A reflection on women’s strength in Perempuan Luka Kalis Kecewa
No full textMadihah, 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
No full textThis 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
Totalitarianism on Screen in the Light of H. Arendt's Political Thought
No full textU 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
Rat experimental rhinosinusitis and dural neurogenic inflammation
No full textUVOD: Epidemiološki su podaci pokazali povezanost različitih bolesti i stanja iz područja trigeminalne inervacije i povećane učestalosti primarnih glavobolja (migrena, tenzijska glavobolja, klaster glavobolja). Štakorski eksperimentalni modeli upale temporomandibularnog zgloba, upale mišića i potkožnog tkiva lica te neuropatske boli porijekla iz ogranaka trigeminalnog živca pokazali su da određena bolna stanja u kraniofacijalnoj regiji mogu biti praćena neurogenom upalom tvrde moždane ovojnice. ----- CILJEVI: Cilj je ovoga rada istražiti je li neurogena upala dura povezana i s upalom nosne šupljine i paranazalnih sinusa budući da su upalni (alergijski rinitis, kronični sinusitis) i anatomski (septalni izbojak, intranazalne kontaktne točke) poremećaji epidemiološki povezani s višom učestalošću primarnih glavobolja. ----- MATERIJALI I METODE: Upala nosne šupljine i sinusa štakora je izazvana intranazalnom instilacijom formalina (2.5%) ili kapsaicina (0.1%). Upala nosne sluznice i dure mater kvantificirana je spektrofotometrijskim mjerenjem ekstravazacije kompleksa boje Evans Blue s proteinima plazme. Bol je mjerena semikvantitativnom analizom facijalne grimase u štakora tijekom 40 min od izazivanja upale. Aktivacija neurona kaudalne spinalne trigeminalne jezgre (Sp5C) je određena brojenjem imunofluorescencijom obojenih c-Fos (+) neurona. ----- REZULTATI: Kapsaicin i formalin dani u nosnu šupljinu štakora uzrokuju jaču ekstravazaciju Evansovog modrila tj. upalu u nosnoj sluznici i duri mater u odnosu na fiziološku otopinu (p < 0.05). Postoji korelacija intenziteta upale dure mater s intenzitetom upale nosne sluznicu (R2 = 0,2712; p = 0.0155). Aktivacija c-Fos (+) neurona u Sp5C i facijalni izražaj boli su veći u životinja intranazalno tretiranih formalinom u usporedbi s fiziološkom otopinom (p < 0.01, odnosno p < 0.05). ----- ZAKLJUČAK: Rezultati pokazuju da i upala nosne šupljine može izazvati upalu tvrde moždane ovojnice te upućuju da bi upala dure mater mogla biti jedna od patogenetskih podloga primarnih glavobolja povezanih s bolestima nosa i paranazalnih sinusa.INTRODUCTION: Epidemiologic data shows an association of various diseases and conditions in the trigeminal innervation area with an increased incidence of primary headaches (migraine, tension type and cluster headache). Rat experimental models of temporomandibular joint, facial muscle and facial subcutaneous tissue inflammation, as well as of neuropathic pain stemming from trigeminal nerve branches, showed that certain painful conditions in craniofacial region are accompanied by neurogenic dura mater inflammation and that this phenomenon is specific for the cranial dura, i.e. it is not observed in the spinal dura. ----- OBJECTIVES: Herein it was examined if nasal cavity and paranasal sinus inflammation is associated with neurogenic dural inflammation, since many inflammatory (allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis) or anatomical (septal spur, intranasal contact points) disorders are associated with higher primary headache incidence. ----- MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nasal cavity and paranasal sinus inflammation was induced by intranasal formalin (2.5%) or capsaicin (0.1%) injection. Nasal mucosa and dural inflammation was quantified by spectrophotometric measurement of extravasated Evans blue and plasma protein complex. Pain was measured by rat grimace scale during 40 minutes after induction of inflammation. Activation of spinal caudal trigeminal nucleus (Sp5C) was measured by counting immunohistochemically c-Fos (+) neurons. ----- RESULTS: Capsaicin and formalin administered in rat nasal cavity cause more intense Evans blue extravasation, i.e. inflammation in the nasal mucosa and dura compared to saline (p < 0.05). There is a correlation between inflammation intensity of the nasal mucosa and dura (R2 = 0,2712; p = 0.0155). Activation of c-Fos (+) neuron sin Sp5C and facial pain expression were higher in group administered formalin compared to saline (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05 respectively). ----- CONCLUSION: The results show that nasal cavity inflammation can induce dural inflammation, and suggest that dural inflammation could be one of the pathogenetic mechanisms of primary headaches associated with conditions of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses
