The article presents the author’s concept of the influence of the cultural and educational tours on emotional and physical state of tourists; it explains the new direction of scientific research as “Cultural tourism and human health”. The hypothesis of the study lies in the assumption about the positive impact of appropriate conditions of cultural and educational tours on human health: the condition of the tourists in terms of cultural and educational tours to various regions of Russia will demonstrate positive dynamics under condition of the correct program of tourist services, including dosed excursions, organization of optimal functional food, comfortable accommodation and quality of excursions that enhance the resilience of the body, restoring vitality and health. The relevance of the study is due to the following factors: 1) the worsening of the social problems of contemporary life, associated with unsustainable way of life that undermines the protective powers of man, dooming him to premature aging and disease; 2) the need to search for new meanings and ideas for the development of tourist offers in domestic tourism, especially in conditions of economic pressure by the EU and the US on Russia. The aim of this study was to identify changes of state to visit in terms of cultural and educational tours to develop a physiologically-based design system of cultural and educational tours. The study is focused on indicators of emotional state and hemodynamics (systolic, diastolic arterial pressure and heart rate). Pilot measurements which were made during the experiment, show that in the context of cultural tourism in the body of the tourists there are some state changes that need to be checked, scientific instruments/ conditions, criteria and indicators to be determined, a model of ergonomic tour and recommendations for the design of programs of tourist services to be developed. The results of the study allowed us to determine a new direction of scientific research – “Cultural tourism and human health”.

AbstractWorldwide, millets are regarded as a significant grain, however, they are the least exploited. Millet grain is abundant in nutrients and health-beneficial phenolic compounds, making it suitable as food and feed. The diverse content of nutrients and phenolic compounds present in finger and pearl millet are good indicators that the variety of millet available is important when selecting it for use as food or feed. The phenolic properties found in millets compromise phenolic acids, flavonoids, and tannins, which are beneficial to human health. Moreover, finger millet has an exceptionally unique, more abundant, and diverse phenolic profile compared to pearl millet. Research has shown that millet phenolic properties have high antioxidant activity. The presence of phytochemicals in millet grains has positive effect on human health by lowering the cholesterol and phytates in the body. The frantic demands on maize and its uses in multiple industries have merited the search for alternative grains, to ease the pressure. Substitution of maize with pearl and finger millets in the diets of different animals resulted in positive impact on the performance. Including these grains in the diet may improve health and decrease the risks of diseases. Pearl millet of 50% or more can be used in broiler diets without adversely affecting broiler performance or egg production. Of late, millet grain has been incorporated in other foods and used to make traditional beverages. Thus, the core aim of this review is to provide insight and comprehension about the nutritional and phenolic status of millets and their impact on human and livestock.

Culture is an important element of a destination tourist product, and tourism is an apparatus for meeting the various cultural needs of tourists. The relationship between culture and tourism contributes to the support of the cultural sector, innovation, creativity, the image of the destination and the social connection between tourists and the local population. Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine the functioning of tourism without the Internet. Presenting the cultural offer of the destination via the Internet is a great challenge and requires exceptional commitment. The subject of research of this paper is the influence of Internet content on the decision of the tourists about the destination of cultural tourism they will choose. The aim of the research is to influence the internet content on tourists related to the cultural tourism of the destination and the possibility of attracting tourists to visit the destination based on the reviewed Internet content. The research involved 165 respondents who visited one of the cultural tourism destinations from the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The results of the research show that a higher level of quality of Internet content has a positive effect on tourists choosing a certain cultural tourism destination for travel and that Internet content in terms of information efficiency, interactivity and practicality has a significant positive impact on tourists' intentions to visit cultural tourism destination.

This article takes as its point of departure the social media presence of a human musical automaton called Rabbit. As part of the US-based band Steam Powered Giraffe, Rabbit is performed by Bunny Bennett, who recently came out as a transgender woman. As a result of this shift, Rabbit is being transformed from a male automaton into a transgender female robot. The news of the transformation hit like a bomb in the emotionally invested fan base. The story of the transitioning robot is an intimate coming together of technologies, imagination, and transgender embodiment. It is a story that deserves scholarly attention for two reasons: This case offers ways of re-casting the discussion in transgender studies within a post-humanist framework of somatechnics. Secondly, it is a case which foregrounds an understanding of gender as a question of time. In focusing on transition as a continuous, open-ended process, gender is primarily understood as a temporal form which cuts or vibrates through the body in highly material, embodied ways. The domain of queer temporality is rather densely theorised, but what about trans- temporality? If queer temporality first and foremost deals with sexuality and time, what would it mean to shift the focus to gender? Drawing on Gilles Deleuze on time, this article is a contribution to the field of transgender studies on the question of trans- temporality in a technological vein.

The Abstract the Article is devoted to the study of the lifestyle of students in self-isolation. New cases of COVID-19, which continue to be registered around the world, dictate to society new norms of behaviour in the social space. The self-isolation regime as a quarantine measure has become a new reality for Russians. Compliance with self-isolation and other preventive measures will help to contain the spread of coronavirus infection. Self-isolation is characterised by serious changes in the body and lifestyle of various socio-demographic groups. These changes are especially relevant for students in the transition from the usual active lifestyle to new unusual forms of social behaviour. The way of life covers all essential spheres of people's life: work, forms of its social organization, everyday life, forms of people's use of their free time, their participation in political and social life, forms of satisfaction of their material needs. To Sum up, we believe that the analysis of the components of the students' lifestyle in the conditions of self-isolation is only a part of the study and requires further research. The current epidemiological situation associated with the threat of COVID-19 has largely changed the worldview, behaviour and social attitudes, and the student's life meanings are being re-evaluated and values are being transformed. It is necessary to develop a set of measures for socio-psychological support of students who find themselves in a difficult situation in self-isolation.

Coronavirus crisis from 2020 in USA is a mixture of financial and economic crisis that happened in 1929-33 and 2007-09. The body of work is permeated with attitudes in regards to the coronavirus crisis from 2020 and previous financial crisis from 2007 to 2009 by the world renowned economists and Nobel Prize winners Joseph Stiglitz and Pol Krugman and former presidents of the Federal Reserve Bank Ben Bernanke, Alen Greenspan and others. The US Federal Reserve Bank opted with a relaxed approach to the monetary politics during the coronavirus crisis - a new-old approach that they picked many times before. Current coronavirus crisis measures to the monetary politics in USA on one side will contribute to deflation while on the other side it will grow consumption and production with delay until 2021. Because of the social distancing during the coronavirus crisis, new problems emerged like the economic distancing of the USA economy, enormous debts to FRB on all levels because of emission of securities, bonds, mortgage and other form of securities which caused growth of activity of the top notch monetary institution in USA.

It is spent prospective 15 years research on studying combined pathologies (the atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis) and the general risk factors of these diseases in women at transition from reproductive in postmenopausal period. It has been shown, that the combination the atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis at postmenopausal women meets in 8 % of cases. Behavioural risk factors the atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, such as features ofa food, the body mass, an inactive way of life and smoking have integrated character, promoting development of both pathologies, however influence of these riskfactors on development the diseases a miscellaneous. The social status and reproductive function ofwomen make significant impact on formation of risk factors of cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. Timely revealing risk factors and influence on them can promote prevention both the atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis, to constrain the further development of these diseases and to reduce the economic injury put to public health services and the patient.

The last decade has witnessed far greater attention to the social determinants of health in health research, but literary studies have yet to address, in a sustained way, how narratives addressing issues of health across postcolonial cultural divides depict the meeting – or non-meeting – of radically differing conceptualisations of wellness and disease. This chapter explores representations of illness in which Western narrators and notions of the body are juxtaposed with conceptualisations of health and wellness entirely foreign to them, embedded as the former are in assumptions about Cartesian duality and the superiority of scientific method – itself often conceived of as floating (mysteriously) free from its own processes of enculturation and their attendant limits. In this respect my work joins Volker Scheid’s, in this volume, in using the capacity of critical medical humanities to reassert the cultural specificity of what we have come to know as contemporary biomedicine, often assumed to be

Body Theory

Along with the recent development of various theories of the body, Lacan’s body theory aligns with postmodern thinkers such as Michael Foucault and Maurice Merlot-Ponti, who consider body social not biological. Lacan emphasizes the body of the Real, the passive condition of the body in terms of formation, identity, and understanding. Then, this condition of body shapes further in the condition of bodies of women and laborers under patriarchy and capitalism, respectively. Lacan’s ‘not all’ position, which comes from the logical square, allows women to question patriarchy’s system and alternatives of sexual identities. Lacan’s approach to feminine sexuality can be applied to women’s spirituality, emphasizing multiple narratives of body and sexual identities, including gender roles. In the social discernment and analysis in the liberation theology, we can employ the capitalist discourse, which provides a tool to understand how people are manipulated by late capitalist society, not knowing it. Lacan’s theory of ‘a body without a head’ reflects the current condition of the human body, which manifests lack, yet including some possibilities for transforming society.

The contribution re-establishes Marcel Mauss's concept of body functional techniques: the social-anthropological basis, the theoretical technical position and the systematic programming of this term. According to Mauss, modern body functional techniques and their media inventions can be interpreted in different ways: as strategies for the reduction of the body and as a project of a reciprocal, psychosomatic, ritualistic and medial intensification.
