Pieprasījums pēc mazākas birokrātijas un lētākas valsts pārvaldes no uzņēmēju puses izskan bieži. Gada sākumā valdība izveidoja rīcības grupu birokrātijas mazināšanai, kas salīdzinoši īsā laikā nāca klajā ar pasākumu kopu, tomēr kritika par to bija liela, jo skaidrs, ka problēmas ir pārāk samilzušas, lai dažu nedēļu laikā atrastu visaptverošus risinājumus. Pirms diviem mēnešiem rīcības grupas vadībā stājās uzņēmēju organizācijas pārstāvis – nu jau bijušais Latvijas Tirdzniecības un rūpniecības kameras valdes priekšsēdētājs Jānis Endziņš. Krustpunktā Lielā intervija ar Jāni Endziņu.

Daudzu cilvēku dzīvē sociālie mediji un cits digitālais saturs aizņem bīstami daudz diennakts laika. Vai iespējams mazināt digitālās vides ietekmi uz mūsu ikdienas dzīvi un paradumiem? Raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot sarunājas veselības un pašizaugsmes eksperts Māris Žunda, filozofs un reliģiju pētnieks Valdis Svirskis un digitālo mediju eksperts Artūrs Mednis.

Raidījumā Pievienotā vērtība runājam par to, kā valsts pārvalde digitalizējas, cik tas maksā un cik lielā mērā tas palīdz mazināt birokrātiju un valsts pārvaldē nodarbināto skaitu? Vai arī efekts ir tieši pretējs? Latvijā valsts pakalpojumu digitalizācijas, e-pakalpojumu jomā objektīvi varam teikt, ka esam priekšā ļoti daudziem, kaut vai salīdzinoties ar Eiropas lielāko ekonomiku Vāciju vai Eiropas dienvidu valstīm, kur papīru nēsāšana starp iestādēm joprojām ir realitāte. Pie mums vairāk nekā 90% valsts un pašvaldību pakalpojumu, ko iespējams digitalizēt, ir pieejami elektroniski. Latvijas Informācijas un komunikācijas tehnoloģijas asociācijas rīkotā diskusijā vērtē tās prezidente Signe Bāliņa. Tik tālu viss labi, turklāt iedzīvotāji arī aktīvi šos pakalpojumus lieto. Bet tajā pašā laikā nesarūk valsts pārvaldē strādājošo skaits. Tas nav tāpēc, ka digitālie risinājumi būtu, piemēram, slikti, ar tiem lielākoties viss ir kārtībā. Protams, vienmēr var labāk, ērtāk, vienotāk un lietas optimizēt, saka Jānis Endziņš, kurš pirms pāris nedēļām kļuva par Valsts kancelejas Rīcības grupas birokrātijas mazināšanai vadītāju.

Ķīmija, lai arī bieži nemanāma un neuzkrītoša, ir klātesoša neskaitāmās mūsu dzīves jomās. Sākot ar produktiem mūsu vannasistabās un zāļu plauktos, beidzot ar enerģētiku un pārtikas drošību. Ķīmiķi Latvijā kopā ar fiziķiem šobrīd strādā pie nanopārklājumiem vēja turbīnu lāpstiņām un īpaša sensora, kas ziņotu par zivju produktu svaigumu. Par jaunākajiem pētījumiem raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta Latvijas Universitātes (LU) asociētais profesors, Organiskās sintēzes institūta pētnieks, ķīmiķis Artis Kinēns un fiziķis no Ukrainas, LU Atomfizikas un spektroskopijas institūta vadošais pētnieks Romāns Viters. Stāstot par topošo zivju svaiguma kontroles sensoru, Artis Kinēns skaidro, ka pašreizējās tehnoloģijas, lai noteiktu pārtikas kvalitāti, bieži vien laboratorijas izmeklējumi. "Tas nozīmē, ka ir jāņem zivs paraudziņus, sūta uz laboratoriju, taisa mikrobioloģiskos testus. Tas aizņem labākajā gadījumā dažas stundas, realitātē - vairākas dienas. Tas nozīmē, ka tas svaigums, ko noteicāt, jau ir divas dienas vecs," norāda Artis Kinēns.  Otrs variants ir fizikālas metodes, kam nepieciešams fizisks kontakts ar zivi.  "Bet ko darīt, ja zivs ir iepakojumā? Ja atvērt iepakojumu vaļā, jau ir atkritums radies. Arī tad, ja zivs paraugu sūta uz laboratoriju, arī ir radīts atkritums. Līdz ar to nav labas tiešsaistes metodes, kurā būtu iespējams kontrolēt pārtikas produktu, kas jau ir iepakojumā, lai tas nebūtu jāatver." "Galvenā priekšrocība, ko redzam pret klasisko derīguma termiņu, jo arguments būtu, derīguma termiņš ir uzdrukāts, viss kārtībā. Bet derīguma termiņš nekādā veidā nepastāsta, kā tā zivs ir bijusi glabāta. Ja viņi ir pa ceļam vesta ar ķerrā, bez saldēšanas, tad viņa būs sabojāsies krietni ātrāk, nekā ir derīguma termiņš uzrakstīts. No otras puses, ja viņa ir glabāta korekti, tas derīguma termiņš arī varbūt nav korekts. Viņš vienkārši pasaka, ka šeit būs droši, ja mēs viņu metīsim ārā. Bet tikpat labi viņa ir lietojama vēl varbūt nedēļu," analizē Artis Kinēns. "Pateicoties tam, ka nav tāda ātra kontroles mehānisma, es teikšu diezgan šausmīgu statistiku, ka aptuveni 30% no saražotās zivju produkcijas tiek izmesta ārā tikai tāpēc, ka nenonāk līdz galapatērētājam laikā." Daļa šīs produkcijas noteikti vēl būtu lietojama, bet termiņš saka, ka ir jāmet ārā. "Inovācija būtu tāda, ka, ja mēs varam šo ieviest kā standarta praksi, ka mums ir iepakojums, kurā iekšpusē ir uzlīme, kurā ir iestrādāts luminofors, tad to no ārpuses var noskenēt vai nu ar kādu lasītājierīci, ideālā gadījumā mobilo telefonu, un tas pasaka: zivs vēl ir derīga tik un tik ilgu laiku," skaidro Artis Kinēns. Pētnieks norāda, ka šobrīd mērķis ir topošo sensoru un iespējas ar to veikt svaiguma mērījumus piedāvāt pārtikas izplatītājiem un pārtikas veikaliem, lai viņiem būtu iespēja labāk kontrolēt savu produktu plūsmu, lai tā samazinātu atkritumu rašanos.  "Viņu gadījumā tā ir mobilā telefona aplikācija, visticamāk, kura nofotografē uzlīmīti, kas ir  iekšpusē pie zivs pielikta, un no tās fotogrāfijas viņš nolasa zivs svaigumu," atzīst Artis Kinēns. "Ja runājam par patērētājiem, tad pielietojums varētu būt ļoti līdzīgs - ar mobilo  telefonu nofotografē zivi veikalā un lietotne pasaka, ka zivs ir derīga vai nav." Zinātnes ziņas Ziemā vērts vakariņas ēst agrāk Laikā, kad ārā agri paliek tumšs, izrādās, ka ir vērts pārskatīt mūsu vakariņu paradumus un ieturēt maltīti agrāk! Pētnieki no Džona Hopkinsa universitātes analizējuši sasitību starp mūsu iekšējo pulksteni un vielmaiņu un secinājuši, ka ēdot vakariņas ziemā agrāk, mēs palīdzam savam organismam labāk pārstrādāt uzņemto pārtiku. Arī dzīvnieki var sirgt ar hiperaktivitātes sindromu Cilvēku pasaulē ir tik ierasti runāt par tādām diagnozēm kā autisms, arī uzmanības deficīta un  un izskatās,  ka arī daži mūsu mājdzīvnieki varētu sirgt ar līdzīgām kaitēm. Tas tāpēc, ka pie vainas abos gadījumos ir strukturālas un ķīmiskas izmaiņas smadzenēs. Pētnieki noskaidorjuši, ka, piemēram, suņiem, žurkām, pelēm un atsevišķiem primātiem var būt izmaiņas gēnos, kas saistītas ar hiperaktīvu un impulsīvu uzvedību. Regulāra mikroplastmasas lietošana paātrina aterosklerozes veidošanos Kalifornijas universitātes pētnieki papildinājuši mūsu zināšanas par mikroplastmasas ietekmi uz cilvēka organismu. Eksperimentos ar pelēm, atklāts, ka regulāra mikroplastmasas lietošana paātrina aterosklerozes veidošanos. Ateroskleroze ir stāvoklis, kad sašaurinās artērijas, radot lielāku insulta vai infarkta risku. Te gan jāpiebilst, ka pētījumā šādus rezultatus uzrādīja tieši peļu tēviņi nevis mātītes. Abu dzimumu peles baroja ar zemam holesterīnam labvēlīgu diētu, taču regulāri deviņu mēnešu laikā pelēm tika iebarota arī mikroplastmasa atbilstoši dzīvnieku svaram.  E.coli baktērijas izplatība ir tikpat ātra kā cūku mērim Tīmekļa vietnē “ScienceDaily” ar pirmpublikāciju zinātnes žurnālā “Nature Communications” nonācis raksts par kādu zarnu baktērijas jeb Escherichia coli īpašību. Zinātnieki no Somijas un Norvēģijas pirmo reizi ir novērtējuši, cik ātri E.coli baktērijas var izplatīties starp cilvēkiem, un, kā izrādās, viens šīs baktērijas celms izplatās tikpat ātri kā cūku gripa. Pētnieku darbs piedāvā jaunu veidu, kā uzraudzīt un kontrolēt pret antibiotikām izturīgas jeb rezistentas baktērijas. Antimikrobiālā jeb antibiotiku rezistence ir aktuāla problēma veselības aprūpē, un tieši šonedēļ līdz 24. novembrim aizrit Pasaules antimikrobiālās rezistences izpratnes nedēļa. Tāpēc par baktērijas izplatību, bīstamību un, protams, ārvalstu pētnieku paveikto saruna ar Eiropas Pārtikas nekaitīguma iestādes valdes priekšsēdētāju, kā arī Pārtikas drošības, dzīvnieku veselības un vides zinātniskā institūta “BIOR” zinātniskās padomes priekšsēdētāju Aivaru Bērziņu.

Balsojums par Stambulas konvencijas atcelšanu ir pamatīgi saasinājis attiecības valdības partneru starpā un arī uzjundījis jautājumus, vai šī konvencija palīdz vai nepalīdz mazināt vardarbību pret sievietēm. Kā veicas šajā jomā, kādi ir dati, atrisinātās un neatrisinātās problēmas, par to saruna Krustpunktā.  Analizē biedrības "Centrs MARTA" vadītāja Iluta Lāce, Tieslietu ministrijas parlamentārā sekretāre Lauma Paegļkalna, Labklājības ministrijas valsts sekretāra vietniece Diāna Jakaite, tiesībsardze Karina Palkova un Valsts policijas Prevencijas vadības biroja priekšnieka vietniece Tatjana Caune. Centieni sašūpot valdību un pēc gada gaidāmās Saeimas vēlēšanas ir negaidīti atkal aktualizējis jautājumu par vardarbību pret sievietēm un Stambulas konvenciju. Redzēs, kas notiks tālāk Saeimā, vai valdība izdzīvos vai neizdzīvos, kad šis jautājums par izstāšanos no konvencijas tiks likts uz balsošanu tālāk. Bet pagaidām koalīcija ir apņēmusies vispirms pieņemt budžetu, jo saprot, ka citādi iestāsies valstī grūti vadāmi laiki. Tikmēr labklājības ministram jāgatavo atskaite par to, kas ir darīts, lai nodrošinātu šīs konvencijas principu ieviešanu. Jautājums ir vietā - patiešām, ko konvencija ir labu vai sliktu izdarījusi, kāpēc sūdzību skaits par vardarbību nav mazinājies? Kāds irt līdzšinējam darbam ir rezultāts?

HERO OR SIDEKICK?As we all know, the 2000's were something of a renaissance when it came to superhero adaptations, all culminating with the golden age that started with The Avengers in 2012. What many people didn't often discuss were the myriad of satires and pastiches that appeared around then that had no clue how ahead of their time they would be. From Kirkman's Invincible to Mazin's Superhero Movie, lots of different things were already taking tropes we knew of and turning them on their heads. In 2005, Disney sought to do the same on a family-friendly level. While it may not have been a smash hit, it certainly left an impact on a lot of us. So, come join Brian, Alec, and special guest Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they revisit a childhood classic (that may be more messed up than they remember) -- SKY HIGH!

Read transcriptGreetings, fellow arcade archaeologists and button-mashing historians! This week on Play Comics, we're diving headfirst into the delightfully bizarre world of Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter for the Sega Genesis – that wonderfully weird 1993 hybrid that somehow convinced an entire development team that what the world really needed was a game where you could punch mutant biobeasts in the face AND grow to kaiju size for boss battles. Based on Go Nagai's MazinSaga manga (which itself was a mashup of his Mazinger and Devilman universes), this Almanic Corporation creation proved that sometimes the best way to adapt source material is to throw it in a blender with some Streets of Rage DNA and see what emerges from the primordial gaming ooze. We're absolutely thrilled to welcome Stik Braxton from Together We Anime, Too Tall Boyz, and Clueless Vino to help us navigate this mecha-infused madness. Stik brings his signature blend of pop culture expertise and comedic timing to help us answer the eternal question: does turning Koji Kabuto into a beat-'em-up protagonist while God Kaiser Hell destroys civilization make for faithful adaptation, or just really entertaining chaos? Armed with his Mazinger Z armor and an inexplicable ability to size-shift for dramatic effect, our hero must save humanity from an underground bunker situation that makes your average zombie apocalypse look like a casual Tuesday. So dust off your Genesis controllers, prepare for some seriously chunky sprite animation, and join us as we explore whether this genre-bending fever dream successfully captured the essence of its manga source material or just created something gloriously unhinged in the process. We'll examine how faithful giant robot fights translate to 16-bit glory, why boss battles needed their own fighting game engine, and whether any of this actually makes sense when you're having this much fun pressing buttons. Learn such things as: How to successfully blend beat-'em-up mechanics with one-on-one fighting without completely losing your mind Why God Kaiser Hell remains one of the most intimidatingly named video game villains in Genesis history The exact moment when “faithful adaptation” becomes “let's just make something awesome instead” And so much more! You can find Stik at too many places, so let's just make it easy and send you to the Clueless Creative Linktree.

There's a deadly fungus among us! Alexis Hejna from Honeysuckle Rose Creations hosts a roundtable look the second season of the hit TV series based off the hit video game (and its sequel), joined by Jesse Starcher and Jayson Teasely. Let's take a look at this story of vengeance, love, and mushrooms. The second season of the American post-apocalyptic drama television series The Last of Us was originally broadcast on HBO between April and May 2025. Based on the video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog, the season is set twenty-five years into a pandemic caused by a mass fungal infection, which causes its hosts to transform into zombie-like creatures and collapses society. The second season, based on the first half of the 2020 game The Last of Us Part II, follows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) five years after the events of the first season, after they have settled into Jackson, Wyoming, with Joel's brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and Ellie's friends Dina (Isabela Merced) and Jesse (Young Mazino).HBO renewed The Last of Us for a second season less than two weeks after the series premiered in January 2023. Co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann were joined in the writers' room by Halley Gross and Bo Shim; Druckmann wrote and co-directed the games, and Gross co-wrote Part II. Principal photography took place in British Columbia from February to August 2024. Druckmann, Mazin, and Peter Hoar returned to direct the seven episodes alongside newcomers Kate Herron, Nina Lopez-Corrado, Mark Mylod, and Stephen Williams. Gustavo Santaolalla and David Fleming returned to compose the score.Critics felt the season reinforced The Last of Us as the best video game adaptation, praising the action sequences, direction, performances, production design, and writing, though some criticized the pacing and considered the story incomplete. It was nominated for several awards. Across linear channels and Max, the season premiere was watched by 5.3 million viewers on the first day, a 13% increase from the first-season premiere; by May, the series averaged almost 37 million global viewers per episode.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Latvijā elektroenerģija ir dārgāka nekā daudzās citās Eiropas Savienības valstīs, arī atslēgšanās no BRELL ir radījusi papildus izmaksas. Vai elektroenerģija pie mums vienmēr būs dārgāka nekā citur, vai tomēr ir plāns, kā šīs cenas varētu mazināt? Krustpunktā diskutē Klimata un enerģētikas ministrijas Enerģijas tirgus departaments direkotors Gunārs Valdmanis, Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes Industriālās elektronikas, elektrotehnikas un enerģētikas institūta vadošais pētnieks Kārlis Baltputnis, enerģētikas eksperts Gatis Ābele, Latvijas elektroenerģetiķu un energobuvnieku asociacijas izpilddirektors Ivars Zariņš un SIA "RCG LightHouse" dibinātājs un padomes loceklis, enerģētikas eksperts Kaspars Osis.  

Gadalaiki arī mūsu platuma grādos vairs nav tādi kā agrāk. Vasara mēdz būt neizturami tveicīga vairākus mēnešus, ziema kavējas, un tad nemitīgi mainīgas temperatūras dēļ ledus upēs te sasalst, te izkūst, apdraudot tuvējo pilsētu ar ūdens līmeņa celšanos. Tas nozīmē, ka arī pilsētvidē pieaug nozīme tam, kā urbānie objekti spēj pastiprināt vai mazināt klimata pārmaiņu ietekmi. Vai un kā pilsētās meklē risinājumus, kad vasarās ārkārtīgi uzkarst asfalts, ceļas putekļi transporta dēļ, bet citā brīdī - plūdi draud sagraut visu infrastruktūru? Vai pilsētvide spēj iespaidot laikapstākļus? Un vai pilsētā var būt tādas vietas, kur cilvēki uzlabo savu emocionālo pašsajūtu, piemēram, sēru brīdī? Kādus risinājumus par labu klimatam, kā arī cilvēka fiziskajai un emocionālajai veselībai iesaka pilsētplānotāji un ko no tā var ņemt vērā pilsētu pašvaldību pārstāvji, raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta pilsētplānotājs, atvērto inovāciju kustības "VEFRESH" izpilddirektors Viesturs Celmiņš un Rīgas pašvaldības pārstāvis Jānis Ušča.

Valsts prezidents Edgars Rinkēvičs rosina samazināt slieksni tautas nobalsošanas ierosināšanai. Kā tas ietekmēs sabiedrības līdzdalību valstiski svarīgos procesos, to Krustpunktā vaicājam politiķiem un ekspertiem. Analizē Saeimas Juridiskās komisijas priekšsēdētājs Andrejs Judins (Jaunā Vienotība), Saeimas deputāts Edvards Smiltēns (Apvienotais saraksts), analītikas un vadības grupas "PowerHouse Latvia" direktors, RSU docents Mārtiņš Daugulis, Valsts prezidenta padomniece likumdošanas un starptautisko tiesību jautājumos Kristīne Līce un Latvijas pilsoniskās alianses eksperte pilsoniskās sabiedrības attīstības jautājumos Inese Puriņa. Pirms vairāk nekā 10 gadiem, kad Latvijas krievvalodīgajiem iedzīvotājiem izdevās savākt parakstus, lai rosinātu referendumu par valsts valodas statusa piešķiršanu krievu valodai, mūs pārņēma pamatīgs emociju vilni. Tas ievērojami mobilizēja latviešus, kas arī ar pārliecinošu balsu vairākumu noraidīja šo priekšlikumu. Bet paralēli radās pretestība pret referenduma ideju vispār. Ātri vien deputāti savācās, veica izmaiņas likumā, paceļot daudzkārt augstāk latiņu, cik daudz parakstu nepieciešams, lai vispār rosinātu referendumu. Un kopš tā laika referendumi Latvijā vairs nav arī bijuši. Tagad visu nosaka deputāti. Paraksti gan tiek vākti arī referendumiem, bet nesekmīgi, jo savākt tik daudz parakstus, ļaudīm ejot pie notāra, neizdodas. Un grūti pateikt, vai kādreiz Latvijā kāds referendums vēl notiks. Ja vien  likumos atkal netiks veiktas kādas izmaiņas. Vajadzētu Latvijas tautai uzticēt kaut vai rosināt vairāk izlemt kādus grūtākus jautājums, vai tā ir spējīga lemt? Varbūt tiešām ir drošāk, ka visu nosaka deleģētie tautas kalpi.

Kopš marta beigām darbojas pēc premjeres rīkojuma izveidotā Birokrātijas mazināšanas rīcības grupa. Jau izskanējuši pirmie piedāvājumi, bet Arodbiedrību savienība, kas rīcības grupā nav pārstāvēta, jau paudusi bažas, vai birokrātijas mazināšana beigās neizvērtīsies par darba devēju izdevumu mazināšanu uz darbinieku rēķina. Katrā ziņā publiski izskanējušie termiņi rīcības grupas darbībai nav tālu, bet plāni, ko tā apņēmusies paveikt, ir diezgan visaptveroši. Pēc kādiem principiem lemj, kur un kā mazināt birokrātiju?

ASV prezidents Donalds Tramps šonedēļ paziņoja par jaunu muitas tarifu noteikšanu preču importam no ārvalstīm, Eiropas Savienības tajā skaitā. Draudēts tika jau sen, nu tas ir izpildījies. Eiropas Savienībā tagad spriež, kā atbildēt. Bet vairākas dienas daudzi ar klusām, bet veltām cerībām gaidīja ziņas no Lietuvas, kur mācību laikā purvā bija pazuduši četri ASV karavīri, kuri diemžēl tika atrasti miruši. Viņu bruņumašīna bija nogrimusi purvā. Ir vairāki apspriežami notikumi arī tepat Latvijā, gan par pirmajiem izskanējušajiem birokrātijas mazināšanas pasākumiem, gan aizturētām Jēkabpils amatpersonām. Birokrātijas samazināšanas rīcības grupa nākusi klajā ar priekšlikumu birokrātiju ierobežot, samazinot obligātās veselības pārbaudes (OVP). Par nedēļas notikumiem ar žurnālistiem diskutējam Krustpunktā. Aktualitātes analizē TV24 žurnāliste Anita Daukšte, žurnālists Raimonds Rudzāts un Latvijas Universitātes Sociālo zinātņu fakultātes lektors, pētnieks Mārtiņš Pričins.  

Ar premjeres rīkojumu ir izveidota darba grupa birokrātijas mazināšanai, Rīgas dome ir atkal lēmusi par iespējām slēgt azartspēļu zāles, pasludināts spriedums Okupācijas muzeja dedzinātājiem.

Birokrātija, lai cik cēlu mērķu vārdā veidota, iedzīvotāju acīs tomēr ir ar negatīvu pieskaņu.
