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 these traditional dances,
especially the Wali dancE. Meanwhile, the Bali provincial administration and its city and regency
administrations should 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.
