Kety received his MD from the University of Pennsylvania
but his interest in science burgeoned at the age of 10 when an aunt bought him a chemistry set
and during college Kety obtained a job with a toxicologist who was a consultant to several lead companies
He had Kety analyze the urine of the workers at those companies
The standard procedure was to precipitate the lead as an insoluble salt
and then redissolve it with sodium citrate
On the basis of this experience he assumed that one could treat lead poisoning by administering sodium citrate to increase the excretion of lead
a hypothesis he later confirmed while a medical student
He obtained a fellowship at Harvard with Joseph Aub
and Aub had begun working on traumatic shock
and recognized that the reflexes triggered in shock preserved the circulation of the blood in the brain and the heart at the expense of the circulation in other organs
His interest then turned to cerebral circulation and
he returned to Penn to work on cerebral circulation in Carl Schmidt's laboratory
There he developed a very original technique for quantitative measurements of blood flow and energy metabolism in the human brain
The technique was based on his insight that the brain would absorb an inert diffusible gas from arterial blood
and its accumulation should be independent of the brain's metabolic activity and dependent only on physical parameters such as diffusion
he presented his mathematical treatment of the exchange of diffusible substances between capillaries and tissue in the lung and other organs
and opened a new chapter in physiology and medicine
He examined these processes in essential hypertension
and elucidated many of the underlying physiological processes
By combining his equations with autoradiography
he could measure the circulation in different regions of the brain
When used with positron emission tomography
his principles made possible the measurement of local blood flow and the visualization of functional activity throughout the brain
The field of functional brain imaging was thus ushered in

The harpist releases her new soundtrack ahead of her upcoming album release
True artistry is never afraid to get a little bit experimental
an ideal which inspired the Italian-Swiss harpist Kety Fusco to create her haunting new track
the soundtrack is anything but dreamlike — with the usual twinkle of harp strings being turned into scratching sounds of terror
Kety Fusco creates a soundscape that is both evocative and frightening
triggering brand new emotions that have never been explored before with harp music
To make the soundtrack for a horror film!” Featuring images of floating dead bodies
faceless bodies screaming into the abyss and a masked harpist completing a ritual — we are here to confirm she achieved just that
Fusco depicts how anything can descend into evil when put into the dark
including her usual uptempo dance-worthy beats
To commemorate the release of the soundtrack
we took some time to speak with Fusco about her new style
and how this will translate to her upcoming album

A new Friday gathering in the Latina/o Studies Program (LSP) will connect students to alumni with varied career paths
“Fridays with Alumni” kicks off Jan. 31 featuring Kim Cardenas '17 & Joseph De Los Santos '19 joining by Zoom. Students will gather in the LSP program offices to join the conversation, but they can also participate by Zoom
“Cornell played a transformative role in our trajectory, empowering us to harness our skills and talents to contribute to the world. As alumni, we’re eager to pay it forward. We want to help the next generation and share lessons gleaned from our successes, and from our struggles," said Kety Esquivel '97
president of the Cornell Latino Alumni Association (CLAA)
"Countless alumni attest to the extraordinary impact of LSP
and the critical role that LSP directors
and staff had in folks thriving academically and personally at Cornell
We’re excited to partner with them on this endeavor.”
Maria Cristina Garcia
Newman Professor of American Studies in the College of Arts & Sciences
Weiss Presidential Fellow and director of the Latina/o Studies Program
said the impetus for the new event came from Reunion 2024
when more than 50 alumni came to an LSP reception
Kety and I discussed ways that CLAA could support the program and thought it would be great for this generation of students to talk to alumni who went before them,” she said
said she remembers them having the same questions that students have today – What will I do for my career
Will I find a job that has purpose and meaning
How do I find my first internship and then my first job
some of the faculty and alumni mentors she had as a student – where she was elected the first Latina student on the Cornell Board of Trustees and had an honorary seat on the President’s Councill of Cornell Women (PCCW)
which was just starting — have been formative in her career and her life
I’ve learned that there’s not just one way to live a successful life,” she said
“It’s thinking about what you want and how you can get there
doing what you can to put the pieces in place and contribute your grain of sand to the world
The Friday sessions will include lunch and short presentations from the alumni about how they chose their majors
how they ended up on their current career path and what they know now that they wish they had known as students
There will plenty of time for students to ask questions
“We hope that students will appreciate talking to alumni who charted very different paths and who represent a wide range of colleges at Cornell,” Garcia said
but oftentimes alumni pursue careers that have nothing to do with their major
so we want students to know that they’re learning critical skills that will serve them well no matter where they go in life
Other alumni visitors this semester include:
The Fridays with Alumni series complements the Latina/o Studies Program’s successful Fridays with Faculty series
which features an in-person conversation with a Cornell faculty member or administrator about their research or work in progress.
The Fridays with Alumni series is funded by the Latina/o Studies Program in collaboration with the Cornell Latino Alumni Association
Latina/o Studies Program Student Success Office and the Latino Living Center at Cornell

For those who never had the opportunity to know him
I can attest that Seymour Kety was an approachable person with a droll sense of humor
My colleague Steven Matthysse tells the story of his first contact with Seymour
a story that has no relation to the issue of Seymour's work on the genetics of schizophrenia
when Steve was a graduate student in theoretical physics at Yale
Seymour had been the scientific director of the NIH's Mental Health Institute and was now the chief of its Laboratory of Clinical Science
He had already published his influential critiques of the biological studies of schizophrenia
and followed them with a paper called A Biologist Examines the Mind and Behavior
In that paper Seymour discussed aspects of the problem of consciousness
and Steve wrote to him about his gloss on some of Seymour's arguments
but nine years later when Steve was working for Seymour at the Massachusetts General Hospital
he received this letter: “Thank you for your recent letter
Although I regret the delay in this reply (I have been away from my desk too frequently)
I usually make it a firm policy to answer my correspondence within a week or at the latest within a decade … Sometime when you are in the neighborhood
I would be delighted to have a visit from you to learn more about your very worthwhile suggestion …”
From the time that schizophrenia was first described in the 19th century
there was much evidence that schizophrenia ran in families
most influential researchers believed that schizophrenia was something one acquired by a kind of social contagion from one's parents
And none of them is genetically transmitted
As a result of these studies we no longer hear shrill voices proclaiming that schizophrenia arises from toxic interpersonal family environments
and gave it a genetic basis because of the adoption strategy
He thus confirmed that there is another syndrome like schizophrenia that is genetically related to schizophrenia
Since the time of Seymour's demonstration of a clear genetic basis for schizophrenia
and in spite of spectacular developments in molecular genetics
there has been relatively little progress in finding chromosomal linkage with schizophrenia
let alone in finding the actual gene or genes implicated in schizophrenia
many reports of linkage with schizophrenia have appeared
but the literature is also rife with failures to replicate those claims
One reason for these failures to replicate is that researchers typically have been using schizophrenia alone as the pertinent phenotype; but schizophrenia alone recurs at too low a rate within families to give linkage efforts enough statistical power to detect linkage
Seymour's concept of the schizophrenia spectrum broadens the target phenotype
and thus laid the foundation for recognizing non-clinical pleiotropic expressions of schizophrenia
which are able to provide enough statistical power to detect linkage
they permit a parsing of their intrinsic processes so that not only their genetic distribution but also their pathophysiology can be discerned
Smooth pursuit eye movement tracings from a schizophrenia patient (top panel) and from a normal control (middle panel)
The participants were asked to follow a target (a small circle) that moved sinusoidally at a frequency of 0.4 Hz (bottom panel)
The tracing made by the schizophrenia patient is significantly more irregular than that produced by the control participant
suggesting low gain pursuit with frequent catch-up saccadic eye movements
we have found support for this finding with a lod score of 2.34 in approximately this same area (D6S1017)
We have also looked at the relation of these raised velocity sensitivity thresholds to eye tracking abnormalities
We found that raised velocity thresholds were highly related both to a sluggish onset and maintenance of smooth pursuit

and direct as he sought the simplest solution to a difficult problem
The simplicity of his approach to science is illustrated in his use of chelation with citrate for lead poisoning and in his solution to the problem of measuring cerebral blood flow and metabolism
Equally direct and simple was his approach to the role of genetics in schizophrenia
he made difficult and formidable tasks look easy
He continued to honor us with his presence in our laboratory
This symposium is but one way we can say to him
We are privileged to have been touched by your brilliance and friendship.”

How canned tomatoes and cassava cake became as authentically Cuban as ropa vieja
“I make better Cuban food than anyone over there,” twenty-something Gaby told me as we waited in Miami for a flight to Havana
carried multiple plastic-covered packages of toys
and daily necessities that were unavailable or very expensive on the island
Her abuela—who had raised Gaby and taught her to cook—had fled Cuba as Fidel Castro seized power
When I told the young woman that I was going to research the country’s food culture
“No one knows how to cook there,” she said
That was the first moment I began questioning my assumptions on what I might find on the island that many Americans think of as frozen in time
Having recently published a book on traditional
I hypothesized that similar traditions were revived in Cuba after the Soviet collapse almost 30 years before
and that modern Cuban food culture was a direct reflection of what was eaten by generations long past
and his abuela—renting an extra bedroom in a legal casa particular
Tattoo-covered Oryel spoke English and showed me around my first evening
she would take me to a culinary school where her boyfriend teaches
The next morning we took a gypsy cab a few miles away to the residential neighborhood of Miramar
The school was in what might have once passed for a beachside country club
fortified concrete building abutting a rock-strewn beach
teenagers in toques and chef coats slouched in chairs
On tables that edged the walls were two dozen dishes
that would soon be judged on taste and presentation
Kety and I walked around to inspect each one before the judges
had a number of culinary programs—more trade schools than culinary ivory towers—that focused on various cuisines
and students could take programs that ranged from less than a year to two or more to learn how to make their curriculum of Cuban dishes
like nearly every institution in the country
and the typical graduate might cook at a tourist restaurant or hotel
informal restaurants run from private residences that had recently become legal
Kety and I walked by deep-fried fish cakes and a slice of meatloaf adorned with a single olive
At the hollowed-out pineapple filled with unidentifiable seafood
Each dish was plated with a smear of sauce and was heavy on the seafood and beef
two foods that were extremely expensive or completely unavailable to the average Cuban
She had made me a feast that morning for breakfast: scrambled eggs with onions and slices of industrial-made white bread
and a plate with fruit salad alongside my requested coffee
I had eaten alone on the front patio watching the sun come up
I doubted this was what she or Oryel ate for breakfast
But she didn’t seem to understand the question
or maybe she couldn’t understand why I’d want to know
It was only a ten-minute walk from Kety and Oryel’s apartment in Vedado
where there were cars in the driveway and well-tended lawns
a stark contrast to my hosts’ concrete apartment building across from grand but crumbling houses with laundry fluttering from the open arched windows
Many have stretched the definition of a paladar to encompass freestanding and seemingly professional businesses
This place had clearly been built in the driveway of an upper-class home
Tables of tourists and a few well-dressed Cubans were drinking wine and eating seafood and steak on starched white tablecloths
filled with flaky hunks of fish and plump bites of sweet shrimp
rough cut and toothsome with a taste of the sea
the bill came to around 20 CUCs (approximately 1:1 with the American dollar)
yet few Cubans could afford these prices in a country where the average government wage is around $20 USD a month
AN AVERAGE OF 3,000 CALORIES WAS AVAILABLE FOR CUBANS BEFORE THE SOVIET COLLAPSE
I had an appointment to meet with Vilda and Jose Figeroa
founders of the organization Proyecto Comunitario Conservacion de Alimentos
which was started during the “Special Period,” as the time of deprivation after the Soviet collapse was euphemistically called
The group’s charge is to teach mostly young Cubans to plant gardens and cook and preserve what they grow
Cuba lost four fifths of its imports and exports
slashing the country’s buying power and the availability of daily necessities—like fuel for transportation or reliable electricity—all but bringing the country to a halt
there was a gaping void in food production and availability for its citizens
causing starvation and mass health issues; one stark statistic is that the average Cuban lost 20 pounds
Vilda explained that there was an average of 3,000 calories available for the typical Cuban before the Soviet collapse
that dropped to around 1,800 calories per citizen
Cubans were forced to return to farming using pre-industrial methods
despite that this approach had been all but abandoned during the previous generation
and much of the knowledge and resources had been lost
Cubans had to adapt quickly to the need to feed themselves using what little resources were available
Vilda was a professor of nutrition at the University of Havana at the onset of the Special Period and had
left Cuba on multiple occasions for her job
which gave her a unique perspective on how other countries dealt with food sovereignty
she saw ways that she could help Cubans address this dire need for basic nutrition
So she and Jose taught themselves what food could be grown in the local climate that she describes as “fragile”: rainy and dry seasons with extreme heat
They also scoured what few books they could find to further develop methods for preserving the harvest through processes like canning (heat preservation in jars) and fermenting
tomatoes were the only produce being preserved beyond the harvest
She and Jose officially founded their organization in 1994 and began finding ways to share their newfound knowledge of gardening
and preserving with as many people as they could
At the same time as Vilda and Jose’s efforts
others were also working to create vast—mostly organic—urban gardens
which includes the city and some outlying smaller towns
75 percent of the produce consumed in the province of Havana is grown there (and some put it as high as 90 percent)
considering that La Habana is by far the smallest of the country’s 16 provinces—just under 300 square miles—but is home to more than 2 million of the country’s 11 million people
Almost 20 percent of the country’s population lives on less than one percent of its land
and yet does a decent job of feeding itself
Vilda and Jose’s efforts—they have been on national television and radio
written more than 20 cookbooks and instruction manuals
and have produced and disseminated recipes and instructions to individuals and community groups—have done much to support that effort
and they have been visited by numerous NGOs and other groups like Slow Food International
introduced many new foods to the Cuban diet while popularizing others: cassava has become much more widely grown
and they developed recipes that dried the root vegetable and turned it into flour
which could then be made into bread and cake
was a food not often consumed in the country
but has gained popularity because of its nutrition
It was then that I began to see the larger picture of food culture in Cuba
I had assumed that when Cubans were faced with their food crisis at the fall of the Soviet Union that they simply resurrected gardening and preparation and preservation traditions from decades past
But many of these traditions had been systematically quashed for generations
in part from the culture of colonization by the United States—who provided cheap imports so rural Cubans could focus their efforts on sugar cane production—and then by the Communist culture during Castro’s reign prior to the Soviet collapse
which de-emphasized self-sufficiency and insisted that the government would provide for the people
but political factors that determined what ingredients were even available for consumers to work with
Certainly a number of Cubans had grown up with small gardens and had continued to make certain recipes or preserves from bequeathed recipes
But the number of those who had that knowledge had long been dwindling
such as population migration from rural to urban centers
or vast changes in what raw ingredients were available as trading partners shifted or disappeared
it stands to reason that many of these traditions changed or disappeared
This is not unlike the shift away from small batch foods in the United States over the past 50-plus years in favor of cheaper
While some of these traditions are now being revived in the U.S
due to increased interest in culinary heritage
the average American would face the same knowledge gap should the grocery store shelves suddenly go empty
I thought back to what Gaby had said in the airport just a few days before
that she cooked better Cuban food than most Cubans
She probably learned recipes that were closer to the pre-Special Period foods than those cooked and eaten in Cuba now
depending on when her grandmother emigrated from Cuba
perhaps she had even kept alive traditions from before the Soviet era
when foods from the United States were widely available
I began to imagine the learning curve for the many Cubans who were thrust into severe food insecurity long after many assumed they would no longer need these traditional methods or recipes
They needed people like Vilda and Jose to teach them the seasonality of produce
It didn’t matter if it was “authentic” to the country’s past
in a land where multiple waves of colonial influence had long dictated what foods were produced domestically or available for purchase
Perhaps what people are growing and cooking and preserving themselves now is the most authentic Cuban food in generations
And it’s hard to place too much importance on such designations in a country where food security is still an issue
I recruited Oryel to take me to a farmers market to see for myself the array of produce that was grown within the province and served as raw ingredients for the meals of Cubans around the city
The closest one to the apartment was vibrant in early afternoon: there were bins with dried beans of many colors and sizes
And there were tables and tables of fresh produce: red and green hot peppers
There was also produce that I hadn’t before seen
all of which Oryel said his grandmother had cooked for him when he was young
I told Oryel I wished I could taste the meal he had described and offered to buy the ingredients so we could go home and make it
We filled three grocery bags of root vegetables: boniato and cassava
Bags so full that Oryel had to carry them in his arms like a small child cost less than three dollars
pressed into the back seat with a third passenger
but she shooed us from the dim galley kitchen into the hallway as we watched her peel and chop the vegetables before placing them in her electric pressure cooker
who lived in Sydney with his Australian wife
Oryel and I were sitting down to steaming bowls
slick with oil and dotted with shimmering puddles of lime juice
Each vegetable had its own subtle flavor and texture; the boniato was both starchy and sweet
Yet the garlic and lime helped elevate the flavor beyond its basic components
each bite tasted both comforting and exciting at the same time
Part of me wanted to know how authentic this meal was: was this a dish that was representative of the Special Period
or was this one that Oryel’s abuela had eaten when she was young
It was the first meal I had eaten with my host family
It may not have starred fresh seafood or been served with a long-simmered sauce
but it came with a story of a love and survival
imbued with the history of a complicated and beautiful and resilient land

Raw sewage overflow is bubbling up and flooding Largo streets
Marcia Grantham is watching the levels rise towards her house she's lived in for 49 years
you worry when it's gonna come in your front door." Marcia says
She says she got 5 inches of water inside.
"I'm not happy about it but what can we do." she adds
a large tank at Largo's wastewater treatment plant isn't even running right now. A large tank is out of commission
this was taken down to nothing." says Irvin Kety is Largo's Environmental Services Director
He says an 18 million dollar construction project is splitting the old tank into 2 more functional tanks
For now wastewater is being sent through a temporary system
where it gets treated and some of the treated water is getting dumped into Cross Bayou
Reporter: "Some of these people are frustrated
Kety: "Well our goal is to keep the sewage in the pipes and in the plant and do everything we can
Kety says the plant can only handle up to 7 and a half inches of rain in 24 hours. He says yesterday they got over 11 inches
Once the projects are done it's expected to resolve the problems
"I think the infrastructure in this city has been let go for so many years and they just keep moving people in and letting people buy and build."
The project is expected to last until later this September for tank 1 and November for tank 2
Another 38 million dollar project which is expected to pump waste and storm water to the plant faster isn't expected to be completed until next fall
Kety says sewage fees will go up for residents but that won't happen until at least 2018

maybe six months and actively work with us to get into permanent housing."

all 20 cabins have already been reserved and a waiting list is filling up
The cabins are built for only one individual and are not designed to provide overnight housing
The ultimate goal for the program is to relocate homeless clients into permanent housing with a three-month timeframe
"This is going to mean 20 people can have a place that has a roof and that's dry and warm
that they can come home to and they can be here for the duration of their need to be here," said Ken Dalebout
5Cities Homeless Coalition Board President
"Now we have people that formerly were on the street
The South County currently does not have any emergency housing facilities
so the new project is much-needed as homelessness continues to rise
5CHS reported unsheltered homelessness in SLO County has grown by 22% over the past five years
It's a growing issue especially in Grover Beach
where a large population of homeless are currently living in the wooded area along El Camino Real
"We have had an increased with the unhoused in our area in larger encampments," said Kristin Eriksson
"We hope this will be part of the solution for that
We're also making other efforts in the city and we can't wait to see how an innovative program works for our city
We think this is going to be an amazing addition to our efforts here in the city to address homelessness
but it's a big step and we're very excited."
All of the project partners are hoping its success will lead to other similar facilities throughout San Luis Obispo County
the first of many that we hope to have at the county
so it's a very significant moment for us," said Dawn Ortiz-Legg
San Luis Obispo County District 3 Supervisor
"When we came together this year to create our homeless strategy
we said we needed at least five to 10 more these throughout the county Whether it's the Pallet style
but what we're trying to do is to quickly outlay housing options for those that are willing to work within the programs that we have available and to come out to find the shelter and a path forward in their life."
Cabins for Change were originally scheduled to open earlier this year
but the facility has been delayed due to a piece of electrical equipment that has been on order for several months due to ongoing supply chain issues
The goal now is to open up next week on Friday
The cabins will be funded by CARES Act relief funds from the federal government
5CHC will operate the facility with 24-hour staffing and will work closely with the Grover Beach Police Department to implement safety measures such as the use of curfews

Kety developed the first quantitative and reproducible method for measuring cerebral blood flow
The implications of that simple statement will escape those not old enough to recall the bizarrely unreliable techniques previously used
oxygen tension was measured twice in blood sampled from the internal carotid artery and the internal jugular vein; if blood flow was assumed to be constant during that interval
changes in the differential between arterial and venous oxygen levels reflected metabolism; if cerebral metabolism was taken as unchanged
the difference could only reflect changes in blood flow
to measure blood flow (by applying the Fick principle)
changes in arteriovenous oxygen tension provided an index of metabolism
Kety and his colleagues applied the method to healthy volunteers
and to patients with various ailments—essential hypertension
increased intracranial pressure and senile dementia
Major differences were evident in these patients
But blood flow and oxygen consumption in people with schizophrenia were entirely within the normal range
Kety knew that such findings did not rule out the possibility of biologically important changes in particular brain regions of schizophrenics
measuring differences in regional blood flow became his next objective

Construction on three projects contributed to the mess, city officials said — projects aimed at preventing the same spills that led to contamination and an unambiguous stench in some city neighborhoods.
The overflows were caused by heavy rainfall coupled with ongoing construction for three projects totaling about $80 million that will increase capacity of the system. Two are the result of a state order issued in 2006 to bring the sewerage system into compliance with state standards. The city has until January 2018 to fulfill it.
When the projects are complete, the system will meet a state requirement to handle a 10-year storm, or one that drops 7.5 inches of rain in 24 hours. Overflows would most likely still happen during a storm that had as much rain as Hermine, which dumped 11 inches on the first day, Kety said.
One project that will change the way sewage is disinfected made two holding tanks unavailable while they're reconstructed. The water that would normally go there was diverted to a long, narrow filtration tank that couldn't hold enough to keep up with the flow during the storm.
"We feel that if we had those other tanks online — if construction was finished — we probably would not have had any discharge to Cross Bayou even with the high flows," Kety said.
Another project, known as the headworks project, includes construction of a 5 million-gallon tank that can hold sewage during events such as Hermine, when flow at the plant is high, and feed it through the treatment process once the flow dies down.
During the storm, the city repurposed two tanks normally used to separate and digest solids to hold incoming sewage. Those hold slightly less than 1.5 million gallons, said Gary Glascock, the city's wastewater manager.
The projects will allow the plant to take about 32 million gallons through the treatment process, Glascock said, with more that can be diverted into the 5 million gallon storage tank. During Hermine, the plant flow hit about 30 million gallons, according to a city storm report. Discharge into Cross Bayou ended Sept. 4, the Sunday after the storm.
The third and most expensive project, with a price tag of about $38 million, will alleviate overflows at some trouble spots around the city in two ways.

Seven pump stations with the highest flows will be upsized to handle higher capacities. For example, one of the stations on Lake Avenue next to Highland Recreation Complex is connected to manholes at Golf Lake Condominiums, City Hall and the police department, where a total of about 2.5 million gallons spilled over, as well as Country Club Drive, one of the unknown quantity spots.
The project includes a pressurized pipe, similar to a hose, that will run through the seven stations. When flows increase, the pipe will push sewage across the city directly to the plant quicker than stations along the way that pump into a pipe that uses gravity to transport sewage.
That project is expected to wrap up this month, with the disinfection project slated for December and the headworks for next fall.
"We have one more wet season to go before all the pieces come together," Glascock said.
To calculate the total amount of rainwater and sewage seeping, and sometimes gushing, from the manholes, city staff monitored the sites and visually compared the flow with a set of nine photos showing manholes overflowing at rates from 5 to 275 gallons per minute, Kety said.
For the nine manholes that weren't counted, he said it was a matter of prioritizing his crews. Some areas of the city were more at risk for sewage backups into homes and businesses, so he focused resources on preventing backups instead of positioning someone at a manhole to monitor the flow.
"We're trying to keep our system functioning so people's homes don't get backed up," he said.
Manhole overflows have since ended. Now, the city is focused on cleanup. Crews are in the process of raking and vacuuming debris and dispersing a powder disinfectant if needed, Kety said. Residents with damage as a result of the overflows can call the city's risk management department at (727) 587-6716.
The city also identified 13 sites to sample for fecal bacteria. As of Tuesday, 12 have been cleared, said Mike Julio, environmental compliance supervisor. The city is still monitoring a retention pond at Golf Lake Condominiums, which Julio is hoping will be cleared by the end of this week.
The pond has no exit site, so the bacteria "has to keep breaking down, breaking down until there's nothing left," which takes longer, Julio said. The city has placed signs around the pond to warn residents of contamination.

The Norwegian aluminium group Hydro is expanding its new recycling business in Poland. After completing the acquisition of the Polish recycling company Alumetal this summer
Hydro now plans to invest nearly NOK200m (ca
€17.5m) in the modernisation of Alumetal's Kęty plant in southern Poland
Hydro plans to increase the plant's capacity by about 30,000 tonnes of cast alloys and strengthen Alumetal's position in the automotive market
according to a Hydro statement released on Friday
Hydro had taken over the then listed company Alumetal S.A
With a current production capacity of around 275,000 tonnes
spread over three plants in Poland and one in Hungary
Alumetal is Europe's second largest producer of aluminium casting alloys
Hydro and Alumetal want to become the leading integrated aluminium recycler in Europe
"In Alumetal we see a good fit with Hydro’s ambitious strategy for growth in recycling
This investment confirms our intention to develop and grow the business further," said Eivind Kallevik
executive vice president at Hydro Aluminium Metal
The scope of Hydro's first investment in Alumetal since assuming ownership comprises the replacement of the existing furnaces and ingot casting equipment at Kęty
The new and more modernised equipment will make it possible to increase capacity and improve safety and operational efficiency
The modernised recycling facility is expected to be operational during the first half of 2025

Kety is a first year PhD student at the Interventional Systems Neuroscience Lab where she is working with the team to develop innovative non-invasive neuromodulation methods to alter neural activity and function
Dr Jackson is a senior scientific project manager for the Multi-'omics Atlas project and the Athena Swan lead for the department of Brain Sciences
thank you for taking the time for this interview
tell us a little bit about your career background and research interest
Jo: I actually did my PhD at Imperial College
The focus of my project was imaging in a Parkinson’s Disease model
looking at stem cells and whether they increase dopamine levels after transplantation
I then went to Sweden and did postdoctoral research
looking at neurogenesis in epilepsy and synaptic integration - so how the newly formed cells integrated with the mature granule cells
I then came back to the UK and briefly worked at the Hammersmith site of Imperial college with Vincenzo De Paola
looking at axonal degeneration in an axonal injury mouse model
As the funding for this project came to an end
I left to work at Eli Lilly - the pharmaceutical company
They were looking for a postdoc to set up in vivo two-photon imaging facility to look at synaptic loss in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) models
I was offered a permanent position as a research scientist
which was great as I ended up having my own group and staying there for eight years
I did some drug discovery work as well as investigating the synapse loss in AD models
Things then changed a bit and my group's focus changed slightly
At the beginning of last year I decided that I was no longer doing the science that I enjoyed and so I decided to leave
My next position was my current role at the Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) at Imperial
Kety: Very impressive career path and clearly influenced and driven by your interest in synapses. You are leading the Multi- ‘Omics Atlas Project at the DRI
what does the project involve and why do we need it in AD field
I’m leading the Multi- ‘Omics Atlas Project
I'm starting to carve out my own work based on my scientific interests as well
The Multi- ‘Omics Atlas Project is a UK DRI directors’ initiative
We will comprehensively map the disease pathology that occurs in human AD in different brain regions
across different cell types and at different stages of the disease
which has been done for decades on Alzheimer's brain tissue
But we will also bring in the multi-omics approach and that means we will collect data at the epigenetic level
we will bring it all together using bioinformatics
which is a large component of this project. We need this approach because
although these things have been done before to a certain extent
so not actually brought together to have a really comprehensive understanding of the human AD condition
This is all done on a post-mortem human brain tissue and hopefully it will lead to a greater understanding of the disease state and the disease progression
Kety: Having an in-depth understanding of the disease and its progression will definitely help us develop disease-modifying strategies so that is a very exciting project. You mentioned that alongside this you are also carving your own scientific research. Is that focusing on synapses or are you moving into a different direction
Within the multi Multi-‘Omics Atlas Project
there is a synapse component and that is the part that I am leading
I also co-supervise a PhD student who is looking at synaptic vulnerability in AD
Kety: We know that Alzheimer’s is a very complex and multifaceted disease and as we discussed earlier
there are many components of the brain that we should look at to really understand the pathology
why are synapses particularly important in AD
I think one thing that isn't really known at the moment is how and why the synapse loss occurs in Alzheimer's
There’s evidence that it’s tau driven or that the loss of synapses occurs around Amyloid plaques
still needs to be better understood and investigated in more detail
This is particularly important when developing disease-modifying interventions
[putting my drug discovery hat on] let’s say you are delivering a drug which is thought to modify the underlying pathology
does that have a knock-on effect and prevent the synapses being lost
Maybe it does not and so it has no effect on the synapse loss and therefore does not improve cognition
we were looking at if we can target the synapses directly to prevent them from being lost or even their ability to regenerate
Targeting synapses could have a direct impact on the condition of the patients.
Kety: For that one would need to look at synapses in living patients
What are some of the current methods to image synapses in AD patients
Jo: It is really tricky and one of the exciting developments in the field is the discovery of SV2A PET tracer
but it has great potential for clinical applications to monitor synaptic density and synaptic health
and so does not give us information on what is happening post-synaptically
but it is the best tracer that we have at the moment
Imaging synapses in living individuals is very challenging and that has really held the field back up until now
what are you most excited about in your current work
Jo: One thing that really excited me and drew me to this project was that I realised the amount we still don't know about human AD and that is really affecting drug discovery moving forward
learning more about the human disease states and being able to then
back translate what we know about the human disease states
so that we can then investigate the mechanisms further
This will then hopefully lead us to identify new biomarkers
such as the PET tracer I've just mentioned
Kety: What do you think are the current challenges in academia
what do you think is slowing down scientific progress
Could be more generally or in your specific research field
Jo: I was thinking about this last night
I think one thing that I've seen started to change for the better is how willing scientists are to share their data
when I was in academia before I went to Lilly
you would not tell the person in the lab next door about what you were doing
Some people still worry about being “scooped” and that
there are developments such as publishing preprints
which protect the research contributions from scientists
I think this is definitely changing and changing for the better
This is one thing that we at the UK DRI are very keen on and we have been from the start. The Multi- ‘Omics Atlas Project aims to develop a resource tool for the field and so it will be an open platform with all data being accessible
Kety: That’s fantastic and I am really glad DRI is supporting that. Open science also promotes equality in science which is something that you are actively working on as the Athena SWAN lead at the department of brain sciences
Can you tell us a little bit more about the role of your team?
I'm the Athena SWAN lead for the department and I'm also the lead for equality
diversity and inclusion for brain sciences
When the new department was created in August last year
we created a team with this focus to promote equality for all in the workplace
inclusive and supportive working environment for all
has an equal opportunity to thrive and to be successful in the workplace
Science in the past has not been particularly great at this and this is something that Paul [Matthews]
Kety: The gender representation in leadership positions has also been an issue in academia
especially in science. As a female in a leadership position
Jo: What I have observed in academia is that at the postdoctoral level
it is roughly balanced in terms of males and females
there is what it’s called the “leaky pipeline” and for some reason
women do not progress to the higher levels as much as men do
This means that there are fewer women at senior levels
This is the same in most departments in academia and in the industry as well
One thing we'll try to understand is exactly why that is
The obvious one is that they're having children
it has been shown that women may be less confident
especially if the conversation is dominated by senior males in the department
I think we need to look at all these possible reasons and try and address them
In terms of how the landscape has changed in recent years
I don't think there has been a massive change
We still have a problem and we had the same problem 10 years ago
What I would say is that it is definitely being talked about more now
We are moving in a positive direction but there is definitely more work to be done
SUKKUR: The Indus River is in a low-level flood at Guddu and Sukkur barrage
inundating several low-lying areas in Khairpur and Nawabshah districts
Officials from the irrigation department have indicated that the Kotri Barrage is projected to experience a medium-level flood in the near future
with the upstream water flow reaching 391,000 cusecs and downstream flow 385,000 cusecs
This increased volume of water is a critical factor contributing to the elevated levels downstream
the upstream water level at Sukkur Barrage has recorded a water flow of 380,010 cusecs and downstream recorded 350,000 cusecs further amplifying the flood risk in the region
the upstream water level has recorded 291,000 cusecs and the downstream has recorded as 162,000 cusecs
while the water level at Manchar Lake reached 112 feet
Aumb Junejo and more than 15 villages of Kazi Ahmed in district Nawabshah have been flooded

Polish drama series “High Water,” or “Wielka Woda” in native Polish
is a fictional retelling of the fateful time in 1997 when a part of Poland and other central European countries were massively flooded
While the premise and background of the floods and the administration’s reaction to them are mostly factual
the series creates a tale with a set of fictional characters to highlight the crisis even more
“High Water” is a good enough watch for those interested in stories of human triumph over natural disasters
the Polish government administrators in Wroclaw were busy preparing for an official visit by the Pope
they ignored a critical warning about a flood wave about to hit the city
water levels around the area begin to rise
and the authorities finally decide that they have to take measures
hopes to compete in the upcoming elections
and he takes on an important role in the team that is formed to handle the situation
Jakub reaches out to the hydrologist who had first sent the warning six weeks back
was going around Poland studying nature at the time after having moved away from the city due to certain events in her past
Although Jasmina joins the administration team
the government’s appointed specialists dismiss her opinion at first
saying that although a flood was indeed headed towards Wroclaw
Jasmina refuses to be dominated by the specialists
and she prefers to walk out of the team than listen to wrong predictions
She also goes around the suburbs of the city to monitor the situation and meets with a man named Andrzej Rebacz during her time in the nearby village of Kety
Jasmina decides that the only way to stop the flood would be to destroy the flood banks in some areas to divert the growing water
Despite the official experts’ belief otherwise
decides to listen to Jasmina and blow up the flood banks with explosives
Jasmina and the rest soon find out that her assessment had been based on maps made thirty years ago
and therefore the natural course of rivers and human settlements had changed since then
this decision massively disrupts life in the region and does not control the impending flood in Wroclaw at all
Jasmina and Jakub now need to think of ways to contain the situation while also working through their own troubled relationship from the past
the task force and Jasmina correct their calculations
and the hydrologist now states that the only way to save Wroclaw from the flood wave would be to destroy the embankment at Kety and intentionally flood the village instead
Jakub’s personal assistant leaks information about it to a news TV channel
and the decision to flood Kety is telecast quickly
The loss of livelihood faced by many in the first region that had been flooded understandably made the villagers of Kety grow wary of the government
and they now decided to not let the intentional flooding of their village take place
Although the government was promising to give them rehabilitation and funds to make up for their loss
nobody was willing to give up their own place
The villagers admitted and acknowledged the rising water levels but decided to stop the flood on their own and started to strengthen the embankments by working together through day and night
The government authorities do try to enter the region and carry out their actions on two occasions
but the villagers triumph over them both times
the police helicopters carrying the explosives have to retreat as the villagers take positions dangerously close to the embankments
and the plan of flooding Kety has to be canceled
the city of Wroclaw now gradually starts to get flooded
and waters rise dangerously in the outskirts and neighboring areas
Even if there was a sense of suddenness and swiftness to the flood in reality
“High Water” does not really emulate that feeling
as we see the waters gradually rise and cover the streets and pavements of the city
most streets of the city are filled with high levels of water
and some lower areas are almost totally submerged
Flooding at the city’s zoo had also made wild animals escape the place
with the entrances and lower floors totally submerged under water
short man-made barriers had to be made to keep more water from entering the buildings
The main hospital in the city was also tremendously affected
and the electricity facility was also lost
While a smaller hospital had to take charge of the patients
a meat slaughterhouse had been taken over by the authorities and transformed into a mortuary
“High Water” notably takes more interest in the characters that it creates and their lives than the exact nature of the flood going on
The hydrologist Jasmina and the politician Jakub were actually very well-known to each other much before this natural disaster
The two had grown up in the same neighborhood in Wroclaw and had also been part of the same anarchist anti-government group during their teenage years
they even became serious lovers and had a child together
the two had a fallout as they gradually grew up
While Jakub became a politician and wanted to be part of the government
the authoritarian figure that he once protested against
Jasmina still remained like her previous self and was also addicted to drugs
strongly believing that she would never be a good mother
But Klara was never told about the real identity of her mother and had only been told that she had left them after her birth
Even when Jasmina returns to Wroclaw and meets with Klara
the young girl does not know that she is meeting her mother but does suspect so after some time
keeping Klara safe becomes an important matter during the floods
and the father leaves her with an acquaintance
but Klara escapes from the place and goes missing for a while as the tremendous floods hit
Jasmina also decides to help her mother out
even though they have been distant since her childhood days
had been a very popular and talented opera singer in her youth but had possibly developed an eating disorder out of depression after she lost the limelight
Lena is unable to even move out of her apartment
and Jasmina helps her out by drugging her unconscious and moving her to an apartment on the higher floors of the building
as he used to live in their ancestral home in Kety with his father
the father had fallen sick and had to be admitted to the main hospital in Wroclaw sometime before the floods
Even though he knew that stopping his village from being flooded would mean that his father would be in danger in the city
Andrzej decided to side with the villagers and help them protect their lands
The main reason for this was that his father himself wanted him to protect their ancestral house with all the effort possible
and Andrzej ultimately delivered on this promise
The villagers in Kety do manage to protect themselves from the high water
but Andrzej receives a call from the hospital about his father
By the time he and his son reach Wroclaw and the hospital
and Andrzej ultimately finds out that his father has died
He takes the man’s body back to Kety
where they conduct a traditional funeral in honor of the man
Jakub Marczak frantically looks for his daughter on the flooded streets and even goes to the mortuary to check on a body but finds out that his daughter is indeed alive
Klara takes shelter in one of the buildings
and the two make their way toward Jakub’s office
The father is obviously relieved to see his daughter
Klara has also understood that the two are her parents
the three return to Jakub’s house to spend a few days together while on the streets; the water stands still for a couple of days and then gradually starts to drain out
There was not much that the authorities or experts could have done after the flood had hit the city
and therefore everyone just had to wait for the water to drain out
distributed food and amenities to the people to help them survive during these times
leaving the streets muddy and dirty but safe to walk through
Klara confronts her parents for having lied to her and left her
and Jasmina explains to her that she could never be a good mother
but this time by the provincial government officials as they have been summoned to give their statements about their actions during the floods
Jasmina reveals that she is pregnant with her new boyfriend
and Jakub happily wishes her the best before he is called in for his interrogation
“High Water” ends with real statistics from the 1997 Poland floods
as 56 people had lost their lives while almost 40,000 had lost their livelihoods and everything that they had
this was the biggest disaster Poland had faced after the World Wars
the 1997 floods became a cultural thing for the citizens of Wroclaw as they all had come together to survive the ordeal
The experience that they had at the time became a cultural and social identity for the people of the city
and a single charity album released shortly after captured this brilliantly
titled “Moja I Twoja Nadzieja,” became the unofficial anthem of the flood
and “High Water” also ends with the song as a fitting tribute to all those who died
“High Water” is a 2022 Drama Thriller series created by Anna Kepinska
The super-hot artist Katy Perry has some good times and the top style sense
Perry isn’t reluctant to face challenges in styling different looks in her own remarkable way
her style sense is cool and stylish however nobody else might pull off the outfit looks that Katy does
Katy never leaves an opportunity to display her ideal bends in her shocking outfit looks
We should have a more intensive glance at 5 of our number one looks of Katy Perry that figured out how to raise the warmth all through the web
Taylor is genuinely an astonishing artist with dazzling ability
we as a whole realize that with regards to her style the star has a basic way to deal with it
Even though Swift knows precisely how to offer a sizzling expression at red covers yet with regards to her road style she favours something more easygoing and fundamental
Take a look at the similar outfits that they have nailed so far!
Both singers like to show their patriotic side of their fashion
Taylor wore her UK flag and Kety Perry wore her USA flag
They both nailed the black glossy gown on the red carpet
they both looked different from their own perspective
Grammy is full of glamour and both singers wore the perfect outfit on the red carpet
