Lytta zubovi sp. nov., a new species of Meloidae from Crimea (Ukraine) is described and figured. The species is dimorphic, with the female, known only from a photograph, brachyelytrous and probably apterous. It is tentatively placed in the genus Lytta Fabricius, 1775, waiting for a revision of the tribe Lyttini. According to the present concept of Lytta, the new species is similar to the Holarctic subgenus Poreospasta Horn, 1868, never recorded from Europe, even though it is strictly different, particularly in the head and pronotum shape, and the dimorphic condition of wings.

Examination of ongoing pathology in patient’s body is quite essential for a physician to calculate the estimation the dose of drug. But examination method mentioned in Ayurveda is incomplete without using the present concept of Aturaparijnana Hetu. With the help of Aturaparijnana Hetu the traditional methods of person understanding (the Dashavidha Pariksha) become more accurate and powerful. Aturaparijnaana Hetu gives standard of a person. In this way, examination method acquires the foundation; designed for grading. In short, person’s residual strength can be documented. These article is intended to highlight the research work through survey study that how can a group is identify by their respective Desha and their role in Dashavidha Pariksha. Dehabala and Doshabala are assessing by this methods.

AbstractThis article reassesses the grammatically problematic half-line prologa prima (l. 89a) in the Old English wisdom poem Solomon and Saturn I, and suggests that it ought to be emended to the grammatically viable reading of “prologa prim”. Line 89 a introduces a passage in which the words of the Pater Noster become anthropomorphised as warriors and attack the devil. I will argue that “prologa prim” is an exegetical exercise, informed by grammatical theory and liturgical practice, designed for an audience of monastic readers. This multivalent half-line offers different levels of meaning when read according to different permutations of language and metaphor, in a process analogous to the interpretation of scripture according to the influential model of fourfold exegesis. When read literally, as ‘the first of the initial letters’, “prologa prim” indicates the unfolding and time-bound process of reading. Previous scholars (Anlezark 2009; Anderson 1998) have noted the allusive references in line 89 a to Greek logos (‘word’) and Old English prim (‘first hour’, ‘Prime office’), but not their full significance. Through these allusions, the reader shifts from a literal reading to a spiritual and metaphorical reading of the half-line, achieving a diachronic perspective of the Pater Noster’s recitation across time, and finally an atemporal perspective, reading in line 89 a a paraphrase of John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word”. In conjunction with the subsequent episode of the battle, line 89 a forms an exemplum of the monastic practice of lectio divina. This example of ‘monastic poetics’ (O’Camb 2014; Niles 2019) moves from grammatical analysis to a vision of the Word.

The direct decompression limits for a group of divers over a range of pressure-time air exposures was determined using ultrasonic detection of venous gas emboli (VGE). In addition to dry chamber exposures, ranging from 233 ft for 7 min to 25 ft for 720 min, we exposed six divers to open ocean dives at 165 ft for 10 min. Findings demonstrated a strong individual propensity to form VGE, correlating with susceptibility to bends. No bends developed without the prior detection of precordial VGE. The present concept of no problems after any period of time at 30 fsw was not confirmed. Isopleths of equal percentage occurrence of VGE were computed between 10 and 60%. Open ocean exposures increased the percentage of VGE and bends, when compared to dry chamber exposures. Limiting tissue half times computed from the 20% VGE isopleth suggested that saturation exposures are controlled by a greater sensitivity of the short-half-time tissues than previously appreciated, rather than by additionally extended half times.

Kult chrześcijański jest kultem na wzór Jezusa Chrystusa i w zjednoczeniu z Nim (Rz 12, 1). Dlatego najpełniejszym wyrazem kultu w Kościele jest Eucharystia. W niej uobecnia się sakramentalnie jedyna i raz na zawsze dokonana ofiara Chrystusa, czyli Jego życie w posłuszeństwie i oddaniu się Ojcu, które ma swe spełnienie w śmierci na krzyżu. Uczestnictwo wiernych w Eucharystii polega na naśladownictwie Jezusa w posłuszeństwie Ojcu, czyli na składaniu duchowych ofiar, które Jezus włącza w swą jedyną ofiarę. Uczestnictwo w Eucharystii jako szczególne wyzwanie w okresie pandemii nie tylko ze względu na trudności z fizycznym uczestnictwem, ale też możliwie pełnym uczestnictwem pozasakramentalnym, czyli na odległość. Pierwszym ważnym warunkiem jest pragnienie sakramentalnego uczestnictwa i zjednoczenia z Chrystusem, czyli komunia duchowa. Pomocne w tym są transmisje Mszy przez środki przekazu. Kolejnymi istotnymi warunkami takiego uczestnictwa są towarzyszące mu pragnienie nieustannego nawracania się (ukierunkowanie życia na Boga) oraz zaangażowanie na różnych płaszczyznach w życie Kościoła. Za szczególny filar takiego uczestnictwa pozasakramentalnego należy uznać rozważnie słowa Bożego w formie lectio divina. Wierny ma prawo czytać księgi Pisma św. w dowolnej kolejności. Jednak najbardziej eklezjalną lekturą Biblii jest ta, ukierunkowana na codzienną Eucharystię. Pojedynczy wierny karmi się tym słowem, które danego dnia jest skierowane do całego Kościoła.
