<p>Polling is underway for 175 Assembly seats in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh as it undergoes a crucial electoral battle on Monday (May 13) along with Lok Sabha elections. The outcome will determine whether the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP), the incumbent regional party in power, will retain its position or be ousted. Concurrently, all 25 Lok Sabha seats of Andhra Pradesh are also witnessing voting in the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Election Commission of India (ECI) recorded a voter turnout of &nbsp;63.04% in Phase 4 of the current Lok Sabha elections. Andhra Pradesh recorded voter turnout of 68.20%.</p>

<p>Key contenders in the assembly polls include Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy from Pulivendula Assembly seat, Janasena chief and actor Pawan Kalyan from Pithapuram, TDP supremo&nbsp; and former CM N Chandrababu Naidu from Kuppam.</p>

Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections: 68.20% voter turnout recorded

<p>Contrary to common belief, spending time online may actually contribute to greater wellbeing globally, according to new research. Professor Andrew Przybylski of the University of Oxford, co-author of the study, highlighted the significance of their analysis, which delved into the relationship between internet usage and wellbeing on a global scale. He noted the limitations of previous studies, which often focused on specific regions and age groups.&nbsp;Earlier research has predominantly centred on North America and Europe and primarily addressed concerns surrounding technology, especially its impact on young people.</p>

<p>“It would be really good to be able to target advice and tools and regulation to protect young people in particular, but that evidence simply doesn’t exist in a way that would be useful for those ends,” Przybylski said.</p>

<p>Published in the journal Technology, Mind, and Behaviour, the study, co-authored by Dr Matti Vuorre of Tilburg University, analysed data collected from interviews spanning&nbsp;from 2006 to 2021.</p>

<p>The research encompassed a vast sample of over 2.4 million participants aged 15 and above. By employing over 33,000 statistical models, the researchers were able to explore associations between internet access and various measures of well-being. It looked into factors like income, education, health, and relationship status - all integral components of an individual's overall well-being as they play&nbsp;a unique role in shaping one's quality of life.</p>

Love triangle turns heads: Young man from India’s Bihar marries two women in 20 days

<p>Researchers have come across a new exoplanet TOI-6713.01 located approximately 66 light-years away from Earth, reports said citing a recent study published in The Astronomical Journal.&nbsp;This newly discovered exoplanet orbiting its parent star is a celestial marvel and what sets this exoplanet apart is its striking resemblance to Jupiter's moon, Io, known for its volcanic activity.</p>

<p>This rocky world, about 30 percent larger than our own planet, is distinguished by its scorching surface temperature. The temperatures surpass even some stars at around 4220 degrees Fahrenheit.</p>

<p>Study author Stephen Kane from the University of California, Riverside, expressed his astonishment at the discovery. He said, "It was one of those discovery moments that you think, 'wow, it's amazing this can actually exist."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Comparing TOI-6713.01 to Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io, Kane described it as "Io on steroids" because of its constant volcanic eruptions. The planet's surface appears glowing and red-hot due to the volcanic activities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's been forced into a situation where it's constantly exploding with volcanoes. At optical wavelengths you would be able to see a glowing, red-hot planet with a molten lava surface," Kane added.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Data gathered by&nbsp;TESS</strong></h2>

<p>The discovery of TOI-6713.01 was made possible through data gathered by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). It studied the planet's host star HD 104067. While this star was previously known to host one giant planet and a rocky world, the study revealed the existence of another rocky planet in its orbit.</p>

<p>Researchers proposed that TOI-6713.01's volcanic activity may be driven by gravitational interactions with its parent body, similar to Io's relationship with Jupiter and its moons.</p>

<p>Notably, Jupiter's moon Io is volcanically active primarily due to tidal heating generated by its interactions with Jupiter and its neighbouring moons Europa and Ganymede.</p>

<p>The gravitational pull from Jupiter and its moons causes Io to experience tidal forces, which flex and distort its interior. This constant flexing generates immense heat within Io's interior that leads to the melting of its rock and the formation of magma chambers.</p>

<p>This tidal heating effect, induced by gravitational forces, could explain the extreme volcanic behaviour observed on this new planet's surface.</p>

Notably, Jupiter's moon Io is volcanically active primarily due to tidal heating generated by its interactions with Jupiter and its neighbouring moons Europa and Ganymede. Watch | New infectious diseases on the rise × The gravitational pull from Jupiter and its moons causes Io to experience tidal forces, which flex and distort its interior. This constant flexing generates immense heat within Io's interior that leads to the melting of its rock and the formation of magma chambers. This tidal heating effect, induced by gravitational forces, could explain the extreme volcanic behaviour observed on this new planet's surface. (With inputs from agencies)

5 Most Famous Parshuram Temples In India


1. Parshuram Temple, Chiplun, Maharashtra


Situated on the banks of the river Vashishthi in Chiplun, this temple dedicated to the sixth avatar of Vishnu is one of the most prominent Parshuram temples in India.

The Parshuram Temple in Rajasthan is situated near the town of Sirohi amid the scenic Aravalli Range.

This temple, located in Thiruvallam near Thiruvananthapuram, is dedicated to Lord Parshuram. It is believed that Parshuram conducted a yajna (sacrificial ritual) at this site.

The temple is located in Nahan in the Sirmaur District of Himachal Pradesh. There are a number of temples in the town that can be visited by tourists.

5. Shree Parashurama Kunda Temple, Arunachal Pradesh

Parshuram Kund, established in 1970, rests on the Brahmaputra plateau along the lower Lohit River in Arunachal Pradesh's Lohit district.

<p>Atrocities after an intense fighting in Sudan that broke out in mid-April last year led to the killing of thousands of people. Now over a year later, witnesses are recalling the harrowing scenes of children being "piled up and shot" by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), an independent military force in armed conflict with the Sudan military, as the innocent civilians attempted to escape the ethnic violence in Darfur.</p>

<p>The testimonies were revealed in the 218-page report titled - “The Massalit Will Not Come Home.”</p>

<p>The report pointed out that the atrocities were carried out by RSF in collaboration with their allied mainly Arab militias, including the Third-Front Tamazuj. They targeted the Massalit neighbourhoods of El Geneina in "relentless waves of attacks" from April 2023 to June 2023.</p>

<p>The findings were on the basis of interviews conducted with 221 people, including 174 residents of El Geneina and surrounding villages. The abuses took place when they were trying to flee to Chad. HRW researchers also analysed&nbsp;videos, photos, and satellite imagery.</p>

Piled up, shot, thrown into river: Witnesses reveal gruesome details of alleged ethnic cleansing in Darfur

Individuals with an allergy to okra should be cautious. Consumption of okra water may trigger adverse reactions such as itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

Due to its fructan content, excessive consumption of okra water may lead to digestive discomforts, such as bloating, gas, or diarrhoea.

Those prone to kidney stones should exercise caution when drinking okra water. Its oxalate content may contribute to the formation of stones.

Okra, like many other vegetables, may contain pesticide residues if not properly washed. It can pose health risks, especially if ingested regularly over time.

5. Interference with Diabetes Medications

While some claim that okra water can help regulate blood sugar levels, individuals should know that it may interact with diabetes medications.

<p>Scientists from Harvard University, in collaboration with Google's machine learning experts, have meticulously reconstructed a wiring diagram of a minute section of the human brain,&nbsp;an incredibly complex and vital organ that serves as the command centre for the nervous system.</p>

<p>This groundbreaking endeavour has revealed new details of the structure that is comprised of billions of neurons to transmit information through electrical and chemical signals.</p>

<p>The study reportedly focused on a minuscule cubic millimetre of healthy brain tissue extracted from the cortex of a 45-year-old woman undergoing surgery for epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent seizures, which are sudden, brief changes in the brain's electrical activity.</p>

<p>Despite the small size of the tissue, it was a monumental task to map out its wiring diagram for neural circuitry, cellular connections, and vascular support.&nbsp;Using electron microscope images of over 5,000 tissue slices, the researchers unveiled a staggering 57,000 individual cells, 23 centimetres of blood vessels, and&nbsp;150 million neural connections.&nbsp;</p>
