Christian Bromberger Hair: From the West to the Middle East through the Mediterranean (The 2007 AFS Mediterranean Studies Section Address) From shaving to curling, from the concealment of hair to its ostentatious display, hair lends itself to a wide assortment of arrangements. It is uniquely suited for expressing status difference, relations among kin, group membership, and both the submission to and refusal of predominant social, political, and religious norms. Its fashioning entails, among other things, a striking aesthetic affinity with gardening and home decoration. From the West to the Middle East through the Mediterranean, this article explores the symbolic significances that societies attribute to this hotly debated physical characteristic and, more broadly, the interplay between voluntary social practices and culturally imposed rules of conduct. Why the interest in hair? Over the course of a scholar’s life, research topics and areas of interest change. I have studied such issues as soccer in southern Europe, the iden- tity of a province in northern Iran, and a variety of Mediterranean issues, and with each shift I have found that some topics begged my attention even though I initially had little interest in them.

  • THE LESSER PARTS of the TORAH (LAW) EXPLAINED by George Lujack
    THE LESSER PARTS OF THE TORAH (LAW) EXPLAINED By George Lujack The lesser parts of the Torah (law) have been declared as burdensome and obsolete by mainstream Christians, and have often been used as an excuse to declare that all of God’s ‘Mosaic laws’ are abolished. In these end times, some Christian ministers have been saying that God’s Ten Commandments need to be done away with also. This article will discuss some of the lesser parts of God’s laws, explain how they apply to us today, and address how some of these laws have been misinterpreted and incorrectly practiced. HEAD SHAVING LEVITICUS 19:27: You shall not shave around the sides of your head … LEVITICUS 21:5: They shall not make any bald place on their heads… Tonsure is known as the practice of shaving most of the male scalp and leaving a ring of hair around the head. This was a specific practice within medieval Catholicism, which was abandoned by a papal order in 1972. Tonsure is still practiced today by some religious orders within Catholicism, the Eastern Orthodox Church, Buddhist monks, Islamists, and Hindus. The purpose of the tonsure head shaved hairstyle is to show a renunciation of worldliness, display humbleness, and devotion to one’s religious order. God has commanded man to not shave around the sides of his head. God does not accept this form of piousness for obvious spiritual reasons. Shaving around the scalp and the sides of the head gives a man a halo image. God’s law does not allow for a false image of holiness, a halo effect to be projected upon a man, which constitutes a form of idolatry.

  • Trichoscopy Simplified Ebtisam Elghblawi*
    Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] 12 The Open Dermatology Journal, 2015, 9, 12-20 Open Access Trichoscopy Simplified Ebtisam Elghblawi* Dermatology OPD, STJTL, Tripoli, Libya Abstract: It has been a long while since skin surfaces and skin lesions have been examined by dermoscopy. However examining the hair and the scalp was done again recently and gained attention and slight popularity by the practical tool, namely trichoscopy, which can be called in a simplified way as a dermoscopy of the hair and the scalp. Trichoscopy is a great tool to examine and asses an active scalp disease and hair and other signs can be specific for some scalp and hair diseases. These signs include yellow dots, dystrophic hairs, cadaverized (black dots), white dots and exclamation mark hairs. Trichoscopy magnifies hair shafts at higher resolution to enable detailed examinations with measurements that a naked eye cannot distinguish nor see. Trichoscope is considered recently the newest frontier for the diagnosis of hair and scalp disease. Aim of this paper. The aim of this paper is to simplify and sum up the main trichoscopic readings and findings of hair and scalp disorders that are commonly encountered at clinic dermatology settings. Keywords: Dermoscopy, diagnosis, hair, hair loss, scalp dermoscopy, trichoscopy. INTRODUCTION Any dermatology clinic will be quite busy and in many instances faced with many patients mostly women complaining of hair loss, which can have significant effects on their self-esteem and quality of life. A normal terminal hair is identical in thickness and colour right through its length (Fig. 1). The width of normal hairs is usually more than 55 mm.

With the analysis responses from Y izhou Liu Lara Leijtens facial recognition APIs and supervised machine Technical University of Eindhoven Technical University of Eindhoven learning, a relation between facial features and [email protected] [email protected] hairstyle is ought to be found in this project, so that a hairstyle recommender system, called “hAIr”, can be created. The system recommends hairstyles that suit the individual’s characteristics. This is based on a neural network learning algorithm, which is trained with features, extracted from 1060 images of people, relating to 53 different hairstyles. The trained network reaches an accuracy of 28.10% when validated with images that were not used for training. This can be improved by trying different combinations of input variables, or using a different conversion for the values that were gained from the APIs. It is also possible that the APIs are not completely accurate. A third possibility for improvement would be to use a different learning algorithm, such as k-Nearest Neighbors or naive Bayes.
