Chapter five argues that John Keats, usually read as Romanticism’s most ardent poet-physician, had knowledge of British medical ethics that led him to deny any neat congruity between the humanitarian duties of physicians and poets. While the former are ethically bound to dull pain, the latter are tasked with furthering the painful, pedagogical process of ‘Soul-Making’ Keats outlines in an 1819 letter. By reading Keats’s two Hyperion poems against an 1816 medical ethics text written for students of Guy’s Hospital like Keats, this chapter argues that by the end of his life, Keats dismissed the idea that poets, like physicians, must above all spare pain to their patients. Fallen from deity to mortality, the Titans of Hyperion develop distinct selves as they acquire individual histories of suffering. Their agony, re-presented in the metapoetic Fall of Hyperion, represents the ideal effect of art on readers: a pedagogical ‘sickness not ignoble’ whose infection is essential to crafting an individual subject. Anticipating a key mandate of narrative medicine, Keats enlists poetry in the rich but difficult mission of exploring how pain shapes an individual’s life story.

This chapter devotes specific consideration to the complex relationship between contemporary Jewish identity and klezmer music in the city—as seen in two case studies that both directly address Berlin Jewish history through music. The first of these is a project that unearths the rich recorded legacy of two prewar Berlin Jewish record labels (Semer and Lukraphon) and re-presents their music for a modern concert audience. Despite the pre-Holocaust provenance of this music, a post-Holocaust framing is unavoidable, making these materials both a way of hearing the past and also a commentary on the present (including changing German-Jewish relations). In the process, Semer Ensemble raises important questions about the relationship of bounded historical materials to contemporary performance practice. The chapter also critiques the project, arguing that while it powerfully illustrates the wealth of talent and creativity in Berlin’s Jewish music scene, it also bends certain historical narratives to better suit its own artistic aims. Secondly, the chapter discusses the life story and work of singer Tania Alon, one of the few Berlin-born Jews on today’s klezmer and Yiddish scene. Tania’s deeply felt testimony as the granddaughter of Holocaust victims stands as a powerful contrast to the easy fluidity of the contemporary milieu and reminds us of the very personal resonances that this music also contains. In particular, Tania’s singing at Stolpersteine ceremonies is explored, through her own words, as a way of sounding the silenced voices of her family and simultaneously an aural part of the urban fabric.

It has become critically imperative that career counselling be made accessible to the majority of the South African population. At the same time it has to continue to address the needs and diversity of individual learners. This article attempts to illustrate the potential and flexibility of a post-modern model for career counselling. Career counselling from a post-modern perspective requires reconsidering the traditional modern approach of the 20th century. Increasing disillusionment with modernism because of unfulfilled dreams and ideals have resulted in a change of approach to career counselling that corresponds with the post-modern discourse. The change of focus has been one from ‘matching to the ‘empowerment’ of clients, not only to make career choices, but also to accept primary responsibility for these decisions. The needs of the client come first with the sole view of empowering him/her to make his/her own decisions about the future. A narrative approach is adopted by which the client creates hislher own life story, with a view to creating an ideal story as close to the ideal as possible. This model, which progresses through three phases, inter alia, comprises a consultative process of career counselling to all learners, irrespective of race, gender, age or culture. The article is highlighted by the presentation of a case study in which the proposed model for post-modern career counselling is put into practice by administering counselling to a gifted black child.

Animals require well-balanced nutrition. The elemental content of the vegetation of meadows is influenced by as many factors such as heat, rainfall, irrigation, soil type and nutrients, meadow types, species, aspects of the vegetation period and cultivation.Natural meadows used extensively are common sights on river floodplains. Since chemicals are banned and the species number is high, measuring the elemental composition of plants on these meadows is beneficial. Cenological survey and element content measurements were held on the rich flora of four natural meadows in the year 2001.Weeds, in a wider sense, are plants not directly involved in growing, although their nutritional values make them important costituents of feed. Meadows are enriched by their relatively high microelement content.On the sampling sites, the ratio deviated from the ideal 2/3 parts monocotyledon and 1/3 part dicotyledon, but this did not mean a Mn deficiency as it would have been assumed.

This study, which is inspired by Cognitive Poetics, aims to test the feasibility of its basic methods on the analysis of Milan Kundera’s novel Life Is Elsewhere (1973). Kundera’s style seems at first plain, but greater importance was given to his philosophical and psychological treatment of subjects than the narratological world that he creates. He brilliantly mixes many narrative techniques to expose his existential and aesthetic ideals. The aesthetic value of the novel studied under the cognitive stylistic approach in this study sought answers to the following question. How can Life Is Elsewhere (1973) be read from a cognitive linguistic perspective? The findings confirmed the relevance of the cognitive poetic approach to the narrow reading of Milan Kundera’s works. Life Is Elsewhere (1973) is a merit of narrative control in that the author allows the reader to live the life story of a young poet, to appreciate his ups and downs, at the same time, read his philosophical ideas about life and his artistic control of the novel. Though a cognitively inspired approach might seem odd at the thematic level, for a purely hermeneutic researcher, the level at which both author and reader would exchange meaning from the text is catered for in the rich textual world of the novel. The latter sustains the universality of the works and confirms the suitability of the cognitive poetic framework to any piece of literature.

We apply gender theory to understand the life of Thuy Kieu at the brothel of Tu Ba in relation to her entire life. We focus on analyzing memories, reflections, and pure love predictions in contrast to the days of exile at Tu Ba's brothel. We identify the levels of spiritual life, emotions, and sexual behaviors in relation to real situations, emotions, psychology, and human values. Expanding our comments, we discuss some opinions of Nguyen Bach Khoa, Ho Dac Duy, and Phan Que in explaining instinctive characteristics, humanity, and social conventions. The reality of action and the ability to self-sense about sexual acts shows the personality, bravery, and cultural depth as well as the rich spiritual world of Thuy Kieu. The article investigates, verifies the reality and the ideal, identifies the multi-personality characteristics of Thuy Kieu from the measure of instinct and individual human qualities, and contributes to affirm the creative talent of the great poet, Nguyen Du.

Chapter 6 consists of a full translation of the condensed edition of Shardza’s life-story. The translation offers the reader an extended look into the rich body of material constituting one of the most popular and widely circulated Bönpo examples of this important Tibetan genre. It combines evocative poetry with prose accounts of key thematic features that constitute a saintly life in the Bön religion in the early twentieth century. In the process, the text covers a breadth of territory, exploring careful accountings of religious qualifications, voicing aspirational prayers, offering authorial asides on the attributes of a saint, and conveying intimate moments in the life of this Bönpo luminary. It is preceded by a brief history of its author.

Because strange quark produced copiously in pp collisions, strange hyperon production is one of the ideal tools to investigate the hadronization process and baryon transport theory. We are especially interested in the hyperon Ω production because this baryon contents only strange quark. Our new studies of the pure strange hyperon Ω produced in pp collision at s = 8 TeV are shown in this report. The following strategy is used to reconstruct the strange hyperon Ω. In the LHCb experiment, the hadrons p, π and K are identified by the RICH detector with PT threshold > 100 MeV. Only Lambda (from channel Λ → p + π) with PT > 500 MeV are chosen to combine with kaon daughter particle in order to reconstruct a strange hyperon Ω. The reconstructed particles are accepted as Ω candidates in the case it satisfies several criteria such as its invariance mass must be located within the window mas ± 50 MeV/c2 around the nominal value. More than 63 millions selected events are used for this analysis and about 8100 hyperon Ω candidates are reconstructed.

This research looks at the hypothetical state of no governments and no external trade, the autarky situation as well as the ideal utopian democratic state juxtaposed as Utopia versus Dystopia. This essay is motivated by the current world situation of global internet connectivity which transcends borders and defies government regulation. The essay focuses on examining what opportunities would be presented in a situation of no government and also what challenges and threats would exist in such an instance bordering on Dystopia. The paper comprises findings that have been drawn from analyzing the different opinions, facts and findings from researchers on the topic of public policy. It fundamentally addresses the question from an assumption that there were no governments and concludes by drawing on the importance of public policy and why this is essential in order to avoid anarchy that arises as a result of not having laws and regulations to control the behaviors of societies and individuals in those Hobbesian societies. The findings in the paper are that a state of no government presents itself as a state of confusion and that it descends into the extreme form of a totally unregulated free market capitalist approach for communities and societies. This, in the end, results in lawlessness that to an extent permits the emergence of anarchist states where the rich take advantage of their power and become more powerful than societies or states as exemplified by the MNCs. The purpose of government is to provide essential services and ensure that the rights of individuals are protected. Without the regulatory and protective umbrella of government, the concept of protection and extending the benefits of external trade become the preserve of rich individuals who may brutally exploit and assault the poor to the point of enslavement and exploitation.

One of the major problems that the developing countries face is the lack of state revenues to cover all required expenses. Zakat is completely different from taxes, because it is a direct solution for poor people because it goes with the same type of property from the rich to the poor (not like the most of the poverty reduction programms which go in shape of projects for the poor), also Zakat has its own fixed resources and fixed legal channels of spending. Zakat is considered a form of charity that must be paid from a person`s wealth (when his/her wealth exceeds or reaches a “specific amount” of money (or othertypes of wealth like gold) So when the wealth reaches this level or (the specific amount ) the person who owns this wealth should pay a specific amount for the poor and this amount goes to the poor named Zakat. At the time of prophet Mohamed, he was sending the officials to collect money of Zakat, as it was mentioned for example , when he sent Muaaz Ibnu Jabal to govern Yemen, he ordered him to collect money of Zakat. Also in the time of the second gonernant in Islam (Khalifah). At the time of the third Khalifah Umar, where the state was expanded, Umar still interes ed in collecting Zakat but with a new way in terms of two perspectives, first collecting it from both outward and inward money, second by establishing “a Zakat organization” to be the ideal solution in dealing with Zakat. At the time of umar the revenues of Zakat became a huge amount, until Umar decided to give a salary for The periods after that the governants were not interested so much to collect Zakat by themselves and from the outward and inward money, because total toll became very huge so they decided to leave this mater up to the eligible Muslims to pay their Zakat, but in the later on periods of time the Muslims became less aware by the religious practises so the total toll of Zakat became less than periods of the prophet and Khalifah and not sufficient to satisfy the basic needs of the poor in the Muslim countries. To conclude from that, the best total yield of Zakat was happened when it was collected and distributed through an organization with a great attention from the leader of the state, so this paper will be describe about zakat persepective Hadis Maudu’ in the first time of Islam.
