is that we depend on the Caribbean to correct it

by

The heat wave It is leaving us very striking figures: yesterday six weather stations recorded temperatures above the 45º Ceslius, with almost a hundred collecting maximums above 42º; Red notices due to extreme risk associated with heat have spread by north and south. The heat wave is about to finish and we do not know what will happen later. To know, meteorologists already look at what happens in the atmosphere, not only in our environment but also in places as far away as the Caribbean. First twenty. The State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) foresee that the first twenty of August this year is The warmest In historical records. Until now, the year in which the average temperature between August 1 to 20 had reached its maximum value was in 2003, when the average temperature in peninsular Spain first exceeded the 26th. The agency’s forecasts indicate that this year we will exceed this barrier. It should also be noted that in addition to the 2003 registration, the years with the first twenty of August were the years from 2022 to 2024. Aemet data indicates an upward trend in temperature for this period: since 2008, only three years have seen records below the average temperatures of the historical series. Touching the 46º. We pointed at the beginning that temperatures exceeded 45º in various parts of our geography. Among these recordsthat of the Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz) airport can be highlighted, which yesterday reached 45.8º; considerably above the 45.4º collected in El Granado (Huelva), or the 45.3º of Montor (Huelva). From tomorrow the situation is expected to improve. An imminent thermal downturn will bring us temperatures that will not only be colder than those we have seen in recent weeks, they will also be cooler than what is usually usual at this point in August. The least friendly face of this cool will be brought by storms: They are expected accumulated rainfall above 50 mm in large part of the north and east of the Peninsula. Precipitation also seem to dodge the areas most affected by fire during these days. A brief relief? The meteorological change will be welcome by many, but perhaps it does not last long. The models indicate A new rebound of the temperature during the next few days. Uncertainty is high and the evolution of the situation will depend on what happens in the atmosphere in the coming days, not only in our environment but also in the North Atlantic. This summer has been marked by a static atmospheric circulation that has allowed the stagnation of warm air masses on the peninsula. Looking at the Caribbean. That is why meteorologists Look now What happens in places as far away as the Caribbean, where tropical storm Erin continues its progress. This storm is not expected to have a direct impact on our environment, as has happened on some occasions, but its indirect effect could affect us, as explained by the Aemet researcher and German JJ disseminator. The storm that now advances north of the Antilles will turn, predictably to the north and towards the second half of the week could end up taking a northeast direction, standing in latitudes already close to ours. A storm of these dimensions could condition atmospheric circulation, even if it does not approach the European continent.

200 people paid to see a drone show in Valencia. The problem is that the event did not exist

by

Shopping Tickets Online for an event that you have seen promoted on social networks and, when you arrive at the place and time where it should be held, there is nothing. This is what dozens of people have lived in Valencia, but it is happening in several areas such as the Booking accommodation or Airbnb. What happened. According to the complaint of an individual who collects the EFE agencyabout 200 people were on August 15 to the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia to go to a drone show event. They had paid 17 euros for each ticket, a price with reasonable appearance. The problem? Although the complainant victim received confirmation notices of purchase of two tickets by SMS, when there was no festival or event of drones. Everything was the result of an online scam, the police told the attendees. And the worst part is that there has also been ticket sales for days 21, 22, 23, 29, 30 and 31. The medium. According to the complaint, the false event was promoted on Instagram, which boosted its reach despite the fact that the festival did not appear in any public calendar of place activities. For the scam, According to Drone Show Festivalwhich are event organizers (but free) with drones, used images and videos of their shows Attendees thought it was something real seeing that there are companies like FLOCK DRONE ART They are dedicated to this. The notice was not enough. Both Drone Show Festival and the official account of the City of Arts and Sciences sent messages in their Official channels warning that they were not organizing any drones festival in the complex. They did it on June 14 in the morning and in the afternoon, day and a half before the false event was celebrated. However, that did not prevent dozens of people from being gathered in full heat wave. Click the image to access the publication. More false events. The scam with drones is not thought only for Valencia. The promotional publication also announced events in Seville, Barcelona Madrid or Bilbao. From the Union of Consumer of Valencia, they affirm that They will denounce the facts before the National Court This week, as well as the General Directorate of Consumption of the Generalitat. They have called for affected people, and have offered to process the relevant claims for free. Online scams are triggered. According to the National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE), in 2024 More than 97,000 cyber attacks were recorded16% more than in 2023. The problem is that that year there were already Growing up 24% compared to 2022. According to the institution, in 2023, three out of ten incidents were online fraud.

The great alternative to Ozempic is LPG-1

by

Despite the great promise to quickly lose weight thanks to a minimum puncture, many people still reject the idea of injecting medicines such as Ozempic either Wegovy. In response, great pharmaceuticals refine their strategies with based on pill versions In the GLP-1 receiver. However, the first figures raise an awkward question: What will be willing to sacrifice patients in exchange for not pricking? In the test phase. The Eli Lillly company has presented the results of its clinical trial with Orforglipron, a daily pill designed to induce weight loss. According to data published by The Washington PostThe participants who took the highest dose reduced their body weight on average after 72 weeks, which is equivalent to about 12 kilos, compared to less than 1 % in the placebo group. It is a clinically significant result, but lower than that reached with its strut -in -lawy -led drugs – commercialized as Mounjaro or Zepbound -, with which in a previous trial a 22.5 % weight loss was achieved in the same period. The company said it will request the regulatory approval before the end of the year and trusts that the comfort of the pill compensates its lower power. Pfizer was the first. The race for the GLP-1 pills is not exclusive to Lilly and Novo. As we collected in Xatakathe American pharmacist Pfizer has announced advances in the development of Danuglipron, an agonist of the GLP-1 receiver who, unlike Ozempic, Wegovy or Zepbound, would be administered only orally. The drug is in a new phase of clinical trials to evaluate its safety and pharmacokinetics, with the aim of adjusting it as a daily taking treatment. According to the company, the tests have already included 1,400 healthy adults in an open and random essay. Preliminary data promoted Pfizer’s actions 2 % in the stock market, But analysts cited by Xatakalike Uumer Raffat for Fortune, warn that advances seem “tentative” and that, in the best case, the medicine would reach the market in 2028. There are more bets. The Ozempic and Wegovy manufacturer also does not want to stay out of the transition to the pills. As we have reported in XatakaNovo Nordisk awaits an FDA decision about its oral version of Semaglutida before it ends 2025. In parallel, its candidate Cagrisema – a combination of semaglutida and cagrilintida – achieved in clinical trials an average weight reduction of 22.7 %, slightly below the 25 % that the company had announced as an initial objective. A fact that, although raised, shows that even in the new generation of oral treatments, the power can remain below expectations. Comfort against efficacy. GLP-1 medications have shown unprecedented results in the fight against obesity, but the route of administration marks differences. As they have detailed in Washington Postweekly injection of tirzepatida or semaglutida allows to reach more stable levels of the blood molecule and, with it, greater weight reductions. On the other hand, the oral route requires formulas that resist digestion and are effectively absorbed, which raises technical limitations. In the case of Orforglipron, the consequence is a weight loss lower than that of its injectable equivalents. The big question is whether patients and doctors will be willing to prioritize comfort over effectiveness. For many, a 12 % reduction in body weight remains clinically relevant and can mean substantial improvements in cardiovascular and metabolic health. But in a market in which each percentage point counts, the comparison with 20-22 % of the injections could condition their adoption. A millionaire market with access barriers. The interest in these therapies is not accidental. According to estimates collected by this meansthe global market of obesity medications could exceed 100,000 million dollars annually in 2030. In addition to weight loss, LPG-1 improve glycemic control and reduce cardiovascular risk, which expands its clinical attraction. However, the price remains an obstacle. According to data cited in this mediumOzempic costs around $ 600 per month in the United States, compared to 59 euros in Germany. So the debate for future oral versions is open. A future with more options and more questions. With Lilly, Pfizer and Novo Nordisk preparing their releases, GLP-1 pills could expand the scope of obesity treatments, especially among those who reject injections. But the transition will not be automatic. In a market where efficacy has been the main sales argument, the arrival of more comfortable but potentially less powerful options will force to rethink strategies, prices and expectations. And although the interest is evident, the question remains the same: how much is it worth, for doctors and patients, the simple fact of not having to use a needle?

It is so hot in Granada that there has been one of the most extreme phenomena of the weather: thermal burst

by

This Sunday on the Tropical Costa de Granada An unusual phenomenon has been recordedbut it has caused great ravages. While people were trying to pass in the water the heat wave in which we are now, in a few minutes everything changed to have a hurricane and scorching wind on top. It reached such a speed that made the umbrellas and chairs shot as projectiles. And it was not a simple summer storm, but a phenomenon known as thermal burst. What happened on the Granada coast. The sequence of the facts was dizzying. Shortly before 19:45, 112 emergency services The first calls began to receive Notice. The alerters, from different points of the Tropical Costa, talked about hurricane winds that even threw palm trees of the promenade. The climax of the phenomenon, According to the Aemet, It was recorded at 19:50 with a temperature that shot sharply until 40.1 ° C. Jointly, wind gusts reached a speed of 86.8 km/h officially, although in different social networks users suggest that these speeds They reached 100 km/h. A phenomenon that concentrated in different municipalities such as Motril, Salobreña, Torrenueva, Carchuna and Almuñécar. Click on the image to access the publication. Chaos on the beach and bailouts in the sea. Shared testimonies on social networks paint a collective horror picture. A citizen He reported: “I was there on the beach and the situation has been horrible, I have not had worse in my life.” The disseminated images In social networks they showed people running to their cars, which caused traffic jams on the exit roads of the coast. Although the greatest danger materialized in the water. The rapid evolution of this meteorological phenomenon caused people to practice aquatic sports, and the wind caught several people who saw how they crawled inside and preventing returning to the shore by their own means. This triggered an operation where Seven people had to be rescued in front of the beaches of Torrenueva Costa and Carchuna. A rescue that was carried out by maritime rescue, but also by private vessels that prevented this situation from becoming a great tragedy. A rapid official response. Given the violence of such an unpredictable phenomenon, the beaches of the affected municipalities They had to be evacuated. At 20:20, the mayor of Motril, Luisa García Chamorro, launched an urgent notice Through its social networks which reflected the seriousness of the situation, asking not to go outside and have a lot of caution. A term comfort does not arise from nothing. They require an atmospheric configuration Very specifica “recipe” that this Sunday was perfect in Granada. The main ingredient was The extreme heat accumulated during the prolonged heat wave. This heat not only affected the surface, but created a deep layer of very hot air, and crucially very dry at the average levels of the atmosphere, several kilometers high from where the burst was given. Meanwhile, on the sea, the air in contact with the water was comparatively cooler and more humble. This stratification with a very hot and dry air in height on a cooler and more wet layer near the surface is the ideal culture broth. The scenario was completed with the formation of convective storms on the mountains of the interior of Granada, which acted as the trigger for the process. Of the rain that never falls to the scorching wind. The process of formation of a thermal burst is a fascinating paradox of thermodynamics, where a process that begins with an external cooling culminates in a burst of scorching heat. It can be broken down into four key steps According to the Aemet technical guides: The descendant current: everything begins within a storm cloud where a powerful current of descending air is generated that drags rainfall. Sudden evaporation: As this column of air and rain plummets, it meets the extremely dry and hot air layer that had been formed before. The dry air ‘absorbs’ voraciously all precipitation, causing it to evaporate completely before reaching the ground, something that is known as ‘virga’. Evaporation is a process that consumes energy, abruptly cooling the air of the descending column. This air, now much colder and dense than the one that surrounds it, collapses towards the ground at a dizzying speed. Compression warming: Once all the water has evaporated, the cooling process ceases. The air column, and if “refrigerant”, continues its free fall. When descending, atmospheric pressure quickly increases by compressing the mass of air. This compression is client at an extraordinary pace, known as dry adiabatic gradient. The impact or burst. Finally, this extremely hot, dense and dry air bubble violates the ground, like an invisible hammer. Unable to continue descending, it expands horizontally in all directions at high speed, generating destructive and sudden wind gusts and intense temperature rise that characterizes the phenomenon. It is not the same as a tornado. Sometimes this phenomenon can be confused with a tornado, but There are differences. While in the tornado the wind revolves around a vertical axis, in the bursting the winds are descending and linear. Climate change will make them more frequent. Thermal bursts are a natural phenomenon, but climate change is causing them to be more frequent. The report of the IPCC scientific experts It is unequivocal: heat waves are now more frequent, more durable and more intense due to global warming. The Granada event was no exception. It was the culmination of a historical heat wave in Andalusia. As explained before, the temperature is the fundamental ingredient that creates and dry the necessary atmospheric layer for the thermal burst to activate. An ordinary storm, in a less extreme environment, could have generated a cold front that refreshes the environment. However, when interacting with an “prepared” atmosphere by anomalous heat, the result was the violent explosion of scorching air. More energy and more extreme. The connection goes beyond heat waves. One of the most direct consequences of the increase in global temperatures is that the atmosphere can retain more … Read more

In Spain there is a “black triangle” of fires between Ourense, Zamora and León. And it is not explained only by heat

by

The drawing is bleak. If you open Google Mapsactivate the “fire” function And you take a look at the map of Spain you will see that much of the flames that are devouring the mountain of the country (and some populated areas) seem to concentrate on a particular ‘triangle of fire’ between the provinces of Ourense, León and Zamora. There are the fires of Mozyuelas de la Caballea, Yeres or that of Queixa Chandrexawhich have already razed thousands and thousands of hectares. It is not the only region of Spain punished by the flames, but the big question is … Why do forest fires seem to be primed right in that region? The Spain that burns. It is not being a good August for the mountains of the country. According to The last report of the Ministry of Environment (Miteco), still incomplete because its technicians do not have the data of the large active fires, so far this year the flames have devastated 138,800 ha. And that is the calculation to August 10, so it does not include the devastated surface during the last week. To better understand what this data is, remembering that between January and the first week of September 2024 the forest fires burned 43,655 ha or that throughout 2023 they had calcined 89,000. If we look back, at the last decade, there was only one more disastrous exercise than the current one: 2022, when at this point of the year they had burned Around 215,000 hectares. Is the whole country the same? No. The flames have punished to a greater or lesser extent Andalusia, Estremadura, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia and the regions of Valencia and Madridto quote only some examples, but there is a specific area of the Peninsula that is suffering from the dentelladas of the fire with special virulence: the triangle formed by the provinces of Ourense, León and Zamora. Tan a Fast look To Google Maps to check it. There is Chandrexa de Queixa, which has affected more than 17,000 ha And it is already considered The most destructive of the history of Galicia. Also that of Mozyuelas de la Carballedathat passed from Zamora to León and has calcined several dozens of hectares. Looking for the causes. The big question is … why do that region hit so much fury? What are the causes? The question is interesting because it is not an isolated phenomenon: there are populations, like Castromil’sbetween Ourense and Zamora, who have resigned themselves to deal with fire every year. For the impact of the flames on the ‘triangle’ between Zamora, León and Ourense He wondered Recently in X Francisco M. Azcárate, professor of ecology, biology and environmental sciences. And its entry response is interesting: the succession of forest fires in that region of the Peninsula cannot be attributed to pyologists or negligence. Or that is not the only cause at least. In the background there are more complex structural reasons that have to do with the characteristics of that area or changes in the use of the territory. Meteorology earrings. “Climatically, the area fits perfectly with ecosystems that, naturally, have a high frequency of important fires,” Azcárate starts Before aiming the influence of the rainy season, during which biomass accumulates, and dry, marked by the mass of dry and very flammable vegetation. To this factor is added the frequency of fires in humid Mediterranean climates or the effect of climate change, which influences extreme temperatures and “extends the risk season.” The fire wave has in fact coincided with Another heat which began in early August and that already stands out as one of The most durable Since at least the 70s, which is when the historical Aemet starts. Although it is not an inflexible guideline, experts have not been warning that the fight against forest fires is especially complex when the known as the known as ‘Rule 30-30-30’: Temperatures above 30ºC, wind gusts of more than 30 km/Hy a humidity of less than 30%. Click on the image to go to Tweet. The perfect cocktail. Not only do climatic conditions or heat wave influence, which has spread far beyond the Ourean-Leon-Zamora triangle. Another of the keys that explains the impact of fires in that concrete area of the Peninsula must be sought, Azcárate points out, on the ground and orography. “The region has acidic and little fertile soils. This favors more flammable plant communities, due to the composition of plants’ tissues,” The expert reflects. At stake also enters the orography of that region, marked by an “abrupt relief” that hinders the access of “erratic and strong” seals that can abruptly change the direction of the flames. A few years ago Civio analyzed The main fires recorded in Spain throughout the 2007-2016 decade and discovered that in almost 80% of cases (153 of 196) the gusts exceeded 30 km/h, which could influence the evolution of fire. Something more than weather and orography. Not everything is climate, meteorology, orography or soil characteristics. In the fires it is influencing another factor than You are talking a lot During the last days: the depopulation of the rural one (which is usually accompanied by the abandonment of fields and a change in forest management), something that starts from the provinces of Ourense, Zamora and León They know well. “In general in Spain there has been rural, population and peoples abandonment and depopulation is a food for fires,” Celso Coco warnsfire expert and forest management in The opinion-the mail of Zamora. And what does that suppose? “The consequence is that in those areas where it was worked, it was grown, it was granted, natural vegetation has been installed and there is no use of them, which has increased the forest area greatly. This continuity of vegetation, without management, results in a vulnerable landscape,” duck. In their opinion, forest fires “have existed, exist and exist” and constitute “a natural process”, but changes in the landscape have affected their impact: where they were previously found with land … Read more

The megaindios of Ourense, Zamora and León have paralyzed the Galician bird. It is the nth setback in a horrible year for Renfe

by

The Madrid-Galicia bird had become an oasis for Renfe. The Spanish company, objective of all kinds of criticism during 2025 had seen how the Galician corridor was even bending the arm to the airlines. The fires are, now, the last unexpected twist that leaves a trail of cancellations, delays and travelers desperate to find an alternative route to the train. Fires. They are, without any doubt, the news that marks the rate of today in Spain. When we write these linesthere are more than 40 active fires in our country. Of these, two out of three foci They are located in Castilla y León. In addition, only in Ourense (Galicia) have burned more than 60,000 hectares. Lack of resources, forests that are lacking maintenance and one heat wave that seems to have no end They have been the perfect fuel to find ourselves in a situation that has been out of control. Click on the image to go to the original tweet Cut. With the provinces of Zamora, León and Ourense surrounded by the fire, the bird has stopped completely. This morning, Renfe confirmed in his X account that the circulation was interrupted “until the competent authorities allow resumption.” It is the fifth day that Renfe keeps the high -speed line between Madrid and Galicia suspended since Last Thursday, August 14, it would be suspended For the first time the rail service. The previous day, Wednesday, August 13the company already had to suspend some of the paths during the afternoon. Click on the image to go to the original publication From Madrid to Zamora. At the moment, the only solution that Renfe has given is to open a train that makes the journey between Madrid and Zamora. With an eye on the evolution of the fires, for the moment the only alternative they keep open is the one mentioned in the image superior. In the responses to the publication, Renfe confirms that There is no alternative plan For travelers who had tickets bought for any of the Galician cities. Bus alternatives have not been established, For example, and they don’t guarantee When can you return to normal. The nth problem. The interruption of traffic in the Galician corridor is the nth bad news for the company that is living a 2025 to forget. If we make a list of everything that has happened in the previous seven months that we have throughout the year we find the following: A flying line. The situation is even more complicated, taking into account that the Galician corridor was being the line that was best working at Renfe. As high speed has been settling, the data says There is a traveler transfer from the plane to the trainwhich is offered as a more flexible and interesting alternative if you want to spend less than 24-36 hours in Madrid. Besides, The particularities of the line and orders saturation to manufacturers have caused Renfe to have a dominant position on competitors. Although the line is liberalized and any company can operate, the truth is that companies such as Ouigo lack adequate rolling material and They do not expect to have it in the short term. What can the traveler do? At the moment, little if I planned to use the high speed line between Madrid and Galicia. As we have seen, Renfe is only partially offering, between Madrid and Zamora. Once there, there is no other than taking a car or a bus to continue the trip. Options for traveling tomorrow, August 19, between Santiago de Compostela and Madrid Shot prices. The other option, of course, is to fly from Madrid to one of the Galician airports. Of course, from one day to another, flying from Madrid to Vigo, to Coruña or Santiago de Compostela forces to invest more than 100 euros per ticket (there are only three options for less than that money and Vigo does not have them) and in some cases the prices per trip exceed 300 euros. But the trip is very complicated in the reverse sense. From one day to another, the cheapest option to travel between Vigo and Madrid forces to disburse 369 euros, from A Coruña you can travel from 272 euros and from Santiago de Compostela you have to disburse 379 euros.

There is an F-35 stranded in Japan and nobody manages to start it

by

In the middle of July a news began To “get ball” in the United States and the United Kingdom. A brand new F-35b by Lockheed Martin and belonging to the British Navy was stranded more than a month In India. Since then until now, the almighty American company has happened to the problems: Negative of Spain For the purchase of a lot of fighters, the doubts from other countries And finally, a Second F-35 stranded. The problem is that there continues, without leaving Japan. An emergency detour. A F-35B of the United Kingdom, deployed aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales within the framework of the Highmast operation, Continue stranded In Japan after having forced an emergency landing at Kagoshima airport on August 10 due to a technical failure in flight. The device was transferred to a shooting street and no injuries were reported, although six commercial flights They suffered delays. Engineers of the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force have already inspected it and confirmed that it is waiting for spare parts to be repaired, reviving doubts about the fragility of the global supply chain of the supplies of the supplies of the supply of F-35 programdespite the fact that both the body of American Marines and Japan operate the same model in the region. A problem history. As we said at the beginning, the episode occurs shortly after another detour, This time in Indiawhere a second F-35b British was stranded for more than a month, and adds to the long list of incidents associated with the furtive plane. Although the British Ministry of Defense insists that both failures They are not related and that these types of situations are part of the routine of naval operations (where it is often safer to take land in nearby airfields than to try a risky apontaje on the aircraft carrier), the truth is that the coincidence has intensified the Public and political scrutiny About the program. The memory of 2021 accidentwhen an F-35B of the HMS Queen Elizabeth crashed in the Mediterranean for the obstruction of an air intake, it is still weighing on the reputation of the hunt. The operation and strategic role. The Highmast operation It represents one of the most important deployments of British naval aviation in the Indo-Pacific, with 18 F-35b embarked, from RAF squadrones and Royal Navy, to which at least one device of the US Marines body is added. The campaign already included maneuvers in Australian waters during the TALISMAN EXERCISE SABREand later joint exercises in Japan and South Korea under the name of Hightower. One of the milestones was the first operation of British fighters from a Japanese ship, the Kagaadapted to receive Stovl aircraft such as the F-35B, a symbolic gesture of the growing naval cooperation in the region against China. A “of all” hunt. For Lockheed Martin, the story puts them again in the Diana in a month of August complicated where the news has happened with the hunt as the protagonist. The funny thing is that we talk about a combat plane that, being “made in USA”, is actually built under A multinational program. Yes, the F-35 Lightning II is actually the most international combat program in history, with more than 1,900 suppliers spread over a dozen countries. Conceived since its origin as a multirrol plane for the three branches of the country’s armed forces and for strategic allies, established association levels: The United Kingdom as the only partner of Level 1, Italy and Netherlands at level 2, and Australia, Canada, Denmark and Norway at level 3, to which Japan and Israel are added through special agreements. Most devices are assembled in Fort Worth (Texas), but there are assembly and verification centers in Cameri (Italy) and Nagoya (Japan), with production lines adapted to regional demand. The European contribution. The United Kingdom is the Major foreign taxpayerresponsible for about 15% of each plane and 10% of development costs. Companies such as Rolls-Royce (manufacturer of the F-35B lifting system) and Martin-Baker (ejectable seat supplier) complement the decisive participation of Bae Systemswhich produces rear fuselages, queues, electronic warfare systems, antennas and much of the mission software. Italy, through from Leonardonot only manufactures optical components, radios and motor parts, but also hosts the only European final assembly line. The Netherlands, With GKN FokkerThey produce flaperones, braking systems, electrical wiring and manage spare parts for more than 500 European fighters. The rest. Australia manufactures Vertical lines, actuating systems and more than 700 components in the state of Victoria, with more than 70 local companies involved. Norway provides air-air pylons and vertical edges, while Finland supplies front fuselage sections. Japan assembles its own F-35a in Nagoya and produces some pieces domestically, although it is not clear how many are exported. Israel, unique case, not only manufactures components valued at more than 2,000 million dollars (such as external wings, fuel deposits and electronic warfare systems), but also The F-35i Adir operatesthe only authorized version to be deeply modified, with plains, weapons and its own communications. Contractors in the USA. In the United States, Lockheed Martin coordinates and assembles airplanes, but the bulk of the content comes of associated giants. Northrop Grumman produces central fuselage, AN/APG-81 radar and communications systems, with a participation between 20 and 25% per device. RTX, through Pratt & Whitney, supplies the F135 engines, while Raytheon provides armament and advanced sensors. Other actors such as Honeywell, L3harris or Curtiss-Wright have key papers in specific systems. The great absent is Boeing, whose X-32 lost the contest in front of Lockheed X-35; Today its role is limited to minor work as a subcontractor, while concentrating its efforts in the F/A-18 Super Hornet, the F-15Ex and its F/A-XX future. Between symbolism and fragility. Back to the case in Japan, that two fifth generation fighters have been out of service during the same cruise does not constitute an operational disaster, but it does feed the Vulnerability perception in a program already controversial for their cost overruns, … Read more

Australia has analyzed teleworking since before pandemic. His conclusions disassemble the reasons for the return to the office

by

Although teleworking is no longer the preferred option by companies, or at least not their full -time variant, remote work continues to maintain much higher values that those who registered before pandemic. That shows that, in a way, teleworking does arrive to stay in Very specific contexts. Australia has been observing the real impact of teleworking for four years and consolidated data contradict old prejudices. “Working from home makes us happier,” The authors assure of a study by the University of Southern Australia, ciming a new more flexible and productive labor model. Time flexibility: the new office fruit. The Australian study is especially revealing because it began before the pandemic and the rise of teleworking and has been extended for four years, which leaves a much more defined photo of how remote work has impacted on the way of working and its consequences. According to the study, the possibility of choosing from where to work has allowed to improve both the mental and physical health of workers, although there is still a certain friction from corporate culture. According to A report of the International Labor Organization (OTI), the flexibility provided by teleworking is already equal to The emotional salary with which companies try to capture and retain the best employees, replacing other benefits. Most satisfied employees with their work. The data collected by the study reveal that before the pandemic, the Australian worker used about 4.5 hours per week only in displacements to the office. That time optimization It makes those who work from home enjoy “ten extra days of free time a year against those who go to the office”, dedicating 33% of that time to leisure, which implies “more opportunities to be physically active and less sedentary.” A factor that also highlighted the Academic Study which was carried out in Spain from the Lacaixa Foundation. According to the authors, these data “usually go hand in hand with worse mental health and with lower scores in the assessment of our own health.” Thanks to teleworking, employees have gained “hours of rest to sleep and, for example, breakfast more peacefully”, which helps reduce levels of template stress. In turn, this recovered time also has a reflection in healthier habits, such as home preparation or the increase in the consumption of fruits, vegetables and dairy. The result has been a more varied and healthy diet, with less dependence on ultraprocessed foods that require less preparation time. Positive whenever it is by choice. If something has shown us the experience of “forced” teleworking during the confinements of 2020 is that the teleworking It is not for everyone. Since this study allows to contrast the situation of employees before and after the massive arrival of teleworking, it also reveals how it affects that change of work model in workers The researchers found that the well -being and mental health They improved especially when teleworking was voluntarily chosen, while “when employees work from home for obligation, mental health and well -being tend to get worse.” Productivity in evidence. One of the main arguments of companies for the return to the office has been the alleged fall in productivity that was associated with teleworking. In this sense, researchers blame the problem more to an inability to assign tasks and New model management not in a direct casuistry of teleworking. “In many cases, managers who claim that teleworking reduces productivity responds more to a lack of management than a real performance problem,” says researchers in their conclusions. The conclusion after four years of monitoring is unequivocal: work performance and productivity seem to stay stable or, in most cases, improve when working from home. These results coincide With other research that They disconnect the decrease in productivity of the company with the teleworking. The distance does affect the cohesion of the equipment. Great corporations like Amazon wielded The argument of the cohesion of the equipment To impose The return to the office. In that sense, the study prepared by Australian researchers recognizes that “the connection with the classmates is difficult to reproduce at a distance,” admit those responsible for the study, and alert about the risk of loss of cohesion in the work teams. But, as has been demonstrated with some strategies back to the office, the problem can be mitigated by facilitating efficient communication channels. A Recent study Posted in the magazine Naturerevealed that this Team cohesion problem It currently persists with the hybrid day model, provided that consistent communication patterns are not established.
