This is the progress powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast Spotlight. I'm your host, Allen Hall, along with my co host, Joel Saxum. Today we have two experts pioneering innovative wind turbine inspection methods. René Harent is the CTO of Romotioncam whose patented technology enables high res photography of operating wind turbines. And Michael Stamm from Germany's Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, who specializes in thermographic inspection methods for wind turbines. Together, they're combining visual and infrared imaging to revolutionize how we detect early stage blade issues. Rene and Michael, welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast Spotlight. Thank you. We have seen Romotioncam a number of times, and the technology is really good, Rene. I like it because the turbine continues to operate. As you take high quality images, the technology has evolved quite a bit from the last time I have seen it. Do you want to explain where you're at with Romotioncam today? So René Harendt: at the moment, we actually build up a fleet to scale up and to provide it to a bigger market. And yeah, I actually have a new prototype with A bigger focal length. So the actual system has a 500 millimeter focal length. The new system has an 840 millimeter, millimeter focal length. So that means that we can, even on higher turbines and bigger blades, because this is related to our distance to the turbines, we can provide GSDs like 0. 06 centimeter per pixel. So something up to 0. pixel. Allen Hall: So in that kind of imaging resolution, you can detect all kinds of blade abnormalities. René Harendt: Yes, even little hair cracks and stuff like this. Joel Saxum: Yeah, because you're approaching what a drone can do, right? That's, even a couple of years ago, two millimeters per pixel, three millimeters per pixel is normal. But now that one millimeter per pixel, a lot of times you'll see that in an RFP, right? When someone puts out, Hey, we're, we want inspections and they put it out to the market. One millimeter per pixel will be the standard, but you guys are offering this without actually having to stop the turbine. So your value add goes through the roof because you're keeping that production going. René Harendt: That's true. And if you think about it with that, sometimes we add a distance of 160 meters, something like this and provide that kind of GSD. Yeah, this. Sometimes there are. That's amazing, yeah. Allen Hall: So maybe, René, for those uninitiated, who are not familiar with Romotioncam, what are the fundamentals here? How does this system work?

In this conversation, Jannis Panagiotidis and Hans-Christian Petersen – authors of the new book Antiosteuropäischer Rassismus in Deutschland. Geschichte und Gegenwart (Racism Against East Europeans in Germany. History and the Present Day) – show why racism is an appropriate category when discussing stereotypes and prejudices against East Europeans; explain why there is a need for “an Eastern enlargement of the racism debate”; discuss how the most extreme, National Socialist forms of racism relate to what came before and after; consider how racism against East Europeans might be embedded in the larger, more global system of prejudices and domination; and reflect on the current stakes of their scholarly intervention.  Jannis Panagiotidis is the Scientific Director of the Research Center for the History of Transformations (or RECET), an institute of advanced research in Vienna. Hans-Christian Petersen is a staff member at the Federal Institute for Culture and History of the Germans in Eastern Europe (BKGE), which is based in the city of Oldenburg. Antiosteuropäischer Rassismus in Deutschland. Geschichte und Gegenwart has been published by Beltz Juventa. The conversation was conducted by Ferenc Laczó. Ádám Hushegyi and Lilit Hakobyan edited the audio recording.

Is there such a thing as racism against people from Eastern Europe–people who in their majority would be considered "white" in terms of skin color? Drawing on historical and contemporary insights, in this episode RECET scientific director Jannis Panagiotidis and his co-author Hans-Christian Petersen discuss key findings of their new book Antiosteuropäischer Rassismus in Deutschland (Anti-East European Racism in Germany). Hans-Christian Petersen is a researcher at the Federal Institute for Culture and History of Eastern Europe (BKGE) Oldenburg and a lecturer at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg. His research interests include Russian-German history, the post-migrant present and the history of German “Ostforschung”. He is the author of An den Rändern der Stadt? Soziale Räume der Armen in St. Petersburg (1850-1914) (Böhlau 2019). Jannis Panagiotidis is the Scientific Director of the Research Center for the History of Transformation. From 2014 until 2020, he was Junior Professor for Migration and Integration of Germans from Russia at the Osnabrück University Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies (IMIS). At RECET, he works on a project investigating liberal global orders and freedom of movement and guides a research project on post-Soviet immigrant communities in Germany. He wrote the books: The Unchosen Ones. Diaspora, Nation, and Migration in Israel and Germany (Indiana UP, 2019) and Postsowjetische Migration in Deutschland: Eine Einführung (Beltz/Juventa, 2021).

The population of the world has been rising for over 200 years but some time later this century it's predicted to peak. Demographers don't know exactly when that will happen but they do know that we are already experiencing a demographic transition. Fertility rates are falling world wide. Fertility in China and India is below replacement rate. In developed countries populations are ageing; since 2013, a quarter of Japan's population has been over 65, and within the next five years Japan will be joined by Finland, Germany, Italy, and Portugal. It's easy to see ageing as a problem. After all, how will working age people fund the pensions of so many old people? But could technology massively raise productivity? Could falling populations put less stress on the planet, and offer us a world with less competition and more leisure and space? And if an older population is a problem, how to solve it? Can we encourage people to have more children? Or should rich countries let in more people?

In today's world, it's easy to get confined in the way that we heal our bodies and only think inside the box for ways to heal. That's why in this episode of the Darin Olien show, my guest Dr. Karim helps open our eyes to the lesser known, yet highly effective, practices that we can start to utilize to heal and optimize our bodies, such as biogeometry and sound therapy.    Understanding biogeometry will change the way you think about your body and your health as it shows that we are not separate from the shapes, angles and proportions that surround us all the time, and that these shapes create energetic patterns that can introduce equilibrium and harmony into our own biological makeup.    Dr. Ibrahim Karim, Ph.D. /Dr.Sc. is a graduate of the prestigious Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland and the Founder of the qualitative science of BioGeometry & the new Architecture and industrial design school that uses the subtle energy effect of geometrical shapes to induce harmony to our modern technological or natural environments. He currently teaches at several universities and supervises numerous postgraduate studies on the applications of the science of BioGeometry.   What we discuss:   08:46: What is the biogeometry of the earth? 10:34: How did Dr. Kim discover biogeometry of the earth? 22:30: What is the life force on this earth? 38:17: Are the 8 rotations clockwise? 48:31: Are there really doctors in biogeometry? 53:45: How can you bring life force back to water? 01:06:32: How important is belief in biogeometry? 01:17:32: What role does your senses play? 01:24:59: Where to learn more about Dr. Karim   Key Takeaways:   BioGeometry is a science that deals with the Energy of Shape; it uses shapes, colours, motion, orientation, and sound to produce a vibrational quality that balances energy fields. BioGeometrical shapes are two or three-dimensional shapes specially designed to interact with the earth's energy fields to produce balancing effects on multiple levels on biological systems.    Water is the basis of life force and has been for centuries, which we know through the traces ancient civilizations left us to discover. What we don't realize in today's modern world is we are engaging in activities that continuously deplete our water of its life force, which can cause health and environmental issues.   Replenishing life force into our water can simply be done through the understanding of biogeometry and using the right types of energy to amp up its abilities. It's important to note that water's life force is never completely lost,  but only diminished through imbalances in the surrounding energy.      Find more from Dr. Karim:   Website: https://www.biogeometry.ca/dr-ibrahim-karim YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BioGeometry Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/biogeometryenergysystems?fref=ts   Find more from Darin:   Website: https://darinolien.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/ Book: https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/ Down to Earth: https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/   More links:   Shop Therasage and use code DARIN to save 15% on your purchase: https://therasage.com/pages/shop   Shop Safesleeve and use code DARIN10 to save 10% on your purchase: https://www.safesleevecases.com/

Welcome to a special, one-off Chemical Watch podcast on substance identity issues that have been raised as part of the ongoing REACH revision. In particular, we will be looking at a range of changes proposed by Germany's Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Baua). These would tackle potential registration problems of substances with hazardous impurities and nanomaterials. They include amending the definition of a substance as given in the legal texts of legislation, including REACH. Chemical Watch's science editor Andrew Turley is joined by Kristof Seubert and Angelina Gadermann both from Baua and Bernaette Quinn from REACHLaw. The consultancy has concerns over the ongoing use of the 'one substance' phrase commonly used in chemicals legislation. REACH takes a ‘one substance, one registration' approach to data submission. An analogous phrase – one substance, one assessment – is used in the chemicals strategy for sustainability.

Torben Halbe was born in the German countryside and studied Biology at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. His studies emphasized Chemistry, Neuroscience and Philosophy. He published his first non-fiction book in 2017, defending forestry against an environmentalist book that anthropomorphized trees to argue against managing forest for profit. The book was well-received by the forestry industry, so he applied to the lobby organization “German Forestry Council” and has been working there since 2018. His second book “Freedom Without Free Will”, a liberal treatise, was published in 2020. Since then, he has been active in German libertarianism.

As I've already had some guests on the show, who had a strong opinion about different approaches to farming and certifications, I've decided to highlight the topic of sustainability in this episode. Although sustainable certifications don't enjoy the glorious reputation of the biodynamic or even organic ones, I think it deserves our attention and understanding. For this reason, I invited Mr. Franz Rosner, research coordinator at the Federal Institute of Viticulture and Fruit Production in the Austrian Klosterneuburg. He spoke on behalf of the 'Sustainable Austria' label, which is a national certification, specializing in viticulture. He told me how sustainability is a more holistic approach, not only focusing on agriculture, and how this approach is considering for example CO2 emissions or energy usage as well. He elaborated on why winemakers should go for both sustainable and organic certification at the same time, and how growers could use their set of numerous criteria for self-development year by year. Fascinating topic and an eye-opening conversation. And I can certainly recommend this episode to fellow WSET Diploma students who might write their D6 assignment about the topic of sustainability.

Join Haymarket for a discussion celebrating the release of Olivier Besancenot and Michael Löwy's Marx in Paris, 1871. This deeply informed, eminently enjoyable work of historical fiction places Karl Marx in the thick of the unprecedented events of the Paris Commune. In disguise, employing imperfect but serviceable French, Karl and his eldest daughter, Jenny, encounter and debate many important figures of the movement, including Léo Frankel, Eugène Varlin, Charles Longuet, Elisabeth Dmitrieff, and Louise Michel, eventually returning to England with a profoundly changed sense of political possibility. “This book adds to the tradition evolving since Marx and Lenin. Remarkably accessible, it refreshes, provokes, and thereby develops that movement still further.” — Richard Wolff “This fictional account is a remarkable piece of historical criticism and revolutionary imagination.” —Enzo Traverso Get Marx in Paris, 1871: Jenny's “Blue Notebook” from Haymarket here: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1770-marx-in-paris-1871 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Michael Löwy is emeritus research director at the CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research).

#169 This week, I’m here with the amazing Dr Ibrahim Karim. Ibrahim is an Egyptian architect from the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. He has been a consultant to the Minister of Health, Culture, Tourism, and the Minister of Scientific Research. I truly recommend that you listen to this episode more than once and try to really internalize Ibrahim’s wisdom. During our conversation, we cover the concept of BioGeometry, connecting with your right brain consciousness and its benefits, how to bridge your sensory and extra-sensory awareness, and ultimately, how we can all benefit from seeking spiritual re-alignment. “We are a sort of double being in one being,” Ibrahim notes. Tune in to find out who we are living with in our bodies, and what we can do to live in peace with this roommate. About Ibrahim: Dr. Ibrahim Karim is an Architect by profession; graduate of the renowned F.I.T. Zurich, Switzerland; with BA/MA, and D.Sc. in Tourist Planning, Dr. Ibrahim Karim occasionally teaches as visiting professor of Architecture at several universities. Dr. Karim owns: Alemara Consultants Architecture firm founded by his father Dr. Sayed Karim in the1930’s, who is the main pioneer of modern architecture in the Middle East and author of several books on the Culture behind the greatness of Ancient Egypt. What started off as an occasional gathering of friends grew over twenty years into a weekly pivot in the lives of many people of different ages, religions, professions, social background and nationalities. Unstructured lectures and dialogues about almost any subject, where Dr. Karim believed that he has learned as much as he has taught his holistic approach which he calls the BioGeometrical Way; a new and expanded world view; equally scientific and spiritual in essence. In his own words “to be truly holistic it must incorporate anything and everything”. BioGeometrical shapes interact with Earth’s energy to produce a balancing effect on all energy levels of biological systems. Research into shapes of body organs led to the discovery of the relationship between of organ function, energy pattern, and shape. These patterns called “BioSignatures” produce, through resonance, a balance of energy and immunity that support orthodox and alternative medicine.

Scientists have developed robots that are designed to move inside the body. Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne and Federal Institute of Technology Zurich researchers engineered microscopic robots that are meant to deliver drugs to afflicted parts inside the body. These five-millimeter robots have the ability to alter their shape and size as they travel through the human body. As a result, the robots can smoothly move along dense liquids. Because the robots are made of a gel that has heat-sensitive and electromagnetic properties, they can be controlled outside the human body. At the same time, the robots can move independently as they are outfitted with a tail that enables them to swim and follow the flow of fluids in the body. To test the robots' mobility, the researchers had the robots navigate their way through confined glass pathways that resemble human blood vessels. Inside the pathways, the robots moved through liquids that had different widths and flowed at varying speeds. Results of the tests showed that the robots were indeed capable of traveling through the pathways. They were also able to modify their physical form depending on the environment. Currently, the researchers are looking into possible improvements that will allow the robots to travel through various fluids in the body. The researchers believe that these microscopic robots can change the way medical practitioners administer drugs. As the robots will be able to target specific areas in the body, this method of drug delivery can reduce side effects among patients. Additionally, this innovation is expected to set the stage for less invasive medical treatment.

If as a leader of the pack you want to lead others to maximum performance with fun, then you have to withstand stress. You also have to lead safely and well under time pressure and emotional stress.   Stress at work is one of the biggest challenges of the modern working world. The job stress index of Health Promotion Switzerland shows that one in four workers in the workplace is stressed and feels exhausted. And another 47% of the workforce is in the sensitive area, where the available resources are just enough for the workload. A study done by the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health states that particularly poor leadership places employees under severe stress. Too tight controls and micromanagement increase the pressure. What is stress? Negative stress is physical and psychological stress that is perceived as unpleasant. Stress manifests itself e.g. in feeling that you do not have enough time for the important tasks to perform them as well as you think they require. Under stress, we think less clearly and fall back into old patterns of behavior and emotional reaction rather than acting objectively. Under time pressure or information overflow stress hormones are released in the organism. The body prepares to either fight or flee. This has consequences for the leadership work. The attention span narrows. Things that sting your eyes are not visible anymore. You can not remember the same amount of information anymore. One of the causes of rising stress is our so-called VUCA world, a world that is becoming increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. Over the past 20 years, the number of decisions a leader has to take each day has quadrupled. And the amount of information available has skyrocketed. Good task and employee-oriented leadership prevents stress. Clear goals, a clear sense of purpose and tangible appreciation reduce stress and increase motivation.   –––   Receive free access to my Leitwolf Academy on Facebook Messenger: http://bit.ly/SH_Messenger   You like the Leitwolf Leadership Podcast?

Karni Wolf, Pavel Bilenko, David Langdon In the last decades many professions just died, merged with others, changed and nobody really cared. Like in printing, steno typist, mechanics. In the 70ies workers ran against machines and the dooming automatisation, but their rage was compensated by unstoppable technological progress. Companies just moved away. The dark decade of mass unemployment began. What happens now in the course of digitization? Economist Keynes's is quoted on his prediction of widespread technological unemployment “due to our discovery of means of economizing the use of labour outrunning the pace at which we can find new uses for labour”. So the mass of people will be out of work, at least in the USA as Carl Frey and Michael Osborne put it in 2013. Not so in Germany as the Federal Institute of Vocational Education (BIBB) proved. The demand of skill sets and the character of the labour market will change. The results show that economy 4.0 will accelerate the structural change towards more services. In this process labour force movements between branches, occupations and job requirements are much larger than the change of the number of employees in total. How is our working world changing? The world economy prospering for the northern hemisphere. Another decade begins - with the lack of skilled work force.  Everybody wants to manage, heading towards university with a clean, white shirt, but who is going to work and can work at all? As the skill set that you have to offer, needs to be a really complex one: ICT, analysis and error diagnostics, languages, programming, soft skills, problem solving, team player. Digitisation can help. How about working with 3 D printing, augmented reality, safe guarding big data and finding you robot buddy in the workshop that never sleeps? Let us have a conversation on this. Join the panel discussion with our experts from Germany, Israel, Russia and the USA.

What if we could get millions of young people good jobs, free them from college debt, and give the economy a big boost? This episode's guests say we can do it — if we just follow a proven model from Switzerland, now being tried and tested with promising results here in the United States. It's an update of an ancient concept: apprenticeships. Students attend high school while also working and learning at a real job. Everyone benefits: young people, employers, schools, and the economy overall. We’re learn about it from two experts: Dr. Katie Caves is a post-doctoral researcher with the KOF Swiss Economic Institute at Switzerland’s Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich. That’s like the Swiss version of MIT -- Albert Einstein studied and taught and there. Katie grew up in the Bay Area of California.   Vinz Koller is an expert on US workforce development policy and the Director of Training and Technical Assistance at Social Policy Research Associates in Oakland, California. SPR "provides customized services in evaluation, organizational development, and facilitation and training." Vinz grew up in Switzerland.   Show links and files: KOF Swiss Economic Institute:  Social Policy Research Associates: www.spra.com CApprenticeship2.0 LinkedIn group: www.linkedin.com/groups/13555551/profile "Training for Growth" report on Colorado apprenticeships: www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/164859

He had previously achieved recognition for the first-ever day and night flight in a solar airplane flying Solar Impulse 1 in 2010, followed by eight different world records. André led the development of the aircraft on a mission that began as the passionate vision of Bertrand Piccard more than 13 years ago, tackling numerous challenges ranging from equipment failures to major delays along the way. André graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) and holds a Master’s in Management Science from the MIT Sloan School of Management in Boston. In addition, he was a partner of a venture capital firm for eight years and successfully launched two start-ups, including Innovative Silicon, a technology company in the field of microprocessor memories. Today, André contributes as a mentor and by driving initiatives as a member of the World President’s and the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO).
