Question for the Day
[{"explanation": "<p>A typical pulse oximeter uses an electronic processor and a pair of small light-emitting diodes (LEDs) facing a photodiode through a translucent part of the patient's body, usually a fingertip or an earlobe. Absorption of light at these wavelengths differs significantly between blood loaded with oxygen and blood lacking oxygen.</p>\n<p>Oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs more infrared light and allows more red light to pass through. Deoxygenated hemoglobin allows more infrared light to pass through and absorbs more red light. The LEDs sequence through their cycle of one on, then the other, then both off about thirty times per second which allows the photodiode to respond to the red and infrared light separately and also adjust for the ambient light baseline.</p>", "question": "<p>Consider the following statements:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Pulse Oximeter measures Blood Oxygen Saturation along with Pulse Rate.</li>\n<li>Low levels of oxygen in blood is known as hypoxemia</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Which of the statements given above is/are incorrect?</p>", "options": [{"option_id": "5f15aaf67737d472ce1b368b", "is_correct_answer": false, "title": "<p>1 only</p>"}, {"option_id": "5f15aaf67737d472ce1b368c", "is_correct_answer": false, "title": "<p>2 only</p>"}, {"option_id": "5f15aaf67737d472ce1b368d", "is_correct_answer": false, "title": "<p>Both 1 and 2</p>"}, {"option_id": "5f15aaf67737d472ce1b368e", "is_correct_answer": true, "title": "<p>Neither 1 nor 2</p>"}], "question_id": "5f15aaf67737d472ce1b368a"}, {"explanation": "<p><strong>Malabar</strong> <strong>Naval Exercise</strong> is a trilateral naval exercise involving the <strong>USA, Japan, and India</strong> as permanent partners.

The basics of criminal jurisprudence as well citizen’s rights have been provided under Article, 20, 21 and 22 of the Indian Constitution. Rights of the accused as well as duties and responsibilities of police officer arresting an accused have been provided under Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure and Indian Evidence Act.
In this discussion, we will understand:

Why a separate anti-torture law?
The author has criticized the Draft Prevention of Torture Bill, 2017 as being too harsh on police officers.
So this will be a discussion on UN Convention against Torture (UNCAT) and India’s attempt to draft Anti-Torture Law
So we will learn:

Pulse oximeters
Due to the asymptomatic nature of the majority of COVID-19 infections, a lot of coronavirus patients may suffer from abnormally low-levels of blood saturation without even realising it (dropping below 92 per cent).
While usually, such low-levels of blood oxygen may lead to symptoms like breathlessness, coronavirus patients may get used to the gradual decrease of oxygen levels in the body. Some of the other symptoms a patient battling low-levels of oxygen concentration include bouts of confusion and even euphoria.
This is where a pulse oximeter comes handy as it helps in detecting low levels of oxygen saturation in an otherwise asymptomatic coronavirus patient.
In this regard we will understand:

Make the right call on ‘Malabar’ going Quad
There is speculation that Australia will join the Malabar military exercise along with China and USA. All the members of this drill are also the members of the Quadrilateral grouping which aims at countering China in the Indian Ocean region. So the author analyses the potential of this expansion of trilateral (Malabar)naval exercise into a quadrilateral one with Australia joining it.
In this regard we will go through:
Conflict
Need to reflect upon strategic rationale of the Quad
Operational Preparedness

The largest of China's administrative regions, Xinjiang borders eight countries - Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India - and until recently its population was mostly Uighur.
