Hua Medicine Announces Successful U.S. Phase I Results on Its 2nd Generation GKA Candidate ACN Newswire

Hua Medicine Announces Successful U.S. Phase I Results on Its 2nd Generation GKA Candidate

December 1, 2024
SHANGHAI, Nov 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hua Medicine (the “Company”, HKEx stock code: 2552) announced today that the Company has successfully completed a Phase I clinical trial on its 2nd generation GKA candidate in U.S. at the 9th China BioMed Innovation and Investment Conference (CBIIC).The Phase Ia clinical trial of the second-generation GKA (HM-002-1005) was conducted in the United States in 40 subjects with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). This trial was randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, focusing on safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics. The second-generation GKA is a novel molecular entity with optimized physicochemical properties, holding new patents, and serving as the prodrug of dorzagliatin (HMS5552). This study designed for once-daily oral administration. Its aim is to extend the drug's action duration in the body through sustained-release technology, enhance patient compliance, and prolong the stimulation of GLP-1 secretion in the intestines.The Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study demonstrates that HM-002-1005 tablets can be rapidly converted to HMS5552 in the human body, with minimal exposure level of prodrug in both blood and urine. The t1/2 (biological half-life) after a single dose of HM-002-1005 tablets was prolonged compared to dorzagliatin tablets. The Cmax of HMS5552 in plasma after a 184.5mg single dose is comparable to the plasma concentration of HMS5552 after a 75mg single dose of dorzagliatin tablet; likewise, the daily AUC of HMS5552 in plasma after a single dose of HM-002-1005 tablets is comparable to the exposure level of HMS5552 after a 75mg BID dose of dorzagliatin tablets. The research indicates that HM-002-1005 tablets are near-completely converted to HMS5552 in human, and its pharmacokinetic characteristics support for once-daily oral administration. The development of HM-002-1005 tablets not only contributes to enhancing patient medication adherence and effectively control blood glucose levels within 24 hours; meanwhile, it also offers the opportunity to explore the Maximum Tolerated Dose above 150mg daily to achieve better efficacy. The 75 mg BID dose regiment was developed under the concept of Minimum Therapeutic Effective Dose in Chinese T2D patients who suffered from an impairment of insulin secretion and significant reduction of early phase insulin. The different disease characters of T2D with obesity in western patient population would benefit dorzagliatin from its effects on GLP-1 secretion and improvement of insulin sensitivity.With the confirmation that the exposure level of HM-002-1005 tablets at 184.5mg is comparable to dorzagliatin tablets at 75mg (BID), we will further optimize the dosage form followed by a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) clinical development of the 2nd generation GKA in China and the United States.Dr. Li CHEN, founder and CEO of Hua Medicine, stated, “Hua Medicine has always been committed to treating Type 2 diabetes at its root cause by restoring patients’ ability to autonomously regulate blood glucose levels. Over the course of a decade, the Company has selected dosing and clinical research protocols that are safe and effective for the majority of Chinese diabetes patients, leading to the successful development of GKA and the clinical application of dorzagliatin. Building on this foundation, the Company will undergo a strategic upgrade by further exploring the therapeutic potential of GKA, enriching its product pipeline and seeking partners both domestically and internationally, in order to benefit a broader range of patients, expand into global markets, and effectively establish the brand identity of GKA medications while maximizing the commercial potential of our global first-in-class drugs.”About Hua MedicineHua Medicine (The “Company”) is an innovative drug development and commercialization company based in Shanghai, China, with companies in the United States and Hong Kong. Hua Medicine focuses on developing novel therapies for patients with unmet medical needs worldwide. Based on global resources, Hua Medicine teams up with global high-calibre people to develop breakthrough technologies and products, which contribute to innovation in diabetes care. Hua Medicine's cornerstone product HuaTangNing (Dorzagliatin tablets), targets the glucose sensor glucokinase, restores glucose sensitivity in T2D patients, and stabilizes imbalances in blood glucose levels in patients. HuaTangNing was approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China on September 30th, 2022. It can be used alone or in combination with metformin for adult T2D patients. For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), no dose adjustment is required. It is an oral hypoglycemic drug that can be used for patients with Type 2 diabetes with renal function impairment.For more informationHua MedicineWebsite: www.huamedicine.comInvestorsE-mail: ir@huamedicine.comMediaE-mail: pr@huamedicine.com Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Hua Medicine Announces Successful H.K. SENSITIZE Study Results at the CBIIC ACN Newswire

Hua Medicine Announces Successful H.K. SENSITIZE Study Results at the CBIIC

December 1, 2024
SHANGHAI, Nov 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hua Medicine (the “Company”, HKEx stock code: 2552) announced today that the Company has successfully completed its SENSITIZE study on the mechanism by which dorzagliatin improves the β-cell glucose sensitivity at the 9th China BioMed Innovation and Investment Conference (CBIIC).The SENSITIZE study was initiated by Professor Juliana Chan, an international endocrinology specialist at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, as the lead researcher. It is the first clinical study in Asian populations to evaluate the impact of GKA on β-cell glucose sensitivity in the populations with varying degrees of impaired glucose tolerance using the technology of hyperglycemic clamp. The study aims to explore the impairment of glucokinase (GK) function and clinical characteristics in different types of glucose dysregulation, providing new scientific evidence on the pathophysiology of Asian Type 2 diabetes and the central role of GK in blood glucose regulation.The SENSITIZE 2 study results announced at CBIIC demonstrate that a single dose of dorzagliatin restores GK enzyme activity, significantly improving the second-phase insulin secretion and β-cell glucose sensitivity in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in hyperglycemic clamp study. In addition, the SENSITIZE 1 study previously reported at the 2022 ADA annual meeting showed that dorzagliatin directly restores the activity of GK mutants, leading to significant improvements in the second-phase insulin secretion and β-cell glucose sensitivity in patients with glucokinase monogenic diabetes (GCK-MODY or MODY-2), and significantly enhance basal insulin secretion in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.Hua Medicine will continue to investigate β-cell glucose sensitivity improvement and incretin effect in response of repeated dose of dorzagliatin in individuals with intermediate hyperglycemia (IH) and Type 2 diabetes, in order to establish personalized intervention and treatment management plans for prediabetic and Type 2 diabetes patients.About Hua MedicineHua Medicine (The “Company”) is an innovative drug development and commercialization company based in Shanghai, China, with companies in the United States and Hong Kong.

(SeaPRwire) - 如果你也是数百万打算在黑色星期五或网络星期一抢购新手机、无线电钻或其他小工具的美国人之一，你可能需要考虑一下那些打折小工具的真实成本。这是因为我们所有人使用的消费电子产品中所含的金属正在导致……甚至…… 当然，不同的设备由不同的材料制成，包括塑料和玻璃。但是，从iPhone到手持式真空吸尘器再到电动牙刷，当今的无线消费电子产品通常包含三个关键的金属部件：电池、充电线和磁铁。这些部件的原材料往往以令人不安的方式采购。 为大多数电子产品供电的锂离子电池由锂（当然）、镍和钴制成。世界上最大的锂来源之一是智利的阿塔卡马沙漠，那里的矿山……许多科学家和土著居民担心他们……家园是稀有火烈鸟的泻湖；为山羊、绵羊和羊驼提供食物的植被；以及阿塔卡梅尼奥土著社区延续数千年的生活方式，可能会…… 在世界的另一边，印度尼西亚近年来已成为主要的镍原材料供应国。为了清理用于新矿山和相关基础设施的土地，仅在一个群岛国家的众多岛屿之一，就有超过20,000英亩的雨林被……砍伐。包括六价铬在内的矿山废物——艾琳·布罗科维奇（Erin Brockovich）曾因其致癌毒性而闻名——已经污染了溪流和水道。一旦开采出来，镍矿石就会在巨大的工业设施中进行加工，这些设施会排放空气污染物并消耗能源，而这些能源大多来自…… 全世界超过……的钴来自刚果民主共和国，这是一个饱受反复内战、地方性腐败和极度贫困困扰的国家。刚果民主共和国最糟糕的矿山简直就是一场噩梦。穿着短裤、T恤和人字拖的男子……在狭窄的地下隧道里度过白天，用手工工具凿出钴。隧道倒塌，活埋矿工的情况并不少见。也许最令人不安的是，刚果民主共和国的钴矿工包括数千名儿童。“孩子们需要经常搬运超过他们体重重量的矿石，”……一群访问过数十座矿山的欧洲研究人员说。孩子们还经常遭到保安的殴打和鞭打。有些孩子只有……岁。 然后是为我们设备的锂离子电池供电的充电线。这些电缆……含有铜，其他常见的电子元件（如印刷电路板和内部布线）也是如此。铜在世界许多地方开采，这很少是一个美好的过程。从美国西部到南美洲到中非，铜矿开采留下了……充满……的废弃矿井，污染了大片土地和水道。这种红色金属也经常引发暴力。近年来，在秘鲁，警方……在与铜矿有关的冲突中……在巴基斯坦俾路支省，对铜资源的争夺正在加剧……在南非，武装团伙大量盗窃铜来卖给回收商，有时会……那些干扰他们的人。 我们很少看到第三种金属部件：钕基“永磁体”，它使无线电钻旋转，手机振动，并在耳机和笔记本电脑扬声器中发出声音。中国……稀土的生产，稀土是一类金属，其中包括钕。他们对稀土的控制如此之大，以至于2010年北京……对日本短暂……时，它给全球经济带来了冲击波。中国主要的稀土矿区是污染最严重的地区之一。中国还从缅甸进口越来越多的稀土，缅甸……用大量有毒化学物质从丛林山坡上开采稀土。 所有这些都加剧了各种金属开采产生的巨大碳排放。矿山需要大量的钻机、卡车、挖掘机和其他重型机械，这些能源消耗大户占世界年度温室气体排放量的…… 除了黑色星期五之外，我们对电子产品的沉迷造成的后果已经够糟糕了。随着消费者投入数百甚至数千美元，每年的购物狂欢节的销售额持续增长。而且……这些购买的大部分最终都进入了垃圾填埋场或焚烧炉。在美国，每年只有不到……的报废手机被回收。 我们能做些什么来降低这些可怕的成本？考虑购买二手或翻新的电子产品，以帮助减少对原生金属的需求。并帮助向制造商施压，促使他们使用更多再生材料。他们开始关注了：今年Apple和Samsung的手机都使用了创纪录数量的……和钕。 但作为消费者，我们所能做的最有影响力的事情很简单：抵制促销的诱惑，不要购买太多小工具。这可能是最好的交易。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。

7岁中国女孩黄莺山在联合国气候变化大会上发表英语演讲 Business

7岁中国女孩黄莺山在联合国气候变化大会上发表英语演讲

November 30, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - 来自北京的7岁女孩黄英珊在巴库举行的联合国气候变化大会上发表了一篇感人至深的演讲，表达了她对自然的热爱并呼吁采取行动应对气候变化。（51Talk报道）中国深圳，2024年11月29日 -- 51Talk报道，第29届联合国气候变化大会在阿塞拜疆首都巴库成功召开。这次全球环境峰会汇集了政府官员、科学家和环保倡导者，共同讨论应对日益严峻的气候危机的有效策略。与会嘉宾中有一位特殊的客人：来自中国北京的7岁女孩黄英珊，她自信的演讲深深吸引了听众。 7岁的中国女孩黄英珊在联合国气候变化大会上发表英文演讲 作为大会历史上最年轻的演讲者，黄英珊不仅创造了纪录，还发表了一篇题为“我的北京迪士尼乐园”的真挚演讲。通过讲述她沉浸在自然中成长的故事，她呼吁听众优先关注气候问题，并为地球母亲的未来采取行动保护环境。 黄英珊：来自自然的环保倡导者 黄英珊，一位在自然世界中成长的北京女孩，她真实而充满情感的讲述深深打动了与会者。她分享了她童年在自然中充满活力的经历——在农场自由玩耍，在田野和森林中奔跑，在种植季节与母亲一起爬树。她位于北京的小农场，充满着乡村的乐趣，已经成为她个人专属的“迪士尼乐园”。 在她眼中，这个狂野而迷人的空间堪比任何城市迪士尼乐园。她巧妙地利用不同季节的自然材料进行游戏，并与动物伙伴一起探索农场，同时见证着播种和收获的循环。自然元素——沙子、土壤、水、风和火——提供了感官体验，激发了她的创造力和探索精神。对英珊来说，自然不仅仅是游乐场，也是灵感和想象力的无限源泉。 她提到，虽然书籍和图片可以让我们了解自然，但亲身体验能让我们更深刻地欣赏自然的包容性和美丽。她引用一首著名的唐诗，“欲穷千里目，更上一层楼”，来形容她每次爬上树眺望远方时所感受到的惊奇和自豪。 她还强调了保护珍贵的自然空间的重要性。她以自己的“秘密花园”为例，解释了乱扔垃圾如何会危害环境并危及她的动物朋友，这将减少她心爱隐居地的快乐和美丽。 黄英珊与自然的紧密联系让她意识到环境保护的紧迫性。随着全球变暖导致极端天气事件越来越频繁，例如2023年创纪录的高温，人类面临着越来越大的高温、干旱和洪涝挑战。她呼吁与会者认识到本次联合国气候变化大会的重要性，并在做出决定或计划时优先考虑自然与人类活动之间的平衡。 作为一名小学生，英珊生动的讲述、合乎逻辑的见解和流利的英语给在场所有人留下了深刻的印象。她的演讲不仅传达了信息，而且激发了情感联系，赢得了世界各国代表的赞扬和钦佩。 在自然和爱中成长：家庭教育的作用 黄英珊的母亲分享了她的教育理念，她强调了让孩子们沉浸在自然中并尊重他们创造力的重要性。“英珊是一个观察力敏锐、热情洋溢、富有想象力的孩子，她热爱乡村和野生环境。如果我们深入观察并创造合适的条件，每个孩子都拥有这些天赋。她对自然的理解并非来自成人的教导，而是来自她自身的经验和她与周围环境的联系。与自然紧密联系并受到自然滋养的孩子会快乐、乐观和积极主动。” 英珊流利的英语也证明了她父母的支持和指导以及她自身的努力。 黄英珊：中国青年的榜样 从在镜子前练习演讲到在联合国发表精彩的演讲，黄英珊的旅程反映了她坚持不懈和毅力。她的故事不仅突出了家庭教育的重要性，也突出了中国青年在环境倡导方面的乐观和积极精神。 应对全球气候变化是所有国家和世代共同的责任。中国青年的声音和行动在全球环境运动中正变得越来越重要。黄英珊真挚的呼吁为这项事业注入了新的活力，并为其他人树立了鼓舞人心的榜样。她和像她一样的年轻倡导者的演讲，是对未来责任的有力宣示，也是对采取紧急行动的呼吁。 关于51Talk 51Talk是中国在线英语教育行业的知名品牌。自2011年成立以来，该公司一直专注于通过提供高质量的教育资源来创造卓越的用户体验。51Talk引领在线英语教育，为所有年龄段的学生提供服务，重点是通过与合格的外国教师进行沉浸式一对一课程来提高英语水平。 如今，51Talk与全球众多组织合作，凭借其创新的教学方法和对教育卓越的承诺，影响着数千名学生。 更多信息，请访问。 公司：51Talk 联系人姓名：张雪 邮箱： 电话：13520550835 网站： 免责声明： 本文表达的观点是作者的观点，并不一定反映KISS PR或其合作伙伴的观点或立场。本内容仅供参考，不应被解释为法律、财务或专业建议。KISS PR不对本文中任何信息的准确性、完整性、正确性、适用性或有效性做任何陈述，并且不对因显示或使用此信息而造成的任何错误、遗漏或延误，或任何损失、伤害或损害承担责任。所有信息均按原样提供。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。

Acme, Founder of ACET, Calling on Thailand’s Embrace of Digital Assets SeaPRwire

Acme, Founder of ACET, Calling on Thailand’s Embrace of Digital Assets

November 30, 2024
London, United Kingdom – November 30, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – Recently, ACET celebrated reaching 150,000 holders worldwide. ACET founder Worawat “Acme” Narknawdee the 36-year old visionary Billionnaire, financial innovator, investor, and entrepreneur is calling on the Thai government to embrace Bitcoin as part of its international reserve fund. The Possibility of Bitcoin as Thailand’s Reserve Fund Acme believes that Bitcoin is no longer just a digital currency, but a force poised to transform the global economy. With Bitcoin’s market value surging to unprecedented heights, Acme argues that now is the time for Thailand to position itself as a leader in the digital age. Acme envisions Bitcoin as an indispensable asset that can help Thailand diversify its financial reserves, improve economic stability, and lead the way in blockchain innovation. While the volatility and regulatory concerns surrounding Bitcoin are valid, Acme believes these obstacles are surmountable with proper education, infrastructure, and regulatory reform. “Thailand stands at a crossroads,” Acme explained. “The future of money is digital, and Bitcoin is the key to unlocking the potential of a fully digital economy. By taking bold steps today, Thailand can lead the region and set the stage for long-term prosperity in the global digital economy.” “Bitcoin is more than a currency,” said Acme. “It is a revolutionary technology that can drive the future of finance, and Thailand has the potential to lead this charge.” His proposal is to integrate Bitcoin into Thailand’s reserves to enhance economic diversification, improve resilience against global volatility, and ultimately fuel the country’s digital economy. This strategic move could place Thailand at the forefront of blockchain technology and digital currency adoption in Southeast Asia. The Bold Path Forward Acme’s proposal may seem daring, but it offers an opportunity for Thailand to embrace the future, tapping into the transformative power of Bitcoin and blockchain technology. As the world increasingly moves toward a digital-first economy, Thailand’s decision to integrate Bitcoin into its reserves could serve as a catalyst for long-term growth and innovation, attracting global investment and positioning the nation as a true leader in the digital era. About Acme, Founder of ACET Since 2012, Acme has not only been an avid investor but also the largest Bitcoin holder in Thailand. While the exact number of BItcoins owned by Mr. Worawat has not yet been disclosed, sources from the crypto community estimated he was holding at least 11,000 BTC, more thn twice the amount of Bitcoins held by the Government of El Salvador, which declared Bitcoin as a legal tender in 2021. His commitment to the cryptocurrency ecosystem has shaped him into a thought leader in the space. In 2021, Acme solidified his place in the global fintech arena by launching ACT (ACET), a cryptocurrency coin that now boasts over 150,000 holders worldwide, with a total market value of more than $300 million USD. Acme’s influence extends beyond business. Known for his philanthropy, he has held two record-breaking Bitcoin giveaways, in 2017 and 2021, where he gifted a combined total of 16 Bitcoins (worth over 1.5 million USD at today’s prices) to fans, promoting cryptocurrency education and awareness. His commitment to sharing knowledge and empowering others has made him a household name in Thailand’s crypto community and beyond.

Launch of Demonstration Test for CO2 Capture from Chemical Recovery Boilers at Paper Mills in Japan JCN Newswire

Launch of Demonstration Test for CO2 Capture from Chemical Recovery Boilers at Paper Mills in Japan

November 30, 2024
TOKYO, Nov 29, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Hokuetsu Corporation, one of Japan's leading paper manufacturers, launched a CO2 capture demonstration test at Niigata Mill (Niigata City), in November. This demonstration test aims to capture CO2 from a chemical recovery boiler that produces the steam and electricity needed for paper manufacturing, by using MHI's "CO2MPACT™ Mobile(Note)", a compact CO2 capture system. This is the first case in which MHI's CO2 capture technology is being applied to the pulp and paper industry. This demonstration test will allow MHI to analyze and evaluate data for commercial application and accelerate decarbonization in this industry.Chemical recovery boilers use "black liquor" as their main fuel, which is generated as a by-product in the pulp production process, the raw material for paper. The wood chips are dissolved in a sodium-containing solvent known as "white liquor" to extract the pulp, and the white liquor component is recovered from the black liquor residue that remains after combustion and is re-circulated for reuse.As the need for decarbonization grows around the world, Japan is also actively engaged in decarbonization efforts in various industrial sectors. And the pulp and paper industry is one of them. This demonstration test is expected to provide the pulp and paper industry with a solution that contributes to further global environmental measures by directly capturing CO2 emissions in the production process.MHI Group has formally declared its intent to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, and the Company is now working strategically to decarbonize both the energy demand and supply sides. A core element of the Company's "Energy Transition," which targets decarbonization on the energy supply side, is the development of a CCUS value chain integrating diverse sources of carbon emissions with modes for carbon storage and utilization. Going forward, MHI Group will continue to proactively promote its CCUS business worldwide, applying its proprietary CO2 capture technologies, contributing as a solutions provider to reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale, and developing further solutions that contribute to environmental protection.For details of the "CO2MPACT™" series, see the following press release: www.mhi.com/news/240919.htmlAbout MHI Group's CO2 capture technologiesMHI Group has been developing the KM CDR Process™ (Kansai Mitsubishi Carbon Dioxide Recovery Process) and the Advanced KM CDR Process™ in collaboration with the Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. since 1990. As of November 2024, the Company has delivered 18 plants adopting these processes. The Advanced KM CDR Process™ adopts the KS-21™ solvent, which incorporates technological improvements over the amine-based KS-1™ and offers superior regeneration efficiency and lower deterioration than the KS-1™, and it has been verified to provide excellent energy saving performance, reduce operation costs, and result in low amine emissions.For further information on MHI Group's CO2 capture plants:https://www.mhi.com/products/engineering/co2plants.htmlAbout MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

JAL and NEC Test AI-Powered Carry-On Baggage Analysis Solution JCN Newswire

JAL and NEC Test AI-Powered Carry-On Baggage Analysis Solution

November 30, 2024
TOKYO, Nov 29, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. (JAL) and NEC Corporation (NEC) have jointly conducted a trial of the "NEC Baggage Counting Solution"(1), which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically analyze the quantity and types of carry-on baggage at boarding gates. The solution, a world first(2), enables measures to be taken for carry-on baggage, which is one of the causes of flight delays, aiming to improve on-time performance and ensure smooth boarding.Based on the results of this trial, JAL is exploring methods for implementing the solution in the future.BackgroundExcess cabin baggage can lead to congestion in the aisles as passengers spend extra time storing their items in the overhead bins. It may also result in baggage being transferred to the cargo compartment after boarding has commenced, thereby increasing boarding time and potentially causing flight delays.Overview of the trialConducted from April to September 2024 at Boarding Gate 13 in Terminal 1 of Tokyo International Airport (Haneda), the trial involved evaluating the solution’s analysis accuracy (detection and classification accuracy) and its alert timing for exceeding overhead storage limits to determine its effectiveness.Trial details:1. Cameras installed at the boarding gate capture footage, which is analyzed using AI to detect cabin baggage carried by passengers.2. Detected baggage is classified into predefined categories, and the space each item would occupy in overhead bins is estimated in real time.3. An alert is triggered when the estimated storage capacity reaches a preset threshold.Results and future prospectsThe solution enabled the collection and analysis of data on baggage amounts and alert frequency. This data can be used to develop concrete measures to prevent departure delays due to baggage storage and the reloading of baggage in the cargo compartment.Going forward, JAL will continue utilizing digital technology to ensure smoother boarding, improve punctuality, and optimize the overall customer experience. NEC provides end-to-end services for this kind of digital transformation (DX) through the "NEC BluStellar" value-delivery model. NEC BluStellar transforms business models to address social and business challenges by applying diverse industry insights and world-leading technological expertise to the entire DX process, from customer strategy consultation through implementation.(1)Patent pending.(2)According to NEC research as of November 2024.ShareAbout 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.

部分马萨诸塞州议员希望实施全州首个“世代禁烟令” Latest News

部分马萨诸塞州议员希望实施全州首个“世代禁烟令”

November 29, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - 波士顿——一些马萨诸塞州的立法者希望说服他们的同事支持一项提案，该提案将使该州成为第一个通过旨在逐步淘汰烟草制品使用的禁令的州。 其他地区也考虑过类似的“世代禁烟令”，这些禁令并非仅基于一个人的年龄，而是基于出生年份逐步淘汰烟草制品的使用。 根据马萨诸塞州2018年签署的一项法律，购买任何烟草制品（包括香烟、雪茄和电子烟）的年龄已提高到21岁。马萨诸塞州还禁止销售所有调味烟草制品，以减少年轻人对尼古丁的兴趣。 立法者计划明年提交的新提案将扩大控烟工作，逐步停止所有尼古丁和烟草制品的销售。如果该法案获得批准，未达到法定购买尼古丁和烟草年龄的年轻人将永远无法在马萨诸塞州合法购买它们，从而不再产生新的使用者。 该禁令不适用于大麻，并且将在通过时调整截止日期，以确保届时所有21岁及以上的人都不会受到影响。 第一个实施世代禁烟令的城镇 布鲁克莱恩是波士顿附近的一个拥有大约63,000人口的城镇，是美国第一个在2020年通过此类禁令的城市。该地方法规并没有提高购买香烟的年龄，而是禁止向2000年1月1日或之后出生的人销售烟草。该规定于2021年生效。 这意味着将来在该镇将不允许任何人购买任何烟草制品。这项措施受到了质疑，但该州最高法院在今年早些时候裁定，维持了这项禁令。 马萨诸塞州的其他城市和城镇也已经批准了类似的烟草禁令，包括马尔登、梅尔罗斯、里丁、斯通汉姆、韦克菲尔德和温彻斯特。 支持程度不明 民主党州参议员杰森·刘易斯是这项全州提案的支持者之一，他说这项法案将“挽救无数生命，为下一代创造一个更健康的世界”。 “我们都知道尼古丁和烟草制品对健康，特别是对青少年的健康具有破坏性影响，”他说。 尼古丁和烟草制品会上瘾，并可能增加患肺癌、心脏病、中风和其他疾病的风险。 根据疾病控制与预防中心的数据，近 每天吸烟的成年人第一次吸烟是在18岁之前，该中心还发现，在2024年，大约五分之二曾经使用过烟草制品的青少年目前仍在使用。 新英格兰便利店和能源市场协会执行主任彼得·布伦南表示，这项提案将损害那些依赖香烟销售来维持其大部分收入的小型夫妻店。 它还会使位于允许向所有成年人销售香烟的邻近州附近的商店处于竞争劣势。 “这是一个糟糕的主意，”他说。“你实际上是在剥夺成年人购买合法、受年龄限制的产品的权利。” 他说，剥夺某些成年人的某些权利而不剥夺其他成年人的权利可能是违宪的，并补充说，其他禁令努力并没有奏效，例如过去对酒精、大麻和赌博的禁令。 目前还不清楚这项提案在立法机构中获得了多少支持。 几十年来，马萨诸塞州采取了其他措施来限制吸烟，包括提高香烟税。刘易斯说，逐步实施的全州禁烟令可能会减少并最终取消这些税收，但由此减少的香烟税收入将被降低的医疗成本和其他节省的开支所抵消。 根据该州公共卫生部门的数据，2022年，马萨诸塞州10.4%的成年人报告吸烟。 其他正在考虑类似禁令的地方 一些加州立法者也推动禁止所有烟草销售，去年提交的法案旨在禁止向2007年1月1日之后出生的人销售香烟和其他产品。 2022年，新西兰成为第一个通过法律旨在对年轻人实施终身禁烟的国家，该法律规定，禁止向2009年1月1日或之后出生的人销售烟草。该法律后来…… 在英国，首相里希·苏纳克曾提出每年将英格兰购买香烟的法定年龄提高一年，直到最终对全体人口禁止销售。该提案今年早些时候未能获得批准。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。

(SeaPRwire) - 周四，至少五名来自康涅狄格州的民主党国会议员报告称他们的住所成为炸弹威胁的目标，议员本人或其办公室证实了此事。 参议员克里斯·墨菲和众议员吉姆·海姆斯、乔·考特尼、约翰·拉尔森以及贾哈娜·海耶斯都报告称受到了此类威胁。回应的警方表示，他们在这些议员的房产上没有发现爆炸物。 目前尚不清楚第五位来自该州的民主党众议员罗莎·德劳罗以及康涅狄格州的另一位民主党参议员是否也收到了威胁。 针对民主党人的炸弹威胁发生在总统当选人唐纳德·特朗普的一些最杰出支持者也报告称他们收到了死亡威胁和“恶作剧袭击”之后的一天，在这些袭击中，犯罪者以虚假借口引发对受害者的紧急执法回应。 墨菲的办公室表示，他的哈特福德住宅成为炸弹威胁的目标，“这似乎是一项涉及多名国会议员和公众人物的协调行动”。哈特福德警方和美国国会警察确定没有威胁。 海耶斯表示，沃尔科特警察局周四上午通知她，他们收到了“一封威胁性邮件，称在她家邮箱中放置了一个土制炸弹”。州警察、美国国会警察和众议院警卫长都收到了通知，沃尔科特和州警察进行了回应，“没有发现炸弹或爆炸物”。 考特尼的办公室表示，他的弗农住宅收到了炸弹威胁，当时他的妻子和孩子都在那里。 海姆斯表示，他在与家人一起庆祝感恩节期间被告知针对他住所的威胁。美国国会警察以及格林威治和斯坦福德警察局做出了回应。 海姆斯对当地执法人员迅速采取行动以确保他们的安全表示了“最衷心的感谢”。他与其他受到威胁的立法者一样补充道：“在这个国家，政治暴力没有立足之地，我希望我们都能在节日期间继续保持和平与文明。” 拉尔森周四还表示，东哈特福德警方回应了针对他住所的炸弹威胁。 联邦调查局拒绝透露最新事件的细节，只表示正在与其他机构合作调查此事。 …正在与我们的州和地方合作伙伴合作处理这些问题。目前不会公布进一步的调查细节。” 这些威胁发生在一个以暴力为标志的选举季之后。7月，一名枪手在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒的一次特朗普集会上开枪，擦伤了他的耳朵，并杀害了他的一个支持者。后来，特勤局在特朗普佛罗里达州西棕榈滩的高尔夫球场挫败了一次随后的暗杀企图，当时一名特工发现一支枪的枪管从周边栅栏中伸出来，而特朗普当时正在打高尔夫球。 周三收到威胁的人包括纽约州众议员伊丽莎·斯特凡尼克（特朗普提名担任下一任联合国大使）；马特·盖茨（特朗普最初提名担任司法部长）；俄勒冈州众议员洛里·查韦斯-德雷默（特朗普选择领导劳工部）；以及前纽约州众议员李·泽尔丁（已被任命领导环境保护署）。 —侯赛因在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩报道。美联社记者吉尔·科尔文在纽约对此报道作出了贡献。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。
