Mahadeva Rao 2 and Nordin Simbak 2 1Department of Biochemistry, Prof. Dhanapalan College of Arts and Science, Chennai, India 2Faculty of Medicine and Health Science, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin, Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Preceding work in our laboratory has revealed that scopoletin, one of the main bioactive coumarin from fruits of Morinda citrifolia, exerts anti-diabetic activity in in vitro partly by averting α glucosidase and α amylase action. However, its aorto/vaso protective impact-based research is still incomprehensible. The present study looks into the regulatory efficacy of scopoletin on aortic lipid profile, radical scavenging status, endothelial factors and aortic morphology in dyslipidemic rats. Rats fed with normal diet serve as control [Group (G) 1], rats fed with cholesterol- enriched diet (CED) (4 % cholesterol and 1 % cholic acid) for 45 days (G2), rats fed with CED for 45 days + scopoletin (10 mg/kg, body weight/day orally) for the last 30 days (G3) and scopoletin alone rats (G4). Blood and aortic tissue were taken immediately and used for various biochemical, histological and molecular analyses. A pronounced increase in the levels of aortic lipid profile, lipid peroxidation along with substantial suppression in the activities of aortic antioxidant and endothelial factor was observed in G2.

Black December, 2012 ii BRITAIN’S CAMP: THE BRITISH NATIONALIST NARRATIVE OF BERGEN-BELSEN BY DORIS ZINKEISEN ___________________________ An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Art History University of Houston ___________________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Art History ___________________________ By Rebecka A. Black December, 2012 iii ABSTRACT British painter Doris Zinkeisen (1889 – 1991) is largely unknown to art history. Therefore, her paintings done as a commissioned war artist (1941 – 1945) have yet to be adequately examined. The majority of these 14 works are easily understood as nationalist propaganda as they depict the relief work of British forces in Europe. However, Doris Zinkeisen also produced three paintings of the Nazi concentration camp at Bergen- Belsen: Belsen: April, 1945, Human Laundry and The Burning of Belsen, which have been interpreted as harrowing works of Holocaust art. This thesis examines these three works by Zinkeisen and argues they are best understood as nationalist propaganda for Britain. This thesis seeks to expand the art historical scholarship on an unremembered, yet prolific artist. Second, it contributes research to the study of British commissioned war-time art. Finally, it reclaims nationalist propaganda too long misunderstood as Holocaust art. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 Memory of Belsen through Nationalism 2 British Commissioned War Art 6 Zinkeisen and the Belsen Narrative 7 Setting the Stage 8 Act I: Belsen: April, 1945 15 The Problem 15 Society of Spectacle 23 Act II: Human Laundry 31 German vs.

    A MAGAZINE ABOUT THE LIFE AND WORK OF SIR NOËL COWARD • MAY 2012 News and views of the Star Quality exhibition - and the ‘Noël Coward in New York’ festival. GOLDENHURST LunEch wnith cJuoliaun Cnlatry eatr Geodldenhurst and a review of his recently-published novel ‘Briefs Encountered’. Noël Coward at ‘Look Out’ - Firefly, Jamaica PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY THE INTERNATIONAL NOËL COWARD SOCIETY - 1- www.noëlcoward.net hat an amazing month March was! Apart from reasonable weather, two of the most significant events for me marked an early opening of Spring EDITORIAL long before an Easter chick was a wink in a cockerel’s eye. Out of the blue came a charming invitation from Julian Clary for the officers of the Society to visit The Old Manor - but forever Goldenhurst in the eye of the Coward faithful - for lunch and a celebration of the completed renovation of Noël’s country retreat in Kent and the publication of Julian’s novel Briefs Encountered. As Daniel Massey said once about an invitation to Noël’s for lunch, “Well, you don’t turn that down!” And we didn’t! More on the visit in this edition. The climax of the month was the opening of Star Quality - The World of Noël Coward at the Lincoln Center in New York. This exhibition has been rightly trumpeted in Home Chat for the past few editions and the result did not let the herald down. This really is an impressive achievement. As a result of an initial partnership between the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts (NYPL) and The Noël Coward Foundation (NCF) the idea was born - and together with other partners - the exhibition was created.

  • From Tone to Accent
    This page intentionally left blank Matthew Chen’s landmark study offers the most comprehensive analysis to date of the rich and complex patterns of tone used in Chinese languages. Chinese has a wide repertoire of tones which undergo often surprising changes when they are connected in speech flow. The term tone sandhi refers to this tonal alternation. Chen examines tone sandhi phenomena in detail across a variety of Chinese dialects. He explores a range of important theoretical issues such as the nature of tonal representation, the relation of tone to accent, the prosodic domain of sandhi rules, and the interface between syntax and phonology. His book is the culmination of a ten-year research project and offers a wealth of empirical data not previously accessible to linguists. Extensive references and a bibliography on tone sandhi complete this invaluable resource which will be welcomed as a standard reference on Chinese tone. Having taught for many years at the University of California, San Diego, is Professor and chair of Linguistics and Dean of the Humanities and Social Sciences faculty at the City University of Hong Kong. He has written numerous articles on linguistics and is Associate Editor of the Journal of Chinese Linguistics, University of California, Berkeley.

  • The African Telatelist
    The African Telatelist Newsletter 206 of the African Telately Association – August 2015. ___________________________________________________________________________ Frogs & Toads - (C.Edwards & W.Stobrawe) The differences between frogs and toads are very few and are not always clear. Frogs are generally described as small, smooth-skinned, hairless, cold-blooded, carnivorous amphibian creatures of the order SALIENTIA, especially the web-footed aquatic species of the genus RANA and allied genera. Above: (Frog phonecards cards from Holland, Switzerland, Poland,Spain, Turkey and Sweden.) Toads are mostly all of the above, but are terrestrial creatures, of the genus BUFO and related genera. Toads usually have broader, flatter bodies than frogs. They can also be covered in warts, whereas frogs have smooth skins. -3- They are found in every continent except Antarctica and in the harshest of deserts. Generally speaking frogs and toads lay their eggs in or near water. These hatch to become tadpoles which feed on small aquatic life forms, insects and their lava. Within a season they lose their tails, grow legs and emerge from the water as tiny adults. Adults range in size from 1,3cm to 30cm. The largest being the Goliath from West Africa. They live on insects and spiders which they catch with their long sticky tongues. They have long hind legs which assist with swimming and jumping and have the ability to breathe through both their lungs and their skin. As a protection against predators, many secrete a noxious substance through their skin. Most of these substances just leave a bad taste in the mouth of the predator, but some are poisonous and have been used as dart and arrow poisons by people in the tropics.

  • WONG CHEE MENG [F]Ortune of Lives
    WONG CHEE MENG [F]ortune of Lives Wei-LingGallery 1 [F]ortune of Lives WONG CHEE MENG 2 3 I became fascinated with Chinese values and practices ever since I started researching into it over the past six months. I learn a lot from sightings and I am very much attracted to visuals containing shapes, forms, colours, textures et cetera. Beautiful visuals are discovered through sight, normally through observation. Various elements in forms of patterns and motifs can be found in this series of my artworks, mostly a result of my looking, seeing and observing. “Form” generally refers to the shape and structure of art. The innovation of form in this series is creation from creativity, meaning to look into the basic characteristics of traditional auspicious patterns, then recreating its core form with elements, and restructuring new form with the use of abstraction, interception, variation, rearranging compositions and recombination with some other method. Every new form that exists is comprised of a combination of various elements. Some look weird, some look illogical and some look hilarious. Those elements are derived from questioning being a Chinese and seeing the world through the eyes of a Chinese. Besides feelings of translation (what I feel when I look at these elements), boundless experiences through contact with auspicious elements I happened to come across at Chinese coffee shops have become my inspiration. Thereby it becomes an elevation from everyday life into art, as it reflects, reforms my mental image, and is then made visible on canvases. Moreover, I have also done in-depth research on huge values of our traditional elements, and also adding new thoughts into traditional elements resulting in more brilliant surprises and combinations.

  • An Exhibition Curated by History of Art MA Students 4 May to Autumn 2018
    An exhibition curated by History of Art MA students 4 May to Autumn 2018 In Character: Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, 1937 - 1973 Introduction Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh were amongst the biggest names in British theatre and film in the twentieth century. After meeting in 1937, the couple began a passionate love affair which resulted in a marriage that spanned two decades. During and after marriage they continued to have successful careers on stage and screen collaborating together on many productions, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1949), The School for Scandal (1949) and Macbeth (1955). While their acting made the duo’s roles iconic, the costumes designed for them to wear on stage further consolidated their illustrious theatrical stature. The University of Bristol Theatre Collection holds a fascinating array of objects related to Olivier and Leigh, which reveal the relationship between actor, character, and costume, as well as the close relationships they shared with costume designers. Through a display of photographs, illustrations, and costume pieces, we see the inventiveness and skill behind the illuminating designs which bridge the gap between actor and character. With the help of designers such as Oliver Messel, Cecil Beaton, Doris Zinkeisen and Julia Trevelyan Oman, Olivier and Leigh completed their transformations to become ‘in character’. 2 Biographies Laurence Olivier (1907 - 1989) is perhaps the best-known stage actor of the twentieth century. He began his West End acting career in the 1930s and by the end of the decade he had established himself as a star of both stage and screen. He had tremendous range and was celebrated for his portrayals of classic roles such as Hamlet and Richard III, and for his less conventional roles, such as sleazy vaudeville comedian, Archie Rice, in The Entertainer (1957).
