康希诺生物扭亏为盈 创新疫苗龙头步入价值兑现期

香港, 2026年3月31日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 日前,2026年两会政府工作报告明确提出打造生物医药等新兴支柱产业,中国创新医药行业正迎来政策春风。在此背景下,康希诺生物(06185.HK/688185.SH)发布的2025年业绩公告,清晰地展现了这家创新疫苗代表企业如何凭借清晰的商业逻辑与全球视野穿越周期,步入价值兑现的新阶段。业绩扭亏为盈,产品矩阵释放增长动能根据2025年年度业绩公告,公司全年实现营业收入约10.68亿元,同比增长26.18%;归属于母公司所有者的净利润约为2787.27万元,成功实现扭亏为盈。这一数据不仅标志着公司走出了研发投入与市场波动的低谷,更验证了其依靠常规疫苗商业化构建了稳定的"自我造血"能力。本次扭亏为盈的核心驱动力并非短期因素,而是源于主营业务的内生增长。公告显示,公司核心产品四价流脑结合疫苗曼海欣(R)收入持续增长,同时13价肺炎结合疫苗优佩欣(R)快速铺开,形成了稳定的现金流模式。这种收入结构的优化,提升了盈利质量的可持续性,为市场提供了更确定的估值锚点。此外,公司在报告期内获得了多项政府专项补助及国际专项研发资金支持,这也体现了国家层面对康希诺生物技术实力与创新价值的高度认可。核心产品放量在即,管线储备夯实成长根基康希诺生物的价值不止于短期盈利,而是由层次分明、梯次配备的产品管线所支撑,这也为其后续的业绩确定性提供了坚实支撑。作为康希诺生物的核心增长引擎,中国首个获批的四价流脑结合疫苗曼海欣(R)的潜力正在全面释放。2026年2月,该产品扩大适用人群的补充申请成功获批,接种范围扩展至3月龄至6周岁的婴幼儿及儿童。本次曼海欣(R)扩龄至6岁,为即将进入校园生活的学龄儿童提供了新选择,也为产品扩展了可观的市场空间。另一核心产品优佩欣(R)则展现出强大的协同效应。其为国内首款采用CRM197和破伤风类毒素(TT)双载体的13价肺炎球菌多糖结合疫苗(PCV13i),于2025年6月获批上市,同年9月起发往全国并陆续启动接种。在商业化路径上,优佩欣(R)与曼海欣(R)的协同效应将显著降低边际销售成本,提升整体商业化效率。此外,中期储备同样扎实,公司的婴幼儿组分百白破疫苗DTcP(以下简称"婴幼儿用DTcP")已被纳入优先审评程序,有望加快上市进程。截至目前,暂无国内疫苗厂商研发的组分百白破疫苗获批上市,康希诺生物婴幼儿用DTcP将每种百日咳抗原进行单独纯化,以确定的比例配制,从而可以确保产品质量的批间一致性,使产品的质量更加稳定。此外,婴幼儿用DTcP的开发,也是青少年及成人用组分百白破疫苗和以组分百白破为基础的联合疫苗进一步研发的基础。组分百白破疫苗产品组合将进一步丰富公司产品策略,提升公司核心竞争力。而长期想象力的天花板,则由研发管线持续抬升。从近期兑现到中期储备再到长期探索,康希诺生物的价值绝不局限于现有产品。研发投入位居前列,技术平台构筑护城河作为创新疫苗领军企业,康希诺生物始终坚持"长期主义"的投入策略,确保了公司保持前沿技术探索,为其长期竞争力奠定了坚实基础。目前,康希诺生物拥有一支全球顶尖的团队,创始人及核心技术人员在生物制药行业平均拥有超过25年的经验,均曾就任于研发、生产及商业化国际重磅疫苗的全球制药或生物科技公司的重要岗位。这支团队不仅带来了全球视野下的管线布局思路,更将国际标准的研发管理体系深度融入日常运营,持续完善从实验室研发到商业落地的全链条闭环。此外,依托多年技术积累,公司已形成病毒载体疫苗、合成疫苗、蛋白结构设计与VLP组装、mRNA疫苗以及制剂与给药技术五大核心技术平台,构建多技术路线协同发展的创新体系,为全生命周期疫苗产品研发奠定坚实技术基。公司坚持差异化、创新化发展道路,聚焦多联多价疫苗、新型给药技术,依托五大核心技术平台研发全球首创或同类最优的疫苗品种。正是得益于技术平台的强力支撑,公司得以持续推出曼海欣(R)、优佩欣(R)等具有代际优势的创新产品,并在行业保持领先地位。国际认证再获突破,全球布局步入快车道与此同时,在国内疫苗市场竞争日趋激烈的背景下,康希诺生物的国际化布局正加速推进。日前,公司公告其生产基地已通过马来西亚药监局(简称"NPRA")PIC/S GMP认证。PIC/S是国际药品检查、认证的权威机构,由数十个国家的药品监管机构组成。通过此项认证,不仅意味着曼海欣(R)和优佩欣(R)的生产质量体系达到国际领先水平,也为产品进入更多国际市场创造有利条件。事实上,康希诺生物的国际化布局早已开始。曼海欣(R)自2024年以来已获得印度尼西亚注册证书并通过Halal认证,优佩欣(R)也正加快国际化布局步伐。目前,公司已与海外多家合作方签署战略合作协议,加强产品的本地化合作,包括商业化、联合研发与临床研究以及本地化生产等方面。可见,康希诺生物通过"技术转移+本地化生产"的策略,已从单纯的产品出口转向技术输出,建立起一道差异化的国际市场护城河。价值低估待重估,戴维斯双击有望开启综合来看,康希诺生物正以愈发清晰的商业逻辑证明其已穿越周期。然而,当前市值并未充分反映其投资价值。一方面,核心产品曼海欣(R)扩龄、优佩欣(R)放量以及已被纳入优先审评程序的婴幼儿用DTcP,加之国际化订单落地与海外市场的开拓,构成了未来明确的业绩增长点;另一方面,生物医药作为"新兴支柱产业"的定位,将提升整个板块的估值中枢。随着业绩持续兑现,市场认知差将逐步修复,公司有望迎来业绩与估值同步提升的"戴维斯双击"。在生物医药成为国家新兴支柱产业的时代背景下,康希诺生物的长期投资价值,值得市场予以更高的关注与期待。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

CanSinoBIO: From Profit Turnaround to Value Realization as an Innovative Vaccine Leader

HONG KONG, Mar 31, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China's 2026 Report on the Work of the Government identified biopharmaceuticals as an emerging pillar industry, underscoring a supportive policy environment for innovative drugmakers. In this context, CanSino Biologics Inc. (688185.SH/06185.HK) has released its Annual Results For The Year 2025, marking a return to profitability and highlighting steady progress in its commercialization efforts.Return to Profitability Driven by Vaccine Portfolio GrowthAccording to its annual results, CanSinoBIO achieved total revenue of approximately RMB 1.068 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 26.18%. Net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB 27.9 million, marking a return to profitability.The turnaround reflects more than a cyclical rebound and suggests the company is building a more sustainable revenue base through the commercialization of routine vaccines. This has strengthened its ability to generate consistent cash flow.The improvement was driven primarily by organic growth in core operations rather than one-off factors. During the reporting period, the Company’s Group ACYW135 Meningococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine (CRM197) (trade name: Menhycia(R)) maintained steady revenue growth, while its 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (trade name: iPneucia(R)) gained market traction following its launch. A more balanced revenue mix has improved earnings visibility.In addition, CanSinoBIO received multiple government grants and international R&D funding support during the year, reflecting recognition of its technological capabilities and innovative value.Core Products Set to Scale Up, Pipeline Supports Future GrowthBeyond near-term earnings, the company is supported by a diversified pipeline that provides both mid- and long-term growth drivers.As a core growth driver for CanSinoBIO, Menhycia(R), China’s first domestically developed quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, continues to expand its market reach. In February 2026, the company announced that the supplemental application to expand the age range of applicable population of Menhycia(R) from “children aged from 3 months to 3 years old (47 months)” to “children aged from 3 months to 6 years old (83 months)” has been approved, further broadening its target population.Meanwhile, iPneucia(R)—China’s first 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine using a dual-carrier system (CRM197 and tetanus toxoid)—is expected to generate commercial synergies with Menhycia(R). Shared distribution and marketing channels could help lower marginal sales costs and improve overall efficiency.In addition, the company’s mid-term pipeline remains robust. It’s absorbed diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (components) combined vaccine (the “DTcP”) for infants (below 2 years old) (the “DTcP Infant”)has been included in the priority review pathway, which will accelerate its approval timeline.To date, no component-based DTaP vaccine developed by domestic manufacturers has been approved for market launch in China. The infant DTcP vaccine is formulated with individually purified pertussis antigens in defined ratios to ensure consistent quality and stability. Its development also lays the groundwork for adolescent and adult component Tdap vaccines and combination vaccines, enhancing the Company’s product portfolio and core competitiveness.From near-term delivery to mid-term development and long-term innovation, CanSino Biologics’ value goes beyond its existing productsR&D Capabilities Support Long-Term CompetitivenessAs a leading innovative vaccine company, CanSinoBIO consistently adheres to a long-term strategy, ensuring the company remains at the forefront of technological exploration and laying a solid foundation for its sustained competitiveness.Its core talent team brings an average of more than 25 years of industry experience across global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, spanning research, manufacturing and commercialization. This has enabled the company to establish an integrated development system aligned with international standards and covering the full development cycle from early-stage research to commercialization.Over time, CanSinoBIO has also built five core technology platforms, including viral vector vaccines, synthetic vaccines, protein structure design and Virus-Like Particle (VLP) assembly, mRNA vaccines, and formulation and delivery technologies. These platforms support a diversified innovation system and provide a solid foundation for lifecycle vaccine development.The company continues to focus on differentiated innovation, including multivalent combination vaccines and novel delivery technologies, with the aim of developing globally competitive vaccine products.These technological capabilities have supported the launch of products like Menhycia(R) and iPneucia(R), reinforcing the company’s position in the vaccine sector.International Expansion Gains MomentumMeanwhile, amid intensifying competition in the domestic vaccine market, CanSinoBIO is accelerating its international expansion.Recently, the company announced that its manufacturing facility has passed the PIC/S GMP certification issued by Malaysia’s National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA). PIC/S is an internationally recognized framework for pharmaceutical inspection and certification, comprising regulatory agencies from over 50 countries. This certification not only confirms that Menhycia(R) and iPneucia(R) meet international-quality standards but also enhances the company’s prospects for entering additional global markets.In fact, the Company’s international presence is well established, with Menhycia(R) obtaining Indonesian registration and Halal certification since 2024.The company has also entered into multiple strategic partnerships abroad, covering commercialization, joint R&D, clinical trials, and localized production. Through a “technology transfer + local manufacturing” approach, CanSinoBIO is expanding its presence beyond product exports toward broader technology-based collaboration.Growth Catalysts Point to Potential Re-RatingOverall, the latest results suggest CanSinoBIO is moving through an inflection point, supported by clearer commercialization pathways.Yet, its current market valuation may not fully reflect its investment potential. Looking ahead, potential growth drivers include the expanded indication for Menhycia(R), continued ramp-up in iPneucia(R) sales, the infant DTcP vaccine currently under priority review, as well as further international market expansion. At the same time, China’s policy support for biopharmaceuticals as a strategic sector could provide a favorable backdrop for valuation.As earnings continue to improve and market expectations adjust, the company may see both earnings growth and a re-rating in valuation multiples. Against the backdrop of China’s rising focus on biopharmaceutical innovation, CanSinoBIO’s long-term investment case is increasingly difficult to ignore.

(SeaPRwire) -   尽管最近几周来自中东的令人不安的消息如潮水般涌来,但伊朗方面的一项提议仍引起了人们的关注:伊朗可能开始向使用人民币而非美元支付费用的油轮提供安全通行。 这一威胁源自一位不愿透露姓名的伊朗官员,引发了一连串警告,称德黑兰可能利用其对霍尔木兹海峡的控制权,不仅威胁世界获取石油的途径,还会颠覆以美元为基础的国际货币体系。通过打击石油美元,伊朗可能引发美元主导地位的瓦解,而美元主导地位本身就是美国权力的关键——或者说,这种论调是这么认为的。那些引用此类不祥情景的人设想了其他可能的危险,包括削弱美国对沙特阿拉伯和其他海湾石油出口国的安全保证。 Deutsche Bank分析师在上周的一份报告中警告称:“这场冲突可能被视为石油美元主导地位受到侵蚀的关键催化剂,以及石油人民币的开端”,这可能对“美元作为世界储备货币的角色产生重大的下游影响”。 战争的后果无疑将是严重的——但对美元而言则不然。美国货币的成功建立在坚实的基础之上,而伊朗的石油人民币举措似乎只是众多事件中的最新一例,在这些事件中,关于美元至高无上地位的危言耸听已被证明是错位的。即使石油美元体系减弱,也无关紧要:尽管世界石油市场巨大,但美元主导地位的原因在于别处。 美元的地位源于其他任何货币都无法比拟的两个特征。首先是美国金融市场的深度、广度和流动性,特别是国库券和债券市场,这些市场可以以巨大的成交量进行买卖,而不会导致价格大幅波动。这一属性在金融危机期间至关重要,当时企业正争先恐后地确保能够获得履行到期义务所需的现金。 第二个特征是美国开放的资本账户——即资金几乎不受阻碍地跨越美国边境流动的自由。许多国家拥有开放的资本账户,但重要的是,中国没有。而且没有一个国家,即使是开放的国家,拥有美国市场的深度和广度。 尽管多次让撰写讣告的作者落空,美元继续在国际交易中发挥与其在美国经济中所占份额极不相称的作用。它占各国央行持有的外汇储备的一半以上,在跨境贸易的出口发票以及国际银行贷款和债券发行中也占有类似份额。网络效应巩固了其地位;每个人都有使用美元的激励,因为其他许多人都在使用。 美元根深蒂固的程度在鲜为人知但巨大的外汇掉期市场的运作中最为明显。在这个市场上,全球公司——跨国公司、银行、保险公司、证券交易商和养老基金——以此规避汇率波动。根据国际清算银行(BIS)的数据,未偿付的掉期金额目前超过100万亿美元,其中约90%涉及美元。(涉及欧元、日元和其他货币的比例要低得多。)这反映了美元用于放贷、借贷和投资的无数方式。 那么,为什么这么多人痴迷于石油美元呢?这主要归结为一个仅基于事实的叙事。故事是这样的,在20世纪70年代中期,美国与沙特阿拉伯达成了一项交易,向统治的沙特家族提供军事援助和保护,以换取沙特承诺只接受美元支付石油,并将收益投资于美国国债。这为其他石油出口国树立了先例。 当时在实地的人们记忆中的情况则不同。当时获准在这个沙漠王国居住的少数外国人之一是大卫·马尔福德,他是一名年轻的投资银行家,于1975年被沙特阿拉伯货币局(SAMA,该国中央银行)聘为顾问。在他2014年的回忆录中,他回忆起一个由六名专业人士组成的小组如何在SAMA破旧的总部里艰难地管理“每每三十天增长5美元,后来是10亿美元的投资组合”,依靠一台单一、缓慢的电传机与外界沟通。 事实证明,石油当时已经主要以美元计价,正如马尔福德解释的那样,沙特阿拉伯别无选择,只能将其收入投入以美元计价的资产。根据后来成为美国财政部副部长和印度大使的马尔福德的说法,“在当时美国以外的大多数市场上,仅1000万美元的货币交易就足以撼动市场,因此我们在实现货币多元化方面存在实际限制。”此外,“购买德国[债券],或日元债券,或荷兰盾债券,或瑞士法郎纸币,根本不可能达到美国市场中常见的规模。” 换句话说,正是美国市场独特的深度、广度和流动性——而不是某种秘密交易——导致沙特人选择了美元。 石油美元是美元在20世纪70年代及随后的几十年中国际化的重要原因,因为石油出口国收到的大部分收入都存入了世界各地的银行美元账户,主要是在欧洲。但它们在今天全球美元市场中是一个不那么重要的因素。 旧金山金融服务公司Column的首席经济学家杰斯·霍弗森指出,虽然20世纪70年代石油销售收入的44%存入了离岸美元银行账户,但到2000年代初,这一数字已缩减至27%,她引用了国际货币基金组织(IMF)的研究。她估计,这一比例现在已降至个位数,因为如今石油出口国的收入被用于国内发展和主权财富基金,而这些基金又大量投资于国际股票市场和初创企业。 但即使石油美元退居二线,美元市场仍大幅飙升。霍弗森指出,2000年离岸美元信贷市场为2.5万亿美元,而去年已达到14.2万亿美元。“这告诉我们,美元在结构上非常有韧性,”她写道。 关于美元主导地位的争论将继续激烈,因为特朗普政府通过攻击美联储的独立性等举动动摇了投资者的信心。但除非遭受更严重的自残式打击,否则美元在可预见的未来仍将保持在货币排行榜的首位——即使伊朗要求用人民币支付石油款项。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

杰罗姆·鲍威尔表示,39万亿美元的国债“并非不可持续”,但警告其发展轨迹“将不会有好结局”。

(SeaPRwire) -   美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔周一对美国的财政健康状况做出了严峻的评估,他在哈佛大学的一堂经济学课上表示,尽管该国39万亿美元的债务负担目前并不危险,但国家正走在一条需要议员们紧急关注的道路上。 “债务水平是可持续的,”鲍威尔在与约400名学生进行的广泛对话中说道,“但这条道路是不可持续的。如果我们不尽快采取行动,最终不会有好结果。” 这些言论延续了鲍威尔多年来一贯的警告,即虽然债务水平在短期内是可控的,但财政轨迹绝对不是。他的评论恰逢伊朗战争导致全国平均汽油价格接近每加仑4美元,而这场战争似乎没有很快结束的迹象,尽管特朗普总统曾就潜在的敌对行动结束发表过言论。 鲍威尔谨慎地区分了债务存量及其轨迹,指出美国作为世界储备货币发行国和全球最深资本市场的所在地,能够像小经济体无法做到的那样,承受巨额债务负担。 这些言论是在一名学生询问美国债务规模何时会打破“自然偿还体系的临界点”时做出的。鲍威尔承认没有人确切知道那个临界点在哪里——他以日本为例,该国携带的债务与GDP之比远高于美国——但他表示,前进的方向是明确的。 “显而易见的是,我们的债务增长速度远快于经济增长速度;联邦政府债务的增长速度远远快于我们的经济,”鲍威尔说。“而且这个比例正在上升。从长远来看,这可以说是不可持续的定义。” 根据国会预算办公室的预测,到2026财年,国民债务的净利息支付预计将超过1万亿美元,几乎是2020年政府支付的3450亿美元的三倍。仅在本财政年度的前三个月,利息支付就达到了2700亿美元,已经超过了同期美国的国防开支。这些是实际的预算选择限制。但它们是限制,而不是崩溃——将两者混淆会扭曲政策讨论。根据国会预算办公室的预测,由公众持有的债务预计将从目前的占GDP的101%飙升至2036年的占GDP的120%,超过二战后的最高纪录。 寻求平衡 然而,鲍威尔并没有呼吁立即偿还债务。他认为,解决办法更为温和——如果存在政治意愿,也更容易实现。“我们不必偿还债务,”他说。“我们只需要实现基本平衡,并开始让经济的增长速度实际超过债务的增长速度。” 这位美联储主席谨慎地指出,财政政策明确不在他的管辖范围内。“这当然不是美联储的工作,”他说,并带着一丝干涩的幽默承认,他的警告往往在华盛顿无人听。“我基本上只局限于那些高层次的观点,而这些观点基本上被所有人忽略了。” 可以肯定的是,鲍威尔关于美国债务轨迹在纸面上不可持续的说法并没有错。但几十年来一直如此——而世界并没有因此而崩溃。此外,他提出的实现基本平衡、使经济增长速度超过债务增长速度的首选解决方案,至少可以说是困难的。实际上,要弥合美国政府目前规模的结构性基本赤字,意味着要么大幅提高收入;要么削减在医疗保险和社会保障等政治上爆炸性领域的开支;要么寄希望于历史上被认为是乐观的增长率。但正如鲍威尔指出的那样,美联储主席明确不负责解决这个问题。 鲍威尔言论的更广泛背景清楚地表明了对中央银行的风险。鲍威尔在他的任期内一直坚决捍卫美联储的政治独立性,在整个谈话中坚持认为,美联储必须“坚持本职工作”,抵制将其工具用于最大就业和物价稳定以外目的的压力。一场迫使美联储出手的财政危机将代表他一直警告的那种任务蔓延。 鲍威尔在描述他的美联储治理理念时,明确了这些界限。“总会有某个时候,一个政府会想说,‘用那个工具做别的事情会很好’,”他说。“这种情况经常发生。而我们必须处于一种不试图与任何政客或任何政府作对的境地,但我们必须小心,坚持我们正在做的事情。” 鲍威尔在警告债务可持续性问题时,却领导着一个其自身政策多年来使廉价借贷成为最容易的选择的机构,这其中也存在一种讽刺。正如摩根大通在其2026年展望中警告的那样,可能存在一条“一条不那么直接的道路来减少美国政府的债务负担”——部分原因是美联储政策与财政部融资需求之间的相互作用。Bridgewater的Ray Dalio将一种可能的结局描述为经济“心脏病发作”,政府投资因债务偿还义务而被挤出。这是一个严重的问题,但这是一种明智的财政改革的论据,而不是将鲍威尔在哈佛的言论视为五级火警。 前美联储主席珍妮特·耶伦在1月份也发出了类似的警告,她警告说,不断膨胀的债务可能会削弱美联储应对失业和通货膨胀的能力,同时指出立法者“没有充分认识到风险”。可信的声音的合唱是真实的。同样真实的是,这种合唱可能成为削减开支的掩护,而这些削减将不成比例地伤害最无力承受的美国人——这是鲍威尔的言论,无论多么诚实,都没有解决的权衡。 债务值得认真关注。但认真关注意味着诚实地权衡利弊,而不是仅仅从剑桥传来一句简洁的口号,告诉立法者“尽快”采取行动,却没有任何指导,也没有承认过于激进的行动可能与债务本身一样不稳定。 鲍威尔的美联储主席任期将于2026年5月届满。他的财政警告,不是在华盛顿的讲坛上发出的,而是对哈佛学生说的,可能成为他任期内最清晰的表述之一:债务水平是可以承受的,但前提是轨迹必须改变。“如果我们不尽快采取行动,最终不会有好结果,”他说。 在本报道中,记者使用生成式人工智能作为研究工具。编辑在发布前核实了信息的准确性。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

西班牙一女子获准安乐死,其父的法律抗议失败

(SeaPRwire) -   本报道涉及自杀内容。如果您或您认识的人有自杀念头,请联系自杀与危机生命线,电话是988或1-800-273-TALK(8255)。西班牙正为一名来自巴塞罗那的25岁女性的死亡事件所困扰,尽管其父亲多次提出法律异议,该女性仍在一系列悲剧事件后接受了安乐死。诺埃莉亚·卡斯蒂略·拉莫斯(Noelia Castillo Ramos)的案件引起了国际关注。2023年,她的父亲赫罗尼莫·卡斯蒂略(Gerónimo Castillo)针对西班牙多家法院批准其女儿接受安乐死的决定提起了法律诉讼。在保守天主教组织Abogados Cristianos(基督教律师协会)的协助下,卡斯蒂略先生用尽了向西班牙法院上诉的所有途径。这位父亲认为,女儿在心理上无法完全自主做出关于安乐死的决定,她需要更好的医疗和精神护理。他的法律诉讼最终于3月10日被位于法国斯特拉斯堡的欧洲人权法院驳回。卡斯蒂略·拉莫斯的案件只是欧洲一系列安乐死死亡事件中的最新一起,但这位巴塞罗那女性的死亡选择在全国范围内引发了强烈的情绪反应。卡斯蒂略·拉莫斯13岁时父母离婚,在被诊断出边缘性人格障碍(BPD)后,她在公共监护中心度过了近四年时间。边缘性人格障碍是一种严重的精神疾病,常导致重度抑郁、自杀意念和成瘾倾向。根据她自己在死前接受西班牙电视台Antena 3采访时的说法,尽管接受了强化精神护理,她至少尝试过两次自杀。第一次自杀时,她服用了几片药片并喝下了有毒的汽车液体,但被母亲救了下来,母亲带她去医院做了胃肠清洗手术。她离开家后情况变得更糟,在20岁左右时多次遭到性侵犯。首先,她在服用安眠药后被前男友性虐待。不久之后,在一家夜总会里,两名男子试图强奸她,这给她留下了深深的创伤。据报道,这导致她因精神症状恶化而进入护理院。在那里,她遭到三名男子的轮奸。随着精神状态的恶化,她从一栋楼的五楼跳下试图自杀。最初有多个报道和社交媒体帖子指出,袭击她的三名强奸犯是受国家监护的移民未成年人,但巴塞罗那报纸El Periódico称这一说法是虚假的。许多西班牙人对法院批准她接受安乐死的决定感到愤怒,指责总理佩德罗·桑切斯(Pedro Sánchez)领导的左翼政府没有为这名女孩提供足够的医疗护理、对大规模移民开放国家、缺乏治安管理,最终将安乐死作为解决她案件的方案。在她接受西班牙电视台采访后,包括钢琴家詹姆斯·罗兹(James Rhodes)在内的几位匿名捐赠者和公众人物提出,如果她决定不接受安乐死,将为她的治疗提供资金,并为她和她的家人提供物质援助。加泰罗尼亚高等法院向Digital证实,所有法律和医疗要求(包括加泰罗尼亚保障与评估委员会(CGEC)的支持意见)均已满足,没有任何因素阻止这名年轻女性接受所请求的安乐死。诺埃莉亚于当地时间周四下午6点在巴塞罗那的Hospital Sant Pere de Ribes去世。她是西班牙2021年通过的协助死亡法下,该国有史以来接受安乐死的最年轻的人。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

一名男子利用人工智能给3000名爱尔兰酒保打电话,以追踪健力士啤酒(Guinness)的价格。如今,酒吧正在降低价格以展开竞争

(SeaPRwire) -   你是否曾为一杯啤酒支付过高的价格?马特·科特兰就有过这样的经历,这让他下定决心不再重蹈覆辙。 具体来说,是针对科特兰选择的饮品:一品脱健力士黑啤。本月早些时候,这位37岁的男子在都柏林一家酒吧为一杯爱尔兰干世涛支付了7.80欧元(约合8.93美元)后,开始对全爱尔兰一品脱啤酒的平均价格感到好奇。 令他惊讶的是,爱尔兰中央统计局早在2011年就停止了对该国最受欢迎啤酒的价格追踪。这促使科特兰萌生了自己追踪价格的疯狂想法。 科特兰——一家人工智能初创公司的创始人——求助于人工智能来助他一臂之力,并提供声音。他利用AI语音生成平台ElevenLabs创造了"瑞秋"。这个声音以英国版真人秀节目《叛徒》的获胜者瑞秋·达菲为致敬对象,并配备了北爱尔兰口音。这个具备语音功能的AI代理在全岛拨打了3000多个电话,询问一品脱健力士的价格。 "我当时想,'好吧,我能不能直接用AI给爱尔兰的每家酒吧打电话,用聊天的方式问问他们?'"科特兰告诉媒体。"我抓住了这个线索,然后一直深挖下去,于是就有了现在的结果。" 利用这数千个电话积累的数据,他随后转向Anthropic的Claude来设计"健力士指数",他称之为全爱尔兰一品脱健力士的"活生生的"消费者价格指数。它还允许酒保和啤酒爱好者贡献和修改价格。 现在,科特兰可以看到他几周前那杯7.80欧元的啤酒与爱尔兰其他地区相比如何。本周一,平均价格约为6.01欧元(约合6.88美元),最常见的价格是5.50欧元(6.30美元)。 健力士母公司Diageo没有回应媒体的置评请求。爱尔兰各地的啤酒价格由酒吧老板独立设定。 AI模型正以前所未有的速度发展,甚至超越了最顶尖的科学家曾认为机器无法企及的基准。尽管许多人一想到AI可能导致的工作末日就不寒而栗,但另一些人正在利用这项技术来解答复杂的问题。有些人甚至用它来出售自己的房子。 尽管OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥尔特曼和Google总裁露丝·波拉特认为这项技术将解决世界上最复杂的问题,比如找到治愈癌症的方法,但AI也正在解决一些虽小却仍然重要的问题。 类人语音AI 科特兰的AI代理"瑞秋",是越来越多出现在电话另一端的语音AI之一。来自语音AI公司Regal的数据显示,客户发现AI与人类一样可信。 基于与语音AI代理进行的数百万次通话数据,人们与AI聊天的时间比与人类代表聊天的时间多出14%。他们的回复也长了22%,分享了一些他们通常会略过的细节。 科特兰表示他看到了类似的结果。他的AI在全爱尔兰进行的对话显示,大多数人没有意识到他们正在与AI交流。媒体查阅的部分对话记录清楚地表明了这一点。 "一品脱健力士的价格?25英镑。但如果你只是来小酌一杯,我可以5英镑卖给你,"北爱尔兰恩尼斯基林Doogies酒吧的一位酒保对瑞秋说。 "听着,通常是6.20欧元,但如果你买不起,我们请你喝一杯。我们会照顾你的,"爱尔兰基尔肯尼Malzards酒吧的一位酒保对AI说。 虽然健力士指数尚未导致价格发生剧烈变化,但科特兰表示他已经看到它产生了效果。他举例说,据报道一位酒吧老板将其健力士的价格降低了0.40欧元,然后自己更新了健力士指数上的条目。 科特兰希望将健力士指数的成功复制到其他产品上,也许是他原籍地美国的处方药,甚至是纽约市的一片披萨。 对科特兰来说,透明度在市场至关重要,因为他曾目睹价格剧烈波动,有时在相距仅100码的酒吧之间,价格差接近2欧元。 "如果你对一品脱健力士收费11欧元,那没问题,"他说。(根据健力士指数,爱尔兰最贵的一品脱是11欧元。)"但人们应该知道这个信息。" 你是否曾使用AI来应对重大人生决策,比如买房、谈判交易,或进行其他高风险的事情?我很想听听你的故事。请通过jake.angelo@.com与我联系。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

即使是亿万富翁也难保安全:今年股市暴跌已使杰夫·贝索斯和马克·扎克伯格的财富缩水750亿美元

(SeaPRwire) -   如果上周的市场暴跌让你担心你的 401(k) 或 Roth IRA 投资,那么你并不孤单——即使是超级富豪也感受到了痛苦。今年以来,全球最富有的 10 个人中有 6 个人经历了 300 亿至 600 亿美元的财富缩水,总计超过 2550 亿美元。 根据彭博亿万富翁指数,自 1 月份以来,杰夫·贝索斯的净资产已缩水 307 亿美元,而马克·扎克伯格的财富则减少了 463 亿美元。跌幅最大的是拉里·埃里森,他的财富缩水了 596 亿美元,降至 1880 亿美元——远低于他去年 9 月份超过埃隆·马斯克成为世界首富时的 4000 亿美元峰值。 对于亿万富翁来说,损失与市场密切相关。今年以来,Amazon 的股价下跌了近 11%,Meta 下跌了约 18%,Oracle 下跌了近 30%。“七巨头”中的每一家公司——包括 Alphabet、Apple、Tesla、Microsoft 和 Nvidia——的股价都已从 52 周高点下跌了两位数。 多种因素正在推动这一下跌,从地缘政治紧张局势(包括与伊朗的冲突)到对人工智能驱动的股市反弹能否达到高预期的怀疑日益加深。仅上周的抛售就将标普 500 指数推低了 3%,并将道琼斯指数拖入了修正区域,加剧了今年股市本已不稳定的局面。 尽管如此,并非所有亿万富翁都在亏损。埃隆·马斯克、迈克尔·戴尔以及沃尔顿家族的成员今年都在增加财富,这凸显了市场的影响是多么不均衡——即使是在最顶层。 亿万富翁的财富仍处于历史高位——专家表示,放弃财富可能并不像看起来那么容易 尽管近期市场动荡,全球亿万富翁的财富仍处于历史高位。根据 Oxfam 的数据,2025 年全球亿万富翁财富达到 18.3 万亿美元,当年增长了 16%,是过去五年平均增长速度的三倍。自 2020 年以来,亿万富翁的财富增加了 81%。 其中大部分增长集中在最顶层。根据美国联邦储备委员会的数据,最富有的 0.1% 的美国家庭拥有约四分之一的股票。相比之下,美国底层 50% 的人口仅拥有 1.1% 的股票。 日益扩大的差距正日益影响公众舆论。根据盖洛普的数据,1998 年,只有 45% 的美国人支持通过对最富有的人征收更高的税来重新分配财富;到 2022 年,这一比例已升至 52%。 不过,并非所有人都认同这种反对声音。本月早些时候,净资产估计为 28 亿美元的说唱歌手 Jay-Z 反驳了对亿万富翁的笼统批评。 他告诉 GQ:“这几乎就像是推卸责任。”“你们可以妖魔化这群人,而不去修复现有的、正在发挥作用的实际系统。” 尽管许多亿万富翁签署了“捐赠承诺”,承诺在生前或遗嘱中将至少 50% 的财富捐赠给慈善事业,但批评者认为,巨额财富在很大程度上仍未动用——并且难以有效地部署。 Greater Good Charities 的首席执行官 Liz Baker 表示,期望亿万富翁能够简单地放弃财富来解决复杂的全球问题,这忽视了这个过程的挑战性。 Baker 本月早些时候告诉 ,她表示:“我希望我能有十亿美元可以捐赠,但作为一个负责任地捐赠资金的人,是的,这很难,因为这伴随着巨大的责任。” “你不能只是去解决一个问题,然后说,‘这里有十亿美元,去解决这个问题吧’,”Baker 补充道。“这太复杂了。事情不是这样的。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

以色列官员称,伊朗的互联网中断正在掩盖袭击造成的破坏并压制异议

(SeaPRwire) -   以色列官员警告称,伊朗持续的互联网断网正以远超网络空间的方式塑造战场,既限制了对美国和以色列打击影响的了解,又加强了该政权对本国人口的控制。多名以色列消息人士表示,断网不仅限制信息流出伊朗,还阻止公民在政权压力日益增大之际进行内部组织。据以色列官员称,平民试图通过Starlink等卫星服务访问互联网的尝试已被干扰,同时数百名涉嫌使用此类终端的个人被拘留。“这是对真相的封锁,”一名以色列高级情报官员表示,“该政权向本国人民隐瞒现实。他们不想让伊朗人民看到自己遭受的打击有多严重。”该官员称,伊朗国内的信息真空正被国家控制的叙事所填补。“伊朗人只知道他们在伊斯兰政权控制的电视频道上看到的内容,这些频道虚假地展示美国和以色列被摧毁的画面,”这名以色列官员说。但影响不止于认知层面。断网也在影响实地行为。“这不仅关乎人们看到什么,还关乎他们能做什么,”该官员说,“切断互联网阻止人们交流、分享真实情况和组织活动。”这些限制出台之际,伊朗政权正面临外部军事压力和2026年初残酷镇压后持续的内部动荡。今年1月,安全部队向全国性抗议活动开火,有报道称几天内死亡人数可能超过3万人。在这种背景下,以色列官员表示,断网反映了该政权对再次发生动荡的恐惧。“伊朗人民是该政权最害怕的事情之一,”该官员说,“这就是为什么这次断网是如此优先的事项。”据以色列官员称,结果是一场战争在很大程度上在公众视野之外展开。“这是现代历史上最不为人所见的战争之一,因为几乎没有画面流出,”该官员说,“当断网解除时,政权遭受的全部损失将变得清晰。目前,我们只看到他们被重创程度的一小部分。”以色列消息人士还将断网与高价值军事目标直接联系起来。该官员称,“美国和以色列已消灭了MOIS的25名高级指挥官”,MOIS指的是伊朗情报部。“大多数人在他们聚集开会时的首轮打击中被消灭,”该官员说,并补充称目标人物参与了断网的管理。该官员确认Esmail Khatib是遇难者之一,称他是“签署断网命令的情报部长”。一名美国政府高级官员告诉Digital,“特朗普总统希望伊朗人民过上更好的生活——包括不受阻碍地获取信息。不幸的是,恐怖主义的伊朗政权有着长期残酷压迫本国人民的历史,但‘Epic Fury行动’继续达到或超过其所有基准,一旦这些行动完成,整个地区将更加安全和稳定。”美国分析人士表示,信息领域正成为冲突的中心战线。城市战争研究所(Urban Warfare Institute)执行主任John Spencer在X上写道:“伊朗多次关闭互联网接入以控制其人口。这种能力可以被逆转。”Spencer认为,外部行为体可以通过打击政权通信同时为平民提供连接来改变平衡。“破坏政权指挥网络,同时通过外部系统为民众提供连接。信息成为武器,”他写道,“叙事、协调和意识的控制权将从政权转移出去。”他还指出伊朗内部潜在的不稳定,注意到该国人口“超过8500万,年轻、城市化且反复不满”,抗议活动表明相当一部分人反对该政权。“到目前为止,平民大多被要求躲避,”Spencer写道,“这种情况可能会改变。”Digital联系了伊朗驻联合国代表团,该代表团回应称“无可奉告”。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

The Star secures key $550m refinancing agreement as it seeks a turnaround

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Star Entertainment Group has finalized a binding commitment for approximately AU$550 million (£285 million) in refinancing as it pursues a business turnaround. The Australian casino operator has entered into a binding commitment letter with funds managed by WhiteHawk Capital Partners to restructure its existing debt and enhance short-term liquidity. This agreement, signed on Friday, follows the company's H1 FY26 results released recently and is designed to stabilize its financial standing while supporting ongoing operations. The proposed refinancing involves a three-year facility totaling around $550 million, intended to fully repay existing group debt and provide additional liquidity. A minimum liquidity level of $50 million is stipulated for the initial 12 months post-financial close, increasing to $75 million between 12 and 18 months, and $100 million thereafter. Additional covenants include a minimum asset coverage ratio from December 2026 and a minimum EBITDA threshold from March 2027, along with standard reporting requirements and default clauses. An interest reserve account covering the first 12 months of interest payments will also be established as part of the financing structure. The completion of the refinancing is contingent upon several conditions, including regulatory approvals and the finalization of detailed financing documentation. A crucial condition is the successful disposal of The Star's stake in the Destination Brisbane Consortium (DBC), which is a component of the broader restructuring plan. The Star aims to finalize the refinancing by May 15, 2026, in line with conditions set by its existing senior lenders in February for a waiver. The Star seeking a path to recovery This refinancing marks a significant step for The Star as it works to alleviate immediate financial pressures and ensure sufficient liquidity for continued operations. Despite reporting a loss of approximately $75 million for the year in its FY25 results, the business remains optimistic about its future prospects. Bruce Mathieson Jnr, who took over as Chief Executive Officer in December, has outlined plans to reassess the operator's resourcing structure and strategy, and has indicated that the corporate office is undergoing streamlining. Results from February revealed that the latter half of 2025, during which Bally’s Corporation acquired a majority 56.7% stake, generated net revenue of $585 million, a 10% decrease year-on-year. By securing additional funding and restructuring its debt, The Star is aiming to establish a more stable financial foundation as it proceeds with asset sales and operational adjustments. While the refinancing offers immediate support, its successful conclusion depends on meeting regulatory and transactional milestones in the coming weeks. The company has also faced challenges on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) this year, with its shares declining by nearly 30% in 2026 to $0.12. Regulatory scrutiny in Australia is also contributing to the current difficulties faced by The Star, adding to the pressures on the business. However, securing this funding could signal the beginning of a turnaround for the 15-year-old company, which has established itself as a significant player in the Australian market.

Safe Staffing Requires New Models of Care, Not Just More Clinicians, Says Global Taskforce

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new international report released today by TruMerit™ calls for a fundamental redesign of healthcare workforce models to address global staffing shortages and strengthen patient care. The report, "Safe Staffing Through New Models of Care," presents a systems-based framework to help health leaders, regulators, and policymakers rethink how care teams are structured, how clinicians work together, and how technology can support safer and more sustainable care delivery.Developed by an international taskforce of health system leaders, regulators, academic experts, and clinical innovators, the report emphasizes that solving workforce shortages requires more than simply increasing the number of clinicians. Instead, it calls for modernizing care delivery models to enable health professionals to practice to the full extent of their training, expand interprofessional teamwork, and integrate digital health technologies."The global health workforce crisis cannot be solved simply by adding more clinicians," said Peter Preziosi, PhD, RN, CAE, FAAN, President and CEO of TruMerit. "Safe staffing requires a systems view of how care is delivered. This framework provides guideposts for policymakers and health system leaders to align workforce policy, service delivery, and outcomes - so care teams can meet patient needs safely, sustainably, and in ways that reflect local realities."The framework outlined in the report is organized around three interconnected domains:Systems and Inputs: regulatory policies, workforce infrastructure, and education systemsService Delivery: team-based care, hybrid staffing models, telehealth, and AI-supported workflowsOutputs and Outcomes: workforce sustainability, patient safety, improved access, and cost effectivenessTogether, these components create a continuous cycle of improvement that allows health systems to adapt to evolving population health needs. Healthcare systems around the world are facing unprecedented challenges, including aging populations, increasing rates of chronic disease, workforce burnout, and uneven distribution of healthcare workers. At the same time, advances in digital health, telemedicine, and data analytics are creating new opportunities to expand access to care and improve efficiency."The future of safe staffing depends on embracing innovation while protecting the integrity and well-being of the healthcare workforce," said Sylvain Trepanier, DNP, RN, CENP, FAONL, FAAN, Chief Nurse Executive at Providence and Chair of the Taskforce on Safe Staffing through New Models of Care. "This report demonstrates how health systems can move beyond traditional staffing models toward collaborative, technology-enabled care teams that empower nurses and other health professionals while improving patient outcomes."The report includes global case studies highlighting successful models of care from multiple countries, demonstrating measurable improvements in patient outcomes, workforce retention, and health system efficiency. It is intended to serve as a strategic resource for health system leaders, ministries of health, regulators, academic institutions, and global workforce policymakers.Download and read the report.About TruMeritTruMerit is a worldwide leader in healthcare workforce development with nearly 50 years of experience supporting the mobility of nurses and other healthcare workers.

Balkan countries join forces to form a new gambling trade body

(AsiaGameHub) -   A newly established trade body, composed of the largest associations in the region, will provide the Balkan gambling sector with unified international representation. Following a joint proposal from the Serbian and Bulgarian national gambling associations, a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed in Belgrade by a total of seven industry organizations. The signatories include Serbia’s AGOS and Bulgaria’s AOGGAB respectively, alongside Croatia’s HUPIS, Romania’s ROMSLOT, GPIS from Montenegro, UPIS RS from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia’s MAK GEJMING. Operating under the name Balkan Gaming Federation (BGF), these associations—representing gaming stakeholders such as online and land-based operators, suppliers, and manufacturers—will promote the region’s emerging markets while maintaining close internal collaboration to align their goals. The founding document outlines several areas of cooperation, including combating illegal gambling, fostering healthy competition, sharing best practices, engaging in legislative discussions, attracting investments, and organizing joint events. Within the broader European gambling sector, it is notable that several of the BGF’s founding associations are members of the European Gaming and Amusement Federation (EUROMAT). As a result, the BGF is expected to function as a regional cluster within EUROMAT, while retaining a distinct identity that specifically represents the Balkan region. Balkans as a hotbed of regulatory development The formation of the BGF coincides with a period of significant regulatory changes across the Balkan region. In Serbia, the government recently introduced a major legislative update allowing domestically licensed operators to offer jackpots, incentivizing players to use the regulated market and ultimately boosting channelization rates. Bulgaria is currently facing political pressure from within the government to further restrict the gambling sector by raising the minimum legal age from 18 to 21, less than two years after the nation’s gambling legislation underwent its most substantial overhaul in decades. Similar developments are evident in Romania, where the new President of the country’s gambling regulator has initiated rapid collaborative efforts with policymakers to revamp the gambling sector in favor of stronger player protection policies.In Montenegro, the gambling industry recently clashed with the government over a poorly executed attempt to alter the taxation system, which lacked supporting evidence and a clear assessment of its future impact. Croatia is in the process of rolling out a planned package of gambling reforms, with the first change being the launch of a new self-exclusion scheme. In North Macedonia, significant reforms appear imminent, driven by an outspoken Prime Minister who supports increased restrictions on the gambling industry. Meanwhile, discussions are intensifying in Bosnia and Herzegovina that could potentially lead to the abolition of the VAT exemption currently enjoyed by the gambling sector. Given the numerous concurrent regulatory changes, the establishment of an organization like the BGF to help navigate legislative complexities will certainly be a welcome step for all industry stakeholders involved in the Balkans.
