Economy

How Unemployment is Measured

• According to the definition of international labor organization unemployment is a situation when a person is out of job, available to take a job or engaged in searching for work.

• An individual who has left a job and is not willing to search for another job is not defined as unemployed.

• In the developing countries due to the varied nature of job and seasonal working and informal sectors it is very much difficult to measure unemployment.

• According to a survey undertaken by NSSO 33.3% of rural women and 27.2% of urban women above the age of 15 engaged in household work reported willingness to work if available within their premises.
• These women cannot be considered as unemployed as they are not actively searching for a job.

International Relations

Taking G-20 to the Last Mile, Leaving None Behind

• "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam"- this concept captures the deep philosophy of India that means the world is one family, the concept of one earth, one family and one future.

• The post pandemic world is very difficult. It highlights the importance of supply chain resilience, reliability in global supply chains and sustainability.

• The voice of the global South witnessed participation from 25 countries as it was important to gather inputs and ideas from the global south.
• The push from the African Union for the inclusion as permanent member of G20 is also a remarkable success.
• India always promotes harmony as many countries of the global South are at various stages of development and climate actions must be contemporary pursuit of it.

• The Chennai high level principles for a sustainable and drizzling blue economy that focuses on keeping the oceans healthy.

  

• Global biofuel alliance 10 2015 India launched the international solar alliance. Now the global biofuel alliance India will support the world to enable energy transition in tune with the benefits of a circular economy.

• Like India's yoga becoming a global mass for wellness, India has also vocalized to the world for the new concept that is LiFE or lifestyles for sustainable environment.

• India has shown its technology in equalities and now with the T20 it will help the developing industries and the developing countries through digital public interest structure or DPI to unlock the power of inclusive growth.

• India T20 presidency is working on brightening the gender digital divide reducing Liverpool participation gaps and enabling a larger role for women in leadership and decision making.

• As the mother democracy and model of diversity India opens the doors for the experience to the world and its presidency bridge divides this month will barriers and so seats of collaboration supply chain resilience and growth for all.

BSI Get Patent for Reusable Straw

• The Botanical survey of India developed straw from a species of endemic bamboo plant which is found in Andaman and Nicobar Island.
• The patent office of the Government of India has granted a patent to BSI for reusable straw and manufacturing.

• Bamboo species Schizostachyum Andamanivum was discovered in the island 3 years ago which has now economic potential and got a new boost with this patent.

Polity

'India' and 'Bharat' align views in Constituent Assembly

• As in the United Nations India has already been nominated as India.
• Some state that taking Bharat as the name of India and giving the country an ancient name would not queer the March forward.

In support of the name 'Bharat'

• Some stated that giving names like Bharat to our country may benefit our glorious history and culture.
• By contrast, it is also said that naming our country as Bharat will not do anything on the grounds of forwardness.
• Chinese traveler Hiuen Trang has called this country Bharat in his book.

• Finally ended with the addition of 'Bharat' to article 1(1) the article currently reads India that 'Bharat' shall be a union of States.

Science and technology

Short Lived Nuclei

• Scientists have encountered many properties of atom one example is the island of stability.

• Island of stability states that usually the heavier the nuclear of an unstable element the faster it will decay via radioactivity.

  
• Some isotopes that decay slower than their heaviness would suggest.

• Atoms with the same number of protons but with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.

• One of the major characteristics of isotopes is this year almost the same chemical properties that differ in mass and therefore in their physical properties.

• When isotopes are plotted in a graph with number of protons and one access and number of neutrons on the other access they found that the nuclear of most isotopes is along a straight line.

• There is a trend of cluster isotopes around the number of protons 112.

• This cluster is called the island of stability because these nuclei are usually more stable than others. This number is also called a magic number.

Air pollution

• As in the era of global warming the temperature of the Earth is continuously rising.

• The ice of the glaciers are melting and the heat balance is completely destroyed in some areas.

  
• These factors create natural or manmade disasters like flooding, drought and other natural calamities.
• Among these another silent killer is air pollution.

• Global health statistics results are a disturbing scenario with long cancer climbing 10 million touch worldwide in 2020 status by World health organization.

• The number might increase by 3.2 million by 2050 according to a report.

• Initiative to come back air pollution includes internal carbon tax on all flight tickets and use in emission reduction measures.
• The world air quality project allows residents to make information about the actual equality data of their locality.
