I knew my writing students were using AI. Their confessions led to a powerful teaching moment | Micah Nathan
The problem wasn’t just the perfectly polished, yet mediocre prose. It’s what’s lost when we surrender the struggle to translate thought into words I have been teaching fiction writing at MIT since 2017. Many of my students last wrote fiction in middle school, and very few have experienced a proper workshop, so at the start of every semester I offer these directions for writer and reader alike: Read the story at least twice. Mark what works and what doesn’t – underline great sentences, flag clunky syntax, gaps in logic and unrealistic dialogue. Ask yourself: does the story work? Why or why not? What could improve it? Answer in a signed letter to the author, attached to their story. Give your honest opinions. Remember that an effective peer review demands close reading of the text accompanied by a boldness of spirit. Continue reading...

No double standards: Deputy IGP defends different bail decisions in recent fatal crash probes
GEORGE TOWN, May 10 — Police have rejected allegations of practising double standards in taking action over two recent fatal accident cases. Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the allegations were unfounded as every action taken is based on evidence, legal considerations and the circumstances of each case. “For example, the car driver is already 72 years old, suffers from various illnesses and is undergoing dialysis treatment. If we remand him and place him in lock-up, how is he supposed to receive treatment? That is why we granted bail. “But if he is involved in a murder case, that is a different matter,” he told a press conference after officiating at the Community Crime Prevention Carnival and the launch of the Taman Angkat Amanita for the Penang contingent at the Universiti Sains Malaysia parade ground here today. However, Ayob Khan said the situation differed from another accident case involving a van driver who fatally struck a child. “The van driver is healthy and 60 years old. If we can remand, we remand. That is why police need to exercise discretion. We are not practising double standards or bias,” he said. Ayob Khan said although the elderly suspect was not remanded, investigations are still ongoing, stressing that there would be no compromise against anyone found guilty. Previously, disputes arose on social media over action taken in two fatal accident cases involving a van driver accused of reckless driving that caused the death of a Year Two pupil, and a Proton X70 driver who rammed into a motorcyclist causing death but was released on police bail due to health reasons. — Bernama

Gas supply suspended in Karachi after pipeline damaged in Red Line construction
KARACHI: Gas supply was disrupted in major parts of the city on Saturday evening after the Red Line construction work damaged a high-pressure gas pipeline near Jail Chowrangi. A spokesperson for the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) said that a12-inch diameter high-pressure pipeline was hit during excavation for the bus rapid transit (BRT) project. The spokesperson said as a result the gas supply to Saddar, Garden, Jamshed Road, PIB Colony, Lyari, Lines Area and adjacent localities was immediately suspended. She said that the SSGC teams reached the site and cordoned off the damaged section of the supply line with safety barriers to prevent further risk. Residents in affected areas reported complete disconnection of gas at 7pm, adversely impacting mainly households, who relied on piped gas during peak cooking hours in the evening. The spokesperson said that repair work was being carried out on an emergency basis. “Gas supply will be restored gradually once repair work is completed,” she added. The spokesperson that the repair work was expected to be completed early Sunday morning and supply would be phased back as repaired were completed. The BRT construction corridor in Karachi has seen multiple utility line strikes in recent months as underground infrastructure intersects with ongoing roadworks. Published in Dawn, May 10th, 2026

Gwadar Port gains strategic weight amid Hormuz crisis
GWADAR: Amid rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic importance of Gwadar Port has significantly increased due to its shorter access routes to Iran and Central Asia, along with investor-friendly incentives such as tax exemptions, free storage facilities, and modern infrastructure. This was stated by Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) Chairman Noorul Haq Baloch during a meeting with members of the All Pakistan Shipping Association (APSA) in Karachi. He said the port is increasingly being viewed as a safe alternative trade gateway for the region. He said Gwadar has the potential to become the future hub of regional trade and logistics because of its low operational costs, modern facilities, and shorter trade routes. He added that the Gabd-Rimdan border route has emerged as an effective multi-modal corridor for promoting trade with Iran and Central Asia. Mr Baloch briefed the APSA members on the prevailing regional situation, the strategic significance of Gwadar Port, and issues related to transit and transshipment operations. He stated that Gwadar Port is steadily evolving into a major centre for regional trade and logistics, with its importance increasing day by day. He noted that the port’s approach channel, measuring approximately 4.5km, is the shortest among the country’s ports. He said that a trade route exists from Gwadar to Zahedan and onwards to Central Asia. Recalling developments from 2015, he said the first container convoy from China successfully reached Gwadar Port through the Balochistan route, demonstrating Gwadar’s full potential to connect China with Central Asia. Referring to tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, Mr Baloch said Gwadar could serve as a secure and alternative trade route in the event of war or sanctions. He added that access from Gwadar to eastern regions of Iran and Central Asia is several hundred kilometres shorter than routes from other Pakistani cities, significantly reducing logistics costs and transportation time. He said investors and industrialists operating in the Gwadar Free Zone are being offered tax exemptions and special incentives, including duty-free import of machinery and equipment. Mr Baloch said that import and export cargo at Gwadar Port is provided with up to 30 days of free storage, unlike other ports where storage charges apply. Additional free storage facilities are available at cargo sheds, container yards, and repair sheds operated under the Gwadar Port Authority to further facilitate investors. According to him, these facilities are connected through a modern six-lane expressway linking the port and free zone to the coastal highway. Mr Baloch urged shipping companies and traders to shift their operations towards Gwadar Port. He also revealed that a trade delegation from Iran is expected to visit Gwadar soon. He said that Gwadar Port, owing to its low operational rates, modern infrastructure and strategic location, possesses strong potential to emerge as a major trade corridor for Pakistan’s economy. Participants at the meeting expressed interest in the facilities available at Gwadar Port, particularly regarding transit trade with Iran. Published in Dawn, May 10th, 2026

A year ago today: Normality returns as nuclear-armed neighbours step back from the brink
The week of May 6 - May 10 marks the first anniversary of the five-day military conflict between Pakistan and India. The conflict was sparked by the April 22 Pahalgam attack on tourists in India-occupied Kashmir, which New Delhi, without evidence, linked to Pakistan. In a dangerous escalation, New Delhi launched deadly air strikes in Punjab and Azad Kashmir on May 7. Pakistan retaliated by downing five Indian planes in air-to-air combat, later raising the tally to seven . Following tit-for-tat strikes on each other’s airbases, and the launch of Pakistan Army’s Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, both sides agreed to a ceasefire on May 10 after American intervention. The Pakistan Army named the period of conflict from April 22-May 10 “Marka-i-Haq”. Throughout the week, Dawn will be sharing daily headlines from the brief conflict when tensions between both countries reached a boiling point. Here’s a look at Dawn’s front page published on May 11, 2025.

Electric bike demand surges amid costly oil
KARACHI: Amid the ongoing Middle East conflict since Feb 28, Pakistan’s auto sector is witnessing fresh developments, with a leading tractor assembler exploring electric bike production and new vehicle models planned by Chery Master Pakistan and Pak Suzuki Motor Company Ltd. In a stock filing, Millat Tractors Ltd (MTL), responding to market reports about its entry into the electric bike segment, said one of its group companies was evaluating the feasibility of EV bike production in Pakistan. It said the matter remained at a preliminary stage. Sharp increases in petrol prices have boosted demand for electric scooters and bikes, leading to market shortages and the emergence of “on money” on some models. Social media reports claimed EV bike assemblers had received an overwhelming response from consumers, with some companies reportedly selling more than 15,000 units in April, while others sold around 5,000 units. Assemblers eye expansion as shortages trigger premiums However, bike sector expert Mohammad Sabir Sheikh disputed these figures, saying over 30,000 electric bikes and scooters were sold nationwide during March and April. He said assemblers had opened more letters of credit in the past 15 to 20 days to import parts and accessories to meet rising demand. Short supplies had resulted in “on money” of Rs10,000 to Rs15,000 on some popular models, he added. Mr Sheikh said the situation could change if petrol prices returned to pre-conflict levels, but added that higher fuel prices had at least increased consumer awareness about electric bikes. Launch of hybrid, EV Chery Master Pakistan (CMP) is considering launching two to three new models for the local market, including the Tiggo 4 HEV, QQ BEV, and Tiggo V, reflecting Chery’s focus on hybrid, electric, and multi-purpose mobility solutions. CMP, introduced locally by Master Auto Engineering, part of the Master Group, signalled the possible introduction of new models after its participation in Auto China 2026. CMP Chief Executive Officer Samir Malik said Pakistan remained an important growth market for Chery’s advanced mobility technologies. He said the company was evaluating products suited to local driving conditions, consumer expectations and long-term mobility trends. At Auto China 2026, Chery showcased the QQ BEV, a compact electric vehicle offering a range of up to 410 km. The company positioned the model as an affordable urban mobility solution, particularly suitable for congested cities such as Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Chery Master Pakistan has already introduced a locally assembled plug-in hybrid SUV lineup, including the Tiggo 9 PHEV, Tiggo 8 PHEV and Tiggo 7 PHEV. Fronx prices Pak Suzuki Motor Company Ltd has recently announced introductory prices for its newly launched Suzuki Fronx crossover utility vehicle variants. The Suzuki Fronx GL MT has been priced at Rs5.999 million, the GL 4AT at Rs6.099m, the GLX 6AT Hybrid (mono tone) at Rs6.299m and the GLX 6AT Hybrid (two tone) at Rs6.374m.

MoPH strengthens national capacity for healthcare-associated infection surveillance
The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) is working to strengthen national capacities in healthcare-associated infection surveillance and support the implementation of a unified national programme based on standardized criteria and scientific evidence. The Ministry said that strengthening surveillance systems is a key pillar of effective infection prevention and control programmes, as it enables healthcare institutions to detect risks at an early stage, monitor trends and key performance indicators, and implement targeted interventions that contribute to improving patient outcomes. In this context, the Ministry recently organized a national workshop on healthcare-associated infection surveillance, with the participation of around 100 healthcare professionals from governmental, semi-governmental, and private sectors, including infection prevention and control specialists, quality and patient safety leaders, as well as frontline representatives from nurses, physicians, microbiologists, and pharmacists working in hospitals, primary healthcare centers, and diagnostic and treatment facilities. The workshop reviewed the main components of the national surveillance programme and implementation roadmap, focusing on surveillance objectives and methodologies, standardized data collection tools, and strengthening the ability to analyze and use infection prevention and control indicators such as surgical site infections, device-associated infections, hand hygiene compliance, and exposure to blood and body fluids. It also highlighted evidence-based best practices for infection prevention, reinforcing the link between surveillance and the implementation of effective preventive measures. Experts from the Ministry of Public Health and Hamad Medical Corporation delivered comprehensive scientific sessions covering standardized surveillance definitions and methodologies, as well as approaches to data collection and reporting. The workshop also included interactive discussions, simulations, and practical exercises based on real-life scenarios, helping to enhance participants' ability to apply acquired knowledge in daily practice and bridge the gap between theory and practice. The organization of this national event reflects the growing commitment within the healthcare sector to reinforcing infection prevention and control practices, as well as the importance of collaboration and shared responsibility in supporting national healthcare quality initiatives. The Healthcare Quality Department at the Ministry of Public Health continues to organize specialized capacity-building workshops aimed at reaching a wider range of healthcare professionals and supporting them in advancing surveillance practices. These efforts contribute directly to building a safer and more sustainable healthcare system in the State of Qatar, where patient safety remains a top national priority. The Ministry stressed that healthcare-associated infection surveillance is not merely a reporting tool, but a fundamental pillar of patient safety, noting that strengthened surveillance systems significantly reduce infection burdens, improve quality of care, and ensure a safer healthcare environment for both patients and healthcare workers.

LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health Is Suffering, but Schools Are Poised to Help
Bullying. Isolation. Stress. Everyone experiences these on the journey from adolescence to adulthood, but new data on the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth shows the additional pressures they face increases their risk of suicide compared to their peers. The Trevor Project, a nonprofit focused on suicide prevention for LGBTQ+ youth, has released its most recent survey of 16,000 LGBTQ+ young people 13 to 24. Among the most concerning figures was one in 10 participants reporting that they had attempted suicide during the previous year. And more than one-third seriously considered suicide. Experts also tell EdSurge that the strain of mental health issues and unwelcoming school settings directly harm students’ ability to thrive in, or even attend, their classes. Despite the sobering results of the survey, the data also reveals solutions — including a role for schools. “One of the most important findings is that when adults, institutions, and communities become more affirming, the suicide risk of LGBTQ+ young people goes down,” Ronita Nath, the Trevor Project’s vice president of research, says. “Schools play a life-saving support by creating environments where LGBTQ+ young people feel safe, accepted and supported.” Feeling the Pressure With 2026 on track to be another record-breaking year for anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced at the state and federal levels, a vast majority of survey respondents said they felt stressed, anxious or unsafe due to the policies and the debates surrounding them. When those young people are caught in the crossfire of heated political debates, Nath says the negative rhetoric that trickles down has real consequences. Youth who reported experiencing victimization due to their gender identity or sexual orientation — like bullying, physical harm or exposure to conversion therapy — were three times as likely to attempt suicide as their peers. Those risks dropped among survey participants who said their school affirmed their identity. Support can look like adopting curriculum that counters anti-LGBTQ+ bias and increasing access to mental health services. Forty-four percent of survey participants said they couldn’t access the mental health services they needed. Some of the barriers to those services were tangible, like not being able to afford transportation to see a counselor. But many were not: they cited fear of their mental health problems not being taken seriously, not being understood by a mental healthcare provider, or past negative experiences that made young people hesitant to seek services again. Nath encouraged schools to offer gender and sexuality alliances (GSAs), ensure anti-harassment policies were in place and provide professional development for educators to help ease students’ discomfort. “We know [that] not only improves mental health and well-being for LGBTQ+ youth, but for all their peers,” she says. Strain on School Success Research shows that well-being, engagement and a sense of belonging go hand-in-hand with students’ ability to thrive in school, according to Megan Pacheco, executive director of Challenge Success. The group is a nonprofit focused on increasing student well-being, engagement and belonging that’s based in Stanford’s Graduate School of Education. The stress that gender-diverse students — including transgender, non-binary and gender-queer youth — experience can become an obstacle to their academic success. If they feel their identity is threatened or lack a sense of belonging, Pacheco says, they’re less likely to reach out for help. “It's going to affect their participation, how they show up in the classroom, and it's going to affect their well-being,” she says. Challenge Success’ large trove of survey data on the school experiences of middle and high school students reveals that students who identify as transgender, non-binary or gender diverse report more stress than their peers who identify as boys and girls, says Sarah Miles, director of research for Challenge Success. “Instead of two or three sources of stress — family pressure, or peer relationships, or social media — it is just all the above,” Miles says. “In order to be able to function, use your working memory, be present, be engaged … if you have all those things on board that you're worrying about, you're just not able to attend to school in the same way.” Among LGBTQ+ youth who are in school, about 85 percent said they had at least one adult at school who is affirming of their identity, according to the Trevor Project data. More than half of respondents said school was an affirming place, second to online spaces. Matthew Rice, who chairs the science department at a New Jersey high school, tells EdSurge that students don’t judge safety by a school’s mission statement — they judge it by how adults respond to situations like harassing comments made in the hallway, classroom jokes, pronoun use and whether discipline is applied consistently among varying groups of students. Rice has published research on the experiences of transgender and nonbinary educators, but the overall lessons gleaned from his work apply to students as well. “Students notice who is allowed to exist authentically in schools,” Rice said via email. “Representation is not symbolic: It changes students’ perception of what futures are possible and who belongs in intellectual spaces. For many students, the first openly LGBTQ+ adult they meet is an adult at school.” When it comes to supporting gender-diverse students, Miles of Challenge Success says she wants to dispel the belief that helping them thrive is a zero-sum game. “I think there's sometimes a misconception that if we give these students support, then other students aren't getting support,” she says. “What's really important is that, by giving students who identify as gender diverse support, everyone benefits, because all students then feel safe to show up — whatever their identities.”

Earnings bonanza that no one saw coming fuels stocks’ surge
The war in Iran was supposed to derail the rally in US stocks and weigh on company outlooks. Instead a blowout earnings season is providing fresh fodder for Wall Street bulls. Corporate America has outstripped expectations by the widest margin outside the Covid-19 era since at least 2013, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data. First-quarter profits at S&P 500 companies have surged 27% so far, more than double the roughly 12% analysts had penciled in. The last time year-on-year earnings grew at that pace outside of recoveries from major shocks was over two decades ago, in 2004. “I don’t think I remember a time that sell-side consensus missed actual earnings number by so much,” said Charles-Henry Monchau, chief investment officer at Banque Syz & Co SA. He began the year positioned for international markets to outperform, but the war and AI boom prompted him to tactically shift back toward US stocks, noting that regions such as China and Europe “might not be the winners of this war.” It’s been a wake-up call for Wall Street as stocks race from record to record, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both closed at all-time highs on Friday. Economic resilience has silenced fears of a slowdown in global growth, while concerns that massive investments in hyperscalers and adjacent industries wouldn’t translate into tangible profit growth appear equally overdone. Market forecasters have struggled to keep up. Minneapolis-based US Bank started the year forecasting that S&P 500 earnings would hit $305 in 2026. The first quarter has been so strong that the firm will need to raise its estimates for the year and probably its year-end S&P 500 target, according to Robert Haworth, senior investment strategy director at the bank’s wealth management arm. “We’re clearly low,” he said. This earnings season is shaping up to be all the more remarkable as beats have turned out to be as impressive in scope as they have been in size, with about 85% of companies surpassing analyst forecasts. That amounts to the best hit rate in five years, according to Societe Generale strategists. “The market starts to catch up with future earnings power in AI-related companies,” said Wendy Soong, a BI equity strategy analyst. “Though the Iran war created supply chain interruption, it also attracted appeal to invest in the US as risk diversification.” Unsurprisingly, the bulk of the growth in S&P 500 earnings continues to come from the technology behemoths viewed as the major beneficiaries of artificial intelligence development. The so-called Magnificent Seven firms — Nvidia Corp, Microsoft Corp, Alphabet Inc, Amazon.com Inc, Meta Platforms Inc, Apple Inc and Tesla Inc — are expected to post a 57% jump in profits in the first quarter, BI-compiled data show. For the rest of the S&P 500, profits are expected to climb 17% in the January to March period. “I can’t think of a time when you’ve had this long of a string of earnings growth,” said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at Globalt Investments LLC. He expects the current rally to be sustained as quarterly earnings growth continues in the double digits for 2026. AI is “going to drive growth for a while.” But the power with which the upbeat atmosphere is sweeping through Corporate America has also started to capture sectors that investors have treated with caution on tariff worries and subdued consumer sentiment. Profits for the S&P’s “other 493” firms — which are on track for their eighth-straight quarterly increase — are projected to accelerate. All eleven sectors posted positive growth for the first time in four years, Deutsche Bank strategists highlighted in a recent note. They raised their 2026 earnings-per-share forecast by nearly 7% to $342. Even laggards like consumer cyclicals, telecommunications and healthcare have staged a return to growth. “Sure, the oil price outlook and geopolitical tensions do matter for rates and FX markets,” said Max Kettner, HSBC’s chief multi-asset strategist. “But for equities – especially the US large-cap universe – and by extension credit and the broader risk-asset spectrum too, what really matters is broader activity and the earnings backdrop.” Yet, rock-solid earnings haven’t erased all concerns — the Iran conflict continues to drive swings in energy prices and the S&P 500’s just over 16% rally from a March low has developed a momentum of its own. The stocks benchmark has hovered near overbought levels since mid-April, a technical signal that a pullback may be imminent. The recent run on semiconductor stocks is also concerning, while hedge funds have turned the most underweight North America stocks relative to a gauge of global equities that they’ve ever been, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. To keep the rally running, breadth needs to keep expanding and US shoppers will need to stop feeling the pinch, according to John Cunnison, chief investment officer at Baker Boyer Bank. “To maintain this level of earnings growth, consumer spending and sentiment will need to improve from here to help support US stocks at records in the coming months,” Cunnison said. “With consumer confidence hovering at record lows, this prosperity needs to be shared by the average consumer — not just by wealthy individuals — and translate into profit growth well beyond technology.”

Los retos urgentes: especialistas PUCP advierten sobre los desafíos pendientes en seguridad ciudadana
En el Perú, la inseguridad se ha convertido en una experiencia cotidiana. Extorsiones , asesinatos por encargo, robo de celulares y economías ilegales configuran un escenario donde el Estado parece llegar siempre tarde. A ello se suma una violencia criminal que se desplaza por corredores regionales, muta rápidamente y encuentra nuevas formas de operar gracias a la precariedad institucional, la corrupción y el avance tecnológico. Mientras tanto, el debate político suele reducir el problema de la seguridad ciudadana a promesas de “mano dura”, más cárceles o estados de emergencia que han demostrado ser insuficientes. Para el Mag. Noam López, docente de la Sección Ciencia Política de la PUCP, el país enfrenta además un problema estructural: la falta de continuidad en las políticas de seguridad. “Tenemos una alta volatilidad en el sector Interior. Cada tres meses hemos tenido cambios de ministros y eso hace que los proyectos duren muy poco a nivel sectorial”, sostiene. A ello se suma una lógica reactiva que prioriza el impacto mediático antes que las soluciones sostenibles. “Cuando ocurre un hecho delictivo muy grave recién se investiga, recién se moviliza el ministerio y recién aparece una respuesta política. Las medidas suelen venir desde un enfoque muy punitivo y militarizante”, advierte. La investigadora del IDEHPUCP Erika Solis coincide en que el país ha retrocedido en prevención y diagnóstico técnico. “Seguimos haciendo lo mismo desde hace más de quince años: una mirada populista sobre seguridad, basada en percepciones y reacciones, pero no en evidencia”, afirma. En plena campaña electoral, varios planes de gobierno insistieron en propuestas de megapenales al estilo del Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (Cecot) salvadoreño, endurecimiento de penas y mayor presencia militar. Para Solis, estas medidas apelan al miedo ciudadano, pero no solucionan el problema de fondo. “El castigo llena un espacio emocional de rabia y miedo, pero eso no significa que reduzca realmente la criminalidad”, sostiene. Frente a ello, ambos especialistas plantean una ruta distinta: menos espectáculo político y más capacidad estatal. Una agenda que combine prevención, inteligencia, uso estratégico de datos y reformas profundas que permitan entender el crimen como un fenómeno social complejo y no solo como un asunto policial. Reforma policial: una institución atrapada en la precariedad Para el especialista PUCP Noam López, la transformación de la Policía Nacional se debe dar en tres niveles: formación, gestión de recursos e integridad institucional. Hablar de seguridad en el Perú implica, inevitablemente, hablar de la Policía Nacional. Pero para Noam López, la discusión pública suele quedarse en consignas vacías. “Todos hablan de reforma policial, pero nadie dice cómo”, señala. El especialista propone una transformación en tres niveles: formación, gestión de recursos e integridad institucional. En el primero, cuestiona las condiciones en las que se forman miles de efectivos. “Las escuelas policiales tienen carencias en infraestructura, equipamiento y formación práctica. Los policías pasan mucho tiempo sentados en aulas y muy poco entrenando intervenciones reales”, explica. El segundo problema es la administración de recursos. López describe comisarías sin patrulleros, sin radios y policías utilizando sus recursos propios. “No es posible que haya comisarías en el Perú donde los policías usan sus propios celulares, compran su propia munición o se comunican por WhatsApp porque no tienen radios. Ahí uno se pregunta dónde termina realmente el presupuesto. Hay presupuesto, pero existe una pésima gestión”, cuestiona. Esta situación conecta con uno de los hallazgos de su reciente artículo académico “ Informal Institutions in Policing: Unwritten Rules in the National Police of Peru” , publicado en la revista Police Practice and Research . Allí, López identifica la existencia de reglas informales dentro de la Policía Nacional, entre ellas “vivir en precariedad”, una lógica cotidiana en la que la escasez de recursos y la improvisación terminan normalizándose dentro de la institución. La precariedad alcanza incluso a las áreas preventivas. Según explica, las unidades de Policía comunitaria sobreviven gracias a rifas y donaciones vecinales para financiar actividades con jóvenes y barrios vulnerables. “Es el servicio más descuidado de toda la Policía Nacional”, sostiene. El tercer eje es la corrupción y la cultura institucional. Para López, una Policía cerrada y opaca dificulta cualquier posibilidad de control ciudadano. “Hay que abrir la data policial, transparentar compras públicas y procesos de ascenso. Cuando una institución se cierra más, ocurre todo lo contrario a lo que debería pasar”, afirma. La seguridad también debe descentralizarse Otro de los grandes problemas, advierte López, es que el país sigue pensando la seguridad desde Lima. Aunque la criminalidad avanza en regiones amazónicas, ciudades intermedias y corredores ilegales vinculados a minería, narcotráfico o contrabando, las decisiones continúan excesivamente centralizadas. “Hoy no existe una verdadera descentralización de la toma de decisiones en seguridad y eso impide responder a las realidades de cada territorio”, sostiene. Actualmente, los gobiernos regionales ni siquiera tienen competencias claras en seguridad ciudadana dentro de su ley orgánica. En muchos casos, el tema termina absorbido por oficinas de gestión de riesgos y desastres, áreas diseñadas para emergencias naturales y no para enfrentar fenómenos criminales complejos. No se puede patrullar la Amazonía con la misma lógica que Lima: los equipos, estrategias y capacidades tienen que adaptarse a las necesidades específicas de cada zona”. Mag. Noam López Docente de la Sección de Ciencia Política PUCP “No es posible que en 2026 los gobiernos regionales no tengan una gerencia especializada en seguridad ciudadana”, afirma López. El resultado es un aparato estatal desarticulado y sin capacidad técnica territorial. Mientras regiones como La Libertad, Madre de Dios o Loreto enfrentan economías ilegales cada vez más sofisticadas, muchos equipos regionales apenas cuentan con uno o dos funcionarios dedicados al tema. Para López, descentralizar implica crear observatorios regionales, producir diagnósticos propios y desarrollar inversión pública estratégica según las necesidades de cada territorio. “No se puede patrullar la Amazonía con la misma lógica que Lima: los equipos, estrategias y capacidades tienen que adaptarse a las necesidades específicas de cada zona”, explica. Sin data no hay prevención en seguridad ciudadana Uno de los consensos entre ambos especialistas es que el Perú enfrenta la criminalidad con información insuficiente y diagnósticos fragmentados. “La seguridad se sigue manejando por percepciones más que por evidencia”, resume Erika Solis. Además, cuestiona que el país no cuente con mecanismos para conocer cuántas personas son víctimas de delitos ni tenga sistemas integrados de análisis que permitan comprender cómo operan los delitos, dónde se concentran y quiénes son sus principales víctimas. “Seguimos construyendo políticas de seguridad sobre datos incompletos. Muchas veces, las cifras oficiales solo muestran cuántas personas denunciaron, pero no necesariamente cuánto delito existe realmente. En delitos como la extorsión, la trata o la violencia, hay enormes niveles de subregistro porque la gente tiene miedo o desconfía de las instituciones”, explica Solis. En esa línea, advierte que interpretar una reducción de denuncias como una mejora automática puede llevar a diagnósticos equivocados y decisiones ineficaces. Frente a ello, ambos especialistas coinciden en que la inteligencia policial y el análisis de datos deben convertirse en pilares de la prevención. López sostiene que la Policía necesita abandonar la lógica reactiva y avanzar hacia una estrategia prospectiva. “Hacer inteligencia es transformar datos en conocimiento para anticiparse a los delitos. Y hacer inteligencia, finalmente, es hacer prevención. Los cuerpos policiales más avanzados del mundo trabajan prospectivamente, usando tecnología y análisis para evitar que el delito ocurra”, explica. Para ello, plantea integrar información policial, fiscal, financiera y tecnológica que permita identificar patrones criminales y responder con rapidez. La extorsión, afirma, evidencia las limitaciones actuales: una denuncia puede tardar semanas en circular entre comisarías, fiscalías y operadores telefónicos, tiempo suficiente para que las redes criminales cambien números, cuentas o modalidades de operación. Por eso, propone crear equipos especializados permanentes que trabajen coordinadamente con operadoras telefónicas y entidades financieras para compartir información en tiempo real y actuar antes de que el delito escale. "En delitos como la extorsión, la trata o la violencia, hay enormes niveles de subregistro porque la gente tiene miedo o desconfía de las instituciones”, señala la especialista Erika Solis. El problema de las leyes y el populismo penal Otro punto crítico es el exceso de normas improvisadas. En los últimos años, el Congreso aprobó múltiples leyes que endurecen penas, amplían figuras penales o restringen derechos bajo la promesa de combatir la inseguridad. Sin embargo, para Solis, muchas de estas medidas no tienen evidencia que respalde su efectividad. “Tenemos un problema enorme de implementación y seguimiento de normas. Se legisla mucho, pero no se mide el impacto real de esas leyes”, sostiene. Tenemos un problema enorme de implementación y seguimiento de normas. Se legisla mucho, pero no se mide el impacto real de esas leyes”. Erika Solis Investigadora del IDEHPUCP, y abogada especialista en criminalidad y violencia La criminóloga advierte que varias disposiciones han terminado agravando otros problemas, como el hacinamiento penitenciario o la criminalización de jóvenes. Actualmente, las cárceles peruanas superan ampliamente su capacidad y funcionan, en muchos casos, solo como espacios de contención. “No hay resocialización. Solo contención”, afirma. Además, alerta sobre el riesgo de copiar modelos como el salvadoreño sin considerar las diferencias contextuales ni sus consecuencias futuras. “El Cecot es una bomba de tiempo. No existe presupuesto sostenible para mantener indefinidamente un sistema basado únicamente en encarcelamiento masivo”, sostiene. Más prevención, menos espectáculo Para ambos especialistas, el desafío central del próximo gobierno será romper con la lógica del espectáculo político y construir políticas sostenidas en evidencia. Eso supone entender que la seguridad no se resolverá únicamente con más cárceles, más militares o más operativos televisados. También requiere inversión social, prevención temprana, fortalecimiento institucional y una mirada integral sobre los mercados ilegales y las violencias que atraviesan el país. “El delito es un fenómeno social, no una enfermedad que se elimina de un día para otro”, resume Erika Solis. Noam López coincide en que la respuesta no puede seguir dependiendo de medidas improvisadas cada vez que ocurre una crisis mediática. “Necesitamos decisiones estratégicas sostenibles y basadas en conocimiento”, sostiene. En un país donde el miedo se ha convertido en un actor permanente, la gran pregunta ya no es solo cómo castigar el crimen, sino cómo reconstruir la capacidad del Estado para prevenirlo antes de que siga expandiéndose.

What It’s Like to Be the Human in Mosquito Research
What It’s Like to Be the Human in Mosquito Research Superadmin Fri, 05/08/2026 - 14:01 Christopher Zuo never thought of himself as someone mosquitoes singled out. They bit him from time to time, he said, but no more than anyone else who spent a lot of time outdoors. “I don’t know if I would say I’m prone,” Zuo said. “I do get bitten, but I also think that’s partly because I’m just outside a lot more.” However, that assumption did not hold up once he stepped inside a sealed mosquito chamber as part of a Georgia Tech research study. Zuo, a Georgia Tech alum and co-author on the study , worked alongside Georgia Tech faculty member David Hu and researchers in Hu’s fluid dynamics lab — and co-authors Chenyi Fei, Alex Cohen, Jorn Dunkel from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — on a multi-year effort to understand how mosquitoes locate people. Using high-speed cameras, careful controls, and mathematical modeling, the research examined how mosquitoes respond to carbon dioxide and visual cues. To confirm whether the data reflected real-world behavior, the team needed a human subject. Zuo volunteered. Before entering the chamber, he knew the mosquitoes were safe. They had been raised in a laboratory environment and were carefully controlled, making the experiment safer than being outdoors during peak mosquito activity. “We knew exactly how all of these mosquitoes were reared, so we knew they’re disease-free,” he said. “Honestly, even if I got bitten 100 plus times, the actual danger that I was in was very little.” Wearing a mesh suit, Zuo stood nearly motionless inside the chamber while mosquitoes were released and flew freely around him. Any movement could disrupt the data, so remaining still was critical even as mosquitoes gathered close to his face and upper body. The response was immediate. “You release the mosquitoes, and they’re already on top of you,” Zuo said. “Almost felt like it was instant.” What surprised him most was not the bites but the sound. “I didn’t realize how loud they were,” he said. “When they’re flying around your head, it’s that annoying buzzing sound. I didn’t realize how annoying it can get with just enough mosquitoes flying around.” The experience was not limited to a single trial. Zuo entered the chamber multiple times as the research progressed, testing different variables including posture, clothing, and body positioning. In some experiments, he was required to hold his arms extended so cameras could capture a consistent silhouette. “It felt more like an exercise at the gym,” Zuo said. “I was very much more focused on keeping my arms up and being as still as possible.” Across those repeated interactions, patterns emerged that closely matched what the data predicted. Mosquitoes found him quickly, clustered in specific areas, and lingered only when certain conditions aligned. “And once the conditions were right,” Zuo said, “they stayed.” Zuo’s role helped bridge the gap between abstract modeling and human experience. It also challenged common assumptions about mosquito behavior that many people take for granted. What follows are some of the most common mosquito myths, and what the Georgia Tech research and Zuo’s firsthand experience actually showed. Mosquito Myths vs. Reality Myth: Mosquitoes swarm because they are following each other. Reality: Mosquitoes respond independently to the same cues, which creates the appearance of swarming. Trajectory data collected during the experiments showed no evidence that mosquitoes were coordinating or communicating with one another. Zuo explained that what people often describe as swarming is the result of multiple mosquitoes responding simultaneously to the same environmental signals. When carbon dioxide and a clear visual target are present, many mosquitoes converge on the same area independently. Zuo compared it to people arriving separately at the same crowded place because something there is attractive, not because they are following the crowd. Myth: Mosquitoes randomly target different parts of the body. Reality: In this study, mosquitoes concentrated near the head and shoulders, but only for the species observed, which is present in parts of the Southeast. The Georgia Tech experiments focused on Aedes aegypti (dengue or yellow fever mosquito), a species found in parts of Georgia and other areas of the southeastern United States. Within that species, both trajectory data and Zuo’s experience inside the chamber showed mosquitoes repeatedly clustering near the head and shoulders rather than distributing evenly across the body. Zuo observed this pattern while standing still in the mesh suit, as mosquitoes returned again and again to his upper body. The study also confirmed previous biting studies showing that Aedes aegypti mosquitoes target the upper body, while other mosquitoes might focus on other areas. Researchers linked the behavior to carbon dioxide released through breathing near the mouth and nose, paired with a strong visual target. Zuo emphasized that other mosquito species behave differently and that these findings should not be applied to all mosquitoes. Myth: Carbon dioxide alone explains why mosquitoes find people. Reality: Carbon dioxide and visual cues work together, and neither is enough on its own. Zuo described experiments that isolated carbon dioxide using inanimate objects before introducing a human subject. Carbon dioxide alone helped mosquitoes locate the general area of a target but did not consistently keep them there. Visual cues alone helped mosquitoes recognize an object but did not hold their attention. When both signals were combined, mosquito behavior changed significantly. The research showed the response was nonlinear, meaning the combined effect was stronger than simply adding the two cues together. Myth: Once mosquitoes find a target, they always stay nearby. Reality: Mosquitoes do not linger unless conditions align. The data showed that mosquitoes often passed by targets unless both carbon dioxide and visual signals were present at the same time. Zuo observed that once those conditions aligned during the mesh suit experiments, mosquitoes stayed close and returned repeatedly to the same areas. Without the full set of cues, they were less likely to remain focused on a target. Myth: All mosquitoes behave the same way. Reality: Mosquito behavior varies by species and environmental conditions. Aedes aegypti , Zuo described, are capable of feeding in well-lit conditions rather than relying solely on dusk. He contrasted this with Anopheles (marsh) mosquitoes, which require darker conditions and are closely tied to light and dark cycles during experiments. Zuo emphasized that the findings reflect the behavior of a single species and that different mosquito species respond to different cues. What the CDC Recommends During Mosquito Season While the Georgia Tech research explains how mosquitoes locate people, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) outlines steps people can take during mosquito season to reduce the risk of bites. The CDC recommends using Environmental Protection Agency-registered insect repellents on exposed skin and wearing loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Clothing and gear can also be treated with permethrin, which is designed for use on fabrics and not directly on skin. The agency also advises controlling mosquitoes indoors and outdoors by eliminating standing water and keeping window and door screens in good repair. The CDC notes that mosquitoes can bite during the day or night, depending on the species, and encourages precautions whenever mosquitoes are active.

Mapping the core: Students customize underwater drone to study nuclear reactor
A team of McMaster students is collecting key data around the core of an operational nuclear reactor using a customized underwater drone. Engineering physics students Gavin Cabral, Saarthak Midha and Byron Josipovic have spent the past few months working on a first-of-a-kind student research project at the McMaster Nuclear Reactor (MNR). In collaboration with MNR’s operations team, the students measured radiation dose rates in the reactor pool to support ongoing data collection and maintenance planning at the facility. It’s all done via ROV — a remote operating vehicle outfitted by the students and tested at MNR this spring. Students lowered the device 25 feet into the reactor pool, where they captured valuable radiation measurements. Cabral says the goal of the project was to test a new way to accurately survey radiation dose rates in the pool, which are typically gathered using a variety of fixed and portable instruments. “During the test run, we were able to successfully launch the drone and use it to create a map of the radiation dose rates near the thermal column,” he says. The thermal column is located next to the reactor core. Historically, it’s been used to slow down neutrons produced by the core, making them usable for research. Plans are underway to replace this legacy component with two new neutron beam ports, expanding MNR support for cutting-edge materials research. Using a position-determining system they designed themselves, the students were able to pinpoint exact locations in the pool where the drone detected different levels of radiation, says Josipovic. “We equipped the drone with a gamma detector and attached bright pink golf balls so we could easily track its position. Using two fixed underwater cameras and a tagged reference point that we placed near the bottom of the pool, we were able to map radiation levels in the pool in 3D,” he says. Josipovic says one of the biggest technical challenges the team faced was ensuring the underwater cameras were thoroughly waterproofed for deployment in the ultrapure water of the reactor pool. “Another challenge was maintaining reliable colour-based detection as the ROV descended into the pool’s darker depths,” he says. With support from their supervisor, Adrian Kitai, and experts at MNR and McMaster’s Health Physics team, the students successfully completed the test run, collecting valuable data to support reactor operations. The project was an opportunity to take the theoretical concepts the students learned about in class and apply them to a real-world test case, says Midha. “Working on Rad-Map helped me develop my ability to think quickly and adapt to unforeseen challenges that arose during the design, testing and deployment process,” he says. Built in 1959, MNR is Canada’s largest nuclear research reactor. It supports research in clean energy, nuclear medicine, materials science and more, while supplying the world with life-saving medical isotopes. It also provides valuable experiential learning opportunities for students in engineering and science, says Derek Cappon, Director of Reactor Operations and Maintenance. “This was a great chance for students to develop hands-on research skills and take the lead on a truly impactful project. The data collected from Rad-Map will be instrumental as we plan the expansion of MNR’s neutron beams. The students’ drone mapping system opens doors for the future in terms of how we collect measurements in the depths of the reactor pool,” he says.

Hígado graso: cuál es la dieta más eficaz para tratarlo y el endulzante que hay que evitar
La dieta mediterránea se ofrece como la más eficaz para el tratamiento del hígado graso porque cuenta con antioxidantes , fibra (que aporta el consumo de frutas, verduras, legumbres, semillas), cereales integrales, omega 3 y es baja en azúcares. Es importante evitar el consumo de alcohol y de bebidas azucaradas. No se trata de abandonar la ingesta de grasa sino de controlar la cantidad de energía que se ingiere y a través de qué alimentos proviene. Consumir aceite de oliva a diario. Lo mejor es usarlo crudo en ensaladas para que no pierda su composición al calentarse. No es necesario cocinar todo con oliva , podés mezclar otros aceites para cocinar. Aumentar el consumo de pescado semanal. Si comes pescado una vez cada quince días empezar a incorporarlo todas las semanas en el menú; si lo comes una vez a la semana, aumentarlo a dos . De esta manera se irá disminuyendo paulatinamente las carnes rojas, siempre combinándolas con verduras o cereales, para que no sean el alimento principal o único del plato. Aumentar el consumo de frutas y verduras. Si no comes ni una sola fruta empezar por incluir todos los días al menos una unidad y lo mismo para las verduras. Estos son los alimentos que más vitaminas, minerales y fibra aportan . Intentar subir la cantidad hasta incluir cinco porciones al día. Empezar a consumir legumbres como las lentejas, garbanzos y porotos. Tenemos arraigado el concepto que si no comemos carne no estamos consumiendo proteínas pero las legumbres también las aportan y más si las mezclamos con cereales . Si consumimos lácteos y derivados, optar por los descremados y bajos en grasa . Sumar frutos secos, son una fuente inagotable de grasas saludables cardioprotectoras. “No da síntomas” Alrededor de 1 de cada 3 argentinos sufre la afección de hígado graso , a menudo asintomático y asociado a factores como el sobrepeso, la mala alimentación, la diabetes y el sedentarismo. Existen dos tipos principales: no alcohólico y alcohólico . Higado graso “El hígado graso no da síntomas. Primero es la acumulación de grasa dentro de las células del hígado y eso se inflama y cicatriza. Hasta ahí lo podemos revertir. Pero cuando pasa la cirrosis ya es mucho más difícil”, explicó el cardiólogo Jorge Tartaglione en los estudios de LN+. En ese sentido, afirmó que el hígado graso es un factor de riesgo para el infarto de miocardio y ACV. “A mí como cardiólogo me da una alerta a futuro porque podes tener un problema cardíaco. Si tengo un paciente de 40 años con hígado graso, tengo que estar muy atento . Es como si yo le hiciera una análisis de corazón 10 años antes porque le va a impactar en el corazón. Me da la alerta del corazón ”, especificó. Asimismo, remarcó que si no se controla, puede evolucionar a tres tipos de patologías: Cirrosis. Fibrosis. Cáncer de hígado. Dos estudios clave Dado que el hígado graso suele ser asintomático en sus etapas iniciales, el especialista aconsejó dos estudios clave para detectarlo y evitar su evolución en el organismo. “Para diagnosticar es la ecografía y el análisis de sangre . Cuando las enzimas hepáticas están elevadas ahí está la sospecha”. Y agregó: “Cuando veas esa ecografía podés hacer muchas cosas para estar mejor. Tratá de alimentarte sano y saludable . Chequéate”. Sobre este punto, recomendó el siguiente tratamiento: Dieta saludable. Actividad física. Pérdida de peso. Abstinencia del alcohol. El endulzante a evitar Tartaglione también atribuyó el número elevado de esta condición en el país y en el mundo al consumo de jarabe de maíz de alta fructosa (JMAF), un endulzante líquido industrializado a partir de almidón de maíz, presentes en muchos productos procesados por su bajo costo y poder edulcorante. “Circula en muchos alimentos. Vas a comprar algo y es el que tiene cuatrocientos productos, evitálo. Es más barato que el azúcar . Ese jarabe en el único lugar donde se metaboliza es en el hígado. Lo impacta y se acumula”, concluyó. Tres opciones caseras para depurar el hígado 1. Jugo de remolacha De acuerdo con la organización Fundahígado, el jugo de remolacha es una de las opciones más eficaces para limpiar el hígado. Este vegetal es rico en potasio, vitamina C y antioxidantes como la betalaína, que ayudan a reducir la inflamación y proteger el órgano de desarrollar complicaciones como el síndrome hepatopulmonar, común en pacientes con cirrosis. 2. Té verde El té verde se asoció con una reducción significativa en el riesgo de enfermedad hepática, incluida la cirrosis. Según un metaanálisis publicado en el International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, esta infusión podría disminuir la probabilidad de padecer enfermedades como hepatitis, hígado graso y carcinoma hepatocelular. 3. Café El café demostró tener efectos protectores sobre el hígado cuando se consume de manera moderada. La organización British Liver Trust indica que beber café puede reducir el riesgo de cirrosis y de un tipo específico de cáncer hepático. Según un estudio de 2021 citado por Medical News Today, incluso el café descafeinado y el instantáneo se han asociado con una menor incidencia de enfermedades hepáticas crónicas. El consumo recomendado es de 3 a 4 tazas al día.

Special committee files complaints against 31 figures in alleged fabrication by prosecution
A special parliamentary committee filed complaints Friday against 31 individuals linked to allegations of fabricated indictments, including cases involving President Lee Jae Myung, on charges of perjury and others. The move came after the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK)-led committee concluded a monthlong probe last week into allegations that prosecutors under the previous Yoon Suk Yeol administration had fabricated evidence to indict then opposition leader Lee in multiple cases, including those involving alleged illegal remittances to North Korea and the Daejang-dong development corruption scandal. Lawmakers from the DPK and minor Jinbo Party submitted the complaints to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials and the National Office of Investigation earlier in the day. Prosecutor Park Sang-yong, who investigated underwear maker Ssangbangwool Group's unauthorized remittance to North Korea, was charged with refusing to take an oath without justifiable reasons in two parliamentary hearings last month. The committee also filed complaints against Kim Sung-tae, f
