The domino effect of tariffs is also being felt in Valencia. Specifically, in the Ford factory

by

Ford has drastically trimmed the production forecasts of the new bronco in its Almussafes plant. Of the 300,000 units initially planned, the figure has fallen to 209,000, as published Digital economy citing their own sources. Why is it important. This 30% cut reflects how Trump’s tariff policies are already moving chairs in the European industry before applying. The accuracy of the new figure – 209,000 units compared to the 300,000 round rounds – lets read a very specific calculation between a very specific projected stage between the lines. Between the lines. Suppliers openly speak of the “Trump effect” by explaining these changes. The most important reduction affects precisely the volume allocated to the United States: from 91,000 units per year provided for a much lower but not even pointed out. Ford is adjusting its transatlantic export plans in the face of tariff uncertainty. And that is felt in the Valencian economy, whose GDP depends by approximately 10% of this factory. In detail. The effect on the supply chain is, the redundancy, in chain: Suppliers have to recalculate investments. Prices should be modified based on a lower production volume. Lower production means less industrial capacity required. And that facilitates the transfer of suppliers outside the Almussafes environment. Yes, but. Trump will end his mandate in 2028, but bronco production is planned between 2027 and 2035. That is, three quarters of the manufacturing will be done without him in the presidency. But the car is an industry without much flexibility to modify the decisions that are made now. The threat. Reduce estimates during the award of limited pieces future expansions. If suppliers dimension their capacity for 209,000 vehicles, then increase production will be more complex and expensive. It is not easy to undo steps and make them again. The industry is creating a productive roof based on the most pessimistic stage. Deepen.

Its sponsorship contrasts with brands such as Stellantis or Renault, which already manufacture vehicles in the African country, which gives clues of a geographical diversification of the productive strategy.

Filipino rice wine hid a superfood. In the waste we discarded, specifically

by

It is often said that one can be a treasure for another. We have found a new example of this phenomenon, in the Philippines. The country responsible for golden ricea transgenic version of the food devised to replace the vitamin A deficiency, now brings us another product related to this cereal, a “loaded” product of nutrients. And this time with a more “artisanal” process. By -product, but food. A group of researchers has discovered that a material discarded in the Fermentation of the Tapuy, a traditional rice wine of the Philippines, are loaded with antioxidants. The compounds found in the You readwhich is what this residue is called, they were studied in the laboratory resulting in a rejuvenation of the animal models used in the study. The Tapuy. The Tapuy is a drink produced in the Philippines, the result of rice fermentation. The process uses, in addition to rice, a fermentation initiator called Bubod. The resulting residue, You readit has been the main object of the investigation, and is mainly composed of the waste of fermented rice, yeasts and other microbes. The study responsible for the study analyzed how various types of crops resulted in different types of You read. Optimizing nutrients. The team thus found a way to optimize the fermentation process, a specific crop that implied some You read Loaded nutrients. The result contained an abundance of polyphenolscompounds with antioxidant capacity that we can also find in products such as The wine or the chocolate. The team tested the different formulas feeding with them the worms of the species Caenorhabditis Elegans. They observed that an initiator of fermentation with high concentrations of the species Rhizopus oryzae, mucor indicus and Saccharomyces cerevisiaeIt was associated with an important increase in the life expectancy of these animals. They also observed that the worms fed with this residue produced more viable eggs. The details of the research were published in an article in the magazine Discover Food . Of animal to humans. There is still an important step to give, and it is to study how these results can translate into benefits in humans. The worms of the speciesC. ElegansThey are often used in medicine as animal models by some key characteristics such as transparency allows us to see more clearly the biological and biochemical processes in the animal. However, it should always be remembered that what works in animal models does not have to work in humans. Among other reasons because our diet is very varied and the multiple interactions between compounds can dilute their benefits.

To win the AI ​​race, OpenAi wants the US to forget about laws. Specifically, those of Copyright

by

OpenAi is immersed in one demand seriesand all of them for the same thing: the alleged violations of the copyright that he has committed when training his AI models. Now a unique idea has occurred to get rid of all those problems. No copyright for AI. In one Proposal published by OpenAIThe company suggests the US government to consider a “copyright strategy that promotes the freedom to learn” and that “preserves the ability of American models to learn from materials with copyright.” Or what is the same: that copyright laws are not applied. IA companies have done what they wanted. We have been in which the demands for copyright rape to AI companies have been frequent. Companies that develop these models have shown no shame in this regard, and The funny thing is that there is still no consequences. What OpenAi now asks is that there are definitely not and that those works can work without legal concerns. China steps on our heels. The main argument to recommend something like that is to compete with more guarantees against China. The Asian giant has demonstrated striking advances, and in fact in Openai indicate how “although America maintains its leadership in Ia today, Deepseek It shows that our leadership is not broad and is narrowing. “ Fair use. As usual, the excuse of a “fair use” of the contents with copyright appears. According to the proposal: “If the developers of the People’s Republic of China have unlimited access to US data and companies, they run out of fair use, the AI ​​race will have finished. United States loses, just as democratic AI does. Ultimately, access to more data from the widest possible range of sources will guarantee greater access to more powerful innovations that provide even more knowledge.” “AI Action Plan” in sight. In January Trump revoked The Executive Order on the Biden He had signed In October 2023. Shortly after he issued a new one And he proposed an “Action Plan” that should be ready in 180 days. Openai’s intentions are that this plan includes such concessions. But the relationship with Trump is delicate. It is true that Openai is the great fencer with softbank of the Stargate projectand that is an initiative that Trump has presumed a lot. However, the relationship of Sam Altman’s company with the current president is complex, especially since Openai is In full legal battle With Elon Musk, the main advisor Trump. White letter. In Openai they seek to have white letter to train their models with works protected by copyright. Not only that: they also want to get their tools to help modernize government agencies being approved more quickly. Experts have not been warning that a too premature adoption of these tools could have dangerous consequences, for example in terms of possible leaks and information security. OpenAi commercialized Chatgpt Gov In January precisely with the idea that government employees had access to this type of services. China’s AI models should be revealed. The company’s proposal led by Sam Altman goes further and indicates that the AI ​​models of the People’s Republic of China are prohibited. According to them, models like Depseek They are “financially supported and controlled by the State”, and pose national security risks. Companies such as Microsoft, Perplexity or Amazon stay on their servers from the Deepseek service, but the data stay on US servers, so it seems difficult for the China Government to have access to them.

Employees value both teleworking that they would be willing to lower their salary: specifically up to 25%

by

100% remote work is becoming a model with less and less presencesince companies are adopting hybrid days at best, and the return to the face -to -face in many others. In that context, A study From the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) I have revealed that employees are willing to give up a percentage of their salary, or accept offers with a lower salary, if that allows them keep working from home. Up to 25% salary cut. He NBER study He has analyzed how much the employees of the technological sector value remote work, using concrete data and comparing it with their salary. This assessment allows to measure the real value that employees give to teleworking in a context in which face -to -face work and hybrid work models have become the most common option. The result has been surprising since the employees came to assume discounts of up to 25% on average in exchange for not having to go to the office. As I know resigned from teleworking daysthe salary amount to which they were willing to resign was also reduced, going down to the strip from 15 to 20% of the total salary. A much higher cuts than expected. The National Bureau of Economic Research is not the first study that addresses this valuation of teleworking, but the estimates of the previous studies resulted in a much smaller percentages fork that placed the cut that were willing to assume between 5% and 10% of your total salary. As an example, we find The study carried out in January 2024 by the University of Barcelona and the “La Caixa” Foundation, which set this percentage in 8% salary cut. However, something that must be taken into account is that teleworking options have been maintained In high qualification profiles and higher wages, so this cut already part of a salary range with a high percentile. The law of supply and demand. According to Report data ‘IV Radiography of Teleworking in Spain 2024’ prepared by Infojobs, 7.6% of employed people work more than half of their weekly day from home. However, The study ‘State of Remote Work’ of 2023 prepared by Buffer, revealed that 98% of employees preferred to work from home for the constant interruptions and by the displacements to the office. On the other hand, as the Infojobs study pointed out, the offers that included some teleworking modality has been reduced by 2024, representing 14% of the total employee vacancies published. This percentage has only declined since in 2021 it reached its 21% peak, which was reduced to 19% in 2022 and 18% of the total in 2023. According to the NBER study, reduction in the remote employment offer has caused remote work to be perceived as a much more valuable modality than was estimated in previous studies, especially between technological industries. A justification for charging less? The study opens an important debate on compensatory differentials between employees. Employees with teleworking days do not show substantial salary differences With respect to their peers who go to the office. That would leave the door open to companies could reduce salary for remote roles under the principle of compensatory differentials. That is, pay less in exchange for non -salary benefits such as hourly flexibility, which their classmates do not enjoy with a face -to -face day. Something that is not happening. According to the authors of the study, this salary equalization suggests that technology companies are still adjusted to this New labor reality and compete to retain talent by offering similar wages, regardless of whether the work is remote or face -to -face. Telefajo: an advantage for SMEs. As the ADECCO IT & DIGITAL SALARIAL GUIDESMEs cannot compete with the salary ranges offered by large technological ones. That is why teleworking offers you an opportunity To attract a talent that finds no remote employment offers in large technological ones, which they have given by amortized Your adventure with teleworking. Nber’s study demonstrates a trend in which qualified employees would be willing to collect a lower salary that would perceive it in a large multinational, in exchange for being able to work from home. This implies a factor that balances the opportunities to capture talent for SMEs.
