hey guys does anyone know if I have to choose 2 different text genres for my IO? like eg. poem & novel, drama & novel etc. my teacher allowed me to use two novels but I just wanna make sure just in case (im M21 btw)
Hey guys! can "gender roles" be a global issue? Also do you think it is a good idea to talk about a collection of short stories (getting an extract from 1 short story) for the Individual oral?
please help with understanding this ambigous sentence.
There are 7th tip of the oral which sounds: the presence of the global issue in the broader body of work and/or work needs to be explored as much as its presence in the extracts
Does the broader body of work means the whole work, or even the broader sense: context from the world etc
Also: do you understand that while analysing extracts you are allowed to use the whole work to support your main statement or not?
Can someone please help me come up with a global issue? It along the lines of social discrimination. I can't seem to come up with a specific aspect of social discrimination because it's such a broad topic. Thanks
I seriously am trying inside of his class and whenever we get feedback he always says that I'm reaching the deeper implications of the literary texts and that I'm linking back to it the global issue. But when it comes to the actual IO I get a crap score and the feedback is completely different. I legit think that he is srsly Biased towards me because my score is like always one or two levels below the class average. PLS give me advice on how I can improve my score any studying tips and techniques i can use to reach the deeper meaning of a literary text.
Now, we all know that minoxidil has limited efficacy topically, with only 40% showing a positive response due to the necessity of sufficient levels of sulfotransferase in activating the prodrug minoxidil into the active compound minoxidil sulfate. These enzyme levels are genetically determined, and so whether you will respond is largely out of your control.
When applying topically we are relying on sufficient enzyme levels being present in the skin, as we are avoiding first pass metabolism, however when consumed orally minoxidil undergoes extensive first pass hepatic metabolism into the active minoxidil sulfate. Because of this, it should be of no surprise that response rates are drastically higher than with topical use.
In male androgenic alopecia, Lueangarun et al. studied the use of a 5 mg daily dose. Measured over 24 weeks, photographs showed 100% improvement with 43% of men having “remarkable” improvement. With a longer duration of treatment, more patients showed remarkable improvement.
Similarly, Jimenez-Cuahe et al., studied male AGA treated with 5 mg or 2.5 mg daily dose. In a subgroup of patients treated with oral minoxidil monotherapy, mostly at 5 mg, 100% showed clinical improvement with 37.5% showing marked improvement.
Lower doses typically used for female hair loss, such as 0.25mg, are less effective in men with Pirmez and Salas-Callo finding improvement or mere stabilization in only 40-60% of male patients treated.
They DID however find that 52% of subjects reported perception of increased hair density in the beard. It therefore seems likely that the higher doses used for hair loss in men, 2.5-5mg, would display even greater efficacy in improving beard growth or density, possibly closer to the 100% rates observed for hair loss at this dose.
Oral minoxidil is typically used as a hypertension treatment, with doses generally being in the 10-40mg range, with side effects in this range being of greater concern. Side effects in the 2.5-5mg range used in the these studies can include hypertrichosis (~1/5th of patients), and more rarely edema (~3%) or cardiopulmonary side effects (1%), as can be seen with some responders to topical minoxidil. No severe cardiopulmonary events were reported in any study for this use.
The use of these low doses for androgenic alopecia was assessed in a systematic review by Randolf & Tosti 2020 published last month, concluding that **oral minoxidil has promising results as an effective

In Spain (and France), the Basques have bertsolaritza. In certain Catalan speaking regions like Valencia, Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, glosa. In Galicia, regueifa.
These are improvised on the spot sung poetry, usually with two or more people having a 'debate' or riffing with other, with a topic that is given to them.

Are there published collections of Kikuyu oral literature? For example, did anyone collect and write down folk tales, songs, poems?
I'm looking for any example of this, and it can be any format or level: popular and academic, for children and for adults, etc. It can be in English and in Kikuyu.
Thanks!
I'll try to be clearer. In English, for example, there agreement that Shakespeare is high grade English literature. Does anyone know of high grade works (like Shakespeare-ish or so level) that is from oral tradition? Thanks!
Hello /r/AskAnthropology,
I am Sociology and Social Anthropology student and currently I'm about to start thinking about a topic of my bachelor thesis.
I am interested in linguistic anthropology and one of the ideas was to work with tales about haunting entities and how their characteristics is affected by culture. For example, I find very interesting Japanese demon Kappa can be defeated by bowing to it while modern urban myth demon Kuchisake-onna can be defeated by apologizing for being in hurry. Both could be interpreted probably as a sign of importance of politeness in Japanese culture. Etc.
At the time, it's just a tentative question. I still wonder about the topic and am not decided. However, is there any relevant literature on this topic making it worth to think further about it?
Thank you for answers.
I'm interested in oral literature and how it's different from written literature. You can recommend me books about oral literature, or that contain oral literature. They can be from any culture. Recordings of oral literature are cool too, even if they're on youtube or some site or CD form or whatever.
In particular, I'd love to hear or watch a good performance of the Griot/Jali literature of Mali, like the story of Sundiata. I already have it in book form.
I'm thinking of books like this.
Thanks a lot Reddit.
