When humans experience various difficulties in life, including illness, then they will try to find a cure for the disease, through medical treatment, then traditional treatment after being unsuccessful with medical treatment. But there are also those who directly use traditional medicine in accordance with local beliefs. This article explores beliefs and cultural practices of tau taa wana in the treatment of diseases through momago, a traditional ritual healing practiced in Uempanapa Village. This study was conducted in Uempanapa Village, Bungku Utara Subdistrict, North Morowali District, considering that tau ta'a wana (ta'a wana people) in this village still practices momago (a healing ritual) which is commonly held once a year. Using qualitative approach, data was collected using in-depth interview and observation techniques. Eleven participants involved in this study, they are varied on the basis of sex (eight men, and three women), age (between 42 and 72 years), and position [three shamans (dukun), a drum beat (to paganda), a gong drummer (to myingko gong), a dancer (to motaro), patient (to ongoyo), and three patients’ family (to mongoyo). Momago is a traditional healing ritual using supernatural power mediated by shamans (walia). This healing ritual is based on a belief in supernatural beings that are considered to play role in causing various diseases. Momago is practiced by tau taa wana and this is not only practiced when there are calls from residents to treat their sick relatives, but they are also often performed at large events such as the reception of important guests, cultural arts festivals, and so forth. They believe that patients will recover after ancestral spirits entering one’s body. In this healing ritual, tau taa wana is carried out by utilizing supernatural power, through which walia repeatedly calls the spirit. This healing ritual is usually carried out at night and takes up to three weeks, depending on the type of disease and the number of patients. The types of diseases that are cured through momago include witchcraft (fofongontau/doti), trance (pasuak), rebuke (katrapes), crazy (fando) and drowning (mlondong), kinds of illnesses which believed to be personalistic diseases. It is also believed that the success of a ritual is marked by the number of momago participants who have possessed spirits, the more they are, the more successful the treatment has been. Although not all diseases can be cured through momago, and not all sick people treated through momago can recover from their illness, momago is still practiced because it has become a hereditary tradition from their ancestors and/or because of the requests from patients’ family.

The management consisted of topical application of 0.05% betamethasone Ointment for 4 weeks. Those with partial response were advised additional 2 weeks of therapy. Failure to treatment cases were subsequently subjected to circumcision.Results: Total 100 patients were enrolled in the study.

With contemporary consumer sampling diverse fragmented artefacts, mediating authenticity to such multifaceted and paradoxical identity is a growing challenge for the market. Focusing on Bengali-Themed Restaurants (BTRs), an exploratory study attempts to elicit the different versions in which cultural authenticity is crafted and refined by the market to cater the fluidity in modern identity. Based on purposive sampling, fifteen Bengali themed restaurants were shortlisted in the Indian metropolitan city Kolkata where occasion based visits were made across a period of two years (2012-14). A combination of participant observation and in-depth interview was employed in the study. The study gave rise to the concept of ‘market mediated authenticity' which describes the role market is able to influence objective or pseudo forms of authenticity. The study identified the emergence of BTRs with conservative consumption context by endorsing core traditional values and freezing the employed cultural practices; staged culture as a socially constructed and negotiable phenomenon by loading local culinary with new representations of time and place and existential authenticity depicting an extensive commercialized foothold in defining culinary culture. Market plays an intervening role in characterizing authenticity and procreating its multiple forms. Authenticity can be interpreted in terms of the market negotiation between multiple global and local cultural forces.

Archives of Latvian Folklore (LFK) have possession of materials on traditional medicine from the second half of the 19th century to nowadays, more than 78646 folklore units in total. The traditional treatment or traditional medicine as a genre covers descriptions of diseases and their treatments, explanations of the causes of the illnesses, and data on remedies (plants, substances, physical items, techniques) and their application. Materials on traditional medicine differ in terms of the form of expression and the content, mostly depending on the personality of the informant or the recorder as well as the time of the recording. The greatest amount of the materials are located in the collections performed by schools in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century. Most often, these collections compile information on medical plants, less commonly – on the use of objects, substances, and products of animal origin in medical treatment. LFK individual archives and the Collection of Spells and Incantations [150] contain materials the richest in diversity. Materials on traditional medicine in these archives are structured differently, though they disclose wide context and ties to other genres within folklore. Recipes for humans, as well as animals, combine different substances and drugs available in pharmacies. Materials on traditional medicine recorded in Archives of Latvian Folklore do not reflect traditional Latvian word of mouth inherited knowledge only, there are impacts caused by earlier written sources, including translations from German. The research of the first periodical published in Latvian, “Latvian Doctor” (Latviešu Ārste), shows that there are similarities with the earliest LFK materials in the style of expression, recipes mentioned, and units of measurement used. However, there are no direct rewrites from the “Latviešu Ārste” advice in the later materials of traditional medicine.
