Vágyunk varázslatos tárgya : Kenneth Branagh: Lóvátett lovagok – komédia a musicalszínpadon
No full textDolgozatomban Kenneth Branagh 2000-es Shakespeare-adaptációján keresztül vizsgálom
meg azokat a diskurzusokat, amelyek Shakespeare kulturális értékét és a Shakespeareadaptációkon számon kérhető funkciókat boncolgatják. Az elemzett film negatív kritikai
fogadtatásán keresztül felvázolom azokat a kritériumokat, amelyek mentén Branagh művét
sikerületlennek találhatjuk. A kudarc okát legtöbb kritikus abban vélte megtalálni, hogy az
adaptált Shakespeare-drámát és a musical műfaját alapvetően összeegyeztethetetlennek
látták, illetve abban, hogy az elkészült mű sem a Shakespeare-rel, sem a musical műfajával
kapcsolatos kívánalmaknak nem tesz eleget, legfeljebb úgy, hogy egyfajta populáris
igényt céloz meg. Rámutatok ugyanakkor arra is, hogy az eredeti Shakespeare-darab
sem feltétlenül követi a saját műfajának követelményeit, és számos olyan dilemmát eleve
felvet, amelyek Branagh adaptációjában is megjelennek – ez egyrészt a komikus műfaj
iránti rajongás, másrészt pedig a műfaj létjogosultságának, értékének megkérdőjelezése,
illetve a műfajhoz kapcsolódó „csoda” élményre való reflexió, valamint a közönség szerepe
a csoda létrejöttében. | Through the analysis of Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Love’s Labour’s Lost, the paper
looks at discourses dealing with Shakespeare’s cultural value, and the possible functions
of a Shakespeare-adaptation. The analysis of the negative opinion most critics had about
the film reveals criteria based on which Branagh’s adaptation may be considered to be a
failure. Frequent opinions include the idea that this Shakespearean play is incompatible with
the genre of the musical, and that the adaptation in the end does not meet the standards
either of a Shakespeare-adaptation, or as a musical, perhaps only through serving the
taste of a popular audience. The author also points out that the original Shakespeare play
does not necessarily follow the requirements of its genre, and thus it raises a number of
dilemmas that are also present in Branagh’s adaptation: on the one hand, the fascination
with the comic genre, on the other, the questioning of the genre’s raison d’être and value,
and the reflection on the experience of “wonder” or “miracle” associated with the genre,
as well as the role of the audience in the creation of the miracle
COVID–19 as a Source of Psychosocial Hazard Related to Work
No full textThe article deals with occupational health and safety in the context of the emergence of a new threat of COVID-19 disease. It focuses on occupational stress and organizational problems experienced by employees in the context of economic problems of companies and administrative restrictions caused by pandemic crisis situation. The research question of the article is: How do the employees adapt to the initial phase of coronavirus crisis situation in their working environment? The theoretical part of the article contains the comparative analysis of the psychosocial hazards and proposal of their classification with the reference to COVID-19 syndrome. The research part analyzes the current results of survey studies dedicated to the perception of pandemic by employees in Poland. In the conclusion the author advocates for including new psychosocial work hazards which appear in connection to COVID-19 outbreak into already existing official lists of work-related psychosocial risks. It is especially recommended in case of evaluation of occupational health and safety in flexible work and remote work models

Exploring Triboluminescence and Paramagnetism: A Rapid Mn Complex Synthesis for High School and Undergraduate Chemistry Laboratories
No full textTriboluminescence is a fascinating
phenomenon that can engage students’
interest in chemistry. However, safe, cost-effective, and accessible
laboratory experiments featuring highly triboluminescent substances
are limited. To bridge this gap, we present a simple, rapid, semimicro
test tube preparation of the visually engaging manganese complex [MnBr2(Ph3PO)2], conducted by high school
students. During the laboratory session, students practice various
laboratory skills, including handling semimicro quantities of substances,
ascertaining the melting point, and recrystallizing the synthesized
complex. They also investigate the complex’s triboluminescent,
fluorescent, and magnetic properties through straightforward and illustrative
experiments. Furthermore, this laboratory activity has been successfully
implemented in an undergraduate chemistry didactics course for chemistry
educators. The experiment’s simplicity, combined with the safety
of starting materials and use of nontoxic solvents, makes it an optimal
choice for a variety of educational environments, such as high school
and university laboratory sessions, science clubs, and public science
outreach activities

An Investigation of Occupational Balance: United States University Students’ Time Use Patterns in Relation to Levels of Depression, Anxiety and Alcohol Use
No full textA developing body of research aims to address the concepts surrounding occupational (or lifestyle) balance. Occupational balance has been described as a congruency of work, productivity, leisure, self-care, and rest which is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and satisfaction (Backman, 2004; Matuska & Christiansen, 2009; Wilcock et al., 1997). One study of university students found their main impediments to achieving occupational balance were personal and interpersonal influences, time constraints, and financial factors (Wilson & Wilcock, 2005). Annual national USA surveys consistently indicate university students report excessive stress, sleep deficits, depression, and alcohol misuse, all of which were noted as impediments to their academic performance (ACHA, 2009). This research study aimed to not only document university students’ time use patterns and levels of anxiety, depression and alcohol use, but to also infer relationships between these factors. HSIRB approval was secured and all students enrolled at a large urban public university in the Midwest USA were eligible for the study. Researchers visited 6 large classroom buildings at variable times/days during a one-week period mid-semester in order to survey a broad range of subjects. Subjects voluntarily completed the self-report survey and then received a $10 gift card. Data included basic demographic information and 3 self-report screening tools (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-3). Subjects also completed a time use questionnaire to self-estimate time spent on a weekly basis in 25 areas of occupation. The questionnaire was developed by the lead author based upon the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework- 2nd edition and had been pilot-tested. Research assistants were trained on administering/scoring the surveys. Preliminary statistical data analysis (utilizing SPSS) from N= 306 subjects showed a mean age of 23, and were 53% male and 55% Caucasian. High levels of anxiety, depression, and alcohol use were found. Preliminary statistical analysis of time use patterns indicated occupational imbalance for the students. Further analysis is in progress. This study adds to the growing body of occupational science literature to document and explore the negative implications of occupational imbalance. Such imbalance may adversely affect a student’s sense of competency and enjoyment of activities, and is associated with feelings of depression and anxiety and alcohol misuse, which is a serious social issue at universities.

Microcirculatory assessment of vascular diseases
No full textThe term "microcirculation" refers to the terminal vascular network of the body, which includes arterioles, capillaries, venules as well as initial lymphatic vessels. Additionally, it insinuates to their unique function in thermoregulatior, fluid balance, maintenance of cellular exchange, and metabolism. Disturbances of microvascular function were identified to precede macrovascular involvement in the presence of cardiovascular risk factors and is the hallmark of terminal disease stages like critical limb or acral ischemia. Nevertheless, despite its obvious significance in vascular medicine assessment of microvascular function became increasingly neglected in the clinical institutions during the last decades and seems to play a subordinary role in medical education. We therefore provide an overview over relevant and clinically practicable methods to assess microcirculation in vascular medicine with critical estimations of their pros and cons and their perspectives in the future.</p
