There were several links between India and the Ecole. The most important of these have been discussed in this chapter. Aurobindo Bose was among the early students of Rabindranath Tagore’s Brahmacharya Ashram in Santiniketan. He was later also a part of the Ecole. In 1930, it was Aurobindo Bose who urged Tagore to visit the school. During his later life, he became attached to Edith Geheeb and lived at the Ecole d’Humanité as a permanent resident until his death. Edith Geheeb felt inspired by Indian philosophy which she first studied with V.N. Sharma and Alwine von Keller. Edith was in touch with two senior monks of the Ramakrishna Mission— Swami Yatiswarananda and Swami Nikhilananda. She was their loyal student, devotee, and supporter until their demise. In 1953, the two sons of Indira Gandhi, Rajiv and Sanjay, were admitted to the Ecole for several months while their mother was on a diplomatic mission. This resulted in a prolonged and affectionate correspondence between Edith Geheeb and Indira Gandhi. During that time, the Geheebs also met Jawaharlal Nehru in Geneva. Edith was deeply interested in visiting India, her spiritual home, but felt she could not leave the Ecole for very long. At the age of 80, when Paul Geheeb, had already died, she overcame her scruples and visited India, mainly Belur Math in Kolkata, Santiniketan, but also Madras, Bombay and Delhi.

Abstract Context The effect of weight change patterns on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remains uncertain. Objective We aim to examine the relation of weight change patterns and absolute weight change from young adulthood to midlife with incident CVD. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2016. Participants A total of 20 715 US adults aged 40 through 79 with recalled weight at young adulthood (25 years) and midlife (10 years before baseline). Main Outcome Measure CVD status was determined by self-report of a prior diagnosis, and age at diagnosis was used to establish time of CVD onset. CVD events was defined as the first occurrence of a congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, heart attack, or stroke. Results After 9.76 years of follow-up, compared with participants who remained at normal weight, those in maximum overweight, changing from nonobese to obese, changing from obese to nonobese, maintaining obesity between young and middle adulthood had a 39% (hazard ratio [HR], 1.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-1.62), 93% (HR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.64-2.28), 125% (HR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.29-3.94), and 132% (HR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.68-3.20) higher risk of CVD, respectively. In addition, compared with weight change within 2.5 kg, weight gain ≥ 10.0 kg was associated with higher risk of CVD. Conclusions Both nonobese to obese, obese to nonobese, and stable obese from young to middle adulthood were associated with increased risks of CVD. The findings emphasize the importance of maintaining normal weight throughout the adulthood for preventing CVD in later life.

Australian Merino

The lifetime reproductive performances (5 annual cycles) of 2105 Merino ewes from a multiple bloodline flock (15 separate bloodlines) were used to determine the association between reproductive performance in early life (either at 2 or 3 years of age, or the combined information from both years) and later performance. Early life fertility was indicative of both the fertility and the rearing ability of ewes in later life. The relationship of the combined weaning performance at the first and second annual reproductive cycles with reproductive performance in later life suggested gains were possible in the current flock from culling with emphasis on low fertility and rearing ability. Ewes that were dry at 2 and 3 years of age subsequently reared only half as many lambs as ewes that had reared lambs at 2 and 3 years of age.

The genetic evidence concerning affective illness of later life is still conflicting and the relationship of such conditions to the manic-depressive psychosis unclear. Kallman (1955) believed that, genetically, involutional melancholia bore a closer relationship to schizophrenia than to the manic-depressive psychosis. An increased risk for schizophrenia amongst the relatives of such patients was not observed by Kay (1959) and Stenstedt (1952). Both these writers do however describe a lower loading for manic-depressive psychosis than would be found amongst the relations of manic-depressive patients, though a much higher incidence than in the general population. Both Stenstedt and Kay assumed that they were dealing with a heterogeneous group of patients containing both psychotic and neurotic depressions.

This paper’s overriding concern is to analyze the moral degradation, spiritual sterility, fragmentation, damaged psyche of humanity, the disillusionment of early twentieth-century post-war modern Europe and of course the path of salvation that are enormously manifest in the Thomas Stearns Eliot’s poem ‘The Waste Land’. In the question of regeneration or salvation, Eliot in this poem instructs the morally and spiritually sterile modern man to follow the Indian philosophy, Vedas and Upanishads, the storehouse of knowledge, relief, and source of spiritualism, redemption and salvation. And also he concludes the poem with the sense that if they practise them in their life as instructed, there will be nothing but Shantih, shantih, shantih (peace and tranquility) in their life. This paper thus attempts to dissect how the poem develops exerting the acute sense of spiritual infertility, moral degradation, sexual perversion, meaninglessness in the human relationship of the post-war-devastated and dysfunctional world and concludes with the instruction of the path of salvation.

Background. The higher increase in divorce each year are often triggered by prolonged marital conflict without a complete settlement, of which 70% occurred due to divorce by wives with primary reason is disharmony. The divorce decision often made without proper preparation, lead to a bad impact on later life. Self-compassion involved in producing a firmness choices supported by self-confidence and lack of ambivalence in the decision to divorce.Objective. To analyze the relationship between self-compassion with the female complainant divorced readiness in the Religious Court Surabaya.Methods. The study analytic correlation with cross sectional design using systematic random sampling and research instruments using the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) to assess self-kindness, self-judgment, common humanity, isolation, mindfulness, over-identification, as well as Divorce Readiness Questionnaire (Gregg) and a culture questionnaire to assess the readiness of divorce.Results. There were 46 study subjects met the inclusion criteria. Pearson Correlation Test declare that self-compassion had no correlation with the readiness of divorce (p = 0.083, Gregg, and p = 0.259, culture).Conclusion. There is no relationship between self-compassion with a divorced readiness. Timing of research (timing) and external factors (Javanese culture) more strongly affect the subject of research for the time being, thus making the correlation was not significant.

Abstract In a previous study we found that survivorship of several species of permanent-resident, temperate-zone birds was positively related to forest fragment size and presence of supplemental food, and negatively related to extent of snow cover (Doherty and Grubb 2002). Here, we test the hypothesis that such trends are related to differential nutritional condition during winter. Employing rate of growth of induced feathers, we found that woodlot size and presence of supplemental food interacted to increase the nutritional condition of Carolina Chickadees (Poecile carolinensis) and that Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) nutritional condition was reduced in years with high snow cover. Assuming that nutritional condition is positively related to survivorship, these results have possible implications for the viability of permanent-resident birds in small woodlots, with the effects on subordinate species in foraging flocks in very small woodlots possibly being the most severe.

A considerable amount of research into osteoporosis has focused on the management and treatment of bone loss in later life. More recently, a limited amount of research has been directed toward the development of an optimal level of peak bone mass during the adolescent and early adult years. While genetics is a major determinant of bone status, there is considerable evidence that physical activity is an important nonhereditary factor. Studies on adults suggest that the positive effect of physical activity on bone is modest in the short term but may be quite powerful with more intense activity that overloads the muscular system for a longer time period. In children, however, our knowledge about the long-term effects of physical activity on bone accretion is incomplete. This paper presents a review of the pediatric literature dealing with the relationship of physical activity to bone mineral density status in the adolescent population.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the adaptation strategies of inhabitants and the forms of participation they adopt in tourism activities in Paris. As public policies have recently recognized the importance of taking into account inhabitants in the tourism development strategy in Paris and its suburbs, this paper proposes an analysis of the different forms of this participation and its stakes for the territories. Design/methodology/approach This paper gathers the first results of a thesis work in anthropology that is based on an ethnographic method combining participant observation, semi-directive interviews and bibliographic work. Observations took place in Paris and in several cities of the Grand Paris with inhabitants involved in tourism activities, or who are experiencing a difficult cohabitation with tourists in their neighborhoods. Thus, some 40 semi-directive interviews were conducted with inhabitants, members of associations and entrepreneurs. There were also participatory observation works within public institutions, mainly at the Paris City Hall, as well as interviews with dozens of tourism professionals from the private, public and associative sectors. Findings Not all residents have the same commitment to tourism and they do not all want to meet visitors. The relationship of inhabitants to tourism is complex and heterogenous. Nevertheless, this research shows that the roles played by inhabitants are multiple: producers of tourist services, ambassadors for their city or neighborhood, the permanent resident can also be seen as a product that attracts visitors, and as a tourist himself. The permanent resident offers the possibility of going off the beaten track, and promotes the revalorization of the identity of a territory and its inhabitants. Originality/value The originality of this research lies in the choice to focus primarily on the point of view of the visited population in a European capital. Ethnographic work allows for the observation and analysis of practices, in order to understand the stakes of visitor/visitor cohabitation and to anticipate possible movements of anti-tourist rejections.
