Netanyahu Israel menyeru ‘balas dendam’ selepas Hamas memulangkan mayat yang salah

(SeaPRwire) - Perdana Menteri Israel telah bersumpah untuk "membalas dendam" terhadap Hamas selepas didapati bahawa mayat di dalam keranda yang tertera nama dan gambar Shiri Bibas adalah seorang wanita yang tidak dikenali, dan bukan ibu kepada dua anak yang diculik itu.Pada hari Khamis, Hamas sepatutnya menyerahkan mayat Shiri, Ariel dan Kfir Bibas serta Oded Lifshitz. Walau bagaimanapun, semasa proses pengecaman, didapati bahawa mayat di dalam keranda Shiri bukan dirinya."Raksasa Hamas ini juga secara sinis enggan membawa pulang ibu kepada budak-budak itu, Shiri, dan menghantar mayat seorang wanita Gaza sebagai ganti, yang merupakan pelanggaran terang-terangan terhadap perjanjian itu," kata Netanyahu dalam satu kenyataan pada hari Jumaat."Dan sebagai perdana menteri Israel, saya berjanji bahawa saya tidak akan berehat sehingga orang gasar yang membunuh tebusan kita dibawa ke muka pengadilan. Mereka tidak layak untuk berjalan di bumi ini. Tiada apa yang akan menghalang saya. Tiada apa," tambahnya.Jurucakap IDF, Laksamana Muda Daniel Hagari, yang memetik penemuan forensik dan risikan, mengesahkan pada hari Jumaat bahawa Ariel dan Kfir Bibas "dibunuh oleh pengganas dengan berdarah dingin. tidak menembak dua budak lelaki itu, mereka membunuh mereka dengan tangan mereka sendiri. Selepas itu, mereka melakukan perbuatan mengerikan untuk menutup kekejaman ini."Hagari berkata penyerahan "mayat seorang wanita tanpa nama" oleh Hamas dan bukannya Shiri Bibas adalah "bukti lanjut kekejaman barbar Hamas."Ofri Bibas Levy, adik kepada Yarden Bibas, bagaimanapun, menyuarakan nada yang berbeza dalam satu kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh Hostages and Missing Families Forum."Perdana Menteri Benjamin Netanyahu, kami tidak menerima permohonan maaf daripada anda pada saat yang menyakitkan ini. Demi Ariel dan Kfir, dan demi Yarden, kami tidak membalas dendam sekarang. Kami meminta Shiri," kata Levy dalam kenyataan itu.Pendedahan bahawa mayat Shiri tidak dikembalikan bersama anak-anaknya mencetuskan kemarahan yang meluas. Pemimpin dunia dan selebriti, termasuk Dr. Phil dan Patricia Heaton, mengutuk tindakan Hamas dan melahirkan rasa jijik mereka terhadap kumpulan pengganas itu.Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-Ny, yang lantang mengenai sokongannya terhadap Israel, mengecam mereka yang mengkritik tindak balas negara Yahudi itu terhadap serangan Hamas."Mereka yang menegaskan bahawa Israel berhenti mempertahankan diri dalam menghadapi keganasan genosid meminta satu-satunya Negara Yahudi di dunia untuk menandatangani pakatan bunuh diri yang tidak akan ditandatangani oleh mana-mana negara bangsa lain, termasuk negara kita sendiri," tulis Torres di X.U.S. Envoy for Hostages Adam Boehler menyifatkan "mengerikan" dan "pelanggaran jelas" perjanjian gencatan senjata semasa bercakap dengan Anderson Cooper dari CNN pada hari Khamis. Boehler memberi amaran bahawa jika Hamas tidak membebaskan semua tebusan yang tinggal, ia akan "menghadapi kemusnahan total."Netanyahu juga menyampaikan mesej kepada rakyat Israel yang terkorban yang mayat mereka dikembalikan oleh Hamas pada hari Khamis."Ariel, Kfir dan Oded: Saya sangat menyesal kami tidak dapat menyelamatkan kamu daripada raksasa yang melakukan ini. Kami menghormati jiwa kamu yang baik dan penyayang, yang dipotong secara tragis oleh keganasan jahat," kata perdana menteri.Israel sedang bersiap sedia untuk menerima enam tebusan yang masih hidup pada hari Sabtu, dua daripada mereka telah dijadikan tebusan di Gaza selama lebih daripada sedekad.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Penemuan Laut Dalam Mengejutkan Dibuat di Kawasan yang Bible Katakan Musa Membelah Laut Merah Berita

` tags. Penemuan Laut Dalam Mengejutkan Dibuat di Kawasan yang Bible Katakan Musa Membelah Laut Merah

(SeaPRwire) - Para saintis yang telah meneroka Laut Merah telah menemui perangkap maut semula jadi di rantau yang kini dipercayai sebagai lokasi di mana Nabi Musa membelah air.Kolam air garam itu ditemui 4,000 kaki di bawah permukaan Teluk Aqaba, di mana air dianggarkan sehingga 10 kali lebih masin daripada air laut biasa dan kekurangan oksigen menyebabkan kolam tersebut membunuh atau mengejutkan semua hidupan marin yang memasukinya, menurut satu.Kajian itu juga mendakwa pemangsa yang lebih besar mengintai berhampiran tepi kolam untuk merebut mangsa yang tidak berdaya selepas mereka menyerah kepada kesan tersebut.Pasukan penyelidik yang diketuai oleh Sam Purkis, seorang profesor dan pengerusi Jabatan Geosains Marin di the University of Miami, menggunakan kapal selam kendalian jauh dan prob laut dalam untuk meneroka kawasan parit laut dalam yang terletak di antara Afrika dan Semenanjung Arab.Pasukan itu membuat spekulasi bahawa persekitaran yang disebabkan oleh keadaan ini juga meniru keadaan keras Bumi purba dan percaya ini terutamanya benar untuk lokasi ini di mana mereka membuat spekulasi kehidupan mungkin pertama kali muncul."Pemahaman semasa kita adalah bahawa kehidupan berasal di Bumi di laut dalam, hampir pasti dalam keadaan anoksik—tanpa oksigen," kata Purkis.Kajian itu juga mencadangkan bahawa "kolam maut" ini mungkin boleh memberikan petunjuk yang membantu dalam pencarian organisma luar bumi.Ekosistem unik ini adalah salah satu persekitaran yang paling ekstrem di planet ini, kata kajian itu, dan bahawa ia mungkin menyerupai keadaan yang terdapat di "dunia air" yang jauh di luar sistem suria kita.Oleh kerana sangat sedikit di dalam kolam air garam, lapisan sedimen kekal tidak terganggu dan telah memelihara arkib perubahan iklim dan peristiwa geologi masa lalu."Biasanya, haiwan ini mengganggu atau mengacau dasar laut, mengganggu sedimen yang terkumpul di sana," menurut Purkis. "Tidak begitu dengan kolam air garam. Di sini, mana-mana lapisan sedimen yang mendap ke dasar kolam air garam kekal utuh."Beliau dan pasukannya berharap keadaan yang bersih akan membolehkan mereka mengkaji keadaan lautan purba dengan lebih baik dan membantu mereka dalam membina semula corak iklim dan menjejaki evolusi ekosistem Bumi selama berjuta-juta tahun.Pakar oseanografi telah menemui formasi yang serupa di Laut Mediterranean, the Gulf of Mexico, dan tetapi tiada pada kedalaman ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Mayat Shiri Bibas, ibu muda yang dijadikan tebusan dan dibunuh oleh Hamas, tidak dikembalikan seperti yang dijanjikan, kata Israel Berita

Mayat Shiri Bibas, ibu muda yang dijadikan tebusan dan dibunuh oleh Hamas, tidak dikembalikan seperti yang dijanjikan, kata Israel

(SeaPRwire) - Ibu kepada dua anak lelaki yang dibunuh oleh pengganas Hamas semasa dalam tahanan tidak termasuk dalam mayat yang dikembalikan ke Israel pada Khamis, kata Pasukan Pertahanan Israel (IDF).Sebelum pengembalian mayat empat tebusan yang dibunuh, Hamas berkata mayat tersebut termasuk Shiri Bibas dan dua anak kecilnya, Ariel dan Kfir, masing-masing berumur 4 tahun dan 10 bulan, serta Oded Lifshitz, seorang wartawan dan aktivis yang telah bersara. Walau bagaimanapun, Israel National hanya dapat menentukan identiti dua daripada mayat tersebut, iaitu anak-anak lelaki itu."Semasa proses pengecaman, didapati bahawa mayat tambahan yang diterima bukan Shiri Bibas, dan tiada padanan ditemui untuk mana-mana tebusan lain," kata IDF. "Ini adalah mayat tanpa nama yang tidak dikenal pasti.""Menurut penilaian pegawai profesional, berdasarkan perisikan yang tersedia kepada kami dan penemuan forensik daripada proses pengecaman, telah dibunuh secara brutal oleh pengganas dalam tahanan pada November 2023," kata pihak berkuasa.Keluarga itu menjadi simbol penderitaan yang telah mencengkam Israel sejak perang di Gaza bermula."Kami menyampaikan ucapan takziah yang tulus ikhlas kepada keluarga Bibas pada masa yang sangat sukar ini dan tetap komited untuk melakukan segala yang mungkin untuk memastikan Shiri dan semua tebusan dibawa pulang secepat mungkin," kata IDF.Ia menyifatkan kematian itu sebagai "pelanggaran yang amat berat" oleh Hamas, sambil turut menuntut kumpulan pengganas itu mengembalikan mayat Shiri Bibas dan semua tebusan lain yang ditahan.Danny Danon, duta Israel ke Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, berkata Hamas terus "melanggar setiap nilai moral asas," walaupun selepas kematian kanak-kanak lelaki itu."Daripada memulangkan Shiri, ibu kepada Kfir dan Ariel, Hamas memulangkan mayat yang tidak dikenal pasti, seolah-olah ia adalah penghantaran yang tidak berharga," tulisnya di X. "Ini adalah titik terendah baharu, kejahatan dan kekejaman yang tiada bandingannya."Beliau selanjutnya berkata bahawa Setiausaha Agung Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu António Guterres, Majlis Keselamatan UN dan Perhimpunan Agung terus berdiam diri dalam menghadapi "kezaliman" Hamas dan menuntut Hamas mengembalikan mayat Shiri Bibas."Sejarah akan mengingati dengan baik siapa yang berdiri dan berdiam diri sementara Hamas memijak prinsip kemanusiaan yang paling asas," tulis Danon.Kanak-kanak lelaki dan ibu mereka diculik di rumah mereka oleh pengganas Hamas semasa serangan maut kumpulan pengganas itu. Yarden Bibas, bapa Ariel dan Kfir, cuba melindungi mereka dan diculik sebelum penculikan isteri dan anak-anaknya, kata IDF.Yarden kembali sebagai sebahagian daripada perjanjian untuk pemulangan tebusan pada 1 Feb.Pembebasan Khamis adalah yang pertama melibatkan pemindahan tebusan yang dibunuh sejak berkuat kuasa bulan lepas.Kira-kira 70 tebusan kekal dalam tahanan Hamas. Hampir semua tebusan yang tinggal, termasuk askar Israel, adalah lelaki dan kira-kira separuh dipercayai telah meninggal dunia.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Serangan teror menggegarkan Israel; tiga buah bas dilaporkan meletup Berita

Serangan teror menggegarkan Israel; tiga buah bas dilaporkan meletup

(SeaPRwire) - Tiga buah bas di tempat letak kereta meletup di Israel pada Khamis malam dalam apa yang kelihatan seperti serangan pengganas. Tiada sesiapa yang cedera. Beberapa bom lain dilaporkan ditemui di bas-bas lain, menurut TPS-IL, sebuah agensi berita Israel.Pegawai Israel telah mengarahkan semua perkhidmatan bas dan kereta api dihentikan sementara semua kenderaan diperiksa untuk bom berikutan tiga letupan bas itu. Tiga buah bas awam meletup pada Khamis malam sekitar jam 8:30 malam ketika ia berada di depot bas di Bat Yam, sebuah bandar yang terletak di selatan Tel Aviv.Anggota bomba tiba di tempat kejadian dan memadamkan kebakaran. Bas-bas itu kosong pada masa itu dan tiada sesiapa yang tercedera.Dua lagi ditemui di bawah bas lain selepas polis dan Shin Bet, perkhidmatan keselamatan dalaman Israel, meminta pemandu menghentikan bas dan memeriksa peranti.Siasatan awal polis mendapati bahawa semua alat letupan adalah serupa dan dilengkapi dengan pemasa yang ditetapkan untuk meletup pada hari Jumaat, kata pihak berkuasa. Letupan itu berlaku hanya beberapa jam selepas Hamas membebaskan mayat empat yang ditahan di Gaza. Tebusan itu adalah lapan yang pertama yang Israel percaya sudah mati dan akan dikembalikan semasa fasa gencatan senjata semasa."Kita perlu menentukan sama ada seorang suspek meletakkan bahan letupan di beberapa bas, atau jika terdapat beberapa suspek," kata jurucakap Polis Haim Sargrof.Bas-bas itu telah selesai laluannya dan berada di tempat letak kereta, kata Tzvika Brot, datuk bandar Bat Yam. Dia berkata salah satu bom yang tidak meletup sedang dinyahaktifkan di bandar berdekatan Holon.Berikutan penilaian keselamatan dengan pegawai Israel, Perdana Menteri Israel mengarahkan "operasi intensif" terhadap "pusat keganasan" di Tebing Barat dan agar pihak berkuasa "meningkatkan aktiviti pencegahan" terhadap kemungkinan serangan di bandar-bandar Israel.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) berkata ia bekerjasama dengan Polis Israel dan Shin Bet dalam siasatan itu."Berikutan penilaian keadaan, aktiviti anti-keganasan yang dipergiatkan IDF di Judea dan Samaria diteruskan dan akan difokuskan mengikut penemuan perisikan," IDF menyiarkan di X, menggunakan nama alkitabiah untuk Tebing Barat. "Pada masa yang sama, IDF telah menyekat kemasukan ke Judea dan Samaria di kawasan tertentu sewajarnya."Pada Khamis malam, IDF menjalankan serangan udara di sempadan Lubnan-Syria, dengan jet pejuang menyasarkan lintasan sempadan yang digunakan oleh Hezbollah untuk menyeludup senjata."Percubaan ini merupakan pelanggaran terang-terangan terhadap persefahaman gencatan senjata antara Israel dan Lubnan," kata IDF.Pasukan Israel dilaporkan menyasarkan sebuah trak yang membawa senjata di lintasan al-Wawiyat di Wadi Khaled, Lubnan.Israel juga telah melakukan pelbagai serangan ketenteraan terhadap militan Palestin di Tebing Barat berikutan gencatan senjata 19 Januari.Berikutan pengeboman bas, Menteri Pertahanan Israel Katz mengarahkan The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) untuk di Tebing Barat."Memandangkan percubaan serangan pengganas yang teruk [di kawasan Tel Aviv] oleh organisasi pengganas Palestin terhadap penduduk awam di Israel, saya mengarahkan IDF untuk meningkatkan keamatan aktiviti memerangi keganasan di kem pelarian Tulkarem, dan semua kem pelarian di Judea dan Samaria," katanya."Kami akan memburu pengganas hingga akhir dan memusnahkan infrastruktur keganasan di kem yang digunakan sebagai pos barisan hadapan paksi jahat Iran," tambahnya.Ahli politik Israel, Benny Gantz berkata insiden Khamis "harus dianggap seperti serangan mega.""Kita tidak boleh melihat hasilnya - tetapi pada niatnya. Kita tidak boleh mengulangi kesilapan serangan yang dicegah di Megiddo," tulisnya di X. "Kepada percubaan membunuh berpuluh-puluh rakyat Israel pada hari yang sukar ini - kita mesti bertindak balas bukan sahaja dengan tindakan taktikal - tetapi dengan terus memintas penghantar dan pembiaya penghantar, dan menggunakan alat yang berkuasa terhadap sarang pengganas itu sendiri. Kita mesti mengenakan harga yang berat supaya organisasi pengganas tidak akan lupa."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Bimbang Trump akan menyeberang sempadan secara ketenteraan untuk memburu kartel, Mexico bergerak untuk mereformasi perlembagaan

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, berkata pada Khamis bahawa beliau akan mencadangkan pembaharuan perlembagaan yang bertujuan melindungi kedaulatan negara itu berikutan kebimbangan tentera A.S. boleh melintasi sempadan untuk mengejar Sheinbaum membuat kenyataan itu selepas pentadbiran Trump melabelkan enam kartel dadah Mexico sebagai organisasi pengganas asing, yang menimbulkan kebimbangan bahawa Presiden Donald Trump mungkin sedang menyediakan kemungkinan tindakan ketenteraan A.S. di dalam Mexico."Rakyat Mexico tidak akan menerima dalam apa jua keadaan campur tangan, gangguan atau sebarang tindakan lain dari luar negara yang boleh memudaratkan integriti, kemerdekaan dan kedaulatan negara," kata Sheinbaum.Kartel Mexico yang disenaraikan termasuk Sinaloa, Jalisco, Zetas, the Gulf Cartels, Cartel Unidos dan "La Nueva Familia Michoacana." Kumpulan lain termasuk geng antarabangsa Venezuela Tren de Aragua dan geng Salvador Mara Salvatrucha – juga dikenali sebagai MS-13.Mexico, yang sekian lama menolak tindakan A.S. untuk melabelkan kartel sebagai organisasi pengganas asing, tidak dirujuk mengenai keputusan itu, kata Sheinbaum.Bekas Presiden Andrés Manuel López Obrador, telah pun menulis dalam undang-undang Mexico had tentang bagaimana ejen asing boleh beroperasi di Mexico, mengehadkan kebebasan mereka dan memerlukan pihak berkuasa Mexico dimaklumkan tentang pergerakan mereka. Sheinbaum mencadangkan untuk mengabadikan had tersebut dalam perlembagaan."Apa yang ingin kami jelaskan dalam menghadapi penetapan ini ialah kami tidak berunding tentang kedaulatan," kata Sheinbaum. "Ini tidak boleh menjadi peluang untuk Amerika Syarikat menceroboh kedaulatan kita."Sheinbaum juga mencadangkan pembaharuan kedua kepada perlembagaan untuk mewujudkan hukuman yang lebih berat untuk dan warga asing yang terlibat dalam penyeludupan senjata api.Mexico sudah lama menuntut agar A.S. melakukan lebih banyak usaha untuk menghalang senjata api daripada diseludup ke Mexico dari A.S.The Associated Press dan Reuters menyumbang kepada laporan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Kampung di Filipina Tawar Wang Tunai untuk Nyamuk di Tengah Wabak Denggi Berita

Kampung di Filipina Tawar Wang Tunai untuk Nyamuk di Tengah Wabak Denggi

(SeaPRwire) - Sebuah kampung di wilayah ibu negara Filipina yang padat penduduknya melancarkan perang terhadap denggi pada hari Rabu dengan menawarkan ganjaran token kepada penduduk untuk nyamuk yang ditangkap — mati atau hidup.Strategi luar biasa yang diterima pakai oleh kampung Addition Hills di Mandaluyong City mencerminkan kebimbangan yang semakin meningkat selepas bandar berdekatan Quezon mengisytiharkan wabak penyakit bawaan nyamuk itu pada hujung minggu. Lapan lagi kawasan melaporkan peningkatan kes penyakit yang berpotensi .Sekurang-kurangnya 28,234 kes denggi telah direkodkan di Filipina tahun ini sehingga 1 Feb, peningkatan 40% berbanding tempoh yang sama tahun lepas, menurut statistik jabatan kesihatan. Quezon City mengisytiharkan wabak denggi pada hari Sabtu selepas kematian tahun ini mencapai 10 orang, kebanyakannya kanak-kanak, daripada 1,769 penduduk yang dijangkiti.Sebagai sebuah kampung bandar yang mempunyai lebih daripada 100,000 penduduk yang tinggal di kawasan kejiranan yang sesak dan menara kondominium kediaman, Addition Hills telah melakukan pembersihan, penyahsumbatan terusan dan kempen kebersihan untuk memerangi denggi. Tetapi apabila kes meningkat kepada 42 tahun ini dan dua pelajar muda meninggal dunia, ketua kampung Carlito Cernal memutuskan untuk meningkatkan pertempuran."Terdapat penggera," kata Cernal kepada The Associated Press. "Saya mencari jalan."Penduduk akan mendapat ganjaran satu peso Filipina (lebih sedikit daripada 1 sen) untuk setiap lima nyamuk atau larva nyamuk yang mereka serahkan, kata Cernal.Pengkritik memberi amaran bahawa strategi itu boleh menjadi bumerang jika orang yang terdesak mula membiak nyamuk untuk mendapatkan ganjaran. Cernal berkata itu tidak mungkin kerana kempen itu akan ditamatkan sebaik sahaja peningkatan kes berkurangan.Ketika kempen bermula, kira-kira sedozen muncul di pejabat kampung. Miguel Labag, seorang pengutip sampah berusia 64 tahun, menyerahkan jag dengan 45 larva nyamuk gelap yang menggeliat di dalam air dan menerima ganjaran sembilan peso (15 sen)."Ini sangat membantu," kata Labag, sambil tersenyum. "Saya boleh membeli kopi."Denggi adalah yang terdapat di negara-negara tropika di seluruh dunia. Ia boleh menyebabkan sakit sendi, loya, muntah dan ruam, dan dalam kes yang teruk boleh menyebabkan masalah pernafasan, pendarahan dan kegagalan organ. Walaupun tiada rawatan khusus untuk penyakit itu, rawatan perubatan untuk mengekalkan tahap cecair seseorang dianggap kritikal.Pegawai di sebuah kampung lain di Quezon City sedang mempertimbangkan untuk melepaskan banyak katak untuk memakan nyamuk.Menteri Kesihatan Teodoro Herbosa berkata adalah penting untuk membersihkan tapak pembiakan nyamuk, dan bagi sesiapa sahaja yang mungkin dijangkiti untuk mendapatkan rawatan perubatan segera. Walaupun terdapat peningkatan dalam jangkitan denggi, Filipina telah berjaya mengekalkan kadar kematian yang rendah, katanya.Kes denggi meningkat secara tidak dijangka menjelang musim hujan, yang bermula pada bulan Jun, mungkin disebabkan oleh hujan renyai-renyai yang telah meninggalkan takungan air bertakung di mana nyamuk penyebab denggi boleh membiak, kata Timbalan Menteri Kesihatan Alberto Domingo, sambil menambah bahawa perubahan iklim mungkin menyumbang kepada hujan renyai-renyai luar musim.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Carl Zeiss Honors EuroEyes International for Exceptional Milestone in AT LISA(R) Trifocal Lens Implantations ACN Newswire

Carl Zeiss Honors EuroEyes International for Exceptional Milestone in AT LISA(R) Trifocal Lens Implantations

HONG KONG, Feb 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (“Carl Zeiss”) is proud to honor EuroEyes International Eye Clinic Limited (“EuroEyes International” or the “Company”) for achieving the prestigious title of the most AT LISA® trifocal lens Implantations worldwide for nine consecutive years. This recognition underscores EuroEyes International's significant contributions to the field of ophthalmology and highlights its leadership in innovative eye care solutions.At a ceremony held in Hong Kong today, Carl Zeiss acknowledged EuroEyes International's remarkable milestone of successfully completed more than a million procedures in the past 32 years, the most of its kind in the world. The milestone achievement not only stands as proof of EuroEyes International's commitment to excellence in innovative and patient-centered eye care, but also highlights its crucial role in advancing vision correction through implantation of trifocal lenses and setting new standards in ophthalmic practices.“We are proud to receive this recognition, which speaks clearly to our determination to achieve excellence in ophthalmology. Our dedicated team has worked diligently to help patients restore their vision with state-on-the-art technologies and in turn enhance their quality of life,” said Dr. Jørn S. Jørgensen, CEO of EuroEyes International.“Congratulations to EuroEyes International for making such an extraordinary achievement nine years in a row, which is an inspiration for all of us in the field worldwide to push for advancements in eye care technology and practices. Together with EuroEyes International, we look forward to reaching new heights and making yet greater success in the near future,” said Mr. Magnus Reibenspiess, Head of Strategic Business Unit Ophthalmology, President ZEISS Ophthalmology.Dr. Jørn S. Jørgensen added, “We have seen a rising trend of presbyopia in mainland China, Hong Kong, and globally. The company believes its trifocal lens implantation is currently one of the best solutions for correcting this condition in patients and effectively addressing relevant growing market demand.”According to its 2024 interim results, EuroEyes International recorded record high revenue of HK$198.8 million, up 12.0% year-on-year, from performing mostly trifocal lens implantation surgeries in the Period, and revenue from this category had been growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 21% between 2020 and 2024, driven by the aging population in various countries where the Group operates.Trifocal Lens implantation: An Opportunity-Rich Market to SeizeThe “2023 National Aging Development Bulletin” released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Aging Office in China, reveals that as of 2023, China's elderly population aged 60 and above has surged to 296.97 million, accounting for 21.1% of the total populace — an increase from 14.9% in 2013. Similarly, Hong Kong boasts the highest life expectancy in the world, pointing to a rapidly aging population in the city. According to the 2021 Population Census conducted by the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD), the proportion of elderly individuals aged 65 and above had increased from 13% of the total population in 2011 to 20% in 2021, and was projected to reach 22.8% by mid-2024. Additionally, the median age of the population had increased from 41.7 in 2011 to 46.3 in 2021, also reflective of the continuing aging trend.Alongside the aging global population is the climbing cases of presbyopia, a natural aging process that affects nearly every individual over 40, and correspondingly the demand for effective correction solutions. As trifocal lens, an artificial lens designed to provide sharp vision at all distances while retaining its refractive properties over time, can ensure consistent vision as patients age, trifocal lens implantation surgery has emerged as one of the best solutions for managing presbyopia and other vision-related issues.EuroEyes International, renowned for its market leadership in trifocal lens implantation surgery, is well-positioned to capture this global trend, and so is Carl Zeiss, a leading optical company committed to manufacturing trifocal lenses in growing demand. The company believes the trifocal lens implantation market has vast potential waiting to be tapped, set to power the company’s future growth.

NEC Develops Near Real-time RIC for High Performance 5G vRAN JCN Newswire

NEC Develops Near Real-time RIC for High Performance 5G vRAN

TOKYO, Feb 21, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has developed a Near Real-time RAN Intelligent Controller (Near-RT RIC) platform and RIC applications that enable flexible and intelligent network control that is compliant with the O-RAN Alliance (*1) specifications for virtualized Radio Access Networks (vRAN).In recent years, as the spread of cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI has progressed rapidly, there are high expectations for the provision of new user experiences that utilize these technologies. As the infrastructure that supports these experiences, 5G networks require high scalability and flexibility to effectively support new services, as well as mechanisms to efficiently operate existing services.In order to provide an advanced 5G network that meets these requirements, NEC has developed a Near-RT RIC platform that enables flexible and intelligent network control in accordance with O-RAN Alliance specifications for vRAN and runs on general-purpose hardware. This makes it possible to dynamically customize RAN (base station) settings according to service requirements and network conditions. Furthermore, as RIC applications that run on this platform, NEC has implemented functions for load balancing between cells, guaranteeing the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for slices, and achieving high reliability with acceptable latency (*2).Features of NEC's Near-RT RIC:The Near-RT RIC developed by NEC can flexibly support functional enhancements such as quality improvement, SLA guarantees, and power saving by dynamically customizing RAN operations in response to diversifying service requirements by adding RIC applications, including the following:RIC Application Examples:1. Load balancing between cellsThe application can quickly resolve load imbalances between adjacent cells, and in environments where network load fluctuates depending on time of day and location, it can improve the throughput of terminals connected to cells with high load.2. SLA guarantee for slicesBy dynamically optimizing the radio resources for each slice, it is possible to provide quality of service (QoS) in accordance with the SLA to the terminals connected to the slice, even in a congested network environment.3. High reliability with acceptable latencyBy using AI to analyze acceptable latency and fluctuations in radio quality, and dynamically optimizing radio control for each terminal, it is possible to increase the satisfaction rate of acceptable latency in environments where there is a high demand for reliability in the arrival of data within an acceptable latency.Moreover, since RIC control is separated from conventional RAN functions and operates on a virtualized platform via an interface that complies with O-RAN Alliance specifications, it is possible to quickly incorporate hardware and software innovations related to AI.By utilizing these mechanisms to automate and make RAN operations more autonomous, it is possible to continuously improve the value of vRAN while keeping Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) down.NEC has also demonstrated the effectiveness of its high-reliability function for achieving acceptable latency in an indoor test environment using 5G vRAN.Overview and Results of the Technical Verification:Using 5G vRAN, NEC built a network for remotely controlling mobile robots (*3) in an indoor environment and conducted a demonstration experiment of an RIC application that achieves high reliability in terms of acceptable latency. By dynamically optimizing radio control for each mobile robot terminal, NEC demonstrated that the frequency of packets exceeding the acceptable latency could be reduced to less than 1/6 of the frequency when RIC was not used.Future Developments:NEC will continue to contribute to improving service quality in the mobile network market, from corporate digital transformation (DX) to general users, by expanding Near-RT RIC applications that improve network quality, save power, and improve operational autonomy using AI, in order to achieve the advancement of vRAN with an eye on Beyond 5G/6G.*Part of the results of this news release is based on results obtained from the "Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems" (JPNP20017), commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).(1) O-RAN AllianceAn international industry organization that promotes standardization with the aim of realizing open and scalable next-generation radio access networks, including 5G.(2) Acceptable latencyThe communication latency that users and/or applications can tolerate.(3) Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR)About NEC CorporationNEC Corporation has established itself as a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies while promoting the brand statement of “Orchestrating a brighter world.” NEC enables businesses and communities to adapt to rapid changes taking place in both society and the market as it provides for the social values of safety, security, fairness and efficiency to promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.
