Rusia Beritahu PBB: Israel Anggap Perundingan Gaza Sebagai ‘Skrin Asap’

Rusia Beritahu PBB: Israel Anggap Perundingan Gaza Sebagai ‘Skrin Asap’

September 5, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Jerusalim Barat telah mengabaikan diplomasi demi "penyelesaian ketenteraan" kepada perang Gaza, kata Moscow. Israel telah menggunakan rundingan damai untuk mengelirukan masyarakat antarabangsa dan menyembunyikan niat sebenarnya di Gaza, kata timbalan utusan Rusia ke PBB, Dmitry Polyansky. Berucap di Majlis Keselamatan PBB pada hari Rabu, Polyansky menuduh Jerusalim Barat “degil mencari penyelesaian ketenteraan kepada masalah ini, sambil cuba mengabaikan keputusan Majlis Keselamatan PBB.” “Majlis Keselamatan bersatu dalam memahami bahawa menyelamatkan baki rakyat Israel dan warga asing dengan kaedah ketenteraan adalah mustahil dan tidak ada alternatif selain rundingan. Masyarakat Israel juga memahami dan mengiktiraf ini,” kata diplomat itu. “Bagaimanapun, kepimpinan Israel, malangnya, terus memperlakukan rundingan hanya sebagai ‘tirai asap’ yang direka untuk mengalih perhatian masyarakat antarabangsa.” Israel telah meminta mesyuarat Majlis Keselamatan PBB selepas mayat enam tebusan yang diculik oleh Hamas ditemui dalam terowong di selatan Semenanjung Gaza. Menurut Angkatan Pertahanan Israel (IDF), pejuang Palestin itu telah mengeksekusi tebusan tersebut beberapa hari sebelum tentera Israel memasuki terowong itu. Seorang warga negara Rusia, Alexander Lobanov, adalah antara yang terbunuh. Selepas mengecam kematian tebusan itu, Polyanksy berhujah bahawa “tawanan itu mempunyai lebih sedikit peluang untuk hidup semasa operasi Israel di Gaza sedang berlangsung.” “Hari ini kita berkabung bukan sahaja untuk rakyat Israel yang terbunuh, tetapi semua orang yang terbunuh di Gaza, sama ada rakyat Israel, Palestin atau warga negara lain.” Pada bulan Jun, Majlis Keselamatan meluluskan Resolusi 2735, yang menyeru “gencatan senjata segera, penuh, dan lengkap dengan pembebasan tebusan.” Rundingan itu telah runtuh beberapa kali sejak itu, dengan kedua-dua pihak saling menuduh satu sama lain membuat tuntutan yang tidak realistik. Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu telah menyalahkan Hamas atas kegagalan rundingan damai, dengan mengatakan bahawa militan itu telah “menolak semuanya.” Dia menegaskan bahawa Israel tidak merancang untuk menyerahkan kawalan terhadap apa yang disebut Koridor Philadelphi – jalur tanah di selatan Gaza berhampiran sempadan dengan Mesir – dengan alasan bahawa kehadiran IDF adalah perlu untuk mencegah serangan Hamas selanjutnya. “Orang ramai berkata: ini akan membunuh perjanjian itu. Dan saya katakan: perjanjian seperti itu akan membunuh kita,” kata Netanyahu pada hari Rabu, seperti yang dipetik oleh BBC. Amerika Syarikat telah meneruskan usaha untuk menjadi perantara antara Israel dan Hamas, dengan Setiausaha Negara Antony Blinken melakukan perjalanan ke Timur Tengah bulan ini. Bagaimanapun, Netanyahu menolak dakwaan Presiden Joe Biden bahawa dia tidak “melakukan cukup” untuk mencapai perjanjian damai. “Hamas perlu membuat konsesi,” katanya. Berucap di Majlis Keselamatan pada hari Rabu, pegawai PBB mengulangi seruan mereka untuk pembebasan semua tebusan dan gencatan senjata segera.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

‘Ancaman Mengancam’ Dari Rusia Mencetuskan ‘Perubahan Besar’ Dalam Dasar Pertahanan EU – Politico

‘Ancaman Mengancam’ Dari Rusia Mencetuskan ‘Perubahan Besar’ Dalam Dasar Pertahanan EU – Politico

September 5, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Moscow telah berulang kali menyatakan bahawa ia tidak mempunyai rancangan untuk menyerang negara-negara blok itu. Parlimen Eropah dijangka mengadakan perbincangan tertutup peringkat tinggi pada hari Rabu berhubung laporan baharu mengenai daya saing industri pertahanan EU, lapor Politico. Dokumen itu, yang disediakan oleh bekas Perdana Menteri Itali Mario Draghi, dilaporkan menyeru blok itu untuk memikirkan semula dasar pertahanannya berikutan konflik Ukraine dan ancaman yang dikatakan daripada Rusia. Draghi menyediakan laporan setebal 400 muka surat itu atas permintaan Presiden Suruhanjaya Eropah Ursula von der Leyen, yang berkata minggu lalu bahawa EU memerlukan “pembahagian semula sistematik” perbelanjaan pertahanannya untuk meningkatkan pengeluaran dan mengurangkan pergantungannya kepada AS. “Pangkalan industri pertahanan EU menghadapi cabaran struktur dari segi kapasiti, kepakaran dan kelebihan teknologi. Akibatnya, EU tidak seiring dengan pesaing globalnya,” menurut draf dokumen itu, lapor Politico pada Isnin. Laporan itu juga memetik “kemunculan jenis baharu ancaman hibrid” dan “kemungkinan peralihan fokus geografi” oleh AS sebagai alasan untuk EU mengambil “tanggungjawab yang semakin meningkat” untuk keselamatannya sendiri. Draghi, yang juga pernah berkhidmat sebagai ketua Bank Pusat Eropah, mencadangkan awal tahun ini bahawa laporannya akan memberi tumpuan kepada kemungkinan cara untuk menutup jurang produktiviti, yang kebanyakannya didorong oleh kekurangan pelaburan dalam inovasi. EU membelanjakan kira-kira sepertiga daripada apa yang dibelanjakan oleh AS untuk pertahanan dari segi kewangan, dan syarikat senjata blok itu bergantung 80% kepada pembekal antarabangsa, kebanyakannya dari seberang Atlantik, tulis Draghi. Pusat pemikir antarabangsa, Majlis Eropah untuk Hubungan Luar Negeri (ECFR), menyatakan bulan lalu bahawa konflik di Ukraine telah mendedahkan “keadaan tentera dan industri pertahanan Eropah yang menyedihkan.” Antara cadangan ialah pengenalan langkah untuk memberi insentif kepada penyelesaian pertahanan domestik berbanding pesaing, dan penyingkiran birokrasi untuk pengeluar senjata untuk mengakses pembiayaan EU. Amerika Syarikat, ahli pengasas NATO, telah memainkan peranan utama dalam pertahanan blok itu, memandangkan kebanyakan negara EU adalah ahli NATO. Sejak tercetusnya konflik Ukraine pada awal tahun 2022, Rumah Putih telah menghantar pasukan tambahan ke EU. Sesetengah negara, seperti Republik Czech dan negara-negara Baltik, mendakwa bahawa Rusia akan menyerang mereka jika ia menang di Ukraine. Moscow telah berulang kali menolak dakwaan itu. Presiden Vladimir Putin berkata pada bulan Jun bahawa tidak ada ancaman Rusia menyerang negara-negara NATO kerana ia tidak mempunyai “cita-cita imperialis,” dan menggambarkan dakwaan sedemikian sebagai “omong kosong.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Ukraine ‘menguasai’ agama – Gereja Yerusalem

Ukraine ‘menguasai’ agama – Gereja Yerusalem

September 4, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Tidak ada pembenaran untuk mengekang amalan keagamaan, tegas pegawai Ortodoks Gereja Ortodoks Yunani Yerusalem, salah satu gereja Kristian tertua di dunia, telah menyeru kerajaan Ukraine untuk membatalkan undang-undang yang mendedahkan Gereja Ortodoks Ukraine (UOC) kepada kemungkinan larangan. Kiev telah melarang organisasi keagamaan yang disyaki mempunyai hubungan dengan Rusia. Perundangan itu, yang ditandatangani oleh pemimpin Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky sebagai undang-undang pada bulan lepas, bertujuan untuk menutup UOC, denominasi Kristian terbesar di negara itu. UOC sebelum ini disasarkan dalam tindakan keras besar-besaran oleh negara, ketika pegawai memberitahu paderi dan orang beriman bahawa mereka harus beralih ke Gereja Ortodoks Ukraine (OCU) yang disokong Kiev. Dalam satu kenyataan pada hari Selasa, Patriarkat Yerusalem mengecam tindakan Kiev, menegaskan bahawa “hukuman sedemikian rupa terhadap lelaki dan wanita yang setia yang tidak terhitung jumlahnya tidak menggalakkan perpaduan, dan juga tidak menggalakkan keamanan.” “Tidak ada pembenaran untuk menjadikan kepercayaan keagamaan sebagai senjata dan kita semua mesti membenarkan mereka yang ingin berdoa untuk melakukannya dengan cara yang sesuai dengan hati nurani mereka,” tegas kenyataan itu. Yerusalem berkata ia bersimpati dengan mangsa konflik Ukraine, “tetapi daripada kesakitan ini, tidak boleh timbul perpecahan baru di kalangan orang beriman atau pengkriminalan orang yang tidak bersalah kerana amalan keagamaan mereka.” “Patriarkat Yerusalem menyedari cabaran dan perpecahan mendalam yang diwakili oleh konflik ini, dan komited kepada misi rohani dialog dan perdamaian melalui perbincangan persaudaraan,” tambahnya. UOC mempunyai hubungan sejarah dan rohani dengan Gereja Ortodoks Rusia (ROC), tetapi ia ditadbir sendiri. OCU diwujudkan pada akhir tahun 2018 sebagai sebahagian daripada kempen pilihan raya semula yang gagal oleh Presiden Ukraine ketika itu, Pyotr Poroshenko. Langkah itu menyebabkan perpecahan besar dalam dunia Kristian Ortodoks, kerana organisasi baru itu diiktiraf oleh Patriarkat Constantinople di Türkiye. Ia membatalkan keputusan yang dibuat pada abad ke-17 untuk mengakui kepimpinan rohani ROC di tanah yang kini merupakan Ukraine yang merdeka. Patriarkat Moscow memutuskan hubungan dengan Constantinople sebagai pembalasan. Patriarkat Yerusalem telah berusaha untuk menyembuhkan perpecahan itu. Undang-undang Ukraine sebelum ini dikritik oleh Gereja Katolik. Paus Francis berkata beliau bimbang tentang keadaan kebebasan beragama di negara itu, dan menggesa Kiev untuk “membenarkan mereka yang ingin berdoa untuk dibenarkan berdoa di gereja yang mereka anggap sebagai gereja mereka.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

September 4, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 04, 2024 -- Fangdd Network Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: DUO) (“FangDD” atau “Syarikat”) hari ini mengumumkan kemas kini lanjut mengenai pelan penyenaraian penggantiannya. Seperti yang diumumkan sebelum ini pada 3 Jun dan 31 Julai 2024, Syarikat bercadang untuk menamatkan kemudahan penerimaan deposit Amerika sedia ada dan menyenaraikan saham biasa Kelas Anya untuk didagangkan di The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) sebagai pengganti saham penerimaan deposit Amerika (the “ADSs”) (the “Substitution Listing”). Syarikat menjangkakan bahawa, setelah berkesannya Penyenaraian Penggantian, ADSnya akan berhenti disenaraikan di Nasdaq manakala saham biasa Kelas A yang diwakili oleh ADS akan didagangkan di Nasdaq di bawah simbol “DUO.” Syarikat telah melantik VStock Transfer, LLC sebagai ejen pemindahan Amerika Syarikatnya (the “U.S. Transfer Agent”) untuk Penyenaraian Penggantian. Untuk memudahkan Penyenaraian Penggantian, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Depositary”) akan meminta penyerahan semua ADS untuk ditukar kepada saham biasa Kelas A Syarikat secara mandatori (the “Mandatory Exchange”). Bagi ADS yang dipegang oleh peserta The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), Depositary akan mengarahkan U.S. Transfer Agent untuk mendaftarkan pemindahan bilangan saham yang disimpan yang diwakili oleh ADS tersebut kepada DTC untuk diperuntukkan oleh DTC kepada akaun peserta yang berhak ke atasnya; dan bagi ADS yang tidak disertifikatkan yang dipegang oleh pemilik selain DTC, Depositary akan mengarahkan U.S. Transfer Agent untuk mendaftarkan pemindahan bilangan saham yang disimpan yang diwakili oleh ADS yang tidak disertifikatkan atas nama pemilik masing-masing. Syarikat menjangkakan bahawa Pertukaran Mandatori tidak akan berkuat kuasa pada 4 September 2024, seperti yang dijadualkan pada awalnya. Syarikat sedang giat bekerjasama dengan DTC, Nasdaq dan pihak-pihak berkaitan lain untuk memuktamadkan Pertukaran Mandatori dan akan mengumumkan tarikh berkuat kuasa sebaik sahaja ia tersedia. Pemegang ADS tidak perlu mengambil tindakan apa-apa dan Depositary tidak akan mengenakan sebarang yuran kepada pemegang ADS berkaitan dengan Pertukaran Mandatori. Depositary akan mengeluarkan notis mengenai Pertukaran Mandatori untuk menggantikan notis terdahulu yang dikeluarkan kepada pemegang ADS pada 30 Julai 2024. Masih terdapat ketidakpastian mengenai sama ada dan bila Syarikat akan dapat memperoleh kelulusan daripada Nasdaq untuk melaksanakan Pertukaran Mandatori dan Penyenaraian Penggantian. Sebelum tarikh pertukaran, Nasdaq mungkin menangguhkan perdagangan ADS Syarikat sehingga Pertukaran Mandatori dan Penyenaraian Penggantian berkuat kuasa atau seperti yang ditentukan oleh Nasdaq.

Qianhai Mencapai Keputusan Berkesan dalam Inovasi Institusi pada Ulang Tahun Ketiga Pelan Qianhai

September 4, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 03, 2024 -- Pada September 2021, Pelan untuk Memperkukuhkan Pembaharuan dan Pembukaan Secara Komprehensif Zon Kerjasama Industri Perkhidmatan Moden Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong (Pelan Qianhai) telah dikeluarkan untuk menggariskan pembangunan masa depan Qianhai. Sepanjang tiga tahun yang lalu, Qianhai, hab untuk pembukaan tahap tinggi, telah meneruskan pembaharuan dan inovasi dan menyampaikan hasil yang nyata, menurut pihak Berkuasa Zon Kerjasama Industri Perkhidmatan Moden Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong baru-baru ini. Melalui pembaharuan dan pembukaan, Qianhai bermatlamat untuk menjadi enjin baharu bagi pembinaan Wilayah Teluk Besar Guangdong-Hong Kong-Makau (GBA) dan Zon Demonstrasi Percubaan Shenzhen. Inovasi institusi adalah salah satu ciri tersendiri Qianhai. Setakat ini, Qianhai telah secara beransur-ansur mewujudkan "Model Qianhai" untuk inovasi institusi dalam bidang utama seperti kemudahan pelaburan, kemudahan perdagangan, keterbukaan dan inovasi kewangan, dan inovasi undang-undang. Satu siri langkah inovatif telah dilancarkan, seperti sistem pengesahan pentadbiran untuk pendaftaran perniagaan, satu lesen bersepadu, sistem pendaftaran penggantungan untuk perniagaan, dan Stesen e-Perkhidmatan Qianhai Hong Kong-Makau. Statistik terkini menunjukkan bahawa Qianhai telah melancarkan 241 pencapaian inovasi institusi baharu sejak 2021, menjadikan jumlah keseluruhan 835, dengan 36 daripadanya dipromosikan di seluruh negara, menjadikan jumlah keseluruhan 94. Menurut indeks inovasi institusi zon percubaan perdagangan bebas China yang dikeluarkan oleh Universiti Sun Yat-sen, Qianhai telah menduduki tempat pertama selama tiga tahun berturut-turut. Inovasi dalam bidang kewangan dilihat sebagai salah satu inovasi institusi dengan ciri Qianhai yang paling tipikal. Dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, satu siri dasar inovasi kewangan telah dilaksanakan di sini, meliputi aspek seperti kewangan untuk kehidupan rakyat, saling hubungan pasaran kewangan, pembangunan industri kewangan moden, kemudahan perdagangan dan pelaburan rentas sempadan, dan peningkatan kerjasama dalam pengawalseliaan kewangan. "Suasana perniagaan kewangan yang mendalam di Qianhai membolehkan kami mencari peluang kerjasama dan mencapai kejayaan menang-menang," kata Pan Rui, Presiden WeLab Group di China. "Dengan pelaksanaan berjaya pelbagai kes inovasi kewangan, Qianhai telah menjadi destinasi pilihan untuk penduduk dan perusahaan Hong Kong yang menuju ke utara. Semakin ramai penduduk dan perusahaan Hong Kong telah berkumpul di Shenzhen untuk pembangunan. Lebih ramai bakat kewangan dari Hong Kong telah memilih untuk tinggal di Qianhai, menyumbang kepada pembangunan masa depannya," tambahnya. "Dasar Pinjaman Perusahaan Hong Kong baharu menyediakan saluran pembiayaan rentas sempadan baharu untuk perusahaan kecil dan mikro (PKS) seperti kami untuk mencari pembangunan di Qianhai. Pada masa lalu, rekod operasi dan kredit ibu pejabat di Hong Kong tidak dapat digunakan untuk menyokong cawangan Qianhai kami dalam memohon pinjaman bank. Dengan pelaksanaan dasar Pinjaman Perusahaan Hong Kong dan kerjasama penyiasatan kredit rentas sempadan Shenzhen-Hong Kong, ia telah membuka saluran baharu untuk pinjaman bank," kata You Zunni, ketua Gangshun (Shenzhen) International Trade Co., Ltd. LAiPIC juga merupakan salah satu penerima manfaat inovasi institusi di Qianhai. Sebagai tindak balas kepada Pelan Tindakan Pulang ke Rumah yang dilancarkan oleh Qianhai, syarikat itu memindahkan pejabatnya kembali ke Qianhai pada tahun 2019. Walau bagaimanapun, LAiPIC menghadapi beberapa kesukaran dalam perjalanan pulang. Pada masa itu, syarikat digital dan kreatif seperti LAiPIC tidak boleh disenaraikan di bawah industri budaya atau industri teknologi. Akibatnya, syarikat itu tidak berhak untuk mendapatkan sebarang bentuk sokongan dasar. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, pihak berkuasa yang berkaitan di Qianhai telah menjalankan penyelidikan di tapak di syarikat dan secara inovatif merumuskan pelbagai dasar untuk industri digital dan kreatif. "Oleh kerana industri berkembang pesat, LAiPIC mungkin tidak berada di tempatnya hari ini tanpa sokongan berharga atau pelepasan dasar sokongan tepat pada masanya," kata Quan Xinghui, pengasas bersama LAiPIC. Apabila syarikat itu menghadapi kesukaran semasa pembangunan pesatnya, pelaksanaan dasar yang cepat dan cekap membolehkannya menetapkan penanda aras, secara signifikan memajukan pertumbuhan industri. Pencapaian inovasi institusi Qianhai dalam bidang utama seperti undang-undang, kewangan, dan urusan kerajaan telah menunjukkan kelebihannya dalam inovasi institusi. Inovasi ini bukan sahaja membantu Qianhai mempercepat pendalaman pembaharuan secara komprehensif tetapi juga memberikan momentum baharu untuk Qianhai memajukan pendalaman pembaharuan secara komprehensif di Wilayah Teluk Besar dan juga China. "Qianhai mempunyai kelebihan dasar yang tiada tandingannya, dan kami juga berharap perusahaan di Qianhai akan terus mendapat manfaat daripadanya dan memeluk peluang yang lebih besar," kata Pan Rui semasa temu bual.

Moscow bertindak balas terhadap cadangan agar China ‘ambil kembali’ tanah dari Rusia

Moscow bertindak balas terhadap cadangan agar China ‘ambil kembali’ tanah dari Rusia

September 4, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Kementerian Luar Negeri Rusia telah memberitahu Taipei bahawa kedua-dua negara tidak mempunyai pertikaian wilayah. Jurucakap Kementerian Luar Negeri Rusia, Maria Zakharova, menyatakan pada hari Selasa bahawa Taiwan seharusnya memberi tumpuan kepada tawaran Beijing untuk penyatuan semula secara aman, bukannya mencadangkan bahawa China “mengambil kembali” tanah dari Rusia. Pada hari Ahad, ketua pentadbiran pulau yang diperintah sendiri, Lai Ching-te, mendakwa bahawa keinginan Beijing untuk bersatu semula dengan Taiwan tidak ada kaitan dengan pemulihan integriti wilayah China. “Jika demi integriti wilayah, mengapa ia tidak mengambil kembali tanah yang diduduki oleh Rusia yang telah diserahkan dalam Perjanjian Aigun?” tanya Lai. “Anda boleh bertanya kepada Rusia, tetapi anda tidak melakukannya,” katanya, bercakap kepada pihak berkuasa China. Perjanjian Aigun, yang ditandatangani antara Empayar Rusia dan China pada tahun 1858, telah mewujudkan sebahagian besar sempadan moden antara kedua-dua negara. Ketika diminta untuk mengulas mengenai kenyataan Lai, Zakharova berkata bahawa “pendapat ahli politik pinggiran individu, yang terobsesi dengan revanchism, mungkin menarik minat sesetengah orang, tetapi bukan bagi kami.” Lai, yang “didorong oleh Amerika” untuk membuat kenyataan sedemikian, harus memahami bahawa mereka “tidak akan membawa apa-apa kebaikan kepadanya atau rakyat Taiwan,” tegasnya. Zakharova mengingatkan Taipei bahawa Rusia dan China telah melepaskan semua tuntutan wilayah antara satu sama lain, seperti yang dinyatakan dalam perjanjian dua hala mengenai kerjasama dan sempadan negara dari tahun 2001 dan 2004, serta dalam dokumen dua hala lain. “Rusia secara konsisten mematuhi prinsip ‘Satu China’ dan menganggap kerajaan PRC [Republik Rakyat China] sebagai satu-satunya kerajaan China yang sah,” katanya. Jurucakap itu menasihatkan pentadbiran Taiwan untuk memberi lebih perhatian kepada keadaan ekonomi di pulau itu dan “mengambil pendekatan yang konstruktif terhadap cadangan kepimpinan PRC untuk penyatuan semula secara aman dengan China tanah besar.” “Kami yakin bahawa rakan-rakan kami di Beijing mempunyai pendirian yang sama,” tambahnya. Kedua-dua PRC dan Republik China (ROC) dibentuk selepas revolusi 1911 yang mengakibatkan kejatuhan pemerintahan imperialis di negara itu. ROC pada asalnya menguasai wilayah di tanah besar, tetapi kepimpinannya terpaksa melarikan diri ke Taiwan selepas perang saudara dengan komunis pada tahun 1949. Taiwan telah memerintah sendiri sejak itu, tetapi tidak pernah secara rasminya mengisytiharkan kemerdekaan dari China. Beijing, yang mematuhi dasar ‘Satu China’, menganggapnya sebagai wilayah yang terpisah.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Hitachi Develops a Model of BuilMirai Building IoT Solution for Small and Medium-Sized Buildings to Strengthen Green & Smart Building Business

Hitachi Develops a Model of BuilMirai Building IoT Solution for Small and Medium-Sized Buildings to Strengthen Green & Smart Building Business

September 4, 2024
TOKYO, Sept 4, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501) and Hitachi Building Systems, Co., Ltd. today announced that they have newly developed a new model of BuilMirai building IoT solution for small and medium-sized(1) buildings (hereafter, the solutions). The solutions are included in the Lumada(2), improve building management efficiency, maintain and improve operational quality, and enhance user comfort. By launching the solutions, Hitachi and Hitachi Building Systems strengthen their green & smart building business.Green & Smart Building Business ConceptThe solutions are a package of solutions required by small and medium-sized buildings based on the technology, experience, and know-how that Hitachi has accumulated through the development and provision of BuilMirai for large buildings. Hitachi Building Systems will provide the solutions as a service. As a first step, from November 2024, Hitachi Building Systems will begin offering three solutions, all available via smartphones, to pass through security points at apartments, monitor building facilities for malfunctions, and monitor security camera imagery. The company will offer the solutions via monthly subscriptions that customers can select as needed, reducing their investment burden and supporting the GX and DX of small and medium-sized buildings.In the future, Hitachi and Hitachi Building Systems will continue to expand and enhance their menu of solutions and promote the development of a global standard model of BuilMirai in collaboration with GlobalLogic Inc., a Hitachi group company and will accelerate the global expansion of the green & smart building business.In recent years, a variety of social issues and needs have emerged against a backdrop of the rising prices of raw materials and energy, soaring labor costs, labor shortages, and climate change associated with global warming. In the building-related field as well, there has been a significant increase in interest in creating new value for buildings in response to changes in office demand, improving the efficiency of building management, and responding to environmental issues such as the more efficient use of energy.In large-scale redevelopment projects, there is a growing trend of building dedicated smart building systems to address these challenges. However, for small and medium-sized buildings, which are the majority of buildings in Japan, it is difficult to implement GX and DX initiatives due to budget constraints, including installation cost, and there is a dearth of systematic solutions suitable for small and medium-sized buildings.Hitachi has been selling the BuilMirai building IoT solution that serves as a platform for green & smart buildings, to large buildings to date. BuilMirai has been chosen to be the building OS(3) for flagship projects such as BLUE FRONT SHIBAURA (Shibaura Project), and Hitachi and Hitachi Building Systems has developed the solutions to meet the GX and DX needs of small and medium-sized buildings.Overview and Features of the SolutionsThe first in a series of BuilMirai models for small and medium-sized buildings is a set of as-a-service solutions: a security solution that enables security points in apartments to be controlled remotely, a building facility management solution that enables building facilities such as water tanks, pumps, and power receiving and transforming equipment to be monitored remotely, and a monitoring solution that enables security camera imagery from multiple locations to be remotely monitored.1. Very convenient use via smartphonesAll of the solutions can be easily used via a smartphone by apartment residents and building managers at any time and any place.2. Subscriptions allow users to select the solutions they need, reducing the investment burdenCustomers can select the solutions they need and subscribe to the service on a monthly basis, reducing the investment burden.3. Improved security and comfort of apartmentsThe security solution enables users to unlock security points such as entrances and elevators using a smartphone and call the elevator car to the entrance floor. In addition, guests and couriers can be pre-registered to ensure smooth entry by verifying their GPS location and conducting a one-time authentication.The monitoring solution also allows users to remotely unlock entrance security points while viewing security camera images in real time using a smartphone and to record visitors.Hitachi's Green & Smart Building Business InitiativesHitachi and Hitachi Building Systems are global providers of maintenance services utilizing digital technologies such as IoT and AI for more than one million elevators, escalators and other building equipment, taking advantage of more than 2,000 business bases. Leveraging this strength, they help buildings become smarter and more environmentally responsive. The BuilMirai building IoT solution is provided as a platform for green & smart buildings, connecting various building facilities and systems to enable centralized management, analysis, and control of data. This will help improve the efficiency of building management, maintain and improve the quality of operations, and enhance the comfort of users.Hitachi and Hitachi Building Systems are also strengthening their building equipment and systems business, which is a part of their green & smart buildings business. In April 2024, they consolidated the access control system business of the Hitachi Group into the Building Systems Business Unit of Hitachi, which includes Hitachi Building Systems, to strengthen its structure.In the air conditioning equipment business, Hitachi Building Systems and Hitachi Global Life Solutions, Inc. (hereafter Hitachi GLS), which provides air conditioning equipment and the air conditioning IoT solution "exiida," have been strengthening their collaboration since 2022.

Singapore’s construction industry set to outpace the country’s GDP growth rate this year

Singapore’s construction industry set to outpace the country’s GDP growth rate this year

September 4, 2024
SINGAPORE, Sept 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Construction growth in Singapore sees a 12 percent rise in productivity in 2024, outstripping the country’s modest overall GDP growth rate of 2-3 percent four times over, according to global professional services company, Turner & Townsend[1].With construction volume anticipated to reach between S$32bn to S$38bn by the end of 2024[2], Turner, and Townsend’s Singapore Market Intelligence cites a series of government backed initiatives and major state projects, such as Changi Airport Terminal 5 (T5) and Tuas Port, are key contributors boosting demand.Recent built environment incentives including the enhanced Contractors Registration System (CRS), the Productivity Innovation Project (PIP), the Future Energy Fund and Energy Efficient Grant are supporting activity. By year-end, the Singaporean state is expected to contribute to 55 percent of domestic construction projects while the private sector is poised for a contribution of 45 percent. Despite ongoing global economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability, the construction market in Singapore is also benefitting from investment in digital infrastructure and the launch of the NEC4[3] contract by the Building Construction Authority (BCA). The latter providing favourable conditions and extensive options for collaborative contracting.While the overall growth trajectory is positive for the domestic construction sector, there are still challenges to navigate principally the availability of skilled labour.

Erdogan Akan Hadiri Sidang Kemuncak BRICS – Moscow

Erdogan Akan Hadiri Sidang Kemuncak BRICS – Moscow

September 3, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Turki akan menghadiri pertemuan di Kazan setelah Ankara dilaporkan memohon untuk menjadi ahli blok ekonomi ini. Presiden Turki Recep Tayyip Erdogan telah menerima jemputan Kremlin untuk menghadiri sidang kemuncak BRICS di bandar Kazan, Rusia pada bulan depan, kata pembantu presiden Rusia Yury Ushakov pada hari Selasa. “Cadangan itu telah disampaikan kepada pihak Turki, [dan] Erdogan menerimanya,” kata Ushakov kepada agensi berita Interfax. Kenyataan itu dikeluarkan selepas Bloomberg melaporkan pada hari Isnin bahawa Türkiye telah memohon untuk menjadi ahli BRICS. Menurut saluran berita itu, Ankara telah mengemukakan permohonan untuk menyertai blok ekonomi itu “beberapa bulan yang lalu,” sebahagiannya didorong oleh “perselisihan” antara Türkiye dan negara-negara NATO yang lain berhubung konflik Ukraine. Dalam sidang akhbar pada hari Selasa, Omer Celik, jurucakap parti AK yang memerintah Erdogan, mengesahkan bahawa proses permohonan itu “sedang berjalan.” Celik tidak mengatakan dengan tepat bila Türkiye mengemukakan permohonannya, tetapi Menteri Luar Negeri Turki Hakan Fidan menyatakan pada bulan Jun bahawa Ankara berhasrat untuk menyertai blok itu, sebelum membincangkan perkara itu dengan Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin di Moscow. Türkiye adalah negara NATO pertama yang memohon untuk menjadi ahli kumpulan BRICS yang bukan Barat. Sejak istilah itu pertama kali dicipta pada tahun 2001, BRICS telah berkembang dari sebuah akronim menjadi sebuah pakatan tidak rasmi yang telah mengatasi blok G7 yang diketuai AS dalam bahagiannya dalam KDNK global, mempunyai bank pembangunannya sendiri, dan telah berkembang dari empat ahli - Brazil, Rusia, India, dan China - kepada sembilan, termasuk Afrika Selatan, Iran, dan Emiriah Arab Bersatu. Erdogan telah menghadiri sidang kemuncak BRICS sebelum ini, tetapi tidak pernah sebagai bakal ahli blok itu. Awal tahun ini, pegawai Turki yang tidak dinamakan memberitahu bahawa ketegangan dengan Kesatuan Eropah telah memaksa Ankara untuk mencari rakan kongsi ekonomi baharu di tempat lain. “Kami tidak melihat Brics sebagai alternatif kepada NATO atau EU,” kata seorang pegawai. “Namun, proses kemasukan yang terhenti ke Kesatuan Eropah menggalakkan kami untuk meneroka platform ekonomi lain.” Pegawai itu menambah bahawa, walaupun 31 negara anggota NATO yang lain adalah “sekutu di atas kertas” Türkiye, mereka sering mengabaikan kebimbangan keselamatan Ankara dan menolaknya daripada mendapatkan peralatan ketenteraan terkini. “Kami ingin menjadi sebahagian daripada setiap platform pelbagai hala, walaupun hanya ada peluang kecil untuk memberi manfaat kepada kami,” jelas pegawai itu. Sehingga petang Selasa, pejabat Erdogan belum mengesahkan penyertaan presiden itu dalam sidang kemuncak Kazan. Perhimpunan itu dijadualkan berlangsung pada 22-24 Oktober di bandar di barat daya Rusia itu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

GMG Provides Update on Modular Graphene Production Plant & Capital Expenditure

GMG Provides Update on Modular Graphene Production Plant & Capital Expenditure

September 3, 2024
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 3, 2024) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Limited (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce this business update on its recently commissioned Modular Graphene Production Plant at Richlands, Australia.Figure 1: Graphene Production Plant Project TeamTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/221932_ac9be57c04a1b96c_001full.jpgThe newly commissioned Graphene Production Plant as seen in Figure 1 has been operating and producing Graphene since its commissioning date in December 2023.The performance of the production unit has exceeded the Company's expectations in both graphene production rate and graphene quality. The Company continues to perform minor optimisations with this new production plant which have both increased production yield and quality of the graphene.The Company has also authorised a total of AU$250k of capital expenditure for new equipment for quality assurance and quality control purposes of the Company's graphene for its Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery and its liquid graphene products, THERMAL-XR® and G® Lubricant. The equipment being procured by the Company includes: a Raman Spectrometer and a Particle Size Analyzer amongst others. These are sophisticated analytical and characterisation laboratory equipment which will be operated by GMG scientists and technicians. To date the Company has been fortunate to work with various Universities to obtain this analysis. Once the equipment is procured, delivered, commissioned and operational the Company will largely be self-sufficient on testing of its nano materials.GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We are very excited to see the new modular plant exceed expectations in terms of graphene production and quality. The expansion of our graphene characterisation equipment will also reduce learning loop times for optimisation projects where we no longer have to wait for University equipment access. The graphene production system uses GMG's self developed innovative plasma technology which creates the high quality graphene GMG's end products need to deliver their notable benefits."GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "It is great to see the Company's production technology maturing to this point as this is GMG's fundamental core competency. Ongoing graphene production and characterisation developments will only support the Company's ability to develop and provide its useful liquid graphene products and Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery."About GMG www.graphenemg.comGMG is a clean-technology company which seeks to offer energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene, including that manufactured in-house via a proprietary production process.GMG has developed a proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its 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 focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving paint), lubricants and fluids. 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 G+AI Batteries.For 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.

CleverTap Launches Product Experiences For Optimizing App and Web User Experience

CleverTap Launches Product Experiences For Optimizing App and Web User Experience

September 3, 2024
Mountain View, Calif, & Mumbai, India, Sept 3, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CleverTap, the all-in-one engagement platform, today announced the launch of Product Experiences – a one-stop solution to effortlessly experiment and elevate customer experiences across web and apps to help maximize lifetime value. With a no-code approach, user-friendly UI, and advanced segmentation capabilities and analytics, Product Experiences allows product and growth managers to effortlessly personalize as well as optimize app and website user experiences. In today's competitive app landscape, the stakes are higher than ever for businesses. With 50% of users uninstalling an app within 30 days and 25% abandoning it after just one use, the pressure is on the brand to deliver personalized experiences. Any issue in user experiences can lead to swift abandonment given the ease of access to other alternatives. According to studies by McKinsey, a staggering 70% of drop-offs are due to sub-par in-app experiences, while 76% of customers express frustration when brands fail to provide personalized interactions.That’s where CleverTap Product Experiences steps in to address these critical challenges. It empowers product managers and growth teams to effortlessly experiment and make swift changes to the app's design, functionality, and workflows with minimal technical dependency—be it A/B testing onboarding, add-to-cart flow variants, updating banners, showing dynamic pricing, and other content. Thus democratizing app and web experience management by enabling growth teams to independently manage in-app monetization and personalization without the need for additional app updates. This drives operational efficiency, ensuring your business remains agile and responsive to market demands.The key components of Product Experiences include Remote Config and Product A/B Testing. Remote Config allows marketers and product managers to effortlessly map app and web functionalities to Remote Config’s user friendly interface, enabling seamless control and personalization of the user experience. They can create precise segments with zero-code and override variable values to tailor the experience for specific audiences directly from the CleverTap dashboard.With Product A/B Tests, marketers can set up experiments with multiple variants related to UI, functionality, and workflows. Through precise measurement of results based on key performance indicators (KPIs), businesses can analyze performance with detailed analytics and seamlessly deploy the most successful version to their user base.Anand Jain, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, CleverTap said, “Businesses are continuously striving to push out newer features and updates to benefit the end user. The app updates that bring these changes are often the result of a complex, time-consuming and resource-intensive process. App release cycles are not scalable, cost-effective or agile enough to respond to market demands and keep up with the rapidly changing business environment. Product Experiences addresses these industry pain points by empowering businesses to take control of their app and web experiences with minimum technical dependency. Its unique capabilities offer CleverTap customers an all-in-one solution that redefines campaign management and performance and app and web experience management, proving to be a complete platform for future digital engagement success.” About CleverTapCleverTap is the leading all-in-one customer engagement platform that helps brands unlock limitless customer lifetime value.
