Energy’s brightest innovators. This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Pete Andrews: Pete, welcome to the program. Good to be back. Yeah. See you face to face. Yeah. Yes. This is wonderful. It’s a really great event to catch it with loads of the. UK innovation that are happening in the supply chain. So it’s, yeah, really nice to be here.  Allen Hall: This is really good to meet in person because we have seen a lot of bolt issues in the us, Canada, Australia, yeah. Uh, all around the world and every time bolt problems come up, I say, have you called Pete Andrews and Echo Bolt and gotten the kit to detect bolt issues? And then who’s Pete? Give me Pete’s phone number. Okay, sure. Uh, but now that we’re here in person, a lot has changed since we first talked to you probably two years ago.[00:01:00] You’re a bootstrap company based in the UK that has global presence, and I, I think it’s a good start to explain what the technology is and why Echo Bolt matters so much in today’s world.  Pete Andrews: Yeah, absolutely. So, um, as you said, we’re a uk, um, SME, there’s a team of 13 of us based here in the uk. Yeah. But we do deliver our services internationally, but really focused on Northern Europe. Yeah. But increasingly we’ve done more in the US and North America, a little bit in Canada. Um, but our big offering really is to help wind turbine operators and owners reduce the need to routinely retire in bulks. So we have a quick and simple inspection technology that people can deploy, find out the status of their bolt connections, and then. Reti them if necessary, but the vast majority of the time we find that they’re static and absolutely fine and can be left [00:02:00] alone. So it’s a real big efficiency boost for wind operators.  Joel Saxum: Well, you’re doing things by prescription now, right? Instead of just blanket cover, we’re gonna do all of this. It’s like, let’s work on the ones that actually need to be worked on. Let’s do the, the work that we actually need to, and instead of lugging, like we’re looking at the kit right here, and I can, you can hold the case in one hand, let alone the tools in a couple of fingers. As opposed to torque tensioning tools that are this big, they weigh a hundred kilos, and those come with all of their own problems. So I know that you guys said you’re, you’re focused here. You do a lot of work, um, in the offshore wind world as well. Yeah. I mean, offshore wind is where you add a zero right? To zeros. Yeah. Everything else is that much more complicated. It costs that much more. It’s you’re transitioning people offshore to the transition pieces. Like there’s so much more HSE risk, dollar risk, all of these different spend things. So. The Echo Bolt systems, these different tools that you have being developed and utilized here first make absolute sense, but now you guys are starting to go to onshore as well.  Pete Andrews: Yeah, that’s right. So I mean, as as you said, that there’s really [00:03:00] three main benefit areas we focus on. The first one is the health and safety of technicians, right? As you said, some of the fasteners used offshore now are up to MA hundred. So a hundred millimeter diameter bolts,  Joel Saxum: four inches for our American friends. Yeah, absolutely.  Pete Andrews: And they probably weigh. 30 kilos plus per bolt. Yeah. Um, so just the physical manual handling of that sort of equipment and the tightening equipment for those bolts is a huge risk for people. If you think 150 bolts lifting or maneuvering, the tooling around on on its own can cause all the problems. So as well as the inherent risk of the hydraulic kit failing. So occasionally we see catastrophic tool failure. Is, which have really high potential severity, you know, sort of tensioner heads ejecting or crush injuries from Tor. So that is really a key focus for our customers, just to [00:04:00] keep their teams safe, but also you have to be the cost effective and the the major cost benefit we allow is that we don’t have to revisit every bolt and every turbine like you’d have to do if you were retyping. So we believe there’s something of the order of a million pounds per installed gigawatt saving. By moving from a routine REIT uh, maintenance strategy to a focused condition based inspection, you significantly reduce the amount of intervention you make and keep your turbines running more and reduce the boots on the ground on the turbine. So three real kind of, um, key. Benefits for people adopting our technology  Allen Hall: because we routinely see tower bolts being reworked or retention depending on who the manufacturer is. And I’m watching this go on. I’m like, why are [00:05:00] we doing this? It seems, or the 10% rule, we’re tighten 10% this year, and they’ll come back and see how it’s going. That’s a little insane, right, because you’re just kind of. Tensioning bolts up to see if one of them has a problem and then you just do more of them and we’re wasting so much time because echo bolts figured this out years ago. You don’t need to do that. You can tell what the tension is in a bolt ultrasonically, which was the original technology, the first gen I’ll call it, uh, that you could tell the length of the bolt. If the length of the bolt is correct within certain parameters, you know that it is tension properly. If it’s shrunk, that probably means it’s not tensioned properly. That’s a huge advantage because you can’t physically see it. And I know I’ve seen technicians go, oh, I could take a hammer and I can tell you which ones are not tensioned properly wrong. Wrong. And I think that’s where equitable comes in because you’re actually applying a a lot of science simply [00:06:00] to a complex problem because the numbers are so big. Pete Andrews: Yeah, I mean that, that, that’s been the real. Driving force between our offering is to simplify it. So ultimately we’re based on a non-destructive testing technique. It’s an ultrasonic thickness checking technique, but when from the non-destructive testing background, it’s crack detection, people have time, they can be, it’s a very precision measurement. People have to be trained in the wind industry. We’re trying to inspect. A thousand, 2000 bolts a day at scale. It’s a completely different, um, ask of the technology and the way the technology has been developed historically has required too much technician expertise, too much configuration and set up time, and hasn’t delivered on the, on the speed that’s needed to be efficient in wind. And that’s where our bolt wave [00:07:00] unit we’ve, that we’ve developed over the last. 18 months, let’s say, where all of our focus has gone to make it as slick and as easy for a client technician to pick up with minimal training. It’s through an iOS interface. Everyone understands it intuitively. Um, it’s a bit like using the camera app on your phone. You know, you’re just hitting measure, measure, measure, measure, measure 10 seconds a bolt as you move the, um, ultrasonic transducer across, and then the data gets moved. Automatically to the cloud, to our bolt platform. And customers can view it in near real time. The engineer in the office can see the inspections happened. They can see if there are any anomalous bolts, and then there can be communication there and then whether an intervention is necessary. So it’s sort of really changed the way our customers think about managing their, um. They’re bolted joints.  Joel Saxum: Well, I think these are, these are the kind of innovations that we love to see, right? Because [00:08:00] we regularly talk about a shortage of technicians, and this isn’t, I was just learning this this week too, like this is not a wind problem. This is a everywhere problem. No matter what industry you’re in. Use are short of technicians. But we’re seeing like a tool like this is developed to be able to scale that workforce as well. Right. You don’t need to be an NDT level three expert to go and do these things. ’cause there’s a very few of those people out there. Right? Right. We know the NDT people, a lot of NDT people, and that’s a hard skillset to come by. Yeah. This can be put in the hands of any technician. Yeah, a quick training course. Just, Hey, this is how you use your iPhone. You can check Instagram, right? Yeah. Okay. You can off figure. Yeah, have fun. See you at lunch. Um, but they can, they can make this happen, right? They can go do these inspections and you’re getting that, that, uh, data collected in the field. Centralized back to an SME that’s looking at it and you don’t have to put that SME in the field and try to scale their ability to go and travel and do all these things. They can be in the office making sure that the, the QA, QC is done correctly. I love it. I think that that’s the way we need to go with a lot of things. [00:09:00]Uh, and you’re making it happen.  Pete Andrews: Yeah. And it’s a real kind of. F change in mindset for us. So originally when we started Ebot, we were using third party hardware. Yeah. Which required a bit of that specialism. Yeah. A bit of care about the setup of the project, getting multiple parameters configured before you got going. And it wasn’t really something we could put in the hands of a customer.  Joel Saxum: Yeah.  Pete Andrews: Which meant Ebot scale was limited to what our own team could go and do, and regionally as well. You know, so we’re UK based. Probably 60% of our customers are uk, but now we have this Northern Europe offshore wind is obviously on our doorstep, but then increasingly we’ve done more and more in North America, so we’ve probably been to five or six sites now in North America and expect that to be a growth market because we can, we can now ship the devices over there, give some virtual training help. Uh, [00:10:00] people set themselves up and then that opens up that market, you know, so it’s been a real change in strategy for us, but has allowed us to have far more impact than we otherwise would just try to be a pure service.  Allen Hall: Well, let’s talk about the big problem in the states of a minute, which are the root bushing or inserts that are loose in some blades. When you lose that pushing, you also lose the tension on the bolt that can be measured. Is that something you’re getting involved with quite a bit now because of just trying to determine how many bolts are affected and, and where we are on the safety scale of can we run this turbine or not? Is that something that EE bolt’s been looking into? Pete Andrews: Yeah, absolutely. So I, I’d say there’s sort of two halves of what we do. There’s the, there’s the bulk wholesale monitoring of. Typically static connections to eliminate this routine retitling where it’s not needed typically, typically. But then we have these edge cases of certain [00:11:00] connections and certain platforms that have known bolt integrity problems, and we are working with clients to really, um, manage those integrity risks. Blade stud is an absolute classic, you know, sort of, I think almost every turbine OEM on some, if not all of their platforms has got. Embedded risk into their blades, pitch bearing connections. Um, so yeah, exactly as you said, our customers are using the technology for two things really. One is to ensure the bolts have been tightened to the preload that was specified or the target window. And quite often we find there is an opportunity to increase the preload and therefore increase the resistance to fatigue failure. So. You know, particularly on older sites where the bolts perhaps not in the condition they were on day one. Well, they definitely won’t be. Um, when people have gone and retti them, they haven’t got back to where they, they should be.[00:12:00] So we can prove that and increase a bit of that resilience, but then also start to look for the segments around the joint where, um, the bolt might start loosening or failures are occurring, and find areas where they can really hone in. And actively manage risk. And that sort of leads to what we’ve decided to do for the next year, particularly with Blade Stud in mind, is evolve this technology. So whilst it’s also measuring the elongation, we will do a defect scan at the same time. So you’ll monitor your blade stu, um, connection and we’re hoping that we can set the device to flag to you there and then. We believe this bulk has got a defect while you’re here, get it changed out before it fails and, and all the knock on problems, um, from there. Joel Saxum: So what you’re just pointing to there is a, is a workflow, right? So to me that is typical [00:13:00] of some of the amazing, innovative companies in the UK that I’ve run into throughout my career. And that is, you’re a group of SMEs, you know, bolted connections. That’s what you do, right? But then you’re like, hey. If there’s a tool, we could make a tool that would make our lives a bit easier, then it’s like, well, we could make the entire industry’s lives a little bit easier as well. So let’s iterate on that. And now you’re able to send these kits around the world to look at these things. Hey, you have a problem with this specific model. We can help you with this because we know the failure mode and we know how to look for it. Let’s do that for you. Also here, you’re doing bolt bulk measurements. We got that for you. But it all kind of flows back to the fact that Echo Bolt is a team. A bolted connection, SMEs that are making tools and being able to also provide consulting if need be. Yeah. Right. Um, to, to an entire industry. And I think that, um, this is my take on it, right? Wind is stop number one. I think you guys are gonna do a fantastic year, but there’s a lot of, uh, opportunity out there in bolted [00:14:00] connections as well. Allen Hall: A tremendous amount blade bolts being broken from defects in the crystalline structure. What appears to be a more. Rapidly developing issue across fleets that I’ve seen. I went to a farm this summer and the number of blade bolts that were there on the table that were broken on the conference room table was And the whiteboard office. Yeah. Yeah. This one,  Joel Saxum: this one.  Allen Hall: Your hard head is not gonna protect you from this one. It’s, it’s, it was this, um, I couldn’t imagine the amount of time they were spending hunting these things down. And of course, the only way they were finding ’em was they were broken. You like to catch ’em before they break because it becomes  Joel Saxum: a safety risk. Just not too long ago we saw an insurance case where there’s an RCA going on and it is pointing at an entire tower came down. Right. And it is pointing at a mid, mid tower section bolted connection. How often do you guys run into those problems? Or are you contacted by insurance companies or anything like that to, to take a peek at those? Pete Andrews: We haven’t done anything directly for insurance [00:15:00]companies, but we have been engaged by. Engineering consultancies that are doing RCA type activities. Okay. Um, things like at the end of defect liability periods mm-hmm. A customer has, has seen, they’ve had a lot of, uh, issues from an OEM, maybe an OE EM has offered a modification or an upgrade, assessing whether that upgrade is actually solved the problem or not. We’ve got involved in, um, but the tower. Issue specifically. It’s actually very rare we find, um, problems with tower connections, but where we do is often where they haven’t achieved good flange flatness, ah, during installation or the bolts have been, let’s say, left out in the elements for a period and lubrication has been, has deteriorated before the bolt’s been installed. So there are cases out there, but what I would say is. [00:16:00] To think about your whole life cycle, so ensure the bolt’s installed correctly and we can help with that with a QA to say, yes, this torque or tightening method has got you to the load that you want. Do some through life monitoring, but often if you install it correctly, it will it’s operational life. You will have very little concern. But then in the UK market, we’re increasingly getting involved again at the end of life, right? Life extension where life extension turbines are 20, 25 years old. How does an operator make a decision to carry on running without replacing all bots? Um, and that’s where increasingly we being asked to use the technologist just to say, actually the joint is fine. The bolts have run in a good, um, operational envelope. Run them on. Don’t replace a hundred percent of them like you might have been recommended to from your, um, yeah. Turbine supplier side. [00:17:00] Allen Hall: So Pete, if someone’s doing a repower where they’re basically putting a new one in the cell on an existing tower, they’re making a lot of assumptions about all the bolts from the ground up that they’re gonna be okay. And I know we’re talking about that. We’re in a lot of installations where. If the turbine has gone through a repowered or two. So now those bolts are 20 years old. Yeah. And trying to get ’em to  Joel Saxum: 30 35. 35  Allen Hall: 40. Yeah. I don’t know what they’re doing. By those bolted connections. Are they just like replacing the bolts? Are they hitting ’em with a hammer again? Is that the, yeah,  Pete Andrews: I mean, they might replace ’em, but you’ve got a problem with the foundation bolts. ’cause they’re obviously often anchor bolts set into concrete, so you have to reuse them and. With the projects, both in wind and in process power industry with the chimney stacks to try and ascertain whether foundation bolts that are set into concrete are still suitable for operations. So look for corrosion losses, look for [00:18:00] defects. Um, so yeah, they’re all things that need thinking about before you just make the snap decision to repower. But I think  Joel Saxum: a lot of that, uh, going back to a couple minutes ago, you were talking about at the commissioning phase, making sure that you have proper qa, QC of how these things were installed day one, and then making sure that before commissioning of a turbine, they’re checked. I think that’s really important. We’re starting to see that in the blade world now too, where we’ve been talking about it for a long time, and now when you talk to operators, they’re like, we’re getting inspections done on the blades before they’re hung. Or at the factory before they’re hung. After they’re hung. Like they want a good foundation baseline. Are you seeing that in the bolted connection world too?  Pete Andrews: Yes. Sort of. It’s just emerging for us. What we’ve found is, so most of our customers are in the operational phase ’cause they are the ones feeling the pain. Yeah. Of the routine retitling work. When they do major components, they sometimes engage us to come and say, can you check [00:19:00] before and after the blade was removed? What was it? Before we took it off from a a bolt load perspective, what is it afterwards? Can you then recheck after 500 hours When we retalk it? And what we’ve seen there often is the initial install hasn’t got them to where they needed to be and they’ve had to go and do the break in maintenance or the 500 hour REIT to get the bolts to the right load. So one of the questions that we have is whether. Some of the defects are actually being initiated very early on in that initial running in period and whether if, if actually you’d taken the time at, at the point of assembly to make sure you were correct, whether that avoids some of the knock on integrity concerns. So yeah, it’s interesting area.  Allen Hall: Well, bolts are what hold wind turbines together and you better know you have the right. Tension and [00:20:00] torque on your bolts to get to the lifetime of the wind turbine and to, and to check it once in a while. And I know there’s a lot of operators I can think of right now in the United States that are sort of doing that job somewhat. I I think they have missed out on opportunities to save a lot of money and to call it echo bolt. How do people get ahold of you? Because that’s one thing I run into all the time. Like, Hey, hey, you gotta talk to Ebol, call Ebol. How do they get ahold of you?  Pete Andrews: So the easiest ways are via our website. Which is echo bolt.com. Um, LinkedIn, you’ll find us at Echo Bolt on LinkedIn. Reach out. Our email would be info@cobolt.com. So any of those route and you’ll, uh, reach me and the team and more than happy to speak to you about any of your faulting concerns or problems. We are, uh, yeah, we’re passionate about your problems.  Allen Hall: Pete, thank you so much for being on this podcast. I, it is great to actually see you in person and see the bolt wave technology. It’s really [00:21:00] impressive. So anybody out there that needs bolt tensioning to checking tools, you need to get ahold of Pete at Echo Bolt and get started today. Thank you Pete. Thanks guys. It’s great to be here.

Stāsta Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijas Mākslas vēstures institūta vadošā pētniece un direktore Kristiāna Ābele. Pārraides producente: Inta Zēgnere. “Izstādes aplūkošana izkliedēja visas manas šaubas. Bet silti prieka viļņi mani pārsteidza, ieraugot izstādes galvenajā ēkā latviešu jauno gleznotāju ražojumus. Reti esmu par ko dzīvē priecājusies tik sirsnīgi, tik dziļi kā par tiem. Es jutos pacilāta, mani pārņēma svētsvinīgas, nopietni saldas jūtas, prieka, miera un pateicības jūtas. Es te stāvēju latviešu tautības templī un turklāt pie latviešu gleznošanas mākslas šūpļa.” Šovasar būs apritējuši 130 gadi, kopš šo prieku un pacilātību Rīgā 1896. gadā piedzīvoja viena no Latviešu etnogrāfiskās izstādes (LEI) Dailes nodaļas aplūkotājām – jaunā skolotāja un mūziķe Matilde Jureviča-Priedīte (1872–1957). Tikko citētie vārdi lasāmi astoņus gadus vēlākā atskatā žurnālā “Vērotājs” (1904, Nr. 10, 1282. lpp.), kur viņa savas izstāžu recenzijas parakstīja ar vārdu “Matilda”. Neizdzēšamos iespaidus Matilde Jureviča-Priedīte glabāja visu mūžu un Otrā pasaules kara beigās paņēma līdzi trimdā, kur vecumdienās atcerējās: “Tāds savāds krāsu brīnums, un tas viss mūsu, mūsu! Pirmo reizi skatām mākslas spoguļos Latvijas dabas ainavas un latviešu ļaudis. Tie taču mūsējie! Atvērusies jauna bagāta pasaule – krāšņš atspulgs no mūsu dzimtenes, mūsu tautas. Otru dienu sēdu telpā, kas nu jau pustukša, pie gleznām. Te kas piedzimis – latviešu māksla. Es to sajūtu, un nezin kāpēc acīs ielīst asaras.” (Latvju Ziņas, Nr. 63, 21.08.1946.) LEI Dailes nodaļa kļuva par 1891. gadā Pēterburgā izveidotā studentu pulciņa “Rūķis” nacionālpatriotisko centienu virsotni. “Rūķis” apvienoja Mākslas akadēmijas, Štiglica Centrālās tehniskās zīmēšanas skolas un konservatorijas audzēkņus, īpašu nozīmi iegūdams tieši vizuālās mākslas vēsturē. LEI Dailes nodaļā ar saviem darbiem piedalījās septiņi jauni latviešu gleznotāji – Janis Rozentāls (1866–1916), Arturs Baumanis (1867–1904), Ādams Alksnis (1864–1897), Johans Valters (1869–1932), Staņislavs Birnbaums (1863–1944), Pēteris Balodis (1867–1919) un Vilhelms Purvītis (1872–1945). Viņi kopā redzami pazīstamā fotogrāfijā, kas patiesībā ir retušēts četrus gadus senāka attēla fragments. Galvenās lomas tēlotāja un režisora lomu šajā nacionālās glezniecības pirmizrādē uzņēmās trīsdesmitgadnieks Rozentāls, kam tobrīd kolēģu lokā bija visvairāk vērienīgu darbu, ko parādīt. Vispārēju ievērību eksponātu klāstā guva un nacionālpatriotiskas altārgleznas lomu ieņēma viņa Pēterburgas Mākslas akadēmijas diplomdarbs “No baznīcas” jeb “Pēc dievkalpojuma” (1894). Raugoties uz baznīcēnu gājienu Latvijas Nacionālā mākslas muzeja pastāvīgajā ekspozīcijā, joprojām varam nojaust pirmreizējā iespaida spēku, par ko Matilde Jureviča-Priedīte atcerējās: “Visilgāk nosēdu pie gleznas “No baznīcas”. Aizmirstos: sadzirdu bālās meitenes lūgšanu, ko viņa nupat skaitīja baznīcā, sadzirdu aklās ubadzes nopūtas. Lūk, cēlais dievbijīgu vecīšu pāris soļo mājup, bet es zinu, kā tie roku rokā nostaigājuši mūžu… Gleznā lūkojoties, var saredzēt viņu vienkāršo dzīves ceļu – visu, visu.” (Latvju Ziņas, Nr. 63, 21.08.1946.) Te satikās mākslinieka redzējums un laikabiedru gaidas – apjaust savu tautu kā daudzveidīgu veselumu. Divus gadus pirms LEI uzgleznotais Rozentāla dzimtā Saldus baznīcēnu plūdums lejup pa dievnama pagalma akmens kāpnēm bija izvērsts dinamiskā tipu galerijā, kur gleznieciski saistošā mijā vienuviet ieraugāmi dažnedažādi ļaudis – draudze, kas pamazām atgriežas ikdienas gaitās, sazarodamās figūru pāru iezīmētās sižeta līnijās. Galvenajam eksponātam radniecīga bija glezna “No kapsētas” jeb “Miroņu svētki” (1895, Latvijas Nacionālais mākslas muzejs), kas pašlaik līdz nākamajam pavasarim par godu mākslinieka 160 gadu jubilejai viesojas izstādē Jaņa Rozentāla Saldus vēstures un mākslas muzejā – tātad attēloto ļaužu dzimtenē. Pateicoties preses atsauksmēm, dažiem žurnālā “Austrums” publicētiem ekspozīcijas skatiem un aprakstiem vēlākos atskatos, ir izdevies noteikt vēl dažus saglabājušos eksponātus. Privātā krājumā atrodas, piemēram, Rozentāla glezna “No viņa” ar jaunu dāmu lasām līgavaiņa vēstuli gleznām piepildītā telpā, kuras iekārtojums varētu kalpot par reklāmu mākslas klātbūtnei modernā interjerā. Privātīpašumā saglabājusies arī Vilhelma Purvīša glezna “Jūrmalā” ar vienkāršu pretgaismā attēlotu zvejas laiviņu šūpojamies krastā. Savukārt Paula Stradiņa Medicīnas vēstures muzejā nonākusi Artura Baumaņa naksnīgā kompozīcija “Zemgaliešu gari”. Pēc reprodukcijas žurnālā “Mājas Viesa Mēnešraksts” zināma Rozentāla glezna “Mākslinieka darbnīca”, un iespējams, ka incognito dzīvi privātos vai publiskos krājumos turpina nezināms skaits citu Dailes nodaļas eksponātu. Kā apcerē par Rozentālu 1904. gadā rakstīja Jānis Miķelsons, labāk zināms kā Haralds Eldgasts, gleznotājs pēc vērienīgā pasākuma palicis “ar pilnu galvu ērmotu slavas dziesmu un gluži tukšām kabatām” (Vērotājs, 1904, Nr. 6, 751. lpp.). Izplatījās nostāsts, ka vienīgi kāds zemnieks vēlējies nopirkt nelielu studiju un mākslinieks viņam to atdāvinājis. Pirms vēlākās nonākšanas muzejā abas viņa lielākās LEI gleznas tomēr vairākas desmitgades pavadīja privātos krājumos – diplomdarbs savulaik piederēja latviešu uzņēmējam Kārlim Meņģelim (1866–1927) un viņa pēctečiem, bet “No kapsētas” – kokrūpniekam Augustam Dombrovskim (1845–1927), kas bija viens no galvenajiem LEI mecenātiem. “Ērmotajās slavas dziesmās” dzima tautas mīlestība, kas Rozentāla personību un mākslu pavada joprojām. 2016.–2017. gadā daudznozaru pētījumus par Latviešu etnogrāfiskās izstādes vēsturi un nozīmi rosināja Latvijas Nacionālais vēstures muzejs. Vēsturnieces Sanitas Stinkules (tag. Zvidra) sastādījumā tapa grāmata “Latviešu etnogrāfiskā izstāde 1896” un rakstu krājums “Indivīds. Vēsture. Nācija. Latviešu etnogrāfiskajai izstādei – 120”. Abi izdevumi ir svarīgi atskaites punkti dažādos izziņas ceļu virzienos.

Stāsta Tallinas Universitātes jaunākā pētniece, doktorante, vēsturniece, Mg. hist. Rūta Bruževica. Pārraides producente – Dina Dūdiņa-Kurmiņa. Mūsdienās mums karnevāla nosaukums saistās ar Venēciju, Brazīliju un katoliskām zemēm tepat Eiropā. Reti iedomājamies, ka pirms vairāk kā 500 gadiem, karnevāls bija ļoti ierasta tradīcija tepat Rīgā. Gan mūsdienās, gan viduslaikos karnevāls notika tieši pirms lielā gavēņa, kas sākās 40 dienas pirms Lieldienām. Lai gavēni godam izturētu, nedēļu pirms tā pieņemts pieēsties, dzīrot, dejot un ālēties, maskējoties jeb darīt gandrīz visu, kas pretējs gavēņa laika atturībai. Viduslaikos to, ko mūsdienās saucam par karnevālu, Rīgā sauca par vastlāvi, kas viduslejasvācu valodā nozīmēja gavēņa priekšvakaru. Par vastlāvja svinībām viduslaiku Rīgā visvairāk zinām no Rīgas Melngalvju brālības dokumentos pierakstītā – viņu šrāgām, rēķinu grāmatām, kā arī detalizētajiem karnevāla noteikumiem no 16. gadsimta sākuma. Kaut arī visplašāk vastlāvi viduslaiku Rīgā svinēja tieši turīgi tirgotāji no Melngalvju brālības un Lielās Ģildes, kā arī pilsētas rātskungi, domājams, ka mazāka apjoma svinības noturēja arī citi pilsētas iedzīvotāji un brālības. Viduslaiku beigās Melngalvji Rīgā svinēja vastlāvi divu nedēļu garumā, iekļaujot programmā dažādus pasākumus savā lokā, kā arī ielūdzot viesus un radot svētku atmosfēru visā pilsētā. Oficiālā svētku atklāšana notika trešdienā nedēļu pirms pelnu trešdienas, ar mūziku, svinīgām runām un mielošanos ar ēdieniem un dzērieniem zālē, kas bija izdekorēta svētkiem. Ceturtdienā Melngalvji svinības izveda ārpus sava nama, kur tie ar simbolisku parādi caur vārtiem ieveda karnevāla svētkus pilsētā. Atklājot vastlāvja svinības pilsētā, šajā un citās dienās notika dejas gan Melngalvju nama zālē, gan tirgus laukumā, gan deju parāde uz pilsētas Rāti un Lielo Ģildi, lai aizvestu karnevālu pie pārējiem pilsētas tirgotājiem. Turpmākajās dienās norisinājās alus vakari, kā arī mielasti ar dejām, uz kurām tika aicināti viesi, tostarp dāmas. Tā kā Melngalvji bija jauni un neprecēti tirgotāji, kas vēl apguva savu tirgotāja amatu, šādi pasākumi varēja būt laba iespēja iepazīties un padejot ar pilsētas jaunavām, kuras arī bija no labām tirgotāju ģimenēm. Melngalvju šrāgas arī iekļauj noteikumus, kā būtu jāapietas ar dāmām, kas uzaicinātas ciemos, un, galvenais, – cik dejas viņām jāvelta vakara gaitā un kā jāielūdz uz nākamo deju vakaru. Mielasti turpinājās katru vakaru, līdz pelnu trešdienas priekšvakarā galdā jau tika celta siļķe, lai atzīmētu gavēņa sākumu. Ceturtdienā pēc pelnu trešdienas Melngalvji pulcējās agrā dievkalpojumā Svētā Pētera baznīcā, bet vakarā ar dejojošo parādi cauri pilsētai atkal izveda svētkus pa Smilšu vārtiem. Melngalvji svinēšanu gan turpināja gandrīz vēl nedēļu un tikai nākamajā otrdienā naksnīgajā tirgus laukumā sadedzināja bluķi, kas noslēdza vastlāvi pavisam. Vēlākajos gadsimtos Reformācijas ietekmē daudzas svētku tradīcijas, tostarp vastlāvis, izzuda. Taču paražas pirms gavēņa kārtīgi pieēsties, dejot, pārģērbties un iet pie kaimiņiem, kā arī sadedzināt bluķi, joprojām pastāv Meteņa svētku tradīcijā. Pēdējo gadu Meteņu svinību atgriešanās Rīgas rātslaukumā nav tikai folkloras tradīciju adaptēšana pilsētā – tā ir arī viduslaiku svētku atgriešanās Rīgas vecajā centrā.

Rīgas Kongresu namā un tiešraidē LR3 "Klasika" 30. aprīlī Latvijas Nacionālais simfoniskais orķestris un diriģents Aivis Greters atskaņos Maijas Einfeldes, Antona Vēberna un Bendžamina Britena opusus, kā arī Riharda Štrausa simfonisko poēmu "Dons Kihots". Solistes šajā darbā būs Amsterdamas Karaliskā Concertgebouw orķestra altu grupas koncertmeistare Santa Vižine un Londonas Filharmoniskā orķestra čellu grupas līdere Kristīne Blaumane. Abām māksliniecēm mūzikā šī būs pirmā tikšanās. Kristīne Blaumane šosezon ir LNSO rezidences māksliniece, iepriekšējo reizi R. Štrausa "Donu Kihotu" Latvijā spēlējusi pirms desmit gadiem kopā ar Liepājas Simfonisko orķestri un diriģentu Andri Pogu un priecājas par iespēju to atkal atskaņot:  “Šajā skaņdarbā sastopas un savienojas vienā veselumā ģeniāla mūzika, literatūra, teātris un zināmā mērā arī vizuālā māksla, jo Rihards Štrauss ar savu izcilo orķestrācijas prasmi ir uzbūris veselu gleznu. Reti kad čellistam uz skatuves iznāk tā izdzīvot veselu dzīvi un arī “nomirt”, atainojot Dona Kihota pēdējo elpas vilcienu.” Sarunā - par Riharda Štrausa meistardarbu un Johannesa Brāmsa Dubulkoncerta atskaņojumiem Lielbritānijā, kā arī gaidāmo Pētera Vaska mūzikas koncertu Mežotnes pilī 28. jūnijā kopā ar Trio Palladio.

Mentre il Vicenza prosegue la "crociera" di fine stagione, con lo 0-0 casalingo con ospite la Pergolettese, l'Arzignano Valchiampo continua a vincere. Successo per 3-2 sul campo della Pro Patria, che retrocede, 9° posto agganciato in compagnia dell'Albinoleffe da confermare all'ultima giornata del torneo di C. Se così sarà, l'Arzi competerà per salire in B insieme ai biancorossi.

Il mercato sconta incertezza sulla governance più che sui fondamentali industriali. Il nuovo CEO ha un profilo interno con 34 anni di esperienza, elemento che può favorire stabilizzazione nel medio termine.• Inflazione USA in accelerazione.L'indice dei prezzi sale al 3,3%, massimo degli ultimi 2 anni, trainato dalla componente energia. La benzina registra un incremento del +21,2%, confermando il ruolo determinante del costo energetico nella dinamica inflattiva.• Prezzi petroliferi elevati e volatili.Quotazioni attestate su livelli elevati: Brent a 97 $/barile e WTI a 99,2 $/barile, con variazioni giornaliere superiori all'1%. Impatto diretto su costi industriali e logistica.• Mercati in attesa di segnali da Hormuz.Possibile riapertura parziale a maggio dello stretto, con effetti positivi sulla fiducia. Tuttavia, persistono rischi di rincari fino a oltre il 50% in caso di crisi prolungata.• AI e mercati finanziari.Crescente attenzione al rischio cyber legato all'intelligenza artificiale, con impatti potenziali sulle valutazioni di mercato e sulla stabilità del sistema finanziario.IndustriaTestate coinvolte: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / Il Giornale / Milano Finanza / Foglio• Leonardo: tensione tra governance e continuità operativa.Il cambio al vertice evidenzia criticità nella gestione delle partecipate pubbliche. La lunga esperienza interna del nuovo AD (34 anni) rappresenta un elemento di continuità industriale.• Pirelli: rafforzamento del Golden Power.Limitazione dell'influenza cinese con 3 consiglieri nel CdA. Segnale chiaro di tutela strategica degli asset nazionali.• Utility e partecipate: risiko aperto.Dossier aperti su Terna e Acea, con forte attenzione del mercato alle nomine e agli equilibri di governance.• Reti mobili: rischio rallentamento investimenti.Possibili impatti negativi su sviluppo infrastrutturale e competitività digitale del Paese.Fisco e NormativaTestate coinvolte: Il Sole 24 Ore / La Stampa• POS e scontrini: verso maggiore proporzionalità delle sanzioni.Ipotesi di limitare le penalità per errori minori, con impatto positivo su PMI e commercio.• Decreto 5.0: incentivi al cloud.Introduzione dell'iperammortamento per investimenti digitali, con effetti attesi su innovazione e produttività.• Autotrasporto: possibile credito compensativo.Misure allo studio per mitigare i minori rimborsi e sostenere il settore logistico.• Politiche fiscali sotto pressione.Incertezza su bonus accise e possibile ricorso a extra-deficit per sostenere famiglie e imprese.Banche e CreditoTestate coinvolte: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera• Allerta su AI e sicurezza bancaria.Le autorità segnalano rischi crescenti legati all'uso dell'intelligenza artificiale nei sistemi finanziari.• Nuovo “spread energetico” in Italia.Forte divario tra prezzi dell'energia: nelle ore diurne livelli prossimi allo zero (~15–19 €/MWh), mentre nelle ore serali picchi fino a ~167 €/MWh. Impatto rilevante su modelli di business e investimenti energetici.Energia e GeopoliticaTestate coinvolte: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / Messaggero / La Stampa• Rischio operativo per il trasporto aereo.Possibile stop ai voli entro 3 settimane per carenza di carburante. Maggiore vulnerabilità per gli scali minori rispetto ai grandi hub.• Caro-prezzi e inflazione energetica.In caso di crisi prolungata, i prezzi potrebbero aumentare oltre il 50%, con impatti su consumi e marginalità aziendale.• Geopolitica come driver macro.Le tensioni internazionali influenzano direttamente energia, inflazione e stabilità delle supply chain.Lavoro e ProduttivitàTestate coinvolte: Italia Oggi / Il Sole 24 Ore / Foglio• Mercato del lavoro resiliente.Indicatori in miglioramento, ma senza dettagli quantitativi nel breve.• Produzione industriale debole.Segnali di rallentamento che mettono in dubbio la solidità della ripresa.• Divario USA-UE sull'AI.L'intelligenza artificiale amplia il gap di produttività tra le due aree, con implicazioni strategiche di lungo periodo.Executive Takeaway• Governance e mercato: il caso Leonardo dimostra che l'incertezza manageriale può generare impatti immediati sul valore (-5,2%).• Energia = rischio sistemico: inflazione al 3,3%, petrolio vicino ai 100 $ e benzina +21,2% mantengono alta la pressione macroeconomica.• Nuovi modelli energetici: forte volatilità dei prezzi (0 → 167 €/MWh) apre opportunità su storage e gestione flessibile della domanda.• Supply chain sotto stress: rischio stop voli in 3 settimane e rincari fino al +50% richiedono piani di resilienza operativa.• Segnali positivi su innovazione: incentivi al cloud e interventi normativi più proporzionati favoriscono investimenti e trasformazione digitale.

The American President's doing a live presser today on his war. The Australian Prime Minister's just wrapped a live address to the nation on the oil shock. And here, our Prime Minister is making his own announcement about a cabinet reshuffle. It's a bit of an odd time to do it. He's got Reti and Collins leaving, so he had to do it some point. The day before Easter Friday means he wants to spray and walk away for the weekend. The good news is there's plenty of talent to promote - the likes of James Meager and Chris Penk. Which is a contrast to the Opposition where the pool is quite shallow. Water comes up to your ankles. For Luxon, getting the right team around him is not just important for running the country, it's his entire election strategy. His pitch to voters is basically that he's the HR department. He prides himself on putting the right man in the right job. The fact he's doing it today also suggests that he's not listening to the press gallery, who criticised him for opening Christchurch's new stadium while Nicola Willis was left to front oil crisis stand ups and pressers. This is not necessarily a bad thing. He's doing other stuff. Like reshuffles, thank you very much. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 31 Marzo 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali. Investimenti e MercatiTestate coinvolte: Il Sole 24 Ore / Milano Finanza / La Verità / La Stampa• Mercati resilienti nonostante lo shock energia.Il Sole 24 Ore segnala che il petrolio è andato oltre 115 dollari al barile, mentre Il Messaggero alza la soglia di attenzione a 120 dollari in chiave di rischio-rincari; contestualmente La Verità evidenzia un calo dei rendimenti sui titoli di Stato per timori di stagflazione globale. Il messaggio di fondo è che i mercati stanno reggendo l'urto, ma con crescente sensibilità a inflazione e geopolitica.  • Consob e governance di mercato: nomine percepite come market moving.La Stampa riporta che l'incertezza su Cingolani e sulla partita Consob “spaventa i mercati”; MF chiede di tenere la Consob fuori dal “calderone” delle altre nomine statali. Segnale: il mercato attribuisce valore alla stabilità regolatoria e alla credibilità dei vertici di vigilanza.  • Borsa Italiana e sistema finanziario: focus su leadership e competitività.MF segnala il nome di Decio tra i candidati CDP per il ruolo di CEO di Borsa Spa e collega il tema al nuovo TUF e alla necessità di ridurre i “delisting di comodo” e le fughe all'estero. La traiettoria è pro-mercato: rafforzare l'attrattività domestica del listino.  • Inflazione UE in risalita.MF parla di inflazione al 3% nell'UE, mentre Il Sole 24 Ore registra il rimbalzo dell'inflazione tedesca. Per investitori e CFO aumenta il rischio di revisione dei tassi reali e dei costi di funding.  Industria, Incentivi e Politica IndustrialeTestate coinvolte: Il Messaggero / Il Sole 24 Ore / La Stampa / Il Foglio / Riformista• Transizione 5.0 sotto pressione, ma negoziato ancora aperto.La Stampa parla di ipotesi di congelamento dei tagli agli incentivi; Il Messaggero scrive che “vanno avanti le trattative per salvare gli incentivi”; Il Foglio allarga il focus agli “inciampi” tra governo e imprese. Il tema è chiaramente uno: forte tensione tra consolidamento dei conti e tenuta degli investimenti industriali.  • Esodati 5.0: possibile correzione della misura.Il Sole 24 Ore riferisce che il governo lavora per aumentare l'aliquota della misura “Esodati 5.0”. Non emerge nel materiale un numero definitivo, ma il segnale è pro-business: possibile intervento correttivo per migliorare l'efficacia dello strumento.  • Confindustria-MIMIT: attrito politico con impatto economico.Il Riformista e Il Foglio descrivono un fronte aperto tra MIMIT e imprese, con Urso sotto pressione. Per il sistema industriale, il rischio è un rallentamento decisionale su incentivi, energia e competitività.  • CNEL e corpi intermedi: ritorno della contrattazione “di qualità”.Il Sole 24 Ore valorizza il nuovo CNEL e il ruolo dei corpi intermedi per una contrattazione più trasparente. È un'indicazione costruttiva per filiere labour intensive e per la gestione delle relazioni industriali.  Fisco e NormativaTestate coinvolte: Milano Finanza / Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / Avvenire• Studio su due flat tax per attrarre pensionati.MF riporta che il governo starebbe studiando due flat tax per favorire il rientro dei pensionati. La notizia è ancora in fase di studio, ma ha potenziale impatto su fiscalità personale, attrazione di residenti e consumi locali.  • Bollette: misure “mirate” e non generaliste.Repubblica e MF convergono sulla linea Giorgetti: interventi temporanei, condivisi e mirati. Per le imprese il punto chiave è che non si va verso un sostegno universalistico, ma verso strumenti selettivi e temporanei.  • Telemarketing e trasparenza in bolletta.Nel box di approfondimento del Corriere è indicato lo stop al telemarketing aggressivo nel mercato energia, con l'obiettivo di rafforzare la tutela del cliente finale. È un segnale positivo sul piano della qualità commerciale e della compliance di settore.  Banche, Credito e VigilanzaTestate coinvolte: Il Sole 24 Ore / Milano Finanza• BCE: i dazi sono un boomerang per imprese e consumatori USA.Il Sole 24 Ore richiama un alert BCE sugli effetti controproducenti dei dazi. Lettura manageriale: la banca centrale collega direttamente protezionismo, prezzi e margini industriali.  • Verso un supervisore europeo unico sui grandi operatori.Sempre Il Sole 24 Ore segnala l'ipotesi di un supervisore europeo unico per i grandi operatori. Per banche, asset manager e grandi infrastrutture finanziarie è un tema di forte impatto regolatorio e competitivo.  • Montepaschi: serve un CEO “di tutti”.MF insiste sul profilo manageriale per Siena. Anche qui il mercato sembra premiare stabilità, neutralità e capacità di execution più che appartenenze.  Energia e GeopoliticaTestate coinvolte: Corriere della Sera / Il Sole 24 Ore / Il Messaggero / La Stampa / Milano Finanza / Italia Oggi• Bollette elettriche: rincaro dell'8,1% per i clienti vulnerabili.Il dato più netto della rassegna è sul Corriere: nel secondo trimestre le bollette della luce per i clienti vulnerabili salgono dell'8,1%. Il quotidiano precisa che il nuovo decreto Bollette introduce uno sconto in bolletta fino a 200 euro per famiglie con ISEE fino a 9.530 euro, platea stimata in circa 4,5 milioni di famiglie, con operatività indicata dal 20 al 25 aprile. Nel box di sintesi viene anche richiamato un contributo extra di 200 euro per chi ha già il bonus sociale con ISEE fino a 9.530 euro.  • Energia: rischio di ricadute macro su PIL e inflazione.Il Messaggero sottolinea che la forte volatilità dei prezzi energetici mette a rischio le stime di PIL e inflazione. Il quadro complessivo suggerisce che l'energia è di nuovo il principale canale di trasmissione del rischio macro.  • Petrolio: scenario di stress tra 115 e 120 dollari.Il Sole 24 Ore parla di petrolio oltre 115 dollari, mentre Il Messaggero ipotizza uno scenario a 120 dollari con il G7 pronto a predisporre uno “scudo” contro i rincari. La Stampa aggiunge che l'UE valuta misure straordinarie e persino la riduzione dei consumi di benzina.  • Iran: entrate petrolifere in salita nonostante il conflitto.Il Corriere evidenzia che Teheran vede aumentare le entrate petrolifere; nel richiamo in pagina si parla di stime intorno a oltre 1 miliardo al giorno. Nella stessa rassegna compaiono anche letture più estreme sul deterioramento dell'economia iraniana, fino a un paese “crollato per il 70%”, ma questo dato compare in forma di dichiarazione/intervista e va trattato con cautela.  • Rinnovabili: misure per gestire la sovrapproduzione.Il Sole 24 Ore segnala che sono pronte misure per governare la sovrapproduzione da rinnovabili. È un punto positivo: il tema non è più solo installare capacità, ma metterla a terra con regole, accumuli e flessibilità di rete.  • Reti digitali e data center sotto pressione energetica.Il Sole 24 Ore parla di allarme per internet provider, reti e data center, con richiesta di un piano di salvaguardia. Segnale molto rilevante per telecom, cloud e infrastrutture critiche.  • “Serve una BCE dell'energia”.Il Corriere e MF convergono su un punto di sistema: l'Europa ha bisogno non solo di misure emergenziali, ma di una governance energetica più integrata. Messaggio favorevole per chi investe su infrastrutture, efficienza e sicurezza energetica.  Lavoro e FormazioneTestate coinvolte: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera• Contrattazione trasparente come leva competitiva.Il Sole 24 Ore lega il nuovo ruolo del CNEL a una contrattazione più trasparente e di qualità. È un tema che interessa direttamente HR, relazioni industriali e sostenibilità del costo del lavoro.  • Energia e industria: focus su protezione dei settori energivori.Nel box del Corriere dedicato al decreto Bollette si parla di rafforzamento di incentivi e premi per le imprese, con attenzione specifica ai settori energivori. L'impostazione è positiva: protezione selettiva della base industriale più esposta.  Executive Takeaway• Energia di nuovo al centro del rischio macro: bollette in aumento per i vulnerabili (+8,1%) e petrolio tra 115 e 120 dollari riportano inflazione e crescita sotto pressione. • Il governo punta su aiuti selettivi: bonus fino a 200 euro, soglia ISEE a 9.530 euro, platea di circa 4,5 milioni di famiglie; impostazione mirata, non universalistica.  • Transizione 5.0 resta un dossier critico ma recuperabile: il negoziato sugli incentivi è ancora aperto e lascia spazio a correzioni utili per salvaguardare investimenti e competitività.  • Mercati e vigilanza chiedono stabilità: Consob, Borsa Spa, BCE e governance bancaria restano temi sensibili per fiducia degli investitori e costo del capitale.  • Indicazione positiva di medio termine: rinnovabili, reti, data center e governance energetica europea emergono come aree dove la crisi può trasformarsi in accelerazione strategica.  

A inizio marzo si è tenuto a Barcellona il Mobile World Congress, la fiera più importante al mondo per il settore delle telecomunicazioni: quattro giorni in cui operatori, produttori e istituzioni si ritrovano per mostrare dove sta andando la connettività. Reti satellitari, intelligenza artificiale, nuovi modi di usare il 5G: abbiamo chiesto a chi c'era di raccontarci che aria si respirava e cosa ci portiamo a casa.

Pavasaris atnāk ar gājputnu kāšiem, taču visu ziemu ar mums kopā ir bijuši lērums dažādu putnu, tostarp arī šīs dienas varonis - peļu klijāns. Viņu dēvē par manīgo novērotāju. Iepazīstina Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrības pārstāvis Imants Jakovļevs. "Peļu klijāns ir parastākais dienas plēsīgais putns Latvijā. Viņu bieži jauc ar vanagu vai sauc par vanagu, jo parasti viņš ir vienīgais, kuru redz, jo viņš sēž ceļa malā uz elektrības stabiem vai siena gubām vai augstu gaisā lido," stāsta Imants Jakovļevs. Nosaukums jau parādā, ka putns ēd peles, žurkas un kurmjus. Reti gadās, ka noķer kādu putnu. "Peļu klijānam patīk saule. Parasti dienas vidū, kad ir saule, viņš lido augstu gaisā, riņķo un sauc savu to vārdu, ja tā var teikt," turpina Imants Jakovļevs. Peļu klijāna balsi ļoti bieži mēģina atdarināt sīlis, kas ir Latvijas papagailis, kurš atdarina daudzu putnu balsis. "Ja peļu klijānam balss ir vienveidīga, tad tas viņa izskats ir daudzveidīgs. Ir balti, ir gandrīz melni. Pārsvarā peļu klijāns ir brūnu mugurpusi, ar raibumotu vēdera pusi, un spārniem raksturīgi melni komati," raksturo Imants Jakovļevs. Peļu klijāns bieži ligzdo bērzos, olas dēj jau martā, bet jaunie putnēni šķiļas maijā.

L'Europa sta cercando una strada per tornare competitiva nelle tecnologie digitali garantendo la sicurezza delle proprie infrastrutture. Ma che relazione c'è tra competitività e sicurezza? E cosa c'entrano i rischi reali o presunti dei produttori di apparati? Ne parliamo con Antonio Capone, docente di telecomunicazioni al Politecnico di Milano, e Luca Dell'Anna, esperto di reti di telecomunicazione.

Klajā nākusi jaunākājā Latvijas Sarkanā grāmata – tā vairs nav viena neliela izmēra grāmatiņa, bet seši lieli sējumi ar 1069 Latvijā reti sastopamām vai izzūdošām sugām. Vai Sarkanā grāmata palikusi biezāka un ja tā ir, ko tas stāsta par Latvijas dabas daudzveidību? Kam izdevies izsprukt no Sarkanās grāmatas lappusēm un kas diemžēl tur ir nonācis? Kā tapis šis izdevums un kas ir neparastākie šīs grāmatas varoņi? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta dabas aizsardzības pārvaldes speciālists, viens no Sarkanās grāmatas veidotājiem Jēkabs Dzenis, Latvijas Universitātes pētniece, bioloģe Līga Strazdiņa, entomologs, Lielbritānijas Dabas vēstures muzeja speciālists un Daugavpils Universitātes vadošais pētnieks Dmitrijs Teļnovs un biologs Andris Andrušaitis. Jēkabs Dzenis norāda, ka objektīvi pateikt vienu konkrētu iemeslu, kāpēc šajā Sarkanās grāmatas izdevumā ir salīdzinoši tik liels sugu skaits iekļauts, nav iespējams. Laikiem mainoties, ir mainījušās iespējas ekspertu piesaistei vērtēšanai, arī metodika mainās un atšķiras no iepriekšējo sējumu veidošanas laikā izmantotās. Gatavojot šo izdevumu vērtētas 1600 sugas, iepriekšējā reizē - 1000. "Noteikti arī pārmaiņas dabā, politikā un saimnieciskajā darbībā. Ir daudz noticis, un mēs nevaram sagaidīt, ka sugu skaits, kas ir apdraudēts, samazināsies," atzīst Jēkabs Dzenis.   Latvijas dabas dārgumi - viens no tiem mīt mežā un mirdz kā koši violēts ametists; otrs ir bieži sastopams pilsētnieks. Gada ķērpis un gada sēne - divi varoņi, par kuriem loģiskā kārtā šodien vienots stāsts. Pirmkārt, tāpēc ka ķērpja organismu kopdzīvē ar aļģi veido arī sēne. Otrkārt, gan gada ķērpi, gan gada sēni izraugās Latvijas Mikologu biedrība. Varoņi tiek noskaidroti demokrātiskā ceļā, biedriem iesūtot kandidātu vārdus, un pēc tam notiek balsošana. Visvairāk balsis ieguvušais kandidāts saņem titulu.  Vispirms par gada ķērpi, un šogad šo titulu ieguvis dzeltenais sienasķērpis. Kas interesanti - gada ķērpis nosaukts pēc 15 gadu pauzes. Saruna ar Latvijas Mikologu biedrības pārstāvi Renāti Kaupužu, un, protams, pirmais jautājums, kāpēc bijis tik ilgs pārtraukums? Savukārt tuvāk iepazīt gada sēni dodos uz Latvijas Nacionālo dabas muzeju. Tur tiekos ar muzeja mikoloģi Initu Dānieli. Viņa stāsta, ka līdz šim par gada sēni izraudzītas gan ēdamās, gan indīgās, gan aizsargājamās sēnes, cepurīšu, piepju sēnes, pūpēžsēnes - tātad plašs spektrs. Gada sēnes titulu šogad ieguvusi ametista bērzlapene. Nosaukums jau liek domāt, ka sēne ir violetā ametista krāsā. Par gada ķērpi un gada sēni aicinām klausītājus ziņot dabas novērojumu portālā Dabasdati.lv, kā arī starptautiskā platformā “iNaturalist”. Tas svarīgi, lai iegūtu reprezentatīvus datus par Latviju un lai neveidotos ačgārna situācija, ka par retām un apdraudētām sugām ir ziņots vairāk nekā par bieži sastopamām, tostarp dzelteno sienasķērpi. Savukārt iepazīt Latvijas sēnes, tostarp ametista bērzlapeni kvalitatīvu foto veidā iespējams vietnē senes.lv.

Vidēja lieluma veikala plauktos atrodas līdz 350 dažādu sadzīves ķīmijas produktu. Lielveikalos to skaits var sasniegt 700 un vairāk. Kā no šī klāsta izvēlēties videi un cilvēka veselībai draudzīgāko produktu? Par to raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Iesaka Ekodizaina kompetences centrs eksperte Ilze Neimane un RSU Darba drošības un vides veselības institūta, Higiēnas un arodslimību laboratorijas vadītāja Inese Mārtiņsone. Raidījuma viešņas aicina mājās rūpīgi izvērtēt, vai ir nepieciešami smaržkociņi, gaisa atsvaidzinātājs un veļas mīkstinātājs, kurās ir dažādas smaržvielas, kas var izraisīt alerģiju. Var arī būt, piemēram, pulvera iepakojums, kam nav nekādu bīstamības piktogrammu, tad ir svarīgi lasīt etiķeti. Tur ir atšifrēts, ja ir līdzeklī izmantotas īpaši alerģiju veicinošās smaržvielas, kas, iespējams, var radīt alerģiju, bet nav tik lielā koncentrācijā, lai norādītu ar piktogrammu. Ja pēc veļas mazgāšanas cilvēkam parādās izsitumi, tas nozīmē, ka veļa nav pietiekami labi izskalota un veļas pulveris satur kādu vielu, kas cilvēkam var raisīt kairinājumu. Īpaši, ja lieto veļas mīkstinātājus, svarīgi ir rūpīgi izskalot audumu. Tāpat raidījuma viešņas mudina rūpīgi izlasīt, cik daudz mazgāšanas līdzekļa nepieciešams liet vai bērt veļas mašīnā vienā mazgāšanas reizē. Veļas pulveri ir kļuvuši daudz koncentrētāki un efektīvāki. Reti kad ir vajadzīgs pilns mērtrauks, kā tas bija agrāk. Varbūt pietiek ar 1/3 trauciņa.

Emozioni e occasioni da gol, ma, reti bianche nella prima semifinale di andata di Coppa Italia. Al Sinigaglia, Como-Inter finisce 0-0.

Rompiamo questo silenzio stampa per ricominciare, lentamente, con la produzione di Sveja. Le settimane in cui non abbiamo registrato hanno coinciso con delle giornate assordanti per la città, dove ogni piccolo o grande episodio di cronaca veniva sfruttato per consegnare l'ennesima immagine rumorosa di una capitale insicura e abbrutita.Quattro anni fa è iniziata l'avventura di questo collettivo. Nato dalla rabbia ma anche dalla speranza che, diceva Mariame Kaba, è disciplina. Ovvero costante lavoro verso un orizzonte che non vedi ma che sai che esiste e che devi ricordarti di vedere. E per farlo, per credere che esista un altro modo di raccontare e di vivere la città, devi iniziare da una piccola cosa: riconoscere che non si è sole e soli.Reti di giornalismo indipendente come questo resistono perché danno spazio a ciò che nutre quella speranza. È per questa ragione che torniamo oggi.A una settimana dalle iniziative in memoria di Valerio Verbano, e dopo la presenza – preziosa e potente – dei genitori di Maja T. in queste giornate di lotta.Torniamo perché quelle storie ci ricordano che la memoria è pratica viva e ha la potenza di unire vicende lontane nello spazio e nel tempo, proprio come quelle di Valerio e di Maja.Racconteremo la mobilitazione che anche quest'anno ha attraversato le strade del Tufello, le voci di chi, da quel 22 febbraio 1980, ha impedito che il silenzio coprisse la vita spezzata di un giovane militante antifascista.E poi la scelta dei genitori di Maja di abbracciare la comunità antifascista romana, partecipare alla conferenza stampa, condividere il proprio dolore con chi aveva seguito, anche se da lontano, i piedi legati e i polsi ammanettati di chi oggi sfida il potere dispotico del governo ungherese.Vi lasciamo con il trailer, curato da Lorenzo Boffa, dello speciale che uscirà nei prossimi giorni e, nel frattempo, facciamo nostre le parole di Maja T. in un'intervista rilasciata a Marta Massa sul manifesto:“Spero che la solidarietà, il movimento nato attorno alla repressione, rimanga e che questa forza che abbiamo sperimentato, che la mia famiglia ha sperimentato, si sostenga e che questa possa essere una scintilla di speranza per i momenti difficili, per i momenti di divisione, di rottura, di distruzione di comunità e della società civile. Desidero che questa forza rimanga, tra le persone”.

Quante volte abbiamo sentito parlare delle difficili condizioni in cui versano molte reti idriche, segnate da perdite che in alcuni casi superano perfino il 50%. In questa puntata andiamo in Valbelluna per parlare di Dolobot, una start-up innovativa che sta completando lo sviluppo di un robot, GECO, capace di intrufolarsi in reti idriche, fognarie, gallerie e bacini idroelettrici alla ricerca di perdite, segni di deterioramento e quant'altro. Caratteristica unica di GECO è la capacità di fare tutto questo senza svuotare gli impianti, mentre sono ancora in funzione e quindi senza alcuna interruzione di servizio. Il robot, lungo una settantina di centimetri e capace di infilarsi in qualunque condotta con un diametro superiore ai quaranta centimetri, è in grado di sopportare fino a cinquanta atmosfere di pressione, equivalente di cinquecento metri di profondità, e non teme quindi di percorrere gli acquedotti mentre sono in pressione. Ce ne parla Luca Anselmi, CEO di Dolobot.

Energy’s brightest innovators. This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Pete Andrews: Pete, welcome to the program. Good to be back. Yeah. See you face to face. Yeah. Yes. This is wonderful. It’s a really great event to catch it with loads of the. UK innovation that are happening in the supply chain. So it’s, yeah, really nice to be here.  Allen Hall: This is really good to meet in person because we have seen a lot of bolt issues in the us, Canada, Australia, yeah. Uh, all around the world and every time bolt problems come up, I say, have you called Pete Andrews and Echo Bolt and gotten the kit to detect bolt issues? And then who’s Pete? Give me Pete’s phone number. Okay, sure. Uh, but now that we’re here in person, a lot has changed since we first talked to you probably two years ago.[00:01:00] You’re a bootstrap company based in the UK that has global presence, and I, I think it’s a good start to explain what the technology is and why Echo Bolt matters so much in today’s world.  Pete Andrews: Yeah, absolutely. So, um, as you said, we’re a uk, um, SME, there’s a team of 13 of us based here in the uk. Yeah. But we do deliver our services internationally, but really focused on Northern Europe. Yeah. But increasingly we’ve done more in the US and North America, a little bit in Canada. Um, but our big offering really is to help wind turbine operators and owners reduce the need to routinely retire in bulks. So we have a quick and simple inspection technology that people can deploy, find out the status of their bolt connections, and then. Reti them if necessary, but the vast majority of the time we find that they’re static and absolutely fine and can be left [00:02:00] alone. So it’s a real big efficiency boost for wind operators.  Joel Saxum: Well, you’re doing things by prescription now, right? Instead of just blanket cover, we’re gonna do all of this. It’s like, let’s work on the ones that actually need to be worked on. Let’s do the, the work that we actually need to, and instead of lugging, like we’re looking at the kit right here, and I can, you can hold the case in one hand, let alone the tools in a couple of fingers. As opposed to torque tensioning tools that are this big, they weigh a hundred kilos, and those come with all of their own problems. So I know that you guys said you’re, you’re focused here. You do a lot of work, um, in the offshore wind world as well. Yeah. I mean, offshore wind is where you add a zero right? To zeros. Yeah. Everything else is that much more complicated. It costs that much more. It’s you’re transitioning people offshore to the transition pieces. Like there’s so much more HSE risk, dollar risk, all of these different spend things. So. The Echo Bolt systems, these different tools that you have being developed and utilized here first make absolute sense, but now you guys are starting to go to onshore as well.  Pete Andrews: Yeah, that’s right. So I mean, as as you said, that there’s really [00:03:00] three main benefit areas we focus on. The first one is the health and safety of technicians, right? As you said, some of the fasteners used offshore now are up to MA hundred. So a hundred millimeter diameter bolts,  Joel Saxum: four inches for our American friends. Yeah, absolutely.  Pete Andrews: And they probably weigh. 30 kilos plus per bolt. Yeah. Um, so just the physical manual handling of that sort of equipment and the tightening equipment for those bolts is a huge risk for people. If you think 150 bolts lifting or maneuvering, the tooling around on on its own can cause all the problems. So as well as the inherent risk of the hydraulic kit failing. So occasionally we see catastrophic tool failure. Is, which have really high potential severity, you know, sort of tensioner heads ejecting or crush injuries from Tor. So that is really a key focus for our customers, just to [00:04:00] keep their teams safe, but also you have to be the cost effective and the the major cost benefit we allow is that we don’t have to revisit every bolt and every turbine like you’d have to do if you were retyping. So we believe there’s something of the order of a million pounds per installed gigawatt saving. By moving from a routine REIT uh, maintenance strategy to a focused condition based inspection, you significantly reduce the amount of intervention you make and keep your turbines running more and reduce the boots on the ground on the turbine. So three real kind of, um, key. Benefits for people adopting our technology  Allen Hall: because we routinely see tower bolts being reworked or retention depending on who the manufacturer is. And I’m watching this go on. I’m like, why are [00:05:00] we doing this? It seems, or the 10% rule, we’re tighten 10% this year, and they’ll come back and see how it’s going. That’s a little insane, right, because you’re just kind of. Tensioning bolts up to see if one of them has a problem and then you just do more of them and we’re wasting so much time because echo bolts figured this out years ago. You don’t need to do that. You can tell what the tension is in a bolt ultrasonically, which was the original technology, the first gen I’ll call it, uh, that you could tell the length of the bolt. If the length of the bolt is correct within certain parameters, you know that it is tension properly. If it’s shrunk, that probably means it’s not tensioned properly. That’s a huge advantage because you can’t physically see it. And I know I’ve seen technicians go, oh, I could take a hammer and I can tell you which ones are not tensioned properly wrong. Wrong. And I think that’s where equitable comes in because you’re actually applying a a lot of science simply [00:06:00] to a complex problem because the numbers are so big. Pete Andrews: Yeah, I mean that, that, that’s been the real. Driving force between our offering is to simplify it. So ultimately we’re based on a non-destructive testing technique. It’s an ultrasonic thickness checking technique, but when from the non-destructive testing background, it’s crack detection, people have time, they can be, it’s a very precision measurement. People have to be trained in the wind industry. We’re trying to inspect. A thousand, 2000 bolts a day at scale. It’s a completely different, um, ask of the technology and the way the technology has been developed historically has required too much technician expertise, too much configuration and set up time, and hasn’t delivered on the, on the speed that’s needed to be efficient in wind. And that’s where our bolt wave [00:07:00] unit we’ve, that we’ve developed over the last. 18 months, let’s say, where all of our focus has gone to make it as slick and as easy for a client technician to pick up with minimal training. It’s through an iOS interface. Everyone understands it intuitively. Um, it’s a bit like using the camera app on your phone. You know, you’re just hitting measure, measure, measure, measure, measure 10 seconds a bolt as you move the, um, ultrasonic transducer across, and then the data gets moved. Automatically to the cloud, to our bolt platform. And customers can view it in near real time. The engineer in the office can see the inspections happened. They can see if there are any anomalous bolts, and then there can be communication there and then whether an intervention is necessary. So it’s sort of really changed the way our customers think about managing their, um. They’re bolted joints.  Joel Saxum: Well, I think these are, these are the kind of innovations that we love to see, right? Because [00:08:00] we regularly talk about a shortage of technicians, and this isn’t, I was just learning this this week too, like this is not a wind problem. This is a everywhere problem. No matter what industry you’re in. Use are short of technicians. But we’re seeing like a tool like this is developed to be able to scale that workforce as well. Right. You don’t need to be an NDT level three expert to go and do these things. ’cause there’s a very few of those people out there. Right? Right. We know the NDT people, a lot of NDT people, and that’s a hard skillset to come by. Yeah. This can be put in the hands of any technician. Yeah, a quick training course. Just, Hey, this is how you use your iPhone. You can check Instagram, right? Yeah. Okay. You can off figure. Yeah, have fun. See you at lunch. Um, but they can, they can make this happen, right? They can go do these inspections and you’re getting that, that, uh, data collected in the field. Centralized back to an SME that’s looking at it and you don’t have to put that SME in the field and try to scale their ability to go and travel and do all these things. They can be in the office making sure that the, the QA, QC is done correctly. I love it. I think that that’s the way we need to go with a lot of things. [00:09:00]Uh, and you’re making it happen.  Pete Andrews: Yeah. And it’s a real kind of. F change in mindset for us. So originally when we started Ebot, we were using third party hardware. Yeah. Which required a bit of that specialism. Yeah. A bit of care about the setup of the project, getting multiple parameters configured before you got going. And it wasn’t really something we could put in the hands of a customer.  Joel Saxum: Yeah.  Pete Andrews: Which meant Ebot scale was limited to what our own team could go and do, and regionally as well. You know, so we’re UK based. Probably 60% of our customers are uk, but now we have this Northern Europe offshore wind is obviously on our doorstep, but then increasingly we’ve done more and more in North America, so we’ve probably been to five or six sites now in North America and expect that to be a growth market because we can, we can now ship the devices over there, give some virtual training help. Uh, [00:10:00] people set themselves up and then that opens up that market, you know, so it’s been a real change in strategy for us, but has allowed us to have far more impact than we otherwise would just try to be a pure service.  Allen Hall: Well, let’s talk about the big problem in the states of a minute, which are the root bushing or inserts that are loose in some blades. When you lose that pushing, you also lose the tension on the bolt that can be measured. Is that something you’re getting involved with quite a bit now because of just trying to determine how many bolts are affected and, and where we are on the safety scale of can we run this turbine or not? Is that something that EE bolt’s been looking into? Pete Andrews: Yeah, absolutely. So I, I’d say there’s sort of two halves of what we do. There’s the, there’s the bulk wholesale monitoring of. Typically static connections to eliminate this routine retitling where it’s not needed typically, typically. But then we have these edge cases of certain [00:11:00] connections and certain platforms that have known bolt integrity problems, and we are working with clients to really, um, manage those integrity risks. Blade stud is an absolute classic, you know, sort of, I think almost every turbine OEM on some, if not all of their platforms has got. Embedded risk into their blades, pitch bearing connections. Um, so yeah, exactly as you said, our customers are using the technology for two things really. One is to ensure the bolts have been tightened to the preload that was specified or the target window. And quite often we find there is an opportunity to increase the preload and therefore increase the resistance to fatigue failure. So. You know, particularly on older sites where the bolts perhaps not in the condition they were on day one. Well, they definitely won’t be. Um, when people have gone and retti them, they haven’t got back to where they, they should be.[00:12:00] So we can prove that and increase a bit of that resilience, but then also start to look for the segments around the joint where, um, the bolt might start loosening or failures are occurring, and find areas where they can really hone in. And actively manage risk. And that sort of leads to what we’ve decided to do for the next year, particularly with Blade Stud in mind, is evolve this technology. So whilst it’s also measuring the elongation, we will do a defect scan at the same time. So you’ll monitor your blade stu, um, connection and we’re hoping that we can set the device to flag to you there and then. We believe this bulk has got a defect while you’re here, get it changed out before it fails and, and all the knock on problems, um, from there. Joel Saxum: So what you’re just pointing to there is a, is a workflow, right? So to me that is typical [00:13:00] of some of the amazing, innovative companies in the UK that I’ve run into throughout my career. And that is, you’re a group of SMEs, you know, bolted connections. That’s what you do, right? But then you’re like, hey. If there’s a tool, we could make a tool that would make our lives a bit easier, then it’s like, well, we could make the entire industry’s lives a little bit easier as well. So let’s iterate on that. And now you’re able to send these kits around the world to look at these things. Hey, you have a problem with this specific model. We can help you with this because we know the failure mode and we know how to look for it. Let’s do that for you. Also here, you’re doing bolt bulk measurements. We got that for you. But it all kind of flows back to the fact that Echo Bolt is a team. A bolted connection, SMEs that are making tools and being able to also provide consulting if need be. Yeah. Right. Um, to, to an entire industry. And I think that, um, this is my take on it, right? Wind is stop number one. I think you guys are gonna do a fantastic year, but there’s a lot of, uh, opportunity out there in bolted [00:14:00] connections as well. Allen Hall: A tremendous amount blade bolts being broken from defects in the crystalline structure. What appears to be a more. Rapidly developing issue across fleets that I’ve seen. I went to a farm this summer and the number of blade bolts that were there on the table that were broken on the conference room table was And the whiteboard office. Yeah. Yeah. This one,  Joel Saxum: this one.  Allen Hall: Your hard head is not gonna protect you from this one. It’s, it’s, it was this, um, I couldn’t imagine the amount of time they were spending hunting these things down. And of course, the only way they were finding ’em was they were broken. You like to catch ’em before they break because it becomes  Joel Saxum: a safety risk. Just not too long ago we saw an insurance case where there’s an RCA going on and it is pointing at an entire tower came down. Right. And it is pointing at a mid, mid tower section bolted connection. How often do you guys run into those problems? Or are you contacted by insurance companies or anything like that to, to take a peek at those? Pete Andrews: We haven’t done anything directly for insurance [00:15:00]companies, but we have been engaged by. Engineering consultancies that are doing RCA type activities. Okay. Um, things like at the end of defect liability periods mm-hmm. A customer has, has seen, they’ve had a lot of, uh, issues from an OEM, maybe an OE EM has offered a modification or an upgrade, assessing whether that upgrade is actually solved the problem or not. We’ve got involved in, um, but the tower. Issue specifically. It’s actually very rare we find, um, problems with tower connections, but where we do is often where they haven’t achieved good flange flatness, ah, during installation or the bolts have been, let’s say, left out in the elements for a period and lubrication has been, has deteriorated before the bolt’s been installed. So there are cases out there, but what I would say is. [00:16:00] To think about your whole life cycle, so ensure the bolt’s installed correctly and we can help with that with a QA to say, yes, this torque or tightening method has got you to the load that you want. Do some through life monitoring, but often if you install it correctly, it will it’s operational life. You will have very little concern. But then in the UK market, we’re increasingly getting involved again at the end of life, right? Life extension where life extension turbines are 20, 25 years old. How does an operator make a decision to carry on running without replacing all bots? Um, and that’s where increasingly we being asked to use the technologist just to say, actually the joint is fine. The bolts have run in a good, um, operational envelope. Run them on. Don’t replace a hundred percent of them like you might have been recommended to from your, um, yeah. Turbine supplier side. [00:17:00] Allen Hall: So Pete, if someone’s doing a repower where they’re basically putting a new one in the cell on an existing tower, they’re making a lot of assumptions about all the bolts from the ground up that they’re gonna be okay. And I know we’re talking about that. We’re in a lot of installations where. If the turbine has gone through a repowered or two. So now those bolts are 20 years old. Yeah. And trying to get ’em to  Joel Saxum: 30 35. 35  Allen Hall: 40. Yeah. I don’t know what they’re doing. By those bolted connections. Are they just like replacing the bolts? Are they hitting ’em with a hammer again? Is that the, yeah,  Pete Andrews: I mean, they might replace ’em, but you’ve got a problem with the foundation bolts. ’cause they’re obviously often anchor bolts set into concrete, so you have to reuse them and. With the projects, both in wind and in process power industry with the chimney stacks to try and ascertain whether foundation bolts that are set into concrete are still suitable for operations. So look for corrosion losses, look for [00:18:00] defects. Um, so yeah, they’re all things that need thinking about before you just make the snap decision to repower. But I think  Joel Saxum: a lot of that, uh, going back to a couple minutes ago, you were talking about at the commissioning phase, making sure that you have proper qa, QC of how these things were installed day one, and then making sure that before commissioning of a turbine, they’re checked. I think that’s really important. We’re starting to see that in the blade world now too, where we’ve been talking about it for a long time, and now when you talk to operators, they’re like, we’re getting inspections done on the blades before they’re hung. Or at the factory before they’re hung. After they’re hung. Like they want a good foundation baseline. Are you seeing that in the bolted connection world too?  Pete Andrews: Yes. Sort of. It’s just emerging for us. What we’ve found is, so most of our customers are in the operational phase ’cause they are the ones feeling the pain. Yeah. Of the routine retitling work. When they do major components, they sometimes engage us to come and say, can you check [00:19:00] before and after the blade was removed? What was it? Before we took it off from a a bolt load perspective, what is it afterwards? Can you then recheck after 500 hours When we retalk it? And what we’ve seen there often is the initial install hasn’t got them to where they needed to be and they’ve had to go and do the break in maintenance or the 500 hour REIT to get the bolts to the right load. So one of the questions that we have is whether. Some of the defects are actually being initiated very early on in that initial running in period and whether if, if actually you’d taken the time at, at the point of assembly to make sure you were correct, whether that avoids some of the knock on integrity concerns. So yeah, it’s interesting area.  Allen Hall: Well, bolts are what hold wind turbines together and you better know you have the right. Tension and [00:20:00] torque on your bolts to get to the lifetime of the wind turbine and to, and to check it once in a while. And I know there’s a lot of operators I can think of right now in the United States that are sort of doing that job somewhat. I I think they have missed out on opportunities to save a lot of money and to call it echo bolt. How do people get ahold of you? Because that’s one thing I run into all the time. Like, Hey, hey, you gotta talk to Ebol, call Ebol. How do they get ahold of you?  Pete Andrews: So the easiest ways are via our website. Which is echo bolt.com. Um, LinkedIn, you’ll find us at Echo Bolt on LinkedIn. Reach out. Our email would be info@cobolt.com. So any of those route and you’ll, uh, reach me and the team and more than happy to speak to you about any of your faulting concerns or problems. We are, uh, yeah, we’re passionate about your problems.  Allen Hall: Pete, thank you so much for being on this podcast. I, it is great to actually see you in person and see the bolt wave technology.

Avete mai provato a inviare un video in uno stadio pieno? Sessantamila persone, tutte con il telefono in mano… e la rete che sembra non reggere. Oggi però le cose stanno cambiando.Le nuove reti programmabili sono capaci di adattarsi da sole: cambiano forma, priorità e capacità in tempo reale, solo quando serve. E non è tutto: anche ciò che viaggia dentro la rete sta diventando più intelligente. Le intelligenze artificiali imparano a comprimere immagini, video e dati in modo più efficiente, così che tutto arrivi più veloce e con meno sprechi. Ne parliamo nella quarta puntata di “Connessioni Invisibili”, il nostro viaggio nel mondo delle telecomunicazioni. In questa serie, insieme a ricercatrici e ricercatori delle più prestigiose università italiane, raccontiamo RESTART, il più importante programma di ricerca e sviluppo mai realizzato in Italia nel settore delle telecomunicazioni, per scoprire e capire come la ricerca sta cambiando profondamente il volto dell'Italia, rendendola più connessa, sostenibile e smart.CONNESSIONI INVISIBILI Viaggio nel mondo delle Telecomunicazioniè una serie realizzata daThink about Science per e con Fondazione RESTARTRaccontata da Massimo PolidoroScritta con Lorenzo PalettiCon la partecipazione di: Stefania Bartoletti - Università di Roma Tor VergataAngela Sara Cacciapuoti - Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico IIAntonio Capone - Politecnico di MilanoMarco Giordani - Università degli Studi di PadovaMemedhe Ibrahimi - Politecnico di Milano Mattia Magnaghi - Politecnico di MilanoFrancesca Meneghello · Northeastern University, Boston e Università degli Studi di Padova.Andrea Migliorati - Politecnico di TorinoEugenio Moro - Politecnico di MilanoDario Tagliaferri - Politecnico di MilanoResponsabili del progettoAntonio Capone, Fondazione RESTARTNicola Blefari Melazzi, Fondazione RESTARTTeam Comunicazione, Fondazione RESTARTElena Bottaro, Think about ScienceGrafica e produzione video a cura di Zampediverse Si ringrazia il Politecnico di Milano - Campus Leonardo per avere ospitato le riprese.RESTART è finanziato dall'Unione Europea - NextGenerationEU nell'ambito del PNRR - M4C2, Investimento 1.3, Avviso n. 341 del 15-03-2022 del Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca (MUR)

Una volta servivano cavi, spine e prese. Oggi basta l'aria che ci circonda.Le reti wireless ci permettono da anni di parlare, navigare, guardare film o ascoltare musica senza fili ma ora stanno imparando anche a “sentire” l'ambiente. Le onde radio possono capire se una stanza è affollata, se qualcuno si muove o se un'auto si avvicina a un incrocio.È la nuova frontiera del sensing wireless, dove comunicazione e percezione si fondono. Ne parliamo nella terza puntata di “Connessioni Invisibili”, il nostro viaggio nel mondo delle telecomunicazioni. In questa serie, insieme a ricercatrici e ricercatori delle più prestigiose università italiane, raccontiamo RESTART, il più importante programma di ricerca e sviluppo mai realizzato in Italia nel settore delle telecomunicazioni, per scoprire e capire come la ricerca sta cambiando profondamente il volto dell'Italia, rendendola più connessa, sostenibile e smart.CONNESSIONI INVISIBILI Viaggio nel mondo delle Telecomunicazioniè una serie realizzata daThink about Science per e con Fondazione RESTARTRaccontata da Massimo PolidoroScritta con Lorenzo PalettiCon la partecipazione di: Stefania Bartoletti - Università di Roma Tor VergataAngela Sara Cacciapuoti - Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico IIAntonio Capone - Politecnico di MilanoMarco Giordani - Università degli Studi di PadovaMemedhe Ibrahimi - Politecnico di Milano Mattia Magnaghi - Politecnico di MilanoFrancesca Meneghello · Northeastern University, Boston e Università degli Studi di Padova.Andrea Migliorati - Politecnico di TorinoEugenio Moro - Politecnico di MilanoDario Tagliaferri - Politecnico di MilanoResponsabili del progettoAntonio Capone, Fondazione RESTARTNicola Blefari Melazzi, Fondazione RESTARTTeam Comunicazione, Fondazione RESTARTElena Bottaro, Think about ScienceGrafica e produzione video a cura di Zampediverse Si ringrazia il Politecnico di Milano - Campus Leonardo per avere ospitato le riprese.RESTART è finanziato dall'Unione Europea - NextGenerationEU nell'ambito del PNRR - M4C2, Investimento 1.3, Avviso n. 341 del 15-03-2022 del Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca (MUR)

Latvijas autobraucējiem joprojām lielas problēmas sagādā braukšana krēslas stundās. Šajā laikā izraisīto ceļu satiksmes negadījumu skaits turpina pieaugt. Ko pie stūres darām nepareizi laikā, kad visa diena var būt kā nebeidzama krēslas stunda? Raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot analizē Ceļu satiksmes drošības dienesta satiksmes drošības eksperts Oskars Irbītis un Drošas braukšanas skolas apmācību direktors Edmunds Ozolnieks. Runājot par uzmanības novēršanu pie stūres, Oskars Irbītis min, ka skandināvu speciālisti runā ne tikai par telefoniem, bet traucēt var arī bulciņa, kafija. "Mums ir tādi multidarītāji - vienā rokā glāze, otrā - hamburgers un ar ceļgalu stūrē," bilst Oskars Irbītis. Edmunds Ozolnieks norāda, ka viņš regulāri kursos jautā autovadītājiem, kurš māk ar kājām stūrēt. Reti kurš nepaceļ roku. "Mūsu ikdienas ritms prasa daudz manipulācijas darīt vienlaicīgi, tajā brīdī mēs aizmirstam. Bet kad veic kādu darbību, pilnībā esi novērsies no ceļa, pauze jau neiestājas, tu turpini braukt," vērtē Edmunds Ozolnieks. "Īpaši, ja brauc ārpus pilsētas, kur liela problēma ir dzīvnieki. Alnis jau neizmāks uz ceļa ar karodziņu - hei, es nāku! Un vēl ar atstarotāju. Kad leks, tad leks un skries.  Mēs esam braukšanas sajūtu nolaiduši līdz automātismam, mūsu iekšējais ķermenis strādā kā autopilotā un mums neliekas, ka tas ir kaut kas sarežģīts. Tanī brīdī arī varam daudzas lietas darīt, nepadomājot, ka novēršamies no pamatlietas, no no braukšanas. Tā zaudējam koncentrāciju uz ceļu un iegūstam negadījumus."

In questa nuova puntata non possiamo non cominciare ringraziando gli ascoltatori che sono venuti a trovarci nella grigia Ginevra per una giornata con visita al CERN, alla città, e tradizioni culinarie a base di latticini! C'è chi dice che sia stata una bellissima giornata e c'è chi mente.Tornando alla scienza si realizza finalmente il sogno di Valeria, perché la puntata si apre con Francesca che parla di virus! Un nuovo preprint pubblicato dai ricercatori di Stanford ha sfruttato l'intelligenza artificiale per progettare nuovi batteriofagi in grado di infettare uno specifico ceppo di E. Coli. Diversi fagi sono stati sintetizzati e sono risultati infettivi e specifici! Nell'attesa che l'articolo sia pubblicato, questa potrebbe essere una nuova frontiera per la terapia fagica che è una delle armi a disposizione per combattere la resistenza agli antibiotici.Leonardo in esterna intervista Marco Giordani, professore di telecomunicazioni all'Università di Padova che ci spiega alcune sfide tecnologiche dietro alle moderne reti satellitari, continuando l'approfondimento iniziato la scorsa settimana.Tornati in studio, dopo una barza statisticamente brutta, Valeria ci parla di un nuovo articolo pubblicato su Nature, in cui viene identificato un nuovo recettore per TBEV, il virus dell'encefalite da zecche. Questa proteina, chiamata LRP8, è necessaria al virus per entrare nelle cellule ed è presente nelle cellule del sistema nervoso. I ricercatori, dopo aver verificato l'interazione specifica tra il virus e la proteina, hanno anche sviluppato una forma di recettore solubile che è capace di legarsi al virus e prevenire l'infezione nelle cellule e anche nei topi.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scientificast-la-scienza-come-non-l-hai-mai-sentita--1762253/support.
