HONG KONG, Mar 1, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - On February 26, 2020, Broad Homes (02163.HK) released its annual results announcement for 2020. In 2020, it achieved total revenue of RMB2,613.9 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 22.4%, gross profit of RMB926.8 million, a year-on-year decrease of 19.0%, net profit of RMB216.4 million, a year-on-year decrease of 68.0%, and an increase in gross profit margin from 34.0% in 2019 to 35.5% in 2020.
Broad Homes remarked that the decline in revenue was on one hand attributable to delayed construction progress of certain of its joint factories due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and on the other, a decrease in gains from loss of significant influence in associates by over 70% in 2020 from the corresponding period last year as a result of an adjustment in management mode of certain joint factories, as well as the improving layout of joint factories nationwide with the progressing of the "Broad Homes United Program".
However, it is noticeable that PC unit manufacturing business of Broad Homes secured remark performance in 2020, with new contract amount reaching RMB4.09 billion, up 31.7% from RMB3.106 billion the corresponding period last year, and backlog amount reaching RMB5.196 billion, up 38.6% from RMB3.749 billion the corresponding period last year. Sufficient orders of the PC unit manufacturing business pave the way for Broad Homes in 2021.
Looking into future, Broad Homes will embrace more opportunities leveraging the three advantages of rapid industry development, its data-driven and B+C dual-diver strategies. According to the Resolution in Relation to the Financial Budget Report for 2021 as set out in the appendix of Meetings to be Resolved at Annual General Meeting and Notice of Annual General Meeting published together with its annual report, Broad Homes budgets a revenue of RMB4.92 billion for 2021, a year-on-year increase of 88%.
PC Unit Business to Ride upon the Potential Industry Boom
In recent years, the state vigorously guides and encourages the development of the prefabricated construction industry. Thanks to the policy support of the central government, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other competent authorities, domestic prefabricated construction industry has embarked on rapid development. Pursuant to Frost & Sullivan, market scale of PC unit manufacturing business reached RMB65.4 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach RMB285.5 billion in 2024 at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 44.5%.
With the progressing of the "Broad Homes United Program" and improving layout of joint factories, Broad Homes primarily generate revenue from its PC unit manufacturing business, which achieved revenue of RMB2.4192 billion, a year-on-year increase of 5%, and as a proportion of total revenue increased to 92.6% from 68.4% of the corresponding period last year. Riding upon its on-going rapid growth, PC unit manufacturing business has become the core business of Broad Homes. As of June 2020, Broad Homes had 15 wholly-owned PC factories and 88 joint PC factories accumulatively contracted for, making it China's largest PC unit and PC equipment manufacturer.
According to the "2020 China Real Estate Industry Chain Strategic and Integrity Supplier Research Report" issued by China Real Estate Chamber of Commerce, Broad Homes was the most preferred cooperator among "Prefabricated Structure - PC Structure" brands in real estate suppliers.
As an industry pioneer, after more than two decades of exploration, Broad Homes has been blessed with marked advantages amid the rapid development of the industry, which, the market believes, is well positioned to enjoy the dividend from the rapid growth of the prefabricated construction industry.
Comprehensive Establishment of Digital Platform to Focus on Intelligent Upgrading
According to information available, Broad Homes is the pioneer and leader in the industrialization of construction industry in China and the first to adopt full process digital information system and industrial chain technology system with exclusive intellectual property rights, which is capable of offering global, scalable professionalized and intelligent manufacturing of prefabricated buildings and services
As the only prefabricated construction enterprise having been selected for the Pilot Demonstration Project of Intelligent Manufacturing by the MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC), Broad Homes has embarked on establishment of a prefabricated digital platform, upgraded digital development strategy and successfully forged two intelligent systems of PC-Maker software service strategy and PC-CPS system.
PC-Maker service strategy is able to enhance the design interactivity and optimize the design process. Through data collection, utilization and sharing, it promotes the virtuous circle of work done by different parties and continuously enhances the cooperation with and upgrading of strategic customers. As of the end of 2020, Broad Homes has provided comprehensive prefabricated construction solutions to almost 300 property developer, including Vanke, Country Garden, Evergrande, Jinke and Gemdale. The PC-Maker service strategy enables Broad Homes to realize the transformation from business cooperation to standard co-construction, and accelerates the comprehensive upgrading of prefabricated buildings to standardization, digitalization and intelligence at the product end.
Capitalizing on the mature PC-CPS intelligent manufacturing system, Broad Homes commences to transform into data-driven production at the demand end, and realized flexible demand-based manufacturing through digital definition of various elements of the industrial chain, which promoted and achieved efficiency, intelligence and visualization of the whole construction process, and further improved the product quality and construction efficiency. Providing full process digital solutions for prefabricated buildings with PC-CPS system helps to solve problems such as cost, logistics and supply chain management, and facilitates enterprises to achieve excess profit.
Consolidating Industry Leading Position Leveraging B+C Dual-driver Strategy
At the recent Central Rural Work Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that, the state had made it clear to comprehensively promote rural revitalization, accelerate the development of rural industries, deepen rural reform, implement rural construction, and improve the quality of rural housing construction. As a forerunner of construction industrialization, Broad Homes proactively responded to the national strategy to implement rural construction, and successfully realized the strategic transformation from TOB to TOB+TOC in 2020.
At the business end, Broad Homes remains committed to PC unit manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing research and development (R&D), and gradually shits focus away from construction contracting. Broad Homes developed PC Maker software and PC CPS to improve its production efficiency and cost control capacity. Meanwhile, Broad Homes was the first to realize the importance of data elements, and took the lead in the full process prefabricated construction intelligent-oriented development.
At the consumer end, taking advantage of the policy of "separation of ownership, contracting right and management right" in rural homesteads, Broad Homes is expected to get involved in the trillion-level rural housing construction market. In 2020, Broad Homes focused on developing TOC business and launched B-house and the new product B-BOX. B-house products mainly target C-end consumers and the rural villa market, under which Broad Homes introduced seven standardized products, such as Buttonwood Villa, Oak Manor and Camphorwood Villa, established and opened B-house parks in Changsha, Wuhan, Tianjin and other cities, and developed new housing supply schemes to meet the diversified and customized consumption needs of the market, which is transforming the development trend of the traditional rural housing market.
TF Securities predicts that Broad Homes will embrace rapid development in the prefabricated rural villa market segment, its product type design will satisfy the demands of the whole market in the future and TOC business scale (excluding B-BOX) will reach RMB5.25 billion in the next three years, thereby contributing to considerable performance growth. In view of the expansion of housing market demand and the leading advantage of digital intelligent technology, Broad Homes is well positioned to consolidate its leading position in the prefabricated construction industry.
According to expert analysis, in 2020, China further introduced a more detailed industrial digital development strategy. In the new development era, Broad Homes continuously increases investment in digital economy, promotes R&D and digital upgrading, focuses on the principal business of PC unit manufacturing, and specifies the TOB+TOC dual-driver development strategy, which has laid a solid foundation for the rapid expansion of its PC unit business and the leading position in the prefabricated industry, and its future performance is expected to gain remarkable growth.

Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Collaborates to Restore Mangrove Forests in Seruyan
Kuala Pembuang, Indonesia, Mar 1, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - As 2021 starts, the media continues to carry horrific stories of ongoing environmental abuse. We can no longer deny that the climate crisis is real, but somehow we manage to do just that. 'Extinction: The Facts' is a BBC Earth documentary, in which Sir David Attenborough explores how the loss of biodiversity has consequences for us all. He mentions the impact of global warming and the resulting climate crisis that has led to a loss or change of three-quarters of the world's terrestrial surface. Sadly, the cause is human greed, our purchasing habits are killing off our natural resources.
There is so much we can do to help prevent further destruction. Mangrove ecosystem rehabilitation is something we feel can have an enormous impact on the environment and the people who depend on the health of the sea. Not only does this kind of forest store more carbon than normal forests, but it also protects a marine habitat that is vital to the oceans and the communities who live off the sea. The carbon in a mangrove forest is also called 'blue carbon'.
The main challenge faced by mangrove ecosystems is that they are dwindling, this is a result of their destruction due to land development and community fish breeding ponds where the natural rhythms of nature are not respected. Population growth, especially in coastal areas, has resulted in changes in land use and excessive utilization of natural resources, thus mangrove forests have quickly diminished or have been severely damaged.
Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve, Tanjung Puting National Park and Seruyan District Government are in collaboration with the community in replanting 30,000 mangrove seedlings (Rhyzophora sp) in Tanjung Siamuk Beach, Sungai Undang Village, Seruyan District. The planting ceremony was held on Tuesday, February 16, 2021."Sungai Undang village was chosen because 80% of the people are fishermen as well as fishpond farmers.
The problem with fishponds has become critical in that it has led to mangrove forest destruction," said Budi Suriansyah, Head of Management Section II of Tanjung Puting National Park who was directly involved in our mangrove recovery initiative.
The process of restoring mangrove ecosystems by involving the community has become especially important, it gives us an opportunity to build awareness of the value in maintaining the balance of the natural environment. Gerakan Masyarakat Bersatu, the local community group of Sungai Undang Village, was formed to create mangrove nurseries and conduct the necessary planting and monitoring. It is important that this type of initiative is managed in a sustainable way as this will ensure its success.
"Community involvement starts from designing, implementing, evaluating, and finding solutions. It is hoped that this process will increase the confidence and responsibility of community members and show that together we should be able to overcome some of the most important environmental problems," Murlan Dameria Pane, Head of Tanjung Puting National Park said.
Chairman of Gerakan Masyarakat Bersatu Sungai Undang Village, Agung Yulianto at the planting site stated, "Some people still look at this planting activity solely as a means of income, however a side effect of this initiative is that it is helping to develop a sense of ownership and a desire to preserve the biodiversity in our homeland."
The Seruyan mangrove forest area is located in Seruyan Hilir and Seruyan Hilir Timur sub-districts, which is just South of the working area of Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve and Tanjung Puting National Park. The loss of mangrove forest density in the Seruyan has become the main concern for all parties who have collaborated in this program, because if left alone, the result will be devastating. Not to mention that the loss of this rich ecosystem means a loss in the natural resources that support livelihoods of community people.
This replanting effort is expected to have a broad ecological impact on the environment and on the economic status of the surrounding communities.
"Now there is a special group that restores the beach with mangrove planting activities that help in preventing abrasion," said The Head of Sungai Undang Village Eka Puspita Sari proudly.In addition, this activity also provides opportunities to increase revenue from the construction of permeable dams, collecting seeds, filling polybags, nurseries, planting, monitoring and maintenance.
Community women are also able to generate an income by making "bronjong", large natural cages that protect the planted seedlings.
Bronjongs are made of split bamboo, 30 cm in diameter and 60-70cm high. The bamboo is bound together to form baskets which are filled with silt and the young seedlings are planted inside. The plants attach themselves firmly in the baskets which help them withstand the crashing waves. Using this method means that the seedlings are also not easily uprooted and have a greater chance of survival."Small but important, activities such as planting trees around the house or through tree adoption programs, are small steps that can have a large impact on the sustainability of life. The mangrove planting program in Seruyan, is expected to be one of the most impactful contributions we can make in mitigating the climate crisis," said Rimba Raya Executive Director Sylviana (Sylvi) Andhella.
The pace of climate change can be slowed by continuing to collaborate with all parties in designing sustainable-environmentally friendly-programs.
The challenges of replanting during this pandemic can be overcome by strictly following the arranged schedule, ensuring that tasks are evenly distributed and also by complying with the health protocols suggested by the government. The restrictions did not dampen the spirit of all teams involved in our mangrove ecosystem restoration efforts in Seruyan District, Central Kalimantan.Head of the Environment Office of Seruyan Regency, Priyo Widagdo representing Head of Seruyan District said, "Seruyan District supports and really appreciates this restoration activity as mangrove ecosystems, especially on the Seruyan coastal area, are at a severe and critical stage. The mandate from Head of Seruyan District in restoring mangroves, is that it will not go well without the support and participation of the community and the institutions that must care about mangrove restoration. We must succeed in this activity and hope we will improve it in the future."

Not to mention that the loss of this rich ecosystem means a loss in the natural resources that support livelihoods of community people.
This replanting effort is expected to have a broad ecological impact on the environment and on the economic status of the surrounding communities.
"Now there is a special group that restores the beach with mangrove planting activities that help in preventing abrasion," said The Head of Sungai Undang Village Eka Puspita Sari proudly.
In addition, this activity also provides opportunities to increase revenue from the construction of permeable dams, collecting seeds, filling polybags, nurseries, planting, monitoring and maintenance.
Community women are also able to generate an income by making "bronjong", large natural cages that protect the planted seedlings.
Bronjongs are made of split bamboo, 30 cm in diameter and 60-70cm high. The bamboo is bound together to form baskets which are filled with silt and the young seedlings are planted inside. The plants attach themselves firmly in the baskets which help them withstand the crashing waves. Using this method means that the seedlings are also not easily uprooted and have a greater chance of survival.
"Small but important, activities such as planting trees around the house or through tree adoption programs, are small steps that can have a large impact on the sustainability of life. The mangrove planting program in Seruyan, is expected to be one of the most impactful contributions we can make in mitigating the climate crisis," said Rimba Raya Executive Director Sylviana (Sylvi) Andhella.
The pace of climate change can be slowed by continuing to collaborate with all parties in designing sustainable-environmentally friendly-programs.
The challenges of replanting during this pandemic can be overcome by strictly following the arranged schedule, ensuring that tasks are evenly distributed and also by complying with the health protocols suggested by the government. The restrictions did not dampen the spirit of all teams involved in our mangrove ecosystem restoration efforts in Seruyan District, Central Kalimantan.
Head of the Environment Office of Seruyan Regency, Priyo Widagdo representing Head of Seruyan District said, "Seruyan District supports and really appreciates this restoration activity as mangrove ecosystems, especially on the Seruyan coastal area, are at a severe and critical stage. The mandate from Head of Seruyan District in restoring mangroves, is that it will not go well without the support and participation of the community and the institutions that must care about mangrove restoration. We must succeed in this activity and hope we will improve it in the future."

Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Collaborates to Restore Mangrove Forests in Seruyan
|
There is so much we can do to help prevent further destruction. Mangrove ecosystem rehabilitation is something we feel can have an enormous impact on the environment and the people who depend on the health of the sea. Not only does this kind of forest store more carbon than normal forests, but it also protects a marine habitat that is vital to the oceans and the communities who live off the sea. The carbon in a mangrove forest is also called 'blue carbon'.
The main challenge faced by mangrove ecosystems is that they are dwindling, this is a result of their destruction due to land development and community fish breeding ponds where the natural rhythms of nature are not respected. Population growth, especially in coastal areas, has resulted in changes in land use and excessive utilization of natural resources, thus mangrove forests have quickly diminished or have been severely damaged.
Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve, Tanjung Puting National Park and Seruyan District Government are in collaboration with the community in replanting 30,000 mangrove seedlings (Rhyzophora sp) in Tanjung Siamuk Beach, Sungai Undang Village, Seruyan District. The planting ceremony was held on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.
"Sungai Undang village was chosen because 80% of the people are fishermen as well as fishpond farmers. The problem with fishponds has become critical in that it has led to mangrove forest destruction," said Budi Suriansyah, Head of Management Section II of Tanjung Puting National Park who was directly involved in our mangrove recovery initiative.
The process of restoring mangrove ecosystems by involving the community has become especially important, it gives us an opportunity to build awareness of the value in maintaining the balance of the natural environment. Gerakan Masyarakat Bersatu, the local community group of Sungai Undang Village, was formed to create mangrove nurseries and conduct the necessary planting and monitoring. It is important that this type of initiative is managed in a sustainable way as this will ensure its success.
"Community involvement starts from designing, implementing, evaluating, and finding solutions. It is hoped that this process will increase the confidence and responsibility of community members and show that together we should be able to overcome some of the most important environmental problems," Murlan Dameria Pane, Head of Tanjung Puting National Park said.
Chairman of Gerakan Masyarakat Bersatu Sungai Undang Village, Agung Yulianto at the planting site stated, "Some people still look at this planting activity solely as a means of income, however a side effect of this initiative is that it is helping to develop a sense of ownership and a desire to preserve the biodiversity in our homeland."
The Seruyan mangrove forest area is located in Seruyan Hilir and Seruyan Hilir Timur sub-districts, which is just South of the working area of Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve and Tanjung Puting National Park. The loss of mangrove forest density in the Seruyan has become the main concern for all parties who have collaborated in this program, because if left alone, the result will be devastating.

富士通など、組合員のサービス向上と業務効率化の実現に向け東海地区の生活協同組合の加入業務をデジタル化
本システムは、新規組合員向けの加入受付に専用タブレットを活用し、入力データを組合員管理システムなどの基幹システムへ自動で保存するシステムです。手書き文字をAIで認識する機能により、加入受付タブレットに手書きで記入した氏名や住所などの情報をテキスト化して全ての加入申込書に反映することができるため、新規組合員の加入手続きにかかる時間を短縮することが可能です。また、加入情報をすべてデジタル化することで、膨大な加入申込書の入力業務を無くすことや年間約10万枚の紙コストの削減、保管スペースの削減、検索の効率化を実現します。さらに、配達員の持つ宅配業務用スマートフォンとも連携することで、配達員がタイムリーに組合員の情報を共有し、組合員のライフスタイルに合わせたきめ細やかな宅配サービスを提供することが可能となります。
富士通は、今後も東海コープおよび各生協とともに、組合員とのニューノーマル時代に合ったコミュニケーション手段を構築し、東海コープのデジタルトランスフォーメーションの加速を支援していきます。
背景
全国の生活協同組合において、デジタルでの各種申請が進む一方で、新規加入手続きは、紙による運用が一般的で、印刷や登録、ファイリングといった業務の効率化や紙コストの削減が喫緊の課題となっています。また、新規組合員にとっても、紙での申請は複数の用紙に同じ情報を何度も記入する必要があり、手間となっていました。さらに、個人情報の記載された加入申込書は、セキュアな取り扱いが求められています。
新規組合員加入システムの概要
東海コープにおいて、新規組合員の加入手続きの簡素化・時間短縮や職員の後方事務作業の効率化、個人情報の記載された紙の削減に向け、新規組合員加入システムを導入します。
1. 手書き文字入力による加入手続き時間短縮
現在、新規加入の際には、加入申込書、口座登録用紙、配達料一部免除の用紙など複数の帳票に記入する必要があり、新規組合員にとっては氏名・住所などを何度も記入することが手間となっています。手書き文字をAIで認識する機能を加入受付タブレットに採用することで、手書き文字をそのままテキスト化することに加え、氏名・住所をタブレット上に一度記入するだけで、全ての加入申込書に反映可能となり、手続きにかかる時間を大幅に短縮します。また、入力者の都合に合わせることのできるシステムフローや、見やすいデザインによって入力のしやすさに徹底的に配慮し、分かりやすくスムーズな加入手続きを支援します。
2. 組合員管理システムとの連携により加入にかかる作業負荷の削減と個人情報のセキュアな取り扱い
これまで加入受付担当者や後方事務作業員は、新規組合員が紙に記載した内容を事務センターで入力する必要がありました。また、システム登録後も紙を保管する必要があり、転記およびファイリングの業務負荷が高くなっています。本システムでは、加入情報を加入受付タブレットに入力することですべてデジタル化し、組合員管理システムへ自動でデータ保存することにより、登録業務の負荷軽減と登録業務品質およびスピードの向上を実現し、全体で約3割の作業効率化を目指します。また、紙文書でのやり取りを電子データに置き換えることで、個人情報を含んだ紙をセキュアに取り扱うことが可能です。
3. 宅配業務用スマートフォンとの連携によるきめ細やかなサービス提供
新規加入の際に組合員からヒアリングした内容、例えば配達時にチャイムを鳴らす、注文品の置き場所リクエストなどの要望を加入受付タブレットに入力します。その情報を配達担当者の宅配業務用スマートフォンへタイムリーに連携し、組合員のライフスタイルにあわせたきめ細やかな宅配サービスの提供を実現します。
1,500台を超えるタブレットおよびスマートフォンの展開には、富士通のパートナーである扶桑電通株式会社（注6）と連携します。
今後について
東海コープは今後さらなる機能強化を検討し、宅配だけでなく、複数名で構成するグループ配達への導入や新規のグループ登録などにも対応していくことを目指します。富士通は、今後も東海コープおよび各生協とともにニューノーマル時代に合った組合員とのコミュニケーション手段を構築し、東海コープのデジタルトランスフォーメーションの加速を支援していきます。

富士通研究所、様々なタスクにおける人の集中度を定量的に推定可能な汎用AIモデルを開発
従来、AIを活用して集中度を定量化するモデルは、e-learningなど特定のタスクを実行している人の表情や振る舞いを学習することにより作成していました。しかし、表情や振る舞いは、従事するタスクや人がそれぞれに育った文化的背景に依存して異なるため、作成したモデルは個別のモデルとならざるを得ず、様々な場面に応じて個別にAIモデルを開発しなければならないことが課題でした。
今回、当社は、表情筋に対応した顔面の各部位の動作単位であるAction Unit（注2）を世界一の精度で検出する独自の技術（注3）を活用して、口元に力が入るなど数秒程度の短期間の変化や、目を凝らして一心不乱に見つめているなど数十秒にわたる長期間の変化をAction Unitごとに最適化された時間単位で捉えることで、集中、非集中状態の違いを、それぞれの文化的背景の影響を受けにくい共通の特徴として抽出することに成功しました。さらに、タスク固有の振る舞いが生じないように設計された探索や記憶を行う課題を、日本に加え、多様な地域の人のデータ収集が可能な米国および中国の延べ650人で実施し、機械学習用のデータセットとして構築することで、特定のタスクに依存しない、汎用的な集中度推定AIモデルを開発しました。この集中状態のデータセットを用いて本モデルの有効性を検証したところ、85%を超える高い精度で集中度を定量的に推定できることを確認しました。
本技術により、コロナ禍でグローバルに利用が拡大するオンラインの授業や営業活動などの各種オンラインサービスにおいて、デジタル化された参加者の集中状態のデータを活用したAIの支援により、オンラインで取り組む人のタスクや業務の効率化、生産性の向上が可能になります。
開発の背景
近年、ニューノーマルな社会において、教育や企業の現場では、授業や会議、営業活動など、様々な場面でのオンライン化が急速かつグローバルに拡大しています。
従来、対面の場では、集中を欠いた生徒への声掛けや、上の空で聞いている相手への話題転換といった、相手の集中力を引き戻すサポートが行われていましたが、オンラインの場では、離れた場所にいる相手の様子を把握することは難しく、これまで行われていた適切なサポートが困難となっています。特に、作業に対する集中度は、パフォーマンスを左右する重要な要素であり、オンラインで取り組むタスクや業務の生産性向上の手段として、集中力の維持と向上を図る適切な支援が行えるよう、集中状態を定量的に推定できるAIモデルの開発が期待されています。
課題
AIで集中度を推定する一般的な方法として、人の表情や振る舞いから予測する方法がありますが、人の表情は、それぞれが育った文化的背景により違いがあると言われており、振る舞いは、e-learningなど特定のタスクに大きく依存します。そのため、この方法では、タスクや対象とする人の文化的背景に特化した学習が行われるため、それらが変わるごとに個別にAIモデルを開発する必要がありました。
また、人が集中してタスクを実行しているときは、顔が強張る、目を凝らすなど顔面の状態に微小な変化が生じます。これらの変化は、人類共通に適用できる概念として提唱されているAction Unitを活用することで、原理的には振る舞いや文化的背景の違いによらず検出できます。しかし、集中時、非集中時の微小な顔面状態の違いをカメラで撮影した顔の動画データから捉えようとすると、例えば、Action Unitの動きで出来たしわと年齢によるしわとの区別が必要になるなど、Action Unit自体の精度の向上が課題となります。
開発した技術
今回、当社は、Action Unitを世界一の精度で検出する独自の技術を活用して、特定のタスクや文化的背景に依存せずに、人の集中度を定量化できるAIモデルを開発しました。
表情筋の動きの強さが異なるペア画像を学習させる方式で、表情筋の相対的な変化を的確に学習させる独自のAction Unit検出技術を活用し、口元に力が入るなど数秒程度の短期間の変化や、目を凝らして一心不乱に見つめているなど数十秒にわたる長期間の変化をAction Unitごとに最適化された時間単位で捉えます。そして、統合的に集中度を推定する新たな方式により、文化的背景に依存しない高精度な集中度推定AIモデルを開発しました（図1）。
さらに、人の集中状態の教師データを収集する際に、タスク固有の振る舞いが生じないように設計された探索や記憶を行う課題などの作業を、日米中の延べ650人で実施した結果をデータセットとして構築し、本データセットを用いて学習させることにより、特定のタスクに依存しない、汎用的な集中度推定AIモデルの作成に成功しました。
本AIモデルにより、e-learningでの集中度やデスクワークへの没入状態、工場の組み立て作業の集中度合いなど、様々なタスクにおける集中、非集中の状態を、0.0（非集中）～1.0（集中度最高）の数値で定量的に示すことができます（図2）。
効果
AIモデルの汎用性を検証するために、日本に加え、多様な地域のデータ収集が可能な米国および中国において、延べ650人の検証用データセットを構築しました。今回開発した集中度を推定するAIモデルを用いて、各国の被験者の集中度を推定したところ、いずれも85%以上の精度で集中度を推定することができました。この結果は、e-learningに対する生徒の集中度合いを定量化する最新の国際学会の結果と比較しても、同等以上の高い精度を実現しており、本方式が文化的背景の違いに対して有効に機能していることを確認しました。
また、開発したAIモデルを、ドライブシミュレーターによる運転の様子を収録した、集中状態と眠気による非集中状態が混在するデータで推定したところ、NEDO眠気指標（注4）に基づいてラベル付けした正解データに対して高い相関を示し、眠気による集中度低下を推定できていることが確認できました。これにより、本AIモデルが学習を行っていない異なるタスクへも適用可能なことを確認しました。
今後
今後、当社は、ニューノーマルな社会においてグローバルに拡大するオンライン授業やオンライン会議、営業活動などの様々なサービスへの本技術の適用拡大に向けて、AI倫理の観点も踏まえて検証をさらに進めるとともに、AI集中度推定モデルの実用化を目指し実証を進めます。

PREFABRICATED BUILDINGS AN INEVITABLE CHOICE AMID POTENTIAL INDUSTRY BOOM
In recent years, the state issued relevant policies to vigorously guide and motivate the development of prefabricated construction industry. The "13th Five-Year Plan of Action for Prefabricated Buildings" of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development clearly stipulates that the proportion of prefabricated buildings in new buildings should reach 25% by 2023 and 30% by 2025. The prefabricated building industry will embrace explosive growth.
Policies regarding China's fabricated buildings were first introduced in 2016. Although the industry grew at a CAGR of 55% in recent four years, the penetration rate of fabricated buildings in China in 2019 was only 13%. According to Frost & Sullivan, the domestic market scale of PC unit manufacturing business will reach RMB65.4 billion in 2020 and RMB285.5 billion in 2024, with a CAGR of 44.5%. Compared with the traditional cast-in-place construction method, the prefabricated building is energy-saving and environment-friendly, which may shorten the construction period by 45% and save manpower by 75%. Looking into future, due to the disappearing demographic dividend, high labor cost and limited capacity of resources and environment, prefabricated building materials will be an inevitable choice for the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry. With the improvement of penetration, this industry is expected to usher in a trillion-level "blue ocean" market. From 2014 to 2024, the domestic market scale of PC units for prefabricated buildings is estimated to record a year-on-year increase of 680 times, promising great potential. (Picture 4)
It is fair to say that in the next few years, the domestic prefabricated industry will enjoy a boom, and Broad Homes will also usher in an obvious turning point in profit. Three advantages will facilitate it to tap on the scale advantages 1) Broad Homes has established factories in Hunan, Tianjin, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, which are the key areas for promotion of the prefabricated buildings, and 62 Joint Factories it contributed to span across the nation, which is expected to increase the capacity utilization rate of Broad Homes in the market boom; 2) the two design software of Broad Homes, being PC Maker I and PC-CPS, the intelligent manufacturing management system, empower the development of the industrial chain through digital management, resulting in per capita production efficiency far exceeding peers, and enjoy popularity among customers; 3) Broad Homes boasts eight generations of prefabricated building product system and experience accumulated in industrial projects of over 100 million square metres, positioning it in a very favorable position to seize the huge blue ocean market in the future.
INTENSIFY LEADING POSITION THROUGH DUAL-DRIVER STRATEGY TRANSFORMATION AND PROPOSED INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF A SHARES
At the beginning of 2020, Broad Homes categorized its business into two major sectors, being B2B and B2C, in which B2C represents the B-house business charged by the Module Integration Technology Division, and the new product B-BOX business will also be launched. In the B2C field, B-house products primarily target C-end consumers and country villa market, and seven standardized products have been offered. In the first half of last year, it commenced to take orders for country villas.
It is reported that the self-built housing in rural areas and approximate to cities in China covers an area of over 1.3 billion square meters, and it is estimated that there will be more than 2.2 million new rural houses each year, implying great market potential for rural construction. Since the beginning of 2019, policies on rural residential pilot projects, marketing of collective management of construction land and decentralization of land use approval authority have been successively rolled out. Therefore, TF Securities pointed out in its research report that To C business will generate new growth driver for Broad Homes, and it is predicted that the scale of To C business (excluding B-BOX) of Broad Homes will reach RMB5.25 billion in the next three years, thereby contributing to considerable performance growth.
Besides, Broad Homes proposed to apply for initial public offering of A shares and listing the same on ChiNext of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, to further enhance its capital strength. No more than 86.054 million shares will be allotted and issued under this IPO exercise, and the proceeds raised will be applied in six fields, including Broad Homes CPS Henan Research, Development and Production Headquarter Base Project, The First Phase of Assembly PC Factory Construction Project of Broad Homes Weifang Direct Company, Broad Homes Smart Site Research and Development Project, Broad Homes Mansion Exhibition Center Project, B-BOX Modularized Building Production Line Technology Renovation Project and supplementing of Working Capital, with an investment amount of approximately RMB1.879 billion. In particular, Broad Homes CPS Henan Research, Development and Production Headquarter Base Project and The First Phase of Assembly PC Factory Construction Project of Broad Homes Weifang Direct Company will increase the PC units production capacity of Broad Homes by 240,000 cubic meters, upon which, total production capacity of wholly-owned factories will reach over 2 million cubic meters. As such, Broad Homes is expected to consolidate its leading position and promises great growth potential in the mid- and long-term.
According to Frost & Sullivan, in terms of the revenue in 2019, Broad Homes is the largest domestic PC unit manufacturer, with a market share of 13.5%, and also the largest domestic PC equipment manufacturer in China, with a market share of 38.3%.
Looking into future, with the relief and even disappearance of the COVID-19 pandemic, Broad Homes will continue to consolidate its leading position through data-driven and dual-diver strategy transformation and A-share listing, and share the dividend of rapid growth of the industry with shareholders and investors.

In 2020, despite the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic, the PC unit manufacturing business, the core principal business of Broad Homes, secured sound growth with new contract amount of RMB4.091 billion, a year-on-year increase of 31.7%, and contract amount secured yet to complete of RMB5.196 billion, a year-on-year increase of 38.6%. Sufficient new orders and backlog paved the way for Broad Homes in 2021.
With the relief of the pandemic, the revenue of PC equipment manufacturing business of Broad Homes will pick up. Upon completion of reform of the remaining joint factories and leveraging potent demand, the overall performance of Broad Homes will steer into a normalized growth track.
PREFABRICATED BUILDINGS AN INEVITABLE CHOICE AMID POTENTIAL INDUSTRY BOOM
In recent years, the state issued relevant policies to vigorously guide and motivate the development of prefabricated construction industry. The "13th Five-Year Plan of Action for Prefabricated Buildings" of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development clearly stipulates that the proportion of prefabricated buildings in new buildings should reach 25% by 2023 and 30% by 2025. The prefabricated building industry will embrace explosive growth.
Policies regarding China's fabricated buildings were first introduced in 2016. Although the industry grew at a CAGR of 55% in recent four years, the penetration rate of fabricated buildings in China in 2019 was only 13%. According to Frost & Sullivan, the domestic market scale of PC unit manufacturing business will reach RMB65.4 billion in 2020 and RMB285.5 billion in 2024, with a CAGR of 44.5%. Compared with the traditional cast-in-place construction method, the prefabricated building is energy-saving and environment-friendly, which may shorten the construction period by 45% and save manpower by 75%. Looking into future, due to the disappearing demographic dividend, high labor cost and limited capacity of resources and environment, prefabricated building materials will be an inevitable choice for the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry. With the improvement of penetration, this industry is expected to usher in a trillion-level "blue ocean" market. From 2014 to 2024, the domestic market scale of PC units for prefabricated buildings is estimated to record a year-on-year increase of 680 times, promising great potential. (Picture 4)
It is fair to say that in the next few years, the domestic prefabricated industry will enjoy a boom, and Broad Homes will also usher in an obvious turning point in profit. Three advantages will facilitate it to tap on the scale advantages 1) Broad Homes has established factories in Hunan, Tianjin, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, which are the key areas for promotion of the prefabricated buildings, and 62 Joint Factories it contributed to span across the nation, which is expected to increase the capacity utilization rate of Broad Homes in the market boom; 2) the two design software of Broad Homes, being PC Maker I and PC-CPS, the intelligent manufacturing management system, empower the development of the industrial chain through digital management, resulting in per capita production efficiency far exceeding peers, and enjoy popularity among customers; 3) Broad Homes boasts eight generations of prefabricated building product system and experience accumulated in industrial projects of over 100 million square metres, positioning it in a very favorable position to seize the huge blue ocean market in the future.
INTENSIFY LEADING POSITION THROUGH DUAL-DRIVER STRATEGY TRANSFORMATION AND PROPOSED INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF A SHARES
At the beginning of 2020, Broad Homes categorized its business into two major sectors, being B2B and B2C, in which B2C represents the B-house business charged by the Module Integration Technology Division, and the new product B-BOX business will also be launched. In the B2C field, B-house products primarily target C-end consumers and country villa market, and seven standardized products have been offered. In the first half of last year, it commenced to take orders for country villas.
It is reported that the self-built housing in rural areas and approximate to cities in China covers an area of over 1.3 billion square meters, and it is estimated that there will be more than 2.2 million new rural houses each year, implying great market potential for rural construction. Since the beginning of 2019, policies on rural residential pilot projects, marketing of collective management of construction land and decentralization of land use approval authority have been successively rolled out. Therefore, TF Securities pointed out in its research report that To C business will generate new growth driver for Broad Homes, and it is predicted that the scale of To C business (excluding B-BOX) of Broad Homes will reach RMB5.25 billion in the next three years, thereby contributing to considerable performance growth.
Besides, Broad Homes proposed to apply for initial public offering of A shares and listing the same on ChiNext of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, to further enhance its capital strength. No more than 86.054 million shares will be allotted and issued under this IPO exercise, and the proceeds raised will be applied in six fields, including Broad Homes CPS Henan Research, Development and Production Headquarter Base Project, The First Phase of Assembly PC Factory Construction Project of Broad Homes Weifang Direct Company, Broad Homes Smart Site Research and Development Project, Broad Homes Mansion Exhibition Center Project, B-BOX Modularized Building Production Line Technology Renovation Project and supplementing of Working Capital, with an investment amount of approximately RMB1.879 billion. In particular, Broad Homes CPS Henan Research, Development and Production Headquarter Base Project and The First Phase of Assembly PC Factory Construction Project of Broad Homes Weifang Direct Company will increase the PC units production capacity of Broad Homes by 240,000 cubic meters, upon which, total production capacity of wholly-owned factories will reach over 2 million cubic meters. As such, Broad Homes is expected to consolidate its leading position and promises great growth potential in the mid- and long-term.
According to Frost & Sullivan, in terms of the revenue in 2019, Broad Homes is the largest domestic PC unit manufacturer, with a market share of 13.5%, and also the largest domestic PC equipment manufacturer in China, with a market share of 38.3%.
Looking into future, with the relief and even disappearance of the COVID-19 pandemic, Broad Homes will continue to consolidate its leading position through data-driven and dual-diver strategy transformation and A-share listing, and share the dividend of rapid growth of the industry with shareholders and investors.

Venture Capitalist Ng You Zhi Seeks to Invest in Luxury Car Dealership Startups
SINGAPORE, Feb 26, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - With the city-state slowly but surely returning back to normal, business visionary Ng You Zhi takes on a new investment adventure, this time on the luxury car industry.
"There's no stopping the luxury car market from growing," he says in a recent interview. "The pandemic has made us realise the salience of investing in things that matter, and that includes investing in ventures that continue to rise in market value."
According to a report published by Fortune Business Insights, titled "Luxury Car Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis," the global luxury cars market size is projected to reach USD 655 billion by the end of 2027. "The rising disposable income across the world will contribute to the growth of the market in the coming years."
Why invest in luxury car dealership startups
"I am an avid fan of luxury cars," Ng You Zhi admits to even owning two in his garage. "But more than celebrating my passion, luxury cars have grown in demand over the recent years, but dealerships are only reserved to a limited few. With dealership start-ups growing in Singapore, they need not just capital to expand their business, but to establish a level of trust by having a known investor by their side. It's really more of building trust in the market."
A luxury car provides more than just the basics of owned transportation; it is a symbol of class, wealth and comfort especially in Singapore. A luxury car offers improved level of interior, comfort, and performance. The increasing disposable income in various countries across the globe has given the platform for luxury car dealerships to operate in this specific niche market.
Ng You Zhi also sees through the increasing investments in luxury cars, which can be attributed to several reasons, such as the yearning for comfort and quality. Also, the presence of large-scale luxury cars is growing at a fast right, to cater to the expanding market that may continue to further widen in the coming years.
According to Ng You Zhi, companies such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz have drastically altered the global luxury car market. These companies account for the greatest market share. At the same time, the continuously growing demand for luxury cars across the world is making a significant impact on the global automobile market not only at present, but in the years to come.

Moonstake Wallet Now Supports Staking of Centrality's CENNZ
 |
Now Moonstake's wallet users can hold, send and receive CENNZ and are able to stake through the Moonstake wallet and receive CPAY as staking rewards with one simple click with the best user experience. After Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras and Centrality became the 10th available staking coin on Moonstake Wallet.
Moonstake wallet provides 3 CENNZ staking validator options for users with an average commission fee of 5%. To celebrate our milestone as the world's first wallet to support staking of CENNZ, one of the 3 validators will offer zero-staking fee for the first 3 months from today until 31st of May so that CENNZ holders can enjoy free staking on Moonstake wallet.
Moonstake started in the staking business last year with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, Moonstake has developed the most user-friendly wallets for both Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS/Android) that are compatible with over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake's total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach USD 600 Million in staked assets in 6 months.
Moonstake and Centrality entered into a strategic partnership in August last year. Aaron McDonald, CEO of Centrality has joined Moonstake as an advisor and both parties are actively developing for the implementation of CENNZ (Centrality's token) through Moonstake staking platform. During a joint webinar last year, both parties shared details about the progress of the partnership and product development, including an announcement regarding the launch of CENNZ staking on Moonstake. Based on joint marketing and technical collaboration, Moonstake Wallet achieved another milestone as a world's first wallet to support CENNZ and CPAY enabling users to send, receive, and hold ERC-20 based CENNZ and CPAY tokens and the world's first wallet to support staking for CENNZ.
How to stake CENNZ on MS Wallet
Here's a simple 4-step process to stake CENNZ with Moonstake Wallet:
1. Register your Moonstake Web wallet (https://wallet.moonstake.io)
2. Deposit 10,000 CENNZ and an appropriate amount of CPAY to your Moonstake wallet. (10,000 CENNZ is the minimum amount required to stake)
3. From the wallet screen, select CENNZ and click the "Stake Now" button.
*If CENNZ and CPAY are not displayed, click on the + button on the right to add them.
4. Confirm the staking information, then click the "Staking" button and enter your wallet password.
*Once the staking operation is completed, the amount of CENNZ will be displayed in the column Staking.
How CENNZ Staking Works
A minimum threshold amount of 10,000 CENNZ needs to be locked in and stake for both nominators or validators. To stake CENNZ with Moonstake wallet, you need to be a "Nominator" and select a "Validator". Up to 16 or more validators can be selected. If the chosen Validator is elected and performs their duties correctly, Nominators receive a portion of their resulting CPAY reward.
*Nominators are CENNZ token holders who stake a portion of their CENNZ behind a Validator.
*Validators are node operators who each store a copy of the blockchain and must perform certain functions to keep the system secure.
How to get Rewards of CENNZ staking
The APY (Staking Reward Rate) BASE rate for CENNZ will initially start at a minimum of 8-10% APY in CPAY. This can increase based on network activity. You will receive a staking reward approximately every 24 hours.
For example, if you stake 10,000 CENNZ, you will receive 800 - 1,000 CENNZ worth of CPAY per year, which will be divided and distributed as a reward.
How CENNZ unstaking works
There is an unbonding period when you unstake CENNZ, which serves as a cooldown. This period will take 28 days on CENNZnet and your CENNZ will be locked. After 28 days, you can redeem your CENNZ and start to use or transfer them. During the unbonding period, you will not receive any staking rewards.
Mitsuru Tezuka, Founder at Moonstake says: "Moonstake is pleased to be the world's first wallet to support staking of CENNZ and the first validator for CENNZnet. We completed API connection for CENNZ staking to provide extensive support for the CENNZ community. With this collaboration, Moonstake and Centrality will continue to accelerate the strong growth of the staking ecosystem while providing the best staking service for CENNZ."
Aaron McDonald, CEO at Centrality says: "Centrality is on a mission to bring decentralised technology to consumer mass markets and Moonstake will help us do just that. E-wallet is the most convenient and friendly solution for modern day money management, in both the real world and the crypto world. Making the crypto usage experience seamless while still fully secure to mass consumers is what Moonstake excels at and we're happy to bring about CENNZ staking on this leading staking platform."
The global staking market capitalization has grown exponentially over the last year from $10 billion to $133 billion. During this period, Moonstake has also become part of the top 10 staking providers in the world in terms of total staking value and is continuing to expand non-stop. Through CENNZ's staking, we are committed to providing more people in the world with valuable staking opportunities at their convenience and contributing to the development of the blockchain industry.
About Moonstake
Moonstake was recently established to develop a staking pool protocol to satisfy increasing demands in regional and global blockchain markets. Moonstake develops a staking pool protocol and provides business services through partners and companies.
Moonstake aims to be the largest staking pool network in Asia by providing an active environment for crypto asset holders. Establishing a clear partnership roadmap with Moonstake represents another significant milestone for continuing to strengthen ties with leading platforms across Asia's burgeoning Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) ecosystem. Partnership has been announced with Emurgo, Ontology and NEO to boost staking adoption, Binarystar, Japan's biggest blockchain hub, OIO Holdings Limited (SGX: OIO), a Singapore Catalist-Listed company. Industry's reputed advisors, such as Lisk and Lawrence Lim of RAMP DEFI support Moonstake's innovative journey.
With a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, we expanded our business and as of now, our total staking assets exceeded over USD 600 Million. https://www.moonstake.io/
