Podcasts about Propagation

Brian Sayers // 2 Timothy 1:3-7; 3:14-17 Sermon notes

In episode 240 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about the improvements in Principal propgation. Almost 2 years ago, in 2023, Microsoft kicked off the Secure Future Initiative. This meant that litterally all the services within Microsoft went through a security review and were hardend. While this certainly improved security, it also made a lot of scenario much more complicated. Where in the past you could connect to a service using basic authentication or with a simple certificate, that is no longer possible. Martin -- always looking at the positive side -- recently talked about how the "Secure Future Initiative" blocker became a differentiator for SAP with Microsoft -- and I love this. With the work that Martin and the team did we now have a really cool, secure and much easier to maintain solution to do principal propagation. I am glad that we have Martin back on our show to explain a little more about the magic that he did.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I saw a social media post featuring a screenshot of some random website with pretty charts and indicators describing "current HF propagation". Aside from lacking a date, it helpfully included notations like "Solar Storm Imminent" and "Band Closed". It made me wonder, not for the first time, what the reliability of this type of notification is. Does it actually indicate what you might expect when you get on air to make noise, is it globally relevant, is the data valid or real-time? You get the idea. How do you determine the relationship between this pretty display and reality? Immediately the WSPR or Weak Signal Propagation Reporter database came to mind. It's a massive collection of signal reports capturing time, band, station and other parameters, one of which is the Signal To Noise ratio or SNR. If the number of sun spots, or a geomagnetic index change affected propagation, can we see an effect on the SNR? Although there's close on a million records per day, I'll note in advance that my current approach of taking a daily average across all reports on a specific band, completely ignores the number of reports, the types and direction of antennas, the distance between stations, transmitter power, local noise or any number of other variables. Using the online "wspr.live" database, looking only at 2024, I linked the daily recorded WSPR SNR average per band to the Sun Spot Numbers and Geomagnetic Index and immediately ran into problems. For starters the daily Sun Spot Number or SSN, from the Royal Observatory in Belgium does not appear to be complete. I'm not yet sure why. For example, there's only 288 days of SSN data in 2024. Does this mean that the observers were on holiday on the other 78 days, or was the SSN zero? Curiously there's 60 days where there's more than one recording and as a bonus, on New Years Eve 2024, there's three recordings, all with the same time stamp, midnight, with 181, 194 and 194 sun spots, so I took the daily average. Also, I ignored the timezone, since that's not apparent. Similarly the Geomagnetic Index data from the Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany has several weird artefacts around 1970's data, but fortunately not within 2024 that I saw. The data is collected every three hours, so I averaged that, too. After excluding days where the SSN was missing, I ran into the next issue, my database query was too big, understandable, since there are many reports in this database, 2 billion, give or take, for 2024 alone. Normally I'd be running this type of query on my own hardware, but you might know that I lost my main research computer last year, well, I didn't lose it as such, I can see it from where I am right now, but it won't power up. Money aside, I've been working on it, but being unceremoniously moved from Intel to ARM is not something I'd recommend. I created a script that extracted the data, one day at a time, with 30 seconds between each query. Three hours later I had preliminary numbers. The result was 6,239 records across 116 bands, which of course should immediately spark interest, since we don't really have that many bands. I sorted the output by the number of reports per band and discovered that the maximum number of days per band was 276. This in turn should surprise you, since there's 365 days in a year, well technically a smidge more, but for now, 365 is fine, not to mention that 2024 was a leap-year. So, what happened to the other 90 days? We know that 78 are missing because the SSN wasn't in the database but the other 12 days? I'm going to ignore that too. I removed all the bands that had less than 276 reports per day, leaving 17 bands, including the well known 13 MHz band, the what, yeah, there's a few others like that. I removed the obvious weird band, but what's the 430 MHz band, when the 70cm band in WSPR is defined as 432 MHz? I manually created 15 charts plotting dates against SNR, SSN, Kp and ap indices. Remember, this is a daily average of each of these, just to get a handle on what I'm looking at. Immediately several things become apparent. There are plenty of bands where the relationship between the average SNR and the other influences appear to be negligible. We can see the average SNR move up and down across the year, following the seasons - which raises a specific question. If the SNR is averaged across the whole planet from all WSPR stations, why are we seeing seasonal variation, given that while it's Winter here in VK, it's Summer on the other side of the equator? If you compare the maximum average SNR of a band against the minimum average SNR of the same band, you can get a sense of how much the sun spots and geomagnetic index influences the planet as a whole on that band. The band with the least amount of variation is the 30m band. Said differently, with all the changes going on around propagation, the 30m band appears to be the most stable, followed by the 12m and 15m bands. The SNR across all of HF varies, on average, no more than 5 dB. The higher the band, the more variation there is. Of course it's also possible that there's less reports there, so we might be seeing the impact of individual station variables more keenly. It's too early for conclusions, but I can tell you that this gives us plenty of new questions to ask. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently Glynn VK6PAW and I had the opportunity to play radio. This isn't something that happens often so we try to make the most of it. For our efforts we had plenty of frustrations, to the point where we were joking that I should rename this to "Frustrations of Amateur Radio". That was until we heard something weird on-air. All setup shenanigans forgotten, we marvelled at the experience. I was playing around on the 10m band, trying to hear people making noise and potentially our first contact for the field day we were participating in, when I heard something odd. Two stations talking to each other, but the audio was strange. It was like they were doubling up, the same audio played a fraction of a second later, until that moment, something I've only ever heard in a radio studio whilst editing using a reel-to-reel tape machine with separate recording and playback heads. Having just started using a digital only radio, at first I thought this was an artefact of the radio. I took note of the frequency, 28.460 MHz and told Glynn about it. After we moved the telescopic vertical antenna to the analogue radio, we discovered that this was in fact real, not caused by the radios, no doubt a relief to the proud owner of both radios, Glynn, who was thinking more clearly than I. He took note of the callsigns, Dom VK2HJ and Yukiharu JE1CSW. Looking back now, an audio recording would have been helpful. At the time I suggested that this might be a case of long path and short path signals arriving at our station and being able to hear both. If you're not sure what that means, when you transmit, an antenna essentially radiates in all directions and signals travel all over the globe. Some head directly towards your destination, the short path, others head in exactly the opposite direction, taking the long way around Earth, the long path. You might think that the majority of contacts are made using the short path, but it regularly happens the other way around, where the long path is heard and the short path is not. As you might know, radio waves essentially bounce up and down between the ionosphere and Earth and it might happen that the signal arrives at the destination antenna, or it might happen that it bounces right over the top, making either short path or long path heard, or not. In this case, both arrived clearly audible. It wasn't until I sat down on the couch afterwards with a calculator that I was able to at least prove to my own satisfaction that this is what we heard. So, what were those calculations and what was the delay? The circumference of Earth is roughly 40,000 km. RF propagation travels at the speed of light, or about 300,000 km/s. It takes about 0.13 seconds or 130 milliseconds for a radio signal to travel around Earth. At this point you might realise that 40,000 km is measured at the surface, but ionospheric propagation happens in the ionosphere, making the circumference at the very top of the ionosphere about 45,000 km, which would take 150 ms. There are several things that need to line up for this all to work. Propagation aside, the distance between all three stations needs to be such that the number of hops between each combination is a whole number so we can all hear each other. As it happens, the distance between Perth in Western Australia and Maebashi City in Japan is pretty close to the distance between Goulburn in New South Wales and Japan, and the distance between Goulburn and Perth is roughly half that. Using back of napkin trigonometry, it appears that 27 hops around the planet are required to make this happen. That's five hops between Perth and Japan, and between Goulburn and Japan, and two hops between Goulburn and Perth, and 27 hops between Perth and Japan the long way around. Given that the F2 layer where the 10m signal is refracted exists between about 220 km and 800 km, we can estimate that the total delay for the long path is at least 144 ms. That doesn't really translate into anything you might relate to, but at 8 wpm a Morse code dit takes 150 milliseconds, which gives you a sense of how long the echo delay is. In other words, it's something that you can absolutely hear without needing to measure it. There are other implications. WSPR signals are used to test weak signal propagation. Stations around the globe report on what they can hear and when. For this to work, the signal need to be synchronised, something which is commonly implemented using something called NTP, or Network Time Protocol. It can achieve a time accuracy of 10 ms. GPS locked WSPR beacons can achieve an accuracy of 40 nanoseconds. In other words, if we know that the beacon and the receiver are time synchronised, we can probably detect if the signal arrived using a short path or a long path. The WSPR decoder tracks the time between when the signal arrived and 2 seconds past an even minute as perceived by the receiver. Gwyn G3ZIL wrote an interesting document called "Timescale wsprdaemon database queries V2" on the subject of the data format used by wsprdaemon, a tool used to analyse WSPR beacon transmissions. If this is something you want to play with, check out wsprdaemon.org From our adventures there was plenty to take away. Stay curious, go portable, take notes, practice putting up an antenna, keep a log, laugh and have fun, and last but not least, get on air and make noise. Before I forget, make sure your mate brings a pen for logging when your own trusty scribble stick suddenly gives up the ghost for no apparent reason. I knew there was a reason I prefer pencils.

À Madagascar, 73 000 personnes vivent avec le VIH-sida selon les estimations. Sur la Grande Île, l'épidémie progresse de façon très inquiétante : en l'espace de dix ans, les nouvelles infections ont été multipliées par trois. Jusqu'à un quart de la population malgache pourrait être infectée d'ici à 2033 si rien n'est fait, d'après un modèle développé par deux épidémiologistes. À Antananarivo, l'association Fifafi organise des groupes de parole autour de la séropositivité. Pour les personnes infectées, c'est un moyen de rompre l'isolement, et de devenir actrices de la prévention.  De notre correspondant à Antananarivo,Les groupes de parole commencent toujours par un tour de présentation. Jeunes adultes ou cinquantenaires, hommes et femmes. Ils sont une dizaine à se retrouver chaque semaine dans les locaux de l'association Fifafi, au cœur du quartier populaire de 67 hectares, à Antananarivo. « Le groupe de parole est un espace dans lequel l'on peut s'épanouir et où l'on se sent protégé, confie Cynthia, 54 ans. Ici, il n'y a ni préjugés, ni stigmatisation. On se sent libres. Je suis travailleuse du sexe et porteuse du VIH. Dans mon milieu, j'ai rencontré d'autres personnes séropositives que j'ai encouragé à rejoindre l'association. »À travers ces rendez-vous hebdomadaires, l'association Fifafi cherche à briser le tabou qui entoure le VIH, tout en partageant informations et conseils pour aider chacun à vivre le mieux possible avec le virus. « Le principal intérêt du groupe de parole est de faire comprendre aux séropositifs qu'ils ne sont pas seuls, explique Étienne, l'un des fondateurs de l'association Fifafi. C'est l'occasion d'informer les séropositifs sur la possibilité d'enfanter, par exemple, ou de parler des bienfaits des traitements, car les malgaches ont une certaine réticence à prendre des médicaments à vie. On se donne aussi des conseils sur l'alimentation pour qu'elle soit plus saine et équilibrée, parce qu'on en a besoin pour bien vivre avec le virus. »Pour Étienne, ces discussions placent les malades en position d'acteurs dans la lutte contre le sida. « Le bénéfice quant à la prévention, c'est un changement de comportement : nous sommes conscients d'être séropositifs, donc il faut avoir les bons gestes de prévention pour ne pas transmettre aux autres et pour se protéger soi-même d'autres maladies », argumente-t-il.L'ignorance sur le VIH conduit au rejet des personnes séropositives par le reste de la société, ce qui favorise la progression du virus, estime Johnson Firinga, directeur du réseau Mad'aids qui réunit toutes les associations engagées contre le VIH à Madagascar. « Quand les populations ne se sentent pas protégées en termes de stigmatisation et de discrimination… Il y a des gens qui se cachent, qui n'osent pas parler à leurs entourages, à leurs partenaires qu'il est porteur du VIH parce que c'est honteux, c'est discriminant. La peur d'être rejeté bloque aussi les gens à se protéger entre eux », regrette-t-il.Espace d'information et de solidarité, les groupes de parole sont aussi des lieux de réflexion politique où s'expriment des revendications. Par exemple, ce jour-là, pour la prise en charge médicale des femmes enceintes séropositives.À lire aussiMadagascar: lancement d'une enquête nationale sur la prévalence du VIH chez les femmes enceintes

Les chiens sont interdits en Antarctique depuis 1994 en raison de préoccupations écologiques et sanitaires. Cette interdiction s'inscrit dans le cadre du Protocole de Madrid sur la protection de l'environnement en Antarctique, signé en 1991 par les pays membres du Traité sur l'Antarctique. Voici les raisons scientifiques et pratiques derrière cette décision. 1. Risque pour la faune localeL'Antarctique abrite une faune unique, notamment des phoques et des oiseaux marins comme les manchots. Ces espèces n'ont pas évolué pour se défendre contre des prédateurs terrestres comme les chiens. Si des chiens de traîneau venaient à s'échapper ou à être relâchés, ils pourraient devenir une menace pour ces animaux vulnérables. Les chiens pourraient les chasser, perturber leurs colonies ou introduire un stress dans leur environnement. 2. Propagation de maladiesLes chiens peuvent transmettre des maladies infectieuses à la faune antarctique. Un risque particulier est le morbillivirus des canidés, qui peut affecter gravement les phoques et d'autres mammifères marins. L'introduction de ces agents pathogènes, inexistants en Antarctique avant l'arrivée des humains et de leurs animaux, pourrait entraîner des épidémies dévastatrices dans des populations animales non immunisées. 3. Préservation d'un environnement viergeL'Antarctique est un environnement fragile et isolé, où les écosystèmes sont très sensibles aux perturbations extérieures. Les chiens, en tant qu'espèce introduite, pourraient modifier l'équilibre écologique, que ce soit par leur comportement ou par leur alimentation. Le Protocole de Madrid vise à minimiser l'impact humain sur ce continent, y compris en interdisant l'introduction d'espèces non indigènes. 4. Alternatives modernesHistoriquement, les chiens de traîneau étaient utilisés pour l'exploration et la logistique en Antarctique, comme par les expéditions de Roald Amundsen et d'Ernest Shackleton. Cependant, avec les avancées technologiques, les véhicules à moteur comme les motoneiges ont remplacé les chiens. Ces machines, bien que non exemptes d'impact écologique, réduisent les risques liés aux espèces introduites.L'interdiction des chiens en Antarctique reflète une volonté internationale de protéger cet environnement unique des pressions extérieures. En empêchant l'introduction d'espèces étrangères, comme les chiens, les scientifiques et les gouvernements cherchent à préserver la biodiversité antarctique, tout en limitant les risques sanitaires pour la faune indigène. Cette mesure s'inscrit dans une approche globale de conservation et de respect des écosystèmes polaires. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Sophia Chen interviews postdoctoral research fellow Rohit Pratyush Behera and Prof. Hortense Le Ferrand of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore about their design of a strong and tough ceramic that absorbs energy, inspired from biology. They borrowed microscopic designs found in a mollusk, a mantis shrimp, and the enamel casing surrounding human teeth. The researchers stacked round discs of aluminum oxide particles in horizontal layers in a helical structure, then encased the structure in an extra protective layer made of alumina nanoparticles. The aluminum oxide in the discs is designed to respond to an external magnetic field, modifying the orientation of the discs layer by layer, consequently adjusting the properties of the ceramic composites. This work was published in a recent issue of Cell Reports Physical Science.

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 465The Saint of the day is Saint John XXIIISaint John XXIII's Story Although few people had as great an impact on the 20th century as Pope John XXIII, he avoided the limelight as much as possible. Indeed, one writer has noted that his “ordinariness” seems one of his most remarkable qualities. The firstborn son of a farming family in Sotto il Monte, near Bergamo in northern Italy, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was always proud of his down-to-earth roots. In Bergamo's diocesan seminary, he joined the Secular Franciscan Order. After his ordination in 1904, Fr. Roncalli returned to Rome for canon law studies. He soon worked as his bishop's secretary, Church history teacher in the seminary, and as publisher of the diocesan paper. His service as a stretcher-bearer for the Italian army during World War I gave him a firsthand knowledge of war. In 1921, Fr. Roncalli was made national director in Italy of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. He also found time to teach patristics at a seminary in the Eternal City. In 1925, he became a papal diplomat, serving first in Bulgaria, then in Turkey, and finally in France. During World War II, he became well acquainted with Orthodox Church leaders. With the help of Germany's ambassador to Turkey, Archbishop Roncalli helped save an estimated 24,000 Jewish people. Named a cardinal and appointed patriarch of Venice in 1953, he was finally a residential bishop. A month short of entering his 78th year, Cardinal Roncalli was elected pope, taking the name John after his father and the two patrons of Rome's cathedral, St. John Lateran. Pope John took his work very seriously but not himself. His wit soon became proverbial, and he began meeting with political and religious leaders from around the world. In 1962, he was deeply involved in efforts to resolve the Cuban missile crisis. His most famous encyclicals were Mother and Teacher (1961) and Peace on Earth (1963). Pope John XXIII enlarged the membership in the College of Cardinals and made it more international. At his address at the opening of the Second Vatican Council, he criticized the “prophets of doom” who “in these modern times see nothing but prevarication and ruin.” Pope John XXIII set a tone for the Council when he said, “The Church has always opposed… errors. Nowadays, however, the Spouse of Christ prefers to make use of the medicine of mercy rather than that of severity.” On his deathbed, Pope John said: “It is not that the gospel has changed; it is that we have begun to understand it better. Those who have lived as long as I have…were enabled to compare different cultures and traditions, and know that the moment has come to discern the signs of the times, to seize the opportunity and to look far ahead.” “Good Pope John” died on June 3, 1963. St. John Paul II beatified him in 2000, and Pope Francis canonized him in 2014. Reflection Throughout his life, Angelo Roncalli cooperated with God's grace, believing that the job at hand was worthy of his best efforts. His sense of God's providence made him the ideal person to promote a new dialogue with Protestant and Orthodox Christians, as well as with Jews and Muslims. In the sometimes noisy crypt of St. Peter's Basilica, many people become silent on seeing the simple tomb of Pope John XXIII, grateful for the gift of his life and holiness. After his beatification, his tomb was moved into the basilica itself. Learn more about Pope John XXIII! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Syngenta Flowers' Dr. Alicain Carlson joins host Bill Calkins to discuss some key components of successful cut flower dahlia programs when starting from unrooted cuttings (URCs). Traditionally, most dahlia crops have been started from tubers, which were dug up and stored each year before replanting. Now, with beautiful dahlias available from URC, many growers are taking advantage of the benefits that come from this form of production. When buying from a reputable supplier, these inputs are virus and disease free with excellent uniformity across the crop, as well as simplified scheduling and potential cost savings.

Welches Schulkind jubelt nicht, wenn im Unterricht Lehrfilme geschaut werden? Es hat dies auch Edgar Beyfuß zu verdanken, der in den 1920er Jahren die Kulturfilmabteilung der UFA leitete und den Einsatz von Film im Schulunterricht forderte und förderte. Der 1893 geborene Dokumentar- und Naturfilmer stand auch der Trickfilm-Avantgarde nahe, was ihn nicht davon abhielt mit seiner eigenen Produktionsfirma zu Beginn des Nationalsozialismus auch Filme zu produzieren, die für die Ziele des Hitler-Regierung eingesetzt wurden – etwa zur Propagation des Volkswagens. Er verstarb 1936. Neben der pädagogischen Funktion von Filmen interessierte sich Beyfuß für den Einsatz der Filmtechnik für die wissenschaftliche Forschung. Davon zeugt der heutige Artikel aus dem Hamburger Fremdenblatt vom 25. September 1924, in dem Beyfuß als zweiten Teil einer Reihe zur „Wunderwelt des Films“ von den Möglichkeiten des filmischen Zeitraffers schreibt. Liegt darin nicht ein enormes Potential für die Botanik? Frank Riede klärt uns darüber auf, was Zeitraffer zu einer Zeit bedeutete, als man noch nicht endlos auf Digitalkameras drehen konnte.

Le slogan "No pasarán" est largement associé à la guerre civile espagnole (1936-1939), notamment comme cri de ralliement des défenseurs de Madrid contre les forces franquistes. Cependant, l'origine de cette phrase remonte à une période antérieure et à un contexte différent.Origine de "No pasarán"Le slogan "No pasarán" (qui signifie "Ils ne passeront pas" en français) trouve son origine dans la Première Guerre mondiale. Il a été popularisé par le général français Robert Nivelle pendant la bataille de Verdun en 1916. Nivelle, en commandant les troupes françaises, utilisait cette phrase pour galvaniser ses soldats et affirmer leur détermination à empêcher les forces allemandes de percer les lignes françaises.Propagation et UsageLe slogan a ensuite été adopté par divers mouvements et contextes de résistance. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, "No pasarán" est devenu un symbole de résistance face à l'ennemi envahisseur ou à l'oppression. Sa nature concise et déterminée en a fait un cri de ralliement efficace dans de nombreux contextes.Guerre Civile EspagnolePendant la guerre civile espagnole, "No pasarán" a été adopté par les républicains espagnols, en particulier par Dolores Ibárruri, également connue sous le nom de "La Pasionaria". Elle a utilisé ce slogan dans un discours célèbre en 1936 pour motiver les défenseurs de Madrid contre les troupes nationalistes de Francisco Franco. Ce discours et la situation dramatique de Madrid ont fait du slogan un symbole puissant de la résistance républicaine, consolidant ainsi son association avec ce conflit.Malentendus HistoriquesL'association étroite de "No pasarán" avec la guerre civile espagnole a conduit à la croyance erronée que le slogan a été créé à cette époque. En réalité, son utilisation pendant la guerre civile espagnole a simplement renforcé et amplifié une phrase déjà connue et utilisée dans des contextes antérieurs de résistance.Bien que "No pasarán" soit aujourd'hui indissociable de la guerre civile espagnole et de la résistance républicaine, il est important de reconnaître que le slogan a des racines plus anciennes, remontant à la Première Guerre mondiale. Son adoption par les républicains espagnols en a fait un symbole mondial de résistance, mais son origine véritable est liée à la détermination des troupes françaises à Verdun. Hébergé par Acast.

Tenter de garder une longueur d'avance dans la détection de la maladie. Alors que les nombres de cas de mpox explosent en Afrique centrale, les autres pays du continent, notamment en Afrique de l'Ouest, veulent éviter que l'épidémie se propage chez eux. Pour leur permettre d'être plus efficaces dans la détection des cas, l'Institut Pasteur de Dakar organise toute la semaine des ateliers théoriques et pratiques avec des virologues et biologistes de 17 pays de la zone. De notre correspondant à Dakar,En blouse bleue, charlotte sur la tête, masqués et gantés, seize professionnels anglophones s'activent par groupes de quatre : « Bon alors pour commencer, que dit le protocole ? groupe 6, que fait-on ? Nous devons quantifier l'ADN. »Ce matin-là, ils découvrent une nouvelle méthode de travail avec l'analyse de ce qui compose précisément l'échantillon du virus. Le Dr Moussa Moïse Diagne, chercheur au pôle de virologie de l'Institut Pasteur de Dakar, est leur formateur : « Dans cette session, ils sont dans une phase de séquençage du virus, donc pour mieux appréhender les mutations et les différents variants qui peuvent émerger dans une population. Ainsi, ils peuvent mieux répondre aux différentes questions de recherche, mais également les questions qui pourraient être liées à la thérapeutique et aux interventions vaccinales. »Penchée au-dessus de plusieurs petits flacons, Dre Emma Ituru, de l'hôpital universitaire de l'État de Rivers, au Nigeria, prend toutes les étapes en notes : « Je n'ai jamais vraiment expérimenté le séquençage. C'est la première fois que j'y suis confrontée, donc je suis très heureuse d'être ici. À mon retour, je parlerai à mes collègues de ce que j'ai appris sur ce nouveau diagnostic. »À lire aussiMpox: pourquoi l'accès aux vaccins est problématique en Afrique?Une démarche en temps de crise sanitaire qui résonne particulièrement dans les murs du laboratoire et fait la fierté des équipes comme le rappelle le Dr Moussa Diagne : « C'est une des missions pasteuriennes, comme on dit, où on a comme credo d'intervenir, d'appuyer les populations, mais aussi de former. Ce qui va permettre de mieux encore démocratiser tous ces outils de diagnostic, de séquençage. Oui, une fierté, mais également la conscience que c'est absolument fondamental pour une meilleure réponse aux épidémies. »Dans un autre bâtiment de l'Institut, les échanges sont en français. Comme au temps du Covid, on évoque ici les prélèvements et les tests PCR. Dans cet atelier, il est davantage question de se remettre en jambe : indispensable pour Pépé Toguo Namou, biologiste venue de Guinée Conakry : « Oui, c'est important, ici on parle du monkeypox : nous sommes conviés ici pour essayer de réveiller un peu nos capacités afin de s'adapter par rapport au diagnostic du monkeypox. »Les quelque 30 professionnels participant aux ateliers regagneront ensuite leur établissement avec de nouvelles connaissances, mais aussi du matériel et des produits plus adaptés au nouveau combat contre la variole du singe qui s'annonce.À lire aussiMpox: l'Institut Pasteur de Dakar veut faire front commun contre la maladie

However, these ecosystems are currently under significant threat from climate change, as discussed in the podcast episode. 1. Mass Bleaching Events: One major consequence of climate change on coral reefs is the occurrence of mass bleaching events. Rising sea surface temperatures, a result of climate change, have led to increased instances of coral bleaching. The transcript mentions a recent fourth mass bleaching event, which is a cause for concern among scientists and conservationists. 2. Destruction of Coral Reefs: Climate change is also contributing to the destruction of coral reefs. Factors such as ocean acidification, changes in ocean chemistry, and sea level rise are altering the dynamics and health of coral reef ecosystems worldwide. These changes are threatening the survival of coral species and the overall integrity of coral reef habitats. 3. Importance of Conservation Efforts: In response to the threats posed by climate change, conservation efforts are crucial to protect and restore coral reefs. Initiatives such as coral propagation in aquariums and zoos, as mentioned in the episode, play a significant role in preserving coral species and enhancing their resilience to environmental stressors. 4. Need for Urgent Action: The podcast emphasizes the urgency of addressing climate change to safeguard coral reefs. While restoration programs and conservation projects offer temporary solutions, the ultimate goal should be to mitigate the root causes of climate change. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to sustainable practices, and advocating for policy changes to protect marine ecosystems. In conclusion, coral reefs are facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change, and concerted efforts are required to ensure their long-term survival. By raising awareness, supporting conservation initiatives, and advocating for climate action, individuals can contribute to the protection of these invaluable marine ecosystems. Zoos and Aquariums: Crucial Players in Coral Reef Conservation The episode highlights the significant role that zoos and aquariums are playing in coral reef conservation by propagating corals for eventual reintroduction into the wild. These institutions are actively involved in breeding and propagating corals from different parts of the world in controlled environments such as aquariums. By doing so, they are creating a gene bank of corals that can be used for restoration efforts when needed. One specific example mentioned in the episode is the Berger Zoo in the Netherlands, which is working on propagating corals from Europe's largest coral reef. Additionally, other zoos and aquariums across Europe are also contributing to coral propagation efforts. These institutions are not only propagating corals but also ensuring genetic diversity within coral populations, which is crucial for the long-term survival of coral reefs. The episode emphasizes that while these propagation programs are essential, they are essentially a band-aid solution to the larger issue of climate change and its impact on coral reefs. Climate change, including rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and sea level rise, poses a significant threat to coral reefs worldwide. Scientists and experts stress the urgent need for bold and rapid action to address climate change to protect coral reef ecosystems in the long term. Despite the challenges, the work being done by zoos and aquariums in coral propagation is seen as a vital backup plan to help preserve coral reef biodiversity. These institutions are not only breeding corals but also conducting research to understand coral reproduction better. By maintaining genetic diversity and propagating corals, zoos and aquariums are contributing to the resilience of coral populations in the face of environmental stressors. In conclusion, zoos and aquariums are playing a crucial role in coral reef conservation by actively participating in coral propagation programs. While these efforts are essential for preserving coral reef biodiversity, addressing the root causes of coral reef degradation, such as climate change, remains paramount for the long-term survival of these vital marine ecosystems. Genetic diversity plays a crucial role in the survival of coral populations and other species, especially in the face of environmental changes such as climate change. In the podcast episode, it was highlighted how genetic diversity within a population ensures that there is a range of genetic variations that can help species adapt to changing environmental conditions. The importance of genetic diversity was emphasized by discussing the concept of natural selection and the survival of the fittest. Having a diverse set of genes within a population allows for some individuals to possess traits that make them better suited to survive in changing conditions. For example, if a coral population is faced with rising sea surface temperatures due to climate change, those corals with genetic variations that make them more resilient to higher temperatures have a better chance of surviving and reproducing. The episode also touched upon the role of zoos and aquariums in preserving genetic diversity through breeding programs. These facilities work to maintain a diverse set of genes within captive populations, ensuring that if needed, individuals with specific genetic traits can be reintroduced into the wild to bolster wild populations. Overall, the discussion in the podcast episode underscores the critical importance of genetic diversity in ensuring the long-term survival of coral populations and other species in the face of environmental challenges. By maintaining genetic diversity, populations have a better chance of adapting and thriving in changing environments, ultimately contributing to the overall health and resilience of ecosystems.

In 1701, the Church of England founded the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in order to send missionaries around the globe. The motto they chose was transiens adiuva nos—Latin for “Come over and help us!” This has been the call on gospel ambassadors since the first century, as followers of Jesus take the message of His love and forgiveness to a world in desperate need of it. The phrase “come over and help us” comes from the “Macedonian call” described in Acts 16. Paul and his team had arrived at Troas on the west coast of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey, v. 8). There, “Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us’” (v. 9). Having received the vision, Paul and his companions “got ready at once to leave for Macedonia” (v. 10). They understood the vital importance of the call. Not everyone is called to cross the seas, but we can support those who do with our prayers and finances. And all of us can tell someone, whether across the room, the street, or the community, about the good news of Jesus. Let’s pray that our good God will enable us to cross over and give people the greatest help of all—the opportunity for forgiveness in Jesus’ name.

We also talk in general about when it is worth giving up on a goal or a life path. Here's part one, all about the mysteries of the cosmos with Brian Keating!------------Discussion on IQ and Intelligence [00:01:30]: The interview begins with a discussion about the perception of high IQ and its social implications, comparing it to questions on platforms like Quora.History of the Alphabet and Rosetta Stone [00:02:33 - 00:03:59]: They explore the history of the alphabet, particularly its Phoenician and Hebrew origins, and delve into the story and skepticism around the Rosetta Stone.Webb Telescope Discovery and Black Holes [00:03:59 - 00:05:44]: The conversation shifts to a recent Webb Telescope discovery of a massive black hole, discussing its implications for our understanding of the universe and the concept of primordial black holes.Concepts of Space-Time and Black Holes [00:05:44 - 00:08:01]: Keating explains the idealized form of a black hole and the inseparability of space and time in the context of Einstein's theories.Relationship Between Time and Gravity [00:08:01 - 00:12:37]: They discuss the complex relationship between time and gravity, particularly how it is influenced by the presence of massive objects like black holes.Theories of the Universe and Dark Matter [00:12:37 - 00:17:03]: The interview covers various theories about the origin and nature of the universe, including speculations on dark matter and its potential origins.Einstein's Theories and Mercury's Orbit [00:17:03 - 00:29:50]: Keating elaborates on Einstein's contributions to physics, particularly how his theories explained the peculiar behavior of Mercury's orbit.The Ether Theory and Propagation of Light [00:29:50 - 00:35:04]: The discussion turns to the historical ether theory and its role in understanding the propagation of light, leading to Einstein's revolutionary ideas.Wormholes, Black Holes, and Universe Theories [00:35:04 - 00:40:23]: They explore the concepts of wormholes and black holes, discussing various theoretical models about the universe, including multi-dimensional theories.Limits of Light Speed and Einstein's Relativity [00:40:23 - 00:44:19]: Keating and Altucher delve into why the speed of light is a fundamental limit and how Einstein's theory of relativity explains this.Future Research and Discoveries in Cosmology [00:44:19 - End]: The interview concludes with discussions on future research directions in cosmology, including the search for primordial waves of gravity and the oldest signals from the Big Bang.------------What do YOU think of the show?

One of the smartest people in history, the author of Losing the Nobel Prize and Think Like a Nobel Prize Winner - and he did almost win the Nobel Prize. Maybe he will one day do it. -  Professor Brian Keating, physicist extraordinaire!We've divided this conversation in two because first, I was really curious about black holes, wormholes, and the beginning of the universe. So we talk about that and he answers some of my questions, which I'm sure some of you might have as well, once you hear them. Next Friday, we have part two on just the weird things he's seen on college campuses lately.
