The current world situation is both frightening and alarming due to the massive disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The next few days are censorious as we need to be very precautious in our daily regimen as well as dietary habits. Ayurveda offers knowledge about food based on certain reasoning. Indecent food custom is the chief cause for the rising development of health disorders in the current era. In classical texts of Ayurveda, the concept of diet explained well, ranging from their natural sources, properties and specific utility in pathological as well as physiological manner. In this work, the review of the relevant literature of Ahara (Diet) was carried out from Charak Samhita and other texts, newspapers, articles, web page related to the same.  Every human being is unique with respect to his Prakriti (Physical and mental temperament), Agni (Digestive capacity), Koshtha  (Nature of bowel) etc. For that reason, the specificity of the individual should be kept in mind. Ahara, when consumed in the appropriate amount at the right moment following all Niyamas (Guidelines) given in Ayurveda texts, gives immunity and keeps the body in a healthy state during pandemics such as Covid-19. Ultimately, this will help the human body to maintain its strength for life. This article reviews the concept of diet viz. combination of foods, their quantity and quality, methods of preparation and processing, which are to be followed during pandemics and are essential in maintenance and endorsement of health and preclusion of diseases.

With the exception of Figs. 1, 2, 3, the Gold Ornaments engraved in Plate VIII. have no reference whatever to each other. The first three were obtained by Viscount Strangford, Director of the Society, from a Greek priest at Milo, in the year 1820. Figs. 1 and 3 appear to have formed the ends of a light chain, and the other (fig. 2) to have been pendent by a small loop on the top of the head. The figure has unfortunately lost the feet and the left hand, but the other parts are perfect. The right hand is raised in an admonitory attitude. The forehead appears as if encircled with a wreath, while the body is crossed by what would seem to be intended for the tendril of a vine. The necklace was formerly in the collection of the late Mr. H. P. Borrell, of Smyrna, but I am informed by his brother, Mr. Maximilian Borrell, who now possesses it, that no record exists of its discovery, and that he cannot learn the name of the individual from whom it was purchased. It was well known that Mr. H. P. Borrell was in the habit of purchasing ancient coins, which were sent to him from all parts of Greece and Asia-Minor, and that many rare and unique specimens fell into his hands, of which he contributed descriptions in various volumes of the Numismatic Chronicle. The necklace may, therefore, have been included in one of these numerous consignments, and we can scarcely indulge the hope that the place of its discovery will ever be made known. As an example of ancient art, it may vie with the most elaborate and beautiful specimens of goldsmiths' work of any age or period. The details are wonderfully minute and delicate, even the backs of the button-like objects at the ends of the pendent cords being elaborately finished.

In order to live one must eat and if one is to live a full and active life the food that is eaten must supply all the nutrients required to maintain the body in a healthy state. An appreciation of the importance of diet has led to many modern studies in this field. The methods used include an examination of the environment of the country concerned; of its economic basis—for example whether it is mainly an agricultural or an industrial country, what food is available and whether such food is locally grown or imported; dietary surveys, usually at family level, of the food intake of the population and clinical studies to assess the health of the individual. The information gained in these surveys is used to assess the adequacy of the nutritional intake of the population. It has proved difficult to set up an accepted standard by which to judge adequacy of diet, but the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations has produced tables of recommended daily intakes of nutrients which can be taken as a practical guide.Some of these methods can be applied to ancient Mesopotamia in order to see whether the diet there can be considered adequate. Examination of the palaeoethnobotanical and palaeozoological evidence from excavated sites, together with references in cuneiform texts and representations of plants and animals on cylinder seals and reliefs, give information about the environment and the economic base. This was agriculture with cereals such as barley and wheat as the main crops and sheep, goats, cattle and pigs the main domesticated animals. Clinical studies of individual people are not possible: obviously no one is available for measuring and weighing or to supply blood and urine samples for tests! It may be, however, that the study of skeletal material will in future enable the likely height and weight of a population to be calculated and provide some information about calcium and Vitamin D deficiencies. It is impossible also to carry out the kind of dietary survey in which families are studied and their food weighed before eating so that exact food intake can be calculated. But by studying the botanical and faunal remains, cylinder seals and reliefs, and the cuneiform texts, it is possible to get some idea of the range of food which was available, which foodstuffs were utilized and how, and to a certain extent who ate what.

AbstractAiming to deepen our understandings of corporeal and embodied dimensions of transnational feminist and LGBTI + activism, this chapter is driven by the question: Why does the body still remain an important instrument of queer and feminist struggles in the era of digital solidarities? Following the International Women’s Day in diverse locales in Sweden, Turkey, and Russia, the ethnographic analyzes in this chapter bring forth the significance of embodied forms of resistance for the (re)making of space and explore how resistance flows across various scales. Engaging with the ambiguities of embodied resistance, this chapter visualizes the potential of corporeal modes of resistance to shift from the individual to the collective, showing that attention to multiple scales of resistance can provide more fine-grained understandings of the possibilities and constraints within which feminist and LGBTI+ struggles are located.

Health news has a special position due to both their corporate significance and being for the special/private areas of the readers. They also directly influence the health right, which is one of the fundamental, irreplaceable, nontransferable rights of the individual and based on the “value of being human”. The health news which is made inattentively or false can lead to ending an individual’s life or reducing the life quality of an individual.In this regard, in this study, which aims to reveal the ethical principles of health journalism in Turkey within the framework of social responsibility theory in relation to health journalism which requires a privileged responsibility and attention, a qualitative approach was adopted where the data was collected through document analysis and interviews.As a result, the health journalist needs to observe personal rights and act responsibly in order to avoid disrupting the body unity of a person, adversely affect the life quality of a person and avoid preventing the right to access to equal and quality health services in his professional journalist behaviors while producing news. Within this framework, the Ethical Principles of Health Journalism which should be taken into consideration by the journalist in the production process of the health news are as follows: Principle of not harming, principles of honesty and objectivity, principles of privacy and private life, principle of equity.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetSağlık haberleri hem taşıdıkları kamusal önem hem de okuyucuların özel/mahrem alanlarına yönelik olmaları nedeniyle özel bir konuma sahiptir.

Özensiz, eksik veya yanlış yapılan bir sağlık haberi, bireyin yaşamının sonlanmasına veya yaşam kalitesinin düşmesine neden olabilmektedir.Bu bağlamda ayrıcalıklı bir sorumluluk ve özen gerektiren sağlık haberciliği ile ilgili olarak, Türkiye’de sağlık haberciliği etik ilkelerinin ortaya konulması amaçlandığı çalışmada, verilerin doküman incelemesi ve görüşme yoluyla toplandığı nitel yaklaşım benimsenmiştir.Sonuç olarak sağlık habercisinin haber üretiminde profesyonel gazetecilik davranışlarının gereğiyle, kişinin vücut bütünlüğünü bozmamak, yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilememek, eşit ve kaliteli sağlık hizmetine ulaşma hakkını engellememek adına, kişilik haklarını da gözeterek, sorumlu davranmasının gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çerçevede gazetecinin sağlık haberi üretim sürecinde göz önünde bulundurması gereken Sağlık Haberciliği Etik İlkeleri; zarar vermeme ilkesi, doğruluk ve objektiflik ilkesi, mahremiyet ve özel hayat ilkesi, hakkaniyet ilkesi olarak belirlenmiştir.

The Right

The article examines the individual’s right to information privacy as an opportunity to have a non-public area of life. It is argued that a person, being a vulnerable creature, feels the need for secrecy, closeness and opacity of his or her personality. The right to information privacy does not mean complete concealment of private life, but the possibility of regulating access, when individuals can choose whom, when and to what extent to reveal the details of their lives. This presupposes both a person who feels him or herself to be an autonomous person and a society that respects his or her rights and freedoms. There is a duty of restraint and tact, which prohibits violating someone else’s privacy. As one of the aspects of privacy, in addition to the inviolability of the body and home, the human right to information protection is recognized. The theoretical foundation of the right to privacy is the philosophy of liberalism, which protects the individual from unwanted interference from the state and society. The need for private space has evolved in human history along with the growth of individualism. Currently, the right to information privacy is gaining special relevance in connection with the development of digital technologies that allow collecting, storing and processing large amounts of data. As a result, a person, on the one hand, does not know who, when and for what purpose collects his or her data, and, on the other hand, he or she often voluntarily, in connection with the need for social recognition, leaves information about him or herself on social networks. As a result of such actions, the loss of control over personal information can lead to undesirable consequences.

The circumstances of the discovery of the trepanned skull described in this paper may be briefly summarised here: the full report of the excavations during which it was discovered will appear in a forthcoming volume of Archaeologia. In the summer of 1938 I carried out excavations on behalf of H.M. Office of Works on a group of round barrows on Crichel Down, Dorset, some 5 miles north of the town of Blandford. One of these barrows (no. 14 of the forthcoming report), a very low and inconspicuous mound about 20 feet in diameter, was found to cover a grave cut in the chalk containing a crouched human burial. The skeleton lay on its left side with the head bent slightly forward, the legs flexed so that the heels were nearly touching the pelvis, the left arm extended and the right arm flexed so that the hand rested on the shoulder. At the foot of the grave lay a beaker of Type B1 on its side, the base resting against the right tibia of the skeleton. (Fig. 1).The whole burial was entirely typical of Beaker Period inhumations, and it was not until the skull was removed from the grave that it was found that it bore a large opening in the left parietal, and that into that opening the piece of bone which had been removed (by a careful process of grooving and ultimate excision) had been replaced before the individual had been laid in the grave. We were clearly in the presence of an exceedingly fine example of trepanning, and two points were immediately apparent, namely that the individual had not survived the operation, there being no evidence of healing on the edge of the opening, and that the replaced roundel of bone must have been strapped or bandaged into place before burial. As the skull was lifted, the roundel remained behind on the floor of the grave, and in the original deposition of the body something must have been done to secure it in position.

The development of biotechnology and life sciences has led to a clash between the endeavor for research and human dignity. Issues have been raised about biotechnological practices, not only for treatment but also for research. Genetic technology refers to the methods that make enable the interference in the structure of the genes that are found in the cell nucleus. The body of all this information is the individual's genome. By mapping the genome, it is now possible to diagnose hereditary diseases and abnormalities that humans might develop after their birth and during their lifetime. Such techniques and investigations lead not only to negative eugenics by the fetus' exclusion due to an abnormality, but to a positive one as well because perfect humans are chosen for implantation. Law, therefore, faces life as damage. Such cases have led to the enactment of a law which stipulates that life deserves/is worth per se, and the recognition of the individual's right not to be born with the value of individual is incompatible. On the contrary, it is argued that neither can the individual submit to a transcendent value of the human genus nor can the individual right to resort to Justice for a health problem that makes life difficult be annulled. Nevertheless, it appears that such a process leads to the hetero-definition of the human species and inevitably to the abasement of human dignity, since the principle of dissimilarity is abolished, and healthy patterns are created. Typical is the case of Recommendation 932 of the Council of Europe, which states that as a person has the right to life and human dignity, so one has the right to unchangeable hereditary features.

In this paper Dr. Davy gives a detailed account of the symptoms produced by the above disease, and of the appearance after death, in a man of thirty years of age. He also adverts to the composition of the air found in the lungs, which was collected by immersing the body in water, and puncturing the pleura, when it issued in the enormous quantity of 225 cubic inches. It was without smell, and extinguished flame, and was not inflammable. It consisted of 8 carbonic acid, and 92 azotic gas per cent.; and the author considers it as derived from the atmosphere by a morbid communication, which was discovered on dissection, between the pleura and atmosphere through the medium of the lung. To determine the mode in which its change of composition had been effected, Dr. Davy inflated the right pleura of a dog with atmospheric air, and killed the animal after 48 hours. On examining the air, the oxygen was found absorbed in larger proportion than the azote, which accounts for the accumulation of the latter gas in the preceding instance. To ascertain how far carbonic acid is absorbed by the pleura, a mixture of 80 parts of common air, and 20 of carbonic acid, was injected into the right pleura of a dog. After two days the animal appeared well, and a mixture of 75 of air and 25 of carbonic acid was thrown into the left pleura. Twentyfour hours after, the dog was killed, and the result was, that during a sojourn of three days in the pleura the oxygen had been absorbed in greater proportion than the carbonic acid, and the latter in a greater degree than the azote. The power thus exhibited by the pleura of absorbing one kind of gas more than another, without reference to their solubility in water, induced the author to institute some similar experiments with hydrogen, nitrous oxide, and nitrous gas. A mixture of carbonic acid and hydrogen thus applied did not appear to affect the health of the animal. A mixture of azote and nitrous gas killed the animal in five hours. In the former case the hydrogen disappeared, and its place was supplied by a small quantity of azote. As the author’s experiments induce him to believe that no air exists in the pleura in a healthy state, he is led to suppose that its appearance in this case is referrible to secretion.—In a note annexed to this paper, Dr. Davy expresses his doubt as to the existence of any free carbonic acid in the blood; since he could, in two experiments made for the purpose, obtain none by means of the air-pump.

Since 2020, the world has been immersed in a change in lifestyle (social, lifestyle, nutri-tion and physical activity patterns), due to the appearance of COVID-19 and the strict mobility measures which were implemented to prevent its spread. All these changes had a nutritional impact on people, modifying their dietary guidelines. This cross-sectional study was carried out to assess whether dietary habits, lifestyle, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet among the Spanish adult population (25–65 years old) during confinement was modified during the post-confinement period, using an e-survey through social networks, involving 510 subjects. A decrease in the intake of ultra-processed products, with a correlation between weekly food delivery orders at home and the consumption of salty snacks, sugary drinks, and processed pastries was also recorded. Most of the subjects performed physical exercise on a regular basis, maintaining the body weight in half of the participants. During the post-confinement period a substantial proportion of the population had healthy lifestyle and dietary habits, including the adequate consumption of fruits, vegetables and legumes; adequate time was spent preparing meals and the population did not regularly order food at home, which in the long term, reduced the risk of several diseases.

The Relationship

Liberty, and necessity are the premise for the perception of the relationship between man and nature. When objects exist in nature, individuals exist in people. Nature and man are a unity between the body and the individual in behavior. The successive act of liberty to fill the temporal gaps in the exercise of the right to life and the pursuit of happiness is the object of human science. Liberty is in itself, due to it, but depending on historical circumstances and conditions, liberty depends on different objects, knowledge, and needs of individuals, making behavior about necessity become liberty about responsibility. Individuals are acts of knowledge, with a will, and liberty is acts of intelligence and reason. When private ownership comes into being, liberty about the property becomes liberty about norms. Organizations become a means of subsistence that makes standards false. To submit to falsehoods in the course of living is a slave. The abolition of slaves is the subject of liberty. In the condition that there is no more antagonistic division of labor, diversity of occupations, an abundance of sexual orientation, and false standards are fully discovered, work and gender are equally noble and equal.
