Scholz, la caduta e il ‘look da pirata’: “Aspetto i meme”

(Adnkronos) – Costretto a un 'look da pirata' dopo una caduta mentre faceva jogging, il cancelliere tedesco Olaf Scholz ha preferito scherzarci sopra. "Aspetto i meme", ha scritto su Twitter, mostrando la sua prima foto con la benda nera su un occhio e le abrasioni sul volto dopo l'incidente di questo weekend. "Grazie per gli auguri, sembra peggio di quello che è", ha aggiunto.  Il portavoce del governo, Steffen Hebestreit, ha detto che il cancelliere sta bene, malgrado le circostanze. "Questa mattina era di buon umore, anche se è un po' malconcio", ha affermato. La foto è stata diffusa così che "tutti possano abituarsi a come apparirà nelle prossime una o due settimane", ha spiegato.  Scholz, 65 anni, è inciampato mentre faceva jogging vicino alla sua residenza ufficiale di Potsdam. Ieri ha dovuto cancellare un appuntamento elettorale, ma ora tornerà a partecipare ad eventi pubblici.  —internazionale/esteriwebinfo@adnkronos.com (Web Info)

Seegene Unveils ‘Open Innovation Program Powered by Seegene’ in Partnership with Springer Nature

(Adnkronos) – SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Seegene Inc. (KQ096530), a leading South Korean company providing a total solution for PCR molecular diagnostics, unveiled today its 'Open Innovation Program powered by Seegene (Open Innovation Program)' in partnership with Springer Nature, a world-leading provider of services to the research community. The inaugural program is available globally and is the first step in empowering experts, scientists, and clinicians to develop syndromic quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays across all fields. The 'Open Innovation Program' is a part of the Seegene OneSystemTM business aimed at creating a world free from all diseases – through development of diagnostic products and early diagnosis in all fields, including cancer and infectious diseases, not limited to humans but for all organisms. To achieve this goal, the Seegene OneSystemTM business will share Seegene's technology and expertise accumulated over 20 years with global partners and enable scientists around the world to develop new diagnostic products for all diseases. The inaugural 'Open Innovation Program' consists of 15 projects to develop 15 syndromic qPCR diagnostics assay reagents across infectious and vector-borne diseases, as well as in the detection of drug-resistant pathogens. Applications may be submitted by Oct. 31, 2023 (11:59 PM, GMT), and following a comprehensive assessment of applications, awardees will be announced on March 15, 2024. Applicants must comprise teams of two or more individuals employed or affiliated with a university, research institute or similar organization authorized to perform pre-clinical and clinical studies. Along with research grants of up to 600,000 USD per project, the awardees will be provided with Seegene's syndromic qPCR reagents, extraction reagents, consumables, education on clinical study methods, instruments, and software for automated experimentation at no cost to use and perform pre-clinical and clinical studies for defined target pathogens during the study period. The 15 projects are in the following categories: Commenting on the format of the program, Dr. Dae-Hoon Lee, Seegene's Executive Vice President and Chief R&D Officer said, "As this is the first phase of the Open Innovation Program, Seegene will lead the majority of the program – product design, product development planning, and feasibility studies without clinical specimens – so the awardees can focus on conducting preclinical and clinical studies with clinical specimens. "In the next phase, awardees will utilize Seegene Digitalized Development System (SGDDS) to conduct the entire development program from product designs to clinical validations." Prior to unveiling the 'Open Innovation Program,' Seegene announced its strategic partnership agreement with Springer Nature in June 2023. Through the agreement, Springer Nature is introducing the Seegene OneSystem™ business to the global scientific community to actively participate in developing new assays within a global network across all fields. "We believe in Seegene's mission to create a world free from all diseases by sharing its state-of-the-art technology with the global scientific community," said Richard Hughes, Vice President, Publishing, Nature & Impact Solutions of Springer Nature. "We encourage scientists from different fields to collaborate with Seegene in the development of PCR assays that can have a real impact on global health." A PCR molecular diagnostics company can typically develop only a few syndromic assays annually. However, with the Open Innovation Program, Seegene aims to significantly increase the number of assays that can be developed to hundreds and thousands a year. "With this program, Seegene has taken a first historic step toward the goal of creating a 'world free from all diseases,'" said Dr. Jong-Yoon Chun, CEO of Seegene. "The start of our global program will not only accelerate the Seegene OneSystem™ business but will also make an impact on the widespread adoption of syndromic qPCR diagnostics." Seegene expands on Seegene OneSystem™ business to create a 'world free from all diseases' As part of the Seegene OneSystem™ business, Seegene has recently signed partnership agreements with leading diagnostics companies – Hylabs in Israel and Werfen in Spain. Seegene plans to expand partnerships from countries in Europe and Asia this year. By 2028, Seegene set its sights on signing partnership with leading companies in 100 countries. Through the Seegene OneSystem™, Seegene aims to share syndromic qPCR assay technology; automated assay development technology (SGDDS); standardized raw materials technology; automated instrument technology (AIOS™); automated manufacturing technology (SG MATES&ARMS); and data analysis and information management technology (SG STATS). Starting today, further information about the 'Open Innovation Program' plus related content on its anticipated benefits for health will be shared through both Springer Nature and Seegene websites. Photo – https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2200982/OpenInnovationProgram.jpg

Kadyrov atleta, la corsa sul tapis roulant – Video

(Adnkronos) – Come sta Ramzan Kadyrov? E' alle prese con una malattia? Il leader ceceno è ancora saldo al potere? La risposta, con un video, prova a darla lo stesso Kadyrov. Le immagini mostrano il corpulento capo della Repubblica Cecena impegnato in una corsa a ritmo sostenuto su un tapis roulant. Lo scatto, tra qualche sorriso e la respirazione non proprio da atleta, va in scena al chiuso, in una sala in cui si intravedono quadri con cornici dorate, lampadari sfarzosi e mobili che non passano inosservati. —internazionale/esteriwebinfo@adnkronos.com (Web Info)

Osimhen, De Laurentiis chiede 500 milioni: “E forse ci penso”

(Adnkronos) – Aurelio De Laurentiis ha rifiutato 200 milioni di euro dall'Arabia Saudita per Victor Osimhen, dicendo no alla più folle delle offerte del calciomercato 2023. Lo scrive L'Equipe, secondo cui il presidente del Napoli – in base alle ultime news – oltre a respingere l'offerta dell'Al-Hilal per il 24enne attaccante nigeriano ha anche inviato una mail sarcastica agli intermediari incaricati dal club saudita. "Con la tua offerta si può comprare solo un piede di Osimhen. Per l'anno prossimo penso che potrete offrire 500 milioni e probabilmente valuteremo la vostra offerta, ma ripeto: forse", ha scritto il numero uno del club partenopeo.  —sportwebinfo@adnkronos.com (Web Info)

Italia-Usa, Fontecchio vs Banchero: la sfida nella sfida

(Adnkronos) –
Italia contro Stati Uniti nei quarti di finale dei Mondiali di basket 2023. Gli azzurri di Simone Fontecchio contro gli Usa di Paolo Banchero per un posto in semifinale, in una sfida che la Nazionale affronta dopo le eccellenti prestazioni contro Serbia e Portorico. Gianmarco Pozzecco contro Steve Kerr in panchina, in campo un collettivo capace di stupire contro una selezione a stelle e strisce che non ha superstar da copertina ma prova a giocare da squadra con elementi di talento purissimo. Italia-Usa è anche una sfida incrociata tra un italiano che cerca gloria in Nba e un americano che ha 'flirtato' con l'azzurro prima di scegliere la bandiera a stelle e strisce. Da una parte Simone Fontecchio, che in Nazionale mostra il talento che gli Utah Jazz potranno sfruttare di più in futuro. Dall'altra Paolo Banchero, astro nascente degli Orlando Magic. Figlio di un italoamericano, il rookie of the year nella Nba ha scelto la maglia degli Usa dopo un lungo corteggiamento tricolore. Ora, Banchero trova come avversari quelli che potevano essere i suoi compagni. Hai un messaggio per i tifosi italiani? "No", ha tagliato corto Banchero rispondendo a un giornalista filippino. Il ventenne con passaporto italiano è stato a lungo corteggiato dalla Fip per giocare il Mondiale in maglia azzurra. "L'Italia? Sono molto bravi tecnicamente, sono molto precisi nell'eseguire i loro schemi. Giocano duro, e per questo sarà una grandissima sfida", ha aggiunto l'ala degli Orlando Magic.  L'Italia si presenta all'appuntamento senza nulla da perdere. Questo, però, non significa partire battuti in un torneo che ha già riservato sorprese e cadute eccellenti. "Il basket è diventato sempre più difficile. Basti considerare quanto spazio è stato dato nei giornali e nelle televisioni nazionali a questo ritorno dell'Italia nel 'G8 mondiale'", ha detto il presidente della Federbsket, Gianni Petrucci, a Radio Anch'io Sport su Radio Rai. Il cammino dell'Italia "è merito di una prestazione straordinaria di ragazzi normali", ha proseguito il numero uno della Fip. "Domani è una partita contro dei colossi, hanno perso con la Lituania ma sono sempre dei fenomeni, di un altro livello. Loro sono favoriti, però sognare non costa nulla. E poi incontriamo Banchero. Voleva giocare con l'Italia? Domani giocherà con l'Italia", ha aggiunto con ironia Petrucci. "Cosa gli dirò? Niente, si deve agire da signori. Domani è una partita sul campo, lui è un grande campione e vorrà dimostrarlo. La mia è una battuta, ma sono rimasto molto dispiaciuto non tanto per la scelta degli Stati Uniti, ovvia e naturale, ma per le foto con la maglia, con il passaporto…però non rimpiango nulla, anzi forse ci ha fatto scoprire altri giocatori".  Il presidente federale ha poi parlato di coach Pozzecco. "Un allenatore così, 'sui generis', sotto tutti i punti di vista, non lo abbiamo mai avuto. Abbiamo avuto grandi allenatori ma la simpatia e le caratteristiche di Pozzecco non le ha nessuno", ha aggiunto. "Datome? Per adesso avrà un ruolo nell'Armani a Milano. Poi vedremo. E' un grande campione e una grande persona. Ha detto che lascia ma abbiamo visto tutti a che livello ha giocato in questi Mondiali", ha concluso Petrucci riferendosi al capitano Gigi Datome, che sta per chiudere la carriera da giocatore.  —sportwebinfo@adnkronos.com (Web Info)
