A | (ECNS) -- Jiangxi registered 290,000 new urban jobs in the first half of 2026, fulfilling 71% of its annual target, the Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security said Thursday. According to a press conference, the surveyed urban unemployment rate in the province has been trending downward. It has made full use of unemployment insurance to support job creation, extending the temporary reduction in premium rates for both unemployment and work-related injury insurance. This move has eased the financial burden on insured entities by nearly 2 billion yuan (about $296 million). In the first half of this year, Jiangxi Province issued 20.99 billion yuan in entrepreneurial guarantee loans, surpassing its annual target ahead of schedule, and these loans helped stabilize and boost employment for more than 340,000 people. It has stepped up efforts to expand policy-backed job opportunities, creating 97,000 such posts and pooling 607,000 market-based positions within the province. Over 3,700 graduates have already applied for grassroots employment subsidies. The human resources and social security departments in Jiangxi have pushed forward employment support for returning migrant workers, assisting 81,800 people, of whom 70,300 have successfully found jobs. Of the 1.458 million workers who have risen out of poverty, all are now employed. In addition, 34,000 people with employment difficulties have secured jobs, all 47,000 fishermen who needed to transition to alternative employment due to the fishing ban have been reemployed, and 388,000 persons with disabilities have also entered the workforce. In addition, it has boosted re-employment for returning migrant workers, helping 81,800 people, with 70,300 placed in jobs. The province has achieved employment for 1.458 million formerly impoverished workers, 34,000 job-seekers with difficulties, all 47,000 fishermen affected by the fishing ban, and 388,000 people with disabilities.

By flushing blood infused with a special enzyme through a human kidney the scientists removed the blood type markers lining the blood vessels of the organ.,The procedure required using a device that is connected with a donor’s kidney to pass oxygenated blood through it - a normothermic perfusion machine. As a result, the organ was converted to type O, considered the universal donor.,Blood Group Compatible,As the blood type of a donor must be compatible with the recipient’s, the new development could increase the supply of kidneys available for transplant.,A kidney from someone with blood type A cannot be transplanted to someone with blood type B, or visa versa. In such a case, the receiving body’s immune system would reject the new organ, interpreting the different blood type as foreign.,So changing the blood type to the universal O would mean the donor organ could be used for people with any blood type.,“Our confidence was really boosted after we applied the enzyme to a piece of human kidney tissue and saw very quickly that the antigens were removed. After this, we knew that the process is feasible, and we just had to scale up the project to apply the enzyme to full-size human kidneys,” Serena MacMillan, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, said.,Scientists involved in the research, funded by charity Kidney Research UK and due to be published in the British Journal of Surgery, clarified that the outcome might have particular implications for minority ethnic groups.,Science & TechGood News for ABs: Scientists Can Now Change People's Blood Type21 February, 16:34 GMT,Some blood groups such as O Rh positive and B Rh positive are more prevalent among black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. To complicate matters further, some rare blood types are only found within the black, Asian and minority ethnic communities,This typically places them at a disadvantage, as they struggle to find a match. With low donation rates from these populations, stressed the researchers, sometimes such patients wait for as long as over a year for a compatible donor. They cited figures from 2020-21 showing that just over 9% of total organ donations in the UK came from black and minority ethnic donors. On the other hand, black and minority ethnic patients make up 33% of the kidney transplant waiting list.,“It’s very exciting to think about how this could potentially impact so many lives,” added Serena MacMillan.,The “potentially gamechanging” research was applauded by Dr Aisling McMahon, the executive director of research at Kidney Research UK.,The scientists will now test the reintroduction of other blood types and observe how the novel approach in clinical settings.。
