There is considerable variability both within and between these classifications, a lack of isolated neural deficits [49], high rates of comorbidity [26]. Given these and the dimensional framework of the DSM-5, the decision was to have one single category for Specific Learning Disorder, but to use specifiers to capture the developmental course and severity of various manifestations at the time of assessment [56]. Specifiers are not mutually exclusive, which means manifestations across academic domains can be captured within a single diagnosis. One of the most common manifestations of Specific Learning Disorder is dyslexia, a difficulty mapping letters with the sounds of one’s language in order to read printed words typically resulting from a deficit in the phonological component of language [20]. In the DSM-5, dyslexia is suggested as an alternative term for problems with accurate or fluent word recognition, poor decoding, and poor spelling abilities. | 2024-03-31 | True | false | true | insufficient-contradictory |

Over time, women have increasingly attained higher levels of education: among women ages 25 to 64 who are in the labor force, the proportion with a college degree more than tripled from 1970 to 2015, increasing from 11 percent to 41 percent. Womenâs earnings as a proportion of menâs earnings also have grown over time.

Modi denies the allega- tions and has sought polit- ical asylum in the U.K. In a letter to Punjab Na- tional Bank last year, Modi said he owed the institu- tion about 50 billion rupees ($775 million). The $1.8 bil- lion figure cited by the bank resulted in a media frenzy that pressured authorities to quickly search and seize assets from two of his com- panies, Firestar Interna- tional and Firestar Diamond International, Modi said. The son of a diamond merchant, Modi built an in- ternational jewellery empire that stretched from India to New York and Hong Kong. Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra became the face of his eponymous brand and Hollywood actress Naomi Watts appeared with Modi at the opening of his first U.S. boutique in 2015. As recently as 2017, Forbes magazine estimated Modi’s wealth at $1.8 billion. But his empire began to crumble after the fraud alle- gations, and he was removed from the publication’s bil- lionaires list in 2018. Last year, the interna- tional police organisation Interpol issued a "red no- tice" seeking Modi’s ar- rest worldwide. | 2019-03-21 | False | false | true | insufficient-neutral |

Gallup polls give numbers that are a little higher. In 2012, 52 percent of respondents said they had flown at least once in the past year, the highest number in a decade. Of course, these are only U.S. flyers, and for many parts of the world, information is even scarcer. A consumer survey conducted by Credit Suisse First Boston in 2004 found that 47 percent of respondents in eight large Chinese cities had ever flown in an airplane. Air travel is on the rise in China, as well as in other parts of Asia and Latin America. "As gross domestic product increases the number of trips per capita increases," Heimlich says, citing numbers produced by airplane manufacturers. "What they show is, to a point, air travel increases exponentially. Places with large populations like China and India are of great interest." [...] What’s not clear from these statistics is whether more people were flying, or the same people were flying more often, or both. It seems likely that the percentage of global citizens who have ever flown is growing, and will continue to grow.

The Indian Railways publishes an annual document titled ‘Statistical Statements’ that gives a breakup of the number of passengers that were carried in that year by the class in which they travelled. This data was aggregated to find the number of people who travelled by AC class in trains between 2012-13 and 2016-17.

Such celebrity engagement included a kite-flying session with Salman Khan, and casual meetings with Rajinikanth, Vijay, and a number of southern film stars, a region where the BJP was particularly weak. Indeed, some of these actors, including Salman and Vijay, explicitly noted that they were not endorsing Modi—Salman even said he would vote for a Congress party candidate. However, the willingness of the celebrities to pose alongside Modi and Modi’s willingness to engage with them suggests a two-way acknowledgement of each other’s’ importance. Posing and tweeting with southern film stars, Modi undercut the idea that the BJP was largely a northern party, and likewise tweeting favourably about Muslim public figures including Abdul Kalam, Salman Khan, A R Rahman, and Sania Mirza undercut suggestions of Modi’s anti-secular credentials. | 2019-01-28 | False | false | true | insufficient-neutral |

And if you think about it, that's a very very profound understanding of the relationship. Because if you remove a scorpion with your hand you will get stung very badly, but if you hit a Shivling with a chappal, then you have undermined all the sacred tenets of the faith that you hold in that the scorpion is sitting on.

The agreement has been in force since 2017 and is applicable between Switzerland and all EU member states. It implements the global standard on AEOI of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In 2004, Switzerland and the EU concluded a taxation of savings income agreement as part of the Bilaterals II agreements aiming at combating cross-border tax evasion. This was replaced by the agreement between Switzerland and the EU on the automatic exchange of financial account information in tax matters, which was signed on 27 May 2015.

A number of policy related MoUs have been signed with Switzerland. One of such agreements is the ‘Joint Declaration on Automatic Exchange of Information on Tax Matters – signed in November 2016’. This agreement allows for real time information sharing of the finances related to Indian nationals with bank accounts in Switzerland. Switzerland and India are among a list of 84 countries that share such information with other countries. Switzerland shared its information with 36 countries, while India shared it with 58 as per the 2018 OECD report on this issue. The report of the OECD committee further states that ‘in 2014, the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes (the Global Forum) adopted the Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters (the AEOI Standard), developed by the OECD working with G20 countries. To deliver a level playing field, the Global Forum launched a commitment process under which 100 jurisdictions committed to implement the AEOI Standard in time to commence exchanges in 2017 or 2018’.

It wants the Drug Price Control Order (DPCO), the rule framed under Essential Commodities Act to fix ceiling prices for drugs, de-linked from the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) prepared by the health ministry. The proposal, part of Niti Aayog's draft Three Year Action Plan, if approved, can open a Pandora's box as criteria for selecting medicines that need to be brought under government price control has always been a contentious issue. For instance, the rationale for the much debated decision to cap the prices of cardiac stents was that the medical device was one of the items in the NLEM, and subsequently notified as an essential medicine under DPCO. If the government decides to delink NLEM from the DPCO, it can lead to a fresh debate on the number, category and class of drugs and medical devices that should come under price control. [...] The policy was challenged in the court by public interest groups, which resulted in a Supreme Court directive that ordered the Central government to ensure that no essential medicines should be out of price control because of the change.

In December 2017, the government, in an amendment to the Indian Forest Act, (IFA), 1927, exempted bamboo grown in non-forest areas from definition as a tree. Bamboo, though taxonomically a grass, was legally defined as a 'tree' under the IFA. The twin objectives of the latest amendment aim to promote bamboo cultivation in non-forest areas in order to increase rural incomes and expand the country's green cover. As a result, this dispenses with the requirement to obtain felling/transit permit for commercial use of bamboo and would transform bamboo cultivation and bamboo economy.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Bamboo was perceived all along as a wild growth in forest areas and not as a cultivated crop that could be harnessed for profit. Commercial cultivation of bamboo will replace wood as the material of choice for building houses. Success on this score will help stop felling trees, which would otherwise be used as timber, and save the environment from further loss of tree cover. | 2018-04-08 | False | false | true | supports |

The rural economy has been given a boost with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s allocation for a Restructured National Bamboo Mission. The National Bamboo Mission is a wholly-sponsored central scheme. There is a tinge of skepticism in the people for whom the allocation has been announced. Though the Budget has allocated a total outlay of Rs 1,290 crore under the revised bamboo mission, the money is to be paid over a three-year period. "On an average, Rs 430 crore will be spent annually. The big challenge this poses is to know how the money will be disbursed, who will qualify for it, and how can people apply for it," says Kedar Krushna Panda, assistant vice president, ILFS, in-charge of Tripura Bamboo Mission. Panda says the government has to give more clarity on how farmers can apply for the funds. | 2018-02-07 | False | false | true | supports |
