HUMAN rights advocate-cum-lawyer Charles Hector has opposed the sacking of five contract aides to Human Resources Minister V. Sivakumar as disrespectful to human rights and also possibly unlawful. He further argued that by virtue of having been arrested or being investigated by the police, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) or law enforcement agencies alone is no justification to terminate or dismiss an employee. 'Even if one is charged and is being tried for an offence, there is no justification for an employer to terminate any employee,' he penned in his recent blog.

BENGALURU – Bank Indonesia (BI) will keep its key interest rate unchanged at 5.75 percent for a fifth consecutive meeting on Thursday and for the rest of the year, as inflation eased in May and was expected to decline further, a Reuters poll of economists found. After peaking around 6 percent in September, inflation gradually eased to reach the upper end of BI's 2-4 percent target range last month, suggesting BI can wait and watch, even as policymakers in the U.S. and Europe are likely to continue tightening policy.

The sustainable production of hydrogen could potentially be made more efficient by adding a cleverly chosen salt to the process. Researchers at the Leiden Institute of Chemistry (LIC), in collaboration with physicists at the University of Twente, have discovered that the type of salt present in the production of hydrogen through electrolysis affects the formation of hydrogen bubbles. This is interesting because bubble formation affects the efficiency of hydrogen production. Sustainable hydrogen production is going to play an important role in the energy transition.

Conventional vaccines usually contain antigens – components of the respective pathogens – that bind to receptors on the surface of their target cells in order to trigger the disease. Scientists at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and the Max Delbrück Center have now discovered that antigen variants with low receptor binding can be advantageous for the development of vaccines. The research team has succeeded in producing a new vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus by identifying spike protein mutants that lack binding affinity.

Monday, 12 June 2023, 8:22AM On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Izzy Whitley.  Izzy is one of New Zealand's most successful, self-made men under 30. He's 28, has founded two businesses that do over $30 million a year in revenue and has the world at his feet. But things weren't always so smooth.   In this episode we work through his incredible rise; from his humble beginnings in Gisborne to leaving home at 16 and dropping out of uni. At the age of 21 he had lost his father to suicide, suffered two heart attacks himself, and was dealing with his trauma, alone, with nothing, in an Auckland hospital.
