Visceral Leishmaniasis is considered by WHO as one of the leading diseases in the world and is present in 88 countries worldwide.It affects poor communities in peripheral areas. It infects the internal organs of the body. It is fatal if not treated.It is caused by the parasite L.donovani in the old world and L.infantum in the new world. Correct diagnosis is necessary if the disease is to be treated.Many diagnostic techniques are known but none is agreed upon worldwide.This study aims to compare two techniques for the diagnosis of VL in Sudan.37 patients was included in this study.Buffy coat smears were prepared from peripheral blood of these patients and were searched for the presence of the parasite.Serum from these blood samples was used to preform DAT technique.The sensitivity of buffy coat smear was 37.8% and that of DAT was 100%.When MacNemar test was conducted, it was found that DAT is better than buffy coat smear for the diagnosis of VL.We concluded that DAT is a better diagnostic technique and could be adapted for diagnosis of VL in Sudan.

The article deals with such categories of carnivalization as a free familiar contact, eccentricity, profanation, carnival ambivalence, crowning, and debunking the carnival king. Taking these categories to the analysis of B. Vasilyev’s story «Tomorrow Was the War» into consideration allows not only to reveal the features of the carnival poetics of the work, but also to understand more deeply the atmos-phere of total Stalinist terror reigned in the country on the eve of the war. Turning to the theory of carnivalization helps to draw a conclusion about how heavy was the atmosphere of suspicion, informers, and unjustified repression created by the NKVD with the support ofthe state machine. B. Vasi-lyev makes the reader wonder whether the new world order that is being estab-lished can be considered better than the old one that has been swept away by the revolution. Thus, the main goal of the carnival is realized in the story–to turn inside out the usual ideas about the world as a reasonable hierarchical system, to turn the usual order of things upside down, to ridicule everything familiar and frozen, so that through denial, ridicule (symbolic death) to promote the re-vival and renewal of the world.

The woman adopted the act of writing afterwards as a way to understand the world around the woman, and she took various methods to prove the woman epistemological uniqueness and privacy, and the most famous of those written means is in writing with the body, which is a cognitive act that the woman uses to understand the woman past and the woman new world, in order to express the woman actual reality that revolves around the theme of the body, Writing cannot go beyond it because it is a realistic being that all things are centered around. This throws the woman into the dilemma of writing in light of a conservative social reality that made the body among the taboos that cannot be penetrated, and if that happens, writing is subject to moral questioning and harsh criticism, especially from the male community.

Abstract This article presents the first systematic typological study of emotional expressions involving body parts at the scale of a continent, namely the Australian continent. The role of body parts in figurative descriptions of emotions, a well-established phenomenon across the world, is known to be widespread in Australian languages. This article presents a typology of body-based emotional expressions across a balanced sample of 67 languages, where we found that at least 30 distinct body parts occur in emotional expressions. The belly is by far the most frequent, and a dozen others also have significant representation. The study shows how the properties of these body parts – e.g., whether they are internal organs or visible facial parts – partly determine which historical scenarios led to their linguistic associations with emotions, and in turn, their semantic and figurative properties.

Aim. To study the phylogenetic regularities of has evolutional process in animal domestication has been the object of research. To cover the materials of ancient Tripilskiy Settlement (Luka-Vrublivetska, Usatovo, Prychornomorye) has been the task of our research. Methods. Archeological (skeletons of wild and domestic animals), zootechnical (measures, parameters, indices) comparative and anatomic (skull, bones, muscles, internal organs), immune and genetic (blood group, protein polymorphism) were the methods. Results. Ancestors of domestic animals habited on the large areals of Ukraine and surrounding territories (wolves, wild boars, wild bulls, wild horses, wild ancestors of sheep and goats have been the object for hunting and domestication. Tripilska culture occupied the large territory long the banks of Dniper, Dnister, South Buh, Dunai. Ukraine has become one of the world centers of animal domestication in that epoch. Conclusions.Domestication of animals – is complicated and long process with its change ability of features, selection of excessive and dominant mutations. On the base of long-team investigations of animals domestication we offer to name this new world center of dog, swine, sheep, goat, cattle, horse and bee domestication as – Tripilska. Keywords: domestication, population, selection, gen, genome.

Due to the increasingly shorter development times in the automotive industry the aspect of a continuous virtual product validation is getting more important. For example, in the field of the body in white construction the metal forming-specific process steps in the press shop and the hemming processes in the body shop are designed with the aid of finite element simulations. Even though the computing speeds of the latest finite element solvers are increasing constantly, there is still a huge effort in time to do the pre-and post-processing of a hemming simulation. In order to improve the response time of the hang-on-parts’ manufacturing process verification, a metamodel-based part analysis is aspired. Based on a categorization of the part outline, which has to be analysed, a validation of the hemming process is carried out by using mathematical metamodels in terms of predicting failure probability and production feasibility. By splitting up the part outline into individual segments a fast analysis can be achieved. Here, an automated process is evaluating each segment individually with a special diagnostic technique. The system delivers output results, such as plastic strain values, the tendency of wrinkling, flange length, roll in, etc. Especially in an early development phase, this procedure is advantageous to compare and evaluate different hemming concept alternatives on an efficient way. The high variety of hang-on-parts, which have to be validated, requires that the simulation outlay has to be as small as possible. With this new diagnostic technique an automated hemming validation of hang-on-parts can be executed without doing a finite-element-simulation. So, there is no simulation model which has to be set up, calculated and evaluated. This helps to reduce the time effort and the amount of simulation loops for validating a hemming process. Furthermore, the degree of the part maturity is increased in an early development phase very efficiently.

Introduction: The palmaris longus (PL) is very prone to anatomical variance. It may exhibit agenesis, reversal, and duplication. The reversal variant presents with the PL tendinous aspect proximally and the muscle belly distally. It is an important finding, and it is important to consider when making a differential diagnosis. This is the only reported case of a left distal forearm PL muscle variant with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a Caucasian adult male. Case Report: A 28-year-old Caucasian male presented to the clinic with an abnormal ultrasound finding of a left wrist mass. The patient was instructed to get an MRI, which demonstrated and further confirmed the reversed PL muscle. Conclusion: Although rare, anatomic muscle variance may occur in many places of the body leading to symptoms that need attention. These variants should be considered in orthopedic differential diagnosis and ruled out appropriately with proper diagnostic techniques. By making the correct diagnosis, it leads to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction both conservatively and surgically.

ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) is a universally known chronic infectious disease that can affect any part of the body including oral cavity. Though usually affects the lungs, tubercle bacilli can spread hematogenously to involve other parts of the body. Oral lesions, although rare, are very important for early diagnosis and interception of primary TB. Here, we report a case of oral TB that manifested as painless extraoral swelling on the right side of the mandible which was initially small, later increased in size within 3 months. The patient was asymptomatic for pulmonary TB. Excisional biopsy was done. The histopathological section showed granulomatous lesion, and Ziehl—Neelsen (ZN) stain showed acid-fast magenta color rods suggesting tuberculous infection. This prompted us to validate with other advanced diagnostic technique, such as polymerized chain reaction (PCR) for tubercle bacilli. Thus, we emphasize on few advanced diagnostic techniques in the detection of the TB. How to cite this article Pavithra V, Nambiar S, Augustine D, Sowmya SV, Kumar KV, Prasad K, Rao RS.

The modern global humanitarian system takes the form it does because it is underpinned by liberal world order. Now the viability of global liberal institutions is increasingly in doubt, a backlash against humanitarianism (and human rights) has gained momentum. I will argue that without liberal world order, global humanitarianism as we currently understand it is impossible, confronting humanitarians with an existential choice: how might they function in a world which doesn’t have liberal institutions at its core? The version of global humanitarianism with which we are familiar might not survive this transition, but maybe other forms of humanitarian action will emerge. What comes next might not meet the hopes of today’s humanitarians, however. The humanitarian alliance with liberalism is no accident, and if the world is less liberal, its version of humanitarian action is likely to be less liberal too. Nevertheless, humanitarianism will fare better than its humanist twin, human rights, in this new world.

In Lithuanian literature, žeme ‘land, earth, ground’ is understood as a planet, as one of the four elements, as an element in opposition to water, or as solid ground. It differs from the sky and stands in opposition to it because the sky is good, while žeme is full of things that are unfriendly to people. Žeme is the world with life going on; buildings stand on its surface, people sit, stand or lie on it, etc. It is the most valuable property that can be sold, given, leased, or left as inheritance. People are interested not only in what is going on its surface but also in the layer that is cultivated (soil). People want this layer to grow flowers, trees and grass for them. They find various things in this layer and think that land can hide a lot from them. Žeme is the mother that provides life and shelter after death. It takes care of people, feeds them and talks to them. It also serves as a reference frame on the basis of which people evaluate large and small things or things hanging above it. Žeme can refer to a specific state or a nation that lives in own land, as well as to a person’s native home and lives of their ancestors. Žeme is alive as much as humans are: it has a face, parts of the body and internal organs, it experiences human emotions and has divine powers. Žeme can be of various colours: from the traditional colour of fertile soil, i.e., black, to subtle shades, such as yellowish brown or blue. It is also characterised through most unusual words, such as “sinful”, “juicy”, “slim”, “like caviar” and others. The smell of žeme is also exceptional: it is wet and sour. It smells of oats, barley, summer home – the smell fills people’s hearts with joy, evokes memories and longing.
