The usually formal convocation ceremonies at universities have turned a platform for Ph.D. students to express their angst in recent months. On October 28, while receiving his degree at Bharathidasan University’s 39th convocation in Tiruchi, F. Israel Inbaraj presented a petition, complaining about the treatment meted out to research scholars, to Governor-Chancellor R.N. Ravi. The incident caused a flutter, as media teams mobbed Mr. Inbaraj after the ceremony seeking details. Talking to the The Hindu, Mr. Inbaraj, a Chennai-based management professional, said the “complete disregard for human rights” by some of the university research section staff and guides had made him pen the note. “I applied for a Ph.D. in Human Resource Management in 2017, but was able to get my degree only after six years. Though I was fortunate to have a supportive guide, there are many others who have been left high and dry in the recent past. I decided to present a petition to the Governor-Chancellor to inform him of what was happening to research scholars at the university,” said Mr. Inbaraj. On October 13, A. Prakash, a Ph.D. scholar at Bharathiyar University, Coimbatore, handed a complaint to the Governor at the convocation. “At the time of the viva [voce], the research scholars are advised by some guides to shell out ₹50,000-₹1 lakh. Some scholars are being compelled to offer money, food, and gold to guides after the exam is completed successfully,” he said in the letter, highlighting the other alleged regulatory lapses at the university. “I was tired of seeing the inaction over the exploitation of research scholars by some guides and used the public forum to voice my concerns. Though my action grabbed headlines, there has been no change on the ground,” Mr. Prakash said. But the tide seems to have turned in favour of the scholars. This week, the Additional Chief Secretary to the Tamil Nadu government issued a note to the Registrars of all the universities to take immediate steps to stop the harassment of research scholars by their guides. “An online reporting mechanism may be put in place so that the research scholars can report their grievances and immediate action [can be taken] to redress them,” said the note. Culture of exploitation According to the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) report for 2020-21, Tamil Nadu had the highest number of Ph.D. scholars (3,206) that academic year. Making Ph.D. mandatory for senior teaching positions at colleges and universities has led to more students taking up research. Interestingly, it was reported recently that the University Grants Commission (UGC) plans to alter the eligibility rules in favour of candidates who hold a strong interest in fields like start-ups, entrepreneurship, and industrial collaborations. In other words, earning a Ph.D. may no longer be compulsory for faculty appointments. But unless the UGC makes a definitive announcement, the toxicity of the Indian doctoral research arena will continue to grow, say observers. The relationship between research scholars and their guides at Indian universities often appears feudal. Running errands for the guides is an accepted practice among research scholars. A Ph.D. scholar of Periyar University in Salem said, “Students who are unable to satisfy their guide’s financial demands will have to take on chores for them like grocery shopping, chauffeuring, and babysitting. A faculty member demanded that his students buy lunch for him every day.” Guides help students who comply with their demands in getting their papers published in research journals and clear their thesis, he added. Today, a sovereign of gold is commonly expected, and given. There are guides who demand a gold coin for each of the two Doctoral Committees convened during the course. At times, scholars with an approved Ph.D. may still be expected to pay an additional bribe of ₹1 lakh-₹2 lakh when their work is signed, said a management professor from a college affiliated to Anna University. Then, there are experts who come for the Ph.D. panel with their families and demand freebies, the cost of which again has to be borne by the student. “An expert from Chennai came to Coimbatore with the whole family and asked for a tour to Ooty!” said the professor. A Ph.D. scholar of Media Studies at Madurai Kamaraj University said that in his third year of research, his guide, the senior-most professor of the department, had hardly allowed him to work on his research topic. “I used to work on presentations and collect inputs for my guide’s research work. Even when I wanted to take time off to spend time on my research, he would blatantly refuse and ask me to do it after the work hours,” he added. A silent conspiracy Prabhu Panneerselvam enrolled for Ph.D. at Bharathidasan University’s Department of Commerce and Financial Studies (2024-29) and then quit because of the issues he had faced with his guide. Among the things he was allegedly forced to do for her were buying lunch and parking her two-wheeler using its double stand every day. “Some of the other scholars are treated like slaves and have been made to edit her curriculum vitae and prepare citations and presentations for her own personal work,” he claimed. When contacted, the guide refuted Mr. Panneerselvam’s allegations. “I thought we had a normal guide and scholar relationship, based on mutual respect. He seems to have misunderstood the situation. All our research students are treated like family,” the academic said. But it seems the pressure to please guides has pushed some scholars beyond endurance. In November 2023, Sachin Kumar Jain, a 31-year-old Ph.D. scholar at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M), took his own life. His brother Bhavesh Jain had written a six-page letter to IIT Director V. Kamakoti, alleging that his brother was under “undue pressure” from his Ph.D. guide Ashish Kumar Sen. The professor was suspended after an inquiry committee found him responsible for the student’s death. Another research scholar in Salem said Ph.D. students are treated like school children at Periyar University. “We have to mark attendance in the morning and the evening. Research departments should be allowed to function throughout the day, but, here, all the rooms are locked after 5.15 p.m. Ph.D. students have to do more field work because of the limited resources,” the scholar said. A Coimbatore-based academic who had also been a Syndicate member at Bharathiyar University blamed the current situation on a system that “focuses on creating a record of work”. Teachers are burdened with clerical chores, especially in computerisation of academic papers. “There is no teaching or research any more; the focus is on creating a record of work. The rat race to publish and linking increments to publications puts pressure,” he said. However, in rare instances, there are supervisors who spend money for their students. “I know one in Erode, who pays the fees for his researchers,” he added. Publishing articles in journals approved by the UGC-Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics (UGC-CARE) is a thorny issue because of its arbitrary nature. “Take, for instance, Anna University’s annexure I list of journals in which publication is mandatory. Almost all journals listed here are publications that demand money from the scholar, and some of them are dubious. The list has skipped Vikalpa, the prestigious journal of Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A), but has included some other random publications,” said a professor. With the performance index of the faculty being dependent upon the articles being printed in these journals (according to National Assessment and Accreditation Council rules) and scholars needing them for their Ph.D. course, the cost of publication is usually borne by the latter. The published paper bears the name of the supervisor as the second author. The demand for Scorpus journal publications is unreasonable for humanities, said researchers. “Universities have their own list of publications that are not even mandated by the UGC-CARE, needlessly adding to the financial burden of the scholars,” added a professor of English. The rush for publication has created a grey market wherein “research paper mills” that print in return for payment prosper. “Nowadays, you come across agents looking for Ph.D. candidates. I often get calls from some agents in Nagercoil asking me to accept a scholar, with the assurance that they will write the thesis and I will just have to clear it,” said a professor. Independent researchers (who work without a guide until thesis submission) are not better off either. “There was a time when I had submitted a paper online, and within seconds, I got a message saying that it had been accepted, without any scrutiny,” said a professor, who had completed her Ph.D. in 2014, after starting her work in 2009. “I chose to do an independent Ph.D. because I had heard a lot about the toxic research space, demands for payment, and harassment faced by women scholars,” she said. However, at the time of submission and allocation of a supervisor at the end of submission, she had to pay ₹1.5 lakh to the ‘guide’. The practice of guides receiving gold coins, gifts, and money from the candidates as a “mark of gratitude” is all too common, said T. Veeramani, principal, Government College for Women, Coimbatore, and former State president of Government College Teachers’ Association. A professor of English in Coimbatore, who regularly supervises students, flags how colleges restrict staff payments. “Ph.D. students pay a fee to the college, but the remuneration is not paid to the supervisor. Often, an external examiner from an international university will demand $1,500 for adjudication of a thesis. The university allocates only $100, the balance has to be paid up by the scholar,” says the professor. Hosting external examiners adds to the expenses, even if universities are willing to bear the cost. “It leads to the fee for the Ph.D programmes getting drastically hiked. Unfortunately, the problem is here to stay,” Professor Veeramani said. Lack of integrity There can be no quick-fix solution to the malady, said academics. The integrity of the external examiner invariably becomes suspect when they accept the elaborate hospitality of the candidate. “As though the deterioration in the quality of research is not enough, the personal corruption precipitates the decline,” said P.K. Ponnuswamy, former Vice-Chancellor of Madras and Madurai Kamaraj Universities. “The exploitation has existed for ages; perhaps, only the range has changed over the years. It is unfortunate that the corrupt have become bolder and are not bothered even by student suicides,” said E. Balagurusamy, former Vice-Chancellor of Anna University. While news headlines focus on the plight of male candidates, the condition of women research scholars is more precarious, Professor Balagurusamy said. “Guides have been known to demand sexual favours from their women scholars for processing the paperwork. The victims’ plea for help often goes unheard, because women are expected to ‘adjust’ themselves to the situation if they want their degree,” he added. Professor Balagurusamy, an advisor to the Confederation of Indian Private Universities, said playing fast and loose with the rules would affect the quality of research in the long run. “When guides are taking money for everything, they will not be worried about the quality of their scholars’ submissions. Reputation matters only to those with integrity,” he said. (With inputs from R. Krishnamoorthy in Coimbatore, P. V. Srividya in Krishnagiri, M. Sabari in Salem, and Palanivel Rajan in Madurai.)

A melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level Media

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Rentokil Initial plc (RTO)Unlike scores of people who scrambled for the blockbuster drugs Ozempic and Wegovy to lose weight in recent years, Danielle Griffin had no trouble getting them. The 38-year-old information technology worker from New Mexico had a prescription. Her pharmacy had the drugs in stock. And her health insurance covered all but $25 to $50 of the monthly cost. For Griffin, the hardest part of using the new drugs wasn’t access. It was finding out that the much-hyped medications didn’t really work for her. “I have been on Wegovy for a year and a half and have only lost 13 pounds,” said Griffin, who watches her diet, drinks plenty of water and exercises regularly. “I’ve done everything right with no success. It’s discouraging.” In clinical trials, most participants taking Wegovy or Mounjaro to treat obesity lost an average of 15% to 22% of their body weight — up to 50 pounds or more in many cases. But roughly 10% to 15% of patients in those trials were “nonresponders” who lost less than 5% of their body weight. Now that millions of people have used the drugs, several obesity experts told The Associated Press that perhaps 20% of patients — as many as 1 in 5 — may not respond well to the medications. It’s a little-known consequence of the obesity drug boom, according to doctors who caution eager patients not to expect one-size-fits-all results. “It’s all about explaining that different people have different responses,” said Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, an obesity expert at Massachusetts General Hospital The drugs are known as GLP-1 receptor agonists because they mimic a hormone in the body known as glucagon-like peptide 1. Genetics, hormones and variability in how the brain regulates energy can all influence weight — and a person’s response to the drugs, Stanford said. Medical conditions such as sleep apnea can prevent weight loss, as can certain common medications, such as antidepressants, steroids and contraceptives. “This is a disease that stems from the brain,” said Stanford. “The dysfunction may not be the same” from patient to patient. Despite such cautions, patients are often upset when they start getting the weekly injections but the numbers on the scale barely budge. “It can be devastating,” said Dr. Katherine Saunders, an obesity expert at Weill Cornell Medicine and co-founder of the obesity treatment company FlyteHealth. “With such high expectations, there’s so much room for disappointment.” That was the case for Griffin, who has battled obesity since childhood and hoped to shed 70 pounds using Wegovy. The drug helped reduce her appetite and lowered her risk of diabetes, but she saw little change in weight. “It’s an emotional roller coaster,” she said. “You want it to work like it does for everybody else.” The medications are typically prescribed along with eating behavior and lifestyle changes. It’s usually clear within weeks whether someone will respond to the drugs, said Dr. Jody Dushay, an endocrine specialist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Weight loss typically begins right away and continues as the dosage increases. For some patients, that just doesn’t happen. For others, side effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea force them to halt the medications, Dushay said. In such situations, patients who were counting on the new drugs to pare pounds may think they’re out of options. “I tell them: It’s not game over,” Dushay said. Trying a different version of the new class of drugs may help. Griffin, who didn’t respond well to Wegovy, has started using Zepbound, which targets an additional hormone pathway in the body. After three months of using the drug, she has lost 7 pounds. “I’m hoping it’s slow and steady,” she said. Other people respond well to older drugs, the experts said. Changing diet, exercise, sleep and stress habits can also have profound effects. Figuring out what works typically requires a doctor trained to treat obesity, Saunders noted. “Obesity is such a complex disease that really needs to be treated very comprehensively,” she said. “If what we’re prescribing doesn’t work, we always have a backup plan.”

Video of postgame encounter between Luke Fickell, Donovan Raiola circulates online Courthouse lighting ceremony planned for Sunday Most popular dog breeds in the US and the states where they're #1 Most popular dog breeds in the US and the states where they're #1 From bags of kibble in the grocery store to modern home sizes, things are getting smaller—and evidently, Americans are starting to look for furry friends that match. Small breeds like terriers and toys have largely dethroned the retrievers that once dominated the most popular breed rankings. This is a continuation of a trend that began in 2022 when the Labrador retriever lost its 31-year-long streak as #1 to the French bulldog, according to the American Kennel Club. This shift may be partially attributable to the rising costs of pet products and veterinary care since smaller dogs are more economical for tighter budgets. Moreover, as remote work and nomadic living become increasingly more common, smaller dogs may appeal to those looking for pets that require less space and are easier to transport. In fact, only two sporting dog breeds are the most popular in any American state—and neither is a Labrador retriever. The most popular dog overall represents 4% of all dogs in the country—constituting over 2.3 million out of 58 million households with dogs. Ollie used data from U.S. News & World Report to further explore which dog breeds are the most popular in which states and what factors may drive residents' preferences. Chihuahua Named after the northern Mexican state from which it originates, the Chihuahua is the smallest dog breed and one of the oldest, with a lineage that dates as far back as the ninth century. Today, the breed makes up a remarkable 4% of all dogs in the United States and is the most popular overall in 21 states. It ranks within the top five most common breeds in 42 states in total. Requiring just 200 to 250 calories per day but boasting a lifespan of 14 to 16 years, the Chihuahua offers owners low-cost longevity and is known for its adaptability and amusing personality. French bulldog The French bulldog is a compact companion known for being friendly yet quiet, making it suitable for a range of lifestyles and homes. The breed has roots in the English bulldog, which was bred to a smaller size to accompany its working English owners, many of whom were artisans. As such trades closed amid the Industrial Revolution, these workers and their little bulldogs moved to France, where the breed's popularity began. The French developed a more standardized appearance which was iterated upon in the U.S. to develop the iconic bat ears. The breed has recently seen a massive increase in popularity, with AKC registrations surging by 1,000% between 2012 and 2022. Now, the French bulldog is the most popular dog in Florida, California, and Hawaii and is in the top five most common dogs in nearly half the remaining states. Golden retriever With webbed paws and an affinity for water, golden retrievers are lucky pups to be the favored breed of the Midwest. They are the most popular dogs in states bordering the Great Lakes—Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio; the entirety of the New England region minus Rhode Island; plus North Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, and Virginia. The iconic golden breed was developed in 19th-century Scotland to retrieve both from land and water during hunts, hence its swimming-related adaptations. Golden retrievers are known for their affectionate nature and eagerness to please, making them well-suited for service and other working dog roles. German shepherd As loyal as they are intelligent, German shepherds are among the favored breeds for guide, military, police, and search and rescue roles. The breed, which first arrived in America in the early 20th century, also enjoys peak popularity in Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. Athletic in nature, the breed requires lots of exercise, making them well-suited for homes with or near lots of open land. They are also well-adapted to cold temperatures and harsher climates due to their thick double coats of fur. Shih tzu The shih tzu, whose name means "lion" in Chinese, is king of the Empire State (New York) as well as Iowa, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. Roughly a quarter of New York state residents live in apartments, making the dog that averages 9 to 16 pounds perfect for compact households. Despite being known for its playfulness, the breed does not require much physical activity or space. The breed dates back over 1,000 years but was first brought to America surprisingly recently, following World War II. According to the American Kennel Club, every shih tzu alive today has direct lineage to just 14 shih tzus that were saved when the breed nearly went extinct during the Communist revolution. Yorkshire terrier Maxing out at just 7 pounds, the Yorkshire terrier is the most popular breed among Maryland and Washington D.C. residents. This is not necessarily surprising considering the housing stock of the nation's capital is comprised mostly of apartment units, making the pint-sized pup perfect for metropolitans. The toy breed was bred to chase rats out of mines and mills in 19th-century England, arriving in North America in the 1870s and gaining official recognition by the AKC in 1885. Now, the breed is among the top five most common dogs in 26 states. The breed is a true terrier at heart, known for its feisty yet affectionate nature.' Additional research by Eliza Siegel.

Goldendoodle Representing the best of both worlds, the golden retriever and poodle hybrid is known for its friendly, sociable demeanor and trainability. Bred to be guide dogs in the 1960s, the hybrid is not recognized as an official breed by the AKC, so there is no breed standard. Goldendoodles can thus range from mini-sized to about 90 pounds and may have fur that is curly, straight, or somewhere in between. While not official, the family-friendly dog has left paw prints all over the country, ranking in the top five most popular dogs in 37 states. In Idaho and Utah, the goldendoodle is the most popular overall.

The usually formal convocation ceremonies at universities have turned a platform for Ph.D. students to express their angst in recent months. On October 28, while receiving his degree at Bharathidasan University’s 39th convocation in Tiruchi, F. Israel Inbaraj presented a petition, complaining about the treatment meted out to research scholars, to Governor-Chancellor R.N. Ravi. The incident caused a flutter, as media teams mobbed Mr. Inbaraj after the ceremony seeking details. Talking to the The Hindu, Mr. Inbaraj, a Chennai-based management professional, said the “complete disregard for human rights” by some of the university research section staff and guides had made him pen the note. “I applied for a Ph.D. in Human Resource Management in 2017, but was able to get my degree only after six years. Though I was fortunate to have a supportive guide, there are many others who have been left high and dry in the recent past. I decided to present a petition to the Governor-Chancellor to inform him of what was happening to research scholars at the university,” said Mr. Inbaraj. On October 13, A. Prakash, a Ph.D. scholar at Bharathiyar University, Coimbatore, handed a complaint to the Governor at the convocation. “At the time of the viva [voce], the research scholars are advised by some guides to shell out ₹50,000-₹1 lakh. Some scholars are being compelled to offer money, food, and gold to guides after the exam is completed successfully,” he said in the letter, highlighting the other alleged regulatory lapses at the university. “I was tired of seeing the inaction over the exploitation of research scholars by some guides and used the public forum to voice my concerns. Though my action grabbed headlines, there has been no change on the ground,” Mr. Prakash said. But the tide seems to have turned in favour of the scholars. This week, the Additional Chief Secretary to the Tamil Nadu government issued a note to the Registrars of all the universities to take immediate steps to stop the harassment of research scholars by their guides. “An online reporting mechanism may be put in place so that the research scholars can report their grievances and immediate action [can be taken] to redress them,” said the note. Culture of exploitation According to the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) report for 2020-21, Tamil Nadu had the highest number of Ph.D. scholars (3,206) that academic year. Making Ph.D. mandatory for senior teaching positions at colleges and universities has led to more students taking up research. Interestingly, it was reported recently that the University Grants Commission (UGC) plans to alter the eligibility rules in favour of candidates who hold a strong interest in fields like start-ups, entrepreneurship, and industrial collaborations. In other words, earning a Ph.D. may no longer be compulsory for faculty appointments. But unless the UGC makes a definitive announcement, the toxicity of the Indian doctoral research arena will continue to grow, say observers. The relationship between research scholars and their guides at Indian universities often appears feudal. Running errands for the guides is an accepted practice among research scholars. A Ph.D. scholar of Periyar University in Salem said, “Students who are unable to satisfy their guide’s financial demands will have to take on chores for them like grocery shopping, chauffeuring, and babysitting. A faculty member demanded that his students buy lunch for him every day.” Guides help students who comply with their demands in getting their papers published in research journals and clear their thesis, he added. Today, a sovereign of gold is commonly expected, and given. There are guides who demand a gold coin for each of the two Doctoral Committees convened during the course. At times, scholars with an approved Ph.D. may still be expected to pay an additional bribe of ₹1 lakh-₹2 lakh when their work is signed, said a management professor from a college affiliated to Anna University. Then, there are experts who come for the Ph.D. panel with their families and demand freebies, the cost of which again has to be borne by the student. “An expert from Chennai came to Coimbatore with the whole family and asked for a tour to Ooty!” said the professor. A Ph.D. scholar of Media Studies at Madurai Kamaraj University said that in his third year of research, his guide, the senior-most professor of the department, had hardly allowed him to work on his research topic. “I used to work on presentations and collect inputs for my guide’s research work. Even when I wanted to take time off to spend time on my research, he would blatantly refuse and ask me to do it after the work hours,” he added. A silent conspiracy Prabhu Panneerselvam enrolled for Ph.D. at Bharathidasan University’s Department of Commerce and Financial Studies (2024-29) and then quit because of the issues he had faced with his guide. Among the things he was allegedly forced to do for her were buying lunch and parking her two-wheeler using its double stand every day. “Some of the other scholars are treated like slaves and have been made to edit her curriculum vitae and prepare citations and presentations for her own personal work,” he claimed. When contacted, the guide refuted Mr. Panneerselvam’s allegations. “I thought we had a normal guide and scholar relationship, based on mutual respect. He seems to have misunderstood the situation. All our research students are treated like family,” the academic said. But it seems the pressure to please guides has pushed some scholars beyond endurance. In November 2023, Sachin Kumar Jain, a 31-year-old Ph.D. scholar at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M), took his own life. His brother Bhavesh Jain had written a six-page letter to IIT Director V. Kamakoti, alleging that his brother was under “undue pressure” from his Ph.D. guide Ashish Kumar Sen. The professor was suspended after an inquiry committee found him responsible for the student’s death. Another research scholar in Salem said Ph.D. students are treated like school children at Periyar University. “We have to mark attendance in the morning and the evening. Research departments should be allowed to function throughout the day, but, here, all the rooms are locked after 5.15 p.m. Ph.D. students have to do more field work because of the limited resources,” the scholar said. A Coimbatore-based academic who had also been a Syndicate member at Bharathiyar University blamed the current situation on a system that “focuses on creating a record of work”. Teachers are burdened with clerical chores, especially in computerisation of academic papers. “There is no teaching or research any more; the focus is on creating a record of work. The rat race to publish and linking increments to publications puts pressure,” he said. However, in rare instances, there are supervisors who spend money for their students. “I know one in Erode, who pays the fees for his researchers,” he added. Publishing articles in journals approved by the UGC-Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics (UGC-CARE) is a thorny issue because of its arbitrary nature. “Take, for instance, Anna University’s annexure I list of journals in which publication is mandatory. Almost all journals listed here are publications that demand money from the scholar, and some of them are dubious. The list has skipped Vikalpa, the prestigious journal of Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A), but has included some other random publications,” said a professor. With the performance index of the faculty being dependent upon the articles being printed in these journals (according to National Assessment and Accreditation Council rules) and scholars needing them for their Ph.D. course, the cost of publication is usually borne by the latter. The published paper bears the name of the supervisor as the second author. The demand for Scorpus journal publications is unreasonable for humanities, said researchers. “Universities have their own list of publications that are not even mandated by the UGC-CARE, needlessly adding to the financial burden of the scholars,” added a professor of English. The rush for publication has created a grey market wherein “research paper mills” that print in return for payment prosper. “Nowadays, you come across agents looking for Ph.D. candidates. I often get calls from some agents in Nagercoil asking me to accept a scholar, with the assurance that they will write the thesis and I will just have to clear it,” said a professor. Independent researchers (who work without a guide until thesis submission) are not better off either. “There was a time when I had submitted a paper online, and within seconds, I got a message saying that it had been accepted, without any scrutiny,” said a professor, who had completed her Ph.D. in 2014, after starting her work in 2009. “I chose to do an independent Ph.D. because I had heard a lot about the toxic research space, demands for payment, and harassment faced by women scholars,” she said. However, at the time of submission and allocation of a supervisor at the end of submission, she had to pay ₹1.5 lakh to the ‘guide’. The practice of guides receiving gold coins, gifts, and money from the candidates as a “mark of gratitude” is all too common, said T. Veeramani, principal, Government College for Women, Coimbatore, and former State president of Government College Teachers’ Association. A professor of English in Coimbatore, who regularly supervises students, flags how colleges restrict staff payments. “Ph.D. students pay a fee to the college, but the remuneration is not paid to the supervisor. Often, an external examiner from an international university will demand $1,500 for adjudication of a thesis. The university allocates only $100, the balance has to be paid up by the scholar,” says the professor. Hosting external examiners adds to the expenses, even if universities are willing to bear the cost. “It leads to the fee for the Ph.D programmes getting drastically hiked. Unfortunately, the problem is here to stay,” Professor Veeramani said. Lack of integrity There can be no quick-fix solution to the malady, said academics. The integrity of the external examiner invariably becomes suspect when they accept the elaborate hospitality of the candidate. “As though the deterioration in the quality of research is not enough, the personal corruption precipitates the decline,” said P.K. Ponnuswamy, former Vice-Chancellor of Madras and Madurai Kamaraj Universities. “The exploitation has existed for ages; perhaps, only the range has changed over the years. It is unfortunate that the corrupt have become bolder and are not bothered even by student suicides,” said E. Balagurusamy, former Vice-Chancellor of Anna University. While news headlines focus on the plight of male candidates, the condition of women research scholars is more precarious, Professor Balagurusamy said. “Guides have been known to demand sexual favours from their women scholars for processing the paperwork. The victims’ plea for help often goes unheard, because women are expected to ‘adjust’ themselves to the situation if they want their degree,” he added. Professor Balagurusamy, an advisor to the Confederation of Indian Private Universities, said playing fast and loose with the rules would affect the quality of research in the long run. “When guides are taking money for everything, they will not be worried about the quality of their scholars’ submissions. Reputation matters only to those with integrity,” he said. (With inputs from R. Krishnamoorthy in Coimbatore, P. V. Srividya in Krishnagiri, M. Sabari in Salem, and Palanivel Rajan in Madurai.)

A melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level Media

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Rentokil Initial plc (RTO)Unlike scores of people who scrambled for the blockbuster drugs Ozempic and Wegovy to lose weight in recent years, Danielle Griffin had no trouble getting them. The 38-year-old information technology worker from New Mexico had a prescription. Her pharmacy had the drugs in stock. And her health insurance covered all but $25 to $50 of the monthly cost. For Griffin, the hardest part of using the new drugs wasn’t access. It was finding out that the much-hyped medications didn’t really work for her. “I have been on Wegovy for a year and a half and have only lost 13 pounds,” said Griffin, who watches her diet, drinks plenty of water and exercises regularly. “I’ve done everything right with no success. It’s discouraging.” In clinical trials, most participants taking Wegovy or Mounjaro to treat obesity lost an average of 15% to 22% of their body weight — up to 50 pounds or more in many cases. But roughly 10% to 15% of patients in those trials were “nonresponders” who lost less than 5% of their body weight. Now that millions of people have used the drugs, several obesity experts told The Associated Press that perhaps 20% of patients — as many as 1 in 5 — may not respond well to the medications. It’s a little-known consequence of the obesity drug boom, according to doctors who caution eager patients not to expect one-size-fits-all results. “It’s all about explaining that different people have different responses,” said Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, an obesity expert at Massachusetts General Hospital The drugs are known as GLP-1 receptor agonists because they mimic a hormone in the body known as glucagon-like peptide 1. Genetics, hormones and variability in how the brain regulates energy can all influence weight — and a person’s response to the drugs, Stanford said. Medical conditions such as sleep apnea can prevent weight loss, as can certain common medications, such as antidepressants, steroids and contraceptives. “This is a disease that stems from the brain,” said Stanford. “The dysfunction may not be the same” from patient to patient. Despite such cautions, patients are often upset when they start getting the weekly injections but the numbers on the scale barely budge. “It can be devastating,” said Dr. Katherine Saunders, an obesity expert at Weill Cornell Medicine and co-founder of the obesity treatment company FlyteHealth. “With such high expectations, there’s so much room for disappointment.” That was the case for Griffin, who has battled obesity since childhood and hoped to shed 70 pounds using Wegovy. The drug helped reduce her appetite and lowered her risk of diabetes, but she saw little change in weight. “It’s an emotional roller coaster,” she said. “You want it to work like it does for everybody else.” The medications are typically prescribed along with eating behavior and lifestyle changes. It’s usually clear within weeks whether someone will respond to the drugs, said Dr. Jody Dushay, an endocrine specialist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Weight loss typically begins right away and continues as the dosage increases. For some patients, that just doesn’t happen. For others, side effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea force them to halt the medications, Dushay said. In such situations, patients who were counting on the new drugs to pare pounds may think they’re out of options. “I tell them: It’s not game over,” Dushay said. Trying a different version of the new class of drugs may help. Griffin, who didn’t respond well to Wegovy, has started using Zepbound, which targets an additional hormone pathway in the body. After three months of using the drug, she has lost 7 pounds. “I’m hoping it’s slow and steady,” she said. Other people respond well to older drugs, the experts said. Changing diet, exercise, sleep and stress habits can also have profound effects. Figuring out what works typically requires a doctor trained to treat obesity, Saunders noted. “Obesity is such a complex disease that really needs to be treated very comprehensively,” she said. “If what we’re prescribing doesn’t work, we always have a backup plan.”

Video of postgame encounter between Luke Fickell, Donovan Raiola circulates online Courthouse lighting ceremony planned for Sunday Most popular dog breeds in the US and the states where they're #1 Most popular dog breeds in the US and the states where they're #1 From bags of kibble in the grocery store to modern home sizes, things are getting smaller—and evidently, Americans are starting to look for furry friends that match. Small breeds like terriers and toys have largely dethroned the retrievers that once dominated the most popular breed rankings. This is a continuation of a trend that began in 2022 when the Labrador retriever lost its 31-year-long streak as #1 to the French bulldog, according to the American Kennel Club. This shift may be partially attributable to the rising costs of pet products and veterinary care since smaller dogs are more economical for tighter budgets. Moreover, as remote work and nomadic living become increasingly more common, smaller dogs may appeal to those looking for pets that require less space and are easier to transport. In fact, only two sporting dog breeds are the most popular in any American state—and neither is a Labrador retriever. The most popular dog overall represents 4% of all dogs in the country—constituting over 2.3 million out of 58 million households with dogs. Ollie used data from U.S. News & World Report to further explore which dog breeds are the most popular in which states and what factors may drive residents' preferences. Chihuahua Named after the northern Mexican state from which it originates, the Chihuahua is the smallest dog breed and one of the oldest, with a lineage that dates as far back as the ninth century. Today, the breed makes up a remarkable 4% of all dogs in the United States and is the most popular overall in 21 states. It ranks within the top five most common breeds in 42 states in total. Requiring just 200 to 250 calories per day but boasting a lifespan of 14 to 16 years, the Chihuahua offers owners low-cost longevity and is known for its adaptability and amusing personality. French bulldog The French bulldog is a compact companion known for being friendly yet quiet, making it suitable for a range of lifestyles and homes. The breed has roots in the English bulldog, which was bred to a smaller size to accompany its working English owners, many of whom were artisans. As such trades closed amid the Industrial Revolution, these workers and their little bulldogs moved to France, where the breed's popularity began. The French developed a more standardized appearance which was iterated upon in the U.S. to develop the iconic bat ears. The breed has recently seen a massive increase in popularity, with AKC registrations surging by 1,000% between 2012 and 2022. Now, the French bulldog is the most popular dog in Florida, California, and Hawaii and is in the top five most common dogs in nearly half the remaining states. Golden retriever With webbed paws and an affinity for water, golden retrievers are lucky pups to be the favored breed of the Midwest. They are the most popular dogs in states bordering the Great Lakes—Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio; the entirety of the New England region minus Rhode Island; plus North Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, and Virginia. The iconic golden breed was developed in 19th-century Scotland to retrieve both from land and water during hunts, hence its swimming-related adaptations. Golden retrievers are known for their affectionate nature and eagerness to please, making them well-suited for service and other working dog roles. German shepherd As loyal as they are intelligent, German shepherds are among the favored breeds for guide, military, police, and search and rescue roles. The breed, which first arrived in America in the early 20th century, also enjoys peak popularity in Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. Athletic in nature, the breed requires lots of exercise, making them well-suited for homes with or near lots of open land. They are also well-adapted to cold temperatures and harsher climates due to their thick double coats of fur. Shih tzu The shih tzu, whose name means "lion" in Chinese, is king of the Empire State (New York) as well as Iowa, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. Roughly a quarter of New York state residents live in apartments, making the dog that averages 9 to 16 pounds perfect for compact households. Despite being known for its playfulness, the breed does not require much physical activity or space. The breed dates back over 1,000 years but was first brought to America surprisingly recently, following World War II. According to the American Kennel Club, every shih tzu alive today has direct lineage to just 14 shih tzus that were saved when the breed nearly went extinct during the Communist revolution. Yorkshire terrier Maxing out at just 7 pounds, the Yorkshire terrier is the most popular breed among Maryland and Washington D.C. residents. This is not necessarily surprising considering the housing stock of the nation's capital is comprised mostly of apartment units, making the pint-sized pup perfect for metropolitans. The toy breed was bred to chase rats out of mines and mills in 19th-century England, arriving in North America in the 1870s and gaining official recognition by the AKC in 1885. Now, the breed is among the top five most common dogs in 26 states. The breed is a true terrier at heart, known for its feisty yet affectionate nature.' Additional research by Eliza Siegel.

Goldendoodle Representing the best of both worlds, the golden retriever and poodle hybrid is known for its friendly, sociable demeanor and trainability. Bred to be guide dogs in the 1960s, the hybrid is not recognized as an official breed by the AKC, so there is no breed standard. Goldendoodles can thus range from mini-sized to about 90 pounds and may have fur that is curly, straight, or somewhere in between. While not official, the family-friendly dog has left paw prints all over the country, ranking in the top five most popular dogs in 37 states. In Idaho and Utah, the goldendoodle is the most popular overall.
