biological characterization to give a complete evaluation of the clinical performance These aspects are of particular importance in emergency situations in which the time period for vaccine development and production is extremely critical NVs bring the hope to reduce and/or avoid carrier immunogenicity and to permit an efficient prime–boost strategy with the same carrier which can be used for the further dose administration of a COVID-19 vaccine (as it is for annual influenza) in response to the emerging variants or to exploit the same NC in vaccines against other pathogens To design vaccines able to induce an optimal response it is essential to optimize their immunogenicity without enhancing reactogenicity a commonly shared characterization strategy is important during the preclinical development and would also help regulators to better and faster assess the product efficacy and safety Schematic representation of different NPs used for mRNA structural lipid

methods when needed The different techniques (and especially the most innovative ones) will need both reference materials and standard methods to ensure the required confidence in the measurements The optimized characterization will play a key role in the fast development of the ‘next generation’ NVs that ideally will be stable at room temperature and so require less stringent storage conditions and therefore be simpler to produce and deliver This would be particularly relevant for regulators to support the assessment of novel vaccines and speed up the approval process international collaboration has a key role to develop validate and apply measurement methods and standards in NVs industry and regulatory agencies should join forces to identify and prioritize specific measurements

More than two years later, however, Tigray still faces immense political and humanitarian challenges. Assefa Leake Gebru, who has studied post-war Tigray Additionally, the leaders of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front are now fighting among themselves for power The division is mainly between two factions: one led by former regional president Debretsion Gebremichael and the other by Getachew Reda with Tigrayans calling for a separation between the military and politics This internal division has weakened the interim administration, which was installed as part of the Pretoria agreement in March 2023 the interim administration remains fragile amid serious humanitarian concerns and security threats facing the region The interim government and dysfunctional law enforcement institutions aren’t strong enough to fix things Economically, jobs remain scarce. A 2024 survey found a youth unemployment rate of 81% This situation has been created by economic collapse asset plunder during the war and the absence of a functioning government Socially, people are stressed and hurting like a community still reeling from a major fallout It’s a pile-up of problems that are making life incredibly tough The Pretoria agreement is an important peace deal between Tigray’s political leaders and the federal government The African Union facilitated the peace talks hosted by South Africa The goal of the agreement keep people safe by calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities disarm Tigray fighters and set up an interim government to restore order It also aimed to re-establish the Ethiopian government’s control over federal installations in Tigray The Pretoria agreement established the interim government like banks reopening and planes flying again A few Tigray fighters have put down their weapons They’re preventing internally displaced persons from going back home The plan to fully disarm Tigrayan fighters hasn’t been completed either undermines peace efforts and increases the risk of renewed violence First, the region’s humanitarian crisis could worsen. An estimated one million displaced people are grappling with high levels of food insecurity, and thousands of schools remain closed A weak interim government and the continued occupation of parts of Tigray by armed groups has hindered the restoration of services and stifled economic progress the division within the Tigray People’s Liberation Front makes it hard to lead the region under an interim administration A lack of consensus on power-sharing has hindered effective governance undermining the intended transitional authority a weak interim government can’t keep civilians safe which was a pillar of the Pretoria agreement the lack of jobs and skyrocketing prices are hitting Tigrayans hard If these tensions keep up, Tigray will remain stuck in an awful cycle. The African Union and international community must address these issues to prevent a spiral into further chaos. I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent.

The expansion is part of a £300million development which also includes the construction of a hotel, shops and food and drink outlets as well as a new 3,000-capacity covered fan zone. Khaldoon says it will also not be the last improvement at the stadium. “It’s very exciting,” he said. “Every year there’s always something new, every year, because there’s always a need to improve and evolve and grow. We don’t stand still. We never stood still. “Every couple of years we will do something, whether it’s the Tunnel Club, whether it’s the new stands, whether it’s the seating. “And now we’re going to have a wonderful, wonderful development around it that’s going to just enhance the whole area, is going to be great for the fans and it’s going to bring, I think, positive revenue for the club. “We’re always in growth mode, we’re never in contentment and pause and ‘let’s just milk the asset’. “This is about building value and growing value, and it’s about reinvesting consistently into this club.” Armando Iannucci’s new film is a romp through some of the darkest days of the 20th century is farce really the best way to understand the dictator’s murderous regime – or its legacy in Russia today My first memory of the outside world was watching my parents as they heard an announcement on the radio that Joseph Stalin was dead The news was greeted not with relish but with awe and apprehension The Soviet dictator was a colossal figure in the mid-20th century His death on 5 March 1953 was a reference point not just for the Soviet people but for the wider world the death of Stalin has to have the drama squeezed out of it He died of natural causes at his dacha outside Moscow surrounded by his fearful and sycophantic court There still remains a certain ambivalence in the public memory of Stalin Almost everything is now known about the systematic and large-scale abuse of human rights that occurred under Stalin’s rule – a scale that challenges belief Yet Stalin is remembered as the man who modernised the Soviet Union and defeated the German attempt to conquer it if not quite arm-in-arm with Britain and the US He was lauded at the time in a western world that knew little about the horrors of the regime the conventional narrative of the second world war in the west still has Stalin on the side of the angels the death of Stalin was a disguised blessing Although millions mourned him with a genuine outpouring of grief his death abruptly interrupted a renewed wave of terror against any potential rivals and above all against the Soviet Jews who had survived the Holocaust threatened to recreate the years of the Great Terror of 1937-8 in which more than 600,000 people perished at the hands of the state The film touches on the last of these regime fantasies the plot was announced to the Soviet public Senior medical experts were arrested and tortured into making bizarre confessions as members of an alleged “Zionist terrorist gang” “I trust no one,” he is supposed to have said “not even myself.” One consequence of this final spasm of violence was the difficulty in finding a doctor who could treat the dictator in his dying hours The historical shadow of the dictator lay for years over the Soviet system and has not entirely disappeared the authorities have recreated the room where the central committee met At the head of the table is the chair used by Stalin but we shifted about uneasily and in the end no one did Easy to believe that the ghost of the long-dead dictator still haunts the room If he is now viewed widely as one of history’s monsters his was an extraordinary and riveting power A film that portrays the way that power worked would challenge any director but it is not a challenge that The Death of Stalin has met Powered by EterPride | © 2025 AhmedabadMirror Ahmedabad Mirror is an award-winning city newspaper from Shayona Times Pvt A hyper local daily that is global in its approach We use cookies and personal data to enhance your experience and fund the production of content on our site.

Cookie Policy Soldiers guarded and anti-riot elements surrounded the zone as 150 trucks and cranes cleared the Tajamar mangrove without saving the flora and fauna All this was confirmed by Aracely Dominguez president of the Mayab Ecologist Group (GEMA it hurts us to witness that instead of using the public force against criminals they are using it against citizens and against the environment It is truly embarrassing to see that the government is doing this to see that it does not have neither political nor social sensitivity,” complained Domínguez in an interview for Mongabay A Catholic Church basilica —the biggest in Latin America—, shopping malls, offices and more than 3,000 homes plan to be built in the area. This puts the survival of crocrodiles, snakes, herons and plants species under risk. One of this species is the white mangrove, which is listed as a threatened species under Mexican law NOM-059 the affected mangrove is not within the Nichupté Mangroves Protection Area According to an announcement by Quintana Roo State governor the National Trust Fund for Tourism Development (Fonatur) has had since 2005 the necessary licenses for tourist development in the area This means that the construction work were carried out according to an agreement but without having appropriately rescued the animals and plants Domínguez has accused Fonatur of committing a serious crime– giving false information to the environmental authorities failing to comply with the conditions laid down for the conservation of flora and fauna and working alongside developers in the destruction of a mangrove the General Directorate of Environmental Impact and Risk (Dgira) “authorized Fonatur to urbanize even though it provided false information claiming there was not a mangrove in the area —when actually 65% of the area was made up of mangroves,” stated Domínguez The license that was to allow the clearing of the mangroves clearing was going to expire on February 7 of this year two days after the mangrove clearing started several people entered and watched living animals such as crocodiles squirrels and iguanas as they fled the area trucks arrived “expecting to refill the mangrove and bury those animals alive,” but Domínguez and other activists stopped them The environmentalist confirms that she has documentary evidence proving the large scale destruction of the mangrove A contradictory message and an emblematic case who is in charge of the oceans campaign at Greenpeace Mexico condemned the destruction of the Tajamar mangrove in Cancun because “nothing was done in the right way or following the appropriate procedures.” the member of the international organization drew attention to a Mexican government contradiction are species protected by the NOM,” Rivas explains Mexico was at COP21 talking about the importance of climate change and how people are affected by catastrophic environmental events Mangroves are precisely one of the natural barriers that stop hurricanes.” Pictures showing the cleared area spread through social networks are the beginning of the breaking of the ecosystem —what takes place when a mangrove forest is so abruptly destroyed,” the Greenpeace activist complained because Mexico is going through a rampant deforestation process This isn’t only happening at the mangrove level but also at tropical rainforests and dry forests “If it [the clearing] was approved (as the governor said it means that the Secretariat of the Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) approved the environmental impact measures one of which is the relocation of the mangrove It means that the cleared mangrove has to be relocated to another nearby area So the question is: where is it going to be relocated How is the entire lost mangrove going to be compensated?” Rivas asked In a a news release Semarnat confirms that the actions carried out by Fonatur respected the environmental procedures and that “no wild animal species were registered during the clearings under the authorizations issued by the Semarnat.” The press release added that the presence of diverse species today “corresponds to the daily activities of the ecosystem of the zone.” According to the National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity CONABIO Mexico is one of the countries with the biggest extension of mangroves in the world a researcher with the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas as almost every coastal lagoon system in Quintana Roo is a transitional region between the ocean and the continent She described the area as bodies of water where the sea area and the land merge and come together with the fresh water aquifer that springs from underground who has carried out research projects in the Nichupté Mangroves Protection Area explains that not every wetland that is part of this lagoon system has the same protection category The wetlands or mangroves provide many environmental services to the ecosystem but for the biologist there is a specific one that is fundamental due to its ability to work as a bio filter They are important for human safety since they are a natural barrier against hurricanes or strong waves that may increase due to the climate change According to data collected in scientific studies, the loss of one hectare of mangrove is equal to the loss of 3.5 to 5 hectares of other forest systems regarding their ability to capture tons of carbon. The loss of a mangrove is a tragedy for the coastal areas. “When a mangrove is lost, when it dies because of tree felling, clearing, a change in land use or any other reason, all the ecosystem services that it provides are lost: climate control, the coastal line stabilization, the water cycle. Since there is connectivity with the other close ecosystems, little by little the general regional health is being fragmented,” explained Santos González. One of the legal determinants in Mexico for the clearing of a mangrove is flora and fauna relocation, a measure that must be carried out by specialists in order to mitigate environmental impacts. This should even be done publicly, so as to involve members of society in coastal wetland conservation. For the time being, construction work in the area is provisionally suspended. But the mangrove has already been destroyed. Cut down mangroves, dead frogs and toads, and the drained swamp with buildings in the background is the current landscape of the Malecón Tajamar project, a place that shows the impacts of the intense real estate pressure in Cancun. The “fortress conservation” model is under pressure in East Africa, as protected areas become battlegrounds over history, human rights, and global efforts to halt biodiversity loss. Mongabay’s Special Issue goes beyond the region’s world-renowned safaris to examine how rural communities and governments are reckoning with conservation’s colonial origins, and trying to forge a path forward […] The store located at Bhelupur spanning across an area of 4,600 sq ft was inaugurated by actor Akshara Singh.It houses an extensive collection of jewellery that include modern lightweight designs like Everlite collection to wedding collections like Shagun and Gathbandhan.

Iltalehden tietojen mukaan oikeusministeri Leena Meri oli hajottanut rasismityöryhmän sen jälkeen kun valtakunnansyyttäjä ei suostunut vaihtamaan työryhmän jäsentä Työryhmän tehtävänä oli valmistella rikoslain muuttamista vastaamaan EU:n rasisiminvastaisen puitepäätöksen vaatimuksia EU:n komissio on vuosia penännyt Suomea tekemään täsmennyksiä rasististen rikosten määrittelyyn lainsäädännössä Suomen olisi EU:n tulkinnan mukaan täsmennettävä esimerkiksi yksilönsuojaa rasistista vihapuhetta, solvaamista ja uhkailua vastaan. Lisäksi rasismirikosta ei pitäisi EU:n mukaan määritellä asianomistajarikokseksi eli syyttäjän olisi voitava aina nostaa syyte rasismirikoksesta. Iltalehden tietojen mukaan Leena Meri oli ennen työryhmän hajottamista pyrkinyt saamaan valtakunnansyyttäjän vaihtamaan työryhmän jäsenenä toimineen valtionsyyttäjä Anu Mantilan. Hän on sananvapausrikosten vastuusyyttäjä ja ajanut Päivi Räsäsen (kd) syytteitä oikeudessa. Korkein oikeus myönsi perjantaina syyttäjälle valitusluvan Räsäsen asiassa. Syytteissä on kyse Räsäsen homoseksuaaleja koskevista kirjoituksista. Aiemmin sekä käräjä- että hovioikeus hylkäsivät syytteet. Leena Meri sanoo viestipalvelu X:ssä, että ministerillä ja ministeriön poliittisella johdolla on toimivalta päättää ja ohjata työryhmien asettamisesta ja kokoonpanoista. Hän myös kertoo, että toimeksiannon on peruuttanut kansliapäällikkö Timonen. Suomi sai komissiolta virallisen huomautuksen esimerkiksi vuonna 2021, mutta silloin Suomi viestitti komissiolle, ettei korjattavaa lainsäädännössä ole. Täsmennysten tarpeellisuus on siis aiheuttanut kiistaa jo edellisen hallituksen aikana. Suomalainen jalkapallolupaus Jimi Tauriainen, 17, on solminut ammattilaissopimuksensa Englannin Valioliigan jätteihin kuuluvan Chelsea FC:n kanssa. Tauriainen kertoo asiasta Instagram-tilillään. Laitapelaajana tunnettu Tauriainen siirtyi heinäkuussa 2020 HJK:sta Chelsean akatemiaan solmittuaan kolmivuotisen sopimuksen.
