Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose College (AJC Bose College) have introduced a strict dress code for first-year students, sparking a debate over the definition of «indecent dresses» and «normal civil dresses.» According to the college's directive, first-year students are required to sign an affidavit in which they pledge not to wear torn or artificially torn jeans or any form of indecent attire on college premises, a TOI report stated.

I do hereby affirm that I shall wear normal civil dresses during my study period inside the entire college premises.» This decision comes in the wake of a similar notice issued by the college last year, which cautioned both students and staff against wearing «torn or artificially torn jeans».

Cartagena de Indias, a colonial port city on Colombia's Caribbean coast, can be so hypnotically hot (even with the ocean breeze and occasional tropical downpour) that visitors may feel as if they are drifting through a dream world of cobblestone lanes and Afro-Colombian drumbeats — a sensation captured by the magical realism in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Cartagena-set novels. A weekend is perfect for a robust introduction through two adjacent, walkable neighborhoods. The Old Town is still surrounded by the stone walls built by Spanish colonists, who also left behind opulent mansions and churches. Neighboring Getsemani is an artsy, semi-residential enclave with a popular street-party scene, overlooked by the 16th-century fortress that looms on a hill nearby. And if the heat does get to you, order a limonada de coco, the slushy coconut limeade that keeps coastal Colombians deliciously cool. ITINERARYFriday3 p.m. | Snack your way around Kick off a visit with a walking tour through the city's connected Old Town and Getsemani neighborhoods, the triangular heart of the city between the Caribbean Sea and San Lazaro Lagoon.

For a more curated experience, Cartagena Connections adapts guided tours to visitors' interests, such as architecture, history or photography (two-hour group tours start around 123,000 Colombian pesos, or $30, per person; private tour rates vary). The popular street food tour includes stops to taste wedges of salted green mango, corn arepas filled with cheese, and mamoncillo, a local lychee-like fruit.

Patulin, a mycotoxin produced by various fungi, poses a threat to a wide range of organisms, including humans, mammals, plants, and microbes. This mycotoxin is commonly found on damaged or decaying fruits, especially apples, and can contaminate various apple-based products like applesauce, apple juice, jams, and ciders, especially in environments with subpar hygiene during food production. The global concern over patulin toxicity encompasses a range of health issues, from nausea and lung congestion to ulcers, intestinal hemorrhages, and more severe consequences such as DNA damage, immunosuppression, and an increased risk of cancer. Consequently, numerous governments worldwide have imposed limits on the permissible levels of patulin in food items, particularly in baby food. Addressing patulin toxicity involves multiple treatment approaches, including oxygen therapy, immunotherapy, detoxification therapy, and nutrient therapy.

blood test that detected Parkinson's disease in a preliminary study could become the first specific tool for diagnosing the devastating neurodegenerative condition, researchers said on Wednesday. The test, which looks for cell damage associated with the disease, is years away from being commercially available. If its reliability is confirmed in future trials, the test would allow doctors to diagnose the condition earlier and start therapies sooner, before nervous system damage worsens, the researchers said. «Currently, Parkinson's disease is diagnosed largely based on symptoms, when patients already have significant neurological damage,» said study leader Laurie Sanders of Duke School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina. The new blood test measures DNA damage in mitochondria, the structures inside cells that generate energy for cellular functions.

The government has convened a five-day special session of Parliament from September 18 and 22, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said earlier on Thursday. There was no official word on the agenda of the session which will be held days after the G20 Summit in Delhi on September 9 and 10.

The fresh allegations by the organisation funded by the likes of billionaire investor George Soros and Rockefeller Brothers Fund come months after a US short seller wiped away close to $150 billion in value of Adani Group stocks with allegations of accounting fraud, stock price manipulation and improper use of tax havens by the ports-to-energy conglomerate. The Adani Group has denied all Hindenburg allegations.
