A <keyword id="19925751" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mobile-app" source="keywords">mobile app</keyword> could help predict if a pregnant woman will develop depression in the latter stages of pregnancy, according to new <keyword id="19913261" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="research" source="keywords">research</keyword>. By asking women to respond to surveys during their first trimester, researchers identified various risk factors, including <keyword id="20015710" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sleep-quality" source="keywords">sleep quality</keyword> and <keyword id="20406931" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="food-insecurity" source="keywords">food insecurity</keyword>, for developing depression. "We can ask people a small set of questions and get a good sense of whether they'll become depressed," said lead author Tamar Krishnamurti, an associate professor of general internal medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, US. "Strikingly, a lot of risk factors for future depression are things that are modifiable -- such as sleep quality, concerns about labour and delivery and, importantly, access to food -- meaning that we can and should do something about them," said Krishnamurti. Identifying women vulnerable to developing depression in the earlier stages of pregnancy could help tailor preventive care and offer support to address underlying causes, the researchers said. For the study, the researchers analysed the survey responses of 944 <keyword id="19905236" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pregnant-women" source="keywords">pregnant women</keyword> who used the app as part of a larger study and did not have a history of depression. In their first trimester of pregnancy, the women responded to questions about demographics and their medical history, along with those on stress and feelings of sadness. Some of the 944 women also responded to optional questions on social factors related to their health, such as food insecurity. All women were screened for depression once every trimester. The researchers developed six machine-learning models using all the data. The best one was found to be 89 per cent accurate in predicting depression in a pregnant woman. A machine learning algorithm is a form of artificial intelligence that learns from past data to make predictions. The accuracy of the model rose to 93 per cent when the researchers included the responses to optional questions on health-related social factors. They found that food insecurity, or access to food, emerged as an important risk factor for pregnant women to develop depression in the latter stages of pregnancy. The researchers are now developing methods to integrate these survey questions into clinical settings and identifying how clinicians could have these conversations with patients about the risk of depression.

Published in the Proceedings of the <keyword id="21125238" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="national-academy-of-sciences" source="keywords">National Academy of Sciences</keyword>, the <a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2401882121" data-type="tilCustomLink">research</a> highlights how infants exposed to higher levels of fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) are likely to earn less as adults, with the most significant impacts observed in the Midwest and South of the United States. “This study takes a big step toward filling the knowledge gap on the crucial link between environmental factors and long-term economic outcomes,” said Francesca Dominici, lead author and professor at Harvard. The findings underscore how environmental pollution, particularly air quality, plays a significant role in shaping not just public health but economic mobility and well-being later in life. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112921592" title="Indoor air pollution poses greater health risk than outdoor: Experts" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> <h2>Key findings </h2>The study focused on US individuals born between 1978 and 1983, analysing their PM2.5 exposure from 1980 to 2010, and compared it to their earnings in 2014-2015 when they were between 31 and 37 years old. The results were telling: a one-unit increase in PM2.5 exposure was associated with a 1.146% decrease in <keyword id="23109325" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="economic-earnings" source="Orion">economic earnings</keyword>, measured using a statistic called <keyword id="23109327" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Absolute-Upward-Mobility" source="Orion">Absolute Upward Mobility</keyword> (AUM). The data revealed that this impact was not uniform across the country. Midwestern and Southern regions saw the highest negative effects, suggesting regional disparities in both air quality and its long-term economic impacts. <h2>Call for action </h2>The authors argue that these findings should encourage the creation of stringent national air quality standards, as well as targeted interventions to address pollution in highly affected regions. Luca Merlo, co-lead author, emphasised the importance of addressing both environmental and economic inequalities through integrated policies. This research builds on growing evidence of the far-reaching consequences of air pollution, further solidifying the argument that improving air quality is not only vital for public health but also for fostering economic growth and opportunity. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112853990" title="India saw 19.3% drop in particulate pollution in 2022, adding 51 days to life expectancy: Report" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

As the world celebrates World EV Day, <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords">India</keyword>'s significant progress in adopting <keyword id="19895203" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="electric-vehicles" source="keywords">electric vehicles</keyword> (EVs) across various categories is commendable, however, there is still a long way to go. The government of India's <keyword id="23096041" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vaahan-Dashboard" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Vaahan Dashboard" meta.hostid="153" meta.entityid="Vaahan Dashboard">Vaahan Dashboard</keyword> data shows an increasing trend to shift towards green mobility solutions. The most notable trend in EV penetration has been witnessed in the three-wheeler category, where EVs have surged ahead in overall sales. According to the data, 53.61% of all new three-wheeler vehicles purchased this year (2024) were electric, making this segment the leader in <keyword id="20421629" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="EV-adoption" source="keywords">EV adoption</keyword>. The two-wheeler segment has also shown encouraging signs of EV adoption, with electric vehicles accounting for 4.97% of all two-wheeler sales so far in 2024. While the percentage is lower compared to <keyword id="20412606" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="three-wheelers" source="keywords">three-wheelers</keyword>, the two-wheeler category holds significant potential for growth, given its dominance in India's overall vehicle sales market. As more consumers seek cost-effective and <keyword id="20991927" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="environmentally-friendly" source="keywords">environmentally friendly</keyword> alternatives, the penetration of EVs in this segment is expected to grow further in the coming years. However, in the four-wheeler segment, the adoption of EVs remains relatively low, with electric cars making up just 2.14% of total car sales this year. Despite this, the increasing availability of EV models and government incentives are expected to drive further growth in this segment. Interestingly, the penetration of electric buses is higher than that of electric cars, with 3.20% of all new buses sold in 2024 being electric. This trend highlights the growing importance of sustainable public transport solutions as cities aim to reduce emissions and promote cleaner alternatives in mass transit. "Electric vehicles offer a very compelling solutions because they do not emit any tailpipe emissions so that improves their air quality that reduces their air pollution. It also reduces the carbon emission so it helps India to meet with its climate goals and generally, electric vehicles have lower operating cost as compared to the IC engine vehicles," said Samhita Shiledar, Director RMI to ANI. On a state-wise level, the Vaahan dashboard data highlighted that Goa leads the country in EV penetration, with 14.20% of all new vehicles sold this year being electric. Tripura ranks second, followed by Chandigarh in third place. Delhi also stands out with a 10.72% penetration of EVs in total vehicle sales, showcasing the capital's push towards sustainable urban mobility. On the other hand, Himachal Pradesh reported the lowest EV penetration, with only 1.09% of new vehicles sold being electric. In terms of total number of EV sales across all segments in India, the two-wheeler category dominates the electric vehicle market in India, accounting for approximately 51% of total EV sales this year. As World EV Day highlights the global commitment to cleaner mobility solutions, India's data reflects a promising shift but a long way to go towards electrification across various vehicle segments.

World EV Day: 50%+ three-wheelers, 5% of 2-wheelers, and 2% of cars purchased in 2024 are EVs.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Nicola Prentis sees a green flag when a guy's online dating profile lists him as non-monogamous.</li><li>She finds these men to be honest and great at communication.</li></ul>The first time I <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/single-mom-dating-men-without-kids-no-fathers-less-complicated-2024-4">dated</a> a non-monogamous man was in 2012. That lasted a year and a half until I met someone else and transitioned into a more traditional, monogamous relationship that lasted five years. In hindsight, the earlier relationship was undoubtedly the healthiest I've ever experienced.Contrary to what some people assume about <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/non-monogamy-terms-guide-definitions-2023-5">non-monogamy</a>, it's not just about sex. I've found that open relationships only work if they're based on complete trust, honesty, and great communication. Those are all key qualities I want in a partner. So, when I recently opted to give <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dating-apps-new-method-online-burned-haystack-jennie-young-2024-9">dating apps another try</a>, I decided to actively look out for "non-monogamy" when scrolling through online dating profiles.They've been easy to find, as two years ago, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dating-apps-match-burning-people-out-these-reasons-hinge-ceo-2023-12">Hinge</a> — the app I'm trying out this time around — added a feature that allows users to designate their "relationship type" on their profile. The choices include "monogamous," "non-monogamous" or "figuring out my relationship type."<h2 id="12d38e4d-463c-41c0-ab03-3c20b0272364">Non-monogamous men are more honest</h2>Men who state their preferred relationship type as <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/non-monogamous-relationship-on-accident-2023-7">non-monogamous </a>probably drive away a lot of women, but I see it as brave and uncompromising that they choose to write it anyway. Basically, they don't just tell you what they think you want to hear. When I see "non-monogamy," as long as the profile has their actual photo and they're not hiding behind anything, I'm confident I'm going to meet someone who's transparent. For the ones with partners, I've found that not only is she aware he's on <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/single-mom-celibacy-to-avoid-dating-apps-bumble-campaign-2024-5">dating apps</a>, but she's usually dating around as well. I'm not interested in profiles that list multiple options. Reading between the lines, to me, it just means: "I'm playing the field so don't hold me to anything." They also seem to be the ones who are probably not OK with you being with other people.One such man, who'd been divorced for over 10 years, asked me what my dating life had been like in the five years I'd been single. I replied truthfully that I'd rekindled a few old relationships and explored some long-standing friendships. His response was: "How will it work with all of these men around?" It made me wonder what he would have said if I had shared less and just told him that I'd been "figuring out my relationship type" for five years. Someone who selects only "non-monogamy" has usually made some very well-thought-out and difficult choices about how they want to live their life. It takes guts to be transparent and honest about that despite it narrowing the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dating-apps-find-love-romance-online-tinder-match-total-scam-2024-10">dating pool</a> significantly. <h2 id="c95941ac-3105-43d3-8894-1746e2a3d9b5">They are better communicators</h2>I've found these men to be open about their feelings and intentions across the board. They know that trust isn't limited to sexual fidelity; it's about making someone feel secure, airing problems before they blow up, and following up words with actions. They're also good at communicating plans, which I've found rare in the dating world, where I often don't know when or if a guy wants to see me again. With my partner in 2012, we'd plan our next date at the end of every date. I always felt valued and secure. Juggling multiple people means having to be really good at time management, so concrete plans are important. But I see it as more than just being on top of their diary, it feels like non-monogamous men I've dated place a high value on relationships. They've learned that you can't let things go stale or silent if you want to share something special. That's right, I said special, not unique, which isn't at all the same thing.<h2 id="f5902501-1538-45d8-86e8-a57a8db711b9">It's not just about sex</h2>I've found that non-monogamous men have an abundance mindset when it comes to sex, not a scarcity mindset. They don't need to hoard it, chase it, or pressure it. For monogamous men, you're the only one who can supply what they want, unless they cheat, so there's more chance of scarcity and, therefore, pressure.I tested this out on a couple of first dates recently, one with a non-monogamous man and another with a monogamy/figuring out my relationship style profile. During the evening, I told them both that, in the last five years, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/single-mom-celibacy-to-avoid-dating-apps-bumble-campaign-2024-5">my average length of time before sleeping with a guy</a> has been 12 years. The monogamous man physically recoiled — he actually took a step back."I haven't got 12 years, luv," he said. His overall air was somewhat offended. He disappeared quickly. The non-monogamous guy? He got it straight away. "Ah, it's about trust," he said. "Exactly!" I felt so heard. The conversation then naturally moved on to other topics — no big deal. The second time we met up, I asked him about his reaction. "You were describing how it has been," he said, showing once again how he was able to simply hear what I said instead of a threat to his likelihood of sex. A third date is on the cards.So far, I've never actually been in an <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ex-husband-open-relationship-met-partner-divorce-engaged-2024-3">open relationship</a>, I've only dated men who were non-monogamous while I've been single. But they've certainly taught me to expect much more than just bringing monogamy to a relationship.Got a personal essay about dating that you want to share?

<ul class="summary-list"><li>If Facebook Messenger is not working for you, you should restart the app, toggle the Wi-Fi, and try the service on another device.</li><li>You can also check to see if the Messenger service is offline using Downdetector.</li></ul>Messenger, formerly known as Facebook Messenger, is a popular messaging app that you may use to stay in touch with many of your friends, family, and coworkers. So if Messenger isn't working, that can bring your communication to a screeching halt. Here are seven of the most common ways to troubleshoot and fix your connection to Messenger. <h2>Restart the Messenger app</h2>For some people, the Messenger app has a habit of slowing down or behaving erratically if it's not restarted occasionally. The remedy is simple: Force the app to close and then restart it. Here is how to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-close-apps-on-samsung-galaxy-s10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">close an app on Android</a> and how to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-close-apps-on-iphone-x" target="_blank" rel="noopener">close an app on iPhone</a>.<h2>Turn off Wi-Fi</h2>The Messenger app can run into trouble if it's trying to communicate over a poor-quality Wi-Fi connection. If you're in doubt about how well your Wi-Fi is working (perhaps you're using a public Wi-Fi network), turn it off and rely on your cellular connection instead. Swipe down from the top of the screen to see the iPhone Control Center or your Android phone's shortcut panel and tap the Wi-Fi icon to temporarily disable it. Then try using the app again. <div type="image" title="The Control Center on iPhone." height="1837" width="1242" msid="103279093" hostid="261" sizebytes="45812"></div><h2>See if Messenger works on another device</h2>Because Messenger is cross-platform and works almost anywhere (there are apps for iPhone and Android, and you can use it in a browser for Windows, Mac, and even Chrome) you can easily see if the problem also occurs on another device. If you're using your iPhone, for example, try logging into Messenger in a browser on your laptop. If it works, great; you can keep using that second device. And that'll help you troubleshoot the problem as well, since you narrowed the glitch down to your device. <h2>Restart your phone</h2>If you suspect the problem is related to your phone, restart it and see if that solves the problem. You can turn off most Android phones by holding the power button for several seconds, or you can swipe down from the top of the screen to see the shortcuts panel and tap the power icon. Here's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-restart-iphone">how to restart your iPhone</a>, regardless of which model you own.<h2>See if Messenger is down</h2>Messenger relies on an online service to communicate. If that network is down, Messenger won't work. To see if the problem resides with Facebook rather than your app, check the <a href="https://downdetector.com/status/facebook-messenger/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook Messenger status page on Downdetector</a>. You can also search "is Facebook Messenger down" in your web browser. <div type="image" title="Facebook Messenger status page at Downdetector." height="843" width="1150" msid="103279096" hostid="261" sizebytes="65380"></div><h2>Clear your data cache</h2>Messenger stores temporary data in a cache, and if that cache gets corrupted, the app will often not work properly. It's relatively easy to clear the cache, but the process varies depending upon whether you're using an iPhone or Android. To clear the cache on an iPhone, you need to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-delete-apps-on-iphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uninstall the app</a> and then reinstall it from the App Store. If you have an Android phone, you can clear the app's cache without removing the app:1. Start the Settings app and tap Apps.2. If necessary, tap See all apps and then tap Messenger.3. Tap Storage &amp; cache. 4. Tap Clear storage. <div type="image" title="The app details page on Android." height="1855" width="1080" msid="103279098" hostid="261" sizebytes="29136"></div><h2>Reinstall Messenger</h2>If you've tried all the other troubleshooting steps in this article and Messenger is still not working, you might want to uninstall and then reinstall the app. This resets the app back to its "factory conditions" and can solve some problems with the app and its data. Here is how to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-delete-apps-on-iphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uninstall an app on an iPhone</a>, and here's what you need to know to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-delete-apps-on-android" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uninstall apps on Android</a>.

A report by IQAir, a Swiss air quality monitoring body ranked India as the third most polluted country in 2023. With concerns about pollution and health on the rise, many are turning to air purifiers to improve the air quality in their homes. German smart home products company Karcher has launched the AF 30 Air Purifier in the country to help reduce air pollution in homes. I have been testing the Karcher AF 30 Air Purifier for a few weeks now and here is my detailed review of the device, to help you decide if you should buy this air purifier for your home. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Karcher AF 30 price in India" comment="subhead" text="Karcher AF 30 price in India"><keyword id="21063976" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Karcher-AF-30-price" source="Orion">Karcher AF 30 price</keyword> in India</cmsannotation> The Karcher AF 30 is currently priced at ₹23,880 and is available from Amazon India and the Karcher India<a href="https://shopkarcherindia.com/air-purifier-af-30.html"> website</a>. Pros <ul><li>Reliable performance </li><li>Noiseless purification </li></ul>Cons <ul><li>Lacks app support </li><li>Design </li></ul> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Design" comment="subhead" text="Design">Design</cmsannotation> The Karcher AF 30 Air Purifier is built keeping performance in mind and you don’t get a really fancy design. The air purifier comes with a boxy design with inlets on two sides and the clean air is thrown out from the top. <div type="image" title="photo_2024-03-23_16-27-13" msid="108732765" hostid="261" sizebytes="12234" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The air purifier during high levels of pollution&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the front, you get a small display that shows you key metrics such as the pollution levels, temperature, humidity, fan speed, filter life and more. Below that, you get the Karcher branding. At the back, you get a sticker that reveals some key information about the device, including its wattage. <div type="image" title="Top" msid="108732793" hostid="261" sizebytes="19910" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The air outlet and buttons on top&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the top, you get a cutout for fresh air. You also get buttons to control the device, including the power button, fan speed button, night mode button, lock button and more. The buttons are responsive and work properly when you tap them. The minimalist control panel on the top allows for easy operation, as you don’t have to worry about pressing the wrong button. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Features and performance" comment="subhead" text="Features and performance">Features and performance</cmsannotation> The Karcher AF 30 Air Purifier is suitable for medium-sized rooms up to 60 square metres. Do note that it does not offer any connectivity feature, meaning you cannot track its performance from your phone or control it with smart home devices. It comes with the H13 filtration system which is capable of capturing up to 99.95% of particles as small as 0.3 µm. The device includes an activated carbon filter, which helps to remove unpleasant odours and other compounds from the air. It is also equipped with a pre-filter that captures larger particles and extends the life of the H13 filter. <div type="image" title="Side" msid="108732885" hostid="261" sizebytes="44918" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The inlet system on the side&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It features a dual air inlet system that allows it to take in air from two sides, which ensures higher air purification in a shorter amount of time. You can choose from multiple fan speed settings to customise the purification process as it offers five different fan speeds. The Karcher AF 30 Air Purifier is highly effective in removing allergens, fine dust, and other harmful particles from the air. It comes with an intelligent air quality sensor, which continuously monitors the ambient air and adjusts the purification level accordingly. It uses a laser sensor that allows it to efficiently manage the fan speed while being used in auto mode. It comes with a night mode that reduces the noise level and dims the display, ensuring that your sleep is not affected. If you have kids, you can enable the child safety lock feature that prevents accidental changes to the settings. Like most devices out there, it comes with a timer function that allows you to set the air purifier to run for a specific amount of time. The company has claimed that the filter has a service life of around a year. However, this could increase or decrease based on your usage and pollution levels in your home. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Karcher AF 30 is a good option if you are looking for a reliable air purifier for your home at an affordable price. While it is able to clean the air efficiently and quickly, it misses out on a few things such as design and connectivity options. If you do not mind not being able to control the device with your phone, the Karcher AF 30 is worth considering.
