the Opposition is bereft of a po-litical strategist. At the strategic lev-el, the ethos of India has trans-formed from the Nehruvian toHindu. the congress leadershipshould realise that, being the seniorpolitical party, it has a duty towardsthe country. It is one of the impor-tant guardians of democracy, wher-ever it be. Acquiring power and gov-erning properly comes next in its or-der of obligations. As it appears, thecongress is devoted to none of these.It merely displays a hatred of PrimeMinister Narendra Modi, which hasno place in democracy. An opponentis an adversary, nothing more.Abuses like “chowkidar chor hai”betray the speaker’s character andpollute the political atmosphere tono one’s gain. the congress hasmostly functioned on the FührerPrincip or the leadership principle.From 1921, Mohandas K Gandhicontinued to dominate the party un-til 1946. then it was the turn ofJawaharlal Nehru, especially afterSardar Patel’s passing away. He wasfollowed by his illustrious daughterIndira Gandhi and then by her sonRajiv who knew or understood littleof politics but managed somehowfor five years. But he left a dent in theparty. the poor men and womenceased to think it was their party. It

was now the organisation of the richwho wore Gucci shoes, Ray-Banglasses and so on. However, no onelooked upon the congress as an an-ti-Hindu set-up. After PVNarasimha Rao completed his termas the PM, the party began to wob-ble. It seemed as if it was not beingheld together. the consensusemerged that only a Nehru-Gandhican do so. thus Sonia Gandhi wasvirtually fished out from theMediterranean Sea for the partypresidentship. to many an objectiveobserver, it seemed that she would

not be able to cope with the job. Butshe did for 10 years, not by hit-or-miss but by mediocre partiality. thesecret was Ahmed Patel, a young MPfrom Bharuch in Gujarat who wasloyal to Indira Gandhi right throughthe Emergency. He sat at the 12,Willingdon crescent, bungalow out-side Indira’s workroom on a stoolthe whole day, except for the lunchhour when he went home.Presuming me to be a fellow sympa-thiser, he explained the reason to meat the circuit House, Ahmedabad.While he was not, by any means, a

rabid Muslim, he felt that the futureof Muslims in India lay in modera-tion and the congress. No other par-ty was dependable and capable ofkeeping his community acrossIndia, more or less, united. And theNehru-Gandhis were the only familyunder whose umbrellacongressmen could remain togeth-er. Hindu domination would ruinthis dar-ul-Aman. While Patel wasSonia’s guide, friend and philoso-pher, she could play the role of thesupreme leader of the congress andlater that of an elder statesman inIndia. trouble began for this cozyarrangement when Patel contractedcOVId and subsequently became apyara of Allah. Ahmedbhai was anepitome of political selflessness andabove the usual political desires. Hewas utterly loyal to the Nehru-Gandhis, and did not place any im-portance on becoming a Ministernor was he particularly fond of mon-ey. Above all, he never threw hisweight around. Evidently, these arerare qualities in the world of politics.then, he was a non-Hindu and,therefore, could easily fit into themould of Sonia’s preferences. Shewould, therefore, blindly trust him.For a foreign lady to understand thecurrents and cross-currents ofIndia’s diverse politics is almost im-possible, especially if we remember

The Fuhrer Princip is Congress’ bane

Living by chance or by choice ?

The World Bank is under suspicionBy : GOvIND BHATTACHARJEE

An investigation conducted bythe World Bank revealed data irreg-ularities and cited the role of severalIMF chiefs in tweaking data inchina’s favour. India was on thecusp of improving its ranking fur-ther on the World Bank’s “Ease ofdoing Business” index. It had insti-tuted a single window system for allinvestors and businesses to elimi-nate the filing of multiple applica-tions across ministries and depart-ments. It would allow automatic re-newal of licenses without the re-quirement of visiting anyGovernment office. Sadly, the WorldBank suspended the ranking itselfdue to past data irregularity. It hascome as a big disappointment forIndia and PM Narendra Modi right-ly flagged it in his recent address tothe UN General Assembly saying theworld institutions had “damagedtheir credibility”. credibility was thecasualty when the World Bank hadto disclose that a number of irregu-larities were reported regardingchanges to the data in its ‘doingBusiness’ reports, changes that were“inconsistent with the doingBusiness methodology.” to main-tain the integrity and impartiality ofdata and analysis, the World Bankpromised to conduct systematic re-view and internal audit of theprocess of data collection and as-sessment of the controls and to “ret-rospectively correct the data ofcountries that were most affected bythe irregularities”, if necessary. thecountries involved were mainlychina, UAE and Saudi Arabia. thesordid affair once again brought tothe fore the heft that china has in the

international multilateral institu-tions, of which it is a major contribu-tor. Ever since they were launched in2003, the ease of business rankingshave been a valuable tool for coun-tries to improve their rankings in or-der to attract industries and invest-ment. the reports have so far engen-dered nearly 5,000 regulatory re-forms in 190 countries includingIndia, whose ranking went up by 17notches last year improving its rank-ing to 63rd position among thesecountries. India indeed took a giantleap in its ranking which improvedfrom 130 in 2016 to 63 in 2020, forwhich credit must be given to thetransformational reforms undertak-en by the present government. thePM’s ambition is to improve itsranking to within the top 50, and thereport would have acted as a catalystin this effort. An investigation con-

ducted by the World Bank reporteddata irregularities in the ‘doingBusiness’reports and cited the rolesof present IMF chief KristalinaGeorgieva and the Bank’s then pres-ident Jim yong Kim, who was thenher boss, in tweaking the data infavour of china. china launched aslew of reforms afterit was ranked84 in2016to free entrepreneursfrom red tape, cutting fees and ef-fected other reforms that improvedits ranking to 78 in 2017, where it re-mained in 2018. But then its rankingimproved dramatically, from 78 to46 in 2019 and then to 31 in 2020.

the Bank’s investigation foundthat the staff involved in the processimproperly altered the scores of atthe behest of its chief, Jim yong Kim,a South Korea-born American.Georgieva of course denied the alle-gations, saying that she only asked

bank researchers to triple-check thedata. But the investigators foundthat she and herstaff had explored achange in the bank’s method (by in-cluding only one city per country) toorchestrate a better result for chinaand that the changes that were final-ly implemented introduced errorsinto the report. the bank cited“pressure applied by cEO Georgievaand her advisor, djankov, to makespecific changes to china’s datapoints in an effort to increase itsranking at precisely the same timethe country was expected to play akey role in the bank’s capital in-crease campaign”. In fact, Simeondjankov was the economist whoselandmark paper, written with threeother academics, was the trigger forlaunching the’ doing Business’ re-port in 2003. On the basis of quanti-tative evidence gathered from 85countries, the paper had found thatcountries with stricter entry regula-tion for business had higher corrup-tion and larger unofficialeconomies, with poor quality of pub-lic or private goods. It also foundthat countries with more democraticand limited governments had lighterentry regulations, and that heavierentry regulation benefited onlypoliticians and bureaucrats withoutadding any value to the businesses.the ‘doing Business’ ranking isdone by a survey conducted throughquestionnaire to measure the regu-lations directly affecting businesses.A nation’s ranking depends on 41sample indicators grouped under 10sub-indices which include the easeof starting a business, dealing withconstruction permits, getting per-manent electricity connection, reg-

the cancer survivor rate in chil-dren is over 80 per cent in developedcountries; however, in lower-middleincome countries, it’s only about 20per cent. this was during the peak ofthe second wave of covid-19 inIndia. A five-year-old boy was re-ferred to us from Bareilly, UttarPradesh. His was a blood cancercase. He came at night with pallor,bleeding from the nostrils and haddifficulty in breathing. We ruled outcOVId-19, transfused blood, start-ed antibiotics and did a bone mar-row test that revealed a type of bloodcancer called acute lymphoblasticleukaemia. ALL, as we call this can-cer, is one of the “better” cancers achild can have if one were to have achoice in these matters. It has a curerate of more than 80-90 per cent.We informed his father and got onwith our job. the boy had a bad fun-gal infection in his nose and lungs,akin to the “black fungus” which wasdoing the rounds those days. Westarted treatment for both; cancerand fungus, and thankfully got bothunder control in the next few weeks.

In cancer, it always takes a vil-lage to treat one child. We need doc-tors and nurses to deliver treatment,social workers to make the families

understand the process and get doc-uments ready for financial aid, a di-etician to suggest the required diet,psychologists, and volunteers to givemoral support to parents during thisordeal, voluntary blood donors, andso on. cancer is one of the mostfeared diagnoses in the paediatricage group. At present, in developedcountries, more than 80 per cent ofchildren diagnosed with cancer getcured of the illness and will becomelong-term survivors. However, asper WHO, in lower-middle-incomecountries, only about 20 per cent areexpected to survive. the hurdles forus are many. there are no screeningtests for cancers in children. thesymptoms of cancer like fever, bonypain, etc., mimic many other com-mon illnesses in children. It takes anastute doctor to put things togetherand suspect cancer, failing whichthey die soon because childhoodcancers are aggressive and grow fast.

Even when suspected, the fearand stigma of the disease paralyseand prevent some from seekingmedical care. Many lives are lost inthe hands of quacks who promise acure without the “side-effects” ofchemotherapy. And finally, evenfrom those who reach a hospital,many discontinue treatment whilerunning around for “second opin-

ion” or magical remedies. We re-cently analysed our data of 154 newchildhood cancer cases diagnosedover 18 months, where 23 discontin-ued treatment and subsequentlydied. 11 cited poverty as the reasoneven though the children were get-ting treated for free through variousschemes. In centres such as ours,both governmental and non-govern-mental machinery starts rolling theminute a child steps into the hospital

so that the family gets the best possi-ble treatment without having to waitfor arranging finances. AyushmanBharat, Prime Minister’s ReliefFund, chief Minister’s Relief Fund,Asadhya Rog Scheme, RashtriyaArogya Nidhi, are some of theGovernment schemes that cater tochildren with cancer. Our countryhas the means and methods to sup-port high-end radiotherapy, surgery

he long term strategy of government to connect

Ladakh with rest of country with multiple ways is

now fully adopted. the Zojila tunnel, which is being

constructed between Baltal and Minamarg on the

Srinagar-Leh section of the NH-1, will allow for all-weather

access between Srinagar and Leh across the year. the

Zojila tunnel will be the longest bi-directional road tunnel

in Asia upon completion. Keeping in view the aggressive

behavior of neighboring country, government of India un-

der the leadership of Prime Minister Narinder Modi is tak-

ing steps to fully connect Ladakh region. Now security

arrangements have been heightened along the Line of

Actual control (LAc) in Ladakh amid continuing border

tension with china. India has hit out at china for attempt-

ing to blame it for the eastern Ladakh standoff, asserting

that the "provocative" behaviour and "unilateral" attempts

by the chinese military to alter the status quo along the

LAc in the region seriously disturbed peace in the region.

India has deployed the first K9-Vajra self-propelled how-

itzer regiment in the forward areas in Ladakh sector along

the Line of Actual control (LAc) with china. the self-pro-

pelled guns can strike enemy targets at around 50 km.

India is strong enough to guard its boundaries and capable

to defeat the designs of enemy. After two decades of being

planned, the third axis to Ladakh connecting Leh to Manali

that will provide year-round connectivity to the Union

territory is now expected to be complete by 2025. the ur-

gency was shown to expedite the work on the project that is

considered critical for strategic reasons. Other than the

Srinagar-Leh and Manali-Leh roads, a need was felt to

have an alternate access to Ladakh after the Kargil conflict

of 1999. the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has now

launched five major road development projects in Ladakh

in tune with the government's efforts to improve overall in-

frastructure in the strategically key region. the projects in-

cluded construction of greenfield alignment and upgrad-

ing of major single lane roads to double-lane and tun-

nelling works. the construction of the Hanuthang-

Handanbroke-Zungpal-turtuk road will provide inter val-

ley connectivity between Hanuthang-Handanbroke (Indus

Valley) and Zungpal-turtuk (Shyok Valley) across the

Stakpuchan Range. this will also reduce the travel time to

three-and-half hours from existing nine hours to turtuk

via Leh without crossing the treacherous Khardungla pass.

the BJP led government has done a remarkable work in

the defense and security sector. From procuring defense

equipment to fighter aircrafts all has been done with keep-

ing in view the interest of India.

No child’s play

A ban on online gaming will help neither the child nor the parents. theUnion Government wants parents and teachers to look for “gaming disor-ders” among children. the prompt for such an advisory comes as schoolsreopen in the country after close to 18 months on account of cOVId-19.the Government is worried that children have become addicted to mobilephones and online gaming during this period. the advisory says gamingwithout restriction and self-limits leads to addiction and disorders.Symptoms of addiction, the advisory tells us, are “unusually secretive be-haviour” like changing screens when parents approach children, fallinggrades and changing social behaviour. It wants parents and teachers totell children to also maintain safety precautions like not revealing theirnames, using screen names, not clicking on links and images from un-known sites and not communicating with strangers. Excessive liberalismand political correctness may find fault with the advisory as being intru-sive and imposing the Government’s sense of morality on children. theconservatives, on the other hand, will welcome the move and probably askfor a ban on online gaming. the truth lies somewhere in between. If par-ents gift an expensive mobile phone to their child, the latter will playgames on it and the parents surely know that. the parents have two choic-es: One, to let the child play without any limits, and two, to teach the childto play responsibly. the media has reported the fallout in both cases somechildren stealing money to play online games while some inflicted self-harm or attempted suicide when kept away from playing. A ban, just likeunchecked freedom to play, will help neither the child nor the parents andinstead impact their relationship. However, the Government advisorytakes the issue out of the personal world of parents and their children andinto the public domain. to what extent is the exercise prudent andwhether the advisory could have been conveyed to the parents in a morepersonal setting is something for the society to debate. One thing is clear,that any action of the State, once initiated, will reach its logical end. Where

and bone marrow transplant in these children, if needed.despite all this, the sad fact is that there are many who stillare not able to avail any of these. September is “celebrated”as childhood cancer awareness month worldwide. WHOhas set a goal of 60 per cent survival in childhood cancer by2030 for low-and-middle income economies.

What is the way ahead for us? If a condition such aschildhood cancer comes under the purview of a nationalpolicy with the involvement of government machineryright from tracking children with suggestive symptoms,getting them to a treatment centre, hand-holding themthrough the treatment, similar to what we did with cOVId-19, then there is no looking back. this process will have col-

lateral benefits too. the network of care-providers getsstrengthened, quality of diagnostics, hospital infection-prevention policy, nursing practices and documentationget refined. And of course, the joy of meeting a childhoodcancer survivor who has gone on to make a life aheadmakes every struggle worth it. Our own tussles and egospale in comparison with what they have gone through andachieved. the boy and his dad went home for a short breakin between treatment and never returned. Maybe therewere pressing concerns for his dadback home. the boydied after a month. the economical divide that exists in ourcountry could not be more obvious. For some, life is some-thing you get by chance. For them, there is no choice.

the gaming advisory will eventually lead to is anybody’sguess. For now, there is the recent example of china whichdecided in July that it will not allow children to become ad-dicted to online games. Instead of an advisory, the chineseGovernment brought out an executive order, telling chil-dren under 18 that they are now allowed to play for justthree hours a week. they can access games for an houreach on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Interestingly, while

the Indian advisory recommends children using screennames, the chinese rules ask the gaming companies tomake sure that players use their real names to sign on andprevent those who use fictitious names. there is also a lim-it to what the children can spend on micro-transactions.And the Government has begun to go slow on approvingnew online games. the right to privacy or prudence is thequestion.

For 11 economies including India, china,Bangladesh, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Nigeria, Pakistan,Russia and the USA, the two largest cities are selected fromeach, and the score is calculated as the population-weight-ed average of the scores for these two cities. For India thecities selected are Mumbai and delhi. the 2020 report,benchmarked on May 1, 2019, acknowledged 10 economiesincluding china, India and also Pakistan that implementeda total of 59 regulatory reforms in 2018/19 accounting forone-fifth of all the reforms implemented worldwide. Itmentioned the PM’s “Make in India” campaign focused onattracting foreign investment, boosting the private sector,especially manufacturing and improving the country’soverall competitiveness. It acknowledged that both Indiaand china had adopted the ‘doing Business’ indicators as a“core component of their reform strategies” and demon-strated tangible progress in the reforms. One reason whyIndia’s ranking improved was because of creating betterawareness among respondents and involving top officialslike partners in accounting firms in the process of respond-ing to survey questionnaires something that was routinelydelegated to officials much lower in the hierarchy who were

not properly equipped to appreciate their significance andresponded to the questions rather mechanically. But thisalone would not have worked without accompanying re-forms in the concerned topics. For highlighting the coun-tries that implemented substantial reforms, the report firstselects those countries that implemented substantial re-forms in respect of at least three of the 10 topics. For the2020 report, 42 economies qualified in this, includingIndia, china and Pakistan. the areas in which Indiashowed improvement included the ease in starting busi-ness, dealing with construction permits, trading acrossborders and in resolving insolvency. Since then, the gov-ernment has been focussing in the areas that remained un-addressed till then to remove the regulatory bottlenecks tomake the rules simpler and investor-friendly. corporatetaxes were reduced substantially in September 2019 andprocedures made simpler, and improvements were madein many other areas including the single window clearancesystem which is now operational. As a result of all this,India expected another upgrade in the current year.Unfortunately, that was when the crisis erupted leading todiscontinuance of the report. Given its potential to effectreforms, an objective and unbiased doing Business rank-ing will help many leaders to motivate their bureaucracyand legal institutions to implement reforms. It is hopedthat the rankings will reappear in the near future after nec-essary revisions in methodology and with suitable over-sight mechanisms involving NGOs.

At the ground strategic lev-el, the ethos of India has transformed from the Nehruvianto Hindu. What to do in this situation? the entireOpposition is roundly confused. Socialism on the one handand Hindu priorities on the other, do not gel. the former,in Marxist terms, can be described “from each according tohis ability, to each according to his opportunity”, whereasthe Hindu ethos revolves around karma. the sum of a per-

son’s karma, including in past lives, would determine hisopportunity and not the state of the Government. Non-alignment should not necessarily mean Nehruvianpropensity to run and retreat, as he did particularly againstchina in the 1950s. In Kashmir, too, he was ready to spitbut reluctant to fire. the results are for everyone to see. theincumbent Government’s burden is to clean and clear themess Nehruviansm has left behind. the latter’s incompe-tence in ruling has been evident in every member of itsfamily. We have seen Nehru’s performance as well Rajiv’s.Indira’s performance is also well known with regard to the93,000 Pakistani prisoners of war let off in 1972. doubtsremain regarding the wisdom of relieving Pakistan of itsunwanted backyard, which commanded the majority of itsthen undivided population.

India's Ambassador to china Vikram Misri onSaturday paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his152nd birth anniversary by garlanding his statue atthe chaoyang public park here. the statue was in-stalled by china's acclaimed sculptor and artistyuan Xikun at the park in 2005. Gandhi was bornon this day in 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat.Ambassador Misri, addressing a gathering at theEmbassy, said: perhaps no other national leaderhas been memorialised in stone or metal in so manydifferent countries as Gandhi . the fact that thesemarks of respect to his memory continue to comeup overseas even in the 21st century, nearly threequarters of a century after he passed away, is testi-mony to the continuing relevance of and indeedfascination of the world with the Mahatma an un-matched apostle of peace and non-violence, hesaid. Misri said that Gandhi is relevant in the 21stcentury as well because his achievements weremonumental. the ends he secured, among themIndia's independence, were unmatched in scaleand scope in human history and remain so, butwhat is particularly remarkable is the means thathe deployed in securing those ends.

the fact that nobody has been able to show thatthese means are no longer relevant is precisely thereason why Gandhi remains relevant, the IndianAmbassador added.

Pak govt in talks with TTPmilitants for'reconciliation': PM KhanIslamabad, Oct 2 (PTI)

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has saidhis government is in talks with some groups of thebanned tehreek-i-taliban Pakistan (ttP) for "rec-onciliation" with the help of the taliban inAfghanistan. the ttP, commonly known asPakistani taliban, is a banned militant group basedalong the Afghan-Pakistan border. It has carriedout a number of major terror attacks acrossPakistan and reportedly been using Afghan soil toplot terrorist attacks in this country. there were re-ports that the Afghan taliban had set free somedreaded ttP militants, including its leading com-mander Maulvi Faqir Mohammad, after takingover the war-torn country in August. In an inter-view to turkish government-owned tRt Worldnews channel, Khan said there are different groupswhich form the ttP and some of them want to talkto the Pakistan government for peace, the dawnNews reported on Friday. "So, we are in talks withthem. It's a reconciliation process," the prime min-ister said. When asked if the government was ask-ing the militants to lay down arms, Khan said, "yes,we forgive them and they become normal citizens."to a question on why the ttP was conducting at-tacks on Pakistan's security forces when they werein talks with the government, he said it was just a"spate of attacks". "We might not reach some sort ofconclusion or settlement in the end but we are talk-ing," Khan added. Responding to another query onwhether the Afghan taliban were acting as media-tors between the ttP and Pakistan, the premiersaid: "Since the talks were taking place inAfghanistan, so in that sense, yes." the talibanswept across Afghanistan in August, seizing controlof almost all key towns and cities in the backdrop ofwithdrawal of the US forces that began on May 1.On August 15, the capital city of Kabul fell to the in-surgents. the taliban claimed victory over opposi-tion forces in the last holdout province of Panjshiron September 6, completing their takeover ofAfghanistan three weeks after capturing Kabul.the taliban have put in place a hardline interim33-member cabinet that has no women and in-cludes UN-designated terrorists. the taliban lastruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. Earlier inSeptember, President Arif Alvi had suggested thatthe Pakistani government could consider giving anamnesty to those members of the ttP who had notremained involved in "criminal activities" and wholaid down their weapons and agreed to adhere tothe Pakistani constitution. Such an amnesty couldbe one of the ways to "establish peace", the presi-dent had said.

the rapid growth of thecrypto ecosystem presentsnew opportunities, the IMFhas said but also cautionedthat the digital currency as-sets pose financial stabilitychallenges.

cryptocurrencies aredigital or virtual currenciesin which encryption tech-niques are used to regulatethe generation of their unitsand verify the transfer offunds, operating independ-ently of a central bank.

the rapid growth of thecrypto ecosystem presentsnew opportunities.technological innovation isushering in a new era thatmakes payments and otherfinancial services cheaper,faster, more accessible, andallows them to flow across

borders swiftly, said in achapter of its latest reportGlobal Financial StabilityReport.

crypto asset technolo-gies have the potential as atool for faster and cheapercross-border payments.Bank deposits can be trans-formed to stable coins thatallow instant access to a vastarray of financial productsfrom digital platforms andallow instant currency con-version, said the IMF in itschapter titled the cryptoEcosystem and FinancialStability challenges.

decentralised financecould become a platform formore innovative, inclusive,and transparent financialservices, it added.

despite potential gains,the rapid growth and in-creasing adoption of cryptoassets also pose financial

stability challenges, the IMFsaid.

In a recent interview toPtI, tobias Adrian, theFinancial counsellor anddirector of the Monetaryand capital Marketsdepartment of IMF said thatBitcoin could lead to insta-bility because it is extremelyvolatile. It was trading above65,000 just about earlierthis year, and then it camedown to below 30,000.

It might go back up, itmight go back down. So ifyou're a merchant, andyou're quoting in Bitcoinyou're exposed to this mas-sive volatility. It is muchmore volatile than equitiesor commodities or even ex-change rates. It's a very, veryvolatile asset, and that is in-troducing instability, hesaid. It's fine as an invest-ment asset right. But as a

monetary aggregate, it justdoesn't have the right prop-erties, Adrian said.

And let me just add twomore problems with that.One is that transaction costscan be fairly expensive andcompared to digital money,as it's the case in India forexample, where you have areal-time gross settlementpayment system, it's actual-ly slow because it's a distrib-uted ledger, and to knowthat the transaction hasgone through, it has to beverified on all of these differ-ent computers. So, it's notthat instantaneous, and itcan be expensive to transactand it's extremely volatile. Itdoesn't have the propertiesthat you want money tohave, he said.

the IMF in its reportsaid that challenges posedby the crypto ecosystem in-

clude operational and finan-cial integrity risks fromcrypto asset providers, in-vestor protection risks forcrypto-assets and deFi, andinadequate reserves and dis-closure for some stablecoins.

In emerging markets,the advent of crypto assetshas benefits but can acceler-ate cryptoisation and cir-cumvent exchange and capi-tal control restrictions.Increased trading of crypto-assets in these economiescould lead to destabilizingcapital flows, it said.

Policymakers shouldimplement global standardsfor crypto-assets and en-hance their ability to moni-tor the crypto ecosystem byaddressing data gaps. As therole of stable coins grows,regulations should corre-spond to the risks they pose

and the economic functionsthey perform. Emergingmarkets faced with cryptoi-sation risks should strength-en macroeconomic policiesand consider the benefits ofissuing central bank digitalcurrencies, the report said.

In a joint blog post, threeIMF officials dimitrisdrakopoulos, FabioNatalucci, and EvanPapageorgiou wrote that ascrypto assets take hold, reg-ulators need to step up.

crypto-assets offer anew world of opportunities:Quick and easy payments.Innovative financial servic-es. Inclusive access to previ-ously unbanked parts of theworld. All are made possibleby the crypto ecosystem,they wrote. But along withthe opportunities comechallenges and risks, itadded.

In all, theMaldives has received a totalof 3.12 lakh doses of Made-in-India covid vaccines throughgrants, commercial ship-ments and the cOVAX facili-ty. the UK had initially re-fused to recognise covishield,manufactured by the SerumInstitute of India. However,following India's strong criti-cism of the decision, the UKon September 22 amended itsnew guidelines and includedthe vaccine.

However, the move didnot provide any relief fromquarantine rules for Indiantravellers vaccinated withtwo doses of covishield.Later, British officials saidthe UK has issues with India'svaccine certification processand not with the covishieldvaccine. Under the newBritish rules that are cominginto effect from Monday, fullyvaccinated Indians will haveto undergo 10-day quaran-tine as the UK has issues withIndia's covid-19 vaccine cer-tification.

Usually, the committeemeets in November, brings the re-port to the General Assembly indecember for adoption and I amsure that Sweden will keep to thecredentials schedule, President ofthe 76th session of the UN GeneralAssembly Abdulla Shahid said inhis first press conference here onriday. Shahid was responding to aquestion on whether he is in con-tact with the members of thecredentials committee on the is-sue of representation of Myanmarand Afghanistan at the UN.

Initially, Afghanistan'sPermanent Representative ap-pointed by the ousted AshrafGhani-government, GhulamIsaczai, was listed to speak for thecountry on the final day of theGeneral debate on September 27.

However, Isaczai withdrew hisparticipation. the taliban hadwritten to UN Secretary GeneralAntonio Guterres nominatingtheir spokesman Suhail Shaheenas Afghanistan's ambassador tothe UN and had asked to partici-pate in the high-level 76th sessionof the UN General Assembly.

Following the February 1 coupin Myanmar, its military rulershave said the country'sAmbassador at UN Kyaw Moe tunhas been dismissed and they wantAung thurein to replace him. thematter of who represents the twocountries at the UN has now goneto the credentials committee, cur-rently being chaired by Swedenand with the US, china, Russia,Bahamas, Namibia, Sierra Leone,Bhutan and chile as members.Shahid said the credentialscommittee will consider the mat-

ters on its agenda and they willsubmit the report, as other com-mittees do, to the GeneralAssembly. Of course, the GeneralAssembly as the universal bodymakes a decision. So it will be the193 countries who will decide, hesaid, adding that the committeewill review and submit its findingsand then the entire 193 membercountries will have the opportuni-ty to decide. this has been the pastpractice and it's been done manymany times . Shahid further saidwhenever the UN receives conflict-ing credentials communications,they are referred to thecommittee. Sweden, as chair, willdo the consultations and then a re-port is expected to be submitted tothe General Assembly indecember.

So I'm waiting for the chair toconvene the meeting, he said,

adding that the final decision onthe credentials will be made by theGeneral Assembly and then com-municated to the administrationwhichever way the GeneralAssembly decides .

Shahid also specified thatapart from the letter from thetaliban last month, no other com-munication has been receivedfrom the group. On September 20,on the eve of the commencementof the high-level UN Generaldebate, the Secretary-General hadreceived a communication withthe letterhead Islamic Emirate ofAfghanistan, Ministry of ForeignAffairs dated September 20, 2021,signed by Ameer Khan Muttaqi asMinister of Foreign Affairs , re-questing to participate in the 76thsession of the UN GeneralAssembly on September 21-27,2021 .

A small fix might make reading abit easier for kids with dyslexia, aswell as their classmates: Increasingthe amount of space between printedletters.

that's the finding of a small studythat tested the effects of "extra-large"letter spacing on school children'sreading speed and accuracy. And itadds to a conflicting body of researchinto whether visual aids are useful topeople with dyslexia.

dyslexia is a learning disabilitythat affects 15% to 20% of Americans,according to the Internationaldyslexia Association. It causes diffi-culty with reading, spelling and writ-ing.

In the new study, researchersfound that putting extra room be-tween printed letters seemed to makethe task of reading aloud a little easierfor kids with and without dyslexia.

Overall, children boosted theirreading speed during a 3-minute test.And those with dyslexia cut downsomewhat on reading errors — specif-ically, skipping words.

However, whether extra letterspacing, or any visual aids, make ameaningful difference to kids with

dyslexia is controversial.While there's a popular percep-

tion that dyslexia is a visual problem,years of research show otherwise, saiddaniela Montalto, a pediatric neu-ropsychiatrist who was not involvedin the study.

"Multiple studies have ruled outthat dyslexia is a visual-processingdisorder and, therefore, is not reme-diated or supported by the implemen-tation of visual aids," said Montalto,who is based at NyU Langone'sHassenfeld children's Hospital inNew york city.

Instead, she said, dyslexia is con-sidered a language-based disability.

Research suggests it involvesdeficits in processing the sounds thatmake up language, and decoding howthey relate to printed letters andwords. the impairments are mainlyrooted in language areas of the brain,Montalto said.

Still, she noted, some researchershave been looking at whether "weak-nesses" in visual processing couldcontribute to the slow reading seen indyslexia.

that includes research into visualreading aids like wider letter spacing,

color overlays to reduce eyestrain, or"dyslexia-friendly" fonts.

Some studies have suggested ben-efits. But they've had limitations thatmake it hard to draw conclusions, ac-cording to Montalto. Plus, she said,when other researchers have tried toreplicate the results, they've come upwith contradictory findings — partic-ularly with color overlays.

Enter the new study — publishedonline Sept. 29 in the journalResearch in developmentaldisabilities.

the study included 32 childrenwith dyslexia and 27 without,matched for age and IQ scores. the re-searchers had each child read aloudfour short texts — with or without ex-tra letter spacing, and with or without

color overlays.It turned out that the overlays

made no difference in reading speedor errors. But the letter-spacing tacticdid: Kids without dyslexia read 5%faster, on average; the improvementwas bigger among children withdyslexia, at 13%.

children with dyslexia also tend-ed to skip fewer words when readingfrom the roomier text. there was noeffect, though, on other reading er-rors, like saying the wrong word ormispronunciations."One of the niceaspects of extra spacing is that it canbe used for everyone in a class andbenefit everyone," said lead re-searcher Steven Stagg, a lecturer inpsychology at Anglia RuskinUniversity in the United Kingdom. "Itdoes not single out children withdyslexia."

It would be relatively easy, Staggsaid, for teachers to use extra spacingin handouts. In the United Kingdom,he noted, a petition is circulating toget exam boards to print tests in thatformat. And some companies maketexts with extra spacing, he said.

Stagg acknowledged that theoriessuggesting that dyslexia involves

problems with visual processing are"not conclusive." He also noted thatkids with dyslexia sometimes have co-existing conditions, like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or aneye disorder called Meares-Irlen syn-drome.

"So it may be the other disordersthat conspire to make reading moredifficult from a visual-processingstandpoint," Stagg said.

According to Montalto, failure toaccount for those other conditions isone of the limitations of studies test-ing visual aids for dyslexia. Similarly,they often lack information on thekinds of reading remediation kids hadpreviously received.

Specialized reading instruction,in or outside school, is the standardway to help kids manage dyslexia.While tweaking text spacing or fontsmay not cause harm, Montalto said,it's no replacement for comprehen-sive help. "It will not remediate or im-prove the brain regions primarily re-sponsible for dyslexia," she said. "Andit may in some instances delay the ini-tiation of proven interventions knownto positively change the brains ofdyslexic students."

A Simple Way to Boost Kids' Reading Skills?

Many people with long-term back pain have triedphysical therapy and med-ication, to no avail. A newstudy suggests they might"unlearn" their discomfortin weeks -- using psycho-logical therapy.

"For a long time, wehave thought that chronicpain is due primarily toproblems in the body, andmost treatments to datehave targeted that," saidyoni Ashar, who led thestudy while earning his Phdin the department of psy-chology and neuroscienceat University of coloradoBoulder.

"this treatment isbased on the premise thatthe brain can generate painin the absence of injury orafter an injury has healed,and that people can unlearnthat pain. Our study showsit works," Ashar said in auniversity news release.

the study involved 151men and women with backpain for at least six monthswho took part in a four-week psychological treat-ment called PainReprocessing therapy.they had mild to moderatepain and underwent eightone-hour sessions in all.

According to the studyresults, two-thirds werepain-free or nearly pain-free after treatment. And

most remained free of painfor one year.

"the magnitude anddurability of pain reduc-tions we saw are very rarelyobserved in chronic paintreatment trials," Asharsaid. Opioids have onlymoderate and short-termrelief in many trials, headded.

About 85% of peoplewith chronic back pain havepain for which tests can'tfind a clear bodily source,such as tissue damage, theresearchers said.

Misfiring neural path-ways are partly to blame,according to the study.different brain regions ac-tivate more during chronicpain than acute pain.Among chronic pain pa-tients, certain neural net-works are sensitized tooverreact to even mild stim-uli. "the idea is that bythinking about the pain assafe rather than threaten-ing, patients can alter thebrain networks reinforcingthe pain, and neutralize it,"said Ashar, now a postdoc-toral researcher at Weillcornell Medicine in Newyork city.

the goal of the treat-ment is to educate the pa-tient about the role of thebrain in causing chronicpain and to help them reap-praise their pain as they

move in ways they'd beenafraid to. It also aims tohelp them cope with emo-tions that may increasetheir pain.

After treatment, 66% ofpatients in the treatmentgroup were pain-free ornearly pain-free comparedwith 20% of the patientswho got sham therapy and10% of those who had notreatment.

And when people in thepsychotherapy group wereexposed to pain in a scannerpost-treatment, brain re-gions associated with painprocessing -- including theanterior insula and anteriormidcingulate -- had quieted

significantly.the study focused on

chronic back pain, so largerstudies are needed in the fu-ture to see if the treatmentwould have the same re-sults for other chronic pain.

"this study suggests afundamentally new way tothink about both the causesof chronic back pain formany people and the toolsthat are available to treatthat pain," said researcherSona dimidjian, a professorof psychology and neuro-science at cU Boulder. "Itprovides a potentially pow-erful option for people whowant to live free or nearlyfree of pain."

Special Therapy Brings Relief toPatients With Chronic Back Pain

despite the troublingfindings of a congressionalreport released earlier thisyear on toxins in babyfoods, a new report showseven more manufacturersare selling baby foods thatcontain potentially unsafelevels of heavy metals.

the toxins in questioninclude dangerous levels ofarsenic, lead, cadmium,and mercury, among oth-ers. Named in the findingsare some high-profile com-panies, including Gerber,

Plum Organics, and Beech-Nut. In citing Gerber, con-gressional investigatorssaid the company's infantrice cereal contained inor-ganic arsenic levels that ex-ceeded the U.S. Food anddrug Administration limitand "failed to recall" them,cBS News reported.Responding to a request forcomment, Gerber said it"follows a consistent andrigorous testing plan whichincludes regular testing offinished products" and in-

creases testing "for prod-ucts that have a history ofnaturally occurring level[s]of heavy metals." the sub-committee report also not-ed that some samples ofBeech-Nut products con-tained more inorganic ar-senic than allowed. A recallissued in June was too nar-row, it said. Beech-Nutcountered by saying it"proactively withdrew allthose rice cereal productsfrom supermarketshelves." the company said

it also decided to stop sell-ing infant rice products be-cause it "is concernedabout being able to consis-tently obtain rice flour wellbelow the FdA guidancelevel."

the report also saidmost Plum Organics prod-ucts, including Super Puffssnacks, contained heavymetals.

"No level of toxic heavymetals and exposure tothem is safe for a baby,"said Illinois Rep.

type 2 diabetes may up the riskfor Alzheimer's disease by alteringbrain function, new animal researchsuggests.

A University of Nevada Las Vegasteam showed that chronically highblood sugar could impair memoryand alter aspects of working memorynetworks in rodents.

"diabetes is a major risk factor fordeveloping Alzheimer's disease, but itis not clear why," said study authorJames Hyman, an associate professorof psychology.

"We show that a central feature ofdiabetes, hyperglycemia, impairsneural activity in ways that are simi-lar to what is observed in preclinicalAlzheimer's disease models," Hymansaid in a university news release.

"this is the first evidence showingneural activity changes due to hyper-glycemia overlap with what is ob-served in Alzheimer's systems."

Working with rats, the researchteam found that two parts of the braincentral to forming and retrievingmemories -- the hippocampus andthe anterior cingulate cortex -- were"over-connected, or hypersynchro-nized" with type 2 diabetes.

When they need to access correctinformation and complete a task,these two brain areas, which are af-fected early in Alzheimer's disease,were over-communicating with eachother, causing errors, the researcherssaid.

"We know synchrony is impor-tant for different parts of the brain to

work together. But, we're findingmore and more these days, that thekey with neural synchrony is it has tohappen at the right time, and it has tohappen with control," Hyman said."Sometimes, there's just too much'talking' between certain areas and wethink this leads to memory difficul-ties, among other things."

He said it's possible thatAlzheimer's patients have over-con-nection in some brain areas wherethere should be flexibility.

"In the models in our study, we'reseeing evidence of that in real-time atthese crucial moments to do the task,"Hyman added.

Research on animals does not al-ways produce the same results in hu-mans.

Physical activity andless screen time are associ-ated with better mentalhealth outcomes for chil-dren during the pandemic,according to a study pub-lished online Oct. 1 in JA-MA Network Open.

Pooja S. tandon, M.d.,M.P.H., from Seattlechildren's ResearchInstitute, and colleaguesconducted a cross-sectionalsurvey involving 500 chil-dren aged 6 to 10 years and500 children and adoles-cents aged 11 to 17 years.the association of physicalactivity and screen timewith mental health of U.S.children was examined dur-ing the pandemic.

the researchers found

that 195 children (20.9 per-cent) reported at least 60minutes of physical activityper day.

children reported 4.4hours of recreational screentime per day and a mean of3.9 days/week with at least60 minutes of physical ac-tivity per day. there weresignificant associationsseen for cOVId-19 stres-sors with higher total diffi-culties in the Strengths anddifficulties Questionnairefor younger and oldergroups. For younger chil-dren, engaging in physicalactivity seven days/weekwas associated with fewerexternalizing symptoms.Among older children, en-gaging in one to six and sev-

en days/week of physicalactivity was associated withlower total difficulties, few-er externalizing symptoms,and fewer internalizingsymptoms. For youngerand older children, therewas an association ob-served for more screen timewith higher total difficul-ties.

"Although much of theimmediate health concernsrelated to the cOVId-19pandemic have focused oninfection and its sequelae,this cross-sectional studyhighlights the critical needto also address the short-and long-term conse-quences of the pandemic onthe mental health of chil-dren," the authors write.

drinks aren't likely to help, re-searchers warn.

And those containing the artifi-cial sweetener sucralose may evenincrease food cravings and appetitein women and people who areobese, according to a University ofSouthern california study.

"there is controversy sur-rounding the use of artificial sweet-eners because a lot of people are us-ing them for weight loss," said cor-responding author dr. KathleenPage, an associate professor at theuniversity's Keck School ofMedicine, in Los Angeles.

"While some studies suggestthey may be helpful, others showthey may be contributing to weightgain, type 2 diabetes and othermetabolic disorders. Our studylooked at different populationgroups to tease out some of the rea-sons behind those conflicting re-sults," she said in a school news re-lease.

In the study, Page's team asked74 people to drink 300 milliliters offluid — beverages sweetened withtable sugar, sucralose, or water (asa control). the participants did soat three different sessions.

In the two hours that followed,

MRIs checked how brain regionsinvolved in appetite and food crav-ings reacted when participantswere shown pictures of foods like aburger and donut.

there was increased activity inthose brain areas after women andpeople who were obese had drinkscontaining sucralose, comparedwith drinks containing real sugar.

And levels of hormones that tellthe body "I feel full" fell after su-cralose-containing drinks, suggest-ing that artificially sweeteneddrinks may not be effective in sup-pressing hunger. In addition,women, but not men, who drank

sucralose-containing drinks atemore at the snack buffet, the studyfindings showed.

"Our study starts to providecontext for the mixed results fromprevious studies when it comes tothe neural and behavioral effects ofartificial sweeteners," Page said."By studying different groups wewere able to show that females andpeople with obesity may be moresensitive to artificial sweeteners.For these groups, drinking artifi-cially sweetened drinks may trickthe brain into feeling hungry,which may in turn result in morecalories being consumed."

Besides the long-establishedbenefits of breastfeeding for babyand mom, a new study reports onemore: Nursing could help chase theblues away.

It is linked to a lower risk forpostpartum depression -- the so-called "baby blues" -- and nursingfor a longer time may further easedepression symptoms, accordingto the findings.

"Women suffering from post-partum depression, which occurswithin four weeks and up to 12months after childbirth, endurefeelings of sadness, anxiety and ex-treme fatigue that makes it difficultfor them to function," said seniorstudy author christine toledo, anassistant professor in the christineE. Lynn college of Nursing atFlorida Atlantic University.

"Women with postpartum de-pression who are not treated alsomay have negative outcomes, in-cluding difficulty bonding with and

caring for their children, thoughtsof harming themselves or their in-fant, and also are at an increasedrisk of substance misuse," toledosaid in a university news release.

Researchers from FAU and sev-eral other universities used a data-base of nearly 29,700 women in 26states to examine breastfeedingand depression status.

Nearly 13% of the women wereat risk of postpartum depression,the study found. But women whowere breastfeeding at the time ofthe study had a statistically signifi-cant lower risk of postpartum de-pression than those who were not.

the researchers also found arelationship between the length ofbreastfeeding and postpartum de-pression. Specifically, as the num-ber of weeks of breastfeeding in-creased, the risk of depression de-creased. Postpartum depression isthe greatest risk factor for maternalsuicide and infanticide, the killing

of a child within a year of birth. theU.S. centers for disease controland Prevention estimates that be-tween 11% and 20% of new momsexperience postpartum depres-sion. With about 4 million births ayear in the United States, that's

about 800,000 women affected.their risks go up as families grow.Women who have experiencedpostpartum depression have a 50%higher risk of experiencing it withfuture pregnancies, according tothe study.
