#German Nutrition Society

[ghelgheli]

According to Marx, metabolic rift appears in three different levels and forms. First and most fundamentally, metabolic rift is the material disruption of cyclical processes in natural metabolism under the regime of capital. Marx’s favourite example is the exhaustion of the soil by modern agriculture. Modern large-scale, industrial agriculture makes plants absorb soil nutrition as much as and as fast as possible so that they can be sold to customers in large cities even beyond national borders. It was Justus von Liebig’s Agricultural Chemistry (1862) and his theory of metabolism that prompted Marx to integrate an analysis of the ‘robbery’ system of agriculture into Capital. [...]

Liebig harshly criticized modern ‘robbery agriculture’ (Raubbau), which only aims at the maximization of short-term profit and lets plants absorb as many nutrients from the soil as possible without replenishing them. Market competition drives farmers to large-scale agriculture, intensifying land usage without sufficient management and care. As a consequence, modern capitalist agriculture created a dangerous disruption in the metabolic cycle of soil nutrients. [...]

Marx formulated the problem of soil exhaustion as a contradiction created by capitalist production in the metabolism between humans and nature. Insofar as value cannot fully take the metabolism between humans and nature into account and capitalist production prioritizes the infinite accumulation of value, the realization of sustainable production within capitalism faces insurmountable barriers.

This fundamental level of metabolic rift in the form of the disruption of material flow cannot occur without being supplemented and reinforced by two further dimensions. The second dimension of metabolic rift is the spatial rift. Marx highly valued Liebig in Capital because his Agricultural Chemistry provided a scientific foundation for his earlier critical analysis of the social division of labour, which he conceptualized as the ‘contradiction between town and country’ in The German Ideology. Liebig lamented that those crops that are sold in modern large cities do not return to the original soil after they are consumed by the workers. Instead, they flow into the rivers as sewage via water closets, only strengthening the tendency towards soil exhaustion.

This antagonistic spatial relationship between town and country – it can be called ‘spatial rift’ – is founded upon a violent process of so-called primitive accumulation accompanied by depeasantization and massive urban growth of the working-class population concentrated in large cities. This not only necessitates the long-distance transport of products but also significantly increases the demand for agricultural products in large cities, leading to continuous cropping without fallowing under large-scale agriculture, which is intensified even more through market competition. In other words, robbery agriculture does not exist without the social division of labour unique to capitalist production, which is based upon the concentration of the working class in large cities and the corresponding necessity for the constant transport of their food from the countryside. [...]

The third dimension of metabolic rift is the temporal rift. As is obvious from the slow formation of soil nutrients and fossil fuels and the accelerating circulation of capital, there emerges a rift between nature’s time and capital’s time. Capital constantly attempts to shorten its turnover time and maximize valorization in a given time – the shortening of turnover time is an effective way of increasing the quantity of profit in the face of the decreasing rate of profit. This process is accompanied by increasing demands for floating capital in the form of cheap and abundant raw and auxiliary materials. Furthermore, capital constantly revolutionizes the production process, augmenting productive forces with an unprecedented speed compared with precapitalist societies. Productive forces can double or triple with the introduction of new machines, but nature cannot change its formation processes of phosphor or fossil fuel, so ‘it was likely that productivity in the production of raw materials would tend not to increase as rapidly as productivity in general (and, accordingly, the growing requirements for raw materials)’ (Lebowitz 2009: 138). This tendency can never be fully suspended because natural cycles exist independently of capital’s demands. Capital cannot produce without nature, but it also wishes that nature would vanish. [...]

The contradiction of capitalist accumulation is that increases in the social productivity are accompanied by a decrease in natural productivity due to robbery [... i]t is thus essential for capital to secure stable access to cheap resources, energy and food. [...]

The exploration of the earth and the invention of new technologies cannot repair the rift. The rift remains ‘irreparable’ in capitalism. This is because capital attempts to overcome rifts without recognizing its own absolute limits, which it cannot do. Instead, it simply attempts to relativize the absolute. This is what Marx meant when he wrote ‘every limit appears a barrier to overcome’ (Grundrisse: 408). Capital constantly invents new technologies, develops means of transportation, discovers new use-values and expands markets to overcome natural limits. [...]

Corresponding to the three dimensions of metabolic rifts, there are also three ways of shifting them. First, there is technological shift. Although Liebig warned about the collapse of European civilization due to robbery agriculture in the 19th century, his prediction apparently did not come true. This is largely thanks to Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, who invented the so-called Haber-Bosch process in 1906 that enabled the industrial mass production of ammonia (NH3) by fixing nitrogen from the air, and thus of chemical fertilizer to maintain soil fertility. Historically speaking, the problem of soil exhaustion due to a lack of inorganic substances was largely resolved thanks to this invention. Nevertheless, the Haber-Bosch process did not heal the rift but only shifted, generating other problems on a larger scale.

The production of NH3 uses a massive amount of natural gas as a source of hydrogen (H). In other words, it squanders another limited resource in order to produce ammonia as a remedy to soil exhaustion, but it is also quite energy intensive, producing a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) (responsible for 1 per cent of the total carbon emission in the world). Furthermore, excessive applications of chemical fertilizer leach into the environment, causing eutrophication and red tide, while nitrogen oxide pollutes water. Overdependence on chemical fertilizer disrupts soil ecology, so that it results in soil erosion, low water- and nutrient-holding capacity, and increased vulnerability to diseases and insects. Consequently, more frequent irrigation, a larger amount of fertilizer and more powerful equipment become necessary, together with pesticides. This kind of industrial agriculture consumes not just water but large quantities of oil also, which makes agriculture a serious driver of climate change. [...]

[T]here remains a constant need to shift the rift under capitalism, which continues to bring about new problems. This contradiction becomes more discernible in considering the second type of shifting the metabolic rift – that is, spatial shift, which expands the antagonism of the city and the countryside to a global scale in favour of the Global North. Spatial shift creates externality by a geographic displacement of ecological burdens to another social group living somewhere else. Again, Marx discussed this issue in relation to soil exhaustion in core capitalist countries in the 19th century. On the coast of Peru there were small islands consisting of the excrement of seabirds called guano that had accumulated over many years to form ‘guano islands’. [...]

In the 19th century, guano became ‘necessary’ to sustain soil fertility in Europe. Millions of tons of guano were dug up and continuously exported to Europe, resulting in its rapid exhaustion. Extractivism was accompanied by the brutal oppression of Indigenous people and the severe exploitation of thousands of Chinese ‘c**lies’ working under cruel conditions. Ultimately, the exhaustion of guano reserves provoked the Guano War (1865–6) and the Saltpetre War (1879–84) in the battle for the remaining guano reserves. As John Bellamy Foster and Brett Clark (2009) argue, such a solution in favour of the Global North resulted in ‘ecological imperialism’. Although ecological imperialism shifts the rift to the peripheries and makes its imminent violence invisible in the centre, the metabolic rift only deepens on a global scale through long-distance trade, and the nutrient cycle becomes even more severely disrupted.

The third dimension of metabolic shift is the temporal shift. The discrepancy between nature’s time and capital’s time does not immediately bring about an ecological disaster because nature possesses ‘elasticity’. Its limits are not static but modifiable to a great extent. Climate crisis is a representative case of this metabolic shift. Massive CO2 emissions due to the excessive usage of fossil fuels is an apparent cause of climate change, but the emission of greenhouse gas does not immediately crystallize as climate breakdown. Capital exploits the opportunities opened up by this time lag to secure more profits from previous investments in drills and pipelines. Since capital reflects the voice of current shareholders, but not that of future generations, the costs are shifted onto the latter. As a result, future generations suffer from consequences for which they are not responsible. Marx characterized such an attitude inherent to capitalist development with the slogan ‘Après moi le déluge!’ (Capital I: 381).

This time lag generated by a temporal shift also induces a hope that it would be possible to invent new epoch-making technologies to combat against the ecological crisis in the future. In fact, one may think that it is better to continue economic growth which promotes technological development, rather than over-reducing carbon dioxide emissions and adversely affecting the economy. However, even if new negative emission technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) are invented, it will take a long time for them to spread throughout society and replace the old ones. In the meantime, the environmental crisis will continue to worsen due to our current inaction. As a result, the expected effects of the new technology can be cancelled out.

I don't know if you can call that communism. It's just a green ideology that in order to "save the climate" envisions a total reduction of everything, a "shrinkage economy": Car manufacturers should become "tree planters", meat eaters "vegans" and consumers "recyclers".

For example, under the influence of the green government, the German Nutrition Society will soon recommend that we should only eat one egg every 8 weeks and at most 35 g of meat per week. Their new recommendation is not based on scientific research, but simply for "animal welfare" sake.

For me, that all just means I should seriously consider emigrating.

2022 / 32

Aperçu of the Week:

"There are things I don't even talk about with myself."

(Konrad Adenauer, first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany)

Bad News of the Week:

The hunger crisis is currently overshadowed by many other crises. Yet it is worse than ever. One in ten people on this planet suffers from insufficient nutrition, according to the latest UN food report. However, 3.1 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet anyway - they are happy having something to eat at all. Children are the worst off: In 2020, more than one-fifth of all young children were documented to have growth disorders as a result of malnutrition. That was before the start of the current crisis apocalypse. Right now, 15,000 girls and boys die - every day!

According to the former German Minister of Development Gerd Müller a scandal. Because it costs just 50 cents a day to feed a refugee child in Africa or Yemen. But "no one gets fed by talking." Specifically, Müller proposes a UN emergency aid fund. Because international research results show: With about 40 billion euros extra per year, hunger can be defeated by 2030 - that was actually the goal of the United Nations. And that's just about as much as Elon Musk wanted to spend on Twitter. Or almost as much as the world's largest oil producer, Saudi Aramco, made profit in 2021.

So it can't be the amount. It's the lack of will on the part of the decision-makers. Stupidly, no child's life saved in the third world has an impact on the stock market price. Or on the next election forecast. We should all be ashamed of ourselves.

Good News of the Week:

"The lie as a business model" headlines an article in the Tagesschau last week about the bizarre workings of Infowars founder Alex Jones. Who has demonstrably already cost human lives with his wild conspiracy theories. For example, in 2016, a young man grabbed a gun in a Washington DC pizzeria and started shooting. Why? Because he believes that in the basement of the pizzeria children are being kept as sex slaves under the control of Hillary Clinton. "Pizzagate" was a hit on the charts of Fake news and hate speech that was and is spread by Alex Jones.

For him, 9/11 had been a kind of awakening to what the Deep State and especially the Democrats were capable of - because "with 98 percent probability" it was a "government-controlled bombing of the World Trade Center." From there on, Jones got rich. With his "info channel" and plenty of tawdry merchandise ranging from inflammatory writings to dubious vitamin pills. And it went blow by blow: Global warming is a hoax made up by the World Bank to control the world economy through a carbon tax. Michele Obama is transgender and there are so many gays because they would be affected by chemicals in the water to not be able to have children. Al-Qaeda is funded by George Soros. Elites are working worldwide to overthrow societies to install dictatorships, vulgo the "New Global World Order". Hurricane Irma was "geo-engineered" and the droughts in California would not exist. Barack Obama created the terrorist organization "Islamic State." Corona vaccines don't work. And so on.

But his top theme in different variations is always: U.S. Democrats stage attacks to declare martial law and then establish a dictature. After all, the Boston Marathon bombing had to have been faked by the FBI. The Robb Elementary School shooting was staged too. So it is only logical that Jones also claimed that the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School never took place. But in doing so, he apparently miscalculated. Because brave parents were tired of being terrorized by Jones supporters after the tragic loss of their child, they should stop lying about ever having had a six-year-old son. And moved to court.

And that did its job. The jury in Texas (!) sentenced Alex Jones to $4 million in compensatory penalty - and another $45 million in "punitive damages." This is the first time Jones has been held liable for his personal info war. More important than the payments for pain and suffering, however, is the clear signal sent by this verdict: False claims about real people cause real damage. For which one will be held accountable. Pay attention, Tucker Carlson: you may be next!

Personal happy moment of the week:

I work almost exclusively in my home office. Which is good. Against Corona, against the obligation to wear pants and against lost time on the way to the office. But once a week I am in the office to meet colleagues and to focus all personal meetings on this day. And it's always Monday. Usually we say goodbye then with "See you next Monday!". But this week a colleague asked me, "Are you coming next week on Tuesday then, or not at all?". I must have looked at him questioningly, because he added: "Because Monday is a holiday...". I had completely overlooked that. This may be due to the fact that "Assumption day" is not a public holiday everywhere. But only in communities with a predominantly Catholic population. Which is the case in Munich. And who am I, would I not observe a law? Or risk my salvation? So I'm going to sleep in this Monday. And over the first coffee, think of the colleagues at other locations who don't have that day off. And of the colleague who reminded me just in time. Thank you, Patrick!

I couldn't care less...

...that former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder survived a expulsion process from his Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) because he could not be proven to have "violated the party's statutes." Either way, with his clinging to buddy Vladimir Putin, whom he had once called a "flawless democrat" in office, he has disqualified himself as an elder statesman. And with the lucrative supervisory board positions at Nord Stream and Rosneft, which he owes to Vlad, he has trampled on the ideals of Willy Brandt - whose "new East politics" against the Hallstein Doctrine laid the foundation for a cold war that never got hot. Whether you have a party card or not: Gerd, you're out!

As I write this...

...I am sitting on the train to Augsburg. Germany's second oldest city - yes, it was formally founded by Roman emperor Augustus - just an hour away from Munich. My wife and I benefit from the "9-Euro-Ticket" (for a whole month of public transport, unfortunately the last time this month) and will spend a nice day with culture and sightseeing. And at an excellent burger joint, where I have already reserved a table last week to be on the safe side. Nice.

Post Scriptum:

Leaving the comfort zone. What used to be considered an art to jumping over one's own shadow, will become a duty. That's what Klaus Müller, as head of the Federal Network Agency the master of gas distribution in Germany, tells us. Who will not have enough to distribute in the coming winter. Without 20% savings in private households, it won't work. Since the alternative would be a huge loss of jobs and prosperity if industries had to shut down for lack of gas. I sincerely hope that insight and goodwill will be enough to overcome this bottleneck. And that in the process, everyone becomes a little more thoughtful about what kind of comfort really justifies what kind of dependency.

In its new recommendations, the German Nutrition Society (DGE) relies more heavily on plant-based foods than before. Health-promoting and ecologically sustainable meals consist of more than three quarters of plant-based foods and almost a quarter of animal foods. The DGE now recommends only eating up to 300 grams of meat and sausage per week instead of the previous guideline amount of 300 to 600 grams. The recommended amount of milk and milk products has also been reduced - to two portions with a total of 400 grams per day . There is also a new recommendation to eat 25 grams of nuts every day and at least 125 grams of legumes per week.

When it comes to fish, however, it remains one or two portions per week. And the recommendation to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day also remains. According to the DGE, it is better to leave out sweet, salty and fatty foods. It should make up a maximum of eight percent of the energy intake. And just one egg per week is recommended. »We recommend eating colorful and healthy foods while protecting the environment. “We recommend a plant-based diet,” said Anne Carolin Schäfer, nutritionist in the DGE Science Department, on Tuesday in Kassel. Healthy nutrition and the environment must be thought of together, emphasized DGE President Bernhard Watzl. In addition to recommending a healthy diet, the DGE's new guidelines also took into account aspects such as sustainability, environmental impact and the usual consumption habits in Germany. According to the DGE, the new guidelines are based on a newly developed mathematical optimization model that the company developed with the support of experts from various disciplines. They apply to healthy adults in Germany aged 18 to 65 who eat both plant and animal foods. According to the DGE, the recommendations are always aimed at the healthy general population, i.e. people without special needs or dietary requirements.

Things To Know About Body Mass Index (BMI)

Body Mass Index or BMI is a body size measurement concerning your weight and height. It is more of an indicator to determine if the weight is healthy and compatible for a particular height.

In simple terms, your BMI range estimates your total body fat based on overall weight and height. The higher your BMI, the more overweight you are. However, BMI fails to tell if your overall weight is water, muscle, or fat. Therefore, you cannot consider it a diagnostic tool for body fat percentage.

Despite being used since the 1840s, the concept of bmi calculator has some drawbacks. The first problem is that BMI as a measure is not representative of all demographics. It considered data involving Europeans to determine the range.

Demographic data plays a role in determining optimal body weight. Additionally, body fat percentage, muscle mass, or body fat distribution are not taken into account, resulting in an inaccurate BMI value.

The BMI measurement cannot distinguish between fat and muscle. Because muscle tissue is denser than fat, its density and distribution are not reflected in the BMI calculation.

High BMI values ​​of strength athletes and athletes, for example, show that they are overweight or obese, even if this is not the case.Therefore, muscular people can have a healthy weight even if their BMI is in the obese range. 

Ideal BMI for Children and Teenagers

The BMI calculation is different for children and adolescents. For adults, the body mass index only takes weight and height into account. However, BMI interpretation uses age and gender for children and adolescents.

To determine an accurate BMI in children and young adults, healthcare professionals consider certain percentiles and growth charts. Taking age and gender into account is essential because children and adolescents tend to gain weight and height too slowly or too quickly. The BMI range for her is as follows.

First, the body mass index is only a guideline. A quick and relative index that allows us to roughly estimate our body weight. When calculating the body mass index, only total body weight is taken into account.The bmi calculator does not give any information about the distribution of body fat and does not distinguish between fat mass, water and muscles. Therefore, it should not only be related to age and gender. The physique, sports activities and other individual factors should definitely be taken into account.

This is especially true for children and teenagers. They are still growing, so it is difficult to determine a meaningful BMI for children. But here, too, a healthy diet in combination with sporting activities is ideal.

The German Nutrition Society recommends consuming at least 30g of dietary fibre per day from whole grain products, vegetables, legumes and fruit. In addition to whole grain cereal products, potatoes are also a possible source of carbohydrates.

New Technologies for the Future of European Space - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/new-technologies-for-the-future-of-european-space-technology-org/

New Technologies for the Future of European Space - Technology Org

What do bacteria-based food production, avalanche monitoring and the mapping of Venus have in common? They can all be found among the topics of the 47 research and development activities funded by ESA’s Discovery & Preparation programme between January and June 2023.

ESA Discovery funding is helping Finnish startup Solar Foods explore a solution that involves feeding bacteria with waste gases. The technology already works on Earth – resulting in a powder that can be transformed into tasty, healthy dishes – but could it be extended to space? Image credit: Solar Foods

ESA set up the Open Space Innovation Platform (OSIP) to discover and invest in new unconventional ideas that could greatly benefit and advance European space industry and academia.

Here, the minds behind five of the projects funded between January and June tell us about their projects, motivations and goals, as well as how ESA Discovery funding is helping them take their activity to the next level.

From waste to taste: astronaut dinner made by bacteria

Think of your weekly food shop. It’s heavy, it’s bulky, and certain items turn bad quickly. For long-duration space missions, storing and launching lots of food, as well as keeping it fresh, is a major dilemma.

ESA Discovery funding is helping Finnish startup Solar Foods explore a solution that involves feeding bacteria with waste gases. The technology already works on Earth – resulting in a powder that can be transformed into tasty, healthy dishes – but could it be extended to space?

“Solar Foods has commercialised Solein®, a protein ingredient produced ‘out of thin air’ using carbon dioxide and hydrogen,” explains Arttu Luukanen, Solar Foods. “While the potential of hydrogen oxidising bacteria for food production in space has been suggested in the past, we are the first company aiming to do it in practice.”

The Discovery & Preparation elements of ESA’s Discovery, Preparation and Technology Development (DPTD) activities carry out preparatory analysis and lay the groundwork for ESA’s short- to medium-term future activities. Image credit: ESA

“Carbon dioxide and hydrogen are already available in space habitats as waste gases,” says ESA space medicine expert Jonathan Scott. “As well as providing astronauts with fresh protein, Solein® would support recycling and water management.”

Arttu explains that the ultimate objective is to have one or more future space habitats house their Solein® bioreactor: “We are convinced that with the significant upmass savings the bioprocess provides, we could save tens of millions of euros per year per habitat.”

“We have found it valuable to interact with ESA experts who have provided us with a lot of information on crewed space habitats in general, the characteristics of contemporary environmental control and life support systems, and the requirements for nutrition.”

Monitoring avalanches with satellite constellations

Every year, avalanches kill people and damage infrastructure. Since they often occur in remote areas, monitoring them using satellites could prove very useful. ESA Discovery has funded the German Fraunhofer Society to explore this idea further.

“Now that mega-constellations of satellites (such as OneWeb, Starlink and others) are available in low-Earth orbit, we want to investigate and hopefully demonstrate that there are potential useful applications,” says Diego Cristallini, leading the research.

Satellite constellations offer continuous coverage of remote areas with multiple satellites looking from different observation angles. In this project, Diego and his colleagues are exploring whether we can use their ‘passive radar’ systems to detect avalanches; these systems listen for the reflections of radio waves off Earth’s surface.

ESA engineer Ernesto Imbembo, who is following the research, explains the potential implications of being able to make use of this technology: “In the short term it could open the door to possible low-cost/low-mass passive radar demonstrators and in the long-term to ad-hoc missions for civil security applications like early-warning of avalanches.”

Diego adds: “If we show that this technology is feasible, it could also have huge commercial relevance, because it could provide avalanche monitoring worldwide at low-cost. ESA support is vital for demonstrating this – because the technology-readiness level is pretty low, it would have been difficult to find financial support elsewhere.”

Clean air for astronauts

“People on Earth are surrounded by fresh air.

“People on Earth are surrounded by fresh air. But astronauts in space do not have the luxury of simply opening a window!” bucher.solutions (in a consortium with Villinger R&D, Danube Private University and ionOXess) is receiving ESA Discovery funding to develop a novel system to disinfect and purify the air that space travellers breathe.

The system involves physical/molecular processes that deactivate bacteria, fungi and viruses, whilst avoiding the use of chemical additives. It could be used in an upgrade of the International Space Station’s Advanced Closed Loop System.

ESA materials and processes engineer Malgorzata Holynska, who is covering this project together with ESA colleague Cathal Mooney, explains: “This activity is developing the technology that we could implement in future life support systems, aiming at sustainable, long-term exploration. The aim is to reduce airborne (bio)contamination on a space station and provide an alternative or complement to our existing systems that will one day need updating.”

Lukas Bucher of bucher.solutions adds: “We see a multitude of potential application areas in addition to crewed space travel, Closed spaces are present all over the world. Lifts, airplanes, submarines, waiting rooms, public transportation, offices, basements, open-plan offices, cinemas, theatres, and many, many more!”

This is the first time bucher.solutions has worked on a space project. Lukas says: “The experiences we are gaining in the space sector with this project are exceptional and represent the ultimate challenge for technology enthusiasts across all industries.”

Mapping Venus’s surface in detail

Venus is Earth’s mysterious twin, but little is known about the planet’s surface and interior due to its thick cloud layer and the relatively few missions that have visited.

In the early 1990s, NASA’s Magellan mission revealed that Venus’s surface is dotted with massive volcanoes, weathered lava plains, and other evidence of continuous transformation. From this dataset and painstaking manual search, scientists have found one compelling case for surface change. With Discovery funding, Imperial College London is working on spotting these changes more effectively.

“We are developing intelligent software tools to reliably detect and quantify surface change on Venus, using radar imagery, in a semi-automated way,” explains Philippa Mason, Imperial College London. “On Earth, this is relatively straightforward, but on Venus it is really challenging.”

These open-source tools will be applied to images acquired by next-generation radar instruments on EnVision (ESA) and Veritas (NASA) missions. They will reveal how Venus’s surface has changed between the 1990s and 2030s, as well as changes that occur during the missions.

ESA’s Anne Grete Straume-Lindner, EnVision Project Scientist, highlights why the tools and new radar data will be so valuable for science: “They will help to answer key questions, namely why Venus is so different to Earth, how the surface of Venus has evolved over time, and whether there is any geological activity on the planet today.”

Philippa explains that: “This project kicks off an eight-year programme of research, so we are extremely happy and grateful for the unique opportunity that ESA Discovery provides.”

How does machine learning ‘taste’?

When we think of robots, we tend to personify these non-human aids and give them human-like features. But any machine with inbuilt artificial intelligence can be a robot. Image credit: ESA/S. Berna

A big challenge for using artificial intelligence in space missions is the heavy demand for computation resources. To solve this, dedicated pieces of hardware called ‘hardware accelerators’ can provide the necessary computing power.

As part of its ambitions towards a model-based system engineering approach, ESA Discovery is supporting the Polytechnic University of Milan to translate machine learning algorithms into hardware accelerators for space applications.

“This would have enormous impacts on how we can use machine learning in space,” says Fabrizio Ferrandi, who is leading the research. “Hardware design of machine learning applications is receiving lots of attention, but until now no final solution has been discovered.”

Maxime Perrotin, ESA software engineer, adds: “This activity is essential for us at ESA, as AI is going to be increasingly important in our daily lives and this is one step towards its integration in our development processes.

While model-based system engineering is being adopted for developing space systems, linking with the growing AI frameworks now guarantees that the European space industry has early access to the possibilities offered by the combined use of these technologies.”

Fabrizio adds: “OSIP is a great booster for the research since it grants the possibility to interact with engineers and researchers from ESA, who bring their priceless experience and support. Along with that, a wide range of real-world use cases is made available by ESA to test the research product, assess its capabilities, and ensure many can benefit from it in the future.”

The biography ~

tw: transmissible disease (hiv), medical issues, partner death, brief mentions of internalized homophobia/toxic masculinity, fertility issues, infidelity, pregnancy/surrogacy, PTSD, Grief, and abandonment issues.

   Affluence by default was the expectation for the first-born and only son of Mehmet and Sevda Çelik, a power couple of the Turkish high society. Mehmet, the heir of a chain of international hotels and Sevda, a fierce fashion designer held preconceived notions about the little boy who had changed their eternity of fertility issues. For a while after his birth, these preconceived notions were their reality, however, the undertone of Sevda’s concern for her son’s late blooming clouded some of the joy that she felt in being a mother. Tuncay didn’t crawl until 10 months, couldn’t stand for long periods of time until 22 months, and when he finally walked, his gait was wobbly and abnormal. Physicians assured them that their son was perfectly healthy, that he was simply a strong-willed boy who didn’t want to follow traditional standards. 

It was late in the afternoon when he was three that things went awry. He had gone to bed early, had slept through the night and into the early hours of the morning but he was difficult to wake, lethargic, his fever so high that after refusing to eat his breakfast, he had start convulsing in the middle of the garden, attended to by one of the landscapers. It was at this moment that all of Sevda’s worries became reality. Her healthy baby boy was reduced to nothing, a consistent patient of the pediatric ward for two more years before her own medical emergency made them understand exactly what was going on with her child. 

She had passed HIV to her son unknowingly. 

Although putting a name to the reason that her son had gotten so sick in a rapid manner was a relief, the guilt that she felt for being the cause of it made it difficult for her to truly enjoy her son’s health when it finally came. After a couple of years of medication therapy and when Tuncay was old enough to understand his condition, Sevda was happy to learn that Tuncay, instead of hating her, started to open up to her more. They became closer than ever, made a routine of their medical upkeep, and in his teenage years, didn’t quite fall out as often as most teenagers and their parents did. 

Moving abroad to Germany for university was harder than he thought. Although he saw his parents more often than most kids, being away from his parents affected him more than he supposed it affected his parents. As difficult as the change in culture, language, and society was, he found it fun and interesting and studying made it easy. What wasn’t easy, however, was meeting Amman Ulusoy, a Turkish-born student from Canada. Their ideas clashed, their cultural morals were vastly different, but their opinions on business, life, and art was where chemistry was born. Tuncay didn’t make it easy, his attitude toward his sexuality screamed internalized homophobia and Amman called him out every time that it came up. 

He worked through it for years before he finally accepted him as a partner. By that time, they had spent so much time together that they decided not to wait - they got married in Canada, moved to Vancouver after graduation, and talked about children. Sevda was glad despite her apprehension, Mehmet became distant so as not to offend his son with his ignorance and even though he struggled, even though in the present day, he still made comments that made the architect internally cringe, his effort in acceptance was the most important thing for Tuncay. 

Mehtap, their first daughter, was the consequence of a slight misalignment between Amman and Tuncay. His infidelity weighed heavily on him for a long time after Amman passed away from an accident on the scene of one of their new constructions. Mehtap’s mother decided that it would be best for their daughter to live with her father, her intention being that having an infant to focus on would help him through the grief that came with the loss of Amman and it worked for the most part; the only issue was the distraction of tending to his daughter kept the grief away. 

He moved back to Istanbul very quickly afterward, hoping that being near his family would help ease some of the pain, he started treating life as if it was normal but once again, he used the distraction of building his own architecture company as a way to prolong dealing with the grief of losing his partner. 

There was something about grief that made his art better.

He gained notoriety, his designs were admired, his opinions were sought after, and when an opportunity to take his work to the U.S came up, he decided that he was ready to face his demons head on; they had always talked about living in the mountains and raising their children there, whether those mountains were in Canada, Turkey, or anywhere else on the planet they felt drawn toward.

And as if the universe was playing with him, while designing the project that he'd been brought in specifically for - he met a man who saw his demons and still took his hand with the excuse that they would face all of them together. The unfortunate bit was that losing his first husband created a lot of problems for him; he'd grown over-protective, anxious, and when their daughter came into the picture, it got even worse.

Things You Should Know About Body Mass Index (BMI)

Body Mass Index or BMI is a body size measurement concerning your weight and height. It is more of an indicator to determine if the weight is healthy and compatible for a particular height.

In simple terms, your BMI range estimates your total body fat based on overall weight and height. The higher your BMI, the more overweight you are. However, BMI fails to tell if your overall weight is water, muscle, or fat. Therefore, you cannot consider it a diagnostic tool for body fat percentage.

Despite being used since the 1840s, the concept of bmi calculator has some drawbacks. The first problem is that BMI as a measure is not representative of all demographics. It considered data involving Europeans to determine the range.

Demography plays a role in determining optimum body weight. Also, it does not consider body fat percentage, muscle mass, or body fat distribution, which produces an inaccurate BMI reading.

BMI measure cannot distinguish between fat and muscle. Since muscle tissue is more dense than fat, the density and distribution do not reflect in BMI calculation.

For example, the high BMI reading of weight trainers and athletes show as overweight or obese, even when they’re not. Thus, muscular people can be of healthy weight even though their BMI range falls in the obese category. 

Ideal BMI for Children and Teenagers

The BMI calculation is different when it comes to children and teenagers. In adults, body mass index considers weight and height only. However, the BMI interpretation uses age and gender for children and teens.

To get accurate BMI in children and young adults, the health professional considers specific percentile and growth charts. Factoring in age and gender is essential because children and teenagers tend to gain weight and grow height too slowly or too quickly. The BMI range for them is as follows.

First and foremost, the Body Mass Index is only a guide. A quick, relative index that allows us to make a rough assessment of our body weight. The calculation of the Body Mass Index only takes into account the total body weight.

The bmi calculator does not give any information about the distribution of body fat and does not distinguish between fat mass, water and muscles. Therefore, it should not only be related to age and gender. The physique, sports activities and other individual factors should definitely be taken into account.

This is especially true for children and teenagers. They are still growing, so it is difficult to determine a meaningful BMI for children. But here, too, a healthy diet in combination with sporting activities is ideal.

The German Nutrition Society recommends consuming at least 30g of dietary fibre per day from whole grain products, vegetables, legumes and fruit. In addition to whole grain cereal products, potatoes are also a possible source of carbohydrates.

Roots are capable of measuring heat on their own

Plant roots have their own thermometer to measure the temperature of the soil around them and they adjust their growth accordingly. Through extensive experiments, a team led by Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), was able to demonstrate that roots have their own temperature sensing and response system. In a new study in The EMBO Journal, the scientists also provide a new explanation for how roots themselves detect and react to higher temperatures. The results could help develop new approaches for plant breeding. The researchers used climate chambers to investigate how the plant model organism thale cress and the two crops cabbage and tomatoes react to rising ambient temperatures. They increased the ambient temperature from 20 to 28°C (68 to 82.4 degrees Fahrenheit). “Until now, it was assumed that the plant shoot controlled the process for the entire plant and acted as a long-distance transmitter that signalled to the root that it should alter its growth,” says Professor Marcel Quint from the Institute of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences at MLU. His team has now been able to disprove this through extensive experiments in cooperation with researchers from the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB), ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne. In one experiment, scientists cut off the shoot of the plants but allowed the roots to continue to grow. “We found that the roots were not affected by this and grew at elevated temperatures in the same way as on plants with intact shoots. The higher temperature stimulated cell division and the roots became significantly longer,” says Quint. The team also used mutant plants whose shoots could no longer detect and respond to higher temperatures. Those were grafted onto roots without this defect. Here, too, the roots were able to react to the heat in the soil, even though the shoot did nothing. The researchers found in all of their experiments that root cells increased the production of the growth hormone auxin, which was then transported to the root tips. There, it stimulated cell division and enabled the roots to reach further down into the soil. “As heat and drought usually occur in tandem, it makes sense for the plants to tap into deeper and cooler soil layers that contain water,” Quint explains. Scientists have understood how plant shoots react to higher temperatures for some time. Their cells also produce more auxin, but the plant reacts differently than its roots. The cells in the shoot stretch, the stalk grows taller, and the leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. The study also provides new insights for plant breeding. “In view of climate change, root growth is becoming more and more important for breeding. Understanding the molecular basis for temperature-dependent root growth might help to effectively equip plants against drought stress and achieve stable yields in the long term,” says Quint. Quint’s team will continue its work in this field of research in the coming years. A few weeks ago, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) granted him around 500,000 euros for a new research project on precisely this topic. The study was funded by the DFG, the Chinese Scholarship Fund, the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the Max Planck Society.

[gastroenterologyucgconferences]

What exactly is Neurogastroenterology? At the 13GHUCG23, you will have the opportunity to learn about from our international specialists.

Have you heard of the field of neurogastroenterology? While it's a mouthful, if you have IBS, IBD, or another functional gut illness, neurogastroenterology is something you should be enthusiastic about! Read on to learn everything you need to know about neurogastroenterology and what it can do for you.

What exactly is Neurogastroenterology?

I had a lot of questions when I initially found the topic of neurogastroenterology! What exactly is neurogastroenterology? Is a neurologist or a gastroenterologist a neurogastroenterologist? Is it something altogether new? How does one go about becoming a neurogastroenterologist? What is the role of a neurogastroenterologist?

I asked Dr. Martin Storr, Professor of Gastroenterology at the University of Munich and President of the German Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, these and other issues.

Storr noted that "neurogastroenterology is a term designating gastroenterologists with a scientific interest and an academic background in Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)." It entails specifically studying the systems in the body involved with FGIDs and IBD.

What Impact Does Neurgastroenterology Have on IBS?

Storr responded, "neurogastroenterologists provide a broad background of knowledge which can help identify the most promising treatment approach for patients."

He also stated that a neurogastroenterologist may spend more time listening to patients' problems and thoroughly explaining what is going on and what should be done about it. This startlingly new viewpoint would almost certainly help eliminate the myth that IBS is a "diagnosis of exclusion" or a "trashcan diagnosis." This image of IBS, however, is still widely held in the IBS community.

In reality, the 2016 modifications to the ROME IV criteria classify IBS as a distinct and well-defined illness. When queried about IBS as an exclusion diagnosis, Storr dismissed these claims as "mediaeval." He elaborated on this remark, saying:

Modern IBS diagnosis methods have become more standardised and based on cardinal symptoms in recent years. This enables faster and more exact diagnosis while also reducing the amount of unneeded tests, which I believe is a very welcome development. Modern IBS diagnostic algorithms follow a well-defined path and allow for a positive diagnosis of IBS or any other FGID. Although there is still a dearth of clear communication, "trash can diagnosis" is a thing of the past.

Check read this post to learn more about the particular criteria required for an IBS diagnosis.

What Impact Will Neurgastroenterology Have on Future Research?

While neurogastroenterology is still a relatively new specialty, it has already had a favourable impact on IBS and other FGID research. This research involves, among other things, studies on the brain-gut axis, the micro biota, inflammation, and dietary practises.

The Low FODMAP Diet and Neurogastroenterology

While researchers have been unable to integrate their knowledge of the brain-gut axis and the macrobiotic into useful pharmacological therapy, one discipline of neurogastroenterology has made significant progress. "It's nutrition," Storr explains. "The development of the low-FODMAP diet resulted in a fundamental change for IBS patients, and introducing the low-FODMAP diet has changed the lives of many patients."

Last Thoughts

That was a lot of information, so let's break it down! A gastroenterologist having a scientific interest and academic background in Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is known as a neurogastroenterologist. While the discipline of neurogastroenterology may be new to you and me, these researchers have been hard at work learning about everything from the brain-gut axis and the microbiota to the way our muscles move or don't move, to the way our nutrition directly affects our bodies.

While some of this research has yet to be translated into a treatment protocol, a new medicine, or, better still, a cure, key advances such as the invention of the Low FODMAP Diet have directly benefited the lives of IBS sufferers. So, keep a watch out for future breakthroughs in this intriguing field of study!

Don't forget to share this post if you enjoyed it! We'll get the low FODMAP diet down to a science together!
