(Adnkronos) – SEONGNAM, South Korea, May 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — SK bioscience, a global innovative vaccine and biotech company committed to promoting human health from prevention to cure, has announced today the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has granted Marketing Authorization (MA) for SK bioscience's COVID-19 vaccine SKYCovion™ (brand name in Korea: SKYCovione™) as a primary series for strong immunization to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 18 years of age and older. It becomes the 8th COVID-19 vaccine authorized by the UK's independent medicines regulator. The authorization covers England, Scotland, and Wales. The MHRA's decision is based on data from the Phase III trial that showed the vaccine induced neutralizing antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 parental strain and had a standard safety and reactogenicity profile after administered as a primary vaccination of two doses. Jaeyong Ahn, CEO of SK bioscience said, "We are delighted with the MHRA's authorization of Korea's first COVID-19 vaccine SKYCovion. This is the result of our commitment to protecting and promoting global public health. We are confident it will be the milestone to solidify our position in the global market amid the transition of the pandemic to the endemic phase." SKYCovion, the protein-based vaccine developed with GSK's pandemic adjuvant, can be stored between 2-8 degrees Celsius, making it suitable to use in countries where ultra-low cold chain channels are not available. This helps achieving the vaccine equity and vaccination coverage in low-income countries. SK bioscience has also applied for an Emergency Use Listing (EUL) from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Marketing Authorization (MA) from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). SKYCovion is jointly developed with the Institute for Protein Design (IPD) from the University of Washington School of Medicine. The development of SKYCovion has been supported by funding from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) with support from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme, and its pre-clinical trials have been funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. SKYCovion is the world's first-ever vaccine developed using the RoseTTAFold, a software tool that uses deep learning to quickly and accurately predict protein structures based on limited information. The RoseTTAFold was designed as a three-track neural network developed by the University of Washington. SK bioscience is expanding its portfolio to secure its competitiveness in the endemic phase of the pandemic by developing 1) universal pan-sarbecovirus vaccines funded by CEPI, 2) polyvalent vaccines, and conducting the pre-clinical trials for 3) mRNA vaccine platform development funded by CEPI and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. About SK bioscience SK bioscience is a global innovative vaccine and biotech company, standing committed to global pandemic preparedness in vaccine development and manufacturing to create more equitable access to vaccines. In leveraging strengths on cutting-edge vaccine development technologies, SK bioscience has been dedicated to promoting human health from prevention to cure across the globe. Under collaborations of domestic and international governments, regulatory agencies, healthcare providers, doctors and medical experts, SK bioscience has firmly established globally certified R&D and manufacturing technologies.

(Adnkronos) – Mercoledì a Budapest l’atto finale della competizione, con i giallorossi che cercano il secondo trionfo consecutivo dopo quello in Conference. Nella lavagna per la vittoria contando anche supplementari e rigori, stessa offerta: 1,90  Milano, 30 maggio 2023 – Vincere l’Europa League contro la regina dell’Europa League. Questo il piano diabolico della Roma e di José Mourinho: mercoledì sera, a Budapest, si gioca la finale di una competizione che gli andalusi hanno conquistato sei volte, e che la Roma proverà invece a fare sua un anno dopo il trionfo di Tirana in Conference League. Non sarà facile, perché gli spagnoli dopo una stagione tribolata si sono ripresi grazie anche al lavoro di Mendilibar, il terzo allenatore stagionale, ma la Roma vuole provarci. Le quote Snai vedono in leggerissimo vantaggio il Siviglia, favorito nei 90 minuti a 2,75: il «2» paga 2,90, infine il pareggio – che porterebbe le squadre ai supplementari, visto che fanno fede i tempi regolamentari – a 2,95. Nell’opzione “coppa in mano”, però, l’equilibrio torna perfetto, con Siviglia e Roma (i giallorossi giocano formalmente in trasferta) a 1,90. I bookmaker non si attendono una finale con molti gol: la forbice tra l’Under a 1,48 e l’Over a 2,50 è larghissima, mentre si stringe nell’opzione Goal/No Goal: il risultato con entrambe le squadre a segno paga 2,00, quello con almeno una a secco 1,70. Il risultato più probabile? L’1-1 a 5,75, poi lo 0-0 a 6,75 e l’1-0 a 7,00. La vittoria della Roma con la quota più bassa nei 90’ è lo 0-1 a 7,25.  
Supplementari e rigori E se si andasse oltre? Il Siviglia resta con una punta di vantaggio, visto che il successo ai supplementari si gioca a 9,50, contro il 10 legato alla Roma. Ai rigori, invece, è una lotteria anche nelle quote: 8,50 per Mendilibar, 8,50 per Mourinho.  
Marcatori Tra i possibili marcatori, domina il marocchino En-Nesyri, a 3,00; poi Paulo Dybala, che non è al meglio ma vuole esserci. Un gol dell’argentino vale 3,75, così come per Abraham. Scendendo, si trovano Ocampos e Rafa Mir a 4,50, Belotti e l’ex Lamela a 5,00, poi ancora un quartetto a 6,00 formato da Pellegrini, Bryan Gil, Suso ed El Shaarawy.  Ufficio stampa Snaitech  E-mail: ufficio.stampa@snaitech.it

(Adnkronos) – VIENNA, May 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The I2LEC pledge, presented by the Ministry of Interior of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), gained support from more than 20 countries and civil society organizations from across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia and North and South America. The pledge was conceptualized by the Global Expert Working Group which gathers representatives of the UAE Ministry of Interior, UNODC and its partners to provide strategic guidance to I2LEC, a platform coordinating global law enforcement community's response to climate change. The side event, organized on the occasion of the 32nd session of the UN CCPCJ, was a panel discussion between senior officials of the UAE, the UNODC, INTERPOL and the Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI). During the discussion, the panellists highlighted the importance of giving law enforcement agencies the means to effectively address crimes that affect the environment, including by supporting further research and analysis into the patterns, trends and impacts of such crimes. They also stressed the importance of involving the international law enforcement community in the climate change dialogue, to better anticipate and mitigate related challenges that may impact law enforcement operations. Presenting the I2LEC pledge, H.H. Lieutenant General Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior of the United Arab Emirates said: "Law enforcement agencies face a constant dual imperative: to combat the criminal threats of today and to pre-empt the challenges of tomorrow. There is perhaps no bigger challenge we collectively face than the threat posed by climate change. This harsh reality needs to be recognized on a global scale in order to ensure better management of rapidly evolving and challenging climate change scenarios. The wide support that I2LEC pledge has received from more than 20 Member States and international partners immediately after its launch makes us very optimistic about the success of our combined response to this challenge. Under the strategic guidance and directions of the UAE's leadership, the I2LEC pledge continues to be circulated throughout the international community for further endorsement, with the aim of gathering the broadest possible support to the initiative by raising global awareness, enhancing international and interagency cooperation, operational and research capacities, as well as encouraging law enforcement agencies to transition to low-carbon models, among other priorities. We expect it to serve as a model framework for increasing global law enforcement community's resilience to climate change." The UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior further described the pledge as a unique opportunity to raise the profile of law enforcement agencies' role in climate change mitigation, ahead of the COP28 that will be hosted in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from 30 November to 12 December 2023. Ms. Ghada Waly, Director General of the UN Office at Vienna and Executive Director of UNODC commented on the unveiling of the I2LEC pledge: "Organized crime poses a major threat to our environment, with organized criminal groups around the world are exploiting the environment and its resources. This exploitation has a serious impact on our ecosystems and on the lives of millions of people who depend on these natural resources for their livelihoods. It is our hope that the I2LEC pledge announced by the UAE will serve as a call to action for the global law enforcement community to foster greater cooperation in the fight against crimes that affect the environment. UNODC stands ready to support law enforcement agencies in their efforts, by contributing its research capacity as well as the wealth of experience and expertise available under its Global Programmes that focus on crimes that affect the environment and the international legal framework including the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the United Nations standards and norms relevant to law enforcement mandates and functions." The pledge is currently being circulated by the UAE Ministry of Interior to gather the broadest possible support for I2LEC. Among its main priorities, the initiative aims to increase awareness and knowledge about crimes that affect the environment and their impacts to better inform law enforcement policies, strategies, practices and operations; enhance law enforcement agencies' capacity as well as interagency and international cooperation to prevent and combat such crimes, and to effectively carry out their mandates and functions in the context of evolving and emerging challenges posed by climate change; and encourage the adoption of sustainable practices by law enforcement agencies. In addition to I2LEC, the UAE Ministry of Interior has established the Secure Communities Forum (SCF) which, in partnership with the Joint Environmental Unit (JEU) of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), has launched one of the world's first training programmes dedicated to educating frontline first responders and law enforcement officers on the impacts of climate change for routine emergencies and disaster scenarios. Drawing upon international expertise in the law enforcement, climate, public safety and humanitarian fields, it offers a much-needed universal training on the evolving challenges of climate change. Trainees will receive a certificate from the SCF and the UN JEU upon completion of the training modules. Access to the training can be found here: https://learning.eecentre.org/course/view.php?id=44
