written by Priya Shah – Business Editor

Jakarta – Despite a market downturn today, Friday, October 17, 2025, IndonesiaS Minister of ‍Finance, Purba Yudhi Sadewa, expressed strong confidence in the nation’s economic trajectory, predicting the Composite Stock⁤ Price Index (IHSG) could reach⁤ 9,000 by year-end.The IHSG closed⁣ at 7,915,down 20.91 points (2.57%) today.

Looking further ahead, Sadewa projected an even more substantial rise,⁣ forecasting the IHSG‌ to reach⁢ 35,000 by‌ 2035, ‍contingent on ⁢the ⁢continued success of ⁢current ‍programs. “As I said earlier, if I can maintain this, really expand it to 10⁤ years, 8 years from now, 2030, it will⁤ be different.‍ It could‌ be 4 times, 5⁤ times from now, ⁣from 7 thousand. So people say⁢ it’s above 35,000 or around there. But⁤ we’ll see, ⁤if I don’t get fired, okay,”‍ he added.

The Minister also viewed‍ the current decline in the JCI as⁣ a favorable possibility for investors. “I think like ⁤this, what you see is what the economic foundation will be like in the ⁢future.

The Global Impact of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and Power Shifts

The Wall Street Journal reported that the war between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas may spread across the region and also affect the international balance of power. The United States and Europe are diversifying their resources while the war between Russia and Ukraine is still ongoing, while China and Russia are working together with Palestine to reap the benefits.

The report wrote that the long-term effects of the renewed war in the Middle East are unpredictable, and it first depends on whether Israel can achieve its goal of annihilating Hamas.

Another key question is whether Israel’s diplomatic relations in the region and the international standing of its Western backers can survive the major test of increased civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip and street fighting in densely populated areas.

Hamas raided several Israeli villages and towns on the 7th, killing at least 1,400 people, mostly unarmed civilians. Israel subsequently violently bombed the Gaza corridor controlled by Hamas, killing at least 2,750 Palestinians. The Israeli ground attack was imminent, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza intensified.

The report pointed out that China, Russia and Iran have long wanted to undermine the international system backed by the United States. Now that the United States is distracted by the war in the Middle East, these countries are seizing the opportunity and have their own plans.

Former Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb said that this is part of the reshuffling of the world order. “Once the United States leaves a power vacuum, others will inevitably fill the vacuum.”

After the Israeli-Palestinian conflict resumed, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to many countries in the Middle East, and the U.S. military sent two aircraft carrier strike groups to the eastern Mediterranean to strengthen deterrence. The report said that Washington used this to show that the United States was an indispensable partner for Israel and key Arab countries. The relevant actions received cross-party support and slightly diluted the increasingly strong isolationist sentiment in recent years.

At the same time, pressure on Russia over its failure to fight in Ukraine eased, and Moscow in turn accused Western governments of hypocrisy.

According to Ukraine, tens of thousands of civilians were killed by Russian troops during the months-long siege of Mariupol last year. Russian President Vladimir Putin compared Israel’s siege of Gaza to the situation in his hometown of St. Petersburg that was under siege during World War II, implying that Israel is no different than a Nazi. Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once had a warm relationship, but now they have drawn a clear line, reflecting Russia’s desire to position itself as a vanguard against Western “neo-colonialism.”

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said any conflict that takes the focus away from Ukraine would benefit Russia. The longer the Israeli-Palestinian conflict lasts, the more Russia will be able to strengthen its argument against the Western world and win in terms of tactics and strategies in its war with Ukraine.

It is rare for China to stand on the side of Palestine, and its friendly relations with Israel are on the verge of collapse. When Beijing oppresses the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, it often uses the name of counter-terrorism, but it deliberately avoids using the word “terrorism” when describing Hamas attacks, which greatly disappoints Israel.

When Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi expressed his position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for the first time in Beijing on the 13th, he said that the root of the problem lies in “the historical injustice suffered by the Palestinian people that has not been corrected.”

Many observers believe that China is preparing for a possible future conflict with the United States over Taiwan, and Beijing will benefit from Washington once again being distracted from dealing with Middle East issues.

Antoine Bondaz, a researcher at the French think tank Strategic Research Foundation (FRS), said that China cares about its own interests. For Beijing, the most important thing is Sino-US relations and how China can weaken the strength and image of the United States. China aims to become an alternative to developing countries, projecting a peaceful image and trying to portray the United States as a destabilizing factor.

In March this year, China promoted its influence in the Middle East politics by promoting the restoration of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Now that the risk of regional war has increased, the United States uses shuttle diplomacy and military deployment to prevent the conflict from expanding, while China maintains a low profile.

Gordon Flake, CEO of the Perth USAsia Center, an Australian think tank, said that China regards market access and investment as its main bargaining chips in the Middle East to control economic power, but it does not yet have hard power locally. Therefore, No one looks to China for solutions to the problem.

The World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) announced on the 5th that by 2025, about 18 million vaccines will be provided to 12 African countries. A malaria vaccine.

“Malaria remains one of the deadliest diseases in Africa, killing nearly 550,000 children under the age of five each year,” WHO Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a news conference.

According to statistics, in 2021, 96% of malaria deaths in the world will occur in Africa.

Mosquirix (RTS, S), developed by the British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), has been approved by the World Health Organization as the world’s first malaria vaccine available for children. More than 1.7 million children in three African countries, Ghana, Kenya and Malawi, have been vaccinated with the vaccine as part of a pilot program.

“It has been shown to be safe and effective, with a dramatic reduction in severe malaria cases and a drop in child mortality,” Tedros said.

Nearly 30 African countries have said they want a malaria vaccine.

In addition to the three countries that will continue to be tested, nine other countries will also receive vaccine supplies, WHO, UNICEF and the Vaccine Alliance said in a statement.

The nine countries are Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia ), Niger, Sierra Leone and Uganda.

The first batch of vaccines is expected to arrive in the last quarter of 2023, with administration starting in early 2024.

A second malaria vaccine, R21/Matrix-M, developed by Oxford University and produced by the Serum Institute of India (SII), is “currently undergoing prequalification by WHO,” Tedros said. The purpose of this program is to ensure that health products supplied to low-income countries are safe and effective.

Kate O’Brien, director of WHO’s Vaccines and Immunization Department, said, “It is very important to remember that children are dying of malaria almost every minute… Vaccines are a new tool in the fight against severe disease, death… This is A very important step forward”.

Ryan said the vaccine is “definitely a step in the right direction, and it’s a prelude to many more millions of doses.”

Worldwide demand for malaria vaccines is expected to reach 40 million to 60 million doses per year by 2026 and 80 million to 100 million doses per year by 2030, according to WHO, UNICEF and GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance.

Malaria is a disease that is transmitted to humans through the bite of certain types of mosquitoes. According to the latest WHO data, malaria will kill 619,000 people worldwide in 2021.

Saturn’s Iconic Rings Expected to Disappear Within Hundreds of Millions of Years, New Research Suggests

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com May 25, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Future stargazers may no longer be able to see through a telescope Saturn’s most iconic signature rings, which are mostly made up of crushed ice, according to new research.

NASA’s space probe Cassini orbited the giant gas planet between 2004 and 2017, CNN reported. A new analysis of data from the Cassini mission to Saturn has given new insight into how long Saturn’s rings have existed, and when they might disappear. Relevant research results have been shared in three studies published in May this year.

Scientists have long debated the age and origin of Saturn’s rings, which formed the solar system and its individual planets about 4.6 billion years ago. Some astronomers contend that Saturn’s bright, icy rings must be younger than expected because they haven’t been eroded or dimmed by interactions with meteoroids over billions of years.

Cassini data led to a new discovery. The new findings, published May 15 in the journal Icarus, support the theory that the rings appeared long after Saturn’s initial formation. Studies published in the journals Science Advances on May 12 and Icarus on May 15 came to similar conclusions.

“It was inevitable that we would conclude that by astronomical standards Looking at it, the rings of Saturn must be relatively young, only a few hundred million years old.”

According to researchers, Saturn’s seven rings may still have been forming when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

Saturn’s rings are roughly composed of crushed ice, with only a tiny fraction of rocky dust created in space by broken asteroid fragments and micrometeoroids. These debris, which resemble grains of sand, collide with particles in Saturn’s rings, creating floating debris that orbits the planet in rings.

The researchers were able to measure how much cosmic dust regularly travels through the solar system and accumulates on the icy rings. Over 13 years, Cassini’s barrel-shaped Cosmic Dust Analyzer was able to collect 163 dust grains from beyond the Saturn system orbiting the gas giant.

At the same time, as meteoroids infiltrate the rings, they rapidly push material in the innermost ring toward Saturn. Cassini observed that Saturn’s rings are losing many tons of mass every second, which means, in astronomical terms, that the rings are running out of time. The researchers estimate that Saturn’s rings will last only a few hundred million years at most.

Previous research has pointed out that Saturn’s rings may disappear within 100 million years.

“We have shown that giant planetary rings like Saturn’s rings are not Will last a long time.”

“We can speculate that the relatively small rings around other icy and gas giant planets in the solar system are the remnants of the once huge rings of planets like Saturn. As far as astronomy is concerned, perhaps in the near future, after the erosion of Saturn’s rings , they would look more like Uranus’ sparse rings.”

The faint rings around Neptune and Uranus were once larger and brighter like the rings of Saturn today, the researchers note.

Dream Talk: The Science and Secrets Behind Sleep Talking

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com May 2, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Dream talking is related to genes, memory, stress, and lack of sleep. It may seriously develop into “rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder”, such as shouting, hitting, and may even be the initial symptoms of dementia. (Picture: Provided by Health and Medical Network)

More than half of the people have talked in sleep, but what is sleep talk? Experts say sleep talking is a normal change in human sleep behavior, which is related to genes, memory, stress, and lack of sleep. People usually talk in the “non-rapid eye movement” (NREM), but if it occurs in the “rapid eye movement” (REM), it may evolve into “rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder”, such as shouting, slapping, etc., and even May be early symptoms of Parkinson’s or dementia.

Foreign media “Live Science” (Live Science) reported that sleep talking refers to a person making sounds while falling asleep, including words, short sentences, muttering, shouting or laughter. Sleep talking is experienced by more than half of all people, can occur in any age group, and is more common in children.

A study published in Sleep Medicine in 2010 found that two-thirds of adults had sleep talk at least once as adults; a study published in Brain & Development in 1980 showed that half of children They talk in their sleep one or more times a year, and even a quarter of the children talk in their sleep at least once a week.

Sleep talking is not a sleep disorder, but a normal variation in human sleep behavior. The International Classification of Sleep Disorders lists sleep talking, snoring, or sleep jerks as “isolated symptoms, apparent normal variations, and unresolved problems.”

5 reasons why you talk in your sleep

◎1 gene (with family history)

◎2 The brain is converting short-term memory into long-term memory

◎3 Brain development in childhood

◎４Pressure

◎5 Insufficient sleep

The reason for sleep talking is not clear, but researchers speculate that it is related to brain activity. Erik K. St. Louis, director of sleep neurology at the Mayo Clinic in the US, said the analysis showed similarities between sleep talking and normal waking speech. According to a 2017 study published in the journal Sleep, the language, patterns, syntax and semantics of sleep talk follow the same rules as people’s daily conversations.

Sleep talking may also be related to memory, and because the brain stores important experiences in long-term memory during sleep, a 2018 article in Sleep Medicine Reviews suggests that it may be that the brain is screening memories at the time, so people say Dream talk “oral replay”.

The reasons for sleep talking in children and adults may be different. Sleep talking and other unusual sleep behaviors are more common in children. This may be related to the stage of brain development in childhood, and the child’s brain “learns what not to do while sleeping.” Jennifer Martin, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, says that most children grow out of these nighttime chatters, although future episodes of stress or sleep deprivation can still occur.

As far as sleep talking in adults may be related to genetic factors, according to a 2001 study published in the journal Psychiatric Genetics, sleep talking runs in families. Sleep talking may accompany obstructive sleep apnea, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Dream talk reflects inner secrets?

Many people believe that sleep talk reflects a person’s deepest secrets. But according to a 2017 study published in the journal Sleep, 3,349 recordings confirmed that most of the words in the sleep talk were “no”, and the other half of the sleep talk was unrecognizable. Therefore, according to experts’ evaluation, it seems that people’s dream talk is not a secret in their hearts, and the content of dream talk is still a mystery.

A 2009 study published in the journal Sleep found that some people talk in their dreams and utter phrases that match their dreams. But most sleep talking has nothing to do with dreaming, Martin said, because it usually occurs during the “non-REM period,” when the brain enters deep slow-wave sleep with reduced activity.

As for the “rapid eye movement period”, the brain is active and the muscles of the body are relaxed and limp. If a person dreams during REM, it may be a symptom of a more serious problem. REM sleep behavior disorder, which can turn into violent sleep behaviors such as yelling, punching and kicking that cause injury to the patient or bed partner, can also be the first signs of Parkinson’s disease or dementia, St. Louis said symptom. If the above conditions occur, you should seek medical examination as soon as possible.

How to stop talking in your sleep?

Sleep talking is usually harmless, but 10% of sleep talking is swearing and swearing, which may make the listener uncomfortable. Sleep talking has also been linked to sleep disturbances and light sleep. If you want people to stop talking in your sleep, experts suggest that you can “nudge” them, and mild disturbance can make people stop talking in your sleep.

A 2013 study published in the Journal of Sleep Research showed that sleep deprivation increases disturbances in slow-wave sleep, non-REM sleep, leading to sleep talking and sleepwalking. Experts remind that having a good sleep quality can reduce sleep talking and sleepwalking. In other words, if you worry about disturbing sleep talk and let your partner go to bed first and you go to bed later, it will actually make the sleep talk more serious.

The nutritionist sorted out 4 simple steps to supplement calcium to teach the public to effectively supplement calcium.

Not only the 6 symptoms of osteoporosis are warning signs of calcium deficiency

Calcium is the most abundant mineral nutrient in the human body. About 99% of calcium is stored in structural tissues such as bones and teeth, and the rest is in the form of calcium ions, dispersed in cells and tissues such as blood, nerves, and muscles. Important functions such as blood clotting, muscle contraction, nerve conduction, and hormone secretion.

Therefore, if the body lacks calcium, in addition to osteoporosis and easy fractures, other body parts will also have symptoms of various sizes. Nutritionist Zhang Yuxi pointed out that if people lack calcium in their bodies, symptoms such as dry skin, cramps, brittle nails, and abnormal teeth will occur. In addition, it will also lead to insomnia, irritability, and depression.

How much calcium should be taken in daily? What food options are available?

According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s “Reference Intake of Dietary Nutrients for Chinese People – Eighth Edition”, the recommended daily calcium intake for people of all ages is 300-600 mg for 0-6 years old, 800 mg for 7-9 years old, and 800 mg for 10-12 years old 1000 mg for adults, 1200 mg for 13-18 years old, and 1000 mg for adults.

If people want to supplement calcium, they can start with their diet and consume more calcium-rich foods.
