非洲农村地区,新的人工智能非营利组织项目旨在帮助教师和农民

(SeaPRwire) - 在过去的一年里,马拉维的农村农民一直在向一个生成式人工智能聊天机器人咨询有关他们的作物和牲畜的问题。这些农民用他们的母语奇切瓦语提问,而这个名为“Ulangizi”的应用程序则使用基于政府农业手册信息的对话式语言进行回答。“过去,我们可能要等上好几天才能让农业推广人员前来解决我们农场遇到的任何问题,”马拉维农民马龙·加莱塔说。“现在,只要轻轻一点按钮,我们就能获得所有需要的信息。” 该应用程序背后的非营利组织“机会国际”希望将类似的基于人工智能的解决方案推广到其他贫困社区。今年 2 月,“机会国际”为全球人道主义工作者举办了一个加速孵化器项目,鼓励他们提出基于人工智能的想法,并在来自微软和亚马逊等机构的导师的帮助下进行开发。10 月 30 日,“机会国际”宣布了该项目的三个获奖者:三个免费的应用程序,旨在帮助非洲农民进行作物和气候策略、教师进行课程计划以及学校领导进行行政管理。每个获奖者将获得大约 15 万美元的资金,用于在其社区试点这些应用程序,目标是在两年内覆盖数百万人口。 “机会国际”首席技术官格雷格·尼尔森希望该项目能展示人工智能的力量,为那些以前难以获得知识和专业知识的人创造公平的竞争环境。“自从移动电话出现以来,这是我们一生中见过的最大的民主化变革,”他说。 今年 2 月初,“机会国际”来自世界各地的员工参加了孵化器项目的头脑风暴会议,产生了超过 200 个想法。许多员工希望利用生成式人工智能的潜力来解决他们长期以来在高贫困地区为客户解决的具体问题。例如,提供针对性建议并根据特定语言和经过验证的文档进行训练的语音聊天机器人,对于识字率有限的社区尤其有用。“我们的客户永远不会使用谷歌,”尼尔森说。“现在,他们可以用自己的语言说话,并被用自己的语言回答。” 随后,排名前 20 的团队在大型科技公司导师的帮助下,并借助麻省理工学院平台的技术支持,将他们的想法转化为应用程序原型。由一个评审小组选出了三个获奖者,这些应用程序目前还没有正式名称。第一个获奖者是一款农业应用程序,希望改进“Ulangizi”。虽然“Ulangizi”提供了通用的知识,但这个应用程序将被设计为获取个性化的数据,并根据农民的耕地面积、作物历史和气候提供具体的农业建议——比如种植什么种子、何时以及使用多少肥料。 该项目的创始人之一、驻乌干达的丽贝卡·纳卡瓦表示,该应用程序实时了解气候模式的能力至关重要。“当我们去农民那里时,我们认为最大的问题是定价,”她说。“但我们非常惊讶,因为他们告诉我们,他们最大的问题是气候:找到应对不同气候变化的方法。我们知道,有了人工智能,这是可以实现的。”她希望在明年夏天,在卢旺达和马拉维的种植季节开始之前,这款应用程序能够投入使用。 第二个应用程序帮助教师开发适合学生个性的课程计划。该应用程序由在加纳农村学校任教的洛迪娜·奥曼亨·吉马领导。她发现,教师面临着资源严重缺乏和如何满足不同年龄和学习方式学生的课堂需求方面的知识不足的问题。她的应用程序允许教师输入关于学生学习方式的信息,然后根据国家学校课程生成课程计划。奥曼亨·吉马希望在下一个学年之前,在加纳和乌干达的教室中推广该应用程序。 第三个应用程序旨在帮助各地区的学校领导者,从教师招聘到市场营销到行为管理等各个方面。前肯尼亚教师安妮·尼吉尼希望该应用程序能够成为“学校领导者的口袋里的伙伴,为他们提供实时的解决方案和想法。”“机会国际”表示,该应用程序已准备好推广到 20,000 所学校,可能覆盖 600 万名学生。 这些应用程序的成功还远未得到保证。农村地区的人们往往缺乏智能手机或移动网络连接。(“机会国际”的一位代表表示,这些应用程序将被设计为离线使用。)对于人工智能的新用户来说,学习曲线非常陡峭,而且模型有时会给出错误的答案,这在教育环境中可能是个问题。尼尔森希望,在特定数据集上训练这些人工智能,并与客户一起训练,能够产生更好、更准确的结果。 尼尔森的目标是,孵化器项目每年推出三款基于人工智能的应用程序。但这取决于慈善家和企业合作伙伴的资金。(“机会国际”拒绝透露迄今为止为该项目筹集了多少资金。) 这三个获奖应用程序的创始人都相信,他们已经找到了一个变革性的现实生活中的人工智能应用场景,而这个行业的实际影响力往往被过分炒作所夸大。“我们不只是因为人工智能很流行,每个人都在做,所以才喜欢用它,”奥曼亨·吉马说。“我们身处一线。我们每天都在与这些客户合作,我们知道他们需要什么。”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。

Eisai Presents Data on Benefits of Long-Term Administration of Dual-Acting Lecanemab at the 17th Clinical Trials for Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) Conference JCN Newswire

Eisai Presents Data on Benefits of Long-Term Administration of Dual-Acting Lecanemab at the 17th Clinical Trials for Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) Conference

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct 31, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. and Biogen Inc. announced today that the latest findings for lecanemab-irmb (U.S. brand name: LEQEMBI®), an anti-amyloid beta (Aβ) protofibril* antibody for the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease (AD), were presented at the Clinical Trials for Alzheimer's Disease Conference (CTAD), held in Madrid, Spain, and virtually.Benefits of Continued Treatment with Lecanemab for People with Early ADIn July 2024 at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) 2024, results from the open-label long-term extension study (OLE) following the core study of the lecanemab Phase 3 Clarity AD study were presented, showing that the mean change from baseline in CDR-SB (global cognitive and functional scale) in the lecanemab treated group relative to the placebo group was -0.45 at 18 months, and at 36 months, this expanded to -0.95 compared to a prespecified natural history** cohort of AD. There was a 30% reduction in the relative risk of progressing to the next disease stage In addition, the tau PET substudy of the lecanemab Phase 3 Clarity AD clinical study showed that with three (3) years of continuous treatment with lecanemab, 59% of patients with no or low tau accumulation in the brain (no tau/low tau) at baseline showed improvement or no decline, and 51% showed improvement from baseline on the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) global cognitive and functional scale.1Clarity AD data presented at CTAD expand on these initial results to include additional measurements resulting from three (3) years of continuous lecanemab treatment in patients with low levels of amyloid accumulation in the brain at baseline (less than 60 Centiloids: low amyloid). These data show that 46% of patients improved or had no decline, and 33% showed improvement from baseline on the CDR-SB. On the ADAS-Cog14 measurement scale, 46% of patients showed improvement or no decline and 43% showed improvement. On the ADCS MCI-ADL, 51% of patients showed improvement or no decline and 48% showed improvement. These results – from no tau/low tau population and low amyloid populations – suggest that earlier initiation of lecanemab treatment may have a positive impact on disease progression of early AD patients and may provide continued benefits to patients with early AD over the long term.2No new safety findings were observed with continued lecanemab treatment over three (3) years. Most amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) occurred in the first six (6) months of treatment. After the first six (6) months, ARIA rates were low and similar to ARIA rates on placebo during the placebo- controlled period. With regards to the incidence of ARIA by ApoEε4 status during the continuous treatment, the incidence was higher in ApoE4 homozygotes than in heterozygotes or non-carriers, but rates of new ARIA were decreased after the completion of the 18 months core study as treatment continued, regardless of ApoEε4 status.2Correlation between Protofibrils and Biomarkers for Neurodegenerative Disease in the AD Brain Dual-acting lecanemab is the only early AD treatment available to support neuronal function by clearing the highly toxic protofibrils that continue to cause neuronal injury and death even after plaques have been cleared from the brain. Protofibrils accumulate early in the AD brain and lead to nerve cell function loss, abnormal nerve processes, inflammation, and memory loss. In non-clinical studies, antibodies against protofibrils prevented protofibril-mediated neuronal dysfunction and memory loss.Accurately quantifying the amount of protofibrils in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been challenging due to their low concentration. As such, a new measurement method was developed by researchers at Eisai to accurately quantify protofibrils in CSF.Utilizing this new method of measurement, the amount of protofibrils in AD CSF correlated more strongly with neurodegenerative disease biomarkers (CSF total tau and neurogranin) than with CSF Aβ42, a biomarker associated with Aβ plaques accumulation, indicating that protofibrils are closely related to synaptic dysfunction. Furthermore, it was observed that protofibrils, unlike plaques, are diffusible. These results suggest that protofibrils induce synaptic dysfunction, playing an important role in neurodegeneration in AD brains.3Lecanemab Treatment for Early AD: Insights from Long-Term U.S. Clinical StudiesDr. Marwan Noel Sabbagh, Moreno Family Chair for Alzheimer's Research and Vice Chairman for Research and Professor, Department of Neurology, Barrow Neurological Institute, presented outcomes of an analysis of the use of lecanemab treatment between January 6, 2023, and July 30, 2024, based on payment claims data from the Komodo Research Database, a medical database in the U.S. In the U.S., lecanemab is used in accordance with the US FDA-approved indication, dosing, and monitoring guidelines. The analysis found that access to lecanemab treatment is expanding and highlighted opportunities to improve access in rural areas and educational outreach for underserved populations.4Dr. David Watson of the Alzheimer's Research and Treatment Center reported on patients who continued to receive lecanemab treatment following the Phase II Study 201 and Phase III Clarity AD study. A total of 136 patients participated in both studies at this center, and 66 patients chose to continue lecanemab therapy, with 13 patients receiving treatment for more than five (5) years and 40 patients receiving treatment for more than three (3) years. More than half of the patients (15/24) who continued treatment with lecanemab for more than three (3) years after the core phase remained in their initial stage of disease. Further, in a survey of 11 patients (or their caregivers) who received lecanemab treatment for more than five (5) years, all patients responded that they were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with lecanemab treatment. In addition, between 45% and 73% of patients responded that lecanemab treatment made them feel more positive about their daily life, social activities, memory, etc. "frequently" or "very often."5No new long-term safety findings were observed in these multi-year studies.5Progress in the AHEAD 3-45 Study: Improving Screening Eligibility Using Blood Biomarkers and Completing Patient EnrollmentAHEAD 3-45 is a Phase 3 clinical study for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically unimpaired but have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains. In the study, blood tests, cognitive function tests (PACC-5***), amyloid PET, MRI, and tau PET were used for screening. Based on the amount of Aβ accumulation in the brain as determined by amyloid PET, subjects were assigned to two (2) trials with different dose settings: the A3 trial, for those with borderline Aβ levels in the brain, and the A45 trial, for those with positive Aβ levels in the brain.6Screening with blood biomarker tests was important to improve eligibility for amyloid PET testing in subjects without cognitive impairment. Using plasma Aβ42/40 ratio and p-tau217/tau217 ratio in theinitial screening reduced screening failure on amyloid PET from more than 70% to less than 30%. In particular, plasma p-tau217 was shown to correlate with amyloid PET, supporting its role as a useful blood biomarker to identify elevated amyloid in the brain.6Enrollment for the AHEAD 3-45 study was completed in October 2024.Lifetime Achievement Award Presented to Professor LannfeltProfessor Emeritus Lars Lannfelt of Uppsala University received the CTAD Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his pioneering work in scientific discovery and drug development in AD. As part of this award ceremony, he delivered a keynote speech outlining the discovery of the arctic mutation in familial AD, its application to therapeutic strategies targeting protofibrils for AD treatment, and the development of lecanemab.Eisai serves as the lead for lecanemab’s development and regulatory submissions globally with both Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision- making authority.*Protofibrils are believed to contribute to the brain injury that occurs with AD and are considered to be the most toxic form of Aβ, having a primary role in the cognitive decline of this progressive, debilitating condition.7 Protofibrils cause injury to neurons in the brain which, in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function through multiple mechanisms, not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells. It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may prevent the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.8**ADNI is a clinical research project launched in 2005 to develop methods to predict the onset of AD and to confirm the effectiveness of treatments. The ADNI observational cohort was pre-specified and used during the design of Clarity AD. The cohort represents the exact population of those in Clarity AD study; matched ADNI participants show similar degree of decline to placebo group out to 18 months.***PACC-5 is a composite measure that provides a highly sensitive measure of changes in cognitive function in individuals with preclinical AD.About lecanemab (LEQEMBI®)Lecanemab is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. It is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma 1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ). Lecanemab is approved in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Great Britain. Eisai has also submitted applications for approval of lecanemab in 10 countries and regions, including the European Union (EU).LEQEMBI’s approvals in these countries were based on Phase 3 data from Eisai’s, global Clarity AD clinical trial, in which it met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results. The primary endpoint was the global cognitive and functional scale, Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB). In the Clarity AD clinical trial, treatment with lecanemab reduced clinical decline on CDR-SB by 27% at 18 months compared to placebo.9,10 The mean CDR- SB score at baseline was approximately 3.2 in both groups. The adjusted least-squares mean change from baseline at 18 months was 1.21 with lecanemab and 1.66 with placebo (difference, −0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.67 to −0.23; P

(SeaPRwire) - 今年夏天,在接到民主党总统候选人提名电话后,哈里斯立即行动起来,身穿霍华德大学的连帽衫,开始打电话拉票。 这件连帽衫不仅仅是副总统母校的象征,它也是她竞选历史意义的象征。如果哈里斯赢得选举,她将不仅是美国历史上第一位女总统,而且也是第一位从黑人历史悠久的大学(HBCU)毕业担任此职位的总统。 哈里斯于 1982 年进入霍华德大学,获得了经济学和政治学学士学位。她一直将霍华德大学的时光称为她的“ formative years”,是她第一次发现对政治的热爱。“对我来说,霍华德是我的家,”哈里斯在 2021 年 1 月的一篇 Instagram 帖子中写道,回忆起她第一次竞选学生职位和积极参与学生活动的经历。“霍华德教会我,虽然你经常会发现你是房间里唯一一个看起来像你的人,或者是你唯一一个拥有过你所经历过的人,但你必须记住:你永远不会孤单。” 霍华德大学是美国大约 107 所 HBCU 之一。虽然许多 HBCU 都面临着资金短缺的问题,但哈里斯利用她在白宫的平台支持这些机构。今年早些时候,哈里斯邀请了霍华德大学的男子篮球队前往白宫,她说投资 HBCU 就是“对我们国家未来多年的实力的投资”。 这种支持是双向的:根据 The Collective PAC 的数据,一个名为“Bison for Kamala”的政治行动委员会(PAC),以霍华德大学的吉祥物命名,由该组织组织,该组织致力于增加黑人在政治中的代表性,截至 10 月 20 日,已经为哈里斯的竞选筹集了 250,000 美元。 多年来,哈里斯一直坚定地支持霍华德大学。2017 年,她宣誓就任加州参议员的那一年,她为该大学的毕业典礼发表了演讲。在她的演讲中,她敦促毕业生开辟自己的道路,并提醒他们霍华德大学“鼓励我们——期望我们——运用我们的声音。” 哈里斯还提到了许多霍华德大学的著名校友,这些校友激励了她——在她的 2019 年回忆录《我们拥有的真理》中,她写道,她决定去霍华德大学,因为她希望自己的职业生涯“有一个良好的开端。还有什么地方比瑟古德·马歇尔的母校更好的地方呢?” 并且,在 2019 年,她正式宣布她将在霍华德大学竞选总统。“一切都是从这里开始的,”她说。(后来她在 2020 年民主党初选中退出竞选,然后被选为现任总统乔·拜登的竞选搭档。) 在她寻求成为美国第一位女总统之际,哈里斯的职业生涯已经充满了第一次——她成为加州历史上第一位非裔美国人和第一位女检察长,以及美国历史上第二位非裔美国人和第一位南亚裔参议员。她将这些成就归功于她在霍华德大学的学习经历。她在 2017 年的毕业典礼演讲中说:“霍华德大学教会我,就像它教给你们一样,你们可以做任何事,你们可以做任何事。”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。

Beginner’s Guide to Travel Credit Cards ACN Newswire

Beginner’s Guide to Travel Credit Cards

SINGAPORE, Oct 31, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Whether you're a frequent business traveller who's always on the go or a world explorer looking for your next adventure, a travel credit card can be a great way to make the best of your trips. The right travel credit card can enhance your travel experiences by offering opportunities to earn rewards, redeem rewards on travel expenses, access discounts and deals, and get perks and benefits like lounge access and travel insurance. Learn all about travel credit cards, what they can do for you and how to choose the right one in our guide below.What is a travel credit card?You may have heard of credit cards that offer discounts and savings on fuel, groceries or shopping. A travel credit card is a type of credit card that offers perks and rewards that make travel smooth and convenient. While the exact reward programs differ from one card to the next, what most miles credit cards have in common is that they grant users benefits and redemption opportunities specifically linked to travel.A travel credit card is a great way to turn everyday spending into travel rewards. Generally, a miles credit card or travel card will let you earn points, miles, or cashback on purchases, which you can redeem for travel-related expenses like flight tickets, hotel stays, car rentals, and more. Over time, savvy cardmembers may accumulate enough rewards to cover the full cost of a small vacation. Many travel credit cards also include benefits like complimentary lounge access, travel insurance, and exclusive discounts with partner airlines and hotels.Pros and Cons of a Travel Credit CardProsEarning points and miles: Your miles credit card helps you earn rewards on eligible purchases. If you use your credit card regularly for eligible purchases, your points or miles can add up quickly and bring you significant savings on your next trip.Sign-up bonuses: In addition to regular rewards, your card may offer a welcome bonus that lets you earn a significant number of points/miles if you meet certain spending criteria. These bonuses can provide a great boost to your rewards balance right from the start.Access to Airport Lounges: Your travel credit card may also include complimentary access to airport lounges, allowing you to enjoy a more relaxed travel experience with amenities like refreshments and comfortable seating before your flight.ConsHigh annual fees: Travel credit cards with good benefits may carry higher annual fees than regular cards. You'll need to review the costs and benefits associated with your credit card to decide if the travel benefits are worth the annual fee.Complex rewards systems: Rewards programs are only useful if you know how to use them well. It might take some time and effort to fully understand how to maximize your rewards.How to Choose a Travel Credit CardWhen choosing a travel or miles credit card in Singapore, consider your travel habits and preferences. Start by considering how often you travel. A card with a high fee may be worth it for frequent fliers, but if you only take one or two trips a year, seek out a card with a low or no annual fee with points that don't expire. You'll need to consider what benefits matter to you. Do you value lounge access, or is travel insurance more important? Choose a card that offers benefits that match your needs. Lastly, look for a rewards program that fits in with your lifestyle. If you spend a lot on dining and shopping, look for a card that offers higher rewards in those categories. Additionally, carefully review the points/redemption process before you apply for a travel credit card. A complex redemption process can be off-putting especially if there are many limits placed on redemption.Notice:Opinions, analyses, reviews, or recommendations expressed in this article are those of the select editorial staff's alone, and have not been reviewed, approved, or otherwise endorsed by any third party.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Eisai Presents Latest Clinical Findings Suggesting Inhibition of Tau Propagation by Anti-MTBR Tau Antibody E2814 at the 17th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease Conference (CTAD) JCN Newswire

Eisai Presents Latest Clinical Findings Suggesting Inhibition of Tau Propagation by Anti-MTBR Tau Antibody E2814 at the 17th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease Conference (CTAD)

TOKYO, Oct 31, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co. Ltd announced today that the latest findings on anti-MTBR (microtubule binding region) tau antibody E2814 were presented at the 17th annual Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) conference, held in Madrid, Spain, and virtually. Eisai also announced initiation of a Phase II study (Study 202) on E2814 for sporadic early Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).Impact of the anti-MTBR tau antibody E2814 on tau pathology biomarkers in Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer’s Disease (DIAD)E2814 is an investigational anti-MTBR tau antibody designed to target the MTBR of tau. In AD patients, neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) are a pathological hallmark, and they are believed to spread through synaptically connected pathways in the brain, forming the tau propagation hypothesis. It is thought that tau propagation is drivenby the specific tau species containing MTBR, tau seeds that spread tau pathology to different brain regions important for cognition and function.Eisai conducted a Phase I/II clinical study (Study 103, NCT04971733; 7 participants) of the anti-MTBR tau antibody E2814 in patients with Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer’s Disease (DIAD) beginning in June 2021. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of E2814 in DIAD patients, with a primary objective of assessing the target engagement of E2814 with MTBR-tau species in their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In addition, pharmacodynamicevaluation was performed using multiple biomarkers related to AD tau pathology. In the study, DIAD patients withclinical symptoms were administered E2814 for 12 to 24 months. Data from the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Observational Study (DIAN-obs), an observational cohort of DIAD, were used as references to evaluate biomarkers changes in E2814 treatment.Compared to the reference data from DIAN-obs, patients who received E2814 showed approximately 75% and 50% reductions of CSF MTBR-tau243 and p-tau217, respectively, reflecting tau pathophysiology. Additionally, braintau accumulation observed by tau PET was stabilized or trended toward decrease in DIAD subjects administered E2814. These results suggest that E2814 inhibited tau propagation and suppressed the accumulation of tau aggregates in brains of people living with DIAD. This will be further investigated in the ongoing Phase II/III Tau NexGen study (NCT05269394) with DIAD patients and the Phase II 202 study (NCT06602258) with sporadic early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients.Initiation of Phase II clinical study (Study 202)In September 2024, Eisai initiated a Phase II clinical study (Study 202) for individuals with early AD in the United States. The study is also scheduled to be conducted in Japan in the future. This study is a placebo- controlled,double-blind, parallel-group, dose exploration study, evaluating the safety, tolerability, and biomarker efficacy of E2814 in people living with early AD receiving lecanemab as a backbone anti-Aβ therapy.Eisai positions neurology as a key therapeutic area, and it will continue to create innovation in the development of novel medicines based on cutting-edge neurology research as it seeks to contribute further to improving the benefits of affected individuals and their families in diseases with high unmet needs, such as dementia including AD.This release discusses investigational uses of agents in development and is not intended to convey conclusionsabout efficacy or safety. There is no guarantee that such investigational agents will successfully complete clinical development or gain health authority approval.About E2814An investigational anti-microtubule binding region (MTBR) tau antibody, E2814 is being developed as a disease- modifying agent for tauopathies including sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Phase I clinical studies are underway. E2814 was discovered as part of the research collaboration between Eisai and University College London. E2814 is designed to prevent the spreading of tau seeds within the brains of affected individuals. In addition, E2814 has been selected as an anti-tautherapy in a Phase II/III Tau NexGen study for the treatment of DIAD, conducted by DIAN-TU led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is underway.Biomarkers related to AD tau pathologyAs fluid biomarkers related to AD tau pathology, tau containing the residue 243 (MTBR-tau243) and tau phosphorylated at theresidue 217 (p-tau217) in CSF have been reported.1 In addition, positron emission tomography (tau PET), which specifically detects tau aggregates, is used as an imaging biomarker. These biomarkers are included in the Revised criteria for diagnosis and staging of Alzheimer's disease published by the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) in June 2024.2(1) Horie K, et al.

旅行信用卡初学者指南 ACN Newswire

旅行信用卡初学者指南

新加坡, 2024年10月31日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 无论您是经常出差的商务旅行者,还是寻找下一个冒险的全球探索者,旅行信用卡都可以让您的旅行更加充实。合适的旅行信用卡不仅可以帮助您赚取奖励,还可以将奖励用于旅行开销,享受折扣和优惠,并获得诸如贵宾室通道和旅行保险等福利。通过我们的指南,了解旅行信用卡的所有信息、它能为您带来什么,以及如何选择合适的旅行信用卡。什么是旅行信用卡?您可能听说过一些信用卡提供燃油、杂货或购物方面的折扣和优惠。旅行信用卡是一种专门提供与旅行相关的优惠和奖励的信用卡,使旅行更顺畅、更便捷。尽管每种卡的奖励计划有所不同,但大多数旅行信用卡的共同点在于,它们为用户提供特定于旅行的福利和兑换机会。旅行信用卡是将日常消费转化为旅行奖励的好方法。一般而言,旅行信用卡或里程卡允许您在消费时赚取积分、里程或返现,并将其用于旅行相关的开销,如机票、酒店住宿、汽车租赁等。通过长期累积,精明的持卡人甚至可以积攒足够的奖励来支付一小次度假旅行的全部费用。许多旅行信用卡还包括免费贵宾室通行、旅行保险和与合作航空公司及酒店的独家折扣等福利。旅行信用卡的优缺点优点赚取积分和里程:使用里程信用卡可以在符合条件的消费中赚取奖励。如果您经常使用信用卡进行符合条件的消费,积分或里程将很快积累,为您的下一次旅行带来显著节省。开卡奖励:除了常规奖励外,您的信用卡还可能提供开卡奖励。如果您满足一定的消费条件,便可获得大量积分或里程。这些奖励可以从一开始就大大增加您的积分余额。机场贵宾室通行:您的旅行信用卡可能还包含免费机场贵宾室通行,让您在飞行前享受更放松的旅行体验,包括饮品、点心和舒适的座椅等设施。缺点高年费:拥有良好福利的旅行信用卡的年费通常高于普通信用卡。您需要权衡信用卡的费用与收益,以决定旅行福利是否值得支付高额年费。复杂的奖励系统:奖励计划只有在您会使用时才有用。可能需要花费一些时间和精力来充分理解如何最大化您的奖励。如何选择旅行信用卡在新加坡选择旅行或里程信用卡时,需考虑您的旅行习惯和偏好。首先,评估您的旅行频率。对于常常出行的旅客来说,高年费的信用卡可能是值得的,但如果您每年仅旅行一到两次,最好选择年费较低或无年费且积分不会过期的卡。还要考虑哪些福利对您更重要。您是否看重贵宾室通行,或认为旅行保险更重要?选择能够满足您需求的信用卡。最后,寻找适合您生活方式的奖励计划。如果您在餐饮和购物上花费较多,寻找一张在这些类别中提供更高奖励的信用卡。此外,在申请旅行信用卡前,仔细查看积分/兑换流程。复杂的兑换流程可能会让人望而却步,特别是当兑换受到多种限制时。本文中所表达的意见、分析、评论或建议仅代表特定编辑团队的个人观点,未经过任何第三方的审查、批准或其他形式的认可。媒体联系:姓名: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.com职位名称: 经理来源: iQuanti, Inc.

英特尔财报发布前的股票分析

(SeaPRwire) - 随着英特尔公司 (NASDAQ: INTC) 的财报发布临近,华尔街分析师对该股的未来走势持不同看法。分析师密切关注英特尔的战略转变,特别是其专注于推进芯片技术以从 AMD 和 Nvidia 等竞争对手手中夺回市场份额。该公司创新和执行其路线图的能力将是决定其财务表现和投资者信心的关键。 英特尔一直在大力投资研发,以赶上快速发展的半导体行业。该公司的战略举措包括扩大其制造能力,并利用其 IDM 2.0 战略来提高生产效率。这些努力旨在满足汽车、数据中心和消费电子等各个行业对半导体的日益增长的需求。 尽管做出了这些努力,但英特尔仍然面临着来自在技术和市场渗透方面取得重大进展的竞争对手的激烈竞争。例如,AMD 的高性能处理器获得了市场认可,而 Nvidia 继续主导 GPU 市场。英特尔应对这些挑战并提供具有竞争力的产品的能力将是影响其股票表现的关键因素。 财务分析师对英特尔即将公布的财报看法不一。一些人认为,该公司的战略投资将带来回报,从而带来积极的财务结果。另一些人则持谨慎态度,理由是供应链中断和地缘政治紧张局势等潜在障碍,这些障碍可能会影响生产和销售。 英特尔的股价近几个月波动不定,反映了投资者对其未来前景的不确定性。该公司的管理层一直积极与投资界互动,提供其进展的最新信息并解决对其竞争地位的担忧。这些努力旨在恢复投资者信心,并突出该公司长期的增长潜力。 随着财报日临近,投资者将密切关注英特尔的财务业绩以及管理层对未来的展望。收入增长、利润率和资本支出等关键指标将提供该公司运营效率和战略方向的见解。此外,任何有关合作伙伴关系或新产品发布的公告都可能影响市场情绪和股票表现。 总之,英特尔即将发布的财报对于该公司及其投资者而言至关重要。尽管挑战仍然存在,但该公司的战略举措和对创新的关注可能会为其成功转型铺平道路。分析师和投资者将密切关注事态发展,以评估英特尔应对竞争环境和推动未来增长的能力。 脚注: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。 分析师对英特尔在市场中的地位有不同的看法。

带我的委内瑞拉母亲去投票让我意识到美国面临的风险 Latest News

带我的委内瑞拉母亲去投票让我意识到美国面临的风险

(SeaPRwire) - Emi,我的妈妈,已经准备好了。她打印了一份样票,并在上面填上了她的选择。她称之为“chuleta”,这是委内瑞拉孩子们在考试时使用的作弊纸条。三页的候选人和提案,从……到社区大学管理委员会。 我71岁的母亲,拿着她的“chuleta”,放在一个牛皮纸信封的上面,胸前紧紧地抱着,在 Wheatsville 排队投票,Wheatsville 是我们当地的奥斯汀杂货店,现在变成了投票站。信封里是她带来的选民登记卡和入籍公民文件。我告诉过她,她只需要带驾驶证,但她坚持——她想备好证明,以防万一出现问题。 她今年早些时候,在德克萨斯州的一个炎热的二月天,才刚刚成为美国公民。在奥斯汀法院宣誓效忠后,她成为了美国公民。我和我的妻子布里塔尼,我们六个月大的女儿奥娜,还有我的父亲曼努埃尔,以及数百其他人的家庭成员,都作为入籍宣誓的见证人出席了仪式。仪式快结束时,法官喊出了那些渴望成为美国公民的人代表的国家。我担心这会让人感觉像是一种抹杀:你不再是尼日利亚人、巴基斯坦人、厄瓜多尔人、老挝人、加拿大人、委内瑞拉人。但这感觉像是欢迎,你就是你,你来自哪里,你现在也是这里的一部分。在人们容易对伟大的美国实验感到悲观的时候,这个仪式让人感觉像是吸了一口气新鲜空气。 我们的提前投票地点人很多,排队的人至少有30个。水银温度计已经达到90度以下,创下了10月下旬的记录。但似乎没有人介意。一位母亲和她十几岁的儿子站在我们面前。我很好奇他是否已经18岁,也许这是他第一次投票。但他的胡子太稀疏了,青春痘太多了。只是一位母亲带着她的儿子一起去投票。 在过去的几个月里,我一直在为我的处女作小说《》进行巡回宣传,小说讲述了一个委内瑞拉家庭被一个似乎决心让其公民生活尽可能艰难的国家撕裂的故事。在图书活动中,我经常朗读我称之为“选举场景”的部分。那是1998年,委内瑞拉即将选举左翼领导人,这位候选人已经能够利用多年来,几十年来,也许甚至从委内瑞拉建国开始就困扰着委内瑞拉的不平等现象,来利用民众的不满情绪。我的角色,艾米莉亚,年轻时是一名游击队员,现在已经60多岁了,身患癌症。她知道这是她最后一次投票。在女儿的帮助下,她们到达了投票站,带着她六岁的孙子埃洛伊。艾米莉亚带着埃洛伊进了投票亭,向他展示了如何投票。他将投给查韦斯的选票放入投票箱。我们现在都知道查韦斯的承诺最终变成了什么。在25年的查韦斯党执政后,委内瑞拉被所有人,除了极端分子,都认为是一个可怕的独裁政权。就在今年七月,继续让尼古拉斯·马杜罗(查韦斯的继任者)执政,并引发了暴力和,导致至少数十人死亡,数千人被错误地监禁。 尽管如此,那个场景也许是我整本书中最喜欢的场景。它与其中的纯粹性有关。仅仅是一个祖母带着她的孙子第一次体验民主。就像我们面前的母亲和儿子,走向他们的投票机。在某种程度上,就像我和我的母亲一样。 几个月来,特朗普一直将委内瑞拉人当作吓唬人的东西。小心!委内瑞拉黑帮已经接管了科罗拉多州的公寓楼。当心!委内瑞拉政府正在搜捕罪犯,并将他们送到美墨边境,以渗透我们。这些 正在找到一个受欢迎的受众。甚至我自己的许多在美国生活的委内瑞拉人社区,也正在转向特朗普。很难理解他们怎么会对特朗普与查韦斯和马杜罗的相似之处视而不见。他们可能站在政治光谱的两端,但他们都是威权主义的民粹主义者。我最大的担心是,如果特朗普获胜,我们将加速、系统地削弱我们的民主。 一点一点地;一次一个最高法院大法官;对《投票权法案》进行一点侵蚀,对《民权法案》进行一点侵蚀;几项新的立法;几项政策之后;我们会发现自己身处一个选举不再像以前那样公平的国家。入籍宣誓仪式上不再有像雷斯特雷波、阿德耶米、赵或法鲁克这样的名字。女性将 为了挽救生命的程序,如果它与子宫有任何关系。我听到美国人说:“那不可能发生在这里。我们有护栏。我们有制度。” 我以前也听说过。我记得家人和朋友说委内瑞拉永远不会“变成古巴”。现在我们在这里, 和。我可以说,它从来都不是一个单一的开关。你不会在一天内失去民主。这是一步一步的。无论是在位与否,特朗普在政治舞台上已经有了八年时间,手里拿着凿子。他想要再执政四年,我们都知道他之后还想执政更多时间。 但希望仍然存在。和我的妈妈一起去投票仍然感觉像民主。用她带着口音的英语,她告诉选举工作人员这是她第一次在美国投票。他们为她欢呼。这让我心花怒放,我流下了眼泪,正如我们在委内瑞拉所说。我妈妈对操作 很紧张,所以当选举工作人员问她是否需要我的帮助时,她说需要。他们让我背诵了助理宣誓词,并签署了一份表格,承诺尊重和保护她的投票,不受任何影响。 我差点笑出来。她养育了我——也许仍然在养育我,因为什么时候结束呢——做一个好人,一个好公民。如果有任何影响力,那就是她和我父亲的影响力,他们多年来用言行举止向我展示了为自己的国家而战的意义。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。

Military Metals Enters Definitive Agreement to Acquire European Union Antimony Deposits ACN Newswire

Military Metals Enters Definitive Agreement to Acquire European Union Antimony Deposits

Two Antimony and One Tin Project in SlovakiaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 30, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") is pleased to announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with 1509149 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 1458205 B.C. Ltd. (the "Target"), and the controlling shareholder of the Target pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Target (the "Target Shares") by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Amalgamation")."As we acquire this premier antimony project in Slovakia with historical resources, we're taking a transformative step to strengthen Europe's access to essential raw materials. With a well established, rich mineral base, this brownfield site enables us to work towards a reliable domestic antimony supply when Europe faces mounting supply chain pressures," said CEO Scott Eldridge. "This acquisition reflects our commitment to reducing reliance on Chinese imports, ensuring stability for the European market, and empowering the West to drive a more resilient, self-sufficient future for critical materials."About the TargetThe Target owns three brownfield projects in Slovakia. Of the three projects, Trojarova is the most advanced ("Trojarova"). Located in western Slovakia, it potentially hosts one of the European Union's most significant known primary antimony deposits. 63 holes were historically completed into the deposit during the 1980-1900s over a strike length of 1.5 kilometers, along with nearly 1.7 kilometers of underground workings; the deposit hosts historical (non-compliant) antimony and accessory gold resources classified in the Soviet era Russian classification system.Additionally, Military has acquired both a tin and second antimony property in Slovakia. The tin property ("Medvedi-Potok"), likewise features significant historical drilling, underground development, and features a historical (non-compliant) tin resource. The Tiennesgrund antimony property features over two dozen small underground workings along its 10-kilometer length where historical production is reported.Consideration for the acquisition of 100% of the Target Shares comprises 10,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Company Shares"), at a deemed issuance price of $0.56 per Company Share, valued at a sum of CAD $5.6 million. The Company will also assume the Target's obligations in respect of its outstanding share purchase warrants, which will provide holders the right to acquire up to 3,499,997 Company Shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share."The Trojarova antimony project is potentially one of Europe's most significant primary antimony deposits. We've experienced an unprecedented rise in the antimony price increasing from $11,000 USD per tonne, to a current spot of approximately $34,000. Increased trade wars and geopolitical tensions have placed stronger importance on this strategic metal with multiple applications," said CEO Scott Eldridge. "The EU's Critical Raw Materials Act has opened multiple financing sources from local European institutions to foster the development of strategic metals within Europe's boarders."Antimony, a vital component in everything from battery technologies to advanced military applications such as night vision and infrared sensors, is classified as a critical mineral by the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. Currently, over 90% of global antimony reserves are concentrated in China, Russia, and Tajikistan. Military seeks to target antimony with the goal of contributing to the global antimony supply, and filling a gap that is present in the ability of Western countries to obtain this critical mineral.About the ProjectsDiscovered in the late 1970s, Trojarova was the focus of extensive surface and underground exploration from 1983 to 1995, with 63 core holes for a total of 14,330m, and 1.7km of underground workings completed. Efforts continued over the years as additional trenches were dug and holes were drilled. Starting in 1990, underground development work began ultimately comprising a 300-meter-long adit connected to a 700-plus meter-long drive in the footwall of the mineralized zone with seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone for sampling purposes. These efforts culminated in a multi-volume study comprising drill logs, analyses, drill plans, maps and sections, deposit model studies, petrographic studies, metallurgical studies and more, culminating in a multi-volume compendium of reports produced by the Slovak Geological Institute published in 1992 (the "1992 Report"). Upon completion of the Amalgamation, the Company will move forward to verify this historical estimate by confirmation drilling so that it is able to classify mineral resources at Trojarova as current, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The historical estimate at Trojarova was classified using the Slovak version of the newly post-Soviet Russian classification system, which is not directly comparable to or compatible with the western system as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroluem ("CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves").The 1992 Report contains a table featuring 10 alternate historical resource estimates, five focused on the antimony component of the mineralized system and five on its gold component, each group of five featuring decreasing tonnage at increasing grade for antimony and gold, respectively:Historical alternate resource estimate scenarios for TrojarovaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/228324_9c2d07525482cbe0_001full.jpgThe Slovak Geological Institute, the state agency that carried out all exploration and underground development work at Trojárová, classified the resource as "P1" in the Slovak version of the Russian classification system. P1 is closest within the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum's ("CIM") classification system to "Inferred Mineral Resources," which is defined by the CIM as that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.Considerable work remains to be completed before it will be possible to classify mineralization documented at Trojarova as current mineral resources. The historical drill logs need to be translated and transcribed into a logging format suitable for resource estimation purposes. All collar locations along with the underground maps need to be digitized and georeferenced. Depending upon the assessed quality and reliability of these data, it will be possible for a resource estimation geologist to determine the extent of confirmation drilling necessary so that mineralization documented at Trojarova can be classified as current mineral resources. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Military is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.The Tiennesgrund antimony project, located in eastern Slovakia, comprises a 10-kilometer-long license covering a large, fault/shear-hosted antimony-gold vein system hosting multiple adits and a long artisanal-scale mining history. The nearby Medvedi-Potok property hosts a classic tin vein system in a greisened intrusive; it features underground workings and a historical (non-compliant) resource. Additionally, on completion of the Amalgamation, the Company will inherit a small processing facility in Slovakia owned by the Target. Its inclusion in our strategic narrative underscores our commitment to efficiency and innovation, making it a key differentiator in today's market.With global demand for antimony soaring and critical mineral supply chains becoming increasingly strained geopolitically, Military is seeking to take advantage of a strategic opportunity to acquire an asset that can fill this global demand.Map showing the location of Military's properties in SlovakiaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/228324_9c2d07525482cbe0_002full.jpgThe technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E.

气候变化如何导致睡眠不足 Latest News

气候变化如何导致睡眠不足

(SeaPRwire) - 气候变化正日益扰乱人们的睡眠。 根据《柳叶刀》杂志最新一期关于气候与健康的报告,在过去五年中,由于夜间气温过高,全球睡眠时间平均减少了 5%,而 1986 年至 2005 年的平均睡眠时间则保持不变。这是这份权威医学杂志首次对这一指标进行研究。2023 年睡眠时间减少最为严重,达到了 6%。 由 122 位全球专家撰写的第八份年度《柳叶刀应对健康与气候变化倒计时报告》发现,高温、干旱和强降雨正日益影响人们的健康。2023 年,全球因高温导致的潜在劳动力损失达到创纪录的 5120 亿小时。65 岁以上人群因高温导致的死亡人数达到历史最高水平,比 1990 年代高出 167%。 “这不是仅仅关于极端天气事件,”世界卫生组织首席科学家杰里米·法拉尔说。“这是关于一年中每个星期、每个月,以及对我们所有人健康的影响。” 在许多地方,夜间气温上升的速度快于白天气温。除了影响睡眠之外,夜间过热还会降低人体从白天高温中恢复和降温的能力,从而加剧热浪死亡,尤其是在患有心血管疾病和呼吸系统疾病的人群中。 该研究利用历史睡眠跟踪数据和温度数据,估算了不同年份夜间高温对睡眠的影响。睡眠时间减少幅度最大的是中东和撒哈拉以南非洲地区。 即使在温带气候地区,夜间过热也会因建筑设计不良而加剧,导致室内温度高于室外温度。可以改进建筑物的通风或遮阳,以减少白天升温的程度,以及热量在建筑物中的保留。预计到 2050 年,空调的使用将导致电力需求增加三倍。 睡眠不足会对注意力和生活质量产生负面影响,还会对其他健康状况产生连锁反应。拉夫堡大学建筑模拟教授凯文·洛马斯专门研究热量与睡眠之间的关系,他在英国发现,卧室温度高于约 27 摄氏度(80.6 华氏度)是人们难以自我降温的临界点。“一旦开始干扰人们的睡眠时间,其后果就不仅仅是相对微不足道的事情,”洛马斯说,他没有参与《柳叶刀》研究。“它们可能是长期的。”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。

Suzuki and Toyota to Deepen Collaboration in the Field of Electrified Vehicles

Toyota City, Japan, Oct 30, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Suzuki Motor Corporation (Suzuki) and Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) have decided to further strengthen collaboration in the supply of a battery EV (BEV) SUV model developed by Suzuki to Toyota. This new model is scheduled to be manufactured at Suzuki Motor Gujarat in India from the spring of 2025.Both Suzuki and Toyota's businesses have their roots in Enshu―the western part of Shizuoka Prefecture―and both companies took on the challenge of switching their businesses from looms to automobiles. Since Suzuki's Chairman (current Senior Advisor) Osamu Suzuki and Toyota's President (current Chairman) Akio Toyoda started exploring business partnerships in 2016, both companies have engaged in a wide-ranging collaboration, aiming to provide people with freedom of movement and fun-to-drive. The fields of collaboration are diverse and include production and mutual supply of vehicles, and the spread of electrified vehicles. As a result, the market launch of collaboration vehicles has expanded to Japan, India, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.This new development marks the first BEV in the OEM relationship between the two companies. It will be launched worldwide, providing a BEV choice even in the SUV market, which is showing remarkable growth. With this new addition, Suzuki and Toyota will further promote their respective initiatives toward realizing a carbon-neutral society.The new model was designed exclusively as a BEV. A nimble SUV with the sharp driving characteristics of a BEV, it features ample cruising range and a comfortable cabin. It is also available with a 4WD system, offering exceptional drivability on rough roads and a more powerful driving performance.The BEV unit and platform adopted for this model were jointly developed by Suzuki, Toyota, and Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd., utilizing each company's strength.Comment from Suzuki President Toshihiro Suzuki"Suzuki will supply our first BEV to Toyota globally. I am grateful that the collaboration between the two companies has further deepened in this way. While continuing to be competitors, we will deepen our collaborations toward solving social issues, including the realization of a carbon-neutral society through a multi-pathway approach."Comment from Toyota President Koji Sato"By leveraging the BEV unit and platform that we jointly developed, we will take a new step in our collaboration in the field of electrified vehicles. This will allow us to deliver various choices that contribute to a carbon-neutral society to customers worldwide. We would like to learn from each other's strengths, compete, and further joint efforts based on a multi-pathway approach."About Toyota Motor CorporationToyota Motor Corporation works to develop and manufacture innovative, safe and high-quality products and services that create happiness by providing mobility for all.
