Obliquity is characteristic of systems that are complex, imperfectly understood, and change their nature as we engage with them.

Be region malaria elimination or global malaria eradication, one of the giant steps is ensuring that we are not part of the problem itself and this can be largely achieved by taking "human behavior/compliance" out of the "malaria fight equation".

Bost keeps working very active on several innovation programs promoted by the Basque Government (Eusko Jaurlaritza - Gobierno Vasco) & Grupo SPRI every year. The different #Hazitek programs presented recently are a good example of this:   2023  C-ARDATZ C-ARDATZ has been a very challenging research project, which has helped us to obtain an efficient solution for a RAM built in C axis while integrating a carbon fiber aspiration system inside the RAM at the same time. 👩‍🚀 🚀 Aerospace   2023  ELIBAL Elibal is focused on developing new technologies for increasing accelerations on a 5 axes hydrostatic vertical lathe with the aim of achieving higher chip removals and outstanding surface quality during orbital turning. 🌋 Oil & Gas   2024  AIRERATU Our engineers are working on Aireratu developing new technologies to perform measurements, dimensional corrections and finishing operations in an automated manner, to improve the production process and reduce errors in very high precision parts. ✈️Aviation   2024  CVOL +10 CVOL +10 is focused on optimizing the design of Vertical Lathes with a turning diameter bigger than 10.000 mm in order to keep ultra accurate tolerances on these XXL machines using automatic correction of 21 geometric errors by means of volumetric compensation. 🎆 Nuclear   This year we are also applying for Fast Track #INNOBIDEAK, a new program of the Basque Government, which has been created to accelerate the development of innovation projects that promote the competitiveness, specialization and diversification of Basque industrial SMEs and services related to the industry. Bost Machine Tools Company S.L.U. is obtaining the following targets through this new research program, increasing productivity of up to 45% for the machine user through: •      Increased cutting conditions by 15-20% more compared to the previous tool design. •      Increase in tool life of up to 30%. •      Reduction in tool costs. •      Reliability and stability of the coolant equipment and aspiration system. #Bost2030 #PremiumVTLs #Hydrostatic #Hightech #Precision #Accuracy #Reliability #iBost #Trust #Confidence #Windmill #Hydro #Nuclear #Aerospace #Mining #OilandGas #Defense #HeavyEngineering #Automation

PLOCAN Citizen Science Freediving Project to Study Tajogaite Volcano's Marine Impact. The Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN) has initiated a pioneering project for marine exploration and biological monitoring. This project utilizes citizen science and freediving to study the underwater ecosystems around the lava deltas formed by the Tajogaite volcano eruption in La Palma. Today and tomorrow (July 20-21), a groundbreaking campaign is taking place to create a comprehensive inventory of the area's biodiversity and compile an audiovisual catalog of ecosystems affected by the volcanic eruption. The project, named DELTA, represents a significant step forward in collaborative marine research and conservation efforts. "Our goal is to create a species list and estimate their relative abundance in the area to achieve a comprehensive biodiversity inventory," explained Joaquín Hernández, director of PLOCAN. He emphasized the critical role of citizen participation and the need to contribute to the area's sustainability through science-based economic activity. The campaign brings together a diverse team of 12 expert freedivers and species identification specialists, many of whom are passionate citizens collaborating with PLOCAN's scientific team. Equipped with high-resolution underwater cameras, these divers will explore four distinct areas near the lava deltas, as well as the Don Pedro islets as a control point. Miguel Ángel Morcuende, General Director of Natural Spaces and Biodiversity at the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Energy, which co-funds the DELTA project alongside the State Secretariat for the Environment, highlighted the importance of this initiative. "This information will not only enrich scientific knowledge but will also serve as a foundation for future marine resource conservation and sustainable management policies," Morcuende stated. The use of freediving techniques allows for non-invasive observation and documentation of marine life, crucial for studying sensitive environments like those recently formed by volcanic activity. This approach minimizes ecosystem impact while maximizing data collection efficiency. PLOCAN's pioneering approach establishes a model for upcoming citizen science initiatives in ocean conservation on the island. By combining professional expertise with community engagement, the project fosters greater environmental awareness among the local population, while advancing the scientific understanding of post-eruption marine ecosystem recovery. As the DELTA project progresses, it not only signifies a significant advancement in marine research in the Canary Islands but also strengthens PLOCAN's dedication to scientific excellence and community involvement in ocean conservation. The information gathered during this campaign will be crucial in shaping future conservation strategies and sustainable resource management in the region's distinct volcanic marine environments.

Part 2 of the Lighthouse Reports investigation in collaboration with El Pais, Unbias The News and Financial Times ran last week, leading with people, not numbers. A deep dive into the failure of Spain’s degree recognition program exposes why migrant doctors are blocked from working in their specialised fields despite Spain’s looming doctor shortage. https://lnkd.in/gVvmM8Ft A character-driven explainer in Sweden describes a sweeping failure to integrate migrants with advanced degrees into the professional workforce. https://lnkd.in/ga6vtKeT If Part 1 utilized startling visualizations and huge numbers to convey the sheer scale and scope of brain waste across Europe in the Financial Times explainer and the El Pais expose, Round 2 stories intentionally tell quieter, more nuanced stories. For Part 2, I’m sharing some reflections on centering the stories of impacted communities. This was the starting point for our approach. “We are not doing nearly enough narratives — we are seeing data used as an end in itself, rather than a jumping-off point for strong journalism,” said Sarah Cohen. “I’m a judge [for data journalism awards,] and I can tell you we throw out 90% of the submissions because they are great data exercises, but not great journalism. We get to do both — but if we forget to do the part that we’re good at as journalists, then what’s the point?” https://lnkd.in/g3taHxPQ The first thing we learned was we needed data-savvy journalists who are great storytellers for a data story to become strong journalism. With Beatriz Ramalho da Silva from the Lighthouse Team and Justin Yarga, a data journalist from Burkina Faso living in Sweden reporting for Unbias The News, we had a lead reporters passionate about both finding the nuances in the data and the characters who are most representative of the trends surfaced by the data. Trust was essential for the characters featured in the story to share their experiences.  Reporters went through the data findings with everyone in the story to help them both understand that they would not be exploited for a sensationalist headline and they are emblematic of the multiple barriers locking migrants out of good jobs. Our team believed that if the reader feels emotionally invested in the characters, they will make it through the complexities of the story. Exhaustive storyboarding ensured a smooth narrative flow as we transitioned from the stories of victims of brain waste, to the data findings they represent, to the experts who explained the structural barriers behind the lived experiences and data. The storyboarding also served as a strategy to get buy-in from busy editors skeptical of their audience's appetite for a long-form piece on the migrant experience.
