Nine traditional Balinese dances have been recognized as part of the
world’s intangible cultural heritage following a UNESCO session in
Namibia on Wednesday.
Balinese dances included on the list were the Barong Ket, Joged
Bumbung, Legong Keraton, Topeng Sidhakarya, Baris Upacara,
Sanghyang Dedari and Rejang dances, as well as the Wayang Wong and
Gambuh dance dramas.
“We are very pleased with the recognition; it enables Bali to receive
protection in terms of traditional dance preservation as well as economic
benefits in the future,” said Bali Cultural Agency head Dewa Putu
Beratha on Wednesday night as quoted by Antara news agency.
During the UNESCO session, Indonesia’s proposal regarding the dances
reportedly ranked 18th among a total of 35 countries. “The nine dances
represent Balinese dance as a whole based on their historical concept,
function and style,” said Dewa.
According to Dewa, the Rejang, Sanghyang Dedari and Baris Upacara
dances represented the Wali dance, which is usually performed during
processions. Meanwhile, the Topeng Sidhakarya dance and Gambuh and
Wayang Wong dance dramas are part of the Bebali dance, known as a
semi-sacred and ceremonial dancE. The Legong Keraton, Joged
Bumbung and Barong Ket dances are a representation of the Balih-
Balihan dance that serves social and entertainment purposes.
The Wali dance is said to have originated between the eighth and 14th
centuries. The Bebali dance and Balih-Balihan dances are believed to
have come from the 14th-19th century and 19th centuries, respectively.
“The community has actively played an important role in preserving

increase their role in preserving the Bebali and Balih-Balihan dances
during tourist events,” said Dewa.

(Reuters Health) – Half of all heart patients made at least one
medication-related mistake after leaving the hospital, and guidance from
a pharmacist didn’t seem to reduce those errors, in a new study.
Consequences of mistakes – such as forgetting to take certain drugs or
taking the wrong dose – can range from side effects like constipation to
more serious drops in blood pressure. Two percent of errors were life-
threatening.
Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent
medication mistakes in addition to the extra pharmacist intervention,
said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the study’s lead author from the Vanderbilt
University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
“We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent
(of patients) were still having these medication errors,” he told Reuters
Health.
Although the pharmacist visits didn’t help the average patient, he added,
certain ones seemed to benefit – such as patients who were on multiple
drugs or had trouble understanding health information.
As for traditionally lower-risk patients, he said other strategies to
prevent errors may be needed.
