From Albania to Brazil: Ismail Kadaré's Broken april and its filmic adaptation, Walter Salles' Abril despedaçado
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2007The aim of the present study is to analyse how issues of Albanian national identity are portrayed in Ismail Kadaré's novel Broken April (Prilli i Thyer), and how such features have been appropriated and translated onto the screen into a Northeastern Brazilian context. I depart from the premise that, even though Brazilian elements are indeed shown in the film, the non existence of the Kanun in Brazil, and the use of narrative techniques different from the ones employed in the novel render the story of the blood feuds in the film more universal than the genuinely Albanian reality depicted in the novel. In sum, the appropriation transcends the Albanian reality into a universal context, showing, at the same time, elements which are typical of the Brazilian culture.O objetivo do presente estudo é analisar como questões sobre a identidade nacional Albanesa são retratadas no romance Abril Despedaçado (Prilli i Thyer), de Ismail Kadaré, e como tais questões foram apropriadas e traduzidas para a tela num contexto Nordestino-Brasileiro. O estudo parte do princípio que, embora elementos tipicamente Brasileiros sejam mostrados no filme, a não existência do Kanun no Brasil, e o uso de técnicas narrativas diferentes das empregadas no romance ajudam a deixar a história das brigas de família no filme com um aspecto mais universal do que a realidade genuinamente Albanesa representada na romance. Em suma, a apropriação transcende a realidade Albanesa para um contexto mais universal, sem deixar de mostrar também elementos típicos da cultura Brasileira
The problem of causality in Islamic thought : a viewpoint of Al-Ghazali / Khalid Ismail
No full textThe problem of causality (al-Sababiyyah) is one of the most controversial issues in Islamic theology in particular and philosophy in general. It discusses cause and effect such as fire is the cause of burning, marriage is the cause of
having children, medicine is the cause of health and so on. In this modest paper, the author shall attempt to explain and analyse two essential groups in the history of Islamic Thought namely the Muslim Theologians (al- Mutakallimun) and Muslim Aristotelian Philosophers (al-Falasifah al-
Masya 'iyyun). The former have usually used the term al-Sabab whereas the latter employed the term al-Ilah in referring to the theory of causality

Knowledge and beliefs concerning evidence-based practice amongst complementary and alternative medicine health care practitioners and allied health care professionals: A questionnaire survey
No full textBackground: Evidence-based practice (EBP) has become an important competency in many allied and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) health care practitioners' professional standards of proficiency.
Methods: To compliment an EBP course for allied health care professionals and CAM practitioners, we undertook a questionnaire survey to assess learning needs. We developed a questionnaire to measure allied health care professionals and CAM practitioners' basic knowledge, skills and beliefs concerning the main principles of EBP. The questionnaires were administered to all attendees of one-day EBP workshops.
Results: During 2004–5 we surveyed 193 allied health care professionals and CAM practitioners who attended one-day EBP courses prior to commencement of teaching. Of the respondents 121 (62.7%) were allied health care professionals and 65 (33.7%) practitioners stated that they work in the CAM field Our survey found that the majority of the respondents had not previously attended a literature appraisal skills workshop (87.3%) or received formal training in research methods (69.9%), epidemiology (91.2%) or statistics (80.8%). Furthermore, 67.1% of practitioners specified that they felt that they had not had
adequate training in EBM and they identified that they needed more training and education in the principles of EBM (86.7%). Differences in knowledge and beliefs concerning EBP amongst allied and CAM practitioners were found and length of time since qualification was also found to be an important factor in practitioner's beliefs. More CAM practitioners compared to allied health professionals accessed educational literature via the Internet (95.3% v 68.1%, p = 0.008). Whilst, practitioners with more than 11 years experience felt that original research papers were far more confusing (p = 0.02) than their less experienced colleagues.
Conclusion: The results demonstrate that practitioner's learning needs do vary according to the type of profession, time since graduation and prior research experience. Our survey findings are exploratory and will benefit from further replication, however, we do believe that they warrant consideration by allied health care and CAM tutors and trainers when planning EBP teaching curricula as it is important to tailor teaching to meet the needs of specific subgroups of trainees to ensure that specific learning needs are met

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Pengaruh pendidikan formal dalam cerpen Nisah Haron dan Aidil Khalid berdasarkan kerangka konseptual kata kunci
Get PDFTesis ini bertitik tolak daripada pengamatan awal yang mendapati kajian-kajian sedia ada berkaitan kegiatan penulisan kreatif lebih menonjolkan peranan pendidikan tidak formal, terutamanya pengalaman peribadi sebagai sumber penting dalam penulisan. Lanjutan daripada pengamatan ini, kajian ini menghujahkan bahawa pendidikan formal yang dimiliki oleh penulis memainkan peranan yang tidak kurang penting dalam mempengaruhi kegiatan penulisan kreatif mereka. Bagi memperkukuhkan hujah ini, kajian ini menarik perhatian kepada orang penulis yang telah mencipta nama yang tersendiri dalam dunia penulisan kreatif di negara ini, iaitu Nisah Haron dan Aidil Khalid, yang kedua-duanya merupakan penulis kreatif yang menerima pendidikan formal dalam bidang undang-undang. Tumpuan terhadap Nisah Haron dan Aidil Khalid ini diperkukuh dengan pengamatan awal terhadap persepsi serta komen umum daripada pembaca yang rata-rata menganggap karya-karya mereka banyak dipengaruhi oleh pendidikan formal dalam undang-undang yang dimiliki kedua-duanya. Hal ini dengan sendirinya mengundang sebuah kajian ilmiah yang menganalisis secara sistematik soal pengaruh pendidikan formal dalam cerpen-cerpen Nisah Haron dan Aidil Khalid. Pemilihan genre cerpen diasaskan pada justifikasi bahawa kedua-dua penulis ini dilihat lebih menyerlahkan dalam genre sastera tersebut berbanding genre-genre sastera yang lain. Justeru, cerpen-cerpen yang dijadikan sebagai bahan kajian ialah “Impian Tsu-Ryi” (2002) dan “Afidavit Emosi” (2002) karya Nisah Haron, dan “Bila Adik Dinie Melatah” (2008) dan “Res Judicata” (2011) karya Aidil Khalid. Kajian ini distrukturkan untuk merealisasikan dua objektif kajian. Pertama, menganalisis pengaruh pendidikan formal dalam cerpen-cerpen karya Nisah Haron dan Aidil Khalid. Kedua, merumuskan soal pengaruh pendidikan formal sebagai sumber penulisan kreatif dalam cerpen-cerpen karya Nisah Haron dan Aidil Khalid yang dikaji berdasarkan kerangka Konseptual Kata Kunci. Bagi merealisasikan kedua-dua objektif tersebut, kajian ini menerapkan Konseptual Kata Kunci yang dicetuskan oleh Mohammad Mokhtar Hassan, sebagai kerangka analisis. Pemilihan Konseptual Kata Kunci diasaskan kepada tiga prinsip yang ditawarkannya, iaitu prinsip “Kepengaruhan”, prinsip “Pemilihan Kata” dan prinsip “Kesan”. Dengan menerapkan ketiga-tiga prinsip ini, analisis mendapati Nisah Haron dan Aidil Khalid telah memanfaatkan antaranya kelayakan akademik dan pendidikan formal, selain pengalaman kerja dan kerjaya mereka dalam menulis cerpen-cerpen yang dikaji. Analisis juga mendapati bahawa kedua-dua penulis telah menghadirkan istilah-istilah yang secara khusus merujuk kepada bidang undang-undang. Hal ini menimbulkan kesan yang ketara bahawa penulisan cerpen-cerpen yang dikaji rata-rata dipengaruhi oleh pendidikan formal yang dimiliki oleh kedua-dua penulis. Dengan dapatan-dapatan daripada analisis ini, kajian ini berhasil dalam merumuskan bahawa cerpen-cerpen yang dikaji rata-rata dipengaruhi oleh pendidikan formal yang dimiliki oleh Nisah Haron dan Aidil Khalid. Kajian ini berserta penemuan-penemuannya diharapkan dapat memberikan sumbangan dalam memperkayakan lagi korpus penyelidikan dan sekali gus memperluaskan lagi sempadan penyelidikan berkaitan penulisan kreatif dalam kesusasteraan Melayu
Certifying Credibility: Trajectory of Sub-Saharan Asylum Seekers in Italy
Get PDF"A ‘truthful’ protection seeker would initiate their story with “because” or “because of”, underlining the necessity and the urgency of their displacement, which may be linked to war, genocide, natural disaster… Unlike the so-called ‘truthful’ protection seeker, the use of “for” and “so” turns the subject into a suspect, leaving his country to improve his living conditions, live a new adventure and pursue self-realization, something not allowed to people from the Global South. Drawing on an ethnography with refugees and protection seekers in Italy (region of Veneto), testimonies were generated to look at the complex processes involved in certifying eligibility to legal protection. This paper underscores the conditions under which migrants (re)invent a new identity to meet the institutional expectations of the European humanitarian criteria for asylum-seekers.""A ‘truthful’ protection seeker would initiate their story with “because” or “because of”, underlining the necessity and the urgency of their displacement, which may be linked to war, genocide, natural disaster… Unlike the so-called ‘truthful’ protection seeker, the use of “for” and “so” turns the subject into a suspect, leaving his country to improve his living conditions, live a new adventure and pursue self-realization, something not allowed to people from the Global South.
