Medoroga is a condition in which there is an excessive accumulation of Meda Dhatu in the body. Accumulation of Medo Dhatu in different parts of the body causes blockage of Strotsa which ultimately leads to poor nourishment of other Dhathus. Lack of exercises and Kaphavardhak Ahar Viharar are the two main causes of Medoroga. In modern times, way of life has changed drastically to quick nourishments and inactive tendencies throughout the world. Because of these factors, accumulation of Meda dhatu happens immensely. In Ayurveda, dyslipidemia is considered under Medoroga. Dyslipidemia is an emerging serious health abnormality associated with co-morbidities including CVD that continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide. It is characterized by an increase in cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL levels, and a decrease in HDL levels. The present study has been designed to compare the efficacy of Triphala Kwath and Trikatu capsules on various clinical parameters in the management of Medoroga w.s.r to dyslipidemia. Twenty patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were randomly selected for the trial and put into two groups of ten patients each. Trikatu capsules were given to patients in group I and Triphla kwath with Madhu and Trikatu capsules in combination were given to patients of group II for 8 weeks. Patients were thoroughly assessed on various scientific parameters during the complete trial period. In group II, a significant (p<0.001) improvement was observed in subjective parameters and serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL levels while in group I, a significant (p<0.001) improvement was observed in HDL only. It may affirmatively be construed from the study that the best impact of the trial drugs was observed with Triphala Kwatha with Madhu and Trikatu Capsule together (i.e. Group II). This combination therapy was most effective in reducing the overall lipid profile with substantial gains related to subjective as well as objective parameters without any adverse effects.

The paper is devoted to the analysis of Ukrainian paroemias with somatic components, determination of their quantitative ratio, and semantic meaning of the most common representative ones. Paroemias in the present study mean proverbs and sayings, that help to understand the linguistic picture of the world, a person's place in this world, the paradigm of his/her ideas about himself/herself, the environment, moral values, and so on. The close connection of somatics with everything that surrounds a person, contributes to the symbolization of the functions of different parts of the body, plays an important role in modeling the somatic fragment of the linguistic picture of the world. The conditionality of the consideration of somatisms is explained by the fact that they perfectly represent the anthropocentric worldview, and paroemias with somatic components allow to combine anthropocentrism with nationcentrism. The paper analyzes the research published during the last 5 years, which deals with various aspects of this issue and concludes that there is a lack of thorough research with a comprehensive consideration of somatic phraseological units, especially Ukrainian. The aim of the research is to reveal the meanings inherent to Ukrainian somatic paroemias, ways to reproduce the thinking and mentality of the Ukrainian people, to identify the place of paroemias with somatisms among the great variety of Ukrainian proverbs and sayings. The object of the study is 720 paroemias from the collection «The best proverbs and sayings of the Ukrainians», compiled by O. A. Popova. The paper contains a large number of examples and illustrative material. The description and analysis of paroemias with somatic components enable to determine what percentage of Ukrainian paroemias are somatic components and which of these elements are primary or secondary ones, and values they correspond to. The study presents figures and information illustrating and confirming the main aspects of the article. The analysis of a large number of paroemias with somatic components such as head, arm, eye, mouth, leg, heart, and ear showed that the most representative somatic components of Ukrainian paroemias are head, arms, and eyes. The authors conclude that Ukrainian paroemias with somatic components are an example of combining the universal in each culture with a specific ethnonational. The widespread use of somatisms in the Ukrainian paroemias is explained by the nature of human development of the world around us and by the principles of anthropocentrism and anthropomorphism of the world perception in human consciousness. Further study of the Ukrainian paroemias with somatic components will enrich our knowledge of the interaction of language and culture of the Ukrainians, will contribute to the further study of the world outlook of the Ukrainian nation.

Nine South African records of Caperea marginata are strongly seasonal, all occurring in the period December–February. The world distribution is summarized, based on a total of 71 individuals. Migration may include dispersal of juveniles into inshore waters in spring and summer. The first underwater photographs of this species are presented, and from them and other records, the body shape and external pigmentation are described. Behavior in the wild is unspectacular, probably making the species relatively inconspicuous at sea.

Abstract Working with understanding the sensed: a narrative about a dance project at an orphanage in Russia is a paper based on a thesis for the postgraduate program Dance Partnership and Pedagogy at the National School of Contemporary Dance in Denmark (2008–10). The project was initiated by the partnership between the School of Contemporary Dance and the Greenhouse Project (Zelyonyi Dom) at the Orphanage # 9 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Zelyonyi Dom is a dance development project including 20 children from 8 to 12 years of age. A group of 9 children participated in the educational-dance-performance project discussed in this paper. The ten-day project was carried out in March 2010. The performance Petrushka premiered at the Fairytale Theatre in St. Petersburg. It was the first time the participating children performed on a real stage and they did so for a sold out 400 seat theatre. The project works with creative dance that approaches dancing, teaching and researching from a phenomenological perspective. It adopts a holistic view on the body, the psyche and the world and attempts to encounter the phenomena openly by suspending pre-made assumptions. The research explores moments of learning using the concept of attunement (“stemthed”) as it has been developed by Kirsten Fink-Jensen (1998). What is sensed in the dance space with the children, and how can one describe the sensed and nonverbal in words?

From the softest caress to the harshest blow, touch lies at the heart of our experience of the world. Now, for the first time, this deepest of senses is the subject of an extensive historical exploration. This book fleshes out our understanding of the past with explorations of lived experiences of embodiment from the Middle Ages to modernity. This approach to history makes it possible to foreground the tactile foundations of Western culture—the ways in which feelings shaped society. This book explores a variety of tactile realms; including the feel of the medieval city; the tactile appeal of relics; the social histories of pain, pleasure, and affection; the bonds of touch between humans and animals; the strenuous excitement of sports such as wrestling and jousting; and the sensuous attractions of consumer culture. The book delves into a range of vital issues, from the uses—and prohibitions—of touch in social interaction to the disciplining of the body by the modern state, from the changing feel of the urban landscape to the technologization of touch in modernity. Through poignant descriptions of the healing power of a medieval king's hand or the grueling conditions of a nineteenth-century prison, we find that history, far from being a dry and lifeless subject, touches us to the quick.

Aglaomorpha quercifolia (L.) Hovenkamp & S. Linds is an extensively used species in traditional medicinal systems in several areas of the world due to some important medicinal properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activities. In East Timor, different parts of this fern are used either as remedies or as food. The ingestion of a broth made from its rhizome improves lactation, and young fronds of this fern are boiled and eaten with rice by the locals. Nevertheless, its chemical profile is far from being established. The present work aims to establish the chemical profile of both rhizomes and leaves n-hexane extracts by Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed the leaves richness in fatty acids with interesting nutritional values (ω−6/ω−3 = 0.68, AI = 0.59, TI = 0.30), being linolenic acid (253.71 ± 0.93 mg/g dry leaves) and palmitic acid (237.27 ± 0.59 mg/g dry leaves) the significant compounds in the extract. Whereas the rhizome extract is mostly rich in terpenoids, such as steroid, cycloartane, and hopanoid derivatives, being hop-16-ene (166.45 ± 0.53 mg/g dry rhizome) and β-sitosterol (50.76 ± 0.11 mg/g dry rhizome) the major compounds. Several compounds are reported for the first time in the species, and the data herein reported contributes to confirming the species nutritional value.

В статье впервые рассматривается образ шаманки в героических сказаниях хакасов, тексты алыптыг нымахов, записанные от сказителя С. И. Шулбаева, вводятся в научный оборот. Целью исследования является определение типа женщин, сведущих во всех трёх мирах, сравнение топосов, встречающихся на пути шаманки в Нижнем мире героического эпоса и в путешествии в «мир мертвых» реального шамана. Для осуществления поставленной цели исследования использованы описательный, сопоставительный методы. В героическом эпосе хакасов типы женщин, сведущих во всех трех мирах, обладающих магическими свойствами, волшебными предметами, встречаются часто. Сказитель обозначает их словами пiлiгҷi, кöрiгҷi.В алыптыг нымахе есть много женщин, умеющих предсказывать будущее, благословляющих главных героев на подвиги, давая ценные советы. Есть героини сказаний, умеющие исцелять, лечить богатырей,женщин, умеющих перевоплощаться в различных птиц и зверей. Богатырки, имеющие «птичье» одеяние,являются переходными, когда образ зооморфных помощников уходит, вера, связанная с тотемом-предком, потихоньку угасает, на смену приходят образы женщин-помощниц и советниц эпического богатыря. Новизна исследования в том, что данный тип женщин в эпосе впервые рассматривается на образе шаманки. Ранее обозначались как защитницы рода, советчицы богатыря. В древних хакасских сказаниях образ мужчины-шамана встречается редко. Как мы знаем, данный персонаж был введён намного позднее, когда помощь шамана, имеющего девять бубнов, стал необходим. В сказании «Хубан Арыг» вводится образ Толгай-хама, подробно описано камлание шамана с девятью бубнами. Мы считаем, что данный эпизод более поздно привнесен в тело эпоса, тем более традиции жанра это позволяют. В статье также проведён сравнительный анализ образа шамана в этнографической литературе и в эпосе хакасов. Выявлены схожие элементы в описании дороги героя в «мир мертвых», шаманы имеют одинаковые средства передвижения по потустороннему миру, аналогичные хитрые уловки, помогающие перемещаться в ином мире, похожие способы проверки состояния «души» умершего. Следует отметить, что данное исследование может способствовать дальнейшему раскрытию образа шаманки в эпосе и более глубокому рассмотрению этой проблемы. The article for the first time examines the image of a shamaness in the heroic tales of the Khakases, the texts of Alyptyg nymakhs recorded from the narrator S. I. Shulbaev are introduced into the scholarly turnover. The aim of the study was to determine the type of women versed in all three worlds, to compare the topoi encountered on the way of a shaman in the Under World of the heroic epic and in the journey to the “world of the dead” of a real shaman. Descriptive and comparative methods were used to achieve the goal of the research. In the Khakas heroic epic, the types of women versed in all three worlds, possessing magical properties and magical objects are common, the narrator denotes them by the words piligchi, kerіgchi. The alyptyg nymakh has many women capable of foretelling the future and blessing the main heroes for feats of arms, giving valuable advice; there are heroines of tales able to heal and treat heroes, women who can transform into various birds and beasts. Bogatyrs dressed as “avian” are transitional, when the image of zoomorphic helpers disappears, the belief connected with the totem ancestor slowly subsides, and images of women assistants and advisers to the epic hero replace them. The novelty of the research is that this type of women in the epic was considered in the image of a shamaness for the first time. Earlier they were designated as protectresses of a family, advisers of a bogatyr. In ancient Khakas tales, the image of a male shaman is rare. As we know, this hero was introduced much later, when the help of a shaman with nine tambourines became necessary. In the tale “Khuban Aryg”, the image of Tolgai-khama is introduced, the shaman's calamation with nine tambourines is described in detail. We believe that this episode was introduced into the body of the epic later, all the more so because the traditions of the genre allow it. The article also provides a comparative analysis of the image of the shaman in ethnographic literature and in the Khakas epic. Similar elements in the description of the hero's road to the “world of the dead” were revealed, shamans have the same means of travel in the other world, similar tricks to help travel to the other world, similar ways of checking the state of the “soul” of the deceased. It should be noted that this study can contribute to the further disclosure of the image of a shamaness in the epic and a deeper consideration of this problem.

The Lausanne Movement famously organizes Evangelicals around the need for “the whole Church to take the whole gospel to the whole world.” Years of reflection on what this means has led the movement to make more and more explicit statements about who is included in mission, what that mission looks like, and whom that mission is directed toward. In its most recent statement, the Cape Town Commitment expressly calls for us to “think not only of mission among those with a disability but to recognize, affirm and facilitate the missional calling of believers with disabilities themselves as part of the Body of Christ.” This is the first time that people with disabilities are explicitly included in this evangelical conversation and yet, though it has been over 10 years since Cape Town, scholarship on what this means in terms of theology, ecclesiology, and missiology remains underdeveloped. This article explains why disability must be part of our understanding of whole church, whole gospel, and whole world, and will suggest that when it is, we will change the ways in which we talk about and do mission.
