Sheinbaum recibe a Mariana Mazzucato para revisar Plan México

Claudia Sheinbaum recibió en Palacio Nacional a la economista Mariana Mazzucato para analizar el informe sobre la transformación del Estado y la ejecución del Plan México.

Por Paola Ramírez | Reportera                                                       

La presidente Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo recibió en Palacio Nacional a la economista Mariana Mazzucato, con quien conversó sobre el informe Transformación del Estado para el Plan México, elaborado junto con la investigadora Lara Merling.

El encuentro ocurre después de que ambas especialistas presentaron un estudio que plantea modificaciones en la capacidad del Estado para ejecutar el Plan México, mediante una mayor coordinación institucional, inversión pública y privada y políticas orientadas a objetivos productivos y sociales.

El informe fue elaborado por el Instituto para la Innovación y el Propósito Público de University College London (UCL) y plantea que el reto del Plan México no se limita a establecer metas nacionales, sino a construir una estructura estatal capaz de llevarlas a cabo.

Mazzucato plantea transformación del Estado

El documento propone concentrar esfuerzos en cuatro áreas: seguridad hídrica, salud, energía limpia y soberanía alimentaria. Para ello, plantea coordinar dependencias, instituciones financieras de desarrollo y distintos sectores productivos.

Entre sus recomendaciones figura proteger la inversión pública productiva, revisar las reglas fiscales para reconocer los activos generados mediante inversión, coordinar a los bancos de desarrollo y utilizar las compras gubernamentales como una herramienta para impulsar capacidades productivas nacionales.

Mazzucato también plantea establecer condiciones para que las empresas que reciban financiamiento, contratos o concesiones públicas asuman compromisos relacionados con inversión productiva, proveedores nacionales, empleos de calidad y reinversión. –sn–

Webinar announcement (29 September 2026) and (free) registration link:

# Digitally enabled sustainable metals recycling for circular economies

As demand for critical materials continues to grow, efficient and sustainable recycling processes are becoming essential to the transition towards a net zero and circular economy. In this webinar, researchers from the EPSRC-funded SUMER project will demonstrate how digital twins, predictive modelling and process optimisation are being used to transform metals separation processes, enabling more sustainable and efficient recovery of valuable resources from waste streams.

A week or so ago I posted an item about the Edgeworth family that included a reference to Kenneth Edgeworth, an amateur astronomer of some note who first posited the existence of what is now known as the Kuiper belt. Here’s another interesting connection. Kenneth Edgeworth was born in 1880 in Daramona House in Street in County Westmeath. The owner of this house was Edgeworth’s uncle, another astronomer called William Edward Wilson who built an observatory next to Daramona House.

Here are pictures of (left) house and (right) the observatory, neither of look in particularly good condition!

After independence many of the large houses owned by the rich English who had run Ireland until then fell into disrepair or were destroyed.

Anyway, on top of the two-storey observatory building there used to be a dome that housed a 24″ Grubb reflecting telescope. Here’s an old picture showing what it looked like in better times, around 1900:

The dome is no longer there, and neither is the telescope. The latter was donated to the University of London in 1925 eventually housed in the Observatory at Mill Hill, now run by University College London. Here is an excerpt from the history of the University of London Observatory:

W.E. Wilson established an observatory at Daramona, Street, County Westmeath, in 1871 and equipped it with a 12-inch equatorial reflector by Grubb. Wilson (born in 1851, elected FRS in 1896, an original member of the BAA, awarded an honorary DSc by the University of Dublin in 1901, High Sheriff of Co. Westmeath in 1894), observed the transit of Venus in 1882 and solar eclipses at Oran in 1870 and Spain in 1900, published many papers in Proc. R. Soc, Proc. R. Dublin Soc., Proc. R. Irish Acad., etc., and died in 1908) enlarged his observatory in 1881 and installed a 24-inch reflector by Grubb on the mounting previously used for the 12-inch reflector. Ten years later a new mounting was constructed. It is this mounting which was moved to Mill Hill in 1928. Dr. Wilson used his telescope to make some of the best photographs of his time of star clusters and nebulae, and he worked extensively on problems of solar physics and the solar constant. The telescope may be used in Newtonian and Cassegrain forms; the focal length of the mirror is 10 feet and the equivalent focal length at the Cassegrain focus is approximately 42 feet. The telescope was moved in 1928 from Ireland to University College, where minor modifications were made to the focussing arrangements and plate-holder, and an electric motor was added to rewind the driving clock automatically.

The Wilson telescope was retired from active service in 1974 and moved to the World Museum in Liverpool where, as far as I know, it remains on display to this day.

⚽ 🏆 Rassismus nach Sportereignissen?
Eine aktuelle soziologische Studie von Wissenschaftlern der #UniKöln, der #UniUtrecht und dem #UniversityCollegeLondon zeigt, dass Sportgroßereignisse wie die Fußball-EM 2020 zu einem Anstieg rassistischer Hasskriminalität führen können.

Fans mit negativen Voreinstellungen gegenüber Minderheiten sind besonders anfällig für Gewalt.
