Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response01:29

Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response

520
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

347
Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

526
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Observational Studies01:11

Observational Studies

11.1K
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

Studying the Cytoskeleton01:17

Studying the Cytoskeleton

9.4K
The cytoskeletal architecture can be studied using different microscopic and biochemical techniques. Electron microscopy was instrumental in discovering the cytoskeletal architecture around the 1960s, which allowed obtaining structural information at a high-resolution level. However, the sample preparation procedure often limits this ability in biological samples. Several protocols have been developed over the years to optimize sample preparation. In one of the protocols known as rotary...

Area of Science:

  • Disaster Studies
  • Social Sciences
  • Cultural Geography

Background:

  • Disaster studies claims innovation yet often retains problematic tenets of the hazard paradigm.
  • The vulnerability paradigm, over 40 years old, has not fully displaced the hazard paradigm.
  • Western epistemologies and scholars continue to dominate disaster studies, perpetuating orientalist views.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To interrogate the persistence of the anomaly where disaster studies upholds outdated hazard concepts.
  • To analyze the dominance of Western epistemologies in disaster studies using Antonio Gramsci's concept of hegemony.
  • To propose a research agenda for subaltern disaster studies, emphasizing local knowledge and epistemologies.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis employing Antonio Gramsci's concept of hegemony.
  • Critical interrogation of existing disaster studies literature and paradigms.
  • Conceptualization of a decolonized research agenda for disaster studies.

Main Results:

  • Disaster studies remains dominated by Western perspectives, hindering critical innovation.
  • Hegemony of Western scholarship perpetuates orientalist views of disasters.
  • A need exists to challenge the status quo and embrace diverse epistemologies.

Conclusions:

  • Resisting the hegemony of Western scholarship is crucial for advancing disaster studies.
  • Prioritizing local researchers analyzing local disasters with local epistemologies is essential.
  • Relocating disaster studies to its original political agenda will foster more equitable and relevant research.
