Projek nuklear AS ‘bertahun-tahun’ lewat jadual – WSJ

Projek nuklear AS ‘bertahun-tahun’ lewat jadual – WSJ

(SeaPRwire) - Pembaikan silo untuk peluru berpandu Sentinel menimbulkan masalah kepada Pentagon Pembaikpulihan silo peluru berpandu yang berusia puluhan tahun itu akan menelan belanja berbilion dolar lebih daripada yang dianggarkan pada awalnya dan mungkin tidak bermula selama lima tahun, lapor Wall Street Journal, memetik pegawai Pentagon. Jabatan Pertahanan AS memutuskan bulan lalu untuk meneruskan dengan program peluru berpandu balistik antara benua (ICBM) Sentinel, walaupun kosnya dianggarkan telah meningkat hampir dua kali ganda daripada anggaran asal $78 bilion. Menggantikan peluru berpandu Minuteman III yang sudah tua tidak mempunyai alternatif, kata Pentagon. Mungkin “lima tahun atau lebih sebelum kerja dimulakan” untuk memodenkan kira-kira 450 silo sedia ada untuk peluru berpandu baru, lapor Wall Street Journal pada Isnin, memetik mesyuarat bandar baru-baru ini di Kimball, Nebraska. Komuniti yang kurang daripada 3,000 penduduk itu dikelilingi oleh “salah satu medan peluru berpandu terbesar” di dunia. “Terdapat banyak yang tidak diketahui di sini, dan saya faham kekecewaan itu,” kata Brigedier Jeneral Colin Connor kepada penduduk awal bulan ini. Peluru berpandu Minuteman III mula berkhidmat pada awal 1970-an dan sepatutnya digantikan selepas sedekad. Washington akhirnya memberikan lampu hijau kepada program Sentinel pada tahun 2020, memberikan kontrak awal $13.3 bilion kepada Northrop Grumman, selepas Boeing menarik diri. Pengurus projek Sentinel, Kolonel Charles Clegg, telah disingkirkan daripada projek itu atas sebab yang tidak dinyatakan. Selain peluru berpandu baru, yang masih dalam peringkat reka bentuk, projek itu merangkumi pemodenan silo dan pusat arahan berusia 50 tahun. Pembinaan melibatkan, antara lain, pemasangan beribu-ribu kilometer kabel gentian optik. Bagaimanapun, menutup silo atau kemudahan arahan adalah mustahil, kerana doktrin nuklear memerlukannya tersedia pada bila-bila masa. Sesetengah silo mungkin juga perlu dibina semula dari awal. Skala, skop dan kerumitan projek Sentinel adalah “sesuatu yang tidak pernah kita usahakan sebagai sebuah negara selama lebih 60 tahun,” kata Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Bill LaPlante kepada wartawan bulan lalu, sambil menegaskan bahawa ia perlu dilakukan. Tentera Udara AS sedang mencari cara untuk mengurangkan kerumitan projek itu, tetapi mungkin mengambil masa sehingga 18 bulan untuk membuat keputusan mengenai perubahan itu, kata LaPlante, berharap untuk membuat keputusan pada awal 2025. Penangguhan sedemikian mungkin menyebabkan masalah lain untuk Pentagon, menurut WSJ. Kerajaan AS telah pun berunding mengenai sepertiga daripada perjanjian harta tanah yang diperlukan untuk pemasangan beribu-ribu kilometer kabel gentian optik. Tetapi sesetengah daripadanya mungkin perlu diubah semula berdasarkan garis masa baru. Sementara itu, peningkatan kos pembinaan dan bahan mentah telah menjadikan anggaran kos awal “tidak boleh dipercayai dan tidak realistik,” kata pegawai Pentagon.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump Kecam Biden dan Harris Atas Penghinaan Terhadap Soldadu Yang Gugur

Trump Kecam Biden dan Harris Atas Penghinaan Terhadap Soldadu Yang Gugur

(SeaPRwire) - Bekas presiden mengkritik Rumah Putih kerana mengabaikan majlis memperingati tentera yang terkorban semasa penarikan balik AS dari Afghanistan Penarikan balik AS dari Kabul pada tahun 2021 adalah “ketidakcekapan yang teruk,” kata bekas Presiden Donald Trump pada hari Isnin selepas menghadiri upacara memperingati di Tanah Perkuburan Nasional Arlington bagi 13 tentera yang terkorban semasa kekacauan itu. Dia juga mengecam presiden AS Joe Biden dan Naib Presiden Kamala Harris kerana mengabaikan upacara bagi tentera yang terkorban. Sebelas marin, seorang askar dan seorang jurumedik Tentera Laut terkorban dalam , bersama-sama dengan 170 . Negara Islam (IS/ISIS) mengaku bertanggungjawab terhadap pengeboman pada 26 Ogos 2021, yang berlaku di tengah-tengah evakuasi yang panik dari lapangan terbang Kabul. Rejim yang disokong AS di Afghanistan telah runtuh dan Taliban telah mengambil alih sepuluh hari sebelumnya. “Ini adalah ulang tahun ketiga penarikan balik AFGHANISTAN YANG GAGAL, saat yang paling MEMALUKAN dalam sejarah Negara kita,’‘ Trump menyiarkan di akaun Truth Social miliknya. Dia menuduh Biden dan Harris dengan “ketidakcekapan yang teruk” yang mengakibatkan kematian 13 tentera dan ratusan orang awam dan menjadikan AS “bahan ketawa di seluruh Dunia.” Serangan dron sebagai tindak balas terhadap pembunuhan beramai-ramai di Pintu Gerbang Abbey telah membunuh sepuluh orang awam Afghanistan yang tidak bersalah , kebanyakan daripada mereka adalah kanak-kanak. Dalang sebenar pengeboman bunuh diri itu adalah pada April 2023. Tiada siapa dalam pentadbiran Biden mahupun tentera AS yang bertanggungjawab atas kegagalan di Afghanistan. Hanya seorang pegawai yang berani mengkritik secara terbuka operasi penarikan balik dan menuntut pertanggungjawaban - Kolonel Marin AS Stuart Scheller - telah dan dibuang daripada perkhidmatan. Semasa menghadiri upacara bagi mereka yang terkorban semasa penarikan balik dari Afghanistan, Trump meletakkan tiga karangan bunga di Makam Pahlawan Tak Dikenali, bersama-sama dengan beberapa ahli keluarga mereka yang terkorban. Biden mahupun Harris tidak hadir di Arlington. Penampilan terakhir presiden di khalayak ramai adalah di Konvensyen Nasional Demokrat di Chicago minggu lalu. Harris mengeluarkan kenyataan bertulis di laman web Rumah Putih, memuji Biden kerana “keputusan yang berani dan tepat untuk menamatkan perang terpanjang Amerika.” “Pada hari yang suci ini, marilah kita bersatu sebagai satu negara untuk menghormati mereka yang telah gugur untuk negara Amerika Syarikat dan kebebasan kita yang dihargai. Negara kita yang bersyukur meratapi dan memberi penghormatan kepada mereka,” kata kenyataan itu. “Sebagai mengenang mereka, marilah kita mendedikasikan diri kita semula kepada tujuan yang mereka korbankan nyawa mereka: untuk melindungi dan mempertahankan demokrasi yang terhebat di Bumi, Amerika Syarikat.” Biden telah dikecam kerana mengabaikan tentera yang terkorban dan keluarga mereka sebelum ini. Dia telah ditangkap semasa ketibaan jenazah tentera di pangkalan udara Delaware pada Ogos 2021.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

EU Jauhkan Diri dari Penangkapan Durov

EU Jauhkan Diri dari Penangkapan Durov

(SeaPRwire) - Pengasas aplikasi pesanan Telegram telah ditahan di Perancis atas tuduhan gagal mengawal platform tersebut. Suruhanjaya Eropah (EC) telah enggan memberi komen mengenai penahanan pengasas Telegram, Pavel Durov, di Perancis, dengan menggelarnya sebagai “kes individu” dan mencadangkan agar Paris diminta penjelasan, menurut laporan RIA Novosti pada hari Isnin. Mogul teknologi Rusia itu - yang juga merupakan warganegara Perancis, UAE, dan Saint Kitts dan Nevis - telah ditangkap di Lapangan Terbang Paris-Le Bourget pada hari Sabtu sebaik sahaja tiba dari Azerbaijan dengan jet peribadi. Menurut media Perancis, pendakwa raya di Paris merancang untuk menuduh lelaki berusia 39 tahun itu bersubahat dalam perdagangan dadah, kesalahan pedofilia, penipuan, dan kegagalan untuk menangani aktiviti jenayah di aplikasi pesanan tersebut. Pihak berkuasa Perancis berkata kenyataan rasmi akan dikeluarkan pada hari Isnin. “Suruhanjaya Eropah tidak memberi komen mengenai kes individu atau siasatan yang sedang dijalankan. Ini adalah persoalan bagi negara anggota yang berkenaan,” kata badan eksekutif EU kepada RIA selepas agensi berita itu meminta komen. Secara berasingan, jurucakap EC memberitahu Euronews pada hari Isnin bahawa penahanan Durov tidak ada kaitan dengan obligasi Telegram di bawah Akta Perkhidmatan Digital (DSA). EU telah menguatkan cengkamannya terhadap Big Tech di bawah DSA, yang mula berkuat kuasa awal tahun ini. Peraturan itu memerlukan apa yang dipanggil 'Platform Dalam Talian Sangat Besar' (yang mempunyai lebih daripada 45 juta pengguna bulanan) untuk mematuhi pelbagai peraturan berkaitan perlindungan data dan pengiklanan. “Pendakwaan jenayah bukanlah antara sekatan berpotensi untuk pelanggaran DSA,” kata jurucakap EC, sambil menambah bahawa “DSA tidak mentakrifkan apa yang tidak sah dan juga tidak menetapkan sebarang kesalahan jenayah dan oleh itu tidak boleh digunakan untuk tangkapan. Hanya undang-undang negara [atau antarabangsa] yang mentakrifkan kesalahan jenayah boleh digunakan.” Beribu pejabat di Dubai, Telegram mendakwa mempunyai 41 juta pengguna bulanan di EU. Bagaimanapun, pada bulan Mei, Naib Presiden EC untuk Nilai dan Ketelusan Vera Jourova memberitahu Bloomberg bahawa platform itu adalah “kes khas,” dan akan disiasat dan mungkin dimasukkan dalam senarai itu juga. Jourova menuduh Telegram membolehkan penyebaran “maklumat palsu” Rusia, dan menggelarnya sebagai “isu” bahawa platform itu “terutama aktif di negara anggota timur di mana kita mempunyai minoriti berbahasa Rusia.” Menurut Durov, Telegram menghormati hak pengguna untuk privasi dan kebebasan bersuara. Dalam temu bual dengan wartawan Amerika Tucker Carlson awal tahun ini, Durov berkata beliau telah menolak permintaan daripada Washington untuk berkongsi data pengguna dengan pihak berkuasa AS atau untuk membina apa yang dipanggil “pintu belakang” pengawasan ke dalam platform tersebut. Penahanan Durov telah mencetuskan reaksi yang kuat, dengan mogul teknologi AS Elon Musk bagi pembebasan pengasas Telegram dan mendakwa bahawa kebebasan bersuara di Eropah sedang diserang. Perancis telah melanggar semua batas dengan menangkap Durov, kata Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif platform perkongsian video Rumble, Chris Pavlovski , sambil menambah bahawa beliau telah meninggalkan Eropah selepas berita itu tersebar.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Macron komen mengenai penangkapan Durov

Macron komen mengenai penangkapan Durov

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Perancis telah mendakwa bahawa penahanan pengasas Telegram itu disebabkan oleh siasatan kehakiman yang sedang berjalan dan bukannya politik. Presiden Perancis, Emmanuel Macron, telah menafikan sebarang motif politik bagi penahanan pengasas dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Telegram, Pavel Durov, di Paris pada Sabtu. Menulis di X pada hari Isnin, Macron menegaskan bahawa penahanan Durov “bukanlah keputusan politik” dan berlaku sebagai sebahagian daripada “siasatan kehakiman yang sedang berjalan” di mana hakim akan memutuskan nasib usahawan itu. “Perancis lebih daripada apa-apa yang melekat pada kebebasan bersuara dan komunikasi, kepada inovasi dan kepada semangat perusahaan,” tulis Macron, sambil menambah bahawa “dalam sebuah negara yang diperintah oleh kedaulatan undang-undang, di media sosial seperti dalam kehidupan sebenar, kebebasan dijalankan dalam kerangka yang ditetapkan oleh undang-undang untuk melindungi rakyat dan menghormati hak asasi mereka.” “Terpulang kepada sistem keadilan, secara bebas sepenuhnya, untuk memastikan undang-undang dihormati,” kata presiden. Warga Rusia berusia 39 tahun itu, yang juga memegang kewarganegaraan Perancis, UAE dan Saint Kitts dan Nevis, telah ditahan oleh pihak berkuasa Perancis selepas jet pribadinya mendarat di Paris pada 24 Ogos selepas terbang dari Azerbaijan. Tuduhan tepat yang mungkin dihadapi oleh usahawan teknologi itu masih belum jelas, tetapi laporan media menunjukkan bahawa waran tangkapnya dikeluarkan oleh OFMIN Perancis – sebuah agensi yang ditugaskan untuk memerangi keganasan terhadap kanak-kanak – untuk menjalankan siasatan mengenai dakwaan penipuan, pengedaran dadah, buli siber, jenayah terancang dan promosi keganasan. Menurut media Perancis, penahanan Durov kemungkinan besar berkaitan dengan aduan yang dibuat terhadap Telegram, khususnya penolakannya untuk menyederhanakan kandungan di platform tersebut dan menghalang platform tersebut daripada digunakan oleh penjenayah. Telegram, bagi pihaknya, telah menegaskan bahawa syarikat itu mematuhi sepenuhnya undang-undang EU dan dasar penyederhanaan kandungan dan menganggapnya “tidak masuk akal” untuk mendakwa bahawa Durov bertanggungjawab terhadap penyalahgunaan platform oleh pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

New Technology for Redacting Digitally Signed Documents, Developed Jointly by Hitachi and AIST, Has Been Adopted as an ISO/IEC International Standard

New Technology for Redacting Digitally Signed Documents, Developed Jointly by Hitachi and AIST, Has Been Adopted as an ISO/IEC International Standard

TOKYO, Aug 26, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501, "Hitachi") and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (“AIST”) today announced that their jointly developed technology for redacting digitally signed documents (“redactable signature” technology) has passed final approval by the Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), gaining adoption in international standard ISO/IEC 23264-2. The two newly standardized schemes provide means for ensuring the authenticity (absence of falsification) of digitally signed documents when they are made public in partially redacted form.The redactable signature schemes use digital technology to realize partial disclosure of documents while enabling detection of unauthorized alteration or falsification. The two newly standardized schemes provide an efficient means for partial disclosure of public documents, while enabling the authenticity of data related to product development, in fields such as pharmaceuticals and finance, to be guaranteed, without loss of data use convenience, even when adocument has undergone sanitization (anonymization) for privacy protection reasons. They are thus expected to contribute toward a safe data-utilization society.Background to the StandardizationNow that digital technology has come into wide use, proceedings that used to involve printed documents are being replaced by digital processes, giving all the more importance to digitalsignature technology able to detect data alterations or falsification and guarantee data authenticity. As a current way ofofficial document management, it is sometimes necessary to redact (erase or blank out) certain information for privacy or other reasons before publication or disclosure. With conventional digital signing technology, however, the act ofredaction itself is regarded as falsification, invalidating the digital signature and making it difficult to guarantee the authenticity of a redacted document.In addressing this issue, ISO/IEC JTC 1*1 drew up international standard ISO/IEC 23264, “Information security—Redaction of authentic data” relating to the application of digital signature technology, with its expanding uses. To promote this standardization, Hitachi and AIST, starting some twenty years earlier, engaged in pioneering research anddevelopment on a digital signature technology for realizing redaction of documents by digital means (redactable signature technology). As a result of this joint development, two redactable signature schemes (MHI06 and MIMSYTI05) were adopted in international standard ISO/IEC 23264-2.Features of the Standardized TechnologyUsing the redactable signature schemes, a signer can set redactable data blocks in advance at the time of creating adocument and set each block as either disclosable or non-disclosable before public release. Moreover, the digital signature applied when a document is created can be used to verify a document that is partially non-disclosable, and to confirm that the document has undergone only legitimate editing. Furthermore, the redactable signature schemes adopted in the new ISO/IEC 23264-2 standard each have different additional security properties; and in the case of MHI06 and MIMSYTI05 jointly developed by Hitachi and AIST, both have the property of allowing documents to be edited multiple times and are able to control the disclosure scope divided into multiple levels.MHI06 has the property of enabling multiple signed documents or data to be merged, within the scope specified in advance (Mergeability), and enabling the information in redacted fields to be hidden (Undetectability of redactions). This scheme is suited to uses in which the scope of signed data to disclose should be dynamically and efficiently changed, depending on the privacy protection policy and status.MIMSYTI05 can add redactable signature functionality using any kind of digital signing method. It can be combined not only with such methods as RSA signature*2 or ECDSA*3 but also with quantum-safe signature methods. In addition, this scheme is suited to applications where documents are sorted by whether they contain redactions since it can detect the fact of redactions.Looking AheadThe redactable signature schemes were initially developed as digital technology for protection of public documents but are expected to find wider application not limited to that purpose, including for verification of the originality of partially released data. By combining this technology with sanitization technology, for example, it is expected to find wide use as technology achieving both privacy protection and data authentication. Hitachi and AIST will continue engaging in research and development on redactable signature and other cryptographic technologies, along with promoting their implementation in products and services, thereby contributing to realization of a safe digital society.(1) ISO/IEC JTC 1: JTC 1: Joint Technical Committee 1 of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)(2) RSA signature: A digital signature method relying for its security on the difficulty of integer factorization problem(3) ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm): A digital signature method relying for its security on the difficulty of the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problemAbout Hitachi, Ltd.Hitachi drives Social Innovation Business, creating a sustainable society through the use of data and technology.

Pihak Berkuasa Perancis Mahu ‘Tutup’ Telegram – Ketua Hak Asasi Manusia Rusia

Pihak Berkuasa Perancis Mahu ‘Tutup’ Telegram – Ketua Hak Asasi Manusia Rusia

(SeaPRwire) - Tatyana Moskalkova telah mengecam penangkapan Pavel Durov sebagai pelanggaran kebebasan bersuara Pihak berkuasa Perancis telah menangkap pengasas Telegram, Pavel Durov kerana mereka mahu menutup platform bebas sensur itu, kata pegawai hak asasi manusia tertinggi Rusia, Tatyana Moskalkova. Mogul teknologi kelahiran Rusia itu ditangkap selepas pesawat persendiriannya mendarat di Paris-Le Bourget pada Sabtu. Walaupun pihak berkuasa Perancis berjanji untuk membuat kenyataan rasmi pada Isnin, media tempatan melaporkan bahawa pendakwa raya percaya bahawa Durov telah gagal untuk mengekang penggunaan platformnya oleh penjenayah. Menulis di Telegram pada hari Ahad, Moskalkova berhujah bahawa “sebenarnya penangkapan Pavel Durov adalah cubaan untuk menutup Telegram, platform di mana anda boleh menemui kebenaran tentang hal ehwal dunia.” Oleh itu, penganiayaan terhadap Durov “menimbulkan kemarahan semua orang yang menyokong kebebasan bersuara dan penciptaan dunia multipolar,” tambahnya. Dalam catatan berasingan, Moskalkova mengecam penahanan Durov sebagai “pelanggaran besar lagi terhadap kebebasan bersuara.” “Ini adalah satu lagi contoh yang jelas tentang piawai berganda dalam hal menghormati hak asasi manusia asas oleh negara-negara yang memuji demokrasi tetapi, pada hakikatnya, sedang berusaha untuk menghancurkannya,” tulisnya. “Daripada memerangi jenayah, diskriminasi, dan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia yang lain, mereka mahu kawalan sepenuhnya terhadap ekspresi pendapat.” Moskalkova menggambarkan Durov sebagai seorang lelaki yang “mencipta alat komunikasi yang mudah digunakan, ringkas dan boleh diakses untuk orang ramai di seluruh dunia, saluran untuk penyebaran maklumat yang cepat dan bebas daripada sensur.” Telegram mengeluarkan kenyataan pada hari Ahad, mengatakan bahawa syarikat itu mematuhi undang-undang EU dan dasar moderasi kandungan. Ia berhujah bahawa ia adalah “tidak masuk akal” untuk mendakwa bahawa Durov bertanggungjawab atas penyalahgunaan platform oleh pelaku jahat. Awal tahun ini, Telegram telah melantik wakil undang-undang Belgium untuk memastikan pematuhan EU. Durov telah secara konsisten menolak untuk memberikan data pengguna kepada pihak berkuasa atau memasang apa yang dipanggil pengawasan “pintu belakang,” dan bercakap secara terbuka tentang tekanan yang dihadapinya daripada AS. Dia juga lantang tentang ketidaksetujuannya dengan kerajaan Rusia, yang menyumbang kepada keputusannya untuk meninggalkan Rusia pada tahun 2010-an dan berpindah ke UAE. Walau bagaimanapun, ramai ahli politik Rusia mengecam penangkapan Durov, dengan sesetengahnya mencadangkan bahawa ia mungkin bermotifkan politik. Beberapa tokoh awam di Barat, termasuk wartawan Tucker Carlson dan usahawan Elon Musk juga bercakap untuk mempertahankan Durov.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Toni Bou Wins 18th Consecutive FIM Trial World Championship Title

Toni Bou Wins 18th Consecutive FIM Trial World Championship Title

TOKYO, Aug 26, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Repsol Honda Team rider Toni Bou (Spain, 37 years old) has won the 2024 FIM* Trial World Championship. He has clinched his 18th consecutive title, extending his own record, by winning the Round 6 in France, held on August 25.This year’s Trial World Championship is contested over seven rounds (12 trials). Bou was off to a good start to the season by winning both trials at the TrialGP of Japan, held for the first time as a season-opener, at Mobility Resort Motegi. Although he dominated Round 2 in Andorra, and was victorious in the first trial of the following TrialGP of Italy, Bou’s second place finish in Trial 2 put an end to his winning streak. Undeterred, he dominated Round 4 in Germany for his third perfect GP of the season, and Round 5 in Belgium. Going into Round 6, the TrailGP of France, Bou had already amassed 8 wins out of 9 trials in pursuit of his 18th consecutive TrailGP title. Once again Bou was victorious, and with a sufficient point gap to his closest contender, teammate Gabriel Marcelli (Spain, 24 years old), was crowned champion with one round remaining.Since clinching his first world championship title in 2007 on HRC’s Montesa COTA 4RT factory bike, Bou has increased his unparalleled consecutive outdoor championship titles to 18, and has also won his 17th consecutive X Trial World Championship, an indoor competition raced on artificially prepared sections. He currently leads the 2024 indoor championship which resumes in October, aiming to claim his 18th consecutive title.Toni Bou | Repsol Honda Team“First of all, I would like to thank the team for the incredible work they have done this season. When there is a chance to win the title, there is always more pressure and the possibility of best and we got a great victory. If we can win the title by winning the race, then it's even better. It has been a very good season in which we have worked very well. It is one of the best seasons of my professional career and I am very happy.”Takahisa Fujinami | Repsol Honda Team Manager“It was an incredible day and I want to congratulate Toni for the victory and the title. He has once again shown how great his talent is and the effort he puts in race after race to achieve the best results. I am also happy with Gabri’s race. It will be important to continue at this level in Ripoll to achieve the runner-up position. I want to thank HRC, all the sponsors and the team for supporting us on the way to the title and making it possible once again.”Koji Watanabe, President of Honda Racing Corporation“I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Toni Bou on his unprecedented 18th consecutive win in the Trial World Championship.

Fujitsu tackles ‘drug loss’ in Japan through ecosystem to accelerate digitalization of clinical trials

Fujitsu tackles ‘drug loss’ in Japan through ecosystem to accelerate digitalization of clinical trials

KAWASAKI, Japan, Aug 26, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced that it will begin initiatives to attract global clinical trials to Japan and tackle the ‘drug loss’ issue by working with pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions to build a new medical data ecosystem. The efforts come under the Fujitsu Uvance Healthy Living, which aims to improve people’s well-being.In July 2024, Fujitsu formed a strategic partnership with Paradigm Health, Inc., a US startup that provides one of the world’s most advanced clinical trial platforms. Through utilizing this platform, Fujitsu’s Healthy Living Platform, and the Fujitsu Kozuchi AI service, Fujitsu and Paradigm will facilitate the collection and processing of data stored at medical institutions and speed up the clinical trial planning process.In addition, starting today, Fujitsu will release Patient-centric Clinical Trials, a new service for automatically creating clinical trial documents using Fujitsu’s proprietary large language model (LLM). This service will be positioned in the company’s Healthy Living portfolio.Fujitsu will continue to expand its support to include not only clinical trial planning, but also implementation, and will work to solve issues throughout the entire clinical trial process. Through these efforts, Fujitsu aims to secure 20.0 billion yen in revenue in fiscal 2030, as well as contribute to achieving a society in which patients can quickly obtain the medicine they need and choose the treatment that best suits them.BackgroundIn Japan, patients who participate in clinical trials are dispersed across multiple hospitals making the process costly and time consuming. There has been an increasing number of cases in which Japan is excluded from regions targeted for global clinical trials. The impact of Japan’s drug pricing policy is also contributing to this situation.As a result, the number of drugs that are in use outside of Japan but are not approved for use in Japan had risen to 143 as of March 2023 (source: the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan).Overview of the Initiatives1. Accelerating Digitization in the Area of Clinical Trials through Fujitsu’s Partnership with ParadigmFujitsu will work with Paradigm, a US startup that provides pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions with one-stop support for the clinical trial process, to develop a new clinical trial data ecosystem that utilizes medical data. Paradigm’s clinical trial platform, which hosts many global clinical trials and has a long track record of success, will be combined with Fujitsu’s operational support expertise and cutting-edge technologies in the area of healthcare and life sciences in Japan.Clinical data, such as medical data and genomic data, will be collected from medical institutions through Fujitsu’s Healthy Living Platform. Fujitsu’s AI service, Fujitsu Kozuchi, will process this data so that it is compliant with the necessary laws and regulations, and it will be provided to Paradigm. In addition, Paradigm will use its clinical trial platform to analyze the data and provide pharmaceutical companies with the insight needed to plan and conduct clinical trials. This will allow pharmaceutical companies to better understand the situation at the medical institutions as well as the distribution of patients during the planning phase of the clinical trial, and significantly optimize the clinical trial design process.Medical institutions will also be able to quickly access information about clinical trials in which patients are able to participate through Paradigm’s clinical trial platform, making it easier for medical institutions to encourage patients to participate in clinical trials at the appropriate time.Fujitsu will launch these solutions starting in September 2024, beginning with providing support to core clinical research hospitals.2. Providing Patient-centric Clinical Trials, a New Offering for Optimizing Clinical Trial Workflows through a Specialized LLMIn Japan, the hundreds of clinical trial-related documents that pharmaceutical companies need to produce to develop a new drug are still being created and managed manually. However, by using its LLM specialized for clinical trials, Fujitsu will offer a service that can automatically create these documents and ensure that they are in compliance with regulations.

Pemimpin negara EU mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat terhadap Rusia

Pemimpin negara EU mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat terhadap Rusia

(SeaPRwire) - Perdana Menteri Lithuania secara terbuka mengharapkan masa depan “tanpa Rusnya” ketika ditemani oleh Zelensky Semasa berucap memperingati hari kemerdekaan Ukraine, Perdana Menteri Lithuania Ingrida Simonyte menggunakan istilah “Rusnya” – satu penghinaan kaum – untuk merujuk kepada orang Rusia. Sejak tahun 2022, kerajaan Lithuania telah melancarkan tindakan keras di seluruh negara terhadap semua perkara yang berkaitan dengan Rusia. Berucap di samping Vladimir Zelensky di Kiev pada hari Sabtu, Simonyte mengisytiharkan bahawa kerajaan beliau akan “terus melakukan segala-galanya untuk mendekatkan kemenangan. Kemenangan cahaya atas kegelapan. Kemenangan kebaikan atas kejahatan. Kemenangan rakyat bebas. Yang akan kita sambut bersama. Dengan elektrik, dengan gas, dan tanpa Rusnya.” Ketika Zelensky melihat dan tersenyum, Simonyte mengakhiri ucapan beliau dengan slogan “Slava Ukraini” (Kemuliaan kepada Ukraine), suatu masa dahulu slogan yang digunakan oleh Organisasi Nasionalis Ukraine yang bekerjasama dengan Nazi pimpinan Stepan Bandera. ‘Rusnya’ dianggap sebagai penghinaan dan tidak berperikemanusiaan, dan penggunaan istilah ini hampir sama dengan perkataan yang sudah ketinggalan zaman untuk menggambarkan orang Yahudi sebagai ‘Yids’ atau orang Cina sebagai ‘Chinks.’ Jurucakap Kementerian Luar Negeri Rusia mengeluarkan respons satu perkataan pada hari Ahad, dengan menggelarkan Simonyte dan Zelensky “Nazi.” Lithuania, bersama dengan jiran-jirannya di negara Baltik, Latvia dan Estonia, telah menjalankan dasar anti-Rusia yang tegas sejak konflik Ukraine bermula. Pihak berkuasa di Vilnius telah mengarahkan pembongkaran monumen perang Soviet dan penyingkiran kubur askar Soviet, sementara beberapa selebriti yang dilahirkan di Rusia yang tinggal di Lithuania telah dicabut kewarganegaraan mereka atas sebab hubungan yang disyaki dengan konflik tersebut. Dalam satu kes awal tahun ini, penari balet Ilze Liepa telah dicabut kewarganegaraan beliau kerana mengutuk pemusnahan monumen Perang Dunia Kedua Soviet di negara-negara Baltik. Monumen kepada Nazi , termasuk yang terkenal ‘’, kekal tidak disentuh di Lithuania. Lithuania mengisytiharkan kemerdekaan daripada Kesatuan Soviet pada tahun 1991. Orang Rusia etnik membentuk hampir 10% penduduk republik Baltik pada masa itu, tetapi dianggarkan hanya 5.1% pada tahun 2023.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

‘FreePavel’: Elon Musk bertindak balas terhadap penangkapan Durov

‘FreePavel’: Elon Musk bertindak balas terhadap penangkapan Durov

(SeaPRwire) - Pengasas dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Telegram dilaporkan ditahan sebaik tiba di lapangan terbang Paris-Le Bourget pada hari Sabtu. Mogul teknologi Amerika Syarikat, Elon Musk, telah menyeru pembebasan pengasas dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Telegram, Pavel Durov, yang dilaporkan ditahan pada hari Sabtu sejurus tiba di lapangan terbang Paris-Le Bourget. Pihak berkuasa di Perancis dilaporkan percaya bahawa warganegara dua negara Rusia-Perancis berusia 39 tahun itu terlibat dalam pelbagai jenayah yang didakwa dilakukan menggunakan platformnya, dengan alasan bahawa kekurangan moderasi membolehkan Telegram digunakan secara meluas untuk melanggar undang-undang. Bilionaire Amerika Syarikat itu menggunakan X (dahulunya Twitter) untuk menyiarkan video Durov bercakap dengan wartawan konservatif Amerika, Tucker Carlson, pada bulan April tentang kebebasan bersuara dalam talian dan mendakwa bahawa dia gembira dengan fakta bahawa bilionaire Amerika Syarikat itu telah membeli Twitter. Dia menggabungkan video itu dengan tanda pagar '#FreePavel'. Musk cepat-cepat mengecam penangkapan yang dilaporkan itu. “POV: Ia adalah tahun 2030 di Eropah dan anda sedang dihukum mati kerana menyukai meme,” katanya dalam komen kepada berita tersebut. Usahawan teknologi Amerika Syarikat itu juga 'Masa-masa yang berbahaya' dalam reaksinya kepada catatan yang menyenaraikan pelbagai negara di mana “kebebasan bersuara sedang diserang” yang menyebut penangkapan Durov oleh Perancis. Menurut media Perancis, Durov tiba di Perancis dengan jet peribadi dari ibu negara Azerbaijan, Baku. Penterjemah teknologi itu dilaporkan diiringi oleh pengawal peribadi dan pembantu. Le Figaro, memetik sumber, melaporkan bahawa Durov sepatutnya menghabiskan sekurang-kurangnya satu malam di Paris, di mana dia merancang untuk makan malam. Durov memegang kewarganegaraan di Emiriah Arab Bersatu, Saint Kitts dan Nevis, Perancis dan negara asalnya, Rusia. Kedutaan Moscow di Paris telah mengatakan bahawa ia sedang menyiasat keadaan tersebut, walaupun ia belum menerima permintaan bantuan rasmi setakat ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
