CULTURAL QA 05-2022-04 BEING A COMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS
Q1 I had a grandfather who saw the doctor regularly, atehealthy, and was in good shape for his age. One day without much warning he hada heart attack and died. How common is this? A1 Michael Smith MD PhysicianMay 3 Pretty common. Everyone isn’t sick, until they are. In my opinion, being completely healthy until a sudden end is a greatoutcome- so long as the sudden end comes once you’re elderly and have lived afull life. Way better thanthe alternative of living a number of years with any major chronic disease. Q2 Why is it easier to share personal stuff with strangers thanit is with close friends/family? A2 Bhuvana Rameshwar Humanrelationships Wed Many people share personal stuff with strangers especially online where you do not know who they are exceptthat they are homosapiens. What is the comfort behind this kind of sharing? I would say many. Goinganonymous is another way to do the same. Let's see the benefits… Strangers, are people unknown to you, they don't judge you as they do notknow your past. You have a good way to pour outyour inner most fears which cannot be told to family members. The stranger will not, cannot not use the information against you. Closefamily, friends may judge you , belittle you and even let you down later usingthe same info as a trump card. Your image may take a beating or you may lose yourself respect if you share with a wrong known person. Friends with whom we share our feelings are our biggest enemies iffriendship goes sour. Then our secret becomes the talk of the campus. Even if strangers give some bad comment on your views you are leastbothered and move on brushing it aside easily. Family members first advice us then keep compelling us tofollow what they advised. This can become a big burden if living under the sameroof. They give no choice. Strangers give us freedom and peace. M Strangers are like churchconfessions. You speak out, emptyyourself and feel unburdened. It is so peaceful once you pour out without anyrepercussions. Familyor friends do not guarantee loyalty to you or any oath of secrecy.Sometimes some secrets go to the grave with us for want of a good loyal person.Even personal diariesare read, passwords got and computer files opened . Going anonymous or talking tostrangers online or say on a short train journey doesn't come withthese bounce backs of any discomforting disclosure or blackmailing . Q3 What animals generate electricity? A3 Ken Saladin Formerprofessor of histology (microscopic anatomy)Updated Sat All animals (in fact all livingcells) do to varying degrees. Sharks can detect a person (or sea lion, fish, or other animal) inturbid water where they can’t see it by means of electricity given off by thatanimal’s body. Serge Elia*has given excellent examples of fish that give off strong electrical pulses.The platypus has electroreceptors in its snout, much like the ones Sergiodescribes in sharks, by which it detects worms, prawns, and other prey inunseen places on the river bottom, attesting to the electricity given off bythose invertebrates. Q4 What happens if you eat too much onion? A4 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals Fri Onion is the most planted vegetable in the world, and its nutritionalvalue is very high, known as the "Queen of Vegetables". Onions not only contain nutrients that the body needs, but onions alsohave many medicinal properties, including antioxidant, anticancer,anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-virus and so on. It should be mentioned thatonions contain some fructans, which most vegetables do not. Fructan is a carbohydrate with health-care functions, which can reducethe production of tumor-related substances and has a good effect on preventing cancer and otherchronic diseases. Fructan is also a nutrient for good bacteria in the gut, which canincrease the number of good bacteria. However, There May Be Some Side Effects after eatingtoo much onion. There are no enzymes in the gut that can decompose fructans, so fructanscannot be digested and absorbed by body. Large amounts of fructans accumulate in the gut andmay cause gut problems such as bloating, abdominal pain, gas, and cramping. Therefore, you can't eat too many onions, and it is advisable to eat 50 grams to 80 grams a day. Q5 What is 'panchabhaksha paramannam' called in Telugu? A5 Krishnama Ramadurai Livesin Secunderabad, Telangana, India (1966–present)Apr 15 ‘Pancha bhakshya paramAnnamulu—పంచభక్ష్యపరమాన్నములు . You can say that this phrase is equivalent to the expression ‘Royal feast’ offeredin a Telugu way. This phrase is from Samskrit and describes five types food served in acomplete feast ending with a sweetmeat served. Those five types of food are:-👇 1.Bhakshyamu-భక్ష్యము: Food items that could be eaten only by biting. If you are familiar with Telugu food, garelu, boorelu, appAlu, appadAlu,vadiyAlu etc., come under this category. 2.BhOjyamu-భోజ్యము: Food items that should be eaten by chewing. PulihOra, Dhadhyojanam, pulusannam, kobbariannam, kadhambam and all other‘chithrAnnam’ varities come under this category. 3.LEhyamu-లేహ్యము: Food items that should be eaten by licking. Honey, jaggery ‘pAkam’, chalividi etc., come under this category. 4.ChOshyamu-చోష్యము: Food items that are to be sucked to relish. PAyasam, dhappaLam, chaaru etc., come under this category. 5.Paaneeyamu-పానీయము: Food items that are to be drank. Water, buttermilk, fruit juices come under this category. Thus ‘Pancha bhakshyamulu ‘ isdone, what is ‘paramAnnam’?. It means ‘rice pudding-rice boiled in milk withsugar in solid state. Q6 Why is there higher risk of genetic abnormalities inchildren whose parents are siblings? Is there something unique with the humanDNA that causes us to be more predisposed to genetic abnormalities compared toother animal species? A6 Claire Jordan Degree inbiology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper May 1 No, it happens in all species with sexualreproduction and paired chromosomes. In mammals like us, all genetically normal individuals have two copies ofeach type of chromosome, exceptfor the sex chromosomes in males - one copy from each parent. Thatmeans that, leaving aside the sex chromosomes in males, we also have two copiesof each gene - one from each parent. Each gene comes in manydifferent variants, called alleles. Each allele produces slightly differenteffects, but many are recessive, meaning that they only have a noticeableeffect if you have two of the same allele - one from eachparent. Sometimes, the effect of having two of a particular allele is fairlyharmless, such as having white fur, but sometimes it’s very harmful - such ashaving cystic fibrosis. If your parents are closelyrelated, they will be a lot more genetically similar than two strangers wouldbe. That increases the chance that you will get twomatching copies of the same allele for any given gene: and therefore the chancethat you will get two copies of a harmful recessive allele. Q7 Why and when did 'I will' replace 'I shall' in BritishEnglish? A7 Chris Young Nativespeaker and have studied history Apr 4 When I was a kid in the 1950/60s, both were regarded as correct, but theymeant different things. When I was about 10, I had an English teacher who had aknack of phrasing lessons in ways that any child would remember. On the will/shall question heoffered the example: “I will die and nobody shall save me.” This meant, more or less, “I intend to die and I forbid anybody to keepme alive.” The counter-example was: “I shall die and nobody will save me.” This meant, roughly, “Oh dear, I'm dying and there's nobody around whocan keep me alive.” If you just want to describesomething that's going to happen, you say I/we shall; you/she/he/it/they will. But if you want to convey strongintentionality, you say I/we will; you/she/he/it/they shall. I still tend to make this distinction, but I recognise that it's on theway out. Q8 If human beings evolved from apes according to the theory ofevolution, why have other apes stopped evolving? A8 Evolution andCreationism Answered by Claire Jordan Apr 18 This is one of the commonesterrors that people who don’t understand biology make - they think thatevolving somehow means “becoming human”. It doesn’t mean “becoming human” anymore than it means “becoming a mantis shrimp”. It meansbecoming better-adapted to having surviving fertile offspring in theenvironment in which you currently live. Becoming human happened to be agood way of increasing long-term survival for a group of apes who moved outinto the African savannah seven million years ago (because humans are a type of great ape). But theirclose cousins stayed in the dense jungle and they evolved into chimps andbonobos, because that was what increased their survivival in the deep jungle. Current thinking is that ourmost recent common ancestor with the chimps and bonobos was a bit morehuman-like than chimp-like, in that it was already mosatly bipedal, and chimps then evolved to become quadrupedsbecause that was better suited to getting about in dense undergrowth. Thatmeans that chimpshave arguably progressed further from our most recent common ancestor than wehave, in that they are more different from that ancestor than we are.But they went on a different route from us, towards a different destination.And even so, chimps are showing signs of entering their own early Stone Age.
