A reflection on women’s strength in Perempuan Luka Kalis Kecewa
Madihah, who was the top SPM student in 2008, reached a remarkable milestone earlier this year with the publication of two of her latest books. As a young and promising author in Malaysia, her first work was a co-authored book with Ummu Hani Abu Hassan, titled Catatan Hati Nik Nur Madihah – Kesusahan Bukan Penghalang Kejayaan, published in 2009. Her second book, Noktah Terjahit, was released in 2017, followed by her third book, Denai Cinta, in 2023.
In 2025, Madihah achieved double success when her books Perempuan Luka Kalis Kecewa and Kemelut: Konflik Perasaan Sering Dilalui Pelajar hit the bookstores in April and May, respectively. To maintain a clear focus, this article serves only as a review and reflection on Perempuan Luka Kalis Kecewa. Insha Allah, once this task is completed, I will address the issues explored in Kemelut in a separate article
Modern and Site Specific. The Architecture of Gino Valle 1946-2003
This edition makes available for the first time in English the only critical
monograph dedicated to the work of Gino Valle, realized with Luka Skansi with an enormous support of Piera Valle and Pietro Valle. Since his
early buildings in the 1950s at Udine in Friuli, northeast Italy, Gino
Valle has been recognized by
international critics as Joseph Rykwert (author of a Foreword to the
book) and Reyner Banham as one of the most original and creative
European architects of the post-war period. His artistic talent,
associated with a great intellectual curiosity and a genuine passion for
new construction systems, led Valle to develop an architectural work
that was resolutely open and multiform. His buildings make valuable
contributions to debates about the relationship between new architecture
and historic surroundings, between industrial and open landscape, urban design and architectural intervention
The role of physiotherapy in cervicobrachial syndrome
Cervikobrahijalni sindrom poznat i pod nazivom cervikalna radikulopatija karakteriziran je bolovima u vratnoj kralježnici koji se šire u jednu ili obje ruke, a označava disfunkciju korijena živaca u donjem dijelu vratne kralježnice. Uzrok nastanka bolesti je kompleksan. Kod mlađih osoba najčešći uzrok može biti pomak intervertebralnog diska ili trauma,dok su degenerativne promjenenajčešći uzrok kod starijih osoba.Simptomcervikobrahijalnog sindroma je bol u ruci često praćena senzornim poremećajima u području dermatoma zahvaćenog živčanog korijena, dok su motorički poremećaji nešto rjeđi. Dijagnoza se postavlja na temelju anamneze i kliničke slike. U liječenju sindroma fizioterapija igra ključnu ulogu, a usmjerena je na smanjenje boli, poboljšanje pokretljivosti i jačanje mišićnog sustava. Ovaj rad analizira različite fizioterapijske postupke, uključujući manualnu terapiju, terapijske vježbe i elektroterapiju, te njihove učinke na smanjenje simptoma i poboljšanje funkcionalnosti pacijenata. Također fokusira se na identifikaciju čimbenika koji mogu utjecati na uspjeh rehabilitacije, kao što su individualne karakteristike pacijenata, stupanj oštećenja i vremenski okvir započinjanja terapije.Cervicobrachial syndrome, also known as cervical radiculopathy, is characterized by pain in the cervical spine that spreads to one or both hands, and means dysfunction of nerve roots in the lower part of the cervical spine. The cause of the disease is complex. In younger people, the most common cause can be disc iv displace mentor trauma, while degenerative changes are the most common cause in the elderly. A symptom of cervicobrachialsyndrome is pain in the arm, often accompanied by sensory disorders in the area of the dermatome of the affected nerve root, while motor disorders are also some what rarer. Diagnosis is made based on history and clinical presentation. Physiotherapy plays a key role in the rehabilitation of patients with cervicobrachialsyndrome, aimed at reducing pain, improving mobility and strengthening the muscular system. This paper analyzes various physiotherapy procedures, including manual therapy, therapeutic exercises and electrotherapy, and their effects on reducing symptoms and improving the functionality of patients. The research also focuses on identifying factors that can influence rehabilitation success, such as individual patient characteristics, degree of impairment, and time frame for starting therapy. The results will contribute to the improvement of rehabilitation approaches and provide guidelines for future therapeutic strategies

Totalitarianism on Screen in the Light of H. Arendt's Political Thought
U ovom radu autor nastoji dokazati komplementarnost političke teorije i filma odnosno pokazati kako se zajedničkim promatranjem spomenutih medija stvara kompleksnija slika razmatranog fenomena. Kako bi dokazao tezu, on analizom filmova Šoa, Šaulov sin i Raj utvrđuje njihove filozofsko-teorijske potencijale te na njihovom primjeru istražuje međudjelovanje političke teorije i filma. Budući da je u analizi filmova fokus na prikazu totalne dominacije na filmu, autor, prije same interpretacije, sažeto prikazuje političku teoriju Hanne Arendt koja identificira upravo totalnu dominaciju kao vrhunac totalitarne vladavine. Ipak, totalnu dominaciju nije moguće razumjeti per se. Stoga, rad prezentira instrumente i preduvjete koji su omogućili nastanak i održanje totalitarizma, a samim time i totalne dominacije. Prema Arendt, totalna dominacija je projekt koji pomoću ideologije i terora uništava čovjeka kao biće slobode. Autor na samom početku rada postavlja širi okvir koji omogućuje bolje shvaćanje moći, djelovanja, slobode i politike. Točnije, svih onih karakteristika koje krase čovjeka kao biće slobode, a koje totalna dominacija nastoji uništiti. Autor dokazuje kako navedeni filmovi posjeduju filozofsko-teorijski potencijal te da arendtijanska interpretacija stvara nova filmska značenja i dimenzije. Također, rad pokazuje kako filmovi ilustracijama transformiraju kompleksne teorijske koncepte u jednostavnije i razumljvije oblike. Autor zaključuje kako su politička teorija i film uistinu komplementarni te ističe važnost ovakvog pristupa i potiče daljnja istraživanja u ovom području.In this paper, the author tries to prove the complementarity of political theory and film. In other words, he tries to show how the joint observation of the mentioned media creates a more complex picture of the considered phenomenon. To prove the thesis, the author analyzes films Shoah, Saul's Son and Paradise, brings to light their philosophical-theoretical potential and explores the interaction between political theory and film. Because film interpretation is based on the depiction of the total domination in film, the author, before analyzing, summarizes Hannah Arendt's political theory, which identifies total domination as the zenith of totalitarian rule. Total domination cannot be understood per se, therefore, the paper presents the instruments and preconditions that enabled the emergence and maintenance of totalitarianism and thus total domination. According to Arendt, total domination is a project that uses ideology and terror to destroy man as a being of freedom. At the very beginning of the paper, the author sets a broader framework that enables a better understanding of power, action, freedom and politics. All those traits characterize man as a being of freedom and total domination seeks to destroy them. The author shows that these films have philosophical-theoretical potential and that the Arendtian interpretation creates new cinematic meanings and dimensions. Also, the paper shows how films use illustrations to transform complex theoretical concepts into simpler and more understandable forms. The author concludes that political theory and film are complementary, emphasizes the importance of this approach and encourages further research in this area
La linea analitica: Dardi, lʼarte e lʼesposizione
Based on archival research conducted at the Archivio Progetti at IUAV in Venice, the essay (and the exhibition “La linea analitica: I musei e gli allestimenti di Costantino Dardi”, Archivio Progetti, Iuav, 12.11. > 13.12.2013) is the first historical and scientific survey on the exhibition designs by Costantino Dardi, the renowned Italian architect of the 1970s and 1980s, author of the scenography for Peter Greenaway’s “The Belly of an Architect”.
Across the various exhibition contexts in which he operated, Dardi nurtured a strongly critical approach to the relationship with space: he did not limit himself to merely an expressive or representative level, but rather assumed an analytical attitude. This attitude produced new and always original operations: as results of a critical and creative analysis of space, his projects often became spatial installations in themselves. Dardi’s work found its optimal expression in the relationship between the exhibition display and its context, whether the latter was a museum, an archaeological site, an urban space or a landscape. This particular sensitivity derives from his wide and updated knowledge of visual culture, which in the context of contemporary Italian architectural milieu was quite original. Although perfectly positioned within the Italian architectural culture of the ‘60s and ‘70s, Dardi nevertheless emerges as an anomalous exponent, primarily for his in-depth and articulated knowledge of the Italian and international art scenes. It was precisely contemporary art research (Flavin, Burden, Judd) that strongly influenced his analytical sensitivity as well as design

The inscription from Chartres
Luka Repanšek has worked on the basis of an independent decypherment of the inscriptions, and he proposes alternative readings, and another analysis of the onomastic formulae ; his conclusions are similar to those of other colleagues concerning the groups «Cornuti Toutisa» , and «u(id…) i felicx» . Duti(os) is considered as a complement to adgarios. Contextu would be a noun meaning «protection» . The author also proposes a tentative translation.Luka Repanšek a travaillé à partir d’une lecture indépendante de l’inscription et propose des lectures alternatives, ainsi qu’une autre analyse des formules onomastiques. Ses conclusions rejoignent celles d’autres collègues concernant «Cornuti Toutisa » , et «u(id…) i felicx » . Duti(os) est considéré comme complément de
adgarios. Contextu serait un nom de la protection. L’auteur propose aussi un essai de traduction.Repanšek Luka. The inscription from Chartres. In: Etudes Celtiques, vol. 39, 2013. pp. 181-192
Deviations from Motorsports Photography
Diplomsko delo Odstopanja od motošportne fotografije obravnava dva žanra športne fotografije. Naloga je razdeljena na dva dela. Ker je v središče praktičnega dela diplome postavljena tema avtomobilističnih dirk, prvi del govori o motošportu in fotografiji, ki se ukvarja s tem področjem. Predstavlja njen razvoj od začetka do danes. Dotika pa se tudi njenega tehnološkega razvoja.
Pri izdelavi fotografske serije ni bila uporabljena klasična reportažna fotografija, zato se drugi del posveča osebnemu pristopu fotografiranja športa, katerega končni izdelki so konceptualna dela, ki jih nismo vajeni videvati v medijih in reklamah, saj ne prikazujejo vrhuncev športnega dogajanja in zmagovalcev.
Za temo raziskovanja je bilo določeno, kako lahko fotograf predstavi samega sebe skozi fotografijo športa. Namen je, da bi bralec spoznal, da je fotografska serija, ki na prvi pogled ni umetniške narave, lahko osebno izpovedna.
Po teoretičnem delu sledi opis praktičnega dela diplomske naloge, fotografske serije z naslovom Barve hitrosti. Ta ne predstavlja motošporta kot takega, ampak avtorja in njegov pogled kot oboževalca tovrstnega športa, ki ne posveča pozornosti zgolj avtom in dirkačem, temveč tudi gledalcem, mehanikom, atmosferi in detajlom.Thesis Deviations from Motorsports Photography deals with two genres of sports photography. The task is divided into two parts. As the topic of motor racing is placed at the center of the practical part of the diploma, the first part talks about motorsport and photography, which deals with this field. It represents its development from the beginning to the present day. It also touches on its technological development.
Classic reportage photography was not used in the production of the photo series, so the second part focuses on a personal approach to sports photography, whose end products are conceptual works that we are not used to seeing in the media and advertisements.
The topic of the research was how a photographer can present himself through sports photography. The intention is for the reader to realize that a photographic series that is not at first glance of an artistic nature can be personally confessional.
The theoretical part is followed by a description of the practical part of the diploma thesis, a photographic series entitled Colors of Speed. This does not represent motorsport as such, but the author and his view as a fan of this kind of sport, which pays attention not only to cars and racers, but also to spectators, mechanics, atmosphere and details
Trauma dan Penerimaan Luka: Pendampingan Pastoral atas Realitas Traumatis yang Tidak Dapat Diperdamaikan
Abstract. Can emotional wounds heal? Pastoral theories generally have shown that it is possible to engage the complexity of emotional wounds problem. Some of it can be found in Clebsch and Jaekle’s pastoral functions and in crisis intervention methodology that presents the achievable result of responding to the counselee’s emotional wounds. However, what about the wounds that remain? Drawing from the author's accompanying research on the traumatic reality wounds that remain irreconcilable, the author offers a new way of pastoral care that responds to these wounds that remain. The posture of accepting the wounds that remain as a way of healing, would be central here. By using qualitative research methods, the author presents the ABCA crisis intervention method as a way of pastoral care that includes this posture as a way of healing. This method is relevant in that it answers the problem of the remaining wound through inviting the counselee to remember their past, reaffirming their present, and reauthoring their future as a way of healing.Abstrak. Apakah luka batin bisa sembuh? Teori-teori pastoral secara umum mengatakan bahwa kompleksitas permasalahan terkait luka batin dapat dijawab. Beberapa di antaranya dapat ditemukan dalam fungsi-fungsi pastoral menurut Clebsch dan Jaekle dan metodologi intervensi krisis yang memperlihatkan tercapainya kesembuhan dalam merespons luka batin konseli. Akan tetapi, bagaimana dengan luka yang tidak hilang? Berangkat dari penelitian dampingan penulis atas luka traumatis yang tidak kunjung hilang sekaligus tidak dapat diperdamaikan, penulis menawarkan sebuah cara baru pendampingan pastoral dalam merespons luka batin yang tidak hilang. Sikap penerimaan realitas luka yang masih ada sebagai wujud kesembuhan, menjadi penting dibahas. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, penulis menawarkan metode intervensi krisis ABCA sebagai bentuk pendampingan pastoral yang mengikutsertakan sikap menerima tersebut sebagai bentuk kesembuhan. Metode ini menjadi relevan karena ia menjawab permasalahan realitas luka yang tidak dapat diperdamaikan tersebut dengan mengajak konseli untuk mengingat kembali pada masa lalunya, menegaskan kembali pada masa kininya, dan menarasikannya untuk masa depan sebagai wujud kesembuhannya
