NBC:川普希望澤倫斯基辭職

(SeaPRwire) - 據報導,美國總統堅持烏克蘭領導人應舉行選舉,並可能下台 據美國國家廣播公司 (NBC) 報導,美國總統唐納·川普 (Donald Trump) 私下向助手明確表示,弗拉基米爾·澤倫斯基 (Vladimir Zelensky) 應該辭去烏克蘭領導人的職務。該報導援引了一位政府消息人士。 該報導發布之際,美國高級官員和澤倫斯基的幕僚長將於週二在沙烏地阿拉伯吉達舉行談判。美國國務卿 Marco Rubio、國家安全顧問 Mike Waltz 和川普的中東特使 Steve Witkoff 將與由 Andrey Yermak 率領的烏克蘭代表團討論解決長達三年的衝突。 美國廣播公司 (NBC) 在週日的一篇文章中援引一位美國政府官員和另一位美國官員的話說,川普希望看到澤倫斯基對和平談判的態度發生改變,包括願意放棄對領土的主張。 據報導,川普表示,澤倫斯基應該準備好舉行總統選舉,並且“可能下台,不再擔任該國領導人。” 澤倫斯基的總統任期已於 2024 年 5 月正式到期,他以俄羅斯衝突期間實施的戒嚴令為由,拒絕舉行新的選舉。 克里姆林宮發言人德米特里·佩斯科夫 (Dmitry Peskov) 在 2 月份表示,莫斯科不認為澤倫斯基是合法的國家元首,但仍然願意進行談判。 川普上個月已經呼籲在烏克蘭舉行總統選舉,稱澤倫斯基為“沒有選舉的獨裁者”,並且“支持率只有 4%”。 根據基輔國際社會學研究所 (Kiev International Institute of Sociology) 的最新民意調查,這位烏克蘭領導人的支持率為 68%,在 2 月下旬他與川普和美國副總統 J.D. Vance 在白宮公開爭吵後,數字急劇上升。 澤倫斯基要求美國提供安全保障,排除了與莫斯科的會談,並聲稱 Vance 可能不了解烏克蘭的問題,因為他從未訪問過該國。 爭論之後,川普指責他的客人不希望與莫斯科和平相處,並且對華盛頓在衝突期間向他的國家提供的數十億美元援助忘恩負義。 在這次崩潰之後,美國總統停止了對烏克蘭的軍事援助,然後停止與基輔分享情報。 川普上週表示,在談判解決衝突時,他“發現與烏克蘭打交道比與俄羅斯打交道更困難”。他強調,考慮到莫斯科擁有“所有牌”,而基輔卻一無所有,這“令人驚訝”。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。

Salary Reality Gap: 52% of Malaysian Employees See Scope for Salary Growth, foundit Survey Reveals ACN Newswire

Salary Reality Gap: 52% of Malaysian Employees See Scope for Salary Growth, foundit Survey Reveals

Key findings from the survey: A majority of professionals (45%) expect a 0-10% growth in their next appraisal 52% of respondents believe their salary is below average compared to industry peers Only 32% of respondents are satisfied with their salary growth opportunities 36% of employees reported no major change in their salary over the past three years Skills in demand (31%) and economic trends (30%) are the primary drivers of current salary trends KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Malaysian employees and employers appear to be on different pages when it comes to compensation, according to new research. A comprehensive salary survey by foundit, a leading jobs platform, reveals that while many professionals see room for salary growth, organisations are focusing on strategic compensation planning to retain talent in a competitive job market. The research highlights evolving compensation trends in Malaysia, with a growing awareness among professionals about market benchmarks. More than half of the surveyed employees recognise the need for salary adjustments to align with industry standards, while nearly half anticipate modest single-digit salary growth in their upcoming reviews. These insights present valuable opportunities for organisations to enhance their talent strategies, ensuring competitive compensation structures that attract and retain top talent. With compensation playing a central role in both recruitment success and employee loyalty, these insights into workforce sentiment provide valuable intelligence for business planning. V Suresh, CEO of foundit, commented on the findings: "This research offers fascinating insights into Malaysia's compensation landscape, revealing both challenges and opportunities. The perception gap we've identified – where many employees believe their pay falls below industry standards – represents a critical area for employers to address. Malaysian businesses have a compelling opportunity to strengthen their position in the talent market through enhanced salary transparency and more effective communication about compensation. By helping professionals understand how their pay compares to true market rates and developing transparent frameworks for advancement, organisations can better align expectations with reality. This strategic approach benefits not just individual employees but strengthens organisational resilience and competitiveness. For Malaysia to continue its trajectory as a business hub in Southeast Asia, addressing these compensation perception gaps will be instrumental in attracting and retaining the best talent." Key findings from the survey include: Salary Perception Across Experience Levels More than half (52%) of employees believe they are underpaid compared to industry peers. 38% feel their salary is above average, while 10% are unsure how their pay compares to market rates. Executive-level professionals (15+ years of experience) have the highest salary awareness, with only 4.48% unaware of market benchmarks, compared to mid-career professionals who display greater uncertainty. Satisfaction with Salary Growth 30% of respondents are dissatisfied with their salary growth opportunities with majority in Engineering and Logistics sector. 38% remain neutral, indicating mixed perceptions about compensation structures. 32% express satisfaction, but satisfaction levels decline as professionals advance in their careers. IT (35.38%) leads in salary growth satisfaction. Expected Salary Growth from Appraisal 45% of professionals expect only a 0-10% salary hike in their next review. 28.7% anticipate a 6-10% increment, while 16.7% foresee just 0-5% growth. 19.5% of professionals aim for substantial increases exceeding 30%. Professionals with 4-6 years of experience are the most optimistic, with nearly 39% expecting 6-10% raises, while senior executives anticipate more conservative increases (0-5%). Salary Changes Over the Past Three Years 36% of professionals saw no salary growth, indicating wage stagnation. 30% experienced salary reductions (19% minor, 11% significant). 34% received salary hikes (18% modest, 16% substantial), highlighting industry-specific trends. Future Salary Expectations: Industry Outlook Employees in the Engineering & Construction sector expect predictable salary growth (36.36% anticipate 6-10% raises). BFSI professionals have the highest expectations, with more than 50% anticipating 30% above increments. Entry-level professionals remain the most optimistic, with 79% expecting salary growth, while expectations decline at senior levels (67% among executives). Key Drivers of Salary Trends Skills in Demand: 31.2% of professionals believe in-demand skills significantly impact salaries. Economic Trends: 30.5% see macroeconomic factors shaping pay scales. Sector-Specific Challenges: 18% cite industry constraints as key influencers. Technological Advancements: 12% recognise tech-driven disruptions affecting wages. For organisations navigating the complexities of talent acquisition and retention in today's competitive landscape, this research provides a valuable measuring stick for assessing current approaches and identifying areas for strategic improvement. By leveraging these insights to enhance both compensation structures and communication around pay, companies can create more appealing work environments that attract and retain top talent.

Hong Kong products highly rated by ASEAN e-shoppers ACN Newswire

Hong Kong products highly rated by ASEAN e-shoppers

HONG KONG, Mar 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong businesses are well placed to make good on the government’s budget commitment to step up e-commerce trade with the ASEAN bloc, according to new research from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). In particular, the findings show that the extension of the E-Commerce Easy initiative may be of huge benefit to Hong Kong’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).Titled ASEAN eCommerce opportunities: Insights on Consumer Behaviours and Positioning of Hong Kong Products, the research shows that Hong Kong brands and products are already particularly valued in six key ASEAN markets – Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – with every indication that this positive perception will lead to significant growth in future trade.Previewed today, the full report will be released on 19 March during a dedicated session at this year’s HKTDC MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse events at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.HK electronic, fashion, cosmetic products popular in ASEANAmong the key findings of the research is the high level of popularity Hong Kong brands and products enjoy among ASEAN-6 e-consumers. In fact, some 70% of online shoppers within the six-nation grouping indicated they had bought at least one Hong Kong-sourced product within the past 12 months.This preference was particularly pronounced among younger consumers, with the 18-29-year-old demographic indicating the highest regard for goods of Hong Kong origin.In terms of the factors behind the appeal of Hong Kong brands and products for ASEAN consumers, the research identified three primary reasons. Firstly – and most compellingly – some 35% of respondents perceived Hong Kong-sourced goods as less costly and better value for money than those from other sources.Secondly, a significant proportion of respondents (33%) stated that they particularly valued Hong Kong-sourced items for the way they seamlessly and successfully blended Asian and Western elements. A further 32% indicated that the stylish nature of the online inventory of Hong Kong-sourced items was the attribute they valued most highly.In terms of Hong Kong e-commerce categories with the highest level of appeal for ASEAN-6 purchasers, consumer electronic items topped the list, winning favour with 70% of respondents. Taking the number-two spot was Hong Kong-sourced fashion items (38%), while coming a close third was the city’s online range of cosmetic/personal care products (34%).Singaporean, Thai and Malaysian e-shoppers spend the mostThe survey also found e-shoppers from Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia spent the most per purchase on Hong Kong goods. Take Hong Kong-sourced consumer electronics as an example, Singapore e-shoppers on average spent US$371 per purchase, followed by those in Thailand (US$276).In terms of individual ASEAN markets, it was Thailand that showed the greatest partiality to Hong Kong e-commerce items, with 81% of the relevant survey respondents having purchased such an item within the past 12 months.In second place was Indonesia, with 73% of respondents having ordered a Hong Kong item online within the last year. Slightly below this, in third place, was the Philippines, with 69% of the country’s respondents having made a related purchase over the past 12 months.In terms of age demographics, respondents aged 30-49 had the highest average spending per purchase.Separately, an average of 76% of those 18-29 year-olds across all ASEAN-6 markets had purchased a Hong Kong-sourced item online within the past 12 months. Among the 30-49 segment, the corresponding figure fell marginally to 72%, before falling further – to 52% – for online shoppers aged 50 or above. Reassuringly, even in this older category, a slender majority still manifested a preference for buying from the city via an online channel.Commenting on the significance of the survey, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “It’s encouraging that the first study of its kind should show just how willing ASEAN consumers are to purchase Hong Kong brands and products via a variety of online channels. In line with our findings, Hong Kong SMEs should particularly bear in mind the high regard consumers in Thailand and Indonesia have for Hong Kong-sourced products.”Ms Fan added: “In terms of product categories, it’s clearly particularly good news for Hong Kong companies in the consumer electronics sector, an area that has long been one of the city’s key strengths.”Full report revealed at eTailingPulseThe HKTDC is organising the MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse conferences at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre next Wednesday, 19 March. The full ASEAN e-Commerce opportunities: Insights on Consumer Behaviours and Positioning of Hong Kong Products report will be unveiled at an eTailingPulse panel discussion, where business leaders will share insights from their successful experiences in the ASEAN e-commerce market.The panel is among nearly 30 sessions at the two Pulse events, which bring together more than 65 global elites from diverse industry sectors, including influential marketing experts, economists, retail giants, brand strategists, advertising and PR professionals and e-commerce leaders.Themed Inspiring Possibilities, the events aim to turn visionary ideas into actionable strategies and spark cross-disciplinary collaboration. This year’s event will spotlight six key marketing topics: leveraging data and artificial intelligence (AI) to drive innovative marketing strategies; integrating art, music and culture into brand marketing to explore new frontiers; embracing neurodiversity to foster more inclusive marketing perspectives; opportunities in the ASEAN and halal markets; addressing the challenges and possibilities of global industry transformation in light of the rising trend of single-person households; and empowering the “she economy” through innovative AI solutions to enhance the market competitiveness of e-commerce platforms.Attendees will have the opportunity to explore forward-thinking market dynamics, emerging trends, innovative marketing strategies and compelling success stories.HKTDC support SMEs tapping into e-commerceThe HKTDC has been supporting SMEs to tap into the tremendous business opportunities brought by the rapidly developing e-commerce market. The HKTDC Design Gallery online store will extend to Singapore and Malaysia in 2025/26, followed by Thailand in a subsequent phase. Hong Kong suppliers will be able to sell their products to the ASEAN region through this online channel in the form of cross-border e-commerce.

CEPI funds Nagasaki University to develop innovative vaccines using Nanoball platform and NEC’s AI JCN Newswire

CEPI funds Nagasaki University to develop innovative vaccines using Nanoball platform and NEC’s AI

TOKYO, Mar 10, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has announced that it will partner with the Nagasaki University DEJIMA Infectious Disease Research Alliance (Director: Prof. Kouichi Morita) for a research and development (R&D) project with support from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).The CEPI funding, of up to 750 million JPY, will facilitate the composition optimization of "Nanoball," a proprietary vaccine particle covered under Nagasaki University’s intellectual property, and the application of NEC OncoImmunity (NOI)’s artificial intelligence (AI) for the analysis of candidate proteins for a Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) vaccine.The emerging tick-borne virus, a member of the new windowPhenuivirus family, poses a serious public health threat in Japan and wider East Asia.If the project is successful, the platform has the potential to be rapidly adapted to develop vaccine candidates against other disease pathogens, including a novel or as-yet-identified "Disease X" that could cause a serious epidemic or pandemic.Nagasaki University’s innovative technology works by encasing mRNA into Nanoball particles. While mRNA vaccines have been identified as a fast and flexible platform to use in response to infectious disease outbreaks, the next-generation Nanoball technology could help overcome current challenges with the vaccine design to improve its stability and help with the delivery of mRNA to cells to elicit a stronger immune response.The Nanoball design could also enable the vaccine to not require ultra-low temperatures, expanding its access in low-resource areas and hard-to-reach settings, including in low- and middle-income countries who may otherwise lack the infrastructure needed to store and distribute mRNA vaccines in specific conditions.Findings could therefore support the 100 Days Mission, an ambitious goal spearheaded by CEPI and embraced by Japan and other G7 and G20 nations to develop a vaccine against a new virus with outbreak potential in as little as three months."We don’t know where or when the next Disease X will strike – but we know that it is coming," says Dr Richard Hatchett, CEO of CEPI, "As the COVID-19 pandemic shows, we need to be more prepared and act more quickly when responding to an emerging threat. We are delighted to be working with our partners in Japan to carry out this new research looking at whether Nagasaki University’s ‘Nanoball’ technology could provide an improved way of mRNA delivery vehicle, thereby offering faster and more effective vaccine protection in an outbreak."Prof. Takeshi Nagayasu, President of Nagasaki University says, "We are delighted that our SFTSV vaccine, developed using Nagasaki University’s proprietary Nanoball technology, can contribute to CEPI’s efforts and the global 100-Day Mission pursued by leading nations. Rapid vaccine development is crucial in preparing for future pandemics, and we are proud that our research can play a role in this initiative. We look forward to further collaboration in advancing innovative technologies to strengthen global health security and pandemic preparedness."Dr. Saverio Niccolini, Chief Executive Officer, NEC OncoImmunity commented, "NOI is honored to collaborate with CEPI and Nagasaki University in the fight against emerging infectious diseases. We are confident that our advanced AI technology will play a pivotal role in designing a vaccine for the severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), a deadly tick-borne pathogen with high mortality rates. This partnership underscores our commitment to harnessing our cutting-edge AI for innovative vaccine development."Key Points1. About SFTSSFTS is a viral infectious disease primarily transmitted to humans through tick bites, which is prevalent in East Asia, including Western Japan. It causes fever, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), leukopenia (low white blood cell count), and multi-organ failure. Severe cases can result in fatalities.2. Scope of Research & DevelopmentThis project will focus on preclinical research, prior to human clinical trials, to develop a vaccine that can prevent SFTS onset and severe cases.3. Potential ImpactIf successful, this R&D could pave the way for clinical trials and regulatory approval, ultimately leading to widespread vaccination of an SFTS. The project aims to contribute to SFTS countermeasures not only in Japan but across East Asia, helping to save lives that would otherwise be lost to SFTS.The research could also highlight the AI and Nanoball technology as a promising new tool which, with further research, could also help fight other infectious disease threats with epidemic or even pandemic potential. This includes a novel or as-yet-identified Disease X – an emerging threat which could strike in the future and cause a serious humanitarian crisis. COVID-19 was one of the most recent Disease X threats.Overview of the Research and Development InitiativeAbout CEPICEPI is an innovative partnership between public, private, philanthropic, and civil organizations. Its mission is to accelerate the development of vaccines and other biologic countermeasures against epidemic and pandemic threats so they can be accessible to all people in need. The Government of Japan has been a key supporter of CEPI since its inception and is one of CEPI’s largest government supporters in the world.Funding & AgreementNagasaki University has signed an agreement with CEPI for a three-year, $5 million (approximately 750 million JPY) research and development project. This marks the third CEPI-supported initiative in Japan.Project DetailsThe project aims to develop a vaccine to prevent SFTS onset and severe cases.Nagasaki University Professor Hitoshi Sasaki and team will optimize its current Nanoball composition using Japanese encephalitis virus, an area in which the university has extensive expertise, to develop the new vaccine.NEC OncoImmunity will apply AI-driven genetic sequence analysis to identify potential mRNA vaccine candidates for SFTS.Professor Jiro Yasuda and team will conduct preclinical studies to evaluate the efficacy of the developed SFTS vaccine.Expected OutcomesThis project is expected to lay the groundwork for clinical trials and potential commercialization, providing a lifesaving vaccine to populations at risk of SFTS.The research could also highlight the potential of the AI and Nanoball technology to improve the delivery of mRNA vaccines against other diseases with epidemic and pandemic potential, including known viruses and the hypothetical Disease X.About NEC CorporationNEC Corporation has established itself as a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies while promoting the brand statement of “Orchestrating a brighter world.” NEC enables businesses and communities to adapt to rapid changes taking place in both society and the market as it provides for the social values of safety, security, fairness and efficiency to promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.

愛爾蘭教師因跨性別學生代名詞問題受罰 – 媒體報導 News

愛爾蘭教師因跨性別學生代名詞問題受罰 – 媒體報導

(SeaPRwire) - 因拒絕以「他們」稱呼跨性別學生,Enoch Burke 被解僱並入獄超過 500 天 根據《The Irish Times》報導,一位愛爾蘭教師因拒絕在稱呼一位生理上為男性的跨性別學生時使用「他們」而非「他」,理由是他的基督教信仰,現在可能被剝奪薪水。他已經在監獄裡度過了 500 多天。 Enoch Burke,前 County Westmeath 的 Wilson’s Hospital School 的歷史和德語教師,自 2022 年以來一直處於漫長的法律和道德爭端中心。Burke 在反對校長要求以新名字和代詞 “they” 稱呼一位「變性」學生後被停職。 在週五的聽證會之後,愛爾蘭高等法院將被要求任命一位接管人,以從 Burke 的薪水中追回未支付的罰款。如果獲得批准,此舉將使當局能夠收取 79,100 歐元——這是他因無視法院命令,每天罰款 700 歐元,仍出現在 Wilson’s Hospital School 而累積的金額。 這位具有福音派基督教背景的教師,一再未能遵守法院禁止他進入學校的命令。 “我教導在我面前的每一個人。我教導每一個學生,” Burke 去年告訴 SkyNews。“但是,當我被命令,當我被告知我不能再擁有我的宗教信仰時,當我被告知我必須承認對變性主義的信仰,而不是我簡單的信仰,即男性和女性,這簡直是對我權利的侵犯。” 儘管在 2022 年 5 月被停職並全額支付薪水,等待對所謂不當行為的調查,Burke 繼續出現在學校,導致他於 2022 年 9 月因藐視法庭罪被監禁。迄今為止,他因無視法院命令,已在三個不同的時期內總共入獄 512 天。 儘管被學校解僱,Burke 在他的終止上訴仍在審理期間,繼續以行政休假的名義領取薪水。 最近,法官 David Nolan 將 Burke 的每日罰款增加了一倍,達到 1,400 歐元,原因是有人透露他通過學生入口進入學校,並試圖參加學校集會。 Nolan 說,根據他的粗略計算,由於法院在 2023 年 1 月對他處以每天 700 歐元的罰款,Burke 迄今已欠下約 190,000 歐元。 這位教師指責法院未能承認他受憲法保障的宗教自由權利,並表示當他被要求以 they/them 稱呼學生時,這些權利受到了侵犯。 根據其網站,“Wilson’s Hospital School 直到今天,仍然是一個對知識的真正熱愛使所有學習都成為發現和喜悅的地方。我們的學校保持著鮮明的愛爾蘭教會精神,培養基督教的實踐和教義,促進對個人的尊嚴和尊重,並致力於提供一個關懷的家庭氛圍,使教育得以蓬勃發展。”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。

費加洛報:范斯的表親是親基輔的僱傭兵

(SeaPRwire) - 據報導,Nate Vance 曾在一個由極右民族主義者創建的烏克蘭軍事單位中擔任戰士 《費加洛報》聲稱,美國副總統 J.D. Vance 的一位堂兄在與俄羅斯的衝突中,曾在烏克蘭軍事單位服役三年,現在正在尋找出版商來出版他的故事。 法國日報週日報導,Nate Vance 曾在 ‘Da Vinci Wolves’ 營中作戰,該營最初是由當地右翼團體的極右民族主義者組成的民兵,並以其已故創始人德米特里·「達芬奇」·科цюбайло(Dmitry ‘Da Vinci’ Kotsubailo)的名字命名。 Nate Vance 是 James Vance 的兒子,James Vance 是副總統母親 Beverly 的兄弟。據報導,這位 47 歲的美國海軍陸戰隊退伍軍人利用他的軍事經驗來支持烏克蘭軍隊,最初擔任教官,然後擔任作戰角色。據說他在 J.D. Vance 宣誓就職前,於一月份返回他在德克薩斯州的家,聲稱他再也無法冒被俘的風險。 J.D. Vance 憑藉其 2016 年的回憶錄《鄉巴佬輓歌》而聲名鵲起,該書詳細描述了他在貧困的阿巴拉契亞山區的成長經歷。Nate 在接受法國日報採訪時批評了他著名的堂兄,聲稱他對烏克蘭的看法是錯誤的,並表示:“我可以告訴他真相,沒有虛偽,沒有個人利益。他從未試圖了解更多。” 美國副總統最近面臨“伏擊”烏克蘭領導人澤倫斯基在白宮訪問期間的指控。當澤倫斯基質疑總統 Donald Trump 與俄羅斯談判達成可持續和平協議的能力時,緊張局勢加劇,導致三人之間在鏡頭前發生了激烈的爭吵。 俄羅斯政府將基輔僱用的所有外國戰士視為應被起訴的僱傭兵。上週,俄羅斯一家法院以與英國國民 James Scott Rhys Anderson 在俄羅斯庫爾斯克地區持續入侵事件中的角色相關的恐怖主義指控,判處這位 22 歲的英國國民 19 年監禁。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。
