Jovino Novoa
Jovino Novoa (31 March 1945 – 1 June 2021) was a Chilean politician. He was a member of the Senate of Chile (1998–2014) and was the president of the Senate of Chile (2009–2010). He served as General Undersecretary of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship from 1979 to 1982. Unlike many others in his party, the Independent Democratic Union, Novoa was not religious and considered himself agnostic, and at times he voiced support several pro-choice positions. Likewise, within the UDI he achieved to establish the dominance of his liberal-conservative faction, which coexisted with Pablo Longueira's social-conservative current. This last one had as its characteristic the political work in poor sectors, whereas Novoa's faction was concentrated in the relation with businessmen, the empowerment of think tanks like Libertad y Desarrollo (LyD) or the training of then young or students' leaders from Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC) like Jaime Bellolio or Javier Macaya.

Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves, and received by another antenna connected to a radio receiver. Radio is very widely used in modern technology, in radio communication, radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing, and other applications.

In radar, used to locate and track objects like aircraft, ships, spacecraft and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Emphysema
Emphysema, or pulmonary emphysema, is a lower respiratory tract disease, characterised by air-filled spaces ( pneumatoses) in the lungs, that can vary in size and may be very large. The spaces are caused by the breakdown of the walls of the alveoli and they replace the spongy lung parenchyma. This reduces the total alveolar surface available for gas exchange leading to a reduction in oxygen supply for the blood. Emphysema usually affects the middle aged or older population because it takes time to develop with the effects of tobacco smoking, and other risk factors. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic risk factor that may lead to the condition presenting earlier. When associated with significant airflow limitation, emphysema is a major subtype of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow. Without COPD, the finding of emphysema on a CT lung scan still confers a higher mortality r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
