Europeus temem expansão do conflito caso a Rússia não seja detida no confronto contra a Ucrânia. Possível eleição de Donald Trump alimenta incertezas sobre liderança dos EUA na Otan.A Otan está levando muito a sério a eventualidade de um futuro confronto com a Rússia. A aliança militar deu início na semana passada ao maior exercício militar desde o fim da Guerra Fria, chamado Steadfast Defender, do qual 90 mil soldados participam de manobras em países europeus até o fim de maio.
Cerca de 50 navios de guerra, 80 aeronaves e 1.100 veículos de combate participarão das manobras, que são as maiores desde a operação Reforger, em 1988, em plena Guerra Fria, quando a União Soviética ainda existia.
Os soldados vêm de todos os 31 países da Otan, bem como da Suécia, que se encontra em processo de adesão. Eles se preparam para um cenário hipotético no qual a Rússia teria atacado um país da aliança militar.
O Steadfast Defender tem o objetivo de mostrar que a Otan é capaz e está disposta a reforçar seu flanco oriental por meio do envio rápido e maciço de tropas. O exercício consiste no rápido deslocamento de grandes unidades de combate pela Europa Central, Norte da Europa e Sul da Europa para o flanco oriental da Otan.
Trump: contra a Otan
O temor de um futuro confronto com a Rússia cresceu depois da invasão da Ucrânia, há dois anos. E aumentou ainda mais com a dianteira do ex-presidente Donald Trump nas primárias do Partido Republicano. Tudo indica que ele será o adversário do presidente Joe Biden na eleição de novembro.
Quando era presidente dos EUA, Trump ameaçou tirar o país da Otan - e já expressou admiração pelo presidente russo, Vladimir Putin. Líderes militares e ministros da Defesa da Europa temem que, caso o republicano volte ao poder, haja um enfraquecimento da liderança dos EUA dentro da aliança militar.
Em paralelo, cresce também o temor de que a Rússia não seja derrotada na guerra contra a Ucrânia, que, segundo relatos, está estagnada. Diante desse cenário, não são poucas as vozes na Europa que alertam para os riscos de uma expansão da guerra e para a possibilidade de a Europa ter de se defender sozinha de um eventual ataque da Rússia.
Putin nega
"Quem acha que se trata apenas da Ucrânia está fundamentalmente equivocado", disse o presidente ucraniano, Volodimir Zelenski, durante o recente Fórum Econômico Mundial, em Davos. O ministro alemão da Defesa, Boris Pistorius, foi ainda mais claro. "Temos que levar em conta que Putin um dia atacará até mesmo um país da Otan", declarou ao jornal Der Tagesspiegel.
Esses temores são especialmente fortes em países vizinhos da Rússia, como a Estônia. Mas Pistorius esclareceu que não considera haver um risco imediato de que isso aconteça. "Nossos especialistas contam com um período de cinco a oito anos, em que isso poderia ser possível."
O primeiro-ministro britânico, Rishi Sunak, afirmou que o enfraquecimento do apoio à Ucrânia pode fortalecer os inimigos do Ocidente. "Se Putin ganhar na Ucrânia, não vai ficar por aqui", afirmou numa entrevista recente ao lado de Zelenski, em Kiev.
Já Putin nega ter essas intenções. Ele já assegurou à televisão russa não ter nenhum interesse em lutar contra países da Otan, "nem geopolítico, nem econômico, nem político, nem militar" - mas ele também havia negado que iria invadir a Ucrânia.

Europeans fear an expansion of the conflict if Russia is not stopped in the confrontation against Ukraine. Possible election of Donald Trump fuels uncertainty about US leadership in NATO. NATO is taking the possibility of a future confrontation with Russia very seriously. Last week, the military alliance began the largest military exercise since the end of the Cold War, called Steadfast Defender, in which 90,000 soldiers will participate in maneuvers in European countries until the end of May.
Around 50 warships, 80 aircraft and 1,100 combat vehicles will participate in the maneuvers, which are the largest since Operation Reforger in 1988, in the middle of the Cold War, when the Soviet Union still existed.
The soldiers come from all 31 NATO countries, as well as Sweden, which is in the process of joining. They are preparing for a hypothetical scenario in which Russia would attack a country in the military alliance.
Steadfast Defender aims to show that NATO is capable and willing to reinforce its eastern flank through rapid and massive deployment of troops. The exercise consists of the rapid deployment of large combat units across Central Europe, Northern Europe and Southern Europe to NATO's eastern flank.
Trump: against NATO
Fears of a future confrontation with Russia grew after the invasion of Ukraine two years ago. And it increased even more with former President Donald Trump's lead in the Republican Party primaries. Everything indicates that he will be President Joe Biden's opponent in the November election.
When he was US president, Trump threatened to take the country out of NATO - and has already expressed admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin. European military leaders and defense ministers fear that, if the Republican returns to power, there will be a weakening of US leadership within the military alliance.
In parallel, fears are also growing that Russia will not be defeated in the war against Ukraine, which, according to reports, is stagnating. Faced with this scenario, there are many voices in Europe that warn of the risks of an expansion of the war and the possibility of Europe having to defend itself against a possible attack from Russia.
Putin denies
"Anyone who thinks this is just about Ukraine is fundamentally mistaken," said Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski during the recent World Economic Forum in Davos. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius was even clearer. "We have to take into account that Putin will one day attack even a NATO country," he told Der Tagesspiegel newspaper.
These fears are especially strong in countries neighboring Russia, such as Estonia. But Pistorius clarified that he does not consider there to be an immediate risk of this happening. "Our experts expect a period of five to eight years in which this could be possible."
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said weakening support for Ukraine could strengthen the West's enemies. "If Putin wins in Ukraine, he won't stay here," he said in a recent interview alongside Zelensky in Kiev.
Putin, on the other hand, denies having these intentions. He has already assured Russian television that he has no interest in fighting NATO countries, "neither geopolitical, nor economic, nor political, nor military" - but he had also denied that he would invade Ukraine.
Desde a escola, nas aulas de geografia, somos ensinados a confiar no mapa da Terra. Mas você sabia que não existe um mapa do nosso planeta que seja considerado "perfeito"? Pelo desafio de representar uma superfície tridimensional em um plano bidimensional, todos os mapas contam com algum tipo de distorção.
Para representar essa superfície curva e tridimensional da Terra em um plano bidimensional, é preciso fazer todo um cálculo matemático. É aí que entram as projeções cartográficas, ou seja, técnicas de matemática utilizadas para representar com a maior precisão possível os aspectos da superfície curva da Terra em um mapa plano, com a menor quantidade de distorções.
Existem diferentes tipos de projeções cartográficas, e cada uma segue as características e propriedades. A escolha de uma projeção depende dos objetivos específicos do mapa.
O mapa mais famoso é baseado na Projeção de Mercator, e é usado especialmente para navegação marítima. No entanto, como já é de se imaginar, apresenta distorções de tamanho, tornando as áreas próximas aos polos maiores do que realmente são.
A projeção é particularmente útil para a navegação porque preserva os ângulos, então os marinheiros podem traçar cursos usando bússolas e transferir esses cursos diretamente para o mapa de Mercator, mantendo a direção correta.
Embora as distorções sejam uma desvantagem para mapas que visam representar áreas precisamente, a projeção de Mercator continua sendo popular para mapas náuticos e para aplicações em que a preservação dos ângulos é crucial. .
Outro mapa famoso (e que costuma ser mais utilizado para fins educacionais) é o baseado na projeção de Robinson, que busca um equilíbrio entre distorções de tamanho e forma, mas também não é completamente livre de distorções, principalmente em áreas mais distantes do equador.
Os pesquisadores da área ainda buscam o desenvolvimento de um mapa que seja o mais próximo possível de confiável. Mas para saber qual o mais próximo da realidade, professores da Princeton University (EUA) criaram um sistema que dá pontuação para os mapas ao medir distorções.
À época, a selecionada pcomo a mais confiável por esse sistema de pontuação foi a projeção, criada em 1921 pelo cartógrafo alemão Oswald Winkel e refinada por Heinrich Tripel em 1929. É uma técnica que busca uma boa aproximação das áreas reais das diferentes regiões do globo e tenta minimizar a distorção de área, proporcionando uma representação mais equitativa:
Mas alguns anos depois, esses pesquisadores de Princeton resolveram criar o próprio mapa, mostrando os hemisférios oriental e ocidental ou os hemisférios norte e sul. Os detalhes foram divulgados na plataforma aRxiv, que veicula estudos não revisados por pares.
"O Winkel Tripel foi a melhor pontuação de todas as projeções conhecida. Apresentamos uma classe nova de mapas planos que possuem topologia correta e pontuações de erro melhoradas. Acreditamos que seja o mapa plano da Terra mais preciso até agora. Também mostramos mapas de outros objetos do sistema solar e mapas do céu", diz o relatório.

In an unidentified laboratory located between Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a splinter group of scientists is searching for the next billion-dollar drug. Funded with $500 million from some of America's richest business families, the group has caused a stir in the academic world by offering seven-figure salaries to attract qualified university professors for a treasure hunt. His self-declared goal: to avoid the barriers and bureaucracy that slow down the traditional paths of scientific research at universities and pharmaceutical companies, and to discover a range of new medicines (initially for cancer and brain diseases) that can be produced and sold quickly .
Startup braggadocio is customary, and many former academics have founded biotechnology companies, eager to get rich from their great discovery.
This group, called Arena BioWorks, a name proudly borrowed from a Teddy Roosevelt quote, doesn't have a singular idea, but a big checkbook. "I make no apologies for being a capitalist, and that motivation is not a bad thing," said technology mogul Michael Dell, one of the group's major financiers. Others include an heir to the Subway fortune and an owner of the Boston Celtics.
The problem is that, over the decades, many drug discoveries have not only originated at colleges and universities, but have also generated profit, which has helped fill their coffers. The University of Pennsylvania, for example, said it made hundreds of millions of dollars from research into mRNA vaccines used against Covid. Under this model, any profits would remain private.
The Arena has been operating in stealth mode since early fall, before turmoil between Israel and Hamas erupted on neighboring campuses. But the motivation behind it, according to researchers who have moved to the new lab, is becoming increasingly acute as the reputation of higher education institutions erodes.
They say they are frustrated by the slow pace and administrative problems of their former employers, as well as what a new hire, J. Keith Joung, described as an "atrocious" salary at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he worked before Arena. "Leaving academia to work in industry was once considered a failure. Now, the model has reversed," said Joung, a pathologist who helped design Crispr, a gene editing tool.
The motivation behind Arena has scientific, financial and even emotional components. Its early supporters began discussing the idea at a mansion in Austin, Texas, in late 2021, where Dell, James W. Breyer, an early Facebook investor, and Celtics owner Stephen Pagliuca, vented about the incessant requests of money from college fundraisers.
Pagliuca had donated hundreds of millions of dollars to his home universities, Duke and Harvard, much of it dedicated to the scientific field. This guaranteed him a seat on four advisory boards at the institutions, but he began to realize that he had no concrete idea of what all that money had produced, other than his name on some plaques outside several university buildings.
In the following months, these early supporters rallied behind Thomas Cahill. venture capitalist and Boston doctor to come up with a plan. He said he would help find frustrated academics willing to give up their hard-earned university tenure, as well as scientists at companies like Pfizer, in exchange for a generous share of the profits from any drugs they discover. Arena's billionaire supporters will keep 30 percent, with the rest going to scientists and general expenses.
Of course, science for profit is nothing new; the $1.5 trillion pharmaceutical industry is proof of this. Entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in startups trying to extend human life, and many pharmaceutical companies have recruited talent from universities.
A considerable portion of medicines originates from government or university subsidies, or a combination of both. From 2010 to 2016, each of the 210 new drugs approved by the FDA, the US federal agency responsible for food and drug control, was linked to research funded by the National Institute of Health, according to the scientific journal "PNAS". A 2019 study by a former dean of Harvard Medical School, Jeffrey Flier, stated that most "new discoveries" in biology and disease came from academia.
This system has been bringing advantages for a long time. Often aided by their nonprofit status, universities have an almost limitless supply of low-paid assistants to help scientists with early-stage research. Innovative medicines, including penicillin, were born from this model.
The problem, according to scientists and researchers, is that there is usually a wait of years for institutional approvals from universities to move forward with promising research. The process, which aims to filter unrealistic proposals and ensure safety, usually involves writing long essays that can consume more than half of some scientists' time. By the time funding is granted, the initial idea is often already obsolete, triggering a new cycle of grant requests for projects that will certainly be out of date in time.
Stuart Schreiber, a longtime Harvard-affiliated researcher who left the institution to become Arena's lead scientist, said his most innovative ideas rarely received support. “It got to a point where I realized the only way to get funding was to apply to study something that had already been done,” he commented. The prestige of Schreiber – who is a pioneering chemical biologist in areas such as DNA testing – helped attract around a hundred researchers to the Arena. Harvard declined to comment on his departure and those of others he attracted.
An atmosphere of calculated secrecy has surrounded Arena operations. Joung, who resigned from Massachusetts General Hospital last year, said he did not tell colleagues where he was going and that several asked if he had a serious illness. Cahill said several scientists he hired had their university email access quickly disabled and received severe legal threats of retaliation if they tried to recruit former colleagues — a common phenomenon in the business world but considered a punishment in academia.
The five billionaires backing Arena include Michael Chambers, an industrial mogul and the richest man in North Dakota, and Elisabeth DeLuca, widow of one of the founders of the Subway chain. They each invested US$100 million and expect to double or triple their investment in later rounds.
Schreiber said it will take years — and billions of dollars in additional funding — for the team to figure out whether their model will lead to the production of valuable medicines. "Will it be better or worse? I don't know, but it's worth trying."
Em 1937, ela tinha um plano ainda mais ambicioso: dar a volta no globo. No entanto, em julho daquele ano ela sumiu, e o destino dela e do navegador Fred Noonan nunca foi esclarecido.
Em seu último trecho, ela sobrevoou o Oceano Pacífico, entre a Austrália e o estado do Havaí, nos Estados Unidos. A piloto deveria passar por Howland, uma pequena ilha no meio do caminho, mas nunca chegou.
Dois anos depois, em 1939, Amelia foi declarada morta. Os investigadores concluíram que ela havia caído em algum ponto do Oceano Pacífico, mas a aeronave e os corpos nunca foram encontrados.
Agora, um outro piloto e explorador afirma ter descoberto o local do Oceano Pacífico onde estão os restos da aeronave.
Tony Romeo, um ex-oficial da Aeronáutica dos EUA e atual diretor-executivo da empresa Deep Sea Vision afirma que encontrou o avião de 1937. Ele deu uma entrevista à rede NBC, dos EUA.
Ele fez uma expedição de US$ 11 milhões (R$ 54 milhões) para encontrar o local no fundo do mar. Está sendo usada uma tecnologia de sonares na região onde, suspeita-se, está o avião de Amelia.
A equipe de Romeo capturou dados em dezembro e detectou uma imagem desfocada que tem o formato de um avião. Eles acreditam que é a aeronave que sumiu.
NATO mobilizes 90,000 soldiers for largest military exercise since the Cold War simulating "Russian attack"
In its largest mobilization since the end of the Cold War, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) announced this Thursday (18) that it will call up 90,000 soldiers from member countries and also from Sweden.
The seven joint exercises that will work on the scenario of a “Russian attack” will begin next week and last until mid-May.
Exercises will simulate “Russian attack”
According to NATO's general commander in Europe, General Christopher Cavoli, the alliance will “demonstrate its ability to reinforce the Atlantic and European region with a transatlantic movement of forces”. According to Cavoli, the maneuvers do not have a specific motivation and take place as part of the alliance's annual exercises, however, the size of this year's call is unprecedented since the times of the global bipolar conflict.
Sweden's involvement in the exercises
Interestingly, the exercises will feature the participation of soldiers from Sweden, a country that is not part of the military alliance but has already formally requested membership. In this way, this involvement signals an increasing rapprochement between Sweden and the Western alliance.
Interestingly, the exercises will feature the participation of soldiers from Sweden, a country that is not part of the military alliance but has already formally requested membership. In this way, this involvement signals an increasing rapprochement between Sweden and the Western alliance.
The call for maneuvers coincides with a new phase of tension between NATO and Russia. When it invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Russia justified its action by claiming it was being threatened by NATO, which was in talks with the Ukrainian government about the country's possible entry into the Western military bloc.
Recently, Russia has intensified its airstrikes on major cities in Ukraine in an attempt to display its strength after months without any significant progress on the battlefronts.
Ukraine and the Russian theater of war
Currently, Russian soldiers control around 20% of Ukrainian territory, mainly concentrated in areas in the east and south of the country. NATO's call comes as a direct response to this aggression, reaffirming the alliance's determination to guarantee the collective security of its members in the face of external threats.
NATO, which is an alliance of the Armed Forces of 31 Western countries, including the United States, provides in its founding treaty that an invasion of any of its members implies a collective response from all nations that make up the group. This guarantee of collective security is the basis of the deterrence strategy that NATO has used since its inception.
Jets, helicopters, drones and tanks: what NATO will use in the biggest military exercise since the Cold War
The military will participate in a series of joint exercises that will work with the scenario of a "Russian attack", according to NATO's general commander in Europe, General Christopher Cavoli.
According to NATO, the combat vehicles that will participate in the military exercise are distributed as follows:
The exercises will begin next week and last until mid-May, according to the commander. And they will have the cooperation of soldiers from Sweden, a country that is not yet part of the alliance, but has already formally requested to join.
"The alliance will demonstrate its ability to reinforce the Atlantic and European region with a transatlantic movement of forces," Cavoli said.
The commander stated that the maneuvers have no specific motivation and take place as part of the alliance's annual exercises. But he also said that the call for this year's maneuvers is the largest since 1988, when, in the middle of the Cold War, the alliance mobilized 125,000 soldiers.
Also according to Cavoli, troops this year will simulate a Russian invasion of one of the member countries. In one of the simulations, the military will train a rapid deployment to Poland, a NATO member country and neighbor of Ukraine.
At another point in the training, the soldiers will go to countries that border Russia, such as Norway and the Baltic countries - Latvia and Lithuania -, which are also part of NATO.
NATO, an alliance of the Armed Forces of 31 Western countries, including the United States, provides that an invasion of any of the members automatically implies a response by troops from all other members of the group.
When it invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Russia claimed to be defending itself against a threat from NATO, which was holding talks with the Ukrainian government about the country's possible entry into the bloc.
NATO's record call also comes as Russia has stepped up airstrikes on major cities in Ukraine in an attempt to show strength after months of failing to advance on the front lines. Currently, Russian soldiers control around 20% of Ukrainian territory, in areas in the east and south of the country.
No geral, sentir-se velho por dentro ou ter uma alma antiga cria uma sensação de estar vivendo na época errada, principalmente quando se pensam nos hábitos e gostos. Porém, existem 5 características que facilitam a identificação de quem lida com essa realidade, pois se referem aos aspectos da personalidade e a forma de se relacionar com o mundo.
Mais do que um cansaço físico ou uma eterna nostalgia emocional, essas características referem-se a uma maturidade emocional distinta do indivíduo em relação à própria geração. Portanto, os comportamentos e a maneira de lidar com as adversidades são distintas, assim como a mentalidade dentro dos diversos tipos de relacionamento. Saiba mais informações a seguir:
Quem se sente velho por dentro costuma encontrar prazer em estar sozinho, pois gostam da própria companhia e sentem-se bem dentro da solidão. Apesar disso, não significa que não são pessoas sociáveis, ou que são tímidos e introvertidos.
Essa característica refere-se a uma necessidade natural de introspecção, como forma de recarregar as energias. Contudo, também indica que o indivíduo consegue curtir a si mesmo, realizando atividades por conta própria e sem depender de alguém ou de um grupo de pessoas para fazer o que gosta.
Desde ir a um museu ou assistir a um filme sozinho, quem tem uma alma antiga encontra paz no silêncio e tranquilidade da solitude. Neste sentido, podem ser pessoas mais reservadas ou que valorizam a privacidade, pois enxergam na reclusão um momento especial consigo mesmo.
Geralmente, uma alma antiga reconhece a outra, e por isso quem se sente velho por dentro consegue manter boas relações com quem possui mais idade. Neste ponto, é comum existir dificuldade em se interessar ou acompanhar os assuntos das pessoas da sua geração, em especial porque os interesses e prioridades parecem distintos.
Em contrapartida, entender a realidade de pessoas mais velhas faz mais sentido, porque há uma aproximação entre as preferências ou escolhas. Além disso, essa facilidade na relação está relacionada a um grau de maturidade que pode se diferir dos semelhantes, mas se aproximar de quem pertence a outra geração.
As almas antigas conseguem entender melhor a instabilidade dos relacionamentos e das coisas, pois compreende as mudanças que acontecem ao longo da vida. Em decorrência desse processo, tendem a ser desapegadas e lidar com as adversidades com mais leveza.
Acima de tudo, encontram em si mesmas os motivos para serem felizes, de modo que não dependam de fatores externos para manter o bem-estar. Dessa forma, podem ser desapegados às coisas materiais ou até mesmo às necessidades carnais, encontrando satisfação em outras coisas.
A princípio, quem se sente velho pro dentro costuma pensar de uma maneira distinta em relação às pessoas da própria geração, tanto no sentido das prioridades quanto nas opiniões. Através dessa característica, costumam ser um ponto de apoio e aconselhamento para os demais, porque conseguem enxergar os problemas por uma perspectiva distinta.
Ademais, costumam inspirar força, confiança e sabedoria porque se colocam no mundo de forma tranquila, conectada consigo mesmo. Em suas falas conseguem ser mais equilibrados, com opiniões embasadas em suas experiências e conhecimentos, e não somente nos achismos.
No ambiente de trabalho podem ser líderes ou conselheiros importantes na tomada de decisões. Nos relacionamentos, por sua vez, agem pensando em todas as perspectivas para serem justos, ainda que defendam o próprio bem-estar.
Contudo, podem ser vistos como os diferentes ou esquisitos dentro dos ciclos sociais, especialmente por não se adequarem aos padrões e regras estabelecidas pela maioria.
Por conta da introspecção e do contato profundo consigo mesmos, as almas antigas são mais empáticas de maneira natural. Dentro de situações de conflito ou diante de adversidades, buscam se colocar no lugar dos outros para entender os motivos e as consequências que estão relacionadas a toda a situação.
Ainda que seja uma ferramenta importante para solucionar crises, a empatia se destaca dentro dos relacionamentos porque torna esses indivíduos bons ouvintes. Antes de mais nada, evitam emitir julgamentos ou críticas.
