Facebook’s brand name changed to ‘Meta’

Facebook is now called Meta, the corporate said on Thursday, during a rebrand that focuses on building the “metaverse,” a shared virtual environment that it bets are going to be the successor to the mobile internet. The name change comes because the world’s largest social media company battles criticisms from lawmakers and regulators over its market power, algorithmic decisions and therefore the policing of abuses on its services. CEO Mark Zuckerberg, speaking at the company’s live-streamed virtual and augmented reality conference, said the new name reflected its work investing within the metaverse, instead of its namesake social media service, which can still be called Facebook. “Right now, our brand is so tightly linked to at least one product that it can’t possibly represent everything that we’re doing today, including within the future,” said Zuckerberg. The company, which has invested heavily in augmented and computer game said the change would compile its different apps and technologies under one new brand. It said it might not change its corporate structure. The tech giant, which reports about 2.9 billion monthly users, has faced increasing scrutiny in recent years from global lawmakers and regulators. Zuckerberg said the new name ‘Meta,’ coming from the Greek word for “beyond,” symbolized there was always more to create. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Thursday tweeted out a special definition “referring to itself or to the conventions of its genre; self-referential.” Zuckerberg also added that the new name also reflects that over time, users won’t got to use Facebook to use the company’s other services.

“Ready With NEET-UG 2021 Results”, Says NTA To The SC

The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Monday sought an urgent hearing in the Supreme Court (SC) regarding its plea against a High Court order directing it not to declare the NEET-UG 2021 results. The HC directed the NTA to conduct a re-examination for two aspirants whose question papers and OMR sheets got mixed during the examination at a centre in Maharashtra. The Bombay High Court on October 20, 2021, directed the NTA to hold fresh exams for the two aspirants and declare their results along with the entire NEET-UG 2021 results. NEET-UG 2021 was conducted on September 12, 2021, for admissions to undergraduate medical courses and colleges. The incident of the test booklet and OMR sheet mix up took place at the examination centre between aspirants Vaishanavi Bhopali and Abhishek Shivaji. Upon hearing this, the HC ruled that they should be given a fresh opportunity to reappear for the exams. A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana was informed about the urgency of the matter by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the NTA, saying that the declaration of the results is halted due to the order of the high court. The court asked the law officer to mention the case before the bench that has been hearing these cases, and on being told that the matter was a fresh one, the bench agreed to consider an urgent listing. “The declaration of the results of the NEET exam has been stayed at the behest of two students. I am requesting the hearing tomorrow,” the law officer submitted before the bench, also comprising Justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli. “We will see,” said the bench. The NTA, in its appeal, said that the NEET (UG), 2021 Examination for more than 16 lakh candidates was conducted on September 12, and due to the high court’s order, it has not been able “to declare their results even though the same is ready for declaration”. “The delay in declaration of Result of NEET (UG) 2021 will affect and further delay the subsequent process of admission to Undergraduate Medical Courses i.e. MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BSMS, BUMS and BHMS Courses,” it said in the plea. The high court also directed that the NTA “shall give 48 hrs clear notices to the Petitioners about the date of examination and the centre allotted to the Petitioners”.

Do Indian Companies Provide Menstrual Leaves To Their Women Employees?

We have always heard the term that India is a ‘developing’ country. Is it really true? Well, with rapid advancements, increased social media use, knowledge exchange and digital education, the population is definitely adopting paradigm-shifting solutions. While some decisions are influenced by the wave of change in the West, some come as a result of mindset change and the evolution of people’s minds. In any country, equality, social change and multicultural advancements are some major parameters to consider before calling it modern or liberal. When it comes to women empowerment, India is still evolving. It has a long way to go. One of the most taboo subjects in India is to talk freely about menstruation. However, that is gradually changing in some parts of the country. In a revolutionary move, some companies in India have allowed women to have paid leaves during their menstrual cycle. How good is that? Also, India is not the only country to consider offering leaves to its female employees during their monthly cycle. Countries like Japan, South Korea and Italy have menstrual leave as a part of their female employee leave policy. Taking a foot forward in the same way, some companies in India are offering one or two leaves to their female staff members. Let’s get to know the companies that offer menstrual leaves. Swiggy – It is an online food delivery company in India that offers two days of monthly time off to their female food delivery staff members. Culture Machine – It is a Mumbai-based digital media startup that allows women to take a day off during the first day of their period. Mathrumbi – It is a Malayalam media organization that allows women to work from home or stay at home during the first day of their cycle. Magzter – It is a Chennai-based digital magazine platform that offers one day of paid leave to its women employees during their period. Wet and Dry – It is a Delhi-based feminine hygiene product maker that offers women two days off during their period. IndustryARC – It is a Hyderabad-based market research and consulting firm that allows women one or two days of paid leaves during their menstrual cycle. Zomato – It is a Gurugram-based food delivery company that allows its female staff members to take 10 days of paid leaves in a year during their period. Byju’s – It is India’s leading education app that grants women 12 period leaves in a year. In conclusion, it would be best to openly address issues and talks related to menstruation as it is a natural biological phenomenon. The notion of women being on their period should be normalized. Everyone should show empathy and respect for the changes that a woman is going through. Following the footsteps of the above mentioned companies, we look forward to more Indian and international companies offering paid leaves to women during their menstrual cycle to ensure their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

BATM develops molecular diagnostics tests for the treatment of tuberculosis

BATM is a leading provider of real-time-based technologies to provide networking solutions and medical laboratory systems. It has recently been announced that it has developed a new method for rapid and comprehensive diagnosis of tuberculosis. This new technology’s testing and validation phase will be commenced in the second half of this year. The process will be funded under a program of Stop TB Partnership, an international alliance comprising various government and non-government organizations. The new method consists of one step PCR test developed by the group Adaltis subsidiary, with testing on the NATlab instrument by using the new isothermal RCA process developed by the Group Ador Diagnostics Associate company. This PCR test will diagnose if someone is infected with TB and if the test is positive. This NATlab system will be used to identify the strain of TB and its resistance to antibiotics. The process is expected to give results within two hours by testing the samples in both phases. This new process is far less than several days required in the current and commonly used test, which usually depends on incubation to check the antibody resistance once a patient is infected with TB. This new method which is being developed, is presented with the cooperation of leading universities in Italy. The testing and validation of the solution will take place at the University of Heidelberg. Source: healthtechdigital.com
