More marvellous and more remarkable than the real conquests of Alexander are the stories circulated about him, and the legends which have clustered round his name and his exploits. The history of Alexander has, from a very early period, been embellished with legends and tales. They spread from nation to nation during the whole of the ancient times, and all through the Middle Ages. Many scholars have followed up the course of this dissemination of the fabulous history of Alexander. It would, therefore, be idle repetition of work admirably done by men like Zacher, Wesselofsky, Budge, and others, should I attempt it here. All interested in the legend of Alexander are familiar with those works, where also the fullest bibliographical information is to be found. I am concerned here with what may have appeared to some of these students as the bye-paths of the legend, and which, to my mind, has not received that attention which is due to it, from more than one point of view. Hitherto the histories of Alexander were divided into two categories; the first were those writings which pretended to give a true historical description of his life and adventures, to the exclusion of fabulous matter; the other included all those fabulous histories in which the true elements were smothered under a great mass of legendary matter, the chief representative of this class being the work ascribed to a certain Callisthenes. The study of the legend centred in the study of the vicissitudes to which this work of (Pseudo-) Callisthenes had been exposed, in the course of its dissemination from the East, probably from its native country, Egypt, to the countries of the West.

What is there in the name? May be it is true philosophically, but, from Ayurvedic perspective especially from Nama rupa vijnana`s point of view, a lot is hidden in the name. Plants are not named just because they need the name, on the contrary, they help in understanding various aspects of the plant. The rationale of naming a plant is well documented in Raja nighantu. Though, there is a confusion about its time, yet, most of Ayurveda scholars believe it to be a work of 15th century. The pharmacological action of a plant is taken as a basis under the heading prabhava (effect) in naming a plant. This way of naming a plant helps a lot to have a look at its mechanism of action. For the reason, it is a great clue towards the pharmacodynamics of that plant and basis of many other plants working on the same line. Keeping this fact in mind, an earnest attempt is made in this review to explore the plants that are attributed with the names on the basis of their action in Raja nighantu. This review reveals 170 plants named after 36 activities with 153 synonyms.

Narrative Function

The narrative dates from a long time ago and the subject of its research was to study fundamental principles of narration.It is so old that the ideas of its structure have been developed in the ancient times. The etymology of the term "narrative", is derived from the Latin and its meaning is narration. This term was emerged in the literary studies as a result of novelist works by Roland Bart, Claude Bremann, Cvetan Todorov and others. In the twentieth century, many theories were created about the narrative, and in the same century, the main analytical components of narrative - story, sound, time, point of view, character, role were established.Narrative can be considered as a feature of postmodernism, because narrative sources take special significance in postmodernism.While researching modern literature a significant function is given to the variety of narrative usages. The aim of the theme is to research the narrative function on the basis of comparative analysis of Aka Morchiladze's creative works.Aka Morchiladze's novels are filled with familiar literary or historical motives, acting people, stories, but itcreates a different reality through narrative or literary plays.The author creates a narrative text based on literary texts and "historical information". Historical information that is used in the text does not correspond to reality, and we, the readers, think that we are about to learn “historical novel” and the narrator is a historian,-not a novelist. Finally, we realize that we deal with the "fake history", allusion of writer's fantasy and literary and historical facts. Therefore, with regards of the presented issues, it is necessary to take into consideration the specificity of postmodern literature and peculiarities of realization of this specificity in Georgian reality. Narrative sources are of particular importance in postmodernism, which is one of the most important elements of the study of the text to be analyzed.

Ethnobotanical Uses

Humans have known the therapeutic properties and plant origin poisons of many plant species since ancient times. Ancient people who had no real and scientific knowledge on diseases and treatments tried to find solutions to these problems by the opportunities they had and the theories they could produce. Plants are the most important source of traditional folk medicine. People around the world have benefited from plants grown in their environment for this purpose. In these drugs, whole plant or various plant organs or secondary substances were used. Over the years, several therapies have emerged to treat herniated disc, ranging from conservative treatment to minimally invasive and percutaneous techniques to open surgical methods. This chapter examines the recent studies to form a compilation on ethnobotanical uses of medicinal plants for the treatment of herniated disc and their local names, parts, and usage forms in Turkish traditional medicine.

There being unquestionable historical facts and monumental ruins to testify to a considerable amount of civilization amongst the Sinhalese at an early period of their history, it may not unreasonably be supposed that they had a code of written laws, and a regular Government with a suitable executive. This cannot well be doubted, since it appears that law itself formed, in ancient times, a subject of study in the island. No regular records of these things, however, have come down to us, owing, in all probability, to the wanton destruction of literary records and libraries during the several invasions from the continent of India. Sinhalese historians with one voice deplore the devastations committed by the Cholas about the commencement of the thirteenth century, when the island suffered irreparable losses, both in a literary and political point of view, from the Saracenic fury of the invaders.

At all times, the book was understood not only as a means of preserving and transforming knowledge, but also as a means of knowing the world around us. At the same time, from ancient times it was a subject of knowledge. Gradually its theoretical phenomenon was formed. The book essentially (and it happened historically) is the most important form of consolidation and transfer of information in space and time. From the point of view of the theory of communication, the book serves as one of the forms of existence and dissemination of semantic information, a means of organizing the work of individual consciousness into a sign system for the perception of its social consciousness. After all, the evolution of the book is inextricably linked with the history of mankind. She is the foundation on which the culture of peoples is built. It helps society to grow and improve, borrow and use all the mass of knowledge accumulated by mankind. The book is the most complete and comprehensive expression of the spiritual culture of mankind, since its origin and development are inextricably linked with it.

Atualmente, temos um grande contingente de crianças frequentando a escola, porém muitos alunos não têm se apropriado dos conhecimentos curriculares, fato que é objeto de estudos no âmbito da Educação e da Psicologia Escolar e Educacional. Nesse contexto, nosso objetivo é apresentar a compreensão de professores sobre as dificuldades encontradas no processo de escolarização e o relato que fazem sobre o enfrentamento dessas dificuldades em uma cidade do Norte do Paraná. Para tanto, inicialmente, faremos uma discussão sobre o fracasso escolar; na sequência, apresentaremos alguns pressupostos do processo ensino-aprendizagem com fundamentos na Psicologia Histórico-Cultural e, finalmente, apresentaremos dados de uma pesquisa sobre as queixas escolares realizada com trinta professores das séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental de cinco escolas. Nossa conclusão foi que uma visão culpabilizante e individualizadora continua explicando as dificuldades no processo de escolarização e que os alunos vivem em uma sociedade excludente, a qual não socializa os bens materiais e culturais de forma igualitária. Também, concluímos ser necessário propor mediações diferenciadas, para que todos os estudantes tenham acesso ao conhecimento.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Queixas escolares. Educação.

This fact has actually been focused in studies by Education and by School and Educational Psychology. This paper focus on teachers’ understanding about difficulties involved in the schooling process and the reporting made about facing them in a town in the northern region of the state of Paraná, Brazil. A discussion of school failure will be held, followed by some presuppositions of the teaching-learning process foregrounded on Historical and Cultural Psychology. Data from a research on school complaints with thirty teachers of the first forms of the Primary School from five schools will be given. A guilt-ridden and individualized point of view is still rife to explain the difficulties in the schooling process. Further, data reveal that students live in an excluding societywhich does not socialize equally material and cultural goods. Differentiated mediations are required so that knowledge may be accessible to all students.KEYWORDS: School complaints. Education. School and educational psycology.

A fitoterapia apresenta inúmeras possibilidades de tratamento, e tem se mostrado muito eficiente e um importante aliado para a medicina, cuja  utilização na área da saúde é crescente em função do  fato da busca constante de novos medicamentos com uma alta eficácia e baixa toxicidade, como é o caso da área odontológica, na qual se pode citar em específico a Punica granatum L. (romã). Assim, a finalidade deste trabalho é mostrar, através de pesquisas bibliográficas, a relevância do uso da espécie P. granatum na área odontológica, enfatizando seu potencial de eficácia como agente antimicrobiano sobre os micro-organismos do biofilme dental. Para isso, foi discutido sobre a importância da fitoterapia e da P. granatum na saúde bucal, além da sua aceitabilidade frente à realidade brasileira, fazendo algumas considerações sobre o biofilme dental e, também, sobre a ação antimicrobiana da espécie. Além disso, comparou-se o efeito da clorexidina com a romã, uma caracterização fitoquímica do extrato da romã, a partir da literatura científica e, por último, foi avaliada a eficácia e ação da P. granatum na saúde bucal em comparação com o gluconato de clorexidina. Com a pesquisa foi possível concluir que a ação farmacológica da P. granatum na odontologia é possível pela presença de seus importantes fitoconstituintes, que agem combatendo o biofilme bacteriano. Palavras-chave: Antimicrobiano. Biofilme. Fitoterapia. Romã.

(pomegranate). Thus, the aim of this work is to show through bibliographic research the relevance of the use of  P. granatum species in the dental area emphasizing its potential as an effective antimicrobial agent on the  dental biofilm microorganisms.Therefore,  the importance of phytotherapy and P. granatum in oral health were discussed, besides  their acceptability to the Brazilian reality, making some considerations about the dental biofilm and also about the species antimicrobial action. In addition, the effect of chlorhexidine with pomegranate was comapted, a phytochemical characterization of pomegranate extract from the scientific literature, and finally evaluated the efficacy and action of P. granatum in oral health compared to chlorhexidine gluconate. With the research it was possible to conclude that the  P. granatum pharmacological action in dentistry is possible due to the presence of its important phytochemicals that act against the bacterial biofilm. Keywords: Antimicrobial.
