As the core pillar of the company, the nuclear medicine business achieved revenue of RMB 4.168 billion, accounting for 55% of the total revenue. Among them, the income of imaging diagnosis and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals increased by 4.1% year-on-year, and the distribution of medical centers all over the country achieved remarkable results. The income of Technetium-labeled medicines increased by 8.7% year-on-year. The breath test business continued to maintain a stable high market share, achieving revenue of RMB 2.35 billion, by a year-on-year increase of 1.1%.It is worth noting that in 2024, CIRC accelerated the localization of high-end radiotherapy equipment, and nuclear medical equipment and related services became the new engine of growth, with revenue reaching RMB 1.223 billion, a year-on-year increase of 31.0%. The new generation of Precision radiation therapy planning system was successfully approved for medical device registration certificate, and the world’s first spiral tomotherapy system, Tomo C, was delivered to Shandong Cancer Hospital for installation, which was successfully selected intothe 2024 high-end medical equipment promotion and application project of two ministries and commissions (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology/National Health Commission) and Tianjin First (Set) Major Technical Equipment Promotion and Application Guidance Catalog (Version 2024), with sales during the year leading in the domestic market.CIRC recorded RMB 716.1 million in revenue from radioactive source products, representing a year-on-year increase of 22.2%. Gamma knife source and non-destructive testing radioactive source continued to maintain a stable and high market share. CNNC Qinshan Isotope successfully obtained the Class A radiation safety license, and the cobalt-60 radioactive source production line delivered 2 million curies.40-year solid accumulation in nuclear technology laid a solid foundationAs the main body of the nuclear technology application industry of CNNC, CIRC has been accumulated in the industry for over 40 years, forming a “6+N” industrial layout with six major businesses as the core, including nuclides, nuclear medicines, nuclear medical equipment, integrated solution for nuclear medicine, radioactive source and application, and irradiation application. During the Reporting Period, CIRC achieved 224 patent authorizations, with a total of 969 valid patents, and continued to maintain the leading position of the R&D investment intensity in the industry.In the field of nuclear medicine research and development, CIRC has demonstrated a strong technical capability from research results turned into technologies. Sodium fluorine-18 injection obtained the drug registration certificate from the National Medical Products Administration and was approved for marketing, filling the market gap of PET diagnostic imaging agent in the field of bone imaging in China.

Rubio Unveils Plan for Major State Department Restructuring “`
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a significant restructuring of the State Department on Tuesday. The plan includes a 15% reduction in U.S.-based staff and the closure or consolidation of over 100 bureaus globally, aligning with the Trump administration's "America First" policy. Rubio's reorganization plan, shared on social media and detailed in documents obtained by The Associated Press, represents the latest White House initiative to reshape U.S. foreign policy and decrease the size of the federal government. "We cannot succeed in the 21st century with an inefficient bureaucracy that hinders innovation and wastes resources," Rubio stated in an email to department staff acquired by The AP. "Therefore, under President Trump's leadership and my direction, I am announcing a reorganization of the Department to address the significant challenges of the 21st Century and prioritize America." The plans involve reducing the number of bureaus and offices from 734 to 602, and relocating 137 offices within the Department to improve efficiency, according to an AP-obtained fact sheet. The method of implementing the reorganization, whether through an executive order or other means, remains unspecified. These plans follow a report by The AP a week earlier that the White House Office of Management and Budget proposed a nearly 50% cut to the State Department's budget, along with the elimination of funding for the United Nations and NATO headquarters. The proposed budget cuts were reportedly preliminary and unlikely to be approved by Congress. Prior to these changes, the Trump administration has been reducing jobs and funding in various agencies, including the Education Department and Health and Human Services. In terms of foreign policy, the administration has already dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development and taken steps to defund "soft power" institutions like media outlets that deliver unbiased news, often to countries with authoritarian regimes. These include Voice of America, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Radio Free Asia, and Radio/TV Marti, which broadcasts to Cuba.

Essential Information Before Watching Andor Season 2
Star Wars fans first met Cassian Andor almost a decade ago in the 2016 film, Rogue One. In that movie, Andor was portrayed as a resolute captain, a committed revolutionary willing to sacrifice his life for the cause. As the movie reveals, he ultimately dies alongside his comrades, ensuring the Rebel Alliance obtains the vital Death Star intel. This information enables the Rebels to triumph over the Galactic Empire during the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope. The prequel series, Andor, widely lauded as a standout within the Star Wars universe, introduces us to Cassian five years prior to the events of *Rogue One*. He is depicted as a largely self-serving smuggler, merely trying to survive under the oppressive rule of the Empire. The series starts with Cassian killing two Imperial officers while searching for his missing sister. This act triggers a series of events that gradually transform him from a cynical mercenary into a dedicated freedom fighter. Andor, created by Tony Gilroy of the Bourne franchise (who also co-wrote Rogue One) and nominated for an Emmy, is considered the mature and darker addition to the Star Wars saga. Moving away from the Skywalker saga's grand battles between good and evil, Andor centers on the human cost of rebellion and the grim realities of prolonged resistance against an authoritarian power. Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård), the ruthless rebel spymaster, powerfully states in Season 1: “I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see.” Here’s what you should remember about Andor before the first three episodes of Season 2 debut on Disney+ on April 22. Where Andor Season 1 left off Season 1 of Andor, consisting of 12 episodes, chronicles a year in the Star Wars galaxy. It portrays Cassian's journey from being reluctantly involved in the rebellion to save himself, to becoming a committed resistance member. His dedication is fueled by several pivotal experiences, including imprisonment in an brutal Imperial facility, hearing a final message from his adoptive mother Maarva (Fiona Shaw), and seeing the revolt of Ferrix's inhabitants against the Empire while rescuing his childhood friend Bix (Adria Arjona). Season 1 concludes with Cassian confronting Luthen, who had come to Ferrix to eliminate Cassian to prevent him from revealing rebel secrets. Cassian tells Luthen to either kill him or enlist him in the rebellion. This prompts Luthen to smile, suggesting that Cassian’s change of heart was the outcome he desired. A post-credits scene then reveals that the mysterious components Cassian and other prisoners were forced to manufacture at the Imperial prison are being used to construct the Death Star. The first season of Andor also examines the varying approaches of early rebellion leaders such as Luthen, Senator Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly), and Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker). Their differing views led to separate rebel factions that had not yet united. What to expect in Season 2 The second and final season of Andor will also consist of 12 episodes, this time covering four years. The series will conclude just as the events of Rogue One begin. Similar to the first season, Season 2 will be structured into three-episode arcs, released weekly on Tuesdays through May 13. Each block of episodes will advance the story by one in-universe year, focusing on three days in the lives of the main characters. Gilroy told Collider regarding the unique structure: “I did not want to have the opening scenes of every year later block be, ‘Since last I saw you,’ and ‘You cut your hair,’ and ‘Now you’re a doctor.’ I did not want to have all the sort of let’s get this out of the way, Chekhovian exposition. There’s a couple places where the actors really need to know what happened. There’s a couple places where we really need to know what happened, the people making up the story. But by and large, what we’re leaving in the middle, we know.” A significant event in Season 2 will be the Ghorman Massacre, previously mentioned in Star Wars books and comics as a crucial point in the rebellion's timeline. The massacre involves the Empire killing thousands of peaceful protestors on Ghorman, an event that motivates Mon Mothma to unite the divided rebel factions into the Rebel Alliance. Familiar characters from Rogue One, such as Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) and Cassian’s droid K-2SO (voiced by Alan Tudyk), will also appear. However, not all anticipated legacy characters will be present. Gilroy told the Hollywood Reporter: “There’s probably a couple people that we wanted to have in Yavin at the end, who are in the beginning of Rogue, but we just couldn’t get them because they were busy."

Telehealth Shown to Potentially Curb Carbon Footprint
The convenience of telehealth, popularized during the COVID-19 pandemic, may have an additional benefit: environmental friendliness, according to new research. A study published in the American Journal of Managed Care on April 22 indicates that telemedicine can help lower carbon emissions. The study found that increased telehealth usage correlated with fewer cars on U.S. roads, leading to a monthly reduction in carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to that of up to 130,000 gasoline-powered vehicles. Researchers analyzed almost 1.5 million telemedicine appointments across urban and rural locations from April 1 to June 30, 2023. They estimated that between 741,000 and 1.35 million of these appointments replaced in-person visits. Based on these figures, they calculated that telemedicine reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 23,500 to 52,500 tons each month during the study period—equal to the emissions of 61,000 to 130,000 gasoline vehicles. Dr. A. Mark Fendrick, co-senior author of the study and professor of medicine and director of the Center for Value-Based Insurance Design at the University of Michigan, stated that the healthcare sector is a major contributor to global carbon emissions. He noted that the U.S. health system accounts for nearly 9% of the nation's emissions, while transportation contributes about 29%. He added that their findings suggest that substituting lower-carbon options like telemedicine for services that produce more emissions can reduce the environmental impact of medical care delivery. The healthcare industry is actively addressing the need to decrease its carbon footprint. Globally, some clinics are rethinking which items can be , as well as the use of desflurane, an anesthetic; one bottle of desflurane emits the equivalent of driving a gasoline car for 2,200 miles. The researchers acknowledge some limitations. While the study participants had sociodemographic characteristics similar to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the findings may not be representative of the entire population or account for regional variations like seasonal trends or internet access. Additionally, the decline in telemedicine use since the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to an overestimation of future emissions reductions. Nevertheless, the researchers believe these findings could influence policy decisions, especially as Congress considers extending pandemic-era flexibilities and Medicare waivers for telehealth.

Pope Francis’ Enduring Impact as First Latin American Pontiff
` tags. `` Following his on Easter Monday, the focus shifts to his lasting impact. While some will note that the Argentine pope didn't halt the of Catholicism in Latin America, where about half the world's Catholics reside – a hope when he was chosen to lead the Vatican in 2013 – his significance as the first Latin American and Global South pope remains substantial. Notably, Francis introduced to the Church the principles of , a forward-thinking ideology blending Marxist critiques of capitalism with traditional Catholic values concerning the poor and disadvantaged. This originated at the . During this assembly, Latin American bishops decided to prioritize liberating people from inequality, poverty, and political oppression, even if it meant deprioritizing spreading the Gospel. This led some Latin American churches to openly challenge military regimes about their human rights violations, resulting in political persecution for numerous clergy, including , the Salvadoran priest killed by a right-wing death squad in 1980. Francis was an unlikely and flawed champion of Liberation Theology. During the 1970s and 1980s, when clergy linked to the movement faced excommunication threats and, worse, enforced disappearance by the military during Argentina’s “Dirty War,” Francis was . He preferred the more traditional “Theology of the People,” which emphasized the poor but without the Marxist criticism. However, by the time he arrived in Rome, Liberation Theology had become mainstream in Latin American Catholic thought. Francis himself had already welcomed many of the movement’s figures, including the , widely considered the founder of Liberation Theology. Despite Francis never publicly acknowledging his intellectual debt to Liberation Theology, the movement’s effect on his papacy is clear. In his , Evangelii Gaudium, or “The Joy of the Gospel,” he the interconnected problems of poverty and inequality. He also urged the wealthy to share with those less fortunate. Directly echoing Liberation Theology, Francis mentioned the “idolatry of money” and condemned “unfettered capitalism as a new tyranny.” Furthermore, he urged politicians “to guarantee all citizens dignified work, education, and healthcare.” Expectedly, these remarks angered conservatives, especially in the U.S., who viewed them as an attack on capitalism and a subtle rebuke of Washington. A second legacy closely tied to Latin America, which also contributed to Francis becoming a divisive figure on the right, is the environment. Francis the Vatican with the . In Laudato Si, or “Praise be to you, my Lord,” he argued for human-caused climate change, pointing out that human actions are significantly impacting the climate to the detriment of the world’s poorest. By identifying humans as a main cause of climate change, Francis drastically changed the Vatican’s environmental stance. Historically, the Catholic Church has generally been silent or in denial regarding climate change. Much of Francis’ environmental concern stemmed from his awareness of how deforestation, pollution, and extreme weather events disproportionately affect the poorest communities in Latin America. He aimed to highlight this through a focused on the Amazon, the “lungs of the world.” It gathered hundreds of bishops, Indigenous leaders, and environmental activists from nine South American nations. The third and final legacy, and perhaps the most unexpected, is the fight for LGBTQ rights. Francis’ papacy coincided with the Vatican significantly shifting away from its strong opposition to homosexuality, a stance heavily promoted by his predecessor, Benedict XVI, who once described homosexuality as “.” While Francis’ record on LGBTQ issues is , as a reported shows, he consistently sought to find common ground with the gay community throughout his papacy. In 2013, when questioned about homosexuals in the Catholic clergy, Francis : “If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?” A 2020 documentary about Francis’ papacy revealed that he was a . This was followed by announcements that priests would be allowed to and that , become official godparents, and serve as witnesses for Catholic weddings. It is important to remember that Francis came to Rome after the intense culture war over same-sex marriage in Argentina, the , in July 2010. Ironically, Francis’ opposition to gay marriage in Argentina initially gave hope to many that his papacy would reinforce the Vatican’s long-standing opposition to LGBTQ rights. As Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Francis called gay marriage “the Devil’s work” and mobilized Catholics against it, drawing criticism from President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who labeled Francis’ words as “reminiscent of the Dark Ages and the Inquisition.” The divisiveness of Argentina’s gay marriage campaign led Francis toward more conciliatory positions regarding the gay community. Above all, the campaign’s emphasis on the humanity and morality of gay and lesbian couples deeply affected Francis. After the gay marriage law passed, he reportedly met with gay rights activists to explain that while he opposed gay marriage, he supported their fight for dignity and respect. Pope Francis may not have saved Catholicism in Latin America, but he certainly shaped Catholicism to reflect Latin America. In doing so, he made the Church more progressive at a time when the far-right is growing globally. Whether this direction continues will depend on the . But one thing is certain: Francis will be difficult to replace.

Pope Francis’ Funeral Arrangements: Key Things to Know
The Vatican announced Monday that Pope Francis passed away at 88 following a stroke. While the funeral date remains unconfirmed, tradition dictates a series of rituals preceding the burial. Francis previously modified the funeral rites to be used upon his death, . Despite these changes, many rituals will still adhere to centuries-old practices. On Monday, Vatican officials sealed the pope’s apartment in the Apostolic Palace, marking the door handles with a red ribbon secured with wax, in accordance with Catholic tradition. Here’s what to know about the funeral rituals for Pope Francis. The Vatican on Monday stated that Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the camerlengo (who administers the Vatican between the death or resignation of a pope and the election of a successor), will oversee the formal confirmation of Francis' death and the placement of his body in the coffin later that evening. Doctors, cardinals, and members of Francis’ family will be present. reports that the camerlengo will remove and destroy the papal ring from the pope’s finger; a new ring will be created for the next pope. Francis’ body will lie in repose in his private chapel for the official declaration of death. Subsequently, Francis’ coffin will be moved to St. Peter’s Basilica for public viewing. The Director of the Holy See Press Office told journalists on Monday that Francis’ body to St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday morning, with the camerlengo leading the procession. In line with his reforms, Francis eliminated the requirement for the body to be displayed on an elevated bier; instead, the body will be placed in a simple coffin facing the congregation, . reports that the pope's burial typically occurs between the fourth and sixth day following death, with the dean of the College of Cardinals usually presiding over the funeral. Francis' revised rites allow for burial outside the Vatican. He had expressed a desire to be buried in the St. Mary Major Basilica, rather than St. Peter’s Basilica or its grottoes, the usual burial site for popes, . A nine-day period of official mourning, known as the "novendiali," will commence after the funeral.

Pope Francis’s Life Was a Lesson in Ethical Capitalism
The world mourned the loss of more than just a religious figure on Monday. It lost a moral guide, a global advocate for the impoverished, and a compassionate leader who fearlessly spoke truth to those in power about their obligations to the vulnerable. His Holiness didn't just deliver sermons; he lived among the people, especially those who were neglected, redefining moral leadership in our era. Although not Catholic, I've always admired Pope Francis, not only for his spiritual influence but also for his clear understanding of economics. He grasped a concept that many leaders still struggle with: the economy isn't merely a system; it mirrors our values. If our values are flawed—if we prioritize wealth over people—the system will inevitably fail. He advocated for capitalism, but not one that exploits, drains, and abandons. He championed an economy that benefits everyone, particularly the poor, marginalized, and excluded. I term this "Good Capitalism," and in his own way, so did he. Poverty extends beyond financial hardship; it encompasses limited access, opportunity, and belief. It stems from systems that were not initially designed for universal benefit but can be reimagined to achieve precisely that. Pope Francis conveyed the same message in different terms. His statement, "No one can remain insensitive to the inequalities that persist in the world," echoed the economic injustice that motivated me to establish Operation HOPE and launch . His declaration that "an economy that excludes kills" wasn't hyperbole but a stark reality. There's a reason Pope Francis chose the name of St. Francis of Assisi—the saint known as the patron of the poor. He led with humility, rejecting lavish papal accommodations, driving a simple vehicle, and washing the feet of prisoners. These actions weren't mere displays; they were theological expressions, embodying selfless service and a subtle condemnation of the arrogance and greed that often plague public life. Pope Francis stated, "The rich must help, respect, and promote the poor." His life and passing should challenge us to confront difficult questions: What kind of economy are we creating? Who is being left behind? And what would it entail to prioritize people over profits in our decision-making? For me, this isn't just abstract theory; it's practical reality. I've witnessed the transformative effects of financial education, improved credit scores, first-time homeownership, and support for small businesses in struggling areas. Dignity returns, hope is renewed, and the economy thrives, not only in monetary terms but also in resilience. This is what Pope Francis understood: that poverty is not simply a mathematical equation but a moral dilemma. Addressing it begins not in boardrooms or banks but within our hearts. He was a pope, and I am a businessman from Compton. Yet, we shared a fundamental belief: that we rise by lifting others and that capitalism, when practiced ethically, can be a powerful force for good. Pope Francis believed in "Good Capitalism," as do I. Now, more than ever, the world needs us to demonstrate that it is attainable. ```

NYC Marketing Expert Augustus Kirby Calls on Brands to Embrace Transparency Amid Trade War
Augustus Kirby, A Leading NYC Marketing Expert, Urges Luxury Brands to Embrace Radical Transparency Amid Global Trade WarNew York City, New York Apr 21, 2025 - As luxury brands face increasing challenges from global trade tensions and growing consumer doubt, marketing expert Augustus Kirby is urging the industry to act quickly and decisively: adopt radical transparency or risk permanently damaging their brands. According to the New York-based marketing strategist, recent viral posts from Chinese contract manufacturers have revealed the inner workings of the luxury industry. These disclosures show high-end products being mass-produced in shared factories, with brand differentiation often limited to just adding a logo. This is leading consumers to question the true value of what they're paying for. "Luxury branding used to be based on mystique and perceived value," says Kirby, a NYC marketing expert and consultant to global brands. "Now, consumers want accountability. They want to know exactly what they're buying, where it was made, and if the price is justified." Kirby, who has over a decade of marketing experience, including six years in C-level positions at multinational corporations, now advises clients on how to use artificial intelligence and data to improve brand performance. He believes this moment is a crucial turning point in luxury marketing. "This isn't just a temporary issue," Kirby explains. "It's a fundamental change. Brands that stick to outdated ideas of prestige without providing real substance will quickly lose their audience." The Case for Radical Transparency Kirby is advocating for radical transparency, where brands openly share detailed information about their sourcing, labor practices, manufacturing processes, and how they determine pricing. "Modern luxury needs to evolve from secrecy to storytelling," Kirby says. "People aren't looking for perfection, they're looking for honesty. By showing the craftsmanship and care that goes into each product, brands can increase perceived value without relying on the deception of traditional marketing." According to Kirby, technologies like blockchain and smart labeling provide luxury companies with a way to support their claims. These tools can create a digital record that verifies everything from the product's origin to ethical sourcing, building trust through verifiable data. "Transparency doesn't destroy luxury," he adds, "it redefines it." From Logo to Legacy Kirby emphasizes that moving away from logo-focused branding allows for richer storytelling. "There's real value in sharing the journey of a product, from design sketches in Paris to hand-stitching in Italy," Kirby says. "It's about creating an emotional connection and inviting the customer to be a part of the process." He suggests using immersive experiences, such as short films, artisan interviews, and augmented reality packaging, to help consumers connect with the human side of the brand. AI as a Strategic Ally In addition to transparency, Kirby sees artificial intelligence as playing a critical role in this brand transformation. He has implemented AI-driven tools for luxury clients that analyze consumer sentiment in real time, allowing for immediate responses to negative press or emerging trends. "In a world where a single viral video from a factory floor can disrupt a brand's image, you need tools that give you immediate insight," says Augustus Kirby, "AI enables brands to act proactively, not reactively." These tools also enable hyper-personalization, helping brands tailor their messaging to different markets while maintaining consistency and trust. "There's no excuse for insensitive campaigns anymore," Kirby explains. "The data is available; it's about using it intelligently." A Turning Point for Luxury With the U.S.-China trade war still unresolved and consumer behavior changing rapidly, Augustus Kirby, a NYC marketing consultant, believes 2025 is a critical turning point. "Luxury brands are at a crossroads," he says. "They can either embrace transparency, technology, and storytelling, or become irrelevant. The choice is that clear." Kirby's career reflects the evolution he's advocating for. Having worked with both established brands and modern DTC innovators, he brings a balanced perspective based on data, creativity, and cultural awareness. In addition to his professional work, he is also a dedicated kayaker and philanthropist, committed to supporting underprivileged children around the world. "In many ways, the luxury market reflects broader societal values," Kirby concludes. "And right now, those values are changing. Luxury based on ethics, craft, and clarity will always have a place, but only if it evolves." To learn more visit: Media ContactMarket News Source :New York Augustus Kirby
