Obnova Ukrajiny by podle odhadů Světové banky měla v příštích deseti letech vyjít na 11,5 bilionu korun. Příležitosti se chtějí chopit i české firmy, jenže i když je teď Česko jedním z nejbližších partnerů Ukrajiny, při „rozdělování byznysového koláče rekonstrukce země“ se na Čechy vůbec nemusí dostat.„Myslím, že to je jedna z unikátních příležitostí, kterou teď máme. Může to být částečná kompenzace i za to, že jsme ztratili trhy v Rusku, že máme v Evropě recesi, dokonce si myslím, že  nám obnova Ukrajiny může částečně pomoci i v ekonomické situaci, ve které dnes Evropa je. Může to být určitý stimul, na kterém se určitě Evropa shodne, který bude financovat a bude se jednat o obrovské prostředky a velké komplexní projekty,“ říká v pořadu Inside Talks expert na průmysl Tomáš Kolář, podle kterého se i pro české firmy jedná o obrovskou příležitost. Inside Talks.

Predikan av Elin Elg Tema: Doften fyllde hela rummet harnosand.pingst.se

Českem rezonuje debata o dostupném bydlení a řešení je možná jednodušší, než se zdá. Místo dotací by stačilo škrtat - na „zbytečném luxusu“ i  mnohdy „zbytečných normách“. Kolik by stál 70metrový byt, pokud by se stavělo skutečně „dostupné a levné bydlení“, propočítal pro Inside Talks Petr Palička, šéf společnosti EP Real Estate, realitní divize holdingu EPH.„Nerad bych vše sváděl jen na normy, tak pojďme počítat. Když si vezmete byt v ne úplně top lokalitě na kraji města, může stát včetně DPH zhruba deset milionů. DPH zaplatí kupující, to jde státu, takže řekněme, že náklady na byt jsou zhruba 9,5 milionu korun. Z toho budou vlastní stavební náklady zhruba 5,5 milionu,“ vysvětluje Petr Palička a počítá dál.Inside Talks.

Story Transcript:Da: Freja stod ved kanten af klipperne og lod blikket glide ud over det vidtstrakte hav.En: Freja stood at the edge of the cliffs and let her gaze wander over the vast sea.Da: Vinden spillede i hendes hår, og solens varme kærtegn fyldte hendes sind med en kortvarig fred.En: The wind played in her hair, and the sun's warm caress filled her mind with a fleeting sense of peace.Da: Denne del af kysten ved Thy National Park var hendes foretrukne sted om sommeren.En: This part of the coast at Thy National Park was her favorite place in the summer.Da: Her kunne hun ofte se sjældne fugle, der kom for at bygge rede på de bølgende klipper.En: Here she could often see rare birds that came to nest on the rolling cliffs.Da: Her ønskede hun at finde fred.En: Here she wished to find tranquility.Da: Men bag hende, på stranden, lød Søren's latter og Elins glade råb.En: But behind her, on the beach, came Søren's laughter and Elin's joyful shouts.Da: Søren, Frejas yngre bror, var altid midtpunkt for opmærksomheden.En: Søren, Freja's younger brother, was always the center of attention.Da: Han elskede sjov og eventyr og ønskede at inddrage alle – især sin ældre, mere tilbagetrukne søster.En: He loved fun and adventure and wanted to include everyone—especially his older, more reserved sister.Da: "Freja, kom, vi mangler dig til vikingegolf!"En: "Freja, come, we need you for viking golf!"Da: råbte Søren ivrigt.En: shouted Søren eagerly.Da: Freja sukkede lidt, men vidste, at hun måtte hjælpe med at sætte picnicen op, før hun kunne stikke af til sit eget hjørne af paradis.En: Freja sighed a little but knew she had to help set up the picnic before she could sneak away to her own corner of paradise.Da: Tiden gik, og tæpper blev lagt ud, kurve blev åbnet, og snart duftede luften af nybagt brød og friskfangede fisk.En: Time passed, blankets were laid out, baskets opened, and soon the air smelled of freshly baked bread and freshly caught fish.Da: Da de endelig var sat, med en undskyldning om at skulle tjekke noget, sneg Freja sig væk mod de mere isolerede klippeformationer.En: When they were finally settled, with an excuse to check something, Freja snuck away toward the more isolated rock formations.Da: Her, omgivet af bølgernes brusen, fandt hun sin plads.En: Here, surrounded by the roar of the waves, she found her spot.Da: Hun satte sig stille og tog sin kikkert frem.En: She sat quietly and took out her binoculars.Da: Hendes hjerte sprang ved synet af en sjælden havørn, majestætisk og stolt, der kredsede højt over hende.En: Her heart leaped at the sight of a rare sea eagle, majestic and proud, circling high above her.Da: I sin iver fordybede hun sig i dette magiske øjeblik, men i et øjebliks glæde kaldte hun på sin bror for at få del i synet.En: In her excitement, she got caught up in this magical moment, but in a moment of joy, she called for her brother to share in the sight.Da: "Søren!En: "Søren!Da: Se, se der!"En: Look, look there!"Da: råbte hun og glemte for en kort stund sin trang til isolation.En: she shouted, forgetting for a brief moment her urge for isolation.Da: Søren's nysgerrighed udløste en kædereaktion.En: Søren's curiosity triggered a chain reaction.Da: Hele familien rejste sig, greb deres kikkerter og strømmede hen mod Frejas sted.En: The whole family got up, grabbed their binoculars, and streamed toward Freja's spot.Da: Freja så til, bange for at de ville skræmme fuglen væk.En: Freja watched, afraid they would scare the bird away.Da: Men til hendes overraskelse satte de sig lydløst ved siden af hende.En: But to her surprise, they sat down quietly beside her.Da: Sammen, næsten åndeløse, delte de synet af havørnen.En: Together, almost breathless, they shared the sight of the sea eagle.Da: Øjeblikket blev et, hvor stilhed talte højere end ord.En: The moment became one where silence spoke louder than words.Da: Freja følte en ny forståelse vokse i sig.En: Freja felt a new understanding grow within her.Da: Måske kunne hendes familie være en del af denne skønhed, uden at den blev ødelagt.En: Perhaps her family could be part of this beauty without ruining it.Da: Da havørnen til sidst svævede væk, blev hun siddende og følte en uventet varme risle gennem sig.En: When the sea eagle finally soared away, she remained seated, feeling an unexpected warmth trickle through her.Da: I løbet af eftermiddagen gik de roligt tilbage til picnicen.En: Throughout the afternoon, they walked calmly back to the picnic.Da: Fuglene fløj rundt dem, og Freja smilede til Søren, som om hun havde fundet en dybere forbindelse til både naturen og sin familie.En: Birds flew around them, and Freja smiled at Søren, as if she had found a deeper connection to both nature and her family.Da: Midt i latteren

Varman osakesijoituksista peräti 37 prosenttia kohdistuu pörssin ulkopuolisiin yhtiöihin, joko pääomasijoituksiin tai noteeraamattomiin osakkeisiin. Vuodesta 2010 ei-listatun markkinan osuus Varman osakesalkussa on kaksinkertaistunut.”Tämä on yksi isoimpia rakenteellisia muutoksia, mitä salkussa on tapahtunut viimeisen viidentoista vuoden aikana, ja se on tapahtunut yhtä aikaa sen muutoksen kanssa, että privaattimarkkinan rooli transformaatiossa korostuu. Pörssiyhtiöstä on tullut vähän hankala byrokraattinen elin”, Varman toimitusjohtaja Risto Murto sanoo.”Jos haluaa tehdä oikein kunnon transformaatiota, yhtiö otetaan pois listoilta ja tehdään muutokset. Mahdollisesti palataan pörssiin – tai ei palata”, hän sanoo.Grillin äärellä Risto Murto kertoo myös muun muassa Suomen merkitystä Varmalle, vastaa hedgerahastoja kohtaan esitettyyn kritiikkiin ja toivoo suomalaiselta sijoittajayhteisöltä aktiivisuutta. Entä mikä on hänelle se osake, joka olisi pitänyt myydä?

skilt med navnet hans.En: She was holding up a small sign with his name on it.No: Ved siden av henne sto Sofia, niesa hans.En: Next to her stood Sofia, his niece.No: Oskar smilte, men hjertet

En av de största utmaningarna för en mer hållbar textilindustri är den begränsade insynen i värdekedjan. Med EU:s Ekodesigndirektiv tar arbetet nu fart med att införa digitala produktpass, ett verktyg som kan samla och tillgängliggöra relevant information om en produkts livscykel. Men hur kan företag använda detta nya regelverk som en drivkraft för innovation och affärsutveckling?GS1 Sweden arbetar med globala standarder som möjliggör strukturerad informationsdelning, ökad transparens och spårbarhet i värdekedjor. Tillsammans med bland andra Filippa K och Axfoundation driver GS1 Sweden initiativet The Fiber Traceability Initiative, där de utforskar hur en transparent informationskedja för ullplagg kan fungera i praktiken.I studion möter vi Karolin Catela från GS1 Sweden och Elin Dahl Sandrén från Filippa K. De berättar om insikterna från pilotprojektet och hur digitala produktpass, med stöd av globala standarder, kan skapa värde i allt från design och produktion till återförsäljning och cirkulära affärsmodeller.Programledare: Christian von Essen // Läs mer på hejaframtiden.se och prenumerera på nyhetsbrevet!Avsnittet produceras i samarbete med GS1 Sweden.

“A Place Where There Are Not Words” is episode 27, emerging from one of several encounters with Elin McCready in Tokyo. Besides researching language inside and outside of academia, she's a member of the collectives WAIFU and SLICK. I met Elin during my first few weeks in Japan. I also remember the nuance Elin made regarding safe spaces. It is not the same to say “a safe space to” or “a safe space from.” She would also tell me that identity politics are one thing and personal interactions are quite another. The way in which these contradict each other is something that comes up in many conversations with friends. It often reminds me of an idea by val flores, which I saw expressed in Tokyo with a vivid image of snow on a cherry blossom tree. We must learn to live with contradictory instructions. Our conversation for this podcast started with the Fueiho Law. It was introduced in 1948 to police nightlife in Japan, banning dancing at specific hours. The club scene in Japan is all about music, as Elin says. Dancing does not mean the same thing in every city, venue or moment in life. A rave is political if its ravers do political action. The same goes for art. Editing the podcast of someone who is so conscious of language, created even more questions. Each voice is a collection of many others. I also believe that we have many voices within us, even contradictory ones.

Transcript:Sv: Det var vår i vikingabyn vid fjorden, och hela världen verkade vakna till liv.En: It was spring in the Viking village by the fjord, and the whole world seemed to awaken to life.Sv: Trähusen med sina grästäckta tak ståtlade i det milda vårsolskenet, och ängarna blommade så smått med vilda blommor.En: The wooden houses with their grass-covered roofs stood proudly in the gentle spring sunshine, and the meadows slowly blossomed with wildflowers.Sv: Luften var frisk, fylld med doften av havet och nybakat bröd, medan byborna hektiskt förberedde sig inför Midsommar och den stora släktträffen.En: The air was fresh, filled with the scent of the sea and freshly baked bread, as the villagers busily prepared for Midsommar and the great family gathering.Sv: Lars, en ung smed, arbetade flitigt i sin smedja.En: Lars, a young blacksmith, worked diligently in his forge.Sv: Han ville smida ett vackert svärd till träffen, något som skulle bevisa hans färdigheter.En: He wanted to forge a beautiful sword for the gathering, something that would prove his skills.Sv: Men han stötte snart på problem.En: But he soon encountered problems.Sv: Smedjan var i dåligt skick, och han saknade särskilda material för att skapa det legendariska vikingasvärdet han drömde om.En: The forge was in poor condition, and he lacked the specific materials to create the legendary Viking sword he dreamed of.Sv: Hans syster, Kajsa, var i full fart med att förbereda maten för den kommande festen.En: His sister, Kajsa, was busy preparing the food for the upcoming feast.Sv: Hon var känd i byn för att vara en mästerlig kock och kunde organisera en fest som ingen annan.En: She was known in the village for being a masterful cook and could organize a feast like no one else.Sv: "Lars, kom och smaka," ropade hon och pekade på en korg fylld med färskt bröd.En: "Lars, come and taste," she called, pointing to a basket filled with fresh bread.Sv: "Inte nu, Kajsa," svarade Lars med ett litet leende.En: "Not now, Kajsa," replied Lars with a small smile.Sv: "Jag måste hitta speciella material.En: "I must find special materials.Sv: Utan dem blir svärdet inte färdigt."En: Without them, the sword will not be finished."Sv: Medan Lars förberedde sig för att ge sig ut på en liten resa, kom deras yngre kusin Elin springande till smedjan.En: As Lars prepared to set out on a small journey, their younger cousin Elin came running to the forge.Sv: Hennes ögon glittrade av nyfikenhet.En: Her eyes sparkled with curiosity.Sv: "Får jag följa med, Lars?"En: "Can I come with you, Lars?"Sv: frågade hon ivrigt.En: she asked eagerly.Sv: "Jag vill lära mig mer om vår släkts historia."En: "I want to learn more about our family's history."Sv: "Tyvärr, Elin," sa Lars medan han målmedvetet packade ner sina saker.En: "Unfortunately, Elin," said Lars as he purposefully packed his things.Sv: "Denna gång måste jag gå ensam.En: "This time I must go alone.Sv: Jag måste skynda mig tillbaka innan träffen börjar."En: I must hurry back before the gathering begins."Sv: Lars begav sig iväg, och vägarna var långa.En: Lars set off, and the roads were long.Sv: Han vandrade genom skog och över fält, allt för att hitta de material han behövde.En: He wandered through forests and across fields, all to find the materials he needed.Sv: Tid förlorades, och stilla undrade han om han skulle hinna tillbaka i tid för firandet.En: Time was lost, and he quietly wondered if he would make it back in time for the celebration.Sv: När Lars äntligen återvände, var gryningen över Midsommardagen nära.En: When Lars finally returned, the dawn of Midsommar Day was near.Sv: Han svettades lätt och undrade om hans ansträngning skulle löna sig.En: He was lightly sweating and wondered if his efforts would pay off.Sv: Hans händer var tomma, och svärdet var ännu ofärdigt.En: His hands were empty, and the sword was still unfinished.Sv: Men ändå bestämde Lars sig för att visa sitt arbete vid släktträffen.En: Yet Lars decided to show his work at the family gathering.Sv: Han lyfte det halvfärdiga svärdet inför alla och förklarade processen.En: He lifted the half-finished sword before everyone and explained the process.Sv: Hans ögon strålade av stolthet, trots ofullständigheten.En: His eyes beamed with pride, despite the incompleteness.Sv: De åskådarna, som till en början hade tystnat, bröt ut i ett småleende och applåderade hans ansträngningar.En: The spectators, who had initially fallen silent, broke into smiles and applauded his efforts.Sv: De visste att det mest värdefulla inte alltid är perfektion, utan det hårda arbetet och ärliga försök.En: They knew that the most valuable thing is not always perfection, but the hard work and honest attempt.Sv: Kajsa, med en hand full av honungsströmmade bullar, log brett mot sin bror.En: Kajsa, with a hand full of honey-drenched buns, beamed at her brother.Sv: "Du har gjort oss stolta, Lars," sa hon.En: "You have made us proud, Lars," she said.Sv: "Det är viljan att våga och försöka som räknas."En: "It's the will to dare and try that counts."Sv: Elin såg upp till Lars med beundran.En: Elin looked up to Lars with admiration.Sv: För första gången förstod hon att deras familjehistoria handlade lika mycket om mod och misslyckanden som om framgångar.En: For the first time, she understood that their family history was as much about courage and failures as it was about successes.Sv: Och medan Midsommarfirandet fortsatte med dans och sång kring majstången, visste Lars att han hade vunnit något större än bara erkännande för ett vackert svärd—han hade fått en djupare förståelse och uppskattning för livet och för sin familj.En: And as the Midsommar celebration continued with dance and song around the maypole, Lars knew he had won something greater than just recognition for a beautiful sword—he had gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for life and for his family.

Hinrichsen, Elin www.deutschlandfunk.de, Tag für Tag

In questa edizione Alessandro Tini ci guida in un viaggio attraverso l'elemento più essenziale e, al contempo, più discusso del nostro territorio: l'acqua. Dal successo del progetto della nuova piscina comunale di Grono – approvato con largo consenso popolare – alle sfide legate ai costi di gestione e alla valenza regionale dell'infrastruttura, il tema dell'accesso e della fruizione delle risorse idriche si intreccia con quello della politica comunale e della sostenibilità. Ma non solo sport e tempo libero: si parla anche di sicurezza idraulica, energie rinnovabili e ritorno alla normalità dopo l'alluvione dell'estate scorsa in Mesolcina, con un focus sulla centrale idroelettrica Elin di Grono. L'attenzione si sposta poi sulla depurazione delle acque reflue, con casi emblematici come Brusio e Bregaglia che, grazie a storici accordi internazionali, smaltiscono i propri scarichi oltreconfine in Italia. Una soluzione pratica, ma non priva di criticità e interrogativi sulla trasparenza e la gestione delle società coinvolte. Infine, spazio al referendum lanciato a Roveredo contro l'installazione di contatori idrici: un tema che riapre il dibattito su consumo consapevole e gestione equa delle risorse. Un'edizione da non perdere, che mette a fuoco tutte le sfaccettature – spesso invisibili – dell'acqua nel Grigioni italiano.

In the 1940s, some vulnerable Swedish hospital patients were fed large amounts of sugary sweets as part of an experiment to see what it would do to their teeth. Researchers considered the study a success as it led to new recommendations for children to eat sweets just once a week. In the 1990s, the unethical aspects of the experiment emerged when Elin Bommenel became the first researcher to gain access to the original documents from the experiments. Sweden's government has never formally apologised for what happened, although it has greatly improved care for vulnerable children and adults.Elin tells Frida Anund about the revelations.

I denne episoden møter du Elin og Guro, to treningsjenter som ved en tilfeldighet meldte seg på sitt første HYROX-race i København for et drøyt år siden. Det gikk overraskende bra, for fast forward et år and here we are; de konkurrerer nå i verdenstoppen, side om side med de beste utøverne vi har innen nettopp HYROX. Men hva er det egentlig, dette fitnessracet som «alle» snakker om, og hva er greia? I korte trekk er det en treningsform som setter krav til både kondisjon og utholdende styrke, som også former treningsuka til jentene. Mange av oss kan jo kjenne seg igjen i å ville kombinere begge deler - hvordan gjør de det i praksis? Hvordan tenker de rundt nettopp styrke og kondisjon, hvordan unngår de å trene for mye, snuse på skader eller bare.. bli lei? Her er det mye inspo og tips å hente fra to jenter som gikk fra hobbymosjonister til et toppidrettsutøver-liknende liv, uten helt å ha en plan på det selv. De færreste av oss trenger en slik treningsmengde men det er allikevel gøy å la seg inspirere, spesielt av prinsippene rundt styrke og kondisjon og kombinasjonen av disse to. God lytt!
