Latam-GPT regionalLatam-GPT, el modelo abierto chileno, busca reducir sesgos y fortalecer soberanía tecnológica latinoamericanaPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoChile presentó Latam-GPT, un modelo de inteligencia artificial abierto entrenado con datos de América Latina y el Caribe para mejorar la representación cultural y lingüística en sistemas de IAChile acaba de dar un paso que puede cambiar la conversación sobre inteligencia artificial en nuestra región. El 10 de febrero, en Santiago, se presentó Latam-GPT, un modelo de lenguaje abierto creado desde América Latina y pensado para América Latina. El proyecto fue coordinado por el Centro Nacional de Inteligencia Artificial de Chile y reunió a más de 60 instituciones y cerca de 200 especialistas de al menos 15 países.La idea es sencilla de entender: muchos sistemas de inteligencia artificial que usamos a diario fueron entrenados sobre todo con información en inglés y con referencias culturales del norte global. Eso deja por fuera parte de nuestra historia, nuestras palabras y nuestras formas de hablar. ¿Puede una región participar en la revolución de la IA si su propia voz casi no aparece en los datos?La región quiere su propia voz digitalLatam-GPT fue desarrollado sobre la arquitectura abierta Llama 3.1, creada por Meta. Tiene 70.000 millones de parámetros. Cuando hablamos de parámetros, nos referimos a los valores internos que el modelo ajusta para aprender patrones del lenguaje. Entre más parámetros, mayor capacidad para captar relaciones complejas entre palabras y contextos.Para entrenarlo, el equipo reunió más de 300.000 millones de fragmentos de texto, lo que equivale a unos 230.000 millones de palabras. También se habla de más de ocho terabytes de información. Ocho terabytes son ocho millones de megabytes, un volumen comparable al contenido de millones de libros digitales. Todo ese material fue recopilado con permisos y licencias, según el Centro Nacional de Inteligencia Artificial.El modelo fue entrenado principalmente en español y portugués, los idiomas mayoritarios de la región. Además, el plan es incorporar lenguas indígenas como el mapudungun y el rapa nui. En su primera fase se entrenó en la nube de Amazon Web Services, y en 2026 se va a utilizar un supercomputador en la Universidad de Tarapacá, en el norte de Chile, con una inversión cercana a cinco millones de dólares.El contexto es claro. Estudios citados por los impulsores del proyecto indican que el español representa alrededor del 4 % de los datos usados para entrenar grandes modelos de lenguaje. El portugués apenas ronda el 2 %. Eso significa que más del 90 % del material proviene de otros idiomas y otras realidades culturales.Cuando un modelo aprende sobre todo con datos de Estados Unidos o Europa, puede responder mejor a preguntas sobre el sitio de Calais en 1346 que sobre el sitio de Chillán en la independencia chilena. Puede generar imágenes estereotipadas cuando se le pide representar a una persona latinoamericana. Ese sesgo no siempre es malintencionado, pero sí refleja un desequilibrio en los datos.Al mismo tiempo, el mercado global de la inteligencia artificial está dominado por grandes empresas de Estados Unidos y China, con presupuestos de cientos de millones o miles de millones de dólares. Latam-GPT fue desarrollado con un presupuesto cercano a 550.000 dólares, según varias fuentes. Algunos académicos advierten que, con esa diferencia de recursos, competir de tú a tú con modelos comerciales será muy difícil. Entonces surge otra pregunta: ¿el objetivo es competir o construir infraestructura pública regional?Los responsables del proyecto insisten en que Latam-GPT no nace como un chatbot para el público general. No es una copia directa de servicios como ChatGPT o Gemini. Es una base tecnológica abierta que gobiernos, universidades y empresas pueden adaptar a sus propias necesidades.Al estar disponible en plataformas como Hugging Face y GitHub, cualquier desarrollador puede descargar el modelo, ajustarlo y crear aplicaciones locales. Por ejemplo, la empresa chilena Digevo ya anunció que va a usarlo para desarrollar sistemas de atención al cliente para aerolíneas y comercios, capaces de entender modismos, velocidad de habla y expresiones regionales.El presidente chileno, Gabriel Boric, afirmó durante el lanzamiento que la región quiere sentarse a la mesa de la economía digital del futuro. La apuesta es construir soberanía tecnológica. Eso implica tener capacidad de decisión sobre los datos, las reglas y los usos de la inteligencia artificial en servicios públicos, salud, educación y justicia.Latam-GPT se suma a otras iniciativas regionales como SEA-LION en el sudeste asiático y UlizaLlama en África. Todas comparten una idea: adaptar la inteligencia artificial a contextos culturales específicos y reducir la dependencia de modelos extranjeros.El proyecto fue coordinado por el Centro Nacional de Inteligencia Artificial de Chile, con apoyo del Ministerio de Ciencia de ese país, el Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe, conocido como CAF, y otras organizaciones académicas y sociales de países como Colombia, Brasil, México, Perú, Uruguay y Argentina.Aunque el presupuesto inicial fue modesto en comparación con los gigantes tecnológicos, el plan contempla nuevas inversiones en infraestructura. El supercomputador que se instalará en la Universidad de Tarapacá permitirá entrenar versiones futuras con mayor capacidad y posiblemente añadir funciones multimodales, es decir, que el modelo pueda trabajar también con imágenes, audio o video.Otro punto clave es la gobernanza. Al tratarse de un modelo abierto, será necesario establecer reglas de uso, evaluaciones de sesgo, documentación sobre los datos empleados y mecanismos de actualización. La apertura facilita auditorías y adaptaciones locales, pero también exige responsabilidad en su implementación.Desde el punto de vista económico, un modelo regional puede reducir costos para startups y entidades públicas que no pueden pagar licencias elevadas de servicios internacionales. También puede impulsar la investigación en universidades latinoamericanas y formar talento especializado en inteligencia artificial.La gran incógnita es la sostenibilidad a largo plazo. Los modelos de lenguaje requieren actualizaciones constantes, nuevos datos y capacidad de cómputo. Si la coalición de más de 60 instituciones se mantiene activa, Latam-GPT puede convertirse en una plataforma estable. Si pierde financiación, el impulso inicial podría diluirse.En resumen, Latam-GPT es un modelo de inteligencia artificial abierto creado en Chile con apoyo regional para mejorar la representación cultural y lingüística de América Latina. Busca reducir sesgos y fortalecer soberanía tecnológica. Ahora la pregunta es cómo se va a usar y si logrará consolidarse como infraestructura pública regional.Te invito a seguir el pódcast en Spotify y a compartir este episodio de Flash Diario.

Chile's Atacama Desert is one of the driest places on earth – often likened to Mars. It is also home to piles of dumped clothes from fast fashion labels across the world. Because it is so dry nothing decomposes. And that means that clothes ditched 10 to 20 years ago still look recognisable. Sometimes the mountains of clothes are burnt causing toxic fumes which harm the local community of Alto Hospicio. This environmental crisis has been going on for years. It is a complex situation with multiple players involved. But different groups are starting to take action. Jane Chambers travels to the Atacama Desert to meet activists and locals trying to raise awareness. An enormous giant – El Gigante Vestido – is being created in the desert out of used clothes to get people talking. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.
Rod, Mo, Alex, and Chile talk about the Olympics and spend the majority of the show recapping Friday's Mile of Meat.
In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined by Lisa Wasko DeVetter, Ph.D., a professor of small fruit horticulture in the Department of Horticulture within the College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences. Her work focuses on applied research and extension related to small fruit production systems, with an emphasis on improving fruit quality, production efficiency and sustainability for crops such as blueberries. DeVetter reflects on the recent flooding of the Northwest, its impact on blueberry producers and the evidence-based recommendations she can make to producers if another flooding event is experienced. “Fortunately, there was enough time that elapsed between the 2021 flooding and this flood event so some of those fields that were impacted, they were either replanted because the damage was so severe or the planting was young and the grower took advantage of the opportunity just to start over with variety replacement or the field was managed and rejuvenated in such a way that it recovered. So, by the time it had this second flooding event, you know, we're not expecting kind of a double-whammy effect, if you will, from subsequent floodings from relatively close periods of time together.” – Lisa Wasko DeVetter, Ph.D. Topics covered include: An introduction to Devetter and her work. An exploration of the factors that influenced recommendations for producers that were impacted by these two major flooding events.Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas. Today you'll hear from Brittany Lee in Florida, Ross Phillips in Georgia, Luis Vegas in Peru, Andres Armstrong in Chile, Mario Ramirez in Mexico, T.J. Hafner in Oregon, Alan Schreiber in Washington and Sunny Brar in British Columbia. This was recorded on February 12, 2026.
En Francia, la justicia abrió varias investigaciones sobre la contaminación de lotes de leche infantil con una toxina peligrosa para la salud de los bebés. Grandes marcas como Nestlé, Lactalis y Danone retiraron preventivamente lotes de leche en decenas de países, Latinoamérica incluido. Y en Francia, varias familias de bebés enfermos pusieron una demanda judicial para exigir responsabilidades. El escándalo de la leche industrial contaminada inició en noviembre cuando el gigante Nestlé detectó la presencia de una toxina a raíz de controles rutinarios en una de sus plantas de producción en Países Bajos. Se trata de la cereulida, una toxina que puede causar diarreas y vómitos en los bebés. La toxina que puede resistir al calor fue detectada en un aceite rico en ácido araquidónico, un componente común en las fórmulas infantiles y producido por la empresa china Cabio Biotech, proveedor de varios gigantes de la agroindustria. Nestlé retiró entonces del mercado varios lotes en más de 50 países incluyendo 7 países latinoamericanos: Argentina, Brasil, Chile, México, Paraguay, Perú y Uruguay. El escándalo sanitario llegó a los tribunales en Francia, donde la fiscalía de París abrió 5 investigaciones. Se investiga en particular la muerte de 4 bebés, posiblemente ligadas al consumo de leche infantil contaminada. Un grupo de 8 familias francesas puso una demanda por negligencia. “En las 8 familias que acompañamos, ha habido distintos casos: algunos niños solo se enfermaron, otros fueron hospitalizados a veces hasta 3 semanas en cuidados intensivos. Ha sido duro para las familias. Hoy en día, la mayoría de estos bebés ya están bien, afortunadamente. Pero varios de ellos consumieron leche de los lotes señalados”, apunta Camille Dorioz responsable de campañas de la ONG Foodwatch que acompaña jurídicamente a las familias demandantes. Según los demandantes, las empresas productoras de fórmulas para bebés tardaron en tomar medidas precautorias. "Nestlé detectó la toxina a finales de noviembre. Hubo un primer llamado para retirar lotes el 12 de diciembre, luego en enero. Otras empresas retiraron productos a finales de enero y en febrero. Este ritmo se nos hizo muy lento. Queremos que la investigación identifique si las empresas retiraron los productos lo más rápido posible", pide Camille Dorioz. La alerta alimentaria se extendió a finales de enero con el retiro de lotes de leche de la marca Lactalis. A su vez, el gigante Danone retiró de la venta leche infantil en 18 países, incluyendo 5 países latinoamericanos. "Están surgiendo cada vez más casos en el mundo entero. A mediados de enero se reportaron casos ligados al consumo de leche infantil en Brasil. Hubo casos en Luxemburgo, 5 en Bélgica, 5 hospitalizaciones que podrían están vinculadas en España y cerca de 40 casos investigados en Reino Unido", observa Foodwatch. Por su parte, las autoridades chinas exigieron a todos los fabricantes de leche infantil llevar a cabo pruebas de detección de la toxina cereulida.

Anillo de fuego solarAnillo de fuego solar del 17 de febrero de 2026 visible en la AntártidaPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoEl primer eclipse solar de 2026 será anular, con un “anillo de fuego” visible desde la Antártida y parcialmente desde Sudamérica y África.Este 17 de febrero de 2026 el cielo va a ofrecer uno de esos espectáculos que parecen de ciencia ficción. La Luna va a pasar justo delante del Sol y va a dejar un aro brillante alrededor. A eso se le llama eclipse solar anular, o como muchos lo conocen, “anillo de fuego”.Pero hay un detalle importante: apenas alrededor del 2 % de la población mundial va a poder verlo en persona. El lugar privilegiado será una franja muy estrecha de la Antártida. En el sur de Argentina, Chile y partes del sur de África se va a observar como eclipse parcial.¿Por qué esta vez casi nadie habla del eclipse? ¿Qué lo hace diferente del eclipse total que vimos en 2024 en América? Vamos a entenderlo paso a paso.Pocas personas podrán verlo directamenteUn eclipse solar ocurre cuando la Luna se interpone entre la Tierra y el Sol. Eso sucede en fase de Luna nueva. Pero no siempre vemos un eclipse. La razón es geométrica. La órbita de la Luna está inclinada. Muchas veces pasa un poco por encima o por debajo del Sol desde nuestra perspectiva.En este caso, el alineamiento será casi perfecto. La Luna cubrirá hasta el 96 % del disco solar en la zona central del fenómeno. El problema es que la Luna estará un poco más lejos de la Tierra en su órbita elíptica. Al estar más lejos, se verá ligeramente más pequeña. Por eso no tapará el Sol por completo.El resultado será un círculo oscuro con un borde brillante alrededor. Ese borde es el Sol que sigue asomando. El fenómeno completo comenzará a las 09:56 en Tiempo Universal Coordinado y terminará a las 14:27. En el punto máximo, el anillo podrá durar hasta 2 minutos y 20 segundos. La sombra recorrerá un corredor de unos 4.282 kilómetros de largo y 616 kilómetros de ancho sobre el hielo antártico.Aquí viene el punto curioso. Este eclipse no generará grandes concentraciones de turistas. La franja de anularidad cruza una región de la Antártida donde casi no vive nadie. Se estima que apenas algunas decenas de científicos en bases como Concordia o Mirny podrán observar el anillo completo si el clima lo permite.Eso explica por qué el evento pasa casi desapercibido en muchos países. En el sur de Argentina y Chile el Sol aparecerá “mordido”, pero no se verá el anillo completo. En zonas del sur de África también será parcial. Para millones de personas en el hemisferio norte, simplemente no será visible.Otro punto clave es la seguridad. En un eclipse total, durante unos instantes se puede mirar sin gafas especiales cuando el Sol queda completamente cubierto. Aquí eso nunca ocurrirá. Siempre habrá luz solar directa. Mirar sin protección puede causar daño permanente en la retina. Gafas de sol normales no sirven. Se necesitan gafas certificadas para observación solar o métodos indirectos como un proyector estenopeico hecho con cartón.Aunque este eclipse sea remoto, forma parte de un ciclo más amplio. Los eclipses suelen venir en temporadas. Cuando ocurre uno solar, alrededor de dos semanas antes o después suele haber uno lunar. Y eso es lo que va a pasar ahora.El 3 de marzo de 2026 habrá un eclipse lunar total visible desde América, Asia, Australia y el Pacífico. En ese caso, la Tierra se interpondrá entre el Sol y la Luna. La Luna se teñirá de rojo. Ese fenómeno sí será visible para millones de personas y no requerirá gafas especiales.Además, el calendario astronómico de 2026 viene cargado. El 12 de agosto de 2026 habrá un eclipse solar total visible desde Groenlandia, Islandia y el norte de España. En 2027 habrá otro eclipse anular visible desde el sur de Chile y Argentina, con una duración mucho mayor.Así que, aunque este “anillo de fuego” sea exclusivo de la Antártida, el espectáculo de los eclipses seguirá ofreciendo oportunidades más accesibles muy pronto.Un dato fascinante es la coincidencia de tamaños aparentes entre el Sol y la Luna. El Sol es unas 400 veces más grande que la Luna. Pero también está aproximadamente 400 veces más lejos. Esa proporción hace que, vistos desde la Tierra, ambos parezcan casi del mismo tamaño.Cuando la Luna está en su punto más cercano a la Tierra, puede cubrir el Sol por completo y producir un eclipse total. Cuando está más lejos, como ahora, deja ese aro brillante.Se calcula que alrededor de 176 millones de personas podrán ver al menos una fase parcial de este eclipse. Aun así, eso representa una pequeña fracción del planeta.Y un detalle interesante: en regiones como el noroeste de Estados Unidos no se verá ningún eclipse solar hasta el año 2045. En otras palabras, la geografía decide quién puede vivir estos momentos. Todo depende de estar exactamente en el lugar correcto cuando la sombra pasa. Es pura mecánica celeste.Resumen y recomendaciónEl 17 de febrero de 2026 veremos un eclipse solar anular con un “anillo de fuego” visible desde la Antártida. Será breve, remoto y científicamente fascinante. Si no puedes verlo, prepárate para el eclipse lunar del 3 de marzo.Cuéntame si alguna vez has visto un eclipse y qué sentiste.

Esta noche, la comunidad nos lleva a esos lugares que aparecen cuando ya es tarde para tomar otra decisión: moteles de carretera, pasillos sin luz, recepciones vacías… y habitaciones que nadie quiere abrir. En estas historias, el terror no llega con un monstruo, llega con algo peor: la sensación de que entraste a donde no debías, y de que alguien —o algo— ya te estaba esperando desde antes. Viajaremos por tramos solitarios, por ciudades donde lo cotidiano se tuerce de golpe, y por casas que guardan secretos detrás de un candado. Y cuando creas que ya pasó lo peor… vas a entender por qué hay puertas que se cierran no para protegerte, sino para encerrarte. Apaga la luz. Y no te asomes demasiado. Estás escuchando Relatos de la Noche.

En Valparaíso, república de Chile, un hombre de apenas veintiocho años de edad, debido al rechazo de parte de la mujer a la que amaba, decidió quitarse la vida. El hecho no hubiera sido notable de no haber sido por una oferta que hizo el hombre. «Quiero que mi muerte no sea en vano —anunció—. Quiero dar mi corazón a una enferma que lo necesite.» Había, por cierto, una mujer enferma del corazón que se encontraba en esos momentos al borde de la muerte, y un nuevo corazón podía haberle salvado la vida. Pero los médicos que la atendían rechazaron la oferta del decepcionado hombre y ordenaron que se le pusiera bajo vigilancia por tratarse de un posible suicida. El hombre le había ofrecido a su amada el corazón, como lo hace todo hombre enamorado, pero decepcionado al no ser correspondido, se lo había ofrecido luego a otra. La oferta que le había hecho a su amada era, por supuesto, simbólica. «Mi corazón es tuyo», le había dicho. Sin embargo, para la enferma desconocida la oferta del corazón era física y por lo tanto real. Es importante reconocer que este suceso fue noticia por la reacción desproporcionada del romántico hombre, ya que desde tiempos antiguos ha habido innumerables casos de rechazo por parte de una mujer hacia su enamorado. El hombre común y corriente, frente al rechazo de su amada, quiere mostrarle a ella que ha cometido un tremendo error. Pero en vez de determinar que será un hombre ejemplar de tanto éxito que ella, a la larga, se lamentará de haberlo rechazado, por lo general se deprime o se enoja y decide darle una lección. En casos excepcionales parecidos al del hombre de Valparaíso, el hombre rechazado se hiere él mismo, al extremo de procurar suicidarse. En el peor de los casos hiere física, verbal o emocionalmente a la mujer que no lo acepta, al extremo de querer matarla. Pero en la mayoría de los casos el hombre rechazado, al igual que el hombre de Valparaíso, busca a otra mujer para ofrecerle su corazón quebrantado en un acto físico y no simbólico, sólo que a diferencia de aquel hombre chileno, no busca a una mujer enferma en lo físico sino en lo moral. Y lo hace para que su amada se dé cuenta de cómo lo ha obligado a lanzarse a los brazos de una mujer mil veces menos digna de su amor que ella. Es precisamente a tal hombre al que le dirige la palabra el sabio maestro del libro de los Proverbios. «Dame, hijo mío, tu corazón y no pierdas de vista mis caminos —le aconseja—. Porque fosa profunda es la prostituta, y estrecho pozo, la mujer ajena.... No desvíes tu corazón hacia sus sendas, ni te extravíes por sus caminos, pues muchos han muerto por su causa; sus víctimas han sido innumerables. Su casa lleva derecho al sepulcro; ¡conduce al reino de la muerte!... Por sobre todas las cosas cuida tu corazón, porque de él mana la vida.»1 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Pr 23:26‑27; 7:25‑27; 4:23
Show Notes: Tobey Weintraub Collins pursued a master's degree in international relations at Georgetown, where she met her husband who joined the US Foreign Service. Tobey worked in project finance in Brazil and Venezuela, focusing on energy projects, and later worked for AES Corp in the US and Chile. She eventually moved back to the US and has been at Astris for the past 13 years, specializing in energy and infrastructure investment banking. Life in Venezuela Tobey describes Venezuela in 2000-2001 as relatively normal, with the US still influential, and her work focused on Central America and the Caribbean. She notes that Caracas was a pleasant place to live, though it was quieter compared to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Tobey reflects on the changes in Venezuela since then, expressing optimism for the future despite the current challenges. She shares a personal story about her son being born in Venezuela and the family's eventual move back to the US. Venezuela Under Chavez The conversation turns to Chavez's administration and the reforms he implemented. Tobey recalls the acquisition of the largest electricity distribution company in Venezuela by AES during her time in Venezuela. She acknowledges Chavez's initial leftist leanings but notes that he later became more radical. Tobey shares a story about a deal she worked on in Guatemala, helping to refinance a company's debt. She explains the due diligence process, the importance of understanding business risks, and the role of rating agencies in structuring deals. Working at AES Tobey talks about her time at AES and the types of deals she worked on. She joined AES during a critical period when the company narrowly avoided bankruptcy and needed to restructure its debt. She worked on restructuring debt facilities in Latin America, including in Brazil, and later became the CFO of AES's business in Chile. Tobey describes a notable transaction in Chile involving twin bonds to refinance transmission lines, which was innovative at the time. She highlights the importance of client relationships in the investment banking industry. Working in the Battery Storage Sector When asked about her current role at Astris and recent deals she has found exciting, Tobey explains that her focus has shifted more to the US and Canada, particularly in the battery storage sector. She describes working with a client to bid on a long-term contract for battery projects in Ontario, which they won. Tobey discusses the challenges and opportunities in the battery storage market, including the need for reliable electricity supply. She mentions the importance of data centers and the challenges they face in securing enough energy generation capacity. The Demand for Electricity in the US Tobey explains that electricity demand in the US is expected to grow, necessitating more generation capacity. She discusses the role of traditional sources like gas-fired power plants and new technologies like small modular reactors and geothermal energy. Tobey highlights the importance of transmission lines and energy storage solutions to address the demand. She notes the need for investment and innovation to meet the growing demand for electricity. A Love of Latin American Cuisine Tobey praises the food in Mexico City, Lima, and Brazil, highlighting the regional variations and delicious dishes. She shares her love for cooking and her hobby of trying new cuisines. Tobey recounts recent travel experiences, including a trip to Morocco and Japan, and the cultural and culinary highlights of these destinations. She emphasizes the importance of traveling to new places and having new experiences.

In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Maureen Madden, DNP, RN, CPNP-AC, CCRN, FCCM, speaks with Javier Varela, MD, MSc, about his study, “Acute Bronchiolitis in Infants on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation: Physiology Study of Airway Closure,” published in the September 2025 issue of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. The study revealed new insights into airway pathophysiology in infants with severe bronchiolitis who require mechanical ventilation, a population that comprises a substantial portion of winter pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admissions worldwide. Dr. Varela is an intensivist in the PICU in the Department of Pediatrics at Clínica Alemana de Santiago, in Santiago, Chile. Differing ventilatory strategies and the heterogeneous phenotypes of bronchiolitis motivated Dr. Varela's team to investigate airway closure, which was detected in seven of the 12 patients included in the study. Airway opening pressure frequently exceeded the set positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels—highlighting a potential gap in traditional ventilator management. Dr. Varela explains that respiratory mechanics, particularly driving pressure and respiratory system compliance, can be misinterpreted when airway opening pressure is not considered. Study limitations included bacterial coinfection in nearly half the patients and the constraints of a single-center design, but Dr. Varela said that these factors did not appear to alter the physiologic observations. Although more research is needed before making clinical recommendations, the study established a foundational understanding of airway closure in patients with bronchiolitis and underscores the need for future work on personalized ventilation strategies, PEEP titration, and the potential heterogeneity of airway behavior in this population.

La distinción entre patrimonio y tradición, las maneras en que se investiga en terreno, cómo se construye una colección de textos tras 20 años de su primer tomo y al que aún le faltan extensos territorios por cubrir en el país. En suma, cómo se cocina a fuego lento un libro que representa -y lo hará por mucho tiempo- el sentir culinario de una región como la del Maule. Todo esto aparece en esta charla con la encargada de cultura de la Fundación de Comunicaciones, Capacitación y Cultura del Agro (FUCOA), entidad responsable de un trabajo donde el Estado de Chile muestra buena parte de la identidad de un territorio marcado por el trigo, el vino, la vieja vida del latifundio, contorneado por la labor campesina, arriera, pescadora y citadina.

This is Episode 2 of our sub-series "Environmental Issues along the Belt and Road."The series considers the complexities of Chinese actors' impacts on the environment, extractive activities, and role in driving sustainability solutions from the sands of the Mekong River to lithium mines in Argentina. Since 2012, China has invested roughly US$4 billion in 12 nickel projects across Southeast Asia, with a major focus on Indonesia, which supplies 16% of global nickel production. In South America, Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina— known as the Lithium Triangle—together hold over 54% of the world's lithium reserves beneath their salt flats as of 2024, and China is the only country to have signed agreements with all three. In this episode, we explore what makes minerals “critical” to the energy transition, how China's long-term industrial strategy and geopolitical struggles has (re)shaped global critical mineral supply chains, and, through cases of Indonesian nickel and lithium in Argentina, how stakeholders in producer countries navigate trade-offs between economic development, sovereignty, & environmental and social impacts.We interview 4 experts: Dr. Jing Li is a professor at Simon Fraser University's Beedie School of Business and holds the Canada Research Chair in Global Investment Strategy. She also serves as the Co-Director of the Jack Austin Center for Asia Pacific Business Studies. Her research explores international investment strategies, joint ventures, emerging market firms, innovation in emerging economies, & the behavior and performance of state-owned enterprises.

La crisis entre Argentina y Chile de 1978 fue una situación de riesgo de guerra entre Argentina y Chile que sucedió entre los años 1977 y 1979 a raíz del laudo arbitral británico. La mediación papal en el conflicto del Beagle solucionó la crisis. Documental financiado por la Corporación Cultural "Arturo Prat Chacón" y Familia Álamos Délano. Producida por UCV3.

Después de comenzar con una rave en una sauna danesa esta edición de Gente viajera con Carles Lamelo, seguimos la fiesta electrónica con Rebeca Marín y la experiencia de Sirat de Oliver Laxe en el Museo de Arte Reina Sofía. Con la música nos perdemos por Luisiana, llenando de paso los carrillos de comida cajún y criolla, con Víctor Herranz. Enrique Domínguez Uceta nos lleva al casco histórico Patrimonio de la Humanidad y otros atractivos de Tallín, en Estonia, y nos sugiere acercarnos a los exvotos marinos en iglesias del País Vasco como la de la Virgen del Mar de Mamariga, en Santurtzi, donde los marineros dejaron una fragata de ocho cañones del siglo XVIII colgando del techo para agradecer a Dios, a la Virgen o a los santos la protección recibida en el mar. Frank Rodríguez, fundador de AstroEduca, que ofrece experiencias de astroturismo en Gran Canaria como ser astrónomo por una noche en un observatorio astronómico amateur, nos cuenta cómo son los limpísimos cielos grancanarios y las actividades para disfrutarlos y nos regala un súper consejo para el eclipse solar total del 12 de agosto. Otro súper consejo es visitar los mercados españoles para comprar producto fresco, pero también para comer en ellos. Anna Riera nos hace una ruta de mercados que comienza en Santiago de Compostela y finaliza en Málaga y también nos anima a practicar el desperdicio cero en la cocina tomando como referente la cocina líquida de Ricard Camarena. Una cocina que a buen seguro marida a la perfección con los vinos del Valle Casablanca y el Valle de Colchagua, en Chile. Más de 300 viñas se abren al público en este país por cuyas muchísimas maravillas naturales nos guía Verónica Pardo, su subsecretaria de Turismo. En el 50 aniversario de la muerte de Agatha Christie, con Sandra Martín damos una vuelta por Estambul, donde comienza Asesinato en el Orient Express.
Esta noche, la comunidad nos lleva a esos lugares que aparecen cuando ya es tarde para tomar otra decisión: moteles de carretera, pasillos sin luz, recepciones vacías… y habitaciones que nadie quiere abrir. En estas historias, el terror no llega con un monstruo, llega con algo peor: la sensación de que entraste a donde no debías, y de que alguien —o algo— ya te estaba esperando desde antes. Viajaremos por tramos solitarios, por ciudades donde lo cotidiano se tuerce de golpe, y por casas que guardan secretos detrás de un candado. Y cuando creas que ya pasó lo peor… vas a entender por qué hay puertas que se cierran no para protegerte, sino para encerrarte. Apaga la luz. Y no te asomes demasiado. Estás escuchando Relatos de la Noche. Suscríbete al Videoclub de Medianoche: https://www.youtube.com/@ElVideoclubdeMedianoche —
The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Sweeping winds of vaporized metals have been found in a massive cloud that dimmed the light of a star for nearly nine months. This discovery, made with the Gemini South telescope in Chile offers a rare glimpse into the chaotic and dynamic processes still shaping planetary systems long after their formation. In this podcast, Dr. Nadia Zakamska describes the discovery of this object, stemming from a mysterious dimming of a star, to the analysis of the gas cloud. Bios: - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. - Dr. Nadia Zakamska was born and raised in Russia and received a Masters degree from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. She came to the United States in 2001 to pursue graduate education in Astrophysics in Princeton University. After her Ph.D., she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at Stanford University before moving to the Johns Hopkins University for a faculty position in 2011. She is now a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, with a wide range of research interests across many areas of astrophysics. She lives in Baltimore with her husband and four children.

A sobering investigation of the rush for lithium for electric vehicles, the problematic history of lithium mining, and the consequences for sustainability. Consumers today are buying electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries motivated by the belief that they are doing good and decarbonizing society. But is sustainable lithium extraction possible? In Living Minerals, Javiera Barandiarán examines the history of lithium mining and uses during the twentieth century, with a specific focus on the two oldest brine-lithium mines: Silver Peak, Nevada, and Salar de Atacama, Chile, where lithium is found as one more element in a liquid mix of salts, minerals, and organisms. For six decades, mining experts have failed to ask about water usage, about waste or brine leakage, and about the ecosystem impacts in delicate deserts. Instead, they have relied on various fictions about the size of reserves, the fate of leaked brine, or the value of waste in facilitating mine development. These fictions, rooted in brine-lithium's material qualities, could be sustained thanks to powerful mining memories that celebrated resource nationalism. Unique in its historical and multidimensional approach to minerals and mining, based on the novel Rights of Nature paradigm, and using new archival materials from both Chile and the US, the book argues that decarbonizing society requires that we reckon with these realities—or risk deepening our dependency on an unsustainable mining industry. Javiera Barandiarán is Associate Professor in the Global Studies program at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Sandra Elizabeth is a graduate student enrolled at the Department of Sociology in Shiv Nadar University, Delhi- NCR. Her research relates to water- control projects implemented in a low- lying, deltaic region in South- West Indian state of Kerala called Kuttanad– which is dubbed as the state's rice granary.

What happens when you look at a scientific failure from a different angle? In this episode, we celebrate the intersection of aesthetic beauty and rigorous research as we sit down with the inaugural winners of the SSR ReproBioArt Contest.Join us as Dr. Ingrid Carvacho (Universidad Católica del Maule, Chile) and Dr. Martin Estermann (NIH) reveal the stories behind their award-winning images. From a "rejected" chicken embryo that transformed into a vibrant butterfly to a two-cell embryo that looks like a distant solar system, our guests discuss how high-resolution imaging is changing the way we understand the beginnings of life.In this episode, we explore:The Serendipity of Discovery: How a 180-degree flip turned Martin's "urogenital butterfly" from a rejected journal cover into a prize-winning masterpiece.Science Beyond the Capital: Ingrid's powerful story of building a research program in regional Chile and the "infrastructure gap" that required a three-hour drive just to access a microscope. The Power of Metaphor: Why describing early embryo development as a "complex universe" helps bridge the gap between the lab and the general public. The Future of Imaging: A look at cutting-edge techniques like Expansion Microscopy and how researchers are "stretching" cells to see life in higher resolution than ever before.Featured Guests:Dr. Ingrid Carvacho: Associate Professor and PI of the Lab of Ion Channels and Reproduction. Winner of the People's Choice Award. Dr. Martin Estermann: Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Humphrey Yao's lab at NIEHS.

This week, Pastor Vince continued our “Unspeakable” theme for Lent by recounting his recent visit to the Musuem of Memory and Human rights in Chile. Centering Mark 15-: 33-39, he identifies despair as a mark of our faith.
A sobering investigation of the rush for lithium for electric vehicles, the problematic history of lithium mining, and the consequences for sustainability. Consumers today are buying electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries motivated by the belief that they are doing good and decarbonizing society. But is sustainable lithium extraction possible? In Living Minerals, Javiera Barandiarán examines the history of lithium mining and uses during the twentieth century, with a specific focus on the two oldest brine-lithium mines: Silver Peak, Nevada, and Salar de Atacama, Chile, where lithium is found as one more element in a liquid mix of salts, minerals, and organisms. For six decades, mining experts have failed to ask about water usage, about waste or brine leakage, and about the ecosystem impacts in delicate deserts. Instead, they have relied on various fictions about the size of reserves, the fate of leaked brine, or the value of waste in facilitating mine development. These fictions, rooted in brine-lithium's material qualities, could be sustained thanks to powerful mining memories that celebrated resource nationalism. Unique in its historical and multidimensional approach to minerals and mining, based on the novel Rights of Nature paradigm, and using new archival materials from both Chile and the US, the book argues that decarbonizing society requires that we reckon with these realities—or risk deepening our dependency on an unsustainable mining industry.

Buenos días. El Gobierno finalmente decidió que enviará ayuda humanitaria a Cuba, lo que ya levanta cuestionamientos desde la oposición, donde afirman que la prioridad en apoyo económico debe ser para los damnificados de los incendios, emergencias que durante esta administración cobraron una cifra récord de víctimas fatales, pasando de 15 en el gobierno anterior a 193 en el período actual. La asistencia a la isla se enviará por medio de la Unicef, mediante el fondo especial “Chile contra el hambre y la pobreza” de la Agencia Chilena de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo, y podrá ser de hasta US$5 millones anuales. Según explicó el propio Presidente Gabriel Boric, “el bloqueo que Estados Unidos ha impuesto a Cuba y que ha agudizado en las últimas semanas es criminal y un atentado a los derechos humanos de todo un pueblo”.

As we move towards Total Systemic Change, shifting from the death cult of predatory capitalism towards a future we'd actually be proud to leave behind, our absolute baseline non-negotiable foundations must be Clean Air, Clean Water, Clean Soil. We talk a lot about regenerative agriculture on this podcast, and how we can rebuild living soils from the inert growing media we've created in the hellscapes of Industrial Agriculture. One day, we'll talk about Clean Air. Today, we're talking about water, that utterly essential part of our biological and spiritual lives. It should be clean. It should be safe to drink, to swim in, for us and all the species with whom we share our beautiful blue pearl of a watery planet. As we all know… it's not. It's not because our system values profit over the vibrancy of life. It's not because people in suits have found that if they treat our rivers as open sewers and our oceans as waste dumps they can get away with it. It's not because for too long, we've believed the stories that say there is no alternative and this is the way the world has to be. But the masks are coming off and activism is increasingly being seen as an act of radical, necessary resistance that can bring people together, bridging across the false, toxic cultural divides that the establishment creates so that we fight ourselves instead of working towards a world founded on different values. The push for clean water is one of the most unifying drives we have. It doesn't matter where you are on the political spectrum, you don't vote for sewage to be poured into the rivers, for the dead zones in the oceans to grow and join up, for the rain to be full of forever toxins so that some suit in a company C-suites can buy themselves a new private jet and an invitation to Jeffrey Epstein's private parties. In the UK, we're in an almost unique position because back in the 80s, Margaret Thatcher saw Pinochet privatising the water and sewage companies in Chile and decided this was a fine idea and imported it wholesale to the UK. Our water and sewage companies were privatised at a steal in 1989 and pretty much everyone is agreed this is an incredibly bad idea. Except successive governments. So people got together and formed their own activist groups based around the rivers near them - there's always at least one - and they are conducting citizen science, holding people's assemblies and generally making enough of a nuisance of themselves that those in power have to take notice. All this being the case, it's World Water Day on March 22nd every year and this year - we're recording in 2026 for those of you who listen years later - we're talking to Claire Kirby co-founder of Up Sewage Creek and a member of the Sewage Campaign Network. I first met Claire when my last dog was young - so nearly 20 years ago. She has a degree in Environmental Science from King's College London and then went on to become a Pet Behaviour Specialist who used to run rather wonderful puppy training classes. In 2020, following an episode of this podcast, she undertook a training with Trust the People and went on to co-found Up Sewage Creek, an activist group based around the River Severn in Shrewsbury on the borders between England and Wales. More recently, she has become an active part of the Sewage Campaign Network and is actively campaigning against the latest Government White Paper on the Water Industry which as much of a greenwash/whitewash as you'd expect. This was a lively conversation, a lot of it focussed on the situation in England, mainly because we live here and it's pretty bad. But wherever you are in the world, you have water somewhere near you and I guarantee it's not clean - and there will be people around you who care that it become cleaner. Clearly if you're in a war zone, even if it's an as-yet undeclared civil war, this is not your highest priority and I really do want to honour the people of Minnesota, Maine and Oregon who are taking to the streets in freezing weather to face the Terrorist gangs unleashed by the US government. You have other things to think about than the quality of your water, though not far away in Flint, Michigan, there is one of the most egregious failures of local politics ever to express itself in the quality of the water, so this is clearly a universal problem. We each do what we can. For those of us not facing pepper spray, uniting our communities so that nobody is ever prepared to join up to the government's shock troops might be the front line. If testing water is your thing, please do it. And to find out how and why to connect and converge, let's talk to Claire Kirby of Up Sewage Creek.

None of Your Goddamn BusinessJohn Morgan Salomon said something during our conversation that I haven't stopped thinking about. We were discussing encryption, privacy laws, the usual terrain — and he cut through all of it with five words: "It's none of your goddamn business."Not elegant. Not diplomatic. But exactly right.John has spent 30 years in information security. He's Swiss, lives in Spain, advises governments and startups, and uses his real name on social media despite spending his career thinking about privacy. When someone like that tells you he's worried, you should probably pay attention.The immediate concern is something called "Chat Control" — a proposed EU law that would mandate access to encrypted communications on your phone. It's failed twice. It's now in its third iteration. The Danish Information Commissioner is pushing it. Germany and Poland are resisting. The European Parliament is next.The justification is familiar: child abuse materials, terrorism, drug trafficking. These are the straw man arguments that appear every time someone wants to break encryption. And John walked me through the pattern: tragedy strikes, laws pass in the emotional fervor, and those laws never go away. The Patriot Act. RIPA in the UK. The Clipper Chip the FBI tried to push in the 1990s. Same playbook, different decade.Here's the rhetorical trap: "Do you support terrorism? Do you support child abuse?" There's only one acceptable answer. And once you give it, you've already conceded the frame. You're now arguing about implementation rather than principle.But the principle matters. John calls it the panopticon — the Victorian-era prison design where all cells face inward toward a central guard tower. No walls. Total visibility. The transparent citizen. If you can see what everyone is doing, you can spot evil early. That's the theory.The reality is different. Once you build the infrastructure to monitor everyone, the question becomes: who decides what "evil" looks like? Child pornographers, sure. Terrorists, obviously. But what about LGBTQ individuals in countries where their existence is criminalized? John told me about visiting Chile in 2006, where his gay neighbor could only hold his partner's hand inside a hidden bar. That was a democracy. It was also a place where being yourself was punishable by prison.The targets expand. They always do. Catholics in 1960s America. Migrants today. Anyone who thinks differently from whoever holds power at any given moment. These laws don't just catch criminals — they set precedents. And precedents outlive the people who set them.John made another point that landed hard: the privacy we've already lost probably isn't coming back. Supermarket loyalty cards. Surveillance cameras. Social media profiles. Cookie consent dialogs we click through without reading. That version of privacy is dead. But there's another kind — the kind that prevents all that ambient data from being weaponized against you as an individual. The kind that stops your encrypted messages from becoming evidence of thought crimes. That privacy still exists. For now.Technology won't save us. John was clear about that. Neither will it destroy us. Technology is just an element in a much larger equation that includes human nature, greed, apathy, and the willingness of citizens to actually engage. He sent emails to 40 Spanish members of European Parliament about Chat Control. One responded.That's the real problem. Not the law. Not the technology. The apathy.Republic comes from "res publica" — the thing of the people. Benjamin Franklin supposedly said it best: "A republic, if you can keep it." Keeping it requires attention. Requires understanding what's at stake. Requires saying, when necessary: this is none of your goddamn business.Stay curious. Stay Human. Subscribe to the podcast.

Our Chief LatAm Equity Strategist Nikolaj Lippmann discusses why Latin America may be approaching a rare “Spring” moment – where geopolitics, peaking rates, and elections set the scene for an investment-led growth cycle with meaningful market upside.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Nikolaj Lippmann: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Nikolaj Lippmann, Morgan Stanley's Chief Latin America Equity Strategist. If you ever felt like Latin America is too complicated to follow, today's episode is for you. It's Monday, February 9th at 10am in New York. The big idea in our research is simple. Latin America is facing a trifecta of change that could set up a very different investment story from what investors have gotten used to. We could be moving towards an investment or CapEx cycle in the shadow of the global AI CapEx cycle, and this is a stark departure from prior consumer cycles in Latin America. Latin America's GDP today is about $6 trillion. Yet Latin American equities account for just about 80 basis points of the main global index MSCI All Country World Equity benchmark. In plain English, it's really easy for investors to overlook such a vast region. But the narrative seems to be changing thanks to three key factors. Number one, shifting geopolitics in this increasingly global multipolar world. We can see this with trade rules, security priorities, supply chains that are getting rewritten. Capital and investment will often move alongside with these changing rules. Clearly, as we can all see U.S. priorities in Latin America have shifted, and with them have local priorities and incentives. Second, interest rates may very well have been peaking and could decline into [20]26. When borrowing cost fall, it just becomes easier to fund factories, infrastructure, AI, and expansion into all kinds of different investment, which become more feasible. What is more, we see a big shift in the size and growth of domestic capital markets in almost every country in Latin America – something that happens courtesy of reform and is certainly new versus prior cycles. And finally, elections that could lead to an important policy shift across Latin America. We see signs of movement towards greater fiscal responsibility in many sites of the region, with upcoming elections in Colombia and Brazil. We have already seen new policy makers in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, depart from prior populism. So, when we put all this together -- geopolitics, rates and local election -- you get to the core of our thesis, a possible LatAm spring; meaning a decisive break from the status quo towards fiscal consolidation, monetary easing, and structural reform. And we think that that could be a potential move that restores some confidence and attracts private capital. In our spring scenario, we see interest rates coming down, not rising in a scenario of higher growth to 6 percent in Brazil and Mexico, 7 percent in Argentina, and just 4 percent in Chile. This helps the rerating of the region. There's another powerful factor that I think many investors overlook, and that is a key difference versus prior cycles, as already mentioned. And that's the domestic savings. Local portfolios today are much bigger, much deeper capital markets, and they're heavily skewed towards fixed income. 75 percent of Latin American portfolios are in fixed income versus 25 percent in equity. In Brazil, the number's even higher with 90 to 95 percent in fixed income. If this shifts even halfway towards equity, it can deepen and support local capital markets; it supports valuation. For the region as a whole, sectors most impacted by this transformation would be Financial Services, Energy, Utilities, IT and Healthcare. Up until now, I think Latin America has been viewed as a region where a lot could go wrong. We asked the reverse question. What could go right? If the trifecta lines up: geopolitics, peaking rates and elections that enable a more investment friendly policy and CapEx cycle, Latin America could shift from being seen mainly as a supply of commodities and labor to far more investment driven engine of growth. That's why investors should put Latin America on the radar now and not wait until spring is already in full bloom. Thanks for listening.

In this episode of The Produce Industry Podcast with Patrick Kelly, we break down the biggest takeaways from Fruit Logistica 2026 in Berlin — from data‑driven transformation and sustainability to global trade standards and the rise of storytelling in fresh produce. Patrick also shares his personal journey across Spain, Morocco, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa, Chile, and beyond on a mission to uncover the top citrus making its way around the world.Plus, we feature exclusive on‑site interviews with Jaime Bustamante of the DRC on trade standards and financial protection, and Hannes Taubert of VOG – Home of Apples on strategy, branding, and global communication.If you want to understand where the fresh produce industry is heading — and what's driving the next decade of growth — this episode delivers the insights you need.
For the first time in history, multiple countries have jointly nominated a candidate for UN Secretary General. Earlier this week, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico endorsed Michelle Bachelet—a former president of Chile, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and a survivor of brutal repression under the Pinochet regime. The move is unprecedented—and potentially transformative. What does it signal about the race to replace António Guterres, and how soon might more rival candidates emerge? Anjali and Mark unpack what this coordinated nomination reveals about shifting power dynamics inside the UN. They then turn to the latest Epstein document dump, which has ensnared several prominent diplomats and sent shockwaves through the diplomatic world. Finally, they confront a looming institutional crisis: the UN's cash reserves are so depleted that even the viability of this year's UNGA is now being called into question.
