An Analysis of Metaphors in Sri Burapha’s Behind the Painting and Ma Ma Lay’s Not Out of Hate

This research is a comparative study of metaphors in two Asian novels. A Thai novel, Sri Burapha’s Behind the Painting was first published in 1954 and a Burmese novel, Ma Ma Lay’s Not Out of Hate in 1991. It aims to understand various metaphorical patterns that influence the thematic development and interpretations of these novels. Pragglejaz Group’s (2007) Metaphor Identification Procedure, Ahrens’ (2002) The Conceptual Mapping Model, and Lakoff’s (1992) The Contemporary Theory of Metaphor are chosen as the frameworks of data analysis in this study.The outcome endorses the idea that different metaphorical patterns are the result of interaction between words’ conventional meaning and their contexts. The top three shared themes found are the themes of LOVE, MORALITY, and IDEALISM. It is also found that the representation of Thai and Burmese cultures can be perceived through the cultural background and lifestyle of the writers via their selection of words in these two novels

Aim: Controversies and disagreement exist on conventional treatment strategies of haemorrhoids due to relapse, inefficacy, and complications. We intend to evaluate role of individualized homoeopathic treatment in haemorrhoids. Methods: In this prospective, open, observational trial, haemorrhoids patients were treated using 5 standardized scales measuring complaints severity and anoscopic score. It was conducted at two homoeopathic hospitals in India during mid-July 2014 to mid-July 2015. Patients were intervened as per individualized homoeopathic principles and followed up every month up to 6 months. Results: Total 73 were screened, 52 enrolled, 38 completed, 14 dropped out. Intention to treat population (n=52) was analyzed in the end. Statistically significant reductions of mean bleeding [month 3: -21.8, 95% CI -30.3, -13.3, P [J Complement Med Res 2016; 5(4.000): 335-342
