The Value and Development of the Original Ecological Cultural Resources of the Gelao
Show Abstract
Abstract
The Gelao people are rich in original ecological cultural resources, including original ecological residential culture, original ecological sacrificial culture, original ecological wedding custom culture, etc. The article uses semistructured in-depth interviews and experiential observation methods to study
the differential value, scarcity value and liveness value of the Gelao people’s
original ecological cultural resources, aiming to transform the Gelao people’s
apparent cultural resources from the perspective of tourism development As a
direct cultural capital, it will further transform potential resource advantages
into obvious development advantages, so that culture can get a new life in
development

Genetic Geography of the Historical Ancestors of the Chuvash
Show Abstract
Abstract
Discourses concerning the ethnic history of the Chuvash, their origins, and their distant ancestors, have emerged over the course of three centuries. In the 21st century, the science of genetics began to play a major role in this discussion. In the present article, the author, relying on the achievements of genetic geographers, attempts to provide insights into a profoundly difficult nexus of problems and issues. Today it is accepted as a given that the historical ancestors of the Chuvash people—the Savars/Savirs/Suvars, had lived in the Caucasus Mountain region as far back as the 2nd–8th centuries CE. For this reason, research on the ethnogenesis of the Chuvash in the context of the genome history of the Caucasian peoples is more than warranted. There is also no doubt that the genetic lines of this region came directly out of the Near East. This is especially true of males, as it was the male population that first embarked on the migration process. Research has shown that the haplotype frequency of the Chuvash includes components from the Caucasus, Central Europe, Eurasia, and the Mediterranean. Among those, however, haplotypes of Turkish peoples have also been discovered. During the centuries-long contact with peoples of the Middle Volga region, neighboring peoples also had a genetic influence on them. As a result, the original gene pool of the Chuvash people carries traces that are characteristic of the ancient Caucasus, Near East, and Northern Mesopotamia.

A Study of Nutritional Status and Obesity among the Adult Nepalese of Karseong, Darjeeling District, West Bengal, India
Show Abstract
Abstract
Obesity is one of the most challenging chronic disease threats facing our country today. It has profound health and economic consequences for our patients and our country. In clinical practice, overweight and obesity are diagnosed by body mass index (BMI), which represents a measure of a patient’s weight for their height. There are various reasons why people became fatty and gain overweight. It is a medical problem associated with environmental and socio-economic factors. In some factors, people seem to under nourish and in some conditions people became obese. In this paper, I find out some causes which affect our body, especially daily lifestyle. I need to take some anthropometric measurements to check their nutritional status and I did some statistical analysis to experiment with the interrelationship between BMI (body mass index) and anthropometry. Which one is better to calculate obesity, BMI or Anthropometry was my aim to find out. I did my experiment on the population of the hilly area. I did work among 106 individuals cross-sectionally. As result, I got a strong relationship between BMI and anthropometry. After all, this study proves WC indicates better fat distribution .

An Anthropological Demographic Study on the Sociocultural Causes of Covid-19 Spread among the Highly Educated in Egypt: Five Case Studies from Cair
Show Abstract
Abstract
Covid-19 is a disastrous pandemic that broke out into the world in 2019, and continued to spread until the date of this paper in 2021. However, the prediction of the onset of its symptoms did not always mitigate its spread. Though it
was believed that the highly educated, with their hygienic precautions and health awareness were far from being infected by most infectious diseases, they could not escape its psychological and social effects. This paper aimed to
uncover some of the possible reasons behind the infection of five cases from three traditional families chosen as examples to share in explaining the causes of the spread of this pandemic among a vulnerable cross-section of the middle aged and elderly highly educated, where the researcher passed through that experience in Cairo Egypt, since the early of April to the late of May 2021. Through the theory of Jennifer Johnson-Hanks with its application of
demographic anthropology perspective, this study highlighted the importance of social and cultural factors in explaining causes and effects of demographic data, in addition to potential solutions as future precautions for that Pandemic.
