Dealing With Particle Contamination Leads To An Increase In Photochemical Smog: Research

Arpita SarkarJuly 8, 20220

Researchers at York University have discovered why reducing particulate pollution is actually increasing surface ozone pollution in some emerging economies, which is negatively affecting health, the ecosystem and agriculture. The results, published in Nature Geoscience, challenge established methods for tackling air pollution, the researchers say. Surface ozone is the main component of "fog" and is formed by chemical reactions between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). It occurs when pollutants emitted by cars, power plants, industrial boilers, refineries, chemical plants, and other sources react to the presence of sunlight. In the last decade, when countries like China have improved air quality by reducing particulate pollution - which comes from coal, s...

Watch Out For Boris: Change In UK’s Leadership Has No Bearing On International Politics

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 8, 20220

Following a slew of controversies, Boris' own party eventually decided it had had enough of all the loud theatre and decided to skip the performance. Boris Johnson stepped down as thr Prime Minister of the UK and leader of the Conservative Party yesterday, following in the footsteps of many other prominent cabinet members who had already quit. His party will now vote for a new leader, and the country will perhaps look forward to more policy stability about important problems. A change in leadership in the United Kingdom, however, is both interesting and of little relevance given the country's little impact on the political landscape of the rest of the world. It is a fascinating morality tale that has ramifications for other democracies to see how a leader who led his party to its...

Bulldozer-Led Demolitions Among India’s Extralegal Penalties; Risk To Losing Public Confidence

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 6, 20220

Modern jurisprudence holds that sanctions should fit the offence and that criminality is influenced by society. A court system that ignores current jurisprudence risks losing legitimacy and public confidence. A political perspective of the judicial system would also reflect public opinion, mass media, and the demands of dominant political parties and economic elites. This fused political system affects India's rule of law. The police and courts, the municipal corporation and civil administration, the media, and the universities have little to no operational independence. A political apparatus makes the rule of law more arbitrary. The arbitrariness of India's politicised judicial and civil systems may be seen in the rising use of bulldozer-led demolitions as extralegal penalties. ...

Pooja YadavJuly 4, 20220

To make any policy work better in an expected way, it is very important to have a specified and well-structured design then only one can expect a success rate. However, when it comes to farmers' bills and their design and the poor role of Farmers Producer Organisation (FPO), a collective approach is required. When the concept of FPO was introduced, the makers forgot to clarify certain terms and reliability and what it actually explains. for example flaw within the farmer's Act and FPOs is that basic aspects of contract farming like acreage, quantity, and time of delivery aren't specified which is mandatory for any law regulating it as these constitute the building blocks of the activity that's being legislated. the govt advertisement claims that farmer can withdraw from contract arrange...
