Europe says farewell to eclipse-making Proba-3

ESA’s solar eclipse-making Proba-3 mission is about to depart to its launch site in India. The mission’s two spacecraft – which will manoeuvre precisely in Earth orbit so that one casts a shadow onto the other – are about to depart the facilities of Redwire Space in Kruibeke, Belgium. The pair will be flown to the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, near Chennai, for the launch campaign to begin.

“This ambitious ESA mission has been many years in the making, because it is seeking to do something in space that has previously been impossible,” explains ESA mission manager Damien Galano.  

“Once in orbit, Proba-3’s two satellites will enable sustained views of the Sun’s faint surrounding atmosphere, or corona, that has previously only been visible for a few brief moments during terrestrial solar eclipses. To achieve this the shadow being cast between the spacecraft must remain in precise position, which means they must fly autonomously in formation to an accuracy of a single millimetre – about the thickness of an average fingernail. 

“It has taken a lot of work by ESA and our industrial and academic partners to reach this point of flight readiness. There’s a little sadness to finally say goodbye to these unique satellites, but we’re also very excited to be progressing to the final stage before launch.” 

Proba-3 is now due to be flown to India on Saturday 2 November, for a new launch date of 4 December.

Reflecting on the case and the marketing strategies of Corona and Heineken reveals a tale of two varied approaches, each with its unique implications in the competitive landscape of the beer market.

As I read the case- I kept comparing the dynamic nature of advertising and selling beer in the US. Having grown up in India- the nature of ads from alcohol companies were very different. My reflection highlights some of the areas where regulatory frameworks lead to innovative marketing tactics such as surrogate advertising.

Finally- I could not help but wonder what the impact of the pandemic was on a brand like Corona (for obvious reasons). I remember listening to a podcast back in the day about the ultimate positive effect the pandemic had on beer consumption in the US, and my final point covers that.

Corona and Heineken's Divergent Paths Corona’s growth in the U.S. market, challenging Heineken's long-standing dominance, serves as an example of how brand imagery and lifestyle alignment can reshape market dynamics. While Heineken has promoted its brand as a premium quality, heritage, and sophisticated one, Corona adopted a different strategy. Its marketing campaigns evoked a sense of relaxation, escapism, and the simple pleasures of life, epitomized by the iconic image of a lime-wedged bottle on a sun-drenched beach.

The Indian Context: Surrogate Marketing Turning to the Indian market, where direct advertising of alcoholic beverages is prohibited, brands have resorted to surrogate marketing to make their presence felt in the consumers' minds. Companies promote products that share the brand name with the alcoholic beverage, such as music CDs, water, or even airlines, thereby maintaining brand recall.

For long, some of the funniest and most memorable ads, usually came from such brands. This strategy, while requiring creativity and indirect messaging, highlights the complex interplay between regulatory environments and marketing innovation, allowing brands to build a presence in a market with strict advertising restrictions. (Alcohol brand selling "Music CDs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zhozmQCDYg&pp=ygUdbWVuIHdpbGwgYmUgbWVuIGltcGVyaWFsIGJsdWU%3D)

Lately, many brands have launched zero-alcohol products, using these as surrogates to gain market popularity. Heineken was definitely the winner in the Indian market – from my recollection, I never saw a Corona ad.

Any publicity is good publicity? - True for Corona!

The COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges particularly for a brand like Corona, given the unfortunate name association. Despite initial setbacks and market confusion (with rumors rife with association to the virus), Corona's marketing strategy demonstrated resilience and adaptability. Research suggested that the brand's visibility and consumer loyalty contributed to this growth, with each new COVID-19 case seemingly boosting Corona's sales by $5.30 weekly compared to other major beer brands. The article mentioned that Corona beer gained "accidental popularity" due to its name's association with the coronavirus, driving increased attention and sales during the pandemic​.

Proba-3's laser-precise positioning by European Space Agency Via Flickr: An infrared view of a laser-based test campaign – taking place at Redwire Space in Kruibeke, Belgium – which represents crucial preparation for ESA’s precision formation flying mission, Proba-3. Later this year, two satellites will be launched together into orbit to maintain formation relative to each other down to a few millimetres, creating an artificial solar eclipse in space. Proba-3’s ‘Occulter’ spacecraft will cast a shadow onto the other ‘Coronagraph’ spacecraft to block out the fiery face of the Sun and make the ghostly solar corona available for sustained observation for up to six hours per 19.5 hour orbit. However to maintain the position of a shadow just a few centimetres across on the Coronagraph satellite from the Occulter satellite around 150 m away, the two satellites rely on a suite of sensors, including intersatellite radio links, GNSS, visual imaging and – for the most precise positioning at closest range – a laser metrology (or ‘measurement of measurement’) system. This system will shoot a laser from the Occulter spacecraft toward a corner cube retroreflector placed on the face of the Coronagraph spacecraft for tracking of relative position and attitude (pointing direction), achieving millimetre precision. “To calibrate Proba-3’s laser metrology system, its performance was tested within the 60-m long Redwire cleanroom,” explains Damien Galano, Proba-3’s mission manager. “The Coronagraph’s laser was reflected off a retroreflector and the resulting positioning measurements checked against absolute ‘ground truth’ using a separate laser tracking system.” This mission is being put together for ESA by a consortium led by Spain’s Sener, with participation by more than 29 companies from 14 countries. The Proba-3 platforms have been designed by Airbus Defence and Space in Spain and satellite integration by Redwire in Belgium. GMV in Spain is responsible for Proba-3’s formation flying subsystem while its main coronagraph instrument comes from Belgium’s Centre Spatial de Liège, CSL. Proba-3 is due to be launched by PSLV-XL launcher from India in September. Credits: ESA - M. Pédoussaut

10 Weird Phenomena Unleashed During a Solar Eclipse: A Prelude to North America’s “Ring of Fire”

As celestial bodies choreograph their cosmic dance, every now and then they align in a way that captivates onlookers from below. Solar eclipses, one of nature’s most theatrical displays, never cease to enchant. Tomorrow, on October 14, 2023, parts of North America will stand witness to an awe-inspiring “ring of fire” eclipse. As the moon slides between the sun and the Earth, it will craft a fiery halo, leaving spectators in awe. But apart from the visual spectacle, solar eclipses tend to unleash a range of peculiar phenomena. Here are ten weird things associated with solar eclipses, underscoring the oddities that occur when day momentarily turns into night.

1. Animal Behavior Alterations

Various species exhibit bewildering behavior during solar eclipses. For instance, birds may cease flying and seek refuge in nests, while daytime insects like bees and butterflies might be seen heading back to their shelters. Nocturnal animals could become active, deceived by the sudden darkness. Observations of such responses underscore the keen sensitivity of fauna to light and celestial events.

2. Shifting Shadows

As the moon inches over the sun, the usual shadows transform. They might appear sharper initially, but as the eclipse approaches its peak, unusual shadow patterns emerge. The gaps between leaves act as pinhole cameras, projecting mini crescent suns on the ground below.

3. Temperature Drop

The sun’s temporary concealment results in a noticeable temperature drop, often referred to as eclipse cooling. The extent of cooling depends on various factors including the time of year, geographic location, and eclipse magnitude. It’s a natural reminder of our constant reliance on solar warmth.

4. Baily’s Beads

Named after British astronomer Francis Baily, this phenomenon occurs when the moon’s jagged terrain allows beads of sunlight to seep through in some places while blocking others. It creates a visual akin to a string of glowing beads around the moon’s silhouette.

5. Solar Eclipse Wind

The sudden cooling during an eclipse often induces a change in wind direction and speed, creating a peculiar wind known as eclipse wind. It’s believed to result from variations in atmospheric pressure and temperature caused by the eclipse.

6. Shadow Bands

These elusive, snake-like bands of alternating light and dark slither across the ground immediately before and after totality. It’s believed that they are caused by the Earth’s atmosphere scattering the rapidly diminishing sunlight.

7. Diamond Ring Effect

A breathtaking sight where, for a fleeting moment, a single bead of sunlight remains visible as the moon covers the sun. This “diamond” sits atop a ring formed by the corona, creating the illusion of a diamond ring in the sky.

8. Corona Unveiling

The solar corona, characterized by its ethereal, wispy strands of light, is the sun’s outer atmosphere which is usually obscured by the sun’s bright surface. During totality, spectators are treated to a rare, splendid view of the corona which can stretch out for millions of miles into space.

9. Gravity Anomalies

Some studies have reported slight gravitational anomalies during solar eclipses. For instance, during the 1954 solar eclipse, a pendulum experiment in India recorded anomalous behavior. However, the phenomenon is not well understood and remains a topic of active research.

10. Enhanced Galactic Sightings

The temporary nightfall brought about by a solar eclipse allows for a brief but spectacular visibility of stars and planets normally hidden by daylight. This fleeting glimpse into the cosmos provides a wider perspective of our position in the galaxy.

Conclusion

The “ring of fire” eclipse is not merely a visual marvel, but a trigger for a myriad of bizarre phenomena that remind us of the intricate and sometimes peculiar ties between celestial bodies and our home planet. As the sky darkens momentarily, the curtain lifts, unveiling a brief act of oddities that celebrate the endless wonders of the cosmos. So, as you step out to witness the eclipse, you’re not just observing a celestial alignment, but becoming part of a tradition of awe and wonder that has persisted through the ages.

2023 / 20

Aperçu of the Week:

"Music is a language in which you can't lie."

(Hubert von Goisern, Austrian singer-songwriter and founder of alpine rock)

Bad News of the Week:

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is upon us again. This weather phenomenon of the equatorial Pacific happens at irregular intervals of two to eight years and refers to the occurrence of unusual, non-cyclical, altered ocean currents in the oceanographic-meteorological system. Without going into detail about Walker cells, trade winds and surface waters, let's just say that the weather between South America and Southeast Asia is tipping. With worldwide effects.

Plankton dies en masse and leads to the collapse of entire food chains, e.g. there are no more fish off Peru, seabirds die in the entire Pacific. Unnaturally heavy rainfall on the western side of the Andes causes landslides and flooding. In Southeast Asia and Australia, the lack of rain causes huge bush and forest fires, and the Amazon region and southern Africa dry out. Huge hurricanes develop in Mexico, the monsoon intensifies in India, and coral bleaching increases significantly worldwide. Everywhere it becomes noticeably warmer.

El Niño has already been documented by the pre-Columbian Incas and is even believed to have led to the extinction of the Moche civilization. It is therefore a natural phenomenon for which, for once, humans are not to blame. However, since man-made climate disasters such as floods, hurricanes and forest fires have increased dramatically in recent years, more than a few experts expect a reciprocal amplification that could be devastating due to its cascading effect. In the best case, humanity gets a temporary taste of circumstances to come, hopefully leading to more immediate action to mitigate climate change impacts. At worst, this heated combination pushes climatic tipping points past their very tipping point. Which, as we know, is irreversible.

Good News of the Week:

The annual G7 summit is over. This time under Japanese leadership in Hiroshima. This cooperation format of the seven economically strongest Western nations (Japan, USA, Canada, France, Great Britain, Italy and Germany) with the participation of the European Union originally saw itself as a forum for discussing issues of the global economy. And in recent years, it has evolved into a hub that also has security and sociopolitical relevance. Therefore, an unsurprising item on the program this year was the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenski to promote fighter jets.

Just as predictable as the condemnation of Russia's war of aggression was the theme of economic cooperation with China while distancing oneself from its geopolitical and human rights positions. The same applies to concerns about climate change, declining biodiversity and the too-slow expansion of renewable energies - albeit without any significant breakthroughs. Also, security of supply in globalized trade and cooperation with emerging economic powers. So no surprises at all?

Yes, in my opinion there are. After the delivery chain issues at the time of the Corona pandemic, the grain exports from Ukraine and fertilizers from Russia, which have been stopped in the meantime, have thrown another spotlight on the global food situation. Which is shitty to say the least. Among other things, because it is precisely the poorest countries that are most affected by the effects of climate change that are already being felt today.

Last year, under German auspices, the G7 and the World Bank founded the Global Alliance for Food Security (GAFS). According to its statutes, the alliance is committed to an agile, targeted and rapid response to food crises, which at the same time takes the right path toward sustainable agricultural systems. And pools the corresponding resources of its members: Germany, for example, has already been giving 2 billion euros annually for years to fight hunger in needy countries.

Now, according to a communiqué, the G7 have decided to provide a further 21 billion U.S. dollars in emergency aid. German Development Minister Svenja Schulze, initiator of the GAFS, commented: "The fact that the G7 are now united in their commitment to a further and holistic commitment one year later is a strong sign of solidarity with the Global South."

Of course, this is not enough. Oxfam, for example, points out that the UN has put the financial requirement in this regard at 55 billion. The G7 would have therefore failed in terms of development policy. But if you take a look at the bare figures, you will see that the G7 are contributing their fair share according to their economic performance. I am not aware of any corresponding initiative by China, India, Russia, Brazil or the Arab world. So we are on track so far. At least we are. And at least on a topic that too rarely makes it into the headlines.

Personal happy moment of the week:

My two children are getting older - and on their own feet. First, my daughter, who just turned 20, was in Budapest with the political science department of her university. Although only in her first year of study already as a group leader. And then my son, who just turned 15, was at the partner school in Paris. As the only one from the 8th grade and the youngest participant of the student exchange. Both not only completed their trip with aplomb, but also took the opportunity to present themselves as cosmopolitan, curious, self-confident young people. And made their dad proud.

I couldn't care less...

...about the voting behavior of Turks in Germany. Because they are allowed to vote in their home country, even if they are resident abroad. And they do. In large numbers. Unfortunately, two-thirds for Recep Erdogan. That was the case in the regular presidential election a week ago and that will be the case in the runoff election a week from now. I do not understand that. People who live in a well developed prosperous democracy should actually appreciate its canon of values - and not keep an autocrat in power.

As I write this...

...I am sitting on the train to Cologne. As I or my employer had booked it. Which is no longer a matter of course in view of the frequent strikes lately. The next round of negotiations between the union and Deutsche Bahn is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, so my return trip should also work out that day. On schedule. Which is tantamount to being late. Right now, we've been theoretically on the move for 12 minutes - but we're still standing on the platform in Munich. So everything is completely normal.

Post Scriptum

The Arab League has welcomed Syria's ruler Bashar al-Assad back into its midst - with a brotherly kiss. Those who were still waiting for proof that human rights do not always feel at home in the Arab cultural area (to put it mildly) now have it. The greeting "Salam alaikum" means "(May) peace be upon you". Yeah - but some terms and conditions apply.

NURSING UNIVERSITY: Tamil Nadu's next expectation!

தமிழில்

Tamil Nadu's educational development received national attention. Our achievements in medical education are also proud. Tamil Nadu has the highest number of medical colleges in the country with 69. As the next milestone, there is an expectation that a Nursing University will also be established in Tamil Nadu.

According to the University Grants Commission (UGC) rules, a university can start if it has 100 colleges and graduates 5,000 students annually. In that way, Tamil Nadu was fully qualified many years before the establishment of Nursing University. Establishing such a university is the imperative of time.

TAMIL NADU AND NURSING:

The bond between Tamil Nadu and nurses is very deep. The first nursing school in Southeast Asia was started in Tamil Nadu in 1864. That is the MMC College of Nursing, which stands majestically near the Central Railway Station today. The first Nursing degree in India was introduced in 1946 at Vellore Christian Medical College.

Tamil Nadu has the highest number of Registered Nurses and Maternity Nurses in India (2,87,897); There are also 321 nurses who have completed doctorate degrees in Tamil Nadu. Also, Tamil Nadu ranks second after Kerala in the number of nurses who work abroad from India.

There are currently 241 Nursing Colleges, 193 Nursing Schools and 79 Nursing Assistant Schools in Tamil Nadu both government and private. All these together have a total of 84,000 nursing students. The University of Nursing will provide them with new courses and jobs suitable for their studies.

Next, there are 1,60,000 nurses working in government and private hospitals across Tamil Nadu. The University of Nursing will also create opportunities for them for further studies and improve their quality of life.

NEED FOR UNIVERSITY OF NURSING: Medical experts categorize the development of the nursing field worldwide as before and after the corona pandemic. The perception of nursing as a sub-discipline within the medical field is now beginning to change. The number of younger generations opting for nursing has also increased.

According to WHO guidelines, there should be one doctor per 1,000 people. But in that we have gone many steps ahead and created one doctor for 250 people. The World Health Organization's guidelines for these same nurses state that there should be three nurses per 1,000 people.

But the number of nurses in Tamil Nadu is only 1.5 per 1,000 people. Universities in Tamil Nadu refuse to give nursing colleges the importance they give to medical colleges and Siddha colleges. Dr. M.G.R. The governing council of the Medical University is the main decision-making body for nursing education across Tamil Nadu.

However, nurses have not yet been given any decision-making responsibility. Of the 14 members of the committee, only two are nurses. Therefore, there is an environment where doctors take decisions related to nurses without consulting them. There is a high demand for nurses in different fields like geriatric nursing, oncology nursing.

Hence, specialized nursing courses are also important for Tamil Nadu. Obstetrical nurses are the ones who do the important work of taking care of deliveries. But now it is not so easy for a Tamilnadu nurse to reach this position of maternity nurse.

A nurse can become a maternity nurse by first completing a BSc Nursing degree (4 years) or a Nursing Diploma (3 years), followed by two years of experience in Obstetrics and almost eight years.

Fearful of this, many nurses hold back from attempting to qualify as maternity nurses. As a result, Tamil Nadu has become the lowest state in India with only 46% of healthy births. If the University of Nursing brings, we can directly bring BSc Midwifery, a three-year course.

Nursing training institutes without formal recognition have sprung up in many places in Tamil Nadu. These institutes tend to divert students who are interested in nursing by offering six months training and one year training.

Both BSc Nursing and Diploma in Nursing are recognized as 'Registered Nurses'. There are many problems with this too.

Where to set up? - A British woman named Lali Seemati donated a few acres of land near Egmore, Chennai to the then Madras Provincial Government for the development of Tamil Nadu nurses. At this place now 'Lali Seemati Nurses Hostel' has been set up in her name.

But the nurses feel that this is not a step towards fulfilling the dream of a self-sacrificing person like Lali Seemati. So, in proper respect to her dream, a nursing university can be set up at that place.

Tamil Nadu is a model state in providing benefits to nurses. Also, the establishment of a new Nursing University in Tamilnadu will be the next step for Tamilnadu medical field!

செவிலியர் பல்கலைக்கழகம்: தமிழ்நாட்டின் அடுத்த எதிர்பார்ப்பு!

தமிழ்நாட்டின் கல்வி வளர்ச்சி தேசிய அளவில் கவனம் பெற்றது. மருத்துவக் கல்வியிலும் நமது சாதனைகள் பெருமிதத்துக்குரியவை. நாட்டிலேயே அதிகமாக தமிழ்நாட்டில்தான் 69 மருத்துவக் கல்லூரிகள் இருக்கின்றன. இதன் அடுத்த மைல்கல்லாக, செவிலியர் பல்கலைக்கழகமும் தமிழ்நாட்டில் அமைக்கப்படுமா என்னும் எதிர்பார்ப்பு எழுந் திருக்கிறது.

பல்கலைக்கழக மானியக் குழுவின் (UGC) விதிகள்படி, 100 கல்லூரிகள் மற்றும் ஆண்டுக்கு 5,000 மாணவர்கள் பட்டம் பெற்றால் பல்கலைக் கழகம் தொடங்கிவிடலாம். அந்த வகையில், செவிலியர் பல்கலைக்கழகம் அமைப்பதற்குப் பல ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்னரே முழுத் தகுதியையும் தமிழ்நாடு பெற்றுவிட்டது. அப்படி ஒரு பல்கலைக்கழகம் அமைவது காலத்தின் கட்டாயம்.

தமிழ்நாடும் செவிலியமும்:

தமிழ்நாட்டுக்கும் செவிலியர்களுக்குமான பந்தம் மிக ஆழமானது. தென்கிழக்கு ஆசியாவின் முதல் செவிலியர் பள்ளி 1864இல் தமிழ்நாட்டில்தான் தொடங்கப்பட்டது. அதுதான் இன்று சென்ட்ரல் ரயில் நிலையம் அருகே பிரம்மாண்டமாக நிற்கும் எம்எம்சி செவிலியர் கல்லூரி. இந்தியாவிலேயே முதன் முறையாக செவிலியர் பட்டப் படிப்பு - வேலூர் கிறிஸ்துவ மருத்துவக் கல்லூரியில் 1946இல் அறிமுகப்படுத்தப்பட்டது.

இந்தியாவில் பதிவுசெய்யப்பட்ட செவிலியர்கள் மற்றும் மகப்பேறு செவிலியர்களின் எண்ணிக்கை யில் தமிழ்நாடுதான் ���ுதலிடம் (2,87,897); முனைவர் பட்டம் முடித்த செவிலியர்களும் (321) தமிழ்நாட்டில்தான் இருக்கிறார்கள். மேலும், இந்தியாவிலிருந்து வெளிநாட்டுக்குச் சென்று பணிபுரியும் செவிலியர்களின் எண்ணிக்கையில் கேரளத்துக்கு அடுத்து இரண்டாம் இடத்தில் தமிழ்நாடு இருக்கிறது.

தமிழ்நாட்டில் தற்போது அரசு, தனியார் ஆகிய இரண்டு வகையிலும் 241 செவிலியர் கல்லூரிகள், 193 செவிலியர் பள்ளிகள், 79 செவிலியர் உதவியாளர் பள்ளிகள் இருக்கின்றன. இவை எல்லாவற்றிலும் சேர்த்து மொத்தமாக 84,000 செவிலிய மாணவர்கள் பயில்கிறார்கள். இவர்களுக்குப் புதிய படிப்புகள், படிப்புக்குத் தகுந்த வேலைவாய்ப்புகளைச் செவிலியர் பல்கலைக்கழகம் ஏற்படுத்திக்கொடுக்கும்.

அடுத்து, தமிழ்நாடெங்கும் அரசு, தனியார் மருத்துவ மனைகளில் 1,60,000 செவிலியர்கள் பணிபுரிகிறார்கள். இவர்களுக்கும் உகந்த மேற்படிப்பு களுக்கான வாய்ப்புகளை உருவாக்கி, வாழ்க்கைத் தரத்தை உயர்த்திக்கொள்ளவும் செவிலியர் பல்கலைக்கழகம் வழியமைக்கும்.

செவிலியர் பல்கலைக்கழகத்தின் தேவை: உலகெங்கும் செவிலியர் துறையின் வளர்ச்சியைக் கரோனா பெருந்தொற்றுக்கு முன் - பின் என வகைப்படுத்துகிறார்கள் மருத்துவ வல்லுநர்கள். செவிலியம் என்பது மருத்துவத் துறையில் இருக்கும் ஒரு உதிரிப் பிரிவு என்ற எண்ணம் தற்போது வெகுவாக மாறத் தொடங்கியிருக்கிறது. செவிலியர்படிப்பைத் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கும் இளம் தலைமுறையினரின் எண்ணிக்கையும் அதிகரித்துள்ளது.

உலக சுகாதார நிறுவனத்தின் விதிகளின்படி 1,000 பேருக்கு ஒரு மருத்துவர் இருக்க வேண்டும். ஆனால், அதில் நாம் பல படிகள் முன்னால் சென்று 250 பேருக்கு ஒரு மருத்து வரை உருவாக்கியிருக்கிறோம். இதே செவிலியர் களுக்கான உலக சுகாதார நிறுவனத்தின் விதிகள், 1,000 பேருக்கு மூன்று செவிலியர்கள் இருக்க வேண்டும் என்று சொல்கிறது.

ஆனால், தமிழ்நாட்டில் 1,000 பேருக்கு 1.5 என்ற விகிதத்திலேயே செவிலியர்களின் எண்ணிக்கை இருக்கிறது. தமிழ்நாட்டில் இருக்கும் பல்கலைக் கழகங்கள், மருத்துவக் கல்லூரிகள், சித்தா கல்லூரிகள் ஆகியவற்றுக்குக் கொடுக்கும் முக்கியத்துவத்தைச் செவிலியர் கல்லூரிகளுக்குக் கொடுக்க மறுத்துவருகின்றன. டாக்டர் எம்.ஜி.ஆர். மருத்துவப் பல்கலைக் கழகத்தின் நிர்வாகக் குழு (governing council) தான் தமிழ்நாடெங்கும் செவிலியர் படிப்பு தொடர்பான முடிவுகளை எடுக்கும் முக்கிய அமைப்பு.

ஆனால், இதில் செவிலியர்களுக்கு முடிவெடுக்கும் அதிகாரம் கொண்ட எந்தப் பொறுப்பும் இதுவரை வழங்கப்படவில்லை. அக்குழுவின் 14 உறுப்பினர்களில், இரண்டே இரண்டு பேர் மட்டும்தான் செவிலியர்கள். எனவே, செவிலியர்களைக் கலந்தாலோசிக்காமல், அவர்கள் தொடர்பான முடிவுகளை மருத்துவர்களே எடுக்கும் சூழல் நிலவுகிறது. முதியோர் செவிலியர், புற்றுநோயியல் செவிலியர் என வெவ்வேறு பிரிவுகளில் செவிலியர்களுக்கு அதிகமான தேவை இருக்கிறது.

எனவே, பிரத்யேகமான செவிலியர் படிப்புகளும் தமிழ்நாட்டுக்கு முக்கியம். பிரசவங்களைக் கவனித்துக்கொள்ளும் முக்கிய மான பணியைச் செய்பவர்கள் மகப்பேறு செவிலியர்கள். ஆனால், இந்த மகப்பேறு செவிலியர் நிலையை ஒரு தமிழ்நாட்டு செவிலியர் அடைவது அவ்வளவு எளிதான காரியமாக இப்போது இல்லை.

முதலில், பிஎஸ்சி செவிலியர் பட்டப் படிப்பு (4 ஆண்டுகள்) அல்லது செவிலியர் பட்டயப் படிப்பு (3 ஆண்டுகள்), அடுத்து மகப்பேறு மருத்துவத்தில் இரண்டு ஆண்டு அனுபவம் எனக் கிட்டத்தட்ட எட்டு ஆண்டுகளைச் செலவழித்தால்தான், ஒரு செவிலியரால் மகப்பேறு செவிலியராக இயலும்.

இதற்கு அஞ்சியே நிறைய செவிலியர்கள் மகப்பேறு செவிலியர் தகுதிபெற முயலாமல் பின்வாங்கிவிடுகிறார்கள். இதன் விளைவாக, இந்தியாவிலேயே மிகக்குறைவாக 46% அளவுக்கு மட்டும் சுகப்பிரசவங்கள் நடக்கும் மாநிலமாகத் தமிழ்நாடு மாறியிருக்கிறது. செவிலியர் பல்கலைக் கழகம் கொண்டுவந்தால், நம்மால் நேரடியாக BSc Midwifery என்ற மூன்று ஆண்டுப் படிப்பைக் கொண்டுவரலாம்.

முறையான அங்கீகாரம் இல்லாத செவிலியர் பயிற்சி நிறுவனங்கள் தமிழ்நாட்டின் பல இடங்களில் உருவாகியிருக்கின்றன. இந்நிறுவனங்கள் ஆறு மாதப் பயிற்சி, ஓராண்டுப் பயிற்சி என செவிலியர் ஆர்வம் கொண்ட மாணவர்களைத் திசைதிருப்பும் போக்கைச் செய்துவருகின்றன.

பிஎஸ்சி செவிலியர் பட்டப்படிப்பை முடித்தவர்களுக்கும் செவிலியர் பட்டயப் படிப்பை முடித்தவர்களுக்கும், ஒரே மாதிரியான ‘பதிவுசெய்யப்பட்ட செவிலியர்’ என்ற அங்கீகாரம் வழங்கப்பட்டு வருகிறது. இதிலும் நிறையச் சிக்கல்கள் இருக்கின்றன.

எங்கு அமைப்பது? - லாலி சீமாட்டி என்கிற பிரிட்டிஷ் பெண்மணி, தமிழ்நாட்டு செவிலியர்களின் மேம்பாட்டுக்காக சென்னை எழும்பூர் அருகே சில ஏக்கர் நிலத்தை, அன்றைய மெட்ராஸ் மாகாண அரசுக்குத் தானமாகக் கொடுத்தார். இந்த இடத்தில் தற்போது அவரது பெயரில் ‘லாலி சீமாட்டி செவிலியர் தங்கும் விடுதி’ அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

ஆனால், லாலி சீமாட்டி போன்ற தியாக உள்ளம் படைத்தவரின் கனவுக்கு ஈடுகொடுக்கும் முன்னெடுப்பாக இது இல்லை என்பதே செவிலியர்களின் கருத்து. எனவே, அவரது கனவுக்கு முறையான மரியாதை செலுத்தும் வகையில், அந்த இடத்தில் செவிலியர் பல்கலைக்கழகம் அமைக்கலாம்.

செவிலியர்களுக்கு நலன்களை அளிப்பதில் தமிழ்நாடு முன்னுதாரண மாநிலமாக இருக்கிறது. கூடவே, தமிழ்நாட்டில் புதிதாக ஒரு செவிலியர் பல்கலைக்கழகம் அமைவது தமிழ்நாட்டு மருத்துவத் துறையின் அடுத்தகட்டப் பாய்ச்சலாக அமையும்!

21 cases of Covid-19 subvariant JN. 1 detected in India, authorities on high alert

With the fresh cases of coronavirus subvariant JN.1 emerging in India, Indian authorities have been on high alert. The subvariant JN. 1 is being investigated by the scientific community as the authorities work on curbing its spread already. As per NITI Aayog member (health) Dr V K Paul, as of now, 21 cases of COVID-19 JN.1 sub-variant have been detected in the country. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is focused on the genome sequencing of the variant.

Out of the 21 cases, 19 cases have been detected in Goa while Kerala and Maharashtra have recorded one each.

First found in late 2023, the JN.1 (BA.2.86.1.1) variant of COVID-19 is a descendant of the BA.2.86 lineage (Pirola) of SARS-CoV-2. The BA.2.86 lineage (Pirola) first emerged in August 2023 and showed more than 30 mutations in the spike (5) protein unlike the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XBB lineages. The mutations make the variant highly risky with a high potential for immune evasion.

The JN.1 subvariant has been classified as a variant of interest by the World Health Organization.

Head of Pulmonary Medicine at Safdarjung Hospital, Dr. Rohit Kumar said, “COVID is an RNA virus that changes its form from time to time, and new variants of it emerge. And now a new variant has emerged, which has been named JN.1. However, not a single case has come to light in the capital, Delhi yet.”

"We are on alert, keeping an eye on the Corona cases. Testing of patients is also being done, and the patients who are coming positive are also being sent for genome sequencing. So that new variants can also be detected, but till now no case of new variants has been reported in Delhi," Dr Kumar said.

"If there is a sore throat, cough, cold, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, consult the doctor immediately. Especially those already suffering from respiratory diseases and asthma patients need to take special care. The doctor mentioned that during this season, individuals with serious diseases should be more careful, as those dying due to Covid often have pre-existing serious conditions such as heart disease and diabetes," he added.
