Hitachi High-Tech Launches DCR Etch System 9060 Series, Supporting Isotropic Etching of Advanced 3D Devices at the Atomic Level JCN Newswire

Hitachi High-Tech Launches DCR Etch System 9060 Series, Supporting Isotropic Etching of Advanced 3D Devices at the Atomic Level

TOKYO, Nov 28, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi High-Tech Corporation ("Hitachi High-Tech") announced today the launch of its DCR(1) Etch System 9060Series. This system, which leverages Hitachi High-Tech's plasma etching(2) technology and expertise, has been developed to achieve precise control over the horizontal (isotropic) etching process in dry environments, aimed at applications such as the high-aspect(3) three-dimensional structures used in advanced semiconductor devices.With the 9060 Series, Hitachi High-Tech will support manufacturing process advancements for cutting-edge semiconductor devices, which are becoming increasingly minute and more complex, and will help customers toovercome the challenges they face, from R&D through to mass production.Product Development BackgroundSemiconductor devices have become increasingly miniaturized over the past half century and beyond, with the processing dimensions of integrated circuits now at nanometric levels. This, in turn, necessitates controllability over the etching process at the atomic-layer (angstrom) level. In addition, the likes of 3D-NAND(4) and 3D-DRAM*5structures are used for semiconductor memory devices to improve density by making the elemental structure three- dimensional. As a result, the dry etching process used to manufacture semiconductor memory devices requires isotropic (horizontal, even) etching, which is precisely controlled at the atomic-layer level, in addition to conventional anisotropic (vertical) etching.The 9060 Series maintains the low-damage, high-precision plasma etching technology cultivated by Hitachi High-Tech over many years while achieving isotropic etching at the atomic-layer level, thereby helping our customers whomanufacture advanced semiconductors with highly integrated three-dimensional structures by shortening development periods, reducing costs, and improving productivity.Key Features1. Achieves high throughput processing and low equipment footprint*6Typically, when performing isotropic etching in dry environments, it is necessary to alternate between low temperatures for adsorption of radicals*7 and high temperatures for thermal desorption, which means time is requiredfor heating and cooling. To resolve this problem, the 9060 Series incorporates a unique wafer-cooling mechanism andinfrared lamp within a single vacuum reactor, enabling the temperature of the wafer being etched to quickly alternate between low and high temperatures. This enables high-throughput isotropic etching of various materials and lowers the footprint of the equipment.2. Achieves high-precision isotropic processingIn addition to isotropic processing through heating and cooling via the wafer-cooling mechanism and infrared lamp, the system also utilizes plasma etching technology—one of Hitachi High-Tech's strengths—to achieve isotropic processing with high surface reaction speed and highly precise control. This makes it possible to control the shape of the openings and bottom of the wafer pattern at the atomic level, which is essential to fabricate detailed three-dimensional structures.With the 9060 Series as well as our other high-performance etch systems and technology, Hitachi High-Tech iscontinuing to respond to our customers' various manufacturing needs for the development and mass production of semiconductor devices.We will continue to provide innovative and digitally enhanced solutions to our products for the upcoming technology challenges, and create new value together with our customers, as well as contributing to cutting-edge manufacturing.(1) DCR (dry chemical removal): A method used to advance both vertical and horizontal etching by utilizing chemical reactions in a dry environment.(2) Plasma etching: A technique used to fabricate detailed patterns using ions and chemical reactions by separating gases in a vacuum chamber.(3) High-aspect: Generally, refers to the aspect ratio of a rectangle. Here, it refers to the ratio of depth to width (depth/width) of patterns to be etched on wafers. A high aspect means this ratio is a high value, which makes it very difficult to manufacture and measure.(4) 3D-NAND structure: A type of non-volatile flash memory. Refers to a NAND flash memory in which memory cells are arranged vertically as well as horizontally to increase storage density.(5) 3D-DRAM structure: A type of volatile memory. A structure in which bits are stored vertically to achieve high density.(6) Footprint: The amount of space taken up by a piece of equipment.(7) Radical: An atom or molecule with unpaired electrons. Characterized by high reactivity.About Hitachi High-TechHitachi High-Tech, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is engaged in activities in a broad range of fields, including manufacture 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.

Survey: New Opportunities in Cross-border E-commerce

HONG KONG, Nov 27, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation (HKECIC) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly released a research study today, titled "Unleashing the Lucrative Potential of Cross-border E-commerce for Hong Kong Traders". The study revealed that 90% of surveyed companies anticipated that cross-border e-commerce could drive significant sales growth in the business in the next two years. However, the market-related challenges continue to persist, including intense market competition, complex customs clearance procedures and the management of returns and refunds. In light of these challenges, experts recommend developing appropriate online marketing and sales strategies, enhancing risk management and adopting efficient logistics and delivery practices to better seize the opportunities presented by cross-border e-commerce.Mr Terence Chiu, Commissioner of HKECIC, said, “The joint research study of the HKECIC and the HKTDC helps the industry in gaining deeper understanding of the latest development in expanding cross-border e-commerce, as well as outlining the challenges faced by businesses and the support they needed. While cross-border e-commerce has seen a significant growth in recent years, the study highlighted that the market remains highly competitive, and the ecosystem and related infrastructure still require further improvement. In addition, many e-commerce businesses have limited assets and insufficient collateral to secure financing from traditional banks and financial institutions, reflecting the ongoing challenges in the e-commerce environment. This year, the HKECIC has collaborated with a fintech and a reinsurance company, and also a bank to develop bespoke trade credit insurance solutions, aiming to provide coverage for trade loans to Hong Kong e-commerce businesses. These initiatives encourage and support local enterprises in securing trade financing and expanding into cross-border e-commerce. The HKECIC will actively seek collaboration with more financial institutions, in line with the 2024 Policy Address, to better support Hong Kong businesses in securing e-commerce export financing. By leveraging its expertise in trade credit insurance and risk management, the HKECIC is dedicated to assisting Hong Kong businesses in maintaining their competitive edge, helping them explore new overseas markets, mitigate trade risks and reduce operating costs.”Dr Patrick Lau, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said, “E-commerce has become a key driver of the global economy. The World Bank estimates that global B2C e-commerce sales will reach US$6 trillion by 2024, with Mainland China leading the way – over a quarter of retail consumer goods sales occur online. In collaboration with the HKECIC, the study aims to help Hong Kong businesses explore new markets and seize opportunities. The HKTDC will continue to support local companies in engaging with e-commerce and taking advantage of growth opportunities on the global stage.”From June to August 2024, the HKECIC and the HKTDC conducted phone and online interviews with 352 local trade and manufacturing companies to assess the development of Hong Kong companies’ cross-border e-commerce operations, while also detailing the challenges they face and identifying the support services they require.Driving significant sales growth in the next two yearsAs network technology has become more widespread, while electronic payment services are now ubiquitous and e-commerce platforms have come to offer an ever-expanding range of services, even new entrants and smaller businesses can easily develop cross-border e-commerce operations on a global basis. 90.0% of surveyed companies anticipated that cross-border e-commerce could raise their total sales revenue in the next two years.The surveyed companies in general indicated that cross-border e-commerce positively impacts their expansion plans whether via broader sales channels (69.0%), new market opportunities (50.3%), or enhanced brand awareness (48.9%).Reaching out to global markets: Focusing on the Mainland and ASEANHKTDC Principal Economist Wing Chu, who led the study, said, “The scope of cross-border e-commerce business for Hong Kong companies spans all parts of the world, covering markets, such as Mainland China (75.2%), ASEAN (53.0%), the US (42.2%), Japan (30.9%) and the EU (30.0%). Looking ahead, respondents generally agreed that, for the next two years, Mainland China (61.6%) and ASEAN (44.3%) offer the greatest growth potential. The surveyed companies generally hope to make use of risk management to meet market competitiveness and the challenges outlined, such as insurance for cargo transportation or payments (39.8%), e-commerce promotion (34.4%) and logistics services for both delivery and product returns (33.5%).”Coping with online and offline challengesCross-border e-commerce operators must confront a variety of practical issues relating to both online and offline procedures, including goods delivery, platform charges, exchange rates and refunds as well as market, regulation and financing issues.Of the companies surveyed, 38.4% said that customs clearance procedures in Mainland China and foreign markets are complex, with 31.3% indicating that product returns involve complicated procedures and / high costs, and 29.8% finding it difficult to manage practical issues, such as the international delivery of small orders.Regarding the issues of platform charges, exchange rates and refunds, the high commission rates charged by third-party e-commerce platforms and long payment periods were identified as challenges by 51.1% of respondents. Meanwhile, 46.6% said fluctuating exchange rates or high exchange costs were problems they faced during their cross-border e-commerce operations. 28.4% were concerned about the expansive costs about refund policy.In addition, companies must contend with a wide range of difficulties. Majority of the surveyed companies (84.9%) noted that developing cross-border e-commerce presented market-related challenges, such as keen market competition. Meanwhile, 54% indicated regulatory issues, and 41.2% encountered financial challenges.Leveraging Hong Kong's advantages to unlock global e-commerce opportunitiesIn addition to the questionnaire, HKTDC also interviewed a number of companies engaged in cross-border e-commerce or related businesses. According to expert’s opinion, though the mainland market is huge in scale, the competition is keen. Overseas opportunities abound, such as the advanced economies of Europe and America have mature online shopping markets and e-commerce markets in Southeast Asia.In addition, online sales strategies tailored to target markets are of prime importance, including the collaboration with KOL or influencers and using short-form videos to attract consumers.The study also highlighted Hong Kong's excellent logistics capabilities and extensive air cargo network as well as its well-developed financial markets and diverse financing services, which are well-suited to meeting the financial needs of e-commerce. Meanwhile, Hong Kong serves as an ideal gateway for foreign products entering Mainland China, with the Hong Kong brand enjoying a competitive edge in the region.Photo download: https://bit.ly/3Bb95BADr Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC (left) and Terence Chiu, Commissioner, HKECIC (right)Dr Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC (second left); Terence Chiu, Commissioner, HKECIC (second right); Wing Chu, Principal Economist, HKTDC (first left); and Cynthia Chin, General Manager, HKECIC (first right)References- HKTDC Research Portal https://research.hktdc.com/en- Unleashing the Lucrative Potential of Cross-border E-commerce for Hong Kong Traders https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTg1OTQ2Mzk3MwAbout HKECICThe HKECIC was established in 1966 under the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation Ordinance (Chapter 1115).

黎以停火能持续吗? Latest News

黎以停火能持续吗?

(SeaPRwire) - 拉贾(Raja’a)是一位来自黎巴嫩南部,63岁的流离失所的寡妇,她一直在祈祷停火协议能够结束伊朗支持的真主党武装组织和以色列之间的冲突。迄今为止,这场冲突已造成数千人丧生和受伤。随着黎巴嫩山区冬季的来临,拉贾(她的名字意思是希望)变得更加绝望。她的电话变得越来越频繁。“菲拉斯(Firas)亲爱的,你认为和平即将到来吗?我冷。” 黎巴嫩签署的由美国牵头的停火协议以及以色列战时内阁的批准,与真主党在其2006年与以色列上次主要战争后宣称的任何“神圣胜利”都相去甚远。该协议表明,该组织将需要将其重型武器撤出黎巴嫩南部,这是以色列的一个关键要求。该协议还建立了一个由美国领导的监测和执法机制,以核实撤军情况,并防止伊朗补充该组织历史上强大的武器库。 但是,美国的监督和保证会给这个动荡的地区带来持久的稳定吗?还是它将仅仅是战争之间又一次的间歇,因为真主党在其武器库得到补充后重新集结? 以色列对此表示怀疑。结束2006年战争的安排,即联合国安理会第1701号决议,在很大程度上并未得到执行。在其后,真主党在伊朗为其提供弹道导弹和精确制导武器的同时,联合国维和人员和黎巴嫩武装部队睁一只眼闭一只眼,真主党的力量呈指数级增长。 为了解决这些担忧,据报道,美国已向以色列提供了一份安全保证,同意继续对黎巴嫩进行空中侦察,以及如果监测和执法机制失效,特拉维夫有权打击新出现的威胁。以色列高级官员私下告诉他们的美国同行:“如果机制做得更多,我们将做得更少,但如果它最终做得更少,我们将不得不做得更多。” 但是,如果没有贝鲁特一个愿意且有能力的伙伴——一个准备与国际社会合作扩大国家主权、加强边境管制和遏制真主党剩余军事力量的黎巴嫩政府——华盛顿的保证和美国领导的监测机制也只能做这么多。 黎巴嫩军队是在一个本来就多元化和宗派化的国家中最受尊敬的机构。但如果没有一个具有主权意识的总统发出的政治指令,它就不能成为所需的伙伴。即使黎巴嫩的冲突结束,如果没有一个改革派政府——一个不再同意真主党以抵抗以色列为名挥舞武器的政府——该国就不可能与国际捐助者合作,承担重建的艰巨任务。 领导停火谈判的富有魅力的美国特使阿莫斯·霍赫施泰因(Amos Hochstein)在很大程度上回避了黎巴嫩陈旧的内部事务和次日的问题。需要做更多的事情,不仅是为了重启贝鲁特停滞的政治进程,而且是为了防止黎巴嫩像上次真主党与以色列的主要战争之后那样再次滑入内乱。2008年,真主党对试图限制其权力的黎巴嫩政府发动了袭击。 黎巴嫩是一个需要积极管理才能取得任何持续进展的国家。在华盛顿完全被明年的1月大选占据之前,霍赫施泰因最好争取法国和沙特阿拉伯的帮助,这两个国家的美国伙伴传统上在黎巴嫩拥有重大影响力,并且在调解争吵不休的黎巴嫩各方之间拥有悠久的经验。 在霍赫施泰因以牺牲法国外交为代价,维护美国对其前保护国的领导地位之际,法国一直勉强地旁观。但在未来几天,随着枪声最终停止,霍赫施泰因应该支持巴黎,并鼓励它与不同的黎巴嫩派别恢复谈判,以结束多年来使国家机构瘫痪并使黎巴嫩人民陷入困境的政治僵局。 [video id=QgU9Pyjj] 在1990年结束黎巴嫩15年内战的谈判中发挥主办和调解作用的沙特阿拉伯也一直袖手旁观,放弃在黎巴嫩的角色,专注于本国的经济发展。但他们现在也有兴趣加紧努力,意识到他们对区域一体化和经济繁荣的愿景的进展将取决于黎巴嫩和加沙的持久停火。 沙特和法国都与伊朗保持着务实,尽管仍然很大程度上是敌对的,关系。这对于围绕一个规模缩小但仍然重要的真主党组织的政治将至关重要。 当法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙(Emanuel Macron)对沙特阿拉伯进行国事访问时,他应该建议在美、法、沙三国的主持下,共同主办黎巴嫩领导人的战后全国对话,以重启贝鲁特停滞的政治,并为重建所需的数十亿美元资金设定明确条件。随着特朗普明年重返总统职位,任命一位有能力的继任者接替霍赫施泰因与各方合作,这应该成为一项外交政策优先事项。 意大利政治哲学家安东尼奥·葛兰西(Antonio Gramsci)曾警告说,当旧事物消亡而新事物尚未诞生时,在过渡时期会出现各种各样的病态症状。如果贝鲁特无人照管,我们必须警惕备受期待的以黎停火之后可能发生的事情。 如果像拉贾(对我来说就像第二位母亲)这样的数百万人回到支离破碎的村庄,没有重建的前景,也没有体面生活的希望,那么霍赫施泰因的停火协议将不会持续很长时间。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。

新规允许艾滋病毒感染者进行器官移植 Latest News

新规允许艾滋病毒感染者进行器官移植

(SeaPRwire) - 根据美国卫生官员周二宣布的一项新规,艾滋病毒感染者如果需要肾脏或肝脏移植,将能够接受移植。 此前,这只能作为研究的一部分进行。这项新规将于周三生效,预计将缩短所有人的等待时间,无论其艾滋病毒感染状态如何,因为可用的器官数量增加了。 “这项规章消除了肾脏和肝脏移植的不必要障碍,扩大了器官捐献者库,并改善了艾滋病毒感染的移植受者疗效,”美国卫生与公众服务部部长泽维尔·贝塞拉在一份声明中说。 这项实践的安全性得到了研究的支持,包括上个月发表在《新英格兰医学杂志》上的一项研究。该研究对198名器官受者进行了长达四年的跟踪观察,将接受艾滋病毒阳性捐献者肾脏的受者与接受艾滋病毒阴性捐献者肾脏的受者进行了比较。两组的总体存活率都相似且很高,器官排斥率都较低。 2010年,南非的外科医生首次提供了证据,证明在艾滋病毒感染者中使用艾滋病毒阳性捐献者的器官是安全的。但直到2013年,美国政府取消禁令并允许进行研究后,这项做法才在美国被允许。 最初,研究对象是已故捐献者。然后在2019年,巴尔的摩约翰·霍普金斯大学的一个团队对艾滋病毒阳性接受者进行了世界上第一次活体器官移植。 总共,美国已经进行了500例来自艾滋病毒阳性捐献者的肾脏和肝脏移植。 ___ 美联社健康与科学部得到霍华德·休斯医学研究所科学与教育媒体集团的支持。美联社对所有内容负全部责任。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) - 1997年,我们在楠塔基特岛买下了一家家庭餐厅和一家体育酒吧。我们以我们的宠物猪帕德利的名字命名了它,我们希望把它打造成一个低调的社区场所,让所有背景的人都可以在那里为红袜队、爱国者队和棕熊队加油助威。大多数人知道这个岛屿是富人和名人来放松身心的场所。我们爱上楠塔基特岛是因为当地人互相支持和扶持,我们想成为这个项目的一部分。拥有餐厅似乎是一项艰巨的任务,但岛上的朋友们帮助我们找到了筹集资金和获得贷款的方法。因此,作为餐厅老板,我们长期以来一直致力于为他人提供同样的尊重和支持,这意味着我们平等对待所有顾客——无论是建筑工人、首席执行官,甚至是美国总统。 我们与拜登家族的旅程始于26年前,就在我们开业一年后,我们接到一个电话,询问我们是否可以做外卖。由此开始了一段关系,这段关系将我们带进了椭圆形办公室和西翼,并带到了空军一号的停机坪上。在过去的二十年中,发生了很多变化,这位顾客从参议员变成了副总统,再到总司令。安保措施加强了;媒体采访请求也增加了。但有一点没有改变:我们与一位脚踏实地的家庭成员的关系,他一进房间就流露出平静和善良。这提醒我们,政治可能是卑鄙的、恶毒的和分裂的,但人际关系可以超越这种消极性。 乔·拜登重视的是人,而不是地位——即使他步步高升,这些价值观也一直保持不变。拜登家族自1975年以来几乎每年都来楠塔基特岛。他们拥抱岛屿社区,在十一月份,这主要意味着蓝领当地人。总统甚至参加了像“冷火鸡跳水”这样的活动,为当地图书馆筹款。我们也参与其中,烹制传统的菜肴,如火鸡和馅料,并应要求添加龙虾。拜登参议员成为了一位尊贵的顾客,而当他成为副总统时,这一点并没有改变。有一年,他直接从后门走进来,给我们送来一件纪念品(他戴着一顶印有副总统印章的帽子),就像当地渔民送来新鲜捕捞的扇贝一样。我们朴实的家庭式烹饪并没有带来地位,但它带来了稳定性和与公众视线之外的脚踏实地社区的联系。 作为餐厅老板,我们知道勤劳的员工的重要性。服务员、厨师和洗碗工都在我们的运营中扮演着不可或缺的角色,没有他们我们就无法开门营业。我们了解到,政治也是如此。拜登成为副总统后,我们欢迎数百名特勤人员来到我们的餐厅,通过外卖和堂食的方式招待他们。我们总是可以通过他们无可挑剔的礼仪来识别他们。他们善良、有礼貌,而且总是心存感激。那些为我们提供在飞机停机坪上打招呼、参观白宫甚至参加一年一度的复活节彩蛋滚动的机会的人也是如此。拜登总统承诺如果我们访问国会大厦,他会回报我们的热情好客,他的工作人员也做到了。 在楠塔基特岛经营一家成功的全年餐厅需要与当地社区建立关系。感到安全、受到支持和欢迎的顾客会回来。他们会带着他们的孩子和朋友来。他们会举办生日派对和婚礼招待会。真诚和善良是好的生意。政治也可能是如此。自从我们第一次遇到拜登一家以来,我们每年都会接到感恩节外卖晚餐的电话。有一次,在爱荷华州党团会议期间,当拜登准备竞选总统时,我们接到了吉尔·拜登博士的电话,她告诉我们那一年他们不能来楠塔基特岛了。当他成为总统时,我们必须主动记住称呼他为“总统先生”,因为对我们来说,他一直只是“乔”。每年,都会收到一封手写的信或签名的照片,上面写着个人的提醒,他可能居住在白宫,但我们已经认识了几十年了。 此外,我们了解到,拜登的真实性,有时在他即兴演讲或与记者开玩笑时可能会显得有点脱稿,既不是表演也不是错误。这就是他本来的样子。在我们私下谈话和公开场合中的相似之处和一致性令人震惊。当我们在电视上看到他热情地为一项政策辩护时,我们看到了与他与我们员工合影时一样的笑容和助人为乐的愿望。 也许结论是,政治不必充满对抗。它可以是在地方层面建立关系和社区。当拜登总统在白宫时,我们知道,至少对我们来说,他树立的人际交往力量的榜样将永远是他遗产的关键部分。 我们不是党派人士。但由于我们工作的性质,我们有幸亲眼目睹了这个国家最有权力的政治办公室。通过它,我们对这个办公室更加尊重——并对政府官员能够为像我们这样的普通人做善事的能力心存感激。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。

欧盟高级外交官称以色列拒绝黎巴嫩停火“毫无借口” Latest News

欧盟高级外交官称以色列拒绝黎巴嫩停火“毫无借口”

(SeaPRwire) - 意大利菲尤吉——欧盟外交政策高级代表周二表示,以色列拒绝与黎巴嫩真主党停火“没有任何借口”,称美国和法国促成的协议已经解决了以色列的所有安全担忧。 欧盟外交政策高级代表何塞普·博雷利呼吁对以色列施加更大压力,以制止政府中拒绝接受该协议的极端分子。博雷利在意大利七国集团会议期间表示,如果停火没有实施,“黎巴嫩将会崩溃”。 以色列官员表示,内塔尼亚胡总理的安全内阁定于周二举行会议,讨论拟议的停火协议。 以色列提出的唯一剩余要求是保留在真主党违反协议义务时采取行动的权利。 博雷利表示,根据拟议协议,美国将主持停火执行委员会,法国应黎巴嫩的要求也将参与。 “关于美国和法国促成的协议提案,以色列的所有安全担忧都得到了解决,”博雷利在意大利菲尤吉对记者说。“没有理由不执行停火。否则,黎巴嫩将会崩溃。” 继2023年10月哈马斯袭击以色列之后,以色列和伊朗支持的真主党之间持续数月的反复冲突在最近几个月升级为全面战争,以色列杀死了真主党的主要领导人,并将地面部队派往黎巴嫩南部。 据黎巴嫩卫生部统计,以色列的轰炸已造成黎巴嫩3500多人死亡,15000多人受伤。在以色列方面,约有90名士兵和近50名平民死于以色列北部和黎巴嫩地面战斗中的火箭弹、无人机和导弹袭击。 七国集团世界主要工业化国家外长会议(拜登政府的最后一次会议)周一主要讨论了加沙和黎巴嫩的中东战争。七国集团外长与“阿拉伯五国”(沙特阿拉伯、约旦、埃及、卡塔尔和阿拉伯联合酋长国)外长共同出席了会议。 博雷利(其任期将于12月1日结束)表示,他向七国集团和阿拉伯部长建议,联合国安全理事会应通过一项决议,特别要求向加沙的巴勒斯坦人提供人道主义援助,称那里的物资运送已被完全阻挠。 他说:“两国解决方案会晚一些。一切都会晚一些。但我们说的是几周或几天,”对于绝望的巴勒斯坦人来说。“饥饿被用作对抗完全被抛弃的人民的武器。” 这是国际刑事法院在其对内塔尼亚胡及其前国防部长发布的逮捕令中提出的主要指控。以色列愤怒地否认了这些指控,称其为反犹太主义和恐怖主义的胜利,并表示这些指控未能承认以色列自卫的权利。 博雷利表示,包括七国集团七个成员中的六个在内的国际刑事法院签署国有义务根据国际法尊重和执行法院的决定。美国不是该法院的缔约国,并称逮捕令“令人震惊”。 意大利作为东道国在最后一刻将国际刑事法院的逮捕令列入七国集团议程,但由于美国(以色列最亲密的盟友)的立场,七国集团对如何回应没有达成共识。 意大利也表示尊重法院,但表示担心逮捕令具有政治动机,并且鉴于内塔尼亚胡对于结束加沙和黎巴嫩冲突的任何协议都是必要的,因此这样做是不明智的。 “不管你喜不喜欢,国际刑事法院是一个与任何国家法院一样强大的法院,”博雷利说。“如果欧洲人不支持国际刑事法院,那么就不会有任何希望获得正义。” 虽然七国集团会议周一主要讨论的是中东冲突,但周二的注意力转向了乌克兰。乌克兰外长德米特罗·库列巴出席会议,并向部长们通报了俄罗斯对乌克兰能源基础设施的袭击情况,意大利外长安东尼奥·塔亚尼说。 塔亚尼在周二会议开始时对部长们说:“我们要再次公开地表达意大利和七国集团的声援。“对基辅的支持是优先事项。” 自2022年2月俄罗斯全面入侵以来,七国集团一直站在向乌克兰提供军事和经济支持的最前沿,七国集团成员尤其担心特朗普政府将如何改变美国的做法。 特朗普批评拜登政府向乌克兰投入数十亿美元,并表示他可以在24小时内结束战争,这些言论似乎表明他会向乌克兰施压,要求其放弃俄罗斯目前占领的领土。 自从俄罗斯上周对乌克兰发动袭击以来,紧张局势进一步加剧, 这升级了持续近33个月的战争。俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京表示,此次袭击是对基辅使用 能够袭击俄罗斯更深处领土的武器的报复。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。 ```

反对特朗普的声势已不如以往 Latest News

反对特朗普的声势已不如以往

(SeaPRwire) - 本文是《时代》政治通讯《华盛顿简报》的一部分。注册 以便将此类文章发送到您的收件箱。 大约八年前的这个时候,人们花费了大量时间来拼凑最终被称为 的东西。随着美国——实际上全世界——开始了解即将上任的特朗普政府的计划,一个由不同人士组成的不太可能的合作团体——女权主义者、科学家、移民活动家、传统共和党人——在他们共同的恐惧感中找到了共同点。在唐纳德·特朗普总统就职的第一天,这个联合体以全国性的 做出了回应,这在此之前是史无前例的。 现在,面对第二波特朗普主义,这种集体 的声音似乎相当低沉。 不再是本季的必备品。社区组织仍然有效,但几乎没有成为潮流。将那些最担心特朗普如何破坏 、实施潜在 的或破坏美国全球地位的人团结在一起的交叉性从未如此脆弱。周一特别检察官杰克·史密斯撤销对特朗普的两项联邦案件的消息,几乎只引起人们不屑一顾的耸肩。 特朗普的批评者并没有计划在1月20日以沉默来迎接他的第二次就职典礼,但总体回应这次可能会更加沉闷。妇女游行将于1月18日在华盛顿举行 支持者集会。牧师阿尔·夏普顿 正在举行他自己的集会,与特朗普的就职典礼竞争。然而,很难想象任何反向编程能够产生如此大的影响——或者对许多人感觉像是不可避免的特朗普浪潮产生任何影响。 从某种意义上说,在那些之前最积极试图阻止特朗普的人中间,围绕着特朗普回归有一种普遍的不可避免的沉闷感。缺乏热情是最近竞选活动中最被低估的方面之一。《时代》杂志的夏洛特·奥尔特早在三月份——三月份!——就将其称为 。总统乔·拜登的 和仓促 提名连任并没有多少改善这种情况,尽管人们对卡马拉·哈里斯提升的 增加了民主党和反特朗普共和党人的希望。然而,到了选举日,人们集体渴望知道结果会怎样 。 众所周知,特朗普——在大多数人口统计数据中都提高了他的地位,在 中以微弱优势赢得了比19世纪以来几乎任何选举都更接近的普选票数。民主党 正在进行中,党内精英和普通党员都在 寻找前进的道路 ,而我们其他人只是在观望。即将上任的共和党政府将在未来四年执政,至少在最初的两年内将拥有对国会微弱的控制权。 特朗普批评者中那种倦怠的辞职情绪并非你想象出来的。皮尤研究中心上周末进行的民调 发现,大部分美国人大体上已经准备好迎接特朗普2.0。根据皮尤民调显示,大约一半的美国人(53%)表示他们赞成当选总统的计划,而反对者比例较小,为46%。虽然只有41%的美国人认为特朗普能够团结国家,45%的人表示他们信任他在堕胎政策上的立场,但他通过在经济方面获得59%的支持率和在移民问题上获得53%的支持率来弥补这一点。只有可怜的42%的美国人认为他诚实,37%的人认为他脾气温和,34%的人认为他是一个榜样。 简单地说:美国人并不一定喜欢特朗普,但至少目前,在总统的权力职务方面,他们将给他以信任。多达68%的美国人告诉皮尤研究中心,他们对特朗普的获胜并不感到惊讶,其中包括58%的民主党人。 数据还显示,对他的恶感有所缓和。在他2016年获胜后,只有36%的美国人表示他们对他的感觉良好。在他2020年落败后,这一数字下降到34%。如今,根据皮尤研究中心的模型,这一数字上升到了43%。 此外,Morning Consult的一项民调显示,大约三分之一(32%)的选民用“精疲力尽”来准确描述他们在特朗普获胜后的情绪。在女性中——这是最近大多数反对特朗普抗议活动的动力——这一数字达到38%。在民主党人中,这一数字超过54%。 所有这些都解释了为什么“抵抗运动”背后的火焰现在稍微有些减弱,即使特朗普承诺将比第一次更积极地推动他的议程。虽然像 、 和 这样的团体仍在努力坚持到底, 是真实存在的。像公共服务伙伴关系这样的良好政府组织正在试图 坚持规范和标准,但在特朗普即将上任的一系列 面前,这有时让人感觉像是徒劳之举。 诚然,大选后的这段时期是政治上的一个平淡时刻。大选季最严重的威胁都避免了;街头的抗议活动从未发生,关于选票的暴力冲突也没有发生,否认让位于事实。在这个过渡时期,很难激起并维持八年前的紧迫感——特别是考虑到该国已经看到特朗普是如何破坏规范、兑现竞选承诺以及 他的反对者而无需考虑 的。在数百万为这一切即将发生而做准备的美国人中,大多数人只是太累了,无法再次激起愤怒。 理解华盛顿最重要的事情。。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。

尽管乘用电动汽车销量放缓,但印度领先企业表示,商用电动汽车却快速增长 Finance

尽管乘用电动汽车销量放缓,但印度领先企业表示,商用电动汽车却快速增长

(SeaPRwire) - 台北, 2024年11月25日 — 根据科技媒体的新闻报道,印度电动汽车(EV)市场呈现出对比鲜明的趋势:乘用车EV销量下降,而商用车领域却快速增长。近期数据显示,2024年9月乘用车EV销量同比下降9%,创下19个月来的最低点。 相比之下,电动三轮货车越来越受欢迎,上个月该细分市场45%的销量为电动车,Magenta Mobility创始人兼董事总经理Maxson Lewis预测这一比例很快将超过50%。 Lewis表示:“电动汽车的真正应用正在货运领域发生,”他强调了该领域推动印度电气化的潜力。这一转变突显出,尽管乘用车市场面临挑战,但以物流为中心的电动汽车正在引领该国的可持续交通发展。 他将这一趋势归因于有利的政府政策、改进的电池技术以及电动货车总拥有成本(TCO)的下降。 解决充电基础设施挑战 强大的充电基础设施一直是电动汽车普及的关键因素,但挑战依然存在。Lewis表示,印度的高速公路网络已经配备了完善的充电站,平均每100公里就有一个充电站。然而,重点已从可用性转向可靠性。 Lewis解释说:“问题不在于充电桩是否存在,而在于它们是否正常运行——停机时间是一个问题。”他强调需要改进充电桩的维护和管理,并预测将出现专门从事充电桩维护的第三方服务提供商。 对于Magenta Mobility来说,充电基础设施的挑战较小,因为该公司采取了在客户所在地附近建立充电中心的策略。“我们在几个月前就开始建设充电中心,确保车队的无缝运行,”Lewis表示,并补充说,这种方法最大限度地减少了对公共网络的依赖。 Magenta的市场份额 Magenta Mobility已确立其在印度最大的电动货运车队运营商的地位,在18个城市拥有超过2500辆电动汽车。 该公司为各种各样的客户提供服务,包括电子商务公司和汽车零部件、润滑油和消费品等传统行业。 Lewis说:“我们运输的货物包括润滑油、床垫、食品和电视机等,”这突显了车队的多功能性。 Lewis补充说,该公司96.6%的客户满意度得分反映了其对质量和服务的坚定承诺。Magenta还在扩大车队规模,增加四轮车,从而扩大其能力,除了最后一公里配送外,还可以处理中程物流。 Lewis解释说:“这一转变为客户带来了新的机遇,也使我们的收入来源多样化。” 挑战与机遇 尽管取得了成功,但商用电动汽车行业仍面临障碍。主要的挑战之一是高质量车辆的可用性。虽然三轮车的选择有了显著改善,但市场上仍然缺乏足够的商用四轮车车型。 另一个挑战是融资。“融资渠道有所改善,但电动汽车的资本成本仍然高于传统汽车,”Lewis指出。 司机可用性也是一个问题。Magenta通过提供及时的薪水、福利计划和保险来吸引和留住熟练的司机。“质量、安全和诚信对我们来说是不可谈判的,”Lewis强调。 政府政策的作用 政府补贴在支持印度电动汽车的普及方面发挥了重要作用。 Lewis对政府继续致力于电动汽车生态系统充满信心,他援引了政府通过“混合动力和电动汽车加速采用和制造”(FAME)计划对商用领域关注的例子。 Lewis表示:“政府已经向中国等全球领导者学习,并了解为长期可持续性投资电动汽车的必要性。”他还主张将补贴导向车辆而不是充电基础设施,认为这种方法可以最大限度地提高效率。 展望未来 Magenta Mobility雄心勃勃地计划发展壮大,包括将其业务扩展到更多的印度城市以及探索国际市场。虽然物流业务将继续专注于印度,但该公司的技术平台(包括充电状态监测和电池健康分析)的设计具有全球可扩展性。 Lewis说:“东南亚的电动汽车普及率落后,但对我们的技术表现出浓厚的兴趣。”他认为中东和东南亚是未来扩张的关键地区。 作为印度最大的商用电动汽车运营商,Magenta Mobility的主要竞争对手现在是传统的物流提供商,而不是其他电动汽车厂商。“我们的目标是成为最大的物流提供商,而不仅仅是最大的电动汽车运营商,”Lewis评论道。 虽然氢动力交通工具最终可能会挑战电动汽车,但Lewis认为它距离大规模应用还有十年时间。与此同时,Magenta Mobility仍然专注于其核心使命:推动可持续和高效物流解决方案的采用。 来源 DIGITIMES 亚洲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。

长期新冠脑雾与肺功能相关 Finance

长期新冠脑雾与肺功能相关

(SeaPRwire) - 芝加哥, 2024年11月26日 — 根据一项将于下周在北美放射学会(RSNA)会议上发表的研究,长新冠患者的肺部气体交换能力下降可能与认知功能障碍有关。 根据美国国家健康统计中心的数据,大约17.6%的美国成年人经历过一种通常被称为长新冠的 COVID-19 后遗症。长新冠患者可能会出现多种症状,包括注意力难以集中(“脑雾”)、嗅觉或味觉改变、疲劳、关节或肌肉疼痛、呼吸困难、消化系统症状等等。这些症状可能在 COVID-19 感染后持续数周、数月甚至数年。 来自爱荷华州爱荷华市的University of Iowa的研究人员着手评估长新冠患者肺部 MRI 气体交换、大脑结构和功能 MRI 以及认知之间的关联。在肺部气体交换中,氧气从肺部转移到血液,而二氧化碳从血液转移到肺部。 “这是首次使用 MRI 联合评估肺部和大脑功能以研究其在长新冠中的关系,”该研究的主要作者、爱荷华州爱荷华市University of Iowa放射学系研究生研究助理Keegan Staab先生说。“这项研究的新颖之处在于它结合了多种独特的影像学类型来研究疾病人群中的多器官关系。” 该研究的资深作者、University of Iowa放射学系教授兼研究副主任Sean B. Fain博士补充道:“如果这些发现可以推广到长新冠人群,该研究表明,认知功能障碍和肺功能障碍之间可能存在因果关系,这表明可以使用靶向改善气体交换的方法来制定潜在的治疗策略。” 在这项研究中,研究人员招募了来自 COVID-19 后遗症诊所的 10 名女性和 2 名男性患者(中位年龄:59 岁),这些患者在急性 COVID-19 感染消退后持续出现呼吸困难和/或疲劳。他们进行了超极化氙肺部 MRI、大脑结构和功能 MRI、肺功能测试和认知测试。 “129Xe MRI 允许对通气和气体交换进行高级测量,”Staab 说。“文献还表明,与标准呼吸测试相比,129Xe 对肺损伤可能更敏感,这使其更适合研究长新冠患者,因为这些患者通常的呼吸测试结果正常。” 感知到的认知困难是使用患者报告的结果测量信息系统测量的,客观的认知能力是使用美国国立卫生研究院工具箱 V3 认知电池评估的。 “研究中的患者存在一系列认知困难,”Staab 说。“有些是轻微的,表明轻微功能障碍,而另一些则更为严重,表明一些患者每天多次出现思维迟缓和注意力难以集中。” 结果显示,肺部气体交换能力下降可能与长新冠患者的认知功能障碍以及灰质和白质体积减少有关。此外,研究人员观察到显著的相关性,表明脑血流量增加与长新冠患者气体交换减少有关。 Staab 说,需要进行更大规模的研究来调查长新冠中气体交换和脑血流量之间的关联。 “这种关系可能是一种补偿机制,其中较低的肺功能通过较高的心输出量和较高的脑灌注来补偿,”他说。“也有可能导致肺部气体交换受损的疾病机制也会通过肺部和大脑的下游血管损伤导致更高的脑灌注。” 根据这项研究的结果,气体交换异常可能有助于识别需要额外治疗或长期管理的长新冠患者。 其他共同作者是Marrissa J.

FITUR 2025 推动旅游业的自豪感,这是可持续社会和经济发展的关键产业 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 由IFEMA 马德里主办的国际旅游交易会将于2025年1月22日至26日举行,致力于促进商务和知识交流。 在本届第45届展会上,FITUR与旅游业面临的全球性挑战相一致,将可持续性置于其议程的核心,以促进经济的稳健增长。 马德里,2024年11月26日——根据联合国世界旅游组织的统计数据,截至2024年前七个月,国际游客数量已达到7.9亿人次,直接产生的全球经济影响约为3.4万亿美元。鉴于此规模,上一届吸引超过25万名与会者,并有来自152个国家的9000家公司参展的国际旅游交易会,与该行业面临的全球性挑战相一致,并重申其对负责任旅游业推广的承诺,邀请其专业人士加强他们的归属感。 FITUR将于1月22日至26日举行下一届展会,由IFEMA 马德里主办,汇聚了全球旅游市场,并将可持续性置于其项目中心,旨在促进经济的稳健增长,并展示具有积极影响力的尊重做法,这些做法可以被复制以继续改善旅游活动的质量。 这正是其两个主要项目的目标。一方面,FITURNEXT 观察站是FITUR致力于推广最佳实践的平台,在过去六届展会中,它全年都在努力识别和分析全球目的地、公司和组织围绕行业挑战实施的举措。在本届展会上,2025年挑战的重点是旅游业如何促进可持续的食品管理,在对近300份提案进行分析后,获奖者是埃斯特雷马杜拉可持续美食路线(西班牙)、赫蒂格鲁滕邮轮公司(挪威)和Too Good To Go(丹麦)。 另一方面,FITUR 4all是连续第二年将所有需要无障碍服务的人们与旅游目的地和服务联系起来的场所,旨在促进包容性旅游。除了表彰最佳举措外,该项目还将在2025年制作首部无障碍最佳实践指南,以鼓励对全球包容性旅游业的发展和推广的承诺。 旅游业,具有重大责任的经济和社会增长引擎 除了旨在激励专业人士采取有助于保护自然和当地社区的可持续实践,以及促进在展会中负责任地参与外,FITUR 2025还旨在增强其专业人士对属于一个对经济和社会发展产生积极影响的关键部门的自豪感。在这种背景下,整个旅游价值链有助于创造就业机会,保护文化多样性和历史遗产,刺激对基础设施和服务的投资,以及促进可持续发展模式。成为这个行业的一部分,意味着处于一项活动的中心,这项活动除了对经济的贡献外,还创造了交流和尊重的空间,促进了文化间的理解、全球合作和进步。 因此,在“Orgulllosos. Somos turismo”(自豪。我们是旅游业)的口号下,呼吁所有参与者和参观者参与这场向更负责任的旅游业的转变,为地球和人民带来真正而持久的价值。 有关FITUR的更多信息,请点击 照片 – 标识 – 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。
