Ashland Responsible Solvers™ initiative in Rajasthan, India increases farmers’ yield and income, lowers production costs, expands local economy, and positively impacts the environment

WILMINGTON, Del., April 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ashland Global Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ASH) today announced the first of a series of sustainable business initiatives resulting in positive economic, environment and social impacts from the company’s recently announced Responsible Solvers™ program.

Fueled by the company’s purpose “to responsibly solve for a better world” and deep commitment to social programs focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), Ashland teamed up with the SM Sehgal Foundation in 2021 to think differently about its supplier relationships in India.

The collective goal was to increase the volume of guar harvested annually through educational programs and scientific solutions for sustainable farming, while respecting the sourcing relationships and local cultures of small village farmers in the Sriganganagar district of Rajasthan, India. The relationships are critical to the company which uses guar to formulate specialty ingredients for personal care, life sciences and coatings applications.

The pilot program included 250 farms from 10 villages. Using modern technologies, farmers were taught sustainable agronomic practices and water conservation. The program’s successful results include helping farmers lower their production cost while increasing their crop yield approximately 30 percent. In addition, the program has helped increase farmers’ income, thus expanding the local economy in the small villages.

At the same time, Ashland’s commitment to gender equality led to specific training focused on the local female population to empower them, improve their technical knowledge and skills, and help elevate their standard of living. Based on the success of the pilot, Ashland is moving forward with plans to increase the number of farms to 5,000 by 2025.

Ashland teamed up with the SM Sehgal Foundation to increase the volume of guar harvested annually through educational programs and scientific solutions for sustainable farming, while respecting the sourcing relationships and local cultures of small village farmers in the Sriganganagar district of Rajasthan, India.

In addition to aiding the farmers with guar production, Ashland’s Responsible Solvers™ mindset led the team to also provide training and other technical guidance for mustard and wheat crops during the guar off-season. This training also improved the yield of these crops, making a holistic impact on the farmers’ annual income. More than a year ago, Ashland integrated environment, social and governance (ESG) principles into the company’s strategic operating plans. The company has taken an earnest and heartfelt approach towards sustainability and the local communities in which it operates as it continues to intensify its focus on ESG.

“Our commitment to profitable, sustainable growth includes a strong innovation culture, sustainability-aligned technology portfolio, goals for the environment, social initiatives, and continued strong ethics, compliance, transparency and governance,” said Guillermo Novo, chair and chief executive officer, Ashland. “In this instance, providing STEM skills and education both on and off the field to small farmers is having a very real, positive impact in their lives and in their small village communities. In addition to maximizing shareholder value, as we innovate, Ashland will continue to act in a manner that contributes to the welfare of society and the environment.”

Saturn and Mars to line up in pre-dawn sky Tuesday: Museum

Stargazers will have a chance to see Saturn and Mars in rare proximity in the hours before sunrise Tuesday, the Taipei Astronomical Museum said Monday.

The two planets will be visible low in the eastern sky from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m., separated by only 20 minutes of arc — or one-third of one degree, the museum said.

Put in context, the width of one’s little finger held at arm’s length covers about one degree in the sky.

Both planets will be clearly visible with the naked eye, but because they will appear very low in the sky, observers should select a location that offers an unobstructed view of the eastern horizon, according to the museum.

Saturn and Mars will remain visible for 10 days after Tuesday’s event, which is known in astronomy as a planetary conjunction, the museum said.

The last time the two planets appeared so close together was in 1978, when they were separated by just 6 minutes of arc, or one-tenth of one degree. The next time they will appear as close is in 2036, the museum said.

COVID-19 ward escapee handed 50-day jail sentence

A COVID-19 patient who twice fled a hospital isolation ward last year has been handed a 50-day suspended jail sentence by the Changhua District Court.

The woman surnamed Chou 61, twice ignored instructions from hospital staff to stay in the negative-pressure room at Show Chwan Memorial Hospital in Changhua, where she had been admitted in June 2021, after testing positive for COVID-19, according to the verdict released Monday.

Seven days after being admitted to the isolation ward, Chou was found in a hospital hallway outside of the negative-pressure room and then sent back to the ward.

The same day, shortly after being returned to the ward, Chou again left the negative-isolation room.

According to the court, it took five persons to restrain and then return Chou to the ward the second time, after she was found heading down a staircase outside the ward via an emergency exit.

On March 15, after admitting to the court that she had twice left the negative-isolation room against the instructions of hospital staff, Chou was sentenced to 50 days detention, suspended for two years, for violating the Special Act for Prevention, Relief and Revitalization Measures for Severe Pneumonia with Novel Pathogens.

The act, introduced in May 2021, makes it an offense for those infected with COVID-19 to ignore the instructions of the health care workers and officials if doing so risks spreading the disease.

According to the verdict, Chou left the ward despite being aware of how contagious COVID-19 was and that by doing so she risked infecting others.

The court also instructed Chou to pay NT$20,000 (US$698) to the public treasury within six months of a final verdict being handed out, subject to appeal.

Filipino sports festival celebrates unity and sportsmanship

A two-day basketball and volleyball tournament featuring over a dozen Filipino teams opened Sunday in Taichung in front of hundreds of spectators to promote unity through sports.

The opening ceremony of the CIA-SI Taiwan Sports Fest 2022 began with a march past, during which the teams, comprised of members of the Confederation of Ilocano Association, Inc.-Samahang Ilocano (CIA-SI), an international Filipino organization, were judged on best uniforms and best muses.

The CIA-SI Taiwan’s Tainan chapter won the trophy for “Best in Uniform” for the first time with their distinct yellow and black jerseys that proudly displayed the organization’s seal.

Topped off by a dove, it has a gear, snake, and upward pointing arrow in the circular middle, bordered by laurel leaves.

“The dove represents freedom, while the snake shows our strength,” the chapter’s president, 29-year-old Gerald Saludez, told CNA.

The leaves symbolize the group’s aspiration for academic and professional excellence, the gear represents developing one’s potential and the upward pointing arrow recognizes the supreme creator, according to Emerson Santiago, national chairman of CIA-SI Taiwan.

Members of CIA-SI are mostly of the Philippines’ Ilocano heritage and/or have the capability of speaking and understanding the Ilocano language.

The Ilocanos are one of the largest ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines and trace their origins to the provinces along the northwestern seaboard of Luzon.

Meanwhile, the organization’s Guanyin chapter won the “Best Muse” trophy, which was shared by 27-year-old Oziah Supnet and 4-year-old Francheska Lin.

In Filipino basketball culture, muses are usually women who whip up support for their teams at tournament openings.

Santiago said the tournament is aimed at creating unity, love and respect through sports.

The organization describes its main mission as helping to unify Filipino communities through sports and cultural events and also providing assistance to those in need.

“Our common goal is to help others, just as our elders did when they were here in Taiwan. They helped people in the Philippines,” Santiago said.

CIA-SI Taiwan supports community service through beach cleanup projects and large-scale Filipino cultural events, and also raises funds and donations of goods to help with national disaster relief missions in the Philippines.

“Love, respect, and unity, that is what we promote,” Santiago said.

The second day of the tournament will be held in Kaohsiung’s Daliao District on May 1, with six teams competing in a playoff round before the semifinals, where they will be joined by another team who won a lucky draw.

A total of 12 basketball teams and two volleyball teams competed on the opening day in Taichung.

The CIA-SI tournament has been held annually since 2017, but was not held in 2021 because of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Santiago said.

In Taiwan, CIA-SI has 13 sub-chapters and a sorority chapter with approximately 800 members, mostly Filipino migrant workers with jobs in Taiwan, according to Santiago.

Taiwanese designer hopes Grammy win boosts local indie music scene

One half of the design team behind the sleeve for “Pakelang” winner of Best Recording Package at this year’s Grammy Awards, said he hoped the success would attract more listeners to Taiwan’s independent music scene.

Designer Li Jheng-han and colleague Yu Wei took home the prize at Sunday’s Grammys ceremony in Las Vegas for their work on the album by Taiwanese musicians the 2nd Generation Falangao Singing Group & The Chairman Crossover Big Band.

The 35-year-old Li, who runs a private studio in Taichung primarily focusing on commercial design, said he is often caught up working on projects for independent record labels on the side.

“When helping design an album of this sort, you do it with your life,” Li told CNA.

As a former guitarist for the local indie band Out of Survive Li said he understood the difficulties that musicians outside the mainstream music scene faced when it came to marketing.

With a background in design and recommendations by musician Chen Hsin-hung the Taiwanese said he often helps out designing album packaging.

As a former musician, Li said he hoped to promote the independent music scene through design.

“Because the indie music scene has a smaller audience, everything must be done diligently,” he explained, noting that the conceiving, recording and mixing of “Pakelang,” for example, took two years to complete.

Li said he firmly believed that an album’s visual design can also add value to its music.

The packaging for “Pakelang” features an abstract depiction of Taiwan’s coastline and coastal waves.

According to Wind Music, which produced the album, the design was inspired by Falangao, an Amis village located by the sea in eastern Taiwan’s Taitung County.

“If this album can be presented on the international stage because of its packaging design, that will let more people see it and learn that Taiwan is a country with huge creative energy. I believe design can create very important value in music,” Li added.

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old Yu said after the awards ceremony that she first started out as an intern at Li’s studio while still in university.

She spoke about her passion for design, explaining that she could work for days on a project without getting tired.

“There are certainly stressful times, especially when it comes to projects that need to be rushed. But when they are done, you forget about the pain that you went through,” Yu said.

Li and Yu competed against four other contestants for the Best Recording Package award on Sunday, including fellow Taiwanese designer Xiao Qing-yang who was nominated for his work on the album “Zeta.”

The 64th Annual Grammy Awards were held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Taiwanese companies in locked-down Shanghai facing logistics woes

Taiwanese businesspeople in Shanghai said they were making adjustments to continue operating amid the city’s ongoing lockdown, but warned that severe logistics problems there could derail their efforts.

Shanghai imposed a two-stage lockdown last week, alternately shutting down eastern and western portions of the city from March 28 to April 5 as it struggled to stem its largest COVID-19 outbreak since the start of the pandemic.

Despite the rotating lockdown, the city reported over 9,000 symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 cases on Sunday and said it had begun to test all 26 million of its residents for the disease.

In response to the lockdown, some manufacturers have closed their factories, while others have stayed open by having employees live on-site, one Shanghai-based Taiwanese businessperson told CNA on Monday.

While many companies have been able to shift production to factories outside of the lockdown zone, logistics remained “chaotic,” with large quantities of cargo stuck in Shanghai, the source said, adding that the situation is unlikely to improve until the restrictions are eased.

In neighboring Kunshan, which is under lockdown from April 2 to 6, many factories have opted to “distribute sleeping bags” to employees and have them work in shifts to meet production deadlines, according to a Taiwanese businessperson in the city.

The problem is that “logistics are a mess,” the businessperson fumed, adding that costs were rising and the duration of the shipping delays was still unclear.

Materials Analysis Technology Inc., which runs a lab for a wide range of testing such as material analysis, reliability analysis and failure analysis, said that despite the severity of the current outbreak, many in Shanghai were optimistic that the lockdown will be gradually lifted starting Tuesday due to Shanghai’s importance as China’s largest port and commercial hub.

Still, the situation is likely to take an economic toll, an industry source said, especially among Taiwanese printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers, whose production capacity is heavily concentrated in Kunshan.

Kunshan factories account for 60 percent of the capacity of Taiwan’s Dynamic Electronics, 50 percent of the capacity of Flexium Interconnect, 40 percent of the capacity of Nan Ya PCB Inc., 25 percent of the capacity of Elite Material Co. (EMC) and 20 percent of the capacity Unimicron Technology Corp., according to the source.

Of those companies, Nan Ya PCB, EMC, and Unimicron have all halted operations during the lockdown, while others had already scheduled closures for Tomb Sweeping Day, thus limiting the impact on their operations, the source said.

Kaohsiung Aquas top GhostHawks, stay on top in T1 League

After a first-half struggle, the Kaohsiung Aquas swept past the Tainan TSG GhostHawks on Sunday to extend their lead atop the standings of the pro basketball T1 LEAGUE.

The Aquas were down 38-37 at halftime after shooting an anemic 15-49 from the floor, and fell further behind when GhostHawks small forward Tsai Yao-hsun drained a three-pointer just 19 seconds into the third quarter.

But the Aquas quickly flipped the script, going on a 7-0 run led by point guard Yu Huan-ya to take a 44-41 lead, and they never looked back.

They outscored the GhostHawks 25-12 the rest of the quarter to take a 16-point lead into the final 12 minutes and finished the blowout with a 33-24 fourth quarter to win 102-77 and improve their record to 18-6, 2 1/2 games clear of the second-place Taichung Wagor Suns.

The GhostHawks remained in last in the six-team T1 League with a 4-19 record.

Aquas head coach Brendan Joyce said his team did not take their opponents for granted and rebounded and defended well.

“We respect everybody, we respect the GhostHawks. We never take anybody easy and because of that respect, we got the job done,” Joyce said.

The Aquas outrebounded the GhostHawks 59-43. Aquas center Mindaugas Kupsas led his team with a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds.

The 2.17-meter Lithuanian has been a key figure for the Aquas in the paint, earning him the honor of import player of the month for February.

Matched up against Kupsas on Sunday was 2.11-meter GhostHawks center William Artino, who had 19 points and 17 rebounds of his own.

On Monday in the T1 LEAGUE, the TaiwanBeer HeroBears topped the New Taipei CTBC DEA 95-91 on their homecourt at the University of Taipei’s Tianmu campus gym.

Junshi Biosciences Announces FDA Approval of Investigational New Drug Application for Anti-CD112R Monoclonal Antibody for Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors

SHANGHAI, China, April 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co., Ltd (“Junshi Biosciences,” HKEX: 1877; SSE: 688180), a leading innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapies, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for its anti-CD112R monoclonal antibody (TAB009/JS009) for the treatment of advanced solid tumors.

TAB009/JS009 is a recombinant humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody against human CD112R developed independently by Junshi Biosciences, for the treatment of advanced malignant tumors. CD112R, also known as PVRIG (Poliovirus receptor-related immunoglobulin domain-containing protein), is a new immune checkpoint pathway discovered by the company. Dr. Sheng Yao, Senior Vice President of the company, is one of the discoverers of this novel pathway.

CD112R is a single-pass transmembrane protein of the PVR family, mainly expressed on T cells and NK cells, and is significantly upregulated upon activation. CD112R and TIGIT share a common ligand, CD112, which is expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells and certain tumor cells. CD112R can inhibit the anti-tumor effect of T cells and NK cells after ligand engagement. TAB009/JS009 binds specifically to CD112R with high affinity and effectively blocks the interaction between CD112R and its ligand CD112, thereby facilitating the activation and proliferation of T cells and NK cells and enhancing the immune system’s ability to kill tumor cells. To date, no product targeting CD112R has been approved for marketing globally.

TIGIT is another immunosuppressive target of the PVR family. Its ligands include PVR and CD112, and its binding site for CD112 is different from that of CD112R. TAB009/JS009 can work synergistically with TIGIT blocking antibodies to promote T cell activation. Pre-clinical in vivo pharmacodynamics has shown that TAB009/JS009 in combination with the anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody (TAB006/JS006) developed independently by the company exhibits significant synergistic anti-tumor effects. The investigational new drug application for TAB006/JS006 has already been approved by both China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and the U.S. FDA.

In addition, TAB009/JS009 in combination with TAB006/JS006 as well as the company’s commercialized product toripalimab, the anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, can further increase T-cell activation and improve the efficacy of clinical treatment. Junshi Biosciences plans to actively explore drug combinations to maximize the synergistic anti-tumor potential of its self-developed products.

About Junshi Biosciences
Founded in December 2012, Junshi Biosciences (HKEX: 1877; SSE: 688180) is an innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative therapeutics. The company has established a diversified R & D pipeline comprising over 50 drug candidates, with five therapeutic focus areas covering cancer, autoimmune, metabolic, neurological, and infectious diseases. Junshi Biosciences was the first Chinese pharmaceutical company that obtained marketing approval for anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in China. Its first-in-human anti-BTLA monoclonal antibody for tumors was the first in the world to be approved for clinical trials by the FDA and NMPA and has since entered Phase Ib/II trials in both China and the US. Its anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody was the first in China to be approved for clinical trials by the NMPA.

In the face of the pandemic, Junshi Biosciences’ response was strong and immediate, joining forces with Chinese and international scientific research institutions and enterprises to develop an arsenal of drug candidates to combat COVID-19, taking the initiative to shoulder the social responsibility of Chinese pharmaceutical companies by prioritizing and accelerating COVID-19 R&D. Among the many drug candidates is JS016 (etesevimab), China’s first neutralizing fully human monoclonal antibody against SARS-CoV-2 and the result of the combined efforts of Junshi Biosciences, the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Science and Lilly. JS016 administered with bamlanivimab has been granted Emergency Use Authorizations (“EUA”) in over 15 countries and regions worldwide. Meanwhile, VV116, a new oral nucleoside analog anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug designed to hinder virus replication, is in global Phase III clinical trials. The JS016 and VV116 programs are a part of the company’s continuous innovation for disease control and prevention of the global pandemic.

Junshi Biosciences has more than 2,800 employees in the United States (San Francisco and Maryland) and China (Shanghai, Suzhou, Beijing and Guangzhou). For more information, please visit: http://junshipharma.com.
