Covid news – live: Cases soar again in India as doctors warn of ‘new symptom’
A new coronavirus strain dubbed Arcturus appears to be driving a surge in Covid-19 cases in India, prompting the country to resume vaccine production and sparking fears it could lead to a rise in cases in the UK and elsewhere.
India on Friday recorded 11,109 new Covid infections, the biggest jump in almost a year. The country’s active case count is now up to 49,662.
The XBB.1.16 strain, a sub-variant of Omicron, has been found in 22 countries, including Singapore, Australia, the UK and the US. Research indicates Arcturus could be one 1.2 times more infectious than the last major sub-variant, making it likely to become the dominant strain.
The spread of the strain, first detected in late January in India, is worrying experts, as it seems to exhibit unique symptoms in children, one of which is conjunctivitis.
The symptoms of the variant include high fever, cough, and “itchy” conjunctivitis or pinkeye, according to Vipin Vashishtha, a paediatrician and former head of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Immunisation.
COVID-19 and Influenza Activity
April 2, 2023 to April 8, 2023
These images provide a high-level assessment of respiratory virus activity in Ontario. Provincial percent positivity can be used to provide an estimate of the intensity of circulating viruses in the province. Percent positivity for the most recent week is used to assign influenza and COVID-19 to either a low, moderate, high or very high category. Weekly indicator change was determined by considering a combination of indicators (see Technical Notes). For further details, please refer to the Respiratory Virus Overview in Ontario report.
Hello _ I am doing an administrative (not clinical) service review of the London based Adult Eating Disorder service in London, Ontario. I have found good evidence based literature coming from the UK and Ireland but not from Canada at this point. I am very interested in your thoughts regarding the above question. I am also working on a tight time line so would appreciate your response by March 26th if possible _ thank you in advance for your kind attention to this request.

I am writing a proposal on Managing TESL Innovations in Colleges/Higher Education in Ontario. I need some research that can provide me introductory information on changes/reforms/innovations in ESL curriculum, teaching approaches, resources, assessment etc. I need to look into how innovations in ESL are adopted, implemented and institutionalized in Ontario higher education or colleges.
For anyone attempting to find a job as a petroleum engineer (whether it be a reservoir engineer, drilling engineer, etc.) in Ontario, Canada... is it recommended that they acquire a P.Eng designation?
In Ontario, language teachers from all grades should prepare students for global citizenship. However, research has shown that for reasons such as lack of training, resources, leadership, etc., global citizenship education is not happening in the French as a Second Language classroom. How can we help teachers realize they should promote the “ethos of global citizenship [built over] a set of moral principles and codes of conduct that are global in scope” (Pike, 2008, p. 38), in order to prepare learners to live and work in the 21st century?
Jane, I am the Program Coordinator for Big Data Analytics Post Graduate Certificate at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario. This project would be of interest to our students.

Hello,
I am looking for Standards discharges of treated wastewater into the receiving environment in the Ontario Region, Canada.
I tried several websites, but without success.
Standars discharges for (TSS, COD, BOD, TN, TP).
Thank you for your help.
I am a student who is taking courses in the Bachelor of Education program in Ontario, Canada.
I have been hearing that Ph.D. really has no relation to teaching itself because there are usually two kinds of people: people who has obtained Ph.D. still not great at teaching vs people who do not have Ph.D. but exvels in teaching.
OK, that is fine.
Aside from this, I have also been reviewing the political status of positions in the field of Education.
From the teachers to the Vice-Principal and to the Principal. My research on learning about this continued to the Ministry of Education.
....so here is my question:
If I obtain Ph.D. in the field of Education and apply to get a teaching job, am I capable of securing a higher position compared to other colleague teachers who were accepted without the Ph.D.?
How do you get to work in the Ministry of Education instead of actually end-up teaching in the public schools?
If you end up working in the Ministry, do you not get the retirement benefits that the teachers get from the public schools?

We are trying to reverse transcribe large RNAs that have substantial secondary and tertiary structure. We don't get much product with standard reverse transcriptases. The thermostable reverse transcriptases don't appear to perform any better, possibly because the higher temperatures promote chemical or RNase-mediated RNA hydrolysis. So heat does not appear to be an option to reduce secondary structure. Have any ResearchGate members had success reverse transcribing large RNAs with significant secondary/tertiary structure? Can you supplement buffers with nucleic acid denaturing agents and retain high fidelity reverse transcription? Is there a method for preparing reverse transcriptase buffers free of contaminating nucleases? Any help/insight you can provide to answers these questions would be greatly appreciated.

Is this original work...or building from existing tools and processes?
Over the last two decades, the Ontario Geological Survey has drilled >300 continuously-cored boreholes through the entire Quaternary sediment succession and into underlying bedrock in southern Ontario. Recently, we have started to encounter multiple intervals that show an abundance of trace fossils.
I have very limited experience with ichnofacies analysis, and a scan of literature on (glacio)lacustrine trace fossils revealed very few results. There is only one report outlining some southern Ontario trace fossils and all of these examples are from postglacial lakes (<15 ka). The recent drilling investigations have encountered traces in postglacial, early-mid Wisconsin, and Illinoian glaciolacustrine and lacustrine sediments. I've attached a few photos as examples. I'm looking for help, or these could potentially form the basis for a nice little project for someone

We have been trying to extend soybean in northern Bangladesh in Kharif II (Avg. Temp 30-35°C) and Rabi (Avg. Temp 18-25°C) seasons for several years. We are getting fluctuating yields often due to variations in environmental and climatic factors. We need to choose a suitable variety of soybean. We have come to know that crop heat unit (CHU) indexing system is used in temperate countries like Canada to select suitable crop varieties for a region. We are trying to find out whether such a system can be used in the subcontinent.
We would like to know:
· Can this system be appropriately adapted for tropical and subtropical countries?
· Is such a system in use India or any other country of Southeast Asia?
· Can this system be used to select crop varieties to avoid heat damage of excessively hot periods of summer?
· In case this system is used in this region, what are crop heat unit (CHU) values for different soybean varieties?
I am working on the changing distributions of several crayfish species, and I need to be able to generate both local maps (of the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario, for example) as well as more general maps (of all of Ontario, Canada, and North America). The local maps should include detailed features such as river systems, and I should be able to input data and plot include various locations where the species are found, of course, as distribution dots on the maps. I am interested in your suggestions about which types of map-generating software would be best overall (in terms of quality of results, ease of use, affordability, availability, and so on). Thank you.

and I am looking for ways to improve and serve the community more.
As a student of Ph.D. in Education - Learning, Inst & Innovation, I hope to incorporate some of the knowledge gained into the non-profit.
Therefore, I am researching the following question: How does a non-profit charitable organization reach out to the community and partner with other non-profits to bring about assistance in natural disasters, aide hungry children, provide mental help and assistance, assist the disabled, and other ways of helping to contribute to the welfare of others?
Best regards,
