Opowieści smartfonowe: strategie autorskie w filmach Rubena Östlunda
Authors: Konefał Sebastian Jakub
Published: October 2023

Twórczość filmowa Rubena Östlunda wydaje się jedną z najciekawszych egzemplifikacji zmian systemowych, tematycznych oraz formalnych, jakie zaszły w kinie szwedzkim w XXI w. Obrazy reżysera Turysty i The Square zaburzają percepcyjne przyzwyczajenia widzów, wymykając się łatwym klasyfikacjom filmoznawczym i celnie komentując wiele z aktualnych problemów. Swoją liminalną formą nie tylko odsłaniają niewystarczalność myślenia o współczesnym świecie i twórczości filmowej w binarnych kategoriach, lecz również skłaniają do uznania relatywności popularnych sądów, przekonań i metodologii. Co więcej, dzięki płynności formy i wieloznacznej tematyce interpretacje twórczości Östlunda nie ograniczają się jedynie do voyeurystycznych prób przyglądania się banalności i nieszczerości ludzkich zachowań oraz krytyki szwedzkiego systemu państwa opiekuńczego i neoliberalnej polityki Unii Europejskiej. Przy dokładniejszej analizie mogą bowiem również podążać w kierunku bardziej intymnych form filozoficznego namysłu nad duchową i intelektualną kondycją współczesnego człowieka.
W co gra Ruben Östlund? Neorasizm i krytyka wielokulturowości w filmie „Gra” („Play”)
Authors: Loska Krzysztof
Published: October 2023

Tematem artykułu jest analiza mechanizmów funkcjonowania współczesnego społeczeństwa wielokulturowego na przykładzie filmu Gra (Play) Rubena Östlunda, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem sposobów przedstawiania kwestii rasowych. Tytułowa kategoria „gry” wskazuje na jeden z możliwych tropów interpretacyjnych, związanych z performatywnym wymiarem tożsamości etnicznej, zgodnie z którym rasa wiąże się nie tyle z biologicznym dziedziczeniem, ile z kulturowym systemem oczekiwań, jakie mamy wobec ludzi o innym kolorze skóry. Loska pragnie pokazać, że reżyser narusza tabu, jakim jest kwestia koloru skóry, zmusza do zastanowienia się nad przyczynami konfliktu społecznego, który tylko pozornie nie istnieje, uświadamia widzom, w jaki sposób jest wytwarzana i odgrywana tożsamość, jak układają się stosunki władzy i podległości.
Transgresje i transformacje w twórczości filmowej Kornéla Mundruczó
Authors: Helman Alicja
Published: October 2023

Autorka charakteryzuje Mundruczó jako twórcę, który wpisuje się w nurty i tendencje sztuki swoich czasów – niekiedy je wyprzedza nowatorskimi rozwiązaniami, ale zarazem nie przekreśla tradycji. Jego kino to kino transgresji, które nie respektuje granic gatunkowych, rodzajowych, estetycznych, łącząc fabularność i dokumentalizm z tendencjami awangardowymi. Mundruczó jest wnikliwym obserwatorem i interpretatorem współczesnej rzeczywistości, ale by odnaleźć i nadać jej sens, sięga daleko w przeszłość, w stronę uniwersalnych mitów, które zrodziła kultura i samo kino. Analizując twórczość Mundruczó, autorka ukazuje powtarzające się wątki i motywy, które twórczość tę spajają przy całej jej różnorodności. Stale powraca motyw rodziny: dysfunkcyjnej, rozbitej, nieobecnej; bohaterowie pozbawieni przeszłości pojawiają się znikąd, naruszając stan równowagi społeczności sfrustrowanej, wrogiej wobec obcych i siebie nawzajem. Otwarte zakończenia nie rozwiązują problemów ani nie wskazują dróg wyjścia z impasu bądź kryzysu. Zachowaniami postaci kierują seks i przemoc, a ofiarami padają niewinni.
Atlas działań niepotrzebnych Juliana Rosefeldta
Authors: Pitrus Andrzej
Published: October 2023

Tekst jest prezentacją twórczości Juliana Rosefeldta, którego Manifesto stało się sensacją w świecie zarówno filmu artystycznego, jak i sztuki współczesnej. Rosefeldt reprezentuje sferę tak zwanego filmu galeryjnego. Jego prace sytuują się na pograniczu kina, fotografii i instalacji. Różnorodność stylistyk i tematów utrudnia jednoznaczne podsumowanie jego twórczości, ale uwagę zwracają próby mierzenia się z najnowszą historią Niemiec, a także podejmowane coraz częściej wątki egzystencjalne. Pitrus analizuje również kwestie formalne – bardzo ważne w dokonaniach niemieckiego artysty, coraz częściej sięgającego po rozwiązania rodem z wysokobudżetowych produkcji Hollywoodu.

Searching for Métis Research Methodologies
Authors: Davey Robline
Published: October 2023

Métis research methodologies have not always been valued. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) outlined 94 Calls to Action to privilege Indigenous perspectives, and likely provided the impetus for a shift in which scholarship seeking to reclaim, define, explore, validate, and amplify Indigenous Research Methodologies (IRM) exists. Articulating Métis specific methodologies is congruent with the common research process of aligning all aspects of the research process. Because limited research with Métis women is documented, it is an area for contribution. This paper aims to explore documented Métis methodologies and contribute a Métis arts-based methodology for an upcoming doctoral research project.

The Influence of Taxpayer Awareness, Tax Service Quality, and Tax Sanctions on Taxpayer Compliance Level with Taxpayer Financial Condition as a Moderating Variable
Authors: - David Chandra , - Nurul Hidayah
Published: October 2023

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing individual taxpayer compliance in the Pratama Tax Office of Gianyar. The analyzed factors encompass taxpayer awareness, tax service quality, tax sanctions, financial condition, and the moderating influence of financial condition on the relationship between these factors and taxpayer compliance. The analysis is conducted using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. Data were collected from 340 respondents who are individual taxpayers in the Pratama Tax Office of Gianyar. The analysis results indicate that the factors of taxpayer awareness and tax service quality have a positive and significant impact on taxpayer compliance. However, the tax sanctions factor does not have a significant influence on taxpayer compliance. Furthermore, financial condition moderates the influence of taxpayer awareness and tax service quality on taxpayer compliance. This research holds significant implications for the Pratama Tax Office of Gianyar in enhancing taxpayer compliance. The research findings demonstrate that the variables of taxpayer awareness and tax service quality exert a positive and significant influence on taxpayer compliance. This suggests that taxpayers with a higher awareness of tax obligations and who experience good tax services tend to be more compliant in fulfilling their tax obligations. These findings align with prior research indicating a positive relationship between taxpayer awareness, tax service quality, and tax compliance.

Authors: - Agzail Saad Elhddad
Published: October 2023

Aim: this study was conducted to assess the insulin resistance in obese PCOS patients in comparison with non-obese PCOS women. Methodology: a comparative observational study was conducted on 165 Libyan PCOS women; 81 obese PCOS and 84 non-obese PCOS attending the out-patient clinic of Albayda Fertility Teaching Center and two private clinics in Albayda city/Libya, in the period between January 2021 and January 2023. All subjects undergone day 2 pelvic ultrasound scan, relevant hormonal assay and an overnight insulin and glucose levels were measured and used for insulin resistance calculation, using Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) formula, 2.6 was used as a HOMA-IR cutoff value. Result: of the total 165 PCOS women, 81 (49%) were obese with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 (study group) and 84 (51%) were non-obese (control group) PCOS. The prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) in all the included PCOS patients was 39% and the difference in prevalence of IR was non-significant between obese and non-obese PCOS (p=0.44). Insulin resistance was significantly higher among the obese PCOS (mean HOMA-IR =3) than non-obese PCOS group (mean HOMA-IR = 2.4) with P-value < 0.001. Insulin resistance had a significant positive correlation with fasting insulin and glucose levels but was not significantly correlated with BMI, age, LH, or with testosterone. Conclusion: both obese and non-obese PCOS women have insulin resistance, strengthening the aetiological role of Insulin resistance in PCOS pathogenesis. However, the insulin resistance was significantly higher among the obese PCOS accordingly life-style modifications might be beneficial in restoring PCOS pathogenesis.

The study drew upon a sample of 28 respondents and Semi-structured and Open-ended interview techniques were applied to obtain the required primary data. Transcripts of the interviews were analysed thematically for respondents’ perceptions of the use of religion in politics. The key findings revealed that religion was often utilized as a political tool by the political elite, where politicians utilised it to gain political mileage. Religious communities were also viewed by respondents as effective partners in the implementation of political agendas and or policies. Additionally, religious communities were seen as fixed and stable entities which had won the trust of local communities. By and large, the role played by religion in politics (through the identified religious bodies) was considered crucial for the survival of democracy in the two districts. Appropriate recommendations are made such as encouraging religious freedom where everybody will be free to seek the truth without any coercion or inhibition.

Saliva is an informative biological fluid that has gained a lot of interest because of its physiologic diagnostic medium. The salivary secretions are under control of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation. It contains enzymes, proteins, biochemicals. It has been suggested to be ultrafiltrate of blood. The recent findings suggest that saliva could be used as a biomarker in diagnosing oral cancer. The study of saliva as a biological matrix has been identified as a new landmark initiative in search of a useful biomarker to diagnose oral cancer through and transcriptomes. Most oral cancers are oral squamous cell carcinoma using saliva for early oral cancer detection in the search for new clinical markers is a promising approach because of its noninvasive sampling and easy collection method. Identification of this salivary biomarker could help to screen patients at risk, predict disease outcome and effectively contribute to planning treatment strategies. Biomarkers in saliva can be used as for diagnostic & response to treatment in oral squamous cell carcinoma.in this review, we explored their application in this increasingly common disease. A systematic review of the literature was performed based on the English titles listed in the PubMed, EBSCO, Cochrane, Science Direct, ISI web Science, and SciELO databases using the keywords. This article may help to identify the potential biomarkers for screening and the molecular pathology analysis in the high-risk patients with the OSCC.

Background: Sedation is a key for the management of patients with traumatic brain injuries. However, in some of the brain injured patients, weaning from sedation is a real challenge. In this work, we aim to evaluate the use of Levomepromazine as a safe strategy for weaning from sedation in mechanically ventilated brain injured patients.
Patients and Method: This is a prospective randomized controlled monocentric study carried out on patients admitted to the surgical ICU of the university hospital Ibn Rochd of Casablanca, between January 2022 and April 2022. The study included all mechanically ventilated patients over 18 years old admitted for traumatic brain injury. The patients were divided in two groups. The primary endpoint assessed was the need to resume sedation.
Results: In our study, the average age was 30 years ± 10.9. 97% were men. Resumption of sedation was 73.3% in the control group compared to only 37,5% in the group who took levomepromazine. Agitation was significantly lower in the levomepromazine group 18.7% compared to 73,3% in the control group. The reasons of re-sedation in both groups were accidental extubation due to the agitation of the patient and also patient-ventilator asynchrony. The length of stay was reduced in the control group with 18,4 days versus 28,7 days in the levomepromazine group. Concerning the impact on ICU deaths, there was no significant difference.
Conclusion: Levomepromazine has been shown through this work to reduce agitation in traumatic brain injured patients. ICU Death may not be influenced by the use of this molecule but it would reduce the need for prolonged or re-sedation.

This study investigates ideological positioning in the four TV stations’ primetime news presentations in Ghana. The study explores linguistic resources that enact ideological positioning in the primetime TV news presentations. It begins with ideological positioning in evaluative resources, it proceeds to ideological positioning in semiotics and ideological positioning through other linguistic features through the lens of Appraisal Theory by Martin and White (2005). It became clear that linguistic resources in primetime TV news presentations enact different ideological positioning for subjects of the news
Ideological Positioning in Covid-19 News Reportage in Ghana
Authors: - Ellen Blessing Sobeng
Published: October 2023

This study investigates the different ideological positions in news reportage on COVID-19 between April to August, 2020, reported on Citi TV, Joy News and TV3. The research examines lexical choices in the news that enact ideological positions following the assumptions of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as the main instrument of analysis for the news reports. It became evident from the analysis that the ideological positioning in the three TV stations are represented differently. Whereas Citi TV tends to use lexical choices to minimize the seriousness of the pandemic, Joy News uses lexical choices to hold the government and stakeholders accountable to affected patients. Lexical choices used by TV3, on the other hand, employs words to appeal to Ghanaians to adhere to safety protocols by providing facts from credible sources. The news reports on COVID-19 demonstrates how the three TV stations reported on the same pandemic in vastly different ways through particular uses of lexicon that reflected their differing ideological positions and national interests.

Artistic geniuses who made important contributions to the realm of art and beyond include Leonardo da Vinci and Pablo Picasso. Their lives, artistic experiences, and the influence they had on numerous art genres are all covered in this page.
The essay examines how these artists overcame limitations and used their artwork to communicate on a global scale. With his mastery of art, engineering, and scientific inquiry, Leonardo da Vinci pushed the boundaries of conventional wisdom and strove to comprehend the world around him. His interest in physics, nature, and the human body inspired his scientific discoveries and shaped his artistic creations.
Da Vinci's seamless blending of art and science illustrated how several fields are interconnected and revealed a universal language that appealed to audiences both then and now.
In contrast, Pablo Picasso's inventive methods and bold study of numerous styles and mediums transformed the art world. His ability to convey complicated feelings and concepts through his painting defied accepted aesthetic norms and gave rise to ground-breaking styles like surrealism and cubism. Picasso's art frequently broke beyond barriers of language and culture because he examined topics and ideas that were relevant to everyone's experience as a person. He conveyed feelings, social commentary, and personal experiences through his unique visual language, and these messages resonated with audiences all around the world.
