Taliban Menolak Kekhawatiran PBB atas UU yang Melarang Perempuan Menunjukkan Wajah dan Suara di Tempat Umum

(SeaPRwire) - Taliban pada hari Senin menolak kekhawatiran dan kritik atas undang-undang baru tentang kejahatan dan kebajikan yang melarang perempuan di Afghanistan untuk menampakkan wajah dan berbicara di tempat umum.Roza Otunbayeva, yang memimpin misi PBB di negara itu, UNAMA, mengatakan pada hari Minggu bahwa undang-undang tersebut memberikan "visi yang menyedihkan" bagi A. Dia mengatakan undang-undang tersebut memperluas "pembatasan yang tidak dapat ditolerir" pada hak-hak perempuan dan anak perempuan, dengan "bahkan suara perempuan" di luar rumah tampaknya dianggap sebagai pelanggaran moral.Zabihullah Mujahid, juru bicara utama pemerintah Taliban, dalam sebuah pernyataan memperingatkan terhadap "kesombongan" dari mereka yang mungkin tidak familier dengan hukum Syariah Islam, khususnya non-Muslim yang mungkin menyatakan keraguan atau keberatan."Kami mendesak pemahaman menyeluruh tentang undang-undang ini dan pengakuan yang hormat terhadap nilai-nilai Islam. Untuk menolak undang-undang ini tanpa pemahaman seperti itu adalah, menurut kami, ekspresi kesombongan," katanya.Afghanistan pada hari Rabu lalu mengeluarkan serangkaian undang-undang pertama di negara itu untuk mencegah kejahatan dan mempromosikan kebajikan.Mereka termasuk persyaratan bagi seorang wanita untuk menutupi wajah, tubuh, dan suaranya di luar rumah. Mereka juga melarang gambar makhluk hidup, seperti foto."Setelah puluhan tahun perang dan di tengah krisis kemanusiaan yang mengerikan, rakyat Afghanistan pantas mendapatkan yang lebih baik daripada diancam atau dipenjara jika mereka terlambat beribadah, melirik anggota lawan jenis yang bukan anggota keluarga, atau memiliki foto orang yang mereka cintai," kata Otunbayeva.Menanggapi pernyataan UNAMA, Mujahid menambahkan, "Kami harus menekankan bahwa kekhawatiran yang diungkapkan oleh berbagai pihak tidak akan menggoyahkan Emirat Islam dari komitmennya untuk menegakkan dan menerapkan hukum Syariah Islam."Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

3 tahun sejak pemboman di Abbey Gate, pemerintahan Biden melihat konsekuensi dari ‘kesalahan kebijakan luar negeri terbesar’

(SeaPRwire) - Warga Amerika pada hari Senin mengenang peringatan tiga tahun pengeboman ISIS-K di Gerbang Abbey di Bandara Internasional Hamid Karzai di tengah , yang mengakibatkan kematian 13 tentara AS dan 170 warga Afghanistan. Pemerintahan Biden telah menuai kecaman yang luar biasa atas penarikan yang kacau dan beberapa orang berpendapat bahwa itu bahkan mendorong negara-negara seperti Rusia dan Iran untuk mengambil langkah agresif dalam melawan Barat. "Itu adalah kesalahan kebijakan luar negeri yang paling penting dan serius, menurut saya, dari pemerintahan Biden, dan itu memicu serangkaian peristiwa yang kita hadapi saat ini," kata pada hari Senin. Mantan jenderal Angkatan Darat itu mengatakan bahwa dia telah diberitahu oleh orang-orang "di ruangan" dengan Presiden Biden bahwa, meskipun ada peringatan tentang pergerakan Taliban di seluruh Afghanistan, presiden "dengan menantang" mendorong maju dengan rencana AS untuk menarik diri dari Afghanistan.Keane berpendapat bahwa keputusan untuk tidak meninggalkan pasukan AS di Afghanistan membuka pintu banjir bagi konflik global lainnya seperti invasi Rusia ke Ukraina, dan agresi Iran di Timur Tengah, khususnya terhadap Israel. "Mereka melihatnya sebagai kelemahan politik yang besar di pihak kita," kata Keane. "Mereka telah mengejar kita sejak saat itu untuk memanfaatkan kerentanan ini, karena mereka jelas melihat peluang bagi diri mereka sendiri."Pengambilalihan Taliban atas Afghanistan telah karena organisasi teroris tersebut telah mendapatkan pengaruh bahkan dalam persiapan kesepakatan Februari 2020 antara pemerintahan Trump dengan Taliban, di mana AS setuju untuk menarik semua pasukan pada Mei 2021.Biden, yang memperpanjang tanggal penarikan kembali ke Agustus 2021, mengatakan dia bertanggung jawab atas serangan Gerbang Abbey, meskipun dia juga menyalahkan pendahulunya karena pertama kali menarik AS ke dalam kesepakatan yang buruk dengan Taliban."Kami menghadapi satu dari dua pilihan: mengikuti perjanjian pemerintahan sebelumnya dan memperpanjangnya untuk memiliki - atau memperpanjangnya untuk lebih banyak waktu bagi orang-orang untuk keluar; atau mengirim ribuan pasukan lagi dan meningkatkan perang," katanya dalam . "Bagi mereka yang meminta dekade ketiga perang di Afghanistan, saya bertanya: Apa kepentingan nasional yang vital? "Sudah waktunya untuk mengakhiri perang ini," tambahnya. Tetapi pemerintahan tersebut masih menghadapi penolakan yang keras hingga saat ini, termasuk calon presiden Wakil Presiden Kamala Harris - yang mengokohkan perannya dalam penarikan AS dengan mengatakan kepada CNN dalam sebuah wawancara tahun 2021 bahwa dia adalah "yang terakhir" sebelum dia membuat keputusannya. "Itu adalah kesalahan kebijakan luar negeri terbesar dalam hidup kita," mengatakan pada hari Senin. "Itu menyebabkan serangkaian peristiwa lain yang mendorong musuh kita di seluruh dunia dan memungkinkan Taliban untuk mengambil alih kembali."Kami secara efektif mengorbankan 20 tahun upaya kami dan prajurit dan wanita yang bertugas di sana. Itu adalah hal yang mengerikan," tambahnya.Biden pada hari Senin merilis pernyataan untuk memperingati 13 anggota layanan yang tewas selama serangan Agustus 2021 itu dan mengatakan, "Mereka mewujudkan yang terbaik dari siapa kita sebagai bangsa: berani, berkomitmen, tidak mementingkan diri sendiri. Dan kita berutang kepada mereka dan keluarga mereka hutang suci yang tidak akan pernah bisa kita lunasi sepenuhnya, tetapi tidak akan pernah berhenti berusaha untuk memenuhinya.""Hari ini, perang terlama kita telah berakhir. Tetapi komitmen kita untuk mencegah serangan terhadap tanah air kita - atau rakyat kita - tidak akan pernah," lanjut Biden. "Kami akan melakukannya tanpa mengerahkan ribuan pasukan Amerika untuk perang darat di luar negeri."Harris juga merilis pernyataan yang mengakui peringatan serangan di Gerbang Abbey dan menegaskan kembali dukungannya untuk keputusan Biden untuk menarik diri."Presiden Biden membuat keputusan yang berani dan tepat untuk mengakhiri perang terlama Amerika," katanya. "Pada hari yang khidmat ini, marilah kita bersatu sebagai satu bangsa untuk menghormati mereka yang telah gugur tiga tahun yang lalu. "Untuk mengenang mereka, marilah kita mendedikasikan kembali diri kita untuk tujuan yang mereka korbankan: untuk melindungi dan mempertahankan demokrasi terbesar di Bumi, Amerika Serikat," tambahnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

The results of these efforts are maintaining our industry leadership, helping to navigate the challenges and capture the opportunities in the current business environment, and facilitating our ongoing growth.”Revenue from the Building Services segment grew by 20.8% to HK$2,111 million during the Period, while its contracts-in-hand amounted to HK$5,585 million as at 30 June 2024.

New Technology for Redacting Digitally Signed Documents, Developed Jointly by Hitachi and AIST, Has Been Adopted as an ISO/IEC International Standard JCN Newswire

New Technology for Redacting Digitally Signed Documents, Developed Jointly by Hitachi and AIST, Has Been Adopted as an ISO/IEC International Standard

TOKYO, Aug 26, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501, "Hitachi") and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (“AIST”) today announced that their jointly developed technology for redacting digitally signed documents (“redactable signature” technology) has passed final approval by the Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), gaining adoption in international standard ISO/IEC 23264-2. The two newly standardized schemes provide means for ensuring the authenticity (absence of falsification) of digitally signed documents when they are made public in partially redacted form.The redactable signature schemes use digital technology to realize partial disclosure of documents while enabling detection of unauthorized alteration or falsification. The two newly standardized schemes provide an efficient means for partial disclosure of public documents, while enabling the authenticity of data related to product development, in fields such as pharmaceuticals and finance, to be guaranteed, without loss of data use convenience, even when adocument has undergone sanitization (anonymization) for privacy protection reasons. They are thus expected to contribute toward a safe data-utilization society.Background to the StandardizationNow that digital technology has come into wide use, proceedings that used to involve printed documents are being replaced by digital processes, giving all the more importance to digitalsignature technology able to detect data alterations or falsification and guarantee data authenticity. As a current way ofofficial document management, it is sometimes necessary to redact (erase or blank out) certain information for privacy or other reasons before publication or disclosure. With conventional digital signing technology, however, the act ofredaction itself is regarded as falsification, invalidating the digital signature and making it difficult to guarantee the authenticity of a redacted document.In addressing this issue, ISO/IEC JTC 1*1 drew up international standard ISO/IEC 23264, “Information security—Redaction of authentic data” relating to the application of digital signature technology, with its expanding uses. To promote this standardization, Hitachi and AIST, starting some twenty years earlier, engaged in pioneering research anddevelopment on a digital signature technology for realizing redaction of documents by digital means (redactable signature technology). As a result of this joint development, two redactable signature schemes (MHI06 and MIMSYTI05) were adopted in international standard ISO/IEC 23264-2.Features of the Standardized TechnologyUsing the redactable signature schemes, a signer can set redactable data blocks in advance at the time of creating adocument and set each block as either disclosable or non-disclosable before public release. Moreover, the digital signature applied when a document is created can be used to verify a document that is partially non-disclosable, and to confirm that the document has undergone only legitimate editing. Furthermore, the redactable signature schemes adopted in the new ISO/IEC 23264-2 standard each have different additional security properties; and in the case of MHI06 and MIMSYTI05 jointly developed by Hitachi and AIST, both have the property of allowing documents to be edited multiple times and are able to control the disclosure scope divided into multiple levels.MHI06 has the property of enabling multiple signed documents or data to be merged, within the scope specified in advance (Mergeability), and enabling the information in redacted fields to be hidden (Undetectability of redactions). This scheme is suited to uses in which the scope of signed data to disclose should be dynamically and efficiently changed, depending on the privacy protection policy and status.MIMSYTI05 can add redactable signature functionality using any kind of digital signing method. It can be combined not only with such methods as RSA signature*2 or ECDSA*3 but also with quantum-safe signature methods. In addition, this scheme is suited to applications where documents are sorted by whether they contain redactions since it can detect the fact of redactions.Looking AheadThe redactable signature schemes were initially developed as digital technology for protection of public documents but are expected to find wider application not limited to that purpose, including for verification of the originality of partially released data. By combining this technology with sanitization technology, for example, it is expected to find wide use as technology achieving both privacy protection and data authentication. Hitachi and AIST will continue engaging in research and development on redactable signature and other cryptographic technologies, along with promoting their implementation in products and services, thereby contributing to realization of a safe digital society.(1) ISO/IEC JTC 1: JTC 1: Joint Technical Committee 1 of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)(2) RSA signature: A digital signature method relying for its security on the difficulty of integer factorization problem(3) ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm): A digital signature method relying for its security on the difficulty of the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problemAbout Hitachi, Ltd.Hitachi drives Social Innovation Business, creating a sustainable society through the use of data and technology.

The Group’s OEM sales revenue increased by approximately 19.3% to approximately HK$438.8 million for 6M2024.

Toni Bou Wins 18th Consecutive FIM Trial World Championship Title

TOKYO, Aug 26, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Repsol Honda Team rider Toni Bou (Spain, 37 years old) has won the 2024 FIM* Trial World Championship. He has clinched his 18th consecutive title, extending his own record, by winning the Round 6 in France, held on August 25.This year’s Trial World Championship is contested over seven rounds (12 trials). Bou was off to a good start to the season by winning both trials at the TrialGP of Japan, held for the first time as a season-opener, at Mobility Resort Motegi. Although he dominated Round 2 in Andorra, and was victorious in the first trial of the following TrialGP of Italy, Bou’s second place finish in Trial 2 put an end to his winning streak.

Going into Round 6, the TrailGP of France, Bou had already amassed 8 wins out of 9 trials in pursuit of his 18th consecutive TrailGP title. Once again Bou was victorious, and with a sufficient point gap to his closest contender, teammate Gabriel Marcelli (Spain, 24 years old), was crowned champion with one round remaining.Since clinching his first world championship title in 2007 on HRC’s Montesa COTA 4RT factory bike, Bou has increased his unparalleled consecutive outdoor championship titles to 18, and has also won his 17th consecutive X Trial World Championship, an indoor competition raced on artificially prepared sections. He currently leads the 2024 indoor championship which resumes in October, aiming to claim his 18th consecutive title.Toni Bou | Repsol Honda Team“First of all, I would like to thank the team for the incredible work they have done this season.

Fujitsu tackles ‘drug loss’ in Japan through ecosystem to accelerate digitalization of clinical trials JCN Newswire

Fujitsu tackles ‘drug loss’ in Japan through ecosystem to accelerate digitalization of clinical trials

KAWASAKI, Japan, Aug 26, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced that it will begin initiatives to attract global clinical trials to Japan and tackle the ‘drug loss’ issue by working with pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions to build a new medical data ecosystem. The efforts come under the Fujitsu Uvance Healthy Living, which aims to improve people’s well-being.In July 2024, Fujitsu formed a strategic partnership with Paradigm Health, Inc., a US startup that provides one of the world’s most advanced clinical trial platforms. Through utilizing this platform, Fujitsu’s Healthy Living Platform, and the Fujitsu Kozuchi AI service, Fujitsu and Paradigm will facilitate the collection and processing of data stored at medical institutions and speed up the clinical trial planning process.In addition, starting today, Fujitsu will release Patient-centric Clinical Trials, a new service for automatically creating clinical trial documents using Fujitsu’s proprietary large language model (LLM). This service will be positioned in the company’s Healthy Living portfolio.Fujitsu will continue to expand its support to include not only clinical trial planning, but also implementation, and will work to solve issues throughout the entire clinical trial process. Through these efforts, Fujitsu aims to secure 20.0 billion yen in revenue in fiscal 2030, as well as contribute to achieving a society in which patients can quickly obtain the medicine they need and choose the treatment that best suits them.BackgroundIn Japan, patients who participate in clinical trials are dispersed across multiple hospitals making the process costly and time consuming. There has been an increasing number of cases in which Japan is excluded from regions targeted for global clinical trials. The impact of Japan’s drug pricing policy is also contributing to this situation.As a result, the number of drugs that are in use outside of Japan but are not approved for use in Japan had risen to 143 as of March 2023 (source: the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan).Overview of the Initiatives1. Accelerating Digitization in the Area of Clinical Trials through Fujitsu’s Partnership with ParadigmFujitsu will work with Paradigm, a US startup that provides pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions with one-stop support for the clinical trial process, to develop a new clinical trial data ecosystem that utilizes medical data. Paradigm’s clinical trial platform, which hosts many global clinical trials and has a long track record of success, will be combined with Fujitsu’s operational support expertise and cutting-edge technologies in the area of healthcare and life sciences in Japan.Clinical data, such as medical data and genomic data, will be collected from medical institutions through Fujitsu’s Healthy Living Platform. Fujitsu’s AI service, Fujitsu Kozuchi, will process this data so that it is compliant with the necessary laws and regulations, and it will be provided to Paradigm. In addition, Paradigm will use its clinical trial platform to analyze the data and provide pharmaceutical companies with the insight needed to plan and conduct clinical trials. This will allow pharmaceutical companies to better understand the situation at the medical institutions as well as the distribution of patients during the planning phase of the clinical trial, and significantly optimize the clinical trial design process.Medical institutions will also be able to quickly access information about clinical trials in which patients are able to participate through Paradigm’s clinical trial platform, making it easier for medical institutions to encourage patients to participate in clinical trials at the appropriate time.Fujitsu will launch these solutions starting in September 2024, beginning with providing support to core clinical research hospitals.2. Providing Patient-centric Clinical Trials, a New Offering for Optimizing Clinical Trial Workflows through a Specialized LLMIn Japan, the hundreds of clinical trial-related documents that pharmaceutical companies need to produce to develop a new drug are still being created and managed manually. However, by using its LLM specialized for clinical trials, Fujitsu will offer a service that can automatically create these documents and ensure that they are in compliance with regulations. This service will be provided in Japan as the Patient-centric Clinical Trials offering as part of its Healthy Living portfolio.In conducting a PoC of this offering with a pharmaceutical company, the LLM was able to automatically create approximately 80% of each document. According to Fujitsu’s estimates, this is expected to lead to a reduction in the total time required to create documentation of up to 50%. Through this offering, Fujitsu aims to make a significant contribution to optimizing the clinical trial planning and implementation workflow.Future PlansFujitsu will work to accelerate the digitalization of the clinical trial environment in Japan by providing total support for the entire clinical trial process, including planning and implementation. Through these efforts, Fujitsu aims to create the groundwork for increasing the number of global clinical trials conducted in Japan, solve the issue of drug loss and contribute to achieving a society in which all individuals can choose to live their lives in the way that suits them.Statement from Kent Thoelke, CEO of Paradigm Health, Inc.Paradigm is excited to be partnering with Fujitsu to maximize clinical trial efficiency in Japan. This collaboration will modernize the clinical trial model and provide unprecedented access to clinical trials for patients across Japan. The partnership will leverage Paradigm’s industry leading Platform and Fujitsu’s expansive healthcare solutions to increase clinical trial patient accrual, decrease overall drug development timelines and costs, while working to eliminate drug loss in Japan. We believe that this collaboration will establish Japan as an essential part of the global clinical trials and drug development ecosystem while ensuring that Japanese patients have equitable access to the best possible care options.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 in over 100 countries, our 124,000 employees work to resolve some of the greatest challenges facing humanity.
