Ilha espanhola testa aplicativo contra covid-19 que simula surto

Expectativa é que 3 mil habitantes baixem o aplicativo Borja Suarez/Reuters 2.2.2020

Moradores da ilha espanhola La Gomera começaram a baixar um aplicativo para impedir a propagação de infecções por covid-19, programa piloto que simula um surto da doença.

Se o teste for bem-sucedido na ilha, com uma população de cerca de 22 mil habitantes, uma das menores do arquipélago das ilhas Canárias, ele pode ser realizado em todo o país.

Autoridades fornecerão aos usuários códigos gerados aleatoriamente, alguns dos quais mostrarão que são positivos para a covid-19 dentro da simulação, para registrar contatos entre pessoas que usam a tecnologia bluetooth e alertá-las se tiverem contato com um dos “casos positivos”.

Os organizadores esperam que 3.000 pessoas façam o download do aplicativo, permitindo simular 300 diagnósticos positivos no sistema, uma taxa de infecção de 10%.

A Espanha está testando uma ferramenta baseada em um padrão desenvolvido pela Apple e Google pelo que já foi usado por países como a Alemanha. Ele contém dados sobre dispositivos para preservar a privacidade do usuário - uma das principais preocupações à medida que tecnologias semelhantes são lançadas em todo o mundo.

Joel Serafin, técnico florestal de 46 anos que se ofereceu para ajudar as pessoas a baixar o aplicativo em San Sebastián, a principal cidade de La Gomera, disse que as pessoas estão menos receosas com a privacidade do que ele esperava.

“De cada 10 pessoas que me procuram, talvez apenas uma pergunte sobre a questão da privacidade, as outras não se importam”, disse ele.

Duke Kahanamoku reflects on surfing, Olympics, and old Hawaii in 1966 interview

Duke Kahanamoku is the most influential surfer of all time and is often hailed as the father of modern surfing. There is nearly no one questioning these titles. Recently, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Hawaii unveiled a never-before-seen interview with the legendary surfer and Olympic swimmer. In the 1966 episode of Pau Hana Years, a seminal Hawaii television program that aired on KHET-TV (now PBS Hawaii) for 16 years, running from 1966 until 1982, Bob Barker chats with Duke Kahanamoku, then 76. The conversation drifts from royal ancestry to Olympic lanes, from Hollywood sets to a surfboard shaped by hand, tracing the outline of a life that helped define modern surfing and Hawaii's public image in the 20th century. And if you know little about the man who dreamed of getting surfing into the Olympic Games, this is a precious piece of history. A name with history, worn casually The interview starts with Kahanamoku explaining that "Duke" is not a title but his giv...

The hydrodynamics of surfboard fins

Have you ever wondered why a surfboard fin looks like that? It is a single or a set of fixed blades or keels located under a board, near the tail, often no bigger than a hand. Yet that small surface is where much of the surfboard's behavior takes place. Speed, hold, looseness, and the feeling of control all trace back to how water moves around fins. The physics of surfboard fins falls under hydrodynamics, the study of how fluids behave in motion. So, according to science, they feature a shape designed to turn flowing water into several forces. Let's take a look at what's at stake when fins and water interact. Lift and the feeling of control One of the key variables in hydrodynamic terms involving surfboard fins is lift. When a surfer leans into a turn, the board tilts and the fins meet the water at an angle. The angle is enough to create a pressure difference between the two sides of the fin. Water speeds up on one side and slows on the other. The result is a sidewa...

How paddleboarding transforms your body and mind

Adventure is on our doorstep. With so many different bodies of water available to paddleboarders, from city canals to coastal routes, we can find adventure in places much closer to home than people might initially expect. According to the Canal and River Trust, 50 percent of people in England and Wales live within just eight kilometers of a canal or river, and eight million people live less than one kilometer away. I had lived within just a few kilometers of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for years and never really explored it before stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) came into my life . The challenge created both a new perspective and a deeper love for where I lived and the areas which I passed through. On my coast-to-coast journey, I slept in my own bed for two nights as the route passed through my then hometown of Skipton, yet I felt I was on a grand journey of discovery. We are braver, stronger, and more resilient than we think. SUP not only helps us feel more connected to our va...
