Group 1: Legislative Actions - The proposed rescissions package requires only a simple majority to pass in the Republican-controlled Congress [1]. - Republican leaders, including Mike Johnson, are pushing to expedite the vote on the rescissions package, claiming it reflects the achievements of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) [1][2].

不仅个人幸福感提升，大多数岗位的生产效率也并没有受到影响，有的反而还提高了。参与者表示，减少的工作 时间使他们能够专注于锻炼和社交，从而提高了他们的工作表现。 随后，越来越多的国家加入了这一趋势。爱尔兰于2022年开启了为期六个月的每周工作四天制度试验；西班牙也 启动了为期三年的32小时工作周试验，作为该国从疫情中经济复苏的一部分。 高强度、长时间的工作压力，会给一个人带来多大的精神负担？ 英国哲学家罗素说："拼命工作是奴隶的道德，现代社会不需要奴隶制。"他强烈反对现代社会人们的超负荷工 作，甚至建议"将工作时间缩短为4小时，一切都会好起来"。 很遗憾，我们没有找到直接的心理学研究证据可以明确支持这一观点。但好消息是，找到了许多"平替"：一些确 凿的证据表明，我们可能真的不需要那么多的时间来工作。 今天我们就来聊聊：工作时间的变化会对我们的心理健康产生怎样的影响？从有益于心理健康的角度，一周工作 多少时间是最佳的？ 我们发现了这4件事情。 一周只上4天班，大多数人都会更快乐 在一些发达国家，减少一周工作时间的尝试已经开始。 早在2021年，冰岛就开启了"一周工作4天"的大型试验。超过2，500名员工在2015 ...

同时，李斌给出蔚来四季度盈利路线图。 文 丨 赵宇 编辑 丨 龚方毅 今年四季度盈利是当前蔚来全公司都在为之努力的目标。上周，蔚来创始人兼 CEO 李斌还在一场 "斌 哥面对面" 用户交流活动上说，蔚来能够、也必须在今年四季度实现盈利。 今晚的业绩会上，李斌谈了蔚来怎么在四季度盈利："三个品牌合计月销量达 5 万辆以上，同时将毛 利率控制在 17% 至 18%、销售管理费用率 10% 左右、研发费用率 6% 至 7%。" 他安抚投资人蔚来曾 在 2021 年实现过 20% 以上的毛利率，过去几年是高投入期，今年二季度进入收获期。 但如果不能盈利，按照李斌上周的说法，"三个品牌都已经发布，主力车型也已完成更新或迭代，最新 的芯片、操作系统等技术也已上车。如果到四季度，在所有这些举措都推出后仍然无法实现盈利，那 和去年没有盈利完全不一样。" 悬念又回来了。 今年一季度，蔚来的汽车毛利率环比降低 2.9 个百分点、至 10.2%，整体毛利率则是 7.6%。研发费用 率是 26.4%。 李斌在业绩会上对于毛利率的问题解释说，由于前期存在清库和促销活动（压低了售价、影响了毛利 率），实际上二季度蔚来新车的平均售价已经提 ...

化工历史发展对工业进步至关重要，促成了各种化学品、材料和产品的商业化生产。然而，目前的化 学生产过程严重依赖化石资源，导致二氧化碳排放激增、资源枯竭等问题。 近年来，以合成生物驱动的生物制造快速发展，赋能各行业转型升级。作为一种新型制造范式，生物 制造不仅为解决资源、能源、环境等全球性挑战提供了新思路，也为人类健康、材料创新等领域带来 了革命性机遇。 生物制造是以微生物细胞或以酶蛋白为催化剂进行化学品合成、或以生物质为原料转化合成能源化学 品与材料，促使能源与化学品脱离石油化学工业路线的新模式。 当前，C1 底物已成为生物制造领 域的首选原料，因其天然丰富、成本效益高以及减少气候变化影响的潜力而备受关注 。 【SynBioCon】 获悉，近日， 北京化工大学谭天伟、中国科学院大连化学物理研究所周雍进、西 安交通大学费强等 人合作综述了 C1 生物制造商业化面临的关键经济和技术障碍 ；此外，还揭示了 提升成本竞争力的可行路线图，强调了其作为传统化学生产的可扩展且可持续的替代方案，在促进碳 中和方面具有的潜力。 图 | 从化学合成到生物制造的转变 1、注重碳转化效率提升 C1 生物制造利用 CO₂、CO、CH₄ ...
