A study by Australian researchers at the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne has revealed that the absence of breast features on CPR training manikins may contribute to women receiving less life-saving assistance from bystanders. The analysis of 20 adult CPR manikin models found that all had flat torsos, with only one featuring a breast overlay, raising concerns about gender equity in emergency care. Lead researcher Dr. Rebecca Szabo emphasized the need for more diverse training manikins to better prepare responders for real-life situations involving women, particularly in cases like maternal cardiac arrest. The findings have prompted calls for regulatory bodies to enforce policies that consider sex and gender in health education tools, as biases in training could jeopardize the safety of women and other marginalized groups. The study aligns with broader efforts to address "medical misogyny" in healthcare, particularly regarding cardiovascular disease. 
Published: Nov 23 2024, 11 ameznews.inIn Brampton, Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau labeled his intelligence officials "criminals" for allegedly leaking false information linking Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar to violence on Canadian soil. Trudeau's comments followed a report by the Globe and Mail, which suggested that Canadian security agencies believed Modi was aware of violent plots in Canada. In response, Nathalie Drouin, Trudeau's intelligence adviser, clarified that the Canadian government does not possess evidence connecting Modi or his officials to criminal activities, calling such claims "speculative and inaccurate." This controversy has intensified diplomatic tensions between Canada and India, particularly after Trudeau's September allegations of Indian agents' involvement in the murder of Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Both nations have since expelled each other's diplomats, reflecting the deteriorating relationship amid accusations of foreign interference.

Published: Nov 23 2024, 2 pmeznews.inAustralian researchers have unveiled the oldest direct evidence of hot water activity on Mars, suggesting the planet may have once been habitable. A study published on Saturday by a team from Curtin University examined a 4.45 billion-year-old zircon grain from the Martian meteorite NWA7034, also known as Black Beauty, discovered in the Sahara Desert in 2011. The zircon contained geochemical signatures of water-rich fluids, indicating the presence of water during early Martian magmatic activity. Co-author Aaron Cavosie highlighted that this finding could enhance our understanding of ancient Martian hydrothermal systems and their potential to support life. Despite significant meteorite impacts altering Mars' surface, the research indicates that water existed during the early Pre-Noachian period, prior to 4.1 billion years ago. The study, led by Jack Gillespie, also involved researchers from the University of Adelaide and underscores the importance of water as a key ingredient for habitable environments.

Published: Nov 23 2024, 2 pmeznews.inCanada has joined the UK in expressing its intention to adhere to an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to international law, stating, “We stand up for international law, and we will abide by all the regulations and rulings of the international courts.” The ICC's warrants, issued on Thursday, target Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant for alleged "crimes against humanity" linked to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which escalated after Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023. A warrant was also issued for Hamas's military chief, Mohammed Deif. The UK government has indicated that Netanyahu could face arrest if he travels to Britain, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer's spokesman confirming the UK’s compliance with legal obligations but refraining from commenting on potential police actions regarding the warrant.
Published: Nov 23 2024, 3 pmeznews.inUS antitrust lawyers have urged a judge to mandate the sale of Google’s Chrome browser to curb the company's dominance in the market, a move that could significantly impact its business model. The Department of Justice submitted its recommendation to US District Court Judge Amit Mehta, who is expected to announce measures next year to tackle Google's monopoly in online search. Analysts suggest that divesting Chrome, which boasts over three billion users, could be worth at least $15 billion, though predicting its market value remains complex. While some speculate on potential buyers, including AI firms, the court's decision is uncertain, especially with the incoming Trump administration's stance against breaking up Google. Trump previously expressed concerns that dismantling Google could harm US interests globally. The outcome could reshape the competitive landscape of the internet, but analysts believe users will continue to favor Chrome as long as its quality remains high.
Published: Nov 23 2024, 12 pmeznews.inA new beauty trend in Japan, dubbed "3D teardrop make-up," is gaining popularity among teenage girls, according to the _South China Morning Post_. This unconventional style involves using hot melted glue to create tear-like droplets, which are then applied to the face to evoke a delicate, sympathetic look. The trend has rapidly spread across schools, leading to a reported shortage of hot glue guns. However, it has sparked concern among netizens, with many warning of potential burns and criticizing the trend as "ridiculous." Experts advise against applying hot glue directly to the skin and recommend using safe surfaces for creating the designs. This is not the first instance of hot glue being used in beauty trends; a TikTok creator previously showcased a similar technique for an eyeliner look, attracting millions of views. As with many viral trends, experts caution about the risks associated with such practices.

Fei Ge, a tour guide and early explorer, recalls the legends surrounding these pits and the groundbreaking discoveries of rare species made by scientists. With around two-thirds of the world's sinkholes located in China, Dr. Lina Shen emphasizes the need for conservation, advocating for measures like hot air balloons and drones to allow safe observation while protecting these unique ecosystems from human interference.
