Un paseo por su historia

Storified by martimonistrol · Tue, Jan 26 2016 12:31:40

Agentes rurales participando en un censo de aves acuáticas en el río Ripoll.
#AgentsRurals participen en el cens internacional d'#aus aquàtiques hivernans al riu #Ripoll i riu #Besos https://t.co/QysuBUIl1u · Agents Rurals
Pero la historia de este río no ha sido siempre tan idílica.
Nuestros antecesores del paleolítico ya aprovechaban su curso para abastecerse de agua, leña y alimentos.
Y los romanos se asentaron en sus márgenes, fundando la villa de Arraona en lo que actualmente es el término municipal de Sabadell.
Posteriormente, fue durante la edad media cuando empezaron a construirse algunos molinos para aprovechar la corriente de sus aguas.
Pero es con la revolución industrial que aparece un uso extensivo y depredador de sus aguas.
Durante el segle XIX la ciudad de Sabadell se especializa en la producción textil y situa al lado del río las industrias dedicadas al tinte y los acabados.
La utilización de sustancias altamente contaminantes en los procesos industriales durante el siglo XX y la explotación intensiva del acuífero del río rompen el delicado equilibrio que durante siglos se había mantenido entre la explotación agrícola, la industrial, el ocio y los recursos naturales. Las aguas estaban gravemente contaminadas. Ya solo quedaron huertos marginales con escasas condiciones higiénicas rodeados de industrias que se ampliaban sin una ordenación previa ni planificación de infraestructura urbanística alguna.
El territorio natural del río no podía absorver el gran impacto industrial de una territorio que en 20 años había triplicado su población y el Ripoll pasó a ser sólo conocido por sus altísimos índices de contaminación.
Poco sirve de consuelo que, desgraciadamente,esto fue un hecho habitual en zonas europeas altamente industrializadas durante la revolución industrial.
E incluso actualmente siga ocurriendo en otras zonas de nuestro planeta.
Pero llegan los años 80 del pasado siglo.
Y una combinación de profunda crisis de la industria textil, junto con un cambio político y social, lleva a que vuelva con fuerza el interés popular por su río y su regeneración como espacio natural y de ocio.

"Mio padre ha provato ad insegnarmi le emozioni umane...sono difficili"Sonny,I,Robot

Attraverso le nove storie percorse da Isaac Asimov nel suo libro intitolato"Io, Robot",ci troviamo dinanzi il sorprendente mondo della robotica ,di quelle che l'autore ne considera le leggi fondamentali e del rapporto con il genere umano ,l'etica, la paura del <<nuovo>>.

Storified by Chiaras · Wed, Jan 27 2016 12:55:31

Tratta dal film ispirato all'opera di Asimov, l'affermazione del robot protagonista Sonny risulta davvero incisiva e fuorviante. E' ,infatti, proprio il tema emozionale,affettivo che ci mette in difficoltà dinanzi tutto il mondo dei robot e del concetto di "macchina"in generale. Come si può cercare di smorzare attraverso l'uso dei robot ,tutto ciò che rende l'uomo l'essere più sorprendente e ciò che ne rende l'esistenza autentica,ossia le emozioni,le pulsazioni,le passioni,la creatività ,la fantasia? Basti pensare alla rivoluzione Romantica,cosa ha portato con sè e come ha cambiato la vita umana per capire quanto sia fondamentale la sfera intima,emozionale dell'uomo,il suo universo interiore. O ancora andando più lontano a Socrate ,il primo che ha riconosciuto l'esistenza di un mondo interiore ,del valore del sentimento!Allora viene da chiedersi ,si tratta di progresso o regresso?Eppure per Asimov la conoscenza della tecnica è un trampolino di lancio verso nuove e sorprendenti scoperte ,come quelle in ambito robotico, di cui non bisogna affatto aver paura ma con saggezza saperle comprendere ed apprezzare.E' questa la provocazione di Asimov ,fare i conti con un mondo ,quello dei robot,più umano del nostro forse,delle nostre presunzioni di superiorità e onnipotenza,degli incolmabili pregiudizi.
A tal propposito merita di essere visionata qui una delle scende più cruciali del film "Io, Robot" tratto dal libro.
IO, ROBOT: Interrogatorio del robot · momentiALTATENSIONE

Di cosa parla l'opera di Asimov?Qual è il punto di vista ?

E ciò si evince chiaramente attraverso le nove storie del libro ,da "Robbie" al "Circolo vizioso","Essere razionale" e così via.L'intento di Asimov è chiaramente reagire ,in particolar modo attraverso il primo dei nove racconti "Robbie" all'idea di robot <<come minaccia>>.E' in due categorie infatti che l'autore suddivide i robot,la prima di robot visti come minaccia ,gli altri sono robot <<stile patetico>>.L'approccio dell'autore è quello di portare il lettore all'abbandono del pregiudizio che vede i robot e il nuovo come qualcosa che possa minare l'uomo e la sua vita, promuovendo un atteggiamento aperto ad accogliere una realtà nuova che regolata da leggi ben chiare non può far altro che arricchire la vita umana.Anzi, potremo dire, che è proprio la scelta dell'autore di stabilire delle leggi all'interno di questo mondo a promuovere e sollecitare nel lettore l'interazione con il mondo della tecnologia e della robotica .Infatti è la scelta di darsi delle leggi forse la scelta più civile e umana di sempre .Ma quali sono queste leggi?

Le tre leggi della robotica

1.Un robot non può recar danno a un essere umano né può permettere che, a causa del proprio mancato intervento, un essere umano riceva danno.
2.Un robot deve obbedire agli ordini impartiti dagli esseri umani, purché tali ordini non contravvengano alla Prima Legge.
3.Un robot deve proteggere la propria esistenza, purché questa autodifesa non contrasti con la Prima o con la Seconda Legge. »
(Manuale di Robotica, 56ª Edizione - 2058 d.C.[1])
Partendo dalle considerazioni e sollecitazioni di Asimov, sono tante le opere cinematografiche e non di carattere fantascientifico che da sempre hanno presentato il mondo dei robot come un mondo tutt'altro che offensivo ma innocuo e perchè no, con quella componente così sorprendentemente umana ma nella sua accezione migliore ossia in altruismo,generosità,cortesia.
E' quanto si celebra in uno dei film-capolavoro di Robin Williams,intitolato "L'uomo bicententenario",forse tra le migliori prestazioni dell'attore. Andrew,robot-elettrodomestico, arriva a mostrare capacità assolutamente superiori rispetto ad un robot normale fino ad instaurare con la sua famiglia un legame di profondo affetto,fiducia,amore.
L'uomo bicentenario · andryTotorn
Non a caso lo sfondo della mia storia è tratto da una scena culmine del film, in quanto meglio porta ad interiorizzare come il mondo della tecnologia può e deve essere concepito come qualcosa che non può far altro che migliorare la vita dell'uomo, compensandone i limiti.Senza entrare in competizione: questo è il punto.Andrew come il Robbie di Asimov sono la prova e provocazione allo stesso tempo di una realtà in cui il mondo dell'uomo e della tecnologia sono in perfetta armonia .Non si tratta di sostituire ciò di quanto l'uomo ha dentro di più meraviglioso e unico da trasmettere ma di comprendere e promuovere un'idea diversa della stessa tecnologia.
Se volessimo fare degli esempi di come la tecnologia abbia migliorato la vita umana,ebbene essi sarebbero chiaramente infiniti. Tuttavia non si può non far riferimento al più evidente e lampante di tali esempi in ambito medico, dove grazie alle applicazioni delle più sofisticate tecnologie, si è potuti intervenire anche dove sembrava impossibile.
Ma soprattutto risultano sorprendenti ,in relazione alla tematica della robotica proprosta da Asimov ,le sue applicazioni e relazioni in ambito formativo ed educativo .A testimonianza di ciò un intervista a uno dei gruppi di Robotica Educativa in merito alla loro esperienza nella scuola.
Ecco che ,senza allontanarci e perdere di vista quello che rimane il fine ultimo di ogni insegnante e della scuola,non si può non prendere in considerazione il cambiamento ogni giorno in atto per effetto dell'influenza nuove tecnologie nelle nostre vite dinanzi al quale si può decidere di scappare in maniera anacronistica e improduttiva oppure di buttarcisi dentro e con equilibrio e saggezza affrontare una convivenza armoniosa e produttiva con il mondo delle tecnologie e a tale tipo di rapporto educare le nuove generazioni.
La tecnologia rimane pur sempre frutto di ciò che di più sorprendente caratterizza e forse rende tale l'uomo: il suo pensiero. Farne uso in maniera equilibrata e saggia ,questa la chiave di lettura.
A conclusione ,le parole dell'autore:

Storified by Wholloiuse91 · Wed, Jan 27 2016 12:55:45

There are a number of kinds of hydroponics systems ranging from fundamental to more complex. If you decide to buy a system initially, when you begin to make your very own, you can use parts from your purchase to build your new one.

Here is a system that you can check out making for yourself.
Glass bubbler hydroponics system - This is most likely the most fundamental system and simplest making. Your plants root system will hang down into a container of oxygenated water and nutrients. You can save cash on this system due to the fact that you can use household items to keep the plant sitting on top of the water. , if you have any Styrofoam laying around from old boxes or cups you can use these products.. You can cut holes into a plastic bowl cover or other items you have around the house.

Other products you will have to complete this hydroponics system is

1. Plastic container - to hold your cups or whatever you chose to hold your plants.

2. Lid - to fit over the container. You will cut your holes in this to sit your plants down into.

3. Air pump - If you have actually seen an air pump in a fish bowl this is precisely what you require.

4. Air stone - Same as you have actually seen in a fishbowl once more.

5. Air tubing - Utilized to link your pump to your stone.

6. Development medium - You can clean gravel, usage charcoal like in fishbowls, perlite, and others.

I would recommend that you buy a complete hydroponics system starting out to see one established and how it works initially. After that move on to making your own.

Bubbler hydroponics system - This is most likely the many basic system and easiest to make. Your plants root system will hang down into a container of oxygenated water and nutrients. You can conserve money on this system due to the fact that you can utilize household products to keep the plant sitting on top of the water. If you have any Styrofoam laying around from old boxes or cups you can utilize these products.

Storified by snoring62 · Thu, Jan 28 2016 13:16:58

Almost everybody snores occasionally, but if this problem happens more frequently then, it might result in insufficient or improper sleep. This could further lead to fatigue, irritation and increased health and mental problems. However, you don't need to be worried as there are many treatments for snoring and if you are suffering from this problem then the following points can prove very useful for you.
