The recent investment will mainly be used to boost the sales and marketing efforts of the company by selling through partners and exploiting new sales opportunities through campaigns. As explained by Jovisic one of the main challenges ahead of the company are market visibility Their goal would be to accelerate their digital presence through more webinars and sponsorship of relevant initiatives.  Those are considered to be insufficiently covered by the competitors of the Croatian RPA startup After establishing a strong presence in these markets Rbotiq.ai expects to also use the investment as a trampoline to enter the richer and more mature UK and US markets which are characterized by high rates of adoption and higher competition Over 1 million people from all over the world have learned about the tech ecosystem in Central and Eastern Europe thanks to The Recursive In order to keep our content free for everyone If you believe what we do is important and have the means to do so support us in giving a voice to Central and Eastern Europe with as little as €7 Every single contribution of yours helps us guarantee our independence and sustainable future we can keep on providing constructive reporting on the developments in the region give even more global visibility to our ecosystem and educate the next generation of innovation journalists and content creators Find out more about how your donation could help us shape the story of the CEE entrepreneurial ecosystem You can also support The Recursive’s mission with a pick-any-amount Subscribe to The Recursive Innovation Times Keep up with the innovation landscape in CEE every week By entering your email you agree to The Recursive’s Privacy Policy.* Address: Sofia 1504, 6 Shipka Str.

Measurements made by the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission in 2012 filled in more details about the structure of the moon — including how its crust is thicker and includes an extra layer of material on its far side There are a number of ideas that have been used to try and explain the moon’s asymmetry One is that there were once two moons orbiting Earth and they merged in the very early days of the moon’s formation found itself in an orbit around the sun that put it on a collision course with the moon If the second scenario is true, it would have happened later than the first scenrio – the merging moons – after the moon had formed a solid crust. That’s according to Meng-Hua Zhu of the Space Science Institute at Macau University of Science and Technology and lead author of the new study signs of the impact of a young dwarf planet with our moon should be visible today in the moon’s crust The detailed gravity data obtained by GRAIL has given new insight into the structure of the lunar crust underneath the surface Zhu’s team of researchers used GRAIL’s new findings in computer simulations to test different early-moon impact scenarios The study’s authors ran 360 computer simulations of giant impacts with the moon to find out whether such an event millions of years ago could reproduce the crust of today’s moon as detected by GRAIL They found the best fit for today’s asymmetrical moon is a large body smacking into the nearside of the moon at 14,000 miles per hour (22,500 km per hour) That would be the equivalent of an object a bit smaller than the dwarf planet Ceres moving at a speed about one-quarter as fast as the meteor pebbles and sand grains that burn up as “shooting stars” in Earth’s atmosphere Another good fit for the impact combinations the team modeled is a slightly smaller object hitting at a mildly faster 15,000 miles per hour (24,500 km per hour) the model shows the impact would have thrown up vast amounts of material that would fall back on the moon’s surface burying the primordial crust on the far side in 3 to 6 miles (5 to 10 km) of debris That is the added layer of crust detected on the far side by GRAIL The new study suggests the impactor was not likely an early second moon of Earth’s Whatever the impactor was – an asteroid or a dwarf planet – it was probably on its own orbit around the sun when it encountered the moon Bottom line: New research suggests that a wayward dwarf planet collided with the moon in the early history of the solar system causing the stark difference between the moon’s heavily-cratered far side and the lower-lying open basins of its near side Source: Are the moon’s nearside-farside asymmetries the result of a giant impact?

Throughout the pandemic, some students have felt like they missed out on the social experiences of university that existed pre-pandemic. According to a 2020 study by the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) nine per cent of students listed the lack of social dynamic and university experience as the main reason their university experience has been negatively impacted by the pandemic.  This social experience includes class activities as well In the upper years of the Ryerson urban planning program students get to go on field trips to different cities around the world as part of their mandatory courses The graduating cohort of this year did not get this full experience “One of the best parts about the urban planning undergrad program is you get to go on these fun trips,” Panday said.  meeting with local planners in Vancouver with the rest of his class In October 2021 he attended a virtual field trip to Chicago But the experience is not the same as the actual trip would have been The way that the trips are structured is to spend the day fulfilling the academic requirements but then the evenings are times when students can socialize and explore the cities they are visiting “that social aspect was totally taken out of the equation,” said Panday.  This loss of experience is something felt by many university students. Some of the more significant losses for young adults during the pandemic were related to education and important social events or milestones, according to a 2021 study during the university period where people are investing in goals and socializing.  After two years of learning during a pandemic fourth-year international economics and finance student Rima Thakkar is ready to graduate and be done with school — at least for now.  “It made me just want to take a break,” Thakkar said “I feel like this (online) transition was just too taxing and then having to go back (to school) again would be too much of an adjustment for me.”  According to OCUFA 16 per cent of students say that burnout and bad experiences with online learning were the main reasons why their university experience has been negatively impacted by the pandemic Thakkar is not alone in this desire for a break from school Fourth-year York University environmental studies student Maya Adachi said that she feels the same way about returning to school “I don’t think I could do grad school right away after graduating (from undergrad) I’m going to leave a bit of a gap before going back for sure.” She recently accepted a contract for a job after her graduation and said that she is primarily trying to focus on that right now Panday said that after the two years of online school he is looking forward to “finishing and graduating and starting to work.” He has a full-time job that he is set to begin in June and he is ready to move on from university “I’m ready to start the next chapter in my life,” he said “I can understand the feeling of wanting to stay in school for a bit longer It does give structure and stability,” said Adachi But she says she is ready to be done with university and move on to the rest of her adult life I will miss that opportunity to learn and the community that comes with being a student,” she said “I’m ready to go off and find something else to do.” If Thakkar was to go back to school for a post-graduate degree it would be for the professional experience of the degree not chasing the social experience of her undergraduate degree “I don’t think I would be seeking the same things I was seeking from undergrad from a post-grad degree … Definitely not the social aspects of it because I don’t think it’s possible (to replace that) anymore.” While Panday lost the experience of an in-person trip in his upper years he still looks back fondly on the social experiences he had in his first two years of pre-pandemic university He recalled one day when a group of his friends were working on an assignment together and had suddenly realized that they had worked straight through the day and had yet to eat anything The group of friends ended up going to the Ryerson campus pub like in the grand scheme of things it wasn’t that important these kinds of memories and social experiences are what she looks forward to continuing to develop in her time in university “I’ve always heard people talk about their university experiences like it’s the best time of their lives They’re core memories that are locked in,” said Belas When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the Winter 2020 semester Belas had been finishing up her first year of university she decided to become a part-time student rather than continue to take a full course load Online university was difficult for her to focus and online school was not delivering the university experience that she wanted so she decided to drop the number of courses she was taking like she had assumed she would when she was 18 extending it made me more excited to continue doing university,” she said “I have accepted (that) I’m going to take a really long time with the university experience But it makes me kind of glad that I’m taking a long time because I can still get the actual university experience I wanted.” When thinking about the experiences she wants to have during her degree Belas says that the simple idea of doing her work in a coffee shop and going out for happy hour drinks are the kinds of things she is looking forward to.  “That was what I was really looking forward to and I still am really looking forward to,” she said “I’m a bit more hopeful because people are vaccinated Now that she has gotten to experience some of these things Belas is feeling excited about what is yet to come in her extended degree “The few experiences I’ve had that match my expectations I had about university are some of the best memories of my life.” Emma Moore was a Social Media Producer and General

On The Record students welcome input from their colleagues in the School of Journalism Please drop by the newsroom (RCC-105) to pitch your story idea to the editors We enter the body of Rui Matos’ exhibition A Sequência dos Dias and are suddenly struck by vibrant forms in black tones and twist and turn throughout the gallery space white walls of the gallery and wind through the space in a play of oppositions between concave and convex small sculptural elements follow one another and punctuate the space in different directions even if it is morphologically close to what precedes or succeeds it we can see forms that allude to a certain geometry and other forms that seem to suggest animal horns There are also holes in the base that cause the formation Throughout the exhibition there is a frequent play of shadows caused by the metal structures that Ballets of lines cover the wall and give the forms greater prominence they allude to mysterious architectural spaces that lead the gaze to the interior of matter and These tunnels will then open in another part of the piece Rui Matos’ structures are not made to be predictable The way in which they challenge the observer and surprise him is what most defines the artist and his greatest coherence But it is not possible to forget what is unique in matter and what cannot be translated into words It is on matter that we can focus our attention it is as if we were dealing only with what is concrete in matter matter that contains its own way of communicating and that cannot be described in words And throughout the exhibition there are so many moments in which matter dictates so many things that cannot be transformed into a verb sometimes through pieces that evolve in space and remind us of modernist furniture Are shelves and tables intended to prefigure symbolic exchanges Or rather semantic games that spring from the life and daily life of men The games of light and shadow perpetuate themselves in space Shadows of their own and projected shadows The allusion to the transversality of disciplines is also clearly visible both in the human-scale structures and in the small coloured models that are fixed to the wall And that remind us of an older project by Nuno Matos Thinking another scale In them we can build plots and imagine narratives giving body to a drama or an unsolvable story The colour palettes of the sculptures also leave us ambivalent about whether they are paintings or three-dimensional objects Were we not once avid readers of Clement Greenberg we would be confused and left with few tools to unravel the mystery There is even a group of pieces hanging on the walls that vary according to the colours applied stimulated to move from the imaginary of pure drawing to the architectural imaginary from the pictorial to the architectural/sculptural who said: “Il n’y a pas d’immobilite (…) Cessez toute resistance au changement” or the pieces Configurations and Tell me stories evoke precisely this interdisciplinary fluidity The artist’s most recent works also seem to evoke music the 20th century composer Cornellius Cardew Cornellius called for improvisation and a sense of freedom in the interpretation of his work said: “absolute objectivity is a mere dream” A Sequência dos Dias by Rui Matos is on show at the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes until 15 October.

are champions of volunteering and look forward to their next challenge At Galeria Quadrum we can visit Sara & André’s latest project The artist duo continues the work in circuit dialoguing with the art system and its actors I would say that Sara & André’s plastic and visual work is as important as the communicating thread that unravels the agents of their proposals Although it is a work marked by the sheer force of the idea it is at the intersection with the presentation – in this case 27 similarly shaped paintings – that the duo’s work becomes effective O Colecionador de Belas Artes is the outcome of contact established with private collectors in Portugal and their archives Following the choice of some works by the collectors it was possible to make the paintings that we can find at Galeria Quadrum I highlight three points in Sara & André’s proposal The first is about the citation work in the way the exhibition is thought out The project is a direct dialogue with António Areal’s work Areal presented 15 paintings at Galeria São Mamede In them we could find an anonymous silhouette similar to the one in Sara & André’s paintings Areal presented the collector carrying a work in the foreground At the time, Areal’s proposal was to destabilize concepts, in particular the concept of authenticity[2] Another reading of Areal’s work has to do with the mercantile character of the artistic object The collector and the spectator are agents who legitimize the work as merchandise this hypothesis is in Sara & André’s update it seems that the duo’s aim was to affirm and empower the collector’s attitude Sara & André explored aspects such as collectors’ motivations or the collectors’ contribution to the development of discourses on works of art Something that can be understood as a curatorial work – completing a collection thinking and choosing works for a particular exhibition there seems to be a balance between intuition Finding what is missing or sometimes hopelessly lost The exhibition, O Colecionador de Belas Artes, by Sara & André can be visited at the Quadrum Gallery until June 19 [1] Enamel water-based marker and alcohol-based marker on platex mounted on wood [2] “The escape from the visual stimulus of techniques in artistic and deeply aesthetic theories took our issue of authors (of a few authors) to the level of ethical intervention – a practical morality The aestheticians of the escape are just that – not of the fact of the idea of the fact: they make works which are not stimulating from the standpoint of the perceived shock but which disturb cultural

BURSASGXHomeEdge WeeklyBy This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly on November 27 the sanitary landfill operator owned by Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS) is building up its portfolio of waste-to-energy (WTE) plants with its latest win being the Bukit Payong WTE project in Batu Pahat which is being developed together with Shanghai Electric Power Generation (M) Sdn Bhd in Jeram while its second is located in Tanjung Dua Belas “The Jeram WTE project is currently being financed through project financing with a combination of equity and debt “Being one of the first WTE plants in Malaysia the Jeram WTE project financing has undergone extensive due diligence by independent professional advisers and will set a precedent in the market for WTE financing,” says Worldwide in a written response to The Edge’s questions The Jeram WTE project is expected to cost about RM1 billion and will be developed over two phases news reports stated that the Tanjung Dua Belas WTE project was estimated to cost around RM500 million we have started the pre-development works for the Tanjung Dua Belas (TG12) WTE plant and the procurement process is ongoing we are not able to expose the cost,” the group states Worldwide will explore various debt project financing instruments to determine the best limited recourse financing plan for the project Worldwide’s success in securing the Bukit Payong WTE project is a setback to Cypark Resources Bhd which had been eyeing the project as its second WTE project after the Ladang Tanah Merah WTE project in Port Dickson Cypark announced in March 2021 that it had entered into a cooperation agreement with Permodalan Darul Ta’zim Sdn Bhd (PDT) to participate in the WTE project in Johor PDT is a Johor state investment holding company A request for proposal for the Bukit Payong WTE project was called in August 2020 with the multibillion ringgit investments needed to finance the three WTE projects it will have to consider corporate exercises to raise funds for them Worldwide will list its renewable energy (RE) and environment business in the near future to fund the projects the company states that no corporate exercises have been planned for the near term The funding of WTE projects is challenging This is because of the high capital intensity of the project as well as the feed-in tariff (FiT) regime that have made WTE projects less attractive for banks to lend to compared with conventional power plants “The last quoted FiT won by SIPP Power Sdn Bhd was 37.5 sen per kW Worldwide somehow gets only 42 sen per kW for its Jeram WTE plant The difference is only four sen to five sen per kW Are you really promoting renewable?” asks an industry insider the rate difference there is 10 sen per kW — that’s how you promote renewable energy If the difference is just four sen to five sen per kW we might as well invest in conventional power plants like SIPP,” he says It has to be noted that the government is not looking at WTE plants as an RE play but rather as a method to better manage domestic waste In addition to the FiT from the power generated a WTE operator is also paid a tipping fee for the waste sent to its facilities the tipping fee is about RM55 per tonne and paid by the municipal councils from where the domestic waste comes from another industry insider revealed that Worldwide is getting a tipping fee of RM77 per tonne for the Bukit Payong WTE plant Worldwide did not provide any information on its FiT rate and tipping fees for the purpose of this story It is understood that Worldwide has not achieved financial close for both the Tanjung Dua Belas and Bukit Payong WTE projects it reveals its aspiration to be a leading player in RE “RE is an emerging sector and Worldwide is actively exploring opportunities that have high growth potential especially in championing the WTE business at the national level,” it tells The Edge Selangor seems to be aggressively pursuing WTE projects considering that the state has the biggest population in Malaysia Another state-owned entity that is embarking on a WTE project in Selangor is KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd a subsidiary of Menteri Besar Selangor Inc (MBI) KDEB Waste Management is partnering with YTL Power International Bhd to develop a green energy park in Rawang called the Sultan Idris Shah (SIS) Green Energy Park at an expected cost of around RM4.5 billion The SIS Green Energy Park will be developed over four phases of 10 years The first phase will see the development of the WTE plant which has the capacity to process 2,400 tonnes of municipal waste per day as well as generate 58mw of electricity the first WTE plant will be upgraded and expanded to process up to 100 tonnes of scheduled waste per day and generate 4.5mw of electricity managing director of KDEB Waste Management told The Edge at the company’s headquarters in Shah Alam the second WTE plant with the capacity to process 1,200 tonnes of municipal waste per day and generate 23mw of electricity will be developed This will be followed by a floating solar power plant with a capacity to generate 45mw of electricity “So we foresee this [green energy park] to be the best and fastest and [have] the most efficient technology to deal with 2,400 tonnes of waste per day,” says Ramli Together with Worldwide’s investment in the Jeram WTE plant the current investment in Selangor’s WTE projects amount to RM5.5 billion for which costs have yet to be finalised by Worldwide Selangor contributes about 29% of the daily national waste generation and this does not include the waste coming from Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya that are also dumped in landfills in the state as land that could have been used more efficiently for the growth of the state and the enjoyment of its people is currently being used as dumping grounds for waste we are collecting close to 7,000 tonnes of domestic waste per day and also 3,000 tonnes of public cleansing and bulky waste per day The national rate is about 34,000 to 35,000 tonnes per day [Selangor is] the highest generator of waste in the country,” says Ramli Together with waste coming from Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya Selangor receives about 13,000 tonnes of waste per day there is not even a single year that has shown a decrease in waste generation there is an increase of about 2% in the population in Selangor but an almost 6% increase in waste generation “That is why the Selangor government had to think of the best way to manage the waste that is more efficient
