The most fascinating adventure program is a Spanish Tiktoker who is traveling to Japan with a 1998 Fiat

by

Fabio Bell is a influencer That, under the nick Volatadipuca It has been specialized in publishing videos about cars and trips on their social networks. He has made routes through countries such as New Zealand or India, as well as by Route 66 North American, and on his channel combines from cars reviews to interviews with vehicle owners of very diverse characteristics. His last idea, however, is the one that is attracting more attention: to travel from Spain to Japan in a Fiat Marea of ​​98. Planazo. Camperize the car To make life in him, advance everything that can be (on day 1, from Barcelona to Monaco, for example), three months planned at the wheel to travel 14,500 kilometers. At the moment it has been (almost for Serbia) and every day a video summary is uploading that in some cases almost four million visualizations. The inaugural video of the trip, the most viral, reached almost 10 million visualizations. In it, he told his more than 411,000 followers how he withdrew the seats on the right side to install a bed, installed a baca and supplied 20 liters of diesel and a spare wheel. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok I tell you my trip. For some years, travel Tiktokers have become one of the most famous content on social networks. From adventure to more urban environments, there are more specialized ones (@Racherrosargentinos They only make natural scenarios from South America) and more spectacular (@Jacktravelworld Use drones and film plans, which has won more than 400,000 followers), going through those who have a more practical and earthly approach (@Alanxelmundo It focuses on recommendations and advice for those who want to make their own trips). @volatadipuca I think we all wanted a second season with the tide. This time, a little more beast than the previous one. In total there will be 22 countries, 12 currencies and 25,000km, for 3 months. Good luck to all #Nippon #Coches #trips ♬ Original Sound – Fabio Belnome The travel tiktoks phenomenon. Tiktok has become one of the key media to show trips: the hashtag #tikToktravel, for example, has More than 23,000 million viewsbecause the creators who make content for this niche take, often, extreme views: trips linked to adventure, others very strict in the sustainable and ecological aspect (often out of reach of the average user) or, quite the opposite, luxury destinations and unique experiences. Travel Tiktoks offer the type of experiences that the common of mortals will not do, and in that section is, of course, go to Japan in a car. Out risks. Travel Tiktoks consumer can enjoy trips without assuming the risks of the most adventurous creators, such as Alpinisya @Nimsdaithe urban explorer @Shieyfreedom or the traveler to high -risk countries @drew_binsky. Recall that many of these Tiktokers, like @RemnigmaWang Yongning or Sofia Cheung died while recording extreme challenges and trips. However, we can share their emotions to the limit without any risk, which explains Gherem’s success as Belnome. That, but by car. What does Belnome do what distinguishes it from other travel Tiktokers? Without a doubt, the idea of ​​remodeling an old car and using it as a literal engine of its journey. In each video he remembers that it cost him 900 euros in Wallapop, and dedicated several deliveries to comment on how he was repairing and preparing for the trip, in addition to going through the corresponding reviews and ITVs. In addition, it gives a unique suspense touch to the trip: in the first video the engine is heated excessively, and in the second it is already removing the temperature sensor so that the fan works continuously. Each new installment is a “Will it stay lying today?” That they do not have the rest of the Tiktokers of their guild, which brings you closer to adventure Tiktokers than those of travel. The attractiveness of the car that nobody wants. However, we are not talking about a classic car or a car Vintageone of those models that, repaired, fascinate for their design or their benefits. We talked about a Fiat Marea, a car that the Italian brand began to manufacture in 1995 and that, in effect, is not especially attractive or sophisticated. Belnome’s message seems to be rather “I travel to Japan uploaded in the first thing that Pillo”, and given how the engine is heated, the vehicle seems a challenge rather than a real aid. Something that, without a doubt, Belnome also uses so that the risk plays in his favor and in that of his channel.

The intestine has a “golden rich zone.” And if we often default out of it you have to pay attention

by

Making peanut is a intestine health thermometer. So much that in Australia they encourage employees do your things at work. It is a moment that We can take even to read or to do Infinite scroll on mobile (Even for Share the site in which we are making poop), but also one that we should pay more attention. The reason is that the time and frequency are details that say a lot about our long -term health. Cause or consequence? Throughout the years different investigations have been carried out on the importance of defecation as such, but also about the ideal time to do sothe frequency of the same and the shape, size and texture that They should have The Depositions. Studies have been carried out that linked the constipation with a higher risk of infections and diarrhea Chronicle with neurodegenerative diseases. However, these observations were made in subjects who already had some disease, so it had to be found out if the intestinal problem was a cause or the consequence. As science is not done alone, a team from Institute for Systems Biology He took the front to answer that question. The study. In it studyresearchers are Gibbons and Johannes Johnson-Martinez analyzed the clinical, genetic, microbiological and lifestyle variables of 1,400 healthy adults. Something that the subjects had to detail was the frequency of the depositions, which would be classified as follows: One or twice a week – constipation. Three to six times a week – Low frequency. One to three times a day – normal frequency. More than three times a day – Diarrhea. “Gold rich zone”. The researchers realized that the people who reported eating a diet rich in fiber, exercised regularly and had good hydration, had a good intestinal movement. In a display of scientific humor, they baptized this as “the golden rich zone”, which becomes a frequency of intestinal movement between one and two daily stories. That is the point where, according to researchers, the balance between microbiome and physiological markers is optimal. Therefore, the optimal frequency is between one and twice daily, but it is not always the case and, when there is an imbalance is when the problems begin inside. Ideal form of feces: Type 3 and 4 More serious than it seems. Johnson-Martinez comments that “if the feces remain too long in the intestine, microbes exhaust all available dietary fiber, something that normally ferment to produce short-chain fatty acids beneficial for health. If this occurs, the ecosystem changes and begins to ferment proteins, which generates several toxins that can reach the bloodstream.” These by-products of the fermentation of protein filtered to the bloodstream, such as the sulfate p-rresol and the Indexil Sulfate, pass to the kidneys, causing damage in case of constipation. If, on the contrary, diarrhea occurs, feces practically do not go through the intestine, causing clinical parameters related to liver damage. That is: with constipation, the kidneys suffer. With diarrhea, the liver. Chivato. Gibbons comments that chronic constipation, which we have just seen what effects they produce, has been associated with neurodegenerative disorders and the chronic progression of kidney diseases. What is missing is to define whether that anomaly in the intestinal movement is an early warning of a chronic disease or damage to the organs. Now, the study also explores how this frequency of the intestinal movement is also related to the Anxiety and depressionrelating mental health to deposits. The researchers comment that it has been possible to link the frequency of the depositions with all body systems and how is something that can be a risk factor in the Chronic disease development. His hope is that medicine be taken seriously to “optimize health and well -being, even healthy populations, based on the frequency of intestinal movement.” And some drawer is that, if we have no problem, we should not hold the desire or force it, because we reduce and artificially increase the time that the feces are in the intestine Study feces. There is an important detail that must be taken into account: to have a different frequency from that of one/twice daily can be normal. The problem is when it becomes chronic. That is when we should ask ourselves what is happening. There may be a health problem, but also that we have a low diet in fiber from fruit and vegetables. It is logical, but food and Our lifestyle It is something inseparable from our feces. In addition, throwing an eye from time to time is not a bad idea because it is a free intestinal health test. Also You can scan your poop with an app that analyzes it thanks to the AI. The time, matters. Being in the “golden rich zone” is relevant, but previous studies also explored the idea that the moment we make peanut is also. Studies prepared in 2020 and 2022 They related circadian rhythms to gastrointestinal activity. At night, intestinal activity decreases significantly, but during the day, especially after waking us or eating, there is greater mobility. An optimal moment is half an hour after awakening, since the colon is activated after nighttime rest, but defecating later of that moment does not imply that something goes wrong because there is some flexibility in the matter.

The first European attempt to launch a commercial rocket at orbit has ended up explosion to northern Norway

by

First attempt. The inaugural launch of the Spectrum rocket, a test mission without payload called “Going Full Spectrum”took off at 12:30 CET on March 30 from the Andøya Space Puerto, in Norway. Originally scheduled for March 24, the flight was delayed several times due to bad weather conditions. After lighting their nine engines, the Spectrum He cleared the launch platform and rose without problems for 18 seconds. Then he began to lose control or overwhelming his orientation to the point of turning. In the second 30, all the engines went out and the rocket began to fall. The realization changed camera, but an explosion was heard shortly after. “A success!” The impact of the rocket near the platform and the fireball of the explosion They were captured by the Norwegian press. Despite the ruling, Isar Aerospace declared the launch A success. The CEO of the company, Daniel MetzlerHe added that the flight “has fulfilled all our expectations” with “an impeccable takeoff, 30 seconds of flight and we could even validate our flight termination system.” Although the rocket did not define, he turned off his engines not to deviate before falling. The launch platform is apparently intact. Flight launchers 2 and 3 are already in production. ISAR has compiled numerous data in this first test. Spectrum. What Isar Aerospace’s rocket has not been able to validate is the first orbital launching title of a European private company, since it has not reached orbit. Now the achievement is still open to other rockets such as RFA One of the German Rocket Factory Augsburg or Miura 5 of the Spanish Pld Space. Spectrum is a two -stage rocket and 28 meters high designed to transport up to 1000 kg to the low terrestrial orbit. The first stage has nine Aquila engines and the second one has one, optimized for space vacuum. All of their own design, with carbon fiber tanks without coating and 3D printed engines, fed with oxygen and liquid propane. Isar Aerospace. It was founded in 2018 in Germany with a Spacex -inspired approach: integrated production vertically and very automated, with the idea of ​​producing many prototypes, testing them and improving their design through multiple iterations. It is very well financed with a total investment of 400 million euros, which has taken the opportunity to build a new headquarters 40,000 square meters near Munich. According to Isar, it will have the capacity to produce 40 Spectrum rockets per year. Norway. Isar Aerospace has an exclusive platform in the Andøya Space Puerto in Norway, chosen for its ideal location to reach polar orbits and heliosíncronas and because the rocket takes off on the open ocean. It also has the meteorological problem that has been seen the days before the launch. Images | Isar Aerospace In Xataka | Europe’s access depends on the United States.

A gospel choir to start the presentation of Windows XP? A gospel choir to start the Windows XP presentation. It was clear that this operating system wanted to propose something different, and in that event in New York, Microsoft was with everything. There was only one problem. That Windows XP, which was a payment product, You could use free. The fault was a very special activation key. It was leaked by the Warez group (illegal software copies) Devil’s Own, but it also did 35 days before said operating system was launched. To advertise this filtration they also used a singular method: they published a photo in which a hand held a CD-R supposedly with a copy of Windows XP and the activation key written in the CD: FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8 They also published The famous NFO file that it used to accompany Warez and explained what each product consisted of, the company that had created it and the type of copy created. In the case of this filtration, Devil’s OWN made a foul comment with the type of protection, in addition to offering an iso compressed in 32 15 MB files (455.1 MB in total) and the aforementioned activation key. This activation key was a volume license key (VLK) that was especially striking because allowed Windows XP not to have to be activated By phone or internet, a process that was necessary to start using the operating system. The key, popularly known for its first five letters (FCKGW) is now obsolete and was blocked by Microsoft in August 2004 with the Windows XP Service Pack 2. The computers that used it thereafter showed A WGA notification (Windows Genuine Advantage) and could not update their teams, although even then Methods appeared To skip that protection and also countermeasures by Microsoft. I also knew that memory key However, for years both the operating and key system spread through the network of networks through P2P platforms as Emule, and allowed millions of users to install and use Windows XP on their PCs without paying the operating system license. The Windows XP activation key was so popular and so used that it generated a surprising side effect: its massive memorization. Even many years after having stopped using it, people who saw it again remembered it perfectly. They commented, for example, Reddit users who celebrated the anniversary of the appearance of that activation key. A user He wondered how the hell continued to remember that key, and the same happened In another debate In hacker news or for forums Anandtech. The famous activation key, which has Your own section In Wikipedia, it’s already part of popular nostalgia From PC users of the time, it has His own memes and some until they mention it In Tiktok. And since so many memorized her, there were even advice to Use it as a password. Be that as it may, the impact for sales of the operating system was probably notable, but no figures are known. Although it is true that Microsoft sold the operating system separately, in many cases the Windows XP licenses were part of new desktop and laptop equipment, which could mitigate the effects of filtration. In addition, at that time the Microsoft business model focused on corporate sales and OEM licenses-which as we said were part of the “PC-Operational System Pack”-and that also helped the consequences to be more harmful. What is not clear is whether this filtration further shot popularity and use of Windows XP. What is true is that the operating system became One of the most beloved by users. He was the most used in the entire market until August 2012, when Windows 7 surpassed him. Today its use is residual and is below 1%, but there were singular cases such as Armeniacountry in which According to Statcounter data The current Windows XP fee is almost 75%.

patent changes in the brain of mothers

by

A few will surprise to know that pregnancy and childbirth imply fundamental changes in many aspects, even at the neurological level. However, we are still investigating the nature of these changes to resolve issues such as exactly these changes and what are due. Brain and childbirth. Now, a study led by researchers at the Gregorio Marañón hospital in Madrid and the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII) has studied the effect of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum on the brain of women. The team He found changes associated with these last two stages, but did not find significant alterations during the gestation period. Hippocampus and tonsil. The analysis allowed us to observe changes in the hippocampus and the tonsil of the participants. Changes that were associated with negative experiences of childbirth and the appearance of depressive symptoms in the postpartum. More specifically, the team detected an increase in the volume of the hippocampus among the mothers who had a “negative perception” of their childbirth; while the appearance of depressive symptoms in the postpartum was associated with a greater increase in the volume of the amygdala. “Childbirth and postpartum are moments of great emotional intensity that the mother remembers throughout her life. She changes her life and can change her body, a body also located in a context and influenced by him,” explained in a press release Cristina Ballesteros, co -author of the study. 88 first -time mothers. In the study, more than a hundred women participated, 88 of them, mothers who were examined at the end of the third trimester of pregnancy and during the first month after giving birth. The second group, of control, included 30 women without children who were examined during the same interval. Changes in the brain of the participants were examined through magnetic resonance images. The details of the study were Published in an article In the magazine Science Advances. Looking for the cause. The study, Explain the teamallowed to find correlations between certain experiences in childbirth and postpartum and changes in the brain, but to elucidate possible cause and effect relationships in these relationships is a more complex task. This implies the need to continue advancing in the investigation of this matter. The authors of the study indicate that the changes could be seen as an adaptation of the brain before “challenging” events such as childbirth or the early stages of motherhood, “as well as indicators of possible vulnerabilities.” Chained projects. A year ago, part of the team responsible for the present study published An article In the magazine Nature Neuroscience in which he also addressed the question of the changes that occur in the brain of mothers during pregnancy. That study did detect some changes in the brain that occurred before childbirth. Specifically in a brain red, explained at the time“Involved in the perception of the self and social cognition, the famous default network.” This is a region of the brain that remains active when we are not doing any particular activity, hence its particular name.

Before being from Spain, Madrid was the unlikely capital of another kingdom located thousands of kilometers: Armenia

by

TO Leon v History played a bad pass. And that, by Carambolas of Historyended up turning Madrid into the capital of a kingdom located more than 3,000 kilometers away, south of what is today Türkiye. Sounds crazy, but if something is the story of León V (1342-1393), the king without the kingdom, stripped of his crown just a few months after ascending to the throne of The little ArmenianIt is precisely that: strange. After all, in just a few years he went from monarch to reo, from reo to “Mayor” of Madrid and finally lord of a French castle. To know its history we must go back to the Middle Ages and travel to the Anatolia Peninsula. There, in the region of CILICIA The XI and XIV centuries extended Little Armenianor Armenia Cilicia, a kingdom formed by refugees who had fled from the Selyuk invasion of Armenia. It was not particularly large, but a prominent role as an ally of the Crusaders and Christian bastion was played. León V (the brief and insistent) Or so it was at least until the time of his last sovereign, Leon V of Armeniawho barely had time to accommodate on the throne. The unfortunate was crowned in SIS in September 1374but just a few months later, in 1375he saw how the Egyptian Mamlucos took the capital. For him it was the end of his days (few) of glory. From the amenities of the court he became a prisoner in Cairo. There León spent a year, two, three, four … and so up to seven long springs deprived of liberty, during which lost his wife and daughterwaiting for some sovereign of Christianity to get close to their bad luck and pay their rescue. Little served. It did not matter to appeal to the charity of other kings or the church. The fate of León V only changed thanks to the mediation of the Franciscan Juan Dardel, who knew how to press the right rope with the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula. It is said that the situation of León v moved enough to Juan I of Castilla as if to decide to intermediate in favor of the former sovereign of the little Armenian. The truth is that in 1382after seven years of captivity, León V regained his freedom and abandoned Cairo. What could a King do without the kingdom? What would time dedicate a monarch to whom he had given time to savor the throne of the throne? León had no doubt. He wanted to recover his crown. And for this purpose he undertook an international campaign in search of support. That long journey ended up taking him to the Iberian Peninsula. More specifically to Badajoz, where he met the hospitality of Juan I. upon his arrival León V met with Honors and gifts Gold, silks and jewelry, but not what I was looking for: help to recover the throne of SIS. Instead, the Castilian monarch offered him a curious (and generous) entertainment: he granted to the sovereign of Cilicia the manors of Madrid, Andújar and Villareal (Ciudad Real) “with all his breasts and rights and income.” As if that were not enough, he added an annual income of 150,000 maravedíes. So and against every forecast León became a tenant of the Real Alcázar de Madridconferring on the villa a new (and unlikely) range: The informal capital of the small Armenian. After all, the heart of a kingdom was where its cut settled. There was even more than a century and a half so that, in 1561Felipe II set his in Madrid, turning her into the capital of her domains. One thing was, however, the good harmony that Juan I and León could have and another very different than the Madrid were funny to be under the government of a foreign man who did not know and that nothing knew about his land. We know it because the anger of the town soon inspired some scathing and sharp coplillas On the Armenian sovereign, like the one he cried: “If the town was Silva, the lion would keep it, more is Castilian land, we do not want such a lord.” “They say that a Lord comes from Armenia, guide us God of such real favor,” he proclaimed Another of the topics that were singing on the banks of Manzanares. It was little for León to try to win the favor of the people down or send Real Alcázar. Juan I soon made it clear that the assignment of the villas was a timely gesture limited to the ancient Armenian sovereign, so that the title would not pass to his heirs. After the arrival on the throne of Juan I’s son, Enrique IIIthat link between Castilla and the Armenian It would blur even more. The reality is that León’s main interest seemed to be far from Manzanares, Castilla or the Iberian Peninsula. Although a few years had passed since his departure from SIS and despite his years of captivity in Cairo, there was an idea that was still obsessing León V: recover his kingdom. That was his great goal. From Madrid I had it difficult, so Leon soon packaging his things and going first to Navarra and later to France, where he received a not very different response to that of Juan I of Castilla. Carlos VI dedicated Good wordsostentatious gifts that included the assignment of the castle of Saint-Ouen … but nothing that allowed him to head an offensive that returned it to the court of SIS. The sovereign ended up dying some time later, in 1393, with about 51 years, without having reached his dream. In Paris he died. And in Paris he was buried. Before, yes, he wrote one of the most curious chapters in the history of Madrid, a city that over the centuries left him a peculiar and fortuitous? Tribute: His memory is linked mainly to the old Alcazar, where León lived several months Between 1383 and 1384. Armenia are far … Read more

One of the most decisive campaigns of Christianity in Europe had a lost piece. It has been solved by a picture of the 16th century

by

For centuries, the camp of Carlos v In the German city of Lauingen it was little more than a scene embodied in a team of the 16th century. Painted by Matthias Gerungshowed in detail the surrender of the city during the War in the Danube campaign. We knew that something important had happened there, but we had not found archaeological evidence that confirmed it and the painting could have been a free artistic interpretation. Until five tombs and a boot buckle caused the painting to become an radiography of the past. Danube campaign. In 1531, Protestant princes joined in the Esmalcalda League To fight the Catholicism that made its way in Europe Thanks to figures such as Carlos V. As usually happens, a religious war began, in this case to defend Protestantism against Catholicism in a war that consisted of bell battles when one of the two forces was considered superior, but also in strategic movements games when they felt at a disadvantage. The League had a huge army, but Carlos V managed to gather experienced soldiers and, above all, a lot of artillery. After a series of attacks and constant harassment, added to the fact that there were league troops that were not too close, it resulted in Carlos V to take control of southern Germany in 1546. He did not mark the end of the war, which would arrive a year later, but it was an important turning point. The picture. The Emperor’s main camp during the campaign was located in Lauingen, a town that surrendered in 1546 and inspired by the artist Matthias Gerung to paint in 1551 his ‘Heerlager Karls V. Bei Lauingen’, or ‘The Camp of Carlos V in Lauingen’. It is a historical piece, there is no doubt about that, but if you have not seen it so far it is understandable because paintings of this style there are many. Or not so many? Gerung embodied many details in the work that allow us to get an idea of ​​how the tents were used, as well as the weapons, armor and clothing. It was so rich that there were tiny details, as ornaments in the clothes or broches very well defined. Was it an artistic license or, was it hyperrealistic? Well, rather … the second. Coincides! The painting represents the moment in which the Lauingen Council surrenders to the emperor and is the heritage of that city. To be such an important place, no human or material remains had been found in the area, something strange that could suggest that Gerung … well, a license had been taken. However, in 2024 the situation took a turn when a group of archaeologists from Bayerisches Landesamt Für Denkmalpflege found five tombs of imperial soldiers in a place extremely similar to that represented in the painting. That changed everything. Apart from the remains, it is not that a lot of objects appear, simply some coins and the closure of a hook -shaped boot. “What has to do with the painting?” You will be wondering, because much: that closure coincides perfectly with some that can be seen in Gerung’s painting. The detail of the picture is surprising, everything must be said Coins. In a new one releasethe researchers of the BLFP They claim that the five deceased found were young men who had structural changes in the legs of the legs due, surely, to a large overload fruit of the long marches of the army. But objects are the true protagonists because, normally, in the tombs of this era there are neither coins or footwear remains. And, beyond that the closure of the boot coincides with the one that was represented in the painting, the really key is the dating of the currencies, which by their inscriptions aim to be from the 16th century. And all this represent the first clear dating sample of this era in the area. Eureka! “The antiquity of the coins suggests that burial Deputy Director of the Archaeological Conservation Department of Susabia de BLFP. The next steps of the archaeologists is to continue analyzing the remains found, but the most curious thing about this story is the painter’s excellent documentation to perform his work, since either he was in the place and stayed with all the details or was magnificently advised by someone who was in the camp. And it is, according to the coincidence found by archaeologists, an almost photographic representation of the camp that was touchstone in European history.

In full nervousness for the cutting of submarine cables, China has a final weapon: a radio in steroids

by

The Submarine cables They are one of the most important elements today. Not only is it a huge infrastructure that organizations and companies continue to develop -with such ambitious projects as the Meta cablewhich will take more than one return to the earth-but have become today thanks to the Ukraine War already maneuvers at the South China Sea. It is in this conflict that Some cut cables They have triggered the fear of running out of the Internet, and everything that implies. These cables are protected, but can be damaged by ships. Now, China has presented a device designed with a task in mind: cut underwater cables. And it is the first time that someone announces that he has a tool capable of interrupting critical underwater networks. The importance of cables. There are more than 1.4 billion meters of submarine cables that connect all countries. There are other thousands of kilometers planned, and the vast majority of communications in some countries depend on these cables. 95% of them in the case of Australiafor example, and I know esteem that 95% of the data managed by the American population and 75% by China depend on them. They are vital for the Internet and all that this implies, such as streaming, artificial intelligence or servers, and this year they have become protagonists in war scenarios. Countries in conflict have realized that they can cause great damage by cutting these cables by boats or through more sophisticated techniques, such as Sound attacks. There are times that They are simple accidentsbut the suspicion that a damaged underwater cable corresponds to an enemy attack is something that is there. And more now with what they just announced from China. The Chinese device. As we read in South China Morning Postthe State Key Laboratory of Deep Water Crewing Vehicles and the Scientific Research Center of Ships of China, have developed a tool that describe as “compact” and that is capable of cutting the most sophisticated underwater communication lines or energy in the world. As it is a tool designed specifically for this, it has been conceived to cut cables at depths of up to 4,000 meters. There are no cables right now that they are in such depth, but its creators have provided the device with a completely sealed titanium alloy housing to resist that enormous pressure. This is Haidu, and can carry this “radial” Your weapons. The device is equipped with a kilowatt engine and as a cutting tool uses a 150 millimeter diamond wheel that rotates at 1,600 revolutions per minute. Let’s say it is the mixture between a protected drone to endure very high pressures and a radial. This cutting tool allows to destroy up to armored cables that have steel layers, rubber and polymeric coating. And its form has been designed so that it can be integrated both in manned and non -manned submersibles of China. For example, haidou vehicles or Fondouzhe could have this as one of their tools. He Haiduas a curiosity, it is an unmanned submersible in the form of fish and eyes drawings and fins created for exploration. He Fendouzhe It is a manned submarine, also for research and exploration. World Order. As we say, threaten to cut underwater cables It is not something new. We have seen it in the Ukraine War, but it is the first time that a country officially reveals a tool designed exclusively for that task. Of course, those responsible affirm that the tool has been created for civil purposes. Which is it? Rescue and mining operations in the maritime bed, but it is evident that it is a tool that is surely causing the other neck itching in rulers around the world. It is clear that such a tool can destabilize communications in a crisis and be used strategically during an attack. And it is not only communication, but everything that has to do with the Internet, such as servers and services that depend on them. Debate and consequences. When a cable is cut, communications are rapidly redirected through another, since they are prepared to have a large bandwidth. Therefore, important interruptions are not usually produced, but that cable You have to repair itbeing a fairly expensive process. Now, when it is not a single cut cable, but several, that connection may be set. It is what has led to a debate about the need to protect infrastructure. NATO has launched The mission “Baltic Sentry” To patrol sensitive regions with airplanes, drones and warships. There are also companies that are offering advanced cable monitoring services, answering all measures to a single issue: the protection of infrastructure and early detection to prevent cuts. That there are countries that have already made public that have sophisticated tools for cutting submarine cables and interfering with world geopolitics, is a new headache.

Some researchers have analyzed what the summaries of scientific papers say. There is enough “clickbait”

by

Academic articles, Papers reviewed by pairs published in scientific journals, they are One of the pillars of science nowadays. These articles usually have a more or less defined structure, with introduction, results, conclusions and discussion, in addition to a section dedicated to the methodology used. An element that never (or practically ever) is missing in this type of articles is abstract. Abstract It is the term with which a kind of summary of the content of the article is known. It is a key piece that has the objective of serving as a bibliographic guide to those who are looking for a study, so this short text must answer properly to the question What is this article going? But beyond this basic function, the abstract Often fulfills the function of Summary of the articleincluding information on methods, results and conclusions of the experiment or study. Many of the scientific articles are limited access, protected by a Paywallthe price of a single article can be several tens of eurosbut summaries are available in open. Scientific articles, including this short introductory text, are subjected to several editorial and scientific reviews, so it would be expected that the abstracts be faithful representations of what the article and the study carried out. The problem is that sometimes, They are not so much. In the late 90s, a group of researchers analyzed the existence of discrepancies between the summaries of the articles and their content. The team analyzed more than 260 articles (44 pieces by six scientific relief journals) published in 1996 and 1997. They studied two ways in which these summaries could be incorrect, or by inconsistencies with the body of the article, or by the omission of relevant information. The results showed variation in the results according to the magazine (they found that between 18% and 68% of the articles presented problems). They concluded, in their own abstractthat the inconsistent or absent data in these summaries were “common, even in the medical magazines of great circulation.” The study was published in 1999 the magazine Jamaone of the publications analyzed in it. 25 years have passed since the publication of the magazine’s study Jama and almost 30 since the publication of some of the articles analyzed. Science has changed a lot in those 25 years. However some subsequent studies They indicate that this problem persists. In 2016, a group of researchers made a compilation and analysis of the studies carried out in this field. This literature review, published in the magazine BMC Medical Research Methodologyhe found that the median “level of inconsistency found these studies was In 39%although the variability was high: it ranged between 4% and 78%. Since not all errors are equally severe, this review was fixed on the studies that discriminated against the serious inconsistencies of the milder. They observed that the median in this case was somewhat lower, but still considerable, of 19%. Subsequent studies, like one posted this year In The magazine American Journal of SurgeryThey continue to show the existence of this trend in scientific literature. What happens then? Are scientists falsifying your data? Or are we simply witnessing an important accumulation of errors? We know that the summaries of the articles are determinants when receiving quotes of other academic articles and that This metric is key for the evaluation of scientific work for the authors. But the publication of an article may sometimes depend on its results being novel. That is why there is an incentive to emphasize some results and clarify them later. A non -significant result can cause the editors of the magazine or future readers to lose interest in the article, regardless of the real quality of the study. The call publication bias (which refers to the fact that studies with different results are overrepresented in scientific literature) is also the result of this interest in the novelty. Clickbait academic The titles of the articles have also been subject to scrutiny in recent years. Consciously or unconsciously, a striking holder can be decisive when we are more or less interested in a study. In 2016, A study Posted in the magazine Frontiers in Psychology It echoed this phenomenon. The analysis observed how the way in which the headlines affected were affected within reach of the study. Gwilym Lockwood, author of the study, analyzed More than 2,000 academic articles And he observed that the titles that enunciated something in a positive frame had better metrics than the average. On the other hand, he also found that the works that resorted to speech games showed a worse performance. The titles containing questions, meanwhile, did not deviate from the average significantly. The problem of abstractsIt is one of many to which the scientific publishers. Some publishers pressed By scandals of various typesfrom the “Mills of scientific articles”Even the problems with rates charged by publication or access to their contents. The artificial intelligence It is one of these problems, but perhaps also a potential solution. In recent months, and after the occasional scandal, scientific publishers They have been integrating The artificial intelligence tools in the scientific publication, beyond the work that these tools may have developed in the development of research itself. Artificial intelligence has the capacity, among other things, to generate more “objectives” summaries or to detect and correct possible errors and discrepancies between texts and summaries.
