Kintamani dog is the only Balinese breed has been recognized by Federarion of International Cynology (Fédération Cynologique Internationale). Kintamani dogs live around Sukawana Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency, of Bali. The purpose of this study was to determine the hystologycal structure and histomorphometry of kintamani dog skin. The kintamani dog used in this study were 1-2 years old. Histological structure observed by carlzeiss teaching microscope with objective lens magnification 5, 10, 20, 40, and 100x. In this study, the hystologycal structure of kintamani dog consists of the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, except on planum nasale. Planum nasale of kintamani dogs do not have hypodermis. The other components found in the hystologycal structure is sebaseous gland, sweat gland, hair follicles and blood vessels. While the histomorphometry of kintamani dog skin have a different thickness depending on location of the body and gender. In this study, Kintamani dog skin is the thickest in female planum nasale with thickness from epidermis to dermis at 6437.040 ?m and the thinnest in male stomach at 2047.378 ?m.

Håkan Larsson: Sport and gender This article concerns bodily materialisation as it occurs in youth sport. It is based on interviews with teenagers 16 to 19 years of age doing track and field athletics. The purpose of the article is to elucidate how the notion of a “natural body“ can be seen as a cultural effect of sports practice and sports discourse. On the one hand, the body is materialised as a performing body, and on the other as a beautiful body. The “performing body“ is a single-sexed biological entity. The “beautiful body“ is a double-sexed and distinctly heterosexually appealing body. As these bodies collide in teenager track and field, the female body materialises as a problematic body, a body that is at the same time the subject of the girl’s personality. The male body materialises as an unproblematic body, a body that is the object of the boy’s personality. However, the body as “(a problematic) subject“ or as “(an unproblematic) object“ is not in itself a gendered body. Rather, these are positions on a cultural grid of power-knowledge relations. A girl might position herself in a male discourse, and a boy might position himself in a female discourse, but in doing so, they seem to have to pay a certain price in order not to be seen as queer.

The author controverts the prevailing theory of the developement of animal tissues from cells, and denies the accuracy of the microscopical observations on which that theory is founded, as regards the anatomy of the adult as well as of the fœtal tissues. He asserts that at no period of fœtal life can rows of cells be discovered in the act of transformation into muscular fibres: and lie denies that these fibres increase either in length or in thickness by the deposition o new cells. He contends that the ultimate filaments of muscles, as well as all the other tissues of the body, arc formed from the fibrinous portion of the blood, which is itself composed of globules that are disposed to cohere together, either in a linear series, so as to form a net-work of fine filaments, or in aggregated masses of a form more or less globular, composing what have been termed fibrinous corpuscles. These corpuscles have been considered to be the nuclei of cells; but the author regards them as being merely accidental fragments of broken down tissues, adhering to the filaments, and noways concerned in their developement. The more regularly disposed granules, which are observed to occupy the spaces intervening between the filaments composing the ordinary cellular tissue, he considers as being fatty matter deposited within these spaces. He, in like manner, regards the observations tending to show the cellular origin of the fibrous, cartilaginous, and osseous tissues, as altogether fallacious; and maintains that the cells, which these animal textures exhibit when viewed under the microscope, are simply spaces occurring in the more solid substance of these structures, like the cavities which exist in bread. These views are pursued by the author in discussing the formation of the skin, the blood-vessels, and the nerves, and in controverting the theory of secretion, founded on the action of the interior surfaces of the membranes constituting cells.

1. A new hereditary defect affecting the hair coat of Swiss albino mice is described. The defect was found to be inherited as a recessive character and is designated as bare (ba).2. The gene affected the vibrissae as well as pelage hairs. The lack of vibrissae and other sensory hairs at birth, helped to differentiate them easily from the normal animals. The first hairs on the body appeared at 13–14 days of age. The hairs were thin and tiny and remained there till about the thirtieth day. The hairs in the second hair cycle appeared at about 45 days, and again disappeared within 10 days. The animals were entirely naked when they were 6 months old.3. Gross as well as microscopic examination of hairs in the first hair cycle did not show the four different normal types of hairs. The hairs were comparatively very small, thin, and the internal structure did not show any regularity in the arrangement of the air cells.4. No difference was found in the number of hair follicles in the bare and the normal Swiss mice.5. Histology revealed the presence of keratinized globular masses instead of straight hair. This abnormality persisted in all the hair cycles.6. The bare mice were compared with the other mutants and placed in the Alopecia-Naked group where the abnormality was in the keratinization of the hair.

And Gender

In this article, we propose a new way of approaching the topic of ethics for management and organization theory. We build on recent developments within critical organization studies that focus on the question of what kind of ethics is possible in organizational contexts that are inevitably beset by difference. Addressing this ‘ethics of difference’, we propose a turn to feminist theory, in which the topic has long been debated but which has been underutilized in organization theory until very recently. Specifically, we draw on the work of Bracha Ettinger to re-think and extend existing understandings. Inspired by gender studies, psychoanalysis, philosophy and art, Ettinger’s work has been celebrated for its revolutionary re-theorization of subjectivity. Drawing on a feminist ethics of the body inspired by psychoanalysis, she presents a concept of ‘trans-subjectivity’. In this, subjectivity is defined by connectedness, co-existence and compassion towards the other, and is grounded in what Ettinger terms the ‘matrixial borderspace’. An ethics of organization derived from the concept of the matrixial suggests that a different kind of ethical relation with the Other is possible. In this article, we demonstrate this through examining the issue of gender in the workplace. We conclude by outlining the implications of this perspective for rethinking ethics, embodiment and gender, and in particular for the development of a corporeal ethics for organization studies.

A common characteristic for the malignancy of tumors is the property of their cells to capture adjacent tissues, enter by lymphatic or blood vessels, graft and give new tumors both in the nearest parts of the body (dissemination), as well as in distant organs that hide (metastases). On a microscopic preparation, you can see in addition to the phenomena of multiplication of tumor cells (karyokinesis), even cells moving from the periphery of the tumor into the nearest lymphatic gap and lymphatic gland, where they, multiplying, give secondary nodes; in the same way, they can be found in the blood, by which they are carried to the most diverse and distant parts of the body, sometimes giving (for example, sarcomas) an innumerable number of metastatic tumors of the same histological structure.

Abstract “Marriage is a fine institution, but I’m not ready for an institution.” With this challenging innuendo, the American actress and author Mae West offers an insight into gender performativity and heteronormativity through marriage in a period, the “Roaring Twenties,” in which sexual and gender politics could not be put into scrutiny. Her vamp persona and the elaborated iconography that she crafted on her character gave birth to a meticulous semiotics of the body that eventually undermined the American social context of the time fostering on the one hand, an image of heterosexual desire, and on the other hand an appealing icon to a gay market. This article ventures a queer-oriented perspective on West’s charismatic character and on the intertwined effects that tie semiotics to body language, especially focussing on the plays Sex (1926) and The Drag (1927).

The structure, distribution and dimensions of skin strata and sweat glands have been investigated in Egyptian buffaloes and cattle. Samples from sixteen body regions were taken from three adult bulls of both species. Identical studies were also made on one buffalo calf and two buffalo embryos. Serial vertical and horizontal sections were cut from each body region using the ‘terpineol paraffin wax’ method. The following results were obtained.1. Buffalo skin is characterized by dermal papillae enclosing papillomatous epidermis. The fibrous structure of the dermis is similar in both species. In buffaloes, the average thickness of skin, main epidermis, papillomatous epidermis, and cornium is 6·5 mm., 50, 115, and 11μ respectively. The epidermis coefficient is 12 for the main epidermis and 18 for the papillomatous epidermis. In cattle, the average thickness of skin, epidermis and cornium layer is 4·3 mm., 51 and 5 μ respectively, while the epidermis coefficient is 8.2. The average number of hair follicles per sq.cm. of skin is 394 in the buffalo and 2633 in cattle. Each hair follicle is accompanied by two large lobulated sebaceous glands in the buffalo, and one small bilobed gland in cattle.3. There is no species difference in the histology of the sweat glands. Each hair follicle is accompanied by one sweat gland in both species. In the buffalo, the body of the sweat gland is oval and convoluted, while the duct is twisted at its attachment to the body. In cattle, the body of the gland is elongated while the duct is straight. The number of sweat glands per sq.cm. of skin is 394 in the buffalo and 2633 in cattle. The dimensions of the sweat glands are larger in buffaloes than in cattle. The length, circumference and sweating surface of the gland is 0·58, 0·47, and 0·276 sq.mm. in the buffalo, and 0·47, 0·26, and 0·124 sq.mm. in cattle respectively. The glandular surface of sweat glands per sq.cm. of skin is 1·07 sq.cm. in the buffalo and 3·08 sq.cm. in cattle.4. The type of sweat gland secretion is apocrine in both species. In the buffalo, successive stages of apocrine secretion are observed, and the merocrinelike form is rare. In cattle, the merocrine-like form prevails and the other stages are very rare. The theory (Findlay & Yang, 1950) of intraluminal transformation, of secretory products from coarse granularity to fluid homogeneity is supported. The effect of locality on the type of sweating activity is stressed.5. There are species differences in the distribution of blood vessels and capillaries. In the subepidermal level, the arterial branches are more frequent and superficial in buffaloes than in cattle. Capillaries are found in the dermal papillae of buffalo skin. The capillary loops encircling the hair follicle are more frequent in cattle than in buffaloes. The blood capillaries supplying the sebaceous glands are more numerous in the buffalo than in cattle. The blood supply of sweat glands is poor in both species.6. There are age differences in the skin histology. The number of hair follicles per sq.cm. of skin in a 5-months-old embryo, calf at birth, and adult buffaloes is 10560, 1248 and 400 respectively. There are no skin glands in the 1-month and 5-months-old embryos. The sweat gland in the calf is small in size and similar in structure to that of the adult. Calves have fewer sweat glands than adults.7. The body conformation and the degree of pigmentation are affected by species, breed and locality.8. The secreting activity of the sweat glands may be affected by the locality.9. It seems that there are species differences in the mechanism of heat convection and radiation, insensible perspiration and sensible perspiration, due to histological differences.

Background Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a cross-sensory phenomenon characterised by a static-like sensation which typically originates on the scalp and spreads throughout the body leading to a state of deep relaxation. It can be triggered by visual and auditory stimuli in real life, incidentally by various media and via intentionally created ASMR videos. Previously ASMR has been linked to a specific personality profile and this study aimed to further elucidate individual differences associated with this phenomenon. Methods To this effect ASMR-Experiencers and age and gender matched controls were compared on measures of flow, absorption and mindfulness. Results This revealed that ASMR was associated with elevated absorption but no group differences were found with respect to the other constructs, suggesting that the ability to get deeply immersed with the current experience accompanied by loss of reflective awareness may be an important factor contributing to the experience of ASMR.

The notions of body and gender have been one of the artistic means of expression of all societies. This is due to the body being a part of humanity’s own existence and individuality. As for gender, this is a concept that puts forth the constructs based on society and the identity of society itself. The aim of the research is to investigate why the artists in question applied the concept of body in ceramic works. To reveal the differences by giving examples of the usage of ceramic materials in traditional and contemporary terms.In the findings obtained in the study, it was determined that ceramics can have different applications, both functional and artistic. From this point of view, it is the other purpose of the research to examine and reveal how and why these two different situations are applied. In this research, the sociological investigation of the body has been carried out by including the first examples of the notions of body and gender in the Prehistoric era. The scope and limitations of the research were determined as the samples of Ancient Age ceramics and the works of Pablo Picasso, Peter Voulkos and Sergei Isupov. The reason for choosing these examples; to identify what are the changes and developments in the traditional and modern process of ceramics. Thus, it is considered that the changes and developments in ceramic as both a material and an idea will be noticed. The scope of the research carries importance as part of understanding the traditional and contemporary distinctions of body and gender concepts in ceramics. In this context, it is thought that the concepts of idea, concept, body and gender will be discussed frequently in contemporary ceramic art.

With the improvement of the optical properties of the modern TEM objective lenses the point resolution is pushed beyond 0.2 nm. The objective lens of the CM300 UltraTwin combines a Cs of 0. 65 mm with a Cc of 1.4 mm. At 300 kV this results in a point resolution of 0.17 nm. Together with a high-brightness field-emission gun with an energy spread of 0.8 eV the information limit is pushed down to 0.1 nm. The rotationally symmetric part of the phase contrast transfer function (pctf), whose first zero at Scherzer focus determines the point resolution, is mainly determined by the Cs and defocus. Apart from the rotationally symmetric part there is also the non-rotationally symmetric part of the pctf. Here the main contributors are not only two-fold astigmatism and beam tilt but also three-fold astigmatism. The two-fold astigmatism together with the beam tilt can be corrected in a straight-forward way using the coma-free alignment and the objective stigmator. However, this only works well when the coefficient of three-fold astigmatism is negligible compared to the other aberration coefficients. Unfortunately this is not generally the case with the modern high-resolution objective lenses. Measurements done at a CM300 SuperTwin FEG showed a three fold-astigmatism of 1100 nm which is consistent with measurements done by others. A three-fold astigmatism of 1000 nm already sinificantly influences the image at a spatial frequency corresponding to 0.2 nm which is even above the point resolution of the objective lens. In principle it is possible to correct for the three-fold astigmatism a posteriori when through-focus series are taken or when off-axis holography is employed. This is, however not possible for single images. The only possibility is then to correct for the three-fold astigmatism in the microscope by the addition of a hexapole corrector near the objective lens.
