Anciently Indian system of medicine describes two types of diseases sharirik and manasika according to the location and doshik involvement. Literature reveals that mental disorders (manasa vikara) possess significant relation with the body. The manasa vikara are due to the impairment of common mental functions; alpa stwa, vitiation of sharirik and manas dhosas and vitiation of manovah srotas. Mans vikara may also resulted from emotional disturbance due to derangement of rajo and tamo dhosa. Ancient observation of medical practice emphasizes significant role of purification/shodhna therapy in manasa vikara; this article summarizes role of purification/shodhna therapy such as; Panchacarma in the management of mental disorders.

In federal criminal cases, federal law requires that judges consider the sentences other courts have imposed in factually similar matters. Courts and parties, however, face significant challenges in finding applicable sentencing precedents because judges do not typically issue written sentencing opinions, and transcripts of sentencings are not readily available in advanced searchable databases. At the same time, particularly since the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in United States v. Booker, sentencing precedent has come to play a significant role in federal sentencing proceedings. By way of example, this article discusses recent cases involving defendants with gambling addictions, and recent cases involving college admissions or testing fraud. The article explores the ways the parties in those cases have used sentencing precedent in their advocacy, as well as the ways the courts involved have used sentencing precedent to justify their decisions. Given the important role of sentencing precedent in federal criminal cases, the article finally looks at ways in which the body of sentencing law could be made more readily available to parties and courts alike.

AbstractThe aim of the paper is to investigate the role of dictionary form (paper versus electronic) in language reception, production and retention. The body of existing research does not give a clear answer as to which dictionary medium benefits users more. Divergent findings from many studies into the topic might stem from differences in research methodology (including the various tasks, participants and dictionaries used by different authors). Even a series of studies conducted by one researcher (Dziemianko, 2010, 2011, 2012b) leads to contradictory conclusions, possibly because of the use of paper and electronic versions of existing dictionaries, and the resulting problem with isolating dictionary form as a factor. To be able to argue with confidence that the results obtained follow from different dictionary formats, rather than presentation issues, research methodology should be improved. To successfully generalize about the significance of the medium for decoding, encoding and learning, the current study replicates previous research, but the presentation of lexicographic data on paper and on screen is now balanced, and the paper/electronic opposition is operationalized more appropriately. A real online dictionary and its paper-based counterpart composed of printouts of screen displays were used in the experiment in which the meaning of English nouns and phrases was explained, and collocations were completed with missing prepositions. A delayed post-test checked the retention of the meanings and collocations. The results indicate that dictionary medium does not play a statistically significant role in reception and production, but it considerably affects retention.

Which way do world outlooks, scientific findings and empiric evaluations correlate with each other in decision making in medicine? The answer to this question is given in the scientific context. There is a theory of decision making which is in demand by medical professionals, though not enough yet [1, 2]. So, what is the theory of decision making and to what extent its advancement may be applied to medicine with growing contradictions of technological revolution and human bioevolution? The choice of tactics in a patient’s management does not depend exclusively on clinical decisions. A doctor’s moral stand plays a significant role in decision making in medicine. This article deals with some factors that have effect on this stand. The role of ethical expert examination is substantiated. It is particularly important due to implementation of «human enhancement» technologies in medical practice. Decision making is always associated with a choice of options. Moral considerations are a key point that must influence this choice under uncertain predictions concerning application of new biotechnologies.

Despite sport rebranding becoming an emerging topic for both academia and industry, there has been a limited number of investigations on how sport rebranding influences sport fans. The aim of this study is to investigate how sport rebranding in the form of logo redesign influences fan loyalty. Through an experimental approach, the results indicate that attitude toward rebranding plays a significant role in fan response when sport rebranding occurs. Additional findings suggest that logo evaluation partially mediates the relationship between logo change and brand loyalty. This study makes significant contributions to the body of knowledge on sport rebranding by revealing how fans’ attitudes toward rebranding affects brand loyalty. The proposed model suggests directions for future sport rebranding research, and the paper provides implications for how sport marketers can use various rebranding strategies to improve rebranding outcomes and diminish negative responses from sport fans.

The purpose of this study is to determine the role and rights of women in Islamic and Western views. Islam is a grace to all nature and although we know that women are created from male ribs, Islam never states that women’s degrees are below men. The methodology used literature studies. As for the research results that the role of women is said to be important because of the many heavy loads it has to deal with, even the burdens that men should have been imposing. Women have equal and equal rights in Islam in contrast to those prosecuted by Western women who demand equality and identification between men and women in every respect. The point of departure they use in this is that their rights must be equal, identical and comparable. There is no privilege and primacy for either of them. Equations are different from those of the identities. The gender equations many westerners had buzzed, evidently having permeated into the body of these Muslims' Muslims. They had been fooled by the thoughts of the westerners, not even a few of whom were to screech the thought. Natural law is fixed in nature to have regulated gender relations in society. So, when in society there is and there is a female subordination phenomenon, it is due to female biological factors. Some answers about the low role of public dissector women due to biological constraints, such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. All of them became women's inhibitors to play a significant role in society.

El inicio de esta investigación se sitúa en una inquietud hacia una de las primeras formas de arte que el ser humano manifiesta de forma casi instintiva, la Danza; así mismo el contacto más directo con esta siendo lenguaje expresivo, donde la anatomía artística se convirtió en protagonista de la investigación. Este proyecto, refleja un cuerpo que se desliza en un tiempo preciso y un espacio narrativo en el cual se desdibuja descifrándose a sí mismo en la huella danzada, identidad de este y pretensión nuestra a alcanzar; algo efímero, su huella, su representación, su propia voz. Con ello se quiso reflejar que un dibujo anatómico, al igual que la danza de un cuerpo, se puede traducir a través del espacio y el tiempo, en cualquier otro modo de creación, ya sea escultórico, pictórico, escenográfico, musical, fotográfico, etcétera; cabe destacar el importante papel que juega el espacio y tiempo en este, pues traduce y traspasa los lenguajes trasladando la dimensión espacial; Hablamos pues, de bidi y tridimensionalidad.Dancing space traceThe aim of this research is to sed light on the latent concern about one of the earliest forms of art which humans being manifest instinctively, the Dance, moreover, the direct connection of this art with the expressive body language, where the artistic anatomy became the protagonist and challenge of this study. According to the facts mentioned above, the work focused on the body that slides into the precise time as well as the narrative space in which is decoded it self on the dance track, that represents it’s identify, moreover led my final goal to reach. Something ephemeral, it’s footprint, representation, what’s more it’s own voice. Furthermore, it is a reflection of how a picture of the anatomic body, as well as it’s own dance, can be represented through the space and time dimensions as any sort of creation. Whether sculptural, painterly, scenic, musical, photographic, so on. It claims to be noted the significant role of time and space on the dance as transfers and translate the different types of languages developing and modifying the spacial translation. Ending up in the bidi and three-dimensionality matter.“Danzando il segno dello spazio”L’inizio di questa ricerca si trova in una inquietudine verso una delle prime forme d’arte che l’essere umano manifesta quasi istintivamente, la danza; Allo stesso modo il contatto più diretto con questa come linguaggio espressivo, in cui l’anatomia artistica divenne protagonista delle indagini. Questo progetto, riflette un corpo scorrevole in un tempo preciso e uno spazio narrativo in cui si sfuma decifrato sé stesso nel segno danzato, l’identità di questo e obiettivo nostro di raggiungere; qualcosa di effimero, la sua impronta, la sua rappresentazione, la propria voce. Questo è stato lo scopo per dimostrare che un disegno anatomico, come la danza di un corpo, può essere tradotto attraverso lo spazio e il tempo, in qualsiasi altra modalità di creazione, sia la scultura, la pittura, teatro, musica, fotografia, ecc. Vale la pena notare l’importante ruolo dal spazio e il tempo in questo progetto, poiché traduce e proietta i linguaggi spostando la dimensione spaziale; Si parla poi di bidi e tridimensionalità

New digital devices monitoring the body are increasingly used as research devices. As highly intimate new media objects, placed next to our skin, they challenge our notions of privacy and contribute to the generation of affects—disrupting considerations of “successful” research. In this article, we offer an auto-ethnographic study of (not) using a wearable sleep-tracking device, the ŌURA smart ring, as a research device. We discuss the unexpected, intense affects we experienced when attempting to use the ring during a “failed” research process, feeling enchanted and harassed by it in turn. Reflecting on our affects enables us to identify different forms of intimacy: those related to disrupting the bodily norms of academia, and those disrupting the privacy of the sleeping body. To conclude, we discuss the potential of these disruptions to offer a better understanding of the significant role of the thing-power of research devices in qualitative research process.

The study of the human body in the system of traditional somatic ideas of the Turkic and Mongolian peoples of Inner Asia is urgent in the studies of humans as a social and biological beings. The problem of perception and comprehension of the composition of the main features constituting the human body, particularly such biological fluid as blood, is of particular interest in the study of mythological human anatomy. The interest in this element of the human body is due to the increased attention of the Turkic and Mongolian peoples to blood. The views on the nature of blood, the source of its formation, many prohibitions and signs associated with blood are known. Many concepts associated with human anatomy, including blood, formed the basis for the organization of the social structure of nomadic societies. Understanding the significant role of this biological fluid in the functioning of the body formed a certain system of ideas about the dependence of health, hereditary diseases and even a person's character on the appearance and volume of blood as the characteristics of this biological fluid available for visual perception. Blood unlike bone is mobile and changeable in the context of social interpretations. If the bone of the progenitor was not being changed passing to all his descendants, then the blood of representatives of the social community, who took women from different clans as wives, was mixed in marriage unions. The views of the Turkic and Mongolian peoples of Inner Asia on the composition of blood are characterized by uncertainty. The idea of a vital substance, a soul was widely developed in the worldview of the Turko-Mongols. Blood is one of the containers of the vital substance. A number of prohibitions and restrictions associated with blood allow us to talk about the significant role of the sun as a source of life, giving its vital energy to the blood. Obviously, evidence of this “relationship” is the color (red) and the warmth inherent to blood. However, ideas on the nature of blood formed in the traditional worldview of the Mongolian and Turkic peoples and recorded in the 18–19 centuries significantly differ from the early views of the ancestors of the nomads. Reconstruction of the Pra-Altai language made it possible to restore one of the key meanings of the term čiunu (blood) – “soul”, “wind”. We believe that early views on the nature of blood were greatly influenced by the phenomenon of respiration, which is characteristic of all beings.

Being close to the nature has helped Ayurveda to develop the principles which are time-tested. The unique concept of commonness between the cosmos and human body is the strength of Ayurveda.  The presence of the five elements such as prithvi, jala, teja, vayu and akasha in all the dravya can be deduced from the verse, ‘sarvam dravyam panchabhoutikam’. The body is said to be anitya (temporary) as it undergoes some apoptotic changes each moment. To replenish the lost bodily element, human is dependent on the diet. Ahara being pancabhautika, replenishes the the body to maintain dhatusamyata. A living body has had intrauterine as “garbha” and extrauterine life in the form of “shaddhatuja purusha”. Pancamahabhoota play significant role in garbha avastha in designing the anatomy and physiology of the body. Anatomical or physiological abnormalities seen during or post labour are also attributed to the pancamahabhoota. This works throws light on the role of the five elements in maintaining the normalcy or causing any abnormality in a garbha which may eventually form the base of Ayurveda genetics.
