Intentional Unsustainability in Waterfront Regeneration: A Case Study of Sabarmati Riverfront Ahmedabad
Abstract: Indian urban riverfronts have largely been neglected and have lost both on ecological and urban aspects. Large tracts of riverfront lands are often encroached, both illegally and quasi-legally, and essential flood plains have been destroyed. Against this background, the development of the Sabarmati riverfront was an opportunity to reenergize Ahmedabad and unfortunately became a pilot project for other cities. The project reclaims about 200 hectares of land and creates around …

Effects of Swallowing and Oral Care Intervention on Reducing Postextubation Dysphagia among Critically Ill Patients
Abstract: Background: Endotracheal Intubation (ETI) is a life-sustaining technique required for critically ill patients to support mechanical ventilation. However, postextubation dyphagia is a common complication of ETI. Postextubation dysphagia negatively affects patients’ outcomes, leading to delayed recommencement of oral intake, poor quality of life, aspiration pneumonia, longer ICU and hospital stays, and increased 90-day mortality. Moreover, the high economic burdens on public health care systems. Early identification of patients at risk …
