Summary

"At Scale" explores the transformative power of measurement science, revealing how our ability to quantify the world has shaped human civilization from ancient trading systems to modern technological achievements. The book presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of measurement, from rudimentary units based on human body parts to today's sophisticated International System of Units (SI), demonstrating how standardized measurements have become the backbone of scientific progress and global innovation.

 
Through a well-structured exploration across three main sections, the book illuminates the fundamental principles of metrology, contemporary measurement technologies, and emerging frontiers in measurement science. Readers discover how precision engineering and standardization have enabled remarkable achievements, from semiconductor manufacturing to space exploration. The text skillfully balances technical content with accessible explanations, using real-world case studies to illustrate complex concepts in measurement accuracy, precision, and uncertainty.

 
What sets this book apart is its comprehensive examination of measurement science's interdisciplinary impact, connecting physical measurements to global trade, human perception, and information theory. The author methodically builds understanding through practical examples, making advanced concepts accessible to both specialists and general readers. This approach creates a valuable resource for scientists and engineers while remaining engaging for anyone interested in understanding how measurement capabilities continue to drive technological advancement and scientific discovery.

    ¿Y si todo lo que hemos creído sobre el sol y la salud está mal? 
    Durante años, nos han enseñado a temer al sol, a protegernos de sus rayos y a evitar la exposición. Sin embargo, investigaciones recientes están desafiando esta narrativa, revelando que la luz solar, lejos de ser un enemigo, puede ser un poderoso aliado para nuestra salud. 
    En este esclarecedor libro, el autor examina rigurosamente los últimos estudios científicos sobre la exposición solar y su impacto en el cuerpo humano. A lo largo de sus páginas, se desmontan mitos profundamente arraigados y se destacan los beneficios de una adecuada exposición solar para la salud inmunológica, cardiovascular y emocional. Se exploran a fondo temas clave como la producción de vitamina D, la regulación del ritmo circadiano y el papel esencial de la melatonina y la melanina en la prevención de enfermedades. 
    El texto profundiza en las controversias que rodean el uso de protectores solares, el aumento de los casos de osteoporosis, los efectos nocivos de la luz artificial y la relación entre la exposición al sol y ciertos tipos de cáncer, todo ello basado en estudios de alta calidad y metaanálisis recientes. 
    Este volumen forma parte de una serie de cinco libros dedicados a los pilares fundamentales de la salud: la luz solar, el ayuno intermitente, los hábitos tóxicos modernos, la glucosa y los biorritmos. Una serie científica, clara y transformadora basada en la evidencia más contundente de los últimos años.

    Risk Management and ISO 31000 -...

    Risk management is a primary concern for any organisation. Its significance has only increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organisations need to prepare for all types of threats, both probable (a server breaking down) and improbable (the office being flooded), to ensure that their operations can survive and adapt to continue with BAU (business as usual) in the face of a disaster.
    Yet risk management isn't solely about preventing negative outcomes, it is also about an organisation taking a known risk to uncover new opportunities to improve the organisation. For example, the transition of employees to remote working could risk an organisation's security as an employee could connect their laptop to an unsecure Wi-Fi connection. However, as demonstrated in the pandemic, remote working helped protect employees as the risk of infecting one another with COVID-19 was reduced.
    Read this pocket guide to understand how:
    
    - Risk-based management can prepare your organisation for future threats and therefore help the success of a BCP (business continuity plan);
    - To identify whether the opportunities gained from a 'risky' decision can outweigh the perceived threat;
    - The principles of ISO 31000 can help your organisation develop a framework for its approach to risk management;
    - The guidelines of ISO 31000 can be interwoven with controls in other standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001; and
    - The organisation must continually review its approach to risk management to stay prepared for the latest threats.
