bank loans against their propertiesto start out on their own, he said,asserting it is necessary for a de-veloping country like India to haveclear land ownership rights.

Property rights will give theyouth self-confidence that can leadto their self-reliance, he said.

The beneficiaries are from 763villages across six states, including346 from Uttar Pradesh, 221 fromHaryana, 100 from Maharashtra,44 from Madhya Pradesh, 50 fromUttarakhand and two from Kar-nataka.

The focus of the campaign is not a new formula,rather the old one that all agencies including the WorldHealth Organisation, have been advocating: wearingmasks in public places, social distancing and hand hy-giene. The government will use all media avenues, in-cluding social media, to spread the message.India is second only to the United States in the totalCovid- 19 caseload and the daily spike in numbers thesedays vary anywhere between 70,000 and 90,000. Thesouthern states, which in the initial days of the pandem-ic showed signs of resistance, have given in: Kerala,Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have reported daily caseloadsof 10,000 and above this week. There are experts whopredict the numbers will see a further surge in the nexttwo months, which is also the festival season in manystates. There has been criticism that the governmentplanned poorly during the national lockdown and no ef-fective steps were taken nor massive awareness cam-paigns launched to contain the spread of the virus. Littleeffort was made to augment the healthcare infrastructurein the country, especially in the villages that have of latebeen bearing the brunt of the pandemic.After four editions of the lockdown the government hasbeen relaxing the controls that had been imposed on hu-man and economic activity. Inter- state movement ofpeople and vehicles, which was strictly banned duringlockdown, has already been restored to the pre- lock-down days. Schools and educational institutions are ontheir way to return to normal functioning, albeit withprecautionary measures. Recreational centres, includingcinema halls are also being opened.With the government allowing places of worship tofunction, the next weeks will see devotees flocking totheir favourite pilgrim centres for celebrating their an-nual festivals. There have been indications that Keralasaw a sudden spurt in infection after Onam, the univer-sal festival of the people of the state. If that is an indi-cation, then the festivals across India could turn out tobe super spreader events and only a massive campaigncan help the country escape another disastrous bout ofvirus spread. Elections to the Bihar Assembly are sched-uled to be held in November. The Election Commissionof India has announced restrictions on the campaigningbut an effective implementation of the same must be en-sured in the state, which is one of the states hit hard bythe pandemic.

Second wave ahead; goeasy on festivals

Literature & HealthHow brain helps us navigate

social differencesAnew research has revealed that a

person's brain reflexes differentlywhen talking to a person from a

different socio-economic backgroundfrom their own. According to a new im-aging study by UCL and Yale researchers,our brain responds differently if we talk toa person of a different socioeco-nomic background from our owncompared to when we speak tosomeone whose background issimilar. In the study, published inthe journal Social Cognitive andAffective Neuroscience, 39 pairsof participants had a conversa-tion with each other while wear-ing headsets that tracked brainactivity.

Researchers found thatamong pairs of people who hadvery different socioeconomicbackgrounds - calculated accord-ing to education level and family income- there was a higher level of activity in anarea of the frontal lobe called the left dor-solateral prefrontal cortex. The area is as-sociated with speech production and rule-based language as well as cognitive andattentional control. The findings supportprevious research suggesting that frontallobe systems play a role in detecting biasand helping us to regulate our behaviourto avoid bias expression. The increasedactivity in the left frontal lobe was ob-served in both participants and was morealike than the brain responses of partici-pants talking to someone of a similarbackground. In a questionnaire followingtheir task, participants paired with peopleof different backgrounds reported a

slightly higher level of anxiety and effortduring their conversation than those insimilar-background pairs. Professor JoyHirsch (UCL Medical Physics & Bio-medical Engineering and Yale) said: "Forthe first time, we have identified the neu-ral mechanisms involved in social inter-

actions between people of different back-grounds. "I believe our findings offer ahopeful message. We know that humanscan have positive social encounters withothers who are different. Now we havethe neurobiological basis - our brainshave apparently developed a frontal lobesystem that helps us deal with diversity."Participants' brain activity was trackedusing a new technique called functionalnear-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS),which monitors blood flow and bloodoxygenation by measuring changes innear-infrared light and involves wearingonly a light headset. Previous studieshave involved using MRI scans, whichrequire patients to lie down and keep still,making conversation difficult.

After parliamentaryelections in Kyrgyzs-tan were declared in-

valid, several political fac-tions have been competing tofill in the positions whichhas brought the Kyrgyzstanigovernment to a standstillthis week. Kyrgyzstani Pres-ident Sooronbay Jeenbekov'slocation has been unknownsince the opposition forcesbroke into the parliamentarybuilding on Tuesday andseized other governmentcomplexes as well. Somespeculate that he has fled thecountry, The WashingtonPost reported.

However, Jeenbekovsaid that irrespective of hiswhereabouts, he still remainsin power. On Friday, he dis-missed Prime Minister Ku-batbek Boronov and his cab-inet and claimed that he isready to resign once the newleadership is appointed.

The political deadlock inKyrgyzstan has been encour-aged by a divided oppositionwhich has failed to agreeupon the new leader of theprovisional government,which in turn has made itambiguous whether a seam-less transfer of power is pos-sible.

Lawmakers fragmentedinto factions and met at sep-arate locations to decide thenew Prime Minister. Howev-er, they could not gatherenough votes for a quorum.Even the outgoing parlia-ment has not been assem-bled. ollowing the politicaluprising in Belarus and theterritorial conflict betweenArmenia and Azerbaijan, the

turbulence in Kyrgyzstan hascreated greater concerns re-garding the instability on theRussian periphery. "In a pos-sible sign that a resolution tothe Kyrgyz stalemate couldbe in the works, two rivalcandidates, Omurbek Ba-banov and Tilek Tok-togaziyev agreed on a pow-er-sharing deal for the postof the prime minister andwere backed by four par-ties," reported Washington

Post citing the local newswebsite 24.kz.

Bishkek on Friday sawrival protests which resultedin the imposition of a state ofEmergency until October 21.The military would be de-ployed to Bishkek "to organ-ize checkpoints, to preventarmed clashes, to ensure lawand order, and to protect thecivilian population," Jeen-bekov's office announced. Atone rally, a car carrying for-

mer president AlmazbekAtambayev, who was freedfrom a detention center byopposition protesters earlierthis week, was shot at, ac-cording to a video posted tosocial media. His party de-scribed the incident as "anassassination attempt" andsaid Atambayev was notharmed, Washington Postsaid. The uprising began af-ter Jeenbekov was accusedof buying votes. The protests

of Monday and Tuesday in-jured hundreds and opposi-tion forces appointed theirown ministers, includingSadyr Japarov for primeminister which was laterdeemed illegitimate. Alexan-der Bortnikov, director ofRussia's Federal SecurityService (FSB), had a phoneconversation with KyrgyzSecurity Council SecretaryOmurbek Suvanaliyev onThursday, where the Kremlin

asked to discuss the unrest.However, the statement is-sued by the Kyrgyz StateCommittee for National Se-curity said that Suvanaliyevhad been removed from hispost.

Kremlin spokesmanDmitry Peskov said onThursday, "The situationlooks like a mess and chaos,"he added that Russia is"deeply concerned about theunfolding situation."

Political crisis in Kyrgyzstan deepens

People's exposure toe n v i r o n m e n t a lnoise dropped near-

ly in half during the earlymonths of the coron-avirus pandemic, accord-ing to the University ofMichigan researcherswho analysed data fromthe Apple Hearing Study.

Researchers at U-M'sSchool of Public Healthand Apple Inc. looked atnoise exposure data fromvolunteer Apple Watchusers in Florida, NewYork, California andTexas. The analysis, oneof the largest to date, in-cluded more than a half-million daily noise levels

measured before and dur-ing the pandemic. The re-sults of this study werepublished in the journal -Environmental ResearchLetters. Daily averagesound levels dropped ap-proximately 3 decibelsduring the time that localgovernments made an-nouncements about so-cial distancing and issuedstay-at-home orders inMarch and April, com-pared to January andFebruary.

"That is a huge re-duction in terms of expo-sure and it could have agreat effect on people'soverall health outcomes

over time," said RickNeitzel, associate profes-sor of environmentalhealth sciences at U-M'sSchool of Public Health."The analysis demon-strates the utility ofeveryday use of digitaldevices in evaluating dai-ly behaviours and expo-sures."

The four states re-viewed in this analysishad differing COVID-19responses in terms ofstay-at-home orders,which showed throughthe data. "California andNew York both had real-ly drastic reductions insound that happened very

quickly, whereas Floridaand Texas had somewhatless of a reduction,"Neitzel said. Initially, thelargest drop in environ-mental sound exposurewas seen on the week-ends, where nearly 100per cent of participantsreduced their time spentabove the 75 dBA thresh-old (a sound level rough-ly as loud as an alarmclock) between Fridayand Sunday.

"But after the lock-downs, when peoplestopped physically goingto work, the pattern be-came more opaque,"Neitzel said.

Stay-at-home orders cut noise exposurenearly in half amid COVID-19: Study

Female surgeons at a largeacademic medical centreperform less complex

surgical procedures than theirmale counterparts, accordingto a new study by researchersat Massachusetts GeneralHospital (MGH).

This study, published inAnnals of Surgery, is one ofthe first to measure the prob-lem of underemploymentamong female surgeons in theUnited States, which can af-fect compensation, career ad-vancement and job satisfac-tion. Only about one in fivesurgeons practising in the USis female. Unemployment isvirtually nonexistent amongsurgeons, but many femalesurgeons, as well as profes-sional women in other fields,experience underemploy-ment--the underuse of skills--according to the Federal Re-serve Bank. "Women in sur-gery talk among themselvesabout how they may be per-ceived as less confident orcompetent, and for those rea-sons, they may have less op-portunity to do exciting andchallenging cases," says Cas-sandra Kelleher, MD, a pedi-atric surgeon at MGH andsenior author of the Annals ofSurgery study. "We wonderedif this was true, and if so,

why?" To find out, Kelleher,post-doctoral researcher Ya-Wen Chen, MD, MPH, thelead author of the study, andseveral colleagues analysed551,047 case records from op-erations performed by 131surgeons at MGH between1997 and 2018. To comparethe difficulty of surgeries thatfemales and males performed,the researchers used a univer-sally accepted metric knownas the work Relative ValueUnit (wRVU), which meas-ures the technical complexityof a procedure.

The study found that themean wRVU for cases per-formed by male surgeons was10.8, compared to 8.3 for fe-male surgeons, a difference incomplexity of 23 per cent. "If

you multiply that over thecourse of a year or a career,that's a huge difference," saysChen. The study's designruled out common explana-tions for why female surgeonsperform less complex proce-dures, such as their choice ofsubspecialty, or that womenare less available due to fami-ly commitments. The researchalso found no sign that theproblem has improved overthe last two decades and indi-cated that underemploymentwas a more significant prob-lem for female surgeons withgreater seniority. For years,female surgeons have beenadvised to take steps such asattending leadership trainingconferences to help advancetheir careers.

Female surgeons perform lesscomplex cases than male peers

FreedomFreedom from fear is thefreedomI claim for you mymotherland!Freedom from the burdenof the ages, bending yourhead,breaking your back,blinding your eyes to the beckoningcall of the future;Freedom from the shackles of slumberwherewithyou fasten yourself in night's stillness,mistrusting the star that speaks of truth'sadventurous paths;freedom from the anarchy of destinywhole sails are weakly yielded to the blinduncertain winds,and the helm to a hand ever rigid and coldas death.Freedom from the insult of dwelling in apuppet's world,where movements are started throughbrainless wires,repeated through mindless habits,where figures wait with patience andobedience for themaster of show,to be stirred into a mimicry of life.

Spain beat Switzerland to stay topof group, Germany register 1st win in four gamesLONDON: Spain registered a 1-0 win over Switzerland while Germany defeated Ukraine 2-1 in Kyiv for its first win in the Nations League. A blunder from Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer was enough for Spain to win 1-0 in an empty stadium in Madrid while Germany scored once in either half to beat hosts Ukraine 2-1.Matthias Ginter put them ahead in the 20th minutes after good work from Antonio Ruediger, and Leon Goretzka pounced on a mistake by Ukraine keeper Georgiy Bushchan to head in their second goal four minutes after the restart. Spain lead League A Group 4 with seven points from three games, two points ahead of Germany, who beat Ukraine 2-1. Former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique had picked an experimental side with plenty of youth and Spain did enough to win but were far from their best at the Alfredo di Stefano stadium at Real Madrid's training ground. Switzerland carved out the first chance of the game but keeper David de Gea reacted well to deny Loris Benito, before the visitors handed Spain the lead on a platter.

What ails CSK? Too many holes in the ship, batting main worry: DhoniWarner, Bairstow in form, SRH should make it to playoffs: OjhaDUBAI: Sunrisers Hyderabad have been slow starters in IPL 2020. They lost their first two matches in the tournament, and it was primarily their batting that looked weak. New Zealand batsman Kane Williamson was missing due to an injury. Their middle-order seemed very fragile with three yougsters in Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad and Abhishek Sharma looking not yet ready for the level of the Indian Premier League.But the most disappointing aspect of their batting was the failure of their talented opener duo of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow. The two, irrespective of being some of the best batsman in the world, were not able to give their team a good start.But in SRH’s last game against the Kings XI Punjab, the two batsman looked invincible and hit an opening partnership of 160 runs in 15 overs. The KXIP bowlers looked absolutely clueless when it came to bowling to the two batsman.It was due to the opening partnership and their skilful bowling that the SRH eventually went on to win the match by 69 runs in Dubai. Speaking ahead of their next clash against the Rajasthan Royals in Dubai on Sunday, former India spinner Pragyan Ojha said that with the openers back in form for the SRH, they look like a team that have it in them to go to the playoffs.
