Story Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede højt over København, og Tivoli Gardens summede af liv.En: The sun shone high over København and Tivoli Gardens buzzed with life.Da: Farverne dansede omkring, med karuseller, der svingede og snurrede, mens duften af nystegte pandekager fyldte luften.En: The colors danced around, with carousels swinging and spinning, while the scent of freshly fried pancakes filled the air.Da: Anders, Freja og Lars, tre gode venner, bevægede sig mellem de mange boder, ivrige efter en dag fyldt med sjov og latter.En: Anders, Freja, and Lars, three good friends, moved between the many stalls, eager for a day filled with fun and laughter.Da: Anders var spændt.En: Anders was excited.Da: Han elskede følelsen af adrenalin fra de vilde rutsjebaner og havde allerede en plan for dagen.En: He loved the feeling of adrenaline from the wild roller coasters and already had a plan for the day.Da: Freja gik ved hans side, altid klar til at bringe lidt ro i gruppen.En: Freja walked by his side, always ready to bring a bit of calm to the group.Da: Til trods for hendes ofte forsigtige tilbøjeligheder, nød hun virkelig dagen med sine venner – specielt Anders, selvom hun aldrig havde fået det sagt højt.En: Despite her often cautious inclinations, she truly enjoyed the day with her friends – especially Anders, although she had never said it out loud.Da: Lars fulgte med et bredt smil, hvis humor altid kunne lyse en grå dag op.En: Lars followed with a broad smile, whose humor could always brighten a gray day.Da: Men Lars havde en hemmelig fjende: hans allergi over for peanuts.En: But Lars had a secret enemy: his allergy to peanuts.Da: Da de gik forbi en bod, hvor der blev solgt nødder i alle former, bemærkede Lars dem ikke rigtigt.En: As they passed by a stall selling nuts of all kinds, Lars didn't really notice them.Da: Han tog en lille smagsprøve uden at tænke nærmere over det.En: He took a small sample without thinking much about it.Da: Kort efter begyndte bekymringen at skylle over Freja og Anders, da Lars' ansigt begyndte at hæve, og hans vejrtrækning blev besværet.En: Shortly after, worry began to wash over Freja and Anders, as Lars' face began to swell, and his breathing became labored.Da: Panikkens bølge ramte Anders hårdt.En: A wave of panic hit Anders hard.Da: I en brøkdel af et sekund gik det op for dem alle, at det var allergien, der truede med at ødelægge dagen – ja, måske mere end det.En: In a fraction of a second, it dawned on all of them that it was the allergy threatening to ruin the day – yes, maybe more than that.Da: Hurtigt sprang Anders ind i rollen som lederen, mens Freja tog sig af Lars.En: Quickly Anders jumped into the role of the leader, while Freja took care of Lars.Da: Hun forsøgte at holde ham rolig, mens hun tjekkede, hvad de havde af førstehjælpsmidler.En: She tried to keep him calm while checking what first aid supplies they had.Da: Anders løb gennem menneskemængden.En: Anders ran through the crowd.Da: Han kunne høre musikken, de skinger høje lyde fra skrigende børn og barnhjulernes raslende kæder.En: He could hear the music, the shrill high sounds from screaming children, and the rattling chains of the Ferris wheels.Da: Han ledte ivrigt efter en parkmedic.En: He was eagerly searching for a park medic.Da: Tiden føltes pludselig knap.En: Time suddenly felt short.Da: Da han så skiltet til det førstehjælpsområde, bredte lettelsen sig igennem ham.En: When he saw the sign for the first aid area, relief spread through him.Da: "Hjælp, hjælp!"En: "Help, help!"Da: råbte han, mens han vinkede vildt med armene og til sidst fik fat i en medic.En: he shouted, waving his arms wildly and finally grabbing the attention of a medic.Da: De løb tilbage til Lars, hvor Freja stadig kæmpede med at holde situationen under kontrol.En: They ran back to Lars, where Freja was still struggling to keep the situation under control.Da: Med en hurtig indsats fik medikken givet Lars præcis den hjælp, han havde brug for.En: With swift action, the medic gave Lars precisely the help he needed.Da: Langsomt faldt den forfærdelige hævelse bort, og hans vejrtrækning blev normal igen.En: Slowly, the terrible swelling subsided, and his breathing returned to normal.Da: Anders og Freja åndede lettet op.En: Anders and Freja breathed a sigh of relief.Da: Situationen havde været forfærdelig tæt på det uoprettelige.En: The situation had been frightfully close to irreparable.Da: Da angsten fra hændelsen langsomt fortog sig, stod vennerne tilbage med en ny forståelse.En: As the anxiety from the incident slowly faded, the friends were left with a new understanding.Da: Anders havde lært noget vigtigt om ansvar og hvor sårbar livet kan være.En: Anders had learned something important about responsibility and how vulnerable life can be.Da: Han lovede sig selv aldrig mere at undervurdere betydningen af at passe på dem, han holdt af.En: He promised himself never to underestimate the importance of taking care of those he cared about.Da: Freja lagde en hånd på Anders' skulder og sagde roligt: "Vi klarede det".En: Freja placed a hand on Anders' shoulder and said calmly, "We did it."Da: Lars, der nu følte sig meget bedre, smilede svagt og tilføjede: "Måske skulle jeg bare holde mig til pandekager næste gang."En: Lars, now feeling much better, smiled faintly and added, "Maybe I should just stick to pancakes next time."Da: Sammen fortsatte de deres dag, taknemmelige for at de havde hinanden og for at hele oplevelsen endte godt.En: Together they continued their day, grateful that they had each other and that the whole experience ended well.Da: Solen skinnede stadig over Tivoli Gardens, og mens de gik videre, vidste de, at deres bånd var blevet endnu stærkere.En: The sun still shone over Tivoli Gardens, and as they moved on, they knew their bond had become even stronger.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: A Spinning Surprise: Kasper's Artful Adventure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-08-09-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: På en solskinsrig sommerdag besluttede Kasper, Signe og Mikkel sig for at besøge Københavns Kunstmuseum.En: On a sunny summer day, Kasper, Signe, and Mikkel decided to visit the Københavns Kunstmuseum (Copenhagen Art Museum).Da: Museet, med sine høje lofter og lyse rum, tilbød ro fra byens larm.En: The museum, with its high ceilings and bright rooms, offered a respite from the noise of the city.Da: Kasper gik ofte på sådanne ture med sine venner, altid ivrig efter at dele sin kærlighed til kunst.En: Kasper often went on such trips with his friends, always eager to share his love of art.Da: Denne særlige dag, følte han, ville han endelig imponere dem med sin viden.En: On this particular day, he felt like he would finally impress them with his knowledge.Da: Da de trådte ind i en sal med moderne kunst, blev Kaspers opmærksomhed fanget af en stor installation.En: As they entered a hall of modern art, Kasper's attention was caught by a large installation.Da: Det var en rund struktur med spejle og lys, der skiftede farver.En: It was a round structure with mirrors and lights that changed colors.Da: Han gik tættere på, nysgerrig som altid.En: He moved closer, curious as always.Da: "Se," sagde Kasper og vendte sig mod Signe og Mikkel, "det her værk er kendt for at udfordre vores perspektiv.En: "Look," said Kasper turning to Signe and Mikkel, "this piece is known for challenging our perspective.Da: Det symboliserer den konstante forandring i livet."En: It symbolizes the constant change in life."Da: Han ønskede at lyde selvsikker, men kunne have gjort sig mere umage med undersøgelsen af værket.En: He wanted to sound confident but could have made more effort to research the piece.Da: Mikkel lo, "Så hvorfor hopper du ikke ind og viser os, hvad du mener?"En: Mikkel laughed, "So why don't you jump in and show us what you mean?"Da: Det var sagt for sjov, men inden Kasper vidste af det, stod han inde i installationen.En: It was said in jest, but before Kasper knew it, he was standing inside the installation.Da: Pludselig satte det hele i gang og begyndte at dreje rundt.En: Suddenly, it all started up and began to spin around.Da: "Signe!En: "Signe!Da: Mikkel!En: Mikkel!Da: Hjælp!"En: Help!"Da: råbte han, mens installationen snurrede hurtigere.En: he shouted, as the installation spun faster.Da: Hans forsøg på at virke uanfægtet mislykkedes nu spektakulært.En: His attempt to appear unfazed was now failing spectacularly.Da: Signe og Mikkel kunne ikke holde latteren tilbage.En: Signe and Mikkel couldn't hold back their laughter.Da: Mikkel rakte telefonen op og filmede det hele, mens Signe prøvede at få kontakt med en museumsmedarbejder.En: Mikkel raised his phone and filmed the whole thing, while Signe tried to get in touch with a museum staff member.Da: Endelig, efter hvad der føltes som en evighed for Kasper, kom en forbløffet museumsvagt til undsætning.En: Finally, after what felt like an eternity for Kasper, a bewildered museum guard came to the rescue.Da: "Vi arbejder på det," smilede hun.En: "We're working on it," she smiled.Da: Med et klik var mekanismen slukket og Kasper humpede ud, lidt svimmel men helskindet.En: With a click, the mechanism was turned off and Kasper hobbled out, a bit dizzy but unharmed.Da: "Er du okay?"En: "Are you okay?"Da: spurgte Signe med et smil, da han kom nærmere.En: asked Signe with a smile, as he came closer.Da: Kasper grinede og kastede hænderne op i vejret.En: Kasper laughed and threw his hands up in the air.Da: "Ja, ja.En: "Yes, yes.Da: Alt i orden.En: Everything's fine.Da: Måske skulle jeg holde mig til at kigge."En: Maybe I should stick to just looking."Da: Deres latter løsnede den sidste knude af forlegenhed hos ham.En: Their laughter loosened the last knot of embarrassment in him.Da: Det der kunne have været en pinlig oplevelse blev i stedet en, som de længe grinede af.En: What could have been an embarrassing experience instead became one they laughed about for a long time.Da: Kasper lærte, at imponerende venner ikke altid betød, at man skulle være perfekt.En: Kasper learned that impressing friends didn't always mean having to be perfect.Da: Hans humor og selvironi var alt, hvad de behøvede.En: His humor and self-irony were all they needed.Da: Da de forlod museet, gik Kasper ud med et nyt perspektiv.En: As they left the museum, Kasper walked out with a new perspective.Da: Måske var det installationen alligevel, der havde ramt hovedet på sømmet – forandring var uundgåelig, men det kunne også være sjovt.En: Perhaps it was the installation after all that hit the nail on the head — change was inevitable, but it could also be fun.

trappen og bød alle velkommen til den første dag af den obligatoriske sommerworkshop.En: The principal stood on the stairs and welcomed everyone to the first day of the mandatory summer workshop.Da: Solen strålede gennem skolens store vinduer og kastede lyspletter over de gamle murstensvægge i klasselokalet.En: The sun shone through the school's large windows, casting patches of light over the old brick walls in the classroom.Da: Freja sad ved et af de kraftige træborde i klasselokalet og prøvede at undertrykke sommerfuglene i maven.En: Freja sat at one of the sturdy wooden tables in the classroom, trying to suppress the butterflies in her stomach.Da: Hun havde valgt et sted tæt på tavlen, klar til at notere det mindste ord fra underviseren.En: She had chosen a spot close to the blackboard, ready to jot down even the smallest word from the instructor.Da: Hun ønskede at imponere alle, især lærerne, for hun drømte om at være den bedste elev i klassen.En: She wanted to impress everyone, especially the teachers, for she dreamed of being the best student in the class.Da: Lidt ved siden af hende sad Magnus.En: A little way to her side sat Magnus.Da: Han lænede sig tilbage i stolen, med en lidt fjern mine.En: He leaned back in his chair with a somewhat distant look.Da: "Hvorfor er vi her overhovedet?"En: "Why are we here at all?"Da: mumlede han, da læreren begyndte at tale om dagens gruppearbejdsprojekt.En: he mumbled, as the teacher began talking about the day's group project.Da: Freja skævede lidt tvivlsomt til ham.En: Freja glanced somewhat doubtfully at him.Da:

af dagen.En: The group project was to be presented at the end of the day.Da: Freja besluttede hurtigt, at hun ville tage styringen for at sikre, at projektet blev en succes.En: Freja quickly decided

kan komme langt, hvis vi arbejder struktureret," sagde hun opmuntrende til Magnus.En: "I think we can go far if we work in a structured way," she said encouragingly to Magnus.Da: Magnus nikkede, men virkede stadig lidt uengageret.En: Magnus nodded but still seemed a bit disengaged.Da: Freja forsøgte at inkludere ham, men fik mest korte svar.En: Freja tried to include him but mostly got short replies.Da: Hun var bange for, at arbejdet ville mislykkes, hvis Magnus ikke gik op i det.En: She was afraid the work would fail if Magnus didn't get involved.Da: Da fremlæggelsens tid kom, blev Freja mere og mere nervøs.En: As the presentation time came, Freja became more and more nervous.Da: Hun startede stærkt, men hendes stemme dirrede lidt.En: She started off strong, but her voice wavered a bit.Da: Pludselig stoppede Magnus hende midt i sætningen.En: Suddenly, Magnus interrupted her mid-sentence.Da: "Må jeg lige vise noget?"En: "May I just show something?"Da: spurgte han, med en helt anderledes glød i øjnene.En: he asked, with a completely different glow in his eyes.Da: Han rettede en projektor mod tavlen og tændte for skærmen.En: He aimed a projector at the board and turned on the screen.Da: En farverig præsentation fyldt med deres projektdata og grafik kom til syne.En: A colorful presentation filled with their project data and graphics appeared.Da: Freja kunne ikke tro sine egne øjne.En: Freja couldn't believe her eyes.Da: Magnus havde tydeligvis arbejdet i det skjulte og tilføjet en vis kreativitet, som hun slet ikke havde forventet.En: Magnus had obviously been working in secret and added a creativity that she hadn't expected.Da: Alle i klassen, inklusiv læreren, så meget imponerede ud og klappede, da de var færdige.En: Everyone in the class, including the teacher, looked very impressed and applauded when they were done.Da: Efter fremlæggelsen kom læreren hen til dem.En: After the presentation, the teacher came over to them.Da: "Fantastisk samarbejde," sagde hun.En: "Fantastic collaboration," she said.Da: Freja kiggede på Magnus med et nyt syn.En: Freja looked at Magnus with a new perspective.Da: På vej ud af klassen takkede Freja Magnus for hans overraskende bidrag.En: On the way out of the class, Freja thanked Magnus for his surprising contribution.Da: "Jeg troede ikke, du var interesseret," sagde hun med et lille smil.En: "I didn't think

Lucas 10: 33, RVCHace poco mis sobrinas me enseñaron su canción favorita: «El ratón samaritano, de Francisco Orantes. Cuenta que un grillo había sido asaltado y herido por unas hormigas. Una langosta y otro grillo que pasaban por el camino lo ignoraron, mientras que un ratón se detuvo y lo ayudó.Esta versión del Buen Samaritano para niños, me llevó a preguntarme: ¿por qué Jesús escogió un sacerdote, un levita y un samaritano para su historia? La elección parece arbitraria; bien pudieron haber sido un profeta, un príncipe y un soldado. Sin embargo, al seleccionar a estos protagonistas, Jesús quiso enseñarnos el verdadero significado de la palabra «prójimo».El primero en pasar junto al malherido viajero fue un sacerdote. Su estatus lo convierte en un excelente candidato para ayudar al herido, «pero al verlo, dio un rodeo y siguió adelante» (Lucas 10: 31). Jesús no dice por qué el sacerdote no quiso ayudar, así que no sirve de mucho especular. Todo parece indicar que la función del sacerdote en la historia es elevar nuestras expectativas para luego desvanecerlas.El segundo personaje es un levita, que al tener un rango inferior al sacerdocio suscita menos expectativas. Pero como este tampoco ofrece ayuda, la situación del herido parece perdida.Es en este punto donde la historia da un giro sorpresivo. El patrón lógico de la época hubiera sido sacerdote-levita-israelita, y que este último brindara ayuda al herido. Pero el Maestro introduce un personaje inesperado. Dada la amarga rivalidad que existía entre judíos y samaritanos, un samaritano era la última persona de la que los oyentes esperarían ayuda. Pero el samaritano, «al verlo, sintió compasión» (Lucas 10: 33) y lo socorrió.Para Jesús, la esencia de ser «prójimo» consiste en tener la sensibilidad de ver una necesidad y satisfacerla incluso cuando no es lo que se espera de nosotros. Y solo la compasión puede llevarnos a ponernos en los zapatos del otro e impulsarnos a actuar en su beneficio. Pero hay más. El contexto de la parábola es el segundo gran mandamiento: «ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo» (Lucas 10: 27), por lo que la compasión abnegada es la definición de ese amor que Dios espera de ti y de mí. Así las cosas, las palabras finales de Jesús constituyen la mejor conclusión en este día: «Ve y haz tú lo mismo» (Lucas 10: 37).

Transcript:Da: Luften var fyldt med duften af friskbrygget kaffe, og cafégæsterne talte dæmpet med hinanden.En: The air was filled with the scent of freshly brewed coffee, and the café guests spoke quietly with each other.Da: Mikkel, Freja og Soren sad ved et af de små borde i den hyggelige café i Nyhavn.En: Mikkel, Freja, and Soren sat at one of the small tables in the cozy café in Nyhavn.Da: Gennem vinduet kunne de se de farverige huse langs kanalen og nyde det sommerlige skær.En: Through the window, they could see the colorful houses along the canal and enjoy the summery glow.Da: Pludselig bemærkede Mikkel en mystisk kuvert ved siden af deres kaffekopper.En: Suddenly, Mikkel noticed a mysterious envelope next to their coffee cups.Da: Den var helt anonym, kun med deres bordnummer skrevet med en sirlig håndskrift.En: It was completely anonymous, only with their table number written in a neat handwriting.Da: Nysgerrig som altid tog Mikkel kuverten op og åbnede den forsigtigt.En: Curious as always, Mikkel picked up the envelope and opened it carefully.Da: Indeni fandt de et stykke papir med en gådefuld besked og instruktioner.En: Inside, they found a piece of paper with an enigmatic message and instructions.Da: "Dette er starten på et eventyr," stod der.En: "This is the start of an adventure," it read.Da: "Følg ledetrådene, og opdag Københavns hemmeligheder."En: "Follow the clues, and discover Copenhagen's secrets."Da: Mikkel's øjne lyste op.En: Mikkel's eyes lit up.Da: "Det er lige præcis det, jeg har brug for!En: "This is exactly what I need!Da: Lad os finde ud af, hvad det her handler om!"En: Let's find out what this is about!"Da: udbrød han ivrigt.En: he exclaimed eagerly.Da: Freja kiggede skeptisk på ham.En: Freja looked at him skeptically.Da: "Det kunne være en spøg," sagde hun.En: "It could be a prank," she said.Da: Men noget i hende længtes efter eventyr.En: But something in her longed for adventure.Da: Soren, der elskede historie og hemmeligheder, blev hurtigt interesseret.En: Soren, who loved history and secrets, quickly became interested.Da: "Måske er der noget rigtigt her," sagde han og overvejede.En: "Maybe there's something real here," he said, contemplating.Da: De besluttede at følge instruktionerne.En: They decided to follow the instructions.Da: Den første ledetråd førte dem til en gammel brolagt gyde, hvor de fandt en inskription på en væg.En: The first clue led them to an old cobbled alley, where they found an inscription on a wall.Da: Derfra gik turen videre fra spor til spor gennem Københavns gader.En: From there, the journey continued from clue to clue through Copenhagen's streets.Da: På deres vej stødte de på udfordringer, hvor Mikkels drømmefyldte blik stødte mod Frejas skeptiske syn og Sorens forsigtige anvendelse af historisk viden.En: Along their way, they encountered challenges, where Mikkel's dream-filled gaze clashed with Freja's skeptical view and Soren's cautious application of historical knowledge.Da: Efter flere stop fandt de endelig en skjult gård midt i byen.En: After several stops, they finally found a hidden courtyard in the middle of the city.Da: Her, bag en altan dækket af grønne slyngplanter, opdagede de en gammel artefakt.En: Here, behind a balcony covered with green climbing plants, they discovered an old artifact.Da: Det var en del af byens fortid, en skat knyttet til Københavns lange historie.En: It was part of the city's past, a treasure tied to Copenhagen's long history.Da: Mikkel strålede af stolthed.En: Mikkel beamed with pride.Da: "Vi gjorde det!"En: "We did it!"Da: Freja kunne ikke andet end at smile til sidst.En: Freja couldn't help but smile in the end.Da: "Måske er der mere i livet end det forudsigelige," indrømmede hun stille.En: "Maybe there's more to life than the predictable," she admitted quietly.Da: Soren, der så artefakten med sine historiske øjne, vidste, at det var noget helt særligt.En: Soren, who saw the artifact through his historical eyes, knew it was something truly special.Da: "Vi må kontakte museet," sagde han bestemt.En: "We must contact the museum," he said firmly.Da: Da de afleverede deres fund til museet, blev de hyldet som opdagere.En: When they delivered their find to the museum, they were hailed as discoverers.Da: Deres eventyr havde bragt dem sammen og åbnet nye horisonter.En: Their adventure had brought them together and opened up new horizons.Da: Mikkel fandt modet til at forfølge sine lidenskaber.En: Mikkel found the courage to pursue his passions.Da: Freja lærte at omfavne det uventede, og Soren opdagede spændingen ved at træde uden for de trygge rammer.En: Freja learned to embrace the unexpected, and Soren discovered the thrill of stepping outside of the safe zones.Da: Eventyret i sommersolen var slut, men mindet om mysteriet ville leve videre i deres hjerter.En: The adventure in the summer sun was over, but the memory of the mystery would live on in their hearts.Da: Cafėens lyde og dufte blev nu forbundet med venskab, mod og opdagelse, en del af deres historie i hjertet af København.En: The café's sounds and scents became now

As Universidades da Califórnias em parceria com o Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical da Universidade Nova de Lisboa e a Universidade de São Tomé e Príncipe têm vindo a estudar nos últimos anos a possibilidade de libertar um mosquito geneticamente modificado cujo organismo elimina a malária. Os estudos prévios estão quase concluídos e só falta agora as autoridades do país autorizarem a libertação deste mosquito na natureza para verificar a eficácia na erradicação do paludismo. Só em 2024 foram detectados mais de 263 milhões de casos de malária no Mundo que levaram a 597 mil mortes, segundo dados da Organização Mundial de Saúde. Dessas mortes, estimam-se que 95% tenham acontecido em África o que torna a malária, uma doença sem vacina mas que pode ser tratada com os medicamentos adequados, uma das doenças mais preocupantes no continente. Os investigadores das Universidades da Califórnia pensam ter descoberto uma solução, modificando geneticamente o mosquito Anopheles, que transmite a malária. O organismo deste insecto geneticamente modificado passa a eliminar sozinho o parasita que transmitido aos humanos causa o paludismo e essa característica torna-se um gene dominante, fazendo com que toda a população de mosquitos de um determinado local deixe de propagar esta doença. "Este mosquito é um mosquito em tudo idêntico ao mosquito que já existe aqui em São Tomé e Príncipe, mas com uma diferença notável: ele tem dois genes benéficos e sintéticos que são introduzidos no mosquito através de um mecanismo de engenharia genética que se designa por 'gene drive'. O 'gene drive' vai transportar os genes benéficos e integrá-los no genoma do mosquito com precisão, ou seja, nós sabemos exactamente onde é que ele vai ser integrado, mas o drive tem um papel dual, não só a integração dos genes benéficos dentro do mosquito, mas também à dispersão destes genes na população", explicou João Pinto, professor auxiliar e chefe da unidade de Entomologia Médica do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical da Universidade Nova de Lisboa. João Pinto lidera as operações de campo nas ilhas de São Tomé e Príncipe, selando assim a parceria com a Universidade Nova de Lisboa e também a Universidade de São Tomé e Príncipe onde este projecto, que se chama UCMI - Universidade da Califórnia - Iniciativa Contra a Malária em STP, instalou um laboratório molecular e onde investigadores locais trabalham lado a lado com investigadores portugueses, norte-americanos e ainda outras nacionalidades. Antes de qualquer trabalho de campo, os investigadores levaram a cabo um estudo de forma a determinar onde se poderiam levar a cabo as primeiras experiências e foram analisados mais de 20 arquipélagos e ilhas, tendo a escolha final recaído em São Tomé e Príncipe devido à presença da malária, do mosquito Anopheles, mas também a própria dimensão das duas ilhas. Assim, desde 2021 que estão a ser levadas a cabo experiências laboratoriais no país e estudos preparatórios sem que ainda tenha havido qualquer libertação de mosquitos na natureza. Os estudos preparatórios terminam dentro de alguns meses e a equipa quer agora passar à fase de libertação na ilha do Príncipe, mas ainda precisa de luz verde das autoridades. "Até à data o UCMI não libertou nenhum mosquito modificado em São Tomé e Príncipe, nem sequer iniciou a sua produção. A primeira fase, que era precisamente uma fase que enquadrava três actividades principais as pesquisas científicas, a capacitação técnica de infraestruturas, de recursos humanos e o engajamento comunitário e das partes interessadas é uma fase que está em vias de conclusão. Dentro de alguns meses teremos essa fase já perfeitamente concluída e teremos que efectivamente passar para a segunda fase. Passar para a segunda fase carece de autorização de aprovação do Governo São Tomé e Príncipe. E é nisso que temos vindo a trabalhar e contamos ter uma resposta nos próximos meses sobre se de facto havemos de avançar ou não. Se avançarmos, teremos que implementar essencialmente duas actividades a primeira, que é a produção do próprio mosquito modificado, que será produzido aqui em São Tomé, com base num mosquito que se encontra em São Tomé e através de tecnologia que será implementada em São Tomé, nomeadamente no Laboratório de Biologia Molecular da Universidade de São Tomé e Príncipe. Uma vez concretizada a produção de um mosquito modificado, então aí sim, teríamos que avançar para uma fase de libertação experimental. Gostaríamos de iniciar na Ilha do Príncipe e uma vez havendo uma libertação experimental, teríamos depois todo um processo de acompanhamento da situação que nunca será inferior a três anos, entre três a cinco anos e a nossa expectativa", detalhou João Pinto. A libertação de mosquitos geneticamente modificados é algo que pode assustar uma parte da população e, por isso, o UCMI tem trabalhado nos últimos anos junto das comunidades no país para explicar que os mosquitos não vão desaparecer nem deixar de picar as pessoas, vão sim, segundo os estudos levados a cabo até agora, deixar de transmitir o parasita da malária. "É importante fazermos esse engajamento e sensibilização comunitária não só no âmbito do projecto, mas como do paludismo em si. Porque nós constatámos no início do projecto que na comunidade poucas pessoas sabem como é que ocorre o processo de transmissão do paludismo. E associado a isso nós estamos a propor um projecto de tecnologia para combater paludismo, onde é preciso nós sensibilizarmos e continuarmos a informar e explicar às pessoas sobre esta tecnologia", explicou Lodney Nazaré, ponto focal do Envolvimento do UCMI em São Tomé e Príncipe. Ouça aqui Lodney Nazaré: Entre as acções de sensibilização há actividades que consistem em levar microscópios às crianças para que possam ver os mosquitos e compreender como se processa a transmissão do parasita. Actualmente em São Tomé e Príncipe não há óbitos devido à doença, mas há ainda muitas pessoas que ficam doentes, colocando não só as suas vidas em risco, mas também a subsistência das famílias já que muitas mães e pais de família têm de deixar de trabalhar no período de convalescença da doença. Caso o Governo de São Tomé e Príncipe autorize a passagem à segunda fase deste projecto, o país tornar-se-ia um caso de estudo mundial já que nada assim foi ainda tentado noutro território. O UCMI espera agora a resposta das autoridades, tendo já elucidade uma grande parte da população. "A maneira como as pessoas reagem e questionam o procjeto mostra claramente o progresso que há naquilo que é o trabalho de engajamento que nós temos vindo a fazer. A primeira vez que o projeto foi apresentado em São Tomé, as questões eram mais difíceis de responder, fruto também do desconhecimento total daquilo que o projecto estava está a propor. [...] No ano passado chegámos ao estágio em que alguns membros comunitários já fizeram, inclusive vídeos comunitários, a solicitar que devêssemos avançar com o projeto. Dada a compreensão que eles obtiveram do próprio projecto. Não sei se no final teremos um grupo de pessoas advogar junto ao governo sobre o projecto, mas nós de facto esperamos que isso aconteça e quem sabe isso poderá ajudar o governo a decidir sobre o futuro do projecto", concluiu Lodney Nazaré.

Transcript:Da: Som aftensolen begyndte at bøje sine stråler over Nyhavn, stod Astrid klar med sine pensler.En: As the evening sun began to bend its rays over Nyhavn, Astrid stood ready with her brushes.Da: Sommerluften var varm og brisen let.En: The summer air was warm and the breeze light.Da: De farverige huse langs kanalen spejlede sig i det stille vand, og det hele så næsten magisk ud.En: The colorful houses along the canal mirrored in the still water, and it all looked almost magical.Da: Astrid var en talentfuld, men kæmpende gadekunstner.En: Astrid was a talented but struggling street artist.Da: Hendes staffeli var opsat på brostensgaden, hvor turister traskede forbi med isvafler og kameraer.En: Her easel was set up on the cobblestone street, where tourists strolled by with ice cream cones and cameras.Da: Nyhavn emmede af liv.En: Nyhavn buzzed with life.Da: Musikken fra en gadeperformer spillede i baggrunden og lød som lyden af sommeraftener i København.En: Music from a

painting.Da: Hun kunne ikke finde forbindelsen mellem sine hænder og lærredet.En: She couldn't find the connection between her hands and the canvas.Da: Det var som om blot at opfange alle de farvestrålende motiver, som Nyhavn tilbød, var en øvelse i det umulige.En: It was as if capturing all the vibrant motifs that Nyhavn offered was an exercise in the impossible.Da: Mange forbipasserende

ikke, Emil.En: "I don't know, Emil.Da: Det hele føles... fjernt," svarede hun ærligt.En: It all feels... distant," she replied honestly.Da: Efter lidt tid besluttede Astrid sig for at ændre sin tilgang.En: After a while, Astrid decided to change her approach.Da: I stedet for at male hele scenen, fokuserede hun på én detalje: et bestemt hus med røde skodder og en ældgammel historie.En: Instead of painting the entire scene, she focused on one detail: a particular house with red shutters and an ancient history.Da: Hun begyndte at skitsere de små detaljer, de ornamenterede vinduer og de bløde skift i farvenuancer.En: She began sketching the small details, the ornamented windows, and the soft shifts in color tones.Da: Netop da hun begyndte at male igen, overhørte hun en samtale mellem to ældre mænd om netop dette hus.En: Just as she began to paint again, she overheard a conversation between two elderly men about this very house.Da: Det havde engang været hjemsted for en berømt dansk digter, lærte Astrid.En: It had once been home to a famous Danish poet, Astrid learned.Da: Historien, der blev fortalt med entusiasme og kærlighed, tændte en gnist i hende.En: The story, told with enthusiasm and love, ignited a spark in her.Da: Pludselig så hun huset med nye øjne, og hendes pensler begyndte at danse over lærredet.En: Suddenly, she saw the house with new eyes, and her brushes began to dance across the canvas.Da: I løbet af den næste time flød farverne naturligt fra hendes hånd, og motivet trådte levende frem.En: Over the next hour, the colors flowed naturally from her hand, and the motif came to life.Da: Hendes fokus havde givet hende genopdaget klarhed og glæde.En: Her focus had given her newfound clarity and joy.Da: Hun tegnede med en passion, hun længe ikke havde følt.En: She painted with a passion she hadn't felt in a long time.Da: Da mørket lagde sig over Nyhavn, lagde Astrid penslen til side.En: As darkness settled over Nyhavn, Astrid put her brush

personlig.En: She had succeeded in capturing the place's beauty and spirit in a way that felt genuine and personal.Da: Hun følte sig forbundet med sin kunst og omgivelserne igen.En: She felt connected to her art and surroundings once more.Da: Astrid pakkede sine materialer sammen, mens tilskuere nikkede anerkendende.En: Astrid packed up her materials while onlookers nodded appreciatively.Da: Med et lettet smil vidste hun, at hun havde genfundet sin kærlighed til at male, og hendes selvtillid voksede stille og roligt indeni.En: With a relieved smile, she knew she had rediscovered her love for painting, and her confidence slowly grew within her.Da: Nyhavn havde endnu engang vist hende vejen tilbage til sine kreative rødder.En: Nyhavn had once again shown her the way back to her creative

red.Da: "Jeg tror, der var peanuts i maden," sagde han med en svag stemme.En: "I think there were peanuts in the food," he said in a weak voice.Da: Panikken bredte sig hurtigt.En: Panic spread

slid through the cracks of the open windows in the large family house.Da: Huset lå lidt uden for byen og bar præg af at have oplevet bedre dage.En: The house was located a bit outside the city and bore the marks of having seen better days.Da: Middagstid.En: Dinner time.Da: Familie Middagstid.En: Family Dinner time.Da: Rummet var fyldt med lyden af bestik mod tallerkener, spredte diskussioner og den velkendte knagen af det gamle spisebord.En: The room was filled with the sound of cutlery against plates, scattered discussions, and the familiar creaking of the old dining table.Da: Lars sad stille ved sin ende af bordet.En: Lars sat silently at his end of the table.Da: Han følte det som om vægten af hele verden pressede på hans skuldre.En: He felt as though the weight of the whole world was pressing on his shoulders.Da: Samtalerne omkring ham syntes meningsløse.En: The conversations around him seemed meaningless.Da: Papas traditionelle forventninger, mamas stille skuffelse, søskendes drillerier.En: Papa's traditional expectations, Mama's quiet disappointment, siblings' teasing.Da: Denne gang ville han tale ud.En: This time, he would speak out.Da: Mette, energisk og lys, sad ikke langt fra ham.En: Mette, energetic and bright, sat not far from him.Da: Hendes øjne gled hen over familiemedlemmerne, fanget i deres egne små verdener.En: Her eyes swept over the family members, each caught in their own small worlds.Da: Hun ønskede så inderligt, at familietræffene kunne være en glæde, ikke en byrde.En: She so desperately wished that the family gatherings could be a joy, not a burden.Da: Ikke siden hendes bror rejste væk, havde hun følt en sådan afstand mellem dem alle.En: Not since her brother had left, had she felt such a distance between them all.Da: Pludselig skete det.En: Suddenly it happened.Da: Onkel Jens, som altid var hjertet i maden, tog en drastisk uheldig vending.En: Uncle Jens, who always was the heart of the meal, took a drastic, unfortunate turn.Da:

froze for a moment.Da: Stilheden blev tyk.En: The silence became thick.Da: Så brød kaos ud.En: Then chaos erupted.Da: Mette sprang op.En: Mette jumped up.Da: "Ring efter en ambulance!"En: "Call an ambulance!"Da: beordrede hun.En: she ordered.Da: Hun tog kontrollen, samlede samtlige kræfter sammen.En: She took control, gathering all her strength.Da: Familiens indbyrdes uenigheder blev til støj i periferien, mens de samarbejdede for at hjælpe Jens.En: The family's internal disagreements became noise on the periphery as they worked together to help Jens.Da: Mette fandt et vattæppe, lagde det under hans hoved og forsøgte at holde ham vågen.En: Mette found a blanket, placed it under his head, and tried to keep him awake.Da: Lars, overvældet, som resten, arbejde mekanisk.En: Lars, overwhelmed like the rest, worked mechanically.Da: Men tankerne kørte.En: But his thoughts were racing.Da: Nu eller aldrig.En: Now or never.Da: Inden natten var omme, ville han sige det.En: Before the night was over, he would say it.Da: Han havde set nok gennem kameralinsen til at vide, at øjeblikke som disse definerede folk.En: He had seen enough through the camera lens to know that moments like these defined people.Da: Lars rømmede sig, stemningen stadig ladet af frygt.En: Lars cleared his throat, the atmosphere still charged with fear.Da: "Jeg må sige noget," startede han.En: "I have to say something," he began.Da: Stemmerne, der før havde været så ligeglade, blev nu fokuserede.En: The voices that had been so indifferent before now became focused.Da: "Fotografi betyder noget for mig.En: "Photography means something to me.Da: Jeg vil følge det.En: I want to pursue it.Da: Det er ikke bare en hobby."En: It's not just a hobby."Da: Og som timerne gik, mens ambulancens sirene langsomt fjernede sig, blev stilheden brudt af samtale.En: And as the hours passed, while the sound of the ambulance siren slowly faded away, the silence was broken by conversation.Da: Dybere samtale.En: Deeper conversation.Da: Familierelationer, som havde været så løsnete gennem årene, begyndte at finde deres knuder igen.En: Family ties that had been loosened over the years began to find their knots again.Da: Da natten blev til morgen, og solens første stråler ramte det lille skæve hus, vidste Lars, at noget havde ændret sig.En: As night turned to morning, and the first rays of the sun hit the small crooked house, Lars knew that something had changed.Da: En slags fred.En: A kind of peace.Da: En begyndelse.En: A beginning.Da: Mette så det samme.En: Mette saw the same thing.Da: En ny mulighed for deres familie.En: A new opportunity for their family.Da: Ingen ord kunne beskrive følelsen af håb, som blussede i deres hjerter.En: No words could describe the feeling of hope that flared in their hearts.Da: For i den varme sommernat havde de fundet noget kærkomment.En: For in that warm summer night, they had found something precious.Da: Sammenhold.En: Togetherness.

What's better than a mix from electronic music royalty Cio D'Or? Two mixes. This week we present something very special, a tale told across two chapters. As a mainstay of techno for over two decades, Cio D'Or has consistently pushed boundaries, gracing the decks of revered institutions worldwide and crafting a legendary discography with releases on Prologue, Semantica, Hypnus, Time to Express and more. Across both mixes you will hear Cio's unparalleled ability for sculpting minimalism and sonic architecture, masterfully recontextualizing familiar and obscure tracks alike, breathing new life into them and unveiling hidden dimensions. She dissects, reassembles and creates intricate connections between disparate sounds, all flawlessly executed with an alchemist's touch. Prisma 33 starts at a slower tempo, delicately building into an eruption of psychedelic minimalism. Dada grows with kinetic energy, with Cio sculpting sounds and textures into a deep trip where time seems to bend and dissolve, finishing with an unexpected wildcard that only a master selector could make work.

trek, the silence only broken by their steps in the snow.Da: Freja forsøgte at holde samtalen i gang.En: Freja tried to keep the conversation going.Da: Hun spurgte om Magnuss seneste ekskursioner og Lars' nye liv i byen.En: She asked about Magnus's recent excursions and Lars' new life in the city.Da: Dæmpede svar.En: Muffled responses.Da: Afstanden mellem dem føltes stadig.En: The distance between them still felt apparent.Da: Da middagssolen nåede zenit, kastede den et lys hen ad isens overflade, men så skete det uventede.En: When the midday sun reached its zenith, it cast light across the ice's surface, but then the unexpected happened.Da: Skyerne samlede sig hurtigt, vinden tiltog.En: The clouds gathered quickly, the wind picked up.Da: En uventet storm truede.En: An unexpected storm threatened.Da: Sneen føg omkring dem, synligheden blev dårlig.En: Snow blew around them, visibility worsened.Da: "Vi skal finde ly!"En: "We need to find shelter!"Da: råbte Freja med hævede arme.En: shouted Freja with raised arms.Da: Magnus viste vej, hans kendskab til landskabet en livline, og Lars fulgte tæt.En: Magnus led the way, his knowledge of the landscape a lifeline, and Lars followed closely.Da: I en fordybning i isen fandt de endelig et sted at gemme sig mod elementerne.En: In a depression in the ice, they finally found a place to hide from the elements.Da: Sammenkrøb i deres tilflugtssted, konfronterede det voldsomme vejr dem med deres frygt.En: Huddled in their refuge, the violent weather confronted them with their fears.Da: Luften var fyldt med drønnene fra vinden, og i den klaustrofobiske stilhed brød Freja den tavshed, der var trukket med dem i årevis.En: The air was filled with the roar of the wind, and in the claustrophobic silence, Freja broke the silence that had been with them for years.Da: "Jeg savner jer," sagde hun stille, tåren ned ad kinden.En: "I miss you," she said quietly, a tear down her cheek.Da: Magnus kiggede op, hans øjne bløde med følelser.En: Magnus looked up, his eyes soft with emotion.Da: "Jeg er aldrig rigtig taget væk," svarede han.En: "I never really left," he replied.Da: Lars tog en dyb indånding, hans fingerspidser nervøst gribende en islag.En: Lars took a deep breath, his fingertips nervously gripping an ice layer.Da: "Jeg har bare brug for at føle mig hjemme," tilstod han, stemmens kant forsvandt.En: "I just need to feel at home," he confessed, the edge from his voice gone.Da: Denne uventede åbenhed bragte varme i den kolde hule.En: This unexpected openness brought warmth in the cold cave.Da: Deres ord bandt dem langsomt sammen.En: Their words slowly bound them together.Da: Da stormen ebbede ud, og de kunne se igen, besluttede de sig for at vende tilbage.En: As the storm subsided, and they could see again, they decided to return.Da: Vandringen tilbage var fuld af latter og stille forståelse.En: The trek back was full of laughter and quiet understanding.Da: De delte frygt og håb, som isen smeltede under eftermiddagens solstråler.En: They shared fears and hopes, as the ice melted under the afternoon sunrays.Da: Ankommet til udgangspunktet, så de hinanden i øjnene med et nyt bånd.En: Arriving back at their starting point, they looked at each other with a new bond.Da: Freja følte ansvaret for familie falde af hendes skuldre, for nu bar de det sammen.En: Freja felt the responsibility of family lift from her shoulders, for now, they carried it together.Da: Magnus' ansigt strålede af en fred, han længe savnet.En: Magnus's face beamed with a peace he had long missed.Da: Og Lars havde fundet en plads imellem dem, som han længe havde søgt.En: And Lars had found a place among them he had long sought.Da: Samlet, nu mere end nogensinde, stod de ved isens kant og så på hinanden med nyfunden styrke, klar til at tage de næste skridt som en samlet enhed.En: Unified, now more than ever, they stood at the edge of the ice and looked at each other with newfound strength, ready to take the next steps as a united front.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Midsummer Magic: A Blossoming Adventure in Botanisk Have Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-06-22-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Sommerens varme omfavnede København, hvor solen kastede striber af lys gennem trækronerne i Botanisk Have.En: The warmth of summer embraced København, where the sun cast stripes of light through the treetops in Botanisk Have.Da: Her, blandt planter og blomster i alle regnbuens farver, gik Mikkel, Sofie og Lars glade rundt.En: Here, among plants and flowers in all the colors of the rainbow, Mikkel, Sofie, and Lars happily walked around.Da: Det var midsommer, og dagens særlige lys og liv prægede haven med en næsten magisk atmosfære.En: It was midsummer, and the day's special light and life gave the garden an almost magical atmosphere.Da: Mikkel, som drømte om at blive botaniker, havde brugt timer på at studere botanikbøger.En: Mikkel, who dreamed of becoming a botanist, had spent hours studying botany books.Da: Han var fast besluttet på at imponere Sofie, som han havde et blødt punkt for.En: He was determined to impress Sofie, for whom he had a soft spot.Da: "Vidste I, at denne plante..." begyndte Mikkel ivrigt og pegede på en frodig grøn busk, "er kendt for sine medicinske egenskaber?"En: "Did you know that this plant…" Mikkel began eagerly, pointing to a lush green bush, "is known for its medicinal properties?"Da: Sofie lyttede med et venligt smil, mens Lars knipsede billeder af de smukke omgivelser.En: Sofie listened with a friendly smile, while Lars snapped pictures of the beautiful surroundings.Da: Pludselig spottede Mikkel nogle vinstokke, der slyngede sig rundt om en gammel træstamme.En: Suddenly, Mikkel spotted some vines winding around an old tree trunk.Da: "Og disse vinstokke..." sagde han, mens han forsigtigt trådte ind for at vise nærmere.En: "And these vines…" he said, as he carefully stepped in to show them more closely.Da: Men hvad Mikkel ikke havde forudset var, at vinstokkene var mere genstridige end hans entusiasme.En: But what Mikkel hadn't anticipated was that the vines were more stubborn than his enthusiasm.Da: Han snublede uheldigt og fandt sig selv viklet ind i de tykke, grønne stængler.En: He stumbled awkwardly and found himself entangled in the thick, green stems.Da: Sofie kunne ikke holde et lille grin tilbage, og Lars kom til med sit kamera parat.En: Sofie couldn't hold back a small giggle, and Lars approached with his camera ready.Da: I stedet for at stoppe, tog Mikkel en dyb indånding.En: Instead of stopping, Mikkel took a deep breath.Da: "Selvom jeg ser lidt fjollet ud," sagde han oprigtigt, "kan jeg stadig fortælle jer noget interessant."En: "Even though I look a bit silly," he said sincerely, "I can still tell you something interesting."Da: Han pegede til et blomsterbed lidt længere væk, hvor en sjælden blomst foldede sine kronblade ud i solens lys.En: He pointed to a flowerbed a bit further away, where a rare flower was unfolding its petals in the sunlight.Da: "Det er en meget sjælden orkidé," forklarede han med glød, "den findes ikke mange steder i Europa."En: "That is a very rare orchid," he explained with passion, "it is not found in many places in Europe."Da: Sofie's opmærksomhed skiftede hurtigt tilbage til Mikkel, og hendes øjne lyste op af interesse.En: Sofie's attention quickly shifted back to Mikkel, and her eyes lit up with interest.Da: Hun trådte frem for at studere blomsten tættere, fascineret af Mikkels viden og ildhu.En: She stepped forward to study the flower more closely, fascinated by Mikkel's knowledge and enthusiasm.Da: Samtidig hjalp Lars Mikkel med at komme fri fra vinstokkenes greb.En: Meanwhile, Lars helped Mikkel free himself from the grip of the vines.Da: Da de gik videre, med Lars travlt optaget af at tage flere billeder, vendte Sofie sig mod Mikkel.En: As they walked on, with Lars busy taking more pictures, Sofie turned to Mikkel.Da: "Vil du vise mig flere af dine yndlingsplanter?"En: "Would you show me more of your favorite plants?"Da: spurgte hun med et venligt glimt.En: she asked with a friendly glint.Da: Mikkel nikkede ivrigt, glad for at hans ægte passion ikke var gået ubemærket hen.En: Mikkel nodded eagerly, glad that his genuine passion hadn't gone unnoticed.Da: Som de gik videre sammen gennem havens grønne stier, følte Mikkel en nyvunden selvtillid blomstre.En: As they continued together through the garden's green paths, Mikkel felt a newfound confidence bloom.Da: Han havde lært, at ægte passion og oprigtighed sjældent kunne skjules af lidt klodsethed.En: He had learned that true passion and sincerity could rarely be hidden by a bit of clumsiness.Da: I lyset af midsommersolen var det en lektie, der som alt andet i Botanisk Have, groede og blomstrede smukt.En: In the light of the midsummer sun, it was a lesson that, like everything else in Botanisk Have, grew and blossomed beautifully.
