Published: November 2022

Background: Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is the most common musculoskeletal condition diagnosed in neonates. Different timings and approaches to screening for DDH are used in the orthopedic community. Objectives: To provide evidence that DDH can be screened using sonarograph at the age of 2 months to decrease the risk of misdiagnosed DDH and determine the most common method of treatment regarding the radiological screening the infants underwent. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study that targeted all infants at risk of DDH who were born between 01-01-2019 to 31-12-2020 at Abha Maternity and Children Hospital (AMCH), Abha, Saudi Arabia. Included in the study were newborns who underwent radiological screening for hip with known risk factors for DDH. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the hospital electronic system. These data included subjects' age and sex, documented ultrasonography screening, documented X-ray diagnosis of DDH, and type of treatment. Results: A total of 201 infants (101 female, 100 male) aged from one day to six months (mean age 51.46 days, standard deviation 19.21 days) were included in the study. Ultrasonography screening revealed 40 subjects (19.9%) with positive DDH findings. X-rays done at age 4 to 6 months confirmed 26 (12.9%) DDH cases. Ultrasonography correctly detected 24 (11.9%) and excluded 159 (79.1) patients with DDH. However, two cases (1.0%) were not detected by ultrasonography and were later detected by X-ray, and 16 cases (8.0%) were falsely detected as positive DDH. Twenty-five subjects (12.4%) were treated conservatively, and one subject (0.5%) was treated surgically. Twenty-four cases of DDH showed hip abnormalities on ultrasound, giving a sensitivity rate of 92%. On the other side, 159 subjects who did not have DDH were screened negative with ultrasound (specificity rate 91%). Conclusions: The present study reveals that early US screening for DDH has high sensitivity and specificity and was associated with a lower rate of invasive intervention. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and examine potential factors influencing the accuracy of US-based screening programs in Saudi Arabia.

O avanço tecnológico permite que novos conteúdos sejam criados e disponibilizados via Web a cada minuto, propiciando grande avanço em diversas áreas. Entretanto, essa disponibilidade também aponta desvantagens no âmbito Educacional. Destaca-se que o excesso de materiais ofertados dificultam o processo de ensino-aprendizagem devido ao demasiado tempo utilizado em busca de conteúdos que atendam às necessidades dos usuários. Nesse sentido, novos métodos para identificar conteúdos educacionais, em vídeos, por exemplo, precisam ser desenvolvidos. Percebe-se, sob essa perspectiva, diferenças significativas nos comentários fornecidos por usuários em vídeos educacionais, indicando assim, potencial para que estes sejam utilizados para a seleção de vídeos educativos. Neste contexto, esse trabalho realiza a análise e coleta de comentários de 500 vídeos da plataforma Youtube, sendo 250 educacionais e 250 não educacionais, e utiliza técnicas de Mineração de Textos e Aprendizado de Máquina para desenvolver um modelo de classificação que, baseado nos vocábulos mais frequentes dos comentários dos vídeos, os categorize em educacionais ou não educacionais. Com isto, provê-se um mecanismo que filtra os vídeos de acordo com a sua classe e retorna ao usuário apenas vídeos de conteúdo educacional. Resultados obtidos demonstram que é possível categorizar vídeos educacionais e não educacionais com acurácia de até 91,30%, ao se utilizar o classificador Random Forest. Ademais, devido aos resultados promissores, desenvolveu-se a API SysVidEduc, que utiliza os comentários dos usuários nos vídeos do Youtube e os classifica automaticamente em educacionais ou não educacionais.

Published: November 2022

Several works in the literature emphasized data mining as efficient tools to identify factors related to retention and dropout in higher education. However, most of these works do not discuss if (or how) such factors may effectively contribute to decrease such rates. This article presents a data mining approach conceived to identify students at retention risk in a course of Intro to Computer Programming as well as guide preventive interventions to help such students to overcome this situation. Our results indicated an averaged predictive performance superior to 80% in both accuracy and F1 when identifying factors related to the retention. Moreover, during the two years of the project execution, the annual success rates in the course were the highest in comparison to the last five years.

Published: November 2022

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) screening should be performed continuously at the primary care level in order to prevent disabling complications. Due to the high prevalence of undiagnosed T2D in the Republic of Uzbekistan, a decision was made to implement a nationwide screening program for T2D. Objectives: The current study, taking into account the limited resources of Uzbekistan's health care system, aimed to offer the most effective, simple, and economical option required for the actual implementation of regular T2D screening in the country’s primary care. Methods: The screening was conducted from December 2018 to March 2019. There were four different scenarios, which differed in terms of eligibility criteria and the methodology adopted for detecting dysglycemia. Results: A total of 2,430 patients were examined in four months. The T2D diagnosis was established by an endocrinologist in 9.3% of the cases with one eligibility criterion and 15.9% of the cases with three eligibility criteria. The diagnosis of T2D was established by an endocrinologist in 11.7% of the cases with HbA1c screening and 13.5% of the cases with glucose screening. Conclusions: The screening was feasible in Uzbekistan only in limited conditions. The reasonable strategy was found to be the screening for incidental glycemia in all patients with at least one T2D risk factor. It was recommended that patients with incidental glycemia ≥ 7.8 mmol/L should be tested for fasting glycemia.

Authors: Kakavand Mitra , Smith Neal
Published: November 2022

Background: Insole orthotics are prescribed to correct human body position during both the standing position and the motion of gait. Also, they are being applied for people who have forefoot abduction and arch deformation. However, a little is known about the relationship between forefoot and arch orthotic correction and the alternation in foot biomechanics. Objectives: This study was aimed to determine the effect of non-prescription insole orthotics in walking gait parameters. Methods: It was a quasi- experimental with pre-test, post-test design study. Twelve volunteer participants (41 ± 17 y), 10 men and two women, participated in this study. Three-dimensional (3D) cameras were used to do motion capture through those markers placed on lower body segments. Seven segments such as: Hip, left and right thigh, left and right shank, left and right foot were used for labelling in this study, which was measured with Vicon T-Series cameras at 250 Hz. The participants did walk in three different phases: Barefoot, running shoe, running shoe with a non-prescription orthotic inside. t-test was used to analyse the data. Results: The paired t-test results indicated that there is significant difference in cadence, step length and stride length for running shoe, and non-prescription orthotics compare to those of barefoot (P ≤ 0.05). Additionally, it was found that, non-prescription orthotics resulted in higher step length and stride length, and less cadence (P ≤ 0.05). On the other hand, But, no significant changes were found for non-prescription orthotics (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusions: It was concluded that cadence, step length and stride length were improved in running shoe compared to non-prescription orthotics group. But there were not any significant differences between running shoe and non-prescription orthotics.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Vitiligo is a chronic skin disease, which its etiopathogenesis is not fully understood. Numerous studies have suggested that oxidative stress may play a role in the pathophysiology of vitiligo. There are controversial reports as to the changes of serum trace elements, copper and zinc levels in vitiligo patients.
Objective: In this study, we evaluated the alterations in the level of serum Cu and Zn among a group of Iranian vitiligo patients.
Methods: The levels of serum Cu and Zn were compared between 117 vitiligo patients and 137 healthy controls using atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
Results: The mean Cu and Zn levels in the case group (113.57 ± 59.43 and 95.01 ± 58.95 μg/dl, respectively) were significantly lower than those of the control group (138.90 ± 38.14 and 121.83 ± 33.80 μg/dl, respectively) (p= 0.00). We also observed significantly lower serum Cu and Zn concentrations in young (<50 years) than the elderly (≥50 years) patients (p=0.00). The mean Cu and Zn levels in the patients with generalized vitiligo (111.63±54.18 and 93.11±59.33 μg/dl, respectively) were significantly lower than patients with localized vitiligo (120.74 ±71.64 and 98.69±58.63 μg/dl, respectively) and those in the control group (p = 0.00). The serum Cu/Zn ratio obtained in the young and male patients was higher than those in their matched control counterparts (p=0.01).
Conclusions: The current study has shown that the disturbance of serum Cu and Zn levels is associated with vitiligo, and may play an important role in the disease development of Iranian vitiligo patients.
Evaluation of Sleep Quality in Patients with Genital and Nongenital Cutaneous Warts: A prospective controlled study
Authors: Gore Karaali Muge , Manav Vildan
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Diseases affect sleep quality and the state of sleep quality may also affect the state of diseases by affecting the immune system. Depending on the immune status of the patients with cutaneous warts, the extent of the disease and the response to treatment may vary.

Objectives: We aim characterize the association between cutaneous warts and sleep quality.

Methods: A prospective controlled study was conducted. Patients over 18 years old with cutaneous wart were enrolled. Control subjects were age- and sex- matched healthy people. Demographic and clinical data of the participants were questioned. Sleep quality of participants was evaluated with Pitssburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).

Results: A total of 138 patients with cutaneous warts (genital (n=59), nongenital (n=79)) and 83 controls were interviewed. Patients with cutaneous warts showed significantly higher global PSQI score than the control group (warts vs control, 7.68±3.53 vs 4.92±2.91). The rate of having poor sleep quality in the patient group was higher than the individuals in the control group (Odds ratio (OR): 3.835). Patients with genital warts showed significantly higher global PSQI score than the patients with nongenital warts (genital vs nongenital, 8.61±3.63 vs 6.98±3.32). Female patients with genital warts showed significantly higher global PSQI score than male patients with genital warts.

Conclusions: Evaluation of sleep quality in patients with warts, especially in patients with genital warts may be suggested. The management of sleep disturbances in cutaneous warts may help increase the quality of life of patients and may effect on disease control.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Several studies investigated the use of dermoscopy in the delineation of Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) for Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) with conflicting results
Objective: The purpose of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of dermoscopy-guided MMS in the treatment of BCC.
Methods: We included all comparative studies including more than twenty-five cases. Cases of BCC treated using dermoscopy-guided MMS (or slow MMS) were compared to those treated with curettage-guided MMS or “standard” MMS. 
Results: A total of 6 studies including 508 BCCs were reviewed. There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of total margin clearance on the ﬁrst MMS stage between BCCs removed using dermoscopy-guided MMS and those that had curettage or visual inspection. However, lateral margin involvement was significantly lower in BCCs that had dermoscopy-guided MMS.
Limitations: Scarcity of research on this subject
Conclusions: Dermoscopy allows visualization of structures up to 1mm into the dermis, and therefore it is rational to use it for lateral margin evaluation. Currently, there are two comparative studies showing the efficacy of dermoscopy for lateral margin evaluation during MMS. Future studies are required to develop an evidence-based recommendation regarding the utility of dermoscopy in MMS.
Various Applications of Tofacitinib and Ruxolitinib (Janus Kinase Inhibitors) in Dermatology and Rheumatology: A Review of Current Evidence and Future Perspective
Authors: Sadeghi Sara , Goodarzi Azadeh
Published: November 2022

Backgrounds: Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) are anti-inflammatory medications suppressing Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway by inhibiting various cytokines receptors on the membrane of cells. Mutations and polymorphisms on JAK and STAT proteins can cause dysregulation in the balance of immune system, and ultimately result in autoimmune disorders.
Objectives: to record and summarize the overall efficacy and safety of JAKi in various autoimmune conditions such as alopecia areata (AA), psoriasis vulgaris (PV), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), atopic dermatitis (AD), vitiligo, hidradenitis suppurative (HS), lichen planus (LP), and pyoderma gangrenosum (PG).
Methods: A thorough review of articles was performed across PubMed and Google Scholar on meta-analyses, systematic reviews, clinical trials and case studies evaluating the treatment of autoimmune disorders such as AA, PV, PsA, AD, vitiligo, LP, HS, and PG with JAKi. Duplicated data and animal experiments or in vitro/ex vivo studies were excluded.
Results: all the reviewed articles reported beneficial effects of tofacitinib and ruxolitinib application in the treatment of disorders mentioned above with the autoimmune predisposition.
Conclusion: tofacitinib and ruxolitinib showed potential efficacy in treating several autoimmune disorders. Based on records in the reviewed studies, both medications had acceptable safety profiles; however, physicians are recommended to outweigh the risks and benefits of such treatments for each specific condition.

Authors: Nasimi Maryam , Abedini Robabeh , Fakour Yousef , Shahabi Shideh , Kalantari Yasamin , Etesami Ifa
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND:Patient-held beliefs are important for disease management and few studies have evaluated illness perception of Mycosis Fungoides (MF) patients. Here, we aimed to determine the effect of educating MF patients on their perception of their disease.

METHODS:Patients with diagnosed MF were asked to fill the Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R) once before education and once 3 months later.

RESULTS:Fifty-five patients, 41 men and 14 women, with a mean age of 45.5 ± 13.9 years were enrolled. Regarding the main etiologic factor, most patients cited anxiety (91%). After education, the most significant changed belief on disease etiology was immune system dysfunction and the change was twenty-six percent which was observed more in patients with higher educational levels, shorter disease duration, and lower MF stages. Regarding the most prevalent clinical manifestations, the majority of patients mentioned erythema (86%). After education, the greatest change in symptom perception was related to lymphadenopathy (32%) which was significantly associated with less disease duration and those treated with phototherapy. Before education, the mean perception score about the disease chronicity was 23.67 ± 3.549 that increased to 27.71 ± 1.66 (p-value <0.001). This change was more observed in men (p-value=0.03), those with less disease duration, and those treated with phototherapy.

CONCLUSION:Generally, MF patients hold favorable perspectives about their disease and educating them positively improves their illness perception. Patients with higher educational levels and lower stages of the disease showed more significant changes in various aspects of illness perception. Hence, early education is recommended in patients with lower educational levels.
Dermatopathological Correlation of Clinically Challenging Cutaneous Lesions: A Single Center Experience of 2184 cases
Authors: Ozcan Yunus , Özlü Emin , Karagün Ebru , Uyar Belkız , Gamsızkan Mehmet
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Although textbooks provide the ideal clinical and histopathological findings, in practice we usually have fewer, and sometimes contradictory, findings to work with. Objectives: The primary goal of this study is to categorize the diagnoses of clinically challenging skin lesions, thereby identifying the most common diagnostic scenarios encountered by dermatopathologists in practice and the most perplexing differential diagnoses submitted by clinicians. Our secondary aim is to investigate how the case profile and clinician decision-making processes changed during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: We classified 2184 pathology reports into four major categories: inflammatory, neoplastic, non-diagnostic, and other. In each category, the three most frequently reported diagnoses were listed. For each listed diagnosis, the top 3 most frequently used differential diagnoses by the clinician prior to biopsy are listed. The period one year after and before the first nationally reported COVID-19 case was compared using the same classification.Results: The most common diagnoses and clinical differential diagnoses were listed for each category, with 45.4% being inflammatory and 27.4% being neoplastic diseases. Non-diagnostic reports accounted for 11.4% of all reports. The overall number of reports has decreased drastically since the pandemic, and the rates of keratinocytic and melanocytic neoplasms have increased, while the rates of other malignancies and spongiotic diseases have decreased.Conclusion: Although a trained eye can easily identify skin lesions when they are typical, even diseases we are familiar with can present atypically in real life. In these cases, histopathological examinations and clinicopathological correlation are critical in making an accurate diagnosis.
Increased Prevalence of Bipolar Disorders in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: More Than a Striking Coexistence?
Authors: Esme Pelin , Maden Aysenur
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder of the hair follicle characterized by intense discharge and pain. Recently, HS's intrinsic association with neuropsychiatric disorders has become a focus of attention, and bipolar disorder (BD) emerged as a relevant topic for such an association.  
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate BD's prevalence among HS patients and present the HS and BD overlap patients' demographics, detailed clinical characteristics with a discussion on aggravating factors. 
Patients-Method: A retrospective chart review of 247 HS outpatients (Group-1) identified eight patients with BD. The frequency of BD in HS patients is compared to psoriasis patients (Group-2) and controls (Group-3) in age- and gender-matched groups. The demographic and clinical features of the 8 patients revealing HS-BD co-existence were analysed.   
Results: BD (n=9) was the 7th most common co-morbidity in the HS cohort. The frequency of BD is detected as 3.6% in group 1, 0.7% (n=1) in group 2, and 0.6% (n=1) in group 3, respectively.  Group 1 demonstrated an increased prevalence of BD compared to other groups (p=0.001). Of the 8 patients revealing HS and BD co-existence, 75% were active smokers, 62.5% were obese and 50% had metabolic syndrome.
Conclusion: This study's results reveal that the prevalence of BD in HS patients is higher than psoriasis patients and controls. The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying BD and HS co-existence needs to be investigated further.

Published: November 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze how the career-building process of sustainable entrepreneurs occurs from the perspective of sustainable careers and how the influential factors in their career decisions are related to the dimensions and characteristics of sustainable careers.
Design/methodology/approach: This is a qualitative study carried out by analyzing three Brazilian entrepreneurs’ life stories. Subsequently, the data were submitted to narrative analysis using the Atlas.ti software and then interpreted using sustainable career’s dimensions and characteristics.
Findings: The study corroborates the literature on entrepreneurship, sustainability, and careers, shedding new light on the career decision process of sustainable entrepreneurs from the assumptions of the sustainable career perspective. We identified the emergence of influential categories as a disorienting dilemma, the importance of agency and meaning dimensions and the career coherence with values, quality of life, and self-fulfillment. In addition, sustainable entrepreneurship appears to be in line with the ideals of decent work, allowing for individual well-being, matching life and career values, and long-term employability.
Originality: The sustainable career perspective offers an innovative, dynamic, and systemic perspective to understanding the professional trajectories of sustainable entrepreneurs, considering their learning along their trajectory, crossing different social spaces, experiences, and creations, which allow them to improve the adaptability necessary for the sustainability of their careers.
Emotionelt arbejde og læring i asynkron peer-feedback
Authors: Nordentoft Helle Merete , Møller Karen Louise
Published: November 2022

Tidligere forskning i peer-feedback har fokuseret på, hvordan kognitive og indholdsmæssige frem for emotionelle forhold har betydning for studerendes læring. Denne artikel undersøger sammenhænge mellem deres læring og det det emotionelle arbejde, der kan være forbundet med asynkron peer-feedback via Screencast. I et emotionssociologisk perspektiv undersøger vi med afsæt i tre fokusgruppeinterviews, hvordan informanterne oplever at få og give peer-feedback til en ”usynlig” modtager. Resultaterne viser, at asynkron peer-feedback har et stort lærings-potentiale, hvor studerende får indsigt i egne opgaver gennem indblik i medstuderendes arbejde. Følgende tre emotionelle balancer præger deres peer-feedback og emotionelle arbejde: 1. At udvise personligt nærvær samtidig med faglig distance. 2. At integrere egne forventninger med modtagers. 3. At balancere faglig sikkerhed og usikkerhed. Vi sammenfatter disse fund i en dialogisk model, der kan anvendes i kvalificeringen af studerendes arbejde med peer-feedback på synkrone møder før og efter asynkron peer-feedback.
Pandemins påverkan på universitetslärares pedagogiska praktik
Authors: Leijon Marie , Stigmar Martin
Published: November 2022

I artikeln utforskas hur universitetslärares pedagogiska praktik har påverkats av den digitala omställningen under pandemin. Vi diskuterar särskilt kunskapsområden som digitala medier, design av fysisk och digital lärandemiljö, arbetsmiljö, riskbedömning, tillgänglighet och sociala relationer. Resultatet, som bygger på pilotstudien ”The Corona Crash Course” och aktuell forskning, visar att de kunskapsområden som tydliggjorts under den digitala omställningen främst handlar om genomförande av undervisning. Två nya kunskapsområden har identifierats: arbetsmiljö och riskbedömning. Nu behövs tid för reflektion och stöd så att universitetslärare kan utveckla en postpandemisk praktik som vilar på vetenskaplig grund.
Clinical problem-based medical education: A social identity perspective on learning.
Authors: Johansson Nicolaj , Nøhr Susanne , Klitgaard Tine Lass , Stentoft Diana , Vardinghus-Nielsen Henrik
Published: November 2022

Medical education programs are responsible for educating medical students to meet the demands of a complex and fast-changing healthcare system, that requires competent, reflective, robust, and engaged students who can collaborate in interdisciplinary settings. In this article, we examine and discuss how social identities affect medical students’ learning approaches regarding how, what, and why they learn in clinical problem-based medical education. We conducted an ethnographic study at Aalborg University Hospital, involving 7 medical students for 240 hours of participant observation and 8 hours of semi-structured interviews. During the analysis, we found that medical students’ social identities as well as the clinical problem-based practice were strongly associated with how, what, and why they learn. We highlight that there is a very fine balance to be found between the assumed and assigned social identities in clinical problem-based medical education if a learning outcome of high quality is to be ensured.

This study shows how labels anchored in unconscious bias can contribute to the gender institution. It draws on interviews with women leaders in Canadian for-profit organizations to illustrate how labels relate to unconscious bias towards women leaders, how labels delegitimize or legitimize women leaders, and how women leaders react to labels. Guided by these results, the study theorizes how the micro-level practice of labeling anchored in unconscious bias can uphold or disrupt gender categories and associated gendered social roles, thus shaping the gender institution.
Transversing Sexualities and Critiques of Capital
Authors: O'Brien M.E. , Raha Nat , Baars Grietje , Xin Liu , Klitgård Mathias
Published: November 2022

This forum has come about through a series of conversations and discussions over a period of time in 2021-2022. Our ambition was to bring together scholars from different disciplines and perspectives, hoping for mutual curiosity and dialogue. We invited the participants to the forum to consider the following question:

“How can we understand the complex and often contradictory ways through which sexualities and capital are related to, shaped by, and constitutive of each other?”

Due to restrictions and exigencies of the corona situation together with time zone obstacles, the conversation had different modes. The fi rst part of the forum consisted of an online video-recorded conversation between M.E. O’Brien, Nat Raha and Grietje Baars. The conversation was moderated by Liu Xin and Mathias Klitgård. Laura Horn provided editorial support. Jin Haritaworn and Lisa Adkins then kindly sent their contributions to this conversation in writing. What you will read in the following is hence a conversation across three continents, which mixes synchronous and asynchronous elements, and which aims to show the strengths but also divergences and open questions in these different engagements.

Om artistnummerets dramaturgi og æstetik
Authors: Katholm Arne
Published: November 2022

Denne artikel bygger på nogle personlige erfaringer med at arbejde i artistområdet, og mine forsøg på at skabe en teori, der kunne understøtte og udfordre praksis. Det første jeg måtte erkende var, at teaterdramaturgens teori ikke slog til her, og det næste at jeg kunne benytte den som et afsæt til at skitsere en parallel teori for artistnummerets dramaturgi og tilnogle antegninger om æstetikken.

Hvordan har musikteatret i Danmark det i dag? Spørgsmålet er ikke så enkelt at besvare, da ”musikteater i Danmark” dækker over mange forskellige undergenrer og subkulturer. Svaret på spørgsmålet bliver derfor også forskelligt, alt efter hvilken undergenre vi fokuserer på. Vi kan indledningsvis operere med følgende typologi, som vi mener, er dækkende for feltet: • De etablerede operakompagniers produktioner • De små operakompagniers produktioner • Nye eksperimenterende musikteaterproduktioner • Musicals • Teaterkoncerter • Musikteater for børn
Ej blot til lyst – eller trøst?
Authors: Bonde Lars Ole
Published: November 2022

Lars Ole Bonde præsenterer en sammenlignende analyse af to operaer af Bent Lorentzen, Danmarks mest produktive operakomponist. Den ene blev produceret af teater Kaleidoskop i København, den anden som turnerende ”camplet-opera” af Den Jyske Opera. Der er meget iøjne- og iørefaldende forskelle på den tragiske opera Tristan-Variationer og den komiske Pergolesis hjemmeservice. Men der er også en række overraskende ligheder, som bl.a. afdækkes ved hjælp af et musikdramaturgisk analyseapparat, udviklet af komponisten selv i bogen Musikdramaturgi.
The Danish composer Bent Lorentzen (b. 1935) has composed 15 operas, all very unique in their dramatic architecture and their musical style. he article is a comparative analysis ofthe dark, modernist Tristan-Variations (1979) and the comic palimpsest Pergolesi’s homeservice (1998). Common dramatic features are identiied, with special focus on two characteristicfeatures in Lorentzens” music theatre: the comic and the performative dimensions.
En musikteaterhybrid
Authors: Enevoldsen Marie , Graugård Jessen Nanna
Published: November 2022

Marie Enevoldsen og Nanna Graugård Jensen skriver om forrige sæsons forestilling Maestro på Teatret Svalegangen i Århus. De kalder forestillingen en ”musikteater-hybrid”, fordi dramatiseringen af det norske band Kaizers Orchestras sange og univers blander realistiske spillestilskonventioner med melodramatisk overdrivelse, brechtsk fremmedgørelse og meget andet. På den måde er der elementer af såvel musical som teaterkoncert, så måske er hybriditet en vej frem?
Et brag, et chok og et stykke musik
Authors: Bruun Peter
Published: November 2022

Komponisten Peter Bruun, der selv har komponeret børneopera og er medlem af ensemblet Figura, skriver om arbejdet med at lade børn komponere. Med afsæt i et konkret eksempel fra et projekt med børn i 4. klasse fra skoler i Billund kommune relekterer han over de oplevelsesprocesser, der sættes i spil i sådan et forløb, hvor børn selv skaber et musikalsk-dramatisk udtryk fra grunden. Børnenes eksperimenterende og legende omgang med lydligt og musikalsk materiale perspektiveres såvel musikæstetisk som musikpsykologisk.
Teaterkoncerter
Authors: Eigtved Michael
Published: November 2022

Et vigtigt kendetegn ved teaterkoncerterne ér, at de er tvetydige eller måske snarere flertydige. Konceptet konstrueres i de allerleste tilfælde sådan, at det univers, der etableres, er et åbent univers, som peger i mange  retninger. Som Michael Eigtved skriver i sit essay om teaterkoncerten og dens udvikling, tilfredsstiller teaterkoncerterne et af de vigtigste krav, nutidens publikum har til deres kulturoplevelser: man vil selv være medskabende. Teaterkoncerten giver afkald på at fortælle en historie, den må man som publikum selv konstruere. Samtidig er der så stadig trygheden ved den kendte musik, som gør at det mindre trænede publikum ikke føler sig fortabt i et uforståeligt, avantgardistisk ingenmandsland. Det betyder, at teaterkoncertens format er et kunstnerisk columbusæg, der på én gang tillader ophavsmændene at tage nutidige, styrende konceptuelle livtag med noget musik, der (i en eller anden form) har bevist sit værd, og samtidig delvist overlader det til publikum at navigere i oplevelsen. Selvom teaterkoncerten indtil nu primært har fokuseret på bagkataloget hos kendte stjerner fra populærmusikkulturen, kan man iagttage forskellige aktuelle ”nyskabelser”, f.eks. Betty Nansen Teatrets Mozart-teaterkoncert, som har udvidet genregrundlaget, og denne sæsons København på Nørrebros Teater, som måske peger på en ny trend: temaet frem for kunstneren.

Den ikke-professionelle skuespiller som dokument?
Authors: Hinz Melanie , Lauenstein Led Jens Christian
Published: November 2022

This article examines in theory and by the analysis of three productions whether a non-professional cast, quite often seen in contemporary documetary theatre today, could be considered and described as documents. The study includes an examination of documentary theatre in the sixties especially as defined by Peter Weiss. It also draws on recent theoretical studies such as works by Steyerl. It reaches the conclusion that documentary theatre of the sixties felt a strong belief in the veracity of the written document, where as contemporary documentary theatre oscillate between doubt and faith. This applies especially to the theatrical event of Christoph Schlingensief, Bitte Liebt Österreich!, where as Meine Akte und ich by Clemens Bechtel concentrate much more on the authenticity of the non-professional cast. In Hinz’ own performance Cash. Das Geldstück it is particulary this doubt about authenticity that attracts the attention of the audience to the documentary quality of the non-professionals.

In this paper, Vito Pinto presents some general theories about how to perceive radio plays by focusing on the different listening modes. He then relates these ideas to three exemplary works of the German Hörspielmacher Paul Plamper. Moreover, he concentrates on the particular staging of the voices and the evolvement of the spatiality therein as being the key factors for an understanding of the listener’s perceptive and participatory process and its aesthetic impact.

Refleksioner over forholdet mellem proces og værk
Authors: Malling Lykke Skov Rasmus
Published: November 2022

This text is a practice-based reflection upon the relation between the artistic process and the finished work. The starting point is the devised production ”Revolution - a do-it-yourself rebellion!” by Teater Fluks. The piece revolves around the theme of revolution, with a high degree of audience-involvement, examples from historic revolutions, abstractions and video work. We reflect upon the process through a number of fragments and subjects such as: The anatomy of the process, how to describe a project before the work is there, how we work with research, different logics of method, how to take decisions, and last but not least, the work in relation to the market, the theatre landscape and the audience.
