ABSTRACT This research will elaborate four Indonesian contemporary choreographers, which lead to open the significant of embodiment process on Indonesian dancers. With a focus on four choreographers, Mar- tinus Miroto, Mugiyono Kasido, Hartati, and Jecko Siompo. A case study of body of those four choreo- graphers has reached its “institutional” level, so choosing those four characters, as a representation of Indonesian dancer is the right thing to do. With the complexity discipline and body work training, the four dancers and choreographer strengthening on how procession to achieve and advancing body work is located in some important process: exercise, training, and performance. This is different from the pro- cess of body works quality and the achievement of most dancers and choreographer outside of Indonesia. Usually the dancers outside of Indonesia only stress on two things: Training and performance. The four dancers in the work have had a typical body works each of them, but it is undeniable that there is a role in the respective Sardono as the maestro. Sardono’s strong influence thus again took place in forming a model to the body or body-dance attitude of dancers who then the outcome was, in fact, different from Sardono’s works. Keywords: contemporary, embodied, training, rehearsal, performance  ABSTRAK Penelitian ini membahas empat koreografer, dalam membuka wacana proses ketubuhan penari di Indonesia. Empat koreografer tersebut, Martinus Miroto, Mugiyono Kasido, Hartati, dan Jecko Siompo, memperlihatkan betapa kompleksitas proses ketubuhan mereka berbeda dengan penari dan koreografer pada umumnya, terutama dari luar Indonesia. Mereka mem- berikan pengalaman yang detail tentang pendisiplinan tubuh mereka untuk mencapai sebuah capaian dan keunggulan. Dengan kompleksitas disiplin dan training ketubuhan, keempat penari dan koreografer ini menggukuhkan betapa proses pencapaian dan kemuktahiran tubuh terletak pada beberapa proses penting: Training, Latihan, dan Pementasan. Jika ditilik secara ke- seluruhan, keempat penari ini mempunyai pengalaman belajar, atau setidaknya pernah men- galami proses menari bersama Sardono W. Kusumo. Ketubuhan yang yang dieksplorasi adalah ciri khas dari Sardono yang dikenal dengan laku dalam bahasa Jawa. Walaupun belajar dari Sar- dono, keempat koreografer tersebut mengembangkan tarian yang berbeda dengan Sardono. Kata kunci: kontemporer, ketubuhan, training, latihan, pementasan

This article explores the fundamental role of bodily movement in the development of musical knowledge and performance skills; in particular, how the body can be used to understand expressive musical material and to communicate that meaning to coperformers and audience. The relevance to the educator is explored (whether working with a child or adult beginner, or a more advanced learner). The article is divided into six main sections, tracing the role of body movement skill in music production, expressive musical performance, developing learners to play their musical instruments with technical and expressive appropriateness, coperformer coordination, and projection for audience perception. The work builds on a growing interest in the embodied nature of musical experience. The article concludes with case study observations of practical insights and applications for the teacher.

This article investigates ways in which theatre and performance have the potential to revisit and re-interpret ideological narratives. Drawing on the politics of transnational performance-making processes, it examines how multilingual theatre productions can contribute to the production of subjective and collective identities, and help articulate ideas and perceptions of belonging. With reference to 20/20 – a piece of documentary-style theatre about a major inter-ethnic conflict that took place in 1990 in a bilingual city in Romania – this case study maps out arguments for utilizing multilingualism on stage, and engages with the ethics of representation in the process of multilingual transfer. Billed as  ‘multi-ethnic and multilingual’, the production embraces an agenda that goes beyond the examination of an isolated local conflict and makes the point that both theatre-making and theatre-going are experiences that strongly interact with narratives of cultural identity and hybridization. Thus, the representation of belonging or not belonging is tied in with questions of agency, and the right of individuals to affirm and indeed interrogate their hereditary links to a community.

“Who knew that doing the wrong things could make everything so right?” There can be little doubt that sports’ dominant bioscientific articulation of the athletic body exerts a strong influence on coaches. Yet, on closer examination, this articulation and the practices it produces are not as straightforward as most coaches and scholars assume. Within the sociocultural study of coaching, scholars have drawn on Michel Foucault’s disciplinary framework to analyze many unseen problems and unintended consequences associated with coaches’ normal or everyday (bioscientific) practices. However, one significant aspect of Foucault’s theoretical framework that has received less attention from coaching scholars is how power and discourse work together to produce several coaching “truths.” To address this gap, in this article, we analyze the first author’s experiences as an international middle-distance runner by showing and telling what problems and constraints are produced when coaches, and by association their athletes, defer to a dominant bioscientific articulation of the athletic body in their training. We conclude by discussing the transformative possibilities when these “truths” are broken.

Bojanala Platinum District Municipality (BPDM), in the North West Province is endowed with the extractive economy. The District experiences challenges of capacity development of service delivery structures and programmes. It is in this context that this paper explains how local government responses to challenges of capacity development in the District Municipality. In addition, the paper explores ways in which they can be overcome for enhanced service delivery. The purpose of this study is to examine challenges related to the use of capacity development structures and programmes related to service delivery and explores how to overcome them. The study examines the structures and programmes, facilitators and inhibitors of skills development and performance initiatives within the context of local government capacity development. This study develops a theoretical framing incorporating scholarship on human capital and performance improvement in the context of local government. This framing is premised on the scholarly evidence that capacity development is an enabler of service delivery, influenced by skills development and municipal performance improvement. The research is a single case qualitative case study approach and employs an interpretative paradigm. The paper employs senior managers in the municipalities as the unit of analysis. That study reveals that there are difficulties associated with skills retention and organisational relations. In conclusion, political abandonment, poor communication and stakeholder engagements contribute to weakened inter-municipal co-operation and inadequate use of resources. The interface between learning and skills development contributes to the body knowledge.

An emerging perspective on human cognition and performance sees it as a kind of self-organizing phenomenon involving dynamic coordination across the body, brain and environment. Measuring this coordination faces a major challenge. Time series obtained from such cognitive, behavioral, and physiological coordination are often complicated in terms of non-stationarity and non-linearity, and in terms of continuous vs. categorical scales. Researchers have proposed several analytical tools and frameworks. One method designed to overcome these complexities is recurrence quantification analysis, developed in the study of non-linear dynamics. It has been applied in various domains, including linguistic (categorical) data or motion (continuous) data. However, most previous studies have applied recurrence methods individually to categorical or continuous data. To understand how complex coordination works, an integration of these types of behavior is needed. We aimed to integrate these methods to investigate the relationship between language (categorical) and motion (continuous) directly. To do so, we added temporal information (a time stamp) to categorical data (i.e., language), and applied joint recurrence analysis methods to visualize and quantify speech-motion coordination coupling during a rap performance. We illustrate how new dynamic methods may capture this coordination in a small case-study design on this expert rap performance. We describe a case study suggesting this kind of dynamic analysis holds promise, and end by discussing the theoretical implications of studying complex performances of this kind as a dynamic, coordinated phenomenon.

The term is related to something occurring on one half of the body either to the left or the right side. is thus weakness on any half of the body. This can be explained in various ways like loss of motor control, inability to feel different side of the body, or can even be a general of weakness. is seen in almost 8 out of 10 stroke survivors. If a patient is having it, then the patient may have difficulty walking, standing, and maintaining balance and may also have numbness or tingling on weaker side. can sometimes be confused with the term . Both of these conditions can occur after a stroke. , however, is basically paralysis on any one part of the body where it becomes difficult to move the affected side at all and may lose bladder control too. The patient may face trouble while speaking, swallowing, and even breathing. , on the other hand mainly involves weakness rather than paralysis. We present a case of 39 year old male patient from rural area who presented with a history of having falling down 8 days back and had a head injury, also complained about weakness –left sided giddiness. He was referred to tertiary care hospital and the patient was diagnosed with “Left Hemiparesis with Acute Infarct” and further treatment was given to the patient and his condition was improved at the time of discharge. With proper medications and lifestyle changes “Left with acute ” can be managed. as soon as patient receives the treatment, the chances of recovery increases. From this case study it can be concluded that the combination therapy of appropriate medications and lifestyle modifications can provide promising results in case of and thus can stop further deterioration to conditions like “”.

Reconfigurable computing architectures allow the adaptation of the underlying datapath to the algorithm. The granularity of the datapath elements and data width determines the granularity of the architecture and its programming flexibility. Coarse-grained architectures have shown the right balance between programmability and performance. This paper provides an overview of coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures and describes Versat, a Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array (CGRA) with self-generated partial reconfiguration, presented as a case study for better understanding these architectures. Unlike most of the existing approaches, which mainly use pre-compiled configurations, a Versat program can generate and apply myriads of on-the-fly configurations. Partial reconfiguration plays a central role in this approach, as it speeds up the generation of incrementally different configurations. The reconfigurable array has a complete graph topology, which yields unprecedented programmability, including assembly programming. Besides being useful for optimising programs, assembly programming is invaluable for working around post-silicon hardware, software, or compiler issues. Results on core area, frequency, power, and performance running different codes are presented and compared to other implementations.

This article examines how the use of emergent smart baby monitors re-mediates parent–baby touch, notions of connection, parental sensing and the interpretation of babies’ bodies, and contributes to the formation of subjectivities. Domestic baby monitors are a mid 20th-century phenomenon which normalizes parental anxieties. While baby monitoring is not new, the ‘next generation’ of wearable bio-sensing baby monitors offers a different relationship to the body via the physiological tracking of babies, and the sending of information or alerts to parents’ via connected mobile apps. These devices have been associated with creating unnecessary parental anxiety and the digital ‘replacement’ of parental touch, although little research exists on their use in the context of parent–infant interaction or touch. The authors present a qualitative case study of one such technology, Owlet, to explore how parents experienced, understood and negotiated the discourses of parent–infant touch that circulate around and through Owlet, with particular attention to the relationship between visual and tactile resources. The study focuses on both its multimodal design and take-up by parents through analysis of interviews with the Owlet designer, Owlet as a product, focus groups with parents and families’ home experiences of Owlet. Data is analysed through a tri-part lens, which first combines multimodal social semiotic and sensory ethnographic approaches, and then the analytical concept of governmentality. The findings are discussed in relation to four analytical themes: (1) creating a desire for digitally mediated touch; (2) spatiality of digitally mediated connection; (3) formulating the ‘right kind’ of touch; and (4) reconfiguring ‘knowing touch’. The authors discuss multimodal discourses pertinent to the shaping of parent–baby touch practices including: rationality and efficiency; individualism, autonomy and freedom; and self-improvement and empowerment. They conclude that the discourses that coalesce around Owlet contribute to the reconfiguration of parent–baby touch and the formation of neoliberal subjectivities.

The ankle joint is the most common site for a ligament injury in the body. Some ankle joint injuries are minor and heal with some rest from activities, but some are serious and require immediate medical attention. An ankle sprain refers to ligament injuries of the ankle. In classics, there is no direct reference regarding sprain and its manage- ment. In Susrutha Samhitha Chikitsa Sthana 3rdchapter, Bhagna Chikitsitham, Acharya Susruta has mentioned the application of Manjishtadi Lepa for traumatic joint injuries. In the present case study, a 22 years old male pa- tient visited the OPD with severe pain and swelling of the right ankle following a twisting injury of the foot. He was diagnosed with a grade 1 ankle sprain and was bandaged with Manjishtadi Lepa. Management with Man- jishtadi Lepa has shown significant relief in pain and swelling as well as in the restoration of normal movements. Keywords: Ankle sprain, Manjishtadi Lepa

Compartment syndrome occurs when excessive pressure builds up inside an enclosed muscle space in the body. The dangerously high pressure in compartment syndrome impedes the flow of blood to and from the affected tissues. It can be an emergency, requiring surgery to prevent a permanent injury. In this case study, a lower extremities venous examination was performed on a male patient suspected of having compartment syndrome, as an incidental finding. Sonographic evaluation of the right leg revealed the absence of popliteal and small saphenous veins, and acute thrombus in the posterior tibial veins. The evaluation further revealed an incidental finding of double pseudo-aneurysm in the popliteal fossa, which was suspected for increasing the excessive compartmental pressure. This unique case study presents sonographical evaluation strategies when compartment syndrome is suspected.
