感染新冠病毒比接种疫苗更容易引发心脏问题 Latest News

感染新冠病毒比接种疫苗更容易引发心脏问题

(SeaPRwire) - 任何医疗干预都有利弊。对于疫苗接种,在大多数人中,益处远远大于任何潜在的危害。 基于mRNA技术的新的COVID-19疫苗也不例外。但是,与它们相关的风险之一——尤其是对于年轻男性——引起了公众的关注。 一项新的研究表明,在接种COVID-19疫苗后不久发生心肌炎(即心肌炎症,通常是由免疫系统对感染的反应引起的)的风险低于感染COVID-19后可能出现的风险。 由凡尔赛大学流行病学和公共卫生教授马赫穆德·祖雷克博士领导的研究人员,研究了2020年12月至2022年6月期间在法国因心肌炎住院的12至49岁人群,当时大规模疫苗接种活动正在进行。他们将人群分为三组:在接种mRNA疫苗后七天内发生心肌炎并住院的人,在感染COVID-19后30天内住院但此前七天未接种mRNA疫苗的人,或因其他原因导致心肌炎的人。所有参与者都接受了18个月的随访。 在这段时间里,与疫苗相关心肌炎患者再次因心肌炎或心脏相关事件住院的可能性,仅为与感染相关心肌炎或因其他原因导致心肌炎患者的一半。 这些发现表明,与mRNA疫苗相关的发生心肌炎的风险“非常非常低”,祖雷克说。而且,重要的是要记住,COVID-19对心脏的风险“并不局限于心肌炎。还有其他心血管风险。” 随着 在美国 和 的 持续攀升,研究结果具有及时意义。增长的部分原因是新的变异株以及人们从上次疫苗接种获得的针对不同版本的SARS-CoV-2的免疫力减弱。这就是为什么美国食品药品监督管理局最近 了疫苗,以识别当前流行的变异株。但最近的疫苗接种率一直很低。 这项研究并没有深入探讨疫苗为何与心肌炎存在联系——尽管联系很小——,或者为什么免疫系统对疫苗的反应似乎与对COVID-19感染的反应不同。祖雷克说,这可能是因为人们意识到与疫苗相关的潜在心肌炎风险,所以那些接种疫苗后因心肌炎住院的人可能患病更轻。 需要更多研究来更好地了解mRNA疫苗如何与人体的免疫系统相互作用,但这些发现提供了一些信心,即注射疫苗似乎与心脏炎症的风险没有实质性的增加,即使是在免疫接种几个月后。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。

关于 Pavel Durov 的一切:俄罗斯亿万富翁,Telegram 创始人 Latest News

关于 Pavel Durov 的一切:俄罗斯亿万富翁,Telegram 创始人

(SeaPRwire) - Telegram 加密信息服务创始人兼首席执行官帕维尔·杜罗夫(Pavel Durov)今年早些时候曾登上头条,当时 Telegram 的用户数已达到 9 亿,并且即将实现盈利。 现在,这位 39 岁的企业家因另一个原因成为了新闻人物。法国媒体报道称,他于 8 月 24 日星期六被法国警方拘留。据法国海关部门所属的国家反欺诈办公室的调查人员称,法国警方通知杜罗夫他被拘留,据称此次逮捕是基于与 Telegram 上传播非法材料相关的指控。 “Telegram 遵守欧盟法律,包括《数字服务法》——其内容审核符合行业标准并不断改进。Telegram 首席执行官帕维尔·杜罗夫(Pavel Durov)没有什么可隐瞒的,并且经常在欧洲旅行,”Telegram 在发给《时代》杂志的一份电子邮件声明中写道。“声称一个平台或其所有者对该平台的滥用负责是荒谬的。” 巴黎检察官办公室和法国司法部没有回复《时代》杂志的置评请求。 杜罗夫多年来一直是应用程序创建行业的巨头。在 2024 年 4 月与美国保守派政治评论员塔克·卡尔森 (Tucker Carlson) 的一场谈话中,杜罗夫讨论了言论自由对他而言的重要性,以及他创建 Telegram 的原因。 “对我来说,这从来不是关于致富。对我来说,我生活中的所有事情都是为了获得自由,”杜罗夫在迪拜与卡尔森会面时告诉他。“而且,在我力所能及的范围内,我人生的使命是让其他人也获得自由。我希望能利用我们创建的平台,让他们能够表达自己的自由。” 随着公众对杜罗夫的兴趣可能达到了前所未有的高度,这里有一些关于这位商业巨头的信息。 帕维尔·杜罗夫(Pavel Durov)共同创立了加密信息服务 Telegram 和社交媒体平台 VK 据《纽约时报》报道,杜罗夫被称为“俄罗斯的马克·扎克伯格”,他在 2006 年与他人共同创立了俄罗斯社交媒体平台 VKontakte (VK)。 2014 年,杜罗夫辞职,声称他被 VK 的管理层迫使辞职。与此同时,VK 声称他们正在执行杜罗夫先前未被撤回的辞职信。 据报道,杜罗夫在 2014 年逃离俄罗斯,出售了他在 VK 的股份,此前他拒绝配合俄罗斯当局,并提供该应用程序用户加密数据的访问权限。 “这有点痛苦,因为我的第一家公司是我的宝贝,”杜罗夫在 2024 年的采访中告诉卡尔森。“但是,与此同时,我明白我宁愿自由;我不想听任何人的命令。” 2013 年,杜罗夫与他的兄弟尼古拉·杜罗夫 (Nikolai Durov) 共同创立了 Telegram,自那时起,Telegram 的受欢迎程度一直在不断增长。根据 Telegram 的说法,该信息应用程序拥有“Telegram 就像短信和电子邮件的结合——它可以满足您所有个人或商务信息需求。” 在流亡期间,杜罗夫专注于“无国籍”。杜罗夫在 2014 年告诉《纽约时报》:“我现在很高兴,在任何地方都没有财产。”“我认为自己是一个合法的世界公民。” Telegram 从 2018 年到 2022 年被俄罗斯当局屏蔽,原因是 Telegram 拒绝向俄罗斯联邦安全局 (FSB) 提供加密密钥,这些密钥可以访问用户消息数据。 帕维尔·杜罗夫(Pavel Durov)的国籍是什么? 杜罗夫于 1984 年出生于当时的苏联。在他 4 岁时,他的家人搬到了意大利,但在他父亲在圣彼得堡大学获得工作后,他回到了俄罗斯,并最终在圣彼得堡大学接受教育。 杜罗夫在 2018 年获得了法国国籍,但他住在迪拜。他 帕维尔·杜罗夫(Pavel Durov)的净资产是多少? 根据《福布斯》杂志的数据,截至 8 月 25 日,杜罗夫的净资产估计为 155 亿美元。杜罗夫目前在《福布斯》亿万富翁榜上排名第 120 位。 帕维尔·杜罗夫(Pavel Durov)有妻子和孩子吗? 杜罗夫未婚,但据他的《福布斯》简介显示,他与前女友育有 5 个孩子。杜罗夫于 7 月 29 日表示,他通过精子捐赠拥有超过“100 个亲生孩子”。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。

Not only have we continued to invest in research and development (‘R&D’) to develop innovative construction technologies to assure quality, safety and efficiency, and advanced digital, and green and environmental technologies to position us in the growth segments, meet customer needs and create value for the community, we have also broadened our Lifts and Escalators business to include the UK and the United States (‘US’) as well as explored opportunities in other new markets. The results of these efforts are maintaining our industry leadership, helping to navigate the challenges and capture the opportunities in the current business environment, and facilitating our ongoing growth.”Revenue from the Building Services segment grew by 20.8% to HK$2,111 million during the Period, while its contracts-in-hand amounted to HK$5,585 million as at 30 June 2024.

With the recent achievement of significant new projects to provide E&M services, including a Grade A office building in Caroline Hill Road, Causeway Bay, with one of the highest levels of innovative Multi-trade Integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (“MiMEP”) construction technologies for a commercial building, as well as a number of large-scale projects in Macau, the Group currently has large and sustainable contracts-in-hands.

ATAL Tower boasts superior infrastructure that will enable us to better serve customers and partners while also providing a pleasant work environment to enhance our productivity and collaboration,” added Dr Mak.The Group remains cautiously optimistic about the business outlook, given the strong contracts-in-hand, its leadership position in growth segments, and its strong tendering pipeline. Its continuous success in securing new business opportunities and winning contracts augers well for remaining competitive in the industry and growing its revenue, customer base and market reach. The Hong Kong SAR Government’s planned annual capital works expenditure of about HK$90 billion presents significant opportunities for the Group.

New Technology for Redacting Digitally Signed Documents, Developed Jointly by Hitachi and AIST, Has Been Adopted as an ISO/IEC International Standard JCN Newswire

New Technology for Redacting Digitally Signed Documents, Developed Jointly by Hitachi and AIST, Has Been Adopted as an ISO/IEC International Standard

TOKYO, Aug 26, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501, "Hitachi") and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (“AIST”) today announced that their jointly developed technology for redacting digitally signed documents (“redactable signature” technology) has passed final approval by the Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), gaining adoption in international standard ISO/IEC 23264-2. The two newly standardized schemes provide means for ensuring the authenticity (absence of falsification) of digitally signed documents when they are made public in partially redacted form.The redactable signature schemes use digital technology to realize partial disclosure of documents while enabling detection of unauthorized alteration or falsification. The two newly standardized schemes provide an efficient means for partial disclosure of public documents, while enabling the authenticity of data related to product development, in fields such as pharmaceuticals and finance, to be guaranteed, without loss of data use convenience, even when adocument has undergone sanitization (anonymization) for privacy protection reasons. They are thus expected to contribute toward a safe data-utilization society.Background to the StandardizationNow that digital technology has come into wide use, proceedings that used to involve printed documents are being replaced by digital processes, giving all the more importance to digitalsignature technology able to detect data alterations or falsification and guarantee data authenticity. As a current way ofofficial document management, it is sometimes necessary to redact (erase or blank out) certain information for privacy or other reasons before publication or disclosure. With conventional digital signing technology, however, the act ofredaction itself is regarded as falsification, invalidating the digital signature and making it difficult to guarantee the authenticity of a redacted document.In addressing this issue, ISO/IEC JTC 1*1 drew up international standard ISO/IEC 23264, “Information security—Redaction of authentic data” relating to the application of digital signature technology, with its expanding uses. To promote this standardization, Hitachi and AIST, starting some twenty years earlier, engaged in pioneering research anddevelopment on a digital signature technology for realizing redaction of documents by digital means (redactable signature technology). As a result of this joint development, two redactable signature schemes (MHI06 and MIMSYTI05) were adopted in international standard ISO/IEC 23264-2.Features of the Standardized TechnologyUsing the redactable signature schemes, a signer can set redactable data blocks in advance at the time of creating adocument and set each block as either disclosable or non-disclosable before public release. Moreover, the digital signature applied when a document is created can be used to verify a document that is partially non-disclosable, and to confirm that the document has undergone only legitimate editing. Furthermore, the redactable signature schemes adopted in the new ISO/IEC 23264-2 standard each have different additional security properties; and in the case of MHI06 and MIMSYTI05 jointly developed by Hitachi and AIST, both have the property of allowing documents to be edited multiple times and are able to control the disclosure scope divided into multiple levels.MHI06 has the property of enabling multiple signed documents or data to be merged, within the scope specified in advance (Mergeability), and enabling the information in redacted fields to be hidden (Undetectability of redactions). This scheme is suited to uses in which the scope of signed data to disclose should be dynamically and efficiently changed, depending on the privacy protection policy and status.MIMSYTI05 can add redactable signature functionality using any kind of digital signing method. It can be combined not only with such methods as RSA signature*2 or ECDSA*3 but also with quantum-safe signature methods. In addition, this scheme is suited to applications where documents are sorted by whether they contain redactions since it can detect the fact of redactions.Looking AheadThe redactable signature schemes were initially developed as digital technology for protection of public documents but are expected to find wider application not limited to that purpose, including for verification of the originality of partially released data. By combining this technology with sanitization technology, for example, it is expected to find wide use as technology achieving both privacy protection and data authentication. Hitachi and AIST will continue engaging in research and development on redactable signature and other cryptographic technologies, along with promoting their implementation in products and services, thereby contributing to realization of a safe digital society.(1) ISO/IEC JTC 1: JTC 1: Joint Technical Committee 1 of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)(2) RSA signature: A digital signature method relying for its security on the difficulty of integer factorization problem(3) ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm): A digital signature method relying for its security on the difficulty of the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problemAbout Hitachi, Ltd.Hitachi drives Social Innovation Business, creating a sustainable society through the use of data and technology.
