Ten Thousand-Fold Higher than Acceptable Bacterial Loads Detected in Kenyan Hospital Environments: Targeted Approaches to Reduce Contamination Levels

Microbial monitoring of hospital surfaces can help identify target areas for improved infection prevention and control (IPCs). This study aimed to determine the levels and variations in the bacterial contamination of high-touch surfaces in five Kenyan hospitals and identify the contributing modifiable risk factors. A total of 559 high-touch surfaces in four departments identified as high risk of hospital-acquired infections were sampled and examined for bacterial levels of contamination using standard bacteriological culture methods. Bacteria were detected in 536/559 (95.9%) surfaces. The median bacterial load on all sampled surfaces was 6.0 × 104 CFU/cm2 (interquartile range (IQR); 8.0 × 103–1.0 × 106). Only 55/559 (9.8%) of the sampled surfaces had acceptable bacterial loads, <5 CFU/cm². Cleaning practices, such as daily washing of patient sheets, incident rate ratio (IRR) = 0.10 [95% CI: 0.04–0.24], providing hand wash stations, IRR = 0.25 [95% CI: 0.02–0.30], having running water, IRR = 0.19 [95% CI: 0.08–0.47] and soap for handwashing IRR = 0.21 [95% CI: 0.12–0.39] each significantly lowered bacterial loads. Transporting dirty linen in a designated container, IRR = 72.11 [95% CI: 20.22–257.14], increased bacterial loads. The study hospitals can best reduce the bacterial loads by improving waste-handling protocols, cleaning high-touch surfaces five times a day and providing soap at the handwash stations.

The Global Challenge of the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights

This chapter highlights the importance of enabling individuals to give input and lodge challenges beyond the state through detailing the actions and views of those in the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR). It first gives details on the grounded normative theory approach adopted in the book, involving the direct conduct and incorporation of empirical research in the development of normative claims. Then NCDHR’s formation and primary efforts are discussed, including its member organizations’ documentation of caste-related discrimination and violence, oversight of government agents, and contributions to Dalit social and economic development. The campaign’s global outreach is detailed, with emphasis on engagement with United Nations human rights bodies. Throughout, activists’ own views are presented on the importance of their globally oriented challenges, and on the justifiability of airing their country’s “dirty linen,” against claims by their critics that they are disloyal and engaged in a neo-imperial conspiracy against India.

“Airing Our Dirty Linen in Public”: Lidiia Chukovskaia, Nadezhda Mandeľshtam, and Competing Visions for a Liberal Soviet Counterpublic

This article contributes to the study of gender and dissidence in the Soviet Union by examining the feud between two significant authors of cultural samizdat and tamizdat—Nadezhda Mandeľshtam and Lidiia Chukovskaia—through an updated feminist lens. It draws on prose unpublished in their lifetimes and presents previously undiscovered writing by Mandeľshtam in order to examine the origins and substance of their feud. I argue that their distinctive modes of authorship date to their relationship with Anna Akhmatova and subsequent differing approaches to her legacy. These approaches reveal their shared conservative attitude regarding gender and moral authority in the nascent liberal Soviet counterpublic as well as their diverging understandings of how the transnational public sphere could help bring about much-needed changes at home. These attitudes shaped how they regarded each other and continue to have salience for our understanding of women's participation in the public sphere in Russia today.

Dirty Linen, Liminal Spaces, and Later Life: Meanings of Laundry in Care Home Design and Practice

This article explores the design and practice of laundries and laundry work in care home settings. This is an often-overlooked aspect of the care environment, yet one that shapes lived experiences and meanings of care. It draws on ethnographic and qualitative data from two UK-based Economic and Social Research Council–funded studies: Buildings in the Making, a study of architects designing care homes for later life, and Dementia and Dress, a project exploring the role of clothing in dementia care. Drawing together these studies, the article explores the temporality and spatiality of laundry work, contrasting designers’ conceptions of laundry in terms of flows, movement, and efficiency with the lived bodily reality of laundry work, governed by the messiness of care and ‘body time’. The article examines how laundry is embedded within the meanings and imaginaries of the care home as a ‘home’ or ‘hotel’, and exposes the limitations of these imaginaries. We explore the significance of laundry work for supporting identity, as part of wider assemblages of care. The article concludes by drawing out implications for architectural design and sociological conceptions of care.
