POWERCHINA actively contributes to the development and welfare of local communities in central and western Africa

BEIJING, Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — This is reported by China Report ASEAN affiliated to China Report:

“Building quality projects and making friends from all over the world” has been the goal and commitment of POWERCHINA, the world’s largest builder of power facilities, in its overseas operations. The company is actively involved in the construction of the Belt and Road projects and has expanded its construction business to African countries. Apart from improving waterways, supplying electricity, and building roads and bridges, the firm has been fulfilling its social responsibility to local communities in the overseas markets.

POWERCHINA has been contributing to the local realization of the UN development goals by driving employment through new hydropower infrastructure, developing skills of local people through trainings, providing assistance in education and care of orphans, building hospitals and donating medicines. Its efforts to spread love and hope in Africa have helped it establish sincere friendship with local governments and people.

Nurturing local talents

The Djibloho Hydropower Plant, which is hailed by the government of Equatorial Guinea as the “Three Gorges Project of Equatorial Guinea,” meets 90 percent of the country’s demand for electricity and is an important engine for its economic development. POWERCHINA trained local employees and helped them learn skills. A two-month Chinese training session free of charge was also provided by the company to facilitate communication between local operators and Chinese engineers, and help local employees better operate the equipment of the plant.

Care for children

In Cameroon, POWERCHINA’s office has a heart-warming tradition. Around Christmas and New Year’s Day each year, the office would cooperate with member companies of the group to hold voluntary activities in schools and orphanages in the areas along the roads it is building. They would repair classrooms and donate stationery for the children, and sing and dance with them to celebrate the New Year.

According to Ngangoua Serge, POWERCHINA’s representative in Cameroon, the company cares about the disadvantaged groups in Cameroon. Since it began operating in the country in 2010, the company has held similar donation activities every year, in a bid to bring love and happiness to children in need.

Medical support

The company has also helped improve local medical conditions in places where its projects are located by building hospitals and donating medicines and facilities.

New Niefang Hospital, a landmark Chinese Government aid project in the country to be completed by POWERCHINA by 2022, will strengthen the medical system in central Equatorial Guinea and will provide quality medical services to residents in and around the city of Niefang.

In Cameroon, the company donated medicines and medical equipment to a public health center near the site of a dam to be built by it. The urgently needed medicines and medical equipment greatly strengthened the center’s confidence in fighting infectious diseases and saving lives.

On January 29, 2019, the company’s Equatorial Guinea office assisted the Chinese Embassy and the Chinese medical team in the country to carry out a free clinic at the company’s camp for Djibloho Hydropower Plant. The free clinic held with the assistance of POWERCHINA is a testament to the friendship between the two countries and a manifestation of the active fulfillment of social responsibilities by Chinese companies in Equatorial Guinea.

Why SNOMED CT? New platform presents a refreshed case for investing in the comprehensive clinical terminology

SNOMED International released today its refreshed SNOMED CT Case for Investment report.

London, United Kingdom, Dec. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SNOMED International released today its refreshed SNOMED CT Case for Investment report. Available on a new interactive platform, the Case for Investment presents evidence that SNOMED CT adds measurable value to a broad range of primary and secondary health processes leveraging SNOMED CT encoded data to enable improved patient outcomes. Through the narrative, the report provides accessible and understandable answers to questions such as, “what is SNOMED CT?”, ‘what makes SNOMED CT unique?’, “how and where is it in use globally?” and “why invest in SNOMED CT?”

SNOMED CT, the most comprehensive and multilingual clinical healthcare terminology in the world, possesses unique characteristics that differentiate it from other classifications and terminologies. Among these characteristics are SNOMED CT’s position as a core reference terminology, its clinically comprehensive 350,000+ concepts supported by a machine-readable semantic network, broad use and mandate in select countries.

Showcasing real world use and outcomes of SNOMED CT is the best way to demonstrate its value, understanding that SNOMED CT must be embedded in a clinical information system, health data & analytics platform or an interoperability solution for it to function. Through the Case for Investment, 10 examples of SNOMED CT use across data entry and integration, clinical information sharing, point of care analytics, population and management analytics and research domains have been featured. Ranging across different countries such as Australia, Canada, China, United Kingdom, United States, continued collection of additional SNOMED CT case studies remains an ongoing priority.

SNOMED International CEO, Don Sweete, commented on the development and outcomes of the Case for Investment. “There has been a tremendous evolution in SNOMED CT over the past 10 years and this report demonstrates the value that it offers healthcare systems and stakeholders worldwide” said Sweete. “With a complement of 41 Members that represent health systems globally, continuously refreshed knowledge and analysis on the nature, utility and value of standards like SNOMED CT can’t be overstated. Health system decision-makers need to be equipped with clear knowledge of how their investments in SNOMED CT translate into positive outcomes for the health of their nation’s citizens.”

In terms of conclusions, the report presents SNOMED CT as a scalable and “fit for purpose” clinical terminology, adhering to international criteria, data quality and suitability requirements. A part of the bigger picture, SNOMED CT is one of many contributing factors to improving patient outcomes, and studies show that the use of SNOMED CT-embedded systems can provide significant qualitative and quantitative patient outcome benefits.

Looking forward, SNOMED CT must also contemplate how it enables the future needs of medicine and research. A healthcare industry that is ever evolving, the future opportunities for SNOMED CT will be driven by new healthcare data sources and new healthcare technologies such as national cohorts, big data and AI, clinical genomics, phenomics and environment, etc.

Blue California Expands Natural Flavor and Fragrance Portfolio with Production of Clean, Natural, and Sustainable Nerolidol

Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., Dec. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blue California announced the expansion of its natural flavor and fragrance portfolio of captive ingredients by producing a clean, sustainable nerolidol.

Nerolidol is a rare sesquiterpene alcohol ubiquitous in nature and found in many flowers and plants, particularly in Seville orange flower, also known as Neroli, which gives the aroma chemical its name.

It is recognized for its floral, woody aroma and can also be described as a fresh scent, blending well with citrus, apple, or rose but light enough to complement any type of scent or flavor. Nerolidol is therefore ideal for use in many applications and known for its relaxing effects.

Many brands looking to make products at a large scale using nerolidol find it to be cost-prohibitive and, for that reason, it hasn’t been widely used in modern-day product applications.

Yet, consumers seek clean-label fragrance products that are easy on the planet and fit into the clean and conscious fragrance and beauty movement. The Innova Beauty & Personal Care Survey 2020 notes that 51% of global consumers indicate that natural ingredients are very or extremely important to them when purchasing fragrances.

“Biotechnology is opening doors to sustainable ingredients that weren’t previously possible,” said Kathy Oglesby, head of flavors and fragrances at Blue California. “Our collaboration with innovation partner Conagen provides efficient and effective commercialization, leading us to deliver to our client-creators a full range of captive ingredients, trademarked Plantarôme,™ for use in our flavors and fragrances.”

Nerolidol is first in a full range of natural ingredients in the 2022 pipeline of Blue California’s Taste, Smell, and Beauty Division. Conagen develops one of the most high-yielding fermentation platforms for producing sesquiterpenes and lactones.

With its functional advantages in many industries due to its moderate polarity and optical activity, nerolidol is also a useful, sustainable fine chemical intermediate.

“Nerolidol is a foundational material with many uses in many markets. Plantarôme™ S is a sandalwood type material, and Plantarôme™ M, which is a natural musk, are both creating a lot of excitement in the marketplace,” said Oglesby.

Until now, synthetic musk was primarily used in the fragrance industry because traditional musk sources were wild plants, too rare to be useful, or wild animals, like musk deer and civet cats, too endangered to be ethical. Conagen and Blue California have teamed together to develop a modern, one-of-a-kind, natural, domestic plant-derived musk that is safe, versatile, and biodegradable.

“The launch of nerolidol is symbolic of the collaboration between Blue California and Conagen as we advance in the markets we can serve,” said Casey Lippmeier, Ph.D. vice president of innovation at Conagen. “Together, we are revolutionizing the flavor and fragrance ingredient industry with our disruptive capabilities for producing clean, sustainable solutions and product applications.”

About Blue California

Blue California is an entrepreneurial, science-based solutions provider and manufacturer of clean, natural, and sustainable ingredients used in food, beverage, flavor, fragrance, dietary supplements, personal care, and cosmetic products. For more than 25 years, Blue California has built a strong reputation for creating value in these diverse natural products and nature-inspired industries. www.bluecal-ingredients.com
