Maduro crackdown on political opponents following rigged election: ‘chilled people into silence’

(SeaPRwire) - Seorang tokoh utama dalam menyiarkan secara langsung penangkapannya ketika dia dikeluarkan dari rumahnya di Portuguesa di barat laut Venezuela awal bulan ini. Pegawai keselamatan dari Direktorat Umum Kaunter Perisikan Tentera Venezuela memaksa masuk ke rumah María Oropeza tanpa sebab yang munasabah atau waran.Sebelum penguatkuasa Presiden Venezuela Nicolás Maduro merampas telefon bimbitnya dan menamatkan dia berkata dalam siaran langsungnya, "Saya bukan penjenayah. Saya hanyalah seorang warganegara lain yang menginginkan negara yang berbeza." Oropeza tidak dapat dihubungi sejak itu."Ia adalah pengalaman yang sangat mengecewakan bagi kami, kerana kami tidak berkuasa untuk melakukan apa-apa selain menonton," kata Ana Karina Rizo. "Ia sangat tertekan," tambah Rizo, yang merupakan rakan sekerja Oropeza.Beberapa jam sebelum ditahan, Oropeza mengkritik tindakan keras yang meluas dan semakin meningkat yang berlaku di Venezuela sejak sebulan yang lalu. Aktivis dan peguam pembangkang itu merujuk kepada penindasan Presiden Maduro sebagai memburu ahli politik selepas pilihan raya yang sangat dipertikaikan.Pilihan raya Venezuela pada 28 Julai menyaksikan dengan lebih daripada 1 juta undi. Maduro, yang berkuasa sejak 2013, sedang mencari penggal ketiga selama enam tahun. Sementara itu, gabungan pembangkang utama, Vente Venezuela, menuduhnya cuba mencuri undi. Kempen Vente Venezuela telah mengeluarkan rekod yang menunjukkan calon pembangkang Edmundo González menang dengan margin lebih daripada 2 hingga 1. Pemimpin utama pembangkang, González, dan pemimpin pembangkang María Corina Machado telah bersembunyi sejak pengundian.Minggu lepas, pembangkang mengalami satu lagi kemunduran apabila Mahkamah Agung Venezuela yang kontroversi menegaskan semula Maduro sebagai pemenang pilihan raya yang dipertikaikan. Mahkamah yang dipilih sendiri oleh Maduro mengisytiharkan bahawa kiraan undi yang menunjukkan sebarang laporan tentang kekalahannya adalah palsu.Amerika Syarikat, Kesatuan Eropah (EU), dan sekumpulan negara Amerika Latin telah menolak secara mutlak pensijilan mahkamah tinggi Venezuela. Maduro dan kerajaan beliau telah menolak untuk mengeluarkan lembaran kiraan rasmi daripada pilihan raya bulan lepas.Tuntutan kemenangan Maduro telah mencetuskan kemarahan protes di seluruh Venezuela, mendorong rejimnya untuk terlibat dalam gelombang penindasan ganas. Pasukan keselamatan telah menangkap lebih daripada 2,000 penunjuk perasaan, ramai daripada mereka dibawa ke kem penyeksaan. Oropeza adalah salah seorang tahanan tersebut.Aktivisme Oropeza dalam mendapatkan sokongan untuk menjadikannya sasaran penting bagi tindakan keras rejim Maduro terhadap pembangkang. Dua hari selepas penangkapan Oropeza, unit kaunter perisikan tentera Venezuela mengeluarkan video pertama dan satu-satunya beliau. Dalam rakaman itu, wanita berusia 30 tahun itu dilihat dikawal keluar dari pesawat ke belakang van dengan tangannya diikat dengan zip tie.Minggu lepas, peguam Vente Venezuela mengesahkan bahawa Oropeza, penyelaras mereka untuk Negeri Portuguesa, ditahan di pusat tahanan El Helicoide yang terkenal, dituduh menghasut kebencian dan keganasan, kesalahan yang membawa hukuman penjara sehingga 20 hingga 30 tahun.Pusat tahanan El Helicoide Maduro di Caracas menempatkan tahanan biasa dan politik. Ia terkenal sebagai penjara utama Venezuela untuk pembangkang dan kem penyeksaan terburuknya. Tahanan ditahan dalam sel bawah tanah yang sesak dan tidak bersih di mana lipas berkeliaran dan sisa manusia mencemari persekitaran. Tahanan wanita sering menghadapi keganasan seksual. Kebanyakan tahanan, seperti Oropeza, tidak mempunyai wakil undang-undang dan tidak boleh menghubungi peguam.Jabatan Negara AS telah menggesa Maduro "untuk membebaskan mereka yang ditahan kerana menjalankan hak kebebasan bersuara mereka" dan agar "kehendak rakyat Venezuela" "dihormati." Pentadbiran Biden telah menyatakan komitmennya untuk menegakkan hak pengundi Venezuela, tetapi tiada tindakan konkrit untuk membebaskan mereka yang berada di kem penyeksaan telah diambil.Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA), sebuah organisasi wanita libertarian global, telah mengambil tindakan segera sebagai tindak balas kepada penangkapan Oropeza. Awal bulan ini, LOLA telah memfailkan aduan kepada Suruhanjaya Antara Amerika mengenai Hak Asasi Manusia, meminta langkah berjaga-jaga untuk pembebasan Oropeza. Organisasi itu juga berusaha menarik perhatian antarabangsa kepada penderitaannya, menyeru organisasi hak asasi manusia dan masyarakat antarabangsa untuk menekan rejim Maduro.Penahanannya telah menggegarkan penunjuk perasaan. Video penangkapan yang mengerikan, kemudian diedit dan disiarkan semula oleh milisi kaunter perisikan Venezuela dengan muzik yang menakutkan dari filem seram "A Nightmare on Elm Street", telah memaksa ramai bersembunyi.Presiden LOLA Nena Bartlett Whitfield memberitahu Digital bahawa "nafsu ramai aktivis untuk mengambil risiko telah berkurangan. Mereka takut dipenjarakan." Whitfield menambah, "Rejim tidak mahu revolusi ganas, tetapi mereka memang mengganggu pembangkang untuk menghalang perjuangan mereka." Whitfield berkata video penangkapan Oropeza "telah membuat orang diam."Peguam LOLA Ana Karina Rizo menyatakan bahaya yang dihadapi oleh penunjuk perasaan yang kekal di Venezuela, memberitahu Digital, "Kita tahu aktivis seperti María mungkin menjadi sasaran rejim pada bila-bila masa. Itulah risiko yang anda ambil apabila mencabar rejim totaliter." "Dia memilih untuk tinggal di Venezuela, walaupun dia mempunyai peluang untuk berhijrah, kerana dia mahu memperjuangkan kebebasan dan untuk keluarganya," kata teman Oropeza dan rakan sekerja LOLA Agustina Sosa kepada Digital. "Bagaimana kita tidak boleh terus mendesak pembebasannya?"LOLA mengetuai usaha untuk pembebasan Oropeza. Organisasi itu telah mengumpul hampir $4,000 untuk mencapai matlamatnya sebanyak $5,000. Dianggarkan 7.7 juta rakyat Venezuela telah melarikan diri dari negara yang huru-hara itu sejak 2014.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Laporan Pendapatan Nvidia: Apa Yang Diharapkan Dari Raksasa AI kewangan

Laporan Pendapatan Nvidia: Apa Yang Diharapkan Dari Raksasa AI

(SeaPRwire) - Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) telah menjadi kuasa dominan dalam sektor kecerdasan buatan (AI), memacu inovasi dan memimpin dalam pembuatan cip AI. Ketika dunia teknologi menantikan laporan pendapatan Nvidia yang terbaru, terdapat antisipasi yang semakin meningkat mengenai apa yang akan didedahkan oleh angka-angka tersebut tentang kejayaan berterusan syarikat dan pasaran AI yang lebih luas. Ledakan AI Menggerakkan Dominasi Pasaran Nvidia Laporan pendapatan Nvidia sangat dinantikan disebabkan peranan penting syarikat dalam revolusi AI. Unit pemprosesan grafik (GPU) Nvidia telah menjadi tulang belakang pembangunan AI, membolehkan segala-galanya daripada algoritma pembelajaran mesin yang canggih kepada alat AI generatif yang canggih. Ini telah meletakkan Nvidia di barisan hadapan industri AI, dengan permodalan pasaran kini melebihi $3 trilion. Dominasi Nvidia bukan sahaja tentang penguasaan pasaran, tetapi juga tentang pengaruh. Cip syarikat adalah penting kepada operasi gergasi teknologi yang melabur dengan banyak dalam AI, menjadikan Nvidia sebagai penunjuk aras kesihatan industri. Laporan pendapatan Nvidia yang akan datang dijangka memberi gambaran tentang betapa menguntungkan ledakan AI ini bagi syarikat tersebut. Penganalisis Meramalkan Keputusan yang Kukuh Penganalisis Wall Street optimistik mengenai prestasi kewangan Nvidia. Laporan pendapatan Nvidia dijangka menunjukkan peningkatan yang besar dalam pendapatan dan pendapatan sesaham (EPS). Khususnya, penganalisis meramalkan pendapatan diselaraskan 65 sen sesaham, lompatan yang ketara berbanding 27 sen yang dilaporkan pada suku yang sama tahun lepas. Pendapatan dijangka melonjak kepada $28.74 bilion, lebih daripada dua kali ganda angka tahun sebelumnya. Pertumbuhan yang mengagumkan ini sangat berbeza dengan S&P 500 yang lebih luas, di mana syarikat-syarikat dijangka mencatatkan peningkatan pendapatan hanya 5% secara purata untuk suku tersebut. Prestasi luar biasa Nvidia menyerlahkan kedudukan uniknya dalam pasaran, didorong oleh permintaan yang tidak terpuaskan untuk teknologi AI. Risiko Euforia Pelabur Walaupun prospek yang positif, terdapat kebimbangan bahawa pasaran mungkin telah menjadi terlalu euforik tentang prospek Nvidia. Saham Nvidia telah melonjak hampir 150% pada separuh pertama tahun ini, membawa kepada penilaian lebih daripada 100 kali ganda pendapatannya dalam 12 bulan yang lalu. Ini jauh lebih tinggi daripada penilaian sejarah saham dan pasaran yang lebih luas. Laporan pendapatan Nvidia boleh menjadi saat penting untuk saham syarikat. Jika hasilnya memenuhi atau melebihi jangkaan, saham tersebut boleh meneruskan trajektori menaiknya. Walau bagaimanapun, apa-apa tanda permintaan AI yang melambat atau hasil yang lebih lemah daripada jangkaan boleh mencetuskan jualan, kerana pelabur menilai semula kemampanan pertumbuhan Nvidia. Permintaan AI Memandu Lonjakan Pendapatan Pertumbuhan Nvidia sebahagian besarnya didorong oleh permintaan yang melonjak untuk produk AI, khususnya yang digunakan dalam pusat data. Dalam tempoh tiga suku yang lalu, pendapatan Nvidia telah meningkat lebih daripada tiga kali ganda, dengan perniagaan pusat data menyumbang sebahagian besar pertumbuhan ini. Laporan pendapatan Nvidia dijangka mengesahkan bahawa trend ini berterusan, mengukuhkan lagi dominasi syarikat dalam ruang AI. Kebangkitan AI generatif—teknologi yang boleh mencipta teks, imej, dan kandungan lain—telah menjadi pendorong utama permintaan untuk cip khusus Nvidia. Syarikat-syarikat di pelbagai industri melabur dengan banyak dalam teknologi ini, semuanya bergantung pada GPU Nvidia untuk kuasa pengiraannya. Legasi Inovasi Nvidia Kejayaan Nvidia dalam AI adalah bab terbaru dalam sejarah inovasi yang panjang. Pengasas dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif syarikat, Jensen Huang, telah menjadi pemimpin yang berwawasan, bertaruh awal pada potensi GPU untuk mengubah bukan sahaja permainan tetapi juga seluruh landskap pengkomputeran. Penciptaan GPU oleh Nvidia pada tahun 1999 adalah titik perubahan untuk industri teknologi, dan syarikat tersebut terus menolak batas-batas apa yang mungkin dengan teknologinya. Ketika laporan itu semakin hampir, pelabur dan pemerhati industri akan teruja untuk melihat sama ada syarikat itu boleh terus memberikan hasil yang cemerlang yang telah menjadikannya pemimpin dalam revolusi AI. Taruhannya tinggi, tetapi Nvidia mempunyai rekod terbukti dalam menghadapi cabaran.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Pendapatan Nvidia Boleh Mencetuskan Pergerakan Pasaran Rekod $300 Bilion kewangan

Pendapatan Nvidia Boleh Mencetuskan Pergerakan Pasaran Rekod $300 Bilion

(SeaPRwire) - Ketika Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) bersiap untuk mengeluarkan laporan nya, pedagang di pasaran opsyen ekuiti A.S. bersiap untuk pergerakan pasaran yang berpotensi bersejarah. Antisipasi yang mengelilingi prestasi Nvidia sangat ketara, dengan harga opsyen menunjukkan bahawa ayunan lebih daripada $300 bilion dalam kapitalisasi pasaran syarikat boleh berlaku selepas pengumuman. Harapan ini menggariskan pengaruh mendalam Nvidia, pembuat cip kecerdasan buatan terkemuka dunia, terhadap pasaran yang lebih luas, terutamanya memandangkan peranannya dalam lonjakan teknologi yang didorong oleh AI. Impak Pendapatan Nvidia: Antisipasi Ayunan Pasaran Rekod Menurut data dari firma analisis ORATS, pedagang meramalkan pergerakan 9.8% dalam harga saham Nvidia selepas pelepasan pendapatannya. Dengan kapitalisasi pasaran Nvidia sekarang berada di sekitar $3.11 trilion, ayunan seperti itu boleh diterjemahkan kepada pergeseran yang mengejutkan $305 bilion. Ini kemungkinan akan menandakan pergerakan pasaran yang dijangka paling besar berkaitan dengan pendapatan dalam sejarah, mengatasi topi pasaran kebanyakan syarikat S&P 500, termasuk gergasi seperti Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) dan Merck (NYSE:MRK). Ketidaktentuan yang dijangkakan ini jauh melebihi pergerakan purata selepas pendapatan sebanyak 8.1% yang dialami Nvidia dalam tiga tahun terakhir. Harapan yang meningkat mencerminkan peranan penting yang dimainkan Nvidia dalam revolusi AI. Cip syarikat dianggap sebagai standard emas untuk aplikasi AI, menjadikan keputusan kewangannya sebagai petunjuk untuk sektor teknologi yang lebih luas. Implikasi Pasaran yang Lebih Luas Daripada Pendapatan Nvidia Pengaruh Nvidia meluas melampaui prestasi sahamnya sendiri. Syarikat itu telah menjadi pendorong utama keuntungan S&P 500 tahun ini, dengan sahamnya meningkat kira-kira 150% setakat tahun, menyumbang kepada kira-kira satu perempat daripada keuntungan 18% indeks dalam tempoh yang sama. "Ia adalah Atlas yang menyokong pasaran," kata Steve Sosnick, ketua strategi di Interactive Brokers, menyoroti peranan penting Nvidia dalam keuntungan keseluruhan S&P 500. Taruhannya tinggi, bukan sahaja untuk Nvidia tetapi untuk keseluruhan pasaran. Pergerakan yang ketara dalam saham Nvidia boleh menetapkan nada untuk saham teknologi dan pasaran yang lebih luas dalam beberapa bulan akan datang. Pedagang khususnya bimbang tentang kehilangan potensi keuntungan, dengan data opsyen dari Susquehanna Financial menunjukkan kebarangkalian 7% bahawa saham Nvidia boleh meningkat lebih daripada 20% menjelang Jumaat. Sebaliknya, hanya ada peluang 4% untuk penurunan bersaiz serupa. Ketidaktentuan dan Ketakutan Memisahkan Diri (FOMO) Sebahagian daripada apa yang mendorong harapan ini ialah sejarah ketidaktentuan Nvidia. Ketidaktentuan sejarah 30 hari purata syarikat tahun ini kira-kira dua kali ganda daripada syarikat trilion dolar lain, menurut analisis data Trade Alert oleh Reuters. Ketidaktentuan ini mencerminkan ketidakpastian dan optimisme berterusan yang mengelilingi AI dan peluang besar yang ditawarkannya. Christopher Jacobson, seorang ahli strategi di Susquehanna Financial Group, menyatakan, "Opsyen hanya mencerminkan bagaimana saham sebenarnya bergerak. Ia adalah fungsi ketidakpastian/optimisme berterusan berkaitan dengan AI dan saiz peluang akhir yang digabungkan dengan NVDA telah menjadi saham yang sangat diikuti di kalangan pelabur institusi dan runcit." Fokus yang kuat pada Nvidia telah menyebabkan apa yang Sosnick gambarkan sebagai "insurans FOMO" di kalangan pedagang— ramai yang membeli opsyen bukan sahaja untuk lindung nilai terhadap potensi kerugian, tetapi untuk mengelakkan daripada kehilangan kemungkinan perhimpunan dalam saham Nvidia. Ketakutan untuk ketinggalan ini menggariskan sentimen yang lebih luas dalam pasaran, di mana optimisme mengenai masa depan AI diredamkan oleh ketidaktentuan yang wujud dalam sektor yang berkembang pesat ini. Kesimpulan: Momen Penting untuk Nvidia dan Pasaran Ketika Nvidia bersiap untuk mengumumkan pendapatannya, pasaran bersiap sedia untuk apa yang boleh menjadi tindak balas yang memecahkan rekod. Sama ada keputusan Nvidia membawa kepada perhimpunan yang signifikan atau penurunan tajam, hasilnya kemungkinan akan mempunyai implikasi yang luas untuk sektor teknologi dan pasaran yang lebih luas. Ayunan pasaran $300 bilion yang dijangkakan mencerminkan bukan sahaja pentingnya prestasi kewangan Nvidia, tetapi juga harapan tinggi yang diletakkan pada syarikat sebagai peneraju dalam revolusi AI. Pelabur dan pedagang sama-sama akan memerhatikan dengan teliti, kerana hasilnya boleh menetapkan pentas untuk bab seterusnya dalam evolusi pasaran.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Farmasi ini menghasilkan versi alternatif, bukan paten bagi ubat-ubatan tersebut, walaupun tidak disokong oleh Pentadbiran Makanan dan Dadah (FDA). Walaupun FDA telah mengeluarkan ubat-ubatan Lilly dari senarai kekurangannya, yang mengakhiri hak farmasi kompaun untuk menjual versi mereka, alternatif ini masih boleh didapati melalui platform dalam talian dan perkhidmatan teleperubatan. Pengenalan Vial Dosis Tunggal Eli Lilly juga telah mengumumkan bahawa Zepbound kini akan tersedia dalam vial dosis tunggal, menggantikan pen auto-penyuntik yang digunakan sebelum ini. Perubahan ini dijangka menyelaraskan pengeluaran dan meningkatkan akses kepada pesakit yang mencari rawatan penurunan berat badan yang selamat dan berkesan. Landskap Persaingan dan Dinamika Pasaran Strategi penetapan harga baharu syarikat ini akan dapat diakses melalui platform langsung-kepada-pengguna, LillyDirect, yang dilancarkan pada Januari. Langkah ini meletakkan Eli Lilly bersaing dengan Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE), yang baru-baru ini memperkenalkan platform langsung-kepada-pengguna, PfizerForAll. Selain itu, ubat penurunan berat badan Wegovy dari Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) masih lebih mahal dengan harga senarai $1,349 sebulan. Novo Nordisk belum mengumumkan sebarang rancangan untuk melaraskan harganya sebagai tindak balas kepada harga baharu Lilly. Menurut data dari firma analisis GlobalData, Eli Lilly dan Novo Nordisk mendominasi pasaran GLP-1 pada tahun 2023, memegang gabungan 99% bahagian pasaran. Ubat GLP-1, yang telah digunakan untuk diabetes jenis 2 sejak 2005, kini menyaksikan populariti yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya untuk penurunan berat badan. Kategori GLP-1 menjana $37.2 bilion pada tahun 2023, dan pasaran dijangka melebihi $150 bilion menjelang tahun 2030.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Hitachi High-Tech and Gencurix entered a partnership in cancer molecular diagnostics business

Hitachi High-Tech Corporation ("Hitachi High-Tech") and Gencurix, Inc. ("Gencurix") have entered a strategic partnership (the Partnership) in the field of cancer molecular diagnostics(1). The Partnership aims to develop a testing service for the cancer molecular diagnostics by combining Hitachi High-Tech's core expertise in R&D and manufacturing of in vitro diagnostic products and digital technology, and Gencurix's technology and experience in biomarker(2) discovery for cancer diagnosis and development of molecular testing service.

Biomarkers are becoming increasingly important and enabling personalized medicine in specific disease areas such as cancer. In addition to being used as indicators to measure therapeutic efficacy, biomarkers are also expected to be used as indicators for disease prevention in the future.(3) Companion diagnostics: In vitro diagnostics to test the indication of a specific drug to improve the efficacy or safety of the drug.About GencurixGencurix is a molecular diagnostics company for cancer that provides digital PCR-based products and testing services based on a liquid biopsy, biomarker discovery and commercialization platform.

Nurlan Baibazarov, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy of Kazakhstan, will give a keynote address.Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government, said: "As our country's Belt and Road Initiative enters its next golden decade and the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has proposed improving the mechanism for high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, Hong Kong, with the solid support of the nation, will continue to capitalise on our unique advantages under one country, two systems to play a more active role by leveraging its strengths as a two-way global investment and trade hub, a hub for technological innovation and green development and an international cultural exchange centre. The Belt and Road Summit will deepen international business cooperation and consolidate Hong Kong's position as the preferred business platform for the Belt and Road Initiative, fully demonstrating Hong Kong's important functions and positioning in global finance, business cooperation, people-to-people exchanges, innovation and technology development, guiding enterprises to explore new business opportunities."Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, said: "With the support of its global network of 50 offices, the HKTDC organises business delegations and outreach activities to Belt and Road countries and regions, promoting tripartite cooperation among Mainland Chinese and Hong Kong professional service providers, investors and Belt and Road project owners.

Last year, the bilateral trade value reached US$144.6 billion, accounting for nearly 13% of Hong Kong's total foreign trade. The development potential is enormous. Last month, John Lee, Chief Executive of the HKSAR, led a HKTDC delegation to Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, the three ASEAN countries. The visit was highly fruitful, with 55 cooperation MoUs signed, further expanding Hong Kong's network in the region.

In 2023, the total amount of green and sustainable debt issued in Hong Kong surpassed US$50 billion. Among this, the total amount of green and sustainable bonds arranged for issuance in Hong Kong ranked first in the Asian market, accounting for 37% of the total. This has attracted a wealth of green capital and financial products, giving Hong Kong a significant advantage in developing into an international green technology and finance centre. Additionally, the Clean Air Plan for Hong Kong 2035 covered six major areas – green transport, liveable environment, comprehensive emissions reduction, clean energy, scientific management, and regional collaboration – reflecting Hong Kong's determination to proactively address the challenges of climate change.In view of the growing global focus on green development and the tremendous strides Hong Kong continues to make in that regard, the Summit will debut the Green Chapter, featuring thematic sessions on green construction, innovation, finance and more, enabling participants to explore how to leverage the Hong Kong platform to make their business greener. The co-organising institutions include the China International Contractors Association, HSBC and HKMA Infrastructure Financing Facilitation Office.As the BRI continues to drive regional development, the Business Plenary on the first day of the Summit, themed Capturing Belt and Road Business Opportunities, will explore promising prospects from rapidly rising ASEAN, building on concrete achievements in the past years.

In the former session, experts from industries such as shipping, ports, airports, logistics and trade will jointly discuss and delve into the progress and development potential of connectivity among transportation networks.

HKIoD Recommends Board Readiness Training for First-time Directors Before Appointment ACN Newswire

HKIoD Recommends Board Readiness Training for First-time Directors Before Appointment

HONG KONG, Aug 28, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Institute of Directors (“HKIoD”) welcomes(1) The Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited ("the Exchange")'s proposal to mandate directorship training for first-time directors and require all directors to undergo continuing professional development (“CPD”) training. To further uphold corporate governance standards and director professionalism, HKIoD thinks the Exchange can go further.Dr Christopher To, Chairman of HKIoD, said, “HKIoD welcomes the Exchange’s latest regular exercise to review and update the Corporate Governance Code and related Listing Rules. Although we do not agree with every element of the Exchange’s proposals, we certainly support the notion of making continuing professional development mandatory for all directors.”According to HKIoD, to make true the purpose and effect of continuing training, a board should have a suitable professional development policy for its directors. Continuing training is important for directors to keep up, but it must be distinguished from initial training. For those who do not have directorship training nor experience whatsoever, undergoing initial training on effective directorship and corporate governance is prudent. First-time directorship training should be a prerequisite prior to the director coming on board, however. “The Exchange should go further by encouraging individuals to have become ready for a board seat prior to appointment, rather than to start acquainting themselves with the demands of directorship post-appointment.” Dr To commented.Dr Carlye Tsui, CEO of HKIoD, supplemented, “We believe all company directors, when they first assume their posts, should have a firm grounding of the skills, knowledge and qualities required to meet the corporate governance demands of today. HKIoD long advocates the importance of corporate governance training, and we want to emphasise that proper initial training for first-time directors is one key aspect of the total quality of corporate governance training.”The Institute believes that attaining HKIoD Diploma level credential (or higher) should qualify as initial training now proposed for First-time Directors by the Exchange. The Institute also recommends transition course(s) for credentialed/experienced directors from other markets to help them become familiar with the Hong Kong market. HKIoD will gladly work with the Exchange to design and offer such programmes, and an accreditation regime for directorship training in Hong Kong.On proposals around time commitment and tenure of Independent Non-Executive Director (“INED”), Mr Henry Lai, Past Chairman of HKIoD and current Chairman of the Institute’s Corporate Governance Policies Committee, said, “The emphasis should be on whether the INED and the issuers involved have made an honest assessment as to the ability to devote sufficient time, not a broad-brush requirement on the director to limit the number of INED positions one may hold. Particularly, we do not agree with the Exchange’s proposal which only seeks to limit INED positions one may hold among Hong Kong issuers.” As to the question of how long is too long for an INED, Mr Lai added, “the answer ought to be ‘it depends’. It is the independence of mind that matters, not tenure.”The Exchange would also want issuers without an independent board chair to designate a Lead INED. Due to the many constraints and practical realities now exist in the Hong Kong market, HKIoD believes there are alternatives that can be more effective. “We do not tend to have majority INED in our market. The Lead INED will be chosen from a small group anyway. We should rather empower and encourage all INEDs to collectively perform, to bring the results that are sought under the Lead INED concept. Meetings with shareholders and stakeholders can be set up for all INEDs to take part. There can be an INED report section in the annual report,” Mr Lai commented. “Maybe we should encourage more issuers to have an independent board chair. An independent board chair working together with all the other INEDs can be more helpful,” Mr Lai continued.HKIoD has early on advocated the benefit of moving towards a majority INED, which can make INEDs collectively better able to perform their director roles. With INEDs comprising the majority, their active involvement in board matters becomes more necessary and their time commitment more valued. It should also allow much more room for meaningful rotation and refreshment through careful succession planning.Apart from the above, the Institute expressed support for many changes proposed by the Exchange including mandating board performance review, maintaining a board skills matrix, mandating the annual reviews of the effectiveness of the issuer’s risk management and internal control systems, disclosure of the issuer’s policy on payment of dividends and the board’s dividend decisions, and disclosures in respect of issuers’ modified auditors’ opinion.

Fujitsu and Osaka University accelerate progress toward practical quantum computing by significantly increasing computing scale through error impact reduction in quantum computing architecture JCN Newswire

Fujitsu and Osaka University accelerate progress toward practical quantum computing by significantly increasing computing scale through error impact reduction in quantum computing architecture

Kawasaki and Osaka, Aug 28, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology at Osaka University (QIQB) today announced the joint development of two new technologies for the space-time efficient analog rotation quantum computing architecture (1) that will accelerate the realization of practical quantum computing.Fujitsu and QIQB have leveraged these new technologies, one that improves phase angle accuracy during phase rotation (2) and one that automatically generates efficient qubit operation procedures, to show that it is theoretically possible for a quantum computer to perform a calculation that would take a classical computer five years, in only ten hours. The two organizations found that the calculation, a material energy estimate, would be possible using only 60,000 qubits, significantly less than the amount typically thought to be required (3) for fault-tolerant quantum computation (FTQC) (4) to surpass the calculation speed of classical computers.These results demonstrate for the first time how quantum advantage, i.e., quantum computers being able to solve problems faster than current classical computers, can be achieved in the early-FTQC era (5), which is expected to arrive around 2030. Quantum computing is expected to accelerate technological innovations in various fields, including enabling a larger-scale analysis of the Hubbard model (6) for developing high temperature superconductors (7), which may improve the efficiency of electrical infrastructure, as well as lead to innovations in material development and drug discovery.The generation of efficient qubit operation procedures was achieved through the development of a quantum circuit generator. This system introduces a streamlined the process for converting logic gates, which are the fundamental operations of quantum computing, into physical gates, which operate the qubits. The system is also equipped with acceleration technology that minimizes computing time by dynamically changing the operational procedures of the qubits.The two organizations initially announced the quantum computing architecture on March 23, 2023 (8), but there were obstacles to practical applications including insufficient accuracy in phase rotation and the lack of an established physical gating procedure, a method of operating qubits suitable for specific calculation problems. These new technologies address these obstacles.Through their continued joint quantum computing initiatives, Fujitsu and QIQB aim to contribute to solving societal issues, addressing decarbonization and reducing the cost of new material development.AcknowledgementsThis research was supported by the following grants: Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST); the Program on Open Innovation Platforms for Industry-academia Co-creation (COI-NEXT), "Quantum Software Research Hub" (JPMJPF2014); JST Moonshot Goal 6 "Realization of a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer that will revolutionize economy, industry, and security by 2050", R&D project "Research and Development of Theory and Software for Fault-tolerant Quantum Computers" (JPMJMS2061); and Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Quantum Leap Flagship Program (MEXT Q-LEAP) "Development of quantum software by intelligent quantum system design and its applications" (JPMXS0120319794).[1] Space-time efficient analog rotation quantum computing architecture :A quantum computing architecture that can significantly reduce the number of physical qubits needed for arbitrary phase rotation, An essential step in achieving practical quantum computing.[2] Phase rotation :An operation in which the arbitrary phase angle of a qubit rotates.
