SUMMARY:Preventing and Treating Alzheimer's Disease: A Modern Approach
DESCRIPTION:Xehetasunak \n\n\n\n\nData eta ordua:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEgoitza \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDementia and Alzheimer’s disease are a great challenge facing our society today. They are a social and health-care problem which only in the Basque Country affects over 40\,000 people\, and this figure is expected to double by 2040. \n\n\n\nNowadays\, one in ten people over 65 suffer from Alzheimer’s disease\, the most common type of dementia in the elderly. It is a neurological pathology that costs about 24\,000 euros on average per patient every year and lasts an average of 8-10 years. It is therefore undeniable that we are facing a huge public challenge that can be and should be tackled right now. \n\n\n\nIn this context\, early diagnosis\, the use of available therapies and treatments\, and research into primary and secondary prevention measures are essential strategies to raise awareness of dementia\, optimise the quality of life of patients and their family caregivers\, and even cut the number of sufferers by half over the next decade or two. \n\n\n\nNeurologist Pablo Martínez-Lage\, Scientific Director of CITA Alzheimer Foundation\, will be in charge of presenting the most important aspects of this disease at a talk in Bilbao called “Preventing and Treating Alzheimer’s Disease: A Modern Approach”\, at 7pm on 5 March\, at Bidebarrieta Library (Calle Bidebarrieta\, 4). \n\n\n\nAmongst other things\, Martínez-Lage will talk about how this disease works\, risk factors and current treatments to control or delay onset. The doctor will also analyse the current role of early diagnosis\, clinical tests and the importance of prevention. \n\n\n\nThis talk is part of the “Scientific Bidebarrieta” series\, an initiative organised every month by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Library to discuss current scientific issues. \n\n\n\nAll of the talks are free\, subject to available seating. However\, attendees need to pick up an invite at the library\, from 28 February to 5 March. Invitations can be collected from 10am to 2pm and from 4pm to 8pm\, Monday to Friday. \n\n\n\nFor those who are not able to attend\, the talks are streamed live here.

SUMMARY:Dialogues on the border: Talk by artist Esther Ferrer and composer Tom Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Xehetasunak \n\n\n\n\nData eta ordua:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEgoitza \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlthough the relationship between different forms of knowledge may seem impossible\, the truth is that in many cases the link between them is essential and inevitable. Arts and sciences are a living example of the connection existing between different fields of study. And although it can be difficult to think about how artistic creation and scientific research can coexist\, the truth is that there are professionals who combine these disciplines in their daily work. \n\n\n\nAn example of this are the San Sebastian artist Esther Ferrer and the American minimalist composer Tom Johnson\, the protagonists of the first edition of the program “Dialogues on the border”\, which will be held on March 12 at 7:00 pm at the Bidebarrieta Library of Bilbao (Calle Bidebarrieta\, 4). \n\n\n\nThe event\, whose main objective is to create a space for dialogue between arts and sciences\, will gather in the Basque capital\, professors Josu Rekalde (Fine Arts) and Raúl Ibánez (Science and Technology) from the University of the Basque Country to discuss with Ferrer and Johnson the use of mathematics in their creative processes. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the “Scientific Bidebarrieta” series\, a monthly initiative organised by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Library to discuss current scientific issues. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\nThe San Sebastian artist Esther Ferrer is a pioneer of the performance art and one of its top representatives in Spain. Her work has been recognised with multiple awards such as the National Plastic Arts Award (2008)\, the Gure Artea Award (2012) and Marie Claire de l’Art Contemporain Award (2014). In her works\, exhibited all over the world\, multiple references to mathematics appear (prime numbers\, infinity in the Pi number\, geometry\, space and time …) related to minimalism\, conceptual art and feminism. \n\n\n\nThe musician Tom Johnson is a minimalist and theoretic composer of American music. He uses simple forms\, limited scales and mathematical elements such as combinatorics\, symmetry\, numbers or fractals for his compositions Some of his most outstanding works are the renowned Four Note Opera (1972)\, Rational Melodies (1982) and Kientzy Loops\, awarded with the French national award “Victoires de la musique 2000”; or more recent melodies such as Galileo (2001)\, Mosaics (2002) or Vermont Rhythms (2008). \n\n\n\nAll of the talks are free\, subject to available seating. However\, attendees must request an invite at the library\, from 7 to 12 March. Invitations can be collected from 10am to 2pm and from 4pm to 8pm\, Monday to Friday. \n\n\n\nFor those who are not able to attend\, the talks are streamed live here.

SUMMARY:Pi Day
DESCRIPTION:Xehetasunak \n\n\n\n\nData eta ordua:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEgoitza \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe number π is one of the most important mathematical constants that exist. π is a fascinating number that is extremely popular\, and even has its own day. Pi Day has been celebrated on March 14th every year since 1988. The event was the physicist Larry Shaw’s idea\, who put forward the proposal and added that the day also coincided with Albert Einstein’s date of birth. In addition\, the way in which March 14th is written in US English and in Basque coincides with the first three digits of the number. (3-14 martxoaren 14 in Basque / 3-14\, March 14th in US English) \n\n\n\nIn recent years\, Pi Day celebrations have been expanding\, turning the day into an event that goes beyond the scope of mathematics. π is present in physics\, in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle\, in the Theory of Relativity\, and Coulomb’s Law. It appears in geology when estimating the length of rivers; in biochemistry when studying the structure of a DNA molecule; in astronomy when studying the shape of the universe\, and in many more applications that affect our day-to-day lives. \n\n\n\nWe will be taking part in the Pi Day celebrations in 2018 with a special BCAM-NAUKAS event\, which will take place throughout the entire day (Thursday\, March 14th) at the UPV/EHU Bizkaia Aretoa building. BCAM-NAUKAS will include mathematical workshops for students during the morning\, and a series of short lectures aimed at the general public in the afternoon. \n\n\n\nThe event is an initiative from the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM) and the Chair of Scientific Culture of the University of the Basque Country. \n\n\n\nPi Day Programme\n\n\n\n9:00 – 16:30 Mathematical Workshops\n\n\n\nWorkshops for students in the last years of primary school\, and secondary school students. The objective is to introduce young people to mathematics in a playful and attractive way\, aiming to make them interested in this science. \n\n\n\n\nPrimary school  5- 6 PS grades\n\n09:00 – 10:00: Mosaics (Nelo Maestre)\n\n\n\n10:30 – 11:30: Mosaics (Nelo Maestre)\n\n\n\n12:00 – 13:00: The Moebius Strip (Juan Miguel Ribera)\n\n\n\n15:15 – 16:15: The Moebius Strip (Juan Miguel Ribera)\n\n\n\n\n\nSecondary school 1-2 SS grades\n\n09:00 – 10:00: Gigant Games (Pedro Alegría – Raúl Ibáñez)\n\n\n\n10:30 – 11:30: Gigant Games (Pedro Alegría – Raúl Ibáñez)\n\n\n\n12:00 – 13:00: Gigant Games (Pedro Alegría – Raúl Ibáñez)\n\n\n\n15:15 – 16:15: Gigant Games (Pedro Alegría – Raúl Ibáñez)\n\n\n\n\n\nSecundaria ESO/DBH 3-4\n\n09:00 – 10:00: Perspective (Tania Giraldo)\n\n\n\n10:30 – 11:30: Perspective (Tania Giraldo)\n\n\n\n12:00 – 13:00: Balloon-aided (Fracisco González)\n\n\n\n15:15 – 16:15: Ballon-aided (Francisco González)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe workshops have a maximum capacity of 40 people.
