A study on current diagnostic approaches to Covid-19

The unanticipated outbreak of the novel coronavirus later identified as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) has rendered the world speechless. After only two and a half months since the first case was reported in the Wuhan city of China, the WHO declared the coronavirus disease a pandemic. So far the virus has covered all 196 countries infecting millions. Scientists all over the world are putting in all their resources to formulate a vaccine to put an end to this pandemic. Meanwhile, prevention remains the only option. It is necessary to contain the disease to slow down its spread rate and for that fast and accurate diagnosis is vital. This review summarizes the current approaches for the diagnosis of the coronavirus disease. They are categorized based on their target molecule (RNA, antigens, or antibodies). We have also shed light on some newly emerging rapid testing techniques using chest scans and biosensors for high specificity to get more accurate results. The use of any one of them depends upon the severity of the case. At times more than one technique is used to get a sure outcome. Culture-based virus detection in the lab act as the gold standard of accuracy for all of these techniques. The study of the underlying mechanism of these techniques also helps to understand the virulent behavior of the virus and its mode of action. Taking into consideration all of these approaches, each one has its limitation that is also discussed in this article.

Examining the effect of the reservation quota on the socio-economic integration for OBC into modern Indian society

The reservation quota allocated for the OBC has always been a polarising topic, one that has incited discussions on social equality, economic independence, and marginalization. While some groups argue that the Other Backward Classes have been sidelined throughout history and need to be compensated, the counter-argument made is that the pendulum has swung too far and the compensations outweigh the marginalization. This research paper aims to seek justification for the quota and assess if this reservation quota is proportional to the social inequalities that weigh against the OBC community. It will study the educational, economic, the social standpoint of the OBC as well as the technical nitty-gritties of the quota allocated. This paper has been inspired by the growing volatile discussions on said topic that have acted as a gateway to a range of other essential topics. As young citizens of an India at the precipice of social unrest, we feel that the need to analyze and assess our country's attempts at inclusivity is imperative. Moreover, we want this research to act as a base for our understanding of the OBC, allowing us to form independent beliefs and judgements and giving us the academic standpoint to make concrete arguments.
