SC: Can’t use OSA to deny accused access to documents relied on by prosecution
Holding that it is part of an accused’s right to fair trial that he gets access to documents relied upon by the prosecution, Supreme Court has said invocation of the Official Secrets Act (OSA) cannot take away the right of the accused person to get copies of the documents forming part of the chargesheet even if they are highly classified and confidential pertaining to national security. A bench of Justices J K Maheshwari and Atul S Chandurkar directed the Centre to provide the alleged secret...
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Disrupts Glymphatic-Related Physiological Brain Pulsations
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects over one billion people and increases neurodegenerative risk. Brain vasomotor, respiratory, and cardiac pulsations are thought to drive glymphatic clearance during sleep, yet OSA's effect on these pulsations remains poorly understood. Methods: We studied 20 healthy controls (HC; 39.7{+/-}8.0 y) and 12 patients with OSA (PWOSA; 53.0{+/-}11.0 y) using a four wavelength (690-980 nm) functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measuring...
Altered Tonsillar Microbiome in Children with Down Syndrome and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Background and Objectives: Children with Down syndrome (DS) have a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to anatomic, neuromuscular, immunological and metabolic factors, yet the contribution of the tonsillar microbiome to airway obstruction in this population remains unexplored. We hypothesized that DS-associated OSA would be associated with a distinct tonsillar microbiome compared to non DS OSA. Methods: Tonsillar tissue from 22 DS and 18 NDS participants were analyzed by 16S...
People taking common sleep drug may not realize they're too impaired to drive, study finds
A popular antipsychotic medication was found to reduce obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) – but it also led to impaired driving the next morning. That’s according to a small randomized controlled trial published in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society. Researchers from Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, conducted the study in 15 adults with OSA who also had difficulty maintaining sleep.
Optimal Stochastic Krylov based Techniques for Large- Scale Log-Determinant Estimation
arXiv:2606.07004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Estimating the logarithm of the determinant of large sparse positive definite symmetric matrices is an important task in numerical linear algebra, machine learning, Gaussian processes, and uncertainty quantification. In this work, we introduce two scalable and efficient methods for large-scale log-determinant termed the Optimal Stochastic Arnoldi with Incomplete Orthogonalization Procedure (OSA-IOP) and the Optimal Stochastic Lanczos Quadrature...
Online Safety Regulation Increases Privacy Risk: Evidence from the UK Online Safety Act
arXiv:2606.05273v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Governments worldwide are increasingly regulating digital platforms to reduce online harms, particularly those affecting children. However, access restrictions can alter user behaviour and introduce new privacy and security risks. The UK Online Safety Act (OSA), passed in October 2023, illustrates this trend: it extends age-assurance and safety requirements to social media, search, and pornography services, and rolled out in phases.
Visual AI tracks nearly 100 wildlife species to improve conservation
Visual AI tracks nearly 100 wildlife species to improve conservation Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Wildlife research projects worldwide could benefit from a new AI system which can automatically find, name, and follow individual animals in footage. A University of Bristol team working on Animal Biometrics and AI for Conservation have been key contributors to the SA-FARI (Segment Anything in Footage of Animals for Recognition and Identification) project, developed...
Signal says UK plan to scan devices for nude images 'endangers us all'
Signal insists that plans to compel tech companies to scan devices for nude images of children announced by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday at London Tech Week "will not keep children safe." "It endangers us all," the encrypted messaging platform said, adding that the mechanism required to implement it would be "dangerous." And it wouldn't be a pro-privacy statement without calling it "dystopian."
