Copyright © 2020 IASToppers. All rights reserved. | Page 1/16 www.iastoppers.com New device: Biosensors have been currently used across the world to detect toxins, narcotic drugs, and are also considered as a reliable tool to detect infectious diseases. The new portable device named eCovSens, can be used to detect the presence of novel coronavirus antigens in human saliva within 30 seconds using just 20 microlitres of the sample. Mechanism: The in-house built biosensor consists of a carbon electrode and the coronavirus antibody. The antibody is capable of binding with the spike protein found on the outer layer of the virus. An electrical signal is generated when the antigen and antibody binds. Electrical components in the device further amplify this signal, process it, convert it to digital readings on an LCD display. The device can also be battery-operated as it uses very low voltage of 1.3V to 3V. National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (NIAB): The National Institute of Animal Biotechnology is an Indian autonomous research establishment of the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology (India). The primary mandate of NIAB is towards the development of sustainability and globally competitive livestock (farm animals) for public and industry through innovative and cutting edge technology. The emphasis is on showing excellence in production of globally competitive livestock products, pharmaceuticals (medicines), nutritional products and other biologicals related to animal health care.

About the African Swine Fever: African Swine Fever is a transboundary animal disease which can spread by live or dead pigs and pork products. It is a highly contagious animal disease. It affects domestic and wild pigs and causes high mortality. It is caused by a large DNA virus of the Asfarviridae family. Affected pigs suffer from an acute form of haemorrhagic fever. The first outbreak occurred in 1921 in Kenya. ASF is not a risk to human health. Transmission mechanisms: Direct contact with infected domestic or wild pigs; Indirect contact, through ingestion of contaminated material (e.g. food waste, feed, or garbage); Through biological vectors like ticks. What is the Impact? The mortality rate is close to 100 percent. Copyright © 2020 IASToppers. All rights reserved. | Page 3/16 www.iastoppers.com ASF is responsible for the production and economic losses at local, regional and national levels. ASF is a disease of growing strategic importance for global food security and household income. Post outbreak, the pork prices increase. Moreover consumers shift to alternate sources of protein like beef and chicken. Treatment Methods: Post infection, culling (selective slaughter) and burying the animal. No vaccinations or treatment options available. Prevention systems include proper implementation of appropriate import policies and biosecurity measures. [Ref: The Hindu] Covid Toe A paper published in the British Journal of Dermatology talks about “unexplained” skin manifestations in Covid-19 patients including the so-called ‘covid toe’. Symptoms of Covid-19: The most common symptoms include fever, dry cough, sore throat and muscle pain among others. Other symptoms include the loss of smell and taste, confusion, stroke and seizures in a small subset of patients infected with the virus. Recently the researchers have described five clinical patterns, including ‘covid toe’ which has been observed in 19 percent of the cases examined. Copyright © 2020 IASToppers. All rights reserved. | Page 4/16 www.iastoppers.com What is ‘covid toe’? ‘Covid toe’ is a kind of rash being reported as a manifestation in some Covid-19 patients’ toes. It was seen in 19 percent of the cases and the researchers have likened it to pseudo-chilblain lesions. Of the 71 cases that had these pseudo-chilblains, 41 percent had confirmed SARS-CoV-2, the virus strain that causes Covid-19. Chilblains are small, itchy, red patches that appear on the toes and fingers after a person has been exposed to the cold due to inflammation in the small blood vessels in the skin. Are skin conditions common in viral diseases? A 1966 paper published in Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews says that rashes accompanying infectious diseases date back to ancient times and are one of the most characteristic and “readily observed” signs of disease. For instance, chickenpox, which is a contagious viral disease causes itchy, fluid-filled blisters on the skin. Measles is another viral disease, which may lead to a breakout of skin rashes, which usually begin as flat red spots on the face and spread downward to the neck, trunk, arms, feet and legs. [Ref: Indian Express] Final draft of New Education Policy The final draft of the New Education Policy (NEP) is said to be silent on student participation in decision-making bodies, committees, and institutional processes of a university or college. Key Features: The final policy draft limits giving students plenty of opportunities to be involved in sports, culture/arts clubs, activity clubs, community service projects. It speaks of creating a “systematised arrangement” to support “students from rural backgrounds, including increasing hostel facilities as needed”. The provision on setting up “systems and mechanisms” to enable student participation in the institutional processes of higher education institutions is missing from the document shared by Copyright © 2020 IASToppers. All rights reserved. | Page 5/16 www.iastoppers.com the HRD Ministry. Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE): The final policy document has dropped a proposal to set up a Rashtriya Shiksha Aayog (RSA) as suggested by the Kasturirangan Committee. The RSA was to be headed by the Prime Minister and was intended to replace the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE). Following objections from the state governments to this proposal the proposal has been scrapped altogether. The policy circulated among ministries instead speaks of strengthening CABE and giving it a greater mandate. The final draft of the NEP has also dropped the recommendation on setting up a “permanent Indian Education Service (IES) cadre comprising a specialist cadre of the bureaucracy”.

It is found in Central-Western India (MP, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra and Odisha) and Southern India (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu). In India, there are a few national parks and sanctuaries inhabited by blackbuck, like the Velavadar Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat and the Ranebennur Blackbuck Sanctuary in Karnataka. Conservation status: The blackbuck has significance in Hinduism; Indian and Nepali villagers do not harm the antelope. The Bishnoi community of Rajasthan is known worldwide for their conservation efforts of blackbuck and Chinkara. In India, hunting of blackbuck is prohibited under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 and its hunting invites punishment of up to seven years in jail. Copyright © 2020 IASToppers.

The country was settled around 870 AD by Norse Vikings and there has been an ongoing settlement in Iceland ever since. Iceland is situated at the confluence of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, on the Mid- Atlantic Ridge where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates come together. Due to its location Iceland is very volcanically and geologically active with daily earthquakes and numerous volcanoes.

Copyright © 2020 IASToppers. All rights reserved. | Page 10/16 www.iastoppers.com Sweat as power supply: The skin specialists attach a thin polymer-based sheet which contains the desired drug, stick it to the skin on a person’s arm or chest and deliver the drug past the sweat fluid directly into the body, using a tiny electric current on the patch. This is thus a wearable technology for personalised medicine — no pills or potions. In all these assays, the probes and sensors need to be powered externally using microbatteries.

  • Jamini Roy & Somnath Hore
    Jamini Roy & Somnath Hore: Figuration in the Bengal School November 1 – December 1, 2012 Press Preview & Reception: Thursday, November 1, 6:00pm – 8:00pm 35 Great Jones St., New York NY 10012 AICON GALLERY is pleased to present Jamini Roy & Somnath Hore: Figuration in the Bengal School, an exhibition exploring the extremes of representation and artistic vision within India’s Bengal School of Art. Based primarily in Kolkata and Santiniketan, the Bengal School was an artistic movement and painting tradition founded at the turn of the 19th century, which spread throughout India during the British Raj of the early 20th century. Originally an avant-garde and nationalist movement in reaction to previous academic styles, the Bengal School was led by Abanindranath Tagore (Indian, 1871- 1951) and sought to modernize Moghul and Rajput styles, to counter the influence of Western art traditions. Along with his brother Gaganendranath Tagore (Indian, 1867-1938) and pupil Nandalal Jamini Roy, Untitled (Three Figures), Tempera and cloth on board, Bose (India, 1882-1966), these artists represented the early 17.5 x 33 in. modernists of India. The Bengal School was often associated with Indian nationalism (swadeshi) as an official Indian art style, but also found support from British art institutions under the epithet of the Indian Society of Oriental Art (founded in 1907 by the Tagore brothers). From the 1920s onward, prominent Bengal School artists embarked on widely divergent, often aesthetically polarized paths. However, figuration remained the central focus for those at the forefront of the movement’s modernist evolution. Some embraced images of tranquility and nature, of myth and mysticism, depicting playful folk scenes during turbulent sociopolitical times, while others portrayed the darker forces of humanity, exploring famine, spiritual torment and violent conflict.

As a result, many educated youngsters escaped the perceived constraints of India to seek their fortunes in the West, especially in the USA.

  • Modernisms in India
    Modernisms in India Modernisms in India Supriya Chaudhuri The Oxford Handbook of Modernisms Edited by Peter Brooker, Andrzej Gąsiorek, Deborah Longworth, and Andrew Thacker Print Publication Date: Dec 2010 Subject: Literature, Literary Studies - 20th Century Onwards, Literary Studies - Postcolonial Literature Online Publication Date: Sep 2012 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199545445.013.0053 Abstract and Keywords This article examines the history of modernism in India. It suggests that though the dis­ tinctions between modernity, modernization, and modernism are particularly complicated in the case of India, they remain crucial to a historical understanding of the ‘modern’ in all its senses. The article argues that the characteristic feature of Indian modernism in In­ dia is that it is manifestly social and historical rather than a hypostasis of the new as in the West. It contends that modernisms in India are deeply implicated in the construction of a secular national identity at home in the world, and in this respect answer a historical need to fashion a style for the modern as it is locally experienced. Keywords: modernism, India, modernization, modernity, national identity, hypostasis THE distinctions between modernity, modernization, and modernism are particularly com­ plicated in the case of India, but remain crucial to a historical understanding of the ‘mod­ ern’ in all its senses. Modernity, as a social and intellectual project, and modernization, as its means, are associated with the influence in India of Europe and of Enlightenment ra­ tionality from the eighteenth century onwards. Modernism, as an aesthetic, is far more limited in period and scope. Nevertheless, just as recent cultural criticism has proposed the existence of ‘alternative modernities’1 not native to the West, so too our attention has been drawn to ‘alternative modernisms’, or ‘modernisms at large’.2 The question of peri­ odicity, as of location, is complicated by the historical fact that modernism as an aesthetic was simultaneously restricted and elitist, and international and democratic.

  • 8 Pioneers of Contemporary Indian
    Pioneers of Contemporary Indian Art MODULE - 3 Introduction Contemporary Indian Art 8 Notes PIONEERS OF CONTEMPORARY INDIAN ART At the beginning of 19th century under the influence of the British Raj, Indian art displayed a general decline. The craft and techniques of fresco and miniature paintings which were unique in the history of art, were nearly lost. Miniatures were ousted by European oil painting. Towards the turn of the century, traditional Indian painting faded out and it was the time for Indian artists to look at their heritage with positive approach and advance from the earlier European Colonial Art. Raja Ravi Varma of Kerala was famous for his paintings of mythological subjects and portraiture. His works showed western influence in his oil paintings. On the other hand, Abanindranath Tagore tried to recreate a new style in painting. Nandalal Bose, Benode Behari, and few others followed this newly awakened sense of nationalism. Thus emerged the Bengal School in the first half of 20th cen- tury. For subjects, they found their inspiration from Indian classics and mythology. They rejected the western realism and preferred to use idealism of Indian Art. Jamini Roy gave a modern form to folk art and Rabindranath Tagore intro- duced expression in his painting. These artists experimented with traditional water colour techniques using Indian and Chinese styles and also sought inspiration from miniatures, frescoes and folk art. Later, artists like Amrita Shergil drew on both Western and Indian traditions. Her contribution in the field of art retains her unique position as the first lady of the modern Indian art.

Painters, sculptors, printmakers, teachers, they have made a name for themselves, but in the absence of their work being shown nationally—rather than regionally, as has been the norm—many have remained outside mainstream discourse. At DAG, it has been our effort to ensure their rediscovery and recognition, something we continue to do with our Silver Series, fixed-price online sales. The outstanding success of the first two editions is an indicator that art-lovers also have an appreciation for lesser-known names, as well as those whose works do not appear frequently in the market. Our endeavour with every edition will be to continue to surprise you with the mix of artists and the quality of their work. I hope the additions in this edition will bring you joy. If you miss any favourites, I assure you that you will find them in subsequent editions.
