A team including Japanese government-backed research institute Riken has developed a plastic material that is as strong and easy to process as conventional plastics but can be dissolved in seawater in just a few hours.

塩水で分解するプラスチック従来のプラスチックに匹敵する硬さや強度がありながら、塩水に漬けると数時間で分解される素材を開発したと、理化学研究所と東京大などの国際共同研究チームが２２日付の米科学誌サイエンス電子版に発表した。 A team including Japanese government-backed research institute Riken has developed a plastic material that is as strong and easy to process as conventional plastics but can be dissolved in seawater in just a few hours.

Japanese research institute Riken said Tuesday that the Fugaku supercomputer, developed jointly with Fujitsu Ltd., topped two global rankings for the 10th consecutive time.

スーパーコンピューター「富岳」、神戸市中央区理化学研究所は１９日、スーパーコンピューターの計算速度世界ランキングで、理研や富士通が開発した「富岳」が、産業利用などで用いられる演算能力を測る「ＨＰＣＧ」など２部門で、２０２０年６月の初登場から１０期連続の１位を獲得したと発表した。 Japanese research institute Riken said Tuesday that the Fugaku supercomputer, developed jointly with Fujitsu Ltd., topped two global rankings for the 10th consecutive time.

For the second episode in a row, we promise to deliver a thrilling discussion about two brands of Japanese cameras that have more in common than you might think.  Fuji and Ricoh both started making products for the photography industry right before the war, but originally started out in different industries, for Fuji, it was celluloid plastics and Ricoh (then called Riken) it was as a chemicals research company.  Each took a path making lenses and cameras, but in both instances photography was never each company's main focus.  Both Fuji and Ricoh invested heavily in the photocopier industry in the later part of the 20th century, and both successfully made the jump into the digital camera world.  Both companies continue to make new cameras today, Fuji with their excellent lineup of X-Series digital mirrorless, and Ricoh with their GR point and shoots and their ownership of the Pentax brand. In this episode, Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike are joined by Paul's personal Fuji rep, Bob Grzesiak, returning callers, Brad Swain, Howard Sandler, Mark Faulkner, Miles Libak, and first time caller, Dan Cuny. We extensively cover many of Fuji's medium format cameras from the Texas Leica, their variety of 4.5x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, and even their lone 6x12 model, plus the company's mid century rangefinders, the extremely compact and very quirky Fujica Mini, their entry into SLRs with the Fujicarex, the Fuji ST-series, and the unloved Fuji AX-series.  For Ricoh, time is spent on their Auto-Half series and Hi-Color 35, along with some of Ricoh's screw mount SLRs and Mike's favorite Ricoh, the Anscomark M interchangeable lens rangefinder camera. In addition, we get to hear which of these two companies used to throw the best parties for camera dealers, a little bit of history regarding the Fuji Finepix S-Series DSLRs, a bit about the Ricoh GR-series, plus a strange digital camera that had not only interchangeable lenses, but also interchangeable sensors, plus some bonus discussion about Mamiya Prismat "bastard cameras" like the original Ricoh Singlex with the "sorta" Nikon F-mount, and a strange Tower branded camera made by Mamiya with an Ihagee Exakta lens mount and a Canon lens. This proved to be a very lively discussion, covering a huge amount of different camera models from two brands that don't get discussed nearly as often as others.  If you find that your collection is thin on cameras by either of these manufacturers, this is the episode that will surely flare up a case of GAS.  Get ready to open your wallet! For the next episode, we will be exploring the world of third party lens makers like Vivitar, Sigma, Tamron, Spiratone and many others, plus we hope to revisit a topic that started in a thread on the Camerosity Podcast Facebook group regarding home processing.  Episode 74 will be recorded on Monday, July 22nd at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time.

fWotD Episode 2612: Nihonium Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 29 June 2024 is Nihonium.Nihonium, originally named ununtrium, is a synthetic chemical element; it has symbol Nh and atomic number 113. It is extremely radioactive: its most stable known isotope, nihonium-286, has a half-life of about 10 seconds. In the periodic table, nihonium is a transactinide element in the p-block. It is a member of period 7 and group 13.Nihonium was first reported to have been created in experiments being carried out between 14 July to August 10, 2003, by a Russian–American collaboration at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia working in collaboration with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, and in July 23, 2004, by a team of Japanese scientists at Riken in Wakō, Japan. The confirmation of their claims in the ensuing years involved independent teams of scientists working in the United States, Germany, Sweden, and China, as well as the original claimants in Russia and Japan. In 2015, the IUPAC/IUPAP Joint Working Party recognised the element and assigned the priority of the discovery and naming rights for the element to Riken. The Riken team suggested the name nihonium in 2016, which was approved in the same year. The name comes from the common Japanese name for Japan (日本, nihon).Very little is known about nihonium, as it has only been made in very small amounts that decay within seconds. The anomalously long lives of some superheavy nuclides, including some nihonium isotopes, are explained by the "island of stability" theory. Experiments support the theory, with the half-lives of the confirmed nihonium isotopes increasing from milliseconds to seconds as neutrons are added and the island is approached. Nihonium has been calculated to have similar properties to its homologues boron, aluminium, gallium, indium, and thallium. All but boron are post-transition metals, and nihonium is expected to be a post-transition metal as well. It should also show several major differences from them; for example, nihonium should be more stable in the +1 oxidation state than the +3 state, like thallium, but in the +1 state nihonium should behave more like silver and astatine than thallium. Preliminary experiments in 2017 showed that elemental nihonium is not very volatile; its chemistry remains largely unexplored.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Saturday, 29 June 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Nihonium on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.

Vanuit de IBM-studio krijgen we altijd ondersteuning van Jan Smit of Yvo Donders. Vandaag net voor de opnames hoorden we dat Yvo gaat genieten van zijn welverdiende pensioen. Yvo bedankt voor je inzet en geniet van je vrijetijd. De rode draad door de podcast was toch wel deployable architecturen of te wel, infrastructuur als code. We hebben dit gezien in op het IBM SAP event in Walldorf waar SAP in uren tot dagen uitgerold kan worden in plaats van weken. Maar ook nu IBM de overname van HashiCorp heeft aangekondigd. HashiCorp is onder andere bekend van Terraform, een tool om geautomatiseerd infrastructuren in te richten.IBM Power blijft innoveren in de IBM Cloud want de 21st datacenter is alweer operationeel, deze keer in Chennai (India). Maar niet alleen Power blijft innoveren maar de volgende opslag oplossing staat alweer klaar, de IBM Storage Flash Systems 5300. Wist je dat de 5200 non-disruptive te updaten is naar de 5300? In Japan wordt door RIKEN en IBM de eerste multi architectuur supercomputer gebouwd met kwantum. De IBM Quantum Heron processor wordt hiervoor gebruikt en deze beschikt over 133 qubits. De naam van de supercomputer wordt Fugaku. Er komt nog veel meer aan bod natuurlijk, veel luisterplezier.

Riken Yamamoto is a Japanese architect based in Tokyo. He founded his architecture practice Riken Yamamoto & Field Shop in 1973 and has since then realized an important amount of built work mainly located in Japan. Riken spent lots of time discussing architecture with his friends Tadao Ando and Toyo Ito, but they also enjoy taking their minds off things sometimes by singing karaoke. A podcast about a life dedicated to architecture. Riken Yamamoto's reading advice: The space of power, the power of space. Designing the relationship between the individual and the state, Riken Yamamoto, 2015. Hannah Arendt's books. — Interview by Roxane Le Grelle and Cyril Veillon.

Japan's Fugaku supercomputer developed by the Riken research group and Fujitsu has been ranked the world's most powerful supercomputer for the seventh time in a row since 2020. Meanwhile, a group including several Japanese universities has said it will use Fugaku to develop tools using generative artificial intelligence. In other news, Japan is considering a revamp of its tax-free shopping system following the growing trend of reselling tax-free goods overseas. And finally, the lone yokozuna-level sumo wrestler ‘Terunofuji' and the former ozeki-level ‘Asanoyama' both lead the field yesterday at this year's Summer Grand Sumo Tournament taking place at the Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Arena from May 14th until the 28th. And with the current Netflix drama “Sanctuary” proving a hit, we head to Ryogoku. Tickets have completely sold out so we wait outside as a trickle of sumo wrestlers march in and then saunter out, one by one. — Substack: notebookpodcast.substack.com Instagram: @notebook_pod Twitter: @notebook_pod — Get in touch: notebook.podcast@gmail.com Leave a message: speakpipe.com/notebook — Learn more about your ad choices.

Satoshi Matsuoka (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Matsuoka) from April 2018 has been the director of Riken Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), the Tier-1 national HPC center for Japan, developing and hosting Japan's flagship ‘Fugaku' supercomputer which has become the fastest supercomputer in the world in all four major supercomputer rankings in 2020 and 2021 (Top500, HPCG, HPL-AI, Graph500), along with multitudes of ongoing cutting edge HPC research being conducted, including investigating Post-Moore era computing, especially the future FugakuNEXT supercomputer.  He was the leader of the TSUBAME series of supercomputers that had also received many international acclaims, at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, where he still holds a professor position, to continue his research activities in HPC as well as scalable Big Data and AI.  His longtime contribution was commended with the Medal of Honor with Purple ribbon by his Majesty Emperor Naruhito of Japan in 2022. Other accolades include the Fellow positions in societies/conferences ACM, ISC, and the JSSST; the ACM Gordon Bell Prizes in 2011 & 2021; the IEEE-CS Sidney Fernbach Award in 2014 as well as the IEEE-CS Computer Society Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award in 2022, both being the highest awards in the field of HPC, and the only individual to receive both awards; the Technical Papers Chair and the Program Chair for ACM/IEEE Supercomputing 2009 and 2013 (SC09 and SC13) respectively as well as many other conference chairs, and the ACM Gordon Bell Prize selection committee chair in 2018. In this interview, Professor Satoshi Matsuoka shared some of the highlights from his talk at SuperComputingAsia 2023 (Singapore), including the supercomputing developments in Japan, and Fugaku, the largest in Japan and one of the first 'exascale' supercomputers of the world. With applications ranging from manufacturing, disaster prevention to creating new drugs, he noted that supercomputers allow us to investigate the past, and to predict the future.  To give the audience context, Professor compares Fugaku supercomputer to everyday applications such as gaming (create “virtual worlds, but much more in a scientific way”), and smart phones (20 million times more powerful than a smartphone). In terms of power consumption, it is equivalent to running the Tokyo Disney Resort, and as such, power efficiency is critical in the overall management and operations of Fugaku – especially with carbon neutrality as a key agenda topic today. Professor Satoshi Matsuoka also touched on cybersecurity and how privacy and anonymisiation are growing areas of focus with the increasing adoption of digital twins in medical sciences. Wrapping up, he pointed out some short term goals for supercomputing in Japan to realise further synergies with the “IT” industry, and the efforts for the successor of Fugaku, FugakuNEXT, to be deployed around 2029. Recorded 28th February 2023, 12noon, SuperComputingAsia 2023, Singapore Expo.

La puntata di questa settimana trova ai microfoni una coppia di conduttori inedita: Anna e Luca. E inedito è anche l'approccio. Sia i due conduttori, sia l'inviato esterno escono dalla loro comfort zone parlando di argomenti esterni al loro principale campo di studi.Luca lancia la puntata riportando una notizia folkloristica di ingegneria elettronica direttamente dal RIKEN, un centro di ricerca in Giappone dove Anna a lavorato e dove Marco Casolino lavora tuttora.I ricercatori al RIKEN hanno sviluppato un circuito che può essere applicato al torace degli scarafaggi (vivi) per poi telecomandare i loro movimenti. Il progetto dei ricercatori è di usare questo sistema per cercare nelle macerie vittime dei terremoti poichè gli scarafaggi possono passare anche dove noi esseri più grossi non potremmo.Nell'esterna Andrea intervista la dottoressa Marianne Moedlinger, archeologa ed esperta metallurgista che ci parla dei sui suoi studi sui bronzi antichi.Tornati in studio dopo una barza di Luca, brutta come poche, Anna parla di un modello creato da tre fisici italiani che cerca di rispondere alla domanda: esiste la meritocrazia nel successo?Spoiler alert, la risposta sembra essere no. Il modello mostra in modo piuttosto netto come sia la fortuna a determinare i nostri successi nel lungo termine. Il talento, e le nostre caratteristiche personali, propongono i ricercatori, potrebbero piuttosto modificare la probabilità di riuscire a sfruttare in modo efficace degli eventi fortunati.Ciò detto, il modello testa un tipo di successo materiale, come la quantità di soldi accumulati, ma non parla di felicità, soddisfazione, o benessere mentale. Quello che si propone è la necessità di ridefinire la relazione automatica che la nostra società fa tra successo e talento.

英语新闻∣科学家发明蟑螂机器人可用于搜索和救援任务While it may sound like something that has crawled out of your nightmares, cyborg cockroaches have arrived as friends rather than foes.虽然蟑螂机器人听起来很恐怖，但是它其实是人类的朋友而非敌人。Scientists in Japan have designed a new remote-controlled insect, equipped with a battery 'backpack' that is powered by solar panels.日本科学家设计了一款新型遥控蟑螂机器人，它配备了由太阳能电池板供电的电池“背包”。Thecockroach, which is part insect and part machine, is intended to enterhazardous areas, monitor the environment or undertake search and rescue missions without needing to be recharged.这种蟑螂机器人是蟑螂和机器人的混合体，无需充电，用于进入危险区域，监测环境或执行搜救援任务。The researchers from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research had to install some components into a tiny pack to allow for all the roach's natural movements.来自RIKEN Cluster的研究人员进行了开创性的研究，他们必须将一些组件安装到一个小背包中，以便让蟑螂自由行动。Lead author Kenjiro Fukuda said: 'The body-mounted ultrathin organic solar cell module achieves a power output of 17.2 mW, which is more than 50 times larger than the power output of current state-of-the art energy harvesting devices on living insects.'研究报告的主要作者福田健次郎称：“安装在蟑螂机器人身体上的超薄有机太阳能电池模块的输出功率为17.2兆瓦，比目前最先进的昆虫能量收集装置的输出功率高出50多倍。”Famously able to survive a nuclear war, cockroaches have been the inspiration for a number of technologies in recent years.众所周知，蟑螂能够在核战争中幸存下来，近年来，它一直是许多技术的灵感来源。Different teams of scientists have designed remote-controlled robo-bugs that canscale walls, carry objects and find humans during search-and-rescue missions.一些科学家团队设计了可遥控的昆虫机器人，它们可以在搜救援任务中穿墙、携带物体和寻找人类。The cockroaches are still alive, but wires attached to their two 'cerci' - sensory organs on the end of their abdomens - send electrical impulses that cause the insect to move right or left.蟑螂机器人是有生命的，但连接在蟑螂腹部末端的两个感觉器官“尾蚴”上的电线发出电脉冲，控制它左右移动。A battery is necessary for the sending and receiving of these electrical signals, which needs to be charged up.发送和接收这些电流信号需要电池，而电池需要充电。While it's possible to build docking stations for recharging the battery, the need to return and recharge could disrupt time-sensitive missions.虽然可以建造充电站为电池充电，但返回充电可能会使时间紧迫的任务中断。The RIKEN team wanted to create a more practical version that did not need to return to a docking station when it ran out of power.RIKEN团队希望打造一个更实用的蟑螂机器人，在电源耗尽时不需要返回充电站。Therefore, they designed an on-board solar cell that could continuously ensure that the cockroach stays charged while it works.因此，他们设计了一种太阳能电池，可以持续确保蟑螂在工作时保持充电。However, cockroaches have a limited surface area available for all the components necessary to move its legs and keep it powered.然而，蟑螂的大小限制了它可以携带的腿部遥控组件的大小。The solution, published in npj Flexible Electronics, was to design a special 'backpack' that could neatly carry both the wireless leg-control module and rechargeable lithium polymer battery.于是研究人员设计了一种特殊的背包，以便于蟑螂携带遥控模块和可充电锂聚合物电池。这一研究成果发表在《npj-柔性电子》上。This was attached to the top of the insect on itsthorax, and was 3D printed to fit perfectly to the curved surface of the Madagascar cockroach or Gromphadorhina portentosa.研究人员将背包固定在蟑螂的胸腹上部，并运用3D打印技术使其完美贴合马达加斯加蟑螂的身体。It allowed for this electronic device to be stably mounted on the insect for over a month, while leaving space elsewhere on the body to implant the solar panel.这种电子设备可以固定在蟑螂身上一个多月，同时还留出空间给蟑螂植入太阳能电池板。The 0.004 mm thick organic solar cell module was mounted on the dorsal side of the roach's abdomen.0.004毫米厚的有机太阳能电池模块安装在蟑螂腹部的背侧。Cockroach英[ˈkɒkrəʊtʃ]美[ˈkɑkroʊtʃ]n.

Vi börjar följa tråden av konceptet med Guds rike och regerande på jorden. Vi börjar i 1 Mosebok där vi ser hur människan ska råda över skapelsen som Guds avbilder. Vi kommer sedan till 2 Mosebok där vi pratar om sammandrabbningen mellan Egypten (Världens rike) och Guds rike. Herren som strider mot Egyptens gudar. Gud är en räddande, befriande Gud som vill ta ut sitt folk och ha en relation med dem. Göra folket till ett ljus och välsignelse för hela världen. Allt detta är som porträtt och bilder som sen kommer leda oss fram till Jesu ultimata rike framöver.  Följ oss på sociala medier: http://instagram.com/spridordetpodcast http://facebook.com/spridordet

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Sophia Chen interviews Kenjiro Fukuda from RIKEN in Japan and Masahito Takakuwa of Waseda University about a technique to connect integrated electronics while maintaining their flexibility. They demonstrated the method on two gold electrodes. To make the two pieces of gold bond, the researchers treated the gold with water vapor plasma. The researchers used this technique to electrically connect the gold electrodes of an organic photovoltaic to an organic light-emitting diode without adding significant thickness, thereby ensuring the flexibility of the device. This study is published in Science Advances (doi:10.1126/sciadv.abl6228).

Der Basler Regierungspräsident Beat Jans hat einen Gedanken geäussert, der in Basel lange als verboten galt: Könnte und sollte man die Fasnacht dieses Jahr nicht vielleicht doch in eine von Viren weniger belastete Jahreszeit verschieben?! In Fasnachtskreisen wird dieser Gedanke nun heiss diskutiert. Weiter in der Sendung:  [00:04:00] ZH: Jugendvorstoss – sinnvoll oder nur symbolisch? Nach Uster, Zürich und Winterthur führt auch Bülach den Jugendvorstoss ein. Und das obwohl es dieses Instrument in anderen Regionen schon Jahre gibt und es wenig genutzt wird. Macht es trotzdem Sinn dieses politische Mittel einzuführen? Ist es mehr als nur ein symbolisches Mitspracherecht? Antworten hat Corsin Bisaz. Er hat an der Uni Zürich vor einigen Jahren eine Studie zum Thema gemacht. [00:06:57] AG: Krise bei Samaritervereinen hat Konsequenzen 109 Jahre alt wurde der Samariterverein Murgenthal. Im Oktober waren die Samariterinnen und Samariter noch am Radquer in Riken im Einsatz. Nun wurde der Verein aufgelöst. Es konnten nicht mehr genügend Mitgliederinnen gefunden werden. Das Problem gibt es vielerorts. Immer weniger Leute wollen sich engagieren. Zudem sind die Samaritervereine nicht mehr die einzigen, die Nothelferkurse anbieten dürfen. Der Kontakt zu jungen Leuten geht dadurch verloren. Dabei wären sie in den Dörfern eigentlich durchaus wichtig. Denn der Samariterverein arbeitet am Dorffest deutlich günstiger als eine Profiorganisation.  [00:09:45] ZS: Pflegefachmann darf an Berufsweltmeisterschaften Der 22-jährige Kilian Schmid arbeitet als Pfleger in der Luzerner Hirslandenklinik St. Anna und absolviert das Studium zum Pflegefachmann. Im Oktober reist er an die Berufsweltmeisterschaften nach Shanghai. Es ist das erste Mal, dass ein Schweizer Pflegefachmann an den World Skills antritt.  [00:12:07] SG: Grüninger-Tochter Ruth Roduner gestorben Ihr Vater – Polizeikommandant Paul Grüninger – hatte hunderten Jüdinnen und Juden das Leben gerettet. Dafür wurde er verurteilt und geächtet. Für die Familie folgte ein Leben in Armut. Ruth Roduner-Grüninger kämpfte ihr Leben lang um Anerkennung für ihren Vater. Sie erwirkte eine Rehabilitierung, offizielle Entschuldigungen und Ehrungen. Nun ist Ruth Roduner mit 100 Jahren gestorben. Weitere Themen: - Das Magazin: Basler Fasnacht im Sommer?

Star-Architekt Riken Yamamoto über den neuen Circle in Zürich

Dans la série des questions que l'on s'est tous posé au moins une fois, on retrouve celle-ci : quel est l'ordinateur le plus puissant du monde ? Et bien pour la quatrième fois consécutive, c'est le supercalculateur japonais Fugaku qui a remporté ce titre, trônant en tête du classement édité par le site TOP500. Pourquoi lui plus qu'un autre ? Et à quel point est-il puissant ? C'est ce que je vous propose de voir dans cet épisode.Dans le détail, cet ordinateur a été développé par Fujitsu et l'institut national de recherche japonais Riken. Et le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est que ses capacités sont exceptionnelles. En effet, le Fugaku peut atteindre une vitesse de calcul de 442 pétaflops d'après TOP500, ce qui représente le triple de la vitesse du superordinateur américain Summit, construit par IBM. Une puissance de calcul phénoménale qui permet donc aux chercheurs d'explorer de nombreux sujets comme la propagation du COVID-19 par la dispersion de gouttelettes. Autre recherches menées grâce au Fugaku, les prévisions météorologiques, ou encore des simulations de haute précision pour aider les avions de la compagnie Kawasaki Heavy Industries à économiser du carburant, ou encore réaliser des tests d'usinages pour DMG Mori Seiki en seulement 10 minutes au lieu des huit heures en temps normal.Bref, vous l'avez compris, le supercalculateur Fugaku est absolument incroyable. Reste que ce succès pourrait bien s'évaporer très prochainement puisque des concurrents américains et chinois développent en ce moment même trois supercalculateurs avec une vitesse d'au moins un exaflop, ce qui dépasse l'entendement. Aux Etats-Unis, Le système Frontier pourrait être opérationnel dès l'année prochaine, et en Chine les systèmes TaihuLight et Tianhe-2 devrait voir le jour dès l'été prochain. Une concurrence que le Japon prend très au sérieux… D'après le ministère de l'éducation, de la culture, des sports, des sciences et de la technologie que je cite, « le Japon doit s'appuyer sur le travail réalisé avec le Fugaku et développer son successeur afin de renforcer la compétitivité industrielle et résoudre les grands défis sociétaux ». Un beau discours qui pour l'heure n'est pas encore assorti d'une véritable stratégie pour développer supercalculateur nouvelle génération... Le successeur de Fugaku pourrait être opérationnel aux alentours de 2025. Voir Acast.com/privacy pour les informations sur la vie privée et l'opt-out.

In questo audio il prezioso incontro don Domenico De Masi sociologo e Raffaella Rumiati scienziata. Una densa intervista quasi una sorta di lectio magistrali a due, su argomenti cruciali del contemporaneo. L'intervista con Domenico De Masi e Raffaella Rumiati è in Contemporaneamente a cura di Mariantonietta Firmani, il podcast pensato per Artribune.In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà.Con Domenico De Masi e Raffaella Rumiati parliamo di società e lavoro, neuroscienze tra ricerca e applicazione. Negli anni è cambiato sostanzialmente il concetto di lavoro dal lavoro operaio, al lavoro cognitivo al lavoro creativo. La neuro psicologia analizza le misure fisiologiche dei processi della mente, fino alla riserva cognitiva in fattori extra biologici. Possiamo dire che la nostra epoca esprime il migliore dei mondi esistiti fino ad oggi, la vita è quasi raddoppiata nei paesi opulenti. Tuttavia il problema è che il dominio è occulto e poco riconoscibile, dopo il trionfo planetario del neo liberismo esercitato attraverso media e crisi economiche. Ed ancora, il sistema motorio si interfaccia con percezione, linguaggio e memoria. Il potenziamento cognitivo apre un problema etico di sperequazioni sociali. La conoscenza è l'unico modo per una vita consapevole e felice. E molto altro.

Durante il rovente episodio numero 369 i conduttori affronteranno il caldo torrido facendoci capire cause e conseguenze delle temperature in continua ascesa e affrontando temi di calda attualità come l'identità di genere.Giorgio ci parla del 6° rapporto dell'IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) delle Nazioni Unite. Il rapporto è la revisione critica dei lavori scientifici pubblicati sull'argomento. Questo ci conferma che il cambiamento climatico è prevalentemente di origine antropica e dettato dall'aumento dei gas serra in atmosfera. Una conseguenza è l'aumento degli eventi meteorologici estremi a cui stiamo assistendo. E per il futuro? Alcuni dei cambiamenti che abbiamo causato sono irreversibili, almeno in una scala di secoli se non millenni. Però possiamo evitare che questo processo peggiori, e il rapporto illustra i possibili futuri a seconda delle contromisure che possiamo prendere a partire da oggi.Nell'intervento esterno poi Marco intervista Emilia Bergoglio, Laurea in neuroscienze ad univ. Trieste. Dopo uno stage al RIKEN, PhD alla University of Tokyo, ora lavora presso una startup a Tokyo. E' una persona di genere non binario, con lei parlerà appunto di genere, sesso, e linguistica associata.Infine Romina, torna a parlare di cambiamenti climatici. Ci illustra, infatti, un modello matematico, scoperto da Alan Turing applicato all'ambiente per spiegare il fatto che, nelle zone aride, la vegetazione assume determinate configurazioni spaziali a macchie o a strisce. Attraverso questi modelli è possibile capire quali fattori influenzano questo fenomeno e quando bisogna allarmarsi per un'imminente desertificazione.

Som alla veneriska sjukdomar var Syfilis belagd med skam - men samtidigt så utbredd att den fick stort genomslag i kulturen. Författaren Anneli Jordahl reflekterar över sjukdomens betydelser och vår tidlösa tilltro till vattnets läkande kraft. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. All sjukdom döda. Så löd en strof i en dikt om vattnets helande kraft vid järnkällan i kallvattenkuranstalten Augustenbad. Källvattnet ansågs magiskt, särskilt kraftfullt vid midsommarafton, sjuka människor vallfärdade dit. Kurorten låg i en prunkande dal vid rullstensåsen i sörmländska Bie, en liten by en mil norr om Katrineholm. Dit flyttade jag i början av 2000-talet och bodde granne med kurortsplatsen. Kvar som ett minne om fornstora dar stod två källöverbyggnader. Särskilt den gotiska förlänade parken en gåtfull skönhet. Det porlade från bäckar, källor och rännilar kring parken. Vid hembygdsföreningens stånd en marknadsdag i juni bläddrade jag i Allan Degermans ambitiösa skrift om kurortsläkaren Per Axel Levin verksam i Bie. En stridbar hydroterapeut känd för att under slutet av 1800-talet bota syfilitiker och alkoholister med iskalla bad. Jag läste och tittade upp mot åshöjden där en praktfull trävilla tronade. Aha, där vårdades alltså syfilissjuka. Inbäddade som mumier i blångarnslakan som doppats i sexgradigt vatten. Ironiskt nog kallas villan än i dag för Paradiset. Syfilis var närmast en folksjukdom på 1800-talet. Vandrar du i syfilisspår blir du snabbt smittad. Jag strök runt parken och försökte föreställa mig allt mänskligt lidande före penicillinet. Syfilis var närmast en folksjukdom på 1800-talet. Per Axel Levin var inte ensam inom läkarvetenskapen att undvika, eller tona ned, den gängse behandlingen med kvicksilver, vilken många gånger var mer livshotande än sjukdomen i sig. Vatten däremot, lindrade och förhindrade. Kurorterna bjöd på nationalromantisk nordisk sommarkänsla med skira björkstammar och lusthus efter promenadstigarna. Kurortstanken var en del av friskvårdsrörelsen och nationalismens vurm för landsbygden, som ett svar på urbaniseringen vid 1800-talets mitt. På baden tvagades den friska, hälsosamma svensken fram. Det nya seklet skulle byggas med kraft. Ett sunt sinne förväntades välja bort alkohol och dekadent leverne. Nu gällde gymnastik och skogspromenader. På så vis skulle också fattigdomen stävjas. Märkligt nog är vi inte många som skrivit om syfilis. I mina anteckningsböcker växte det fram en sommar i slutet av 1800-talet. Det blev en roman om lidande, passioner och död. Sjukdomar och dödsångest ger onekligen vitalitet åt litteraturen. Hur många sjukdomsskildringar ges det ut på ett bokår? Själv hade jag stor användning av författaren Alphonse Daudets dagboksanteckningar om sjukdomens nedbrytande förlopp i slutskedet. Han badar också på kurorter vid samma tid som min roman utspelar sig.  I den ofullbordade "I smärtans riken" som gavs ut efter hans död nämner han sina olycksbröder, Baudelaire, Flaubert och Heine. Märkligt nog är vi inte många som skrivit om syfilis. Min roman "Augustenbad en sommar" nämns i litteraturforskaren Agneta Rahikainens "Smittans rike om syfilis i konst, kultur och kropp", en studie som utgår från morfaderns död i sjukdomen. På Paradisets veranda sitter min fiktiva Amanda Eggerts vid fullmånenätter och skriver onda sagor. På den tiden var det socialt accepterat att män köpte sex och smittan överfördes till hustrun. Eggerts skelett vittrar i tredje stadiet. Alla reagerar individuellt på den nyckfulla sjukdomen. Förloppet kunde stanna vid det första och mycket smittsamma fasen då en plita uppstår på könet. Eller stanna vid det andra stadiet som innebär svår värk, yrsel och synrubbningar. I Rahikainens bok bockar jag av kända män som lidit av sjukdomen, som Anders Zorn och finske symbolisten Hugo Simberg som är mest känd för målningen med två småpojkar som bär på en sårad ängel. Karen Blixen är en av få kvinnor i sjukdomens hall of fame. Hon smittades av sin man Bror Blixen och medan hon blev svårt sjuk och märkt för livet fortsatte han med lejonjakter och kvinnoaffärer. Jag dröjer mig spänt kvar i ett för mig nytt spår. Rahikainen skriver om hur barn till syfilitiker påverkas av sin erfarenhet. Enligt Freud kunde syfilissjuka föräldrar orsaka neuroser hos barnen. Kanske har konstnären Egon Schieles typiska förvrängda avmagrade kroppar att göra med erfarenheten av syfilisdrabbade föräldrar. Fadern vägrade erkänna sjukdomen som på grund av hjärnsyfilis gled över i galenskap. Sjukdomen innebar en sträng tystnadskultur i familjer och släkter. Skam och skuldbeläggande. Namnet var onämnbart och den andre skuldbelades: Prostituerade eller utlänningar. Fransosen kallades den i Sverige, spanjoren sa man i Frankrike. När syfilis spreds i de breda folklagren var glansen förlorad. I Europa spreds smittan redan på 1400-talet bland militärer och sjöfarare. Först hade den en tjusig stämpel eftersom kungar och högreståndspersoner drabbades. Enligt myten som inte stärkts av forskning kunde ett extatiskt tillstånd av genialitet uppstå när hjärnan angreps. Filosofen Friedrich Nietzsche brukar nämnas i den vevan. När syfilis spreds i de breda folklagren var glansen förlorad. Veneriska sjukdomar är fortfarande vidhäftade med skam. Var tredje svensk bär på herpesviruset vars symptom inte är helt olikt syfilis i första stadiet. Hur mycket får vi läsa om det, förutom i Johan Jönsons famösa dikt. I dag botas syfilis snabbt med penicillin, för dem som har tillgång till antibiotika, vill säga. I fattiga länder kvarstår lidandet. Vad händer om mänskligheten blir resistent mot penicillin? Det är lätt att drabbas av sjukdomsskräck. Hur ska oron stävjas? Vatten, vatten. Människans eviga tro på dess läkande kraft. När covid 19-pandemin bröt ut och smittan ökade som häftigast under vintermånaderna samlades avklädda människor på nedisade bryggor. Iklädda baddräkt och toppluva sänkte de sig i isvakar. Det blev en trend och reportagen om vinterbad fyllde medierna, isvatten påstods stärka immunförsvaret. Pandemin pågår fortfarande när jag påpälsad betraktar fotografen Sara Mac Keys bilder på vinterbadare, utställda på en brygga vid Söder Mälarstrand i Stockholm. Jag såg Bie kallvattenkuranstalt framför mig när jag huttrande iakttog badarna. Kom 90-talets spavåg - och en hysterisk konsumtion av mineralvatten - mitt under en folklig rädsla för hiv-smitta? Under covidpandemin kunde ett iskallt bad få en nedstämd och uttråkad person att blixtra till i förhöjd livskänsla. Om än för en kort stund. Kanske ett substitut för inställda partyn och släktkalas. Det får vara hur hälsosamt det vill, jag avstår. Jag badar aldrig under 20 grader. Sorgligt nog är därför mina bad lätträknade under en svensk sommar. Jag drabbas av dödsångest när iskylan griper tag om mig. Anneli Jordahl Litteratur Daudet, Alphonse, de Goncourt, Edmond, I smärtans riken, övers. Elisas Wraak (Alastor press).

Né en 1945 à Pékin, Riken Yamamoto fonde l'agence «Riken Yamamoto & Field Shop» en 1973. En 2007 il devient directeur de l'école d'architecture de Yokohama « Y-GSA », ville où il réalise le musée d'art entre 2004 et 2007. Comme pour l'ensemble de ses réalisations, l'architecte met en oeuvre dans ce bâtiment sa pensée du « vivre-ensemble » et sa volonté de proposer un modèle attractif d'espace architectural. Invité en 2014 au Pavillon de l'Arsenal ,Riken Yamamoto présente son projet de « Local Community Area » au travers duquel il théorise une réflexion nouvelle : "Le système d'aujourd'hui est fondé sur l'auto-assistance par une seule maison = une unité familiale. Cependant, cette unité sociale devient de plus en plus inutile. Alors, quelles autres manières de vivre y a-t-il?".

Welcome to the World news. World news keeps you updated news around the nations. Today's topic is "Japan's Fugaku Supercomputer is Helping Fight COVID-19" Scientists around the world are trying to find effective treatments for COVID-19, and they're getting extra support from Fugaku, a Japanese supercomputer. Fugaku — also another name for Mount Fuji — is kept in Kobe, Japan. Its installation began in December 2019, and even though it is not scheduled for full operation until 2021, it has been helping with coronavirus research since April 2020. The supercomputer has identified dozens of possible treatments for COVID-19. Researchers from Kyoto University used it to run molecular-level simulations on 2,128 existing drugs. Over ten days, it looked for those that can bond with proteins associated with the novel coronavirus and inactivate them. The dozens of drugs it identified include 12 that are already being tested around the world to treat the virus, but also a number that have not yet been looked at by scientists. Research company Riken, which developed the supercomputer with Fujitsu, have also used it to model how the virus could travel through the air in different places. Findings from that study suggest that keeping the windows on commuter trains open and limiting the number of passengers could reduce the risk of infection. Among the other research projects that could use Fugaku are those trying to find previously unknown characteristics of the still very new virus. The supercomputer could also be used to better understand the socio-economic impact of the pandemic, and contribute to countermeasures against the spread of the virus. In June 2020, Fugaku was named the world's fastest supercomputer. It can perform 415 quadrillion computations a second, which is 2.8 times faster than the former fastest supercomputer, the Summit system from the US. Fugaku is set to play a part in helping Japan achieve the goals in its Society 5.0 plan, which looks to use technology and data to balance economic growth with resolving social problems. Other than helping with medical science, it could be used to better predict natural disasters like earthquakes, or help with the development of clean energy.

A few years ago, a group of physicists created an unusual, never-before-seen subatomic particle. Using a particle accelerator at Riken, a Japanese research institute, they slammed streams of calcium nuclei against a metal disk, over and over, for hours at a time. Then, sifting through the aftermath of the collisions, they found their coveted particle. They named their creation: sodium. That's right, sodium.

Wenn der Sommerhimmel lacht und die Erde der Erntezeit entgegenwächst, ist das pralle Leben zu spüren. Aber wo genau zwischen Himmel und Erde leben wir? Und könnte es sein, dass sich Himmel und Erde berühren? Ein reformierter Sommergottesdienst aus der frisch renovierten Kirche Möriken. «Up in the Sky» singt der Frauenchor piCanti, und auch «Fly me to the Moon» oder «Stairway to Heaven». Singend holt der Chor so Pop- und Rockmusik in die Kirche, die ausserhalb solcher Gemäuer die Menschen vielfältig anspricht, auch gerade mit dem Bezug zum Himmel und der Sehnsucht nach mehr als dem rein Irdischen. Grund genug für Pfarrer Martin Kuse darüber nachzudenken, wie das denn nun sei mit dem Himmel und der Erde und dem Dazwischen.

What’s a thought? Could that chair have been water? Does perception precede production? What does it mean to know a language? How & why did humans end up acquiring the very complex (& ‘discontinuous’) linguistic capacity? How do we carry meaning detached from the real physical world? Do we reason axiomatically or algorithmically? Is semantics logical? Do non-human animals care about reasons? How different is our brain from the primates ‘right behind us’? Do the ‘number’ of brain areas matter; why? Does language have a tendency to structure itself? What is one innate with when one is born? Is the linguistic faculty inferential? Do languages, thoughts, artefacts and organisms co-evolve? How can’t language be? Do birdsongs carry information without grammatical structures? Can culture cause genetic changes? Is artificial language reflexive? How does a language talk about itself? Are non-human animals very serious? Can all languages express all thoughts? Are there thoughts that language cannot express? Can crows (say) evolve a ‘language’ in the distant future, or do we have an unassailable lead? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using concepts from linguistics (Prof. Veneeta Dayal, Rutgers University, New Brunswick), logic & philosophy (Dr. Nirmalya Guha, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal), & cognitive neuroscience (Prof. Atsushi Iriki, RIKEN, Wakō, Japan).

The APS March meeting is the largest gathering of physicists worldwide and Daniel is giving us our second quantum field report. Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/mequanics

See the full story with pictures at https://www.otsuka.co.jp/en/company/globalnews/ In September of 2016, Otsuka Pharmaceutical and RIKEN opened the RIKEN CDB-Otsuka Pharmaceutical Collaboration Center (COCC) inside the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology (RIKEN CDB), which is located in the city of Kobe. The COCC will be involved in collaborative developmental biology and regenerative medicine research projects with the goal of investigating disease mechanisms and discovering new drugs and therapeutic applications. The purpose of the COCC is not only to make new discoveries through such collaborative research projects, but also to train the next generation of scientists by hosting joint seminars and offering opportunities for personnel exchange. In connection with the opening of the COCC, the first steering committee meeting was held on September 6 at Otsuka in Tokushima to discuss the Center’s plans for collaborative research, information exchange, and personnel exchange. The RIKEN CDB Director, Hiroshi Hamada, M.D., Ph.D., presented a brief overview of RIKEN and the research in which it has been involved, and the RIKEN CDB Team Leader, Minoru Takasato, Ph.D., gave a presentation on kidney regeneration research using human-derived cells, which led to an animated discussion with Otsuka researchers. RIKEN CDB is a world-class research institution for basic research in the field of developmental biology and regenerative medicine. RIKEN has recently become known for its participation in the first clinical research in the world on the use of iPS cells in age-related macular degeneration, which has become an increasingly common cause of blindness in recent years. The COCC will be involved in joint research projects aimed at developing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and kidney diseases, which have been important areas of research for Otsuka.

Långt innan Sverige och svenskarna fanns hade människor här andra identiteter och hörde till andra sammanhang. Vikingatiden är namnet på en historisk tidsperiod i Skandinavien och oftast avses tiden cirka 800–1050. Vikingatidens värld var en helt annan än dagens. Riken, stater och folk som vi är vana att tänk på dem nuförtiden fanns inte ännu. … Fortsätt läsa "Avsnitt 6 – Vikingatiden"

The next-generation supercomputer “K” being developed by RIKEN and other institutes placed first in a ranking announced in June evaluating super computer performance.

RIKEN and Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) have completed Japan's first X-ray free electronic laser (XFEL) facility, named SACLA, which had been under construction at Harima Science Garden City since 2006. XFEL is said to be the “dream light,“ a completely new form of light for humankind. What kind of light is XFEL? What will it make possible? What distinguishes SACLA from competing XFEL facilities in the United States and Europe? These are the questions that are answered in this program.

White blood cell (WBC) count is a common clinical measure from complete blood count assays, and it varies widely among healthy individuals. Total WBC count and its constituent subtypes have been shown to be moderately heritable, with the heritability estimates varying across cell types. We studied 19,509 subjects from seven cohorts in a discovery analysis, and 11,823 subjects from ten cohorts for replication analyses, to determine genetic factors influencing variability within the normal hematological range for total WBC count and five WBC subtype measures. Cohort specific data was supplied by the CHARGE, HeamGen, and INGI consortia, as well as independent collaborative studies. We identified and replicated ten associations with total WBC count and five WBC subtypes at seven different genomic loci (total WBC count-6p21 in the HLA region, 17q21 near ORMDL3, and CSF3; neutrophil count-17q21; basophil count-3p21 near RPN1 and C3orf27; lymphocyte count-6p21, 19p13 at EPS15L1; monocyte count-2q31 at ITGA4, 3q21, 8q24 an intergenic region, 9q31 near EDG2), including three previously reported associations and seven novel associations. To investigate functional relationships among variants contributing to variability in the six WBC traits, we utilized gene expression-and pathways-based analyses. We implemented gene-clustering algorithms to evaluate functional connectivity among implicated loci and showed functional relationships across cell types. Gene expression data from whole blood was utilized to show that significant biological consequences can be extracted from our genome-wide analyses, with effect estimates for significant loci from the meta-analyses being highly corellated with the proximal gene expression. In addition, collaborative efforts between the groups contributing to this study and related studies conducted by the COGENT and RIKEN groups allowed for the examination of effect homogeneity for genome-wide significant associations across populations of diverse ancestral backgrounds.
