Mapping Linguistic Sociality in Rural India: Children and Youths\u27 Perceptions of Self and Language in Space
No full text“I am only drawing the places where Marathi is spoken,” Rekha1 told her friends as they drew maps in their school dormitory on a leisurely weekend in July 2022. Marathi is the official language of the western Indian state of Maharashtra. Rekha and the majority of her peers belong to a Denotified Tribe community across India whose name and language are both called Banjara. Multilingual Banjara students in rural Maharashtra navigate a setting that includes schools where the language of instruction is not the language spoken in their socially and linguistically segregated hamlets, known as tandas (Ramaswamy and Bhukya 2002; Shah and Bara 2020). We asked the girls and young women between the ages of 11 and 17, to draw a freehand map that showed their understanding of places surrounding them and languages that they use or know to be used in those locations. As researchers, we are non-Banjara women from Marathi and English-speaking urban backgrounds and while the young women freely spoke in Banjara amongst themselves, we spoke Marathi with them. Our gender made it possible to spend time with the girls and young women who drew the maps in their female-only dormitory. Out of 23 maps, we explore four which most clearly help us to understand how Banjara youth make sense of their identities within a multilingual landscape and its spatial organization through language. Not only do we consider how Banjara children and youth understand places that they navigate on a regular basis, such as their home tanda, other villages, and school, but also how language negotiations are a part of that process

Trends in the Utilization of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) Procedures by Race and Ethnicity in Florida (2006-2017)
Get PDFAbstract
Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is an increasingly common treatment option for individuals with severe obesity, but utilization disparities remain with race and ethnic minority groups completing the procedure less frequently than non-Hispanic Whites. We examined the trends in MBS procedure types and prevalence of utilization by race and ethnicity among Florida inpatients.
Discharge records with any MBS using the International Classification of Diseases 9th or 10th edition Procedure Coding System (ICD-PCS), were extracted from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) inpatients’ data (2006 to 2017). Those who completed either Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG), Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB), LAGB Revision and Repair (LAGBREV), or LAGB Removal (LAGBREM) were included in the analysis. Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests evaluated the trend over time for MBS procedure by race and ethnicity.
The sample (n = 90,845) was predominantly non-Hispanic White (NHW, 61.7%), female (75.5%), had a commercial insurance carrier (50.0%), and severe obesity (92.3%). Significant trends (p \u3c 0.05) in three MBS procedures were observed: decreasing trends for LAGB (36.2% in 2008 to 0.3% in 2017) and for RYGB (52.2% in 2009 to 20.3% in 2017) and an increasing trend for SG (18.7% in 2010 to 75.3% in 2017). Regardless of procedure type, NHW had the highest proportion of MBS in all years. More non-Hispanic Blacks received LAGB compared to Hispanics in 2006 through 2016. From 2009 to 2017, more Hispanics received RYGB compared to the NHB inpatients.
RYGB was the prevalent procedure from 2006 to 2012 but was later (2013-2017) replaced by SG in Florida hospitals. The diversity in MBS procedures among race-ethnic groups in Florida may indicate social-cultural drivers and should be further investigated
