Saudi Drama Commencements, Efforts, and Progression (9): 'From Under the Chair' by Ad-Dubaikhi as an Epitome

Drama is a ubiquitous and cross-cultural phenomenon rooted in the concept of theatrics, where a designated environment is established for the manifestation of dramatic occurrences. The origins of drama and theatre can be traced back to religious ceremonies, choral odes, and ceremonial gatherings, as well as historical pageantry. Through the medium of drama, social change can be actively influenced and public consciousness regarding societal matters can be heightened. The collective arts, such as theatre and drama, hold significant value as they epitomize social cooperation and foster a sense of community among individuals. By emphasizing the necessity of considering the needs and perspectives of others, theatre and drama serve as powerful mediums for promoting social empathy and understanding. This research, which is part of a series looking at Saudi theatre and drama, aimed to offer insight into the beginnings, challenges, and evolution of Saudi play. This study contributes to the field of Saudi drama by conducting a critical assessment and analysis of the social comedy "From Under the Chairs", a play that has not been previously examined in this manner.

A Model of Natural Resources Conflict Resolution in Kalimantan Tengah Using The Dayak Hinting Pali Custom Ritual

As a result of neglecting environmental damage and other impacts, of course, this has created conflicts over natural resources between indigenous Dayak communities and companies operating in Central Kalimantan. In dealing with environmental disputes, the community continues to look for a way out through various settlement efforts made in the context of fighting for community justice and environmental justice. One of the alternatives used by the Dayak customary law community in Central Kalimantan when the law or formal process is constrained or stalled in dealing with conflicts between the community and the company is by empowering the Hinting Pali. This research is legal research using a conceptual approach. The legal materials used were secondary and tertiary legal materials which were analyzed using an analytical description. Based on the results of the research, the meaning and essence of Hinting Pali are based on the perspective of kaharingan religious rituals (such as hintingidentical to the Tiwah traditional ceremony) and based on the point of view of hinting as an effort to defend land rights for indigenous Dayak people, hinting has experienced a change in meaning to the era of penetration of oil palm plantations in Central Kalimantan. The Dayak customary ritual Hinting Pali empirically in Central Kalimantan is used as an alternative model for resolving natural resource conflicts. Several cases of conflict between the community and the company have used hinting pal as a means for the company to comply and resolve the problem with the community. From the explanation above, it can be concluded that empirically the Dayak Hinting Pali in Central Kalimantan is used as an alternative model of conflict resolution involving land, natural resources, and customary forests.

‘This coconut was the one that finally worked’: cursing for peace and justice in Sri Lanka

ABSTRACT This article analyses how Sandya Ekneligoda re-purposes cultural and religious cursing rituals to challenge disappearances, impunity, and illiberal peacebuilding in post-war Sri Lanka. Drawing on several cosmologies (principally Buddhist and Hindu), she invokes archetypal female deities/demons for healing and revenge. She uses performances of ritual cursing not only to keep her husband’s disappearance in the public eye and to critique domestic justice processes, but also to connect with other families of the disappeared across Sri Lanka’s ethnic, religious, and linguistic divides. In January 2022, she performed a cursing ritual against the ruling Rajapaksa clan, which ended with smashing a coconut. Six months later, a popular uprising had ejected the Rajapaksas from power. The article makes an original empirical contribution to the peacebuilding and transitional justice literature, which highlights the need to pay greater attention to (female) cosmological power, negative emotions, and non-liberal forms of resistance to illiberal peacebuilding.

The researchers used qualitative research methods. Research results show that cultural representation in movies appears beyond superficial markers, incorporating meaning, signs and symbols that are relevant to the characters' backgrounds in society. Both films depict elements such as food, stereotypes, and religious norms that represent a specific culture or religion. However, both films clearly reflect traditional fashion symbols, musical instruments, language, traditions, decorations, and religious rituals. This intertextual exploration enriches the story and offers a more inclusive depiction of superheroes in a globalized worldThis study is expected to provide insightful and nuanced understandings of cultural representation in this modern era of globalization through the eyes of Spiderman Across the Spider-Verse (2023) and Ms. Marvel (2022).

GOVERNMENT HEGEMONY VS. DESA ADAT RESISTANCE: DYNAMICS OF REGULATING DESA ADAT IN BALI

The government's strategy to promote desa adat (customary village) materialized through the implementation of Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2019 in Bali, fostering a dynamic interaction aimed at enhancing desa adat resilience. This study examines the dynamic forms of interaction between these institutions. Data were obtained utilizing a qualitative approach, including literature reviews, observations, and interviews. The data analysis results are described using theories of hegemony, ideology, discourse, and the power of knowledge. The research concludes that diverse forms of interaction between the government and desa adat encompass involvement in the formulation of desa adat regulations; participation in religious rituals and cultural activities; and relevance in financial governance. Theoretical findings suggest that power operates through interactions to assert dominance over desa adat by spreading discourse, knowledge, and ideological strategies. This article provides valuable insights for shaping regulations that better align with the identity and autonomy of desa adat.

Clinical and environmental considerations for neonatal, office-based circumcisions compared with operative circumcisions

Neonatal male circumcision is a commonly performed procedure in the United States. Circumcisions are performed at various ages by a variety of clinical providers for multiple reasons, including religious, cultural, personal, and medical indications. In the United States, neonatal circumcision is routinely performed by non-urologic providers in the hospital within the first few days of life or as a religious ceremony on the 8th day of life. If neonatal circumcision is deferred in the hospital and subsequently not performed in the outpatient setting, it is then typically performed in the operating room under general anesthesia after 6 months of life. Neonatal circumcision is supported by both the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) due to the belief that the health benefits outweigh the minimal risk of the procedure. Despite this, neonatal circumcision rates have decreased in the United States in recent decades, in part due to access to the procedure, often related to changing insurance coverage. This has led to increased rates of operative circumcisions. Operative circumcisions are more costly to the healthcare system, subject the patient to cardiopulmonary and potentially neurotoxic effects of general anesthesia, and carry an increased environmental footprint, compared to neonatal circumcision. The intention of this paper is not to promote or justify circumcision for all patients, but rather to compare the clinical and environmental impact of neonatal versus operative circumcisions.

An Examination of Talal Asad's Thought in Anthropological Studies on the Islamic Community of the Sasak Tribe of Lombok

The island of Lombok is inhabited by the Sasak tribe with the majority of the people being Muslim. This island is located in the small Sunda range in the central region of Indonesia. The Sasak tribe as the original inhabitants of the island of Lombok, which is also nicknamed the island of a thousand mosques, has a variety of unique religious traditions and rituals that we can only find on the island of Lombok. so many traditions in Lombok itself are still closely related to Islam. As well as the maulidan tradition, Lebaran ketupat, and several other traditions. Discussions related to Islamic tradition have been studied by many figures in the world, one of which is Talal Asad. It should also be noted that Talal Asad has criticized the textualization of social life, his work has shifted analysis through behavioral interpretation and towards an investigation into the relationship of practice with what he calls "discursive tradition." Asad introduced this concept in his intervention into Islamic anthropology but also linked it to several fields (anthropology, religious studies, postcolonial studies, critical theory) concerned with ethics and religion in modernity. Through this article, the author would like to invite readers to jointly understand the context of Islamic anthropology based on customs, traditions, and the writings of figures such as Talal Asad. This article is expected to be able to provide education to the public regarding Islam on the island of Lombok, then the history of Islam on the island of Lombok, customs, traditions, and its review based on Talal Asad's anthropology.

An Ambiguity in limine: faveo in Two Incipit of Tibullus and Propertius

The article aims to analyse an intertextual link in the ambiguous use of faveo between Tib. 2.1.1 and Prop. 4.6.1, both elegies classifiable as ‘mimetic’ hymns and both ‘thresholds’ of the respective two books of elegies. It is intended to show how Tibullus, inspiring Propertius in this, understood the implicit resources of a verb like faveo in the context of ‘mimetic’ fiction, by which the officiating poet can simultaneously address the imaginary participants of the religious ceremony and the actual readers of the poem. The aim is to show how this Tibullian use of faveo, suggested by the poeta-sacerdos mimesis, not only instilled in Propertius, also in the role of officiant, the need to enfranchise a sequence such as favete linguis from its formular rigidity, but illustrated the expressive potential of the verb in the incipit position of an elegy as a source of metapoetic reflection, being able to subtly express an ambivalence suitable for defining an angle of privileged sharing between poet and readers, carved out at crucial points in Tibullus’ second book and Propertius’ fourth in which precisely faveo can make itself the bearer of a message transcended from the literal plane.

Cultural Governmentality and the Momentum of Religious Rituals in Taiwan: A Religio-Cultural Evolution of Popular Religion

Taiwanese popular religion has encountered significant challenges due to the sweeping social changes accompanying the modernization of Taiwanese society. This paper seeks to uncover the distinct dynamics at play, focusing on the transformation of procession troupes, which are an essential part of important religious events known as divine processions: a common collective ritual among local worship communities in Taiwan. Two pivotal external forces have surfaced, providing traditional procession troupes with opportunities for revitalization amidst what had been waning relevance. The first is the narrative of cultural heritage advanced by the public sector, and the second is the commercialization trend of the troupe market. The interplay of ‘cultural coding’ and ‘commercial coding’ has emerged as a key factor in maintaining the relevance and operations of traditional procession troupes in contemporary times. The analysis in this paper reveals that the modern evolution of popular religion is grounded not in its religious core but rather in the cultural significance of its rituals amidst the broader process of ‘culturalization of religion’.

Art, illusion, and recycled images in Johannes Pauli’s anecdotes on painters

This article considers selected book illustrations that were published in the 1530s by Augsburg printer Heinrich Steiner. It compares Steiner’s choice of images for Schimpff und Ernst (1534), a popular anthology of entertaining and serious anecdotes compiled by the Franciscan preacher Johannes Pauli, with woodcuts that Steiner had previously employed in newly translated, moral–philosophical texts by Cicero and Petrarch. Although all three texts problematize the art of painting according to classical and medieval narratives, which urge caution in viewing lifelike images, each proposes diverse solutions for regarding illusionistic works of art. Whereas prior studies focus on the intentions of individual authors, this article highlights the printer–publisher’s agency. One image recycled in disparate works speaks to art’s multifaceted functions for upper-class, lay readers. This article argues that Steiner’s selection of images inserts Pauli’s chapter on artists and illusionistic painting into ongoing debates in Reformation-era Germany about the proper role of images in religious ritual. This cross-reading of image–text pairings in the early 1530s offers insights into the complexity of period attitudes towards visual art, the painter’s profession, and the beholder’s responsibilities.

Analysis of allergen distribution and indoor factors in allergic rhinitis in Chaoshan area

Objective:To investigate the distribution of common allergens and indoor factors influencing the severity of allergic rhinitis in patients from the Chaoshan region. Methods:Patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis from Shantou, Jieyang, and Chaozhou were selected for serum allergen-specific IgE testing. A questionnaire survey was conducted to analyze the distribution of allergens and indoor factors affecting the severity of the disease. Results:A total of 1 800 questionnaires were collected, with 1 646 valid responses, resulting in an effective response rate of 91.4%. Among the 1 646 included patients with allergic rhinitis, there were 1 285 children（≤14 years） ，361 adolescents and adults（>14 years）；of which 999 were males and 647 were females. The top three allergens with the highest positive rates were house dust mites（n=1 457, 88.5%）, milk（n=569, 34.6%）, and crab（n=360, 21.9%）. The proportions of allergen sensitization to house dust mites, house dust, dog dander, egg white, milk, fish, crab, shrimp, and beef showed statistically significant differences between children and adolescents and adults（P<0.01）. There were also statistically significant differences in crab and shrimp sensitization between males and females（P<0.01）. Multivariate analysis revealed that active/passive smoking, religious rituals, air conditioning usage, pet ownership, air purifier usage, and bedding drying were indoor factors influencing the severity of allergic rhinitis. Among them, active/passive smoking, religious rituals, air conditioning usage, and pet ownership were risk factors for exacerbating the disease, while air purifier usage and bedding drying were protective factors. Conclusion:House dust mites are the most common allergen in patients with allergic rhinitis in the Chaoshan region. Active/passive smoking, religious rituals, air conditioning usage, and pet ownership can worsen the condition, while air purifier usage and bedding drying can help control the disease. The results of this study can provide clinical reference.

Acute exposure of zebrafish (Danio rerio) adults to psychotria carthagenensis leaf extracts: chemical profile, lack of genotoxicity and histological changes

Psychotria carthagenensis is a shrubby plant, often consumed by traditional populations in religious rituals. Previous studies have shown that this plant’s infusion can inhibit the activity of Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in rats. Despite the therapeutic potential, there is a lack of research regarding its possible toxicological and genotoxic effects. Hence, this study aimed to analyze the chemical profile of the ethanol extract from P. carthagenensis leaves by LC-DAD-MS and assess its possible toxicity and genotoxicity in zebrafish (Danio rerio). Adult zebrafish (N = 9/group) were exposed at different concentrations and the LC50 was calculated. Frequencies of micronucleus (MN) and nuclear abnormalities (NA) were estimated for genotoxic effects, and degree of tissue changes (DTC) was used to assess the liver and gill histopathology. From the LC-DAD-MS analyses, the identified compounds included N-fructosyl valine, ethyl hexoside, 5-O-E-caffeoylquinic acid, N-feruloylagmatime, roseoside, di-O-deoxyhexoyl-hexosyl quercetin, loiolide, and oleamide. The calculated values of LC50 did not vary significantly during the time of exposure. At the concentrations of 1.25, 2.5, 3.75, 5, 7.5, 10 and 15 mg/L, there was no genotoxicity, and only low to moderate toxicity for the tissues was observed, despite mortality of 100% at doses of 20–100 mg/L of P. carthagenensis ethanolic leaf extract. There were changes in cytoplasm of hepatocytes at 1.25 mg/L, and karyorrhexis, karyolysis and megalocytosis at 10 mg/L. In the gills, the alterations were primary lamellar hyperplasia in all concentrations, and at 10 mg/L, secondary lamellar edema and vascular hyperemia were common. Additionally, the chemical composition of P. carthagenensis was expanded.

Landscape Ecological Structures and Patterns for Green Space Conservation in Forest Monasteries in Northeast Thailand

The green spaces in Wat Pah play an important role in forest conservation in Thailand. This study identified and analyzed the structures and patterns of landscape ecology in Wat Pah Nanachart, Ubon Ratchathani Province, to guide a conceptual framework for green space conservation in forest monasteries. Spatial analysis and modeling using geoinformatics technology were employed to recognize and characterize these landscapes. Information on the green space conservation and management of Wat Pah was also obtained using an in-depth interview and site observation. The results revealed that most of the green space in Wat Pah is forest, characterized by an ecological matrix and a dry evergreen forest. The forest structure can be divided into three canopies, dominated by the Dipterocarpaceae family, which has regenerated into upper and lower canopies. It is an edge matrix and ecological corridor connected to the internal and external green spaces of Wat Pah. It plays an important role in supporting cultural, religious, and aesthetic activities for ordained monks and Buddhists. The spatial landscape model can be divided into three main zones: Thoranisangha, Buddhawas, Sanghawas. Thoranisangha is an open space covered with traditional and artificially planted tree species. It is located in front of the temple and designed for public utilities in the context of managing and conserving the remaining trees. Buddhawas is a semi-open space mostly covered with traditional tree species. It represents Buddhism’s identity and uniqueness and is used for religious ceremonies and dissemination—listening to sermons, meditating, and praying. Meanwhile, Sanghawas is covered with natural forest and contains residences for monks that are designed to be in harmony with the forest ecosystem.

The attitude of the Tatars of the Kirov region (Russia) to religious rites

In modern Russia, much attention is paid to the preservation of cultural traditions of different peoples and faiths, but at the same time many aspects remain undisclosed in research. A rich material for study exists in the multiethnic and multicultural Kirov region. Tatars occupy the second largest population in the region and have their own rich cultural traditions based on Islam and influencing the culture of the region. The purpose of the research is to study the attitude of Tatars to religious rituals on the example of the Kirov region. To achieve this goal, ethnosociological expeditions were undertaken in 2018-2023 to the Malmyzhsky and Kilmezsky districts of the Kirov region as one of the most representative areas where the Tatar population lives. Within the framework of the expeditions, methods of included observation were used, as well as interviews in the form of interviews. As a result, the attitude of the Tatars towards such religious ceremonial as the obligatory observance of prayer, marriage (nikyah), the prohibition on eating pork, as well as the special position of women was revealed. As the study showed, Tatars in the Kirov region do not have a canonical manifestation of the foundations of Islam, but a folk faith characterized by a simplified perception of these foundations: not all Tatars observe the fivefold prayer, some of them also eat pork. It remains important for the Tatar population to observe the nikyah rite at marriage, but at the same time there is a relaxation in choosing a partner – he can be of any nationality, but must be a Muslim or convert to Islam. There are certain changes in the situation of women: there are no restrictions on their rights and freedoms, and not all Muslim women adhere to a strict and closed style of dress. In addition, the Tatars' desire to combine the traditional way of life with the modern dominant culture, as well as with other national cultures of the region ("neighborly mutual assistance", holding various festivals of traditional cultures, assimilation of Tatars) was revealed. It was concluded that the attitude towards traditional confessional rituals in the Tatar community is softened and does not imply strictness in observance. The results of the study are useful for building intercultural communications between various stakeholders (government, business, non-profit organizations).
