DENSO and DELPHY Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Develop Data-Driven Smart Horticulture

KARIYA, JAPAN, Apr 24, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - DENSO CORPORATION and DELPHY GROEP BV have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at developing and promoting data-driven smart horticulture(1).From left: DELPHY GROEP BV Managing Partner Horticulture Aad van den Berg,DENSO CORPORATION Food Value Chain Business Development Division Executive Officer Yasushi MukaiRecently, the instability of agricultural production caused by factors such as climate change and the decline in the farming population, as well as the resulting food shortages has become pressing issues. Under these circumstances, there is a global need to enable anyone a stable, sustainable agricultural production, anytime, in any environment.DENSO has been engaged in the horticultural business by leveraging technology developed in the automotive sector. By developing environmental control systems and greenhouses for horticulture, as well as harvest robots(2), DENSO has continuously enhanced its sensing capabilities in greenhouse IoT and harvesting processes.DELPHY is a leading cultivation consulting company, staffed by numerous experts with extensive, long-term experience in cultivation support. The cultivation management software QMS(3) provided by DELPHY inputs climate data such as temperature and sunlight, along with crop data including fruit counts and weights, into a mathematical plant growth model. By using these data to plan cultivation, DELPHY has been assisting producers in achieving stable, long-term cultivation.By drawing on their respective strengths, DENSO and DELPHY have signed the MOU to begin exploring data-driven smart horticulture, which optimizes the cultivation environment and methods by consolidating and utilizing data essential for crop growth. The main initiatives are as follows:■ System Development to Achieve Stable Planned CultivationBy automatically collecting crop data—which growers have until now observed visually or measured by hand—through DENSO’s sensing technology, accuracy is enhanced. Furthermore, by entering this crop data into DELPHY ’s QMS, it becomes possible to improve the precision of cultivation planning.

极海传媒助力纽曼出海:从中国智造到东南亚C位 SeaPRwire

极海传媒助力纽曼出海:从中国智造到东南亚C位

长沙, 中国 - (SeaPRwire) -在全球数码市场风云变幻的时代,纽曼(Newsmy)这个名字,似乎总是能在某个科技展会的某个角落,掏出一件你意想不到的“狠货”——从点读笔到平板电脑,从MP4到智能车载,连储能电源都能整得明明白白。如今,这位深耕数码科技多年的“老牌选手”,也不再满足于“国内卷王”的人设,开始把目光投向热带风情与商业潜力并存的东南亚市场。 这一次,纽曼(https://newsmy.com/)选择和长沙极海文化传媒(https://www.hnjihai.com/)联手,让自己在马来西亚、泰国、印尼、越南等地,来了一场说走就走的“品牌突围之旅”。 用东南亚热带的风,吹动中国制造的新名片 众所周知,东南亚不仅是“榴莲自由”的代名词,更是当下全球制造业出海的“高频关键词”。但这个市场,说简单不简单。多语言、多文化、多媒体环境,常常让品牌感到“东南亚好像谁都懂,但谁都搞不定”。 而极海传媒,恰恰是这片市场的“熟门熟路”。作为国内为数不多在东南亚市场拥有稳定合作网络的品牌传播机构之一,极海在新加坡、马来西亚、菲律宾等国家,与多家一线媒体保持紧密合作。包括《星洲日报》《海峡时报》、VietnamNet、Bangkok Post 等在内的主流媒体,为客户的海外形象提供了极具地缘优势的展示舞台。 “很多企业一谈东南亚,就想搞大动作,但最后都卡在了传播策略上。我们做的,就是把这些‘大动作’落到地上,让东南亚的读者真正看到、听到、记住品牌的名字。”极海传媒市场负责人表示,“对纽曼这样的中国老牌科技企业而言,他们有技术、有产品、有故事,我们负责把这些讲好。” 黎志军:用实力说话,用内容“炸场” 谈及与极海的合作,纽曼市场总经理黎志军先生用一句话概括道:“我们对东南亚市场的兴趣,从来不只是试试看,而是奔着成绩去的。” 黎总坦言,纽曼在国内市场已形成较高的用户基础和品牌粘性,但面对东南亚这样一个文化差异显著、消费者偏好多样的市场,单靠传统的市场打法远远不够。“你不能指望一个泰国消费者在看到一堆技术参数之后立马买单。他们更在意故事感、品牌态度和是否‘get到我’。而这正是极海所擅长的。” 据悉,在与极海合作期间,纽曼多个核心产品,如NewPad系列平板电脑、纽曼车载导航系统、储能电源等,均通过一系列本地化媒体布局进入东南亚市场主流视野。无论是产品测评、品牌专访,还是结合本地热点话题的软性推广,极海都根据各国受众的喜好进行深度定制,让纽曼品牌在短时间内迅速获得关注。 有趣的是,极海团队为纽曼策划的几篇专题报道,甚至一度登上马来西亚某门户科技频道的热门榜单。报道下方评论区,一位马来网友留言说:“我以为这是哪个欧美品牌,结果是中国的?Respect(致敬)!” 传播的尽头,是认同感 品牌出海,不止是产品的流动,更是文化与认同的传递。纽曼这次出海,不仅仅是想“卖出更多机器”,更希望通过恰当的品牌表达,传递中国制造的品质与情怀。 极海传媒的团队也并未拘泥于传统媒体路线,而是同步联动Facebook、Twitter等社交媒体上的本地KOL资源,制造“真实可信”的用户讨论氛围。通过发布用户测评视频、使用心得分享等方式,让纽曼在社交场域中也“有话题”“有人设”。 在新加坡,一位拥有上万粉丝的科技博主用纽曼车载导航录了一段“反向带路”视频,配文“终于不用再绕三圈找停车场”,网友直呼“这才是生活里的科技感”。类似的“接地气”营销模式,也让纽曼摆脱了“只出产品不出人情味”的刻板印象。 写在最后:出海这事儿,得找对搭子 无论是智能硬件还是内容传播,在如今这个“信息过剩”的时代,光有产品远远不够,品牌故事如何讲、在哪讲、讲给谁听,往往决定了出海的成败。 纽曼此次选择与极海传媒合作,不仅展现出对东南亚市场的战略重视,也体现出对本地化传播力量的高度认可。而极海,则凭借其多年深耕东南亚的实战经验与高质量媒体资源,成为纽曼打开市场的“可靠搭子”。 未来,随着双方合作的深入,或许我们能在更多国家的街头巷尾,看到带有“纽曼制造”的智能设备悄然走进普通人的生活。而在背后推着这股东风的,也许就是极海传媒这个“出海品牌背后的隐形推手”。

HighTide Therapeutics to Showcase New Analyses of Phase 2 MASH/T2DM Studies of Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) and Pre-Clinical Results of Rimtoregtide (HTD4010) in Presentations at EASL Congress 2025 ACN Newswire

HighTide Therapeutics to Showcase New Analyses of Phase 2 MASH/T2DM Studies of Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) and Pre-Clinical Results of Rimtoregtide (HTD4010) in Presentations at EASL Congress 2025

HONG KONG, Apr 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – HighTide Therapeutics, Inc. (2511.HK), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of multifunctional multi-targeted therapies for chronic liver and metabolic diseases, announced today that it will present at the EASL Congress 2025, taking place from May 7-10, 2025 in Amsterdam. The presentations include post-hoc analyses of two Phase 2 clinical studies of berberine ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801), a gut-liver anti-inflammatory metabolic modulator, being developed for treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A third presentation will present preclinical results for rimtoregtide (HTD4010), a peptide derived from the Reg3a protein, in liver failure in mice.“Effects of Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) in Patients with At-risk MASH and T2DM”(Presentation SAT-440, Poster Presentation, May 10, 8:30 AM CET)About the Abstract: Due to the ongoing unmet medical need, clinical development in MASH focuses on patients who are at a higher risk of disease progression and outcomes due to the presence of moderate to advanced fibrosis (defined as at-risk MASH). The purpose of this analysis was to assess the effects of HTD1801 in patients with at-risk MASH and T2DM as defined by baseline MRI cT1 >875 ms. Eighteen weeks of treatment with HTD1801 resulted in substantial improvements in key hepatic and cardiometabolic parameters in patients with at-risk MASH and compared to placebo, twice as many patients achieved a reduction in liver fat content (MRI-PDFF) or fibroinflammation (cT1) that have been associated with improvements in liver histology. These data are particularly insightful as HTD1801 continues to be evaluated in an ongoing paired biopsy study of patients with at-risk MASH and pre-diabetes or diabetes.“Effects of Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) in Chinese Patients with T2DM and Presumed MASLD”(Presentation SAT-432, Poster Presentation, May 10, 8:30 AM CET)About the Abstract: T2DM typically coexists with other metabolic abnormalities such as hyperlipidemia, obesity, and MASH that can exacerbate T2DM and can lead to a worse prognosis with increased risk for mortality and cardiovascular outcomes. In a Phase 2 study in patients with T2DM, HTD1801 achieved the primary endpoint with a significant decrease in HbA1c. Based on the latest diagnostic criteria, it is likely that a substantial subgroup of the study may have had concurrent metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the benefits of HTD1801 in patients with T2DM and MASLD identified by baseline controlled attenuation parameter values >288 dB/M (correlated to 5% liver fat content). HTD1801 treatment demonstrated both dose-dependent improvements in cardiometabolic and hepatic parameters in patients with T2DM and MASLD. These data suggest HTD1801 can comprehensively address metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors beyond glycemic control.“A Comparison of the Protective Effects of Rimtoregtide (HTD4010) and DUR-928 on Acute Liver Failure in Mice”(Presentation FRI-141, Poster Presentation, May 9, 8:30 AM CET)About the Abstract: The purpose of this study was 1) to test the potential protective effects of HTD4010 in an LPS-induced model mimicking acute liver failure in mice and 2) compare these effects to DUR-928, which is currently in late-stage development for the treatment of alcohol-associated hepatitis. In an LPS-induced mouse model mimicking acute liver failure, HTD4010 resulted in significant improvement in survival rates (greater than 2-fold) compared to the model control. These protective effects of HTD4010 were significantly greater than DUR-928. These findings provide evidence that HTD4010 may have a beneficial effect on acute liver conditions including alcohol-associated hepatitis and other acute-inflammatory-related conditions.About Berberine UrsodeoxycholateBerberine ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) is an orally delivered, gut-liver anti-inflammatory metabolic modulator being developed for the treatment of metabolic and digestive diseases. HTD1801, an ionic salt of berberine and ursodeoxycholate, is a new molecular entity with a unique dual mechanism of action: AMP kinase activation and NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition. These two key mechanistic pathways have been associated with improvements in insulin resistance, glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and hepatic inflammation, potentially providing a comprehensive treatment platform for the multifaceted nature of complex metabolic diseases. HTD1801 is being developed for multiple indications. HTD1801 met the primary endpoint in two Phase 3 clinical trials in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), demonstrating a clinically meaningful effect on HbA1c. In both trials, key secondary endpoints were achieved, suggesting multiple advantages of HTD1801 including improvement in cardiometabolic risk indicators. In addition to T2DM, HTD1801 efficacy in treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has been demonstrated in a Phase 2a clinical trial, and a global multicenter Phase 2b trial assessing the histologic benefit of HTD1801 is currently ongoing, with topline results expected in 2025.About RimtoregtideRimtoregtide (HTD4010) is a clinical-stage compound in development for acute inflammatory-related indications including alcoholic hepatitis (AH). It is a peptide derived from the Reg3a protein with immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects. HTD4010 has been evaluated in animal models of acute pancreatitis and acute liver failure, where protective effects were observed. A completed Phase 1 clinical trial of HTD4010 in healthy subjects demonstrated a favorable safety profile. AH is caused by chronic heavy alcohol abuse or a sudden, drastic increase in alcohol consumption. It is characterized by severe inflammation and, ultimately, liver failure and death. There is currently no approved treatment for AH and only a few drug candidates are in clinical development. The current standard of care focuses on symptom management, including abstinence, treating inflammation and providing nutrition.About HighTide TherapeuticsHighTide Therapeutics, Inc.

TransNusa Increases Scheduled Flight Frequency to Singapore

JAKARTA, Apr 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - South East Asia’s first premium service airline, PT TransNusa Aviation Mandiri, is further strengthening its presence in Singapore by increasing the frequency of its scheduled flights for the Jakarta – Singapore route to two times daily from today.This announcement comes barely a month after TransNusa successfully launch scheduled flights to Perth from its base in Bali.TransNusa Group Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Bernard Francis said that TransNusa has plans to further strengthen its network connectivity this year.In line with this, TransNusa launched its second daily flight to Singapore today. The additional flight, 8B 153, departed at 12.10pm from the Terminal 3 Soekarno – Hatta International Airport and arrived Singapore Changi Airport at 14.40pm today. While its additional flight, 8B 154, departed Changi Airport at 15.30pm and arrived at the Soekarno – Hatta International Airport at 16.20pm.“TransNusa will continue to operate the current scheduled flight, 8B 151, which depart Soekarno – Hatta International Airport at 07.55am and arrive at 10.45am at the Changi Airport,” Datuk Bernard said, adding that the current flight, 8B 152, depart Changi Airport at 11.45am and arrive in Jakarta at 12.30pm.TransNusa has been consistently achieving milestones since the introduction of a new top management led by aviation veteran, Datuk Bernard Francis. The airline, which introduced its first international flight on April 14, 2023, has expanding its wings from South East Asia to the Asia Pacific region within a short span of 2 years.Datuk Bernard attributes the airline’s successes and accelerated growth within the last 24 months to their customised business model and the vastly experienced management team.Datuk Bernard stressed that for its international flights, TransNusa not only provide premium services with competitive ticket prices, but the airline also has attractive product bundles called SEAT, SEAT-PLUS and FLEXI-PRO."Our passengers will enjoy check-in baggage of between 20kgs to 30 kgs, depending on the product purchased,” Datuk Bernard said, explaining that the baggage offering was over and above the 7kgs limit offered as a passenger’s hand carry.“For the highest package, FLEXI-PRO, we provide more complete services such as free baggage 30kgs, free to choose seats, free food, and drinks, priority at check-in and boarding. In addition, TransNusa also provides its FLEXI-PRO passengers with the ability to be able to change their flight schedule without restrictions and obtain refund when needed.”TransNusa, which aims to ensure its passengers travel with ease and comfort, has also configured their A320s with a 174-seat configuration, which allows for passengers to enjoy about 30 inches of legroom, comparable to the experience passengers would get in a full-service airline."We are committed to providing affordable and competitive ticket prices, while still providing premium services to our customers.” said Datuk Bernard, adding that the ticket price for the Jakarta – Singapore route starts from as low as SGD52 (USD40).DATUK BERNARD FRANCIS… TransNusa to focus on strengthening network connectivityTransNusa, A Short HistoryTransNusa, which had to close it business operation in September 2020 due to impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the aviation industry, started operations again after injection of new shareholders and a new management team led by aviation expert, Datuk Bernard, in October 2022.Within 6 months, the airline introduced its first international route between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur and celebrated its first-year anniversary for this route on April 14, 2024.“When we re-launched TransNusa in October 2022, we started from the bottom again. Everything was new because the pandemic had disrupted the aviation business operations boundaries. As such we re-created and customised our business operations and strategy model of being the first Premium Service Carrier based on the post-pandemic scenario,” Datuk Bernard explained.TransNusa launched its first international route between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur in April, 2023, followed by the Jakarta – Singapore route on November 20, 2023. After which, the airline successfully launched three more new international routes by the end of 2023. TransNusa’s aggressive international growth strategy combined with its domestic business operations approach has enabled the airline to experience strategic growth in the last two years.Since the takeover of new shareholders and the injection of a new management team, TransNusa has been making headlines in Malaysia, Singapore, China and Australia with news of being the first airline in Indonesia and the world to develop and introduce a new domestic route connecting Bali and Manado. TransNusa also became the second Indonesian airline to receive approval to fly to China.About TransNusaEstablished in 2005, TransNusa started its operation by providing chartered flights. It began its commercial flights in 2011. After ceasing operations due to the Covid-19 pandemic, TransNusa relaunched itself in 2021 as a low-cost airline in its domestic market. In 2023, TransNusa introduced a new business model making it the first Premium Service Airline in the region. The new business model will apply only to its international routes. TransNusa introduced its first international route in April this year. The airline introduced its Jakarta – Kuala Lumpur round trip route and had its maiden flight on April 14. The airline is currently based in Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.Passengers can book their flights on the TransNusa website (www.transnusa.co.id), through authorized travel agents in Singapore and Indonesia, or by contacting the airline's customer service centre at, +62216310888.

Coya Therapeutics Announces Positive Interim Results of an Investigator-Initiated Open Label Study with Low-Dose IL-2 and CTLA4-Ig Combination Treatment in Five Patients with Mild to Moderate Frontotemporal Dementia ACN Newswire

Coya Therapeutics Announces Positive Interim Results of an Investigator-Initiated Open Label Study with Low-Dose IL-2 and CTLA4-Ig Combination Treatment in Five Patients with Mild to Moderate Frontotemporal Dementia

- Results from the first patient cohort (N=5) of an open-label proof of concept academic study with low-dose IL-2 and CTLA4-Ig demonstrated a rapid and durable statistically significant increase in the number and suppressive function of Tregs compared to baseline values. - Clinically, patients with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) demonstrated minimal to no cognitive decline throughout the study period. Treatment was well tolerated, no serious adverse events were reported, and all 5 patients completed the study.Houston, TX, Apr 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Coya Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: COYA) (“Coya” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing biologics intended to enhance regulatory T cell (Treg) function announced positive interim results of an investigator-initiated proof of concept open-label study with low-dose IL-2 and CTLA4-Ig combination treatment in patients with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). The study is led by Dr. Alireza Faridar and Dr. Stanley Appel at the Houston Methodist Neurological Institute (Houston, TX) with funding from The Peggy and Gary Edwards Endowment Fund. Study patients received subcutaneously administered CTLA4-Ig, followed by a 5-day course of low-dose IL-2 every four weeks, for a total of 22 weeks of dosing and follow-up. The study aims to enroll up to 10 patients, and these interim results include data from the first 5 patients with mild to moderate FTD who have completed the full course of treatment.Dr. Arun Swaminathan, Coya’s Chief Executive Officer followed: “The results thus far are consistent with previously published encouraging data from an open-label investigator-initiated study of patients with ALS treated with low-dose IL-2/CTLA4-Ig. This interim data in FTD provides us further confidence of our approach to target and enhance Treg biology to address devastating neurodegenerative diseases including ALS and FTD”.Previous biomarker data presented by the Company demonstrated that FTD patients exhibit a compromised immunosuppressive function of regulatory T cells (Tregs), along with increased peripheral levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, dysregulation of monocytes, and systemic activation of the inflammatory cascade, supporting the critical role of the immune system in the pathophysiology of FTD.One previous study showed that a cohort of 68 patients with FTD worsened by an average of 3.57 points over a 12-month period per the Clinical Dementia Rating - Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (CDR‐FTLD) scale (Knopman et al. Brain 2008; 131(11): 2957-2968). In addition, patients with FTD typically have shorter survival times and more rapid rates of cognitive and functional decline compared to patients with Alzheimer’s disease (Rascovsky et al. Neurology 2005; 65(3): 397-403).Dr. Fred Grossman, Coya’s Chief Medical Officer stated: “We are excited with the results observed in this initial group of patients with this proof-of-concept study. We believe that the increase in Treg numbers and suppressive function, with subsequent anti-inflammatory biological activity still to be evaluated, underscores the potential for this low-dose IL-2/CTLA4-Ig combination to be further studied as a therapy for FTD, for which there are no currently approved treatments.”Summary of Interim Study Results Overall, treatment with low-dose IL-2 and CTLA4-Ig was well tolerated. All 5 patients enrolled in the first cohort completed the study and received the investigational treatment as planned. The most common adverse events were mild injection site reactions. No serious adverse events were reported.Treg numbers and suppressive function increased after the first treatment cycle (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively, and remained at higher significant levels throughout the treatment period.Clinical functional assessments were performed in all patients at pre-specified timepoints over the course of the study using validated tools, including the Clinical Dementia Rating - Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (CDR‐FTLD) scale, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale, and the Progressive Aphasia Severity Scale (PASS). Results of the functional tests show that, on average, these five FTD patients treated with low-dose IL-2 and CTLA4-Ig combination exhibited minimal to no cognitive decline over the course of the study, compared to pre-treatment values.The Company intends to publish and/or present more comprehensive data in a future peer-reviewed meeting and/or publication.About Frontotemporal DementiaFrontotemporal dementia (FTD) refers to a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by altered behavior and language, with a progressive decline in executive function.1 FTD affects an estimated 30,000 Americans.2 FTD is categorized clinically into various subtypes; the main three include behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia and two language variants, semantic dementia (also known as semantic variant primary progressive aphasia) and progressive non-fluent aphasia (also known as non-fluent variant primary progressive aphasia). It's a presenile dementia, meaning it can occur in younger individuals, often between the ages of 45 and 64. The average age of onset is 58, with an average survival time of 7.5 years.1,2References1.

MHIEC Completes Renovation of Core Facilities for Arita Municipal Recycle Plaza in Saga Prefecture

Renovation of main equipment provides for long-term stable operation, with improvements in energy efficiency to reduce CO2 emissions by 4% or moreProcessed branches and grass to be used for compost, fertilizer for home gardens, and bedding for livestockTOKYO, Apr 24, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (MHIEC), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has completed work on a project to renovate and expand the core facilities of Arita Municipal Recycle Plaza, a waste recycling facility in Arita-cho, Saga Prefecture, based on an order from the town received in 2023. In addition to the construction of a new facility for processing pruned branches and grass trimmings, the existing recycling treatment equipment was reconditioned to extend its operational life and improve energy efficiency.Arita Municipal Recycle Plaza was designed and built by MHI, and completed in March 1999. It processes and recycles non-combustible and bulky refuse, as well as recyclable materials (cans, glass, plastic bottles). The overall processing capacity of the facility is 12 tonnes per five hours.The core facility renovation involved upgrading the main equipment of the recycling processing plant, such as conveyors, sorting equipment, and electrical instrumentation, which had become worn and degraded after more than 20 years of operation. The renovation aims for stable operation over the long term, and improvements in energy efficiency will reduce CO2 emissions by 4% or more.The newly constructed processing facility for pruned branches and grass trimmings effectively utilizes the green waste collected from around the town for compost or spreading material (sawdust for animal bedding), with a processing capacity of 1.2 tonnes per five hours. After being stored in the receiving yard, pruned branches and grass trimmings are finely processed on crushing and pulverizing lines, and will be effectively utilized by town residents as compost or fertilizer for home gardens, or by local livestock farmers in the town for animal bedding as an alternative to straw.MHIEC succeeded MHI's environmental protection business in 2008, taking over its accumulated technological development capabilities in environmental protection systems and abundant expertise in the construction, operation, and maintenance of waste management facilities both in Japan and overseas. Based on this robust track record, the company is well positioned to propose comprehensive solutions encompassing all aspects from plant construction to operation and maintenance. Going forward, the Company will continue proactively proposing solutions for extending the service life of existing waste treatment facilities, coping with global warming, and reducing maintenance, management and other lifecycle costs, to contribute to realization of a carbon neutral society.Overview of Arita Municipal Recycle PlazaTreatment Capacity 12 tonnes per five hoursNon-combustible and bulky refuse: 10 tonnes per five hoursCans and glass: 1.8 tonnes per three hoursPlastic bottles: 0.2 tonnes per two hoursTreatment Method Crushing, sorting, and compaction Overview of the Branches and Grass Processing FacilityTreatment Capacity1.2 tonnes per five hoursTreatment MethodCrushing and pulverizing About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

Mooreast Holdings Announces Business Update ACN Newswire

Mooreast Holdings Announces Business Update

SINGAPORE, Apr 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Mooreast Holdings Ltd. (“Mooreast” or the “Company”), and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) wishes to provide an update on several recent developments: Completion of Multi-Buoy Mooring Upgrade Project at Gulf of ThailandFurther to the Company’s announcement dated 12 November 2024, Mooreast wishes to update that the project to upgrade a multi-buoy mooring (“MBM”) system off the eastern shore of the Gulf of Thailand was completed recently. The Group expects to recognise approximately S$8.8 million for this project in the first half of the financial year ending 31 December 2025 (“1H2025”).The successful completion underscores the Group’s capabilities to handle sizeable mooring projects within the oil and gas (“O&G”) industry. Orders related to the O&G sector had been building up in 2H2024, and have continued to gain momentum in the first four months of FY2025. Even with the delivery of the MBM project, current orders at hand are at least equal to those at the end of FY2024. Accordingly, the Group expects revenue in 1H2025 to exceed the S$13.7 million recorded in 1H2024. Additionally, the Group does not expect that the administrative and other operating expenses to increase significantly in FY2025 given that the current staffing is sufficient to support operations and business development in the near term and the absence of fees for professional services rendered to support the Group’s business repositioning efforts in FY2024. Management is actively reviewing and implementing cost control measures to improve overall cost efficiency and profitability moving forward.Update on Floating Wind Energy Projects in Europe and North AsiaOn 1 January 2025, Mr. Eirik Ellingsen (“Mr. Ellingsen”), a Norwegian with deep experience in the offshore and marine sector, was appointed Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). In the last four months, he has been working closely with Mr. Sim Koon Lam (“Mr Sim”), the founder, Executive Director and Deputy Chairman, on business development strategies amid an increase in commercialisation of floating wind energy projects worldwide.Mr. Ellingsen has been actively engaging players involved in floating wind energy projects in Europe and North Asia, and participated in the WindEurope conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, earlier this month. While the ‘first wave’ of implementation – involving largely demonstration and precommercial projects – had been delayed by the supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the industry has clearly advanced to the ‘second wave’ – commercialisation at scale. With the progress toward commercialisation, the Environmental Resources Management’s “Q3 2024 Global Offshore Wind Market Update" reported over 390 GW of floating wind projects in various planning and development stages. Compared to 50-100 megawatts (“MW”) typical at pre-commercialisation, the latter involves projects of at least 500 MW each. Many of these projects are reaching the final investment decision (“FID”) phase in 2026 and 2027. These include multigigawatt (“GW”) scale projects which can contribute substantially to the growth of offshore wind capacity globally. Typically, mooring and rigging solutions, including anchors, chains, and ropes, account for between 5% to 10% of the total value of each floating wind energy project. Approximately 5.5 GW of floating wind capacity is expected to reach FID in the next 24-36 months. Of this, about two-thirds involve projects in Europe, including those in the North Sea, while a third will come from North Asia. These projects may be deemed as the addressable market of Mooreast. As the Group is currently not targeting U.S. floating wind energy projects, it is not subject to U.S. Government tariffs for its products. Already, Mooreast is working closely with these projects and has indicated its component costings. As these progress to full implementation, developers and partners are looking for a reliable manufacturer capable of handling the large volumes of anchors and mooring components required for these large-scale projects. The Group believes it is uniquely positioned, given its status as Asia’s only ultra-high power anchor designer and manufacturer and its global footprint. Mooreast recently opened new offices in Taiwan and Malaysia in June and July 2024, respectively, expanding its presence in the Asian region.The Group continues to assess the ability of its present facility at 51 Shipyard Road in Singapore to handle production of anchors and components as these projects advance to formal tender, noting that developers have indicated suppliers would need to demonstrate beforehand sufficient capacity to handle the indicative volume. Should such orders escalate beyond the current capacity of the existing yard, Mooreast would need to explore access to additional capacity. Meanwhile, the Company continues to develop its supply chain to better serve its customers globally. The Company will provide updates to shareholders as and when there are material developments regarding floating renewable energy projects.

我们需要哀悼的新模式 Latest News

我们需要哀悼的新模式

(SeaPRwire) - 悲伤不仅仅是悲痛,更是一种转变。它是一种全身心的、灵魂深处的失落或改变的体验,让我们与自己未曾认识的部分相遇。对我而言,悲伤不仅仅是一种情感反应。它是一场内在的地震,撼动着我们存在的根基,为新的事物开辟空间。悲伤是时间本身的延伸,引领我们经历放手的过程——放下我们曾经是谁,放下我们曾经希望拥有的,放下我们曾经紧紧抓住的幻想。是的,它是痛苦的。但它也是强大的。如果我们允许,悲伤可以成为引领我们回归完整的道路。 如今,悲伤无处不在,但很少有人承认它。现代生活的节奏、对生产力的要求以及绩效的压力都推动着。仿佛哀悼变成了一种不便。在一个痴迷于前进的社会里,我们集体丧失了沉浸在悲伤中的能力和许可。 纵观历史,悲伤一直被尊崇为一种神圣的过渡仪式。在古代传统中,它不是被视为需要修复的东西,而是需要感受的东西。在印度教和吠陀教的仪式中,整个社区会在数天甚至数周的时间里参与祈祷和吟唱。在美洲的许多土著部落中,悲伤是一种公共仪式——以哭泣、歌唱、讲故事和象征转变的符号(如剪头发)为标志。这些不仅仅是象征性的行为,它们是能量的入口——帮助灵魂穿越失落和重生之间的过渡空间的方式。 即使在亚伯拉罕宗教中,悲伤也有时间表和结构。犹太人的哀悼仪式,如shiva,为哀悼者和社区提供了一种存在和暂停的节奏。伊斯兰教强调在几天内进行祈祷和纪念。这些传统告诉我们,悲伤不应该是私人的或匆忙的——它应该是被尊重的。 但是,当文化失去这些仪式,当悲伤变得隐形时,后果是毁灭性的。以日本为例,那里神道教和佛教的死亡仪式的衰落与过度劳累和自杀的流行同时发生。当悲伤没有表达出来时,身体是知道的。精神会记住头脑试图忘记的东西。 2020年COVID-19疫情的集体创伤教会了我们这一点。2020年后,我们不仅仅是在为人们悲伤——我们也在为我们认为应该拥有的生活悲伤。疫情暴露了一种集体疼痛,这种疼痛长期以来一直被埋藏在截止日期、干扰和数字噪音之下。再加上每天的倦怠、种族创伤、经济不稳定和社会分裂,我们剩下的是一种深深的、未说出口的痛苦,它潜伏在地表之下。我们试图在一个不会慢下来的世界里跟上节奏,即使我们的心正在破碎。 千禧一代和Z世代对此感受最为强烈。“安静辞职”时代不是关于懒惰——而是关于精神疲劳。这是关于人们选择自己的平和,而不是在一个看不到他们人性的系统中表演。工作场所,曾经是身份和社区的场所,已经成为另一个脱节的场所。在这种脱节中,我们的悲伤会恶化,停滞的悲伤会表现为疾病。 当我们压抑我们的悲伤时,我们会储存它——深深地储存在神经系统中,在我们的细胞中,在身体的记忆中。研究表明,长期未解决的悲伤会削弱免疫系统,扰乱睡眠和消化,并导致长期的精神健康问题。在极端情况下,悲伤甚至会从身体上击碎心脏——takotsubo cardiomyopathy,或“心碎综合征”,是真实存在的。忽视悲伤的代价太高了。 但是还有另一种方法。我们需要新的悲伤模式——这些模式植根于社区、仪式和尊重,而不是孤立或羞耻。我们也可以选择在悲伤中与自己相遇。我们可以安排时间沉浸在悲伤中。我们可以点燃蜡烛,播放触动我们灵魂的音乐,哭泣,尖叫,写日记,移动我们的身体,并释放它。我们可以有意识地创造神圣的容器来悲伤——不是作为清单上的一个项目来勾选,而是作为一种奉献的行为。虽然悲伤是深刻的个人化的,但它不必是孤独的。有时,包含社区的最有效方式是允许自己在悲伤中被看到——通过温和地说明发生了艰难的事情。当我们分享哪怕是我们真相的片段时,我们会在大脑和心中打开新的通路,使联系成为可能。我们开始建立一种新的亲密关系——一种说“我也经历过一些事情”的关系。无论是在值得信赖的友谊中、支持圈中,还是专门为那些正在经历失落的人设计的空间中,社区都会为我们提供镜子和药物。当我们这样做时,我们就会从失落的受害者转变为我们治愈的管理者。 承认和释放我们的悲伤可以帮助我们回归自然。我们可以让风触摸我们的皮肤,让大地稳固我们的脚步,让阳光提醒我们生活仍在继续。我们可以重新融合,知道我们已经转移了能量并尊重了我们的真相。 这就是我们如何重新开始。这就是我们如何将痛苦和困惑转化为力量。 现在比以往任何时候都更需要将悲伤重新定义为一种神圣的实践。我们必须记住我们祖先所知道的:悲伤不是与生活分离的,而是融入生活的结构中的。我们正在被召唤回到我们的人性——回到我们的内心,回到我们的柔软,回到我们的同情心。 尊重悲伤就是尊重活着的复杂性。培养对我们人类体验的敬畏,并顺从于地球上所有情绪之间有保证的振荡,甚至包括快乐,而不仅仅是个体上,而是集体上。 悲伤不是故事的结局。它是门槛。门槛的另一边是自由。 摘自 Devi Brown 的作品。版权所有 © 2025 by Devi Brown。经 Hachette Book Group 旗下 Balance Publishing 的许可转载。保留所有权利。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。

关于大屠杀给我们的教训 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 在今年的动荡之中,世界正在纪念大屠杀结束80周年。纪念活动于1月27日开始,当时许多世界领导人与幸存者在波兰的奥斯威辛集中营会面,以纪念这一时刻。本月,我们纪念布痕瓦尔德集中营、贝尔根-贝尔森集中营和达豪集中营的解放,以及4月24日的大屠杀纪念日 (Yom HaShoah)。纪念仪式将在北美175多个大屠杀中心和博物馆,以及全球数千个纪念场所、学校和社区举行。 我们记得这件事实很重要,但大屠杀教给我们什么?鉴于在我们的讨论中经常提到大屠杀,而与此同时,对该主题的详细了解似乎已经减少,因此很难回答这个问题。但有一些重要的教训值得回顾。 首先,像大屠杀这样的罪行需要一系列条件。它们通常发生在失败的国家。德国未能确保自由民主价值观和公民对话,为纳粹主义的崛起提供了肥沃的土壤。纳粹党通过民主程序上台,尽管(或者可能正是因为)其纲领贬低个人尊严,推行有害的刻板印象,宣传对“美好时光”的虚假怀旧,并利用通信技术进行宣传和招募。一旦进入政府,它就转向独裁主义,破坏国家机构、媒体、公务员队伍、知识分子阶层和法律,以便国家能够反映其意识形态和目标。 可以肯定的是,自1945年以来,许多其他国家也有类似的执政党,但它们并没有发动种族灭绝。因此,要发生大屠杀,还需要额外的步骤,包括大众的冷漠、精英的共谋以及国际社会的失败。大屠杀幸存者 Elie Wiesel 警告我们所有人要警惕冷漠,这是有充分理由的:在冲突时期向内转,会阻止我们勇敢起来,并导致对弱势群体的剥削。在作恶的国家,大多数人是消极的旁观者,但包括艺术家、大学教授、天主教和新教神职人员、媒体大亨、商界领袖甚至医生在内的精英也大量参与其中。正如精英们被证明是软弱的,国际秩序也是如此,例如慕尼黑协定中英国和法国允许德国吞并捷克斯洛伐克的大部分地区,或者当美国和数十个国家在 Evian Conference 上决定拒绝允许更多犹太难民入境时,或者当苏联在1939年占领并瓜分波兰时。这些失败只会助长法西斯主义及其罪行。 最后,也是至关重要的是,大屠杀需要反犹太主义,这是一种比西方文明更古老的普遍仇恨,它贯穿于社会各个阶层。数千年来对犹太人的仇恨已经导致数十万人被谋杀,但在独裁统治下,它为纳粹分子找到了愿意参与和合作的人,并使大批民众以各种方式忽视或加入对犹太人的暴力活动提供了必要的框架。 我们所有人都有可能成为此类罪行的施害者或消极的旁观者,但只有当我们也理解大屠杀发生在有希望和梦想、有缺点和挑战以及内在人性的真实人物身上时,我们才能知道这一点。这一教训至关重要,这也是为什么 Holocaust museums 与世界分享大屠杀幸存者的故事。通过睁开眼睛看到过去的罪行,他们为未来创造了一个视角;一个将我们犹太人和非犹太人联系在一起的主题,并将我们彼此联系在一起。如果我们希望真正从大屠杀中吸取教训,我们必须以历史发生时的方式与历史互动。 这就引出了最后一个关键教训,一个值得强调的教训:任何理解这段历史的人都不能容忍导致大屠杀的条件,包括对犹太人的仇恨。这个主题改变了我们,迫使我们意识到仇恨和其他对和平的风险的迹象和形式。为了利用这些知识,我们必须拒绝愤世嫉俗和冷漠。如果我们不这样做,用大屠杀幸存者和知识分子 Primo Levi 的话说,我们可能会让纳粹分子赢得死后的胜利。为了防止这种情况发生,我们必须了解这段历史,了解它与我们未来的相关性,并以能够引导世界走向他们应得的世界而不是他们所经历的世界的方式来纪念大屠杀的受害者和幸存者。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。

韩国检察官以受贿罪起诉前总统文在寅 Latest News

韩国检察官以受贿罪起诉前总统文在寅

(SeaPRwire) - 韩国首尔—— 韩国检察官周四以受贿罪起诉前自由派总统文在寅,称一家廉价航空公司在文在寅执政期间给了他的女婿一份待遇丰厚的无须上班的职位。 文在寅的被起诉,使他加入了韩国领导人的长长名单,这些领导人在任期结束时或离任后都面临审判或丑闻。 检察官称,文在寅在2017年至2022年担任总统期间,从 Thai Eastar Jet 廉价航空公司的创始人李相稷处收受了总计2.17亿韩元(151,705美元)的贿赂,形式为2018年至2020年期间向文在寅当时的(前)女婿提供的工资、住房费用和其他经济援助。 韩国媒体报道称,文在寅的女儿和她的丈夫于2021年离婚。 全州地方检察厅在一份声明中表示,李相稷也因向文在寅行贿和犯有背信罪而被起诉。 检察官办公室表示,文在寅的前女婿在李相稷的泰国公司被聘为总监级员工,尽管他没有航空业的工作经验。该办公室表示,他只在泰国公司的办公室待了很短的时间,并且只承担了次要的职责,同时声称自己在韩国远程工作。 检察官办公室表示,他们没有发现文在寅为曾在文在寅竞选团队工作的李相稷提供政治帮助的证据,但李相稷可能期望他的帮助得到回报。 后来,李相稷被任命为国家资助的 Korea SME and Startups Agency 的负责人,并被文在寅的政党提名为议员候选人,但检察官办公室表示,尚未发现任何证据表明文在寅帮助李相稷赢得了这些职位。 文在寅方面没有立即回应。 文在寅的被起诉发生在韩国将于6月3日选举新总统以接替因强行实施戒严而下台的保守派总统尹锡悦之前。目前尚不清楚文在寅的被起诉是否会影响自由派重新赢得总统职位的希望。 观察人士表示,由于保守派因尹锡悦的下台而陷入混乱,自由派总统候选人被普遍看好赢得选举,尽管李相稷也面临腐败和其他指控的刑事审判。 过去的大多数韩国总统在任期的最后几个月或离任后都卷入了丑闻。2017年,韩国首位女总统朴槿惠因爆炸性的腐败丑闻被免职并逮捕。 朴槿惠的保守派前任李明博在卸任多年后也因一系列罪行被捕。文在寅的朋友和前自由派总统卢武铉在2009年因其家人受到腐败调查而跳楼身亡。 文在寅最出名的是他推动与竞争对手朝鲜和解,他曾三次会见朝鲜领导人金正恩,并促成了金正恩与唐纳德·特朗普总统之间的高风险核外交的开始。 文在寅的支持者称赞他实现了与朝鲜的停滞不前的合作,并避免了重大武装冲突,但反对者表示,他是一位天真的朝鲜同情者,最终帮助朝鲜争取时间在面对国际制裁和压力的情况下推进其核计划。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。

XPrize 获奖者 Mati Carbon 如何帮助农民和地球 Latest News

XPrize 获奖者 Mati Carbon 如何帮助农民和地球

(SeaPRwire) - Mati Carbon 有一个雄心勃勃的目标:到 2040 年从大气中移除 1 亿吨二氧化碳,并在此过程中帮助全球南方 1 亿农民。 这家公司目前在印度农场运营,并计划扩展到赞比亚和坦桑尼亚,它刚刚朝着实现其目标迈出了一步。在经过一场为期四年的全球竞赛后,该竞赛邀请各团队提出并展示一种碳去除解决方案的扩展途径,Mati 获得了 XPrize Carbon Removal 奖,该奖项为 5000 万美元,将帮助该公司扩大其运营规模,该奖项于 4 月 23 日在 TIME100 峰会上宣布。 “该奖项本身确实试图开发新的解决方案,以补充其他气候解决方案,” XPRIZE Carbon Removal 的执行董事 Nikki Batchelor 说。“因此,我们始终首先声明,我们需要尽可能大幅度地减少排放……但现在的科学告诉我们,我们也需要同时去除碳,[并且]我们需要现在开发和完善这些技术和解决方案,以便到 2050 年世界需要以千兆吨级的规模运行时,它们能够准备就绪。” 《时代》杂志采访了 Mati 的首席执行官 Shantanu Agarwal 和首席科学官 Jake Jordan,了解他们使用的被称为增强岩石风化的技术如何提供可扩展的碳去除实践,同时改善土壤健康,并为世界各地的农民提供改变生活的支持。 本次采访经过了编辑,以使其更简洁明了。 TIME:Mati Carbon 的目标是什么? Shantanu Agarwal:Mati Carbon 开发了一种革命性的技术,可以扩大千兆吨级的碳去除规模,从而建立气候适应能力,并利用一种称为增强岩石风化的自然过程,为发展中国家可能超过 1 亿的小农户提供经济赋权。 什么是增强岩石风化?它如何融入更广泛的气候斗争? Jake Jordan:岩石风化一直在地球上发生。当雨水冲刷岩石时,岩石会分解。因此,我们正在做的是粉碎火山岩,然后将其放在我们合作的小农户的田地上。当粉碎的岩石与水和气体接触时,它就开始分解。不幸的是,我们大气中的二氧化碳含量不断上升,因此,当这种岩石变湿并被分解时,它所接触的大部分气体都是二氧化碳。当岩石同时与水和二氧化碳相互作用时,二氧化碳实际上可以化学地重新组织成碳酸氢盐的溶解相,该溶解相保留在田地中的水中,并最终排入河流、含水层或海洋,在那里可以储存数千年。这使其成为我们所说的持久二氧化碳去除。 还有一个额外的好处——当这些岩石在田地中分解时,它们会释放出包含在这些矿物质中的所有小的好东西和营养物质,最终进入农民的田地,这就是为什么我们的气候解决方案不仅可以持久地去除二氧化碳,而且实际上[帮助]了一些受气候变化影响最大、责任最小的最脆弱的农民。因此,我们认为这对我们来说是一种双赢。 X Prize 竞赛的一部分包括证明该工作可以扩大规模,每年去除千兆吨的碳。Mati Carbon 将如何做到这一点? Agarwal:对于 Mati Carbon 而言,这意味着成千上万个地点,我们称之为“基地”。每个基地服务于 5 到 10,000 名农民,我们希望在整个地球上复制这些基地,为数百万农民提供服务。因此,正如我们在向 XPRIZE 的演示中展示的那样,[有]我们在印度的三个完全商业化的基地。他们来并尽职调查了其中一个基地,以了解运营程序,我们如何实际为农民提供服务,以及农民的影响是什么。我们已经验证并向他们展示了[我们的]标准规模单位、其运营方式、成本以及如何在世界各地复制和粘贴。 碳捕获如何使小农户受益? Agarwal:最终结果是农民的生产力提高了。在典型的施肥良好的土壤中,我们看到这些农民的生产力提高了约 20-25%。在退化的土壤中,我们看到生产力提高了 50-70%……因此,这对他们产生了巨大的影响,直接体现在他们的收入方面,因为生产力提高了,而且他们能够减少农药的使用。这对于这些靠作物为生的人来说是改变游戏规则的。突然增加 30% 或 50% 的收入意味着他们可以偿还债务。他们突然可以获得更多的灌溉设备或更好的种子。这是改变生活的。 Mati Carbon 的下一步是什么? Agarwal:我们公司的成立是基于[以]农民至上。在某种程度上,我们基本上将我们的公司构建为非营利组织,并且我们选择不从风险投资基金中获取任何股权。我们基本上依赖于赠款和慈善事业来真正扩大规模,这限制了我们无法像我们希望的那样快速和尽可能多地扩展。这个 XPRIZE 本质上给了我们梦想的翅膀……并真正追逐并实现能够在未来 15 到 20 年内接触到 1 亿农民的全部使命。 您希望人们从您正在做的工作中获得什么? Agarwal:我希望这个奖项和我们正在努力做的事情能给人们带来希望,并给人们指明方向。存在可能的途径,可以帮助地球,帮助小农户,并且在经济上对于市场驱动机制是可行的。我认为 Mati Carbon 已经证明,我们可以通过我们独特的商业模式、我们独特的技术建立一个可行的企业,并与世界上最好的企业竞争并脱颖而出。我想把这种希望传递给世界,传递给其他竞争者、其他公司、其他人,我们真的需要解决摆在我们面前的问题,而不能仅仅否认它们。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。
