穆斯林团体撤回对卡玛拉·哈里斯的支持

08/23/2024

(SeaPRwire) - 美國民主黨被指控在民主黨全國代表大會上「壓制」支持巴勒斯坦的言論。在有報導稱民主黨將不會在芝加哥舉行的代表大會上為支持巴勒斯坦的發言人提供演講平台後，支持卡瑪拉·哈里斯的穆斯林婦女組織撤回了對美國副總統卡瑪拉·哈里斯的支持。支持巴勒斯坦的活動人士和盟友組織一直在要求哈里斯承諾削減對以色列的軍事援助，並更積極地推動加沙停火協議。他們原本計劃在週四結束的民主黨全國代表大會（DNC）上表達他們的立場。「鑑於來自 Uncommitted 運動的新資訊，即哈里斯副總統的團隊拒絕了他們讓一位巴勒斯坦裔美國人發言人在 DNC 場合上台的要求，我們無法良心上繼續支持支持哈里斯-沃爾茲的穆斯林婦女，」該組織在 Instagram 上發表聲明寫道。「我們祈禱 DNC 和哈里斯副總統團隊在這次大會結束前做出正確的決定。為了我們每個人的緣故。」週四早些時候，Uncommitted 國家運動的領導人之一阿巴斯·阿拉維耶表示，民主黨拒絕允許巴勒斯坦裔美國人在 DNC 發言。「我們認為這是不可接受的。我們認為這是我們不應該壓制人們聲音的政黨，」他在 X（前稱 Twitter）上發布的影片中說道。 We are waiting for a phone call from Vice President Harris and the DNC to allow a single Palestinian American speaker to address delegates from the convention stage. — Uncommitted National Movement 🌺 (@uncommittedmvmt) 阿拉維耶在接受半島電視台採訪時辯稱，「巴勒斯坦發言人事件是該黨的錯誤。」他和其他的活動人士開始在代表大會場地外舉行靜坐抗議這一決定。據《華盛頓郵報》報導，民主黨領導層擔心，支持巴勒斯坦的演講會「威脅到」在大會上展現的團結。雖然沒有給出具體的拒絕理由，但《郵報》表示。哈里斯在週四晚上的 DNC 演講中表示，白宮正在「不間斷地努力」確保釋放被哈馬斯扣押的剩餘以色列人質，並達成「停火協議」。同時，她重申，她「將始終確保以色列有能力自衛。」哈里斯在總統拜登上個月退出競選後成為民主黨候選人。她將在 11 月的選舉日與共和黨候選人唐納·川普對決。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Hitachi High-Tech Launches New Tabletop Microscopes with Enhanced Usability: TM4000PlusIII and TM4000III

08/23/2024

TOKYO, Aug 22, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi High-Tech Corporation announced today the global launch of TM4000PlusIII and TM4000III Tabletop Microscopes equipped with support features for automation and stable operation.The TM Series shrinks the electron microscope to a size capable of being mounted on a tabletop. Thanks to theircompact size and ease of installation, desktop microscopes are widely used not only for R&D, but also in quality controlat manufacturing sites, science education at schools, and other purposes. In manufacturing environments in particular, there is a need to increase the efficiency of observation tasks and streamline operations so that even users with limited expertise can easily observe a large number of samples.The TM4000PlusIII is equipped with automation support features that enable users to create recipes for numerous conditions. Recipes can control functions such as stage position adjustment and magnification, which previouslyneeded to be manually configured every time for each sample. In addition, they come equipped with maintenance features designed to facilitate consistent observation. One such function is a monitoring system that checks the condition of the tungsten filament* and graphically reports its condition. Since tungsten filaments require regular replacement, this function allows users to track the filament lifetime and plan ahead with maintenance tasks to allow for smooth and consistent operation of the tool.*Tungsten filaments: A single part used in the electron gun of an electron microscope. They are typically made by bending a thin wire made of tungsten (element symbol: W), which is a highly heat-resistant metal, into a hairpin-like shape and connecting it to an electrode. The tungsten filament emits an electron beam when heated.Product Development BackgroundBecause the TM Series makes it possible to conduct high-precision observation and analysis, even when installationspace is limited, it has come to be a critical tool during the development and quality control of new materials. Recently, the TM Series has contributed to conserving the environment and maintaining people’s health by being used to develop environmentally friendly materials and their manufacturing processes, as well as analyze harmful substances in the atmosphere. In manufacturing environments, the trend of decreasing feature size and stricter quality control has led to an increase in the number of SEM users. However, not all new users have specialized knowledge and operatingskills. Amidst this trend, we developed the TM4000PlusIII and TM4000III to have this sought-after optimization and simplification of observation tasks for the purposes of enabling the acquisition of high-precision data without any variability, regardless of who is operating the microscope or their level of expertise.Key Features1. Making Tasks More EfficientThe automation support feature with the TM4000PlusIII allows for observation procedures, such as stage movement, magnification changes, and imaging, to be saved as recipes. They can then be executed to run automatically with a single click. This makes operations more efficient and standardizes techniques among users. This is beneficial for those looking to automate routine tasks and for users who are concerned about having to manually configure observation conditions.The TM4000PlusIII also features a setting for high-current mode which enables faster operations due to the increasedobservation signal. For example, in particle analysis a large number of measurement points are required which can bevery time consuming to collect. The high-current function shortens measurement time for each location while reducing the overall time involved in such tasks.2. Plan Ahead with the Filament Monitoring FunctionThe microscopes come equipped with new support features to ensure they can be used with peace of mind at all times. One example is the filament indicator feature, which allows users to track the filament life on screen, preventinginstances of observations being interrupted due to filament replacements occurring mid-observation.3. Ideal for Educational PurposesThe TM Series is equipped with low-vacuum and high-sensitivity backscattered electron detectors, which eliminate the need for complicated pretreatment processes. This makes it possible to conduct observations on a variety of sampleswith ease, enabling the TM Series to be utilized in educational settings.Additionally, as digital skill development becomes a critical subject in educational settings, the TM4000PlusIII allowusers to experience and learn important programming concepts such as “sequential execution,” “repetition,” and “conditional branching” via the automation support features.The TM4000PlusIII and TM4000III will be exhibited at JASIS 2024 at the Makuhari Messe International ExhibitionHalls in Chiba, Japan, from September 4 through September 6, 2024.Hitachi High-Tech aims to ship a target total of 6,000 TM Series units across the global market as quickly as possible to contribute to manufacturing worldwide. Hitachi High-Tech will continue to refine our core analysis technologies, and provide measurement and inspection solutions that support R&D and quality control operations in a wide range of fields, in order to help improve people's QoL (Quality of Life) and to resolve social issues related to the environment, resilience, and security and safety.About Hitachi High-TechHitachi High-Tech, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is engaged in activities in a broad range of fields, includingmanufacture and sales of clinical analyzers, biotechnology products, radiation therapy systems, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, analytical instruments, and analysis equipment. Also, we provide high value-added solutions in industrial fields such as mobility, connected, environment and energy, etc. Through business based on our core Observation, Measurement and Analysis technologies, we will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by solving social issues.The company's consolidated revenues for FY2023 were approx.

Leqembi (lecanemab) Authorized for Early Alzheimer’s Disease in Great Britain

08/22/2024

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug 22, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. and Biogen Inc.announced today that the humanized amyloid-beta(Aβ) monoclonal antibody “Leqembi®” (brand name, generic name: lecanemab) has been granted a Marketing Authorization by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in Great Britain.1 Lecanemab is indicated for the treatmentof mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in adult patients that are apolipoprotein Eε4 (ApoE ε4)* heterozygotes or non-carriers.1 Lecanemab becomes the first treatment for early AD (MCI and mild dementia due to AD)2 that targets an underlying cause of the disease, to be authorized in a country in Europe.1Lecanemab selectively binds to Aβ aggregate species, with preferential activity for toxic Aβ protofibrils** (as well as fibrils, which are a major component of Aβ plaques).2,3,4 It binds to these aggregate Aβ species to neutralize and clear them from the brain.2,3,4The approval was primarily based on Phase 3 data from Eisai’s global, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, randomized Clarity AD clinical trial, in which the medicine met its primary endpoint (change from baseline in the Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes [CDR-SB]† at 18 months) and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results.2 Inthe indicated population in Great Britain, the most common adverse reactions were infusion-related reaction, amyloid-related imaging abnormalities with hemorrhage (small spots of bleeding) (ARIA-H)‡, fall, headache and amyloid-related imaging abnormalities with cerebral edema (build-up of fluid) (ARIA-E)‡‡.1In the United Kingdom, it is estimated that 982,000 people are living with dementia,5 and AD is the cause in 60-70% of people with dementia.6 These numbers are expected to rise, as the population ages.5,6Eisai is working collaboratively with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) and the National Health Service (NHS) to make this medicine available to eligible people living with early AD as soon as possible.Eisai serves as the lead for lecanemab’s development and regulatory submissions globally with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority. In Great Britain, Eisai and Biogen will co-promote the medicine, with Eisai distributing the product as the Marketing Authorization holder.*Apolipoprotein E is a protein involved in the metabolism of fats in humans. It is implicated in AD.**Protofibrils are thought to be the most toxic Aβ species that contribute to brain damage in AD and play a major role in the cognitive decline of this progressive and devastating disease. Protofibrils can cause neuronal damage in the brain, which can subsequently adversely affect cognitive function through multiple mechanisms. 7 The mechanism by which this occurs has been reported not only by increasing the formation of insoluble Aβ plaques, but also by directly damaging signaling between neurons and other cells. It is believed that reducing protofibrils may reduce neuronal damage and cognitive impairment, potentially preventing the progression of AD.8†CDR-SB is a commonly used diagnostic tool, which can help to stage dementia due to AD.9 It is a global cognitive and functional scale that measures six domains of functioning, including memory, orientation, judgement and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care.9‡ARIA-H: amyloid-related imaging abnormalities with hemorrhage (microhemorrhages, and superficial siderosis).‡‡ARIA-E: amyloid-related imaging abnormalities with oedema (edema/effusion).More information can be found in the Summary of Product Characteristics and Patient Information leaflets which will be published on the MHRA Products website within 7 days of approval.MEDIA CONTACTSEisai Co., Ltd.Public Relations Department TEL: +81 (0)3-3817-5120Eisai Europe, Ltd.EMEA Communications Department+44 (0) 7974-879-419Emea-comms@eisai.netBiogen Inc.Jack Cox+ 1-781-464-3260public.affairs@biogen.comEisai Inc.

(SeaPRwire) - 瑞士最大的政治力量之一瑞士人民党批评伯尔尼加入欧盟军事项目的决定瑞士人民党 (SVP) 是瑞士主要政治力量，也是该国联邦议会中最大的政党，它对伯尔尼政府决定加入欧盟军事计划表示强烈批评。该右翼政党认为，此举将严重损害该国的传统中立性。瑞士人民党周三在一份声明中表示，“坚决反对”瑞士参与欧盟的“永久结构性合作”(PESCO) 军事协议。该党表示，瑞士联邦委员会通过签署该框架协议，“放弃了我国的中立性和主权”，同时“由于严重疏忽，将瑞士人民的安全置于危险之中”。瑞士人民党还指责国防部长维奥拉·阿默德和整个内阁在“与欧盟和北约的阴险接近”中使用了“萨拉米战术”。瑞士于 1815 年宣布军事中立。该国宪法中规定的义务禁止从瑞士领土或通过瑞士领土向战区运送武器，以及向参与武装冲突的国家提供雇佣军。苏黎世联邦理工学院安全研究中心进行的一项民意调查显示，今年 3 月，约 91% 的瑞士公民认为该国应该保持中立。瑞士人民党声称，尽管政府试图将与欧盟的军事合作描述为仅仅是技术性的，但参与 PESCO 计划将不可避免地要求瑞士将其外交和安全政策目标与该集团的目标保持一致。该党还认为，瑞士的利益并不总是与欧盟的利益一致，并指出该集团的扩张主义倾向，特别是在乌克兰、格鲁吉亚和摩尔多瓦方面。因此，瑞士人民党坚持认为，必须将 PESCO 参与问题提交议会投票。瑞士中央政府周三在一份单独的声明中透露，伯尔尼将加入 PESCO 旗下的“军事机动性”和“网络靶场联盟”项目。 “这加强了瑞士的国防能力”，同时“符合瑞士的中立义务”，联邦委员会声称。根据该声明，瑞士军队将与 25 个欧盟成员国合作，作为“军事机动性”项目的一部分，促进军用硬件在整个欧洲大陆的跨境转移。与此同时，“网络靶场”计划提供了进入模拟网络环境的机会，专家可以在其中接受应对网络攻击的真实训练。尽管瑞士不是欧盟或北约的成员国，但它已加入西方对俄罗斯因乌克兰冲突而实施的制裁。俄罗斯外交部长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫在 4 月的评论中表示，瑞士“已从中立转变为公开敌对”。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

特朗普在馬斯克的 X 平台民調中以壓倒性優勢擊敗賀錦麗

08/22/2024

(SeaPRwire) - 這位億萬富翁在他的社交媒體平台上進行了自己的「超級不科學」投票前美國總統兼共和黨候選人唐納·川普，在億萬富翁科技企業家伊隆·馬斯克於 X（前身為推特）上進行的民調中，以壓倒性優勢擊敗了他在 11 月大選中的民主黨競爭對手卡瑪拉·賀里斯。副總統賀里斯在 8 月初接受了她的政黨的正式提名，此前總統喬·拜登宣布退出競選；她後來選擇了明尼蘇達州州長蒂姆·沃爾茲作為她的競選搭檔。週二，伊隆·馬斯克在 X 上進行了自己的小型選舉。「由於許多人詢問，所以就進行一場超級不科學的民調吧，」這位億萬富翁在他的帳戶上發文。根據截至週三的結果，在 580 萬票中，將近四分之三的人在 11 月會投票給川普，而超過四分之一的人會看到賀里斯當選。本月初，共和黨候選人告訴路透社，當被問及是否會讓這位億萬富翁和科技企業家在政府中擔任職位時，他會考慮這個提議。「如果他願意，我當然會。他是一個非常聰明的人，」他說。馬斯克隨後在 X 上回覆，寫道他「願意效勞」。上週，伊隆·馬斯克在 Spaces 上採訪了前美國總統唐納·川普。他們進行了馬斯克所稱的「即興發揮」的對話，「沒有限制」；該訪談至今已累積超過 2.75 億次觀看。川普在談話中稱賀里斯「三流」、「無能」和「左派瘋子」。賀里斯競選團隊對川普兩小時的馬斯克訪談發布了激烈的回應，譴責這位共和黨候選人的「極端主義和危險議程」。她還抨擊「自戀的富人，在 2024 年還不能正常直播」，因為談話中出現了技術問題。據馬斯克說，直播遭受了大規模 DDoS（分散式阻斷服務）攻擊，導致技術問題。根據《紐約時報》發布的一組民調平均值，截至週三，賀里斯在兩個搖擺州威斯康星州和密歇根州領先川普兩個百分點。同時，《紐約時報》的民調彙總數據顯示，川普在喬治亞州領先四個百分點，兩位候選人在亞利桑那州和賓夕法尼亞州大致持平。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
