"In our patient population, we found that 7.2% (95% CI 3.4–11.0) were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a concomitant disease (Table 3). A recent Danish study calculated the prevalence of ASD in Denmark to be 1.5% among boys."
Association found between ASD and childhood penile surgeries. This is reference 1, next toot has #2.
Rat Trap- While doing this activity, many mishaps go unreported, which we cannot see from the outside. Their lives are devastating enough that they are called thieves in their own house, and during a case of mine collapse, they cannot even shed a tear or claim their loved ones’ body. This film narrates their daily life. The film was award the Satyajit Ray Silver Award for 2nd best film in the 6th South Asian Short Film Festival, Kolkata 2023. #mastindia@mastodonindians#indigenous
I was thinking about the present conditions of #India when I suddenly thought of revisiting this #movie by #SatyajitRay. "Hirak Rajar Deshe" (In the Land of the Diamond-King). Its portrayal of moving to dictatorial rule is dangerously accurate.
I really wanted to share this#song from the #film. It is in #bengali so I shall provide a translation.
I see such funny things in the world.
Everywhere I look, I am confused beyond words.
I can't make sense of this world.
Oh brother!
Look at the good fellows stuck in their dilapidated homes.
The evil one ascends the throne.
The wheat farmer can't manage two square meals.
The diamond mine's labours are living in poverty.
Oh Brother, how funny is our world!
The presence of Indians, from India, in Fediverse is insignificant as on today. Most of us are happy with X and social media tools from Meta. Even the number of posts from existing users, in India, is very low though many of them seem to be active in the above mentioned social media sites.
What can be done to improve the situation? There are no carrots here.
There is a special irony in a prize in the name of German Jewish philosopher and journalist Hannah Arendt, whose work on the rise of German fascism is essential, being withheld from another Jewish journalist for writing about the rise of authoritarianism.
@FAIR Hannah Arendt (New Yorker, 12/9/23) called Israel’s Herut party—a forerunner of Likud—”a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy, and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties.” Such opinions would likely disqualify her for the Hannah Arendt Prize.
indian intellectual ranjit hoskoté stepped down¹ as member of the selection committee of germany's most important exhibition of contemporary art documenta amidst a distinctly german discussion, publicly labeling ranjit hoskoté as antisemitic
by and large german media has opted to neglect coverage of cooperation between far-right hindutva politicians from india and far-right zionist politicians from israel > both of them share a peculiar anti-muslim stance which is met with approval from many sections of german society
keeping this in mind, the public rejection of ranjit hoskoté does not come as a surprise >
hoskoté's being vocal about far-right cooperations on international level is not welcome in germany where the political leadership maintains close ties with the far-right governments of both india and israel
@Healthcarer@bangladesh@buddyverse.xyz @masindia যারা আমার টাইমলাইনে বাজে ভাষা ব্যবহার করছেন তাদের আমি নিঃশব্দ (Mute) করেছি - এই ব্যক্তি অবশ্য একমত নন কিন্তু তাহলেও ভদ্র मैं उन लोगों को मूक करता हूं जो मेरी समयरेखा में खराब भाषा का उपयोग कर रहे हैं - यह व्यक्ति सहमत नहीं है, लेकिन फिर भी कोमल है। Sorry about the poor translation- "main un logon ko mute karata hoon jo meree samayarekha mein kharaab bhaasha ka upayog kar rahe hain - yeh vyakti sahamat nahin hai, lekin phir bhee bhadra hai."
