A number of scholars acknowledge the rich resources contained within the wisdom, traditions and knowledge of Indigenous peoples for therapeutic healing. Repositories of collective ancient wisdom may well represent an underutilised resource for coping with challenges and trauma at the levels of both the individual and community. This article argues that the Bible is such a source as it contains a number of trauma narratives which can help in working with clients dealing with trauma. This article explores the Tutu te Puehu model proposed by Ngati Pāoa leader Glen Tupuhi. This Indigenous model that draws on the story of Joseph (Gen. 37–50), a biblical narrative that offers insights in terms of dealing with trauma and reconciliation, centred on the seven occasions that Joseph is said to weep. The model draws on the insights and the convergence of three distinct strands of Glen Tupuhi’s training and experience: his knowledge of te ao Māori, his Christian spirituality and worldview, and his experience in the areas of justice and health.

Resumo: Este artigo apresenta um estudo do conto “A volta do marido pródigo”, de Guimarães Rosa, com o foco na análise do personagem. Estabelecemos relações entre o anti-herói rosiano, o herói bíblico e o pícaro europeu. Para desenvolver tal análise, utilizamos a crítica de Roberto Schwarz (2012) e Antonio Candido (1993), bem como o pensamento do filósofo romeno Constantin Noica (2011), ao ressaltar que a recusa ou a carência do indivíduo perante o Geral (a lei, a ordem) caracteriza-se como uma doença do espírito contemporâneo. O presente estudo tem como objetivo contrapor as três categorias de heróis (o malandro, o bíblico e o pícaro), revelando suas semelhanças e divergências. Nosso método de pesquisa segue a crítica integrativa de Antonio Candido (1993), pois investiga a narrativa rosiana sob diferentes ângulos, observando o aspecto social e ontológico do personagem Lalino Salãthiel. O resultado deste estudo nos revela que o texto de Rosa apresenta uma sátira da narrativa bíblica ao mesmo tempo em que transcende o pícaro europeu. A categoria do malandro, como bem aponta Candido (1993), é uma peculiaridade do anti-herói brasileiro. Concluímos, assim, que a singularidade da malandragem de Lalino reforça a realização de sua individualidade e comprova que o seu espírito pode padecer de acatolia, ou seja, a recusa do Geral e a afirmação do individual, conforme nos esclarece Noica em sua obra As seis doenças do espírito contemporâneo.Palavras-chave: Guimarães Rosa; anti-herói; herói pródigo; personagem picaresco; malandragem.Abstract: We present a study about the short story “A volta do marido pródigo” (The prodigal husband’s return), written by Guimarães Rosa, focusing on a character analysis. We established relationships among the Rosian anti-hero, the biblical hero, and the European picaresque character. In order to develop this analysis, we use the critical work of Roberto Schwarz (2012) and Antonio Candido (1993), as well as the Romanian philosopher Constantin Noica’s (2011) way of thinking. Noica emphasizes that the individual’s refusal or need of the General (law, order) can be diagnosed as a contemporary spirit malady. The present study aims to counterpose the three categories of heroes (the malandro – Brazilian trickster –, the biblical and the picaresque), revealing their similarities and differences. Our research method relies on the integrative Antonio Candido’s (1993) critique, as it investigates Rosa’s narrative from different angles, considering the social and ontological aspects of the character Lalino Salãthiel. Our findings shows that Rosa’s text presents a satire of the biblical narrative, while transcending the European picaresque figure, since the malandro category, as Candido (1993) points out, is particular to some Brazilian characters. We conclude that the singularity of Lalino’s trickery reinforces his individuality realization, proving that his spirit may suffer from acatholia, which is the rejection of the General and the affirmation of the individual, as clarified by Noica in his work Six maladies of the contemporary spirit.Keywords: Guimarães Rosa; anti-hero; prodigal hero; picaresque character; malandragem (trickery).

The groups of Psalms formed by common ascriptive superscriptions each have their distinct characteristics and may be understood as pre-existing collections or read as groups with a common theme. A statistical table shows, among other things, that there is a strong connection between the Davidic superscription and the individual style; that the themes of the narratives of Israel's origins are virtually absent from the Davidic psalms but present in more than half of the Asaphic ones; that psalms of praise dominate the group of unascribed psalms. The Davidic psalms are dominated by a sense of personal relationship between the speaker and his God which points to the understanding of these psalms as a collection of personal prayers of the king. The psalms of Asaph have a national perspective and largely reflect situations of national crisis. The psalms of the sons of Korah are defined by the holy place. The psalms without ascriptions do not form a single group, but the prominence of the themes of creation and the kingship of Yahweh are notable, as is the relative infrequency of reference to the themes of the biblical narrative.

The present study demonstrates the ultrastructure of the gingival epithelium of the pig tail monkey (Macaca nemestrina). Specimens were taken from lingual and facial gingival surfaces and fixed in Dalton's chrome osmium solution (pH 7.6) for 1 hr, dehydrated, and then embedded in Epon 812.Tonofibrils are variable in number and structure according to the different region or location of the gingival epithelial cells, the main orientation of which is parallel to the long axis of the cells. The cytoplasm of the basal epithelial cells contains a great number of tonofilaments and numerous mitochondria. The basement membrane is 300 to 400 A thick. In the cells of stratum spinosum, the tonofibrils are densely packed and increased in number (fig. 1 and 3). They seem to take on a somewhat concentric arrangement around the nucleus. The filaments may occur scattered as thin fibrils in the cytoplasm or they may be arranged in bundles of different thickness. The filaments have a diameter about 50 A. In the stratum granulosum, the cells gradually become flatted, the tonofibrils are usually thin, and the individual tonofilaments are clearly distinguishable (fig. 2). The mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum are seldom seen in these superficial cell layers.

Aldehyde-fixed chick retina was embedded in a water-containing resin of glutaraldehyde and urea, without dehydration. The loss of lipids and other soluble tissue components, which is severe in routine methods involving dehydration, was thereby minimized. Osmium tetroxide post-fixation was not used, lessening the amount of protein denaturation which occurred. Ultrathin sections were stained with 1, uranyl acetate and lead citrate, 2, silicotungstic acid, or 3, osmium vapor, prior to electron microscope examination of visual cell outer segment ultrastructure, at magnifications up to 800,000.Sections stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate (Fig. 1) showed that the individual disc membranes consisted of a central lipid core about 78Å thick in which dark-staining 40Å masses appeared to be embedded from either side.
