Guru Gobind Singh managed to reach Kangar in Malwa after great losses. His two elder sons died fighting in the battle of Chamkaur and his two younger sons were put to death by Wazir Khan, the Muhgal faujdar of Sirhind, on their refusal to accept Islam. Guru Gobind Singh wrote to the emperor how his subordinates had set aside solemn oaths and attacked him and the Khalsa after the evacuation of Anandpur. In fact, the Guru had to fight another battle against Wazir Khan at Khidrana, now known as Muktsar, before he reached Talwandi Sabo (Guru ki Kashi) and stayed there till October 1706. Aurangzeb responded to the letter (called Zafarnama) and invited the Guru for a personal meeting to which he agreed. But Aurangzeb died on 20 February 1707, and Guru Gobind Singh decided to support Prince Mu‘azzam (now Bahadur Shah) in the war of succession.

The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional status for samples at the age of 17-15 years. These samples were taken from secondary schools and universities in Baghdad area, 123 of them were male and 261 were female. Data on weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were determined in each individual. Smaller sample of 215 individuals (male and female) from the original sample was taken in order to record their nutritional behavior and daily food intake during the 24 hours prior to the visit through personal meeting using special questionnaire. The results showed that the weight and the height were within the range of the people of neighboring Arab countries, who are in the same age. Beside 44.4- 55.95% of these samples were within the normal weight using body mass index. Percentages of obesity and overweight were between 43.5- 6.5% for male and female respectively. There was an increase in daily food intake in general for essential diet and energy indeed, as recorded in nutritional behavior. 67% of samples have their breakfast every day. There were 51% of the samples having snacks (additional meal) between the major meals everyday and 62% have beverages every day. Also high percentage of samples were having milk and its products, vegetables, fruits (as nutritional sources) every day and the percentages were 47%, 67%, 78% respectively.

Grundtvig and Geijer - Two Meetings and a PartingBy Kim Arne PedersenThe point of departure of the article is partly a seminar, held in the spring of 1996 at Karlstad H.gskola, entitled Grundtvig, Geijer and Their Impact, partly the fact that this year it is 150 years since the first real meeting between Grundtvig and the Swedish historian, Erik Gustav Geijer, took place. This meeting came about in connection with the celebration of Geijer in Copenhagen in 1846. Prior to the personal meeting between the two, Geijer had attended Grundtvig’s church service in Our Saviour’s Church in Christianshavn in 1825.The article begins with a description of similarities and differences between Grundtvig and Geijer. Among other things, the similarities consist in the inspiration from Romanticism, shared by both of them, their emphasis on the Nordic tradition of freedom, and their meeting, in both cases, with the freedom224 loving England. Whereas Grundtvig became isolated in his early years, among other things because he dissociated himself from German Idealism, Geijer never broke with that Idealism, and only late did he experience an isolation from his former conservative-romantic environment. It was precisely in the years when Grundtvig’s isolation is broken that Geijer embraces the ideas of liberty (1838). The article goes on to present Geijer’s desciption of Grundtvig’s church service in 1825. Geijer likes Grundtvig’s sermon, but does not care much for his unmusical chanting of the Mass or the Danish church service customs. The article contains two further references to Grundtvig’s chanting.The article then reproduces two draughts for toast speeches to Geijer, given by Grundtvig in connection with the celebration in 1846, followed by an analysis of the speeches.In the first draught Grundtvig points out that he and Geijer were bom in the same year. In that connection Grundtvig mentions that the movements towards national liberty at the end of the 18th century found a peaceful reflection in Scandinavia. He proceeds to describe the historical interest common to himself and Geijer and sees their appraisal of the North as an indication of the flourishing Nordic life that Grundtvig expects.The other draught begins with Grundtvig’s version of the Greek poet Pindar. He uses Pindar’s poem as an image of the link between Ancient Greek and Nordic culture that he sees as his goal, and he makes it clear that the North today surpasses Greece.In conclusion, the article refers to the last hours of Grundtvig’s life when Geijer’s .Svenska Folkets Historia. was read aloud to him.

Videoconferencing (VC) is primarily a synchronous, long distance, e-collaboration tool. Although it offers interpersonal features with some degree of media richness and social presence, it is not a perfect substitute for face-to-face communication. VC can add value in business situations where telephone, text chat, or audio conferencing do not provide adequate secondary communication channels such as nonverbal cues (tone of voice, inflection) and interactions (body language). VC also adds value where it is impossible or undesirable to conduct a personal meeting. Currently there exists an opportunity for organizations and individuals to derive enormous benefit from this medium when used appropriately with necessary tactics and skills, especially when multiple parties are involved in e-collaboration.

AbstractI present my minority view that the majority (or even all) of core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are driven by jets rather than by neutrinos, and that the majority of type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) reach their explosion via the core degenerate scenario. New simulations presented at the meeting did not achieve an explosion of CCSNe. I critically examine other arguments that where presented in support of the neutrino-driven model, and present counter arguments that support the jet-driven explosion mechanism. The jets operate via a negative jet feedback mechanism (JFM). The negative feedback mechanism explains the explosion energy being several times the binding energy of the core in most CCSNe. We do not know yet what mechanism explodes massive stars and we do not know yet what evolutionary route leads white dwarfs to explode as SN Ia, and so we must be open to different ideas and critically examine old notions.

Objectives: To evaluate the response to mentoring amongst medical students after introduction of a structured mentorship programme.Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted at Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, [HIMSR] New Delhi. A pre validated confidential questionnaire, designed as both open and closed ended questions was utilised to obtain responses from a sample size of 300 students, both males and females. Our questionnaire solicited the following information: clarity of the concept to the mentee, duration of being involved in the programme, preferred mentoring model, comments on intended benefits and those obtained, frequency of meetings, forms of communication used and preferred place of interaction. All students in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year at HIMSR who agreed to participate in the study were included.Results: A total of 231 students returned their questionnaire, making the response rate of 77%. Different forms of communication were being used, of which personal meeting was most frequent. Both males and females were contacting their mentors in person. Majority of students preferred the mentorship model to be 1:1 and faculty members as mentors instead of senior students. Most of the students wanted the relationship to be mutual on both the sides, with both mentors and mentees having a say in the allocation process. There was no preference to gender for most of the students.Conclusions: The mentorship programme found good acceptance with medical students.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.16(1) 2017 p.29-34

This study was conducted to support the publication of guidelines for media reporting on suicide. First, quantitative and qualitative aspects of suicide reporting in Swiss print media were surveyed over a time span of 8 months. The results were presented at a national press conference, and written guidelines for suicide reporting were sent out to all newspaper editors. The results of the survey and the guidelines were discussed in a personal meeting with the Editor-in-Chief of the main tabloid. After the publication of the guidelines a second, identical survey was conducted. The main variables regarding frequency, form, and content of the newspaper reports before and after the press conference were compared. The number of articles, on the one hand, increased over the 3 years between the first and second survey, but the quality of reporting clearly improved on the other. The personal contact with the editor of the tabloid was probably the most effective means of intervention.

In this article was considered genre specifics and motives of the novel “Bieguni” (“Flights”) by polish writer Olga Tokarczuk. On the example of the novel was determined the main genre specifics of postmodern novel-travelogue, where was raised the main issues of present days – life and death, physical and spiritual, workaday and philosophical. “Bieguni” is the novel about modern people, which looking for their goal, situated in a constantly movement just not to come to the Antichrist`s hands. The airports and hotels aren`t only a shelter, it`s a real home, what underline motive of travel in the novel. Representing home in a different ways, the writer consider the human body as a shelter for two components – spiritual and material. The body that was created by God is physical “home” for self-awareness. Herewith the writer doesn`t reject physiological theory of body beginning and consider it as a product of completing, finishing and the signification of human`s death. Address to Biblical, religious, mythological, bibliographic and oniric motives again and again underline anti-utopy world with his own canons and decrees, what doesn`t submit to logical, grounded explanation, but have philosophical elucidation. “Bieguni” it`s a binding of stories, feelings and laws. The main characters of the composition are different aged, nationality and different time period people, but united by just one important thing – searching of sense of life, that is different for everyone of them. Variety of characters, story of everyone`s life, text`s fragmentation give to the reader experience of personal meeting with every literature character. The hidden drama, that attendanted in everyone of them create the aureole of mystique, mysteriousness and feeling of temporarily proximity, that`s the main feeling of traveler. The leitmotif of the novel unite fragments into the one full picture, where we can see the main thesis of the novel: “Movement is a life, life is a travel”, because at the travel we can see a human`s wish to find the salvation out of routine problems, social duties and conditionalities. Characteristic for the novel using of philosophical and Biblical motives and also application to the history and author`s experience are non-textual survey of art of Olga Tokarczuk and her own morally-pscychological skills.
