Leveraging geographic information systems (GIS) in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) research: a systematic review of applications and challenges

Pradhan Sojen,Pradhan Biswajeet,Joshi Abhasha 대한공간정보학회 2025 Spatial Information Research Vol.33 No.2

Safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) are essential for the health, well-being, and socio-economic development of communities. Despite global efforts, the challenge of providing safe access to WASH service persists, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play a pivotal role in understanding and addressing these challenges by enabling the monitoring, mapping, and analysis of WASH facilities and their impacts. This systematic literature review aims to comprehensively understand how GIS is being used in WASH research. The review reveals that GIS is being used in various aspects of WASH, including mapping and monitoring of WASH facilities, spatial analysis of WASH-related health outcomes, and planning. The review also highlights the challenges of using GIS in WASH, such as data availability and quality, integration of technological advancement and adoption of a comprehensive approach. The review provides valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working in the field of WASH.

Righting Precarious Lives: Violence, Vulnerability and Responsibility for the Other

Jajati K. Pradhan 부산대학교 한국민족문화연구소 2017 Localities Vol.7 No.-

As we live in the world today, as we experience our life in our global connectedness, we very much come witness a more vulnerable and uncertain world structured by violence (both material and ideological) across the matrix of race, class, sex, colour, nation and other identitarian and differential categories leading to the precariousness of life. In context of the governance of everyday life and in such differential arrangement certain lives are recognized as livable lives (and, so, valuable lives) while others are not in the normative frame of the “human” owing to the devaluation and dehumanization of these lives who have always been branded as (human) Others and, as a result, subjected to violence, vulnerability and precarity. The critical implication of such a state of life is profound in the sense that it imposes ethical obligation upon the global community to respond and redress with collective responsibility the specters of injustice and suffering. At the center of this (in)human state of affairs lies a certain idea and operation of the “human” or “Humanism” premised on the Enlightenment and its legacy that has come under scrutiny in recent critical humanistic scholarship. This presses the need for rethinking and remaking of the human through an alternative scheme of thought, knowledge and subject-production toward an ethically grounded collective mode of living through the acknowledgement of interdependency and relationality. Informed by this theoretical optic and drawing on the ethical scholarship of Derrida, Butler and Jajati K. Pradhan Levinas, specifically their critical take on violence and responsibility, this paper argues that to resist and redress violence it is critically imperative to work toward a relational social ontology by reworking the human subjectivity for the collective wellbeing of all (precarious) lives.

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Urinary Bladder Managed by Laparoscopic Partial Cystectomy

Manas Ranjan Pradhan,Priyadarshi Ranjan,Ram Nawal Rao,Saurabh Sudhir Chipde,Krishna Pradhan,Rakesh Kapoor 대한비뇨의학회 2013 Investigative and Clinical Urology Vol.54 No.11

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder is a rare mesenchymal tumor with uncertain malignant potential. It often mimics soft tissue sarcomas both clinically and radiologically. Surgical resection in the form of partial cystectomy or transurethral resection remains the mainstay of treatment. Herein we report the case of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in a young girl, which was managed by laparoscopic partial cystectomy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of laparoscopic management of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder.

Use of OSL and TL of Electronic Components of Portable Devices for Retrospective Accident Dosimetry

Pradhan, A.S.,Lee, J.I.,Kim, J.L. Trans Tech Publications, Ltd. 2013 Defect and Diffusion Forum Vol.347 No.-

<P>Growing apprehensions of radiological accidents and terroristic attacks have intensified research efforts to find materials with appropriate radiation sensitivity that are carried close to human body, are ubiquitously available and which can be used as fortuitous dosimeters in rapid determination of doses of individuals after radiation exposure. In this respect, thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of chip cards and electronic components of personal objects have been recently evaluated by researchers in several countries. OSL and TL signal of chip cards is attributed to SiO2 grains contained in the epoxy layers used for controlling the thixotropic properties whereas the radiation induced signal in electronic components (resistors, resonators, capacitors, ICs, antenna switches, etc.) of personal objects (mobile phones, USB flash drive, MP3 players, etc.) is attributed to the ceramic contents, especially to Al2O3 based substrates.</P>

Harnessing the Polarizability of Conjugated Alkynes toward [2 + 2] Cycloaddition, Alkenylation, and Ring Expansion of Indoles

Pradhan, Tapas R.,Kim, Hong Won,Park, Jin Kyoon American Chemical Society 2018 ORGANIC LETTERS Vol.20 No.17

<P>Reported is the utilization of electronically biased conjugated alkynes in the development of highly diastereo- and regioselective dearomative [2 + 2] cycloadditions, alkenylations, and ring expansions of electron-rich indoles. Regioselective protonations of cross- and linear-conjugated alkynes were found to be crucial for accessing various cyclobutene-fused indoline and alkenylated indole derivatives. Furthermore, the facile ring expansion of [2 + 2] keto adducts, which were successfully synthesized from ynones, provided 1<I>H</I>-benzo[<I>b</I>]azepine scaffolds.</P> [FIG OMISSION]</BR>

Free vibration of functionally graded thin elliptic plates with various edge supports

Pradhan, K.K.,Chakraverty, S. 국제구조공학회 2015 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.53 No.2

In this article, free vibration of functionally graded (FG) elliptic plates subjected to various classical boundary conditions has been investigated. Literature review reveals no study has been performed based on functionally graded elliptic plates till date. The mechanical kinematic relations are considered based on classical plate theory. Rayleigh-Ritz technique is used to obtain the generalized eigenvalue problem. The material properties of the FG plate are assumed to vary along thickness direction of the constituents according to power-law form. Trial functions denoting the displacement components are expressed in simple algebraic polynomial forms which can handle any edge support. The objective is to study the effect of geometric configurations and gradation of constituent volume fractions on the natural frequencies. New results for frequency parameters are incorporated after performing a test of convergence. A comparison study is carried out with existing literature for validation in special cases. Three-dimensional mode shapes for circular and elliptic FG plates are also presented with various boundary conditions at the edges.

Biodiversity and insecticide susceptibility status of major Anopheline fauna in three malariogenically stratified districts of Odisha, India

Pradhan Nitika,Hazra Rupenangshu K 한국응용곤충학회 2022 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.25 No.1

Understanding the species composition and biodiversity of anopheles mosquito population is a vital part of any malaria control intervention. Similarly, an effective malaria control strategy relies primarily on insecticides. The Anopheline diversity, composition, distribution as well as insectide susceptibility/resistance status were surveyed in three districts of Odisha viz. Kalahandi (southern hyper –endemic district), Bargarh (western meso-endemic district) and Cuttack (sub-coastal hypo-endemic district) which significantly differ from each other according to the malariogenic stratification. Anopheline fauna showed a higher species richness and diversification in Kala handi followed by Cuttack and Bargarh. An. culicifacies, the most abundant primary vector in Odisha, showed resistant to DDT as well as malathion in all three districts with a higher knockdown time in Kalahandi. Except Bargarh and Cuttack, the vector species also showed resistance to deltamethrin in Kalahandi district. The species found susceptible to deltamethrin in Cuttack while in Bargarh, its response was under ‘verification required’. In contrast, the secondary vector, An. annularis showed resistance to DDT in all three districts and to malathion in only Kalahandi district. In Cuttack and Bargarh district, their response against the insecticide malathion was under verification required. The deltamethrin susceptible populations were detected in Cuttack and Bargarh district where as in Kalahandi they came under verification required category. The current study constitutes an essential step for understanding the dynamics of malaria transmission in relation to vector diversification and their resistant status to various insecticides that can provide guide to intervention policies and programmes in the fight against malaria.
