State-of-the-Art Building Emphasizes Employee Experience and Sustainability

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, today announced the opening of its new North America headquarters in Downtown San Diego. Representing a significant milestone in the company’s growth, the state-of-the-art facility will support over 200 North American local and remote employees. The opening was celebrated at the new headquarters – bringing together ESET’s community partners, building and construction partners, ESET’s global leadership and local employees.

“Our new San Diego office is not just a place to work, it’s a space where our employees can thrive,” said Ryan Grant, SVP of Sales and Marketing at ESET North America. “Our goal was to create a distinctly different environment from working at home, which meant that every decision – from the floorplan to the furniture – was guided by our desire to create a dynamic and sustainable workplace for our teams. At the same time, we have built a collaborative environment for our channel partners, business customers and local community partners to convene and tackle tomorrow’s greatest cybersecurity threats and solutions. In fact, we recently held our first event in the new space with #LatinaGeeks – offering a Cybersecurity Certification Workshop that trained 37 San Diegans.”

Located down the street from ESET’s former location in Little Italy, ESET’s new 655 W Broadway location was selected to allow employees to maintain their connections to the vibrant waterfront area and Little Italy, which offer healthy eating and easily accessible public transportation options, including the COASTER Commuter Rail, Coronado Ferry, the San Diego Trolley, and the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System. With a commitment to minimizing environmental impact, the modern 24,000-square-foot office boasts a Platinum LEED and Energy Star Gold certification as well as a 2-star Fitwel rating, which incorporates more than 55 evidence-based design and operational strategies that enhance buildings by addressing a broad range of health behaviors and risks.

From site selection to décor, ESET prioritized a landfill-neutral strategy and ethically sourced materials, aligning with the company’s net zero 2050 sustainability goals. ESET partnered with local vendors like bkm OfficeWorks to design modular office systems, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional stick-built offices, which give employees the flexibility to quickly change the office configuration if desired. The office comes with an outdoor patio with an amphitheater, a full gym with an active class schedule, spaces for entertaining, stunning views and complimentary services that appeal to the modern worker. Additional partners who helped bring ESET’s vision to life for the new headquarters included Hughes Marino, WareMalcomb and Back’s Construction.

“At ESET we are committed to making a difference, not only in the cyber world, but in the everyday lives of the communities where we operate,” added Grant. “We have an established history of local engagement and cybersecurity awareness in San Diego, and this was a key factor in our decision to double down on our San Diego presence. ESET is a proud partner of a number of local foundations – from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego and Promises2Kids to San Diego Police Foundation’s SafetyNet program – where we have supported programs to close cybersecurity education gaps and ensure San Diegans are able to defend against bad actors. We are also active members of San Diego’s Cyber Center of Excellence (CCOE) where we work to educate local SMBs and are involved in programs to grow the regional cyber economy.”

As the cybersecurity industry struggles with an ongoing talent shortage and slow progress toward diversity, ESET’s efforts are making a difference in San Diego and across its offices. While recent (ISC)2 industry research puts the percentage of women in the cybersecurity workforce at 24%, ESET North America has made impressive strides to hire and foster diversity at all levels with a workforce that is 37% women and a leadership team that is 39% women. To support this, the company has developed mentorship programs and expanded Women of the Workforce groups aimed at supporting women in their careers, encouraging advancement and promoting work-life balance. ESET also launched the Women in Cybersecurity Scholarship in 2016 to help close the gap in STEM – awarding multiple scholarships each year to women in the U.S. and Canada. To date, 26 recipients have been awarded and the program has continued to expand to other ESET global offices, including Australia, United Kingdom and Singapore.

BitradeX BXC First Two Subscription Rounds Sell Out, Total Subscriptions Exceed 14M USDT

Published

on

By

LONDON, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BitradeX Capital’s ecosystem equity token, BXC, has completed its first and second subscription rounds, selling a total of 50 million BXC with subscriptions exceeding 14 million USDT. The first round sold out in 90 seconds, while the second closed within 48 hours.

While the fundraising size is not unusually large by crypto standards, the structure of the sale has attracted market attention. The first two rounds were not open to the public, but limited to high-tier BitradeX users. The first round was available only to V5 users and above, while the second round expanded access to V3 users and above.

According to BitradeX’s tier system, V3+ users typically have higher recurring investment activity through AiBot, longer platform usage history, and stronger ecosystem participation. This means the early BXC allocation was absorbed mainly by the platform’s internal high-value user base, rather than short-term speculative participants.

This approach differs from many token fundraising campaigns that prioritize broad public participation and market hype. BitradeX instead adopted a more selective, staged model, gradually lowering the participation threshold while keeping the sale within its active ecosystem community.

BXC is positioned as more than a standard platform token. Its value framework is linked to BitradeX Capital’s broader ecosystem, including its exchange business, AiBot quantitative strategies, BTX Card payments, and Labs incubation platform. Public information indicates that BXC holders may receive staking rewards, benefit from ecosystem buybacks and burns, and gain priority access to Launchpad projects and governance participation.

The third subscription round is launched on April 30 at $0.35 USDT per BXC, with a total supply of 100 million BXC. It is now open to users participating in AiBot recurring investment. The fourth round price is expected to rise to $0.45 USDT.

The long-term value of BXC will ultimately depend on the growth of BitradeX’s underlying businesses, including exchange profitability, AiBot user expansion, and BTX Card adoption. However, the rapid sellout of the first two rounds suggests that BitradeX’s core user base has already shown strong confidence in the ecosystem’s future.

South and East Asia identified as hotspots of global warming related impacts on male fertility

Published

on

By

BEIJING, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A major new study has shown that South and East Asia dominate patterns of global warming related decline in male fertility with the strongest and most consistent evidence coming from India, Pakistan and the southern parts of China.

The effects of increased environmental temperatures on male reproductive health include declining sperm concentration and motility and increased sperm DNA fragmentation, or genetic damage that can hinder fertilisation and embryo development.

Male related factors account for around 50 per cent of infertility cases around the world and the impact of rising ambient heat on semen parameters raises serious implications across wide areas of Asia where total fertility rates are in serious decline.

Outcomes of the study undertaken by the Taiwan IVF Group and Ton Yen General Hospital, Taiwan (China) in collaboration with Stanford University (USA) are being presented at the 2026 Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE) in Beijing.

Research principal and Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University, Dr Jack Yu Jen Huang, MD, PhD, FACOG said: “Given the temperature sensitivity of spermatogenesis, even modest increases in ambient temperature could have cumulative, population-level effects over time.

“As global warming accelerates, male reproductive health may represent an emerging climate sensitive public health concern.”

The testes function optimally at temperatures lower than the internal body heat level, and previous studies have shown elevated scrotal or ambient temperatures can impair sperm production.

The latest research explored global patterns to reveal comparative data across regions. It is based on a systematic review of international studies on temperature exposure and semen parameter trends between 2000 and 2024. Artificial intelligence algorithms and machine learning tools were applied to extract key variables including geographic regions and semen outcomes.

Dr Huang said studies examining occupational heat exposure alone were excluded from the analysis as they reflected localised, job-specific conditions rather than broader climatic trends.

“Our findings therefore represent population level climate associated temperature effects including consistent seasonal variations showing poor semen quality parameters in warmer periods.”

The global patterns on temperature associated lower sperm concentration and motility show South and East Asia as major hot spots of concern followed by the Middle East, Europe and North America.

“South and East Asia are likely more affected due to a combination of factors including higher baseline ambient temperatures and rapid urbanisation that contribute to greater cumulative heat stress on spermatogenesis,” Dr Huang explained.

“With ongoing global warming, chronic heat exposure may increasingly impact male reproductive health.”

Dr Huang said potential approaches to address the issue include:

increasing public awareness of heat exposure and reproductive health;encouraging protective behaviours;expanding research integrating climate and reproductive health data; andexploring clinical and lifestyle interventions to mitigate heat-related effects.

The research team was assisted by research intern Jeffrey Zi Kang Huang from Taipei American School, particularly in the application of artificial intelligence in biomedical research including AI-assisted data analysis and pattern recognition across global datasets.

“Further longitudinal and mechanistic studies will be important to better define causality and guide interventions,” he added.

The ASPIRE Congress is being held at the China National Convention Centre in Beijing. More than 3,000 scientists, clinicians, nurses and counsellors in assisted reproduction from around the world are attending the Congress.
