DADA-HAIR STYLE THE ENGINE POWER HOUSE FOR MAIMI WATER SPIRITUALITY AND SPIRIT POSSESSION IN TRADITIONAL IGBE CULT RELIGION OF THE AGULERI PEOPLE

Various rituals recognize Mami Water’s power to give countless gifts or blessings, but at the same vein require that the devotees give gifts to others as well as receive them for themselves. Nonetheless, the fears and aspirations of the devotees who basically identified as individuals with curly hair – dada are equally identified in the course of the sound and incantations ascribed to Mami Water and other divinities. The objective of this work is to investigate the symbolic acts of spirit possession through cultural relativism as a method of my analytical lens and how it concerns those aspects of its use in Igbe cult to bring out its religious and cultural significance. Born out of this, the author found out that in traditional Igbo religion the practice of spirit possession is significant and related to one function that brings religion and science as a discourse. This paper focuses on the creation of spirit possession in Mami Water worship through the mediating powers of special individuals with dada hair styles who evidently are the members of Igbe cult. It explores how this ritual emerges as a manifestation of the group’s intrinsic power of accomplishment, adaptation, and invention. The researcher recommends that Africans should go back to their root and reconcile with the positive traditions. Cultural studies should be included in the educational curriculum at all levels. This will help awaken the interest of the youths towards their cultural heritage and in turn give them a sense of identity where spirit possession is concerned.

ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ТЕМПЕРАТУРНИХ РЕЖИМІВ В ПРИСТРОЯХ ЕЛЕКТРОПОБУТОВОЇ ТЕХНІКИ

The aim of the work is to improve the work of hair styling devices, which is aimed at increasing the efficiency of hair styling under the action of sufficiently high temperatures with the least damage to it. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved: the relationship between the physical properties of hair and temperature regimes of curling was analyzed; experimentally investigated the distribution of curling temperature during heating and cooling; the distribution of the temperature of the curling iron when heated with dry hair and with moist hair was experimentally studied. Methodology. The methods of mathematical modeling, methods of mathematical physics, methods of experimental researches with processing of results of experiment by means of a modern software product and computer equipment are used in the work. Findings. Analytical and experimental studies have shown the need for a uniform temperature field on the surface of the work surface to achieve the desired result. The necessity of temperature regulation in devices for work with hair is proven. Originality. The possibility of using the installation for experimental evaluation of temperature control in devices for working with hair is substantiated, which will significantly increase the time of continuous operation of the device and reduce electricity consumption. Practical value. A stand for research and analysis of different temperature regimes of electrical appliances has been developed. The thermostat circuit for temperature control in devices for work with hair is applied. It has been proven that you need to choose the temperature in relation to the condition and type of hair, so as not to cause great harm. Due to its small size, economic and technical indicators, this stand is easy to use when studying the temperature conditions in devices for working with hair in the work space, which contributes to more modern and demonstrative training. It is proposed to use the two-position law of temperature regulation for the surfaces of the working bodies.

Assessment of the prevalence of pediculosis capitis and related effective features among primary schoolchildren in Ahvaz County, Southwest of Iran.

The present research was carried out to investigate the prevalence of head lice and related effective features among students in primary schools of Ahvaz County; Iran; to suitable training programs via improve the health promotion of the students in this county during winter 2016 and spring 2017. The sample size was 5930 students that was determined by using a single population proportion formula. In this analytical-descriptive study, samples were selected by a multistep, classification random sampling strategy. The data was collected in two parts, a carefully visual examination of the hair and scalp with head lice comb, and an interview to complete a questionnaire about epidemiologic factors. The collected data was evaluated using SPSS software, version 22. These data were compared using a Chi-square analysis, and a p value of less than 0.05 was considered to be significant. The overall head lice infestation rate in the studied population was 26.3%. The prevalence rate was 15.2% in the boys and 37.9% in the girls, while the rate of infestation was 25.1% in the urban areas and 36.9% in the villages. Also, a statistical significant relationship was observed between Pediculosis capitis and gender, geographical area, type of home, access to tap water, hygiene bath at home, bath times per week, the number of family individuals, sleeping in the common bedroom, use common bedding, daily comb, use common comb, use common towel, use common scarf, history of infestation, presence health educator in school, access to primary health services, knowledge about head lice, infestation in the family, performing personal hygiene, itching on the head and hair style, length, density, and color. The high prevalence of head lice among students in the majority of primary schools in Ahvaz County is attributable to inadequate access to health educators, sanitation facilities, inattention to personal health, and other related factors. The controlling program must be done more efficiently to prevent the prevalence of head lice infestation. It is suggested that the people's knowledge and attitude about biology, clinical presentation, prevention, and treatment strategies of pediculosis capitis should be improved.

AN UNPUBLISHED PORTRAIT HEAD FROM IZNIK MUSEUM

Hairstyle is the most important factor in dating private portraits inspired by official portraits. When the head hair style of the portrait, which is preserved in Iznik Museum and has not been published until today, is examined, it is seen that the voluminous and short hair tresses on the forehead form a bifurcation motif on the right part of the forehead. The ends of the hair tresses, which are combed to the left one after another from this bifurcation motif, are also wavy. This hairstyle is also unique to the period of Julio-Claudian Dynasty. The hairstyle of this dynasty, which started from 27 BC and continued until 68 AD, has been preserved up to IVth type portraits of Nero. The bifurcation motif formed by short and voluminous hair tresses in the center of the forehead or on the right or left of the center of the forehead, was continued until 65 AD, when IVth type portraits of Nero emerged. Along with the bifurcation motif, the hair forelock, which was shaped with hair tresses that are mutually repetitive, also known as pliers mouth in the process until the Nero portraits, is one of the important stylistic characteristics in defining this dynasty period. The man head, which can be directly suggested as a dynasty due to its hairstyle, has been reduced to private due to the realistic transfer of the characteristic features of the person portrayed, and a proposal for the Claudius period has been made; because, it is known that the characteristic features of the people who were portrayed in this dynasty apart from the Claudius period were idealized and transferred. The emperor, who came to the throne at the age of 51, stayed away from idealism in his portraits to keep his bond with the public strong and to prove that he was from the public. While the hair style in Iznik piece was unique to this dynasty, the realistic transfer of the characteristic features made it possible to date the piece to the period of Claudius, one of the emperors of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty.

Traction Alopecia: Clinical and Cultural Patterns

Background:Traction alopecia is common and preventable but frequently overlooked disorder.Objective:To evaluate patients with traction alopecia.Patients and Methods:This study was conducted at the Dermatology Center, Medical City, Baghdad, Iraq, during the period from November 2005 to October 2019. Demographic features like age, gender, disease duration and special hair styling practices and accessories were recorded. Clinical patterns were studied.Results:Thirty female patients were included in this study. Their ages ranged from 6 to 47 years with mean age ± SD was 15.63 ± 9.806. Twenty-one (70%) were below the age of 16 years. No patient had tightly curled hair. All cases were asymptomatic apart from hair loss. The fringe sign was observed in 27 (90%) of cases. The response to therapy was poor.Conclusion:Traction alopecia is an important type of pressure-induced hair loss evident in children and adults with or without curly hair due mainly due to cultural hair styling practices with its frequency apparently increasing in recent years. The fringe sign is common and of diagnostic importance. It is a preventable form of hair loss which can be reversed if diagnosed early; otherwise, permanent scarring alopecia results. It represents a pressure phenomenon evident worldwide in both non-Sub-Saharan lineage and Sub-Saharan lineage individuals.

Why the CROWN Act of 2020 must be Passed into Law

Black people are often burdened with having to decide between their natural hair and their employment. Media reports of late have uncovered that Black people of all ages and genders have faced the difficult choice of giving in to discrimination of their natural hair in school and at sporting events. The CROWN Act of 2020 was introduced as a response and a way forward in overcoming this burden. Furthermore, this legislation is an effort to educate the general public about the natural hair styles that are often seen as unkempt but are a proud aspect of Black culture. This paper will give the author’s perspective of the significance of this legislation and personal experiences that have formed these views.

Hair Styling with Physics

Experiments show that hair-like bundles form different shapes depending on the speed at which they are dried.

Chemical relaxers and curlers: Hidden danger

Introduction: Hair is the most noticeable part of one’s beauty and enhances individual’s personality. Hair loss is largely the result of genetics and hormones, however, lifestyle (hair colouring, fashion etc.) and environmental factors such as hair styling, eating habits and chemical exposure has major role. As more women are embracing their natural hair by exposing them to chemical relaxers resulting in an untold havoc with our physical health. Aims and Objectives: To examine the patients undergoing repeated chemical relaxing and curling Methodology: A cross-sectional observational hospital based study was carried out on purposively selected patients diagnosed with telogen effluvium. Forty seven patients of either sex, aged between 18 to 50 yrs those who had undergone relaxing and curling more than once over a period of 12 months Result: Out of 47 patients diagnosed to have hair fall, 13 were male and 34 were female. 49% belonged to the age group of 25-31 years. 42% of patients applied relaxers up to 4 times while 7% used up to 10 times. The commonest adverse events associated with the use of chemical hair relaxers were hair loss (61%), dry hair (45%), dandruff (20%), thinning of hair (30%), greying of hair (25%) and split ends in only (15%). Conclusion: Hair fall, lack of hair growth, hair breakage, hair thinning, scalp irritation are the main adverse effects faced due to the continuous use of hair relaxers and curlers. However, chemical hair relaxers have been know to cause adverse effects is not a false belief and affected the society badly.Therefore one should be very careful while using and applying any sort of chemical to your hairs. Keywords: Chemical Hair Relaxers, Falling of Hair, Hair loss, Scalp Irritation, Hair Breakage.

It grows on you: Perceptions of sales/service personnel with facial hair

Service and sales personnel researchers have long been interested in the effects of physical appearance on sales and service outcomes. In the current work, we examine a specific physical feature—facial hair. Interestingly, evolutionary psychologists have found that facial hair does not consistently increase perceived attractiveness (Dixson & Vasey, 2012; Dixson, Vasey, & Brooks, 2013), but it does serve as an indicator of masculine traits. The present research examines how males with beards are perceived in a sales/service specific context. We present five studies, in which the power of the beard (versus other facial hair styles or no hair) is evident. Sales personnel with a beard are perceived as having more expertise across various industries; furthermore, increased perceptions of expertise predict higher ratings of trustworthiness and, subsequently, increase consumers’ purchase likelihood.

‘They’ve Been with Me the Whole Journey’: Temporality, Emotional Labour and Hairdressing Work

The role of time in organisational and relational development remains an understudied component of work and employment. In response, this article draws attention to the ways that temporality informs relations between workers and clients in service work. Drawing on data from interviews and observations with hair stylists in salons located in the North East of England from 2016 to 2018, we provide a nuanced account of emotional service work by considering the role of the temporal dynamics of recurrence and experience. Describing that which we label ‘relational trajectories’, we show the role of time in developing more authentic service performances. We conclude that acknowledging time allows for a more refined conceptual understanding of how emotional labour is performed based on an appreciation of how relations develop and change. Emotional labour is positioned as highly nuanced and adaptive in its responses to the specificities of relational trajectories that unfold over time.

고구려 고분벽화 속 남성두식 유형 및 조형미 연구 - 중국과의 관련 및 변천과정을 중심으로 -

고구려 고분 벽화들 중에서 초기와 중기의 것들을 대상으로 특히 인물·생활풍속도에 등장하는 남성두식의 유형 및 조형미를 고찰했다. 첫째, 남성두식의 유형에서 머리모양의 경우에는 피발형, 속발형, 빈발형, 상투형과 삭발형으로 구분해서 논했으며, 중국의 영향을 받은 것으로 상투형을 언급하였다. 그 리고 모자의 경우에는 머리 수건, 두건, 절풍·조우절풍, 책, 소골, 방형소관, 관모로 구분 해서 논했는데, 중국의 영향을 받은 것으로는 절풍, 책, 관모를 언급하였다. 둘째, 남성두식의 조형미에 대하여 ‘세련된 몰골법과 구륵법 활용’에서는 고구려 고 분벽화의 두 채색 화법이 남성의 머리모양과 모자의 경우에 활용된 사례들을 논했다. ‘역동성 있는 정교한 필체’에서는 머리모양과 모자의 경우에 세련된 필체가 빚어내는 윤곽선의 강약, 두께 조절로 인한 역동성과 정교한 표현이 드러난 사례들을 언급하였 다. 끝으로 ‘입체감 표현’에서는 머리모양과 모자의 경우에 공히 개개 인물의 ¾ 전방형 표현과 그 인물들의 화면 포치에서의 대각선적인 방향성으로 인한 심미적인 특성을 논했다. 결론적으로 고구려 고분 벽화에 나타난 남성두식은 중국과의 문물교류를 통하여 형 성된 것과 고구려 고유의 것이 혼재했는데, 대부분 중국으로부터 유입한 사례에서도 진일보한 표현을 발견할 수 있었다. 그리고 초기로부터 중기로 넘어감에 따라 표현된 수준에 있어서도 전반적으로 진일보한 모습을 발견할 수 있었다.

Aggregate exposure assessment using cosmetic co-use scenarios

The “co-use” patterns of cosmetics would be critical for accurate aggregate exposure assessment. We proposed cosmetic co-use scenarios by analyzing the co-use patterns of Koreans. We conducted aggregate exposure assessments using the co-use scenarios and validated the new methodology by comparing the results to those of a receptor-based aggregate exposure assessment.The Korean national representative exposure factor database, which includes simultaneous usage patterns of 31 cosmetics by 1,001 subjects, was used to analyze the co-use patterns by Koreans. Frequent pattern mining was performed using the eclat algorithm. The number of cosmetics used and co-use pattern were influenced by gender and age of the population. The co-use patterns exhibited an additive property in that new cosmetics were added to previous cosmetic combinations. A co-use scenario was proposed using the rank of occurrence frequency in co-use patterns and percentile values of the number of cosmetics used. The 16 co-use scenarios represented to the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles of the co-use patterns for four gender-age groups.The aggregate exposures of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP) in cosmetics were estimated by co-use scenarios for cosmetics. The co-use scenario-based AED increased with the number of cosmetics in the co-use scenarios, and was higher in female and younger groups. The major contributors were body lotion for DEHP, nail polish for DnBP, and hair styling product in males and shower cologne in females for DEP. The distribution of the co-use scenario based AEDs displayed a similar trend to that of the receptor-based AEDs, with the 95th percentiles of the AED slightly underestimated in the co-use scenario. The aggregate exposure assessment methodology using co-use scenario could provide reasonable aggregate exposures with relatively few resources required.

Pan Facial Fat Cells Transfer for Correction of Slim Face Deformity

Background: There are many reports in the literaturedescribing how to slim down the face. These reports includediet and nutritional control, facial exercises, camouflageprocedures by makeup and hair style and facial liposuction.However, excessive slimming of the face is due to decreasedamount of subcutaneous fat cells in facial fat compartments.Slim face deformity is the term which we applied todescribe diffuse symmetrical hollowing of the face of youngpeople without any apparent cause. It may be constitutionalor due to massive weight loss in some patients. Fat graftingis one of many other techniques that were reported for correctionand enhancement of localized facial regions andtreatment of facial aging. However we could not find anyreport in the literature describing how to correct slim facedeformity.Obejective: The authors are going to describe slim facedeformity and experience in correction using fat cells transferin different facial fat compartments.Patients and Methods: Thirty five patients with slim facedeformity were treated by full face fat injection. The techniqueof fat harvesting, preparation and injection is illustrated. Thepatients were followed-up for at least six months.Results: All patients had initial dissatisfaction with earlypost-operative appearance due to the surgical edema andovercorrection. They became gradually satisfied within aperiod of three months after surgery. 80% of patients had onlyone session of fat injection and only 20% of them asked forfurther fat injection and this was usually done eight to tenmonths after surgery.Conclusion: Fat cell transfer, can be used as a safe longlasting procedure for correction of slim face deformity inpatients who need full facial augmentation. It is a more naturaland relatively cheaper technique in comparison to the use ofother dermal fillers

Novel "After Minoxidil" spray improves topical minoxidil compliance and hair style manageability.

Topical minoxidil is the only US FDA-approved drug for the treatment of female pattern hair loss (FPHL). While the safety profile of topical minoxidil is excellent, the efficacy of minoxidil in hair growth is extremely low. A recent survey of 8000 people observed that only 4% of hair loss patients using an over-the-counter minoxidil were very satisfied with their results. In contrast, in clinical studies with an intervening physician, approximately 30%-40% of patients demonstrate an appreciable benefit. Compliance with topical drug regimens is often a major obstacle, limiting their effectiveness. Topical minoxidil leaves a greasy residue on the hair, which is especially problematic for women who do not wash their hair daily. We set out to develop an "After Minoxidil" companion spray to minoxidil that removes residual minoxidil from the hair, where it is not needed, yet leaves minoxidil on the scalp where it is required. We hypothesized that improving the cosmetic properties of minoxidil would improve patient compliance with the drug and subsequently improve clinical outcomes. A cohort of 20 FPHL patients was recruited to use the novel "After Minoxidil" spray and report changes in hair quality on a Likert scale. In our cohort of FPHL patients, the novel "After Minoxidil" spray restored ease of styling and reduced greasiness to preminoxidil level in 65% and 85% of subjects, respectively. The average reduction in perceived greasiness was 78%. Importantly, 70% of subjects interviewed stated they would likely continue to use the minoxidil and "After Minoxidil" treatment regimen for 6 months, vs 0% willing to use minoxidil alone. The novel "After Minoxidil" spray improved ease of hair styling and reduced greasiness following application of topical minoxidil; thus, the novel "After Minoxidil" spray may help improve drug compliance and efficacy.

Conclusion: The present study of western Maharashtra will be useful for medico legal expert, anthropologist to differentiate from other parts of country and abroad as well. Moreover, it would be useful to orthodontics plastic surgeons for reconstruction of face.

Absence of Apparent Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from Two Stylists After Exposure at a Hair Salon with a Universal Face Covering Policy - Springfield, Missouri, May 2020.

On May 12, 2020 (day 0), a hair stylist at salon A in Springfield, Missouri (stylist A), developed respiratory symptoms and continued working with clients until day 8, when the stylist received a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A second hair stylist (stylist B), who had been exposed to stylist A, developed respiratory symptoms on May 15, 2020 (day 3), and worked with clients at salon A until day 8 before seeking testing for SARS-CoV-2, which returned a positive result on day 10. A total of 139 clients were directly serviced by stylists A and B from the time they developed symptoms until they took leave from work. Stylists A and B and the 139 clients followed the City of Springfield ordinance* and salon A policy recommending the use of face coverings (i.e., surgical masks, N95 respirators,† or cloth face coverings) for both stylists and clients during their interactions. Other stylists at salon A who worked closely with stylists A and B were identified, quarantined, and monitored daily for 14 days after their last exposure to stylists A or B. None of these stylists reported COVID-19 symptoms. After stylist B received a positive test result on day 10, salon A closed for 3 days to disinfect frequently touched and contaminated areas. After public health contact tracings and 2 weeks of follow-up, no COVID-19 symptoms were identified among the 139 exposed clients or their secondary contacts. The citywide ordinance and company policy might have played a role in preventing spread of SARS-CoV-2 during these exposures. These findings support the role of source control in preventing transmission and can inform the development of public health policy during the COVID-19 pandemic. As stay-at-home orders are lifted, professional and social interactions in the community will present more opportunities for spread of SARS-CoV-2. Broader implementation of masking policies could mitigate the spread of infection in the general population.
