EBook Description: The knowledge of a country�s history and past cultural and scientific achievements is a central part of its self-consciousness. India is unique in having unbroken cultural traditions reaching back almost four thousand years. Those traditions have changed and evolved, but much ancient practice and belief survives even today in India: the brahmin priest still murmurs prayers from the second millennium BC; the villager cleans his tongue with a scraper described in medical texts from the time of the Buddha. Since science is such an important, even defining, element of modern international culture it is natural to seek India�s historical contribution to this field. The contribution is there, and it is real. During the latter part of the second millennium BC, the eastward migrations of the Indo-European peoples reached South Asia.1 The ritual liturgy of these peoples was memorized wholesale by families of hereditary priests. By extraordinary feats of memory and tradition 1028 of these hymns have reached us today in much the same form as they existed circa 1200 BC. This body of Sanskrit liturgical literature is called veda , �the knowledge�.2 The subject matter of these hymns is religious and includes the praise and worship of the gods, and prayers for health, long life, and many sons. From these hymns, we are able to deduce obliquely some information about health, healing and other sciences in these early times. It must be stressed that there is no such thing as� Vedic Science� in any unified sense.

TUTORIAL IN BIOSTATISTICS PROPENSITY SCORE METHODS FOR BIAS REDUCTION

In observational studies, investigators have no control over the treatment assignment. The treated and non-treated (that is, control) groups may have largedi?erencesontheir observedcovariates, and these di?erencescanleadto biased estimates of treatmente?ects. Even traditional covariance analysis adjust- mentsmaybe inadequate to eliminate this bias. The propensity score, defined as the conditional probability of being treated given thecovariates, can be used to balance the covariatesin the two groups, and therefore reduce this bias. In order to estimate the propensity score, one must model the distribution of the treatment indicator variable given the observedcovariates. Once estimated the propensity score can be used to reduce bias through matching, stratification (subclassification), regression adjustment, or some combination of all three. In this tutorial we discuss the uses of propensity score methods for bias reduction, give references to the literature and illustrate the uses through applied examples. (1998 John Wiley&Sons, Ltd. INTRODUCTION Observational studies occur frequently in medical research. In these studies, investigators have no control over the treatment assignment.

Illness in Context Book

This book is a contribution to humanistic studies of illness. Medical humanities are by nature cross-disciplinary, and in recent years studies in this field have been recognized as a platform for dialogue between the "two cultures" of the natural sciences and the humanities. Illness in Context is a result of an encounter of several disciplines, including medicine, history and literature. The main stress is on the literary perspectives of the interdisciplinary collaboration. The reading practices highlighting the clinical, phenomenological and archeological approaches to illness take as their point of departure the living text, that is, the literary experience mediated and created by the text. Literature is seen not solely as a medium for the representation of experiences of illness, but also as a historical praxis involved in the forging of our common understanding of illness.

Sitting in Darkness: New South Fiction, Education, and the Rise of Jim Crow Colonialism, 1865-1920 Book

Sitting in Darkness explores how fiction of the Reconstruction and the New South intervenes in debates over black schools, citizen-building, Jim Crow discrimination, and U.S. foreign policy towards its territories and dependencies. The author urges a reexamination not only of the contents and formal innovations of New South literature but also its importance in U.S. literary history. Many rarely discussed fiction authors (such as Ellwood Griest, Ellen Ingraham, George Marion McClellan, and Walter Hines Page) receive generous attention here, and well-known figures such as Albion Tourgee, Frances E. W. Harper, Sutton Griggs, George Washington Cable, Mark Twain, Thomas Dixon, Owen Wister, and W. E. B. Du Bois are illuminated in significant new ways. The book's readings seek to synthesize older and recent developments in literary and cultural studies ranging through new criticism, new historicism, postcolonial studies, black studies, and "whiteness" studies.
