MSF is an international humanitarian association which, for over 50 years, has been providing medical aid to populations affected by armed conflict, epidemics, pandemics, natural disasters or exclusion from healthcare. MSF is independent of all political, religious or military powers, and over 95% of its funding comes from private donations. It operates in almost 70 countries, and acts impartially, based on an assessment of medical needs.
The priorities of MSF’s Luxembourg section are to raise public awareness of humanitarian issues and to raise the funds needed to finance operations. In addition, an Operational Research Unit (LuxOR) puts its expertise at the service of the development of medical research in MSF’s field operations.
To support this work, MSF Luxembourg’s Communication and Fundraising Department is looking for a
Head of Insurance & Finance Study (f/m/x)
6-month fixed-term contract – Full-time
Job objectives
The world of finance is evolving and playing an increasingly crucial role in supporting NGOs and financing humanitarian crises. Beyond traditional donor funding for humanitarian crises, more and more financial instruments focused on social impact are emerging. These include social impact bonds, participatory finance, new forms of insurance and other mechanisms that enable investors to support projects with a positive social impact, including humanitarian initiatives. The private sector is also realizing that it has a role to play in making human and financial resources available for actions that have a positive impact on the world and society around us. They know that investors are increasingly looking for investment opportunities aligned with social and environmental objectives.
Finally, some innovative financial mechanisms, such as catastrophe bonds, are designed to provide rapid financing in the event of a humanitarian crisis. These instruments are structured to trigger funds as soon as an emergency situation arises.
At MSF, we’re looking for someone who can model these initiatives and put them to work for our NGO, to finance our humanitarian response in a different way.

Equilibrio in situ
La Nivelación de Partes Móviles: Esencial para una Operación Sin Vibraciones
¿ Has percibido alguna vez temblores inusuales en un equipo industrial? ¿O sonidos fuera de lo común? Muchas veces, el problema está en algo tan básico como una falta de simetría en un elemento móvil. Y créeme, ignorarlo puede costarte bastante dinero .
El equilibrado de piezas es un paso esencial en la construcción y conservación de maquinaria agrícola, ejes, volantes y elementos de motores eléctricos. Su objetivo es claro: prevenir movimientos indeseados capaces de generar averías importantes con el tiempo .
¿Por qué es tan importante equilibrar las piezas?
Imagina que tu coche tiene una rueda desequilibrada . Al acelerar, empiezan los temblores, el manubrio se mueve y hasta puede aparecer cierta molestia al manejar . En maquinaria industrial ocurre algo similar, pero con consecuencias considerablemente más serias:
Aumento del desgaste en cojinetes y rodamientos
Sobrecalentamiento de partes críticas
Riesgo de averías súbitas
Paradas sin programar seguidas de gastos elevados
En resumen: si no se corrige a tiempo, una mínima falla podría derivar en una situación compleja.
Métodos de equilibrado: cuál elegir
No todos los casos son iguales. Dependiendo del tipo de pieza y su uso, se aplican distintas técnicas:
Equilibrado dinámico
Ideal para piezas que giran a alta velocidad, como rotores o ejes . Se realiza en máquinas especializadas que detectan el desequilibrio en dos o más planos . Es el método más fiable para lograr un desempeño estable.
Equilibrado estático
Se usa principalmente en piezas como llantas, platos o poleas . Aquí solo se corrige el peso excesivo en una sola superficie . Es ágil, práctico y efectivo para determinados sistemas.
Corrección del desequilibrio: cómo se hace
Taladrado selectivo: se perfora la región con exceso de masa
Colocación de contrapesos: tal como en neumáticos o perfiles de poleas
Ajuste de masas: habitual en ejes de motor y partes relevantes

Vaping Culture in Singapore: A Lifestyle Beyond the Hype
In today’s fast-paced world, people are always looking for ways to unwind, relax, and enjoy the moment — and for many, vaping has become a daily habit. In Singapore, where modern life moves quickly, the rise of vaping culture has brought with it a new kind of chill .

The ELFBAR RAYA D2 is another standout, offering more than just puff count — it comes with a built-in screen , so you can really make it your own.
Bundles: Smart Choices for Regular Vapers
If you vape often, buying in bulk just makes sense. Combo packs like the VAPETAPE OFFGRID COMBO or the LANA BAR 10 PCS COMBO aren’t just practical — they’re also a better deal . No more running out at the worst time, and you save a bit while you’re at it.
Flavors That Speak to You
At the end of the day, it’s all about taste. Some days you want something icy and refreshing from the Cold Series, other times you’re craving the smooth, mellow vibes of the Smooth Series. Then there are those sweet cravings — and trust us, the Sweet Series delivers.
Prefer the classic richness of tobacco? There’s a whole series for that too. And if you’re trying to cut back on nicotine, the Zero-Nicotine Line gives you all the flavor without the buzz.
