👉 A new group of 53 PANSA #ATCO's candidates began their two-year challenging training last week. As many as 14 of them are women - which is more than 26 per cent. Until now, there has not been a training group in which one in four candidates is a woman. The average age of trainees just starting their preparation is 25. The majority have a university degree - 33 people - and 20 have a high school diploma. A high school education is enough to apply for a ATCO licence 🛫 👉 More you will find here in Polish: https://lnkd.in/dPtMgKWm ✈️ 👉 And this coming Monday, the premiere of the 12th episode of the PANSA podcast "Wysokie Loty", in which I will discuss with Bartosz Orłowski, Deputy Director of the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency Training Office, the complexities and specifics of training candidates for air traffic controllers at each stage of the process 🛩️ #PAŻP #PANSA #ATM

“The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed." - William Gibson In healthcare, transformation is not uniform. While some regions and institutions are at the forefront, leveraging cutting-edge technologies, others are still catching up due to resource constraints, regulatory hurdles, or infrastructural challenges. As we navigate this digital revolution, it's crucial to focus on equitable access to these advancements. By sharing knowledge, investing in digital infrastructure, and fostering collaborations, we can ensure that the benefits of digital health reach everyone, everywhere. #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #EquitableAccess #Telemedicine #HealthTech Santander X Santander Bank Polska EIT Health InnoStars

💡 🌳 News from Miasto Poznań: A new mural has been unveiled at 26 Św. Wawrzyńca Street, celebrating the “Green Poznań” competition, which has been inspiring residents for over 30 years. This artwork not only invites people to participate but also promotes eco-friendly values and helps reduce air pollution. This positive impact is achieved through the use of a special photocatalytic paint. The mural was painted with photocatalytic paints that absorb street pollutants, such as exhaust fumes and smog. Through a photocatalytic process, which activates in the presence of light and oxygen, these pollutants are oxidized when they contact the painted surface, transforming them into substances harmless to health and the environment. By harnessing this effect, the mural’s paint breaks down harmful organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and even ozone, contributing to a cleaner urban atmosphere. 👇 https://lnkd.in/dgVwY22J

#BREAKING: I just received the 2023 results for UAB #Bifinity, owned by Binance founder #ChangpengZhao, in #Lithuania. Revenue decreased by about 50% to EUR 229.8m, but the EUR 42.9m loss from the previous year was replaced by a EUR 105m net profit. Bifinity, which appointed a new CEO, Jonas Jünger, last year, also reported paying EUR 30m in taxes in Lithuania over the past 12 months. In the last three years, they have paid approximately EUR 50m in income taxes alone. A link to my interview with Jonas is in the comments.

FOR DISCUSSION WHAT IS CAUSING THE GROWTH OF EXTREME RAINFALL In connection with the flood disaster that affected Southern Germany, I took the liberty of offering knowledge from Slovakia that is not perceived among water and climate experts. We tend to argue that such flood disasters are caused by climate change, which is allegedly related to the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere from human industrial activity. However, the research we did in Slovakia confirms that the changes in the distribution of precipitation were already at a time when CO2 was not growing, i.e. it was well below 350 ppm per cubic meter of air. We did this research in the 90s of the last century in order to have arguments why it is necessary to start the full-scale ecosystem restoration of the damaged landscape and not to invest money in mega dams. Part of this research, which we published in Slovak in 2000, I offer here. I do this so that we look objectively at what is happening around us and do not panic, and seriously consider how to proceed. I remind you that Slovakia is a mountainous landscape, with 41 percent forested mountain areas. The rest of the landscape is agriculturally industrialized, urbanized and drained. This trend of land use was started after the socialist revolution after World War II. Notice the graphs in the picture. They show the trends of changes in monthly precipitation totals over a period of 70 years (1900-70) for the whole of Slovakia (Graph 1), for mountainous areas above 500 m above sea level (dominantly forested area – Graph 2) and the trend of changes in precipitation for relatively lowland areas with an altitude of less than 500 m (Graph 3). All three graphs show an increase in monthly precipitation in the summer and a decrease in the rest of the year. The largest increase in precipitation is in mountainous areas and the smallest in lowland areas. It is related to the drying of the land, and those parts of the land that overheat faster from drought produce heat into the troposphere, which, according to the laws of physics, affects the formation of clouds in the sky and changes in their abundance. Once again, I remind you that these changes took place in Slovakia in the years when CO2 had not yet become a scarecrow of mankind.

How- and when- will Russia's invasion of Ukraine end? How will that end shape transatlantic relations- and vice versa? President Pavel discussed this issue with Pravo recently. He presented realistic scenarios of how the fighting might end, and how long the negotiations over occupied territories might take. His views on how the US election will impact the conflict covered the basics. However, US politics cannot be assessed only on who sits in the Oval Office. It also depends on the balance of power in Congress, and who presides over the Senate and House. The Republicans are favored to win the Senate. If they do, the question is whether Mitch McConnell will continue to lead. He is a strong supporter of Ukraine. If he does not, Ukraine policy will be heavily influenced by whomever replaces him, and the team of people around him. If the Democrats maintain power, Chuck Schumer will probably continue to lead the body. He is a supporter of Ukraine. The House is considered a toss-up, with the Democrats holding an advantage well within the margin of polling error. If the Democrats win, Hakeem Jeffries will likely be Speaker of the House, and he has viewed supporting Ukraine favorably. If the Republicans, a skeptical Mike Johnson may continue as Speaker, but whoever is elected is more likely to question continued support of Ukraine. Czechia, and Europe, should consider a longer term shift that is occurring no matter who wins the election. The Baby Boom generation is being retired from active political life. The center of power in the US economy is shifting to the West Coast. If Kamala Harris is elected, she will be the first US president with no European lineage. That reflects the increased importance of other global regions to the US's economic, cultural, and societal make-up. Europe is still, by far, the key partner for technological advance. We both need each other to continue to make the scientific discoveries and the technological breakthroughs that power the prosperity of our economies. The world needs that innovative partnership if we are overcome climate change without great cost. That is why AmCham CZ has been advocating the transatlantic relationship center itself on technological progress. As the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic discusses the economy strategy proposed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, they will elevate the investment in this partnership to a core position.

There was so much going on during yesterday's Inauguration Ceremony of the 11th Edition of Fundacja Liderek Biznesu Mentoring Program. 💎The discussion on the "Professions of the Future" left me with belief that AI will not replace leaders, but it can certainly strengthen them. Leaders' technological "literacy" (in Polish: alfabetyzm technologiczny) will be necessary to be present on the market and succeed. 💎In turn, after the session describing "How to take care of yourself wisely and consciously build the quality of your life", I got a new perspective on the concept of "responsibility", which we understand as a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone. But if we look at this word from the perspective of “Response-Ability", it changes its definition to having the ability to respond to everything that occurs in our life. I dug deeper into that and found this on Response-Ability (via TABATHA DAVIS): “It shows that no matter how much you try to fit in with society, if it is not in your ability then you will never have a response (no responsibility). It shows when you apply for a job in which you have no ability… then you will not have a response (no responsibility). It shows when you are in over your head, dealing with a situation in which you do not have the ability to overcome… you do not have a response (no responsibility).” Such an approach indeed helps "responsibility" not to be so much of a burden to us😊. As if that wouldn’t be enough I met some of my friends and colleagues, who have also joined this program as Mentors. Sylwia Kraska and Joanna Krzystanek, it was so nice to see you yesterday🫶.

Yesterday during #StrongerTogether - meeting for top managers BNP Paribas Bank Polska, we had the opportunity and privilege to host Aric Dromi, futurologist, social and technology strategist and innovatian expert on mobility, logistics, the future of urban structures and AI. Aric shared with us his knowledge and experience on, among others: AI and leadership: 👉🏻 We tend to look at AI as technology. We forget it’s a philosophical umbrella that becomes real because of certain types of technology under it, like machine learning, like computer vision, like self-adjusted algorithms, and so on.  👉🏻 And artificial and intelligence are literally contradicting terms, so I’ve started to call it inorganic intelligence. I see it as an extension of human potential. I think we can use these technologies to create better doctors, better lawyers, better accountants, better drivers—a better society.  👉🏻 We can use technology for our benefit, we can come together with collaboration, resilience and repurposing, to help us now and moving forward. 👉🏻The big problem for a company today is to rethink its culture and its internal behavior. Most innovation is happening because of competition, not because of curiosity. Building curiosity rather than copying ideas and technologies will determine a company’s success in the future. 👉🏻Innovation isn’t conceived on command. Innovation comes from the bottom, up or from the outside, in – not the top, down. Aric left us with many thoughts💡that will stay with us for a long time and will be an inspiration for further action. Aric, thank you🙏🏼, it was an extraordinary intellectual feast for us.

Have you ever felt that constantly following social media and chasing trends makes you feel overwhelmed? 🤯 Discover JOMO the joy of missing out. It's the complete opposite of FOMO (fear of missing out). JOMO is a conscious "disconnection" from online stimuli and celebrating the moment. Why is it worth trying? 🔍 ✅ Reduced stress. ✅ Increased sense of peace. ✅ Easier to achieve mental balance. By consciously choosing offline mode, we give our brain time to rest from the constant stimulation of the digital world. When was the last time you gave your mind a rest? 💭 #JOMO #socialmedia #selfwork #reflect
