AbstractThe formal beginning of geoarchaeology in India can be traced back to 1863 when the first Palaeolith was documented and collected by Robert Bruce Foote in Tamil Nadu and later described in a detailed geological context. Today, various geological tools such as geospatial analytical tools are available to provide extra mileage to geoarchaeological investigations. They supplement field evidence and enable researchers to display, manipulate, and model geological data and the associated archaeological evidence. The present paper attempts to summarise the current status of understanding the Quaternary geoarchaeology of the Tapi River basin in west-central India. The aspects considered include geomorphology, landform evolution, morphometric parameters, relationships between climate and basin evolution, and Palaeolithic and Mesolithic evidence. This present study uses Landsat imagery, locational data, Survey of India (SOI) topographic sheets and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data in ArcGIS software. The study is the first comprehensive attempt to summarise the issue of prehistoric human adaptations (dominated mainly by Late Pleistocene evidence) through changing environments, with an assumption that the two occurred in synchronisation. Another assumption is that the reported lithic and fossil sites and the surrounding areas have preserved signatures of original landforms and sedimentary contexts.Through these perspectives and visual integration of topography, drainage networks and Landsat image parameters in a Geographic Information System (GIS) platform, along with other variable field inputs, a testable hypothetical model of the Quaternary evolution of Central Tapi valley is proposed. Additionally, an AMS date of 47,145 cal BP for a newly-discovered ostrich eggshell fragment from Sakegaon near Bhusawal is presented and its palaeoanthropological implications are discussed. Altogether, our observations from the study area, such as an expansion of land use from the Acheulean onwards, signatures of arid phases and the oldest reported ostrich eggshell (OES), warrant further detailed multidisciplinary research. An in-depth understanding of the first-to-last occurrences of ostriches in the region and comprehensive picture of their pan- South Asian distribution, in general, will help address the issue of prehistoric human adaptations through changing environments.

This chapter presents the overview of the current status and developmental stages of the PSIS technology and consensus around the patient safety issues as they emerge, grow, and mature globally. The first section gives the general description of the patient safety reporting system (PSRS), and then provides the brief summary of 23 patient safety information classifications and terminologies to date. In the next section, the development of the international classification of patient safety (ICPS) is overviewed, which evolved from the local to an international level by the joint initiatives of WHO. The essential elements of the PSIS and the clinical decision support system (CDSS) functionalities are explained to make the future goals of PSIS clearer. The patient safety indicator (PSI) is explained in a separate section, which provides the opportunity to assess the incidence of adverse events and in-hospital complications using administrative data found in the typical discharge record. The ultimate goals of PSIS and PSI are to improve the quality of healthcare and ensure patient safety.

The Meso-Proterozoic intracratonic basins are known for hosting medium to high grade, large tonnage, low cost unconformity-type uranium deposits in the world like-Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada and the Pine Creek Geosyncline, Northern Territory, Australia. Similarly, there are fourteen Proterozoic basins in India, out of which, the unconformity-related uranium deposits are identified at Lambapur-Yellapur-Chitrial in the northern part of the Cuddapah basin. Based on the geological setting, age and fertile basement provenance, the other Proterozoic basins in India also hold promise for uranium mineralisation. In this context, the Chhattisgarh basin which is third largest Proterozoic basin in Central India occupying an area of 33,000 sq. km. with 2500m thick sediments, is identified as one of the major favourable targets for uranium mineralisation. It is located at the northern fringe of Bastar Craton in parts of Odisha and Chhattisgarh and comprises mostly siliciclastic sediments of Singhora, Chandrapur and Raipur Groups.                   Uranium exploration carried out in the environs of Chhattisgarh basin mostly along the basin margins, have brought to light a number of uranium occurrences having sizeable dimensions hosted by both the basement rocks viz. Malaikhaman (0.026-0.11% U3O8), Makarumunda (0.013-3.3% U3O8), Damdama (0.026-0.43% U3O8) , Kashipali (0.010-0.96% U3O8), Karichhapar (0.011-0.40% U3O8) and the cover sediments viz. Juba-Banjhapali (0.010-0.078% U3O8), Govardhangiri-Bagia Nala (<0.010-0.80% U3O8), Chitakhol-Renkhol-Bokarda (<0.012-0.39% U3O8). The newly located uranium mineralisation in the sandstones of Rehatikhol Formation near Chhibra which is exposed intermittently over a strike length of 800m with grab samples (n=43) physically assayed 0.014 to 0.140% eU3O8, 0.010 to 0.120% U3O8 (β/γ) and <0.005% ThO2. Uraninite and pitchblende have been identified as uranium minerals. The favourable factors like geological, geochemical, geophysical, sedimentological, tectonic framework and presence of fertile granitic rocks (n=33, 5-26ppm U) in the provenance indicate its potentiality for uranium mineralisation. The exploration so far, has been mostly confined around shallow basin margins leaving deeper part unexplored. With the advancement of geophysical techniques like airborne magnetic, radiometric and electromagnetic surveys it would be possible to explore the deeper part of the basin. In addition, geochemical techniques such as hydro and litho-geochemical sampling could also be applied around suitable litho-structural settings, especially along the shear/fault zones trending NNE-SSW to NW-SE and their intersections with the ENE-WSW trending shear/fault zones.                      The present paper deals with the potentiality of uranium mineralisation in the environs of Chhattisgarh basin with emphasis on recently located significant occurrence of uranium mineralisation near Chhibra in the Rehatikhol Formation of Singhora Group along the southeastern margin of Chhattisgarh basin.
