First patient dosed in YK012 trial-the world’s first TCE therapy for primary membranous nephropathy ACN Newswire

First patient dosed in YK012 trial-the world’s first TCE therapy for primary membranous nephropathy

Key Highlights- Clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of YK012 in primary membranous nephropathy- Globally, this is the first bispecific CD19-directed CD3 T cell engager immunotherapy for this autoimmune disease- Milder T cell activation than Blincyto and Target cell-dependent T cell activation- Multiple CR cases observed in ongoing r/r NHL Phase Ia trial and r/r ALL Phase Ib/II trialHONG KONG, May 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Excyte, a global clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced first patient has been dosed for YK012, the world’s first patient T cell engager that entered into clinical trial for primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). The patient remained well after administration with no adverse reactions witnessed to date.pMN is an autoimmune disease caused by the attack of autoantibodies against podocyte antigens leading to the in situ production of immune complexes. pMN is the most common cause of primary nephrotic syndrome in non-diabetic adults worldwide, accounting for 20% to 37% of affected individuals, and as high as 40% in adults over 60 years of age (1). Currently, 20-30% of pMN cases are resistant to current therapies like rituximab and cyclophosphamide and relapse rates can be high (2).A clear regulatory pathway in this orphan disease in US could make YK012 one of the first approved TCE in the autoimmune space with many other autoimmune and oncology indications to follow. Excyte would file for US investigational new drug (IND) application imminently.The study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of YK012 in PMN patients. Led by Professor Minghui Zhao and Prof Zhao Cui from Peking University First Hospital, the trial is planned to be conducted across multiple centers in China. The clinical trial for this indication in the United States will be collaboratively executed by Excyte and its international partners.“YK012 is a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody targeting both CD19 and CD3, activating T-cell immunity via CD3 while targeting CD19—the most widely expressed tissue-specific marker during B-cell development and thereby enabling B-cell reset. Our data illustrated YK012 mediated significant B cell depletion and have illustrated in current clinical studies extended half-life and limited cytokine release in patients,” said Mr. Andrew Meng, chairman and COO at Excyte. “We look forward to collaborating with regulatory authorities to make YK012 available to this patient population with a high unmet medical need."In December 2024, YK012 obtained Clinical Trial Approval Notice (No. CXSL2400727) from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06982729). With the first patient dosed in pMN, Excyte now has a global presence in autoimmune diseases in additional to oncology indications such as NHL and ALL. Earlier this year, Excyte also secured clinical trial approval for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with Professor Xiaofeng Zeng from Peking Union Medical College Hospital serving as Principal Investigator.About Excyte Biopharma Ltd.Excyte Ltd. was co-founded by Dr Qing’an Yuan and Mr Andrew Meng , biotech industry veterans with decades of antibody engineering experiences. The company has also established a U.S.-based wholly-owned subsidiary, Excyte LLC, forming a dual-engine drug R&D hub spanning China and the U.S. Excyte is dedicated to developing innovative bispecific antibody drugs for hematologic cancers, multiple myeloma, solid tumors, autoimmune diseases, and other conditions.

New Drug Approval for In-House Developed Anti-Insomnia Drug DAYVIGO (Lemborexant) in China JCN Newswire

New Drug Approval for In-House Developed Anti-Insomnia Drug DAYVIGO (Lemborexant) in China

TOKYO, May 28, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that the in-house-discovered and developed orexin receptor antagonist DAYVIGO® (generic name: lemborexant) has been approved in China for the treatment of adults with insomnia, characterized by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance. Eisai plans to launch this medicine in China in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.DAYVIGO is a dual orexin receptor antagonist that inhibits orexin neurotransmission regulating sleep-wake rhythm by binding competitively to the two subtypes of orexin receptors (OX1R and OX2R). DAYVIGO acts on the orexin neurotransmitter system and is believed to facilitate sleep onset, sleep maintenance, and wake by regulating sleep-wake rhythm. DAYVIGO binds to orexin receptors OX1R and OX2R and acts as a competitive antagonist with stronger inhibition effect on OX2R, which suppresses both REM and non-REM sleep drive, such that DAYVIGO may provide faster sleep onset and better sleep maintenance to patients.Eisai submitted an application for approval, which was accepted in January 2024, based on the outcome of two pivotal Phase 3 clinical studies (SUNRISE 1: NCT02783729(New Window) and SUNRISE 2: NCT02952820(New Window)) conducted globally in a total of approximately 2,000 adult patients with insomnia, as well as the outcome of a Phase 3 clinical study (Study 311: NCT04549168(New Window)) conducted in China.Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both despite an adequate opportunity to sleep, that has occured at least three times a week for at least one month, and which can lead to fatigue, difficulty concentrating and irritability(1),(2). The prevalence of insomnia among adults in China is reported to be 15.0%(3), with approximately 172.5 million people thought to suffer from insomnia.(4)DAYVIGO has been approved for the treatment of insomnia in 22 countries and regions, including Japan and the United States, Canada, Australia and countries in Asia.Eisai will continue its efforts to deliver DAYVIGO as a new treatment option to insomnia patients across the world with the hope of contributing to restoration of daytime function and recovery for patients with insomnia by potentially delivering an active daytime life through fast sleep onset and good quality sleep.About DAYVIGO (Generic Name: Lemborexant)DAYVIGO, an orexin receptor antagonist, is Eisai’s in-house discovered and developed small molecule that inhibits orexin neurotransmission by binding competitively to the two subtypes of orexin receptors (orexin receptor 1 and 2). Fast on/off receptor kinetics of lemborexant to orexin receptors may influence lemborexant’s potential to facilitate improvements in sleep onset and maintenance with minimal morning residual effects. It has been approved for the treatment of insomnia in 22 countries including Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia and countries in Asia.(1) Ferrie JE, et al.

Turki timbang warganya di tempat awam untuk memerangi obesiti, pengkritik mengecam tindakan itu sebagai perbuatan memalukan golongan gemuk

(SeaPRwire) - Turki sedang berusaha bersungguh-sungguh dalam memerangi obesiti.Negara itu telah melancarkan kempen di seluruh negara untuk mengukur berat badan rakyat di tempat awam untuk memerangi peningkatan — satu langkah yang dikritik sebagai memalukan orang gemuk di khalayak ramai dan campur tangan kerajaan yang berlebihan.Inisiatif yang dipanggil kempen "Ketahui Berat Badan Ideal Anda, Hidup Sihat" ini akan menyaksikan sekitar 10 juta orang dinilai antara 10 Mei dan 10 Julai. Jika mereka dianggap berlebihan berat badan, mereka akan diarahkan ke pusat kesihatan untuk menerima kaunseling pemakanan dan pemantauan oleh pakar diet, menurut Langkah kontroversi ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesedaran tentang bahaya berat badan kronik dan untuk menggalakkan gaya hidup yang lebih sihat.Menteri Kesihatan Turki, Kemal Memişoğlu memperkenalkan inisiatif itu awal bulan ini, menyatakan bahawa kakitangan kesihatan akan mengambil ukuran di tempat awam di semua 81 wilayah, lapor media Turki.Pelbagai imej yang disiarkan ke media sosial oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Turki menunjukkan pegawai kesihatan mengambil ukuran ketinggian orang ramai sebelum membimbing mereka ke atas penimbang berat di tempat yang dipanggil pusat pemeriksaan di tempat awam.Individu mempunyai berat badan dan ketinggian mereka diukur untuk mengira indeks jisim badan (BMI) mereka, pengiraan mudah yang digunakan untuk menilai sama ada seseorang mempunyai berat badan yang sihat untuk ketinggian mereka.Jika seseorang mempunyai BMI 25 atau lebih tinggi, mereka akan dirujuk ke .Inisiatif itu telah mendapat tindak balas, dengan pengkritik mengecamnya sebagai invasif, menstigmatisasi dan pada dasarnya menyamai perbuatan memalukan orang gemuk di khalayak ramai. Pengkritik lain berpendapat bahawa kerajaan tidak menangani faktor penyumbang yang lebih luas seperti harga makanan yang melambung tinggi, gaji yang tidak meningkat dan akses terhad kepada pemakanan yang berpatutan.Gökben Hızlı Sayar, seorang pakar psikiatri dan akademik Turki, menyamakan stesen itu dengan pusat pemeriksaan lemak dan berkata dia terpaksa diukur."Saya terperangkap dalam pertunjukan kereta gemuk di Dataran Üsküdar, dia menulis di X minggu lepas. "Mujurlah, mereka menegur saya sedikit dan membiarkan saya pergi. Apabila saya melihat radar, saya memberi amaran kepada 3 orang gemuk yang akan pergi ke arah itu untuk memancarkan lampu depan mereka antara satu sama lain. Hari ini adalah hari perpaduan, saudara-saudara gemuk saya."Menteri kesihatan, bagaimanapun, berkata matlamatnya adalah untuk memaklumkan kepada orang ramai dan menjadikan mereka lebih sihat.Dalam usaha untuk memimpin melalui teladan, Memişoğlu sendiri diukur dan mendedahkan bahawa dia melebihi had, walaupun tidak jelas dengan berapa banyak."Pakar diet mana yang patut saya jumpa?" dia bergurau kepada wartawan sebelum kemudian menambah, "ternyata saya sedikit lebih. Terserah kepada saya sekarang, saya akan setiap hari," lapor Turkish Minute.Memişoğlu juga menyiarkan video dirinya berjalan, menulis, "tiba masanya untuk memulakan kerja, kita akan berjalan setiap hari." mempunyai populasi sekitar 85 juta orang dan sekitar 32.1% dianggap gemuk, menurut Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia. Sesiapa sahaja yang mempunyai BMI lebih daripada 30 dianggap obes.Kadar itu masih lebih rendah berbanding di Amerika Syarikat, di mana kajian terbaru oleh CDC menunjukkan obesiti dalam kalangan orang dewasa pada 40.3%.Pakar mengaitkan kadar di Turki dengan peningkatan penggunaan makanan segera, halangan ekonomi kepada makanan sihat dan pembandaran yang mengurangkan tahap aktiviti fizikal, menurut .Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Sesuai untuk seorang raja? Bekas Perdana Menteri Trudeau memakai kasut sneakers untuk melihat ucapan takhta Raja Charles

(SeaPRwire) - Jika diplomasi adalah teater, berjalan di atas pentas dengan berpakaian untuk menyambut kerabat diraja.Bekas perdana menteri Kanada itu membuat kemunculan yang menarik perhatian pada acara diraja hari Selasa di Ottawa, menghadiri Ucapan dari Takhta yang bersejarah, bukan dengan kasut kulit brogues atau Oxfords yang dijangkakan, tetapi dengan sepasang Adidas Gazelles berwarna turquoise dan jingga. Pilihan pakaian yang mungkin sesuai dalam suasana yang lebih kasual, mungkin kurang sesuai di dewan Senat, terutamanya apabila kerabat diraja berada di dalam bilik.Walaupun Trudeau menjadi tajuk utama kerana pilihan kasutnya, Raja Charles III dan Permaisuri Camilla untuk lawatan penting selama dua hari, yang pertama sejak menjadi raja pada tahun 2022. Raja, 76, sedang menjalani rawatan kanser dan jadualnya terhad, tetapi keputusan untuk pergi ke Ottawa dilihat secara meluas sebagai isyarat sokongan simbolik untuk Kanada semasa tempoh ketegangan.Lawatan itu menyusuli yang mencadangkan bahawa Kanada boleh menjadi negeri ke-51 Amerika Syarikat, kenyataan yang ditolak secara terbuka oleh pemimpin Kanada. Perdana Menteri Mark Carney menjemput raja untuk membuka sesi Parlimen Kanada yang ke-45, menjadikannya raja pertama yang berbuat demikian sejak Ratu Elizabeth II pada tahun 1977. Carney sebelum ini menyatakan bahawa Kanada "tidak untuk dijual sekarang, tidak untuk dijual selama-lamanya," mesej yang disuarakan oleh utusan Kanada ke U.K., Ralph Goodale, yang berkata lawatan raja "mengukuhkan kuasa dan kekuatan mesej itu."Semasa ucapannya di dewan Senat, Raja Charles menekankan kemerdekaan dan ketahanan Kanada. "Kutub utara yang sebenar sememangnya kuat dan bebas," katanya.Charles, yang juga mengadakan pertemuan peribadi dengan Carney dan Gabenor Jeneral Mary Simon, berkhidmat sebagai ketua negara Kanada, seperti yang dilakukannya untuk 14 alam Komanwel yang lain. Lawatan itu berlaku ketika Perdana Menteri U.K. Keir Starmer sedang menjalin hubungan yang lebih erat dengan pentadbiran Trump mengenai isu perdagangan dan antarabangsa, termasuk Ukraine.Walaupun aspek upacara lawatan itu menarik perhatian, acara itu mengukuhkan kedudukan semasa Kanada di pentas dunia dan peranan monarki dalam mengukuhkan status itu.Dari segi fesyen, kasut Adidas Trudeau sekurang-kurangnya bergaya, secara harfiah. Adidas Gazelle sebagai fesyen asas yang kekal, dengan memperhatikan siluet yang diilhamkan oleh '70-an dan profil yang tenang dan sejuk. Dalam artikel April 2024 bertajuk "Why Our Obsession With Adidas Gazelles Shows No Sign of Fading," Joy Montgomery menggelar kasut itu sebagai "pelatih fesyen" dengan daya tarikan yang abadi, tetapi itu tidak semestinya diterjemahkan kepada protokol diraja.Seorang pemerhati berseloroh, "Kasut Justin Trudeau, hari ini, di Parlimen! Juga di Parlimen hari ini – Raja Charles," tweet @margareta_matis. Emily Ferguson mencelah dengan sindiran: "Pelari persaraan mungkin..?" Seolah-olah mesej itu tidak jelas, Dimitris Soudas, bekas ketua komunikasi kepada Stephen Harper, menyampaikan keputusannya dengan senyap: "Saya tidak tahu apa yang hendak dikatakan." Di dalam bilik yang dipenuhi dengan gabenor jeneral, perdana menteri, pemimpin Orang Asli, dan penghormatan ketenteraan, Adidas suede Trudeau juga menampakkan kehadirannya.Raja Charles membuka ucapan itu dengan pengakuan tanah dan segera menekankan "identiti unik" dan "kedaulatan yang berterusan" Kanada, gema halus mesej baru-baru ini Perdana Menteri Carney kepada . Ucapan Charles, yang kebanyakannya ditulis oleh kerajaan Kanada tetapi diselang-seli dengan sentuhannya sendiri, menunjuk kepada matlamat ekonomi yang bercita-cita tinggi."Setiap kali saya datang ke Kanada ... sedikit lagi Kanada meresap ke dalam aliran darah saya, dan dari situ terus ke hati saya," katanya.Sementara itu, Trudeau mendapati dirinya duduk di sebelah Harper, saingan politik lamanya, dan kedua-duanya dilihat dalam perbualan yang rancak, dengan tangan berterbangan. Tidak diketahui apa yang mereka bincangkan.Untuk memetik seorang raja yang berbeza, "Well, you can do anything, but stay off of my blue suede shoes."'

Kennedy dan Milei menggandakan usaha keluar dari WHO selepas pertemuan di Buenos Aires: ‘Bebas daripada kawalan totalitarian’

(SeaPRwire) - U.S. Health and Human Services bertemu dengan Presiden Argentina Javier Milei pada hari Selasa di Casa Rosada, di mana kedua-dua pemimpin mengesahkan semula rancangan untuk menarik balik negara mereka daripada World Health Organization (WHO) dan membina rangka kerja kesihatan antarabangsa yang baharu.Pertemuan itu menemukan dua tokoh politik yang bersemangat tinggi. Milei, seorang ahli ekonomi libertarian yang terkenal dengan pemotongan perbelanjaan kerajaan, dan Kennedy, seorang ketua kesihatan yang dilantik oleh Trump yang skeptikal terhadap mandat era pandemik. Kedua-duanya berjanji untuk mencabar apa yang mereka sebut sebagai capaian global yang berlebihan dan dasar kesihatan yang dipolitikkan. daripada WHO semasa lawatan Kennedy, berikutan pengumuman awal Milei pada bulan Februari. Langkah ini selaras dengan janji Presiden Trump yang dihidupkan semula untuk menarik keluar A.S. daripada WHO sebagai sebahagian daripada agenda "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) beliau.Kerajaan Milei mengecam WHO atas apa yang mereka sebut sebagai tindak balas COVID yang gagal. "Preskripsi WHO tidak berkesan kerana ia tidak berdasarkan sains tetapi pada kepentingan politik dan struktur birokrasi yang enggan menyemak kesilapan mereka sendiri," kata kerajaan itu, merujuk kepada strategi perintah berkurung kumpulan itu sebagai "kuarantin zaman gua."Kennedy menawarkan sokongan, menggalakkan negara-negara lain untuk juga dalam ucapan baru-baru ini kepada World Health Assembly. Beliau berhujah bahawa organisasi itu dikompromi oleh kerajaan asing dan kepentingan korporat, dan pendekatan baharu diperlukan.Selepas pertemuan itu, : "Saya mengadakan pertemuan yang indah dengan Presiden Milei mengenai pengeluaran bersama negara kita daripada WHO dan penciptaan sistem kesihatan antarabangsa alternatif... bebas daripada dorongan totalitarian, rasuah, dan kawalan politik."Kedua-dua kerajaan mengatakan bahawa pakatan baharu itu akan mengutamakan sains sebenar, kebebasan individu, dan kedaulatan negara, menolak apa yang pasukan Milei sebut sebagai "campur tangan" daripada agensi global.Pertemuan itu juga menyoroti falsafah yang dikongsi antara kedua-dua pemimpin. Milei memegang jawatan dengan berikrar untuk mengurangkan perbelanjaan awam Argentina yang besar. Beliau terkenal membawa gergaji rantai semasa kempennya untuk melambangkan pemotongan bajet—dan sejak itu telah melaksanakannya, memotong gaji awam, menghentikan projek negeri, dan menamatkan subsidi tenaga.Langkah tegas beliau telah menghasilkan keputusan: Argentina mencatatkan lebihan bajet pertamanya dalam hampir 15 tahun dan mengurangkan inflasi bulanan dengan ketara.Kempen MAHA Kennedy mengulangi gaya anti-penubuhan Milei, tetapi dalam sektor kesihatan. agenda kesihatan telah memberi tumpuan kepada mengurangkan capaian persekutuan, menguatkuasakan dasar berasaskan sains, dan menggalakkan ketelusan dalam kesihatan awam.Pertemuan hari Selasa menandakan penjajaran yang lebih mendalam antara Argentina dan pentadbiran A.S. semasa. Milei telah mengalu-alukan pegawai tertinggi Amerika dalam beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini dan menunjukkan minat yang jelas dalam membina hubungan yang kukuh dengan Washington. Kini, dengan menyertai A.S. dalam menolak WHO, Milei menjadi pemimpin asing pertama yang secara terbuka menyokong usaha kedaulatan kesihatan Trump.Keputusan itu merupakan penyimpangan utama daripada perkongsian antarabangsa Argentina sebelum ini dan boleh menandakan perubahan bagi negara lain yang mempertimbangkan langkah serupa. Kedua-dua Milei dan Kennedy telah membingkaikan inisiatif itu sebagai permulaan rangkaian kesihatan global yang lebih bertanggungjawab dan bebas.Pengkritik, , memberi amaran bahawa meninggalkan WHO boleh mengehadkan akses kepada pembiayaan dan vaksin. Pakar kesihatan global sebahagian besarnya mempertahankan peranan WHO, walaupun mengakui kesilapan COVIDnya.Tetapi Milei dan Kennedy kelihatan tidak gentar. Menteri kesihatan Argentina memuji "visi" bersama antara kedua-dua kerajaan, menekankan komitmen bersama terhadap ketelusan dan pembaharuan.U.S. Department of Health and Human Services tidak segera menjawab permintaan Digital untuk komen.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Rusia, China, Korea Utara mengecam perisai peluru berpandu Golden Dome $175 bilion Trump

(SeaPRwire) - Pihak lawan utama A.S., Rusia, Korea Utara dan China, yang kesemuanya adalah negara bersenjata nuklear, telah mengutuk rancangan pertahanan berasaskan angkasa lepas Presiden yang digelar "Golden Dome" sebagai "berbahaya" dan ancaman kepada kestabilan global.Presiden membincangkan rancangannya yang bernilai $175 bilion, yang akan menggunakan satelit dan teknologi lain untuk mengesan dan memintas serangan peluru berpandu "walaupun ia dilancarkan dari bahagian lain dunia," kata Trump minggu lalu.Rancangan pertahanan itu, walaupun ia dipercayai masih di peringkat sebelum beroperasi sepenuhnya walaupun Trump menetapkan sasaran tiga tahun, mencetuskan tindak balas keras daripada pesaing utama A.S., yang menyasarkan secara langsung apa yang mereka gelar "keangkuhan" Trump.Kementerian luar Korea Utara, yang pemimpinnya berkongsi dengan Trump semasa penggal pertamanya, menyifatkannya sebagai bersamaan dengan "senario perang nuklear angkasa lepas" yang menyokong strategi pentadbiran untuk "penguasaan uni-kutub."Menurut saluran media tempatan, kementerian itu pada hari Selasa berkata ia adalah "produk tipikal 'America first', puncak kepada sikap penting diri, keangkuhan, kuku besi dan amalan sewenang-wenangnya."White House tidak segera menjawab soalan ’ Digital mengenai reaksi terhadap rancangan itu, yang bertujuan menyerupai keupayaan pertahanan "Iron Dome" Israel.Tetapi kementerian luar Korea Utara mendakwa strategi pertahanan itu sebenarnya adalah "cubaan untuk ketenteraan angkasa lepas" dan "secara preemptif mencapai keunggulan ketenteraan dalam semua aspek."Begitu juga, pada hari Selasa, Menteri Luar Rusia Maria Zakharova berkata strategi itu akan menjejaskan asas kestabilan strategik dengan mewujudkan , lapor Reuters.Tetapi komennya bukanlah kali pertama Moscow menyelaraskan kecaman terhadap "Golden Dome" kerana ia mengeluarkan kenyataan bersama dengan China awal bulan ini selepas Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin dan Presiden China Xi Jinping bertemu untuk .Kedua-duanya menggelar rancangan itu "sangat tidak menentu" dan mendakwa ia menghakis "perkaitan tidak terpisahkan antara senjata ofensif strategik dan senjata defensif strategik."Mereka juga bahawa ia akan mengubah "angkasa lepas menjadi persekitaran untuk menempatkan senjata dan arena untuk konfrontasi bersenjata."Rusia kekal agak senyap dalam tindak balasnya berikutan perbincangan Trump di Oval Office mengenai Golden Dome, yang berlaku hanya dua hari selepas Trump mengadakan dengan Putin.Tetapi mengulangi bantahannya terhadap rancangan itu, dan berikutan pengumuman Trump mengenainya, Jurucakap Kementerian Luar Mao Ning berkata minggu lalu, "Projek itu akan meningkatkan risiko mengubah angkasa lepas menjadi zon perang dan mewujudkan perlumbaan senjata angkasa lepas, dan menggoyahkan keselamatan antarabangsa dan sistem kawalan senjata."Setiausaha Pertahanan Pete Hegseth telah menolak dakwaan bahawa rancangan itu boleh dilihat sebagai strategi "ofensif" dan memberitahu Digital, "Apa yang kami pedulikan hanyalah melindungi tanah air."Morgan Phillips menyumbang kepada laporan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Bekas jurucakap kerajaan Israel memberi amaran negara berada dalam ‘dilema mustahil’ di Gaza

(SeaPRwire) - Selepas lebih daripada setahun setengah peperangan, Israel mendapati dirinya berada dalam "dilema yang mustahil" ketika ia cuba mengalahkan Hamas dan membawa pulang baki tebusan, kata bekas jurucakap kerajaan Israel, Eylon Levy.Dalam wawancara dengan Digital, Levy berkata bahawa adalah penting Hamas tidak kekal berkuasa — dan juga penting untuk menyelamatkan tebusan yang meringkuk di dalam terowong di bawah Gaza."Jika perang ini berakhir dengan rejim Hamas yang melakukan serangan 7 Oktober masih berkuasa, ia tidak akan berakhir, ia hanya akan berhenti seketika, dan perang seterusnya hanya menunggu masa," kata Levy. "Rakyat Israel tidak mahu perang. Kita perlu perang ini berakhir, tetapi kita perlu perang ini berakhir dengan kekalahan total rejim Hamas, atau ini bukan perang Gaza yang terakhir."Israel telah menghadapi kritikan antarabangsa berhubung pengendalian perang di Gaza, dengan U.K., Perancis dan Kanada mengeluarkan kenyataan bersama awal bulan ini yang menuntut agar Jerusalem menamatkan operasi ketenteraannya di Semenanjung Gaza. U.K. juga menggantung rundingan perdagangan dengan Israel kerana bantahan London terhadap perang itu. Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu menuduh Perdana Menteri U.K. Keir Starmer, Presiden Perancis Emmanuel Macron dan Perdana Menteri Kanada Mark Carney berada "di pihak yang salah dalam kemanusiaan.""Saya rasa sesiapa yang mengkritik Israel perlu menghasilkan pelan yang lebih baik untuk bagaimana anda , kerana jika tidak, mereka hanya memberikannya kuasa politik dan cuba menyelamatkannya daripada perang yang dimulakannya," kata Levy kepada Digital.Masyarakat antarabangsa telah memberi tekanan kepada Israel berhubung pertukaran tebusan. Jerusalem telah ditekan untuk membebaskan tahanan Palestin sebagai pertukaran untuk pembebasan tebusan yang diambil pada 7 Oktober. Levy mengakui bahawa walaupun Israel tidak boleh meninggalkan tebusan, terdapat kebimbangan yang sah mengenai pembebasan ini. "Israel menghadapi dilema yang mustahil kerana Hamas menuntut pengambil tebusan masa depan untuk tebusan hari ini," kata Levy.Levy juga menegur masyarakat antarabangsa, dengan mengatakan bahawa kebanyakan negara tidak akan "membayar wang tebusan kepada pengambil tebusan pengganas.""Inilah absurditi tekanan antarabangsa terhadap Israel untuk membayar wang tebusan. Kebanyakan negara tidak membayar wang tebusan kepada pengambil tebusan pengganas kerana mereka faham ia hanya memberi insentif kepada lebih banyak pengambilan tebusan, ia menghadiahkannya, ia menggalakkan lebih banyak lagi," kata Levy kepada Digital. "Israel telah membayar wang tebusan untuk mengeluarkan tebusan dalam dua gencatan senjata kerana kami katakan kami tahu bahayanya, kami tahu ia berisiko, tetapi kami perlu mengeluarkan orang-orang malang ini yang kebuluran dan diseksa dan juga dihukum mati di penjara bawah tanah."Levy percaya Israel "mendapati dirinya terhalang di sepanjang jalan" ketika negara-negara yang pada awalnya menyokong usaha untuk mengalahkan Hamas "cepat berasa takut" ketika mereka memahami apa yang akan terlibat dalam menyingkirkan kumpulan pengganas itu dari kuasa.Melihat gambaran yang lebih besar, Levy tertanya-tanya jika Israel telah mengambil strategi yang berbeza dari hari pertama, sama ada perang akan berakhir lebih awal, walaupun dia mengakui ia bermakna "mencabar tekanan antarabangsa." "Saya tertanya-tanya jika itu adalah strategi dari awal—mencabar tekanan antarabangsa—maka mungkin perang itu akan berakhir lebih awal," kata Levy. "Tetapi sekali lagi, Israel terperangkap dalam ikatan yang mustahil ini kerana masih ada tebusan yang terperangkap di Gaza, yang mana Hamas mengancam untuk membunuh mereka jika tentera Israel menghampiri mereka untuk cuba menyelamatkan mereka."Ini bukan ancaman baharu atau kosong. Beberapa bekas tebusan melaporkan diancam dan berkata mereka diberitahu bahawa penawan mereka akan membunuh mereka jika tentera Israel menghampiri. Enam bekas tebusan lain, termasuk Hersh Goldberg-Polin warga Amerika-Israel, menemui nasib ini apabila mereka ditembak mati sejurus sebelum IDF dapat mencapai mereka.Tidak semua rakan antarabangsa Israel telah berpaling tadah terhadap negara Yahudi itu. Pendekatan Amerika terhadap Netanyahu berubah apabila Presiden kembali ke White House. Walaupun pentadbiran Biden memberi lebih banyak tekanan kepada Netanyahu, Trump nampaknya menyokong Israel melakukan apa yang perlu untuk menamatkan perang.Levy memberitahu Digital bahawa "Rakyat Israel pasti mendapat tanggapan bahawa pentadbiran Trump menyokong Israel dan bersedia untuk menyokong sebarang strategi ketenteraan yang ingin dilaksanakan, tetapi terdapat juga tanda-tanda pentadbiran Trump, anda tahu, mungkin mahu menyelesaikan ini dengan cepat."Sejak Trump kembali ke Oval Office, berpuluh-puluh tebusan telah dibebaskan, termasuk Keith Siegel, Sagui Dekel-Chen dan Edan Alexander warga Amerika-Israel.Cuba mengeluarkan tebusan dari bahaya sambil juga mengeluarkan Hamas daripada kuasa nampaknya merupakan matlamat yang bercanggah—sesuatu yang Levy akui, dengan berkata, "Kita tidak mampu membayar wang tebusan ini, tetapi kita juga tidak mampu untuk tidak membayarnya."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Letupan kilang kimia di China mengorbankan sekurang-kurangnya 5 nyawa

(SeaPRwire) - Sekurang-kurangnya lima orang terkorban dan enam lagi hilang pada hari Selasa berikutan letupan besar di sebuah kilang kimia di timur.Video yang dirakam selepas letupan di kemudahan Gaomi Youdao Chemical Co. di Weifang menunjukkan tiang asap besar naik ke langit.Letupan itu cukup kuat sehingga memecahkan tingkap di sebuah gudang yang terletak lebih dari dua batu jauhnya, menurut Associated Press.Seorang pelajar di sebuah sekolah yang terletak kira-kira 1,000 ela dari kilang itu memberitahu laman berita kendalian kerajaan The Paper bahawa dia mendengar satu letupan dan melihat asap berwarna kuning tanah, dicemari dengan kemerahan, naik dari kilang itu. Dia berkata terdapat bau yang lucu, dan semua pelajar diberi topeng dan diarahkan untuk tidak menanggalkannya. Punca letupan itu tidak dapat dipastikan serta-merta.Sekurang-kurangnya lima orang terkorban dan 19 cedera, kata pihak berkuasa pengurusan kecemasan tempatan.Gaomi Youdao Chemical Co. mengeluarkan racun perosak serta bahan kimia untuk kegunaan perubatan, dan mempunyai lebih daripada 500 pekerja, menurut rekod pendaftaran korporat.Lebih daripada 230 anggota pertama pergi ke lokasi letupan itu.Kejadian itu berlaku kurang daripada dua minggu selepas Kementerian Pengurusan Kecemasan Kebangsaan mengadakan bengkel mengenai pencegahan dan pengawalan risiko dalam usaha Beijing menggesa pegawai di taman perindustrian kimia untuk meningkatkan keupayaan mereka dalam "mengurus bahan kimia berbahaya." Tahun lepas, kilang kimia itu telah disebut kerana "risiko keselamatan" sekurang-kurangnya dua kali, tetapi pada bulan September ia dipuji oleh Biro Pengurusan Kecemasan Weifang kerana menyelesaikan perkara tersebut.Pegawai di kilang itu mengenal pasti lebih daripada 800 bahaya keselamatan dalam tempoh lapan bulan pertama tahun 2024 dan membetulkan kesemuanya, kata biro itu, menurut AP.Sebuah kompleks gudang yang menyimpan sejumlah besar bahan kimia berbahaya terbakar dan meletup di Tianjin pada tahun 2015, menyebabkan 173 orang terkorban atau hilang.Pada tahun 2019, 78 orang terbunuh dalam letupan di sebuah kilang kimia di Yancheng di wilayah pesisir timur China, Jiangsu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Putin menolak desakan Vatican oleh Trump ketika Kremlin menuduhnya ’emosional’: utusan Kellogg

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin telah menolak desakan Presiden Trump untuk mengadakan pusingan rundingan damai Rusia-Ukraine seterusnya di Vatican – idea yang telah diutarakan oleh presiden sejak pemimpin agama Amerika yang baru dilantik, mencadangkannya awal bulan ini.Utusan Khas Keith Kellogg mengesahkan berita itu semasa bercakap di "Fox & Friends" pada pagi Selasa apabila beliau berkata, "Pihak Rusia tidak mahu pergi ke sana" dan mencadangkan bahawa sebaliknya rundingan itu boleh diadakan seterusnya di .Walaupun masih tidak jelas bila pusingan rundingan seterusnya akan diadakan kerana Rusia masih belum bersetuju dengan cadangan damai A.S. dan kementerian luar negerinya pada hari Selasa mendakwa ia masih mengusahakan memorandum terma-terma.Trump pada hari Selasa menggunakan media sosial untuk mengeluarkan amaran kepada Putin dan berkata beliau "bermain dengan api.""Apa yang Vladimir Putin tidak sedari adalah jika bukan kerana saya, banyak perkara yang sangat buruk sudah akan berlaku kepada Rusia, dan saya maksudkan SANGAT BURUK," katanya. "Dia bermain dengan api!"Begitu juga, Presiden Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy menuduh Moscow "bermain permainan" selepas ia menjalankan serangan dron terbesar dalam perang selama tiga tahun dalam satu di mana Rusia melancarkan 335 dron dan sembilan peluru berpandu kruise ke sasaran awam.Serangan itu mendorong Trump untuk mengutuk Putin sebagai "gila" dalam platform media sosial, Truth Social."Saya sentiasa mempunyai hubungan yang sangat baik dengan Rusia, tetapi sesuatu telah berlaku kepadanya," kata Trump pada hari Ahad. "Dia sudah menjadi GILA sepenuhnya!Dia membunuh ramai orang tanpa perlu, dan saya bukan hanya bercakap tentang askar. Peluru berpandu dan dron ditembak ke bandar-bandar di Ukraine, tanpa sebarang sebab," tambahnya.Trump mengambil langkah lebih jauh dan memberi amaran kepada Putin bahawa jika beliau cuba mengambil "semua Ukraine...ia akan membawa kepada kejatuhan Rusia."Kremlin membalas kenyataan Trump dan menuduhnya "emosional."Apabila ditanya tentang komen presiden, jurucakap Kremlin Dmitry Peskov berkata, "Kami sangat berterima kasih kepada rakyat Amerika dan kepada Presiden Trump secara peribadi atas bantuan mereka dalam menganjurkan dan melancarkan ini."Ini adalah saat yang sangat penting, yang dikaitkan, sudah tentu, dengan beban emosi semua orang dan dengan reaksi emosi," tambahnya, menurut laporan Reuters.Tetapi Trump tidak mengehadkan serangan verbalnya kepada Putin dalam catatan media sosialnya dan mendakwa Zelenskyy "tidak memberi kebaikan kepada negaranya dengan bercakap seperti itu.""Semua yang keluar dari mulutnya menyebabkan masalah, saya tidak suka, dan lebih baik ia berhenti," tambahnya, walaupun tidak jelas apa yang dikatakan Zelenskyy yang mendorong reaksi ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

As flagship events of International Healthcare Week (IHW), both ASGH and the Medical Fair brought global healthcare stakeholders together, including government officials and organisations, research pioneers, investors, and business leaders. ASGH attracted over 2,900 participants from 42 countries and regions, while the Medical Fair received some 13,000 buyers from 57 countries and regions. Over 390 one-on-one deal-making sessions and more than 660 business matching meetings were arranged, facilitating over 1,000 high-quality collaborations and connections. The IHW continues to foster global exchange and cooperation, putting a spotlight on Hong Kong’s vast potential in healthcare investment and trade, and reinforcing its position as a regional leading medical hub.Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, said: "The Asia Summit on Global Health and the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair concluded with outstanding results driving new collaborations and investments, and injecting new momentum into the healthcare industry. The events brought together leaders across government, business, academia, and investment to tackle today’s healthcare challenges, highlighting Hong Kong’s unique advantages as an international innovation and technology hub under its ‘eight centres’ positioning, actively advancing medical technology, connecting global innovation resources, and paving the way for a healthier and more inclusive future."Over 80 industry experts shared insights on healthcare developmentThe two-day ASGH, jointly organised by the HKSAR Government and the HKTDC under the theme ‘Fostering Global Collaboration for a Shared Future’, focused on a wide spectrum of topics including public health, medical technology breakthroughs, healthy ageing and global business and investment collaboration. The event featured more than 80 speakers comprising government officials and organisations, research pioneers, investors, and business leaders from around the world, all contributing valuable insights to advance global well-being.Prof Lo Chung-mau, Secretary for Health of the HKSAR Government, delivered a keynote speech during the Plenary Session I: Shaping a More Equitable and Sustainable Health System. Other distinguished speakers, including Dr Wu Xiaobin, Vice President of China Pharmaceutical Innovation and Research Development Association; Martin Taylor, Representative to China, World Health Organization; Prof Nancy Ip, President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; and Frédéric Rimattei, Special Envoy for International Affairs of the President of French University Hospitals National Association, shared their insights on tackling global healthcare challenges, offering inspiration for the international healthcare community.In Plenary Session II: Fostering Global Collaboration for a Shared Future, speakers engaged in a lively discussion on trends in global healthcare collaboration. Among them was Ambassador George Hara, Group Chairman and CEO of DEFTA Partners and former Special Advisor to the Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister of Japan, who remarked that more advanced technology and new government regulations are needed to reach a compromise between companies' profits and patients' needs.During the Dialogue with Global Pioneer in Health session, Prof John Hardy, Chair of Molecular Biology of Neurological Disease of UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, shared his latest research findings and advanced developments in Alzheimer's disease.The summit co-organised sessions under the overarching theme, Shaping the Future of Healthcare, with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology for the first time. The discussion focused on the potential of AI in healthcare and how innovation could drive breakthroughs in the field. Dr Alex Ng, President of Tencent Healthcare, commented: “One uniqueness of tech companies is that they can be easily distracted by the latest thing. But you do need companies with patience and perseverance to stay in healthcare and make it work.” Prof Graham Cooke, Vice-Dean (Research) Medicine of Imperial College London, also noted that embedding patient needs into healthcare systems is critical, as many innovations fail in translation due to a lack of this focus, with universities playing a key role as innovation drivers.In Beyond ‘Healthy China 2030’: Driving Health Innovation, speakers explored opportunities in the mainland healthcare market. Marc Horn, Executive Vice President of Merck and President of Merck China, highlighted the two-phase approach of "China for China" followed by "China for the globe”, emphasising healthcare collaboration to develop advanced treatments for global benefit. Dr Zhang Lianshan, Executive Vice President of Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., stated: "We would like to see our health innovation have realisation of its value, not only in China, but also outside of China. That is why we are talking about Globalisation, where we can achieve maximum value."With growing global attention on healthy ageing, the summit introduced a dedicated Silver Health Chapter. A highlight was the thematic session titled Surfing the Silver Tsunami: Advancements in Geriatrics and Longevity Technology, where Prof Jean Woo, Director of Chinese University of Hong Kong Jockey Club Institute of Ageing, Prof James L. Kirkland, Director of Cedars-Sinai’s Centre for Advanced Gerotherapeutics, and fellow experts explored both the challenges and opportunities posed by ageing populations. Prof Jean Woo highlighted that rapid population ageing is reshaping the global healthcare and socioeconomic landscape. As a city with one of the world’s longest life expectancies, Hong Kong must take early action to strengthen elderly care policies and better allocate health resources. Prof James L. Kirkland also noted that geriatricians ultimately aim to help patients with multiple illnesses reduce medication use while treating their conditions more effectively, enhancing their overall quality of life.Over 390 deal-making sessions and cooperation agreements open new global opportunitiesA key feature of the summit was the ASGH Deal-Making session, which facilitated one-on-one meetings both online and offline, aiming to connect investors and projects in the healthcare sector from around the world to promote global collaborations. Investment projects spanned pharmaceuticals, medical devices and diagnostics, smart healthcare, and community health and wellness and more than 390 one-on-one meetings were successfully arranged for angel investors, venture capitalists, corporate venture arms, private equity firms and family offices.The summit facilitated the signing of cooperation agreements, such as those between Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong and Emerging Viral Diagnostics, and a tripartite collaboration with PanopticAI and SmartCare, HKSH Medical Group and United Imaging Healthcare, China Resources Guangdong Pharmaceuticals and Hong Kong Medtech Association, Hugobiotech and Bridgeway Healthcare Technology, Canossa Hospital and KA Imaging, and others. These agreements covered diverse healthcare areas, including patient care, diagnostic solutions, innovative medical devices, medical imaging and more. Under the tripartite collaboration agreement between Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong, PanopticAI, and SmartCare, the integration of PanopticAI’s camera-based vital signs monitoring technology and SmartCare’s patient-centered consultation platform will be implemented into Gleneagles clinic in the future.In addition to its discussion sessions, the summit also featured the ASGH Business Hub, showcasing more than 170 innovative technology companies related to the healthcare industry from 13 countries and regions, including the mainland (Shanghai and Xiamen), Australia, and Thailand, presenting projects and solutions across key areas such as medical innovation, smart healthcare, AI, big data, telemedicine, and cybersecurity. Zhong Wei, Co-founder of Mitrassist Lifesciences, joined the Shanghai Pavilion and said that ASGH helped them bring non-invasive medical monitoring technologies to Southeast Asia, Africa, and other Belt and Road Initiative countries.Medical Fair Drives Industry Innovation and Fosters Business CollaborationThe Medical Fair, organised by the HKTDC and co-organised by the Hong Kong MedTech Association, was held alongside ASGH. The Association—formerly known as the Hong Kong Medical and Healthcare Device Industries Association—held a renaming ceremony during the fair, showcasing the deep integration of medical technology and the industry.The fair brought together some 300 exhibitors from 13 countries and regions, featuring first-time pavilions from the United Kingdom, Thailand and Israel, along with debut exhibitors from Singapore, Germany, Italy and Luxembourg. In addition, seven local universities, over 30 innovative technology companies at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks pavilion, and more than 20 medical enterprises brought by the Hong Kong MedTech Association participated. The Hong Kong Council of Social Service also participated in the fair for the first time. Under the theme Innovations Boosting Smart Health Experience, the exhibition spotlighted three major areas: MedTech, GeronTech and green solutions, with many exhibits featuring applications of AI.Many exhibitors and buyers successfully expanded their networks and forged new partnerships at the exhibition. Among them was Hong Kong exhibitor Eieling Technology, a company founded to commercialise research outcomes from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The firm showcased its non-invasive liver examination technology, which utilises transient elastography technology. Co-founder and CEO Xiaojia Jia noted that only about four companies worldwide possess this technology, making it a major draw for buyers. "During the exhibition, we received intention orders worth several million Hong Kong dollars from mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Thailand, involving around ten devices. This is our third year participating, and we've observed a significant rise in buyers' professionalism during our discussions. We look forward to exhibiting again next year."Karel Lee, CEO of Neoneco from Korea, sourced innovative medical products at the fair with a minimum budget of USD100,000 and he has already identified RhinoCare, an exhibitor from the Israeli pavilion, for its nasal decongestion device, and is also interested in a medical examination device from a Hong Kong exhibitor. Lee stated, "The exhibition allows us to meet with exhibitors face-to-face, build trust, and accelerate the decision-making process. The HKTDC’s Click2Match platform also facilitated efficient business matching. I have already connected with ten exhibitors, and another twenty reached out to me after learning about my sourcing needs. This is one of Asia's premium medical sourcing events, and we will definitely return next year."Beyond business deals, insightful forums were arranged during the Medical Fair to give inspiration to industry buyers. These included The Latest Development of Regulatory Collaboration on Medical Devices in the Greater Bay Area, The MedTech Nexus of the Greater Bay Area, co-organised with the Hong Kong MedTech Association, and Fostering Silver Economy, Leading Quality Elderly & Rehabilitation Care Practices, co-organised with the HKCSS. These forums attracted a strong attendance and offered valuable insights into healthcare. Selected sessions are available for replay on the Fair’s website for extended engagement.This year’s Fair continued to adopt the EXHIBITION+ hybrid model.

GMG Announces Internal G(R) Lubricant Testing Results Showing 10% Fuel Savings and 33% Reduction in Particulate Emissions ACN Newswire

GMG Announces Internal G(R) Lubricant Testing Results Showing 10% Fuel Savings and 33% Reduction in Particulate Emissions

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 27, 2025) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the following internal GMG run engine test results when G® Lubricant was added to a Caterpillar 22 kVA diesel engine run at an 80% Load. Test results show a 10% increase in energy efficiency (kwh/litres), and also a 33% reduction in harmful diesel engine exhaust particulate matter emissions, when three doses of G® Lubricant, with a maximum graphene dosage of 0.03%, was added to the standard diesel engine oil.It is noted that the test engine was not operating optimally before G® Lubricant was added - the engine was overheating at long runs of sustained high loads. As a result, after the initial dose of G® Lubricant was added, an additional two dosages of G® Lubricant were used to hopefully bring the engine into a more stable operating regime, an outcome that was generally achieved.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/253490_gmg_image.jpgBuy Now at: www.G-Lubricant.com Figure 2 and 3 show the table and graph distribution of engine efficiency of the various dosages of G® Lubricant versus the baseline.Baseline Diesel Engine OilEngine Efficiency (kwh/litres)G® Lubricant (0.01%)Engine Efficiency (kwh/litres)G® Lubricant (0.02%)Engine Efficiency (kwh/litres)G® Lubricant (0.03%)Engine Efficiency (kwh/litres)3.043.36 (10% increase)3.35 (10% increase)3.36 (10% increase)Figure 2: Engine Efficiency Performance Increase from G® LubricantFigure 3: % Distribution of Fuel Efficiency Relative to BaselineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/253490_d626526a342c2ac9_005full.jpgFigures 4 and 5 show the table and graph distribution of diesel engine particulate matter emissions of the various dosages of G® Lubricant versus the baseline.Baseline Diesel Engine OilParticulate Matter (ppm)G® Lubricant (0.01%)Particulate Matter(ppm)G® Lubricant (0.02%)Particulate Matter (ppm)G® Lubricant (0.03%)Particulate Matter (ppm)20.9715.56 (26% reduction)14.55 (31% reduction)13.97 (33% reduction)Figure 4: Engine Emission Particulate Matter Reduction from G® LubricantFigure 5: % Distribution of Particulate Matter in Emissions Relative to BaselineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/253490_d626526a342c2ac9_006full.jpgFigure 6 shows the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine at various dosages of G® Lubricant, versus the baseline which shows similar levels as the baseline test runs.

This oil change was carried out by a professional engine maintenance service company.The engine was run at 80% load and the baseline and G® Lubricant data set used for the analytics is when the maximum ambient temperature for the day was less than 33 degrees Celsius and relative humidity was between 50% and 80% with no rain. Fuel consumption for diesel engines changes when operating in rain or very high humidity or temperatures, so the fuel consumption data baseline and G® Lubricant engine oil additive performance testing were excluded for these times.Only steady state data was used and so any variance or anomalous data seen in either baseline or G® Lubricant datasets were removed from the analytics. Data sets were grouped into minute blocks.Once the baseline fuel tests were completed, G® Lubricant with approximately 1:100 concentration was mixed at approximately 1% ratio by weight into the existing engine oil. This was done another 2 times. The end ratio of GMG's Graphene to the diesel engine oil was approximately 3:10,000 by weight.GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "G® Lubricant is not only increasing fuel efficiency it is also reducing particulate matter - which is amazing to see - we will need to do more tests to see what the long-term performance is for this."GMG is continuing to conduct more tests to determine the total performance regime of the G® Lubricant. These performance tests will be announced as the information becomes available.GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "Fantastic news - G® Lubricant testing data are exciting - well done to the team - showing great promise as a way to reduce fuel costs and emissions across the multi-trillion dollar liquid fuels industry."About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries"). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.GMG's 4 critical business objectives are:Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processesBuild Revenue from Energy Savings ProductsDevelop Next-Generation BatteryDevelop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution CapabilityFor further information please contact:Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com, +61 415 445 223Leo Karabelas at Focus Communications Investor Relations, leo@fcir.ca, +1 647 689 6041Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This news release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.

Pentadbiran Trump digesa untuk menyokong pemandu lori Iran yang mogok: ‘Berpotensi melumpuhkan rejim’

(SeaPRwire) - Pemandu lori Iran telah meluaskan pemberhentian kerja mereka untuk merangkumi lebih daripada 100 bandar dan kota di seluruh negara, sementara rejim ulama melancarkan tindakan keras yang ganas terhadap penyerang di bandar Kurdish, Sanandaj.Pakar Iran telah lama menggesa pentadbiran A.S. berturut-turut untuk memberikan bayaran mogok dan bentuk bantuan lain kepada pekerja yang resah di Iran, dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan hak asasi manusia dan menyebabkan perubahan rejim dari dalam.Pemandu lori adalah tenaga industri utama yang membantu memastikan ekonomi Iran yang semakin merosot terus bertahan.Alireza Nader, seorang pakar Washington, D.C., mengenai rejim Iran yang mengkaji pergolakan buruh Iran, memberitahu Digital, "Pentadbiran Trump harus menawarkan sokongan yang kuat kepada pemandu lori - ini akan memberi Trump lebih banyak pengaruh dalam rundingan nuklear. Dan organisasi seperti memainkan peranan penting dalam membawa mogok pemandu lori ke perhatian antarabangsa."A.S. terlibat dalam perbincangan dengan rejim Iran untuk membongkar program senjata nuklear haramnya sebagai pertukaran untuk pelepasan sekatan.Nader menambah, "Mogok pemandu lori di seluruh negara berpotensi untuk melumpuhkan rejim kerana ia menghadapi peningkatan kerentanan. Mogok pemandu lori boleh menjadi lebih berkesan jika sektor lain ekonomi Iran melancarkan mogok, terutamanya sektor tenaga dan sektor pengangkutan lain."Ramai penentang rejim ulama mahu kerajaan A.S. mengambil iktibar daripada tindakan bekas Presiden Ronald Reagan terhadap Poland komunis yang kini tidak berfungsi melalui sokongan terancang untuk pekerja dan kesatuan mereka.Pentadbiran A.S. bekerjasama sebelum ini dengan pergerakan buruh Amerika yang bebas untuk menyuntik demokrasi ke dalam kesatuan sekerja di negara-negara komunis yang sebahagian besarnya tertutup.Isu-isu ekonomi teras yang menghidupkan pemberhentian kerja, yang bermula pada 18 Mei di bandar pelabuhan selatan Bandar Abbas, melibatkan keadaan kerja dan pengurangan kos insurans. Menurut , lonjakan insurans bertepatan dengan penjagaan perubatan yang dikecilkan.Kesatuan Pemandu Lori dan Kenderaan Berat Iran juga menuntut remedi untuk kekurangan bantuan di tepi jalan untuk rasuah dalam peruntukan kargo.Pemandu lori juga berusaha untuk membaiki alat ganti yang mahal, yuran pembrokeran pengangkutan dan kuota diesel. Keselamatan yang lebih besar di laluan lebuh raya Iran yang panjang juga dituntut."Seorang pemandu yang membantah untuk rezeki dan maruahnya bukanlah seorang perusuh," kata kesatuan pemandu lori, sambil menambah, "Protes bukanlah jenayah, tetapi hak undang-undang kami," lapor IranWire.Lisa Daftari, seorang pakar Iran dan ketua pengarang Foreign Desk, memberitahu Digital, "Mogok pemandu lori di seluruh negara yang terbaharu bukanlah insiden terpencil - ia hanyalah manifestasi terbaharu kekecewaan mendalam di kalangan rakyat Iran yang dinafikan maruah dan hak yang sewajarnya dalam setiap industri. Sejak 46 tahun yang lalu, kita telah menyaksikan di seluruh pelbagai sektor dan komuniti, setiap pemberontakan menunjuk kepada satu kebenaran yang menyeluruh: rakyat Iran bukan sahaja menghantar mesej kepada kerajaan mereka, tetapi kepada seluruh dunia, menggesa sokongan dalam usaha mereka untuk kebebasan dan hak asasi."Beliau menambah, "Ini adalah tuntutan asas, tetapi seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh sejarah, ia tidak mudah dicapai di bawah kerajaan yang telah membuktikan dirinya tidak mampu melakukan pembaharuan atau menyampaikan kehidupan yang layak diterima oleh rakyat Iran."Pada 2019, American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) menggesa Tehran untuk membebaskan aktivis hak pekerja yang ditahan. Pada 2018, , yang mewakili kebanyakan pemandu lori di A.S., mengeluarkan sokongan solidariti untuk pemandu lori yang melancarkan mogok di lebih daripada 290 bandar Iran.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
