Extending a warm welcome to all delegates, he called for greater global solidarity in addressing the growing challenges posed by climate change and natural disasters.

    The technical meeting, the first in-person gathering of the BRICS DRR Working Group during India’s 2026 Chairmanship, is expected to facilitate meaningful exchanges on strengthening early warning systems, improving emergency response mechanisms, promoting innovative technologies, and building resilient communities across nations.

    Beyond policy discussions, the conference also offers an opportunity for delegates to experience Odisha’s rich cultural heritage and renowned hospitality. The choice of Puri—the abode of Mahaprabhu Shri Jagannath—as the venue adds a unique dimension to the event, symbolizing unity, inclusiveness, and collective strength.

    Extensive arrangements have been made by the state government, district administration, and security agencies to ensure the smooth conduct of the conference. Senior officials, led by Director General of Police Yogesh Bahadur Khurania, have overseen comprehensive security and logistical preparations for the international gathering.

    As climate-related disasters become increasingly frequent and intense across the world, the discussions in Puri carry significance far beyond national boundaries. The meeting serves as a platform for nations to learn from one another, forge stronger partnerships, and develop practical solutions for a safer and more resilient future.

    For Odisha, the conference stands as a powerful affirmation of how a state once defined by disaster vulnerability has emerged as a global leader in resilience, preparedness, and community-centered disaster management. Hosting this prestigious BRICS gathering marks not only a proud moment for Odisha but also an important contribution to the global conversation on protecting lives and livelihoods in an era of growing climate uncertainty.

  • Jentic Launches Tool That Scores APIs for AI Readiness

    Jentic, the AI infrastructure company bridging AI agents into the enterprise API landscape, today launched its API Scoring tool: a free CLI and web UI that evaluate whether a company’s APIs are ready for use by AI agents. Both tools score APIs across six readiness dimensions and are available immediately at no cost.

    Jentic Launches Tool That Scores APIs for AI Readiness

    The CLI is designed to integrate directly into  developer  workflows. Teams can run an initial scan to see where their APIs stand, then configure the tool to generate a fresh score automatically each time code is updated, giving engineering leaders a clear, trackable record of their API landscape’s AI-readiness over time.

    The scoring framework was developed with input from senior figures in the API standards community, including a member of the OpenAPI Initiative’s Business Governance Board and an OpenAPI Initiative Ambassador, both of whom have joined Jentic.

     

    Why AI readiness requires a new standard

    Most APIs were designed with  human developers in mind. A developer can interpret ambiguous documentation, ask a colleague, or make an informed guess when an API description is incomplete. AI agents have much less context to work with . They require precise, machine-readable descriptions, predictable behaviour, and they should be given clear security guardrails. The vast majority of deployed APIs were not designed with those requirements in mind.

     

    Until now, there has been no standardised way for engineering teams to measure that gap or track progress in closing it. The Jentic API Scoring tool is built to fill that role.

    The six scoring dimensions assess whether an API’s descriptions are technically correct, clear enough for an agent to interpret, whether its behaviour is consistent and predictable, whether appropriate security controls are in place, and whether an AI system can discover and execute against it without human intervention.

     

    “What does ‘good’ look like for agent experience and developer experience? The industry has conflated validity with usability for too long. Sure, your linter may not shout at you anymore, but a syntactically correct API description guarantees one thing: conformance to the spec’s grammar. It says nothing about whether an agent can discover, understand , and execute against that API reliably. That gap is measurable. This tool gives teams that metric, and a path to improving it.” Frank Kilcommins, Head of Enterprise Architecture, Jentic and Member, OpenAPI Initiative Business Governance Board

     

    “We all know that AI is taking off in a big way. Whether it’s coding agents or business agents, every organization out there is using AI in some way. We need to make sure our API landscape evolves to match the needs of these new consumers. Scoring is the perfect starting point, and while scoring gets you started with clear goals, Jentic is working on additional tooling to accelerate your path towards an AI-ready API landscape.” Erik Wilde, Head of Enterprise Strategy, Jentic and OpenAPI Initiative Ambassador

     

    “In the AI era, the API is king, and APIs must be built for agents, not just for developers. This tool gives every engineering team a free compass to help them navigate through that transition.”  Sean Blanchfield, CEO, Jentic

     

    Jentic Launches Tool That Scores APIs for AI Readiness

    Open source and free to use

    The scoring framework underpinning the tool is published under the Apache 2.0 licence. The methodology is fully open to inspection, contribution, and extension by any developer, researcher, or organisation.

    Teams needing custom configurations, on-premise deployment, or organisation-wide controls can contact Jentic directly.

  • Rutgers Brain Health Institute Launches the Women’s Brain Health Initiative

    By Tongyue Zhang

     A new Rutgers initiative aims to fill decades of critical research gaps and deliver science-backed resources to support women’s unique brain health needs throughout every life stage.

    Women experience distinct biological transitions throughout life – including puberty, pregnancy, motherhood, menopause and aging – that profoundly shape brain health. For generations, medical research and clinical trials have systematically excluded females, creating widespread gaps in scientific understanding of women’s brain function, disease vulnerability and neurological resilience, according to historical records from the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health.

    To correct this longstanding oversight, the Rutgers Brain Health Institute has launched the Women’s Brain Health Initiative, a new program dedicated to advancing targeted research and public education for women’s brain health.

    As a flagship effort, the initiative leverages the institute’s expansive research mission spanning neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration,  and mental health disorders.

    “Women’s brain health has been ignored for decades — that time is coming to an end,” said Gary Aston-Jones, director of the Brain Health Institute.

    He said the institute and other research organizations “are extending efforts to reverse this oversight.”

    Aston-Jones added that this focus by the institute “represents incredible opportunities not only for women’s brain health, but for all brain health. By focusing on women’s specific issues, we are confident that we will discover new insights into brain mechanisms in general. These new findings will benefit brain health for everyone.”

    Women represent half of the global population and have longer average lifespans than men, yet they bear a disproportionate burden of neurological and mental health conditions. Women face higher prevalence rates for Alzheimer’s disease, depression, migraines, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, eating disorders and chronic pain conditions. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, women account for nearly two-thirds of all Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease. Notably, females also demonstrate greater resilience against certain neurological conditions, including stroke, traumatic brain injury and Parkinson’s disease. Researchers say uncovering the biological foundations of these unique vulnerabilities and resilience will advance brain health research for all people.

    Dedicated to transforming women’s brain health research and outreach, the Women’s Brain Health Initiative will center core missions of understanding, empowering and improving long-term brain health outcomes for women across the lifespan. The initiative encompasses basic cellular and animal research alongside clinical studies of human patients living with female-specific brain health challenges, while translating rigorous research into clear, trustworthy, actionable resources for women and their families.

    The initiative is guided by four foundational goals: support cutting-edge research to solve women’s most pressing brain health challenges; translate groundbreaking lab research into accessible community resources; equip women with research-backed knowledge to make proactive, informed brain health decisions; and drive public awareness of how unique female biological transitions impact lifelong brain function.

    Moving forward, the Women’s Brain Health Initiative will highlight Rutgers faculty leading female brain health research, host distinguished global speakers advancing the field and publish research-vetted toolkits and public resources for women’s brain health. This month, the Initiative is proud to highlight the work of Tracey Shors, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychology at Rutgers-New Brunswick, with a powerful and hopeful message: the female brain is not defined by stress or trauma — it is dynamic, resilient and capable of remarkable recovery.

    Leading the initiative is Ioana Carcea, associate professor in the Department of Pharmacology, Physiology and Neuroscience at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and a core faculty member at the Brain Health Institute. Carcea heads a systems neuroscience laboratory exploring the intersections of social behavior, physiology and health, with a focus on how biological states shape maternal and social behaviors and how life experiences alter brain function and long-term health.

    “Women’s physiology poses unique challenges to brain function and behavior. Across puberty, pregnancy and menopause, the female brain undergoes extraordinary biological transitions that shape vulnerability and resilience to mental and neurological disorders,” Carcea said. “Now we have the tools, the knowledge and the will to understand how the female brain navigates multiple profound transitions across the lifespan. I am excited for the WBHI to be at the forefront of this emerging area of research.”

  • Learn CPR, save a life: Lodge Keys and GVK Green Health Services offer hands-on training on June 6

    Learn CPR, save a life: Lodge Keys and GVK Green Health Services offer hands-on training on June 6

     Watchmen, domestic servants, street vendors, auto/cab drivers, security guards, and students are especially invited

    Hyderabad, June 3: Lodge Keys No. 297, the city’s primary unit of Freemasonry, will organise a CPR Training Programme on June 6, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM at the Goshamahal Baradari Masonic Building, Goshamahal, in collaboration with GVK Green Health Services (formerly GVK EMRI).

    The programme is part of Lodge Keys’ community outreach initiative, “Be a CPR Ambassador”, which aims to train 1,000 citizens in the life-saving skill of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

    CPR is a critical first-aid technique used when a person’s heart stops beating or when breathing ceases. Immediate CPR administered during the “golden minutes” before professional medical help arrives can significantly improve the chances of survival.

    Over the past one-and-a-half years, Lodge Keys has successfully trained 758 citizens in CPR free of cost and is now just 242 participants away from achieving its target of 1,000 CPR Ambassadors. In addition, more than 1,400 people have been reached through awareness seminars, and the organisation aims to educate over 10,000 citizens through public awareness programmes eventually.

    The June 6 programme will feature hands-on practical training conducted by certified trainers from GVK Green Health Services. Participants will practise CPR on mannequins, enabling them to gain confidence and develop the skills required to respond effectively during emergencies.

    In addition to CPR, participants will also receive AED (Automated External Defibrillator) familiarisation training. An AED is a portable device used during sudden cardiac arrest. While CPR helps maintain blood circulation to the brain and other vital organs, an AED can analyse the heart’s rhythm and, when necessary, deliver an electric shock to help restore a normal heartbeat.

    The AED module will cover: Recognition of sudden cardiac arrest, Safe operation of an AED, Correct placement of electrode pads, Understanding and following AED voice prompts, When to administer CPR and when to use an AED and How CPR and AED work together to improve survival outcomes

    The organisers believe that CPR and AED training should be accessible to all sections of society. Therefore, individuals who can afford the training are requested to contribute a participation fee of ₹1,000. Those who are unable to pay will be accommodated free of cost.

    “We do not want the ability to save a life to depend on one’s ability to pay. Anyone willing to learn CPR should have the opportunity to do so,” said the organisers.

    Lodge Keys especially invites security guards, watchmen, auto and cab drivers, street vendors, domestic workers, housekeeping staff, students, and other community members to take advantage of this opportunity. Employers and institutions are also encouraged to nominate such individuals for free training.

    Participation is limited to 40 persons on a first-come, first-served basis. Prior registration and confirmation are mandatory.

    For registration and participation, please contact: D. Ramchandram – 98480 42020; P. Veerabhadrudu – 93910 39047; Arun Selgam – 98491 75197 and G. Ashok Kumar – 94402 26960

    Individuals, NGOs, philanthropists, and corporations interested in supporting this life-saving initiative are encouraged to contact D. Ramchandram at 98480 42020 and partner with Lodge Keys to create more CPR Ambassadors.
