If it is a matter of time for AI to enter our cars, Nissan and Deepseek have decided to advance

by

Deepseek’s adoption is being much faster than that of Chatgpt. The artificial intelligence that arises as the new reference in China is already integrating natively into smartphones manufacturers, such as Honor and Nubia In your native country. He is also landing in electric cars, such as ByD, which have already signed agreements to improve their autonomous driving system thanks to Deepseek technology. Following his steps, the first Japanese manufacturer to bet on this Open Source model for greater interface level integration has been Nissan. A plan similar to the byd. This week we knew byd’s plans to integrate Depseek into its research and development line. The agreement with Byd had as its main focus to implement an advanced autonomous driving system, raised for both high -end vehicles and for the most accessible. Beyond the autonomous driving plans, improvements were raised in the vehicle’s own software thanks to the integration of this AI. Is exactly what he wanted Announce Nissan. The company has revealed that its new electric sedan, the Nissan N7 (a vehicle born of a joint venture with the Dongfeng and oriented to the Asian market), is the first vehicle to incorporate a deep integration with Depseek-R1. The vehicle will be able to process natural language, make recommendations related to navigation and entertainment system, as well as adjust to driver’s habits to vary their behavior. A thrust for software. From a time to this part, the software has become one of the main keys when it comes to a vehicle. Android Auto, Android Automotive, Apple CarPlay, Own Solutions of the manufacturer, Alliances with video game development companies… Who wants to lead the car of the future has to lead in software, and alliances with agents such as Depseek will be key to it. China is also one of the countries that is leading the transition to the electric vehicle, and having the main alternative to Chatgpt can completely shake the market. Nissan is not alone. Nissan and Byd are not the only companies that have approached Depseek. The gigantic Chinese group Geely, owner among others of Polestar and Volvo, has also opted for China to integrate it in the future in some of its vehicles. The objective and advantage for the user? The same as in the previous case: that drivers can enjoy a more connected driving experience, thanks to the natural understanding of language that these models allow.

births have fallen 50% since the Baby Boom time

by

Spain does not go through its best demographic moment. The data published yesterday by the INE show that the country touches the 49.1 million of inhabitants, Your biggest brand of the historical series, with almost 1.7 million residents more than at the beginning of this decade. And yet, despite that record figure, that he had never lived as many people in Spain as now, the truth is that demography faces a huge challenge: birth of birth, which makes growth It basically supports In immigration. And there is a fact that reveals it clearly: the number of births has fallen more than 50% From the Baby Boom. Spain, in record. Spain faces a peculiar population scenario. He had never resided so many people in the country nor had he been so close to reaching the barrier of the 50 million inhabitants, and yet, despite that good news advanced yesterday For the INE, Spain also faces a deep and worrying demographic crisis. It may sound contradictory, but deep down both trends have little mysterious: the census grows, but supported fundamentally in The arrival of immigrantswhich has been the great demographic crutch of the country throughout the last year. With regard to birth, things are very different. Waiting to know the final balance of 2024, the 2023 data They reflect that this indicator is far, far away, from going through its best moment. A figure: 49.07 million. That is the official number of resident population of Spain the first day of 2025. The data is good for several reasons. As Remember the INEit is the “maximum value of the historical series” and shows that in the last year the state register won about 458,300 people. Reading is clear, as is its explanation: if Spain grows it is basically because of the balance of immigrants. “Population growth was due to the increase of people born abroad, since those born in Spain decreased,” Point out The statistical observatory before moving on to the data: on January 1, the population born in Spain had experienced a quarterly fall of 0.05%, while the one born abroad grew 1.47%. And how was birth? Waiting for the definitive and updated data, for the moment the brushstrokes that the INE leaves are not especially good. Birth in Spain falls or in the best case stagnates with a slight growth. And that as long as we talk about short -term comparisons. If we expand the focus and compare the current number of births with which Spain registered decades ago, in the Baby Boom, The difference is abysmal. The provisional estimates of the INE show that between January and November 2024 some were recorded in the whole of Spain 296,100 birthsmore or less like the previous year (+0.8%). If we go to the closed data of 2023 we verify that during that year they were born in Spain 320,656 babies2.6% less than in 2022 and far from the 425,700 that the INE counted only a decade before. Year Total births Resident population (January 1) 1975 669,378 35,569,375 1980 571.018 37,346,940 1985 456,298 38,407,829 1990 401,425 38,853,227 1995 363,469 39,639,726 2000 397,632 40,470,182 2005 466,371 43,296,335 2010 486,575 46,486,621 2015 420,290 46,449,565 2020 341,315 47,332,614 2023 320,656 48,085,361 A percentage: 50%. The above are annual or monthly comparative. The most interesting readings are obtained by opening the focus, as the Professor of Human Geography Rafael Puyol has done in An article Posted in The conversation. It basically exposes two figures: if during the best years of the Baby Boom (In demographic terms), there for 50, 60 and the first half of the 70s, they were born in Spain between 650,000 and 660,000 babies, now that figure has been cut in half. Since 2017 It does not reach 400,000. With two concrete figures the jump is better appreciated. In 1960 they were registered in Spain 663,375 births. In 2023 were 320,656. In summary: a collapse of more than 50% in a matter of a few decades, a devastating percentage that for Puyol is basically explained by a combination of economic and social factors. Which is it?Among others the changes in the family model and the hierarchy of values, education and The incorporation From women to the labor market. A trend, three indicators. Beyond raw birth data, The expert animates to look at three key demographic indicators. The first is fertility, the “average number of children per woman of proper age.” In Spain that mean remains below The 2.1 barrier which are considered necessary for generational renewal since the 80s. Moreover, in 2023 it was 1.12. The second data is the collapse of the number of women with ages in the strip that are usually associated with motherhood, between 25 and 39 years. After making accounts Puyol warns that so far from the century the number of women with that profile in Spain has fallen into more than 700,000. “Potential mothers are increasingly scarce,” warns. The third factor is that we have children every time. In fact the number of lighting between Mothers of 40 or more years It has shot 20% in a decade. Why is it important? Because birth evolution is not just a statistical curiosity or a problem for demographers. At a higher volume of births, the population pyramid is widen more by the base and less is the aging of a country, which has implications at a social, labor and of course for Public coffers. The clearest example is the sustainability of pension system. It is not an exclusive problem from Spain. Something similar occurs in other nations, both from the rest of Europe and from countries and Japan, South Korea either Even Chinathat also faces the challenge of aging.

South Korea has found a great structure in the waters that is disputed with China. It is the second time, and Beijing does not deny it

by

The conflict It began in the months of April and May 2024. In front of its coasts, in The yellow seaSouth Korea sighted a series of floating structures in the space that delimits the nation with China. From Beijing it was tried to reassure the neighbor explaining that what they saw only had fishing connotations, but no one escaped then that behind the movement could exist much more. New structures have turned on the spirits in Korea. A new dispute zone. As we said, a few weeks ago China began The construction of maritime infrastructure in the yellow seaa strategically crucial area between the Chinese Costa and the Korean Peninsula. The new facilities, A floating steel structure of more than 50 meters high and widewere detected by South Korean satellites, raising concerns that China is using the tactics of consolidating territorial claims through permanent constructions. With An area of ​​417,000 square kilometers, the yellow sea is rich in marine resources, oil and gaswhich makes it a key point of economic and geopolitical interest for both nations. Until now, South Korea has protested by the installation of Several structures since 2024claiming that these could be part of a major plan in China to exercise sovereignty over the area. In fact, the South Korean authorities believe that Beijing could build up to 12 of these structures, which would turn the area into a friction point into the already tense relations between both countries. China and its maritime tactics. The strategy of building permanent structures to affirm sovereignty is not new in Chinese politics. Moreover, Beijing has applied similar tactics in the South China Seawhere has transformed reefs into military bases And he has claimed jurisdiction on disputed waters with the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and other countries. Everything indicates that the strategy seems to spread to the yellow sea, with direct implications for South Korea and its allies (Particularly, the United States). What does China say. We said it at the beginning. Chinese officials They have tried to minimize controversyalways describing these facilities as “fishing support infrastructures”but the South Korean security community fears that they are advanced for an eventual statement of Chinese sovereignty. In the words of Sang Hun Seokformer South Korean Diplomatic and Security Analyst, “these facilities act as the maritime equivalent of boots on the ground, establishing a physical presence that China will then use to consolidate their claims.” The provisional measures zone. The truth is that the yellow sea has been a historical dispute area between China and South Korea. In 2001, Both countries established the one known as the provisional measures zone (PMZ) to administer the area of ​​exclusive economic zones (ZEE) and avoid confrontations, delimiting fishing rights and prohibiting new constructions or the exploitation of resources until reaching a permanent agreement. Under it, the two nations are prohibited from building infrastructure or exploiting resources beyond fishing if the other does not agree. What happens? What South Korea He has repeatedly denounced for years that China has ignored these restrictionsallowing their fishermen to operate illegally in the South Korean Zee. Said dispute has even led to violent clasheswith South Korean maritime patrols shooting against Chinese vessels on more than one occasion. Hence, the construction of permanent structures is now seen as a new level of provocation, as it could sit a precedent that Weakens the capacity of South Korea to assert your maritime rights. The elephant in the room: USA. He Mutual Defense Pact between South Korea and the United States makes this dispute just a bilateral issue. With 28,000 American soldiers parked in South Koreaany Chinese movement that alters the strategic balance in the region could attract Washington’s attention. Until now, Americans have maintained a containment approach against Chinese expansion in the Indo-Pacific, particularly in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, but but The yellow sea could become a new piece on the game board. Dispute with historical roots. From the Chinese perspective, Yellow Sea control has a strategic and symbolic weight. The reason? In the last 200 years, The great battles that defined the history of China were fought in this regionfrom the Opium wars until The Sino-Japanese war. Under this perspective, Beijing’s official narrative considers these wars as a historical humiliation imposed by foreign powers, and recovering absolute control over its coast is seen as part of the restoration of his “historical law”. The Chinese argument to reject an equitable division of the ZEE with South Korea is based on the fact that Its population and their coast are significantly largerso they believe that the dividing line should favor them. On the other sidewalk, South Korea and its allies defend the principle of the “midpoint”, according to which the maritime border should be drawn equally between both countries. And where do it leads to us? It is the big question. Of course, so far the dispute has not reached the seriousness of the Conflict in the South China Sea or the Eastern China Sea, where the Asian nation maintains confrontations with the Philippines and Japan respectivelybut the situation could quickly intensify if Beijing continues to expand its presence. It would not really be “so much.” If South Korea, with the support of the United States, decides to directly challenge these constructions, we could see a new front of tensions in the Indo-Pacific. Perhaps for this reason, at this time the great unknown is to know how far South Korea will allow (and its alliance with the United States) that Chinese tactics advance before taking more forceful measures.

The time of the year in Japan has arrived where everyone has a mask. The fault is World War II

by

It is one of the great paradoxes in Japan. Also one of those images of postcard of the nation. When spring arrives, a colorful veil of vibrant flowers and intoxicating fragrances covers the entire country, nature reveals itself beautiful, but under that harmonious layer it runs and displays a more strategy ruthless For humans. Almost in unison, millions of people begin with uncontrollable sneezing, irritated eyes and low productivity. Today, the seasonal crisis has become a social problem, and all because of a war. An invisible enemy. In 2023, the then Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told that he called it as hay fevereither Kafunshō (Literally, “pollen disease”), was, de facto, a national emergency that demanded an immediate response. With pollen levels in Tokyo reaching record figures in the last decade, Kishida cataloged the crisis as a government priority, announcing A plan that left no room for diplomacy with the enemy: trees. With 42.5% of the affected population and An estimated economic impact at 2.2 billion dollars annuallythe problem had reached a national scale that forced the government to consider it a matter of public policy. The origin of everything: war (and man). Unlike other countries where hay fever is an annoying but manageable condition, in Japan its impact is due to a historical political decision. During World War II, Japan suffered an unprecedented devastation. The incendiary bombings of the allies destroyed a large part of the cities built in wood, generating a crisis of construction materials in the country. After the end of the contest, The government promoted mass reforestation with cedars and cypresses to boost the national wood industry. It had logic: they are native species of rapid growth and with straight trunks ideal for wood production. However, over time, the demand for wood decreased due to the importation of cheap wood from abroad and these forests were abandoned to their fate, vast extensions of abandoned monoculture forests becoming gigantic pollen factories. Today. In The present, More than 40% of Japanese forests are dominated by these highly allergenic specieswhich has caused even people without allergic history to develop symptoms after a few years of residence in the country. The situation is so serious that Some companies have begun to offer subsidies for medical treatments and antiallergic products to its employees, since hay fever reduces the productivity of one third of the population. The counterattack of Japan. The Japanese government response has been radical: In 2023 he ordered the trees responsible for pollen. In an unprecedented campaign, the country began a massive logging and forest replacement plan, replacing current ceders and cypresses with species that produce less pollen. Although the process will take years, the objective is clear: to weaken the production of pollen and relieve the load on the millions of Japanese affected every year. A more intense (and early) seasonal season. This weekend counted the Japan Times media that Japan faces this year one of Kafunshō’s most severe severas in its history, with pollen levels that could double in some regions compared to the previous year. The early detection of cedar pollen in Tokyo, recorded on January 8, marked the beginning of that particularly challenging period for millions of people suffering from symptoms such as sneezing, congestion, irritated eyes, conjunctivitis, fatigue and skin problems. Given such a panorama, the need for protection measures has promoted a transformation in the allergy product industry, merging aesthetics. A society adapted to seasonal war. While the government advances with its selective deforestation plan, the population has developed its own defense against the plague of pollen. In Japan, Hoating fever has generated an entire economy of specialized products ranging from ergonomic masks with antipole filter to protective glasses, repellent sprays and personal air purifiers. Leading brands have developed increasingly advanced solutions. Shiseido, for example, has perfected The antipolen spray Ihada Aller Screen Ex, which creates an invisible shield on the skin to avoid allergenic particles. Fumakilla Allergy Shut Virus, meanwhile, not only blocks pollen, but also the yellow sand transported from the deserts of China and Mongolia. Another level. Companies have brought the fight against hay fever to another level, incorporating avant -garde technology to minimize the effects of allergy in everyday life. This has resulted in the integration of masks designed not only for pollen filtration, but also To enhance facial aesthetics and protect the skin from environmental damage. The masks, omnipresent in Japanese society even before pandemic, They have evolved from simple filter barriers to products that incorporate additional benefits. Before 2020, the options were limited to white surgical models without greater visual attraction. Today Demand has promoted market diversificationallowing the masks to align with standards of beauty and skin care. The role of aesthetics. As we said, the new mask designs not only focus on protection, but also on aesthetics, Reflecting the Japanese beauty ideals, where a well -defined jaw and a stylized nose are desirable features. The brands have responded by creating masks with angled cuts, reinforcements on the nasal bridge and strategic folds that enhance the user’s features. A trend that has been well received by consumers like Hana Satowho recognizes that current models, in addition to offering better filtration, “are more attractive and better mold the face.” The functionality and appearance now go hand in hand in the fight against hay fever. The principle of a new era. Hoating fever has been, for a long time, A cruel nature of nature, an ambush disguised as spring. But Japan seems to be raising against that invisible enemy with an unprecedented strategy: eliminating the root problem, literally. If the government offensive manages to significantly reduce pollen levels, The nation will become the first country to win the war against hay feverestablishing a model for other affected nations. Meanwhile, hay fever has ceased to be simply a seasonal discomfort to become a phenomenon that has promoted innovation in the beauty and well -being industry. The evolution of masks, sprays and skin care routines reflect that growing integration between … Read more

has shown a secret project ahead of time

by

A few days ago, Apple published in his research blog A video showing Elecnt, an experimental robot-lamina, thus breaking its traditional policy of absolute secrecy on developing products. Why is it important. It is the first time in the recent history that Apple publicly reveals a project before its commercial launch. This change speaks for itself and suggests a new strategy of the company in the race for AI and domestic robotics: a somewhat more public and open. Not without reasons. Between bambalins. The robot shown is an articulated lamp, speaker and integrated projector that responds to gestures and voice commands, reminds a lot of the famous pixar lamp. The device makes expressive movements that emulate human emotions: It moves “curious” when exploring its surroundings. Simulates sadness crouching his head when he receives a “no.” Dance when music sounds. Adjust your position to better illuminate user work. And above all, not only moves, but does it in human, emotional form. In perspective. This movement comes after Bloomberg will reveal that Apple is developing domestic robots With an estimated price of $ 1,000 by 2026-2027, thus entering direct competition with Amazon and Google in the market for intelligent domestic attendees. He also anticipated a somewhat early arrival of domestic devices whose screen would be located on an articulated and motorized arm that “follows” the user in the room. Already common technologies, such as Center Stage or Cented Framego right in that direction. What is happening. Apple seems to be testing the public’s reaction to more “human” and expressive robotic interfaces, moving away from minimalism that has characterized its products in the last decade. On the other hand, this opening and the fact that it has been shown in your blog about Machine Learning They leave another possibility open: that Apple is looking to position themselves in the AI ​​and robotics market to attract talent. A way to proclaim the world that she also has plans in those fields. Deepen. The academic publication that accompanies the video explains that users interact more and better with robots that show expressiveness than with those purely functional, especially in social tasks. And there it seems to be a clear proposal: towards the expressiveness of the robot and not only to cold and functional movements.

It is the first time that happens in Spain

The strike they propose through the CGT union The workers of Ubisoft Barcelona, ​​the only headquarters in Spain of the French multinational plans to begin next week, as of February 13. It is not the first labor achievement that these workers achieve, which They syndicated last summer through the video game union coordinator And, in November, they sued Ubisoft for changing what was agreed with respect to Teleworking policy. The date is not accidental: it is the same in which different companies in the sector will stop In France, organized by the Syndescat des Travailleurs et Travailleuses du Jeu Vidéo (STJV), French Industry Union. And although the conflict of workers with the company’s decision to reduce teleworking is the basis of the strike (a 33% reduction, after five years with 60% of the days of the month remotely), as a background is The tremendous crisis that the sector is going through. This crisis has caused layoffs for months, and in Ubisoft, according to CGT, About 500 jobs have been taken ahead. In Spain, the crisis He has hit hard to studies such as Novarama, Smilegate or Tequila Works. That is why the decision of the Ubisoft Barcelona team is especially relevant, which thus becomes The first study that carries out a strike within the industry of the country. The delicate situation that the industry is going through in Spain has led to the Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, support workers’ decision from social networks. Ubisoft Barcelona has about one hundred and ninety employees and has collaborated in the company’s games such as ‘Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege’, ‘Watch Dogs’ and some deliveries of ‘Assassin’s Creed’. They could currently be working on ‘Beyond Good and Evil 2’. Header | Ubisoft In Xataka | The new delay of ‘Assassin’s Creed: Shadows’ points to Ubisoft is for sale.

Putin has ordered to launch a Russian version of Eurovision. The last time the nation voted on lighting the light of the living room

by

In geopolitics, very few things are left to chance, much less if what it is about is to extol the national values. Let’s put as an example Europe and “your” Eurovisionthat strange mixture of cultural exaltation of the peoples of the continent through music, a formula Martian that continues to awaken passions and quite the opposite for decades. In fact, even Russia has signed up for the formula. It is called interview, and in reality its history is older. Relive Russian music. As we said, Vladimir Putin has ordered the return of the Musical Interview contestthe ancient Soviet response to Eurovision, After the exclusion of the nation of the European contest in 2022 Due to the invasion of Ukraine. The event, which will apparently will be held in Moscow this fall, seeks to promote cultural and humanitarian cooperation among the allied countries of Russia, with the participation of nations such as Brazil, China, India and Cuba. The origin of interview. Released in 1977 in the middle of the Cold War, Interview It developed as A platform to promote cultural unity within the communist bloc and compete with the popularity that Eurovision already had then. It was also sought to show aval after Stalin’s death. However, if the event is remembered for something, it was for an unusual event. A peculiar vote. The lack of phones in Soviet homes forced The implementation of an unprecedented voting method: The spectators had to light the light of their house if they liked a song, or remain dark if not, allowing the electric company to register the consumption peaks and determine the winner. The success of the program resulted in surreal situations, with much of the nation in the dark at times, or totally illuminated. During its four editions, The contest managed to attract non -European countries like Cuba and Mongolia (or Finland, who was the only country he can say with “pride” that he has participated in the fever Kitsch In both blocks), standing out as a propaganda event that sought to project an image of diversity within the socialist block. End to the first stage of interview. The sunset came as the Soviet Union began to weaken at the beginning of the 80s. The contest was canceled in 1981 And since 1984 it would be Polish television TVP that resumed the organization of the festival With the old name of Sopot. In 2009, Putin proposed to restart interviewthis time between Russia, China and the countries of Central Asia, mostly members of the Shanghai cooperation organization, although it did not crystallize. Eurovision and rupture with Russia. From his first participation in Eurovision in 1994, Russia became one of the most competitive nations of the contest, although achieving its only victory in 2008 with Dima Bilan. However, Kremlin’s rejection of the evolution of the festival, where messages of diversity and visibility LGBTQ+ have won prominence, led to great tensions. Conchita Wursst’s victory in 2014 marked a breakdown: while Europe celebrated its inclusion message, In Russia the reaction was outragedwith Putin and his allies condemning the “moral degeneration” of the contest. As we said, the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 sealed the definitive exclusion of Russia, which has now promoted the search for its own alternative. The “new” interview. The Guardian told this week That unlike the current Eurovision, which celebrates diversity and inclusion, this “remake” interview will adopt a conservative approach. Planning documents have revealed that Artists must respect “traditional spiritual and family values” and avoid any political content or “humiliate the honor and dignity of society.” In fact, Russian officials have affirmed that the contest will serve to promote “real music”, as opposed to what they consider “false” Western influences. International support and doubts. Apparently, Putin has discussed the initiative with Xi Jinping, receiving the support of Chinawhich suggests that the program could become an emblematic event for the geopolitical alliances of Russia. That said, doubts persist about its success, since Moscow has failed in previous initiatives to replace Western events, Like friendship gameswhich sought to rival the Olympic Games. In a world where entertainment is a weapon of mass influence, Putin’s commitment to a festival with its own seal is a declaration of intentions: Russia not only wants to challenge the West in the military and geopolitical field, but also in the cultural. That Eurovision is prepared. Image | Flowcomm, Serge Serebro In Xataka | Film rooms are becoming “show rooms” of all kinds.

MIT has measured for the first time the geometry of electrons in the quantum world

by

The paths of quantum physics are inscrutable. In my opinion this appointment of Richard FeynmanNobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to quantum electrodynamics and one of the most admired scientists of the twentieth century, condenses very well The complexity of this discipline: “If you think you understand quantum physics, you don’t really understand quantum physics.” Quantum mechanics study the laws that govern The world of the very smallof the particles, as well as the interactions to which the atomic and subatomic structures are exposed. Most of these rules are radically different from the laws we have become familiar with in the world in which we live. In the macroscopic world. Many physicists have spent the last century trying to understand how known quantum phenomena work, and also striving to identify unknown quantum rules. The problem is that working with the extremely small, with the particles, is very difficult. However, this does not mean that they are not successful. He Mit (Massachusetts Technological Institute) has just been a bit very important. Physicists now better understand the quantum properties of the materials A group of MIT researchers has managed to measure accurately at the quantum level the geometry of electrons in solid materials. Expressed in this way it does not seem much, but it is a very relevant discovery. Until now, physicists had managed to measure the energy and speed acquired by these elementary particles in crystalline materials, but not their geometry at the quantum level. According to Riccardo CominProfessor of Physics at the MIT and leader of this research, “this discovery allows us to understand and manipulate the quantum properties of the materials.” Quantum geometry allows physicists to determine the geometric characteristics of the wave function Before moving forward we are interested in briefly investigating the concept of ‘quantum geometry’ to be able to understand with some precision what we are talking about. Its purpose is to describe the structure of a quantum system such as the forming, for example, by The interaction of electrons In a solid material. In practice this knowledge serves to elaborate a map that describes the probability of finding an electron in a given position. Rigorously this “map” is known as wave function. However, this is not all. Quantum geometry also allows physicists to determine the geometric characteristics of the wave function. This simply means that with this information you can know how precisely the electrons behave in a material and to what extent their properties condition. Quantum geometry helps scientists, in short, to predict the behavior of materials and design new elements or combinations of elements that can be used in aeronautics, Quantum computing or robotics, among many other disciplines. Riccardo Comin assures that “in essence we have done is to develop a plan to obtain completely new information (about the materials) that until now could not be collected.” And Mingu Kang, another of the physicists who have signed the article published in Nature Physics, duck That “this knowledge It can be applied to any type of quantum material“. The technique that these scientists have used to develop their strategy is known as photo emission spectroscopy resolved at an angle. In broad strokes it is an experimental procedure that serves to study the electronic structure of materials in a thorough way and know their fundamental properties.

For the first time in decades, the United States has just approved a new analgesic does not opioid

by

Analgesics usually appear among the most consumed drugs in Spain and other countries in the world. These medications aimed at relieving pain also have a somewhat darker side if we look at countries like the United States, plunged into an entire epidemic of opioid addiction. Good of the FDA. Now, the US agency in charge of regulating drugs in the country, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), announced yesterday the approval of A new drug In the country. It is an analgesic not opioid, the first to reach the US in decades. We still have information about its hypothetical arrival in Europe. The drug is focused on the treatment of pain between moderate and severe in adult patients, according to explained in a press release the agency responsible for its approval. A curious detail indicated by the agency is that those who undergo this treatment must avoid grapefruit, something relatively common With certain treatments. “Approval (…) is an important achievement in public health in acute pain management,” indicated in the same note Jacqueline Corrigan-Curay, Director of the Center for the Evaluation and Research of Medicines of the FDA. “A new therapeutic class of non -opioid analgesics for acute pain offers an opportunity to mitigate certain risks associated with the use of opioids (…) and provides patients with another option.” Suzetrigine This is suzetrigine (Suzetrigine), which will be marketed in 50 mg pills for oral administration under the name Journavx. The new drug has been developed by the company Vertex Pharmaceuticals. It is administered in several doses: an initial of 100 mg and successive doses of 50 mg every 12 hours, dosage calculated through the clinical trials that gave rise to their approval. Essays that also indicated that, even though an effective compound, the new analgesic has a moderate pain reduction effect. “It is not a mate in effectiveness,” explained in statements collected by AP Michael Schuh, from the Mayo Clinic, who was not involved in the development of the drug. “But it is a mate in the fact that it is a very different route and mechanism of action. That’s why I think it shows a great promise. ” How do you know where it hurts? Suzetrigine works in our body focusing on sodium channels which exercise as a way in the pain signaling system of the peripheral nervous system. This is a different route from that used by other analgesics such as opioids, which act in the area of ​​the brain that processes pain. The new drug hinders the arrival of the signal to the brain. More than a quarter of a century later. According to Explain the US chain CNNthis is the first analgesic approved since 1998, the year in which the agency approved Celebrex (Celecoxib), an anti-inflammatory non-steroid inhibitor of the COX-2, an enzyme responsible for accelerating the formation of substances that cause in our body inflammation and pain. Investor interest.
