CULTURAL QA 05-2023-30A BY Mr G AND EDITED BY KR IRS 30523 NB I don’t know what kind of senseless messages he has inside asking all of us to go out and enquire? KR IRS 30523
Q1 What classifies a fruit from a vegetable? G My note- A good explanation. KR Certified by the deponent G after the “Nth” repeat. Kindly ask your vendor whether it is a fruit or vegetable tomato fruit or veg etc when you go for the shopping. Q2 How many times can you filter water? G My note-*** ROS also deploys carbon and paper filters. Earlier ROS systems used to employ additional filter if the TDS value does not come with in tolerance. Though many manufacturers used to state, a second system can be added to reduce the TDS Value, probably due to cost filters are added. I have got old system also with added filters. Another point is in course of time bore well water in Tamilnadu becomes less hard on continuous taking out. My experience and can be a general statement. KR Another certified statement sirs. Filtering is a process made by you or by a machine. Do you daily worry how many times I filtered or added that and this etc? If kidney fails doctor will ask us to take only water by drops. Q3 Why is an apple called a false fruit? G In conclusion, an apple is called a false fruit because it is a modified fruit that includes other plant tissues, such as the receptacle and stem. This makes it different from a true fruit, which is solely derived from the ovary of a flower. However, this does not diminish the nutritional value or delicious taste of an apple, which remains a popular and healthy fruit enjoyed by people all over the world. My note- Probably not seen an apple plant other than in pictures, this is a new information to me. Probably to many of my friends also. Those climbed Sarvanja peetam and supporting them are exceptions please. KR Now every one can understand the deficiency of G ; for him all of you are people who had seen only in the picture; and I am the sarvanja peetam; whereas he is the lover boy of that haggard only and sure he is right about him; in which case who are all on the sarvanja peetaam?. II The baby who has not seen anything till 79, and only on Pictures but had roamed all over, was reading to kill others perhaps; and after retirement that too after nearly 2 decades, gores to QUORA school, to learn everything fresh. Let him do III People who wishes know the distinction of plant, fruit, seed ovary and outside etc can go through the pages all; and those wanted to read what G wrote about, may read p15 to17 of the word doc pasted here. Everything is fully explained and that is authentic; also one can see, how the reels and real differ. No one gave a name as false fruit except the author. Evolution is explained. Even in the coming days each will become aa subject to fill, turning the plates. This may help universally to question and identify. Q5 Is it healthy to nap after eating? G My note- Undal ksheenam thendikkum Undu (Begger also has tiredness after a meal) G Conclusion In conclusion, napping after eating can have both positive and negative effects on our health. While it can aid digestion, promote relaxation, boost energy levels, and improve mood, it can also lead to weight gain, cause indigestion, disrupt sleep, and decrease productivity. If you enjoy napping after eating, it is important to do so in moderation and be mindful of the timing and duration of the nap. As with any lifestyle habit, it is important to listen to your body and consume it in a way that works best for you. *KR Napping* KR This is recognised research. There is No positive effects written anywhere, where 1 million had been tested to attain this result. It was also found that only a group sleep as NAPPING. Closing the eyes, relaxing the muscles and back as a short term (say 10 minutes) are not napping. They are connected to a particular Gene. And siesta is now being withdrawn in Spain. USA is now changing the method of relaxation also. In evitably fallen people must have a nap, like getting up at 3,4 % AM; aged; and affected by certain body and heart condtions; there is no other phrases or positive or negative finding were given. People who do not Nap (like me), also gain weight. Now the paper: “”How often a person takes daytime naps, if at all, is partly regulated by their *genes*, according to new research led by investigators at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and published in Nature Communications <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.nature.com_articles_s41467-2D020-2D20585-2D3&d=DwMFAw&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=DnS34uF8FMox2vVhGrzlX28MWrSDyn-iGaJF58zdbu4&m=NtgZQI6YDr-M3n_xP3idU9W44YuN_npB3H05rTY_oLk&s=YGhxATA2JfuuKrhf5KhsVolq8FgZdqqVI0SlVoR0CD0&e=> . In this study, the largest of its kind ever conducted, the MGH team collaborated with colleagues at the University of Murcia in Spain and several other institutions to identify dozens of gene regions that govern the tendency to take naps during the day. They also uncovered preliminary evidence linking napping habits to cardiometabolic health. “Napping is somewhat controversial,” says Hassan Saeed Dashti of the MGH Center for Genomic Medicine, co-lead author of the report with Iyas Daghlas, a medical student at Harvard Medical School (HMS). Dashti notes that some countries where daytime naps have long been part of the culture (such as Spain*) now discourage the habit*. Meanwhile, some companies in the United States now promote napping as a way to boost productivity. “It was important to try to disentangle the biological pathways that contribute to why we nap,” says Dashti. Previously, co-senior author Richa Saxena, principal investigator at the Saxena Lab at MGH, and her colleagues used massive databases of genetic and lifestyle information to study other aspects of sleep. Notably, the team has identified genes associated with sleep duration, insomnia, and the tendency to be an early riser or “night owl.” To gain a better understanding of the genetics of napping, Saxena’s team and co-senior author Marta Garaulet of the department of physiology at the University of Murcia, performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS), which involves rapid scanning of complete sets of DNA, or genomes, of a large number of people. The goal of a GWAS is to identify genetic variations that are associated with a specific disease or, in this case, habit. For this study, the MGH researchers and their colleagues used data from the UK Biobank, which includes genetic information from 452,633 people. All participants were asked whether they nap during the day “never/rarely,” “sometimes” or “usually*.” The GWAS identified 123 regions in the human genome that are associated with daytime napping*. A subset of participants wore activity monitors called accelerometers, which provide data about *daytime sedentary behavior, which can be an indicator of napping*. This objective data indicated that the self-reports about napping were accurate. “That gave an extra layer of confidence that what we found is real and not an artifact,” says Dashti. Several other features of the study bolster its results. For example, the researchers independently replicated their findings in an analysis of the genomes of 541,333 people collected by 23andMe, the consumer genetic-testing company. Also, a significant number of the genes near or at regions identified by the GWAS are already known to play a role in sleep. *One example is KSR2, a gene that the MGH team and collaborators had previously found plays a role in sleep regulation*. Digging deeper into the data, the team identified at least three potential mechanisms that promote napping: - Sleep propensity: Some people need more shut-eye than others. - Disrupted sleep: A daytime nap can help make up for poor quality slumber the night before. - Early morning awakening: People who rise early may “catch up” on sleep with a nap. “This tells us that daytime napping is biologically driven and not just an environmental or behavioral choice,” says Dashti. Study identifies gene regions associated with sleep duration <https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/03/76-more-gene-regions-found-associated-with-sleep-duration/> Both too much and too little shut-eye can be associated with health problems Some of these subtypes were linked to cardiometabolic health concerns, such as large waist circumference and elevated blood pressure, though more research on those associations is needed. Saxena is the Phyllis and Jerome Lyle Rappaport MGH Research Scholar at the Center for Genomic Medicine and an associate professor of anesthesia at HMS. *The work was supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, MGH Research Scholar Fund, Spanish Government of Investigation, Development and Innovation, the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia through the Seneca Foundation, Academy of Finland, Instrumentarium Science Foundation, Yrjö Jahnsson Foundation, and Medical Research Council.”””* Compiled and posted by R.
