Roman dam of Almonacid de la Cuba (Zaragoza. Aragon. Spain) Impressive video of the Roman dam of Almonacid de la Cuba, the highest of antiquity that still stands. Built more than two thousand years ago, this work of engineering continues to bear witness to Roman genius and its deep understanding of water management. The video shows how the Aguasvivas River has an impressive flow after the recent Isolated Depression at High Levels (DANA) that has affected our region. This meteorological phenomenon has caused intense rains and significant floods in several rivers in Spain. The DANA is a phenomenon in which a mass of very cold polar air is isolated and begins to circulate at very high altitudes (between 5,000 and 9,000 meters), far from the influence of atmospheric circulation. Then, as it collides with the warmer, more humid air typically found in the Mediterranean Sea, it creates severe storms, particularly in late summer and early autumn when sea temperatures are highest. “It creates an intensely unstable environment, and that’s where the air rises. It very quickly allows storm clouds to really take flight, aided and abetted by winds hitting higher ground and also rising. And the higher the storm clouds are, the more moisture there is in them,” explained BBC meteorologist Matt Taylor.

AI is all the buzz 🐝 and possibly the most misunderstood. Its about learning, reasoning & decision making, problem solving, and perception. Artificial Intelligence is the conglomerate of capabilities of machines or computers to exhibit intelligence that involves a range of technologies to perceive, reason, act, and learn similarly to humans. AI systems are designed to recognize and interpret their environment, make decisions, tackle complex challenges, learn from the past, and mimic behavioral patterns. But one thing should be abundantly clear, and yet seldom talked about, it is nothing — and can’t do anything— without #DATA‼️ 🧠In the knowledge economy (as with AI) DATA IS KING. Gracias Felipe Castro Quiles y GENIA Latinoamérica for bringing this to the forefront. Seguimos… #ShareIfYouAgree

Another great episode of the El Orden Mundial podcast. I enjoyed it from start to finish. https://lnkd.in/dWmC9BuE The digitalization and rise of new technologies in the classroom are transforming the educational landscape. Countries like Singapore have introduced programming courses into their curriculum, but it's crucial to emphasize transversality. Technology should enhance the quality of education, complementing other activities. However, increased technology doesn't mean effective use. Providing every student with a tablet doesn't ensure they know how to use it well. We must differentiate between what's fashionable and what's practical. The introduction of tools that facilitate learning, such as digital whiteboards, will become increasingly common. However, there are challenges to address, such as cognitive qualities. It is becoming increasingly difficult for students to read long texts without distractions. Digital education, critical thinking, and the ability to discern are crucial skills to cultivate. While students may have a great knowledge of technology, they often lack the knowledge to discern. It is essential to find the right balance between critical thinking and not trusting anything, guiding students through the process of verifying information. As AI continues to advance, we must develop teaching methods that do not fight against these tools but rather incorporate them. For example, evaluating how students interact with AI in a debate or confronting AI as a judge can be valuable exercises. A solid base of knowledge is necessary to have arguments and general, interdisciplinary knowledge to tackle difficult questions. The purpose of education itself must be re-evaluated. Should the education system cater to the needs of the labor market, or should it focus on forming individuals? A combination of both is necessary, providing students with universal knowledge, ethics, and critical thinking skills, as well as technical knowledge adapted to the labor market. It is important to recognize that some careers, such as literature and philosophy, do not need to be useful, practical, or productive, but they are still necessary. The concept of hyperspecialization, as discussed by Byung-Chul Han in his work "The Burnout Society," risks creating performance machines - workers who are useful for specific companies and functions but lack broader capabilities. The flexibility offered by degree programs in the United States, which foster a more holistic view and a pure love for knowledge, should be considered. In Europe, knowledge is often understood in a more compartmentalized and rigid manner, with a clear division between sciences and humanities. The future of education lies in finding the right balance between integrating technology, cultivating critical thinking skills, and providing a well-rounded education that prepares students for both the labor market and life as engaged citizens.

WHAT A BIG MESSAGE TO THE SPACE SECTOR! 🌌 Humanities shouldn’t just stay on Earth, we need to take them to the SPACE too. 🚀 Why choose between science and poetry? Let’s take both into the future! As a researcher on lunar platforms, I’ve learned that it’s not just about technology — we need our stories, our humanity, to build something sustainable in space. More poetry on the Moon, more math in art, and more humanity in our stellar missions. 🌕✨ #Space #Moon #Humanities #ImpactfulFuture

The #Paleomagnetism laboratory of #CCiTUB and Geociencias Barcelona - CSIC (GEO3BCN-CSIC) is contributing to two magnetostratographic studies, led by researchers from the University of Barcelona, ​​to study the tectonosedimentary evolution of the South Pyrenean foreland basin during the #Paleogene. The laboratory has participated in the demagnetization and measurement of the remaining magnetization of nearly 800 samples obtained in the Conca d'Àger and the Ripoll syncline. The results obtained have made it possible to establish a new chronology for these basins and a solid correlation between them. The information has been synthesized in a series of palaeogeographic maps that show the evolution of the South Pyrenean basin between the Paleocene and the lower Eocene.

If you think physical cards/passes (for loyalty programs, credit, membership, events, travel, etc) are useful, then digital cards should interest you even more. Here’s a short but concise article on why, written by one of my colleagues at Delonia Software . (There is an English version of the article for those who are not fluent in Spanish) If you are interested in how a digital card can specifically benefit your business or how to develop one for it, send me a message.

📄In my latest piece, I explore how Generative AI (GenAI) can enhance the three key capabilities that define strategic agility: strategic sensitivity, leadership unity, and resource fluidity. For instance, GenAI can: • Analyze vast datasets to identify trends and insights • Streamline communication by summarizing meeting notes and assigning tasks • Simulate scenarios to optimize resource allocation While strategic agility may not suit every single organization, in today’s fast-paced world, many are realizing the need to increase their agility and responsiveness. If you’re curious about how these tools can transform your approach, check out my full article (in Spanish) here: https://lnkd.in/dFkECuQa
