Definite Role

Ayurveda has described three basic physiological constituents of the human body, viz., Dosha, Dhatu and Mala. In Ayurvedic Science, the one who has balanced Doshas, balanced Agni, properly formed Dhatus, proper elimina- tion of Malas, well-functioning of bodily processes and whose mind, soul, senses are full of bliss is called a healthy person1. So, the formation of Dhatu is also a good indicator of good health there are seven Dhatus ex- plained in Samhitas, those are Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Ashti, Majja and Shukra among all Dhatus, Shukra is considered as the sara of all other Dhatus2. Shukra Dhatu is one of the seven Dhatus in the body and Shukra is white, pure, excellent Dhatu, which is considered as best among all seven Dhatus. According to many Acharyas of Ayurveda, Garbhotpadana (reproduction) is the chief function of Shukra Dhatu, and the important fact is Shukra Dhatu also shows its effect all over the body in the form of Shukradhatusarata because Shukradhatuis located in the entire body. Sperm along with spermatic fluid and male sex hormones are also one part of Shukra Dhatu. Anu Shukra Dhatu (primordial germ cell) is essential for the Shukra Dhatu (Testosterone, Estrogen). Vi- tiation of Shukra dhatu shows Shukra dhatudusti (pathology) in the form of Vriddhi (hyper state) or Kshaya (wan- ing). This vitiation may lead to main infertility and many other physical as well as psychological disorders. All Dhatus have their definite locations in the body; they are present in every cell in subtle form. Every cell possesses the capacity to divide or reproduce itself. Thus, one has to interpret the Garbhotpadana (reproduction) function of Shukra Dhatu. In future, it may be achievable that with the development of the facts; we will discover any content in the cell whichpossesses a definite role in cell division.Sperms along with spermatic fluid and male sex hor- mones are also one Partofshukra, parallel to which females possess Artava. Stri-Shukra excreted during coitus is nothing but the secretions of bartholins, cervical and endometrial glands emergence at theendoforgasm.

AbstractIn the Shuowen, one of the earliest comprehensive character dictionaries of ancient China, when discussing where the Chinese characters derive their structural components, Xu Shen proposed the dual constitutive principle of “adopting proximally from the human body, and distally from things around.” This dual emphasis of “body” and “things around” corresponds largely to the phenomenological issues of body or corporeality on the one hand, and lifeworld on the other. If we borrow Heidegger’s definition of Dasein as Being-in-the world, we can easily arrive at a reformulation of Xu Shen’s constitutive principle of the Chinese script as one that concerns “bodily Dasein.” By looking into various examples of script tokens we can further elaborate on how the Chinese make use not only of the body in general but various body parts, and how they differentiate their life world into material nature, living things, and a multifaceted world of equipment in forming a core basis of Chinese characters/components, upon which further symbolic manipulation such as “indication”, “phonetic borrowing”, semantic combination, and “annotative derivation”, etc. can be based. Finally, examples will be cited to show how in the Chinese scripts the human body (and its parts) might interact with other’s bodies (and their parts) or with “things around” (whether nature, living creatures, or artifacts) in various ways to cover the social, environmental, ritual, technical, economical, and even intellectual aspects of human experience. Bodily Dasein, so to speak, provides us with a new perspective of understanding and appreciating the entire scope of the Chinese script.

Plnctada albina breeds continuously throughout the year, but most actively during April and May when sea temperatures begin to fall. Thus the species resembles the majority of tropical marine invertebrates in the former respect but differs from them in the latter. The heaviest spatfalls occur from June to August when sea temperatures are at a minimum. This species is hermaphrodite, with a, general tendency toward protandry. Both male-female and female-male sex changes, and the bisexual condition which sometimes prevails during change-over, have been observed. Sex change in bivalves is discussed, and it is suggested that the phenomenon can best be explained in terms of a weak hereditary sex-determining mechanism, and germ cell rudiments responsive to the food reserve level in the body such that male differentiation is favoured at lower levels and female differentiation at higher levels.

Ayurveda is the Shastra (science) which places great emphasis on prevention and encourages the mainte-nance of health through close attention to balance one’s life. Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Sadvruta, Ra-sayana, and Vajikarana play an important role to maintain the good health. There are Seven Dhatus pre-sent in the body such as Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja and Shukra. The seven Dhatus are re-sponsible for the sustaining and development of human body. Shukra is the last Dhatu produced in the body among all the Dhatus. A person who has healthy Shukra has a brightness of confidence, with eyes and skin that seen to radiate light Shukra Dhatus also confirms strength, wisdom and power of the body. Specific Aahara and Vihara has been described in text of Ayurveda. Among Vajikarana treatment many of the formulations are told in the form of medicines and in the form of food preparation which helps for preservation of sexual potency of a healthy man as well as treatment of defective semen, disturbed sexual potency. Vajikarana promotes the sexual capacity and physical activities.

The main purpose of this study was to identify the types of water and other drinks used for hydration by those who perform movement activities and also to analyze the quality of these drinks. As a result of performing movement activities, through perspiration, a greater or lesser amount of water is lost from the body. Along with this, a number of nutrients are lost. Given these aspects, the main objective of the research was to understand more correctly, what is involved in proper hydration, which are the factors that must be taken into account to maintain good health. We analyzed and compared the level of the main electrolytes and carbohydrates for different categories of drinks and also measured with the help of two specific devices the level of purity and pH of three categories of drinking water. We indicated general values regarding the ratio of water consumption to weight on the one hand, and on the other hand, we indicated the indicative quantities that should be consumed before, during and after performing medium-level physical effort. As a general conclusion, the importance of sodium, alkaline water and high water purity was highlighted in relation to the categories of beverages analyzed in this study.

ABSTRACTHeight is rarely taken seriously by historians. Demographic and archaeological studies tend to explore height as a symptom of health and nutrition, rather than in its own right, and cultural studies of the human body barely study it at all. Its absence from the history of gender is surprising, given that it has historically been discussed within a highly gendered moral language. This paper therefore explores height through the lens of masculinity and focuses on the eighteenth century, when height took on a peculiar cultural significance in Britain. On the one hand, height could be associated with social status, political power and ‘polite’ refinement. On the other, it could connote ambition, militarism, despotism, foreignness and even castration. The article explores these themes through a case-study of John Montagu, earl of Sandwich, who was famously tall and was frequently caricatured as such. As well as exploring representations of the body, the paper also considers corporeal experiences and biometric realities of male height. It argues that histories of masculinity should study both representations of gender and their physical manifestations.

Equal Contribution

Shukra is studied in Ayurveda both as a dhatu and beeja. As a mammalian human body comprises both somatic and gonadal cells. Somatic cells help for growth and regeneration through mitosis. Meiotic cell division causes equal contribution for the inheritance from maternal and paternal sides. Beejartham (reproduction) is the supreme function attributed to Shukra. Reproduction refers to the formation of new cells for tissue growth, repair/replacement (sukshmavayavantarotpatti), or the production of a new individual (shareerantarotpatti). Regenerative capacity is distributed unequally among species, individuals, and tissues. The affliction of shukrastana by kusthadosha (skin disease) causes a failure in regeneration. The affliction of parents' shukra and artava (gametes) by kusthadosha (skin disease) inherits to the next generation. Vrushan (testis) and medru (penis) are the moola of the shukravahavaha srotus, which is meant to fertilise the ovum (beejarupishukra). Majja (bone marrow) and stana (breasts) are the moola of the shukravaha srotus of the one pervading the entire body (dhaturupishukra).

Bore Loi is a kind of herb known to the people of Bima, and is a heritage from ancient times. Bore Loi is an herb that is made as a ”scrub” which is applied (bore) to the entire body, and let it dry for 16 hours and cleaned the next day with a warm bath. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Bore loi (Spice Body Scrub) on the comfort of the freshness of the body of the Bima community in Bolo Village RT 11 RW 03 Madapangga District Bima, this study used the ”One Group Pretest-Posttest Design” method, the researchers tested the changes occurred after an experiment or an intervention. In this study a Wilcoxon test statistic test with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05 was used. Observation 1 respondent as many as 39 people stated uncomfortable after the bore loi action, the second observation experienced a change in which of the 39 respondents 28 people still felt uncomfortable and 11 people felt comfortable. Then a third observation was taken for 28 respondents and the results obtained where of the 28 respondents who did the re-observation there were 24 people felt comfortable and 4 people still felt uncomfortable, this was due to several factors such as age, and physical activity. Wilcoxon Test statistical test results, where from the test results obtained P value = 0.000 <0.05 with a confidence level of 95%. This means that Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted by the influence of bore loi (LulurRempah).

The skin, which is the largest part  of the human body, is the body's first defense against bacterial and virus attacks. When the skin is exposed to the sun, dry weather, or bacteria, the reaction will spread to other parts of the body, and can even result in death if it is too late to be handled especially if the sufferers are children who are very vulnerable to disease. In this study an expert system was implemented to diagnose skin diseases in infants using the certainty factor method. certainty factor method is very suitable for expert systems that diagnose something that is uncertain. This system makes a diagnosis based on the symptoms felt by the user and then calculates certainty factors based on existing symptoms. Based on the test results by making comparisons between manual calculations and the one carried out by the system it is known that 90.22% of the diagnosis results get the same results so that the system is said to be suitable for use.

The Relationship

The relationship between the built environment and the human body is rarely considered explicitly in contemporary architecture. In case architects do take the body into account, they tend to derive mathematical proportions or functional dimensions from it, without explicit attention for the bodily experience of a building. In this article, we analyse the built environment in a way less common in architecture, by attending to how a particular person experiences it. Instead of relating the human body to architecture in a mathematical way, we establish a new relationship between architecture and the body—or a body—by demonstrating that our bodies are more involved in the experience of the built environment than we presume. The article focuses on persons with a sensory or physical impairment as they are able to detect building qualities architects may not be attuned to. By accompanying them during a visit to a museum building, we examine how their experiences relate to the architect's intentions. In attending to the bodily experiences of these disabled persons, we provide evidence that architecture is not only seen, but experienced by all senses, and that aesthetics may acquire a broader meaning. Senses can be disconnected or reinforced by nature. Sensory experiences can be consciously or unconsciously eliminated or emphasized by the museum design and use. Architects can have specific intentions in mind, but users (with an impairment) may not experience them. Attending to the experiences of disabled persons, and combining these with the architect's objectives, provides an interesting view of a building. Our analysis does not intend to criticize the one using the other; rather the combination of both views, each present in the building, makes for a richer understanding of what architecture is.
