Based on an ethnographical study of a group of young Swedish politicians, the author carries out a discussion concerning two major questions: How can one understand and interpret orgiastic behavior at parties? In what way does the use of alcohol make orgiastic behavior legitimate at parties? The author claims that the use of alcohol in different types of rituals may be seen as a way to travel beyond the structures of everyday life into another reality in which certain interaction and self-presentation norms become less important and less used. Alcohol is thus used as a symbol in a rite of passage. Using the anthropologist Turner's words, this other reality can be seen as liminal. The individual who enters this reality can do things which she would otherwise find taboo or inconvenient. The body is central in this liminal and carnevalistic reality and the individuals can play with different forms of taboos. The party may thus be seen as an escape zone for people who discipline themselves in their everyday life. The group is of major importance in the transgression. Through rituals in the group, the transgression becomes legitimate. The group also helps the individual to come back to everyday life.

Languages and Idiolects: Their Language and Ours

An idiolectal conception of language is compatible with a substantive role for external things — objects, including other people — in the characterization of idiolects. Illustrations of this role are not hard to come by. The point of looking outward from the individual is pretty evident for the case of reference to perceptually encountered objects: had the world been significantly different, a person with the same molecular history would have acquired, and called by the same familiar names, different physical and other concepts. An idiolectal conception of language is by no means committed, and has some reason to be opposed, to internalism, and to individualism in Burge's sense; that is, to the view that the organization of the body, abstracting from external things, is constitutive of any linguistically significant aspect of language.

Καὶ σαφῶς τύραννος ἦν: Xenophon's Account of Euphron of Sicyon

AbstractXenophon's account of Euphron, tyrant at Sicyon from 368 to 366, appears to present him as a typical fourth-century ‘new tyrant’, dependent on mercenaries and concerned solely with his own power. But why did Xenophon choose to recount Euphron's actions and fate at such length, and why does he insist so strongly that he was a tyrant? Xenophon's interest in Euphron is part of his general approach to tyranny in the Hellenica, which depicts a series of individuals and regimes, all described as tyrannies. The model of tyranny with which Xenophon operates is broader and more inclusive than we would expect, contrasting with the narrow, constitutional idea of tyranny defined by Aristotle. Understanding this has two consequences. It allows us to appreciate Euphron in a new light, giving credit to the positive tradition about his support for the Sicyonian democracy and his posthumous heroization; we can see the debate which existed in his own time about his role and position. It also raises the question of why Xenophon recognized tyranny in so many places, and was so keen to emphasize his construction of these regimes. We need to situate him within the evolution of ideas about tyranny, since the concept of tyranny is largely constructed by historians: Herodotus ‘created’ tyranny in the aftermath of the Persian Wars, while Thucydides developed the concept from the individual to the general, as this better fitted his Athenocentric model. Xenophon, in contrast, was reflecting contemporary debates over the interpretation of different types of ruler and regime, and developing his own theory of tyranny. Therefore to see a ‘new tyranny’ movement in the fourth century is misplaced: an examination of Euphron reveals the complexities of self-presentation in fourth-century Greek politics.

The article addresses the theme of "masculinities" from the perspective of infertile men and their partners. It argues that experiences of infertility should be understood as disruption in relation to the body and in relation to the narrative of life that is informed by cultural notions of kinship and gender. These notions are closely connected to a culturally specific story of coming-into-being, which gives symbolic priority to biological procreation and genetic connectedness. Being a real father and a real man depends on procreative abilities. In order to come to terms with infertility, infertile men try to redefine such ideologies of authenticity. The article illustrates how infertile men are confronted by strong cultural associations between fertility, sexuality and masculinity, and how these notions are related to other ideas of masculinity such as independence of the individual, ability to be a provider and a conception of the "intact" body. Finally, the article demonstrates how men and women differ in coping with infertility, childlessness and fertility treatment, and their longings for parenthood. However, gender is not the only difference, which makes a difference in the world of infertile and childless people. The ideas of masculinities unfold through men's relations with other men and through generational differences and similarities.

Research on mindfulness-based interventions reports mainly on improvements at the group level. Thus, there is a need to elaborate on the individual differences in their effectiveness. The aim of this study was twofold: (1) to examine which personality factors could influence burnout reduction associated with different types of mindfulness practice and (2) to evaluate the interaction between personality factors and the amount of home practice; both aims were controlled for sociodemographic characteristics. A total of 104 Cuban mental health professionals, who participated in a crossover trial, were included. The effect of personality (Cattell’s 16 Personality Factors) was analyzed through regression analysis. First, the results revealed that Emotional Stability and Vigilance could negatively moderate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions. Second, participants who scored low in Sensitivity or Vigilance could benefit more from the body-centered practices (i.e., body scan and Hatha yoga practices), but no significant results for the mind-centered practices (i.e., classical meditation) were found. Third, participants who scored high in Self-reliance could benefit more from informal practice. Other personality factors did not appear to moderate the effect of the interventions, though previous experience in related techniques must be considered. Recommendations and clinical implications are discussed. Trial registration number is NCT03296254 (clinicaltrials.gov).

Aspects of countering the system and anti-system are considered in the Strugatsky brothers ' novel "Snail on the slope". It is proved that science fiction writers managed to recreate quite complex aspects of the interaction of various systems within the framework of literary heritage. The broad palette of writers has absorbed an understanding of contradictions with underlying causes. In this article, some aspects of the interaction of the individual and the system, systems and anti-systems are demonstrated. Special attention is paid to the Soviet realities, which became the basis for the artistic picture of the fantastic world. This indicates the uniqueness of "Snail on the slope". One of the unique qualities is the influence on the story "Snail on the slope" by Franz Kafka (novels "The Process", "The Castle"). When analyzing the story, the focus of countering the system and the anti- system is transferred to the idea of the future. It is proved that the writers abandoned the continuous optimistic model of the future inherent in their earlier works. Strugatsky brothers have worked out in detail the mechanism of the inability to evolve into the future without radical changes in the essence of man. The literature of the second half of the twentieth century contains an extraordinary potential for understanding our current realities. Somewhere we are even in a more "winning" position – the authors and readers of that time had a more narrowed range of analysis, which was naturally inherent in "their time". At the same time, we are also partially vulnerable, especially in the historical and cultural context. Because the time of writing a work leaves an imprint on its content, the keys to its understanding are often in the social parallels of everyday life, which is fully understood by contemporaries, and "descendants" need to explain certain specific aspects of everyday life, psychological model or banal meaning of a particular word (they become anachronisms or acquire a different meaning). At the same time, it is worth paying attention to those questions that are transcendental in nature. Strugatsky brothers in "Snail on the Slope" experienced a corresponding experience – they tried to create a multi-faceted picture of the world with "their own" laws. At the same time, the task they set was not only to come up with, but also to "guess" the true concept, to bring the artistic fabric of the work closer to the "truth of life". Therefore, this work is fundamentally different from a significant part of their literary heritage, it is a kind of "experimental platform". They did not try to repeat this experience in their future work.

Social distancing is one kind of preventative measure to reduce the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 transmits mainly from one person to another during close contact for a prolonged period. Different types of preventive measures like thermal screening, social distancing, hand sanitization, office sanitization, building sanitization etc. are taken by an organization for smooth functioning of the organization. Implementation of social distancing in the organization is really a challenging task. Some work is done by the group of people and some work may be done by the individual. In some cases symptom of COVID-19 is shown but it in some cases its symptoms are not shown. Recent studies indicate that people who are infected but do not have symptoms likely also play a role in the spread of COVID-19. Social distancing helps the limit opportunities to come in contact with infected person and contaminated surface in an organization. The challenging task is taking decision in implementing social distance among employee in the organization. Organization may use different types of sampling methods to check the performance of employee or organization after introducing social distancing in its institution. In the present paper the authors will try to explain the importance of social distancing in mathematical way to combat COVID-19 transmission.

Abstrak: Darah merupakan salah satu komponen paling penting yang ada dalam tubuh, mengingat fungsinya  sebagai alat transportasi. Kekurangan darah di dalam tubuh dapat memacu sejumlah penyakit  dimulai dari anemia, hipotensi, serangan jantung, dan beberapa penyakit lainnya. Beberapa kasus lain seperti kecelakaan, luka bakar dan proses persalinan juga memerlukan tranfusi darah akibat tingginya kemungkinan pendarahan. Terdapat dua jenis penggolongan darah yang paling penting adalah penggolongan A-B-O dan Rhesus (faktor Rh). Transfusi darah dari golongan yang tidak kompatibel dapat menyebabkan reaksi transfusi imunologis yang berakibat anemia hemolisis, gagal ginjal, syok, dan kematian. Banyak diantara kita belum mengetahui jenis golongan darah yang kita miliki. Kasus ini menjadi sangat krusial ketika individu tersebut mengalami musibah, seperti kecelakaan yang mengakibatkan darah banyak keluar. Tindakan penanganan pasien menjadi terlambat, karena individu ini belum mengetahui jenis golongan darah yang ia miliki. Berdasarkan hasil observasi dengan siswa, Kepala Sekolah dan guru-guru Madrasah Aliyah NW Bagik Polak, dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa di sekolah ini belum mengetahui golongan darah yang ia miliki. Kejadian ini  menjadi dasar kami untuk melakukan pengabdian kepada masyarakaat dalam hal ini siswa untuk mengecek golongan darah yang mereka miliki.Abstract:  Blood is one of the most important components in the body, given its function as a means of transportation. Blood deficiency in the body can spur some diseases starting from anemia, hypotension, heart attack, and some other diseases. Some other cases such as accidents, burns, and childbirth also require blood transfusions due to the high likelihood of bleeding. There are two most important types of blood type which are the A-B-O and Rhesus (RH) classification. Incompatible blood transfusions can cause immunological transfusion reactions that result in hemolysis anemia, renal failure, shock, and death. Many of us do not know the type of blood group we have. This case became very crucial when the individual suffered a calamity, such as accidents that caused many types of blood to come out. The patient's treatment was delayed, as the individual did not know what type of blood he had. Based on the results of the observation with the students, the principal, and teachers of Madrasah Aliyah NW Bagik Polak, it can be concluded that most students in this school do not know the blood type he has. This incident is the basis for our devotion to the community in this case students to check the blood group they have.

Well-being is often described as a state of happiness or satisfaction with life, but it is so much more. The influence of religious involvement on a positive sense of well-being of the individual has been well documented. One aspect of religious involvement comprises the singing of hymns. Through the texts and the power of music, the well-being of the singer/believer can be positively influenced. Fanny Crosby (1820- 1915) wrote more than 8 000 hymn texts on various aspects of religious life such as assurance, salvation, redemption, worship and witness. Many of the hymns deal with the difficulties of everyday life, which is juxtaposed to the better life in the world to come. This paper is concerned with the portrayal of aspects of assurance in some of Fanny Crosby’s hymns texts. It is also shown how her hymns touch on aspects of well-being in the way that they stress the importance of having meaning in life and point towards the fact that the believer’s life can be worthwhile.

The contribution is a consideration of the role of a human body in personal, physical reflections, in the field of art and in media space. The presented text is a thought starting point for a scientific study of the role and forms of the human body in contemporary advertising. In contemporary modern society, there is an increasing interest in the appearance and presentation of the body in its female or male modality. Body image is a complex, dynamic and multidimensional aspect of an individual’s personality, determined by a number of individual and socio-cultural factors. Body image creation takes place under the influence and experience of information and it can change throughout life. The perception of body image is linked to the general ideas that the culture connects with the ideal form of the body. It is not only a mental image, but also includes an assessment component, an attitude based on cognitive schemes and emotional processing of information with which the individual is confronted
