Multidimensional assessment of cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults
Introduction: Motor-cognitive dual-task performance is closely related to age-related changes in cognitive and motor function. Community-based approaches combining cognitive screening with neurophysiological and nutritional assessment may help characterize cognitive health in older adults. This study explored the feasibility of combining prefrontal oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) responses measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIR…

“The source of good forces is located in the east…”
This paper deals with the concept of the universe and belief in spiritual beings among contemporary Sakha (Yakut) shamans. It is based on field data collected in 1994 among several shamans of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).

The paper argues …

The relationship between recent cultural revitalization movements and shamanism in a broad sense, as well as the revival of rituals, focussing especially on the ysyakh festival, are exa…
The Rulings of the Night

But in the course of several years of fieldwork he learned from the shamans that bot…
Through Dialogue with Contemporary Yakut Shamans
In this article I indicate the revitalization of Yakut worldview based on dialogues with contemporary shamans in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in 1994. Dualistic views of the world are emerging: the real and the spiritual worlds, and the separate concepts of good and evil spiritual beings. Also, the relation between man and spiritual beings has become idealized as a symbiotic relation between man and nature. This new animistic idea has resulted…
