They Prove in Digestion Sour: Medicine, an Obstinacy of Organs, and the Appointments of the Body
Authors: Waterman Adam John
Published: May 2022

This chapter deals with the concept of medicine as it is foregrounded in Indigenous and settler cultures, looking to the ways in which settler medicine was part of the biopolitics of capital, the administration of the body and the annihilation of its affects, and the foreclosure of bodily desire. Indigenous medicine, in contrast, draws upon forms of ephemeral experience, of feelings, of dreams, to reconfigure the body; or reconfigures the body to bring about experiences of the ephemeral. Reading the work of Dr. William Beaumont, an army surgeon who served in the Black Hawk War, this chapter looks to Beaumont’s experiments in digestion with his captive subject, Alexis St. Martin, to explore the excesses and limitations of desire in relation to food. Proper respect for the digestive process and the suppression of the desire for more is essential to the maintenance of the capacity for labor. As a counterpoint, this chapter looks to Black Hawk’s 1833 narrative for an account of medicine as an embodied practice that is nonetheless best understood in relation to dreaming and mourning, ways of relating to the ineffable that are personally and socially transformative and that are unforgivably slow, stealing time, labor, and value.
Improvement and impact study of satellite derived CMVs over Indian region

Published: May 2022

The derivation of Cloud Motion Vectors (CMVs) using infrared data has been started from  Kalpana-1 in April 2003 and from INSAT-3A recently. In the present technique, the quality check of CMVs was carried out with LAM Model forecast data, which covers the area 40° E - 129° E and 29° S - 45° N).  The CMVs derived below the 29° south were rejected due to non availability of LAM Model forecast data. Recently, the LAM Model forecast is replaced by global forecast and therefore CMVs are now derived over larger area (40° E - 129° E and 45° S - 45° N) resulting a significant increase in the number of good quality CMVs. These CMVs are put on GTS for end users. The Integrated Satellite Wind Monitoring NWP SAF site has recently started storing and monitoring of Kalpana-1 and INSAT-3A derived CMVs. The statistical error analysis has been carried out for the CMVs with different NWP models in order to identify and distinguish error contributions from satellite winds and NWP models. Further, in this paper, we have examined the impact of these data in the MM5 NWP model for a cyclone case study. This study demonstrates the impact of these data in the model to capture wind circulation, surface pressure and rainfall. The impact of additional CMVs data in the model is found positive and beneficial.

Published: May 2022

The potential groundwater zones in parts of Kagna river basin of Gulburga district, Karnataka, have been delineated on the basis of geomorphic units alongwith geological setting, lineaments indicating bore well locations using remote sensing and GIS. The study area covers an area of 1318 sq km and it is divided into Wadi, Chitapur, Sedam and Kurkunta sub-basins which range in area from 184 to 537 sq km.  Lithologically, the area consists of basement gneisses with granites overlain by conglomerate, sandstone, shale and limestone with a thin cover of Deccan basalts.  Hydrogeomorphologically, the entire area is classified into escarpment slope, pediments, pediment inselberg complex, shallow pediplains, moderate pediplains, slightly to highly dissected and undissected plateaus, valleys and shallow valley fills. The lineaments representing drainages and dykes are oriented in NNW, NW, EW and NE directions. Most of boreholes are located nearer to the lineaments indicating that the lineaments are acting as pathways for the movement of groundwater. Based on lineament and hydrogeomorphic analysis, it is suggested that the valley fills and moderate pediplains are very good to good, shallow pediplains and dissected plateau are good to moderate, pediments are moderate to poor and the pediment inselburg complex and escarpment slope are the poor to very poor potential groundwater zones.

 Western Himalaya receives enormous amount of precipitation in the form of snow due to eastward moving synoptic weather system called western disturbance (WD). MM5 a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model, provides precipitation forecast over a grid. Statistical downscaling of NWP output can improve forecast accuracy. In this study artificial neural network (ANN), a non linear method is used to downscale MM5 model forecast to location specific precipitation forecast over western Himalaya. Data of winter months (November to March) from 2003 to 2008 are considered for the study. Data from 2003 to 2007 is used for training and data of winter 2007-2008 is used for validation purpose. In the training process the input-output relationship is extracted and final weight matrix are computed.

 One of the  fallouts of the global warming is the increase in frequency of extreme events like cyclones, heavy rainfall, flood, droughts and heat waves etc, across different parts of the world on varying scale/intensity. Climate variability and occurrence of extreme weather events are the major concerns for socio-economic well being of the region. During the period March to May 2010, Gujarat experienced moderate to severe heat wave condition with record number of days with heat waves in most of the districts of Gujarat. This study was undertaken to analyze the decadal climatology of extreme high temperature conditions over Gujarat. The decadal analysis carried out in the study indicated that the number of moderate heat wave days and severe heat wave days are highest in the last decade as compared to earlier three decades in more than 70 per cent of the stations. The districts of Ahmedabad, Baroda, Rajkot, Banaskantha (Deesa) and Sabarkantha (Idar) show increase in moderate heat waves in the last decade (2001-2010). Various IMD Stations like Baroda, Deesa, Kandla and Idar have recorded all time highest temperatures in the last decade. The summer maximum temperature anomalies of five non coastal stations of Gujarat also indicate a high positive anomaly (upto 4 °C) prevalent in the last decade. The paper also analyses the synoptic condition during the severe heat wave of May, 2010.

 Floods are caused by the inadequate capacity within the banks of rivers to contain the high flows brought down from the upper catchments due to heavy rainfall. The sub-divisions Assam and Meghalaya and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal from northeastern parts of India are prone to flood conditions in the southwest monsoon season.  In the present study an attempt has been made to give the probabilities computed by first order Markov chain model with certain threshold value for 2 and 3 consecutive wet weeks for selected districts of the sub-divisions Assam and Meghalaya and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal. The critical periods identified for certain region when probabilities of wet spells exceed 80% may lead to give awareness and planning for heavy rainfall in those areas.

Authors: RAHA GN , BHATTACHARJEE K , DAS M , DUTTA M , BANDYOPADHYAY S
Published: May 2022

This article presents the study of recent trends of surface temperature and rainfall over some selected stations of North Bengal based on 30 years' data (1979-2008). The study revealed that the degree of warming are more pronounced over two most rapidly developing towns of Jalpaiguri and Malda which may be attributed to rapid urbanization and infrastructure development taking place in the districts; the degree of warming observed over Malda being more pronounced than that over Jalpaiguri and it is the least over Balurghat. Also, the intensity of seasonal as well as annual cumulative rainfall over Balurghat is increasing more significantly; the increase in intensity being most significant during the pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons; the geographical location and orography of Balurghat, the least developed town, may be attributed to such an increase.

Authors: KUMAR NEERAJ , PISAL RR , SHUKLA SP , PANDEY KK
Published: May 2022

Multiple regression models were developed for yield forecasting of paddy, sugarcane and wheat for two districts of Gujarat (Navsari and Bharuch). The historical weather and crop yield data of 31 years of Navsari (1980-2010) and 27 years of Bharuch (1984-2010) were used. The data of de-trend yield and generated weather variables for 27 years of Navsari (1980-2006) and 23 years of Bharuch (1984-2006) were used for generation of the model for both districts. Significant weather variables are obtained on the basis of highest R2 and significant P-value. The multiple regression analysis was executed by trial and error method. The models were validated with 4 years independent data set (2007 to 2010) of these two districts. During the validation period, Navsari district model deviations for paddy, sugarcane and wheat were between -7.30 to 3.41%, 1.68 to 2.05% and -8.27 to 11.51% respectively. Similarly Bharuch model deviations for paddy, sugarcane and wheat were between 5.35 to 11.76%, -12.65 to 7.18% and -12.07 to 6.86% respectively.

Published: May 2022

The spatial distribution of Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) is studied by selecting stations that are drawn from the Koppen Climate spectrum of India that spread the length and breadth of the country using the modified Penman potential evapotranspiration equation. Annual and seasonal PET trends are reported. Variation of mean seasonal PET for the country as whole for all the four meteorological seasons and its rate of change are graphically shown. Anomalies in the annual and seasonal PET for the epoch of 1961-1995 with reference to the base period 1931-1960 are brought out. Distribution of climatic types over India according to Koppens climate classification for the period 1951-1980 are presented along with the changes that occurred compared to earlier report. Koppen climate types are characterized in terms of PET to P ratio expressed in percentage. Significant decreasing, increasing and no trend are noticed in annual PET both in space and time. Annual PET for the country as a whole is increased in the latter half of the 20th century. The mean seasonal potential evapotranspiration to precipitation ratio is found to be increased from tropical monsoon climates to dry climate types.

Rainfall is very crucial for the economic development, disaster management, hydrological planning for the country. In the context of climate change, it is pertinent to ascertain whether the characteristic of Indian rainfall is also changing. Using daily rainfall data for the period of 1907-2012 analysis were carried out, to find out the change in rainfall and frequency of rainfall intensity. Results indicated that the annual rainfall is not dependable. Contribution of NEM to the total rainfall is 50.3 percent which was followed by SWM (26.3%). Contribution of NEM during every 30 years of periods was constantly increasing and the increasing trend was statistically significant at 95% confidence level. Total number of rainy days (very light, light, moderate, rather heavy, heavy, very heavy rainy days) during the study period was 80.2 days, in which the frequency of very light rainy days (35.0 days) was highest followed by light (20.7 days) and moderate rainy days (20.8 days). Trend analysis was done for all categories of rainfall to find out the presence of increasing or decreasing trend. Total number of rainy days slightly gets decreasing in all the seasons except NEM where the rainy days are increasing but the changes were not statistically significant. The results showed that there is no change in long term of monthly, seasonal, annual rainfall and frequency of rainy days. Hence, it can be concluded that there is no climate change observed over Coimbatore.

Climate is a primary determinant of agricultural productivity. In turn, food and fibber production is essential for sustaining and enhancing human welfare. The trends of maximum atmospheric temperature, rainfall are analysed for meteorological data of Anand district in Central Gujarat India. Rainfall distribution over India is highly erratic and uncertain both in time and space. Heavy rainfall for short period and some times continuous dry spell creates problems for crop growth. Therefore, it is necessary to study the rainfall analysis for developing farming system which may help to increase and stabilize agricultural production through better use of natural resources. Monthly rainfall over Anand showed increasing trend in August and September with decreasing trend in June and July. Such trend was more evident in since in 1971 onwards. It revealed that the monthly rainfall during July decreasing trend while August and September is in increasing trend. Such phenomenon was more evident since 1971 onwards. The positive value of Mann-Kendall test statistic (0.459) indicated that rainfall during southwest monsoon season had an increasing trend tendency which was significant in 0.05 levels. The rainfall of August was highly variable and undependable followed by September. The occurrence of excess and deficient rainfall when compared to that of normal was seen in more or less equal numbers of years. The rainfall range and its variability was less during deficient rainfall years when compared to that of excess rainfall years. During June month, the rainfall series showing significant (0.05) level in sub periods 1961-1990 (-0.340). In July month the series is showing significant level in sub periods like 1901-1930 (0.261), 1931-1960 (0.483) and 1961-1990 (0.261). In the August month the series is showing significant level in sub periods like 1931-1960 (0.655) and 1991-2011 (0.853). In the month of September the rainfall series is showing the significant level in sub periods like 1901-1930 (0.335), 1931-1960 (0.596) and 1991-2011(0.389).

Introduction: Several androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) medications are available for treating advanced prostate cancer with roughly equivalent oncological efficacy and tolerability. We investigated the proportion of physicians who predominantly prescribe one type of ADT drug (“mono-prescriber”) and assessed characteristics associated with prescription behavior.
Methods: Ontario men aged ≥65 years who were diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer (1997–2017) and initiated ADT thereafter for ≥3 consecutive months were identified using population-level administrative data. Their first prescription for injectable ADT was linked to a physician, and urologists with ≥10 prescriptions over the study period were included in the analysis (n=282). Urologists were classified as high mono-prescribers if ≥80% of their prescriptions were for one drug type. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association of physician characteristics with the odds of being a high mono-prescriber.
Results: Overall, 67 (23.8%) of urologists were classified as high mono-prescribers but the frequency varied across health planning regions. The most commonly prescribed drugs and those used by mono-prescribers were goserelin (41.8% and 56.7%) and leuprolide (44.3% and 43.3%), respectively. In multivariable analysis, the odds of a physician being a high mono-prescriber were higher with more years in practice (odds ratio [OR] 1.06/ year, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03–1.09, p<0.0001) and lower for higher patient volume (OR 0.33 for above vs. below median, 95% CI 0.17–0.63, p=0.0008).
Conclusions: Overall, one in four urologists were classified as high mono-prescribers. Mono-prescribers had more years in practice and smaller volume practices, potentially suggesting habitual prescription behavior and/or the effect of external pressures.

Introduction: In pediatric surgery, proxy decision-makers are frequently involved in treatment planning and may experience decisional conflict (DC). Shared decision-making (SDM) approaches may be effective to remedy DC. This study investigates DC and SDM involvement in elective pediatric penile surgery.
Methods: Forty-four parents of children aged <8 years undergoing elective penile surgery consultations at a tertiary pediatric hospital were prospectively enrolled. Patient and physician questionnaires were used to assess the SDM process and the SURE (Sure of myself; Understand information; Risk-benefit ratio; Encouragement) screening test was used to assess DC.
Results: Thirty-seven (84.1%) mothers and seven (15.9%) fathers were enrolled for circumcision (n=33, 75.0%) and distal hypospadias repair (n=11, 25.0%) consultations, with 21 (47.7%) choosing to proceed with surgery. Seven (15.9%) participants experienced clinically significant DC. Participant gender was not associated with higher levels of DC (p=0.318). The average patient and physician SDM scores were 88.2±10.0 and 85.3±7.4, respectively, with no correlation found between participant and physician perception of SDM involvement (p=0.168, p=0.276). DC was significantly associated with lower participant and physician ratings of SDM.
Conclusions: There was a high perception of SDM involvement by both parents and pediatric urologists regarding elective penile surgery. Of the 15% of parents experiencing DC, there was an association with lower participant and physician levels of SDM involvement. Despite high SDM scores overall, discrepancies exist between the perceived physician and participant SDM involvement.

Authors: Lapointe Élisabeth , Singbo Narcisse , Naud Élizabeth , Bolduc Stéphane
Published: May 2022

Introduction: In 2017, propiverine was approved in Canada for overactive bladder (OAB) in adults and children. There is, however, scarce data on its efficacy and tolerability in the pediatric population. Our primary objective was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of propiverine as a treatment for pediatric OAB. Our secondary objective was to compare propiverine to molecules already investigated in historical cohorts.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database and reviewed 58 patients who received propiverine since 2017. Efficacy and tolerability were assessed through voiding diaries, postvoid residuals (PVR), changes in the number of incontinence episodes and urgency episodes (grade 1 to 3), and on reported adverse events.
Results: In total, 58 patients (37 boys) initiated treatment at a mean age of 9.5±3.2 years. Patients were on propiverine for an average of 15.9±12.4 months. Mean bladder capacity increased from 120 ml to 216 ml, and % expected bladder capacity (%EBC) increased from 37% to 59%. The average increased rate of %EBC was 0.5% per month (p<0.001). Of the 58 patients, eight stopped the medication completely without symptom recurrence, 21 were still on medication, and six were on dose-tapering. Due to side effects, seven interrupted their treatment. Compared to molecules used in our service, propiverine offered comparable efficacy and tolerability. Our study had limitations, including the absence of a placebo group and its retrospective design.
Conclusions: Propiverine appears as an efficient and safe option for treating OAB in children and is approved for use in children.

Introduction: During the first regional COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020, we conducted a study aimed at evaluating completeness of telemedicine consultation in urology. Of 1679 consultations, 67% were considered completely managed by phone. The aim of the present study was to assess patients’ experience and satisfaction with telemedicine and to compare them with urologists’ perceptions about quality and completeness of the telemedicine consultation.
Methods: We contacted a randomly selected sample of patients (n=356) from our previous study to enquire about their experience. We used a home patient experience questionnaire, inspired by the Patient Experiences Questionnaire for Out-of-Hours Care (PEQ-OHC) and the Consumer Assessment Health Profile Survey (CAHPS).
Results: Of 356 patients contacted, 315 agreed to complete the questionnaire. Urological consultations were for non-oncological (104), oncological (121), cancer suspicion (41), and pediatric (49) indications. Mean patient satisfaction score after telemedicine consultation was 8.8/10 (median 9/10) and 86.3% of patients rated the quality of the consultation as either excellent (54.6%) or very good (31.7%). Consultations regarding cancer suspicion had the lowest score (8.3/10). Overall, 46.7% of all patients would have preferred an in-person visit outside of the pandemic situation. Among patients whose consultations were rated suboptimal by urologists, almost a third more (31.2%) would have preferred an in-person visit (p=0.03).
Conclusions: Despite high reported patient satisfaction rates with telemedicine, it is noteworthy that nearly half of the patients would have preferred an in-person visit. Post-pandemic, it will be important to incorporate telemedicine as an alternative, while retaining and offering in-person visits.
THE PHILOSOPHY AND LAW OF INFORMATION REGULATION IN INDIA
Authors:   Centre for Law and Policy Research, Krishnaswamy Sudhir , Joshi Divij
Published: May 2022

India is immersed in several simultaneous battles over the regulation and control of information. While the COVID-19 pandemic has ignited concerns over state-mandated information gathering of the health and personal information of residents, the expanded use of the Aadhaar biometric identity system threatens to make it an essential cipher for every interaction between the state and citizens. At the same time, the earlier momentum towards building strong legislative mandates to disclose public information to promote government accountability and enhance service delivery appears to have stalled. Further, the legislative efforts to regulate both public and private use of personal and non-personal information proceeds at a glacial pace. While these developments occur in different containers and niches of the legal ecosystem, they are grounded in one common conceptual, philosophical and legal puzzle: how should we regulate the access to, and the use of, information by public and private actors? This question becomes all the more salient with the surge in new forms of information collection and processing at a speed and scale made possible by big data collection and algorithmic decision-making technologies. ‘The Philosophy and Law of Information Regulation in India’ project is an effort to collate inter-disciplinary scholarship on the subject of the law and philosophy of information regulation, with a specific focus on India. We recognise that such an effort cannot be bound by legal scholarship alone, and must encompass and contend with the normative assumptions of various approaches towards information technologies.

Quarry is a small scale industry generating materials used for construction, thus contributing to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country. This study was carried out to evaluate the socio-economic and health impact of quarry on the inhabitants of Kenta Logemo Village in Odeda Local Government Area, Ogun State. The sampling was carried out in three different distances (100, 200, 300 m) around the quarry site and 1000 m (control). The air quality monitored are (gaseous component) CO2 NO2, CO, volcanic organic compound (VOC) and particulate matters (PM) and noise level. Thirty copies of questionnaire were administered to the workers and inhabitants. The result showed that the gaseous pollutants were more pronounced at 100 m and there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) among the distances and they were below Federal Ministry of Environment (FmEnv) limit. The PM10 at 200 m (137.1 ug/m3 ) was highest among three types of particulate matters and distances monitored. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) across distances from the quarry. Noise level ranges from 59.3 to 86.3 dB(A) and higher than the control (50. 8 dB(A) but below FmEnv limit (90 dB(A). The analysis of the questionnaire revealed that the vegetation (40.0 %) and animal (46.7 %) were into extinction and threatened and dust (30.0 %) covered food or cash crops. Water bodies were affected by taste, colour and turbidity (63.3 %). Among the diseases suffered were catarrh (53.3 %) and eye irritation (46.7 %). In conclusion, the surrounding of the quarry is not polluted with CO2 NO2, CO, VOC, PM and noise but there is significant effect of the activity of quarry on the health and socio-economic of the inhabitants hence, improved the economic status.
Potential Threats to Audit Firm Independence: Evidence from Italy on Audit Quality
Authors: Marinoni Marco Angelo , Fellegara Anna Maria , Lippi Andrea
Published: May 2022

Purpose – This study aims to investigate the potential threats to the independence of an auditor who provides both auditing and non-audit services (NAS), in terms of credibility of and confidence in audit quality.

Design/methodology/approach – In this study, we first replicate the results of Campa and Donnelly (2016) using hand-collected publicly available data for a sample of 91 Italian manufacturing public companies audited by a Big 4 and non-Big 4 audit firm over a longer time horizon (2015˗2019) using the panel data approach, based on three interconnected regression models.

Findings – Previous studies in this area did not find a unique interpretation of the association between auditor independence and provision of NAS. Our findings reveal that auditor independence, as measured by the magnitude of discretionary accruals, is compromised by the provision of NAS, especially when unexpected audit fees are lower than expected. Enhanced credibility can lead to greater confidence in audit value. This study’s results should be of interest to European and U.S. legislators, to improve financial reporting quality.

Originality/value – In the wake of the global financial crisis and loss of confidence in the role of auditors, this study investigates the supposed threats, to to aim to enhance the credibility of and confidence in audit quality, especially in settings outside the Anglosphere. This study would contribute to the literature to support the more binding approach for audit firms.
