英國首相星默反擊馬斯克對兒童性侵集團的攻擊:「謊言和錯誤資訊」 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 基爾·斯塔默週一駁斥了針對他處理兒童性侵案的指控,該醜聞曾多次震驚全國,並在過去一周因SpaceX首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克的推波助瀾而受到更多關注。「那些盡可能廣泛散播謊言和錯誤資訊的人,他們並不關心受害者,他們只關心自己,」斯塔默在回應記者關於馬斯克評論的提問時說道,但他並沒有直接提及馬斯克。英國的兒童性侵醜聞,即主要由南亞或英國巴基斯坦裔男子組成的犯罪集團在英格蘭北部城鎮數十年來性侵和虐待兒童的事件,上週再次浮出水面,同時出現了對全國性調查的新呼籲。此前在羅瑟勒姆和泰爾福德等城鎮的報告發現,數十年來針對兒童的性侵證據,以及當局隱瞞資訊或擔心激化種族主義的證據。它經常被引用為多元文化主義失敗和大量移民影響的例子。馬斯克抨擊政府拒絕就當局在奧爾德姆的行動展開新的全國性調查的呼籲。內政部部長潔斯·菲利普斯在10月份回應了這一請求,稱任何此類調查都應在地方組織。一項關於奧爾德姆在2011年至2014年間行動的2022年報告發現,當地機構未能保護兒童,但它也發現,儘管存在「合理擔憂」,即極右翼會利用「全國各地主要由巴基斯坦裔罪犯參與的引人注目的定罪」,但並沒有掩蓋事實。馬斯克與包括保守黨領袖凱米·巴德諾奇在內的高級保守黨官員一起,要求進行全面調查。馬斯克更進一步,呼籲查理斯三世國王介入。他在X平台上談到政府時說:「他們反對調查,因為這將顯示當權者參與了掩蓋事件。」呼籲起訴斯塔默(當時醜聞爆發時他是檢察總長),以及他稱之為「強姦種族滅絕辯護者」的菲利普斯。斯塔默在他的回答中提到了這些言論,他為自己作為檢察官的記錄辯護,稱他重新調查了已結案的案件,並「改變了對虐待的整個起訴方式」。斯塔默說:「當極右翼的毒藥導致潔斯·菲利普斯和其他人受到嚴重威脅時,在我看來,底線已經被跨越了。」「我享受政治的針鋒相對,我們必須進行的強有力的辯論,但这必須基於事實和真相,而不是謊言。」他还批评了他所说的那些「对诚实、体面、真相和法治漫不经心,呼吁进行调查,因为他们想跳上极右翼的战车」的政治家。馬斯克反駁道。「這真是瘋狂!真正的原因是,這將顯示斯塔默為了獲得政治支持而一再無視大量小女孩及其父母的請求。斯塔默卑鄙至極,」他說。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

加拿大杜魯多在黨內壓力及面對特朗普批評和財政處理不當的指控後宣布辭職 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 加拿大總理杜魯多周一宣布,在自由黨內部壓力越來越大,以及其處理經濟問題和當選總統唐納·川普的威脅引發的批評聲浪日益高漲的情況下,他打算辭去黨魁和總理職務。他說,他將在該黨選出新領袖後辭職。「我打算在該黨通過全國性的激烈競爭程序選出下一任領袖後,辭去黨魁和總理職務,」杜魯多告訴記者。「昨晚,我要求自由黨主席開始這個程序。這個國家在下一次選舉中值得擁有真正的選擇,而且我清楚地意識到,如果我不得不應付內部鬥爭,我就不能成為那個選舉中的最佳選擇。」「正如你們所知,我是一個鬥士,我不是一個會退縮的人。尤其當這場戰鬥像這場戰鬥一樣重要時。但我一直以來都受到我對加拿大的愛、我為加拿大人服務的渴望以及符合加拿大最佳利益的驅使,加拿大人在下一次選舉中應當擁有真正的選擇,」杜魯多補充道。「而且,很明顯,由於內部鬥爭,我不能成為將自由黨的旗幟帶入下一次選舉的人。」執政近十年的杜魯多幾個月來一直在努力應對日益增長的挫折感,這些挫折感與生活成本飆漲和通貨膨脹上升等問題有關。儘管該黨沒有正式的途徑將他趕下台,但這位即將卸任的總理面臨著不信任投票的威脅,或者在2025年10月大選前進行漫長的保位鬥爭——這兩種選擇預計都將導致杜魯多在任期內遭受慘敗。這位長期擔任總理的政治人物越來越多的面臨辭職呼聲,反對黨領袖也呼籲他下台,這是在他的財政部長克里斯蒂亞·弗里蘭突然離職之後發生的,弗里蘭在一封措辭嚴厲的辭職信中,批評了他處理某些經濟政策以及川普發出的威脅的方式。弗里蘭曾被視為杜魯多的主要盟友,她在上屆川普政府期間幫助監督了2020年美墨加協議,她認為川普11月威脅對加拿大進口商品加徵25%的關稅「將決定我們一代人,甚至更長時間的命運」。「過去幾周,你我發現自己在加拿大最佳前進道路的問題上意見相左,」她寫道。「我們國家今天面臨著嚴峻的挑戰。」 「美國即將上任的政府正在實行……的政策,」她繼續說道,並敦促總理在面對川普及其「即將到來的關稅戰」時表現出更堅定的立場。弗里蘭的言論在加拿大政府內部引起了廣泛共鳴,許多人都支持她呼籲在面臨未來可能艱難的經濟形勢時展現力量。杜魯多任命親密朋友多米尼克·勒布朗接任財政部長,後來與他的核心小組舉行了一次特別會議,在會議上,他說他「非常清楚地聽取了他們的意見,仔細考慮了他們的擔憂」。杜魯多辭職意味著自由黨可以任命一位臨時總理領導該國直到明年秋天的大選,這可能讓他們有機會重新贏回自由黨的支持。目前尚不清楚誰可能會接替杜魯多的職位,但勒布朗——他本月早些時候也與川普在海湖莊園會面——據報導是領跑者。川普尚未公開評論杜魯多的辭職,他的過渡團隊也沒有回應此前Digital就其對加拿大政治的影響提出的問題。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

西岸槍擊事件造成3人死亡,包括一名以色列警官:報導

(SeaPRwire) - 以色列總理納坦雅胡星期一誓言要逮捕在約旦河西岸發動恐怖襲擊的「卑鄙兇手」,該襲擊造成包括一名警官在內的三名平民死亡。根據報導,休假的資深中士埃拉德·雅各布·溫克斯坦和妯娌瑞秋·科恩和阿里扎·雷茲被槍手在巴勒斯坦村莊艾爾-豐杜克向車輛開槍打死。這起襲擊造成另外八人受傷——包括一名63歲的巴士司機——以色列軍方已展開搜捕行動,追捕兩名涉嫌與巴勒斯坦伊斯蘭聖戰組織有關的槍手,耶路撒冷郵報報導。納坦雅胡在X平台上發文說:「我和我的妻子向今天早上這場可怕襲擊中遇害的三人的家屬致以最深切的慰問,並祝願傷者早日康復。」「我們將找到這些卑鄙的兇手,將他們繩之以法,以及所有幫助他們的人。沒有人會被放過。」 一位接受採訪的目擊者稱這起襲擊是「亂槍掃射」。他說:「我看到一個巴勒斯坦人……從他的後車窗拿出M16,對準車輛,然後我意識到這是襲擊。」「我看到車輛掉頭,一片混亂,然後我意識到他們一秒鐘後就要朝我來了,我排在後面,所以我開始向他們射擊。」目擊者補充說:「我是一個平民,我有自己的私人槍。如果他們給我一把M16,我想他們的處境就會不同了。」 以色列馬根·大衛·阿多姆緊急醫療服務的一名醫護人員告訴媒體,這起襲擊「發生在多個地點,車輛和一輛巴士遭到槍擊」。阿維柴·本·祖里亞說:「在我們最初搜尋傷亡人員時,我們在一輛車裡發現了兩名婦女……她們昏迷不醒,沒有脈搏也沒有呼吸,身上有槍傷。」「大約150米外,還有一名昏迷的司機也受了槍傷。經過醫療評估,不幸的是,他們的傷勢很嚴重,我們不得不宣布他們死亡。」據耶路撒冷郵報報導,溫克斯坦據稱40多歲,而73歲的科恩是一名學校輔導員,育有五個孩子。該報補充說,70歲的雷茲也是一名學校輔導員。美聯社報導,巴勒斯坦哈馬斯組織發表聲明,讚揚了這起襲擊事件。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

朝鮮在特朗普當選後首次進行飛彈試射

(SeaPRwire) - 朝鮮於星期一總統當選人特朗普成功連任後,首次試射彈道導彈。該政權上次進行導彈試射是在11月5日,當時美國人正前往投票站投票。星期一的試射再次表明,金正恩顯然無意與特朗普發展比與拜登總統更密切的關係。這次試射是在朝鮮執政黨在平壤舉行年度會議一周多後發生的。朝中社報道,黨領導人譴責美國、日本和韓國之間持續存在的夥伴關係,稱其為「核軍事集團」。朝鮮勞動黨在一份聲明中表示:「這一現實清楚地表明了我們應該前進的方向,以及我們應該做什麼以及如何做。」此次會議正值朝鮮在今年秋季向俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭提供軍事援助後,與西方政府的緊張關係日益加劇之際。在本週的會議之後,金正恩政權還譴責韓國為「反共前哨」,這是指韓國在12月企圖實施戒嚴的事件。在韓國國會挫敗戒嚴令後,朝鮮大約保持了一週的沉默。金正恩政權最終在其國營新聞機構於12月11日發表評論。朝中社在一份報告中表示:「面對嚴重的治理危機和彈劾危機的傀儡尹錫悅政權,竟然突然宣佈戒嚴令,毫不猶豫地揮舞其法西斯獨裁的槍杆和刀刃,令人震驚。」朝中社補充道:「國際社會正嚴密關注,評估認為戒嚴事件暴露了韓國社會的脆弱性……,尹錫悅的政治生涯可能提前結束。」韓國國會在尹錫悅奪權後不久就彈劾了他,全國法院正在審議是否維持罷免他的決定。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

However, robust growth in India and ASEAN nations, combined with increased policy support from Mainland China, is expected to keep Asia’s (ex-Japan) GDP growth at a strong 4.4%, well above the global average of 2.7%.” Against this backdrop, this year’s Asia Financial Forum is aptly themed “Powering the Next Growth Engine” and will focus on high-potential markets such as ASEAN, the Middle East (particularly the Gulf Cooperation Council countries), and the role that Hong Kong can play. Ms Lim said Hong Kong's unique role as a bridge between the mainland and international markets allows it to support mainland enterprises expanding globally. She added that Hong Kong is committed to attracting global talent and investors, driving growth for both mainland and international businesses.Patrick Lau, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said: “As we move into the new year, different economies around the world are facing challenges in maintaining economic growth. As an international financial centre, Hong Kong is playing an important role both as a ‘super-connector’ and a ‘super value-adder’ to link the world, enabling investors and fundraisers to leverage the city’s professional services and investment platforms to facilitate collaboration and create business opportunities. This year's forum not only brings together heavyweight speakers and thought leaders but also builds on the success of previous years to provide a business platform for international participants, promoting financial and business cooperation and working together to launch new engines for growth.”Exploring new trends as the world’s economic centre of gravity continues its shift eastReflecting on a trend where the world's economic centre of gravity continues to take an eastward shift, Christopher Hui will host two plenary sessions on emerging prospects in the region on the first day of the forum (13 January). The morning session of Plenary Session I will feature H.E. Adylbek Kasymaliev, Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan, finance ministers from countries such as Pakistan and Luxembourg, and Yoshiki Takeuchi, Deputy Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), who together will explore the financial policy outlook for 2025. In the afternoon, Plenary Session II will bring together leaders from multilateral organisations to share their views on the role of multilateral cooperation in regional economic development. Speakers will include Roberta Casali, Vice-President, Finance and Risk Management, Asian Development Bank; Jin Liqun, President and Chair of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB); and Satvinder Singh, Deputy Secretary-General for ASEAN Economic Community, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Moreover, a new session, the Gulf Cooperation Council Chapter, will bring together HE Jasem Mohamed AlBudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), speakers from the Middle East and local experts to discuss prospects in fostering financial cooperation and investment between the member states of the GCC and Hong Kong.Also on the first day, Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, will host the Policy Dialogue session with speakers including European representatives such as Philip Lane, Chief Economist and Member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank, and Dr Olli Rehn, Governor of the Bank of Finland. The discussion will explore the opportunities and challenges arising from the global shift towards more accommodative monetary policies and national authorities’ strategic deployment of measures to revitalise their economies and accelerate growth through innovation.The panel discussion on China Opportunities returns this year with senior figures invited to analyse investment prospects under China’s commitment to technological innovation and its impact on global business. The panellists included Li Yimei, Chief Executive Officer of China Asset Management; and Ken Wong, Executive Vice President of Lenovo and President of Lenovo Solutions & Services Group.Top economist and leading AI expert take the stage at keynote luncheonsAnother highlight of this year’s AFF will be the two keynote luncheons featuring thematic speeches by two distinguished guests: Prof Justin Lin Yifu, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of the World Bank (2008-2012), and Prof Stuart Russell, Co-chair of the World Economic Forum Council on AI. These two prominent figures will dissect the evolution of the global economic landscape amid changing international dynamics, and examine how artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a new driving force for rapid global economic growth respectively.Exploring hot topics in the financial and economic sectorsThe afternoon panel discussion, Global Economic Outlook, will feature a special address from Liu Haoling, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Investment Officer, China Investment Corporation. The panel will analyse international economic trends and provide insights into business opportunities and wealth accumulation in emerging industries and regions in 2025.Other sessions titled Global Spectrum, Dialogues for Tomorrow and Thematic Workshop will feature in-depth discussions focusing on the latest industry trends, including AI, Web 3.0, sustainability, philanthropy and family offices. As AI becomes increasingly widespread and diversified in its societal applications, the second day of the forum will introduce a special session, Dialogue with Kai-Fu Lee, in which Dr Kai-Fu Lee, Chairman of Sinovation Ventures, will discuss the transformative power of AI and its impact on technological advancements in the global business ecosystem.Exploring the impact of sustainable disclosure on investment strategiesSustainable finance and environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations have become an irreversible global trend. In 2025, Hong Kong is set to fully align its regulatory framework with the sustainability disclosure standard of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). Sue Lloyd, Vice Chair of the ISSB, will join other experts in discussing how adopting international financial sustainability disclosure standards can strengthen market confidence in Hong Kong's capital markets, address post-COP29 implementation in Asia, and share strategies for sustainable investing across three separate sessions. In addition, the Breakfast Panel on the second day will focus on the flows of transition finance in shaping a sustainable future in the Greater Bay Area and beyond. Furthermore, the HKTDC has partnered with EY to conduct a joint market survey on sustainable development, aiming to explore the views and practices of Asian businesses and investors on topics such as sustainability reporting, sustainable finance and preparations for dealing with climate change. The results of the survey will be unveiled on the first day of the forum.Expanding cross-border opportunities through the HK global investment platformAs a key element of this year’s forum, AFF Deal-making offers one-on-one matching services for project owners and investors. More than 270 investors and 560 projects are expected to participate, with investment opportunities across industries such as environmental, energy, clean technology, food and agriculture tech, healthcare tech, fintech and deep technology.

CleverTap Predicts Key Trends for Customer Engagement in 2025 ACN Newswire

CleverTap Predicts Key Trends for Customer Engagement in 2025

SAN FRANCISCO, CA & MUMBAI, Jan 7, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CleverTap, the all-in-one customer engagement platform, has published a report on the top five trends that will shape the marketing and customer engagement space in 2025. It provides an analysis of the future of the customer engagement and retention landscape, offering insights into the strategies companies are expected to adopt in the upcoming year.With the initial euphoria of GenAI waning out in just a year, organizations are in the midst of conversations about its tangible business value and outcomes. As AI transitions from being a disruptor to an enabler in 2025, here are some key customer engagement and retention trends that are sure to make an impact in 2025.1. From Push to Pull: Generative AI-driven Wave of Customer InteractionsWith GenAI’s mass adoption in 2024, communication has moved from brand-led to customer-led. Industries saw a shift in their customers using queries as their primary medium to interact with the brand. 2025 will further solidify this trend from brand-driven click and swipe-based interactions (push) to user-driven, prompt-based dynamic, conversational experiences (pull) powered by GenAI. While the number of touchpoints for marketers will be reduced, the quality of exchange will become more important once businesses understand how to optimize it. The rise of GenAI will continue to bring high efficiency, enabling brands to gain real-time insights and feedback, and empowering them to make swift improvements.2. Personalization vs Privacy: Navigating a Balanced ApproachPersonalization is the norm for marketers. However, for today’s customers, hyper-personalisation only works when executed contextually and transparently. Marketers therefore will have to take a privacy-first approach while crafting meaningful experiences. Moving forward, investment in mechanisms for first-party and zero-party data collection will be vital, along with strict adherence to privacy regulations. By prioritizing transparency and safeguarding user data, businesses can foster deeper trust and loyalty among their customers.3. Martech’s Evolution from a Fixed Tech Stack to a Living CartographyThe Martech landscape is changing rapidly to meet new demands and most businesses still operate with rigid and fragmented tech stacks consisting of traditional siloed tools. This poses a challenge for marketers as the failure of one tool can create a domino effect causing problems in the entire stack. To address this, the concept of "living cartography" holds immense promise. Unlike traditional stacks, this concept envisions a dynamic, interconnected ecosystem where tools adapt and evolve in real-time. This approach fosters seamless data exchange and reduces the risk of system-wide failures by minimizing dependencies across tools. For marketers, this shift means greater agility in meeting the growing demand of ever-changing customer preferences. 4. The Rise of AI AgentsAI agents are the next evolution in the AI landscape, poised to grow significantly this year. Their value lies in the ability to act beyond basic response mechanisms, driving smarter interactions. Companies will focus on AI agent functionalities to analyze real-time sentiments and tailor recommendations for customers while also providing 24/7 multi-lingual support. From a business standpoint, the use case will include boosting operational efficiency and improving decision-making. Eventually, we will see AI clones of marketers for processes like customer support, and sales interactions. AI copilots will enable businesses to get a competitive edge by automating tasks and optimizing workflows.5. Customer Retention over Acquisition The current economic and geopolitical situation alongside a shift in customer priorities has exacerbated the challenge of acquiring new customers, making the process more expensive as well. Companies have recognized the value of customer loyalty as opposed to the “growth at any cost” outlook and the industry is now focussing on customer retention as a strategic priority. In addition to hyper-personalization, brands will continue to innovate their loyalty programs and incentives to meet customer expectations. Anand Jain, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, CleverTap said, “AI's promise in marketing will truly come alive in 2025 – where it will transition from being a mere disruptor to a trusted enabler, unlocking authentic, customer-driven engagement. As brands navigate this new paradigm, success will come down to building genuine connections and striking a healthy balance between personalization and privacy, all while staying adaptable in the face of customer demands. At CleverTap, we remain committed to guiding businesses through these shifts, empowering them to advance their capabilities and drive meaningful, enduring customer relationships.”Click here to download the report, The Customer Engagement Crystal Ball: Top Trends to Watch Out for in 2025.About CleverTapCleverTap is the leading all-in-one customer engagement platform that helps brands unlock limitless customer lifetime value.

Elucidation of part of the Mechanism by which Lecanemab Slows the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease JCN Newswire

Elucidation of part of the Mechanism by which Lecanemab Slows the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease

TOKYO, Jan 7, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A collaborative research group led by Professor Kenjiro Ono of the Institute of Medical, Pharmaceutical and Health Sciences, Kanazawa University, and Eisai Co., Ltd., used a newly developed measurement system for lecanemab-associated amyloid-β protofibrils (Lec-PF) to demonstrate that the concentration of Lec-PF in human cerebrospinal fluid is elevated in patients withAlzheimer's disease at all stages, from mild cognitive impairment to mild and severe dementia, compared with non-Alzheimer's disease controls. Furthermore, this research identified that the concentration of Lec-PF in cerebrospinal fluid is significantly correlated with biomarkers reflecting neurodegeneration.Lecanemab (*1) is a unique dual acting antibody that selectivity binds to amyloid-β protofibril (PF *2) in addition to removing plaque, and is a treatment for patients with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD *3) (collectively referred to as early AD). The results of this study suggest that PF which is captured by lecanemab (Lec-PF), is present in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, and that Lec-PF is a highly toxic pathological protein that causes neurodegeneration. This research has revealed part of the mechanism by which lecanemab demonstrates its effect of slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.Based on these findings, it may be possible in the future to measure Lec-PF concentration in cerebrospinal fluid before and afterlecanemab treatment to assess the treatments efficacy. In addition, because the concentration of Lec-PF in cerebrospinal fluid correlates well with neurodegenerative markers such as total tau (*4) and neurogranin (*5), it is expected that these findings could also be useful in predicting the prognosis of Alzheimer’s disease patients.This research was published in the online version of the international academic journal Annals of Neurology at 18:30 on January 6, 2025 (US Eastern Standard Time).Research Background and ObjectivesThe amyloid cascade hypothesis is a leading theory regarding the cause of AD, which states that amyloid beta (Aβ) (*6) abnormally aggregates outside of neuron, followed by the formation of tau neurofibrillary tangles, which causes damage to neuron and leads to the onset of the disease. PF is more neurotoxic than amyloid fibrils and plaque, which are the final stages of abnormal aggregated Aβ, and it is believed that PF may cause neurodegeneration (reference: Amin L and Harris DA. 2021). Lecanemab is an anti-PF antibody that has been used in medical practice since 2023 as a treatmentfor early AD. However, there have been no previous reports of measuring PF concentrations in human biological samples, and the profiles of PF, which is the therapeutic target of lecanemab, across the full AD continuum have not yet been understood.In this study, the research group used a newly developed, highly sensitive Lec-PF measurement system to measure the concentration of Lec-PF in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in subjects with preclinical AD (*7), mild cognitive impairment due to AD, and AD dementia, as well as patients with SNAP (suspected non-AD pathophysiology) (*8) and people with normal cognitive function, and analyzed the association between Lec-PF and Aβ40, Aβ42, phosphorylated tau (p-tau) 181 (*9), p-tau 217, total tau, and neurogranin.Summary of Research ResultsThe Lec-PF CSF concentration was significantly higher in patients with mild cognitive impairment or dementia due to AD (MCI+,AD+ groups in Figure 1) than in those with normal cognitive function (YNC and AMC groups in Figure 1).Correlation analysis was conducted between the concentration of Lec-PF in cerebrospinal fluid and other cerebrospinal fluid markers (Aβ42, Aβ42/40 ratio, p-tau 181, p-tau 217, total-tau, neurogranin).Future DevelopmentsMeasuring the Lec-PF concentration in CSF before and after lecanemab treatment may be useful in assessing the efficacy of lecanemab treatment. In addition, because the concentration of Lec-PF in CSF correlates well with neurodegenerative markers, it may also be useful for predicting the prognosis of AD patients.This research was supported by the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) Research and Development Grants for Dementia (Grant No. 22dk0207053), Grants-in-Aid for Transformative Research (Grant No. 23H03850), and Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Grant Nos. JP19k07965, JP22k07514).Fig. 1 Cerebrospinal fluid lecanemab-related amyloid protofibril (CSF Lec-PF) concentrations according to clinical diagnosis and amyloid positivity/negativityDescription of Figure 1Boxes in boxplots indicate interquartile ranges andhorizontal lines indicate medians.Abbreviations for each group: YNC (young normal control amyloid-negative), AMC (age-matched control amyloid-negative), CI- (cognitively impaired amyloid-negative), CU+ (cognitively unimpaired amyloid-positive), MCI+ (mild cognitive impairment amyloid-positive), AD+ (AD dementia amyloid- positive), CSF (cerebrospinal fluid)*p < 0.05Figure 2 Correlation between cerebrospinal fluid markers and cerebrospinal fluid lecanemab- related amyloid protofibrils (CSF Lec-PF)Description of Figure 2The black line and the red line indicate the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the Spearman correlation coefficient between CSFLec-PF and each cerebrospinal fluid marker in the entire subject group and in the amyloid-positive subject group, respectively. The black and red dots indicate the median value of the Spearman correlation coefficients. A large discrepancy between the black and red lines reflects the significant impact of the status of being either Aβ positive or negative.In this analysis, in all subjects (black line), the correlation coefficients between CSF Lec-PF and all measured biomarkers, namely Aβ42, Aβ42/40 ratio, p-tau 181, p-tau 217, total-tau, and neurogranin, were all 0.2 or higher, indicating significant correlations between CSF Lec-PF and these biomarkers.In the amyloid-positive group (red line), the Spearman correlation coefficients were 0.634 (CI: 0.409- 0.786) between CSF Lec-PF and CSF total-tau, and 0.434 (CI: 0.260-0.581) between CSF Lec-PF and CSF neurogranin, respectively, indicating a strong correlation between CSF Lec-PF and the two biomarkers. On the other hand, the correlations between CSF Lec-PF and the brain Aβ accumulation biomarkers, CSF Aβ42 and the CSF Aβ42/40 ratio, were both relatively low. This indicates that the amount of CSF Lec-PF is more strongly associated with neurodegeneration than the accumulation of Aβ in the brain.Published PapersJournal name: Annals of NeurologyPaper title: Lecanemab-associated amyloid-β protofibril in cerebrospinal fluid correlates with biomarkers of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lecanemab-associated amyloid protofibril concentrations correlate well with neurodegenerative biomarkers in AD)Authors: Moeko Noguchi-Shinohara, Kazuyoshi Shuta, Hidetomo Murakami, Yukiko Mori, Junji Komatsu, Chizuru Kobayashi, Steven Hersch, Kanta Horie, Kenjiro Ono (Moeko Shinohara, Kazuyoshi Shuta, Hidetomo Murakami, Yukiko Mori, Junji Komatsu, Chizuru Kobayashi, Steven Hersch, Kanta Horie, Kenjiro Ono)Date of publication: January 6, 2025 (US Eastern Standard Time). DOI: 10.1002/ANA.27175Terminology(1) LecanemabLecanemab is a treatment for early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is an antibody that selectively binds to amyloid protofibrils, which are considered to be particularly neurotoxic among amyloid beta aggregates. In September 2023, lecanemab was approved in Japan as a treatment for slowing progression of mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia due to AD.(2) ProtofibrilsProtofibrils are large Aβ aggregated soluble species of 75-5000 kDa, and 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 associated with this progressive, debilitating condition.(3) Alzheimer’s diseaseAD is a progressive brain disorder that gradually impairs memory and cognitive ability, eventually leading to a condition knownas dementia that interferes with daily life. In the brains of patients with AD, changes such as structures called senile plaques that form due to the accumulation of a substance called amyloid-β, abnormal tangles of neurofibrillary changes (neurofibrillarytangles caused by the abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein), and loss of neurons are observed. These changes progress over a long period of time.(4) Total TauTau protein is a type of microtubule-associated protein that is found in large amounts in neurons and glial cells in the central and peripheral nervous systems. In neurodegenerative diseases, including AD, the concentration of total tau in CSF increases as the disease progresses. For this reason, total tau is used as a marker of neurodegeneration.(5) NeurograninNeurogranin is a neuron-specific postsynaptic protein that is found in large amounts in areas such as the cerebral cortex andhippocampus. Neurogranin in CSF is used as a marker for neurodegeneration.(6) Amyloid beta (Aβ)Amyloid-β (Aβ) includes peptides generated by the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- secretase and γ-secretase, such as Aβ40, which ends at position 40 of the C-terminus, and Aβ42, which ends at position 42 of the C-terminus Aβ42 inparticular has a high aggregating tendency, and in AD, there is a decrease in Aβ42 concentration in CSF and an increase in the Aβ40/42 ratio, which is known to show a strong correlation with the amount of amyloid accumulation measured by amyloid PET testing.(7) Preclinical Alzheimer’s diseaseA stage of AD before cognitive impairment has occurred.(8) SNAP (suspected non-Alzheimer’s disease pathophysiology)SNAP is an abbreviation for suspected non-AD pathophysiology. The term refers to a condition that involves neurodegeneration similar to that seen in AD, despite normal results of amyloid PET scans, CSF Aβ40/42 ratio, and CSF Aβ42. In this study, the CI- group (cognitively impaired amyloid-negative group) in Figure 1 corresponds to patients with SNAP.(9) Phosphorylated tauThe accumulation of phosphorylated tau protein is considered to be a cause of neurofibrillary tangles, which are pathological traits of AD. Many phosphorylation sites are known in tau protein, among which tau protein phosphorylated at threonine residue 181 (p-tau 181) and tau protein phosphorylated at threonine residue 217 (p-tau 217) are frequently seen in AD. For this reason, p-tau 181 and p-tau 217 in CSF are used as biomarkers for AD.ReferenceAmin L, Harris DA.

$INDX Token Pre-Sale Kicks Off as CryptoIndex.com Paves the Way for Decentralized Indexing

New York, NY – January 07, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Just as the S&P 500 dominates Web2, CryptoIndex.com is set to lead the way in Web3. Unrivaled, the first-ever decentralized index protocol, offers the largest database of high-yield indexes and pioneers the big market game. The $INDX token pre-sale began on December 19th, providing an early opportunity to participate in the platform’s growth. CryptoIndex.com Mechanics: Achieving a Big Goal Driven by an expert team from Visa, Binance, TechCrunch, and more, CryptoIndex.com is a platform with a bold mission — to democratize access to the cryptocurrency market and empower users with the tools to manage, create, and invest in decentralized crypto indexes. To fulfill its mission, CryptoIndex has carefully crafted flexible mechanics. For instance, users can shape their own portfolios from over 10,000 tokens, adjust weights, and set fees.

Fair redistribution of benefits: Advocating for policies that ensure a greater share of mining revenues is reinvested in local community projects. Sustainability and innovation: Partnering with stakeholders to implement environmentally sustainable practices that balance development with ecological preservation. Transparency and accountability: Promoting ethical business practices and transparent communication regarding mining activities and their impact. Kess Energy invites other mining industry players to join Communities Forward Brazil in creating a unified platform to champion sustainable development and community empowerment. “By joining forces, I think it’s possible that we can redefine the narrative of mining in Brazil,” added Mr. Ramirez. “Our goal is to ensure the legacy of the lithium boom is not only wealth creation for big business and shareholders but also the elevation of the communities who are the heart and soul of our nation.” About Kess Energy Kess Energy is a junior lithium mining company dedicated to meeting the increasing global demand for lithium through responsible and sustainable mining practices that respect and consider the needs of the communities in which its assets are located.

德國聖誕市集攻擊事件受害者數週後醫院不治身亡,死亡人數增至6人 News

德國聖誕市集攻擊事件受害者數週後醫院不治身亡,死亡人數增至6人

(SeaPRwire) - 上個月馬格德堡聖誕市集攻擊事件的死亡人數,在一名女子傷重不治後增至六人。據美聯社報道,這名受害者僅被確認為一名52歲的女子,她在周一因12月20日襲擊中所受的傷在醫院去世。據報道,一名50歲的男子駕車衝進馬格德堡擁擠的節日市場,造成數百人受傷。他在襲擊後立即被捕。五人在現場喪生,一些傷者被送往醫院,情況危急。其他遇難者包括一名9歲男孩和四名年齡分別為45歲、52歲、67歲和75歲的女子。襲擊發生後,官方發佈的細節有限,嫌犯姓名尚未公布,但此前有報道稱他於2006年抵達德國,是該國的永久居民。雖然襲擊事件最初被描述為恐怖主義行為,但美聯社報道稱,嫌犯「不符合極端主義襲擊肇事者的通常特徵」。據稱,他自稱是前穆斯林,批評伊斯蘭教,同時在社交媒體上表達對極右翼的支持。德國司法部長沃爾克·維辛上個月通過美聯社對Funke報業集團表示:「馬格德堡的肇事者曾多次因威脅犯罪而引起注意。也有人對他發出警告,但據目前所知,他的政治言論混亂不堪,沒有任何安全部門的模式與他相符。」襲擊發生後的幾天裡,哀悼者在聖誕市集附近擺放了大量的鮮花、毛絨玩具、蠟燭和其他小飾品,以紀念遇難者。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

以色列在加薩未來問題上尋求特朗普的幫助:「將促成以前不可能的事情」

(SeaPRwire) - 隨著以色列在加薩的軍事行動接近尾聲,戰後將發生什麼的問題變得更加緊迫。近190萬人在加薩境內流離失所,國際社會正密切關注衝突後的階段。「沒有神奇的解決方案,」一位安全官員告訴Digital,「但有一點大家一致同意:加薩的未來將取決於新特朗普政府的政策。」另一位安全官員談到特朗普時說:「我們在等待看看他的脾氣會是什麼樣的。」前以色列軍事情報局長阿莫斯·亞德林說:「你不能低估『特朗普效應』,」 「他將促成以前不可能的事情,以增加對哈馬斯的壓力。」以色列國防部長以色列·卡茨最近概述了他對加薩未來願景。在一份引起激烈爭論的聲明中,卡茨說:「在我們擊敗哈馬斯在加薩的軍事和政治力量後,以色列將維持完全的安全控制,就像在西岸一樣。我們不會允許任何恐怖分子在加薩重新集結或襲擊以色列公民。」卡茨的言論表明,以色列將保留安全控制權,但在加薩建立新的治理結構。媒體上流傳的一項提案建議,埃及和巴勒斯坦民族權力機構正在討論成立一個「技術官僚」機構來監督加薩的基礎設施、人道主義援助和重建工作。該機構將由12至15名巴勒斯坦人士組成,並且不受哈馬斯的控制,這可能意味著加薩權力動態的轉變。耶路撒冷的官員強調,以色列將維持安全控制,但不會在加薩重建以前的定居點。「我們想什麼時候進入就什麼時候進入,並進行軍事行動以打擊恐怖主義,」一位以色列安全官員告訴Digital。還希望讓阿拉伯國家,如阿聯酋、沙烏地阿拉伯和埃及參與加薩的重建。然而,以色列國防軍高級官員警告說,如果沒有針對衝突後時期的明確戰略計劃,軍事行動的成果可能會被抵消。一位以色列國防軍高級官員解釋說,如果沒有哈馬斯的替代方案,衝突的循環將繼續下去。「除非以色列制定了明天的計劃,並培養出哈馬斯的替代者,否則該恐怖組織將重建自己並繼續掌權。這是一個無止境的循環,」他告訴Digital。一些以色列官員認為,缺乏一致的戰略與即將上任的政府對美國政策的不確定性有關。「明天還很遙遠,」一位官員說。「我們直到不久前還在應對黎巴嫩問題,我們正在應對伊朗和胡塞武裝,敘利亞發生的一切……重建加薩並不是首要任務。可以肯定的是,在人質獲釋和哈馬斯被完全瓦解之前,戰爭不會結束。我們都在等待看看新特朗普政府將如何處理這個問題。」已經提出了幾項關於加薩未來的計劃,對以色列應該如何前進有著不同的看法。退休少將吉奧拉·艾蘭德,以色列國家安全委員會前負責人,主張採取更軍事化的方式。他的「總體計劃」呼籲疏散加薩北部的人口,然後包圍和圍攻加薩北部地區。艾蘭德認為,通過切斷水、燃料和食物等供應,哈馬斯將被迫屈服,並且人質可以獲釋。從長遠來看,艾蘭德設想一個以色列控制加薩部分地區,但僅僅是軍事控制——沒有以色列公民進入,也沒有地面定居點。艾蘭德告訴Digital:「如果我們控制了加薩北部,哈馬斯不再掌權,那麼我們就可以開始在國際合作下重建加薩的過程。」雖然這種方法可能會削弱哈馬斯,但批評人士警告說,它可能會加劇加薩嚴峻的人道主義危機。一位高級安全官員告訴Digital:「如果我們繼續這樣做,我們將冒著陷入無休止的暴力循環的風險。制定一個包括瓦解哈馬斯但也考慮國際法的戰略性最終目標至關重要。」艾蘭德認為,他的策略符合國際法,可以迫使哈馬斯進行談判。「當我制定這個計劃時,我閱讀了美國國防部發布的手冊。1200頁解釋了美國關於國際人道主義法實施的教義是什麼。根據這本手冊,我目前提出的所有內容都明確寫在這本手冊中,」艾蘭德補充道,「哈馬斯只關心兩件事:羞辱和失去土地。如果我們能讓他們失去對土地的控制,他們將承受真正的壓力。」相比之下,少將(預備役)阿莫斯·亞德林支持外交解決方案。「我們提出了一種巴勒斯坦技術官僚機制,他們與巴勒斯坦民族權力機構有象征性的聯繫,而不是實際上的聯繫。這些技術官僚將得到埃及、沙烏地阿拉伯、阿聯酋、約旦和摩洛哥等阿拉伯集團的指導。」亞德林是Mind Israel以色列智庫的首席執行官,他設想加薩的未來將由阿拉伯國家塑造。他說,他們有必要影響力來穩定加薩,在以色列拆除哈馬斯軍事基礎設施之後。「在哈馬斯繼續掌權的情況下,沒有人會重建加薩,」亞德林告訴Digital。「哈馬斯可以是一個政黨,基於接受2017年四方條件:承認以色列並譴責恐怖主義,」他說。亞德林對一個問題更務實,而這對現任以色列政府來說是一條紅線,那就是巴勒斯坦民族權力機構(PA)在加薩的作用。以色列官員明確表示,巴勒斯坦民族權力機構將不參與哈馬斯後的加薩治理。「沒有任何方案包括巴勒斯坦民族權力機構,」一位官員說。「我們看到了它在西岸的無能,不想把這種能力帶到加薩。」這種排斥巴勒斯坦民族權力機構的做法引發了人們對加薩未來治理和政治穩定潛力的質疑。雖然以色列支持技術官僚方法,但這種模式能否在沒有巴勒斯坦民族權力機構參與的情況下運作仍然不確定。在關於巴勒斯坦民族權力機構的爭論仍在繼續的同時,阿聯酋已成為加薩未來的一個關鍵參與者,這是各方都能接受的一個角色。阿聯酋願意參與人道主義援助和重建工作引起了人們的關注,尤其是在該地區尋找哈馬斯的替代方案之際。「阿聯酋是加薩未來最相關的參與者,」一位以色列安全官員說。「他們有資源和意願做出貢獻,但我們只談論民事方面。」雖然以色列歡迎阿拉伯國家參與加薩的重建,但安全仍然是主要關注點。以色列決心防止回到10月7日之前的現狀,確保哈馬斯不會重新掌權。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

加拿大總理杜魯道最快周一宣布辭職:報導

加拿大總理杜魯道最快周一宣布辭職:報導 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 據加拿大媒體報導,總理杜魯多預計最早將於週一辭去職務。環球郵報(Globe and Mail)週日晚間首先報導了這一消息,援引了三個消息來源。該報稱,目前尚不清楚自由黨領袖將在何時確切下台,但預計在週三全國黨團會議之前會辭職。杜魯多的民調支持率持續下降,而加拿大將於今年10月20日舉行大選,此消息正值此時。該國持續面臨住房危機、人均GDP下降和高通脹等問題。據加拿大民調機構Angus Reid的數據顯示,截至12月24日,杜魯多的不滿意率約為68%,僅有28%的加拿大人支持他。潛在的辭職也將發生在杜魯多(於2015年成為總理)經歷了幾個月艱難的政治歲月之後。9月,他面臨國會的不信任投票,儘管保守黨努力將他趕下台,但最終失敗。12月16日,財政部長克里斯蒂亞·弗里蘭(Chrystia Freeland)宣佈辭去杜魯多內閣職務,對總理造成重大打擊。她在辭職信中聲稱,唯一「誠實和可行的道路」就是離開內閣。弗里蘭(此前被視為杜魯多的忠實支持者)寫道:「過去幾週,你我對加拿大最佳前進道路的看法存在分歧。」信中還補充道:「我們的國家正面臨嚴峻挑戰。這意味著今天要保持財政儲備,以便我們有足夠的儲備應對即將到來的關稅戰。」12月晚些時候,杜魯多的主要盟友之一,新民主黨黨魁賈格米特·辛格(Jagmeet Singh)表示,他計劃在1月27日提出正式的不信任動議。辛格說:「無論誰領導自由黨,這個政府的時代已經結束了。我們將在下一次眾議院會議上提出明確的不信任動議。」杜魯多的個人選擇也招致了對手的強烈反彈。11月底,杜魯多在多倫多被拍到跳舞的畫面,而他的家鄉蒙特利爾卻發生了破壞性騷亂,這引發了國際批評。代表多倫多部分地區的國會議員唐·史都華(Don Stewart)在X平台上批評了總理。這位加拿大政治家寫道:「在暴力抗議中,無法無天的抗議者肆意踐踏蒙特利爾。總理卻在跳舞。這就是自由黨政府建設的加拿大。」史都華補充道:「恢復我們曾經認識和熱愛的加拿大的法律和秩序、安全的街道和社區。」杜魯多後來譴責了這種無法無天的行為,稱這次騷亂「令人髮指」。Digital已經聯繫杜魯多的辦公室尋求評論。Chris Massaro、美聯社(The Associated Press)和路透社(Reuters)為本報告做出了貢獻。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
