Combating customer harassment: Fujitsu, Toyo University and Kokoro Balance Research Institute launch field trial on AI-powered training program

TOKYO, Dec 11, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited, Toyo University Incorporated Educational Institution (Toyo University) and Kokoro Balance Research Institute today announced the commencement of a field trial on December 3, 2024, to develop a Training Program for Coping with Customer Aggression. This program leverages AI and incorporates insights from criminal psychology and mental health to tackle the growing societal issue of customer harassment, i.e., unreasonable or abusive behavior directed at staff by customers and clients.The program utilizes the “AI Tool for Experiencing Customer Aggression” developed using Fujitsu's generative AI technology, behavior change support technologies and Toyo University's expertise in criminal psychology. Fujitsu’s AI tool provides interactive feedback through the use of AI avatars and clarifies actions that can be taken to enhance participants' customer harassment response skills. To evaluate the program's effectiveness, Kokoro Balance Research Institute will leverage its mental health expertise to develop new psychological scales measuring customer service skills, stress management, and overall customer harassment response capabilities. Furthermore, the research partners will carry out a field trial with call center employees at Fujitsu Communication Services Limited (CSL), analyzing changes in participants' customer service skills, stress management, engagement, and subjective productivity to ensure the program's scientific validity.The full program is targeted for launch in fiscal 2025 with the goals of reducing the psychological burden of working people in customer service roles and contributing to the creation of safe and supportive work environments.BackgroundCustomer harassment has become a serious social issue. A recent survey revealed that 46.8% of service industry workers have encountered customer harassment in the past two years, with nearly half experiencing lasting physical and mental health consequences.In response, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare added mental health issues related to customer harassment to its work-related injury recognition criteria in September 2023. Furthermore, the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly passed Japan's first customer harassment prevention ordinance in October 2024. The growing national and local government efforts are driving increased organizational responsibility for employee protection.Field Trial PeriodDecember 3, 2024 to March 31, 2025Figure 1: Overview diagram of the field trial Comment from Akiko Yamada, Head of the Converging Technologies Laboratory of Fujitsu Research, Fujitsu Limited:We have been pursuing research in converging technologies, combining cutting-edge digital technology with knowledge from humanities and social sciences to solve various social issues. This new initiative combines generative AI, behavioral change support technology, criminal psychology, and mental health expertise to tackle the significant social problem of customer harassment and secure the well-being of working people.Comment from Prof. Masayuki Kiriu, Dean, Faculty of Sociology, Toyo University:By incorporating psychological scales and stress measurement indicators into the "AI Tool for Experiencing Customer Aggression”, we expect to create a practical and effective customer harassment response training program for customer service personnel. This will significantly contribute to solving current customer harassment issues. We anticipate the emergence of new social contributions through converging technology in this pilot program.Comment from Kyoko Shimada, Representative Director, Kokoro Balance Research Institute:Customer harassment can inflict deep emotional wounds on employees. While eradication may be impossible, we can reduce its impact through organizational efforts. This research aims to strengthen organizations by focusing on employee mental health and response capabilities. By using globally recognized psychological scales and effective evaluation criteria, we aim to make this program scientifically sound, useful, and applicable for employees.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

以色列战机猛攻叙利亚,据报道军队深入叙利亚境内

以色列战机猛攻叙利亚,据报道军队深入叙利亚境内 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 叙利亚大马士革——叙利亚反对派战争监测组织周二表示,以色列发动了一波空袭,同时其军队深入叙利亚境内,距离首都不到25公里(15英里)。以色列否认其部队正在向大马士革推进。 美联社驻大马士革记者听到该市及其郊区在夜间和周二遭到猛烈的空袭。网上流传的照片显示,导弹发射器、直升机和战机被摧毁。 由叙利亚解放组织(Hayat Tahrir al-Sham,简称HTS)领导的叛乱组织——目前控制着大马士革——尚未立即发表评论。 以色列此前曾表示,在1973年中东战争后建立的缓冲区已被摧毁,它表示此举是为了防止在巴沙尔·阿萨德总统被推翻后发生袭击。 以色列还表示,它正在打击可疑的化学武器地点和重型武器,以防止它们落入极端分子手中。以色列官员很少承认个别袭击事件。 以色列长期以来在与邻国的战争中夺取领土,并以安全为由这样做。以色列在1967年中东战争中从叙利亚手中夺取了戈兰高地,并在未经国际社会承认的情况下将其吞并,美国除外。 总部位于英国的叙利亚人权观察组织密切跟踪了自内战爆发近14年以来的冲突,该组织表示,自周末叛军推翻阿萨德以来,以色列已在全国各地进行了300多次空袭。 人权观察组织和总部位于贝鲁特的Mayadeen电视台(在叙利亚有记者)表示,以色列军队正在沿着叙利亚与黎巴嫩的边界推进。目前无法独立证实这些报道。 以色列军方发言人纳达夫·肖沙尼中校表示,“媒体关于以色列坦克据称向大马士革推进的报道是错误的。” 他说,以色列军队驻扎在缓冲区内是为了保护以色列。 以色列军方此前曾表示,军队将进入缓冲区“以及其他几个对其防御必要的地区”。 与此同时,以色列媒体报道称,空军正在有条不紊地摧毁叙利亚的军事资产,以确保无论谁统治该国,都必须重建这些资产。 《以色列最大日报《耶迪奥特·阿赫罗诺特报》的军事记者约西·耶胡舒亚写道,这些行动“一直在系统地摧毁逃亡暴君军队残余的一切”。 “数十个目标,包括各种类型的武器库,都受到了袭击,以防止它们落入敌对分子手中并对以色列构成威胁。” 他补充说,空军“目前享有完全的行动自由”。 埃及、约旦和沙特阿拉伯谴责以色列的入侵,指责其利用叙利亚的混乱局面并违反国际法。 土耳其——与阿萨德对立——也谴责了以色列的推进。土耳其外交部指责以色列在叙利亚和平与稳定的可能性出现之际“表现出占领者的思维”。 联合国发言人斯蒂芬·杜雅里克周一表示,以色列的入侵构成对1974年脱离接触协议的违反,并呼吁以色列和叙利亚都遵守该协议。 ___ Mroue 从贝鲁特报道,Lidman 从以色列特拉维夫报道。美联社记者Suzan Fraser 从土耳其安卡拉对此报道做出了贡献。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。

巴西总统卢拉接受紧急脑手术后入住重症监护室

(SeaPRwire) - 圣保罗——巴西总统正在重症监护室恢复,此前他接受了脑出血手术,Sirio-Libanes医院在周二凌晨的一份声明中表示。 这名79岁的左翼领导人在10月份感到头痛后接受了手术,医生认为这是头痛的原因。 医院表示,卢拉从首都巴西利亚前往1000公里(620英里)以外的圣保罗接受治疗,“术后情况良好,正在重症监护室接受监测”,出血已被排出。 巴西总统府尚未就此发表任何评论。 卢拉的办公室当时表示,他取消了前往俄罗斯参加金砖国家峰会的行程。事故给他头部后方,靠近颈部的地方留下了一道可见的伤口。 Sirio-Libanes表示,当地时间上午9点(格林尼治标准时间凌晨12点)将举行新闻发布会,讨论手术情况。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。

诗人和文学偶像尼基·吉奥瓦尼去世,享年81岁 Latest News

诗人和文学偶像尼基·吉奥瓦尼去世,享年81岁

(SeaPRwire) - 尼基·乔瓦尼,这位诗人、作家、教育家和公众演说家,从借钱出版她的第一本书到几十年来作为文学名流分享她对从种族主义和爱情到太空旅行和死亡的直率而随意的看法,已经去世。她享年81岁。 据朋友兼作家蕾妮·沃森的一份声明,乔瓦尼(2023年获奖纪录片《飞向火星》的主题)于周一去世,她的终生伴侣弗吉尼亚(金妮)·福勒陪伴在侧。 乔瓦尼的表妹艾莉森(帕特)·拉甘代表家人在一份声明中说:“我们永远都会感到幸运,能够与我们亲爱的表妹分享遗产和爱。” 乔瓦尼著有25多本书,是一位天生的忏悔者和表演者,粉丝们通过她的作品、朗诵和其他现场演出以及她在弗吉尼亚理工大学等学校任教的多年时光而对她非常熟悉。诸如《黑色审判》和《黑色感觉黑色谈话》之类的诗集销量达数千册,让她获得了《今夜秀》和其他电视节目的邀请,并让她足够受欢迎,足以在林肯中心举办一场3000座位的音乐厅庆祝她的30岁生日。 在诗歌、散文和口语中,她讲述了自己的故事。她回顾了她在田纳西州和俄亥俄州的童年,捍卫黑人力量运动,讲述了她与肺癌的斗争,向从妮娜·西蒙到安吉拉·戴维斯的英雄致敬,并反思了诸如食物、浪漫、家庭和飞向太空等个人爱好,这是一次她认为黑人女性特别胜任的旅程,仅仅是因为她们已经经历了多少磨难。她还编辑了一部开创性的黑人女性诗人选集《夜幕悄然降临》,并帮助成立了一个出版合作社,推广格温多林·布鲁克斯和玛格丽特·沃克等人的作品。 有一段时间,她被称为“黑色诗歌公主”。 她的朋友芭芭拉·克罗斯比在2003年出版的《尼基·乔瓦尼的散文灵魂》选集的引言中写道:“我知道她是最懦弱的、最勇敢的、最缺乏理解的、最敏感的、最慢于发怒的、最古怪的、最说谎的、最诚实的女性。爱她就是爱矛盾和冲突。了解她就是永远不会理解,但确信一切都是生活。” 乔瓦尼的仰慕者包括詹姆斯·鲍德温、在舞蹈热门歌曲《方块生意》中提到她的蒂娜·玛丽以及奥普拉·温弗瑞,后者在2005年邀请这位诗人参加她的“传奇人物”峰会,其他贵宾包括罗莎·帕克斯和托妮·莫里森。乔瓦尼在1973年凭借一部关于她生活的散文作品《双子座》获得了美国国家图书奖提名。她还获得了格莱美奖提名,凭借的是口语专辑《尼基·乔瓦尼诗歌集》。 2009年1月,应NPR的请求,她写了一首关于即将上任的总统巴拉克·奥巴马的诗: 我将走遍街头 并敲门 与大家分享: 不是我的梦想,而是你们的梦想 我将与人们交谈 我将倾听和学习 我将制作黄油 然后清洁搅拌器 乔瓦尼于1969年生下一个儿子,托马斯·沃森·乔瓦尼。她从未嫁给孩子的父亲,因为她告诉《黑人》杂志,“我不想结婚,而且我负担得起不结婚。”在她生命的后半段,她与她在弗吉尼亚理工大学的同事弗吉尼亚·福勒一起生活。 她出生于田纳西州诺克斯维尔的约兰德·科妮莉亚·乔瓦尼二世,很快就被她的姐姐称为“尼基”。她4岁时,她的家人搬到了俄亥俄州,最终定居在辛辛那提郊外的林肯高地黑人社区。她经常往返于田纳西州和俄亥俄州之间,与她的父母以及她在诺克斯维尔的“精神家园”中的外祖父母联系在一起。 小时候,她阅读了从历史书籍到安·兰德的一切书籍,并在高中三年级后被纳什维尔的这所历史悠久的黑人学校菲斯克大学录取。大学时期是成就和麻烦的时期。她的成绩优异,她编辑了菲斯克文学杂志,并帮助成立了学生非暴力协调委员会的分校。但她反抗学校的宵禁和其他规定,并且因为她的“态度不符合菲斯克女性的态度”,她后来写道,有一段时间被开除。在学校更换了女院长后,乔瓦尼返回学校并于1967年以优异成绩毕业,获得历史学学位。 乔瓦尼依靠朋友的支持出版了她的处女作《黑色诗歌黑色谈话》,该书于1968年出版,同年她自出版了《黑色审判》。激进的黑人艺术运动达到了顶峰,乔瓦尼早期的诗歌,如“肯定的短文解释原因”、“解放”和“为佩佩的祈祷”是推翻白人权力的激进呼吁。(最糟糕的瘾君子或黑人商人比最好的白人更有人性)。 她在《当代作家》中为一篇传记小品写道:“我一直被认为是一位从愤怒中写作的作家,这让我感到困惑。作家还能从什么中写作呢?”“一首诗必须要说些什么。它必须有一定的意义;要有韵律;要切中要害;并且仍然能够被任何愿意拿起这本书的读者阅读。” 她对政治体制的反对随着时间的推移有所缓和,尽管她从未停止倡导变革和自我赋权,或缅怀过去的殉道者。2020年,她出现在总统候选人乔·拜登的一则广告中,她在广告中敦促年轻人“投票,因为有人为了让你有投票权而牺牲了生命”。 她最著名的作品出现在她职业生涯的早期;1968年的诗歌《尼基-罗莎》。这是她定义自我的宣言,是对其他人(包括讣告撰写者)不要讲述她的故事的警告,以及对她童年贫困以及从节日聚会到“在芝加哥烧烤用的那种大浴缸里洗澡”等超越贫困的祝福的简短沉思。 我真的希望没有白人有理由 写关于我的文章 因为他们永远不会理解 黑人的爱是黑人的财富,他们会 可能谈论我艰难的童年 并且永远不会理解 同时我一直很开心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。

涉嫌杀害UHC首席执行官的路易吉·曼吉奥内:我们所知 Latest News

涉嫌杀害UHC首席执行官的路易吉·曼吉奥内:我们所知

(SeaPRwire) - 上周被捕的嫌疑人已被认定为26岁的路易吉·曼吉奥内,他是来自马里兰州陶森的一名常春藤盟校毕业生。 12月9日,曼吉奥内在宾夕法尼亚州奥尔图纳被捕,此前他在一家麦当劳被认出并被当地警方举报。 警方发现曼吉奥内持有伪造的新泽西州身份证,该身份证与嫌疑人枪击案发生前10天入住曼哈顿上西区一家旅馆时使用的身份证相符。警方还缴获了一把与作案枪支类似的枪支、一个消音器以及一份三页手写宣言,调查人员表示,这份宣言揭示了他的动机,尽管其具体内容尚未公开。报道称,该文件批评医疗保健公司将利润置于护理之上。 “我们认为该文件中没有提到对其他人的具体威胁,但似乎他对美国企业怀有恶意,”纽约市警察局侦探主管约瑟夫·肯尼说。 曼吉奥内在宾夕法尼亚州面临枪支指控,以及其他指控,但尚未因12月4日汤普森的死亡而被正式指控。 纽约市警察局官员将50岁的汤普森的枪击案描述为“蓄谋已久的、有预谋的有针对性的袭击”。汤普森在纽约希尔顿中城酒店外,在他前往公司年度投资者大会的途中,被多次枪击,包括背部和右小腿各中一枪。枪手戴着面具,步行逃离现场,后来骑自行车进入中央公园。警方后来在中央公园发现了据信属于枪手的背包。里面装着大富翁游戏里的假钞。调查人员在现场发现了弹壳,上面刻着“否认”、“延迟”和“罢免”字样,这个神秘的信息引发了人们对其动机的一些疑问。 以下是关于曼吉奥内的信息。 他毕业于宾夕法尼亚大学 宾夕法尼亚大学的一位发言人告诉媒体,曼吉奥内于2020年毕业于宾夕法尼亚大学,获得计算机科学学士和硕士学位。当局证实,这名26岁的嫌疑人曾在宾夕法尼亚州上大学。 根据曼吉奥内的领英资料,在宾大期间,他担任助教、朗读委员会主席,并共同创立了该大学的游戏研究与开发环境俱乐部。宾夕法尼亚大学工程学院发布的一篇报道中引用了他的话,他说他之所以选择计算机科学专业,是因为他想制作电子游戏。曼吉奥内的社交媒体帖子表明,他属于Phi Kappa Psi兄弟会。 大学期间,他于2019年5月至9月在斯坦福大学大学预科学习项目担任首席辅导员。 2016年,他毕业于吉尔曼学校,这是一所位于巴尔的摩地区的全男生私立高中,在那里他参加了摔跤比赛并成为毕业生代表。 他曾担任数据工程师 根据曼吉奥内的领英资料,自从高中以来,他担任过各种科技工作和实习,自2020年11月以来一直担任汽车购物网站TrueCar的数据工程师。高中时,他是AppRoar Studios的联合创始人兼首席程序员,这是一家位于巴尔的摩的游戏应用程序开发公司。他还曾在约翰霍普金斯惠廷工程学院进行机器人研究实习,并在巴尔的摩的电子游戏开发商Firaxis Games进行UI编程实习。 调查人员说,他最后一次被知道住在夏威夷的檀香山。曼吉奥内在纽约没有犯罪记录。据调查人员说,他相信他于11月下旬乘巴士前往纽约市,后来从费城乘坐灰狗巴士到达奥尔图纳。 社交媒体账户显示媒体习惯和观点 似乎属于曼吉奥内的社交媒体资料显示,他订阅了反资本主义事业,并曾表示对臭名昭著的优纳轰炸机泰德·卡辛斯基(Ted Kaczynski)的钦佩,后者是一位前数学教授,他在1978年至1995年间在美国发动了一场全国范围的爆炸袭击活动。 曼吉奥内曾在Goodreads上写道,卡辛斯基的反技术文章《工业社会及其未来》对现代社会包含有先见之明的见解,但他谴责了优纳轰炸机所使用的暴力手段。评论家写道:“很容易草率地将此视为疯子的宣言,以避免面对它所指出的某些令人不安的问题。但忽视他的许多关于现代社会的预测有多么具有先见之明,这是不可能的。” 在袭击发生前的几个月里,曼吉奥内经常在X上发布关于现代技术对健康的不利影响的信息。他分享了健康和自我提升领域知名人士的内容,包括以其健康播客而闻名的神经科学家安德鲁·胡伯曼(Andrew Huberman)和《每周4小时工作法》的企业家蒂姆·费里斯(Tim Ferriss)。曼吉奥内表达了对现代生活对健康不利影响的担忧,经常转发迈克尔·波兰(Michael Pollan)(批评加工食品)和乔纳森·海特(Jonathan Haidt)(研究智能手机对年轻人的影响)等作家的文章。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。

Eastern River Pty Ltd Forecasts Strong Growth in the Global Corporate Bond Market in 2024, with Australian Bonds Also Showing Resilience ACN Newswire

Eastern River Pty Ltd Forecasts Strong Growth in the Global Corporate Bond Market in 2024, with Australian Bonds Also Showing Resilience

CANBERA, AUSTRALIA, Dec 9, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eastern River Pty Ltd, a leading bond specialist, reports that the global corporate bond market has experienced a remarkable surge in 2024, driven by strong international demand for stable, income-generating assets. While the Australian corporate bond market has also seen impressive growth, it is the international market that has truly captured investor attention this year. Robust issuance, driven by favourable borrowing conditions, heightened appetite for yield, and increasing interest in sustainability-linked bonds, has made 2024 a standout year for the global bond market, according to insights from Eastern River.Rising Global Corporate Bond Demand: A Key Focus for Eastern RiverEastern River has closely tracked the rise of global corporate bonds as an asset class in 2024. Corporate bonds have become a central focus for institutional investors seeking stable returns amid slower global economic growth and geopolitical uncertainties. With central banks, such as the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, moderating their rate-hiking cycles, the backdrop for bond issuance has become more favourable, leading to a surge in investor interest.Eastern River notes that corporate bonds-offering yields significantly higher than sovereign bonds-have become particularly attractive to institutional investors, including pension funds, asset managers, and insurance companies. These investors are broadening their portfolios to include corporate bonds, capitalising on diverse credit opportunities across a range of sectors and regions. The performance of global corporate bonds has been especially strong in emerging markets, as well as in developed economies, as institutional investors seek to enhance yield prospects.Australian Corporate Bonds Maintain Strong Demand: Insights from Eastern RiverWhile international bonds have been the primary focus in 2024, Eastern River has also been closely monitoring the performance of Australian corporate bonds. The Australian market continues to show resilience, benefiting from global trends and favourable domestic conditions. With the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) maintaining a steady monetary policy throughout 2024, the country's borrowing environment has remained stable, encouraging local corporations to issue bonds at favourable terms.According to Eastern River's analysis, Australian corporations have capitalised on these favourable conditions, leading to increased bond issuance in sectors such as energy, telecommunications, and financial services. Australia has become an attractive destination for global investors, particularly those seeking exposure to well-rated credits outside their home markets. Eastern River's research indicates that Australian bonds continue to offer security and reliable returns, making them appealing to international investors looking to diversify their portfolios.ESG and Sustainability-Linked Bonds: A Major Trend Identified by Eastern RiverOne of the key trends Eastern River has identified in 2024 is the continued rise of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and sustainability-linked bonds in both the Australian and global corporate bond markets. ESG-focused bonds are now a major component of the investment landscape, driven by growing investor demand for responsible, ethical investments.On a global scale, Eastern River has reported that the green bond market has seen record levels of issuance, as corporations align their financing with international climate and sustainability goals. In Australia, ESG bonds have been particularly prominent in sectors such as infrastructure, energy, and financial services. Eastern River has observed businesses raising capital for renewable energy projects, sustainable transport systems, and carbon reduction initiatives, all of which are attracting increasing interest from global investors.The rising global appetite for ESG bonds has created new opportunities for investors, enabling them to achieve competitive returns while supporting sustainable development. Eastern River believes that this trend will continue to accelerate in the years to come, and the firm remains committed to tracking ESG developments in both the Australian and international bond markets.Insights from Eastern RiverCraig Thompson, Head Analyst at Eastern River, shared his insights on the current state of the global corporate bond market:"2024 has been a year of strong performance for corporate bonds, particularly in the international market. At Eastern River, we've observed that despite ongoing economic challenges, the fixed-income market continues to attract investors seeking stable returns. With central banks moderating their tightening cycles, corporate bonds have emerged as a key asset class for balancing risk and return."He added, "The rise of ESG and sustainability-linked bonds is a defining feature of this year's market. Corporations are responding to the growing demand for responsible finance by issuing green and social bonds at unprecedented levels. Eastern River anticipates that this trend will continue, and ESG bonds will play an increasingly important role in the bond market in the years to come."Looking Ahead: Eastern River's Forecast for 2025As 2024 comes to a close, Eastern River forecasts continued growth for the corporate bond market in both Australia and globally. A combination of favourable economic conditions, strong investor demand, and a heightened focus on sustainability will likely drive further expansion. With international bonds in particularly high demand, global investors are increasingly looking beyond their home markets to take advantage of enhanced yield opportunities and diversified risk profiles.Looking forward, Eastern River believes that sustainability-linked bonds will remain a critical component of the corporate bond market. As both Australian and global corporations continue to issue ESG bonds, the market is expected to evolve with a stronger emphasis on long-term environmental and social goals. Eastern River will continue to closely monitor these developments and provide investors with insights to navigate the evolving bond market landscape.Contact DetailsEastern River Pty LtdMrs. Sally Peters (Public Relations Officer)media@easternriver.comSOURCE: Eastern River Pty Ltd Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

(TSX.V:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to report further assay results from the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property (the "Property" or the "Cisco Property") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. All drill holes intersected pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified."The results of drill hole 23 successfully confirmed the continuity of spodumene mineralization over the 850-metre strike length and, combined with drill hole 22, which underscores the down-dip continuity between holes 13, 17, 18 and 22, reinforces our confidence in the scale of Cisco, " said Neil McCallum, Q2 Metals Vice President of Exploration." Significantly more upside potential exists, and we plan to continue growing the already very large system to both the south and the east in our upcoming winter exploration program."A total of 6,359.7 metres ("m") was drilled over 17 drill holes during the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Property. Analytic results for drill hole CS-24-020 remain to be reported.The analytical results reported herein represent 1,188.1 m of drilling over two (2) holes during the 2024 drill campaign. Complete highlighted intervals from drill holes CS-24-022 and 023 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1 and 2.Drill hole CS-24-022 was collared 200 m behind and on the same line as drill hole CS-24-018 to test the continuity of the mineralized system to the southeast. Drill hole CS-24-018 was the first hole with analytic results that confirmed the large, mineralized zone to the south with a 215.6 m interval grading 1.69% Li 2 O, including 64.6 m at 2.29% Li 2 O.A total of 10 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals were encountered in drill hole CS24-022 with:Seven (7) intervals greater than 10 m wide, andFour (4) of those intervals greater than 40 m wide.Drill hole CS-24-022 successfully confirmed the continuity of the mineralized system to the southeast with three separate intervals grading at or over 1.55% Li 2 O (see Figure 2).Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Holes with Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyDrill hole CS-24-023 was collared in the same location as drill hole CS24-020 to test the continuity of the main large continuous pegmatite zone encountered in drill holes CS-24-010, 018 and 021 to the south.Drill hole CS-24-023 encountered 12 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals with:Six (6) intervals greater than 10 m wide, andThe widest individual interval measured 188.6 m and averaged 1.56% Li 2 O, including 26.0 m averaging 2.03% Li 2 O.Drill hole CS-24-023 confirmed that the main large continuous pegmatite system continues to the south.Figure 2. Cross Section B (looking northeast)Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Drill Holes CS24-022 and CS24-023 at Cisco PropertyAll intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in Table 1. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Drill hole collar information has been previously reported for each drill hole reported herein and is also available at: https://www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/.Due to the Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") protocols in place by both Q2 and the analytical laboratory (SGS Canada), drill hole CS-24-020 was re-submitted for testing.

Fujitsu today announced that it has provided Mitsubishi Electric Engineering with process visualization and analysis services utilizing the process mining(1) capabilities of “SAP Signavio®”(2), a platform that supportsbusiness transformation. Fujitsu consultants also identified areas requiring improvement and offered recommendations for process optimization.Mitsubishi Electric Engineering implemented its current system using SAP S/4HANA® in 2022 and planned a system upgrade for 2025. To optimize costs and efficiency before the upgrade, the company evaluated the effectiveness of its key business processes, such as sales and procurement, focusing on areas for improvement in operational quality and process standardization.To support this evaluation, Fujitsu employed its visualization and analysis service, which continuously monitors, analyses, and evaluates the effects of the current system's implementation. By visualizing the entire business process using log data from the current system, Fujitsu identified bottlenecks and process inconsistencies. Fujitsu consultants, with their deep understanding of SAP solutions, then used this information to propose process improvements.These improvement proposals were then discussed and refined in workshops with Mitsubishi Electric Engineering, leading to a clear identification of business challenges and improvement strategies. This data-driven approach, compared to traditional consulting methods relying solely on client interviews, enabled a rapid clarification of the current situation. This shortened the usual six to twelve-month evaluation phase to approximately one month, allowing more time for in-depth discussions on core business issues.Fujitsu will continue to support Mitsubishi Electric Engineering's process improvement initiatives.

Fourteen new trains to drive first rail open access growth JCN Newswire

Fourteen new trains to drive first rail open access growth

- The Group has signed an agreement with Angel Trains and Hitachi to lease 14 new five-car class 80X Hitachi electric, battery electric or bi-mode trains (70 cars in total) at a cost of c.£500m including maintenance, over a ten-year lease period- The trains will be manufactured by Hitachi in County Durham, securing skills base and jobs in the local area- The new trains will enable FirstGroup to significantly expand its open access portfolio and will be used on the newly announced London-Carmarthen route and to increase the number of cars on the existing Lumo and Hull Trains services- The agreement also contains an option for FirstGroup to lease up to an additional 13 trains on the same terms if the Group’s open access applications are granted by the Office of Rail and Road (‘ORR’)LONDON, Dec 9, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi Rail has entered into a contract with FirstGroup plc and Angel Trains Limited to lease 14 new, UK manufactured, five-car Hitachi electric or bi-mode trains.Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is visiting Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, today to celebrate a significant agreement for the Hitachi Rail Limited factory which has secured an order to manufacture 70 new rail cars for leading transport operator FirstGroup’s growing open access business, creating certainty for the manufacturing skills base, and the factory’s future.The agreement announced today will deliver 14 new five-car class 80X Hitachi electric or bi-mode trains (a total of 70 cars), which will not only give FirstGroup a homogenous fleet across its open access operations and provides flexibility and reliability for customers, but also facilitates FirstGroup’s strategic objective of materially increasing its open access capacity. Delivery of the new trains is expected to commence in late 2027. The lease will be financed by Angel Trains, adding to their portfolio of Hitachi assets. The trains will be maintained by Hitachi at their facilities around the country.The trains will be used on FirstGroup’s open access rail services, including the Carmarthen-London route announced on 5 December, and the existing Hull Trains and Lumo services on the East Coast Mainline.In addition, the agreement provides FirstGroup the option to invest another £500m, with options on a further 13 five-car trains, should their recently submitted open access applications be successful. These include for a new Lumo service between London and Rochdale via Newton-le-Willows, Eccles and Manchester Victoria, the extension of the Lumo service between Glasgow and Edinburgh, the expansion of the new London-Carmarthen Lumo service to introduce a new Lumo service between London and Paignton, and a new Hull Trains service between London and Sheffield via Retford and Worksop. Open access rail operators are set up with solely private investment and take full commercial risk and opportunity. The successful open access model, which is supported by Government and its independent regulator ORR, connects under-served places, helping to drive economic growth and providing additional capacity on core routes which can push a modal shift away from carbon-intensive travel.Commenting, FirstGroup Chief Executive Officer Graham Sutherland said: “The introduction of our new service between London and Carmarthen, and the extra capacity on Lumo and Hull Trains, will significantly increase our open access portfolio over the next few years, with further expansion possible should our recent applications be successful. The new trains, to be manufactured for us in County Durham by Hitachi, will support UK manufacturing and offer customers more choice as they consider affordable, environmentally friendly modes of travel in the future, and we are pleased to be taking them forward.“We know that growth and innovation are key for the future of the railway sector and are committed to working with government and all our partners to provide competitive, sustainable and improved services. Successful open access services can provide new connections, add capacity, support local businesses and suppliers, secure jobs and help to drive social mobility and future economic growth.”Jim Brewin, Chief Director of UK & Ireland at Hitachi Rail, stated: “This contract is a positive step forward, and just recognition for the hard work and patience of our teams across the Hitachi Rail UK business over recent years. We look forward to once again delivering for Hull Trains and Lumo passengers who will benefit further from our award-winning British built trains."We owe a lot to the innovation and creativity shown by our customers Angel Trains and FirstGroup and are excited to work in collaboration to deliver on our combined ambitions.

In less than three months we have delivered c.£250m of investment that will bring millions more passengers onto the rail network, connect key regional centres across the UK, secure crucial manufacturing jobs and breathe new life into local economies.“This is the first announcement of its kind in six years but our ambitions don’t stop here – this milestone represents the beginning of a new and exciting journey, which will see Angel Trains play a leading role in the green transition of our rail infrastructure.”About Hitachi RailHitachi Rail is connecting the future of mobility - helping every passenger, customer and community enjoy the benefits of more seamless, sustainable transport.

Hitachi to supply Japan’s first SF6-free 300 kV circuit-breakers to Chubu Electric Power Grid JCN Newswire

Hitachi to supply Japan’s first SF6-free 300 kV circuit-breakers to Chubu Electric Power Grid

TOKYO, Dec 9, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. announced today that it received an order for five units of Hitachi Energy’s sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)-free EconiQ™ 300 kilovolt (kV) circuit-breaker from Chubu Electric Power Grid. This is the first project in Japan where SF6-free circuit-breakers will be installed at voltages of 275 kV and above. It marks a milestone in achieving sustainable power grids in Japan and Chubu Electric Power Grid’s ambition of reducing emissions to zero by 2050. The SF6-free EconiQ circuit-breaker reduces CO2-equivalent emissions from the insulating gas by 99.3 percent.SF6 gas has excellent insulation and switching performance and has been used for decades in power grids. It also has a global warming potential of 24,300 times higher than CO2 and remains in the atmosphere for more than 1,000 years if it leaks from the equipment.Governments around the globe are working on regulations to phase out the installation of new SF6 gas equipment to address climate change. Still, no regulations regarding eliminating SF6 gas equipment in Japan exist yet.With Japan's electricity demand expected to increase due to electrification and the expansion of data centers, it becomes crucial to strengthen the power grids while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. SF6-free switchgear, such as Hitachi Energy's EconiQ, is the only solution to this two-fold challenge – it has proven reliability, stays compact, and has the lowest carbon footprint.In 2022, Chubu Electric Power Grid announced its policy to adopt SF6-free circuit breakers up to 77 kV when they are replaced. Today, Chubu Electric Power Grid announced a progressive policy to accelerate its decarbonization initiatives by adopting SF6-free circuit breakers for 275 kV and above.Hitachi Energy launched EconiQ high-voltage products in 2021 to meet the demand for SF6-free equipment. The EconiQ high-voltage portfolio eliminates greenhouse gas emissions by replacing SF6 gas with an eco-efficient alternative gas while maintaining the same performance, size, safety, and reliability as conventional equipment using SF6 gas. The company is progressively expanding its EconiQ high-voltage product lineup. It has already developed SF6 gas-free products for grid-level voltages up to 550 kV.About Hitachi, Ltd.Hitachi drives Social Innovation Business, creating a sustainable society through the use of data and technology.
