The concentration of total phenolic compounds of the water and ethanol extracts of Yerusalem sage were 9.4 mg/g and 11.1 mg/g respectively. The total antioxidant activities of water and ethanol extracts of Yerusalem sage were 96.8% and 91.4% in ABTS assay and 97.6% and 87.2% in DPPH assay, PF of the water and ethanolic extracts were 1.1 and 1.6, respectively. TBARS were $0.9{\times}10^{-3}\;{\mu}M$ and $0.3{\times}10^{-3}\;{\mu}M$, respectively. Antimicrobial effect against H. pylori of the ethanol extract was $9{\sim}15\;mm$ of clear zone diameter at $50\;{\mu}g/ml{\sim}200\;{\mu}g/ml$ of phenolic compound. Phenolic profiles in Yerusalem sage chlorogenic aicd was the highest both in water and ethanol extracts in HPLC analyses.

Ethanol extracts were prepared from 40 herbs, the extracts of herbs were tested their microbial inhibition activities against Helicobacter pylori. Antimicrobial activity against H. pylori was shown by clear zone and inhibition of cell growth in 24 herbs and 26 herbs extracts. Antimicrobial activity showed the high value in ethanol extracts of Salvia officinalis, Phlomis fruticosa, Creeping Rosemarinus officinalis, Lavandula, Cymtpogan citratus, Rosemarinus officinalis, Cherry Salvia officinalis, Hypericum perforatum, Ruta graveloens, Thymus vulgaris, Oreganum vulgare and Salvia officinalis. Phenol content of herb extracts have high concentration as $134.3-533.33\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to examine the implications of religious activities to longevity in a perspective of religious people in the ancient near east. The major sources of the study are the records of Adad-Guppi in the Neo-Babylonian Empire, prayers of Daniel in the Old Testament and records of Anna in the New Testament. The research method is a synchronic method based on final forms of the texts. Adad-Guppi lived for 104 years with temple-centered lives, fasting-like dedication, prayer and mission for the nation. Daniel fasted and prayed for the return of Jewish nation, and restoration of the city and the temple in Jerusalem, resulting in longevity of late eighties in the court of Babylon. Anna lived for more than 100 years old with her life mission for the messiah in spite of limitations of her times as an old widow. The implications of religious activities with temple-centered lives, fasting, prayer, and mission for the ages are understood to be beneficial to longevity in a perspective of the ancient near east.

Bosnia has a unique political and social structure of 'One State-Two Systems' according to the 'Dayton Peace Agreement'. It is true that since the end of the 1995 civil war, the problem of nation and peace in Bosnia has been attracted by the broad concept of Europe as a whole, beyond the local dimension of the Balkans. Bosnia is a typical 'Mosaic of Religion and Culture' region in Europe. And Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, where various religious and cultural features of Europe are gathered, is called 'Jerusalem in Europe'. For this reason Bosnia has repeated a history of cultural and religious conflict since the Middle Ages. However, before the civil war in the late 20th century, the nations in Bosnia also had experience of 'harmony among various nations, religions and cultures of East and West'. The international community, including the EU, has paid attention to this point as it promotes Bosnia's reconstruction and peace settlement. And these are working to restore the history of harmony among nations in Bosnia today. In the past, research on Bosnia has focused primarily on national conflicts between religions and cultures. However, in this study, I will try to analyze the practical cases of peace settlement and harmony among nations in Bosnia as follows: First, 'Bosnia's accession to the EU' which means active intervention and continued interest of the international community. Second, 'the resolution of war crimes and liquidation of past history' through the end of ICTY mission in December 2017. And third, 'reflection of international society and historical reconciliation of Serbia' through the reinterpretation of the Srebrenica massacre.
