HKTDC Export Confidence Index 1Q25 ACN Newswire

HKTDC Export Confidence Index 1Q25

HONG KONG, Mar 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The findings of the 1Q25 HKTDC Export Confidence Index showed confidence among Hong Kong exporters has risen moderately, despite the sizable tariff hikes imposed by the US on its trading partners around the world.In specific terms, the Current Performance Index (a measure of actual performance for the quarter in question) rose by 1.8 points to 52.1. Equally reassuringly, the Expectation Index (a measure of confidence in likely performance in the coming quarter) was up by 1.0 points to 51.0. Both readings were above the watermark level of 50, which can be taken as confirming general optimism with regard to future export prospects.Given the likely impact of the series of higher tariffs imposed by the US in the last two months, the HKTDC has slightly adjusted its 2025 Hong Kong export growth forecast from 4% to 3%. There remains a downside risk to the forecast given the uncertainty over any future escalation in global trade tension.Commenting on the revised forecast and the 1Q25 findings, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “It’s a testament to the resilience of Hong Kong’s export sector that growth is still indicated. While export business may be growing at a moderately slower rate than had been initially anticipated, there are still many reasons to be optimistic.”“This is partly down to the agility and flexibility many Hong Kong exporters have demonstrated in terms of strategies for future-proofing their business activities.”From the findings of the 1Q25 survey, it is clear a range of strategies, including diversifying sourcing, expanding into new markets and the relocation of production lines, have been very much front-of-mind for many of Hong Kong’s export-oriented businesses. These moves, it is believed, will help enterprises mitigate the adverse effects of any current or future protectionist measures.Overall, despite a more challenging global trade backdrop, it was encouraging to note the majority of survey respondents (75.4%) remained confident their 2025 net profit margins would either rise or remain stable. This was notably higher than the 72.1% of respondents expressing the same sentiment in 4Q24, while also being the highest such figure for 12 months.In terms of market prospects, uncertainties over its trading stance have inevitably clouded the general views of the US. Tellingly, the Current Performance figure for the country was 47.8, with its 3.1 point quarter-on-quarter decline taking it below the watermark level of 50 for the first time in 12 months.Exporter sentiment, however, remained largely positive when looking beyond the US market, particularly with reference to Mainland China, the EU and the ASEAN bloc. In all, the Current Performance Index reading for Mainland China was up 6.7 points to 59.0 (compared to 4Q24) while the comparable finding for the EU was up 3.8 points to 50.1. The reading for the ASEAN bloc (56.4), meanwhile, remained solidly in expansionary territory.Nicholas Fu, Senior Economist, said “A similar pattern was in evidence in the case of the Expectation Index. This saw Mainland China up 3.0 points to 55.7, followed by the ASEAN bloc (53.0) and the EU (52.7). The US was again down, falling by 4.3 points to hit a one-year low of 46.7.”In terms of more general findings, Jewellery (at 53.1 points) was the most upbeat industry sector with regard to 1Q25 Current Performance, followed by Electronics (52.3) and Timepieces (51.2). In terms of Expectation, Jewellery (54.4), Equipment/Materials (52.6) and Timepiece (51.1) exporters were most optimistic as to their likely future performance.AppendixThe HKTDC Export Confidence Index has been designed to provide a comprehensive overview of Hong Kong exporter sentiment. It comprises two primary / overall indices, one of which gauges the Current Performance with regard to the surveyed quarter, while the other considers Expectation for the upcoming quarter. The findings of both indices are based on a weighted average of five sub-indices – Sales and New Orders, Trade Value, Cost, Procurement, and Inventory.Full details of the methodology / definitions relating to the HKTDC Export Confidence Index can be found in the Appendix section of the full quarterly report.ReferencesHKTDC Export Confidence Index 1Q25: Export Confidence Improves Despite Growing Trade TensionsHKTDC Research websitePhoto download: bit.ly/3QMQHmUHKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan (left) and Senior Economist Nicholas Fu (right) announced the HKTDC Export Confidence Index for the first quarter of 2025 at a press conference todayHKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Senior Economist Nicholas FuMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Fraser LiAgnes WatTel: (852) 2584 4369Tel: (852) 2584 4554Email: fraser.li@hktdc.orgEmail: agnes.ky.wat@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

This new development marks the first such initiative for a district heating and cooling company in central Tokyo. By harnessing green hydrogen to generate electricity with fuel cells, and by switching some fuels from city gas, Akanetsu aims to help reduce CO2 emissions in the process of producing cooling and heat. In this initiative, which is unique in Japan, installation of facilities is expected to be completed by October 2025, with green hydrogen transactions to begin in January 2026.1. Facility OverviewGreen hydrogen produced in Japan using renewable energy is transported by trailer to the Akasaka area of Tokyo, where it is stored in hydrogen storage alloy tanks manufactured by Shimizu Corporation and used as fuel for fuel cells and boilers.2. Details of Installed FacilitiesHydrogen storage tanksThese are safe and compact hydrogen storage alloy tanks, capturing the benefits offered by hydrogen adsorbed on a special alloy to reduce hydrogen gas volume to 1/1000 of its original volume for storage. Unlike conventional liquefied hydrogen tanks and high-pressure containers, hydrogen adsorbed on hydrogen storage alloys is handled at a low pressure of less than 1 MPa, and the use of non-hazardous alloys that do not ignite when placed near fire ensures safety for installation inside buildings. In addition, these rare earth-free alloys contribute to cost reductions.Specifications: Hydrogen storage alloy tank (manufacturer: Shimizu Corporation)Capacity: 1,350 Nm3 (when combined with fuel cells, enables supply of 5,000W of electricity for about 2 weeks)Fuel cellsThese supply power to LED lights, some air conditioning, and emergency outlets on the plant premises. It provides "carbon zero" (carbon-free) electricity by generating electricity using green hydrogen and operates independently not only on a daily basis but also in the event of a power outage.Specifications: Pure hydrogen fuel cell (manufactured by Panasonic Corporation)Power generation capacity: 5,000W x 2 unitsHydrogen boilersHydrogen-mixing combustion boilers have been selected to achieve use of dual fuels between hydrogen and city gas. Of the heat source machinery in the plant, these will be installed for boilers that emit relatively large amounts of CO2.Specifications: Hydrogen-mixing once-through boiler (manufactured by Hirakawa Corporation)Converted steam volume: 2,000 kg/h x 2 unitsMixing ratio: 50% (by volume, maximum ratio) of hydrogen and city gas 13AAbout District Heating and Cooling SystemA district heating and cooling system is a system in which chilled water, hot water, steam, etc. are supplied from a heat supply facility (district heating and cooling plant) to a group of buildings in a certain area through conduits to provide cooling, heating, and hot water supply. In addition to energy savings, the introduction of district heating and cooling brings a variety of other benefits, such as environmental conservation effects resulting in reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and nitrogen oxides, as well as improved convenience and safety.Akasaka Heating&Cooling Supply Co.,LtdAkasaka Heating&Cooling Supply Co.,Ltd ("Akanetsu") provides a stable supply of energy produced by two underground plants in the form of cold water, steam, and electricity to the TBS Broadcast Center and other buildings in the Akasaka 5-chome area of Minato-ku, Tokyo. Akanetsu has a business continuity plan (BCP) in place to ensure that its operations and daily life for local residents and commuters can continue uninterrupted in the event of a major disaster. Akanetsu is committed to supporting local lifestyles and contributing to society by introducing safe and secure facilities utilizing hydrogen to realize the future of green hydrogen as a next-generation energy source and a decarbonized world.Media Contact:Kyodo Public Relations Co., Ltd.E-mail: akanetsu-pr@kyodo-pr.co.jpPress release: https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20250327.pdf Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

NEC provides 25G tunable SFP extended reach optical transceiver JCN Newswire

NEC provides 25G tunable SFP extended reach optical transceiver

NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has started international sales of a 25G tunable SFP extended reach optical transceiver equipped with a tunable laser that improves transmission distance from the 15km of conventional products to 40km, one of the longest transmission distances in the industry. The transceiver also enables reductions in both installation and maintenance costs, which helps to meet the demand for expanding 5G mobile network and access network areas.The new product uses NEC's original silicon photonics optical modulator to reduce the effects of wavelength dispersion, a characteristic of optical fiber that has limited the transmission distance of previous products. In addition, by adopting an electrical dispersion compensation (EDC) receiver circuit that compensates for waveform distortion, the transmission distance has been increased to 40km, 2.6 times that of the conventional product.Furthermore, by maintaining a power consumption of 2.5W, which is the same as that of the 15km product, it is possible to introduce this new transceiver into the same SFP port as before, allowing for flexible upgrades.In addition, the transceiver is compatible with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), and can transmit up to 50 wavelengths multiplexed onto a single optical fiber, enabling significant reductions in optical fiber costs. It also has a tunable laser and can handle all 50 wavelengths with a single unit. This means that there is no need to prepare individual optical transceivers for each wavelength, making it possible to reduce inventory and maintenance costs.Features of the new product include the following:Reduces the effects of wavelength dispersion to achieve long-distance transmissionNEC has developed a new optical modulator that reduces the effects of wavelength dispersion using silicon photonics technology. In addition, by incorporating an EDC that electrically compensates for waveform distortion caused by wavelength dispersion in the receiver, the transmission distance has been extended to 40km.Connection with existing equipment is possibleIt has a power consumption of 2.5W, which is the same as the 15km product, and can be easily introduced into existing SFP ports that accommodate the existing product. The electrical interface is also compatible with the existing product, and transmission up to 40km is possible simply by introducing the new transceiver.Achieving a cost-efficient networkThis product supports WDM networks with up to 50 wavelengths. Since 50 wavelengths can be transmitted over a single fiber, the efficiency of fiber use is high, reducing fiber costs. In addition, since the wavelength can be set freely using a tunable laser, there is no need to prepare individual optical transceivers for each wavelength, reducing inventory and maintenance costs. The tunable laser is made possible by NEC's unique silicon photonics technology, and is integrated with the optical modulator described above.Automatic wavelength setting function for easy implementationThe transceiver communicates with the opposing optical transceiver and is equipped with a self-tuning function that automatically sets the wavelength, so the wavelength setting is completed with the optical transceiver alone. Since it does not require control from the host, no additional work is required when installing it in network equipment.In the years ahead, data traffic is expected to increase even more due to the spread of AI and video distribution services, and it is predicted that demand from users who require high-speed communication will also increase. For this reason, it is important to achieve further area expansion of 5G mobile networks and high-speed access networks at low cost.The 25G tunable SFP extended reach optical transceiver is a product that meets these market needs."More than 2 million units of short reach (SR) and long reach (LR) 25G transceivers were shipped in 2024, replacing 10G connectivity in enterprise and access networks. We expect that extended reach (ER) (40km) transceivers will account for 5% of the total shipments of 25G transceivers in 2025-2030, reaching close to 2 million units over the forecast period," said Vladimir Kozlov, CEO and Chief Analyst of LightCounting."NEC has developed a transformative 25G tunable SFP solution, pushing the boundaries of extended reach to 40km," said Takashi Sato, Corporate Senior Vice President at NEC. "This achievement was made possible by NEC’s proprietary silicon photonics modulator and state-of-the-art dispersion compensation techniques, specifically tailored to address the needs of extended reach for mobile and access networks."Going forward, NEC will continue to expand its lineup of optical transceiver products based on silicon photonics technology, which has the advantage of low power consumption and low cost, in order to meet the growing demand for data traffic.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.

Kyrgyzstan is Developing Its Own Crypto Hub: A7A5 Stablecoin Listed on the Regulated Exchange Meer Exchange

Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan – March 27, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Kyrgyzstan continues to solidify its position as a regional crypto hub. The country is advancing its digital asset regulation, testing legal frameworks, and launching licensed platforms. One of the key steps in this direction is the launch of A7A5 – a stablecoin pegged to the Russian ruble within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The token was issued by the Kyrgyz company Old Vector, in full compliance with local regulatory requirements and with the support of the Kyrgyz government. One of the world’s leading crypto hubs As part of the strategic course set by the country’s president, Kyrgyzstan has adopted a comprehensive package of laws regulating the cryptocurrency market. For the first time, the country has introduced full legislation on digital assets, covering all major aspects of the industry – from exchanges to token issuers. This has created a new institutional infrastructure that did not previously exist in the market. Among the unique innovations is the mechanism for registering token issuances under official state supervision. Regulators ensure that token emissions comply with regulatory requirements, have fiat backing, undergo regular audits, and meet obligations to token holders. In essence, Kyrgyzstan provides one of the most transparent and secure tokenization models in the world. The first issuance of A7A5 (mint) was carried out in complete accordance with the new national legislation – under the control of regulatory authorities and directed to an officially registered, regulated broker. The A7A5 token is now available for trading on the regulated exchange Meer Exchange and is expected to be listed on decentralized platforms in the future. Its fiat backing is stored in bank accounts, and its volume is audited by an independent firm on a quarterly basis. The key advantage of A7A5 is the opportunity to earn up to 20% annually, driven by its link to the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and additional income strategies in DeFi. For those seeking an alternative The digital asset market is moving toward the integration of traditional finance with decentralized technologies. The emergence of stablecoins has enabled users to: Transition from volatile crypto assets to stable currencies without leaving the blockchain ecosystem. Trade freely against the dollar – the world’s primary reserve currency. Participate in DeFi protocols, with the potential to earn quasi-fixed income – returns close to fixed. However, despite the overall growth of the segment, stablecoins denominated in other currencies are still in their early stages. Currency diversity? Not yet Although the segment has seen significant capitalization, stablecoins other than the dollar still have very limited trading volumes: USDT – exceeds $60 billion per day. USDC – around $6 billion. Stablecoins in euros (e.g., EURT, agEUR) rarely exceed $5–10 million in daily trading volume. Stablecoins in yen and yuan are almost non-existent on major exchanges and DeFi protocols. Stablecoins in emerging market currencies (rubles, reais, rupees, etc.) are virtually absent from the crypto market. This limits the potential for building robust currency strategies, including FX and carry trades, which are at the core of the global financial market with a daily volume exceeding $7 trillion. What’s preventing carry trade in crypto? To execute a traditional carry trade strategy in the digital space, several key elements are still missing: Recently, one of the most popular strategies in the global market was the “dollar-yen” trade: borrowing in JPY at a low interest rate and investing in USD. Today, DeFi does not offer the option to borrow in yen or any other currencies to utilize carry trade opportunities, making this scenario unfeasible. The reverse strategy – borrowing in dollars within DeFi – is possible, but there is no infrastructure to invest in assets from emerging markets with fixed returns or to hedge currency risk using derivatives. A7A5: The Solution The launch of A7A5, followed by its listing on both CEX and DEX, marks the first step in expanding the range of tools available to crypto investors, including: Participation in income strategies involving assets from emerging markets. The ability to hedge currency risks using derivative instruments. Synthetic and direct participation in RWA (Real-World Assets) through digital infrastructure. A7A5 is designed for investors who are ready to leverage next-generation technologies to achieve higher returns, given the limited alternatives in the world of traditional finance. The listing on Meer Exchange ensures liquidity, transparency, and institutional access to a new class of digital assets tied to the Russian economy and emerging markets.

“转化疗法”是否会成为新的反 LGBTQ+ 群体的前沿阵地? Latest News

“转化疗法”是否会成为新的反 LGBTQ+ 群体的前沿阵地?

(SeaPRwire) - 肯塔基州州长Andy Beshear周六否决了一项旨在推翻他禁止“转化疗法”(一种试图改变一个人的性取向或性别认同的做法)的行政命令的法案。但推动在该州将这种有争议的做法合法化的立法者可能仍然会得逞。 预计肯塔基州共和党人将于周四举行会议,标志着他们立法会议的结束,他们预计将推翻州长的否决,从而加剧过去几年针对 LGBTQ+ 人群(尤其是青少年)的攻击。在 2025 年的立法会议上,各州议会已经提出了 500 多项反 LGBTQ+ 法案。 哈佛大学专门研究性别研究的教授Michael Bronski说:“我们现在看到的是一个重新活跃起来的团体联盟的结果——所有这些团体都是保守的——尤其是在目前,由于基督教民族主义的线索而得到加强。” 随着几个州的立法会议即将结束,专家们预计不会出现一连串的州立法,试图推翻已经颁布了转化疗法禁令的州。“各州更有可能以稍微不同的方式处理这个问题,”Human Rights Campaign的法律政策高级主管Cathryn Oakley说。 Oakley预计会看到各州“混淆了禁止转化疗法的努力(禁止欺诈性、滥用性的做法,这些做法与医疗建议背道而驰)和阻止跨性别青少年接受最佳实践、医学支持、循证的转变相关护理的努力之间的关键区别。”最高法院今年将就[原文中此处为空白,故不翻译]一案作出裁决,该案挑战了田纳西州对青少年性别确认护理的禁令,并且还可能限制对成年人的护理。 转化疗法已被 American Medical Association 和 American Psychiatric Association 等医疗组织所否定,他们称这种做法既不能有效地改变一个人的身份,而且有害。 根据 Trevor Project 在《American Journal of Public Health》上发表的一项研究,接触过转化疗法的青少年报告企图自杀的可能性是其他人的两倍多。根据 Trevor Project 的2024年全国调查,在 2023 年企图自杀的 LGBTQ+ 青少年中,近 30% 的人接受过转化疗法,该调查针对的是 13 至 24 岁的 LGBTQ+ 青少年的心理健康。根据 Stanford Medicine 研究人员 2024 年的一项研究,转化疗法还与更严重的抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍症状有关。 美国没有全国性的转化疗法禁令。但是,即使美国近一半的州已经制定了禁止这种做法的法律,但它仍然在美国各地发生,截至 2023 年,夏威夷州和佛蒙特州都有注册的治疗师。一些转化疗法治疗师通过将其服务宣传为“修复疗法”,或承诺帮助患者处理“不需要的同性吸引”来规避禁令。 专家表示,转化疗法背后的意识形态也是反跨性别立法背后的言论的一部分。Trevor Project 是一家 LGBTQ+ 青少年自杀预防组织的法律和政策主管Casey Pick说:“只有当你相信他们的性别认同可以改变时,你才能禁止医生和家长希望为他们的跨性别孩子提供的医疗保健。转化疗法的反跨性别信仰结构一直是所有这些反跨性别立法中未被提及的参与者。” 今年3月初,最高法院宣布将审理Chiles v. Salazar一案,该案挑战了科罗拉多州的转化疗法禁令。被 Southern Poverty Law Center 指定为反 LGBTQ 仇恨团体的 Alliance Defending Freedom 正在代表原告Kathy Chiles,她是一名持证顾问,她认为该禁令审查了她的言论自由。美国第十巡回上诉法院裁定该州胜诉,维持了该禁令,理由是转化疗法的危害,并声称该法律对治疗师的行为提出了建议。 但第十一巡回上诉法院已经做出了不同的裁决。2020 年,该法院表示,转化疗法治疗师的言论自由权受到禁令的侵犯,从而禁止了在阿拉巴马州、佐治亚州和佛罗里达州三个州禁止转化疗法。 Alliance Defending Freedom 没有回应《TIME》的采访请求。 一些专家乐观地认为,即将到来的最高法院案件(预计将于 2026 年 6 月作出裁决)是国家最高司法机构反对转化疗法禁令的一个机会,特别是考虑到巡回法院的分歧。“在许多维持禁令的法院中,对于法律依据存在一些分歧。因此,法院很可能会对此进行调查,并发现禁止这些危险行为完全符合该国数百年来的传统和规范医疗行为的做法,”Pick说。她坚持认为,转化疗法禁令在很大程度上是两党合作的,在共和党州长所在的州也获得了通过。 然而,特朗普政府迅速采取行动反对跨性别群体,通过行政命令限制了他们改变性别和获得性别确认护理的能力。民主党人于 2023 年重新提出了联邦转化疗法禁令,但在共和党人控制了国会两院之前,该禁令没有取得进展。 Bronski说,政府和共和党人的目标都很明确。“对跨性别者的攻击是毁灭性的,实际上是对其他群体攻击的开始,”他说。“更大的计划”,特别是像转化疗法这样试图使某人成为顺性别或异性恋的行为,是“简单地消除酷儿的可见性”。 如果您或您认识的某人可能正在经历精神健康危机或正在考虑自杀,请拨打或发送短信至 988。在紧急情况下,请拨打 911,或向当地医院或精神健康服务提供者寻求护理。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。

大西洋月刊公布 Signal 信息,显示 Hegseth 针对胡塞武装的详细攻击计划

` tags. (SeaPRwire) - 华盛顿 — 《The Atlantic》周三公布了特朗普高级国家安全官员之间的完整 ,显示国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)提供了战机发射、打击计划和目标的准确时间——而代表美国对也门胡塞武装发动袭击的男女军人,在本月尚未起飞。 此前,特朗普内阁情报和国防部门的最高级成员经过两天紧张的解释,试图说明现任和前任美国官员表示本应是机密的信息,如何最终出现在包含《The Atlantic》总编辑杰弗里·戈德堡(Jeffrey Goldberg)在内的非机密Signal聊天中。 赫格塞斯拒绝透露他是否在Signal上发布了机密信息。他正在印度-太平洋地区旅行,到目前为止,他只是对这些问题嗤之以鼻,说他没有泄露“战争计划”。国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德(Tulsi Gabbard)和中央情报局局长约翰·拉特克利夫(John Ratcliffe)周二告诉参议院情报委员会成员,是否由赫格塞斯决定他发布的信息是否属于机密。 所披露的信息令人震惊,其具体性包括为保护军事打击的行动安全而严密保守的信息类型。 在群聊中,赫格塞斯发布了: “1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)” “1345: ‘Trigger Based’ F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is @ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME – also, Strike Drones Launch (MQ-9s)” “1410: More F-18s LAUNCH (2nd strike package)” “1415: Strike Drones on Target (THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP, pending earlier ‘Trigger Based’ targets)” “1536 F-18 2nd Strike Starts – also, first sea-based Tomahawks launched.” “MORE TO FOLLOW (per timeline)” “We are currently clean on OPSEC” — 也就是说,行动安全。 “Godspeed to our Warriors.” 戈德堡表示,他曾询问白宫是否反对发布,白宫回应说,他们更希望他不发布。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。

美国副总统J.D. Vance 本周五将前往格陵兰岛与妻子会合 Latest News

美国副总统J.D. Vance 本周五将前往格陵兰岛与妻子会合

(SeaPRwire) - 华盛顿 — 副总统JD Vance表示,他将于周五与他的妻子一同前往格陵兰岛,并在一段在线视频中暗示全球安全正面临风险。 “我们将去看看那里的情况,” Vance在周二分享的一段视频中说。“代表特朗普总统发言,我们希望重振格陵兰人民的安全,因为我们认为这对保护整个世界的安全至关重要。” 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普曾建议美国应该以某种形式控制这个自治、富含矿产的丹麦盟友领土,这激怒了欧洲大部分地区。作为通往北极和北美北大西洋的航海门户,格陵兰岛具有更广泛的战略价值,中国和俄罗斯也在寻求进入其水道和附近的自然资源。 副总统决定访问位于格陵兰岛的美国军事基地,消除了因派遣代表团到另一个国家而没有正式邀请而违反潜在外交禁忌的风险。然而,Vance也批评了长期以来的欧洲盟友依赖美国的军事支持,公开对抗合作伙伴,引发了人们对美国可靠性的担忧。 在副总统宣布他将加入他妻子之前,来自格陵兰和丹麦政府的不满情绪日益强烈,格陵兰政府周一晚上在Facebook上发布消息称,它“没有发出任何访问邀请,无论是私人还是官方”。 丹麦首相梅特·弗雷德里克森周二在丹麦国家广播中表示,这是“不可接受的压力”。 据报道,她将于周四出发前往格陵兰岛,并于周六返回。 Vance和她的三个孩子中的一个计划参观历史遗址并了解格陵兰的文化,但她丈夫的参与已经将这次旅行重新定位为围绕国家安全展开。 副总统说,他不想让他的妻子“独自享受所有的乐趣”,并表示他计划参观位于格陵兰岛西北海岸的Space Force前哨站。 Vance说,其他国家也威胁到了格陵兰以及美国和加拿大。 特朗普的国家安全顾问Mike Waltz最初被列为也将前往格陵兰岛的美国官员之一——但在宣布副总统将出席时,他的名字被删除了。 白宫周二没有说明,在透露他错误地将一名记者添加到一个关于也门军事打击的安全消息应用程序对话中之后,Waltz的旅行计划是否已被更改。 Vance表示,丹麦和北美的领导人“长期以来一直忽视”格陵兰。 对Pituffik Space Base的访问将取代Usha Vance先前宣布的在Sisimiut举行的Avannaata Qimussersu狗拉雪橇比赛之旅。 但是,Polar Research & Policy Initiative的创始人兼执行董事Dwayne Ryan Menezes表示,特朗普政府对格陵兰的“恐吓”可能会适得其反。 Menezes说,如果特朗普“足够聪明”能够理解格陵兰的战略重要性,那么他也应该“足够聪明地知道,没有什么比背弃其盟友更能削弱美国的力量和损害其长期利益,而盟友是美国相对于其对手所享有的主要不对称优势。” 尽管格陵兰和丹麦的官员越来越大声地表达反对意见,但Marc Jacobsen表示,由于丹麦和美国之间于1951年达成的关于格陵兰岛防御的协议,Vance可以访问该太空基地,Marc Jacobsen是Royal Danish Defense College的教授。 他说:“这里有争议的完全是时机问题。” “格陵兰和丹麦已经非常明确地表示,他们不希望美国现在访问,因为格陵兰没有执政政府。” 在他第一个任期内,特朗普提出了购买这个世界最大岛屿的想法,即使作为北约盟友的丹麦坚称它不出售。格陵兰人民也坚决拒绝了特朗普的计划。 特朗普重返白宫包括对领土扩张的渴望,美国总统寻求将加拿大作为第51个州,并恢复对巴拿马运河的控制。他还表示,美国的利益可以从以色列手中接管饱受战争蹂躏的加沙地带的土地,并将其改造成一个豪华的前哨站。 —Keyton从柏林报道。美联社作家Jamey Keaten在日内瓦贡献了报道。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。

益生元苏打水真的对你有益吗? Latest News

益生元苏打水真的对你有益吗?

(SeaPRwire) - 3月17日,PepsiCo 宣布已达成收购益生元苏打品牌Poppi的协议。 Poppi和其他益生元苏打品牌,如,近年来凭借草莓柠檬、橙子、葡萄和樱桃柠檬水等口味而广受欢迎。 这些公司声称,他们的苏打水是普通软饮料的健康替代品,部分原因是它们含有益生元,可以作为我们肠道中细菌(称为益生菌)的食物。 克利夫兰诊所人类营养中心注册营养师兼媒体营养联络员Julia Zumpano表示,益生元和益生菌对于维持健康的肠道微生物组非常重要,并且在研究中与更好的健康结果相关,包括改善消化和增强免疫系统。 但是,当益生元以苏打水的形式提供时,这些健康益处是否仍然成立? Zumpano说:“我认为适量饮用,它们可能是一个相当不错的选择。” “我绝对认为它们比传统苏打水更好……但实际上应该适量饮用。” 2024年,Poppi 因涉嫌其益生元苏打水并没有像该品牌营销声称的那样改善肠道健康而面临 。 Poppi否认了这些指控; 它于2023年停止在其包装上使用“肠道健康”一词,最近 根据美联社的报道,已达成890万美元的和解协议,尚待法院批准。 Zumpano表示,有限的研究证明益生元苏打水会导致积极的肠道微生物组变化,纽约大学营养、食品研究和公共卫生名誉教授Marion Nestle补充说,目前尚不清楚苏打水是否含有足够的益生元来显着影响肠道。 两位专家都表示,食用富含纤维的食物(如水果、蔬菜、谷物和豆类)是比这些饮料更好的益生元来源。 “总是更好,因为水果、蔬菜、谷物和豆类含有大量的营养物质以及纤维,而且它们通常更健康,”Nestle说。 健康专家 认为苏打水不健康的主要原因不是因为缺乏益生元,而是因为添加糖的含量过高。 益生元苏打水也含有添加糖,但远低于普通软饮料。 (例如,12盎司的 含有41克添加糖,而相同量的 含有3克。) 因此,益生元苏打水可以成为传统苏打水的更健康替代品,Zumpano和Nestle都这样认为。 但他们也告诫人们不要喝太多,这可能会导致胃肠道问题,如胀气、腹胀和腹泻。 益生元苏打水绝对不应该是某人膳食纤维的主要来源。 Zumpano说:“喜欢偶尔喝一点,更像是享受一些益生元带来的好处,” “但你主要应该从食物中获取益生元。”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。

治疗尿路感染的新药问世

治疗尿路感染的新药问世 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 尿路感染(UTIs)是女性最常见的医疗问题之一;高达 的女性一生中会得一次。年龄较大的绝经后妇女尤其容易感染,因为雌激素水平降低会导致抑制引起感染的细菌的有益细菌水平降低。 3月25日,美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)批准了30年来首个治疗UTIs的新抗生素。该药物gepotidacin针对E. coli细菌,这种细菌是导致女性最常见的感染类型,即非复杂性UTIs的原因。 这种名为Blujepa的药物的作用方式与现有抗生素不同。它针对E. coli用于制造更多自身拷贝的两种酶,当它生成并剪掉其DNA环时。在该过程中,DNA可能会缠结,但细菌可以解开这些结。Blujepa会干扰该过程,从而阻止细菌复制并产生更多可能感染细胞的细菌。 GSK(Blujepa的制造商)的首席科学官Tony Wood在新闻发布会上表示,这一过程是E. coli细菌独有的,并且该药物专注于这一独特属性可能使细菌更难对该药物产生耐药性。用于治疗UTIs的现有抗生素对多种细菌具有广泛的活性——这使得细菌更有可能找到产生耐药性的方法。 在FDA审查批准的两项大型药物试验中,Blujepa与另一种常用的UTIs抗生素呋喃妥因一样好或略好。在两项研究中,Blujepa分别成功治疗了50%和58%的女性感染者,而呋喃妥因的成功率分别为43%和47%。 Wood说,GSK还在研究该药物对体内其他E. coli感染的治疗效果,包括淋病。 此外,该公司还在开发另一种抗生素来治疗复杂的UTIs,在这种情况下,感染会扩散到膀胱以外的其他组织。这些感染通常需要住院治疗和更长时间的疗程。该药物可能有助于人们避免住院或减少他们需要加强护理的住院时间。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。
