(SeaPRwire) - 长久以来，《星际迷航》的秘密叙事武器一直是自我反思。学者们喜欢将星际联邦和星际舰队的理想奉为圭臬，但矛盾的是，一些最有趣、最经久不衰的《星际迷航》故事，恰恰是在考验星际舰队利他主义观念的时候。无论是1987年《下一代》开头Q（约翰·德·兰西）将全人类送上审判席，还是《深空九号》中马奇游击队挑战星际舰队的殖民主义，《星际迷航》系列都热衷于讲述好人可能被描绘成坏人的故事。而在《星际迷航：星际舰队学院》第一季的季终集“卢比孔河”中，该系列再次，几乎是字面意义上地，将整个星际舰队及其崇高的理念置于全银河系的审判之下。在经历了近一个世纪为在大Burn的灾难中生存而采取可疑行动之后，32世纪的当代星际舰队在意识形态上已变得更接近过去的星际舰队。但努斯·布拉卡（保罗·吉亚玛提 饰）和维纳里·拉尔并不买账。季终集里，努斯将整个星际舰队告上银河系法庭，不仅指控其犯有战争罪，还有渎职罪。他说得有道理吗？而在审判星际舰队的同时，《星际舰队学院》是否也将《星际迷航》系列本身的理想置于了审判席上？《星际舰队学院》第一季的结局造就了一集经典的《星际迷航》审判剧集。| Paramount+“我认为《星际迷航》只有在被审视时才有趣，”亚历克斯·库兹曼告诉 Inverse。作为自2017年《发现号》以来所有现行电视剧版《星际迷航》的执行制片人，库兹曼对于如何平衡《星际迷航》的理念与其实际呈现颇有心得。“我认为对一种理念的盲目追随最终会导致暴政。从创作的角度看，有句老话说得好：反派是自己故事里的英雄。如果你真的遵循这一点，就意味着你必须理解反派对自己是谁以及如何走到今天这一步有着真实的视角。”最终，《星际舰队学院》并未试图让我们原谅努斯·布拉卡，但它确实鼓励观众同时持有两种想法：努斯可能是邪恶和残忍的，但同样真实的是，在大Burn期间，娜拉·阿凯（霍利·亨特 饰）确实做了一些可疑的事情，这使得阿妮莎·米尔（塔提阿娜·玛斯拉尼 饰）对星际舰队的不信任是合理的。而且，据《星际舰队学院》剧集主管诺加·兰道所言，阿妮莎能够不喜欢星际舰队，但最终仍然愿意将儿子托付给他们，这对故事的主题至关重要。“尽管在最后这几集里，她有充分的理由去憎恨联邦、不信任他们、认为他们是居心不良的行动者，但通过最后两集的事件，她能够意识到……他们的意图是好的，”兰道解释道。“她与娜拉之间得以进行的疗愈对她来说很重要，使她能够接受凯莱布[她的儿子]确实将在星际舰队度过非凡一生这一事实。”亚历克斯·库兹曼和诺加·兰道于2026年3月谈论《星际舰队学院》。| Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images兰道和库兹曼都同意《星际舰队学院》第一季有一个“圆满的结局”，但他们也指出，粉丝们不应期待第二季会是同类型的剧集。如果说有什么不同的话，第二季将挑战我们迄今为止对这些角色和情境的许多固有看法。“第二季会引入一个新角色和一些新角色，这确实会在我们的学员和学院本身产生连锁反应，”库兹曼透露。“这是我们在第一季就承诺过的一点，基于我们以及许多人的上大学经历：你入学时以为自己想做的事，后来会发现你其实想做的完全是另一回事，你将在第二季开始看到这种变化的痕迹。”随着第二季拍摄已完成，并且目前除了《星际舰队学院》第二季和《奇异新世界》第五季之外，没有其他新的《星际迷航》剧集在制作中，我们有理由相信流媒体时代的当代《星际迷航》正接近尾声，这可能意味着《星际舰队学院》在第二季后将不再继续。但这是真的吗？是否有第三季及以后的计划？“哦，当然有，”兰道毫不犹豫地说。“我们还有更多《星际舰队学院》的故事。我们还有更多这个故事要讲述。”《星际舰队学院》在 Paramount+ 流媒体平台播出。Phasers on Stun!: How the Making — and Remaking — of Star Trek Changed the WorldAmazon - 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。

(SeaPRwire) - 上周，一个涉嫌与伊朗政权有关联的新恐怖组织在欧洲出现。Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya（The Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right）已宣称对欧洲大陆多地的四起针对犹太目标的袭击负责。比利时列日的一座犹太教堂是周一爆炸袭击的首个目标。周五夜间，鹿特丹一座犹太教堂遭遇纵火袭击；次日傍晚，阿姆斯特丹一所犹太学校发生爆炸装置爆炸事件。多个消息来源将周三希腊一处犹太场所发生的另一起袭击与该组织关联起来，但未提供袭击目标或方式的具体细节。Joe Truzman（民主防御基金会高级研究分析师、FDD’s Long War Journal编辑）告诉Digital，当他看到该组织在周一袭击后发布的声明时，他“觉得有点业余”。Truzman表示，在该组织的视频开始出现后，他“意识到这个组织可能还有更多内幕”。他称，伊朗境内的战争很可能“迫使这个组织（无论幕后黑手是谁）开始发动这些袭击”。Truzman表示，他“怀疑这个组织是被人指使的”，且“背后有一个实体”。Truzman称，他怀疑是伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）本身所为，他表示该卫队“在欧洲一直很活跃”，并“试图消灭或暗杀异见人士”。不过他也不排除该组织是伊拉克民兵组织下属实体的可能性。除了预计Ashab al-Yamin会发动更多袭击外，Truzman还表示，他担心“（恐怖）视频在网上传播可能会迫使欧洲其他人实施反犹太袭击”。据Truzman称，Ashab al-Yamin的视频“开始受到关注，开始有了浏览量，人们正在看到这些视频。也许那些已经激进化或即将激进化的人，可能会受到这些视频的影响，进而实施反犹太袭击或针对犹太场所的袭击”。他表示，这些袭击“大多比较简陋，但情况可能会改变，他们可能会开始在白天繁忙时段针对人群”。截至目前，所有袭击都发生在夜间。以色列外交部在X平台发文称，该组织与德黑兰政权有关联。“一个与伊朗代理人有关联的圣战组织”应对这一系列袭击负责。他们指出，“伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）继续在全球范围内资助和输出恐怖主义”。观察人士越来越多地将这些袭击与伊朗境内的战争联系起来。世界犹太人大会（World Jewish Congress）在X平台上对Ashab al-Yamin发出警告，称“安全分析师认为，该组织可能是伊朗不断扩大的代理人网络的一部分，其活动范围远超出中东地区”。该大会呼吁各国政府“认真对待这一威胁，摧毁这些袭击背后的网络，确保犹太社区能够安全生活和礼拜”。以色列散居事务部长Amichai Chikli称这些袭击是“令人不安的模式的一部分”。他解释说，“与伊朗轴心有关联的恐怖网络正试图将其活动范围扩大到欧洲城市和犹太社区”。美国国务院未回应有关其是否此前一直在追踪Ashab al-Yamin，或是否计划向出国旅行的美国人发出警告以避开犹太机构的问题，但美国驻荷兰大使馆周一发布的警报警告称：“继荷兰及其他欧洲主要城市近期发生针对性爆炸事件后，美国驻荷兰使团提醒美国公民保持良好的个人安全习惯，并提高情境意识，这与美国国务院近期发布的《全球谨慎警报》一致。”该警报补充道：“正如《荷兰旅行建议》中所指出的，恐怖组织仍在策划在荷兰发动可能的袭击。恐怖分子可能在几乎没有或完全没有预警的情况下发动袭击，目标包括旅游景点、交通枢纽、市场/购物中心、地方政府设施、酒店、俱乐部、餐厅、礼拜场所、公园、大型体育和文化活动、教育机构、机场及其他公共区域。”以色列国家安全委员会近期警告其出国旅行的公民，要隐藏可能表明其为以色列人或犹太人的物品，并“避免前往被认定为犹太或以色列的场所”——这是在3月初多伦多犹太教堂发生三起枪击案的第一起之后发出的警告。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。

The Singapore-headquartered platform helps brands improve content reach and conversion in the era of short-form video and interest-based e-commerce.
SINGAPORE – March 16, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As short-form video continues to reshape how information spreads and how consumers engage with brands, efficient collaboration between brands and creators has become increasingly important. Hello IP was built to address this need.
Hello IP is a content distribution platform focused on social and interest-based e-commerce. By enabling brands to upload ready-made video content and distribute it through local creators across social platforms, Hello IP helps reduce the complexity of traditional creator collaborations, improve campaign efficiency, and create more sustainable monetization opportunities for creators.
Under traditional creator marketing models, brands often face lengthy workflows that include influencer sourcing, repeated negotiation, contract signing, sample shipping, content review, and payment settlement. These processes can be slow, costly, and difficult to manage, especially in cross-border campaigns where shipping risks, inconsistent content quality, and uncertain outcomes remain common challenges.

SINGAPORE, Mar 16, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a world where living costs continue to rise, making your money work harder for you is a necessity. While a standard savings account offers a base interest rate, a bonus savings account allows you to earn higher interest by meeting specific conditions.By understanding the mechanics of these accounts, you can turn your idle cash into a productive asset. This article explores the features of these accounts and how they can help you reach your financial goals sooner.What is a Bonus Savings Account?A bonus savings account is a type of bank account that rewards you with higher interest rates when you meet specific conditions. Unlike a basic account that pays a flat, low rate regardless of your activity, these accounts are designed to encourage healthy financial habits.Generally, your total interest is split into two parts: base interest and bonus interest. The base interest is what you earn on every dollar, regardless of your activity. The bonus interest is an additional percentage added when you fulfil certain requirements, such as increasing your monthly balance or spending on a linked credit card.How a Bonus Savings Account Helps You Earn MoreThe primary appeal of a bonus savings account is the ability to earn interest rates that are often several times higher than standard savings accounts. Here is how they help you maximise your earnings:1. Rewarding Consistent Savers: Many accounts reward you for not spending your money. For example, some accounts offer bonus interest if your monthly average balance increases compared to the previous month. This encourages you to keep your funds in the account rather than withdrawing them for impulsive purchases, allowing compounding to work in your favour.2. Consolidating Your Financial Activities: Banks often use a bonus savings account to reward loyalty. You might earn extra interest by linking your salary credit or meeting a minimum spend on the bank's credit cards. By centring your financial activities around one account, you can unlock higher tiers of interest than with a basic savings plan.3. Tiered Interest Structures: Most bonus accounts use a tiered system. This means that as your balance grows, the interest rate on specific brackets of your funds increases. This structure is particularly beneficial for those with growing savings, as it allows larger balances to earn higher rates.Common Requirements to Unlock Bonus InterestTo make the most of a bonus savings account, you need to understand the typical requirements. Banks in Singapore usually look for the following:Balance Growth: Maintaining or increasing your balance month on month.Salary Credit: Having your monthly take-home pay credited directly into the account via your employer.Spend Requirements: Using a linked debit or credit card for a minimum amount (often SGD 500) each month.Investing or Insuring: Purchasing eligible insurance or investment products through the bank.Is a Bonus Savings Account Right for You?While the high interest rates are attractive, a bonus savings account is most effective when it aligns with your natural spending and saving habits.If you are someone who saves a portion of your income every month and rarely withdraws from your reserves, an account that rewards balance growth is an excellent fit. However, if you prefer an account that doesn't require you to track credit card spending or investment tiers, you may want to consider a simpler savings account.Strategies to Maximise Your InterestTo ensure you never miss out on your bonus interest, consider these simple steps:Automate Your Savings: Set up a standing instruction to move a fixed amount into your bonus savings account every month. This ensures your balance grows consistently without you having to remember to do it manually.Track Your Monthly Average Balance: Be mindful of the mid-month balance rather than just the balance on the last day of the month. Large withdrawals in the middle of the month may lower your average balance.Consolidate Spending: If your account requires a minimum card spend, try to put all your essential costs, such as groceries, transport, and utilities, on that specific card to hit the target easily.Final ThoughtsA bonus savings account can be a useful tool for improving returns on your cash savings. It transforms the act of saving from a passive habit into a rewarding strategy. By choosing an account that fits your lifestyle and staying disciplined with the requirements, you can help your hard-earned money grow at a higher rate.Disclaimer: This article is for general information only and does not have any regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any specific person.

Its China Phase III clinical trial has demonstrated positive results. The primary endpoint of the haemoglobin (Hb) mean change from baseline to Week 7-9 has indicated that, Desidustat is more effective than placebo in increasing Hb level. Results from the extension study demonstrate that the Product can maintain Hb level within the target range over the long term with acceptable safety. In addition, the Product significantly reduces hepcidin levels and ameliorates iron metabolism disorders.
There is still a large unmet need in the treatment of anaemia in CKD patients in China. It is estimated that there are more than 120 million CKD patients in China[1]. Anaemia is one of the frequent complications of CKD, which exhibits a progressively increasing incidence with disease progression. A survey in China showed that the prevalences of anaemia in patients at CKD stage 1 to 5 were 22.0%, 37.0%, 45.4%, 85.1%, and 98.2%, respectively[2]. The target-achieving rate (the Hb level reaching the target value (110~120g / L)) has increased to 51.5% for haemodialysis CKD patients with anaemia[3], but is still only 8.2% for anaemia patients in non-dialysis CKD[4]. The Product is administrated orally, thus expecting to improve the treatment compliance of patients and to meet the unmet treatment needs in the field of CKD anaemia.
Desidustat Tablets have been approved for marketing in India.

Amid the broader trend of consumption upgrading, the menswear market is undergoing structural differentiation, with mid-to-high-end segments such as business casual and smart casual becoming core growth drivers. The industry is accelerating its transition from 'quantity-driven competition' towards a stage of high-quality competition centered on 'innovation, quality and sustainable development. China Lilang deepened its presence in the menswear market with its differentiated brand matrix, building a diversified business portfolio through the 'LILANZ' core collection, the 'LESS IS MORE' smart casual collection and the 'MUNSINGWEAR' sports line, to comprehensively meet market demand for high-quality, diverse apparel. At the same time, the Group optimized its omni-channel marketing layout, strengthened online-offline operational synergies, actively expanded into emerging online platforms while accelerating the DTC model offline, and simultaneously advanced its internationalization strategy to enhance brand influence and operational efficiency across multiple dimensions.”During the year, the Group's revenue increased by 11.5% year-on-year to RMB4.07 billion. Revenue from the smart casual and other collections surged by 28.4%, primarily driven by a significant increase in average sales per store and the outstanding performance of new retail channels. Revenue from the core collection grew by 6.0%, mainly due to the initial operational efficiencies generated during the year following the Group's transition to a DTC model after reclaiming distribution rights from distributors starting last year.Gross profit margin increased by 1.9 percentage points year-on-year to 49.6%, mainly due to the increase in average unit price as a result of a higher proportion of direct-to-retail sales, coupled with a smaller one-off deduction from revenue arising from the recovery of distribution rights. Profit attributable to equity shareholders was RMB502 million (2024: RMB460 million), representing an increase of 9.0%. The profit margin attributable to equity shareholders decreased by 0.3 percentage points year-on-year to 12.6%. Earnings per share increased by 9.0% to RMB41.96 cents.The Board has recommended a final dividend of HK13 cents per share (2024: HK9 cents) and a special final dividend of HK3 cents per share (2024: HK3 cents). Together with the interim dividend already paid, the total dividend for the year amounted to HK32 cents per share, maintaining a stable dividend payout ratio.During the year, the Group adhered to its core strategy of ensuring a well-differentiated brand matrix and deepening its presence in the menswear market. The "LILANZ" core collection continued to consolidate its competitive advantage in the traditional menswear market. By optimizing product structure and deepening regional channel deployment and penetration, it further enhanced brand awareness and market share in key markets. Having successfully completed the repurchase and transformation of distribution rights in Northeast China and Jiangsu Province last year, the Group accelerated channel innovation throughout the year, subsequently acquiring the operating rights of first-tier distributors in Shandong Province and Chongqing City. The "LESS IS MORE" smart casual collection, targeting younger consumers, continued to operate under a fully direct-to-retail model, with its store opening strategy focused on shopping malls, which is preferred by consumers to enhance the consumer experience through a precisely tailored store image. As at the end of December 2025, there were 2,446 stores for the core collection and 371 stores for the smart casual and other collections, a total of 2,817 stores with a net increase of 44 stores.During the year, the Group continued to focus on opening stores in prime locations within premium shopping malls and outlet centers, attracting customers and boosting sales through distinctive brand-specific renovations. As at 31 December 2025, the number of stores located in shopping malls and outlet stores increased to 1,135 (31 December 2024: 1,036).The Group completed strategic transformation of its new retail business, upgrading it from an inventory clearance channel into a major new product sales platform. Revenue from this segment recorded a significant increase of 25% during the year. While continuing to strengthen its presence on mature sales platforms like Tmall, JD.com and TikTok, the Group has also expanded into emerging channels such as Pinduoduo, Wechat Channels and Poizon, creating a diversified online sales network altogether. The Group made full use of social platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Weibo to continuously produce high-quality content to strengthen its content-driven e-commerce strategy. This approach not only deepened the emotional connection with consumers but also effectively expanded the young customer base, opening new growth opportunities for the new retail business.Regarding the "Multi-brands and Internationalization" development strategy, the premium golf apparel brand "MUNSINGWEAR", a key element of the Group's multi-brand strategy, successfully completed its transaction closing in the first half of the year. In the second half, it opened its first batch of physical stores in locations including Chongqing and Jinjiang, further enriching the Group's diversified brand portfolio and premium product lines. Meanwhile, the Group's plan to open its first store in Malaysia was successfully implemented and the first stores commissioned in May. In November, it opened the world's first "Future Retail" concept flagship store at Pavilion Bukit Jalil, a core business district in Kuala Lumpur. By the end of December 2025, 4 stores had been opened. The smooth operation of all stores not only completed the initial layout in the Southeast Asian market but also laid an important foundation for the Group’s subsequent expansion across the region.During the year, the Group adhered to its core design philosophy of "Simplicity but Not Simple", deepening proprietary research and development across its industrial chain. It implemented a core premium product strategy, focusing on fabric innovation, craftsmanship upgrades and standard-setting to strengthen its competitive advantage of "Technology-Empowered Products", while transforming its technological expertise into industry-wide reference standards.Facing a market environment where opportunities and challenges coexist, China Lilang will maintain a prudent yet optimistic stance and continue to pursue its core strategy of "Multi-brands and Internationalization". It will advance channel reforms, strengthen product innovation and enhance operational efficiency, to bolster its leading position in China's menswear industry. The Group plans for a net increase of approximately 50 to 100 stores in 2026, with the focus remaining on premium shopping malls and outlets. At the same time, the Group will further consolidate the operating results of the regions that have transitioned and explore the possibility of rolling out the DTC model in other suitable regions to deepen market control and elevate consumer experience.In the new retail business, the Group will continue to advance its online channel layout, aiming to achieve over 15% growth in new retail sales in 2026. Through content-focused e-commerce and targeted live streaming, the Group seeks to reach more young customers and drive overall sales growth of 10%.The Group will steadily advance the business development of "MUNSINGWEAR", planning to continue expanding its physical store network in the Chinese Mainland and expanding its online sales channels to achieve online-offline synergy.

Building upon the solid foundation established in 2025, China Lilang will focus on the development of its 'LILANZ' core collection and 'LESS IS MORE' smart casual collection, while deepening its new retail strategy and advancing multi-brand and overseas businesses, enabling it to advance towards a new stage of growth characterized by improvements in both quality and efficiency.

Kawasaki and Tokyo, Japan, Mar 16, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Japan Limited and Teikyo University Hospital today announced the start of a joint proof of concept aimed at strengthening regional medical collaboration. The initiative, which commenced on March 16, focuses on developing new information analysis and patient management mechanisms utilizing medical administration systems and electronic health record data. This will facilitate the prompt admittance of severely ill patients requiring hospitalization or surgery and a smooth transition back to primary care after discharge.This joint experiment will implement the following initiatives for Teikyo University Hospital's regional medical collaboration operations:1. Digitalization of Patient Workflow from Referral Acceptance to Discharge CoordinationBy introducing AI-OCR and electronic paper for referral reception and discharge coordination, information from outside the hospital will be digitized. This will be seamlessly integrated with electronic health records and regional medical collaboration information systems, aiming to eliminate duplicate data entry and improve overall operational efficiency.2. Verification of the Health Care Management Platform for Data-Driven Strategic Patient AcquisitionBased on data from medical accounting systems and electronic health records, Health Care Management Platform, an offering under Fujitsu Limited's Uvance business model which addresses societal challenges, will be used to visualize and analyze trends in referred patients and collaborating facilities in a timely manner. This will enable the identification of facilities where collaboration should be strengthened, and actual visits to these facilities will be conducted to enhance regional collaboration. Visit records and results will be registered and accumulated in Salesforce's Agentforce 360 Platform, aiming to utilize this information for analyzing referral performance and formulating strategies that comprehensively address the needs of collaborating facilities.Figure: Patient workflow in regional medical collaboration and a joint proof of conceptThrough this initiative, Teikyo University Hospital aims to reduce the administrative workload of its Medical Collaboration Office, which handles regional collaboration tasks, by 30%, while contributing to the provision of high-quality and prompt medical care and the optimization of medical resources for patients.Moving forward, both parties will expand the scope of integration between this system and electronic health records to centrally manage the patient workflow, including treatment processes after referral acceptance. This will contribute to providing medical care to patients at more appropriate times and supporting decision-making for healthcare professionals, thereby improving hospital management and fostering regional medical collaboration.Fujitsu Japan will leverage the insights from this joint experiment to enhance accuracy and add new functionalities to its offerings, supporting Teikyo University Hospital's digital transformation (DX) and the promotion of digital hospitals. Furthermore, under Uvance, Fujitsu Japan will drive the transformation of medical practice workflows through data and AI, advancing the establishment of a sustainable healthcare delivery system.Teikyo University Hospital will systematize this mechanism as a model for realizing a data-driven regional healthcare system and promote its expansion to other medical institutions and regions. Through this initiative, the hospital also aims to further enhance the role and value of its Medical Collaboration Office, which serves as the hospital's public face, and build a foundation for the office to function as a hub for regional medical care, moving beyond its traditional role of handling referral reception and coordination.BackgroundJapanese healthcare faces a challenging management environment due to a declining birthrate, an aging population, and rising material costs, while medical needs are becoming increasingly complex due to advancements in medical technology. To ensure sustainable healthcare, it is essential to strengthen collaboration between primary care physicians and specialists, ensuring patients are referred at appropriate times, receive advanced treatment, and are then referred back to their primary care physicians for ongoing care. This kind of regional medical collaboration is essential.The Japanese government is also promoting medical DX and functional differentiation and collaboration within regions, establishing evaluations and incentives in the fiscal year 2026 medical fee revision.As a specialized hospital in the Itabashi Ward region, Teikyo University Hospital accepts over 30,000 referred patients annually and has actively promoted regional collaboration through continuous lectures and visits to medical institutions. Regarding referred patient acceptance, the hospital receives approximately 200 calls daily from patients and medical institutions, utilizing up to eight lines at a time. A key challenge has been the time and burden placed on reception staff to coordinate referred patient acceptance, especially for urgent referrals and transfer requests from other medical institutions, often requiring consultation with doctors, leading to waiting times for outpatient appointments and hospitalization.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation. As the digital transformation partner of choice for customers around the globe, our 113,000 employees work to resolve some of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Our range of services and solutions draw on five key technologies: AI, Computing, Networks, Data & Security, and Converging Technologies, which we bring together to deliver sustainability transformation.
