A recent research study conducted by the Karolinska Institute has scientifically addressed the question, ‘Does Oily Fish Lower Heart Disease Risk?’ The findings, which come from numerous investigations and studies, indicate that eating oily fish might be advantageous for people who have a family history of heart disease. The results of the study show a clear correlation between the hereditary predisposition to heart disease and the protective effects of omega-3 fatty acids, which are present in oily fish like sardines, salmon, and mackerel. For those who have a family history of cardiovascular problems, the findings offer insightful information and potential…

United States: A recent study found that women experience a more significant decline in their feelings of love over time than men. According to the research, one explanation for this is that women are more infatuated than men are when they first start dating, which gives the female more motivation to end a relationship. Dr. Saurabh Bhargava, an economics professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, tracked the feelings of almost 3,900 heterosexual adults throughout their relationships, spanning from being recently engaged to being married for many years. For ten days, participants were asked to note who they were with…

United Kingdom: The UK government has released plans that it says could result in the “biggest expansion of nuclear power for 70 years” in the nation. The United Kingdom’s current goal of producing up to 24GW of nuclear power by 2050 is outlined in the recently released Civil Nuclear Roadmap. If accomplished, this would supply 25 percent of the electricity needed in the UK and be four times the current capacity. But some people are skeptical of today’s plans because earlier nuclear plants have been beset by delays and skyrocketing costs. These groups contend that a large portion of the…

United States: Researchers have found in a new study that bottled water sold in stores contains up to 100 times more plastic particles than previously thought. According to the study, an average of 240,000 plastic particles from seven different types of plastic were found in one liter of water, which is equal to two standard-sized bottled waters. Of these, 90 percent were identified as nanoplastics and the remaining portion as microplastics. Nanoplastics are so small that they can pass through the tissues of the lungs or digestive tract and enter the bloodstream, dispersing potentially hazardous synthetic chemicals throughout the body…

United States: Alaska Airlines, a major American airline, has reported that it had cancelled 170 flights on Sunday and an additional 60 on Monday due to an order from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to ground 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft so that inspections could be conducted. This order was issued in the wake of a terrifying incident that occurred on Friday. While travelling from Portland, Oregon, to Ontario, southern California, an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 carrying 177 passengers had to make an emergency landing due to a sealed-over door panel ripping off. According to flight tracking…

United States: A new study has found a link between SARS-CoV-2 infections and the onset of mental health conditions like schizophrenia, coinciding with the global surge in COVID-19 cases. The recent study, which has not yet undergone peer review, found that moderate to severe illness brought on by SARS-CoV-2 infection was significantly associated with a higher chance of receiving a diagnosis of schizophrenia spectrum and psychotic disorder (SSPD). It was found through comparison with a group of people who did not have Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) related to COVID-19. “Our study is consistent with the known neurotropism of the…

North Korea: More than 200 artillery shell rounds have been reportedly fired by North Korea towards two South Korean islands and into the sea close to a tense maritime border. Seoul called it “an act of provocation.” Before conducting its own live fire drills, South Korea ordered civilians to take refuge on the island. The military of South Korea stated that all of the shells fell on the northern side of the sea border and that there was no harm to either civilians or soldiers as a result of the firing. “This is an act of provocation that escalates tension…

United States: Researchers have discovered that genetic variants linked to human bisexual behaviour are associated with taking risks and producing more children when carried by heterosexual men. The University of Michigan researchers analysed data from more than 450,000 participants of European ancestry in the United Kingdom’s Biobank database of genetic and health information. According to the analysis, male heterosexuals who possess the so-called BSB-associated alleles, genetic variants linked to bisexual behaviour, father more children than typical. Moreover, men who identify as risk-takers are more likely to carry alleles linked to BSB and to have a higher childbearing frequency. Due to…

Palestine: Senior Hamas official Mr. Saleh al-Arouri was reportedly killed in a drone attack in Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut. According to Lebanon’s official news agency, six people were killed when a drone struck a Hamas office. Although its enemies threatened to exact “punishment” for the assassination of a Hamas leader, Israel has maintained that the incident was not an attack on Lebanon. Hamas confirmed that attacks on Palestinians “inside and outside Palestine will not succeed in breaking the will and steadfastness of our people or undermining the continuation of their valiant resistance,” confirming the…

A black hole is the most fascinating object in space. Something so densely gravitational that not even light can escape from a black hole. The majority of black holes are formed from the remains of massive stars that explode in supernovae, as per NASA. It is possible that there are more than 100 million black holes in the Milky Way, but finding these ravenous monsters is quite challenging. As part of a massive space exploration project, India launched its first satellite on Monday to study black holes. India will be the second nation to use an astronomical space observatory to…
