Europa ante el nuevo tablero económico mundial Original
La segunda mitad de 2025 se perfila como una auténtica partida de ajedrez geoeconómica. Los grandes bloques utilizan las herramientas de política económica –desde los aranceles hasta las exigencias de inversión– como armas en un pulso geopolítico. No se trata solo de una reconfiguración de las relaciones de poder internacional, sino también de una redefinición profunda de los vínculos económicos y financieros.
How Nature Shapes the Human Brain and Behavior
I recently came across the fascinating book "Nature and the Mind" by Marc Berman, which inspired me to write this blog. Hope you like it. Introduction: The Brain on Nature In recent years, science has revealed that the environment in which we live doesn't just shape our bodies - it also shapes our brains. This emerging field, known as environmental neuroscience, studies how natural and built environments affect human cognition, emotions, and behavior.
The Executive’s Guide to Environmental Leadership
Press enter or click to view image in full size Environmental leadership has evolved from a nice-to-have corporate social responsibility checkbox into a business imperative that directly impacts your bottom line, talent retention, and competitive advantage. Today’s executives face a simple choice: lead on environmental issues or watch competitors capture the benefits of sustainability while you explain to shareholders why you’re falling behind. The data is compelling.
Why Your Weather App Can’t Predict Climate (And What Actually Can)
Your weather app can tell you with remarkable accuracy whether it will rain tomorrow, but it becomes useless when you’re trying to decide what tree species will thrive in your region 25 years from now. This reflects a fundamental difference between weather forecasting and climate prediction that many people don’t understand. The confusion is understandable.
How Global Warming Alters Nature’s Colour Palette
The colours we see in nature, from the vibrant greens of spring to the fiery reds of autumn, are the result of complex biological processes that have evolved over millions of years to respond to predictable seasonal cues. But as our climate rapidly warms, these ancient rhythms are being disrupted, and nature’s palette is changing before our eyes. Nature’s seasonal colours are controlled by a delicate interplay of temperature, daylight, and moisture.

Planting for the Future: A Guide to Tree Planting
On a crisp autumn weekend, a group of volunteers from a local environmental organisation gathered in a suburban park for a tree-planting event. Among them was David, a gardener with a passion for urban planting. As he selected a spot to plant his oak sapling, he confidently began to dig, only to find the soil densely compacted and littered with remnants of construction debris. David sought advice from a fellow volunteer, an experienced arborist.

Tras un largo periodo en el que la economía se ha visto fuertemente condicionada por cuestiones como la creciente inflación, las constantes subidas en los tipos de interés por parte del Banco Central Europeo (BCE) y la Reserva Federal (FED) y el impacto que generan factores geopolíticos como el conflicto en Ucrania o la situación actual en la Franja de Gaza, la economía española cierra un año en el que entidades públicas, organizaciones privadas y, especialmente, familias y particulares se...

Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene Liner Thickness Does Not Influence Survival in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty After Mean Follow-Up of 13 Years: A Study of 2,565 Hips With a Single Design Liner
Primary Outcomes Survivorship Estimated all-cause survivorship was 96% at 10 years and 94.4% at a mean 13-year follow-up. The all-cause survival rates, at a mean follow-up of 13 years, when stratified by liner thickness, are demonstrated in Table 5 and illustrated in Figure 2. These results demonstrated no significant difference in survivorship when stratified by liner thickness (P = .286).

Climate Alarmism Can Hurt: Here are Some Alternatives
Climate Alarmism Can Hurt: Here are Some Alternatives Posted on 22-02-2022 by Bas Fransen There are hundreds of conversations about climate change today, but they tend to take an overwhelmingly similar tone: that of pessimism and doom-saying.

Escolta el podcast: El dijous 23 d’abril es va celebrar el Consell Europeu, la cimera entre els diferents caps d’estat dels països membres de la UE, el president del Consell Europeu i la presidenta de la Comissió Europea.

L'impacte del COVID-19 a les finances
Davant l’auge del brot del coronavirus i l’efecte en els mercats, hem analitzat l’impacte econòmic i les afeccions del brot fins al moment. Encara que la situació a la Xina sembla haver-se controlat, l’activitat econòmica del país continua deteriorant-se. Els indicadors d’activitat real s’han contret fortament: No hi ha moviments a les carreteres. La venda d’habitatges és 4 vegades menor a l’habitual. El consum d’electricitat s’ha contret un 70%.
Actualitat econòmica, dilluns 14 de gener 2019
El 2018 va tancar amb fortes caigudes a causa de les pors generades per la incertesa política. Factors tan complexos com les negociacions de l’acord comercial entre els Estats Units i la Xina, sumats a la tensió a Europa per la falta de consens sobre les condicions que s’han d’aplicar en el procés del Brexit, així com els constants desafiaments del govern italià davant la Comissió Europea, han generat un sentiment de temor que ha allunyat les valoracions dels actius dels seus valors fonamentals.
