Modern biotechnology is revolutionising agriculture, medicine, manufacturing, and even protecting the environment with biodegradable substances and other advances.
Sodobna biotehnologija je revolucionarno spremenila kmetijstvo, medicino, predelovalno industrijo in celo zaščitila okolje z biorazgradljivimi snovmi in drugimi izboljšavami. Dva palestinska akademika, dr. Yaqoub Alashhab in dr.
“Biotechnology is one of the most important revolutions in science in the last two decades,” explains Alashhab, who is a specialist in molecular genetics.
“Biotehnologija je ena najpomembnejših revolucij v znanosti v zadnjih dveh desetletjih,” pojasnjuje Alashhab, ki je specialist za molekularno genetiko.
But this treatment is incredibly expensive and is not always feasible.
Vendar je ta obdelava neverjetno draga in ni vedno izvedljiva.
However, with increasing food prices and a growing global population, reclaiming that land would be of immense economic and social value, not to mention good for the environment.
A obnova te zemlje bi imela ob vedno višjih cenah hrane in naraščanju svetovnega prebivalstva izjemno gospodarsko in družbeno vrednost, da ne omenjamo dobrih strani za okolje.
With EU and World Bank assistance, these ambitious young scientists set up the Biotechnology Training and Research Unit at the Palestine Polytechnic University (PPU) in Hebron.
S pomočjo EU in Svetovne banke sta ta ambiciozna mlada znanstvenika ustanovila enoto za biotehnološko usposabljanje in raziskave pri Palestinski politehnični univerzi (PPU) v Hebronu.
The unit not only offers training to graduate students, but also carries out a wide range of relevant research in the local context, such as into the eradication of poultry and plant diseases.
Enota ne ponuja le usposabljanja dodiplomskih študentov, temveč izvaja tudi vrsto ustreznih raziskovalnih nalog v lokalnem kontekstu, na primer o izkoreninjenju perutninskih in rastlinskih bolezni.
Since its inception, the unit has rapidly grown and a third laboratory was due to open during the summer of 2008.
Enota že od začetka hitro raste in poleti 2008 je bil odprt tretji laboratorij.
In addition, they have collaborated with Bethlehem University to create a new two-year master’s in biotechnology.
Poleg tega sodeluje z Betlehemsko univerzo zaradi uvedbe novega dvoletnega magistrskega študija biotehnologije.
The Institute for Nature Management Problems and Ecology at Ukraine’s National Academy of Sciences is one partner in the EU-funded CLEANSOIL project which has developed a method for the regeneration of contaminated soil.
Inštitut za upravljanje problemov z naravo in ekologijo na ravni ukrajinske nacionalne akademije znanosti je eden od partnerjev projekta Čista zemlja, ki ga _BAR_ financira EU, in je razvil način za regeneracijo okužene zemlje.
The approach was successfully tested on contaminated soil in Ukraine and Russia.
Pristop je bil uspešno preskušen na onesnaženi zemlji v Ukrajini in Rusiji.
Helping software engineers make IT
Pomoč inženirjem programske opreme pri izdelavi IT
PPU is also using EU funds to upgrade its status in the global information and communication technologies (ICTs) revolution.
PPU uporablja tudi sklade EU za izboljšanje svojega statusa v globalni revoluciji informacijskih in komunikacijskih tehnologij (IKT).
It has established a training programme for software engineering graduates and a scheme to incubate ICT start-ups.
Ustanovila je program za usposabljanje diplomantov inženiringa programske opreme in program za ustanavljanje novih podjetij IKT.
These and other projects are supported by the Tertiary Education Project (TEP) which aims to boost Palestinian higher education policy-making, planning and management capacities.
Te in druge projekte podpira projekt terciarnega izobraževanja (TEP), ki ima cilj povečati zmogljivosti oblikovanja politike, načrtovanja in vodenja palestinskega visokošolskega izobraževanja.
Palestinian academia is also involved in other EU science and education programmes, such as the Tempus programme to modernise higher education.
Palestinski akademski krogi sodelujejo tudi pri drugih znanstvenih in izobraževalnih programih EU, npr. v programu Tempus za posodobitev visokošolskega izobraževanja.
Marking sleeper cells
Označevanje mirujočih celic
The majority of European Union citizens, a recent survey found, are in favour of closer co-operation with neighbouring countries.
Večina državljanov Evropske unije, kot je ugotovila nedavna raziskava, je naklonjena tesnejšemu sodelovanju s sosednjimi državami.
Cancer occurs when cells in our bodies start misbehaving, and copying themselves incorrectly.
Rak se pojavi, kadar se začnejo celice v našem telesu narobe obnašati in se nepravilno reproducirajo.
While we all carry defective, or cancerous cells, our immune system usually keeps them under control.
Čeprav vsi nosimo v sebi okvarjene ali rakaste celice, jih naš imunski sistem navadno drži pod nadzorom.
For any of a number of genetic, environmental and lifestyle reasons, this process can go wrong, triggering cancer.
Zaradi katerega koli od številnih genetskih ali okoljskih razlogov ali življenjskega sloga pa lahko ta proces skrene narobe in sproži raka.
In Europe, an estimated 3.2 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year and around 1.7 million Europeans die of the disease, with the most common form being breast cancer.
Po ocenah je v Evropi vsako leto diagnosticiranih 3,2 milijona novih primerov raka, okrog 1,7 milijona Evropejcev pa zaradi te bolezni umre, večina zaradi raka na dojki.

Given the fact that cancers can be hereditary and interfere with the normal genetic functioning of the body, the field of genetics and gene therapy holds a great deal of promise by helping to locate cancerous genes and the means of fighting them.
Glede na dejstvo, da je rak lahko dedna bolezen in moti normalno genetsko delovanje telesa, dajeta področje genetike in genska terapija veliko upanja, da bo mogoče locirati karcinogene gene in najti sredstvo za boj proti njim.
The EU and each of its neighbours agree on how to build closer relations and support reforms over a three-to-five-year period.The joint commitments are spelled out in socalled Action Plans.
EU in vse njene sosede so se dogovorili o tem, kako bodo zgradili tesnejše odnose in podprli reforme v tri- do petletnem obdobju. Skupne zaveze so zapisane v tako imenovanih akcijskih načrtih.
Expertise and funding (almost €12 billion from 2007 to 2013) is available under the ‘European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument’ (ENPI) to assist with modernisation and reform.
V okviru “Evropskega sosedskega in partnerskega instrumenta” (ENPI) je na voljo strokovno znanje in _BAR_ financiranje (skoraj 12 milijard € v času od 2007 do 2013) za pomoč pri posodobitvi in reformi.
iPark is a Jordanian technology incubator which aims to be a catalyst to fuel the entrepreneurial process that is pivotal to Jordan’s economic development.

Israel has a similar R & D culture and practices to those of Europe, which is why it is fully associated with the Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7) and contributes significantly to its budget.
Izrael ima podobno RR-kulturo in prakse kot Evropa, zato je v celoti povezan s Sedmim okvirnim programom za raziskave (FP7) in znatno prispeva v njegov proračun.
In fact, Israel is one of the most important investors in research and development in the world, setting aside nearly 5% of its gross domestic product for the purpose.
Izrael je pravzaprav eden najpomembnejših vlagateljev v raziskave in razvoj na svetu, saj odmerja skoraj 5 % svojega bruto domačega proizvoda v ta namen.
“We seek to incubate viable companies that will create jobs,” explains Omar Hamarrieh, the technology park’s manager.
V okviru FP7 je Izrael vključen v širok niz projektov, vključno z generiranjem kvantuma “super tokov” in zasnov za prihodnji internet.
Firms that have graduated from this ve-year-old incubator now employ over 300 people.
V času FP6 (2002–2006) je bil Izrael vključen v več kot 500 projektov.
Under FP7, Israel is involved in a wide range of projects, including the generation of quantum‘super currents’and designs for the future internet.
“Skušamo inkubirati družbe, sposobne preživetja, ki bodo ustvarjale delovna mesta,” pojasnjuje Omar Hamarrieh, vodja tehnološkega parka.
During FP6 (2002-2006), Israel was involved in over 500 projects.

It is the only company in the world offering an effective security system for Flash media developers that prevents the theft of their code.
Je edina družba na svetu, ki ponuja učinkovit varnostni sistem za razvijalce Flash-medijev in preprečuje krajo njihove kode.
“I created this software when Flash was still not seen as a serious development platform,” recalls Eyad, the young founder of the company.“Now that it is popular, we have a large client base.”
“To programsko opremo sem ustvaril, ko Flash še ni veljal za resno razvojno platformo,” se spominja Eyad, mladi ustanovitelj družbe. “Zdaj, ko je priljubljen, imamo veliko bazo strank.”
The human body is a beautiful piece of natural engineering.
Človeško telo je čudovit primerek naravnega inženiringa.
Even when damaged, it often has the ability to selfdiagnose and repair itself.
Tudi kadar je poškodovano, ima pogosto sposobnost za samodiagnozo in lastno obnovo.
However, certain defensive mechanisms in the body can begin to malfunction, and what started o as a healing process may then become destructive.
Vendar lahko začnejo nekateri obrambni mehanizmi v telesu narobe delovati in tisto, kar se je morda začelo kot proces zdravljenja, postane pogubno.

Unleashing the power of science iPark, which is hosted by the Jordanian Higher Council for Science and Technology (HCST), belongs to a network of half a dozen such incubators operating in Jordan under the auspices of the Jordan Enterprise Development Corporation.
iPark, ki ga gosti Jordanski višji svet za znanost in tehnologijo (HCST), spada v omrežje pol ducata takih inkubatorjev v Jordaniji, ki delujejo v okviru Jordanske podjetniške razvojne družbe.
In cancers, much the same occurs with genes.
Sproščena moč znanosti
Fibroproliferative wound healing is a case in point.
Tak primer je celjenje ran s čezmerno rastjo vlaken.
“As some people get older, the wound-healing processes in the body start to misbehave.
“Pri nekaterih ljudeh začne v starosti narobe potekati proces celjenja ran v telesu. Normalna brazgotina zapre rano z nefunkcionalnim tkivom.
But in fibro-proliferative repair, the scar continues to grow until it takes over the entire organ, such as the lung, the liver, the kidneys, or even the skin, leading to the complete loss of organ function,” explains Professor Rolf Ziesche of the Medical University of Vienna.
Pri celjenju s čezmerno rastjo vlaken pa brazgotina raste še naprej, dokler ne zajame celotnega organa, na primer pljuč, jeter, ledvic ali celo kože, in povzroči popolno izgubo funkcije organa,” pojasnjuje profesor Rolf Ziesche z Medicinske univerze na Dunaju.
Knowledge is the world’s most valuable commodity.
Znanje je najvrednejša dobrina na svetu.
Research and development, innovation and higher education are essential for sustainable economic growth and better quality of life.
Raziskave in razvoj, inovacije in visokošolsko izobraževanje so bistveni za trajnostno gospodarsko rast in boljšo kakovost življenja.
To help take these efforts a step further, an EU-funded programme kicked oin 2008.
Da bi pomagali narediti korak naprej v teh prizadevanjih, je bil leta 2008 uveden program, ki ga _BAR_ financira EU.
It seeks to increase the commercial potential of Jordanian R & D activities and brings together key players in Jordan and beyond.
Ta skuša povečati komercialni potencial jordanskih raziskovalno-razvojnih dejavnosti in povezati ključne udeležence v Jordaniji in zunaj nje.
“When slightly over-expressed, SF2/ASF is capable of transforming cells, which can then form tumours,” explains Dr Rotem Karni of the Hebrew University Medical School’s Department of Biochemistry which is coordinating the project.
Z izraelskim partnerjem, Univerzo Bena Guriona v Negevu, sodeluje pri raziskovalnem projektu, ki je namenjen razumevanju genetike tega stanja, ki je prizadelo okrog 680 milijonov ljudi po vsem svetu, in pri razvoju zdravljenja.
He is working with an Israeli partner, the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, on a research project to better understand the genetics of this condition which affects around 680 million people worldwide, and to develop treatments.

Scientific collaboration between the EU and its ENP partners goes back a long way.
Znanstveno sodelovanje med EU in partnerji Evropske sosedske politike traja že zelo dolgo.
For more than two decades, the Union’s research Framework Programmes have invited organisations from neighbouring countries and other parts of the world to take part in European collaborative research projects.
Raziskovalni okvirni programi Unije že več kot dve desetletji vabijo organizacije iz sosednjih držav in drugih delov sveta, da sodelujejo v evropskih skupnih raziskovalnih projektih.
“Our job is to create better networks between business and academia nationally, and also to build links between the Jordanian and European research communities,” says Majeda al-Assaf of the HCST.
“Naše delo je ustvariti boljša nacionalna omrežja med podjetji in akademskimi krogi, pa tudi zgraditi povezave med jordansko in evropskimi raziskovalnimi skupnostmi,” pravi Majeda al-Assaf iz HCST.
“We are negotiating a science and technology agreement with the EU.”
“Z EU se pogajamo o sporazumu o znanosti in tehnologiji.”
The scientists involved believe that this gene can be used to provide early warning of some cancers, and to help develop new therapies. “We believe our research will identify a new biomarker for early detection of lung and breast cancer and will facilitate the development of new anti-cancer drugs.”
Znanstveniki, raziskovalci, podiplomski študentje in univerze imajo korist od programov izmenjave, kot so štipendije Marie Curie in program Erasmus Mundus za podiplomske študente in program Tempus za posodobitev visokošolskega izobraževanja.
Scientists, researchers, postgraduate students and universities benefit from exchange programmes, such as Marie Curie Fellowships and the Erasmus Mundus programme for postgraduates and the Tempus programme for modernising higher education.
Sodelujoči znanstveniki so prepričani, da bi lahko ta gen uporabili kot zgodnje opozorilo za nekatere vrste raka in pomoč pri razvoju novih terapij. “Verjamemo, da bo naše raziskovanje odkrilo nov biomarker za zgodnje odkrivanje pljučnega raka in raka na dojki ter olajšalo razvoj novih zdravil proti raku.”
“In the past, the private sector was never really involved in innovation,” continues Enzo Sciolla, a technical consultant on the EU-funded project. “Identifying existing research that can be commercialised is a good starting point for attracting private enterprise.”
“V preteklosti ni bil zasebni sektor nikoli zares vključen v inovacije,”nadaljuje Enzo Sciolla, tehnični svetovalec pri projektu, ki ga _BAR_ financira EU.“Določitev obstoječih raziskav, ki bi jih bilo mogoče komercializirati, je dobro izhodišče za privabljanje zasebnega podjetništva.”

“For a small country like Israel, nurturing good business ties with the EU is crucial,” explains Yossi Vardi, one of Israel’s leading high-tech pioneers who chairs the Israeli side of the dialogue.
“Za majhno državo, kot je Izrael, je gojenje dobrih poslovnih vezi z EU bistveno,”pojasnjuje Yossi Vardi, eden od izraelskih vodilnih visokotehnoloških pionirjev, ki predseduje izraelski strani dialoga.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) everywhere can face problems securing the financing to expand their businesses.
Mala in srednja podjetja (MSP) lahko povsod naletijo na težave pri zagotavljanju [ financiranja za razširitev svojih poslov.
This challenge is particularly pronounced for Palestinian SMEs, given the political uncertainty in which they operate and the relatively risk-averse nature of the local banking culture.
Ta izziv je še posebno pereč za palestinska MSP glede na politično negotovost, v kateri poslujejo, in tveganjem nenaklonjeno naravo lokalne bančne kulture.
To encourage banks to lend money to SMEs with sound business propositions but which lack collateral, the EU and Germany are financing the European-Palestinian Credit Guarantee Fund to underwrite loans to small businesses employing up to 20 people.
Da bi spodbudili banke, da bi posojale denar MSP z zdravimi poslovnimi predlogi, a pomanjkljivim zavarovanjem, EU in Nemčija [ financirata Evropsko-palestinski posojilno jamstveni sklad, da prevzame jamstvo za mala podjetja, ki zaposlujejo do 20 ljudi.
The group is progressing at a rapid rate.
Skupina hitro napreduje.
In its first few months, it has already started work on a policy position paper; established several sectoral forums in areas as diverse as telecoms and the new media, finance, as well as energy and green technologies; and has set up encounters between dozens of entrepreneurs.
Že v prvih nekaj mesecih je začela pripravljati poročilo o stališču, ustanovila nekaj sektorskih forumov na tako raznolikih področjih, kot so telekomunikacije in novi mediji, [ finance, pa tudi energija in zelene tehnologija ter uredila srečanja med ducati podjetnikov.

“The programme has helped create or preserve 2226 jobs since it started in September 2006 and will continue to do so in the future,” explains John Khoury, the Fund’s director.
“Program je od septembra 2006, ko se je začel, pomagal ustvariti ali ohraniti 2.226 delovnih mest in bo s tem nadaljeval tudi v prihodnje,” pojasnjuje John Khoury, direktor Sklada.
Some 80% of the companies benefiting from the Fund would not have received bank loans because they lack the assets to guarantee them.
Kakšnih 80 % družb, ki so imele korist od Sklada, ne bi dobilo bančnega posojila zaradi pomanjkanja sredstev za jamstvo.
Bank staalso receive training in how to evaluate the financial health of a business based on cash flow, instead of insisting on traditional loan guarantees in the form of assets.
Bančno osebje je bilo tudi na usposabljanju, kako oceniti [ finančno zdravje podjetja na podlagi denarnega toka, namesto vztrajanja na tradicionalnih posojilnih jamstvih v obliki sredstev.

Egypt is the world’s oldest tourist destination, and was already toured in Roman times.
Egipt je najstarejša turistična destinacija na svetu in so ga obiskovali že v rimskih časih.
From the pyramids and temples of Thebes, to the Red Sea and megapolis of Cairo, from the richness of its culture to the hospitality of its people, Egypt has many attractions and currently plays host to more than 10 million visitors a year, making it one of the world’s top destinations.
Od piramid in templjev vTebah do Rdečega morja in megapolisa v Kairu, od bogastva svoje kulture do gostoljubnosti ljudi, Egipt ima številne čare in trenutno gosti več kot 10 milijonov obiskovalcev na leto, zaradi česar je ena glavnih svetovnih destinacij.
