Because the significance of a sacred text comes not only from its content but also its format and materiality, the rise of digital formats is especially a concern for the Jewish community, the ‘people of the book’ (Am ha-Sefer) whose identity is rooted in the Torah. Drawing together scholarship on the history of the book in its changing formats and an illuminative case study of the Jewish Torah in its digital iterations, the Jewish case presented here is instructive but certainly not unique. Despite dramatic changes in reading technology throughout history, readers have time and again used a new technology to perform the same functions as that of the old, only more quickly, with more efficiency, or in greater quantity. While taking advantage of the innovation and novelty which characterize digital formats, a concerted effort to retain much older operations and appearances continues to be made in this transition as well. The analysis in this article aims to further dispel the misguided notion of technological supersession, the idea that new reading technologies ‘kill’ older formats in a straightforward model of elimination.

The introduction of Western medicine in Nepal took place during Jung Bahadur’s time as Prime Minister and was slowly disseminated during the tenure of subsequent Rana Prime Ministers Bir, Chandra, Bhim and Joodha. The provision of healthcare in the country was taken as a form of charity provided to the people by the rulers. Whilst the first two government hospitals were started at Kathmandu and Birgunj, others followed as would be rulers were banished to places such as Dhankuta, Tansen or Doti. It was only after the dawn of democracy in 1950 that the Department of Health Services was established. During the past 67 years more hospitals and academic centres for teaching health sciences have come up in different parts of Nepal. Strides have made in the delivery of health care and health sciences education. Much more needs still to be done.Journal of Kathmandu Medical College, Vol. 6, No. 4, Issue 22, Oct.-Dec., 2017, Page: 161-166

AbstractThe bust of Jacobus Zaffius (figs. 1 and 2) in Haarlem's Frans Hals Museum was discovered in 1919. Since that time it has been regarded as a fragment of a large portrait of Zaffius painted by Hals in 1611 and believed to be lost. Jan van de Velde made a print of the missing portrait in 1630 (fig. 3). Recently it emerged that the panel on which the bust is painted is bevelled all round, and that the ground and paint continue over the edges. This means that it cannot be a fragment. The theory that Hals himself painted the copy is untenable. The weak design and indifferent pictorial quality suggest that the painting is a contemporary anonymous copy. An attempt to identify the companion portraits of a man and a woman in Birmingham and Chatsworth (figs. 4 and 5), variously dated as 1610/11 and 1617/18, with a view to establishing their true dates, has failed. It was hoped that if discovered to have been painted in or around 1611, they might have served as material for a stylistic comparison. The investigation yielded only a few supplementary heraldic (fig. 6) and genealogical data. Research in the Haarlem municipal archives uncovered new information pertaining to Zaffius' financial capital and family connections. As archdeacon of the diocese of Haarlem and provost of the Haarlem chapter, Jacobus Hendriksz. Zaffius (Amsterdam 1534-1618 Haarlem) experienced the turbulent history of the Dutch Catholic church during the birth of the Republic. Towards the end of his life he added a few houses to a recently founded bofje of almshouses (fig. 9). Van de Velde's print was made in 1630, when Catholicism had established itself in the Dutch archdiocese and embarked on the documentation of its own history in the form of, among others, portraits of prominent figures of the past.

In the light of what was now known, the only change that might have been made in the programme would have been the elimination of the animal flight; actually, systems for manned flight were ready to “go” at that time. The lecturer considered that the ballistic part of the programme would still have been needed to get the people ready for this sort of thing as well as for checking the systems control and for developing the recovery technique. The sea landing approach was chosen because it was a simpler system to develop within the brief time schedule available and would provide the lowest impact loads on the pilot and spacecraft alike.

В настоящей статье представлен опыт организации и проведения фольклорно-диалектологической практики студентов-филологов Чувашского государственного педагогического университета им. И. Я. Яковлева. Актуальность исследования, обусловленного совершенствованием качества подготовки конкурентоспособного учителя-словесника, возрастает в связи с потребностью современной школы в квалифицированных педагогах. Обращение к деятельности собирателя устного народного творчества и говоров поможет студенту как понять многовековую историю народа, так и осмыслить важность труда собирательства. Целями фольклорно-диалектологической практики являются углубление и закрепление материалов теоретических курсов «Устное народное творчество» и «Русская диалектология», овладение методиками и приобретение навыков собирания, систематизации, архивирования фольклорного и диалектного материала. В процессе прохождения данной практики студенты приобретают практические навыки записи, классификации и систематизации полевого материала на основе изучения региональной традиции; пополняют фольклорный и диалектологический архив, овладевают навыками архивной деятельности с использованием новых информационных технологий, при этом приобщаются к самостоятельной научно-исследовательской деятельности. В работе уделяется внимание истории и географии фольклорно-диалектологической практики, способам ее проведения и достигнутым результатам, позволяющим развивать научно-исследовательский потенциал студентов. This article presents the experience of implementation of folklore and dialectological practice of philology students of I. Yakovlev Chuvash State Pedagogical University. The relevance of the study, which is conditioned by the improvement of the quality of training of a competitive language and literature teacher, increases due to the need of a modern school for qualified teachers. Collecting of oral folk art and dialects will help the student to understand the centuries-old history of the people, and to understand the importance of collecting work. The goals of folklore and dialectology practice are to deepen and consolidate the materials of the theoretical courses «Oral Folk Art» and «Russian Dialectology», to master the techniques and acquire the skills of collecting, systematizing, and archiving folklore and dialect material. In the course of this practice, students acquire practical skills of recording, classifying and systematizing field material based on the study of regional traditions; they fill up the folklore and dialectological archive, master the skills of archival activity using new information technologies, and become involved in independent research activities. The paper focuses on the history and geography of folklore and dialectological practice, the methods of its implementation and the results achieved, which contribute to the development of the research potential of students.

Recently there are several budding medical journals which are coming from developing countries and also there is a large number of publishers. It will foster medical research from these countries. Authors will improve the skill of medical writing because of these journals senior, experienced international/ national editorial and review board. Also this team is responsible for the quality of the journal. Journals primary aim should not be making money and get other benefit to the people who are dealing with it. Journals should produce evidence based new information to the medical science which will benefit to the new generation physicians, scientists and readers.  There is a tremendous increase in the medical research articles in the recent years because most of the institutions, universities and funding agencies consider the publication history of the scientists for their promotion and incentive. It results with good practice and bad practice of research. There are several scientists and teaching faculty members who publish the articles without proper data or they plagiarise other scientist work.  It can be stopped only by the national medical research authorities like Indian Council of Medical Research [India], Nepal Health Research Council [Nepal], etc. for each country level and the Institutional Research and Ethics Committee in  the institutional level. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nje.v4i3.10661Nepal Journal of Epidemiology 2014; 4(3):348-50

SynopsisThe spider fauna of Shetland is described on the basis of collections made in 1974–75 and earlier published and unpublished data. The number of species recorded is increased from 35 to 90. Work on Ronas Hill and elsewhere has shown that Shetland has a substantial array of montane spiders, many of them occurring at much lower elevations than is normal in mainland Britain: a height of 400 m on Shetland is roughly equivalent—in terms of the spider community—to one of 900 m in the Cairngorms. Shetland appears to lack, however, a number of the arctic-alpine species present at high levels in mainland Scotland and the Faroes. The spider fauna of moorland in Shetland is shown to have closely similar composition to that of a moorland area in the Pennines, although the latter has more species. Other habitats discussed include sand dunes in South Mainland and serpentine heaths in Unst.The new information permits for the first time assessment of the spider fauna of Shetland in its zoogeographic context. Almost all of the species found in Shetland, the Faroes and Iceland are present in both Scotland and Fennoscandia; however, only two-thirds of the Faroes species and less than half of the Iceland species are also found in Shetland.Consideration of the Pleistocene history of the area permits analysis of the origins of the faunas. Some species adapted to arctic conditions may have survived through the last glacial episode in Iceland, where there were ice-free areas, but such survival is most unlikely for the Faroes and Shetland: for Orkney the picture is unclear. There was no subsequent overland immigration to Iceland or the Faroes and little or none to Shetland, but Orkney may have received rather more of its species in this way. The rapid postglacial rise in sea level ensured that the bulk of the species in all these faunas had to colonise over water. Some species were transported by man and a few may have travelled on natural rafts, but the majority seem to have immigrated by ballooning.Orkney probably received all its colonists from mainland Scotland and Shetland could also have done so. Immigration from Fennoscandia, however, was undoubtedly important in the case of Iceland, significant in the Faroes and possibly also contributed to the Shetland fauna. Only Iceland can be shown to have received species from Greenland.In an Appendix the spider species recorded from Orkney, Shetland, the Faroes and Iceland are tabulated and the occurrence of these species on the Scottish mainland and in Fennoscandia and Greenland is indicated.

Nowadays, expansion in the technological achievements domain is increasingly faster and big changes have been made in people's interconnectedness and communication with the introduction of the Internet in our everyday lives. People started connecting online. Online communities have emerged as a network of the people gathered around the same interests, no matter whether such interests are private or business interests, through specific online media, thus creating a vast platform for the exchange of information, experiences and knowledge that transcends all geographical, social and temporal barriers. As a new information exchange platform, online communities also represent a new channel through which companies promote their business and their products, and provide new points of contact with their customers, who have increasingly greater power, the availability of and access to information. Marketing aimed at online consumer communities is analyzed in the paper on the example of Zara.

Central Africa remained botanically unknown to the outside world up to the end of the eighteenth century. This paper provides a historical account of plant explorations in the Luangwa Valley. The first plant specimens were collected in 1897 and the last serious botanical explorations were made in 1993. During this period there have been 58 plant collectors in the Luangwa Valley with peak activity recorded in the 1960s. In 1989 1,348 species of vascular plants were described in the Luangwa Valley. More botanical collecting is needed with a view to finding new plant taxa, and also to provide a satisfactory basis for applied disciplines such as ecology, phytogeography, conservation and environmental impact assessment.
