The Goya They are a fracticide fight to take the awards to the best films in Spanish of the year (and a few in languages ​​of the European territory). And as you know, there are always discussions about whether or not the winners deserved the awards. We come, as always, with very personal opinions, but that can help you dissipate doubts if this weekend, to accompany Saturday night’s gala, you want to see some goyizable or goyized cinema. These are our three favorite films among all the nominees (we leave out the best European film), and where to see them. House in flames There is nothing more to see the vast majority of nominations that this black and bitter comedy accumulates to guess where its strengths are: in its cast and its script. Everything to form the portrait of a very specific fauna, a certain decadent Catalan bourgeoisie, headed by two first actors, Alberto San Juan and Emma Vilarasau. Both are a mature and divorced couple who (more or less) have rebuilt their lives and remain in a house that the family has on the Costa Brava with their children to make a series of important decisions. From the first measures of the film, where the mother has to make a sperpetic decision so that the meeting is held. The theme of the film is clear: a ruthless but hilarious portrait of the most daily human miseries. Nominated a Best film, best leading actor (Alberto San Juan), best leading actress (Emma Vilarasau), best cast actor (Enric auquer), best cast actress (two: Macarena García and María Rodríguez Soto ‘), best original script, better Production Directorate Where to see it: In Netflix The infiltrated ‘La Infiltrada’ has already made history becoming the highest grossing Spanish film in the story directed for a woman, but her real value is in the stark portrait of a wild era that makes through the figure of Elena Tejada, Rioja agent of The National Police that with 22 years changes identity to infiltrate ETA and dismantle the Donosti command in the late nineties. A real story that, as the director Arantxa Echevarría says, dismantles the myth that women can only tell small and intimate stories. Because ‘the infiltrated’ is, above all, a thriller of good and bad, not a political drama attentive to the nuances, and in that sense it works overwhelmingly: its recreation of the Donosti of the nineties, the extraordinary interpretation of Carolina Yuste, The increasingly suffocating and more urgent rhythm in anguish pies. A first thriller. Nominated a Best film, best direction, best original script, best original music, best leading actress (Carolina Yuste), best cast actress (Nausicaa Bonnín), best cast actor (Luis Tosar), best production direction, best photography direction, Better assembly, better makeup and hairdressing, better sound, better special effects Where to see it: In cinemas The crying Only its director Pedro Martín-Calero took a nomination, but it is worth claiming this film, right now that he has just landed in Prime Video. It is a piece of supernatural terror that comes with an indicutable quality seal: the script is co-written by Martín-Calero and Isabel Peña, a regular collaborator of Rodrigo Sorogoyen and co-managing of gender films as shuddering as ‘As Bestas’. Here a splendid Ester Expósito gives life to a girl who feels threatened by a presence that is not perceived with the naked eye. We will know a story that occurred twenty years ago, ten thousand kilometers, and how this entity crosses the time and space to sift over several women. Using as a starting point the ominous style of Japanese ghost cinema, Martín-Calero and Peña draw an invisible line that tells the fear of three women in a story of pure terror, but who has easily extrapolable meanings to much more tangible threats. Where to see it: In Prime Video Nominated a Best novel address In Xataka | There is something that the Goya take the lead to the Oscars: they are not experiencing their same audience crisis

China has great plans with its “new silk route.” An unexpected corner of the world threatens to truncar them: Myanmar

by

China has too many open fronts. On the one hand, the Technological War With the West who is serving to boost your technology industry. On the other hand, the Commercial War which is making natural resources monopolize. Also his impulse to renewable energiesbecoming the main power and growing so much that their companies have beenNzarzado in a price war. To add more pepper to the matter, its great project of the new silk route encounters an unexpected enemy: a neighboring country at war since 1948. New Silk Route. For hundreds of years, the Silk route connected the Southeast Asia with the Mediterranean. It was a series of commercial routes open by China that not only allowed a trade between many countries, but a way of expanding their influence abroad. With the decline of China due to Opium wars Already new commercial routes, in the nineteenth century, the silk route passed to the background. In the 21st century, with the new Chinese economic splendor and the desire to recover that international influence, the country impulse The initiative of the new Silk route. In 2013, President Xi Jinping advertisement His intention to revitalize the old commercial ties between Asia, Europe and in North Africa, this being one of China’s most ambitious strategies. Milmillonaria investment. The advantages seem obvious. Currently, the vast majority of world trade depends on a few maritime routes. The Portenero ships They are a ‘cheap’ solution to transport tons of goods, but they depend on a few points of passage that, if they see interrupted its activity For any reason, They cause world chaos. With a land transport, not only another route is achieved to move merchandise, but you can shorten times. With a land transport from Southeast Asia to Germany, the merchandise would take about two weeks to arrive. With the same route by sea, time is dilated until just over a month. China, being the great producer of the world, has sought to increase its position with this rail transport, something for which you have had to invest Much money in infrastructure deployment and in route width adaptations with certain paths, such as the old Soviet lines with a different path width. HE esteem that this investment has been almost a billion of euros not only in a railroad, but in ports, airports, stations and other infrastructure. Criticism. Countries around the world They benefit of these investments promoted by China. Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Malaysia or Vietnam have received important investments in land and maritime infrastructure. Russia has also improved its rail connections, improving trade between two countries (that they are needing so much). Italy and Greece have also received investments in ports. Egypt, more of the same with the strategy of the Chinese economic and commercial cooperation zone. And Panama also signed a agreement for the expansion of the train line (which just had fall After Trump’s arrival) It is one tremendous strategy both for sea and land that involves many countries and, as expected, it does not do it Too much grace. The reason is that they consider that it is a strategy from China to gain influence on developing countries, something that can play against US interests in countries, especially the Middle East, in which they have military facilities. Myanmar. The problem is that they have encountered a civil war. Myanmar, previously Burma, has been in crisis for two centuries. In the nineteenth century there were the Anglo-Birian wars, which continued in 1948 with the civil war of Myanmar. They achieved the independence of the United Kingdom, but their society was fragmented and a tremendous civil war that persists to this day began. Everything was intensified with the 2021 coup d’etat to overthrow the democratic government, which has led to a new war situation with millions of internal displacements in recent years. And, in that lack of lack of control, with internal struggles to control territories and commercial roads, China has encountered an important stumbling block in the development of its new silk route. Rare earth. China and Myanmar share more than 2,100 kilometers of border, being the Chinese province of Yunnan is the most affected. And the problem is that the presence of military groups and ethnic tensions is preventing China Agreements of the new silk route. The area, in addition, is rich in Rare earthsomething that China dominates and wants to continue controllingso the country is showing warm with the situation of its neighbors. China’s role. As we read in BBCChina did not want to get wet in this whole matter, which is now splashing. When the army gave the coup d’etat, Xi Jinping did not condemn him and continued to sell them weapons. However, he also did not recognize the military as the new heads of state. In fact, experts already consider that China is pressing so that things are again as before, not because they want to return to democracy or peace, but because they want to continue developing their commercial strategy. From the Myanmar regime it is suspected that Beijing is playing two bands supporting both the army and the rebels, who use Chinese weapons. But, the only thing China can do right now is to wait and press on both sides to achieve a peace agreement that allows them to continue with their businesses. Meanwhile, and as always, the people are the one who is suffering the consequences, with more than three million displaced and thousands of dead since 2021.

50 years of research on depression psychotherapy leave a surprising fact: we have not improved anything

by

Since the 70s, hundreds of studies have examined the effects of psychotherapies against the depression. They have done it with many different experimental approaches and designs. They have done it insistently and, as if that were not enough, in an increasing number. That has allowed us to know two things: the first is that psychotherapies They are effective. The second is that this effectiveness has not moved an apex in 50 years. How can we know? To begin with, thanks to Pim Cuijpers, Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychology at Amsterdam University. He and a team of researchers They gathered 562 randomized controlled trials that had been published in the last 50 years. These essays are the highest methodological quality that are currently (although, as the authors point out, average Caldiad is not as high as it should). In total, the researchers gathered information of 66,361 patients. Most American adults, but with a significant number of people from other countries. From there, they only had to weigh the interventions, the results and see what happened. What did they find? To begin with, they found that psychotherapies work. In fact, his conclusions were that, as the years go by (and studies), the “evidence that psychotherapies are effective is solid and grows over the years.” The surprise was not that, of course. The surprise was that, for many studies that have been added over the years, “they found no sign that the effects of therapies (psychological against depression) have improved.” None. The effectiveness of these treatments has remained surprisingly stable throughout all these years. And how does all this leave psychotherapy? In a strange situation. In a context in which the consumption of benzodiazepines does not stop growing (and, remember, Spain is World Ansiolithic Consumption Leader With more than 91 daily doses per 1,000 inhabitants), psychotherapies appear as an effective solution; But we are not improving. That is, we have a tool, but we cannot climb it. If the problem continues to grow (and is doing it), we will need more and more resources. Resources that, from the financial crisis and despite the concern of recent years, do not seem to be arriving. The question is no longer “What are we failing“,” Why we can’t improve more “,” where is what limits us to go further “, which also: the question is how we do it better. And it is urgent to find an answer. Image | Cuijpers et Atls | Nik Shuliahin In Xataka | Work stress as germ of depression: work pressure enhances mental disorders

If the Electric Ford Capri seems strange to you, it is because you do not remember that one day it took a motorcycle engine. Yes, a V4 engine

2.- Molancholic sadness originated by the memory of a loss Nostalgia has come to stay in the car market. It makes a lot of sense, if we think coldly. We are facing a historical moment in the automobile industry. The regulatory changes and a new technology that seems to be average price increased of a car to Remove some capabilities He has made many feel expelled from this “new mobility.” Nostalgia applied to the automobile market is nothing more than the redundancy of A constant of our societyencouraged to constantly remind us that all the past was better. And it does not have to be exactly like that but manufacturers have decided to enter the game. If the most common buyer of a new car exceeds 45 years and what lived between 15 and 25 years We consider it as the best time of our life … You just have to subtract. That is why Renault has risen to Renault 5which ceased to be manufactured 40 years ago and was an essential part of the childhood of those buyers who are already well entered in the forties. The same buyers who have the purchasing power to get those cars. He will follow him Renault 4 and the Twingo. It is about attracting the electric car market to an audience that needs stimuli and incentives that appeal to their feelings. Ford opted for a slightly more risky strategy: use mythical names. He did it with the Ford Mustang, who was left an electric brother. And he has done it with the Ford Capri. A car that was an icon of the 70s and a large part of the 80s. Subtracts, again, and checks who is directed An electric car called Ford Capri. Renault has opted for popular models but Ford has chosen the way to resurrect names that have a space of honor in the collective imaginary of car lovers. And, with this, they have gotten the most staunch defenders to be thrown on them but have also managed to get to those who would cost more money with higher investments in marketing. An example of that selective memory and understanding that the past was better for the simple fact that we remember it is the case of Ford Capri. Yes, it has risen as an electric car but in its day it also came to set up an unexpected, weird and that of course we do not associate with the Muscle Cars American. A motorcycle engine in a mythical car That generalized image we have of “American car” of the Ford Capri is not such and partly distorted by memory. The car was born as a European version of Ford Mustang. That forced to make a smaller car, with also smaller engines and, above all, except gastons. That led Ford to opt for a curious solution with the launch at the end of the 60s: mount a V4 engine. Ford’s intention was to make Capri A car that young Europeans could buythat was not expensive and that offered a cheap and sports alternative to the classic German Coupés. The proper functioning of Mustang In the United States they convinced them that they could get a similar result in Europe. With that premise, it was about recycling all possible components to prevent development from being price. With that premise, Ford brought out a V4 engine. A very little used concept in the car market because it forces to develop a propeller with Two ass, two exhaust collectors and two valve trains. That is much more complicated than a four -cylinder engine online. In return, you get a propeller with a very characteristic sound and very contained dimensions. Width it can be a problem if the car is very narrow but it is a much more compact option than its older brothers. In addition, the power delivery was softer than with a four -cylinder online, although it does not reach the refinement of a V6 or a V8. That compact size is perfect for a high performance motorcycle. Its power can go above 100 hp easily and entered in this field, the configuration is ideal for high performance motorcycles. In a car, where the weight is much greater, this advantage is very eclipsed. Ford’s V4 engine we already knew it in Europe. The company put it at the service of Ford Taunus and was Saab’s supplier. Also Lancia with the fulvia He had tried unsuccessfully to make the V4 engine an alternative to the four online cylinders. Despite their best behavior, the high development and production costs finished killing a propeller that we would see again in the Porsche 919 Hybrid of Le Mans. But that is another story.

He has not created a superhero, but radiation has given healing powers to the most unexpected material: to concrete

by

It is difficult to imagine a world without concrete. This material has been fundamental in the history of mankind And it is still a pillar in modern construction. Although we are exploring more sustainable alternatives such as woodthere are constructions in which the concrete remains the clear protagonist. An example is nuclear power plants, which need to be resistant and well isolated. And a new study has investigated The effect of nuclear radiation on concrete. The most surprising thing is that radiation bombardment has an effect … curative. The study. The researchers at the University of Tokyo were not looking for a U -cement Self -backreparable concretebut the impact of nuclear radiation on concrete. Being the main structural material and armor in nuclear centrals and reactors, there is a concern about how radiation influences the aging of that armor. Specifically, the objective was to verify what is the impact on quartz, a common material in the rock that is used in the mixture of concrete, regardless of the part of the world in which that mixture is manufactured, and measure the impact on quartz It can help us understand how radiation affects the structure of the building. The good news is that, in theory, these concrete structures are more stable in the long term of what was believed, since radiation induces relaxation processes in quartz that allow some recovery of their internal structure. Irradia the quartz. To carry out the study, the effects of the irradiation of neutrons in different types of quartz were investigated. The synthetic, metacuarcita, sandstone and granodiorite quartz were irradiated at a temperature between 45 and 62 degrees Celsius, with a damage by displaced atom that ranged between 0.01 and 0.23 units. IPPEI Maruyama is one of those responsible for the investigation and Comment That the flow of neutron radiation “distorts the crystalline structure, causing amorphization and expansion.” This would be something negative because it implies that the material is not stable, but the surprising thing is that, due to the role of silicon and oxygen within the quartz grains, a healing process is triggered that mitigates the expansion of the volume of the material induced by Radiation. Self -repair. “At the same time there is a phenomenon in which distorted crystals recover and the expansion decreases,” says Maruyama. This is something that depends on the size of mineral crystals within concrete. For example, the largest grains showed a lower expansion, so the degradation of the concrete, which is one of the current concerns when building and maintaining nuclear centrals, could be less severe than what was thought. Likewise, the researcher confirms that “a lower radiation rate allows more time for self -reparation”, allowing nuclear energy plants to “operate safely for longer periods of time” of which it was expected initially. Next steps. There are still questions to be resolved, since the same team comments that they have a task ahead. The University of Tokyo’s team has been studying the impact of radiation on concrete since 2008, but confirms that it is an expensive field of study, so carrying out extensive research is not easy. Now, with this finding, Maruyama is confident that they will continue to explore the impact of nuclear radiation beyond quartz to, for example, see if that expansion phenomenon occurs in other minerals that make up the concrete. The objective is not only to predict how cracks are formed due to the expansion of minerals that are being bombarded by radiation, but how to select the best materials to create a much more resistant concrete for future nuclear energy plants. Beyond the centrals. We will have to see the next steps of the researchers to strengthen those first opinions of the study, but it is evident that getting a self -realistic concrete is an obsession. Due to CO2 emissions during its productionto what Its maintenance is very expensive Since it is ending world -sand reserves, having a material that repairs itself is something that different teams throughout the planet have been investigating for years. And progress has been made, such as mixtures with sugar either coffee that allow some self -repair of concrete. We will see, yes, what takes to use that new concrete on a day -to -day basis.

It is not for bad taste, they are just business

by

Ferrari has been highlighting as a synonym for luxury and exclusivity. The manufacturer of “Il Cavillino Rampante” imposes on its clients a strict decalogue of rules of behavior and use of your carsunder the threat of introduce your name into a blacklist that will make them Customers ‘Non Gratos’. Being on that list prevents, no matter how much money you have, you can buy a car your brand, something very common In the luxury industry. As reported The British The TelegraphFerrari would be studying more energetic measures against those clients who want to modify the appearance of their supercar with extravagant customizations. The reason they argue from Maranello, their intention is to protect the legacy of the brand from those modifications that remain the value of the brand. “We have been thinking internally in defining in advance the combinations (colors). We have to pay attention because we have to defend the values ​​and identity of the brand. We will not make a strange car, sure,” explained Benedetto Vigna, CEO from Ferrari a The Telegraph. The balance between customization and legacy The Italian brand has a very strict policy in terms of its brand image. For example, in 2014, the brand sent an order of cessation and withdrawal to the DJ Deadmau5, which had decorated its Ferrari 458 Italia with a vinyl of Nyan Cat to create the Purrari 458. If the brand did not reverse that customization I would prevent you from buying another Ferrari. The designer Philipp Plein also He received a Ferrari call After publishing in his social media profiles the photo of some sports shoes designed by him on the roof of his Ferrari 812 Superfast Green. In addition to forcing him to remove the photos, the brand sued him. Ferrari is at a crossroads in which he is forced to choose between protecting the legacy that, as a luxury supercoches brand, must convey to his future, and The lucrative business in which the customization of luxury cars has become. It is true that Ferrari has always remained in a Conflict between tradition and modernitybut the figures that move the exclusive customization of its cars are infarction. According to the official dataFerrari obtained a benefit of 1,525 million euros in 2024. Some 1.3 billion euros of these benefits were billed from units that had gone through the Ferrari Atelierdivision that the brand has created to respond to the exclusive requests of its customers. Therefore, imposing more strict measures on “after -sales” customization outside the brand control would not only seek the goal of preserving the prestige of the brand, but also seeks to monopolize the execution and billing of these customizations, something that marks like Lamborghini are also doing. Round trip cars On the other hand, Ferrari’s interest in maintaining his brand identity is also oriented towards the second -hand market, where Ferrari is the priority buyer by contract. When someone buys a Ferrari at a concessionaire, he must sign an opportunity agreement. That contract forces the client to notify the brand when want to sell your car and Ferrari will have priority to buy it. If you try sell it to a third party without warning The brand will face a judicial process and important economic sanctions. Taking into account that priority, Marca wants to make sure that their cars are sold quickly and do not lose value in the process. Therefore, one of the measures you have prepared is to reduce the number of colors available to make them more timeless. Ferrari’s CEO said that almost all cars that came out of Maranello’s factory looked their iconic Rossso Corsa. Today, just 40% of the new Ferrari take it. “There are places in the world in which they like to have a fixed menu. There are other places where they prefer the letter and the freedom to choose what they want. But there are some combinations that are not pleasure from the second potential buyer,” he said Benedetto Vigna. The director of Used Vehicles of Ferrari, Andrea Scioletti, assured to Drive that more than 90% of the Ferrari who have left the Maranello factory They are still in circulationso any customization that does not align with the vision of the Italian manufacturer will leave a lasting scar.

Some researchers have analyzed the impact of sugary drinks on world health. They have taken their hands to the head

by

The sugary soft drinks conquered the world a few years ago. Thanks to its flavor and Marketing strategiesthe soft drinks became the very image of globalization. Little by little we began to be more aware of the health hazards that the excessive consumption of these drinks carried, so much that, even in some European countries it was created THE REFRESCO TAX. With the, The consumption of free sugars was reduced In certain cases. But a new one study It reveals that its intake is still very high in many countries. So much that there is an alarming link between the usual consumption of these drinks and millions of new cases of Type 2 diabetes every year. Sugary pandemic. The trigger has been a study by the University of Tufts, in the United States. Reviewing the drinking data of the global dietary database, a database with more than 450 surveys with information on the consumption of sugary drinks and a sample of 2.9 million people belonging to 184 countries, they ran into an elongent figures . Approximately, and according to this study, sugary drinks would be related to 1.2 million new cases of cardiovascular diseases and 2.2 million new cases of type 2 diabetes. Every year and worldwide, something surprising if we take into account The normalized and integrated that these drinks are in all societies. The reasons. It is not a novelty that sugary drinks are related to type 2 diabetes, obesity and other disorders, but the reason is that they are foods that are digested quickly, causing very pronounced blood glucose spikes without providing essential nutrients. They are empty calories like those that a beer can have, but with a much larger amount of sugars. This absorption process, repeatedly, contributes to the weight gain already most important: insulin resistance that carries metabolic problems related to the aforementioned diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. Many cases, but … What does it mean? According to the study, 80,000 deaths per year for type 2 and 258,000 diabetes due to cardiovascular diseases related to soft drinks. Latin America and Africa. In countries that have fought in recent years to promote healthier diets and lifestyles, as well as the taxes we mentioned a few lines, that sugar consumption has decreased, but it is not something that happens throughout the world. In fact, in the study, researchers have focused on two territories: Latin America and Africa. According to these data, in Mexico the usual consumption of these drinks with almost a third of the new cases of diabetes is associated. In Colombia, the percentage rises to almost half. And in South Africa, about 28% of new cases of diabetes and 15% of new cases of cardiovascular episodes are related to these drinks. The explanation they have found is simple: in countries and communities with lower average income, little access to information and more limited preventive medical care, cases are triggered. Not all.
