This article presents materials on the role of the rice weevil (lat. Sitophilus oryzae) in the process of transmission of Mycobacterium of tuberculosis. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the rapid spread of tuberculosis around the world and the need to develop more advanced methods for diagnosing this disease, which, for its part, is impossible without expanding knowledge on all possible reservoirs of the causative agent of infection. Long-term research around the world has proven that insects are carriers of various microflora, including pathogenic ones. Therefore the purpose of study was to establish the epizootological role of the rice weevil as a reservoir for Mycobacterium bovis in the process of occurrence and spread of tuberculosis. The study determined the duration of transfer and isolation of Mycobacterium of tuberculosis in the external environment by infected beetles. The museum dissociative strain of Mycobacterium bovis (118 passage) was used for the study, the subject of the study was rice weevils. For the furtherance of this goal, the culture, microscopic, and statistical studies were conducted, and the viability of mycobacteria was determined after passages through the beetle body by evaluating colony-forming units. The epizootological role of the rice weevil in the development and spread of tuberculosis has been established. It is proved that the beetle can keep mycobacteria in its body for 50 days with a gradual decrease in their number and is then able to secrete the pathogen for another 30 days, contaminating environmental objects. When evaluating colony-forming units of mycobacteria in the dynamics of the experiment, a decrease in their viability after persistence through the body of beetles was revealed from 5.3*108 in 1 g of the original crop up to 1.4*108 in 1 g of crop that grew from beetle homogenisate for 30 days. These study results will allow developing and improving existing measures for the prevention of tuberculosis and prevent the introduction of this infection into safe territory

The dramatic text defines, to some extent, the structure of the work but the type of performance and the physical approach to the text can represent different meanings. The body of the actor, as a means of conveying concepts from the text to the audience, can be effective in creating different interpretations and meanings of the text. Since eons ago, directors have used the body of the actor with different approaches, and the application of body on the stage has always been underdoing changes. Anne Bogart is one of the few directors who is less known in the Iranian theater despite possessing the most updated and well-known methods of practice and performance in the world. Using her viewpoint method, she brings live and dynamic bodies to the stage; bodies that are able to convey the hidden meanings of the text to the audience in the most suitable way. The overall purpose of this research is to find the relationship between the dramatic text and the performance with the centrality of the body with a sociological view toward the body. To this end, by presenting Foucault's theories, the researchers defines the role of the body in the society and its extent of effectivity and impressibility. Finally, this study explores the implications of this role in each element of Aeschylus’s The Persians, and it shall show how Bogart beautifully represents them using the bodies of her actors during performance.

The World-Relatedness of Affectivity: Heidegger and Richir

" My investigation reveals that Heidegger’s account of affectivity – though his programmatical determination included an ontical dimension or otherwise lived, personal experiences – is overshadowed by a dense ontology that cannot enable real phenomenal experience. This is why he could not account for other affective states such as emotions, feel-ings and the role of the body in affectivity. Besides, in that account we are lost when we seek to answer the question of whether moods are “one” or “many”. My aim is to point out how these deficiencies in Heidegger’s account of mood could be overcome in Richir’s account of affectivity, where indeterminate background feelings (affections) could give rise to a deter-minate and occurent emotion (affects). The advantage of this move is a rich ontic account of affectivity where not only the body but also sense/meaning of affective episodes play a robust role in an encounter of world events. If Richir reproached Heidegger for existential solipsism, one could now reproach the former for existentiell/phenomenal solipsism. In the end I suggest that these two core but opposite aspects of affectivity (the ontological and the ontic) belong to the same reality: Dasein is not just in the world (ontology), but also the world is in Dasein (ontic/phenomenological). Keywords: mood, affection, affect, Heidegger’s ontology, Richir’s Leib and sense. "

Abstract In The Meaning of the Body, philosopher Mark Johnson makes a case for the significance of movement in terms of the body processes he holds as essential to the generation of meaning and knowledge acquisition in physical interaction with the world–equally essential as language and cognition. The article employs this theory in interpreting the experiences of women learning flamenco dance in Spain. The investigation of the perceptions of women studying flamenco dance, a dance tradition often defined as “gypsy,” indicates that exposure to flamenco dance and culture leads to revision of stereotypes regarding embodiment and difference, but respondents did not relate this revision to bodily engagement, or physical processes particular to dancing flamenco. Although Johnson’s failure to properly account for the role of the unconscious proved to be a serious shortcoming in the theory, and one which had implications for the findings, application of the theory disclosed the parameters of a discourse on the body in flamenco. The theory thus represents a radical gesture in redefining embodiment in its own right in a manner that precludes dualism with the consequent opening of a range of alternative perspectives on the articulation of embodied knowledge.

This chapter explores the role of music in Nancy’s broader sensuous philosophy, focusing largely on À l’écoute as well as his (rarely considered) writings on rock and techno, highlighting the divergent ways in which different genres are approached – Western high art music is often assumed to tell us something about music’s (timeless, universal) essence, whilst popular genres such as rock and techno are more expressly linked to particular social and historical contexts. In À l’écoute, Nancy utilises music to explore the sensuous (and non-visual) domain that philosophy has traditionally ignored or paid scant attention to in order to consider other ways in which we might ‘know’, find or make meaning in the world, and in so doing aims to destabilise binary oppositions that emerge in vision-oriented (phallogocentric) thought. The concluding analysis, however, contends that Nancy’s analysis still depends on a set of hierarchized binary oppositions, with vision and language linked to paternal law and the symbolic, and music and sound linked to the body and emotions, and an earlier pre-symbolic space (that is then mapped onto the maternal-feminine).

The character of the church - a perspective on current theological thought The role of the church in society is currently much focused upon in theological thought. The author analyses various characteristics of the church with reference to views of well known theologians. As community of faith it is the body of Christ revealed very visibly in the world representing the kingdom of God. For that very reason the idea of a national church is unacceptable. The church is one, catholic and apostolic community, even particularly in its visible form. Though Scripture gives no clear guidelines on the structure of the church, there are many general biblical norms to be considered in ecclesiastical law and government.

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a great toll on many families. From its rapid spread to debilitating outcomes, the virus has wreaked havoc on healthcare systems around the world. As researchers study this novel virus, the public continues to seek more information on who is the most susceptible and which population will be affected by the more severe manifestations of the disease. As a result, scientists have started analyzing the variable effects of COVID-19 infection in different age groups. While the information is still nascent, these studies demonstrate that no one is immune, that all are susceptible to infection by this virus, and that certain demographics of the general population have more severe disease than others. This literature review examines how COVID-19 has affected different age groups, from neonates to older adults, by exploring statistics, mechanisms, and possible risk factors. This article will also investigate the role of comorbidities in increasing the severity of this viral infection. Key words: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus, age, neonates, pregnancy, older adults, mechanism, comorbidities, angiotensin converting enzyme 2
