  • 하천 내 반려동물 운동·휴식 편의시설 설치 하천법 일부개정법률안 대표발의
        더불어민주당 김회재 의원(전남 여수시을)은 13일 하천 내 반려동물 편의시설을 설치할 수 있도록 하는 내용의 '하천법 일부개정법률안'을 대표 발의했다. 현행법 상 하천구역에서 가축을 방목·사육하는 행위는 금지되어 있다. 그러나 반려동물 가구가 늘어남에 따라 반려동물과 함께 하천을 이용하는 사례가 많아, 이들을 위한 별도의 휴식 등 편의시설이 필요하다는 지적이다. 이에 김 의원은 개정안을 통해 하천구역 내 반려동물 운동·휴식시설을 설치할 수 있도록 규제 조항을 일부 완화했다. 또한 이용 급증에 따라 발생할 환경 오염을 예방하기 위해 오염 실태 주기적 검사, 오염 우려지역 조치 명령 등도 개정안에 포함했다. 국무조정실은 올해 2월 규제개혁신문고에 접수된 국민 건의 중 하천 내 소규모 반려동물 놀이터 등 설치를 대표 사례로 선정해, 2022년까지 법 개정을 추진하겠다 밝힌 바 있다. 김회재 의원은 “반려동물 천만 시대에 많은 시민이 반려동물과 함께 생활하고 있다. 시민과 함께하는 반려동물도 불편함이 없도록 규제를 완화할 필요가 있다”고 지적했다.

You should decide the direction you want to go and make the qualifications and experience to match the job you want. If you decide a job you want to do, I’d like to recommend that you get information about the company you want to work as much as you can. It would be helpful that find the company’s management direction, changes in the industry and company’s outlook. Many companies want you if If you can clearly show your potential and your goals to contribute within the company.

  • Downies Collectables Switches to Rimini Street Support for Its SAP Applications
    Downies Collectables Switches to Rimini Street Support for Its SAP Applications Downies Collectables Switches to Rimini Street Support for its SAP Applications Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of enterprise software products and services, the leading third-party support provider for Oracle and SAP software products and a Salesforce partner, today announced that Downies Collectables, one of the southern hemisphere’s largest online retail and auction sites for collectables and numismatic products, has shifted support for its SAP ECC system to Rimini Street Support. The company was not seeing a good ROI for the high support and maintenance costs they were paying the vendor, and needed a responsive support provider that would be available after standard business hours. By switching to Rimini Street Support, Downies Collectables immediately reduced its annual software support spend by 50% and has gained a premium-level, ultra-responsive 24/7/365 support model for its ERP system. Downies Collectables can also maintain its current system for a minimum of 15 years from the time that they switched to Rimini Street, with no required upgrades to remain in full support. Saving Costs While Unlocking Superior, Around-The-Clock Support Established in 1932 in Australia, Downies Collectables is a family business specializing in the auction and distribution of numismatics (coins, paper currency, and medals) and collectables, and one of the world’s largest distributors for the Royal Australian Mint and Perth Mint. Seven years ago, the company migrated its SAP system from Business One to ECC. During this time, the company lodged only a few support tickets, and mostly in the early days of the system’s operation. Downies Collectables realized it was paying expensive maintenance and support to the vendor for its robust ECC system, and they felt this was an unnecessary expense. “We saw maintenance and support from SAP as an important insurance policy, but we were spending far too much on an annual basis for that peace of mind,” said Chris Sealey, Operations Director, Downies Collectables. “Even though we rarely used the support, it was only available during standard business hours. For a website with global reach, coupled with the vendor’s high support costs, we weren’t getting an assurance that we’d receive assistance when we needed it.” “Rimini Street was brought to my attention by a network of people, and we discovered just how significant the savings would be if we made the switch. From there, the process to switch was smooth, and our discussions were always open with Rimini Street’s team - there were no agendas. And with Rimini Street, we now have access to a higher value, around-the-clock, personalized support for half the cost,” added Sealey. Achieve IT Cost Optimization Goals While Maintaining Business Continuity Rimini Street supports clients with uninterrupted service worldwide at all times, including during times of global disruption. Every Rimini Street client benefits from the company’s flexible, premium-level enterprise software support model, including its industry-leading Service Level Agreement (SLA) of less than 15-minute response times for all critical Priority 1 cases. Clients are also assigned a Primary Support Engineer (PSE), backed by a team of technical experts, who have an average of 15 years’ experience in the client’s particular enterprise software system. “Organizations such as Downies Collectables realize that the annual cost of maintenance and support provided by the vendor is far too expensive for the value received and are increasingly looking at more cost-effective, higher service level options, especially during this time of economic uncertainty,” said Emmanuelle Hose, regional general manager, Australia and New Zealand, Rimini Street. “In a global economy, online operations need to be always on, which means 24/7/365 support is paramount. Our premium support model and industry-leading SLAs ensure that our clients are covered regardless of geography or support issue to ensure business continuity.”

    Terns Pharmaceuticals Initiates the LIFT Study, a Phase 2a Clinical Trial of TERN-101 for the Treatment of NASH 턴스 파마슈티컬스, NASH 치료용 TERN-101의 전기 제2상 임상시험 개시 Terns Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a global biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing innovative therapies to treat liver disease and cancer, today announced that it has screened the first patient for the LIFT study, a Phase 2a clinical trial of TERN-101, a liver-selective farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist, the company's lead development candidate for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). “Initiating the LIFT study in NASH patients is an exciting milestone for Terns and an important next step in advancing TERN-101 as the backbone for future combination treatment for NASH,” said Erin Quirk, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Terns. "We are building upon the positive Phase 1 study results which demonstrated that TERN-101 potently suppresses 7α-C4, a liver FXR activation biomarker, and has a favorable safety profile. We look forward to assessing the safety and efficacy of TERN-101 monotherapy in NASH through the LIFT study and, subsequently, exploring combinations of TERN-101 with Terns’ THR-β agonist, TERN-501.” 간 질환 및 암 치료를 위한 혁신적인 치료법을 발견 및 개발하는 데 주력하는 글로벌 바이오 제약 회사인 턴스 파마슈티컬스(Terns Pharmaceuticals, Inc.)가 비알코올성 지방간염(NASH) 치료를 위한 회사의 주요 개발 후보물질인 파네소이드X수용체(Farnesoid X Receptor, 이하 FXR) 작용제 TERN-101의 전기 제2상 임상시험, 즉 LIFT 연구를 위한 환자를 선별했다고 18일 발표했다. 에린 쿼크(Erin Quirk, M.D.) 턴스 최고의학책임자는 “NASH 환자들을 대상으로 LIFT 시험을 시작하는 것은 턴스 역사에 중요한 이정표이며 TERN-101을 향후 NASH 병용 치료제의 핵심으로 발전시킬 수 있는 중요한 과정이다”며 ”TERN-101이 간 FXR 활성화 바이오마커인 7α-C4를 강력하게 억제하고 안전성 면에서도 긍정적인 결과를 입증한 1상 임상시험의 긍정적인 결과를 기반으로 한다. LIFT 연구를 통해 NASH 치료에서 TERN-101 단일요법의 안전성과 효능을 평가하고 이어서 TERN-101와 턴스의 THR-β 작용제인 TERN-501과의 조합도 탐색할 수 있기를 기대한다”고 말했다.
