香港董事學會的《施政報告》回應 經濟雖在轉型 機會大於挑戰

香港,2025年9月17日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 香港董事學會就2025年9月17日發表之《施政報告》作出回應。行政長官李家超先生今日發表任内第四份施政報告,歷3小時,著重既有長遠發展策略及相關措施持續推進,也提及治理制度改革深化,目標是促進經濟轉型,繼而改善民生。董事學會於今年較早前曾成立聚焦小組,討論當前政策形勢,發展路向。今日的《施政報告》有相當内容切合聚焦小組的觀察。我們甚感欣慰。對接國家發展我們贊同,本地經濟發展越能對接國家發展大局,越可以開創繁榮興盛新時代。正如行政長官於演説結尾時提到,過去香港經歷過多次經濟轉型,每次都迎來更强大的經濟。我們要有信念。强化治理近年確有不少人對香港前景產生疑慮,或早已離去,或漸生去意。我們留意到,有部人士的負面情緒可能基於其對政府政策零散不全面,達不到變革效果。政策範圍分散到各個局或部門,實有需要,但若政出多門協調不足,可以令人感到沮喪,對政府失去信心。行政長官提出建立「部門首長責任制」,將部門首長對部門表現負責整體制度化,把司局長就制訂政策須政治問責和公務員就執行政策須行政問責兩者更好銜接。我們認爲,只要機制清晰,調查過程公平公正,公務員必當可以有獎有罰。若責任制能驅使各部門走出筒倉,為既定整體政策目的更好協調協作,或可以催生政府領導力的新典範,强化市民對政府能解決問題的信心。數字經濟,數字社會維持香港作爲宜居城市,需要加快數字經濟數字社會發展步伐。施政報告有措施推進AI和數據科學產業發展,推進數字貿易,構建數字港口系統,持續優化「數碼轉型支援先導計劃」幫助更多中小企實現數字轉型。人才培訓方面,將預留款項支援中小學數字教育。商業應用之外,行政長官提出於政府内成立「AI效能提升組」,應用人工智能重組工作流程,推動部門革新,提升效能。社會福利服務方面,將透過AI聊天機械人及數字病理技術等提升護理效率及服務水平,又會推進中醫業界透過醫健通互通電子健康記錄。經濟發展施政報告提出一系列措施,包括成立「北都發展委員會」,加快發展北部都會區、河套深港創新合作區及新田科技城,朝向國際創新科技中心方向發展。近年政府推出資助計劃,鼓勵創科發展,將上游科研成果轉化為有用商品或服務。科研人員在其自身領域一定卓爾非凡,但未必每位優秀的科研人員都自然而然對經營管理一家企業有所認識。與其它企業一樣,初創企業應該由具備合適技能及專長組合的人士組成董事會,而每位董事均應透過專業培訓獲取公司管治的資歷。接受公帑資助的企業,更應如此。旅遊業方面,行政長官提出措施,配合《粵港澳遊艇自由行》政策,推動遊艇經濟,我們歡迎。文化創意產業方面,文創產業發展處會加强對國際和内地的宣傳、交流和業務配對,將對影視旅遊有鼓勵作用。我們相信,香港可以成爲旅遊人士為領略嶺南文化而往返大灣區各處的基地,而香港與大灣區的文創設計人才可以創作更多兼具中華文化或香港特色的文創產品,利用香港的專業服務及資本市場,創造更多受歡迎的文化知識產權。支援中小企施政報告指出,將延長「中小企融資擔保計劃」,注資「BUD專項基金」並擴大資助地域範圍,及將繼續鼓勵銀行為信貸記錄良好的中小企提供融資方便。寬減非住宅用戶水費及排污費、簡化食肆發牌制度,對餐飲業界應有一定幫助。應對長遠挑戰應對人口老化方面,政府將設立「社會高齡化對策工作組」,配合去年已經提出成立的「促進銀髮經濟工作組」,協調各政策局制訂對策。低出生率方面,政府亦打算進一步推出鼓勵生育措施。施政報告與預算案本屆立法會會期快將結束。行政長官其實可以將施政報告推遲到新一届立法會會期展開之後宣讀而不是提前,使得各界別有意參選的人士可以更無拘束地表述政策理念,或更可以幫助政府制訂未來幾年的政策方向。第7届立法會以來,立法年度改由1月開始。政府與立法會確實可以重新考慮,是否將立法年度改回秋季開始。另一可能,就是將施政報告推至1月。此擧我們在2013-2017年期間也曾試過,當時的理由是可以更彰顯施政報告政策佈局與預算案調撥資源的相互關聯。經濟發展 改善民生行政長官于去年施政報告的記者會,開宗明義,說出要以經濟發展去改善民生。與去年立場一樣,今年施政報告明確以經濟和民生為兩大主軸。學會一直認爲,經濟持續增長是尋找資源以解決房屋、貧窮、老年社會和環境等民生問題的最可倚仗的夥伴。香港董事學會簡介香港董事學會為香港代表董事共同努力的首要組織,其宗旨是促進企業永續發展職能,為所有公司、其擁有者、持份者、人類以至地球創造持久價值;為達成使命,學會致力於企業管治(或稱公司治理)及董事專業行為上的倡導及釐定相關標準,以及協助董事的專業發展。憑藉由來自上市公司及非上市公司的董事組成之會員基礎,學會致力為董事提供教育項目及資訊服務,並代表董事發聲。學會具國際視野及多元文化,採用兩文三語經營業務。香港董事學會為「環球董事學會聯盟」即Global Network of Director Institutes的成員,該聯盟匯集世界各地代表董事的翹楚學會。網址 http://www.hkiod.com。傳媒查詢:王俊泳先生(電話﹕2889 1414;電郵﹕wing.wong@hkiod.com;傳真﹕2889 9982) Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

各州墮胎禁令正在引發醫生短缺 News

各州墮胎禁令正在引發醫生短缺

(SeaPRwire) - 今年9月,數萬名醫學生將提交住院醫師申請,這是一個將他們在醫學院學到的技能應用到全國各地醫院和診所實際環境的機會。這不僅是新醫生的一個重要里程碑,他們將開始磨練自己的專業並在他們可能度過餘生的州紮根,對於他們所進入的社區來說也是如此,這些社區都依賴下一代醫生提供優質的醫療保健。 這些學生在決定在哪裡完成住院醫師培訓時,會考慮多種標準,但在過去幾年,他們開始考慮其他因素:州的墮胎法。自從最高法院推翻 Roe v. Wade 以來,已有數個州實施了墮胎禁令,其中12個州完全禁止墮胎。這些禁令導致執業醫生紛紛離開,而未來的醫生也越來越傾向於避開這些州。一場醫生短缺正在醞釀中——在禁止墮胎的州情況往往更糟——如果立法者繼續執意禁止醫療保健而不是投資於它,全國數百萬人將在未來數年感受到痛苦。 作為學術醫學領域近三十年的領導者,我親眼見證了最近一波墮胎禁令如何影響未來醫生選擇學習和培訓的地點。墮胎禁令迫使某些州的醫學院縮減課堂以及教學醫院和診所的健康教育範圍,這可能導致學生不僅對婦產科職業,甚至對常見的急診室情況,例如需要緊急墮胎以挽救患者生命的妊娠併發症,都準備不足。 除了取得醫學博士學位所需的四年醫學教育之外,墮胎禁令也影響著準醫生選擇在哪裡接受專科培訓,以及他們未來可能選擇在哪裡執業。 Association of American Medical Colleges 最近的一份報告顯示,實施墮胎禁令的州收到的住院醫師申請比沒有禁令的州少。對於準婦產科醫生來說,這種差異甚至更大。這些數字不僅影響醫學住院醫師的生活,它們也直接損害實施墮胎禁令州的社區。 大部分醫生在完成住院醫師培訓的同一個州執業。因此,每有一名學生被阻止在禁止墮胎的州執業,該社區就可能失去一位關懷備至、熱情的醫療專家。由於住院醫師申請人數遠遠超過可用的培訓職位(這是全國醫生短缺的一個主要驅動因素),大多數住院醫師職位仍然被填補,但卻不一定是他們將服務社區的理想人選,這可能會增加他們離開該州建立執業的機率。 那些對墮胎限制最嚴格的州,也正是那些已經面臨嚴重醫生短缺的州。像愛達荷州、密西西比州、奧克拉荷馬州、懷俄明州和阿肯色州,每10萬居民大約只有200名醫生。全國平均數字為272名,而人口老化且複雜的州需要更多醫生。這個趨勢已經醞釀多年,而 Roe 案的推翻只會加速這一進程。 看看愛達荷州,就知道農村州受到的打擊有多嚴重。自2022年實施墮胎禁令以來,愛達荷州已經失去了大部分婦產科醫生。在七個人口最多的縣之外,只有23名婦產科醫生服務超過五十萬居民。考慮到愛達荷州一直是全國某些最極端墮胎限制的發源地,這種外流不應令人震驚。 該州曾惡名昭彰地一路告到最高法院,試圖禁止甚至緊急墮胎,在孕婦最需要時剝奪了她們的關鍵護理。這迫使醫生浪費寶貴的時間試圖解釋這條定義模糊的法律,而不是為患者提供最好的護理。醫院不得不開始定期將女性轉移到附近醫療保健沒有如此武斷地受到監管的州,許多患者在等待其病情跨越「危及生命」的模糊界限時,遭受了不必要的痛苦。 醫生不願意在他們判斷力不斷受到質疑、並且僅僅因為想為病人做得對而面臨毀滅性後果(包括吊銷執照和判處監禁)的地方工作。 諷刺的是,其中一些面臨醫生短缺的州已經制定了旨在吸引和留住醫生的計畫,這些計畫已被證明是成功的。但透過限制醫生為患者提供所需護理的能力,這些州正在勸退許多潛在的新醫生。 統計數據幾乎無法描繪出醫生短缺的全貌。急診室人滿為患、被迫驅車數百英里才能找到最近的專科醫生,以及漫長的等待時間,只是數百萬美國人已經面臨的部分現實,而更多人將因墮胎禁令而開始經歷這些。 隨著醫學生在未來幾週提交住院醫師申請,立法者迫切需要審視墮胎禁令的全面影響——包括日益惡化的醫生短缺問題——並立即採取行動,幫助新醫生服務他們的社區。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。

Casa Minerals Inc Announces Advanced Ground IP Survey at the Arsenault Project ACN Newswire

Casa Minerals Inc Announces Advanced Ground IP Survey at the Arsenault Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 17, 2025) - Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTCQB: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the "Company" or "Casa") is pleased to announce that it has received partial results from the 3D ground-based Induced Polarization ("IP") survey recently completed at its highly prospective copper-silver-lead-zinc Arsenault property located in northern British Columbia, close to the Yukon-B.C. border.The geophysical contractor employed state-of-the-art instruments with dipoles at 100m station spacing to dimensions of 15m in subsurface high density data acquisition. The survey consists of 60 km of parallel lines with 200m line spacing that covered approximately 12 square kms at the heart of the 96.5 square kilometer (37.3 sq. mile) Arsenault property. The property is located in "Big Salmon" geological terrain comprising volcano-sedimentary formations that elsewhere are host to important VMS and precious metals deposits.Data acquired in the field is now being processed to present two dimensional drawings (pseudo-sections) that depict ground mass resistivity and chargeability and are being received daily. Survey lines are spaced at 200 metres and controlled by GPS. Figures 1 to 6 illustrate the resulting Induced Polarization and Resistivity that are interpreted to reflect characteristics of the underlying bedrock.In addition to the recent survey and other work by its own crews, Casa has a large database of similar geophysical work, geochemical surveys, geological mapping, and trenching.An airborne VTEM survey in 2017 revealed five compelling exploration targets of low resistivity coincident with strong geochemistry in volcanic members of Big Salmon rocks. As shown in the accompanying drawings, the 2025 advanced 3D ground IP survey is highlighted by strong geophysical signatures that confirm most of the pre-existing data including that from a previously flown Airborne Electromagnetic ("EM") survey (2017). The colour-coded pseudo-sections show a pattern of high to very high chargeability responses as well as an array of resistivity responses from very low to high but due in part to widely varying electrical characteristics inherent in different rock and mineral types, do not allow confident assignment of anomalies to rock (or mineral) types. Ultimately confirmation will be with further, more-detailed surveys, trenching and drilling.Casa's management team has extensive experience in applying technical data in the search for valuable base and precious metal deposits. Plans to advance the Arsenault property are being finalized with an objective of entering the drilling phase.Areas of particularly strong technical signatures will be the focus of the initial drilling campaign. The Company has conducted consultations with the Teslin-Taku First Nation and has a drill permit from the provincial of British Columbia. A drill program will be with personnel accommodated in a temporary camp. All environmental and social protocols will be strictly observed.Figure 1: Line 27E Alpha IP SurveyTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/266791_figure%201%20-%20line%2027e.jpgFigure 2: Line 26E Alpha IP SurveyTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/266791_figure%202%20-%20line%2026e.jpgFigure 3: Line 25E Alpha IP SurveyTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/266791_figure%203%20-%20line%2025e.jpgFigure 4: Line 24E Alpha IP SurveyTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/266791_figure%204%20-%20line%2024e.jpgFigure 5: Line 23E Alpha IP SurveyTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/266791_figure%205%20-%20line%2023e.jpgFigure 6: Line 22E Alpha IP SurveyTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/266791_figure%206%20-%20line%2022e.jpgThe VTEM Airborne geophysical survey depicts the acquired IP line locations and in relation to the VTEM identified targets.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/266791_casafig7.jpgThe Following the 3D Presentation of Induced Polarization and Resistivity sections completed to date.

(SeaPRwire) - 上個月,亞利桑那州眾議員 David Schweikert 向眾議院提出了 (H.R. 4988) 法案。該法案將「授權美國總統針對犯罪企業成員或與涉及網絡犯罪的企業相關的任何陰謀者對美國的侵略行為,發布私掠許可證和報復令,以及用於其他目的。」 有了這種權力,總統可以授權私人公民或私人公司攻擊網絡詐騙者。 這類似於海盜和私掠船過去代表其政府在海上攻擊外國敵人。事實上, 私掠船可能贏得了 美國的 。 表明,1776 年大陸海軍僅有 64 艘船隻,而持有執照和保證金的私掠船隻則有 1,697 艘。這 64 艘船隻擁有 1,242 門大砲,而私掠船隻則擁有 14,872 門大砲。因此,大陸海軍僅捕獲了 196 艘船隻,而私掠船隻則捕獲了 2,283 艘船隻。 這種私掠行為能否結束當前的網絡戰爭?美國是否應該考慮在今天的網絡戰爭中動員私掠船?政府資源難道不能勝任這項工作嗎?這些問題的答案 可能就在您自己的電子郵件收件箱中。 首先,考慮一下您每天收到多少詐騙、網絡釣魚或欺騙電子郵件。忘掉有關 的頭條新聞,或每年因越來越聰明的犯罪分子而損失的 美元。您是否經常因 而感到不便或直接受害?您是否成功地向 FBI 或其他法律機構報告了此類入侵行為?可能沒有。然而,如果您試圖對詐騙者進行報復,您將違反聯邦法律。 早在 2010 年,當我創作一本名為Daddy’s Little Felons的小說時,我開始推廣網絡私掠行為,該小說深入探討了這個概念。這個想法大約花了 15 年才獲得關注。今年早些時候,我的猶他州參議員 Mike Lee 表示國會應該恢復私掠許可證和報復令。但直到 2025 年 8 月,H.R. 4988 才被提出。 我記得大約在 1986 年左右,在我們的一次每週廣告會議上,我和 Oracle 的 Larry Ellison 進行了一次談話。他說,政府可以花費一百萬美元和一年的時間來訓練一名飛行員駕駛一架價值數百萬美元的 F-16,但一個人在地下室裡,擁有一台筆記本電腦,並有充足的 Jolt 供應,可以更迅速地攻擊美國的敵人——掠奪中央銀行,甚至推翻政府。在這種情況下,F-16 看起來毫無用處。有些工作是為政府準備的,有些工作則非常適合新興的私掠企業家。 想像一下,持有執照和保證金的網絡私掠船掠奪犯罪企業(包括政府),並與美國財政部五五分成。 但當然,這些私掠船應該有一些指導方針。為了建立這些,我們可以回顧 1823 年的門羅主義,該主義宣布歐洲人應該遠離美洲,否則後果自負。 基於這項原則,我建議在眾議員 Schweikert 的法案中添加一些內容——一種 網絡私掠船法典,內容如下: 任何未經授權嘗試訪問您的計算機或網絡釣魚您的數據訪問權限的行為都構成犯罪,應受到授權的網絡私掠船掠奪攻擊者資產的懲罰。 如果確定攻擊者是在較大組織或政府的明確指示下行事,則該組織或政府的資產也應被沒收,授權的網絡私掠船可以沒收這些資產。其資產被網絡私掠船沒收的個人——或被公開和合法指定的組織或政府發言人——有權與網絡私掠組織的負責人進行「談判」。此類會議可以在線進行雙向視頻會議,由一方或雙方公開記錄,並且可以在贓物處置之前進行,但不遲於沒收後的 10 天。 無辜的受害者,其資產被網絡私掠船直接且錯誤地沒收(並且其資金在談判後 10 天內未退還),應獲得相當於其損失四倍的賠償,賠償金額按每年 12% 的利率累計利息。 通知和談判請求必須由網絡私掠船明確地留下,以便及時行使談判權。 可以肯定的是,採用這種類似海盜的網絡犯罪預防模式需要新的監管結構,並且會引發新的複雜情況。 例如,當一名持有有效私掠許可證和報復令的持牌私掠船從犯罪組織中攜走數百萬美元時,會發生什麼? 我們會發現該私掠船的身體部位,以及朋友和家人的身體部位,散落在各個公共場所,以展示典型的黑幫炫耀嗎? 但是,我堅信這種方法可以為美國釋放一種強大的新工具來打擊網絡犯罪。 如果它在美國獨立戰爭期間對我們有效,誰說它今天不能對我們有效呢?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。 ```

Definitive agreement to implement a joint mine plan between Los Bronces and Andina copper mines JCN Newswire

Definitive agreement to implement a joint mine plan between Los Bronces and Andina copper mines

TOKYO, September 17, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Corporation (“MC”) is pleased to announce that Anglo American Sur S.A. (“AAS”), in which MC holds a 20.4% stake, has entered into a definitive agreement with Codelco to implement a joint mine plan for their adjacent copper operations in Chile: Los Bronces and Andina. This agreement builds on the memorandum of understanding announced in February 2025.Los Bronces and Andina have been trusted neighbors for decades. The implementation of a joint mine plan marks an important milestone that will further strengthen this partnership. This transaction is expected to generate a potential pre-tax value uplift of at least US$5 billion (100% basis), driven by the efficient development of the Los Bronces-Andina mining district and the optimization of existing processing capacity with minimal incremental capital investment. The joint mine plan is set to begin in 2030 and is projected to yield an additional 120,000 tonnes of copper production per year over a 21-year period (MC’s equity share: 12,000 tonnes of copper per year).A new operating company, jointly owned and controlled by AAS and Codelco, will be established to coordinate the execution of the joint plan. Copper production and the resulting economic benefits will be shared equally between AAS and Codelco.As part of its corporate strategy, MC aims to expand its equity-based resource production and strengthen its competitive edge through its value-creation framework: Enhance, Reshape, and Create. This project serves as a key example of “Reshaping” existing operations through strategic new partnerships. Copper is projected to experience sustained long-term demand growth. At the same time, challenges such as declining ore grades are making new mine development increasingly complex, raising concerns about future supply stability. MC remains firmly committed to securing and maintaining a stable supply of copper resources, recognizing their essential role in decarbonization.

Anti-MTBR (microtubule binding region) Tau Antibody Etalanetug Granted FDA Fast Track Designation JCN Newswire

Anti-MTBR (microtubule binding region) Tau Antibody Etalanetug Granted FDA Fast Track Designation

TOKYO, September 8, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) announced today that etalanetug (development code: E2814), an investigational anti-MTBR (microtubule binding region) tau antibody, was granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Fast Track designation is an FDA program that is intended to facilitate and expedite development of new drugs to address unmet medical need in the treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and provide opportunities for frequent interactions with the FDA.AD is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterized by formation of protein deposits known as plaques made of amyloid-beta aggregates and neurofibrillary tangles made of tau protein in the brains of people living with AD. The data show that amyloid-beta protofibrils and tau tangles play roles in the neurodegeneration process.1,2,3Etalanetug is an anti-tau antibody that targets specific tau species containing MTBR, tau seeds that spread tau pathology to different brain regions. Etalanetug was discovered as part of the research collaboration between Eisai and University College London. In the Phase I/II clinical trial (Study 103, NCT04971733) targeting patients with Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Disease (DIAD), target engagement with MTBR-tau species in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with etalanetug was confirmed. Additionally, there was a reduction in CSF MTBR-tau243, a biomarker reflecting brain tau pathophysiology, as well as a trend towards suppression or decrease in tau PET signal. These results suggest that etalanetug inhibited tau propagation and suppressed the accumulation of tau aggregates in brains of people living with DIAD.Currently, etalanetug is being evaluated with a standard of care treatment, an anti-amyloid β protofibril antibody, lecanemab in two clinical trials: the Tau NexGen Phase II/III clinical trial (NCT05269394) for DIAD, led by the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and a Phase II clinical trial (Study 202, NCT06602258) targeting sporadic early AD.Following the development of treatments targeting amyloid beta, if treatments targeting tau become available, it is expected that this will be a further major breakthrough in the treatment of AD.Eisai positions neurology as one of its key therapeutic areas, and it will continue to create innovation in the development of novel medicines based on cutting-edge neurology research as it seeks to contribute further to improving the benefits of affected individuals and their families in diseases with high unmet needs, such as dementia including AD.

(UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Russia)EMEA Communications Department+44 (0) 786 601 1272EMEA-comms@eisai.net About the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Fast Track DesignationFast Track is a special measure provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. The Fast Track designation is available not only when treatments do not exist, but also for drugs that demonstrate a potential advantage over existing treatments. Once a drug has granted Fast Track designation, the FDA will increase the frequency of meetings to discuss development, and if supported by clinical data at the time of New Drug Application submission, the drug may also be eligible for Priority Review and Accelerated Approval.Biomarkers related to AD tau pathologyAs fluid biomarkers related to AD tau pathology, tau containing the residue 243 (MTBR-tau243) and tau phosphorylated at the residue 217 (p-tau217) in CSF have been reported.4 In addition, positron emission tomography (tau PET), which specifically detects tau aggregates, is used as an imaging biomarker. These biomarkers are included in the Revised criteria for diagnosis and staging of AD published by the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) in June 2024.5References1.

These experiences were designed to reflect Daesung’s status in the industry while also showcasing sureWin’s ability to support events that balance large-scale appeal with personal impact. By aligning with Daesung, sureWin positioned itself at the heart of the K-pop wave that continues to dominate music markets in Asia and beyond. The event also reinforced the platform’s focus on inclusivity, attracting diverse audiences from across the region. In a market where K-pop continues to be one of the fastest-growing cultural exports, the partnership with Daesung strengthened sureWin’s reputation as a company that understands both global trends and regional fan expectations. The Black Eyed Peas: Innovation Meets Global Pop Shortly after Daesung’s concert, the spotlight shifted to the Black Eyed Peas, a group that has defined mainstream pop and hip-hop fusion for decades. Under the sureWin banner, the Black Eyed Peas delivered an energetic performance that blended their classic anthems with cutting-edge production design. The collaboration introduced a Futuristic Dress Code theme, encouraging fans to participate in a visual spectacle that extended beyond the stage. The choice of a futuristic concept reflected both the group’s history of innovation and sureWin’s commitment to modern, immersive entertainment. With state-of-the-art lighting, choreography, and sound design, the event highlighted how international acts can integrate seamlessly with local audiences when supported by the right partners. For sureWin, the collaboration proved its ability to handle productions of international scale while maintaining a consistent focus on quality and fan engagement. Ticketing benefits and exclusive access opportunities further elevated the event, demonstrating that sureWin’s approach extends beyond simple sponsorship. By providing fans with tangible advantages, the brand distinguished itself as an active contributor to the success of the performance. The result was a concert that not only entertained but also set a benchmark for how global acts can be presented in Asia through thoughtful partnership models. Dual Success in a Competitive Market In Asia’s entertainment industry, the ability to secure one high-profile partnership often defines a brand’s standing. By delivering both Daesung and the Black Eyed Peas within weeks of each other, sureWin achieved a dual success that few competitors could match. The collaborations served as proof points for the company’s resources, network, and strategic vision. This accomplishment is particularly notable given the diversity of the artists involved. Daesung represents the pinnacle of K-pop, appealing to a highly engaged regional audience, while the Black Eyed Peas embody international pop culture with a global fan base. Bringing these two distinct acts under the same sponsorship umbrella highlighted sureWin’s versatility and ability to operate across cultural and musical boundaries. Industry analysis pointed out that such partnerships require both financial commitment and operational expertise. By executing two major events seamlessly, sureWin showed it can deliver at the highest level of professional entertainment management, reinforcing its position as a leading partner for global talent entering the Asian market. Looking Forward: It’s The Ship 2025 While the Daesung and Black Eyed Peas collaborations marked a defining moment, sureWin has already signaled that this is only the beginning. The company has confirmed its involvement in It’s The Ship 2025, one of the region’s most innovative music festivals staged aboard a luxury cruise. This upcoming project will allow sureWin to extend its entertainment presence into new formats that combine travel, community, and live performance. Unlike traditional concerts, It’s The Ship represents a multi-day cultural experience where fans live alongside artists in a shared environment. sureWin’s participation demonstrates its intention to be at the forefront of experiential entertainment, ensuring audiences encounter memorable events that blend lifestyle and music in unprecedented ways. Redefining Entertainment Standards The combination of Daesung and the Black Eyed Peas in a single month illustrates sureWin’s long-term vision. By simultaneously embracing the intimacy of a K-pop connection and the innovation of a global pop production, the company redefined what entertainment sponsorship can mean in Asia. Rather than approaching partnerships as transactional, sureWin invests in experiences that reflect the spirit of each artist while also addressing the expectations of their audiences. This strategy creates a framework where every collaboration enhances the brand’s credibility and adds measurable value to the live entertainment industry. As the region continues to attract world-class performers, sureWin has established itself as a consistent and reliable partner, capable of delivering the scale, creativity, and professionalism that international artists require. The results of this integrated approach are evident in the success of the Daesung and Black Eyed Peas events, both of which left an enduring mark on the entertainment calendar of 2025. With more projects on the horizon, sureWin is poised to continue shaping the cultural landscape. The brand’s trajectory suggests that audiences across Asia can expect even more world-class collaborations in the years ahead, ensuring that live entertainment continues to thrive with innovation and excellence at its core.

Professor Lin Xiang Xiong Hosts Landmark Art Exhibition and Peace Prize Ceremony in Paris

“The Vicissitudes of Life” Celebrates the Transformative Power of Art in Dialogue, Reflection and PeacebuildingPENANG, Malaysia, Sept 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Renowned humanitarian-artist Professor Lin Xiang Xiong (“Professor Lin”) and founder of the Lin Xiang Xiong Art Gallery in Penang, presented his latest exhibition, “The Vicissitudes of Life”, at the historic Hôtel de l’Industrie in Paris from 10 to 13 September 2025.(L-R) Jean-Pierre Raffarin, former French Prime Minister and founder of Lin Xiang Xiong Art Gallery, Professor Lin Xiang XiongThe exhibition received strong support from key French institutions, with former French President François Hollande serving as Honorary Patron, and former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin personally attending the opening. Featuring 25 original works by Professor Lin, the exhibition explored three themes - anti-war, anti-poverty, and anti-pollution - and vividly embodied Professor Lin’s vision of “Art for Peace”, a concept that transcends aesthetics and seeks to inspire moral reflection and intercultural understanding.Distinguished speakers exchange views on art, culture, and peace during the academic symposium held as part of Professor Lin Xiang Xiong’s exhibition “The Vicissitudes of Life” in Paris.During the exhibition, a high-level academic symposium was held, bringing together leading international scholars, philosophers, and cultural leaders to reflect on “Intercultural Dialogue at the Crossroads” and “Rebuilding the Concept of Peace through Art.” Distinguished speakers included French writer and human rights activist Marek Halter, eminent philosopher and sinologist François Jullien, intellectual publisher François L’Yvonnet, Swiss curator and sociologist Barbara Polla, special adviser to the President of the Arab World Institute Claude Mollard, cultural diplomacy advisor Yves Marek, and retired French Air Force General Étienne Copel. Throughout the discussions, Professor Lin shared his unique insights on the times, on art, and on the essence of peace, sparking strong resonance and deep dialogue.On 12 September, the inaugural “Lin Xiang Xiong Art for Peace Prize” ceremony was held with great success. The competition drew 1,883 entries from 100 countries around the world, far exceeding expectations. This overwhelming response underscored the wide recognition of Professor Lin’s “Art for Peace” advocacy, echoing the common aspirations of today’s world. Professor Lin announced that the award will be established as a biennial event, continuing as a major artistic initiative dedicated to peace.The exhibition and symposium attracted a full house at the historic Hôtel de l’Industrie in Paris.“This exhibition is more of an awakening of thought than a presentation of art,” said Professor Lin Xiang Xiong. “Every brushstroke is a testimony of time, a silent dialogue between past and present, pain and healing. Whether through the exhibition or the establishment of the Peace Prize, I hope art is not merely for admiration but can truly touch hearts, serve as a bridge between cultures, and awaken the soft conscience deep within humanity.”Exhibition view of “The Vicissitudes of Life”The exhibition also marks a milestone in Professor Lin’s artistic journey and heralds the opening of the Lin Xiang Xiong Art Gallery in Penang, scheduled for mid-December 2025. Covering 8,000 square meters, the gallery will house Professor Lin’s major works and also providing a platform for emerging artists to pursue their dreams. It will stand as one of the largest private art galleries in the region, strengthening Malaysia’s role as a hub of cultural diplomacy and intercultural understanding in Southeast Asia.Through “The Vicissitudes of Life,” Professor Lin once again demonstrates that art is a messenger of thought and conscience. With clarity, he advocates peace, and as an artist, he chooses his own path - through the soft power of culture, through words, and through his brush - to voice his deep concern for war, pollution, and poverty. With art as his language, he calls upon fellow artists to join his cause, uniting their strength to speak out for peace and the future of humanity.Download high-resolution images from this LINK.About Lin Xiang XiongProfessor Lin Xiang Xiong is a renowned artist, entrepreneur, and advocate for global security through art.

7億美元加注協鑫科技 發力技術迭代賦能落後產能出清

香港,2025年9月17日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 9月16日,光伏高科技顆粒矽龍頭協鑫科技(03800.HK)發佈公告,宣佈與有中東主權基金背景的國際知名投資機構無極資本(Infini Capital)達成戰略融資協議,通過定向增發方式配售約47.36億股,募集資金54.46億港元,約合7億美元,意向鎖定6個月,進一步鞏固公司股權結構安全穩定。公告顯示,本次融資將主要用於三個方面:首先,用於供給側改革的資金儲備,推進多晶矽產能結構性調整;其次,強化第二曲線,以全球第一的矽烷氣產能和產量,完成海外替代,在半導體集成電路對電子特氣需求提升、TOPCon電池向BC電池轉型對矽烷需求放量,鋰電行業固態、半固態電池對矽烷的應用需求以及顯示面板對矽烷氣品質的高要求的多重背景下,以矽烷氣打造協鑫新增長極;第三,優化公司資本結構,穩固股權結構護城河。一位分析師在接受記者採訪時說: "當前多晶矽領域正在經歷供給側改革,但上游矽烷氣的市場需求量卻快速提升。光伏電池技術升級、儲能應用以及集成電路、顯示面板等領域對高品質矽烷氣的需求持續增加,協鑫科技以此次融資為契機,開闢第二增長曲線,能夠形成顆粒矽、矽烷氣等多業務協同發展的新格局,在行業‘反內卷’的關鍵時期儲備資金,贏得先機。"該分析師表示,通過資本賦能,協鑫科技在顆粒矽技術規模化應用、矽烷氣產能和市場優勢以及鈣鈦礦產業孵化之間形成良性互動,既鞏固現有優勢,又培育未來增長點,更能在全球能源轉型中豐盈"反內卷"現金池,引領行業推動光伏產業供給側改革。據悉,協鑫科技此次攜手的無極資本雙總部位於阿聯酋阿布紮比和中國香港,有著多元化的投資佈局,覆蓋戰略新興科技、人工智能、人形機器人、智能製造等投資主題,已為中國高科技公司的快速發展提供超過100億港元的資金支持。上述行業分析師指出,當前光伏行業正面臨技術路線加速迭代與產能出清的關鍵節點。此次協鑫科技與無極資本攜手,將有助於協鑫在現有基礎上擴大競爭優勢,高效輻射國內外高端市場,更可將碳排放優勢轉化為定價權,跳出"內卷"掣肘,在全球光伏市場供給側改革中佔據有利地位。此外,協鑫科技此次逆週期融資,也凸顯其通過技術差異化持續打破行業同質競爭格局的戰略意圖,推動光伏行業告別低價內耗的"內卷"困境。"此次融資不僅優化了協鑫科技的資本結構,夯實了控股股東的地位,更關鍵的是為技術迭代以及推進落後產能出清提供了充足彈藥,展現出國際投資機構對協鑫科技的信心。在行業‘反內卷’的關鍵時期,具備技術領先優勢與充足現金儲備的企業將獲得更大議價和溢價空間。"上述分析師表示。協鑫科技相關負責人告訴記者,雙方還將秉持協同發展與行業優化的共同目標,聯合發起設立專項產業基金。該基金聚焦於整合行業內低效、低質的過剩產能,通過市場化收購、專業化重組及創新性升級等方式,推動資源向高質量產能集中,終結行業低價無序競爭亂象,緩解惡性"內卷"帶來的資源浪費與發展壓力,引導行業回歸價值創造本質,構建健康有序、可持續發展的產業生態。 財務數據顯示,2025上半年,協鑫科技EBITDA(稅息折舊及攤銷前利潤)約為3.8億元,同比增長325.8%,守好了不虧現金的底線和基本盤。截至2025年二季度,顆粒矽平均生產現金成本(未含稅)已降至25.31元/公斤,較今年一季度降低6.5%,繼續保持行業最高水平,上半年公司顆粒矽產量市占率達到24.32%。上述分析師表示,隨著國家整治光伏內卷、遏制無序競爭、依法保護知識產權等政策措施的力度加大,協鑫科技今年內在光伏行業裡率先扭虧為盈勝券在握。截至9月15日收盤,協鑫科技報1.26港元/股,年內累計漲幅達16.67%。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
