[Image: Korindo]Korindo Foundation Chairman Robert Seung performed the handing-over ceremony with Bogor's acting regent Iwan Setiawan, the handover fulfilling the region's dream of owning a lush urban forest. Pakansari City Forest is, in fact, the first wooded area to be established in Bogor Regency."Through the Green Collaboration program, Korindo Group and Foundation are committed to supporting government efforts that keep our country's natural environment and our beloved Earth sustainable," said Robert Seung in his opening speech.This green space was actually a part of the regency government's masterplan, but for several reasons, its construction was put on hold. The project only saw the light in November 2019, when Korindo Foundation agreed to help out with the development.And that's how the commitment to revitalize the land outside Pakansari Stadium began. Starting with 1,294 Eucalyptus deglupta saplings, the Foundation kept planting until a total of 1,800 trees were reached, adorning a two-hectare area that's sectioned into six planting zones.For the next step, tree and land maintenance, local residents were given a chance to participate. Together with the Foundation, they conducted regular plant care that involved cutting weeds, cleaning up fallen branches, and pulling tangled weeds."After three years, I think we can all see how these seeds we planted have very much thrived and grown so large, making this place greener and much more pleasant to the eye. And from this forest, we can enjoy cleaner and fresher air," said Robert Seung.About KorindoKorindo Group (Korindo) was established in 1969, and consists of companies engaged in the field of natural resources, industrial paper manufacturing, heavy industry, logistics, finance, and property.

Rare Artworks by Picasso and UAE Royal Family Member to be Auctioned together for the First Time

9 2 月, 2023
DUBAI, Feb 9, 2023 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The Rare Antiquities is revolutionising the way museums and galleries are presented in the web 3.0 space through their unique technology. By making high-value art available to everyone, regardless of the budget. It is the first platform to fractionalise a Banksy and distribute the fractionalised pieces as individual NFTs, customisable in size. They have live fractionalised auctions scheduled throughout 2023 for art and antiquities valued at over $1Bn. To start off the year The Rare Antiquities will host one of their first auctions on the 12th of February 2023. The Red carpet event will take place in Sama L Ain Gallery in Dubai where three Picassos and one painting created by one of the members of the Ras Al Khaimah Royal Family will be auctioned for shared ownership. The main aim of the event is to allow the appreciation of art to rise through shared ownership by giving more people the opportunity to own a piece of it.The painting that will be featured in the auction was created by Artist Noora Alredhwan, the Mother of Sheikh Humaid Bin Khalid Al Qasimi. It is dedicated to the 50 year anniversary of the UAE. During EXPO 2020 Dubai it was displayed in the UAE Pavilion for six months. Now, for the first time, it will be accessible for the public. One of the paintings on auction features a lithography that Pablo Picasso created a few years after the end of the second world war, in 1949. Picasso was particularly passionate about this technique, where stone or metal are treated in a way so that it can be painted or printed on. Another one of the Picasso paintings was created in 1945, using the gouache technique with opaque watercolor, ink and wash on paper. One of Picasso's later works, "Like an animal", which was created in 1957 will also be part of the auction.Ryan Howells, Founder of The Rare Antiquities, commented on the project and explains the motivation behind it: "The fractionalisaton of art represents a new paradigm fostering a new approach to the appreciation of art. Through this event we hope to bring together like minded people where they can enjoy what each art piece has to offer."One of the hosts of this special event is Sheikh Humaid Bin Khalid Al Qasimi. This auction is not just about the art, it's about bringing to market a new way of sharing ownership of artwork that at any other time would be inaccessible to the majority of people."For us, art is an important channel to connect with society. It is about accessibility: One aspect of this initiative is that sharing our own artwork with the people brings us closer to the public. Another aspect is that technology enables shared ownership, which allows for more people to access this art," said Sheikh Humaid Bin Khalid Al Qasimi.Mohamed Al Banna, initiator and mentor of the the initiative said: "The collaboration with The Rare Antiquities follows our mission of building bridges: On the one hand we're building a bridge between Royal families and the people through art, and on the other hand we create access to highly curated art, like the Picasso works, for a larger audience and not just a few privileged people."The Rare Antiquities brings museums and galleries to the Metaverse with Rare City which also hosts districts for education, charity, crowdfunding and more. AURA Skypool Lounge, the world's highest 360 degree infinity pool, will now be made available to everyone through a digital space created in the Metaverse.The move into the Metaverse for the destination is being curated by Rare City which is a part of The Rare Antiquities that leverages blockchain technology for the Rare City Metaverse. This is the first of many venues 'The Rare City' plans to bring into the Metaverse, allowing people to relive a memory, experience or a unique adventure from anywhere.

To Develop Japan’s First Blood Biomarker-Based Diagnostic Workflow for Dementia Shimadzu, Eisai, Oita University, and Usuki City Medical Association Commence Joint Research

22 11 月, 2022
TOKYO, Nov 22, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Shimadzu Corporation (Shimadzu), Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai), Oita University, and Usuki City Medical Association hereby announce the commencement of a cohort study using Usuki City as a demonstration site. This joint study will attempt to develop Japan's first diagnostic workflow for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) that uses blood biomarkers. In accordance with "Guidelines for Proper Use of Cerebrospinal Fluid and Blood Biomarkers in Dementia"(1), this study aims to demonstrate the utility of blood biomarkers and improve the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease within a coordinated system of medical care that encompasses primary care physicians and specialists who are members of dementia-related medical societies.In cases of Alzheimer's disease, which is said to account for more than 60% of dementia cases, amyloid beta (Abeta, a protein thought to cause AD) starts aggregating in the brain around 20 years before AD onset. Positron emission tomography (amyloid PET) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) testing are used to estimate the degree of Aβ accumulation in the brain, but only a limited number of facilities are capable of performing these investigations and the high cost of testing and physical stress involved due to the invasiveness of these investigations also pose a challenge. The increased use of blood biomarkers is expected to reduce the burden on patients.Study SchemaUsuki City Medical Association will recruit applicants (50 years and older) who wish to participate in the study. Primary care physicians affiliated with Usuki City Medical Association will perform simple cognitive function tests on applicants and select around 200 people with suspected MCI or mild dementia. Specialists affiliated with Usuki City Medical Association Cosmos Hospital (Cosmos Hospital) will then take an in-depth medical history and perform more detailed cognitive function tests before making a final selection of 100 subjects with MCI or mild dementia who are suspected of having Alzheimer's disease. Shimadzu will be responsible for analyzing and evaluating blood biomarker data obtained using Shimadzu's Amyloid MS CL system for measuring amyloid peptides in blood (Amyloid MS CL)(2). Primary care physicians affiliated with Usuki City Medical Association and specialists affiliated with Cosmos Hospital will present and explain test results to participants, evaluate the psychological impact of these results, and provide ongoing medical care as needed. At the Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, Oita University, detailed cognitive function tests will be performed, a self-assessed measurement of brain health will be performed using the "NouKNOW"(3) tool developed by Eisai, Aβ accumulation will be checked by amyloid PET, and the utility of blood biomarkers will be verified. Eisai will use its expertise in dementia research to propose ideas and assist with study planning and provide advice on methods of analyzing and reviewing test results and psychological impact. All four parties will combine findings from evaluating the clinical performance of blood biomarkers and the psychological effects of disclosing test results to ascertain the acceptability of blood biomarkers under actual clinical conditions.With this joint research, the four parties aim to establish a new diagnostic workflow for Alzheimer's disease that is based on blood biomarkers and includes primary care physicians. Through this work, the four parties are committed to building an ecosystem that improves the early detection of Alzheimer's disease and to developing social infrastructure that allows those concerned and their families to live in peace and security.(1) Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Grants for Scientific Research, Study Group, March 31, 2021. www.neurology-jp.org/guidelinem/pdf/dementia_biomarker.pdf(2) Amyloid MS CL is a product that measures amyloid peptides (the main component of amyloid plaques, which are a characteristic feature of Alzheimer's disease) in the blood and provides biomarker data related to amyloid beta levels.

Metafluence Announces the Usage of Hyper-realistic Metahumans in the Metaverse

27 9 月, 2022
LONDON, UK, Sept 27, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Metafluence, an immersive, live, and influencer-driven social Metaverse with several virtual properties for influencers, brands, and everyone, has announced the usage of hyper-realistic metahumans in the Metaverse. While metahumans have existed for a long time, Metafluence is deploying them to its virtual city, Metafluence City.Metafluence City aims to connect brands, influencers, and their audience in the Metaverse. Through this city, Metafluence will grant users an opportunity to showcase and auction NFTs, organize meetings and conferences, set up e-commerce stores, buy virtual properties like plots of land, and regularly interact with influencers and brands globally.Launched on August 10, 2022, Metafluence's hyper-realistic metahumans will advance widespread adoption and onboard more users to the emerging virtual world.Hyper-realistic Metahumans and the Metafluence City Metafluence has designed several hyper-realistic metahumans and is gradually deploying them into the Metaverse. The first metahuman, Luna, is a compassionate, kind, entertaining, super mysterious, and intelligent influencer who regularly educates users about the potential of artificial intelligence [AI] and how its global adoption can be a profitable venture. Luna loves to show her reaction to current AI, NFT, and Metaverse news on social media, and Metafluence hopes these reactions will help drive more users.Metafluence's hyper-realistic metahumans are high fidelity and capable of replicating the owner's physical appearance in a digital format. They are designed to imitate and mimic their owner's behavior and serve as avatars on the Metaverse. Additionally, when successfully integrated with AI, as Metafluence plans, they can function independently as AI-built metahumans and influencers in the Metaverse.A Historic Day for the Metafluence Team Metafluence also launched the hyper-realistic city, Metafluence City, on August 10, 2022, alongside the metahumans. The Metafluence City is an influencer-driven, Metaverse-based city for brands, influencers, and millions of fans worldwide to conveniently buy virtual properties, socialize, and interact with millions of others. The Hyper-realistic world of Metafluence City is built on four fundamental pillars: virtual spaces (Land Plots and Metahuts), high-fidelity avatars (Metahumans), socialization, and monetization (new income models).Engraved as a historic day for the Metafluence team, August 10 saw, for the first time, Metafluence team members, influencers, community members, brands, KOLs, and fans spend ample time with their respective avatars.Since that unforgettable day, the Metafluence team has continued to regularly make updates to the virtual city to guarantee users a better user experience. The Metafluence Alpha Testing version of the virtual town was the team's first foray into the global stage, offering exceptional features ranging from avatar-to-avatar interactions to group socializations, voice chat, text chat, creation of numerous avatars, video recording, etc.Metafluence, through these hyper-realistic metahumans and the Metafluence City, hopes to pioneer a new trend in the Metaverse. Many large companies and global brands have joined the Metaverse and Web3 trend. However, the critical problem still stays—Mass Adoption.Metafluence understands the barrier and how to knock it down, hence the development of an easy-to-use social metaverse platform incentivizing influencers to bring fans into their virtual spaces and keep them hanging around by engaging in one-to-one immersive formats. Thanks to its influencer-driven nature, Metafluence City will bring together audiences of various influencers from all nationalities and industries.About MetafluenceMetafluence is the first influencer-driven Metaverse platform to provide users with a virtual city to connect with brands, influencers, and millions of fans.
