions is not only detrimental to efficiency, but could also lead to inaccuracies as businesses try to align insights across disparate data sources. Having a single source of truth for customer data is essential to build and maintain meaningful customer relationships,” said Dan Bognar, Vice President & Managing Director of JAPAC, HubSpot. “Technology can give businesses a helping hand, however our findings show that data connectedness and a unified tech stack are presenting significant opportunities for local businesses looking to improve prospecting and customer retention.”An overall lack of quality data could also have had an impact on local adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered tools. According to HubSpot’s survey, nearly eight in ten (77%) of Singapore businesses felt they did not have enough data or the right data to make their AI usage effective. Perhaps as a consequence, about a third (34%) have not ‘started talking about generative AI at all’.“Operating in the world’s most competitive economy is no easy feat, requiring a delicate balance between manginging increasing costs, while delivering an impactful customer experience. At HubSpot, we are committed towards equipping businesses with applications that are easy to use, fast to implement, and delivered on a unified platform.

Trump Akui Kemungkinan Kalah Pilihan Raya, Katakan Dia Tidak Akan Bertanding Lagi berita

Trump Akui Kemungkinan Kalah Pilihan Raya, Katakan Dia Tidak Akan Bertanding Lagi

(SeaPRwire) - Bekas Presiden berkata pada hari Ahad bahawa dia tidak “berfikir” dia akan bertanding lagi untuk jawatan presiden pada tahun 2028 jika dia gagal dalam usahanya untuk kembali ke Rumah Putih pada tahun 2024. “Tidak, saya tidak. Saya rasa itu akan menjadi, itu akan menjadi akhirnya,” kata Trump kepada wartawan Sharyl Attkisson ketika ditanya sama ada dia akan bertanding lagi. Komen itu patut diberi perhatian bukan sahaja kerana Trump seolah-olah menolak kemungkinan untuk bertanding buat kali keempat untuk jawatan presiden tetapi juga kerana dia jarang mengakui kemungkinan dia boleh kalah dalam pilihan raya secara sah. Trump biasanya menegaskan bahawa kekalahan hanya boleh berlaku jika berlaku penipuan yang meluas, tuduhan palsu yang dia buat pada tahun 2020 dan yang dia telah buat terlebih dahulu semasa kempen presiden 2024. Trump akan berusia 82 tahun pada tahun 2028, setahun lebih tua daripada umur Presiden Joe Biden sekarang. Biden menarik diri dari perlumbaan pada bulan Julai berikutan persembahan debat yang teruk dan berbulan-bulan menerima kecaman daripada Trump dan konservatif lain kerana terlalu tua dan tidak menentu untuk memegang jawatan tersebut. Attkisson mewawancara Trump untuk rancangannya “Full Measure.” Dalam wawancara selama 22 minit itu, Trump juga mempertahankan rekodnya mengenai pandemik koronavirus. Dia mengambil kredit untuk pembangunan vaksin COVID-19 yang dibangunkan semasa kepresidenannya tetapi juga berkata "mereka sedang menjalankan kajian tentang vaksin dan kita akan ketahui" jika vaksin tersebut selamat. Trump berkata Republikan telah menjadi skeptikal tentang vaksin walaupun Demokrat mempercayainya. Pernyataan mengenai tahun 2028 itu dibuat di penghujung wawancara, yang juga termasuk soalan tentang bagaimana Trump menjaga kesihatan. "Saya cuba makan dengan betul," kata bekas presiden, menimbulkan reaksi yang tidak percaya daripada Attkisson, yang menyatakan bahawa Trump telah menjadi terkenal kerana kegemarannya terhadap burger. “Burger yang betul,” kata Trump.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Gabenor California Tandatangani Undang-Undang Larangan Semua Beg Plastik Di Kedai Runcit berita

Gabenor California Tandatangani Undang-Undang Larangan Semua Beg Plastik Di Kedai Runcit

(SeaPRwire) - (SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — “Kertas atau plastik” tidak lagi menjadi pilihan di kaunter pembayaran kedai runcit di California di bawah undang-undang baharu yang ditandatangani pada hari Ahad oleh Gabenor Gavin Newsom yang mengharamkan semua beg membeli-belah plastik. California telah mengharamkan beg membeli-belah plastik nipis di pasar raya dan kedai lain, tetapi pembeli boleh membeli beg yang dibuat dengan plastik yang lebih tebal yang kononnya menjadikan beg tersebut boleh digunakan semula dan boleh dikitar semula. Langkah baharu itu, yang diluluskan oleh ahli-ahli perundangan negeri pada bulan lepas, mengharamkan semua beg membeli-belah plastik bermula pada tahun 2026. Pengguna yang tidak membawa beg mereka sendiri akan diminta sama ada mereka mahu beg kertas. Senator Negeri Catherine Blakespear, salah seorang penyokong rang undang-undang itu, berkata orang ramai tidak menggunakan semula atau mengitar semula mana-mana beg plastik. Beliau menunjuk kepada kajian negeri yang mendapati bahawa jumlah beg membeli-belah plastik yang dibuang setiap orang meningkat daripada 8 paun (3.6 kilogram) setahun pada tahun 2004 kepada 11 paun (5 kilogram) setahun pada tahun 2021. Blakespear, seorang Demokrat dari Encinitas, berkata larangan beg terdahulu yang diluluskan sedekad yang lalu tidak mengurangkan penggunaan plastik secara keseluruhan. “Kita benar-benar mencekik planet kita dengan sisa plastik,” katanya pada bulan Februari. Organisasi bukan untung alam sekitar Oceana memuji Newsom kerana menandatangani rang undang-undang itu dan “melindungi garis pantai California, kehidupan marin, dan komuniti daripada beg plastik guna tunggal.” Christy Leavitt, pengarah kempen plastik Oceana, berkata pada hari Ahad bahawa larangan baharu ke atas beg plastik guna tunggal di kaunter pembayaran kedai runcit “menguatkan kedudukan California sebagai peneraju dalam menangani krisis pencemaran plastik global.” Dua belas negeri, termasuk California, telah mempunyai beberapa jenis larangan beg plastik peringkat negeri, menurut kumpulan advokasi alam sekitar Environment America Research & Policy Center. Ratusan bandar raya di seluruh 28 negeri juga mempunyai larangan beg plastik mereka sendiri. Legislature California meluluskan larangan peringkat negeri ke atas beg plastik pada tahun 2014. Undang-undang itu kemudian disahkan oleh pengundi dalam referendum 2016. California Public Interest Research Group berkata pada hari Ahad bahawa undang-undang baharu itu akhirnya memenuhi niat larangan beg asal. “Beg plastik mewujudkan pencemaran dalam persekitaran kita dan pecah menjadi mikroplastik yang mencemari air minuman kita dan mengancam kesihatan kita,” kata pengarah kumpulan itu Jenn Engstrom. “Penduduk California mengundi untuk mengharamkan beg membeli-belah plastik di negeri kita hampir sedekad yang lalu, tetapi undang-undang itu jelas memerlukan pembaikan semula. Dengan tandatangan Gabenor, California akhirnya mengharamkan beg plastik di lorong pembayaran kedai runcit sekali dan untuk semua.” Sebagai Datuk Bandar San Francisco pada tahun 2007, Newsom menandatangani larangan beg plastik pertama di negara ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
