A real responsável pelo mapeamento inédito dos nervos do clitóris O órgão feminino finalmente teve seus nervos mapeados pela primeira vez. E esse avanço se deu graças a uma mulher coreana. "Eu liderei o projeto de mapeamento dos nervos do clitóris", afirma Ju Young Lee, PhD em neurociência e autora principal do estudo, que nasceu e se graduou na Coreia do Sul. Mas, se você busca o nome dela no Google Acadêmico, é como se ela só existisse a partir do momento em que vai para a Europa e passa a dividir a autoria com colegas de lá. Tanto é que as reportagens sobre o estudo dizem apenas que ele foi feito por cientistas da Amsterdam University Medical Center. Ou seja, Ju Young Lee precisou contornar o viés geopolítico da ciência, que segue predominantemente eurocêntrica - marginalizando a importância das contribuições de culturas fora da Europa e do Norte Global no geral para o nascimento e desenvolvimento da ciência moderna. Como se as únicas ideias intelectuais que importassem fossem as produzidas em solo europeu. Além disso, o foco inicial da carreira dela nem era esse. Imagem 3D mostra extensão de nervos do clitóris Divulgação "Minha formação foi em neurociência. Fiz meu mestrado e doutorado no Instituto Max Planck, na Alemanha, e quase tudo o que estudei foi sobre o cérebro", diz Ju Young Lee. Foi só depois de participar da maior conferência europeia de neurociência que o foco dela mudou. "Havia um grande entusiasmo sobre como o intestino e o cérebro interagem entre si. E eu me lembro de perguntar: 'Alguém está fazendo a mesma pergunta sobre os órgãos ginecológicos? Como esses nervos interagem com o cérebro?' E a resposta deles foi: 'Ah, eu nunca pensei nisso'", afirma. Mas os nervos do pênis a ciência já tinham pensado em mapear três décadas atrás. Há cerca de 20 vezes mais artigos científicos sobre a glande peniana do que sobre a glande clitoriana. Isso diz tudo sobre quanta atenção esse órgão tem recebido. Será que se Ju Young Lee não tivesse um clitóris, ela teria pensado nisso? "Historicamente, a urologia focou no pênis. Já a ginecologia focou mais nos órgãos reprodutivos, como o útero e os ovários. O clitóris fica na lacuna entre eles, e essa é uma das principais razões por que a ciência dele está tão atrasada", diz, Isso a motivou a buscar alguém da ginecologia que tivesse interesse no tema. O que a levou até o Centro Médico da Universidade de Amsterdã, onde passou a integrar o Human Organ Atlas Hub (HOAHub) - um projeto internacional cujo objetivo é mapear o corpo humano em 3D. Basicamente um Google Earth da anatomia. "A reação do público foi o que mais me surpreendeu. Acreditamos que o público estava esperando por essa discussão. Acho que a comunidade científica agora está começando a perceber isso" diz Lee. Mas, para ela, esse é apenas o começo. "E esse campo precisa não só de mais financiamento, mas também de mais conscientização. A maioria das pessoas, incluindo médicos, nunca recebeu um ensino adequado sobre a anatomia do clitóris. Acho que isso precisa mudar", afirma. E ela segue fazendo sua parte nessa conscientização. Tanto dentro do laboratório, com a pesquisa quanto fora dele, com um podcast chamado IGWA Women, que começou apenas em coreano, mas logo ganhou uma versão em inglês. "IGWA é uma palavra coreana para especialização em ciências. Então 'IGWA Women' basicamente significa 'mulheres na ciência'. Abordamos diversos tópicos, desde machine learning até filosofia da ciência e, claro, saúde da mulher. E, para mim, o podcast e o trabalho de laboratório são duas faces da mesma moeda. A ciência do clitóris não pode avançar apenas no laboratório", diz a cientista. Cientistas mapeiam o clitóris pela primeira vez Arte/g1

It takes a brave person to write about a gang of 20-somethings navigating life and love in neighbouring Manhattan apartments. Sadly this is not an instant classic – it’s a slice of schmaltzy pudding flopping on to a plate More than three decades after Friends launched, it is still a brave writer who puts out a show about a gaggle of twentysomethings learning to navigate life and love in a brace of unfeasibly palatial apartments in Manhattan. Brave or, perhaps, foolish. The new sitcom from Mindy Kaling (who began her writing and acting career on the US version of The Office and most recently created high school comedy Never Have I Ever and university sitcom The Sex Lives of College Girls) gives us five rather than six friends split between two apartments across a hallway. Two of them are people of colour rather than maintaining the Kauffman-Cranes’ now infamously melanin-free approach to city life, but the keen eye can still trace the ancestry. The ear may have more trouble. Kaling’s scripts try hard but rarely shine, let alone dazzle as the Friends’ dialogue almost unfailingly did. Continue reading...

Sources predict ‘toe-curling’ revelations as more than 1,000 pages of documents relating to his appointment as US ambassador to be published Mandelson files show no mitigation of security concerns Good morning. Many people despair at the quality of governance in Britain at the moment, but in one respect we are living through a golden age; if you are interested in contemporary history, and learning about what actually happens at the heart of government, then you can now – sometimes – access the sort of information never available before. Today the government is publishing a mass of information – apparently running to three volumes, and more than 1,000 pages – containing the private messages Peter Mandelson exchanged with government ministers and officials when he was ambassador to the US, and before his appointment. Last month a minister compared this to the evidence released as part of the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war. But the Chilcot inquiry took place in the era before WhatsApp, and it was publishing secret memos – intended for circulation within Whitehall. WhatsApp messages are a lot more personal; reading them is like being able to eavesdrop on a private conversation. Mandelson is a man with spiky, controversial views, who loves gossip and plotting, and whose private views don’t always accord with what he has said in public. It should be fascinating. I think the level of transparency is going to be unprecedented. The volume of information that’s going to be put out is unprecedented. It’s right we do that. We have been very clear that the appointment of Mandelson was wrong. Continue reading...

In the Nordic country, books covering subjects such as childbirth and sex have become bestsellers among younger readers – and an export hit. Behind their success lies a unique philosophy of childhood learning ‘I wasn’t aware that I am such a brave writer and illustrator,” says Anna Fiske, a softly spoken Swedish-born author living in Norway who received death threats for a book she wrote in 2019. “I just tell things as they are.” Fiske doesn’t write political polemics but books for children: the title of the offending book is Hvordan Lager Man en Baby?, “How Do You Make a Baby” – and, yes, there are illustrations. Distributed in English-speaking territories through Fiske’s New Zealand publisher, it triggered threats from Canada and was banned from several school libraries in the US. “They said it was pornographic.” Continue reading...
• Fee structure is on par with private universities but facilities are nowhere near the same standard, laments a student • Kuts admits students are suffering, holds ‘bad administration’ responsible for their woes • Students wonder why CM, Sindh govt remain silent spectators to crisis at country’s largest university KARACHI: Nearly 50,000 students at the country’s largest university have been left in limbo as the teachers’ boycott of semester examinations over what they claimed unpaid dues enters its fourth week, disrupting academic plans and causing growing anxiety among students and their parents. With no clear timeline for the resumption of exams, many students are fearing further delays to the academic calendar, shortened semesters and the loss of their semester break. Lack of response from the provincial government, especially from the chief minister who is the controlling authority of all public sector universities across Sindh, to resolve the dispute has also been criticised. The KU teachers have been boycotting the semester exams since May 5 over non-payment of their dues for evening classes, copy checking, exam supervision, paper setting, exam vigilance, house ceiling and leave encashment among other things. They have called for an investigation into the financial crisis at the campus and refuse to end the strike until the fulfilment of their demands. However, the prolonged boycott has put students under increased stress and frustration. “I don’t want to continue further studies at KU anymore. I’m so fed up with this broken system,” a frustrated student told Dawn. He said he paid his fees on time but never got any facilities accordingly. Similarly, a first-year student from the Department of International Relations said, “It’s my first semester at KU. I am still learning how the system works and adapting to university life. I prepared extensively for the exams, studying day and night, only to have them cancelled unexpectedly. My biggest concern now is that if the exams are rescheduled during the semester break, as it is rumoured, the entire break will be spent preparing for and taking exams. This uncertainty has completely disrupted my plans and added unnecessary stress,” she said. “Just like many other students, I am frustrated due to the prolonged delay in examinations and the lack of clear communication from both the university and teachers. We are uncertain about when exams will take place and worried about the impact on the next semester,” said a student from the Department of English. He said his main concern is the disruption to the academic calendar and the potential loss of study time in the upcoming semester. Similarly, a final-year Visual Studies student said he supported the teachers’ demands but added that such disputes between the administration and the employees had become a recurring issue at the university. “And eventually, teachers and the administration reach agreements, but students are the ones who suffer the most from such delays,” he said. Expressing concern over the academic calendar, the student said almost a month had already been lost and students had not been informed how the university planned to make up for the delay. “We do not know whether the next semester will be shortened, whether multiple papers will be scheduled on the same day, or how the lost time will be managed,” the student said. He pointed out that examination and semester fees had increased steadily over the past few years but the quality of education and university services had not improved. “The fee structure is now approaching that of private universities but the facilities are nowhere near the same standard,” he said, adding: “Sometimes I wonder whether it would have been better to enrol in a private university.” One student wondered why the provincial authorities and relevant government bodies did not look into the matters at KU, which is the largest university not just in Sindh but also in the country. Similar questions were also raised by students on various social media platforms, where they criticised the Sindh CM and the Universities and Boards Department, and asked why the chief minister was not intervening in the matter and why no step was being taken to fix the broken system at KU. Talking to Dawn, Karachi University Teachers Society (Kuts) President Syed Ghufran Alam said there was no doubt that students were the ultimate sufferers whenever such disputes arose. However, it’s the “bad university administration” which causes this suffering, he added. “Students are suffering, but not because of teachers. The responsibility lies with the bad management,” he said and emphasised that the administration was responsible for ensuring both educational services to students paying hefty fees as well as timely salaries for employees. But, he said that it has failed in ensuring both. Alam said teachers had repeatedly raised their issues with the administration but were left with no choice except to continue their protest. “For the past six to seven years, the management has failed to resolve issues through dialogue and has instead adopted a rigid approach, which has brought matters to this stage,” he said. On examinations, he said students would be given sufficient time to prepare once the dispute was resolved. “ We will facilitate students and take the student organisations on board. Any decision to restart exams will be announced a few days in advance,” he said. However, he stressed that the final decision on examinations and the academic calendar rested with the university administration. KU Vice Chancellor Dr Khalid Iraqi was not available for comment.

TAXILA: A delegation led by Mamta Murthi, Vice President of the World Bank, visited Taxila Museum and prominent Unesco World Heritage sites on Sunday, reaffirming international interest in Pakistan’s rich archaeological, cultural and religious heritage. The delegation was received by Deputy Director Department of archaeology Mohammad Aasim Dogar and senior archaeologist Dr Arslan. They briefed the visitors on the museum’s extensive collection of Gandharan antiquities, Buddhist relics and rare archaeological artifacts. The officials also highlighted Taxila’s historical significance as a renowned centre of learning, culture and commerce that flourished for centuries at the crossroads of ancient civilisations. During the visit, the delegation toured various galleries of the museum and reviewed ongoing conservation and preservation initiatives aimed at protecting the region’s invaluable archaeological assets and promoting sustainable heritage management. The World Bank team also visited the Unesco World Heritage sites of Sirkap and Dharmarajika, where they were briefed about the historical, cultural and architectural importance of the ancient ruins. The sites stand as enduring symbols of the Gandharan civilization and reflect the region’s pivotal role in the spread of Buddhism across South and Central Asia. Officials informed the delegation about ongoing efforts to preserve and promote the archaeological heritage of Taxila, which continues to attract scholars, researchers and tourists from around the world. The visit underscored the growing importance of safeguarding Pakistan’s cultural heritage and enhancing international cooperation for the conservation of historical landmarks that embody the country’s diverse civilisational legacy.

In Pakistan, owning a house is more than just shelter; it is a symbol of financial stability and social status. However, this goal is slipping out of reach for many as soaring property prices and real wage decline have made homeownership increasingly unaffordable. Before getting into the extent of this problem, we first need to understand the country’s demographics and how the problem is only expected to amplify. By 2100, Pakistan is projected to be the third largest country in the world with more than 500 million inhabitants. Based on the average household size of 6.3 per 2023 census, the country potentially faces an annual demand of 977,497 houses. While that foretells a massive planning and resource challenge, the distribution is even more telling. According to the 2023 census, urban areas, which house 39 per cent of the population, expanded at 3.65pc annually, almost twice the growth rate of 1.90pc in rural areas, driven by the double whammy of high births as well as internal migration. Both this pace and the gap have widened from 2017, when the rate of change for urban areas was 3pc compared to 2pc rural. The ramifications for housing are significant: the top 20 districts by density contain 83m people, yet occupy merely 5pc of the landmass, according to a new policy brief, “Urbanisation, Housing Supply, and the Credit Gap in Pakistan”, published by the Karachi School of Business Leadership’s InsightLab. What this means is that in the absence of proper metropolitan infrastructure, demand is naturally channelled towards more central locations where the supply doesn’t adjust accordingly, thus putting pressure on prices. While demand-side incentives are great at developing depth in the mortgage markets, home ownership is a supply problem as low-cost options are almost negligible in core urban centres Islamabad’s urban housing market best reflects the classic case of rising inaccessibility, where the average per-square-foot price is Rs31,000, whereas Karachi and Lahore stand at Rs27,000 and Rs21,000, respectively, as per Zameen.com. Since Covid-19, Pakistan’s urban housing market has generated staggering returns, with average per-square-foot prices rising by 103pc in Karachi, 115pc in Islamabad, and 90.9pc in Lahore. It’s no surprise then that renting is far more common in Karachi and Islamabad, with 36pc of households renting in both cities compared to 20pc in Lahore. As urbanisation would accelerate even further in search of better economic opportunities and living standards, a growing share of the population will be unable to purchase properties in highly inflated urban centres. Eventually leading to increasing demand for rental housing, which would in turn put upward pressure on rents and gradually narrow the gap between rental and property prices. While the demographic challenge is already hard to arrest, the housing problem is only exacerbated by a lack of credit access as Pakistan’s mortgage markets remain underdeveloped. High appetite from the government has systematically diverted liquidity towards the treasury and crowded out private sector credit, which stands at just 9.2pc of GDP. Within that constrained pool, personal finance comprises only 11pc or Rs1.4 trillion, of which Rs507.2bn trickled down to mortgages as of December 2025. However, this figure substantially overstates the market’s depth, for it clubs house loans to both consumers and bank employees. In fact, the latter accounts for over 56pc of the scheduled banking outstanding housing advances. In terms of volumes, the market is even more skewed as only 34,926 consumers had an outstanding housing loan from a scheduled bank as of December, out of almost 90m deposit accounts. Contrast this with slightly over 200,000 bank employees claiming 91,396 mortgages. These challenges stem partly from the economy’s boom-and-bust cycles, in which borrowing costs fluctuate sharply, discouraging financial institutions from underwriting long-term loans while making markups prohibitively high and volatile for end customers. Moreover, the lack of formal income and credit history, coupled with weak foreclosure laws, made the segment quite unviable. The data attests to this: mortgage non-performing loans stood at Rs14.8bn as of March, which represents 32.8pc of all consumer sector bad debts despite making up only 23.2pc of the segment’s loan portfolio — translating into an infection ratio of 6.4 versus 4.2, respectively. Multiple attempts have been made to address this problem. When the ‘Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar’ (MPMG) scheme was launched in 2020, it was designed as a broad, multi-tiered housing finance program to support both low- and middle-income buyers. It offered four tiers with loan sizes ranging from Rs2m to Rs10m and unit size limits extending up to 10 Marla (2,000 sq. ft) for Tier 3. Except for Tier 1, there was no price cap on housing units and customer pricing was differentiated by tier, which started at 3pc for Tier 1 and went up to 7–9pc for higher tiers, while banks were allowed varied spreads on top of Kibor [Karachi Interbank Offered Rate]. This structure gave borrowers not only some predictability on pricing but also flexibility across income segments, including access to upper-tier customers. By June 2022, the scheme had been suspended amid economic and political uncertainty. But almost three and a half years later, it made a comeback under a new branding, albeit with some key changes. First, the end customer rates are cheaper and fixed at 5pc for the first 10 years. Second, the markup subsidy is to be provisioned in the federal budget instead of a refinancing facility by the central bank, due to the International Monetary Fund conditionalities. Though these amendments may make the scheme more attractive to borrowers while still maintaining monetary prudence, the more important question is: how did the previous intervention fare? According to available numbers, MPMG received applications worth Rs514bn, of which Rs235bn was approved, and only Rs99bn were disbursed. It was complemented by ‘Naya Pakistan Housing Program’, a supply-side intervention wherein the government assured to provide 5m houses. While the targets were quite ambitious, the reality fell well short, with only 21,980 low-cost units completed, about 52,000 under construction and 95,084 in the planning phase. That’s where the biggest learning lies; while demand-side incentives are great at developing depth in the mortgage markets, home ownership in Pakistan is largely a supply problem as low-cost options are almost negligible in core urban centres. Moreover, the lack of mass transit and infrastructure deters residents from moving to the more affordable options in the peripheries. Unless those are addressed, cheap loans will only go so far.

DUTCH police have found themselves in the middle of an online furore after footage of personnel assaulting a pregnant woman went viral on social media. The incident, which took place on May 19 in the town of Zeist, came to light over the weekend after videos circulated online of an officer violently pulling a heavily pregnant woman by the arm, causing her to fall to the ground, according to Dutch outlet RTV Utrecht. The video was filmed inside an asylum seekers’ centre. After she is dragged to the ground, the officer is seen being attacked by a man, who is said to be the woman’s husband. Media reports indicated that the couple was speaking to police after they were called in over a disturbance complaint. According to Al Jazeera, the woman’s husband was detained for smashing a television after learning of the death of his relative in Gaza. The woman said her husband was very respectful to the officers, adding that she was grabbed and forced to the ground after simply asking to accompany her husband to detention. The Al Jazeera report said that the woman went into early labour as a result of her trauma, and gave birth to a premature baby girl. Although both the baby and the woman are said to have escaped serious injury, questions are being raised over the conduct of the police. According to the Dutch press, the man was arrested following the incident, but has since been released. A statement by a spokesperson for Dutch police said the department “will carefully examine all the facts and circumstances,” which also includes assessing the force used by officers. However, it is not clear whether any disciplinary action has been taken against the officers involved. “We need to look at what happened there and in what order,” the police statement said.
