Researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking study indicating that the sound of a person’s voice could potentially become a key factor in diagnosing type 2 diabetes. The study, conducted by scientists, introduces a new method that utilizes voice recordings to accurately screen individuals for diabetes, all within a span of six to ten seconds.

Voice Analysis for Diabetes Detection

A team of researchers at Klick Applied Sciences crafted a highly accurate tool by analyzing short voice clips from participants, some with diabetes and others without, recorded through their smartphones. The study revealed that alterations in pitch and voice strength played a significant role in diagnosing diabetes.

Source: Diabetes UK

With the aid of a smartphone application, 267 participants in India—comprising 192 individuals without diabetes and 75 diagnosed with diabetes—recorded short voice clips multiple times a day for two weeks. Through detailed analysis of 18,465 recordings, 14 distinct acoustic characteristics were measured, enabling the creation of a precise tool for identifying diabetes.

Gender-Specific Diagnostic Indicators

The study found that distinct voice characteristics signified type 2 diabetes differently in men and women. Changes in pitch were crucial for diagnosing diabetes in women, whereas variations in voice strength or amplitude were key indicators for men.

How AI Enables Diagnosis

Lead author Jaycee M. Kaufman emphasized the use of AI and machine learning techniques, which enabled the detection of subtle vocal changes indicative of type 2 diabetes. The tool developed by Klick Applied Sciences exhibited an impressive accuracy of 0.89 for women and 0.86 for men in diagnosing diabetes.

Potential Implications and Future Directions

Kaufman highlighted the significance of this advancement, envisioning a future where individuals could perform initial diabetes screening at home using such technology. Confirmatory diagnosis would then be sought from healthcare providers if an initial risk is detected.

Experts not involved in the study, like Dr. Ari S. Eckman and Dr. Jason Ng, emphasized the potential value of this tool in tracking diabetes progression and simplifying patient diagnoses. Dr. Ng stressed the necessity for innovative screening tools due to limited access to healthcare, while Dr. Eckman highlighted its potential in assessing diabetes control and health progress.

The Promise of Digital Medicine

Kaufman expressed enthusiasm about the impact of this study on early detection and intervention for type 2 diabetes, potentially reducing complications associated with undiagnosed diabetes. She underscored the profound effect such technology could have on accessibility challenges related to screening.

This groundbreaking study heralds a new era in healthcare, showcasing the power of technology and voice analysis in revolutionizing the diagnosis and management of type 2 diabetes. The advancements in digital medicine hold promise for early detection, intervention, and improved accessibility in diabetes care.

New Hajj Policy 2024: Here Are All The Details

By
Usman Kashmirwala

Pakistani pilgrims gearing up for the sacred journey of Haj have received heartening news, as the Caretaker Federal Minister for Religious Affairs, Dr. Aneeq Ahmed, declared a noteworthy reduction in government expenses for this spiritual undertaking. In a bid to offer uncompromised facilities without burdening pilgrims financially, the government has slashed Haj expenses by Rs0.1 million.

Suitcases and National Flag Scarfs

The announcement brings a ray of hope for pilgrims, as they will now be provided with added amenities and support during their pilgrimage. One of the standout provisions is the allocation of a 30kg suitcase for each pilgrim, ensuring they can carry necessary belongings without worry. Notably, female pilgrims will receive special scarfs (abaya) adorned with the national flag, a unique gesture aimed at promoting national identity and pride among the pilgrims, marking the first-time inclusion of such a provision.

Speaking at a press conference held at the Haji Camp Karachi, Dr. Ahmed shed light on the introduction of a mobile application designed to assist and guide pilgrims throughout their journey. This innovative app will provide navigation aid and ensure constant communication between pilgrims and relevant officials. Initially available in English and Urdu, the app will later include various regional languages, catering to a wider audience and facilitating ease of access for all pilgrims.

Karachi and Islamabad in Road to Makkah

Furthermore, efforts have been made to streamline the Haj process. Karachi and Islamabad have been integrated into Saudi Arabia’s Road to Makkah project, allowing the Karachi airport to handle immigration procedures for pilgrims. This strategic inclusion aims to expedite and simplify the journey for Pakistani pilgrims.

Dr. Ahmed emphasized the government’s endeavor to make Haj financially accessible for citizens by introducing a 20-day short Haj package. Additionally, plans are underway to accommodate Pakistani pilgrims in tents at Old Mina, addressing challenges posed by the distance to New Mina.

Financial Accessibility

With a commitment to pilgrim welfare, Dr. Ahmed assured oversight of private Haj operators, who will manage half of the secured 179,000 Haj seats. The Ministry of Religious Affairs will monitor these operators, holding them accountable for ensuring pilgrim safety and comfort throughout their journey.

As the government continues renovation work at the Haji Camp Karachi, Dr. Ahmed reiterated their dedication to enhancing pilgrimage facilities. However, it’s crucial to note that the announced package excludes qurbani (sacrifice) expenses during the Haj.

Additionally, intending pilgrims opting for a shorter stay in Medina will benefit from a further reduction of Rs 35,000 in Haj expenses. These measures underscore the government’s commitment to facilitating a spiritually enriching Haj experience while alleviating financial burdens for Pakistani pilgrims.

instagram feature and new rollout

Instagram is one of the most expansive social media applications of all time. In fact, a lot of people prefer using it instead of Facebook due to the content it offers. It can be much better to show a pictorial or a video representation of something rather than just updating one’s own status. Even the Instagram application itself is more user friendly and accommodating than most of the other social media apps.

One of the best things about this application is how it caters to the content each user views. Its recommendation system is quite superior to other apps, as it can capture exactly the type of content you watch. If you watch a few videos or pictures on automobiles, the recommendation system is going to be catered to give you similar videos and pictures.

Instagram New Feature

According to sources, a new feature has just been rolled out to the public. Earlier in the year, it was released just in the United States, but has now been released globally. You might often come across reels on Instagram that you wish you could keep with you always. You wish you could view them offline again and again or share them with friends. According to the new update, you can now download reels to your camera roll.

Yes, if the reel you are viewing belongs to a public account, it can be downloaded and saved to your camera roll. Once it is saved in your camera roll, it is going to contain the watermark of the handle of the creator, to make sure there is no theft of content. This sounds like quite an interesting feature that must be explored.

Technology Keeps Moving

Of course, one must keep the security aspect of this feature in mind. If a public account of a person below 18 is active, its option to download will be turned off. However, it can be turned on the privacy settings. Similarly, if an account changes its status from public to private, all its future reels will not be available for download.

We hope that you are able to test this feature on your application as soon as you update it. We are seeing more and more updates on these applications everyday and would love to see more.

Toyota Vs Mitsubishi – Passo Or Mirage?

By

Passo and other cars
Image Source: elrizk.com

There are quite a lot of options in Pakistan when it comes to buying a hatchback. The reason for that is the preference of many people to go for Hatchbacks in Karachi. Due to the traffic situation here, it is better to have a car that can easily snake its way through traffic and have a nice fuel average alongside. That said, there are many companies out to produce newer hatchbacks each year. Toyota and Mitsubishi are two companies who have certainly released their fair share of vehicles.

While the latter may not be as known in Pakistan, the former is a household name. The Toyota Corolla is a car that has been in families for generations. There are people present who just want to buy a Corolla, and are always waiting for a newer model! Now, if a buyer had a choice between Toyota Passo and Mitsubishi Mirage, which one would they rather go for?

Performance and Comfort

When it comes to performance, the Toyota Passo is known to take the cake often. Be it the first generation or the third one, the Passo radiates the essence of performance. It might not have as high a fuel average in the city as the Mitsubishi Mirage, but it gives an immense amount of performance on any kind of distance.

You could load it with 5 people and the speedometer would still touch 120 km/h without breaking a sweat. It provides more comfort and has a plethora of features. On the other hand, while the Mitsubishi Mirage certainly gives a higher fuel average, it compromises on performance. There have been known issues of the vehicles in terms of transmission and safety, in the past.

Spare Parts and Resale

These are two of the most important factors to consider when buying a car today. The Toyota Passo has quite a wide market for spare parts. Eventhough it is also an import, it has been present in Pakistan for quite a long time, with each generation having its fair share. Thus, there is no lack of availability and the car has a decent resale due to being a hatchback.

In contrast, while the Mirage is also an import, it has entered Pakistan only recently. Due to this, it has a low resale, on account of people not wanting to buy it. This is because of the lack of spare parts and expensive maintenance. People with this car who have made repairs needed, have had to wait months just for a single part to arrive from abroad.

The Verdict

While the fuel average of the Mirage is much higher than that of the Passo, that is not the only factor to be kept in mind. It is also important to note that spare parts and performance also have a major hand in purchasing a car. You don’t want to buy a car and get stuck with it either because its not selling or there’s no parts to repair it with.

The year 2023 can easily be termed as the year of weddings in Pakistan cricket, with key players from the national squad tying the knot in the year with two more to come before the new year.

Left-handed batsman Imam-ul-Haq is all set for his upcoming wedding in November. Meanwhile, the celebrations are also in full swing for another Pakistani cricketer Faheem Ashraf.

Faheem recently celebrated his Mehndi ceremony in his hometown of Phool Nagar, located in Punjab’s district of Kasur. The event saw the presence of Faheem’s close friends and family members.

Reportedly, the pace bowling allrounder is scheduled to tie the knot on the same date as Imam, which is Saturday (November 25). Their valima ceremonies are planned for November 26, each in different locations.

Faheem’s wedding will take place in Narowal, while the valima reception will be held in his hometown, Phool Nagar.

The cricketer had announced his engagement earlier this year, a detail disclosed by his close friend and Islamabad United teammate, Hassan Ali, in August.

Faheem Ashraf has represented Pakistan in 16 Tests, 34 ODIs, and 48 T20Is. He made his debut in T20Is and ODIs back in 2017, while his Test debut followed in 2018.

Both Imam-ul-Haq and Faheem Ashraf are set to participate in the upcoming Test series against Australia. They are expected to join the squad in Lahore on November 30, just before their departure.

However, they have been granted permission to skip the entire training camp for the series due to their wedding festivities.

Aalia Rasheed, the Director of Media at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), addressed concerns raised during the ICC World Cup 2023 after the PCB released a press release regarding Babar Azam and Inzamam-ul-Haq’s role in team selection.

The aforementioned press release came out amidst criticism following Pakistan’s unexpected loss to Afghanistan.

In a released statement, the board extended support to Captain Babar Azam and Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq, emphasizing that triumphs and setbacks are inherent in the game. The press release also underscored the duo’s autonomy in composing the squad for the ICC World Cup 2023, echoing sentiments expressed by former cricketers.

Aalia Rasheed clarified the PCB’s position, emphasizing that the board never placed blame on Babar Azam for the team’s losses.

“Let me be clear, the PCB never criticized Babar Azam or the team during the World Cup. There was no attempt to hold Azam accountable for the losses,” Aalia Rasheed clarified in a conversation with a local media outlet. “While Babar is a respected player and possesses an independent nature, it’s crucial to consider recommendations from other selection committee members for a balanced decision-making process.”

Regarding the selection process, Rasheed pointed out that the press release accurately stated that both Inzamam and Azam had chosen the team. “He [Babar Azam] wasn’t willing to compromise on any player, and the board backed his decisions,” Rasheed clarified, affirming the truth in that statement.

Responding to queries about the potential removal of Azam from the team, Rasheed dismissed such suggestions firmly. “Babar is an outstanding player, an all-time great. History has shown that greatness as a player doesn’t always translate into captaincy prowess. Look at legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli,” she added, highlighting instances where top players faced challenges as captains.

Khaqan Shahnawaz On Making More Money With Content Creation

Pakistani actor Khaqan Shahnawaz has taken a dig at content creators in a recent interview where he delved into the intricacies of content creation and industry norms.

Speaking with Fuchsia, the College Gate star was counting his blessings and his privileges in the industry, which prompted a discussion on the distinction between actors and television stars, and ultimately, how significant education is for social media stars.

“An educated content creator will always make more money and better content,” Khaqan said as he clarified that this doesn’t necessarily refer to formal school syllabuses, emphasising the value of self-driven education through reading books.

While acknowledging that degrees are not the sole indicator of education, he recognised the significance of institutions in shaping upbringing and socialisation.

The actor also spoke of fair opportunities, where he mentioned the privileges that got him successful in the acting industry.

“I have the best gift of all—a genetic gift that I look this way. Who will deny that being conventionally good looking won’t help? He highlighted the global advantages of being conventionally good-looking, tall, broad, and possessing green eyes, attributing a portion of his success to his physical attributes.

In acknowledging the industry’s preference for stars over actors, Shahnawaz said, “They cast stars as leads, not actors.” While acknowledging that some stars excel in acting and vice versa, he highlighted the importance of a holistic package for success in the industry.

“There will always be actors who perform better than me, but what gets me work is my social media following and my pretty face and I can speak and be the way I am, and I have got charisma and maybe they don’t,” Khaqan went on.

While doubling down on good looks, He iterated how ‘what you say’ can have an impact on your success, offering more perspective on the kind of content being created today.

“My work will always be underestimated for my opinions, not my looks. People who have a preconceived notion of who I am as a person will underestimate me as a person and will say Khaqan is here because of how he looks. And it’s not because of how I look, it’s because of who they think I am as a person, if anyone hates me, they will hate me for my opinions, not for the way I look.”

“Some Pakistani Players Can’t Digest My Success”, Says Mohammed Shami

pakistan-players-cant-digest-my-success-says-mohammed-shami

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has pushed back against conspiracy theories regarding ball changes that circulated among former Pakistan cricketers during the ICC World Cup 2023.

Shami, the highest wicket-taker in the tournament, claimed 24 wickets in seven games with a remarkable average of 10.70.

He missed out on earlier games, however, he remained a mainstay of the Indian Playing XI after Hardik Pandya was injured during the match against Bangladesh.

Shami returned with two five-wicket hauls in the first three matches at the ICC World Cup 2023.

Amid India’s clash with Sri Lanka at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, where Shami dismantled Sri Lanka with figures of 5-18 from five overs, former Pakistani cricketer Hasan Raza voiced suspicions of ball changing on a Pakistan news channel.

He suggested that the balls provided to India might differ; potentially aiding them in generating more swing and seam.

“Here I feel like the ball is getting changed mid-innings the way it is behaving. Whether it is the ICC that is providing the balls, or the umpires panel, or the BCCI, there should be an inspection on it. I think the balls should be checked,” Raza said.

Reacting to these comments, Mohammed Shami expressed dismay in an interview after the World Cup. He defended his performance, stating, “I wasn’t playing [initially]. When I played, I took a five-for, then a four-for in the next game, then another five-for. Now what can I do if a few Pakistan players can’t digest this fact?” said Shami.

“Because in their minds, they think they are the best. Best are those who perform at the right time. Those who work hard, perform, and stand up for the team, they are the best according to me.”

Shami criticized the controversies surrounding alleged ball disparities, urging critics to refrain from baseless accusations like “You have been given a different coloured ball,” or “ICC has given you separate balls.”

Addressing the discourse, cricketing legend Wasim Akram also debunked the theories, condemning the shame brought onto Pakistan by such allegations.

Shami praised Wasim Akram and highlighted his clarification, pointing out that despite explanations on ball selection, the comments persisted.

“The same thing was explained in an interview by Wasim [Akram] bhai. How balls arrive in a box, how they are chosen, which team chooses first. Even then!” said Shami.

“This would be understandable if you’re not a player who has played at this level. But you’re an ex-player. If you talk like this, I don’t think people will have anything else to say other than laughing at you. I accept that I might be a bit harsh, but I have to speak out for such things.”

He acknowledged being direct but stressed the importance of speaking out against baseless assertions.

Can A Charger Of Higher Wattage Damage Your Laptop?

When it comes to dealing with technology, there are quite a lot of myths that form over time. While there may be some form of truth in them, there is always some type of misunderstanding involved. When mobile phones first came out, people were discouraged to not pick calls when they were on a charger. This is because the phones of that time had batteries that could explode on such a load.

However, this is not the case with modern smartphones but people still say you cannot pick a call while it is charging. In modern smartphones, the phone itself cuts off the charging supply when fully charged, even when plugged in. Similarly, there is a myth that often circulates around laptops and chargers. People say that it is not recommended to charge a laptop with a higher wattage charger, it can damage the laptop. Let us tell you why this is not true.

a laptop charging and damage on wattage
Image Source: idropnews.com

Charger Ratings

When it comes to charging, the unit of measure that is kept the most in perspective is the voltage of the charger and the input of the laptop. In most instances, the input voltage and the charger rated voltage is 12V. This is 12V DC and is applicable on most laptops. Imagine that a laptop charger is rated at 12V 60 watts, and that is the charger you usually charge with.

If you lose the charger somewhere and the only option available is a charger with a higher wattage, maybe 100 watt or 150 watt, then should you use it? The myth states that you cannot but we are here to tell you that you can. In fact, a laptop will charge faster with a higher wattage charger since the charger has a higher capacity. If the voltage is different on the second charger, however, you should not use it on the laptop. That can definitely damage the laptop or its battery.

Busting Myths

We hope that this does make it more clear as to what affects the health of the laptop. The wattage is not of concern here, it is always the voltage. If the rated voltage is 12V, then a 12V charger must be used as an alternate. However, if the voltage is different, we will not recommend using it.

-

Pakistani TikToker Sehar Hayat and her husband Sami Rasheed just announced they are expecting.

The announcement came in a video message where they got candid about their experience of dealing with pregnancy-induced mood swings as Sami went on to say that a good husband can feel everything his partner his going through. He added that he’d even name the video “We’re pregnant” since they’re both in this together.

He detailed how he now immerses himself in researching pregnancy-related topics at night, deviating from his usual content consumption.

However, the announcement faced unexpected backlash from netizens, questioning the couple’s intentions behind the video.

The Responses:

Some criticised Sami for implying superiority over other husbands, accusing him of taking undue credit for Sehar’s pregnancy.

 

Criticism extended to cultural beliefs, with one user questioning the couple’s decision to publicly share the news, citing cultural norms that advise against such announcements to ward off potential jinxing.

 

Scrutiny reached Sehar’s posture in the video, with accusations of indecency as she sat with one leg crossed over the other. Despite being fully clothed, some netizens deemed it inappropriate for a ‘mother’ to sit in such a manner.

 

Amidst the criticism, some users defended Sami’s perspective, urging others to avoid unnecessary drama.

 

However, a suggestion surfaced that the couple could have taken a noncontroversial approach by simply stating “we’re expecting” instead of using the phrase “we’re pregnant.”

 

Do you think the backlash to Sehar Hayat’s video justified? Let us know in the comments.

Adnan Siddiqui in his latest podcast shed the light on infamous dialogue by Khalil ur Rehman and his role in Mere Pass Tum Ho.

Adnan Siddiqui’s Statement 

‘Mere Pass Tum Ho’ was a highly acclaimed drama that put Khalil ur Rehman on the spot. The dialogue from the drama ‘do takay ki aurat’ received major flack where the audience’s sentiments were hurt and later the writer shared his stance on his need to come up with something so bizarre.

Recently in a podcast, Adnan Siddiqui shared his stance on the dialogue and the actor says, that it was not directed to women in general but to the character ‘Mehwish’ in the drama specifically. While talking about the characters Mehwish and Shehwar and why they felt the need to go down the route of infidelity, Adnan mentioned that both the characters were to blame for what went down.

‘I don’t want to get trapped in this controversy, however, I’ll clear one thing out. Mehwish and Shehwar are to be blamed equally. A man who is madly in love with a woman, trying to do everything for her, and despite everything, she strays away from him, what else would he have had to say given the whole scenario?’

‘Let’s stick to this scenario and don’t drag it out. This situation and dialogue were for Mehwish and Mehwish only. There is no need to attach other things with it.’ He concluded.

WhatsApp Is Testing Phone-Free Emergency Login Feature

In a recent development, WhatsApp is testing an alternative login method to assist users in emergency situations when access to their phones may be limited. This innovative approach allows individuals to access their accounts by entering their email address, introducing a potential lifeline during connectivity issues or when cellular service is unavailable.

iOS Update Unveils Email-Based Login

This groundbreaking update, presently available for iOS users, was revealed by WABetaInfo and is not yet officially announced by Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp. The new feature allows iPhone owners to log in by inputting their email address, subsequently receiving a six-digit code to gain access to their accounts. This method serves as a backup, notably helpful when users find themselves without cellular service and unable to receive the typical text message code.

It’s important to note that this email-based login method is solely intended as a backup. Creating a new WhatsApp account will still require a phone number, while logging in with a phone number remains an available option. Moreover, for privacy concerns, emails used for login purposes will not be visible to others, ensuring added security for users.

Accessing the Feature and Platform Expansion

To access this feature, iPhone users must update their WhatsApp to version 23.24.70 and navigate to the Settings tab, where the email login option will be available under the Account section. As of now, it remains uncertain if this update will extend to Android devices.

This latest update aligns with Meta’s ongoing efforts to bolster WhatsApp’s security measures throughout the year 2023. The service has witnessed the introduction of several security enhancements, including the Protect IP Address tool and support for passkeys, designed to fortify user privacy. Furthermore, WhatsApp plans to introduce usernames on Android devices, providing an additional layer of privacy for those hesitant to share their real names. Although the rollout date remains undisclosed, these features are in development, underscoring WhatsApp’s commitment to user security and privacy.

Enhancing Accessibility in Critical Moments

While applications like WhatsApp continually prioritize security, this recent innovation highlights their proactive approach in ensuring accessibility during critical moments. The introduction of an emergency login method signifies a pivotal step towards enabling users to maintain connectivity even in challenging circumstances, demonstrating WhatsApp’s dedication to user-centric solutions and enhancing overall user experience.
