    Mobilities in Religious Knowledge: Phiroz Mehta and the Logics of Transreligiosity in 1970s–80s South London

    This paper examines transreligiosity in the context of the transmission of South Asian concepts of spirituality to the UK in the 20th century. Between the 1920s and 1990s, Indian teacher and author Phiroz Mehta (1902–1994) crossed borders in a colonial and postcolonial shuttling between India and the UK but also transgressed conceptual and practice borders of religion, teaching Indian religious concepts to post-Christian spiritual seekers in 1970s–80s South London. Mehta cultivated an elasticity between many religious and philosophical traditions, recognising the post-institutional fatigue of subjects who sought alternative forms of ‘belonging without believing’. Privileging the domestic space for teaching, as well as transitory ‘camp’ gatherings in the UK and Germany, Mehta often operated in the social margins, combining teachings from Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity with Zoroastrianism, Judaism (specifically Kabbalah), and Daoism. He offered his tutees the freedom to practice religion in whatever way they chose by drawing on a broad range of traditions concurrently to create a transreligiosity. This paper examines Panagiotopoulos and Roussou’s ‘transgressional webs of practising individualised forms of alternative spirituality’ in relation to Mehta’s followers in the 1970s-1980s and asks how transreligiosity relates to other theoretical analyses, such as religious exoticism, bricolage, religious appropriation, cultural re-articulation or assemblage. This paper focuses on qualitative interviews with original members of the Mehta community conducted between 2021 and 2022.</p

    Design and development of a mechatronic training simulator for adult ECMO

    No full text
    Widespread adoption of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in adults has been limited by unfamiliarity with the procedure, including cannulation and safe handling of the ECMO equipment. We present the design and development of a mechatronic training simulator for ECMO that can help medical professionals acquire the needed skills, gain familiarity, and reduce errors by practicing before performing the procedure on real patients. The trainer is designed as an ultrasound-compatible, wholesome simulator with realistic components such as synthetic blood vessels, cannulation pads, and a color-changing blood simulant to simulate oxygenation and deoxygenation. The simulator is integrated with a mathematical model of human physiology to simulate real-time patient vitals and training scenarios, and to control the trainer hardware. We present results related to successful cannulation under ultrasound scanning and a simple patient scenario of hypovolemia.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Iti Mehta, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-24 at 10:58.The student, Iti Mehta, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-04-24 at 11:11.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-04-24 at 12:45.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13873 on 2019-08-22 at 15:08:02Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:36:09Z (GMT).

    Person Centred Care in Primary Practice

    No full text
    Ensuring delivery of good quality health services at the primary care level is important if we wish to improve overall health of the community. One of the pillars of quality assessment is person centred care. Person centred care is that which respects responds to, and resonates with, the necessities and needs of the individual seeking health care. In this review, we describe the various definitions of person centred care, and explore its scope and spectrum, as related to primary care. We suggest ways of incorporating person-centricity, and thus improving satisfaction with health care services in South Asia
