Decoding Vitamin D Intake: How Much Is Too Much?
No full textVitamin D has long been accepted as a vital nutrient for bone health, with past guidelines supporting supplementation to maintain optimal levels. However, the recently updated 2024 Endocrine Society guidelines introduce a more conservative approach, shifting the focus away from widespread supplementation in healthy individuals and instead emphasizing use in high-risk populations. This chapter analyzes the key changes from the previous 2011 guidelines, including the removal of strict serum level thresholds for deficiency, revised daily intake recommendations, and screening criteria. The shift reflects growing evidence suggesting that excessive vitamin D supplementation may not provide additional health benefits and can contribute to risks such as hypercalcemia, kidney dysfunction, and eventual increased healthcare costs. The commentary explains the rationale behind said changes and the value for using evidence-based supplementation. Finally, we discuss the implications of these updated guidelines on paving clinicians’ decision-making for their patients while highlighting the need for increased awareness and adherence to ensure safe and effective vitamin D consumption
Eating my words: Linguistic politics in India
No full textLanguage learning is common preparation for much anthropological fieldwork, but the choices researchers make in this area are distinctly political. Prompted by a chance encounter while studying Hindi, the author reflects on this realisation in view of the numerous languages spoken in India, the interactions involved in hospital-based research, and the place of language in Indian politics more broadly
Climate Litigation Update
No full textThe views of individuals and communities impacted by climate change do not always align with the views of governments, corporations and other enterprises regarding the extent of those enterprises’ obligation to contribute to efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. In such circumstances, an increasingly common – and increasingly effective – option for the impacted individuals and communities is to commence climate litigation against the recalcitrant enterprises. In this paper the author outlines the various strategies being adopted in climate litigation and evaluates their effectiveness in a series of recent judicial decisions, both local and international, relating to climate change generally and its impact upon coastal cities in particular

The computer is becoming as common as the telephone in every office. The use of the computer seems to be unlimited, ranging from games to sending and receiving electronic mail and transfer of large sums of money to and between bank accounts. This paper provides what the author perceives is the step-by-step advancement needed by the Government in the use of computers to transition from formal paper contracts transported by mail to the paperless contracting transported by telephone lines or satellite to contractors and between contractors and Government agencies.
This paper explains the author\u27s concept of the various elements of paperless contract evolution which must be achieved to allow the release of solicitations via computers, contractor submission of bids via computers, and the eventual award of contracts by the same means
