  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

  • Reduction of Healthcare Associated Infections Through the Use of Pulsed Xenon Ultraviolet Disinfection
    InfectionControl.tips Join. Contribute. Make A Difference. http://infectioncontrol.tips Reduction of Healthcare Associated Infections through the use of Pulsed Xenon Ultraviolet Disinfection By: Dr. Mark Stibich Reviewed by: Andrew Duong Date : May 13, 2016 Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are a global problem, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths each year, life-long disability to some survivors, and requiring billions of dollars of additional care. While the rate of device- and procedure-associated infections have shown improvement within United States acute care facilities, greater consideration should be given to other well- established sources of infection; such as the contaminated hospital environment [1]. The link between the environment and HAIs is best explained by what is known as the ‘prior room occupancy risk’ [2]. Patients admitted to rooms that were previously occupied by patients infected with common multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) such as Clostridium difficile [3] (C. diff), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) [4] and Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) [5] have been found to be at a 2.5, 1.5 and 2.25 times increased risk for developing the same infection, respectively [6]. Since there is no direct contact between the two patients, this risk of infection is almost exclusively associated with the environment. If not properly disinfected, these MDROs can linger on high touch surfaces for weeks to months, serving as a continued transmission risk for many future patients [7]. A growing number of healthcare organizations have turned to an innovative pulsed xenon ultraviolet (UV) light technology to complement standard cleaning protocols, with a goal to decrease HAIs. Pulsed xenon UV (PX-UV) disinfection (introduced to the healthcare market in 2010 by Xenex Disinfection Services) is the only UV disinfection technology shown to help hospitals effectively reduce their HAI rates and the body of evidence continues to mount [5-12].
