How global warming forced polar bears to adapt for survival
Polar bears in Greenland have shown considerable flexibility as climate change forced them to drastically adapt their diet and habitat, but the current shift could still prove a daunting challenge, researchers said Wednesday.
Study reveals high-dose Covid treatment is less effective in India than Europe
Researchers, including those from Copenhagen University Hospital and Apollo Hospitals in India, found that a larger dose (12 mg) did not show the same benefits as the standard dose (6 mg) for COVID-19 patients in India, based on survival rates and patient well-being after 90 and 180 days.
Polar bear numbers in Greenland declining over last 20,000 years: Study
A new study has found that polar bear numbers in Greenland have been declining over the past 20,000 years due to rising sea temperatures. The research, which analysed genetic material, food choices, and habitat, along with historical climate data, revealed that even small increases in water temperature and reductions in sea ice can have a dramatic impact on the polar bear population.
Duel of diplomacy: Inside the rift between Nobel Prize winner Abiy Ahmed & WHO head Tedros Adhanom
Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who were once allies, are now on opposite sides of a campaign to discredit Tedros. Previously undisclosed Ethiopian government documents reveal allegations of embezzlement and sexual misconduct against Tedros, who denies all the accusations.

These "seemingly simple" jellies, no bigger than a fingernail and living in mangrove swamps, have a complex visual system with 24 eyes embedded in their bell-like body, they said.
Six of nine planetary boundaries now exceeded: Study
A study updating the planetary boundary framework shows that human activities are increasing the risk of triggering dramatic changes in Earth conditions. The framework identifies nine planetary boundaries that regulate the stability and livability of the planet. The study finds that six of the boundaries are being transgressed, with transgression increasing for all except the degradation of the ozone layer

New study finds urban living increases risk of respiratory infections among young children
A study presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress found that children growing up in urban areas are more likely to suffer from respiratory infections compared to those in rural areas.
Ocean currents regulating climate globally could collapse mid-century: Study
Collapse of ocean currents, that redistribute temperatures and precipitation between the tropics and the North Atlantic, is predicted to happen around mid-century if current greenhouse gas emissions persist, new research has found. Shutting down these currents could have serious consequences for the Earth's climate, such as a colder future for Europe, increased warming in the tropics and increased storminess in the North Atlantic region, the research published in Nature Communications journal said.

The statue was believed to have been stolen from a site in Turkey.
Europe to Open AI 'crash test' centres to ensure safety
The Europe Union is introducing "crash test" systems for artificial intelligence to ensure new innovations are safe before they hit the market. The trade bloc launched four permanent testing and experimental facilities across Europe on Tuesday, having injected ₹220 million ($240 million) into the project. The centers, which are virtual and physical, will from next year give technology providers a space to test AI and robotics in real-life settings within manufacturing, health care, agriculture and food, and cities.
Greenland at its warmest in 1,000 years: Study
"This confirms the bad news that we know already unfortunately ... (It is) clear that we need to get this warming under control in order to stop the melting of the Greenlandic ice sheet", climate physics associate professor Bo Mollesoe Vinther of the University of Copenhagen told AFP.

Researchers reveal gene that increases muscular strength during exercise
The study showed how different types of exercise change the molecules in our muscles, resulting in the discovery of the new C18ORF25 gene that is activated with all types of exercise and responsible for promoting muscle strength. Animals without C18ORF25 have poor exercise performance and weaker muscles.
