How euthanasia allowed an “à la carte” face transplant to be planned in 3D in Barcelona

by

Spain has once again shown why remains at the top in terms of organ transplants refers to the new milestone that has occurred at the Vall d’Hebron Hospital in Barcelona. It is neither more nor less than first face transplant in history coming from a donor who had requested the euthanasiadying in a controlled manner in a hospital environment. The programming. Until now, face transplants, of which a few have been performed 54 worldwidedepended on the urgency and availability of a donor who died due to an accident or brain death. However, this case introduces a new variable: transplant scheduling. This is thanks to the fact that the donor had requested to benefit from the Euthanasia Law and jointly expressed their willingness to donate all their organs and tissues, specifically their face. This is something that allowed the medical team timewhich is not common in transplants, to find the most suitable candidate and also plan in detail what the procedure was going to be like. What they did. By knowing in advance the availability of the donor, the medical team was able to begin virtual 3D planning. In this case, digital models of both the donor and the recipient were created to be able to design completely personalized cutting and grafting guides to guarantee the success of the intervention. And it is not at all easy to do this type of transplant, since the bone structure and soft tissues must fit together with millimeter precision, reducing the usual uncertainty of these operations. The surgical challenge. The operation was not easy, since It lasted 24 hours and required the coordination of a team of nearly 100 professionals.including plastic surgeons, microsurgeons, anesthetists, nursing and immunology experts. And it was not a simple aesthetic operation by putting the skin on top and that’s it, but rather a complete reconstruction was sought at all times that included muscles, nose, lips, blood vessels and of course nerves. All of this could not be done without microsurgical equipment that allowed arteries, veins or nerves less than a millimeter in diameter to be ‘connected’ in order to have sensitivity, movement or the ability to eat. The recipient. Her name is Carme, and her life changed radically in 2024 while she was on vacation in the Canary Islands when she suffered a bite that caused a serious infection. The bacteria caused sepsis and death of the facial necrosis, causing him to lose part of his face and severely affecting his jaw. In this case the consequences were devastating, since Carme could barely open her mouth and had serious difficulties breathing and feeding. Not to mention his social life, which had been drastically reduced, with the mental impact that this entailed. According to his own statements, the transplant was “the only solution” to try to regain a normal life. Legal context. All this is not a coincidence, since the Vall d’Hebron was already a pioneer in 2010 in performing the first complete facial transplant in the world. Of the six transplants that have been performed in the history of Spain, half have taken place in this center, demonstrating the great experience they have in this regard. The procedure is also framed within the Euthanasia Law that came into force in Spain in 2021, which contemplates the possibility of donating organs. The generosity of the donor, who explicitly offered her face during the authorization process for her assisted death, has opened a new door for regenerative and transplant medicine, demonstrating that advance planning can be key to success in the most extreme surgeries.

traffic jams, collapsed buses and 400,000 people without a planned alternative

by

Closed with a message at midnight and no backup plan. This is what the 400,000 people who take one of the Rodalies trains in Catalonia every day have found. The railway system has come to a complete halt after the an accident in Gelida (Barcelona) in which a trainee driver died and a second train derailed, this one without consequences, between the stations of Blanes and Maçanet (Girona). What has happened? Last night, Rodalies Catalunya reported that a train on Rodalies line R4 in Barcelona had suffered an accident. In it, everything indicates, a retaining wall fell on the train as it passed. On impact A 28-year-old trainee train driver has died and 37 injuries have been recorded, of which five are in serious condition. Furthermore, between the stations of Blanes and Maçanet (Girona), a few hours earlier another train had derailed. This time as a result of a landslide that left some rocks on the road. In this case there have been no victims on a train in which only 10 people were traveling. Click on the image to go to the original tweet Rodalies closes. A few minutes before midnight, Adif confirmed that all Rodalies lines in Catalonia were suspended until the status of all the lines was checked, but assured that, when it was verified that there were no obstacles on the tracks, the service would be restored. This morning, the trains have not left the depots. Rodalies confirmed that the train service will remain suspended until Adif checks the status of all the tracks. Rodalies points to the damage caused by Storm Harry, which has left heavy rains in Catalonia and has even been warned of flooding. The stoppage also comes after SEMAF (Spanish Union of Railway Machinists) will release a statement announcing that they are going to call a general strike in the sector and that they would stop the service if security was guaranteed throughout the Catalan network. Click on the image to go to the original tweet 400,000 people. Every day, around 400,000 people move around Catalonia using the Rodalies service. Today, Wednesday, January 21, they learned that there are no trains to get to work or drop the children off at school. But, above all, there is no alternative plan to replace the trains, so passengers have to find their own means to get around. Rodalies has 134 stations and its 462.7 kilometers of tracks cover the most extensive Cercanías service in Spain. In total, it is made up of 13 Cercanías lines and 6 regional train lines. The Barcelona Cercanías service, with six lines and two branches (R2 Nord and R2 Sud), is the most extensive. a challenge. The suspension of the service without alternative measures anticipated a chaotic day in Catalonia and, especially, in Barcelona. And the forecasts have been fulfilled. In The Country They note that many passengers were not aware of the measure when they arrived at the stations and that they were not offered any alternative there. In The Vanguard They collect complaints from passengers who are not being told when service can return. Some of them, they point out in the newspaper, have waited for an hour at the stations for trains that have never arrived. It was not until 7:00 when the stations closed definitively. From early in the morning, bus services are saturated in Barcelona. In 20 Minutes They collect the voice of a driver from Barcelona, ​​who assures that “it is chaos. Normally we are always full, but today even more so.” Given the difficulties students face in arriving, the University of Barcelona has canceled all exams. The rest of the universities in Catalonia maintain normal activity although they have asked students who cannot travel to an exam to contact their teacher as soon as possible. For now, the only alternative proposed by the Generalitat It is the recommendation to prioritize teleworking wherever it is allowed or possible. The roads. On the roads, Trànsit has chosen to raise the toll barriers on the C-32 south in both directions of travel. To the suspension of Rodalies we must add the impact on traffic on fifteen roads (ten of them are cut off by floods or landslides) as a result of the storm that is hitting the autonomous community. In The Newspaper They report that all accesses to Barcelona are jammed or have been jammed early in the morning. In addition, various accidents have made traffic even more complicated.

China has been building the Great Green Wall for 50 years. What I had not planned was to alter the rains

by

The China’s forests are growing. It has nothing to do with a natural process, but with a meticulously followed strategy to contain the desert expansion and reforest the country with billions of trees. The consequence of this reforestation is not limited to having more trees and two studies have just shown the counterpart of massive ecological engineering. This is not good news: the continental hydrological cycle is being altered. The Green Wall. Of China’s deserts, the Gobi may be the best known, but the Taklamakan It is one of the most problematic. 85% of this 337,600 km² desert are dunes, which at certain times of the year generates sand storms that leave the surrounding towns without crops. And countries like the two Koreas or Japan too they suffered the effects of storms. Furthermore, it was growing, so in 1978, the country launched march the Refugio Tres Norte Forest Program. The strategy: a series of tree belts to contain the expansion of its largest deserts. The objective: to go from forest cover in the country of 5.05% in 1997 to almost 15%, and the idea is complete that belt by 2050 with a total of 4,500 kilometers long. At the moment, the Great Green Wall has completed the shield around Taklamakan with a belt of about 3,000 km, observing a decrease in sandstorms. Consequences in water. Apart from that desert, in others such as Ulanbuh, Korqin, Hunshandake, Maowusu and Kubuqi, tens of thousands of square kilometers of forest and pasture have been built. And, although the storms have decreased, different investigations are noticing a secondary effect: an alteration of the water cycle throughout the continent. Published in Earth’s Future, a study carried out by Chinese researchers shows how new vegetation has increased evapotranspiration in the region. Bottom line: More water is being pumped from the ground into the atmosphere, meaning winds are transporting water to regions like the Tibetan Plateau as rain while the monsoon regions of the northwest and east are suffering a decrease in its net water availability. Non-uniform redistribution. This greater green cover causes restored forests and grasslands to transpire more water than bare soil or traditional crops. This additional moisture It enters the atmosphere, which falls in other regions as rain. According to the study, the consequences at the national level were the following: Evapotranspiration increased by 1.71 mm/year. Precipitation also increased by 1.24 mm/year. Water availability (from aquifers and springs, for example) decreased by 0.46 mm/year. And, as we say, the process is not uniform because the water is moving from one area to another. Greening/conserving water. It is not the only study published on the subject, but it is one that coincides in time with another published in August of this year in which, after analyzing 1,046 hydrological stations and their data from the last 60 years, they discovered that the flow of the rivers decreased by more than 70%. Their conclusion is that it is not an effect of climate change, but of changes in the landscape caused by human intervention. It makes perfect sense: trees need water to grow, and that amount of new trees makes them act like a giant pump, reducing the amount of water that feeds the rivers. Thus, there is a tension between greening China and conserving its water, since once in the clouds, it precipitates air currents wherever you go. Implications. In the end, the researchers conclude that the strategy when managing water must be changed and that hydrographic plans must take into account both the land basins and the “air basin”, anticipating where the water evaporated by the forests will travel. Because the ambitious reforestation plan has 24 years left and the country has invested a lot in it directly – by planting trees – but also with policies that prohibit the felling of forests or with incentives for farmers to convert their croplands into pastures. And, well, the consequences not only have to do with water. That the Natural Forest Protection Program prohibited logging in primary forests provoked that Chinese loggers would ‘loot’ the Burmese forests. Something that adds to the conflict between both nations.

There are so many trips planned to the Moon that the UN has created a “lunar circulation committee” to regulate traffic.

by

The Moon is coming into fashion after 50 years of calm. But this time it is not a race between two: it is a commercial race in which old and new space powers, as well as a multitude of private companies, participate. The lunar “jam.” The interest is so sudden that in the last two years there have been 12 attempted lunar missions. This “blitz” of moon landings, driven by public-private programs such as NASA’s CLPS, has proven to be a quick, cheap, but also a little chaotic to reach the Moon. Still, worrying about “traffic jams” on the Moon sounds absurd. Cislunar space (the region between the geostationary orbit of the Earth and the Moon) is gigantic: 2,000 times larger than that of Earth’s orbit. If there is so much room, where is the problem? The problem is that everyone wants the same place. In the same way that on Earth all cars use the roads, on the Moon missions tend to cluster in a very select set of stable orbits. The immensity of cislunar space is, therefore, deceptive, explain professors of International Affairs and Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, in an article for The Conversation. To make matters worse. Most government sensors that track satellites in Earth orbit are not designed to detect and monitor objects this far away. The Moon’s own glare makes the task difficult. This uncertainty has a direct consequence: it forces operators to be excessively cautious. When in doubt about a possible collision, agencies prefer to waste fuel and carry out an evasion maneuver, which interrupts scientific missions and shortens the useful life of the ships. 50 satellites are enough for chaos. According to research published in the Journal of Spacecraft and Rocketsonly 50 satellites in lunar orbit are enough for each of them to have to maneuver an average of four times a year in order to avoid a possible collision. 50 satellites may seem like a lot, but at the current rate of launches, we could reach that number in less than a decade. And it’s not theory. It’s already happening. The Indian orbiter Chandrayaan-2 had to maneuver three times between 2019 and 2023 to avoid dangerous approaches (one of them with NASA’s LRO probe). And this occurred when there were only six operational spacecraft orbiting the Moon. The UN wants to bring order. This is where international diplomacy comes in. The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), the main global forum for space law, has taken action on the matter. In early 2025, COPUOS formally established a new working group: the Action Team on Lunar Activities Consultation (ATLAC). The goal of this team is precisely to create a draft of space “traffic rules.” They have until 2027 to study recommendations and a possible international consultation mechanism.

Since 2024, Greece has had a six-day work week. Now, it is planned to establish a 13-hour day

by

Economic recovery became a top priority for the conservative government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis. His strategy to try to improve Greece’s low productivity was apparently simple: work more days. However, extending the working day to six working days it doesn’t seem enough and now the Greek executive proposes increasing the daily work day to 13 hours. Unions and worker associations have not been slow to respond to the measure by calling for protests and a general strike. The working day in Greece. In 2024, Greece approved new labor regulations that allowed for six day work week for certain industries that operate 24 hours a day, increasing the weekly working hours from 40 to 48 hours. This measure already generated social and political unrest in its day due to the impact on the lives of Greek workers. The Eurostat Q2 2025 data reveal that 20.9% of Greek workers between 20 and 64 years old work more than 45 hours a week, compared to 9.7% in Spain or 11.4% in Italy. According to 2023 data recorded by Eurostat, Greece would have the longest average working day in the EU, with 39.8 hours per week, followed by Bulgaria with 39 hours and Poland with 38.9 hours. With 36.4 hours per week, Spain is just above the European Union average of 36 hours. 13 hours with limitations. After allowing the establishment of the six-day work weeks For certain sectors, the labor controversy in Greece has reignited with a Government proposal to allow working hours of up to 13 hours a day in certain cases. The expansion seeks to improve flexibility and reduce bureaucracy, but just as it says GuardianGreek workers denounce that this measure represents a historic setback and an increase in burnout and work stressreaching unsustainable levels. “You can’t push people like that; at some point there will be an explosion,” Makis Kontogiorgos, a trade unionist at a major technology company, told the British newspaper. The law stipulates that this extension can be applied only 37 days per year per worker, which is equivalent to a maximum of three days per month. In addition, extended hours are voluntary for the employee and overtime will be paid an additional 40% over the standard rate. The regulations maintain other established limits, such as a mandatory rest of 11 hours between days and a maximum average of 48 hours of work per week in a period of four months. A “voluntary” measure. According to has manifested to the Greek press Niki Kerameos, Minister of Labor and Social Security of the current Greek government, “this is an exceptional provision. The employee you have the right to refusewithout being threatened with dismissal or unfavorable treatment. However, union forces see this “voluntariness” of the measure as an open door to coercion by companies, retaliating against those employees who choose not to extend their working hours. “That is not possible without consequences, since the employee has minimal bargaining power,” assured to D.W. Theodoros Koutroukis, Professor of Labor Relations at the Democritus University of Thrace. Much ado about nothing. The union response to the measure has not been long in coming, with the call for various demonstrations in the main cities of the country and a general strikedenouncing that “this law will not improve anything”, assured to France24 Panagiotis Gakas, member of the construction workers union. In one interview with a local mediathe minister highlighted that only 0.1% of businesses used the provision of the emergency shift allowed with the six-day work week, which shows a low adoption of this measure despite the imedia impact it had before being approved in 2024, equating it with the commotion caused by the specific increase of 13 hours. The key to avoiding abuse. In the previous labor reform of the Mitsotakis government, the implementation of a digital card for labor control and overtime was approved. A very similar system to which has been raised from the Ministry of Labor in Spain and which is in the public consultation phase before its approval. As stated According to the Greek Minister of Labor, this measure has the function of recording real working time and has made it possible to detect overtime that was not previously declared: “In 2025, 1.8 million more overtime hours were declared than in 2024, just in the first eight months.” This will help ensure that the number of overtime hours does not exceed legal limits and that workers are compensated fairly. Minister Kerameus defends that this regulation protects employees by guaranteeing adequate compensation and avoiding abuses by employers, accompanied by safeguards such as guaranteed days off and protection against unjustified dismissals, presenting itself as a key tool to enforce the law.

The Spanish rail giant had planned to build a lightwail between Jerusalem and the West Bank. Now has a problem

by

The Basque CAF It is found In the international view for its participation in the Jerusalem Railway Project, which connects Israeli settlements considered illegal by the United Nations. The pressure on the company has intensified after appearing cited in An official report of the UN on companies that benefit from the occupation. A dispute project. CAF has been part of a consortium with the Israeli Shapir since 2019 to build and expand the red and green lines of the Light Jerusalem Rail. The project, valued at 1.8 billion euros, includes 27 kilometers of new roads and 50 stations that connect settlements in the West Jerusalem. The Basque company would take more than 500 million euros for construction and equipment, in addition to its participation in management for 15 to 25 years. Why is it problematic. The UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, has included to CAF in its report “of the economy of occupation to the economy of the genocide”, presented before the Human Rights Council. According to the document, these infrastructure “contribute to the maintenance and consolidation of illegal settlements” and connect the colonies with Israel “while excluding and segregating the Palestinians.” The Human Rights Council itself declared the project illegal in 2016 and 2017. The pressure intensifies. Amnesty International has been asking CA for years to leave the project. “CAF cannot continue looking the other way and not meet international recommendations,” affirms Esteban Beltrán, director of the NGO in Spain. The organization also claims the Spanish government and the Basque Government, a shareholder of the company, to evaluate the CAF links with “the illegal behavior of Israel.” Others are retiring. The case It is not isolated. In 2024, the Catalan Comsa withdrew from the consortium that had won the construction of the blue line of the Jerusalem tram. The Basque Acerera Sidenor also announced that it will stop serving steel to Israeli companies. International funds such as the Norwegian sovereign have retired their participations from Shapir, a partner of CAF, and the manager Storeband excluded CAF from his portfolio for his participation in the project. CAF’s response. The company maintains in its sustainability reports that “no violation of human rights has been detected” derived from their participation and describes the territories as “object of political controversy.” However, for international organizations, CAF is obviating the resolutions of the UN Security Council, the European Union and the International Court of Justice on the illegality of settlements. Between the lines. The project places CAF at a crossroads between commercial interests and international pressure. Your shareholders include to the Basque Government, Kutxabank, the Matrix of the Mayoral Textile and the workers themselves with 25% of the shares. Meanwhile, the geopolitical context has hardened after the attacks of October 7 and the Israeli response in Gaza, increasing international scrutiny over any company linked to occupied territories.

The problem of heat arrival is not just the 40º planned by Aemet: also the “tropical nights”

by

Heat has come and with him a more annoying phenomenon than the high daytime temperatures: the so -called “tropical nights.” Bad news for those who have problems reconciling with heat. Tropical nights. The warm episode that this week is manifested on a good part of Spain threatens to bring maximum thermometers above 35º in various areas, even above 40º in areas such as the Guadalquivir Valley. However, beyond the maximum, There is another fact to pay attention: minimum temperatures. We talk about “Tropical nights“When the minimum night temperatures do not fall from the 20th Celsius. That will be precisely what happens in areas of the southern peninsula and in the Canary Islands throughout the week, according to the forecasts of the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet). According to Aemet In an informative note Dedicated to the warm episode, the minimum temperatures will rise throughout the week, more slowly and intense than the maximum, yes. The minimums above 20º will affect areas of the southwest quadrant and the Mediterranean coast, also extending to the Ebro Valley during Saturday. On the edge of the “equatorial night.” In fact, Aemet’s forecasts They anticipate minimums that could remain around 24th towards the end of the week in areas of Malaga or Cádiz. This implies that some areas are on the edge of the call “Equatorial Night”, Term that refers to the nights on which the minimums do not fall from the 25th. A anticyclone, and a Dana? But what is happening so that spring has ended so abruptly? Much of the fault has an anticyclone inside located on the waters of the Atlantic, around the Azores. The influence of high pressures will leave us a great atmospheric stability, explains Aemet, with “practically clear skies and high insolation.” But there is even more: from Wednesday, the appearance of a Dana between the Canary Islands and the Gulf From Cádiz I could drag with it a mass of warm, dry and with suspension dust, first to the south and then towards the peninsular center. The result of this would be the additional increase in the temperatures that we will see throughout the second half of the week. Notices for extreme temperatures. Thus, the agency has issued several notices for extreme temperatures for tomorrow Wednesday and for Thursday by maximum temperatures between 37º and 39º. Is there an end in view? The big question now is when this will end. And the truth is that it is still early to venture since uncertainty predominates towards the end of the week, says Aemet. According to Explain the agencyit is “likely that as of Saturday 31 the Dana will dissipate” and that instability in the peninsular northern increases, in turn giving clouds to reduce the failure of these days. In any case, we will have to wait to see if these predictions are confirmed. In Xataka | The reservoirs are almost 22% above the average of the last decade.

Several functions of Apple Intelligence will not arrive this year as planned

by

Almost new months have passed since Tim Cook presented Apple Intelligence in the WWDC24. With this, the apple company revealed its great commitment to position itself in the vertiginous career of the Artificial Intelligence (AI)but the launch of some of the announced functions is waiting. The AI ​​system had to debut with iOS 18 In September 2024, But it did not arrive until October 18.1. Its deployment would continue with an improved version of Siri that understands the context and is able to take action on the user’s name in 2025, although Apple has just confirmed that several months will be delayed. The news comes from Dary Fireballthe blog of the legendary John Gruber, a journalist specialized in Apple, who has received a statement from the firm of Cupertino where they indicate that the launch of the most intelligent and personalized version of Siri “will take more time than expected” and that they hope to display the improvements “Throughout next year” As we can see, the American technology has avoided committing to a specific date, so we do not know at what time of 2026 the renewal of Siri will come or in which version of the operating system it will materialize. It could be in an intermediate version of iOS 19 or, if the delay lengthens, even in some version of iOS 20. So far, we have considered the launch dates in the United States and other markets, but the situation in the European Union (EU) could be different. Without going any further, in the community block We are still waiting The arrival of Apple Intelligence in Spanish for iOS and Macos devices without installing betas. Apple has not given details about the reasons for the delay, but in February, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg He pointed out that This project faced engineering problems and software failures. According to medium sources, internal tests showed that the functions did not respond as expected, and already pointed to a possible delay. What has improved in Siri and what is still pending? The Cupertino company has already improved some aspects of Siri. The assistant already understands natural language a little better, But as we pointed out in our tests still leaves enough to desire. The Integration with chatgptwhich connects with the OpenAI chatbot to offer more elaborate answers. With the delay announced today, the deployment of context personnel is in the air until 2026. This function will allow Siri better to understand certain requests thanks to its contextual knowledge. For example, if you ask “what time does my mother’s flight arrive?”, Siri could search the messages he sent you to find the information in the corresponding message. It is also delayed until next year APP ATENTs, a mechanism that will allow Siri control better operating system functions and applications. In this case we can ask the assistant to draw information from a flight in a travel application to share it with a contact, all using the voice. But that’s not all. Bloomberg points out that the American firm is also working on a more conversational version of Siri. This has had its own delays. It was going to arrive in 2026, but it is likely that it does not launch until 2027. For now, Apple’s marketing material continues to promote some functions that we still can’t use.

The Xiaomi Su7 Ultra has unleashed madness by registering 7,000 reservations in 10 minutes. They planned to sell 10,000 units throughout 2025

by

Xiaomi aspires to sell 10,000 units of your Xiaomi Su7 Ultra. Those were the words of Lei Jun, CEO of the company, a few days ago in his account of the Chinese social network Weibo, as they collect in South China Morning Post. The announcement warmed a little more the event of yesterday, February 27, in which the company was expected to finally reveal all the details of its faster, powerful and radical electric car. The same as has broken the record in the green hell and in Three other circuits. Finally, and although it almost seemed that we already knew everything we could know in advance, Lei Jun in person was by disagreeing All the detailsone by one, what they have in hand. With direct references to Porsche and Tesla He told us that his electric car will be faster and more efficient than German and American models and, if that were not enough, he demonstrated some autonomous driving capabilities that seemed really advanced. And all this for a fraction of its price. Not just that. Also the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra was a car announced at an even cheaper price than expected. And the results did not wait. They wanted to produce 10,000 units … And everything indicates that they will have to expand (if they can) the plans. As we said, Lei Jun affirmed a few days ago that the company hoped to place this number in the market of its most expensive electric car. An electric car that will finally have the following prices: Xiaomi Su7 Ultra: 529,000 Chinese yuan (about 70,000 euros to direct change) Xiaomi Su7 Ultra with the Racing package: 629,000 Chinese yuan (about 83,200 euros to change) Xiaomi Su7 Ultra Nürburgring: 814,900 Chinese yuan (about 107,000 euros) It should be noted that The price of the base model is 34.97% lower to which the first reserves of the car opened when it was announced last October. Then all the characteristics were specified. To get these three versions, there are two ways. The first is to reserve the car for 20,000 Chinese yuan (about 2,700 euros) for seven days. At that time the client can back and guarantee the reimbursement. It is not guaranteed that you want to ensure one of the first units. In that case, the reserve is 40,000 Chinese yuan (about 5,400 euros) but will receive one of the units already manufactured. In addition, if you commission a unit before March 31, “you will be entitled to advantages worth up to 90,000 rmb (12,000 euros) “, in the words of the brand. These prices have led to reservations to shoot. In 10 minutes the company said that 6,900 reservations had already been registered, our colleagues collect Xiaomi world.
