Incidence of Patterns of Bony modification of Neck of the Talus in Indian Population

Objective: The present study is an attempt to determine the various types of bony modifications on the dorsum of the neck of the human tali of both feet due to the continuous habit of squatting in humans and correlating these findings to the existing literature. Materials and Methods: 70 tali of unknown sex, obtained from the Department of Anatomy of MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Bangalore were used for the study. The dorsal surface of talar neck was carefully examined for the presence of medial and lateral squatting facets, combined facets, continuous gutter shaped facets and extension of trochlear surface. The collected data were tabulated and percentage of each facets and trochlear extensions were calculated. Statistical analysis of data was performed. Results: Out of 70 dry human tali, lateral squatting facets were present in 29 (41.4%) bones and medial squatting facets were seen in 11 (15.7%) bones, gutter shaped facets in 12 (17.1%) tali and combined facet present in 10 (14.2%) tali. Complete absence of facet was observed in 8 tali. Lateral extension of trochlear surface on the dorsum of neck was seen in 60 (85.7%) bones and medial trochlear extension was seen in 8(11.5%) bones. Lateral squatting facets were more common on right side but medial, gutter and combined facets though less frequent were seen more on left side. Lateral extensions were more commonly seen than medial extensions. Conclusion: The knowledge of incidence of these modifications on the dorsal surfaces of neck of the talus acts as a key anthropological factor to identify the racial and regional origin of unclaimed skeleton. Hence the results of this study will be of great help for forensic experts, anthropologist who are handling the unidentified skeletons. KEY WORDS: Squatting Facets, Talus, Trochlear extensions, Sub Talar Joint Stability.

Intergenred Diffusion in Orthodox Hymnography (On The Example of Canticles of The Troparion Subsystem)

A complex and multifaceted characterization of the phenomenon of intergenre diffusion on the material of the troparion subsystem songs is carried out. A number of general scientific and special methods and approaches have been applied, in particular musicological (comparative and analytical), culturological, historical, philological, liturgical, theological. The method of analysis of individual hymns by eight genre features (developed by Olena Shevchuk on the basis of research by other musicologists, in particular Johann von Gardner and Iryna Bezuglova) was tested. For the first time in Ukrainian medieval music studies, rare troparion genres were involved in comparative studios — triadika, martyrika, thanatika, doxastika, eisodika and apolytykia. The problem of genre typology and genre hierarchy in hymnography, interrelation of liturgical genres with homiletic, euchographic and biblical ones is outlined in a new way. Several interrelated levels of intergenre diffusion have been identified in troparia, kathismata, hypakoi, monostrophic kontakiа and other related chants. Three main ones have been singled out: sources of poetic texts, genre names, common poetic-musical models. It is noted that the sources of verbal texts of troparion songs were often proimions and ikos of polystrophic kondaks of St. Romanos Melodos, which could act as selfsimilar to the hymns of the troparion subsystem. It has been proved that the change of genre names (troparion — kathisma — hypakoe — kondak — stichera) is connected both with different regional origin of names (Constantinople, Jerusalem) and with the historical development of liturgical genres and the whole genre system. Other common attributes in the hymns of the troparia group are determined — the theological content of the verbal text (contemplative, didactic, historical, dogmatic), genre styles and chants (in the Stoudios period — papadikon in Byzantium, kontakarion in Kyivan Rus, in Jerusalem — Bulgarian), forms (one-segment, two-segment, stanzas with codes, rondo type), methods of performance (hymnody, antiphonal, responsory). It was found that special troparia genres — triadika and thanatika — were sung in eight voices, but there were no special self-similar ones.

Diagnosis of Regional Blood Origin in Sexual Violence during Pandemic COVID-2019

The article indicates that Ukraine has significantly approached European standards in terms of preventing domestic violence and observing women's rights, legal assistance is provided at the legislative level. However, due to the increase in cases of domestic violence, especially sexual violence in emergency situations, including in quarantine conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the issues of preventing and combating domestic violence require special attention and further solutions. The timely conduct of forensic medical examinations in order to identify the presence of injuries with the subsequent fixation of the facts of domestic violence, especially sexual violence, provides significant assistance to justice in the investigation of crimes. In cases of sexual violence against women, in addition to fixing external injuries, it is also necessary to pay attention to the study of objects of biological origin, identification by species, sex, regional, organ or cellular identity. Material and methods. The study material was dried on gauze menstrual blood, taken from practically healthy women and women who have inflammatory diseases of the external genital organs, aged 18 to 45 with a normal menstrual cycle. In forensic practice, this method is new. Results and discussion. The obtained results allowed recommending this method for the forensic medical determination of the regional origin of blood. As a result of our research, we found the dependence of PGF2α content, firstly, on the age of women, and secondly, on the regional origin of the fluid. It should be noted that the content of PGF2α in vaginal fluid, menstrual blood and capillary blood in women of reproductive age, has an age feature, its content is higher by 6-12% for women aged 30-45 years. Thus, in women 30-45 years the content of PGF2α was always, in all fluids, higher than in women 18-29 years (p <0.001): in vaginal fluid it increased by 11%; in menstrual blood it was by 6% higher; in capillary blood it increased by 3%. PGF2α was the highest in menstrual blood compared to vaginal fluid and capillary blood. Moreover, this trend was true for women of both ages: in women aged 30-45, the content of PGF2α was 2.6 times higher in menstrual blood than in capillary, and 1.4 times more than in vaginal fluid; in women aged 18-29, the content of PGF2α was 2.7 times higher in menstrual blood than in capillary, and 1.5 times higher than in vaginal fluid. Thus, we obtained statistically significant indicators that indicated the possibility of establishing the menstrual origin of the blood by the quantitative content of PG F2α. Conclusion. In our opinion, the content of PGF2α above 13.1 ng / mg of dry tissue was a reliable sign of menstrual blood, which was of great diagnostic value in the differential diagnosis of regional origin of objects of biological origin (blood) in cases of sexual violence / sexual crimes

Local Meanings for Supralocal Change

While the retraction of trap is found throughout the American West, it is primarily associated with California and supposed Californian values in both the popular media and the ears of Californian listeners. This study investigates the local construction of meaning for a supralocal sound change by examining perceptions of trap backing in Kansas, a locale that has also undergone front lax vowel retraction. Thirty-five college students heard matched-guise stimuli differing only by trap F2, guessed speakers’ regional origin, and rated speakers on 14 affective scales. Listeners associated trap backing with California (despite local participation in the sound shift) and general prestige. The authors suggest that this association with general prestige may help to explain the presence of this vowel shift in Kansas despite considerable ideological differences with California. They argue that these results highlight the interaction between local construction of meaning and broader national discourses for a sound change: while stereotypical associations with a sound change can spread rapidly through means like popular media, stance and identity associations are constructed at the local level.
