La protezione a livello BIOS “secure-by-design” garantisce la sicurezza ininterrotta dell’hardware dal momento della produzione fino alla distribuzione e al termine del ciclo di vita. 

WIESBADEN, Germania, 21 maggio 2026/PRNewswire/ — Panasonic ha introdotto TOUGHBOOK Guard, una nuova funzionalità di sicurezza basata su firmware integrata direttamente nel BIOS, per offrire una protezione di livello enterprise durante tutto il ciclo di vita del dispositivo. 

Con l’aumento dei rischi di cybersecurity, ulteriori strati di sicurezza da parte dei fornitori di hardware sono diventati essenziali. TOUGHBOOK Guard utilizza un approccio “secure-by-design” integrando la protezione a livello hardware direttamente nel BIOS in fase di produzione, invece di affidarsi esclusivamente ai controlli software. In questo modo, i dispositivi sono protetti prima e durante l’implementazione. 

TOUGHBOOK Guard convalida continuamente la configurazione hardware del dispositivo rispetto a parametri di base approvati. Questo garantisce che solo i componenti autorizzati rimangano attivi anche prima che il sistema operativo venga caricato, consentendo in tal modo la rilevazione immediata di hardware dannoso o non autorizzato che i sistemi di sicurezza tradizionale non possono vedere. TOUGHBOOK Guard non richiede una connessione di rete, permettendo così di proteggere l’hardware in ambienti offline o isolati. 

Maggiore integrità e protezione del dispositivoTOUGHBOOK Guard supporta un approccio “secure-by-design” che consente alle organizzazioni di verificare se i componenti hardware rimangono invariati rispetto alla configurazione approvata in fabbrica e di rilevare sostituzioni o manomissioni non autorizzate dei componenti successivamente all’implementazione. 

Questo dà alle aziende  maggiore controllo dei dispositivi TOUGHBOOK sul campo e nell’hardware connesso in tutte le fasi: produzione, implementazione, utilizzo e fine vita. 

Progettato per ambienti mission-critical Per utenti governativi, della difesa, delle infrastrutture nazionali critiche e dei servizi di emergenza, l’integrità della catena di approvvigionamento è ormai un requisito strategico. TOUGHBOOK Guard è stato progettato per soddisfare le aspettative degli ambienti operativi più impegnativi, dove l’integrità del dispositivo e la resilienza operativa sono non negoziabili. Protegge da compromissioni a livello di sistema operativo e dal malware, invia avvisi in tempo reale agli utenti e può essere completamente personalizzato durante la fase di pianificazione. 

TOUGHBOOK Guard è progettato per rispettare le normative di sicurezza vigenti, nonché i mandati governativi relativi all’integrità hardware, alla gestione del rischio della supply chain e alle architetture zero-trust. 

Implementazioni di lunga durata pronte per il futuro TOUGHBOOK Guard sarà disponibile su progetto per tutti i nuovi dispositivi TOUGHBOOK lanciati nel resto del 2026. L’approccio su licenza una tantum (per dispositivo) fa sì che non ci siano costi di abbonamento ricorrenti. Questo lo rende particolarmente adatto a implementazioni a lungo termine in ambienti mission-critical, dove prevedibilità, controllo e costo totale di proprietà sono considerazioni chiave. 

“In qualsiasi settore, la sicurezza dei dati è fondamentale per il funzionamento efficace di un’organizzazione. TOUGHBOOK Guard stabilisce questa fiducia fin dal primo giorno e per tutto il ciclo di vita del dispositivo. Ciò inoltre fa passare le organizzazioni dalla conformità reattiva a una sicurezza proattiva, dando loro la certezza che i controlli di sicurezza rimangano efficaci, i rischi siano gestiti attivamente e l’hardware sia affidabile lungo l’intera supply chain,” commenta Chris Turner, Strategic Alliances & Services di Panasonic TOUGHBOOK.

“At Posten Bring, our vision is to make everyday life easier and the world smaller — and this promise must also apply digitally. With more than 12,500 employees serving millions of people across the Nordic region, accessibility cannot be an afterthought; it is built into the core of our design system. Siteimprove gives us better insight and consistency in our work on continuous improvement, and the results speak for themselves: our Digital Certainty Index has increased by 17 percent since 2019, and our accessibility score is now close to 91 out of 100. As AI changes how people find and use digital services, we know that inclusive digital experiences are not only the right thing to do — they are how we reach everyone we exist to serve.” — Omar Vidskjold Khan, Product Owner, Posten Bring A/S 

“At the University of Ottawa, we see digital accessibility as a continuous responsibility to remove barriers and ensure equitable access to information and services for all. It is fundamental to enabling full participation in our community and beyond. With Siteimprove’s agentic content intelligence platform, and as part of its AI beta program, we have transformed hours of analysis into actionable insights in minutes, helping us optimize our websites and ensuring that content is accessible, inclusive, and performs for SEO and AEO in today’s search landscape.” — Nathalie Blanchard, Digital Marketing Manager, University of Ottawa 

The 2026 submissions raised the bar for what digital accessibility leadership looks like in an agentic AI world, and every organization that entered demonstrated a profound commitment to transforming access to the digital world — making selecting winners no small task. Siteimprove is proud to also recognize the following eight customer runners-up: Georgia Technology Authority, Danske Bank, The PHOENIX Group eCommerce Europe, University of Texas Arlington, Mass General Brigham, City of Austin Texas, Maricopa Community Colleges, and eMoney. 

Congratulations to the Siteimprove.ai 2026 Global Digital Accessibility Award Winners and Runners-Up. 

“With over 1.3 billion people worldwide living with permanent disabilities, digital accessibility can no longer be treated as an afterthought — it must be a core requirement from product ideation through launch. AI is shifting search as every brand’s new home page, so it’s essential that AI answer engines and web content start with an accessible digital experience to build and maintain trust. The Siteimprove.ai client award winners have exemplified what it means to place accessibility as a core requirement and drive meaningful impact in inclusive digital experiences.” — Joe Devon and Jennison Asuncion, Co-founders, Global Accessibility Awareness Day

REDAZIONE

SEOUL, South Korea, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Seegene, a global molecular diagnostics company, announced the European launch of its new antimicrobial resistance (AMR) testing product, Allplex™ MDRO Assay, which is CE marked under the EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). The assay is designed to support the detection of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) associated with healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). 

The assay is designed to identify key multidrug-resistant pathogens and associated resistance genes in a single run, enabling rapid simultaneous detection across a broader range of MDRO targets. It also supports rapid first-line screening before the availability of culture-based results, helping enable timely infection prevention and control (IPC) responses in hospital settings. The launch reflects Seegene’s strategy to expand its AMR testing capabilities in response to evolving infectious disease trends. 

As antimicrobial resistance continues to rise globally, the burden of healthcare-associated infections is increasing, driving demand for faster and more comprehensive diagnostic approaches. Public health agencies, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have continued to emphasize the importance of strengthened infection surveillance and control capabilities in healthcare settings. 

The Allplex™ MDRO Assay complements Seegene’s existing Allplex™ Entero-DR Assay, enabling a combined testing approach that covers both antimicrobial-resistant enteric bacteria and additional high-risk MDRO targets. This combined approach can support broader infection-control efforts against antimicrobial-resistant organisms, while strengthening Seegene’s overall AMR testing portfolio. 

The assay enables simultaneous detection of multiple resistance genes and can support same-day reporting depending on laboratory workflow. This can provide timely information to support infection-control responses and complement conventional culture-based workflows. It may also help support more efficient laboratory workflows in appropriate clinical settings. 

“This launch represents more than just the addition of a new product. It marks an important step in expanding our diagnostic portfolio to support broader infection control efforts in hospital settings,” said Daniel Shin, Executive Vice President and Chief Global Sales and Marketing Officer at Seegene. “We will continue to develop diagnostic solutions that can be effectively implemented in real-world clinical environments.” 

Seegene plans to further strengthen its diagnostic capabilities for healthcare-associated infections and advance its strategy in line with growing demand for enhanced infection surveillance and control. Product availability may vary by country and is subject to local regulatory requirements. 

The company is also developing the Allplex™ MRSA Assay for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is targeted for launch next year as part of its broader AMR testing portfolio expansion strategy. 

About Seegene  

Seegene is a global molecular diagnostics company with more than 25 years of expertise in research, development and manufacturing of syndromic real-time PCR technologies. The company is widely recognized for its proprietary multiplex PCR technology, which enables the simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens in a single test.

Tivoli (RM), maggio 2026 – ASA Tivoli SpA, azienda municipalizzata di Tivoli che si occupa dei servizi ambientali, annuncia con orgoglio il completamento del percorso di certificazione per la parità di genere secondo la prassi UNI/PdR 125:2022. Il prestigioso traguardo è stato presentato ufficialmente alla stampa e alla cittadinanza giovedì 21 maggio 2026. 

L’ottenimento della certificazione non rappresenta solo un adempimento formale, ma la culminazione di un processo di trasformazione aziendale iniziato a febbraio 2026. Durante l’ultimo riesame periodico, l’azienda ha ampiamente superato la soglia minima necessaria per il rilascio del titolo. 

Per questa tematica ASA Tivoli SpA ha messo in campo azioni concrete supportate da un adeguato investimento, ed i dati salienti emersi dal monitoraggio interno evidenziano una realtà in forte evoluzione: 

● Equità salariale: il divario retributivo tra uomini e donne è stato mantenuto entro limiti rigorosi (tra il -5,38% e il +8,45%), garantendo il principio di “uguale salario per uguale lavoro”. 

● Bilancio di genere nelle assunzioni: nel 2025, la quota di nuove assunzioni femminili ha raggiunto il 50% del totale, segnando un netto incremento rispetto al 30,7% degli anni precedenti. 

● Cultura e Formazione: oltre il 90% della forza lavoro ha già completato programmi formativi specifici volti a contrastare i pregiudizi di genere e promuovere un linguaggio inclusivo. 

● Trasparenza: è stato attivato un sistema di segnalazione anonima per il contrasto a ogni forma di discriminazione o molestia, che ad oggi non ha registrato alcuna criticità. 

Il percorso è stato accolto con favore dalla popolazione aziendale. Una survey interna ha rivelato che il personale dipendente attribuisce un valore di 8,87 su 10 all’importanza di ottenere questa certificazione, riconoscendo l’impegno del management nella tutela della dignità lavorativa e dell’equità retributiva. 

La conferenza a Villa d’Este sarà l’occasione per illustrare anche le linee guida relative alla politica sulla parità di genere. Tra le priorità annunciate: il potenziamento della leadership femminile nei ruoli apicali e l’incentivazione della genitorialità condivisa, con l’obiettivo di aumentare ulteriormente la fruizione dei congedi parentali da parte del personale maschile. 

Con questa certificazione, ASA Tivoli SpA si conferma un modello di innovazione sociale nel settore delle multiutility, dimostrando che la sostenibilità ambientale cammina di pari passo con la giustizia sociale e la valorizzazione del talento, senza distinzione di genere. 

Durante l’evento sono intervenuti: 

FRANCESCO GIRARDI – Amministratore Unico ASA Tivoli SpA
 

“Per ASA Tivoli SpA questo traguardo rappresenta molto più di una certificazione. Come azienda pubblica sentiamo il dovere di restare sempre al passo non soltanto sui temi ambientali e dell’ecologia, ambiti nei quali Tivoli si è già distinta anche rispetto a realtà molto più grandi a livello nazionale, ma anche sul fronte dell’equità sociale.” 

EMILIO ENGST – Direttore Generale ASA Tivoli SpA
 

“Vogliamo dare un segnale concreto di cambiamento e, in qualche modo, essere pionieri nel settore dell’igiene urbana. Oggi possiamo dire di esserlo anche grazie a un dato importante: ci stiamo avvicinando al 20% di occupazione femminile sul totale del personale, un risultato significativo per un comparto storicamente a prevalenza maschile.” 

“La Certificazione per la Parità di Genere ci è stata riconosciuta sulla base di dati, indicatori e risultati concreti. È un attestato importante, che ci rende orgogliosi ma che, soprattutto, ci impegna a continuare su questa strada, mantenendo e migliorando ulteriormente gli obiettivi raggiunti nei prossimi anni.” 

L’evento è stato moderato dalla giornalista Barbara Molinario. Tra i relatori anche: Vittorio Maria De Bonis, storico dell’arte e docente universitario; Alessandro Monti, consulente ASA Tivoli SpA per i processi aziendali; Edy Palazzi, vicepresidente della Commissione regionale Cultura, spettacolo, sport e turismo; Manuela Chioccia, consigliera della Città Metropolitana con delega alla Viabilità, Mobilità e Infrastrutture; Erika Osimani, assessora alle Politiche sociali, Pari Opportunità e Istruzione; Francesca Chimenti, presidente della Commissione Pari Opportunità; Eleonora Giusti, comandante della Polizia Locale di Tivoli; Maria Nicolai, commercialista e componente del Collegio dei Revisori. Hanno inviato i saluti istituzionali Marco Innocenzi, sindaco di Tivoli; Simona Renata Baldassarre, assessora della Regione Lazio alla Cultura, Pari Opportunità, Politiche giovanili e della Famiglia, Servizio civile; Laura Cartaginese, presidente del Comitato per il monitoraggio dell’attuazione delle leggi e la valutazione degli effetti delle politiche regionali della Regione Lazio.

SEATTLE, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Alaska Airlines today launched daily nonstop service between Seattle and London Heathrow, reinforcing its position as the fourth largest global airline in the U.S. and strengthening its international network. The year-round service marks Alaska’s second European destination introduced this year and begins just ahead of the busy summer travel season. Last month, the airline launched its first-ever transatlantic route to Rome, and on May 28, it will begin nonstop service to Reykjavík, Iceland. 

“As we connect the West Coast to Europe in new ways, our focus is on delivering a meaningful experience that feels distinctly Alaska – warm, thoughtful and elevated at every touchpoint,” said Andrew Harrison, chief commercial officer at Alaska Airlines. “For our guests in the U.S., we’re opening more convenient access to Europe with the airline they know and love, and for our guests in Europe and beyond, we’re bringing our signature West Coast hospitality to every step of the journey, reflecting the comfort and care we’re known for.” 

Alaska’s daily service will operate out of London Heathrow’s Terminal 3, offering U.S.-based guests a seamless way to reach one of the world’s most iconic cities or enjoy convenient connections to additional destinations across Europe and beyond on oneworld member and partner airlines. The new route also opens the door for UK travelers to explore the Pacific Northwest and connect beyond Seattle through Alaska Airlines’ extensive West Coast network, including the Hawaiian Islands. 

When traveling internationally, Alaska Lounge+ members enjoy access to select partner lounges worldwide, including the Admirals Club at London Heathrow, while guests in Alaska’s international business class Suites and oneworld Sapphire and Emerald members can access partner lounges regardless of cabin. 

“Every new route launched from Heathrow gives passengers and businesses more choice and stronger connections to the world,” said Ross Baker, chief customer officer of London Heathrow Airport. “Alaska Airlines’ new service to Seattle further strengthens our transatlantic network, opening up opportunities for travel and trade between the UK and the U.S. West Coast. Working closely with airline partners like Alaska is how we deliver the connectivity passengers and businesses want – and keep the UK competitive globally.” 

Connecting these two cities with vibrant business communities will go beyond tech and finance workers. The cargo capacity enabled by this route will provide businesses in North America and the UK increased opportunities to move their goods across Alaska’s extensive network. Whether it’s seafood from Alaska and Hawaii or Northwest hops, the 787’s capacity and Alaska Air Cargo’s reputation for customer service will help strengthen the connection across the pond. 

On May 28, Alaska will launch nonstop, seasonal service to Reykjavík as its third European destination in its expanding global network. The daily route is timed to coincide with Iceland’s peak summer season and will connect guests to one of the best viewing spots in the world for the August 2026 total solar eclipse. 

From Iceland, guests can easily connect to Alaska’s many partner airlines to continue exploring Europe, including Icelandair, which offers more than 35 daily departures from the country’s capital. And thanks to Alaska’s partnership with Icelandair, guests traveling in First Class or as Atmos™ Rewards Gold, Platinum or Titanium elites will also have access to Icelandair’s Saga Lounge at Keflavík International Airport. 

Coming soon: Alaska’s largest, landmark lounge investment 

As Alaska grows its international footprint, the airline is also introducing a new, world-class lounge at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, a key part of its broader investment in the global guest experience. 

When it opens in late 2027, the new global Alaska Lounge will become the largest airline lounge in Seattle and one of the largest in the country. Spanning more than 41,000 square feet with approximately 700 seats across two levels, the sophisticated design will feature showers, multiple premium bars, à la carte dining and chef-curated seasonal menus, unlike anything else in the Alaska Lounge network. 

The main level will welcome Alaska Lounge members, day-pass guests and eligible First Class guests. The upper level will be dedicated to international long-haul travelers, serving Suites and lie-flat guests as well as eligible Atmos Titanium members traveling internationally. Both floors will feature freshly prepared locally inspired food, Pacific Northwest beers and craft cocktails, and hand-crafted espresso beverages. 

Located in Seattle’s newly refreshed C Concourse, the Alaska Lounge will offer expansive views of the Olympic Mountains and the airfield below. The project is part of Alaska’s multimillion-dollar investment in its lounge network, which includes a new location in Portland opening this summer, along with the carrier’s first lounge in San Diego and a new, expanded lounge in Honolulu, both slated for early 2028. 

A more connected global journey 

The lounge in Seattle builds on Alaska’s previously announced international business class Suites experience on the airline’s growing fleet of 787-9 Dreamliners. The Suites experience represents the beginning of Alaska’s next era in long-haul travel, a thoughtfully designed journey from curb to cabin, with additional enhancements to be unveiled soon. 

Now flying to Incheon, London and Rome, the Suites experience will also debut on Seattle–Tokyo service this fall with the return of the 787 to the market. Featuring 34 international business class seats, guests traveling in the Suites enjoy a refined journey, including plush Filson-designed bedding and travel amenity kits with Salt & Stone products, multi-course dining, a customizable Salt & Straw dessert service and a regionally inspired meal before landing. 

Alaska’s new exclusive check-in lobby for Suites and Atmos Titanium guests is now open in Seattle, allowing for a seamless start to their journey. The Seattle Suites lobby is an exclusive experience with a dedicated entrance to TSA and is extended to immediate family or up to two guests on the same reservation. Dedicated Suites and Titanium member check-in lanes are also rolling out across Alaska’s key hubs soon, including Anchorage, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and internationally in Rome, Tokyo and Seoul, with London starting today and Reykjavík to follow. 

Guests traveling to and from Reykjavík, operated on a Boeing 737-8 MAX, will enjoy an elevated onboard experience. First Class guests receive plush Filson-designed blankets, along with pillows and a Filson travel amenity kit filled with Salt & Stone products. Guests in the Main Cabin are treated to a complimentary meal service, including a hot main, small salad and dessert, with vegetarian options available. Premium Class guests can also choose from Alaska’s new Premium Snack Basket to complement their meal. The experience comes with a curated lineup of West Coast beverages, both non-alcoholic and alcoholic, such as the Cloud Cruiser IPA from Fremont Brewing of Seattle or Canoe Ridge Chardonnay from Walla Walla, WA. 

Alaska is currently installing its entire 737-8 MAX fleet with ultra-fast Wi-Fi so guests can stay connected on their way to Reykjavík, complimentary thanks to T-Mobile and powered by Starlink. Alaska recently became the first airline in the world to equip its entire regional fleet with Starlink; and together with Hawaiian Airlines, will become the first U.S. carrier to offer Starlink on 100% of its wide-body fleet this fall when installation of Starlink is complete on its Dreamliner fleet. 

Atmos Rewards members enjoy gate‑to‑gate connectivity, enabling streaming, browsing and messaging throughout the journey. Membership is free and allows guests to earn miles for future travel on Alaska and its oneworld partner airlines. 

With new service to Rome, London and Reykjavík, Alaska is bringing together expanded international service and a powerful combined network with Hawaiian Airlines. Together, these investments mark a new chapter in Alaska’s global growth, designed to connect guests to more of the world with comfort and care – the Alaska way.

FIRENZE – Con l’arrivo della stagione più calda, entra nel vivo il Piano di controllo e prevenzione delle zanzare, promosso nei comuni della Toscana centrale serviti da Plures Alia. Le attività interesseranno numerosi territori dell’area metropolitana fiorentina, pratese e pistoiese e saranno rivolte principalmente al contenimento della zanzara tigre e della zanzara comune attraverso interventi programmati di prevenzione antilarvale.

Il piano operativo coinvolge complessivamente 39 comuni tra le province di Firenze, Prato e Pistoia, con circa 200 mila caditoie stradali sottoposte a controllo e trattamento periodico. Gli interventi riguarderanno anche i corsi d’acqua a lento deflusso, considerati tra i principali focolai di sviluppo larvale.

Le operazioni saranno eseguite con modalità consolidate e già sperimentate negli anni precedenti: all’interno dei ristagni d’acqua non eliminabili verrà applicato uno specifico prodotto larvicida, con trattamenti ripetuti ogni 3-4 settimane per tutto il periodo stagionale, indicativamente da maggio fino a settembre-ottobre.

Le attività stanno prendendo avvio secondo calendari differenziati nei vari territori. I primi interventi sono stati effettuati nelle aree di Prato Centro e Signa all’inizio del mese, seguiti nei giorni successivi da Campi Bisenzio, Firenze, Valdisieve, Valdarno fiorentino, Montemurlo e dagli altri comuni interessati. Per Cantagallo l’avvio operativo è previsto nel mese di giugno.

Accanto agli interventi nelle aree pubbliche, Plures Alia richiama l’attenzione sull’importanza della collaborazione dei cittadini nella prevenzione dei focolai larvali in ambito privato. Una parte significativa della proliferazione delle zanzare avviene infatti in piccoli ristagni domestici, spesso facilmente eliminabili con semplici accorgimenti quotidiani.

Tra le principali misure raccomandate: evitare l’abbandono di contenitori all’aperto che possano accumulare acqua, eliminare i ristagni da sottovasi e recipienti, mantenere correttamente la vegetazione, coprire le raccolte d’acqua e trattare con prodotti larvicidi i ristagni non rimovibili, seguendo attentamente le indicazioni riportate in etichetta.

Il piano prevede inoltre attività di campionamento e monitoraggio nelle caditoie e nei corsi d’acqua, finalizzate a verificare l’andamento delle infestazioni e l’efficacia degli interventi programmati.

Per quanto riguarda eventuali interventi adulticidi, Plures Alia precisa che tali trattamenti rappresentano esclusivamente misure straordinarie di emergenza. La loro eventuale attivazione è subordinata alla presenza documentata di elevate densità di zanzare adulte e all’autorizzazione preventiva del Dipartimento di Prevenzione della Azienda USL competente, secondo quanto previsto dalla Delibera della Giunta Regionale Toscana n. 582 del 23 maggio 2022.

L’obiettivo del piano è garantire un’azione continuativa di prevenzione, contenendo la diffusione dei culicidi attraverso strategie integrate e sostenibili, orientate prioritariamente alla lotta larvale, ritenuta il metodo più efficace e a minore impatto ambientale.

L’introduzione sul mercato dell’ultimo dispositivo di realme, il C100 5G, evidenzia come l’ingegnerizzazione dei telefoni cellulari si stia focalizzando sulla durabilità dei componenti chimici e sulla resistenza meccanica agli impatti. La necessità di garantire l’operatività in scenari d’uso intensivo ha spinto l’adozione di accumulatori ad alta densità energetica e di telai rinforzati, in grado di rispondere sia alle richieste di indipendenza energetica degli utenti sia ai requisiti di protezione contro le infiltrazioni di agenti solidi e liquidi nelle attività quotidiane o professionali. 

Sotto il profilo dell’autonomia strutturale, l’integrazione nel realme C100 5G di una cella da 6600 mAh permette di mantenere una carica residua superiore alla metà del potenziale anche dopo sessioni prolungate di navigazione satellitare e riproduzione multimediale. La longevità del modulo è supportata da un sistema di ripristino chimico interno, denominato Bionic Repair, progettato per stabilizzare i flussi di degradazione anodica e catodica per un arco temporale stimato in circa sei anni.  

Per mitigare l’incremento termico durante le fasi di alimentazione sotto carico, l’architettura del realme C100 5G sfrutta un sistema di transito energetico diretto alla scheda madre, coadiuvato da una piastra di raffreddamento a camera di vapore con una superficie di oltre 5300 mm². Questo impianto di dissipazione riduce le temperature operative della CPU di circa 2 °C, preservando la reattività del software e garantendo la compatibilità con i protocolli di ricarica rapida da 45W e di inversione energetica per gli accessori periferici. 

La resistenza d’insieme del realme C100 5G si basa sulla conformazione dello scheletro interno in lega di alluminio, progettato per assorbire carichi di compressione statici fino a 25 kg e per incrementare la rigidità torsionale rispetto ai modelli polimerici convenzionali. I protocolli di validazione strutturale includono il superamento dei test previsti dalla certificazione MIL-STD 810H, eseguiti attraverso migliaia di micro-cadute da molteplici angolazioni, a cui si associa il grado di protezione IP64 per la tenuta stagna contro polveri e spruzzi d’acqua.  

Il comparto visivo si affida a un pannello LCD con frequenza di aggiornamento a 144Hz e luminosità massima di 900 nit, governato da un sistema di attenuazione della corrente continua volto a eliminare i fenomeni di sfarfallio della retroilluminazione nelle ore notturne. Il nuovo realme C100 5G è disponibile da oggi nelle due colorazioni Blooming Purple e Sprouting Green

HANGZHOU, China, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hikvision has announced the launch of Guanlan Encoding, an AI-powered video compression technology that delivers 30%–50% average storage savings without compromising critical footage quality. 

As resolutions climb, channel counts expand, and retention periods extend, storage has become one of the dominant cost drivers in video security. Guanlan Encoding is built on the H.265 international standard and is powered by Hikvision’s Guanlan Large-Scale AI Model. It extends Guanlan from video analytics into the encoding pipeline. 

In security deployments, especially those of substantial scale, Guanlan Encoding can halve HDD requirements and rack space while significantly reducing long-term power consumption – lowering total cost of ownership across the project lifecycle. 

Keep the focus, cut the storage 

Conventional codecs treat every pixel equally, forcing operators to choose between higher-definition imagery and more efficient storage. Guanlan Encoding eliminates that dilemma. It identifies key objects in a scene – such as people and vehicles – and preserves them at full clarity through precision Region of Interest (ROI) segmentation, while ultra-compressing redundant background data. 

“Storage efficiency has almost always come at the cost of quality – until now,” said Jason Yang, Vice President of Hikvision International Business Center. “Guanlan Encoding looks at the picture first – then decides what’s worth keeping in full clarity.” 

The technology combines two complementary modes. Dynamic Sensing adapts bitrate allocation in real time to preserve detail in complex, fast-moving scenes. Static Optimization applies ultra-high compression to still or low-motion footage, reducing some frames to just a few dozen bytes. Together, they shift video encoding from a one-size-fits-all solution toward an intelligent, encode-on-demand approach. 

Tested across various scenes 

Internal comparative tests between conventional H.265 and Guanlan Encoding confirm consistent bitrate savings: 

Standards-compliant, zero migration 

Because Guanlan Encoding is built on H.265, it works seamlessly with existing H.265 decoders, Hikvision and third-party devices, and supports advanced AI analytics. Encoding format, frame rate, and resolution remain unchanged – making adoption straightforward for both new and existing projects. 

Available across Hikvision’s product lines 

Guanlan Encoding is supported on Hikvision DeepinView(X)-Series Network and PTZ Cameras, Ultra-Series Cameras, Cameras with ColorVu 3.0, and DVRs, with continued expansion to more product lines. The technology is suited to a broad range of environments, from enterprise campuses and retail chains to public venues and critical facilities. 

By embedding AI directly into the codec, Guanlan Encoding marks a step toward a future where every byte of video is captured, compressed, and stored with intent. This is the shift from compression by pixel to compression by meaning. To learn more, visit the Guanlan Encoding webpage, or contact your regional Hikvision representative to schedule a live demo.

Nelle strutture di fascia alta, la qualità non si percepisce soltanto nell’architettura degli ambienti o nel livello del servizio, ma anche in dettagli che l’ospite vive in modo quasi inconsapevole e che contribuiscono a costruire una sensazione immediata di comfort, ordine e benessere. La consistenza di un accappatoio, il punto di bianco di un lenzuolo, la morbidezza di un asciugamano, la qualità di uno scendiletto o l’eleganza di un tovagliato non rappresentano più semplici dotazioni operative, ma elementi che partecipano in modo diretto alla costruzione dell’esperienza complessiva nella hospitality luxury. 

È proprio all’interno di questa evoluzione che Lavanderia Stella ha sviluppato una visione avanzata del servizio tessile per hotel 5 stelle, masserie pugliesi, SPA e strutture premium, superando il concetto tradizionale di lavanderia industriale legata esclusivamente alla gestione dei volumi e costruendo invece un modello orientato alla personalizzazione, alla qualità del prodotto e alla coerenza con l’identità delle strutture ricettive di fascia alta. 

Dalla standardizzazione ai prodotti su misura
 

Negli ultimi anni molte strutture ricettive luxury, soprattutto in territori come la Puglia dove la crescita delle masserie e dei boutique hotel ha trasformato il concetto stesso di ospitalità, hanno iniziato ad abbandonare logiche standardizzate per orientarsi verso prodotti tessili personalizzati e soluzioni premium capaci di adattarsi alle caratteristiche specifiche della struttura, sia dal punto di vista estetico che funzionale. 

Lavanderia Stella ha scelto di investire proprio in questa direzione sviluppando un’offerta costruita attorno alle esigenze della hospitality di alta gamma, con prodotti che spaziano da lenzuola e federe su misura per letti king size e materassi di altezza importante fino a teli SPA di grandi dimensioni, accappatoi premium, spugne in cotone egiziano, asciugamani ad alta grammatura, runner, tovagliette, tovaglioli, scendiletto importanti e tovagliati realizzati anche in fibra naturale o misto lino. 

Accanto alla qualità dei materiali cresce inoltre la richiesta di personalizzazione estetica, attraverso ricami bourdon sulle lenzuola e sui volani delle federe, colori coordinati all’identità della struttura — dal bianco al blu reale fino alle tonalità gold — oltre a cuscini decorativi personalizzati con logo o nome della struttura e tovagliati con stampe premium studiati per ambienti di rappresentanza e ristorazione di fascia alta. 

“Oggi molte strutture cercano prodotti che riescano a rappresentarle davvero e che siano coerenti con l’esperienza che vogliono offrire ai propri ospiti” spiega Dino Stella, fondatore e presidente di Lavanderia Stella. “Per questo motivo la richiesta di personalizzazione è cresciuta moltissimo, non solo nelle dimensioni o nei materiali, ma anche nei dettagli estetici, nelle rifiniture e nella qualità percepita del tessile”. 

Questa evoluzione ha reso la biancheria sempre più vicina a un elemento di design e di posizionamento, soprattutto in contesti dove l’esperienza dell’ospite viene costruita anche attraverso dettagli apparentemente invisibili, come la qualità della spugna, l’ordine percepito nella camera, la consistenza del tessile o l’eleganza del tovagliato utilizzato nella ristorazione premium e nel catering di fascia alta. 

Il valore sta nella gestione del prodotto nel tempo
 

Selezionare prodotti premium, però, rappresenta solo una parte del lavoro, perché la vera difficoltà sta nella capacità di mantenerne nel tempo qualità, comfort e resa estetica, evitando che lavaggi e processi non adeguati compromettano tessuti, colori, consistenze o rifiniture. 

“Molti pensano che il valore stia soltanto nella scelta iniziale del prodotto, ma in realtà il risultato finale dipende soprattutto da come quel tessile viene gestito lungo tutta la filiera” sottolinea Stella. “Cernita, temperatura, quantità d’acqua, asciugatura, stiratura, piegatura e confezionamento devono essere calibrati in modo diverso in base alle caratteristiche di ogni articolo, altrimenti anche un prodotto di fascia alta rischia di perdere rapidamente le qualità che lo rendono speciale”. 

È proprio per questo che Lavanderia Stella sviluppa programmi personalizzati per i diversi articoli, costruendo trattamenti specifici in funzione dei materiali, della struttura della fibra e delle esigenze operative della singola struttura, personalizzando temperatura, quantità d’acqua, prodotti utilizzati, asciugatura, stiratura e piegatura con l’obiettivo di preservare nel tempo morbidezza, resa estetica, comfort e durata del tessile. 

Made in Italy, tecnologia e sensibilità artigianale
 

Alla base di questo approccio c’è anche una forte attenzione verso la qualità del tessile italiano. Lavanderia Stella collabora infatti con alcune delle principali realtà italiane del settore, contribuendo allo sviluppo di soluzioni premium pensate specificamente per il mondo dell’hospitality luxury, nella convinzione che il valore non nasca soltanto dalla materia prima, ma soprattutto dalla competenza nella trasformazione, lavorazione e gestione del tessile nel tempo. 

Per gestire questa complessità non basta però una struttura industriale tradizionale, ma servono sistemi evoluti di controllo e monitoraggio che permettano di seguire ogni capo lungo tutto il ciclo produttivo, dalla cernita iniziale fino alla riconsegna. 

In Lavanderia Stella questo avviene attraverso l’utilizzo di microchip applicati ai capi, che consentono di identificarli singolarmente e di gestirli in modo personalizzato durante tutte le fasi di lavorazione, rendendo possibile l’applicazione di trattamenti differenti in base al tessuto, alle caratteristiche tecniche del prodotto e alle richieste specifiche della struttura. 

L’esperienza diretta maturata quotidianamente sulla linea di lavorazione permette inoltre all’azienda di osservare il comportamento dei tessili nel tempo, analizzandone resa, durata e criticità, trasformando così la lavanderia anche in una sorta di osservatorio tecnico capace di fornire indicazioni utili allo sviluppo di prodotti sempre più performanti, sostenibili e adatti al mondo della hospitality premium. 

“La vera evoluzione della lavanderia industriale non sta solo nell’automazione” conclude Stella, “ma nella capacità di capire quando un prodotto può essere trattato in modo standardizzato e quando invece richiede attenzione, sensibilità e una gestione più vicina a una logica artigianale”.

FOSHAN, China, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HSG Laser, a global manufacturer of intelligent metal fabrication equipment, officially launched the GT Series high-speed laser cutting machine, introducing what it calls a new generation of high-speed cutting technology for sheet metal fabrication. 

As manufacturers face rising labor costs, tighter delivery schedules, and increasing pressure on productivity, traditional laser cutting systems are reaching the limits of conventional speed upgrades. According to HSG, true high-speed cutting is no longer defined simply by higher power or faster travel speed. 

FAST: The Core behind High-Speed 

“The future of high-speed cutting is not just about moving faster,” said an HSG product manager. “It is about maintaining precision, stability, and long-term reliability at high speed. That is what GT was designed for.” 

The GT Series achieves linkage speeds up to 200 m/min through a fully coordinated motion system combining 2G acceleration and 8Hz low-pass filtering. Similar to the acceleration behavior of a high-performance sports car, the system allows the machine to enter stable high-speed cutting states almost instantly while reducing vibration during rapid directional changes. 

ACCURATE: STRUCTURAL PRECISION BUILT FOR HIGH SPEED 

To maintain precision under continuous high-speed operation, the GT Series adopts a fully annealed high-rigidity machine bed structure and a high-brightness small-core laser source, concentrating laser energy into a smaller focus area for faster and more accurate cutting.

Panel to discuss the use of AI in risk analysis, debt recovery, financial inclusion and data governance 

VIENNA, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The National Association of Credit Bureaus (ANBC) will participate in the Annual Conference of the Association of Consumer Credit Information Suppliers (ACCIS) on 21st and 22nd May in Vienna, Austria, with a presentation on applications of Artificial Intelligence in the credit information sector. The organization’s chief executive, Elias Sfeir, will be part of the panel “Smart Use of Artificial Intelligence in Credit Information”, focused on discussing experiences with case studies of the technology’s implementation in the sector. 

In addition to Elias, participants include Júlia Kössner, head of the KSV1870 Group’s Innovation Lab; Mürsel Tasgin, head of AI at KKB; and Natalia Shchelovanova, global leader of Open Innovation and Ecosystem at CRIF. 

During the panel, ANBC will present experiences from Brazil and other Latin American countries in risk analysis, credit granting, debt recovery and financial education. Among the cases presented is the use of an automated system designed for micro and small enterprises. The tool provides support for credit analysis, approval, limit setting and financial guidance for a total of 22.5 million Brazilian businesses. 

The organization will also share findings relating to the automation of predictive models. The use of AI has reduced development time from four weeks to two to five days, whilst cutting modelling costs by 66%. Another example involves AI applications in debt recovery strategies. Machine learning tools have contributed to an increase of up to 10% in the average recovery rates recorded by financial institutions. 

In the area of financial education, the presentation includes a natural language app for accessing financial content and guidance. According to data used by the organization, 38% of Brazilians already use AI daily for queries related to their financial lives. Among the main uses are financial planning, account management and household budgeting. 

“The evolution of AI applied to credit involves operational gains, cost reduction, improved customer experience and expanded access to financial services. This process also requires governance structures, team development and an organizational culture aligned with the operation, always taking the human factor into account. The intelligence is artificial and the consciousness is human,” says Elias Sfeir.

Il co-founder ed ex managing partner di Nohup, entrata nel 2021 nel Gruppo Havas, guiderà lo sviluppo dell’infrastruttura di intelligenza artificiale che integra dati di prima e terza parte, alimentando la piattaforma diffusa con Postel e Microsoft alle PMI italiane e la piattaforma con l’offerta DV360 per le agenzie media globali.
 

LONDRA e MILANO, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Audiencerate Ltd, una delle 11 realtà al mondo certificate da Google come Customer Match Upload Partner e partner Microsoft IP Co-sell con eligibilità MACC, annuncia Riccardo Fabbri come Chief Technology Officer. La nomina apre una fase di duplice espansione: la piattaforma Audiencerate–Postel–Microsoft per le PMI italiane, e la piattaforma Dati integrata a Google DV360 per Agenzie e Data Provider, entrambe in evoluzione verso un modello che utilizza in modo nativo dati di prima e terza parte attraverso AI e machine learning. 

Un profilo costruito su vent’anni di trasformazione digitale
 

Fabbri porta in Audiencerate oltre due decenni di esperienza in sviluppo software e architetture cloud. Co-fondatore nel 2004 di Nohup, agenzia di consulenza in cloud-native development, ha portato la società al riconoscimento del Financial Times tra i leader europei del settore per due anni consecutivi (2021 e 2022). Nell’agosto 2021 Nohup è stata acquisita dal Gruppo Havas, portando i suoi 30 professionisti tra Milano, Torino e Udine in Havas CX. La cifra distintiva del percorso di Fabbri è rigore ingegneristico, attenzione alla privacy e conoscenza profonda dei flussi operativi del mondo media, asset imprescindibile nel quadro europeo di AI Act, GDPR e Codice del Consumo. 

Il salto AI-driven per PMI e Agenzie
 

Sotto la leadership di Fabbri, Audiencerate accelererà su due binari paralleli. Sul fronte PMI, AI e machine learning consentono apprendimento continuo dei modelli, modellazione predittiva (propensity scoring, lookalike, CLV) e auto-ottimizzazione di budget e bid management. Sul fronte agenzie, i dati di prima parte degli advertiser servono da seed per modelli di lookalike e propensity arricchiti con segnali di terza parte: un’audience che combina rilevanza del 1P con scala del 3P, conforme a privacy ed evoluzioni dell’ecosistema cookie. 

Le dichiarazioni
 

“L’ingresso di Riccardo è il pezzo che mancava,” commenta Gianluca Leotta, Presidente di Audiencerate. “Un imprenditore-tecnologo che ha portato Nohup ad un exit europea, ha vissuto dall’interno il mondo delle agenzie media internazionali e conosce esattamente la grammatica tecnologica del nostro percorso. È una scelta di lungo periodo, coerente con la visione patrimoniale e industriale che abbiamo sempre avuto su questo progetto.” 

“Audiencerate ha costruito negli anni un asset tecnologico unico: una posizione di Data Provider nativa nell’ecosistema Google e Microsoft, con certificazioni e partnership che pochissime società possono vantare,” dichiara Riccardo Fabbri. “Il progetto è insieme sfidante ed entusiasmante. Da un lato portare questa infrastruttura a milioni di PMI italiane attraverso Postel e Microsoft. Dall’altro evolvere l’offerta DV360 mettendo a frutto vent’anni a fianco delle agenzie media: i trading desk hanno bisogno di modelli che fondano in modo intelligente dati di prima e terza parte, mentre compiono un percorso di automazione e scala essenziale per recuperare la marginalità che il mercato non riconosce come un tempo. È il tipo di sfida ingegneristica che riconosco affine al mio percorso da founder e imprenditore.” 

About Audiencerate
 

Audiencerate Ltd, con sede a Londra e filiali in Italia e Stati Uniti, è specializzata in data activation, audience intelligence e marketing AI-driven. Google Customer Match Upload Partner (dicembre 2025), Google Data Provider dal 2012, Microsoft IP Co-sell Eligible / MACC Eligible. NEXI è il principale cliente enterprise in Italia.

The co-founder and former managing partner of Nohup (acquired by Havas Group in 2021) will lead the development of the artificial intelligence infrastructure that integrates first-party and third-party data, powering the platform delivered with Postel and Microsoft to Italian SMEs and the platform with the DV360 offering for global media agencies.
 

LONDON and MILAN, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Audiencerate Ltd, one of 11 globally certified Google Customer Match Upload Partners and a Microsoft IP Co-sell certified partner with MACC eligibility, today announced the appointment of Riccardo Fabbri as Chief Technology Officer. The appointment marks a phase of dual expansion: the Audiencerate–Postel–Microsoft platform for Italian SMEs, and the Data platform integrated with Google DV360 for Agencies and Data Providers — both evolving toward a model that natively leverages first-party and third-party data through AI and machine learning. 

A profile built on twenty years of digital transformation
 

Fabbri brings to Audiencerate over two decades of experience in software development and cloud architectures. Co-founder in 2004 of Nohup, a digital consultancy in cloud-native development, he led the company to Financial Times recognition among Europe’s leading firms in the sector for two consecutive years (2021 and 2022). In August 2021 Nohup was acquired by the Havas Group, bringing its 30 professionals across Milan, Turin, and Udine into Havas CX. The distinctive trait of Fabbri’s path is engineering rigor, attention to privacy, and deep knowledge of media operational workflows — an essential asset within the European framework of AI Act, GDPR, and the Italian Consumer Code. 

The AI-driven leap for SMEs and Agencies
 

Under Fabbri’s leadership, Audiencerate will accelerate on two parallel tracks. On the SME front, AI and machine learning enable continuous model learning, predictive modeling (propensity scoring, lookalike, CLV) and self-optimization of budget and bid management. On the agency front, advertisers’ first-party data serves as seed for lookalike and propensity models enriched with third-party signals: an audience that combines 1P relevance with 3P scale, compliant with privacy and cookie ecosystem evolution. 

Statements
 

“Riccardo’s entry is the missing piece,” said Gianluca Leotta, President of Audiencerate. “A technologist-entrepreneur who took Nohup to a European exit, lived inside the international media agency world, and knows the technical grammar of our trajectory exactly. It is a long-term choice, consistent with the patrimonial and industrial vision we have always had for this project.” 

“Audiencerate has built over the years a unique technological asset: a Data Provider position native to both Google and Microsoft ecosystems, with certifications and partnerships that very few companies can claim,” said Riccardo Fabbri. “The project is both challenging and exciting. On one side, bringing this infrastructure to millions of Italian SMEs through Postel and Microsoft. On the other, evolving the DV360 offering by drawing on twenty years alongside media agencies: trading desks need models that intelligently fuse first-party and third-party data, while pursuing the automation and scale needed to recover margins the market no longer recognizes as it once did. This is the kind of engineering challenge that resonates with my path as a founder and entrepreneur.”

CASCINA – Susanna Ceccardi è stata nominata ufficialmente vicepresidente del gruppo Patriots for Europe al parlamento europeo.

L’eurodeputata della Lega assume così un ruolo di primo piano all’interno della terza forza politica dell’Eurocamera. “Ringrazio di cuore il presidente Jordan Bardella e tutti i colleghi per la fiducia accordatami. È un grande onore assumere l’incarico di vicepresidente del gruppo Patriots for Europe”, dichiara Susanna Ceccardi a margine della nomina.

“Noi Patriots siamo attualmente il terzo gruppo più numeroso del Parlamento Europeo e rappresentiamo la vera e unica alternativa all’attuale maggioranza che governa l’Europa. Lavoriamo per crescere ancora di più e diventare il primo. La mia nomina rafforza il contributo dell’Italia all’interno di una grande alleanza europea di popoli, identità e libertà. Come Lega e come Patriots, porteremo con ancor più determinazione a Strasburgo e Bruxelles la voce degli italiani: la voce di chi chiede sicurezza, sviluppo, lavoro e difesa delle proprie radici”.

La neo vicepresidente traccia le linee programmatiche del suo mandato, richiamando l’esperienza politica nazionale: “L’esperienza maturata in questi anni a fianco di Matteo Salvini, sin da quando era ministro dell’interno, mi ha insegnato che difendere i confini significa difendere non solo l’Italia, ma l’intera Europa. Per questo continueremo a contrastare con forza le politiche migratorie incontrollate della sinistra che hanno messo in difficoltà le nostre comunità, la nostra sicurezza e la nostra identità”.

Sul fronte economico e ambientale, Ceccardi spiega: “Portiamo avanti una visione pro-industria, pro-sviluppo e soprattutto pro-libertà d’impresa, per fermare un Green Deal ideologico che rischia di compromettere la competitività delle nostre imprese e il futuro dei nostri lavoratori. Da vicepresidente, porto in questo Parlamento la voce dei territori, delle regioni, delle comunità e delle eccellenze italiane che rappresentano il cuore vivo del nostro continente. Non vogliamo un’Europa dei burocrati, ma un’Europa dei popoli e delle nazioni”.

“Infine resta per noi centrale la dimensione valoriale: saremo in prima linea – conclude Ceccardi – nella lotta all’islam radicale, nella difesa delle donne europee e nella tutela dei valori cristiani e occidentali, che non sono negoziabili. Insieme, lavoreremo per un’Europa di Stati sovrani: un’Europa più sicura, prospera e identitaria“.

New joint blueprints help healthcare organizations modernize infrastructure by extending a secure, immutable endpoint OS foundation into SASE architectures 

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IGEL, a global software company delivering the 
Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform™, today announced the availability of new healthcare security blueprints developed in partnership with Zscaler, the leader in cloud security. Introduced at HIMSS26 Europe in Copenhagen, the blueprints provide healthcare organizations with architectural guidance for securing distributed care delivery, supporting protection of protected health information (PHI), and strengthening operational continuity planning across clinics, remote clinician workflows, and isolated recovery environments. 

As healthcare delivery becomes more distributed, provider organizations face increased endpoint exposure, expanded access paths to critical clinical systems, and growing pressure to maintain care continuity during disruptive events. The joint IGEL and Zscaler blueprints address these challenges by combining IGEL’s immutable endpoint OS, Universal Management Suite (UMS), and IGEL App Portal with Zscaler’s identity- and policy-based access controls delivered through the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ platform. 

The blueprints are designed specifically for healthcare and focus on three high-priority use cases: secure access to isolated recovery environments during cyber disruption, a standardized security and access model for distributed clinics, and secure remote access for clinicians working beyond the traditional hospital perimeter. Together, they provide healthcare organizations with Zero Trust architectural guidance designed to reduce reliance on traditional VPN-centric access models, reduce PHI persistence on endpoints depending on customer configuration, and promote more consistent access policies across distributed care settings 

“For healthcare organizations, resilience and security cannot be treated as separate initiatives,” said Matthias Haas, CTO of IGEL. “These joint healthcare blueprints with Zscaler provide practical guidance for reducing endpoint risk, enforcing policy-based access, and supporting care delivery even when parts of the environment cannot be fully trusted.” 

“Care delivery has expanded far beyond the hospital walls, and the attack surface has expanded with it”, said Frank Nydam, Executive Director, Healthcare at Zscaler. “Our partnership with IGEL gives healthcare organizations a modern architecture for securing distributed endpoints at scale, helping reduce risk while supporting fast, reliable access for care teams.” 

By combining endpoint integrity with cloud-delivered access enforcement, IGEL and Zscaler help healthcare organizations simplify security architecture, consolidate overlapping tools, and establish a more sustainable model for protecting clinical workflows and patient data. 

The IGEL and Zscaler Healthcare Blueprints are available now. Healthcare organizations attending HIMSS26 Europe can learn more from IGEL during the event in Copenhagen.
