The article is devoted to the analysis of the cinema as a historical cultural phenomenon. The author considers the peculiarities of the historical period of the 1950-1970s which are noted by a short-term development of democratic tendencies in the Soviet society that gave the opportunity to the freer and more successful development of many genres of culture including cinematography. In the Kazakh cinema art the name of the producer Shaken Aimanov who created some author’s films among which “The Land of Fathers” (1966) occupies a peculiar place is well established. On the basis of scientific approaches there are revealed the main methods of Sh.Aimanov’s directing which allowed him alongside the original dramaturgy to use modern innovations of the visual pictorial type and which allowed achieving vivid expressiveness and more credibility of the author’s conception about the past and the present. “The Land of Fathers” remains one of the bright factors of the cultural memory created by the Kazakh producer by means of the cinema language.

Creative Understanding

In modern cultural studies, there is an increased interest in biography as a phenomenon associated with cultural memory. Subjective experience, the eff ect of getting used to someone else’s life allows the viewer to feel the personality of another, not like him as a valuable cultural experience. Lenina Nikitina is a Leningrad artist,a Petersburg artist whose work, unfortunately, is familiar to a small circle of viewers. The talent of the author was able to turn the events of his personal life into a cultural, artistic event. The works of Lenina Nikitina are relevant for the modern audience as a vivid example of the development of the ideas of fi gurative expressionism and asan example of visualizing the cultural memory of an entire era through a creative understanding of the events of her life and as documentary evidence of events of the history of the twentieth century, including the Siege of Leningrad. The artist’s talent launches the mechanism of bodily assimilation into what is happening, empathy givesthe image credibility, makes it immerse into it as what is happening here-and-now. In this case, the painting is more documentary than, for example, photography or video. The aff ectiveness of experience becomes not only a way of bodily comprehension, sensation of the past, but it can become an experience infl uencing here-and-now, personal cultural experience. Cultural memory in such a context can be seen as an interweaving of clumps of individual stories and experiences, not all of which correspond to the usual appearance of the historical period or the image of the event in the media, aff ecting our being here and now.

Good And Evil

The article is devoted to the observation of the cultural phenomenon of nostalgia, its social, psychological, ethical and general philosophical aspects. It is shown that nostalgia is based on value-laden memory that helps us differ pleasant and unpleasant, useful and useless, meaningful and meaningless. This value-laden memory has its ethical dimension that deals with moral tradition, our concepts of good and evil, justice and injustice, sense of life and sense of death. We may say that ethical memory is a part of a larger “cultural memory” that enables every kind of social and individual identity. Due to nostalgia the generation`s continuity is established. In the act of nostalgia a person recalls the past but also rebels against actual state of presence. It is affirmed that our time-arrangement of “bad presence” and “good past” is possible because of ontological time regress. Nostalgizing for the past, a man is trying not only to mythologize the latter, but to resurrect it symbolically. Nostalgia’s faith in revival contains a hope for annihilation of time and triumph of eternity. We may call it an archetypical need, a manifestation of ancient mythological and religious motive of death and resurrection. Longing for past accompanies mankind dur- ing all its history and especially rises in the postmodern culture – in forms of metaphysical, political and aesthetical nostalgias. Metaphysical nostalgia is the lust for Logos, (God, meaning, truth, the good and the beauty) in the post-nihilistic absurd world, where god is claimed to be dead, and all supreme values are seemed to be devalued. It is also longing for the sacred reality, the being, that postmodern culture is lacked. Political nostalgia is the lust for the real power, subconscious desire for its increasing, expanding, absolutization. Aesthetical nostalgia is the sadness for the art as symbolic hierarchical structure with definite cultural and historical code as today we observe fakes and simulations, chaos and “metastases of cultural codes” (J. Baudrillard).

Abstract Obesity and increased body adiposity have been alarmingly increasing over the past decades and have been linked to a rise in food intake. Many dietary restrictive approaches aiming at reducing weight have resulted in contradictory results. Additionally, some policies to reduce sugar or fat intake were not able to decrease the surge of obesity. This suggests that food intake is controlled by a physiological mechanism and that any behavioural change only leads to a short-term success. Several hypotheses have been postulated, and many of them have been rejected due to some limitations and exceptions. The present review aims at presenting a new theory behind the regulation of energy intake, therefore providing an eye-opening field for energy balance and a potential strategy for obesity management.

Multiple Media

With the advent of online distribution and the rise of multiple media devices, claims of the cinema’s imminent death have surfaced with greater intensity than ever before. Of course, with an ever-widening array of platforms these accounts have placed a newfound emphasis on the cinema as a distinctive physical space, one that plays host to a very particular and much cherished cultural activity. This article considers the substance of these claims by tracing a very particular historical route. Firstly, be revisiting Baudry’s notion of the dispositif, this article detects the importance of the physical environment in the process of film consumption. Secondly, I relate this emphasis on the physical to the traditional notion of the cinephile, a practice that ritualises the cinema experience. Many accounts across the spectrum of film history will attest to the profound ways in which the physical experience of the cinema summons a rich emotional response. Lastly, I consider how the cinema and the collective nature of film consumption provides an authentic trace to the past and a very certain time and place in history. In turn, despite competition from cheaper and more convenient platforms, this article will endeavour to show how the cinema retains its place at the centre of contemporary film culture.

FIIs are companies registered outside India. In the past four years there has been more than $41 trillion worth of FII funds invested in India. This has been one of the major reasons on the bull market witnessing unprecedented growth with the BSE Sensex rising 221% in absolute terms in this span. The present downfall of the market too is influenced as these FIIs are taking out some of their invested money. Though there is a lot of value in this market and fundamentally there is a lot of upside in it. For long-term value investors, there’s little because for worry but short term traders are adversely getting affected by the role of FIIs are playing at the present. Investors should not panic and should remain invested in sectors where underlying earnings growth has little to do with financial markets or global economy.

What have you heard or read over the past 10 years that has improved you ability to assess and manage suicide risk in your patients?There has been a paucity of data. What little data there is reviewed in this month's articles.They highlight findings that you should know about. Clinicians seem to cling to the familiar, unless some intense marketing is done.For instance, are you aware that the current evidence shows that a denial of suicide thoughts, plans, or intent—even a contract for safety—means absolutely nothing in the absence of a full suicide risk assessment?Yet clinicians seem to rely on these ’reassurances“ from their patients and are shocked when the patient later commits suicide. Why should a patient who is deciding that life is too painful to live tell you the truth? Robert I. Simon, MD, and Daniel W. Shuman, JD, review these facts.Are you aware that severe psychic anxiety, panic attacks, agitation, and severe insomnia often precede suicide within hours, days, or weeks and can be rapidly modified with treatment?On the other hand, standard risk factors for suicide such as suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and past suicidal attempts are not good predictors of suicide in the short term. A suicide plan, recent high intent attempt, or refusal to contract for safety may well indicate immediate risk, but a denial of suicidal ideation or intent and a contract for no harm mean absolutely nothing without a full suicide assessment that takes current clinical status, past suicidal tendencies, social support, and willingness to accept help into account.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe how the time spent in food-related activities by Americans has changed over the past 30 years.DesignData from four national time diary surveys, spanning 1975–2006, are used to construct estimates of trends in American adults’ time spent in food-related activities. Multivariate Tobits assess how food-related activities have changed over time controlling for sociodemographic and economic covariates.ResultsBoth bivariate and multivariate estimates reveal that between 1975 and 2006, American women’s time spent in food preparation declined substantially, whereas the time spent in these activities by American men changed very little. On the contrary, grocery shopping time increased modestly for both men and women. The primary eating time (i.e. time when eating/drinking was the respondent’s main focus) declined for both men and women over this historical period, and the composition of this time changed with less primary eating time being done alone. Concurrently, secondary eating time (i.e. time when something else had the respondent’s primary attention, but eating/drinking simultaneously occurred) rose precipitously for both women and men between 1975 and 1998.ConclusionsThe total time spent in eating (i.e. primary plus secondary eating time) has increased over the past 30 years, and the composition of this time has shifted from situations in which energy intake can be easily monitored to those in which energy intake may be more difficult to gauge. Less time is also being spent in food preparation and clean-up activities. Future research should explore possible links between these trends and Americans’ growing obesity risk.

Aim: To examine the hypothesis that circular labour migrants who become seriously ill while living away from home return to their rural homes to convalesce and possibly to die. Methods: Drawing on longitudinal data collected by the Agincourt health and demographic surveillance system in rural northeastern South Africa between 1995 and 2004, discrete time event history analysis is used to estimate the likelihood of dying for residents, short-term returning migrants, and long-term returning migrants controlling for sex, age, and historical period. Results: The annual odds of dying for short-term returning migrants are generally 1.1 to 1.9 times (depending on period, sex, and age) higher than those of residents and long-term returning migrants, and these differences are generally highly statistically significant. Further supporting the hypothesis is the fact that the proportion of HIV/TB deaths among short-term returning migrants increases dramatically as time progresses, and short-term returning migrants account for an increasing proportion of all HIV/TB deaths. Conclusions: This evidence strongly suggests that increasing numbers of circular labour migrants of prime working age are becoming ill in the urban areas where they work and coming home to be cared for and eventually to die in the rural areas where their families live. This shifts the burden of caring for them in their terminal illness to their families and the rural healthcare system with significant consequences for the distribution and allocation of health care resources.

Chinese View

After nearly two decades of revolutionary rule in China, the break with the past which Communist direction has seemed to represent is increasingly being seen in a wider perspective. Few scholars would attempt to argue that the Communists have not brought a genuine revolution or that their ascendancy is merely the equivalent of a new dynasty. But as the character of the new order has become clearer with time and as an analysis both more detailed and less concerned with short-term matters has become possible, many scholars have been as much impressed by continuities with the pre-Communist past as by discontinuities. To take perhaps the clearest example, the current Chinese view of their relation to the rest of the world appears to represent little change from the traditional Sinocentric image. Ideological absolutism is also not new to China with Mao Tse-tung, nor is the conception of individual subsevience to public good, the unquestioned rightness of close social limits on individual actions. And contemporary China retains, for all its professed egalitarianism, a strongly elitist and hierarchial pattern.
