It was held at Andaz Seoul Gangnam on the 17th of April. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder4748"> <a href="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391953/1.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391953/1.jpg?p=medium600" title="First ‘Korea Medical Innovation Research Forum’ regular seminar" alt="First ‘Korea Medical Innovation Research Forum’ regular seminar" /></a> First ‘Korea Medical Innovation Research Forum’ regular seminar </div> KMIRF was launched last March by experts in various fields of the medical industry, and is co-represented by Dae Hee Kang, former dean of Seoul National University College of Medicine, current president of the Telemedicine Society, and Jong Yoon Lim, former chairman of the Bio Association, registered director of Hanmi Science and chairman of COREE Group. Medical experts who serve as steering and working committee members of each division, including co-representatives Dae Hee Kang and Jong Yoon Lim, gathered and led a heated discussion for medical reform. In addition, the newly elected People Power Party Representatives Cheolsoo Ahn, Soomin Park, and Democratic Party Representative Do-geol Ahn (via video conference) attended and advocated the Forum at the National Assembly level. Co-representative Jong Yoon Lim mentioned the urgency of addressing immediate medical reform in his opening speech and said, "Medical intellectual property rights belong to the country and the people, and in order to improve the country's global competitiveness and future value in medicine, we need to go beyond Healthcare 4.0 and create a national and permanent proposition." "We will definitely propose future medical innovation policies," he said. "We plan to hold regular seminars for KMIRF at least six times a year and frequently put forward future medical innovation policies with the cooperation of experts and policymakers in each field." In his congratulatory address, Rep. Cheolsoo Ahn said, "The paradigm of health care has completely changed through COVID-19, and now, as part of medical reform, we need to establish a 'future-oriented legal system' that recognizes upcoming technological and social changes, and eliminates regulations that may become obstacles in advance." He emphasized, "It is time to play a role in preparing ahead for the future," and added, "I hope that KMIRF will be play a central role for this change." Co-representative Dae Hee Kang emphasized the importance and revitalization of digital healthcare and personalized preventive medicine through a presentation on the topic of 'Future Medicine and Digital Healthcare', as well as laying out the purpose and role in the establishment of KMIRF along with future goals. He also explained the operation plan and said, "We plan to register as an official research group within the National Assembly Secretariat and will fulfill our role as Korea's representative medical think tank." Industrial Division Director Mahn Soon Hwang gave a presentation on 'Bio-Industry Trends' and emphasized the importance of the country, companies, and investments for the development of the bio-ecosystem and medical reform. In addition, a free discussion was commenced in relation to digital health, especially digital therapeutics, as with new therapeutics. It was suggested that regulatory bodies should be able to determine the price and fee structure that will compensate private companies for their enormous investment in clinical research at the time of approval, and came to a consensus that the tone should be set globally in which any country applying for clinical trials or regulatory approval should be adequately recompensed according to such profit structure logic. As the first step in accomplishing this vision, we have decided to pursue a project regarding multi-national digital therapeutics' clinical trials around the world. Hee Hwang, CEO of Kakao Healthcare, expressed his encouragement by saying that he deems it as a very timely strategy and said, "As a healthcare expert, I will utilize my expertise to help with the research group's first project."

<title><![CDATA[DEEPX Expands First-Generation AI Chips into Intelligent Security and Video Analytics Markets]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[Award-winning on-device AI chipmaker will pursue key industry partnerships to bolster this expansion; following a strong showing at ISC West, it will continue this momentum at Secutech Taipei, Embedded Vision Summit, and COMPUTEX 2024. LAS VEGAS and SEOUL, South Korea, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- <a href="https://deepx.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">DEEPX</a>, an on-device AI semiconductor company, is announcing plans to expand its first-generation AI chip lineup to focus on the intelligent video analytics and security system market — an expansion driven by key business alliances with global physical security companies, physical security device OEM/ODMs, and IDH companies. To this end, the company recently had an exclusive booth at ISC West (The International Security Conference and Exposition), the world's largest security exhibition held from April 9th to 12th in Las Vegas, USA, where it met with more than 400 companies and more than 600 business representatives from leading global security companies. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1"> <a href="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391969/20240410_132450__ISC_West_2024.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391969/20240410_132450__ISC_West_2024.jpg?p=medium600" title="DEEPX’s booth highlighted its award-winning on-device AI semiconductors, drawing hundreds of visitors throughout the ISC West show." alt="DEEPX’s booth highlighted its award-winning on-device AI semiconductors, drawing hundreds of visitors throughout the ISC West show." /> </a> DEEPX’s booth highlighted its award-winning on-device AI semiconductors, drawing hundreds of visitors throughout the ISC West show. </div> To explore partnering with DEEPX to drive synergies in the security and surveillance industry, please contact: <a href="mailto:info@deepx.ai" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">info@deepx.ai</a>  DEEPX will also have a booth #123 at the Secutech Taipei exhibition in Taiwan from April 24 to 26 to showcase its innovative solutions for AI of Things (AIoT) and to expand product collaborations with physical security companies and global industrial equipment manufacturers. The global AI video analytics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 33% from $18.11 billion in 2023 to $75.35 billion by 2028. This is driven by the rapid expansion of industries that are applying vision AI capabilities, such as smart cities and transportation — including traffic control — smart factories, smart homes, retail, distribution, and healthcare. Faced with communication delays, privacy issues, and network costs in systems that previously ran AI on the cloud or central servers, these markets require the realization of intelligent video analysis functions in real time using on-device AI semiconductors. In addition, a reorganization of the physical security industry's global supply chains is creating an opportunity for DEEPX to accelerate the expansion of its on-device AI solutions. Harnessing this opportunity to empower physical security companies worldwide, DEEPX's DX-M1, which uses a 5nano processing, has secured a significant lead compared to similar solutions on the global market by demonstrating overwhelming efficiency of power consumption to performance. DX-M1 supports real-time AI computation processing of more than 30 frames per second (FPS) for more than 16 channels of multi-channel video on a single chip. Moreover, unlike other AI semiconductors, it has a wide spectrum of AI model support, from the most popular YOLOv5 model used for object recognition to the latest YOLOv9 and vision transformer models. This technological and market advantage is made possible by more than 240 patents covering the underlying technology that ensures low manufacturing costs, low power consumption, and competitive pricing — all key considerations for customers when purchasing AI semiconductors. DEEPX is currently running an Early Engagement Customer Program (EECP) program to attract early customers, offering a small camera module with DX-V1 (5TOPS), an AI SoC solution; M.2 module with DX-M1 (25TOPS), an AI accelerator solution; DX-H1 quattro PCIe card (100TOPS), a product for AI servers; and DXNN®, DEEPX's developer environment. Currently, more than 100 global companies have received hardware and software from DXNN® through the program, which they are using to develop new AI-powered products for mass production.  Following its participation in ISC West and Secutech Taipei, DEEPX will attend Embedded Vision Summit in Silicon Valley in May and COMPUTEX 2024 in Taipei in June to accelerate its global business expansion with local businesses and global distribution organizations.

<title><![CDATA[Combining Sustainability and Cybersecurity: Century Iron & Steel and Century Wind Power Both Receive ISO 27001 Information Security Certification]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[TAIPEI, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Information security is now a critical issue that no enterprise can afford to ignore. Century Iron & Steel Industrial Co., Ltd. ("CIS") and its subsidiary Century Wind Power ("CWP") have both now received ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security Management System certification from TÜV Rheinland. The certificates are proof that the two companies' information security system management meets international standards and effectively supports their information security. CIS considers sustainable development to be one of its core values. EN 1090 and ISO 3834 certifications were obtained in 2018, demonstrating to customers the quality of welding management at the company from material selection to production. In recent years, CIS has focused its efforts on energy conservation and environmental protection, resulting in the further obtaining of ISO 14001, ISO 14064-1, and ISO 50001 international certifications. At the certificate presentation ceremony on March 29, 2024, Mr. Gonzalo de Castro Alberto, Senior Vice President of Global Operations at TÜV Rheinland, presented the Chairman of the Board, Wen-Xiang Lai of the Century Group, with the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security Management System certification. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1"> <a href="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391938/0329_1.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391938/0329_1.jpg?p=medium600" title="" alt="" /> </a> </div> The ISO 27001 Information Security Management System Standard provides businesses with a set of international standards for the establishment, operation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of their information security management systems. The standard not only embodies current best practice in information security management but is also a key tool for responding to constantly evolving information security risks. Through conformity with ISO 27001, businesses can build a comprehensive information security management system for preventing and responding to all kinds of information security risks. Recognizing the importance of information security, CIS and CWP established an Information Security Management Committee in August 2023, responsible for planning, promoting, and implementing the deployment and DevOps of information security management systems. Prevention, continuous monitoring, and emergency response were emphasized during the management planning, which passed the audit by TÜV Rheinland. Corporate resources are finite, making the prioritization of upgrades to key systems even more important. From account management, supply chain information flow, and hacker protection to building team consensus on system improvements -- TÜV Rheinland auditors helped CIS and CWP strengthen key aspects of their information security system, including virus protection, sensitive document management, and asset management. For businesses, preventing unauthorized access to and theft of critical data from production lines and supply chains are no less important than the optimization of production processes and improving efficiency. If trade secrets like production formulas are leaked, this may represent the loss of years of work. In today's highly digitized environment the manufacturing industry is coming under an increasing array of information security threats, including data leaks, ransomware attacks, and vulnerabilities in the supply chain. The proper protection of business data and information systems is not only critical to a company's interests, but also to the trust of stakeholders. Being properly prepared for preventing and responding to ransomware attacks facilitates the sharing of security data and leads to more opportunities for collaboration. Information security management is critical to ESG and plays a key role in corporate governance. TÜV Rheinland reminds businesses that ISO 27001 differs from other ISO 9001 management systems in that it requires constant monitoring and dynamic adjustment in response to external changes. The focus of other management systems is on improving stability. How to identify and mitigate the business impact of risks need to be clearly defined. For example, to what extent will a power outage impact a business, and what capacity is needed for an uninterruptible power system to mitigate the impact? All of these require a consensus to be built rather than the pursuit of 100% risk elimination. TÜV Rheinland has accumulated a wealth of experience in the information security management field and understands the requirements of enterprise information security regulations, and can therefore help businesses set up comprehensive processes and systems for risk prevention.]]>

<![CDATA[Comprehensive Banking Services to Meet the Diverse Needs of Hardworking Individuals HONG KONG, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hang Seng Bank ('Hang Seng') introduces the new PayDay+, offering an exceptional Hong Kong Dollar ('HKD') savings rate of up to 6% p.a. for customers who transfer their payroll accounts to the Bank. This exclusive service is further enhanced with special offers in travel, insurance, and investment for both customers who are new to the Bank's payroll accounts and existing customers, tailored to meet the diverse needs of hardworking individuals.  In an effort to better understand the lifestyle and financial habits of employed individuals in Hong Kong, Hang Seng surveyed nearly 500 working population aged 18-65. The survey revealed that almost 90% of respondents prioritise fund flexibility when seeking deposit benefits, and nearly 80% prefer flexible deposit options over higher-return, locked-in investment schemes. Additionally, most respondents are drawn to payroll accounts that offer higher savings rates, cash incentives, or other rewards. In response to these customer demands, Hang Seng has launched PayDay+, designed to cater to customers' needs by providing a comprehensive range of banking and wealth management services with payroll services. 1)  Income+: Enjoy up to 6% p.a. HKD Savings Rate and Exclusive Offers on Consumption, Insurance, and Wealth Management Services During the promotion period, customers who successfully switch to Hang Seng for payroll services can enjoy up to 6% p.a.

Special offers on the eIncomePro Deferred Annuity Plan are also available. Furthermore, they can take advantage of a SimplyFund Account with a $0 monthly account fee, along with a cash reward offer for stock buy trades for new securities customers. 2)  Travel+: Bank's Cost Price for exchanging JPY or EUR With the increasing demand for overseas travel, Hang Seng customers can exchange Japanese Yen or Euro at the "Bank's Cost Price" through the Hang Seng Mobile App or Hang Seng Personal e-Banking from now until 31 May 2024.

<title><![CDATA[CHINT LAUNCHES NEW LABEL AND EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ITS PRODUCTS IN VIETNAM]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[HO CHI MINH, Vietnam, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CHINT, a global leader in smart energy solutions, today announced two new initiatives in Vietnam to support the country's smart energy ecosystem. The company has launched a new product warranty label to help consumers identify authorized products better and extended its warranty program for locally authorized products to three years. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder3012"> <a href="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391787/image_1.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391787/image_1.jpg?p=medium600" title="CHINT's new product label indicating the extended 3-year warranty that will be rolled out in June 2024" alt="CHINT's new product label indicating the extended 3-year warranty that will be rolled out in June 2024" /></a> CHINT's new product label indicating the extended 3-year warranty that will be rolled out in June 2024 </div> Vietnam's rapidly growing economy is driving a surge in electricity demand. <a href="https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/vietnam-power-generation-transmission-and-distribution" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Institute of Energy of Vietnam (IEV)</a> warns that it will increase at a rate of 10-12% per year over the next decade. This rapid growth, one of the fastest in Asia, will challenge Vietnam's ability to secure enough energy sources. To resolve this challenge, Vietnam is actively developing a smart energy ecosystem. However, the prevalence of parallel imports can disrupt its progress. Parallel import products may bypass essential quality control procedures, increasing the risk of malfunctions, shorter lifespans, and even safety hazards. Additionally, parallel imports often lack warranty coverage and after-sales support, leaving buyers with limited assistance if the device fails. With the new warranty label, CHINT aims to empower local users with the ability to identify authorized products easily so as to get better peace of mind with the quality and durability of the products they use. This move reinforces CHINT's position as a trusted partner for Vietnam's smart energy future, promoting authorized products, customer safety, and commitment to after-sales service. "At CHINT, we prioritize user safety and satisfaction by fostering a robust authorized distributor network," says Kehao Zhuang, Country Manager (Vietnam), CHINT Global. "This strategic approach ensures customers receive genuine products that meet the highest quality and safety standards. It goes beyond simply selling products – it's about building trust and empowering informed choices. By partnering with authorized distributors, we create a win-win for customers, distributors, and CHINT, promoting a sustainable ecosystem built on quality and trust." CHINT has been operating in the Vietnamese market since 2005, supplying a comprehensive portfolio of electrical solutions via its strong network of distributors. This includes low-voltage products, power transmission and distribution equipment, new energy technologies, and electrical and control systems for buildings, factories, and apartment projects. In terms of the warranty, all five of CHINT's core product lines manufactured in 2024 will now have their warranty extended from 18 months to 3 years. They include Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs), Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs), Contactors, Thermal relays, and Residual Current Operated Circuit Breakers (RCBOs). Customers who purchased these CHINT products manufactured in 2022 or 2023 will also benefit from this extended coverage till the end of 2026. From June 2024, CHINT's new product warranty labels will clearly reflect this extended warranty coverage. The announcement was made at a partner event organized by CHINT in Vietnam. Apart from the updates, CHINT and its distributors explored emerging trends in smart energy solutions and discussed policy updates, commercial programs for authorized distributors and channel development plans. New product launches targeted towards the industrial and automation sectors were also showcased. These included industry-specific switches and sockets, pneumatic products, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), exrehigh current contactors, smart Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) for buildings, a new NBG series of MCBs specifically designed for Vietnam Electricity, and solutions for Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers and home energy storage systems. Mr Aaron Trung Tran, Marketing Director of NGO LONG AN Co., Ltd, one of CHINT Global's authorized distributors, added, "We are thrilled with CHINT's new product label initiative. It will enable Vietnamese customers to better identify CHINT's authorized products, empowering them to make the right choice from the beginning. This added layer of clarity will give our customers peace of mind, knowing that they have purchased high-quality solutions backed by a reliable warranty and after-sales support. We fully support this program and believe it will benefit the Vietnamese market in our transition towards smart energy." -END- About CHINT Global  CHINT Global, at the forefront of delivering smart energy solutions, operates in over 140 countries. Committed to innovation, sustainability, and the development of green and low-carbon technology, CHINT continues to explore new ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact, striving towards a brighter, greener future for all.

<title><![CDATA[Lingnan University hosts Presidential Panel Discussion at QS China Summit to discuss digital innovative influence on Chinese higher education]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[HONG KONG, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lingnan University has participated in the two-day QS China Summit 2024 from 17 to 18 A3pril in Shanghai to explore how universities can contribute to China's global leadership in higher education. The main theme of the summit is "Remaining Distinct in Global Higher Ed: China's Place in the New World of Education". As part of efforts to strengthen Lingnan's international visibility, the University hosted a President Panel Discussion titled "Fostering Distinction in Chinese Higher Education Through Digital Innovation". The Panel provided an exceptional platform for discussions on Chinese higher education within the rapidly evolving field of digital innovation. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1"> <a href="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391820/Photo_2.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391820/Photo_2.jpg?p=medium600" title="Prof S. Joe Qin, President and Wai Kee Kau Chair Professor of Data Science of Lingnan University, chairs the Presidential Panel Discussion." alt="Prof S. Joe Qin, President and Wai Kee Kau Chair Professor of Data Science of Lingnan University, chairs the Presidential Panel Discussion." /> </a> Prof S. Joe Qin, President and Wai Kee Kau Chair Professor of Data Science of Lingnan University, chairs the Presidential Panel Discussion. </div> During the Summit, Prof S. Joe Qin, President and Wai Kee Kau Chair Professor of Data Science of Lingnan University, shared Lingnan's encouraging results in the recent QS World University Rankings by Subject for 2024  - Lingnan University's Social Policy and Administration ranked 2nd in Hong Kong, 4th in the Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and 9th in Asia. Philosophy placed 3rd in Hong Kong and 12th in the Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. In addition, President Qin exemplified Lingnan's innovative approach to teaching and learning, highlighting that Lingnan was among Hong Kong's pioneers in providing access to ChatGPT for all students, faculty, and staff members on campus. Moreover, the University has introduced generative AI for all first-year students as one of the core courses in the 2024/25 academic year. This course covers topics including fundamental concepts of generative AI, methods for evaluation, and ethical considerations. Students without prior AI knowledge will acquire practical skills in implementing, critiquing, and refining generative models. President Qin said these AI initiatives showcase Lingnan's dedication to remaining at the forefront of educational advancements: "Lingnan's whole-person education model distinguishes it from most universities. By integrating the latest technology and pedagogy with our education model, we are equipping our students to excel in the digital era. While AI can handle many tasks, critical thinking remains irreplaceable. This is an area we aim to further develop, potentially contributing to the development of the Greater Bay Area. Lingnan can leverage this unique advantage to complement the mainland educational model, further fostering distinction in Chinese higher education." President Qin also chaired an insightful discussion. He was joined by a group of panellists from prestigious institutions including Prof Chen Zhi, President and Chair Professor of the Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College (UIC); Prof Zhang Dongxiao, Provost and Executive Vice President of the Eastern Institute of Technology; and Ms Alice Wei Wei, Senior Consultant at QS Quacquarelli Symonds. Together, they delved into how Chinese universities can leverage digital advancement, including artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and emerging technologies, to establish their unique position and stand out in the global educational arena. The discussion emphasised the need to develop of innovative digital learning environments, research opportunities, and strategic partnerships that showcase China's strengths in global education. Other participating experts also shared the latest developments in higher education in Mainland China. They discussed how universities enhance the quality of teaching and student learning experiences by integrating innovative technologies into education. The discussion concluded with an emphasis on the need for strengthened collaboration among universities in China. Such collaboration plays a vital role in elevating the position of Chinese higher education on the world stage through joint research and other academic partnerships.]]>

The players featured in this video happily enjoy the flavors of Paris Baguette's newest breads, adding an extra spark to their tasting adventure. The video opens with players savoring Paris Baguette treats at Parc Des Princes, the home stadium of Paris Saint-Germain. While the players initially gathered to celebrate a teammate's birthday, they were so captivatedby the delicious breads that they forgot the celebration. The five signature products from the ad will soon be available at Paris Baguette stores. The "Chaltteok Cream Bread," paired with Lee Kang-in, blends the chewy nature of Chaltteock (Glutinous rice cake), inspired by Gyeongdan (Sweet rice balls), with the airy sweetness of whipped cream, symbolizing the cultural rendezvous between Korea and France. The "Strawberry Tart," a dessert shaped like a crown of victory and adorn with fresh strawberries and a rich vanilla bean custard cream, is reminiscent of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The "Vanilla Flan Tart" represents Nuno Mendes, a delightful reinterpretation of Paris Baguette's popular French dessert, merging the essence of flan into a tart to signify defense with its sweet allure. The "Kouign-Amann," a traditional French pastry known for being crispy on the outside and moist inside, is a perfect match for the forward Ousmane Dembélé. Lastly, the "Onion Croque Monsieur," a classic French hot sandwich that brings together the delicious contrasts of sweet and savory with its mix of onions, ham, cheese, and béchamel sauce, impeccably mirrors Marco Asensio's versatile skills in both offensive and defensive gameplay. YeonJeong Kim, VP of Marketing at Paris Baguette stated, "This ad, as part of our global partnership with Paris Saint-Germain, is sure to bring joy to customers and fans worldwide." She further noted that "It holds significance in unfolding our global marketing strategy as the ad is released to reach global audiences across South Korea, the United States, France, and Southeast Asia for the first time". <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder2" align="center"> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CwxbDzQnDBI" frameborder="0">&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;</iframe> LET'S PARIS!

"To win emergency use authorization (EUA), we are planning basket clinical trials in such regions as Mid/South America and Southeast Asia." After the COVID-19 pandemic is tamed, a mounting number of people are diagnosed with Dengue fever, a viral infection that spreads through mosquitoes. The number of Dengue patients in 2024 amounts to 3.58 million in the Americas, about three times more than 2023, while those stand at about 8,200 in Thailand and 18,000 in Malaysia. Dengue deaths have been 758 in Brazil this year. The death toll exceeded 1,030 in Bangladesh last year. Against this backdrop, a host of countries in the Americas and Asia declared a public health emergency due to Dengue. However, there is currently no treatment for Dengue fever, which was first confirmed in 1953. During the past 70 years, the world has failed to develop Dengue drugs because of the following two reasons. First, the drug needs to be effective on all four serotypes of Dengue virus (DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, and DENV4). The four Dengue serotypes are different in their genomes and may show differing clinical symptoms after infection. Those who recover from an infection with one Dengue serotype have immunity against that particular one only, and they can be infected with any of the remaining three Dengue serotypes. Worse, subsequent Dengue infections have a higher risk to result in severe Dengue such as Dengue hemorrhagic fever. Second, Dengue antiviral should be administered in the early stages to properly deal with the Dengue virus. Dengue symptoms typically occur 4 to 10 days after infection. The Dengue virus quickly surges to the highest level in 2 to 4 days from the symptom onset, causing severe cellular damage along with such potential complications as hemorrhage and thrombocytopenia. Symptoms of Dengue fever are similar to those generated by other mosquito-borne Zika and Chikungunya viruses. As it takes time to diagnose Dengue infection in addition to the symptom onset, patients may suffer from severe cellular damage even after they are treated. Hence, a broad-spectrum antiviral drug effective on all such mosquito-borne viruses is necessary to treat Dengue fever and similar mosquito-borne illnesses. Hyundai Bioscience has come up with a fundamental way to tackle the difficulties in developing the Dengue drug. Hyundai Bioscience has succeeded in re-purposing niclosamide, which has been proven to have antiviral efficacy against four serotypes of dengue virus through past in vitro studies. Despite niclosamide's broad-spectrum antiviral activity, researchers failed to develop niclosamide-based antivirals due to its low absorption and short half-life. Yet, Hyundai Bioscience tackled the challenges with bio-friendly inorganic substances and polymers based on its proprietary drug delivery system (DDS) technology. Hyundai Bioscience proved through a clinical test that a niclosamide-based drug, called Xafty®, can safely and effectively treat COVID-19 by shortening the time required to improve COVID-19 symptoms. In vitro studies showed that niclosamide had antiviral effects against not only four serotypes of Dengue fever but also Zika and Chikungunya viruses. Recently, Hyundai Bioscience completed the development of a niclosamide-based formulation to treat Dengue fever with a drug concentration level at or above 50% viral inhibition (IC50), which can also work on Zika, Chikungunya, and Yellow fever viruses. With the new drug, patients with Dengue fever symptoms can be treated early without having to verify whether they are caused by the Dengue virus or other mosquito-borne ones. Such early treatment can also prevent the Dengue viral load from reaching the peak, thus helping patients recover. In the near future, Hyundai Bioscience plans to initiate clinical studies in America and Southeast Asia with the aim of emergency use authorization. Candidate countries in the Americas are Puerto Rico and Brazil while those in Asia are Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam. As niclosamide was proven to be effective in all serotypes of Dengue fever, and the niclosamide-based drug showed its safety through pre-clinical and clinical studies, prompt later-stage clinical development of the Dengue antiviral is possible to receive emergency use authorization. In particular, Hyundai Bioscience plans to design basket clinical trials to test not only patients of the four Dengue virus serotypes but also those infected with other mosquito-borne viruses, including Zika, and Chikungunya. "The success of our future clinical study may lead to emergency use authorization as the world's first Dengue antiviral," Hyundai Bioscience USA CEO Kim Kyung-il said. "That means that the world will have the first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral drug just like penicillin, which can deal with various bacteria at the same time." About Hyundai Bioscience Hyundai Bioscience is a biotechnology company that develops drugs based on its novel drug delivery system technologies to deliver active ingredients safely and efficiently to targeted areas of the human body. Founded in 2000, Hyundai Bioscience focuses on repurposing or expanding indications of existing drugs using its proprietary organic-inorganic hybrid technologies.

<description>
<![CDATA[Data from Infobip shows impact of conversational customer experiences and GenAI in 2023 KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- New research from global cloud communications platform <a href="https://www.infobip.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Infobip</a> reveals how conversational customer experiences and generative AI developments have created a long-lasting impact for how people and brands interact. Infobip analyzed more than 473 billion digital communications interactions on its platform in 2023 between businesses and consumers to identify the latest global business messaging trends. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1"> <a href="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391192/Infobip_Messaging_Trends_2024.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2391192/Infobip_Messaging_Trends_2024.jpg?p=medium600" title="Infobip Messaging Trends 2024" alt="Infobip Messaging Trends 2024" /> </a> Infobip Messaging Trends 2024 </div> As consumers look for a deeper connection with the brands they buy from, the conversational messaging channels are seeing the fastest growth. In 2023, Infobip recorded a 137% increase in mobile app messages compared to 2022, a 73% rise in social media messages, and a 63% increase in chat app messages. Conversational experiences are increasing throughout the customer journey, whether for marketing, commerce, or support. Conversational support  Whether a person is dealing with a human agent, a chatbot, or a combination of the two, conversational support provides an effective, efficient, and positive experience. WhatsApp remains the primary channel brands use for conversational support, where businesses send 90% of support messages over the chat app. However, brands are beginning to diversify their channel mix, leveraging chat apps in specific regions. For instance, Infobip has recorded increases of 541%, 146%, and 284% in Messenger, Viber, and Line, respectively. Brands are now using conversational AI to provide personalized customer service and support. For instance, <a href="https://www.infobip.com/customer/megi-health-platform" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Megi Health Platform</a> uses a virtual assistant on WhatsApp to help improve the patient experience. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.infobip.com/customer/laqo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">insurance firm LAQO</a> uses our Azure OpenAI partnership to provide a fast, 24/7 and personal service. Conversational marketing The two-way exchange of information is the basis for conversational marketing, and brands are ramping up their efforts to meet customers on the channels they use with their family and friends. Overall, the data shows a 29% increase in mobile app messaging for marketing in 2023 compared to 2022. WhatsApp remains the top digital channel for conversational marketing in absolute numbers, driven by new features that enable customers to start and complete a purchase in a single WhatsApp chat window. Infobip is also seeing significant increases in other messaging apps such as Telegram, Line, Viber, and Messenger. More specifically, WhatsApp messages increased by 421% in Asia Pacific in 2023, while mobile app messaging increased by 146% in the Middle East and North Africa and by 18 times in North America. Meanwhile, RCS Business Messaging is an emerging channel for conversational marketing. Ivan Ostojić, Chief Business Officer at Infobip, said: "Our data shows how conversational experiences are rapidly spreading across the globe as businesses roll out marketing, sales, and support use cases. Where 2022 revealed a spike in omnichannel adoption when brands recognized the importance of connecting with their customers on their preferred channel, 2023 shows how brands are perfecting the end-to-end customer journey. Customers can now seamlessly progress through a journey within a single conversational thread on a chat app or RCS. With the emergence of interactive AI, we expect brands to incorporate a federation of different chatbots and AI algorithms working together to trigger actions at the ideal points during the customer journey. In the next year, we foresee the widespread adoption in customer service, marketing and sale automation, and for operational use cases like scheduling deliveries and managing payments." Regional difference With brands adopting conversational experiences globally, there are some regional differences: <ul type="disc"> <li>Africa: conversational channels gain traction with social media messages increasing nearly 2.5 times</li> <li>Asia Pacific: strong growth in mobile app messaging, with WhatsApp increasing by four times</li> <li>Europe: rapid growth for RCS, as interactions increase by 11 times</li> <li>Latin America: strong growth in mobile app messaging, with Viber increasing by more than 2.5 times</li> <li>Middle East North Africa: rapid adoption of conversational channels, as voice and video interactions double</li> <li>North America: exponential growth in rich messaging, with RCS interactions increasing by 50 times</li> </ul> The changing role of SMS Infobip's data from 2023 shows that SMS remains an important channel for business communication, but usage is changing where SMS is now being used alongside chat apps. Across all industries, brands most commonly use SMS with WhatsApp, with 25% of businesses choosing this combination. Moreover, where businesses and brands use two channels, SMS is one of the two options in 63% of cases.

<title><![CDATA[Global clinical development on Dengue antiviral candidate will start, Hyundai Bioscience strives to win emergency use authorization]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<table border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="5" align="right"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img title="logo" src="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2246382/Logo_Logo.jpg?p=medium600" alt="" width="118" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> SEOUL, South Korea, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- South Korea's biotechnology company Hyundai Bioscience (CEO Oh Sang-gi, <a href="http://www.hyundaibioscience.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.hyundaibioscience.com</a>) announced on April 15 that it would carry out global clinical tests aimed at treating all serotypes of Dengue virus infection. <div id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1" class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference"> </div> "The fundamental way to deal with Dengue fever is taking the antiviral drug, which is effective on all four serotypes of the Dengue virus, in the early stage of virus infection," CEO Oh said. "To win emergency use authorization (EUA), we are planning basket clinical trials in such regions as Mid/South America and Southeast Asia." After the COVID-19 pandemic is tamed, a mounting number of people are diagnosed with Dengue fever, a viral infection that spreads through mosquitoes. The number of Dengue patients in 2024 amounts to 3.58 million in the Americas, about three times more than 2023, while those stand at about 8,200 in Thailand and 18,000 in Malaysia. Dengue deaths have been 758 in Brazil this year. The death toll exceeded 1,030 in Bangladesh last year. Against this backdrop, a host of countries in the Americas and Asia declared a public health emergency due to Dengue. However, there is currently no treatment for Dengue fever, which was first confirmed in 1953. During the past 70 years, the world has failed to develop Dengue drugs because of the following two reasons. First, the drug needs to be effective on all four serotypes of Dengue virus (DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, and DENV4). The four Dengue serotypes are different in their genomes and may show differing clinical symptoms after infection. Those who recover from an infection with one Dengue serotype have immunity against that particular one only, and they can be infected with any of the remaining three Dengue serotypes. Worse, subsequent Dengue infections have a higher risk to result in severe Dengue such as Dengue hemorrhagic fever. Second, Dengue antiviral should be administered in the early stages to properly deal with the Dengue virus. Dengue symptoms typically occur 4 to 10 days after infection. The Dengue virus quickly surges to the highest level in 2 to 4 days from the symptom onset, causing severe cellular damage along with such potential complications as hemorrhage and thrombocytopenia. Symptoms of Dengue fever are similar to those generated by other mosquito-borne Zika and Chikungunya viruses. As it takes time to diagnose Dengue infection in addition to the symptom onset, patients may suffer from severe cellular damage even after they are treated. Hence, a broad-spectrum antiviral drug effective on all such mosquito-borne viruses is necessary to treat Dengue fever and similar mosquito-borne illnesses. Hyundai Bioscience has come up with a fundamental way to tackle the difficulties in developing the Dengue drug. Hyundai Bioscience has succeeded in re-purposing niclosamide, which has been proven to have antiviral efficacy against four serotypes of dengue virus through past in vitro studies. Despite niclosamide's broad-spectrum antiviral activity, researchers failed to develop niclosamide-based antivirals due to its low absorption and short half-life. Yet, Hyundai Bioscience tackled the challenges with bio-friendly inorganic substances and polymers based on its proprietary drug delivery system (DDS) technology. Hyundai Bioscience proved through a clinical test that a niclosamide-based drug, called Xafty®, can safely and effectively treat COVID-19 by shortening the time required to improve COVID-19 symptoms. In vitro studies showed that niclosamide had antiviral effects against not only four serotypes of Dengue fever but also Zika and Chikungunya viruses. Recently, Hyundai Bioscience completed the development of a niclosamide-based formulation to treat Dengue fever with a drug concentration level at or above 50% viral inhibition (IC50), which can also work on Zika, Chikungunya, and Yellow fever viruses. With the new drug, patients with Dengue fever symptoms can be treated early without having to verify whether they are caused by the Dengue virus or other mosquito-borne ones. Such early treatment can also prevent the Dengue viral load from reaching the peak, thus helping patients recover. In the near future, Hyundai Bioscience plans to initiate clinical studies in America and Southeast Asia with the aim of emergency use authorization. Candidate countries in the Americas are Puerto Rico and Brazil while those in Asia are Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam. As niclosamide was proven to be effective in all serotypes of Dengue fever, and the niclosamide-based drug showed its safety through pre-clinical and clinical studies, prompt later-stage clinical development of the Dengue antiviral is possible to receive emergency use authorization. In particular, Hyundai Bioscience plans to design basket clinical trials to test not only patients of the four Dengue virus serotypes but also those infected with other mosquito-borne viruses, including Zika, and Chikungunya. "The success of our future clinical study may lead to emergency use authorization as the world's first Dengue antiviral," Hyundai Bioscience USA CEO Kim Kyung-il said. "That means that the world will have the first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral drug just like penicillin, which can deal with various bacteria at the same time." About Hyundai Bioscience Hyundai Bioscience is a biotechnology company that develops drugs based on its novel drug delivery system technologies to deliver active ingredients safely and efficiently to targeted areas of the human body. Founded in 2000, Hyundai Bioscience focuses on repurposing or expanding indications of existing drugs using its proprietary organic-inorganic hybrid technologies.

<title><![CDATA[Tianliculum: Customizing Your Educational "Menu"]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<table name="logo_release" border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="5" align="right"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img src="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2311018/LOGO_of_TIANLI_international_Logo.jpg?p=medium600" border="0" alt="" title="logo" hspace="0" vspace="0" width="118" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> HONG KONG, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 29, the "Education, Technology, and Talents" 2024 Science Education Innovation and Integrated Development Forum was held in Chengdu. Hosted by Tianli Education Group, the forum gathered numerous authoritative experts and scholars from various industries to jointly discuss the frontiers of scientific education. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1"> </div> At the forum, scholars from Tianli Education shared the construction of the Tianliculum system, which centers on scientific literacy. Currently, Tianli Education has established an educational objective system centered on scientific literacy and is actively engaged in the construction, implementation, and evaluation of the Tianliculum system . Overview of the Tianliculum The Tianliculum comprises four major programs: Tianliculum Preschool Program (TPP), Tianliculum Elementary Program (TEP), Tianliculum Junior Program (TJP), and Tianliculum Synergized Program (TSP). These programs cover various educational stages from kindergarten to junior school, including innovative international course projects from primary to high school. Each program is akin to a carefully crafted dish, designed to meet the differentiated educational needs of students of different ages. Cultivating Core Competencies The core of the Tianliculum lies in the cultivation of "Tianli Seven Competencies," namely, Physical Fitness, Resolute Mind, Ethical Morality, Academic Success, Action Oriented, Creative Thinking and Social Service. These core competencies, like the essence of a dish, permeate every course and activity, ensuring that each student excels not only academically but also in their specialties and overall qualities. Courses as Dishes In this "educational restaurant," national compulsory courses such as Chinese, mathematics, and English constitute the "main dishes," forming the focus of students' daily studies. Moral education is served as the "staple food," providing a solid foundation for students' comprehensive development. Large-scale activities are like "hard dishes," enhancing students' practical abilities and team collaboration through diverse and enriching courses that promote comprehensive literacy. The learning environment, akin to elegant tableware, provides a comfortable atmosphere for students to learn. The daily schedule and learning process are like the serving order, ensuring that each part proceeds in an orderly manner. Customizing the Educational Menu A significant feature of the Tianliculum is its customizability. Depending on the specific needs of each school and the individual circumstances of students, educators can flexibly combine these course "dishes" to create the most suitable teaching menu. This ensures that regardless of whether a school wishes to emphasize academic achievement, specialty training, or quality education, the Tianliculum can provide a comprehensive and balanced solution. In summary, the Tianliculum is like a high-end customized educational restaurant that can offer the most suitable "combination of dishes" based on different educational needs and student situations. Here, every student can receive the most suitable educational nutrition, achieving excellent academic results while also exhibiting their unique talents and noble characters in various aspects.]]>

<title><![CDATA[LinkShadow is positioned as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Network Detection and Response (NDR)]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ATHENS, Georgia, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LinkShadow, a global leader in intelligent Network Detection and Response (NDR) has been recognized in the Gartner 2024 Market Guide for NDR solution. This insightful Gartner Report elaborates on how NDR can amplify infrastructure security by seamlessly integrating with various technologies such as SOAR, SIEM, EDR, MDR and numerous others. <div id="prni_dvprnejpgae54left" dir="ltr" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%"> <a href="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2390905/LinkShadow.jpg?p=medium600" target="_blank"><img id="prnejpgae54left" title="LinkShadow is positioned as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Network Detection and Response (NDR)" src="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2390905/LinkShadow.jpg?p=medium600" alt="LinkShadow is positioned as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Network Detection and Response (NDR)" align="middle" /></a> LinkShadow is positioned as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Network Detection and Response (NDR) </div>   As per Gartner, "The network detection and response market continues to grow and expand to hybrid network scenarios with IaaS deployment. Security and risk management leaders should reprioritize NDR as a key provider of AI analytics in the context of more automated security operations assistants."  Gartner also recommends that "enterprises should strongly consider NDR solutions to complement signature-based network security tools and network sandboxes. Many Gartner clients have reported that NDR tools have detected suspicious network traffic that other perimeter security tools had missed." Commenting on this, Fadi Sharaf, Regional Sales Director, LinkShadow, said: "We believe this Gartner recognition strengthens LinkShadow's positioning in the NDR domain. Our aim is to extend the robust LinkShadow NDR capability to enterprises and empower them to stay ahead of the threat curve, taking a proactive approach to safeguard their sensitive assets." According to Gartner, "Despite strong competition from other platforms, NDR global market revenue continues to grow double digit, registering an increase of 19% for the period 1Q23 through 3Q23, year over year. When the NDR market was nascent, it was composed of a mix of pure-play startups and network monitoring companies expanding to security use cases. As the market grows, it is attracting more and more large platform providers." Gartner Key Findings: <ul type="disc"> <li>Network detection and response (NDR) is commonly used as a complementary detection and response technology as part of a broader arsenal of security operations center (SOC) tools.</li> <li>The emergence of "AI-augmented" analytics overlays, in the form of SOC assistants, will benefit the NDR market as a useful source of insights for aggregated and summarized views.</li> <li>A handful of NDR vendors capture most of the attention in the market. Higher maturity organizations, often with more specialized detection use cases, often mix these well-known vendors with emerging local players in their shortlists.</li> <li>Most organizations value the response capabilities during their NDR provide evaluations, but only deploy very narrowly automated responses past the pilot phase.</li> </ul> Gartner Recommendations: <ul type="disc"> <li>Start small. Implement NDR to detect abnormal behaviors and provide investigation capabilities for post breach activity, extending incrementally across different types of networks.</li> <li>Identify how NDR's behavior-based detections, once tuned, might augment your SOCability to respond to incidents faster and more accurately.</li> <li>Compare NDR vendors by defining rationalized metrics and evaluating how these NDR tools positively impact threat detection and incident response.</li> <li>Roll out automated response progressively, based on your existing incident response SLA for the type of incident and on the false positive rate of the detection engines.</li> </ul> For more interesting details on the Gartner Report: <a href="https://www.linkshadow.com/LinkShadow-as-a-Representative-Vendor-in-2024-Gartner-Market-Guide-for-Network-Detection-and-Response" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkshadow.com/LinkShadow-as-a-Representative-Vendor-in-2024-Gartner-Market-Guide-for-Network-Detection-and-Response</a>.

<title><![CDATA[SK hynix Partners with TSMC to Strengthen HBM Technological Leadership]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<ul type="disc"> <li>SK hynix and TSMC sign MOU to collaborate on HBM4 development and next-generation packaging technology</li> <li>SK hynix will adopt TSMC's cutting-edge foundry process to advance HBM4 performance</li> <li>Product Design-Foundry-Memory trilateral collaboration to break memory performance limits for AI applications</li> </ul> SEOUL, South Korea, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SK hynix Inc. (or "the company", <a href="http://www.skhynix.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.skhynix.com</a>) announced today that it has recently signed a memorandum of understanding with TSMC for collaboration to produce next-generation HBM and enhance logic and HBM integration through advanced packaging technology. The company plans to proceed with the development of HBM4, or the sixth generation of the HBM family, slated to be mass produced from 2026, through this initiative. SK hynix said the collaboration between the global leader in the AI memory space and TSMC, a top global logic foundry, will lead to more innovations in HBM technology. The collaboration is also expected to enable breakthroughs in memory performance through trilateral collaboration between product design, foundry, and memory provider. The two companies will first focus on improving the performance of the base die that is mounted at the very bottom of the HBM package. HBM is made by stacking a core DRAM die on top of a base die that features TSV* technology, and vertically connecting a fixed number of layers in the DRAM stack to the core die with TSV into an HBM package. The base die located at the bottom is connected to the GPU, which controls the HBM. *TSV (Through Silicon Via): An interconnect technology that links upper and lower chips with an electrode that vertically passes through the base logic chip and DRAM chips. There can be thousands of pass-through TSVs depending on the chip design SK hynix has used a proprietary technology to make base dies up to HBM3E, but plans to adopt TSMC's advanced logic process for HBM4's base die so additional functionality can be packed into limited space. That also helps SK hynix produce customized HBM that meets a wide range of customer demand for performance and power efficiency. SK hynix and TSMC also agreed to collaborate to optimize the integration of SK hynix's HBM and TSMC's CoWoS®** technology, while cooperating in responding to common customers' requests related to HBM. **CoWoS (Chip on Wafer on Substrate): A TSMC proprietary packaging process that connects GPU/xPU, a logic chip, and HBM, on a special substrate called an interposer. It is also called 2.5D packaging as the logic chip and the vertically stacked(3D) HBM are integrated into one module which is placed on a horizontal (2D) package substrate "We expect a strong partnership with TSMC to help accelerate our efforts for open collaboration with our customers and develop the industry's best-performing HBM4," said Justin Kim, President and the Head of AI Infra, at SK hynix. "With this cooperation in place, we will strengthen our market leadership as the total AI memory provider further by beefing up competitiveness in the space of the custom memory platform." "TSMC and SK hynix have already established a strong partnership over the years. We've worked together in integrating the most advanced logic and state-of-the art HBM in providing the world's leading AI solutions," said Dr. Kevin Zhang, Senior Vice President of TSMC's Business Development and Overseas Operations Office, and Deputy Co-Chief Operating Officer. "Looking ahead to the next-generation HBM4, we're confident that we will continue to work closely in delivering the best-integrated solutions to unlock new AI innovations for our common customers."

The three companies introduced this product after a year of collaboration. SK chemicals is the supplier of 100% bio-based polyol "ECOTRION," while Dongsung Chemical develops the bio-polyurethane resin "NEOPAN®" for footwear using this as a raw material. Utilizing this material, Black Yak produced the "Foot Pillow Cushioning Foam," which is applied to the heel support layer of the midsole to minimize loading on the ankle and knee joints. The midsole of trekking shoes is a key component that determines the footwear's weight and acts like a car's suspension to provide the level of function. Cushioning is important because the midsole must absorb the impact on the body and ensure safe strides, even on rough terrain. Dongsung Chemical's bio-polyurethane resin "NEOPAN" for footwear maintains the high elasticity and flexibility of existing polyurethane resins while using bio-based raw materials, providing the shock absorption function of the "Foot Pillow Cushioning Foam." ECOTRION, utilized in NEOPAN, is an eco-friendly material that uses raw materials that reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 40% in comparison to conventional petrochemical raw materials. It is utilized in the production of spandex, artificial leather, and urethane elastic materials that are challenging to recycle. ECOTRION has one less carbon atom in its chemical structure compared to petrochemical materials, which gives it a helical-shaped polymer structure that enables the production of products with high elastic resilience, similar to a spring. Kim Eung-soo, Head of SK chemicals' Green Materials Business Division, stated, "Bio-materials, along with recycled plastics, are one of the promising alternatives to replace petrochemical materials. We plan to actively highlight the sustainability and functionality of PO3G, focusing on big brands that are leading the sustainable trend with bio-materials." <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder0"> </div>]]>

As part of the operation, Group-IB also conducted an extensive analysis of LabHost's criminal history and infrastructure, including insights into LabHost's administrative platform and the services it provides to its purported user base which exceeds 2,000 subscribers worldwide, who illegally obtained around 480,000 card numbers, 64,000 pin numbers, and over 1 million passwords from victims used for websites and other online services, according to law enforcement agencies. "By leveraging our Threat Intelligence and Digital Risk Protection, we are able to identify and monitor phishing attacks and websites like those deployed by LabHost and its subscribers around the world, enabling us to actively alert and protect our customers, and in turn, their customers as well," said Dmitry Volkov, Chief Executive Officer of Group-IB.

ODENSE, Denmark, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Robots (UR), the world's leading collaborative robot (cobot) company, has now integrated the <a href="https://www.profibus.com/technologies/robotics-srci" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Standard Robot Command Interface (SRCI)</a> into its software. UR is proud to be among the first cobot vendors to offer this functionality. The SRCI is a new standard for robotics manufacturers that aims to create a single interface between PLCs and robots. The full integration of SRCI into UR's software will enhance the connectivity capabilities of UR's cobots and will ensure customers a frictionless integration with Siemens PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), since Siemens is the first - and currently only - PLC Vendor supporting SRCI in the automation market. "By having our robots connect seamlessly to a global industry leader like Siemens, we can now offer our partners and customers, both existing and prospective, faster integration and higher ease of use," says Global Director, Strategic Partnerships at Universal Robots, Daniel Friedman. "We strive to make cobot automation as simple as possible for our customers and this is yet another step in our commitment to provide automation for anyone, anywhere." The uniform cross-manufacturer data interface of the SRCI makes robot implementation interoperable, and it standardizes definitions and robot commands between UR cobots and Siemens PLCs. This allows for easier and quicker setup and simplifies the deployment of UR robots into existing and new Siemens ecosystem-based production lines. "We are encouraged that cobots from Universal Robots can now be controlled via the SRCI and can be programmed by Simatic users," says Rolf Heinsohn, Senior Vice President, Factory Automation Segment Control at Siemens. "We want to accelerate Factory Automation and scale the use of robots in industry by making them simple and available to all our customers` employees. It is a great advantage for our customers to be able to easily integrate and use UR's robots together with the Siemens PLCs in their production." The SRCI is available for UR's e-Series family and the next-generation robots UR20 and UR30. It can be installed and activated with PolyScope version 5.15 or higher via add-on URcap software.
