Read the text below and answer the following
question based on it.
Next generation cars that can think for themselves have clear advantages over flesh-and-blood drivers: they don't get drunk or drowsy, daydream or get distracted by mobile phones and squabbling kids. As the driver is taken out of the equation, so too will a large proportion of accidents.
Worldwide, 1.24 million people die each year in road accidents and as many as 50 million are injured. Human error causes over 90 percent of these collisions.
Driverless cars, which can sense other vehicles on the road as well as obstacles and lane markings, are already proving much safer than human-driven cars. Driverless cars use a mix of GPS, cameras, complex scanners and sensors to detect vehicles, traffic signals, curbs, pedestrians and other obstacles. A central computer system analyzes the data to control acceleration, steering and braking. The software can simulate different eventualities to ensure safety on the road - and the results can be incorporated into the design and production process.
As well as detecting their surroundings using ultrasophisticated mapping systems, future cars will be able to communicate with each other, allowing as many cars as possible to fit on the roads. Connected vehicles will feature safety warnings that alert drivers of potentially dangerous conditions - impending collisions, icy roads and dangerous curves.
Experts say it's not the technology slowing our progress, but legal and practical issues such as who is responsible in the case of an accident, urban infrastructure planning, and the security of car computer systems. Once these details are worked out, and manufacturers have used sophisticated software tools to eliminate all potential problems, it won't be long until we're all a lot safer on the roads.
Transportation Re-imagined
The transportation industry enables more than just a means
of getting around. With the advance of high technology,
changing consumer priorities, and the increased access to
travel for much of the developed world, taking a car or train
from point A to point B has evolved in ways not previously
imagined. Digital technologies are a key component of the
new mobility concept.

It is true to affirm that
1) getting people out of the control of the steering wheel should result in fewer accidents. 2) a flesh-and-blood generation of cars has been created that can think for themselves. 3) unlike human beings, driverless cars are not distracted by children or mobile phones. 4) digital technologies have a peripheral importance in the mobility revolution. 5) road accidents claim many lives and most car crashes are caused by human error.

Human trafficking is slavery
According to the United States Department of Justice,
human trafficking is the “third most profitable criminal
activity. An estimated $9.5 billion is generated in annual
revenue from all trafficking activities, with at least $4 billion
attributed to the worldwide brothel industry.”
The United States Department of State estimates that
800,000 women, children and men are internationally
trafficked every year. Most of these victims are enslaved in
the sex trade industry, followed by domestic servitude and
labor. Over 14,000 victims are trafficked into the United
States annually, according to the United States Department
of Justice, and an estimated 200,000 American children are
potentially trafficked each year into the sex trade.
Since 2001, the United States Department of Health and
Human Services has issued almost 1,100 certifications to
human trafficking victims in the United States originating
from over 40 countries. The largest contributing regions are
Latin America and Asia. The majority of victims are female
and half of all victims are children. Law enforcement
agencies report that the majority of trafficking cases
presented as prostitution. But victims of human trafficking
have also been rescued from enslavement as domestic
servants, child soldiers, child brides, beggars, manual
laborers, sweatshops workers, and in landmine removal
efforts. There are also baby trafficking rings that sell babies
to both knowing and unknowing adoptive parents.
Anyone can potentially fall prey to human traffickers. Before
enslavement, many victims earned higher educational
degrees. Many victims were professionals. Others were
simply seeking a better life when they fell prey. Regardless
of demographics or the circumstance of their trafficking, the
common thread among all trafficking victims is the deprivation of inherent human rights and dignity. They are
frequently subjected to physical, mental, emotional and
sexual abuse. Although these victims are a commodity to
the traffickers, they are nonetheless considered expendable.
They are consequently not given adequate care. Without
proper care and essential services, these innocent victims
will be less likely to live hopeful, healthy, and productive
lives.

Read the text below and answer the following question based on it.
Feed Additive Squelches Ruminants' Methane Belches.
The global population is now nearly seven and a half billion.
And that’s just humans. Because our planet is also home to
one-and-a-half-billion cows, another billion sheep, and a
billion goats. Their combined belches account for a full fifth
of the world's methane emissions—and methane is about 30
times more potent at trapping heat than CO2.
But those methane emissions might get cut—by feeding the
grazers something called 3-nitrooxypropanol. "I can tell you,
they like it. No rejection at all." Maik Kindermann, an organic
chemist at DSM Nutritional Products in Switzerland. Liking
it, in the cow world, he says basically means they'll still
gobble up their food, even with this stuff mixed in.
Kindermann's company developed the additive a few years
back. It jams up an enzyme crucial to the production of
methane by bacteria that live inside the animals. And it
slashes the number of those methane-belching bacteria,
while leaving the rest of the microbiome intact. The result? A
30 percent decrease in methane emissions.
Kindermann says he thinks the compound could be a winwin for the planet—and the animals. "You know the
methane is kind of a waste product. And this energy, instead
of losing it for the animal, it can be reused for the animal in
terms of performance, and at the same time we are doing
something for greenhouse gas emission and climate
change." The product’s not on the market yet—toxicology
tests are ongoing. But the hope is that it might take some of
the heat off of beef.

Most teenagers happy with their lives but schoolwork
anxiety and bullying an issue
Teenagers who feel part of a school community and enjoy
good relations with their parents and teachers are more
likely to perform better academically and be happier with
their lives, according to the first OECD PISA assessment of
students’ well-being.
PISA 2015 Results analyses for the first time students’
motivation to perform well in school, their relationships with
peers and teachers, their home life, and how they spend
their time outside of school. The findings are based on a
survey of 540,000 students in 72 participating countries and
economies who also completed the main OECD PISA 2015
test on science, mathematics and reading.
Many students are very anxious about school work and
tests and the analysis reveals this is not related to the
number of school hours or the frequency of tests but with
how supportive they feel their teachers and schools to be:
on average across OECD countries, 59% of students
reported they often worry that taking a test will be difficult,
and 66% reported feeling stressed about poor grades.
Some 55% of students say they are very anxious for a test
even if they are well prepared. In all countries, girls reported
greater schoolwork-related anxiety than boys; and anxiety
about schoolwork, homework and tests is negatively related
to performance.
Teachers play a big role in creating the conditions for
students’ well-being at school and governments should not
define the role of teachers solely through the number of
instruction hours. Happier students tend to report positive
relations with their teachers. Students in schools where life
satisfaction is above the national average reported a higher
level of support from their teacher than students in schools
where life satisfaction is below average.
“These findings show how teachers, schools and parents
can make a real difference to children’s well-being,”
said OECD Chief of Staff Gabriela Ramos, launching the
report in London. “Together they can help young people
develop a sense of control over their future and the
resilience they need to be successful in life. There is no
secret, you perform better if you feel valued, if you feel well
treated, if you are given a hand to succeed!”

report in London. “Together they can help young people
develop a sense of control over their future and the
resilience they need to be successful in life. There is no
secret, you perform better if you feel valued, if you feel well
treated, if you are given a hand to succeed!”

Natural tooth repair method, using Alzheimer's drug, could revolutionise dental treatments
A new method of stimulating the renewal of living stem cells in tooth pulp using an Alzheimer’s drug has been discovered by a team of researchers at King’s College London.
Following trauma or an infection, the inner, soft pulp of a tooth can become exposed and infected. In order to protect the tooth from infection, a thin band of dentine is naturally produced and this seals the tooth pulp, but it is insufficient to effectively repair large cavities. Currently dentists use manmade cements or fillings, such as calcium and silicon-based products, to treat these larger cavities and fill holes in teeth. This cement remains in the tooth and fails to disintegrate, meaning that the normal mineral level of the tooth is never completely restored.
However, in a paper published today in Scientific Reports, scientists from the Dental Institute at King’s College London have proven a way to stimulate the stem cells contained in the pulp of the tooth and generate new dentine in large cavities, potentially reducing the need for fillings or cements.
The novel biological approach could see teeth use their natural ability to repair large cavities rather than using cements or fillings.
Significantly, one of the small molecules used by the team to stimulate the renewal of the stem cells included Tideglusib, which has previously been used in clinical trials to treat neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease.
Using biodegradable collagen sponges to deliver the treatment, the team applied low doses of small molecule glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3) inhibitors to the tooth. They found that the sponge degraded over time and that new dentine replaced it, leading to complete, natural repair. Collagen sponges are commercially-available and clinicallyapproved, again adding to the potential of the treatment’s swift pick-up and use in dental clinics.
