FRSH FINAL DEADLINE NOTICE: ROSEN, SKILLED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Freshworks Inc. Investors with Losses Exceeding $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important January 3 Deadline in Securities Class Action – FRSH

NEW YORK, Dec. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ: FRSH) pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering conducted in September 2021 (the “IPO”), of the important January 3, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Freshworks securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Freshworks class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9546 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 3, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate Freshworks’ IPO were false and misleading and omitted to state that, at the time of the offering, the Company’s business had encountered obstacles. As a result, Freshworks’ net dollar retention rate was plateauing, and its revenue growth rate and billings were decelerating. As the truth about Freshworks’ business reached the market, the value of its shares declined dramatically, causing Freshworks investors to suffer significant damages. Indeed, by the commencement of the action, Freshworks’ shares traded as low as $10.51 per share, representing a decline of over 70% from the IPO price.

To join the Freshworks class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9546 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

CGTN：How do emergency wards in China cope with increasing COVID patients?

BEIJING, Dec. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Ninety-year-old Qu Fucheng was waiting for his COVID-19 treatment in Wuhan Zhongnan Hospital when his son realized how crowded the emergency department was.

“My father was in very critical condition at home, ” the son told CGTN, frowning. “If something had happened to him because I didn’t handle the situation well, I don’t know how I would ever have been able to forgive myself.”

The deputy head of the department said they had seen “a significant increase” in the number of patients, while most of the severely ill were senior people with underlying diseases.

In a bid to leave no patient unattended, the emergency department converted the emergency observation room into a buffer zone to reduce waiting time.

And that’s where Qu Fucheng was transferred to.

“Seeing my father’s serious condition, the doctors immediately took him to one of the beds,” the son said. “I thought it wouldn’t have gone that smoothly when I was at home.”

To treat as many patients as possible, all medical personnel and equipment have worked around the clock with full “combat effectiveness.” After receiving first aid treatment, Qu’s condition soon saw some improvement.

Head nurse Tian Yu told CGTN that a buffer zone is not enough to smooth the workflow, adding that a good workflow is critical for the emergency department.

No “hospital run”

Such measures are being taken in many emergency wards across China, as the country saw an increase in COVID patients after lifting some of the COVID restrictions.

Some worried there will be too many patients for the hospitals to host, leading to a so-called “hospital run” like a bank run during an economic crisis. Luckily this didn’t happen thanks to timely adjustments in hospitals.

Cities like Beijing built more temporary fever clinics, while others like Chongqing expanded existing fever-treating department and reassigned doctors from other departments to support COVID treatment.

Online solution

The Chinese government also expanded online medical services for COVID-19 patients on December 12. Areas like Beijing, Zhejiang and Hunan have already put the new policy into practice.

“The online medical services can provide consultation and medication guidance for more patients who stay at home,” Jiao Yahui, head of the Bureau of Medical Administration under NHC, told China Media Group. “Prescriptions can be made online and drugs would be delivered offline, which can ease the pressure of visiting doctors offline, and avoid crowds in hospitals to reduce the risk of cross-infections.”

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 3, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Enviva had misrepresented the environmental sustainability of its wood pellet production and procurement; (2) Enviva had similarly overstated the true measure of cash flow generated by the Company’s platform; (3) accordingly, Enviva had misrepresented its business model and the Company’s ability to achieve the level of growth that defendants had represented to investors; and (4) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Call for Papers: IAEA International Symposium on Isotope Hydrology

Interested contributors have until 30 January 2023 to submit abstracts for the IAEA’s International Symposium on Isotope Hydrology: Sustainable Water Resources in a Changing World, to be held from 3 to 7 July at IAEA headquarters in Vienna, Austria.

Isotope hydrology is a sophisticated nuclear technique that reveals the history of water molecules and contributes to a better understanding of the way in which water is cycled through land, the ocean and the atmosphere, known as the water cycle. It has applications in water resources assessment and management, the study of past and future changes in the Earth’s climate and the impacts of climate changes on the water cycle, and in forensic areas such as ecological, wildlife and food source traceability.

Held every four years since 1963, this 16th symposium in the series will provide a unique opportunity to review the state-of-the-science, practical applications, research trends and needs in isotope hydrology. Building on the success of the past six decades, the event will bring together water and environment professionals from developed and developing countries to facilitate the exchange of information and knowledge.

“Technical capacity development is central to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal – SDG 6 – on ‘clean water and sanitation’,” said Najat Mokhtar, IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications. Highlighting that in the last 10 years the IAEA has carried out over 125 projects in 75 countries specifically in improving the technical capacity to analyse water samples in well-functioning laboratories, she added: “In all these projects, we tailor our services to the local needs, with a significant capacity building component. In island states, we help nations tackle saltwater intrusion. In the Central American Dry Corridor or in Africa’s Sahel regions, we help countries address transboundary groundwater management.”

Contributors interested in submitting papers for the Symposium should focus on the following topics:

Revisiting the role of tritium as a tracer in hydrological cycle processes and groundwater systems

Hydrosphere–atmosphere interactions including isotopic insights on meteorological extremes, convective rains and catchment runoff

Assessing changes in the cryosphere and their impact on water sustainability and security

Evaluating water quality, tracking contaminant sources and reaction pathways in different environmental systems including areas affected by mining and agricultural activities

Application of isotope age tracers to evaluate sub-annual to 1 Ma water residence time

New analytical developments, approaches, and tools in isotopologue ratio measurement and data quality

Integrating isotope techniques with other advanced techniques such as big data from remote sensing or high-frequency sensors, advanced data analysis using geographic information systems, machine learning and/or modelling applications

Isotopic reflections on water resources due to climate change including adaptation and mitigation approaches

Enabling and strengthening science-based policies for water resource management

Actions and activities that support capacity building and mainstreaming of gender equality in isotope hydrology projects

The event will take place in between the UN Water Conference in March and the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) in December. “Technical conclusions and findings of our symposium will help identify high priority activities for the IAEA Water Resources Programme,” said Jodie Miller, Scientific Secretary of the Symposium and Head of the IAEA’s Isotope Hydrology Section. “Our activities will feed into the 2018 to 2028 UN Water Action Decade and make tangible advances towards achieving SDG 6.”

Guidelines for the submission of abstracts are available here. Attendance at the conference is free of charge and there is no registration fee.

IAEA and six decades of water science

The IAEA promotes the application of nuclear techniques to all aspects of freshwater resource assessments and water management and protection. It provides training in isotope hydrology data analysis and measurement methods, as well as expert services and analyses. The IAEA also supports capacity building and technology transfer through technical cooperation projects as well as coordinated research projects and organizes training courses, fellowships, expert missions, webinars and international conferences to support the continuous professional development.

In support of these actions, the IAEA houses one of the world’s leading laboratories in isotope hydrology at its headquarters in Vienna, Austria. Covering liquid water, water vapour and the cryosphere, this lab generates and curates data on the isotope composition of water in precipitation, surface-water and groundwater. The data generated here, and other labs that the IAEA supports, provides the necessary information for countries to develop a comprehensive evaluation of the status of national water resources.

The IAEA and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) have been operating the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) since 1960, a worldwide isotope monitoring network of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in precipitation, in cooperation with partner institutions in over 100 Member States.

Similarly, the Global Network of Isotopes in Rivers (GNIR) is a worldwide voluntary environmental observation programme initiated in 2002 dedicated to the collection, compilation and dissemination of isotopic assays of Earth’s river waters.
