Inspirasi Integriti: Bagaimana untuk Berjaya dengan Pematuhan dan Meningkatkan Prestasi Perniagaan

Inspirasi Integriti: Bagaimana untuk Berjaya dengan Pematuhan dan Meningkatkan Prestasi

(SeaPRwire) - Panduan Transformatif untuk Pematuhan dan KepimpinanBoston, Massachusetts 4 Dis, 2024 - Dalam landskap perniagaan yang kompleks pada hari ini, pematuhan sering dilihat sebagai beban yang perlu – pusat kos dan bukannya peluang. L. Stephan Vincze, seorang peguam yang berpengalaman, veteran politik Washington, dan profesional pematuhan korporat dengan lebih 25 tahun pengalaman, mencabar tanggapan ini dalam buku barunya yang inovatif, Inspiring Integrity: How to Win with Compliance and Propel Performance. Vincze menyediakan peta jalan yang komprehensif untuk mengubah pematuhan daripada kewajipan yang membosankan kepada kelebihan perniagaan yang strategik. Buku ini memperkenalkan rangka kerja lima langkah untuk membina dan mengekalkan program pematuhan yang berkesan. Daripada mentakrifkan kejayaan dan mewujudkan strategi bersama kepada melaksanakan secara kolaboratif dan mengukur keputusan, pendekatan Vincze memperkasa pemimpin untuk memanfaatkan pematuhan sebagai pemacu prestasi dan budaya etika. Ceramah Inspirasi: Menjadikan Etika Sebagai Tindakan Melalui anekdot dan kajian kes kehidupan sebenar yang menarik, Vincze menggambarkan impak mendalam pematuhan apabila didekati dengan integriti dan inovasi. Beliau menceritakan kisah Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif bioteknologi, yang diilhamkan oleh penyakit anaknya, yang menggunakan pematuhan sebagai asas untuk membangunkan rawatan yang inovatif. Dalam satu lagi contoh, beliau menekankan bagaimana rayuan yang ikhlas daripada ibu seorang kanak-kanak yang sakit mendorong pasukan jualan untuk selaras dengan peraturan pematuhan, yang menunjukkan dimensi kemanusiaan kepimpinan etika. Buku ini juga mengkaji kisah amaran, seperti skandal Theranos, untuk menggariskan akibat mengabaikan pematuhan. Analisis Vincze menunjukkan bagaimana kepimpinan etika awal dan program pematuhan yang mantap bukan sahaja langkah perlindungan tetapi pemacu penting kejayaan jangka panjang. Bacaan Wajib untuk Pemimpin dan Visi Inspiring Integrity adalah bacaan penting untuk Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, eksekutif kanan, pegawai pematuhan, penasihat undang-undang, pelajar undang-undang dan perniagaan, pelabur, dan ahli lembaga pengarah. Dengan nasihat praktikal dan pandangan yang boleh diambil tindakan, Vincze melengkapkan pembaca dengan alat untuk menyemai etika dan integriti ke dalam DNA korporat mereka, memupuk kejayaan yang mampan. Ulasan Editorial "Apabila ia berkaitan dengan memastikan budaya korporat yang sihat – yang memahami dan menghormati nilai perniagaan pematuhan – Steve Vincze adalah profesional 'pergi-ke'. Steve dan saya telah bekerjasama dalam pelbagai syarikat untuk membangunkan dan menanam budaya yang boleh menang dengan pematuhan di barisan hadapan. Buku ini adalah bacaan penting bagi mereka yang ingin melakukan perkara yang betul dengan cara yang betul. Menang dengan pematuhan adalah satu-satunya cara untuk menjalankan perniagaan anda." Rich Daly Presiden dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. "Steve Vincze telah menghasilkan buku yang hebat. Daripada melihat pematuhan sebagai beban, Steve melihatnya sebagai kunci kepada prestasi. Pegawai pematuhan dan kepimpinan korporat secara umum harus membaca buku ini untuk memahami bagaimana program pematuhan boleh memperkasa seluruh syarikat untuk melakukan yang lebih baik." Frank Lavin Pengarang Export Now; Bekas Duta AS "Anda menjangkakan buku ini menjadi bacaan yang sangat baik untuk tawaran pematuhan dan profesional pematuhan yang datang daripada bekas ketua pegawai pematuhan dan Marin AS. Tetapi apa yang tidak dijangka adalah dua kali ganda: Pertama, ia adalah buku yang menyentuh perasaan apabila kita mempelajari kisah yang menarik tentang bagaimana kepimpinan, kejujuran, dan integriti adalah tulang belakang kehidupan Vincze dan keluarganya sebagai pendatang dari Hungary ke AS. Kedua, ini bukan sekadar buku untuk pegawai pematuhan dan profesional pematuhan. Ia adalah buku untuk C-suite dan lembaga pengarah yang akan mengilhamkan eksekutif perniagaan untuk bekerjasama dengan pasukan pematuhan mereka untuk melakukan perkara yang betul untuk syarikat mereka dan untuk pesakit." Meenakshi Datta Rakan Kongsi, Sidley; Ketua Global Amalan Penjagaan Kesihatan; Ahli Majlis Kepimpinan Sains Hayat Global Ditampilkan di America Tonight Radio bersama Kate Delaney Mesej inspirasi Vincze telah menarik perhatian negara. Dalam temu bual baru-baru ini dengan hos pemenang anugerah Emmy Kate Delaney di America Tonight Radio, Vincze menyelami peranan penting kepimpinan etika dalam iklim perniagaan hari ini. Beliau berkongsi sorotan utama daripada bukunya dan membincangkan bagaimana syarikat boleh mengatasi cabaran pematuhan untuk mencapai kecemerlangan. Dalam temu bual itu, Vincze menekankan, "Pematuhan bukan tentang mengatakan 'tidak'; ia adalah tentang mencari cara untuk mengatakan 'ya' – secara etika dan berkesan. Apabila dilakukan dengan betul, pematuhan bukan sekadar perisai; ia adalah pedang yang mendorong inovasi dan prestasi."

The two events feature forums, exhibitions, competitions, workshops, and business matching sessions.Over 160 global intellectual property (IP) owners, users, experts, industry leaders, venture capitalists, and other prominent figures have gathered to discuss IP commercialisation, valuation and branding, cross-industry applications, emerging trends in innovation and technology (I&T), opportunities in the Greater Bay Area, ASEAN, and international prospects. More than 400 start-ups and innovative projects are showcased their products and technologies.Eric Chan, Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC; and Hu Wenhui, Deputy Commissioner of the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), attended the opening ceremony of the BIP Asia Forum this morning and delivered speeches.In his welcome remarks, Dr Lam said: “Hong Kong is a creative place and our films, TV shows, music, fashion and art are known worldwide. Hong Kong is also a place of scientific and technological innovation. The Global Innovation Index 2024 by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) ranked the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou science and technology cluster second globally for the fifth consecutive year. Hong Kong is an international trading and investment centre, so we need to provide a free and fair environment in which to do business. It is in our very interest to protect IP rights. The Business of IP Asia Forum brings together intellectual property professionals and business leaders from all over the world to discuss the latest developments in the IP world and to explore collaboration opportunities.”Mr Chan said in his opening remarks: “Our strategy for ensuring Hong Kong’s rise as a regional IP trading leader is built on two key pillars. First, enhancing IP infrastructure. We will update the Copyright Ordinance and the registered design regime to meet demand today and tomorrow. Legislative amendments will also be proposed to streamline IP litigation, allowing our courts to manage such cases more effectively. Second, we are building an IP savvy workforce and our Intellectual Property Department will work with the Qualifications Framework Secretariat to develop IP training materials for 23 industries. It will also advance our plans to introduce regulatory arrangements for local patent agents.”BIP Asia Forum promotes high-quality growthThis year’s BIP Asia Forum, themed “Reimagining IP for Impact and Growth”, features insights from industry leaders worldwide.During the “Policy Dialogue – Reimagining IP for Impact and Growth” session, Wang Binying, Deputy Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization, said: “Global IP filings have shown mixed results in 2023. These figures prove that there is a continued willingness of investment in IP, and innovative movement worldwide in general. It also posed a question, how do we keep faster development and change downsides into positives' An important way to improve this trend is to do promote IP financing, in particular, financing high-risk, high-potential startups and emerging technologies.”The first day’s Plenary Session, titled “Unlocking Business Success with IPs”, features Michael Moriarty, Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort; Guy Riddell, Managing Director of Peninsula Merchandising Limited; and Dr Na Wei, Senior Director of IP Licensing at Xiaomi. This headline session covers how to effectively combine brand, IP, and technology to drive sustainable business growth, explore new business opportunities and enhance the customer experience.In-depth discussion on the potential of IP financingThe afternoon session, “IP Valuation and Financing” explores various IP valuation methods, and the potential of IPs as financing tools for businesses. The session features Martin Brassell, Co-founder and CEO of Inngot Limited; Roland Emmans, Head of Technology & Growth Lending at HSBC UK Bank Plc; and Nicolas Konialidis, Asia Director and Technical Director of the Business Valuation Board (BVB) at International Valuations Standards Council (IVSC).This year, the BIP Asia Forum and Entrepreneur Day jointly present the Global Tech Summit; a two-day series of sessions exploring the transformative impact and opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI) across various industries, including food and agriculture, sports, real estates, communications and Web3. The “Startup Playbook” series also offers practical insights into developing start-ups, and provides in-depth and practical tips.Tomorrow, the Forum will feature two Plenary Sessions. In the morning, Jake Hwang, Chief Manager of Story IP Business at Kakao Entertainment Corp., will share insights on “Reimagining Content IP”, drawing on his experience with online novels, comics, and animation IPs such as What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, Business Proposal, and Run On. In the afternoon, “Responsibility of AI: Ethics, Inclusion, Impact”, featuring Theodora Lau, Founder of Unconventional Ventures, will focus on ethical issues related to AI.The afternoon session “IPHatch Asia – New Horizons in IP” will feature experts and tech entrepreneurs from Asia, shedding light on fresh IP pathways and the evolving role of IP in fostering business growth, while presenting insightful sharing by women in technology entrepreneurship. IPHatch Asia 2025 will also be launched during the session.The Forum’s Innovation and IP Market brings together more than 20 innovative projects from universities, R&D centres, start-ups and technology companies in areas such as smart healthcare, smart living, AI and robotics, and sustainability under the theme of “Smart City Innovation”.E-Day shines a spotlight on innovation and empowers start-upsThis year’s E-Day, themed “Where Start-up Dreams Take Flight”, brings together over 340 start-ups, invention projects, and support services from 13 countries and regions. Through business matching sessions and networking activities, the event provides a comprehensive analysis of I&T trends. The exhibition showcases innovative technologies, covering healthcare, AI and green tech.Other exhibitors include the first-ever Thailand pavilion at E-Day, led by the Department of International Trade Promotion under the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand, showcases 10 start-ups. The Australian pavilion, led by Investment NSW for the second year, features local green tech start-ups. Locally, the first ever “Hong Kong Innovation Pavilion” by the HKSARG Digital Policy Office joins E-Day and showcases over 30 award-winning projects and promotes outstanding local tech innovations.In the Innovation Frontiers: Elite Winners Dialogue session, award winners share their successful practices in applying innovative technologies to promote inclusive smart living. While the Symposium of Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Greater Bay Area, organised by the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau, invites funded enterprises under the Funding Scheme for Youth Entrepreneurship in the GBA to share their experiences and success stories of starting businesses.The first day’s T-Chat – Changes, Challenges and Chances: A Startup's Guide to Navigating the AI Era features Martin Karafilis, CEO of Fishburners, and Keith Jackson, Chair of the Hong Kong UK Business Forum. Mr Karafilis said, “Anytime you’re looking at scaling a company, it’s about expanding your circle of competence. The way I did this was to hire experts and professionals in certain fields that then enabled that to expand. Something a bit different now in the AI era is that you can infinitely expand your competence. Using AI tools, you’re actually able to present to investors an ability to go into new markets, to produce new products, or to work on technical products that maybe you originally didn’t have any experience in.”Prof Jackson said: “AI is not a panacea or silver bullet. You have to use it selectively in a targeted way, because it’s new and we’re all learning how to use it in a supportive way. Artificial intelligence is not emotional intelligence. A lot of business is derived from relationships, nurturing those relationships, and particularly as you expand to a lot of markets, doing that with some intercultural communication competence.”Tomorrow, the HKTDC will co-organise the Rising Stars: Gen Z Entrepreneurs seminar with the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, which will feature Ugochi Owo, CEO of Flindel; Ryan Lee, Chief Financial Officer of OAO Limited; and Maurice Chang, CEO & Co-founder of Mindplus AI, to share how the new generation of entrepreneurs leverages technology and innovative strategies to turn their visions into reality.Outstanding global start-ups gather at Start-up Express: International EditionThe popular Start-up Express: International Edition returns for the third successive year at E-Day with 10 winning start-ups covering augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation systems, AI English tutors, sustainable footwear made from recycled materials, modular robotic seats, and climate tech solutions. Fourteen start-ups are present on the first day of E-Day to share their entrepreneurial experiences and insights.Additionally, InnoClub, the one-stop platform co-developed by the HKTDC and Hang Seng Bank, also hosts the InnoClub Award Presentation Ceremony and Networking Reception on the first day of E-Day to recognise the outstanding achievements of InnoClub members in I&T.Adding to the excitement of the BIP Asia Forum and E-Day is DesignInspire, held concurrently from 5 to 7 December at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. DesignInspire brings together global design and creative leaders, trendsetting brands, associations, and academies to promote next generation creativity through a series of interactive exhibits, design masterpieces, and award-winning projects.Websites:BIP Asia Forum: https://bipasia.hktdc.com/en/Entrepreneur Day: https://portal.hktdc.com/eday/enStart-up Express International: https://portal.hktdc.com/startupexpress/en/s/start-up-express-internationalPhoto Download: https://bit.ly/3ZD4SjxThe 14th Business of IP Asia Forum, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government (HKSAR Government) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), officially commences today with Eric Chan, Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.Dr Peter K N Lam, GBM, GBS, Chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development CouncilHu Wenhui, Deputy Commissioner of the China National Intellectual Property AdministrationWang Binying, Deputy Director General of the World Intellectual Property OrganizationThe “T-Chat – Changes, Challenges and Chances: A Startup’s Guide to Navigating the AI Era” seminar on the first day of Entrepreneur Day with Martin Karafilis, CEO of Fishburners, and Prof Keith Jackson, Chair of the Hong Kong UK Business Forum.

“LEQEMBI” (Lecanemab) Approved for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer’s Disease in Mexico JCN Newswire

“LEQEMBI” (Lecanemab) Approved for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer’s Disease in Mexico

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec 5, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. and Biogen Inc. announced today that the Federal Commission forthe Protection Against Sanitary Risk (COFEPRIS) in Mexico has approved humanized anti-soluble aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibody “LEQEMBI®” (lecanemab) for the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease (AD)*.LEQEMBI selectively binds to soluble Aβ aggregates (protofibrils**), as well as insoluble Aβ aggregates (fibrils) which are amajor component of Aβ plaques, thereby reducing both Aβ protofibrils and Aβ plaques in the brain. LEQEMBI is the first approved treatment shown to reduce the rate of disease progression and to slow cognitive and functional decline through this mechanism. LEQEMBI is also approved and being marketed in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Great Britain.LEQEMBI’s approval is based on the large global Phase 3 Clarity AD study. In the Clarity AD study,LEQEMBI met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results.(1),(2)Approximately 1.3 million people in Mexico are estimated to suffer from AD, accounting for 60-70% of all dementia diagnoses.3 AD most commonly affects individuals over the age of 65.(3)Eisai serves as the lead of LEQEMBI development and regulatory submissions globally with both Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority. Eisai and Biogen will co-commercialize and co-promote LEQEMBI in Mexico.*Collectively referred to mild cognitive impairment due to AD or mild AD dementia.**Protofibrils are believed to contribute to the brain injury that occurs with AD and are considered to be the most toxic form of Aβ, having a primary role in the cognitive decline associated with this progressive, debilitating condition.(4) Protofibrils cause injury toneurons in the brain, which in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function via multiple mechanisms, not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells. It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may prevent the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.(5)About lecanemab (LEQEMBI®)Lecanemab is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. It is a humanized immunoglobulingamma 1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ).Lecanemab is approved and being marketed in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Great Britain for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) ormild dementia stage of disease (collectively referred to as early AD). The treatment’s approvals in these countries was based onPhase 3 data from Eisai’s global Clarity AD clinical trial, in which it met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results.1,2 The most common adverse events (>10%) in the lecanemab group were infusion reactions,ARIA-H (combined cerebral microhemorrhages, cerebral macrohemorrhages, and superficial siderosis), ARIA-E (edema/effusion), headache, and fall.Lecanemab is under regulatory review in 16 countries and regions, including the European Union. In November 2024, thetreatment received a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommending approval.Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normaland have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer's Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti- amyloid therapy.About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for ADEisai and Biogen have been collaborating on the joint development and commercialization of AD treatments since 2014. Eisaiserves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializingand co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.About the Collaboration between Eisai and BioArctic for ADSince 2005, Eisai and BioArctic have had a long-term collaboration regarding the development and commercialization of AD treatments. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture and market lecanemab for the treatment of AD pursuant to an agreement with BioArctic in December 2007. The development and commercialization agreement on the antibody lecanemab back-up was signed in May 2015.About Eisai Co., Ltd.Eisai's Corporate Concept is "to give first thought to patients and people in the daily living domain, and to increase the benefits that health care provides."

Sweetness Affecting Both the Young and Old: Prevent Diabetes with LAC This World Diabetes Day

SINGAPORE, Dec 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - How much sugar does a Singaporean typically take in a day? In a recent speech by Health Minister Mr. Ong Ye Kung, Singapore is too sweet. While the average daily sugar intake of Singaporeans has fallen from 60g in 2018 to 56g in 2022, this number still works out to about 11 teaspoons of daily sugar consumption, about 10% higher than the ideal intake of less than 50g.Amid an ageing population, the younger generation in Singapore is also increasingly affected by this chronic condition, highlighting a growing national health concern related to sugar consumption.Sugar, a common mis-solution to anxiety, often provides a sense of fleeting comfort. The instant boost in dopamine from sugar can create a cycle of dependency, giving temporary relief from stress or anxiety but contributing to harmful physical effects, such as inflammation, weight gain, and insulin resistance.The overconsumption of sugar, combined with sedentary lifestyles and other unhealthy dietary habits have contributed to diabetes becoming a major global health crisis today – Alarmingly, diabetes rates are rising among the younger generation, including both teenagers and young adults, contributing to nearly half a million cases in Singapore. Astonishingly, 40% of Singaporeans remain unaware of their pre-diabetic status, an often silent condition that could lead to type 2 diabetes.Diabetes is a chronic condition that if left unmanaged, can lead to serious health complications, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, nerve damage or even vision loss. However, type 2 diabetes can be prevented through proactive lifestyle changes, including healthy eating, regular physical activity, so as to maintain optimal blood sugar levels.In line with World Diabetes Day on 14 November, LAC (pronounced as L-A-C) is dedicated to highlight the importance of taking preventative measures against diabetes. By incorporating supplements that support blood sugar regulation and reduce carbohydrate absorption, along with a healthy diet and increased physical activity, individuals can maintain their glucose levels and maintain their metabolic health.LAC GlucoX is designed to support healthy glucose levels. Formulated with bitter melon and Fibersol-2, Banaba leaf, Gymnema, Chromium and Brown Seaweed, GlucoX helps slow down carbohydrate absorption and optimises glucose utilisation, supporting individuals in managing their blood sugar levels effectively.LAC Bitter Melon Formula, is formulated with Momordica Charantia Polysaccharide (MCP), a key compound from bitter melon known for its ability to support healthy blood glucose levels. It enhances the body’s ability to regulate insulin production and supports the overall metabolic health of individuals. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Apa yang Perlu Diketahui Tentang Lubang Lubang Gerusan Selepas Seorang Wanita Pennsylvania Mungkin Telah Hilang Ke Dalam Satu

(SeaPRwire) - Pihak berkuasa bimbang seorang nenek di barat Pennsylvania yang hilang ketika mencari kucingnya mungkin telah… Pasukan penyelamat menurunkan kamera tiang dengan alat pendengar yang sensitif ke dalam lubang pada hari Selasa tetapi tiada bunyi dikesan, manakala kamera kedua yang diturunkan menunjukkan apa yang mungkin kasut. Pihak polis mengatakan saudara-mara Elizabeth Pollard menghubungi polis kira-kira pukul 1 pagi untuk memaklumkan bahawa beliau tidak dilihat sejak Isnin malam ketika beliau pergi mencari kucingnya. Mereka menjumpai cucu perempuan Pollard yang berusia 5 tahun di dalam keretanya yang diletakkan berhampiran lubang sebesar lubang manhole. Berikut adalah beberapa perkara yang perlu diketahui tentang lubang runtuhan: Apakah lubang runtuhan? Lubang runtuhan ialah kawasan tanah yang tidak mempunyai saliran permukaan luar semula jadi dan boleh terbentuk apabila tanah di bawah permukaan tanah tidak lagi dapat menyokong tanah di atasnya, menurut Kajian Geologi AS. Tanah biasanya kekal utuh untuk tempoh masa sehingga ruang bawah tanah menjadi terlalu besar. Sekiranya tiada sokongan yang mencukupi untuk tanah di atas ruang tersebut, maka keruntuhan permukaan tanah yang tiba-tiba dan dramatik boleh berlaku. Seberapa kerap lubang runtuhan berlaku? Lubang runtuhan paling biasa berlaku di kawasan yang oleh ahli geologi dikenali sebagai kawasan karst, yang melibatkan jenis batuan termasuk batu kapur di bawah permukaan tanah yang secara semula jadi boleh larut oleh air bawah tanah yang beredar melaluinya. Ia juga boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh lombong bawah tanah lama. Kerugian terbesar akibat lubang runtuhan di AS cenderung berlaku di Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee dan Pennsylvania. Sebagai contoh, Florida sangat mudah terdedah kepada lubang runtuhan kerana ia terletak di atas batu kapur. Seberapa besar lubang runtuhan? Saiz lubang runtuhan boleh berbeza-beza, daripada lubang yang hanya beberapa kaki lebar hingga yang meliputi kawasan yang luas sehingga ratusan ekar. Kedalamannya juga boleh berbeza-beza, daripada hanya beberapa inci hingga lebih daripada 100 kaki (lebih daripada 30 meter). Ada yang berbentuk seperti mangkuk atau pinggan cetek, manakala yang lain mempunyai dinding menegak. Ada yang mengandungi air dan membentuk kolam. Lubang runtuhan baru-baru ini yang lain Pada bulan Jun, lubang runtuhan gergasi di selatan Illinois telah menelan pusat padang bola sepak yang dibina di atas lombong batu kapur, meruntuhkan tiang lampu yang besar dan meninggalkan jurang besar di tempat pasukan kanak-kanak sering bermain. Tiada siapa yang cedera. Pada tahun 2023, lubang runtuhan yang pada tahun 2013 telah menelan seorang lelaki yang tidur di rumahnya di pinggir bandar Tampa, Florida, dibuka semula buat kali ketiga, tetapi ia berada di belakang pagar rantai dan tidak menyebabkan sebarang kemudaratan kepada manusia atau harta benda. Pegawai mengatakan pembukaan semula lubang runtuhan itu bukanlah sesuatu yang luar biasa, terutamanya di Florida tengah dengan asas batu kapurnya yang berliang. Lubang runtuhan besar telah terbuka pada tahun 2020 di South Dakota berhampiran tempat seorang lelaki sedang memotong rumput. Ujian mendedahkan lombong besar yang tidak dimeteraikan dengan betul di bawah sebahagian daripada kawasan perumahan, dan lombong lubang sedalam 40 kaki (12 meter) di sudut lain kawasan kejiranan, kata peguam bagi beberapa pemilik rumah di kawasan itu. Sejak keruntuhan gergasi pertama, lebih banyak lubang runtuhan telah muncul. Lubang runtuhan besar yang telah menelan peralatan medan minyak dan beberapa kenderaan di tenggara Texas pada tahun 2008 telah berkembang pada tahun 2023 apabila lubang runtuhan lain telah terbentuk dan bergabung dengan lubang runtuhan pertama.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Bagaimana Automasi Membantu Syarikat Bersedia Menghadapi Kekurangan Tenaga Kerja “`

(SeaPRwire) - Sebelum Presiden terpilih Donald Trump menyatakan hasratnya untuk melakukan pengusiran besar-besaran, yang menggemparkan industri-industri yang bergantung pada pekerja imigran, Amerika Syarikat (AS) sudah pun menghadapi masalah kekurangan tenaga kerja. Generasi Baby Boomer sedang bersara dan tidak cukup pekerja untuk menggantikan mereka. Ini mempunyai implikasi besar terhadap ekonomi negara, dan berpotensi menyebabkan peningkatan upah kerana kekurangan tenaga kerja membolehkan pekerja menuntut gaji yang lebih tinggi. Ramai syarikat kini beralih kepada automasi—satu penyelesaian yang selama ini ditakuti oleh sesetengah pekerja—dalam usaha untuk terus berkembang dalam persekitaran ekonomi ini. “Tidak cukup orang di AS,” kata Aamir Paul, presiden operasi Amerika Utara di Schneider Electric, dalam ceramah TIME100 pada 3 Disember mengenai inovasi dalam kecerdasan buatan, automasi, dan infrastruktur lestari di AS. (Schneider Electric menaja acara tersebut.) “Jadi, jika kita mahu mengekalkan pertumbuhan KDNK yang kita perlukan, jika kita mahu mengekalkan AS sebagai enjin ekonomi dunia, kita perlu mencari cara untuk melibatkan orang ramai secara berbeza.” Schneider Electric dan syarikat-syarikat besar lain di seluruh AS menggunakan AI dan automasi untuk menggunakan tenaga kerja mereka dengan lebih cekap, bukan sahaja memikirkan bagaimana komputer boleh melakukan kerja-kerja yang tidak mahu dilakukan oleh orang ramai, malah melatih semula pekerja untuk melakukan kerja yang dibantu oleh mesin. Amazon, sebagai contoh, telah membina sebuah gudang di Shreveport, La., yang dikuasakan oleh robotik dan AI canggih 10 kali ganda lebih banyak daripada kemudahan sebelumnya—dan ia mewujudkan 30% lebih banyak pekerjaan mahir untuk orang ramai. Schneider Electric telah mengubah suai sebuah kemudahan berusia 64 tahun di Lexington, Ky., dengan bantuan AI untuk mengurangkan penggunaan tenaga dan air—tetapi semua kerja itu dilakukan oleh pekerja sedia ada. Dahulu, perbincangan mengenai AI dan automasi di kalangan syarikat-syarikat besar di AS akan menimbulkan kebimbangan di kalangan pekerja yang tertanya-tanya sama ada pekerjaan mereka terancam. Tetapi apabila syarikat-syarikat melatih semula pekerja dan menyediakan mereka untuk bekerja bersama-sama mesin, ramai orang menyedari bahawa automasi tidak semestinya menakutkan, kata Paul: “Anda mengubahnya daripada sesuatu yang ditakuti oleh orang ramai kepada sesuatu yang mereka gemari kerana mereka dapat melihat bagaimana kebolehan mereka dapat terus menyumbang.” Sesungguhnya, orang yang takut bahawa teknologi akan menggantikan mereka sering terbukti salah. Teknologi mungkin menggantikan beberapa pekerjaan, tetapi ia juga boleh mencipta pekerjaan baharu yang lebih baik. Apabila ATM mula diperkenalkan, juruwang bank bimbang mereka akan menjadi usang, tetapi sebaliknya, kemudahan baharu bank mencipta permintaan untuk lebih ramai juruwang. “Kita belum bersedia untuk menyerahkan kawalan kepada mesin,” kata Daniela Rus, pengarah Makmal Sains Komputer dan Kecerdasan Buatan di MIT, yang turut berada dalam panel tersebut. “Tetapi dengan mesin di sekeliling kita, kita boleh meluaskan jangkauan kita, kita boleh meningkatkan kekuatan kita, kita boleh meningkatkan ketepatan kita.” Sesetengah orang malah berteori bahawa keupayaan AS dalam automasi dan AI telah membantu ekonominya pulih lebih cepat daripada ekonomi di Eropah dan Asia. Lagipun, rantaian bekalan AS lebih berdaya tahan dan ekonominya lebih stabil. “Cara kita keluar daripada COVID sebagai sebuah negara, dan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang kita lihat berbanding pasaran global lain, adalah bukti yang signifikan terhadap automasi dan pembinaan keupayaan yang telah kita lakukan sebagai sebuah ekonomi,” kata ahli panel Sriram Krishnasamy, ketua pegawai transformasi di FedEx. kadar pengangguran di Kawasan Euro ialah 6.3% pada bulan Oktober, manakala kadar pengangguran AS kini berada pada 4.1%. AS kini mempunyai lebih ramai pekerja daripada sebelum pandemik, malah dalam sektor pembuatan, yang merupakan salah satu sektor yang menerima automasi sambil menerima pekerja mereka pada masa yang sama. Dan menurut Rus, pelbagai kajian telah menunjukkan bahawa orang yang bekerja dengan AI dan automasi lebih produktif daripada orang yang bekerja sendiri dalam pelbagai tugas—termasuk pengkodan, analisis inventori, dan penyuntingan dokumen. “Kita sebenarnya tidak membina sesuatu yang akan bersaing dengan kita,” katanya. “Kita membina sesuatu untuk kita.” TIME100 Talks: The New Industrial Renaissance telah disampaikan oleh Schneider Electric.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
