Listening to the US Hispanic/Latino (Latina) Sermon Listener
This paper presents the findings of an ethnographic study on preaching within the US Hispanic/Latino (Latina) community.1 The study explored the preaching event from the experience of the listener. The US Hispanic/ Latino (Latina) sermon listener represents a unique group of individuals that have a particular experience of preaching, which can provide insights on how preaching constitutes a vehicle for shaping and re-shaping a religious and social community. Through the use of in-depth interviews of a diverse group of US Hispanic/Latino (Latina) sermon listeners a series of characteristics of a good sermon were identified
Green tea polyphenols supplementation and Tai Chi exercise for postmenopausal osteopenic women: safety and quality of life report
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Evidence suggests that both green tea polyphenols (GTP) and Tai Chi (TC) exercise may benefit bone health in osteopenic women. However, their safety in this population has never been systematically investigated. In particular, there have been hepatotoxicity concerns related to green tea extract. This study was to evaluate the safety of 24 weeks of GTP supplementation combined with TC exercise in postmenopausal osteopenic women, along with effects on quality of life in this population.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>171 postmenopausal women with osteopenia were randomly assigned to 4 treatment arms for 24 weeks: (1) Placebo (500 mg starch/day), (2) GTP (500 mg GTP/day), (3) Placebo + TC (placebo plus TC training at 60 min/session, 3 sessions/week), and (4) GTP + TC (GTP plus TC training). Safety was examined by assessing liver enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase), alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin at baseline and every 4 weeks. Kidney function (urea nitrogen and creatinine), calcium, and inorganic phosphorus were also assessed at the same times. Qualify of life using SF-36 questionnaire was evaluated at baseline, 12, and 24 weeks. A mixed model of repeated measures ANOVA was applied for analysis.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>150 subjects completed the study (12% attrition rate). The compliance rates for study agents and TC exercise were 89% and 83%, respectively. Neither GTP supplementation nor TC exercise affected liver or kidney function parameters throughout the study. No adverse event due to study treatment was reported by the participants. TC exercise significantly improved the scores for role-emotional and mental health of subjects, while no effect on quality of life was observed due to GTP supplementation.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>GTP at a dose of 500 mg/day and/or TC exercise at 3 hr/week for 24 weeks appear to be safe in postmenopausal osteopenic women, particularly in terms of liver and kidney functions. TC exercise for 24 weeks (3 hr/wk) significantly improved quality of life in terms of role-emotional and mental health in these subjects. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00625391.</p

Esuchando al Oyente Hispano(a)/Latino(a) del Serm贸n el los EEUU
Este ensayo presenta los resultados de un estudio etnogr谩fico sobre la predicaci贸n entre la comunidad Hispana/Latina de los EEUU. El estudio explor贸 el evento de la predicaci贸n desde la perspectiva del oyente. En los EEUU el oyente Hispano(a)/Latino(a) del serm贸n representa un grupo 煤nico de individuos que tienen una experiencia particular de la predicaci贸n, que puede proporcionar ideas sobre c贸mo la predicaci贸n constituye un veh铆culo para dar forma y re-formar una comunidad religiosa y social. Una serie de caracter铆sticas de un buen serm贸n fueron identificadas mediante el uso de entrevistas en profundidad a un grupo diverso de oyentes Hispanos(as)/Latinos(as) del serm贸n
