Bridging differences in a divided world
WANG XIAOYING/CHINA DAILY In Western thought, dating back to the Greeks, there has been a strong tendency toward binary thinking — yes or no, right or wrong, true or false, God and the devil, and left and right in politics. This dichotomous mindset extends into various aspects of Western ideology, including international relations. Therefore, Western nations often adopt a confrontational posture toward others, viewing interactions as competitions where one side must be right and the other wrong.

Anthropology can be an alleviator of anxiety
WANG XIAOYING/CHINA DAILY Until recently, anthropology wasn't something that the general population knew much about. It's only really in the last few years that it has become quite well-known and popular, and people have gone to study it in some numbers at universities. I've been an anthropologist for some 40 or 50 years, and what I tell my students is that anthropology is the study of the other. It's a study of other civilizations, other communities and other societies, based on comparisons.
Japonsko za zrcadlem - Alan Macfarlane
O knize Japonsko za zrcadlem Když se antropolog Alan Macfarlane setkal s Japonskem poprvé, připadal si jako Alenka v Říši divů a zatoužil zemi, její kultuře a zvykům více porozumět. V této knize nás provází všemi stránkami japonské společnosti, od těch nejobecnějších až po ty nejintimnější. Postupně před námi odkrývá mnohostrannou povahu této země a jejích obyvatel. Bez sentimentu a s čestností nám ukazuje Japonsko tak, jak ještě nikdo před ním.

Evaluation of the impact of assistive artificial intelligence on ultrasound scanning for regional anaesthesia
Abstract Background Ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia relies on the visualisation of key landmark, target, and safety structures on ultrasound. However, this can be challenging, particularly for inexperienced practitioners. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being applied to medical image interpretation, including ultrasound.
Does regional anaesthesia improve outcome?
Abstract Outcome after surgery is of interest to the patient, the surgeon and the healthcare institution. There is conclusive evidence that regional anaesthesia is associated with superior analgesic outcomes compared to opioid-based analgesic techniques and may also reduce chronic pain. While better pain control and avoiding a general anaesthetic may alone be regarded as significant outcome benefits, regional anaesthesia and analgesia may influence many other important outcomes.

Flowery, rustic, tippy, smokey
Long before I’d had any thoughts about the importance of ceremony, I understood the nature of a cup of tea. As a child in a very small flat with two argumentative parents, a cup of tea – one of the normal eight to ten cups a day – meant that they were getting on or making up: nobody suggested tea in the middle of a fight or in the sullen unresolved aftermath. Tea was recuperative, it made things better, or it celebrated uneventfulness, emphasising that nothing was wrong.
