ProBlow’s extra-long, ten-foot (120-inch) cord and lightweight 3.3lb body allows for maximum mobility, and its rubber tip allows for scratch-free drying, even if the tool comes in contact with the vehicle’s surface. Flip the easy-access switch and the ProBlow goes to work, rapidly drying any wet surface – from cars to motorcycles to boats, as well as around the house, including decks and wet pavement. It can even be used in the engine bay, around the garage, in the yard and more.

SAO PAULO, 13 January 2021

SAO PAULO, 13 January 2021 /PRNewswire Policy/ — La CoronaVac, una vacuna contra el nuevo coronavirus producida por el Instituto Butantan en asociación con la farmacéutica china Sinovac, tiene una eficacia global del 50,38%. La información fue dada a conocer el martes(12) por el gobierno de Sao Paulo.

La semana pasada, el gobierno dijo que la tasa de eficacia de la vacuna era del 78%. Sin embargo, eso se refiere solo a la eficacia de la vacuna en relación con los casos leves que necesitaban alguna atención médica.

Estos resultados se observaron en estudios realizados en Brasil con profesionales de la salud, más expuestos al virus. Pero al considerar también los casos leves que no requerían ninguna atención médica, la eficacia era menor. «Otros estudios, de otros fabricantes, no incluyeron casos de personas que tuvieron dos días de dolor de cabeza, incluso con resultados positivos de RT-PCR. Pero nosotros los incluimos», dijo Ricardo Palácios, director médico de investigación clínica del Instituto Butantan.

La eficacia general se mide durante las pruebas de la vacuna al compararse el número de todos los casos (leves, moderados o graves) que se han registrado de COVID-19 entre los voluntarios que han sido vacunados y los voluntarios que han recibido un placebo.

Durante todo el estudio de eficacia en Brasil, 252 voluntarios tenían COVID-19 leve (no necesitaron ayuda médica), 85 de los cuales habían sido vacunados y 167 se habían tomado un placebo. Entre los voluntarios en Brasil, 4.653 habían tomado la vacuna y 4.599 un placebo. La eficacia de los casos leves en pacientes que necesitaron alguna asistencia médica fue del 77,96%, de los cuales siete personas recibieron la vacuna y otras 31 un placebo.

La tasa de eficacia del CoronaVac está por encima de los parámetros mínimos exigidos por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y el Organismo Nacional de Vigilancia de la Salud (Anvisa). La tasa mínima de eficacia de una vacuna recomendada es del 50%. Según el gobierno de São Paulo, la tasa de eficacia era menor porque incluía todos los casos notificados de COVID-19 entre los voluntarios, incluidos los casos leves. «La vacuna puede disminuir la intensidad de la enfermedad clínica en un ambiente altamente expuesto. Y este efecto es mayor cuanto más aumenta (la gravedad de la enfermedad)», dijo Palácios.

Según Butantan, la vacuna ha asegurado una protección total contra los casos graves y las muertes por la enfermedad. En este caso, su efectividad fue del 100%. Ningún voluntario que recibió la vacuna murió o necesitó ser hospitalizado.

La vacuna se almacena a una temperatura de refrigerador entre 2ºC y 8ºC. «Tenemos hoy una de las mejores vacunas del mundo. Es una de las vacunas que tiene la logística más fácil porque se transporta a temperatura ambiente, tiene resistencia fuera de la nevera y puede llegar a cualquier ciudad del país», dijo Dimas Covas, director del Instituto Butantan.

Superadas las expectativas en telefonía móvil para 2020, los consumidores gastaron USD 143 mil millones en aplicaciones

SAN FRANCISCO, 13 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — App Annie, la compañía de analítica y datos móviles que ayuda a marcas y editoriales a crear experiencias ganadoras para telefonía móvil, lanzó hoy el informe The State of Mobile 2021. Esta evaluación anual ofrece información sobre el amplio impacto de la telefonía móvil entre las industrias y la economía global.

Durante el 2020 se aceleró la adopción móvil ya que los consumidores utilizaron sus dispositivos para conectarse, trabajar, aprender, jugar y escapar mientras la COVID-19 restringía su forma de vida. Los consumidores gastaron USD 143 mil millones en aplicaciones móviles durante 2020, un aumento del 20 % con respecto a 2019. Los principales mercados que impulsaron este gasto fueron China, Estados Unidos, Japón, Corea del Sur y el Reino Unido.

Estos son algunos de los hallazgos:

  • Aumentó el tiempo de uso de dispositivos móviles: se pasaron 4,2 horas en Android equivalentes a 3,5 billones de horas, un incremento del 20 % y el 25 %, respectivamente, desde 2019
  • Los juegos móviles siguen insuperables: este sector está encaminado a superar los USD 120 mil millones en gasto por parte del consumidor para 2021, lo que representará 1,5 veces del mercado de juegos en general
  • El aumento de tiempo de uso es transversal a las generaciones: en los Estados Unidos, la Generación Z, los Millennials y la Generación X o Baby Boomers dedicaron un 16 %, 18 % y 30 % más de tiempo por usuario en sus aplicaciones más usadas con respecto al año anterior
  • Las aplicaciones de redes sociales ocupan un lugar central: el tiempo de uso por usuario aumentó hasta un 325 % con respecto al año anterior. TikTok está encaminada a llegar a 1,2 mil millones de usuarios activos mensuales en 2021, ya que los consumidores buscan mantenerse conectados y entretenidos
  • La telefonía móvil potencia la industria publicitaria: en 2020 el gasto publicitario creció hasta USD 240 mil millones, un 26 % más que en 2019
  • La financiación se mantuvo sólida: se invirtieron USD 73 mil millones en compañías móviles, un crecimiento del 27 % con respecto a 2019

El informe State of Mobile 2021 muestra cómo analizar las macrotendencias y la demografía, lo que ayuda a identificar qué marcas y publicadores líderes están ganando en juegos, fintech, comercio minorista, redes sociales, video, entre otros.

«El mundo ha cambiado para siempre. Mientras la gente se mantiene en casa en todo el mundo, vimos que los hábitos móviles llevan tres años acelerándose», afirmó Theodore Krantz, director ejecutivo de App Annie.

Según James Cordery, director de Performance Marketing Strategy de Deliveroo: «Durante 2020 pudimos enfocarnos en ejecutar estrategias móviles que realmente generaron un crecimiento progresivo para Deliveroo. Pudimos asociar las opiniones de los consumidores con el contexto del mercado desde App Annie para tomar decisiones que han tenido gran impacto sobre nuestro desempeño».

Este año, con una nueva experiencia interactiva, el informe ofrece una visión general de narrativas móviles claves para 11 industrias y 30 países. El análisis y las estimaciones en este informe se basan en App Annie Intelligence.

«As a team, our entire organization around the globe has worked very hard to achieve the IATF certification, which represents best in class quality management systems for both manufacturing and distribution, engineering, and supply chain management. This is meaningful to our customers as they expect the highest level of quality from Optimas,» said Gabriela Gallegos, Optimas Vice President of Quality. «Less than 15 percent of suppliers in industrial markets have achieved IATF certification and we are very proud to be part of that elite group.»  

According to Optimas CEO Marc Strandquist, this achievement opens more doors for securing new business and working at new levels with existing customers. «We are one of very few fastener suppliers and manufacturers that have IATF registration, which is well recognized outside of the automotive industry as a premiere level of quality assurance in the business world,» he said. «Our Manufacturing Solutions strategy announced last August is once again paying off for our customers and suppliers alike.»

In 1999, IATF aimed to harmonize the different assessment and certification systems worldwide in the supply chain for the automotive sector with its first edition of ISO/TS 16949 standards.  The IATF 16949 standard provides guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products consistently meet customer requirements and that quality and customer satisfaction are consistently improved. The IATF 16949 standard is a supplemental standard and is used in conjunction with the ISO standards and is a common set of techniques and methods for common product and process development for automotive manufacturing worldwide. The standards are often used outside the automotive industry and is a testament to their high level of applicability across other manufacturing sectors.

APAA Congratulates President-Elect Biden and Calls for the Preservation of the Section 232 Aluminum Tariffs

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the American Primary Aluminum Association (APAA) in a letter congratulated President-elect Joe Biden on his upcoming inauguration, called for unity in our country, and urged the incoming Biden Administration to maintain protections for America’s primary aluminum industry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the American Primary Aluminum Association (APAA) in a letter congratulated President-elect Joe Biden on his upcoming inauguration, called for unity in our country, and urged the incoming Biden Administration to maintain protections for America’s primary aluminum industry. APAA member companies stand ready to work with the Biden Administration to strengthen the U.S. economy, rebuild domestic supply chains and create new aluminum jobs across our great nation.

«As the Biden Administration takes office, it inherits a program under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 that has saved thousands of American aluminum jobs,» said Mark Duffy, CEO of APAA. «As a result of the Section 232 program total U.S. primary aluminum production has increased by nearly 60 percent, and two idled smelters have restarted. If the Section 232 measures are removed before balance is restored in the global market, it is likely that the remaining U.S. smelters will be forced to shut down, leaving U.S. supply chains for this critical material vulnerable to disruption.»

The APAA letter highlights the importance that primary aluminum plays in U.S. defense, critical infrastructure, and other areas. APAA member company, Century Aluminum, has the sole remaining North American smelter of high-purity aluminum, which is essential to a variety of military applications, including light-weight armor plating to protect U.S. troops in combat. We must ensure that U.S. manufacturers like America’s primary aluminum industry can Build Back Better and look forward to being a partner with the Biden Administration in that effort.

About the American Primary Aluminum Association (APAA): The American Primary Aluminum Association advocates to advance the interests of America’s primary aluminum industry and its workers through the Aluminum Now campaign. The APAA is registered and incorporated in Washington, DC and operates as a non-profit trade association. For more, please visit: www.aluminumnow.org.
