Question 02:
Answer: d
Supreme Court recognizes sex work as a ‘profession’.
Rights of Sex Workers
Article 21: No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law, nor shall any person be denied equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.
The Verdict
• The SC in its verdict ruled that basic protection of human decency and dignity extends to sex workers and their children.
• Criminal law must apply equally in all cases, on the basis of ‘age’ and ‘consent’.
• When it is clear that the sex worker is an adult and is participating with consent, the police must refrain from interfering or taking any criminal action.
• The Bench ordered that sex workers should not be “arrested or penalized or harassed or victimized” whenever there is a raid on any brothel, “since voluntary sex work is not illegal and only running the brothel is unlawful”.
• A child of a sex worker should not be separated from the mother merely on the ground that she is in the sex trade, the court held.
• Further, if a minor is found living in a brothel or with sex workers, it should not be presumed that the child was trafficked.
• In case the sex worker claims that he/she is her son/daughter, tests can be done to determine if the claim is correct and if so, the minor should not be forcibly separated.
• The court said media should take “utmost care not to reveal the identities of sex workers, during arrest, raid and rescue operations, whether as victims or accused and not to publish or telecast any photos that would result in disclosure of such identities”.
• Voyeurism is a criminal offense, the court reminded.

Question 01:
Answer: d
First Movers Coalition
• It is a global initiative aimed at decarbonizing the heavy industry and long-distance transport sectors responsible for 30 percent of global emissions.
• It was launched by US President Joe Biden and the WEF at COP26 as a flagship public-private partnership to clean up the most carbon-intensive sectors.
• Besides India, Denmark, Italy, Japan, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have also joined the US as government partners to create early markets for clean technologies through policy measures and private sector engagements.
• India, along with Japan and Sweden, has also joined the steering board of the coalition.
• Led by the WEF and the US government, the First Movers Coalition targets sectors, including aluminum, aviation, chemicals, concrete, shipping, steel, and trucking.

Question 02:
Answer: c
Direct Liquid Cooling Technology
• Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) uses the exceptional thermal conductivity of liquid to provide dense, concentrated cooling to targeted areas.
• By using DLC and warm water, the dependence on fans and expensive air handling systems is drastically reduced.
• There are six basic types of liquid cooling systems: Liquid-to-liquid; Closed-loop dry system; Closed-loop dry system with trim cooling; Open-loop evaporative system; Closed-loop evaporative system; Chilled water system.
PARAM PORUL
• PARAM PORUL supercomputing facility is established under Phase 2 of the National Supercomputing Mission to Facilitate Computational Research.
• PARAM PORUL system is based on Direct Contact Liquid Cooling technology to obtain a high power usage effectiveness and thereby reducing the operational cost.
