New data from ongoing study showed increased antibody response against Beta, Delta, Alpha and Gamma variants after a third booster dose with Vaxzevria Positive results from a preliminary analysis of an ongoing safety and immunogenicity study (D7220C00001) showed that Vaxzevria (ChAdOx1-S [Recombinant]), AstraZeneca's vaccine, increased the immune response to Beta, Delta, Alpha and Gamma variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus when applied as a third booster dose, while a separate analysis of samples taken from the study showed a greater antibody response against the Omicron variant. The results were observed among individuals previously vaccinated with Vaxzevria or an mRNA vaccine. Another phase IV study, published in a preprint of The Lancet, showed that a third dose of Vaxzevria substantially increased antibody levels after a series of primary vaccinations with CoronaVac (Sinovac Biotech). Sir Mene Pangalos, Executive Vice President of Research and Development (R&D) at Biopharmaceuticals at AstraZeneca, said: “Vaxzevria has protected hundreds of millions of people against COVID-19 around the world and these data show that it has an important role to play as third booster dose, even if other brand vaccines have been given before. Given the continuing urgency of the pandemic and Vaxzevria's heightened immune response against the Omicron variant, we will continue to file regulatory applications worldwide for its use as a third booster dose." Professor Sir Andrew J Pollard, Principal Investigator and Director of the Oxford Vaccine Group at the University of Oxford, said: "These important studies show that a third dose of Vaxzevria after two initial doses of the same vaccine, or after mRNA vaccines or inactivated, strongly improves immunity against COVID-19. The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is suitable as an option to improve the immunity of po[CENSORED]tions in countries that are considering booster programs, thus adding to the protection that had already been demonstrated with the first two doses. The safety and immunogenicity study D7220C00001 showed that Vaxzevria continued to be generally well tolerated. Additional analyzes of the study are expected to be available during the first half of 2022. Previous studies support Vaxzevria as a third booster dose as part of a homologous or heterologous schedule. In a subanalysis of studies COV001 and COV002, a third dose of Vaxzevria applied at least six months after a second dose significantly increased antibody levels and sustained T-cell response. It also resulted in greater neutralizing activity against variants. Alpha, Beta, and Delta, compared to a two-dose schedule. The COV-BOOST study also showed that a third booster dose of Vaxzevria elicited significantly higher immune responses compared to controls against the Delta variant and parent strain after primary vaccination with Vaxzevria or Pfizer BioNtech (BNT162b2).

The US has spread complete misinformation about Russia's alleged "provocation" to invade Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday after talks with his Croatian counterpart Gordan Grlic Radman. "US officials have also commented on the very issue of the so-called invasion of Ukraine, in particular spreading complete disinformation that we are preparing a provocation with an attack on the Russian-speaking po[CENSORED]tion in Donbass to get a pretext for such an invasion," he said. Lavrov. The senior official pointed out that what happened in Ukraine in 2014 was not the result of a Russian provocation, but of a coup "supported and even organized to a great extent" by Washington. "Today Ukraine is definitely under US external control," he added. Moscow has repeatedly dismissed accusations of an alleged invasion of Ukraine. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitri Peskov said that Russia does not consider an invasion of the neighboring country as a possible option. "No one is threatening anyone with military action. It would be crazy to do that," the spokesman said. Likewise, Peskov denounced "a gradual NATO invasion of Ukrainian territory" and explained that the deployment of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine is due to "a very tense situation, a hostile atmosphere created by various NATO exercises , NATO fighters and spy planes, the advancement of NATO infrastructure to the borders". Concerns about a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine have intensified in the West after several media outlets published alleged plans for the operation in November. Thus, according to a publication by Bloomberg, Moscow anticipates the participation of 100,000 Russian soldiers, half of whom, according to agency sources, have already occupied their positions. In response, on December 9 the chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General Valery Gerasimov, during a briefing called media reports of an alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine "false".

28 years after his death, he knows the productions that have been made about the life of the Colombian drug trafficker Pablo Escobar. This Thursday, December 2, marks the 28th anniversary of the death of Pablo Escobar, one of the richest drug traffickers and criminals in history. The also politician, who died at age 44 from a gunshot wound, was the founder and top leader of the Medellín Cartel. To capture him, and later assassinate him, the Government of Colombia formed the so-called Search Block, a group that tracked him down during 17 months of intense investigation.

In the following lines, we tell you the series that have been inspired by the famous drug dealer. Who was Pablo Escobar? Pablo Escobar was born on December 1, 1949 in the city of Medellín, Colombia. He began his criminal life in the late 1960s, specifically with smuggling. However, in the 1980s he became involved in the production and marketing of marijuana and cocaine abroad. After that, he founded the Medellín Cartel, an organization that, at its peak, monopolized the cocaine business in the world from its production to its consumption. In addition, it controlled more than 80% of the world production of this drug and 60% of the illicit market of the same in the United States. Pablo Escobar was charged with criminal charges such as drug trafficking, money laundering, murder, terrorism, bribery, smuggling, extortion, and political corruption. His death came on December 2, 1993, when he was found in a house in the Los Olivos neighborhood, a middle-class area of Medellín. When discovered by the intelligence units, he tried to escape through the roofs of the neighboring houses, but was killed, while escaping, from a shot to the heart.

In 1985, Josep Tarradellas already starred in one of the debates of the Club Siglo XXI in Madrid. And last night Pere Aragonès made his debut in this veteran forum for political dialogue in the capital of Spain, recalling that all his predecessors in the presidency of the Generalitat came to Madrid warning about the situation in Catalonia. Aragonès warned that today the majority option is to constitute "an independent Catalan republic." After being presented by former mayor Manuela Carmena as “a man of dialogue”, and in the presence of the Government spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, in addition to the Minister of Universities, Joan Subirats, Aragonès defined his ideological identity signs: “I am a pro-independence, republican and left ”. And the main message he launched was the demand to Pedro Sánchez that he dares to give the floor to the Catalan citizens in a referendum, and that he does not hide behind the fear that his only alternative is a government of the right and the extreme right in Spain to delay the solution to the political conflict in Catalonia. "We need a democratic transformation that takes place in Catalonia and Spain out of respect for the majority will of the Catalan citizenry to decide the political future of our country in a peaceful and democratic way," he claimed. Aragonès regretted "the inability" that the State has shown to date to allow and facilitate this majority demand that he attributed to Catalan society, in the Scottish way, "being creative and imaginative to find the formula to make the referendum possible." "The opportunity is now and we must seize it," claims the Republican leader to the Spanish left “The referendum is necessary. And the State, which defends that Catalonia continues to be part of Spain, must dare to win democratically. The imposition will not lead to any victory. Dare to win and also dare to lose, "he said. “I, as president of the Generalitat de Catalunya, dare. I dare to let the Catalan citizens decide, with all the conviction that our option will win ”, he affirmed. Aragonès did not want to focus the debate on the date of a new meeting of the dialogue table between the Government and the Generalitat, but rather on proposing proposals to advance the negotiation. "There is no state proposal on the table," he lamented. And he reiterated that that of the Generalitat is amnesty and the right of self-determination. He thus urged Sánchez not to "delay" this negotiation or use "excuses for not moving forward." News brought byhttps://www.lavanguardia.com

Scientists estimate that only seven to eight specimens of the marine mammal remain. The inaction of the Mexican authorities against illegal fishing in its refuge area condemns it to extinction A vaquita porpoise in the waters of the Upper Gulf of California, in Mexico. https://imagenes.elpais.com/resizer/Fgo43FdrfebmBcmqUvBH-OM0XdE=/1960x0/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com/prisa/QUBBUEHCQBD3ZK3WVOJTAQH76Q.jpg In the dystopian country that sometimes looks like Mexico, a biologist has to go into exile after receiving threats for trying to prevent the extinction of the vaquita, a small cetacean in the Upper Gulf of California. His apparently harmless work collides with the interests of organized crime, whose tentacles reach almost all extractive activities in the country: clandestine logging, mining… and illegal fishing. The vaquita is not the target of criminals, it is just collateral damage, that euphemism called bycatch. What they seek with their predatory nets is the totoaba, a fish whose swim bladder is coveted for its alleged aphrodisiac powers in China, where up to $ 60,000 is paid for it. More than cocaine. "It is a war between illegal fishing and us, who are trying to protect the species," says Diego Ruiz Sabio from his exile. He prefers not to reveal where he went, but it can be said that far. Enough to avoid swelling the lists of murdered environmental defenders in Mexico. Ruiz Sabio continues to be, even in the distance, co-director of the Whale Museum of La Paz, in Baja California Sur. The institution has spent years removing the gillnets used by poachers, in which the vaquita, the most endangered marine mammal on the planet, gets trapped and dies. But in the battle between environmentalists and organized crime, the latter is winning. An observation cruise funded among others by the Whale Museum revealed last December that the vaquitas po[CENSORED]tion continues to plummet. Now it is estimated that there are between seven and eight left, compared to ten in 2019. The drop in porpoise numbers in recent decades has been dramatic, brutal. If in 1997 there were almost 600 vaquitas, in 2016 there were 60. Only a year later, they fell by half. At that time, the Chinese market realized that the totoaba, endemic to the same waters as the vaquita, closely resembled a fish used in its traditional medicine that became extinct due to overexploitation. And it became his perfect substitute. Then began a fierce predation controlled by organized crime that has also put the totoaba in danger of extinction. Last November, during the observation cruise, scientists counted 117 boats illegally fishing in the vaquita's refuge area in a single day, well above the 87 they had seen two years earlier. The question then is where are the authorities. “Without a doubt there is an absolute disinterest in the preservation of this species. They believe that it is easier to let it die out and turn the page ”, laments the biologist. News brought by https://elpais.com

Spy photos taken from the other side of the world show us the small Chevrolet SUV with new features in its body. Will be? https://img.autocosmos.com/noticias/fotosprinc/NAZ_bf153c7d0c904247963408266db884a2.jpg Chevrolet's offer has as one of its protagonists the Tracker, an SUV from Brazil that is also produced in South Korea, from where, for example, it is exported to the United States. In the last hours, spy photos emerged from the Asian country about what could be the new brother of the "truck", which would be aimed at the coupe SUV market. New Chevrolet SUV Coupé: What do we know? The images, released by the American media Burlappcar, show us a prototype that, although it is totally camouflaged, reveals certain lines that highlight it. For example, the drop of the coupe-type roof, which is similar to the one seen in the Volkswagen Nivus. From what was revealed in the South Korean streets, a series of rumors arose about where in the Chevrolet offer the brand new model would be located. Taking into account the range that the brand sells in the United States, the new SUV could be located below the North American Trailblazer. Continuing with the rumor, the new model should have a maximum length of 4.3 meters, similar to that of the Tracker, so it could make use of its platform. Although it is too early to know if this new model will actually reach production, if it does, it could rival the aforementioned Nivus and the brand new FIAT Fastback (in other markets).

"It depends on the actions of the American colleagues," said Russia's deputy foreign minister. The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Riabkov, commented this Thursday during an interview with the RTVI channel on the possibility of deploying Russian military infrastructure in countries outside of Europe, such as Cuba or Venezuela. "I don't want to confirm anything or rule out anything," he pointed out. "In the American way, the optionality of foreign and military policy is the cornerstone to ensure the powerful influence of that country in the world. It depends on the actions of American colleagues," Riabkov said. The senior official recalled that Vladimir Putin has repeatedly spoken about what measures can be taken, for example, in connection with the Russian Navy, "if things go completely in the direction of provoking Russia and further strengthening military pressure" on Moscow. from Washington. "We don't want this, diplomats must come to an agreement," he said. "What are US troops doing thousands of miles from their bases?" According to Riabkov, "Russia is now NATO's main opponent only because it strives to firmly and consistently defend its own interests and cares for their security." Regarding questions from the West about the concentration of Russian troops on its own territory, the deputy foreign minister said he can ask a counter question: "What are US troops doing thousands of kilometers from their bases?" In his opinion, this cannot be explained by alliance security issues, as this security "should not be provided to the detriment of other countries." About security guarantees Speaking on other aspects of foreign policy, Riabkov stated that the US and its NATO allies are not prepared "under any circumstances" to meet Moscow's key demands on security guarantees, such as the non-expansion of the NATO to the east, reducing the infrastructure of the alliance and not deploying its systems in the immediate vicinity of the Russian borders. The Deputy Foreign Minister regretted that the US and NATO are willing to speak only about those issues of security guarantees that are convenient for them. "In key elements of these texts, the US and its allies actually say 'no' to us, and in those that say 'yes, let's continue discussing', we observe that, although these issues are important and serious, they are secondary to the non-expansion of NATO, "he said. "It is, to some extent, a dead end or a difference in approach," Riabkov said. "The Americans want [...] to unburden themselves of the Russian position, relieve the pressure" and, hiding behind this, "continue the same process of geopolitical and military development of more new territories, getting closer and closer to Moscow," said the diplomat. . "We have nowhere to retreat," he said, adding that Russia will take "other measures and methods" in relation to the West if the US and NATO do not heed Russian demands. About Ukraine On the other hand, the high charged stressed that the US is escalating the situation near the Russian borders. In addition, he warned that "there could be any provocation", especially when Russia has "neighbors like present-day Ukraine, which revels in the illusion of revenge, is looking for reasons to finally abandon the implementation of the Minsk package of measures, and that it speculates with the reckless and unbridled support of the West. " "We will not allow anyone to be blamed for the potentially very serious consequences of this. We simply warn that a NATO rollback is needed," he said. News brought by https://actualidad.rt.com/

The Council of Ministers includes up to 368 regulatory proposals in its planning for 2022, among which it does not incorporate the planned revisions of the Penal Code The Government rules out once again facing this year, and perhaps already definitively, a reform of the Penal Code that reduces the penalties imposed for the crimes of rebellion, sedition and insults to the Crown. This has been confirmed this Tuesday by the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, after the Council of Ministers today approved its regulatory plan for this year 2022, which does not contemplate addressing the aforementioned legislative reforms. The President of the Government himself, Pedro Sánchez, wanted to accelerate the project to reduce the crime of sedition, for which the procés pro-independence leaders were already pardoned, and incorporated it at the last minute in the Executive's regulatory planning before it concluded the year 2020. However, the initiative was put on hold, according to the Government, due to the absence of a parliamentary majority to support said project. The reform of sedition has already been left out of the regulatory plan for 2021, and now also for 2022. The Minister of the Presidency has justified that the new calendar and regulatory plan approved today in the first Council of Ministers of the year - and that includes up to 368 legislative proposals to be approved during 2022, around one per day throughout the year - establishes the “priorities” of the Government for this second half of the legislature, among which the fundamental objective is the consolidation of economic growth, the reinforcement of the welfare state and the expansion of rights and freedoms. “2022 is considered a very important year for the economic recovery of the country. We are tackling a challenge that has historical significance, which is to carry out a second economic modernization of our country, ”explained Bolaños. "And as we are a progressive and social democratic government, comparable with any European government, we want to continue deepening the advancement of rights and freedoms, to improve people's lives. These are the priorities ”, said the minister. And these priorities, according to Bolaños' argument, imply that there are regulations that are aligned with these strategic axes and that are incorporated into the 2022 regulatory plan. "And other regulations are not in the annual regulatory plan, for example the reform of the Penal Code ”, Has settled the Minister of the Presidency. News brought by https://www.lavanguardia.com/

The Administration is now looking for a suitable home for this 25-year-old equine https://imagenes.elpais.com/resizer/jLrof7xnYdog16VhnkvpXLJr7Z8=/1960x0/filters:focal(1750x2398:1760x2408)/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com/prisa/OCHNRTGXQVCEDJYSDDTPVHMSKA.jpg Syrup is neither small, nor furry, nor soft. In fact, it is not even a donkey. Of course, the metaphor with Juan Ramón Jiménez's donkey is strictly fulfilled in the jet mirrors that it has for its eyes and the tenderness that the old horse awakens when following the workers of the Institut Català del Sòl (Incasòl) around the castle of Mogoda. ) in charge of taking care of the property. And now him too, until the Administration finds him a suitable home. The Incasòl is prepared to act as the main public landlord in Catalonia, monitor urban plans or facilitate business landing in industrial estates. But not to care for animals. Since last June, however, he has been the custodian of a 25-year-old horse named Almíbar. He was found during an eviction from a rustic piece of land in Can Vila, in Mollet, within the Sierra de Galliners park. The lawyer in charge of the investigation called the institute to ask for instructions. "Material goods go to the Patrimony of the Generalitat but nowhere does it say what to do with an animal", explains Carles Moliner, chief of staff of the entity. The first thing was to take him to a safer place than the post where he was tied, in the open, next to a barrack and an orchard that its occupant visited on weekends. Toni Pérez, the castle's butler, and José Luis Sánchez, maintenance manager, went after the animal. "The owner showed us the horse's license and told us that he had made the Rocío pilgrimage," Sánchez recalls as he gives her feed in a metal bucket. They tied him up and, walking along the entire side of the C-17, took him to his new temporary home. “We had no idea what to do with a horse. A colleague who knew about the subject helped us while the vet came, ”Sánchez continues. "He was not malnourished, but it was necessary to fix his hooves, teeth and vaccinate him," he adds. The first thing was to buy him a real halter, not the one made with ropes and knots with which they found him. Now they have their block of salt, an automatic water dispenser and 4.3 hectares to wander. His home, for the moment, is the stables used by the Marquis de Comillas (owner of the Castle before it was taken over by the Generalitat in the 1980s) when he spent the summer. Syrup feels at home: he sees an open door and does not hesitate to lean out. He lets himself be loved and watches as if he knows that he is being talked about. The years are noticeable - the average life of a horse is around 30 years - but his height and bearing reveal a splendid past on the journey through Doñana. Both workers are heartbroken. They love the equine but they know that it cannot stay in the castle. A judge determined that the Incasòl is the custodian of the horse and will become its owner when, in the absence of the owner, the cost of maintenance is exceeded what it would be worth. Something that will possibly happen soon. An appraisal of the animal has not been done, but the entity already spends about 80 euros a month to take care of it, including civil liability insurance. "He's finished with all the figs, pears and medlars," says Pérez. Almíbar likes company. He enters the building and looks curiously at the lollipops they eat in one of the rooms. These days the pace in the castle is frenetic, as they are working to turn it into a center for academic events and headquarters for urban planning and environmental research groups. The horse poses for photos. And he approaches so that his caretakers caress his mane and back, so arched that he could hardly bear to be ridden by a child. "The ideal destination would be an equestrian show that has a social project in line with the age of the horse," explains Mercè Conesa, director of the entity. The Institute, likewise, will have to continue responding for the maintenance of Syrup. José Luis and Toni change their gestures when they are reminded that the day of goodbye will arrive. The only thing they hope is that wherever you go they will give you a lot of love. Until the day that, like Platero, his belly swells like the world and his stiff legs rise to the sky.

The Vision-S 02 is the seven-seater evolution of the Vision-S 01 sedan unveiled at CES 2020. With this, Sony takes the first step into its dedicated Sony Mobility division. In 2020, before the entire COVID-19 pandemic broke out, we were seeing a change in the operation of trade shows and fairs globally. One of the most attractive stops for the automotive world has been CES, the quintessential fair for gadgets, innovation and consumer electronics. As today, cars are more and more connected and CES continues to be highly valued. And because of the downfall of traditional salons, car brands are going there. But that has also been to mark territory before other actors who are eager to get into the automotive world. One of those brands has been Sony, which in 2020 beat all technology companies (including Apple) in presenting its own car, the Vision-S 01, developed together with different companies from the motor world. It is not that Sony is now going to transform into a car brand, but they want to show their capabilities and their level of integration. It seems that this 2022 the appetite is being greater since after the successful tests of the Vision-S 01 and its good reception, the Japanese brand is unveiling a second format of this model, the Vision-S 02, a seven-seater SUV, very similar to what the Volkswagen ID.5 or the Tesla Model X may be, but built on the same basis as its sedan brother. Not only that, Sony has also inaugurated its Sony Mobility division, which will be in charge of managing these projects. Sony Vision-S 02: Dimensions and design Length: 4.8 m Width: 1.9 m Height: 1.6 m Between axles: 3.03 m Clearance: 15 cm Weight: 2,480 kg This model maintains its length and its wheelbase with the sedan. It is marginally wider, taller, and obviously heavier. Its design is completely derived from the 01, in addition to being somewhat generic, but it stands out more when we see both models together as a family. In fact, the doors are similar, the design of the almond lights, joined by an LED line that ends in the Sony Mobility logo, the lower air intake, the side air curtains, the hood fold and the black roof. the 20 "wheels are different and feature an aerodynamic cover. At the back, the skull design is retained in an extended LED format that mimics the front graphics. Sony Vision-S 02: Inside The interior is exactly the same as the Sony Vision-S 01, except for its capacity for seven occupants. Everything is dominated by a huge digital panel along the entire dash, which houses five screens: two of these for the rear-view mirrors and the other three for the instrument panel and the multimedia system. Adding up the display in the center console, a secondary display for the second-row climate controls, and additional displays for the rear passengers, for a total of nine high-resolution displays. Like its sedan brother, the compendium of electronic devices is very sophisticated. Are included: About 33 sensors both outside and inside, including lidar, radar, and CMOS image processors. Some of these are already being used in production cars. Time of Flight (ToF) sensor: it works like an infrared sonar that allows obtaining a 3D scan and identifying, in the case of the Vision S, how many occupants are in the car, recognizing them and giving them specific information, or setting the car safety according to their behavior, such as head position and sight to see if they are focused on the road. 360-degree audio system (360 Reality Audio) Bravia Core for Vision-S streaming system with 5G operation PlayStation games can be played remotely or in the cloud, by connecting to a console that you have activated at home Remote control: Sony has already carried out remote control tests between plants in Japan and Germany, with a 5G signal. It is also working with its partners to achieve a low latency transmission in terms of video and commands, as well as monitoring and prediction, supported by the telematics system of the Vision-S platform. Sony Vision-S 02: Powertrain Since the platform is the same as the 01, the powertrain is similar. In other words, it has the same double wishbone scheme on all wheels with air suspension and two electric motors on each axle, where both produce 200 kW (268 Hp). The speed exceeds 180 km / h but does not reach the 240 km / h of the sedan, because of the added weight and because the sedan is much more aerodynamic.

Taking advantage of the good work of its pitchers, Caribes de Anzoátegui beat Cardenales de Lara 5-2 this Tuesday to sweep the series in Barquisimeto and thus secure two of the four commitments they will play in this decisive week. The victory allows "the tribe" to put its record at 8-4 and stay alone with the first place, one game behind the Cardinals (7-5) and Magellan. The Cardinals took the lead in the third inning with a Ramón Flores brace against starter Mayckol Guaipe. However, the Caribes immediately - at the top of the quarter - went up 2-1 with a single by season MVP Balbino Fuenmayor. The Red Birds tied the action in the fifth with a single by Pedro Castillo. But again they received a resounding response. In the seventh Rafael “Balita” Ortega drove in two with a triple and Asdrúbal Cabrera added one more with a line to put definitive numbers on the commitment. Jean Toledo (1-0) was left with the victory after completing a perfect relay of one and a third inning. Esteban Haro scored the rescue and Luis Madero (1-1) charged with the backhand after allowing three runs in just two-thirds of the work. News brought by https://ultimasnoticias.com.ve/

A team of surgeons from the University of Maryland performs the groundbreaking eight-hour operation on a 57-year-old patient with heart disease It is a milestone for medicine. US surgeons transplanted the heart of a genetically modified pig into a human patient with terminal heart disease last Friday. David Bennett, 57, had run out of options for a regular transplant due to his conditions and the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, USA, decided to perform the extraordinary procedure for "compassionate reasons." Three days after the operation, the recipient is in good condition and under medical surveillance. The intervention opens new hope for all patients suffering from the dramatic shortage of human organs available for transplantation, reports El País. Bennett knew there was no guarantee that the experimental surgery would work, his son told the Associated Press. “It was either dying or doing this transplant. He wanted to live. I knew there were few possibilities but it was my last option, "Bennett said a day before surgery, according to the statement released by the University of Maryland. Although it is too early to know if the procedure will prolong the life of the patient, it is undoubtedly an enormous advance in the long quest to one day be able to transplant organs of animal origin and save human lives. Faculty at the University of Maryland Medical Center noted that the operation demonstrated that the heart of a genetically modified animal can function in the human body without immediate rejection. The operation, which lasted eight hours, was carried out successfully last Friday. According to the institution, the transplant of a pig heart "was the only option available to the patient," since several hospitals had ruled out the possibility of a conventional transplant. "If it works, then there will be an inexhaustible supply of these organs for suffering patients," said Dr. Muhammad Mohiuddin, scientific director of the university's xenotransplantation (from animals to humans) program. The problem in this type of operation is that the body of the patients quickly rejects the animal organs. One of the best known cases was recorded in 1984, when the baby known as Fae, a dying girl, survived 21 days with the heart of a baboon. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the operation of Bennett on New Year's Eve, who had been bedridden for months and was informed of the risks of the intervention, when treated of an experimental technique. “It has been a revolutionary operation and brings us one step closer to solving the organ shortage crisis. There are not enough human donor hearts available to meet the long list of potential recipients, ”said Bartley Griffith, doctor in charge of this surgical procedure.

The accumulated variation of the inflationary indicator for 2021 was four times less than that of the previous year, according to figures from the Central Bank. The Venezuelan economy shows a new behavior with respect to the National Consumer Price Index (INPC), registering —for the fourth consecutive month— inflation below two digits. In addition, the figures for 2021 prove that the hyperinflationary crisis has come to an end, with monthly indicators below 50%. In the most recent report of the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) on the INPC it is detailed that, in December 2021, inflation stood at 7.6%, 0.8% less than that of November of the same year, which it closed at 8.4%. In addition, the figure was 69.9 percentage points, lower than the same period in 2020, when it was set at 77.5%. The four-month streak began in September 2021, when inflation hit 7.1%. Then, in October it was 6.8%, the lowest of the whole year. According to the monthly data released by the BCV, the month that marked the highest level of inflation in 2021 was January, with 46.6%. Since then, the index has gradually decelerated, with some monthly peaks not exceeding 35%. The highest increases during the year, apart from January, were registered in February (33.8%), April (24.6%), May (28.5%) and August (19.8%). The other months marked the following figures: March, 16.1%; June, 15.7%; and July 16.7%. The behavior of the INPC also shows that the hyperinflationary crisis - a phenomenon characterized by monthly inflation above 50% and sustained over time, at least for a year - has come to an end. Annual inflation decline Regarding the accumulated annual variations of the INPC, the percentage of 2021 closed at 686.4%, four times less than that of 2020, which was 2,959.8%. According to the historical records of the last five years, the gradual deceleration of inflation in Venezuela began in 2019, when the INPC stood at 9,585.5% at the end of the year, a notable drop when compared to the 130,060.2% of 2018, the highest peak in recent history. The hyperinflationary crisis deepened, in good part, due to the imposition of the financial blockade and the coercive measures of the United States against the Venezuelan oil industry, which caused a decrease of almost 100% of the foreign exchange earnings to the country, preventing the normal functioning of the economy. The economic situation in Venezuela still has challenges ahead to operate at optimal levels, such as improving the salary conditions of the entire working class and addressing the levels of inequality among the po[CENSORED]tion, which is divided between those who have access to foreign exchange and those who do not. , but daily life shows signs of greater dynamism and development. This evident improvement is driven by labor diversification initiatives by the working class, private investment and the promotion of micro-enterprises, while the State is committed to reducing fuel subsidies and the oil industry gradually increases the daily production levels of fuel. crude oil and fuel refining. Privilege the use of local currency Last December, the Executive Vice President and also Minister of Economy and Finance of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, proposed to Parliament a bill to partially reform the tax on large financial transactions, which aims to privilege the use of local currency, the bolivar. The Executive's proposal, which must be discussed and approved by parliament this year, is in line with the economic measures and actions applied in 2021, aimed at strengthening the bolivar and boosting the country's productive loan portfolio. Rodríguez said that the creation of the new monetary expression, known as the 'digital bolivar', made it possible to recover payments in bolivars, with a record of 80% of transactions in local currency within national commerce and highlighted the resurgence of the oil industry, which has managed to produce more than a million barrels per day, amid the strict US sanctions. For this reason, the senior official declared that 2022 for Venezuela "will be the year of the definitive recovery of the bolivar as the national currency" in the face of de facto dollarization; and the first of "a new era of growth, of hope, of flourishing" with a diversified economy.

Destroyer 05, this is the name of the brand's new sedan that stands out for having a somewhat wider range than other plug-in hybrids. Plug-in hybrids usually have a range of electric autonomy close to 50-60 kilometers, which means that if you want to maximize that margin, you should plan a little in which part of your route it is more convenient to use it. But the Chinese advance very fast in terms of batteries and today you can already find cars that double that number, something that helps a lot to mitigate the anxiety generated by the exhaustion of the batteries. We are talking about the BYD Destroyer 05, a car that before anything else, powerfully draws attention for its aggressive name. When have we ever seen a sedan called itself "the destroyer"? Well, if there is one thing that the Chinese still struggle with, it is adapting to the idiosyncrasies and cultural details of Western countries. We would only be able to put "destroyer" on a 4x4 truck or a hyper exotic sports car. But hey, the BYD Destroyer 05 is so named because it is part of a family of BYD models inspired by the world of the sea and the ocean. Electric cars are named after marine animals and the hybrids of this family are named after warships, therefore it refers to a military ship. BYD Destroyer 05: Dimensions and Design Length: 4,780 mm Width: 1,837 mm Height: 1,495 mm Between axles: 2,718 mm BYD's "Destroyer" is a big car, though it doesn't look like it by design. It is very close to the Audi A4 or a Peugeot 508, so that you have a reference. In other words, it participates in segment D. Its design language is called "Marine Aesthetics" although it is difficult to see what is really "marine" in its design. The grille takes a bit from the Peugeot books in the sense that today the fashion is to remove the frame from the grille and integrate it into the bumper with chrome segments. The headlights are slim and are joined by a decorative appliqué bearing the BYD insignia. On the back, we have very thin and continuous LED skulls, which go through the gate and wear a transparent lens. It is a modern, attractive, but generic car. The interior is committed to minimalism and we can find two screens where the 8.8 "instrument panel and the multimedia interface are concentrated, although this screen is brutally large, with 15.6" in size. The rest of the commands are housed in a lower module with a rotary dial for transmission and other commands for driving aids and extra functions. The perceived quality looks top-notch, at least in the photos and with blue ambient lighting for style. BYD Destroyer 05: The Powertrain BYD's biggest development in electromobility is its Blade batteries, which are very thin, indestructible and have a lot of density. Obviously the Destroyer 05 was not going to be without this technology. The brand has not indicated more characteristics of the packs that the Destroyer 05 will carry, but there will be two sizes for two autonomies, 55 kilometers in the smallest capacity and 120 kilometers in the most powerful. These batteries are associated with the brand's DM-i PHEV powertrain, which consists of a 1.5 engine with 109 Hp and two electric motors of different power. With the low specification engine the sum is 177 Hp, while with the more powerful unit it is 194 Hp. The Destroyer 05 is the first sedan in this family of models inspired by the world of the sea and it will surely not be the last, as BYD evolves its product line towards more sophisticated models.

The summer heat affects workers who perform certain outdoor activities, who can experience episodes of heat stress and suffer serious kidney damage. The arrival of summer encourages workers who work outdoors to suffer the effects of the excessive heat typical of the season, mainly in the province of Guanacaste, in Costa Rica. During this time, many workers are exposed to heat stress situations, when they perform physically heavy work and in high temperature conditions. The external heat and the internal heat generated by the great muscular activity, produce hyperthermia (high body temperature), which can cause serious damage to the kidney. Precisely, various studies carried out in the region, by the International Research Team of La Isla Network and other groups of researchers, managed to demonstrate that heat stress can lead to Non-Traditional Chronic Kidney Disease (CKDnT), which is an occupational disease and it is unrelated to the common causes of chronic kidney disease, which are diabetes and high blood pressure. These investigations have shown that, when workers perform different tasks in the same field, the higher the physical load during work, the more frequently kidney damage develops. Thousands are affected by non-traditional CKD, both in the Central American region and in the country. In Costa Rica, Guanacaste is the province with the highest incidence of cases of chronic kidney disease, where mortality in men from this cause, during the period 2017-2021, was 4.6 times higher than in the rest of the country. Those affected are, mainly, men between the ages of 30 and 59, who have a mortality rate, due to this cause, 9.2 times higher than in the rest of the country. An epidemic of chronic kidney disease “There is an epidemic of chronic kidney disease of non-traditional cause in the Central American region, and Costa Rica does not escape this. According to scientific evidence, as the body overheats, inflammation processes occur in the kidneys, often without apparent symptoms and, over time, this can lead to chronic kidney disease, especially if it recurs frequently. We must bear in mind that chronic kidney disease is irreversible and eventually leads to death. It is essential to improve the working conditions of those workers who work in the sectors of industrial agricultural crops, construction and in other jobs that are 'heavy and hot', ”explains Dr. Catharina Wesseling, epidemiologist at La Isla Network. The epidemic has been raging in Guanacaste society for more than three decades and there is a large po[CENSORED]tion of sick people in advanced stages, requiring dialysis services. “The Liberia Hospital coordinates important home dialysis programs for these patients, most of whom are young. At the beginning of 2022, the Renal Therapy Unit will be inaugurated, which will provide peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis services, to help improve the quality of life of more patients ”, says Dr. Mónica Espinoza, coordinator of the Dialysis Unit from Hospital Enrique Baltodano Briceño, in Liberia. This issue has been addressed in the country and the region by La Isla Network and the Costa Rican Agency for Biomedical Research, ACIB-FUNIN, institutions that seek alternatives for the solution of this occupational disease. How to prevent it? The studies carried out by La Isla Network have allowed us to obtain knowledge on how this disease can be prevented, by improving the conditions of workers who have a high physical workload, in very hot weather conditions. “Water-shade-rest programs should be used, with concrete preventive measures, based on evidence. It is necessary that the authorities carry out a more exhaustive epidemiological surveillance and collaborate with the companies so that the appropriate measures are implemented, guaranteeing the access of workers to sufficient rest in the shade, as well as to water and electrolyte solutions in the correct quantities ”, explains Dr. Wesseling. “We are working together with the group from La Isla, with the Costa Rican Social Security Fund and other institutions, to raise awareness about the need to act in a concrete and prompt manner, because if this disease is preventable, we cannot allow it to continue to present more cases in the country. We are initiating new investigations to look for additional alternatives to prevent this serious threat to the health of so many young workers. Said research will have a great impact on their families and society ”, emphasizes Dr. Rolando Herrero, scientific director of ACIB-FUNIN. News brought by https://www.vidayexito.net/

Caracas emphasized the paradox of the Bogotá statements regarding the "so many human rights violations" committed by the government of Iván Duque. The Minister of Po[CENSORED]r Power for Foreign Relations of Venezuela, Felix Plasencia, criticized on January 8 the statements of Colombia on the "opportunistic silence" of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) in the face of the democratic crisis that some countries of the region. In his Twitter account, the foreign minister pointed out that Bogotá "seems to denounce itself, in the face of so many human rights violations committed in 2021" by the government of Iván Duque. "We welcome that, finally, Duque's representative has participated in the Celac meeting without sneaking out the back door, as she did in Mexico," said Felix Plasencia. In addition, he stressed that the neighboring country, once again, exercises "its sad role as spokesman for the United States in defense of the reigning coup in the OAS." Plasencia's statements come shortly after the XXII Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Celac, held in Buenos Aires and where Argentina assumed the temporary presidency. During the event, the Colombian vice president and foreign minister, Marta Lucía Ramírez, questioned the silence of the organization in the face of the alleged "breakdown of the democratic order" in some countries. "We cannot have opportunistic silences in the face of fundamental values that were and will always be and everywhere, such as the defense of democracy, freedoms and human rights and as they have been for this same Celac in the recent past. ", highlighted the senior official in her speech, read by the Deputy Minister of Multilateral Affairs, María Carmelina Londoño. News brought by https://actualidad.rt.com/

"We will negotiate whatever is necessary." The Secretary of State for Employment, Joaquín Pérez Rey, one of the fathers of the agreement between the Government, employers and unions for the labor reform, expressed himself with this emphaticness yesterday, in a television interview, regarding the parliamentary support necessary to validate the decree law already in force. The coalition government does not rule out the validation of the decree, but neither does it close the door to being processed as a bill, which means a longer period of time to discuss amendments and, therefore, a less agonizing approval. “The aspiration is that the text of the social dialogue and that constitutes the photo of an agreement between the employers, the workers and the government of the nation remains in Parliament, but the political forces have to express their opinions on the matter and we are willing to listen to them without renouncing this aspiration to maintain the integrity of the social pact ”, explained Pérez Rey, in a phrase in which the ringing and going to the procession coexist. The ministry maintains open contacts with the PNV, ERC and the rest of the partners, but not with Citizens Other government sources yesterday also pointed to the main objective of achieving the validation of the decree, but they did not close the door to address the claims of their members of the legislature and open a bill process if it is inevitable for a favorable vote. Listening to the positions of PNV, ERC and EH-Bildu, which have announced their decision to vote against, that option, that of approaching the new labor legislation as a bill, seems almost irreversible. The Finance Minister herself, María Jesús Montero, spoke on Monday of this possibility, although it is not the one preferred by the Executive. However, the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, was against this possibility and reiterated the call for the PP to align itself with the agreed text. "It is not a bill of the Government, but of employers and unions." Bolaños is against extending the process, although the rest of the Executive does not rule it out The negotiations, however, led by the team of the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, are open and formal and informal contacts have been maintained with the groups of the majority of the legislature even during these holidays. And although they are more intense with PNV and ERC, they also push the other investiture supports, from PDECat to Compromís. Not with Citizens; at least for now. The keys with the Basque nationalists and Esquerra continue to be respect for social dialogue in the autonomous framework - particularly in the Basque case, since it has its own unions and employers - and the ambition of some of the worker protection measures , specifically, the recovery of administrative authorization for regulatory files, a cause on which Esquerra has emphasized. Also, other related matters, such as processing salaries or severance pay, although no one seems willing to make a red line out of them. The lack of agreement with the groups is actually a consequence of the working method for this delicate process, in which, although meetings with other formations were repeated, an agreement with the social agents within the table was prioritized - which implies a protection of the EU to the norm before possible changes of government -, to later negotiate the support of the parliamentary groups. Pérez Rey expressed his optimism, recalling that of the twelve agreements reached with employers and unions, several were ratified by the Congress of Deputies without any vote against and almost all, with large majorities. They aspire to repeat. Even if that means slowing down. News brought by https://www.lavanguardia.com

In addition to targeting the production of 100% battery-powered vehicles, the manufacturer wants to use its electrical systems to upgrade classic cars, trains, and even ships! If we make a classification of the automakers most committed to electric mobility, without a doubt General Motors will be included. The American firm has already presented several developments in the field of electric vehicles (EV), among which the construction of its own factory of 100% battery models and even its new generation of electric motors stands out. Precisely, GM recently unveiled a new strategy to apply in the world of zero emissions, but with the exception that it goes beyond the production of cars, SUVs, pick-ups and other private vehicles, by integrating classic models, vehicles for use in airports and even ships! What is GM's new plan? The idea of General Motors is not only to market battery-powered cars, but also to sell electrical systems, which allow the aforementioned vehicles to be electrified. In this way, the firm opens a new door within the electrification business, with the aim of supplying means of transport that are currently not highly regarded by the battery-powered automotive industry. “While many companies in various industries aim to reduce their emissions, GM is in a unique position to serve as a leader, not only through new electric vehicles, but also with technological systems that allow us to add customers to our journey around the world. electrified, ”said Travis Hester, vice president of GM's EV Growth Operations department. Four areas to work With the aim of obtaining a large share of the electrification components market, General Motors will divide its strategy into four fronts: Chevy Performance and Aftermarket GM Powered Solutions Ground Support Equipment Marine Propulsion Chevy Performance and Aftermarket It consists of the Electric Connect and eCrate kit application, which we learned about at the end of 2020 when GM itself used it in a 1977 Chevrolet Blazer, and which will be launched on the market in 2022. The kit has the ability to adapt to any vehicle , so that those who acquire it will be able to replace their combustion engine with an electric one. GM Powered Solutions Although there is not much information in this regard, this area will focus on the provision of electrical systems in certain vehicles, through the GM Marine division (dedicated to marine vehicles), and also for On-Highway means of transport (which travel roads , asphalt roads and streets and derivatives), Off-Highway (off-road) and Industrial (industrial). Ground Support Equipment The support department will be dedicated to the conversion of airport vehicles, such as those that transport luggage. In addition, it will be linked to the Powertrain Control Solutions company, which will be in charge of implementing the powertrain systems in these vehicles. Marine Propulsion The presence of General Motors in the water is carried out through an agreement with Pure Watercraft, a firm of electric boats and with which they will develop and market this type of vehicle.
