50岁及以上人群现应接种肺炎球菌疫苗

(SeaPRwire) - 纽约——美国卫生官员周三建议 50 岁及以上的人群接种肺炎球菌疫苗,以预防可能导致肺炎和其他危险疾病的细菌。 该建议由一个科学咨询小组提出,随后被疾病控制与预防中心接受。该决定将老年人接种疫苗的最低建议年龄从 65 岁降至 50 岁。 “现在是接种肺炎球菌疫苗的最佳时机,为冬季呼吸道疾病季节做好准备,”疾病控制与预防中心主任曼迪·科恩博士周三晚间在一份声明中说。 咨询委员会在当天早些时候于亚特兰大举行的会议上以 14 比 1 的投票结果通过了这一变化。该指南得到医生们的广泛认可,并促使健康保险公司为推荐的疫苗付费。 肺炎球菌疫苗的建议有时被称为政府发布的最复杂的疫苗接种指南。疾病控制与预防中心目前建议 5 岁以下儿童和 65 岁及以上成年人接种肺炎球菌疫苗,只要他们之前从未接种过肺炎球菌疫苗。官员还建议患有糖尿病、慢性肝病或免疫系统较弱等风险因素的儿童和成人接种疫苗。 已知有 100 多种肺炎球菌,它们会导致肺部和其他身体部位的严重感染。美国每年大约有 30,000 例侵入性肺炎球菌病病例,包括血流感染、脑膜炎和其他疾病。约 30% 的病例发生在 50 至 64 岁人群中。 第一种肺炎球菌疫苗于 1977 年在美国获得许可,从那时起,制药公司一直在研发针对十多种类型的单剂量疫苗。不同的疫苗已经出现并消失,包括辉瑞的 Prevnar 13,它曾经是畅销产品,但现在已经停产。 目前有四种疫苗正在使用。美国食品药品监督管理局今年批准了最新的一种——默克的 Capvaxive,其价格约为每剂 300 美元,可预防 21 种类型,包括其他肺炎球菌疫苗中不包含的 8 种类型。默克公司的一位发言人表示,该疫苗是专门为帮助预防 50 岁及以上成年人中导致大多数严重疾病的细菌类型而设计的。 疾病控制与预防中心咨询小组在 6 月份建议将该疫苗作为高危成年人的一种选择。当时,委员会还讨论了降低老年人建议年龄的可能性。他们注意到,导致疾病的感染在黑人美国人中达到峰值年龄为 55 至 59 岁,低于白人的峰值年龄。但委员会将该决定推迟到本周的会议。 一些担忧:可能需要接种加强剂,也许大约 15 年后。并且有一些正在开发的新疫苗可能会迫使人们对建议进行再次更新。 “肺炎球菌疫苗的建议多年来一直非常混乱,而且每两三年就更新一次很难让人接受,”该委员会肺炎球菌工作组主席杰米·勒尔博士说。他是唯一一位投票反对该提案的人。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

唐纳德·特朗普获胜对堕胎意味着什么 Latest News

唐纳德·特朗普获胜对堕胎意味着什么

(SeaPRwire) - 自美国最高法院两年前推翻罗诉韦德案以来,已有 21 个州收紧了堕胎限制或在几乎所有情况下禁止堕胎。现在,在最高法院推翻宪法堕胎权后的第一次总统选举中,选民将决定他们是否希望重新选举在该决定中发挥作用的人。 共和党候选人 为自己在裁决中的作用感到自豪,因为他提名了 3 位最高法院大法官,他们在 2022 年投票推翻罗诉韦德案。他称随后出现的州一级限制“”。但在民调显示美国人支持合法堕胎的情况下,他竞选连任,试图缓和自己的立场。 他声称他不会在总统任期内推动全国范围内禁止堕胎。 “特朗普总统一直坚定地支持各州在堕胎问题上做出决定的权利,并且已经非常明确地表示,他不会在重返白宫后签署联邦禁令。”特朗普竞选活动全国新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特在一份给 TIME 的声明中说。 尽管如此,特朗普多次拒绝说如果在总统任期内有一项全国禁令送到他面前他会否否决,除非共和党在国会两院获得多数席位,否则这种情况极不可能发生。特朗普竞选团队在其声明中没有回答这个问题。 ,特朗普的民主党对手,表示如果特朗普连任,他将进一步限制堕胎权。生殖权利倡导者、医疗服务提供者和政治家一直都在警告,堕胎限制会阻止人们接受医疗服务,即使是在 的情况下也是如此。 特朗普多年来在堕胎问题上的立场一直摇摆不定。虽然他在 1999 年接受 采访时表示自己是“非常支持选择权的”,但到 2011 年,他将自己定位为“反堕胎”。2017 年担任总统期间,他 了一项法案,该法案将禁止在妊娠 20 周后进行堕胎。2024 年 3 月,特朗普 表示他将支持一项为期 15 周的全国禁令,并对强奸、乱伦或孕妇生命受到威胁的情况提供例外。 “他在堕胎问题上改变了几次主意,”共和党顾问巴雷特·马森说。“我不认为美国人知道唐纳德·特朗普在堕胎问题上是否有明确且稳定的立场,因此预测他会对任何潜在的堕胎法案做些什么,即使它不太可能送到他面前,我认为我们也无法预测。” 许多生殖权利倡导者、医疗服务提供者和政治家认为,尽管特朗普最近发表声明,但特朗普仍会试图在联邦层面禁止堕胎。他们引用特朗普之前对国家限制的支持以及他与 的联系,这是一项由右翼智库传统基金会牵头的总统过渡和政策提案,该提案建议 。虽然特朗普与该手册保持距离,但“2025 项目” 与特朗普及其竞选团队有关。 “我不会根据他今天碰巧说了什么来评估特朗普总统任期可能是什么样子,”美国公民自由联盟首席政治和宣传官员德irdre Schifeling 说。“如果你看看他过去的行为,他是我们今天无法像过去 50 年那样享有同样级别的堕胎保护和获取权的原因。” 一些特朗普盟友和反堕胎活动人士表示,特朗普将坚持他目前的立场,即把堕胎政策留给各州。反堕胎组织“支持生命行动的学生”主席克里斯坦·霍金斯表示,她“相信特朗普总统的话”,他“希望结束联邦政府对堕胎的干预”,并补充说,她的组织“可以在这个方面与他合作”。 这位前总统表示,他将成为 的拥护者。他的 表示,他和共和党“自豪地支持家庭和生命”,并且各州“可以自由地颁布保护”他们权利的法律。它表示,他和共和党“将反对晚期堕胎,同时支持母亲以及促进产前护理、避孕措施和 IVF(体外受精)的政策”。 特朗普的竞选搭档 此前 一项提案,该提案将增加对体外受精和其他生育治疗的获取。范斯还 完全禁止堕胎,不考虑强奸或乱伦的情况,但他后来与特朗普的立场保持一致,即这个问题应该留给各州。 特朗普因在这次选举周期中发表关于堕胎的煽动性言论和虚假言论而受到抨击。他指责民主党人支持堕胎(不是堕胎,而是杀婴,这在美国各地都是犯罪)。与此同时,哈里斯 将自己定位为生殖权利的捍卫者,承诺恢复罗诉韦德案所提供的保护,并获得了 (PPAF)等组织的认可。 即使特朗普没有签署全国禁令,他也可以在担任总统期间采取其他行动来影响堕胎。自多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案裁决推翻罗诉韦德案以来,州一级堕胎限制往往是 。在特朗普 2021 年结束总统任期之前,他任命了 所有现任联邦法官, 现在 超过 。“任命联邦法官是总统真正持久的遗产,至少可以持续几十年,”马森说。 很明显,选民对第 47 任总统的选择将对堕胎政策产生重大影响,而堕胎政策已经近 50 年来一直处于不稳定状态。PPAF 沟通和文化高级副总裁梅拉尼·纽曼说:“利害关系真的非常高。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

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. The test was conducted at a temperature of approximately 100 degree Celsius.Figure 2: Estimation of Heat Transfer of THERMAL-XR® coated aluminium versus bare aluminiumTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/227525_gmg_figure2.jpgThrough this work, as shown in Figure 3, the Company has demonstrated that THERMAL-XR® provides approximately 8.6 times more radiative heat transfer than bare aluminium, due to its thermal radiation (passing of heat in wave forms) capabilities. THERMAL-XR® has been calculated to provide 8.15 W/m2K (Watts per metre squared Kelvin degrees), or approximately 1.44 Btu/hr ft2 F (British thermal units per hour foot squared Fahrenheit degrees), of heat transfer when applied properly on top of bare aluminium, as compared to 0.95 W/m2K or 0.17 Btu/hr ft2 for bare aluminium.Figure 3: Thermal Radiation calculations of THERMAL-XR® coated aluminium versus bare aluminiumTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/227525_ecd3ffa9c41478c4_004full.jpgFigure 4 shows THERMAL-XR® increases the overall heat transfer coefficient by 2.2 times more than bare aluminium, from 6.0 W/m2K up to 13.2 W/m2K because of the increase in the thermal radiation from the THERMAL-XR® coating.

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.

Apart from allowing us, actuaries and insurers, to gain valuable insights on the evolving landscape of the professions, the Conference is also a vital platform for us to connect with practitioners in other professions that have wide-reaching implications for the future of ours. With the market changing so rapidly, it is essential for actuaries to stay abreast of latest industry developments and to unlock the vast potential of actuarial science to the benefit of diverse fields. Together, we are paving the way for growth of the actuary profession in Hong Kong.”Alongside technologies advancing at ever faster speed and with business opportunities of all kinds emerging in the Greater Bay Area, financial markets in the region have also become more complex and sophisticated. More companies are recognising the importance of financial planning and the need to effectively manage risks.

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

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.

This is currently in addition to the 148 buses already under management at the Caledonia depot.The seven depots with the new services play a crucial role in ensuring operations run efficiently, helping streamline operations and overall performance.Through tariff optimisation, First Bus’ energy consumption is being reduced during peak demand periods, making significant savings on energy costs. Plus, data reports, insights and recommendations from telematics are helping First Bus monitor and extend the battery health of its fleet.A centralised view of real-time information for all depot operations has also been implemented and the operational support provided by Hitachi ZeroCarbon’s managed service team, for the charging ecosystem combined, will ensure smoother operations.Andrew Gwilliam, Product and Propositions Manager, Decarbonisation at First Bus, said: “We’re committed to reducing our impact on the communities we serve, and creating cleaner air for future generations. Our continued partnership with Hitachi ZeroCarbon helps us maximise the potential from our investment in technology, and we’re pleased that Hitachi’s goals mirror our own when it comes to being a fully net zero business. Our goal is to put the bus at the heart of an integrated, sustainable and reliable transport network, allowing us to more effectively tackle congestion, liberate roads and public spaces, and deal with the climate emergency by ending dependency on fossil fuels. We’re thrilled that Hitachi is on the journey with us.”Dan Pollard, Programme Manager at Hitachi ZeroCarbon said: “As a climate change innovator, we strive to deploy our technologies through collaboration and co-creation with our partners, enabling the decarbonisation of fleets while providing new revenue streams.
