EN_【Press Release】China XLX Announces 2026 Q1 Results
EQS Newswire / 17/05/2026 / 14:04 UTC+8 Press Release (For immediate release) China XLX’s Net Profit Surged by 68.7% YoY in Q1 2026 Simultaneous growth in sales volume and selling price of core products driven by optimised product mix and accelerated transformation and innovation of marketing model Q1 2026 Results Highlights: Revenue grew by 16.7% YoY to approximately RMB 6.82 billion. Net profit surged by 68.7% YoY to approximately RMB 421 million and profit attributable to owners of the parent company climbed by 51.7% YoY to approximately RMB 300 million, The economies of scale became increasingly evident as new capacity came on stream in an orderly manner. Overall gross profit grew by 53.2% YoY to approximately RMB 1.28 billion. Investment pace was precisely managed, with the ratio of long-term to short-term debt staying at 8:2 and short-term loans decreasing by 9% YoY. (17 May 2026, Hong Kong) China XLX Fertiliser Ltd. (“China XLX” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the “Group”) (stock code: 01866.HK) announced that the Group’s revenue for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 grew by 16.7% year-on-year to approximately RMB 6.82 billion. Net profit for the period surged by 68.7% year-on-year to approximately RMB 421 million and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company climbed by 51.7% year-on-year to approximately RMB 300 million. During the period under review, the overall operating environment of the fertiliser industry steadily improved amid strong agricultural demand and favorable raw material costs. The Group capitalised on the opportunities emerging in the market to ramp up R&D of differentiated high-efficiency fertilisers, optimise the product mix and increase the proportion of high value-added products in overall production and sales, leading to steady growth in average selling prices of products. Meanwhile, it accelerated the transformation and innovation of marketing model, made continuing efforts to expand both of domestic and international sales channels, and seized global trade opportunities to boost the export of chemical products. As a result, the sales volumes of core products grew in tandem with selling prices. With the successful commissioning of the Jiujiang Phase II Project, the Group’s new capacity came on stream in an orderly manner. As the economies of scale became increasingly evident, unit production costs further reduced and resulted in 53.2% year-on-year growth in overall gross profit to approximately RMB 1.28 billion. These achievements laid a solid foundation for the improvement in the Group’s financial results. In the first quarter of this year, revenue from urea sales increased by 27.6% year-on-year to approximately RMB 1.96 billion. The commencement of operation of the Jiujiang Phase II Project drove the robust growth in urea output from the previous year with the urea sales volume increased by 21.4% year-on-year for the period. As downstream customers stocked up in advance, the inventories reduced by 19% year-on-year, hence lending strong support to urea price hikes. At the same time, the Group further optimised the product mix and increased the sales proportion of high-efficiency urea with higher margins. As a result, the average selling price of urea increased by 5.2% year-on-year. Moreover, the commissioning of the Jiujiang Phase II Project lowered the fixed cost per tonne coupled with roughly 9% reduction in feedstock costs, the gross profit margin of urea for the period climbed by 10 percentage points year-on-year to 27%. During the review period, revenue from compound fertiliser sales amounted to approximately RMB 1.69 billion, up by 8.7% year-on-year. With the successful implementation of marketing transformation strategy, the Group’s marketing network for compound fertilisers expanded to all 31 provincial-level administrative regions across China. While approximately 7,000 new exclusive distributors were added, the coverage rate of the Group’s sales network reached 91%. In addition, existing distributors delivered steady business growth. As a result, the sales volume of compound fertilisers for the period saw 8.2% year-on-year growth. Because the proportion of ordinary fertiliser sales was seasonally higher in the first quarter and the market supply was largely balanced, the average selling price of compound fertilisers for the period remained stable. Nevertheless, as the tight supply of potash and phosphate fertilisers drove up the feedstock costs, the gross profit margin of compound fertilisers slightly retreated by 1.9 percentage points year-on-year to 12%. During the peak period of project investment, the Group will precisely control the investment pace and balance capital expenditures with financial risks to ensure stable cash flow. Its overall leverage remains controllable with a well-structured debt profile. All key financial indicators remain strong and keep on improving. As of the end of the period under review, the Group’s debt-to-asset ratio was 67.9%, slightly up by 1.9 percentage points from the beginning of the period. The ratio of long-term to short-term debt stayed at 8:2 and short-term loans decreased by 9% year-on-year, hence freeing up approximately RMB 1.4 billion in working capital. The average interest rate on new loans for the period decreased by 0.18 percentage points from the previous year and was maintained within 2.86%. As for the project development, the new chemical material project at the Xinjiang Production Base commenced the trial run with all indicators performing well. The urea production facility with annual capacity of 700,000 tonnes is scheduled to put into operation in the second quarter of this year. The development of the Zhundong Project (Phase I) is progressing as planned and it is slated to commence operation by the end of this year. The Guangxi Project (Phase I) is expected to put into production in the third quarter of next year. This project is aimed at addressing the capacity shortage of new nitrogenous fertilisers in Guangdong and Guangxi. With an easy access to the Pinglu Canal, it will enhance the transport efficiency at lower costs and will enable the Group to effectively expand into the Southeast Asia market. Looking ahead into the second quarter, Mr. Liu Xingxu, Chairman of China XLX, said: Underpinned by the peak planting season, domestic urea prices are expected to remain firm and stable in general. However, due to ample supply and other factors, there is limited room for further price increases. If the export controls are relaxed after the spring planting season, urea prices may see periodic price fluctuations. Meanwhile, coal-based producers are poised to benefit from geopolitical conflicts and the competitive landscape in the industry will continue to improve. Facing a complex market environment, the Group will reinforce its competitive edges through technological innovation, production iteration, marketing model transformation, the promotion of digital intelligence transformation and green low-carbon high-quality development. ~ END ~ About China XLX Fertiliser Ltd.

Carbonverse Pioneers a New Ecosystem of “Carbon Assets + Digital Wallet + Use-to-Earn”
- Carbonverse Partners with Joint Venture to Build a Closed-Loop Green Value System for the Consumer Market HONG KONG, May 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Recently, Carbonverse Limited and Wanel Capital Limited officially signed a cooperation agreement to establish a joint venture. Centered on three core pillars—carbon assets, digital wallets, and the "use-to-earn" (utility mining) model—the joint venture will integrate technical strengths with real-world scenarios. This initiative aims to drive carbon assets out of the industrial sector and directly into the consumer market, building a future-ready green value ecosystem. Carbonverse possesses mature practices and full-stack capabilities in carbon asset management, green finance scenario implementation, and carbon credit trading. Leveraging this partnership, the platform will further strengthen its digital wallet underlying technology, security systems, and development capabilities, creating an innovative infrastructure that deeply integrates "carbon assets + digital wallets + use-to-earn." Mr. Liang Liang, Chairman of Carbonverse, stated that this collaboration marks a critical milestone in executing the company's core strategy, following the successful completion of Carbonverse's underlying carbon asset layout and strategic tool systems. With carbon assets acting as the core vehicle, the top-level design will systematically dismantle three traditional barriers: - Breaking Scenario Barriers: Moving carbon assets beyond the traditional To-B (Business) and To-G (Government) sectors, allowing them to penetrate the mass consumer (To-C) market. Through the "use-to-earn" model, Carbonverse will cover everyday scenarios such as EV charging, commuting, smart homes, and health appliances, completing a pivotal leap for the carbon economy from industrial markets to consumer markets. - Breaking User Barriers: Building a unified entry point and asset closed-loop via a green digital wallet. This will enable the monetization of user attention and behavioral value, fostering deep integration and seamless value interoperability between the online digital ecosystem and offline private domain users. - Breaking Technology & Ecosystem Barriers: Seizing the historic opportunity where AI reshapes the global industrial landscape to construct a future-proof, three-in-one core competitiveness powered by carbon computing power, attention data, and intelligent operations. Under this strategic framework, the joint venture will leverage the large-scale circulation of carbon assets across online consumer platforms to establish highly efficient pricing and liquidity capabilities. Simultaneously, through innovative operational models—such as use-to-earn mechanisms, carbon blind boxes, and IP co-branded ecosystems—the platform will cultivate high-value, high-stickiness, and high-LTV (lifetime value) user assets. This will establish a virtuous cycle driven by data monetization, attention monetization, time monetization, and community value feedback. Looking ahead, Carbonverse will continue to deepen its strategic tools and ecosystem deployment. By deeply integrating artificial intelligence, Carbonverse aims to make AI a vital engine driving the convergence and innovation of the carbon ecosystem, digital assets, private domain value, and green finance, ultimately expanding its strategic runway for the future. About Carbonverse Carbonverse Limited, a subsidiary of C Dimension, is an innovative platform specializing in carbon asset digitalization and green initiatives. The company is dedicated to driving the transformation of carbon assets from mere compliance tools into premium financial assets, building a next-generation green consumer carbon ecosystem powered by use-to-earn mechanisms, generalized carbon inclusion, and attention monetization.
‘Hong Kong Cinema @ CANNES 2026’: Hong Kong’s role as a bridge between global and Asian film markets
Goal: to deepen industry exchange and expand co production and investment opportunities Cannes, France, May 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - “Hong Kong Cinema @ CANNES 2026”, jointly organised by the Cultural, Sports and Tourism Bureau (CSTB) of the Hong Kong SAR Government, the Hong Kong Film Development Council (FDC), the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA), and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), is held at the Cannes Film Festival from 12 to 23 May. Exhibitions, industry seminars, business matching meetings, project pitching sessions and networking activities are organised to promote cross-regional co-production opportunities while underscoring Hong Kong’s role as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange and a regional intellectual property (IP) trading hub. It also showcases the strength and creative diversity of Hong Kong’s film industry to the global screen community. “Hong Kong Night” enhances international industry exchange As a highlight of “Hong Kong Cinema @ CANNES 2026”, “Hong Kong Night” was held on 16 May at Majestic Beach in Cannes, bringing together around 600 international film professionals, including producers, distributors, investors and film promotion organisations. The event connected these global industry players with Hong Kong exhibitors, emerging producers, and Hong Kong actors Carlos Chan and Natalie Hsu, as well as winning teams of the FDC’s Content Development Scheme for Streaming Platforms, creating valuable opportunities for international exchange and discussions on collaboration. The Hong Kong Pavilion: industry strengths help expand global collaboration The Hong Kong Pavilion is staged at the Marché du Film, featuring a strong line-up of Hong Kong film production and distribution companies, including Edko Films, Emperor Motion Pictures, Entertaining Power, Media Asia Film, and One Cool Film. Other participating Hong Kong film companies include Fortune Star Media, Golden Network Asia, Mandarin Motion Pictures, and Blast Films. Exhibitors feature a range of latest and upcoming productions, including Edko Films’ Cold War 1994; the Chinese film Under Current, the top opening box office title of 2025; Entertaining Power’s The Fruitless Tree; Media Asia Film’s Twilight of the Warriors: The Final Chapter; and One Cool Film’s crime action film The Trier of Fact. These feature film projects have attracted producers, investors and distributors from different countries and regions, facilitating in-depth discussions on Hong Kong cinema’s latest creative trends, production strengths and international co-operation opportunities. Anna Cheung, Assistant Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “By co-organising ‘Hong Kong Cinema @ CANNES 2026’ once again with the CSTB, FDC and CCIDA during the Cannes Film Festival, the HKTDC helps the Hong Kong industry follow up on projects discussed at the Hong Kong International Film & TV Market (FILMART) held in March, and brings Hong Kong original works to overseas markets. We also support international screen productions in entering the Asian market via Hong Kong, reinforcing the city’s role as a vital bridge connecting Asian and the global markets.” Participating companies said the Hong Kong Pavilion provides a highly effective platform for meetings with international buyers. Many participants received enquiries and collaboration invitations and say that “Hong Kong Cinema @ CANNES 2026” significantly raises the profile of Hong Kong cinema internationally, making it a key gateway for market expansion. Grace Chan, Head of Distribution at Entertaining Power Co. Limited said, "I bring the family-drama-themed title ‘The Fruitless Tree’. It is very important for me to meet every programmer from different film festivals. This is a really good bridge for us to come here and present a movie to everyone in the market especially film festival programmers." Vanessa Lo, Vice President of Sales and Distribution at Media Asia, said: “Media Asia joined the Hong Kong Pavilion at this year’s Cannes market to seek partners for ‘Twilight of the Warriors: The Final Chapter’, and successfully established partnerships with buyers from multiple territories including France, Germany, Singapore and Vietnam, many of whom had previously collaborated on ‘Walled In’.” Mark Shaw, Director of Shaw Organisation, and Hang Trinh, Chief Executive Officer of Skyline Media, said: “The success of the ‘Twilight of the Warriors’ franchise stems from its strong cast, distinctly Hong Kong storytelling, and continued global demand for Hong Kong action cinema.” Exploring Asian film markets and seizing global opportunities A series of industry seminars and exchange activities were also organised during the event. At the seminar titled “Capital Flows & Co-Production Opportunities in Hong Kong, Asia and Beyond”, speakers shared insight into funding trends and co-production opportunities in Hong Kong and Asian film markets.

肯塔基州众议员托马斯·马西向媒体成员介绍《爱泼斯坦文件透明法案》，地点位于 2025 年 11 月 18 日美国国会大厦外。— 希瑟·迪埃尔（Heather Diehl）— Getty 图片(SeaPRwire) - 唐纳德·特朗普总统对共和党的影响力面临最大、最昂贵的考验：肯塔基州众议员托马斯·马西决心应对白宫长期以来的蔑视态度。用他自己的话说，这位特立独行的立法者“现在已无暇顾及他人感受”。周二举行的肯塔基州初选将检验：在特朗普主导一切的党内环境中，违背特朗普意愿的候选人能否继续生存？马西似乎毫不动摇，反而将他与白宫的分歧作为竞选连任的宣传点。尽管缺乏联盟支持，但马西反对总统的减税政策，认为其过于草率且赤字严重；他对伊朗战争深恶痛绝，毫不掩饰自己的立场；他还批评政治资金过度流向以色列；此外，他带头推动公开爱泼斯坦文件，无视特朗普的反对。这些行为招致了特朗普的愤怒。当前正值共和党内部进行“纯正性”测试的高峰期，但这些测试并不完全基于现实。特朗普的支持率徘徊在 30% 左右。其他共和党人坦承，特朗普正拖累他们争取国会众议院和参议院多数席位的机会，尤其在距离 11 月大选仅剩数月之际。在一项极不寻常的程序违规中——当时正值战争期间——特朗普派遣国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯前往竞选现场，为与马西争夺共和党提名资格的乳制品农场主兼前海豹突击队员埃德·加雷林助阵。此前，特朗普已在印第安纳州对未能在半程推动选区重划的州议员实施报复，并于周六彻底毁掉参议员比尔·卡西迪的连任前景。同一天，他还威胁科罗拉多州众议员劳伦·博伯特，若她支持马西，将在初选中与她对抗。这是一位以“复仇”为核心的总统。这一现象对共和党内稳健派构成打击；对共和党而言，选民对该党的负面情绪不断加剧，该党已意识到危机迫在眉睫；同时，它也令党内战略家们感到沮丧，因为他们正努力抵御历史规律带来的不利趋势。如果这就是特朗普塑造的政治气候，未来半年将充满动荡与混乱。复仇或许能带来短暂快感，但可能最终导致民主党掌控国会，从而获得为期两年的监督权、传票权和舆论主导权，使共和党在 2028 年总统大选前陷入被动局面。肯塔基州不过是特朗普宿怨引发的 R 党内部争斗的最新案例。路易斯安那州参议员卡西迪在本周末寻求连任时排名第三。得益于特朗普的鼎力支持，众议员朱莉娅·莱塔尔得票最多，财政部长约翰·弗莱明排名第二。两人将进入决选，争夺一个本应安全稳操胜券的席位。然而，这一过程却严重消耗了共和党的捐赠资源。这并非意味着卡西迪在步入跛脚鸭任期时保持沉默——他的投票记录可追溯至五年前对特朗普第二次弹劾案的表决。这位参议员表示：“参与民主选举有时结果不如人意，但你不能抱怨、哭闹，更不能声称选举舞弊或寻找失败的借口。你应该感谢选民赋予你代表国家或州的荣幸，而我目前正是这样做的。”卡西迪的败选——尽管他以温和保守主义者和严肃立法者的形象闻名参议院——紧随两周前印第安纳州党内纷争之后，后者证明共和党已完全由特朗普定义。拒绝迅速重划众议院选区以利于本党的共和党人遭到特朗普的猛烈抨击，并因此损失高达 1300 万美元的竞选资金。这是历任白宫均未曾针对如此低层级的当选官员展开清洗行动。这笔资金的流失令华盛顿及其他地区的共和党战略家担忧周二肯塔基州的投票结果。两派策略师均预测，这将是一场今年最昂贵、最激烈的初选。仅以金额计，肯塔基州竞选已至少消耗 1400 万美元共和党资金。此时，政策分歧或政治理念已非关键因素，双方阵营均将此视为个人恩怨缠斗。而在中期选举年中，党内团结或许是抵御不利于执政党历史趋势的唯一希望。与此同时，特朗普的支持率持续下滑。独立选民几乎不再支持他。但非常保守的选民——即他的基本盘——仍坚定站在他一边。而这通常决定着初选的走向。短期内这可能引发混乱，但到 11 月大选时或将显现不足。在此期间，原本可用于捍卫摇摆席位的资金可能被大量浪费。周一发布的《纽约时报》民调显示，民主党在注册选民的政党倾向普测中领先 11 个百分点。若选举今日举行，50% 的注册选民选择民主党（Team D），39% 选择共和党（Team R）。在独立选民中，民主党优势达 18 个百分点。如果共和党必须面对 D+11 的不利开局，那么任何特朗普的干预都难以扭转局势，唯有巨额资金或许能有所帮助。特朗普或许能在深红选区平息党内纷争，但他的品牌影响力恐怕不足以保住国会多数席位，尤其是在家庭内部争斗已耗尽捐款，而这些资金本可用于真正关键的摇摆席位。了解华盛顿的重要动态。 订阅 D.C.

一名美国人感染埃博拉病毒。你需要了解的信息
刚果民主共和国戈马市CBCA Virunga医院工作人员于2026年5月17日在官方宣布后，为可能的疑似埃博拉病例准备病房。——Jospin Mwisha/法新社—Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - 美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）表示，一名在美国境外工作的美国公民在刚果民主共和国（DRC）确诊感染埃博拉病毒并出现症状。另有六名与该感染者密切接触的美国人也在该国接受监测。CDC埃博拉应对行动指挥官萨提什·皮莱上尉在5月18日的简报会上称，CDC正努力将所有七名美国人转运至德国境内的医疗设施，以便他们继续接受治疗和评估。他表示，该确诊病例“是在其驻DRC工作期间受到感染”，但拒绝透露更多具体暴露细节。根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的数据，截至目前，DRC和乌干达爆发的疫情中已有八例经实验室确认的埃博拉病例，另有超过250例疑似病例正在追踪中，其中80人已死亡。无国界医生组织（Médecins Sans Frontières）运营总监阿兰·冈萨雷斯博士指出，该地区的暴力冲突、政治动荡、薄弱的基础医疗体系以及医护人员缺乏必要的防护装备，导致病毒迅速传播。该组织已在当地部署团队，提供包括儿科护理和疟疾治疗在内的多种医疗服务。5月17日，WHO总干事宣布将DRC与乌干达的埃博拉疫情列为“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”，此举将激活额外资源、人员和资金以应对公共卫生威胁。皮莱表示，CDC正与DRC和乌干达卫生部门紧密合作，协助控制疫情蔓延，包括派遣现场及远程技术支持专家。美国政府已就DRC和乌干达发布健康通告，提醒可能前往该地区旅行的美国人购买旅行保险，避免接触有症状者，并建议在非紧急情况下不要前往医疗机构就诊（因患者可能已处于感染状态）。此外，还建议避免接触动物和生肉。5月18日起，美国限制过去21天内曾到访DRC、乌干达或南苏丹且未持有美国护照的人员入境美国。自1970年代中期首次发现埃博拉病毒以来，DRC已多次报告埃博拉疫情，此前共记录至少16次爆发。此前的疫情多由扎伊尔型毒株引发，其致死率高达60%-90%，症状包括发热、肌肉酸痛、头痛，最终可能导致内出血和多器官衰竭。本次最新疫情始于5月初，WHO收到来自DRC伊图里省不明原因死亡病例的报告，其中包括多名医务人员。一周内，实验室检测确认此次为布杜布吉奥型（Bundibugyo）埃博拉病毒，其致死率为30%-50%，虽低于扎伊尔型，但仍可导致严重甚至致命的疾病。由于扎伊尔型更为常见，目前已有多种抗病毒药物和单克隆抗体疗法可用于治疗，但尚无特效药针对布杜布吉奥型，这使得此次疫情的防控更具挑战性。“这是历史上第三次记录在案的布杜布吉奥型病毒引发疫情。”冈萨雷斯说道，“因此，先前针对扎伊尔型开发的疫苗、特定疗法及检测能力均不适用于当前毒株。”埃博拉通过直接接触感染者体液传播，卫生官员认为病毒最初来源于受感染的蝙蝠或灵长类动物。非洲部分地区的医护人员尤其容易感染，因为他们常在缺乏适当个人防护设备的情况下护理病人，且有时并不知晓患者可能已被感染——因为初期症状与其他常见感染难以区分。自今年1月起，尤其是对USAID等支持国际公共卫生项目的机构大幅削减经费，已严重影响该地区医疗系统的运转。皮莱称，CDC在DRC设有办事处，目前有25名工作人员，“数量并未显著变化”。他强调：“无论该国办事处或卫生部提出何种支援请求，我们都将通过远程及实地方式予以响应。”鉴于尚无针对布杜布吉奥型的特异性治疗方法，卫生官员正集中精力开展检测、接触者追踪以识别潜在暴露人群，并实施隔离措施来控制传染源。同时，治疗其他合并感染和支持患者保持充分水分摄入也至关重要。冈萨雷斯强调，这些策略对于遏制疫情至关重要，即便缺乏专门疗法。“我们在以往疫情中看到，即使没有特定治疗手段，上述措施仍对改善患者预后具有重大影响。”截至目前，美国境内尚未报告任何埃博拉病例。“对美国本土的风险仍然很低，”皮莱表示。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。
科学家们已接近通过血液检测实现肺癌筛查突破
——izusek—Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - 多年来，乳腺癌、结肠癌和前列腺癌的筛查已使这些疾病的死亡人数有所下降。但肺癌筛查并未取得同样的成效。原因在于，目前的筛查建议仅关注一个风险因素——个人的吸烟史，而越来越多的证据表明，遗传改变和环境暴露等其他因素也会影响患病风险。这意味着现有的筛查指南遗漏了许多高危人群：有多达 65% 的肺癌患者不符合筛查条件，另有 10-20% 的患者从未吸烟。科学家一直在探索更好的方法来识别可能患有肺癌风险的人。一项新的研究发表在《美国医学会杂志》(JAMA) 上，并在奥兰多的美国胸科学会国际会议上公布，研究人员报告称，或许可以通过血液检测来发现癌症迹象。世界卫生组织下属的国际癌症研究机构 (IARC) 的研究人员发现，通过追踪 13 种不同蛋白质的水平，血液检测可以识别出 85% 的吸烟者所患的肺癌，而按照相同的检测特异性标准，现有筛查指南只能识别出其中的 63%。（目前推荐的肺癌筛查方法是每年进行一次低剂量 CT 扫描，适用于每天吸一包烟、持续 20 年或更长时间的人群，或当前仍在吸烟或在过去 15 年内戒烟的人群。）由 IARC 科学家马特亚斯·约汉森 (Mattias Johansson) 和海莉·罗宾斯 (Hilary Robbins) 领导的这项研究是高级作者之一，他们最初从超过 1,200 种可能与肺癌相关的蛋白质入手。通过分析 IARC 数据库中数千名吸烟者和曾经吸烟者的数据，他们将范围缩小至 13 种。这些参与者提供了血液样本，在不知道自己是否会患癌的情况下，接受了为期三年的跟踪观察。约汉森表示，其中一些蛋白质已知与肺癌有关，另一些则是新发现的，尽管这项研究并未深入探究这些蛋白质的具体作用。在之前的一项研究中，该团队描述了如何迭代筛选出最有价值的血液标志物。约汉森和罗宾斯表示，血液检测的目的不是为了取代 CT 扫描，虽然 CT 扫描有效，但如果大规模应用于整个人群，可能会带来昂贵的费用以及不必要的辐射暴露。约汉森说：“这种检测可以帮助我们识别真正的高危人群。” 这实际上是为了更智能地进行筛查，专注于那些最有可能受益的人群，同时避免对不需要的人群进行筛查。目前的研究仅针对吸烟者，但最终，同样的策略可用于扩大筛查指南的范围，将日后发展为肺癌且目前不符合任何筛查条件的非吸烟者纳入其中。该检测尚未准备好投入商业使用，但研究人员认为，其研究结果有力地证明了其进一步开发的价值。罗宾斯表示：“最重要的是开展干预性研究——在符合现行标准的人群中进行筛查，同时对不符合现行标准的人群使用生物标志物工具，并进行比较。” 该团队目前正在规划一项小型研究，以确定人们是否愿意使用血液检测进行筛查，然后再推进大规模研究。罗宾斯说：“我们已经认真考虑了如何设计这项研究以及如何获得资金支持。”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。

数百万人面临SSDI延误：Nationwide Disability Representatives扩大对残疾申请人的支持
(SeaPRwire) - 佛罗里达州开普科拉尔市，2026年5月17日 - 2026年，首次获得社会保障残疾保险（SSDI）决定通常需要6到8个月时间，但由于积压或信息缺失，部分案件耗时更长。超过67%的SSDI申请在初次申请阶段被拒绝。 平均周期为七至八个月，但这仅假设所有流程顺利进行。上诉程序会显著延长处理时间，听证会等待时间因地区而异，通常为8至24个月。 从提交申请到最终获得决定（包括初次申请通过或经上诉后决定）的平均时间约为两年。 目前，近一百万人正在等待初步决策，陷入SSDI延迟处理的队列中，且这一数字仍在不断增长。 SSDI审批需要多长时间？ 2026年，初次SSDI申请的审批周期平均为三至六个月，复杂案件可能需要更长的处理时间。这是最理想的情况。 若申请被拒并进入重新审查阶段，则需再等待3至6个月。重新审查的等待时间通常为3至6个月，但根据工作量和案件复杂性，某些情况下可能延长至8甚至10个月。 如果仍需向法官提出听证申诉，等待时间将大幅延长。 为何SSDI申请耗时如此之久？ 联邦层面的机构精简导致社会保障局（SSA）裁员近7,000人，员工人数从约57,000人减少至仅50,000人。随着受益人群体扩大，人员短缺问题加剧了审批延误。此外，SSA的实际运营预算也有所缩减。2018年，其预算占支付福利总额的1.2%；而如今已降至0.94%——相当于减少了约25%。 资金不足以及新冠疫情带来的运营干扰最初造成了SSDI和SSI申请积压，此后又因招聘缓慢和高离职率进一步恶化。目前，各州残疾认定服务机构普遍面临残疾鉴定官短缺的问题。 哪些因素会导致残疾申请延迟？ 了解导致个案停滞的原因对顺利推进至关重要。 医疗记录不完整或缺失：最常见也是导致延误和拒绝的原因之一就是缺乏或不完整的医疗记录。从不同医生处收集所需文件本身就需要时间，尤其当诊所系统也存在积压时更是如此。 补充医学检查：当SSA要求额外进行咨询性医学检查或向医疗专业人员索取更多资料时，会对其本就有限的资源造成额外负担，从而引发进一步延迟。 技术系统陈旧：SSA使用的旧式信息系统严重阻碍了高效处理案件的能力，且该系统无法升级。 多级上诉程序：若初次申请被拒（统计上极大概率会发生），申请人必须提出上诉，而每一次上诉都会增加数月甚至更长时间的等待期。 高拒批率的叠加影响 超过67%的SSDI申请在初次申请阶段被拒绝。如此高的拒批率使得上诉成为常规流程而非例外情况。 初次被拒是SSDI申请过程中的常见现象，并不一定反映申请人长期主张的有效性。大多数人第一次会被拒绝，第二次也同样如此。尽管进行了二次审核，但重新审查阶段的拒批率仍是整个流程中最高的之一——约有85%的申请再次被驳回。 只有在进入听证会阶段，大多数人才能获得批准。每年约有55%至60%的听证会裁决结果为批准。 许多申请人在历经数月乃至数年的上诉程序后，才最终到达听证会阶段。 延迟背后的人性代价 数字和时间线无法体现真实影响。对众多申请人而言，漫长的残疾审批过程会带来严重的经济压力，因为他们无法工作却仍在等待结果。 对社会安全署（SSA）的拖延而言，这远不止意味着额外的文书工作。它意味着对住房、食物和基本治疗保障的真实担忧。当时间线拉长时，许多人感觉自己的处境无人关注。 拥有熟悉系统、了解SSA需求并能代表自己发声的代表，能够产生切实可见的帮助效果。 你现在可以采取的应对措施 如果你的案件仍在审理中，以下步骤至关重要。 即使等待期间也应坚持就医。治疗中断可能对案件产生不利影响。持续的医疗记录能够向SSA表明你的病情仍在持续且严重。 及时响应社会保障局（SSA）的所有请求。保持详细记录并随时掌握案件进展，有助于迅速回应SSA提出的各项要求。 提前整理好相关档案资料，不要等到SSA索要时才临时准备。完整的医疗证明材料和及时回应SSA的要求，有助于最大限度减少审批延迟。 如已被拒，务必保护上诉权利。你必须在收到拒批通知后的60天内提出上诉，错过此期限可能导致你必须重新开始整个申请流程，从而延长数月甚至数年等待时间。 Nationwide Disability Representatives 扩大服务以提供支持 积压危机的紧迫性促使组织扩大服务能力，帮助残疾申请人更好地应对复杂的申请程序。专业法律代表可在整个申请过程中提供协助，例如由持牌SSDI律师审核医疗证据、识别文件漏洞，并在听证会上陈述意见。 Nationwide Disability Representatives 已扩展其支持服务，为更多面临SSDI申请困难及索赔援助的人群提供帮助。 来自熟悉社会安全残疾流程的专业代表的指导，可以帮助申请人更有效地处理索赔事宜、完善医疗文档并进行上诉。 请联系 Nationwide Disability Representatives 获取关于你的残疾福利案件的免费咨询。了解专业代表如何助你应对SSDI延迟问题，推动申请获批进程。媒体联系人jhonsan michaelberkelaw@yahoo.com800-572-3753P.O.

Paying Off Debt but Still Want to Save? Here’s How to Manage Both
SINGAPORE, May 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Want to rebuild your savings while carrying an existing debt? It can be overwhelming, but it is possible. The common belief is that one must eliminate all debt before saving again, but this could not be further from reality. Both goals can be managed together, even with monthly bills, Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) and everyday expenses competing for your income.A balanced approach to savings can reduce financial stress, help to stay prepared for emergencies and move steadily towards long-term stability. Some short-term options to help paying off debt include a Balance Transfer, Personal Loan or a credit line. Choosing the suitable Balance Transfer option available can help lower interest costs and make repayment more manageable.Wondering how? Read along to find out.Get a clear picture of your current financesBefore creating an aggressive savings plan or an unrealistic debt payment plan that will soon drain you, it is important to understand where your money is going. As a first step, list all your outstanding debts, including credit cards, personal loans or education loans, along with their respective interest rates and required minimum payments. While doing this, also consider your monthly income and essential expenses to understand the flexibility you have.Budget for both goalsRebuilding your savings starts with setting a well-structured budget. Many people often allocate every bit of extra money towards debt repayment, which is why they fail to rebuild their savings. Allocate specific portions to both savings and debt reduction, striking a balance that ensures you do not feel financially insecure while you work towards freedom from debt. Over time, your budget can be adjusted as debts reduce and your financial confidence grows.Start with an emergency fundAn emergency fund protects you from unexpected expenses that could push you further into debt. This fund helps cover medical emergencies, urgent travel or sudden job changes/loss, without relying on credit cards or loans. Building this fund steadily, no matter the amount, is more important than trying to save a large sum all at once.Reduce debt while protecting your savingsIf you want to stay consistent with repayments without sacrificing your savings, you must choose the right strategy, which balances interest payment, motivation and cash flow. The right approach depends on whether you want to minimise interest or maintain motivation while saving. The debt avalanche method focuses on the former, while the snowball method helps with the latter.Debt avalanche methodUnder this method, the focus is on paying off debts with the highest interest first, while continuing to make minimum payments on others. This reduces the total interest paid over time, whereby you regain control. This repayment strategy reduces the interest burden and frees up money that can be later redirected towards savings.Debt snowball methodThe snowball method focuses on clearing smaller debts first, focusing on quick wins that result in continued motivation. With each debt cleared, the available amount can be split between savings and the next payment goal.Automate savingsThe temptation to skip saving when expenses rise can be strong; hence, automating your savings is important. For instance, setting up a mandate for automatic transfer of funds to your savings account right after your salary is credited ensures consistency. This helps you maintain steady and growing savings while also staying committed to debt repayment.Cut expenses without feeling restrictedReducing expenses does not require extreme cutbacks. Identify areas where you can make small adjustments that will lead to significant savings. This includes checking for unused subscriptions, planning meals to limit dine-out expenses, and reviewing bills wherever possible. The freed-up money can later be allocated to savings or debt payments.Rebuilding your savings while paying off existing debt is a long-term game of patience, planning and consistency. Start by understanding your finances and then identifying a financial strategy that works best for you. Saving and debt repayment are not competing goals, they can work together to create a secure financial future.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

The new identity draws inspiration from coding-inspired visual language, incorporating a motion-first philosophy and structures rooted in digital design principles. Originally founded in Ukraine and currently headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, GR8_TECH supplies a range of betting and gaming solutions to the global industry, including a sportsbook platform and cryptocurrency services. “This rebranding was never about change for its own sake,” stated Iryna Ilchanka, Creative Lead at GR8_TECH. “GR8_TECH already possessed strong recognition and character. Our objective was to refine it—to develop a system that feels more aligned with the technological capabilities and ambitions of the company moving forward.” Branding and marketing have played a central role in GR8_TECH’s development since its inception in 2023, originally established as Parimatch Tech—the B2B technology arm supporting Parimatch, the multinational sportsbook based in Ukraine. In 2023, Parimatch Tech transitioned to become GR8 Tech, which has since evolved into GR8_TECH. Since rebranding, the company has invested significantly in building a powerful brand presence, collaborating with prominent figures such as Ukrainian world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandyr Usyk, as well as Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, and Champions League-winning manager José Mourinho. The implementation of GR8_TECH’s latest brand identity follows a series of product improvements throughout the year, particularly centered around preparations for the World Cup. The firm has rolled out upgrades to both its sportsbook and casino platforms ahead of the tournament. “We didn’t aim to produce a static brand guide,” added Ilchanka. “Instead, we sought to create a dynamic framework that evolves continuously alongside the business.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Ex-Aetna CMO and AI Expert David Edelman to Join SBC Summit Americas Lineup
(AsiaGameHub) - SBC Summit Americas 2026 will welcome David Edelman, former Aetna CMO and Harvard Business School faculty member, and a bestselling author, for an exclusive keynote exploring how AI is transforming the way businesses understand, reach, and engage their customers. From pioneering concepts such as the ‘Customer Decision Journey’ and ‘Segment-of-One Marketing’ to advising Fortune 500 companies, Edelman has built a distinguished career shaping how businesses approach marketing, AI, and customer engagement. The keynote will take place on Thursday, June 11 (10:40–11:00) as part of the ‘Leaders’ track. Titled Unlocking AI to Drive Growth, the session will explore how gaming businesses can move beyond using AI as an operational tool and instead leverage it as a driver of commercial advantage. Edelman will examine how brands can transform both digital and physical customer journeys through personalisation and automation at scale, while balancing engagement, responsibility, and trust. Drawing on global cross-sector examples, he will also introduce a practical CEO-level framework for turning AI into a sustainable growth engine. “David brings a level of experience that very few speakers can match, particularly when it comes to connecting AI with real marketing strategy. This is exactly the kind of insight our audience is looking for right now,” said Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC. Over more than four decades, Edelman has built a strong voice across marketing and technology, earning recognition from Forbes as one of the “Most Influential CMOs in the World” across multiple years and a place in Adweek’s ‘AI Trailblazers Power 100’ in 2025. He also has over 1.1 million followers on LinkedIn. Edelman began his career in 1986 at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), working with customer data and laying the foundation for his widely recognised 1989 article, ‘Segment-of-One Marketing’, which introduced the idea of tailoring marketing to individual customers at scale. He later co-developed BCG’s e-commerce practice before joining Digitas in 1999, where he focused on data-driven digital experiences through CRM and analytics. In 2008, he moved to McKinsey & Company, where he built and led the global Digital Marketing practice. During this time, he introduced the ‘Customer Decision Journey’ concept in a landmark Harvard Business Review cover story, redefining how businesses understand and influence the path from initial awareness to purchase and loyalty. Commenting on his appearance, Edelman said, “There’s a misconception that AI can simply be layered onto existing marketing strategies, when in reality it requires a fundamental rethink. In this session, I’ll look at how businesses can adapt their approach and use AI to deliver more relevant, personalized customer experiences.” In 2016, Edelman moved into corporate leadership as Aetna’s first Chief Marketing Officer, where he led a major digital and brand transformation. He upgraded marketing capabilities, repositioned the brand as a trusted health partner, and built a comprehensive customer experience program, while also contributing to the company’s merger with CVS. Since leaving Aetna in 2020, Edelman has focused on advisory work through Edelman Advisory Services, working with CEOs and CMOs to use AI more effectively in marketing. His work explores team structure, better use of data, and how to deliver more relevant customer experiences while maintaining a human touch and building trust. Alongside his advisory work, Edelman contributed to the next generation of business leaders as a faculty member at Harvard Business School. He is also a recognised author, having co-written Personalized: Customer Strategy in the Age of AI, a USA Today bestseller that explores how businesses can use AI and data to deliver more relevant customer experiences. Edelman’s appearance forms part of SBC Summit Americas’ extensive conference program, which will feature 250 expert speakers across six stages, covering key topics such as leadership, sports betting and casino, payments and technology, affiliation, regulation, and player protection. These sessions sit within the event’s ‘Knowledge Vault’, designed to deliver actionable insights for industry professionals. Want to attend SBC Summit Americas?

凯马克紫外激光解决方案：材料兼容性与应用
(SeaPRwire) - 杭州，浙江 2026年5月17日 - 现代工业标识要求具备精密程度，既能保持基材原有的物理特性，又能确保全程可追溯。随着全球供应链日益重视防伪与智能物流，非破坏性、高对比度编码的需求已成为国际贸易领域的关键要求。凭借先进的光子学技术和十余年的专业研究积累，Kecmark（Hangzhou Kechuang Mark Technology Co.,Ltd）已发展成为一家高品质紫外激光打标机制造商，能够在全球B2B制造领域解决最复杂的标记难题。该公司采用专有的355纳米紫外技术，可在敏感材料上实现永久性标记，同时避免热变形或结构损伤的风险。这种方案有效弥合了高速工业化生产与微米级精度之间的技术鸿沟，确保每一件产品在其整个生命周期内都拥有合规的身份标识。 核心技术原理：冷光源工艺与热敏材料处理 Kecmark紫外系列设备的核心在于其355纳米的紫外波长技术，与传统红外或CO2激光器存在本质区别。大多数传统标记系统依赖热效应使材料表面熔化或汽化，而紫外激光技术则采用光化学分解机制，通过高能光子直接打断材料内部的分子键，而非产生热量。 这种“冷加工”方法对于热损伤风险较高的行业至关重要。通过最小化热影响区，这些设备可防止敏感基材发生变形、焦化或泛黄现象。对于薄壁PET容器、医用导管及高密度电子元件等材质而言，无热应力标记不仅是技术必需，更是保障产品质量的关键。该技术能够在不损害产品结构完整性的前提下，实现永久、高对比度的清晰标识。 详细材料兼容性：从常规到极端应用 材料适应性使紫外技术在工业标记竞争中脱颖而出。在塑料领域，Kecmark设备对PET、HDPE、PC和ABS等材料表现卓越。这些材料若使用光纤或CO2激光器处理，常会出现烧穿或对比度不足的问题。而355纳米波长能高效地与聚合物结构相互作用，形成清晰、深黑的标记，且具备良好的耐酒精和抗化学腐蚀性能。 除塑料外，该技术同样适用于玻璃、陶瓷和硅片等硬质材料的标记。高反射金属（如金或银涂层），通常难以被其他类型激光处理，却能被355纳米光束轻松加工。这使得半导体元件和奢侈品包装上的精细雕刻成为可能。此外，该技术还突破了传统禁区，例如热敏薄膜和柔性印刷电路板（FPC）。如今，这些脆弱材料也可在不引发功能失效或外观缺陷的前提下，进行批次编号或二维码标记。 产品系列区分：800系列与900系列 为满足不同工业需求，Kecmark将紫外解决方案分为两大系列：800系列和900系列。其中，800系列专为高速在线编码设计，无缝集成于食品、饮料和制药行业的自动化生产线中，重点支持飞行打标——即产品在高速移动状态下仍可完成清晰日期代码和可追溯号码的标记。 相比之下，900系列面向静态、超精细精度应用场景，配备70毫米短焦光学系统，适合空间紧凑的工作环境或专用包装机械。该系列擅长在微型电子芯片上标记微缩二维码，或在手术器械上刻印复杂追踪数据。选择哪一系别主要取决于产线速度与所需标记分辨率之间的平衡，为工厂管理者提供了清晰的决策路径。 实际应用案例：替代喷墨并超越传统激光 向紫外激光标记的转变源于监管行业对更清洁、更可靠标识方式的迫切需求。在制药包装领域，HDPE瓶身需符合严格的GMP标准。与依赖挥发性油墨的喷墨打印不同，紫外激光器提供非接触式、无污染解决方案，所生成标记持久耐用，并能抵御医疗环境中常见的严苛灭菌流程。 在电子行业，可追溯性对质量控制极为关键。紫外激光器可在芯片载板和柔性电路上实现微米级标记，由于几乎无热影响，因此基本消除了微裂纹或电路故障的风险。同样，在高端化妆品行业，该技术能在亚克力与玻璃瓶体上呈现优雅的白色标记效果，提升品牌形象，无需额外标签或化学处理，契合当代奢华审美趋势。 服务护城河：从设备到整体解决方案 技术优势依托于完善的服务体系支撑。鉴于不同厂商的材料配方差异显著，Kecmark提供专业的样品测试服务。客户可将特定材料（如复合薄膜）送至实验室评估，工程师随后生成定制化参数报告，确保标记效果符合预期要求，再决定是否采购设备。 从财务角度看，向紫外激光技术的转型是一项战略性投资。尽管初期成本可能与传统的热转印过墨（TTO）或连续式喷码（CIJ）系统有所不同，但其全生命周期成本明显更低。紫外激光器无需任何耗材——既不消耗墨水、色带，也不涉及溶剂。这一特点不仅大幅降低运营中的重复支出，也彻底消除化学废料带来的环境负担。对于致力于可持续发展和数字化转型的全球性企业而言，此类系统为实现更高效、更环保的制造模式提供了可行路径。 欲了解更多工业标记解决方案，请访问：https://www.kec-smark.com/媒体联系人Hangzhou Kechuang Mark Technology Co.,Ltdservice@kec-mark.comhttp://kec-smark.com来源：Hangzhou Kechuang Mark Technology Co.,Ltd.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。
