PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Last September, VISTA Eye Specialist proudly marked its presence at the prestigious European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ESCRS) Symposium and Congress in Vienna, Austria.

With a contingent of this scale, VISTA demonstrated its unwavering dedication to pursuing knowledge and collaboration. Tan Chin-Ching, CEO of VISTA, emphasized the significance of such gatherings, stating, "It is an opportunity for us to meet face-to-face with many of our international partners, getting to know the top management in person and discussing our future plans. Meetings like this allow each party to understand each other better, and future collaborations are sparked from these engagements."

VISTA’s surgical experts also made a remarkable impact on the international stage. Dr. Jimmy Lim Ing Hong won 2nd Place in the Refractive Research Video Award while also having another video selected for presentation at the conference. Additionally, Dr. Koh Yi Ni had her Refractive Research Poster selected for presentation at the conference. Notably, VISTA’s Medical Director, Dr. Aloysius Joseph Low, was invited as a featured speaker at a Dry Eye Management Symposium during the event.

Dr. Aloysius Joseph Low expressed his pride in VISTA’s contributions, stating, "We are proud to present our studies on the Management of Dry Eye Disease, which is an emerging trend among patients of all ages, as a result of our environment, diets, and especially our usage of digital devices. VISTA contributed to over half of the results in the study of over 1,700 patients on the effectiveness of dry eye treatments."

One of the central themes at this year’s conference in Vienna was Sustainability in the Ophthalmology field. A robust dialogue ensued on how eye clinics can play a pivotal role in mitigating global warming through initiatives such as recycling, reducing carbon footprints, and minimizing environmental impact. Bernard Chan Kwok Loong, Training & Sustainability Manager at VISTA, emphasized the need for collective action, stating, "The industry needs to re-look at how to reduce our impact on the environment. Instead of only focusing on the 3Rs (Recycling, Reducing & Reusing), we need to also engage our stakeholders – especially the suppliers, to take up Sustainability as a business blueprint."

Chin-Ching added, "It is through attending the numerous courses and seminars that we can learn from surgeons from all over the world to improve our work, and our surgeons gain new insights into the clinical aspects. It is also in these instances that many times we get reassurance that what we have been doing is on the right track, and at times even way ahead."

Huawei Li Peng: Powering a positive 5G business cycle and embracing 5.5G (5G-A)

Li Peng, Corporate Senior Vice President, President of the Carrier BG, Huawei

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Huawei kicked off the 14th Global Mobile Broadband Forum in Dubai, UAE. Li Peng, Huawei’s Corporate Senior Vice President and President of the company’s Carrier BG, delivered a keynote at the event. In his speech, Li called on global carriers and industry partners to rise to the occasion, address increasing demands on networks, and make the most of the future trends.

"Let’s start today, build tomorrow’s networks for future services, and unleash 5G’s infinite potential for continuous success," he said.


Li Peng, Corporate Senior Vice President, President of the Carrier BG, Huawei

In his speech on powering a positive 5G business cycle and embracing 5.5G (5G-A), Li stated, "We are already on the right path towards 5G business success, and 5G-Advanced is the natural next step in 5G’s evolution." 

He emphasized that when we look back at history, every major economic transformation came from innovation in general purpose technologies. "Now we’re in the digital age, where the Internet is powering the digital economy," said Li in his speech.

"5G is a critical part of new economic transformation," continued Li. "And it’s enabling new innovation in general purpose technologies. For digital industries, 5G is developing fast, opening up new markets and opportunities."

According to Li, future mobile networks need to have six key features: 10 Gbps downlink, 1 Gbps uplink, deterministic networking, support for a hundred-billion IoT connections, integrated sensing and communication, and native AI capabilities. To make this happen, carriers and industry players not only need to continuously enhance their capabilities in three core usage scenarios – enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) – but also develop three new capabilities, including Uplink Centric Broadband Communication (UCBC) and Real-Time Broadband Communication (RTBC).

Speaking on 5G-Advanced, the next evolutionary step in 5G technology, Li also noted that the industry needs to work together to promote the development of device and application ecosystems, verify use case scenarios, and accelerate the large-scale commercialization of FWA Square, Passive IoT, and RedCap.

These efforts are crucial to make the most of the five new trends that will shape an intelligent digital future.


Li Peng shares five trends that will shape an intelligent digital future

Glasses-Free 3D

The glasses-free 3D industry ecosystem is maturing fast. Breakthroughs in technologies including cloud rendering and real-time 3D virtual humans will take immersive experience to new heights. Moving forward, more and more devices like mobile phones and TVs will support glasses-free 3D, which will drive data traffic up by a factor of ten relative to 2D video.

Self-Guided Vehicles

By 2025, there will be more than 500 million smart vehicles on the road. With high-bandwidth and low-latency networks, smart vehicles will be able to share information with people, vehicles, roads, and the cloud in real time. In assisted-driving scenarios, smart vehicles will consume more than 300 gigabytes of data every month for cloud-based model training and weekly algorithm updates. In self-driving scenarios, data consumption will rise by a factor of 100.

Next-Gen Manufacturing

With breakthroughs in capabilities like network slicing and edge computing, the number of 5G private networks for enterprise use has increased a hundredfold, and the market size has grown to over US$10 billion. However, as production lines become more flexible, increasingly reliant on wireless networks, and more core production systems are deployed on the cloud, higher requirements are posed on 5G networks.

Huawei worked with a carrier and industry partners to build the industry’s first 5G-Advanced flexible trial production line. For this production line, 5G-Advanced supports high-concurrency and highly deterministic network connections, which helps more efficiently connect computing power between cloud and network edge.

Generalized Cellular IoT

There are more than three billion mobile IoT connections around the world, and 5G now connects more things than people. In the near future, 5G will support a broader range of IoT technologies like medium-speed RedCap and Passive IoT. This will provide more options for different IoT scenarios, allowing for more efficient flow of data, information, and computing power. For example, in the home appliance manufacturing sector, Passive IoT can help provide visibility along the entire distribution and production chain, and has helped increase overall productivity by 30% in verification trials.

Guaranteed Intelligent Computing Everywhere

With the rise of new developments in AI, such as foundation models, demand for AI computing power will see explosive growth. By 2025, this demand is expected to be 100 times greater than current levels. To unleash the full potential of AI computing power, more advanced network capabilities are key. Networks will need to have larger bandwidth and lower latency to power truly intelligent connectivity. In addition, as traffic models begin to change, future networks will need to be more autonomous and intelligent to deliver a reliable experience.


Li Peng at Huawei’s Global Mobile Broadband Forum in Dubai, UAE

Join us for the 14th Global Mobile Broadband Forum, themed "Bring 5.5G into Reality" from October 10 to 11 in Dubai, UAE. Hosted by Huawei and backed by industry partners GSMA, GTI and the SAMENA Telecommunications Council, the forum promises a deep dive into the successes of 5G, the maturity of the ecosystem, the fast-track commercialization of 5G-A/5.5G, and insights into how mobile broadband technology is shaping the future and transforming people’s lives and industries.

Arla Foods Ingredients invests for growth in Latin America

Arla Foods Ingredients invests for growth in Latin America

Upgrade to Argentina site allows doubling of whey permeate powder capacity and production of infant formula-grade proteins

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – Media OutReach – 11 October 2023 – Arla Foods Ingredients has enhanced its Porteña facility in Argentina to cater to the growing demand for quality whey ingredients globally, especially in Latin America. A notable upgrade is a new drying tower, which increases whey permeate powder capacity and paves the way for infant-formula-grade protein production.

This expansion aligns with the surging demand from Asia and Latin America. The tower’s introduction will convert permeate solids to dry ingredients, effectively doubling capacity.

Upon finalizing financial agreements, RELCO will lead the tower’s construction, aiming for a 2026 finish.

Henrik Andersen, CEO, stated, “We’ve operated in Argentina since 2000 and are pleased with Arla Foods Ingredients S.A.’s achievements, which enable further growth. This upgrade aligns with our strategy to meet the growing demand for quality whey products in Latin America and worldwide.”

Producing infant-grade proteins requires adherence to strict global standards.* Arla’s Danmark Protein has historically served this sector. Post upgrades, the Porteña facility meets these standards, with improved sanitation and operational processes. Collaborations with local dairies, which include training, further ensure material quality.

Andersen added, “Our success in producing infant-grade products in Latin America is due to unwavering dedication and partnerships with local dairies.”

Following June’s upgrades, Arla foresees a surge in infant-grade production.

Arla Foods Ingredients endorses the WHO’s recommendation for exclusive breastfeeding for an infant’s first six months, followed by continued breastfeeding with suitable foods until age two or beyond.

Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas: Another Japanese Investor Sues Bankoh Over Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) Losses

0

Bankoh Investment Services Broker Yoko Farias Sold Risky Offshore Annuity To Foreign National

HOUSTON, Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) represents investors from Asia and Latin America against the many brokerage firms that allegedly unsuitably marketed and sold Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) annuities. One of the broker-dealers we have filed a number of these annuity loss lawsuits against is Bankoh Investment Services. 

In this latest claim, a Tokyo investor is seeking up to $500K damages against the Bank of Hawaii subsidiary. Bankoh broker Yoko Farias is also a respondent in this broker-dealer negligence lawsuit. 

This Northstar (Bermuda) investor is accusing Bankoh and Farias of overconcentrating a huge portion of her assets in this offshore entity, which is no longer in operation and currently undergoing liquidation. The claimant is also alleging negligence, due diligence failures, unsuitability, misrepresentations and omissions, and gross lack of supervision by the brokerage firm.

Although Farias, who has been with Bankoh for 22 years, has no disclosures listed on her CRD, this annuity fraud claim is, in fact, one of a number of Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) fraud lawsuits we have filed against both her and the brokerage firm. Many of our clients are Japanese nationals who worked with Farias. They had sought a safe haven for their assets. Instead she allegedly unsuitably marketed and sold them these risky, unrated bonds in Bermuda.
