Exploring perspectives of type 2 diabetes prevention program coaches and training delivery staff on coach e-learning training: A qualitative study
Authors: Cranston Kaela D , Grieve Natalie J , Jung Mary E
Published: March 2024

Background
E-learning can be an effective and efficient mode of training healthcare practitioners. E-learning training for diabetes prevention program coaches was designed and developed with input from end users. Insight from those who deliver the training and coaches who have taken the training can provide critical feedback for further refinement of the e-learning training. The purpose of this study was to understand diabetes prevention coaches’ and training delivery staffs’ perspectives of the coach e-learning training.
Methods
A pragmatic paradigm guided the methodology for this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with diabetes prevention program coaches (n = 8) and diabetes prevention program training staff (n = 3). Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using template analysis. Themes and subthemes were separately constructed from coach and staff data.
Results
There were seven themes constructed from the coach data: training design, “I didn’t know what to expect from the training”, technology usability, learning, coaches’ backgrounds shaped their training experience, support, and coaches valued the training. Two themes were constructed from the staff interviews: streamlining the training delivery, and ensuring coaches meet the diabetes prevention program standard.
Conclusions
This study highlights the importance of exploring perspectives of both those going through and delivering e-learning training to refine content and processes. Qualitatively evaluating the implementation of e-learning training will lead to a more acceptable, efficient, and effective e-learning training. Coaches and staff emphasized the benefits of having high-quality online components, that the brief training promoted gains in knowledge and improvements in skills, and that e-learning training refinements will lead to further satisfaction and effectiveness. Results can be used to inform modifications to the coach e-learning training for this diabetes prevention program and to inform other healthcare practitioner e-learning trainings.

Authors: Lee Li-wen , Chiu Yung-ho , Liu Fan-peng , Lin Tai-Yu , Chang Tzu-Han
Published: March 2024

As the global population ages, the average health expenditures among OECD countries rose from 7.8% of GDP in 2005 to 9.9% in 2020, while social security and welfare expenditures increased from 14.5% of GDP in 1980 to 20.2% in 2016. However, social security and healthcare are related to SDG1, SDG3, and SDG10. Looking over the data envelopment analysis (DEA) literature, it is rare to distinguish functional differences when evaluating social security efficiency, which is mostly mixed between social insurance and healthcare, and the impact of social security on healthcare efficiency has not yet been any major focus. This research uses the two-stage recycle dynamic undesirable SBM DEA model to observe the efficiency of social security and healthcare in OECD countries. Thereare three findings as follows. First, we find that the higher is social security efficiency, the better is healthcare efficiency of countries with GDP per capita below US$41,500. Second, the higher is social security efficiency of National Health Service (NHS) countries, the better is healthcare efficiency. When the financial source of the social security system is taxation, then it is more likely to bring higher efficiency to healthcare.
Comprehensive bibliometric and visualized analysis of research on front crawl biomechanics published from 1984 to 2023
Authors: HUANG Dongxiang , ZHANG Keyi , CHOW Huang Kay
Published: March 2024

Background
The biomechanical review of front crawl (FC) swimming can enhance athletes' technical proficiency and prevent sports injuries. Over the last 39 years, considerable research has been conducted on FC biomechanics. However, there exists a need for more bibliometrics studies. The objective of this study is to create a knowledge map highlighting the prominent research areas and cutting-edge frontiers in the field of FC biomechanics.
Methods
Using Citespace, this study conducts bibliometric and visualization analysis of 508 articles in the field of FC biomechanics sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The study focuses on collaboration networks among authors. Additionally, it examines the co-citation analysis of journals and performs co-occurrence, cluster, and burst term analysis on keywords.
Results
Ricardo J. Fernandes is the most influential author. We found that the journal INT J SPORTS MED has been the most frequently cited publication. The popular keywords in this field include velocity, performance, and swimmers. Moreover, we identified several burst keywords, such as body roll, stroking characteristics, and motor control. Through cluster analysis, we identified that body roll, drag, motor control, and training are highly interconnected concepts in this domain.
Conclusion
The forefront of research in the field of FC biomechanics has evolved from a focus on fundamental techniques to addressing complex problems and, subsequently, validating research methods and data reliability. Future research directions may consider separately analyzing the impact of shoulder and hip rotation on freestyle performance, investigating the effects of training on freestyle starts or turns, and exploring the potential and application scope of inertial sensors. By integrating other technologies and methods, this research aims to provide comprehensive support and guidance for the training and performance of swimmers.
Fast Reactions and Slow Manifolds
Authors: Kuehn Christian , Sulzbach Jan-Eric
Published: March 2024

In this paper we generalize the Fenichel theory for attracting critical/slow manifolds to fast-reaction systems in infinite dimensions. In particular, we generalize the theory of invariant manifolds for fast-slow partial differential equations in standard form to the case of fast reaction terms. We show that the solution of the fast-reaction system can be approximated by the corresponding slow flow of the limit system. Introducing an additional parameter that stems from a splitting in the slow variable space, we construct a family of slow manifolds and we prove that the slow manifolds are close to the critical manifold. Moreover, the semi-flow on the slow manifold converges to the semi-flow on the critical manifold. Finally, we apply these results to an example and show that the underlying assumptions can be verified in a straightforward way.

Authors: Zhu Zhicheng , He Banglin , Sun Jifu , Lin Liqun , Meng Chen , Sun Yan , Jiang Chao , Huang Yonghui
Published: March 2024

Objective: This study retrospectively compared the early clinical and imaging outcomes of the single-level Meyerding Grade Ⅰ degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS) between unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion (ULIF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) using an expandable tubular retractor system under a surgical loupe.
Methods: This was a retrospective study. This study included fifty-five patients (twenty-eight patients underwent ULIF and twenty-seven patients who underwent MI-TLIF at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from June 2020 to July 2021. Demographic characteristic, surgical parameters, laboratory results, and clinical and imaging outcomes were collected and compared between the two groups.
Results: The mean estimated blood loss was significantly lower in the ULIF group (P<0.001). However, the mean operative time was significantly longer than in the ULIF group than in the MI-TLIF group (P<0.05). The mean CK and CRP levels on the first postoperative day were significantly lower in the ULIF group (P<0.001). All clinical scores improved significantly after the operation in both groups. The VAS back score for pain at two weeks and 1 month postoperatively was significantly lower in the ULIF group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the change in the dural sac cross-sectional area preoperatively or at the final postoperative follow-up. The fusion rate was significantly greater in ULIF at 6 months after the operation (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Compared to MI-TLIF, the ULIF technique has the advantages of less hemorrhage, less inflammation, and earlier fusion. However, this approach has a limited operation time. However, further clinical outcomes need to be followed up in the longer term.

Published: March 2024

Essential genes are indispensable for the survival of cancer cell. CRISPR/Cas9-based pooled genetic screens have distinguished the pan-cancer essential genes and their functions in distinct cellular processes. Nevertheless, the landscape of essential genes at the single cell levels and the effect on the tumor microenvironment (TME) via cell-to-cell communication network (CCN) remains limited. Here, we identified 396 essential protein-coding genes (ESPs) by integration of 8 genome-wide CRISPR loss-of-function screen datasets of colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines and a full-length single cells transcriptome data of CRC tissues. Then, 29 essential long non-coding genes (ESLs) were predicted using Hypergeometric Test (HT) and Personalized PageRank (PPR) algorithms based on ESPs and co-expressed network constructed from single cell transcriptome data. CRISPR/Cas9 knockout experiment verified the effect of several ESPs and ESLs on the survival of CRC cell line. Furthermore, multiple omics features of ESPs and ESLs were illustrated by examining their expression patterns and transcription factor (TF) regulatory network at the single cell level, as well as DNA mutation and DNA methylation events at bulk level. Finally, through integrating multiple intracellular regulatory networks with CCN, we elucidated that CD47 and MIF are regulated by multiple CRC essential genes and the anti-cancer drugs sunitinib can interfere the expression of them potentially. Our findings provide a comprehensive asset of CRC ESPs and ESLs, sheding light on the mining of potential therapy targets for CRC.
Design of a floating-point adder/subtractor based on reversible circuits
Authors: Dong Bolin , Sun Ao , Huang Feixiang , Chang Weijie
Published: March 2024

Reversible circuits are a possible alternative to conventional circuits because they have the same input and output and avoid power loss due to bit erasure operations. It has been widely used in various research areas such as optical computing, low-power CMOS design, DNA computing, quantum computing and thermodynamic techniques. In this paper, we suggest a novel design for a 16-bit floating-point reversible adder/subtractor that is complied with IEEE-754 standard. This design proposes the use of signal control bits to determine whether to add or subtract floating-point numbers, thereby increasing the operation speed. The key to reducing quantum cost, constant input, and garbage output lies in the design of reusable components. Finally, the feasibility of the design is verified by FPGA.

Authors: Miller Natalie Ella , Lally Phillippa , Conway Rana , Steptoe Andrew , Frank Philipp , Beeken Rebecca J , Fisher Abi
Published: March 2024

Purpose
This study aimed to examine whether psychological distress was cross-sectionally associated with meeting World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) recommendations in people living with and beyond cancer.
Methods
Participants were adults living with and beyond breast, prostate and colorectal cancer, participating in the baseline wave of the Advancing Survivorship after Cancer Outcomes Trial (ASCOT). Anxiety/depression was assessed using the EQ-5D-5L and dichotomised into any/no problems. WCRF recommendations were assessed via pedometers, 24-hour dietary recalls, self-reported alcohol intake (AUDIT-C), and self-reported smoking status. A composite health behaviour risk index (CHBRI) was calculated by summing the number of WCRF recommendations met (range: 0-9).
Results
Among 1348 participants (mean age = 64 years (SD = 11.4)), 41.5% reported anxiety/depression problems. The mean CHBRI score was 4.4 (SD = 1.4). Anxiety/depression problems were associated with a lower CHBRI score, after multivariable adjustment (beta = -0.27; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.46, -0.07). Anxiety/depression problems were also associated with lower odds of meeting WCRF recommendations for average daily steps (odds ratio (OR) = 0.73; 95% CI: 0.55, 0.97) and average weekly aerobic steps (OR = 0.78; 95% CI: 0.67, 0.92), but not for any other health behaviour.
Conclusions
Psychological distress is associated with lower adherence to WCRF recommendations in people living with and beyond cancer, and specifically with not meeting physical activity recommendations.
Implications for cancer survivors
Physical activity may be a mechanism linking psychological distress and poorer outcomes among people living with and beyond cancer, and this should be explored in longitudinal studies.

Determining the temporal patterns of the impact of financial determinants and public health factors on the local community resilience in the context of overcoming the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Vysochyna Alina , Rudychenko Artem
Published: March 2024

In the article it is developed a methodological toolkit for determining the temporal patterns of the influence of financial determinants and public health factors on the local community resilience in the context of overcoming the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the use of panel data regression modeling (testing for the presence of a lag of up to 3 years). The practical approbation of the approach was carried out on the basis of a sample from 21 European countries for the period 2000-2021. The following indicators were chosen as local community resilience parameters (outcome indicators): level of tax revenue decentralization; the level of income decentralization (ratio of own incomes of local budgets to central government incomes); the level of expenditure decentralization (the ratio of own expenditures of local budgets to central government expenditures). The financial and infrastructural factors of public health, the impact of which on performance indicators was studied, are the following: the number of beds (per 1,000 people); capital expenditures for health care (% of GDP); current health care expenditures (% of GDP); domestic government health care expenditures (% of current health care expenditures); domestic private health care expenditures (% of current health care expenditures); out-of-pocket health care expenditures (% of current health care expenditures). Based on the results of the approbation of the developed approach, immediate drivers and inhibitors of ensuring local community resilience, as well as drivers and inhibitors of delayed action, were identified. The obtained results allow us to note that in the context of strengthening the financial resilience of local community, it is necessary to increase the number of hospital beds, as well as the volume of current expenditures on health care, and to ensure this growth mainly by the expenditures from private financial resources and out-of-pocket expenditures.
First-year accounting students' experiences adjusting chalenges to university life
Authors: Mokhampanyane Matsolo
Published: March 2024

The object of research: to explores the adjustment experiences to university life of first year accounting students.

Investigated problems: Adaptation challenges, to the university environment which creates significant stress, affect retention, academic performance, and social demands of first year students – all academic and social integrations are major challenges for first year students.

The main scientific results: The findings for the study revealed that first-year accounting students report encouraging and undesirable academic and social adjustment experiences respectively. Encouraging academic adjustment experiences related to the availability of support from departmental personnel from the faculty. Undesirable academic experiences included lack of time management, and workload and independence issues.

The area of practical use of the research results: Encouraging social adjustment included, among others, the introduction of mentors to first years, as well as a wellness center; on the other hand, undesirable social adjustment highlighted independence and disintegration. The study further suggests that universities, through their student support services and faculties, should have in place support strategies, as well as a programme, which promote the interaction of first year students within their institutions throughout their first year of study.

Innovative technological product: According to the findings, the study recommends coordinated methods to ensure that the first year's accountings receive full support in order to help them successfully adapt to and fit into the new environment. The introduction of electronic platforms that allow first-year stakeholders to organize students and interact with their lecturers and other support structures like mentors and supplemental instructors (SI) a few weeks before the official class sessions is promoted. Additionally, it might be recommended for the wellness center to host workshops for freshmen on time management, managing the workload at the institution, and how independence can occasionally work against a student's academic wellbeing.

Scope of the innovative technological product: Students in their first year of accounting at one of South Africa's technical universities served as the study's respondents.
Teacher trade unions, unionization of novice teachers, implications for professional development in South Africa
Authors: Makoa Moshe Moses , Segalo Letlhoyo Jacob
Published: March 2024

The object of research: In this research paper a critique of teacher trade unionism as a political mechanism and its impact on newly qualified teachers’ dilemmas is presented.

Investigated problem: Political power is inherently viewed as platform through which critical decisions on education matters are made. Some of these political decisions are, but not limited to teacher professional development and career advancements. Though the aim of teacher trade unions is to salvage the rights of the teachers in the profession, the historical development of teacher trade unions suggest that they act as political vanguard of the working class.

The main scientific results: This qualitative study probed the current state and nature of teacher trade unionism have and implications for novice teachers in the sense that it does not encourage professional development, rather, political one. The results of this study confirm and demonstrates that the choice of novice educators to join a trade union of their choice is intrinsically linked to the career pathways the trade unions can offer rather than what trade unions are able to offer in their careers.

The area of practical use of the research results: The study is of importance to South African novice teachers who are engaged in teacher professional development programs.

Innovative technological product: The results of this study made it possible to outline strategic directions for the introduction of digital technologies that will enhance teacher professional development. The results of this study further stresses that the lack of resources which impedes teacher professional development.

Scope of the innovative technological product: The result of the study concerns the implementation of professional development initiatives, that will require the integration of information and communications technology in the professional development process, stressing policy as an imperative point of departure.
The moderation effect of personal factors on the relationship between performance contracting and service delivery of employees in Huduma Centres in Western Kenya
Authors: Nyongesa Wesonga Justus , Van Der Westhuizen Johan
Published: March 2024

The Kenyan Government mounted the following efforts to improve service delivery: privatization, voluntary early retirement, and restructuring, but the results were not good, thereby opting for performance contracting using Huduma Centers. The 30,000 customers are served at the centres daily and collected Kshs 12 billion annually as revenue, as shown in a report by Government 2020. Past studies on performance contracting influencug service delivery were mostly case studies and not surveys. There were mixed outcomes from the reviewed literature, a sign of a moderator impact yet to be tested, and there were no evidence for examining personal characteristics to demonstrate their moderation effect. The impact of personal factors on the relationship between performance contracting and service delivery, on the other hand, has not been sufficiently explored. This study aimed to establish the moderation effect of personal factors on the relationship between performance contracting and service delivery. The study utilized an ex-post factor design with quantitative aspects. A questionnaire was used to gather data from a target population of 276. The data analysis was done quantitatively to establish the moderation effect. The results showed that personal factors (R2=0.125; p=0.000) positively and significantly influenced the association by 12.5 %. The study revealed that personal characteristics positively modified the association. The study recommends that managers and policymakers consider personal factors to enhance service delivery. The implication of this study for theory is that it would result in theory refinement by emphasizing the integration of personal factors in the performance contracting framework while opening research fronts for the future by recommending cross-sectoral studies that are qualitative to be carried out to gain insights into the variations of moderations of personal factors.
Participative decision making: implications on organisational citizenship behaviour in a public higher education institution
Authors: Ngo Ndjama Joelle Danielle , Van Der Westhuizen Johan
Published: March 2024

Due to the authoritarian administrative style, used by educational institutions, where those in charge make decisions and middle and lower-level employees simply carry out orders without providing any input, participatory decision-making has gained popularity in the educational setting. Nevertheless, higher education institutions are at a crossroads since they are unsure how to handle the problems, posed by a highly dynamic environment, and the rapid changes that are occurring. Thus, academic staff has been required to take on extracurricular duties to enhance institutions to those that are formally outlined in their job descriptions. In this context, developing OCB and ensuring its sustainability has become increasingly crucial for boosting universities' effectiveness. Based on the social exchange theory, this study aims to assess how participative decision-making can constitute a key idea in modern management that impacts employees’ organisational citizenship behaviours in two campuses of a public higher education institution in South Africa. Data was collected from a post-positivist perspective, a quantitative research method, and a convenience sampling technique to select a sample of 253 academics, through a structured questionnaire. Based on the results of the descriptive analysis, employees reported a medium level of participative decision-making and agreed to display the five organisational citizenship behaviours. Using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression models, the study found a positive relationship between participative decision-making and the five dimensions of organisational citizenship behaviour. Therefore, the study recommends that employees should be more involved in the decision-making for them to display organisational citizenship behaviour. However, public higher education institutions should establish a strong data-driven culture and train staff members to be proficient in code and quantitative concepts; and senior management has to develop rules with open access to the most important metrics.
LA INTERSECCIÓN DE LAS RELACIONES INTERNACIONALES Y LA MOVILIDAD MIGRANTE: UNA PERSPECTIVA ESTRUCTURALISTA
Authors: Martínez Villanueva Claudia L.
Published: March 2024

Las Relaciones Internacionales como disciplina han recibido cuestionamientos por su etnocentrismo y su naturaleza parroquial. A más de cien años de su nacimiento, la demanda de apertura en este campo es inminente, con la capacidad de reflejar problemáticas y fenómenos trasnacionales desde la inter y multidisciplinariedad y establecer una agenda renovada y amplia. La mirada hacia la movilidad migrante a partir de la disciplina daría una aproximación al análisis en el nivel “top-down” desde las estructuras del macro nivel que influencia a los Estados en la gestión migratoria. El objetivo del artículo, es presentar argumentos a favor de incorporar el estudio de la movilidad migrante desde la disciplina, y cómo desde la aproximación teórica neorrealista y el Análisis de los Sistemas – Mundo se puede comprender el fenómeno como un proceso histórico, sistémico y estructural.
Las Ciudades y sus [no] fronteras
Authors: Martínez Dueñas William Andrés
Published: March 2024

Desde sus inicios, Jangwa Pana ha publicado de manera constante contribuciones en el ámbito de la antropología urbana. Este campo, no solo explora las realidades sociomateriales en constante cambio y su heterogeneidad en las ciudades, sino también nos invita a reflexionar sobre los procesos que llevaron a los antropólogos a describir y comprender sus “propios” espacios (Gnecco y Gómez, 2005). En el proceso de construcción de este campo de estudio, la antropología se nutrió de otras áreas de las ciencias sociales que, gracias a la división intelectual del trabajo (Trouillot, 2003), se habían enfocado en estudiar el desarrollo de las ciudades, mientras que la antropología exploraba las vidas de habitantes “no occidentales” de selvas, montañas y desiertos. En este contexto nace este número, que presenta un conjunto de artículos agrupados en el dossier "Ciudades Intermedias de América Latina: dinámicas y perspectivas de investigación", coordinado por Claudia Duque de la Université Laval (Canadá), Hubert Mazurek del IRD-Aix Marseille Université (Francia) y Jorge Sánchez-Maldonado de la Corporación Universitaria del Meta (Colombia).

The (Un)ordinary Everyday Reality in the Kremlin: Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin’s The Death of Stalin: A True Soviet Story
Daily life is usually associated with repetition and the ordinary. There are, however, settings where the quotidian is far from usual or familiar. Marked by dread and uncertainty, the everyday reality in the Kremlin during Joseph Stalin’s era is one such case evocatively presented in Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin’s graphic novel The Death of Stalin: A True Soviet Story. The article demonstrates how history can be artistically reworked through the comic medium. The analysis focuses on the choice of colors, composition of the panels, perspective, and creation of characters, and refers to the postulates put forward by Hillary Chute, Roland Barthes, and Michel Foucault. The paper concludes that the authors of The Death of Stalin not only offer a convincing take on one of the most crucial moments in the history of the Soviet Union and the world but also employ subtle artistic measures typical of comics to recreate the overwhelming atmosphere of everyday life in the Kremlin dominated by omnipresent fear and uncertainty about the future.

Zátopek: The Comic Version of the Everyday Life of a Long-distance Runner
The comics signed by scriptwriter Jan Novák and illustrator Jaromír 99 follow a particularly well-thought-out authorial strategy. They tell the story of post-war Czechoslovakia, their protagonists are authentic figures, and their approach has little in common with the uncritical glorification so often found in (not only graphic) biographies. Created in 2016, the first of the works is dedicated to Emil Zátopek, a long-distance runner, three-time gold medalist at the Helsinki Olympics, and a man who got caught up in the political realities of the 20th century. The article analyzes the various contexts of diegetic conditioning (including the rituals of everyday life inscribed in the narrative), the critical reception of the book in the Czech Republic, and the correspondence between the sensibilities of the authors and other modes of memory management in a field explored in (popular) culture.

Nancy in the Land of Swines: A Few Reflections on Polanski’s What? and the Film’s Reception in Italy
The article discusses Roman Polanski’s lesser-known film What?, made in 1972 in Italy, in Carlo Ponti’s villa. Despite not very favorable general reception immediately after the premiere and later in time, the film was appreciated by Italian critics who admired its intertextual values, self-citations and references to Italian cinema, such as ironic allusions to commedia all’italiana, or Federico Fellini’s works and oneiric atmosphere. The main aim of the text is to present some ways of reinterpreting and reevaluating Polanski’s underrated and almost forgotten movie.
Interwencja bogini/Szatana? "Wenus w futrze" (2013) – lektura palimpsestowa filmu Romana Polańskiego

Goddess’s or Satan’s Intervention? A Palimpsest Reading of Roman Polanski’s Venus in Fur (2013)
The text concerns Roman Polanski’s film Venus in Fur (2013), a multi-layer psychodrama written for two characters, taking place on several levels of human relations: actress vs. director, literary character vs. performing artist, man vs. woman. Venus in Fur has been defined as a kind of palimpsest, i.e. a film story based on the fictional skeleton of other works. Referring to the concept developed by Gérard Genette, who categorized the ways in which different texts interact with each other, the article investigates the film’s hypertextuality, i.e. the “grafting” of Venus in Fur (as a hypertext) upon earlier works (hypotexts). When discussing Venus in Fur as a text of culture constituting a hypertext superimposed on other literary pieces, such as David Ives’ dramas, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s novels, mythological and biblical stories, it was necessary to identify their mutual relations by deciphering all the interconnections, reworkings, reinterpretations, and revisions. Due to the relationships existing between the various cultural texts in the film, the analysis was treated as a palimpsest reading. Attention was also paid to the director-actress relationship and the role of the female character in connection with the reinterpretation of the myth of the goddess Venus.

“I Had a Rough Life:” Stefan Grabiński’s Puszczyk and the Decadent Movement in Modernism
The article is an attempt to analyze Puszczyk [Tawny Owl], Stefan Grabiński’s first fantastic horror novella, thus introducing this little-known work into the study of pessimistic attitudes prevailing during Modernism, i.e. at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The research is placed in the context of selected approaches to decadence as one of the leading philosophical movements of the era and one which perfectly reflected the mood and melancholic attitudes of the time when the literary work was created. The novella is shown to have the most characteristic features of decadence and corresponds with the general atmosphere and poetics of Polish modernism. Decadence is understood here as an “attitude towards culture, society, civilization, and a certain way of thinking about them” that focuses on “fall, disintegration, or decline.”

Afterimages of Federico Fellini’s Works in Krystian Lupa’s The City of Dream
The main purpose of this article is to analyze Krystian Lupa’s production The City of Dream (TR Warsaw, 2012), based on the novel The Other Side by Alfred Kubin, relative to the work of Federico Fellini. The Polish director, who very often refers to the medium of film in his theatre productions, this time turned to the work of Federico Fellini. One of the themes of the play is the process of making a fictional documentary film by the Italian director. Lupa refers to Fellini’s work by stylizing some scenes from his films. He “borrows” characters from the filmmaker’s motion pictures and the Italian’s biography. He also adapts scenes from Fellini’s  feature films and commercials. The purpose of the text is to highlight, analyze, and interpret the intertextual references found in the play.

To Stop Time
An analysis of a poem Zegary w Trewirze (Clocks In Trier) by Stefan Napierski from his 1933volume Obrazy z podróży (Travel Pictures). The interpretation includes on one hand thecontext of the only novel by Napierski, Rozmowy z cieniem (Conversations With A Shadow),in which the clocks play an important role, on the other hand the iconographical tradition ofthe time measuring in Trier, based mostly on the monography of that subject by ChristlLehnert-Leven (Uhren in Trier. Geschichte, Gedichte und Bestände des Museums Simeonstift14 S. Napierski, Z powodu „Diogenesa w kontuszu” Wacława Berenta, „Ateneum” 1938, nr 2 s. 31.
Trier, 1992). There is also a discussion of the allusions to Heinrich Heine and Rainer MariaRilke, both in Napierski’s poem and in his novel, as well as a presentation of two MiddleAges legends: about the founding of the town of Trier by the king Trebeta and about the life-story of St. Simeon, an eremit buried alive in the town’s gates, which help to explain thedeeper meaning of Napierski’s poem.
