Suku Anak Dalam is known as an isolated community in Jambi adhering to animism and dynamism. However, in the last few decades, some of Suku Anak Dalam people have converted to Islam. This article examines the changes in the inheritance system, and factors influencing them. This study uses qualitative analysis with a socio-legal perspective. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The result reveals that, in practice, the use of customary inheritance law seems to be more dominant than Islamic inheritance law. Furthermore, the shifting in the inheritance system could be seen in the inheritance distribution methods and inheritance classification. These changes are influenced by the religious conversion, social interaction with incomers and their migrations to other regions. AbstrakSuku Anak Dalam dikenal sebagai kelompok masyarakat terasing di Jambi. Mereka  menganut kepercayaan animisme dan dinamisme. Namun, dalam beberapa dekade terakhir, Suku Anak Dalam telah melakukan konversi agama menjadi Islam. Artikel ini mengkaji tentang bentuk pergeseran sistem kewarisan ini serta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis kualitatif dalam perspektif normatif-sosiologis. Sementara itu, pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam praktiknya, berlaku dualisme hukum, yaitu hukum waris Islam dan hukum waris adat. Namun, penggunaan hukum waris adat terlihat lebih dominan dibandingkan hukum waris Islam. Selanjutnya, pergeseran sistem kewarisan, di antaranya terlihat pada proses pewarisan hingga perubahan bentuk dan penggolongan harta waris. Terjadinya pergeseran nilai ini dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, di antaranya: konversi agama, interaksi sosial dengan pendatang, dan migrasi ke wilayah lain.

Tracy and Doremus have demonstrated chemical bonding between bone and hydroxylapatite with transmission electron microscopy. Now researchers ponder how to improve upon this bond in turn improving the life expectancy and biocompatibility of implantable orthopedic devices.This report focuses on a study of the- chemical influences on the interfacial integrity and strength. Pure hydroxylapatite (HAP), magnesium doped HAP, strontium doped HAP, bioglass and medical grade titanium cylinders were implanted into the tibial cortices of New Zealand white rabbits. After 12 weeks, the implants were retrieved for a scanning electron microscopy study coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy.Following sacrifice and careful retrieval, the samples were dehydrated through a graduated series starting with 50% ethanol and continuing through 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, and 100% ethanol over a period of two days. The samples were embedded in LR White. Again a graduated series was used with solutions of 50, 75 and 100% LR White diluted in ethanol.

Electrodermal and electroencephalic responsivity to sound and to light was studied in 96 normal-hearing adults in three separate sessions. The subjects were subdivided into equal groups of white men, white women, colored men, and colored women. A 1 000 cps pure tone was the conditioned stimulus in two sessions and white light was used in a third session. Heat was the unconditioned stimulus in all sessions. Previously, an inverse relation had been found in white men between the prominence of alpha rhythm in the EEG and the ease with which electrodermal responses could be elicited. This relation did not hold true for white women. The main purpose of the present study was to answer the following questions: (1) are the previous findings on white subjects applicable to colored subjects? (2) are subjects who are most (or least) responsive electrophysiologically on one day equally responsive (or unresponsive) on another day? and (3) are subjects who are most (or least) responsive to sound equally responsive (or unresponsive) to light? In general, each question was answered affirmatively. Other factors influencing responsivity were also studied.

Research in recent years, especially in the analgesic field, has intensively studied the placebo effect and its mechanisms. It has been shown that physical complaints can be efficiently reduced via learning and cognitive processes (conditioning and expectancies). However, despite evidence demonstrating a large variety of physiological similarities between pain and itch, the possible transfer of the analgesic placebo model to itch has not yet been widely discussed in research. This review therefore aims at highlighting potential transfers of placebo mechanisms to itch processes by demonstrating the therapeutic issues in pharmacological treatments for pruritus on a physiological basis and by discussing the impact of psychological mechanisms and psychological factors influencing itch sensations.
