MALANG, E. JAVA, Indonesia, June 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A research team from Brawijaya University (UB) has identified two new microalgae genera in the waters around Bawean Island, Gresik Regency, East Java, and Tomini Bay, Central Sulawesi.Lecturer of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) Oktiyas Muzaky Luthfi, S.T., M.Sc. while conducting research on an object. (ANTARA/HO-Humas Universitas Brawijaya)"The newly identified microalgae genera are Paracatenula and Wallaceago," head of the research team and lecturer at UB’s Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Oktiyas Muzaky Luthfi stated in Malang, East Java, on Friday.The genus name Wallaceago was chosen to honor Alfred Russel Wallace -- a renowned naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, and expert on species distribution.Each of the two new genera also includes newly identified species: Paracatenula porostriata and Wallaceago porostriatus.Discovered near Bawean Island, Paracatenula porostriata is characterized by a circular shell structure with small pores and a flat valve.Meanwhile, Wallaceago porostriatus, found in Tomini Bay, has valves that are partially diamond-shaped with fine lines on the lower surface.These discoveries have already been published in an international scientific journal.In addition to Paracatenula and Wallaceago, the UB team also identified several new species within the genera Catenula and Catenulopsis.According to a summary of the published journal, four new species were found in the genus Catenula: Catenula boyanensis, Catenula komodensis, Catenula decusa, and Catenula densestriata.These species were discovered in Bawean Island, Tiga Warna Beach in Malang, East Java, and Tomini Bay, Central Sulawesi.One more species identified under the genus Catenulopsis was named Catenulopsis baweana."We discovered it in Bawean, which is why it is named baweana," Luthfi explained.The research and identification process took place from 2021 to 2024, using both light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphological analysis.Researchers explored the diversity of diatoms from sediment and fragments of dead coral in reef environments.The study involved collaboration with several universities from different countries, including the University of Szczecin and the University of Rzeszów in Poland, as well as the University of Michigan in the United States.Luthfi emphasized that the discovery is important for sustaining life on Earth, as microalgae not only form the foundation of the food chain but also play a vital role in oxygen production."Microalgae are responsible for generating 20 percent of the Earth’s oxygen," he noted.He remarked that this discovery provides a foundation for monitoring marine environments, studying tropical aquatic ecology, and conducting paleoecological research."This proves that Indonesia’s oceans harbor an abundance of microscopic life that we have yet to fully understand," he concluded.For more information please click: https://ub.ac.idBrawijaya University: https://prasetya.ub.ac.idEditor : A Malik Ibrahim, Copyright (c) ANTARA 2025 Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

上海，2025年6月23日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 華領醫藥（"公司"，香港聯交所股份代號：2552.HK）今天宣佈，第85屆美國糖尿病協會（ADA）科學年會上，公司展示了其全球首創新藥葡萄糖激酶激活劑（GKA）多格列艾汀（dorzagliatin）的最新研究成果。一項基礎動物研究表明，多格列艾汀聯合DPP-4抑制劑西格列汀（Sitagliptin）使用可以改善血糖水平、促進胰島素分泌、增強GLP-1分泌等，效果優於多格列艾汀單獨用藥。血液生化分析則顯示，聯合用藥對於降低血脂（特別是LDL）有潛在獲益（見圖1）。多格列艾汀是華領醫藥自主研發的全球首創葡萄糖激酶激活劑，通過修復2型糖尿病患者受損的葡萄糖激酶（GK）功能和表達，提升2型糖尿病患者的葡萄糖敏感性，從而改善患者血糖穩態失調。西格列汀（Sitagliptin）是一款DPP-4抑制劑類降糖藥，通過抑制GLP-1降解改善血糖控制。該研究旨在評估兩藥聯用長期治療對高脂飲食誘導肥胖/糖尿病(DIO)小鼠葡萄糖穩態的影響，為臨床聯合用藥提供依據。研究對於DIO小鼠模型分別給予30 mg/kg/天的多格列艾汀單藥或聯合20 mg/kg/天的西格列汀治療30天，以標準飲食小鼠作為對照。治療30天后，小鼠血糖水平較治療前顯著改善，且聯合用藥治療效果優於單獨用藥。多格列艾汀單獨用藥可促進胰島素和GLP-1的分泌，聯合用藥進一步增強了這一效應。血液生化指標分析則顯示，藥物治療顯著改善了DIO小鼠的糖化血清蛋白（GSP），聯合治療還改善了低密度脂蛋白（LDL）水平。低密度脂蛋白將膽固醇運送至動脈，過量的低密度脂蛋白會造成動脈硬化、心肌梗塞、中風及周圍動脈疾病等。這一結果表明，聯合用藥在恢復血糖穩態的同時，對於降低血脂（特別是LDL）有潛在獲益，為臨床用藥和新適應症的拓展探索了可能性。（圖1 血液生化指標 2025 ADA 893-P）另一項研究者發起的真實世界研究也在ADA年會上進行了展示。該研究是一項單中心前瞻性觀察性研究，旨在評估多格列艾汀在2型糖尿病患者中的短期療效及機制。中期分析顯示，患者的糖化血紅蛋白（HbA1c）水平顯著降低，連續血糖監測（CGM）指標改善，β細胞功能指標分析提示β細胞的胰島素分泌功能得到保護(見圖2)。重點分析資料如下：HbA1c：- 治療3個月後，從基線水平8.1±1.2%顯著降至7.3±1.1%，6個月時維持該水平（均p

Shanghai, Jun 23, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hua Medicine ("the Company", stock code: 2552.HK) announced today that the Company presented the latest research results of dorzagliatin, its global first-in-class glucokinase activator (GKA), at the 85th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). A preclinical animal study showed that the combination of dorzagliatin and sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, improves blood glucose levels, promotes insulin secretion, and enhances GLP-1 secretion. The combination therapy was more effective than dorzagliatin alone. The blood chemistry analysis further indicates that the combination therapy has potential benefits for lipid lowering (especially LDL) (See Figure 1).Dorzagliatin is the world's first glucokinase activator independently developed by Hua Medicine, aiming to restore the imbalanced blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes by repairing the impaired function and expression of glucokinase and enhancing glucose sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. Sitagliptin, a DPP4 inhibitor, improves glucose control by blocking degradation of GLP-1. This study aims to assess the impact of long-term administration of dorzagliatin and the combination of dorzagliatin/sitagliptin on glucose homeostasis in high-fat diet-induced obesity/diabetes (DIO) mice.In the study, the DIO mice were administered dorzagliatin at a dosage of 30 mg/Kg/day, or a combination of dorzagliatin (same dose) and sitagliptin (20mg/Kg/day) for 30 days. Mice on a standard diet served as controls. On day 30, the glucose levels were all reduced compared to pre-treatment, and the combination therapy was more effective than dorzagliatin alone. Dorzagliatin monotherapy promoted insulin and GLP-1 secretion, and the combination resulted in a further increase.Blood biochemical analysis showed that drug treatment significantly improved glycated serum protein (GSP) in DIO mice. Combination therapy also improved low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. LDL transports cholesterol to arteries, and excessive LDL can cause arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral arterial diseases. These results suggest that combination therapy has potential benefits reducing blood lipids (especially LDL) while restoring glucose homeostasis, exploring possibilities for clinical medication and new indication expansion. Figure 1 Blood Biochemical 2025 ADA 893-PAnother investigator-initiated real-world study was also presented at the ADA conference. This single-center prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the short-term efficacy and underlying mechanisms of dorzagliatin in T2DM patients. Interim analysis showed significant reductions in HbA1c levels, improvements in continuous glucose monitoring parameters, and protection of β-cell insulin secretion capacity as indicated by β-cell function indices (See Figure 2). The key analysis data are as follows:HbA1c- decreased significantly from 8.1±1.2% at baseline to 7.3±1.1% at 3 months- sustained the reduction to 7.3±1.1% at 6 months (both p

Mixing two or three alkyl-π liquids can achieve the right combination of functions for soft electronics.TSUKUBA, Japan, June 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Soft electronics are an exciting and innovative class of technology that brings together bendable, stretchable semiconducting materials for applications in areas ranging from fashion to healthcare. Researchers have recently developed a new technique to adjust the properties of liquids that could be used to create soft electronics.Researchers successfully blended various combinations and proportions of three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, with no color variation within the material showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly. Credit: Image is reproducible by CC-BY license. Please credit the STAM Journal.Room-temperature alkylated-π molecular liquids (known as alkyl-π liquids) are an exciting new material that holds great promise for soft electronics. However, one challenge with these fascinating liquids lies in fine-tuning their physical, chemical, and electronic properties – including their ability to interact with light – to achieve the desired functionality.A new study, led by researchers from the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan, has explored a strategy for blending together alkyl-π liquids to merge their functions homogeneously. The researchers used photoluminescent color tuning to demonstrate how well the process has worked. Their findings have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.Previous efforts to control the properties of alkyl-π liquids have taken one of two approaches. The first involves incorporating small amounts of other molecules, such as dyes, into the liquid. “When modulating function by adding solid dopants, the dopant molecules have poor solubility, leading to insoluble aggregates and inconsistencies in properties such as luminescent color,” says Dr. Takashi Nakanishi of the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics at NIMS.The second approach involves chemically modifying the alkyl-π liquids. While this can achieve a uniform result, designing and synthesising entirely new molecules is difficult and less time- and cost-effective.In the new study, researchers synthesised three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, and then they blended the liquids together in varying proportions. They successfully created a range of homogeneous liquid blends of colors with no color variation within the material, showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly.The team also assessed how well the two liquids had mixed by changing the temperature and studying how the flow of the mixed liquids changed over time at different temperatures. This approach further confirmed that the liquids were successfully blended together.“The liquid–liquid blending method implemented in this study for alkyl-π liquids facilitates the production of low-volatility, ink-like materials that exhibit a diverse spectrum of uniform luminescent colors, devoid of any color unevenness,” Dr. Nakanishi says. “This means it will be possible to apply or coat the desired function with simple operations such as painting, sandwiching, or soaking the liquid materials wherever needed.”The research opens the path to blending alkyl-π liquids to vary other functions, such as photoconductivity, charge retention, or gas sensing.Further informationTakashi NakanishiNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nakanishi.takashi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2025.2515007About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM Dr. Kazuya SaitoSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

Moscow, Russia, 2025年6月21日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 6月18日，基於俄羅斯國家中心開放對話成果的「塑造全球增長新平台」會議，開啟了聖彼得堡國際經濟論壇（SPIEF）商業議程。來自俄羅斯、喀麥隆、西班牙、阿塞拜疆和加拿大的知名國際專家，以及開放對話優秀論文作者共同參與了討論。與會嘉賓圍繞不斷變化的世界秩序、非洲潛力及未來經濟趨勢展開，包括人口變化和突破性技術的應用。「今年聖彼得堡國際經濟論壇正值全球局勢動盪之際，涵蓋中東局勢與貿易戰等議題。論壇將大量關注這一當前議程。我們不能忘記，是哪些長期趨勢和挑戰導致了現狀，哪些趨勢是基本且決定性的。開展開放對話，探討如何構建未來世界，如何打造全球增長新平台至關重要。全球增長在哪些國家發生？基於哪些技術？遵循哪些原則和文化代碼？我們的任務是確保前進成果惠及所有像俄羅斯一樣致力於未來的國家人民。正是通過開放對話，構築了我們的未來及對未來的認知，」馬克西姆-奧列什金強調。西班牙發言人、馬德里康普頓斯大學經濟學博士、教授胡安-安東尼奧-德-卡斯特羅-德-阿雷斯帕科查加介紹了全球多數國家如何改變現實。「如今，大多數國家不僅參與全球進程，更在改變現實。我們看到越來越靈活、多極化的世界秩序正在形成。世界貿易變得碎片化、高速且技術化，國際體系則演變為一張優先協議網絡，扭曲了GATT和世貿組織的基本原則，」他指出。討論的重點之一是「非洲--未來經濟秩序的引擎」。非洲諮詢委員會主席弗朗索瓦-恩德格韋表示，人口增長正將非洲轉變為未來全球勞動力的搖籃。「這不僅是數據統計，更是人力資本，能成為全球增長的新引擎。那些今天投資教育、建設非洲大學的人，將在明天與非洲共同塑造市場，制定遊戲規則，」他說。EFKO集團執行董事兼董事會成員謝爾蓋-伊萬諾夫談及現代企業的新責任。他強調，企業不只是利潤製造者，更是社會變革的積極參與者。「今天我們應投資哪些項目和技術？投資標準有三條：質的提升人類生活、製程與自然和諧、具備可及性至少具備大眾潛力。但更重要的不是你製造什麼，而是在哪種文化下製造。2012年總統曾說過一句我近期經常引用的話：俄羅斯人的偉大使命是團結，透過文化、語言與普遍的感知力連接文明。因此，我們努力圍繞這種普遍感知力建立文化和倫理，打造有人文關懷的資本主義，」他說。另一場聚焦突破性技術的會議中，「未來交通」有限責任公司總經理尤里-科扎連科表示，自動化如今已達到機器人製造機器人的階段，生產面向人類的商品與服務。「今年是人工智能技術發展的躍進之年。中國開設了多個中心、學校和研究所，培養各類專業機器人。我們俄羅斯也在薩馬拉和莫斯科開設機器人培訓中心，包括無人系統研究所，教授機器人以經濟高效的方式創造社會價值，」他強調。專家補充說，科技創新正直接影響社會領域，例如助力解決人口危機。會議期間，參與者還討論了由「第三羅馬」跨行業專業中心準備的開放對話成果報告。「塑造全球增長新平台」會議的結論成為SPIEF-2025後續商業議程的基礎。會議錄像可於俄羅斯國家中心網站觀看。Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/gowithrussiaVK: https://vk.com/gowithrussiaOK: https://ok.ru/gowithrussiaDZen: https://dzen.ru/gowithrussiaContact for the mediaBrand: Russia National CentreContact: Media teamEmail: Pressa@russia.ruWebsite: https://russia.ru Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

DOVER, DE, June 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a fiery spectacle worthy of Silicon Valley lore, Ditchit - a rising star in the online marketplace space and rival to OfferUp - has made headlines by purchasing and then blowing up the original 560-pound Twitter bird sign once perched atop the company's San Francisco headquarters.The marketing stunt, filmed in the Nevada desert with a 15-person production crew, four Tesla Cybertrucks, and a Hollywood pyrotechnics expert, marked a symbolic farewell to legacy tech monopolies and a bold introduction to Ditchit's mission: to build a local marketplace that puts people before profits."Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to X to support free expression. At Ditchit, we're doing the same for local marketplaces," said Ditchit spokesman James Deluca. "Today's platforms are filled with ads, fees, and algorithms that prioritize businesses over people. Ditchit is different-free to use, ad-free, and designed to support real communities and real sellers."The 12-foot-tall Twitter logo, affectionately known as "Larry," was purchased at auction for $34,000 earlier this year. While the initial acquisition was driven by nostalgia, the company ultimately decided to transform the artifact into a symbol of disruption.The resulting video, now live on YouTube, shows the massive sign's explosive end outside of Las Vegas, capturing a cinematic moment that's already garnering viral attention.But "Larry's" story doesn't end in smoke. Fragments of the sign have been salvaged and will be sold on the Ditchit app in a sealed-bid auction starting today. 100% of proceeds will go to the Center for American Entrepreneurship, a nonprofit that champions startup innovation and supports the next generation of entrepreneurs."Many entrepreneurs get their start on local marketplace apps," Deluca added. "We're here to support that journey-not just through our platform, but through action."With the stunt, Ditchit isn't just selling a piece of tech history. It's signaling a new era for digital marketplaces - one powered by transparency, accessibility, and the belief that local economies deserve better.About DitchitDitchit is a community-first local marketplace built for everyday buyers and sellers. Unlike traditional platforms, Ditchit is ad-free, fee-free, and designed to keep transactions simple and fair. Founded in 2024, the Ditchit app is available for iOS and Android.Media Contact:James DelucaPR Manager, Ditchitjames.deluca@ditchit.comSOURCE: Ditchit Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, June 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Artificial intelligence (AI) projects are both exciting and complex. They require considerable infrastructure to enable teams to innovate and scale as the need arises. Teams may face problems ranging from managing dependencies to scaling compute resources that can delay any progress. AI containers may just be the answer.Containers help standardize environments, improve scalability, and enable smoother collaboration. These are critical benefits when building and deploying AI models at scale and can make all the difference to your project. Whether you're training models or deploying in production, using an AI container setup can help streamline your entire development process. Let's find out how.Simplified environment managementOne of the biggest pain points in AI development is managing dependencies. Machine learning libraries, GPU drivers, and data preprocessing tools must all work together seamlessly. A small version mismatch may produce inconsistent results.Containers solve this by packaging everything your AI project needs (such as code, runtime, libraries, and system tools) into a single, portable environment. This means what works on one machine will work the same on another, enhancing reliable, predictable results.For teams working remotely with cloud platforms, containers help maintain consistency and reproducibility. Whether you're running a model on a developer's laptop or a testing environment, the container provides a stable environment.Faster experimentation and better security through isolationContainers allow for isolation from both the host system and other containers on the operating system. This isolation is beneficial in a few different ways:Security: Containers may help limit the impact of malicious applications. Isolation limits what each container can access. They make it easy to protect sensitive data processed by an AI model by restricting it's access to other networks.Speed: AI development involves a lot of trial and error. Data scientists often run multiple experiments in parallel, tweak parameters, or test new algorithms in a bid to perfect their model. Containers can help isolate each experiment in its own environment. This may accelerate testing and debugging.Convenience: With containerization, developers can spin up lightweight, standalone instances of different models without worrying about conflicts between dependencies. Additionally, when it's time to deploy, containers allow the same environment used during development to move directly into production.Scalable training with orchestration toolsTraining AI models like deep learning models may require significant compute power. As datasets grow and architecture becomes more complex, developers need infrastructure that can scale flexibly. This is where containers can be particularly useful. Designed to be lightweight and scalable, they are ideal for distributed training across multiple machines or nodes.When paired with orchestration tools like Kubernetes, containers can support resource allocation and manage changing workloads. This orchestration allows AI teams to run multiple training jobs in parallel, scale up or down based on demand, and automate workload management, all essential steps for remaining agile even in rapid development cycles. Whether you're scaling training across cloud instances or running jobs on-premises, container orchestration brings a level of control and efficiency that traditional methods may not match.Containers have become an invaluable tool for AI development teams today. They help teams face some of the biggest challenges in AI workflows head-on and enhance speed and security in the process. Adopting an AI container approach can bring more reliability and control to every stage of the AI lifecycle. Whether you're a solo data scientist or part of a large machine learning team, containers can help you move faster, collaborate better, and deploy smarter.CONTACT:Sonakshi MurzeManagersonakshi.murze@iquanti.comSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
