Byggprojektet, Aishamoskén (Norrköping - Sweden)
_________________________________
Aishamoskén drivs av Norrköpings islamiska center som bildades år 1982 i en liten lokal i Norrköping. 1986 förvärvade man en markyta på 2170 kvadratmeter i bostadsområdet porten i Hageby. Byggnationen av Aishamoskén gick av stapeln våren 2014. Det var med glädje som muslimerna i Norrköping såg ett slut på en trettioårs väntan på att få en ändamålsenlig moské.
Det man då inte visste var att någon planerade för att rasera deras drömmar, att med sina illvilja handgripligen sätta moskén i brand och utplåna den lycka som just hade börjat gro bland Norrköpings muslimer. Nyheten om en anlagd brand den 25 juli 2014 spred sig som en chockvåg bland församlingsmedlemmarna och det tilltänkta bygget stannade upp helt.
Styrelsen för Aishamoskén valde efter denna händelse att omprojektera och investera i mer brandsäkra material. Ett nödvändigt beslut som dock inneburit ökade kostnader.
Juli 2015 satte byggnadsarbetet igång på nytt och fram tills idag står ca 80% av byggnationen klar, alhamdullillah.
Så skynda, må Allâh vara er nådig, till en enorm välgärning vars godhet består och är till nytta för bidragsgivaren, in sha Allah.
Allâh säger:
varje god handling som ni sänder framför er [till Domen] skall ni återfinna hos Allâh, förskönad och [följd av] en rikare belöning.
{alMuzzammil 20}

The Virtual Autopsy Table
Have a look at the inside of a human being. In this installation, with the help of an easy to use multi touch interface, the user can freely interact with stunning volumetric 3D datasets of real scanned human bodies.
The datasets in this demo have been created with state of the art techniques within medical imaging; Dual Energy Computed Tomography and by using new methods in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The data has been imported straight from the scanners and has not been edited or modified before rendering, what you see is not a 3D model, its a full volumetric description of a human body.
The visualization techniques used in this table is already utilized successfully as a compliment to the conventional autopsy. Apart from avoiding cutting in the body the medical experts, such as coroners, can see things that are difficult to discover in a conventional autopsy. Furthermore, the technique opens up for new opportunities in countries where autopsies are not accepted due to cultural reasons. The technique will revolutionize the traditional health care in many areas.
The technique can also, for educational purposes, be used in education environments and in public institutions such as museums, Science and Technology centers.
The Virtual Autopsy Table is developed by Norrköping Visualization Centre in collaboration with CMIV
The installation is based on research results from CMIV, VITA at Linköping University, Sweden and Swedish National Board of Forensic Medicine.

'Evolving Evolution'
Watch the whole series here:
The pace of change is accelerating; we – everything - is evolving faster, with “evolving” stripped of the normative sense of “getting better” imposed by western culture.
Man has been thinking systematically about evolution at least since the early greek philosopher Anaximander (c. 610 – c. 546 BC) posited that “apeiron” – an endless, unlimited primor- dial mass, subject to neither old age nor decay – perpetually yielded fresh materials from which everything we perceive is derived. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace formulated the idea of natural selection, which Darwin described in 1859 in the Origin of species: as an inherently slow process;
“...Natural selection acts only by taking advantage of slight successive variations; she can never take a great and sudden leap, but must advance by short and sure, though slow steps.”
Fast forward to the early 21st century and it’s become clear that “slow” and “evolution” don’t belong in the same sentence, if they ever did.

Anders Ynnerman: Visualizing the medical data explosion
Today medical scans produce thousands of images and terabytes of data for a single patient in mere seconds, but how do doctors parse this information and determine what's useful? At TEDxGöteborg, scientific visualization expert Anders Ynnerman shows us sophisticated new tools -- like virtual autopsies -- for analyzing this myriad data, and a glimpse at some sci-fi-sounding medical technologies in development. This talk contains some graphic medical imagery.

Errand Källén - Weather Prediction and the Scalability Challenge Final
Weather prediction using high performance computing relies on having physically based models of the atmosphere that can deliver forecasts well in advance of the weather actually happening. Numerical weather prediction (NWP) is an initial value problem where globally distributed observations, coming from satellites as well as the Earth's surface and in-situ atmospheric observations, are continuously processed to define starting points for weather forecasts. Typically tens of millions of observed quantities have to be processed in real time within an hour. A forecast model is then integrated forwards in time out to two weeks ahead, also within an hour. The forecast information is subsequently distributed to users all over the world. A European intergovernmental organisation, ECMWF (European Centre for Medium range Weather Forecasts), was established forty years ago to deliver global forecast information to its member states. The forecasts have a very high quality, regular assessments conducted by the World Meteorological Organisation show that the forecasts from ECMWF are generally better than the ones produced by other weather centres around the world.
ECMWF uses HPC in order to be able to deliver the forecasts and to continuously improve the forecast quality. One of the main challenges today is to use software that can run efficiently on an HPC with hundreds of thousands of processors. Both the forecast model and the processes used for assimilating observations and distributing the forecast outputs have to be made much more efficient than they are today. Therefore ECMWF has embarked on a scalability programme together with the NWP and climate modelling community in Europe. The programme is supported by a number of EU funded research projects as well as national and intergovernmental resources. Particular research topics are numerical algorithms, big data storage and distribution and improved parallelisation of software used in all stages of the forecasting system.
The talk will give an overview of the principles underlying numerical weather prediction as well as a description of the HPC related challenges that are facing the NWP and climate modelling communities today.
Bio: Erland Källén obtained his PhD in meteorology from Stockholm University in 1980 and since 2009 he works at ECMWF (European Centre for Medium range Weather Forecasting, Reading, UK) as Director of Research. From 1983 until 2009 he was first an associate professor and later professor in dynamic meteorology at Stockholm University. His areas of research are large scale dynamics of the atmosphere, numerical weather prediction and climate modelling. He has worked as a project leader for the European regional weather forecasting project HIRLAM and was responsible for initiating and heading the first Swedish climate modelling programme in the 1990's. As a leader of these projects he worked for the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) in Norrköping, Sweden. He also spent one year as Head of Research at the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) in Copenhagen, Denmark. During the period 2000-2006 he was Head of the Meteorology department at Stockholm University. Erland Källén is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and Academia Europea.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
